Slow and beautiful day.. diane and I took a very fast walk up one side of Robins mountain.. until the bugs got so bad near the top that we decided to turn back.. spent the rest of the day working ’round the house. Like most vacations, I began by cleaning my shop.. nothing like getting ready to work..

 

ok.. so not spotless.. but much better.. found lots of unidentified pyrotechnics stuff while I was cleaning.. which I burned off tonight.. always a surprise what I’ll find when I clean..

 

worked on a couple of projects today.. We rebuilt Jackie’s light up hoola hoop for an upcoming festival.. and I started on a new one for here.. this one will be microcontroller controlled.. should be pretty cool.

while I worked, diane had the unfortunate task of having to pull up all of her impatiens. .. They had come from the nursury with a bad fungal infection that killed thme all off.. by color.. it was very strange.. unfortunetly, there’s no time to replant them for the season.. but the nursery has been very good about it, they’ve offered diane replacement plants of  a different variety.. I believe we can’t replant impatiens there for 3 years because of the infestations…   It’s too bad.. lots of work went into planting them.. then more work to pull them up. then even more work to plant whatever we replace them with..   looks pretty bare out there now..

it was a beautiful evening  out there..

ok.. time for bed.. more tomorrow..

 

nite all, nite sam
