Woah. (camping, bird notes, road trip, perpetual calendar, watching notes, weather, household )
Busy, i presume with focus on the eclipse road trip planning after a weekend with family. I am also learning substack, as a place to share longform posts under my public name, and instagram, to weasel my way into my niblings' lives. Eldest nibling is not found on Instagram yet. So it goes.
Sports: great LSU vs Iowa women's basketball game. Have enjoyed watching the NCSU men's team as well. So tickled NCSU women's and men's teams are going to final four. The women's championship is while i am driving to Indiana and the men's while i am in Indiana. I have figured out the radio stations that might carry the men's game at the campground.
Learned how to use instagram's editor and posted this there, as well, with words on it. No music, no hyping over-speaking.
Sunday my raingage thermometer hit 93°. Raleigh had its record pollen count on Monday, no fooling, 1.48 times the count of the next highest record pollen count. I've been watching the high flying fireflies the past three nights (not as unusual as that seems). The wall of green is going up, but i can still see some sky. Today's high is 74°, low 44° and some nights ahead with lows in the mid 30s, which means i should cover the blueberries.
Eclipse weather changes EVERY TIME i look. Damp probably, but not so much to turn me off. I am going to see how comfortable the jeep's seats are when reclined and check on running a tarp from the roof. We'll be getting tents from my sister, but....
Getting the deck stained because the wood is suffering from the elements. Power washed yesterday - top step had a pretty rotten spot (due to me having planters on the wood, i wager. Kinda worried how it will look with all the weathered wood siding, but taking care of one of the many things that needs to be done is good. Way expensive job, but we really like this tradesperson. Christine spent time talking radio and X-files with him, so i think she's happy coordinating this work.
