Saturday

Today we see snow covering the ground, short lived but nevertheless bringing cold temps with it. It took me till noon to get going today, having slept in til 09:00 I just came in from planting peas in the along the north fence(southern exposure)

Gardening update

I have just sighted growth in my seed starting trays !!!

Sunday

The morning has been nice, just Ross and I, and he's still in bed. The wife and daughter have been spending the night at a friends.

I've just gotten in from more garden work

My main garden is now over twice the size of last year. I did a quick finishing pass, I still have a low spot where the pool was. As soon as I get the tire on the wheel barrow fixed, I'll move more soil in from another part of the estate...LOL...

This is my grow light set up, two 55 watt compact florescent powered by a 230 volt OSRAM ballast and controlled with a 24 hour timer. Just waiting on those tomato seeds to sprout now!

Saturday

Taking a weekend off, or so it seems. If I can help it my truck won't leave the driveway. I'm making a fresh pot of coffee and then I'm out to begin till'in the back yard.

This morning I've wired up my new grow light set up, complete with timer, for the tomato seedlings I'm expecting to see next week...

And, so it begins

The 2010 garden season has begun, this evening I started tomato seeds. Roma, Better Boy and Super beefsteak. Warm rains are in the forecast for the next week, I'll be tilling after it dries out.

New to me bow

Didn't take long to part with a big part of my ice house money. I found a nice used PSE Vengeance bow nearby for $300 bucks, came ready to shoot with a hard case.


Took a couple shots as soon as I got home, very quick and quiet. Big improvement over what I was shooting...Can't wait for fall now.

Ice house sold

The ice house I built last fall has been sold. Glad I was able to get rid of it, served it's purpose this season. Now it's time to design and build another.

Smoke report

Smoked at couple of good cigars this weekend. The first was the La Gloria Cubana Nice smoke, very good draw, almost too good smoked pretty fast. Got a little hot near the end, likely due to burning so fast. The second was the Cohiba XV. This is a smoke that never disappoints, very tight, burns nice, smooth to the end, highly recommend.

The Cars

Yeah, was a fav in the day...
