Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

70F and cloudy @ 12:30, heading up to around 74F for the day's high. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible (15% chance)

Shut off the AC last night, hopefully that's it for the year. Heading for the big cool down this Wednesday, high temp only supposed to reach 63F.

Refilled storage containers for the safflower and sunflower seeds first thing yesterday, then got hopper and two tube feeders refilled, also scattered cracked corn for the ground feeders.

Loaded up used cat litter and compostables in the dump cart, took compostables up to the pile and dumped them, then put some more screened compost in the cart for potting more runners.

When I got back down to the house I used the cat litter to fill in an old burrow entrance on the east side of the house that the ground hog recently dug out.

After that I started working on potting more strawberry runners. Got maybe another 25 - 30 done. Ran out of the aluminum chain link wire ties that I was using for pins.

Did some clean up of debris on the weed barrier fabric in preparation for melting more holes for strawberry plants.

Woman grabbed a Little Caesars pizza for dinner on Her way back from dropping off the neighbor at work and then made a peach pie for dessert ... which was delicious:

Overnight low was 61.2F, good open window sleeping weather.

Winds seem pretty calm today so may ignore the (slight) chance of rain and get back to spraying various areas.

Possibility of doing some watering/feeding so the Water Buffalo can be refilled.

Have some flowers that need planted as well.

Otherwise see what else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday ...

good morning, 69 going to 84 today. Got a small amount of rain last night

Got excused from jury duty due to care giver status. Is there not an age limit to jury duty?

will pick up branches with the tractor and see what else to get into now it is cooler

Have had a few outages of just a few seconds for some reason in the last few days

Age limit is 80 here. Believe you can still get the notice, just check the exemption.

So we are always in some Global catastrophe for the sake of headlines.

Good Afternoon Don, especially the Liberal news media !

Got excused from jury duty due to care giver status. Is there not an age limit to jury duty?

m7040, its 70 in Ct ! Although I got called last year at age 71, but got dismissed the night before !

No it won’t but I’m a sucker for flashy things 1970 Boss 302, Chevelle SS 396 1969, Nova SS 396, Cuda 426 plum crazy GTO 1969 Old 442. Old ideals die hard my wish list

Buppies, you forgot a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe !

It's a bit of a pain in the butt to serve on a jury. To me the worse pain is the selection process,
that is a boring drawnout tedious affair.

Lou, the whole process takes longer than my patience level !

They need to keep the criminals locked up.... not allowing them to go through the revolving doors like they do now.

LS, totally agree, but that doesnt seem to be happening any time soon unfortunately !

we have days of rain coming in
sure wish I could send some West

landlady just left, she brought me some peaches and I sent her home
with eggplants and peppers. She was happy

waiting for dealership to call me and tell me car is done.
interesting driving their loaner, same car, base model but rode better than mine because
it had 19 inch 235s on it instead of 20 inch 255s on mine.
did not have a heads up display. That I missed.
standard seats not as nice as mine, but still good.
what was hugely improved was nav/telematics.
2024 Volvo has switched to Google, and the screen resolution and detail was much improved.
Loaner has the smaller non supercharged engine also but ran fine, actually smoother than mine.

In Texas there is no age limit but you can use age 70 + as an exemption for jury service.

RS, those strawberries look great, I hope you can keep the deer out...I believe I can see them salivating in the back ground.

Very pleased with how the strawberries are doing and very surprised at quickly the runners seem to root.

The 16 I started a while back and recently transplanted into the ground had roots all over the bottom of the pots when I popped them out.

Also pretty happy with the monofilament fence - seems to be keeping the deer out - particularly since I added the 3rd line.

The big test will be when browse becomes scarce later in the year.

It was … and is …

I've been called close to half a dozen times, I've only served twice.
One time I was simply amazed at the complete lack of sense of many of the jurors and how hard it was to get them to read and UNDERSTAND what was said during the trial. They sat there in a daze and could not seem to comprehend what was said and shown. It had to be explained to them like 3 year olds.

That’s why they say “only a fool gets tried by a jury of his Peers”

David, use a small syringe to apply some 2 part clear epoxy under a stereoscope, maybe cyanoacrylate? I'll let the RC guys chime in.

Peach pie with homemade vanilla ice cream. Yumm.

New Mexico governor needs to get sued. Class action. against her, not the state. Take away her stuff.
