And so it goes. The best intentions and all that, but in the split between life, work, chores, fun on the boat, etc ... I've not posted here. Sorry-ish. So what's been going on... August was a fairly wet month up here, compared to the first couple of months of Summer. I know you Californians will hate us for this, but just this morning, we had 1.25 inches of rain, bringing the month's total up close to a nearly normal 3". The weather is about to turn, though.
