Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

look at this "bug" on her dahlias

oh dear dinner time

Yes - Woman speculates he might be there to dine on some tasty aphids and other bugs which have been eating Her flowers.

I wonder if dahlia bulbs are "sweet" before they open. Very pretty flowers. Very munchable.

I can see RS going to sleep on a lounge chair, guarding his dahlias, while his ice tea drips in the night air, his bb gun in his lap until he is rousted by his wife who knows he will get a stiff neck sleeping like that.

Not gonna happen.

Tell your wife you're on it RS.

She needs to "get on it" with her new scented soaps and bug sprayer that just came in from Amazon.

While you dream of 500 more feet of electric fence.

It's coming ...

Of course you'll have a viewing and feeding station outside.

Of course ... right after I get the greenhouse up ...

If you put out copper pennies, you will attract unicorns.

I want a Pony ...

More rain today, but got a little sun so detoured to see the mill.

Looking at Popgadget's shop I feel like his grandson Luca asking what's this do? and what's this do?
I know most...just not how to use them. Today I puzzled over a super heavy duty powered windlass that pulled cables though long
pipes. Nope, never seen one of those before...but from boating knew it was a windlass. Didn't look like anything I have ever seen
on a boat though.

It’s a Greenlee cable puller. RNG could have used that on his recent project. Makes long wire pulls much easier, especially with heavy gauge wires.

24 bags Quikcrete.

can you rent a mixer David?
And a twenty two year old with big shoulders?...

Yea, day rental from HD unless one pops on CL.

When I was doing my paver drive curbing I would do a pallet (42 - 50lb bags) a pour. I had a wheel barrow in front of the 2 bag electric mixer where I would cut the 50lb bags in half and then dump the 4 - 25lb halves in the mixer and add water with the hose as it was mixing to the right consistency. After about 3-6 minutes of mixing I would pour it into another wheelbarrow and take it to the framed curbing and dump it. 42 bags in a morning.

I should be able to set this up where I mix on one side flip and dump where its going. Area is only 3.5x10ft so not a lot of spreading. Maybe a tough for 2 far corners.

don't kick yourself too hard ... it lasted while it lasted

priorities at the time are always a factor

Yup and this next iteration should outlast me.

Another overlook

My last long pull, over 300ft of service run I just used the tractor, 4 pull boxes.

This would have been the perfect accessory for that job.

As you can see, I have had it a long time, “they don’t make them like that any more”

BEF where did you get off parkway?
