Not very wordy tonight either
Did a bunch of work in the garden today (the rain finally let up) and working on some other stuff tonight. Tomorrow is forecast for Sunny so spending the day in the garden. Lettuce and beans and peas are starting to flourish and the maters are settling in for July and August.
I overdid on the tomatoes (got 12 plants in the ground) so I will probably be cooking them and freezing them. Or canning -- never canned before but it should not be rocket science especially with something as safe (high acid) as maters.
Have an auction coming up in a few days:
PENINSULA PLYWOOD GROUP, LLC.
Auctions like this are a lot of fun as 90% of the people are going for specific pieces of equipment and I love watching two or three bidders being played off of each other by the auctioneer. For large industrial plants like this, there is always an "engineers corner" where the people that did maintenance on this equipment stashed the cool little kibbles and bits. You need to know what you are looking at but there are some incredible bargains to be picked up for pennies on the dollar.
I am also looking forward to drooling over this entry: Brown & Sharpe No. 3A universal mill -- these machines were built back in the early 1900's and are classic heavy metal. I may even offer a bid if it looks to be in good shape.
Anyway, more posting later this week...
