The wife and granddaughter picked some blackberries this morning. They were big a sweet. Got the water going in the orchard. Only gassed 1 gopher hole. I might be getting the gophers under control finally.
Got a couple cords of firewood in on Saturday. I need to start splitting it soon, but I noticed the wood splitter has a hydraulic leak that I need to fix.
It's almost up to 70 degrees here already with a nice breeze out of the north, might hit 80 later. I'm getting a little tired of this heat.

I’ve been doing ok using thrift books.
Yeah! @Mountain trapper I’m tired of the heat too!! It’s about 100 F. 39% humidity
 
It'll be 90's this afternoon, and I finished all the animal and garden work, so inside work this afternoon....bread to make, two buckets of tomatoes to wash, sort...some for the freezer, peppers to fill up the dehydrators with, upstairs family room to clean, more laundry to do. Putting ribs into the crock pot for dinner. Deciding what to do with the big box of yummy peaches. Husband and pup are napping.
 
Just sitting back enjoying a cigar while the wife is working out in the berry patch. Can't do anything else on the coop until I get the rest of the lumber and the 1/2"×1" wire to go over the window openings. We have a nice breeze blowing in some clouds right now. It's 72 degs outside and no smoke yet today. Perfect working weather.
 
Laundry and watching the rain fall LOL

Today: I’m sick and tired of being an alcoholic and a cigarette smoker. I could have a few good years left in me… I mean I don’t have any health issues, but those two things are killing me. The ‘news’ doesn’t help… lol?

Time for some changes!!😉
 
Forget about the news. Make your sobreity the most important thing. If the news is bad, stop watching, listening and reading it if it triggers you.

If you haven't heard this already, there's a first time for everything. You have to hit bottom before you decide you've had enough. You're the only one who can decide if you've had enough yet. If you already know this, it didn't help to know it again. Put it into action. Do it. Go to an AA meeting and get involved. Don't try to be a rock star, they will put you in your place which will likely tick you off and send you out drinking again, unless you've had enough and are ready to listen.
:callyou:Get phone numbers, get a sponsor. Go to as many AA meetings as you can. Travel to do it, go to other towns. And if this ticks you off, that's okay too. We care about you.
 
Went to work, got my company car, reviewed my assignment, gained access to a person's home, relieved him of some personal property, damaged some personal property, transported some personal property to another employee of the firm, watched as that personal property was examined, was instructed that my work day had ended, collected my pay day and drove home. I also learned to NEVER leave the city without first texting the lady, who invited me over like 5 minutes after I sat down on the patio. ARRGH! I am going to try and hold out until tomorrow. Abba give me strength.

It’s just one of those things I had to put there, in the universe. Shouldn’t be a big deal, I probably have plenty of company.

Maybe I’ll post later about forward progress in life.

But it is a big deal. It could ruin your life, or someone else's. And getting sober isn't easy, never has been, but it can, it WILL make all the difference in your future. I don't know how many of us here are recovering alcoholics but you've got two in your court.

Maybe pick the one that pulls you the least and wean it down then stop.
Get done with it real good then tackle the other..
Find new bad habits that don't involve addictive crap..or potential jail time.

Go outside and primal scream for a few minutes..you'll be too lightheaded to do either..
Go for a power walk barefoot..once you'll get home you won't want to move to get either..

Or maybe healthy version of those so you don't land in the funny farm..

Super blue moon tonight folks!

A super moon happens when our moon is closest in the orbit in proximity to Earth.

So it looks bigger..plus, this year it is a extra full moon

And all this happens...once in a blue moon..

Regardless..it will be beautiful I'm sure

Don't be surprised if you see spontaneous good vibes being exhibited by gentle hippie like folks, dancing to drum circles, howling and laughter floating easy on da wind.
Maybe a occasional steaker zipping by..
Be a good time to meditate too...
