What did you accomplish today?

I have three fascia boards up. Now to finish screwing in the third one (stopped at placement screws). Only two left to do. I'm hoping to finish one more today and the last very ugly cut one tomorrow. LOL Best laid plans, I'll report back. Apparently the fact an old, settled house no longer has a 90 degree angle anywhere in it is a shock to some.

Really didn't help that my swamp coolers pump went intermittent. So it had to be changed and then I noticed that the float valve was no longer doing its' job like it should. I need to get one of those. Luckily the local hydro store has what I need cheaper than anywhere else LOL.
You're just as handy as a pocket on a shirt.

I was contemplating grocery shopping today, I think I'll put that off for when it cools into the 90's :shock: . Got the sprinkler set out under the peach tree, ground is just soaking it all up, peaches are about golfball sized. I have young zucchini on the older plants and plenty of green tomatoes, should be getting ripe soon with this heat.

I'm supposed to go tomorrow but I've already justified putting it off until Thursday.

Holy heat wave!

I had the furnace going this morning....but I see it's supposed to be back in the 90's here by Sunday. I'd better get my ass in gear and get this 2nd floor apartment finished before the heat returns. I washed the windows there today for the 1st time in 4 years and wow were they nasty....but all in all, it's not terrible.

The kid was a weirdo with tape...I told him, make sure you get all that tape residue off things before you leave. "oh yeah I have this special stuff that will take it right off". Yeah so do I, called elbow grease....and I had to use plenty! He had two AC units duct taped into the windows....for 4 years. I've seen worse.

He left me a 4 gallon backpack sprayer, and a small glass dab rig, lol...Oh and a mounted Sony TV, so it's not all bad.

Road trip to go pick up my meds AND they are closed the first Wed of the month for "training". I knew that, just didn't dawn on me what day it is. :shock:Grabbed some beer on the way home.
Put the last 2 milkweed plants I have into the ground and planted one of the two geraniums I started.
Throwing some frozen stuff in the oven for dinner. I have some stew meat marinating in the fridge, probably cook that this weekend. I was thinking kabobs with cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and assorted bell pepper chunks. Buds and suds time.

I was supposed to go today. I may go tomorrow. I have one fascia board left and it's the weirdly cut one I can't do because I'm not about to crawl on a motherfuckin' tile roof. So tomorrow could be an entire day at the circus. Either way the pharmacy and commissary await, sigh......
