Who knows what the future will hold.

I have no idea and I don't have a crystal ball either.

Me neither.
But I do know we will get some nice weather.

I certainly hope so.  I'm looking forward to a weather forecast of sunny, clear days.

We seem to be getting just these.

I'm just going to try and relax and wait for some nice Spring weather.

It has arrived here. Ok, still a bit cold, but nice and clear.

Too bad my DJI order is still waiting for warehouse processing.

I saw you posted in the Service section inquiring about the warehouse hold up.  One time when I ordered mine seem to stay showing processing for a while but then all of a sudden 2 days later I had it in hand.  I think their system just doesn't update quickly.

Hey, I could stand a little nice and clear here.  Care to share some of yours?  

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-8 05:33

Yeah, I can.
Just give me your post address and I'll capture some and send it your way.

Funny enough Roger and David both had quick deliveries from the NL warehouse.

{:4_125  I wish it would be that easy.  Seems we may have some coming in the 10 day forecast.

Maybe the NL warehouse is out and they are coming in from a different warehouse.  Hopefully, you'll get some positive feedback on your inquiry to the Mods/Admins.

Not sure.
We'll have to wait and see.

Yup.
Hope for the best.

I usually get a response to my posts to a Mod/Admin within 24 hours.  I wish all the spammers would go away and stay away as that takes up time that the Mods/Admins could be answering forum inquiries.  

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 06:09
Yup.

I've got my fingers crossed.  Would love to see and feel some sun for a change.  Wore out from all the rain.

Good for the waterlevels

True.
I did get a UPS notification from a weird transport company (that is valid from what I see, I just never heard of it).
So maybe that is from DJI.
But no status update on the DJI store.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 06:45

It is, but enough is enough.  No doubt later this summer we will be whining that we need some rain though.

Hopefully that is for the products you ordered.

Yeah, hope so too!

I know. Just kidding
Ok, it holds some truth.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 06:57

I've found in the past that some tracking tools are not very forthcoming with information.  For example who the shipper was, weight, etc.  

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 06:57

In many places in Florida the water table is within 1 foot of the surface and sometimes less.  So it doesn't take a lot of rain to create issues.

I just got a reply. Should be here Monday (so that UPS notification was for DJI)

Oh wow. That is good for many plants.

That's great news.  

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 10:10

The plants do enjoy that.  However, because the water table is so close to the surface many trees roots do not go deep in search of water and nutrients so as they grow taller and become top heavy they do tend to blow over in heavy winds.

Ah yes, that makes sense.
So somewhere 'in between' would be better.
(enough water, but lower water table. )

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-9 06:34
That's great news.

Absolutely.
I did get a lot done today, so that is nice too.
I cut almost all the reveals. I hope to be finishing that next Monday, so I am ready with that before the oil comes that we ordered for the sills.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-9 10:14

Exactly.  The soil content here is very sandy and contains very little clay.

Sounds like you've had a very busy end to the week.  I saw the update on IG and the cuts turned out really well.

Do you ever experience real drought then?

It was very productive indeed.

Very nice update.    I know you still have a ways to go but you have really come a long way on the reno project.

South Florida has a tropical climate. There used to be a defined rainy season from late May through October when air mass thundershowers that build in the heat of the day drop heavy but brief summer rainfall. Average annual rainfall is 61.9 inches annually.  Although with global climate change seems weather patters are really changing.

Yes, that can mess things up.

100%.
If I could take 2 weeks off, it would probably be done. But that's not possible (and it was part of the agreement, so I don't mind)

It can and has been messing things up.
