Not too many skeeters around here now.
but 8am and 80° + 80% is oppressive.

Last afternoon I decided I better put another ac in a window. First window I couldn't get the screen out without breaking it. So since the kitchen window had the screen out I put it in there. Later I noticed the bottom wasn't right. Turned it off and went to open the window and lost the AC. End over end into the flower bed.
I was surprised I was able to get it up and into the window from the outside. It's a 8000 BTU and heavier than I like.
Waited until this morning to turn it on so the oil could settle. Still works

We use mousetraps to catch skeeters here in New Jersey.
75° and 84% at the moment. Miserable.

yeah, 80F + here, too. I was going to move the lawn mower, dead battery. gave my extension cord to GS this morning, so I had to fix an end on another one for me.

DD is having 16 yards of potting soil delivered on Friday. I told her to have them drive along the edge of the soybean field to get it back to where she is going to need it.
Otherwise I would have to haul it back there a bucket at a time with the tractor.
we tried mouse traps for mosquitoes here, too.. but they kept flying away with them.

That's the side I wanted to see.
Is the glass on the back so you can see the feed level where it's mounted?


Can you clone hybrids or just heirlooms?

Yes, glass on the back.

I can do that. Been sick today and yesterday, think I have a virus or something.

Turns out I have Lyme Disease! And with this medication, I need to stay out of the sun.

Damn! Best of luck with the meds and hoping for a speedy recovery. Is it Cipro?

Doxycycline probably? The standard ABT for Lyme. It causes photosensitivity.
