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 · May 26

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 · May 26

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

ShawnOL · May 26

Mmmmmm. Pigs in a blanket.

He probably took his own.

Panang Curry time!

Rdp77 · May 28

This part is comical though…

Ever seen how fish sauce is made?

Stubble · May 28

Yep! They were fresh at some point in time...

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 · May 29

Congrats to your son.

Took a walk on the beach

ShawnOL · May 29

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

silvermouse · May 29

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
