I love your take on the local wildlife invading your space and how you and your pups deal with them!

Well folks you ask for it & I'm gona let er rip.
Seems most every thing has the spring dole drums. Even the birds only half halfheartedly eat their seeds.
Everyday I try to accomplish something. Usually does not amount to much.
Yesterday was carry in dog seeds.
Today change propane tank. With Bony's help. :laughing:
For breakfast today was 1/2 a watermelon & 1/2 a beer. Getting healthy slowly.
The rest of this is "The Real truth - + or - a few lies.
Didn't amount too much. About 4 hours a day for 1 or 2 weeks.
Part of it was shooting at a target. I hit almost every thing except the target.
Looking down the gun barrel it was fouled with black powder residue. At that time I didn't know that warm soapy water took it right out.
Been trying to figure out when I really started going down hill. Looking at old pictures, the newest was 3 years ago. Was not in great shape then but worked every day.
Built things, wood stoves, roller & sheep's foot, Worked on old Dodge North gate & yellow gate. + Plus a lot more.
Never was really strong, just strong enough to do what I needed to do.
Had a 95 Harley dresser, the front end geometry was not quite right. Was use to a Heritage & you could stop for a while without putting your fed down.
At a stop sign 1 day it fell over. I was so mad ( it weighed about 1,100 # ) I stood the sucker up without help.
More later - Remember there is some truth in there somewhere,:laughing:

First an up date on the critters.
Buzzard came & sat on tractor rop-s.ts looking at the snake, I'm hoping it takes the snake & goes away. Then I worry it going to poop, it must be horrible, big messy & stinky turds. Didn't take the snake, came back 2 more times, just flew low & went on. Twice again this AM.
Bird seed can, went to feed birds, 4 doves & little bird flew out. there was a dead dove in there, broke its neck hitting can or died of old age???
First time I ever saw a quail drinking. It went to water dish had a few little sips & went on.
A dove took a bird bath, well sort of. Stood on rim, flapped its wings in the water then flew off.
4 Young quail came in today all by them selves. Very unusual to see them that young with out parents.
Over by the propane tank rats or mice were chewing on some old lumber.
Near by is is either a small rat or really big mouse. Its dead.
Some one said I should feed better dog food. The mutts eat better than I do. I have killed the last 3 roasts & 2 sets of ribs. Guess who got them???
Riley is sneaky stole a 1/2 of a big cheddar cheez, I forgot to put in fridge.
She knows that you don't mess with Bobby when she has a treat. Dog she not so sure about. Bobby had some ribs, & I gave dog the pan. She got there late. Sort of snuck up on Dog, when he listed his head she grabbed the pan & down the stairs she went.
/some old pictures of far away places & a long time ago.

Me racing< I think near Miramar Air station. Think this is the race some guy Delbertly run me off the track. When race was over I followed him to his pit & took a swing at him from the ground up. He jumped back & I missed by a mile. But he feel over & didn't move. Some folks in the area that may have know him began cheering.

Me & girlfriend at my gas station, probably the only picture of it. Hog card & a safety course. It was fun. A necklace that I designed & made. Entered into county fair, got some king ribbon, I think second place???
I have no idea who took the pictures or when they were taken & how the even got here. Was looking for something & found them on a shelf.
More later if interested

Some useless rambling-
First some more on critters. Riley, went to drink & put both front feet in pan. Why ???
Quail landed on center rail of the shade frame & checked out the dove nest.
Was feeding the birds & saw a white thing with a round black hole in it. Ir was a complete empty egg shell. Hole looked too small, but nothing inside.
Ken
Heard that Marvin's 2 sons are moving to Arkansas. Should people named Smith move close by, best to not get involved with them.
Some pictures & BS. :laughing:
- 
- 
-
Jewelry pictures. I was told early on don't worry about winning, as a jeweler "Nancy" can't be beat.
Later on when I started doing gold & diamonds & started winning, they were shocked.
Even got a cup for best in show once.
- 
Some more Eleonore pictures.
- 
Last race That I rode in. Blew a Base gasket & never fixed bike.
-
Couple more Eleonore pictures.
Pool game roster
I sure wish TBN would not change the name on pictures. Much easier to fit description

More really impotent rambling. Must be something important going on but it escapes my feeble brain.
Yesterday was spider day. Not the crawly kind. But the swamp box type. Now this little job should be done in less than 1/2 hour. Nope well over an hour & it was a lot more fun than I really wanted to have. First little problem find the new spider. Bout 1/2 hour for that & things went down hill from there. Move old chair over to cooler so I can reach the screw on top. Chair too close, can't remove pad. Move chair back, ah it should go smooth now. Not exactly, screw not a slotted or Phillips head, tiny nut on it. Had a pair of pliers that a little slow but it worked. Check length of old tubes, mark & cut off. oops about an inch too short. Ok got an old new spider laying here. take an arm out of it, Measure again, cut all the tubes, now bout 1/2" too long. Not to worry it will still work. Stick it back in to see how it is going to work. Small problem, water inlet pointing wrong direction. Get that cured, fight those hooked tubes back in, they catch on most every thing, including my belt. Got er done, put pad back on go in house to light the cooler. Wait 1 more little problem, did not connect hose from pump to spider. Take pad off again, hook up hose. Now it actually is cooling big time. 30 Degrees below out side temp.
Another job well done by yours truly.
Back was pretty much on good behavior, not feet & legs, time me done they burn & ache. Have a beer :thumbsup: take off shoes outside & let body settle down.
Bobby no help at all, just can't depend on that girl at all.
More later after brain ( whats left of it ) rests.
