Mistake in Time

I have a business card on the kitchen counter that says my appointment is at nine this morning.  After showering and a shave I put on my nice clothes for my appoint.  After breakfast I was waiting to go to Fillmore for my appointment with the my Dermatologist.  It turned out I was looking at the card of my physical therapist.

I stopped Ralph Myers insurance.  He is changing who gives me insurance.  He says that it will save me some money.  The car and truck insurance is the most expensive.

My appointment with the dermatologist was a eleven.   I was on time.  I checked with the receptionist; then picked up a magazine.  After turning a dozen pages I went into the exam room.  The nurse asked a few a questions and then the Dr. walked.  He looked at my right temple and then under my chin the left.  This where he found cancer about six months ago.  He applied liquid nitrogen to six or seven pre-cancer things.  I was in the exam room for about ten minutes.

After lunch I began work on the shed.  There was a piece of 3/4 inch plywood west of house five.  It was covered with snow.  I leaned it against a tree that was near to the patio.  It will have a chance to dry out some.  It is a good piece

There was a piece of poly near house five.  It was folded and tied in a neat bundle.  I unfolded it on the driveway.  I was going to use it for the shed roof.  It was really dirty and just barely twelve feet wide.  That wasn't wide enough.  I folded it back up.  There were two large pieces of poly under the house.  I unrolled it on the drive way.  It was about fourteen feet wide.  I cut of about eighteen feet.  In the garage there was a  tube that came from a roll of poly.  I rolled the cut of poly on the tube and it on the roof of the shed.

The photo above shows the roll on the west end of the shed.

I put the extension ladder against the roof and carefully climbed on the roof.  There, I unrolled it to the west.  I maneuvered it around until it was completely covering the roof.

Fastening it to the roof was the hard and time consuming part.  I use a short piece of wood, (about five inches long); one on each end.  That was both the north side and the south side.  That meant a lot of climb down, walking over the front, then back to the back.  I finally got it done and just in time.  There was a quite a breeze that would have blown of the poly if it had started a couple hours earlier.  I fastened the over hand on the back side to the posts.  I then some 2x4's on the roof for additional weight.  Some were twelve feet long and others were sixteen feet long.

The photo above shows the front.  The short boards are attached to the rafter.

The Biggest Harvest So Far

I went outside this morning as it was getting light to start the harvest.  I was interrupted by three deer.

The doe and her fawn was in the back yard a little to the left and behind the cherry tree.  I was behind the pine tree by our patio.  Tiger, our cat, was at my feet.  I took the above picture.  The fawn started walking towards me.  I think that he was most interested in Tiger.

He keeps coming my way.  My smart phone didn't work right.  It kept turning off or switching to the selfie mode.

This is the last photo that I got.   He walked next to me and his nose was about six inches from tiger.  I think that it would have eaten and apple out of my hand if had one.

I scared them away and they went into our neighbors yard to the west of us.   There were three deer in total.

I built a wasp trap our of a bucket and window screen that I made into a funnel.  I had made the funnel several years ago.

The plums are getting starting to get ripe.  I picked some and took them into the house to ripen a little more.  The yellow jackets are eating the ones that fell to the ground.  The next picture are of what I harvested.

These are called Cherry Plum.  They are shaped like a Roma, but are much smaller.  They are juicy and sweet.  I can eat one in two bites.

These are Black Cherry.  This is my favorite cherry tomato.

Bell peppers, Anaheim peppers,  and Jalapeno peppers.

The is a yellow jacket nest in the electrical panel at the east end of house six.  One fell into a cob web on the greenhouse floor.  The black widow came right over to it and killed it.

Two totes of Lemon Boy tomatoes.  They are sweet and juicy.

 I had a 12:30 appointment with the dermatologist.  He dug out some more cancerist tissue on my temple by the right ear.  He scraped some tissue off an other cancerist on my neck on the left sign.

 This is a strange looking cucumber.

I cut a bunch of boxes in half and put each half

We put most of everything that we taking tomorrow morning on the kitchen table and bench.

I pulled a bunch of carrots to take to Mesquite, Nevada tomorrow.  

I spray them with the hose and the wetness gives them a shiny shim.

The yellow jackets made a nest in the electric box.  I sprayed them with W-D40.
