Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Happy birthday Kyle! Sorry I missed it! Just hot and miserable, nothing else to say about that.

Good Morning!!!! 75F @ 8:30AM. Sunny. High near 95F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

Non-Newtonian fluid, Eric? Might make a good mouse trap if a little peanut butter was mixed in...:laughing: But it's gotten to the point where I have plenty of options to keep me busy, I just have trouble figuring out what to do next!

Rode the side-by-side Kubota around most of yesterday morning spraying weeds, finding it a bit difficult to keep track of where I'd just sprayed. There are just too many wheel tracks there already, and the new ones don't stand out very well. Very likely some weeds got missed, while others got double doses. Guess I'll find out in a couple of weeks what got missed. Used almost 5 gallons of glyphosate concentrate so far, and it looks like I need another five to finish. So off to Tractor Supply today for more, then another stint wrangling wires on the van at the mechanic's.

Also ordered cans of fix-a-flat for the Kubota. One tire already has a leak, and I suspect it's due to the thorns on the star thistle. Might as well put the stuff in all the tires, because at this rate it's only a matter of time before they're all leaking.

Hang in there, Gang, Friday's comin'!

Only cooled down to 75F last night from mid 90s yesterday. House did not cool off.

Happy belated birthday Kyle.

My wife had me weed wack around the fence line bushes last night and we placed the drip line in amongst the bushes. It seems to work well all the way to the end. Hoping we can get some good growth on the bushes so they filter some of the road dust. We have more neighbors now and they seem to make several trips in/out daily, stirring up great clouds of dust. We have not been able to use clothesline much this year it has been so dusty.

After a couple hours of weed wacking and messing around, I was soaked with sweat and done. I had a cool shower to cool down, heat saps my energy (which I don't have much of).

69°F and .11 inches rain.

No big plans to tax the shoulder.
Hoping Kekoa is ready to resume his homework.

Be safe
Have a great day

Check at TSC to see what they have in the way of pond dye (to keep the vegetation growth down)

They used to carry something- had "Blue" in the name - about $30 for 1/2 gallon or gallon.

Works great as a marking dye for spraying. Doesn't take much ... used to use a couple of ounces per 25 gallon tank.

Way cheaper than the dye that they carry that's meant for spraying.

Hey Ladysmith David, how is life treating you? Is your harem cooperative?

powerwashed about 200 feet of fence. Overdid it a bit. Came in really dragging and breathing hard. Purplish face pretty good indicator I was overheated. Shower felt great. Need to stay inside now no matter how nice it is outside.
Had a big glass of diet tonic water with quinine mixed with a big dose of straight black cherry juice. Pretty good.

Hey Ladysmith David, how is life treating you?

Drew,

I am doing well thank you. My 8 year old & my wife are still my biggest fans.

I know the heat & humidity brother! I've had a couple of weekends working all day in the blazing sun and humidity running my chainsaws and tractor. I need to post some of the pictures... I'm finally getting proficient with my saws, and honestly might need a bigger tractor (LOL) as some of the trees & logs I've moved were seriously stressing my little DK50... Over doing it is easy in this humidity.

Be well brother!

David

MossflowerWoods; honestly might need a bigger tractor (LOL) [/I]

now we're talking, in Kubota terms you and I have an L tractor and M ambitions...
there are times we would all like a 7000 pound utility tractor under us, picking up those big trees...
Win that sales contest and have your boss get you a new DK90 :thumbsup:
all those cheap cruises I won once up on a time. Six cruises won by sales contests, and boy did I learn why having a decent
room on a ship is important. First cruise won got me an inner room next to the engine room.

very crampy, may have to go into hot tub. Drinking fluids like crazy. Right hand which was gripping the powerwasher nozzle
very unhappy. Carpal tunnel special up to the elbow. Hot tub is sounding good.
If only I had my tart. Everyone else is getting a tart but not me. :confused3:

Wife had the ac running in the camper, making lots of noise but putting out cold air. Really vibrating.
