It's still far from cool here, but the weather is starting to change. It's nice in the mornings at least. It feels good to be outside again and doing stuff without dripping sweat the whole time.
I get so much more results from the greenhouse than the outside garden it's amazing. I just recently planted more potatoes and green beans in it. It will protect them long enough to get one more crop to can. I had planted a store bought seed pack of several things, but the seeds were old and didn't germinate. So yesterday I replanted the spinache and onions. It's possible to heat it and grow all year, but I'm ok with just prolonging the growing seasons, both before and after.

We've had pretty good luck in the winter with a little heat at night. Sounds like we'll repeat again this year.
Glad it is cooler, but pushed 90 again yesterday...

Just went into the greenhouse. Fan is running and the temp was about 103. Still waiting for fall to really kick in.

Bought myself a 5.11 Rush Moab 6 single harness pack as my pockets were getting over full, Shades in hard case, Wallet, Camera in case, Eye drops, Multi Tool, flashlight, compass, spare batteries, Gloves, Kerchief, Pen, Notebook, so everything bar my flashlight and knife are now in this little pack. I'm tempted to also buy the Rush 12 pack to replace my Tactical messenger bag.

So impressed with the 5.11 Rush Moab 6 I have ordered the 5.11 Rush 12 daypack to use as my GHB.
Can anyone tell me what 5.11 stands for?

"The name “5.11” comes from the highest rock climbing difficulty level that was listed in the Yosemite Decimal System at Yosemite National Park"

Nice! I added a foward grip to my S&W recently. I really like how it looks but helps me keep it steady when I don't have a rest to lean on.

I have a few tins of Vienna sausages in my pantry. They were on sale once so I grabbed a few for general food storage. Anyways, I crave them about twice a year. Tonight I popped open one and made it through two of the nasty little buggars before I cured my cravings for another six months. At least the dog was really happy....

Got the new travel trailer home and setup. It was a long 12 hour drive. Had to use 4 wheel drive and cut some trees down to get it up the driveway. I had the axles flipped over before starting home to have enough ground clearance to keep from getting high-centered. I parked it where the house will be built next year and connected it to the septic. Took a few days off from the road repair to work on other projects. Will resume work on the next mile of driveway later in the week. Started work on the barn floor and have about half of the floor beams in place.
Tuesday I have a little procedure at the hospital, so I wont be doing any work for a couple days.

The lack of decent tinned meats is the reason I went to the trouble and expense of getting a pressure canner.
