Well, I do have a couple stair rails with 550 cord strung between them to attempt to get them to climb. My wife is a bit afraid that the vines wont be able to support the weight of the squashes when they start coming in though.

Chicken wire fence worked well to keep the groundhog away from the squash. Squash is going nuts again, not sure how I’ll keep it in the garden bed. Green beans are going well, replanted a bunch of carrots to replace the ones that died hopefully. I think that whst I thought were Brussel sprouts are actually cucumber, and what I thought was cucumber is Brussel sprouts so neither is where I wanted them. Raspberry bushes are also coming in very quickly, blueberry bushes are being very slow.

Something something pass the butter.

As said elsewhere, you’re probably farther north, or in a larger city (or both) than them. Where I am I can get away with about 4 words. Even just a day’s drive south starts to test my patience.

"Dear ICE,

We will be arriving somewhere between 73 hours and 5,200 hours from now. Please prepare accordingly.

Regards,
Inspectors"

It’s basically R.E.D. but from wish.com.

I put fencing up around the plot today, hopefully that works. Next step is to systematically armor up all the areas that it keeps trying to dig into with landscaping blocks.

IIRC any time an article headline asks a yes/no question, the answer is no.

Carrots appear to have mostly died unfortunately, and a stupid groundhog keeps eating the leaves off my squash plants. I’ve been trying to chase him off for a while now.

I believe i have them in a RAID right now. At least I still meet 3-2-1 for important stuff since I have those drives in my computer, various flash drives, an external hard drive, and a cloud spot.

I just replaced a Note 9 a couple months ago. Before that was a Note 3. I despise setting up new phones.

Do mirrored drives in a computer count as 1 or 2 locations? It’s physically 2 locations, but kinda act as one for most software type issues.

I probably should have worded that better. I found the flash drive they were on. They are now on two mirrored hard drives in my tower, the flash drive, and a cloud service.

I have two drives in my tower that are just for my data. They are just folders of files. And there are two because I lost a chunk of data when the single drive it used to be died. Luckily most of it was also elsewhere, but I did think I had lost half of my wedding photos since I couldnt find the flash drive.

Just got the guy out who put the roof on my house out to see if he could find where a small leak had developed and reattach a piece of flashing. Flashing was easy, he popped a new nail in, I just dont have a ladder that would raeach that area. He couldn’t find anything obvious for the leak though so he just hit all the likely places.

Well, your hypothetical is more realistic than my hypothetical. I just didn’t want my voting record in my home with the way things are currently going just in case. I didn’t even think of coercion.

I like the way my area does it. Electronic machine, prints an easily human readable ballot that you then review and physically turn in. Only change I’d be tempted to make would be if it printed a copy for you to keep, but I can think of issues with that idea.

Found that there is probably a small leak in my roof somewhere, so that’s fun. Not sure what else would be causing a wet spot on the exterior wall after last night’s rain.

On the bright side, the bit of rain over the weekend basically filled my 2 rain barrels so at least I know that works and collects a good amount of water. Somewhere around 80 to 90 gallons would be my guesstimate.

Edit: Rained a bit more, definitely some sort of leak, but also rain barrels are nearly full now (I’d guess north of 100 gallons, 100% full should be 110 gallons)

You know, the truck I had at the time somehow never had it’s Sirius radio shut off. Although, I never got billed for it either…

I wonder what list that ear piercing high Ab with the trumpet 3 inches from the phone when I was having an exceptionally bad spam day put me on.
