Gosh - what a beautiful night.
 

Finally got a break in the weather - for a while there, I thought I
was living in Seattle what with all rain and cloudy weather.

Got out the Celestron and did a little star gazing for a while. Nice
and peaceful, spotted some sats - general looking around.

Really nice night - even started seeing some lightning bugs which is a
first for this year.

Gosh - what a beautiful night.

==================================

What the heck is *hoemade sin*? I can think of a couple things but they
can't be right.

Oh, by the way, it's 76*/95% humidity here in central Fl, just like it is
every night this time of year.

I wouldn't trade it for snow though.

Gosh - what a beautiful night.

I took the boat out on San Francisco Bay this morning. Got up early and
launched at the crack of 10 am. Trolled for halibut and stripped Bass. No
joy, so went over to San Bruno Shoals. A high spot between Oakland Airport
and San Fran airport. in the middle of the bay. Anchor fishing, landed a
couple small Mud Marlins (Bat Rays) and a few Smooth Hound sharks. Was fun.
Another boat at the ramp lost a 7' 7 gill shark at the boat. They are a
good tasting shark. Afternoon winds came up, and with the offshore fog
bank, cooled down to maybe 65. Went in, clean boat, and headed off to
welding class. Life is good. Was maybe 80 and 20% humidity at home.

Gosh - what a beautiful night.

The corn field is really late this year - by now it's usually hip
high, barely touches my knees.

But the hay - oh my gosh am I getting a second cut - you wouldn't
believe the quality of the alfalfa/timothy mix the leasing farmer
planted last year - it's amazing.

I'll bet we're going to get 1,000 - maybe 1,200 bales this year on
second cut, with some heat I'll get a third and probably a fourth cut
off the fields.

Gosh - what a beautiful night.

I hear that - I'm tired of snow, sleet and freezing rain.

We're having quite the debate back East about sharking.

There's some alarming evidence that the normal numbers of dogfish are
decreasing along with some other species we see off the islands this
time of year. Apparently doggies are popular in Britian for use in
fish 'n chips - who knew.

There's been some suggestion that the makos, blues and sand sharks
normally visiting the environs by this time just aren't there and it's
been getting worse every year since about 2004.

Gosh - what a beautiful night.

Sweet! I don't remember ever getting more than two cuts from our fields in
northern MA. Maybe we did, but that was a looong time ago.

I'm glad we've sent you our June weather. We've had nearly zero
rainfall in 6 weeks.

Gosh - what a beautiful night.

The guy who leases my fields generally gets three, but the second cut
is almost three weeks early this year. Good quality too, but then it's
a second year plant - no weeds either.

With the corn, he did a no-till plant this year - might not have been
the smartest thing he could have done given what happened this Spring,
but it's a time saver and much more efficient.
