I have been working on a leaf muncher to chop leaves into small pieces so the are useful to compost.

I've been working on the same thing. All I need to find is another leaf blower sitting by the curb.

You can have that snake and keep it out of my garden - I would shoot it with my pellet gun until it was dead. It could probably swallow my Yorkie.

Good News! Got a call from engineer and he was on his way to a well and could come by my house and finish tightening the screws/nuts on the Sears Craftsman work table with shelf underneath. He got here with steak dinners, which we ate, then he tackled the work table. He said I would never have been able to tighten those nuts because they are two sizes. The wrench I was trying to use fit the first size at the top of the nut but would not fit the next size under that one. He carries all the tools known to mankind, so got his bag and found the right size to hold the nut and finished tightening all of them.

I said I couldn't do it but I tried for a long time before giving up. He said it also took more strength than I had to do it. Then, he put the top on it with more hardware to do that and put the lower shelf in, so it is finished. Now the garden tools I use can go there instead of inside my house next to the glass doors.

Johnny, I had four pots, each with two tobacco plants in them (one has three) and had them sitting on top of the small dining table under the roof. They were there to go in big pots when I get them. Well, this morning, I put them on the deck to get them off the table in order to use that table for my ash tray and drink when engineer was working. At some point, I looked at the tobacco, and Prissy had taken bites out of two leaves, each one in a different pot. I mean she shredded those two leaves - I was going to drop kick her into next year but contained myself.

I put them back on that table. She has not bothered any other plant - why is she eating tobacco if she can get to it? When they get in the big pots, she can't reach them, but why is she attacking my tobacco?

Every single plant out there is special, but my tobacco is grown from seeds you sent me and by darn, they are going to make it until the leaves are ready to harvest.

I suppose your cats don't eat tobacco?
