Certainly not the movie you watched last night. You weren't trying to cut a tree down with a herring today, were you?
Edit: Chuck beat me to it.

I still appreciate the effort. We are all so witty, seconds matter!

Well, we didn't get to play. But I did win the grand prize in the raffle!

Update on the blackberry...
Got out the old family fruit press (has to be at least 60 years old), got 6 gallons of wine.

I went ot Milwaukee's Irish Fest, which claims to be "the world's largest celebration of Irish/Celtic music and culture." (They present over 250 acts over 4 days, plus lots of other activities.) First time I attended since the pandemic. Beautiful day, lots of beers and music.

My view this morning and for the next week.
I decided to carry on around the house. I have actually been talking about this for 2 years. Hoping it will keep the skirting cleaner.
Tomorrow I am installing mini split heat pumps (A/C and heat) in 3 rooms. The outdoor unit for the back two rooms is going in the center area by the ladder. The much is also giving me an area to put pavers down for the outdoor unit.
There is a pressure washer in my future!

This was yesterday morning and my wife on my right, sister in law on my left. Five very nice large mouth bass, for more a bit smaller we the back. Fish fry coming up.
Those are now very popular in our neck of the woods. Homes in these parts of the Southwest have never needed AC (in the past). 7000ft EL meant a week or two of hot weather and then monsoons would kick in and lower temps for the rest of the summer so much that fans were sufficient or simple evaporative (swamp) cooler would be more than enough. Now (esp this Summer) we have had basically zero rain and temps in the 90's the whole summer. Lots of new HVAC's going in to older homes. I heard that the ave cost on a mini split install is like $20K (here) which just seems crazy high since these units are not that expensive on their own (to purchase) really and the install is so simple (exterior walls).
Let us know how it turns out. We are at the point of a new HVAC installation ourselves at not sure which way to go.

You can do it Mike, it's not like it's nuclear science or anything.....
Broke ground on the new winery today. There is a mother-in-law apartment going on top of it but let’s focus on what’s important… 760 square feet of basement space with an outside entrance that’s all mine!!
I just need to get it closed in before winter then I can finish the interior.

Global warming has pushed it out to mid November!Doesn't winter start in a week or two in NE Wisconsin?
What’s with the drain tile in the footings
It allows water from under the floor to cross through to the outside drain tile line. I guess it’s code. There will be about 5” of gravel under the slab.
Starting the loading process of the RV for this Monday's departure. Over the last few weeks I've been buying and making extras of proteins for dinners on the road. Most are raw but pre-seasoned and vacuum sealed so that I can sous vide for a couple of hours then throw on our tiny portable grill for 10mins or so. I've got enough for 17 dinners so far which should cover the 21 day trip less 4 days at our daughters and a couple with some of Lori's relatives. To make up for the built-in tiny freezer I found a 50 quart 12v ice chest style freezer that stows under the table to store the majority of the frozen goods. Lori's been teasing me about being so organized and picky about our food but she's lucky she wasn't around in the days where I'd just load up a case of spam, a loaf of bread, 3 bags of chips and 40 cases of beer and call it a day.
