I woke up about 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After a short surfing session I went outside to take out the garbage and walk the fence.
I took the saws-all with me when I went. It was a good idea. There were a lot of limbs to cut along the side by the woodpile. After that it was sections of easy walking followed by sections with harder walking. I ended up with several cuts on my arms and legs from branches. There's one post in the SW corner that needs some repair.
The weather was hot and humid the whole time I was out. I came back soaked in sweat, covered in tree debris, and VERY tired. I drank a whole bottle of water and sat down in the recliner. That lead to a long nap.
I felt really guilty about not taking Abby out today. I was just too tired to do it at first, and later on it was too hot. She was pretty good about it, but had several attacks of the zoomies. I gave her a new toy as partial compensation.
I had really old pizza for lunch and then switched between videos and surfing for the rest of the afternoon. I didn't start to feel human again until close to dinner time.
Dinner was a frozen thing. After dinner I switched from videos to a movie.
A little after 9 the weather radio went off warning of a thunderstorm. It said it was going to miss us. The storm did not. It started very quickly going from a drizzle to a downpour with hail in 2 minutes. I ran outside and drove the car to the garage. I had to move all of Ellen's painting stuff out of the way before I could put the car in. By the time I got back to the house I was as wet as if I'd jumped into a swimming pool.
We got 1.75 inches of rain in less than an hour. The hail didn't last long, but it was about 1/2 inch in size. I won't know if the car was damaged until tomorrow.
I took a shower when I got back, wrote this up, and went to bed. The weather radio says that we may get hit again about 1:00.
