Feel like crap

I did get out and get the bike tire aired up and the bike started and runs fine!

The car is still having some issue with changing gears. Better than before but still stubborn. Not sure what is going on. I suspect a vacuum problem which I have not yet been able to track down. I'll keep trying. 

Ran to the store for a few things and to test drive the car.

Aside from that, I lost energy. Feel like garbage. Not sure what is going on except allergies. 

Still going to talk myself into getting a few more things done. Not nearly as much as I had hoped but something. Need to check the tomato plants. No doubt have to do more tying. Mostly want to check for ripe tomatoes, though. 

8 PM-

Took the dog for a walk. Got some clutter out to the garbage. 

Checked tomatoes and spent quite some time tying branches up for more support. They're getting heavy! Lots more tomatoes hanging and the oldest ones are getting really large! I have a couple (I really mean a couple, only two) which are ripening now but still kind of orange, not yet red. Walking through the tomato patch is like walking through a small jungle now and it's all tomato plants. One plant is getting so heavy to one side it's pulling the stake over. I'll have to add another stake on the opposite side for more support. 

There are one or two tomato hornworms munching on the plants. I'm not going to bother it. It's stripped a few branches and eaten into 2-3 tomatoes but no more damage than that. It won't be long before it changes to a moth and the moths are pretty. I have plenty to share. I would be spraying insecticidal soap if it was an outright invasion but it's not. 

I still need to polish the gauges and taillights on the bike which are clouded up. I've read you can do that with a rotary power tool and toothpaste, so I'll try that before going for anything more expensive. If it works, I'll do the same with the car headlights.
