Time for a beer!!!!!

When is NOT a good time?
I had a beer myself last night
I like one after doing yard work or sweating it out in the garage.
I've been painting Kellys motorcycle wheels and installing new tires while I'm waiting on the parts to repair her transmission.
It was almost friggin' 90 degrees yesterday!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I don't drink when i'm teaching or before visiting Moroccan friends.
Otherwise, yeah, it's always a good time.
That's hot!
Low 70's here today which is good for me.

I don't drink when I'm teaching either -
The education authority took my mini bar away!
I was only using it for life skills - honestly!

Morning CDRdwellers! Weather today!!!!!: Cool! Finally! But it god me by surprise and I think I may be losing some of the new cacti planting that I started couple of moths ago for the babies' future outdoor enclosure. Crap! Thing couple of them got little frostbites from the ground level! Last night I brought every new plant in (as much as I hate dragging pots back and forth. Ugghh! I'll be real upset if those couple plants croak!

Good morning and happy Friday-ish (I'm off for the next five days)
Six hours of sleep last night and I only coughed about 300 times.

End of the week for you then Ed
Hope you enjoy your five day freedom.
Any plans for New Years Eve?

Hopefully you've caught them in time. What about making little bubble wrap covers?
It's unseasonably warm here - spring bulbs are growing already a few months ahead of themselves and my Camillia tree is starting to flower again - the postman was wearing shorts today! Its about 16 -17'C and sunny!! Almost as warm as our summer.

Afternoon, Lyn.
Much better than I deserve, thanks!

For the folks who wanted to go elk-watching with me.


I should clarify that this is not a totally natural situation. The elk are wild, and come and go as they please, but in this area they are heavily overpopulated, which generates a lot of complaints about them getting into hay barns and fields and such, and a lot of demands for the herds to be culled by special hunts. To keep the peace, the wildlife department maintains several areas where they truck in hay during the part of the year when heavy snow makes grazing difficult in the high country. In this particular canyon, the hay is scattered in long swaths so the elk can "graze" more or less naturally on it. The project has been going on for years, and the elk know which canyons the hay will be in, so when the snow gets deep, they head for those canyons. The one road into the canyon is blocked off at the end during the winter to keep people from taking advantage of the feeding program to poach elk, but you can get in to a point where you can watch elk come and go, and hear them talking to each other.

Hi Adam
it's a beautiful day here!
I've spent the morning unblocking the guttering with a home made guttering unblocker.
Thought it was moss but turns out part of next doors satellite dish was blocking the down pipe causing it to overflow.
Think I'll hurl it through their window!
