    Feels like out of nowhere these two are really grown up. 21 and soon to be 16.
    Time flies. My girls.

    Hot and humid this morning made me so happy that I mowed yesterday. Went out and picked a tomato and made a BLT this morning.

    We were just on a jump trip, but much like everything in the military, they make it less fun with huge canopies and rucks hanging from our chests.

    That’s awesome! I have seen soldiers training at the wind tunnel in Fayetteville all kitted out many times. Looks challenging flying with all that for sure. Your aircraft and jump prices are way better though!

    Oops I think I did it again, but the boat is not for me it is for the boys to ski and tube. I mean the kids need to learn how to ski behind a MasterCraft, a boat made for skiing. I found one that I am going to look at, if the motor is solid with good compression it is going to replace the go fast. Nut job Craig's list guy, would not allow a compression test so I walked.

    Bought a new bar and a new chain (not safety chain) for the saw today. I had a 18" cotton wood that broke at the base and hung up in the tree next to it. Short work of that tree, I love big shavings.

    Grilled eggplant slices from the garden. Picked first 3. Today I checked I have 15 on plants, a couple of days from ripe. There are a bunch more flowers. Sweet no bitter skins. So good!
    400 poppers in freezer already. They are just ramping up. Peppers are the perfect heat.

    I doubt you're growing Chinese eggplant, but Sichuan Eggplant in Garlic Sauce is about as good as eggplant gets...provided you like spicy Szechuan Chinese.

    I never really was a fan of eggplant prior, but had a very long project in NYC with an inexpensive 1 Michelin star Chinese restaurant nearby. I ate there so often, I think I tried everything on the menu and it became one of my favorites.
