Good morning to all! Low of 54, going up to 84. Good chances for a t-storm this evening, sunny and cool right now. No rain for the last 3 days, so I hope we get a storm.

I took advantage of the nice weather and finished up taking the string trimmer for a long walk.... all stray weeds / grass now controlled. Today's agenda will include getting the landscape beds irrigated.... can't trust the forecast.

Steppenwolfe, sorry to hear about your dad's passing, prayers sent

Eric, nice blossom. We never eat artichokes..... don't know why not....

BEF, nice job cleaning the RV..... something that I have to do but have been procrastinating for quite some time...

Everyone have a great day!

Many times on TBN I have mentioned my Dad; he passed away last Sunday at 85. He was a very proud career Air Force man having served 22 years; and was also a Viet Nam vet. He was a good man...
I feel your loss, losing a parent is a special pain. Remember the good times and try to have more good times with your children so they can remember you.

67F and "Fair" @ 10:30, headed up to a high of 78F. Seems like there must be some high clouds today, as there doesn't seem to be bright sunshine this morning.

Got all four hoses on the loader lift cylinders changed out first thing yesterday. Still need to locate that last hose for the curl cylinder and put it on.

Refueled Kubota.

Then took a bucketload of dirt up to neighbor to fill the last of his trench.

After that I started filling the lawn roller. I believe it's the largest one Ohio Steel makes (920 lbs filled) so it took a while.

While that was happening I refilled hopper feeder and trimmed the low-hanging branches on the magnolia with the (new, last year) Corona hand pruners that The Woman recently recovered (lying on the ground at the base of a tree in the northeast planting bed :rolleyes: ) Have to pick those branches up today.

Once the roller was filled, I ran it over the entire lower front in the long direction, and then came back and hit the bottom half where it was wetter again in the other direction (90 degrees perpendicular)

Stopped for lunch in the middle of that, had a bowl of ham and bean soup. Fed Woman's fish in the upstairs tank.

Refueled the Cub and finished the rolling up and then started mowing down around the house on the east side.

While I was doing that the Amazon driver showed up with the Sabre Red Pepper Gel and dropped it off (four days early)

Still have a little mowing left to the do on the east side and then finish up west side.

Agenda for today:

Order screws for gutter covers from Menards.

Collect up debris from lawn and take to compost pile.

Move more screened compost to southwest corner of house.

Put on pallet forks and put the trees we removed from the dirt pile onto the burn pile.

Finish mowing down around house.

Do some more spraying with what's left in the tank, possibly mix up another tank of juice.

More filling and grading around creek crossing.

Late today: See if lower front has recovered enough from being rolled so it can be mowed.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe Sunday ... (y)

What a great neighbor, RS.

Yeah, he's a great guy.

Have known him for over 40 years, he'd help ya out in a heartbeat if it was within his power to do so.

And that dirt! Not a rock to be found in it!

LOL ... well ... there are a few ... but nothing compared to what it looks like you're having to deal with.

Hope you get the network issues sorted out and clean air blows your way.

Otherwise seems like you're making decent progress on the tank project.

It will be nice to have that done and filled I'm sure.

69°F and .11 inches rain. No mowing today

My friend John bent the PTO shaft for his rotary cutter, so I expect will will attempt to straighten this morning with my 20 ton press.

Otherwise I expect a productive day on my caretaker project

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I'm not a pickle eater, but do love sliced cucumbers in a bowl of vinegar and pepper.
So does my wife and fresh pick yellow wax beans in milk.
