Good morning!!!!

What veggies are you eating now?

When you were down the before covid19 potato crop was harvested 12 plants yielded 100 potatoes. The after Covid 30 plants will be ready to pull in 2 weeks. The after Covid tomatoes are 5 feet high and the tomatoes will be red next week, and the okra is up.

Still having a lot of black bean Mexican dishes and curry and homemade veggie burgers. My sour dough starter kind of works, taste good, rises, but the bread is still too dense-a work in progress. The Covid weekly desert has been carrot cake.
Low sodium V8 has been preventing leg cramps and dehydration during brush clean-up days.

Already up to 75 and supposed to climb to 91 and sunny.

Thought I'd go knapsack huntin' early, once the dew evaporated, but the breeze showed up at the same time...my wife says the poison ivy has a deal with the wind. I'm gonna keep a close eye on it and instead lop and pole saw some more...got a lot done yesterday before bush hogging for a couple of hours and then making a vet run for a Coco checkup. First time in town in a while and noticed gas jumped about 15 cents.

RNG, I always thought those warnings on Amazon were come-ons...yesterday when I looked at the genie, it said "hurry, only 4 left."
Rick, once I get mine and test it out successfully, I'll contact the seller to make sure you get your commish...if they don't, I'll send you a coffee bean assortment...better than cha ching. Nice looking Park.

Mostly, why vinegar on the sidewalk?

Ron, let those thistles go to seed and you'll be swarmed with goldfinches. But then you'll have to hire Eric to hunt and spray.

PJ, nice story of getting bikes and riding with your wife. Special.

Red, if any snow left after you drop it off at Kyle's, I'll put in an order. Montana is so beautiful year round.

77°F and light intermittent rain this morning, going up to 91° today. Cristobal has arrived, and will be dropping water on us most of the day. Suggestions are that some may get severe this afternoon and evening.

Thought about Thomas when the local weather guy was talking about the rains this morning on the radio. He started to say that it was circling around near Lebanon New Hamp... then corrected himself to Lebanon Missouri. Got a chuckle out of that, thinking "Hey, I know someone there!"

Too hot (91°) when I got home from work last night, so didn't take a bike ride as planned. Played around in the studio instead until 11pm.

Drew ... ouch. That's all I have to say about that.

We haven't gotten bike computers yet, mostly_. We did have them on the last bikes, and they're quite handy. We pretty much ride 99.44% on paved roads or paved trails. Madison County, where we both grew up, has converted a bunch of old railroad right-of-ways into trails that run literally all over the county. We used to do a lot of riding there, and plan to start doing it again.

Condolences to BEF and Randy on your losses.

It's not your vision going wonky, Eric. That down tube does indeed have a bit of a swoop to it. Here's a better side shot swiped from the inturwebs.

Interestingly, the Cannondale I tried had an odd angle on the top tube. Not sure if that's a functional trait, or just something to be a little different.
My Wife has been my riding buddy since we started dating back in '03. I definitely don't hate it.

I filled up this morning, and noted it's back above $2/gal here now. $2.09 in Troy IL.

Low sodium V8 has been preventing leg cramps and dehydration during brush clean-up days.

I've liked the old original V8 as long as I can remember. But I bought a case of the low sodium version once, and eventually drank the whole case of terrible tasting stuff trying to get used to it, because some folks say it's healthier. It may be, but I went back to the original.

84 degrees this morning going for 96. The yard definitely needed mowing, but I had planned to do that tomorrow since it's supposed to be cooler. However, this morning the south breeze was 16 to 29 mph, so no dew on the grass, so I got it mowed before 8:30 a.m.

71°F and only .01 inches water. Guess Zi better water garden this morning.

Off to Honokaa for wife’s preop appointment rescheduled from last week. Pretty sure wife will want to go to Waimea for DQ after.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

We have a micro brewery and a distiller there now, a lot has changed. The nut house burned down and was replaced, Ice cream shop is a popcorn place. But still kept up well.

nothing ever beat the burgers at the Pineville Tavern either, though now it's gone pretty upscale. Buttonwood is still there but not sure same exact location. Both places were great to go have a cold beer on a Friday night, I think Pineville tavern has same bar farmers have been settling down to forever. Of course almost no local farmers anymore. Soup and burger at Candlewyck in Buckingham also good, once they banned smoking. So smoky in there I didn't like it all all no matter how good the home cooking was. That was one ban I was all for.
Area is a nightmare to drive through on weekends, with rt 202 a parking lot to New Hope. You learn how to get in there by side roads.

My friends that live in Breese, IL posted about their trailer fee going up $100. Plus $.35 gas tax.
We are going to get a chance to recall our Governor in November. Just need 1 millions signatures on petition by September. I will guess it will only take a couple weeks to get them.

Gee, Randy, really too young. Condolences to wife and family.
