This was a Netflix limited series about the early American West, including Mormons, Native Americans, and those sorts of things. I mostly enjoyed the series, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending.
My rating: 3.5/5

My mom wanted to go to the olive oil store in Ligonier and invited me to go along with her and my dad. We went to The Kitchen on Main for lunch, and it was really good! We also went to a few other stores, and they were pretty cool. I’ve never checked out any of that stuff before. I’ve been going to Ligonier for a few years for Golden Retriever day, but I can’t take the dog in stores, and I’m never there any other time, other than to drive through on my way to Greensburg, so here we are.
it’s always something
The weather has been so nice, and I thought I was getting ahead of my outside tasks. It seems like we haven’t had nice weather in March/April for a long time. I had the pond up and running. I got a tiller this year, and I have half of the garden tilled and am almost ready to do the rest. I’ve planted peas and will plant onions after the tilling is done. I put the brush out for pick-up.
That said, I found a major issue with the pond this weekend. When I got the pond running a few weeks ago, I noticed a pile of dirt inside the pond where the waterfall is. Also, the waterfall was full of dirt. I figured some critter dug a hole over the winter. I cleaned everything up, and it wasn’t a huge deal. However, after turning the pond pump on, I noticed that the water level was dropping faster than usual. I took a closer look at the area around the waterfall and saw that the rocks were sinking. Apparently, whatever critter burrowed in that area went under the rocks, and they collapsed (hopefully they didn’t collapse on the critter). The rocks in that area are about 4″ lower than they should be.
I started taking the waterfall apart, but some of the rocks are really heavy. Brian offered his rock hauling services, and I’m going to take him up on that offer. But it’s not as simple as filling in the holes. I will need to fill in with rocks because if I use dirt, it will compress over time and sink again. Also, I’m going to need to use hardware cloth to prevent this from happening again in the future. But the first step is to undo the waterfall area and see what I’m dealing with. There’s a separate pond liner for the waterfall. I don’t know if there’s a hole in it or if it shifted and is causing the leak. As long as the issue is with that liner and not the main pond’s liner, it shouldn’t be difficult to fix. Since the pond wasn’t leaking until I turned on the pump, hopefully that’s the case. But, this is turning into a project. One that I had not anticipated.

I had high hopes for this show, but I found it rather meh. I thought for sure the combo of Jason Bateman, Linda Cardellini, and David Harbour would be awesome, but I was wrong. The murder mystery part of the show was interesting, but everything else, not so much. When will I learn not to watch dark comedies? In theory, they should be good, but I never seem to like them.
My rating: 3/5

This was a 4-episode reboot centered around the 40th anniversary of Hal and Lois. It had some pretty funny moments. If you were a fan of the original show, you’d definitely like it!
