Expecting over an inch of rain this morning which means no tree work, no driving range, and definitely no golf as an option. It seems pretty windy too which will likely place our farm walk under suspension as well. This is just going to make the grass grow more than it needs to now. Where was all this rain back in July & August when we were desperate for it, you know? I realize this is good for the water table, and refilling the ponds, and streams and such around here, but… Gah! Never can get it when we want it.
I’m glad I took some time yesterday to remove a portion of the larger tree limb that required the ladder, and a chainsaw. I made three quarters of the cut before the saw gave out. Which is concerning. I suspect bad premixed gas as the culprit. Hope the saw isn’t too far gone because of it. So once the saw quit I took the rest of what I was going to cut with a hand saw. I lopped all the whispy bits off, and broke the larger bits down by hand. I still have a good portion of the remaining limb left to go, but eh? What are you going to do? Wait out the rain.
It is Thursday. I saw the Jays make a 5-0 come back from the middle of the third inning to win 13-9 in the ninth. That was initially disappointing, and turned out to be rather exciting to watch. The bleachers in Cincinnati were 90% empty, so I’m sure that didn’t help the Reds out all that much. No cheering, no fanfare. Crickets. I never did get the kids out to a Jays game this summer. Prices went up — of course. Too expensive to take all four of us and get halfway decent seats. I’m not certain that they’d sit through a full three plus hours of baseball anyway. So maybe, no harm done. Have fun on this rainy September Thursday in 2025.
