Good morning!!!!

So the chimney bricks were built on top and didn't come down to the floor?

Yep. Mortar mix to the mesh on two sides. Mesh attached to wood. A couple of true 2x10s holding it up. When I got to the bottom...5 whacks with the sledge hammer to get the last bricks to cave in. Built really well.

Good Afternoon Guys,

Mike Z, beautiful old Model A roadster ! If you could see the serial number on the drivers side of the engine, that could possibly tell you what year it is ! Although after 96 years that could well be a different motor ! There is also another stamping on the frame but you need to take the body off !

.....

It was well kept. Looked like last tags were 1993. Inspection or some sort of tax tag...

Without a decent garage here...no more toys. Lol.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 0C with associated light frost. It's presently 3.8C (heading to 16C), slightly overcast and calm.

I'm off to Church in a half hour and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about it, take care all.

Successful, but tiring day. The drip lines are done! Some of those were stubborn and wouldn't pull up without digging a bit. I was actually surprised to find that they were so embedded.

Removed some 5" round landscape timbers that will be in the way of the addition. Those I knew were put in to stay put..... It was 2 rows high, drilled through both, and set with 2' of 1/2" rebar. I had to use my solid steel 6' breaker bar and a block to get them out. I'm going to save separating them and removing the rebar for another day...

Knee started complaining, and the temp shot up to 91°, so called it quits. Knee swelled a good bit. Gonna hit the couch and elevate it.
Can't quench my thirst, drank 1-1/2 gallons today over 6 hours. I guess only 10% humidity will dry it out of you....

I hope everyone has a great evening!

I was thing we were behind for the year. 25.57” so far this year. Normal yearly rain fall is 32.53”. Looks like we are on track to have a normal year. Wish there was a way to share our rain with you.

Good stuffed peppers for supper. She uses meat loaf in them. Wife's been getting more tomatoes ready to can, but more and more get tossed... She made and canned Salsa yesterday. Had some last night, very good.

59°F and clear skies this morning, got up to 89° today. Nice breeze around 5mph made it a very pleasant day.

Used my ninja skills to quietly sneak out to the side yard and rescue the mower this morning. No hornets in sight. Guess they were sleeping in today after all of yesterday's excitement. Got the rest of the front mowed, went inside to rest a bit, then took a terrible nap. But, it was a nap nonetheless.

Found another sting I didn't know I had under my left arm. Doesn't hurt or itch (yet), but it's swollen and red like the others. I swear these things itch worse than chigger bites.

Wife and I wet to Copper Dock Winery near Pocahontas IL for our anniversary dinner this evening. It's where we got married 10 years ago. Good food, good wine, and good live music by a guy with a nice voice playing acoustic guitar and singing, accompanied by another younger guy alternating between electric violin and mandolin. Nice time

Hope everyone is well.

Good evening, gents.

Reached 100 again today. We are at 71 days of 100 degrees or more, if this continues (like buppies says) by September 21 the fist day of Fall, we will have 90 100 degree days. How many days are in summer?
