Quick stop to add completed garden pics. Need to buy more drip feeders for the plants as a few are plugged. Japanese maple is doing great also in it's new home. Hopefully new bush will grow as big as they say. Want to block the meters.

Morning all! 53 going to a perfect 70 today. We got much needed rain yesterday. Hopefully will get more soon. Busy week so far, Wife and I ripped out our front flower bed after 20 odd years of growth. Most of the flowers got rearranged after I roto tilled the soil and added compost. One large...

Thanks for the idea! That's what got me started in turning. I've made hundreds. Here's a few I kept for myself. The snowman one is not a kit. Totally made by me.

Morning all! Currently 58 going to a rainy 74. Woke up early with severe hand pain. Arthritis kicking in from working on the tractor yesterday! I went out to mount the bucket so I could turn the mulch pile out back. I noticed a stream of oil on the floor as I was leaving the garage! One of the...

Morning all! 61 going to 83. Been to hot to get anything done outside. Stayed in the house or played in the shop. Neck is doing better! Just need to be careful how quick I move. Today we will venture out and get some visiting done. Nothing much going on or planned. We do have a few meet ups for...

Morning all! 63 going to 87. Cooler mornings have me out in the yard weeding for a few hours each day. Managed to get the whole yard mowed Tuesday and yesterday. Had to shower after both days as the sweat was crazy! 25,000 miles on the truck so I backed it into the garage and gave it a service...

Morning all! 66 going to a rainy and humid 81. Will be working in my nice cool shop today. I finished pressure washing the garage on Thursday. Looks nice all completed! Need to find something I can spray on from the ground to help protect it. We spent Friday pulling weeds in and around the home...
