Uh-oh, clowns are out and about. And so now is this clown.

Lovely - yet dreadfully boring weather - so here's a barn update. Still need to knock out the cupola, but nearly done with framing and sheathing. Getting a nice patina on that CDX. Underlayment and house wrap soon. Also, I only slipped and needed my harness to save my life once while nailing down that roof sheathing.

2.81" storm total in the stratus. Power was out for a couple hours last night too.

Faked my way down to 48.9° this morning.

0.27", MTD up to 2.55", lol.

87.1°/71.5° Very dumb.

It no longer rains. The lawn has undergone desertification and Shai-Hulud is on the prowl. Spice Melange hangs in summer zephyrs that give no moisture. I'm making a stillsuit in my basement as we speak.

Headed up to a car show at Weirs Beach today - Dad and an old Navy friend of his wanted to go and I didn't have anything planned, so I had them pick me up and take me along. Nice day for it for sure. But damn, the perception of what makes a "cool car" really does swing wildly from generation to generation. I couldn't peel my Dad away from the slew of C2 Corvettes they had there. Meanwhile someone had brought a BMW Z8 that I couldn't take my eyes off of, ha! Anyway... If ya got a lot of money to blow and space to boot, do yourself a favor and buy a low mileage Testarossa, 348, F355, etc. One day, those cars will be worth a lot of money, And nostalgic Boomers will no longer be around to pay $400,000 for a mass-produced Chevy, lol.

52.0° this morning. Perfect summer low as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, wow! Blow boater really shouldn't be heeled so nicely through that cut, but makes for an awesome pic!

Only 0.03" on the day so far, lol. May: 3.33" June: 2.84" July: 1.76" MTD

Nope! Have had a ton of help from my Dad. Contracted out all of the concrete work as well.

Correct! Inside stairs will work for boards up until 12ft or so. Past that? No chance at the pivot.

2x12s at 16" centers was a bad choice. Not much of an update - but for your entertainment I've linked a 10 minute video showcasing the my struggle of setting just one of those things in place. =>

I think it's Wyckoff.
