Got the lawn mowed, reseeded some green beans and Lima beans that didn’t come up, threw in some laundry (winter bedding for dad). While next door I did some jar reclamation from the way back of the pantry.

Got the live cam from the brigde up at the cabin on watching a freighter go down the river.
 
Been working on the B-O-A-T got it running good turn key and let go runs like new.

The blower to evacuate the engine bay is not working so no trying to start it without the rear deck up and no gas smell.

The fan motor runs so it has to be somewhere else, Thinking of doing a return ground style switch system and putting it on a timer before it can be started, so many igmos don't run the things to clear the bilge and engine bay.

This thing has a carb and that is a NO GO for me unless it has a working system.

Doing some stay cool things today so many projects one big one is doing some burning, Sonny is over here and Baby girl is working so gonna be some napping and house cleaning in the AC for today.
Have a happy Fathers day and Sunday.

I remember the GREAT FATHER too HE has two days today to be honored.
 
I have new Bathroom vanity, have it for a few months now, I sealed the Bottom of the walls(ParticleBoard crap), put a set of 4 Super Sliders near the corners raising it up another 1/4 - 5/16th of an " in Hope that no water splashes up and make it swell up and even break...!!! It's in the Laundry Room outside by the carport, Thinking about bringing it inside to a bedroom as I soon will 🐝 doing a Bathroom Do-Over...!! Got some more Royal Poinciana Seeds to get started and might just get a Load of Towels and more going to hang out in the afternoon Sun...?!?

Don't 4get to clean the vents on the Outside Unit...
 
I do cleanup on all of the inside and outside HVAC coils every 6 months or so since it is so humid here they will get a lot of condensation it is like a running hose and if you do not run bleach and water through the drains they will clog.

I have a two filter system so we do not have to dust often, but it has to be changed often to keep the airflow at full force.

On The outside I usually wash out and cut the screening hedges back about every month.

That is another of the very soon cooler day tasks I am trying to hide from HEHEHEHEH.
 
Daughter and I got home at 8:50pm last night. I was sad to leave Florida and my uncle but I am glad to be home. I'm doing laundry and daughter is taking a walk down to Dollar General to get a birthday card for her friend. After noon, I'll run her back to her mom's. Daughter's Corolla is still at the shop. Mechanic replaced another wheel bearing, and since it's the weekend we can't pick it up until Monday, when I'm gone for work. I'll leave her a check to take to the shop to pay so she can get it on Monday.

I'll spend this afternoon with Laura and Ruby the dog. It'll be hot and neither of them tolerate heat well so I imagine we'll be inside most of the day. I'll still enjoy seeing them.
 
I'm pretty tired n sore..
Two weeks on nights with mostly 10 hour days and yesterday I got up early 8am and didnt stop going n doing till 10pm.

I took a shower, sat down with half a leftover enchilada and a cup of top raman..stumpled into bed and crashed hard.

Today I will walk the dogs and I have to make a dump run..but that's it.
I need ibuprofen just to get going today ..everything hurts.
Maybe I need a hot spring soak later...
That sounds awesome..
I need coffee now since I forgot it yesterday..

Then I apologize.

The last line before the attachment "Berry Berry Good".
I will make two replies, with separations between my remarks instead of my normal answers.

Ok found it, there is the large one in the middle and the 40 A one above that to the left. It has the details on the bottom of the box. They don't look broken but I will try to get new ones and replace them and see what happens. It started right up no problem just now.
But LOL, I have a feeling nothing is THAT easy ....it will probably be something bad and expensive only the dealer can fix....( yes I am not an optimist....LOL) BUt thank you so much learned something new!

Writing marathon, should be done with book 2 in a few days. Chugging black coffee and sugar while I listen to "I had some help" by Post Malone on loop for hours at a time.
 
While weeding the landscape at the rental house yesterday I noticed some poison ivy. So today The Princess brewed up 6 gal of Roundup and loaded up the side by side. I drove while she road shotgun spraying poison ivy and invasive species. It was fun. She used 5 of the 6 gal. It was fun.

You gotta do that stuff when you are in the mood! What a good feeling getting that kind of stuff done!!👍
 
Got the last of the winter stuff packed away and summer clothes put in the dresser and armoire. Did some cleaning at dad’s then cleaned in my place. Washed the bathroom rugs and towels. Heidi had a particularly tiring day. So tired she needed one of the towels as a bolster pillow. She’s snoring now

Went to a fun wedding reception last night, but overestimated my alcohol tolerance (Haven't been drinking much at all).
So today, I am relaxing, doing laundry, finishing up an emergency neuro cert I have to renew every 2 years, and making homemade pizza. Kids are coming over for dinner later, boys are working on the road into the property some more.
Trying to get everything done before my work week starts Tuesday.
 
Picnic at the big park in the bigger town. It's hot. We lasted a couple of hours. Little granddaughter got on husband's scooter and took the pup for a walk thru the park, ha. He follows her everywhere. Picked up our barbeque to have for supper for later. Husband just opened up a very strange decanter set from one of our daughters. It's hour glass shaped. Hmm.
 
I sat around doing nothing but the bare minimum (the normal stuff that I do) today & then started feeling guilty. So I'm washing 3 loads of clothes & I've already cleaned the back bathroom. Now I can kick back & enjoy drinking beer without feeling guilty.

PS: Don't use too much Pine o Pine because the smell is overpowering!!!! It's going to be days before we can use that bathroom.

I have Cancer Doctor Appointments this week.
So I prep when I have those, cause I don't know how I will feel when I get home.
 
Watching "I'maGettingOuttaHere" on the CW :

 
I think today was the first day of me being 100% back to normal. I just took a cold shower for the first time since we got back from the trip ( it's either that or I have to heat water and take a bucket shower since we have no hot water in summer)
After animal care I cleaned the entire house, made burritos ( husband's request for fathers day) and later egg salad since we still have a ton of eggs. Then we just got done planting some more tomatoes , well transfering them from pots to garden but they are still small. The garden is not awesome this year, oh well.

Talked to my brother on the phone, he thinks my vehicle problem is the starter solenoid , second most likely he thinks it's the ignition
I will still get that relay and fuse thingy , just to eliminate one thing for sure

oh and I made sourdough bread well, the dough, it's in the fridge now till tomorrow
