Greetings and welcome!
We have a cool and rainy day today. Both are a relief. I have had enough hot weather for a while, and we needed the rain badly.
The rain is an off and on affair, and more of the same is expected tomorrow. As the main area of the storm heads off to the southeast we will still get occasional showers that circulate around it.
I have a saying.. The forecast is usually worse than the weather. That is what I think that we have here. Looking at the radar in western WI and eastern MN they are getting showers but they are a lot lighter and more occasional that we are seeing right near the storm. It could go either way, but I am expecting a decent day tomorrow with only some occasional rain.
Tomorrow is the big hog wrestling event at the Caldron Falls Bar. Steve is back and the fun continues just like in years past. For once it won’t be 90+ degrees and sunny. I did the video there a few years and really got bleached and overheated up on the roof. At that point I always associated this weekend with hot weather. This year should be much more comfortable.
Locals know that hog wrestling means a big law enforcement presence in the area. Bring your designated driver or use one of the many taxis or shuttles available.
For additional events happening this weekend I will refer you to last week’s poster pictures. There are 4 or 5 events happening this weekend.
I have been working a lot and haven’t had much time to spend outside this week. I know that I have a mountain of stuff that I want to tackle outside once it cools off, not the least of which is starting on the year’s firewood. I just don’t do that when it is 85 or 90 and sunny out. I am ready for cooler weather, and it looks like this week will go my way. The warmest that I see is the low 80s early week.
That same busy work schedule has limited my critter sightings a little. The big two this week were both spiders. One was in the center of her masterfully spun web and was pretty neat to see. The other one was a big one on the ground that made the mistake of coming toward me.. That didn’t go well for her.
I am hoping that I will get to spend a lot more time outside this coming week. In the meantime it is time for me to get back to work. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
