Good morning!!!!

Wife is feeling better after her monthly biological injection last Monday. It is like she is running the gas tank down at the end of the month with lack of sleep and much pain. The cost was 13000 dollars. Hard to believe that the drug company charge that much for just one injection.
I have set her up with a small container garden outside on the patio that she enjoys watering and tending to. She is not able to walk up to the garden with the deer fence so there is some loss to critters on the patio but she loves gardening even if deers and raccoons will take their share

Today is the 4th anniversary of the day I came down with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) so I went up to Pine Grove Furnace where it started.
First we had lunch in downtown Gettysburg. Here is where Lincoln gave his famous speech.

Hiked a short section of the AT next to the AT museum.

Drove around back roads looking at the many log cabins in the woods. Stopped at the ice cream stand, but too many people and the line wasn’t moving.
Went to a restaurant we like for supper.
Drove by the birthplace of Francis Scott Key. Not far from my house.

80F partly cloudy slight breeze,losing day light time this time of year means 3H's increase next couple of months...oh well.

Was slow and very little done and tomorrow shaping up to be the same.

Soon heading for the deck waiting for critters and stars enjoying old fashion popsicle.

Enjoy your evening all.

Good evening. I typed this reply this morning, and it was painfully slow. I would type, took forever for anything to appear. Page refreshed and it all disappeared. This evening, my original post is back…..strange. So edit it a bit and post it,

Been trying to find someone to paint a bike I have been working on. I have struck out with 3 other painters. They all claim to be too busy. Found one yesterday 5 miles from the house. Didn’t even know he was there, and we have several mutual friends! So today will be getting parts ready to go.

And I got everything ready to go. The it was date night and we had a nice dinner at the Tiki Bar outside.

Everyone stay safe out there.

77° but still very humid. Went out and watered garden. Hoed some weeds also. I’ve been weaving tomato plants in and out of the cattle panel when I can. They are growing fast.

Now sitting in front of fan to dry off.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.3C and it's presently 14.1C, mostly sunny with a gentle breeze. Rain expected early tomorrow but the Guess-timaters keep on adjusting the amount I'll receive.

Woke up to find the 'Mad Agisting Horse Woman' out in Paddock #1 looking after her horse "Rum"... very concerned about a weeping eye. Short story is that she's loaded him up (0900) in her float and has taken him to Scottsdale to an equine Vet. That's a good 2 hour (one way) trip. The 2 lane highway (100 kph - "drive to the conditions") is a very twisty road over/through the tiers (semi- mountainous).

It's a fun drive with many switch-backs... not so when hauling a horse-float.

That's about it, take care all.

Good Morning!

god has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

66.2F going to mid 80’s, possible thunderstorms later. Local weather service issued a generic forecast basically saying that this is the forecast for the next two weeks and we’ll let you know if anything changes…

Yeaterday was Mrs’ trip to orthopedist that we dry-ran the trip two weeks ago. The drive was anticlimactic and we got there 40 minutes early. Mom came along and we had early lunch afterward at a good steak place, then went to the big Publix and got stuff our local supermarkets done carry. I have to wndforce the rule that anything bulky we can get locally does not go I. The cart unless it is at least 25% cheaper.

we also did another experiment and left Harry out and he did well for the 7-1/2 hours. YAY!!! It helps that I put a Ring camera with pan/tilt in the living room to monitor the situation. Mrs LOVES the PuppyCam!

need to make appointment for regularly-scheduled maintenance on the pickup, maybe go up the woodlot and do some stuff since it was dry overnight. This week I have to start cutting next year’s firewood, and milling boards for making the porch on the new shed we got a coupl weeks ago.

and now to catch up on two days of GM posts!…

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

 

[KilroyJC]

Hope everyone had a nice 4th.
Neighbors here started setting off fireworks so I remembered I had some in the garage from years ago and thought may as well set them off. One was this cardboard tube you drop these color fused things in. We went out on the porch and I'm in my underwear.
I lit it without reading directions and held it up high. First "BOOM!" and it blew the bottom out. That's when I thought it probably should be on the ground. After quickly setting it down I realized not a good idea setting fireworks off in your underwear...I mean while WEARING underwear.
It was right spectacular and hopefully my beard and other hair will grow back.View attachment 809565

When all else fails, read the directions.

 

[riptides]

71 outside this AM. Heading into the 90s...again. On the agenda today is mowing.
I snapped this turtle pic by our koi-less pond. Need to get the wife's camera out. They hear you coming and slip away.
TGIF gang. Struck out on the beer run. Will try a different direction this AM. The horror...the horror.

 

[Thomas]

Sometime between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon the wheat at the farm was harvested. It didn't look that good to me, kind of beat down and dirty. When I went up after lunch Thursday they were raking straw. It also didn't look that good. Just before I left they were bailing straw.

I got the meadows mowed but I was thinking the mower wasn't cutting that good when I noticed the deck lift pedal was pressed so it was mowing really high. I don't know when that happened or who was responsible but I guess it will be corrected next week.

We are getting peaches from the farm stand and they are gooood. My wife brought in a handful of green beans that looked like the premium beans that you get at a good restaurant. Yum. There are bowls of red raspberries and blueberries on the kitchen counter. I love summer.
