Whatcha Up To???

Boned out 2 pork shoulders & got them in the curing brine for buckboard bacon.

Assist in vaccuum packing 10 chicken breasts.

Prepped & roasted the bucket of tomatoes from yesterday.

Watered the garden, asparagus, front trees, Crape Myrtles, & porch pots/hanging baskets.

R&R the filter for the ice maker.

Cut the grass, including along the roads & barn.

Fertilize & water the porch pots & hanging baskets.

Tomatoes are all getting there all at once. Squash, cream peas and cukes are tailing off. Okra is just getting started.

Yesterday was a busy day here. I made the pinto beans, smoked pork chops & worked on Mrs. Ranch's computer (it's still down), then harvested more tomatoes. It rained 0.44" around 2000 hrs with a lot of thunder & lightning...

Today I watered the porch pots & hanging baskets.

Roasted 2 pans of tomatoes.

Continued to work on Mrs. Ranch's computer. In the meantime I put her 'disk' in my computer & she visited someplace that infected her disk with malware (it hijacks her browser), so I had to deal with that...

Replaced about 80' of yard fence so the little dogs couldn't get out. Mowed the yard....that's about an every 4 day thing right now. Replaced the break pads on rear of truck....they were making noise. Will replace the front in a couple of days.........

Started raining here this morning (0.14" thus far).

Watered the porch pots & hanging baskets.

Continued working on Mrs. Ranch's computer... The replacement power supply is DOA, so I ordered another. Also got her disk issues square away so at least she can amuse herself using it in my computer while we await the delivery of the part.

Grandson whacked 3 more hogs last night!!! Kid's a killing machine!!!

Been up since 0200 hrs due to Dieter/weather... We've received 1.69" thus far, with lots of lightning/thunder.

Enlarged the opening on a new squirrel barrier for the redbird feeder. I'll paint it & install it when the rain stops.
