Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low of 61°, high only supposed to be 82°. Mostly cloudy, chance of showers, better chances of T-storms this evening. Hope so.....

So glad I struggled in the heat yesterday to finish the weed execution.... but glad it's done.

Today's agenda will be to build a border around the last few trees behind the shed. This includes an apple tree that has the biggest crop of apples that has happened since I planted it 20 years ago. I wonder if being on the drip irrigation and getting shielded from the wind by the new hobbyshack has anything to do with it......

Before the border gets done, I need to move some stuff that was stored there... a 350 gal water tank, my back blade, forks, and the cement mixer. Of course, I piled the 4x4's that will be used for the border in front of all the other stuff. i have to be strategic in where I move the stuff to.... I don't want to have to move it again unless I'm going to use it.... probably just over near the other stockpile of materials.

RNG, glad you got to see the launch. Pretty spectacular plume.

Drew, Jersey blueberries.... best in the world. Along with the Jersey Silver Queen corn.... Is that still the popular hybrid?

I miss all the farm stands... nothing out here like that... tough to grow just about anything without a tremendous amount of care / work.

Everyone have a great day!

Poking big needles near the spinal cord really requires you to not move around, and any of you who has ever
had a spinal tap know what that feels like. I'd rather be knocked out...
.

I was awake for my spinal tap, never felt a thing. They did use a local pain med, but I don’t remember what.

65° now, dew point 59° with high’s around 90° today. Maybe slight chance of some quick passing thunderstorms late afternoon.

When mowing yesterday put up quite a dust cloud lol. It’s to bad the rains couldn’t balance out around the country, it’s either feast or famine (to overstate the obvious).
Not much planned for today, finish mowing the front this morning, the rest of the day will be conserve energy time.

Neat seeing starlink launch I still need to get my wire permanently thru the wall and get the system connected to my house network. Still got router in garage, behind a steel door with cable going out under garage door.

I saw space shuttle launch once, from Orlando.

68°F and 0 rain

Interior mowing all caught up and looking good. Of course all that means is one could start all over again and the exterior areas await. Ahhh, job security

Need to make a PO run this morning.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

86F and partly cloudy @ 13:15, HI 87F. Heading up to a high of around 86F.

Bet we beat that.

Agenda for today:

Refill hopper feeder.

Set stakes for west boundary line for garden area and run a string line. Need to get out there and do that asap as Woman has already been out there weeding the irises (like a maniac) and cooking in the sun. She came in once to cool off and just went back out.

Finish up second 4' tall tomato cage and get one of the larger plants planted.

Cut another 5' length of the 4' tall chickenwire for a cage for the west pear tree. If I get that one made up and we get it installed, it will free up another 2' cage for a pepper plant.

Cut some more rebar stakes for cages. Still have one 20' length of rebar up in the shop I can use before I have to break out the rosebud and heat up all the bent pieces to straighten them out.

Shorten up the stake hoops for the dahlias and help her out with those.

Change out bag on Japanese Beetle trap.

Move the 9 Shasta Daisies around back so they get some sun.

Spray edge of flowerbed so it can be mulched.

Plus whatever else comes up.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe Tuesday ...

Good evening.... FINALLY got all the weed wacking done! Now I just have to stay on top of it. So much easier when the weeds are small. Some of the ones I was attacking had 1/2- 3/4" stalks. Tough SOB's.
I was procrastinating doing it, knowing the knee would be seriously complaining, which it is.

79° and low humidity and I’m wasting it with a kitty asleep on me. View attachment 753755
