Random Facts About You ....number 59

Had to close the doors before it got too warm in the house... That's usually a July/August thing. Forecast says 80's for the next 10 days.



Back to mowing in a bit...

 

we were supposed to get thunderstorms but it looks just fine out


if i lived in a secluded place id probably be puttering around the yard glenglen style

blackflies have died down ..maybe because theres a nice breeze

 

Got my bicycle out today and rode for about an hour, my backside is a little sore...

 

first bicycle ride of the season is always a special kind of butthurt

 

Garden #1 is officially done! I got the edging done and I hate it. I used that (very heavy) black plastic edging and I really don't care for that stuff. I've used it before and it's always tough to get it how I want it. But this isn't really permanent. It's more just to keep those damn chickens from kicking wood chips out for right now until my larger landscaping work.....by which time, hopefully a fox or wolf or mountain lion will move to the neighborhood and fix this chicken infestation in my yard.

But seriously...the edging is alright. I know I'm a perfectionist and it kind of pisses me off when things don't turn out exactly how I see them in my head. But it's temporary. I'll be using other things later that will look incredible. It will be ok later.

 

noticed something today while driving. Buddy (me doggy) was in the back seat and whenever I talked to him, he didn't look at me, he would look in the mirror and make eye contact with me.
Is that normal or is my dog just that damn smart?

 

Could be a little of both. I'm pretty sure dogs like to make eye contact and he may just be smart enough to notice the mirror got the job done.

 

it isn't every ones cup of tea...i'm not partial to it either

 

Warm and overcast today... I've a feeling the term "muggy" might come into play.



It must be August, right?



wtf?

 

What? In may? Is it every year like that over there?

 

winter was late to come this year and late to leave

 

bbad lives a bit north of me....like 8 hour drive .....I have already cut my grass 3 times and it is starting to run wild again in the back.....bbad lives closer to the arctic than i

 

yeah but there are parts of northern states that are further north than me...

im more western than north of you


the weather sure is weird though.. 30c and forest fires last week in areas that are further north than calgarys snowstorm...

 

broinlaws best friend killed overnight in home invasion.. I know him fairly well, since I see him all the time there..

http://www.wpxi.com/news/man-killed-in-his-home-overnight_20160525162323/302561712

 

most home invasions here are young punks trying to score oxy from old people

 

That sounds like a revenge killing.

 

I just called for prices on garden mix soil and pea stone....42 and 56 a cubic yard respectively ......

a yard of pea stone weighs 2500 pounds

 

lots of gravel pits around here ..you can always tell the guy who doesnt understand the weight of that stuff ...i see so many half ton trucks trying to make it home with back bumpers almost dragging on the ground and leaf springs bent the wrong way

 

broinlaw is in shock. dont think hes ever lost anyone this close to him before in violence .. not a weekend goes by they are not together watching some game over each others houses. my gf and I have been over the victims house a couple times.

 

I feel really sorry for his family and friends.
