So Coffee and hopefully go troubleshoot in the rain, if thats what it take to make it rain, I am up for it.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Heading up to the lumber yard soon. I'm two 16' redwood boards short from finishing the back deck. It'll be nice getting this project finished. Next project is the fire pit and the bbq pit area. I probably won't have it completely finished before winter, but at least the fire pit will be usable.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Dang double posts.

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

Taking a break from food prep and renos and going fishing before everything burns down around my ears.

 

[Ekatarina]

George phoned me to tell me he will try to repair
my crappy lawnmower
I told him: *We will see your talents*

I was deeply thinking good luck with that crappy mower

 

[Mountain trapper]

It must be getting close to Fall. I got my first trapping supply catalog in the mail yesterday. Yes, a real catalog, made out of real paper. One that you can actually hold in your hand and turn pages on. I'll get them to send a catalog up to the grandkids too so they and get their order figured out too.

Headed south just passing Utica

 

[snappy1]

I like quail.

Did you mean their cute little faces or with rice and gravy? I like both.

Bo and I already walked.
Went to local grocery and got chicken thighs for .99 a pound to grill tomorrow or Monday.
Need to do some ebay photos of vintage leaflets I was given by a retired cake decorator.
Might make and can 3 bean salad, might not get to it.
Trying to take it a little easy. 4 hours 45 minutes sleep. Hope to do better tonight.

 

[old tex]

I've finished 2 very minor projects this morning. I've run to the post office, dollar store & picked up some stuff at Walmart. I also killed a bunch of weeds. That's the total amount of stuff I plan on doing today. The rest of the day is going to be with my feet up, doing nothing!

 

[MoBookworm1957]

WOW!! Happy for you!!

Thank you Pearl.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Time for a "The Man" thread?

Congrats on finding some joy. Sorry he isn't military.

The ones who burnt me badly were military.
One left me at the alter several years ago.
One was military and cheated after we got married.
One military man like to beat on women, children cause then he was showing them who wore the pants in the family.
He found out the hard way he didn't wear the pants in our family.
I divorced his happy a**, got custody of our sons.
So yeah I have trust issues.

Well that sucks. But I would submit that there are pricks in every male demographic, military or otherwise. A lot of my former battle buddies are happily married and living the American dream. I would definitely recommend you avoid Air Force officers, not that they are interest in women anyway.

They were Army(ex husband), Marine( left at alter), Air Force was the other.
And the one introduced us was ex brother in law-Navy.
He worked with him at Intel.

Little granddaughter is still mucking through the chicken coop, she was dragging her feet this morning, and now is stuck in the heat with it to finish. We wore out the pup...he was doing morning chores with us, and I was flooding the tomato bushes...he sat and rolled in the mud. He did get in trouble for chasing guineas, I don't want him to take down birds. That heeler is so focused, even at five months old, it's hard to get his attention sometimes. But I did finally, and he comes back...slinking and wiggly, knowing I was ticked at him and he did wrong.
New baby keets are in the milkhouse and did well overnight. Finished up their feed last night, and I'll check on them again soon. Two baby turkeys are very ready to get moved out of the family room and into the milkhouse with the rabbits. I love it when the milkhouse rooms are filled with babies. It's a good time of year.
So Walmart has my prescription cream ready, so I'll drive the half hr to pick it up and maybe get a few things while I'm there.
Just got notified that pups favorite toy is on one of the porches. We ordered two "banana dogs" for him. He ate the dog head off of the one he had, ate half the banana body, the squeaker is out. It's him favorite toy ever. So now he's got two more.

Got back from Sam's Club, got everything put away ! We did scan and go for the first time. Loved it! Scan each item with your phone as you put it in the cart, check out on your phone, no check out aisle, the gal at the door scans a QR code on your phone and out you go!! Faster! I'm pooped out ow, heading for nap land!!

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Off to clean the kitchen after my special someone cooked this morning.
I think he pretty much used just about every pan in the kitchen.
Then it will be nap time for us.
Later gators.

It’s a good thing I’m sitting down- I actually laughed out loud

I meant their cute little selves. I have eaten them too but not much meat on them so prefer bigger birds for eating.

This morning, 3 bucks passed between us and the neighbors: a forky, a 3x3 and the big boy 4x4

 

[Peepaw from Tex]

Zero turn in the shop pushed mowed am acre,, the rest can get head high about another 2 acres. We have had so much rain needs to be mowed about every 4 days. Usually brown and crunchy by now and I don't have to mow but about every 3 weeks. The good old days. Push mower is a 80 volt Atlas and does excellent, would not have thought a battery powered would be so good. I have had it for 3 years.

HUH?

 

[Pearl]

HUH?

Maybe she'll let us in on the joke?? Or maybe she's having one of them spells again??

 

[Tommyice]

You know that scene in every time travel movie where the traveler gets used to and actually loving the time they got sucked into then bam! They’re back in their own time, screaming Noooooo. Yup, I’m back in NJ and that screamer is me.

 

[OldSchool]

Right now just hanging out in the garage, in my peaceful neighborhood. But, gotta get the garage, tools, shelves and work benches in order for my F350 project.

 

[Amish Heart]

Tommyice....I would do the same thing when we bought our farm years ago, but lived 10 hrs away. Couldn't convince husband to come up more than three times a year, and only for a few days at a time. I hated to leave. It's been so nice to live here, now. You'll get there, not too much longer.

 

[Hooch]

Took the pups tomy friends pond n checked on their critters.

Gased up Subie, got afew supplies , made dog food n now debating on what to do next.

I'm still trying to shake this cold, smoke is so thick outside it isn't making it easy to breath over chest goo..so I'm not super motivated..

Thanks Amish. It gets harder every time. Especially because my brother, sister in law and her uncle are there. I hate leaving them.

 

[Amish Heart]

It was sooo hard for me, and I was the only one wanting to move. Husband kept putting off retirement. Using daughter's pharmD expenses as an excuse. She was at the university 3 yrs, then decided to do the pharmD program, so a total of 7 years. He prefers cities, says they're more diverse. He tolerates it here, this is my happy place. I do think it's better for him, he gets out in nature so much more, and there's not the crazy violence here, and everyone is pretty nice. I think he just misses working. I don't. I find things to do all the time. We are always upgrading and remodeling, though. Still waiting for the handyman guy to have time for us. We have a very long list. He is good, though, so worth the wait.

 

[Bacpacker]

Worked, picked up my other set of headlight bulbs. Low beams now are almost as bright as the old high beams. Got home and grabbed the wife and took off to a good little produce market. Got a few goodies and a bushel of tomatos. Shes wanting to can and our just aren't making much. Ill go grab another box when those are canned. Had to pick up some scripts for her, then to one of our favorite restaurants for supper.
Back home now sitting on the porch sipping some brandy and smoking a fine cigar

 

[LadyLocust]

HUH?

To @elkhound and @Pearl harassing me. All good humor.
