So, I guess Florence slowed, grew, jinked South, and sputtered along Westbound at 6 MPH. What I can tell you is this … in Efland NC (~ 183.65 miles from the NC coastline) we received 0.11 inches of rain (measured) and a maximum wind of 17.4 MPH (measured). Nothing to write home about (figuratively).
It was overcast, drizzly and gusty winds all day. In other words … boring. 😉
Took the opportunity to assemble and test the County Line 3-point hitch mounted post hole digger and 9″ auger. Works pretty well. I need to figure out why it got out of balance and shimmied so much when removing the bit from the hole under PTO power.
Counted between 10 and 12 new baby bunnies (kits) in the litter big mamma (aka ‘Smudge’) dropped yesterday. They all look good, viable and healthy.
No updates on the 20 duck eggs I stuck in the incubator the other day. In about a week, I’ll pull them out and ‘candle’ them to see how many of them are developing inside.
Took an afternoon nap, got up, went out, and damn near killed myself pulling down a ‘widow-maker’ tree that had succumbed to the gusty winds today. Caught the episode on video, for your viewing pleasure. Lesson Learned: NEVER spontaneously intervene in a widow-maker without planning and safety gear. Stupid mistake … dodged a bullet … wiser for the faux pax.
Another day … another learning opportunity.
