RGL Posted June 19 Author Share #75 Posted June 19 Next is to seal it in; I’ve cutout a shell hole which will be filled with water and the little mortar half submerged.

Canute Posted Monday at 12:53 PM Share #86 Posted Monday at 12:53 PM That scene is well appreciated up here in the normally cool mountain of western North Carolina. We're high 80s/low 30sC today, other parts of the eastern US are well into the 90s/mid 30s. I spent the weekend in northern Alabama. where it was a juicy 96F/35C with high humidity, making for a very bad Heat Index..
