I went up on the little mountain that I'm trying to give Brandy. several old roads, but get to the top there is only 1. ROPS brushed through a big Palo Verdy on the way up. On the last road there was was 1 growing right in the middle of the road. Turned around & started down on the way went through the first tree & a wasp hit me on top of the ear. Damm did it hurt.Every couple of 100 feet or so, I'd put my head down & shake it & think god get me off of the this mountion. It was 2/3 miles home, by the time I got there, my ear was swelling, went to my head, neck, round front on my chest. In a few days it started itching. & Finally went away.

Some time later I got hit by 1 under the chin. It stung a little, & went away in less than a minuet.

I have a life time supply of pellets & BB'S. Jar of 500 BB"S & 2 tins of pellets. One I just bought 200 & I found the one I had 500.

UN till I got the little pistol I had no real desire to shoot anything. Would take Cody shooting & bought him a semi auto 22 rifle. It held 15 rounds & at the end of a shooting session, he loved to empty it as fast as possible.

OH no another Rat story.
When I was a kid grandad went out to his claim & found 2 baby Kangaroo rats in the hole. 1 Was dead, the other he put in his sock ( must have taken it off. :laughing:} & brought it home. Mom put it in a bird cage & that is where he lived his whole life. He had a tin can & when mom fed him he'd fill his cheeks with rolled oats & go in his can & try to bury it. Then go back for more, kick out the first batch & this went on until he had gone through the bunch.
The kitchen was real big. When I was playing cop I'd go home sometime during the night, get him out of his cage & let him explore. then put him back before going back to work.

One day the old Chief that hired me said I was the only night cop that didn't sleep on the job. I guess the others would try to hide & go to sleep. Not me I parked under a street light sat up & leaned against the window. :D

In the second grade an old cop that had been there almost for ever. Us kids were afraid of him. No reason, but if we had to go past his house we would run or cross the street. HE never harmed any of us in any way.

There would be a fight in 1 of the bars & someone would come fetch him. He would slowly go over there & arrest the looser, His theory was that the SOB should not get in these fights if he can't win. :D

More later. Lots of pictures & silly stories.

WELL IT HAD TO HAPPEN
The pump in the cooler crapped out today. Not that it's really hot only 105 or 6. Was going to get dog & bird seeds today. Glad I didn't, just have to go again tomorrow.
Have a hose propped up to spray a some water on it. It works a little.

Went to town yesterday & only missed 2 out of 5 stops. 1 on purpose & 1 just plain forgot. Don't ask how many things I had on a list that I didn't get. :D

Good Morning Jim
Remembering all the places you have lived and worked from Northern Arizona to the Mexican border. even crossing over into N. Mexico Cliff Gila area . I have been wondering why you moved and built in a area even the Indians didn't consider part of the Reservation .
Mostly a dry rocky filled with scorpion's snakes with a few birds.

Know Hermits Prospectors and a very few other types of human species live in the dry desert land.

As said Good Morning again. Happy Fathers day and Jim trying to pull your leg.

I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't really matter to me why he lives there. I just assume he feels comfortable there because it's where he was raised.
I suppose it's like most places in that it has it's desirable seasonal aspects.
"It's a dry heat."

Guess summer is almost here. 118 today & may go up another degree. Cooler is doing its job, 77 inside, 41 degree spread. All Most 2 hot to go out & get beer. :laughing:
Guess I will be shopping at Wally World 3/4 AM. Problem Can't buy beer until after 8AM.

This place was not quite my first chaise. As I said before Saint David was my #1 place.

3 Mutts in the house all sleeping peacefully.

Brandy girl, If you ever get the rocks to build your dikes. A mixture of stucco sand, I lime & some white glue. 5 sand, 1 lime & 1or 2 cups of glue, Have the rocks damp & your dike will last almost forever & not leak.

All of you, if you want to pour cement over some old stuff, make sure its clean & if possible rough it up. Then get it damp, light coating of glue & it will hold much better.

A few pictures & I'm done.
