Cleaned out the hummingbird feeders and put them up. Faye saw one in town the other day, small female, so it must be time

I've had my feeders out for a week. Haven't seen any birds up on the mountain yet.

This last winter it was so cold that it prevented me from working in my studio. Most days inside it was in the mid 40's. Ten ft ceilings and 5 36 by 60 inch windows and 36' by 36' footprint make it hard to heat even with a ceiling hung propane heater and a wood stove. The roof is galvanize metal and after 35 years is leaking and the flying squirrels have torn up the insulation on the second floor.
I am going to start the winterization with a new roof. Had a guy come by and look at it today and another roofer is going to come by tomorrow. I built my studio by cutting the trees, hauling the logs to a old time sawmill and working at the sawmill while the logs were cut into 2x6's and 2x8's to frame the walls and roof. I did most all the work my self including nailing all the metal on the roof, wiring and plumbing. Getting to old to do that kind of work these days although when the new roof is on I will climb up my extension ladder, haul up a press of Peter's finest and sit and burn one to celebrate.5 -

Like waxing foundation outside, but this week has been a little hectic. Down to my last 170 (give or take ) and done for the night.

Got a contract for a new metal roof for my studio. I looked at five contractors. With the thirty five year guarantee it will be good until I am one hundred and thirteen years old.

Some of you know how my power went out just before 6pm on Saturday. I was away and was notified by neighbors as well as a text from the utility company. I came home to two bucket trucks in the alley behind my house, and two old electricians working to remedy the situation. Because I'm the old guy in the Progressive commercials that can't not talk to people doing their job, I asked how it was going and what they suspected caused this, since the weather was good when it happened. The guy up top said, "Mylar balloon shorted out the wires," and said every time there's a "celebration of life," and they release all the balloons, the same thing happens.
Anyway, today I was out back doing the first mowing of the season and came across this souvenir...

One of the guys on the vHerf thought your story was familiar... but I trust you.
I've got a dehydration situation going on, two screens of cinnamon apple rings, strawberries that are on their way out, and red bell pepper strips from the garden. Got it started and now I'm out back waiting for the rain.

You may not want to mix anything pungent like peppers with fruits.
If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

Sloppy job but it's done. The roof has a steeper pitch than I reckoned so I couldn't walk up to the damage but managed to just reach it from the ladder. Hey Peter I think you are a bit younger than I, so I recommend you hire someone; I am old enough to make.bad decisions again (doddering old fool) you have a ways to go before you qualify for that exemption

You've got me by, what, a whopping 4 years, I think. Don't worry; I can dodder with the best of 'em.
Me and ladders never got along, so I stay off them for the most part.
I put air in my bicycle tires today and went for my first bike ride. Only 20 minutes, but it's a start.

The bell peppers turned into toothpicks, they really shrunk down. Everything went much faster than the recipe, I used the mandolin to slice the apples, and my thumb, so I think they were a bit thinner than the recipe called for.

I had to throw the dogs into lockdown as I was outside enjoying my cigar due to a nearby skunk. Luckily none of my dogs got sprayed tonight, I think Gigi has gotten the clue, she was growling and shaking but didn't try to go confront the skunk tonight.

Greased all the fittings on the tractor yesterday, and then just sat out on the tailgate of the truck and finished a cigar from Aganorsa Leaf while enjoying the breeze, 74 degrees, smell of honeysuckle flowing through the air.
