Wake n Bake, Nothing Better!

The water is coming down the back wall to the area under the drawers. We have to keep taking the drawers out and drying it.

He's got you on the right track. I had the same issue with a fridge in my rental. It turned out to be a combination of things. As I recall, I replaced the thermostat for the defroster, cleaned the drain, extended the heating element with a piece of copper wire down the drain a few inches, and turned the damn thing down. Unbeknownst to me, my tenant was retired and enjoyed drinking beer all day, really cold beer. The combo of low temps, opening the thing up 50+ times a day, and a dirty drain had me chasing my tail for a few weeks. Once your drain ices over, its water falls every time the heating element turns on. There a lot of helpful videos on YouTube as well, good luck.

Shit, had a branch break on the peach tree again, thought I had the peaches culled enough but I guess I should have propped it up also. Oh well, too late now. Tried one but it wasn't ripe enough yet, I need to water it more today. The heat is probably not helping either.
Mornin.

CT scan complete. They sure are a lot easier, faster and quieter, than an MRI. Lets hope it shows something besides my nutsack

Getting some puttering on little "round the house" projects.

Here's a cool little hack if you have a rural mailbox. I put a cheap driveway alarm sensor in there, so when the mailbox door opens, the alarm chimes. My mailbox is a couple hundred feet from the house and I don't always hear the truck, but I do hear the alarm. Or if a nosey kid opens it, you can let them know they have ben busted! Just changed the batteries in mine....and put a couple fresh micro SD cards in the Wyze cams that were no recording....fixed!

Harbor Freight Tools | Whatever You Do, Do It For Less

Harbor Freight buys their top quality tools from the same factories that supply our competitors. We cut out the middleman and pass the savings to you!

Then I have a good quality driveway alarm with 2 sensors. It's more efficient than a dog and sheds a lot less. I know, I know, not the same !!

Ha! I have the same exact unit for two of my plots. Pros: It's pretty loud in either setting. Cons: It's pretty loud in either setting.

Self pollination? No bees? Happened to me with pumpkins for 3 years til I figured it out.

i think it's the bees, especially we didn't have a spring which means no spring flowers, it's like mother nature looked at us and said you get summer right now

in a seriouness, i have seen any bee's, paper wasps, or anything like i usually see........

It could be that bug spray. That's what stopped me from getting it.

Try to stay cool.

This may not always be socially acceptable but it works.

Milkweed, great attractant, also super important for butterflies

She was outside for about five minutes and wanted back in. That’s Petey, her baby.
It’s only feeling like 114 now.

I'm hard of hearing, so it's all good for me!

As a former student landlord, they LOVE to crank the refrige down to it's coldest setting. I've had more than a few ruined that way.

All great advice!!

Damn appliances are getting outrageous like everything else. Thank God for YouTube and cheap Chinese parts!!

I have been soooo ambitious today. Feeling guilty I didn't do ANY Spring cleaning. I took the insulated curtains down in the living room, washed them, and the windows, and blinds. About to rehang them with some lace sheers for the summer. Only 7 more rooms to go Maybe by Fall I'll have it done! No, I am on it!!!

But now it's dab time, followed by a bike ride. Getting warm!!
