What's everybody doing today?

[squirrelhunter]

Sorry about your Cockatiel!! Glad Annie is getting a new house!

Thank you.

 

[squirrelhunter]

It's that sucky kinda day. No luck on the two houses we put offers on, and wrote my letter resigning from the cat shelter, they posted no weapons allowed on all the doors.

On to the next opportunities.

I wouldn't work there either then.

Time to get a horse!!

Not me, and Lori has one. I'll go ride my Scooter.

It was easier to quit, I was a volunteer

No Paycheck involved.

 

[Hooch]

That’s a great idea. I might have to try that.

So far they are working..I need to adjust the hole or knot in one..it took two days for the gallon jug to deplete itself..
I guess if one needs a super slow bleed like for a weekend getaway..that would work great but I'm just needing to keep it moist until the next watering in the hitter weather

Star needs a friend, you looked good in that picture of you sitting on her! You can name the horse Scooter!!

I have been working projects as the weather directs. When there is no threat of rain I worked on the boxes on The Ridge. While turning over one bix I found a bunch of small potatoes. I never noticed the plants hiding in the forest of weeds.

I had planted suds a few years ago hoping to establish a potato mound. They were too small to harvest so I buried them. I have a hard time destroying plants so let's see if they come back next year.

When I have a day of dodging rain I have been weeding and harvesting. I cleaned up the garlic that has been curing.

I sorted by size so I have good sized cloves to plant out in September. The Princess then had freedom to gather from the remaining bulbs to gift to her fellow workers. She bought in Egyptian Walking onions last week.

Another 4x4 box of garlic was lifted today.

I noticed some of the heirloom onions had dropped their tops. I gathered them and was not happy with the results. I tossed most of them after discovering what may be onion flies.

So far the damage is limited to just one or two varieties. I will have to keep my eyes pealed because I have a good number of other onions that are getting close.

The good news is I am learning about onion flies now and not after the SHTF.

I slept the day away again. I must sleep 18 hours a day!

Today when the grandkids were playing outside by the woodshed they came across a rattlesnake. The snake struck at the boy but missed. I got my gun that I leave hanging by the back door and shot it.

Cypress Bayou. (they got good free whiskey! )
Have been to the Coushatta casino several times.

Next time you're at Coushatta, if you pop in to Cyberquest give a shoutout to the tech guy Mitch (he's my best friend). Also shoutout to my brother Dave.

I'm catching up on stuff. My video card must have needed to cool off because it started working again but computer didn't want to boot up at first. I think its having issues with something- not sure what. It had a message about fan speed error. Friend recommended building a new pc.

I need a new computer-- well, mostly new parts. Ordered a new case & a wall-mount shelf. I'll put it where the cats can't reach it. I'm going to put it on top of the blocking on the wall where

Spent most of the day researching computer parts after having problems with my computer. Is there a section to discuss tech stuff? I want to make a thread about my potential computer build.

Waiting for Mom's laundry to finish drying so I can take it to her room and fold it.

Did go to the lake yesterday , we had fun. It was nice floating in the lake in the warm weather.
Back to work today, have some sheep to deworm. Bad storms last night so the sheep went into the barn, so I can catch and deworm them today.
Also need to do some laundry of the wet stuff from yesterday that didn't dry.
And the house is going to get cleaned today if there is time left.

We usually use a shovel for those , glad the boy didn't get bit. That's a terrible thing. I worked with a surveyor that got bit clearing some brush . He almost died and lost a large chunk of flesh on his forearm. Those things scare me and I don't dislike snakes

 

[sonya123]

My favorite drink and favorite to make! Also, make a killer Hurricane. Probably because I am from FL. LOL

Where in Florida are you from? Do you miss it? My daughter does ( born there too and grew up there). I don't . EVER LOL

 

[ABR]

Gonna be a long day hauling cattle. Be leaving about 7am and home sometime before midnight. Gonna stop and have lunch with my dad along the way.

 

[Amish Heart]

Last full day with sister, she leaves tomorrow. Got mom started on hospice yesterday, ordered her gravestone, and got the mennonite church paid for the burial spot. Little granddaughter's swim lessons today, and the last of my physical therapy on my leg. I think sis wants to see my favorite cousin, so we'll pop in over there at some point. I know she wants to see mom, too. Husband's last day of IV antibiotics, and doc appt tomorrow. Hotter than heck here....garden is drooping, lost another chicken yesterday.

