Oh crap, blue falcon is googling pictures again. How many will we get before he's bored again?

 

[2A_Tom]

You didn't like the jedi/hello kitty portfolio?

 

[2A_Tom]

How about this one.

Bored, sitting at home, on disability, someone come and drive me to Point Blank or any other range.

them bunnies look nice but any peta girl is more dangerous crazy then even a redhead

Yes, I'm hoping to open the pool.

 

[melensdad]

My pool is open, the water is clear, but it is raining and cold down here

 

[Snapdragon]

Just got my tomato plants in before the rain. The geraniums and lemonbalm will have to wait.

Just picked up 3- 2x10x10 and 1- 2x10x8 to build a raised garden bed on the side of the house, total dimensions will be about 35'x36". Wife dug out all the weeds and old plants 2 weeks ago, last week we tilled it about 4-6" deep, this week we will install the 2x10's about 2-3" below grade for some stability, as well as brace them to 1-by's and add about 6" of garden soil on top...roughly 2-yards worth.

Then I move back to the flag pole that the previous owner installed right in the middle of the yard. I've dug out around it, and I'm down roughly 14" and I cannot find the bottom of the concrete. Going to rent a small jackhammer (unless anyone has one to borrow...?) to break it all up. At lease deep enough to cover with a few inches of topsoil if I cannot find the bottom.

If he went below the frost line like you're supposed to in this area it should be 36" deep as far as the concrete goes, to prevent heaving.

Rain, rain on my garden!

 

[jedi]

Yes, I'm hoping to open the pool, so the racoons have some where to drink.

ftfy

 

[actaeon277]

Yes. I hope to work on the pool. Maybe even get a flag pole stripped and repainted, hole dug, concrete poured.


And yes, the flag pole you are digging out is probably twice as deep as you've dug, or more.

I was hoping this was a morning that the kid would sleep in...silly me.

You will have plenty of time for that as soon as you send them the kid off to college

Empty nest is a wonderful thing.

Quiet, you!. I am one of the old dads; when my mom was the age I am now, I was married and my little sister was 21. My youngest will be 5 in August. I’m going to be able to retire about three years after I die.

I have a BIL who was 65 when his youngest son graduated high school to many years ago.
