Dug the grass out of a block shaped section in the yard to try to grow corn so it doesn't take up so much raised bed space.
Met a guy from cl to get the three left side pedals shown (other 3 are new from bezos), he said at a coffee shop and I immediately have this image in my mind of what the person would be like. Completely wrong, he just wanted to meet in the parking lot haha. Brought me back to the old days of meeting up for a bag in random places... anyway super nice guy, hippy type but super articulate and well spoken to the point of really impressing me.
Now I'm beat, want to go for a bike ride but I've already got a few hours of direct sun today.. might be a bad idea to get anymore., plus I'm tired. Not a fan of sunscreen. Which is dumb of me, I know. At my last checkup the doctor said I should probably go to a dermatologist and have a head to toe. Didn't say anything specific, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's some stuff that's needs removal (c word).
Anyways hope everyone's having a good day! I enjoy dropping in here to read people's stories.

I can relate. The fool and his money parted award goes to ......
Current board
I have a bunch of guitars, but I still can't find this one.
My morning starts early filling up the bird feeders, then walking the perimeter of the pond tossing a large coffee cans worth of
floating fish food for the hybrid bluegills in our pond. After spending 10 to 15 minutes slowly walking the pond perimeter tossing
out fish food, I'll sit down on the large rock in front of the pond and spend 15 minutes to a half hour counting the number of
rises of fish that come to the surface to feed on the floating pellets. For the last week that number has been around 700 rises.
Today in 20 minutes of watching and counting, I got to 1000. Cool beans.
Because I've seen a bunch of perch coming to the surface this last week to feed on the floating pellets, which is something they
don't normally do, I made the decision to go the the hatchery 3 days ago and buy 2 gallons of fathead minnows for the perch to
feed on. Late fall I'll add another 2 gallons of them to get the perch through the winter. The price went up quite a bit. Last year
they were $50.00 per gallon. This year, $72.00.
Came in and smoked a doob of some Godfather OG that is just now finishing curing. I like it. Will grow again.
Just started some beans a few days ago. Some reg Freakshow which is the strangest looking weed plant I've ever seen. Leaves look like a fern plant.
Some Pure Michigan, and some fem Cap Junkies.
Every other day I water my garden starter plants growing in flats in one of
my grow tents that will soon be put in the garden. Every other day for the veggies in flats. Almost 9 flats with 48 per flat.
Mowing our yard takes almost 3 hours on the riding mower, and I did that for the second time this year yesterday. I spent about
an hour with the skimming net in our pond today skimming out dead debris and branches from some high winds
yesterday as well as some algae.
Played guitar for a little over an hour recording some tracks for a new song. Gave our neighbor the money for another 1/4 of beef we buy from
him. It will last us not quite a year and then we'll buy another. The butcher shop in town packages it up for us for a very reasonable price.
Later tonight my better half and I will be cleaning out our 23 cubic foot deep freeze to make room for the 1/4 of beef we will have in a day or two.
Yesterday I fished our pond for the third time since the ice went out. I used a white Lil Nipper jig 1/32 of an oz. Barb has been flattened out for easy
release. No bait, just the jig. I could slay them one after another with bait, but like using just the jig. I caught a few perch and hybrid bluegills.
Largest perch caught and released this last week was one around 13 inches. Largest hybrid bluegill was around 11 inches. There are bigger ones in our
pond, but I'm not using bait.
Rolled some doobs to get me to the weekend.
