    It went back up to hot and humid here again in the 80s. Maybe that wind will get to us and cool it down some. T-storms tonight.

    Yes, we too had some of that wind yesterday. That quite often is the start of fall. August most times are light wind and many times calm. I used to look forward to that when riding bicycle. August was always my highest mileage total and several 100+ mile rides. Boy how I miss that.

    Got paid to make firewood today...had to take down a big dead boxelder at work.
    When it hit the ground a squirrel must have been in the hollow upper trunk...he was hightailing it across the yard toward the woods!
    Found these HUGE grubs in the tree too...wonder what they are? IMG_20200903_143953412.jpg

    Kinda hard to tell from the pic but looks like it has an orange head which is most likely a stag beetle from the size of the grub. There are hundreds if not thousands of stag beetles /wood grubs and you'd need an entomologist to identify it.

    I took care of the slate pile that my friend dropped off. In about 2 hours I cut the smaller pieces into 4" x 4" squares. The tile cutter was a borrowed stationary motor, and the guide fence was plastic. It moved a few times so some of the tiles are a little off.

    So I am about 36" wide by 42" deep. I'll cut 20 more just to be sure I have plenty for 18" front clearance. We had unfading green slate at the last house, but this is more than good. It is gooder.

    I have a chimney service stopping out next week for install pricing. Hopefully we can nail this install down this fall. Last pieces of dvl will be here in a few days. I can't let this go another season.

    Met up with the neighbors today and they are having some trees taken down and said I can have the wood. Several cords of ash and cherry it looks to be.
