Good morning everyone.
Happy Friday!

Can you come do that to Guz?

Looks good BeauBear!

TN Looks like a wasp to Beau...but until ones gets stung with one, hard to remember one from the next.
- when I went camping @ 15 y/o...woke up one night, with a sting in the Lip
- man O man...talking about a swollen lip and painful

TN - If you're out of shampoo or just need a more cost-effective and efficient cleaner, Murphy's oil soap can also be used to clean your entire car. Clean your interior dashboard, steering wheel and add a pea-sized amount to your vacuum foam to clean your car seats.

25 Surprising Ways To Use Murphy’s Oil Soap
- When diluted properly, Murphy® Oil Soap Original Formula does not leave a residue. Despite the fact that it is called "oil soap," there is no "free oil" left behind. If you see a residue after applying Murphy® Oil Soap for the first time, it's likely that another cleaner was previously used.
- put soap in the water, not the other way around

Supplies Run-Down...
a) Murphy's to clean dash plastic / no silicons left behind
b) AMAZING spray @ dollar store...clean carpet, chrome & brake dust off alloys
c) Novus3 &/or 3M bottle...to paint correct
d) followed up with Novus2 Fine
e) AutoGLYN - like a sealer / but b) seals to

^^ I don't wax vehicles ever / just some paint correction products, to remove swirl marks and water spots and paint oxidation...for a good slippery finish.
- setup for future light hand mitt wash or brush wash...with Murphy's Oil diluted solution

Bought a new couch for my she room!
Now I have to decide on pillows.....here are the choices so far






Thoughts.......what goes best with the couch......

SD,

2 years ago I was out on the deck watching the hummingbirds when this huge insect landed in one of our plants. It was a cicada killer, luckily I had the camera with me...those things are huge!

I've never heard of using Murphy's to wash a vehicle, I'll have to do some research on that, thanks.

I meant the mower must be self-propelled, not the sulky. But it sounds like we're thinking the same way.

Original Paint Yes TN

I have several products - I can clean / detail / Seal / or paint correct with...not the common stuff.
- RubyRed only gets a few hand washes, a year / and touch ups, to remove bird poop
- I still haven't had to paint correct or wax yet
- I was with Murphy's oil...it repels dirt & grime / and during a Rain Storm, it dame near is self-washing

Come winter time- I only drive it once every few weeks, if the roads are dry.
- and the oil part in Murphy's offers a slight protection to trace elements of road salt (to melt ice)

Mel, I believe the riding "lawn Sulky" attaches to the 27" mower (recommended model) and tows operator behind mower, (A poor man's John Deere) for cutting large acreage.

Pillow number 1 it is !!!!!

Holy mackerel, 67, those are some giant scoops...which reminds me, I haven't had any ice cream in a long time...hmmm some butter pecan or praline pecan from Cold Stone Creamery up the road

I know you've probably mentioned it before but is that the original paint job or did you have it repainted?

OK forget about her and more about me !!!
So as I was saying.......
Lets pillow shop folks.....which one do you like the best ........pics a couple posts back......

Hey LaDi, nice couch.

I personally like the 1st pillow choice, classy looking, matches couch, without being overly Dober-obsessed, like the full size picture pillows. And remember, any guests sitting on couch will most likely have a live Dober head in their face, striving for attention (at least ours would) and won't need a picture of same...

Question- Are full picture pillows reversible, with a plain back side?

Ruby Red - I know you've probably mentioned it before but is that the original paint job or did you have it repainted?

Looks like Beau has some Mower reviews & pics...to catch on.

Saturday out Truck'en with brother Twin67 - @ the Mennonites sawmill.
- Larry picked up, 1,800# of White Oak fence posts...customs 4.5x4.5" x 10 & 11 Ft. long
- they will outlast 6x6" Pressure treat, and 3x stronger than 4x4" Pressure treat posts

Luckily RubyRed is built like a 1500HD, with extra Leaf spring over a z71 half ton.
- plus I have a factory Tow package, with Transmission cooler, 4,10 twelve bolt, and new BridgeStone 10 ply truck tires
- got to go back, this weekend...for a load of 2x4" cedar Fence support
(bracing between posts)
- little rear truck spring squat going on, with the weight overload rear down 2.5" - front end up 1.5", on the 100 mile trip home

And 1.5 miles from the Wood pickup - is a quaint little rural variety store.
- with the best premium ice cream, on the planet
- Beau holding his triple scoop, in his left hand...Caramel Turtle Fudge, trust me

Yes, I'm a plant nerd and have no life.

That is not true TN! You have Life and a beautiful Wife and a beautiful Dobe! What more do you need?

Man! You boys are high maintenance!

Fantastic pics as usual, TN!

Dobes chasing bees- never seen it!

Found this helpful chart online, put out by Texas A&M AgriLife, for ID of Asian Hornets vs. look alike insects.
We have Cicada Killers in this area, which have come up on NextDoor forum recently.

...And a random bee...I REALLY have to watch Mocha now because she's always going over to the flower pots and sniffing the bees, and trying to catch them in mid-air.
