oh my, found out I have another illness today
cucumber blindness is the term
cause of oversize cucumbers

It is also known as “cucumber blindness”. The gardener can’t see them until they are blimps.
One day it’s a gherkin, next day it’s a blimp.


I now have three blimps. I call veggies like this "hiders" because they sure do


going to peel them, scoop out the seeds,and mince them into something

I much prefer them when they are pickle size

found that one of the dark tomatoes had split from all the rain, that one is for my dinner tonight. Or a sandwich.
I eat the bad ones, give the nice ones away. Still have plenty left coming in to put away.

washed half the rv, glad I got that done. going to be a broiler today.
that's it for my outside activities, maybe do a little weeding later

also need to call some local truck dealers and see what they say about ordering a new truck.

Morning , 76 going up to 95 and sunny.
Did some errands and worked on bench project a bit.
Outside work too hot.

Chimney people scheduled for two weeks out to replace crown and re-point.
The Chimney is 14' x 3' and all this will cost us $3K
Still trying to get wife to decide on chimney caps......

Hope to get another sand/coat to top of bench today and prepare it for legs tomorrow and another coat of varnish.

Be well,

Mrs wanted to go on a weight loss program. So now we are on this program. It is day three and I am ready to eat the headrests out of the car 🤣😂
Gotta love it when one gets volunteer blind sided etc. into something that one has very little interest...another reason why they made drive thru. ;)

Yesterday was wife's yoga group at our house, so I was persona non grata. My knee asked me not to take it hiking, so ran a number of chores. Picked up that tractor oil filter I forgot on Tuesday...replaced my truck air filter while in "oh, oh, oh, O'Reilly's" parking lot (Amazon sent me the wrong filter, so just wanted to be sure)...Autozone didn't have it. Picked up some buckwheat and crimson clover seed at the Feed and Seed. Then walked the aisles at HD...browsing, smelling the sweet aroma of lumber, and picking up a few things on the list. Then a salad at Chick-fil-A for lunch and got home just as the ladies were leaving. Looked like gas had gone up 50 cents since last time I was in town.
That's what I call me day. (y)

good morning, 79 going to 94 today no rain

Today is more of the same with some trimming with the Makita. Some excavator work continuing cleaning up the boulders and rocks and filling with soil

Mostly, yes the sunflowers came up in the grass I guess from prior plantings with seeds left. Did not water or anything and dry as it is surprising they did this well.

Roasted a couple of peppers yesterday and today will peel them.

Our high was 92° yesterday, now 83°
Wasn’t our hottest of the year, but today might be. But it’s the end of July, so this is normal.
David, dog looked quite comfy.
My son drowns veggies in ketchup.
Buppies, take it easy in the heat.
Gas prices up here also.
Will work on wife’s pics today. What a mess. I back mine up constantly to computer and date and keep organized, she doesn’t do a thing. I have a directory on my computer where I downloaded everything. To preserve the picture date I can’t just do a windows copy to her phone. I did find the iPhone pic app will let you modify the date, but don’t want to do that for 1200 pics.
