My Uncle George was a USFS Ranger from the 30's to the 60's based out of Redding CA.
 
He hiked up daily on his days on the job to 'his' fire tower for 30 + years for his 9 to 5 with his USFS Issued Head Shed on.

He was physically assaulted by the weather during the fire season months on his foot hike up to and down from the fire tower. Hit by lightning 5 times on that exposed ridge line just as an example of the harsh weather.
A thunderstorm wind blew him off his feet off the trail and broke his arm on the way down.
Walked back up the next morning. Gumption.

Some of the most eloquently described to me ever with no bull shit relevant truly dangerous wildlife encounters were described to me by him and has saved my bacon countless times !   
 
He was 99 when the forest left him eating fat back bacon and looking at the best Pine Tree you ever saw sipping a whiskey.

The best Scholar of the Wild I've ever met bar none.

I miss his counsel here tonight. He was one of the hands that hewed the wood above us.

I have his USFS helmet lightning scorched, dented, battered yet glove leather soft to ones forehead well maintained helmet.

It is my most treasured possession.

The History of New Year’s Resolutions
The custom of making New Year’s resolutions has been around for thousands of years, but it hasn’t always looked the way it does today.

Phyl, good article on New Year's resolutions, I always make some and as most, they fall to the wayside! Great 365, the ravens look so sweet, not something one usually associates with ravens! But they have babies too! And they are sweet looking!

BL, your Uncle George sounds like a wonderful and wise person who inspired you to live the life you are living. Adventure and an enormous thirst to be one with the wild... Hats off to Uncle George and his shed of antlers! Thanks for the Neil Young!  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=Neil+Young+Harvest+&&mid=AAA136BBDE9D86D16F30AAA136BBDE9D86D16F30&&FORM=VRDGAR

Lori, hoping this new year is a good one for you and Destini! I's sorry she already made New Years Eve plans without you!  ;D ;D (Destini would never do that...)

Lani, thank you for the remembrance pictures of Mom, and here we are at Chapter 13! Who would have thought people who never met each other could become forever friends. We have been through a lot and have a lot more joy and some sorrow to share in the coming years... And you have 6 more days with Aly and Dewey! Glad Shannon was able to be there for the Ball Drop!

karen, you did good yesterday with your walking and doing chores! Thanks for the update on the SWFL little one...

My resolutions:

EAGLES  A nice relaxing NYE for you both.  :)   Do you have professional haircut training?

TIG  Packers probably were lucky enough to play their best game ever this season.

BL  Rutt ;D ;D ;D      Like your saying about 1 safe step to the next!  What an amazing Uncle you had.  One tough dude.   Lots of life lessons you have obviously incorporated into your own.

KAREN   You had a very active day.  Pretty quiet around here last night.  I heard two fireworks go off around 1:15 - Tim didn't hear anything.   Think Alabama will take it tonight?

LANI    You stayed up to post.   ;D   Chapter 13 - a long time but has gone by so fast.

LORI and PHYL also staying up late.

PHYL   Bonding ravens  :)

CLYNN   Good words to remember for the new year.

Got Barb and Tom to the airport in the dark - that place is always crowded.  :o

Lori - Happy New Year...good to see you!

Lani - Another year of the Beak  :-*  Love the pics of Mom, HM & HD, and the North's! Jeff would not trust me either to trim his hair...LOL  It has to be his girl that does it.

E4E - Sounds like you all had a good day yesterday.  We didn't leave the house either.  We took the Christmas decor down inside and out.  The kitties were happy.  Everything is back to normal. 

karen - Yum, chili and boiled shrimp!  Awww, so glad to hear that M is on the baby. 

clynn - Love your resolutions.  How are the kitties?

For the hoomans...These almond cupcakes are soft, moist and extra fluffy. Each cupcake is filled with luscious vanilla pastry cream and smothered with a creamy custard-based frosting. Both the cupcake and frosting have a wonderful almond flavor and the toasted almonds adds the perfect amount of crunch in each bite.

2024 in Chinese Tradition is the year of the Dragon..... symbolizes power, nobleness, honor, luck, and success

The Komodo dragon is a large lizard!...

Well our vikings demonstrated none of this last evening....I chose to fall asleep before the end of the first quarter and heard the final score this morning....I have no idea which QB they will chose to play next week. I think we've run out using up 4 so far, LOL...

Too bad there isn't such a thing as the Year of the Moose!...couldn't have hurt.

I'm watching the Tournament of Roses parade on TV ...  Hi PUFF

Service at dinner was below par last night. The food was good albeit late and not hot. I brought most of mine home.
Well... "there is always next year, Vikes..." An annual retort by fans.  ::)

Lani - A wonderful evening in your household last night!  I love how you posted your Happy New Year at midnight!!! ;D    Love all the BEs - especially Mom Decorah from 2012. :-*

Lori - Beautiful post this morning - love all the New year images!!

Phyl - Love your New Years message/image!!  Thank you for 365 and History of new years resolutions (I will come back later to read). :)    Cute kitty at the door!!

BL - Thank you for the story of your Uncle George.  What an exceptional man he was.  You definitely learned a lot of skills from him and hold onto all those great & special memories.

Clynn - Like your post this morning!  Happy new year to you & Ed and the family!

Tsk - Good question; my Mom used to be a hairdresser and she taught me how to cute my hubby's hair - been doing it for years!  I've also googled vids of how to do a basic 'man's' hair cut.    Nice of you to have taken Tom & Barb to the airport in the dark!

LisaG - It is always so fun to decorate and prepare for Christmas, but we too have already undecorated, and have everything put away until next year!  Nice to get my house back to 'normal'!

Tig - I am watching the Tournament of Roses parade right now too!  Is Puff there again?!

Hi Puff - If you are at the Parade - I know you are enjoying!!! Have a fantastic trip!!

Kb - Amazing picture!!

BBL!  Going to cook up some breakfast while still enjoying watching the parade!

Hi E4E  Clynn  Of course I'm here/there - if only in spirit.  I haven't missed too many in the last 50 years.  It was really a thrill though last year.   ;D

Chapter 13 of our RRP family.  I like the way Lori put it:

Who would have thought people who never met each other could become forever friends. We have been through a lot and have a lot more joy and some sorrow to share in the coming years...

What a great collection of memories to be a part of.

HAPPY  HAPPY  2024 To All  Confetti Toss. . .

P

No - I'm not there.  I'm here in Darien with the TV -  Oooooo I remember the jet roar.  I wouldn't be able describe the roar.  Lots to cause an echo, too.  LOUD.

Repeat at the stadium and game, too.  And it's a small enclosed echo chamber there, too.

Yes  I did see it tig.  I'm back on now, too.

Last talk was with Theresa in TX.  She was watching the parade and thought of me too.  She also had the same idea I had -- Why don't we set up a meet-n-greet for the Rose Bowl next year.  I've found out it's worth it.  It was really a good idea, and remember I went by myself.  Should I take names and work it out for 23-24??

HI PAULIE   Happy New Years to you as well.  ;D

LORI   I'll enjoy one of those almond cupcakes , please.  :D   WOW  You did really well with your fist collage way back then.

No, No!  Things stay up and on until my day.

Maybe that's what all the local noise was about at midnight last night.  Just kidding!  ::)

Someone a block over, still residential, put on a 15-20 minute pyro show for us last night.  Had some big "stuff", some nerve, and some left over $$$.

OoooooH so many ideas, so many thoughts.  Here's one that has nothing to do with eagles/raptors.  It's a half-hour vid of an antartica cruise.  Blew me away!  Unfortunately I'm dealing with an over-the-hill body.

Contact me and I'll share.

I went to T of R parade once when I was a teenager---Dan's HS girlfriend was attending  Pasadena College--fashion design and among the students decorating the floats that year and her parents were going to see her and took me along. It was fantastic experience .


CLynn noble resolutions; how are the kitties---keep wanting to call them either Max and  Emma or Ko-Ko and Yum_Yum.  ::)

Karen tks for the update on SWFL nest, M and egglet; glad your day went well; good luck w/ the games

Tsk  we had fireworks all evening and the abruptly ceasing at 12:01 am;  was up for a full 24 hrs and not with intention plus  12 from today thus far---all I'm saying---I was busy. Glad your middle of the dark run to airport went well and Barb/Tom got off  A-Okay.   And, arrived safely too   ;)


Lisa Jim worked today so he turned in early last night---and up at 4am ---LOL I got to tell him 'Good Morning

Paulie tks'for the NYD greeting  :-*

{{Lori}}  lovely thoughts for the NY here in Beakroom; very nice cheery BD greeting for Zippo.

KB scary Komodo Dragon for the  Chinese new year

Tig T Of R Parade--been eons since I've watched  nothing quite compares to being there.

Eagles colorful fireworks for NY greeting; arage entry, kitchen and dinning room are all undecorated the traditional red/green and burgundy/gold are all returned to their storage tubs. Leaving the living room with it's evergreen garland draped entries and stair handrails left along with the focus of the season Nativity remaining until January 6th Epiphany  when those items will go into storage.

Hi Puff

thoughtful  NY's wishes Lani

Lori  many tks for the photo update on SWFL Eagle Cam  F23 & M15 and little one E23. Sweet little ball of 'silver fluff'. Fluff ball on it's back w/ M  and the adoration between them  :-* :-* :-*

Well---pork tenderloin off the grill; collard greens and blk-eyed peas and kraut all waiting. Hope all that superstition works this year!

Phyl - That is so perfect to keep garlands and nativity up for a while longer during the holiday season. I just know your home is so warm & beautiful.

Hi Paulie - Happy New Year to you!

Puff - Okay, clearly you were at the Parade in your total whole spirit!!  I couldn't believe when they said the temp was 70 during the parade!!

Lori - Beautiful 2024 post of images and well wishes!!   Oh my gosh - sweet pics of E23!!! :-*   Thank you!!

Tsk - I give you a 'high five' for driving in the dark - I am refusing to do drive in the dark anymore.  Your eye sight is more than likely better than mine!

Puff - Our neighborhood had some loud illegal fireworks being lit - such loud booms.   My little precious Star used to get so frightened with the LOUD booming fire works. 

Lani - Thank you for your New year wishes for the Beakers. :-*

Hi Karen!

Beakers have a warm, safe, & cozy night.

BL, Amazing Shed shed by your Uncle George, I see moose antlers in there too. I can see where you get your grit from! Your Uncle George was a trailblazer, a hearty soul and a very wise man.  :)

Phyl, sweet pair of Ravens protecting themselves from the sleet in the nature video....Love the cat on the door,  thanks for the history of New Year's resolution.... Yummy dinner, I hope it all works for you, Jim and Maggie too!

Karen, has been a great weekend and Monday for football! Michigan did beat Alabama, but it was a close game! And Washington is ahead of Texas in the 3rd quarter. Thanks for sharing your SWFL Updates. Tonight F23 is on the nest and keeping baby warm and safe.

Clynn, wise thoughts for the New Year!  :)

Tsk, it was quiet last night, which I'm sure the critters appreciated... Glad to hear Barb and Tom are safely settled into their Florida home for the winter.

Lisa, thank you for helping me Identify Decorah HM and HD. I didn't date my Pinterest pic of them when I moved them into Pinterest. And I couldn't find the original pic in my photo file. So thanks.... oh my, you and Jeff have been busy putting your decorations away. It'll be a couple of weeks or more before everything is packed away for ten months or so.

Kb, sorry about the Vikings! The Year of the Dragon, awesome Komodo Dragon.

Tig, Good parade and great game! But, too bad about your NYE dinner.  :(

Last night we finally decided on names for the kittens - Sam and Sophie! We tested all the names I had written down with Kelsey, and these are the ones she can say easily.  I think they are perfect!

Lani, hope you have been having a wonderful and peaceful time with Aly home, I would love a walk in your forest with both of you... The little one at SWFU is a good sign for the new year!

baz, love the cat knocking 2023 off the table...

Phyl, love your good night kitty, just watching the snow fall...  You can call my new  kids Sam and Sophie!

Lori, wonderful videos of the little one at SWFL, thank you so much! A great way to bring in the New Year!

I have to go have blood drawn for my Dr. appointment at 11:00 this morning, the Lab is open at 7:00 and I like to be there early (so I can come home and have COFFEE)! And then I have a 9:00 appointment for a perm also!

Hey owner: How obtuse can you be?.....it's obvious.

Morning all...
Lots of hoarfrost on surfaces this morning. Not yesterday but I didn't venture out on our as yet to be treated roads!....Maybe by noon I'll give it a try with Ollie...I can't step off the end of my driveway without being on a hill....so, I figure I'll find out how slippery it is pretty quick.
Hopefully the streets supervisor will respond to my e mail today..will be interesting to hear her response.
Road pretty much looks like it did now 2 days ago.

Phyl - love that part of Minnesota and how the ice/snow/frost looks so different depending on the type of tree..gorgeous. (365)

55 seconds of more daylight today....typically not noticeable until the end of this month though...heading in the right direction.

Off to start short ribs in the crockpot.

It was also Kay's birthday...

Phyl, love the 365, I have been in some of the northern Minnesota forests, but not in the winter!  They are beautiful in the summer as well! We used to canoe the Current River in Southern Missouri, one of the guides told us that the most beautiful time to canoe the river was after a good snow. I always thought it would be so peaceful and pretty but never dared to try...  I love sauerkraut, but not the kind with the caraway seeds in it. Is that the Bavarian? I made sauerkraut once, decades ago...

kb, good luck with your short ribs! And the ice, hope it diminishes some today!

This is a long but interesting read. It was on a FB page so I couldn't post the link.

McGee Equine & Livestock Farrier Service, Rescue, and Rehabilitation December 31, 2023 at 3:09 AM  ·
The Horse Manure Problem of 1894
The 15 to 30 pounds of manure produced daily by each beast multiplied by the 150,000+ horses in New York city resulted in more than three million pounds of horse manure per day that somehow needed to be disposed of. That’s not to mention the daily 40,000 gallons of horse urine.
In other words, cities reeked. As Morris says, the “stench was omnipresent.” Here are some fun bits from his article:
Urban streets were minefields that needed to be navigated with the greatest care. “Crossing sweepers” stood on street corners; for a fee they would clear a path through the mire for pedestrians. Wet weather turned the streets into swamps and rivers of muck, but dry weather brought little improvement; the manure turned to dust, which was then whipped up by the wind, choking pedestrians and coating buildings.
. . . even when it had been removed from the streets the manure piled up faster than it could be disposed of . . . early in the century farmers were happy to pay good money for the manure, by the end of the 1800s stable owners had to pay to have it carted off. As a result of this glut . . . vacant lots in cities across America became piled high with manure; in New York these sometimes rose to forty and even sixty feet.
We need to remind ourselves that horse manure is an ideal breeding ground for flies, which spread disease. Morris reports that deadly outbreaks of typhoid and “infant diarrheal diseases can be traced to spikes in the fly population.”
Comparing fatalities associated with horse-related accidents in 1916 Chicago versus automobile accidents in 1997, he concludes that people were killed nearly seven times more often back in the good old days. The reasons for this are straightforward:
. . . horse-drawn vehicles have an engine with a mind of its own. The skittishness of horses added a dangerous level of unpredictability to nineteenth-century transportation. This was particularly true in a bustling urban environment, full of surprises that could shock and spook the animals. Horses often stampeded, but a more common danger came from horses kicking, biting, or trampling bystanders. Children were particularly at risk.
Falls, injuries, and maltreatment also took a toll on the horses themselves. Data cited by Morris indicates that, in 1880, more than 3 dozen dead horses were cleared from New York streets each day (nearly 15,000 a year).

I just can't believe the emotional intelligence of this 4 year old...I'm serious.
I know of many older adults not this capable...Have to watch till the end. Just over 2 minutes.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1741957477292503449 (https://twitter.com/i/status/1741957477292503449)

Saw my first city plow truck with salt in the bed drive by....bed was not up nor the spinning wheel...
Hmm, at least they have returned from vacation. Maybe only dropping at intersections?

Lisa - I won't head out till at least noon so the hoar frost goes away and the temp close to 32..just to try it out.

Edit: Ha, the spinning of dropping salt just drove by....down the middle of my road...still, the fact they never plowed means the snow/ice along the curb line where one walks won't improve until temps melt it for long enough. But, I will be able to walk down the middle of the street sometime today me thinks. Haven't yet gotten a response to my email.

Kb, didn’t you have some things you put on your shoes to walk more safely in bad weather?   Better that rather than adding more salt to an already too salty earth!


Clynn, very busy morning for you!   Good names for the kitties!  Will sam become Sammy?

Karen - of course but with this kind of ice one still slips even with cleats on. I walk Ollie who also can pull and whom btw doesn't wear cleats, LOL. I lost my GSD Walter in his elder years when he slipped on my deck.

The industrial strength and volume poured on our highways each system is the true source of salt. Not my little neighborhood as multiple other smaller suburbs agree....broken bones and isolated people and pets do not line up with environmentally friendly either We are a designated bike and pedestrian town already....it is overzealous to not want to keep people safe and alive.

They also didn't plow which would have helped immensely.

Our trucks also are fitted with some sort of calibration system that doesn't drop too much...and a less toxic mixture.

False narratives would make this state uninhabitable in the winter....It's way under done already.

Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Hi Karen, Eagles  :)

Tsk, Mike and I can't drive at night anymore, even with glasses.

Kb, that's just like Milo, always in my face for food, even when his dish is full. He hates leftovers.  :-\ ... Enjoy your short ribs and stay warm.... oh my, this child is old soul wise on so many levels. I love how his mother is relating to him, she's down on his level and eye contact, gentle voice. His parents have instilled such a wonderful sense of a self confidence and rational reasoning in him. Goodness, I'm a bit teary. I wish I done a better job. LOL!

Phyl, thank you for today's gorgeous fly over nature video.

{{{Clynn}}} Hugs and prayers for your blood work and appts.... Love, Love, Love, new babies names for Sam and Sophie!  ;D :-* .... What a beautiful furry family of Harley, Sam and Sophie!  :-* .. new perm a great start for the new year.  :-*

Puff,   :-*

Have a good day Everyone!  ;D

Well, I'm going to wait a day to melt more before I take that walk with Ollie.

I met my mailman at the door, I know him well and he knows Ollie well, and asked him how the streets were for walking.

He said i just fell right on this street and pointed it out to me...we then had a lengthy conversation how bad it is and how unnecessary given they have plenty of salt and money this year, shaking our heads.
Hope he sues them....or reports it at least to have them wake up!

I saved the clip of my video showing him falling, mail flown everywhere. He did get up so assume he'll be sore but okay.

Of course we laughed we both could walk in the middle of the street!..it's dry there and get hit by a car.

KB  LOL hungry kitty, Maggie does that to me, frequently   :( ; I too luved the N365 today. Just lovely with the variety of conifers and other trees. Good news on the salt trucks. Your poor mailman---ouch that hurts in more places than one.
 The 4yr old, isn't there a 'condition' called 'Savant Syndrom'  ? The video had me wondering, is all.

Hi Puff

CLynn   Bavarian 'kraut has   caraway seeds in it. However, this recipe seems to cause less digestive 'upset'   

Karen   I  do know what your'e referring to Re: KB's shoes she wears when she walks Ollieman in the snow/ice. The have a special tread .      Yep. The thinner the glass more it becomes fragile--- I know with my dad's handblown Christmas ornaments cr. 1940's  'thinned' with age and became so delicate that to touch made them break in several pieces; some 'plastics' do the same, suspect decomposition  :-\

Tsk  I tend not to drive a night also ; cute penguins this AM. I think each  kitten has different  color points--- i. e. seal point and lilac point, etc., etc. some coats are cream and others are beige, etc.


Lani LOL dog in robin costume

All the Christmas  stuff is put away for the year with the exception  of a beautiful fake poinsettia that I will leave out until Easter tolls around when it will return to its home in the office closet!   I already miss my little outside tree with the colored lights!
Mailmen, neither  nor snow. Nor heat nor  cold will keep them away!

Was that a robin?   Thought it was  a turkey! 
No night driving here.  Have to say that I did not drive at night, had catsracts.  Cataracts off snd I drove at night.   No longer

Happy Day, BEAKERS!  :)

I'm in a dash, but wanted to stop by to see what's up in The Beak, and say hello to all. So, HELLO!!   ;D ;)

(((Sam and Sophie and Harley))) It's going to be a fun new year for you all!!  :-* :-* :-*

I had a short walk yesterday - by way of faster walking. LOL. Only 27 minutes, but it'll do. No walk today. Busy around the house, and getting ready for the new fridge that's coming tomorrow. Yay!

THANK YOU TO ALL who sent bird-day greetings and wishes to Zippo!  She says, "Cheep cheep!!"  That's a good thing. LOL.  ;) :D

By the way, Zippo's "official"  ::) ;D birthday is tomorrow - Jan. 3rd. I don't know her actual hatch date - I only know she was 12 years old, and had 2 previous owners, when she adopted me and came to live at my house on Jan. 3rd, 2000, which makes her 36 years old, as of tomorrow. That's why we picked the 3rd as her "birdday." But I have celebrated it with her many years on Jan. 1st, because that's a big day to celebrate many things, and it's so close to the 3rd. So I know that's why she received birthday greetings yesterday. Thank you, All! Hugs!!  :-*

My TarHeels play in an hour-and-a-half, so I have to scoot. Go Heels! (fingers crossed).  :)

Some old school acoustic pickers showed up with their guitars and they are in rare form here this eve.     

3 Gentleman not amplified at all chorusing out their vocals awesome tunes over the crackle of the bon fire. 
Shucks this is going to not royally suck is it?  Pip said.   

Wait for it their just tuning up. 

The outdoor fire pit is pumping out the BTU's up to 57° F @ a 20 Ft radius.
It's ambient about 28° F out away from it at 10 PM EST.
Clear and Calm.

Presently showering this here ear shot with awesome fire side music magic.

There are some folks and critters young and old boogieing out in the field. 3 to 67 I'm told.
   
Now when Grandmas & Grandpas dance around like kids with the kids at this time of year here ....

Pip and I are just standing back and watching it all with cheeks.

Yesterday/s Dr. appointment was good, have one more appointment this morning for an ultrasound of my carotid arteries. A1C was 6.1, blood pressure 126/80. Both kind of surprised me! Lots of specialized tests being run on all they blood they took - 4 vials! They will send all of those and more to the retinal specialist I will see next week.

Sam and Sophie this morning:

Yikes, between those pictures posted and now I realized it was 8:42 and my and my appointment was for 8:45! It's only about a mile away and I got in fine, just a few minutes late. Don't know the results, of course, but my blood pressure was 116/80. Even better than yesterday...

I was a bit confused this morning. The link to Decorah Lounge was usually in the middle, I saw Lisa's name clicked on it and ended up in the Decorah thread. LOL! Here we are in the new 2024 Beak Room!

Thank you Amy for organizing the threads for the New Year!  ;D

Phyl, love the gorgeous blue jay figurine..... Love Chickadees, ours have not migrated to the valley, sweet nature video... we'll miss seeing the meteor shower. It'll be cloudy with possibility of snow.... stunning view of Uranus.

{{{Clynn}}} perfect nature made peace sign.... Love Honey's one-eyed peek! Our tabby Weezel would do that from his snuggy perch too... Oh my, I hate heights! Working at such heights is amazing to me, and what views! ... One of the best SNL cast ever!!  8) ... awww {{{Sam and Sophie}}} so sweet and such beauties!  :-* ... good blood pressure, prayers for your appt.  :-*

Lisa, I'm happy for the kids. New Year, new adventures and memories to create in their new home!  ;D

This is Aly's last day to work for Payson Community Bridges. She and her clients have shared lots of tears these last two weeks. But, she wants them to call her anytime. I guess she's not allowed to work across state lines in this new year. She and Dewey return to Oregon on Saturday.

Time to put our manger scene away.  :(

Happy birthday Zippo!  8)

Morning Beakers!

Wow - Amy caught my attention with the new Decorah Lounge 2024! :)   Thank you Amy!! :) :)

Lani - Do you still have your tree up? I think you enjoy yours for a week or so after the new year?  Are getting any rain?  We got about an inch between yesterday evening and early this morning. :)   So glad Aly & Dewey are there with you until Saturday! :-*

Phyl - Thank you for 365 - cute chickadee!  Thank you for links  :)

Clynn - I bet the Munchkins can't wait to come over again and play with Sam & Sophie!  Hope Harley is hangin' in there with the newbies! ;) :) :)   Wow-the photo atop the World Trade Center in '79  :o  Thank you for that amazing picture.   Love the Sat. Night Live Cast. :-*
Glad you had a good appt report yesterday. Wishing you all the best.    Cute pics of the kittens!

Tsk - I do appreciate your question tho - thanks for asking. :)

LisaG - That will be so fun when you get a vid of little Sydney banging on the drums and her Dad too! ;D ;D

tsk, Sam is the one with the darker face, the Seal Point. Sophie is supposed to be a blue point, but she's not like any other Blue Point I have had. I think there is some Siamese Snow Shoe in there (the white back foot and one toe in the front, and the different coloring on her face.  Here is a picture of a rare Siamese Snow Shoe from the web, and I think that is what she is... The second picture is Sophie.

Lani, oh, I bet Aly is sad to have to leave her patients from Payson ... she will be missed I am sure. You have a couple+ days left with Aly, and I am sure both of you will be busy! How is Mike, and also is Shannon doing well? Loved the old SNL days, so many laughs!

E4E, yes, Erin said the kids want to come and see the kittens again! Harley has been mainly in the Mole Hole with Ed, as usual. We haven't really put them together yet, trying to get them used to each other's scent...

Sarah, Kelsey's helper today took this picture just a little while ago:

So far so good for you and your doc appt next week. I wish my appt w/ ENT would go so well on   Jan 10th. I swear if a word is said about being late getting to this visit that ought to have happened on Dec 6th the fur will fly far and wide!!

Tsk Amy sure has been working, alot! We're all set fot the new year now.   I'm guessing if the skies in your area are clear and M. shower is visiable---you'll see it.  I've on;y seen one in my lifetime---just awesome to t he max.

BL  having some fun?  ;)

Lisa when video of Bradley and Sydney is ready you must publish it here. Still have the cirtter cam out back?

Lani  that's on puzzled looking primate!   Safe travels for Aly/Dewey.

Good test results, Clynn!   Sam and Sophie are adorable!  Think you are right about Sophie.  Great photos from NY and the Eiffel Tower!  Thought Bl might have been up there!  Great he knew the photographer!
Loved tge old snl !  The original group or at least many of them cut their teeth at a place called Second City, in Chicago.  Very successful!  Cooler day today but that is okay!
Had chili and cheddar bay  biscuits for supper, the latter of which I shared with Piper!
Funny dog shames!
I was confused when signing in this afternoon!  Felt like Lani’s primate!   Aly will be missed!

Good Night Lisa!  (The little drummer girl!)

Happy frige day Bazi and Happy Birthday Zippo!

LANI   LOLOL  I did the very same thing - the Lounge has chanced positions.  I'm sure it's hard for both Aly and her clients to make this break.  :(

CLYNN  Thanks for the ID.  I don't know much about Siamese types.  What blue eyes on the Snow Shoe  :o  Sophie's a cutie.  :)   You picked some great classics from the best SNL group ever... ;D   I can see how you are getting very little done with the "new kids" on the block   ;D ;D   Thanks for the backround info on Peter Kaplan. Sad,    Young Elvis.  wonder what they were looking at?  Back in those days they said " nobody smile now  1,2,3"

BL   Where did you and Peter used to climb?

KB   cool rescue  :o  Hope nothing was broken on the dog after that cliff fall.  Hopefully the mailman can just rest a day

OLDGUY   You still busy at work and with family?

Clynn - Just read what you told Tsk and I too had wondered if that was one of your kittys, and you just said it was a past picture of Honey!  Good plan to introduce the kittens to Harley gradually!  Nice picture taken by Kelsey's helper. :)   Love the fantastic pictures; Eiffel tower and Elvis!!

Lani - Awe, I'm sure Aly's patients will miss her so much.  That is so nice of her to offer that they can call her. :)

LisaG - How is your Mama doing?  I know you will be seeing her toward the end of January and I wish her all the best.

Eagles, Our Christmas tree will be up for a couple more weeks or so.  ;D. I'm slowly putting some things away. We will continue to use the Christmas dishes for awhile too. I change the kitchen cupboards in November to Christmas dishes/glassware/cups only, and then change it back in late January.... It's suppose to snow tonight. And it's been that kind of a cold day that makes you feel, "I think it's going to snow."  ;D. I love snow in my birthday month!  8) .. good rain for you!

Clynn, very interesting about the different points of a Siamese. I looked up a Siamese Snowshoe, they say they are rare.... They are beautiful sweethearts and you can see they are bonded.... Mike and Shannon are doing well.... love the Coneheads!! Roseanne Roseannadanna!!! LOL!! ... Elvis inherited his mother's eyes and intenseness... YIKES! workers on the Eiffel Tower.  :o

Phyl, The monkey reflects my confusion when I clicked to enter the Beak and ended up in the Decorah thread... funny dog shames, Love the 3rd one! What big smile from the bacon lover!  ;D

BL ... mooning over NY! LOL!! Great pics, cool one of those brave men is your uncle....  interesting story on Peter B Kaplan.

Oldguy, thanks for the forum bookmarks.

Kb, poor dog, I bet the owners were in shock when he fell over the cliff.  :'( The rescuers did an amazing job! Heroes for sure! I looked to see if the dog is okay, a few scratches/bruises but seems okay... I hope your mailman is okay.

Lisa, glad to read you still have your nature cam... Have you seen Pepe and family lately?

Karen, glad to read you were a bit confused too. I miss Aly already.  :(.

Tsk, lots of tears for both Aly and Clients. These clients have gone through the drug and court programs, hard life, some from the Apache Reservation too.

Good night!

HI EVERYONE

BL  That is some spectacular climbing country  :o

LANI   I have a friend who also changes plates glasses etc for the holiday season.  Lots of work and dedication and fun to enjoy.

CLYNN  The long phone cord on the kitchen wall.. ;) ;)  Last night's kitty pics are so sweet.  Bet Kelsey is over the moon.  Good screen clip at SWFL

PHYL   Am not as much in the mood for cocoa and mittens with our warmer weather and no snow.   :(   Have heard there is a terrible cough going around.  Is there a walk in clinic he could get into?   So funny about how to use a dial telephone.   Love the wolf series 365.  :)

Good Morning!  Phyl, can you run to a store and get a  covid test for Jim?   Hopefully he is negative but if not he needs to get some meds quick!  My friend Mickey had a cough and was positive!  Just started on the drugs following a home test and tele visit with the MD.   Better safe than sorry!  Mickey had all the shots and says she was always masked up! Not fun!

Loved the old
phones!  My first was a no dial, operator kind on a party line!   You’ve come a long way, Ma Bell!  The picture of Elvis and all look like typical depression  era pictures, scrubbed and in their Sunday best.   About the right time!  Good pictures of the kitties and the kiddies!

Lani,  my Christmas dishes are calked Winter .greetings and Inuse them almost all winter!   They are bright and colorful and feature song birds on them!   My   Favorites are the .cardinals!
33 going to  58!

Some makeup back postings. . .

Phyl  Nope, no meteors.  Woke about 3A, broken clouds were encouraging, gave up when it got too light. 

What I do remember Clynn is the routine of untangling that d*** cord.   Interesting fact about red/black numbers on the face of dial phones.  Never noticed.

I might do a semi modification on decoration routine E4E.  Timing seems to indicate snow and temp could be an issue if I wait until the 9th.  Remember too that I now have uninspired others who volunteer to help that I have to take into consideration.  I'll maybe have the outside things taken down and dropped into the garage - then I can put them in the storage boxes and in the out of the way places.  Once things are out of the elements it should be things I can finish up.  Did I mention?  I have an attached garage that years ago (40? years) I learned that the house stayed a lot warmer by mounting a heater.  Just enough to aid in the heating bill.  It also kept the slate entry floor from frosting up.  Yep, icy floors not good.  :-\

E4E I went through that cough/cold too.  Started just before Christmas, broke maybe Tuesday/Wednesday, now just coughing out congestion.  Three boxes of Puffs followed Puff whereever she went for too long a time.  Open last box up this morning.  I even had had 2 medical apppointments that I cancelled out of concern of spreading the problem.  Rescheduled for the 15th and 18th.

Seeing all those in high places gave me another flashback to my Dad.  I told y'all he was a welder/boilermaker who helped prepare the deck for the WWII aircraft carrier - Well, he also worked on the tower and antenna setup for the top of the Hancock building in Chgo loop.  Scary to think of - not talked about at the time.  Of course the "floors" of the Hancock were up to 95, he worked above that.  And of course, the Sears Tower ended up besting that.  But at the time, scary.  The sad thing is, just like the 1940-ish WWII pics, I wonder if those pics he took are still in existence somewhere.  My niece might have rescued them from her dad (my brother) when he passed away.  I'll have to try to remember to asked her.  My brother was also a welder/pipefitter.  There's also a history of them working on the nuclear power plants in the area.  Lots of protocol there, too.  Another who cares fact - my first husband also became boilermaker - I understand there was some settlement when he died early in his 60's.  Crazy things people do?

Off to a dental appointment, but wanted to say, Hello!

karen - LOL,  lil drummer girl!

BL - The Shawangunks look like a beautiful place to climb.

E4E - Mama is doing good.  She is already thinking about when she can drive after her surgery.  She called me yesterday, and said, I asked the nurse how long do I have to wait to drive and she said 2 weeks.  She hates sitting still.  How is your mom doing?

Lani - I always love the pics of your snow you post.  We have only seen one Pepe' on the cam lately.

clynn - Love the pics of Bella & Kelsey with the kitties, so sweet.  LOL, Robert Quigley smoking a cigar!  M15 loves his baby!

Phyl - I hope Jim can get into a doc to see what is going on with his cough.  Walking pneumonia maybe?  Thanks for the 365, and links to the stargazing events.  I was so hoping to see the meteor shower this morning, too cloudy tho.

tsk - Morning - love the egg!

Puff - Glad to hear that you are feeling a lil better from your cough and congestion.

Baby elephant re-uinited with mom and the rest of it's herd in India. Wildlife wardens re-united them after baby alone for 3 days before this pic...they are just napping here in this picture. Normally, a herd would NOT leave a baby but they did as they were moving through an area of human conflict so they chose to..Track how they did this.

Ah, I think I'm having an outa body experience!....LOL...we finally cut the tv cable cord or rather are going to on Monday. Instead all tv's hooked to you tube and an apple tv box...The remote for my tv is small and complex not unlike a small phone rather than tv remote.

New learning curve on the way.....ugg. What I don't do to save us 65 bucks a month. LOL..we have all tv shows we normally watch and then some through you tube plus others...
I might end up getting a little ornery after Monday with the final disconnect...
Though we'd been thinking about it for quite awhile, they did a bait and switch on us through an agent last week which crossed the tipping point. All past plans have now moved to a la cart.....they didn't tell us that and signed us up for the "new plan" losing 3 channels for the same price...that's it!

Royal Albatross

Top Flat Track Update WYL & BOK (lower nest in grass. BOK female has been gone 13 days. WYL did not leave nest for hydration or any food. Rangers were worried something happened to BOK.

Mind your ears ~ skycalls all round last evening (and big sighs of relief) as BOK walked past the #Royalcam to relieve WYL of nest duties. 
Their egg will be swapped with the dummy egg sometime today. The egg has been taken to the incubator for safe keeping in case of desertion by WYL.

Update posted 5 hours ago:  The Ranger came by this morning to confirm BOK was in at the TFT nest, and then came back in the afternoon to return her egg and take the dummy egg away.  WYL & BOK's egg will be candled later.

Guess even the nocturnal VIPs prefer OWLGUY's ride services!
FYI This is my car and these are my actual plates. What an epic way to start the new year! I couldn't have asked for a better perch. No one enticed the owl to land on the car; it did so spontaneously. Around 20 onlookers observed the owl flying from a nearby tree to perch on the car. Some bystanders captured pictures from different angles, providing additional perspectives of the incident. If you were one of them, please share the picture in the comments or feel free to reach out to me directly.

This guy posts pics often from MN.....so cute.

KAREN   You are chilly in your neck of the woods today.  34 here but really sunny  - for the first time in a great many days.

PUFF   So cool about your Dad working above the 95th on the Handcock tower.  Boy, you need to find some of those old pics.  Glad to hear you have recovered from that terrible cough going around.  Smart to change your appts.  When Tim was in the ER/hospital mid Nov - All staff were wearing masks. Think it only appropriate for what walks in and out of there.  :o   Many at my grocery store/church are wearing as well.

LISA   In one way that is a good sign from Mom that she can't sit still.  She'll recover much faster  LOL

KB   Glad that ellie story has a good ending - sweet photo.  :-*   Comcast just dropped FETV where I could find old TV programs   Perry Mason, Matlock, etc.. :P    OWL guy   LOLOL

LANI  BOK needs a smart watch  LOLOL

Been meaning to mention Dan  Ackroyd has two shows streaming on FOX Nation, "The Unbelievable' and 'History of the World in Six Glasses' with his old SNL alumni.

From left: Jim Belushi, Kevin Nealon, Dan Aykroyd, George Wendt and Jon Lovitz


CLynn  cute pictures of Bella and Kelsey with kitties;  enjoyed vintage photos,    Swfl nest photo M15 and E24.

Tsk you're lucky w/temps. I was  wanting  something  'blue'  for today. The Urgent Care Clinic are staffed with NPs . Jim doesn't have a fever/temp. I suspect this is chronic lung issue. He called  mid last month for appt and his doc was so booked up that the Jan 11th was soonest for him.

Karen his PCP would have suggested CoVid test---they didn't this time. His other symptoms may have negated that. He has been taking what PCP suggested over the phone. Jim has my car nowadays so he's best to run errands on his way home

Puff timing is everything  even with outer space. LOL Too bad missing out---same for me. Heard about the Iowa shootings  On this morning's  FNC Happening Now segment.  :'(
Interesting about you dad and the Hancock Bldg---vintage photos would be cool.

KB  all the best w/your new cable provider... would luv to be able to pick what we want  re: channels.  Sweet elephant story/snap. LOL the owl has his own set of wheels

Lani tks for updates  on Royal Albies---got it, BOK-is girl  and  WYL-is boy   ;D

PHYL    Tried the "Unbelievable" and first episode too gruesome for me so turned it off.  Have not been back.  Did not know about " Six Glasses"   Tim and I say that all the time - " wish we could pick out all the channels that we like and get rid of all the rest."   

LISA   Not only that the owl landed on his car but that so many got to take pics of it  LOL

Lani - Everytime I think I am clicking onto the Decorah Lounge - I find I am not and need to correct myself!  This is such a sad time for Aly and the Clients who adore and trust her!!  I know you & Aly are having great quality time together!! :-*  Good for you in keeping your tree up for a while longer.  So nice that you enjoy your Christmas dishes for a while during the holidays. ;D :-*

Clynn - Love your retro 'Kids will never understand'  I can tell you that I identify with that picture, although, when my Dad was home from work in the evenings, I could only talk for 10 minutes, as he said that someone else might be trying to call us for something important!!   Love the pictures of Kelsey and Bella each with a kitten!!   OMG- the 3 year old smoking a cigar  :o   Love SWFL - I had the live cam up for a while today!

Phyl - Oh my gosh, I am so sad that Jim has not been well.  Maybe he would feel a little in the evening with a 'hot toddy'.  Hot Toddy:  hot cup of tea - a little bit of honey, a squeeze of lemon and a splash of Brandy.   He definitely needs to get well before he resumes looking for a car!  I pray that he feels better soon.
The retro sign of the dial phone! Wow!

Hi Tsk!

Karen - I remember my Mom having a telephone 'party line'.  When she would pick up the receiver and someone was having a conversation, she would click the hang-up bar a few times to let them know she wanted to make a call!! :-[ ::) :o

Puff - Hope your cough gets better soon!!  Awe, the story of your Dad - he had an amazing job.  Your first husband had a rough job too!

LisaG - Good for your Mom in looking ahead to see when she can drive following the procedure! My Mom is hangin' in.  She fell in October in her bathroom and has been having pain in her knee ever since, so went to the doctor yesterday.  Thank you for asking!

Hi Tig!

Phyl, sorry to hear Jim's been ill, is there an Urgent Care he could walk in for treatment? I just read your post to Tsk.... sending prayers for you both, and Miss Maggie.... love the black wolf in Brandenberg classic nature video. I remember several videos of the Black Wolf. I could never tire seeing them. Thanks for posting the best stargazing events for 2024.... Interesting facts of the dial phone.... Five Comedians walk into a Bar  ;D

Karen, I think I've seen your Winter greetings dishes with the Cardinals,it a beautiful set...

Tsk, love the egg daisy and yes, BOK needs a smartwatch. I wonder what delayed her, though they do say this is her first egg. She had a devoted mate to stay on that egg 13 days.

{{{Puff}}} glad you feeling a bit better.... masks are being worn in our medical facilities.... ugh, another school shootings  :'(

Lisa, Happy to hear Miss Fisher's greatest fan is doing fine and planning for quick recovery. I pray all goes well for her  :-* ... awww, only one Pepe, I wonder where the family went.

Kb, awww wonderful story and photo of Mama and baby ellies reunited.... gorgeous Great Grey Owl on OWLGUY's car! Cool story!  ;D

Eagles, I'm sorry to hear of your mother's fall. OUCH! Sending gentle hugs and Prayers for healing and comfort. She's had such a time, bless her.

Lisa, love your morning pic, imagine the first sip of that cocoa! Yum!  LOLOL, it's a jungle out there! Also prayers for your Mom coming from here! She will be so fine in time for her Miss Fisher convention!

Phyl, I could watch those Sandpipers in the 365 for a good while, it's mesmerising...  Prayers for Jim to get over whatever it is. My Aunt June sounds like she has the same, a lingering cold/cough or whatever that just won't go away yet... How is your nose feeling? Still

Lani, thanks for the Alby update, so relieved to hear that BOK returned safe and sound! Have a wonderful day with Aly and Dewey and Mike, and of course Sadie, Norman and Milo! Love the peaceful good night pic...

E4E, hope your Mom's knee issue gets taken care of! Falling in the bathroom...nothing soft to fall on. Ouch! I remember telephone party lines, especially my Grandparent's phone in the 50's. One of those big wooden ones on the wall. Her ring was 2 longs and a short. Neighbors all listened in on each other when they wanted to know what was going on, I think there were 12 on the line. And I know we had a 2-party line in the 60's when we lived in AZ.

baz, how is the new fridge? Have you gone grocery shopping yet?

kb, love the OWLGUY and his mascot! Thanks for the ellie story, they look to sweet...

Puff, only two masks have I seen in the clinic where I have been 3 times this past week. One was the PA I saw, the other was a guy in the Lab. I suspect that we will see more in the after the holidays surge...

John Steitz also heads to great grey owl territory and in fact met up with Lavin "the owl guy" of my previous pic...above pic is from John. Luckily they both post pics often.

Yah!....partly cloudy today not solidly cloudy, LOL...it's been very gloomy for quite awhile.
Mailman and I spoke yesterday. He's okay he said as he landed only on his keester and didn't hit his head. Only his pride was hurt he said but still angry as unnecessary to still have icy roads.

Lani - love your goodnight pic and it had me going down a rabbit hole thinking of chimneys, LOL

A few days ago when walking I saw maybe? 50 percent of homes with fireplaces. I don't have one and my immediate thought was I'm grateful to not have that maintenance chore as so many on my city fb page are looking for help/chimney sweeps/change overs to gas etc. etc. and masony fixes. I'm sure those who have working ones love them.

Then I thought about the 1957 home I grew up in. A typical rambler without a fireplace nor a built out basement as we bought as a new build in the development.

Of course over time everything was added including the built out basement. Included: a "pretend fireplace" It was beautiful though. Two walls of light colored brick with an alcove over one wall with uplights that were red. Other wall a brick electric fireplace. Also a bar and a desk wall with cupboards etc.

I remember how long it took for our Norwegian master craftsman to build it all out and that he drank vodka from the morning till night but did a solid job.

I went to google maps and looked at the current rendition of my home. Would love to knock on the door and ask if that basement was still there...

okay, enough about fireplaces.....teehee

📺 SLOTH TV

🦥Sloth Preschool Update:

Moose, two-fingered sloth: Just hit 663 grams and out of the incubator! We are currently transitioning him to a smoothie diet.

Mimi, two-fingered sloth: Recovering well from her hand amputation surgery. Still spending nights in the incubator but nearing 500 grams. We are closely monitoring her progress.

Grover, two-fingered sloth: The wound on his leg is completely healed and he is stable. He is at 656 grams, so we have moved him out of the incubator and are transitioning him onto a smoothie diet.

Binx, two-fingered sloth: Still stable. Eating well and gaining weight; currently at 736 grams.

Elmo, two-fingered sloth: He seems to have recovered from anemia, so we have suspended iron treatments. Still being monitored closely but gaining weight—currently at 738 grams.

NEW ARRIVAL Fergus, three-fingered sloth: Abandoned by his mom after falling from a tree. Showing signs of head trauma. He has been gaining weight since his arrival—currently at 900 grams. Seems stable, but we are closely monitoring him. He has been getting time on the Sloth Playground to practice his climbing skills.

🌳Sloth Elementary Update:

Ken, two-fingered sloth: Officially over 1 kilogram! He has been moved to Sloth Elementary for the next stage of his rehabilitation process. See him on the Playground Camera!

Phoenix, two-fingered sloth: Slightly underweight for his age, but stable. We are keeping a close eye on his leaf intake and making sure he gets enough smoothie.

Roo, two-fingered sloth: He is growing fast at 1.3 kilograms and has been spending more time on the Sloth Playground. He is eating more leaves and is almost fully weaned off smoothie!

🎓Sloth University Update:

Coco, two-fingered sloth: Currently in one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures, eating well and likely the next to be released.

Pax, two-fingered sloth: Pax was recently moved to one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures. He is growing fast!

Myrtle & Spike, two-fingered sloths: Neck and neck in weight, competing to see who will be next to go to the pre-release enclosure. We are getting ready for them to graduate to the next stage!

Liana, two-fingered sloth: Liana has encountered a bump on her road to release and was transferred back to HQ for a period while she is being treated for severe anemia. We are working hard to get her healthy again, but she has a reserved prognosis at this time.

Antonio, two-fingered sloth: Our smallest graduate, but working hard to catch up to the others. He is stable and growing well.

A friendly reminder: We are a critical care facility - Even though you do not see this on camera, the animals are under 24/7 vet care.

A busy last day with Aly, no TGIF dancing for me  :(.
She's rented a trailer to take the last pieces of her furniture that we took off the moving van last June, because of the last minute overcharging by moving company. 
I'm giving her some of my Fall Lenox and antique dishware of her late great grandparents that she loves. We're packing that up, along with a few of my MIL crystal wine glasses we're no longer using. She wants all the muppet/Smurf glassware (20) I collected from the many McDonald's Happy meals years ago.  They're in mint condition, washed by hand. I never put them in the dishwasher. We haven't used them since the kids left home. ;D

Have a lovely Friday and see you all tonight!  :)

CLynn my nose is still on my face is all I can say until next Wednesday's appt w/ ENT.  :(  Tks for Sue's snap of  little E23 or Eve as Debbie named her.  Suburbs in Denmark look efficient parking wise
I've been out in the garage busting up Amazon and other shipment boxes,  scoring off mailing lables and what -not and what-all for Jim. Just wore  a History.com tee shirt 'neath a sweatshirt--- suffice to say it was cold.  ;D

Bazi ditto how's the fridge? Got it all stocked?  IMHO not much more depressing than empty fridge and bare pantry.


All on the Eastern coast heard snow in your forecast wishing you plenty of warmth.


KB  pretty snap of  Indian peafowl couple. So happy to hear your 'mail man'  will be 'okay'. As one who has slipped on ice and landed on her back...I felt that for this person .


{{Lani}} always a sad day when visiting dear ones leave to return to their home.  I remember reading about the overcharge by her movers. Sounds like Aly has  lots of family 'treasures' to take home with her...she'll do  a better job of transporting than the movers would have.  ;)

NATIONAL BIRD DAY TIMELINE
https://nationaltoday.com/national-bird-day/ (https://nationaltoday.com/national-bird-day/)

"Birds have always held special place in our hearts, which is why we celebrate them on National Bird Day every January 5! While birds are amazing, they’re also a massive animal group under particular threat. And the phrase “canary in the coal mine” was named after birds for a reason—they’re the barometers of our planet’s environmental health. The fact that so many bird species are under threat thanks to the illegal pet trade, disease, and habitat loss means it’s more important than ever to raise public awareness of the needs of birds. The survival of hundreds of species depends on it.

Whether they’re your backyard’s star cardinal or the common pigeons that flock to and fro in the park, birds have always held a spot of fascination, love, and adoration in our hearts. There’s a certain awe that can only be tapped into when watching an eagle soar. Unfortunately, most birds are either endangered or protected, this is mostly due to habitat loss or illegal pet trade.

That’s why the Avian Welfare Coalition created National Bird Day: to raise awareness of the hardships and plights of these important animals and how we can initiate the change needed to create a healthier, more sustainable relationship with them.

Birds are often considered living links to the past, being the closest-related animals to the evolution of dinosaurs. They’re often keystone species in the ecosystems, signifiers of its health and vitality. For example, the holes left behind by woodpeckers are often used as homes for a large variety of other animals. That means if woodpeckers were to run out of a food source – or out of the right kinds of trees – so, too, would all the animals dependent on their pecking skills.

While National Bird Day may be relatively new, having been founded in 2002, the adversity that birds have had to face is nothing novel to the animal kingdom. Just ask the Dodo, the Labrador Duck, or the Passenger Pigeon, considered sacred by many Native American tribes and often the subject of many works of American art until its demise."


BIRDS BY THE NUMBERS
10,000 — the estimated number of species of birds.

2¼  inches — the length of the smallest bird on Earth.

1 — the number of eyes that ducks keep open when they sleep.

50 — the number of words most parrots can learn.

43 mph — the maximum running speed of an Ostrich.

20% — the percentage of bird species that migrate long distances each year.

100 — the minimum number of words that African gray parrots can learn.

50,000 — the number of acorns that woodpeckers are known to hoard.

Number 7 on the list is Europa Clipper,  this is the project I was talking about last year in my December 18, 2023 post about NASA's Virtual Guest   Program and launching “Message in a Bottle” campaign.  Where each signee has their name etched on the   clipper's many, many , many microchips.

Rather than directly orbit Europa itself, the spacecraft will enter an orbit around Jupiter in 2030 such that it would spend much of the time out of the gas giant's intense radiation and intermittently fly by Europa for observations of its ocean structure and chemical makeup.

tig - I sure hope that stye feels better soon.  They are no fun.  ((HUGS)) for whoever needs one!

Phyl - Good deal on Jim taking your car for the recall on anti-theft.  I got notice on my Honda app about a recall on my Pilot, but when I got my new tires last week they told me I had to wait to get an actual paper copy of the recall, as they were sending them out when the parts were on hand.  Mine has something to do with the fuel pump. 

I wish the weatherman would make up his mind on how much snow and rain we are getting this weekend.  Every time I listen to the news it has changed.

Hi Beakers!

Kb - Love the story from Lavin and the picture of Owl sitting on his car - so special!!!! ;D   Liked the story of the 'pretend fireplace' and the Norwegian craftsman. ;D   Glad your Postman is okay.  Hope you & Ollie had a nice safe walk. :)

Tsk - Enjoy watching those good 'ol shows!!  Sometimes, we watch the older tv shows too!  I bet your Dad knew just how to make you kids a hot toddy during those terrible colds! :)  Bedtime is the perfect time!

Phyl - Love the picture of the 5 comedians!!   Thank you for good wishes for my mom! :)   Lots of Sandpipers in 365  :)   They talked with a doctor this morning on the Today Show about the lingering coughs that folks are having.  Apparently there are a lot of people in the same boat as Jim.  It is just taking time to get over the cough.  Some can have coughs for over 8 weeks!

Lani - Thank you for mentioning my Mom.  She keeps trudging along and continues to take care too.

LisaG - Thank you so much  :)

Clynn - This how the fall occurred;  Mom has a little clothes line strung across the bathtub that she hangs things up on to finish drying - so she has a little rug draped on the rim of the bathtub - she went to reach for the article of clothing and was leaning against the mat that is draped on the tub, and the mat slipped, and that's when my mom fell into the tub, but she did not fall all the way in as she was able to grab ahold of one of the safety handles that Kris had previously mounted on the wall of the tub/shower area.  But she somehow banged her knee pretty hard.  Hopefully she will be able to heal okay - although it is taking a long time as this happened in Oct.  I hope you don't mind my explanation of how the fall occurred as there are probably others here who might have wondered how it happened.
That's right about the old telephone party lines; our phone would have a certain ring too!  Neighbors were always listening to the conversations! Lol!

Lani - Great updates on the Sloths - such cuties - great pictures!   This week sure went by so fast with Aly & Dewey, and can't believe its already time for her to head home tomorrow.  Wishing Aly & Dewey safe travels. :-*   So special for those treasures you are giving her to take home!

Tig - That is good that the Stye is already feeling better.  Hope all of you had a nice day exchanging gifts.  Definitely hugs {{Tig}}

Karen - Doctor told my mom that he hopes she can get relief with using Arthritic Tylenol.  He is not keen on her having knee replacement surgery - which is what he would recommend if she were younger.  She is 86.
Temps in your area sound good!

Baz - How is your new fridge?! ;D  Did Zippo have a nice birthday? :)

Hi Lori, Bl, Og  :)

Clynn, Loved your morning pics... she's been deviled! LOL! ... Smb took a beautiful photo of E24! Look at that healthy crop on the baby!  ;D ... interesting the way Denmark designs its suburbs.

Kb, love Great Grey Owls, they look like old ministers.... fireplaces  ;D ... love the peacock pair... glad the mail is okay.... I hope you and Ollie had a good walk.

{{{Tig}}} I hope you had a good visit with Camper's sister, her husband and child.... sending a great big hug!  :-*

Karen, interesting about Baz, I hope not... I thought about the walkways to the homes in Denmark too. Such a long walk to the house in cold weather. And looks like they can only have one car.

BL, I checked on Oregon's weather on the weather link you provided it's rain or snow Aly will be driving into. Thank you for link... You, pup and Piper stay warm and safe.

Eagles, Your mom was very lucky she was able to grab onto the safety handles Kris put up or it may have been worse. She's been through a lot in the past few months. Bless her.  :-*

Good night!

I like hearing about all those hugs going around, given here and there for comfort and showing love/concern.  I've been a big promoter since 2022.  I think, and I found out, they are the #1 remedy for so much.

Jim stiill in bed and he's been coughing 24/7. Nothing helps I fear he'll ruputre his 'wind pipe'  if he doesn't get some help. Matters worse since no availability  for doc appt. But, time  gets shorter and his appt  for next  week draws ever closer. Do take care yourself!

Good Morning Beakers!  It's CATURDAY!

Phyl, wormhole, LOLOL! Those waders in the 365 are like the Sandpipers here, love watching them. Kind of like a wet murmuration!  Great poker cat pic! It sure seems like Dr appointments are set much farther out than they used to be, unless you have an emergency! I called in early October to make my annual appointment, got December 5th. Then they called near the end of November and said they needed to change it, to February 16th! So when I went to my Dr, for this eye emergency they said 'it's been over a year since we have seen you'!  Hope Jim can get some relief, I bet his ribs hurt from coughing...

Lani, thinking of you this morning...  I looked up the Muppets and Smurf glassware on eBay. the Muppets are worth some $$$. The Smurfs not so much. But the memories are priceless, I have many things that I could sell but am not interested. Erin can do that when I am gone...  ;D

E4E, I am glad you explained how your Mom fell, you have made us aware of little thigs to watch out for! Like when I pulled up the shower mat and just laid it back down. I stepped on it and it slid because I didn't make sure the little suction cups were set. I slipped but caught myself. Now I make sure it's secure when I get in! After Mom had her back surgery we did a few things around the house to help. First was to convert the bathtub to a walk-in shower. She has a shower chair she sits on and 3 safety bars. We got her front load washer, and both washer and dryer on pedestals. They already had the Acorn stair lifts because of my Dad. So she is pretty well set. She will be 90 this year.

tsk, we have FETV, I watch it a lot! I would be mad if Dish removed it! We also used to have METV, which also had a lot of good old shows, and it's been gone for several months now. I don't think there is anywhere that you can pick the stations you want, you have to find a package that has what you want included. Not easy.  ::)

baz, are you still filling up your fridge?

karen, the kittens are doing fine! My aunt June, she never got any vaccines, she has bad reaction to a lot of meds, her Dr. tested her, it was negative for covid.  He thinks she may have had it and thought it was a cold. It could be that she is in long covid, or maybe just taking a long time to get over it because of her age (87).

