When I was in high school my dad got me a summer job holding signs for road construction. I thought it was going to be great... getting paid to stand around chat with people and work on my tan all day. On my first day they handed me a helmet and heavy high vis overalls and yelled at me over a walkie talkie all morning. I didn't return after lunch break. :oops:

The wife does Traffic Control part time it is good for the extra cash. I did tell her boss, who is my mate to have her back which helps. One of her coworkers slapped on the ass and said some sadistic shit once he was fired instantly.
But I was not satisfied so I went to his local pub. Politely grabbed him by the scruf and told him the sadistic shit I would do to him, if I heard his name again. He was a coward. Everyone else is really good though, you always get your bad apples.
I’ve had a few workers go missing never to be heard from again lol. I always think I can’t be that bad or am I?

checked my worm bin they are doing fairly good i am impressed tbh. surprised all the dragon fruit and melon rinds are almost gone. all the other stuff though still there like the apples and limes. i feed a decent bit again. added some idk how old corn cobs they had to be sitting in the freezer for like 4 months at least. and some grapes, old tomatoe, a old dried up beet. cleaned out the veggie drawer as well got some old romaine lettuce and bokchoy my grandpa grew that nobody is going to eat before it goes bad. put them in my freezer for now.

turned the bin over ( moved the contents around for air circulation ) bin is kinda wet for my liking probably from all the water i added plus the food moisture just not gonna add water anymore did that to wet the old soil i had in there for bedding. it smells alright though. not super stink. i can always add more cardboard in there to dry it up as well as remove the lid completely. the lid is on but about 90% on so not a whole lot of fruit flies can get it if i remove it off completely just allows more air to circulate the top portion drying it off quicker.

trial starts in about 5 hours lots of time to kill so far.

Got my veggie garden mostly planted today. I've been wanting to plant for 2 weeks now but the rain wouldn't let up and my rows were flooded. Then the other night it dropped into the mid 30s, so maybe the flooding was a blessing in disguise? So far I've done a 20ft row of San Marzano tomatoes, another row half with cucumber, half with cherry tomato, with a couple beefsteak. Both those rows have a few peas mixed in. A row of Swiss chard and mustard spinach with room for something else, probably lettuce. And a row of broccoli raab with a little room left, I think I have Brussel sprouts I'll plant there. I still have a couple open rows I'm not sure what I'm planting, I need to go through my seeds, probably more squash. I also started 2 patches of giant pumpkin. I'm going back out to do a couple patches of watermelon, then drop a bunch of sunflower seeds in the beds I prepped and seed my hugels with melons and squashes. I still need to guy buy some bell peppers, only thing I didn't start myself. I also put an unknown space tomato right outside my front door. There's a mound from where the stump of an oak was ground up last year and it's turned into good compost. Should be a fun experiment, I haven't grown outside in close to 10 years now.

It's been more than 20 years since I presented my wife with jewelry.:sad:

More than a few precious metal and gemstone pieces have been lost.>:(

Rings and earrings were bad enough to lose. :?
I made the decision not to buy any more jewelry the day I was told the
second tennis bracelet had been lost. :(
1 diamond and 1 emerald. POOF!! :wall:

She has never asked me about not getting more as gifts and I don't bring it up either.:?

In the early years I bought the wife the occasional ring or necklace. Real stuff, just from the pawnshop. She never wore them, and told me to stop after a few years.

Do you do convertibles with the top down?



I put 4 tomato plants in today. There were no parking spaces by my cousin's greenhouse store and I wasn't carrying a ton of plants a half a block.

I'll be there early tomorrow. Place was swamped with old people. (like me, lol)

My cousin tipped me off on how to make holes in plastic mulch. As long as it's not too windy.

It's a start. Look a little sad right now, check back in 2 months. Last year that bed overgrew out of control by August.
