Two cars

Comfortably tucked in.

Just the right amount of room between them.

But now that we can get them both in side by side, we can see how much the carport roof doesn’t fully cover the outside car.  Now that the support has been extended, it’s time to extend the carport roof out that extra distance as well.  That will finish up the job properly.

The Gateway Arch

From a post in the way.

To wide open.

An east west beam to support the north south beam, and the bothersome post is gone.

Plenty of room for two cars side by side.  Perfectly functional.

And now that it’s built, we can see exactly what else to do to make it just right.

Another milestone

The weather forecast

Every day, less than 90 degrees.  Seems like we just hit our first forecast for every day below triple digits!  But another sure sign of fall.  Some thunderstorms, and (relatively) cooler weather.

Poof

Three days ago we had swarms of hummingbirds.  We were refilling feeders every day.  Suddenly, now, barely a bird.  One or two here and there.  There are still a few ruby-throated migrants, but not very many.  As migrants, they might hang around for a few days, or even a week each, but eventually they move on.  Even though they don’t flock, they don’t travel as a defined group, they might still arrive or leave together.  That seems to be what happened.  They all got the same idea at the same time, and poof.

Words of Wisdom

If you’re going to throw deep, don’t send a short receiver downfield.  The farther away they go, the smaller they get.  Send a 6”2, 6’4” receiver with a bigger catch radius.
