In spite of my hapless gardening efforts and its late planting, things are still flourishing. Zucchinis, cukes, spinach and a few types of lettuce will be feeding us for the foreseeable future. This was a good year to get things in line, but next year I will try to double or triple the plantings. But there's nothing like fresh food from your garden, including chives (which seem to be doing well too) on the potatoes. In the back are some hops and kale, and the chicken coop behind that.

Today a day of drying and warming in the sun after meeting a ten a.m. deadline. And the experiencing the joys of home ownership, like cleaning drains and scraping some paint on the weather (west) facing eaves of the house.

And today I started reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance again and oddly enough, one of the couples (John and Sylvia - the ones that don't know how to do anything on their own bikes) ride a BMW R60 - probably a slash five. And I also read about how to adjust valves and torque heads, so that will soon be another fun project.
