Good Morning,

I just can’t understand the hypocrisy of vegans

GM David, I won’t quote the Bible but I did find your post amusing

The blades got damaged again when I forgot to use the hydraulic lift for the deck to get over some rocks

GM Frits, hopefully not too much damage

Good Morning,
Ct, 64 to start going to 82 with mostly cloudy skies at the moment.

Today is the last swim lesson for the kiddos. School starts this Thursday for the boys. They go to kindergarten this year. A long day for those kids, something like 8 am to 4 pm drop off time.

Going back up into the garage attic this morning for more clean out
The dump is closed on mondays but I can load the truck tomorrow. We haven’t looked at this stuff in years so I’m guessing we probably don’t need it.

Hope all have a great start to their week.

69 going to 83...fog has finally burned off and lower humidity is expected.

Mostly, I think I'd rather be hiking where only bears, rattlesnakes and ticks are the danger, rather than gravel and dog bites. Glad you had such a long ride with no other problems, other than heat.

Buppies, FWT' idea about electrolyte powders to mix in water is a good one...but some have a good bit of sugar, such as Liquid IV...I think one without any sugar that is supposed to taste good is LMNT (it has stevia in all its flavors except the one called Raw Unflavored, which will taste salty. Not sure if you are okay with stevia). A couple of AT you-tubers I trust are sponsored by LMNT and offer a code for a free multi-flavor sample pack with an order...let me know if you want the code and I'll go watch one. Re-Lyte is another reco'd brand. We have some of the Liquid IV that my wife picked up at Costco that she has used on occasion and likes.

I spent a couple hours yesterday afternoon with prep and power washing an old wooden swing we bought at Yoder's many years ago...it hangs under a huge maple tree on a timber swingset frame I built for the kids 35 years ago...it was covered in algae, moss and lichens, and needless to say my wife wouldn't go near it.

I used my FEL bucket to lift it and move it over to a sunny spot and place on sawhorses to wash it...wondering how it would look under its green covering...turns out it is beautiful again, in great shape, and once dry, and re-hung, my wife, me and Della all went swinging together. A win!

Today would have been a nice day to hike.
Took fuel injection rail off the ranger, no fuel spray when I try to start. Pulled injectors, sprayed with carb cleaner. Reinstalled, no start, but battery now low. Got charger on battery,
Ordered Chinese set of injectors to try
Smoky laying on my lap. Beautiful day, nice breeze. Too nice out to scan slides.
Wife picked bunch of green beans and more tomatoes.

'morning all. Recovering from detached retina surgery, 5 days out. Doing okay, I guess. Had to keep head down, to let gas bubble keep pressure on the laser repairs. Cleared to drive today, but not going anywhere, may have to mow. 48 degrees this morning, 64 in the house, ran the furnace (yeah, I'm getting soft...). Dr f/up visit for Wed.

Good job on making it through keeping the head down for 5 days, not easy to do
The next phase involves restrictions on lifting anything heavier than a few pounds. That is where I thought it would be safe to lift again after a few weeks
And that broke it up again requiring second surgery

Good morning TBN!!
Glorious 60 degree morning . High should be about 80 and finally the humidity is breaking.

Busy weekend. Started with some help with concrete pour on Sat. Calling the bridge finished. At least for now. Didn't get any rain and the river went down pretty quickly for a change.
Wife only ordered 5 yards but it did the "business" side quite well. Visited for a while then every one left except my son and grandson. We ended up lust playing the rest of the weekend. Son left this morning to catch a flight back home in Fla.
Kinda bittersweet. First time he's been home since oldest son died.
Couple of pics

That's me on the bottom. Son on top in the middle and GS right behind him.

Got the problem areas fixed and will fill some here and there later. FEMA money running out.
I'm happy though. Been a long project on my own.
Agenda today is RELAX.
More grands and there parents this week end. They sure keep me busy sometimes.
Week is supposed to be great with just a hint of fall.

Already had my second cup.
Everybody have a great and safe day!!

71.6F and partly cloudy @ 12:00, heading up to around … 70F ???



Chance of rain this afternoon with lake effect showers and thunderstorms developing.

Yesterday ended up being a big watering day.

First up were the 6 pumpkins in back which got 2 gallons each.

Then did the 10 arbs with 2 gallons each.

Next up were the 3 winter squash plants at the southwest corner of the house, 2 gallons each.

Then headed out to the little peach tree and gave it 6 gallons.

Finally, the Japanese ornamental got 4 gallons and the Buffalo was empty.

Woman came out around that time, noticed bag worms on one of the burning bushes.

Headed around back to refill the Buffalo and hooked The Woman up with the insecticide sprayer with Sevin in it for the bag worms.

Took water out of the partially refilled Buffalo and gave all the tomato plants in grow bags which were drooping 32 oz each.

Woman picked another ripe tomato and a couple of green beans (the first this year) I picked a couple yellow squash, 3 more okra, and some more green beans I spotted while weeding.

Got Buffalo fully refilled and headed around front to pump up the tires one of which was obviously low.

Got that done and topped off the transmission fluid in The Woman’s car with the fluid She had ran out and gotten earlier.

Then headed off to the front for more watering.

Gave Japanese ornamental another 4 gallons for a total of 8.

Red maple, ginkgo and largest Rose of Sharon all got 10 gallons each I believe.

Smaller Rose of Sharon’s got 3 gallons each.

Was about a gallon left, threw that on the small peach tree and took the Buffalo around back to be refilled.

Checked the bag worms on the way, they were no longer moving …

Hooked up the soaker hose for the pole beans and the west side of the arched trellis and gave it 30 minutes at medium flow.

Big crowd out there last night, probably 25 - 30 individuals between the bats and the swallows.

Noticed a scratchy throat late yesterday afternoon … so Woman apparently has managed to share whatever creeping crud She came down with, with me …

Not sure what all I’ll get to today.

Need to dole out meds.

Tomorrow is trash day so there’s that.

Probably work on getting that yellow squash and okra bagged and put in the freezer.

Maybe get the Buffalo refilled when I go down to get the Cub and the dump cart for the trash. Still need to water the trees up along the road.

Hope everyone is having a decent Monday …
