Last post by Philip - July 21, 2026, 10:53:07 AMMorning crew,
Another rain day in the valley.
So far kale, lettuce, and red/yellow cherry tomato's Rick. Corn and potato's are doing good compared to last years wash-out. Gena is already canning again. Peppers are slowly blooming.
USPS has raised shipping prices again. Guess who paying.....

How long did you leave the roof panels in the etchant?
Nice to see the framing done too.
Thanks Rick,
One piece at a time, roughly 40 seconds per piece. The process slows down as the acid degrades.

Missed checking in yesterday. I had three unscheduled doctor's app. Blood work, EKG, stress test to make sure I was able to have the eye surgery next Monday. I told them I did all three of those five weeks ago. Nope we want it done again. So, that was that.
No bench time yesterday and possibly none today. We have bowling practice today. I told Pam I didn't need the practice, not because I'm that good, but it will be the last time I can bowl until after the eye surgery. Dr. says 2-3 months with no heavy lifting, eye staining, or long term leaning over.
I guess I'll need to find someone to edge and cut the grass for a few months.
Have a safe and happy day everyone.
Tom

Last post by TomO/Tloc - July 21, 2026, 08:46:26 AMGood morning from So Central Wisconsin that is smoke free this morning. The AQI is at 54. The reason? 15 mph winds that started last night and have continued overnight into this morning. The gusts are in the 20's definitely blowing the smoke elsewhere. It's 70f degrees now and 78 later. Yesterday we had maybe 15 minutes of rain in the morning and none of the predicted storms showed up last night. We are very dry!
The trip out to the party tent at 8:30 last night went as expected by me! Mosquitoes up the gazoo! They were thick. It's what I tried to explain to a lady with a PhD and another with a MBA. You cannot build 500' from a yes absolutely beautiful wetlands and not find mosquitoes. Wetlands is a government definition of a fricking swamp and swamps mean insects. We will go out again tonight.
We were supposed to go to a Mets/Brewer game tonight in Milwaukee. Terry called yesterday to ask if we could switch to another game because of the smoke haze. The Brewer ticket people were wonderful in helping her out. So instead we will sit by a swamp tonight.
Rick are those trees Aspens?
Enjoy the day

Last post by deemery - July 21, 2026, 08:17:48 AMQuote from: jbvb on July 20, 2026, 09:49:25 PMDefinitely better. I associate steep slopes with woody plants and vines that root deeper than grasses.And tall grasses... That's a look I haven't figured out how to achieve 'at scale'. ('scale' here being both HO scale and over a long area...)
