Good morning!!!!

Rick we have been using Walmart’s service since it began no produce or meat though. Saves time works very well. Fresh Market for produce local meat market for meats

Love Fresh Market as well, just a bit farther to drive for us. Actually just ordered a fresh turkey from them online, 20 plus lbs. I would love to know where you go for your "local" meats, as we haven't found a good source for beef and pork. Thanks

We have that service available at all major stores in our area. Wife has not bought into it yet. Going grocery shopping is one of the few things she does outside the house. When she decides that she cannot do it anymore. I will probably use one of the services that delivers. Sams clubs has just started delivery. Also Kroger.

Same with my wife... says she'd rather pick out her "own" groceries. When I'm on the road for weeks at a time, I order online and have it delivered right to the motel or apt. Can't beat it...

All this progress...
And yet I remember as a kid the milkman, I think just about everyone we knew had milk delivery, just like the newspaper boy. Entenmann’s bakery trucks is one i remember that came around more at reasonable hours. The locally owned grocery store had delivery but you could also pick up. Must have been an upcharge as I remember my parents questioning why people would do that. Must have been popular as I have memories of often seeing one of the owner’s daughters (Doris, and at least 2 or 3 times my age) pleasantly gathering orders as we shopped.

6+ hours of blowing leaves finally done until next weekend.
Second well over flowing something I haven't seen for years,and places have to tippy toe because ground soak.
Nascar little football hot shower country cooking my plans before pillow time.

Enjoy the rest of the day all,

It is a pick up service, not delivery, and as stated, other than oranges, lemons or such, we don稚 get produce through them. We do our meat shopping about once a month, and produce as needed. It saves us a couple of hours a week.

I'm interested in that Service Randy. I'm ok with them picking out package items but what about produce? I like picking out my own. How's produce worked for you!

I’m trying to stop Whipper from jumping the 4’ fence. I put a wire and a pvc in pvc to act as a roller. See pic.

The question I have is should the roller be on the inside or outside edge?

Assuming you want him deflected back into yard I’d say inside
Of course, you could do both

Try it that way and see how she does. Worst case you'll end up fabricating brackets so the roller hangs back into the yard like those barbed wire toppers you see around prison yards. Then you'll need something to fill in the space between the roller and the fence top. Maybe a strand or two of electric fence?

Don, do I remember you saying something about Invisible Fence? Maybe a strand of that along the top as well?

The invisible fence has to be in a loop with wires 4 feet apart. The wire would go on the top rail and one in the ground at the base. The wire would have to go to the garage for an enclosed area for the controller. Whipper would have to be trained to respect the "flags" and wear a pronged color that should not be on more than 12 hours a day or skin problems will occur. The color batteries also need replacing. I'm trying to keep it less technical and simple but It will be used if this fails.

Gray two went on an adventure today but I saw his escape and was hot on his trail. We were both running across the back yard, along the side yard into the neighbors front yard, back along the side yard, and across the back yard and he stopped on a chair on our patio - that rascal.
