Good morning!!!!

No tractor boneyards around here.... not really any more car junkyards either. There used to be around 10-12 down in Albuquerque, now down to 2-3. Most couldn't compete with one called U-Pull-It.... flat rates, cheap prices, doesn't matter what car it came off.

Typical example: we got 3 1/2 sets of the window channels off of a Jeep cherokee and an overhead console / speaker bar --- cost: $45.
Went to another junkyard about 3 blocks away to get the remaining 1/2 set of window channel --- $45..... kinda price gouging

Sadly those days almost dust in the wind :(

79F and sunny @ 11:00, heading up to a high of around 85F - 86F. Winds out of the NNW @ 5 to 10 mph, DP 47F, humidity 36F ... so likely to be fairly pleasant out there today.

Hopper feeder due to be refilled, also a couple of suet feeders.

Plants in front likely due to be watered at some point today, will probably transfer another batch of them to around back into that 3rd wading pool.

Clean out chipmunk trap in front, refill and rebait. Probably see about setting up the second one somewhere.

Move plants in garage out front.

Finish up planting those Yellow Crookneck squash, possibly later when I have shade.

More mulching up around the maple tree behind the shop.

Grass is continuing to grow but more slowly, probably mow tomorrow when it is supposed to be over 90F for the high.

Hope everyone has a great TGIF !!! ... (y)

Junkyards around here always seemed like they just made up a price on the spot. Even the newer U-Pick-It place does that.

67°F and no rain.

Missed the PO window yesterday (closed at 11AM) so that is a must do this morning

Guys lost H&F, but a pleasant game where the gals didn’t totally overwhelm us

The Thai Coconut Chicken curry was very good.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

set a personal best at supermarket paying for 7 one pound strip steaks, then bought two more big tbones for folks who own the new home I'm staying in, all by myself on 250 acres of woods.
Will put those tbones in their freezer. If freezer is off....hmmmm, might have to take them to cabin and cook them too. Those woods will be like driving by
a Burger King for the animals, all the roasting beef fat, yum

Also got three pounds of fresh steamed shrimp. And two big jars of Kelchners cocktail sauce.

am always happy to bring food to them; they are such good cooks that I know I'll get something really good back.
Strip steaks aren't my first choice but that was his call. Might have been worried about fitting them on old charcoal kettle stove.
I can only eat half a steak, but right off a charcoal grill, extra yum.

miles to go before I sleep
