I have to defrost my freezer again, and one of these days get the drain system from the defroster repaired. I am using ice cube trays because I disconnected my ice maker from the wall water for the time being.

Kitchen is looking good, and I moved a couple of rolling storage things out to see if I can use them somewhere else since they aren't needed in the kitchen any more. I am looking for a way to store produce, so I may set them up in some coolish place for the onions that will soon be coming in from the garden. I wish I had a root cellar, or any kind of cellar, but all of the houses around here are built on slabs. Best I can do is find a interior closet and roll these in. I do have one, but the vacuum cleaners live there right now.

Out to the yard, to finish mowing before noon. I'll take the dogs over into the woods for a little stroll also, but it's too hot out in the open for anyone nowadays.

Afternoon work in the house. I have a hose clamp to put on a nice stand fan I found for $3 at a garage sale, but the collar that attaches to the stand is cracked. I have rubber bands, but realized I could hold it with a hose clamp over a rubber band and it will hold great and look kind of interesting.

I'm kicking myself--I let the dog pool fill and forgot about it for several hours. I could hear water running when I was going to bed hours later and realized the hose was still running hard in the yard. Damn damn damn. That's more than a week's worth of showers for my son right there (at an hour a pop)--the bill will be high this month if I don't get him to cut them down by half for the rest of the month. I'll see what I can do.
