Random doodles.

I’ve been tooling around in the garden on and off. Time to post a few more pics I think.

New garden bed.
poop
$10 for wood.
$4 for horse poop. They sell horse poop on the side of the road.
$0 for some old cardboard, its to kill the grass.

I have some soil and other crap mixed in and I’m part way through building a frame, not pictured.

root
Carrots and onions.
I probably planted too many seeds, I’m still learning.

tomatoes
Tomatoes.
I planted these a bit early, and they have had bad luck with the dog (pre-fence) and a few frosts. Might be ok though.

pear
Pear tree is starting to blossom.

poo-tate-o-s
I’m also trying to grow potatoes in the row of planters. Not much action yet.
The dirt hill (from my path project) I’d decided will stay, might even put in a pond. Dunno. Oh and the Water tank project worked, its over half full now.

In other news.

* Sort of looking forward to Fiji, I’m pretty poor as crack-ho lost her job recently. Whatever though, it seems pretty cheap and I already have tickets.
* Muffy the dog is still a murdering retard. hobbies include eating cat shit and throwing up on the bed.
* Work is sort of unshitting itself again, looks like I’ll be getting two more free certificates.

* Ben. Freaking Ben. Is having a child.
Ben.
Child.

When I try and picture it, all I see is a black van with tinted windows rather than childbirth.

I tried to clean my stove last week, bench top, gas.
Its one of the ones where you turn the knob and it goes tick tick tick and lights itself.

I cleaned it up really nicely, it hadnt been done in awhile.
I pulled the I pulled the knobs off and cleaned under them carefully with a slightly damp cloth, I had to scrub a bit it get the dried stuff up.

I put the handles back on and admired my work..

Then I noticed the sound.

Exectricity.

I look around and realise its comming from under one of the knobs.

BANG.

Lights out. Carbon shoots out from under the knob.

I remove it and make sure its dry, no dig deal.
I even turn the gas on (lighter) and let the burners run for a bit to be sure.

I wander back outside.
Reset the fuse.

I go back inside.

BANG.

I try again to make sure its try. Burners, hair dryer, the whole bit.
I reset the Fus…BANG.

So I unplug it under the cabinet and leave it be for a week.

I then go under the cabinet and turn it back on.

BANG.
BANG.

The second bang was my head while flinching.

TLDR – Ruined my stove while cleaning. Sad.