Fits right in!..in the picture I mean, LOL.

Morning all.

Phyl - yesterdays walk was very good, roads were mostly dry. Just kept an eye out for a stray ice spot.
Last night we got a similar round of sleet/ice/snow..maybe 1/2 inch less so I'm glad I went yesterday. All should melt today if it gets above 32.....heading into a polar vortex territory next week so will try more walking in the next few.

I did notice yesterday while walking an awful lot of city vehicles including a patrol...that always makes me happy but then last night there was an attempted robbery with gun displayed literally a block away from me in a CVS parking lot just after dark. Woman got away. The night before 2 businesses robbed 6 blocks north of me...A grocery and dominoes...also with guns.
Brazen crime is heading into town here. It has these last few years but now with weapons. Course, none of this is on the news. I read it from victims on social media and crime specific pages..
Have no idea if I saw the city vehicles yesterday while walking because of this uptick or not.

Hanging loosey goosey in the house today.

Forgot Phyl - it sounds like Jim needs some steroids to me with just a call from doc to pharmacy. Mine would do that though she knows me for 30 years....Maybe he's tried that and I forgot?.
Anyway I hope for some relief for him soon...

Taking a break from bookshelf cleaning:  :)

KAREN   Dad's Mom lived to 96.  No falls for her either tho she did use a walker later on.  Played bridge with her doctor until months before she died. :o  Her husband my grandfather died at our home when they were visiting.  They had been watching football.  I think he was 68. He had a ruptured aorta...Mom's side not so good.  Dad with dementia/stroke and died in his 70s....Her mom loved with us for several years - was visiting her other dtr in the next suburb and died instantly of a massive stroke while there She was 88.  Ironic in our family, as we had a smaller colonial style home and was 2 story whereas Mom's sister had a huge ranch with extra bedrooms...Mom took her in lovingly.  TMI  ::)

We wanted to head out to the store early this morning before the weather got too bad. 

tsk - Good luck with your Subaru software update!  Beautiful eyes on your morning kitty.

Phyl - Your dinner sounds yummy! Very cool chair.  Thanks for the 365.  Hope Jim can get some relief from that coughing.

in-laws... can't choose 'em, on either side   :( 

Anyway. I planned some good food choices for me today and just went out to sweep the small amount of snow we got last evening (to get some exercise and fresh air) ... before the Amazon person and mail carrier got a chance to walk on it. I made it down the sidewalk and one path down the edge of the driveway and was headed toward the garbage/recycling containers when my one knee started to give out. A man walking past saw me struggling with the overturned broom as a support and asked if he could help. "Thanx! Just that small bin please" I was two feet from it. Made it back inside ok. Phew. I should fashion a cane carrier that can go over my shoulder ... maybe a strap from a convertable bag,,, so I can carry my cane on my back for when I need it? Hmmm...

CLynn the kitty dressed as poker player reminded me of OG on his Saturday nite poker games/pot luck. If possible can you make the snap of you and sisters in life stages enlarge? You're on the left-hand end?   Yes---cats are truly great joys in the world.  Ahhhh. Sam and Sophie   :-*     Zumon Lighthouse on the Brittany that took some building. Willie    :-* :-* :-*

KB   luv your Caturday kitty; glad it was a good walk---Oh no! A robbery while you and OllieMan were out---do take care keep OllieMan close.  I completely understand shy you stay in your neighborhood.
Re: Jimmy-baby, you know I do't recall steroid either w/his last 'bout. I think it was antibiotics and he did have some pneumonia. Don't think I mentioned the
Long Covid to Jim  or no. It's seems to just be 'fluid' that comes up. Personally, I think his bod's a mess. Jim's just been with his Doc about 2-3 years though. Too bad 'cuz the longer one's been with their doc the better. Prob is they all retire early in life or move up in medicine.


Tskl  I've not been out of the house since Jim's auto accident (first part of October '23) and he's taken over my Kia. It's usually after 4pm and that's too late for me to go anywhere.  Nieghbors are all gone during the day--talking about 14hrs. ;  So luv the blue, blue-eyed Siamese in your post.  WE got a good steady downpour last night . And a dreary day today.


Hi again Puff keep warm and well

Hi Karen

Lisa cute Caturday; even cuter Snow Bunny with her mommie.  ;D  Hope they don't leave the snow too long on the deck---will ruin the wood, esp if untreated lumber.  Do you still 'chat' w/ Jaspurr and the kitty she adopted from Misty's litter?


Tig  good idea, you and me both;  'In-laws what-ya-gonna -do?  I'm lucky as we'r so far away from any one. But, then there's no help either.  :-\

I did get my refrigerator on Wednesday, as scheduled. All went well with that. I now have fresh foods in my working refrigerated portion of my new fridge now! Yay! I have stuff in it like fresh veggies, juice, cheese, and eggs! I got to cook fresh eggs for Zippo and me for breakfast today!! That was the first time I could do that since last spring!! Zippo is as happy about it as I am!! LOL.

I didn't get my walk in on Wednesday or Thursday. But I walked 44 minutes yesterday, and 33 minutes today, after the rainy weather had cleared here, and the sun came out! about 3:45 this afternoon.

I hope all the Beakers are staying safe with all the different weather out and about!  :)  I will be reading and catching up on all the Beaker news here soon.  :)



Meanwhile, I just started reading in The Beak where I left off last, and came across this post, quoted below, by BL, where he said, "Bar none."  I couldn't help laughing at that because all I could think of was a funny card I got years ago from my sister, with the same sentiment, but different meaning, LOL! and it is one of my all-time favorites, so I have to share it here, in response to BL's post below.  ;) ;D

I can only say that these are the most sober sane safety savvy soles that I have ever climbed with.

Bar none.

BL, LOL, per my note above your quoted post... A different kind of "Bar Nun."  ;) ;D

LISA    Bandit??  LOL   Bradley got a manageable amt for a first snowfall.  Awww  Sidney's first time in the snow  LOL

TIG  Many canes already have a wrist strap on them so you can let go of the cane and it won't fall - or in your case be there if needed.  Good idea.  Phew is right! Man in right place at right time.  ;)

This is just an example of many you can find on Amazon or better yet your local Walgreens.

T40   Great piece about Julia Child and her shark repellent  :o  Lots of laughs in this bunch  thanks

CLYNN    Cool wall pics of the sisters.  You had long hair and a flip  :o :o   Sweet pic of you all and your dolls.   I did take breaks - tossed clothes from washer to dryer  LOL, checked the Beak, got the mail   ;) ;)  Grindelwald looks like something from a fairy tale story.

PHYL   Beautiful Ginger with the scarf.

BAZI    LOLOLOL  Nice play off BL's Bar Nun   SOOOO funny. ;D ;D      Good to see you !

Tsk, love the gorgeous blue-eyed Caturday Siamese on your morning post.... Like your grandmother, Mike's grandfather lived to 96 too.  :-*

{{{Lisa}}}awww the kids first snow in their new home! ... sweet Sydney and her mom, first snow!  ;D :-*

T40, thanks for videos. I'm looking at the now.

{{{Tig}}} I hope your not sore from your fall. Nice of the man walking by and was able to help.... and nope we can't choose our in-laws on either side.  :-\

Lani, so glad to hear that Aly and Dewey are safe in their hotel for the night, and home in Medford today! Good choice by Aly on the glasses, the Burger King Star Wars glasses are also worth some good $$, even more than the Muppets! I was looking up Medford and found this good article that is all about Medford!  https://www.planettraveladvisor.com/north-america/oregon-travel-guide/attractions-and-things-to-do-in-medford/   Love the Good Night Siamese...

tsk, yes, I had long hair and crooked bangs a lot (Mom cut my bangs), I don't remember when she stopped cutting bangs and let them grow!  I told Mom she should get one of those 'Hurrycanes' but she was having none of it.

baz, glad to hear you are not trapped in your fridge! I bet you were so happy to go to the grocery store and buy perishables and frozen things! Eggs! Zippo likes eggs!  Bar None! LOLOL!

Phyl, love Bob with his special scarf, he looks just like Harley! You asked for bigger pictures, here you go! I thought you Beakers could click on the pic and make it larger. It doesn't work?

kb - I got a email from jaspurr yesterday, as she was checking on me, and she said, that she was in hibernation with all the rain/snow happening.

karen - I am going to have to get Ms. Sydney a pair of mittens.  You were busy yesterday!

clynn - I love the pics of you and your sisters at different ages.  I wish my Mom would have done something like that with me and my brothers. Beautiful pics from Grindelwald, Switzerland and the French Alps.

Phyl - "I could do that."  ;D I gave Bradley a Lowe's gift card in his Christmas stocking.  He told me he bought a snow shovel, and some other things for the house with it.  He didn't have to use the shovel yesterday, as the snow turned to rain, and it is all gone. Thanks for the 365, adorable kitty!

baz - Glad to hear your new fridge is getting stocked up, and that you were able to make some eggs for you and Zippo! Sister Mary   ;D

tsk - LOL, yes Bandit, most of the time!  Bradley said, they got a good amount of snow, but was gone once the rain came. 

Lani - Safe travels for Aly & Dewey on the rest of her way home.  Glad to hear she made it to her destination last night. Awww, kitty keeping warm by the fire.

A moose enjoying a swim in a lake. NOT Rutt, nor Minnesota.
Which has me wondering about how our Rutt is doing...and, don't even think about swimming in that Red River, Rutt!...that's an order.

Morning all.

Lisa - thanks and happy to hear she can hibernate...yesterday's precip map showed a lot of pink over her

And, I'm hibernating today as well...another round of greasy stuff fell last night...looks like a common thread this whole week. Frankly, I'd rather have 4 inches of snow and the plow come through than this icy stuff...

No! I did not fall. Just a knee saying "it will be time to sit soon".
The wrist strap on my cane broke when I misused it. Can't have it on my wrist if I am sweeping. Guess I'll just need to set it at my feet while working... Walk, work, walk, work...

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

LANI     Nice for Aly to take a different route and see maybe one is better and quicker than the other.  I see she arrived safely.  :)  Nice Siamese by the fireplace.

CLYNN   That is a great link to Medford.  In another life I'd live there in a heart beat!!  Beautiful part of the country.   That is the cutest pic of you and your Dad.  " Daddy's girl"  ;) ;)

LISA   Love that ceramic cup!!  Thanks for Jaspurr update. I don't blame her.  When you get the mittens - don't forget the clip that attaches them to the sleeve.  LOL  I never had those.  ::)

Very cutest sweetie ever Phyl.  Ahhhhh

Did you all see the tornado report from last night?  Over FLL.  Heard of no touchdown, lots of wind damage.  What the heck!

Lani No my ribs are not my main discomfort. . .An enormous headache going on 3 weeks now.

I've had a forever companion now since Greece trip in 2021.  I'm referring to my friend (?) The Stick.  I have one at the door/in the garage, never live home without it, I have made my neighbors happy.  I also have one I leave in the car.  But that strap really does earn its keep.  They all do come with a strap, don't they.  I even bought a replacement strap when one started to shred.  My problem I've have not conquered is not having a good place to "hang" or hook it when I sit down.  Room full of people will jump and then make sure I didn't go down with it.
 I purchased a rubber cane stand holder that I thought would be a good idea BUT It is hard for my feeble hands to put it  in or pull out as the situation calls for it.
 AND It is a heavy chunk of rubber to be able to hold Stick upright.  And, it does work.  Weight of it however becomes an issue.  I'll keep working on this; spine and hip issue becomes very problematic when it keeps falling and I need to bend down to pick it up.  There's an unforeseen problem you don't anticipate at 40 or 50 years.

You were easy to pick out in the group clynn with your clue of you had the dark hair.  The Air Force man is your dad?

Puff, yes, my Dad was in the Air Force for 24 years, he retired in late 1969. So we were Military Brats... ;D Cheers for your friend, The Stick.  He has probably saved you from a fall many times!  Have you seen the doctor about your headache? That is way too long to have a headache!

kb, beautiful scenery for the moose, I bet it's in Alaska or the Grand Tetons...Breathtakingly gorgeous!

Lisa, we're supposed to get snow tomorrow night and into Tuesday. We have only had a dusting or two since the half inch we got in October!

Phyl, the ancient findings are so interesting, love reading about them! Love that sweet kitty!

Ah, just lost a post!

Kb, what is the grease that is falling on Minnesota?  Very odd!
Puff, according to CBS News, there was a tornado touch down in down town Ft. Lauderdale, Fl  last evening!  No injuries reported, minor damage to a few buildings, spotty power outages, no damage to boats and, fortunately it spun up and out to the ocean.
I have a cane that I take when I leave the house!   It has a strap that I ignore and I purchases a hard rubber square that lets it stand up alone!  I do not remove it and have no trouble walking with it on.   Bought this at Oublix after my back surgery!

Post by: kbshcb on January 07, 2024, 11:51:52 AM

Light snow, mixed with sleet. Temps in the high 20's to low 30's. But in Minnesota we call any light snow greasy cause it's slippery...Higher snow inches bring out the plows and treatment so it's not.

As the season progresses with prior treatment, it gets less greasy. This year we have only had the grease and not as often as average.

And not odd. Our meteorologists and local news anchors use the term all the time....

Aly surprised me by taking this pic early last Sunday morning, New Year's Eve. She and Dewey was well ahead of us, while Sadie and I was having a nice easy walk going uphill. We must have been talking too, Sadie's looking up at me  :-* ... Aly caught the sun rising over our beautiful Rim Country.  :-*

{{{Clynn}}} Sweet photos, love you with your dad... love your morning posts.... Now, Aly and Dewey have passed through Woodlands, CA, only 4 hours to go till Medford.  ;D... she has Jabba the Hutt on one of the glasses.... Love the Medford link! I didn't realize there were that many places to explore. I sent it to Aly.

Phyl, The little Dunlins don't mind wet feet while sleeping.... very interesting Live Science report on 2000 year old calendar....  awww, sweet kitty.

Lisa, glad no need for snow shovel for Bradley! Yes, ditto with Tsk about clips for the mittens. Aly always removed her gloves. 

Kb, nice pic of moose... what is this greasy stuff? ... the little girl with the cute boots, looks well protected and loved by her GSD pack! Especially, the big boy behind her. Oh, I'd love to have him.  :-* ... I just read your explanation about greasy!  ;D

Tig :)

{{{Puff}}} sorry about the headache, that's terribly long time to have one.  :(  hopefully, you can find some relief soon.

Tsk Good idea about the clip for Sydney's mittens! Thank goodness I had them for Aly. She was always removing her gloves.  :)

Karen, thanks for updating the tornado touchdown in Florida.

Lani - I'm confused. Is that you and Sadie?...You look in the pic like you are going downhill, no?
Anyway, just trying to visualize what you posted.
BTW, nice tar or concrete available for your walks?

Lani great pic of Sadie and You taken by Aly on 12/31/23.   :)   8)

It looks like Aly's making very good time back to Medford towing a trailer.  It looks like she was able to "tip-toe" through the worst of the weather along her route too.    ;D

These houses are in Norway, they are covered with mosses, this is so that the heat does not escape and the cold does not enter. This engineering was created by the ancient residents, the Vikings.

Happy Sunday Beakers!

Low temp this morning 33 deg., currently 53

Please bear with me as I am catching up in the Beak from yesterday.

Puff - Yes, apparently tis the season for long/lingering coughs! So you are in good company around the globe. ;)

Phyl - Poor Jim with his 24/7 cough. Is it possible that his Doctor can prescribe him something even though his appt isn't until next week?
That must be so hard not to have a car while Jim is at work.  If I were your neighbor, I would lend you my car for your errands!

Clynn - That is so wonderful that you & family have secured safety in the house as much as possible for your Mom!  Love that you guys got her a front loading washer & dryer on pedestals.  I have the same thing for myself.   My Mom has a washer & dryer that stack upon one another in her apartment.   Your Mom sounds like she is doing really well - very good!!!!!!
Love the picture you posted that reminds you of Willi  ;D ;D
Beautiful, precious photos your Mother has of you girls!!! 

Kb - Scary stuff at night in your neighborhood.  Thank goodness you are not driving out at night.  Thank goodness that woman was able to get away.

Tsk - It does take my mom longer to get over bruising these days.  Mom and sis were over here yesterday for a couple of hours.  :)  Just read what you said to Karen with regards to some of your family history - thank you for sharing.

Karen - Yes, my sister helps with reaching for those hard to reach things, but if my sister is not in the room, mom will usually just try to do it on her own.  Wow, your Grandmothers were amazingly fit not have Canes and Walkers!! You have inherited their good traits!!

LisaG - Beautiful snow at Bradley's new home / looks like a nice deck area!   Darling pic of Sydney in her first snow!! :-*

Tig - So true about in-laws  :-X   Don't over do clearing snow! I know that is easier said than done, but please take care.

Baz - Yaaay, so glad your fridge got delivered the other day and that you are stocked with food!!  Zippo is happy too! ;D   Bar Nun!!Lol!! ;D

Lani - So glad to know that Aly & Dewey are having safe travels.

Clynn - I'm so glad Phyl asked for enlarged photos!!  Very nice and so cute - thank you for posting!!  That must be you & your Dad!!! :-* :)

Need to get busy again around here. BBL!  Hope all are having a nice Sunday afternoon. :)

Phyl - Did you happen to get that Stollen from Publix?  I have a friend who lives in TN, and she shops at Publix and bought German Butter Stollen the week of Christmas.  :D

kb - Glad you are hibernating, too. Icy roads are not good. I think lil girl is safe.  ;D ;D

((tig))

tsk - I need to find some of these cute mug (in real life). I will look for the clip for mittens.  :)

((Puff)) - I hope you get some relief from that headache.  That is a long time to have one.

clynn - I looked at the weather for your area.  Did I read that correctly, 6 to 11 inches to be expected?  :o 

karen - Sorry about your lost post.  That is so sweet of you to offer, but I have already booked my hotel in Savannah!  The summer before last, when Mama was here, and I drove her home we did pass near you, I think.  Instead of my usual route, which is 95 to Savannah and then on to Jacksonville the next morning to get on I-10 to Mobile.  We had cut across Georgia in Savannah.  I thought it was much longer and we were on some back roads!

Lani - LOVE the pics that Aly took of you and Sadie, and gorgeous snow day pics!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u3XWri8BoU

E4E - Thank you  :)  Yea, the deck on the back of their house is really nice.

KAREN   Had not heard about the Ft Lauderdale tornado. 

KB  You can click on the photo of Lani and it enlarges.  Vid is so hard to watch. :(

KB handsome moose;  have you head anything on 'Rutt"? ; Good idea to stay indoors with foul weather; That cute little girl is well protected by her army of 'body guards'.  ;) m  Thaks for explanation of 'greasy' as it pertains to snow and it's slickness.

Puff sweet kitten from this am is part of my 'blue phase'.  ;D ; heard about the tornado; headaches are the pitts sure hope your's
goes away. Keeping your cane close at hand is smart. Gonna be me one day. {{{}}}

CLynn thought that was your Pop ; y'all do take care w/the snow and all.  A thought---if you have patch pockets on your clothes  Sam and Sophie could ride along w/you around the house.  :)   Maggie rode my shoulders for 8mos.    :-*

Karen how frustrating to loose a post you've been working on  >:(  ; many thanks for the weather update, esp tornado in FT. Lauderdale, FLA  , glad that was no worse than it was.  ;)

Lani  very nice sunrise for you on your walk; you have 'just enough' snow to be perfect and enjoyable; Won't be too long and Aly/Dewey will safe be back home in Medford   ;)

CLynn thanks for the update from Sue on SWFL eagles /what a sweet silvery fluff ball.  Your photo of Norway reminded me of  Nat'l Geo Mag  ---a couple of years a go did a long piece on the ancient Vikings of that area and Germany. What an eye opener---author did a fine piece dispelling some myths of that culture---living in 'long houses'  just one long room with dirt floors and a fire pit.    I love Archaeology  :-*

BL, Thanks for the link you posted Friday night, cemented Aly's decision to go through CA then north to Medford. She said it was windy going north thru CA, but trailer was packed tight and did well.... I hope all is well with you, Pip and pup!

Clynn, Thanks, the sun rising over the rim is always a beautiful start to the morning.... awww E24  :-*..... Love the moss covered homes in Norway, reminds me of Hobbits homes ... NR knitted a darling sweater.... Trucker ties down toys! Cute  ;D

Karen, I love Aly captured the beautiful sunrise we see here.... tomorrow we'll see the Rim covered with snow.

Kb, YIKES! video is definitely greasy, slippery, scary!  :o

Lisa, great winter song!

Tsk, there's Ponderosa, Pine, Junipers, Oak trees all around us, except on the golf course. Dewey has bad knees and they did a short walk with us. So, we walk the trails up from our home to one of the holes and Aly and Dewey returned home, and Sadie and I continued our hour walk with others (off the course). No walking or pets allowed on the course or cart paths, except in the winter and you have to be off before 7:30am. And as you can see the sun is just rising.... Mike is leaving Tuesday for the valley.... beautiful puzzles.

Phyl, beautiful serene good night pic .... beautiful Barbie.

Good night!

Keep warm and safe Beakers!  :-*

Good Evening/Morning Beakers

BL - I have been watching this system in the forecast for 5 days now - every forecast has changed the snow amounts for Tue and Wed.  It started out as 1.5 inches each day - the current forecast is 12 inches for Tue.  I get to work on Tue. - forecast is for .5 in/hour rate - so I will have about 4 in. on ground at start of shift and 7 in. on the way home.  I ended up buying a 20V snow shovel today after work - it should get a workout this week...

For Christmas Brunch we made a pork sausage cake that was mentioned here - everyone thought it was perfect for a brunch - could not taste or see any sign of the pork.  Also surprised that it was not mentioned to refrigerate - had a small portion left over and I finally threw it out after 10 days - no sign of spoilage... :o  What my other half noticed was that the pork was the only "fat" used in the recipe.

Cards was played as normal - won 1 out of 3 - but scores were close...

Been working on some house cleaning and reorganization - need to replace bed - old bed is a queen and replacing with a king, so bedroom layout needs to be changed - also adding a computer/makeup desk.  Also need to move furniture in front room to make a path to a king into the bedroom.  Still trying to find a desk and headboard that we like - almost nothing available in town - will need to check for them in Cedar Rapids...  We use to have 5 furniture stores in the area - down to 2 and neither has hardwood in stock.

Work was busy this weekend - lots of foot traffic and of coarse this is the time to start setting up the store for spring.  Forecast for next week is temps in the -6 to+12 range and the schedule is to start setting the unheated garden center... ::)  Note:  we have 3 eagle statues this year.

oldguy, you have been busy and more to come! Glad to hear Spring merchandise is showing up...Spring is coming! Thanks for all the links, will get to them...  ;D Something funny about beds, I had the kittens closed in our bedroom yesterday while Erin cleaned my floors downstairs. I sent the Munchkins up there to play with the kittens. Erin went up to check and Talon mentioned how big out bed was (split king XL adjustable). Erin showed him how it moved with the remote. Talon said 'Grandpa and Grandma must be millionaires!' LOLOL!!

Lori, hello there!

Lani, are you able to see the rim on your walk? It sounds so beautiful! Found this picture of fresh snow on the South Rim...   Sweet snuggly puppy!

BL, bracing for the incoming snow, looks like many states will be affected! As the old saying goes, 'Buckle Up Buttercup!'

kb, never heard of greasy snow, sounds gross! Best stay inside until the barrage is over! We are all getting hit here in the Midwest!

Phyl, beautiful stones and such a classy Barbie!

GOOD MORNING

In the forecast beginning at midnight...

PHYL   Beauties of beach stones.  Would be fun to collect.  :)  I have a necklace I bought from an artist who uses beach glass.

BL  Beautiful stones from you as well.

LANI   Thankfully Aly and Dewey are safe and sound.  :)  Will neighbors help her unload that trailer today?  You have some great  walking opportunities  with friends to meet along the way with similar goals. Nice scenery as well  :)  Good that Mike is close to home for this trip.   That good night pup really made me laugh  ;D

OLDGUY   Had to Google 20 v snow shovel.  Never knew there was such a thing.  The new year bringing lots of home redecorating projects to the forefront.  :)    Our snow levels are also changing depending on which source you use.  We go from rain to 6"  ::)   Stay safe.  I will enjoy the links for my break time today,  Thanks

CLYNN   Keeping up with the stone theme - love the painted ones.   That would be a fun hobby.  Talon's measure of wealth  LOLOL

HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY PUFF

California Condor.

Interesting: Captive bred California Condor's are being vaccinated for avian flu as an experiment. 1/5 of the Arizona condors died from it last year...

Last quote: "If it provides any protection at all, we should do it: Sorenson said.
Interesting story...and why we don't do this for agricultural birds etc.

Good Morning Beakers!
Morning Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

It's a cold Monday, started at 9 degrees! brrrrr, late start for walking this morning.

Oldguy, Good to hear from you. You've been busy at work and home. Lots of plans for the New Year... The Walter Santi video of the recent kitten he rescued was a heartbreaker, I was in tears the first half. What a beautiful brave little guy, I pray they are able to find a forever home. Thanks for links.

Clynn, the sun is shining, there is snow on the Rimm it's 27 degrees now, and it's gorgeous outside. Stunning pic from the Grand Canyon.... Last night Mike finished the Tillamok Peppermint Bark ice cream  ;D ... awww cute Talon story! Love the painted rocks...

Tsk, Aly's boss and his wife will help her unload the trailer.... We have great walking buddies. The gal I was meeting on New Year's Eve (daily walker too) had been having breathing problems. She had been coughing and having problems walking up the hills for the last month. I know this high elevation can bother people, it seems as the years go by I've been catching myself a bit too... Anyway, she was struggling on our walks this past week. She texted me early yesterday morning and said, she probably needs to get her pacemaker checked and medication changed. I agree bless her. Plans have changed for Mike, he's leaving for Houston on Weds and will return Friday.  :-\ ... but, he goes to the valley for a checkup after his shot.

Kb, thanks for story on Condor. Did not know that about the AZ condors.... take care.

Lisa, oh my flood watch in the winter! Take care  :-*

Phyl, love the antique trike, never had one. I wonder what that would be worth today. I love the show "American Pickers."

{{{Tig}}} you've had your workout today. Enjoy the rest of your day cozy and warm indoors.

{{{Puff and Lori}}} I hope you both have a lovely birthday!  :-*

KB - LOL on the "attack". We had less than an inch today.

E4E - Sorry... I needed to take care of snow. I am on a mission this year - to move the shoveled snow back several feet from the edge of the driveway (where the men in my family leave it). Therefore after several snowfalls we, hopefully, will not have a snowbank over which we need to heave fresh snow. I did the snow from the weekend when I got home from the Y and then I just now did the snow we got this morning, and I did the patios and the city walk in the front.
Therefore, I'm postponing the dinner I planned to make and ask Camper to bring home some Panda Express. He went to a movie after he shoveled the walk and drive.

Now for a warm Drink...  :o

KB   What a great shot of that condor.  Hope the vaccination works.  I laughed out loud!!! lion and coyotes

PUFF   Based on tonight's news - you should be getting more snow than I will.

LISA   Beautiful cup with that cookie  ;D  I had bought these first 3 puzzles but a section at the grocery - 3 for $10.00.
All 500 pieces.  Each took 7 days - the butterflies took 8.  They were fun to do.    Boy, you're getting rain and Midwest finally getting some snow - Second round Thurs to Sat.

PHYL   Love that fabric owl  :D   Nice cakes!

BL    Fascinating mouse - Wonder how much it gets/hour?  ;D

CLYNN   Great card for LORI  ;D   I'm glad times have change for cough syrup  LOL  ::)

LANI   Beautiful cakes wishes for out two b-day gals today.   I think the black squirrel will win!   That's right, Aly has one great boss.

EAGLES  Enjoy the visit with hubby's sister and fiancé - when's the wedding?  ;) ;)

OLDGUY   Could hardly watch the beginning of the Santi kitten vid.  Good ending so far - Now a forever home. Shouldn't be too hard after that video.   Like Santi's preview of coming attractions.  Loved that song by Police.   Maru et al - fun new year.  Darci Lynne is amazing and getting better.

Crew of 4 women and 2 men to take down Xmas at the church - 90+ minutes.  Offering 36 poinsettias free to parishioners  ;D  Then swiffered, washed and Quick shined my wood floors. ( my second January project done)   Then off to Culvers and got myself a Concrete Blizzard for dinner!! - I deserve it  ;)

Lots of lovely birthday greetings for Lori and Puff today. Hoping you gals had fun filled celebration.

CLynn  Gosh. forgot it was 'The King's' birthday today. Shame on me 'cuz, so,  I've been told,  when I was just a babe still in her crib and that man  started singing I'd pull myself up, latching to the rail top, squeal and bob up and down to the music!     :-[     Sadly---as I matured  I became enamored with The Fab Four. LOL
Unique peace symbol,  :o that glacier and that 'One Night cough syrup" Goodness the ingredients in that suff wouldn't make the pass today as OTC. 


Tig Boy! Do I envy you a warm swim in the AM.  I hear ya on 'the men in you family'.  ::)

LOL Lani  the husky chasing the black squirrel.  ;D   You know as much as I watch the History Channel, I've never seen 'American Pickers'. Most thoughtful of Aly's boss/wife to help her out like that. Goes along way in expressing their fondness and concern for her.  Being lactose intolerant, I miss out on the specialty ice creams---no doubt it was tasty . ;)   :) 

BL good idea keeping your 'electronics' batteries to capacity. Brrrrrrrr !  I really enjoyed that video of the  Welsh Tidy Mouse. so cute . Thanks

Eagles cute little penguin this AM; yes we are similar temps wondering about our longs and lats.  I wish I had neighbors like our Beakers.
Thanks.

KB  that semi-truck definitely hit a slick spot in the freeway!  Gotta watch for that 'black ice' and all.  I feel prey to that once in my life---totaled out my car.  :(

Tsk  Yes. I think you deserve a Concrete Blizzard  after all that work at church today. I hope you got an  extra one to stash in a
corner of the freezer.  ;D  LOL

Clynn, Talon is one smart boy! The sweater NR ade looks like a nordic design that might have come out of one of the interesting Hobbitt Houses!   How is Harkey?

Good Evening/Morning Beakers

BL - I have been watching this system in the forecast for 5 days now - every forecast has changed the snow amounts for Tue and Wed.  It started out as 1.5 inches each day - the current forecast is 12 inches for Tue.  I get to work on Tue. - forecast is for .5 in/hour rate - so I will have about 4 in. on ground at start of shift and 7 in. on the way home.  I ended up buying a 20V snow shovel today after work - it should get a workout this week...

OG I hope you can catch a snow day off work tomorrow. It looks like Iowa City is really going to take it on the chin ..   :o

Karen it's really just one huge nasty low pressure system that's going to bring trouble to a whole lot of the USA.  ::)

You and Baz need to keep a very keen eye on the weather in your 2 areas tomorrow. 

Slide your cursor over the times/dates at the top of the map. You'll get the gist.

Phyl - Wow, an authentic German Stollen, that must have been delicious!  How is Jim?  Is he feeling better?  Thanks for the 365, and for the link on the solar eclipse.

tig - A nice warm pool sounds wonderful. I hope you got your Panda Express after all your hard work!

Lani - Oh my 9°, you are very chilly this morning.  Did you get your shoveling done?

clynn  - Yikes, on that iceberg!  LOL, the cough syrup ingredients!

BL - Thanks for the weather link.

E4E - Hope you enjoy your visit with hubby's sister and fiance'.   :)

kb - LOL, tiger and two coyotes!  Yikes, on that truck slip sliding away. 

tsk - Not a bad price for those puzzles, and you did them in good time, too.  You sure did deserve that Blizzard.  Mmm, Culver's...love those ButterBurgers!

karen - You had another busy day. 

Good night, everyone!

Well, Lori and I have really over stayed our alloted time today.  It is so sweet to hear from our bird buddies.  And then, too, all those delicious low-cal cakes. . .yummy.

Memory lane time - for those from the 2011 inductees to the group, do you recall Alice Witt?  She helped me out getting addicted and with some of the steps and areas we had available.  I believe about 2013 we found that we had the same birth date.  Not just the month and day, but the year.  My note from her this year gave me a new title "birthday sister".  If my old-person mind is still clear for the day, I know I was born about 8 pm, she was born during the day.  Makes her older.  ;)

Also, coincidentally, she's from the area.  We both live west of Chicago, she's north of me and around O'Hare.  Actually, tsk, she's close to you.

But I like that new title "Birthday Sisters".

Thanks again to all for spreading the good wishes.  HUGS to you all.

BL, I read your report, you've got a lot of rain coming from all directions. Yes, charging anything and everything. I hope you have a generator too....  I pray you, Pip and Kopje will be safe. Prayers for all to be safe.... Love the House Proud Welsh Tidy Mouse! LOL! Great story, and a keeper for sure!  ;D

Clynn, Tillamok Peppermint Bark Ice cream is a seasonal product. We found it in the valley in early November, and saved it for Mike for the holidays.... iceberg looks like the Titanic floating by... I can't believe the ingredients in the cough syrub. Yikes!

Kb, oh my "Tiger attacked by two coyotes!" Too cute! ... do you know there's a Greasy, Oklahoma?!  ;D

Tig, I removed the snow off our driveway, entry and patio today.... Doing the Y and then removing snow, you deserve that warm drink and Panda Express. What movie did Camper see?

Tsk, My goodness! You helped take Christmas down at church... "Then swiffered, washed and Quick shined wood floors, and it's your second January project done! And it's only January 8th! WOW! What vitamins are you taking and yes, you deserve a Concrete Blizzard. Did you eat it in the car, away from Tim?  ;D

Phyl, wolf had its tail between it legs running quickly across the open field. I hope all was well for it... thanks for the Live Science... I hope Jim is feeling better.

Karen, you've had a busy day too. I hope you gave yourself a treat!  ;D Mike surprised me with a carrot cake after my busy day.  ;D

Puff, I hope you're feeling better and had a nice birthday... I remember Alice Witt, she was very nice and friendly to new forum members.. She shared many valuable info about eagles, I learned a lot from her, I think there was a couple of eagle cams she was a mod on..... That's wonderful you both are in contact with each other "Birthday Sisters". :)

Lisa, Yes, I got the shoveling done. When are you leaving for your mom's?

Good night!

Thinking of Clynn, sending Heavenly birthday prayers to Kay!

What’s Up? NASA’s January Skywatching Tips

https://science.nasa.gov/skywatching/whats-up/ (https://science.nasa.gov/skywatching/whats-up/)
The moderate Quadrantid meteor shower is active from Dec. 28 to Jan. 12. The moon will wash out faint meteors, but the shower often produces bright "fireball" meteors.

Look for brilliant Venus rising with a slim crescent moon in the southeast, in the hour before sunrise, on Monday, Jan. 8. The moon will appear very close to the bright red star Antares, appearing to pass in front of the star for observers in parts of the Western U.S. On Jan. 13 and 14, the crescent moon will be visible with Saturn for observers in the southwest for a couple of hours following sunset.

If you have access to a telescope or binoculars, January 14–20 is a great week to pull them out. The presence of the first quarter moon makes for great viewing opportunities as you sweep across the sky, exploring the Moon, then Jupiter and its moons, the Pleiades, the Hyades, and the Orion Nebula.

Phyl, thanks for the NASA sky watching tips! Talon got a telescope for Christmas, I am going to send him some information! Cute little ermine popping up to scope the situation... Lovely blue coffee cup this morning, and the blueberry pancakes! I know what you mean about it being hard to get medical appointments! And then the snow!  I am supposed to have my appointment with the retinal specialist this morning at 9:00, but it's still snowing. They won't plow the residential streets until the snow stops, which will be around 2:00 or so. We are on the corner of our street and one of the more important streets, so Ed thinks he can make it to the clinic, about a mile away. I am going to call first and see if the doctor was able to make it to the clinic!

Lani, I did find one holiday Tillamook ice cream, just one time. It was Sugar Cookie Dough, it was good!  It's beautiful outside right now, looks like we have about 6" and it's still coming down...

Puff, I remember Alice Witt, she was one of the original members of the forum. I hope she is doing well! I can't remember what the forum was called then! When I was still working we had four of us in the same department with the same birthday - May 6th!

tsk, you are the Energizer Bunny, I think I have called you that before!

Juneau. The capital of Alaska. The ONLY state capital with no road access.

GOOD MORNING

Not happening yet!

PHYL   I enjoyed my ice cream but now back to sensible eating today.  ;) ;)   Thanks for the 10 cities to witness the solar eclipse.  Wish I was one of them  LOL

KAREN   Do you still have your home health aide?  You sure are keeping yourself busy in a way that tells me you may have dismissed the help?

PUFF   Did Alice Witt use her real name in posting.  I think I remember her..  What burb is she in?  Did/does she volunteer for an animal rescue group?  Birthday sisters - cute  :)

LANI   Tim left for Door County yesterday knowing full well there would be "blizzard" conditions up there today.  Sure hope he can stay safe....He will be back tomorrow if the weather allows.  Feels he's invincible  :( ??? :-\   Hope that carrot cake had a cream cheese frosting  LOL

PHYL  The whole country is in turmoil these days - Lots of tornado warnings in the southeast I hear this AM.  Well at least you and Jim will have some answers this week.   Love the little " jack in the box" ermine  ;D

CLYNN  Good idea to make sure doc is there first  LOL  Sure hope you get that appt today.  What a coincidence that 4 of your office workers had the same b-day - the odds  LOL   Interesting fact that Juneau has no road access  Yikes

LISA   Another cozy AM pic  :D

Waiting for the storm to come and go!   Phyll, will take your wind!  We have7 mph predicted and I hope it does  not materialize.  Several tornados reported in the Florida panhandle!  No damage reports as they are continually tracking this potentially  dangerous mess!
Got up this am to the call from Code Red.  Had been laying in bed with Piper thinking the storm had by passes us  but jumped up. Got dressed and  made coffee, let Piper out and dashed to the street to get the trash receptacle!  It was already blown over.  Got it righted and  in the garage!   Dark as pitch so am hoping the  power holds!  Trees in back of me are leaning from the hurricane and if they fall can hit the fence and power line.   WishI had talked to them abour these  trees!
Any way, that is life here in Paradise!
Tsk, I still have the help but I do need to cancel them!  Really just need a housekeeper every two weeks!   Maybe a driver!
Severe-thunder storm warning just  posted.
Clynn,  hope you  got to the doctor safely!   I know you have many questions!
Doctor appointments are hard to get  in December as people are going  to be seen before the first of tge yrar as their deductibles have been paid!  Then there is an increase i. Covid,rsv and flu along with the crazy cough!  Phyl, you have been seen for your nose, just notthe ent!
Pouring rain now and just had another code red call! 
Remember Alice!  Very pleasant lady.
Clynn, my dads birthday was May 7th!   Bbl, power willing!

This view of Juneau is not unfamiliar to me either---
In 2005 when Jim was flying for his last employer Doane Pet Care Inc, he and Rodney  (and me as I was invited) took the Hawker and flew there to meet our company's president (family) who had taken a cruise with a potential client and his family  to Alaska and her coast.  There were no other passengers as Rodney's wife couldn't come along ( :() as she worked and wasn't allowed time off.  So ---when Jim put wheels down to land on Sitka, Island; he told me to un buckle and move to the cockpit to view. the landing from the pilot's perspective.  It was a thrill.  And, I love thrills. Took a ferry to Juneau. Did the same when we left.
I remember shopping in a chain store called 'Galligaskins'. (British for very loose trousers; breeches worn in the 16th and 17th centuries. Chiefly British  leather leggings,gaiters,)   They had a line of children's' clothing called "Perry Otter'.   A bit of a play on the 'Harry Potter' books. LOL
There were a couple of other 'tag alongs' Alaska way none more than over night---exects were along.  :(

Right now we have wind gusts up to 30mph and light rain. Wind is SW at 18mph. I suspect, for us,  this is from that nasty weather the midwest and east coast is /will be getting

Tsk/Lisa thanks for well wishes this week---esp for Jim---
 From what I've had to learn on my own about my fracture it could be healed already. But, it still hurts---alot. And that makes me hesitant to reinstate the treatment for the  chronic non-allergic Rhinitis. What I'm seeking is an medical go ahead on the normalcy.

Karen Do take care.

CLynn  I hope you do---But, I'll be surprised if you make your appt today. Your high  later  when  all that snow  drops ---is forecast to be -15F  right on Caucus Day.  :o  I get so concerned for the folks living where winter months are actually winter with snow and ice.

Enjoyed all the morning posts and pictures .
With the weather I won't get to see much in the skies---not this week.  :(

Something very unusual weather occurring across the country at this time.
Every single State in the country has some type of weather Advisory, Watch or Warning in some part of the State ..  :o

https://www.weather.gov/

KarenG it looks like the worst of that nasty squall line is past your area now.
Hope your property remained unscathed.

LisaG I do see some wind damage reports near Mobile, AL for yesterday 01/08/24 but no tornado storm damage reports (yet) however.

https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/reports/?&source=prelim&all&date=20240108

You need to stay weather aware at your location tonight also. You Jeff and the poodie_tats stay hunkered in.  :)

Good morning Beakers! Photo of The Rim taken by one of the homeowners on a higher elevation in our community (looking East towards Pinetop, you would travel that way if you're on 260 and heading towards New Mexico).

LISA   Pretty scary down there in the panhandle area.  Bet they have warnings for the bridge today?

According to NWS---here in Middle Tennessee, we'll be under a wind advisory for about another day (Wednesday) with wind   and gusts 40-50 mph.  :o   Its noisy with this weather. The wind comes underneath the eaves sounds like we're being lifted . Jim has been out in this  blustery wet mess since 6am and working thru until 5pm. Then he has to make it home.  A warm shower and hot coffee awaits.


Lani  here's recipe for the pancakes in my  AM post.    Blue Spirulina Keto-Paleo Pancake Recipe    https://www.blogilates.com/blog/blue-spirulina-keto-paleo-pancake-recipe/ (https://www.blogilates.com/blog/blue-spirulina-keto-paleo-pancake-recipe/)

BL   Thanks. Y'all take care.   Albeit for Nashville, TN , I have links in my AM post today.

Karen good news on tornado watch and temps.

Tsk with that sleet  :o   35F Brrrr!

Lisa good Jeff is home. Y'all take care---mama too.

From Alaska to Arizona - We Live In A Beautiful Country!!!! 
I better get busy on the states still in my bucket.

Lani - When I saw yesterday's pic of snow in the canyon I thought of "icing on the rocks".  How ever would you manage to describe the view.  First time I saw it, tears - lots of tears, first husband tears also.  A person should be mandated to see the big hole in the ground before they die.  I still get emotional when I go there. 

And now I'm remembering all that beauty BL shared with us.  There's got to be a better work than THANKS for what he shared with us.  How about "Thanks and a big (((((hug))))) to BL.

Tsk - along with knowing everybody they know everybody's business.   ::)

This morning less than an inch had fallen.  Michael cleared walks/drives down to the cement/pavement.  Got up to about 33-34

Now we have lots of big flakes.  Now all is white. Cement/pavement are gone.  At least 2 inches - and its going to be there for a while cuz it is 32.  Watching for the dog sleds.  ;D

Good afternoon Beakers!

Hi Tig - I know you like to stay on top of all there is to be done around house & yard! :)

Tsk - I have ordered one of those BeneCanes for my mom! I looked at the link you had provided for Tig, and I thought that getting a new and better cane than what my mom has been using, would come in very useful for her!     As for my SIL's engagement, I do not know of a date for the wedding yet!
Safe travels for Tim!!  He is brave to have gone to Door County yesterday - although I forget how long the drive usually is.

Phyl - I agree that if we had neighbors like our Beakers - we would have the best neighbors!!    So glad you finally get see an ENT tomorrow. Hope you get a good report on how you've been healing.

Karen - You sure do keep busy!  :)   Just read about your Trash Receptacle and how you were out there picking it up and getting it upright!!  You are strong!! ;D

BL - Wonderful of you always providing links and info for the Beakers in those 'weather' areas!

LisaG - Yeah it will be a good time and will definitely be a late evening as they won't arrive until about 4 pm.  Their other brother is coming over too.  He just lives about 45 minutes away from here.

Puff - Hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday!

Lani - You too, are getting your exercise in with shoveling, and of course I know you walk Sadie everyday!!

Clynn - I hope the doctor was able to make it in to the clinic.  You & Ed take care and be safe.  I watched Al Roker on the Today Show this morning giving the weather report!!

Hi Kb, Baz, Og

By the way, did anyone hear from Lori as to how she spent her birthday?  Hopefully she had a wonderful birthday! :-* :)

Beakers have a safe, warm evening.

Hello Beakers!  I called the clinic this morning and changed my appointment to Friday. We couldn't get out, no plowing was done until later, and the Dr. had not made it in yet.

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/78/b1/9d/78b19d111ebd3a338d99eae0cddab3f5.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/2a/85/75/2a857592af81666e5c62819b1b56dfb9.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/56/55/26/5655268e4757ecbc7116f2f507a60bb8.jpg)

E4E, we got 8-9", it's very pretty!  Erin and Sydney will be over soon to clear the 4 driveways/sidewalks here (3 other neighbors pay him to clear theirs). So I will get to spend some time with the Munchkins! I have a pot of chili on the stove! Ed went out and pushed some of the snow off the cars and shoveled the little sidewalk to the driveway.

Phyl, I am going to have to try those beautiful pancakes! I have everything but the Blue Magik, which I don't think is actually needed unless you want them to be extra pretty! I don't have blackberries, but plenty of blueberries! I had to look up the Blue Majik, sounds like it is pretty good for you! 
Blue Majik®
Blue Majik is a propriety certified organic extract of Arthrospira platensis, a Nutrient Dense AquaBotanical™. Its stunning blue pigment is made up primarily of Phycocyanin, a powerful antioxidant which has the ability to quench free radicals and is a potent natural COX-2 inhibitor — effective in alleviating chronic inflammation. In addition to Phycocyanin, Blue Majik contains anti-inflammatory compounds

Puff, so what is left on your bucket list?

Wow, this weather is hitting almost all of us!

Lots of snow.
tsk - waiting to hear if Tim made it to Door County. I've been tracking the snow and it looks like most of the day it snowed there.

We had somewhere between 10-15 of these kind of systems last year....whew, not this one.
Lots of snow....I feel y'all.

BL  I knew today's posting was of a location outside of her town.  The "iced" picture I spoke of that caught my awe was of the south rim, looking down into the depth of the canyon.  Either one was awesome - in person all these inspiring views are not to be categorized, merely cherished.  I have an huge edition of memories:  The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain N.P., Bryce, the Tetons, Glacier N.P.  So many "views" etched into old brain, never to be forgotten or downgraded.  All these is on a convenient line, US89, south to north.  I just admire them all and I'm glad I have the memories.  (Old mind that it is these remain somehow - Meanwhile I can't find the safe place I put my missing ring.  Which matters more?)

Maybe someone is swifter than I and can recall the Grand Canyon "icing" pic one or two days ago?

It has been a "WHITE" day around here - this time yesterday our ground was snow free - we still have about 3 hours to go, according to the forecast.  My deck is at 13" at the center - corner railing posts have snow caps of about 10" high.
Went in to work this morning - got there without any problems - left early, after getting 2 key tasks done - very empty store - left at 1:15...  visibility was down to about 500 ft. and roads completely covered with 3-6 inches of slush/wet snow.

Below pics from my door looking at deck rail, cars, lilac bush (about 5 ft high, without snow) now about 2.5 ft. high

Phyl - Oh no, poor Jim out in all this mess.    I am glad Jeff made it home.  At 4pm, I went up towards the bridge to get my haircut.  The traffic was already starting to get backed up.  They only had one lane open on each span for travel.  An hour ago, they closed the bridge for sustained winds. 

Puff - You be careful if you go out. 

E4E - Does sounds like a fun time. 

clynn - Beautiful snow pics.  I am glad that you got another appointment so quickly. 

kb - Love the pretty pic of Rutt.

oldguy - Pretty snow pics, too!

tsk - Did Tim say that if he got alot of snow in Door County?

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: tsk34 on January 09, 2024, 06:10:22 PM

PHYL   " monkfruit" sugar?  New one for me.

LISA   Good reasoning for Jeff.  If they had closed the bridge for wind before he got home would he then have had to get a motel to stay for the night?   Yes Tim got snow but the blowing winds were more of a problem for his exploring around up there.

PUFF  The heavy wet snow started at 1:30 .  Sidewalks are covered but don't think we have more than an inch.  Other burbs got a lot more! - We were on the line between rain or snow. It has stopped for now.  Will catch the weather in a bit on TV   You could knock off 3 of those states in one road trip!!  ;D ;D

CLYNN   At least it is still this week and not another month from now.  Wonder if doc got in at all...  Boy just look at your bird feeder view - WOW   You have a wonderful son and this little side job ( exercise and $$) for him is a good
idea.   ;) ;)  A win win - You get time with the munchkins  ;D    You have that monk fruit sugar?

KB  He went up on Monday so all roads were good.  It has lightly snowed there most of the day - Streets still OK BUT the winds are so strong it blows the snow making it harder to drive as he was exploring up there today.  Wisconsin is pretty good about clearing it's expressways which is 2/3's of his trip.   Glad you got a break on this one!!

OLDGUY  Golly, you really got a big storm - 13" mid deck - Impressive.  Now be so careful about clearing all that snow.
Maybe pay someone to use your new toy   ;) ;)

Hi Eagles  How's Chris's project coming along or is it finished?

Lani I had understood you correctly about 'the rim' near Payson. AZ.   ;) Your rim has an etherealness with the snowfall.


CLynn if the doc is no show ---nobody goes.   :(     Well, at least you can get in this week.  ;) Lovely photos of the  yard and all with the snow. You have a wonderful son and DIL to do all that for you/Ed. So glad you had some time with the Munchkins, too.   'Blue Magik', maybe a good thing to keep in one's panty. 'Mnemonic' poem that's a new one.

KB  Know you will ---but take care if ever out and about in this stuff.  Tks for update/photo on 'Rutt'. He looks great and majistic in that snow laden forest. Such a contrast  of his dark 'fur' against the whiteness of the snow.

Hi Lori lovely trib to CLynn's Kay.  Hope you had a nice celebration and all's well on your end. Unless I missed 'something'.  :(

Puff  that's a few states left  to check out

Tsk  "monkfruit sugar" from Blue Majik Keto-Paleo Pancake Recipe---a real new one for me!

OG  that's a lotta snow.  Y'all take care.  We have some in our forecast later--- in a day or so.

Beautiful snow pictures, clynn and old guy,  You have hit jackpot  on snow!  I like Bl’s comment on shoveling wet, heavy snow!  Terrible experience before snow blowers, etc!  I especially hated moving the snow that was piled up at the juncture of the driveway and the street that was left there by the street plows! Oh, my aching back!    Fo be careful!
Tsk, glad to hear Wisconsin is keeping up with their tradition of clearing the roads!  Even before expressways you could always tell when you left  Il or Wi by the road surface!   Lol!
Wind alert still in effect here until midnight but so far I am not aware of wind!

Phyl and Jim, good luck with medical appointments! 
Lori, waving at you!   Baz, how are things going?

Snow!  Erin brought their snowblower so he and Sydney could both work on the snow, he taught her how to run the machine and she did all the sidewalks while he did the driveways. Our lot and across the street are corner lots, so lots of sidewalk. They cleared 5 houses. there are a couple on the block who call him when it snows. They all called...  He said this snow was very heavy, I am glad Sydney helped. I bet they fell asleep as soon as they hit the pillow... A couple of branches down from the two pine trees we have on the street side. Another inch of snow today.  And a couple of pics of Bella and Sydney with the kittens!

tsk, glad to hear Tim is okay up in DC, he misses your trips up there, doesn't he... Yes, I have Monk Fruit Sugar, found it when looking for a natural sweetener!  Cold and foggy here right now.

Lani, Bella is so smitten with the kittens! The iPad was never turned on! Talon, glued to the laptop! So studious! Do you have snow on the ground? I can't keep track of it! Oops, my mistake, I didn't realize that the Grand Canyon was that far away from you, I should have looked at a map! So I looked up the Mogollon Rim, and it is a beautiful place! Definitely a destination!

BL, I have been to all the states on your list, mine are all in New England...your neck of the woods! Maine, NH, RI, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Delaware, New Jersey (landed in NJ when we flew back from England but I don't think that counts...). Wicked weather everywhere these past few days. Love your 'like shoveling mud with a pitchfork' description!

Lori, thanks for remembering Kay, Kelsey asks about her often. She's puzzled that someone else is living in her townhouse, and she talks about how they always went to Menards on Saturdays...

oldguy, looks like to got more snow than we did!

Lani that darling of a kitten looks like a 'Lykoi' or wolf cat (werewolf cat)  see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lykoi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lykoi); when I posted the photo of  berry pancake stack I checked out the recipe and thought of Aly; no confusion for me on 'The Rim' I knew what you were talking  about.

Morning all..

Have to decide whether or not to return our comcast/xfinity boxes this morning....in about an hour or so.
We've had a few rounds of freezing fog.

The middle of the street is the only place they've dropped salt (hence dry) and I can only see what I can see out my window. The drive across the street at the apts is salted heavily as they don't want the liability of a slip and fall to their door entrance or down the steep hill to the back for parking...
Perhaps it will be fine by then down my street hill and elsewhere? We shall see..

BTW, I've learned fairly easily how to work the remotes for our streaming services including you tube tv.

My orchid is blooming and a nice winter addition.

BL- of course, thanks for the map of Rutt's travels. I'm sure glad he followed my orders from two days ago!, LOL...to stay away from the Red River...good boy, Rutt

Wow that was a wild storm for this time of year at this local !
Pip & I are high and dry and we didn't loose power thankfully.
We live on 'high ground' and have never really flooded right here.

We don't presently live real close to any rivers, but my childhood home was right smack dab in the middle of the West & East branches of the Saddle River up by the NY/NJ border.
Someone a long time ago thought the river looked like the shape of a saddle. We lived "inside" of the saddle.  :-\
(Map image Below).
We were cut off from the world so many times as a kid I couldn't count.
Bridges that flooded over easily in every NEWS direction.  ::)

It's a real mess of serious flooding here in northern NJ .. again.   ::)   :(

tsk - If they had closed the bridge before he got home, he would have just stayed the night at his Dad's in Annapolis.  So, Tim didn't get to do as much as he wanted in Door County with the winds? 

BL - What are you waiting for...you only have 5 more to explore!  :D

oldguy - I hope you had some help shoveling, or if you didn't, that you took a break doing it.

karen - I am glad that you were not aware of the wind.  LOL

Lani - Yep, all is good  here, no power loss or branches down.  Also, good at Bradley's.  I hope Mike made out ok with the weather in LA. Sweet kitty!

clynn - Oh no, did the branches from the pine break your new fence?   Love the pic of Bella looking at the kitten.  Has Harley met the kitties yet?  The munchkins look like they had a great snow day!

Good morning on a chillier day in South .georgia!  Bright sun and no wind!  Fridays rain coming from the gulf and bringing warmer temps and possible storms again!  Hang on Phyl!   Local news last night and this morning showed a lot of damage around here, so we were lucky!   They say Valdosta is in a hole so that may save us!
Lani, I never confused you with the Grand Canyon either!   Your location has a softer look to it to me!  More forests!   La did take a hit in the recent storms!
Phyl, is your appointment today, or Jims?   Does he wear one of the yellow rain coats at Publix?  Have not seen one for a while but they are great !  Would love one.  Years ago, the man across the street, now since passed away, took one and wore it home!  It annoyed me and months later I returned it to customer service and explained where it was!   Have to go today to pick up a script!
Clynn, good for Erin and you and your neighbors!  Bella looks like her mother in that picture!   I was thinking that the kitties have her attention!  Computers, games, dolls,  not so much!
Good news Bl and Lisa!
Be safe and have a good day!

Royal Albatross update 1/8
Sharyn candled BOK (on nest) & WYL's egg yesterday
At day 54 (Sunday 7th Jan) showed that the embryo is still healthy.
 
