Growing up .. we reserved about 1/4 acre for sweet corn and planted pumpkins, water melon (2-3 varieties) in same area .. since all was picked by hand. I think we tried cantaloupe a couple of years. Don't recall that they did well?

Cucumbers were in the main garden.

I sure would like to have a yellow meat Black Diamond this summer. They cant be found in grocery stores anymore.

Anyone tried watermelon, cantaloupe, etc. in a raised garden?

Since we have a new federal holiday, do I need to go to work tomorrow?

Another beautiful day.

I started to mow the remainder of the field, then son came out to finish it. Gave me time to pick up trimmed tree limbs with ranger. Also ran the riding mower after airing one tire that leaks. Had to jump start it. Want to take it to my dad, his been acting up.
Put my trailer mover on tractor, moved my trailer. Got new metal license plate bracket for it also. Got a wire holding the plate on now. Impact on the nuts just turning the bolts from the taillights.

They both do well. The watermelon vines do tend to leave the raised bed area.

Good Morning.
Is 64 and going up about 10 degrees at most. Sunny and a nice breeze. My kind of day. So far my comparison between the Davis and Tempest shows that the rain either agrees, or the Tempest reports high, sometimes by a large margin.

Yesterday’s trip went well, the weather and ATC was kind to us. The thunderstorms were not in lines, just scattered about and easy to avoid with ATC’s cooperation. Here’s what one looks like like from a hundred miles away at cruise altitude. The top of this one was over 45,000 feet.

They look so pretty and benign, they’re destructive power is pretty well concealed.

I got a call while I was getting turned around in the Bahamas that an old friend and hangar neighbor crashed the plane that he built near my local airport. He was airlifted from the scene, but when I got home I learned that he didn’t survive. He was 79, and a Naval aviator, later retired from TWA. A superb pilot and a certificated aircraft mechanic. The plane that he built was pristine, a work of art. I have no idea what could have happened, there are reports of an inflight fire, but do detailed or accurate information yet.
I am still digesting the news, it’s not easy to process.

Youngest son wants to go out for breakfast, so I’m going to get moving, not much else planned for today other than shop time.

Condolences for your friend. Sad.

Don, sad about whipper. Folks, Don wasn't a big lover of animals at first, but whipper wouldn't give up on him, once she adopted Don and Caren(sp?), she was in it to win it. Hope her treatment helps out.

Hot outside. Yaris has a check engine light on way home. Believe it needs an oil pressure solenoid that activates the cam timing. I have one on the way for $23. I've ordered new plugs, air filter, cabin air filter for it. Might need to clean the throttle body too.

Ordering me a new 12v test light. Can't seem to find my old one. My buddy says to sprinkle them around your shop like reading glasses.
Amazon.com: Heavy Duty 3-48V Backlit Digital LCD Circuit Tester, Test Light with 140 Inch Extended Spring Wire, Car Truck Low Voltage & Light Tester with Stainless Probe: Industrial & Scientific

Grass is growing well. Almost too well. Need to mow.

RNG, staying busy as usual I see. Be careful.

Nice photos y'all. Love the color on that 'stang.....and the frogs and flowers.

Prayers for our team. Bupps, hope you get uncovered from so much work soon.

Up a bit too early....
43° right now...high in the low 80's today...

Gave my audit report yesterday, so no need to rehash that. Did have to push back on a couple things during the course of the day and that went well
The auditors will do a little auditing today (probably about 2 hours), then write their reports and present that at the closing meeting.

 

[scaredychicken]

Roy - you'll be all ready for a relaxing weekend

 

[ronjhall]

Poured first cup of coffee. 65° with rain this morning. Heading to 80° with chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Got my grocery shopping done and gave Sassy a bath. Always a challenge keeping her in the wash tub. Also topped off diesel storage tank. $3.14 a gallon. Going to visit my Aunt that lives in Port Huron today.
Turkey hen came back to yard with her Poults. Most of them are in the tall grass.

Roy, I have a metal can of Dykem that must be 30 years old. Hope the rest audit goes well.

Don, good Whipper is already starting to improve with meds.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Thomas why do you think I take naps?
