I have a couple of knockoff EGO batteries. They have been great. But, once they are done charging I store them in a fire cabinet. Can never be too careful.
Gave me nightmares as Pennywise. May he rest in peace.

Was in South Dakota last summer and there were a few hot days while I was there. Upper 80’s to low 90’s. In the sun you felt it but in the shade I was completely comfortable. Did some hikes through some wooded area where I never even broke a sweat.

Keep your mouth closed while outside. Unless you need some extra protein.

Been having a frequent visitor for a couple of weeks now. This morning there’s a few of them fighting over the feeder. :lol:
Some storm cleanup. We got hit with a pretty strong thunderstorm last night. I was happy to take the rain cause we needed it. Could’ve done without the 8 hour long power outage.

ETA: For the rest of the week I don’t have much. I have a few long term projects in mind for the both the lawn and garden, but I doubt I’ll start on any of them till we get some cooler weather.
Bloodrayne.

But, I’ve never seen Battlefield Earth. I’ve heard that’s the gold standard.
I’d go the sod route. I remember some discussions on this board a while back about how St Augustine is difficult to get viable plugs due to the way it grows and spreads. I could be remembering wrong, though.

Ison's nursery. They're in Georgia. I ordered from them before and everything came in great condition.

ETA: They sell plugs instead of bare roots. Nothing wrong with bare roots but I figured plugs would be a little bit of a head start.

Do it anyway.

Plenty of days where I feel tired and don’t want to work out. Always glad I did afterwards.

Same. Not seeing near as many as usual.

I’ve never had too much of an issue with birds. They’ll get some but I still usually harvest plenty. I think they’re more focused on the blackberries. Which, they can help themselves. They produce way more than I can eat!

Just preordered some camarosa strawberry plugs. They’ll ship in October. I tried festival in the spring but they slowly just all died. I still have a handful of plants hanging on but they look rough in this heat. They started dying out in the spring just randomly. One by one. Don’t know if it’s a soil issue or what. But I’m going to have to take a good look at that before planting the next crop.
We had visited the NASA Space Center in Houston a couple of months ago. So after that my kids wanted to watch Apollo 13 (after learning about it). I had the DVD, and also the When We Left Earth Documentary.

Before that it was probably my Lord of the Rings Extended Edition. But I don't remember the last time I watched it. Probably a year or so ago.
