Whatcha Up To???

[w_r_ranch]

The monitor on my computer crapped out this morning. I replaced it with an old one that I hadn't disposed of yet & ordered a replacement.

Watered the garden & asparagus again, as well as the stuff in the greenhouse.

Of couse it started a drizzling rain here about 0930 hrs., just enough to delay my buning out the flowerbeds & continuing with the garden.

Seasoned up a sirloin pot roast for supper tonight. I'll add the potatoes, carrots, onions & celery about an hour.

It's 56 degrees here this morning after the thunderstorm last night (0.58"). Dieter & Mrs Ranch didn't get much sleep... I slept right thru it.

Started 2 loaves of sourdough bread for tomorrow.

Dwayne from Westrn Auto came to picked up the Husky this morning. He thinks it's the starter & said he'd bring it back in a couple of days.

Water the porch pots & stuff in the greenhouse.

Dwayne is a great guy. He has done a lot of work on my Husky’s over the years. Thunderstorm dropped .8 plus high winds and some hail. No damage on tomatoes.
