website Garysullivan Online dot com, Ladies and gentlemen, the one,
the only, mister Gary Sulimon. Good morning, mister Wilson. Mister Sullivan,
how are you tolerting the heat?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Doing just fine?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
What's the air conditioner? Said on it to Sullivan is
STAD seventy five? Seventy five? Wow?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Is that high or low?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
We got ours a little bit lower than that. Oh yeah,
I must be getting older.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I'll tell you what I thought.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
You were supposed to be able to handle the heat
when you got older. I don't know how does that work?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
But when you're older, they tell me, I don't have any.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I don't have any idea. I just don't well, there's
been a couple of hot days. I think it depends
what time of the day.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Of course, you don't hit the pool anymore, do you.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
No, not too much thought about it this week, but
upright and early and getting a lot of stuff done
in the morning really before it heats up. We've had
some beautiful evenings and some beautiful mornings.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yep. Been the evening evening outside work at the Wilson household.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah yeah, pullo shades. Get a good book between two
and four.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Crank back. Well, you know, my problem is I do
enjoy reading. I've gotten better as I've gotten older. My
promise staying awake, Well that's all. Everybody's get into about
three pages. Next thing I know, I'm in the hazy
days some forty five minutes later.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, that's the way it works. But you're well rested.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Uh yeah, oh absolutely.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So. How's the vegetable gardens going this year? That's kinda
been a yo yo.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I talked to h Yeah, they've been. I talked to
Terry Diefenbaker and you, I don't know if you know
Terry Knight, Yeah yeah, yeah, and he's you know, big
tomato grower, his grandfather, I mean the whole family's been
doing it for years. And I stopped at his place
and he said that he kind of laughed, and he said,
this is the latest ever that I can ever remember
(02:19):
from a kid of not having ripe tomatoes yet.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And he planted. He told me, I think May the
fourth or something like that, and he said, we've never
been this late having the tomatoes. So they're coming on,
you know slow. My mom's or tips, she's usually typically
got some of the early producers by now, and she's
just barely getting a few. Talking with the giant pumpkin
grower Jerry Rose and again the weather ups and downs
(02:46):
and that got him a little bit late, but he
finally he's got him going. And I didn't. I don't.
I'll text you the picture. But he showed me a
picture this week of one of his pumpkins. It's three
weeks old and it weighs a little undred three hundred pounds.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
When I saw that, he said, well, that's about three
weeks old. Is that you got to be kidding me?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Wow? So steroids, maybe that's something you should get into
pumpkin growing, the giant pumpkin growing. Yeah, I don't think
so all right, just try to throw it out there. Yeah, missus,
you get into it, what Danny, missus Sullivan and you
get into it.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I can see the two of you
doing that.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
All right, here's my home and proven question for today.
It has to do a staining.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Oh no, gush, you clean it.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
This is no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're patting.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I got excited.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
This is a wooden tray that my wife bought that
you open up, it's got it's about fifteen inches in diameter.
It's got a little lip around the outside. You open
up the wooden legs or on hinges, and you set
it on your hand the arm of your chair and
use it like a tray and then take it off
okay while you're napping, while you're napping, and hope you
don't wake up and knock it off and spill your
(03:57):
coke everywhere. Yeah, and it's a plain it's not stained,
all right, snatural wood. And she went to stain it
the other day. She went and bought one of the
I think it was an oil base stain minwag, one
of the men wax varieties. But anyway to go and
it just doesn't penetrate. It's like it's all over the board.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
That was the first thing I was going to ask you,
is you know what kind of good it is?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No, and I need to take a look at it.
But it just did not do it. I mean it's
just dark and white and light and it's.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So it has right, Yeah, the wood has different pro seasons.
Is it one solid piece of wood or is it No?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I think it's piece together.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. And you know the
interesting thing about wood stain versus paint, right, of course,
pain is a coating. You know, you go, you pick
out a color and you put it on the surface,
and that's the color you get. With stain, you're going
to get what the wood is walnut wood stain in
one brand and put it on twelve different species of woods,
(04:56):
and it'll look like twelve totally different colors. Yeah, and
if it's pieced together, that's probably what you're getting. You
can you can do something about that. You can put
a a conditioner on that wood which will even out
the porosity. Okay, so it would be like it's called
stained conditioner or wood conditioner. You can make your own.
(05:18):
It's fifty percent uh, denatured alcohol and fifty percent shall act.
And you'll put that on and you know, the real
softer porse woods like pine will absorb more than an
oak wood. You'll kind of even that out to a degree.
But that might be something.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Right now, what's what she has already put on there?
It didn't work, right, We've got to stand that off, right, Yeah,
that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Okay, you know you can't really tell the differences in
the wood. I mean, it looks pretty much the same
color as you look at it, and I don't see
any grains that really stand out, you know, like major right,
but yeah, it just and I you know, she was
doing a project by herself. I didn't really pay any attention.
I would have known anyway, but uh, and she just said,
I just can't it's not sticking on this, like it's
(06:07):
just running off and dark hair and light there and
not good.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, and you never know, there could be some sealer
in that wood.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Well that was my other thing that they may have
pre sealed. That could be It didn't look like it,
but it could have been pre sealed, which them standing
it would help.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, I mean another thing we don't know. Is sometimes
depending on how old it is, they would actually use
natural wood and wax it. Oh, and of course that's
going to resist any penetrating oil sealer too, right, And
you can you can get some of that out, but
it's truly hard to get all of it out because
as you say, and you create heat, he creates melt.
(06:46):
Melt contributes to the p.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And I throw it away.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah. There's also some real heavy bodied stains, kind of
like the gel stains, which can hide a lot of
that too. It's it's not quite a coding, but it's
not really like an oil penetrating stain either. You want
to come over about for today? Sure, okay, sure, appreciate it.
Bring your train. You're a recliner with you again.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
What are you gonna talk about today?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh my gosh, I got a whole list summer projects
and we're gonna be outside and you.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Won't but you're gonna talk about.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I'm gonna get you motivate. We're gonna do some work outside.
