Chris, I saw some local rye that was a very pretty green. I remember remarking to a friend that I liked rye bread.

got my outside chores done, currently have battery charger on rv truck battery, the new one, to make sure it was all the way charged.
Didn't take long before the all green light came on.
House batteries are kept charged by a converter, as I keep rv plugged into garage outlet.

I guess if I wanted to put the charger on them, would hooking up to just one work since they are ganged?
or better positive on one and negative on the other?

(if I did that would turn off master battery disconnect first)

Morning all, 76 and according to weatherunderground a high of 75?? Rain in the forecast.
Got the blowers out to clean up the driveway and front steps and worked more on the pool. Almost ready, just need some more salt (!) and a few other chemicals.

Sodamo- sorry about your flail issues, painful when you depend on things to work.

KC - loud boom and house shake for us is just another Ash falling in the forest. I still go out and look, but most are deep in the woods now, find them on my maintenance hikes. I call them toothpicks, sticking up about 20 feet.

Drew - make sire you can connect TV etc. before verizon guy leaves. Be careful using two chargers for one unit, not balanced could lead to problems.

Spike56 - place I worked at in the 80's was working on starwars laser. Looks like they are still working on parts of that. Gotta be spending big $.

Gotta get stuff done, sons new GF is showing up and her dad wants to check us out. SO there is good parenting going around.

Be well,

Guess this is a comment on my BBQ skills?

Good morning! Low of 48°, going up to only 66°. Heavy clouds this morning should have some precip falling from them this afternoon. More of the same for tomorrow.

Yesterday's appointment went well, then got the Blue Atlas Cedar planted. Also transplanted another larger Lilac out of a big planter. Didn't get to take a walk with the string trimmer.... maybe today.

Initial plan for the day was to use the hedge trimmer to give a couple of Spanish Brooms a haircut.... they are supposed to be 'evergreen', but I think we get too cold...
Every year, they brown out about 90% down to the base. Going to try trimming them down to see if they recuperate any faster.....

And, get started on building the next planters......

Need to make another shelf for the greenhouse.... running out of usable space. Everything that was started or overwintered is now outside. The new transplants, seed starters, and young seedlings are in there now.

Lots of planting to be done this season....

Probably not all of these, but a good amount will be ready for planting soon.

Everyone have a great day!

Afternoon All!
69 going to a sunny 75!
Neck is doing better after 13 days of taking it easy and meds! Managed to get the mower running for the season and cut the weeds! Hung around in the wood shop and finished a Sycamore bowl I've been working on.
Heading out to a birthday party for one of my numerous great nieces. Sometimes having 8 siblings with all their offspring is a challenge. I'm in charge of picking up two sheet pizzas.
That's all for now.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

txdon, if you can get D-earth then dust your potato plants with that. I will kill the bugs on the leaves.
Thanks, but no need to now. These potatoes were planted in Late February and with no killer freezes since then they are ready to harvest as soon as the ground dries a bit. The raised garden drains well so just 48 hours without rain and I will start pulling.

The "Farm" closed this morning because of the rain but this afternoon is still pending.
