Jason is back for a couple weeks

July 1st already, WOW! 

 

Jason is back for a couple weeks. 

Thursday the 18th Rose said her lawn tractor died, sounds like it's not getting fuel, guess what I'm doing this weekend.  Got to order a maintenance kit, Filter, plugs, and oil.

Supposed be 99+ today after the 92 degrees we had Thursday evening.  Look at Tuesday weather 103 degrees yikes.  It's Summer! 

 

June 19th they are re-doing Rt 114 that runs along the back of our field, they work from 6PM till god knows when, it's bothering the dogs a bit with all the heavy equipment running, and grinding the tar surface. 

I made the repairs to the trailer, and low and behold whem I hooked the new trailer lights up they worked!  Nice I don't have to mess with the car wiring. 

June 20th, Jason arrives back in NH today! He made it back, Jason picked him up at Logan, they both texted us they'd made it back.

Saturday morning PSNH-Eversource called they have repairs to make on some lines, our power will be out from Noon-2PM!  Two hours isn't too bad and it's only be 86 degrees today, much longer we'd need to get the generators running for the fridges and freezers.  Ended up getting power back at 3PM.

We're off to Home Depot to pick up some 10 foot flashing and goop for the workshop roof.  Our newly revamped trailer worked great!

The Roses are blooming! 

Jason stopped by Saturday evening, so great to see him, he looks great! He and Jarrod were out looking at cars earlier, he like the Hyundai Santa Fe he saw, we were chatting and he looked out the dining room window and he saw one of the cottontail bunnies out in the deer-yard we haven't seen a bunny in a few months, we were sure the fox picked them all off.

I freed a Wren from the clutches of the screen-house this morning 

Sunday Rose was off to Taylor's baby shower, the girls had a blast, Joe and I took dad into Lowell to see his/Nana's old house, Indian Rock, and stopped for lunch.

There was a deer just laying in the field by Lake Chloe, I took a few pictures, we were kinda hoping to see a fawn with her.  I snuck out the front door and around the house by the run-in shed, she looked right at me seemingly not worried I was there in the least.

Lightning bugs have been out, betting Monday and Tuesday night they'll be thousands of them.  Can't wait.

Supposed to be 97 degrees on Monday, Yikes, shades are all pulled early this morning, and the fans are all on. 

Tuesday is supposed to be the hottest day this week. 99 degrees with a "feels like" temp of 101 degrees. 

So many birds, they're liking the newly mowed field.  Red-wing blackbirds, and common blackbirds that patrol the field, bluebirds, sparrows, hummingbirds, orioles, mourning doves, grackles, pigeons, Rose said at least 5 pairs of tree swallows, barn swallows, phoebe, blue jays, and cowbirds a few different hawks, I'm sure I'm forgetting some...

Wednesday it'll be 94 degrees, 83 degrees at 7:30AM it's HOT!   

One of our big older fans gave up on Wednesday unleashing it's magic smoke and stinking up the dining room, Rose smelled it right away I turned it off unplugging it and put it outside in the back yard.  Could have been bad...

Ketchup didn’t start with tomatoes, or America, or sanity: it began in 6th-century China as a sauce made of fish intestines, bladders, and whatever else fell out when nobody was looking. And how did they prep it? Just mix it all together and leave it to rot in the summer heat for 20 days. Bon appétit!

Fast forward through centuries of culinary evolution (featuring mushroom ketchup, peach ketchup, and whatever British people were doing), and eventually some genius in Philly thought, “What if we make this not horrifying?” Enter: tomatoes. 

Turkey Hen with 8 poults came in Thursday morning 

Chonk of a crow in this morning too.

Friday Crows at work

 

COOKOUT Mom and Dad were over Saturday afternoon, Jarrod, Crystal, James and Jason too. Dogs, Burgers, and Linguica on the menu, the weather was kinda crappy, sprinkled off and on. 

A couple of whitetail does showed up in the deer-yard before they left making Moms day.

Rose heard that NH is going to stop vehicle inspections for cars every year, that'd be nice. 

Jason bought a new to him 2013 Honda Civic while he was back on leave. 

