Living

He replaced the broken tail light on our travel trailer. He then decided to replace all of the outside lights on the trailer with LED lights.
Next, he waxed the entire trailer.
The hull of the boat and the motors haven't been waxed in over 30 years. Jim decide it was time. The boat looks brand new.
I've seen a lot of videos about laundry stripping. The socks I wear playing pickleball have turned greyish and are stiff. I tried the laundry stripping. Didn't do a thing for them.
One day I heard Bo outside barking in a different tone. He was barking at and charging something in the ornamental grass by the deck. When I snatched him up, I saw the tail of a snake. Unfortunately, in biting at it, Bo had killed it. A couple of days later, there was an even bigger racer snake curled up at the foot of the deck. I caught Bo before he could do any damage. The snake disappeared under the deck. We've seen 4 snakes in our yard this spring.
My garden is growing.
I decided that I wanted curbing along the back propery line and the west side of the backyard. This is the before picture.
Extruding the concrete curbing.
This is the after picture. We're really pleased with the new curbing. Next month we'll finish the cleanup and will put river rock in the section along the wall.
Our La Quinta house solar panels have gone offline. We can't diagnose what the problem is remotely so they will stay off line until we return in November. It's too bad as they were helping reduce our power bill. The temperatures are consistently in the 100s now so the air conditioner is running a lot.
Jim and Bo.
