I've heard of fried pickles but not raw Cukes. Who knows, you might invent a new favorite! I'm down to a few mis shaped yellow looking things, and will till soon. What are your sprinkles you put out?

It is 3/4 inch pvc pipe staked with a T post and a garden sprinkler that screws on top. The pipes are connected about 3 ft underground and I have a total of 9. I can only have 3 running at once due to water pressure.

You might be able to add a booster pump, provided that you have enough volume, to run all 9 at once. Or you could split your system in to 2 or 3 zones.
 
It's Sunday afternoon, the end to my 3day weekend :(. I got a lot done off my list, but left some things that still need attention. I just can't seem to get excited about changing the motorcycle oil. (Can't imagine why)? I did get the garden tilled and replanted for the fall crops, yeah! I also got more framing done on the front porch, and put up sheathing on one end. It's so hot here in ga. right now that everything outside is slow going. I still try to do a little early in the morning before it feels like an oven.
 
Good for you getting your fall garden already planted. I still have another month and a half to go before I can get mine in, but adding in about 12 dump truck loads of dirt that we got when the county finally dug out our ditches around here. Hadnt ever seen them come out in the 13 years we have been here and hunny actually had to call. . . then it took another year and a half of hunny calling. Even though we are high, in a heavy rainfall, we will flood but it tends to drain off quickly. When we have several days worth, sometimes it stands and that is not a good thing for us or my goats

brookshire brothers,(food store) has a game going on.in which i won 1 free sun liquid detergent and $1.00 off del dixi pickels.im deffently stocking them..:D plus the game peices with pin numbers on them is getting played as well..now it's time for me to print some cupons..
 
My instinct says to buy one young calf to raise for meat. In reality, I'd end up with a fifteen hundred pound pet

Yep me too, that' how I have 3 rabbits. (I separate them, which is why I don't have MORE rabbits).
 
Just got back from St Augustine FL . Had a great time , historic old city . Spanish fort was great and the old Hospital . Got some good prepping ideas for a herb garden from the hospital . Lots of time on the beach , some of the best beaches I have seen . Long drive then went straight back to work .
 
Well, i just came back from the bow tech. I really am too easy of a target for all kinds of commercials and incentives. All i came in for was a new string for my compound. What i walked out with was a new sight, stabilizer, peep, get the bow tuned, and a dozen new arrows... jeez... i really need to develope self controll when it comes to shopping... oh look, a 30% off coupon from gander mountain... i could use some new hunting gear...

I grew up near Daytona beach, but always thought it was kind of dirty and too touristy. St Augustine was always my favorite. I also loved all the historical buildings. Being the oldest city in the country is kind of cool.

I've been to Daytona Beach a few times on business and thought the same thing. Was a little disappointed with Daytona, but found some nice places not far from there.

I really like the west coast of fla. much more laid back and peaceful. I used to ride along the panhandle and Appalacola.
 
Also my hunting gear arived today. Got a pair of pants, long sleeve shirt, skull cap and bow hunter gloves on clearance and an additional 30% off the entire order. 250$ worth of gear for 70$.... Gotta love coupons.
 
On another note i also got my treestand hung, trailcam out today and have a food plot going. October first cant come early enough. Its about time that i get my bow back from the bow shop.
 
Stoped by the local Walmart and they had thier Black hawk tactical gear on clearance 1/2 price . I got a tactical stock and forearm for my Remington 870 shotgun , push dagger , foregrip for any weapon with a rail , shotgun light / laser mount . They also had thier AR,s and tactical shotguns on sale .
 
They had some great prices on hunting rifles there the other day...definitely on my Christmas list. That and a security camera system.

Those are my two of my "big" items (I'll typically get at least one "big" present from the wife). The other big item on my list is a decent sized (about 46") HDTV to use for a gaming table (but that's a whole geek/nerd fest story of it's own).

Ok, that last paragraph was just rambling...end of the day and all that.
 
Managed to get some .22 LR and 5.56 green tip ammo this week to add to my stock, and a backorder of .45-.70 bullets came in for reloading. Its still hard to find .22 ammo, but just about everything else is pretty much available.
 
I got the sheathing mostly up on my front porch! It is south facing and I am closing it in to help with both heating and cooling the house. In the winter I plan to generate heat through the six windows, and let it into the house. In the summer I will open the tops of the windows to let heat out and use the shade to help keep the house from getting as hot. I also plan to use pots in each window to grow some stuff like spinache and chives that I like daily. This weekend I hope to have it wrapped in the moistur barrier and the windows installed. Trim and fiber cement siding come next. One of these days I need to take one off!
 
Just bought my Wife a new Chevy Cruz . It was time to get something else , I will take her Chevy Blazer and park my old work car . I may camo it and add it to my prepps .

I just brought home the hardi trim boards and a few more 2x4's in preparation for the weekend. I hope to have everything done in preparation for the hardi plank to go up by the end of the weekend, but we will see how hot it is outside! I'm not as dedicated as I used to be. As long as I see some progress I'm ok with going a little slower.
