The bugs are winning. But at lest I slowed them down. There is some kind of a new bug every day. This AM it was what looked like a cockroach, except it had wings & was flying. landed on my leg. I tried to throw it down so I could stomp it. Bobby got in the way & it hopped off her & off the deck. Have had them in the bird seeds, from 2 different places. Never seen or heard of them in this area.
Got TV sounding a little better. Taped a hunk of Styrofoam over the speaker. Helped a little as long as AI am in front of it.
If I ever go to Tombstone, there is huge cast iron kettle. Take at least to strong people to set it in the truck. Plan to dig a hole, set an old barrel in it, pour cement around it. build big fire under it, once there is a big bed of charcoal under it will cook for hours.
Worked for a small company just off the end of the runway in Phoenix. They made custom cal rod heaters. Same thing is as in an electric stove. Just a lot longer. Some up to 30 feet long. First day on the job they sat me down at a punch press. It punched out fins that went on base board heaters. Made when business got slow. Second day foreman as me if I could weld. Just to gt away from the press I said yes.
At the end of the day he handed me a book on welding from some time in the late 30's. read the part that had something to do with my job. ( basically silver solder.). A few days later the owner came around & ask who was the welder, I didn't answer, but 1 of the others pointed me. I though oh crap I'm done. He came & told me I had just earned a raise. The foreman & I took an old barrel & turned it in to a forge with an old vacuum cleaner. Burned mesquite charcoal that really threw sparks. But it worked.
There was a big 14 inch lathe there, one AM I used it to cut off a pipe. file slipped & pealed the skin back off the top of my thumb. No big deal went on with the work with a rag wrapped around my hand. later when others go there they took me to get it sowed up. Then i went back to work. About a week later they took out the stitches I actually felt good, scratched the itch. All at once I felt faint, head spinning in turned white. Nurse laid me down. when it got better AI went home & to bed for the rest of the day.
Put 2 ear corns on the grill this AM wrapped it n foil & put in some water. Left it on for 15/ 20 minutes & got really tender & sweet. With some salt it was as sweet as water melon. Ate 1, wrapped up the other for later,
Gave Bony the cob she chewed on it for a while, then used it like a pillow.
A couple of questions - If you have any kind of an answer, please do,
What purpose dose the silk on corn serve??
How are seedless water melons planted??
As a kid was told if I ate the seeds they would grow out my ears.:laughing:
More later
