Greetings, gang.
60 hazy degrees this morning in the remote reaches of northern Iowa. Mid 80s later and rain chances start tonight and last well into next week.
The upstairs hallway redo is on the last lap. All the painting is done. I'm just waiting on the new hinges and knobs. Maybe today. One thing I learned from this project is that 3M blue tape #2093 billed as "Sharp lines multisurface" doesn't stick very well. I wound up throwing away about a half of a roll because it would not stay stuck to the walls or the ceiling. I also got the yard mowed and ran the edger around the sidewalks, regaining about a half acre from lawn creep.
This morning I need to start repairing the outdoor track. The deer have been particularly active in the back yard this year. Also on the to do list is a ball game at 10 AM this morning and another about an hour and a half away at 3:30. I'll probably skip that one.
Gas is holding at $3.69.
All stay safe.
Tom
