Had to take Coco to the emergency vet last night,
rip - saw that the National Museum or the US Army opened yesterday up your way (Ft Belvoir)...the article in the WSJ I read said it is one of the 3 top military museums (one of the others is the Natl Mus. of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Don).

Good morning! 51˚Cloudy heading to the 80s.

Wngsprd hope Coco is doing better today. I went to the gift shop at the museum but did not have enough time to go to the museum in Fredericksburg on the last trip there. We went with the neighbors on a bus to see a play in town. Sounds like a good idea for a day trip once this covid settles down. We have slipped from the green zone past the yellow zone now in the orange zone with increased cases. My wife got her hair cut yesterday just in case things shut down again. Her hair dresser lost her Mother and Uncle to covid - they both lived in New York.

Rip glad your daughter was rescued. I can relate to her experience about driving in the dark with high water. In the country we had a surprise road that would flood 24 hours after it rained and it was on a curve and in the dark you could not turn around because you could not see the road. I drove to town on the road no water but on the way back (the 24 after rain rising creek water came) and I was in a Prius. Good thing a big truck was in front of me to push the water away. A couple months later a lady drowned when she did the same thing 24 hours after the rain.

The Park cedarcide went well yesterday. We cleared out hundreds of cedars, now the county needs to come out and chip or haul so the lookout view will be visible - we make 3 piles the size of 18 wheelers (but only about 6 feet high.).

Time to make the sourdough cinnamon rolls.

Good morning
56 and overcast with rain on and off forecast through this afternoon. .82 inches since yesterday.

My mining operation yielded measurable progress, but has made the scope of the project painfully clear. It’s going to be a few days before anyone but me would notice the improvement. Its interesting that about a third of what I’m unearthing is going straight into the trash. Other stuff is going to where it belongs, even if I have to make a spot for it or fix it first. And of course, I swear that I will never let it get to this point again.....

Today my cleanup might get interrupted by helping my oldest son with a wood working project. I gave him an old barometer that I got from the tower of a closed airport, he wants to make a mount to put it on his office wall. Adjustments.jpg
The background should give an idea of the state of my horizontal surfaces.

Youngest daughter had to be water rescued about two miles from the house.

Rip, maybe she needs a jeep with a snorkle. You can drive them through pretty deep water. I have seen youtube videos where they have rigged jeeps to drive completely underwater. I wouldn't be surprised if we continue to see a lot of flooding.

Makes me want to learn more about plumbing...


When I think about some of the guys who claim to be plumbers I ask myself how hard can it be? And it seems like they are constantly inventing new ways to make it easier.

Vacationing in New Mexico. Got to talking to a local at a shop about 40 miles from where we are staying. He said if you wanted to see some elk, hit the local elementary school soccer fields at sunrise.

He wasn't lying

Dftodd, Welcome to NM! Looks like either Ruidoso, Cloudcroft, or Taos. Am I close? (Even though those places are far apart). Nice places... if I had to guess, I would say Taos. Enjoy your stay!

I was always told that if you remembered that poop flows down hill, don’t chew your fingernails and don’t deposit cash, you were ready to go.....