JASON, MOM, DAD, and the back end of Zebulon

A couple of Raccoons stopped in at the DeerYard Saturday evening 

Looks like it'll be a nice day on Sunday 

Rose, Crystal, James, and Jason are off to Hampton Beach on Monday supposed to be nice weather and 90 degrees.

We're noticing a distinct lack of honeybees this year, the clover in the field is usually covered in bees, there's little to no bee activity, I've seen a couple of bumblebees.

The apples have all dropped off the trees in the heat. 

My Tomato plant is flowering!

The Deer and Raccoons have been coming in almost daily now, the deer between 1 and 3PM. The Raccoons much later in the evening.

Still lots to do here on the farm. We're painting the workshop and barn, I need to put a maintenance kit in Rose's tractor, we have the wood for the Blackberry raised bed. Is the pace we’re keeping this summer ideal? NOPE. 'Tis what it is.

James and Jason are coming over Thursday 7/3 he leaves for NJ later tonight, it's a 5 1/2 hour drive back to base.  Both of the boys are working night shifts right now, James starts ~6PM, Jason works 7PM to 7AM, 5 days on one week, 2 days on the following week.

I saw some Purple Loosetrife in the field below the old apple tree, It's an invasive species in NH. I'll have to go hack it all down soon before it goes to seed. 

They have sign about a Lithium Ion battery drop off and BAN coming on July 1st, scared for a moment then looked it up it's a ban to dispose of them at the dump or trash pickup. Whew, almost all Laptop batteries, Solar batteries, and power banks are Li-Ion batteries now.

I poked my head out the back door looking for fireflies, nope, not a one. 

Thursday morning and the severe Thunderstorm warning are out already until 6PM tonight.  James and Jason came over, we're going out to Milford for a Hot Dog and Frappe,  on the way a wicked little squall came up, branches down, looked like there was going to be trees down.  We survived!  We left Hayward's and went to King Bowling in Goffstown I lost...  A great day we has a blast with the boys!

 

 

Thursday night one BIG, HUGE, GIGANTIC, BOOM went off! 

IT'S INDEPENDENCE DAY, THE 4TH OF JULY! 

HAPPY 4TH ALL! 

Friday morning sitting on the back steps at 4:30AM, sipping my coffee watching the day start, I watched the sun chase the mist off the field.  The spider silk and morning dew glinting in the suns rays.  

I let a sparrow out of the screen house this morning.

Jason called around quarter of 5 this morning after I texted him to see how he was doing, he said he was about 45 minutes away from his base!  He said the drive wasn't bad at all, a bit tired but a good trip.

Working on Rose's tractor today, cutting out that Loosetrife, and setting up the sprayer for some poison ivy that is out of control.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Conmen and warmongers George Bush and Barack Obama and their buddy Bono from U2 slammed President Trump for gutting the USAID Democrat Party slush fund.  Trump sent the USAID employees packing this week after shutting down the agency in January. Democrats were hurt the most. 

The Dems had a plan to end it with ample help from Republicans. Spend us into insolvency, and everyone on the dole gets cut off when the fake money runs out. Give until we collapse. The Cloward-Pivening of America. Reduce it to fiscal ashes and economic ruin from which the utopian phoenix may rise. 

The narrative that “the economy cannot function without illegal immigrants” is not only troubling—it's offensive.  

 

Every president in my life has done this.

Joe Biden (2021–2025)

2021: Ordered airstrikes in Syria against Iranian-backed militias without Congressional authorization.

2022–2023: Conducted retaliatory strikes in Syria and Iraq following attacks on U.S. forces.

2024: Reportedly conducted strikes in response to escalations in the Red Sea/Houthi involvement.

Donald Trump (2017–2021)

2017 & 2018: Ordered missile strikes against Syria in response to chemical weapons use—without Congressional approval.

2020: Ordered the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq—widely debated for lack of authorization and potential act of war.

** Barack Obama (2009–2017)**

2011: Led NATO air campaign in Libya to oust Gaddafi without Congressional authorization. Claimed the War Powers Act didn’t apply due to “limited engagement.”

