The flag holder at the guest house pulled out during the storm last night. Drilled it to accommodate much larger (#14) screws & then reinstalled it. I highly doubt that it will come down again, LOL!!!
Burned more trash.
Made a blueberry cobbler for dessert.
Prepped another basket & applied 2 base coats of paint on it for Mrs. Ranch's ongoing redecoration project.

Puttered around the house yesterday since it rained (0.14").
Decided to modify the seed block forms I previously made to deepen them. The next seed blocks will be 2.25" thick so I will be adjusting the recipe accordingly. Then I made one to check it. I post the recipe in the DIY forum for anybody that's interested.
Seasoned up 4 big chicken breasts that I'll smoke for supper the next few days. Also made ranch rice as a side.
Made a marbled pound cake for dessert.

Did the weekly shopping. I continued stocking up on stuff. Mrs. Ranch said she is running out of places to put it all, so next time I'll buy storage tubs & she can stack them in the guest house.
Made another seed block. This one is for my lil' buddy down the road as he likes to watch wildlife. I ordered him a wire feeder to put it in yesterday.
Started spraying RM43 on the road & around the barn.

Cut the grass.
Broadcast 80 pounds of micro-nutrients & 40 pounds of Ironite under the canapes of the trees in the yard, then water it all in.
Also watered the porch pots, flowerbeds & asparagus bed.
Diced up 20 pounds of onions & vacuum packed them for freezing.
Seasoned up pork chops that I'll smoke for supper. I'll also throw on some potatoes to go with them.
Got a pot of pinto beans ready for tomorrow.

Well, this is all that's left of our 2 beautiful grapefruit trees that got killed by the freeze. One of them has some small re-growth coming on. The other is just plain dead, and I have a friend with an excavator coming out this week to remove it. I'm mighty pizzed off about this as they were some real specimens. I planted a new type of bamboo to fill in the void (nosey neighbor zone).
I lost my lime trees, bay leaf & 4 oaks in the yard. One of the crape myrtles is struggling.

You keep baking and cooking like that and I am going to look for a place close to you.......
LOL!!! I'd make your wife fat.
Our neighbor dropped off the target stand base that he made for me. I drilled a couple of holes to hold the 2X4 upright & then prepped it with OSPHO (phosphoric acid) for painting. When that dried, I sprayed 2 coats of primer on it.
