Which is as it should be. Didn’t get to spend all day outside; but quite a bit of it. I do have things to do inside. Which I did. Early. Even made a run to the Post Office.

But, damn, what a lazy day! I did all my usual chores, but, not very damn much else. Moved about 500 lbs of rocks that I’d raked up. Watered the garden (I Got Peas!). Took the Dog for a walk around the back 40. A couple of times.

Otherwise, just laid out in the sun.

Oh, yesterday I ordered Warehouse 13 The Complete Series on Blu-ray. And 25 ft of coax, two pl259 connectors, and a NMO mount for my truck. Delivery for everything spreads from this Friday to Mid-August. I just don’t understand why it takes so long to deliver small packages. Especially since the Post Office, UPS, and (that other one) are always telling us how good they are.

Will probably make a run into Bremerton, to the Vape Shop, tomorrow cause I need a couple (battery packs?) for my tank. The two I have aren’t holding a charge very long. Of course, I’ve had them only a year or so, so it is time to replace them. @ $40 a pop (last time I bought two) though …

Need to drop some donations off at the thrigt store and mail a package to my inlaws too. Hopefully I won’t get those confused.

Anywho, that’s about it. I lead a pretty boring life.

That I’ve stayed kinda busy outside until late and just didn’t feel like posting. My Goodness, It’s been great outside! Hot. Sunny. (Naked.) And I have a butt-ton of things to do out there what with gardening, mowing, walking, or just enjoying the weather. I Love Summer! I Love Summer way more than I Hate Winter. I think it got up to 95 here yesterday. Cool! (102 on my thermometer.)

I do miss going to “The Beach” though. (Black’s Beach in La Jolla.) Not that I could make it back up those cliffs now. Well, I probably could; but it would take a couple of hours cause I got so damned Old and out of shape. (Rounds a shape!) Plus, I haven’t been there since we moved up here in ‘93. Ah, well. Old Guy Dreams.

Not a whole lot going on around here. Went to the NMARES monthly meeting last night. Made a couple of runs to ACE the past couple of days. Worked on our closet putting a new wall in to support the new linen closet I inset into the wall. The usual chores. Picking blackberries.

Took the Dog for a walk around the back 40. Wish he was big enough to clear the spider webs from the path before I walk through them! Ugh! He’s starting to slow down on our walks, and being a bit more clumsey in the house, but I figure a 11-12 year old Dog is allowed to do these things. For not really being an animal person, I’m sure gonna miss him when he moves on.

Stopped at Taco Bell last night on the way to the NMARES meeting and had a taco salad (without rice!). Since I get to pick SWMBO up at the QFC @ 1915 tonight (it’s Friday), I just may stop by Taco Bell again. Taco salad still sounds good, but maybe taco’s sound better. We’ll see.

Just not a whole hell of a lot going on around here today. Kind of a lazy day. Been for 3 walks around the property already and may do a couple more before time to leave. But, right now, a tall, cold, glass of iced tea sounds good. (It’s the Southern in me.)

And it hasn’t rained in a few days so it’s time to water the front-upper yard. Neighbors get kind of upset when I do it sans pants, so guess I’ll put my shorts on. It’s the only yard we water during the summer; and then only because of the fruit trees and blue berry bushes.

And that’s it. My Lovely-Young-Bride of almost 30 years is home safe and sound and getting settled for the evening. I’m gonna go read a bit.

But it really didn’t start to get “warm” until after 1300 when the clouds finally cleared out. Still nice out there for all of the afternoon though.

So I made a trip to ACE for some pea seeds. Also got some green onion seeds. And Carrots for SWMBO; but she doesn’t know so don’t tell her. They’ll be a surprise. (Especially if they even grow!)

Bought a little wader pool for $10. It;s just big enough to soak in during the hotest part of the day. Should be fun.

Not much of a 10-meter Net tonight. Just three of us checked in. Oh, there he is! Only 10 minutes late. Everyone else had already turned their radio’s off though. Ah well.

Anywho, SWMBO is home and eating dinner. I’m hearing heavy machinery so I better go check that out.

So, after getting my morning chores done and mail checked, I went to Peninsula Soil and bought a yard of their mushroom garden mix. First time I bottomed my truck out! Front end of my truck felt awful light driving home! Hell, it was only a ton. What’s up with that?

Got home and me and the Dog took off all our clothes and went for a walk. Then I got to shoveling all that dirt into the planters. A couple of hours later I have 3 and about a half planters filled and ready to plant. (Think I lost about 8 lbs sweating out there.) Phew. I’m getting too old for this shit.

Once I was finished shoveling I went ahead and washed the truck. Seemed like the thing to do. Then I came inside and started that steak to cooking (boiling? You know: Onion Soup, Steak, Taters, all in a crock pot and cooked on high for several hours. That).

Took the drone out and flew around a bit. Got some great footage of the roof! Didn’t run into anything. Avoided all the antenna wires. Cool!

Dinner turned out okay; I think we got gyped on that cut of meat. All of it was tough no matter how one cooked it. But the Taters and Veggies were good!

And that’s really about it. Checked into a couple of 2-meter Nets. SWMBO got home safe and is eating the remainder of the meal I made. I really need to shower before laying in our bed tonight!
