Glad you like it, i got my shoes wet just to take that picture. I had to get it lol.great pics, I love the behind the curtain view!
I was in a division aboard one of the ships I served on in the Navy that maintained the fork lifts. It was an underway replenishment ship so we had lots of fork lifts. Try driving one on a pitching and rolling ship. We were always repairing crash damage. We never lost one over the side, lol.I hated driving the electric stand up fork lifts when i worked at a warehouse.
Plus it was all messed up and confusing.... left was right, right was left, down was up and up was down.... So i used the sit down toyota allll the time lol.
That big 15,000# FL looks like some fun![]()
I was in Iceland one February, I remember black black cold looking seas, cold as fk with wind blowing steady, the smell of fish in our rental car & fking expensive....We went to the Blue Lagoon too but I didn't have the balls to get into the water it seemed like - 100 with the wind blowing and it was about 50ft from change rooms to the water.....I could see me getting into the water.... but that 50ft back out soaking wet was a hard no fking way....We could here people in the pools but there was so much steam we couldn't see anyone......It was a 3 night lay over offered by Iceland Air after a flight to SpainThis is a place in Iceland where Green Fields, Yellow River, Black Beach, and Blue Sea meet.

Btw your seeds a grove bag and a germinator shipped out to you usps on Monday. Got seeds from @MysticEpipedon and @CannaGranny and a couple from me. Grape runtz is a keeper. So sticky. Presses real nice.
Did you sweep up after yourself?

Well yes, that was in training.....you don't go leaving a mess behind......That was in the hospital but most of my work was construction...high rises, warehouse, Apartment blocks, A lot of homes when I worked in California, track homes.Did you sweep up after yourself?

None of this stuff has worked on my phone in weeks, now it does all the sudden lol.i think so?
I know or can look up the syntex for colours or other changes but have no idea how to just do it from the phone. Blurry text is cool, never used it before.None of this stuff has worked on my phone in weeks, now it does all the sudden lol.
I sometimes get people who insist on tipping me, even forcing money into a shirt pocket if I tell them no. They must just see a skinny old man in dirty old clothes, slaving away for The Man.Did you sweep up after yourself? For some reason everyone acts surprised when I pick up a broom![]()
Summer doesn't end until the hummingbirds are gone.Meteorological fall begins today, Sept 1. It’s raining and cold here in the northern half of kalifornia!
I’m still in the dry section, but there is a pretty impressive storm moving down the left coast!
This year, storms have over-performed at every opportunity, I think this is going to be another!
Yes obi-wan. I fiddled around last night after realizing I was in the dark this whole time.Hmmmm

These guys seem to think differently~!
I always say Canadians store their hate in the geese.Flying rats
They've been trained to fly down and shit on your golf courses and green spaces......we don't have a real strong military so we train geese to drop shit bombs.....its not personal they're in training for when the real shit hits the fanI always say Canadians store their hate in the geese.

I'm moving slowly in the pipe making direction again...I have some wood, I ordered a new bench grinder / polishing wheel.....I'm going to up grade my pipes by using acrylic pipe stems and polishing them. I have only been using oil on them but the shine fades after a while and I think the acrylic is better to draw from.I always say Canadians store their hate in the geese.
Canada geese only pretend to migrate, these days. I think they just punch a clock, fly around in V formation, punch out and return to their families each evening. They put on a good show, but they never leave.View attachment 19644

There's a pond in my neighborhood where someone put a couple of tundra swan decoys and a coyote decoy on land. The geese don't like it, at all. I think it's the tundra swans that worry them.Ruining our small lakes 10k geese at a time...
Doesn't fool the one's around here. They added two swans to a local lake who have since popped out a youngin or two. They're all homies now.There's a pond in my neighborhood where someone put a couple of tundra swan decoys and a coyote decoy on land. The geese don't like it, at all.

These are since last time, about 3 days ago. 24 leaves mostly from bottom locations. A few a bit higher up. None from top 12”.

I’m hoping this is normal but I’ve never grown outdoors before. I bumped the feeding to 7-14-23 the last two feedings as I thought N was to low.
She’s at approximately day 27 of flower.

Hate to screw it up now. For all I know it’s the two weeks of rain, heat and high humidity juxtaposed with cold and dry this week?
Yeah I tried that stuff with a decoy owl. Big barred owl came in, saw her and fell in love with her. He has courted her, bit the tips of her ears off, knocks her over and I shudder to think what else..Doesn't fool the one's around here.

Good afternoon @CannaGrannyMornin @Zen_seeker !
So, are you pulling these off or are they falling off like this?
Na they bug us too. Fill grass school yards and parks. Cross roads in mass blocking traffic. Argh.I always say Canadians store their hate in the geese.
Millennials, they no longer leave home.Canada geese only pretend to migrate, these days. I think they just punch a clock, fly around in V formation, punch out and return to their families each evening. They put on a good show, but they never leave.
