78F and cloudy @ 11:45, heading up to a high of around 84F for the day.
Just had a brief downpour, also had a thunderstorm roll through late last night. LWS is only reporting 0.02" since midnight though. Sure could use a bunch more ... but grateful we at least got some, since they were only calling for a slight chance of a shower.
Got some banking done yesterday, filled up Woman's ride for her down at the corner.
Placed a small Amazon order, including a phone/cup holder for the Kubota ...
Should be here later today.
Located the 1/4" crown stapler and spent most of the day stapling the 1" hardware cloth onto the new screener frame. That was complicated somewhat by the fact that Yellowjackets have made a nest in the shop wall and every time I turn on the lights and AC, they come inside and swarm around the lights. Very annoying.
Might have to do something about that today, since I found the actual location of the nest yesterday:
Directly over the man door ...
Every place where the vertical and horizontal wires crossed (that was over wood) got four 3/4" long staples. Not sure how many staples it took, but it was a bunch and took forever to do. Pretty sure that was how I did it last time and it held up pretty well. Since I used PT wood this time around this one will probably outlast me ...
I did manage to get it finished before knocking off for the day and run a few bucketloads through it:
This one might be a little more efficient, since I used fewer boards and there is more open screen to allow the material to pass through.
Hauled trash up to the can at the road and got it set out.
Helped Woman make a batch of zucchini bread last night, using a new recipe. Was much better, very moist.
Agenda for today:
Probably do some compost/manure screening and get more of it hauled down to amend the soil in the expanded garden area.
Possibly more tilling.
Treat nest entry area around shop man door with Apicide.
Plus whatever else comes up.
New hibiscus blooms:
Hope everyone has a great day ...