This egg is a week younger than LGK & LGL’s egg.
Even though inexperienced with chick raising WYL & BOK are good at egg incubation

Video of Ranger Sharyn candled BOK & WYL's egg
https://twitter.com/i/status/1744138436502843869


We are now 10 days away from visual checks of LGK and LGL’s egg at Top Flat. When hatching begins the developing embryo moves into the air cell of the egg. Sometimes, sounds like scrunching can be heard as the membranes are broken through. There may even be a chick call. When the shell has a crack or pip in it for the beginning of hatching, we will remove it to the incubator. We hold the parents on the nest with a dummy egg until the chick has hatched. The nest will be sprayed with Avian Insect Liquidator* to ensure that flies are not living in the nest when the chick is returned.

The toroa colony at Pukekura is so tiny (just 1% of the entire world population of Northern Royal Albatross) that every chick matters. The incidence of often fatal fly strike** on this headland is too high to leave the hatching eggs at the nest.

The parents are happy to incubate the dummy egg and receive the chick quite readily when it has hatched.

LGK and LGL have raised 2 chicks that have hatched in the incubator with no incidence.

Although in-experienced with chick raising WYL and BOK are good at egg incubation. A candling*** of the egg at day 54 (Sunday 7th January) showed that the embryo is still healthy. This egg is a week younger that LGK and LGL’s egg.

*Avian Insect Liquidator is a bird-safe liquidator that repels flies. It is necessary to use a bird-safe repellent only as the respiratory system, being evolved for flight, is much for efficient than that of mammals.

**Fly strike and why is it an issue. Fly strike is caused by flies laying eggs in the flesh of the hatching chick and the resulting maggots quickly devouring the flesh they find themselves on. It is an issue at this site due to introduced flies that hatch out maggots supper fast and introduced grasses that hold the heat on the volcanic soils in this area. Fly strike only became an issue in the 1970’s and has become increasingly severe with the hotter, drier summers which are a result of climate change.

**Candling: shining a light at an egg in a dark space so that the inside is revealed. At this later stage of incubation, the egg is dark with a clear air cell like in the following picture.

LISA   Tim now home safe and sound.  X-ways in good shape.   He likes driving around the peninsula and noticing all the new building - lots of new condo's going up and construction galore.  Of course not much is open esp on M T W  but he knew that.

Surprised as York ave greasy, France clean.....go figure. They are only .5 mile apart...
Yah! I officially cut the cord...after 25 years of service the guy taking in my equipment back was a robot. The peeps on the phone were trying to keep us but nice when we said no.

Even got a walk in with Ollie later...now snowing lightly....think it might be a week or more Ollie man with the cold temps coming in...I mean like highs of below zero.

KB Rutt's updated travel map. 475 miles and counting from Alton, IA.   :)   8)

KB The Rutt map has been updated once again today 01/10/24.
His original confirmed sightings have now been added. 1 in Flandreau, SD on 09/16/23 & 1 in Rock Valley, IA on 09/22/23.

Rutt's travel map updated 01/10/2024.

Rutt's track up to 01/09/2024 ...

Some Rutt stats so far ..
From Flandreau, SD on 09/16/2023 (1st sighting).
- to -
Borup, MN on 01/09/2024 = 115 Days

Point to Point STRAIGHT LINE miles = 555 and counting.

A daily moving average (if he moved every day the same distance) which he did not = 4.8 miles per day.

Rutt obviously traveled many more miles than 555:
A) he doesn't hoof it in a straight line and ..
B) we have no way of knowing where his journey really started this season.

>> GO RUTT GO >>

I will update this map as sightings are confirmed by the Admins of this FB Group. See less

BL- yes I saw it was approved...South Dakota his first siting....I tried to follow the Red River from ND south, assuming of course he left Canada or even just the Dakotas to escape the fire this last summer. I was surprised how hard it was to follow it (Red River) on google maps...I assumed he went south and somehow crossed it or went south enough that he didn't have to?...before once again heading north through IA and then MN...Can you see where the Red River ends up?

It's exciting for me to see where Rutt ends up. And let's hope Canada escapes fires once again this upcoming summer.

Post by: kbshcb on January 10, 2024, 01:52:19 PM

BL - hmm, I'm reading wikipedia about the Red River now.....I guess it flows north!...who knew..so Rutt apparently had plenty of room to cross into IA or MN at the areas he did without worrying about it.
Confirm for me if you agree.

Edit: I'm obsessed with him crossing the Big Red...it now appears to me he may never have come from ND...but maybe south from even MN and crossed to SD...

My parents and brother are buried in that churches very historic cemetery. It's a very peaceful resting place high above but looking down on the east branch of the Saddle River under a lovely white dogwood tree that's under towering old oak trees with a stone bench for reflection.

Hello Beakers

I got my snow removal completed this afternoon - did get some help from a neighbor boy (about 10), so ready to do it all over again on Friday after another 8-10 inches... :P

KB - the Red river starts at Wahpeton ND - with the merging of the Bois de Sioux River (drains the area to the south) and Otter Tail River (drains from MN)  The Big Sioux River runs thru Flandreau (heading south) but is not very big.  Interestingly, there is no river along the SD/MN border south of Ortonville MN to the Iowa border.

Maru enjoys to his heart's content the Osechi box he fit into with effort   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFjAFNi7Oc8

BL - hmm, I'm reading wikipedia about the Red River now.....I guess it flows north!...who knew..so Rutt apparently had plenty of room to cross into IA or MN at the areas he did without worrying about it.
Confirm for me if you agree.

Edit: I'm obsessed with him crossing the Big Red...it now appears to me he may never have come from ND...but maybe south from even MN and crossed to SD...

Yes the Red River of the North does in fact flow from S to N kb.

Good catch kb we also assumed incorrectly the RR flowed N to S.

It looks like the Red River begins in Wahpeton, ND / Breckenridge, MN and does flow north forming part of the border between ND and MN.

It begins in name at the confluence of the Otter Tail River and the Bois De Sioux river there. Image.

We were also a bit confused on the rivers that Rutt did or did not have to cross to get into northeast IA from SD.
Don't forget the drought conditions this past Summer/Fall in that area.
Very low river levels might have played a part in Rutt's "unusual" track.
He might have had to only had to cross stoney river bottoms with a trickle in them.

Mature moose are great swimmers however, I've seen them swimming miles from shore on big lakes just for the shits and giggles of it.   ;D

Fast moving water may have triggered the no I don't think so instinct especially in a young moose not use to 'moving' water. 

The Red River was in flood between MN and ND when he got to Georgetown MN on 12 /30-31/ 2023.
He might as a young male moose been like what the heck is all that river noise all about_ head east young man.
Plenty of good crop pickings with low snow load right here in MN.

kb I thank you for turning me onto Rutt's big adventure.    8)
I'm not a big follower of social media, but this FB group was very positive and cool.

The best part of it all is we'll never know exactly where he came from , or why he did what he did , and where he's going ..  :)

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: kbshcb on January 10, 2024, 04:34:29 PM

Thank you both, oldguy and BL.

I find it interesting and do consider the big rivers important on his journey both coming south and north.

Just have to add, the Big Red is too treacherous at some points in the season and the area...I hope he does have that instinct...as I assume he must!

We shall all have to see!

Hi Beakers!

scattered showers today - 50 deg.

Clynn - I bet you & the Munchkins had a great time together.  So nice that Erin & DIL help you with things that need to get done!!  Good for Erin making a little $$ on the side with your neighbors! :)
Just saw the snow pictures - lots! ::)   Darling pics of Sydney, Bella & kittens!   Like the fun pic of Talon & Bella in the snow!

Phyl - Kris had finished his 'project' in one day!  We had squeeky box springs on our Cal-King bed and finally he decided to 'fix' the problem!  We are so happy and comfortable with our quiet bed now!  The wood and hardware had cost about $145.00, and it was well worth it!
Thank you for links! 

Lani - Safe travels for Mike!  I think you said he will be back on Friday??  Scary to be traveling in all this winter weather!    Thank you for Albatross updates.  Great picture of LGK!

Kb - Your orchid is doing really well! :)     Just watched the horsie & doggie vid - so precious!!!! :-* :-*

Bl - Good that you & Pip live on high ground. Always nice when you don't lose power! :)  Thanks for posting the flood advisory / interesting map & data of flooding - very amazing.
Beautiful old stone church and the cemetery grounds look so lovely.  Your parents & brother {{BL}}  So nice of you to share this about your family.  Nice that folks who visit can sit on that special bench and reflect.

Tsk - Glad Tim is back home now! :)

Og - So happy that you got help with the snow removal!!  It sounds like the boy will help you again on Friday!! That's great!

Hi Karen, Puff, Baz, Lori, Tig  :)

We had a wonderful evening with Kris' sister & her fiance, and stayed up until midnight!!  They left around 12:30 pm today and it should probably take about 3 1/2 - 4 hrs to arrive in Napa.   We didn't ask if they've set a wedding date yet!

KB   Didn't quite understand .  When you went to the Comcast store to return your cable box - a robot?  How sweet was that the horse and dog companions.  :-*

BL   I travelled a lot with a girlfriend for many years and one of our favorite things when hiking or the like was to go through old cemeteries.  You can get a lot of cool pics in them.  This is so cool that your parents/brother are buried at this historic site.  Thanks for sharing the pics.

OLDGUY   What Maru doesn't go through to fit in a box  :o   Penny in that crocheted hat  LOL   Yay for your 10 yr old helper.  ;)  How did you like your new electric shovel?  Snow too heavy for it???

LISA  The Door County peninsula is a very touristy place in season.  In the winter many stores and restaurants will stay open for the long weekends Th - Sunday for those who like to use the parks for cross country skiing or hiking or who  just like to be up there in the winter when it is SO quiet and you can cross the main drag without even looking  for any cars  LOL

tsk - sorry, let me clarify. A real human acted like a "robot"...wouldn't make eye contact. Made me take the boxes out of my paper sack, never spoke. Made me ask for a receipt. His first words then: then show me some id..got the receipt.
Otherwise, sometimes they try to charge you for them...always ask for a receipt.

BL, thanks for Rutt update... How interesting and special to learn about The Old Stone Church, it's rich history in our country's life. And a special peaceful place where your parents and brother are buried. Thank you {{{BL}}} :)... Ralph  ;D

Kb, awww sweet pup and horse. I'd love to know their story.

Oldguy, you just get the snow cleaned up and here comes another storm.... Miri is growing more and more into a Maru 2.... Take care.

Kb, BL, thanks for keeping us updated on Rutt. I want to know he's settled in a territory he can call his own.  :-*

BL, Gordon Lightfoot to close out the night.  8)

Eagles, glad you had a nice visit with your SIL and her fiance. Safe travels for them.

When Cigarette Companies Used Doctors to Push Smoking
Before studies showed that cigarettes caused cancer, tobacco companies recruited the medical community for their ads.

Sixty years ago, on January 24, 1964, the U.S. Surgeon General announced a definitive link between smoking and cancer. Before then, tobacco companies regularly recruited the medical community for their ads.

I could spend a long time there. And in that church and the graveyard ...

KAREN  Good luck with 6 mo. check-up  :)

CLYNN  Funny sheep.  ;D   Yes my main goals for January are done.  Wall to wall bookshelf in office and Quick Shined my wood floors.  Also emptied ( of moveable things) mud room/laundry and swept, swiffered and washed the floor twice!   The kind of job no one really sees.  ::) ::)   Now updating handouts my ministry uses for our clients.    So hard to even look at those old cigarette commercials!   Cool pic of the Mark Barker stealing its way into port....

LISA   I like the chocolate chip part of that cocoa  ;) ;)

LANI   How sweet - Moose and Elmo in the gym catching a snuggle.

LORI   GREAT wintry posts this AM .  Will be us tomorrow.  ::)


5 miles from me is a lake - I think man made and stocked.  On FB yesterday someone posted a pic of an eagle grabbing a fish out of the lake - I'm tempted to go sit there for a few hours  LOLOL

Karen, waving back at you! BTW, I sent you something in the mail & it got returned yesterday! Will email you about that. Clynn, you were a very good friend to Kay, I’m bet you miss her. Destini says thank you ALL for the pats on head & kisses from fur babies & beakers! Dad made me a jelly roll cake for my birthday, it actually turned out pretty good! Grandma is still hanging in there... now they want to cancel her medicaid due to some "check" that was cashed in the previous 5 years. Sounds bogus. If they even think about moving her right now they will get an earful from me. I did find out from legal that “if” there actually was a check that her benefits could be discontinued for 7 days.  They are getting her home they made that clear, but dang, Grandma is alive and shouldn’t they be focusing on selling her home “after”” she makes that journey to heaven? Enough on that... ::) :-\
Trying my best to focus lately… I started this message on Monday!  I hope all of you are safe in these storms, we lost power for awhile and lots of shoveling!  Thank you again for making my day very special!  Your friendship means everything to me!!  ;D
Hugs, love and prayers and stay safe!  Miss ya Lani, Tig, Clynn, Tsk, Oldguy, Lisa, E4E, KB, Bazi, pink, Blschue, T40, Lilbro, BrokenLug,  Nora, Jaspurr, Phyliz, EBURG, Karen, Jilltosa, Peep, Puff, Ssrl, Mass, Ezee,  MpMom, Godiva, Ginger, Oma, Weasel, Maxie, Lindy, Nanimal, Emyrauld, Nrstooge, Ruby, Paulie, F22Raptor, the Cheers group & ALL of you special eagle lovers!

We finally got some snow a couple of days ago.  And with it came the cold.  It is presently -34C with a windchill factor of -49C.  This cheery note came today from a comedian some have come to call Canada’s dad.

On a more positive note, my nose indicates I am healthy.

KB   How impressive was that ellie rescue.  Kleenix is right.  That little baby wanting Mama to get up.

BL   Massive storm.

Hello Beakers

An update on the weather here...
Because of the amount/heavy wet snow, there was some differences in the amount from Tuesday's storm.  I measured 13 on my deck, which was on the backside of the house of the prevailing wind.  The newspaper reported 15 inches for Iowa City and the local radio station reported 18 inches.  I do not every remember seeing snow firmly packed on the side of the deck corner posts before, to the point of more snow than wood on a 4x4.

Tonight's storm is expected to start about 9pm.  Both Underground weather and NWS is forecasting about 8-9 inches by tomorrow night.  Currently 20 degrees and forecast of 31 at midday tomorrow. I will have to wait and see how wet the snow will be then - but tonight's snow should be light and fluffy.

My power shovel did not work well with the heavy wet snow, but did fine with this mornings surprise 1 in. of light snow. (was not in the forecast)

At work today - by noon we had NO snow blowers in stock.  When I left at 3pm we had about 30 snow shovels left.  We was selling ice melt at the rate of 2-3 pallets per hour.  3 people spent the whole time keeping ice melt and shovels stocked.  We have emergency orders in for all of this, but can not get an ETA because of the weather forecast.

We will be getting 3 inches or so of fluff and cold. I should be able to get to the pool before it arrives in the morning.

Lori, wonderful cheery wintery posts! Love the duck and penguin gifs... awww your dad is wonderful to make you a jelly roll cake ... I'm sorry for the continuing issues for your dear grandma.  :(

Tsk, You've been so busy, you should go and sit by the lake sometime... We have a stocked lake here too, and a pair of eagles have been fishing for meals for years. I've never seen them. Aly's office was across the lake, and she's seen them twice. Go, sit (in the car, says Karen  ;D) , take a lunch, a book and enjoy the day.  :)

Kb, so glad the mom and baby ellies were rescued. Baby helped to wake mom.

SED Eagles, Puff, Baz, Phyl, Clynn

BL, Massive storm clouds and over Oregon too.  :(

T40 thanks for the link on the on the bomb cyclone and polar vortex.

Emy, "Welcome to January" LOL... terribly low temps... Keep warm and please take care.

Oldguy, Thanks for the links... Iceland update... Maru melting in the box.  ;D. ... the QKids, love Bellamy.  ;D ... take care tomorrow.

Good Morning Everyone...TGIF !  

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/93/70/78/937078dc8fa6291aa8882eab428eb4d5.jpg)

Currently 48F     High  57F sunny,  Low 21F 

What a day yesterday!  Maggie barfed in all but every room of the house, leaving blotches and trails  ...kitchen not so bad. Livingroom, stairs , our bedroom ---wingback with fitted slipcover and cedar chest---do you have any idea what cat barf does to wood finish?  ::)  From there the spare room (computer, study). My fault as I didn't think to add a smaller dish  to tilt her food dish. There was no problem with the water though.  Well now I know!
All that and chores too---I was worn out  by dinner. Afterwards,   still up as Jim wanted some 'research' on something.  I need a nap and I just got up!

CLynn this is your 'big day' with doc...wishing you the best!!

 BBL



Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats;
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Well, the Dr's office called yesterday, the doc I was to see this morning will not be in today so re-scheduled for Thursday. They promised to call me if they had any cancellations. Can't blame him, we are getting another blizzard today!  Windy and very low temps.

Phyl, pretty 365. Puzzling tracks, do wolves actually walk on all fours in a straight line? Wow! And the raised tracks at the end? Oh poor Maggie, she didn't know what to do!  The kittens are still up in our bedroom, Harley is here beside me. We take the kittens up to our room for the night so Harley can have some time on the main floor Soon he will be sent to the Mole Hole to be with Ed (which he loves) and we will bring the kittens down. We haven't really put them together yet, we are trying to get Harley used to the scent of the kittens. I think they are too small yet for a confrontation. He is a big cat!

Lani, love the picture of the Alby at sunrise...  Freezing rain and snow in Corvallis, OR tonight. 211 miles from Corvallis to Medford...

karen, my regular Dr put me on a statin, this one is also supposed to lower risk of heart issues. I don't like being on a statin either.

oldguy, glad I have a snowblower already! And plenty of Snow Melt.  It was always $6.99 for the shaker jug at our grocery store, even last winter. I got one earlier this week, it was $9.99. The Des Moines airport said 11.5" of snow Tuesday. Predicting around 8" for today. Wow, 3 people just to keep the snow shovels and ice melt on the floor!

tsk, well, now that you are done with your January to do list do you just get to lounge around and eat bonbons?  ;D ;D I don't think you could!  Sounds like a good way to relax, watching for eagles on a lake...

Lori, I hope you are able to get your Grandma's situation straightened out! Sometimes I am amazed at the little things that get attention when so much fraud is going on that they can't seem to control. How is Destini doing these days, has she had a spa visit lately?

Emy, brrrr... Do take care, I remember similar but not quite as extreme days when we lived in Duluth. And I was a kid with no cares!

Got to go get Kelsey up, she is usually up at 6:30!

GOOD MORNING

Our first real winter event has arrived.  Can hardly see across the street.  Schools closed and businesses in town.  YIKES
Will come in two phases supposedly

OLDGUY   Your storm has hit my back yard but will have no where near the numbers you have accumulated!!!  WOW
Volcano update  :o

KAREN   It is Beck Lake  - part of the Forest Preserve system.  It is very close to the Golf road exit on 294 south  I saw an oriole nest there - my first - a couple years ago.    Good  cholesterol.  Doc told me I would never get off my statin. 

LANI   It is on my list to sit at Beck Lake - but not today  LOLOL

PHYL   Yes I know what cat barf does to wood finish!!  Poor Maggie.  Hope today is a better one.  Good 365

CLYNN   Stay safe and cozy today.  I suspect the kids schools are closed?  Dang  what timing for your eye appt.  :(

Oh you scare me baby mountain lion!.....too cute.

Scary weather for many here...take care.

Eagles4 - Yah!....my watch charged itself sitting in the "low in the sky" sun....it's been running for over 12 hours now and only about 5 minutes late....the next sunny day I'll do the same for a longer time frame.

It's a relatively old (by today's standards) citizen eco drive watch...with crystals. I love it as Scott bought it for me with a matching bracelet about 18 years ago now...I'd be lost if it stopped working...I've lost many pieces of jewelry gardening (other bracelets and even a necklace) but not these two. Great locking systems on them.

{{{Karen}}} good  lab results...

Lani   lovely  sunset at Taiaroa Head, New Zealand
 
Lisa/Karen/Tsk the fracture is healed  And has left me with a  tiny, tiny bony 'bump' on the bridge of my nose. ENT wants to break my nose,  again,  and 'remove' the 'bump'.  Oh, I don't know about that  right now.  Maybe not good idea not to wait though?    Otherwise, my nose and I can get on like before the fracture. Doc knows it keeps hurting.

CLynn hopefully you're appt will be earler in the week; Brrrrrr! for you folks.  Jim was later for work---an  hour, then this rain, I haven't heard . Think I'll call him after 10am as he's suppose to be at lunch.

OG   Thanks for links; Iceland update; Q-Kids

Emy  Brrrr! Keep warm , take care

Bazi What 'ya doing?

T40 thanks for info on  bomb cyclone /polar vortex.

KB quite adorable bobcat kit  practicing hit's roar  :-* :-* :-*; good luck with the atomic watch. I never wear jewelery while working in garden and what all. Perhaps, you'll find it all one day or can get the items repaired whichever the case.

BLWeather reports show everyone  in US getting hit  with 'this' mess; next week we get snowfall...Jim wearing his parka at work as he's out in this all day being 'nice to the customers'  The South isn't suppose to get  SNOW


But, right now,  47F with heavy rain, lightening, thunder and dear old Mother Nature rolling around in her bed.  The high forecast is    58F  with Thunder storms. And
 Tonight a low of  27F.

We finally got some snow a couple of days ago.  And with it came the cold.  It is presently -34C with a windchill factor of -49C.  This cheery note came today from a comedian some have come to call Canada’s dad.

https://youtu.be/uQ5vL-zQtcw?si=V8jnD71LC871dGxC

On a more positive note, my nose indicates I am healthy.

Yikes Emyrauld. You do take care in those kind of temps.   :o :o

Good Morning!   
Rain supposed to start here soon and continue off and on all day until z5 or 6 pm.  Temps now in the 40s and will increase all day until it is 70 degrees at dinner time!  This looks like the end of our good temps for the near future and soon our first freezing weather!  I do miss the beautiful snows in Chicago and in North carolina.  The quiet white covering the ground and making lacy patterns on the trees is breathtaking!  Do not miss removing it or the dirty piles taking up half of the store parking lots!   Every place in the world has its charm!
Clynn,  sorry about your issues in getting to tje doctor!  Hope the next appointment is a go!
Had a wrist rebroken as a kid. Phyl. 
 
Tsk, interesting about the little lake!   Wonder if you live in Golf if tge eagles visit your back yard!   Love that little town.   Do not get out and do too much heavy work!
A former co workers mother lived in Duluth and got up every. Two hours, during the night, to shovel snow so she could get out in the morning!  Finally moved!
My friend in Springfield has a solar watch and it charges in daylight or in house lights!   Sun not required! 

Lisa, my step mother lived just north of Vernon Hills!   When I grew up that area was almost all farm land. Except for the area  along the lake!  Crowded now!    All take care and stay warm!   Phyl, what was tge result of Jims appointment!

Phyl - since I've been gardening front and back long since I lost my jewelry, I'm pretty sure where they ended up. In the lawn care bucket...I pick up loads of leaves and perennials and such and drop it in buckets or large cans...
Makes me wonder if one took a metal detector to the lawn care landfill what one might find!..but who knows, would be fun to find something in my yard yet.

A very long article but easy read....esp. as they have diagrams of the train that moves as it derailed in PA.
By ProPublica....not everything I read from them do I agree with, but this one seems obvious. Too long of trains with heaviest in the back and manual brakes on hills in the front!....what?...For those who want to understand the recent in time train derailment issue.
I gotta read while I clean for probably the next 10 days so...ha.

KB   Good news - your sentimental watch woke up   ;D    Can you imagine living that close to a derailment?

LISA  Vernon Hills is about 21 miles north of me.  I think we are at the southern end of this as Wisconsin will be buried as I noticed on the Weather Channel this morning.

PHYL   I didn't have to look up the Blue footed booby ;D.  Love that name  ;D    If the bump is tiny tiny than I would leave it.  Esp if it doesn't interfere with breathing or cause pain.   Noticed that most of those major storms happened in the NY area!!

BL   WOW  for EMY those temps are in F. 

Snow had stopped about an hour ago so went out and snowblowed 4" which is a good amount for our Toro snowblower.  It is heavy and wet.  I think we are getting round 2 later.  Will check the weather.  I do believe Wisc will be buried.
Just listened to the weather - This is it for now.  Only 1-3" more tonight.

Winter Storm HEATHER.

Quote from: TWC

A​s for what the storm will actually bring to parts of the South and East, here's what we know:

Snow and ice could spread into the Southern Plains beginning Sunday or Sunday night, then into the mid-South on Monday.
Some snow from this system might then spread into the East on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Details are still highly uncertain since there are questions about the track of the system as well as how much moisture will be available in order to produce any snow or ice in all of the above-mentioned areas.
C​heck back to weather.com for more details in the coming days.

Here's the one I'll be keeping an eye on once Gerri is done having his way with the USA.   ::)

Lani - I didn't realize you lived near a lake! That must be really nice. :)   Safe travels for Mike.

Thank you for 365-those wolf tracks!    Just read what the doctor said about your nose. That is a tough decision. {{Phyl}}

The pool was a nice 85 degrees and I did not need to go early. The snow was being held off by the cold, dry air over us. We went to a movie at 12:30. When we came out around 2:45 there was light snow.

Beakers take care - be safe & warm.

My high school friend Frank was playing football on his parent's large property just after his high school graduation.
When he went to throw the football his just received graduation ring went sailing off with the ball.
He figured he'd just walk the course of the ball and pick it up.
Many people for many days searched high and low for it to no avail including me. 

-30 something years later - Frank and I borrowed another friends pretty high end metal detector.
The property had been through a few owners after his parents sold it by then.

We knocked on the door of the present owners and explained the story and what we wanted to try do.

An hour or 2 of walking a grid in the area he remembered throwing the ball -beep-beep-buzz-buzz- 

You Know That No Way Look.
Dug out 2 inches under the grass lawn it was reunited with Frank B. the III.  :)

We thanked the homeowner for letting us look and letting us retrieve the ring. No lawn damage of course.   8)

They were so happy for him that they broke out las cervezas and invited us to their barbecue on the deck Frank's father had built.    8) 8)

Scott (my Scott) caught his big muskie through the ice on Rush Lake, MN....at the time it was the state record.
I don't know how to do the maps you guys did, LOL.

My sis says my nephew Scott is happy to catch a Northern or Walleye through the ice as he likes to cook.
They are staying till Sunday. It just surprised me how fancy it all seemed to me when she spoke about it! I didn't know one could rent an ice house.

My shed at the bottom of my hill in back is one of Scott's fish houses....so he did have 4 walls at times!
I don't know if he did when he caught the big one or not as I didn't know him then. But if I recall from his story he threw it out I think of a door so must have. Maybe that shed is the one? He had 5 on lakes at one time he said. Most were portables. I never ice fished myself so I don't know for sure, other than that Muskie on my wall and pics I have of him catching fish through the ice.

After we married he never went hunting or fishing again. I know I know, don't say it....whatever it is they say. It was on him not because of me. He became a real homebody...even more than I needed, LOL

Whatever it's darn cold today although no snow at Breezy point that I can tell.

Ok now that's really cool campesrtig.  8)

That is at least the 7th Lake Minnewaska I know of .. it being right next to your Pelican Lake in MN is way cool.   

There's one up the road from us in NY with the same name and spelling. 

An absolute riot in the Fall.

Minnewaska roughly means.

Quote from: SUNY New Paltz:

The word is believed to derive from two words, “mini” or “mine,” meaning “water,” and “waste,” meaning “good,” from the language of the Dakota (Sioux) nation, which was not local to the Hudson Valley region.

This is getting silly.  According to this Mastodon post, flights are being cancelled because it is too cold to de-ice the planes.  And to top it off we have a power grid warning to reduce electricity because 2 gas generators are down.  I will be fine…but could be seriously inconvenienced if this keeps up for any length of time.  We had the warmest December ever, I need to accept this  cold spell gracefully.

BL:  the system regulator is preparing to bring the reserve supply on stream, and if worse came to pass they would resort to rolling black outs where we would a be without power for a couple of hours at a time.  Personally, we have a small gas fireplace upstairs, lots of warm clothing.  Tricks we can use include filling up the bathtub and sinks with hot water and make sure the curtains and blinds are all fully closed.  If anything gives us trouble its the furnace.  Our usual goto is turning on the ovens and opening the oven doors.  With them being electric ovens that could be a challenge. 

We got the gas fireplace after the furnace conked  out at close to minus -40 anout 5 or 6 years ago.  With our first cold spell not coming until mid January, we can rejoice in that it is only a few months until spring

Only because I book trips there, I get Steamboat selling helps.  So far this season they've had 14 feet of snow - with a promise this weekend for 50" more.  So now we hear from another winter group of diehards. 

Again, from this mountain gal - never downhill skied.  Most CO natives do cross country.  It's a lot more enjoyable leisurely doing winter hiking (aka cross country) then you get to see/watch the beauty, magnificence of the surroundings.

Love the promo ads they send us to pump up and share the grandeur.

A few large ones we take photos and check online.... just thinking about having your nose broken again, makes my eyes water and nose hurt.  :-\ ...

BL, YIKES the temps in Canada! ... thanks for your updates.... The weather looks clear and may be warmer for the next ten days. Why aren't we getting the storm that's over Oregon and north of us? We need the moisture.... I just saw another update with maps from you. Thanks...

Eagles, Payson has a small lake, its in the old main area of the original town. In the winter, Geese, assorted ducks, swans live along the lake. The residents protect them, because of the coyotes, bob cats....  We have lots of streams and small rivers throughout our area and throughout. Lots of trout and bass fishing. Theodore Roosevelt Lake is less than an hour away to the south of us part of Tonto National Forest.

Lani. it’s on,y what we will do if the power goes out.  The furnace is gas fired but it needs power to operate, probably for the fan and controls.  We just work to keep the pipes from freezing when there is no heat.  We have had plenty of cold snaps, and although this one  iis a doozy it’s not a record and both my children are close by.  if we ran into trouble there would be someone to help.  I don”t think there are many other sources of heat if we lose power, but we are a ways from that yet.  I have tried many things over the years.  I even bought a pair of battery heated socks for a football game once in my mad youth.  They didn’t help much.  The batteries froze.  We just hunker down and wait it out.

Emy, Mike bought battery heated socks in his youth. Didn't work!  ;D ... I remembered we let the water run so the pipes wouldn't freeze.... I think your cold front is making up for December. Glad your children are close by.  :)

BL, my downhill ski days I could count on five fingers maybe more. I watched from safe distance... I was meant for the ocean sports only, Pacific  ;D

I'll share an arctic blast post from the past 2020.

Quote from: Emyrauld on January 17, 2020, 11:11:39 AM

Tuesday night was the worst.  It got to -40?C here (-50?C wind chill factor - - that is -58? American).  I was worried the pipes would freeze or the furnace would just give up and quit trying, but everything went well and I worried for nothing.  It is slowly warming up.  And by early next week we will be back to normal.

That is down right dangerously cold by anyone's standard Emyrauld.

- BL side - ambient air temperature -40 c = -40 f in an unusual C to F conversion.

I've been outside in that exact temperature exactly 4 times in my life.
4 out of the 4 is was not snowing. You know why - it was to cold to snow. It's a thing. look it up. 

Now doesn't that just warm everyone right the heck up.  ;)

I looked at the temp data from a weather station near you Emy.
That was a pretty darn cold week even by Edmonton, AB standards. 

I've been to both McMurdo Station and the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica in the 'summer' (Oct-Feb). 
It got down to ambient -55c (-67f ) early one morning in late Oct of 1985 at the south pole dome (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amundsen%E2%80%93Scott_South_Pole_Station#Dome_(1975%E2%80%932003)) as I recall.
The wind chill that night was some ridiculously cold non-human temperature.
No one was allowed out of the dome for 2 days because a ground blizzard was raging.

The south pole is a very dry and high (9,300 ft) white snow desert. It rarely snows there, but the snow that has fallen for millennium's is there, when the wind really blows (and it does often) oh' boy look out or not at all 6" from your goggles.   

I don't really remember the exact wind chill value and it doesn't really matter.
When ones nose ceases to exist and your eyeballs start to squeak in their sockets it's time to be inside of 4 walls.  ;D

Stay Toasty my friends.

 Had the KIA serviced yesterday and Jim forgot my credit card to pay for the work!  So up a bit early and posting  to run down to dealership and remit.
 I'm stunned that they let him take the car w/o paying. But, guess they figured it was a Catch-22.  ;) 
Besides,  they 'know where I live." LOL

Thank goodness yesterday is over! Wicked wind and snow! 4 right now, high today is 5, low tonight will be -16.  This too shall pass....  ;D

oldguy, I felt really bad for Erin and Sydney, they were here around 4:30 to clear driveways. They have five regular customers around us and they got an extra one while they were here! They brought their snowblower so they would have two. Sydney did all the sidewalks while Erin did the driveways. Erin waited until the snow stopped to come, but it was blowing so much! They did all in about 2 hours. Love the Mama Cat Song! Cute robot cast feeder!

BL, enjoy reading your stories, incredible story of the class ring, and WOW to Antarctica!  I agree, the wind chill doesn't matter much when the temp is -55!

Lani, I would also choose the ocean, although I remember the thrill of flying through the woods on a snowmobile!  I think we see things a lot differently when we are young... I also looked at the map, looks like BIG rain and even some snow coming to Oregon:
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/32/31/d2/3231d2c73dcf848e80d7a96c276fa785.jpg)

Emy, you are a true veteran of the wicked winter weather, sounds like you have experienced many trials and tribulations!  And yet you don't complain! (because it doesn't help...  ;D)

Phyl, and there is Bob! See Harley below, he is a distant relative of Bob's! Glad Jim is getting meds, hope they work quickly. Sometimes we just sit and ponder, what's going to happen next? Sometimes seems like there is always something...  Great 365 of the wolves, love seeing they kind of snuggling at the end!

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

BL  Thanks for the translation of the Sioux Minnewaska.   Wow  what an experience at the south pole - in those "warm summer temps"  :o

EMY   Boy, that is a serious situation.  Do you keep all your windows curtained/blinded?  I've never been in weather that cold...Be safe.  Reading on I see you are doing all the right things.  Gas fireplace is a plus!  You are well experienced with the cold, for sure.  Good to hear your kids are nearby.    LOL  " batteries froze"

PUFF  I really enjoyed cross country when I did it.

LANI  Your good night kitty looks so soft.  ;)    Hope your brain got a rest last night - I can sympathize  LOL

OLDGUY   Lulu happened to be on my lap when the robot brought the kitty food - Boy did she stare that one down  ;D
Wonderful piece that Mom Clark wrote about 14 yr old Cash   Good Santi video  " Porthos"  ;D

PHYL  Funny AM kitty .  Jim should be better in no time  :-*

CLYNN   Cute cat snowman retreat  ;)    Think EMY would be thrilled to get our -16  :o      (((Erin/ Sidney)))    Love when they turn warehouses into something else vs tearing down.  That's what they are doing to the old Chicago post office - huge facility.

Post by: Puff on January 13, 2024, 07:39:52 AM

Phyl  BPPV????

Lani  Now snowmobiling is something I have done.  Great 3-4 days in Yellowstone.  Town, accommodations, and rental just outside the park.  They close most of all roads.  Went twice, both times lucky: clear skies, low wind, obviously non-describable beauty, lots of bison. 

Try to picture this . . . First time there it was an awesome scene.  River with white swans, quiet, very quiet, with the black stems of the aspen trees against the pure white of the fresh snow.   Then came the realization of the black trees - It was the winter after the huge fire that claimed so much of the vegetation and trees.  It was sad.  But in the end it created a fantastic regrowth of the trees the next time we went.  If you get the urge, contact me.

OK - I HAVE to feed my birds!!!  Won't make all the stops, but things are empty!!!!  It's in the 20's, slight wind, I'm planning a safe route, my friend Stick, ground should be frozen  and hard for pulling my mini Radio Flyer of goodies.  But first I have to bundle me.  ;D   Zero and minus is at hand.  Good reminder about opening cabinets for tonight.

Later!

Good freezing Saturday morning all.

I have an instacart and amazon delivery today so am going to bundle up and sweep the snow off driveway and then might as well do the back decks as I surely won't want to in the next few even colder days.

I hear no snow west of Highway 169. I'm east of that highway...so, no snow fro ssrl and my sister.

kb  I find the cat's reaction fascinating.  The epitome of a cat's curiosity.
Anyone out there with tats ever had that reaction?

My quesstimate is 10 inches of snow Thursday night to this morning.  Haven't been hanging out with weather people, but walking across yard this a.m., that was about it in my area.  How about you tsk?

Stiff fingers still; colder than I thought, windier, too.  Had to abandon the wagon; snow too deep and top 2" frozen over.  But it was worth it.  Coming up into the kitchen I could see a couple goldfinch already chomping away on the nyger.  (Not sure, can finches actually chomp?)

Anyway - Had to follow orders.  I was getting threatening messages tapped out on the glass - Feed us or else!

When I left to go out it was 24; now at 21.

Puff Never been on a snowmobile before. That would be a trip!!  8) .. We've been to quite a few different ski resorts during spring breaks with the kids, but Copper Mountain sticks in my mind. I wish I would have explored snowmobile tour there. But a snowmobile trip through Yellowstone! Now that would be a something special! We've been there in the summer and experienced the bisons walking next to our small tour van. That was something!!!  ;D 8) ... how wonderful it must be for you to have so many special memories of your travels. I was looking online at the Lofoten Isles in Norway this morning. Have you taken the cruise around Norway? Or British isles, like Shetland? ...  take care when out feeding your critters. There's something ominous about tapping messages on your window.  ;D

Clynn A lot of work for {{{Erin and Sydney}}} in two hours... I've never been on a snowmobile, that would be an adventure...  10 straight days of rain for Medford, Mike told Aly maybe they will drown the fleas. Where Aly lives had an infestation of fleas this past fall. Poor Dewey had to have a flea bath on paws and tummy after every trip outside. I guess that's normal for her area.  :-\ ... so she's decided to look for another rental this month.... {{{Harley}}} ...Love the old warehouse/new apartments, a great idea .... -16 Take care

Kb - Sounds like your Nephew knows how to go ice fishing with comfort!  I've not heard of an ice fishing house! :)   Just read your Nephew's name and definitely your Scott is smiling on Scott! ;D :)    Liked hearing about your Scott's fishing days!  I remember you posting the mounted huge Muskie fish - quite a treasure in your house. :)

BL - Wow!! What an awesome story of finding that long lost HS ring!!  Such nice folks owning that property and what a happy ending with a cerveza and a barbecue!! ;D 8)

Tig - Pelican Lake  ;D  I can see how you chose to fish there all those years!!  Thanks for link.

Tsk - Lol! Tim just likes to drive out! I do too. ;D

Emy - Yikes, sure hope you are able to keep warm. :o

Phyl - Hope Jim feels a lil better each day. :)   Nice of the Service garage to have let Jim take the car without paying - they probably know and trust you guys! :)

Lani - Having lakes nearby sound like fun to enjoy during Spring & Summer months! :)   How wonderful to see all the variety of birds and other wildlife!! :)   You & Mike live in a beautiful area. ;D

OG - You were up really late (looking at your time of post)!  Amazing about Iowa. :o   Thanks for all links!  Love Quarantine kids - Cash is 14 years old now!

I need to get busy again around here, so I will be back later to catch up!  Beakers have a nice Saturday.  Keep safe & warm.

Scott (my Scott) caught his big muskie through the ice on Rush Lake, MN....at the time it was the state record.
I don't know how to do the maps you guys did, LOL.

KB I want to shoot you a topo map image of Rush Lake, MN.

As camperstig pointed out there is more than one however ...

KB there are 5 Rush Lakes in MN do you happen to know which one Scott caught the Muskie in ?

Lake name       MN County
1)Rush            Jackson          
2)Rush            Otter Tail          
3)Rush            Cass    
4)Rush            Sherburne          
5)Rush (East)    Chisago

BL - so far I've narrowed it down to:
Sherboune County or
Chisago County.

My guess at this point would be Chisago.....why?...closer to Minneapolis and he hunted in Chisago and had a brother who lived in Now Then and friends in that neck of the woods?

For sure not south nor far NW MN

Thanks...also he said due north?

Edit: Now I remember him saying Rush City! East or West Rush Lake I would have no idea.
Whichever had the biggest muskies is what I'd say, LOL

Lani - Bradley is still working from home.  Oh no, poor Dewey, and the fleas.  I hope Aly can find some place else.  Beautiful kitty this morning.

tsk - Wow, you and your brothers did get alot of snow. 

E4E - Hope you had a good Saturday.

T40 - Thanks for the videos, almost done watching.  :)

I hope all Beakers have been staying safe and warm.  We started out at 52° this morning, the wind started picking up around 11am.  It started getting colder with the wind, and it is still gusting every now and then outside.  I saw a couple days ago, that we were going to have 1 to 3 inches of snow on Tuesday, but that has now changed on TWC. 

Good night, everyone  :)

tsk, -9 right now, wind chill -35 with the 25 mph wind. Have not even gone out for the mail today... ::) At least 8" yesterday, airport said 10".

Lani, I talked to Becky today, she said they are getting freezing rain now, maybe some snow later. Not usual for them...  :o  Oh no, fleas!  Poor Dewey! I would look for another place too, she may never be safe from them if it's someone close by who is sharing them...

Puff, my bird feeders are almost empty, I need to get them filled but the door out of the deck is blocked by a huge snow drift and I can't open it! Need to go around the house, through the gate, and I bet I can't open it either. And then get the snow off the steps and the 12" off the tops of the feeders!  It will warm up to 1 on Monday, maybe I can do it then...

Lisa, I love old buildings turned into something useful!  There is a family business in Oregon that buys old historic buildings and turns them into businesses. McMenamins.  https://www.mcmenamins.com/edgefield/discover/history

LisaG - Savannah College! Nice to hear that Bradley went there! :)

Kb - Hope you take care with all the shoveling & brooming.  You are getting your exercise, and that's for sure!  But please; no over-doing okay? :o

Emy - Love your post for Caturday!  So cute!

Puff - So nice of you to go out and set something out for the birdies!!  I am still setting out 'nectar' for the hummers, but there are only a couple of them now.  I am wondering if soon, they will be totally gone and I won't see any for a while??  I guess I will have to wait and see. ;)

Lani - I have not been on a snowmobile either!

Clynn - Erin and Sydney sure are special to those folks in your neighborhood!!  Good peeps, they are!!!! :-* :)

Tsk - Wow!! Tons of snow for you too. :o  You & Tim take care with shoveling/brooming.

BL - That is so great of you to help Kb figure out where Scott landed that huge Muskie! :)

LisaG - Good to hear that Bradley is still working from home. :)   Yes, we had a nice Saturday- stayed home and did things indoors - too cold outside, even for us in Ca! :-[

Beakers stay warm and safe. SEDs  :)

Thank you for your time, BL I do appreciate it...I'm pretty sure you are correct..
I'm going to spends some time in the next few days reviewing some pictures a friend of Scott sent to me by computer after he died...it was a whole lot of time spent with a group of people hunting, fishing, and partying up in Isanti...He also had a deer stand I remember now in Mora MN...he hunted mostly alone but you know how the gang would all share their fishing and hunting stories while partying!

I have been "lost" watching a very good interview with Tal Wilkenfeld, the bassist that played at Crossroads with Jeff Beck. Interesting as I never have seen her speak, only play. She's from Australia and has that accent but also very together meaning doesn't seem so narcissistic.
Anyway, thank you very much.

eagles4 - thank you for your concern. I do what I gotta do in these temps and nothing more. Do to keep safe when I step outside with Ollie or have deliveries for example.
My right shoulder is an old injury that flares up it seems more with sweeping even than shoveling.
I only recently recalled an incident when I was a flight attendant where I'm sure the first injury to it occurred.
We were overnighting in Sacramento. In those days you had to double up with another flight attendant. It was a 737 and I was in a room with someone I knew pretty well. Well, a man entered our room from the adjacent door that some of those rooms have. Out of a dead sleep I grabbed the lamp to the right of me to throw it at him and it was attached to the wall...not by the plug only but somehow more than that and ripped my stabilizer muscles.
Turned out it was our captain who said he was sleep walking. Hmm, after bad words came out of his mouth he returned to his room. It was a big to do in the industry. You can imagine. My father was an attorney and he's the first person I called, not because he was an attorney but what the hey to ask what to do.
Somehow the hotel told the airline I called my dad who was an attorney.
Anyway, long story short I remembered this week that is probably the beginning of my long storied shoulder issues. I've had it injected multiple times, pt, consult with surgeon etc. I probably need another injection and maybe more snow to shovel and less brooming, LOL.
It's funny though how doing things late in life can suddenly remind you of incidents so long ago.

Currently: 34F cloudy,  tonight  20F above 0
On the way home this evening we picked up some #1 Chinese take out. Good time for egg drop soup.  ;)


CLynn   LOL kitty igloo; Harley is Bob's American cousin. I miss Bob  :'(  Caturdays are always a tribute to 'Street Cat Bob'
LOL John Candy 'when Hell freezes over'. Large cities worldwide have turned old warehouses and wharves into upscale high rise apts. Smart move.

Tsk sweet pair of kittens this AM. Maggie's better with the adjustment I made on that food dish. She loves to watch me type and play PC games. For some reason she enjoys watching the ISIS tracker app I have .  Dah?

Puff Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)   https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vertigo/symptoms-causes/syc-20370055 (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vertigo/symptoms-causes/syc-20370055)  I always feel like my brains are whirring in my skull. If I move too fast, esp to the right I'll topple over

KB really enjoyed the video of cat discovering it's mommies' tattoo, not an uncommon kitty reaction.

Lisa  your AM ginger looks a comfy. we just got back from dealer not long ago. My little Kia was all pretty again like the day I brough it home. Plus, my Kia's little tummy was full.  ;)  Are we gonna get a video of Sydney and Bradley on the drums?

Emy  enjoyed your Caturday post; Brrrrrr !I can hear your teeth chatter.  Take care.


Lani  adorable ginger kitten today.  Hugs and prayers for Aly/Dewey that the fleas get rained out and fly away.  Sending Aly much success on a relocation


Puff  our bird feeders have been constantly requiring refilling too.  Many are frequenting the peanuts in the squirrel feeder as well
Eagles Jim will improve w/his pneumonia . He wears mask and vinyal gloves at work and I think the breakroom isn't as clean as it ought'to be. He's been staying at Subway to eat more and more. We shall see.   That camp fire would be soooooo nice.  ;)

T40 enjoyed the videos  'Lets Get Physical'/ slow motion cat's yawn---seen plenty of those over the decades.

BL lots of interesting lake info for KB and others

CLynn  Sam and Sophie are irresistible !  If I were there I couldn't keep my hands  off of them. Good idea to just leave he mail. Y'all are getting drenched in snow. know you will---but take care



  I've never been in any of the fancy winter recreational vechicles.   ;) 
Iowa, Minnesota Wisconsin, etc. have  been hit hard as has so many other states.  An couple of eons ago while living in Joplin, Mo we  got 3.5' in one fall. For that area it was a lot and not common. All the tips and tricks y'all have been talking about I've done---facets dripping and cabinet doors open, etc. ---always kept the curtains pulled and they were thermal. The North East and The South will get their turn next week.

Tsk, With all the snow you and your family are experiencing...  I bet Tim's bro/SIL are glad they're in Florida!

Clynn, Kittens are adorable! Someday Harley will be playing with them too.... Aly says, the whole neighborhood has them. Inside/outside, playground... She's live in SF, Norway, Santa Fe, here and never had fleas before... Aly said, sun came out late afternoon... -9 right now, wind chill -35 brrrr, we were watching the KC Chiefs game and it was -7.... stay safe, warm and take care. The mail and bird feeder can wait another day.

Kb, I remember that great pic of the Muskie! Enjoyed your convo with BL.  :)

Phyl, prayers for continued healing for you, Jim and Maggie.

Karen, the fleas are around the apartment buildings, nearby playground, everywhere...Aly's trying to keep them out of her home, as does the neighbors. Doing all the things you suggested... you and Piper take care.

Thanks BL checking now.

Temp is -16 right now, wind chill -40.  Dang! It is more than cold! High today will be -6.  A week from tomorrow we will be back in the 30s, normal...  ;D

Puff, I think the Midwest is all in the deep freeze! Stay warm!

Lori, good morning girl! So good to see you in the AM!

Phyl, great picture of Audi and Jak! Nice and clear, they must have upgraded their camera! Hope you and Jim are better each day... Great 365, the cranes are beautiful and we are in Japan! That's new!

Lani, I don't think I will be able to get out to fill the bird feeders today! Maybe Wednesday, it will be 19! Like a heat wave! Sounds like Aly's whole neighborhood needs to be fumigated! Do they do that for fleas? Moving would be the best answer, and now she has another question to ask when she is looking -- is there a flea problem...

Abandoned Hotel Belvédère was an iconic Swiss hotel on the edge of the Rhone Glacier. It was built in 1882 by young hotelier Josef Seiler in one of the hairpin bends of the Furka Pass, one of the snowiest regions in Switzerland. The panoramic location attracted a pampered clientele who sometimes stayed for weeks during the summers.
The hotel industry in Switzerland boomed at the turn of the 20th century, and Hotel Belvédère's popularity increased with the opening of new railway lines. However, from the 1960s, the number of guests at the hotel and other Alpine hotels decreased due to faster and more powerful cars. The once two or three day trip through the pass became a one-day round trip, and guests no longer stayed overnight.The hotel closed a couple of years ago and will likely never reopen.

In Utah, USA, the Great Salt Lake has a railroad that divides the lake into two distinct sections. On one side, the blue waters mix with fresh water from three separate rivers, resulting in significantly lower salt levels compared to the other side. The pink-hued section, on the other hand, boasts almost ten times the ocean's salt concentration and serves as a habitat for salt-adapted organisms, giving it its distinctive pink color.

Oh, I agree tsk.  I wasn't complaining so much as comparing the two of us.  We have at times completely different environs but all considered the Chgo area.  Since I posted the earlier temps we both dropped a wee bit more.  But they are predicting sun - just not enough it looks like to get us out of the minus figures.  We'll see.

Good Morning Beakers

Grindavik is getting lava this morning (8am Iceland) - eruption started about 1 km north of town.  Some of the vents are within the new berms that were under construction.  Lava has crossed the road going north out of Grindavik, flowing west.   A second small fissure started very close to the houses - lava has entered the northern houses in town as of 3.5 hours ago - still looking for updated info.

Just heard from sis about nephew and friends Breezy Point ice fishing adventure.
First day, Scott only caught one small crappie.
Then, yesterday they rented a guide and a warmer ice fishing house. Not sure yet what that meant in terms of types of fish. But, caught more than first day.

Who knew such amenities existed....not me.

 are worse things than cold! The   Temps at swfl are currently 59  and were 69  yesterday afternoon!   Baby left alone for quite awhile and has been eating a lot of road kill rabbit!   Temps will top out at 61 degrees thus afternoon.

Happy Birthday Kris!  Sorry but I ate the entire Black Forest  cupcake Lori posted for you!   Maybe she can find another!

Not find much upto date info this morning on Iceland.  This was post about 40 min. ago, but not a lot of detail.  The town was evacuated last evening because of road damage - large uplifts and cracks - making it hard to leave town - but everyone did get out about 10 hours before this mornings eruption.  The small second fissure started about 4 hours after the first and was only 400 meters away from the northern point of homes.  Lava from this fissure has surrounded some homes.

This map might be of interest to us chilly Beakers.  :)

https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/exper/ndfd/ndfd.html#

It depicts where the FORECAST ( NDFD (https://vlab.noaa.gov/web/mdl/ndfd) ) Temperatures will either Tie or Break / or be Near  the historical RECORDS for a given station.

These are ambient temps in F° NOT wind chill temps.

Hi Max = Maximum High Temperature for the day at that station.
Hi Min = Minimum High Temperature for the day at that station.
Lo Max = Maximum Low Temperature for the day at that station.
Lo MIn = Minimum Low Temperature for the day at that station.

We'll use Sunday the 14th's Lo Max in Des Moines, IA as an example. (Sorry Clynn).  ;)

1) hover your mouse over the Lo Max Blue Box, Upper Left - this will populate the map with blue Temps. Zoom map in a bit.
2) click on the blue -9 number near Des Moines.
3) in the pop up box you will see

DSM - DES_MOINES_INTL_(ASOS) = Staion ID + (type of weather station)
NDFD:-9°F                                    = FORECAST Maximum Low Temperature for Sun 14th at that station.
Record:-9°F (1888)                        = the 1888 Maximum Low Temperature RECORD.
Data starts: 1878

So if the NDFD forecast hold true of (-9) at Des Moines it will TIE the Lo Max temp of -9 set at DSM
in 1888 on this date. In other words pretty Fn cold in any ones lifetime there.   ::)

Clear as mud ?   ;D

BL - I perused some old photos and interestingly I found a pic of My Scott with a fish and a white board behind him stating Rush Lake...and Coon lake btw, but it's marked from Rush Lake 1984.

Also found a deer stand pic, looks kind of flimsy to me but what do I know?

And finally a fish caught at the BWCA.

Many more but I won't indulge except to say I forgot he was like the Derby headmaster? as well..

Update on ice fishing in these temps:

I guess after all is said and done, fish don't bite in these temps...old high school friends though and a good time was had by all...but, nephew Scott happy to get on the road towards home as it was still cold!

Other ice fisherman and other lakes had a similar experience I'm told at other lakes.

Note to self: Don't try first time ice fishing in temps below oh say 25!

Well according to the Climate Prediction Center your temps should be in the "Above Normal" range on the 8-14 Day Temp Outlook.
What exactly those above normal temps are in the states along your route in January I'm not sure.    ;D

I think you said MD > Savannah > Jacksonville > Mobile ? (https://maps.app.goo.gl/iY5GusT1EVLcqFSz7)

Lisa , temps and conditions for driving look great along I 10 for your trip!  Monday it starts to warm up again.  Do not expect snow or ice unless there is some in Virginia and maybe NC!  Doubt it!   Meant to comment your  coffee cup sweater, earlier but got in a hurry this morning!

The little house finch was in the nest this afternoon!  Guess it was a little housekeeping visit and might be a tad warmer than a tree.   Speaking if which, I am interviewing one tomorrow afternoon .  If things work out I will cancel  some of the help!   Can always start it up again if needed!

Old Guy has been working overtime on the cakes for Kris, Wow!

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

I just hit a wrong key, and my whole post disappeared!!!  ::)  I don't have time now to recreate it, so I will just say that I hope All the Beakers are getting along okay!  :)  Zip and I are fine. I have been busy! I haven't been in The Beak, or on RRP Forum, since Jan. 6th - over a week ago! - so I have something like 20 pages to read to catch up and see all the news from The Beak! I hope all the Beakers are okay!  :)

Meanwhile, the Australian Open tennis tournament started last night at midnight my time on ESPN. You know where I was!  ;) :D  For those interested, I think it starts tonight, for "Day 2" live coverage at 7pm Eastern.  Live coverage is mostly on ESPN and ESPN2 right now, but some of it may broadcast on ABC channels some days, though I haven't checked which days, or even confirmed that - I just know it has in the past.  Replay of matches and highlights are on the Tennis Channel during daylight hours in the USA. Check your listings for times.

I look forward to catching up on all the news in The Beak! Take care, All!  :) :-*

Beakers, Thank you ALL so much for the wonderful birthday wishes for Kris!!!  He loved each and every post; from the Speedometer, delicious cupcake, vw bug, yummy cupcake, cake/candles, Happy bird day wishes, Handy tools, cute VW bus, Delorean Time Machine / yummy cakes, a Delorean with Michael J. Fox!!!.  Thank you so much!!!!  You ALL are the very best!!!! :-* ;D :) 8)

Such cold temps for so many of you Beakers.  I think we are cold when our mornings have been 31-33 deg or so, but that is nothing compared to other areas!  We talked with our son in TX this morning and he was at 9 deg.!

