Good day all 5/22/26 Friday

Early spring is Plumaria topping time around here. We did what we feared was a brutal job this year but, lo and behold . . .

We topped the main fire pit area bush hard and planted the off cuts in pots. They are exploding. The secret to these things is well draining soil and MINIMAL watering.

You've seen my driveway - 140 feet long with a 25 X 75 parking area at the end. I have it sealed every other year by a local SealCoat® dealer. He's charged me $350 the last two times.
I know everything costs more on Long Island, but $1200 for a residential driveway is ridiculous!

And that's why I told the contractor no way
Whatever prices are anywhere in USA doesn't apply to long island
A reason I did it myself since 1989
Guy didn't get back to me but he might not be around as it's a holiday weekend
 
Our grandson placed Gold along side his dad at the World Kettle Bell Lifting Championship this weekend in Syracuse, NY.

We had some quality creek time this weekend. The water was clear and the spot we were jumping into was about 8' deep. Most of the creek is about 1 -2' deep overall, but there are a few good swim spots.

I need to process some video from my underwater camera and see if I got any good videos of the wildlife activity in the creek.

This guy gave price of 550
He did our friends so I know he's good

I think the contractor saw 2 Mercedes Benz in driveway and decided to throw tar against it to see if it would stick
I can live with 550
 
Yeah coulda seen how us poor city folk live you'd be shell shocked seeing a property 45 feet by 105 feet your home herb garden is prolly bigger then that
And I would have taken you out for real Italian food New York pizza and a New York bagel
