Good morning!!!!

Good luck with that thought.
I am not cute and delivery of packages is alway to the door.

My mommy told me I was cute!

Maybe we resolve with a Thomas vs. Randy Beauty Contest?

I’m ready!

Just took it easy today. got a little over .25 in of rain. 26.99 in this year not sure of normal.

Ron, I am not sure I would believe them no matter what they said. I would not have as much of a problem if they were not saying next week or two every week. They ought to know what is on the ship and when it is coming even if they don't know delivery dates to the ship. I just want my money back.

Have a good night. Ed

Claye- Hummingbirds are a great source of entertainment and at a "relatively cheap" cost. You may see more than the Ruby Throated hummers? You guys/gals in western CONUS areas may see more species. Most of our annual sugar usage is hummingbird food. I see an increase in our use of sugar in the near future. I stopped flying my small RC aircraft near feeding stations due to possible less than desirable bird-drone interactions a long time ago.

The USPS never delivered here and never will due to our hill. FEDEX, UPS, and DHL never had a real problem with home delivery. We could have a USPS mailbox in a mailbox cluster a 1/4 mile down the road that gets taken out by drunk drivers periodically, usually on weekends or Seasonally by disgruntled highway department snowplow operators. We are a PO box by necessity.

I sealed the leak in the roof over the cellar successfully and now have discovered a small weeping crack in the cellar foundation during the cellar cleanup operation. Considering the cellar addition, the area, and the size of the "leak" I feel fortunate.

A Hard/Landline works. I dealt with them as needed. They proved their value.

I was thinking if I had bigger hummingbird feeders I wouldn't have to fill them 3 times a day.

I've been using four of these: Amazon.com : First Nature 39 32-ounce Hummingbird Flower Feeder : Wild Bird Feeders : Garden & Outdoor

They hold 32 ounces each, but the thirsty little buggers around here still empty them in two days. The oldest ones are faded a bit, but after two years nothing has broken on them. They're very easy to keep clean, too.

Kyle wanted to see a some photos of the BMW build, so here's what's happened up 'till now:

Things were pretty grim at the start, especially with the engine:


Half way through the first acid bath with Nice'n'Easy aluminum door and window cleaner:


Three days of scrubbing with wire brushes and ScotchBrite pads later:


The flywheel went in yesterday; today it was time for the clutch:


I also sorted through the boxes of engine and electrical parts to figure out what was still needed. Pretty short list so far; just hope it stays that way...

The neighborhoods to both the north and south have those flimsy mailbox clusters. The local miscreants have figgered out how to pry open the main door that exposes the contents of all the mailboxes at once so they can pilfer the good stuff at their leisure. Hardly a week goes by that one isn't hit somewhere around here. But today they caught three guys in the act. Hopefully that puts an end to it for a while.

I'm thinking of "upgrading" my mailbox to something made from quarter inch steel plate resting on a 12"x12" steel tube. It'll have baffles in the bottom of the box so that the mail drops down into the tube, and a door at the bottom with one of those fancy tamper proof locks. I've already installed a 2'x2'x4' steel Knack box that has a hasp with an integrated padlock. So far that's been enough that I haven't lost any parcels. But you'd be amazed at the inventiveness of the delivery personnel in how they can either not get the parcel in the box, or fail to lock it once the stuff is in there. In all fairness, if they could do anything else I supposed they'd be doing it, so I guess it's not their fault that they've just Petered out...

I'm definitely not in the cute camp, but the mail folks have always been pretty good here. I am surprised at the weekend deliveries, especially the Amazon sunday delivery. First time it happened, I thought I had lost a day somehow!

RNG, we’ve looked at these feeders too. Don’t know if there are any hummingbirds around here but, worth a try.

What is your food recipe? Water, sugar? How much? Anything else?

I thought the same thing.
