Our garage door keypad quit working a few days ago. Tried replacing the batteries, but no go. Bought a new keypad off Amazon, but could not get it to program. Ended up going to Home Depot and buying a more "universal Genie unit" and was able to get it working. It wasn't suppose to take so long. Watching a bit of the Olympics now, as I don't have to do yard work today.

Just made a tuna noodle salad for the daughter's birthday party tomorrow. Need to thaw out some chicken for grilling tomorrow. Go pick up the money for the truck I sold.

Planting a Carolina jasmine. Easy except for digging around the bull panel, and earlier wire I buried years ago to keep a couple of “diggers” from escaping. After digging to the panel, used small bolt cutter and a large ax hammering the cutter to cut through the wire. My son borrowed the large cutter that would work better, but he’s out of town. Even at my age I’m still doing things the hard way.

I took my boys to the woods to fill feeders and pull a couple camera cards. It was overcast and not nearly as hot as I’d expected. Saw some deer and turkeys.

Checked shrimp traps......and noted otter running off as we did it. Collected shrimp.....they'll be used in Sunday morning, St. Augustine Inlet.
Hit a couple of garage sales on the way to the farm. Scored a gallon on Havoline 5W-30W....for $2.....!!
Stopped on the way to Palatka to check a parcel we've not looked at in almost 2 years.....which looked good, mostly because the guys we let hunt on it take care of it.
When we got to Palatka, changed and checked chips in cameras.......and feed up the barn cats, barn cats being indispensable in protecting equipment form cotton mice and other sorts of rodents.
Ran back to Fruit Cove......got the boat ready....
Finished up the ceviche from last night.......and.....now....working through the last of a homemade cheesecake a friend brought last night.

Went into the woods to harvest some firewood for the firepit in preparation for our guest arriving on Friday. I hate guests but they were invited by the GF

Been cleaning up the yard for the past week. Palmettos in my yard all trimmed and hauled off. Was trimming neighbors trash hanging over the fence line, big ficus tree, cut some branches up high standing on a pallet on a fork lift about ten feet in the air using a pole saw. Branch came down but not flat on the ground. When I pulled it over I found out the truck was too close and took out the front windshield.

Reminds me to slow down & pay attention! Seems to happen more often the older I get 😞

We did that to the back window of a pickup dropping a pine log into it - just touched the rear window and "shatter". I hope you are using a powered pole saw. I can't say enough good things about the electric ones form Harbor Freight. Cheap and they get the job done.

Got up and hit the gym like I do almost everyday, camw home and walked my girls. I got changed and we went outside and started trimming bush's, pulling and spraying weeds. Managed to piss off a wasp net in one of the bush's (cucumber fern) and decided to take a break, lol. Wrapped things up later, got cleaned up, went to the grocery store and now sitting on my ass.

Hauled two spent kayakers back to the ramp......mostly because my father would have roared back from the grave to visit violence on me if I'd left them out there.
And yes.......we went fishing.....after pulling shrimp tarps in the morning......culled mangroves........

Got up at 4, coffee and daddy/doggy time. Watched the sun come up and gathered a truck load of trash for the dumpster. Went to the shop to dump trash and check on the German tech dudes that are rebuilding one of our very expensive pieces of equipment. Grocery store for pizza dinner supplies and TP. Afternoon off, and starting another 60+ tomorrow.

I bought two battery powered saws from lowes, one is a pole saw with extension so its about 10 foot and a small hand held. Both are 8 inch saws and 24 volt. That little hand held is bad ass.
