Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

I have been having so much fun and laughing about my white rock that I put outside my yard. Golfers keep coming to it to see if it’s their ball.
I’m amused easily.

My vulture story, no pictures. I was driving into Columbus this morning, after getting a call from pharmacist at our local Walmart, that they had received more doses of the Shingrex vaccine and one had my name on it. This is for my second dose which you need within 60-180 days of receiving your first vaccination. My day 180 is only 10 days away so, didn't want to miss my chance and have to start all over @ $155 / shot. Anyway......

I'm about 12 miles from Columbus. Was driving down a Farm to Market Road and, as I came over a hill, saw about 20 vultures in the middle of the road ahead. There was also a stopped car, blocking both lanes, about 25 yards from the vultures?

I stopped behind the car, waited for about 30 seconds, with no movement of the car. I got out, walked up to the car, and tapped on the window. Driver was a nice lady, probably in her 80's.

I asked her nicely, why she was blocking the road? She said that she loved birds and this was so interesting ..... she wanted to watch.

The stupid vultures were puzzling over a snapping turtle that had tried to cross the road.

I finally convinced her that I was coming through (was wearing a VFD T-shirt) and she needed to clear the road. She finally agreed to move over.

I got back in my truck, put on a pair of work gloves, sped forward scaring away the vultures, slammed on my brakes, jumped out and grabbed the turtle, tossed him into the bed of my truck, and sped off.

My good deed ..... of the day.

Good evening all. 50F for the start, calm wind clear sky. High thin clouds have started to move in, Wind got very frisky, and high temp was 73F. 2 more warm windy days and cold front moves through, highs will be 15-20F cooler. Men's meeting to start the day, had to clean outdoor fixture while replacing a light, the bike ride. Got a text main bike was ready with new fenders, tires, new small chain ring and new bottom bracket bearings. Try it out tomorrow. Dinner at Red lobster to finish day.
Don, love the Jethro belt, leaking sprinkler system, not so much.
L4N, sounds like your are having a bad pants day.
Buckeye, I would need a 6" caribeaner to work for me :ashamed:

Pic came from a friend in Louisiana. They look like guineas to me?

Good morning all, lots of sun and starting out at 14C/57F. Another as good as it gets day coming up.

I can't stop smiling at so many of the Good morning crew confessing to wearing suspenders. L4N, ask your DIL for a translation of what they are in my version of English - I would post a picture, except don't want anyone to go spilling their coffee so early in the morning.

26 outside this AM. Heading to upper 60's. City job today. Cherry blossoms at lunch. Maybe. Cleared honey to do list except for the big maple that came down while I was away. 5 foot at the base. I need a much bigger chain saw. Lol.
Hope all continue to do well.
