Popular Post other dog Posted May 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2023 Man, these allergies are kicking my ass. Woke up about 3am with a sore throat, nose been running like crazy. Otherwise I don't feel sick or anything, so I guess it's allergies. Funny, allergies never bothered me before though. But I mowed the grass in a big cloud of dust the other day, it's terrible dry here. Especially this part where we fenced in the back yard so the dogs can run. Now, if we could just get the grass to grow there... I had some ribs in the smoker yesterday, they came out really good. Saw a sharp looking Mustang at the store yesterday. And I saw this big fat lizard. There's apparently a whole family of them out here by the shed. A here we have a girl in a car, from the interweb, since that's about the only place I'll see a girl in a car anymore. 4 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted May 19, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2023 Speaking of moving, we're moving slowly. I have to go over and get the pickup today so I can haul a load over tomorrow. It's been at the new place all week with the smoker on the back because I didn't have anybody to help unload it. But I have a plan- i'm going to put the ladder from the ground to the tailgate, like a ramp. Then i'll put one end of the smoker on it and just slide it off. Speaking of Amazon, I ordered some metal fence posts from Amazon- I know, who knew, right?- and they're supposed to be here today. I got 2 100' rolls of plastic fencing to put around the garden. My neighbor across the road has a post driver I can borrow. I planted some green beans last weekend so i'm gonna try to get the fence up tomorrow, because deer and rabbits both like any kind of beans when they're coming up. The garden started out as just a field, the neighbor that we bought the place from used to keep it bush hogged, but that was all. I mowed the grass in a rectangle shape on the most level area there and just used the roto-tiller until I finally got it looking like this. I wanted to do that whole mowed area, but that tiller about worked me to death, I just had to keep going over it over and over and over. That's grass and rocks that I raked over to the side there. Then I talked to a guy up the road with a tractor and he said he would plow it for me, so I went ahead and planted 3 rows. We've got tomatoes, peppers, squash, and zuccini there. I didn't try to keep everything tight like I did here, I left enough space in between the rows and plants to run the tiller between them. We never did see tractor guy, so last weekend it was back to the tiller. I managed to about double the original size and planted the green beans, some cucumbers, and a couple of watermelons. That's 2 4' rolls of plastic fence on the ground at the far end. I still want to eventually biggerize it to where I had originally mowed, then I can plant potatoes and onions, maybe some sweet corn. The cucumbers and cantalopes take lots of room because the vines spread so much. Here's 2 dogs in a car. 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 Well, no posts. I checked Amazon and they're being prepared for shipping. 2 reasons that I ordered them from Amazon was that they were supposed to be here yesterday, and I figured they would be cheaper than tractor supply. Tractor Supply is usually the most expensivest place to get anything but I just checked and the posts were actually cheaper. So I cancelled the Amazon order and will just go to tractor supply and get them. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 speaking of lizards, I was going to throw this tub away that was sitting by the back porch, but last weekend we noticed that it was full of lizards so we left their happy home. I took this picture today and you can see six or seven of them in there. I'm sure they eat lots of bugs. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Vladislav Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Good job on the fence and I see a new page of the life book has opened. Which neck of the woods this place is located?

Looks like not a great distance to move. I mean things like the smoker and others. And you will still be in the same neighbourhood. The most important point it's also quite close to Winfall for a chance you have a slack day to drive by or check in a grossery shop. Wish you and Zina (and the dogs) smooth and easy relocation 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72833-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-531821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted May 22, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2023 Thank you Vlad, and yes, Winfall is still pretty close. I was driving through Winfall the other day and took this picture because the mountains in the background were so pretty. 1 1 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

OD, If your critters are anything like the ones around here I've had to get the wire hoops to lock the fence down as they quickly figure out how to get underneath. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72833-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-531855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
