COLD DARK ROOM

[Ben02]

To be fair, sounds like it used to have a view. Now, just a place to sit and look at one’s phone.

Ahhh I see, if the hedge was not their it would have a view of the sea.

The lime stone in my area is about 250 ft down. After that you get the artisan water. That is about 3000 dollars. I asked about going that deep but they said they usually do those wells for irrigation. Is the well at your place that we are talking about for irrigation or house or both?

It's the water for everyday use, and the water table is at about 200', or it was at the time the well was dug.

My son works at Vendo in DFW, Texas and someone brings do-nuts on Fridays. Take a look at today's assortment. I've never seen such an assortment. Wow! What a variety. Would be hard to choose:

I've never seen the likes of such an assortment. Our doughnut shops have glazed, cake, old fashioned, maple bars, chocolate and sprinkles. That's about it.

Ok that's why you have a tank and limit switch. If it was just irrigation you wouldn't need those. I can't remember is there a air valve on the tank like a air valve on a car tire?

Fine, it's yours. Frankly, the one that really appeals to me is the glazed.

Yes.

I'm having a hard time getting going today. Food's all ready to distribute to the tortoises, but here I sit.

Yesterday I started walking again. I started right back up with my 10 laps (which equal almost a mile).* Today will be pretty pleasant weather for the first day of summer. Hopefully I can stay with the program and walk every evening right after Jeopardy!. Well, every evening except for Tuesday. When I walk I don't get back in the house until after 8p, and NCIS starts at 8.

*I saw a little blurb on TV the other night showing a 100 year old woman competing in and winning a ribbon, some sort of race or marathon. Can you imagine? She's 103 now and still racing. I hope that's me in 20 more years.

Not sure the neighbor's would appreciate that. . They showed up today and we have water again. I was surprised figured water fri.
They told the county that the resident at the house had special needs. So they gave them the ok without the permit. The permit was going to take another day.

Nice!

I saw that too. She's another hero for me.

Since I moved the baby leopards out of the leopard shed to be outside I haven't been back in the shed for about a week. So today when I got my broom and bucket to go in there and clean up, I saw a wasp nest up in the corner of the doorway. It was about three inches across with quite a few wasps on it. I had the broom in my hand, so I just took the broom and knocked the nest out of the doorway. Then I ran for my life. Trouble is, one of them was pretty savvy about who the nest destroyer was and he chased me. He got me twice in the ear area. I think one is on the very edge of my ear, but the other is actually behind my ear where the lobe connects to the neck. Usually wasp stings burn like fire, but I went about my morning chores with hardly any pain, just an annoying little burning sensation. But now, sitting here indoors, my ear is burning on the edge and itching like crazy behind the ear. I'm going to ask my friend Google how to relieve the sensations. But it's probably too late. Been over an hour.

Ouch! Wasp stings are never fun!

Summer Solstice - a nice sunny windy day with no humidity! We’ve been “out back” in our woods with the shredder still cleaning up the mess from our trees. Getting the main trunks cut up was relatively easy, but the mess from the gnarly ends full of pine cones and knots is a pain. Tedious, slow. But we made progress.

Tomorrow, more FIFA womens soccer...

I've been trying real hard to remember to not scratch my itchy ear and just realized it's not my ear that's itchy but my neck below my ear. So I reached up and felt it and there are four little itchy bumps on my neck. I guess he deposited so much venom in my ear that the four stings on my neck only got enough to cause itching.

What kind of shredder? When I get my settlement from the road widening I'm going to be in the market for one. But it either has to be electric or electric start. I don't have the strength to pull a rope starter.

Vinegar was what my gran treated wasp stings with

An antihistamine like Piriton will provide relief as will ice

If I have to I use a little baking soda poultice on bee stings. I've only been stung by a wasp once and don't want another one. Sorry you are going through that.
