My truck smells like a seedy strip club
Smells like dirt, sweat, cheap greasy food, beer -- and now "desert jasmine," which I misunderstood to be say "juniper."
What a hoot.
Outside the kitchen window, I can see YankeeBeautrothed's feet on the second rung of a ladder. Bird is on another ladder. They have primed and are now painting the arbor over the patio.
YB makes a hand, YB does, and Bird is a hard worker, too.
My own hard manual labor beckons:
Another three-quarter ton of gravel to get from the back of my truck to the "floor" of a shed out back; another few hundred pounds of soil into a low spot of the yard; and I've got got to finish taking down a hog-wire-and-T-post fence I put up to keep Riker and Bailey out of my garden.
Tomorrow, I've got to haul more soil into more low spots, in a front sideyard, and till it and sow more ryegrass in a shadey spot.
Perfect weather for all this, too: Dry, highs in upper 90s, most of the humidity has burned off.

What, do the upscale ones smell like juniper from all the gin and tonics? ;-)
Glad the humidity's lessened for y'all up north. It's still pretty sticky down here in the hills.
