Been picking fairly steady, but my plants have been invaded with squash bugs. Tryin to keep up with them is a dauntless task. 2 plants KIA another not looking so good

Wife made some dill refrigerator pickles

Not tools, just some SS hardware. Actually only needed one thing for an upcoming hack and that got split from the order and won’t be here til next week.

My wife took that one and 6 or 8 others up to the lake this weekend. Could be used for ????? She and her “crew” of ladies always share recipes. I just made 2 loaves of zucchini bread the other day…. that’s 6 so far this year.

Myself. I just want the red pepper ones.

It’s just porcupine meatballs…. brown burger with some diced onion. Add salt, pepper, worchestershire, and some ketchup and or tomato sauce. Add cooked white rice (around 2 cups cooked per lb of beef) and form into…[Read more]

I tried different brands… they all stunt them but never seem to completely kill them. I do my best to keep the vines at bay before they flower and set seeds.

Yesterday I went through a battery and a 1/2 on my trimmer, then I went on Morning Glory vine control… I hate that stuff ! It grows through the chain link fence from the neighbors side and every where it touches dirt it sends down more roots and up more vines. I got t…[Read more]

Turned out nice Jim. I also just finished a yardsale rescue. The wife bought this for $10, wrought iron frame with ratan top and drawers. The ratan is dry and brittle and the top has some breaks in it and wouldn’t take much to completely break it. Soo,…[Read more]

The wife made some “un-stuffed” peppers yesterday. Used our vacuu-sealed bell pepper chunks and some canned tomatoes from last years garden.

The wife hit some yard sales on Saturday. Came home with this 6ft fiberglass ladder for $25

Almost identical to my last encounter with HD. Mine was for a refund for store cancelled items because they were oos. I will say this, don’t depend on the stores website that shows how many are in stock. I also had a gift card involved a…[Read more]

@Boschmanbrian Was going to buy the Dewalt spool, but after more reading I went with an Echo. Read alot of complaints about the Dewalt bump cover being thin and prone to breaking. Also got it at HD.. couple $ cheaper than “A” and was in stock (for a change) Will put it on the trimmer and give it a test run later today

My one complaint about my DeWalt trimmer is reloading the line. Has anyone replaced the stock spool with a fast “speed” reloading spool ? If it works as good as the reveiws say, it’s worth the cost

That’s just great.

I’m trying it again , yesterday it was only 1 bar , today I’m getting 2 ,

I’ll leave it for a few minutes while I drink my coffee , then try to put it on the charger 🤞

I hope it works for you. I didn’t leave my jump connected, just touched it for about 3 – 5 secs a few times. My dead battery still showed no bars,…[Read more]
