Guess who she asked to do it? That's ok, it will be fun and give me something to do.

Like taking refresher coarse.

I hope so, I haven't seen how much "assembly is required", but I don't think it should be a lot. She asked if I would do all the maintenance on it, so assembling it will just get me familiar with it.

I have been told that the algae bloom at the lake is caused mostly by runoff and the fertilizer some put on the lawn.

Reminds me of a motorcycle trip wifey and I took to Carlsbad Caverns.

My first trip to see the Carlsbad Caverns was when I graduated from high school in 1958. Two friends went with me in my 1956 Mercury convertible. Twenty years later, my wife and I went out there in our new Plymouth Roadrunner. In those days, I worked different shifts, different day off, etc. so I worked the Labor Day holiday and had a 3 day weekend the next week. So I called a motel out there to make reservations for us and I thought the lady I talked to seemed a bit odd. When we got there, I saw why. We were the ONLY customers they had that weekend right across the road from the White Buffalo Saloon.:laughing: At least it wasn't crowded taking the cavern tour.:laughing:

I agree...saw an "Impossible Whopper" - Burger King commercial on TV watching the Orioles baseball game last night. I haven't been in a fast food place in a long time, so don't know if they are selling them locally.

Glory days have them. Are they down your way? Personnally i like the bison burgers.

58°F and rain here in Vancouver. Head for airport shortly for plane to Seattle, then Kona, grab rental car and home. Be nice to be back in own bed.

Had good enough wifi to get caught up superficially on GM, WOW, everyone super busy as always and I couldn’t begin to comment.

Will post some more pics after getting home.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

owner of Massey dealership told me he had some sweet corn he picked that morning for me, so drove up to his shop, he gave me way too much corn, but
I'll give it away to others today and tomorrow. I gave their staff cukes so it was a veggie swap.

fairly rare shade of orange in the shop, don't see a lot of Agco equipment here, larger ones like this built in France, Masseys have different decals and paint.
Old girl waiting for service, sold in this shop many years ago.

Here's some guidance from Texas A&M. First you need to determine what type of algae you're dealing with.

https://agrilifecdn.tamu.edu/fisher...-Controlling-Algae-in-Ponds-Manual-format.pdf

Quick Facts: The quickest way to treat algae in ponds is with copper based algaecides such as chelated copper complexes or copper sulfate. However, integrated management practices are the most effective way to manage algae in ponds and prevent it from quickly re- turning after an algaecide treatment. A combi- nation of the following typically produces more effective, long term algae control: aera- tion; creating a 10’ to 20’ buffer zone around the pond with taller vegetation to filter excess nutrients; decreasing the amount of fertilizer used on lawns and forage fields near the pond; preventing livestock from defecating in or near the pond; locating septic fields far away from ponds; deepening the edges to a slope of 2:1 decline; or a chemical treatment followed by a fertilization program for the good planktonic algae in the pond.

62 going to 92.

Roy, hope your wife is feeling better when she gets up today.

There are reasonably priced handgun vaults that allow a loaded ******* be kept on a bedside table safely, and the gun to be accessed in a under a couple of seconds. I recommend this one:

Eric, the bears are still coming up to the house...they lie down under one of the bird feeder hanging trees, about 15 feet from the house, licking up any spilled seeds. Saw them night before last at about 9pm. We bring in all the "portable" bird feeders each night, and empty the permanent ones, but the goldfinches spill so many sunflower seeds during the day that there are enough to interest the bears. We have ID'ed a family of 3 and a different family of 2, based on size and on a spot of missing hair on one. I have 5 game cams spread around and have been getting pix, day and night on all of them.

We took a day trip over the mountains to the Shenandoah Valley yesterday. We toured Luray Caverns and their antique car museum. Haven't been since I was a kid. They have made many improvements...added an outdoor museum with old valley buildings and barns...moved an old Mennonite meeting house there and in the inside museum they have the 1536 German Bible they used. A very nice display of old valley life.

This pic is of some smaller formations, but the reflecting pool made it special.

Suzette is doing much better, thank you!

I keep one pistol loaded...but nothing in the chamber. The safe looks interesting...I'll have to give that a closer look

Luray Caverns! Boy, it's been a long long time since I went there!

Today's plans ended early. Started raining about 9:30. Then turned hot and sticky. Back in house enjoying the AC.
