My shoulder is hurting, so I'm taking it easy again today... all I did was make a small loaf of rye bread & a blueberry cobbler.

Harvested more tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers & the last of the green beans. The mail lady came to pick them up.

Refilled the salt for the water softener & replaced the filter in the well house.

Started spraying the yellow nutsedge in the pastures (this is going to take a good while). Ordered more marker dye, surfactant & a new pump for one of the sprayers.

Catching up on some unfinished work this week. I built this addition for the CNC Router and haven't had time to put siding on it. The 'Tyvek' has been doing the work keeping the elements out for 6 months. I will say that it has done a good job though, not a drop of moisture in the shop.

 

[Mr_Yan]

90 F as the high, mostly cloudy for the day.

The weather forecast has us under a "Beach Hazard Statement" that shows as a warning on weather.com. Hmm didn't have that problem at my old house. All kidding aside that is a high wave / current warning not to swim in Lake Michigan. Do not under-estimate or not respect that lake. If you don't respect that lake it could very well kill you.

Full day at work
Mowed the lawn
Walked the dog
Used the kiddy pool water to water tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant
Grilled burgers and summer squash for dinner

 

[w_r_ranch]

Burned the trash (cardboard & feed sacks).

Fed the cattle.

The man cave at the casa is finally done. Moved all the septic stuff to the back. Currently looking at Homes and Hunters magazines for the décor. Pavement walk ways not the best, but it will do for now.

My most prized possession. Hand made from a good friend and his lovely wife. I'am planning on framing this in my office.

Dieter went to the vet today as he has been puking the past week... He has a pancreas infection per the blood test, so he got a couple of shots & pills. He is also going on a prescription dog food as the blood test shows he is having an issue with the 18% fat content of his regular food. I told the vet "Whatever it takes". Dieter is not happy about his being limited to how much raw meat he gets, although he likes eating yogurt. I ordered his prescription dog food, both wet & dry. He also weighs 98 lbs now, although he doesn't look that heavy... By this afternoon he appeared to be his normal rambunctious self.
