Good Morning.
74 on its way to 90, partly cloudy and dry.

Yesterday started with cleaning up and getting the new computer up to speed. Well actually it’s up to speed, just doesn’t do everything I need it to yet. Mostly loading software and drivers, and the old favorite, trying to remember user names and passwords.

Got a little RC flying in before I had to start preparing dinner, which went well. Ate too much, sent lots of food home with the kids.

Today will start with a speaker repair for a musician on tour. He is coming from NYC area and needs a solution. After that I’m not sure what I’ll get into, but there is always something that comes up.
Lack of rain has slowed the mowing down, Wife mentioned taking grandson to local polish festival.

77 here going to 100+ with heat index approaching 107+. Overcast but they're saying no rain. It's so humid right now, it looks a little foggy out.

I'll go out and affix the new registration sticker on the windshield but after that, I'm staying indoors with the AC.

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly)…

Running late, we need to get to woodlot to beat the heat and be productive, will check back later on - have a happy healthy safe blessed day!

for all you lima bean lovers
behind my friend's house in DE
hard to find Fordhooks, the bigger limas
these are smaller ones
Fordhook limas were actually bred not far from here.
maybe that's why my father liked them so much growing up
we ate a lot of lima beans

my partner in the insurance/real estate business in my little town had a favorite lunch when he got home.
Just boiled lima beans on white Wonder Bread. A lima bean sandwich. He was skinny as a rail, smoked two packs a day, drank
six cups of coffee with two sugars in each a day, and is still here. Nursing home, but still here.
I needed butter and seasoning on mine.
gosh, at least put them on good bread...

successful morning so far.
fixed my tail light, who knows for how long.
and a hail mary idea I had with my old living room plant table
turned out to work. Arm rest on rv so tight to body my arm doesn't fit on it.
I need a bigger arm rest. So....going to layer some soft towels on this, maybe a beach
towel with some pretty colors, and have a soft comfy extra full size arm rest.
which I can easily take outside and use while on the road.

Already 78F and sunny @ 10:30, supposed to be heading up to around 87F for the day's high. HI 79F, DP 69F, HU 69%, AQI 34.

Got cleaned up and made the run down to Menards and picked up fertilizer order, also picked up a 2-pak of small portable 1000 lumen work lights which seemed stupid cheap ($4.99)

Worked on strawberries after I got back, weeding, watering, and trimming/pinning/potting more runners to root. Think I have about half of them weeded and watered, the count of pinned and potted runners is up to 63. Almost have all the netting removed. Will do some more work on that today before it gets too hot.

Woman spent most of the day at the yard sale, did more watering and picked some tomatoes when She got home.

In addition to two nice outside chairs She picked up for the "plant room", She also snagged me a nice height-adjustable rolling chair for up in the shop.

Did not get feeders filled yesterday so will try and get to that at some point today.

Trash/recycle day tomorrow ... so will have to haul those up to the cans at the road.

Once it gets really warm out there today, will probably mow down here around the house.

Hope everyone is having a good Monday ... (y)

Good morning! Low of 58°, heading to 86°. The highs keep going above the forecast.... yesterday was forecast to be 86° --- not.... hit 92°. The past few days have been like that.

Scott, I just imagine being out on a lake like that. Precious time with the family. Beautiful area!

Drew, my mom was a big lima bean eater, she made them constantly..... maybe that's why I can't stand them now....

RNG, your plan for unloading sounds great! much more manageable that way.

Buppies, sorry you had to head back home. Prayers sent for the Mrs.

Yesterday's agenda will continue over-flow today.... I was able to get the "receiving" hole dug. After filling with water twice, letting it soak in. That dirt was hard! Probably because it was driven on for about 10 years, with the water trailer.
Today, digging up the shrub is the main event. At least I know the ground will be soft.... but will have to deal with roots.....

This manual digging seems to have gotten much harder than I remember.... I guess the bad knee doesn't help, but I believe I got very spoiled having a backhoe. Unfortunately, can't get it into the area for this project.

Not sure what we are going to do for dinner.... but it will either involve the grill or the smoker. Made breakfast burritos for dinner last night. They were good.

Time to go labor with that shrub --- it's Labor Day afterall.....

Nice quiet day so far. Fix8ng to make buttermilk pancakes and breakfast sausage for brunch.

Then packing in prep for our move to the property.

Got some ribeye steaks marinating. Gonna do corn on the cob and baked taters for dinner with it tonight.

Supposed to get some thunder storms through this evening.

Worked out on the property this weekend.

Expecting a semi quiet day at the house.