Tsk - Nice that B&T are in FL!
Puff - Stay in! :)
LisaG - I sure hope the weather warms up for your trip next week!   Is Jeff able to work from home during this winter weather?
OG - The Lava in Iceland  :o ::)  I bet all of you were happy to postpone the Saturday card game - much too cold to be out!
Kb - Cute pic this morning!  Sounds like your Nephew is having a good time and probably it helps to have the amenities! ;D   Love the stories of your Scott and his pictures!
Tig - Yumm!  Homemade pizza and TV - sounds perfect!
BL - You are so dependable with your weather updates, graphics, maps! Thank you!   That's right; no cutting into that lucious cake!Lol! ;D
Lani - I was going to ask about the owners spraying for the flea infestation, and I just read what you said about no fumigation is allowed on Aly's block.   That's too bad - sounds like it is a matter of health & safety.  I feel so bad for poor Dewey. :(
Karen - Enjoy watching that little house finch! :)
Baz - Oh no, so sorry about you losing your post, as you always write such nice stuff!!  You & Zippo have a nice evening. :)

Good night Beakers - keep warm & stay safe. Hugs for All!

 Enjoyed all the Sunday posts...weather updates and especially the 'Down Memory Lane' photos.

 It started snowing here about 5PM with a forecasted fall of 1-3" and  tomorrow another 3" on top of todays fall .
 Our current temp is 19F above with light snow. Tonight's low is forecast at 16F above. I know, I know, I know this is no  big deal for everyone here and elsewhere....But it's for us here in Middle Tennessee.  ;)

CLynn  LOL duck in beak muffler and scarf.  What a treat checking out the Abandoned Hotel Belvédère--what a shame.  Had forgotten that about the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Thanks

Tsk  those aren't just any 'ol 'gray ' kitties. Those are pure bread Russian Blue kitties. Their coat is really  a blue-gray.
Cute penguin  this AM. Playing catch-up on 'History of the World in 6 Glasses' tonight.

Lisa  I will be 'so looking forward' to that video  of Sydney and her Dad   on the drums;  a bit ahead. But, safe travels next week.  The Kia had been clean up and polished with a full tank of fuel, too.  There was more.  Cute cable knit mug cozy this AM.

KB enjoyed the wolf pup and mama; what a hoot the Twitter dog all decked out in snow 'gear'.

kb I found what I think is a nicer looking version of the Topo map of Rush Lake, MN than the 1st one from 1983.

The older USGS hand drawn paper Quads are topographic art IMHO.
I hold dear quite a few sheets that we use to navigate presently.

The battery on a physical paper map never dies.   ;)
 
Second Image. It's a cropped image from the USGS Cambridge, MN 15 Minute Quadrangle map Published in 1961.

The whole 15' Cambridge, MN map sheet is way to big for the forum image size limits.
1st image is a postcard of the whole Sheet.

I was thinking maybe you or Chris could print out the map image to give some location context to Scott's Muskie hanging on the wall.

Red Dot = BL's best guess ice fishing location for a Muskie like that there then. 

If you can find out the exact date, weight and length of Scott's Muskie catch from/on Rush ?
That might add to that very worthy fish hanging on the wall.

Throwing keepers out the door I get. SOP.

BL - Great idea!....I will do that tomorrow.

I found a plated date etc. that had fallen off it and took a pic of it. Sorry for the glare of my light.

She/he is 50 inches long and 29 3/4 lbs.

The date says Jan 2, 2000 which is interesting to me anyway.

I know Scott said it took the taxidermist an entire year to do what he did with the fish...and not to call him, he'd call Scott when done and he did. Is that what it's called, taxidermy?..I only know embalming, LOL

We met I'm guessing mid 2000 and married in 2001..the fish came with him to my house Dec, 2001.
He loved loved loved to tell that fish story and got very animated when he did so!

I'd only add the map should maybe be laminated..He has laminated topo maps of local lakes I still have but not of Rush or others and they've held up well.

Thanks so much

What is Blue Monday?   And is it really the most depressing day of the year?

The third Monday in January has been coined "Blue Monday" and is suggested to be the saddest day of the year.

Phyl, fun watching the red-crowned cranes in the 365!  Pretty donuts!  -11 here right now, high today is 0. What a perfect birthday cake you found for Kris!  I think I will not be sad at all today, thanks for the warning! Never heard of Blue Monday!

Lani, did you get snow this weekend?

E4E, glad Kris had a great birthday!  Many more to come!

karen, it sounds like you are doing great, I agree, a housekeeper would be good, that is mainly what my Mom's help does when they are there. She has 3 days a week, 3 hours each day. Would you be able to ask for someone once in a while if needed? Mom saves things she needs help with for those days when she has help. Works out good.

Lisa, bet you are looking forward to seeing your Mom! I will be doing my Spring visit by myself in April. My sisters and I are planning to all be there for her 90th birthday, in November!

tsk, what will you be busy doing today? 

oldguy, have been looking at more videos of the volcano in Iceland...so sad for those folks...

OG tks for update on Icelandic volcano ---those folks have been thru so much

Karen a housekeeper would be a great idea.  I often find my self 'wishing' for one.

Bazi   >:(     loosing ones post before ya can post the thing.

CLynn  Blue Monday, I shan't be sad today either. LOL   Our currant weather is unusual for Middle  Tennessee---but not unheard of.  I took some snaps right after I got   up  this morning---the cardinals were all flittering about and frequenting the peanut feeder.

Enjoy these rich chocolate cupcakes. They are a moist, chocolatey, strawberry chocolate treat. These chocolatey cupcakes are topped with a homemade strawberry buttercream frosting that is thick and creamy. It’s made with classic buttercream ingredients along with marshmallow fluff and a strawberry puree made out of freshly chopped and strained strawberries. This gives them a light and fresh flavor that perfectly complements the chocolate cupcakes. Enjoy Jilltosa & the beakers!

📺 SLOTH TV

🦥Sloth Preschool Update:
Moose, two-fingered sloth: He is taking well to a full-smoothie diet and currently weighs 702 grams. He is growing, eating well, and remains active–a healthy baby all around!
Grover, two-fingered sloth: He is on a full smoothie diet now and is over 700 grams. Grover is healthy and stable.
Binx, two-fingered sloth: Currently at 900 grams, will hopefully graduate to Sloth Elementary soon! We have noticed some potential symptoms of a health issue, so she is being closely monitored at this time.
Elmo, two-fingered sloth: Nearing 900 grams and growing fast! He is stable and enjoying time on the sloth playground.
Fergus, three-fingered sloth: Fergus is undergoing nebulization treatments for potential pnuemonia. He has a reserved prognosis at this time.

NEW ARRIVAL Nazli, two-fingered sloth: Nazli came to us after her mom was electrocuted. She has a wound on her nose, potentially from the fall from the powerline. She currently weighs 418 grams but has been steadily growing. She is still spending nights in an incubator and has a reserved prognosis at this time.
NEW ARRIVAL JJ, two-fingered sloth: JJ was found alongside his electrocuted mother with no obvious signs of injury. He is eating well and has a fiesty personality. He is a little over 400 grams and has been spending nights in an incubator.

🌳Sloth Elementary Update:
Ken, two-fingered sloth: Ken has taken well to smoothie and is gaining weight. Introducing leaves to his diet and spending more time on the Sloth Playground!
Phoenix, two-fingered sloth: Slightly underweight for his age, but stable and growing. We are keeping a close eye on his leaf intake and making sure he gets enough smoothie.
Roo, two-fingered sloth: Roo is eating more leaves and is almost fully weaned off smoothie! Spending more time in an outdoor enclosure.

🎓Sloth University Update:
Coco, two-fingered sloth: Currently in one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures, eating well and likely the next to be released.
Pax, two-fingered sloth: Pax was recently moved to one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures. He is growing fast!
Myrtle & Spike, two-fingered sloths: Neck and neck in weight, competing to see who will be next to go to the pre-release enclosure. We are getting ready for them to graduate to the next stage!
Antonio, two-fingered sloth: Our smallest graduate, but working hard to catch up to the others. He is stable and growing well.

🥀In Loving Memory: :-*
Liana, two-fingered sloth: Liana has encountered a bump on her road to release and was transferred back to HQ for a period while she is being treated for severe anemia. We are working hard to get her healthy again, but she has a reserved prognosis at this time.

Update Mimi, two-fingered sloth: Officially over the 500 gram mark and is slowly being weaned onto smoothie.
Mimi is adapting well to life without a hand and has been learning to climb. We are so impressed with her progress so far!  :-*

Hi Puff, Here are links:

https://www.explore.org/livecams/sloth/toucan-tv

We are a small, dedicated team. We ask for kindness and patience as we post updates. We strive to update the explore.org community biweekly.

If there have been changes, we will work with our veterinarians and caregivers to develop thorough and complete conclusions about illnesses and deaths before announcing anything. You are watching a nursery hospital, and there are developments on these animals' health daily.

Our mission and the eventual goal for each animal (you grow to love on this camera) is destined for a life in the wild. From the bottom of our hearts, we understand how easy it is to become emotionally attached to these remarkable animals. But at the end of the day, they are wild animals who deserve the best chance at life back in their home - the rainforest! As we grow to love these animals, we hope you can also understand the joy of moving them through our various rewilding programs to have a full life #backinthetrees.

Blue  Monday  was a hit song in 1983 by a British singing group!  Clynn I love the red in your morning post!  So pretty and cheerful!   Put on a red shirt today!    Lani, bright red flower in your greeting to Jiltisa!    Thanks for the sloth report!

Jiltosa, Happy Birthday and enjoy your day!   Sorry to say that I ate the cake Old Guy posted for you!  It was delicious!

Old  Guy,  thanks for the BlueGrass Music!   It   took me back to my days in Asheville, North Carolina and Friday  nights during the summer with “Mountain Music”  and clog dancing !  Good times. And I wonder if they still do this  on the Green!

Muskies, My mother was the parent who caught  them, summers in Northern Wisconsin and my Dad  caught the bigger walleyes.   I grew up eating both if them, cooked a lot of different ways.  I like fried walleyes and do not care for Muskie!  Believe me, as a chicken eater I can assure you it does not taste like chicken!   Fried alligator tail does taste like chicken!
Lisa, good that the coasts are clear for your up coming
trip!  Interesting that you can get on I10 in Jacksonville. fl and go all the way to Los Angeles!

The Lee A. Tregurtha arriving in Duluth, MN just moments ago!
As the Great Lakes Shipping season comes to an end, the Lee A. Tregurtha makes one last pass through the Duluth Canal before its winter layup.

4 days ago in Superior WI
She delivers taconite...a WW2 ship still in service.

Did take a 45 min nappy poo....
However, I do think my pup, Ollie man, is telepathic..no I'm not kidding. We are quiet. He can "see" through floors.

Because he was occupying my whole bed I tried to nap on my couch. Not 5 minutes later he's upstairs sitting on the floor next to me staring/begging....okay, okay. Come on up...and up he came to nap with me. :) :)
BTW, I adore him.

I forgot to add....we have no snow on our roofs....snow is such a great insulator but with no snow these temps feel much colder inside the house..waiting for next weekend ;)

We are having our first snow today, nothing like the rest of you all have got tho.  It is a dusting at the moment, but they are saying possibly 1 to 3 inches. 

Oops...just realize that my post has been sitting here all morning, so added more to it!  ::)

baz - Good to see you!  How is the new fridge?

karen - Leather legs in Florida!  ;D ;D

E4E - Brrr, 9 degrees in TX!  The State use to give "snow days", but ever since the pandemic and they were allowed to work from home then, the State did away with "snow days" and just said telework from home if you can.

Phyl - Stay safe and warm with all that snow you got, and are going to get.  Thanks for the 365.  Interesting about Blue Monday. 

Lani - Love that good night pic.

clynn - Love the decorate a tree for wildlife.  I actually has seen that done on one of the Hallmark shows a few Christmas' ago.   I am looking forward to seeing my mom.  Aww, I bet your Mom will be so surprised that you all will be there for her 90th. 

tsk - BRRR -13°  :o

kb - Cute lil Quokka.  Great pic of The Lee A. Tregurtha

Lani - Thanks for the TRR update. 

BL - YES, I'll take those temps, after today!! (doing a happy dance)   ;D

karen - That is on my bucket list for a drive!  Thank goodness I like to drive.   ;D

Not much snow....but -5 at the time this pic taken..probably landing at MSP by swinging around east to then the west.

kb - That is a cool pic!

We have a few more inches of snow since this morning. Currently, 14F cloudy skies with forecasted high 19F  and a nighttime low of 8F.
Jim got home 30 mins. ago and declared that the roads weren't clear at all...the city had done nothing...not even the interstates were clear. 
The birds made a royal mess of our deck---the snow had piled up 8' or so high on rails and all their carrying on made the deck look crenelated like a Medieval castle. No surprise it was the Starlings---they're like a gang of rowdy cattle hands fresh off a long drive!  ::)

So glad to read that everyone isn't having a 'Blue Monday'. Ha, ha, just a load of 'malarkey '. But it was 'fun'.

Thank y'all for the wildlife updates,  local weather reports and snow photos and all.
Lots of pretty and sweet  looking  birthday greetings for Jilltosa.  ;)

We're having BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, a brew each, green salad; Jim gets cole slaw , potato chips.  Maybe some hot soup too. Later---double chocolate hot chocolate with...you guessed it, Reddi Whipp rosette .

NES -Nashville Electric Service has just sent a power alert  e-mail. To conserve we must turn our thermostats down to and set  to 55 degrees during the day to avoid loss of electricy and heating.  :(

Hi Puff & Baz!

Kris had a nice birthday lunch yesterday.  He & I and my Mom & sis went to a nearby town (San Juan Bautista) and had delicious Mexican food! ;D

Kris' sister & her fiance are coming back tonight!  They were supposed to fly out on Saturday back to CO, but because of the weather conditions, they decided to stay at a Motel for a couple of nights thinking that they would fly out today, but again, their flight is postponed.  We told them to come back here, so they will be back tonight! 

Beakers have a good night - stay safe & warm.

oldguy, wow on your deck!  Grindavik, so sad for the people, praying something will work out for them...

E4E, a nice dinner out, and you got company again! Yes, I drive to Mom's by myself a couple of times a year. It's only an 8 hour drive, interstate all but the last 80 miles. I listen to a book on CD and it goes pretty fast. Then it really slows down once I get there...very small town of 2000. I will get together with my old high school friends and Mom and I will go shopping in Evansville, and I will visit with both of my Aunties. It's my repose from Kelsey and Ed...  ;D

kb, great pick of Minneapolis, I have been on some of those streets!

Lisa, so how much snow did you end up with? We don't usually get this much snow all at once. Maybe this will be it!  Ha, but I can wish!  I remember snow as early as October 10 and as late as May2... But then I lived in Duluth for 3 winters, and this is nothing compared to that...  :o

-8 degrees

EAGLES   Weather has had an impact on so much travel lately.  Nice that you could accommodate them again.  :)

OLDGUY   How sad was that aerial video on how far the lava had flowed into town.  Very sad in not knowing what the future holds for this town and the loss of community they mourn.  Interesting about the water/pipes sources for heating.  Seems insurmountable  that the town could exist again.  :'(     Interesting piece on cats hot/cold.

CLYNN  Nice to have 2 kitties who seek each other for comfort.  Lulu is definitely a lap kitty.  I try to crochet when she is sleeping  LOLOL    Good snow pics this AM  :)

Many thank for the beautiful, and delicious, birthday greetings! I have reached the age that is the same, not only forwards and backwards but upside down too!

I have been checking in frequently and have rejoiced with some of you and often said prayers when I read other posts; I have definitely been here in spirit!

For several years I have been dealing with a situation that became extremely frustrating the past 3 years, despite the intervention of the alderman!!! When I worked on my thesis a long time ago I found out the importance of documentation! What I saw this past Saturday gives me hope that the situation is finally resolved! The city snowplowing was quite different!

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE BIRTHDAY GREETIINGS, FLOWERS, AND MUNCHIES. I am happy to share them!!!

Looking out into the retention pond about 12:30 PM. Easy to see The birds made a royal mess of our deck---
the snow had piled up 8' or so high on rails and all their carrying on made the deck look crenelated like a Medieval castle.
 No surprise it was the Starlings---they're like a gang of rowdy cattle hands fresh off a long drive!

Jiltosa, good to see you post!
Puff , where is the freeze in your pipes?  Water in the house?  Not broken?
Hope the plumber is there by now and that you are taking a nap!

Phyl, beautiful snow pictures!   Enjoy the beauty from the warmth of your home!  It will soon begone!   Then back to the dead look of winter and the summer wait for  the awakening of spring!   Very pretty in your patch of the world!
Hard freeze warning for us tonight and tomorrow night!   Only in the twenties!   Hade hha put covers on outside faucets. Yesterday and will probably move the petunias off the front porch to the screen porch where I have a wrought iron  stand that  I  cover wit a plastic  cover that  I got from a furniture store years ago.   It was the cover for a twin mattress and slips over this stand perfectly.  Acts like a green house!  Will see if it keeps these flowers  alive. Oretty sure the geranium will make it  and the poinsettia. Going to get busy!

Post by: jilltosa on January 16, 2024, 01:34:25 PM

TSK This photo, taken from the end of my driveway, was most often they way it was done. It would take at least three hours until they would come to finish the job. The remaining snow would be plowed to "my" side of the street. What would take so long for the job to be finished I do not know -- you know the size of my little "neighborhood." For someone who retired before computers were widely available in elementary school classrooms I have become adept at using PowerPoint. Unfortunately during this frustrating ordeal I lost interest in using my camera for its usual purpose. I do not enjoy using it for documentation. Last March I "felt a tap on my shoulder at 4:30 am" and I knew I should get on my robe, jacket and hat and grab my camera and get out to the end of my driveway. Within about three minutes the plow came through doing its first pass and then a few minutes later came through doing its second pass -- like it usually did. No more passes for several minutes so I went back to bed. When I got up at the usual time I knew I had to shovel. I was not really surprised to see that no more plowing had been done. While I was shoveling my driveway a plow came and did three passes pushing all the snow to my side. It was after 8:30 am. Fortunately this driver changed the angle of the plow when he was approaching my driveway!!! But what happened this past Saturday with the plowing after our third snow of the week leaves me with optimism!!! I welcome that!!!

jilltosa - I live on a no outlet street too, and the plow job in your pic looks almost like they do my street, except the plow usually is like a wall at the end of your drive.  And, when we go out and remove it, they come back and make another wall. 

karen - I don't think our snow on this side of the bridge was quite as bad as the other side. 

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: Puff on January 16, 2024, 04:29:16 PM

Ah yes, the saga of the pipes. . .

First, tsk Most of my pipes are well into the rooms of the house or walls insulated/protected.  Kitchen wall has 5 ft (?) small passway for fridge/icemaker and one short dishwasher feed.  That leaves kitchen sink set in about 1 foot from wall.  That's the one that calls for the open cabinet for sure.

Water problems have been an issue from the start.  About 5 years into the house foundation small cracks/problems would cause inch or so of water to flood 3 or 4 areas of the downstairs level.  Cracks tended to get worse.  I'm guessing about 8 times we had to do the shop vac, beach towels, squeegy routine.  Not all that easy on the bad knees and backs as we got older.  Other problem was Ton's room with the carpet down there.  That room required pulling up part of rug and also removing paneling where crack was.  (Or, as the professionals called it a settling fissure).  But they sure knew what in the ell they were doing.  In less than an hour they chipped out the crackes, prepared the seams, and took 3 swipes at filling each of the areas a little at a time.  I very highly recommend the company and technique.  Just like that - 1 hour, $600, no more of that crazy/hard cleanup.

U. S. Waterproofing!  I don't know if they're all over the US.

Only water is the lower level this time was a tad bit with a new higher up small start.  The issue was that a drainage water pump got clogged up and froze because of the water in the outside drainage setup.  We did have rain about 2 weeks ago.  Water from pump drainage and roof fall-off was being sent thru a 1" pipe into a 2" drain to the yard.  The fellow today found a crack in the 1" that started the stopage, which led to a backup, which led to freezing, leading to blockage that dripped water in a circle motion out to the foundation ground and back into the pump.  Pump then was going on for 15 sec and off for 30 sec routine.  I didn't know anything.  Even to shower I'd look around to the back room and didn't see, or hear, anything.  Until I went in bedroom upstairs to watch Bulls game!  Oh God NO!  Hard to sleep when you can hear and count the seconds between cycles.

Calling around til about 8 o'clock all I got was answering machines.  Finally one of our plumbers said he'd get someone for 8 in the morning.  Because of the  weather, time of day, lack of water, and plumbers on serious all day work/disasters, I said sure.

Damages: Re-ran new outside run-off setting.  When pipes thaw and ground thaws it will be reworked.

He also told me I don't have two pumps in the "hole".  I have 3.  Why would there be 3 is the question.  Tony is the only one with a for sure answer.  :-\  And, he said one is an alarm pump that signals when it is malfunctioning.  Yeah?  That one has been ruined by me because he liked it when I didn't asked things (judged, questioned).  So because I didn't check the water level -- I killed the battery.

New battery was the bigger amount of the bill.  If I don't want to worry about the water in pump #3 - I can now buy pumps that don't require but maybe one check-up a year.  $365 for battery I have now.  $2,000 for low maintenance battery.  Duh - let me think.   :D

I now have to talk to neighbor to explain pipe laying into his yard is temporary.

I know for sure plumber is tired to the core so I won't complain about my own last 24 hours.  Can you imagine -- all the problems, all the cold, long hours.  He has had a whole lot worse day than I.

oldguy, lovely goodies for Lani!

Puff, what an ordeal....

Lori, the lemon blueberry cake looks so good! You find the most delicious looking food!

Phyl, Lisa and any others that don't usually get much snow, this storm was a doozy!

Glad I wasn't here for this one, oldguy probably remembers...
The April 1973 snowstorm was a severe weather event that affected several states in the US, including Iowa. The storm was dubbed as Iowa’s ‘worst spring storm in at least 80 years’ by the Des Moines Register and Tribune1. The blizzard raged over parts of eastern Iowa and southern Wisconsin on April 8th and 9th of 1973. It brought heavy snowfall, coupled with 50 to 70 mph winds, which completely shut down traffic. Plows had been dismantled and the intense snowfall and winds caught everyone by surprise. More than 18 inches of snow fell in some parts of Iowa, with winds reaching 65 mph1. The early April 1973 blizzard left more than a dozen Iowans dead and killed countless livestock. Some parts of Iowa saw drifts as tall as 16 feet1. The storm’s toll was huge, 14 Iowans died in the blizzard.

Clynn - I was attending the U of Ia at that time.  The storm hit on the weekend, when everyone was returning to town after spring break.  The University shut down for 2 days - the first weather related class closure ever.  Not because of students not in town, but because the faculty and staff could not make it back to town.  I spent 2 days with a snow shovel at the east side dorms to get vehicles unstuck.  We had 14 inches of wet heavy snow.

Lani, hope you are having a nice birthday! Love the picture of the little 7 year old sweetie! Was it your birthday when the picture was taken?
BL, I would love to supervise Lani while she watches those guys dance _
Sorry Clynn these guys cost a fortune, a 1 time showing only for the B-Day Girl.   :)
We'll send some hippies like us your way when it's your day. Stay toasty,  ;)
~  Glad I wasn't here for this one, oldguy probably remembers...
The April 1973 snowstorm was a severe weather event that affected several states in the US, including Iowa. The storm was dubbed as Iowa’s ‘worst spring storm in at least 80 years’ by the Des Moines Register and Tribune1. The blizzard raged over parts of eastern Iowa and southern Wisconsin on April 8th and 9th of 1973. It brought heavy snowfall, coupled with 50 to 70 mph winds, which completely shut down traffic. Plows had been dismantled and the intense snowfall and winds caught everyone by surprise. More than 18 inches of snow fell in some parts of Iowa, with winds reaching 65 mph1. The early April 1973 blizzard left more than a dozen Iowans dead and killed countless livestock. Some parts of Iowa saw drifts as tall as 16 feet1. The storm’s toll was huge, 14 Iowans died in the blizzard.

That April 8 - 9 1973 Iowa Blizzard looks and reads absolutely like a humdinger Clynn and og.

I do appreciate the advances in winter weather prognostication more now than 50 years ago.  8)   

Not an exact science I get it.

It is not a quick spin up Tornado.
That Storm it's a coming put the plows back on. 2024.  ;)

I can see from what I read why you both remembered that storm.   :o

It is a stern stark hard cold hard fact reminder that cold harsh winter weather like this around the country does take peeps.  :(

If you are able check in on human beings do so you are their bomb.   8)

And. . .I didn't forget Lani.  I'm always johnny-come-lately.  No bragging or trying to win an award - just sitting up now since 4 waiting for something good to fall into place. 

With all the island greetings, flowers, and yummy calories Lani has to have got the feelings of good cheer from us all.  Either that or we're envious and wish we could be back there.

Time for another tea - and a bit more waiting.

{{{Puff}}} thank you for the island greetings, I feel everyone's good wishes and aloha! I'm envious, I wish I could be with you, sitting and enjoying a cup of tea and watching your birds enjoying their feeder.

Oldguy, I love my beautiful birthday treats! Especially, the slippers, some call them flip flops, In Hawaii we call them slippers, because my mother and grandparents called it "slippas!" Sometimes if a child (keiki) is misbehaving you can hear an aunty or grandma calling out "where's my slippas!!" And the child goes running! Thankfully, I've never had a wack on the back of my legs with Aunty or grandma's slippas!  ;D  A little Hawaiian tale to share.  ;D

Thank you Beakers, Puff, Tsk, Tig, Lisa, Clynn, Phyl, Kb, Karen, Eagles,  Love my beautiful Hawaiian birthday greetings, cards .. Phyl love my beautiful cake....  

Clynn, sweet kittens... Love the foxes on the roof... the photo was taken by a neighbor who had a camera. We didn't have one. I remember it was a little brown box camera and he was visiting my mother.... 1973 was our first year in our Kansas home... oh my what a snow storm that was.. Terrible photos of the blizzard  :(

Puff, sorry about your frozen water problem. It's good they can do a short term repair until thaw. I pray warmer temps come soon.

Phyl, I can understand your feelings about Maggie this is her time.... Norman and Milo are almost eleven years old, and now after 5 years with us, this is the first year they trust me enough to want to sit on my lap. They've never sat on my lap, I think I've finally broken through and they are relaxed and trusting.... the beautiful graceful Red-crowned crane.... You got lots of snow! Beautiful pics... love the cardinal

Lisa, You got snow! ;D

Jilltosa, wonderful to see your posts I love my beautiful bird birthday card. Thank you. I hope you had a lovely birthday in spite of the situation you've been dealing with. Glad it may be resolved.  ;D .... take care  :-*

{{{Karen and Piper}}} You've got everything covered and ready for your cold temps... keep warm and take care.  :-*

Eagles, thank you for my beautiful birthday card

Tsk, I was smiling at my neighbor taking our photos. We didn't own a camera, so I'm sure it was a fun experience for me.

Good night, I enjoyed reading everyone's post, thank you for making tonight so special.!

Phyl, wow, you are colder than we are! It's 5 here right now! The snowy Alps are stunning with the wind whipping around! I wonder what they will do in Grindavík when the lava stops, which it looks like it may have for now...Three houses/buildings destroyed. Maybe they can move that side of town to the other side... Volcanos are so unpredictable.

Puff, yes, a high of 23 here today! Sunday starts the big warmup! Showing 38 next weekend!

LISA I live on a corner. My house faces the street that does not show up because of the snow. You have to turn at my corner. Frequently the plow driver would back up several times to do just the cul de sac and then leave the area by turning on the street that my house faces. So the unplowed side would remain unplowed for several hours.

Puff - What an ordeal with the pipes!

clynn - Oh my goodness, the snow from 1973.  My brother was born Feb 8, 1973, and it happened to snow in New Orleans that day.  The first time I had ever seen snow in the South, and what fun it was as a kid playing in it.

E4E - Thanks for the kind words on the snow pics.  Glad to read that your SIL made her flight. 

Lani - Sounds like you had a nice birthday.  Yep, just a lil snow, but I see more may come Friday.

Phyl - We are finally seeing sun today.  Yesterday was so gloomy  How are the roads and streets in your area and around Nashville?  Is everything closed down?  We are currently at 20°, but real feel is 8°.

clynn - LOL, done with your one day free trial of Alaska!  That cream cheese frosting sounds good.  I love old recipes and cookbooks.

Puff - At least you know what the status is with your pipes, as you described the problems really well. Good for you in how you are taking care. I know it must be tough without Ton to look into these situations. {{{Puff}}}    Yaaay- double digit (plus side)temp for you today! :)
Clynn - Terrible winter storm back in April of '73 - that picture sure speaks volumes of the devastation.
OG - You were so kind to help with getting vehicles unstuck out of the snow during that time.
Tig - Frustrating for the snowplow dumping in your driveway. Seems like there would have to be a better way!
Karen - Yes we did have a nice visit with SIL when they stayed here again the other evening.  They are safely back in CO!
Lani - So happy that you had a beautiful birthday with Mike, Sadie, Milo & Norman  :-* ;D   Love the story you told Oldguy about "slippas"! ;D
BL - Van Morrison  :)
Phyl - Low temps!  My cousin who lives in TN had told my mom about all the snow they received a few days ago!

I had a 'bone density' scan early this morning, and now I need to head out soon for my orthodontic appt.   Beakers have a safe, warm day. Hugs for All  :)

TSK I don't mind shoveling the fluffy snow; I limit my time and go out several times. I told my PCP that it is exercise. Our three snows last week were not fluffy ones! The last one I could not handle so I called the landscape people to do it. I did have some neighbors who did my front walk: they were a nearly 10-year-old girl, her nearly 7-year-old brother, and their nearly 10-year-old friend, a boy. I asked them if it was too heavy but they wanted to do it!!! A couple of days earlier, when I was shoveling a bit at the end of my driveway a young man from across the street, at the end of the cul de sac did walk all the way and said he saw me shoveling and wanted to help. (The man directly across the street was shoveling in the street.) As far as my neighbors across my driveway side of the street: they and I have different views about how the plowing should be done -- one even told me, rather vehemently, that snow should be plowed to my side "because I do not have a car." (That was the person who had been shoveling in the street.) I feel that the taxes I pay entitle me to the same city services my neighbors get. For decades it has not happened; after the alder became involved (and even told me plowing was not acceptable) about 3 years ago, it has become even more blatant! Saturday, after the snow stopped, the city did curb-t0-curb plowing first and many hours later they did a complete "rearrangement" of one hugh pile in the yard where 102nd "does not go through" (I did not take any photos either time because I did not think that would be a smart move). I could tell it was being done by someone "very senior." He re-piled much of the snow in my yard, at the corner, and pushed more into my yard along the side but at the driveway, he made sure no plowed snow would have to be shoveled! He pulled that snow into the street and then plowed it up in the yard at the corner of the driveway/curb. (When it is warmer I will have to go out with my camera!) The neighbors across the street may have been verbally told to expect a different plowing pattern in the future. We will see!!!

KAREN   Busy day for you today. Good luck with interview.  Where is your source for these girls?

LANI   Awww   first time breeders, successful.  Now the hard part.   ;)

CLYNN  Meant to comment earlier about that cute ellie and ostrich.  Also the recipes - bet from a church cookbook.  I have mine from my church from the 70's!!

EAGLES   Good luck on the bone density!

JILLTOSA  I'm happy to see there are neighbors who will help  :-*

PUFF   I think it has been colder and for longer periods in some winters that I remember.

Post by: Puff on January 17, 2024, 01:37:17 PM

tsk Oh yeah - I remember one about 2 weeks long.  But what I recall also/too is the worst snow.  Not so much wind and freezing cold, but lots of snow.  That pic posted reminded me of Lake Shore Drive in 1967.  Short version, 23" inches in 15 hours, Jan 26 - Jan 27.  That's when I lived in the Chgo.  Closed down almost 2 weeks.  Residents, as I recall because their priority was LSD and almost 10 days to open major roads.  Mostly the people did side roads and sidewalks.

Then there's my side story. . .

Dec 26? 27? I flew up to secret marriage with Mike who was stationed up there in AFB, since abandoned and I forget the name.  Big plan was to marry and I'd get $$$ as spouse to help pay for our wedding planned for 1968.  Two Harbors 1/29/66 married, 12/31/66 accident by Canadian border, me broken ribs and splattered with lots of black & blue, VW totaled by a pack of wild dogs.  We got clearance in Jan to leave, for Mike to fly back with me and take care of issues here.  Two week special leave.  He, my brothers, and dad took care of the snow duty.

He notified my parents of what happened, but when Mom couldn't find me to talk to me she panicked because she couldn't/didn't talk to me because she thought I was dead.  So Mike called her and gave mom/dad all the facts even about our marriage.

While I was healing, the record snow started.  Entire metro area stopped!!!!

They cancelled/recalled Mike from his leave.  In '75 he took leave from me.    :-\

Biggest snow resulted in big story.  Sorry

Good Evening Beakers

A photo from this week in Iowa

Radar is showing some light snow in the area - not sure it is getting to the ground though.  It got up to 20 today with some sun.  Tomorrow is back to cloudy and chance of 1-3 inches of snow with high of 15.  The roads lost most of the ice cover around town.

Back to work in the morning - we got about 90 snow shovels in on Tue. morning - most of the were gone by 3pm when I left.  More snow blowers were expected to arrive today.  We did get restocked on ice melt - so good stock for tomorrow's snow.

My Bro came by today and we watched a recording of a choral performance based on the Christmas truce in 1914. He agreed to take a large box of Mom's Christmas decorations of my hands too.

E4E, we are supposed to get 1-3" more snow this afternoon but I will not miss my appointment at 10:00 this time! I just can't believe that it snows every time I have the appointment at the eye doctor! Tuesday, blizzard. rescheduled to Friday, Friday, blizzard, rescheduled to today, and just a bit of snow today! And the clinic is 1.3 miles from our house!  Hope your tests come back with nothing out of order!

Lani, sweet picture of the tiny baby albatross almost out of the shell... Those rangers take such good care of those Albies. Bless them. I also worried about the baby thrown in the snow, but I am guessing it was a doll. No sane person would ever do that, Child Services would be on them like you know what. Love the cat watching the snow good night pic.

oldguy, beautiful picture of the snow laden tree. We had several pine branches break with the first blizzard, finally got someone to come and get them off the fence for now. Our insurance company cancelled us for the hail claims on the house and cars, don't need to have to file a claim on the fence so early with the new company! Good video of Claire and all the cats!

tsk, I have read that the '67 blizzard was the worst in Chicago history!  I looked up Des Moines' worst, it was Jan 1, 1942 with 19.8" of snow. Here is an interesting article of the worst blizzards in American History:  https://www.treehugger.com/worst-blizzards-in-american-history-1140776

Puff, harrowing story of your adventure. glad it worked out,  Well, you both survived!

In Iowa we are playing a new game called..... where did the road go?     The Crowley Lake Stone Columns, California created by Eons old volcanic activity.

Another cold Minnesota day in the works..

tig - Did you happen to read "Boys in the Boat" before you saw the movie?
I did maybe 10 years ago and then saw the movie.
For me, the book was so much better...a great read if you haven't.

Reminded me too of I think tsk's recommendation of reading The Children's Blizzard.
Fabulous read as well...Dakota, and MN deaths due to the blizzard of 1888. Informative as well about weather predicting errors of the time.

OLDGUY  What a beautiful shot  :o  Sun was perfect.  Claire has quite an imagination  :)

TIG  A good day all around.  We really enjoyed Boys in the Boat.  ( of course book always better  LOL)

LANI   I'm hoping snow baby was a fake as well. >:(

CLYNN  Good luck today!!!    I see you're coming up with a knitted cup cozy too  :)  Snowman  - photo shopped??   How is it that your insurance company cancelled you for the roof damage??  :o   Cool listing of blizzards.  Read a book on the Children's blizzard.  Technology and snow removal is so much more improved - not that it will stop snow but warnings and death prevention are more likely.    Have never heard of the Crowley Lake Stone Columns  How unusual.

I take it some were not amused by the baby being tossed into the snow.

I don't know.    :-\
When we were little kids and my Cousins lived in Buffalo, NY my parents and us 3 boys drove up there for the long Thankgiving "weekend" and a huge lake affect blizzard hit my Aunt & Uncles area the day after we arrived.

It was like 40+ inches of powder snow with drifts on the upwind side of of the house above the 1st floor of the 2 story house.

Most of the kids (some very young) were jumping out of the 2nd story windows into the snow below by day 3 of the storm.
The parents were down below to assist if anyone needed assistance getting out of the snow .. none of the kids did.

My Mother who was deathly afraid of heights even jumped out of the window to the great delight of the throng of spectators (all now stranded in Buffalo and probably a little juiced up) down below.

No one got hurt except maybe some cold fingers and toes. It was an absolute blast and I still remember to this day like it was yesterday my Mom taking the snow plunge.    8)

After about day 6 or 7 my poor Aunt & Uncle were able to stop "entertaining" the masses as the roads had finally been cleared enough to return to their respective homes. As they waved goodbye to all I'm sure it was with great love but yet great relief. Besides I thing Uncle Jack's booze supply had been decimated by that point.   ;D ;)

After about day 6 or 7 my poor Aunt & Uncle were able to stop "entertaining" the masses as the roads had finally been cleared enough to return to their respective homes. As they waved goodbye to all I'm sure it was with great love but yet great relief. Besides I thing Uncle Jack's booze supply had been decimated by that point.   ;D ;)

Yes, BL. I don't think that video was meant to be taken seriously, either. There are so many "When children are given to the Dad" videos that are very funny...this may have been one of them.

Furthermore, I do believe that Dads are needed for children. Who could disagree with that but I mean sometimes women can be overly cautious and Dad's in life sometimes provide the other side. This is what those funny videos imho are meant to show.

I also don't think that baby, real or not? was injured...just funny.

If it was a real kid .. and I don't know ..

1) I'm sure he was plucked out of that powder immediately and his Rosie little cheeks dried and warmed right away and brought right back inside.
Dad's in a short sleeve shirt after all.
2) In that huge puffy Panda one piece snow suit he was probably hot and well cushioned.
3) I don't see how the kid could get hurt essentially falling into air.

I watched other videos from that guy and his little boy and Dad looks like a very loving and doting Father.   :-*
I don't think he would risk hurting his child for anything. His Mom was probably the one taking the video.

Dad's are just big kids and kids are .. well kids and they need to be kids when they are kids.
Call the police, lawyers, CPS and doctors .. yeah I don't think so.   ::)   

Was it the smartest thing in the world to do probably not.
Would I do that with my kid heck no.  :)
But then again I've been buried in an avalanche and know 1st hand the feeling of confinement in the concrete of an avalanche .. this was air powder however.   

When kids are old enough to do so and want to do so .. jump out of second story windows into air .. and the conditions below are deemed by the adults below supervising to be safe to do so .. I say go for it MOM.   ;D 8)

I'll let it go now .. as they say - Men are from Mars & Women are from Venus.  ;)

Good Morning Beakers

oldguy - Beautiful snow pic from Iowa.  Be careful heading to work today.  Thanks for the videos.

tig - Glad you got to spend time with your brother, and that he took some of your Mom's ornaments.  Cool on the BE sighting!

Lani - Love your good night pic. 

E4E - I would not mind the snow tomorrow, if we were staying home, but Jeff's dad is having a lil surgery tomorrow and we are going to be with him. 

clynn - Love your coffee cup this morning.   :D  I hope you appointment is not rescheduled again today, since you are getting snow.  Very cool snowman.  Yikes on where is the road! The Crowley Lake Stone Columns are very cool, too. Oh no, the insurance company cancelling you?!

Phyl - I hope you all can get back to normal from all the snow and ice. Thanks for the 365, and the link to the RRP calendar.  I need to get me a Decorah one.  :D Cute collection. 

BL - Thank you so much!  Is my return trip on the 28th looking ok, too?

kb, tsk, and all - Morning  :)

Lisa, it won't snow until around 1:00, and they are only saying 1-3" so unless something happens to the doctor it's a go today!

Phyl, rugged life in the 365 today ... Thanks for Amy's blog! Your Norcrest collection is valuable! I looked it up on eBay, the teapot sold for $120, egg cup $50, wall pocket planter $300, salt & pepper $70, and that is just in the last60-90 days.

Comment ala BL quote:

"Was it the smartest thing in the world to do probably not.
Would I do that with my kid heck no.  :)
But then again I've been buried in an avalanche and know 1st hand the feeling of confinement in the concrete of an avalanche .. this was air powder however."

I remember two things from my "episode" with older brothers (older and should have known better) showed up at home and Mom asked where their sister was.  Finally broke thru their smiles and confessed "We buried her in the snow at Vickers park." 

Mom:  Let's go right now!  How could you do that! 

When I was dug up they now were no longer thinking it was funny.  From that day forward when they had to "take care of your sister" they were watched/quizzed more. 

***An aside - I don't think Mom/Dad ever knew about the times they had to take me to the shows with them.  They'd duck down in the dark seating and run away and leave me for usher to find and comfort me.  And of course you must realize that they loved and picked all the scary movies.

When I was about 35 was when I tore up my ankle badly, had my first cast for 8 weeks.  Kept passing out until they cut the front open so I could slide out.  (Of course I no longer had a walking cast; had my first experience with The Stick.)
 Ton took me to ER and luckily doctor knew the solution and cause.  I had
 claustrophobia, from my stay under the snow is what probably stayed with me.  AND as I've aged it has gotten worse and worse.  Just to illustrate, even in the weather (and always) I avoid boots and even socks - feel trapped and buried alive.  There's even a CSI episode where Epps got buried in a coffin!  OMG  :'(

I've long since made the decision of cremation when I die.  If I ended up buried in the ground I'd die a second death and haunt the people who did it to me.

I here you on the claustrophobia Puff, it a debilitating condition and I too have it somewhat. 

When I was little maybe 4 or 5 my older brothers rolled me up in a large living room throw rug and left me there until my Mom heard me wailing and unrolled me. I think that's what gave the phobia to me.   ::)

Needles to say the 2 older bros were not happy campers when Dad got home from work and rolled them both up in the carpet for longer than I was in there .. paybacks a bi...

There is an old saying, don’t throw the baby out with the dish water!  I spent several years in the Abuse and neglect  court in .chicago and posting of this type of video can be seen by folks who do not have good sense and these acts are repeated with poor  outcomes.  Not funny!   Jmho.

Clynn,  good visit today with a lot of  good information!   I have been to a retinologist and found the process very interesting!   Prayers

Remember a Chicago Mayor being  voted out of officedie to poor handling of snow removal!   Was in VN for the big snow of 66 but my Dad saved the newspapers for me!   What an event!

Today was Tim's 7th day of a very bad cold and the second day of a fever not significantly helped by Tylenol.  So off he went early to the Urgent care clinic in town - He has strep.  Will pick up amoxicillin at noon...sigh.  Here's praying.

I see some brutal cold forecast Wind Chill Temps in Iowa particularly on Saturday morning.
-27° F @ Des Moines and -31° near OG.   ::)   

I'd let the neighborhood squirrel eat my Sat morning news paper with the 'Banner Headline' to tell me it's fn cold outside before I got dressed to retrieve it from the neighbors bush.   ;) 

Do be extra careful there.
That's no joke danger Temps and I ain't never ever been outside enough to tell you all. 

This post's 4 images are Wind Chill Temps for the next 4 days at 7am EST.

The tree's going to be OK' | Maui arborist provides update on Lahaina's famous Banyan tree

Between 15% to 20% of Lahaina's famous Banyan tree has died and will need to be removed, but the tree as a whole is going to survive. Maui arborist Duane Sparkman spoke with Island News to provide an update on the efforts to bring back the old town's symbolic tree.

Lani, I am so glad to hear that the old Banyon Tree in Lahaina will survive!  I am sure it will be a sign of hope for those who lost everything...

I finally was able to see one of the retina specialists at Wolfe Clinic. As I thought, there is nothing that can be done for my eye. The doctor said it was a stroke, a blood clot that went to my retinal artery. My right eye will eventually adjust to doing all the seeing. Right now I can see some with my left eye but it's not clear at all. and it's hard to focus because it's interfering with my right eye. He said that will go away in time and I will be able to see fine with one eye. The main thing now is to try to prevent anything from happening to my right eye. I had the echo cardiogram this afternoon. Hopefully they can determine what caused the stroke and we can keep it from happening again. It is what it is, I will get used to it eventually! You just never know when anything can happen!

It is snowing here again. I won't make any more appointments, so it will stop snowing.  ;D ;D

karen, so happy to hear that you found a good housekeeper so quickly, and you know she is good or Dr Hall wouldn't keep her!  You are doing very well at home!

tsk, oh no, poor Tim!  Did he catch that cold in DC?

BL, love the rug story, your Dad was wise.  ;D

Lisa, we all told Mom we wouldn't come visit her if she had no internet! LOLOL! Of course, we were kidding. Dad was the one who was on the computer, so they did have the internet already. It's the rural kind, not great but at least its something...  :D :D

Puff, oh my, your stories!  I cannot imagine being buried in snow...so scary!

Oh my {{{CLynn}}} I'm sadden over  your news. You have a fantastic attitude. I was thinking the same as Tsk about the e ye patch.  Praying that the echo will reveal the cause of the stroke and therefore some preventive meds.    Begs another question---how about driving your car? What did your doc say about that I wonder.
Great tour of  our National Parks--lots and lots to learn. ;)    Awesome photos of Iowa roads.  :o


Lani great news on Lahnina's old banyan tree, tks for the news video on it;  sweet Royal hatchling yesterday.

TSK Y uck! Strep/a cold. I hope Tim gets better soon. The
Norcrest   collection has been sold and if this snow ever melts it'll get shipped---I may have to give a partial refund of purchase price
if this takes much longer. I acquired it when Mom/Dad moved to Mo and someone else' s boxes were mixed  with theirs---it wasn't labeled so my Ps didn't return it. They think the movers had 'set it aside' for themselves and so it goes.  ;D   Cute sheep dog this AM

KB  ah poor street kitty, it's tilting it's head, might have a 'cold' in it or much worse. :-* :-*

BL great news for Lisa next week ! I missed the 'baby snow toss ' video---likely I wouldn't have been much amused
either. Sometimes it's difficult to tell what is really going on---

Eagles  cute boy/girl snow people


Lisa  it's still snowy with ice  and the streets and roads aren't  clear on iota!  Maggie's out of her special  Hill's Science Diet kidney formula. Jim will have to ddrive to  Smyrna and get a box from PetCo---as i't s not sold in our neighborhood; vet doesn't carry it anymore either.

Clynn - Hope all went well at your eye appt today.  I hope the snow wasn't too much for you to drive to your appt.  Clynn, I think that was an actual baby tossed into the snow. :o
Just read what you said about your eye - so sorry your eye isn't what it was, but hopefully you will be able to do all your normal everyday stuff!
Phyl - Thank you for all links - I really do appreciate it!  Hope Jim is feeling better - at least a little bit. :)
Bummer that it is getting harder to get Maggie's food bought!
BL - You are so good with your weather updates - great that you are giving LisaG a little peak at what the weather will be. :)
Tsk - You are so right about the book is always better! Although I know you are responding to Tig,  I found that out years ago when I read the book of 'The Shining', THEN I went to the theatre and watched the movie. :-\  Book is better.

{{{Clynn}}} I'm sorry to a stroke caused your eye condition. You have a super attitude! Bless you...praying for good results from the echo cardiogram too.
 I missed the giant snowman this morning, and it doesn't look photoshopped...

Tsk, I'm sorry Tim's sick. sending him prayers. Get well soon Tim!

Karen, glad to hear you have a housekeeper to help. You're doing great!  :)

{{{Puff}}} I'm thinking about you being buried in snow. sending you warm hugs.

Tig, sending prayers of healing and comfort for your friend with covid.... you and Camper take care.

BL, I didn't know you're a licensed arborist. It all makes perfect sense now  8) ... I know I'm tempting fate. But, we need more moisture. The junipers need a good soaking here. I have two small juniper trees we will probably lose if we don't get more rain.

Lisa, sending prayers for your FIL.

Phyl, One of our walking buddies, uses Chewy prescription, it's cheaper on autoship... sending prayers for you, Jim and Miss Maggie.

SED Eagles, Kb.  ;D

Good night!

Phyl, wicked storm in the Alps, I had to look up a Capercaillie! So many things we learn in the Beak Room! A blue Ford!  It's -3 here, high today 7. Sunday starts the warmup! Right now showing a high of 40 on Feb 1 and 2!  I'll believe it when I feel it!  I had an overnight case kind of like that one in the first pic, it was a Samsonite. It went with my Sunbeam hair dryer!

Sweet picture of Aryana! And the beautiful eagle on the Flyway! BTW, I have been getting Harley's prescription food from Chewy for several years, it's on autoship! I have driven several times since we got home from Christmas, I just have to be a little bit more careful because I can't see as much to my left. My nose is in the way....  ;D

Lani, I hope you get some rain for your Juniper trees...can you water them? My pines are still holding snow and Ed's friend came over with his chain saw and got the broken branches off of the fence, He took a pickup load away, still has another load to get.  It looks like we got a few more inches of snow yesterday. It was supposed to be 1-3". Turned out to be 4". The news said that pushed our 10-day total to over 24". Wish I could send some your way...

E4E, The Shining! I remember reading the book as I was walking through the mall in Springfield IL! I was mesmerized and that is where my love of Stephen King's books started. I have every book he has written, in hard cover.  And yes, I also think the book is always better than the movie!  Ed drove me to both of my appointments yesterday, it was snowing in the afternoon and until my eyesite levels out I will let him do any snow driving! Both appointments were very close, just a little over a mile away. We are lucky, we are close to a huge medical area, including 2 hospitals!

tsk, the doctor said I could wear an eye patch if it felt better, but it was not necessary. I may try something when driving, when I cover my left eye things are perfectly clear, I just miss that left side peripheral vision... They do have an eye patch that fits over glasses, I may try that.

karen, it is what it is, I am just trying to make the best of it as there is nothing I can do but adapt!  Complaining or whining would just make me feel worse...  ;D ;D

Lisa, I can telll you are really looking forward to your trip!

Thank you all so much for your concern over my eye issues, it's priceless to have friends like you Beakers!

Good mornin' Phyl I can usually find you sharing the beak with me.  Nice way to start our day, isn't it?

Got far behind yesterday - hoping to find a left over day's hours.  Guess not!

Lani clynn Crowley Lake Stone Columns! Those Columns of formation are fascinating.  Something new I added to my bucket for when I'm in the territory.  This year I added Iowa's rollercoaster roads.  Hope to see/drive one of them  when I'm out there for ATF.  Something new, sight for this year.

BL  Had to be a fun memory of seeing your mom take the leap. ::)  ;D
My Mom memory would have to be the time she walked around a couple weeks with a black eye because she decided to join my brothers' baseball game.  Caught the ball without the mitt, wham into her eye.

Ahhh, beautiful downtown Bozeman.  That's the jumping off point for snowmobiling in Yellowstone.  I knew about it being a college town (without a McDonald's at the time, a rarity).  Not many places to "make" trouble.  Almost had to behave.

Phyl My fault - left the impression my brothers were bad, mean to me.  Somewhere they took up the challenge/duty of taking care of their little sister.  Lost oldest Rodney in 2006, 65 yrs.  Also, Edward passed 2020, 71yrs.  Younger sister, Rita, 64 yrs, in 2004.  Not a good longevity record.  The Big Guy upstairs says he's not ready for me yet????  Can you tell my Mom had a unique set of names she picked from.

New way of thinking hit me a couple days ago.  Since my birthday is the 8th -- I'm not 80.  That was the celebration 2 weeks ago.  Now technically, I'm over 80.  :-*

BL I also loved your map of the parks.  Think it's 3 I've missed there.  But you completely didn't cover one of my fav roads   89/89A  Starts at Glacier N.P. then down thru Prescott/Sedona to Mexico.  I should take the time to count the Park areas in total.  Got most of the well-known, but I bet Lani would have her favs.  I'm guessing maybe a dozen N.P. total there?

clynn Lots of concern and prayers from all of us here.  And love!!  I'll be back later.

11 degrees   high 13    brrr  We got snow last night and still lightly snowing - maybe less than 2".

BL   You are a licensed arborist. :)   My Dad loved to learn about trees.  They owned 40 acres and built on house on it for retirement. ( Still maintained their home)   Thanks to that we all now know black walnut trees.  LOL   He/we used to collect them - he would take them in his workshop - don his gloves and use his vice to open them and carve out the meat so Mom could use them for her black walnut cookies  LOL  What a labor of love. ;)     Are the llamas a business for you?     Agree, KAREN has a great sense of humor... ;D

PHYL   Interesting how you acquired the Norcrest collection.   Old luggage - certainly does remind me of what we used to schlepp around with.  ;) ;)   Interesting brain article...makes sense.

KAREN   How many days for the housekeeper?

LISA   Tim's feels much better this AM.  Finally got some sleep.

EAGLES   "In these parts"  LOL, we have a system arrangement with hospitals called MYCHART.   I just about get all the blood work , scan results  etc before the doctor does.   :o   If necessary, he will call.  I can also communicate via an e-mail about questions and he ( nurse) will get back to me the same way. - Saves the phone call.

LANI   Funny good night pic.

CLYNN  Good opening pics this AM   What you call and overnight case, we used to call a "train" case.. ???  Mom used her hairdryer like that til she died .  It was kept on the top shelf of the front closet of their colonial home and set on the dining room table where she sat under it.    I so admire you for the humorous approach you are taking to your eye problem.  You set a good example for us all  :-* :-*    Let us know how that eye patch works if you do try it for driving.
Beautiful setting for St Colman's cathedral.

PUFF   You are a wonderful lunch companion as you have so many stories to tell.  ;D

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY, ALY

Actually (here I go again) As we get older I believe our memories help us relive more of the events that made us what we are.  Good or bad this is what we are and where we are.  I'm having a great time reminiscing.

I just wonder when I'll go.  And, I end up where?  I'm not done ya know.  ::)

BL - Where did this snow come from that I am getting this morning?!?! 

E4E - Roads are terrible here this morning. We are getting quite of bit of snow.

clynn - Yep, a lil excited for the trip, even if it is to stay in a hospital with Mama.  Beautiful pic from Cork, Ireland.  I too was wondering how you drive with the eye, but it sounds like you are doing great!

Puff - Morning  :)

tsk - Glad to hear that Tim is finally feeling better.   :D

Lani and all - Thank you all for the good luck and wishes for my FIL this morning on his surgery, but it has been cancelled because of the snowstorm we are getting today.  He will need to call next week and reschedule.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Aly!!!

tsk, something funny, I originally had 'train' case in my post but thought maybe no one would know that term!  So I changed it to 'overnight' !  LOLOL!

Lisa, oh no, surprise snow! It can really mess up plans, that's for sure! It cancelled my eye appointment twice and started snowing for the third! That looks like quite a bit of snow! I just stepped out the front door and snapped these. The sun is shining, our house faces west so it is in the shade until the sun gets overhead, the back yard is full sun!

Puff, I agree about the memories! When my high school friends and I get together we remember a lot of the old days and laugh a lot! Same when I am visiting my Mom or my Aunts, the old times always come up. The memories are good...

tsk, I ordered some eye cover things that fit over glasses. found them at Amazon. I think they will do the trick for now!  There is a big house on Ashworth Road here, they must have 50 or more black walnut trees on the property. An elderly man lived there and he always put a sign out in the fall 'Free Black Walnuts'. They were everywhere, the trees in front covered most of the street. He had to go to a nursing home about 3 years ago, someone bought the house, totally remodeled and I see it is for sale now for $2,450,000. No more free signs either. Pictures from the listing:  https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5135-Ashworth-Rd-West-Des-Moines-IA-50266/859608_zpid/?

Lani - wish Aly a Happy Birthday, and hope she can have as much fun as the bear above.
LOL, I just started the autoship feature on chewy after ordering from them forever and I was surprised it saved me 18 dollars a bag....

Clynn - so sorry to hear that.

will be 10 days of these horrid temps come Monday when we finally get what's called a January Thaw.
Used to several of these polar plunges lasting a few days each every winter.
But this one has just been too consistently long.

Poor Ollie man. We play catch down the stairs. He just bops it back to me at the bottom from the top, so I do all the work :) But mentally stimulating at least. We do play other ball games....sorry that's all we got.
Sweeping 3 doorways just let him out often as well it very cold temps. Flurries is all but greasy.
Owning a cat instead of a dog in these temps obviously easier.

