The Paulonia wood is very light and makes excellent kindling for fire starting. The trees have a tendency to die-off after 10 or 12 years but are easily propagated and are very fast growing.
Good morning!!!!

My condolences. Owners who cannot control their dogs should not be allowed to have them.

Are you using the unlimited $20 a month AT&T Mobley. (with ac adapter)
I'm thinking about getting it to replace my $70mo. local internet provider.

Good morning all. The weekend is looking good. Our son has arrived to get some country air and has persuaded his mom to make an apple pie today while he helps me dig in a gatepost.
I seem to have got a day out of sync on these posts, but catching up now. Those electric zapper rackets are brilliant for dealing with wasps that come in the house with firewood. They have an invertor inside that runs just above human hearing frequency, although our dog Max plainly hears it, he howls as soon as the button is pressed. It either hurts his hears, or he is lamenting the immanent death of an innocent wasp who's only crime has been to go to sleep in the wrong place.
Here's a thought. If wasps learned not to sting humans, there could be many more of them around, although they would perhaps also need to change their yellow stripes to purple or something to make us aware of their reformed characters. Darwin would no doubt have said they may indeed still evolve that way if they reckon humans are going to be around long enough to make it worth their while. Can you imagine generations to come, encouraging wasps to visit the house by feeding then, like many do now with hummingbirds ?
Drew, looks like you had a good trip. Lots of people on that pier, were most of them fishing ? In my younger days I went somewhere very similar and spent most of the day trying not to get caught by other peoples hooks !

No Don, hadn't seen that. Looks to be a great deal. AT&T wasn't my 1st choice given I don't get a great signal. I do get a good signal on my roof. I'm using a MOFI 4500 modem/router with 2 external antenna mounted 6-7ft above my roof. Got thru 4gantennashop.com. My original try was TMobile, but for some reason, didn't work although it reported a strong signal. Wonder if there is a way to increase signal strength for the Mobley? Might be a good solution for my Cottage.
I'll be researching how I might be able to add the MOFI to my plan if more reasonable than separate.

49 going to 79, maybe some rain tonight, we could use it.
Eric, sorry for your terrible day yesterday. It is clear how fond you are of the sheep and how good a steward you are.
Got some more good seat time yesterday. My wife has a flower garden beside the house that she wanted to move, since we are planning a patio/deck/grilling/firepit/or whatever it turns out to be in that area. After digging by hand many of the gaillardia and the "purple" flowers and replanting, I used the FEL to scoop out 6 foot rows of cannas, iris, day lily, beebalm, and others and moved them into scooped out trenches I had dug in the new flower bed area. It was nice to hear my wife say how well that worked and how it saved her many days of hand digging and planting.

60 going to 78 in afternoon showers. Nice to sleep in my own bed last night.
All of the metal cages I had put around my nut trees had blown over in the high winds, so I ordered hold downs which came in while I was away. That's what I'll be doing this morning, putting those deer cages back on and this time with holdowns on each side. Then....I have quite a few trees that need to be staked to keep them straight. That's easy, can make the stakes in the woodshop. The right string is the next step. The green stuff isn't strong enough; i've always seen pieces of rubber water hose cut up, the hose put around the tree and the string running through the hose. Any other good ideas?
I hope this Easter weekend is a wonderful time for all families to come together.
Too bad I really don't like ham....

24 right now...mid to upper 60's and maybe some rain today.
First task is to mail out the taxes...had to pay in this year (for the state). After that....well, I'll figure something out or my wife will figure something out for me.
