^^ Ouch! I hate wasps and hornets.

Having to repair an underground water pipe for the landscape and finding exactly where the leak was located. The pipe had to leak in the worst place “under the pavers” of the walkway. These crazy little cement squares of different sizes and shapes were all placed and interlocked to tightly when installed, and now the pipe that crossed under the path had to start leaking water. It’s not easy or fun to remove the cement pavers to find exactly where the problem was.

Tomorrow I’ll fix the pipe now that it’s located and I know what parts I’ll need, but I’m not looking forward to replacing those bricks and getting them leveled out and locked into place again.

My volunteer work in the neighborhood with painting over graffiti seems to be a never ending job. Over the weekend several block privacy walls and utility light poles got tagged with spray cans. I’ll be spending several hours now painting over their artwork,,,, yeah like it’s some kind of art.

Yup. Graffiti is always going on here in the local business neighborhoods, too. If it's not some young guys wanting to "leave their mark", it's others. Paint, paint, paint.

Thanks for the work that you do cleaning up that stuff. Gosh! I cannot STAND graffiti. Nothing "art-worthy" about it at all!

My religious family members...........UGH.

They think only God has control over your life and We as fragile humans have no control over our lives. None whatsoever. Damn, they work my nerves.

Every painful life experience, to them, is a "sign" from god.

Lots of yard cleanup work after the thunder storm, hail, and rain of the other day passed through the valley.

^^ Try spraying some "febreze" directly onto the area and see if that helps.

Try Nature's Own. You can get it from the large pet chain stores. It really does a great job on organic stains and smells. I use it all the time.
