Yeah, it sounds easy as long as you have a high enough step ladder to reach the ceiling. At least it’s the garage and not the dining room. And I have to get some of that Gardz stuff to do behind the washer.
heh, always a project to plan for and then accomplish.
Miss gypsy and annie tag teamed LSA with ‘starving wayside waif’ impressions. Now both are taking their post dinner naps.
I’ve been sharpening some scrapers and drawknives; hatchet is next. Two well seasoned osage splits await. ‘There is a bow in there somewhere’ we like to say.
That’s a great outdoor aquarium setting. Do you think they could overwinter in the stock tank?
Hope Bay’s hoofs (hooves?) are healing up as planned.
I’ve just been vacuuming. Oh joy.
Just went on a grand adventure to test the new bike luggage (panniers) that arrived in the package yesterday. I loaded ‘em with books and went to the library, then to work to pick up a week’s worth of laundry, then rode to the bike shop and got some gloves (it’s good to have more than one pair...allows for things like, say, washing...), the (free) new county bike map, and a very basic headlight just to help me be seen as the days get shorter. Then I came home.
This was the bike shop where I bought my mountain bike, and where I’ve never felt like I was taken seriously. Really felt good to come cruisin’ in there, knowing I’d come fifteen miles or so to get there, albeit by a bit of a roundabout route. And now I know it’s easy to get there by bike, if I ever get to the end of the day at work and discover I’ve had a slow tire leak or something and need a tube or some help.
Now to clean up a bit and have a nice cold Vernors...
Or you could put it in a pickup with some tools, and drive around to see somebody with a bad driveway and sell it ti them. If you are a little short you could add some old fuel oil. Used to have lots of folks offerring to sell us this 'help' when I was a kid.
Not sure... they could overwinter outside... question is I think the glass would break if it froze.
Bay’s feet are getting a LOT better.. he’s just about cured.
LCS: Funny you should mention that. A week or 10 days ago, LSA was mowing the grass when a fella came by, as you described, saying that ‘they had some left over material from a job and did she want them to professionally seal our driveway’. LSA thanked them for stopping by but said I’d be doing it soon. She promptly forgot to tell me till I started doing the driveway yesterday morning.
Glad to hear that Bay’s feet are on the mend. Good news indeed.
Yes, that ‘professional quality sealant’ often lasts as long as two weeks, and is usually not very toxic!
crazy busy...but going well... alot more time on the keyboard than I'd like...
the boss is a strong Christian... said grace befor lunch, and opened thestaffmeeting with a prayer... gruff, abrasive... I like him...
did a controlled burn tuhday... about 6 acres on the East border... woulduh been the brushy hillside to your left as you walked from the house to therange at ShootMoot...
hopefully kilt alotta brush and saplings... then may I can brush hawg it come winter...
oh yeah... and used a boomless sprayer on the pasture... PastureGuard... does a number on serecia...
Well, sounds like a busy work-life and homeplace-life for you all down on ‘theridge’. I recall that hill. Those boomless sprayers are pretty cool, I’ve seen ‘em on ATVs.
P-G has apparently been pretty successful with the lespedeza eradication; IIRC the MDC is promoting it for quail habitat rehab on CRP and WRP lands.
LOL, that’s what the folks at Times Beach MO thought when they got a ‘deal’ on some oil for their roads.
Vellum in printers, millions of cards on the eleventh floor ... were they just relentlessly dense?
First question: what saved them from a building collapse? Second question: what kind of printer did they use for the vellum? Laser would involve heat, and that would be very weird, but ink is equally strange.
yup... MDC recommended PG... $110 fer 2.5 gal... ugh... fer a glorified 2-4-D...
MDC provided the sprayer... it can go on an ATV, but I bungied it on the tailgate... plugged it intuh the trailer light plug... just turn on yer headlights to start sprayin’...
heh - dang, that was a good idea. Didn’t think about the trailer light plug (filing that one for future reference). I thought you had used the ATV you had at shootmoot. Big Red comes in real handy, don’t it. :-)
Except during the war, if they were southernors, they might have invested in Europe.

Then we would take our clubs and go out to kill a mammoth for supper.
You did not! Mammoths were extinct!
You hunted buffalo ...
<giggling as I run away ...>
Out of curiosity, have you found a good replacement for Peacock Blue?
