Wife stopped at a farm nearby that had a sign for $5 dozen corn. They went and picked her fresh corn, and gave her 18 ears for the $5 dozen. It was the best corn we’ve had this year. She had one of our corn ears in the pot, that was too ripe. She ended up throwing it away after a bite.

distressing call from fuel oil company

they quoted 2.69 for next year

97/109 outside

Yikes! I read today that the Producers Price Index rose 7.8% year over year in July.

That does not bode well for future consumer prices.

I am at 2.99 for fuel oil with 24x7 service, for now. It keeps going up, can;t wait to see what my new lock in rate will be.
Too hot here, may just do dog walks and not much else after work.

Sorry about the gout Thomas! Do you know what your trigger food is?
Mine has been ok for a while without meds. (I Stay away from sea food and beef). I'm still not sure what sets mine off.

Not sure of the cause but I am leaning towards popsicles.

Good morning all. There are many times each year when the sun beats down, or the heavens open, or a cold wind is buffeting, that I am grateful I have a cab on my tractor. Never more so though than days like yesterday, when I put a front wheel down an unseen hole in the grass and out poured countless extremely angry wasps, most of them throwing themselves at the glass and demanding that I come out and take the punishment. So lucky that I had no windows open.

I've yet to know of anyone out run bees/wasps with no cab with out getting stung.

No plans this evening.

Enjoy your evening all.

I noticed our fuel prices creeping up here too. Our area has always been considerably cheaper than Brisbane or the Gold Coast and remains so but it is sneaking up. I can't compare to your prices as your gallon is smaller than ours, however a litre of unleaded here cost me $1.45.9 yesterday with Diesel about $1.47 per litre. A few short weeks ago unleaded was only around $1.37.
I grabbed this off my car dashcam from yesterday at a small servo on the way out of town. Diesel is $1.39.9 a litre and unleaded $1.44.9. I don't normally fill up there. I might now after seeing that diesel price. LOL

I've yet to know of anyone out run bees/wasps with no cab with out getting stung.

I was grappling (no cab) by a know hollow tree with bees when the vibration stirred them up and they started buzzing my head, I could not back the tractor out of there fast enough so I let the tractor run put it neutral jumped off and ran away - they stayed with the tractor. About 10 minutes later I eased back on the tractor and got out of there. No stings.

297 new county covid cases, up slightly but still down from the highest last week, Texas 7 day average is also up slightly from yesterday but down from last week.

Went to Mom's to take care of some things. While there I was able to catch her cat before he retreated under the car and caged him. He was screaming like a person, I called the vet to see if he could squeeze us in for the cats yearly vaccinations but he was very busy and it would be 2.5 hour wait. I told him we will make it another day and let the poor, still screaming at the top of his lungs, cat out to go and hide under the car. No way I could take that screaming for 2.5 hours.

We have lots of oil in Texas but were shut down in January. Governor wrote a letter to Washington offering help.
