I have finished my second six tons of wood, cut and split. By the time I finished with it this morning I could have wrung my shirt out and gotten quite a bit of water. I am glad I have finished with that one though. Now it is on to the next task. Cleaning up the lawn and weeding the garden are next. Then there are the stalls in the barn. I hope to have all that done by Friday. Even if I have to work between showers during the week I need to gat that done and get some training in for the Multiple Sclerosis benefit ride that I am involved in this coming weekend. I am planning a 20+ mile ride tomorrow morning. We did have a couple very brief showers this afternoon out of the stratocumulus clouds that gathered. There was not enough to measure though. My digital weather station says we have had 2.22 inches of rain for the month, and my analog rain gauge says 2.5 inches. I did miss a couple showers with computer issues, so I would believe the analog gauge this month.
For the overnight the N.W.S. forecasts light scattered showers to start, and that turning to fog for the rest of the period. The NEXRAD radar shows a few echoes around, but I do not believe they are moving our way. The Weather Underground model forecast maps seem a bit unsettled, and we could have some scattered showers overnight and into tomorrow morning.
My Weather Stick points slightly up. The relative humidity is on the rise however. My Weather Station and Min/Max Thermometer indicate unsettled weather (a mix of fair skies and clouds) with rising barometric pressure. The remote weather station still calls for steady barometric pressure and clouds. I suspect that unsettled weather overnight is the best we can hope fore. Tomorrow morning will tell the tale however.

The N.W.S. did not get a single temperature correct today. They only got the last two points correct for the relative
humidity. That is terrible, and should not be acceptable to us a taxpayers. I am not impressed.
