Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

home sweet home
easy drive, no big traffic jams
thought I would have to mow when i got home but not tall enough
but there surely will be a pile of tomatoes waiting for me.
and one nice pattipan squash, my favorites because they
look like little space ships

Think I’ll wait till next week to give the grass a haircut.
Replaced a couple AirTag batteries.
Got .13” rain sometime last night.
Beautiful day out. Been sitting on porch enjoying the weather.
Talked to HVAC company about fixing the geo unit, they are sending a guy Monday to look at it. Actually one of our friends who work there. His wife is the one who we get to feed our cats when we are away.
Hummingbird flying right in front of me, then 2 others chased it away.

Scott_vt; I am 6'4" and 250 lbs. Junior is 6'1" and 220 lbs. We both sound the same on the phone and look more or less the same too. Long gray hair and beards. As for crooks, there are a lot of them in town, but there is easier pickins in town than out here.

I was going to cut the grass today, but I think it will wait until tomorrow when the wind is up a little better. 15 mph winds tomorrow only 5 mph today.
Most of the bugs cannot fly in the higher winds.

This is one of 4 cracked knots in an outside door. For those experienced in repairing wood, what product should be used to fill them in. Thanks.

I've had good success for many years with Durham's Rock Hard Water putty. No shrinking and easy to work with. It's a powder that is water activated. I've used it to fill woodpecker holes in cedar trim boards. It takes solid stain and paint.

Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can do the next day.

Yesterday's post that never got posted:

77F and cloudy @ 13:15, calling for a high of 79F with a 30% chance of showers. High yesterday was 86F ... cold front came in and cooled things down, humidity will drop this afternoon.

Woman was out watering first thing yesterday ... so of course that pretty much guaranteed that it would rain. Another fairly short deluge ... dumped 0.35" total.

Got bucket/grapple/toothbar rework finished up finally. Was going to deliver it but still had stuff in the van so that didn't fly so instead they came over just after noon and picked it up.

After I finished up the bucket etc. I did some "therapeutic" compost screening and got most of the compost/woodlot mowed.

Today:

81F and partly cloudy @ 14:45, that should be the high for the day.

Got hopper, both tube feeders, and one suet feeder refilled yesterday. Also scattered some seeds for the ground feeders.

Then went back to work on screening more compost, got the screened compost pile replenished to where it was at its largest point.

Used the debris that wouldn't pass through the screen to cover the weeds growing on the side of the unscreened pile.

Pile of unscreened material substantially reduced ... but there's still a lot there.

Lawn should be due to be mowed again but can probably hold off at least another day. Need to go have a look at it and see.

Winds are pretty low today and tomorrow so might be a good time to get more spraying done.

Hope everyone is having a decent Friday ...
