Finished hosing the new plants and seed beds in a few minutes ago to make up for All That Rain we didn't get.

We were complaing about trees dropping sticks just yesterday.
That looks like a full dance card from here.

Even silver maple is good for BBQ smoke. Nature's bounty!

running vinegar in my coffee machines

I need to do that, too.

Over the passed week I've been de-liming a nice thick, stainless steel with copper bottom pot (Revere, I think). Got it at St. Vincent's for $3 for keeping a container of water simmering over winter near our gas fireplace.
But, Wifey threw it away - too dirty to clean.
I found it!

I just filled it with 50/50 water and cheap vinegar for a few days, no labor invested. But I also took shower heads and faucet bubblers off one at a time and sunk those for an hour or so in the vinegar.

Everything is shiny again, except for the bottom of the big pot. I found a perfect plastic bowl and dumped the vinegar into it. Floating the pot in that now, enough water in it to sink it to below the copper.

Done it before. It works!

Day b4 Monday here. Y'all don't even want to see all the downed and dying wood I need to get after with the chainsaws.

Chicken vendetta for breakfast. Cheese omelet with chicken chunks and hot salsa.2 slices of oatnut toast, one with raspberry jam. Rowed early. Finishing up coffee and figuring out how to plan the day around weather. Sky got funny colored at dusk last night but only thunder and lightning and a little water. No scaries.
