Morning at the Aerie, September 2, 2009

I got four hours in the woods with the chainsaw cutting the larger tree tops into fireplace length sections before the Craftsman saw decided it had had enough. It did this last time I was out too. Four hours and then it refuses to start after I refuel. It must be a temperature thing. I came back to the house and cut the grass, had dinner, and picked through the remnants of the cukes and tomatoes. Then cleaned the saw up and gave it a try. Voila! First pull it started right up. Like I said, it must be a temperature thing. Not meant to run all day. That's okay. Neither am I.

Speaking of temperature...It sneaked up to 74 degrees at 1630 yesterday, which is about what the weather.com folks had predicted. A gorgeous day all things considered. Over night temp dropped to 48 degrees. Today (Wednesday), tomorrow and Friday promise more of the same.

Terry and her Mom made it safely to Mt. Airy, NC for the military reunion. The number of WWII vets attending this thing has greatly diminished but the wives and children have made friends over the years and they continue to show up.

As an added bonus, some relatives from the Sumter area of SC drove up to see Mom who is now 86 and still going strong.

Well, I've a few errands to run and then a date with Mr. Chainsaw. See ya later.
