Although I have spacebook and twitter accounts, I rarely use them. Apparently spacebook and instagram went down today and I barely noticed. And because I work nights, I slept right through it all.

Bathroom Remodel
I got an estimate for the bathroon remodel on my rental property in town. A bit less than I feared, hopefully I can get it done this week. Between this and the new HVAC unit, the next tenant is going to get a serious rent increase. At least the property taxes did not go upContinue reading “Bathroom Remodel”
Last Minute Planting
Today was one of the few days that the weather was great. The temperature barely reached 80, with a bit more rain than yesterday. I planted some arugula in a little used bed today. Frost should not be an issue, but Persephone Day may arrive soon. At that point all I will be getting isContinue reading “Last Minute Planting”
Baseball needs relegation.
In soccer the teams that finish on the bottom get demoted to the next lower league. This is known as relegation. With the Texas Rangers and Pitsburgh Pirates having lost their 100th game this week, they join the Baltimore Orioles and Arizona Diamondbacks in the 100 loss club. This is the first time that fourContinue reading “Baseball needs relegation.”
Rain at Last
After 22 days of dry weather, we finally got about half an inch of rain. Not enough to add to my water storage, but enough to get the plants a good soaking.
End of the growing season
The radishes I planted two weeks ago finally came up. Tomorrow I plant Swiss Chard and Kale. Time to get the covers ready. Hopefully I won’t need them for a month, but I could get an early frost.
6-man football comes to Southeast Kansas

These teams were well west of Wichita withContinue reading “6-man football comes to Southeast Kansas”
Finally Footy
I haven’t posted much about footy this year. Having to drop my AFL TV package and my Geelong club membership has something to do with that. I also did not go to any Tulsa Buffalo games this year for the first time since they were founded in 2007. I hope this loss of interest isContinue reading “Finally Footy”
Fall At Last
Cooler temperatures have arrived, just in time for the official beginning of Autumn. Lows will be in the 40s for the next two days. There may be a few days left where it might make into the 90s, but it won’t stay in the 90s like it has been.
Attendance Day
Kansas K-12 school funding is based on attendance today. So is sport classification for high school sports. Surprisingly, schools used to make serious efforts to get kids in school on this day. Now they make no effort at all. By the end of the week, we should know what those figures were.
