What did you accomplish today?

Should have spent it on cocaine and women.

It’s between chicken and crocodile

I've had gator tail, I kinda figured it would be similar.

The locals on Guam do that also, first time I saw it. They also do mayo with boonie peppers.

I use a little cayenne on most fish and the trimmings too. I like the flavor and the pink color. I will grill it in a aluminum foil boat to save some of the juices and serve over a bed of white rice or wild rice.

was doing some car research not sure how i went to just browsing cars to finally deciding what i want to get. i was debating on getting a cheap ass old car at first something reliable wont break down so i was thinking of a civic then i was thinking if imma get a civic at that year like early 2000's or 90's even i might as well get into modding and since everyone here has a damn modded civic i try to be different. looked at my options and prices and decided to go with integra's problem with that is they are a lot harder to find here i only found about 3-4 all cheap but 1 has been slightly modded and not worth it, the other 2 are more recent models being 01's and one is a 95 but it's a sedan. not a bad thing but when you think of modding you don't think of sedans tbh. it's possible but im sure there is a good reason such as sedans are slightly heavier if your into racing.

cost wise is about $4-6k that means i can buy a car this year and spend the rest of it on upgrades. would likely fix it up first make sure everything is working as intended then start to actually mod it. since i still have to save up and all that imma just wait it out and see what is available when i scrape up the cash. if i have to buy manual i'll buy manual given idk how to even drive manual but im sure my dad can teach me. then he can also teach me how to maintain my car as well which is why i want to get a beater as well.

Buy a used 2003-2011 crown victoria police car. There usually dirt cheap, well maintained and they'll go a half million miles with basic maintenance. They're simple to work on, parts are cheap and they're fairly indestructible. They redesigned the chassis in 03 and they handle extremely well for a full size car. There are suspension upgrades available to make them handle even better and they accept most engine performance parts that fit mustangs. If you can find a Sport model, they have nice bucket seats an be a floor console/shifter I have one I've put all billet aluminum rear suspension, dual exhaust and a cold air intake and it'll out maneuver mustangs in the twisties, but they take me in the straights. Once I get the turbo on there, they won't know WTF just happened.

*not my car

Went and watched the dragon boat races on the island yesterday. We couldn't really see much from our spot, I didn't care, I was only there for the funnel cake. Roads are all closed all around my place for a parade this morning so I'm staying in and avoiding the craziness.

Mornin. Gonna warm up again but it is June so... I think my goal today is to deadhead as many roses as I can. Looks like I got the sprinkler timer set correctly, the grass is getting watered with no intervention. The dog is getting her share because she is attacking the sprinklers, she isn't afraid of getting wet at least.

Do you have a problem with black spot where you live? I started early on spraying, so maybe I got ahead of it this year.

For once I'm not jealous of your weather.

All the time, my roses are naked right now because of it, I'm behind the power curve again, go figure. I'll get them sprayed after I get them all deadheaded, and I use the Bayer systemic fertilizer and pest control to feed them. I'm thinking about changing my drip sprinklers to 1/4 inch soaker hose so they will get more water.

At least it is a "dry heat" lol. If our humidity goes above 30% during the day it is uncommon, it does happen sometimes though. Not like in the Midwest or south where the temp and humidity compete with each other for dominance.

I found the only thing that works for me is a variety of alternating fungicides. Last 2 years it's worked pretty good if I start early enough with the spraying. I know some of these will damage leaves in high temps though.

Mancozeb Flowable Fungicide - contact
27.15% Copper diammonia diacetate complex - contact
Chlorothalonil 29.6% Concentrate - contact
Captan Wettable Powder 50% - contact
Propiconazole 1.55 % - systemic
Tebuconazole - systemic
Spectracide Immunox (Myclobutanil) - systemic

Morning folks, hope everyone had a good father's day......

Coffee is up and hot, currently sitting on the porch watching it rain with one of my dogs, she doesn't like it when it thunders, guess most dogs don't.....it's all good...

Spent the weekend mostly mowing and weedeating around the house and the shop, after that it was a big plung in the pool to cool the ol body off, course i did it with all my clothes on too.....wife later came out brought me a cold beer and my pipe nice a full how i like it....and a big towel...lol....

Finished the molding, caulking and transition pieces of the bamboo flooring in the master bedroom. All that's left is measuring and cutting the walk-in closet door and mounting it but not doing that until I get the bed back together. Gotta wait on the wife to get home to move back in and then move my daughter out of her room to get started on it.

And no making fun of my daughter's radio...or the fact I stole it. It's got the latest Stone Temple Pilots CD in it, so it's all good.

I usually get black spot on my roses but not this year -- too dry.
In fact, my favorite pink rose has ever looked better!

I should get a pic...
-- edit --

Looks like I need to trim dead heads...

I use Orthenex, it takes care of insects, powdery mildew and black spot, among other things. A couple times a year between blooms works fine.
