Not much to tell other than it got hot and in a hurry. From 70’s last week to upper 90’s this week with heat index numbers at 107!… ouch… I played radio a lot yesterday and was testing the new antenna config. It worked great in the morning but the bands went strange in the afternoon and then today the bands were so bad I didn’t even try. I did cook dinner last night…
I marinated chicken breasts (over night) in a Spice and Brandy marinade I found at Walmart… pretty good stuff… and I baked a couple of potatoes and we had fresh tomatoes and pepper… just right for dinner and had one breast for later and one to freeze in the food saver vacuum bag for way later…
Today I got out and did my 3 mile walk… several other people out this morning. Guess they all know it will get hot. It wasn’t bad at 7am but was getting up there by 9… I got back had some juice and sat on the back deck for awhile before jumping on my coax bury job/edger work…
That is just a part of the plant collection as there is about the much behind me in the shaded area…
I did the edging first on the drive and sidewalk… got all that done then moved to the back to edge in a line for the coax to lay in so I wouldn’t end up mowing it at some point… still had to use the shovel in spots but got it laid in ok…
I did notice that I have several Mushrooms coming up in spots around the yard… all that rain has kicked them off… I quit to make lunch in town… nothing exciting there and on the way home I stopped at the local walmart to get some more beer… can’t work in this heat with out a few beers? and as I was leaving I saw something you don’t see too often…
Look to the right… a tractor parked in the employee area? I think it is the employee area but could be ? not real sure… if they had to drive this to work then I hope he has a job afterward to pay for the fuel… or maybe it is the only running means of transportation? at least it has a cab and I must assume air conditioning, but maybe not?
I cooked dinner again tonight… easier to use the grill outside than heat up the house… so tonight…
Grilled squash (seasoned) and grilled burger patty… oh and fresh tomatoes too… After dinner???? fresh blackberries from the back yard and ice cream… can’t beat that…
So that is the exciting stuff here… I need to get out and do some pictures but have several yard projects that I need to work on as well… not sure if I will dig up Iris bulbs or mix concrete for the drain ditch… of course it will be a morning job and rest up in the afternoon as it will be too hot to work…
