SWMBO and I sat in our new chairs and watched Avengers: Infinity War on the 65” with the sound bar blaring and it was pretty nice. Enjoyed the movie but hated the ending. Cause it didn’t end. So, two years or more until the NEXT non-end?

Not a whole heck of a lot going on around here. Been warm (warm!) this past week so the dog and I spent a lot of time outside walking our trails. Nice. Getting kind of boring but still nice. I do like our property. Just wish there was about 20+ more acres of it. That would be nice!

Garden is almost done. I checked and the beets aren’t actually growing beets; just lots of leaves. Really green leaves with red lines in them; but, no beets. Peas are all in and the dead vines pulled out. Mater’s are coming in great though. LOTS of cherry tomato’s. SWMBO needs to take some of these to work and give them away.

Decided to let SWMBO go visit her parents by herself and I’ve gotta cancel the trip to Texas for Thanksgiving. I was under a LOT of stress to get that new Cargo Trailer and get it set up for camping and get on the road by the beginning of November. Got to causing anxiety and I don’t want anxiety in my life. So we changed things around. Wish I could go with SWMBO but it just ain’t gonna work out this year.

Other than that: nada. I will be renting a lift or crane by mid-Sept to get my tower off the ground and up. Need to go to Harbor Freight and get a wench and a long rope. Why climb when I can winch myself up!

Just can’t put it off any more. My Second-Mom died 12 days after SWMBO and I drove down to see her for the first time in 37 years. She had a stroke and ramained unresponsive until they pulled life-support. My Sister, Mina, was with her. I had to go through that with my Mom and I know it ain’t easy.

So, I’ll be leaving here at zero-dark-thirty Thursday morning and drive back down for the funeral in Chico, Calif this Saturday. SWMBO isn’t going along for this one. Will rush (sort of) to get there but may take my time to get back. Not taking the Dog either. I may go on down to San Diego or over to Las Vegas and back. We’ll see.

Not a whole hell of a lot going on around here. Bored out of my skull. Hot out (90 degree’s or so) so me and the Dog have been taking off all our clothes and going for walks. Ttried making some new trails on the property next door without cutting anything. Need to spread out a bit.

Peas are coming in great. Green beans have started to get pickable. ONE cherry tomato has turned orange. Eggplant bushes are getting big but I don’t see any actual eggplant yet. Had to transplant the pepper so it’d get more sun, so it’s kinda droopy, but I expect itll catch up. Thinking next year I’ll try some corn next to that cement wall (where the tomato’s are) and see if it grows any better.

And that’s pretty much it.  The Emergency Net out of Gig Harbor and the Local NMARES Net both went well. I can communicate. SWMBO is home safely and off doing her thing.

I’m gonna go read a bit.
