Suggestion...
Suggestion been took.
I used a PHD to dig the holes but you still have to use a breaker bar and a clam shell digger to get then to depth and clean them out. The night after I dug the holes we had a horrendous thunderstorm that washed half the dirt back into the hole. Had to dig it out again yesterday before I started setting the posts.
I piddled away today giving my back a days rest but we'll finish setting the posts tomorrow and then I have to go get the 1"x6'x16' boards. Still a few days work left and my wife has me signed up for a bunch of other ancillary stuff that is just going to delay it even longer.
First order of business tomorrow is to pick up the sprayer and go kill chiggers. Those little buggers ate me alive.
Sorry for the double post.
Leni, glad that you're OK.

You know what? I've never seen the move but I don't think so. As I recall when it flowered it had multiple blossoms and each had the face of one of the dead. That's not how bromeliads bloom. By the way, a pineapple is a bromeliad. It's an Anana. I specialize in tillandsias which are the true air plants. The only function that the roots have is to hold the plant in place. All food and water is absorbed thru the leaves.

Finished installing the electric wire around the fence of my garden and the bee's residence. This whole project took a whole lot longer than what I had expected. And it cost a whole lot more than anticipated too! Anyhow, while I was hooking up the wire for the electric fence I found myself needing to tighten up a lot of places in the 48" welded wire fence. I knew there must be a simple way, so I did a Google search. Here is what I found. (informative part of the video starts around the 1.5 minute mark...)
BTW, it works awesomely!

drove out to camp today. Spent the day setting up the campsite somewhat. Cut a small pile of firewood. Came back to town and loaded up the atvs to bring out tomorrow.
Sunday will be very busy. Our two oldest boys are having their first communion at church. I'm playing the music(guitar) to a song all the kids will be singing. We will also be accompanied by a grand piano. This will be my first time playing along with a piano and a choir in the background infront of about 250 people.
After the service, we'll head out for lunch then come home to get changed and make another trip to camp(which is an hour drive each way) to bring the atvs.

Took down two trees in the yard.
One was a redbud I loved but was in the way of the new BBQ/Smoker. The other was an old apple that was dying.
I love applewood smoked meat. So it works out.
Sunday, I take out the stumps,tamp in some gravel base and install patio bricks for the Smoker. Eye of round and a brisket are in the fridge.

Got my ass kicked yesterday cleaning up the 7 1/2 timbered piece I bought next to the ranch. 10 hours on a tractor is too much on my old fused back . I paid for it last night trying to sleep . Also mowed about 2 acres with the Brush Hog while watching the slash piles burn down . Mama thinks we should build a new house on the property as it has a incredible private meadow that has 180 degree views of the Gospel Hump Wilderness Area 
.
Today will be more of the same .

going out to work on a loader today wished my wife would feel up to a full time job I could use the extra income .
Nice pics Squerly. Some extreme houses for sure on that lake. Is that lake Norman. Sure looks nice there.
Here are a few boating pics from our outing this past weekend. Not the best but I figure better than nothing. After boating we went to a cookout so a couple pics are from that.

Got an appointment to see a vascular surgeon today. Will be interesting to see what he says now that my leg is not swollen and nasty looking. Then wait for his report and a call from my new PCP to explain it all. Will continue working on bee stuff and garden if it is not too muddy.

That is Lake Chatuge in Georgia. It's a nice (really big) lake. I'd like to find a reasonably priced piece of property on the lake with a little cabin and a boat dock. As long as I'm dreaming let's throw in a new 45' motor coach, free fuel for a lifetime and tickets to see the rolling stones...
I hear ya. With homes like you pictured on the lake front there ain't no such thing as 'cheap' property in that neck of the woods. But, if your gonna dream, might as well dream big. The free gas for life for the motor home might be the biggest windfall of all.That is Lake Chatuge in Georgia. It's a nice (really big) lake.

Spent a few hours working on the neighbor's old 60 John Deere. Then rode the rtv around looking for 3 wayward cows. The owner of the cows is on vacation and the Amish guy next door lets his dogs run loose and they chased them through the fence. Don't want to be around when that whole deal blows up next weekend.

People are people. They have their criminals and pedophiles and thieves same as anybody else. Some of the strictest sects seem to have the most problems.

Been at camp since saturday. Temps have been crazy hot this week hovering around the +30 celsius mark all week. Internet connection here sucks. So far this week, I managed to burry the polaris 700 atv in muskeg past the tires and had to walk 3+ miles back to camp covered in muskeg and getting eaten alive by mosquitos in the blazing afternoon sun. The next day, we went out for a boat ride with the campground owner. He forgot to check his gas tank before leaving so we ran out and had to use the small trolling motor to get back.
The following day, I was building a small metal storage shed when the ladder slipped out from under me. I found myself on my way to the hospital to get stitches. I managed to rip open my right arm about 3" long right beside the armpit. 8 stitches later I was back at camp. Yesterday, we went to check out an old ghost town a few miles down the road. The flies were bad and carried us out of there before we were able to see all the buildings. I plan on going back there this fall when the bugs aren't so bad.
Good news is the shed is almost finished now. The stitches in my arm don't hurt much. The sun is still shining.

Today is going to be a mixed day.
At the cigar lounge this morning. Meeting up with a friend of mine who is buying a rifle with his son. Then going home about lunchtime to do some painting of the garage. Should have some time to play in the swimming pool. Then, with any luck, going to see the Star Trek movie this evening.
