Good morning!!!!

[Ed of all trades]

54 outside this AM. Mid eighties today. Road trip for beadboard and bbq on order.
I also am still having issues with a groundhog under my pool house. Seems it moved the traps out of the way. May have to try poison. Not fond of doing that. Cannot get under house for bombs and guns are out of the question due to location.
Hope all have a great day. Be safe and good fortunes to all.

Take a rag and dump a half pint of gas on it and shove it way down the hole, cover the hole with dirt and in a few days you will smell your groundhog. Do not light the gas on fire the fumes do the work. Been doing that for years and it works. Ed

Got the rest of the story after I posted this. Ed

Well, the tractor is home, and I should be bringing the Woodmaxx 8H chipper home tomorrow (if it's delivered as scheduled).
Looks like I've got my weekend plans already!

snow pea production is definitely down due to cloudy days we've been having. Fog burned off, got to high 80's today, with
thunderstorms tonight and another half inch of rain predicted. Met my striped friend on the way back from the garden, he wanted no part of me.
Hopefully he will eat the bunny rabbit who ventures in, that's it, I need an attack snake. Well, not for humans...
Spent the morning helping the helpers put down crusher run gravel underneath equipment sheds, where tractors and mowers were sitting on dirt/mud.
No longer, surprising how fast ten tons of stone disappears.
Then this afternoon went and sold my Jaguar, put the check in the bank, happily took the car off the insurance policy, and almost didn't mind taking my lumps.
Almost.

Pulled a couple of big weeds out of the potato patch and this little cutie literally fell on my foot.
First potato!

Good morning, about 12 hours late, even though I got up before 4am.

Bird, good news about your eye, and glad your healed, rip.

PJ, I bet you and your wife are very proud of the changes you are making at your place.

Don, great job getting down to 162.

Amazing tank art, Rick...thanks for sharing.

I bought a zero turn yesterday (to be delivered tomorrow), then came home to finish up my mowing on my 14 year old rider, and was shown who's boss...after cutting some of the yard on a half full tank, I drove it over to the shed for a fill up...and zonk...it would not restart. Still had the front yard to do. Messed with it a bit, but was out of time. So after roasting coffee early this morning, went out to trouble shoot. Battery was good, so traced wires to starter...sure enough one had broken off the connector...or the mower had spit it out in spite. Crimped a new one and finished the mowing and sting trimmer work.

Then took some time on our porch...unfortunately it wasn't relaxing time, but clean up time, lots of pollen and maple seeds on the front porch and the side screen porch. Moved furniture, swept, vacuumed with the shop vac, then pressure washed. Wasn't totally dry before the storm started threatening, so moved some stuff back to the porch, some into the house, and put the tools away...9 seconds before the storm hit. We needed it.

I sure hate to mow the yard more often than once a week, but my yard is already in dire need of mowing, and I mowed 5 days ago. But I guess I better do that tomorrow at least.

Guy from the pool company came to hunt for the leak in the pool. Found one hole about the size of the smallest needle. He says I don't think that is all of the problem, we lost over 12000 gal. Put a little more water in it and mark it and see how much it leaks and call me again. Ed
