What do ya do when the weekend warriors leave?

What do you think of the tight fit in the ol' shop? Don't scratch the paint! Yeah right,

A month back seems like I was still unpackin the lawn mowers for spring maintenence.

What now?

Ever plant potatoes?

Here's a little tip for ya.

As you rake out bigger dirtclods and
sod balls, you can preplace dirt that you will need to later place around the base of the potato plant when it is about 8" tall.

I recomend using the surrounding dirt on my spuds till its cleanded out of the future path I will be using ot weed.

The red flags show my where to watch for the sprouts, and the best part is when the dirt is used up I  will have seasoned compost cooked up by then. You see up here in WI the compose dont get fed enough green matter like it does when ther lawn gets too long.

So I'm goin to feed the future yard birds and take some before pictures of another project I've got.











Looks like a pick axe did this, hmm..

Lost?

A woman in a hot-air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man


in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me,

can you help me? I

promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I

don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied,

"You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet

above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level.

You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees,49.09 minutes west longitude.

"She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I ' m still lost.Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You ' ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

Just Thinkin 'bout God's Graces

April showers bring May flowers, hmm... they also make the wet garden soil stick to the ol' roto-tiller.

Uh oh, somethin let lose in the geart box! That's what happens when ya add two extra set of tine for a 36 inch cut! Shame on me for pullin a "Tim the Tool - Man  Taylor" stunt! (It worked great for 3 years!)
OH OHH OHHH! ya know?  Its lookin like a rethink is in order heh? I'll have to find time for that project before fall clean up.

So many projects, too little time these days. I just finished the first planting in my vegitable garden and  stepped over to the white dwarf Lillack shrub and took my first big ol' wiff of it's blossoms. "Ahh..."

The weather I'm tryin to beat is coming out of the south/west & movin North this evening, whew!

Now its time to reflect, Thank the good Lord for his providence, for granting me the health to enjoy my work.
Speaking of work, I have a few projects waiting in the ol' welding shop. I'm thinkin I should document a little body work on a 1997 S-10 pick up box in that shed. Someone used a pick axe to make drain holes! Look for that story later this month, OK?

Oh yeah, I better start planning my float for next year's "Frozen Tundra Toilet Bowl Parade" Jan 1, 2011 - noon sharp.
I'm also converting two conversion van recliners into office chairs I am thinkin those will be done before June and hope to post some pictures w/ a story about how stable they turn out.

Thanks for stoppin by and checkin in on me, take care now here?
