It’s like the Soup Nazi, but with Lexan shields. I forgot that we use 1/8″ Lexan for the shields on the machines. B left before I thought of it, but K had been saving small scraps because he was going to make picture frames or something, and there were lots. I got a couple of […]
Rudbeckia, not everything else. It’s a good thing my flowers stay busy because I didn’t do shit when I got home from work, except for making a new “dome” for the suet feeder, and buying a little piece of 1/8″ Lexan to cover the sides so that the trash birds currently able to cling to […]
That was today’s big accomplishment. Not that I’d decided for sure where the last two (Minuet) are going, but it started raining around 1430h (I was lying down for a nap!) I did get the little Java Red in the ground, though. They ended up going over with the first Java Red, and I hope […]
Not much, but I accomplished something, and that’s not bad for Saturday. It was a beautiful day, so I didn’t want to work my arse off, and we went to T’s in the evening, so a nap was critical. I finished the walkway edging in the morning. I’m not overjoyed, but it looks okay, and […]
I have had gFTP installed for…for practically as long as I’ve used Linux, which is about 10 years. Different distros, different computers, but I’ve always just copied the contents of my /home, or simply put it on a separate partition in the first place. I have passwords saved in gFTP, but I have absolutely no […]
It rained this morning, and after it finally stopped, I weeded the gravel path. Took out two buckets full, and that’s two buckets mashed down as hard as I could. Lots of crabgrass. Then, I got started on the post holes for the trumpet creeper. The first one wasn’t bad, except that I got rained […]
I’d better hurry, too, because it’s almost stopped raining! Lucifer crocosmia Bee balm in Sarah’s garden. Looks like the ordinary “Oswego tea”, but shorter, and smaller blooms. Still pretty! Raspberry something, or Fire Marshall. Dunno which. Buds on 544’sBright Lights. Go, crazy orange/gold/yellow flowers, go! Montbretia crocosmia Since I took yesterday and today as vacation […]
I’ve been slack about keeping up lately, but I took a couple of vacation days, and it’s raining right now, so I can’t dig the post holes for the trumpet creeper yet anyway, so… I finally got my little butterfly bush in the ground. Bee balm. The taller “Oswego tea” kind. Everything loves this stuff. […]
It stopped raining on Saturday so I hauled up the last load of gravel, and decided to put the paver base into the cee-ment pond. I actually won’t need the last 6 bags, but I’m keeping them anyway because I’m going to put pavers over the messy spot where the trash can sits. Anyway, the […]
I don’t have new patio pavers installed, but I do have a lovely in-ground pool. Buchheit dude texted to ask if he could deliver next week, and since it was pouring rain when I got the text, I could hardly argue.
