Tailgate; Headlights

Put a serious dent in the tailgate the other day and got a couple of repair estimates yesterday. Tailgate still works, but there are options if I want it replaced.

Ron did three loads of laundry and polished the headlights on the truck so that they look new. I ordered another kit for his van.

We did a transfer station run.

Loaded VS2019 community edition on the Dell.

Small shop at Job Lot.

Kale

Picked kale for two hours this morning at the farm.

Roasted cabbage with garlic and fennel – very good – and Japanese eggplant.

Ron got his email account squared away and now has a week of junk to wade through.

I voted, not too exciting: the big primary races are for the Democrats, Senate and (for the County) Cape Cod Commission.

Did not realize there is a labyrinth at the Quashnet school. Sometimes it pays to wander off the beaten path.

Got my blood pressure taken at doc’s: it was 126/something. Hard to believe.

Back to the farm for CSA.

Beans

Picked green beans, I think 28 quarts, for two hours at Pariah Dog yesterday afternoon. Got to see the little guy; what a doll!

Made baba ganoush and roasted vegetables with noodles yesterday.

I never received my mail-in ballot and was too late to vote yesterday, but did drop off Ron’s. Did a small grocery shop on the way back.

Picked up our balsamic vinegar at Uncle Bill’s.

Volume Control

Fix 1: Restart Explorer via Task Manager

The volume control icon may fail to respond intermittently for unknown reasons. The quickest way to resolve the issue is to restart the Explorer shell.

  1. Right-click on the Taskbar, and click Task Manager
  2. In Task Manager Processes tab, scroll down to Windows processes category.
  3. Right-click Windows Explorer in the list, and click Restart

    (For more information, check out the article How to Exit Explorer and Restart Explorer in Windows 10)

This restarts the explorer shell and refreshes the Start menu and taskbar (Shell experience host). See if the volume control button works now.

Greens

I steamed and sauteed carrot and other greens from the farm; addictive

Interviewed yesterday, business is “drug free”, including legal weed. Dropped off an application today for kitchen work down the street.

Been following the PBS commentary on the RNC. Currently watching an RVAT webcast.

Bye Bye FB Groups; Started Early

I ditched four local FB groups.

Yesterday I trimmed and loaded the truck with the remainder of Ron’s “hewing and hacking” and brought the good oak to Emma’s and the pine to the transfer station.

We did the usual: laundry (Ron) and changing sheets.

Was up early this morning and got the cooking done before 8:30: veg loaf and tofu crumbles.

Sent a letter to the Mashpee Enterprise editor about the thin blue line flags on the firetrucks, etc.

Used up last week’s kale, which was in surprisingly good shape, for a heavy soup: onion, garlic, green pepper, tomatoes, couple of red potatoes, celery, summer squash and the tofu crumbles.

Spoke with WeedMan about a possible discount.

We watched “Matewon” last night. Good film!

Woodpeople; Rain

I loaded up the truck yesterday with oak wood and leaves for Emma’s sheep.

She treated us to iced Bengal Spice tea, hummus and chips.

We recycled the old dehumidifier at KAM in Hyannis for a $30 rebate.

We were home for a late afternoon brief but intense rain storm.

Martha Pond

Yesterday, we walked to Southport from the high school and enjoyed the nature trail around Martha Pond.

I did a phone appointment with my doc at 9, then washed the truck. I mowed front and back in the afternoon. Ordered Misfits for next week. Ron drove Robert home.