2011: Operation Neptune Spear – Sent Navy SEALs into Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden, violating Pakistani sovereignty without their consent.

Drone strikes in Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, and elsewhere—many never authorized by Congress.

George W. Bush (2001–2009)

Post-9/11: Although the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) was passed in 2001, Bush used it to justify wide-ranging global actions beyond the original scope, including surveillance and strikes in countries not named in the resolution.

** Bill Clinton (1993–2001)**

1999: NATO bombing of Serbia (Kosovo War) – No Congressional authorization; done through NATO. The House even voted against authorizing continued bombing, but Clinton continued.

1998: Operation Desert Fox – Airstrikes against Iraq over WMD concerns.

1998: Missile strikes in Sudan and Afghanistan targeting al-Qaeda after U.S. embassy bombings.

George H. W. Bush (1989–1993)

1989: Invasion of Panama to remove Manuel Noriega. No prior Congressional authorization.

1991: Gulf War (Iraq) – Did eventually get Congressional approval, but military buildup began before that.

Ronald Reagan (1981–1989)

1983: Invasion of Grenada – No Congressional approval.

1986: Bombed Libya in response to terrorist attacks.

1980s: Various covert operations and military support in Central America (e.g., Contra support in Nicaragua) with highly questionable legal bases.

 

That's All!

June 2025

 June 2025

 

She's right, Rose mentioned not only have we not seen the cottontail rabbits, but we haven't seen the Possum or the Raccoons lately.

Blueberry blossoms are done, berries are forming up.

Rained Friday night, and Saturday it was pouring when I got up at 4AM, by 5:30 AM it was pouring buckets.

Sunday Rose did some weed whacking, I moved and repaired the windmill and did some mowing.

Freddie 

 

Sunday 9-10pm went out to check on the latest CME to see if we could see the Northern Lights, nope nothing to see here. 

We retrieved on of the A/Cs from the shed moved it into the house it's supposed to be in the 90s Wed/Thursday.

Mixed up some weed killer, spraying under the windmill, and birdbaths.  We pulled out most of the grass from the back Iris beds.

TIME...

Still my fave all time rendition of this Simon & Garfunkel song

Rose and I walked around the workshop and barn Thursday evening to review what we're going to do about paint and repairs on the buildings.

Mom & Dad are coming up for Dinner Friday evening it's been a while since they were up here.  James joined us for dinner then had to leave for a graduation party at one of his friends houses.

It rained like crazy Friday into Saturday, Jarrod called Saturday said James ended up having to leave his car and walk home due to the washed out roads in Hillsborough, a lot of damage in the town.

I checked the Website for Hooksett Fireworks, I was concerned with the new tariffs that prices would be sky high, most if not all fireworks come from China.  I was pleasantly surprised they are keeping prices the same as last year!

I mowed the front yard Friday afternoon

It's the town-wide yard sale tomorrow Saturday, always fun! 

Still need to replace the trailer's tail lights.

We picked up some lumber Saturday AM, they were all out of 1x8"x8' boards

The mosquitos are so bad, we got eaten alive hooking up the trailer to get lumber  if you're not careful they'll carry you away. 

We'll cut up some plywood to replace the trailer sides so we can paint them to protect the wood.

It's Sunny Sunday morning hopefully it sticks around a bit, we're both tired of all this rain and it's just encouraging the mosquitos.

I sprayed bug spray around the house foundation Sunday.

We got the plywood cut up for the trailer sides then we looked to see what we had for paint in the basement, Rose'll start painting the trailer sides, she finished, the trailer parts look great painted.

4:30 AM the robins started their morning song calling the light 

The pregnant deer has banished her twins from last year Rose thinks she'll have the fawn any day now.

Rose exited the workshop to find a Pitbull with no collar on at the corner of the barn, she retreated and the dog left.

Phoebe's built two tiny nests on the back of the barn, one had babies in it. One day they we were seeing just heads waiting to be fed, the next day the two fledglings were standing on the edge of the nest, the next day they had all flown the coop, that was fast.

There's a crazy sloppy birds nest on the side of the workshop, long grass hanging down from the sides of it.

