Excitement around the Pony Express farmstead tonight. Was trying in vain to hack down foot tall crabgrass with the riding mower, wife comes running out motioning to come over- seems as she was about to go into the well house, a small copperhead was coming out. She thought it was huge, bigger than the water hose. Turned out to be about 16-18 inches long, not huge, but big enough! By the time we located it, it was trying to hide(also in vain) in a patch of daylilies and other ground cover plants. final score: Shovel-1, Snake-0.

Garden of Eden it too, had it's serpents    glad you found it,  before it found your wife, a child or pet !

Rain in the forecast....beyond that,  same thing different day.

I got the yards mowed this morning. I am cooling off and thinking about breakfast. No clue for Supper tonight. We have overcast and cooler temps. A good day for mowing.

[Russ T Chambers]

I was looking at my lawn this morning, and thinking it needs a haircut already!  Maybe tomorrow if it dries out early enough.
Today was one of our watering days, but I'm thinking about turning off the evening cycle.  We're turning into heavy overcast and thunder, so we may get some natural watering this afternoon. 

Don't have to cook tonight, but thinking about chicken and cheese casserole for supper tomorrow night.  Now that she who still works is back, I need to get back into my normal schedule.

chicken salad stuffed avocado for dinner ....cool & tasty

Don't have copperheads here. Do have timber rattlers in certain placed in WI, but none 'round here that I know of.
Eat too much fer lunch. Don't feel like any supper.

I had some raisin bran and a Bagel for Breakfast on the Patio. I did not get around to Lunch and no clue for Supper. Moose went to pickup her car at the dealership. I know she hated to turn in that 2015 CTS. She is going by the grocery store for provisions for the rest of the week.

[Russ T Chambers]

Got some mid afternoon thunder and a little sweat from the clouds.  Back to blue skies and scattered white cumulus now. 

Doing my cheesy chicken and rice casserole for supper.  Back to creating leftovers for the non-cooking nights.

Leaving the sprinklers off for tomorrow morning to allow for mowing by mid-morning.  Then I'll wet things down again.

[Russ T Chambers]

Looks like everyone is sleeping in this morning, so I'll put a pot on and heat up some water for the late risers.

[Delmonico]

I'm up, just quiet.

[Major 2]

Was up and off the the work 20 ..had to go to Home depot for some T 50 staples

When in the south entrance ..left by the North entrance, get a call from one of my carpenters ( "he's under the weather and won't be in"...so I'm distracted 

Walk to my SUV electronically unlock it several feet away , open the door and about get in when I see a green coffee cup...WTH I don't have green coffee cup..where that come from...look around and it not my SUV
Near identical maybe messier  ...but not mine , and I'm  1/2 way in  DoH !

Mine is in the next row over , it lights on showing I just key-less open it , I figure  the other one was just left open.
Glad I didn't get caught.

I guess the next milestone in life,  will be when I forget where I parked the dam thing

Don't have that "where did I park it?" at the local HD, but there is something about the parking structure at Reno/Tahoe airport!  I swear when I park there to pickup "she who still works", the structure moves my 4-Runner two  or three rows back and shifts it several stalls over.

[Delmonico]

Get a purple 4WD pick-up, hard to lose in the parking lot, remember, if you drive wife's black suv thing, they all look alike.   

[Russ T Chambers]

Del
The few times I have taken the wife's white Mitsubishi when she's out of town, I first have to quit looking for the 4-Runner, then have to start going through all the mid-sized, white four door cars that seem to own the parking lots around here!

Think she might notice if I put a big purple X on the roof of her car?

[Major 2]

I recall so many years ago , the local FM Rock radio station, offered " tenna toppers"

Day- glo Orange  Styrofoam ball for you cars telescope antenna , the idea  A.  advertise  WFUN Radio and B. help you see your car in a sea of a parking lot.....

Little fricking good it did...everyone got them before long , and every antenna sported one ! 

But in my case early this morning , the SUV was exactly my same model & color.... and I was distracted enough by the phone call,
I just assume it was mine....

There care sooo many black hamsters running around now, that we have to be extremely careful in the parking lot anymore

I was working myself,up at normal time just didn't get a chance to get on here.Mowed and trimmed again today. Was on my own, Boss had to take his better half to Stat-Care. Seems she either got stung  or bit by a spider. Twice no less, her had is swollen pretty bad

[pony express]

Wife's car is a charcoal gray Trailblazer. Currently the most common car on the planet, it seems. Common enough that I actually know the license number, just to be on the safe side. A few years ago, I had a silver Taurus, would have been just as bad, except I used it on the mail route, so it was always the dirtiest car on any parking lot.

Today is National Hotdog Day at Sonic. Chili Dog and All-American Dog are $1. I went down and bought some for Lunch. Victoria enjoyed the Dogs. We had not had any Sonic Dogs in a long time. Supper is undecided for tonight. We are officially in the dog days of Summer(100 Degrees daily).
