Want to smoke a cigar but the ac is on and the windows are all closed. A pipe will have to do.

Why do all the books show your new hives coming in the middle of the afternoon, not at 10:45 at night between downpours. Only 8 stings and 15 minutes time we had them off and set.

White collar worker's dream: Ah, the easy life of a farmer, just grow stuff and the money rolls in while you sit on the porch.

No, but my wife did. I thought he was cool. Only a matter of time until the dog gets him

Garter snake, good for gardens due to their diet. I once had a small one for a pet, used to put it in my shirt pocket. Woke up one night with the full Moon streaming onto my face., glanced over and saw the snake staring at me. I let it go the next morning.

Fractured wrist healed, problem now is de quervain's syndrome, got a corticosteroid shot, may take a year to resolve or need surgery. Onward!

I had the dequervains last year, the shot cleared it up nicely in a few weeks, which I was glad of because I didn't want another surgery. I also wore a brace on that wrist for a while. Just a soft brace seemed to do the job pretty well during the day, but I wore the ****-up splint at night. When it starts popping or clicking now I know that it's time to ease off and let it rest. I thought I'd screwed up the carpal tunnel again.

You sound like an old man calling them a bunch of old men.

Only an old man would say that

I'm getting my tires changed. Busy shop so I walked over to IHOP for lunch. I should have brought some tobacco with me for the wait.

Does IHOP have hot dogs

Yakster

I had the BLT with Hash Browns off their value menu, $6 for most, $7 for us Bay Area folk. I didn't think they have hot dogs.

Yakster

You could get the pork sausage links and roll them in a pancake to get close.

ShawnOL

Mmmmmm. Pigs in a blanket.

Is that a layer of fat and a layer of meat?

Son finished HS, spending some time with us before he moves on to the next thing

ShawnOL

Congrats to your son.

Took a walk on the beach

ShawnOL

Must be great being that close to the water, at least in the summertime.

silvermouse

It is, but only if you prefer gobs of noisy oiled up people rather than tranquility.

Yesterday, I went and bought some flowers and some hot peppers. Today, I spent an hour prepping the soil and planting everything. It took less than an hour and a half, but all that bending, getting on and off my knees, etc, in the sun just about did me in.

Some years ago, I heard about letting a hose trickle under a tree for a few hours. I took that idea a step further with a couple of 6gal. buckets that I drilled 6 holes, 1/4" each, around the bottom of them. I place them about 3' apart, at the drip lines of the branches - they say the ends of the roots is a good place to water a tree - who knows? I fill up the first bucket, and when it's full, the hose gets switched to the 2nd bucket, and it fills while the first one drains out. The buckets get leap-frogged around the tree, maybe a dozen fills/drains. I read a paper that gave a ratio of the overall width of the tree and the number of gallons of water.

Are you experiencing a drought up there?

Edit: the weather thread answered my question
