Coffee anyone ?

If they find a way in you can spray it with the permethrin clothing treatment once a week or so and it helps.

Ahhh, smelling the brew can pour a cup soon.

Garden planting for about 6 hrs yesterday...boy, bending constantly sure triggers your back to scream "no more!!". Yeah, tightens right up. And on my knees, too. Trying to salvage the back. Sooo much fun!! The thoughts running thru my head? Yeah, buying is easier but chemicals not used here. Smaller is better but you need to can for winter, not just eat fresh. You don't need this much but feed to animals, besides too many seed in your stash. I'm hopeless -- but well fed! Did I mention healthy & cheap.....errr frugal. Plus I share with others. All good.

Weather was great, overcast & low 70s, tiny breeze. Plus rain today, so no watering yesterday. Soil was moist anyway. Plus, proud of myself to get it so far along. More to seed but all started plants in the ground. Cardboard & mulch ready. Then reset posts & fence for climber stuff. A LOT of work to garden.

@Skiesblue ... looked up the specs on your tractor out of curiosity, 20 HP and with a front end loader bucket, it will be VERY handy for you... 20 years old so not too old and worn out, and not too new to have all the fancy electronic crap like the new ones... looks about the size of our massey ferguson, but we don't have a loader on that one...
Good for you guys!!!!!!

I make sure it's at least 0800 to 0900 hrs before I crank up my machinery, especially that Cat 977K unless it's an emergency. You know a mile before it gets down the road it's coming as your coffee rattles off the coffee table.
Going to try and get it together today and get ready for this project this weekend. Wish I had it when I did this well, would made things more safe.
Upper 60's today, no rain, but got a few inches in the pig pond yesterday. Going to fight getting the 300 lb belly pan off to get it back together. That piece with the 3 triangles welded to it is the belly pan, it's 3/4" thick steel plate.

Coffee is the starter fluid today - trimmed the ram's hooves yesterday and my hands are sorrrrrrrrrrrrre. Hitting the Premier site and checking out their trimming shears, will order today. Decided I'll get everyone trimmed up and send whatever one I get back for sharpening as soon as I finish. Funny that I'm left handed (nothing wrong with that left) and it's my right hand that's bugging me.
I'll figure who and where I'll be putting out with the ram today. Probably the "old" ewes. LOL need another barn (always something eh?)
Going to tractor the big arena today so it has nice deep and soft ground.
But going to a protea farm tour this morning. Love those flowers and have several plants already. Don't think there will be any for sale there - but if there are ........ .

First day of 90degree temperatures and the AC is not keeping up. Can't wait to get it replaced!

Was the AC new with the house you got last yr or so? Hope warranty

There was a 1year warranty on the installation and we discovered it 18months in. The biggest issue is inside unit can not handle our humid and very dusty environment. Homeowners denied it because it was "improper design".

Current plan is to fix floor and put a package unit outside so no condensate overflows in wall. We should be able to resell the outside unit and electric heat coil sections of existing unit. Those are just undersized.

I just have to say Bay, picturing your dogs panic when they saw you with a face covering...

Anyways, just back from 17 miles of running on the trails in town. Finishing lunch and going to rest for an hour or two. This running thing is tiring, even as a young person.

Only way I'd run that much now would be to save my life !! I'd prob be dead....so save the effort

It's amazing to be able to do that!! Kudos!
