Wrap up my Tuesday: Got the mowing and edging all done, but needed a nap more than I needed to tidy up with the blower. I will do that tomorrow. There are a million sticks fallen on the driveway so I will use the blower to get that mess into piles I can sack up for the trash bin. Good… Read more »

Getting close to shut down time out here in the country. GF up in Philly returned to baby sitting duty upon making it back from a 3 week safari in Africa. She immediate caught a cold from her grand daughter, and her son tested positive for COVID. So by the end of this week, she had a cold, and she… Read more »
E.G. it’s pretty quiet around here – Squawk is working on something, I’m dehydrating eggs, and the Astros are up 6-0 over Phillie, bottom of the 3rd… And he grilled some nice meaty boneless beef ribs – we get to have leftovers tomorrow 😉
No news to speak of. Just checking in. Might try once more before bedtime.

Well, I ran out of steam before I was quite finished. There’s a strip of lawn on the east side of the house that should only take 10-15 minutes to mow, but I wasn’t up to it. I’ll prolly have my usual lunch (sandwich with a side), then take a nap, and then see if I’m able to finish up.
