73F and sunny @ 10:45, heading up to around 86F for the day's high.
Ran soaker hose for 20 minutes on the row of indeterminate tomatoes on the vertical trellis first thing yesterday. Probably do that again today.
After that checked the gear oil in the front axle of the Kubota and it looked good. Then checked the hydraulic fluid and it was low so I topped it off.
Headed up to work on screening the rescreen pile. Got 2 bucketloads fed through the screen and then drip coming out of the right lift cylinder on the loader turned into a small but steady stream ...
Ok ... guess there's no putting that off any longer.
Fortunately, hot weather is due in and rebuilding it is something that can be done in the shop in the AC.
Decided to mow instead. Got the east side all mowed, then mowed some more over on the west side. West side all done except the area under the large oak trees where the grass doesn't grow much anyways.
Acorns have started to fall over there so I figured I avoid mashing them up and let the squirrels and the deer have at them.
Suet feeder refilled.
Trigger rod on live trap adjusted and re-baited, with any luck will have a customer this morning.
Got another gallon of glyphosate sprayed over on the east side of the house and along the driveway down here by the house.
Sprayer refilled.
Went out and picked tomatoes last night, got one nice cake as well.
Woman planning on making tomato puree today which will get frozen and eventually canned ... along with what is already in the freezer. Need to make room for the peppers.
Got all the baked-on peanut oil cleaned off the bottom of the turkey deep fryer late last night.
May have to use that for water-bath canning as it looks like it's the only thing big enough to take the 7 jar rack.
Can't for the life of me figure out what we used to use back in the day. Seem to be dimly recalled a large Graniteware pot ... maybe that was it.
Meds doled out for this coming week.
Unfortunately, I ended up staying up all night ... so probably a nap for me at some point this afternoon.
Hope everyone is having a decent Saturday ...
