OSUT 258: Better late than never....Summer Days are Near

[Expat]

Went to the Kroger and bought my groceries for the week.
I think I will cook on the grille tonight. I am not sure when I did that last.

 

[Lpherr]

It's pulled pork sammiches and chips here. Keeping it simple on a saturday.

 

[BeDome]

Been beating up on the burning bushes out front.
I hate them!
Other than about two weeks in fall, they are useless, except for a criminal element evading capture to hide behind.

Mine were above my head, now at chest level, much thinner.
More to do, but I don't really want to scalp them all at once, like they need.

Afternoon Magyars

Hey greg!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy Magyars, Greg, BD, target, Lpherr, Expat. Up from my nap and Susan and the girls are just now leaving to go swimming.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Got a load of laundry going. Between Susan and the girls, the hamper filled up again.

Need to get up on the kitchen counter and get the fluorescent tube and starter down. It started flickering today. Been years since they've been replaced. Want to take them to the hardware store so I can match them up with the replacements.

Wish you were closer. I have about a case of T12 and T8 bulbs to find a home for. I knocked them over the other day and was reminded how far glass flies when they break..and
Hey y’all. Been a minute Hope all is well

BE CAREFUL!
... with that.

We don't anyone else haunting the ER.

Hey tm! The tube is kind of an oddball. TS-30 (30" long) or something like that, and only 1" in diameter.

The only casualty was our old kitchen clock. It had been broken before and I glued it back together, but I think I'll just look for another one at the hardware store.

The starter on the fixture was fried. It was so brittle it was coming apart in my fingers trying to get it out. I finally shut off the main breaker to the house and used pliers to get it out. No wonder it was flickering!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Waiting on the clothes to go in the dryer and then I'll head out.

Burgers on the grill are great.

Yes they were

 

[Expat]

Spare ribs, fried potatoes and steamed sugar snaps.

Clocks are replaceable.
In fact last week I put the wood face of our kitchen clock back together after a random fall.
Hit the tile and shattered.
Guts still worked after regluing the face.

Just keep your feet toward the down side.

Sad to me!

It was before covid, but I can remember buying homemade strawberry pies at the fest.
Strawberry muffins, fritters ...

Decent deal on a couple of qts of "picked this morning" strawberries, etc.

Gone are the days it seems.

even Farmers markets are becoming flea markets. We stopped at one today, it was a smaller town, had about 2 dozen booths. And only 2 selling produce.

 

[BeDome]

Stepping aside for a while.
Tumbler needs a reset, need to refill the sprayer for tomorrow. I did not finish today. (knee)

I have a nap coaxed up within reach, I think.

Evening all y'all
Doing soup tonight

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy red.

Well, this has been a bust of an afternoon/evening. Went to one hardware store and all they had were LED light tubes. Went to Lowe's, found a fluorescent tube, but no fluorescent starters. Went to Ace, no fluorescent starters. Stopped in Goodwill and found a clock for 5 bucks, so that was the high point. Got home, found a starter in my junk drawer and thought, "Cool!" Went to put the starter in the fixture, and there was nothing left to put it in. It was totally fried. So now I have to take the tube back and find a whole new light fixture (LED) and hope I can figure out how to install it.
