OSUT 259: The essentials of a happy 4th of July: red, white, blue, and barbecue

So may go with a real breakfast

I don't know if I'll grill out today or not. Susan had a rough night. Woke me up about 9:30 because her legs gave out on her in the kitchen. Even with the gait belt I couldn't get her to her feet, so I had to drag her into the living room and got her a foam pad, blanket and pillow. She got up and went to bed around 3.

I wouldn't let it stop you.

It really won't.
Just don a hat and life moves right along.

So may go with a real breakfast

I cooked up some granola.
Daughter bought this big bag to make her trail mix snacks.
I snagged the last of it and cooked it up with some butter and milk, with toast.

Sort of saving myself for this beautiful ham and potato meal, early afternoon.

Guess I'll get the passenger side mirror put on Susan's van after breakfast. I don't have to take my car out of the garage to replace the driver side turn signal. That'll probably be more involved than her mirror if youtube is to be believed. Neither are very complicated though.

Looks like today is going to be a long day at work.

Larger units and in a basement.

Good morning INGO, hope you get to enjoy today with cookouts and family or however you want!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Good morning Brandon! I guess a basement is better than an attic.

Hey Brandon!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

About breakfast fixin' time. Got a little bit of sausage to use up, and one maple French toast bagel to use. Going with a sausage, egg and cheese bagel concoction.

Good morning Brandon! I guess a basement is better than an attic.

Usually they send a 3rd which means I don't have to go up and down the stairs 100 times. Just have to deal with the heat.

About time for me to start my day

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Mornin' greg!

I decided not to grind out the stump where the ash tree was.
The tree guy cut it down to about six inches high by about three feet wide.
Remaining is about a foot tall by 8ft wide hump of roots to rot.

My plan is to drill a few holes in the stump and add potassium nitrate and water it in well for about a month.
That gives me a month to remove and kill the surrounding turf.

Then in August, have a truck drop a big pile of compost on top of it, making a slight raised bed to plant in.
A ring of hostas and spring bulbs, still deciding on what goes inside the ring, but it will include some Russian sage and maybe a mugo pine.
