Good morning!!!!

[300UGUY]

Good day today, I feel a lot better. Thanks for the good thoughts. Back to helping my sister and her husband work on their building today, more tomorrow. Going to put up 5/8 fire rated drywall on a ceiling. Going to use my harbor freight drywall lift. For $150 bucks a few years ago, it really saves my back! I bought a extra mast for it, it goes to 15ft. The ceiling is 14 feet. While working on this, I got a couple of ideas for projects around here.....

Have a good one guys!

btw, Drew - unsupervised you buy some cool toys!!!

63°F and Clear here in Berlin, going to 84°

Easy, but enjoyable day yesterday. Just rode the bus, tram, S bahn around the city sightseeing, hopping on and off as we wished. 2 day tickets at 7 euro each made it a bargain. Most of our travels were in former East. Amazing amount of construction ongoing in this city.




This is an East German guard tower just down from the apartment. Famous as the guards shot a guy trying to swim to freedom just days after border closed. Brother maintains it as a memorial.

Today is a travel day. Train to Vilshofen. We don't get in until 1823. Train leaves in 39 minutes.

Be safe
Have a great day.

Good morning all. The wind has dropped right down, not a single leaf wants to move this morning.

Since my wife got a "spriralizer", courgettes (which I believe some of you may know as zucchini) have been finding their way into the most unexpected dishes. Even more unexpected was that my wife didn't object when I suggested I try some of her latest courgette and lemon cake for breakfast (actually, I had already taken a piece before she got up and it was lovely - the retrospective permission simply encouraged me to go for a second slice ). Perhaps I should get on and finish another raised bed for her and see what delights that will bring.

Moonlight mowing. Temp is good but bugs are bad...

Kyle, great picture of you mowing in the moonlight. By coincidence, I was watching a program last night on how to improve your night time vision and I was thinking that would be good for driving around fields at night without lights. The secret was not carrots, but to eat substances found in colourful plants - lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin. Don, have you come across these in your studies ?

Good morning all, 69 here this morning going to 92 with morning fog. Going to the wood turning class put on by the Central Va Wood Turners. They are located here in the valley about 15 min. from here. Looking forward to it.

Eric, I thought you were going to talk about purple vision. (Why it is called that I don't know.) It is looking near the thing you want to see and at night you can see the thing clearer than if you looked right at it. It does work.

Have a great day. Ed

The humidity is still vacationing with us, planning to leave tomorrow afternoon, taking its 90s with it. But today will be 93.

Good day for the local Wegmans to hold their Hatch chile festival...plan to select a few hot and a few medium hot and bring home to roast...but to sample some of their foods prepared with chiles, and to watch them roasting in the parking lot.

Then need to till a one+ acre field so I can spread 10 pounds of crimson clover seeds I picked up yesterday.

Eric, My wife made a pasta dish the other night, but turns out the pasta was really butternut squash run through the spiralizer.

good morning all.
Eric, if you hacked into a brand new lemon cake for breakfast, you must have several get out of jail passes from your wife. Now if someone had already nibbled, well, fair game.

never got to picking up brush yesterday, had to rototill the sunflowers one more time before taking off the tiller.
By then I had run out of steam.
Up early this morning to get at it while it's cooler.

hope you all have a fun weekend and watch the heat while it's still cooking out there.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 67° with light rain this morning. Heading to 76° with rain and thunderstorms throughout the day. .66" rain overnight. Waiting until yesterday was not a good plan. Lawn clipping windrows are everywhere. With last nights rain, not going to be easy to pickup with Trak Vac. May leave it until we get a couple day of sun. Going to do a few days of R&R with motorhome. Going to be good to be on road for a few days.
wngsprd, we drive thru Hatch, NM on out trip to AZ every year. Never bought any peppers. But have purchased pecans. They a big crop in the area.
Kyle, no nighttime grass cutting here. Dark is time to sleep.
Good Morning All.

61 and foggy right now. A cooler high of mid-70's today with a 60% probability of rain.

First task is a dump run...after that, and if the rain holds off, mowing the lawn. It's been pretty dry here, and we do need the rain. What amazes me is how fast the grass is going, even without the rain.
I also want to swap out a Ruger 10/22 stock with a Hogue rubberized stock. That's an inside job, so can be done at anytime.
