Got the lawn done...mowed some more of the field (trying to clear out some bamboo...the flail mower does much better cutting that bamboo than my old Woods rotary cutter did)
Most of the trimming is done, ran out of .095" string though.

Yesterday we found a new waterhole and managed to drink lots of beer samplers while enjoying some good bbq. Not a stout fan, I found out. Oh well, it was beer!

Not a fan of stout either.

Canning is getting to be a lost art. I was walking my daughters through the produce section and the youngest says "What is that?" I replied "Dill, that's what you make pickles with." She smelled it and said yes!

Hot, hot, hot. Don, any hotter and you won't need anything to heat your pot of potatoes. Just set them on the black asphalt.

Ed, you look at your location and see you have two or three pages ahead of you to go, sometimes tempting to skip ahead. Nice to hear from you again. Lot of folks worried about you. A compliment in itself...

RNG, I've now seen most of the action parts of the sequel, where Keanu Reeves shows, again, superhuman
skill and aim by dispatching several dozen characters during the course of the big shoot em up.
Big stars never get shot in the head...always in the bullet proof vests. Ahhh Hollywood

that beer should be cold by now...

hot tub was nice but water was due for changing, and bromine low, so nothing is easy, got that drained and refilled, while I had a nice salad for dinner and
also made garlic cheese biscuits and honey butter cornbread muffins. Zatarain's box mixes. Cornbread was good, did not cook biscuits enough, but still edible.
Probably not Southern enough to make real cheese biscuits.
All of this given away, carb overdose for me. But of course I had to do quality control...

It is the start of the school holidays here and we have grandson coming to stay for a couple of days. I had hoped to take him fishing, however it looks like we could be in for a few heavy showers today. Having said that, I'm not sure I can believe the short term forecasts anymore as this summer I keep getting soaked when it says <5% chance, yet not a drop seems to fall when it claims >90%. :confused3:

Stout was going out of fashion when I was a youth. Back then it was sipped very slowly by those who wanted to sit in a pub while making a single pint last all night. If you ever want to deter children from drinking beer, offer them a taste of a dark stout

Just under 50 right now...mid-80's for the high today. Looks like a bit of a hot spell today.

Good weekend...got a lot of work done and had beautiful weather for it.

Since most of you guys know I replaced my old finishing mower with a flail mower, I finally remembered to get some pictures.

56 outside this AM. Looks to be upper 80's today. Looks like yard work is on order today. Maybe a car wash or two and equipment check.

Nice flail Roy. Cut looks --- interesting. The offset, is it directly behind the left wheel? In the pics it's hard to tell?

Enjoy the day all. Be safe.
