We had such a beautiful long Spring, the transition to Summer is a bit brutal.   Saying that, it was 67F when I woke up at the BOL yesterday.  And 74F when I finally got moving.   I did some extra work outside figuring it would be months before it was this cool again.<\/p>\n<p>That extra work was cutting down a tree.  The other work was cleaning up from the rain and wind storm.  Neighbor had a huge oak blow down, I just had some standing dead wood and the top of one medium sized tree that landed on the deck.<\/p>\n<p>It still took a while to get all the other loose debris and branches added to the burn pile.   And I was pretty sweaty and hot by the end, despite the <80F temps.\n\nGot everything cleaned up and eventually headed home.  \n\nThis is a really short week for me.  Kids have half days due to testing.  Then we're going to see mom and sibling in Fla.   Maybe see the new Universal stuff. Maybe some mouse stuff. \n\nThat means, no bidding on stuff until I get back, and getting everything I previously bid on before I leave.  Oh, and wrangling the kids through doctor's appointments and their normal activities.  All while getting ready to go out of town.  Joy.\n\nThese are the good old days though, so I'll suck it up.\n\nNot much stacking goin' on...\nnick\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot and humid.  Really.
