I have to warn you. Nice as it is to have an effective defensive perimeter, those particular plants quite often get infected with a garish display of off-color leaves. In addition to being unsightly, they exude a horrendous odor which attracts many nuisance insects such as butterflies.
And hummingbirds. You can’t sit outside without hummingbirds complaining and squeaking because you’re near those colorful leaves. Annoying. Unfortunately, the defensive perimeter only has 39 of the plants so far. With over 80 acres, I can see no end to planting. And the odor covers up the fresh smell of cow from across the road. *sigh* Unfortunately, they do nothing for the neighbors d*** rooster.
You have my sympathies. Your life seems plagued by leftover dinosaur remnants.
I gotta go dig.
I have no idea. White overcast and cool this morning. No rain on the radar.
I did. Tempted to go back...
But not to fear, if there are deer in the vicinity they will take care of the problem.

Remember, tomorrow is Moving Day.
Already learned about liquid fence.
And not to get any on you...
Sorry, kiddies.
I was called early (before 8:00) to come and help put the engine back in the racecar, so that took a while.
The brakes on my truck sound REALLY bad, so I’ll need to check the price online and see if I can find someone to put them in. The rotors are fine, but the truck seems to eat brakes for breakfast, as I just replaced the pads two years ago.
While I was there, I hooked up my friend’s laptop, since I can’t find reformatting CD’s for the CPU. The hard part was getting the modem to accept the ethernet connection. I must have been on Perma-Hold the better part of an hour, and actually having a conversation with a real CSR a total of 10 minutes.
So the battery in my cell phone was DYING by the time I headed for home!
Anyway, it’s ugly outside, mostly overcast, and is cooling off a little. Ugh. Humid.
McCain SO blindsided the Dem-ons that they could only sputter.
Ohyes! I think he’s going to get the votes that would have gone to Hitlery!
Osamabama can crawl in a hole and lick his wounds on November 5th. Michelle will probably b!+ch-slap him for the next four years. :o])
Afternoon! I was around this morning before all of you got up, but then we went to the parade and fair in Matthews, and then we took naps because five hours in the heat and humidity wore us out. Now I need to give all the little boys a bath.
I slept late (6:38) then turned on the computer, and headed out the door to get some things I should have gotten yesterday.
I hadn’t been in the house 15 minutes when my friend called, and that kind of upset my day. I would rather plan ahead, but still...I like working on the car with him.
It’s been a long time, but we still work well together, and for the most part, he doesn’t have to tell me what to do. Not to mention the fact that my small hands can get into places where his big ones can’t.
It’s windy and ugly out, and though I would like to have stayed and had supper with him, I had things here that I had planned to do today. Unfortunately, I probably won’t get them done. Or even started, since I’m now stuck to the chair...
Sorry about what?
About not being on here until NOW!
Dang! Wassup in Canadia?
That leaves the calipers, which hold the pads and squeeze them against the rotors. You may need to replace the calipers.
You'll get new pads when you do it.
Dang!
Not much!
I’m hungry.
How about you?
The right caliper was replaced last time, and that’s the one that’s ugly. There is brake dust all over the wheel.
I dunno. If that’s all I have to put into this truck, it’s OK. If it starts needing major items like a tranny or a new engine block, I’ll sell it for scrap and see what I can find to replace it. But I won’t worry about it for now.
Yah. I could use a steak, right about now! LOL!
I was going to have one for supper, but my friend called before I could take the steak out of the freezer, so it may have to wait until Monday. ;o]
Labor Day, you know. Everyone sets up the BBQ grill and tries not to burn the meat beyond recognition while getting a buzz from the beer.
