Honestly Rich not worth a shit but things are getting better now
how are you doing my friend?
Sorry about the tail bone...Things are starting to get a little better here
several days ago I fell square on my butt and think I broke my tail bone
so I have had my share of sucky
sounds like you have had a full day for an old phart my friend
Yep this is my first oneI can remember many a day standing over the mortar box with a hoe, what a delight a mixer would of been
Yeah, ya have to have an edger to make those nice professional rounded edgesYep this is my first one
Have to pick up an edging tool tomorrow. Have floats and such.
Me neither.
We are old, Jimi, and as such, we are entitled to complain constantly (or so I have heard).Well now that I am done complaining
Well good luck buddy I know you'll do a fine job.Me neither.
wish me luck
have only been a grunt helper on limited concrete work in the past.
Been watching some Youtube vids on the subject though.
I iz an eggspurt now
Ohh need a brush thingy to texture the surface since it is a handicapped access.
You two have had a bad string of luck, sorry about the dog and the kitties, sounds just like old phart luckWe are old, Jimi, and as such, we are entitled to complain constantly (or so I have heard).
As for me, I have a continual SSDD thing going on. Favorite doggie died, then a couple days ago, a new kitten got himself stuck outside during a nasty thunderstorm and when we found him, we thought he was dead (very cold, very wet), but noticed he was still barely breathing, so I sat in the garage for a couple hours drying him and giving him my body heat and some energy. Thought he might recover because he perked up, but the next day he died. Then an old cat we have had for about 18 years walked off into the wild and never returned. I suspect she went to find a place to die (cats seem to prefer to die alone). And, as you might have already read here, the Bobcat engine blew up right after the final snow storm and I am still looking to finance the $3-4000 it will cost to get a new engine. And the "to do" list just keeps getting longer because the weather is not cooperating and... and on and on and on... and both of us have more pains than we can handle and... Oh well, such is life for old pharts.
. I remember Bob ailing and hope you find a good replacement heart for him. Yes that dreaded old phart to do list, mine is so long I trip on it
I like idea, takes the pressure off us
That should work... I asked Lannie what we had for dinner last night because I truly did not remember. Sigh...
Indeed, Jimi...and how have you been doing lately?
Our forecast suggests that we will have afternoon/evening thunderstorms every day for the next week. NOT normal for South Dakota.
Not too bad, broke my tail bone again
so I am taking it easy, luckily I am using a lap top so I am laying down now
We've had more rain this year than usual here too, should be a good onion year
It's been getting humid here lately, quite odd for June....usually not until the middle of July humidity begins kicking in. The overcast skies lately are an anomaly too.
Did you plant any Garlic?
Sure did, planted about 75 or 80 cloves, gonna cut some some scapes soon
Right on.....that shit has some real health benefits.
I love the taste of garlic on everything too
How do you cool your melons when several come at one time? Watermelon rind had more nutrients than the fruit inside
First time I've ever grown melons, I have no idea what I'm doing.....but I have pickled watermelon rind in the past, good stuff.
And it keeps the vampires away... or mother-in-law or sister-in-law or something like that...
I do have a vampire problem, seems they are always wanting a piece of my armAnd it keeps the vampires away... or mother-in-law or sister-in-law or something like that...
Now your talking real eating
I am gonna try to ferment some of my homegrown garlic, I have some elephant garlic new this year too, supposed to get huge
Oh wow, haven't even heard that term in years, forgot all about elephant garlic
Have a good un Jimi...yak tomorrowWell, I am gonna call it a night and try to get some much needed sleep my friends so hope to see you tomorrow
Same differenceAnd it keeps the vampires away... or mother-in-law or sister-in-law or something like that...
Damn near every time I have to see the doctor, they send me to some place they call "The Lab," which is a just a secret code they use for "Vampire Cave" because they always steal blood from my arm. I have called them "vampires" to their faces and they just grin and tell me to hold steady, this won't hurt much... good thing this body can make lots of blood because I lose some of it nearly every day here on the farm too. Oh well...
Have a good one, Rich...!
Have a good one too, Bob...!
Was driving toward home at 12:30 today, the temp was about 95....which is generally absolutely unheard of during the middle of June, should be at least 105+++. Was watering my self growing garden tonight, felt almost chilly after the lawn sprinklers went off, evap cooling ta-boot.....gorgeous day.....
I hear that one, Crom.
Sounds like you had a pretty fucked up day.............
And after morning chores, the two of us tried cleaning all the shit out of the cow barn. Lannie forked and I pushed the wheelbarrow outside through deep mud to dump it. Both of us gave into our pains after only getting about a third of it cleaned up. To be continued after a couple days recuperationSounds like you had a pretty fucked up day.............
.
Sorry to see you bedding down so early, but it makes sense. Drive safely and don't work too hard.Have a good one all, have to be in Tucson at 8:00 tomorrow......
