Speaking of loss of taste. I picked pears today. They look perfectly ripened, have the right firmness, smell ok, but are the most bitter mouth puckering sour thing I have ever tasted.

I would rather peel a lemon and eat it.

Oh man, that stinks! my pears this year (Early Gold Pears) were the sweetest pears i've ever grown! so tasty!

Agreed Ralphie with how dry it is here we need about 5 days of soaking rain, I agree! it has just been so dry the last few years. the last 2 years i've planted more fruit trees. that is very hard cause I have about 20 5 gallon buckets on my trees here. I lost a tree last year i planted 20 years ago due to the drought. several this year are stressed, leaves burned, dropping leaves, etc...

Spent the day assembling a electric fireplace / entertainment center for the cabin . Very time consuming . Almost done

 

[jerryse]

I put the TV on the entertainment center /fireplace . Lots of trouble with the antenna reception . One of those small RCA indoor types . Has always been touchy . So after much aggravation I determined the signal booster went bad . So I went to the hardware and bought a new RCA signal booster - a larger one . Works much better than then small one . So it seems the booster that comes with the antenna is not very good . I have another antenna that is touchy . I will replace that booster also . Maybe this information will help someone .

Unofficial end of summer . Now starts brrr or ber season . September , October , November , December . 42 degrees here this morning and 71 now . 54 in the cabin and DW had the fan on and all covered up . Gets up and wants heat . I had no fan on and was cold . So we warmed it up a bit . Built a campfire as I needed to get rid of some limbs .

I think Ralphie went somewhere with his female friend . His best friend . She has a big nose , big ears and big feet . Black wavy hair and looks like a lab after a haircut . She really is a dog .
