Good morning!!!!

Good morning, Friday 13th. Started off with no water. I just repaired 2 water leaks the last few weeks. My meter was showing no flow, so a call to the rural water co. I was the only one who has complained????? The water regulator pressure spring on THEIR side of the meter was broken in half. Fixed - no charge. Good pressure now. Bad things come in threes so I'm still leery.

Well it is 6:25PM on Friday the 13th and I'm still alive... Who believes in all that rubbish ? Not me!

Hang on... What was that noise from the creaky floor board just behind my chair... Maybe I left a window open, because I can feel some air on the back of my neck.

Hold on, I'll post this and go check...

Well I managed to fight him off, beard and all. The doors are bolted and the windows barred. Thank goodness for that.

OK, back to my tapestry.

Good afternoon all. Today temp is 90F going to 94F, low this morning. Replacing siding on the east and west end of the house, west end is up and has 1 coat of TWP, the east end is being removed. Still real short on rain.

What was the bait? I have always used cheapo stinky canned cat food. 80 here right now I am beginning to put together a free standing deck Gazebo the wife ordered from Sears. Might have to go buy more tools to do that....:laughing: we were supposed to get the gazebo and a smaller pergola for the other deck but when they got here to deliver them the driver told me the pergola was damaged by a forklift and they could not deliver it, which means I have to undergo yet another stay-at-home-and-wait-for-redelivery....GRRRR. I will give them some credit, they arrived right smack in the middle of the projected 9 to 11 am delivery window.
JD have used dry cat food with water and have had great results. We trapped 20 some varmints mostly racoons in one summer. Varmint activity slowed quite a bit after that.

I was mowing grass until zero turn flung the drive belt for the second time in about 6 weeks, at least I got 3/4 and the front that shows, done. I towed in from way in the back with my tractor, ever notice how nothing breaks down or runs out of gas near wherever you keep it?
It was supposed to get to 86 today, felt warm so I looked, 91. Oh well the heat got back early.

You are full of it as usual, have not mowed for a MONTH now...has been much too dry.

Been working on putting up the gazebo, taking my time as it gets as high as 98 degrees here....and as the picture shows, I don't have enough ladders to do a proper job...:laughing:

I just came into refill my iced tea, take a little break .... and clean up my wounds with a little hydrogen peroxide .... :rolleyes:

Was picking thru the bigger rocks on the backside of the polebarn for a dry creekbed I'm doing when I spotted a nice big round rock ....

Unfortunately it was in the middle of a bunch other big rocks. So's I pulled the tractor and bucket over to as close as I could get to it and went over and picked it up and proceeded to make my way towards the bucket .... lost my footing and slipped and fell right into the bucket edge with my left arm ... smashing my right ring finger under the rock as it went into the bucket .... :(

After 1300 hours the bucket edge is fairly sharp ....

Could have been a lot worse I suppose - skinned up my left arm in a couple spots, with one small cut .... and smashed fingertip ....

Mouse,

So far all I have had hand-to-hand with inside the coop is the 6 black snakes I've killed so far...
Taking on a Mink with a pitchfork... You're THE MAN!

I am pretty sure it is the same 'coon that ripped wings off of my duck and the pullet. Thay got ahold of the keet through 1" chicken wire and everything that would fit through that size hole was gone... the other 2 were terrorized but alive. We moved them in with the larger birds into the "Chikn Shak"...

I've had it with the varmints.
I will show no mercy ever again to any of them...

David

As much as I like animals and hate to kill them, if I had to endure the wanton destruction and senseless slaughter you have experienced from the vermin, if I caught one alive I would would probably put the cage in the sun for a few hours, then offer him a cold drink of icy antifreeze....make the b***** suffer.

Those are only half the fiberglass ladders I have, and the pic deoes not show any of the wood or metal ones that I rarely use. Hey maybe I should start a thread "How many ladders do you have...."
