I was being good.

But swinging at an underhand pitch is SOOOOOO tempting!

KJC. Any chance of alternatives for Harry? I installed a doggie door in our bedroom that leads to a fenced area roughly 20x20. If needed, the dogs could be confined to that area, see old pic

They have a somewhat sheltered area along back of bedroom. Could close the doggie door to keep them confined, but don’t. What we do is Makani proof the bedroom, things like nothing laying around he likes, doors closed to the bathroom and office, their pillows locked in the crate - he’s very adept dragging them thru the doggie door.
Not a perfect solution, but tolerable. He’s getting better. This is a normal area they use every day, so not really a confinement.
Maybe you have an area you can configure to suit yours and Harrys needs.

all of our doors are either full-length glass or have storm doors,now doggie doors won’t work there,man’s this is a log home,and Mrs would frown upon me hacking holes in the house with a chainsaw. . .

i reached out to the trainer we sent Harry to and she said that he will be okay in his crate while we are at work, as long as he gets some play before going inm and normal attention and training after, especially since we are also taking him to doggie day care four workdays. But Mrs is also looking into a veteran service dog program as backup…

I think he can grow out of it, but I can say things here I cannot say to Mrs…

2 days in a row I'm on a roll. Yesterday I dug a hole where I thought the back yard drain line was put 25 yrs ago and bingo. Now I can put a 2 way clean out in the line
Today I ventured up on the roof and cleaned the fireplace pipe with one of those Amazon weed wacker looking gizmos with the flexible rods. Closed the glass doors and taped plastic over the FP front. Cleaned from the top side, will let the dust settle before I open it up and vacuum it out... probably put a sock on the vac discharge too.
Good time to do this while the Mrs is away.
I extended the stack 2 ft to improve the draft. Hopefully that fixes the smoke drafting back down and we can use it again without getting smokey.
The carwash and drive will have to wait... tomorrow's suppose to be just as nice or warmer.
Hope you all had a productive day.

20F clear sky.

No Bills Steeler game so plan B feet up and numb it rest of the evening.

Enjoy your evening all.

It’s not a game anyways

Floaters float. They move about.

On the subject of eyes -
My lovely wife had these little black dots that, with her describing them to our HMO, made them seem insignificant. And the HMO said eventually come in. Then they started getting bigger and blocking a lot of her vision. When we got to the HMO she was diagnosed with wet AMD and they rushed her to appointments for shots.
There are several "levels" of anti-VEGF injections, some are VERY expensive and not all insurance covers the better ones.
But she has been taking monthly shots and now the black spots have become slightly translucent and hopefully will not get worse.

Success in the shop! Got the pieces all stained, waited a couple hours, and got them assembled. Didn't take any pics after assembly, so those will wait until installed.


Joined boards ready to get cut to final length, then sanding / staining. Probably tomorrow. Have to get the supports installed first to get final measurements...

Wow! Sorry to hear that. Hope the shots continue to help with improvement. How many shots does she have to get?

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.3C and it's presently 20.9C, cloudy and calm (which will soon become breezy). Nothing in the gauge but there has been the odd bit of moisture coming down.

My Brisbane Mate got away yesterday on time... for some reason I went to bed shortly after 2130 for a very restful night's sleep.

Today I need to trim & mow around the property as tomorrow it's going to rain (if one can believe the weatherguessers).

That's about it, take care all.

Good evening high today was 22˚F.
I really don't understand outdoor ice. It was there this morning and this afternoon it was gone and it was in the teens or low twenties all day. So ice evaporates before it melts which allowed us to go on a 1/2 mile walk. Going out with the wind was OK but coming back into the wind was challenging to the eyes and face, wind chill was 15˚. Tomorrow morning is suppose to be the coldest temp around 13˚F.

Good Evening Guys,

At my last eye exam, I asked if there was anything that could be done, explaining that it was from an "arc"..... the Dr just said "at our ages, you will just get floaters.... they will go away

Ted, my optometrist said the same thing ! Im still waiting! Truthfully they are not in my line of sight, so not a long time! I will give it a few more months and hopefully they will disappear!

Thinking about diverse opinions..
If someone posts something you find disagreeable to extent you want to comment, just PM them directly. You can make your point with each other without involving everyone else.

I don't think that will work because he has put out information or misinformation to hundreds if not thousands of people and your counter response has gone to one person. A post of misinformation or an opinionated post is still visible. It would only work if the misinformation/opinionated post was also removed but that would take others getting involved.
Oh, by the way I'm not talking about any specific post lately.

Five individuals that live next to or near the designated solar farm are "fervently" against the project saying it would ruin the value of their property.

We call them N.I.M.B.Y.s
Not In My Back Yard

They would only be true NIMBYS if they fervently want the solar farm—- just “NIMBY”.

if they don’t want it at all, as in not in ANYBODY’S Backyards. . . I better stop typing…

 

[KilroyJC]

Besides an eyesore, I wonder what all pitfalls of a huge solar farm exude? is it photovoltaic? Or mirrors heating vessels for steam?

There is a huge difference in operation.

Basically, as a business, they need to find the cheapest land they can get. They should NOT get tax incentives.

How much forest/arable farmland needs to be chopped down to build it?

Will watching Petticoat Junction give me side affects.

Say Hi to Uncle Joe for me!

 

[KilroyJC]

Don't we all?

Amen Brother!
