Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Paul, what type of dog is that? I know you posted the breed name before but couldn't find it.....
She's a cutie for sure!

We've thought about getting a companion for Max, but he must have been talking to Whipper.... he also likes getting all the attention.....

Wifey was in a sea of testosterone

Ted, I heard a friend remark on the flip side of that, my lady friend with her four daughters all together
on Thanksgiving. Too much estrogen!

I have endless projects on tap so a matter of deciding what to do depending on how I feel. Fortunately the days of having to hurry and then take care of some emergency real or perceived are gone.
Also I am fortunate in being able to do most projects physically and with tools on hand although I am envious of Popgadget with a milling machine. I want one but probable do not need it.

Landseer ECT (European Continental Type), which is different than a Landseer Newfoundland.
The ECT isn’t recognized in the US or Canada, but is every where else in the world.

All this talk about shaving.....

Pretty sure that the last time I shaved was in the late 60’s.

 

[sodamo]

63°F and .01 inches rain. Dryer but cool day anticipated.

Need to do some piddling around stuff, but haven’t determined what priority yet

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 830AM.
Partly cloudy skies. High 69F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Sounds like you all had a great Thanksgiving, at least those of you here in the US. Nothing like good food and good company with which to count our blessings.

Even as a young man, my beard came in gray. Now, from what I can tell, it's white. But it's not been any longer than bum length, it itches way too much for the Santa look.

Do you have a fence on the property line, Frits? If so, could you stretch plastic over it, so that bullet holes would show from anything crossing the line? Are there laws against baiting game? Maybe time for another call to the Sheriff for advise as to how to press charges. Perhaps that will get the message across.

That's a real cutie, Paul. Bet you can't wait 'till Christmas...

Got house guest on their way home early this morning with a thermos full of dark roast coffee and lots of left overs. And a pickup bed full of large rocks and firewood. Was able to get final drive and rear wheel installed on the new red bike yesterday, enough so that the guest could sit on it and see if their feet would touch the ground. I'm on the balls of my feet while sitting on it, and so were they. Probably put a little more time in on it today after it warms up a little, then get to catching up on maintenance on the touring bike. Looks like New Years with them at Kernville again, and a beach cabin the week before Christmas down there. It would be fun to have the new red bike ready for that, but I'm not optimistic I've found all the dragon eggs yet.

50F and sunny @ 12:00, heading up to a high of around 56F supposedly.

Turkey dinner last night was was good, I'm sure in a few more days I'll be tired of it though.

Got some work done on a another couple sets of dahlia tubers in grow bags, didn't do any mudding though.

We watched "The Hunger Games" last night after dinner, think we had seen at least part of it before.

Also got new cookware set ordered for The Woman.

Woman chomping at the bit to get started on flower bed/garden clean up ... and is already out the door ...

I'll join her in a bit after I refill the hopper feeder for our little feathered friends.

Need to blow the rest of the leaves off the planting bed that was mulched on the East side.

Rain due in tomorrow, could be significant - possibly as much as an inch which would be welcome.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday ...

 

[scaredychicken]

It's raining this morning; supposed to be a rainy day all day but maybe no more than a half inch total. And to answer some questions . . . no pictures of me with a beard as far as I know. I thought I looked so bad that I hated to go out in public, but at least no one said anything to me about my looks.

Bird - no photos ? ... then it didn't happen. Redo. Beard 2.0 probably looks great.

For more than half my military career I had a mustache although often frowned upon. When I was a company commander vocally hated them, but in our battalion, 4 of the 5 had one with the consensus the 5th would have if she could have grown one. Many times, if taking leave longer than 2 weeks I’d not shave, getting a good start on a beard. Now, most days I just mow it off with electric shaver vs the old razor days.

We have handicap bars in all our bathrooms/showers except the caretaker studio. Sometimes wish I had built in a seat in the master shower.

A cutie for sure, but I don’t recall either.

Growing up etc we never had more than a single dog, then back in the 90’s when we got our 2nd Boxer, Ruby, it was only a couple weeks before we found ourselves rescuing Jack. We soon realized the different dynamics and have had multiple boxers ever since (6 for about 3 years). Until Kalani passed a couple years ago, leaving Kekoa as the sole dog, he was miserable, hence finding and getting Makani. Guess we are a 2 boxer family.

 

[scaredychicken]

I shave one time a year. Whether I need it or not. St Patrick's day.

dye that beard green, & a photo before the annual shave ... will make people wonder

Fisherman's Friend are a pretty good cough drop, and less sugar than most, i think

If I don’t shave every day, I need a weed eater.

try NAIR from the women's aisle (no don't, ... I'm kidding)


Like scootr, I usually have a goat - hides the growth between shaves . Every now and then I grow a fu-man, makes me look tough. clean shaven works too

we have a Walk-In Tub, it's great, but takes far longer than a shower. the jets are nice, safer. expensive. but I can stand an shower in it when there are time commitments

gotta go out for a bit, later folks

Made up one these to get full flow air into storage tanks or fill large tires and not get damage from liquid fill in tires. It has the large flow Milton connector and I connect it to the 150 psi outlet on the compressor. Also it grips on so no more holding.

RNG no there is no fence. The creek running all the time is the property line. Hunting comes under the Natural Resource Police of Maryland and target shooting comes under the sheriff. The hunting rules allow feeders for deers on the property line even though it is obvious a miss means it goes into my property. Not like it is in Texas and many other states with felonies for shooting across property lines. The other option was to check distance from dwelling being less than 150 yard and it comes in very close to that plus minus a few feet hard to measure because going over the pond. So looks like nothing I can do except set up noise maker as suggested by some but I don't think I want to take it that far. He maybe a trigger happy gun nut. I think the limit is 10 deer so will see what he gets.

He did move the target off the property line that he was using with AR 15 high capacity clips after the Sheriff visited him. He used that yesterday with higher caliber shots for I guess to be his deer rifle. So that message got across

the breed has several known genetically transmitted inherited diseases, making it imperative that breeding dogs are tested to identify carrier status for which testing is available.

Popgadget, did you get it tested?

"2 years in from having @0v!d, I still have very little sense of smell."

My daughter did some kind of smell therapy to help her smell return but there is so much stuff about this disease that has turned out to be snake oil. Who knows.

I had a nice mustache a few years ago but none of the women in my life liked it so I am clean shaven now.

"my lady friend with her four daughters all together on Thanksgiving. Too much estrogen!"

I have always liked the company of women.

[daugen]

I agree Chris.

jobs got done and I'm tuckered out. Garden cleaned out, most of xmas lights put up, wash all done and folded, pumpkins chucked in woods
then a nice soak in hot tub

54˚F Today turn out to be a pretty day on the "Farm" if you overlook the wind and the mud. With the sun shining people were really starting to come out in the afternoon. The first breakfast with Santa was a success with 30 people showing up in the cold and just finished rain. We have had 2.4" of rain the last 3 days.
The town lake has filled up a foot this month, now we are only 16' below full.
