LOLOL, I wondered whether you would see that connection !
But no, all is Tranquil as the evening sets in.
Spouse is out in the garden somewhere with a friend.
It will be Beverage Time when they come in.
No rain as yet....
I am highly trained at spotting connections!
(that doesn't mean I don't miss one occasionally)
Beverage time has already begun here.
The roast beast, at least the edges that I have nibbled, is exceedingly good!
Might be back later...depending.
I have been referred to as a Bull in a China Shop before too. :)
OK, weather report: 59*F in Macon, Ga this morning.
Supposed to be 52 tonight and 48 tomorrow night. Wow.
OK, medical report: will see the Dr. 0930 Monday morning, will know more then. Right now, I am not a happy camper, was supposed to be healed by now, it is not working, back on the meds.
He better have some good answers for me.
Well good. I'm tired of tiptoeing around trying not to make a sound.
Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well this am RTL!
Lovely Sunday morning here.
Sorry to learn of your discomfort, Snakeymon.
Listening to The Cricket in Colombo, Shri Lanka.
Just started.
West Indies/Shri Lanka in the World 20/20 Final.
Big game.
Am on the back deck where I have been spending the last couple hours sipping coffee and watching the world wake up.
Now the humans are beginning to stir, which means boat motors and such. Ah well, was nice to have it to myself for a while.
Will settled into a maple tree at the edge of the lake. Perhaps I can sneak down and get a picture of him later.
I suspect that he is actually not a juvenile Great Horned after all, but a barred owl. Don't see them here much.
Never could get a good enough view of him in the dark.
He's decided to hang out where I can see him better today but still doesn't want humans getting too close. Did manage to get a postable pic though.
(note: he is actually a lot darker than this in real life. Had to mess the the brightness so that you could see clearly as it was about 30 feet away and in shadow.)
Some debate whether he is a William or a Wilhelmina. I'm not going to catch it and flip it over to check.
I've never seen one on the property, maybe because it's not uncommon to have great horned owls here. Great horned owls are larger and they eat barred owls. Anyway, kinda cool to have it hang out here the past few days.
Looking forward to the progress reports.
I'm assuming that the batteries will go on the rectangular framework in the back. Then of course, you will need a cargo deck above them.
Yeah, gotta have that.
Might need an extra battery for the stereo!
Or maybe a solar roof?
edit
Watching the countdown to the lauch.
Hoping to catch a glimpse!
Stupid clouds!
Even though I could see a star just to the south.
Oh, Well!
Gonna spend some time w/M'lady.
Carry on.
Forgot to say thanks...sorry!
Thanks!
Good Morning!
Please refer to Foxxy's Blog, comment number 96 for important information.
No caffeine and bed rest is "not" going to one of the good answers you were looking for.
:(
I'm hoping he doesn't break "Frankie" too bad!
Yep, Will is a barred owl.
I love those guys.
I have a "Owl choir" behind my house nightly.
Between them and the Hawks and racoons, a snake doesn't stand a chance around here.
:)
(although the population of this county will go up by 50% next month, at which point I'll be counting the days until April)
Funny, barred owls have a reputation of being very vocal, but this guy has barely made a sound. Reckon he's trying to keep his private hangout a secret.
I think it was Saturday night, he hadn't responded to my imitation of a great horned except to turn his head and look at me funny from a distance. I have speakers on the deck that connect to the laptop. Played the recording of a barred owl from the wikipedia page and he went ballistic...literally.
Swooped down towards the deck, thought he was gonna land on me before he realized it was a trick and went back to his perch.
Watching and listening to all the critters beats a movie or ballet any day.
Thank you! I'm starting the week optimistic at least.
Hope you have a great one as well!
RTL? Pottery?
Hoping for a good report.
Sounds like a "Pre-Op" ward around here.
My only useful experience would be hospital maintenance in case the back up Gen set switchgear won't take over in a power outage.
When the big dog, Jupiter, pulled me into the air chasing a raccoon I came down without one toe nail and possible fractures in the small bones (phalanges to you guys) of the left foot.
Since I had planned to work the next day I cut a yogurt container in half (after washing it) and duct taped it on the toe of the sandles. When I eventually got to the clinic for an X-ray Tloml came back to look for me and reception said:
"Is he the guy with the Yogurt container on his foot?"
LOL
Well, I'll award you points in 2 categories.
Creativity
Humor
well i over did it this weekend a really messed up my back grrrrr
Take it easy Todd. Hope you feel better soon!
