Coffee is done brewing. 55° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 81° with scattered thunderstorms. Change of plans yesterday. Decided to put weed killer on fence line. Tires of taking string trimmer around all the poles. 4 gallons of vegetation killer put down. Did it using the Mule this time. Also did drive and walkways. Not sure what I will do later today. Can always work on Chicken Coop.
Thought these were Snap Dragons growing wild in the field. But not sure.

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly…).

62.2F going to low 80s, chance of afternoon t-storms.

yesterday was an early up-and-out, so we could get to Gatlinburg and find our favorite free parking spot on the street before anyone else got it. We were successful, which saved us $20 in paying for parking. We went to the Annual Bigfoot Convention, quite the interesting event.
Being as how we now live in Bigfoot country instead of urban decay, it would be a fun day.



this was the first time in a that we went to Gatlinburg “in-season” AND on a weekend (only once have we gone in-season before, and that was on a weekday), and we were reminded why we only go on weekdays in the off-season… what a madhouse!

Today after church will be the drive out to pick up Harry from boarding. We put him up with the trainer he went to back in May. We are going to book him into the second-level training program which will be in October.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

They never should have ended Shop Class — it should have been mandatory…
I was the only kid in the academic curriculum of our small high school that took shop all the way through senior year.
I really liked the teacher, started a love of working in wood. Wish I had learned more about metal back then.
Also wish I had taken Home Economics....did they call it that at your school? No boys took it, hope that has changed.

should be a really pretty day today. That lower humidity weather has worked its way South, should feel really nice today.
Have to do food shopping this morning, then home to wash the car. And likely pick more tomatoes.

the driveway scraper did not get as deep as it might have to rip out the grass in the center but I also didn't want the possibility of leaving a
swale of sorts I'd have to go rake. So I made a few passes, saw three or four inches of gravel bunching up in front, so it was leveling nicely.

I ordered a heavy duty rear sway bar for rv and some light duty front plastic/rubber jounce stoppers/springs. I'm hoping that will be enough, only thing left to do is add a steering stabilizer. Trying to reduce swaying and side to side motion. I added these parts to my first rv and what a difference so hope this will help. I'll know next time I'm on rt 81 with trucks going by. Was going to buy them from etrailer, but put the parts numbers into Amazon and saved fifteen percent. Installing the sway bar requires drilling a hole on each end for a bracket, so leaving that work up to the shop I've used before for tires.
