    Good morning mixers. Today I do the lawn. Once it’s light out enough then I’ll go out and put flags on my sprinkler heads so I don’t hit them with the verticutter. I should probably wait until around 9 to go get the machine so some of the dew will dry. It’s been much cooler in the morning lately.
    Much cooler this morning thankfully. Good luck with your job.

    good morning folks,
    was at the chiropractor, part of the afternoon will be spent getting the right amount of cotton in my Skyline, bought it in April and it's time for it to be tried.

    Me and Fran are equally fast.

    Yeah, I’m guilty of being rather slow. Still haven’t tried my Caliburn.

    Still with this never ending organizing and labeling if the different. It’s a lot of work and I’m constantly getting up and down with is making my flares even worse. I can hardly stand up and move today.

    Today’s agenda,,,,,,,
    I have bought 2 bedrollers to keep the atty boxes in, one for svoemesto since I had a lot of them, well, 15 can't be said to be many here though, and one to store the other expensive atty boxes in.
    Each of them in numbered bags.

    Raaco rack to store drip tips and afc insert in, numbered there too. Raaco ain’t cheap though, but superb since we can build up the system with different size boxes inside the rack.

    If fast tech had still sold the atty stand I started with, everything would have been finished in a system, but then I'll probably have to make it myself.
    They still sell atty storage boxes, which you might be interested in, otherwise rose plastic has a manufacturing plant in California.

    There are many things we can buy that make organization easier for us, many small storage systems that are used for nails, jewels, etc.

    There was quite a bit of fog this morning. I’m going to go out now and mark the sprinklers. I’ll have to see how wet the grass is to see if I should wait a bit longer to go get the machine.
    Hope the neighbors are working.

    I didn’t order from BCF. Came close but not close enough. I have too many flavors now. I have 10-12 bottles that I have to find room for. My dividers are all full. I may have room for the small bottles in my under bed case but no room in the 30ml case.

    Morning, mixers.

    I suspect we'll have new weather guessers soon, since they've been right 3 days in a row!

    A comfy 44 overnight, first time significantly below 50, so maybe we're past the worst of it. Still no rain.

    Still on watering detail ;) although it's down to every third day, not every other. Did finish the siding maintenance yesterday, good to have that done :)

    I saw my next door neighbor on one side leave while I was mowing the grass a little shorter. He waved and left. He doesn’t really do much lawn care stuff but keeps his place clean. My other neighbor usually leaves around 5:30. The reason I know this is because he bought a motorcycle and I hear him start it in the morning. No sign of movement so far across the street so I think I may be safe from interference. I should be able to just rent it for two hours and be done.

    This is my blackcurrant meringue recipe.

    Not ready for @Zazie yet. Still working on it. I'm mainly hoping someone familiar with these flavors will have some suggestions.

    I put in the vanilla deluxe, sweet cream, and marshmallow to sweeten it. I don't like the taste of actual sweetener.

    I like it but it feels like it could be better. Particularly the blackcurrant doesn't come through as much as I would like. I'm planning to pick up some different blackcurrant and meringue flavorings.

    FA Blackcurrant 4%
    TFA Meringue 3%
    FE Lemon 1%
    TFA Sweet Cream 2%
    TFA Vanilla Deluxe 2%
    TFA Marshmallow 1%

    My plan today is to start on the last part of rehabbing my yard. Over the last couple of months I've gone through most of it chopping weed trees and applying root killer. Then removing all the weeds and vines. I got lazy for a few years.

    The last part is an area 30' by 60' where I used to put the swimming pool, easy to ignore because it was surrounded by a privacy fence. Right now it's a mess of weed trees and vines twice my height. It's also infested with poison ivy and some of the vines have thorns. Messy and painful work coming up. It's going to take a few weeks but I want to get it done this year so I can put up the pool again next year. I pulled up part of the old tarp the pool sat on and the ground is full of mole runs so I have to launch an attack on the moles.

    Good morning peepers!

    question for ya all- I just recently updated my iPad and between those changes and the new format here I’m lost.

    How do I take the splight screen and the keyboard back where they’re “supposed” to be (according to me and my years of using Windows

    This gets worse by the hour. Even some Instructions for Dumbbuttz would help

    thanks oh btw I’m running latest iOS for iPad. Ok someone fix it it please

    I am by no means an expert, but it seems to me that all that meringue, cream, vanilla, and marshmallow would drown the black currant.

    I would try ssa black currant and cut back on the meringue and sweet cream. I’m not sure on the vanilla. I never use that.

    I am finally finished with the lawn and will definitely feel it. I mowed, went and got the verticutter, ran it over the lawn in both directions, took it back, then came home and mowed again to pick up thatch and spread seed and fertilizer. I had to hurry to get the rental returned within the two hour minimum or it would have cost me another 25. I’m glad it’s done and refuse to do any more work the rest of the day.

    Definitely a time for rest.

    I found a voicemail on my phone from UPS saying they were trying to deliver a package but the street number is wrong. I wasn’t expecting anything new for review so have no idea what it is and don’t have a tracking number so can’t even check on it.
