Good morning! 76˚ heading to 100+.
Whipper's head is back to normal she is either recovering faster because she has a resistance to the bite from the 5 other times she was bitten or the snake did not inject to much venom.

I might try to finish up tractor mowing at Dad's today.

Lenny, At least she is bring her nanny, that was very thoughtful of her.

66 and raining. Going to 82 and rain. Got another inch yesterday. We had double the normal rain in May, June, and July. August off to similar start.

Ed, I'll share my coffee experience with you until you can return to the world of morning pleasure. I'm having my first mug - a Sumatra Mandheling roast...very full body and smooth with a bit of cocoa taste.

Billy, do you have an online source for your good coffee? Or just a local store?
do you roast your own coffee and what kind of roaster?
I can smell that Sumatra coffee from here, wind is blowing this way...;)

I guess they live in harmony.

My cousin's big old dog, a mutt that weighed about 80 lbs, was bitten on the neck by a cottonmouth, he died after a couple of days, even with vet treatment. I've had dogs and even a cat bitten by snakes and survived just fine after a few days of swelling and laying around.

Am waiting for a call back on my car to get it in for a new headliner install. Mine is flopping down, apparently heat bakes and decomposes the foam cushion underneath, a real mess.
First estimate was $650. And the guy didn't return two phone calls. Next guy who my mechanic recommended said max of 250.
Why so different I asked. The guy smiled and said "because you drive a Jaguar." The implication being he was honest and the other guy...well.
Frankly, it's a lot of work. They have to remove the entire headliner assembly, a hard cardboardy kind of thing, scrape off all the old glue and foam, and then reapply all new headliner, including taking out the sun roof and doing that separately. Seems like quite a bargain for 200 bucks; I told them gently they could go higher and do a nice job, take their time, etc. Shouldn't be any more difficult than RNG's little touch up paint job...;)

Having been in that business for 37 years, I can tell you that there is more to it than the name on the trunk lid. The sunroof alone, depending on the car and model, can add $200 to a headliner job. I've wire brushed a bunch of those boards, some are actually Styrofoam, try getting glued, dry rotted foam off that and not tearing it up! If you're getting a good job done for $250, you're sailing in following seas!

Still humid here, 75ー going to 85ー, heat wave the end of the week. Really nice yesterday afternoon, got cloudy, dropped from 90ー to 78ー, cloudy and a little breeze.
I picked a Cub Cadet 3208 yesterday to use as another utility tractor, can't have too many!

truer words have never been said...;)

that looks like a high end model with the Kawasaki engine, shaft or belt drive?

Anyone want to tell me why Greek yogurt is allegedly better/healthier than regular yogurt? It's thicker and gummier for sure.

Plain Greek yogurt is some of the best food made. It's in the numbers. More protein, less sugar and calories. I use it in my fruit, granola, nuts and seeds every morning.

Good Morning. 0830, overcast, 77F with 99% humidity. Forecast high of 86F with 80% chance of thunderstorms today, and a low of 74F tonight. We have had storms all around us, but only about a quarter inch here at the farm. Maybe today is the day.

I'm going to try to not make my shopping run to Marianna today if it can be helped. But lightning got Mamma's cordless phone yesterday. I looked at the $ stores in Blountstown last night. No phones. Sister is going to try the $ stores in Altha today. BIL works right beside Walmart. Maybe he will feel sorry for us, and brave it.

You guys have a good one,

Larro

Plain Greek yogurt is some of the best food made. It's in the numbers. More protein, less sugar and calories. I use it in my fruit, granola, nuts and seeds every morning.

less sugar is always good as long as it doesn't taste sour. I eat it every day, mix up the brands, try a lot and try to avoid the ones with what amounts to
marmalade down at the bottom. I guess if I flavored plain yogurt with peach or pineapple juice, that would work nicely. But the juices are all sugars so I wonder
if the Splenda sweetened variety is best. Lots of different Greek yogurts now being marketed, about half the case of yogurt at the supermarket.
So since I doubt much of this yogurt really comes from Greece, the process must be different. I wonder if the original yogurt was made from goat milk.
I've been sprinkling some sunflower kernels into mine, bought some for a healthy munchy for guests and no one wanted it. So I'll use up the sunflower kernels
in something else. Usually I dump blueberries into the yogurt. Which I wish came from my own blueberry bushes but not this year. Critters got everything.

Need to build some serious protection for my three flower beds, all of which have now been munched by deer, the roses, half killed, blueberries and blackberries, they only ate the blackberries which thankfully are coming back, and the veggie garden, where I now see the tomatoes up high have been munched.

I now realize my electric fence, which I put around the veggie garden, and nothing bothered it, until now, really needs to go around all three gardens; they are lined up in a row. But the birds are another story. So at least over the berries, i would need a roof. It all sounds too complicated but I'm tired of my gardens being wrecked.
Half the roses did not survive a denuding, particularly during that high heat spell. Too much of a shock I suppose. Perhaps plants get rid of their heat through their leaves...and without any leaves I wound up with dead sticks. Am learning absolutely everything has to be fenced. Otherwise I am just providing feeding stations for the locals.

Nothing new, just a lot more critters and invasive species than I've been used to.
And i sure wish they allowed year round deer hunting. Yummy
venison burgers for all.
I bet some hunters here know...how does deer stack up to beef and chicken as far as protein and fat content?
Though I doubt we'll be seeing a Bambiburger at McDonald's anytime soon.
