Chit Chat in VOLTVILLE Thread #2 :)

[Renolizzie]

Good morning Voltians.

Well, I feel a lot better today and that is a good thing since I have two cleaning jobs

Hubby got the dishwasher running and it only cost $55 for the parts. I'm very happy.

We got the rest of the shade cover assembled and the rafters up. Next weekend...metal roofing and done.

I've decided I hate doing home improvement with Hubby. Not the first time I have decided that but we are stuck working together so I always try to be optimistic when we go into a project.

Glad your dishwasher is running again, Lizzy.

I did take the weed wacker for a long walk yesterday, first with the brush head, then with the string head, but it was really hot out there and the sun made it feel hotter still. After that I started cleaning out leaves from a "stand" of lilacs along the fence line near the garden. I'll finish that today and do some other "leaves stuck in bad spot" stuff and weeding as well. If there's time I want to get back to the topsoil production as well. It's warm out, mid 70's already, but cloudy and we may get so thunderstorms later in the afternoon.

Our rain is over, awsum, but we got a lot for our area. Several days last week it rained and rained. It was wonderfully rainy on Saturday but I didn't get to enjoy it much since I was sick.

I won't get much done in the yard today and tomorrow I need to go to Costco. Friday, I will have my helper in the afternoon so I am hoping to get the Northeast Watering Zone straightened out.

I need to clean out under the sink and get my stuff back under there now that the dishwasher is working. That will take care of one of the messes in my house.

We are going into the eighties this week. That is going to feel hot!

 

[Wuzznt Me]

We'll be in the upper 80s Lizzie. We consider that a cold front.

moanin', Voltatics.

The heat did me in yesterday. I was only out there for about an hour and a half and wilted, big time. No top soil got made, but at least the cleanup details have finally been completed. I've been busy this morning, second load in the washer, chicken cooked for Bo, stove cleaned. Now it's time for breakfast.

Be careful there awsum - that heat is something you have to definitely respect and watch out for - I have seen many a people pass out because they pushed themselves to far.

Nope, Hubby didn't buy from there but only because he found one for way less on ebay. Brand new in the box. Seems to be working.

Good morning, Voltpeeps.

I got my jobs done yesterday and actually didn't feel too bad. I'm kind of resting up today. I'm going to Carson City to get hay, drop off some dead batteries, do some banking and get groceries.

The sparrows are cheeping, the orioles are chattering and the hummers are buzzing All the windows and doors are wide open to cool off the house.

 

[awsum140]

I knew it was going to be a short day when I had to come back inside to get a "schmata" to wipe my face. I was wearing a sweatband and that didn't catch all the sweat!

I am careful and drink a lot of water and Gatorade if I'm out in the heat for a while. I used to work outside all day, every day, so I'm pretty good at making sure I'm safe.

Put in an eight-hour day yesterday stuffing animals. More to do today, but will run out of fiberfill soon. Took the evening off to read.

 

[Semiretired]

Life can keep us so busy sometimes I wonder when do we get to rest. Everyone always asks me - Aren't you retired? Nope - not as long as I am alive and married that is - the honey doooo list is more of a challenge than my job ever was...

Good golly, that's a lot of stuffing!!!! Pics????

That reminds me, I have a few pics I need to get into the computer from four wheeling.

That is one thing I have never gotten to try - besides my lawn mower and I do not think that it counts (LOL)... Done lots of motorcycle riding, and even have hit the desert on dirt bikes, but never a four wheeler.

Note to self - Gotta try that at least once...

Come on out and we will get you behind the wheel of an old school short bed Chevy.

I will, once I get the whole bunch of them together. Some time before the end of June, I will get some more stuffing to finish them up.

 

[JerryRM]

Good afternoon, Voltpeeps !!!!! It's been a while, I know.

 

[3mg Meniere]

I am embroidering mouths and noses!

Welcome back! Otherwise, I will put a virus in your computer so that ECF will be the only place you can go on the WWW!! Now, if only I knew how to write code-- maybe Trit?

 

[JerryRM]

Yikes !!!!! You wouldn't do that 0mg, or would you?

 

[Renolizzie]

She might, Jer

Hubby is going to send me to the twelve step program for gardeners.

I got a papyrus and some giant leaved floaty plants for the back pond and a monk flower for the front pond.

I also got some penstemmons, petunias, lobelias, guardias and calanchoes. I thought, "Hey, a new more shady patio needs a couple of giant pots of flowers to make it really look awesome."

I did okay at Costco but Hubby wanted spare ribs so I had to mortgage the house
