My exciting plans for the day...
 

....hope it stays dry for a while.

We were up at Homestead Gardens near Annapolis yesterday evening, and
made a "deal" for some "drift" roses that were in need of TLC. They had
a fungal infection, probably from having sex with unsafe pollinators.
Easy enough to treat.

Anyway, they usually are $24.95 each, and we scooped up a dozen of them
for half price.

So, I'm back to hole digging...my favorite summertime activity.

My exciting plans for the day...

I have two and a half boats, including my half share in a canoe.

I think we all have to do a little yard work now and then, although I
am not really sure why.
I guess it is just an anthropological need, harking back to man's
first attempts at agriculture 8000 years ago.

I try to keep that devil down in the hole as much as I can. ;-)

If this sun holds I am blowing off mowing the lawn for a 3d day of
boating in a row. The grass will still be there monday.



If I don't cut the lawn grass every four or five days during the season,
it becomes a real pain in the ass for my lawn tractor, and I cut the
grass high, too. As far as the hole digging for plantings goes, my wife
wants it done. End of discussion.

Too wet to mow today. Grass needs cutting too.

Oh well.

Every year since the old Magnum PI series, I've thought about buying a 'sit on kayak'. Then I come to my senses. I think sitting almost flat like that for any length of time might be tiresome.

The current fad here is a stand up paddle board.

I've seen videos of those boards and they are available at our local Costco.
I wonder how hard it would be to paddle in 1-2 foot waves?

This is a flat water sport. I suppose there may be some surfer dudes
who could paddle out through the pass with 4' standing waves but I
have seen newbees dumped by a tiny wake ... or just fall off for no
particular reason.



Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows 'em, pearly white...

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows, they begin to spread

I have no problem getting into or out of a standard kayak, or righting
one that has tipped over with me in it.

I'm 6'1-1/2" tall and weigh 205 pounds. As far as I know, the only
person here who has seen me was Herring, and that was 10 years ago, when
I weighed about 255.

What adult expresses their height in fractions of inches? When asked
your age, do you reply 65-1/2?

references. Go enjoy your short boating season, skipper...

I have 2 sit on tops. Both are not uncomfortable. The Hobie is nicer to
use, as the Ocean Kayak Aegean tandem is a little squirrely. I may buy
another Outback for the wife, as she loves mine.

I guess I am going to have to strain the tractor tomorrow. We went
out in the boat again.
We did hit one of those little tropical showers that blew through in
about 5 minutes.
I saw it coming so I had us in a place where I could throttle up to
the wind speed and stay dry under our umbrella.
Then the sun came out and it was beautiful.

I guess I will do my yard chores tomorrow. I still have another stone
cabinet door to do too and I am reorganizing the garage.


----------------

I need to go though the garage also. Tomorrow is the heater / AC guy coming
to give an estimate on a new outlet for the family room as well as check the
hvac. Tuesday is replacing the last 4 windows in the house that are not
double pane. Maybe Weds for the boat.
