Not a meme but just could not resist posting this here. I stole this from Elons twitter post.

Wonder how he fell off a bike that has training wheels. Brandon the Pedalphile

Yes it is good to take a swim on a hot day. I have only used the pool 3 or 4 times in 20 years. My wife loves it as do my Granddaughter, Grandsons and nieces and nephews when they visit. The skimmer cracked over winter and we need to get a new one. The one we bought is not the right one and we can't remember the brand and cannot find the manuals we kept. We bought it in Punxy from the Pool Guys but they are no longer in business. So hopefully we can find the right one. well hopefully my wife can I haven't looked.

Thanks

The strawberry eaters. More so the younger one last year. She is 1 1/2 years old and the Rottie is 12 1/2 years old. She is a Greater Swiss Mountain dog. Similar to the Burmese Mountain dog but with short hair. She is as big as the Rottie weighing at around 90 some pounds and she isn't done growing. Sorry for all the pics Steve. I did resize them down. Somewhere between 80 kb to 180 kb. There may be some just a tad bigger but I don't think so.

A few more random pics. The second one is herbs in the pots.

These are Yukon Gold and Kennebec potatoes planted. I have some planted in a couple small laundry baskets and also 10 five gallon food grade buckets. Also in a little 6" tall raised garden bed. I will let you know how the buckets and the baskets turn out. I just put some newspaper around the baskets to keep the dirt in. Now this is paper before it was used for printing. It was left over rolls that the paper sold me a few years back. You can use just regular newspaper that is already printed on it would not hurt. Determinate potatoes are varieties with tubers that grow in just one layer. For this reason, the plants do not require mounding of the soil around them. This has not been a good year for me to pant as my hands and feet hurt pretty bad so I could only do a little bit at a time. so i just got finished planting last week. 15 minutes or so and then a break for a few hours and the about ten more. I paid for it as I went to bed.

We also have about 5 blueberry bushes. Now Mr D he has about 50 and we usually go over there and pic.

The upper garden has pumpkins, some Pizza peppers, Sweet banana's, hot banana's and Cauliflower. The far left in the back is Rhubarb. There is also a little section with Asparagus and a little basket of strawberries that I didn't get a pic of.

The first pic the trellis on the far left has peas, watermelon and cantelope. The middle trellis and far right are all canning tomatoes. Next pic is celery. They almost died but came back. The last pic is romaine lettuce on the left and head lettuce on the right. It looks like they are ready to be cut. I may have to give them away. I just wanted to see how well they grew and they took off. Now this garden was not tilled. I only used my weed eater with a cultivator attached and used 10/10/10 fertilizer and some yellow bag Black Kow manure. I bought a 3 1/2 cu. ft. cement mixer and mixed black Kow, some peat moss, a little mushroom compost, 10/10/10 fertilizer, some bagged chicken manure and some Perlite. Also it looks like I need to weed a little bit again. I hate weeds. I can only weed about 15 minutes and then my hands hurt so bad. So next year it is all raised beds hopefully.

I believe the first one is cuccumbers, the other side of the trellis is peas, the last pic is the cattle panel trellis I installed. I added a second panel but havent build any side beds for it yet. The other one has live edge lumber for the beds.

cabbage and broccoli

Some peppers, onions, lettuce and brocolli

Like at my mothers Strawberry plants are doing well but no berries. Now the berry plants I left in the containers have berries on them. I am waiting for an Amish guy that I know to build me a 4'x8' raised garden bed since my hands do not work so well anymore with my arthritis. The last picture is of wild strawberries growing around my from rock garden and all along the one side of the house. The dogs like to eat these as do the chipmunks.

Then we have some strawberries in this round metal fire ring. the are not doing well this year well the plants are good but no berries yet. Then we have potatoes in small raised garden. It is only about 6 '' tall but Yukon golds were planted and they are doing fantastic. Finally a shot from the porch and some roses which started to actually grow this year.

then we have on the other side some yellow onions which haven't started their roundness yet hopefuly soon, then in the middle is celery and then some white onions which are doing pretty good.

Some cabbage, peppers next to them, then two cherry tomato.

Sorry people for the rant. I was in a lot of a pain and took a couple of pain pills and just let my pain frustration out on my keyboard. LOL

To go a little off topic but in a round about way it is all connected. This what happens when you start this indoctrination they make children turn into crazy nutjobs later in life. I think they want this to control the way they vote and think. Pronoun use is the gateway to the downfall of society. The whole world has gone crazy. I was talking to a lady today who works with the Brookville School District they had to put litter boxes out for kids who identify as cats they even have to let kids circle your legs like cats do. (I hope this is not true but fear it is) Now these kids do not belong in school they need to be institutionalized. This is way beyond normal. When they grow up are their employers supposed to put litter boxes out so they can crap in them and do the employees have to let their coworkers crawl around and between their legs or they will be called racist if they do not. It is time to stop all the insanity. She even told me about a college girl who identifies as a doorknob. Yes a doorknob. Doorknobs are inanimate and do nothing so she doesn't have to do anything and she passes her classes. Now this is college folks. Personally I think this one is because the crazy bltch is lazy and wants a degree without the work. Will she expect her employers whoever hires her to pay her to be a doorknob all day long. This is what the Democrats have let the country become. A bunch of lazy, crybaby crazies running amok thinking they do not have to do anything. This all starts in California btw. Get rid of California and maybe the country will return to normal. Rant over Hack Hack sorry fur ball.

Live and let live I believe but this is going to far. You should not be forcing your sexuality on Kindergartners. They are actually hurting the gay community trying to force indoctrinate gay individuals to become transgender imho. Teachers should be teaching the basics and not distributing material on how to become a transgender etc. That is the parents job to educate their child in the matters of the world outside of classroom. Why do they keep pushing this transgender agenda. There is something very wrong in the LGBTQ community. I see a whole lot of customers leaving State farm. Go woke go broke
