Hi old pharts! @Jimi I just watched this documentary and thought of you. It's really good and exposes some untruths about the high carb/low fat diets that have been pushed thoughout the years. It has a segment on a person who had a cancer diagnosis and cured herself.

I think I'm the day shift, Robert is the 18-hour shift, and all the rest of you folks are the night shift. We've got a rotation going for sure.

For years my husband fussed at me for staying up too late at night. Now I can't stay up much past 10 pm. Just does me in the next day, because for sure, at 2:30 or 3:00 am, my hiney is going to be awake, in my living room, with the TV or laptop on, for at least an hour. Very rarely do I sleep through the night.

Anyway, I hope you're all snoozing away, getting your much-deserved rest and recuperation. Have a wonderful Sunday.

Made some plywood pads that will sit down on sawhorses. They have a 3 inch deep groove on each end of the bottom so they will fit on sawhorse beams. Glued and screwed and solid :)

One is for my little tabletop table saw and the other for my sliding compound miter saw. Have them bolted to the pads now to make some saw horses :D

Our squash is blooming now. Looks like the garden might be OK this year. All we got out of it last year was a few bell peppers. But then, we started it late.

Dontcha know that thinking will get you in trouble?
Given that I do that constantly, even to the abstracts of the abelian grape, it is no wonder I am always in trouble with someone.

about 88-90..
We actually hit 82 degrees here in the great white north. Of course with winds 40 mph gusting to 55, it did not feel that warm.

I must have 200+ green cherry tomatoes, I'm going to pick a bag of them next weekend to pickle (ferment I mean).

Damn...go from snow to 80+ in a week....well at least that will certainly make the grass grow like hell.

The mesquite trees here tell us when the frost is over and done with.
Needles returning I assume.....same here, but they grew new needles about a month and a 1/2 ago.

Seems like the mesquite just shed about half the needles, and begin growing new the same week.

Mesquite needles? They have tiny leaves, and thorns. We planted one when we moved into his house.

And all that white shit is now gone from the garden (although there are still a couple 2-foot drifts in the north tree rows, but the cows will have to deal with that, not me), so if the wind will just be less than gale force tomorrow, I plan to be out there ripping up all the old dead stems from last Fall and pulling weeds and carting it all off to the burn piles.

How big of a garden do you have? I assume quite large?

Lannie can the proceeds?

It's about 50 feet by 80 feet and surrounded by 8-foot fencing (keeps the deer out) and lilac hedges on west and north (wind reduction and tomato shade) with wild plum trees south side (shade and wind reduction) and various other deciduous trees on the east side, but sparse enough to allow sunrise shining on everything. Lannie cans whatever we don't gobble during Summer.

Mixed up some Cromwell custard today....in one bottle....THEN...I added apple pear and dragon fruit to the other bottle of custard....damn that is tasty.
If it's half as good as my pear wine, more power to you. I'm hoping to get enough peaches off the tree this year to make at least a small batch of wine from them.