I'm "still tryin'". Gotta go load the pickup with sundry tools and wander in to one daughter's place. She wants to build stairs and ramps down a steep face of old fill and garbage earlier owners tipped off the edge of the lawn.
Have two more to go, one more on the left leg next Tues the 16th, and then a long one on the right leg on Nov 5th. Looks like I'll be hobbling in to vote the next day!
Told me to start walking and exercising the leg more and more each day so I came home and worked in the garden for an hour. :)
Time to put the leg up now though!
See you later!
2 more?
Does the term Glutton for Punishment mean anything to you?
Oh...wait a minute. That was a dumb question...You're a Ranger.
Glad you're okay except for the "normal".
Hey...I think that's the first time anyone ever called you "Normal". Hmmmm.
All's well, all over my body, since Saturday.
That's why you did not hear anything. I had to catch-up on all the stuff and whatnot that was pending.
About to head for the airport. Lady Pott's sister and Hubby (from UK) arrive at 4:30. For 2 weeks.
Going to be a bit Hectic around here.
He's good with his hands and knows how to wield a hammer and stuff.
So I'll keep him busy....
It's 92F, and no rain.
just saying' .....
:):))
Wait...Lady Pottery couldn't possibly have a hubby from the UK. She has a hubby from Trinidad.
I'm sure you just mis-typed!
:o)
Drive carefully friend!
Grass is gonna be a foot tall before it dries out enough to mow!
WEll, not as far as we know, anyway.....
All's well with everything.
Going to eat.
Mañana !
Heck of a light show last night to the east.
The crew that was suppose to come this morning and trim the power line out back called and said they couldn't make it.
A tornado touched down about 25 m east of me last night.
2500 people out of power.
I told him to take his time and not to bring that bad mojo to my house :)
Wow snakers, sounds like Dr Frankiepoo is saving the worst for last :(
Waiting for the "last" check to clear or what?
You have my sympathy.....but my dad can still beat your dad. :)))
Rob, nice owl.
Mine out back even respond to the Gomer Pyle hoot-hootie-hoooo at the height of hell-raising season :)
Watched an Eagle in the back pasture chase a large Cattle Egret out of the field this morning. He treed him in a big oak (smart egret)and flew straight to back of the pasture and landed on the ground. Apparently they were having a "grasshopper rights" dispute. That's the first time I've ever seen an Eagle hopping across the ground following the cows. Too funny. :))
Good!
Have a great night man!
Shep,
"grasshopper rights" dispute
That is funny!
Lots of rain and light show tonight.
Nice and cool out though. Good sleeping weather.
The fast moving trough (finally moving) is causing some issues with formerly abused vertebrae. Can't take the laptop outside because it's too damp, can't stand to sit at this desk any longer, so I'll call it a night now.
Good news is dryer air will be moving in shortly, which will make me feel a lot better.
So...Will decided it's to wet to hunt any more tonight and has gone to roost. Think I'll do the same in short order.
Take good care and rest well folks!
See ya tomorrow!
-Hood Out.
Jittery as I count down the days!!
for the morning, that is.
Roosters are being very loud, and one seems to have a sore-throat.
You are welcome. You are QMBFPOP after all!
Jitters understandable. Hang in there!
If you need to vent and jittery frustration, well, that's what friends and blogs are for!
Pottery,
I don't know what you guys call Roosters that are noisy at 5 am.
Around here I call them lunch!
Sunny, 70 F
precip down to 20%
Back is happier.
THE DAM RACCOONS WOKE ME UP AGAIN AT 3 AM.
Went back to bed though, 55*F here in Macon this morning.
Will have to put a light jacket on to work in the gardens!
Must have coffee and apple fritters first though. :)
Good Morning.
Can't vouch for how well it works, but I heard that spraying a solution of ammonia and water will deter raccoons.
Don't know why they keep coming back there if there is nothing to eat. Guess they just like messing with you? Maybe you have a light that attracts big juicy bugs?
I ignore them and let them be racoons "until they start climbing my house looking for a way in"...then I spray them with buckshot.
But then, snakers lives in a neighborhood, maybe I'll loan him my baby seal club.
:)))
Toss a few shrimps or spray fish sauce in the neighbor's yard?
Sometimes a diversion is better than a frontal assault.
(okay, don't anyone get mad...just kidding)
RTL: you haven't yet had that meeting with the doc where you explain how walking and exercise is translated in Ranger speak as put on jump boots, jungle camo, flak vest and work in garden.
Drove BIL and his son to north Penna for tests. We stopped off here for break and coffee. Owner, ret FF told us about 18 yr old who put together this vid.
Thanks for posting it.
