Good morning Rene and welcome to GM.

Good Morning
75f at 8 am going to be mid 90s today. No rain today and if it stays dry another day I will cut most of the grass. Only about a acre rest of the 15 is woods.
Small garden about finished, cucumbers still growing. Tomatoes about to pulled up or tilled under.

59F and sunny @ 08:45, headed up to a high of 78F for the day.

Graded drive up to gas well yesterday and filled in a really bad rut which was around 10" deep. Also pushed a fallen tree off the drive as well.

Hauled three bucketloads of wood chips at the one neighbor's request over to the other neighbor's pasture and dumped them where the cattle are making a wallow.

After that I worked on hauling more dirt down to the south side of pole barn filling in that area, compacting the dirt and grading it out. Have a lot of clean up to do around the barn.

Happy to report that after rebuilding the second curl cylinder the floppiness in the bucket when carrying a load has disappeared ... (y)

Gathered up the pulled weeds from in the garden, along with some more leaves and debris from southwest corner of house and took those up to the compost pile and buried them.

The Woman fixed BLT's for dinner yesterday with the bacon we got from the neighbor, I had three. We both agreed that the bacon was excellent, best we've had in a long time.

Up early enough today that I might just get the Weed-N-Feed put down on the lower front if the grass is still wet enough when I get out there in a few minutes.

Hopper feeder needs refilled, didn't get to that yesterday.

Also didn't get the fish fed either, so will have to do that later.

Beyond those items, the Menards order still needs picked up ... but with the nice weather I probably won't do that until late in the day.

Many other things on the list, too numerous to mention.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... (y)

RS, you are the busiest guy I know, do you make lists for yourself?

I hope PJS is doing ok and that SIL is making a good effort to be productive.

Yes I was with the dept. in Port Sulphur, La, gave up being active in 2005. Was all volunteer then, now there are paid firefighters there 24-7, but only 2 at the main station and 1 at the sub. so they still depend on the vol. members. Still a board member in social part. Life member with LSFA.
We are well over on the rain this year and where I live now I do not have a problem with water. I still have property that will and has been damaged by hurricanes, I could and should sell that.

70°F and heavy fog this morning, going up to 91° today.

Need to decide if I'm going to brave the heat and humidity after work tonight and tomorrow night to get the grass mowed, or wait until the weekend. Low 90s today and tomorrow, and mid- to upper 90s for the weekend. Just can't always motivate myself to do it after working in a hot welding shop all day, but I certainly don't look forward to even hotter days. I guess I'll decide that when I get home this evening.

Stayed up way too late in the studio last night. I don't hate spending the time, but it always makes for a long day after.

Lots of nice pictures today.

We learned long ago not to expect productivity from him. He's the type of guy who will work harder to not have to work on something he doesn't want to do. It is what it is. On the bright side, he's not been home much, which at least for now is keeping The Wife's stress levels to a minimum.

We're fine, though, Drew. Thanks for thinking of us.

LOL ... I used to make lots of them, very detailed.

Found out that generally it took too much time ... so I've sworn off ... at least to some extent.

These days I mostly just work on whatever pops into my head and seems realistic, given the current weather.

Not like there's any shortage of things to do.

Hope your brother enjoys his cigars ... ;)

Good morning all, 64 and sunny.
Will be away for a bit.

RS - your list alone makes me tired :)

Back to the day job.

Stay safe and be well

68°F and .95 inches rain.

Meeting/intro with the caretaker candidate went very well. Could be a good initial, short term fit. Have to see how next couple of months play out on both sides. I still have to complete the unit and circumstances can always change, but for now, encouraging.

Back into mudding this morning.

H&F this afternoon. Sophie is making stuffed cabbage, but with a turkey/chicken stuffing. Looking forward to it.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
