The weather was mild for this time of year this past week in Central Missouri. It's raining now, and it looks like that will continue into the evening. I'd hoped to get some cleanup work done in the garden today but it's too wet outside for that so I'm just going to relax.

We finished the late-winter pre-mow Thursday evening. I dropped the Kubota zero-turn and Pops' RedMax lawn tractor off at the mower doc store after work yesterday for their annual maintenance visit. They'll be done in a couple weeks and we'll be ready when the grass starts growing again.

Forecast for tomorrow is dry with temps close to 60°F, which will be perfect for the task that we have planned. Geologist guy will be here in the morning to do the ground penetrating radar survey of our family cemetery. We're hoping to get the LIDAR scan done while the GPR work is happening. Our LIDAR scanner is a bit under-powered for outdoor work, so we'll need a little bit of cloud cover to get it accomplished. If it's too sunny to get good data we'll go back later and try again.

Miss Booger and Mrs. Augie are on their way to a cabin at Truman Lake for her BFF's birthday celebration so Howard and I will be fending for ourselves the rest of the weekend. I've got plenty of groceries on hand to feed myself. Howard has a big sack of his favorite chewy treats and a heater next to his cushion. We should be good for the duration.

Howard is one LUCKY DOG! If he ever acts up again, make him watch one of those ‘Sad Puppy Commercials’ so he remembers how LUCKY he is, LOL!

I always have to turn those off. I KNOW people do bad things to animals, but ours are working dogs AND beloved members of the pack. :)
