 Sunday School, Church, Lunch, and relaxed. Evening Church service followed by business meeting, which went smoothly and quickly with very few decisions that needed discussing by the congregation.

 We have 9 dozen fresh free range chicken eggs left in the Church refrigerator for anyone that needs them. The lady bringing the eggs brought lots because in addition to her chickens she is taking care of her neighbors chickens for a month while the neighbor is on vacation.

So far I got a bunch of mowing to the dirt done, I have about 1 1/2 acres left out of the 5 acres to have it all scalped.
 I need to refuel the lawn tractor when I get done with lunch and "get er done". The mowing is going fast because a lot of the weeds and dry and brittle. I still need to edge and weed whack where the lawn tractor can't get to but I am making great progress.

Got the shop whipped back into shape after 5 days of yard work and dragging out tools without putting them where they belong. I put together a toolbox for projects to be done away from the shop. Now I can just toss it in the gator and take it to where ever I am working away from the shop. Stop all that running back and forth for a tool. I have inherited enough tools to make up several tool kits.
There is a 3' chicken snake slithering around in my shop. He needs to go away, one way or the other.... his choice.

I had job interview and then took a nap. I was dreaming bbq sauce on my fingers.

Went hiking in an area we hadn't gone for a long time, had lunch at a new-to-us cafe, and picked up a few groceries on the way home.

Just as we left the supermarket my husband got phone notice that the methy looking recent arrival in our neighborhood had driven by yet again. We've been watching him because he's done several suspicious things. He appears to be freeloading off living with his girlfriend around the road intersection and less than half a mile from us. Does not look like he has a job and has driven slowly back and forth, taking 20 minutes to "sightsee" a one-mile stretch of road to the next intersection. I have photos from a gamecam documenting this. There are no other homes in that stretch and it is all fenced private land on both sides.

He also has stopped my husband, who was on a routine walk, offering to pay him $6 if he could use my husband's phone. Fortunately, my husband told him he wasn't carrying a phone. I suspect the guy wanted to use someone else's phone to make a drug deal. What do you guys think? (There is more about him that I won't detail here.)

We just finally were rid (temporarily?) of a convicted repeat drug felon who was squatting two miles away but was doing a lot of late-night and wee-hour drive-bys on the road where we live, almost always with at least one other vehicle passing by shortly before or after. He has not been seen here in months. Word must travel that the guy's turf is up for new business!

Open season is on the wrong animals.

Well they popped my neck but couldn't pop my back. Neck felt a little better but not like taking alieve does.😡 Suppose to go see him once a week for the next 3 months.

[Blowpipe Sam]

Went stir crazy in a tiny concrete box.

Better now.

 I got to ride the mini ex all day again, well I quit a couple hours earlier than normal as rain was a coming

Pat you two mix up your routine and stay unpredictable so he cant figure for certain when you're there and not. Could be trying to see when is a good time to steal from your property while you're gone to get drug money. Initiating contact pretending to need phone could really be sizing you and your husband up deciding if it's worth a try or if he needs to pass and find weak victims elsewhere. Stay unpredictable and vigilant.

I mowed all 5 acres down to the dirt and edged a lot with the weed whacker. I actually worked 10 hours counting all I did. My goal was to get the hard work done today so I have a few days to recover before we leave on our trip Thursday morning.

  Tomorrow I will have easier things to do including packing all that I can early for the trip.

  The house/pet sitter is ready and waiting and her car is running great.

Thank you. We usually do our local walks at different times, and separately also. Retirement allows following your own schedules much of the time, and we are around and outside at various hours more than most people are. Unfortunately, unemployed scumbags have even more time to watch other people's comings and goings.

I don't normally carry a phone when walking anymore. Might resume bringing it with me, not for someone else to use, but to report suspicious behavior immediately. The county LE has long been understaffed and the repeat offenders know it.

Quite unexpectedly I began making funeral arrangements for my brother.  He was a lifelong bachelor so it's not terribly complicated.  Just not what I thought I would be doing.

Condolences Cap.

Got an early start and finished pressure washing the back of the house. Then I did the 2 exposed sides of the red shed.... it's red again.   

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Condolences and Prayers for comfort for the whole family and friends Captain.

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

 I got all the weed whacking and yardwork that I am going to do done, the place looks real good for now.

[dk1677]

So sorry Capt. Prayers for you and your family

[Blowpipe Sam]

Thanks y’all.  He apparently had a heart attack and died in his sleep.  About the best you can hope for IMO.

Talked to my brother-in-law a bit then the next morning the home called and he had passed in his sleep.
