that little trailer is cool.
i like how it folds up and gets out of the way.
threatened to rain all day but held off until i walked in the back door at about 4:30.
got a ton of stuff done today, but i guess you can't help it when some butthole dog decides to wake you up at 4:45 am just so she can look around the backyard to make sure the neighbors cat ain't out there.
little does she know the cat come over for a visit when she went back in the house while i was out in the lower garden cleaning out the strawberry bed.

Today we worked in the yard. Herself ran the weed whacked while I prepped the soil and planted three climbing roses, two red, one white. Then, I got to prep the nursery bed and plant a butt load of tree seedlings. 25 Tamarack, 15 Highbush blueberry, 5 pin cherry, 15 Highbush cranberry, 5 alders 5 paw paw, 5 Red Maple, 5 Chinquapin Oak, 5 Arrowroot, 5 Red Mullberry, 5 Elderberry, and 5 others I don’t recall.
Long time on my knees, Sambuca helps!

I had a trailer like that. Bought it new from HF about 25+ yrs ago. When I built it, I didn't trust the hinges, so I used 5/4" salvaged deck boards running the length for the bed, so it would no longer fold in half...but I felt it was stronger. I sold it to my buddy. There is a good chance I have the brackets with casters for it to stand up... in the garage attic most likely?

I was on a bit of a tare on trailers some twenty years back. I was heavily involved with Jeeps and trail riding camping and the like. I built a trailer to carry my jeep to far away events. This was actually a RE BUILD of a tired car trailer. But it worked great and was sold to another member of the club. When that jeep was sold for units I could drive on the street. So what I needed was a "jeep trailer". I targeted the military trailers but lighter duty so a smallJeep could pull. I started from scratch with a scribbled plan a pile of 2" sq thin wall stock and a 3500# axle. Mostly chosen because it had same 5x4.5" lug as my jeeps so tires and rims could de swapped. Its basically 4'x 7' running in 33x9.5 pizza cutters. Tongue is straight and flat to my hitch. This trailer is still in use today for trips to dump and hunting camp. It had a tail gate 2' tall sides and accepts a camper top from pickup.
But was a joy to make this from nothing and have it for all these years and thousands of miles. Its been to Ohio. Northern Maine and even once to Indiana. To upstate NY Vermont and New Hampshire as well.

I replaced the blower motor on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator today.
We have had this refrigerator since about 1985.
This is the first repair that I have had to make on it.
We use it as a second fridge for can and bottle drinks, mostly water and the freezer section as overflow for the refrigerator in the house.
It was pretty easy. Only problem is the motor cost $89 plus tax and shipping for a total of about $115.
A new similar unit, the same size, was going to cost $800 and up.

Love B&B pickles, with onions. Have a good recipe from a guy I used to work with. We don't grow cukes so quit making them. Easier just to buy from the local supermarket. Found an Amish Wedding brand from Williamsburg, Ohio that we prefer. They also have an old-fashioned salsa that we're partial too.........................so was Glaciers group, when they were here for the eclipse viewing. Also a green tomato relish.

I bedded the bottom metal in epoxy on the 8mm Stock this AM.
Just cleaned off epoxy overage before its rock hard.
Sure hope, that I haven't permanently attached my bottom metal.

We took a nice walk in a big city park this morning. As we came upon a game happening in a baseball field, things seemed off. Sure enough a game of cricket was under way. All of the players were young men with Indian subcontinent appearance. No English was being spoken. Pretty neat to watch. The bowlers have quite a long run in their delivery, very different than baseball. Our Labrador, miss Phoebe, is an English lab. However, she seemed as confused about what was going on as we were.

Well got my fast acting Insulin today. Doc upped the dose when I went to see him yesterday. On the Novalog. And a higher dose of Glimeperide.
It's replacing my Victosa.
Still the choice between $58 deductable for the two meds which I am already taking.
I may qualify for the Trump $35 on the insulin. But have to figure out what hoops to jump thru, that were added on to the bill later.
But 3 bucks more for two of my meds in higher dosage, sure beats no deductable and $700 for one.
So we are gradually transitioning.
So had to get some extra strips and some glucose tabs just in case.
Going to be a slow month or two long transference using what is left of my Victosa.

sixer.... woo-hoo.
they used to have a league that drastically made the game much more follow able and enjoyable since it had a pitch limit.
it was called the big bash league, but it was only in Australia.
dang cold again.
like 40ish and 85% humidity with a light north wind that sucked the heat right out of you [especially exposed skin] in about 5 minutes.
i got barely anything done outside.
supposed to be bout the same for the next week.
i think i'm about to start picking some of my Basil, it's getting stupid big now.

That sure looks the same as our madrone.
Bark, berries, leaves and all.
My neighbor took his 83 YO dad and 82 YO me spring chinook fishing yesterday.
The dad caught a 20# keeper and I got a 22 # keeper.
That was the hardest fighting salmon that I have ever hooked.
It took well over 200 feet of line before we could get off anchor.
It made several more long, unstoppable runs.
Very exciting. it wore this old man out.
I still had an adrenaline rush for hours.
