Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

[LAwaters]

Afternoon... So I've spent part of the day working my outside water tap. It leaks when it gets cold if I don't shut off the inside valve to it. Both valves are old so I'm replacing then. The inside valve ls hard to reach so I'm adding pipe to relocate it higher. Went to Lowes for parts. Yup I went to Lowes and get everything I needed. Nope.. The 24in copper pipe wasn't enough. Should have got the 36in one. Figures. So off to a different Lowes tomorrow for the pipe.. I have the inside valve on so I'm able to turn the water back on. I also plan getting new porch lights. Along with a new mailbox and house numbers. Nothing fancy.. More like $18 lights instead of $10 lights.

Lots of excellent fall projects. Nice to have the time and energy for such things. But it does look like you wore Scruffy out, so let’s try to be considerate of his sleep needs, eh?

Afternoon.. Well took a couple hours but the outside tap is replaced. And the inside tap has been moved so I can reach it better. Getting the dryer vent back on was the hardest part. I'm going to replace the vent hose when I move the dryer out for the new back door.

We lost Robin 6 years ago, today. Where has time gone?

RIP, Ms Robin.

Afternoon... Well with the rain and the cooler temps the grass is trying to grow again. Enough that I had to mow it today... Guess I shouldn't complain.

Beats the hell out of a hurricane.

Why not just leave them. Anybody asks, just tell them it's mulch.

Evening... Finished work at 4:45. It was long but no big deal... Fall has arrived. Mid 50s and should drop to mid 30s at night. For this week anyway. It's got the trees going into full color change.

I, for one, welcome the cooler temps with open arms. The hot crap gets old.

Good morning! Headed to neighbor to finish bucking and stacking that red oak that came down a year ago.

Hope you started your day with Ibuprofen. Your likely going to need it.. Just saying...

Yes, I thought about taking some ibu before I started but then forgot. And yes, I needed it. Can you say, “Wrecked”?

We have a persimmon tree and it’s harvest time. The squirrel has taken 30% of the yield already. Maybe more than one squirel, but we only see the same big guy here since spring. We hear a Great Horned Owl almost every night, but he has yet to rid us of this menace.

We left some persimmons on the ground for the little jerk. The nicest ripe ones were in trays near the house ready to distribute among friends who love them.

Yesterday I see the squirrel make a beeline for the trays of the best persimmons. Before I could stop him, he made off with a nice big one. I am not a fan!

A kitty or two might help alleviate the stealing issue

A good point and I do miss having my cats. But there’s a neighborhood cat who hangs out under the trees near where I snapped that pic. Kitty isn’t helping either!

Tree rats. They have a way of spoiling everything.

Say Lori @LAwaters, My 12 year old laptop is about kaput. I used it every day so I have no room to complain. I got another ASUS. Will be here Saturday. I'll need Excel, Word, and an email app. I see most (if not all) MS Office packages have Excel, Word, and Powerpoint but I see nothing for email. Educate me here. Where do I get email? Remember, It's been 12 years since I looked at any of this and I'm sure everything is changed. I'm still using that copy of Excel/Word/PP you gave me.
