Meadowbrook on Friday night - here to see Jim Gaffigan, one of our favorite comedians.
This is my great picture of Jim Gaffigan on stage.
Mouse and Chipmunk News
We've had mice in the basement occasionally for quite a few years, and we even had a chipmunk get into the house a few months ago (he met his untimely demise in one of the mouse traps). After talking with a pest control person about it, I put up some 1/4" wire mesh in some places where we suspected these critters were getting in.
Here is a mesh "curtain" that comes down under the fireplace and goes about 12" underground. There is a 4" section of mesh that extends out from the bottom of that curtain away from the house - that extra mesh stops them from just digging down and under the mesh.
In another area, I put strips of mesh in the corners where the mice can find small gaps to crawl in. I made friends with lots of bugs and spiders while doing this.
In the Garden
From right to left: chives, basil, and parsley.
We've already gotten some good tomatoes this year, and there are a lot more on the plant.
K's Latest Project
Here's the progress so far on K's latest electronics project - he has already completed one, and I am adding something to it. I'll post pictures when it's done.
