It's an indian belief that the sage smoke will chase the evil spirits away.
Similar to the new purple M&M candy. Paint it a color and give it a reflection of human qualities. Belief that giving something some type of power or human quality will change something.
Anthropomorphism. Sage smoke may chase anyone away.
Not sure of temperature no more oops but nice head and chest cold aches all over but some better just tired. Drinking 8 bottle of water a day
Thanks for thoughts and prayers they mean alot
Prayers for all our Country
Glad to hear you are a bit better, prayers for your wife.
You too Mostly. Sounds like you're willing yourself over it.
We never had nausea. 3 of us took different tests. No Covid, no flu. Wife believes we had RSV. I've had bouts of lingering sinus/congestion/phlegm since I was a late teenager. Water skiing in brackish tidal waters.
I think of how incredibly happy Toppop was to find someone to love and love him back after his wife died.
Since I don't happen to be currently pursued by too many rich widows,
perhaps getting an rv will get me out there more.
Drew, rich widows are hard to find. I've seen many "not rich" women, come from rocky road pasts, latch onto men just to get under their pension insurance umbrella and out of the rain.
Drew for some reason I see you running a charter service in the islands running that scout or Boston Whaler 425, either one fits grey hair beard and lightly tanned.
I could do that....if I hit that lottery. About 15 years ago, I watched a nice yacht, with an electronic sliding door like on Star Trek, take on about 2250 gallons of diesel on the intercoastal canal one time. The crew said it could do about 33-35 knots. Wow, can you imagine what that would cost today in diesel? I would post facts as to why it is so high, but the same administrator would yank my post.
Good news on the daughter hooking up with released from jail guy. She finally realized her pattern ( we told her about for years ) that she hooks up with the same types, exciting red light types that don't work, that will never amount to anything except trouble. She kicked him out and has set up counseling with someone that gave her a lower rate to take her on.
I have a niece, who was Valedictorian in high school, gorgeous, slender, had a full ride to college....who got entangled with her first bum at 18-19. Got pregnant, had to drop out. Watched her salutatorian rival go on to get her MD. Left her first bum, found another, then another, while her dad (my brother) raised the boy. Never figured out why she aimed so low.
Kyle does not realize just how close he came to being the owner of a Honda FG-110 tiller. First it would not start so I went to the filling station and bought fresh gasoline and it started. Then it would stop running, found hole in bulb and replaced it. Then it died out and leaked gasoline, stuck open throttle, WD 40 the heck out of the cable now it's working fine. Sorry Kyle I was able to find and fix the 3 problems.
As you can tell the garden's Kale is coming back. I'll give the kale another month before I harvest the kale and till the garden after adding manure and compost and then plant potatoes and set up the irrigation system. And as a bonus got 30 min of seat time!
Hello, my name is Kyle and I have a problem with collecting tillers. LOL Don, you just made me think of my tiller predicament. I have 5, (3 that should run), and 2 that I picked up for cheap that need work. (these projects are way down on the list) I never, never turn down a low cost tiller. Glad you got it going again.
I have brought home so many projects over the years, thinking I'll have stuff to do when I retire. My barn is full. Now that I'm hoping to work at my new job until I'm 71-72, I don't know if I'll have the strength, will, or life force to do some of them....at that time. Right now, my working day goes like this. I leave the house around 6:30, and get home around 6:30. Time is something I don't have a plethora of during the week. And I can tell at my age, I'm giving 95% of my energy to work, and the tank is almost bone dry when I get home. I'm not griping about my predicament. I thank the Lord for it. The Lord has blessed me in more ways than I can count, but he must not have intended for me to be well off. But I am "low energy" when I get home.
Verizon, my wife and I both hate their support. We got away from them as soon as there were viable alternatives. Giving up our landline, and slow internet service. We are big fans of Cricket for cell phone service. $25/phone/month for 4 or more phones, if you will let them automatically deduct from your account. Much cheaper than AT&T, but uses AT&T's system. Says we can get slowed down if the system is crowded. I will expect this to happen during hurricane exodus, but we've only been with them for 2 years and it hasn't happened yet.
Drew, I don't know if you ever got an aquarium or not, and I apologize for the late response, but I'm not the most aquarium experienced person here...but here goes. I'm a minimalists when it comes to tank maintenance. I've tried a wide array of species and such, with not much luck (because I don't give the tank the maintenance probably it demands). They were all so skittish and would scram and hide if you ever walked near the tank. So there was not much sitting and watching and enjoying going on. Anyway, after trying probably over 30 species, and they had all died but my large Plecostomus, I decided to try some angel fish. I bought 3 from the same brood, maybe about the size of a quarter. They not only grew up to about 4" fin to fin, they actually are food trained and will come up to the glass to see you. I can put my head on one end of the 55 gallon tank and they will race towards me, and then go to the other end and they will follow. Not skittish at all. So they give me something nice to watch and have fun with. I'm cleaning the tank out today with a 30% water exchange. The Pleco met his demise after I watched him come eat the 1 minute old eggs the female angel fish had attached. Argh. Need another algae eater, but not an egg eater.
People have flushed their Plecos or released them into the pristine San Marcos river, and now they have become an unwanted species. They are asking for people to don mask and fins and harvest all they can find to help out the delicate eco system.
33F this Am, going to 65F maybe. Picture perfect weather day.
For the very first time, since forever, I am off on MLK day Monday. Not sure what I'm going to do. Have plenty of things that need some maintenance love around here.
Rip, I'm enjoying your controlled mayhem of activities. You have a treasure of buildings. I really liked the pic of the barn from inside with the light shining in the top floor. What a gem. And please post more pics of your milkhouse project. Prayers for your wifey.
Prayers for our team, to get over sickness, and for our country and for peace in Ukraine. I hope you all have a blessed day.