And a howdy back to you Lisa.  Stay warm - Enjoy!
Morning too to you tsk Tim

tsk  clynn I called mine a carryon; and suitcase too, both white.  However, last 40 years at least - It is now nada, nothing do I carry on but me and purse. Unless it's more than 3 hours, then I might carry reading material.

Bummer! Lisa. . .Hope your next appt goes smoother.  Waiting is not good.

OK - Story time!

Went to Hawaii Island for conference/meeting.  Connected through San Francisco.
Leaving plane in SFO, patiently waiting my turn out, the anxious yo-yo in front of my row of seats pulled down his overhead case and clipped me in the cheek.  Didn't think it hit that hard, but a small spot of blood on my lip.  On connection, longer leg, food offered.  First bite into sandwich and piece of my tooth fell out.  Idiot!!! Not the sandwich - the yoyo.  Not a virgin tooth; it had already had a root canal.  No pain, bleeding stopped before we landed in Kona.   Got to KOA room about 11 p.m. First thing always is call the travel insurance people.  Knew I was dealing with a newbie because it was now about 3 a.m. on mainland time.  Nothing to be done until back to home. 

My dentist has tried for maybe 10 years working to save that tooth.  Now it has been coming apart by the piece.  Had an appointment for extraction in July.  But, darn it, because of my ER trip and stay at Good Sam, and mostly because of medications, that had to be cancelled for 6 months.  It also has been delaying work on my hip.  Had dental appt scheduled for end of December, but I got that bad/nasty/ugly 3-week cough.  At least the extraction is now rescheduled; January 29.   Hallelujah - and soon to be Amen

clynn  $2.5 million = must be very expensive walnuts.   ;D

Thank you Tsk, Clynn, Kb and All for Aly's birthday wishes!  :-*

Hi Eagles, karen, BL, Baz, Tig!

Kb, love the bear!  ;D ... you and Ollie take care.

Lisa, where did your snow come from? Sorry about your FIL having to change appts.  :(

Tsk, glad Tim feels better....

Puff, you truly can't beat  your fav 89/89A. We've driven I-70 from one end to the other. I know that interstate by heart.... No matter where we've driven checking out Mike's road jobs, he's always stopped at the historical markers for me... I'm a Louis and Clark fan, and I would love to follow their expedition route. I enjoy your reminiscing thanks for taking us along on this memory trip. I went through what little photos I have of my childhood this week. Our family didn't own a camera at least I don't remember having one available. But, I remember my stepdad borrowing a polaroid or buying disposable cameras for special days, like birthdays, and such. Take a pic and print it.

Clynn, love your morning pics... the best pic is your welcome mat! Even though there's 3' of snow, your welcome mat is inviting to all! Brrrr it looks cold at your home. I need more coffee!  ;D.... your posts about your eye and how to deal with it, will be so helpful for others that may not have the ability to share their own concerns...  Mike sends best wishes too... when Mike's granddad died, we found 2 large wooden crates filled with old black walnuts in his basement. LOL!  ;D ... great looking home over 2mil! Homes in our golfing community are now going for sale between 1.5 mil and up! That's shocking to me. When we bought our home here in 2013 a 4000sq home right around the corner from our street was going for 900,000+ and sat on the market two years at that price, now it's going 2.5mil..... Geez, we thought the $900 was too much! It does have a 360 view at higher elevation and all the bells & whistles. But still too much....

Phyl Beautiful Flyaway cam and Aryana pics.... big storm on nature video.... thanks for science article. I need to read that when my brain is awake.

clynn - You have quite alot of snow.  Beautiful house on Ashworth Road. 

kb - It is definitely easier having a cat when it is snowing, especially if it is an inside cat.  I remember the days, when we use to have to go shovel out a path in the backyard for the pups to go potty.

tig - I bet that balmy 86 felt good.

Puff -  Good luck on your extraction on the 29th!

Lani - I do not know where all this snow came from, cause BL surely didn't tell me it was coming, or did he?  It started snowing around 5am, and it is still coming down.

Okay, BL

Mr. Arborist man!...glad to know. in 2019 I asked the city to plant some trees across the street from me.
Reason: A 2002? or so storm took out so many trees and they didn't replace them thereby creating a very hot street.
They did so in 2019 in May...right around my birthday I remember....7 or more young trees planted. Locusts, cherry, and more.

Today I just watched the city pull up and trim many lower branches of these "young trees" that are doing just okay since our multiple year droughts of the last 3 or so years..but they are still alive.
For me, it creates also a buffer from viewing apartments that used to have trees and I was so happy that they were planted.

I doubt they are arborists, but rather "forestry" city employees that are told what to do.

For me, I read as much as I could and the advice was all over the place. They didn't remove dead branches but just healthy lower ones, thereby creating less privacy and I do wonder about the health of doing so much. Wasn't more than 1/3 of the tree but close.
The apartments nor city didn't put water bags around them when first planted, nor watered them but some how they all made it.

although I know winter is best for pruning most and cutting down trees, I am concerned for these young trees.
What say you?
Of course I know I didn't provide probably the info you need. But, in general I see it's a good time to do it, but the amount of cutting by NON Arborists concerns me.

These trees were only planted because of me. I consider them "mine"...LOL

CLYNN   We only had 2 additional inches this AM so easier to snow blow.  You have some good size piles in your pics.  That is one very modern home.  Imagine that pool when you can't even use it all year long.  I could never figure that out in the Midwest.  Best not Swiffer your floors in that house in your "birthday suit" despite the trees all around  LOL Yes the black walnuts are an acquired taste.  Worth a lot of money tho...Their roots kill a lot of other plantings if too close.

KB  Guess we could change it up and have the attitude of that big bear if we ever see ourselves down on the ice - like pretend that is what we were going to do anyway  LOLOL    Cool rescue with Ruby

PUFF   You need to write a book..... 8)

LANI/PUFF  Don't laugh.  I had thought the same thing - It could be $$$$ walnuts.  Wonder what would happen if they had those cut down ( a shameful task) and sold the lumber.

Unfortunately Nada Tsk.

Tsk you really can't sell the lumber from a Black Walnut tree because the saw dust is toxic to animals and humans.
You can use a home wood mill, but you still have to be very careful around that saw dust. 

Lumber mills won't touch it because they usually sell all the saw dust to various places for various uses.
Again it is also toxic to the mill workers so they just don't want to deal with it at all.

We took down one of the last dead Black Walnut trees in our area in the mid 90's.
https://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/terrestrial/pathogens-and-diseases/thousand-cankers-black-walnut-disease

Even using chainsaws out in the open air we wore face masks and goggles while cutting it up.

My friends father had a home wood mill and he took two 8' lengths of the main trunk to mill into planks.
He made some kitchen cabinet doors for his wife after the wood had cured/seasoned for a couple of years.

They were absolutely stunning BTW.  :o

Unfortunately he forgot my warning about working with the B.W. wood and got sick as a dog after sanding it without a mask on after like 3 years of it being felled.   ::)

His son, our friend took the bottom round -or- flush cut of the tree (about 2 feet high x 3 feet round) and made a salad bowl on a wood lathe from a 'hunk' of it for my Mom.

With the warning don't ever put real salad in it or ...   ;)   :(

I still have it. I'll post a pick of it later if I can dig it out. :)

Hmm, I have black walnut baseboard in my entire basement. A patient of mine got it from an old bank in downtown Minneapolis..gave it to me and we used it...I love it. Dennis up the street from me, now 87 using a nail gun tapped it in over our then new carpet.

But, it's very old and I relish the fact it came from a 100 year old plus bank.

There's no danger from the 100 year old "cured" wood planks what so ever.

But if you ever strip it, sand it or cut it I would still put a mask on.   8)

As long as you Chris and Ollie Man don't tend to get down really low and lick the baseboards you should be ok.   :)

kb what your towns tree guys did sounds totally appropriate and safe.

As long as they survived the drought conditions of the past few years the trees will be better for it come Spring.

They're 5 years old now so they are "estabished".
To prune off the lower "hanger" branches is beneficial for the main canopy of the tree in the long run.    8)  :)

Noted...would never do, but still noted. Thanks.

Thanks on the info of my across the street tree pruning.
My concern comes from this context: They are not arborists. The trees were planted originally by sub-contractors, Bachman's nursery in fact. In the past my city so called tree guys have made errors.
It seemed like an awful lot of removing, but I will cross my fingers and hope for the best.
I couldn't reach my hose to water them myself. If it reached, I would have.

kb the fact that those 'new' trees across the street survived the drought without any assisted watering is a good sign.

"lollipopping" the younger tree's in the winter will give the trees there correct canopy shape when they get older.

On the lower branches of a hardwood tree the general rule of thumb when pruning is any branches that go straight out or are hanging down get pruned off. 

The water and sugars that come up the main trunk go to the main canopy and are not "drawn off" by the hangers, suckers and straights. If that make sense.  :)

makes total sense to me..Scott used to tell people to cut their suckers off their tree and threaten to do it himself. Not our trees. Neighbors.

I probably should cut one straight out branch of my Maple in my front yard...it runs to my roof..not there yet. Scott's boss cut off many lower branches of it early on. After Scott was catastrophically injured at work. One is left...
I just am conflicted between privacy and health of the tree I guess....My maple is now 20 years old so not so young, LOL

I re-looked at that branch I spoke of and in fact it isn't perfectly straight out, but rather it inclines up to the sky but heading towards my house.
I've been trimming off lower hanging branches off it as I mow...
Ultimately, I'll have to make a decision when it gets closer to the house.
My maple, fortunately, is very healthy, knock on wood.
Scott wrapped the trunk for the first several years/winters...and it has been pruned...it's just the one branch I'm hesitant about as it heads towards the roof
I do love her though.

and, Privacy is very important to me...for obvious reasons and when I bought my house many trees obscured the apt. complexes across from me.
My row of arbors were younger, fuller, and not yet eaten by rabbits, nor injured by ice.
Eventually, I will have to decide about them.
I'm hoping to die in this house so hopefully all of it will survive till much later!

The totally dead Black Walnut Tree that we cut down in Montvale, NJ in 1993 was in the back yard of the family's home for over 70 years they told us. It was about 60 ft high with a classic canopy shape for it's type from what we could tell from the skeleton of it's former self.

http://texastreeid.tamu.edu/content/TreeDetails/?id=52
 
It was near their deck so it had to go as it was coming apart badly and was a safety issue.
They and us were sad to see it go.
But some of it's main trunk wood went to good use as I mentioned in my previous post. 

I found out years later that Pete my friend made from the Bottom Round 3 salad bowls and a handful of custom rifle stocks that he made good money on.

One bowl went to my Mom, one went to his Mom and the other one went to ..
This is what I found out many years later ..

Pete had found out somehow where we had taken the tree down from and gave the last bowl to the Mom of that house and he said she cried because her father had planted the tree before she was born and as kids she and her siblings used to play in a tree fort that he made for them in it.

She said to Pete that she felt like he had just handed her back a piece of her Father. The circle.

Trees are like giant old souls that see everything and only speak their wisdom when the wind helps them express it. 

I hated to take a tree down unless it was absolutely necessary.
I don't do tree work anymore myself because it's a younger man's than I's dangerous occupation.
I'm very happy that I lost no digits nor appendages during the years I did it.
Chainsaws, height, rope and wood chippers don't give you boo boos.  :)

That exact Black Walnut tree still lives on long after peeps thought it was gone.

The holes and black stain on the bowl are the rust stains from the iron nails that held fast that 1st wrung up to that tree fort.

Happy Day Beakers!  :)

I have 36 pages to read to catch up on the news in The Beak!!  Oh my... when will I get to do that?  I hope all are fine.  :-* Fingers crossed for all!  I'm just stopping in to say hello.  I will try to read a few pages of posts tonight. I don't know how much I will get to catch up on though.  I know I have missed birthdays. I wish a happy belated birthday to all I missed!  :)

My "greats" have been having lots of winter fun - learning to ski in Steamboat Springs, CO, and making snow angels in their own front yards, and such. Lots of fun to go around for all.

Zippo and I are well. Zippo is enjoying improved health - better than in a long while. She had a significant health scare a couple of years ago, and it has taken this long to see her overall recovery - as much as she has been able to at her senior age. She is enjoying significantly improved overall health. I'm so glad for her.  :-* :-*

I am still walking, though I didn't walk Wednesday or Thursday this week. I walked 39 minutes today. It was a gorgeous warm day here today. Much colder temps are coming in tonight, and over the weekend, before a major warm-up mid-week this coming week. I follow the weather across the nation, and in many countries, so I am aware of the wild swings and severe weather many are enduring. ((Take care, Beakers!))

I have been busy, NOT at my computer, and that is why I am so far behind everyone's news here. I am sitting down now to try to catch up a bit. But it will take me a while to read all I've missed.  I have to say that it has been a bit liberating not sitting at my computer for hours each day, but I have missed knowing what has been going on with everyone here. I hope you are all okay, and I will be reading, bit by bit, to catch up on all the news here,

Take care, All.  :-*

Good Morning Beakers!


...

karen, it is what it is, I am just trying to make the best of it as there is nothing I can do but adapt!  Complaining or whining would just make me feel worse...  ;D ;D

...

Thank you all so much for your concern over my eye issues, it's priceless to have friends like you Beakers!
             

Clynn, hugs to you!  :-*  Your positive attitude, today, and every day, is awesome!!  :-* :-*  I hope some others who need it will catch it!!

BL   Thank you for educating me on black walnut - I stand corrected and knew I went to the right source for the answer..  I had been misinformed.  Had no idea it was so toxic.  Glad Dad didn't get the inclination to do anything with it other than the nuts.    I never knew that about how branches are trimmed.  Our city is big on tree trimming, I will need to watch next time.  You are a wealth of information.  Thanks.

To eat the nuts, or the flesh of the nuts as it where.

Hence from Dad's vise with gloves on are safe to eat.

I've eaten many B W nuts guts while foraging over the years.

Flat rock base with a rock overhead  thud - splat - instant protein.

Pip & I always have our heads on a swivel when we find them in the Fall however because they are also a favorite of our local Ursus.

Black Bear.
How exactly they consume them is a mystery to me personally as I've tried to see them consume them.
They are not using rocks to smash them open as far as I know like monkeys.

If they are we're moving.   :)

Good mornin' Phyl I can usually find you sharing the beak with me.  Nice way to start our day, isn't it?

Got far behind yesterday - hoping to find a left over day's hours.  Guess not!

Lani clynn Crowley Lake Stone Columns! Those Columns of formation are fascinating.  Something new I added to my bucket for when I'm in the territory.  This year I added Iowa's rollercoaster roads.  Hope to see/drive one of them  when I'm out there for ATF.  Something new, sight for this year.

BL  Had to be a fun memory of seeing your mom take the leap. ::)  ;D
My Mom memory would have to be the time she walked around a couple weeks with a black eye because she decided to join my brothers' baseball game.  Caught the ball without the mitt, wham into her eye.

Ahhh, beautiful downtown Bozeman.  That's the jumping off point for snowmobiling in Yellowstone.  I knew about it being a college town (without a McDonald's at the time, a rarity).  Not many places to "make" trouble.  Almost had to behave.

Phyl My fault - left the impression my brothers were bad, mean to me.  Somewhere they took up the challenge/duty of taking care of their little sister.  Lost oldest Rodney in 2006, 65 yrs.  Also, Edward passed 2020, 71yrs.  Younger sister, Rita, 64 yrs, in 2004.  Not a good longevity record.  The Big Guy upstairs says he's not ready for me yet????  Can you tell my Mom had a unique set of names she picked from.

New way of thinking hit me a couple days ago.  Since my birthday is the 8th -- I'm not 80.  That was the celebration 2 weeks ago.  Now technically, I'm over 80.  :-*

BL I also loved your map of the parks.  Think it's 3 I've missed there.  But you completely didn't cover one of my fav roads   89/89A  Starts at Glacier N.P. then down thru Prescott/Sedona to Mexico.  I should take the time to count the Park areas in total.  Got most of the well-known, but I bet Lani would have her favs.  I'm guessing maybe a dozen N.P. total there?

clynn Lots of concern and prayers from all of us here.  And love!!  I'll be back later.

P

Puff, one of my nephews (the younger son of my Mtns Sis), went to college in Bozeman, originally on a football scholarship. He gave that endeavor up after his soph year. Playing that sport, that is - not college. LOL. There's lots of ways to get in trouble in a college town anywhere, McD's or not. LOL. He graduated with a double major, but primarily a Fine Arts degree, with a few extra special awards and honors to go with, and makes his living as a professional photog, but spends his days mostly on the snow, in the back country, and on outback forays, ice climbing, and wilderness camping, hiking, and skiing in the wild and such - much of it around Glacier, and the surrounding national parks. His wife, too, who is a web designer.  I attached a pic of their dog at one time there, after college days - in 2008 - biting a sign on one of their trail outings. LOL! He was an incredible dog, and hilarious, who always would "bite" every sign on every trail, don't ask me why - he was not an aggressive dog by any measure, but "signs" were something he had to dominate. LOL!! What an incredible trail dog, I'm sure BL's Kopje and he would have similar skills. He would howl like mad at night with any wolves and coyotes around - a regular thing where my nephew and his wife lived at the time, in Kalispell.  :)

I'm back - hubby needed my assistance with something and then I made us some dinner; baked chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy & green salad (no bread).
Kb - Too cold!  I bet your little Ollie man is looking forward to warmer temps!
Tig - Sounds like a good salad dinner!
Puff - Awe, that is too bad about your tooth, but at least it will finally be taken care of.
Lani - I hope your Aly had a beautiful birthday. :)
BL - Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the wood - so much that I never knew about.
Phyl - Yummy chili dinner! :)
Tsk - Yumm!! Wish I could have a bowl of your chicken soup! ;D
Baz - No worries - check in when you can.  Good for you in taking care of stuff that you need to do. So happy you & Zippo are doing well. :-* :)

Beakers have a safe & warm night and sleep well.

BL, Thanks for information about the black walnut. I did not know it was toxic.. Mike's granddad had two black walnut trees on his property. I don't remember if he ever mentioned it. I'll have to ask Mike...  I think it was Monday & Tuesday Oregon lost power. No internet Tuesday. Thank you for birthday wishes for Aly.... gorgeous black walnut bowls... the circle of life.  :)

Phyl, nice comfy dinner and cozy good night pic! Thank you birthday wishes for Aly.

{{{Puff}}} I'm sorry about your three siblings.  :-*

{{{Baz}}} great to see your post and know that all is well with you and {{{Zippo!}}} :-* ... what a hoot about the sign biting dog! LOL!!

SED Eagles Thank you for birthday wishes for Aly.

Thank you everyone for Aly's cards and birthday wishes. She and Dewey had a nice day. She went looking through antique shops for a small dining table with a couple of chairs. She received great news that she would get a bonus for working for Payson Community Bridges which will go towards paying for her masters degree!   ;D

Good night!

Phyl - Cute morning Caturday greeting.  Thanks for the 365.  We got quite the snow fall to yesterday.  Alot more than I expected. 

Lani - A perfect way for Aly to spend her birthday, so glad she had a good one.  And, yay for her bonus for working for Payson Community Bridges.

BL -It is a wee bit nippy out there this morning!

E4E - That is my kind of dinner, yummy!!

baz - So good to hear you and Zippo are doing good.  Will wave at you when I zip by tomorrow on my first stop in Savannah.

karen - You be careful on your short spin in the car.

Lisa, love your good morning Siamese kitty! Are you like me, I leave detailed instructions for Ed to follow when feeding the cats. I even set the food out with stickers on what day it is for...

Phyl, chuckling over the cat butt funny! Oh that pregnant hairless cat! Wow, the bison in the 365, looks so cold! Wonder if they just wander around in the snow, maybe they eventually find a place to huddle...  -9 right now, high today is 5. Tomorrow starts the WARMUP! 24, 35 for 5 days, 34 for 4 days, 37, 37, 38.  Of course there will be changes, but hopefully not too much!

Lani, hooray for Aly, a bonus is always good and I am sure she greatly deserves it.  I imagine she is very compassionate with her patients just by the way she hates to let them go... Did she find a table I wonder? Now we know she is an antique furniture lover!  Love that sleeping puppy!  Sleeping, Sam & Sophie!

BL, the Beak Room is a learning place, I never knew about black walnut trees! Mom has a small locust grove on the back of her lot, they don't seem to be very sturdy trees. Thanks for the Allman Brothers...

E4E, Erin and family came over again to take care of the snow for the five houses here, we had pizza. After all, it is Friday, Kelsey always has pizza on Friday night! Bella spent the whole time with the kittens, she just can't get enough of them. Eventually they started hiding from her!

baz, glad to hear Zippo is going good!! And thanks for the Jimmy Page bit! Crazy about the dog and the signs! I agree, your nephew's dog sounds like he would have been right at home with BL and Kopje!

karen, have you had a hard freeze? I like the new plan you have for yourself. Although I don't quite understand  'having the housekeeper  once a week, every two weeks!' It's nice that you can get the extra help when you need it, that is a comfort!

Puff, I can't imagine my siblings being gone...

tsk, you are sleeping later these days!

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

BL   Thanks for that beautiful story about the black walnut bowls.  :'(   They are beautiful pieces of art.

BAZI  Thanks for stopping in.  Good news from your end of town.  ;D   Great story about your nephew and his love of the outdoors. His dog is a wonder!!!

KAREN    You have made some good decisions as you find greater independence in your home.  A gradual weaning off is good and what a wonderful option you have of calling them if you need a ride.  I also see a retinal specialist - about 5 years now with " epi-retinal constriction" in my left eye. It's like a scar on my retina.   Mimics macular.  It has been stable and if it worsens, surgery is possible.  Life goes on.

LANI   Congrats on Aly's bonus  :D...Hope she didn't lose too much in the frig with the outage.  Fun way to spend her b-day  ;D   I can't even do that cute pup pose when I'm awake  LOL

PHYL   Funny AM Caturday pic  ;D   Cat pics funny  ;D

LISA  Still cold here too but sunny  5 degrees  :o   You'll be glad to "get out of town" tomorrow  ;)   What cutes pics of Sam and Sophie  :)

CLYNN    Yes I have been sleeping later on days when I don't have to be anywhere. LOLOL  It throws me off tho.  :(
I would love that gorgeous cat table.  WOW

Good Morning  and Happy Caturday!
Should have said, house keeper once every two weeks!   We have had several hard freezes  including last night!  Warms up to 40 something during the day!   This cold spell will leave Monday and the  highs return to the seventies Tuesday for 5 days!  Tropical compared to the weather in most of the country!

Bl, when a B.ack Walnut tree is cut down and removed from a property, how is the wood disposed of?    As toxic as it sounds, it  probably cannot be burned  or turned into pulp.

Lisa, no snow or ice here so a little spin in the car will be safe! You  be careful with your snow!   Very pretty looking on FB!   

Tsk, sounds like your eye condition is stable or has been! good!   Saw a puzzle on line that is the front page of the New York Times and thought you might want to try thar!   Think it wouldbe hard without colors!   Tim better?

Clynn, sweet pics of kittens... No, she didn't find a table, she found a couple of fun bowls.... Aly is my antique hunting pal, that's why we love Pine. You can't go through a town in Arizona, New Mexico and not find an old vintage shop. I'm sure there's a lot of mom/pop antique shops everywhere . When I posted in Scottsdale I talked about the Town Dump in Cave Creek that we explored....  ;D ... How's Harley doing?  :-*  ... {{{Erin and Sydney}}} they are so super!!  ... fun Caturday pics.  ;D

Tsk, I hope Tim's feeling better. Aly doesn't keep much in her frig... glad your eye condition is stable.

Lisa, safe travels while running your errands across the bridge.

I'm sure the neighbors are so grateful for them!!  Pizza sounds great.  We might have pizza later - not sure yet what we will be having when watching football later! ;)   Darling pic of Sam & Sophie sleeping.   Lol! The kitties try to hide from Bella. ;D
Hi Tsk  :)
Tig - Hopefully you are staying nice & cozy indoors! :)
Kb - That is such a darling vid of the little boy singing!! :)
Hi Oldguy, BL, Lori  :)

clynn - Wow, the cat table...gorgoeus!  Fluffy on the cake  ;D  Adorable pics of Sam & Sophie!  Yes, I am just like you with the detailed instructions to Jeff on the kitties, but I also say, come over here and see....this is how I do it!  ::)

tsk - Ooo, you are much colder than me.  It was  24° at 6:39am, with a real feel of 11°.  We are now at 25° and the real feel is still the same. I will be definitely looking forward to some warmer temps once I hit the road.

karen - Thanks for the kind words on the FB pics.   

Lani - Thank you.  We drove a lil slower on our errands today, as some roads were good, while others still has snow from where it drifted. 

Lori - Those cookies look delicious.

Puff, tig - Afternoon  :D

KAREN   Don't know if you remember or not but last year I did a 1,000 piece one in blacks and whites  LOL  One of the hardest puzzles I've done.   I don't drive at night anymore unless in town and not far.  It's hard to read signs in unfamiliar places as the words are distorted.  Often have to close the bad eye and use just the good one  ;) ;)  Like CLYNN says, and you as well, you just adapt over time.

LANI   Triplets  ;D  Tim's doing much better.  Thanks.

LORI   Now those of us who didn't get a piece of cake got to have a cookie which I much prefer over cake. ;D ;D

KB   What a precious little boy  ;D

EAGLES   You gave us an assortment of kitties this AM  :)

LISA   In years past with Lucy and if I was away,  the list was a mile long for Tim.  He made his own checklist easier to follow  LOL   19 degrees here now but wind is not too bad and sun is shining.    Don't forget to wave to KAREN when you get close to her  LOL

Yes Lisa, wave at the intersection of I75 and 10!   I will throw you some beads! Lolol!  Actually since 75 veers west
Wave about 10 miles past the sign!
Do be careful on your drive and remember leather legs!  Tuesday will be a good warm up  day!

Good luck to your mother on the surgery!

Clynn, meant to mention the cat table as well!    Great looking!  No cat here but I would love that table.

Tsk, I cannot read street signs either.   Maybe that is what the gos is for!   
Several break downs today, microwave  will not start and the  sliding door on a library style cabinet I have in the kitchen fell off  the track and a glass shelf fell!   I got the door back on but now I cannot open the other side!  Will wait for help!  Looked oytsine and I think there is a dead bird on the front walk!  If not a bird something shiny black that looks like one to me!  Perhaps I should go back to bed before something else happens!    Actually the sun is shinning brightly and Piper is kinda of snoring as she takes her afternoon nap!

Tsk, I do remember something about that black and white!

Lori, I have eaten 6 of those lucious cookies with my afternoon coffee!   Thanks!

T40 - Many thanks for the videos.

karen - I will pop on here when I get closer to let you know I am waving at ya!  ;D

I want to get up and leave early, so heading to bed soon. 

Have a good night, Beakers!

Lani, I looked up the Town Dump. looks like a fun place ...but it ways it's permanently closed! What a shame. I wonder what they did with all the stuff! I would love to dig around in there!

karen, tsk, I probably won't drive at night anymore, not that I did that much anyway...

I was looking for something in my purse and ran across this. Mom wrote down the directions to the Eye Clinic in Evansville, IN. I told her we just needed the address, that we would use the navigation in the car, but she kept on writing...

Tsk  LOL your AM Caturday.  Glad Tim's better  I do recall you mentioning your eye condition earlier. Shame on me for not thinking of asking about that.  :( 

Karen  I understood what you said about 'the housekeeper'.   So glad you can get out on your own when you want. I know you will---do take care.  Sounds like the perfect puzzle for Tsk. Bet she could snap that together in no time!

{{{Tig}}}  


Oh my goodness Lani those Maine Coon kittens.   :-*    The PG Sphinx ---so funny and yet.  Just perusing the shops is fun in and of it's self. IMHO

Lani, we have the Prairie Albion Antique Mall in Albion that I always go to when I am there, I love seeing what's new since I was there last, and I always find something to buy!  Mom used to go with me but now it's too big of a place, she just can't stand and walk that long.
(https://www.downstateil.org/images/uploads/2018/08/7592_9ceadf471c97b7393d04eeae55e194bc.jpg)

karen, hope you and Piper got to sleep without any more incidents!

tsk, yes, Mom and her directions...Mom's handwriting was even prettier when she was younger, but Dad's handwriting was beautiful, I don't know how that happened with the sketchy childhood he had!  Dad always wrote our birthday checks, $1 for every year old we were. One year Mom wrote mine and I could tell immediately... and I protested.  ;D

CLynn antique malls can be such fun and it's always easy to find that 'that something' one can't live without.  LOL

The Everly Brothers: My favorite song of theirs:
"On the wings of a Nightingale"
Don and Phil were born in Jan/Feb so a reflection time.
https://youtu.be/9Fq2jQLpZGA?t=2 (https://youtu.be/9Fq2jQLpZGA?t=2)
Just wait a sec and skip any advertisements.

Their close harmony style influenced The Beatles, The Hollies, and Simon and Garfunkle.

Addendum: This song so much reminds me of Scott. He loved them too and we listened to their CD's (LOL at the time before the change in technology) often.

I am happy now...meaning happy to be alive every day. But not that Happy feeling that comes with living with your soul partner...only a memory now.

Another vid of Simon and Garfunkle with the Everly Brothers in St. Paul, MN 2003 acknowledging each other.

Watched the whole thing and that was fun. Esp. the speeded up ending.
I have to wonder how one learns the trade to maneuver that big bad boy into port!
Loved the spin to back in.

Scott and I once spent 3 days in a hotel on the canal. Wish i remembered the name of it.

Evening Beakers

Wanted to check in and let you all know I made it to Savannah safely.  There was no traffic along the way, but the temps were all over the place.  When I left home it was 23, got to VA it was 14, got to NC it was 31, SC and GA in the mid 40's.  I had to start shedding some clothes in the car. 

Lani - I sure will give Miss Fisher's biggest fan a hug.   She has been busy today with meetings about the convention, that she only called to check on me once during the drive.  ;D

tsk - Thanks!

clynn - Crazy Ozzy...lol  Thanks for the pic from SWFL!

kb -  Reindeer cyclone very cool!

Phyl - Thanks!

karen - Yep, was on my way.  Left home a tad after 6am.

E4E, a nice afternoon with Mom & Sis, perfect Sunday! I talked to both of my sisters yesterday. one in Texas and one in Oregon, and also Mom in Illinois! My Sunday visits! We were military kids, so we all scattered when we left home...
 
karen, I am still chuckling about your sweatpants falling off! Piper can't un-see that!  ;D  I do hope you had your big whites on!  Now get some smaller sweats ordered, you have lost all that weight and deserve some new ones that fit!

kb, love the bear with her adorable cubs!

tig, fascinating video of the Munson in the fog!

Lisa, glad to hear you are having a good trip, and Mom is all a flurry with her convention! What fun!

Phyl, hoping Maggie is feeling better this morning... The kittens are doing fine, they had another dose of Bella yesterday, Sophie played with her, Sam hid under the bed.  :o

Phyl. How is Maggie this morning?
Bpught a replacement Microwave yesterday and it will not arrive and be installed until February 10th!   Got it at Home Depot and no one in town has it!   The orice is outrageous!   Up 400 dollars over what I paid in 2017!   I cannot decide how important it is to have matching appliances!   Currently, the stove, microwave and refrigerator, all on the same wall have distinctive round,silver colored handles  and no others do!  When the house is sold I think it would be odd for these  not to match!  In the mean time it is on order!
Off now to wait for Lisa to drive by!

Hayes Scriven Photography · Last One In -The John J. Boland came in through the Superior entry this morning, marking the end of the shipping season on Lake Superior.
The Tug, North Carolina came out to break ice in the entry and provided a great double shot. As the Boland passed through the entry the Captain came out and said: "Hello, I would give you a salute, but my horn is broken." I am sure that will be fixed during winter layup.

Hi Clynn! Hi Karen, Kbs, tsk, Lani, Phyl, Karen, Lisa, oldguy, puff, tig, bazi, Jill, blschue, Paulie, T40, Emy, Lilbro, E4E, Peep, Nora, Ginger, Jaspurr, Pink, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, lindy, Bggolden, godiva, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, nanimal, ruby, Oma,  f22raptor, jicaji, LB, the cheers & Jewelies groups and All! 
There was an amazing Eagle rescue in Iowa recently, T40 probably already shared this story, but here it is, posted January 21st.   This injured Bald Eagle was at that same spot for 3 weeks so I was thinking it's mate must have been feeding him. I hope he can be rehabilitated and released back at Spirit Lake. The bald eagle, named Dickenson, will be transported to another Raptor rehab in Carroll, Iowa. I think that is SOAR!!  Prayers for you Dickenson

Found an UPDATEposted 15 hours ago VIA Facebook Forever Wildlife Lodge & Clinic
 Dickinson Eagle Update: he broke his wing in the right spot. As he was down for so long without care the break had set. The location on the wing of where it broke & healed was in a place he could still recover to be released as the wing is still functioning. It will take a long time to tell. He’s still in the ICU at SOAR gaining back weight. Continue to pray for him in his recovery.❤️
All the other raptors sent are also in ICU & maintaining at this point as well.

Video link and story below
https://who13.com/news/iowa-hunters-help-rescue-an-injured-bald-eagle/#:~:text=SPIRIT%20LAKE%2C%20Iowa%20(KCAU),ran%20across%20the%20bald%20eagle.

SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa (KCAU)– A rare close encounter with a bald eagle led two men to assist in a once-in-a-lifetime rescue.

“December 7th, I was out deer hunting,” Dickinson County resident Wade Woltman said, “and I kind of just drive and check out valleys looking for deer, and I ran across the bald eagle. It was about 20 yards in, I took a picture of it. I actually sent it to my friend saying I can get close to a bald eagle, but I can’t get close to a deer. I kind of made a joke of it.”

Woltman is an avid hunter and has seen many eagles in the area in the past few months. He thought nothing of his close encounter until three weeks later, when he returned to the area with one of his friends.     

“It was just sitting there, and he had told me that was the same one he took a picture of, so we both kind of thought it was odd,” Dickinson County resident Roger Linn said. “And so we turned around and we went back there and actually got out to walk towards it a little bit, and that’s when we noticed it had a broken wing.”

Not able to sleep at night knowing the bald eagle was in need of help, Linn search for people that could save it.

“We made the calls that we thought we’re supposed to do as far as the DNR, Bird Haven,” Linn said. “It’s a federal bird, so I was having a hard time finding somebody that could help me. I knew we couldn’t do nothing ourselves. We were able to get a hold of a place called Raptor, they introduced us to Amanda.”

“I received that call about 7:45,” Amanda Hase with Forever Wildlife said. “It was about a two hour drive to go up there and the roads weren’t the greatest, but you know, of course, I said if he’s still up there, I will come and get him.”

Amanda Hase has been rescuing birds for roughly five years and has rescued around 20 eagles in that time.

“Upon arriving on the scene he was still in the same spot, and then we kind of came up with a plan,” she said. “I had them assist in holding the lights to kind of manipulate the eagle to not really know what was going on, and then obviously was able to capture him pretty quickly.”

“Watching this lady just grab a hold of its legs was awesome,” Woltman said.

The bald eagle’s left wing was confirmed to be broken. It is currently being held in Sioux City by Hase.

Both Linn and Woltman said that to meet a bald eagle up close was amazing.

“It’s a once in a lifetime thing for me,” Linn said.

“It’s exciting,” Woltman said. “I mean again, you’re never going to get that chance, so you gotta take it.”

The bald eagle, named Dickenson, will be transported to another Raptor rehab in Carroll, Iowa.

Hase recommended people reach out to their local DNR or a wildlife rehabilitator if they find an eagle on the ground, and to avoid getting close to it.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

I have read posts from Caturday and yesterday, and so far today, but I still need to read them from the 2 weeks before!

Waving to All the Beakers!!


Clynn, I love the pics of Sam and Sophie - sleeping, and playing with Bella.  :-*  They are so cute, and I love their names!!  :D

Karen, I hope Lisa grabbed those beads you tossed her as she drove by! I have multiple sizes of clothes in my closet, too!

Lisa, I hope the last leg of your trip went well, and you are safely at your mom's now. I think I heard a long distance horn honk the other day from you, whizzing past... Got heavy foot??  ;D ;D  Just kidding...  ;) :)

Lori, thanks for the story and the good news update on the Bald Eagle, Dickinson! I think that's what I call a Lucky Break. I hope it has a successful recovery and release!  :-*

Lani, I missed your birthday, and Aly's, too!  I hope you are both still celebrating, though. You have said you like to celebrate yours all month, so you have more than a week left to do so!  :D


I pulled for the Lions, and the Chiefs, this weekend. YAY!! And, whew!!  :D




HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, LANI!!   :) :-*

Taking a break from cooking.  Since meeting was cancelled, made some fruited jello, pasta frijole soup, and a cheeseburger tater tot casserole for dinner. Bacon on sale - so now need to cut up, wrap and freeze .  Two loads of dark clothes done!  I foresee some quality time spent on my puzzle this afternoon.  ;) ;)

KB   Love the lion  :o

CLYNN    LOLOL  I was watching the Detroit game so I wondered.... ;) ;)   Otherwise would have gotten right by me  8)
I think being a tug driver would be great fun.

LORI   Thanks for that uplifting report on Dickinson. He's in good care.  God bless the deer hunter - right place - right time.

LISA/KAREN    ;D ;D ;D

LANI   Great greeting for OLDGUY  ;D   That is such a great system they have for making sure the Royal egg hatches properly and successfully.   LGK  looks perfectly contented  ;)

BAZI     " carry brains"    LOL

Lori - Very nice birthday post for OG!   Amazing rescue story of the BE - especially the part about how this injured BE was at the same spot for 3 weeks and probably was brought food by its mate!! Wow!!  Thank you for the pictures & status.
Tsk - Enjoy your puzzle - perfect weather for staying inside to have fun with puzzling. ;D   Yikes-the Circadas :o  Yes-great football games yesterday!   Your dinner casserole is going to be yummy - wish I were there! :)
Kb - Handsome Kambula!  So happy that you & Ollie got to head out for a walk today!! :)

Spent much of the day moving snow - got the deck cleared and half of my side walk.  Used the new power shovel - it did very well, got about 15-20 minutes of solid run time on a full battery charge.  Snow had compacted down to 20 inches deep at the deepest points.

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ca/92/96/ca92965a28706fb459cd8b86f236f6d8.jpg)

Currently 43F cloudy     High  52F  rain,  Low 43F 

Snow's about gone   ;D
Lisa  I hope you're at your Mom's by now and all's well.

{{Karen}} Got your PM, tks.  :-*   Here's your answer.


 Thank you all, so much for your concerns. 
Maggie spent Sunday night in the far reaches of the closet in room where the computer is set up. She had been trembling noticeably. I
took her temp via her ear and she was at 90F. Normal is 100 to 105F. She spent some time on a towel covered heating pad set on low for a while. But later retreated to the closet. I don't think she's eaten much. When the temps were so fridged she was eating 4 of the Hills petite  cans a day---suspect she was trying to pack on some pounds quickly .  Jim has set the thermometer  on 70F at night as PetMD suggests this is the lowest temp cats can tolerate.
 Trembling/shivering is also an indicator of fear/ severe pain, kidney issues and some times heart and other issues. Before we turned-in for the night, I told Jim that if I can get in at anytime Monday, I’d call the store requesting he come home. So then  decided to call South-side Monday AM as soon as I could throw  on some old yard  clothes and wash my face. I ran thru what had been going on --- they worked us in Mid morning.
I pulled on a robe and made the rounds to located Maggie not in the computer room closet, nor ‘neath our bed (what a relief, it’s too cold there) the bottom floor of the kitty Kondo, not the spare bedroom either. So plodded downstairs and with each step I searched for her  surveying  her dishes (food still there-no surprise) and then into lavatory the Loo hadn’t been used since late the night before.  As I retraced my steps---Bingo!  Living room, underneath the end-table next to the dinning room. My baby was all scrunched in a ball with her bony back to the world. I slipped between the able and wall and reached down lifting her up with one hand quickly cradling her in my arms ---sitting in my Lazyboy I talked to her  asking questions I knew she couldn’t answer vocally.  With her in one arm we went into the kitchen I set her on the counter and grabbed condiment  dish warmed them in the microwave and mixed her Cosequin and  the crushed BP tablet with some Catit creamy chicken treat. She licked the spoon and that was all.  Carried her back to living room deposited her where she had been,  setting  the dish along side of her.
I  did the usual AM routine. Went back down---she hadn't  really moved. But! She’d eaten half of her meds.  I felt victorious. Half  s better than none.
Made coffee and called  the store and asked for him to come home---they put him on and he said ‘On my way.’  Finished dressing and all.  Heard the garage door and then Jim chatting to Maggie.
We had a quick cup, loaded Maggie in carrier and off we drove. Walked in and were told Maggie’s al checked-in then took our seats.
Short wait and quick triage. 2 minutes and doc walked in  reviewed , examined, observed and discussed.  Maggie was taken in the back for her BP and venipuncture/urine. Nurse came in with Mags then said ‘Ooops. Didn’t dry her belly. Be back” Returned.  Then doc came in and said she’d call Tuesday PM or Wednesday AM  with results and numbers. Doc had done a through physical exam and spent time with her heart---said I just hear a Grade 2 murmur maybe 3 at the worst. Took her temp, the 'other way' and her reading was 100F.  Whew!
Mags had been favoring her right leg and for the past 36 hours and the shivering was more pronounced than ever. Pain. They had placed her on that side to take her BP.  We were given  Buprenorphrine  Oral,   opioid for pain  on a PRN basis shot on the gum. After things settled at home and before Jim return to work  He cradled her and I gently prised her jaw apart and shot about half the dose. Exactly what I wanted to happen.  She’s been back in the lower room of Kondo leaning on her left  ‘arm/elbow’  favoring her right. Alert and watching me here.
Before turning in, we gave her the other half of her first dose. Tomorrow I'll see how she's doing and decide  if I'll do a full dose TID. I hope she eats her Catit and meds this AM.
 That’s where and how it all stands for the present. Just have to wait on blood/urine results in a couple of days.


Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats;
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Berry College Eagles - We are saddened to announce that on Saturday both eggs were revealed to have collapsed. There was no sign of any real contents, so the presumption is that this season's eggs were never viable. You may see the remains of a shell on the rails of the nest. It was a nice surprise to see both eagles working on the nest this morning, customizing it to their liking. Some people have asked whether a second clutch of eggs is possible. While re-clutches do happen, they are not common. That being said, we will enjoy it and keep you updated if by some chance it does happen!

Royal Albatross Cam - Posted 14 hours ago.

1/23 Hello little Top Flat chick

Sharyn Ranger DOC ~This morning's check of the incubators show that the Top Flat chick is nearly hatched. A lot of progress has been made overnight. The umbilicus is likely still attached to the membranes of the egg. The drying out process takes a few hours, but it is possible that the chick will be returned to the nest later today. The down will be nice and fluffy by then.

UPDATE: Posted 2 hours ago

1/23 Here comes TF chick with Ranger Colin!

Royal Albatross ~ The Top Flat Chick Has Hatched! 🐣 Welcome To The World Little One! 💗 1.23.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8xQ_HMsB30

The Top Flat chick hatched earlier today in the incubator but the rangers had to wait to return it to the nest because of the bad weather. While they were waiting, Mama LGL came in and had a wonderful reunion with LGK. She must have known that her chick was going to hatch today and she flew in for the celebration!!

The video begins with ranger Colin spraying around the nest with Avian Insect Liquidator a safe insect repellent to protect the hatchling from flystrike. Then Colin will bring the container with the Royalcam chick to be placed under LGL. He removes the dummy egg and puts the wee hatchling under Mom. Look at LGL smiling as she looks down lovingly at her new chick! And Colin was smiling as well as he was recording video of this blessed event!

The chick weighed 300 grams at hatching and the rangers will be making stops twice a day at the nest to weigh the chick and to check it for any flies or issues.

Congratulations to LGK and LGL on their new hatchling! And Congratulations to the entire DOC and RAC staff for all their hard work in hatching the chicks in incubators and then returning them to the nest. All of us Aunties and Uncles are thrilled to take part in another season of watching this little chick grow up and fledge! Thank you for watching!

Lani, wonderful update on the Top Flat chick! At the end of the video it sounded like Mama said Thank You and Goodbye to the ranger. So sweet when she did the shimmy on the baby...  All is well!

tsk, there you are! And are you doing nothing today but working on puzzles?  ;D

oldguy - Happy Belated Birthday, sorry I missed your special day!

tsk - Yes, a lil shorter drive to Mama's.  Will give her a hug.  All if your food you made sounds so yummy.

Lani - Thanks for the Royal update!  I got a good night sleep and even slept in this morning.

kb - Waving back at ya from the wet South today...lol  I brought all winter clothes and its 65 today!

E4E - Thank you, and I sure will!

Phyl - Hoping all will be ok with Maggie....bug hugs!

Penguins are slow to evolve, making them vulnerable to climate change

A sweeping study of extinct and living penguins shows the birds may not be able to keep up with the breakneck pace of modern warming.

CLynn   Tks for Maggie prayers. Say, you know I have that video of the 'Two Oceans' meeting. A classmate of Larry/Dan's sent it to me years ago.
 Just awesome isn't it?  Harley  :-*

Tsk breakfast looks yummy; enjoy puzzle updates--has Lulu been helping?  ;)

Lani  thanks for the Royals update/photos of Top Flat (TF) now that all dry and fluffy.   So appreciate the Maggie prayers and keeping us all as regulars on Beakroom prayers  :-*

OLd Guy  so sad about  loosing Grindavik  and Lesley not doing those wonderful videos. :'( :'(
 Tks for other links will check out later

KB loved the lion and all the felines you post. Has your snow been melting? I hope so .

{{{Phyl}}} Thanks for RRP blog, Sanderlings and NG article I will read later.....  sending gentle hugs for Miss Maggie and praying all will be well soon.  :-* ... I couldn't find some of the camouflaged small critters (mallard ducks, hare).... who knew dolphins could be jerks...   thanks for links.

Lori, We can't forget the bacon! I think I may make Mike a BLT for lunch!  ;D

Clynn, "Hi Harley" my two boys say Hi back too! :-* ... very sorry about Berry eggs.... an amazing sight of the two oceans.... I'm amazed at how calm Mom LGL was during the exchange. It's like she said "Oh my, What do you have there?" and she's immediately accepting of chick.  :-* The rangers take excellent care throughout this whole process... Fire ant bites are painful. Amazing critters.

Tsk,  we've had light rain since late yesterday afternoon. Hopefully, it continues all day. I hope Tim is doing well.

Lisa, glad your home, you and your mama can spend TLC time... I've never tasted a Moon Pie, but I do love Po'boys! Yum!! Sorry about your car's windshield. So glad it didn't interfere with your travels or cause serious accident. Mike must have to replace a windshield once every two or three years. Aly has a windshield she's going to have to get replaced soon. We get so use to driving on the AZ highways and having a rock hit your windshield. Mike usually waits until the spot gets bigger now, or we get two or three spots.  :-\ .. I get nervous about it, and want it replace asap.

Good Morning! Lani, so glad to see the Albratross! Clynn was right about the video, it looked like LGL said, thanks for taking care of my baby! Cly nn-The Berry nest...  :-\
 I wonder what Mama Berry is doing?I'll bet she's doing great! Miss her. Phyl-you are taking such sweet care of Maggie... she deserves to have the  princess Diva life and she is lucky to have you! Many hugs and prayers for her. My Diva sends purrs... e4e-you are so sweet! I know it was an amazing story! I was just assuming his mate was feeding him, I just don't see how an eagle can survive on the ground for 3 weeks otherwise. I will check on him. Lisa-have fun at your Mom's you are probably exhausted. Save some moon pies for Karen, I will post some KK'S for her today!  ;D Everyone have a wonderful day! Today is sleeting and pure ice outside over top of the snow ::) :P

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


Great news about the new hatchling Royal Albatross being slipped into the nest!  :-*



Phyl, sending wishes for comfort and healing for sweet Maggie.  :-*

Clynn, great to hear Harley is doing well. I probably have missed previous posts about it, but I'm hoping Harley and Sam and Sophie are all getting along together okay, or at least tolerating each other.  :-*

Lisa, glad you made it to your mom's okay, and you got to sleep in this morning! Ahhh...

Lori, ugh on the freezing rain and all the icy conditions. I hope you all can stay inside and hope it melts soon! Your KKs are making me salivate!

Lani, LOL, yeah, too bad for the Bill's kicker... not!  ;D Glad you're getting some helpful rain.

TSK, I agree, all the food you were making sounded so yummy. I've never had the burger and tater tot casserole, but I would like some, please...  :D

OG, sorry to see Lesley the Bird Nerd won't be making more videos of the birds, but I can totally understand why, and I wish her all the best. Glad your power shovel is helping, but golly, that's a lot of snow!!

E4E, I hope you had a great visit with your mom and sister!  :)

Karen, when will you get a chance to have some help putting your wonky shelf back right? I'm looking forward to the warm-up! It's coming to my area tomorrow. Ahhh... I hope you and Piper get to enjoy the warmer temps coming your way!  :)


Waving to All the Beakers! Stay safe, and warm!  :)

Bible study was cancelled today as many walkways were still in partial ice mode.  We are all "seniors" and no one wanted a broken hip today  LOL  So took advantage of that extra free time and tackled another Jan project - the file cabinet - shredding old invoices, receipts, bills  etc.  Phew.  Glad that is done.

LANI   Beautiful photo of the hatching baby albatross.  So fragile.

CLYNN   Over to Barb's by 10:30 to wait for a service guy for a device beeping in their basement.  Long story but two new batteries did not solve the problem..  Must be there tomorrow around 9 for electrician to come and pick up mother board. 
See above and note that I did not waste a minute and got the file cabinet updated with cancelled Bible study  LOLOL  Now will sit with my tea and try and get the border done on my puzzle.   Housework in all the other minutes you didn't see accounted for  ;D ;D
Incredible ant raft...Don't get Disney but maybe sometime on PBS

LISA  How convenient to have a Safelite nearby for repair.  Mom is so happy to see you.

PHYL   Took a long while on some of those "protective coloration" pics - So amazing.

LANI   Thanks for Lynn's report - always interesting.

Lori  so touched ny your 'Get Well' and prayers for Maggie. Divas come in assortments. My little Diva sends purrs to your little Diva.

LaniBLT's  ;)   I was thinking of KB's bacon cheese grilled sandwiches. Jim says Publix has run out of the pepper bacon.  But, I got two  loaves of the thick-cut brioche bread on BOGO. Thanks for Dr.  Rogers post. It seems like a long time since we had those here.

Tsk casserole sounds yummy; you don't waste a minute  ;);  I know it can be difficult spotting those camo critters---the publisher doesn't make it easy either.

Bazi tks for the 'Get  Well' wishes for Maggie.  :-*  LOL your Red R. Hood

Phyl, lots of interesting articles for reading a bit later. Love seeing the Sanderlings flowing with the waves... 32 here now, high 35 for today. I was able to get out yesterday finally. Had not gone out in my car since all the snow and frigid temps started! The roads were just wet, it was good to get out! Hoping Maggie is feeling better today...

Lani, thank you for posting Lynn's observations! Such an interesting place! So it would have been 13 years ago around this time of year that we were watching the cam on Jewell's den! And listening to the strange newborn bear sounds! You were always the one who could see the little ones, I always thought you would have been a good sonogram reader!  Wonderful video of the Mama chimpanzee reunited with her baby, so very sweet...

tsk, I should have known better than to assume you were laying around eating bonbons and doing puzzles all day!  LOLOL! Again I say, you are like the Energizer bunny!

Lisa, you are in the warm now! Hope you and Mom are having a great time!

baz, we haven't let Harley loose with the kittens yet but it won't be long. We wanted to let them get a little bigger and get used to each other's scents around the house. Harley is with me now, the kittens are up in our bedroom, where they spend the night and Harley gets to roam the house.

HI EVERYONE

LANI   Awww  that was so perfect with Mama hugging her newborn.  Caretakers sounded like they may have had tears  :-*    Funny good night pic.  The keeper of the noses  LOL

KAREN  You were as busy as a beaver yesterday  :)  Glad all the plants made it.  Your efforts paid off.  I have also taken a picture of a shelf or the like to make sure it goes back the same way, esp if I like the way it was.  ;) ;)

BL   Holy smokes when was the bull dolphin fish caught?  How long did it take to land it?

PHYL   Enough food for all at the buffet 365  :)  Amy's blog.  Bottom line - hopefully the new trackers will be reliable - All that work and none have worked sufficiently well.  Interesting about fingerprints...

CLYNN  In that island pic - do you suppose the little red structure is the loo?  LOL    Amen " short side  long side"  My new sheets have " top or bottom"  Phew

Paul Kammen took this gorgeous photo of a long eared owl taking off in Southern MN.

Been "locked up" inside as fog/mist has made the roads too slippery to even drive they say.
Waiting to get above freezing temps before heading out for a must need grocery shop.
Same weather yesterday and may continue through the week. We need some wind and/or sun to function properly.

Home again, home again, jiggedy jig. I went to the closest grocery store.

My mailman around 10 stated he fell twice already and he wears yaktrax.
We laughed that we both saw the salt trucks drive around but weren't dropping it.
We think they are just "messing" with us now. They've had to do nothing hardly all winter.
Two more at minimum mornings like today.

Very little snow. This was a day ago or so and it looks the same today.

Yep, KB, luckily (since I was up, sort of, all night watching tennis with Baz) I left late for the pool this a.m. One section of our sidewalk was still slippery.
I had a good werkout.... the pool had to be 87, felt great!

Good Afternoon Beakers

Mama is out of surgery, and in her room.  She does not do well with anesthesia and is very nauseated.  They have already given her three different medicines to help with that, and this last one seems to be helping and also making her sleep.  The doctor said, all went well. 

Lani - That is me too, nervous and want the windshield repaired.

Lori - I am a lil tired, but i think breaking the drive up in two days really does help. I hope karen enjoyed her KK's!

baz - Thank you!  I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather.

tsk - I had remembered about the Safelite being by Mama's, cause I went with her to get hers repaired there when I was visiting a couple summers ago.

Phyl - How is Maggie?

BL - Nice fish, and I see you have a redneck tan...lol

E4E - Thank you!

clynn - Yes, warm and rainy today.  Mama and I had a good day yesterday, running the streets and eating out.  Love the small island in Lovrafjorden, Norway.  Oh, I am trying to remember what the tag on my fitted sheet says, I think it says long side.

kb - Great pic of the long eared owl.

tig, Puff, karen, oldguy - Afternoon  :)

LANI   health check - thumbs up  ;D

LISA  Prayers for Mama.  There are two anesthetics I cannot take and I tell them...fentanyl and versed - I puke for hours!!!    ((((mama))))

Tsk - You are always taking care of stuff and staying busy.  I'm surprised that you even have time to do puzzles! ;) ;D
Phyl - Still sending out good thoughts & prayers for your Maggie.  Hope she is doing okay. A warm gentle hug for you Phyl. :-*
Clynn - Glad you were able to head out and go somewhere yesterday!  I too, always love heading out for a little ride and an errand or two! ;) 
Kb - Hope your temps warm up enough to ease up on the freeze.   Just saw your picture and it looks like the snow is there to stay awhile longer. :-\   Love the picture of Rutt(??)  I know you are waiting for confirmation.
LisaG - So sorry for your Mom suffering with nausea.  Hope that by now, she is feeling much better.  Happy that the procedure went well.  Hugs for you & your Mama. :-*

We've been getting quite a bit of rain lately - which we really needed in our area.  We are forecast for some dry weather the next few days beginning tomorrow.          We are invited to our friend's house today for appetizers and dinner!! :)

Karen Yes. I've some things to re arrange with her diet---mostly the delivery of her BP meds. You know the old 'trial and error' things. Gonna be time consuming to find the right combo now that what was since working has to be discontinued She's got an electrolyte supplement I'm having to test on her.  It'll be 'hit and miss' in Beakroom for me.  Plus I've fallen behind in my threads that I maintain . And, about 3yrs behind in my sleep. We all know that sleep is a commodity  that one can never get 'caught up'.

Lisa so glad your mom's surgery went well.  Sorry that she's had probs with anesthesia .  Some folks are like that. Happy she's gotten
some relief from all that barfing.

CLynn hesitant to say too much about Maggie right now.  The new fitted sheet technology  would be a time saver for me. When they gonna do that?  ;D

Tsk  tasty looking stack this AM.  In CLynn/s island photo I was thinking the smaller red structure was the 'boat house' or some such, since it's on the wharf / at dock .   I'm sure your/Church's  kindness is well appreciated'.

