Ken, I took it down. I don't know what is going on with you tube. I marked the video as only for those over 18 because of the occasional swearing. None in this video though.

BEF, Yes! Wear the 'Hang 'em High' shirt. Or If you have one that says, 'they are all guilty, let G-d sort them out', that would go over good too. Or how about, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone'.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.7C and it's presently 11.9C, overcast with rain & fairly calm. There was 1.9mm in the gauge @0900. It's still raining.

A very busy day yesterday; first up was the income tax appointment, which was pretty much 'in'n'out'. That left me time to go over to the hardware store to get a couple of long bolts to repair a slat on an outside bench on the Church grounds. I finished that job and was home by noon.

Seeing as I was 'dressed', I decided to do the Launceston trip then instead of waiting for today, especially as rain was predicted. Left, after a quick lunch, @1230 & home by 1740.

So, yes, once again I've been dragged "kicking and screaming into the 21st Century" with a new TV sound bar. Seeing as I was there and I knew that my 25" computer monitor was equally 23yo, I bought a new 27" monitor.

Very nice to receive a Veteran discount on both purchases.

So, today (arvo) will be spent swapping the new for the old. Hopefully the 'air' will not become too blue during the process.

That's about it, take care all.

58F and clear @ 22:00, supposedly heading down to around 53F for the overnight low.

Gave the post hole another shot first thing, didn't seem inclined to go much deeper so I called it good.

Grade at that hole is at the lowest point ... so in theory it shouldn't have to be drilled as deep ... if I am going to fill in around it and raise the grade there.

After that I swapped the bucket for the forks and grabbed the next round pole and brought it back.

Got the pole set and braced and then filled in around it in 3" to 6" lifts, compacting each lift as I went:

Took a break while doing that and headed over and watered the arbs, 2 gallons each.

Took another break a little later and went up and refilled the hopper feeder and both tube feeders.

Set a couple of screws on each post @ 3' and 6' from the top which will be used for string lines, also 1 on each @ 8' down to mark where grade should be.

Worked on building up dirt around the posts to grade after that.

Knocked off shortly after sunset and came up to the house and gathered up the trash.

Woman had to go pick up a 'script so She picked up KFC on the way home for dinner along with some groceries.

She also had to drop by the neighbor's, who is on vacation, to set her trash out.

I helped unload the groceries when She got here and She took the trash up to the cans at the road and then headed over to the neighbor's to set hers out.

Time for a shower and then kick back.

Hope everyone had a decent day ...
