Misplaced parts

Went to go plow the garden this evening. Forgot I had removed the mount for the plow from the tiller. Couldn't find it right away. Finally found it a few minutes ago. Have to plow tomorrow or later in the week.

Came down with a sinus infection and not feeling all that energetic to work on the car. I inhale a lot more dust and dirt sitting/laying on the ground when wind is blowing than when I'm tilling.

Went ahead and tilled more of the north garden, to get ready for tomato planting. Keeping some empty trenches for plowing and weed control this year. 

The soil in the south garden is more loose than ever before, even after being watered. Until now, it would get pretty solid after watering because of all the clay. Looks like the gypsum is helping. Finally. I think this form of gypsum is better than what I was using before. The old kind was mixed with bentonite. In other words, it was adding clay to the clay. This kind is straight mined gypsum. 

Picked up a new bottle of sulfuric acid this evening. The price about doubled from last year. Think I'll have to check at a few other places. See if the battery shop across the street sells new or only recycled acid. They may sell gallons. Otherwise, check with OReilly auto parts.
