Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I think it was a good one....
The misses and I enjoyed a very good pizza and blueberry filled fresh baked crescents.....
AND.... got the bed filled / completed with fresh mulch! Nice weather for the job! I feel accomplished....

Time for the feets to go up......

Don, I am glad I ate earlier...... when I first saw the pic..... well I thought they were some chocolate covered grasshoppers..... almost lost it....

However, would chocolate covered grasshoppers be considered plant based?

The wifey kept the pressure on for me to decide on a "birthday dinner"...... I don't want her staying in the kitchen all day, so I told her 'pizza'..... it worked.

Kyle, nice to hear that your daughter is doing well. Those occasional "stern talks" usually work well on sons..... Glad you got some rain.
Happy Birthday Ted!

I believe he's ready for another "stern" talk.


All 5 of us are blue eyed. Born blonde, but migrate to sandy brown hair around as teenagers. My 2 youngest are still blonde, but not as blond as Helogabal's children. I told my oldest daughter, "Your blue eyes are so beautiful, they make me glad I married a blue eyed wifey".....

Might need to get some Hollytone, to give our 1 blueberry bush some love.

I started up a twitter account.

I hope Eric is alright.

I used the bigger tractor to unload the auction 286 Bush Hog off the trailer. Sure is nice not dripping a pint of fluid every 10 minutes....Deere oil is $95./5 gallons, TSC oil is $59./5 gallons.

my friend that bought the auctioned Massey (with a known no reverse problem), finally split it. He's astounded by some of the part's prices. The clutch friction plate is $450. He said there is actually quite a bit of damage, and the tally of parts is up to about $4500. Ouch. He says "at least they are available in stock". I didn't have the heart to tell him I'm him-hawing over spending a hundred bux on the old, old Kohler K301 engine....but now that I made the adapter plate, I guess I will...

That bird flu epidemic is horrible. It is what changed my wife's mind about getting some more baby chicks.

Not even close, you have much to learn grasshopper. Happy birthday!
I looked at the pic again and they do look like grasshoppers, I'm going to change the name of the snack to LS Grasshoppers.

Good early arvo all. Overnight low was 9C and the high will struggle to reach 16C, calm and 0.8mm in the gauge at 0900. It's been raining all day and should continue 'til late tomorrow.

Just got back from my weekly town/groceries run (Wednesdays are 5% Seniors Discount) and I remembered to book a flu shot with the local clinic.

Nothing else planned... take care all.