KB  fantastic owl in flight.  :o   Sometimes one has to knuckle under to the weather.  :(     Take care.  Your poor mail carrier

Lani luv the cute snap of  Royal and newly hatched chick TN (?). Tks for their updates and photos

Tig envy you the nice 'warm' dips and laps in the pool.

KB tks for 'The Rutt Report'.  Let's hope admin has some good news and the moose in the photo si our Rutt

CLYNN  How did the eye patch over your glasses work for the driving?

EAGLES  Enjoy the evening out  ;D

TIG   You absolutely need to celebrate peanut butter day  ;) ;) esp after a healthy dinner - You earned it.

KAREN   These people are actually invited refugees who have fled their country and have spent 2 years in another European country being vetted and preparing all paper work to enter the US on invitation.  After 5 yrs here they can apply for citizenship.  Our church is working through Exodus World Service - one partner of it helps with resettlement - finds a place to live and helps get jobs. - another part helps with furnishing the dwelling and providing support visits, another group provides ethnic food welcome packets, another the baby packets which we decided to do for Advent
-Send your housekeeper over here.  I could use one  LOLOL  Praise the Lord, you are very lucky.  But you had good word of mouth.
-  Thanks for the follow up on the fish hook.  I hadn't heard and was afraid to watch...

PHYL   Watch out for yourself so you can watch out for the others in your care   :-*

Eagles, I hope you and Kris have a nice time at your friends.

Tig, I wish we had an indoor pool here. Glad you're able to enjoy using one during the winter.

Karen, what a great housekeeper you have!... I could use her help  ;D ... great news dad M was able to remove the fish hook. E23 is sleeping soundly with a full crop and parents keeping watch from the attic.  :-*

{{{Phyl, Jim and Maggie}}} I pray Maggie's new arrangement with her diet and meds works. Prayers for healing, comfort and peace for you.

{{{Lisa}}} I'm so glad your mama is doing better tonight and able to sleep... prayers she will be able to go home tomorrow. :-*

{{{Tsk}}} Bless you and your church for providing assistance for refugees.

{{{Puff}}} I hope you're well.

I'm still here and kickin' Phyl.  No worries.  Spent last night counting the seconds of the off and on cycle of thesump pump.   :-\  A least it's still working. 
I thought this ugly ice/rain/snow routine was suppose to change on Wednesday.  Now it's pushed over to Friday.  At least things washed all the icy stuff into the sewers.  Kept me totally in the house, as KP said, for a couple of days.  Next year, just because, I'll keep some icemelt on hand.  Two newspapers ended up a useless soggy mess because I wasn't adventurous enough (aka stupid) to tackle the driveway.  Went on a couple of errands yesterday; have another early out today 10:30.

Also, keeping track of your issues.  Hope all ends soon.

Thanks for the checkin!

Phyl, cool car!  34, high 36 today, and rainy. The snow is slowly melting...  Continuing prayers for Maggie... and for you and Jim.... Very interesting article on Zealandia! And then New Zealand was created!  Fascinating!  365 so so for today, no wildlife as there usually is. Here's a throwback for Thursday!

Puff, yes, the warm up was also pushed out a few days here as well, but finally! I told Ed to be mindful of the sump pump too, it's raining as well as a lot of melting snow...

Lani, cute little sleeping pug!

baz, hope you had a good nights sleep...

tsk, I forgot to take the patch when I went out, but I did fine! That is a wonderful program that your church has for refugees. Sounds like they have everything covered!

Lisa, glad your Mom did well with the surgery, hoping she gets to go home today!

kb, good to hear that Mr. Tower is back! Keep the camera handy!

E4E, how was your dinner with friends? Always nice to get together with friends! I need to get in touch with our little group from work, it's time we met and had our pitcher of margueritas again!

karen, glad to hear you had a good day with your help! I wish I could open the door to the deck...  ;D

tig, haven't been to Perkins for a few years!  We usually go to Cracker Barrel, need to try Perking again. Both are close by.

High today 40 - rain.   Snow disappearing quickly.

BAZI   How are you liking your new frig?

PHYL    The first Friday evening of every month in summer the town sponsors a classic car show.  That Fairlane reminded me of it.  :)    Beautiful Minn. sunrise 365 :)

PUFF   Agree - Had two events cancelled with the early week of ice issues.  We always have ice melt on the front porch and one in the garage.  I worry about the mail gal.  We got our mail at 10 PM last night as I was turning off the front light.  A sub mail person.  We did not get mail yesterday...Think a lot had to do with the ice.  I don't complain.  It is not a job I would want.

LISA  Hope Mom is perking up today  :-*

CLYNN   As many mornings we are posting at the same time  LOL    Love those throwbacks.  Life was so much simpler back then.      It is actually just my social concerns ministry that linked up with this group as a new Advent project.  Parishioners took a card off a tree and bought the gift listed and placed under the tree unwrapped.  We were told what the 27 baby items were which made it easy. Then  few of us assembled the "packets" - actually big bins to hole everything  We do not participate in the other things I listed.  It is what Exodus World Service does. We just chose the baby packets as it was an easy thing for our parish to do.
Sounds like you are already adapting to mono vision!!

Hi tsk.  Funny meeting  you here. . .

In my case, the mailman has the easy part because he can stay in his little cabby and just reach out for the mailboxes at the curb.  Except in my case when something bigger is shipped USPS, then he has to park it and walk up the drive to the door.  Ergo - Christmas card +.

Royal Albatross ~ Ranger Sharyn Afternoon Weight Check! Gives Thumbs Up - All Is OK! 👍 💗 1.25.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8LupRqxR6I&t=2s

Jan 24, 2024
Ranger Sharyn visits the nest in the afternoon for the 2nd weight check up of the day. I can only imagine how busy the rangers are now with chicks hatching and requiring twice daily health checks, looking for the pips on the incubated eggs & watching over the eggs that are currently hatching in the incubator!! Many thanks to the rangers and the DOC staff for their dedication and love for these albie chicks!!

Sharyn gives us a thumbs up - meaning all is OK with the chick!

Sharyn does a through visual check on the chick today and she sprayed the chick's bottom with the AIL and also around the nest. Is is just me, or does the chick look bigger today?? ☺ Sharyn weighs the chick and puts it back under LGL who is happy to have her little one back underneath her. Sharon pulled up some grasses and nesting material and threw it to the side and pulled fresh grass and presented it as a gift to LGL. LGL loved the new grass gift and started moving it around as soon as Sharyn left. ♥ Thank you for watching!

Therefore, I shall head out for some errands and a walk with Ollie later.

karen - Thanks for that SWFL update on E23.  A fish hook, that is scary!

tsk - Thank you! I think Mama is worried about going home, because her bed is high and she will have trouble getting in and out of it.  My brother said, she does not need to worry about that, he will make sure she gets and out. Very interesting about the refugees. 

Lani - Thank you!  All the doctors that have come in this morning keep saying to Mama, you might get to go home later this afternoon. They brought breakfast and she ate half of it, did walk a few steps in the hallway and swallowed the meds they wanted her to.  She was getting some pain meds in IV, but they told her she needed to swallow them not after this morning. Thanks for the Royal update!

Phyl - Thanks for the 365. 

Puff - You be careful out on your errands.

clynn - Thank you!  Love the SWFL pic, so sweet.  Remember both of those throwbacks.  :D 

kb - Love the Scottish Highland Cattle, too

Are you doing the "flip-flop" in 2 legs also ?

It looks like rain along your way home.   :(

LANI   Love how Sharon pulled up new grasses for LGL  :)

KB  Beautiful variety of cattle.  We had awful fog this AM - only a quarter mile at the airport.

LISA   Actually have therapy practice that with her in her hospital bed adjusted to the approximate height of her bed at home.  That will give her a method and confidence.  If she doesn't not have a grab bar at home - she should not use the bedrail to help her..

Tsk - Thank you, we did have a great evening at our friend's house.    Beautiful of your Church to be doing all that they are to help others. 
Puff - Glad you popped in to let everyone know you are still kickin'! ;D   Easy to understand why you let your newspapers go unpicked up for a couple of days (had they not wrapped them)?

Lisa, good news on your Mama!   You might not get rain until  day two of your trip! 
My ac  came on this afternoon!  Mickey said she thinks Dr. Hall set it on auto !  After day 2 of 80 degrees I guess it said enough!  Was hot as blazes last night though!   Never before in January!

Phyl, very eerie that the heat from the Iceland eruptions shows up in space!  Will read about Alzheimer's later.  Love the swans and their sounds in the 365!  Praying for you and Jim and Maggie to have a quiet relaxing weekend!  34 now, high 36 again today. The snow piles are slowly going down...

Lani, good music, didn't know you were a R&B fan! Mike has to travel again, seems like quite a bit lately! They must be making sure they learn every bit of his knowledge before he retires (next year?). Sweet video of the old man and his dog watching the sunset...

BL, ahhh, Santana, always good!

karen, A/C in January! But if it's hot as blazes don't you want it on?

E4E, a good group of dogs to play with, a youngster to keep things hopping! We are still having fun with the kittens, they sleep to recharge and then they entertain us with their antics! Look at Sophie's sleep position:

67now going to 76.  A few degrees higher tomorrow and then a little closer to normal next week!    Load of laundry in the. Dryer!  May get a hair cut this afternoon  but nothing else planned!   Too cloudy last night for the wolf moon!
Clynn, hear a lot about potato soup lately!   Either home made or ir from Panera!   Enjoy!

Maybe it's just as we are seeing Sophie's white tummy but are their colors now becoming more distinctive?  Love her yoga sleeping position.  :D   Soup looks yummy.  Too many carbs for Tim however.  :(  He is doing really well getting his daily blood sugars down.   It would break my heart to care for a blind RTH   :'(

KAREN  I hope Plan B isn't cutting your own hair  LOLOL

Have the last remnants of the Christmas holiday now down and up with some Valentine decorations.  Hauled 4 bags to Goodwill and a bags of puzzles/books to the library for their first of the year book sale on Feb 3rd. 

Since Tim has been doing so well, we are trying a new restaurant for lunch today as a reward.. ;) ;)  It's a church converted to a restaurant.

Thanks for the news Lori! 

Years ago, the city, village or whatever would announce a date tgey would pick up Christmas trees, at the curb!   They would shred tgem and later offer free mulch to residents! After a certain time, they kept the mulch!   I guess that oractice stopped as the workd turned to fakes!

Tsk seems like most disorders/illnesses in/with the human body are protein based.  I've started a bag for Good Will/Salvation Army myself.

Puff  so glad to read you're doing well

Karen I do cut my own hair. Fed up with 'stylists' that gab while they work and don't pay attention---ending up doing everything but what I want/like. Then I have to go home and do it over. So why bother. Speaking of I'm do for an afternoon with hair shears and a mirror. My hair is 'bout to my shoulders and is far too long for shape of my face and all. Talking like 1" to 2". It's layered so I could go shorter and have fun with mousse.  ;D

Tig tks for sharing Camper's snaps of Christmas tree. And, there's Pooh and  Tigger!  ;)

Lani  your poodle is living life in the 'fast lane' LOL

Lori tks for the update on Big Bear  cam. Wow! An egglet for Shadow and Miss Jackie.  :-*  Shadow will be a good provider.

KAREN   Here is the website    https://thefoxtailonthelake.com/   They built a large outdoor seating area attached to the church which in the summer I would prefer.  Inside is gorgeous with the high inverted "v" ceiling - huge bar and very contemporary.  BUT also very loud.  You could not go there with the "girls" and expect to have a conversation.  Food had somewhat of an Indian influence.  I had the Paella and Tim the chicken Shawarma rolls.  Will try outdoors in the summer maybe.
They still pick up trees in our town and citizens can help themselves to the shredded material.

LANI   Love the dog's outfit behind the wheel  LOL

TIG   Awesome tree light effects  ;D

PHYL   You're brave to do your own hair  :o ???

Maggie seems to have settled back into her normal self and routine. As I mentioned she has a change in her diet. Her kidney values ( and heart) went up a bit
and so the Catit treat I used as a vehicle for her BP med and Cosequin sprinkles---went 'Bye-bye".
Is now mixed into ProPlan Veternary Rx Hydra Care. It like a watery  orange gel  looks like the Catit chicken treat she's use to lapping up.
But! And, God above hears prayers for this little gal---it's liver flavor!! My Maggie loves liver---at the time of her onset---her fave was ProPlan Chicken/Liver.
With the Hills KD she lost so much weight---down to 2.5lbs. While the Hydra Care in less than 1% protine still will entice her to eat what she Rx'd.
She has all but lost vision in her right eye---that is evident when one watches her .
 A tad weak in the legs .But , she's not letting that stop her.   All agree that my little gal is 'still in the game'!
Thanks to God and Beaker prayers.    She cuddle with us last night and is back to hogging my padded upholstered desk chair ---
 leaving me with an odd chair from the dinning room.  :)


Sending 🙏 's to all .

Good Evening Beakers

We have had a very damp/foggy 28-35 degree week here.  About 1/2 inch of rain for the week.  On Tuesday while at work, a large garage door awning failed from too much snow/water load.  I was the closest to it verifying proper set of the garden center for spring.  About 25 from the door.  My back was toward the door and just out of sight - heard a very loud bang and then saw snow entering the aisle at my feet.  It took until noon Thursday for a crane crew to arrive and remove the awning.

The roads in the area are all normal and snow pack is down to about 1/3 of what it was 10 days ago...

Phyl, you have been up since the wee hours!  Thanks for the Holocaust Remembrance, so much sad history... That Maggie is a strong girl! The cuddle is a very good sign...  How are you and Jim doing?

Lisa, and you are also here in the wee hours before dawn! Good to hear that Mom is doing well, the worst is over! Now just to get through the recovery and she will be better than before!  Cute morning kitty!

Lani, I have taken so many pictures of Sam and Sophie, they are just so cute! They finally were able to jump the make-shift gate I had to my eBay room, so they are exploring constantly. We have had a few times that we couldn't find them, looked all over and there they are! I did get a load to the Goodwill yesterday, had to wait until Ed & Kelsey left to go junking! You and Kris have a good weekend!

E4E, I've not been getting much done with these kittens around!

oldguy, wow on Grindavík, something new. That kind of seals the fate of the town...  So glad to hear that you were not hurt by the awning falling...a close call!  Great Born to be Wild by the Rockin' 1000! Still watching the rest of the links, thanks!

tsk, the restaurant looks fancy, I would go for the salmon! Certainly not the grilled octopus with shishito peppers!  LOLOL!

karen, haven't made the soup yet, this weekend I will try it! Hopefully today!

The Banff Wildlife Crossings Project was implemented in Banff, Alberta.
Combined with fencing to keep the animals off the road, the structures have reduced animal-vehicle collisions in the area by more than 80% (>96% for elk and deer alone).

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

High of 41 today  cloudy

PHYL   You are a remarkable Mom to little Maggie.  So glad to hear that once again she is on the rebound.  This is the holocaust museum a few miles from me in Skokie - Tim and I went several years ago.  Would take days to go through it all - Amazing place.   :'( :'(
https://www.ilholocaustmuseum.org/

KAREN   We are ready to build the ark here.  So rainy/dreary for several days now.   Do not think it will be in today's forecast.

OLDGUY    Glad you weren't hurt!!!    Steve Lehto's piece on appliances was spot on.  Give me back the days of Kenmore - everyone one bought Kenmore back then.   I had a washer before this one that I had to reboot!!!  What a joke.  The "best" nowadays is the one with the fewest repair calls.... ::) ::)    Darci Lynn  ;D   1,000 musicians - WOW
We are really seeing a lot of progress with Bellamy on instruments  ;D

LANI   Love the little pillow for good night kitty.

LISA   YAY  Mom is home and will heal faster!  Will your brother then cover for you?  How did getting in and out of bed work last night?   
Tim's had one day so far where daily blood sugar was in the 120s....  He averaged all of his weeks the other day including the hospitalization, and the steroid injections for his hand joints and he is down to 150 ( vs 190s)

CLYNN    Love those road crossings.    I can imagine how much of your house those kitties have to explore  ;D

Puff thank you. Maggie's time comes...is gonna be 'rough' .

Well looky here - excitement in the windy.  I think it is encouraging and a nice discovery.  Hope there's further info; I might even dare a ride into the city.

My friend Theresa lives in the next town over, Westmont IL.  She follows the RRP channels; I decided to twist her arm to make the ride over with me to ATF in July.

Hope you're interested.

Happy Caturday Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Hi Baz! :)

Lori, love your Caturday pics/gifs, thanks for the rolls. YUM!  :-*

Puff, Cool eagle news!

BL Rover  ;D

Phyl, "Holocaust" a tragic part of our history.  :'( ..... I have much respect for the magnificent Bison! Big ole boys/girls!  :-*. ... OMG! Never mess with a black cat. Our Samantha would agree! Little girl was 8 lbs, sleek and intimidating! Our dogs and other cats feared her, except Weezel and Neiman...  But, a sweetie to her human family. We were putty in her paws.  8) :-*

Tsk, glad Tim is doing so well... love the kitties, the left one looks like Milo and the other reminds me of Weezel.

Clynn, I hope US Dept of Transportation would allow over projects such as the Banff Wildlife Crossings Project over our own interstate highways. Glad you doing well.  :-*

{{{Lisa}}} glad your mom is home and settled. Sending prayers for her healing and comfort. And prayers for you, get rested for your trip home.  :-*

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS!!  :D


My knee has asked for some extra consideration this past week. So I skipped my walks a few days early this week, but got in a 30-minute walk Wednesday, 35-minute walk Thursday, a 19-minute walk yesterday, LOL, it was at least something, and a 30-minute walk this morning.  Keeping things moving, but not stressing anything much.

It was an official 83-degree high temp here yesterday - the highest January temp ever here, since records have been kept.

I'm hollering for the UNC Tarheels, Jannik Sinner, the KC Chiefs, and the Detroit Lions to have winning games this weekend!! GO!!!  :D



TSK, working refrigerators are the best invention evah!!  ;D  I love mine! I got a basic one - no bells and whistles for me for a fridge for one person in a very small home. The newer-fangled ones with lots of electronic bells and whistles should be reserved for people who do not mind the cost, time, and exasperation of all that can and does go wrong, especially with the motherboard! ...Which, by all rights, should be called the Mutherboard!!  ;D 8) ;)

Oldguy, whew! Close call on the falling awning!! Glad you did not get injured!

Karen, shoot, hate you had to go to Plan B for your hair appt. I hope you can get back in soon. We've been having similar temps as you.

Lori, mmm, I would love one of those fresh cinnamon rolls and one of those coffees to go with. Thanks!  ;) :D

Clynn, awww... look at Sam and Soph!  :-* :-* Glad all went well when you went out without the eyepatch. Hugs!!  :-* Love seeing Keebler and Helen!  :-* :-*

Lisa, great news your mom is home! Glad you won't be heading back home before tomorrow - dicey weather possible today for the Mobile area, and along part of that route you would be taking. Hope that severe stuff doesn't develop, but keep your ears alert for any warnings. Wishing you smooth travels for your return drive.

Puff, wonderful photo and story on that BE!

E4E, that's a lot of pets to love on at your friend's home. Fun!  :)

Tig, boo hoo for Fritz and Coco. At this point, I'm pulling for Sinner to win it all!

BL, LOL on Kopje.

Lani, glad Mike isn't headed to the NOLA area before Monday - lots of road flooding from recent rains, and potential severe weather there today, so hope it all subsides quickly. Sweet report on the Royal Albies.  :-* :-*  You had an early wake-up call!!  :)

Phyl, yay for Miss Maggie's improvement!!  :-*  You could try this style!

Lisa, you may be following the rain and not driving through it!   Hope Mama is on pain medication!
Having our last
Way above average  temps today, rain tonight and cooler tomorrow .

Old Guy, how fortunate  for your company that no employees or customers were under that awning! What a disaster!  I am sure  you have excellent suggestions. For the rebuild!   I would not think there were any plants under there unless there are some trees and hardy shrubs!

Tsk, I miss Kenmore Also !   Much simpler  and easily Repaired!
  They were made  by  Whirlpool to Sears specifications.

Good post Baz!   Save your knees!

Mama was discharged yesterday, and we were back to her house around 3pm.  She is still in alot of pain in her incision area, but they said that was to be expected. 

I am going to try and rest today for my first leg of the trip back tomorrow. 

No better place to get rested, healed and recuperated than at ones home.
The hospital is not the place to get rest and feel better.

You and Mama get some well deserved rest today & tonight.   :-*

LisaG Pip and I are sending your Mom our very best wishes for a speedy recovery.   

Are you going Mobile > Jacksonville only tomorrow 01/28 ? 

Monday 01/29 Jacksonville/Savannah > Queenstown ?

I know U like to start your road tripping very early like us.   8)

As Karen mentioned you should be "following behind"' the exiting W to E rain on I 10 tomorrow AM heading towards Jacksonville. 

Monday heading North from FL/GA on I 95 AM to PM looks weather clear also.

Eburg,  :o LOL.

KB, gorgeous photo of that BE. Yay for the Towers!

Lisa, hugs. I'm glad your mom is finding it a bit easier to get in and out of bed. I hope she has a speedy recovery, and you all rest well there tonight.

TSK, you get a lot of exercise!  It's Cat TV for Lulu!!  :D  She's a sweetie, and seems like she has a pretty funny personality, too.  :-* :-*

BL, oh my, what a gorgeous White Tail Deer - a real beauty! Loads of sea fog here the last few days, blown over land from the water. It's beautiful, and eerie, to hear, and only partly see, what is moving about in it, especially when a sea gull suddenly comes into view, flying straight at your head from the thick cloud not 5 feet from you! DUCK!! (Gull!!)  ;) I was shocked (and disoriented, listening to the ocean waves I couldn't see) the first time I was on the beach in very dense sea fog and experienced that - I never would've figured they would fly in it - must be some incredible instrument panel they have!! I had none under nature's hood. Loved your description of hearing the hooves, and hugs and kisses to Kopje for following your command so perfectly. Nice photo!


Have a good night, All. Peace. SED.

Phyl, very interesting article about the art heist! $500,000,000...WOW! And still missing!  Good to see the Norths starting to get the nest ready! I pray they have good luck this year! We were so spoiled with year after year of Mom & Dad raising 3 successful eaglets! The Steller's Jay is a beauty, Becky sees those in Oregon! 32 here, high 34 today.

Lani, oh my, 7" of rain in Louisiana! I have heard on the news of the flooding there and in Texas, it said they got a month's worth of rain in 3 days!  Beautiful moonscape in your goodnight picture...

baz, love the pic of Lil' Punkin and Lil' Bro on the sled, they look like they are having such fun! I also noticed the missing tooth! Bella hasn't lost her first tooth yet!  Thanks for the Sarah McLachlan, beautiful song...

BL, Kopje, who's a good boy....   Great pic of the deer, we don't often get to see one with antlers like that up close!  He must feel safe at your place...

Lisa, safe driving for you today! Was this accident on your bridge or the other one?  https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/several-injured-in-serious-multi-vehicle-crash-on-marylands-bay-bridge-police/ar-BB1hm3o0

kb, great eagle picture you posted yesterday, glad to hear Tower is being seen often!  Thanks for the Sarah McLachlan song!

tsk, isn't it amazing how cats can be so different! We have always had two or 3 cats, and none are ever the same. Sam and Sophie are very different!

BAZI   Interesting observation about the fog and ocean.  What a sweet pic of the munchkins on that nippy day all bundled up.

PHYL   Hopefully soon we will have one of our own nests to watch  ;D   Fascinating story about the art heist.

CLYNN   Yes, agree with you after having cats for all of our married life.  How do you notice Sam and Sophie as different from each other?   Good  shot at SWFL  :D

Nice one, Tig...wish they'd spent more time explaining her recovery though..how long? etc.

Fog is just lifting a bit here now....

Every friggin morning/day since our polar plunge.
Some days with mist/freezing mist during the night/early morning making it dicey to walk or drive.

What a cloudy/foggy winter....I'll take it over snow but geesh a little sun once in awhile would be nice.

Royal Albatross - 1/28
A photo of Top Flat chick with foster parent WLB yesterday, snuggled in on her feet. Very cute!

http://AllABoutBirds.org/Albatross
Image credit: Sharyn DOC Ranger

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GE6JlNzaAAA8KRM?format=png&name=small)

Top Flat chick was removed from LGL and given to above foster parent for a few hours. LGL had been on nest 5 days and had not had enough food to feed chick when it was returned to the nest. When dad LGK returned to see new chick for first time. Ranger had returned their chick to them. It's been hot during the day. Remember this is their summer season... So feedings and weighins are closely monitored daily. Sometimes twice daily for some nests. Thank God for these hardworking and devoted rangers!

1/28
Hi everyone it was an eventful day yesterday but it did end very well.

Rangers arrived for morning checks. LGL - TF chick weighed and checked and WYL - TFT egg checked and off to the incubator.

Good evening!  Posted a message this morning and when I looked this afternoon I found it must
 have gone into cyber space!   I do not even have that option on this I Pad!  Or as Bella used to say, Ah Pad!
This morning was foggy, cloudy, dreary like the. Rest of tge country and then at about 10, “Sun”day  burst through with temps in the 😭50s!  A tad chilly following 5 days of 80, but, a lovely day!
Yes, that terrible accident was on Lisas bridge!  I can barely stand to ride over it , taking in the beauty of the Chesapeake, let alone drive it!   Lisa, take care and safe travels!
Bl, i am impressed with your little corner of the world and love the buck!  What abeauty and so trusting!  Hope he is okay!
Lani, now I know what happened to the nuns habits when they reverted to wearing street clothes!  Lolol!  So funny!

Forwarded a report on swfl to clynn.  One of the adults , thinking M flew low over the highway that goes past the nest and landed in the median where he pulled up grass for the nest!   He brings in a lot of road kill  for the pantry so am thinking he is familiar with this roadway!   So dangerous M!

Tsk, The Rangers do a fantastic job of keeping a record of each pair/nest. Several eggs are in the incubator now, there are a few chicks so they can do exchange for fostering at meal times.  While LGL's chick was being fostered with WLB, LGL was fostering WLB week older chick. It's amazing the Albatrosses are so accepting of other chicks.

BL, WOW! A 16 point buck! Fingers crossed he lives a nice long life... it is a amazing moon photo. Sundog is a great name.

Tsk, both games were great games!

Eagles, congratulations to San Francisco!  :)

Karen, I wish M wouldn't do that!  :(

karen, that would have been scary, seeing M15 in the middle of the freeway! Glad to hear it turned out okay.

KAREN   LOLOL  " Now you know what happened to the nuns habits when they changed to street clothes"

LANI   I was so glad I was not able to watch the second half of the Detroit game  :o :(   Love the black and white photos you often post.

Phyl, thanks for peaceful nature video and links. I'll look at the links tonight. (my quiet time) ... {{{Miss Maggie}}} I hope all goes well with your shot.  :-* I'm thankful here in AZ Senior cats do not need rabies shots especially in delicate condition like Maggie, and especially since it's recommended to keep cats indoors because of wildlife. We're not required to have city tags too.

Kb, beautiful Pink Flamingos migration, and pic of mom/chick.

Karen/Lani
From what I know this is an across the board Federal and State Law. There is also a question of getting treatment  w/o vaccine  and   fines if the police should ever be involved in dealing with the animal. Or they are exposed to her for whatever reason. I know the odds of she being vicious and rabid are nil. 

Vet had just done blood and other tests and temp last week and she check out as being healthy enough.  They also take temp before injection and if there's a temp no shot is given.       I happen to agree with you ladies. But, feel between a rock and a hard place.
I'll see how Jim feels.

Phyl, this. Is not a Federal law!   Vets require it to get patients in and get fees!  Many vets insist on wellness check annually to get tge fee which is okay with me and none of my vet practice's did all, vacs on seniors and never refused treatment.  Rabies vaccine is quite long lasting and animals titer higher prior to getting tge new vaccine than after,   This is from the american veterinary association not a local person. Hopefully Tn will read the science!  Good luck and I know you will do what you think is right .   Would be interesting to ask your vet if he would titer her before deciding!   Sorry, this is a real hot button issue for me.  There are so many ither animal problems.  Pets to Maggie

Lani, that baby sloth was sure licking his lips! I was cracking up at Sophie this morning, she was carrying a feather cat toy around, holding it up above her head and darting around trying to keep Sam from getting it. It was so cute, and of course by the time I got the camera she stopped, Here is a picture of them helping  (NOT) me with a puzzle yesterday...
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/09/d0/bc/09d0bcb1c88182f625c2c6c02514b7c6.jpg)

Phyl, I never got rabies shots for my cats until we got Honey and Harley from the Animal Rescue League. They reported the transactions to some place that sends a bill every year for $18 per cat and proof of rabies shots. I looked up the states requirements for rabies, and see that Iowa only requires them for canines! You can read here what it says for Tennessee:  https://www.animallaw.info/topic/table-rabies-vaccination-laws 

kb, 48 here right now, it's like spring except there is still snow on the ground. Much less than there was last week though!

Lisa, hooray, you made it home! It's always good to be home, I bet Jeff, Bandit and Misty were glad to see you!

karen, I made the potato soup yesterday, and it was good! I used a different recipe, Ed didn't want the corn in it.  https://throughthecookingglass.com/crockpot-potato-soup/  The only thing I changed was to use Chicken broth instead of the chicken base, and I used half and half instead of the milk (because I had already bought it for the other recipe).
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/1d/58/12/1d5812d6da8f1ab8185df510004e93db.jpg)

tsk, you asked yesterday how different Sam and Sophie are. They kind of remind me of Talon and Bella, Sam is the quieter one, a bit reserved and Sophie is all over the place! Sam purrs as soon as you start petting him, and he tries to nuzzle if he can. This makes me think he should have stayed with Mama a little longer. Sophie loves the petting but we have yet to hear her purr! He is crazy in the litter box, trying to make sure his business is covered up! She barely covers it! If I think of more I will let you know!

LISA   Home safe and sound.  ;D

PHYL    You need not apologize.....You were being very thoughtful and I thank you, but didn't want you to have the expense of mailing to me when I can get free access at my library.  Glad you made me aware of the story.  I will have time this week to stop in.  It is on my daily planner for Thurs LOL. ;)   Glad you cancelled the appt.    In a human related story I had to have a friend (nurse) give me some perspective with giving my mom a huge Calcium pill that I had to cut in half and which she had so much difficulty taking.  My friend said, " Sue, she is 88 yrs old and do not think she needs to take Calcium any more"...sigh.  Sometimes hard to see the forest for the trees.

KB   Nice to be able to say that about the 51 breaking a record.  Sure beats last year's situation   ;) ;)

CLYNN   How cute - your puzzle helpers.  ;D  Sophie has lighter fur.    I love the differences you see in the cats.  ;D
I have a friend who is doing a 4 month cruise...That I thought was long.  I could not imagine 1 year on a ship.  Glad there are people that do tho.  It is huge.  It is probably 10,000 steps to circuit the ship!

I called and  cancelled Mag's appointment today explaining to 'them'  that today was too close to her last visit which was last week. That visit had frightened her to some degree. And, I thought it was too much stress---saying that I'd reschedule for a later time.  I know Maggie had taken a spill in our bedroom last Sunday afternoon and landed on her 'sore shoulder and that frightened her. I was in here and not there to ' pick up the pieces' so-to-speak and console her .

CLynn  tks for the link and that is what I thought. Like I said earlier 'feel between a rock and a hard place' . Luv that Sam/Sophie; With  your modifications, Karen's soup  looks  as good as ever.

Tsk glad you'll be able to read the articles. Just a thought---some libraries will let a person have  the old periodicals when not timely. And,
some donate them to nursing homes and the like. It's an issue you might want to keep for yourself---  :-\   I can appreciate your human side of the vaccine issue w/ Mags and you are right--- But the law is the law and I could be hurting her more by not complying.

BL  for real ?  Cool.

Clynn, soup looks great and chock a block full of goodies!   The kitties are growing and maybe Sam should have stayed with Momma longer but?   Cute little ones!
My friend Mickeys cousin has just adopted 3  Maltese puppies!  8 weeks old!  They should be staying with their mom longer!  Being picked up Wednesday.

HI EVERYONE

BL    How did that ever happen - the Redwood tree thing?

KAREN   Mickey's friend's 3 adopted Maltese puppies - Hope she lives in a place with a big fenced yard  ;D  What fun that will be.  Would love to know their names whenever that happens.

LANI   Sweet good night doggie.

tsk, hope you have coffee in your hand!

Lani, so Mike doesn't like the corn in the soup either! Yes, I caught the sweet little wink from Binx! Awww, what a sweet good night dog...

BL, squack is right....  ;D

karen, 3 puppies at once! that's a handful!

Phyl, Where are you this morning? I have no doubt you take excellent care of Maggie, you have a good vet, he should be able to advise you on what is best for her...  We are set for a high of 41 today, and then 5 days in the 50s! I am sure that will change.  :o What a strange winter it has been so far.

Lisa, so it was your bridge that had that accident!  I thought so, and I am so glad you were far away from it! I am sure Jeff heard all about it! It's good to be home I am sure!

E4E, Sam and Sophie are exploring more and more! They just discovered the computer a few days ago and are fascinated with the screen and the mouse moving all over it!

eburg - Thank you for the heads-up!

clynn - Jeff had called me to let me know about the accident.  He said, it was very foggy Saturday morning and that both spans of the bridge were closed for several hours. I too, am glad he, or I were not crossing that day.  How are you making out with your eye?  Are you adjusting?  Very cool Stelvio Pass, Eastern Alps, Italy, but also scary looking!

tsk - Yes...safe and sound an yes, time for coffee!!! It's so good to have a pot of my own.   :)

Lani - Thank you  :D

Phyl - Yep, I am home, and all in one piece.   ;D

BL - Jackson Browne would be on the stereo, as my Dad would be outside BBQ'ing when I was younger.  He loved his music.

E4E - Bandit and Jeff were excited to see me.  Misty was a lil skittish at first.  I thought that was a lil odd, but I had never been away from her before.

kb, Puff, tig, and all - Morning  :)

Morning all.
Cloudy here once again, but no fog, so an improvement.

Eagles4 - Oh I'd love to visit you....maybe the only place in all of California I wouldn't mind these days.
Trouble is we need to devise a new kind of transportation system, LOL...I don't fly anymore, nor drive on freeways...trains that derail all the time, nope.
Hey, I got an idea: you travel here in the summer!

Lisa - nice to hear you are back home safely.

BL - In the mid 70's I ate lunch in West Hollywood with someone? and Daryl Hannah sat at the table right next to us. Those were the days when actors/Hollywood moguls etc. were able to publicly show up anywhere without being harassed.
And, now she's married to Neil Young!

Planes are loud this morning with low cloud cover heading NW into the wind.

But, but, one was really loud!...turns out it was an F-22 taking off out of MSP...
Hmm, what you doing here? ...looking for Rutt maybe? He was heading NW.

Phyl, interesting about a battery powered air plane!  What does Jim say about this?   Do not think I will be flying anywhere in 10 years unless it is with the eagles!  Lol
Sunny day with temps peaking about 60 this afternoon!
Lisa, is Misty friendlier now!  Perhaps she was angry that you left!
There are 😭2  males  Maltese puppies. As yet unnamed and one female, now named Lucy!   That was my pick but they did not know it and we are not acquainted!    They live in a  house  with a large fenced in yard and enough room for these puppies!  The thought of house training makes me nervous!   
The owls who took over the  nest in the west pasture at swfl have at least one baby!   Wish they would stay away  from the eagles!

Clynn, I think my picky eater man Mike will like the bacon (well done) on top of the potato soup. Heavy cream will thicken it more, which he loves... for myself I'll top it with bacon, corn, green onions & white cheddar cheese!... zig zagging Stelvio Pass reminds me of a few roads from Payson north to Flagstaff.... squirrels do that here too! Sit on the patio fence where one of our feeders hang, and peer into the large kitchen window! Their tails flipping up and down. LOL!!

Thanks Eburg for the cams update!  :)

Lisa, glad you're home... Misty was probably punishing you.  ;D ... how's your mama today!

Kb, darling pup! Owl police!  ;D

Phyl, yesterday, I had the same tech problems as you did today. That's probably how I ended up with two morning posts.... thanks for beautiful nature video and article electric concept plane. I wonder what life will be like in 2033.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)


I walked 28 minutes yesterday, and 40 minutes today. Today I walked down Bluebird Lane, but it was the wrong time of day for a Bluebird Escort there.  ;) I went from there, across the way to the kayak launch in the woods. The water in that area was higher than usual. Most of the birds seem to have been on break - it was around noon. I have noticed they tend to be more active certain times of day, and that is not one of those times.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBORAHG!  :D

Lani, the dachshunds were a hoot!!  They looked so calm and serene, too. They must be in the habit.  ;)

Lisa, glad you're safely home, and good to hear your mother is doing well. Misty was in a snit, maybe? LOL, I bet she has come around by now.  ;) :D

BL, were you and Jackson and Daryl up there for environmental reasons? I remember a time when there were people staying in the Redwoods to save them from removal, and also to save them from being poached.

Clynn, LOL, what a hoot - Sam and Sophie helping you with the online puzzle.  :D :-*  My nephew's younger twins are about the same age as my Littlest Greatniece, and one of those twins lost a front tooth a few weeks back, but her twin hasn't lost her 1st tooth yet... and they are identical twins. That has surprised me. I bet Bella, and my nephew's other younger twin, lose a tooth soon... Get the Tooth Fairy buyout ready!  ;) :)

Karen, I saw that story about electric plane development, too. Seeing all the recent news about electric cars having trouble with the batteries losing their charge so much more quickly in the colder temps would give me pause, and I would need to know more, because it gets a lot colder the higher a plane goes, as we know. I would hate to be aboard when the "Battery is low!" warning sounded!!   ;D ;D

TSK, I used to enjoy sitting in a comfortable chair at the library to flip through and read some great magazines and newspapers I didn't subscribe too. That kind of went out the window during the pandemic, and I haven't gotten back in the habit. Hearing you mention doing that makes me want to go to a local branch to check out doing that again soon. My doctor and dentist offices stopped putting out reading material during the pandemic, also, for obvious reasons, and they haven't changed that since. I wonder what I will discover at my library these days in that regard.

Hi Emyraud! Heat wave!  ;D

Eburg, thanks for the headsup on those cams going live again!  :)


Gotta run... things to do before my Tarheels play tonight at 7p, my time. Go Heels!  :D

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: clynndunn on January 30, 2024, 05:33:29 PM

Emy, we are having the same thing here, temps in the 50's for several days. Strange after the brutal cold temps and snow we had just a couple of weeks ago! I remember many March snow storms, April and even a couple in early May!  :o :o

Lisa, glad Mom is still doing well! Misty will come around! Harley may be mad at me because he has to stay downstairs with Ed during the day, but he pretty much did that before we got the kittens so I don't feel so bad. I want to keep them separated until the kittens are 'fixed' and recovered, just because he is so big and they are so little and he hisses loudly! They will be 3 months old on 2/3 so I think it's time to make the appointments.

kb, ahhh, the sounds I grew up with living on all the Air Force Bases! We were quite used to it but still loved to look up in the sky and watch them!

tsk, yes, some of those decorative bird houses don't look like they would be easy to clean out. I suppose you could just take it apart and put it back together every year...  Speaking of Daryll Hannah, I just read that she is pregnant! She is 60 and Neil Young is 75!  https://www.madhousemagazine.com/neil-young-and-daryl-hannah-expecting-their-first-child-together/

Lani, thank you for always bringing us the updates on our sweet Albys, love the videos!

Phyl, the Pyrenees are breathtaking, love when the animals enter the scene!

baz, good to see you! Stonehens.... LOLOL!  I have been gathering birthday presents for Bella and Sydney, both have February birthdays! Bella will be 6, Sydney will be 30!

Phyl, very interesting on Amelia Earhart's plane! We will have to wait and see if they really found it!  More beauty in the 365!  Thanks for Amy's Blog with the usual egg laying times, it won't be long! 27 here now, high 54 today!!! With partial sun!

oldguy, dang, it's getting so you have to double check everything these days. Here's another fake article, picture obviously photoshopped, showing Daryll and Neil with their twins two years later...   https://www.madhousemagazine.com/neil-young-daryl-hannah-announce-birth-of-twins/   I should have been suspicious by the name of the source, MadHouse Magazine...  ::)

Baby elephant fell asleep, worried mother elephant went to get the keepers because she couldn't wake up her baby.

I'm flummoxed. I have 3 Scott made short dog leashes for Ollie man in his house. Blue and white rope with 3 different clasps.
One is somehow missing...the one with the hardest clasp to open btw.
I've looked inside and out and can't find it.
Have no idea how this can happen. I hook him up with his short rope on in front and last evening when I went to do that before opening the door (I hold on to him when I do with the short rope) it was gone so I put on another.
An hour or so earlier I had taken him out back and then I attach a retractable leash on him (only place I use it for out back in the dark) I don't take his short leash off either...but don't remember if it was on or not. I think I would have noticed.

I can't imagine how he could get it off himself.
Couldn't go back to sleep last night just thinking about it. LOL

I found it!....outside in the fenced in back yard. The grass is a bit tall so earlier this am I didn't see it.

I have no idea how it came off him.
Luckily I don't walk him with these nor use them for anything other than holding on to him before letting him hooking him up outside.

1/31/2024~Eagle Country~CONGRATULATIONS On First Hatch of Season 2023-2024🐥 via ladydeeagle55 https://youtu.be/ET6IpIQRFJU?feature=shared

First good view of the Eaglet.. Welcome little one..🐥

Following the unfortunate incident when Hurricane Ian brought down the nest tree that Blaze and Abby once occupied, we’ve been eagerly awaiting to see where they might choose to rebuild. Throughout the last season, we observed their presence, but there was no clear “established nest,” and regrettably, no eaglets.Today, we are delighted to report that they are constructing a new nest in a fresh location on our family’s property, approximately 700 feet southwest of the old nest site. The tree they’ve selected is robust and has weathered numerous storms. We’ve revitalized our equipment and installed our cameras in this tree, believing it will become their new nest site. As we rebuild, we plan to add more features. Currently, you can enjoy our Nest Cam, Bayhead Cam, Remote Tree Cam, and our beloved Cow Cam.The future was uncertain, but it brings us immense delight to witness their long-awaited return.We’re excited to once again share with you the majesty of the American bald eagles. 

Some Back History ..
​Eagles have nested here since 2001. Their original nest and tree blew down in Hurricane Irma after 16 years. Nic  & Vic (the pair at the time ) They built a new nest in an adjacent tree. That nest unfortunately blew down in an unseasonable storm on 12-21-18. The nest you see now, the eagles built up after Dandy & Spur. Nic & Vic nested again and fledged 2 more,Hickory & Mossy in  2019/2020 season.
Nic & Vic did not nest here last season 2020/2021. Our hope is that they have moved on to a new area..There were a few males Eagles Fighting over the territory,nest and the  1 constante female which Eagle Country named Abigail( Abby) for short. As of Nov 1st 2021 ,when cams went live again for this season, it's been Abby and Skippy (one of the frequent males from last season) (now named Blazer,Blaze for short) here as a new pair. We wish them luck in their new relationship and hopefully for a great season with Bobbleheads too.

BL    How did that ever happen - the Redwood tree thing?

Quote from: baziunc on January 30, 2024, 05:12:25 PM

BL, were you and Jackson and Daryl up there for environmental reasons? I remember a time when there were people staying in the Redwoods to save them from removal, and also to save them from being poached.

Baz/Tsk
I guess you could call it a environmental 'stunt' that Jackson & Daryl were doing to raise awareness for the Giant Redwood Trees. They are both very active environmentalists. I was living in San Diego at the time and had made friends and climbed with some of the climbers that later went on to work on this iconic  Nat-Geo picture/article. (https://www.npr.org/sections/pictureshow/2009/09/redwoods.html) That's how I got this gig on a recommendation from one of those climbers back in 1990 as he knew J.B. somehow.

I was hired as part of the climbing safety & rigging team as I had prior experience climbing in the CA Giants. We were not told who the 'A-List' clients were going to be before we arrived at the undisclosed location.

We were just told "for god's sake don't let either of these 2 people fall out of the tree" .. well yeah duh' that kind of our job. They were both very cool and down to earth (so to speak) people with no celebrity attitude what so ever. And very good tippers I might add.  ;D

They both had previous rock and tree climbing experience so it wasn't like we had to man-haul them up to their  Portaledge  (https://www.mapquest.com/travel/outdoor-activities/hiking/portaledge.htm) for the nights sleepover. The weather was perfect 150' up that night as I recall and the sounds of the forest canopy critters was jaw dropping as usual.   8)

Clynn, thanks for the Jackie and Shadow pic and update! Talons crossed for a successful season for them this year!  :-* The Weather Channel did a highlight on them this morning while I was catching up on the weather news! - showing their Live Nest Cam  and it looked like maybe it was Jackie on the 2 eggs in the nest at that time. Fun to see them talked about on a TV show that gets such broad coverage!! I hope it gets people who don't already follow live cams to look into it and learn more and care more about Bald Eagle, raptors, and "Nurture and Nature" issues. Our Earth needs all the love and care it can get! Thanks for sharing, and thanks to The Weather Channel, too!  :)

Clynn, those are big birthdays coming up soon for Bella and Sydney! My younger twins turned 6 in December, and my LGN will turn 6 not long after Bella does. I remember I was 6 years old when I lost my first front tooth. I bet Bella loses hers soon! Sydney turning 30!  The younger folks won't be able to trust her anymore... LOL... Remember that throwback saying from our days at that age, about not being able to trust people over 30? I was on my 2nd wedding's honeymoon on my 30th birthday, in Key West. At that time, I thought my 30th b'day was the best birthday ever! My songtrack then was, "Margaritaville," but it was replaced later by, "All My Exes Live in Texas."  ;D

Clynn, awww, it looks like Harley is in the middle of doing his Sun Salute yoga stretch this morning.  :-*  He's getting a big dose of love from his Mom.  :-*  And, LOL on Sophie's super-relaxed sleeping positions.  :D  I think Sam is looking at you and thinking, "Mommm!! Get Sophie's butt out of my face!!"  ;D ;) :-* :-*

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!   :D


Lani, thanks for the great pics and updates on the Royal Albies!  :)  I stay amazed at how calm those gentle giant Royal Albatross parents stay with "the hoomans" handling them and their eggs, babies, and nests.  Bless those wonderful "hoomans!"  :-* :-* :-*  Yeah... it wasn't a happy night last night here after the game...  ::)  I sure hope my Heels can pull it together before they host the Dookies on Saturday!! !! !! Major history between the 2 teams, of course, and since so long ago, as our two campuses are only a 12-minute drive apart... well, depending on the weight of the foot on the accelerator pedal.  ;)  GO HEELS!  :D

TSK, cocoa sounds good! Maybe I will make a cup, too - my bones are chilled for some reason today.  Yep, my only still-living "Ex" now lives in, you guessed it - Texas!!  8)

Karen, awww... great pic of Lucy, Cooper, and Max, on their way home with one of their new Forever Family members.  :) :-* :-*

E4E, I watched The Weather Channel this morning and saw the news of the next giant Pacific storm coming ashore soon in CA and the Pacific northwest. It's going to bring loads of precip, and very high winds and waves in places, too.  There will be feet of snow in some of the higher CA elevations, and it looks like loads of rain coming over a number of days for most all of CA, and beyond - drought-busting stuff, with hopes that it doesn't all come too fast, and I don't think it is expected to. So I hope that means you will be getting some nice rain for your area over the upcoming days.

Lisa, I bet your mom is counting down the days to Mardi Gras, and the next Miss Fischer gathering! Continued good wishes for her recovery to stay on pace.  It sounds like every one is back in the groove at your place.  :D

KB, glad you found the missing leash. Clynn has posted some beautiful pictures of places in Norway recently, and that has reminded me that you had expressed interest in my nephew's recent trip to Norway, staying in the town of Tromso, above the Arctic Circle, and his day trips and forays to even farther points north while he was there. Below, I attached a couple of pics he took of some yummy-looking meals he had while there...  The 1st meal pictured included Smoked cod and roe with creme fraiche, peppers and lingonberries. The 2nd meal pictured includes Whale and red wine sauce with lingonberry, potato salad, pickled onions and carrots. Both meals were in Tromso, Norway.

Baz - Thanks for those yummy looking pics.!
As I stated my ancestors are all from Norway.....just not quite that far north!
I grew up on lutefisk and lefsa....and, my grandma visited her home in Norway many times up into her 80's

I have a geneology paper with all their names and cities and when they left for america in 1865....

Pretty cool.

karen - Who is getting new puppies?  I might have missed you saying that.

tsk - If I am not mistaken, today is National Hot Chocolate Day.   Enjoy yours!  :D

baz - Funny you should mention Mardi Gras, when the surgeon came in before surgery Mama asks her...will I be able to go to Mardi Gras?  I rolled my eyes, and the surgeon tells her, yes as long as you are not jumping around for beads.   ::) ;D

Have a good night, everyone!

I might have to have a whole glass of wine first before I dug into those meals as beautiful as they looked.

Been busy for a few days. At least for me!   Got a hair cut yesterdat, bought some graphite for the  storm door lock , fixed that and srnt a package back thru Fed Ex!   Spent a lot of time on the phone with my neighbor who has ben talking to Mickey, my friend in Illinois about selling our houses and buying a lot on a lame where she just broke ground for a house!  This town is so small you cannot find it on the map and the only grocery store is Piggly Wiggly which  is in the  next town!  Mickey can go but I am not moving there!   The lake is very small and has alligator!   Lots are over priced at over 100,000!  The only businesses in town are a gas station and a Dollar General!
Today I washed and folded  clothes, washed hair, washed bathroom rugs, cleaned a little little and finally read the
 Beak!     Nothing exciting here!  Hoping those in the midwest and Alaska did not get a sun burn today!
This is the second time I have read the Amelia Earhart article  and I think it is her plane .   Time and a lot more money will tell!

Lisa, Mickey, my friend in Springfield, Il,  cousin is getting the puppies.  Supposed to be 6 pounds when full grown!   The breeder has them trained to hope in a crate at night as she says, kennel up!  Tgey run and jump in.  When Mickey met her to get the puppies, the breeder had a bichon
Frise .  It was out of the car and as they git ready ti leave she said something and the dog jumped in the car.  She then said passenger and it got right in the passenger seat! Too cute!  You would not need tie outs with this kind if training!
Well, I have. Driven thru a lot of of

the states on the list and I do not think Iowa is 50!  I do not agree with the list! 
Thanks for the eagle nest info and pictures, Clynn and Lori.   Bl, good deal on the Redwoods!   Lani, thanks  for the Royal Akbies report. Amazing how calm they are!   Phyl, thanks for reports!  Bazi, those dinners pictured were not in my Norwegian  grandmothers  dinner rotation!   She made. a wonderful Cherry Pie! 
Seds all.

Good evening Beakers!

Phyl - Hope Maggie is hangin' in and feeling okay.  How is Jim?
Lani - Amelia Earhart's mystery might be getting solved in the near future. ;)
Clynn - Awe, Harley looks so comfortable & happy! :)   Sam & Sophie are so cute napping together! :)   Liked the story & pic of the Bell building!   Love the beautiful picture of Decorah North E's!!
Kb - Happy you found Ollies's leash!!
Lori - Thanks for eagle info!
LisaG - My mom is doing alright - thank you for asking  :)   Is Misty back to her normal self with you? :)  I really think she missed you very much!
Karen - Cute puppies!!!  I too have been reading and listening to the news about Amelia Earhart and it sure does look like a plane!
Tsk - How are B & T doing these days? :)
Baz - So true about heavy rain being expected in our surrounding area for the next few days.  However, because we live in a 'valley' we do not get near as much rain as the Santa Cruz Mts., Big Sur area and other nearby towns.   We sure get the strong winds!!

Beakers have a good night - sleep well  :)

Karen, love the sweet puppies. The breeder is an excellent trainer too....  Goodness you're having a busy week.

Baz My goodness, I can't even remember my 30th birthday! I'm sure it was fun, since I love birthdays!!  ;D  "All My Exes Live in Texas."  ;D ... I know how you feel about Tarheels loss. We lost two games last week. Killed by 3-pointers. UGH!! Thank God the Chiefs won or else it would have been a total loss for me! I don't take losing a game very well.  :-[ Well, neither does Mike, we both hide in separate rooms for awhile.  :-X ... Aly lived in Norway for three years. I wonder if she ever tried whale?  ???

Lisa, it is amazing how trusting the albies are with the rangers. I love seeing the two nests close together compared to last season. Now, we can watch the two chicks visit and keep each other company. I didn't realize Mardi Gras was so soon. Lent starts early this year... I can't imagine your mama jumping for beads! But, then she is Miss Fisher's favorite fan. Miss Fisher would be jumping for beads and then some!!  8)

BL Thanks for Rutt update.

Eagles, Aly will be getting some of that rain that coming your way... It's a large front that I've been watching moving slowly over the Pacific.... hopefully, we'll get some moisture as it moves inward.... I'm hoping that is Amelia E. plane too.

Tsk, I know the Albatross letters for names can be confusing, they stand for the color of the 3 leg bands. I know there is a reason for the color bands. I hope the below information helps.  ;D

"Northern royal albatross banded at Taiaroa Head have a stainless steel band on the right leg and 1–3 coloured bands on the left leg.
There are exceptions to this, eg the opposite is the case for birds that are from the Chatham Islands.

The colours we use are: black, blue, green, lime, yellow, orange, red, white and pink.

We read the colour bands from the top down, for example, green on top and orange below would read as GO.

Except for black, record the colour by its first letter, for example, red = R. Black should be recorded as K to avoid confusion with B for blue."

PHYL  This group has ample representation in the "we understand" league.  We know, we care, and we pray for both of you, and for Maggie of course.  My Ashley still has her spot on the dinette table/chair.  I stroke her urn in the morn and at bedtime.  I know I should be better by now, but. . .

And then there's med issues we have to handle.  That ain't fun.  Mine is in regard to my cardiologist.  Fantastic care and help for 15 years.  He's retiring (for sure this time) he says in April.  How do I ever express the good feelings I have for him.  It's not what I'd like, but he has earned and deserves the change. He led the show in June and kept me going.  Not too any docs I'm sure would show up after midnight on a Fri/Sat night.  How ever can I say how much I thank him and appreciate him.

Puff, sounds like you have a doctor from the old school, what a blessing he was for you!

Phyl, you know you were really tired, you fell asleep in the Lazy Boy and woke up in the morning. Maggie was miffed, bless her little heart! Thanks for the 365, although I can't watch those like that... My first car was a 1962 Ford Fairlane. I got it for my 18th birthday, Dad paid $285 for it and it had a Vietnam sticker on the trunk. Column shift, which I had never drove before! Thanks for Amy's Blog, hoping for a great season for the  North's this year!

Lani, thanks for the info on the naming of the Albatross couples! Still confusing but they know what they are doing! Sweet picture of the little Top Flat chick with the foster parent...

BL, good music...

E4E, hope you don't get too much rain!

karen, sounds like you are doing more and more on your own! I think you are doing great!!

karen - Oh, I don't think you would be happy moving to that small town.  ;D  Thanks for the info on the pups. 

BL - Thanks for the tunes.

E4E - Yep, she is back to her old self.  Glad to hear your Mom has been doing good, too.

Lani - Yes, Mardi Gras is early this year, and I missed the date of having a King Cake shipped here!  I was going to get one at the grocery store by Mama's, but I knew it would have been dried out by the time I got back home.  Awww, Top Flat, so sweet. 

Phyl - Thanks for the RRP post.  How is Maggie doing, better now? 

Puff - I know how you feel about your doc retiring.  I have had the same PCP for the past 25 years, and he retired this past year.  Another doc took over his practice, then moved it 45 minutes away.  I just cannot get use to her.  I do need to find someone else.

I think one could show boobies without jumping up and down...  ::) ::)  I also know what you and Puff mean, my doctor of 20+ years left to teach and I am not so comfortable with the new one, and now she has a PA that is a bit on the brisk side...  Sigh!

GOOD MORNING BEAKERS

KAREN   Phew  Was a very busy day for you.   Few questions.  Whose land is it and where?  I think it is your neighbor's land?

EAGLES  B&T doing fine in Fl.  It has been a cold and damp January however. They've had to put their heat on for part of the day.

