I have a few by the pool that they can't get to.

Update on the neighbors pond issues: The state department of the environment will have jurisdiction going forward. A report is being prepared to lay out that this is a Trout stream subject to regulation and no changes allowed without engineering study and permit changes. Legal action will result if recommendations are not implemented

It's people like you that roil a lot of people on here that view most environmental regulations as something to rebel against.
Having grown up with no smog, clear skies and mostly pure water in northern Vermont I'm glad to see someone take a stand.
The right to destroy the environment stops when it is affecting someone else's environment.
kudos.
/edit
I wrote "mostly pure water" because one time a squirrel got in the well and died. Water was "sweet" until my Dad fished it out.

My daughter says "thank you for the birthday wishes". She is still fighting infection we believe. Has another dr appt Monday morning.

As of November 2022; The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Toronto costs $2,502each month, while a two-bedroom is $3,353 per month.

This is just crazy, these prices.
The amount of $$$ people have to make, to afford this.

Good Evening Bill,

I am constantly amazed at the number of really bad drivers out on the road ! I had a young girl come up to a 3 way intersection in which she had a Stop sign and she not only didnt stop, she didnt look if anyone was coming ! Fortunately I was far enough away that I didnt T bone her ! Dont know if it was her cell phone distracting her or the joint she was smoking !

Probably the latter. Happens all too often, just like alcohol did/does too.

84F and sunny in Northern Nevada today. Glad it is not 100F.

Kyle-- our neighbors have peacocks. Wow they can be loud!!

Been busy with camping, travel, chores, and picking up our new pup.

Our new little guy is Rigby -- here is a pix with he and his mom. This pix makes him look a bit chunky, not sure why. He has been "home" for 24 hours now and all is going well. More pix coming I am sure!

Everyone have a great day !!!!!

Great picture and I like the name. They sure are a lot of work when they are young, just like having a baby. Hope you and Billy have the energy reserves to keep up with them and keep them out of trouble and raise them up to be your constant companions.

I have a myriad of things I need to do today. Not sure which ones I want to tackle. I have to fix a flat on the SUV. I will have to put the spare (normal sized) on the front, and move the good front tire to the rear. This is to make sure I don't have a different diameter tire on the rear that can ruin the differential. Taking it in for new tires Monday morning, soonest appt I can get.

I took off the pressure washer's pump, and the engine is not running right. It is a Briggs Intek 190, and has been a good engine. But it is about 28 years old, so I can't gripe too much....but I can gripe about the parts costing so much more than a new engine. Too bad, I would fix it if the parts were not so high. Just a gasket set is like $60 plus. I believe it has a burned valve and maybe camshaft wear. That's just a guess.

I have a box of cat pump parts, I need to see what all is in there and if there are enough parts to make a good pump. Then I'll try to decide on what to do for an engine maybe. They have a Honda powered Ryobi down at the depot for $449. Just not in the cards right now, with the daughter's health bills looming.

Frits, I watched the highlights of the Trouping the Colors. A lot of pomp and ceremony.

Those of you with bears....I want me one of those Bearskin hats like the English soldiers wear.
Thomas, You think Boo would loan me some skin? I will wait until he pees you off enough.

BEF, so y'all had a parade? We had about 600 in my graduating class.

Have a blessed day team!

Thanks. He had his chance to stop the overflow and ruin the driveway pavement and eroding the property. It is now showing cracks in the pavement and deep scars from water flow erosion. All he had to do was lower the overflow pipe to allow it to carry more flow but he refused because having the water level up higher looked better. And that it is impacting me and costing me money was not his concern.

Good Afternoon Kyle,

They have a Honda powered Ryobi down at the depot for $449. Just not in the cards right now, with the daughter's health bills looming.

I bought this unit a few years ago, really happy with it. Does just about everything that I can throw at it ! Honda GCV 160, nice little pressure washer !

 

[daugen]

it's a boy!

compressed air tank plumbed to two pipes, switch in back, parents did not know the results, came in a sealed envelope from baby doc.
so when the countdown was ended, glitter put down the pipe came out very nicely

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low was a balmy 8.4C and it's presently 10.4C. That'll pretty much be the High though as I'm in for a blustery day. Overcast too.

As per usual, I'm off to Church in about a half hour and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about it, take care all.
