LOL, because I hate getting covered in gas, and don't want to pull a Jay Leno

But this is sitting on my shelf and all I have to do is clean it up.

Start driving it. Burn that fuel load down and drop the tank. YJKIMS

The Jeep has sat parked and lonely for the last week. Such is what happens during final exam grading season…

Looking forward to replacing a rusted gas tank skid plate next week with one from ASFIR.
Finals mean field work is just a short time away.

Had a bunch of lazy gimme-gimme snowflakes this term, so set up a the botany practical to end all botany practicals as revenge. Had specimens in it from my private collection of the weird and obscure.

The wailing and gnashing of teeth sustains me.

I loaded it with 4 50lb bags of composted manure. Bent at the assembly joints in the lower frame. So yeah, it was bullsh*t. ;)
Now I’m wondering if I should move my crossbars a bit closer together.

Been hauling lots of stuff. Bert is in adventure mode with a full standard load out. Been out off the grid around three days out of four during the week hunting strange aquatic worms. On the weekends, been hauling stuf to build the raised bed garden and enclosure to keep the squirrels out.

Also adopted another rescue pug a while back: She's been supervising.

@Johnny O, that's an amazing garden / squirrel exclosure. Nice work! Those squirrels ate all my cherry tomatoes until I put a steel cage around my raised beds too. Been good now for the last couple of years, almost more than I can eat! (tomatoes, not squirrels ;))

Lost most everything to squirrels last year. Automated irrigation with soaker lines so don't have to worry about upkeep too much while travelling.

Come to think of it, Bert has been hauling stuff for remodeling and landscaping for months.

Squirrel cage (made of galvanized steel “hardware cloth”) around seven foot tall tomato plants a year ago!

We don’t have a ton of yard space in Philly so I made raised beds to make the most of what we have. Those are cucumbers in the pot by the railing and a bunch of different herbs across the front box.

Enemy at the gate.

The little varmints focus almost entirely on tomatoes when they can get them, but leave the herbs alone. Note all the orange tomato skin fragments on the ground. They love the middles and leave the tomato skins!

That’s a sick hunk of basil, you’ve got there. We’re just getting into the growing season in northern MN. I’m thankful I live in an area where I can shoot the pests if necessary. We were lucky last year, though.

I’ll be picking up a pile of garden fencing on Friday. We just about doubled our garden size this weekend. Hopefully I can fit it all in the jeep with our week’s groceries.
