All's well that ends well. Windy here too. But nice sunny skies so no complaints.

Dang you lowlanders, we only got a flash or two of sunshine today and no wind. Maybe tomorrow. 14 extra pumpkins in the back of my pickup to be delivered, we are supposed to get a real hard frost tomorrow night. Glad to have the squash out of the garden.

First sunny day in over a week. It was appreciated. My son and I cleaned out several beds today.

Over here on the "East Side" it's been beautiful. Fog in the morning and 60 degree sunny days....until last night. Looks like winter is here.

Highbeam - I've been wanting to do pumpkins for a while now. Do you start early and keep them covered? Next year I'm doing pumpkins, early cantaloupe and potatoes in stacked tires! (among other things..)

We plant seeds direct as soon as we can get away with it. Some years we lose half of the seeds to rot and only get 40 pumpkins like this year or some years they all take off and we get 80 pumpkins. I only consume about 30 so we always have enough extra to share with coworkers and stangers.

My neighbor actually got watermelons this year.

We're having a great day today. Lots of sun.

Sorry about the thread drift.

No need to apologize about the drift....This thread is just about finished any how....

Just got my inspection. All is passed and signed off.

I'll post a couple of pics tonight of the finished product to wrap up the thread.

I actually installed the fan pictured below last winter. It's plugged into a landscape light remote. The remote is plugged into the same recepticle as the lights, so the fan shuts off when I shut off the lights.

....and a few pics of the finished project. (You'll also notice that I "borrowed" some one's firewood rack plans :cool:

Emulation is the highest form of flattery!)

Looks good Mike, I like the idea of the fan on the circuit with the lights, might have to "borrow" theat idea from you.
