Thomas, the ticks are the worst I can remember this year. Deer ticks (Lyme), Lone Star ticks (Alpha-gal), Dog ticks (Rocky Mtn Spotted Fever, Tularemia), and I read about a new one that's here, but haven't seen it. I've had numerous bites. I feel like I need the Frontline medicine on my neck in addition to Della.
:oops: dang...thought we had it bad not so.

Good morning TBN!!
70 this morning going up to 90. Still no rain in the gauge but better chance today.

Yesterday we went and ran a couple of errands the looked for garage sales. Must be too hot because there were very slim pickens.
Came back home and I jumped on the tractor only to find halfway down the drive I had a flat front. Backed it back up to the garage to fill, but the valve stem disappeared inside the tire. I put air in it a week or so ago and it slow leaked.
Is it common practice to tube the front tires? I put the tires on new through my dealer but never thought or asked if it was tubed.
Anyway that's on todays agenda.
Not much else.

Time for a second cup.
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

Ticks here are really bad as well pulled 11 seed ticks off me so far. I do not remember it being this bad.

Grass needs mowed but no nurse today so limited as to what I can do

Prayers for all our Country

Morning all, 81 going to 88 and sunny. Some rain last night
Got a lot of small stuff done yesterday, picked up pool salt and stabilizer, cleaned up and refilled the fire pit and wood pile. Starting cleaning out the trampoline.
Dog walk at peddlars village, dinner out.
Amazing how a little cleanup ends up being 4 hours of work.

Saw lots of Capybaras in Central america. Never had them on the dinner plate like the locals do.

Today, put oil on the acacia table and work on the driveways swale to get better water flow.

Garbage can knocked over again, played pickup trash, guess we have raccoon at play.

Sorry for your loss Drew, your commitment and visits I am sure helped. Good on you.

Hope you can find a nurse soon Buppies.

M7040 a drive with the mrs and she is feeling better, thats a good day.

Be well,

Still cleaning up more stuff from the last storms. Here is another Maple that is dropping branches. Of course I just noticed the main trunk has poison ivy, will need to deal with that.

I went to investigate the same rear rv tire looking low and the tpms sensor was gone.
as was the inner tire extension. Took off the hubcap, end of extension ripped off and sensor gone.
that would explain the flat...
means jacking up the rv to get the outer rim off and that I will delegate to the gas station. I need a new air
extension anyway. Straight one broke so I replaced it with a flexible one. Now that broke. ? I think it's the weight of the tpms
sensor creating issues

mounted new weather station sender outside onto post of pergola, put screen for it on my office desk.
was not able to aim it correctly so I might have to rethink the mount. Wants to be on a post away from everything.
I'm blocked from at least one direction now, but I really don't care about wind from the East, not a big issue usually.

76F and partly cloudy @ 10:45, heading up to around 88F for the day's high with a mix of sun and clouds. Winds light and variable. DP 69F, HU 80%,"feels like" temp 77F.

Even though it was cooler yesterday it was still miserable out there due to the sun and humidity.

Rain we got yesterday morning didn’t amount to much … probably less than 1/8”. Nothing materialized after that.

Topped up gear oil in Kubota front axle and then spent a good part of the day bringing down wood chips to mulch the area between the strawberries and the flower bed.

Hauled down 20 bucketloads ... almost complete, will try to get that finished up today before it gets too hot out there.

Tried to confine most of the hauling when there was at least partial cloud cover. Took a break when there wasn't and gave The Woman a hand, working in the basement ... which felt like being in an icebox in comparison.

Removed some spilled oil-based paint off off floor tile and got residue from that cleaned up with some mineral spirits.

Loaded up the dump cart with some items to go up to the garage, trash to go up to the cans at the road, and junk to go up to the burn pile. Got all that delivered and unloaded.

Refilled the two suet feeders.

Sprayed the primed t post with a topcoat of Hunter Green Rust-oleum Industrial enamel.

Sprayed both sides of the frog pond with glyphosate, about 1 1/2 gallons applied.

Woman ran over to the Mexican place in Barberton to pick up chow, we split an order of Cazuelada, Mexican rice and refrieds for dinner.

Threaded some more tomatoes into the straight trellis after dinner, managed to break off the leader on one of the Trip L Crops by being careless which pizzed me off.

On agenda for today:

Water in the sweet potato seed jars still needs changed.

Refill hopper and both tube feeders.

Refill both glyphosate sprayers.

Do some spraying in shady areas.

Hang remote sensor for Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer.

Finish up wood chip hauling.

Grass in front - which was looking long yesterday - still needs mowed.

Maybe some work down in the basement to cool off.

Woman commented this morning: "No groundhogs ..."

HA !

Hope everyone is having a decent Sunday.
