HOT

Another day of work done and one more to go. Temp 97 and heat index 103 when I got home and tomorrow will be the same but then it will be cooling down by about 10 degrees by Wednesday and lows in the mid 60s by Thurs morning. Chance of afternoon T storms between now and then and they will be welcome if long enough to cool things off but not so long as to flood creeks over.

For my T,W,T off, I’ll work on the rest of my To Do list. Still need to put a part on the car and do a full suspension/steering inspection on the truck. Cut down the width on the front tractor rims and put the new tires on. Put down the black poly in the tunnel. Put my shelves up and hang lights for the seed trays. That will finish the list and then I can fill it back up with things from my other to do lists. House, Yard, Tunnel, Mechanical.

Sun’s down past the trees. Gonna go look at the three pepper plants and one watermelon. Might jack up the front left corner of the truck and see how that wheel bearing/hub is but my instinct is to just buy both in a good brand name and not have to worry about them for many years. Timken for $265 incl shipping.

If it ain’t broke,don’t fix it OR my wallet overrode my instinct to replace both front bearing hubs. Left side is nice and tight, no play. One hub on the way.

Peppers are trying to make a comeback. Both the shishito and the habanero are loaded with flowers, buds and new fruits. Got one habanero turning color and way too many shishito turning color so I need to go out and pick a bunch tomorrow. Must have been the two weeks of 80 something temps.
