Had to deal with a tire issue this morning.  I got a flat the day we winched Bob out of the creek.  When going to the spare I sheared off one stud and stripped another.  Got that all fixed now.  Did a late day weather check and decided to do a quick in an out to Alpine for Ben supplies.  There and back in just under 3 hours.  Raced a storm home that ended up just missing TFL.  Mr. Floppy brought in a new girlfriend today.

As for the plants....the spider mites love cherry tomato, cardinal, and squash.  They seem to be ignoring my 6' beefsteak tomato plant that is in dire need of pruning.  It should start setting fruit when it cools a bit in two months (if I can keep it alive that long).  Lemon cucumber plant is huge but no fruit....same with my melon plant.  Got one healthy avocado growing well.  79,103,73,0,B,0

Post office run this morning.  Only 50 postcard sets left - get 'em while you can.  I need to clear these out so from now until they are gone - you get 2 sets for the price of one.  Checked the trail NE of me today - still no sign of Benita.  Topped off the compost bin then started my first bunch of JD seeds. ..beets, royal burgundy beans, summer squash, quinoa, red winter kale, lemon cucumber, bush beans, chile pepper, black beauty squash, broccoli.  Started processing some tomato seeds from the heirloom plants that Dr. Deb gave me last year.

Also took some old squishy remnants (isn't this how it works in nature?) and stuck 'em in some dirt in the bucket where their mother grew.  ...almost forgot - did a 2 year renewal on my NRA memberhip this afternoon. (worth more than a vote in the next election)   64,76,42,0,B
