Our “weather break” gets here tonight. And we are a bit cooler but still very humid today. Maybe we’ll get showers or t’storms today, but they look to be quite scattered. We’ve actually dried out enough to need one!

Bah, the scattered showers went around us, and didn’t form a line until past us.

But, less humid air is beginning to move in - yay! Friday should be quite nice.

Low 80s were nice today but I still ran the AC in the truck due to humidity.

Shopping trip never happened as planned. While on Lowes website a couple of days ago, after having manually chosen a store, they decided a different store was better. Half of what I planned to get was not available in the original store that I had planned on going to.

I just went to the local town and got a couple of things from the hardware/lumber store and did food shopping. Got black poly to kill things off under the tunnel. Only $1.50 more. Grabbed a pair of hinges for the back door of the shed. It’s shimmed and screwed in place. All I need to do is screw the hinges on, take the holding screws and shims out and it’s a door.

Only item I didn’t get that I’m in a hurry for is mig welding wire but I took enough off the spool to get past the rusty wire for the most part so I should be able to weld now. I put the welder in the shed too where it will stay drier.

The “location” sniffing and altering what store I was viewing based on that still pisses me off but hey, their loss not mine. I spent less money and they had one less customer today.
