Good morning!!!!

   / Good morning!!!! #76,171  
speaking of too much in a confined area, my little raised garden is about to explode with potatoes, probably twice too much in there, including the dark blue ones.
Some are French fingerlings, wonder if I should dig them up early to make sure they are small. Too bad there's not a glass window on the side of the raised garden so you could see
how things are growing under ground. Now wouldn't that be cool...

best year yet for roses

chased in by rain after weeding and hoeing for several hours, frankly happy to come in
Thunderstorms rumbling away
tomatoes and peppers still small but at least they are now looking reasonably healthy and growing.

Fruits of your labor. Looking good.

Looks beautiful Drew ... :thumbsup:

Got the central air pump hooked up, valves swapped, and all the filters connected again ... running 9 sponge filters of one sort or another, running them hard ... and still having to bleed off air. Pump is rated for 20 - 35 outlets.

Like the water movement on the HMF ... given the low maintenance, that seems like it would be a good way to go.

Sprayed the driveway and around the wooded areas, got a good 2 hours before rain hit so should be fine. Mowed the 2 acres, skipped the extra section on the rear, last 15 minutes in a steady rain.

The airport cancelled Saturday’s wings and wheels show due to wet conditions and a 90% chance of rain 4 straight days.

2.5 hrs in dentist chair, cleaning, then a temp crown. Poured down rain for an hr, more road closings going on. Just got home, my head is thumping.
Temp crown is rough on bottom, keep rubbing tongue on it.

Pretty roses Drew. I grew up raising acres of potatoes at home, all hand planted, hoed and dug. There's a reason i went to college... Not to mention a couple acres of strawberries, and the garden...

Wife did good servicing Tundra.
Not that she really likes driving it. When new, she’d complain about not being able to get seat close enough - she’s only 4’11”. She does complain I don’t keep it clean enough. It has a camper top over bed - dedicated dogs area. Most of the time for garbage runs the garbage goes in back seat because the dogs are in the bed. Dealer said it failed battery test. oK, 6 years old. I can get replacement cheaper at Walmart or Costco. Of course it has never failed to start so now it probably will.

Re the volcano pics. We did go up there, a friend who lives in town did, so, no, not our dog.

I believe they were OK for air quality due to wind direction and being familiar with the area 8 suspect wind was blowing away from them.

We had a very faint odor this morning, not strong, didn’t last long.

Should the wind change to affect us, we would have to be mindful of ash. Surely don’t want that fouling our water supply. Basically we would block inlet to tanks and open the first flush and hope for significant rain. With 16k gallons in the tanks wē could go some Time without concern.
