Good morning!!!!

[Frankenkubota]

Morning all, cloudy/smoky here?
Got plantings done, we will see if any squirrels left to dig them up.

Alien- hope the steel comes in sooner- seems everyone is waiting for supplies
Phil-how big was that hole that it took out the brackets?
Franken- new fountain. Hope you can get that shutdown before you have a new pond!

Stay safe and be well,

thx

i had put a 2 inch 1/4 turn shutoff valve below everything so it's off now. i was a little disappointed with one of the pvc fittings buried about 1/2 way down a 2600 ft run.

About 1 month ago i had a 2 inch right angle pvc fitting fail, just a hairline crack in the outside radius but under 125 psi it was like a fire hose.

Ok Kyle, you got me. Soon found a favorite sushi place in town after we moved and I made it a point to try every sushi on the menu, around 35 as I recall. None were cooked. So what is a cooked sushi roll?

Sadly, this is one of our places still not recovered from pandemic.

It had cooked tempura shrimp, crab, avocado, cream cheese, jalapeno, and covered with the spicy mayo and eel sauce. Really good. There were 3 middle aged or older Japanese men preparing the food.

Nice work on your new quarters.

71 going to 79...no rain, just a sprinkle. More promised later, but the weather forecasts are frequently missing the target.

Buppies, glad you got a good rain.

BEF, glad you got that tree moved. Sorry you can't use all of the firewood.

Washed 16 more windows yesterday, and scrubbed the white trim on the north side of the barn...algae really liked this summer. Got things looking good for my wife's yoga group today and then others for the weekend.

I'd go for that right now.

I completed my 1,000th coffee roast this weekend

Wng, thought about your coffee roasting when I was by the big pond the other day.
From a distance part of it looked like a rich dark roast with cream floating on top, except when I got closer ...

The "cream" topping was actually goose feathers.
Unfortunately the rich dark brown colouring also came out of a goose (probably many many dozens of geese). Poking it with a stick proved it was not at all like coffee and definitely not something you would want to wake up and smell !

Kyle-being lactose intolerant I hate when Sushi places use cream cheese.
I never saw this in Japan and it seemed to start in Philly.
The rest sounds really good though.

I simply cannot imagine that eel sauce tastes good

Good Morning! The cold front finally pushed the heat out. 59˚F heading to the 80 with clear sunny skies.

I emptied the compost bin into Whippers baby swimming pool and it is drying out. It should not have got wet over a month ago but the water comes in by the lid. I 'll take a couple of buckets to the garden and also use some with peat moss and pearlite to energize the potted plants around the house.

Wngsprd, That is a lot of roasted beans.

Frankenkubota, you may need glasses or new glasses.

kenmbz, a homemade non-dairy sour cream is easy to make (but not easy to find in a restaurant). Soak a cup of raw cashews, after they are soft add 1tbsp lemon juice, 1//2 to 3/4 cup water, 1 1/2 tbs apple cider vinegar, 1/4 tsp salt. In a bullet blender blend till smooth.

I agree with you Drew on the eel sauce, Eric's pond water would probably tase better.

55°F and clear skies this morning, only going up to 72° today. We may be down in the mid-40s tonight. Autumn arrived a few hours early this year.

Rained here most of the day yesterday, mostly just light stuff. Was still drizzling a bit when I went to bed. All that stuff is headed towards you guys out east.

We've been see a lot of giant mushrooms at our place, too, BEF.

The eels love it!
