Saw this on an Instagram post and wanted to give it a try. Potato and bacon roses.

I only put in one zucchini plant this year but I still have more than I know what to do with. I will definitely have my fill until next year. Some stuffed zucchini I made the other night. Scooped the insides out and added hamburger, onions and rice with tomato sauce then topped them with cheese.

It varies by department. As long as we pass the fit test we're allowed to have facial hair.

Harvested 2 of our 17 rows of potatoes and pulled just over 100lbs out. I'll dig up the rest this weekend when I get more sacks. Should have close to 1,000lbs when all done.

Went on an 8 hour call for a hay fire during one of our hottest days. I think an electric fence caught the grass on fire and carried over to hay shelters. Ended up calling a box alarm and had multiple departments join us, we dumped a quarter million gallons of water to finally get it all out.

Hamburger and rice

Had to trim some leaves off the cabbage in the garden because they were getting over grown and decided to stuff them for dinner.

We have a system down so no one gets hurt. We've had misfires in the past and learned lol.

Just got all the fireworks to where we'll be lighting them. 450 mortars and 60 something cakes.

Setting up for tonight's fireworks show. Me and a couple firefighters have been putting one on for the last couple years for the village.

Superman's powers. The rest I'll figure out after. Good luck everyone.

Put a new seat cover on my girlfriend's grandpa's 4 wheeler. It's a 40 year old Honda fourtrax that needed it badly. Also had to fix my brush hog because I hit a rock the size of a basketball and sent the blades through the deck.

And done! Took less than 3 days to build. Now if the weather would warm back up. Been in the low 70s the last week.

Those prices are why I've considered doing it as a side job but when lumber spiked and people still wanted it done cheap I decided I'll keep doing it when I feel like it. I've done at least one deck a summer since I was 16 and I'm 41 now, I'm no professional but I have plenty of experience.

My own sister hired a "professional" to do her deck thinking the quality would be better than mine. It sat with just the framing done for 3 months and when she finally came begging for me to finish it I ended up rebuilding what the previous guy did because it wasn't code. I still cut her a deal...

I love/hate it when I post my deck builds on Facebook and I get a bunch of people asking if I could do one for them. Like okay but I charge almost as much as the cost of materials, then they get pissy asking why it costs so much when I can do it so fast. They don't understand they're not only...

I was looking at those and they cost as much as the deck. Around 2 grand. Might be a while.

Picked up the materials for the deck Sunday morning and have most of it built already.

This won't be permanent, only up for as long as the pool, few years at the most. This way gives me the option to pull the posts and fill the holes when I take it down. There's no building codes where I live so I can pretty much build how I want as long as it works. I'll be using treated 4x6s to...

It's been a temperature roller-coaster for us. Couple days in the 90s then back to the 70s. Gives a little time to get projects done. Couple more weeks and it'll stay hot so I'm hoping to have everything finished.
