Good morning!!!!

Good pic of the little bugger eating your collards - bottom center second leaf up.

Don that is a good eye. It is a cabbage worm, they make an organic spray that kills them. I get it at the hardware store. This is the pretty little white moth that you see flying around your yard and garden. They get on any of the cole family of plants. Ed

First cup of coffee has been poured. 41° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 49° with mostly sunny skies. Doctor appointment this morning. Then take dog to groomer. Got my list completed yesterday. Got wet from power washer and rain. Still need to change hydraulic and transmission filter on lawnmower. But at least mower is clean enough to see where they are.
Randy, you are in my thoughts.
Drew, have you tried Tub O Towels for clean up. They are not just for your hands.
David S, no pictures of the buses?
Good Morning All.

Good morning all, 48 this morning going to 78. Guess I better turn off the heater in the shop. Working on plans to hook up a dust deputy to my shop vac. Hope to make a little cart to hook the vac and bucket together and have the bucket lid flip up on a hinge. Still a lot of figuring to do. Ron thanks for the getting in the shop tip.

Drew, I am liking the looks of that little Massey, I know you are already enjoying it.

RNG, remind me never to get on the wrong side of your neighbors.

Randy, Prayers still being sent your way.

Have a great day, Ed

Ed, I'm headed for organic spray this morning. Thanks

Eric we'd much rather have you in one piece versus the picture. I hate slopes and get
nervous very quickly. There are so many rollover videos on Youtube...might not be really good on
my neck. Did you have your seatbelt on?...(I forget often)

A big group man hug for Randy.

Almost all of us go through this, hope you are extremely old and totally senile and oblivious when it happens to you.
I believe Randy and Lynn were high school sweethearts. Going to take him a few weeks to get out of the fog, get past the funeral, and then wonder about
the rest of his life. And we will be here.

Did his girlfriend propose? She is easy on the eyes too.

Somebody did. They are now engaged after the game.

Good morning! I have been thinking a lot about Randy also. We both married our high school sweetheart in 75'. It's got to be so hard to be thinking singular and missing her so much. I can't seen to grasp how I would cope. I know for me it will be a long slow recovery with a lot of setbacks.

Ron, Ms. Whipper keeps looking down the road waiting for Betty to show up to get her annual November treat and I have a little pond that could be dug a lot quicker with two people. Guest get the seat time. Right now the temps are unseasonable warm hitting the 80s. Before sunrise it is 73˚.

The window guy showed up to take measurements. The little battery operated EGO lawnmower with NO SIDECHUTE hit a rock sending it through a double paned, tempered glass, tinted, window with replacement cost of $420.

RNG, I can't believe the 911 caller said it was an "on going issue". Something is not right with either of them.

Drew, Master Organic Gardeners are taught to use fingers instead of sprays on the larger pest such as you have. They don't want to take the chance of killing beneficial insects.

Ouch. Very unlucky...things really shouldn't shoot out of a mulching mower but that's a powerful bat under there that clearly hit the ball through your window.
Whatever direction you were mowing in when this happened, I'd mow in the opposite direction next time.

 

[daugen]

Hmmm. Collateral damage. Really don't want to hand pick bugs, perhaps my bb gun with a scope might be a bit drastic...
I was thinking some form of Neem oil. If I air blast the collards first to blow away at least some of the good bugs, then spray an organic spray that works on contact,
I think I might take the compromise. Most bugs are my friends. The stamps I'm now using are the pollinator stamps that have pics of bees on flowers.
Can't kill the good guys.

time to make breakfast and go squish at least one bug.

Attempt at humor since Correa proposed to Miss Texas, I'm waiting to hear why Verlander has cold feet with Ms. Upton,...


Ouch on the window price Don. You might check on buying just the 2 plates of glass(already assembled together), pull the trim stay pieces, and put it in yourself.
