I hit a new low in embarrassing myself this morning.

Was digging around in the garden and a wasp kept pestering me. Guess he got tired of me shussing and flapping at him and stung me....jumping up I hit my head on the hummingbird feeder splashing the contents over myself.

This attracted the wasp even more and Brought another one in on the action.

Finally grabbed the hose to wash myself down.

My hair is still sticky.
[/QUOT
You were having a bad day, did the wasps stick around long, hope you have a better day tomorrow.:)

Morning,

Just woke up from what I thought was asleep, but only a nap... Was up all night Sunday night into Monday morning, finally got to bed last night about 8... and thinking I was there for the night... but up having a glass o tonic water... Going to have a fast look around, see what kind of mischief I can get into, and head back for a few hours...

Gotta have the truck into the garage for 10:30 to get new plugs put into her... So figure that's gonna cost anywhere from about $400 to $1000, depending on how easy the old one's come out...

Well, hope YOU all have a GREAT day... Keep Safe... God Bless YOU all..
Mike
 
Great day at the ranch yesterday. Didn't make 32, but got to 28, big north winds kept it a bit cooler. even with the small shower Sunday night, was able to mow the backyard in the morning. Whiskey barrels i moved to set in patio blocks, got them moved back in their spot, and levelled, got some iron hanger stands back in the ground. Have ripe bananas waiting to be baked with, and probably doing the dandelion thing, and see what else pops up.
 
Was another great day in paradise......oops....i mean.....Manitoba, Canada. Paradise is somewhere else. was a nice day, 27, wind got up again, ripe bananas went into my signature, Banana Double Chocolate Bran muffins......to die for. Dandelions got dug up, Elm tree seeds got cleaned up, again, thought those were done a couple of days ago, but i guess not, north west winds, dumped the seeds on the deck and patio pad. Did some more brain work on stuff i wanted to move around in the backyard....never move my furniture to different places...not ever, but seem to do that outside. Go Figure. 🙃🤪.
 
Well, took the truck into the shop at 10:30 yesterday morning, and she's still here... After nearly falling asleep in the waiting room at the garage, I heard my name on the intercom... and to go to the garage... I thought to myself, wow, that was quick, guess they didn't have problems with the plugs... I didn't like the face I saw on the mechanic's face when I got to the desk...

He thanked me very much for running SEAFOAM in the truck, and that made if very easy for most of the plugs, except the one way down in the back. He said it broke... I said, wonderful, what is it going to cost me, as $$$ signs are going off in my head.

He tells, me well Mike, we have to take the head gasket off to get it, and I knew that just added $1000 bucks to the price. He told me, we'll figure out a price (fair) and we'll call you at home, and he'd get one of his apprentices to drive me home. He was going to go for lunch, and when he gets back after he figures out a fair price. I have NO choice, it has to be fixed, I can't drive it with a broken plug.

He calls me about 3:00, when I left the garage it was 1... thinking that's a long lunch, I say to Lorie, I guess he can take a longer lunch, that we'll be paying this one, and the ones for the next 6 months...

He calls, and tells me he got it out, it took quite a bit, but it's out and the truck will be ready in the morning, today... He also told me not to stop using the seafoam... Great stuff for our cars and trucks...

Anyways everyone, I hope YOU all have a GREAT day... and God Bless

SEAFOAM, Have a read...
 
Well Mike, we are waiting to hear the tally on that fair??? repair bill for the truck.

Micka, Banana Double Chocolate Bran Muffins sound good, might even make me like bananas :D

I am waiting for 7 am to call the air conditioner people, I know they are busy but sheesh, I just want to know where I am on their list.

And if no air today then just might go to the summer trailer for a few days, boring, boring, boring....no tv, no internet, but at least there is air conditioning.
 
Well yesterday was Eclectic. Very hot again, and I had to have an ultrasound scan at the private hospital in the afternoon, a 50 mile round trip through some very busy towns, so it takes a long time, in the hot car and my AC needs re-gassing, so I drove there with all windows open, messing up my neatly coiffured, ready to face the doctor hair... :rolleyes:...anyway I leave in plenty of time, and by the time I get within a few miles I have loads of time in hand, so I drive to the farm shop village nearby and buy a coffee at the little tea-room there, and sit out a table in their back fields , then buy some eggs from the shop, and go onto my appointment.

Not a pleasant appointment, so to ease the pain and cheer myself up somewhat, I stopped at a London Suburb, and had a wander around the stores which are open during this lockdown .. surprising just how many are open..despite the 15th being the day when the doors will be flung open to Non-essential shops . Anyway, not many people around so the one discount hardware shop I went into didn't even have a queue but I wore my mask anyway , picked up a few cleaning supplies , and back into the car which is now roasting hot , and find my chocolate bar ( how stupid am I leaving chocolate in the car)...had turned liquid.. :eek:...
Got home , and mowed the lawn at the back , not that it needed much but there's lots of fallen leaves on the lawn.. but because the wheelie bins will be emptied today...

..today is a new day... a massive 15 degrees cooler than yesterday, and cloud cover.. we're forecast for possible rain for the first time in a long time, I hope it rains, we desperately need it now here in the South...

terry, so glad you are back home and doing well. Thank heavens you had good medical care and can now get back to enjoying life again.
 
Up to darn early this morning,, at least the sun is shining.

Should stir my bones into doing some outside work before it gets too hot or the rains comes.

Prepared one of our old benches for new paint.
Sprayed some on last night,,not sure red is the color I want.

Might bring on the paint stripper & start over.

Do the job right this time,, tape off what isn't to be painted.
 
Was another good day in the yard yesterday......windy, windy, we are getting a lot of strong winds this year so far. Got my sprayers filled up and ready to go as soon as the wind goes down, one sprayer with Round up, one with just weed spray. Doing the daily dandelion dig, might be making some headways. Hope to spray today, depending on the wind....may get some ground ready to put down more patio blocks, i'm getting there. Temps have been great. I still think it might be an age thing, 28, 29,30's just don't seem as warm as it used to, haven't had the air conditioner on yet....Have a good day everyone in whatever you decide to do.
 
Good Morning...
Gummy bears (weed) my daughter got me, slept like a baby for 12 hours... First time forever did I get a good sleep like that and feel pretty rested...

Well, the truck... They were able to get that plug out that they tried and tried... 3 more broke on them, and it only cost me $471... I was expecting a much higher bill...

The truck is running much better but still has a hesitation now and then... so it may need a new coil... but she is running much better...

Just after retrieving the truck, we got a phone call that Lorie's mom's pool was leaking, so that is where we headed... dug it up, and found the leak for someone to repair...

Well, that's my excitement... I hope everyone has a GREAT day... and keep safe.. and God Bless YOU all...
