    T, you're harshing my mellow, man...

    I haven't even gotten my bike on the road yet, can we avoid discussing snow? Lol...

    On topic: I ordered the irrigation system for my container garden, and put tomato transplants in my topsy turvy's.

    Bp, good advice. I went out to the garden today to pick a squash and the Japanese beetles (or they may be June beetles) - not sure if the Japs start off small and grow, but either way, they are here now. They haven't started on the veggies yet but on the weeds so I "Sevened" everything in sight. I know they will be hitting the apple orchard soon so they will be destroyed. I am hoping they won't be a problem at the new property. Will not have such a huge orchard there for sure!
    I apologize for nothing...

    Outstanding! Now you'll get stuck sending flashing light to the fleet, I dub thee "ship's signalman/quartermaster" to hell with that you need to be OOD! After you've mastered the helm. One must master the helm before one can be a ship handler.

    Be safe.............the night is your friend.

    I checked it out. The "Lady" and I both agreed it is a great system. "BZ" man! Now you got me lookin. Makes great sense, load bearing suspenders. Mollie up whatever you want, guns and gear. Unbuckle your belt and you don't have to worry about your shit fallen down if you gotta adjust your britches. Great score!



    Be safe.............the night is your friend.

    I finally ordered the worms for composting. It was supposed to be done in May, but I finally got around to it. Also started the paperwork to refinance our mortgage at 2.8% interest. I am a little worried about the appraisal because of the foreclosures, but we will see. It will free up a little extra a month toward our bills. Finally got to talk to our tent manufacturer and they are sending a new rain fly in time for our camping trip, and we are just going to patch the original so we have a spare.

    I have also come to realize that I am not as organized as I thought I was. I can't find half of our camping stuff. I will have to clear out a corner of the basement just for camping storage.
