Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Me too! I wonder if there's something in the water?

Oh, and tolerance for stupid people has really diminished over time.... it's down to about 45 seconds now.....

Wow! You sure are generous with your time. I give them about 10 seconds.

I saw Proco Harem in Tampa, Poco opened for them 1973, Charlie Daniels and Chrystal Gayle sometime in the '80s. Not sure what year, I was stoned and I almost missed it. Pink Floyd also in the 80s. Stoned there too. Howling Wolf at the Elmacambo in Toronto also sometime in the 80s. That was shortly before he died. Saw Showdown back when they were a bar band in Medicine Hat, AB. Since then I have found that I don't like crowds and avoid them like the plague.

BTO, good Canadian band. Randy Bachmann is the only one of the three brothers that is still alive.

A huge moth, biggest I have ever seen, landed in my Stihl MS261C. Amazing coloring

Earliest concert I have record of attending is Del Reeves and the Good Time Charlies in 1975.

My first concert was Styx, at an Illinois high school in ~1972.

Nice HH at the golf club. Had an interesting sandwich, 2 burger patties, slice of Swiss, lettuce, tomato, bacon, brisket, and an egg all on a bun. Intimidating, but good.

what, no pineapple slice?

what, no pineapple slice?

Naaa, not listed on menu as Hawaiian . The egg on top kinda put it in the loco moco category, except no gravy.

our friends showed us one like that the other day. It seemed to be injured and couldn't fly.

nice drive up the Delaware River to Tinicum CSA, pretty busy there, apparently most folks get there when they just open
at 4pm. I could have gotten one more melon, but I'm giving one of these away anyway
might see if I can consolidate this and take a bag of recuperative veggies to Popgadget.

good news on my water acid neutralizer. I got the local water treatment company to meet my 1500 dollar budget and they will install it
included. 2295 normally. Landlord delighted.

Good Afternoon,

Moved the Kubota around back next to the deck and raised up the loader and then went upstairs and climbed out on the deck through a window and loaded the largest pile of scrap deck boards which had been removed into the bucket and took that up to the brush pile and dumped it

RS, are you going to burn all of that or was it PT decking ? I know at my CT home, I have to bring it to the transfer station and get weighed in, because they consider it demolition ! I was telling Dennis the other day that I once cut up an entire deck and sent it to the dump piece meal in the barrels you put out front for trash pickup ! Anyways sounds like you made good progress on that project !

Have a good evening !

I wonder if they grow so big they can't fly any more, not enough lift...

45 seconds would be a huge increase for me.

I got a tee shirt anonymously in the mail that said “My people skills are fine, it’s my tolerance of idiots that needs work”.
That pretty much says it all.

45 seconds also for me only if I can control my mouth.

I think the first concert I remember going to was Guess Who at St John Terrell’s music circus in Lambertville, NJ. Since then I have been to a lot of concerts from Roy Orbison, to The Rolling Stones. I never saw the Beatles, but have seen McCartney multiple times. Country and bluegrass from the likes of Doc Watson, Lester Flatt, John Hartford, John Denver, Bill Monroe, David Bromberg, Bonnie Raitt, Dale Watson, Bill Kirchen, Robbie Fulks, etc, emerging acts like Jackson Browne in a coffee house with a couple hundred seats at most, where he played until 4am.
Almost all the arena acts of the era, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Credence, Moody Blues, Grateful Dead, New Riders, Bob Dylan, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton,
The list could go on forever, just recalling it now, I realize what a privileged life I have had.

This one seemed doomed to predators, too. Flapped, but couldn’t get off the ground.

It’s called an Imperial Moth. They won’t fly until night. They are supposed to use camouflage to avoid predators, looking like a yellow/brown leaf laying on the ground.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.4C and it's presently 12.4C, mostly cloudy & fairly calm.

Gees, that 'shingles' vaccination is an embuggerance. I can use my left shoulder but it's a 'reminding' sore. <sigh> Oh well...

It's 'into town' day for a script, something's at the PO, petrol for the ute and groceries.

That's about it, take care all.

Good Afternoon,

RS, are you going to burn all of that or was it PT decking ?

Yes, it was PT decking.

Don’t plan on burning any of it at this point - will just let it decompose naturally, along with the rest of the stuff in the brush pile.

Judging from the current state of decomposition, it probably won’t take all that long … especially if it gets buried at the bottom of the pile where it will stay wet.

I know at my CT home, I have to bring it to the transfer station and get weighed in, because they consider it demolition ! I was telling Dennis the other day that I once cut up an entire deck and sent it to the dump piece meal in the barrels you put out front for trash pickup ! Anyways sounds like you made good progress on that project !

Thanks.

Yes somewhat decent progress I guess.

Leaves me with another 4 joists cleared that can now be taken down.

Didn’t get any more done today, was too wet.

Did get the cattle panels moved up to the shop and all the galvanized fencing posts removed out of the van and over by the barn.

Also mowed down a lot of the weeds over there and did some mowing on the west side of the house before more rain chased me back inside.

Guess Who, Elton John, Barry Manilow, BS&T, best show Elton John, most enjoyable Barry Manilow

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I forgot I saw Elton John also. He pouted because he didn’t get the applause he thought he should.
