Good Morning Randy,

Yesterday I contacted the Wine Faeries to let them know that my Mate from Brisbane had depleted my wine 'collection' = a couple of emergency cases are on their way. Whew.

Wow, similar deal up here in Vermont. Youngest son and wife’s brother and sister and families deleted ours also Good thing we brought some replacements

Good Morning,
Vt, 57 to start going to 80 or so. Nice relaxing afternoon out on the lake with our friends. Then we came back up to the house and and got ready to head out for dinner. I drove to a restaurant about a half hour north of here on Lake Bomoseen , The Lodge Restaurant, overlooking the lake and we were rewarded with a spectacular sunset

Today we will be heading out to the horse races at Saratoga Race Track. We will wave to LouNy on the way by . Then we need to get by all the protesters at the racetrack
Should be a nice day out, and who knows maybe I will get lucky

Got the grass mowed yesterday and did a good part of the trim, so place is looking fairly good for not taking care of it for a few weeks.

Hope all have a wonderful day

62 outside right now, may get to 80 today. Wow. What happened to summer? I just got acclimated to the heat and humidity. LOL.

Wife, MIL and I cut about 300 feet of privets down to about 3 feet. Darn things are not very cooperative around the driveway. Found a new way to entertain MIL. LOL. It was a long day.

Finally picked up my taxes, from last year. LOL. This year ain't looking any better. No comment. LOL.

Today I really, really, really need to start mowing grass. Still have landscaping to do around the big stump that is now mulch and dirt in the front. Need to get some more roots out and level it off as best I can.

Hope all enjoy the weekend.

#wngsprd, I could use your help with the poison ivy. LOL.

Be safe.

nothing new at the racetrack
I get the horse cruelty part, we did ban cockfighting didn't we?..., but vegan protests?
we don't eat horses do we?....
maybe we do...or our dogs do.
No, I looked it up, use of horsemeat in dog food banned in 1970.

Protests at the Saratoga Race Course are organized by animal rights and vegan groups who oppose horse racing, which they view as animal cruelty
. The demonstrations are motivated by horse deaths, dangerous racing conditions, and the exploitation of animals for entertainment.

dragged the hose around and got everything watered before a nice sunny day. Just lovely out now.
will mow the lawn later, then stopping at Popgadget's on way to my friend's home, hope to pick up some pulled pork
and see if we can swap out heads on my string trimmer. I'm betting we can't and incompatible. But all set to be
happily surprised.

on this day 12 years ago the sunflowers were blooming
and the veggies were coming in from our garden at a friend's farm.
my wife made a lot of homemade chicken parm red sauce with those tomatoes
growing sunflowers is fun but you really have to support them when they get big and topheavy,
particularly the mammoth varieties where the heads can weigh several pounds. Lot of bird seed.

Morning all, 72 to 84 and sunny, off to drop son at college.
He overpacked for the little dorm room, so we will see what we come back with
His GF came over to help him pack and she is coming with us to help.

Will be a long day,

Be well,

Good Morning
71° not a cloud in the sky and low humidity. Not much to complain about.

Yesterday was a good day for me at the model field, not so much for one of the other guys.

Went down to the pond and sat on the new dock/deck nice fire in the fire pit, citronella torches kept the bugs at bay. Probably as relaxing as Thomas’ porch. You can see the bridge in the second picture. The fountain is further away than it appears in the picture.

Got the pork shoulders rubbed and in the smoker yesterday evening, a little earlier than usual, but DIL had a couple of spatchcocked chickens to put in, and wanted to get them done before their bedtime.

Pork came out this morning around 8:30, and turned out great. Filled lots of containers.

Today looks like the day for some fence post and gate work, youngest son is onboard to help, so I’ll follow his schedule.

Morning all;
Going to be a lazy day for me today. I never use enough sunblock to counteract some of my medicines when I get out in the sun a lot. Danged nose was seeping and weeping last night and my lower lip is all swollen up, makes drinking an interesting experiences with some dribbling involved.
Out for the out of the field tractor pulls yesterday morning. After my pull (disastrous), we had the tire pressure wrong and the weight balance was off, only made 149 Feet, last place in class, my brother with a very similar tractor made 249 and first place.
Was outside with my second cup of coffee this morning and saw something I hadn't seen in quite some time; a walking stick.

rotated 90

All stay safe and enjoy
