OSUT#256 - Easter Bunny, Solar Eclipse...what's next?

[DoggyDaddy]

Nap time for me.

 

[GregD]

Late lunch here.

I love it when I brush across one of my older posts and there are a bunch of ANGRY ricochet marks.

I mostly like to share a snicker or two.
A lot of that political stuff I plop here (not many free speech places left) is because it steamed me over when I saw it.
Every ANGRY mark is confirmation of my sanity.
Brothers and sisters at arms.
Bless you folks!

back from volunteering, shoveled mulch and ran a wheelbarrow for 2 hours, some youngsters there I had to out work.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Up from my nap and trying to decide what to do first. I think I'm going to go cut a tree out of the back fence that's been bugging me. It's going to be a surgical operation to get it out of the chain link and then treat the stump with Tordon.

Fishing at the beach?? Gladly take your place!!

No such luck.

I know the pain.
Our old house had some willow shrubs growing up through the chainlink. It took me a week to get it all out.
Discovered a ground dwelling hornet nest while I was digging. Gave up on digging.

Tordon did the trick, though.

Tree is gone, along with several other volunteer mulberry trees I came across here and there. Also found a good sized maple branch that had come down out back and got it busted up and on the burn pile. I know I've got some more dead branches down over in the side yard. That's next on the list. At least one of those is going to take some chainsaw work to get it down to burn pile size.

This one was a maple and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. Just had to make cuts on both sides of the fence to get it all out. I was afraid it had grown around some of the chain link but it hadn't.

Wind seems to be dying down finally.

 

[BeDome]

Watching my son get started mowing, dog out with us. It's a new thing that the dog is not afraid of "The Monster," but he kept right on my son's heels for several passes.

I had a frivolous passing notion that the dog thought, if you're walking that thing, I'm next. Wife said he's protecting the boy from the thing, if it acts up.
She was right, I think.

I praise the little guy for conquering his fears, either way.

When I was a kid, we had an old Jacobsen reel mower with a sulky on it that I would cut the grass with. We had a wire haired fox terrier named Missy that would bite the tires on the mower while I was mowing! She hated that thing with a passion.

The temps are preventing me from casting.
The MIL has more stuff she would like me to do in the coming days, so probably won't get to cast then either.

 

[Lpherr]

Guess I'll go over and get some porch measurements to draw up an estimate.
See if it ends up a go, or not.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy Lpherr.

 

[GregD]

Hi Lpherr

 

[BeDome]

Hey, Lpherr

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Got more crap cleaned out of the corner of the yard and big branches cut up and on the burn pile. Hopefully the wind will die down some more in the next hour or two and I'll go ahead and light it.

 

[BeDome]

Wind has drifted from mostly a southwest direction when it first kicked up, to a more westerly direction, now.

Stills seem pretty breezy.
Something going on downtown, despite.
I saw people wrestling with tents.

Driving by I could hear a band in the distance, but it was warm up.
I might get more curious once the Saturday traffic dies down.

Just found out my wife is making tamale casserole. Only her third at bat here, but a homerun each time before.

I'm saving myself for this!
