I added things during its stay, but high temperatures caused me to do less than I wanted. Still, over 90% was filled. I topped it off with mattresses and the box springs from an old bed. A couple of small lamp shades were discovered. I don&#8217;t recall having seen them. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Lamp-shades-small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"589\" height=\"316\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12158\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Lamp-shades-small.jpg 589w, http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Lamp-shades-small-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 589px) 85vw, 589px\" \/>The circle on top is 4.5 inches across. The texture is sort-of crisp, and whether they began life that way or not, it is different and interesting.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/VacMaster.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"293\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-12156\" \/><br \/>\nDuring the cleanup, two old carpet vacuums were less than satisfactory. They got tossed. A third is more for things not on the floor. It gets too warm and quits if used very long, say 5 minutes.<br \/>\nSo I ordered a large shop-vac. It has a 12 gallon container and a 2.5 inch diameter hose. About 50 years ago we had something similar, called a Filter Queen. This one is a different technology, and prettier. <\/p>\n<p>Saturday morning, about 9am, Kathy and Janelle came with a pickup and flatbed trailer. Temperature was about 87 at the airport \u2013 maybe 85\u00b0 here. That crept while we worked, in part shade and with a slight breeze, just 5 or 6 mph \u2013 but it helped.<br \/>\nWe loaded about 6 tons of hay (110 pound 3-string bales).<br \/>\nWhile Janelle strapped the load, Kathy and I searched the edge of the stash of stuff I had put in the hay shed last spring.  Years ago at our horse club meetings there would be a raffle of donated items, usually horse related. We won our share and acquired things, such as lead ropes, we already had. We found 2 leads this morning, and a few other things.<br \/>\nThat pile of items and boxes are next on the agenda for a sort, toss, and repurpose day. We&#8217;ll need cooler weather.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m headed to a birthday celebration for an 80 year old I don&#8217;t know. I know many in the family, but he is the father of a son that married Suzy West&#8217;s younger sister. The gathering is at the old homestead NE of Kittitas, about 15 minutes from here. <\/p>\n<p>Temperature at the airport is now 99\u00b0 @ 1:00 pm.<\/p>\n<p>From the Naneum Fan<br \/>\nJohn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best video I&#8217;ve seen of the collapse of the building in Florida.
