Good Morning!!!!!!

[mike89]

yes they are very good swimmers for sure!!! 

[Rebel SS]

I wish they'd all go over a waterfall.    They ate all the plants and flowers down to the dirt out of my Mom and Dad's planters at the cemetery. Think it's a friggin' salad bar for them. And I have a dozen sharp wooden shish-kabob skewers in every planter...how the h*** they manage to eat down past those tall sharp things is beyond me.

Morning boys.  68 here according to our thermo meter.  I think ours is lower that the real temp.  The wife said her car said about 4 degrees warmer than our house meter most of the time.  I am looking forward to some rain.  I have watered 12 of our spruce trees now.  I read that 90% of their root system is within 12" of the surface so this should help.  I am flushing our new well anyways so may as well use the 200 gallons or so instead of letting it run on the ground.  Our local store has ribeyes on sale for $13.88 lb so I am getting me a loin today.  I will cut it at home and vac seal them.  Should be great!  Well stay cool for one more day.

Morning fellers. Nice day at 61*, but 91% hume. Headed for 89*. I'm on the hunt today for Avacodo mayo at ALDI's, and pearl onions...so may be hitting a few stores. Got a few odd's and ends to grab to finish my Fall food pantry stocking. That's about it. Last of the bacon and some sunny-side up eggs and toast with clover honey sounds good for bfast. Enjoy the day all.

morning fellers.......i can see an end to one of my projects this morning. the young couple  that bought the house 2 houses down is getting rid of all the granite around there house to put in mulch. same stuff i got around my shed and trees so using it to "fill in". one more wheelbarrel full and i'm done. get that done before it cooks outside.

the cool temps and rain cant get here soon enough ..............

[Gunner55]

Mornin gents, we had 68 & a light breeze when I went out . They're sayin 91* will the high today. We didn't get back from Duluth 'til a little after 4 yday & we were all ready for HH by that time. Discovered that the changes they're doin to the "can of worms" section of SB I35 is a mofo to get around. The people we went to meet had even more problems with it than we did. Not certain what's on tap for today, guess I'll just wing it. Have a good 1!!

Reb,lol,anyone like you loose around cowchester? using "punji sticks" in the cemetary is classic.

[Rebel SS]

Darn tootin'. Next would be bouncing betsy's.... *BOOM*
Actually got the idea from the lady whose Dad's grave is next to my Dad's, she and others do it up there. Deer everywhere....in the city!!!! Groundskeeper buddy hates 'em, too. Eat all the planted flowers and shrubs. See my pics.
%$#@! things! Read up on it, and noticed they don't like marigolds and a couple other plants with a strong odor, so that's what's going in next year. Too much money put into these big planters and 3 trips every week across town to water....NOT for the deer salad bar!! 
I still wanna know how they get past my tall punji sticks!!!!!!
 Gonna be on the lookout for a deer with band-aids all over his nozzle....

[glenn57]

Awe ain't dey purty!!!

Reb they like hosta's, plant some of them for Bambi too!!

[snow1]

Reb,I had a in to thin our local deer herd off our local apple tree farm for a couple years,the folks/farmers had  alot of human friendly deer that browsed on apples,strawberries and they're blueberries they grew and sold(cash crop),took a toll every summer,for they're apple tree's they hung cheap bar soap around the tree trunks,morning dew would emit a odor from the soap the deer didn't like so they told me,none the less we harvested plenty of deer off that property over the years away from apple tree's.So maybe lay a bar of soap in your planter's see if it works unless you like to feed the deer.

O sure, now all I need are squeaky clean deer talking in an Irish accent..."but deer like it too!" NOT!

here Reb;

What is a good deer-resistant plant?
Image result for marigolds deer resistant plants
Daffodils, foxgloves, and poppies are common flowers with a toxicity that deer avoid. Deer also tend to turn their noses up at fragrant plants with strong scents. Herbs such as sages, ornamental salvias, and lavender, as well as flowers like peonies and bearded irises, are just “stinky” to deer.

Thanks guys. Decided on marigolds and few others next year, if I make it that long.

By the way.....went back to ALDI's. Couldn't find that mayo, none in with the other Mayo's. Asked them if they have/had it, ...."never heard of it". As Forrest said, "and that's all I've got to say about THAT!" 

[Gunner55]

  Don't believe I've ever seen it @ the GR 1 either.

sorry Reb, I'll let ya know if I find it again... 

[Gunner55]

I found a recipe online that I posted a link to a few days ago, it didn't sound like it would be very hard to make some yourself. A couple of the comments I read on it mentioned adding a couple other things to it https://www.food.com/recipe/avocado-mayonnaise-202316

[Rebel SS]

Thanks guys. No need to apologize Mike; not yer fault. I'm not really sure I'd like it Gunner, so that's why I didn't do the recipe, although it does look pretty easy-peasy. But I've got so many mustards, hot sauces, bbq sauces, korean and chinee sweet and sour and spicy sauces in the 'fridge, the entire door shelves are FULL all the way with 'em. Not like Glen's and his one big bottle of KATCHUP.

Menards sells a spray called Deer Stopper. Ready mixed in gallon jugs with a sprayer on it. It seems to really help with the hostas. The deer would mow them right down to the ground, but since I’ve been applying this stuff they seem to leave them alone. Kind of smells like an old outhouse when you put it on, but once it’s dry, I can’t smell it. Active ingredients Are some kind of egg product and a couple of oils, like mint oil. It seems to withstand the weather pretty well, too, although this summer there hasn’t been any to withstand, moisture wise. I’ve only used it twice this year, label says to apply every 30 days.

[Rebel SS]

I may try a wire screen over the pots next year...I dunno. Not putting a lot of effort in this. Been going up there for over 32 years now, maybe it's time to find something else. Starting to wear me out, I guess. Too many deaths and time up at the ceme the last two years for me.

right past Glenn's!!!!

Morning boys. 68 here and about the same forecast as Mikey. They are claiming rain, so we will see. Stop and picked up a deer rifle for the grandson. It will be for his birthday and xmas. Got him a 270 savage axis 2. Going to get a 243 for the granddaughter down the road. Well just another half day in the salt mines. Out of here at noon. Going to go to a town hall meeting this afternoon. Have a good Friday boys. Hoping it becomes a wet one!

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Glad we won't be in the 90's today.  80's is hot enough.  I see on the morning weather that todays rain may slide by us and head north.  It can change drastically and I hope we get a good soaking.  Think I will mow the lawn today.  Looking pretty shaggy.  The weeds are sticking up too.  I will start the frig in the camper for our weekend get away.  Looking forward to it.  Will watch the Twins tonight and Vikes tomorrow night.  May even get out fishing.  Well have a great day. 

[snow1]
