Awake 5:24 am Temp Downtown=55 Sunny 16 hrs 52 min of daylight

Another beautiful day for us. Kathy searches the web for EuRail pass info.
Meanwhile, I continue my BIG DIG in the back yard. My tilt trailer is full
of dirt so I use the RV parking pad & dump that dirt on a clear plastic
liner to retain my neat guy reputation. Two loads & 6 hrs of labor later,
I am a little concerned the information I have as to where this end cap
might be buried is bogus & I'm using up a lot of energy for naught. I stop
my digging for today & decide to call the experts tomorrow.

Guess what: That BIG & beautiful flower box that WE are so proud of with
it's precision engineering & construction is slowly self destructing. (66)
2 inch screws, silicone sealing, moisture proof paint throughout with
bottom holes for draining...apparently was not good enough. (11) days
later & one heavy downpour has resulted in some serious warping &
twisting. The power of warp literally has pulled the screw heads off many
of the screws & the front & real sides are pulling apart. Soooo, Kathy
meticulously transplants those flowers back into other pots, separates the
potting soil from the pea gravel, separates the pea gravel from the white
granite rock & bags up all three. Then back into the lower garage goes
the BIG box for further scrutiny & a possible winter repair. What a
revolting development!

9:05 Dinner: Fresh Salmon, spinach noodles with fresh tomatoes, toast &
salad.

Watch 1/2 of video movie from library: " The battle of the Roses." Kathy
kept falling asleep so we will finish it tomorrow night.
Lights out: 11:54 pm
