' boro is in the throes of pleasant conditions. Sunny, mostly dry and fair winds. 

Again. Apparently, a Amazon binge is happening. A birthday gift  [does that count ], a new comfort throw for the living room, and two fans [ desk type and rechargeable ]

Alrighty. This is week 2 of grow the grass. I chose a drought resistant sun tolerant mix of tall fescue and rye. The site was a shambles of thatch and bare ground. The previous seeding did work but was devastated by blasting sun and little water.
Now, you are supposed to rake and smooth etc. My motto ' its grass '
i.e. it will grow. die.  grow. 
As advised on purchase, this blend will need some longer than others. Yes. However, we are gaining ground [ losing ground really, b / c its now grassed ]
So, when your life comes down to growing grass. OMG

Overall, to survive in this house, you better be tough or resilient.

alright. alright. a little patriotic. and when you have no originality !

you get what you get

OK. went fishing over the Sunday - Monday hrs. Actually, anticipation was a bit low. the bass boat jammed a few times the previous weekend. the boys came loaded w / concrete pads and bases [ in case ]. 
Well, F .. jumped in and eyeballed a new levelling for the stone supports. Gave it a go and w / a little reluctance. Success.

And more success. the morning launch on Moday, required a little ' English ' F .. rocked the boat when it got stuck. And down she went smoothly.
Obviously, a new technique and not exactly, proscribed anywhere. Well, what works - works

As in the past few trips, where to start was an immediate quandary. When you are having low success, a good start seems even more important.
Going back to the well. Over the last bit, a section called Jubilee Channel [ very deep and wood lined ] seemed to have a few fish.
We moved to the South side and gave it a go. What a Go ! Three largemouth bass in fifteen minutes plus many panfish. Later we move Westward and found panfish galore and some bass.

Something about ' success is counted sweetest
                              by those who ne'er succeed ..... ' or struggle a bit.

the ' boro. clear and sunny headed for 65 F. yes, fall is here

a harbinger of the season. we are cool today touching 65 F. maybe the difference is b / c we still remember 15 days ago and temperatures that touched 80 and humidity

the markers. The CNE is done. Schools are open. grass is greening
seeds are not growing.
to be fair. the mix that I used is not a standard blend. the grasses are drought and sun tolerant.

 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦🇨🇦 again, encore 

' boro is dull and cloud covered, no rain except for a 10 % chance all day
So, good grass growing weather ? We shall see said the Zen Master

a fishing trip is in the works BUT this also entails trying to get the boat down the railway
recall, the system gave us some attitude. two guys pulling as we tired to put baby in the barn

🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 of September

 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 the string continued

followup for yesterday which was buckets of rain. to green the lawns.
highlight was that we got the house ducts cleaned. the head tech guy said that we need a little more frequent cleaning [ as in 10 yrs is a little long between go s ]
A reasonable price as well. Very clean and efficient process.

Good !

' boro is getting the fall downpour as buckets fall on the recovering lawns. AND washing away the newly seeded patch as well. Todays adventure is ' duck ' cleaning by  a friend of a friend kinda thing

Apparently ,frequent duct cleaning is adviced and its only been 18since the last one

Septembrinus III

 And how do you do? It's the third day of September. Sunny. grass project - sort of looking possibly it's growing.  really hard to tell but I'm watering faithfully. What else can you do but be faithful

🇨🇦 🇨🇦 two flags

 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 better than one

' boro outlook. sunny w / cloud cover. a balmy ish 72 F for a high

major chores are grass watering and return of an Amazon mis - buy. The ladies watch suite my wrist more than M .. s And I don't wear a watch. 

🇨🇦 .Sept 1 and more to go

 🇨🇦 officially, Labour Day in Cda
unofficially, the end of summer [ i.e. holiday time ] it shifts, it moves it bobs
in truth, this long weekend is the least busy of the summer lot
too much happening

I believe that I've expressed the thought of ' who reads this blog ' or who doesn't

Thus, the marine railway system gave us a lot of stick, literally, it got stuck more than once.
the term is organic or it shifts, it moves, it bobs 
then hopefully, the whole shebang finds an equilibrium point and works

we shall see said the Zen Master

" watching the grass go " in this summer the grass was murdered by the hat and lack of rain. I can see that the well established lawns are greening up, now. However, my boulevard grass was defeated. I purchased some ' drought resistant ' and sun loving grass blend. Tall fescue and other hardier seed 

But to kick start the re - growing, the boulevard will need watering regularly. Rain is forecast come Thursday or so, however til then I' water faithfully
