What did you do today?

First shift at community kitchen. Working food bank Friday.
In a voluntary capacity obviously!

 

Watered the back patio garden and the meditation garden...

Gave the baby bandits some catfood...

EDIT: "bandits" are raccoons for those that don't know.

 

Just saw a YouTube post on how to remove oxidation from headlights. Toothpaste was recommended. Tried it- it didn’t work that good. Will try Off bug spray, next. Ultimately, I’ll have to just replace them, because they’re super old.

 

Mine are all fogged, but I never drive at night, so I don't care.

 

Yeah, unfortunately,I’m night shift. But those damn things are 20 years old.

 

I set up the new starlink internet connection. Quite pleased

 

Found the remains of my green beans, studied the deer tracks and built a gate for the garden.

 

I feel your pain. Our property is a salad bar also!

 

Ours too with wood pigeons eating young plants. Thankfully this year with a variety of measures, one being a new cat in the area, our veggies are mostly past the danger stage and time.

 

It worked…the Deepwoods Off worked on the headlights! Tried it when I got home from work this morning, and now I’m taking my tired ass to sleep!!

 

I need to use that stuff to keep the chiggers off my legs when I'm out in the yard....

If you've never dealt with chiggers, you have no idea what itching is all about.

 

Okay, what's a chigger?

 

"The best known species of chigger in North America is the hard-biting Trombicula alfreddugesi of the Southeastern United States, humid Midwest and Mexico; in the UK, the most prevalent chigger, called the "harvest mite", is Trombicula autumnalis, with distribution through Western Europe to Eastern Asia."

 

Fucking harvest mites! Yeah, fucking ankle biters. Which by the way, is what we call small children as well.
Were you making the point that I could have looked it up? I normally do my own research but rather busy in the kitchen right now

 

No... I just figured that would be the easiest way to explain what they are.

I could have said they are Satan's pet bugs, but you still wouldn't know what I was talking about.

 

Started mulching the garden yesterday with shredded leaves, hope to finish today once the much need 1/4 shower we hd overnight dries off.
Taters are growing nicely.

 

Hate ‘em!! Used to get bites all the time while out in the woods, training.

 

So far, I got some fire ants stoned.

Scraped a bit of shatter up on the tip of a skewer, went from 3 ants to dozens in just a few minutes, the ones eating the shatter have given up on returning to the nest and are just hanging out on the stick.
