It amazes me that when we started the pumpkin patch we had some rain and then went into a drought situation. So we did a lot of watering during this time, and then we watered again. We have lost some plants and have over seeded in the hopes they can produce pumpkins in time.

This week seems like all the rain we needed came at once it has been raining daily and the rain gauge is about to overflow. My first thought is I can’t believe we just can’t get a little bit at a time it would be so easy. It is supposed to rain all week. I am not sure this is a good thing you don’t want pumpkins sitting in water but then again everything comes with a price.

This brings me to my second thought of the day. I get to go ride around and spray for powdery mildew and all the fun things that like to grow on pumpkins. That’s OK the part I have an issue with is the price of the spray. It’s so high priced it’s not funny – $245.00 for a quart?! I have four acres. That’s not the worst there is another type of fungus that attacks pumpkins and it takes a different type of spray… OMG the pumpkins are going to have to cost a fortune in order to make any money or there better be a bunch of them! It has been a lot of learning doing this project I am not sure if I am cut out for farming, it can be stressful. Most people think you just plant the seeds spray a little and watch the plants and money roll in, not this case it’s hard dirty work don’t let anyone tell you different.

For those of you that follow what I am up to, I do have a fun project that I have started a 1978 13.3 Boston Whaler Sport it’s a total restoration, new everything, but I will save that for another post!

Have a great Tuesday

Some might think I’m writing about a fight but those that remember the commercial will know where I am going with this…lol

We worked hard yesterday and it was really hot out we are working on a house in need of some repair and clean up. Trina had to make a quick run to the store for supplies and came back with a few McDonald’s ice teas. Surprisingly they hit the spot, after all it was in the high nineties.

I was about spent not realizing it was late and six in the evening so we loaded up and off we went. Trina said “I am so thirsty” – me too – “We should go get a couple of those ice tea’s they hit the spot.”

It wasn’t that far out of the way to go to McDonald’s on the way home so we headed that direction and when we got there they had a special on a Big Mac and fries for a couple bucks. I don’t eat there normally but I said to Trina we should just get something to eat it’s late and by the time we get home neither of us will want to make or do anything about food, we’re so tired.

My First thought was: Crap I hope this isn’t going to be a bad idea I am not too sure about eating here!

So we went through the line in seconds flat, I have no idea how they can move that many people through the line so fast it’s incredible!

We got our food and then I thought what the heck lets park in the shade, down some cool ice tea, and eat our sandwiches. I opened the box and looked at the Big Mac and the first thing that came to mind was were is the beef? I said “hey Trina do you think they could have made this any thinner?” I am a carpenter I know what 1/8 inch looks like and it could not have been much thicker than that!

So my second though is where the heck do they get this beef from and how do they cook it and keep it together? There is no way they are cooking them on site and having them so consistent in size.
I did eat and I didn’t die from it but I don’t know if I will be getting another one soon especially for the price when it is not on sale. I will stick to the ones they make while you wait I think it is worth it to get something a bit better.

Have a great Tuesday
