$3.69 gallon...OTR diesel $4.05 gallon here. 🙄
Went the 2 stations that showed $3.55 price on Gas Buddy. $4.19 and $4.39. Someone is putting false info on Gas Buddy. I have full tanks in tractor and mower plus 30 gallons in storage tank. Did not buy any diesel.
Rural King is close by. So stopped by and got some shopping done there.

I put some feelers out to my SIL in Oahu to see if she could find out if my second wife's home
in Lahaina burned down. Not looking good at all. She was in modern fire resistant housing but ??

Mother Nature continues to remind us who's boss.

77F and sunny @ 12:45, heading up to around 82F for the day's high. HI 78F, DP 60F, HU 54%, AQI 48.

Had some showers pop up to the north heading southeast last night, just missed us.

Hopper and the 2 tube feeders refilled first thing yesterday, also suet feeder.

No mowing done though. Will probably have to get on that today, some parts of compost/food plot/wood lot getting very high plus front should be due again.

Instead we worked on doing some clean up and started the mulching on the northeast planting bed which I had sprayed a week or two ago. It hasn't had much done to it over the last several years:

Rhododendrons we planted there have all done pretty well, except for one which we lost.

Have lots of hosta and a few day lilies that we'll be sticking in there before we do much more in the way of mulching ... along with a couple of volunteer redbud trees. Hoping mulch will go on sale again at Menards, probably only have a dozen bags or so left.

Will haul Water Buffalo over there before I start mowing so Woman can water and feed.

Also cleaned up the adjacent planting bed around the big maple tree and put up a monofilament fence plus added 3 bucketloads of screened compost to level it out some:

Unfortunately Woman reports that She saw deer tracks inside of that one this morning when She was over there inspecting it ... 🤬

May have to break out the stink juice.

Woman collected another half dozen or so tomatoes from the garden yesterday. BLT's are on the menu for today ... :love:

Hope everyone is having a Good Friday ... (y)

Went to the store and ordered two pairs of eye glasses with progressive lenses. One pair is sun glasses. Was cheaper than expected with Rayban frames
Picked up some fish filets at the grocery store for dinner
Fixed the old broken glasses a little better with some small cable ties now they have to last a week or 10 days or so for the new glasses

Success! Drip emitters in place. Fired up the zone and..... shhhhhhh..... 6 out of 40 had microscopic holes where the injection molding nozzle was. Pulled and replaced .....

Figured I should check the zone with the 144..... yep, found 12 there. Apparently not good quality control. All of these were in the second order....

Too hot out there now, will find some inside stuff to piddle with.

I've been wearing progressive lenses for about 20 years now, including sunglasses. I have had them from 4 different big chain type stores. They were always ok. This last time, we tried Costco. Absolutely the best pairs that we have gotten.
I did the 'mirror' coating on the sunglasses.... definitely worth the extra $20. Doesn't affect the progressive lenses at all, but gives a bit more 'darkening'.

I'd try to "wander" by as he was getting ready to work and while visiting. Just stop and step back look up and down the fence line and a comment such as hum is the line that far over.?
Makes an easy conversation starter and can be done pleasantly as long as desirered or picked up in a more direct mode as needed.
Good Afternoon Lou,
Sounds like a plan, dont want to make a big deal over a few feet !

BTW Lou,
Should be going past your neck of the woods tomorrow, while heading over to the horse races in Saratoga ! Hoping for a good day, couple of beers and maybe a winner in one of the quinellas ! ;)

All have a good evening !

that is an amazing amount of piping, carrying stuff that goes boom.

well it looks like ex wife's home did burn down, with the rest of Lahaina. Not much of it survives.
at least she is not on the list of folks they are looking for

Hot rod Lincoln was something I heard a lot back in the day. Copperhead Road is another song that I like very much Steve Earle very oriented to Vietnam days including boot leg or moonshine
Long version.

Popgadget, that is a sturdy Milwaukee drill with I am sure lots of torque. I have two of the longer version right angle drills that also have lots of torque but being longer easier to control
