WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Chris]

Might want to add a touch more water, no?

Crazy man. The one time I log in to look into some product pics and I see a spot where I used to play pick up ball and one of the old neighborhoods I used to live in. South STL!

@Anesthetist:

Last night the missus and I had a charity auction themed “Mad for Plaid”. Compared to past years, this outfit was a natural.

Today we took Mia out for a bike ride and some kite flying

Lots of rain the past days, good for the vegetation everything‘s green now in the backyard and the rhododendrons started to blossom

That's my kind of raised bed….

So Julie decided that our yard needs improvement.  Last year she got on board with the idea of native, low maintenance, minimal watering needed landscaping, rather than the American standard "let's cover everything in sod and water it four days a week!" approach.  So for water retention, we have mulch. A lot of mulch.  And who gets the job of spreading it?  That's right, this guy.

This is yesterday, when I was roughly 1/3 of the job done. The rest goes in the back yard next weekend, where I'll be planting some fruit trees and doing whatever additional diabolical manual labor she's dreamed up for me.  Luckily, temperatures are only in the mid 90s F, (low 30s C) so at least it's not ungodly hot.

Today is more pleasant

I beg to differ. The mid-90s is ungodly hot. I mean, you’ve been in TX too long, man! Good work on installing a more manageable landscape, though!

Remember, that is @Chris talking there. I get the sense his tongue was firmly planted in his cheek as he typed.

[neph93]

Over or under 30C, TX is ungodly, regardless.

Nice job @Chris.

This is correct.

@Brock There is still more ore here if you know what to look for. Two piles next to the old RR. bed down hill from the mine

That’s cool! But I’m talking about that Morel Mushroom… those things are highly sought after and go for upwards of $20/pound.

@Brock  We found it when walking through the woods. Years ago my twin sold a lot of morels  mushrooms to Cap fries tavern. Got a good price for them.
