I figure ill be done by September.


Ya missed a spot.

More rain showers. Supposed to have a surveyor show up to run my property line today. Getting things coordinated with the plumber and the pooper pumper to keep things tidy.

No rain today - - bummer. No excuse for not cleaning out the front of the house planting areas of weeds. They have taken over with our several weeks of rain every day. Soooooooo, hit my knees about 7am pulling weeds. About 4 hours of that and I could hardly stand up. Stupid statins - - hate them. They just whip your legs. Finished about 1:30, came in and could not believe the time - - then realized I was hungry. Sooooo……………..………………..what do you expect ya big dummy.

Oh well, finally got lunch about 3pm after cleaning things up. Then, had to clean myself up. I was drenched, clothes soaked from sweat. Hot and humid both - - wow, it poured out of me. Could not get enough water. Taking it easy tonight. Speaking of which, I am hitting the couch in the family room with the heating pad on my sore back and relax with the blonde. See y'all morry.

Morning all - - rise and shine -- ......on second thought, just rise. ……. Fresh coffee and ph00 brewed and ready for your free donuts.

Just hit the yard again this morning at daybreak to get out of that sun. Worked in the shade in the back yard - - still soaked from sweat. These rains for weeks have the ground saturated and it really gets the humididididity up there. Think I will stay in the AC the rest of the day. Enough of this working stuff. I am retired - - never know it.

……………..…………………...

Were in the same stupid weather pattern. With it raining and then sunny, then raining again, I feel like I'm in Florida.


Washed the sanded surface down with oxalic acid, the same stuff used to remove salt off the brick, and my other vehicles.


Wife needs to choose a stain color, final sanding, replace the broken siding pieces, and someday. ...yeah.


Grabbing my green tea, honey and fresh ginger...and back to the grind.. Eh. Sanding

T-man,
I like the last stain in the line called "Hilary".

After several nice sunny days here, we are looking at some thunderstorms today.

Two votes for "Hilary".

That is almost better than last time.

It got up to 88F here for an hour, now it looks like we might get a late afternoon thunderstorm.
