There is quite a YouTube rabbit hole to descend when one is formulating the method to build something. As hot as it is today, this is a better use of my time than baking my brains in the yard, though I did spend a few minutes replacing a washer on the hose stand in the front (it stopped leaking at that point, but it is now always on). Water is turned on/off at a regular faucet, this is a free-standing hose stand that is connected by hose and is where I hang a big length of hose to drag over to the garden. Must shop around for the proper washer to restore that fixture.

I was reading an article in today's local paper about the number of unhomed folks who are living rough in the wooded areas over near where I go to my vet's office. If you know where to look you can see the tent and awning encampments. I just pulled it up on Google maps - easy to find when you know what you're looking for. It's a rough business, the employees at the Homeless Coalition are mostly social workers and health care administrators. They do accept donations.

This afternoon I made another batch of my cubed tomato, cucumber, and feta salad. Dish it up and add a couple of tablespoons of Italian dressing and it is a great start to dinner. I also have chickpeas soaking to make hummus tomorrow. Cool food for hot weather.
