Used a wheelbarrow to move and stack a cord of firewood. Started fennel in a flat. I've taken to ware a handkerchief around my neck. When anybody comes within 6 feet I pull it up.Carrying a little Tarus .380 most very day.
Day 2 of hunting an in network medical supply company. Maybe success, they are contacting my insurance to get everything set up. This has been a headache before my wife decided to “help”. 🤐
Replaced the rotted out retaining wall around the front dirt garden. Shifted September's firewood from the shed to the garage rack and restacked the shed to make room for this summer's production.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
The annual woodchuck war has started. It's dug in under the pottery shed behind the garden. I don't mind the squirrels, voles, rabbits, wild turkeys, and foxes. Only yard on my street hospitable to wildlife. The mega-summer home folk must think poorly of us. Unfortunately the woodchucks don't.

I bet you tried once to take it away from him and the game has been on ever since.
Time to spatchcock two small chickens on the pellet grill. I should be able to get a 'gar in there too.
I can never get video of him but he will run with it, toss it up, it lands on his head And he just keeps running. With the bucket on his head. Plus the bucket is cheaper than his hedgehog toys from the store.
Another last minute notice from the doctors. Automated of course. So I have to called back. Hey you what site? What time? What exactly am I having done?
I know they are stressed in some areas right now but damn really. This is twice in two weeks.
mowed the lawn, vacuumed the floors and rugs, set a hav-a-heart trap for the raccoon in the main house cellar, ordered a new sump pump and an extra float switch.
Planted tomato plants a few days ago and brought out all the houseplants for the summer. 39°f this morning and a light frost last night. Not too happy about that.
I have a couple spider bites from over a week ago. One still itches but the one on the back of my leg doesn't and I almost forgot about it. Oh it's just a bruise the size of a fist now. No big deal.

May want to get that checked out, my brother let a bite go and it turned out to be from a brown recluse. It got ugly. Ended up taking antibiotics for a month
Shaved my beard and had our Internet broadband upgraded from a measly 25 Mb to a piddling 50 Mb (max available) and cut back on the TV channels plus added HBO to our Hulu account for a net savings. The extra bandwidth seems to be helping.
Next I'll be installing Orbi mesh APs to improve our wireless coverage for the duration.
My company announced pay cuts today in Q3 and that 50% of employees will probably remain home permanently.

Talked to HR yesterday. They tried to bring everyone back from layoffs and half are refusing because with the extra $600 a week from the stimulus they are making more sitting at home.
Learned something new. Apparently Andrew Zimmern is into cigars. Talks about traveling around the world with his show allows him to stay stocked on Cubans

Nice work, but what's with the 100lf of extension cords tangled up? Thought you plane mechanics were neat and organized. You just blew my mind.
MOW badge received.
and no snow, what's up with that? It's only May.
LOL couldnt be bothered to untangle it and there's still snow here & there.... it's going fast though.

So poor, the dog has to play with a bucket 🤣
It’s his favorite toy

The sun on my bare feet almost feels hot. That's nice. I love late spring/early summer. It's the best time of year.

Waiting for a report to "print" 37 graphs from Excel to PDF. It's almost more than my laptop can handle.

I should have asked that.
Started to reply to a post on the forum and thought better of it. Decided not to be an asshat at this particular moment.
I hit disagree but changed it to like so as to not tarnish your spotless record.
Went to the grocery store, then set up a triage and sterilized everything on the way in. Filled two grocery store baskets with supplies.
Replenished my Scotch supplies.
I just did this again.
I'm making this forum a better place, zero posts at a time.
