Perfection takes time.

Tell that to the bosses @slonezp

The hard part is over! Now we need to couple all 8 pipes together and fill in this 13’ deep hole. I lost a couple years of life on this 350’ shot. 
 

 

My wife came home from the In Laws last night with my orders. Big limbs blown down after some storms blew through. Started at 8am and just got home. Man I love Summer heat and humidity. 

@GreenPig, we were cutting trees off my buddies house last night as well, had an F2 come thru 

He's been begging me to take him to catch catfish. A bullhead is close enough.

Was out of the country for over a week and was very nervous about the state of my garden. Came home to see it flourishing with a lot of fruit ready to harvest. Chocoalate Pear and Candy Apple Cherry tomatoes, scallions, green beans, basil and oregano. We have enough basil and oregano to open an Italian and Greek joint. 

Man, I miss our little countertop herb garden.

 

Couldn't catch a fish this morning, so I took a picture instead.

 

So this big fella is at a petting zoo in Sturgeon Bay WI. He's an old man and 3 years ago the farmers figured he wouldn't last another year. Big fella is still alive and kicking. We visit the farm once or twice a year. His head is the size of my thigh.

Your gopro hit that perfectly. 

These 3 amigos were laying in my neighbors yard this morning when I took the dog for a walk.

my garden pathetically produced 7 tomatoes so far.  7.  but they are huge.

 

Any of y'all missing a puppy?

A first for us. You can just see the butt of a normal one leaving the frame on the left.

 

Little bit of smoke with a little bit of salmon.

I take catch and release very seriously.

This is the best my yard has looked since I moved here in May 2022…4 inches of rain in 8 days with an application of weed n feed. It’s like walking around on outdoor carpet right now.

That’s exactly how I felt last spring of 22, then last years summer drought wiped it out. Have yet to decide if I should have it reseeded, after 40 years of working on it I’m a bit frustrated.

 

yours looks great, maybe I should move to MN.

You need some zoysia! I’ve never done anything except cut mine. Here’s how she looks today

We've had a drought every summer since 2021 too.  We catch back up in the winter when we get a mountain of snow that melts.  Then it turns hot and dry in June again.

 

I have a sprinkler system for my yard but it cannot keep the grass lush and green for long periods of time without any rain.  Its meant to be more "complimentary" to average rain fall rather than the sole source of water.  I have mature trees too so they provide shade to some areas and keep it out of the baking sun.

 

I happened to time this just right, as I applied a heavy load of weed n feed to the yard a day before we started to get a series of systems moving through that dropped over 4 inches of rain in 9 days.

About three quarters of the way through mowing the Inlaws 5 acres yesterday when my John Deere sucked a drain hose from the camper under it from 2' away. It was a well built hose with 717 miles of wire in it.
