Well….running a little early today…or should be with getting up at 5:14 but I just can’t get moving…okay, this is really weird…when the cops put up their radar sign yesterday, I didn’t expect there would be much of  an effect…but damn, traffic has slowed down to an average of 30 from 50 and the volume of traffic has even decreased this morning…no trucks hauling butt down the street or people flying down it….not sure what the deal is but I’ll take….slept okay last night but I am pretty worn out from all of the riding but I’ll be back on the bike this morning even though I hurt everywhere….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and probably won’t today either but I do need to watch for the damn squirrel that is killing my sunflowers…I was going to be nice but no more…I’ll kill that little shit if I get the chance…okay, yeah, I guess a few plants aren’t worth killing an animal….and the brush killer they sprayed next door is killing them anyway…or it’s the lack of rain…who knows? I am re learning a bunch about tending a garden so I guess that’s something I can apply to the next one….I did make up my own rub for some pork shoulder I got wed and it would have been perfect if I had remembered to put brown sugar in it so I will when I do the rest of of the 7 pounds in the instant pot over the weekend….and I made a new batch of jalpeno pickles that came out good again so it will be my new go to for pickles as I get more cukes from the garden….actually have 5 more cukes that are growing, too….should have a hundred but what can you do?  more later….
