What's everybody doing today?

[Snowman]

Slept in this morning and in afternoon friend wanted to come over to help with some yardwork. He cut down some weeds I couldn't get, was trying to get the little tree but I can't find the battery for my chainsaw and my mini chainsaw is dead. It has 2 batteries and neither work. Could potentially be the batteries, but I don't know. I've now got a Ryobi mini chainsaw in my cart. Also have my eye on a snipper tool because my weak hands have trouble with snipping.

But can anyone tell me what this thing does? (its called a cultivator)

Does it chop up soil?

Anyway, friend was working on weeds when my brother found a chicken snake stuck in some mesh on an old torn up mattress in the car port. Friend decided to rescue the poor thing. At first it tried to bite but it was weak. He used a bottle of Powerade to distract it. After awhile it stopped trying to bite and barely moved. It took ages for him to carefully cut the mesh off-- some of it had actually cut in to the poor thing. I poured a little bit of water on it to cool it off and let it hydrate a little. Friend finally got it loose and when he set it down it rolled on its back to play dead. He poured out some more water for it to drink and then rolled it back upright. It was too afraid to move so we left it alone. Friend took another try with the small tree but it wasn't cutting and my tools weren't working. He did chop down more stuff with my hedge trimmer and he likes it. He checked on snake after and it wasn't there so it must have slithered off.

Went to TSC to grab some tools and sweet feed. Because I was getting dizzy my friend insisted on lifting the sweet feed for me. Went to O'Reilly's to grab him some more work gloves and a cabin air filter for my truck. He changed the filter out for me in the parking lot-- old one was full of leaves and dirt.

Went to Walmart after-- friend needed diapers for the 4-yr-old and wet wipes. I got some stuff on Mom's list but forgot to pick up her RX. Almost passed out bending down to pick up something at the deli. Went to a local IGA store after to get potatoes for Mom. Friend got some stuff to cook for dinner. Then we both went home. Friend said he almost passed out in the shower.

Mom was pissy when I got back and was being melodramatic about stuff but I calmed her down with food. She had some Chinese leftovers followed by steak. I made her happy by cutting the steak up into itty bitty pieces for her.

Rupert decided to climb up on my shoulder and cling to me for over half an hour. Mom couldn't finish her steak so I finished it off and shared a little with Fippy. I chewed up some pieces for Rupert (he has no teeth). Mom had the rest of the Samsclub apple pie for dessert.

I'm probably going to nap soon.

So you know for next time: carb cleaner drops wasps fast too and it’s multipurpose. You can use it on your carburetor if you need to.

don't have any of that either, no vehicles with carbs , they are old but not quite that old LOL

Went to bed early after the exhausting day, and just got woke up by some loud screeching outside. Never heard anything like it. It was not a goat, not a cayote either and it didn't really sound like any bird I have heard before either.
It sounded like a really big bird being killed or something

Livestock dog is barking outside too, Otto was sleeping but just started barking too

Leaving about noon to take youngest daughter and sis to the airport. Little granddaughter is back to school this morning.

 

[Pearl]

Going to work shortly! My regular Monday job has company from out of town, so I am cleaning for an older man who is in the hospital. His daughter asked if I could clean before he gets back home in a few days!! It's nice when things work out!!

 

[jishinsjourney]

Water roses tonight.

'Watering is vital for roses to thrive,' says plant expert, Katie Sunderlage. 'The best time of day to water your roses is in the morning. Doing so in the early hours will ensure there is enough time for your plant to absorb moisture from the soil to get through long and hot summer days.'

'Newly planted roses need to be watered more than established roses, particularly if they are planted in late spring or early summer,' Katie says.

'I would recommend watering newly planted roses every 2 to 3 days depending on the weather,' Katie adds. 'Once roses are established, they can be watered once or twice a week, as necessary depending on the temperature.'

'It is best to water around the base of the plant, not on the foliage, which will help to prevent fungal disease and other rose pests,'

Keep the Aphids Away and Dry...!!!

They would have to wait until tomorrow morning. Hopefully will have water then.

Shucked a mess of corn and cut it of the cob.

Have you ever made corn cob jelly?

 

[Spikedriver]

Good morning, everybody! Today is laundry day for me, gotta run a couple errands and then drive 3 hours back to Nebraska tonight. Tomorrow starts a 6 day work week for me. I'm supposed to work 7 days but I have next Monday off for Labor Day. It'll be nice to have 8 days off that week. Hope all is well for everybody here! Have a good one!

So yesterday I built the door for the new coop. It came out looking good, until I went to hang it and realized that I put the hinges on upside down. It was getting late so I put it off until this morning.

I did something along those lines Saturday. I was putting a new tube in the rear tire of GF's bike. Went through all the steps, got the new tube in, put it back on the bike and Sunday morning it was flat. WTF? Went and dug the "old" tube out of the trash...I accidentally put the leaky tube back in the tire and threw the new one away. Guess I just grabbed the wrong tube after I checked the inside of the tire for sharp objects. I felt like a total idiot, but GF thought it was hilarious...

I should have read it. Friend said it basically tills soil or something. I'm still feeling cruddy and lightheaded. Trying to take it easy today but hoping I can get some cleaning done if my head will cooperate.

Oh, I found out today!
I am going to be a Great Aunt again in November.
This will be my 11th great niece or nephew.

I stand corrected this will be my 12th great niece or nephew.
I am still excited just the same.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Cleaning house;
Clearing stuff out, I don't care where it goes.
But it isn't staying here.
Yep! Mo's on a tear,
Heads rolled, butts got chewed.
But I feel better,
Not sure about the other person's feelings this morning,
But pretty sure I don't care either.
"MEN"!
Idiots!

 

[Amish Heart]

Empty house. Took the daughter and my sis to the airport and got back. Am recuperating, and will need to get to all the sheet washing and towel washing and the bedrooms put back together. Also a spare bed in the upstairs family room. We had a houseful! But a really good time.

 

[12icemaker]

Just settling in for some rest from the day.

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping cool.

Maybe better things for tomorrow too.

 

[teeceetx]

Washed, dried, and put away a mountain of dishes, containers, flatware, plates, bowls, pot, and pans.

Also on my second load of laundry ... one more to go.

That's really cool.

 

[d_marsh]

Got up, worked out, did some chores, paid some bills, talked to a guy who my FFL referred me to that wants to buy some of my stuff, dug up a couple caches, started working on dinner and now I am just sitting on the futon spending time with Limonjalo and clacking the keyboard of my laptop.

The aforementioned potential buyer, or should I say barterer, has a couple big older gun safes that he may be willing to trade for an equivalent value of survival goods like food, ammo, etc. He is going to take some pics and I am going to put together a list of stuff I am willing to part with.

 

[Ekatarina]
