They just paved the street with chip seal. Now it looks like a tan gravel road. I guess that’s what I get for living out side of the city limits.

Cape/Chip seal followed with a slurry seal a week later. Now the street is as black as the ace of spades. When it gets hot we will have to do an egg fry test.

Lawn is going to need mowing and edging. Water restrictions coming this year could have a deleterious effect. Might bring back green lawn dye.

Mowing, edging, spot watering, spraying, weeding and trimming. Spring has done sprung.

Lawns in the western USA are a moral crime and should probably be a statutory crime as well. Y'all think your water doesn't come at the cost of other living things? Why would you waste it on something as vain and useless as a lawn?

Woke up with a subconjunctival hemorrhage in my right eye. Someone else noticed it, should clear up by itself in 10-14 days. :|

Last night at 9:30pm was 100 degrees F about the time of our AC going out like last year. Fans and swamp cooler for a while.

Brush fire a couple of miles to the east. Smoke visible from the bathroom window. AC went out again, no swamp cooler to bring in outside air.

Came home from work today to the “empty nest”. Daughter has moved to Plymouth UK day after the Queen’s funeral. This will take some getting used to. :wink:

Windy and dusty today coming from the east. Not as hot or gusty as the day the fire started but reminds me of that day.

Living in Kansas. Talked to my mom and also keep in touch with others in Washington. Fires on the west side this year. Usually in Eastern Washington. They need rain as bad as Kansas this year...

Love the big box.
My first full time “real job” at 36 and retired at 56, 16 years ago. Have all i need and find more time far more valuable than more money.

Went out to eat at a new (for us) Japanese restaurant. Food was great, and this animated octopus was to die for.
Anyone know how they did it?
