You're doing it wrong Jay. I am having the coffee...need to go switch the loads of laundry and then get out to water the flowers and garden.

Kids are coming later today than they have been so I hope to get a few things done outside. I have some water toys they can play with today so we should be able to keep them occupied and cool.

my yard barely grew last week, still mostly green, but barely

Our yard is getting brown. It's just as well...hubby is too buy building this truck to be bothered with mowing the grass.

No surprise, I seldom do things right.

They need a water trough to relax in on days like these.

Morning all! Anybody have experience removing raccoons by hand?Found two juvenile raccoons in my sunroom closet yesterday. I have some welding gloves and am planning on putting them in the trash can temporarily and relocating them to a nearby public park so they don't get back in the house. MaMa is not present.

At least he has his priorities in line

Good morning

Throw a blanket or towel over them first, then wrap them up in it. Be forewarned they are strong, fast and mean if they are very large at all.

It's pretty slimy...full of water for the deer. We probably need to dump it today and rinse and refill. I did that last week and it was full of mosquito larvae. I dump it regularly to keep them from hatching.

We had mosquitoes pretty bad last night for some reason. I thought that was weird with how dry it is.

Do you guys have a body for that truck?

 

[COOPADUP]

thanks glad you reminded me it was a watering day. A year ago I had to buy a new sprinkler but it was end of season and all they had was the expensive metal Gilmour ones, guess what, they don't work any better then the cheap plastic ones

I can certainly attest to that myself. Picked up another plastic one this year and will probably have to get another one next Spring.

At least he has his priorities in line

It's coming along. He has all of the brakes/rotors replaced, new gas tank, new brake lines, fuel lines, hoses, etc. and the engine and transmission are in. Radiator is arriving tomorrow along with all the front end stuff--lights, bezels, grill, etc. so he can that all assembled.

I had to order some new taillight lenses for my red bus so I ordered them for his truck at the same time. Those are to be here tomorrow as well. I sort of backed into the dumpster at work yesterday....need to get a couple of spot mirrors. I had a blind spot and the trash guys left it in a different spot...so nice of them. I couldn't see it and boom...busted the lens and put a little crease above it. I touched up the paint last night to keep it from rusting, but he is going to pull out the crease and repaint when he gets some time. It will probably result in the back end getting repainted, which is good because there are a couple of spots on the back doors that need some attention and the paint on the back is way more faded than the rest.

I think I have about six Fed Ex deliveries potentially arriving tomorrow. It's like a highway instead of a driveway...LOL
