This tree is by the pond.
I worked a half-day, today, because tomorrow bright and early Art and I are driving the boat to town – on just the kicker engine (the small one used for trolling – maxes out at about 6mph speed for the boat). We got squeezed in by the boat service guy, after I told him our sad story. My boss/friend Chad drove the trailer into town this evening, so that way the trailer is already there for us.
Meanwhile, I got the washing machine working this morning (see the other day’s blog post for how it stopped working after our plumbing misadventures). Really I just shook it around and banged on it, with the intention to take it apart. It apparently got worried and started working. It seemed to have needed the “Arthur treatment”, I guess: a bit of aggressive handling?
Also, too, my greenhouse had greenthings in it.

nice produce from greenhouse! our garden has burned up – deer ate all leaves off tomatoes. we finally got .75 in. of rain. been very hot & dry. putting hay out for cows already.
always knock things around a little before taking apart – it is amazing how it works “sometimes”! we had tv that ran for months with a “bonk” now and then when it acted up.
Dean says “hell, just buy a new engine for the boat. that’s what i’d do. i’m too old to mess with something that doesn’t work like it should.”
