Mornin'
Freddy left the door open, so we have a pot brewing. July sure flew by pretty fast!!!
Hope everyone is getting some work done in-between all the Summer activities.( graduations & weddings & cookouts & sports) Summer is too short. Take care all.
Cheers

I hope Freddy survives the mosquito's.....I just returned from Downeast Maine and they are at legendary levels. Takes more then coffee to ignore them like that....
I waved as I passed thru coal country. Short summer up there indeed, but it was beautiful.
Take care, and enjoy the rest of the summer, I have to get ready to take the family (grands) out on the boat....

Good Morning,Gang! Dfrost,Many Thanx for once again finding the door ajar and Firing Up the Works! In Honor of Freddy,I think I'll put a little DEET in the 'Ol Coffee Mug just to push away those Blood Thirsty Little Vampires! West Nile's been found in Lucas County,Ohio. That's just West of Sandusky Bay. You know how that mess is going to work out! Otherwise,while You're busy sweating Your Guts Out,start tripping the trigger on any of Your Winter Coal Supply and Burning Issues! Crap!,it's coming!! Take Care,Gang!!

Might as well be midnight snack now. I will get the pretzels.

Dad started hauling coal in to stock the yard up this week. I can’t believe it is that time already but the first two house coal deliveries left here Thursday morning.

Started out today with some mild truck repair, an air compressor head to be specific. At mid-morning I moved onto doing my middle-season service on the two big zero turn mowers. Blades were taken off and sharpened, decks cleaned out of what little cake was under them, all fittings greased and finally a good blowing off with the air gun and a nice wash job. Now we are ready for round two.

I lit a brush pile on fire Wednesday morning and part of it was still smoldering this evening so I kindled it back up and threw some old bookshelves and cabinets on that were nearly junk. There were some cardboard boxes and other odds and ends that had to go so I dispatched that stuff as well, just finishing up a half hour ago.

Enough for one day, I think it’s time to quit.

I survived a pool party, baseball game for the Lions Club Old Home Day, and the beer tent. Time to get back to reality and go to work for a full week.
