Burned the trash.
Put dye in the stock tanks to knock down the aquatic weeds.
Fed the cattle. One of the calves didn't make it... I found what's left of him stretched out in the back pasture.
Started shredding the front pastures.

Cleaned/refilled the hummingbird feeders.
Continued shredding the front pastures. I was unable to finish due to the heat (only 94 degrees but with a heat index of 113 degrees). It was just too hot out there on the tractor...
I'm glad I don't have to cook tonight, we have enough to last another 4 or 5 days, LOL!!!

Received the canopy for the Gator late last night so I spent the day installing it. It was proufly made in the USA, but I highly doubt that the instructions were... they were terrible, really excruciatingly terrible.
It rained 0.64" in spite of the forecast saying 0% chance...

Modified our neighbors flagpole as I did ours. In the process, I added another 5' to it, installed new rope, flag clips & a Texas flag.
Fed the cattle, then put out the 2 molasses tubs & 4 mineral blocks for them. I finished just in time too, as it is now raining.

Damn ole son......One thing about a sharp knife. When you slip you are really cut.....
Did the weekly shopping. I had to go to 3 different stores to get what we needed... this is ridiculous. Since this stupidity seems to be getting worst, we're going to start stocking up again on everything. I bought 3 cases each of paper towels/toilet paper & 24 pounds of coffee.
Rained another 1.26" in the afternoon here.

Painted a picture frame & a basket a light gray that will be the base coat for Mrs. Ranch. These will than be sprayed with complimentary color for her new color scheme.
Applied 3 coats vegetable oil to the seed block forms that I made the other day. I hope this will act as a release agent.
Brought up & cleaned 6 more big potatoes that Mrs. Ranch will bake to go along with our supper. Also took about 20 lbs of the smaller ones down to our neighbors.
Made stuff jalapenos.

Sam, what was the name of the house siding wash you used last year?
It was called 30-Second Outdoor Cleaner. All it contains is common bleach (5%), but as you know, bleach was hard to come by due to the scamdemic. Plain old bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite), with a squirt of Dawn dish soap, is about half the price.
I did find gallons of 10% bleach at Walmart in the pool supply section last month for the same price as the 5% bleach. This is the more cost effective route to take if you can get it. Just mix it with a 1:4 ratio instead of 1:1 to achieve the same 2.5% solution.

Applied the gray stone finish to the waste paper basket & the candle holder base that I base coated yesterday. Then applied 3 coats of a clear matte sealer to the picture frame & the ceramic basket to finish those 2 items up.
Removed the seed block from the form & put it out. Mrs. Ranch will monitor the bird's taste test. I also refilled the feeders per request.
