So much to catch up on.
The tomatoes are doing well enough. I had planted 24, but 4 or 5 got mangled by kids/me/waterhoses etc. My wife makes the sauce such that, she can use it for spaghetti or just eat it like tomato soup. It is delicious. No worries about it lasting long in the freezer. The first 6 or 7 quarts vaporized into some people's stomachs.
LS, don't move here just yet....You just got your hobby shack done....And we are in drought too....We just got about .67 rain today. First rain in almost a month. I've been having to water the 'maters. Also, the berlin garden chicken wall, 6' tall is keeping the chickens out (if the kids shut the entry), but the darn squirrels are killing them faster than the chickens do. Also the grasshoppers are taking their portion. It's almost like Don's corn growing episode. You have to provide security for your garden. So far, 2 squirrels down, but middle daughter saw another in the garden this morning. The frustrating thing is, they eat the most ripened, prime tomatoes. Arggh.
Wifey is cooking down another 20 lbs of tomatoes right now, which will yield about 2 gallons. Sodamo, it won't last 2 weeks in freezer, with my wifey on her health kick. And we have another 20-30 lbs ready to process too.
Mostly, did you guys get much storm and rainfall? Rick, how about you?
PJS, hope this pup is a "win" for your wife's mindset. Pretty special you guys doing that. Glad you got through the storms OK. I will need new tires soon. Most of the wipeouts are due to inexperienced drivers on tires that have less than 20% tread left. I haven't been into our Academy yet. Guessing the ammo shelves will look similar.
Don, there was a writeup about yesterday's crazed man stabbing crap. Seems like the cops have all the i's dotted and tee's crossed. Perp was black. Cop was black. All caught on dash cam camera. Cop caught him in act on last victim.
My oldest daughter just used one of our garden grown pumpkins to make pumpkin bread. It is awesome.
RNG, hope the inspection turns out in your favor.
Eric, excavator trouble shooter.
Ron, glad you got the JD fixed, now the good looking bluebird will enjoy your good looking yard.
Drew- you keep getting well.
I had to stand up all day today, helping a technician work on our manual lathe. But still not fixed yet. There is a problem with the clutches dragging when in neutral. Not sure what. Going to order new clutch plates and thrust washers. Then I'm going to attempt to put it back together by myself....It will be a test for sure.
Prayers, and for Jay too.
