good morning all. Start of hot dry weather for awhile. 70 now, shooting up to 93
and hotter later this week.
Going to powerwash fence rails today. Pretty easy job, spray bleach down one section, wash, repeat.
But first I have to go on my hands and knees and weed the nut trees. As I've said before, my help does not like to bend over. They just want to run machinery. Today a big chewout to one of them because they have been hitting my little trees with the weedeater. Bad idea. New rule, one inch away. Bend over and weed. No exception. All the fruit and nut trees have mulch borders; this problem is with my other small trees planted. They don't seem to understand that a plastic fence post is not in the same league as a living small tree. Lot of bark damage; that's going to stop today.
Happy Birthday Kyle.
Ed, can you take a pic of a spinning horse? did I get that right? some of us know nothing about knitting(?) and I'm curious what your wife is using.
In the old days I would have finished my tree trimming yesterday. In the new days, I left all the trimmings on the ground when my BP started pounding away. I can feel it in my neck and it's time to stop. Particularly when one is working alone. Can't call for help if I'm keeled over. Need to be careful for a few days in this really hot weather, it's finishing that "one more" that I have to learn to say, tomorrow. So do a lot of us aging spring chickens.
Farmer, I figured you had those fans I see in Northern tools that are as high as a man, whooooossshhhhhhh
are those fans rusting from moisture or the chicken environment they are in? Almost makes you want to buy fans with SS frames. Now those would cost a pretty penny...but at least all you'd have to do is replace the motors.
I still feel bad when I buy chicken breasts at $1.79 a pound. Price hasn't gone up in many years.
Farmer needs to be paid more. :2cents:
had a delicious vegetable lasagna last night made at a local shop. Absolutely delicious but a touch too much salt for me, which is normal, because almost everything salted tastes too salty for me. Though give me some crunchy dill gherkins and I'd eat them all day long. A pickle is a fine way to get some extra salt for the summer.
