Good morning!!!!

RIP, Gunny.
R. Lee Ermey, who can forget our favorite drill instructor.
Probably shouting orders still...
Full Metal Jacket was a pretty disturbing film for sure, but Gunny was always good.

Drew, great looking homestead!

I’ve been thinking about a pistol but can’t decide if I want a practical short range defense weapon or a big manly cannon! LOL

Prayers for all in need. Gotta get cranking!

PS; just had a 47 mph gust.

60 and cloudy going to 61. The storm dumped about 1.5 inches here last night and lots of wind.

Yesterday, I came down with Daugen Disease - spent about 7 hours in the garden, much of it on my hands and knees. Got rained on a few times, but only brief showers, helping knock down the dust. My wife helped for about 5 hours. Looks good now, but not nearly as nice as Drew's.

Nice to smell the Lilacs yesterday, and the pear is blooming. Heading outside now to feed the birds and check for storm damage.

Otherwise I find handguns scary. Really. I have enough issues dealing with pacifism without
owning a handgun. And I really should take the shotgun out and make sure I can safely use it.
Have a healthy respect for guns. Lots of permanent things happen when the trigger gets pulled.

Which is why I want a stun gun that really works. On someone with battle gear on.
Because the crazies have that now too.
Until then, well...hoping for the best is not a complete strategy for sure.

It would be nice if there were something for all situations. I keep a can of pepper spray by the door in case some drunk would come in to the yard or something else where lethal force isn't warranted. But in town I'm weighed down enough by the CZ75 to not want to add more. I've seen a video though of a ball that snaps on to the muzzle of a pistol to turn it in to a less than lethal weapon:
Ferguson police testing new, less lethal gun technology - YouTube

Though I feel like combining less than lethal with lethal might lead to some really unfortunate mistakes.

Cleaned out service truck yesterday full load of trash and then some. Today too wet to work have to see what can be gotten into. Yard was freshly mowed by better half over the weekend probably need to go on stick patrol with all this wind. Ticks are out and about and a good friend down the road had a bear visitor going thru the neighborhood trash. Hope he doesn't come visiting here

Watched reruns of Perry Mason last night and the show took place in and around Germany very different definitely not the norm for that show

I saw that episode a few months ago, Different indeed.

Andrew, when I told a friend one of my online tractor buddies was in Slovakia, his immediate thought was
whether you had to duck from bullets while driving your tractor.
He was exaggerating of course but do you have some social unrest there?
Getting bad when you have to up-armor your tractor.

Now to go squirt off the car and make it nice, drop off two gallon bags of lettuce to the food pantry, for the staff, not enough for clients,
and then on to used car dealer. Pretty sure it's a waste of time particularly if they won't put a dealer tag on the car. That's one of my requirements.
I'm likely just to drive it home with a bunch of truck guys joking about me. But then I get to plant for the rest of the day so my eye is on that ball actually.

Hope you all have a great day.

61 outside this AM. Thunderstorms last night pushed a lot of rain through here.

Still need to fix the roof on the sheds. LOL. I told my wife, I like the light in the sheds. Somehow she did not find the humor.

Have a great day all, be safe.
