[kenmbz]

well, coming home from dropping off the kid last night, right front pads get stuck on. barely made it home, had to have someone else pick them up.
some parts and labor and drive able for the trip for sons concert.

My lat last night and this morning:

Off to Bensalem, PA.
Dog seems a little better today. cleaning up her stuff while doing everything else. Gave her sugar water last night and today and she is perking up. May give her some food when we get back from concert.

68F and "Fair" @ 12:00, heading up to around 75F for the day's high. Promises to be a beautiful day.

Got all the rest of the strawberry plants potted last night, ordered 20, think they actually sent us around 23 of that particular variety.

Also planted 20 green bell pepper seeds in pots.

Today all those will get moved around back where they will get more sun, maybe along with the cukes and squash ... if there's enough room on the table I plan on sitting them on.

Did not get much cleaning done.

Woman wants to get her Dahlia's planted in the grow bags so I'll go up and grab a bucket load of screened compost and bring it down and partially dump it into the dump cart where peat moss can be mixed into it. Rinse and repeat as Ted says.

Beyond that, plan to run down to Harbor Freight and pick up a small sprayer they have on sale. Easier/quicker to do that than clean up/fix the one I was using.

It's currently loaded with Roundup solution which needs drained and strained as the pick up tube was clogging, and then the entire sprayer needs cleaned and thoroughly flushed out.

After that probably get to spraying the garden area.

Plus whatever else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday ...

67°F and .22 inches rain.

More pw today. So why is this taking so long? First pass I hit with the foam cannon, my Dawn/ bleach mixture. This is my quickest pass, ensuring I do get good coverage. I do let it sit a bit, a chance to loosen things up. Then a second pass with the foam cannon. This time I usually see some action, some sloughing off of surface dirt. Again I let it sit a bit, but not enough to dry. Then comes the turbo nozzle. Much more intense, but as anyone who has used one knows, not a great coverage area, need to overlap passes. Some areas like the windows, screens, the wood structure require multiple passes to be thorough. Then I have to be sure there are no holidays. The wand extensions make the high areas particularly enjoyable.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

while I was engrossed in the extraction, Mrs2@# over my the gate, watching progress, when the neighbor stopped by, so we finally got to meet him.
…

Nice he stopped to talk. When the young man was checking up on me, he wouldn’t even look my way for me to even wave to him. I was hoping he’d stop for a chat.
I’m sure you are doing well for 5 days.

Jay, glad you got solar working again.

Ken- I am happy to read that your dog is doing a little better. My + thoughts for a full recovery.

Dennis- Thanks. I could not believe the electric bill We got the last 2 billing periods.

Another skirmish in the "Suet Cake Wars." I might be going through 3 cakes today.

For pulling fuses they make insulated pliers that work very well;

We went for a ride that wife was giving directions for on obscure roads one county over. Lots of single lane bridges, pretty country side and farm barns. Do not think we met more than couple of cars. Very peaceful drive. Took a few pics to share including this farmers tractors. He obviously has no brand loyalty.
