Island Of Misfits

[Hippie420]

Wish I'd have taken a pic of the vine I cut down a few years back. 4" across, and had grown up and choked out a pine tree.

The college boys at the UofM claim that the vines won't kill trees. They should get off their asses and go out into the real world instead of regurgitating crap they learned from books.

It's funny; Ya take a 200 pound hippie and a 22 pound dog. I'll be munching on a jerky stick, the little guy comes up in mooch mode. I break off a big chunk and hand it to him. He woofs it down and looks up at me with the, "Bro, no way that was half" look. Go figure.

Good night

G'night. I'll be right behind ya.

Well boys and girls, it's time for this old hippie to lasso a nightmare to ride down the Navaho Trail. Hug anyone that's too slow to get away from ya, and be glad you're livin' the life you're livin'. God knows, it can always get worse.

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.

Jeebus... You got more done in four hours than I did in 2021.

Several years ago, there was an error in the UF online serpentology section regarding cottonmouth moccasins. They stated the maximum length was 34". I simply sent them a photo of Himself holding a live moccasin that was clearly way longer than the professors thought. It was quietly changed, and is now spot on.

Good morning, Inlanders.

Yet another lovely day starting at 61F @ 87% RH, with 2mph breeze and predicted to reach 81F. One of the joys of Portland is the sea breeze at night usually cools things down, regardless of how hot it got during the day.

I finished my Medusa update and sent it out. Good reviews so far and getting more support as it progresses. Copy attached for any interested:

I helped my neighbor cut down a gate and then he helped me by hauling off a trailer load of junk from the back yard and patio. A 35-year accumulation of flowerpots, broken barbeque, umbrella, wheelbarrow, etc, et al. 35 years of accumulation gone in one load and starting over..............

An empty calendar and I will take it easy today, cause my back is rebelling from all the action.

I'm fking pissed. I found out yesterday why my backyard was taking an ass whipping. I thought it was drought but it was those god damn Chinch bugs. They said they are real bad in the south this yr due to the hot weather. I've never had them before. These fkers can kill a beautiful lawn in no time. I've got dead spots everywhere. They haven't touched my front yard thank God. Got True Green coming next week to kill the mother fkers. My god those bastards are bad. Little bastards you can't hardly see unless you get down really close and start looking. The fkers we're everywhere. Good thing is True Green is going to kill them and any other bad bugs like Mosquitos, fleas,spider mites and grubs and I'm sure even the good ones but I can't separate the good from the bad right now. These fkers have got to go

Morning Misfits. Fargin chilly here. Funny will hit the 90's later.... high 40's at sunrise.

@ Hopper, I fight bugs all summer long. Japanese beetles are the worst. Kill my grass (grubs) then hatch and go after my flowers and garden.

Will be trimming most of the day today. Lemon Betty today. Strawberry OG yesterday. I am moving on from the Strawberry....good stuff but no yield. I tried to get a better crop this time by pruning the popcorn buds at the bottom but didn't help.

Got the house down to the low 60's today. Hopefully won't have to run the ac later after it warms up. But I need to put on a sweatshirt...cold in here.

Rained like a mother fker yesterday evening. Had to bring my girls up on the porch. Decided to give them a trim job while I had them up on a table.
