Good morning!!!!

[ArlyA]

Good morning everyone. Not all that cool overnight here and in the 60's now plus a shower passed through.. We planned to head back to northern MN Saturday morning but now we have a ill puppy and might have to cancel travel plans. High for today is in the upper 70's which is pretty warm for us.

Good afternoon folks, had to cancel trip because of a ill puppy who I took to the vet and found out has urinary track infection. Drinking and peeing is all she's doing. Oh well, got her some meds and we'll look at camp properties on Saturday.. She's now at 39lbs!

the good news is the chicken was not rubbery.
but what a low end lunch, oval chicken part felt mechanically pulverized and was soft as could be.
tasteless unseasoned broccoli with it.
really a terrible lunch but nice people working there.

memorial went fine, some family drama, jumped a foot first time all those rifles were shot off, very
impressed with care and dignity shown with the military honors, folding of the flag.

Arly you were wise to keep dog home, hope she feels better soon.

I really want to do zip right now.

Quick stop to add completed garden pics. Need to buy more drip feeders for the plants as a few are plugged. Japanese maple is doing great also in it's new home. Hopefully new bush will grow as big as they say. Want to block the meters.

Looking good
If I had one of those comfortable chairs on my deck, I would be waking up with morning birds.

Scanned more slides this morning. Had to redo one tray as I discovered after finishing that they were in backwards by order. First tray I did were physically backwards in the tray, but I caught that. Had to wipe residue off the slides, probably put there by a mouse in dad's house...

My brother cleaned out dad's freezer, stuff in there from the 90s probably. threw it all out.

mowed all the yard to the creek. down at creek I discovered a new anchor for new guy wire just been set, that won't allow me to mow around the power pole. Seems the fiber guys strung a cable down the power line poles, even though they strung one down the road in front of my house. They redid all the guy wires (remember the clown show last week) in front of neighbors house, now looks like they will do the same for the power poles behind the house. Really not much need for a guy wire, line bends maybe 10deg max at the pole.
The line install guys were parked in front of neighbors house, so I came up and asked them. They first acted like they didn't know what I was talking about, then gave a bunch of excuses. I said move it foot so I can get my mower in there. They told me to cut it off, I said no, not going to cut it off. They said they would have someone come monday to discuss. I also asked why they sending a line down there, they said to get to people behind me. I said you already took one down the road, told him to turn around, said see that pole, that's where the power lines go. You making a circle. I'll just let them do whatever they are going to do. However, I should check into the easement situation. I asked if they were working for the power company, they said the fiber company. As far as I'm aware the easement is only for the power company, even the telephone lines dont use those poles. And that is an old old line (copper wires), well before fiber was ever a dream... I'm sure power company will claim they have right of way for anything on their poles...
But they should have asked before driving in over my back yard with their trucks.

Went to mission BBQ last night for supper, brought some back for todays supper.

Looks are deceiving, it won’t fit

Drew, that is what I did today...zip...

rs, if you have a blanket you don't want anymore use that to drape over the trap, covering not only the top but both sides and both ends. Leave it for about an hour and that will let the skunk (if it is a skunk) settle down then calmly pick up trap, blanket and all and put it where you want to release it. Remember up here it is illegal to shoot an animal in the trap, but you let it out of the trap and then put one in its' head.

BEF, if you pick up the rubber deflector the mower might fit. Maybe?

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.4C and it's presently 15.4C, partly cloudy with some wind. There was 2.0mm in the gauge @0900.

Yesterday I contacted the Wine Faeries to let them know that my Mate from Brisbane had depleted my wine 'collection' = a couple of emergency cases are on their way. Whew.

Today will see me off to the tip to recycle the wine bottles that my Mate depleted.

That's about it, take care all.

You are correct, Peter.

Our local club is the "Portland Endurance Riders Club Inc" and I typically get asked to 'man' a checkpoint. Also (for scott_vt) a State Amateur Radio Club also attends these events to supply rider information, as they pass = "number 15 has passed checkpoint #2", in case someone gets lost.

We've had many holidays manning vet check points, crewing, or riding endurance over the years. None in Tasmania, so far...

All the best,

Peter
