It was mid 70sF and a little bit warmer most of yesterday, but overcast with occasional very light mist.  Then the front crossed over about 11pm and the temperature dropped to mid 60sF.  The rain shouldn&#8217;t last long, and I&#8217;m hoping for no precip today.<\/p>\n<p>Mainly because the big job yesterday was having a tree company do some cleanup.   They remediated the damage to the big tree in the front yard from the &#8216;derecho&#8217; winds last year, and were supposed to do some cleanup and prevention in the pines that were struck by lightning a couple of weeks ago.  They didn&#8217;t quite get done yesterday though so they need to come back today and finish.  If it&#8217;s not raining and there isn&#8217;t any lightning. <\/p>\n<p>While that work was going on, I continued on my office cleanup.  I made some progress and you can actually see the floor in the office, and not just in narrow tracks to get to my safe and my desk.  <\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ll start with my non-prepping hobby meeting, and then get back to work on the office and house cleanup.  If it&#8217;s not raining, I might get to make some trips to the shop, and maybe take another load out of storage.  That&#8217;s the very tentative plan.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile the world turns and lots of things are in motion that probably won&#8217;t end well.  Better to be ready, and for some, better to leave early than to leave too late.  <\/p>\n<p>Prep, stack, get your house in order.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know how last night&#8217;s storm will play out, probably it will be clear but muggy today.
