I love the hot weather for the plants.....Not so much when I am trying to sleep. Looking at my temps on the property, and outdoors it's 92, indoors 90! No bueno.

My bulldog hates this weather, pants all night long. I poor ice water on her every hour or so when it's hot like this, or let her wade in her doggy pool, aka, my daughters plastic pool.



Youre so right. It makes sleeping hell. Im about to get a kid pool for the dogs as well, thx for the reminder

Worked with an electrician that would do it about every 6 months. Personal truck was unleaded, work truck was diesel. Cost about 600$ each time. Had a mobile mechanic that would drive out and fix it on the spot.

If you need an extra hand on a project, I am in the area. Been super busy, but I can squeeze in some time if you need a hand.

Thank you for stopping in hillbilly. I try to do that similar type of balance minus the water bottles. Thank you sir for the tips and advice

Thank you for the offer FF, i really appreciate it very much. Delayed my day for about 4 hours but got her up and running real nice again. Siphoned out majority of tank. Added some ATF to fuel to increase lubricity. Pulled fuel filter and drained gas, filled with fresh diesel, engaged lift pump to get it cycling and after some cranking she fired right up like nothing happened. I drove the beast about 5 miles wondering why the hell my truck had no power and was running like a turd and about defecated myself when i realized i put gas into the damn thing. She is good now tho. We definitely need to link up regardless.

Plants look great.

I really like those 6x6 beds. Makes me wish I had done those, instead of 5' x 16' beds.

I don't know why I also have a mental block on those concrete re-mesh cages. I even have several hundred liner feet just sitting around from past construction projects. However, I continue to use just hortinova netting. Then swear up and down every time harvest comes.

I got after it right after I posted that, feeling much better having that chore knocked out before a stiff breeze wrecks shop.