Friday I finished trimming the trailer side pieces, Rose and I mowed for a couple hours then worked on replacing the trailer lights.  We found the cable I needed to test the trailer lights finding the wiring for the car connector was damaged. Great!

More damned rain on Saturday, my tomato plant in the back yard is growing like crazy...

Variegated Weigelia

Rhododendron
 

Happy 250th Birthday US Army! 

We played catch with Winston and Zebulon in the front yard for a while, we'd ignored them working all day.

Saturday we'll pick up a bunch of stuff we've been meaning to get. Went to Manchester, Home depot bought some paint, rollers, etc. then off to Burlington Coat Factory, they had a guard in a bullet proof vest guarding the door, letting people through a strap one at a time, then on the way out each person had to wait for the strap to be lifted so you could leave, was I in some alternative universe? WTH is this?  Today was the last time I'll ever shop there again, unarmed anyway!  We're rethinking everywhere we go now, evidently things got real bad in Manchvegas and I just didn't see it. I'm assuming this is due to mobs robbing stores blind. I've only seen mobs raping and pillaging stores on TV and videos.  

We're getting psyched to see Jason home on leave soon, he'll be arriving on June 20th!! 

Woke up with the Robins at 4:30AM this morning

BEDFORD, N.H. — Two New Hampshire police officers were hit by a car early Sunday morning and treated at the hospital, authorities said.

The Bedford Police Department said after 3 a.m., an officer was on patrol when he saw a vehicle running in the parking lot of the Hampton Inn and Suites on Hawthorne Drive with two people inside unconscious.

Backup was called to the scene and the driver of the car, Brandon Legere, 43, of Manchester, attempted to flee in the vehicle, hitting the two officers and two police cruisers, police said. 

The crazies are getting closer... 

I was putting the last of the finishing touches on the trailer, last screw, impact driver slipped off the screw head driving the Phillips bit deep right into the side of my thumb, ouch, ouch, ouch...  

To those of you who are Fathers.
Happy Father's Day! 

It's a big job. 

 

 I took Winston to the Vet for his yearly check up, he did great!

Gas was $2.78 a couple weeks ago now it's over $3.03 a gallon

We're going into the heat over the next 5 days up to 99 degrees on Tuesday

The mainstream media and Democrat politicians have long insisted that mass deportations would cripple the American economy.

But the reality unfolding in Nebraska tells a starkly different story—one that demolishes the Left’s open-border talking points and affirms what millions of Americans already know: Mass deportation works. 

“Mainstream media” shocked they are being treated as the Liberal activists they truly are by inciting LA riots then pretending to cover them in an unbiased manner 

KING OF FUNDED MAYHEM George Soros likely behind L.A. terror riots in effort to preserve illegal immigrant vote counts for Democrats at midterm elections 

Democrats will do what Marxist globalists and Western Intelligence agencies have been doing across the world for many years: instigate riots, mayhem, sabotage, and general rebellion.  For months, every American with two brain cells and a pulse has understood that Democrats were preparing for a 2020 “summer of love” reunion tour now that President Trump is back in the White House.  Just as they took advantage of fentanyl fanatic George Floyd’s death by railroading four Minneapolis police officers and kicking off a months-long rampage of arson, looting, and murder in Democrat-run cities across the U.S. five years ago, violent Democrats have been salivating at the chance to turn the summer of 2025 into a bloody, fiery nightmare for law-abiding Americans.  It’s what Democrats do. 

The fake Bird Flu narrative is falling apart at the seams, and nobody seems to be worried about it or rushing to the doc-in-the-box for some toxic jabs, so the BIG LIE must shift to a new, deadly, horrific, fast-spreading Wuhan Cave Flu narrative. Yes, the new variant is spreading around the globe faster than Fauci can remove his mask after a plandemic press conference. Run for your lives. Lock yourself down. Cover your children’s eyes, ears and nose with something, anything. This is the big one. Sure.  

Listen to the words...

Biden’s AUTOPEN REGIME laundered $93 BILLION through Energy Department right before Trump took office, exposing last-ditch money grab by oligarchs

 

That's All Folks!
