didn\u2019t have my cane or stick or anything to send him on his way\u2026 I made sure I notified some other walkers of his presence in the area and most of them decided to totally bypass this section\u2026 when I made my return he was still in the same spot\u2026 I made a quick survey and spotted some large flat rocks on the other side of the road\u2026 (they were part of some <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>landscape<\/strong> work)\u2026 I borrowed <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> of the proper size.&#160; and placed it squarely on this guys <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>head<\/strong> , with force, from a distance\u2026 pretty good shot on first toss and it bounced clear so I moved around and picked it up and did it again\u2026 that time he was pretty flattened out\u2026 around the head\u2026 so I proceeded to use it to make sure his <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>head<\/strong> was really flat\u2026 like in nearly severed off\u2026 \u2026 making a note here\u2026 I need to carry my cane or a walking stick for all future early morning strides down this way\u2026 till they all decided to find a hole or leave\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>After that excitement I felt I deserved a treated so I had my oatmeal for breakfast and enjoyed it on the back deck\u2026 setting on the deck was the treat\u2026 the oatmeal was supposed to be good for me. <\/p>\n<p>Later in the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>day<\/strong> the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>landscape<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>guy<\/strong> came by and they started the work on our <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>front<\/strong> beds to update some of the plants\u2026 I know it is a bit late in the year but has been a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>problem<\/strong> getting him out here\u2026 we decided to hold off on the trees till late September so the hottest of the weather should be over and my watering will be sufficient to get them set for winter\u2026 I want a couple of Japanese Pines added to the mix on my north border.&#160; We removed the sumac from the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>front<\/strong> bed and replaced that with some Nandina bushes and some other <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plants<\/strong> to add color\u2026 we had ended up with nothing more than green shrubs \u2026 hope it turns out ok\u2026 we also added some daylilies and other stuff to the mound in the yard to get some color back into that area as well.&#160; Will see how it turns out\u2026 right now\u2026 it all looks kind of green other than the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>day<\/strong> lilies do have some yellow flowers on them. <\/p>\n<p>The came back today to plant what we had set up and dig up an area for my raised garden bed in the back\u2026 going to leave it open and try to get the Bermuda killed out while I slowly move the frame and get it filled with topsoil.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>Recently I got some pictures that I need to share here\u2026 <\/p>\n<p><a

seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.&#160; My plans to retire at the end of the year or push them to lay me off&#160; are coming to a transition point\u2026 my only real <strong

<strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>guy<\/strong> was done I had to go rework the drip system in the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>front<\/strong> bed as it needed some holes filled and pulled up out of the mulch to it would be watering where I want it to\u2026 got that done and hope it is ok.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>I have been on a bender here\u2026 cooking out more than I have in years\u2026 Used my <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>grill<\/strong> to cook hamburgers 2 days ago and tonight I cooked up some more chicken breasts\u2026 nothing fancy but did put some bacon on them to help keep them moist\u2026 well it was pretty moist but the flavor along with the rub sure was tasty\u2026 strange that we have not been out to eat for several days here?&#160; I usually can\u2019t find anything I want and just go get some fast food or a frozen yogurt\u2026 but the weather has been really nice for August in Oklahoma so being outside has not been the problem\u2026 years past it was so damn hot outside we didn\u2019t know what was cooking us or the meat on the grill? <\/p>\n<p>Late in the evening I caught this\u2026<\/p>\n<p><a
