Island Of Misfits

[Hippie420]

I like whatever I'm driving as long as it gets me where I wanna go.

Me, too. I had a rule while I was working; If you leave me stranded twice, unless it was my fault, you get fixed and used as a trade in or outright sale, and I buy a new one. My job paid well, but you were expected to be there. Too many no-shows would get you passed over quickly, and I can't blame 'em. Reliable transportation = paycheck.

 

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

I've gone from feeling the need to build/drive supercars to driving a Jeep GCL and an electric Ford focus. I just like them comfortable and reliable these days.

I'm out for now , dog time and food supplies refill
Later all , Yes you too Boo

 

[Hippie420]

Got a ton of stuff to do before the snow flies, but playing with the backhoe sounds more fun. I'm out for a few, too.

 

[boo]

me as well, gotta finish the mowing today, got rained out yesterday...a little snocaine and then the mow is on...

 

[WeedHopper]

Same here Boo. Just waiting for the grass to dry out from the sun. I don't like mowing wet grass.

Tell you what my dumbass did earlier. Had this 10ft umbrella the fabric was fked up on so I took it off and used it as a pattern to cut some clear thick plastic and remade the cover and put it back together to use to cover my girls if it rained. Than I walk back to my girls and go,,mother fker. Forgot they were in pots that could be moved under the porch unlike the ones I grew in the ground last yr.
I really shouldn't get high so early.

 

[boo]

that's why they call it dope...

I'm up by 4 AM every day. I do all my outside work in the early moanin' before the sun comes up over Arrakis.

Temp went from a perfectly lovely 78F at daylight to the current 92F since then. I tried to sit under a mango tree to read, but even with a breeze and shade it is not comfortable. Rats-ass.

Was gonna stick it out anyway to get some of them Vitamin D's, but just as I got settled -- Fancy Pants showed up lookin' up at me. He wanted some black oil seeds (his fave). Pecking on the side of the foldy chair.

Now I am inside in the A/C. Better. And the giant birdie is happy.

I would be worried if a light rain and you were not home to remove it
Talk about the magnifier effect

Downstairs trimming. Also streaming Colo St/Michigan. My daughters alma mater is getting killed. Also listening to Outlaw Country. Trimming, listening and watching......how in the fk does one trim like that. Just ask me.

If that were true you couldn't grow in a greenhouse with clear plastic. Besides this is a big umbrella,,not one you carry in a car.

Got in an honest four hours with 87 degree heat and 70% humidity. Got stuff done, ripped out some grapevines (most invasive plant in the universe), and took out a bunch of bird shit trees. One of the vines got ripped out by the roots and was a for real forty feet long after I pulled it outta the birch tree. Fixed the rear tire on the Frankendeere (green slime) and had to ride it a round a few to seal the tire. Might as well mow the quarter mile strip next to the corn field. I'm whipped.

Shower taken, birds are out of their cages raising he ll, and I'm soakin' up the AC and a Coke Zero.

Walt, you get up just about the time I finally get to sleep.

Foxes hide in holes. I'm more inclined to dig tank traps.

@Hippie....dead wrong my friend. Grapes aren't the most invasive plant on the planet. I have grapes and they can be removed easily. I also have horseradish and you can't kill that s-hit. I fight it every year or it would take over my whole garden.

The fargin roots go clear to China. You can dround it with Round up and next spring ...there it is.
