Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

I really have to thank you guys for helping me appreciate living here even more. Not only all the really nice comments from time to time, but at least twice a year when you are inundated with snow and freezing your butt or the sun is roasting it at triple digits. Thank you guys.

RS, you're slacking today.... "no planting done".....???

Just conserving energy for the "big planting push" ... :

Got 'em all weeded (picture taken a little before I was finished) If the sun stays out, they're gonna need watered again by the end of the day.

Not sure what I'll get into today. I might try to start on the picket fence project, but I really don't want to be out in the heat. A better option might be to make the raised bed planter out in the shop... at least I can have a fan blowing on me there. OR..... maybe bring in another RC for rehabbing..... I'm sure I will get into something.....

After being out there in the sun for a bit, I like the way you're thinking ...

And it ain't nearly as hot here as it is there ... yet anyways.

I need to get the hairs cut.... and the beard scruff shaved off....

Same ... but not for quite as long on the beard anyways. Probably on the hair and it's starting to become annoying.

Time to grab a shower and then make the run to Menards.

Reel-ly like my Eley hose reel also. I should get another for the front hoses, except still never replaced that hose bib.

75° and 80% humidity. Starting to cloud up, better jump on mower.

nice surprise at church, someone actually volunteered to be Clerk of Meeting (head) so I can leave the position in two weeks.
I've known him since I was a little kid; he and I have been members all our lives, grateful he is stepping up. Now I can relax....

more rain headed in later, stormy weather

probably should go plant those two trees that came in but going to wait until tomorrow, should be a nice day
in fact looks like all that high heat out West will not quite make it here; no days in 90's in 10 day forecast. Fine by me

Also managed to get an Eley wall mounted hose reel installed yesterday. I was impressed with the quality of the parts, but not so much with the packaging. It was sturdy enough, but really difficult to find all the pieces and break them free of their packaging. But the best thing is how well it works. I was able to mount it parallel with the wall, so the hose comes straight into the reel. The sides of the reel are sloped, so it almost automatically spools the hose in level lifts with only minor encouragement. Might have to get one or two more, they work so nicely. It's been long enough that I forget who mentioned it in this thread, but thanks!

You are welcome.

Thank you from me as well Don!

Thomas, glad you got some seat time! What time is dinner?

Whenever one shows up with appetite.

Hope your taking it easy on your knees.

Chipper is rigged...had one Delta Sierra* moment

Chipped some branches that were down and trimmed a couple which I also chipped
Since the hospital stay last October and the recent ministroke, I've lost a lot of strength and stamina...really noticed that today. Granted, I'm mostly sedentary at work...that doesn't help either.
Getting old sucks...better then the alternative, I guess

My Delta Sierra moment was not moving the QH upper hook to the proper position...high for the chipper, low for the flail mower and snow blower. Can't believe I did that...but I did...

*Delta Sierra...the military phonetic alphabet...Delta is "D", Sierra is "S"
Delta Sierra is "Dumb ****"...military equivalent to "Senior Moment"

Agreed, I find myself more frequently being grateful vs the alternative.
