Good morning!!!!

Drew, the price of fuel usually goes up overnight, but takes weeks to come down and not by much.

BEF, cats hate change. It will and probably does roam the house when the lights are off. It just isn't too sure of the people, other than your son.

Don, new flags always look good.

Just bought new Annin flag on amazon, made in US. Need to get it up for the 4th.
He keeps door closed at night so it doesn't get to roam. My wife and son have got to pet her. We are keeping our cats in basement for now, but we did try to socialize them together yesterday, but his cat hid under the bed. Ours just sniffed around at her carrier.

Good Morning Ken,
Did the router bit pull out on you because it wasn’t tight enough !

You could probably mill a slot across and splice a piece in that spot but you will need a piece that matches ! That can be tough ! Of course nothing like a thickness planer to make the job easier ! When I built the dining tables for my sons, I used 6- 7” wide boards to make up the 42” w top. I joined the edges and used biscuits just for alignment! Then I would glue just 2 boards together and then glued each 14” section together!

Best of luck with the patch !

68°F and .3 inches rain

Over 50 lbs of shredded cardboard so far. That’s just the 2 bags I weighed. A 3rd is started. And I still reserved a couple large pieces.

Need to make another dump run.

Will make a brewery run this afternoon. Need to replenish a keg for the 4th.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

All my roofs are metal. All but cottage are 3/12 or less, but still not a favorite place to be.

non metallic cable/Romex run though conduit
better make that conduit oversized if you can only fill it
up to 51 percent. And never outdoors.

this will have Popgadget out measuring his conduit fill percentage...

84F and sunny @ 14:00, and calling for a high of 84F for the day.

Got the last 8 Cherokee wax beans planted first thing yesterday.

The (newer) B&D battery-operated drill has taken a dump apparently. Seems like it might be the trigger switch ...

Spent most of the day though topping off the planting holes for the cabbage and broccoli and giving those plants a good watering. Got that almost done, just a few left to go.

Also swept the excess dirt on the fabric over to the edge.

Woman did more weeding and trimming on the strawberry plants.

I started to remove the chain-link fence on the indeterminate tomatoes on the vertical trellis. Will need another set of hands to finish that up.

Amazing how fast things grow. Seeing lots of tomatoes forming on the vines.

Checked the bag on the Japanese Beetle trap out front, not quite full.

Got the hopper feeder put back up and refilled, also scattered some seed for the ground feeders.

Agenda for today:

Schedule a couple of bills for payment.

Install Lock-N-Lube coupler on grease gun.

Grease the loader on the Kubota.

Finish up work on cabbage/brocolli.

Change out the bag on the front Japanese beetle trap, check the others.

Finish removing chain-link fence on indeterminate tomato plants.

Unpin the weedblock fabric on the east edge of the garden and get the dirt leveled out.

Plant the remaining green beans.

Been a good week for finding things. Woman found Her car keys after they were MIA for several days, I found my little flashlight I normally carry after losing track of it for better than week.

Hope everyone is having a decent Tuesday ...

got everything caught up outside, taking a break, then back out to see if I can push some mini US flags into the lawn.
It may be too hard. I broke a bunch of the last ones. I think I bought a batch of 100 or something years ago, plenty left.
maybe I'll drill the holes with the special long drill I bought to put in driveway marker stakes.
now I wonder how many of those tiny flags I have left.
have drill look out worms
