I wonder how Thomas does with Boo and trash cans?
would think a bear would go through anything you put out there
this group can probably count a dozen bent bird feeders to bears

Boo been good bear for the last 3 years,very beginning had couple good hard chats and spray bear mase on the trash can Boo shown no interest of trash can,but he been known to take sweatshirt baseball cap and boot.

Hiked Della all the way to the river for the first time...down the cliff and in for a swim in the rapids...she loved it, of course...already up to 33 lbs.

Della will be looking forward to more hikes often now.

good morning, 65 going to 79 nice and cooler, chance for rain tonight, hoping anyway

Picked up medication at the pharmacy yesterday and did some household chores.
Talked to one of my former coworkers and plan to meet next week. He is retired and lives during summer on Cape Cod. His daughter just graduated with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is starting her new job in Mass

Good morning, the low is 57 and going to a high of 81°F. Wind calm. 30% chance of showers tonight.

Junior will go to town today with the letter that needs to be registered. I will cut the grass while he is gone.
Maybe I can con him into getting another 5'er of high test.

I check my blood sugar twice daily with a Contour Next sugar measuring device and at no time since May 12th has it been over 9.8 (that time was because I ate an orange and then checked my sugars after. Morning before breakfast it is in the 7s and before supper in the 6s. I'm eating 3 of 500mg of Metformin/day.
White Rabbit comes to mind EVERY time I gobble these goobers. "and the ones that Mother gives you don't do anything at all".

So that is my day planned out, grass cutting and smoking.

Have a safe day all

Paul wonder if that was a DDA40X, basically two locos on one frame.

Yes it is

boy do we need more of this capability out there

I minored in psychology at college, first of all, subconsciously I think, trying to figure myself out,
and then fascinated by what motivated others to do what they do.
Turned out to be good sales training, understanding needs and wants. And fears.
and yes it helped to figure myself out.
but for all of us, I think that's a work in progress anyway.

got the trash out, looked at local radar
well hello there
you arrived early
rain is coming in, system going up the coast
c'mon in, rain is sure welcome

now to do some light foodshopping
with so many veggies coming in, have to change my menu and
I guess time to stir fry.
That's why I was thinking of that griddle.
I don't have an air fryer and would prefer my
veggies not cooked in rendered hooves and snouts.

have a yellow squash for this evening, but it will be raining so have
to do it indoors.

nearly all of AT&T's cell customers just had the master database hacked
exposing all your texts and calls.
not good at all

the electronic bad guys are winning their fair share. Look at the recent disaster in the car industry when almost all the dealerships
master software went down for a week. I think they had to pay a huge ransom...I wonder if the story will come out.

you know some bad guy is coming after our power grid. I really, really hope we have our best minds on that.

what's worse on trash cans? ground hogs?

Here is one of two Marmots that were recently on my property. I trapped them in a drainage pipe by sealing off the only exit. Then dropped rat poison in through the drain grate. btw-- that is an 8" pipe and those are 12" pliers in the pix.

Today is our last forecasted day of over 100F. Just in time-- starting tomorrow I will be installing a modification to my RV refrigerator to change "absorption" to a 12V compressor. Never done it before-- hope it works!

Buppies ... hope you can get some sleep and things smooth out!

Everyone have a better day than the Marmots did!!!

Haven't heard much about the AT&T Hack, but the business system software hack affected a few of our competitiors (Heavy truck dealership) I can assure you some big money lawsuits are getting drafted about that...multiples of millions of dollars in lost revenue alone, someone's going to take that loss and it's not going to be the dealerships.

One of the IT security guys I watch on YouTube hacked powerplants for the Federal Government, look up PirateSoftware on the 'Tube if you're curious. Genuinely a great guy, now does Game Dev stuff.

In the spirit of this thread, Happy Friday y'all. Currently, 68 F going to a high of 84. Chance of rain later this afternoon. We need it bad.

Enjoy the day folks!
