The best pad for easily removing bugs on vehicles is a 3M-Scotch Brite Dobie pad. It does not scratch the surface, paint or glass. We use them to wash dishes and then I save the old ones for vehicle bug removal.

I use dryer fabric sheets work great when wet to get the bugs off easy.

82F and generally cloudy @ 14:30, they were only calling for a high of 79F today. HI 83F, DP 60F, HU 54%, AQI 36.

Up very late today, Woman found some thriller series on Prime last night and we both got sucked in, binged the entire first season. Didn't hit the rack until after 03:30.

Got rest of pallet of mulch moved around back and unloaded yesterday, 7 bags.

Dropped forks after that and used the box blade to drag the driveway and fill in the channels were the heavy rain had eroded it.

Marked out 3 rows for holes on 1' spacing with marker paint. Too windy to run the weed burner torch to melt the holes at that point.

Woman had decided it was too wet to work in flower bed so She worked on weeding the east edge of garden and I gave her a hand with that.

She eventually got bored with that and we needed Half and Half so headed out to do a little grocery shopping.

I went up to the shop and got some 1/8" round stock (drops) and used that to stake up some peppers and eggplants that were leaning.

Woman fixed me a couple of BLT's for dinner, tried the squash dish ... was ok but would probably benefit from some Parmesan cheese in it.

After that the wind was easing up a little so I fired up the weed burner torch and started melting holes. Got all 3 rows done with the small adapter (2" diameter), probably around 150 holes. Last thing was to ride the rolling seat and pick up all the plastic bits.

Haven't seen any evidence that anything has been munching on plants in the garden but I did spot this pile of scat yesterday under one of the new rhubarb plants:

Not sure what it's from, probably just a little smaller than a baseball.

Seeing a good amount of butterflies on a regular basis now:

​

Agenda for the rest of the day:

Locate drill and a fresh battery + spade bit.

Get inoculant put on bean seeds and get those put planted in the ground.

Depending on how long that takes might try to get some of the holes melted for the strawberries if there's little to no wind.

Or get started on the mowing before it gets too far out of hand.

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday ...

Morning all, well actually afternoon;
The temperature outside today was kind of nice, upper 60's lower 70's so I went and did a little project I needed to get done.
Bought a camera and monitor for the tractors, 9" monitor and a wireless camera and a magnet mount battery pack for the camera. Install and view went good.
The view unloading yesterdays purchase from the truck bed,
nice to be able to see whats going on instead of relying on someone else to tell be up/down or curl back or dump.

More pictures over on the What did you do to your Branson thread.

Been wanting to do this for several years just never did spend the money to do it.

Hope all are having a good and safe Sunday,
stay well and enjoy.

Good Afternoon RedNeckGeek,
My pressure washer does the same thing and its only two years old, so my guess its nothing serious ! Possibly the govenor taking a breather !

It might be the unloader valve which regulates. Sometimes you can clean them if they develop some hard water deposits or corrosion in the bore.

Dryer sheets are the absolute best for cleaning the scum line off hot tubs. No chemical cleaner needed.

Freakin’ MAGIC.

Thomas, Last winter I never even got the snowblower out of the barn. I guess you are still expecting snow up there.
