Thanks Drew

91 out and had to come in.
finished the pergola, mowed and trimmed the lawn,
watered all the flower pots, picked up the garage,
now in for lunch and a rest.

was able to pound the last stake in, wasn't too hard thanks to five inches of rain in last week.
one corner sitting on large rock underneath, no chance on that corner so put two very heavy concrete blocks
around it. Thanks Ken

actually have some brats I think I'll go grill for lunch.

67°F .44 inches rain

Good trip to town, took longer than anticipated.

Apparently the PCB in my pool vac is toast. Same error as when I started. Turn it on, says it is running, but isn’t, says not communicating, then quits. Replacement board ordered.

Hope to get started on a painting project day. Wx might affect.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Afternoon all;

According to the weather underground we are at 91 also, my indicator is only reading 88 in the shade.
Had to come in and cool of a bit, grab a bit to eat and shower and change to go up for my daily radiation dose. Was going to mow lawn this morning, fired up the mower got about 40 feet mowing along side a blue tarp over some building material stored outside got a silver too close grabbed that tarp and chewed a bunch up and wound the rest of it up around the spindles and blades.
So dropped the deck off brought the tractor over to lift the deck up to a nice working height, pulled the blades and got all the tarp strand out from the spindles. Looked at the blades and they were surprisingly good so just throw them back on, greased the deck good.
Tomorrow morning I'll put the deck back on see what happens.
An ol fat boy doesn't do good in high heat and high humidity, it sure was good to climb into the Branson that I had left running while it was holding up the mower deck, the air coming out the duct work was 45 degrees.

Stay safe and get well all

Dennis glad progress on deck. Hope Lowe's run successful.

The guy that checked me out at Lowes looks like he could have been MS13, covered in face tattoos. So unappealing and a sharp contrast to the young kid that checked me out last week. looked like he gave a discount to the female ahead, that he acted like he knew. I never saw her pay. I just checked my receipt to make sure i didn't pay for it....

Too hot for deck work today. Had good breakfast meeting, will mow later.

Lou, the ole suck up a tarp with the mower trick, seems I just did that lately....

Made a Costco run after the breakfast meeting. Quickly reminded me why I like shopping Sams Club now, but couldn't find a couple things there. Did buy a couple things that were on sale.

Got 6 yellow straight neck, 5 zucchini, and 2 straight 8 cukes in the ground before I felt the putter-patter of raindrops.

Didn’t last long but I came on around to front to roll up The Woman’s car windows for Her and then came inside for a little snack.

Woman made Her Mac salad so that’s what it is.

BLT’s for dinner tonight.

Going get those tube feeders filled and see if I can’t get the west side mowed in between the raindrops.

interesting live map of Canada smoke:

Smoke Forecast - FireSmoke.ca

 

[buckeyefarmer]

The smoke cover sure made it more bearable mowing today, wasn't all that bad. Got it all mowed to the creek, 8th time this year. Need the other side of creek mowed, the Jap stilt grass is growing fast over there. There's another dead cherry tree that blew down, and a bunch more sticks. Problem is can't see the sticks when the grass gets so thick.

 

[rswyan]

Hopper and tube feeder filled, also scattered some seeds for the ground feeders.

West side mowing completed.

Got a couple more straight 8 cukes in the ground before the rain started up again. Still 2 more to do.

Bacon all cooked up.

Flat of the largest tomato plants moved outside from the greenhouse in the dining room.

Lodge cast iron bacon press ordered from Amazon.

Woman at the grocery store picking up lettuce, tomatoes, hopefully some of that good Vienna bread and a few other items.

Probably repot some of tomato seedlings after dinner.

nice to sit at end of day, in the shade, needed a cup of coffee to keep moving,
another 5000+ step day in the heat.
you'd think I'd get skinny but I nixed that with the cherry pie I bought.
last week I tried a peach pie and it was so sweet and gummy I threw the rest in the trash.
but the cherry pie is almost tart and a winner.
I'm a sucker for sour cherry pie
