Good morning!!!!

I liked this video. I think some of you have taken the ride.

Kilroy, no question, super crunchy every time

over a hundred bucks for led lights, whoa, got two extras for neighbor, she can pick what color she wants

now out to put old fashioned (but LED) colored bulbs around a 12 foot tree outside near the garage, with a nice pole
I have with a hook on the end of it.
round and round and round I go
this one's for the neighbor's kids

You got me thinking I need to kick start the wishing well lights today I leave them up year round. It eliminates a lot of fiddling with putting them up and taking them down. LED strip lighting is barely visible in the off season.

What are the larvae feasting upon that enables hatching all through the winter?

They came in during September and October because Junior couldn't be bothered closing the windows when it got cooler out.
They seem to congregate in the litter trays for the cats. I get into the bathroom and hose them down first thing in the morning and a couple of times a day, too. You might say that I kill them on sight.
I get more with the spray than by swatting. Spraying them just stops them from flying and then I swat them, sometimes. With the spray it only takes them about 5 minutes to die.

nice to be able to use the outside outlet on rv for xmas lights
went to put lights on the larger of these two evergreens, both of which I planted several years ago.
Big one now too big for me, happy to settle for smaller one

really want to wash rv today after turning water back on.
will see if I have the energy.

did get the big wood and plastic blocks out and relevelled the rv about four inches above the gravel so
metal rams would not be extended so far all winter
might work on the toilet later this weekend, too much other stuff competing for attention.

had to get rid of an old friend today
last time for being so close
so intimate
so caring
but he's worn out and lost all his zip-per.
my pea green brown leather collared ancient LL Bean duck barn coat finally bit the dust.
Zipper finally failed. didn't care the sleeves were frayed, coat was seriously stained, looked truly ratty,
it's the one I always wore when I knew I was going to get dirty.
one tough coat, probably got 15 years out of it, including true farm time.
Good zipper would cost a third of a new coat around here.

almost bought a Carharrt replacement. Their 110 barn coat is on sale for 90 at TSC.
I just wish the label was extra. I don't like to wear labels or advertise.
So I found a well rated clone on Amazon for ten bucks less with a similar little square
logo but no name, just a little design.
I understand if you buy a Gucci, and I never have, you want the G to show.
But Carrhart?
You want to know I wear Hanes too?..................

I'm out decorating that tree this morning and my broken coat is hanging open without a zipper
and underneath is my broken fleece zipper sweater, with a broken zipper.
I must be hard on zippers. So everything is open but thankfully not cold as I was working pretty hard at it
and having a little ventilation was a plus.
But I laughed at myself and thought I was looking like a bum and go buy a new coat.
which I did. Old one was a better coat, I doubt its replacement will last as long.
But then, neither will I...

battery pack low
report to charging station
ok

Ok - I was worried that some rodents had hidden access and die from poison, then fester in dark corners…

You should contact Beqn and see if they will warranty the zipper first…

Drew you can spray your exposed chrome sections of the rams with some fluid film for extra protection.

Looks like there's a lot of moisture in those clouds this morning.