Glad y'all got to go do something fun and relaxing!!

 

[Pearl]

Just the usual, going to work! Hotter than Hades here again! Not much happening outside except keeping the animals watered.

 

[Tommyice]

Was up at 3:30 am. Got too cold so turned off the ceiling and oscillating fans. Skies were clear enough (after another smoky day) to see Venus through the window as I lay in bed. The loons were talkative around 4:30. Finally went back to sleep and got up about half an hour ago.

Trying to convince dad he needs to cook breakfast. I want soft-boiled eggs and when I cook them they are always hard boiled.

 

[Frodo]

Big day today, going to have all my teeth pulled

Then seeing my lung dr

 

[Mountain trapper]

Got the AC guy coming out today to see why the system isn't blowing cold air. It'll probably be in the 80's again today.

Gods bless you man! I haven't had the guts to do that yet!

Surprised you guys have AC out there. We were debating putting up mini splits, but after this week with temps reaching high 90's and only cooling off to 65 at night, we are definitely doing it.

Congratulations!

I had all of mine pulled about 2.5 years ago. Glad I did.

Watered outside, and re-wrapped the cold line to the external Luxaire A/C unit on the west side of my home... the original insulation had degraded or deteriorated to the point where it was worthless, so I stripped all of that and wrapped the line with nice new insulation, then taped it up so it'll last awhile. Just trying to maximize efficiency of the A/C system during this ongoing heat wave. I've been meaning to do this for weeks now, just finally got around to it today, but at least I can cross it off the long list of home rehab tasks still to be done, lol. Now I'm down to only a mere 547 tasks, AYE?

I'm also doing laundry right now and drinking a cold beer, I realized I was getting low on socks & boxer shorts... I often wear boxers inside my home, it saves me from going through a bunch of clothes every week. I really wish I could find more of those baggy OD (Olive Drab) boxer shorts the Aarrrrrghmy used to issue to soldiers, those shorts were great! Seems like all the boxer shorts sold nowadays are the gay bun-huggin' type, not the good ol' baggy kind provided by the Army. It could be a 'Chinese size' thing too, where a pair of XL shorts actually means XS in America, pffffffft.

Meh, I'll keep looking for baggy shorts... as an old school skateboarder, rock climber, dirt biker, etc, I gotta have freedom of movement, ya know? No bun-huggin' f@gtard shorts wanted here, lol... I ain't livin' on "The Fruit Loop" in Balboa Park! That was supposedly where queers went looking for action in ****, due to the park's proximity to the gay ghetto in that **** $h!thole, lol. Hillcrest, that was the name of the ghetto... locals on the beach called it Fudgecrest, aye? What a dump that place was too... suitable for Epic F@gtard Darwin Failures, but that's about it.

Oh, well, none of that Kalifornia BS matters now, I'm livin' in the boondocks with normal folks (i.e. rednecks), lol. I don't think there's a 'Pride Parade' in Alamo, none of the locals would bother going to it, lol. Some drunken ***** behind the wheel of his pickup truck, impatient to get to the liquor store, might plow through those f@gtards like tenpins, lol... now THAT might be worth seeing, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Post the video on JewTube, lol. "GIVE THAT MESCALERO APACHE A GOOD CITIZENSHIP MEDAL!!!" Post the interview: "ME SCALPUM F@GTARDS WITH PICKUP TRUCK!!!"

Okay, I'm having too much fun here, and it's time to grab another beer outta the fridge... this laundry is thirsty work!

 

[Magus]

Finally paid my bills and got some steel for Frodo's knife.
then it rained and here I sit. LOL

I giggled at the 'only cooling down to 65° part. That is the absolute warmest temperature we heat our house to in the winter. Usually we go cooler.

That being said, we are wearing winter clothes to avoid spending half the winter changing clothes to go outside.

Our day time temps are averaging 95 -102 F with the house at around 68 F with no air conditioning. It feels pretty cool inside. I put on a long sleeved shirt after being outside.

Yep. We have central heat and AC, with a heat pump. For AC I run the heat pump off a separate generator. AC is a beautiful thing. Living off grid doesn't mean doing with out comforts. Today's high is around 80 degrees.

You know cat urine is an excellent way to kill a computer.
