Sore from finally finishing (mostly) the deer fence in the critical parts of the orchard, hopefully before the deer have ruined the trees.

The only problem I've had with consumer cellular is the coverage here on the island, but thats at&t/t-mobile not cc. Ive been very happy with them, no long term contract, good experiences with service people.

There was sun for a while but clouds are rolling in, looks like a more normal year for rain. Weeding and mowing. Looks like an electrical problem with the fuel system on the pickup...i hate electrical problems.

The grounded marine effect has lifted and it looks pretty nice out, more yard work in store.

50 more feet of "anti beaver" fence installed this morning, wanted to do a little more, but I need to do some chainsaw work first. There's a rumor on the island of someonne releasing a beaver from a boat onto the island, I'd be more likely to believe a large sea otter, but will be watching for tell tale signs of the toothy varmint.

Happy little clouds in the sky.
Gonna see if i can loosen the bolts holding the bed on the old pickup in an attempt to avoid pulling the fuel tank so i can replace the fuel pump. Someday i hope to do this kind of work on something other than a gravel driveway.
Trying not to get my hopes up but the contractor says the house will be here midday on 7/14. Practicing my happy dance.

Are dads and sons as complicated as moms and daughters?
I know i had a better relationship with my dad then he had with his...but it's complicated.
On the whole, i suppose, i wish I'd been a better son.
Happy Fathers Day, pop.

Getting some rain today which means a break from mowing. I'm sure there's something else I need to do.

It's a bird morning here, hummers are out in force, fledglings are getting in practice, three different kinds of swallows dive bombing the fresh cut grass, or the pond. Haven't scene the heron, but it's a crafty bugger, surprising how something that big can hide so well.
More mowing in store, then try to find out why the pickup died, no rest for the retired.

Taking mom to have her haircut at a new stylist, her old one used the huddle in place as a good reason to retire. Hoping the current clouds are only marine effect and I'll be able to catch up a little on the mowing.

I'll probably make the trip since I still have 2 storage units of stuff to move and planned a substantial cleanup and haulage this year. But don't want to endanger anyone.
