Well, my half day off yesterday turned into pressure washing the engine compartment of the car, and then the rest of it, along with the generator, and the gas grill. I did knock off at 5:30 instead of 6:30 or 7:00. That has to count for something.:) Today it's back to shop projects.

Sounds like you were on a roll with the pressure washer...as long as you had it out already...
 
Done in the garden for today because I ran out of steam. Or maybe because it's too steamy out there. I got a lot done, but holy cow there's a lot more to do all because I've neglected it all summer. And we still have a whole lot more summer to go. Sigh. I'm off again on Thursday and then on Saturday. Guess where I'll be those days? ;)
 

@Jules You beat me to it. I was going to suggest depositing by phone📱

I'm tired. Working in the garden made me hot and sweaty and...tired. The Hovel needs to be vacuumed. Who wants to come over and do it for me? It's not like I'm asking for a lot...only takes five minutes. I've already showered and started a load of laundry and don't have the energy left for vacuuming.

Oh...and there's a BIG orange kitty napping amid the flowers. Really big. Bigger even than Maggiecat (she weighs about 25 lbs).

The humidity and heat are both high and rising over the next several days. It's too uncomfortable to do anything outside right now but I'll need to go outside later today to change the nectar in the hummingbird feeders and water the plants. Thankfully there is some rain in the forecast for later this week.
 
I tell you it'd been horrible here today..90 deg and with high humidity... *ugh*... I drove to one town to deposit the cheque and make the donations.. and it was sooo hot I got a coke from the pub.. I always take iced water with me when I go out but I;d accidentally left it on the counter..😰

Then I had to drive to another much larger town.. East... to pick up a few items from the Hardware Big box store.. and also get the frozen food store. I was so thirsty I couldn't wait to get to the FF store because they sell some chilled goods too, so I could get a cold drink.. but when I got there.. I was out of luck cuz all their chilled cabinets were not working.. 😖..I honestly can't remember ever being so thirsty and not having anything to drink... so I bought a ton of ice cream and ice lollies.. 🍨🍦🍡

Thankfully I had the ice bag in my car so I was able to get them all home before they melted.. but I had to drive fast because my AC doesn't work.. so no cool car...

Then when I got in..I noticed I'd left several items behind that should have gone in the donations bag.. 🤦‍♀️

The wife and I had our 6 month checkup this morning, and all of our numbers were good. My PSA was down a couple of points which is good news. I am going to see a back specialist for my arthritis. The VA has tried to help, but not much luck. Thelma has gout in her ankle and will take something to help with pain. For our ages, I think we did okay.

Horrible to have arthritis in your back Pappy... so sorry you have it.. as a back sufferer myself I just can't imagine how much more painful arthritis would be..

Yes Most of the YouTubers are young, @hollydolly I still learn things. The only time I can’t deal with it is if they are giggly and chirpy 😆

I watch a fair bit of youtube.. but they are all adults ... lol... I wouldn't have the patience with the young ones.. I love this lady.. she's 86 lives on a plot on her daughter's land with her husband.. and she's just good value to watch...

 
So in the shopping trip today I saw this glorious bunch of radishes and bought it.
They are large and fresh but I know I will never be able to eat them all raw so what I want to know is...
......have any of you good peeps ever roasted or fried them?
A neighbour I got talking in the elevator suggested I do that but I have never done it hence my question and possible recipes and comments...

I tried roasting them for the first time..last year, because I had so many I wouldn't be able to get through them raw.. it was an unmitigated disaster. I followed the recipe but *ugh* they tasted horrible..

thanks for that reply..sort of how I felt myself but thought I would try for some feedback..thing is how to use them up. I do hate to throw food out but my stomach can't cope with too much 'rawness'.
