It's mostly just in here...but a little of it is floating around my home...and work too. My brain hurts.
I can't wait for vacation at the beach in August...I really need to get away.
Only 5 more weeks...

Fah-get about it...
If you screw it up, you can always get a new valence...
If you can mount it with like 4-6 screws, it wouldn't be so bad... Use some self-drilling self-tapping screws...
You don't even need the self-tappers. The air dam comes with pre-drilled holes and 1/4-20 capture nuts already installed.

Lots of planes taking off tonight right over the house. Sometimes good photography is about being in the right place at the right time. It's the day after the full moon and it's rising now as the planes are too. I really love my Sony DSC-100HX camera!
do you have to drill holes into the valance ....I am not sure I would want to drill into it after paying $269. for a new AMD valance
Drill baby, drill....
Back from shopping...
The Farm Stand is now open!!!! Yippie!!! <<doing a jig>>>
Of course I spent the money that I had brought for gas at the farm stand and had to get more out of the ATM....
I got a large box of slightly off color broccoli for $1 with a good 6 large crowns in it....
Some of today's score at the farm stand, all fresh picked:
Corn, it's already full sized... It usually isn't this big until August...
Here are 4 crowns of the broccoli that I got for $1 the next picture of it cut on the plate is the other 2 crowns that came with it...
Nice fresh zucchini...
Here's the regular broccoli that goes for $0.65 each crown... These two combined cost $1.70...
Tomaters...
Cucumbers...
Seedless what-a-melon...
Kale, $1.00 per bundle... These two cost $2.00 together and are big stalks...
Fresh garlic...
These guys kick Whole Food's ***....

Thanks...
You clicked while I was editing and putting captions on the pictures...
It's great to live in the midwest corn belt where we can get farm fresh produce from local farm stands... Not to mention supporting local farmers...
This stuff is grown 45 minutes south of here near Kankakee, IL... Picked the night before on the local stuff, some of it they get from outside until their crop matures... Like the peaches, plums, and apples... No apples yet, they are not in season, but they get theirs from local Michigan growers...

We get the same kind of thing here. NJ and PA growers. You name it, they grow it. The farm stands here are awesome like there!
I love the local farm stands around here... This one has been around for about 30 years... This one has a better variety than some of the others... Each stand has it's specialties...
Kinda sad, Orland Park used to have tons of farms when I was little... Farm fields near most of the neighborhoods... Now most of the farm land has been sold to developers and neighborhoods have popped up... There are only two active farm fields that I know of in Orland Park now...
However, the urban sprawl hasn't gotten to the other towns about a half hour south like Frankfort and Peatone, they still have lots of farms down there... That's where the farm produce is now grown locally...
The sweet corn is comin' on. We sometimes make a meal of it. (and maybe a bowl of cucumber salad.)
I have a Sony DSC-HX20V and a Sony DSC-H90...
Not bad pictures for the money...
I haven't figured out my Cannon yet...

Got my first zucchini from the garden tonight. Sliced and grilled alongside a couple burgers. Will have a lot of those and yellow squash over the next few weeks. Been cutting Kale for a month now. Also started pulling cucs off in the last week. Tomatoes soon...

I bet you guys get some corn over there... When we used to drive to Nebraska on I-80 dad used to say that Iowa was 5 hours of corn fields.... They have plenty of corn in Iowa...
Where I bought my truck in MN claimed to be the corn capital....
We're surrounded by corn....

I think our local stands are just starting to get their own corn out. I didn't grow any this year.I bet you guys get some corn over there... When we used to drive to Nebraska on I-80 dad used to say that Iowa was 5 hours of corn fields.... They have plenty of corn in Iowa...
