Spent the afternoon picking up limbs and mowing areas that I only mow 4-5 times a year.
Was about as tall as my riding mower

Humidity so high here, it feels like Florida. At least I was able to sweep the pecan pollen strings off the roof and use em for fertilizer.
That's just too hot for this earlyWas in the 90's, but it's supposed to cool off again, possibly record low high temps....

I would rather die than eat celery, well get real sick at least.
Horrible stuff.
A bitter gene thing I suppose.
Evening Robert,how you been my friend
Evening y'all.
Evening Rich.
Have 40mph gusts today, Rich?
Good thing it's a dry heat,It's not to hot for Death Valley, hell we're usually in the low 100's by now......
Compared to a high of 85 with 70% humidity...
Take the SIL shopping today?Ohh pretty well all things considered.
I could bitch about several things but will not
That's enough for any man to take up heavy drinking or popping goof-balls......
How have you and Phil doing?
That just sounds nasty, any time of year
Nope had a day off from travelling.Take the SIL shopping today?

Back to that tomorrow. Wife unit stuff though.
He has an appt coming up with a different heart doc, since the last one kept dicking around and wouldn't tell him shit.
It's so hard to find any doctor that's worth a shit anymore let alone one you can trust, that's out of the question for me
I had a doctor I trusted but turns out I was wrong.
He went into politics and pretty much gave up medicine.
So not worth a shit

A nurses aide was able to look at an EKG and tell a valve was opening prematurely. When a bona fide heart surgeon would not tell him that, it was time to find u someone else. He went to the clinic I go to, and hopefully gets shit done about it.
Weird day for wind... blowing pretty hard in the morning - 25-30 mph - I said I could not do another fire in this wind so Lannie asked if I could get on the roof and goop those cracks. Nope, not in this wind. How about mowing? Well, everything needs mowing now, so even though I knew my hair and ears would be full of grass and dirt in this wind, I went ahead with that option. I mowed the north yard, then the dog yard, the south yard, and the SW corner... about halfway through that, the wind dropped to about 10 mph. I mowed the driveway verge and parked the Cub Cadet to take a vape break. My left foot was hurting something awful and I realized gas had been dripping on/in my shoe and my foot was red, swollen, and burning. I changed socks and shoes and went out and got on the TroyBilt and mowed the Commons and Dandelion Alley, then dragged some limbs to the burn pile. Wind had dropped to 2 mph (and stayed there the rest of the day) and temp was up to 83 and it was time for dinner anyway. Put away your toys and have some homemade tater salad and fried chicken, then go do evening chores (first, fill the damn chicken bin). Yup, another day on the farm...
Gas leaking from the new mower?.....from what?
I have discovered the reverse-psychology ploy works pretty good. I read a lot about my body's problems, so when the docs are looking at something and not saying much, I suggest what it could be and make them argue with me. At least that way I get their opinion about what is most likely the case.It's so hard to find any doctor that's worth a shit anymore let alone one you can trust, that's out of the question for me
Gas cap apparently not screwed down tight enough so every bump I hit, a little bit splashed out.
Well that's better than other things it coulda been.....
Yep on the dirt and such flying while I was mowing today.
Just wore ear goggles and a cap.

Some times us dumb old bastards get in too much of a hurry. I suppose that ain't much different than the bloody cut on my right arm today. If I'd been going a little slower, maybe I could have ducked lower and that branch wouldn't have snagged me. Oh well, life's a bitch so just get on with it.

Like Snoopy when he would pretend to be Red Baron?
Been having a bit of gas leakage problems while sitting here.
Made a big spaghetti supper tonight and pigged out.
Homemade sauce, garlic bread and a big ol salad.

Ear goggles? Is that something like hearing protection? I have something like that stashed somewhere near my reloading equipment, but given I am already deaf, I seldom ever even think about it. Oh well...
Nope wish I had one of those caps though.
Had one but lost it in my workshop.
Was just a Mt Dew ball cap and Harbor Freight ear goggles.
Yep headphone style hearing protectors.
I wear them when working with loud stuff (except the SIL).
Weed eaters, chainsaws and even mowing but I wear earbuds under them usually and rockout with an MP3 player.
I put a USB charge port in my riding mower.
Might have to add GPS to it so I do not get lost as I get older
going to put a boat seat on it, that little thing that comes on them sucks.
had a nice boat seat on my old Gravely.
Mine are leftover from when I played range master at the central Orygun shooting sport assn... they were amplified so you could have a conversation, but the second they detected a BANG, they went dead for a minute. Don't know if my riding mower makes enough noise to turn them off, but I suppose I could just not turn them on in the first place,
Had a pair of that type. Like the regular ones better.
I also have a pill bottle of those little sponge thingys I keep in my chainsaw case.
My hearing is still pretty good.
Sometimes better than I would like
Well bedtime for Cromwell.
Nite all.
Nite all.
I use mine when noise is loud enough to give me a headache. It's funny when ppl think I can't hear them.
Lannie hears a yellow belly chirping a couple hundred yards away and I couldn't hear it with both hearing aids cranked up to maximum. She can hear a pin drop during a hurricane and without my hearing aids, the building would have to be rocking before I even knew there was a storm.
LOL! "Thunder? What thunder?"
CRRRRRAAAAAACCCKKKKKKKK!!!!
"Oh, that thunder..."
I'm always sitting bolt upright and saying, "What was that?" I think Rich thinks I do it just to annoy him
but when one or both of the dogs also sit up and perk their ears, at least I have corroboration. It usually turns out to be a cat knocking something over.
Damn, it was a beautiful day today, have the doors and windows open tonight, feels like it's in the 60's.....astonishing for the middle of May. Supposed to dip into the 50's the next couple nights....gotta love it.....
The summer will be over with before it arrives.......

Nice day here. Got up to mid 70's and pretty sunny with a nice breeze.
had to go mow the Wife units friends place today, then mowed mine, weeded a flower bed and gave the weiner dog a bath...
Had a pretty good thunderstorm about dark thirty.
Off to bed now I think.
