yeah!
Natrah, you always show us the most tasty looking food! Yum.
I looked just like Mr Fre this morning...
Oooh N got a Crown with lunch, I'm jealous!
A little bored today. It got cold again, Kerry's gone and I watched a college football game today with 5 missed field goals...like 27yd misses! 1 of those teams won that playoff game and they will advance AND they still need a FG kicker. I told Kerry on the phone...im going back to college!
All in fun....i wrapped her Christmas gifts today while she's gone. We aren't 25 so we aren't stupid at Christmas but i don't miss things throughout the year. Kerry will be 60 in April and regardless that her skin is gorgeous, she's mentioned the plexiderm products several times over the year. Despite my urging her to splurge on herself once in a while she won't buy them because they cost about double the cost of Silver. Let that sink in! Right? I didn't make a big deal when she told me.
Heck I spend hundreds at the weed store each month...i don't feel a bit bad about it but she can't let herself " waste" money. We have to work on that.

I'm much like your Kerry . . I'm just a simple gal...caint help it....
Good morning everyone!
Jeff I hope you enjoy that game as the BBC says when commenting about the English Cricket team against Australia in the Ashes we are heading for the fastest defeat in cricket history! Dad would have been saying "they shouldn't come back"!

I've been looking like Mr Fre myself in the mornings lately too. Tell Kerry to find Yves Rocher. You can order through the mail or online and all of their products are nice. You can also get a lot of it free. It's very gentle and helpful for everyone's skin hair etc. it's French from Canada. You can't get the other goodies right now thanks to the tariffs but I still love them. They used to include cosmetic bags, blankets, and all kinds of different things that make a nice addition to a gift for someone. Now it's free products which I think is just as good 
The football only got worse last night in the pro NFL league. The team that I once tried out for got beaten by Philly. I didn't watch today. I played out in my shed and swapped out the vid card in the animal cam. I caught this big buck lurking last night!
I appreciate the heads up on the Yves stuff but I already took out a loan to get her plexiderm stuff and it's all wrapped and under the tree. Boxed with a bible so she can't guess! LOL
I did get us a couple things for next summers trip. We have a new road atlas and a National Parks book coming. I like traveling the old fashioned way and besides, there's no GPS or Nav working in your car in a lot of places that we plan on going to.
I also have been looking at using a 12v fridge/freezer for the trip. It is a little more complicated than buying a fridge and plugging it into the power outlet in the car. What do you do at night when the car isn't on? It weighs 65-70 lbs, do you really want to take it into a hotel room at night? Will it kill your cars battery.....what if we stay somewhere for a couple days and don't use the car....a whole slew of things to consider. We usually use a 100 quart base cooler with icepacks in the car and just take the smaller one into the hotels at night and I'd still want that convenience.
So after my typical "read the internet of things" for 12 hrs and learning about then discounting iso switches, circuit breakers and other gobbledygook I've come up with a relatively cost effect and safe system design.
I will buy a 12v 100AH lifepo4 battery to stow under the rear deck lid where there's a huge storage space. I'll install a 40 dollar dc/dc 10amp lithium charge controller under the hood somewhere and simply run a set of small wires like trailer wiring under the car to the rear and up to charge the second battery. Then I just connect the second battery to the fridge with it's connector. Total cost over the cost of the 400-500 dollar fridge is $165. and that size battery will power the fridge for FIVE days by itself without recharging so we should be good to go. It disconnects when the car is off and it cannot drain the main battery and cannot cause the alternator to burn out by current overdraw or cook the 2nd battery. Sweet solution!
Problems overcome.....I haven't made a decision yet so I'm not sure we're gonna do all this stupid crap yet but if you don't really understand what you are getting into, you will end up paying for it so I had to work this all the way through.
I can't really justify the price, it's kinda like a lawn robot.....it's cool and it makes life easy but I'll never justify it costing 4 times what my 15 yr old push mower cost and still worked perfectly after 15 yrs! Anyway, aren't you guys so lucky to hear of all my stupid stuff....? LOL sorry

Jeff, I appreciate it, I don't feel so bad for all my lil farm struggles...
for us lazier folks they make elecvtric generators. My buddy has one that runs his mini fridge for longer than he can camp with his kids!
Dear Jeff,
Don't worry the English Cricket team have now disappeared having been defeated by a depleted Australian team in eleven days!
Natrah
How wonderful to have them visit...Here is one of my kids . . José a Yellow Naped Amazon
This poor kid had scissor Beak when I got him, it's an ongoing treatment

I had a Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo as a child who squawked every time a Volkswagen beetle went past the house because he thought it was dad coming home.

I have 2 Lesser Sulfur Crested Too's. Freddie is 25yrs old, he had two cancer surgeries on the skin of his Keel bone, and Cavi is 15 yrs Old (Picture of my late Partner Penny and Freddie after a surgery)

Freddie was/is a feather picker, we adopted several, as many folks do NOT want a bird that is featherless. They are just as adorable as all the others we have, Just like tortles, they all have their different personalities, that make's them so loved and special
