Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Sorry about Bella Roy, hope for the best outcome.

I'm at the doctor, getting my situation documented. I told nurse my shoulder/elbow/wrist pain was at a 2 or 3. Hope it goes away. I feel like my upper body has a continuous buzz or hum. My memory is bad right now. Having to write things down.

Thanks for the prayers and advice. Eric, yes. Thankful to be upright. Car is at body shop... waiting for estimate.

Bupps, I wish the general public would be a bear at getting taxed.

Prayers for our team and nation.

L4N, put a little used antifreeze in your pressure washer pump before you store it.

Have you considered moving to Florida to Jimmy Buffet land, Mix up some pina coladas and don't worry about anything.

Good morning! 65˚F heading to the 80s, dark clouds, 80% chance of rain. FireWise has been called off.

Yesterday started off bad when the dentist got the pliers to pull off the temporary crown, but ended up ok after winning 4out of 5 games of hand and foot and the new crown feels normal.

On and off rain for the last 4 days and for the rest of the week. we are at 1.2" total for this week long event.

After it dries next week, I'll start digging potatoes. I'll see which of the 4 varieties of potatoes planted did best in this alkaline soil that I have no experience in gardening.

Randy your Texas white rock gardens look familiar. Most beds in the neighborhood, including mine, are laid out the same with a rock boarder, landscape fabric and rocks. The rock beds in my yard are small black rocks in two and and river rocks in 3 beds. The white rocks you have are used a lot for road base around here, but they are not as pretty and washed white as yours are. There is a large backhoe bucket that crushes the larger rocks small right in the bucket to use on the coarse rock base.

RS, I saw a U-Tube on a cart like you have and how it shifts from forward to reverse by turning the engine off moving the points and then re-starting and running the engine in reverse. -All with one lever motion.

These last two beds I did have a mix of 1/2” and 3/4” because they didn’t have enough of either to get four tons. I didn’t care, you can’t tell the difference walking past them and our other two gardens. I like the Texas Whitestone because of the brightness and it matches well with the clam shell driveway.

best wishes for Bella Roy.

veggie plants showed up, nicely boxed in plastic clamshells and I got the six tomatoes and three sweet pepper plants planted.
That gives me ten tomatoes in all, plenty for me.
Put down some Espoma fertilizer, watered it all and now just going to watch it grow.

Took the machete to the poison ivy vine. Sunday this one was a surprise while weed wacking.

I try to cut with loppers if vine is small enough, or pole saw very extended. I’ve used axe before, but sometimes when you cut the vine it squirts sap, don’t know if you can catch the poison from that. Poison ivy is real bad on the treeline next to the road on my one side.

43 this morning, but that looks like the last of the real cool mornings until fall. 78 later and mostly 80’s and 90’s for the next couple of weeks.

We reinforced a shelf this morning, in the pantry, that wanted to sag a bit. Changed out and washed the litter boxes. If Ellen takes off another week I’m going to need a vacation.

Friends coming for dinner tonight, some special meatloaf recipe, I have to make my Mac and cheese.

Went to Mission BBQ last night, not as good as my first experience. Pulled chicken was dry, beans were good.

Not sure what else is on the list, but I might hide the list.

Have a good day folks.

Thanks BEF, these vines are about 1" with some smaller offshoots. Seem to embed themsleves into the bark so can't get loppers around them. But machete works great and is long enough I don't get too close.
When I hit it with the weed wacker, that was just not seeing the vine was there and first set of leaves was around the far side a few feet up. Still see the marks on my face, but the technu spray seems to be working to stop me from being a mess.

Roy, hope this issue with Bella is short term and the pain pills work.

Today will clean out the pool area with the blower, supposed to be opened tomorrow.
