Got my mower today and a battery powered Ryobi trimmer. 1 set of pruning shears and lopping shears for trimming the branches away from the house. Couple small trees in the front planter. Battery is the same as my drill, so now I have 3 of them... prolly get more Ryobi shit once the garage cabinets and work bench are in.

Already showered after changing the outside spigot valve in the front. Couldn't find the water shutoff valve anywhere...

So got my swim trunks on, took off my shirt, prepped everything and took off the old valve and replaced it with a new one while the water flowed. Only got a little wet.

Will mow and edge tomorrow. Need to get some more Tenacity. Dude did not take care of this lawn and the weeds are every-damn-where. I'll give it 6 months to a year and if I can't get the damn things eradicated, I'll rip out the turf and put new stuff in.

Hah. Imagine that. Back in 1984 when my company got our bootcamp liberty weekend a few guys decided to shoot flaming shots of Barcardi 151. For some odd reason which I don’t recall I didn’t partake. Anyway one guy managed to splash a flaming shot all over his face. He ended up with a few splotches of third degree burns on his face and was rewarded with 4 extra weeks of bootcamp. Talk about a double Dutch f**k.

There used to be a punishing drink called a Bear Hunter.
- 1/2 shot Bacardi 151 Rum
- 1/2 shot Extra Sharp Ginger Brandy
- 7 drops of Tabasco sauce

After a few of those, the hangover was more preferable to the next three bowel movements.

One shot glass, two boozes. Think a very small cocktail.

I don’t even know you.....

Coffeed up, dog walked... took down the American Flag flying out front. I guess we're as ready as we can get.

Yard is not finished, but the weed barrier is down and the crushed granite is laid on top of it. The sand is still in a pile and I'm thinking if the wind and rain are heavy enough, ol' boy is gonna be buying more sand.

Rain predicted until Saturday so the fuggers won't be back to finish until Monday, more than likely.

Prudent. My town is kinda hilly and the wind can get rather whippy in harsh weather. When I flew flags outside, I'd go through about 3 per year. I tried all different fabrics but unless you had a super heavy duty one, they would take a beating.

Try flying a French flag. Damn thing turns all white after a few months.

MACS, you may need that sand for sandbags! Come to thihnk of it, you could sell it for $5 a bag, "no waiting". I heard lines were hours long to fill sand bags at approved locations on the coast. Why dont't people just go to the beach and get sand for sand bags?

39 with wind chill taking it to 33.
Two over medium eggs, spinach and garlic lovingly sandwiched between two slices of garlic cheddar toast.
Also trying to drink 128 ounces of water again today.
Coffee 3/4 the way down.
Dog walk and exercise planned for the mid and late morning.

Sorry for son's loss.

Tito has crossed the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge.

Experienced the sad loss of beloved pets numerous times.

Damn! I live where it's hot and dry, hustle 5 miles a day and don't think I drink half that much. Trying to flush something?