LANI    Thanks for that great explanation of the initials for names.  Cute little snuggle in that close-up  :)  Hope the good night kitty did not burn it's nose on the light bulb  ;)

PHYL   I just love stick dances  ;D.  Thanks for Amy's blog.  Love that wolf series 365

PUFF   Boy, nothing harder than giving up a good doc who knows you so well.  Hope he will recommend one who will tend to you like he did.

CLYNN  Love it when they paint the sides of buildings.  It only improves life for everyone.  Such a cute pic of you  ;D  I do remember that tent dress style.

tsk  Had much in common to talk about.  Appointments were always about 1/2 hour.  First he had to know where I had been.  Hope he treats himself and his wife, and family (?) to some fun travels.  He'd sometimes have his PA call and ask for materials about ?.  But he seldom got to take good length of time off.  Wanted to know what I would recommend.  I said he should streamline his routine, share the burden and time with others - just not my appointments ::)  It's interesting, too, that he wanted to know what to do about all the free time.  Some people never learn, never ask.  (Ton!)

He/We also always found time to talk about the veggie garden.  Got him started on that with suggestions and answers during spring and summer appts.

He was (is?) head of Good Samaritan cardiology.  Wanted to know how retirement hours should be handled.  He doesn't want to be bored.  I find too many retirees like to say they keep busy.  For those who have success and satisfaction in their careers you should not think of it that way.  You have to do more than keep busy.  You have to keep those successful feelings of achievement in what you then do.

One thing I definitely learned after last year is that I am not done.  I retired at 30 teaching in 1994; I started new adventures in 1993 as travel advisor.  As of 2024 I've now started again with ownership of my own travel business.  I'm goofy, I'm 80, but I'm not done?  I'll see what happens in the next year or two to see if I want to retire again.  ;D    8)

My schedule before was started at 6 a.m. to hit the expressway (strange term at that hour) to  drive into the city.  Now I start with my first cup of tea by 6.
 Already did a couple preps for later today.  Have a honey-do list (I make for myself) that I'll run short of time to finish.  There's always later.   ;D  I sound smug.  Sorry!  Not!!!!!

Well, that's a change. . .I left N1 and its low sunrise to come here and hog/post in the Beak.  Went back to check latest at N1 - it's covered in fog.

Made 40 by me yesterday; hoping for 50's today.

Paul Pluswik posts this sunset last night in Ely, MN
We have had some gorgeous ones as well.

Morning all.
Busy day for me.

BL - as my 86 year old neighbor would say: Yep, yep, yep....on Rutt being NW of Fertile, MN

Myself, I don't like painted buildings....a few may be phenomenal, but in general murals/tagging everywhere to me is disgusting.
No more disgusting however than our "Soviet Style" apartment buildings being built everywhere in the Twin Cities.
People have forgotten wheat beautiful architecture looks like...it is NOT soul destroying for the people who live in them, not live near them.

Yes, KB, I have remarked about our sunsets several times this week!

Root Beer Fizzies was my favorite as a child.

Here is my throwback pic (aged 2, 4, 5) ... I just happen to have a folder of old pics handy while working to declutter.

Happy eagle-watching Thursday!

{{{Tig}}} oh my gosh! adorable pics  :-*

Kb, love the sunset over Ely, MN Black Bear country!  :-*

Lisa Easter is going to be early this year, late March. I feel like spring is being rushed! LOL! .. so glad your mama is going slow and easy.  ;D

Clynn, Each Albatross is tagged with color bands so they can be clearly identified as to who, what, when & where they come from. That is how they can go back in their records with each Albatross to the early 1900's.... Love the painted buildings .... awww you're adorable! ... love the 60's dresses. They were an quick and easy pattern to sew. I could make one dress in a day... Heavy snow over Big Bear Eagles nest  :'( prayers to keep the eggs from freezing     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4-L2nfGcuE

{{{Puff}}} {{{Ashley}}} there's no better place for her to be  :-* I always see our pets urns everyday. No one knows but me.... Oh, how I understand how you feel about your special doctor retiring. Living in Salina, Kansas and then leaving behind the doctors/medical associates that we became close friends too was difficult. We don't have that same relationship here.

{{{Phyl, Miss Maggie and Jim}}} "Go Red!" ... classic Thursday Throwback pics  :). .... thanks for RRP update on The Norths! I pray this will be a successful season for them.

Mike should be landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor soon and be home this afternoon.  ;D
Have a great day everyone!

Prayers the snow stops over Big Bear Eagles nest.
Keep mama and the three eggs warm!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

PUFF  You have a wonderful relationship with your doc.   Think that is where Tim has gone astray.  No hobbies, no interest in volunteering or exercise,  Now even golf and fishing are less and of course only summer.  That's what makes us all different...Think we may have just hit 50...Bright and sunny and am loving it.

CLYNN   We haven't seen a 3 egg nest in a long time.  Thanks for the Big Bear update.   That wall painting is amazing!!!

TIG   Weren't you just a cutie - Love the devilish look in the 5 yr pic  ;D

LANI   Beautiful AM heart.  :)   Love all of Lynn's winter posts.  Such a variety of critters to watch.

Baz - Thanks for those yummy looking pics.!
As I stated my ancestors are all from Norway.....just not quite that far north!
I grew up on lutefisk and lefsa....and, my grandma visited her home in Norway many times up into her 80's

I have a geneology paper with all their names and cities and when they left for america in 1865....

Pretty cool.

He'll have to share his impression when he returns with us.

Is he Norwegian?

KB, I wondered about his cod meal, but it doesn't look like it was prepared the way lutefisk is. My nephew doesn't have any Norwegian family on his mother's side (my sister/my family), and, to my knowledge, he doesn't have any on his father's side. I might have to ask my sister about that to confirm about on his father's side (my sister's ex-husband). He, and his father's family, is tall though!   :)

Been busy for a few days. At least for me!   Got a hair cut yesterdat, bought some graphite for the  storm door lock , fixed that and srnt a package back thru Fed Ex!   Spent a lot of time on the phone with my neighbor who has ben talking to Mickey, my friend in Illinois about selling our houses and buying a lot on a lame where she just broke ground for a house!  This town is so small you cannot find it on the map and the only grocery store is Piggly Wiggly which  is in the  next town!  Mickey can go but I am not moving there!   The lake is very small and has alligator!   Lots are over priced at over 100,000!  The only businesses in town are a gas station and a Dollar General!
Today I washed and folded  clothes, washed hair, washed bathroom rugs, cleaned a little little and finally read the
 Beak!     Nothing exciting here!  Hoping those in the midwest and Alaska did not get a sun burn today!
This is the second time I have read the Amelia Earhart article  and I think it is her plane .   Time and a lot more money will tell!

Karen, you were very busy! Yay for getting your haircut, too! Okay, I need you to clarify for me... Do you mean Mickey is building a house on a small lake in a small town in Georgia? I thought you meant she is building in Illinois, till you said there's an alligator in that lake. So then I guessed it might be in Georgia. Is Mickey building it to be a vacation home for her in the south, or will she be moving there permanently when that house is finished, or is she building it on spec to sell? News2 wants to know.  ;) ;D  I agree with you about the plane! Based on what I have learned about it, and its location, and her flight plans at that time, it sure does beg the question, and there are no other plane crash incidents known for that location. Plus, her plane's tail configuration was not a common one, and it has the same shape as what the sonar view shows. But I think they said it is in 16,000 feet of water! I know that sonar images from deep water can so often fool the eye. It will be interesting to learn what they find if they ever get a deep water submersible to get closer to try to better identify what that is. It would be incredible if it turns out to be her plane!

Lisa, good to hear that Mom is taking it slow!  Jennifer (our RN) always told us that rushing recovery is probably the worst thing you can do!

Lani, beautiful Fisher, and in the Bear Study, lovely Mink and beautiful Fox! Mike coming home, I bet he will be glad to walk in the door!

tig, you were a cutie, well, I guess we all were back then! I often made a dress in one day, I was quite a seamstress until about 15 years ago!  I made 5 things in Home Ec class while most worked on one, and I always tried to help the others. It's just like most things, it was in my blood!

tsk, you're right, we haven't had a nest with 3 eggs since the last of Mom and Dad Decorah, the year Dad disappeared!

kb, you think painted murals on buildings are disgusting? Some aren't very good, but there are many that are beautiful!

Beautiful mural in Cincinnatti! They showcase their murals, you can even take a tour!  https://www.artworkscincinnati.org/public-art/murals/all-murals/

Clynn... my best recollection is my Mom made most, if not all, of my dresses in those days. I did not take home ec but my Mom enrolled me in a sewing class. She decided I should make a difficult outfit so I would learn all the skills: a corduroy culotte skirt with jacket and vest! I never sewed another thing...  >:(

Clynn - we have nothing beautiful like you showed....only graffiti....if you lived here and other places around the world you'd know...yes, that is disgusting.
Greece and Cyprus are known for it....beautiful countries destroyed.

Furthermore as I stated, Twin Cities are being destroyed with "Soviet Style" apartment complexes everywhere.

I love beauty....as should everyone...but, some apparently don't.

I loved all the throwback posts!!  :D  It's fun seeing them. Clynn, I remember Fizzzies - we thought they were so much fun, and of course we had to put one directly on our tongue! Oh wow, LOL!  ;D


I was lucky to get all my docs pretty early for preparing taxes this year, so I got my state and federal taxes electronically filed this morning. Woot!  Bring on the refund!  ;D

I'm thinking over my dinner options... so I'm reviewing the food pyramid below, and leaning toward the one on the right side.  ;D

kb, I have lived in MN and other places around the world, murals and graffiti are not the same thing. I don't care for the Soviet style apartment buildings either, is this what you are talking about? They are ugly, seems like trying to cram as many people in one building as possible. Great something to do with a dead tree!

tig, you sound like my sister Becky. She took Home Ec one year for some reason, made one frumpy dress and never wore it. She never wore dresses. She said her and Mom were in JC Penneys getting the fabric and everything and Mrs. Saxe, the Home Ec teacher was there too. Mom and Mrs. Saxe picked out the material.  She was also Mom's Home Ec teacher!

Clynn - yes that is the style of apartments that have gone up in my city almost non-stop...they take homes here in the hundreds for them..and then applaud themselves.
Murals here are ugly.
I'm sure you haven't been here recently to see the changes...nor in other countries.
I'm not denying their are some pretty murals...just not in the majority.

LORI   Pretty nasty there at Big Bear  :o.

PUFF    I heard on ABC that it got to 54 today, officially.  You were probably warmer further south.

BAZI   One on the right I vote for... ;) ;)

KB   Funny pencil  ;D  To be honest the murals Clynn posted in Minneapolis are not my favorites either... :o :o

Sunny day!   Maybes close to Puffs temp!
Love murals on buildings!  Graffiti , not so much!  Notes on bathroom walls like, call sos and so for a good time, not at all!   The first  murals I saw were in. MExico by Diego Rivera!   Kb, where in the world have you seen the ugly murals?    Some of the soviet style buildings would benefit  with a little art work! Maybe a tree, big nest  and some eagles! 

Got a ridiculous container of water delivered today!  Do  not even ask!  Has a spigot at the bottom!   Looked like a gallon on the website! 

Baz, I will try to explain!  Friend Mickey lives in a house on Lake Springfield in Central, Illinois!  They are building a room across the lakeside of the house!  They had a structure there on top of  the deck which was damaged in a storm!  They and their cat liked the room and the view of water, wildlife, etc so are building!   They do not like the cold and snow!

Jackie is my neighbor , across the street!  She bought two lots on a small lake in our county because they. Bought a boat!   Thought she might build a  boat house on this property!  Now, she is building a house there on the bigger of  the  two lots  which is also on the lake!  Her other lot is across the street and not on the lake!  Jackie wants to sell this smaller lot!

Bottom line, I am not moving to this location!   Not wild about lakes that are measured in acres And frequented by gators!   This location is very overpriced as well!

Lani, glad Mike is home or should be soon!
Tsk, I border on behaving like Tim!    No sports for me!
Lisa, glad thing are back to nirmal!   They shake a whole lot on the balconies, in NOLA!   The things one can see makes for very red
Cheeks!
Eagles. Keep your tootsies dry!  Phyl, thanks for all posts!

Puff Thank you for the words.   I quite understand about how you feel about Ashley.  Grief is a mystery and each person grieves differently from the other.   
 I keep Samantha, Mitch and Mike on  top the china hutch, keeping my mother company.  She loved them, too.
I know how you feel about your doc retiring my dentist has sold his practice to a younger partner. Doc will be leaveing two weeks after my appt in April. I'll miss that man. We had such fun with our names---he Phillip and me Phyllis. Then there's the last names.  ;D 

CLynn I so enjoy all your 'Peace' collection.  The pig-tailed barefoot girl on  house side is very interesting and creative as is the book shelves on the brick building.  The pizza mural looks tasty.  ;D   Cute 2yr old--looks familiar.  ;)  Sadly I don't remember 'Fizzies' but there's something flavored and fizzing that came in  striped colored straws---

Lisa Publix isn't taking orders on K. cakes instead they've  ordered and set them out. We may have missed the boat on cinnamon.  :(
Glad to here your mama is recovering nicely. Let the mystery cruise begin.  Boobies or 'our girls' jiggle naturally---Just go braless and flip that shirt up high.  Don't forget to smile.  ;)  LOL

Tsk when I was in Jr High I had a tent dress, sleeveless,  the  yoke came just above the  nipple line with a 'A' plet in the front middle. I hated it 'cuz it looked like a maternity dress.  ::)  I don't like the  last murals posted  in Minnie either.

CLynn many tks for Big Bear Bald Eagles - 3rd EGG!!! update and all.  Sweet brown bear cubs and coloful  houses in
Qaqortoq, Greenland

KB glad the Ollie-man found his leash. Super photo from Paul Pluswik in Ely MN  tks. Really creative tree stump.
 That's a prize winner if ever.

Oh Tig love thos snaps of you!   Esp the one in black velvet (?) with dotted Swiss sleeves and dress matching bows. Do you and Camper have plans to see 'Argyle' it opens tomorrow night. The adverts/trailer make it look like lots of 'fun' and excitement.  And, the kitty is played  by 'Chip the Cat' who belongs to Director Matthew Vaughn's  wife and daughter.  Hope it goes to DVD/BluRay.

Lani pretty 'Hello February'; I too hope for a successful season the Norths. St Christopher be with Mike. Maggie and I have been seeing Mike around the house going to and fro.  ???


Hi Bazi food pyramids  LOL

Lani -We have gotten a lot of rain of which we are grateful, but there are nearby areas that tend to flood, so not all good, but the great thing is, the rain fills the reservoirs and lakes.   A few years ago, we had such a drought that Lake San Antonio, CA was reduced to a mere puddle.  We got out of the drought last winter thanks to lots of rain!  Now, our lakes are full.  They filled Lake San Antonio with 5,000 lbs of trout a week or so ago!!
Glad Aly will receive rain too!!   That's great that Mike will be back home tonight!! :) :)

Phyl - Thank you for posting a reminder of this being American Heart month.   I think I know how special Maggie is to you & Jim - she is lucky to have such a loving household and plenty of TLC. :-*    Love the '57 Ford Fairlane!!  Retro Coca-Cola  ;D

Puff - I feel for you in your sadness for losing your Cardiologist to his retiring soon.   How about if you take a special gift (of whatever you think) along with a nice note to his medical office and drop it off for him?  This is just a suggestion based on your post asking what you can do for him. :)    Just read you started your own business - congratulations!  You are a busy girl!!

Clynn - What a nice story of how your Dad got you a Ford Fairlane for your 18th birthday!!   Love your cute, darling picture at age 2 :)  Like the tent dresses!!     Just read what you said to Lori!!  A third egg at Big Bear BE nest!!!! Awesome!!! :-* ;D

LisaG - Happy your Mom is already back to feeling like her old self!! :)

Tsk - Glad to know that B & T are doing well & fine in FL right now! :)

Kb - Beautiful MN sunset!

Tig - Cute, darling photos!!! :) :)

Lori - Thank you for the vid showing the 3 beautiful eggs at the Big Bear BE nest!!

Karen - Sound like a great idea your friend Mickey has in building a room across the lakeside of the house! Maybe after the room is built, you can go visit and enjoy the view of the Lake! :)    For now, rain has subsided, but more rain & showers are expected every day for the next 4 days or so!

Beakers have a nice evening - sleep well

Lori, thanks for Big Bear Eagle gifs... God bless mom/dad keep the snow off and keep egglets warm  :-*

Baz,I remembered Frizzies after you described it on your tongue.  ;D ... Good for you! Taxes done! .. food pyramid! LOL!

Kb, Pencil tree stump, very imaginative.  ;D

Clynn, love the bear family.... Greenland pic would make a great puzzle.

Karen, Enjoy reading your posts, thanks for sharing.... yes, Mike's home and in bed. Milo is sleeping next to him.

{{{Phyl, Jim and Miss Maggie}}} Sometimes the cats and Sadie are watching something I can't see. I agree with you, "grief is a mystery and each person grieves differently from the other." I could say more, but enough said.

{{{Puff}}}

Eagles, It's raining! And we may get a lot of it!  ;D Hopefully, it stops by morning so we can get our walk in and then rain again! Or snow!  ;D... We need to fill our reservoirs too, creeks and rivers for the critters. But, I pray it doesn't flood in your area.

Good night!

Lani, awww, Mike and Milo sleeping peacefully...did you just stand at the door and watch them for a minute?  Glad you are getting some much needed rain, I wonder if you and Sadie are on your walk as I post! Love the kitty paw good night! I made an appointment for the kittens first checkup, required before they are 'fixed'. I checked around after our regular vet quoted $529 and $609 for the spay/neuter, found better prices so I am changing vets. This one has excellent ratings and is much closer, like 4 blocks away! I will ask if they can clip Harley's claws without putting him out. Hopefully they have a way to do it.

E4E, I hope you get just enough rain to keep all the lakes and reservoirs full. I read somewhere that Lake Mead is slowly recovering!

Phyl,

BackYardChickens - Our sweet hens are little confused where they’re supposed to lay… we lowered the hood thinking it would solve the issue. Betty here is quite determined.
Now to find where the others have layed their eggs.

HI EVERYONE

37 heading to 41  cloudy.

KAREN   Thanks for the clarification.   Think you are right about staying put LOL  Mickey should enjoy that extra room with a view.

PHYL   Red for the month of February.  ;D   Thanks for the reminder on Groundhog day  LOL.    Such striking color on the fox 365

CLYNN  Happy you found better vet prices for these two kids.  Being closer is a plus.  ;D   Was it Lake Mead that they found all sorts of "junk" at the bottom??   When we got Lulu and found she would not allow us to trim her nails, she was a noodle in the arms of the vet techs!!  Now we give her a gabapentin in her food - not an easy task mind you as she smells it and won't eat - she gets enough where hours later she is tired and we can get it done - We do this every 3 weeks.  A lot cheaper than the vet and boy those nails go right through jeans.   Engine with the eggs - crazy  :o

LANI   You have the eye for a good puzzle - Greenland - Right ;)   Beautiful good night photo.  Says a lot.

Post by: clynndunn on February 02, 2024, 07:24:53 AM

tsk, thank you for sharing your nail clipping experiences! I am definitely going to ask the vet when the little ones have their check-ups next week! I think I could get Harley to eat drug tainted food if it in hidden in the Kitten food!  Yes, it was Lake Mead, they found 5 bodies/skeletons and numerous other items, I think it was in 2022.

FYI, on the website Jigsaw Planet you can make a puzzle out of any picture! You just click on it from a picture on your computer.  https://www.jigsawplanet.com/

Danny Green Photography  ·  I have just got back from a trip to Yellowstone which is a location I have been going to for many years now. I always look forward to going as it is one of the best places to see and photograph Wolves. Even so they are not easy and you do need a vast amount of luck to be on your side. Around 50% of the Wolves in Yellowstone are Black and although I have seen them many times I have always felt I haven't managed a good photo of one. That changed on this trip as we came across a pack called the Wapiti pack and most of its members are black. It was an amazing encounter with this pack as usually a wolf sighting lasts a few minutes but on this day we spent most of the day with them.

baz - News2 wants to know  ;D  I hope you went with the pepperoni food pyramid. 

clynn - The nurse told Mama the same thing that Jennifer said, rushing recovery is probably the worst thing you can do!  What a colorful lil town Qaqortoq, Greenland is.

tig - I literally LOL at your comment about sewing.  Mama sent me to lesson too.  I have never sewed another thing, except a button on. 

Lori - Thank you for Big Bear pic, video and gifs.

kb - Very cool and clever tree pencil. 

karen - Yes, those balconies in NOLA are something else!  ;D

Phyl - Look what arrived for me yesterday by UPS.  :D One of my Decorah friends, that lives in Chattanooga sent it to me.  She is the one that shops at Publix, that I sometime mention.

I booted this machine up and can you imagine my  great surprise to see I had already posted for this morning!!  :o
"What! Huh?" I thought. Then it 'dawned' on me---last night instead of hitting 'preview' so I could save it for set up this morning,  I hit 'post' key.  ::) ::)  Well I got a
couple of good chuckles out of it.
Which I need as I often have weeping spells when I look at Maggie, my sweet baby.    Yesterday was bad as
I couldn't do my chores for wiping my eyes (no my mascara is tear proof so is eyeliner) and blowing my nose...
Last night, I was so tired and eager to get to bed 'early' that I didn't  even finish it for this morning. And, we all know Nature 365 isn't updated that early the next day.
Soooooo...

CLynn  'Pixy Stix' thanks . Yes. That's what I was thinking of yesterday. Awesome blk wolf in Yellowstone by Danny Green.
such an'odd' place to lay ones future chicks. Wonder what the logic was going on?  Oh, wait...LOL


Tsk Yes. 'Red' for February as it's AHA's Heart Month campaign and Valentine's Day. Which Jim never celebrates, BTW.
On subject of clipping kitty claws : We put on vinyl exam gloves out of sight of the cats-- I just have Jim gently pick the cats up one at a time and
carry them into hall bathroom and set them in the clean basin while holding them and I quickly clip the front paws only.  The back are need for defense
Maggie's so up in years her claws aren't that sharp anymore.

Lani Yes. Your 'Good Night' image says so much!  It brought tears to me again yesterday.

Lisa  good deal on the King Cake. Maybe they still have cinnamon and Jim can get us one. I'll have to call him.


It's Friday and time for  a fancy dress .

BL ;D

Lisa, what a wonderful friend you have! Your wish was answered.  ;D

Tsk and Clynn, the beautiful photo of the lone wolf watching from the tall trees would make a great puzzle. It would be a difficult one.

Clynn We had a nice gentle rain throughout the night. So we left for our morning walk when there was a break in the weather, 15 minutes later it started to sprinkle, then hail, then sleet and we continued on... came home an hour later...  drenched by it felt good.  ;D ... I gave Sadie a good rubdown with a towel, fed her and made me a nice hot bowl of oatmeal with honey... Glad you found a cheaper vet for the furry family and closer to you too. That's a ridiculous cost, it's about that here too. I remember when it didn't cost that much... why would a chicken want to lay their eggs under a car hood.  ??? Nothing cozy about a that place.... oh my, eerie discoveries in Lake Mead  :-\

Bought a boat!   Thought she might build a  boat house on this property!  Now, she is building a house there on the bigger of  the  two lots  which is also on the lake!  Her other lot is across the street and not on the lake!  Jackie wants to sell this smaller lot!

Bottom line, I am not moving to this location!   Not wild about lakes that are measured in acres And frequented by gators!   This location is very overpriced as well!

Lani, glad Mike is home or should be soon!
Tsk, I border on behaving like Tim!    No sports for me!
Lisa, glad thing are back to nirmal!   They shake a whole lot on the balconies, in NOLA!   The things one can see makes for very red
Cheeks!
Eagles. Keep your tootsies dry!  Phyl, thanks for all posts!

Karen, thanks for the additional info.  :)  I understand now that Mickey is building a room on her existing house facing the water for that great view. But you said they don't like the cold and snow, so that made me wonder if they are also building a home in the South - in Georgia?? At the same lake where Jackie is building??  ;)

Lani, LOL, remembering the Fizzies on the tongue!  Do you also remember Pop Rocks? They came after Fizzies. We would pour some Pop Rocks on our tongues and close our mouths, and they would "explode." LOL!  I have your game set to record tomorrow afternoon, before my game. I will be watching your Jayhawks off and on, and will be nervously watching every second of my Heels v. the Dookies.

CLYNN   That is a cool website but to be honest I cannot sit at a computer any more than I already do  LOL
I enjoy manually holding pieces and listening to TV or music or the like.  It is very relaxing to me.   I have 12 containers of sorted pieces right now for the 1,000 piece I am doing . Very challenging but I love it.  It'll be 2 weeks Monday that I started it.  Took 2 sessions just to get the border up  LOL  Coincidentally it is a wolf puzzle  ;D  Mine are not black  ;)

LISA   As a child I used to darn socks - Mom taught me...Now socks are just tossed.... :-\    What a wonderful friend you have.  Was it a surprise??

(((PHYL)))     I'm hoping as Lulu ages her nails will no longer be needles  :o  She's 2 yrs 3 months now.  A ways to go I think.    I'd call that a "candy cane" dress.  ;)

LANI   I scroll down and always laugh when I see a dressed dog come into focus.  So funny   Seems like we just took down Xmas at church and in 1 1/2  weeks Lent goes up and the Food drive starts on Wednesday 14th  :o

Read an article on archaeologists finds in North Eastern Germany dating back 45,000 years when the area was like Siberia in climate.   The previous thought was neanderthals were the norm but the remains found were homo sapiensamke!   They also found horses, rhinos and reindeer remains!  Think this group Spread  over nothern Europe.   Never know what you might find whike digging in your back yard !

karengramke  Does that mean when I dig to turn over the veggie garden in the spring that I could find gold???

CLYNN    I do remember those candy cigarettes.  I think Mom cringed when we spent our nickel on those.  I didn't do that often as I like my Nancy and Sluggo comic book instead.  Nowadays they have these "graphic" comic books" which are really different.   Oh my gosh - that little Sophie is so cute.    ;D ;D

BL thanks for the 'guys' Chuck & Phil weather verdict.  "Groundpig' and 'Land Beaver' are new terms to me. Today it was 70F  and I had to turn the A/C on for a bit.  I hate
'mowing season'.  :) Y'all have a good Friday night.

Karen Nope. Not gonna watch 'Groundhog Day'. I recall the same article on the burial


OMG! Lani your hound dressed like 'The Snoop Dogg' is a hoot! Thanks for the chuckles.  ;) I will concur about the year
 rushing by.


Tsk  I hope your Lulu has a long life and her claws age faster. I'd say you are right on the dress being a 'candy cane' dress. I saw it and thought of  a 'candy stripper'  uniformed nurse's aide and Christmas.


CLynn  My dad loved the Sugar Babies-it was the caramel.  Loved the Chicklets and candy cigs.  I recall the same article about the find in Germany in a, I believe,  Live Science newsletter. I kept it for a bit. It's rare but cats do stand on their hind paws. Awww little Sophie the world is new and a fascination.

Lisa Jim's store has the cinnamon and he brought one home. Won't open it as yet so as not to dry out before we want to enjoy it. Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday is but 11 days a way.

Puff No. The odds are you won't find hoards of ancient gold coins and jewellery when you dig up your veggie garden. LOL  ;) ;)

Bazi  "I ain't nothin' but a groundhog---lyin' all the time"  Cute and funny at the same time.

Busy day here today - new bed arrived this morning - only took 15 minutes to bring it in and set it up and take the old one with them.  We had purchased new sheets 2 days ago, but forgot that we had no blankets that would fit (went from Queen to King)  So spent the afternoon looking for blankets...

We had a high of 54 yesterday with the sun out, but today no sun, so only a high of 38... gradual warming over the next 10 days - a high of 60 forecast for next Wed and Thur.  Most of our 2 ft. of snow is gone already - only the piles from snow removal left.

I have seen cats watch a printer work and then grab the paper and tear it to pieces...  ::)

Clynn, LOLOL! Yes, that heathen dog looks to be a girl.  :D  Perhaps she is Snoop Dogg in a parallel universe!  ;D ;D Sophie is a hoot! What a great picture of her standing straight up on her hind legs for so long, and her investigative pose next to it. Great catch! She's going to be a real character. Sam and Sophie are great additions to your family and household.  :) :-* :-*  I remember all those candies you pictured! Yep, we ate those candy necklaces without a thought, no matter how old they were, or where all they had been tossed before. LOL! Sugar Babies were one of my first choices at the movie theater, along with Milk Duds, which I don't dare eat now - I want to keep as many teeth as long as I can!  ;D  Oh, the national news tonight - I can't remember if it was ABC or NBC (I saw both tonight) - did a brief story on that archealogical find in Germany that Karen posted about earlier, and that you are wanting the article for. It's a pretty big deal in that subject matter. Very interesting!

Lisa, I saw your King Cake post earlier today. So nice of your friend! Your post made me mentally add it to my grocery list before I went shopping today... that was my first mistake - I only mentally added it to my list.  Yep, that corner shelf of my mind never floated up to the top while I was in the store. Shoot.  ::)

I forgot now who asked earlier... maybe it was TSK? regarding which food pyramid I chose dinner from last night. LOL... the one on the right was calling me big time! But I decided to pass, and will wait and maybe choose that option for Super Bowl day instead.  ;) :D

TSK, yep, I agree with you - it seems I went straight from Christmas to Groundhog Day, and completely bypassed January! The time, the time.



I walked 41 minutes this afternoon. I re-visited the cypress swamp kayak launch. I had the funniest encounter with a pretty big flock of Canada Geese when I walked down the trail toward those woods, and past the geese by a retention pond. I'll have to see if I can describe it sometime. But I don't think I could do it justice. It probably was something you just had to be there to see and appreciate. Even the 11 Mallard ducks (5 hens and 6 drakes) came swimming over just as fast as their little legs could paddle to see what the what?!? LOL!! LOL!! When I walked back by there from the kayak launch, the Mallards were all calmly gliding back to their earlier location in the pond, as if the geese had told them, "Get along now. Nothing to see here." I'm still chuckling over it!  :D

I had a late scrambled egg breakfast this morning, shared with Zippo, and a small non-fat yogurt after grocery shopping. I was hungry when I got home from my walk. Dinner was a big bowl of Organic Girl mixed baby Super Greens, chopped a la Clynn-style :D tossed with sliced raw baby carrots and the last of my homemade EVOO and Balsamic vinegar dressing (loaded with spices and herbs), and topped with fresh broccoli crown sections I roasted, and two, count 'em - two! yummy baked lobster cakes sprinkled with Old Bay, and then drizzled over with a Remoulade... with a glash of pinot grigio. Ahhh...  :)

Oh, back now to reading the rest of the posts... LOL, I got sidetracked.  :D

Tsk, I love to do puzzles manually too.... I hate to tell you, Norman is 10 and his nails still feel like needles. Norman likes to reach up for me with his claws. That is what he considers his love pat.  :-\

Clynn, my Snoop Dogg is not a heathen, or a wife beater and yes she is a girl and just a dog, being thankful it's Friday! ::)..... Sophie looks adorable with those cute back paws.... Norman likes to watch the printer... I had sugar babies at the movies. Shared my candy cigs and chiclets with my sis/bro.... Never liked necklace candy, but my girls did.

Puff, Are you getting a medal detector?  ;D oh, I see Tsk asked the same question.

Phyl, glad Jim was able to bring a cinnamon King's cake home. prayers sent for {{{Miss Maggie}}}

Oldguy, You'll like the King size bed....  thanks for the volcanos update  :( . .. Now I know Zoom's story... Love Frances's story, I think she rescued the guy too... Maru, Miri  ;D

Owlkitty is a movie star.  Got a entire career.  I'd say I'll watch for any black kitty in a movie from here on out!  Thing is - I don't do movies, while maybe once every ten years.   :o

And by the way, I don't do digging either.  I was teasing about trying to find gold in the yard.  I used to overturn the soil, for a long time.  They took away my shovel; they also took away my lawn mower; they also took away my ladders.  Alas the perils of getting old.  There's no gold I'm sure.  All I would get if my neighbors saw me out there is a lecture.  No, no digging allowed.  Now I have to give $$$$ for someone to rototill.

Phyl, 'furballs have zero mass' LOLOL! Beautiful 365! And the morning cat licking the screen!  Love it! Those cat videos!Lizzie Owlkitty is beautiful!

Lani, oops, I didn't realize that was the real Snoop Dog! I am used to the nuns and holy men, I assumed the dog was a heathen! I actually like Snoop Dog, and love that he is besties with Martha Stewart! Glad to hear that you got some good rain.

E4E, funny how we all remember the candy cigarettes! They are probably banned now.  ;D

BL, Sophie is the very curious kitten, I bet I get a lot of good pictures of her doing funny things! They are just like Talon and Bella. Talon is quiet, studious and Bella is the wild one!

baz, love your description of the gees/duck encounters! If I have scrambled eggs in the morning I have to share with Sam and Sophie! They are food hounds, always starving!

oldguy, thanks for the updates on Hawaii and Iceland...not great news. Still reading/watching all the good links!

Puff, yes, now we get lectures...  ;D  And we are the ones that used to give them!

Reykjavik, Iceland

tsk - I wonder if Groundhog Day being on a loop was a nod to the movie..LOL

Phyl - Yay, you got your King Cake, too.  Hope you can hold out till Mardi Gras Day without eating it.  I know I would not be able to.  :D  Thanks for the 365. 

oldguy - Congrats on your new bed, I hope you slept well.  Thanks for the videos. 

baz - I need your will power, when it comes to food!  Your meals sounded wonderful, especially the lobster cakes.  Jeff would love those. 

E4E - Reading your comments to Lani about the flooding.  So glad you did not get all of that.

Puff - Morning  :)

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

PHYL   I do remember candy stripers and nurses who wore uniforms and hats... ::)

OLDGUY  Hope you are trying some of those new bamboo sheets  :o  ;)    Thanks for updates on Iceland and new info on Kilauea volcanos  :(       Great duet for Bellamy and Colt     Santi and Zoom - Hope that develops into more touching even without food.   Boy, Claire's Lulu will eat anything  ;D   Frances  :-*  Who saved who?

BAZI   Perfect healthy dinner  ;D  Gosh, have said it before . I would love the walking opportunities you have.

EAGLES   This is nail cutting day and she still has not touched her food!!!  Guess I wait til she is starving  ::)

LANI   My only hope then is that Lulu knows nail cutting won't kill her and we can eventually stop with the med.  :-\
You are a very loyal dog walker  ;D  But as Mom used to say " Rain is good for your hair.  It makes it soft"  ;) ;)

PHYL   " The box exists and doesn't exist at the same time"  LOLOL   Was not familiar with the famous owl kitty   The two Pinterest pieces were good - I like the "weaver"

CLYNN   Cat has her ticket - Let's go!

Hi Beakers, I have been putting this off, but here goes...
update on my Grandma's... Grandma Luetta is doing ok, she has covid again but no symptoms. Still hanging in there.  My Grandma Helen fell and broke her femur and pelvis. They did surgery Sunday morning even though she has covid. She pulled through ok and sent her back to assisted living and as of yesterday her oxygen level is was very low and she has pneumonia in one lung and she is not eating and very confused. I should know more soon... Just asking for comforting prayers and that's about it.  :-\  Thank you for your support and prayers and messages, you guys are the best!!
Back to Eagles and cats!!! Have a Beautiful day everyone!!! Take care  ;) Love the caturday stuff oh yea and Valentines is coming up! Destini says meow!  :-*

Happy Caturday! 

CLynn,  great picture of Sophie!  As BL  said, siamese smikes! Cats are more curious than dogs!   As a general rule, I think!
Phyl, I would love to keep the fox in the morning picture!    We would both end up in jail!

Laurie, sorry about your Grandmother, Helen!   Hope they are able to get her up , at least sitting . Make sure she keeps current on available vaccines!   Thanks for the lovely donuts!

Lisa, great surprise present for you!  My favorites are the cream cheese filled or the  Bavarian cream!   will not buy one as I would eat the whole thing!  Unlike some here, I  do not have the will power!

Stay dry in the flooding areas!  When it rains it pours

Willi had advice for dog owners who were unable to cut toe nails without drugs!  She said play with and rub the feet   I had told this to Mickey who was having trouble with her cat!  She followed Willis suggestion  and  it worked for her!  When I complained about Piper, she reminded me of this, so, just  passing  along a reminder!
Baz, I am going to hire you as a chef and trainer!
Puff, do not know if there is gold in your garden i or the remains of an ancient civilization

KAREN   Interestingly Lulu will easily let me rub and play with her feet.  I think it's the being held down that is what she doesn't like...She's really good after the Gabapentin  LOL  Maybe she will get used to it and we can try to pick her up mid nap when she isn't so frisky.   The thought of anything blooming here is so funny...Hope they all bloom - red buds are pretty.

T40   Giant cat attack  LOL.  Those were some funny cat quickies in there.  ;D   There's the famous owl kitty I had never heard of...I remember that George Clooney bit. :)   Dog watching TV was really good.     '78  a good year  ;)    " Where's the front door"  ;D ;D

LISA   I did not pick up that series  "The Way Home".  :(  From the previews I did not think it was something I would like.

CLynn luv your "Peace' kitties today. Reykjavik, Iceland---OMG! How frightful. My #1 Big Bro, Larry was stationed there  in 1970's while
enlisted in USAF. He always got the remote tours. At the time the original 'Star  Trek' was immensely  popular with enlistees/commissioned alike.
How funny cat holding up the 'train' in UK.

Lisa Bandit looks comfy warm in his red scarf.  ;)

Tsk LOL your Caturday kitty w/ scrunchy face. Yes. Make Lulu wait till she's so hungry that she'll eat any thing. OR get some cooked liver and sprinkle or dropper the meds in that. Don't know a cat that wont eat that disgusting meat.

{{Lori}} darling Caturday montage. I'm so sorry about your 'Grannies' .  {{{Luetta and Helen}}}  :-* :-*     🙏 's   🙏 's


Hi Tig

Lani
Sweet kitties sleeping in heart formation


Karen  fox in 365 this AM---you and me both. Willie had a spot on idea for clipping nails.  :-*
Jim's Goldfinch pair are back from winter retreat scarfing up the Niger.  The bluebirds are back in the nesting boxes---maybe doing some annual 'house hunting'.

Lani - Read what you said about the candy necklaces, and I did not like them either - I liked the other stuff mentioned!  Although we are not flooded, there are surrounding areas that have gotten a flood advisory.  We are getting rain right now and it will go all night.
Phyl - You, Jim & Maggie have a nice, peaceful night. :-*
Clynn - you are probably right about the candy cigarettes are probably banned now!
LisaG - Thank you, no flooding here, but there is so much of that all around our area.
Tsk - I hope you were able to trim Lulu's nails today!  Hope the weather cooperated with you and you were able to go for a walk. 8)
Lori - Nice to hear that your Grandma Luetta is doing okay, and hope she feels better soon from having covid.   So sorry for your Grandma Helen taking such a terrible fall.  I pray she is as comfortable as can be and prayers for a complete healing.  Prayers for her doctors to monitor her pneumonia and oxygen.  Prayers and hugs for you & your Grandmas.
Tig - Nice that David's son is a good helper with his techy skills!

karen I remember willi's advice.

Thanks T40 giant cat attack!  ;D .. oh my, that dog with toy watching tv. so cute!

E4E Went to bed with thoughts of the bad day ahead for you and your neighbors.  So far this morning it doesn't seem to be as extended over the west coast as predicted.  Prayers that you get enough of the precipitation needed but not into flood stages.  It's nice to get an early morning greeting from you from the night before.  My 5 or 6 waking times  would mean that you would have to be bright eyed and eager at 3???  Never mind that plan!

It's also worrisome to follow your days happenings Lori.  Looks like Luetta is on a positive track.  Prayers for sure for both - watching for good news for Helen.

Lani, love the kitty toe beans! Hope Mike is relaxing, is he home for this week?

E4E, hoping the rain doesn't cause problems for you!

Phyl, I remember Star Trek being one of the shows we had to watch!  The Sonny & Cher show was another one on my 'must see' list.  Mash, SNL, I love Hogan's Heroes!  I'll have to try that disgusting cooked liver on Harley, he is so dang picky. Wonder if I can get someone else to cook it, I remember Mom cooking it. YUK!  ;D Glad to hear that your bluebirds are showing up!

Lisa, I have several 'rerun' tv shows that I have been addicted to! I watch them until I finally have seen all of them at least once then look for something else... I have Murder She Wrote all memorized!  The latest was Bones. And I love Matlock and Columbo!

T40, thanks for all the good videos!

tsk, so what did you get done yesterday? There must be something!  LOLOL!

kb, I would bet that there are many in MN that are disappointed with so little snow so far ...

Lori, prayers for your Grandmas...

Good Morning, early birds!   Sunrise due 30 minutes ago but still on the dark side!  Rain in south Florida  but did not think we were getting any.  Have a cook down until the weekend!  Piper got us up too early and is now back to sleep!
Old Guy, hope you slept wellon the new bed!   Is it adjustable?   
Puff, are you up early and outside digging before the neighbors can see you?  Good luck!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

33 heading to 41

BL    Sorry - Fox laughing required sign up  :(

PHYL    Actually the med is the powder from the Gabapentin pill which I break open and put at the bottom of a tiny bit of wet food.   After a few hours, if she still won't eat we put a few treats on top and that does the trick.  ;) ;)

EAGLES   The ground is crying Amen to the rain.  ;)   By the time I was ready to walk the sun was gone and temp was 36 degrees...sigh.

LANI   Picked Lulu up from a deep sleep and she was a noodle. -Got it done and she went back to sleep somewhere.  LOL    Pink kitty paws.  :D

CLYNN   " This is a slow peaceful road"  I love that.   I would add Diagnosis Murder to your list which is also mine.  LOL
Quiet day - some laundry, other household tasks and at church in the later PM taking down the "red" altar additions (for two Confirmation masses yesterday)  before 5 PM mass started.

Checked tge weather and we do have rain in the forecast all day!   Lol!  No wonder it is still dark!
That quiet road is very nice!  I watched Perry Mason the other day.  Where do you find Columbo?   Miss that crumpled rain coat!   Loved the candy cigarets!   Chocolate!  Not a fan of the other candies!  Prefer  ice cream, poes, cakes, gooey pastries!   
I used to make Rumaki and eat a lot of them!  Thinking back it was cholesterol and sodium on a. Toothpick!    Clynn, you can perhaps fing cooked chicken livers at a takeout place or try liverwurst!

CLynn  'Columbo' is my all time fave crime show. It was on when I was in high school. Part of NBC's Sunday Mystery Movie.

Tsk cute Lady Bug t his morning, sounds like an easy med time with Lulu

Karen     My mom and I used to watch 'Perry Mason' together.    Your comment  to Puff, I had to chuckle. Hope that's okay

Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats;

karen - I have not made my own red beans & rice in years, cause I love Popeye's red beans & rice.  They are so good.

tsk - I passed on the season too, but then I watched the first episode on NY day, and I was hooked.  A very good show, and cast. 

Phyl - Beautiful white kitty in your good night pic.  Thanks for the 365.

E4E - Hope you got just enough rain that you needed.  We are sunny today, so hopefully that should dry up our yard from the snow and then rain we have had. 

Lani - Aww, look at those toe beans.  :)

Puff - Morning  :D

clynn - That is me with Reba and Golden Girls.   ;D  Thanks for the SWFL pics.

Eagles, I've been watching the weather forecast for you. I pray you, Kris and all are dry and safe. We've had the PGA Pebble Beach Pro Am on since Friday. Today, the skies look dark and rainy.

Baz, what a great game last night for your Tarheels! Jayhawks had a good one too! Thank God!!  ;D

Clynn, Mike's been working most of the weekend. So far he plans to work out of his home office this week. He is tired from all this traveling, and taking more cat naps sitting in his chair. I don't know how he can do that. My neck would be sore... Ick I hate liver, never cooked it, so my girls have been deprived of having to eat it. Why don't you get Harley a can of baby food liver and see if he likes that.... cute pics of SWFL pics. Great pics of SWFL mom/dad, very serious glare.

BL, sorry I couldn't open.

Puff, Tsk, Kb, Tig, Oldguy, have a good day  :)

Phyl, beautiful Peregrine Falcon, love the cry at the end...

Lisa, red beans/rice yummm!!!

Royal Albatross cam
2/3 TFT chick fostered to the TF nest with LGL

Ranger Colin weighed both chicks this morning & TF chick weighed over 800g. BOK's chick needs a feed & switching with TF chick temporarily will achieve this naturally.

LGL has fed TFT chick twice so far.

Albatross ~ Ranger Colin Swaps The Chicks Into Each Other's Nest! LGL Feeds TFT Immediately 2.3.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKbM5HBesZ0

Feb 3, 2024
Ranger Colin takes TF (Top Flat) and TFT (Top Flat Track) chick weights. He then returns in about an hour and he swaps the chicks into each others nests.The younger chick TFT went to LGL and LGL's chick TF, went to BOK's nest. The reason for this swap is BOK's chick needs to be fed this morning and she seems to be depleted of food so the two chicks have been switched temporarily to achieve this feeding naturally. Right after Colin departed, Mama LGL began to feed TFT chick and gave a good feeding to her foster chick!! Well done LGL! Thank you for watching!

No  karen  I wait until the sun is bright enough to have someone notice there's a body on the ground. ::)

Seriously -  I learned and got smart a couple years back.  I do follow at least 90% of the caveats.  Take breaks, no ladders, have checks for when I have to $$$ get help, put a phone in my pocket, follow the 2 hour (?) limit doc gave me, be on the patio chair or back inside by noon.

Dang - I guess I never would have struck it rich anyway.

KAREN   I find Colombo occasionally on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries.. Jessica Fletcher is also on HMM.  Perry Mason was a regular on a cable channel we don't get any more.  They used to run Columbo as well

PHYL  Beautiful cakes  :)   Perry Mason was a favorite with our family as well.  Mom and I would compete to see "who did it".  She usually won  LOL

BL   Who knew foxes laughed and loved belly rubs  So cute  ;D

LANI   You are going to do me in with these religiously garbed dogs - hysterical.  And to have them pose - ROTFL
Same here with liver - Mom cooked it for Dad and my brothers and I would gag!  I had it once cooked in bacon grease with onions and bacon which made it tolerable - That was it...Mike puts in long hours and long work weeks.  Glad he is home this week. :-*   Moving those chicks around is something else but good as they get fed naturally.  Gotta love those rangers.

MICH-PIP   Good to see you and glad to see you have been enjoying these foxes for a while now.  Thanks for the link to a good belly laugh.

BL  Thanks - I was just about to turn it on for my Puzzling backround  LOL

Mich-Pip, BL, I was a few videos of Save a Fox. Love the gal that runs the rescue. Beautiful foxes of many different colors of fur. And the sounds they make, are adorable. My cat Norman was watching along with me.

Tsk, My mother loved liver/onions/lima beans fried together. Terrible, just terrible. I gag just thinking about it. I love onions, but hate liver and lima beans. My MIL tried to get me to eat liver with bacon/onions. It was okay.. then she made lima beans in a creamy sauce. ugh!

Hi Lisa, I hope Bradley, Kelly & Sydney are well.  :)

{{{SED Phyl, Miss Maggie and Jim}}} beautiful good night valentine tree.

Tig, prayers for Chili.  ???

{{{ Karen and Piper}}} keep safe from snakes and stormy weather.

Eagles, Lindy, Weasel, CA beakers and family, I'm worrying. I pray everyone is dry and safe.  🙏🏼

Lani - We have been getting lots of rain over this weekend.  Are you getting lots too?   My mom has been glued to watched the ProAm golf in Pebble Beach on TV, but I don't think too much was going on today with all the rain - the news mentioned that golf will continue tomorrow.      Glad that Mike is working from his home office. :)
Puff - We had some damage from yesterday and last night's storm and more rain today; but there are others who have way more going on than we do. Thank you for your good thoughts. :-*     Lol! You have a good sense of humor!
Clynn - Cute SWFL pic, I had their live cam up today for awhile! ;D 
Karen - That is so funny that Piper got you up so early and then went back to sleep! ;D  You are having rain too, but glad sun is peeking through a lil bit! I have been sleeping in a little longer with all the rain and how the mornings are still dark.
Tsk - Yaay! You got Lulu's nails trimmed! :)
Phyl - My favorite all-time crime show was 'Columbo' too!!
Hi Kb!
LisaG - Glad for the sun and warmth to help dry up the snow. :)
Tig - Our nice canvas shelter for our vw bus was torn to shreds overnight with rain and winds gusting 50-70mph, and yard decorations got blown around our back yard. Nothing serious here - we are lucky!
BL - Yes we have had LOTS!!  Thanks for posting the map. :)  Roads are closed with flooding and some roads are closed for dangers of mudslides.
Lori - Still sending good thoughts & prayers for your Grandmas - especially your Grandma Helen.  Hope her doctors are making sure she is not in a lot of discomfort and that they help her recover as soon as possible.
OG - If you played cards last night - hope you did well! ;)

Beakers have a good night  :)

E4E  If you get the chance - Please keep in touch.  There will be quite a few of us here wanting to know that you're doing OK.

Sweet little bear feeling safe and comfortable.  Awwwww   ;D

Mom loved her liver/onions.  There were  6 of us in family; she was the only one who even wanted to smell it.  Somewhere along the way she finally gave up trying to convert us.  BUT  While teaching, one of the lunchroom ladies got me.  I can't explain it or describe it, but she knew what the heck to do with it.  I'd stop for my tea in the morning and she'd let me know what was on the menu.  She also gave me the ingredients/techniques to make it.  It was not chewy or tough and had such a yummy different taste.  I tried, I really tried a couple of times.  Nada!  Then alas she got transferred to another school.  I don't even think about it any more until y'all mentioned it here.

Phyl, very interesting article on Amelia Earhart and the Coconut crabs! They are big and they are beautiful! Amelia's disappearance is such a mystery!  Wow on how skillfully the sandpipers avoid the hunting falcon in the 365!

E4E, wicked weather you are having! Praying that you and all your family stay safe...

Lani, I can feel you gagging on the liver, onions and lima beans... Poor lima beans, I love lima beans! That noise, I remember that noise coming from Jewel's bear cam and wondering what in the world that noise was! you explained that it was the cubs noise, it did sound like a flooded engine! Columbo!

HI EVERYONE

KB     I don't think any person not owning a pet is aware of how much routine is a factor in living with them.  Cute

KAREN  I've seen some specials about those python hunters in Florida.   If they don't get the eggs or a pregnant Mom it is almost hopeless.  Glad that tornado wasn't any closer  Phew!

LANI    Mom always made us at least try one mouthful of a new food and believe me we loved everything she made BUT if we gagged we didn't have to eat it.   ;) ;)     Bear cub purring - who knew  ;)    Perfect good night photo.  :-*

EAGLES   WOW  Quite a storm you had.  Happy to hear just a clean-up and no major damage.

PHYL  The Red Shoes.  I've not heard of that story before.    That would have been a very gruesome end to Amelia's life if true  :o

CLYNN    Those Columbo "gotchas" are the best.  Remember everyone  LOLOL.   Had not heard about the Chili wildfires.
WOW    Can hardly imagine all those veterans on 1 ship.  Sleep standing up?

Good Morning!   Lisa, I cannot believe Sydney is 6 months old already!  Time sure flies!   Any recent pictures? 
Piper and I slept in a little today!  Cloudy and a high of z60 at one and two this afternoon, then down.
Tsk, my mother had the same idea.  Try one bite!   She only cooked one dinner sonI usually ate what was on the plate!  Believe the  advice was to cook calves liver only!   Not too fond of it and all the  organ meats are high cholesterol.   Like baby limas but dod not care for them as a kid!
Thanks for the info on the wildfires in  Chile!  I have not seen that.
Just read about mudslides in Ca!   Not good!  Wonder if a massive reforestation program in wildfire areas would help?

Lisa, Congratulations to little Miss Sydney!!  :-*

Clynn, thanks for explaining "Chile" I wasn't sure... thanks for Columbo moments. He was one of our past favorites.... what an amazing pic of the ship with our servicemen.

Kb, Big Horn Sheep has a gorgeous view.

Phyl, Watching the Peregrine and Sandpipers, fly pipers fly... oh my what a unimaginable ending for Earhardt or for anyone....

Puff, my mom cooked delicious chop suey, hammock/navy bean soup, stews, but she could not make liver/onion/lima bean palatable for anyone but her.  :-X  My family was deprived of it's taste and smell.  ;D My mother, grandparents never used a cookbook. I received my first cookbook "Better Homes & Garden" as a wedding gift. I still have it.... Thanks for Goose alert. I can hear them now.

Tsk, the Red Shoes is a well-known classic movie. Sometime when you're doing your puzzle, check it out on a cold wintry day.

{{{Eagles}}} wonderful to see your post. I was worried you might have been without power. Thankful your damage is repairable. Is the VW okay after losing the cover? Looks like they shortened the Pro Am because of the weather. Winner announced.... Guess what? The Phoenix Open starts this Thursday. I wonder if it will be rained out the first two days. My weather app has rain starting tomorrow, then turning to snow Thursday and Friday.

Can't help wondering if they're related. I hope they all make it through with a safe and healthy nesting season and a successful fledge for the little guy.  :) :-*  Those throwback candy cigarettes are still made... I see them in stores every once in a while - especially some of the quick stop type stores that have larger candy selections.

Eagles, I've been watching the weather forecast for you. I pray you, Kris and all are dry and safe. We've had the PGA Pebble Beach Pro Am on since Friday. Today, the skies look dark and rainy.

Baz, what a great game last night for your Tarheels! Jayhawks had a good one too! Thank God!!  ;D

Clynn, Mike's been working most of the weekend. So far he plans to work out of his home office this week. He is tired from all this traveling, and taking more cat naps sitting in his chair. I don't know how he can do that. My neck would be sore... Ick I hate liver, never cooked it, so my girls have been deprived of having to eat it. Why don't you get Harley a can of baby food liver and see if he likes that.... cute pics of SWFL pics. Great pics of SWFL mom/dad, very serious glare.

BL, sorry I couldn't open.

Puff, Tsk, Kb, Tig, Oldguy, have a good day  :)

Phyl, beautiful Peregrine Falcon, love the cry at the end...

Lisa, red beans/rice yummm!!!

Royal Albatross cam
2/3 TFT chick fostered to the TF nest with LGL

Ranger Colin weighed both chicks this morning & TF chick weighed over 800g. BOK's chick needs a feed & switching with TF chick temporarily will achieve this naturally.

LGL has fed TFT chick twice so far.

Albatross ~ Ranger Colin Swaps The Chicks Into Each Other's Nest! LGL Feeds TFT Immediately 2.3.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKbM5HBesZ0

Feb 3, 2024
Ranger Colin takes TF (Top Flat) and TFT (Top Flat Track) chick weights. He then returns in about an hour and he swaps the chicks into each others nests.The younger chick TFT went to LGL and LGL's chick TF, went to BOK's nest. The reason for this swap is BOK's chick needs to be fed this morning and she seems to be depleted of food so the two chicks have been switched temporarily to achieve this feeding naturally. Right after Colin departed, Mama LGL began to feed TFT chick and gave a good feeding to her foster chick!! Well done LGL! Thank you for watching!

Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

Lani, LOL, love those "religious" dachshunds of yours!!   ;D So cute!! :-* That's wonderful news for the way the Royal Albie chicks are so easily temporarily fostered to other nests for needed feedings the natural way.  :-*  Thanks for the update. Yes! I was so happy with the Tarheels getting the big win over their major rivals!! Go Team!! Big YAY!!  :D It got kind of dicey there for a while... lots of nervous excitement and anxiety to go around. They will play each other again in a couple of weeks, that time will be at the foe's court. Fingers crossed! I checked in a few times on your KU Jayhawks, and saw the end of that - big win for them!! I know you and Mike were loving that!  :D

Karen, LOL, be your chef... I like the stuff that's not healthy just as much as the stuff that is.  ;)  I work hard to try to make the healthy meals outnumber the ones that aren't so much. LOL. I didn't follow what you meant about being your trainer though... you mean going for walks? LOL. I did walk 38 minutes Saturday (I think that's right?), and 39 minutes yesterday, even though I'm going through a pretty big flare-up right now and have a lot of inflammation from head to toe, including my toes!  ::) Even though I didn't feel like going for a walk, I decided to get out for a short one to see how it would go, and as I usually find, the movement improves the situation, and so I ended up walking longer than I thought I would and felt better when I got back, than when I started. Just gotta keep moving, I say.  ;) :D I am feeling much better today, so I think this flare-up is going to be short-lived. Fingers crossed. I like red beans and rice, too! I've been eyeing the beans in my cabinet, and trying to decide what to make... many options. I saw a video of that big twister in south GA, near the FL line yesterday! It was something else! Glad it was not hitting a more populated area - looks like it stayed in a very rural area, so I hope there wasn't significant damage. I am still reading a couple days of posts here, and replying as I go... so I hope everything stayed safe in your area yesterday when that storm line went through!



