Nap time.
Sweet I have 2 or 3 running around my aloes. One is black and grey, one is red with black that I can tell, the last is bluish from what I can tell. The black and grey one is rather social to me when I am in the garden.

Well second round of the war is still going.

Finally got my trailblazer rolling got some fresh gas in it, took it for a spin. Runs ok, just need to figure out the miss now. Guess sitting up has taken a toll on her. Next put my scanner on it and squeeze some 134a in it for the a/c. Almost fishing season.

It is Sunday so I went for a 2.5-3 hr ride on the atv.......shit haven't done that in years! When I came back my wife even said I smelled like I've been riding.......hehe I got a kick out of that. I grew up with bikes......always had a bunch. Sold everything 10 years ago to buy a place. Then I had kids and life got in the way. So happy I can go riding again......I needed it. :D
What kinda quad did you pick up. I just got a new trx420 to replace my old on but I got lucky and fixed it too so just added one more to the fleet for no good reason but whatever I love quads . Also I been trying to get an older xr70r running again after letting it set in basement for ten years and I had it running good this morning but it quit and well that’s it for now maybe I’ll figure it out. Here’s the new one. 414519AD-E7CF-49D5-B767-3FFFD99C6DC4.jpeg

Sweet....I have an older Kawasaki 650 Brute Force but mainly use it for plowing snow any more. Use to camp and ride a lot...

A friends kid had a drive by high school grad party today. The graduates boyfriend was there, and he just this week got a small ATV, brand new. He was showing off at the party doing wheelies, and crashed into a car carrier trailer going probably 25-30 mph...broke his wrist and collarbone, messed the atv up bad, and did a number on the trailer...all on his 22nd b-day. Oh and just had started a new job as a truck mechanic and won;t be able to work...Poor kid!! Learned a shitload of lessons real fast today:o Oh and the cops showed up when the ambulance was called and wrote him tickets, including driving w/o insurance, which is a felony in NY.

I had a good lazy day....did get about a 6 mile bicycle ride in...NY opens up phase 1 in my area tomorrow, which is mainly government businesses and contractors. Phase 2 in 2 weeks and if all goes well, I may be able to get a haircut....IF all goes well!

Memorial Day Weekend coming up next weekend...gonna be a weird one!

Nice! I ended up with a older arctic cat 500 4x4. It's in pretty decent shape and it has steel running boards and manual trans. I did some shock tuning and little adjustments then went for another ride. Gonna order some minor maintenance stuff this week. And maybe a few other things. The kids loved going for rides.....that alone made it worth it but I also have a plow for it so next winter I'm not gonna be killin my back :)

Yeah, the wife and I used to go riding and camping a lot too. Should have a RIU ride lol

That kid is lucky he didn't hurt anyone else.

I guess we had a gully washer early this morning, about quarter to 4. Added up to 1/4 inch in an hour which for around here is pretty impressive, nothing like midwest thunderstorms though. I slept through it of course.
Hopefully the ground will be hard enough so I can cull some peaches today, it's time.

Watered everything. Pruned and tied up the tomatoes. Saw that they are fruiting which makes me happy. Harvested some mint to make way for the jack-o-lantern pumpkin plant. Might even go setup my MIL’s garden since it’s cooler today. High is supposed to be 73f.
I saw last night just before dark that I have little tiny long neck squash which is a little weird because I never seen them bloom.

My main goal for the week...Income tax prep! I always hate doing it, but once I get going it's not terrible...I haven't even talked to my accountant.....ugh!

Some grow the squash and then the bloom...It is weird how they do that...I hadn't planted squash in a few years and was wondering the same thing but today I had some big old blooms. Not bad for NY on May 18!!
