Just a wee bit o squash to pick with only a handful looking to be ready today.

The cucumbers are still going off but the tomatoes are taking their sweet ass time.

Poor J was home sick with some stomach thing that had him hork 6 times in total. I'm hoping he is better this morning. After spending some time dinking with LLM stuff I was out on the farm and found a heap more spiders. They really are everywhere this year and we have had a minimal onslaught of mosquitoes. The barn spiders all make these nice "standard" web, the idealized version like kids draw.

And that's her fat ass hanging out under the eaves of the overhang.

A few feet away this beauty likes to hang out in the middle of its web. Their variety really is amazing between color, hairiness, size, shape.

I decided it is time to tear down the pole garden. I have gradually stopped putting up the wires and this makes 2 years without any put up so I yanked the poles out.

The garden has great soil but the weeds are awful anywhere not covered by plastic.

The fences all got dumped into the pen for the animals to strip the weeds. Which they did quite effectively.

Walked into the house and sat at my computer to find the news of Kirk's shooting and the video was all over instantly. It was obvious he was dead by the gush of blood from the neck. Amazing there is video of the shooter but no one followed... Fucking whacko world we are living in.

All the fence got removed, rolled, and put by the pile.

I still have the end posts to pry out but that is not pressing. This will end up most likely a mass of garlic this fall since I could get about 200 spots planted.

It took me a while to get to the truck but I finally got started ripping it back apart. Over an hour I got it back down to draining the coolant then pulling the water pump, oil cooler/filter, and coolant port before the timing cover comes off. All to likely replace the oil pump...

Spent time cleaning some more in the tool shed and now can mostly walk through it!!! That is a big step... The benches are littered with shit that needs sorting but I think the most important is to clear room to sharpen my chainsaw chains as I have 3 trees that need bucking.

I popped open the doppler to see the rain inbound from the southeast which meant I had to go cover the tools and parts of the truck. Glad I did as the deck is wet from the rain that did fall overnight.

Short soak before bed. Shitty as my arm was still trying to go numb as I was floating, the exact time it should relax and not try to nod out.

Today I will get the boys to school, I have PT mid day, will get the truck apart, will order the hay, clean in shed more, and keep working on cleaning around the farm.
