You can have some of our upcoming Monday 98 degree sun and heat. I’m sure my tomato plants won’t mind.
I’m making three water trips tomorrow morning. Two to fill the stationary garden IBC tank and one to refill the mobile house tank.
Tractor has been leaking coolant/water from the radiator so I hit the parts store for some stop leak. They had $7 in a bottle or $17 in a bottle, then I saw the old dispenser behind that with alumaseal. No price on it but it was $3.25 and I’ve always had good luck with it in the past.
Gonna put that in and refill with water. Gotta move a few things with the forks on the tractor and then I’ll hook up the finish mower, put the new belt on and do some mowing. Keep and eye on the water and hopefully the leak stop will have worked before the day’s out.
Got some mowing done. Radiator leakstop worked like a charm. Now I can drain the water and refill with 50/50 antifreeze. Cheaper to make that yourself btw. 1 gal of full strength antifreeze plus 1 gal of distilled water = 50/50.
Got the little HF manual tire changer pulled out. I’ll change/mount two tomorrow and two next weekend.
Picked a pack of peppers. Over a dozen Shisito, plus half a dozen Sunsugar cherry maters. In the morning, I’ll snag some lettuce/mustard/kale/tatsoi/bok choy for a kickass salad tomorrow.
With the mid 90s becoming the norm again this year, I’ll get what I get for salad stuff.
We got another 2.5” of rain today, per my rain gauge. Amazingly, it did NOT rain on our Family Reunion, but after that was over, Beau wanted to see a cousin that was in town but couldn’t make it to the reunion and while we were at the B&B where she was staying, the tornado sirens went off and the sky opened up and it was pretty awful. We were minutes away from heading to the basement. The cousin lives in Nebraska, so she was relatively unfazed, LOL!
On the way home the sky was pitch black and super scary looking. We parked the truck and RAN for the house - the rain was torrential and the wind was close to 20 MPH! We were soaked running up the steps to the house, but we survived. ;) And then it all cleared up and we had a gorgeous sunset. :)
This Spring is really one for the books. So. Much. Rain! Send it to Africa, God! We don’t need it ALL to fall here! ;)
