It’s for the dog. Since his massive spinal stroke last summer it’s impact the mobility of his back legs and also impacted his ability to fully control his bladder. He had another mini stroke in winter and has been on prednisone which makes him pee/poop a lot, and unfortunately in the house so it’s a lot of cleaning…a lot. One of those is also an antibacterial spray because he cuts his back feet on the pavement since he drags them. 

You're a mensch to take care of your dog after all that.

It’s been a wild year and expensive year. It happened almost exactly a year ago. He was in the hospital for a week and before he came home we had to drive an hour each day to learn how to express his bladder. We really struggled with it so we had to hire someone to come over the first week he came home to help us. The first two months my girlfriend and I alternated sleeping in the living room with him since he can’t get into the bed anymore. He’s come along way, but unfortunately won’t ever get 100% but we do what we can to make him happy

I think it’s a great outfit. The most important thing in life is to have fun.

Yup

[Snowedin]

It just got noticeably more humid here in the last hour or so. Was there some kind of invisible boundary that just passed through? Crazy how quickly things can change with a sudden wind shift. Those damn flies are popping up everywhere too!

Firewood. Kind of a waste. Gave a big burl to a guy the other day though. Can't wait to see what he does with it.

That's why I asked, hate to see a beautiful locust like that go for firewood

[Sled]

Kind of a leaner though anyway. I'll sleep well thinking about trying to mill that tension wood.

That one was very straight for a black locust.

True. Here's the burl

High of 79F up here today.

Dews in the 50s for the most part but rising throughout the day to 60F this evening.

A perfect summer day.

Not bad outside at all, looking forward to tomorrow!

Was at an antique store and hit the jackpot. Found a magazine from 1938 documenting the Great Hurricane. The images are unbelievable. Happy birthday to me!

I have the same magazine... Found it in a bookstore in Watch Hill, RI about 30 years ago!  I never pass up the chance to browse through local bookstores when traveling.

I've got that one also, found it last summer at a local yard sale.  I have a small collection of New England weather disaster books and ephemera.   Collecting weather history and history in general is a great hobby.  There are so many photos and stories that are not available through an internet search.

As I read your post I am here in North Myrtle Beach and the wind has gone from an estimated steady 10 to 15 miles an hour to a steady 20 to 30 with gusts considerably over 40 possibly a little over 45mph, heavy squalls coming through now, more exciting than I thought it would be.
