I go on a walk most every morning after 32oz of hot Peter's famous roasted bean juice and a robusto. Lately I have been humping two gallons of water in a backpack the first 1/2 mile. There is a small pond loaded with tadpoles in the woods along my route. The pond is drying up so I give it a drink to help the tadpoles live. Frogs and toads are disappearing in these parts so as a caretaker I'm trying to do my part. My legs are getting stronger but I sure as he ll wish it would rain.
When I was a kid, I was in the "Little Britches Rodeo" program. I rode steers and never managed to stay on long enough to register a score. Good times...

Up in my studio at 4:00AM my usual time. Ground some of Peters famous beans and brewed 32 OZ. Lit a Hyena and carved till daylight. Lit out on my hour and a half walk carrying 2 gallons of water for the tadpoles I'm trying to keep alive. A half mile in I stopped and gave the tadpoles a drink. Nice mile and a half walk alongside a little trout stream. Saw Indian Paintbrush blooming. Started climbing out of the bottom up an old log trail. 25 minute climb to the top of a ridge. 20 more minutes and back at my studio and carving again. Got work to do in the garden.
I really appreciate the many trees the city of Milwaukee plants along our streets, (as an aside, in much of the 20th century MKE had a socialist gov't. and they did much to improve the lives of the people, including creating more parks than any other city), and it seems the majority are either ash, maple, or linden (also called basswood). The majority of the trees on my street are lindens and they are in bloom right now, and their sweet fragrance is truly delightful. With highs around 80 and reasonable dew points my windows stay open 24/7, and the perfume of the lindens is hitting me as I sit here in my recliner, getting ready for my day.
I noticed a post about linden flower yesterday on Instagram, it's supposed to have health benefits when steeped as a tea and it sounds like it would be tasty. YMMV.

And that a socialist government was good for the citizens? Proves there are good and bad aspects for most political flavors. Yeah, I am a moderate socially liberal - fiscally conservative, so sue me, lol.

I was talking to a coworker and was describing someone else, and I said "They're not the brightest tool in the shed." I will never recover, I think I need to get a new job now, and I probably need to move to a different part of the country.
Sitting on the front porch, enjoying watching the honey bees flitting all over the lavender bush, loading themselves up with pollen. There must be 18-20 of them.

You need to play that off as intentional.
Example: Does a bear sht in the woods?
or
Is the Pope catholic?
I prefer to combine them and go with Does the Pope shït in the woods?

Why were you describing me to your coworker?

Not a problem glad to help my bunkmate
That's just too much information.

Had a great day mowing and gardening, got my heart rate up into the 130-140 range for a good half hour.
The rodeo is in town this weekend 25 miles away in Jackson County, first time ever going to one.
You went just for the barrel racers, right?
Maybe...

Problem is the pepper in the ketchup it's supposed to be salt
Got home from work yesterday and ate a large can of Chile. Took a nap at 3:30 pm. Woke up from nap at 6:25 this morning.

About 28 miles on the bike today, moderately hilly, averaged about 12 mph.
Kinda slow. Was it an e-bike?

LOL, no. All human powered, by my spindly 55-year-old legs. Some of those hills were done in gear 1-2 and even 1-1, around 5 mph.

So your saying MKE no longer has a socialist government.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
