The truck is in the country outside Vacaville CA (along with the Raptor I mailed her) parked under some trees so she only gets her rump fried in the sun. I don’t get to team up with her until mid Sept (sigh). Having to stay in AK for father in-laws medical stuff (think he will be OK) and some Alaska summer stuff.
PS: Because of you, tonight, I am having angel hair pasta, crumbled bacon with butter and parmesan cheese (despite my diet).

This year was not a good yr for gardening for me. Too much rain, no garden in the yard but I did plant one at my plot at work. Only problem is I have not been out there since I planted it over a month ago. Co worker called tonight and said he will check it out for me and weed/water tomorrow.
Next year...I will put more into it. The low acids are ok but I miss the tang or zing of a good Roma and a Beefsteak too.

Weird. When I left my parents place in CA I had planted their garden just as I had in years past (always in a diff location). Dad says the tomatoes, okra and other warm weather stuff did not come up like normal. He was blaming himself--maybe not watering right or something but everybody else seems to be having the same problem. Kind of a late spring or something.
In Late August I will harass you. By then I should have been able to finish their instructions (they seem pretty good) but will hit you up for any short cuts you might know of.
Once again, I am going to be eating late. The pasta is done so will I be shortly.

Morning all.
Today is Friday, July 9th.
On this day in 1776 - The American Declaration of Independence was read aloud to Gen. George Washington's troops in New York.
1847 - A 10-hour work day was established for workers in the state of New Hampshire.
1850 - U.S. President Zachary Taylor died in office at the age of 55. He was succeeded by Millard Fillmore. Taylor had only served 16 months.

Doc said he had the entire area exposed and I have seen how they can open up an incision a third of the size of that one. 
Last night I made a bunch of banging sounds on the stairs and was laying at the bottom muttering "I've fallen and I can't get up." I thought it was funny.
My wife, well, after she got past the panic and the anger...smiled.

Glad all is going well. I did get a movie of my shoulder operation. Weird sitting back and realizing what you are seeing is YOU. Just finished tweaking the AC units on the blonde's bus and the truck. Less than a can for the total job. Wow, her car was really cold. Guess I have to bite the bullet and do the AC doors thingy - - not blowing cold on passenger. Fooooeeey.
OK, Scotty beat me in here, so having coffee instead and go do some more wonderful things with my day.

Mornin' All!
Gonna be great outside again. Supposed to push 90*. It'll make for a hot ride home tonight.
Riding a bicycle with bunny boots and Carharts just isn't fashionable.
Picked up a new headlight switch for my truck last night on the way home. I was gonna put it in but Took the kid for a bike ride last night and didn't get back in time. Probably get to it tonight.
