We heard that the golf course got a lot of tree damage from yesterdays storm that came through. So the OFM decided to make the morning walk on the loop road that goes around the golf course and take a look.
Yep they had plenty of trees knocked down. Here is one that was at the fence next to the perimeter fence. That is a fairly stout looking tree to be getting blown down like that.
The next long stretch of the road is thick with trees all the way to the fence by the road.
This stretch of road gets really warm with direct sun and no breeze through the vegetation alongside the road. Once again today the OFM got to feeling rough in this stretch but today he turned around and got on out of the hot hole area and did well when he moved to a more open section of the road. This is what probably got to him a couple of days ago when he had to take it real east for the rest of the day. Today he recovered before he got back to the trailer. Yep folks who are heat sensitive have to be careful.
Nothing real special other than working on stopping the latest leak at the front window of the Castle. We did not find a leak spot so a general clean up of the entire window seams with some precautionary caulk applications resulted in no leaks when the afternoon short storm raged outside. So maybe we took care of it. We sure hope so.
That is about all. Folks are staying inside due to the heat and humidity instead of wandering around visiting each other. Typically this area has about 6-7 weeks like this each summer and then it cools quickly in early September and stays pretty nice until December.
Good night from hot and humid north Alabama.
That one tree may have been stout, but it appeared to be well rotted at its core.
ReplyDeleteStaying out of the extreme heat, is a great way for having tooooo much fun.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