Saturday, in prep for my team's big rivalry basketball game, I fixed up some eats to get me through.  ;) ;D  I only had breakfast, so the food I fixed for that 6:30pm game was essentially lunch, game snacks, and dinner, all together! It was a lot!! LOL. I had to make it so I wouldn't order pizza. LOL.  I made a big dish of fresh sliced baby carrots and broccoli florets, to dip in a bowl of Sabra's hummus with olive tapenade topping (yum!), and broiled some shrimp on skewers drizzled with a blend of EVOO and herbs and spices, to dip in a bowl of my cocktail sauce - got some fresh horseradish for that - yum! It was zippy! And a small, toasted "everything" flavored bagel. Oh yeah, with a glash.  ;D  I ate almost the whole thing!!!   :o ;D 8)

Back to catching up on all the posts I missed the last couple of days...  :)

Clicking the pics will turn them right-side up  ;)  The 1st pic below is of my game snacks and food, at the start of the game, and the 2nd pic is what it looked like at the end of the game. !! LOL. A good time was had by all.  ;D

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)



LOL, Clynn!!  ;D   I know!! Can you belee?!?!?  I ended up putting the last of that brocc in the dish with the last bit of the hummus, and put it in the fridge for a snack. LOL!!

Karen, yes, both of their teams' longtime coaches retired within a year of each other, a few years ago. I just read your post from after the storms yesterday. So glad to know no damage for you and Piper. Whew! Yes, heartbreaking news I've been following the last couple of days in Chile. Prayers for all there.

Lisa, o gawd... I WANT YOUR BEIGNETS!!!!! ALL of 'em!  ;D  I think you must be telling one tall tale about Sydney turning 6 months old... it has to be a time warp!! LOL, just kidding of course.  ;) :D  Happy 6-month celebration wishes for Sydney, and all the family!  :-* :-*

E4E, oh, I'm so sorry your nice canvas cover got torn up. Those winds have been incredible! And the precip, of course. Hurricane force in so many places. I bring in everything from outside that can get blown when we expect big winds here. I'm so glad you didn't have any other damage. I hope you all can stay home, and stay safe. Such terrible damage and hard to see what so many people are going through with that giant storm, right on the heels of a big one that came ashore just a few days prior. I hope all your family are safe, too, of course. Have you, or they, lost power?

((Lori)), I'm so sorry both of your grandmothers have been ill. Prayers for both, especially for your Grandma Helen. Sending extra prayers for comfort and healing for her. You and Destini take care.  :-*

Hi BL and Pip! Thanks for the links. Wonderful rescue efforts. I love foxes!! A fox had kits in the wooded area next to my building several years in a row, and I loved to watch the adult start its rounds each night at dusk, circling the retention pond, hunting for rodents, and such. Later, I would sometimes see it right out my back bedroom window, inches from me, trotting right up along my back brick wall, nose to the ground. Thank you, Foxy, for helping keep the small rodent population down in my back yard, especially those pesky moles and voles!  :-* Such beauties. Sadly, I haven't seen any foxes on this parcel now for the last 2 years. I miss seeing them.

Puff, you're doing it the right way! LOL on waiting for daylight for body discovery.  ;D



Later, Beakers. Take care, ((All)).

LANI   According to the weight data, Top Flat is doing really well.  They are having a rough time starting the golf season this year..

KB   Elephants are remarkable creatures.

BAZI   Loved your before and after.  If I took the time to make my food look that appetizing, I'd eat it all too.  :D   Have not seen any of those sayings past the first one.  See you later...  LOLOL

CLYNN   wonder if anyone has walked that longest route??      BL I nominate you to do it!  ;D ;D

TSK, I can't believe you had to go to the church just to take down two red cloths before mass. Seems like a church employee, or anyone coming in to prepare for that next mass, could do it, and not make someone else make a special trip just for that. Anyway, you are a special treasure for your church and its parishioners. Well, you're just a special person, all around. Hugs, TSK!  :-*   LOL, I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast cereal on GameDay, so I was hungry!! But it was a LOT of food. LOL, did you notice I was using a small tasting wine glass?  Ha ha... don't be fooled, it was filled to the brim - more than once.  ;) 8)   I didn't do anything extra to make that food look appetizing. It just is, naturally! That is, of course, except to the people who find any of it disgusting!  ;D  8)


Speaking of some of the "disgusting" talk going around recently... LOL!! Yesterday, I roasted a giant 7-and-a-half-pound chicken!  :o (Shh, don't tell Zippo!!) Of course the organ meats - liver and gizzard - were in a packet in the cavity. I was going to cook them as a gift for a couple of neighbor's cats, but instead, I decided to cook them and make giblet gravy, which I hadn't eaten since my mother used to make two separate gravies for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners - one with, and the other without, giblets. Took me down memory lane making that, and it turned out dee-lish! I don't like plain cooked chicken livers, but giblet gravy is tasty to me, and very rich, of course. In fact it turned out sooo tasty, that I pretty much smothered the chicken and roasted onions on my plate with it! So, I indulged in some not-so-healthy add-ons to my otherwise healthy dinner of chicken and veggies yesterday, by pouring on the gravy big-time, and making cornbread, yep, with butter! Oh yum... I indulged! Pre-Grammy's repast.  ;)  See? LOL, below.  ;D

Yep, click the picture to right-side it up.  ;)

BAZI    I live 6 blocks from church.  The choir director started taking down the red which was great but she didn't know where to hang/put it.  It is a 2 person job to get down the red hanging over the baptismal font and help was there for that.  I didn't want to toss the 70 roses that were in a vase on the altar so started asking people as they were lingering if they wanted any - Got rid of them all. ;D  I'm a member of the art and environment committee and had nothing better to do so no big deal on my part.   (The leader of the group had a dtr that was being confirmed so was unable.) I liked helping out.  ;D        Couldn't fool me with the smaller tasting glass  ::) ;) ;)
I've never seen a 7.5# chicken!!!  Do you invert it over a bottle/can to roast it?   That chicken plate looks delicious.  ;D

Y'all been talking about your childhood 'liver' meals--- my mom served calves liver as it was a milder taste ( sure it was  ::))  For years I' fed it as small pieces  to our  Toy poodle ' Pierre' under the dinning table. I have a 'patent' on how I  secretly  got it from my plate to the napkin and then to  him.  ;D ;)   LOL

CLynn really enjoyed your middle image from this AM.  Surly someone has walked world’s longest continuous road  by now---BL?    ;)                  Tks QE2  lots of our service members aboard to be sure. I know my dad went over on her and returned on her.

Tsk    'The Red Shoes' is a classic fairytale  by Hans Christen Andersen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Shoes_(1948_film)#:~:text=The%20film%20was%20adapted%20by,was%20directed%20by%20Stanley%20Donen.

The 1948 British dramatic  film  is a fave of mine.  It has an interesting rise in box office and journey to the screen. The ballet, itself , was  recently performed in 2023.
A pretty heart this AM. Has Lulu 'forgiven' you for the 'manicure'?   ;)

Lisa Congrats to Sydney,  and her parents on the 6mo. mark.  First birthday not far off now.  ;) 

Lani tks for the Royal Albie update/snaps w/stats. TF seems to be doing well.

Eagles relieved your damages weren't any worse or w/o electricity.

Kb, very teary here after watching the elephants and their former caretaker's reunion. Elephants are amazing creatures! :-*

Baz, Glad you're feeling better and getting your walk in. It does help to keep moving. Last two years of watching the Albatross, I didn't know about their foster parenting system. It sure works. And the Albies seem to be so accepting of other chicks. No wonder they are such social birds. Other parents will sit down with lone chicks for a visit too.... Jayhawks need that win. Tonight is our state rivalry game KU vs K-State at KSU. It'll be a tough game.... delicious healthy game snacks and food.  ;D ... Your chicken dinner looks delicious, YUM!!! ... I'm making Mike roast Spatchcock chicken with potatoes, carrots &  gravy tomorrow night.

Clynn, Interesting looking cat paws.  ;D ... The world’s longest continuous road looks like the road to travel for BL and Pip! Cool ;D 8)

Phyl, what a cute light! We are going to have a beautiful day today, 57, sunny, low winds, the trifecta! Delicious dinner, but no desert? What's up with that?  ;D ;D  Reading about Mardi Gras now...  Thanks for the link!

Lani, oh that sweet baby and kitty sound asleep... Yes, that cat was surely photoshopped, LOLOL! Cats just aren't as willing as dogs to get dressed up! Hope Mike has been able to relax, how is his back doing? Hope all is well with Shannon and Aly!

Puff, Bella's birthday is coming up, you know I have been buying stuff for months...  ::)

T40, always good to have a glimpse of our Beloved Sister Felicity!

Phyl, speaking of liver reminded me of my Aunt Linda. She was a farmer's wife, as both of my Aunts were, and always cooked up a storm. She was checking something in the pressure cooker and when I looked in the pan it was a huge tongue!  A cow's tongue. Ewwww! That was over 50 years ago and I can still see it plain as day!

tsk, you are a Saint, for sure!  I am betting that longest walk has some pretty sketchy areas to travel, especially the part through Russia!

CLynn cute oil barrels this AM; tks for Sue's SWFL - 'When I Grow Up!'  is so sweet-pulls at the heart ; farm folk don't
waste much. Neither, my grandparents nor Jim's family as farmers ate the more 'exotic' types of meat  ---liver was about it.   As a child, I do recall seeing
beef tongue in the meat case in Safeway and Skaggs Alpha Beta when 'we' grocery shopped---very thankful it was only liver at our house.  :)

Tsk luv your heart banner this AM; I think you're correct on the  "Sister  Felicity' may have been the inspiration for the  Anthropomorphic phenomena

Morning Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Tig, How sad and tragic to lose the historical Lutsen resort.

Eburg  ;D

Hi Puff :)

Lisa, awww I can't believe how big Sydney is at 6 months! She is such a cutie, love those big brown eyes!  :-*

Kb, can you imagine how tired that turtle must be by the end of the day. LOL! So cute!  ;D

Clynn, cute painted garden pots.... Mike is moving slow and easy, but never complains. Everything is always "I'm good" ... he's been busy working on training longtime employees promoted into higher positions within the main company. He received good news yesterday for three from the Gila Bend staff and two from his Louisiana plant. They've moved up within the company and will move to different towns, and a young new staff has been trained well to take over.... My grandpa cooked weird meat sometimes, but thank God he never tried cow's tongue.
Love Debbie's pic of E23 and mom  :-*

Phyl, It's a perfect day to hunt for sea shells on the sea shore in today's nature video.... Thanks for article on Mardi Gras....

Boy you all must really want me off this Forum.   ;)   :P

I doubt one would even make it off of the Dark Continent with there skivies on let alone with their scalp.    :o

I prefer my long distance treks with a whole lot less real world dangers and serious hazards.
Comes to mind just a few .. shot, stabbed, kidnapped, bombed, detained, taken hostage, etc, etc ...

Good Morning Beakers!

I meant to post last evening, but we were watching Netflix after dinner, and then I fell asleep.  We are okay here following all the rain, but I'm sure you have followed the news and have seen that southern Ca folks are having a terrible time.

I need to leave soon for my orthodontic appt., but I will catch up in here later.      I cleared out, and wiped my kitchen cabinets and rearranged - big project that took me 5 hrs!  I have 2 big boxes of stuff to donate and a big bag of throw-aways!

Hope all Beakers are safe.  BBL  :)

KB   That was so cute.  Didn't seem like kitty wanted that new friend.  Brings a whole new dimension to Aesop's "Tortoise and the Hare"  LOLOL

LISA   She is really sitting up good!!   Think crawling comes around 9 mos??   My nephew skipped crawling altogether - I know some kids do.  :-\

EBURG   Now you did it - or actually I did it by opening that link  LOL  Sha-Boom!

TIG   Have you ever been to that resort?  What a shame..   Paczkis,  integral to Carnival celebrations   :D  Enjoy the trip to Red Wing.  Was there a few decades ago.

LANI   Cute little tongue  ;D

BL   I knew deep down you wouldn't leave us for this "impossible trek"   ;) ;)  I don't think they even had to explain in the article the difficulty in doing this and all the obstacles that present much less "how to pack"  LOL

EAGLES   Love to hear about all the purging.  It's good for the soul.

BL - yeah, the global rescue group had me at Black Mamba....a big NOPE.

Boy, spring fever here...it's 50 now.
Walked Ollie, and then blew leaves and stuff off the grass, and washed my front composite deck.

So tempted to cut down phlox (dead but left for winter interest only), and pick up some garden leaves. Maybe tomorrow.
Yeah I know it's getting a titch colder the second half of February, but seems to me: The writings on the wall, as they say.

Lani - Thank you  :-*  Aww, cute pics from TRR!

E4E - Good luck at Ortho appt. 

tsk - Yes, she does look like she is sitting up pretty good.  The video that I saw of her trying to crawl, it was a lil funny.  She knew what to do with her legs, just not her arms.  She also would cross one leg over the other while getting up on them.

Ok.. we had a healthy ? breakfast Sammy from White Castle and a heathy homemade soup and half egg salad Sammy for lunch. Guess what is for supper?!?? Oink.

Now looking for BEs along the mighty river.

TSK... we stayed at one of their properties once, years ago.

UPDATE... 2 BEs  soaring over water and 5 fishing boats. No partridge yet.

And now, closer to home... Spotted 2 BE and a nest near the old DNR nest.  :D

Hi eburg Boy!  Do I know about 'ear worms' ! I've gotten a few that last  for-ever. Seems like. LOL


KB no love for radishes here either. Jim on the other hand-- ::)






Tig  sad about North Shore's  Lutsen Lodge .  Enjoy those (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRYEA-c3lur6rbNptPQMle-NrczIdtfgg-R1Q&usqp=CAU) Paczkis. These featured in photo are more on the 'dessert' side.

Hi Beakers!  I wanted to share a couple of pictures so that you can get an idea of the area we live in.  There are mountains in the distance, but we live in the city limits in the valley of Salinas CA - Monterey County.  This is the front of our house which is kind of plain-looking right now, as I don't have any flowers in the front right now, and because of the storms, we took down our decorative wind chimes off our front porch.  The other picture was taken as I stood on our front porch - which faces So.East.  The gray pick-up truck belongs to our neighbors across the street, that I pet-sit for sometimes!

BAZI    I live 6 blocks from church.  The choir director started taking down the red which was great but she didn't know where to hang/put it.  It is a 2 person job to get down the red hanging over the baptismal font and help was there for that.  I didn't want to toss the 70 roses that were in a vase on the altar so started asking people as they were lingering if they wanted any - Got rid of them all. ;D  I'm a member of the art and environment committee and had nothing better to do so no big deal on my part.   (The leader of the group had a dtr that was being confirmed so was unable.) I liked helping out.  ;D        Couldn't fool me with the smaller tasting glass  ::) ;) ;)
I've never seen a 7.5# chicken!!!  Do you invert it over a bottle/can to roast it?   That chicken plate looks delicious.  ;D

TSK, I still say you are a special treasure for your church and parishioners.  :-*  That was one giant chicken! 7.48 pounds, to be exact! I will be eating it for a long time, LOL. It was a fresh, not frozen, chicken, minimally processed, but did have 6% retained water, per its wrapper.  ::) I hate paying per pound meat prices for water! At least it was only water, and not broth or salt water. Otherwise, it was a plain old fresh whole chicken - just a really big one! It was called a Purdue Oven Stuffer, Whole Roaster, Chicken With Giblets. I placed it breast side up in a large, turkey-sized roasting pan, tucked the wing tips under, and cooked it uncovered at 350. The wrapper directions said to pour a half cup water in the roasting pan, but I didn't because there was more water than that inside the chicken in the bag, so I just poured that into the pan. It had a popup thermometer, which, based on the weight and expected cook times on the wrapper, popped up earlier than I expected, but the chicken was perfectly done when it popped up. Turned out great! The only thing I did was rub some olive oil all over the outside, very lightly - just enough to make the spices stick - and then rubbed on a mix of herbs and spices I put together, all over the outside and the inside - sea salt, black pepper, Old Bay, Italian Medley (basically parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, like the song, and maybe some dillweed is in it?), oregano, a little garlic powder, some powdered chicken broth (low sodium), and I think that was about it. I put the whole peeled onions in the pan with it, and that was it. The carrots and broccoli were steamed separately. I normally would never cook such a large amount of meat, but it was a steal of a deal I couldn't pass up, and I have a working refrigerator, and freezer, so the uneaten leftovers were separated into serving sizes and frozen. That's my story.  :D

KAREN    Thanks for the description of your giant chicken.  We have Purdue products in our meat section but you know - I always go to the same area to get my legs and thighs and don't browse around.  I will have to see if they sell those.  I'd make one in a heartbeat esp if you say, the price is good.  I always olive oil my turkeys and do my own spices as well.  Hope you enjoyed it.   Thanks for the visual aid  LOL

Puff - Morning  :)

Lisa, look at pretty little Sydney!!  :) :-* :-*  She's sitting up, no problem! LOL, I bet she is at the point where she can get away fast, if anyone watching her dares turn around for 1 second. LOL!

TSK, I like radishes!!! Love to wash them, cut off the ends, and then let them chill in the fridge in salt water.  Refreshing! Crunch crunch!  :D Or very thinly slice them into salads. That large chicken just happened to be on a weekly special at my grocery store last week, I think for $1.49 a lb., if I recall. I don't remember what it's regular price is at that store. But that particular one I bought was further marked down for quick sale because it was only 1 more day till the "Sell by" date (not the "use by" date). Nothing wrong with that, for sure!  :D
 It was the only one in the case marked down for quick sale like that, and I grabbed it before anyone else could. LOL. I bought it Saturday, and cooked it Sunday! I love to snag those killer markdown for quick sale deals!! It was 7.48 pounds, and was marked down to $7.78!! That made it a dollar a pound!! LOL! BTW, there was one popup thermometer in one of the breasts, but another one fell out when I removed the packet of giblets. I pushed it into the other breast. Both of them popped up almost exactly at the same time. The directions say to take it out when the thermometer pops up. I did, even though it was earlier than I expected it to be done. I didn't even stick a separate thermometer in it to double check it for doneness. I wiggled the legs, and they were obvously done. It was tender, and the breast was not dry. Don't know if I just got lucky, but it turned out really good. Glad I just used the water that was in the bag with the chicken and didn't add any - it made lots of "au jus" to use for making gravy, or for spooning over just to moisten. Just sharing my experience with it, in case you decide to give one of them a try.  :)

We are supposed to expect rain tomorrow, but then beginning Thursday, it should be dry for a few days!    I just read what you said about the 'Phoenix Open' starting Thursday. That might be when the rain storm comes rolling into that area. :o      Cute/darling Sloth pics  ;D
Baz - That is a big chicken - but I bet it was delicious when done and then it will serve you for a few meals! :)    By the way - liked your pics of snacks before the game and the dish after the game! ;D    No we didn't lose power during the storms - we were lucky.
LisaG - Can't believe that Sydney is 6 months old now! Babies always grow so much in their first year!  She is a doll  :-* :)   She is learning to crawl! ;D
Kb - Loved the vid of the elephants & caretaker!! :-*
Phyl - Thank you so much!     Like your 'Liver' story  ;D    It seems that Jim likes radishes - does he 'dip' them first?  I like vegies that I can 'dip'!
Puff -  :)
Clynn - Liked the story you told to Phyl about your Aunt cooking a Cow's tongue in the pressure cooker!   My husband's Grandfather was in the Cattle business in the Los Banos / Gustine areas of CA, and he used to eat those items too. ???
Eburg - Liked the music vid!
Tig - I like radishes sliced thin in green salads, but I too eat vegetables because they are healthy! :)   Glad you guys enjoyed the Bakery- gotta have a treat sometimes!! ;D
BL - I think I will pass on walking that longest path in the world! ;D  Yikes  :o
Tsk - Yes! I like what you said about 'purging'!  That is so true. I mentioned more than a couple of times to my hubby (who helped me here & there) that I was so happy with the changes I made (in the kitchen cabinets)!   Let me mention though, this didn't include my china cabinet and glassware cabinets!     I agree with Baz, that you are a special treasure for your Church. :-* :)      The mountains are the Santa Lucia Mts & Gabilan Mts.

tsk, baz, E4E and Tim/Jim I like radishes too, sprinkle a little salt on them, I can eat a bowl full! I remember Grandpa complaining about 'pithy' radishes!

E4E, your house if very pretty! so is your neighbor's truck the one under the cover on the left?  And is that the Delorean under the cover on the right side? I know what you mean about cleaning out areas and having a lot to get rid of! Seems like it doesn't take long to fill it back up though! I have a corner cabinet that I can't even get to in my eBay room, it is full of glassware on top that we, of course, never use. And a full service for 12 of my china that I was registered for when Ed and I got married is in the buffet. Have never used it. I did give the wedding gift silverware to Erin when he and Sydney bought their house.

baz, that chicken is big enough to act like a turkey! I remember my aunt teaching me how to cut up a chicken! That used to be how you got your chicken, I don't remember Mom just buying chicken breasts. Maybe they just cost more, she was (and still is) very thrifty.

Lani, Phyl, 'I'm good.' That is what Ed says too!

Lani, Moose sticking his tongue out!  Cute!

Lisa, love that picture of Sydney, she is such a pretty baby! Love, love her beautiful eyes, someone said they were blue but they sure look like big brown eyes! Bella has brown eyes! Here is Bella at 6 months...seems like just a short while ago...

Hello Beakers

I grew up on a farm - my family had a garden that was about 75 ft by 150 ft next to a feeder pig lot - everything grew well without adding anything.  In the summer, if I wanted a snack, all I had to do was walk to the garden and pick anything I wanted that was ripe and was edible raw.  Peas, carrots, turnips, lettuce, ground cherries, tomatoes and radishes.   We also helped with my grandparent's garden in town - it was twice the size and included strawberries and asparagus as well as black berries, raspberries, gooseberries and red & black currants.   Also had an aunt that had a smaller garden in town - the three gardens were planned and shared together to give all of us frozen/canned food for most of the year.  The gardens also contained potatoes, sweet corn, cabbage, cauliflower, beets, green and yellow string beans, rhubarb, squash, pumpkins & melons.

The radishes were best when about 1 inch diameter - full grown was about 1.5 in. and had too much heat.

Also had beef heart and tongue growing up - Mom usually diced the meat in 1/2 in. cubes and made it into white gravy.  Never liked liver, but ate enough to keep peace at the table... ;)

Only ate beets as pickled - did not like or eat asparagus or cauliflower. and cabbage & turnips only raw.

The owls occupy a nest the eagles worked on in the pasture but never occupied!  I do not think it was ever finished.  Owls are not nest builders so the took this over as home and have not been good tenants!  They attack the eagles at night!  Anyway, some one asked if the nest was viewable on a camera and I do not know!   Saw this on FB.  It was taken and posted by Wiskernwings!
Baz, wish I had your chicken!   They are in Publix  but I have never tried or priced one,
I like radishes!  Had some in salad  tonight!  Love the crisp, chrunchy peppery bite!  Very fresh tasting! 
Eagles, nice pictures of your home and neighborhood! What is the little tree you have planted?
Lisa, darling picture of Sydney!  Didn’t you say she has blue eyes?   They look black!  She may walk before she crawls!   So al ert.

Clynn, it does not seem possible that Bella is 6!  Wow, time is flying!
Lani and Phyl, thanks for the posts and links!
Bl, that walking road looks very dangerous!   Dont go there

tsk, baz, E4E and Tim/Jim I like radishes too, sprinkle a little salt on them, I can eat a bowl full! I remember Grandpa complaining about 'pithy' radishes!

E4E, your house if very pretty! so is your neighbor's truck the one under the cover on the left?  And is that the Delorean under the cover on the right side? I know what you mean about cleaning out areas and having a lot to get rid of! Seems like it doesn't take long to fill it back up though! I have a corner cabinet that I can't even get to in my eBay room, it is full of glassware on top that we, of course, never use. And a full service for 12 of my china that I was registered for when Ed and I got married is in the buffet. Have never used it. I did give the wedding gift silverware to Erin when he and Sydney bought their house.


Hi Clynn - to answer your question (I can see I didn't do something correctly in replying).
That is our property-we have a single driveway on one side of our house and a double driveway on the other side; the covered vehicle is our '94 Chevy Silverado; 7.4 liter, 454 cu big block! Hubby treats like a prized possession; only 62k miles and it runs like it is brand new.  The red 2004 gmc pick up in the driveway is his 'everyday' vehicle.  He acquired this after his Dad passed in Jan. 2020 (he paid his sister & brother some $ to keep the vehicle).    The white vehicle is my car!   In front of my vehicle is his covered Delorean (2 covers).

Tsk, We love radishes. I just cleaned two bunches and placed in a container with lightly salted water for Mike to snack on throughout the week or it sliced for our salad topping.

Eagles, you did early spring cleaning. Good for you.  ;D I have a couple of boxes of items for our Payson Humane Society Resale Store.

Tig, WOW! Today was a great eagle sighting day for you! Awesome!

Karen, as cute as the owls are, I wish they were far far away.

Eagles, your home is very pretty and you live in a beautiful area near the mountains and not too far from the coast. Best of both worlds. I'm looking for the DeLorean and the gorgeous VW camper.  ;D .. it's been non-stop raining since 3pm and it's suppose to continue all night, next 3 days and snow Saturday. But, it's just a nice soaking rain.  ;D

Baz, we love radishes too, and I do the same thing with them for Mike to snack on all week. Thanks for sharing your chicken recipe. The chicken looks like a turkey... darn those Clemson Tigers  :-\

We haven't heard from Weasel or Lindygold.

Clynn, awww sweet Miss Bella  :-*. ... Mike's parents spent some at Canyon de Chelly.

Oldguy, thanks for your posts and your story.... so sad for the poor coyote, definitely looks young. Glad they could help it. I'll listen to the rest of the links tomorrow.

Good night!

Good Morning Everyone....  

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/56/34/21/5634210847416bafe3a96275dfff0d56.jpg)

Currently 29F clear    High  68F sunny,  Low 29F 

Eagles tks for the snaps,  if I recall Salinas CA - Monterey County are   very pretty areas esp near the coast.  Think I spy the DeLorean under that cover. Hopefully, your area will dry out soon.

Tsk my mother liked radishes--- They look pretty in a garden salad and she'd always add them---


Karen  tks. for the owl update; tks for your recipe. Would have to omit the giblets though.   I've seen those monstrous chickens at Publix   Jim has said they've had one at  100 lbs :o  :o   I wonder, growth hormones

CLynn that's a cute/sweet snap of Bella; I have my grandmother's  a full set of Havilland in the china hutch, have never used them and won't ever part with them either.  :)

OG  tks. for update on Kilauea -report is funny. And, Kingston Trio. Those cat video are a riot! Enjoyed your memories of your parent's farm; Jim's a farm boy from Missouri--his dad was a state conservationist and organic farmer like my maternal grandfather.  My mom was a farm girl and always milked the cows with an audience of barn cats.LOL    Grandma  Olivine won prizes for her canning/preserves.  Jim's mom had a prize winning garden.
I usually serve pickled beets (my moms recipe) with dinner salad  when I add them with red onions tomatoes, celery and carrots , I call that a 'garden salad'.


BL you are the adventurer and daredevil . . with the jostling in your back pack --I bet that beer spewed when you opened it.  Yikes!

Well, guess that has me caught up from last night...


Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats;  Chile;
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Lani - Thank you...like tsk said, a milestone for Sydney 6 mos.  :D

kb - Aww, that is awesome that the ellies never forgot the caretaker.

baz - That meal looks wonderful!  I wanted those beignets too!

clynn - I hope Erin is planning a nice party for Sydney, too.  Wow, can you imagine walking that far? Love the SWFL pic this morning.

Phyl, thank you for Amy's Blog, eggs will be coming to Decorah soon! I wish HM and HD had stayed at N1, but at least they are still around and RRP can report to us on them as well as Mom %& DM2. Beautiful low tide in the 365. We have been at Becky and Jennifer's Oceanside place at low tide, loved looking at all the critters you can see. Don't you wonder what will happen to your treasures when you are gone? I have thought about all of Mom's cherished momentos of Dad and her's lives and wonder...

Lani, glad that you are getting a nice soaking rain and not a storm! The big cat in the little box...  Harley.

Had to take a quick break to take my shower before Kelsey gets to hers! Sam and Sophie's first vet visit is today, have to be there at 8:30. They have been fed and now are offering their computer assistance...  ::)

OG, thanks for the glimpse into your childhood, I have some of the same memories! My folks weren't farmers, but every year (except when we were overseas) we spent Dad's one month leave at Grandma & Grandpas, with farmer aunts and uncles. They did the same things you mention, can, freeze etc  to last through the winter. Grandma & Grandpa had chickens they raised for eggs and to eat, a cow they milked and pigs they raised to eat. People who lived during the depression didn't waste anything.  Thanks for the videos, loved the funny cat one!  OMG, my Dad loved the Kingston Trio! I know every word to the MTA, Dad must have had the record! The man who never returned...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

31 heading to 49  Frost on the ground.  Thur and Fri may break records - in the 50's  :o

CLYNN  Well we may have more radish likers than not.  I don't like the "pithy" ones too much.  Yes, I remember that a whole chicken was all you used to get and now a days is available and cheaper of course than the parts.   That is a really cute pic of Bella at 6 mos.  A great age.  So much happens between birth and let's say 2 yrs.  :-*    Gorgeous canyon.  Have never heard of this beauty.  WOW
   Wasn't Salinas the town Linda McPherson was from? ( RIP)   Good luck with the vet this AM  Great close-up at SWFL

OLDGUY   WOW  Love the farm story.  All those fresh veggies/fruits as a kid.  You were blessed.     LOLOL on the Kilauea report.   Will finish the kitten/cat vid - a good one - later.  MTA   interesting  ;)

EAGLES    Thanks for the explanation of the front of your house.   LOVE the lighting that Kris did.  He sure is a handy guy  ;) ;)

BL   Holy smokes.  Is that pillar a common place for repelling?

LANI   Sweet kitty by the fireplace.  Cats are so accommodating LOL

PHYL   Heading to Panera in a bit to meet some friends - Will sve myself for a pastry with coffee  ;D  Enjoyed your farm life stories as well.  Enviable in many ways.   Thanks for 365 and Amy's update.   Haven't seen Aryana hummer in a long time. So tiny.

Lori - Spa day for Ms Destini, I am sure she will be beautiful when done.  Thank you!  :-*

clynn - Aww, love that pic of Bella.  That was me that said, her eyes were blue.  :D  They are like a dark grey-ish blue and in some pics they look that way, and some pics they look like brown.  Good luck with vet visit for Sam & Sophie.  LOL, on offering their computer assistance. 

Phyl - Thanks for the RRP post, 365, and thank you  :-*

E4E - The lighting looks really pretty around your paved walk. 

BL -  :o

karen - Thank you  :-*  Love the pic of the SWFL owls. 

oldguy - Those sound like some nice gardens.

I have no info on this frog but he looks to be saying "here's looking at you"

Wow, love the farm stories as it reminds me of my Grandma/Grandpas on mother's side who were big farmers. In a rural area right on the border of MN/IA...of course as kids we visited often and in the summer I spent some time in the fields on the tractor with Grandpa.

All I remember: acres and acres of something?...they had 2 huge silos on their property next to the barn so some kind of grain? Milking cows in the barn, pigs in their place, and chickens in a coop. With a smaller garden next to the huge farmhouse.

Loved it. Grandpa died in his 50's of a heart attack and Grandma then bought a duplex in a nearby town called Frost MN..population today just over 200 but in it's hey-dey, 300.
Such a typical midwestern farmer and Norwegians, Anna and Odin were their names.

Eagles4 - thanks for showing us your lovely home. It helps I think to put a name/face to an abode.

Bought a new vacuum/stick kind and it has a light on it and the hand held part...my other one died. Oh my!. My ability to see esp. in the dark MN winters has me on a bit of an OCD thingy. I'm seeing cob webs on my basement ceilings that I just had to go after!...it's quite satisfying actually.

Heading out to pick up some in the gardens if it doesn't rain and after a bit warmer.

Morning all and Later.

Good Morning!   No big garden stories here!   My fathers maternal family had farms,  one a dairy farm in Wisconsin and someone on rhat side grew Burley tobacco.  He worked in tge fields as a kid in high school !  My great grandfather had a large garden at one time but by the time I was aware it was a patch of rhubarb,  raspberry bushes , strawberries and a cherry tree!   My german grandfather on that side was a butcher in Chicago.  My Mothers family, in Tn had a few farms.   They had pigs and chickens and watermelons.  Not sure what else!  Growing up we had a strawberry patch until big spiders began nesting there and it became a patch of grass!
Old guy, your families gardens sound wonderful!   So inclusive!
Eagles, nice lighted pavers and house.  Thanks  for sharing!

All I know is I wouldn't have bravery enough to climb that. 

 Yeah I know about the '7C's---took  California EMT in the 1980s we were taught about rock/mountain climbing. It was sponsored by the CHP.

I only  took the course to be licensed to help the kids I taught in Pre-School in case of emergency.  ;)

Housekeeper does a good job!  Fast!  Light work today.   Want her to tackle the china cabinet next time!  Oh my!  Too much stuff in there and I will have to wash a lot of it!

I would recommend talking to a realtor about folks who do the move in, move out cleaning.   That is what this one really does.

E4E, I loved the daylight pics of your home and neighborhood view you posted before, and I meant to tell you how much I liked that front walk of yours, and wondered if that was a project y'all did yourselves, because it is really pretty! I also love all your windows across the front of your house, and that must make for a really nice light inside, which always appeals so much to me, too. Great pic of your home at night - dramatic lighting - really pretty!! Thanks for sharing!  :)

We haven't heard from Weasel or Lindygold.

Lani, I said some things a lot stronger than "darn" at the end of the Clemson game last night.  8) :-X :P

I thought about Lindygold the other day, and I hope she is getting along okay. It was National Golden Retriever Day the other day, and the annual Goldens in Golden celebration - in the snow - happy wet dogs don't care if you like the way they smell or not, LOL!!  ;) ;D :-* :-* That's in Golden, Colorado, that is.

Video of the Goldens in Golden event this past Saturday... The Goldens come from all over, and some had never seen snow before - awww... fun, short video - check out the group doggie photo at the very end of the video  :D :-* :-* :-* (about a minute-and-a-half long) :

Waving to All the Beakers!!  :)

Where did this day go? Oh yeah... I slept late!  ;) ::) :D

I walked exactly 30 minutes today. My inflammatory situation is better, thank goodness, and I hope it completely goes away soon!


Clynn, awww, love seeing the throwback pic of sweet Bella at 6 months of age. Hard to believe  she's getting ready to turn 6 years old! She's aging well!  ;) ;D :-* I hope the vet appt for Sophie and Sam went well, and bloodless.  ;) Just kidding.  :-*  LOLOLOL! Harley in the poop box!!!  ;D ;D

Lisa, what a great picture of your beautiful grandbaby, Sydney.  :-* :-* I don't know if it's just the light, but in that pic, she looks like she has some gorgeous auburn hair! How's your mother? Is she getting ready to go to NOLA for Mardi Gras?

Karen, so glad that tornado didn't come by you! I always feel so bad for those who go through such awful hits from nature. You're staying busy! Have you been able to get your glass-shelved cabinet back on track?

Lori, awww... spa day for Destini today - she will be extra gorgeous!  :-* Continued prayers for your grandmas, and wondering how your grandma Helen is doing, too. Hugs to all, and you take care.  :)

Oldguy, I need to look up ground cherries... I've never heard of them, and wonder if they are something I might know by another name... google search is in my future. LOL. It sounds like you had a really fun childhood growing up with all the farm/plant/animl surroundings.  :)

KB, fun riding tractors!  :)

Phyl, those pesky ducks at the farm house!!  :o ;)

T40, what a great photo!  :)

Lani, yay for you getting the precip! Stay safe and warm, and no slips allowed for you or Mike!! Does Sadie chase the falling snow?

TSK, you're the social butterfly today! LOL!  ;) :D  Fun getting together with friends. You got lots of good eats today - Panera and the tea room! Yum!  :)



I can't remember now who brought up the outhouse... I have seen a number of them over the years, and have been in a few, but only made use of one 1 time that I can think of right now.  ::)  Have done enough hiking and camping of all different kinds over the years that I have built and used any number of latrines - yep, hatchet at the ready those times, LOL - but more often, used the woods the way the bears do.  ;D 8)


That's a wrap.

KB   Watched the video.  Looks like a great investment.  Let me know how it is to empty...

PHYL   No I can truthfully say I've never been chased back to the house by ducks  ;) ;)   " handicapped" plates?

KAREN   You are very lucky to find a gal who knows what she is doing.

T40   That photographer sure does deserve to win the Peoples Choice award.  What a cute shot.

LISA   Like I think Lani said - those eyes really draw you in.  Such a cute picture of Sidney doing her push up!  ;D

BAZI   I went back to that link - "Where to buy"  Every time I clicked on "in store" and then clicked on 32 items offered in a particular store  it switched over to on line purchasing.   Even in the on line purchasing to many stores in my area, that chicken was not offered.  Interesting.  I will look tomorrow anyway and if not found will ask the butcher.. I took the picture on my phone to show him  LOL
   That Golden's celebration in Golden, Co - what fun and a great pic at the end.  ;D

tsk - very easy to empty. the canister to empty is in the hand held part and it's just pushing a button.
For me, I like it cause it's so lightweight. About 8 pounds so that helps my shoulder a lot. Love the light and the suction capacity and the ease to go under beds, couches, and chairs.

I'm a heavy user of it as the dog sheds!..big time. I might have to empty it several times on say one floor of two. It comes with several attachments as well, and like I said previously I use it on the ceiling like I might use a shop vac.

Baz - what we called ground cherries, is in the tomato family, with a fruit the size of a marble with a loose husk protecting it.  It is also related to the Tomitillos & Cape Gooseberries.  When it is ripe, the husk dries and falls to the ground.  It is known to survive on the ground for upto a month and still be fresh and edible.
other common names for the ground cherry, such as the husk cherry, husk tomato, or strawberry tomato.

Karen, relieved the tornado missed your neighborhood.... sounds like you have a wonderful housekeeper.

T40, Love the sleeping polar bear on his bed of ice. Awesome photo.

Lisa, When you live in a state like Arizona, hearing rain is like music to our ears! Sadie and I enjoyed our morning walk. I took her to the dog park so she could run off leash and enjoy sloshing around.  ;D She loves it when I give her a rub down with a warm towel.... oh look at those baby's beautiful eyes and big happy smile!  :-*

Eagles, Mike likes radishes crisp and cold. The lightly salted water flavors the radish and keeps it fresh, just as it adds flavor to any food... weather was strange today, snow, sleet, rain, sun, then more snow, sleet, rain. LOL! The roads are clear, streams running and forest smells wonderful... glad to hear VW and DeLorean are okay after your storms. I've seen a few tv footage of the damages, just terrible.

Baz, I said a few choice words myself when KU loses.  :-X ... I bet Lindy was at that great Golden event in Colorado! She loves to attend events like that with her two Goldies. I hope she, Fred and pups are well. .... glad your feeling better  :-* .... Sadie loves the falling snow, sleet, rain, whatever she just wants to be out in it. And at my age, enjoying it with her is good for the soul.  ;D .. and no slips for Mike allowed ... I've had to use an outhouse or two growing up in Hawaii.

Tsk, sounds like a good day, and a zoom meeting too. I wish we lived closer to Panera's.

Oldguy, Thank you for letting us know about ground cherries. I've seen them at the farmer's market and sometimes here at Basha's. I'll buy some next time I see them available.

BL thanks for sharing your adventures with us and providing great weather info for everyone's safety.

What’s a 49er?

Before it became synonymous with a certain football team. The name references the year when thousands of prospectors flocked to California to strike gold.

Phyl, thew scenery in the 365 is absolutely beautiful, as is the falcon!

Lisa, we are supposed to get to 61 today! The last bits of snow will be done today, we had one small patch left, the last of the big pile by the driveway.  Thanks for the closeup of Sweet Sydney! Her eyes are very mysterious and beautiful...

Lani, a soft rain in a forest has to be one of natures best! I can almost smell the pines! I would so love to join you on your morning walk with Sadie, I bet is her favorite time of day!  My grandparents had an outhouse until they got the indoor plumbing in 1960. I remember it well, and taking a bath in the big metal tub on the back porch. My great Grandmother never had indoor plumbing, their house was never painted. She passed away in 1975. Born in 1884.  It's hard for me to imaging you saying those 'choice words' when KU loses!

kb, cute garden sheds!

T40, my friend Janet, in England, emailed me that polar bear picture too! I bet it has been shared millions of times around the world! It is one of the very best, that is for sure. I look for it to get picture of the year somewhere!

baz, Bella's class had a 'dress like Grandpa or Grandma Day' at school yesterday!  Sam and Sophie's vet visit yesterday went fine! Spay and Neuter are scheduled. The gals at the vet went crazy over them!

GOOD MORNING

43 heading to 58?  this afternoon.   Cloudy and rain moving in later.

OLDGUY   We learn something new every day!  I've known them as tomatillos ( googled the picture)

KB   Love the "she sheds"  :D

LANI  They need to figure out how to bottle the forest smells after a rain.  ;)

LISA  Hope Mom is doing well and now  a good session for Jeff's Dad is in the works

PHYL  Might handsome lunch for Mr Falcon 365

CLYNN  Entertained by your AM owl.  On my second cuppa.   Bella looks just like Grandma  ;D  Who wouldn't go nuts over S&S  Looks like the tank top says 1926

Morning all.
sun is starting to peek out after a night of rain....going up to 53 here today!...definitely a morning when warmer and drier yet for a walk with Ollie.

oldguy - I don't think i've ever seen/heard of ground cherries...interesting.
I did see it's part of the nightshade family though so those with dogs/pets to stay away from.
I know I recently have started to find nightshade plants in parts of my yard. Interlopers. I find and pull immediately.

Phyl, good stuff this morning... beautiful scenery in the nature vid. I looked away during Peregrine's mealtime.... Thanks for football history... heartbreaking for the Grindavík community, no going back.  :'(

Clynn, Miss Bella looks more and more like her mom, especially with the glasses. Love her hair.... So cute!  ;D ... glad all went well for S&S.... I think the girl in the middle of the 1976 pic looks out of place. Where's her right arm? She casts a weird shadow on the car. I'm probably seeing things.  ;D

Oldguy, oh my, this lava flow is moving fast  :'(

Good morning .  Thanks BL!   I maybe 10 minutes from 84 and Inner Perimeter , maybe less.  Took 84 when I used to visit friends in Hilton Head!   Do not know some of tge locations mentioned like Mud Swamp!  I am at roughky I 75 and  SR 41.
We eat a lot of things in the night shade family so do not  get so anxious to pull it.  Never saw a dog attracted to it!
Lisa, how is fil?   Is your mother out and about?   Is Sydney using her arms to play the drums?
Clynn, glad the kitties got a clean bill of health!   Bella looks very elderly with the wire frame glasses!   Do you wear them?
 Lani, I can appreciate  and relate to your  pleasure in walking in all that wet weather!  Living in El Paso with 364 days of sun shine was a bit too much of a good thing for a Chicago girl!   A 30 minute down pour was heavenly!  Reason to run outside and cheer!


Just found out the hha is not coming today!  Yrsterday her son was diagnosed with covid!   Oh my!

Lani at this weather station (https://dex.cocorahs.org/stations/AZ-GL-8) just north of the Payson Golf Course from 02/01/24 to 02/08/24 AM they have had 3.26" of rain.

That station is about 4.2 miles WSW of your location.

From 01/01/24 to 02/08/24 AM they have gotten 4.23" of rain + 2.8" of snow.   ;D

From the second graph you can see that is a nice amount of precip above your 30 year "normal" amount of rain.   :)

clynn - Bella looks cute for her 'dress like Grandpa or Grandma Day' at school. Glad to hear the Sophie & Sam's vet visit went well yesterday.  I need to take Bandit in on Monday.  I love that planter in your last pic. 

tsk - Mom sounds great, and says she is getting better every day.  Jeff's Dad made out good.

kb - Hope you got your walk in with Ollie.

Lani - Thank you.   He did good.  Thanks for the Royal update.  It sure does look like a party on Top Flat is happening.  ;D

karen - Mama has not driven yet, but I am sure she will be out and about by the weekend.  I know baz asked me about NOLA Mardi Gras, but Mama is going to take it easy and head to Gulf Shores for it this year.  She says, it is less crowded there.

Puff Dan has  as his email signature, 'Old age isn't for sissies"  ;)

Lani many thanks for the Royal Albie update/photo.  Enjoyed the short video, too.  Agree with the Twitter following, the gang is having a 'coffee gathering' of sorts. LOL

Karen feel for you HHA/son with CoVid...thoughtful for your sake in not coming to work today. You don't need that--no one does.


eburg ditto 'she' is scrawny

Baz - what we called ground cherries, is in the tomato family, with a fruit the size of a marble with a loose husk protecting it.  It is also related to the Tomitillos & Cape Gooseberries.  When it is ripe, the husk dries and falls to the ground.  It is known to survive on the ground for upto a month and still be fresh and edible.
other common names for the ground cherry, such as the husk cherry, husk tomato, or strawberry tomato.
https://foodprint.org/real-food/ground-cherries/

Oldguy, thanks. After I posted to you about that, I went to look them up, and learned about them - same as what you posted here, and I dug in for more info, too. I have never eaten them ,but now I understand what they are. I don't think I have ever seen any, that I know of - unless I sw them in a store or farmer's market, and didn't know what I was looking at - and that happens to me a lot! LOL. I do know what tomatillos are, though - in the family, but different, I seeeee, and I read about the taste of the ground cherry. I think I would like them a lot! I will have to be on the lookout for them and see if they pop up anywhere I shop, if I can remember, that is! That's a big "if." LOL. What time of year are they "in season?" More like in the Spring? Or closer to, or during, summer?

PHYL   No I can truthfully say I've never been chased back to the house by ducks  ;) ;)   " handicapped" plates?

KAREN   You are very lucky to find a gal who knows what she is doing.

T40   That photographer sure does deserve to win the Peoples Choice award.  What a cute shot.

LISA   Like I think Lani said - those eyes really draw you in.  Such a cute picture of Sidney doing her push up!  ;D

BAZI   I went back to that link - "Where to buy"  Every time I clicked on "in store" and then clicked on 32 items offered in a particular store  it switched over to on line purchasing.   Even in the on line purchasing to many stores in my area, that chicken was not offered.  Interesting.  I will look tomorrow anyway and if not found will ask the butcher.. I took the picture on my phone to show him  LOL
   That Golden's celebration in Golden, Co - what fun and a great pic at the end.  ;D
    You are a good advertisement for how movement can actually reduce pain...

TSK, sorry it didn't come up in your list of stores. FYI, Perdue makes several different whole chicken products. The type I got is called, "PERDUE® Oven Stuffer®® Whole Chicken with Giblets." It's in a green wrapper, but so are some of their other whole chicken products, but that's the particular product type I bought. I found it in Harris Teeter, which is owned by Kroger, so if you have a Kroger there, or one of the stores in their "family" of owned grocery store chains, you might find it there. BTW, when I went to that website and asked it to show me just that product in my town, none came up in the In Store, or Online list. LOL. Go figure.  ::) Sorry, and I hope I haven't sent you on a wild chicken chase!  ;) You have probably gone on that chase by now though... sorry. What?!? No scones at the tea house?!?!? Off my list!!

Oldguy, that's awful news for Keflavik, Iceland, being without hot water and heating! Just awful. Prayers for all affected by the lava.  I read that some people say the ground cherry tastes like a cross between a tomato and a pineapple. Is that about how you would describe them, too? I think tomatillos are a totally different taste though from ground cherries. I believe tomatillos are used to make salsa verde, if I recall.

LANI   Albie party time  ;D   I hope there is an answer to the "what's wrong in the picture"  LOL  I couldn't see a right arm either  LOL

KAREN   Glad your HHA stayed home!!

EBURGH    ;D ;D

BL   Thanks for being so helpful with the weather maps  :)

LISA   Nice report on FIL.  :-*  Sounds like Mom is making a smart decision about Mardi Gras.

BAZI  I was at my grocery this AM " Marianos"  a Kroger store. ( recently tho Mariano's and Jewel ( Safeway)- another big chain in our area - have merged) .  We've seen no change so far.   I showed the picture to the butcher and no they do not carry that but showed me two other companies , unfamiliar to me, that have whole chickens in a bag - around 3-4 pounds .    No big deal.  It was just a curiosity for me.   Yes I was surprised about no scones - but that was OK I had a bear claw at Panera a few hours before  LOLOL/  It was probably good they were out.
    Love the squirrel esp the slippers  ;D

Phyl - Like the retro phone!  I feel bad for folks that may be losing their Land Line in the near future.  They showed a segment on the news about how it looks like Land Line phones will be closing out soon.  Some folks really still want a land line - especially if they live in an area where they don't get good cell coverage.
Clynn - How cute Bella is dressed for Grandma & Grandpa day!!!   Glad to know all went well for Sam & Sophie at their vet appt yesterday!! :)
Tsk - Nice that your temp in the area has gone up some!
Og - Watched the news segment on Iceland and it is very scary. :o

Lisa, glad your FIL did good... so glad to hear your mama is getting better every day.  ;D

Karen, I hope your HH son's is better soon. I hope she doesn't come down with covid.... You and Piper take care.

Phyl, I can see the Grindavík lights in the distance, while the lava smokes and flows. It's just heartbreaking.

Eagles, how is your mom? Has the weather improved.

Aryana Hummingbird, Laguna Niguel, California   cam thread has been updated with a series of new nest videos

Begining today:
Aryana Hummingbird Lays Her First Egg of the 2024 Nesting Season

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drCM_AlbdUg


Jan 12, 2024  #Explore #NeverStopLearning #MoreToExplore
Aryana is an Allen's Hummingbird who lives year-'round in the coastal area of Laguna Niguel, California. She built this nest in a Gartenmeister Fuchsia.

WATCH THIS: After sitting low in the nest for several minutes (only some of which you see here), Aryana lifts herself onto the uppermost edge of the interior nest wall. She stabilizes herself by gripping the nest fluff with her tiny talons. When she starts "laboring," her back end is elevated. She flares, lifts, and wiggles her tail quite a bit while she's pushing it out, and then appears to "collapse" into the nest bowl when she's finished.

She spins the egg with her feet and beak. This helps keeps the egg membranes from sticking to the shell.

Even though Aryana stays on the nest for a while, she is not yet incubating this egg. It is not at risk, temperature wise,  as the regional weather is a balmy 60-some degrees Fahrenheit and she covers it with her "brood patch" while she sits on her nest.

Aryana will likely lay her second of two eggs within the next couple of days, and will then begin the incubation process. By delaying incubation, both chicks will hatch very close together, develop at the same rate, and fledge within a similar timeframe.

Phyl, thanks for the heart attack chart, very informative! Aryana is a marvel of nature... Love the wildlife in the 365, peaceful. Thanks for Amy's Blog. I looked that car up, I am four years older than that '56 'Ford Fairlane! Hope Miss Maggie is holding her own...

Lani, you are getting some good rain/snow this winter! I am sure the forest loves it! It is so sad about Grindavík, it just keeps going on and on. Those kitties in the triple bunk bed are so cute! I have been going to do something and forget what it was when I get there for years... ::) ::)

E4E, I hadn't heard about the land line phones going away, but I am sure eventually they will. They really will have to wait until all the seniors like my Mom are gone, she just cannot handle the smart phones. We have Magic Jack for our land line, it is just like a regular land line but only $39 a year.

Phyl, are you saying you had a heart attack or is the statement one that is part of the chart you posted?  The Hummersare  are amazing!    Need to buy some new feeders this year or new parts for mine!   May begin my search early!
Thanks for your posts!
Clynn, I am with your mom!  I love my land line and  will need a new cell if landlines disappear! The worst thing that ever happened to the world was the break up of Ma Bell!   There was a time you could look up numbers or, call information and find anyone who had a phone! Took me a year to find someone.  The number on line was the Bank of America!   Lol!

Tsk, phone service by the Bell system became very expensive ib Chicago area some time ago!   They began adding long distance charges for calls that would normally be considered free,  a one of a kind charging system for them!   Never spread out of the area and phone folks all over laughed about it!   I do not think my land line is expensive and think cell phones are more expensive, especially if you use them a lot!   Lawn care workers are here!  Hha not here until Tuesday.

The day here is ending with  loud thunder , lightening and  heavy rain. Dinner will be , Beef tips in mushroom gravy. With noodles in a warm Philly Cheestake sauce. A green salad of romaine, baby spinach and kale. With tomatos and choice of olive oil/vinegar, French or 1000 Island dressing. Wine or a brew.  Later 'King Cake'  served with coffee. Hot cocoa with a movie, maybe.

Puff Re: bluff branch, etc. I thought so too. You've done more traveling than and Jim combined internationally I 'm sure!  Posting photos of your travels sometime? All my childhood travels on are vintage 16mm film of the day. I'm reluctant to open the film canisters---tks for sharing article on the lady who's been to all 173 countries-interesting

BL and Pip of course. Have had many interesting adventures.

CLynn liked your hippy gal today. Did you notice her nails/how they were painted? Thinking
of doing that in the spring--maybe.  I would have to use nail tip guides. LOL Enjoyed ariel views of the Grand Canyon and The Great Pyramid


Tsk sparkly heart shaped gem in cage today. Pretty.

Speaking of baked goods Lisa gonna cut into that King Cake tonight. Think I'll gently warm it per slice at serving. Do you do that? Can barely wait for the first Sydney videos. Happy to hear your mama and FIL are doing well.

KB tks for flamingos this AM. I've read that their 'pink' color comes from  eating algae that contains carotenoid pigments. Flamingos e at both algae and shrimp-like critters, and both contribute to their  lovely pinkness.  And shrimp , too,  are actually pink from the algae they consume.

Lani enjoyed the husky frolicking  in snow/catching snow balls. Maggie's doing very well and eats like an oinker. But slow to add weight on this Hill's KD as it's low in protine. Jim's taken a snap of her and I. Ought to post it some time.

PHYL   Those could be the rains that went through parts of the area here yesterday.  Dinner sounds great.  Did you ever check with your library about ways to transfer 16 mm to a disc?  We have that at our library..  Beautiful poppies.

We hit 56 today which officially tied for the high. First one was way back in the 1860s  Back to the 40's for next few days but still above the 34 degree average for days and days now.

Lani - My mom is doing okay - still deals with some issues, but thank you for asking!  She & my sis will be coming over tomorrow afternoon!  Weather was nice today (and dry)  temp was a high of 56.   Cute night pic - I don't know how you find these darling pictures (kitties nestled in bunk beds)!
Phyl - Shouldn't your temps be getting a lil warmer in the next day or so?  Thank you for Aryana!  Just read what your weather was like today; wow - I hope it gets better soon!   Yummy dinner! :)
Clynn - About the land line phones; they had a segment on 'The Today Show' a couple of days ago - I think it was Wednesday. Thats when they talked about the telephone land line getting phased out. :(    I think it will be bad for folks who live in areas where they don't have a strong signal for their Internet/Cell phone. >:( ::)
LisaG - So glad to hear that Jeff's dad's procedure went well!
Tig - Hope you had a good pool time!
Kb - Yum!! Bet your pot roast was so good!!!

Happy Caturday Everyone !

Currently 60F cloudy    High  62F  heavy T-storms,  Low 49F 

Tsk   could very well be your rains we're getting.  Wouldn't doubt that. I didn't even think of checking with our library---Main library is downtown.
 LOL I think my card's expired. The cost is horrific IMHO. However, that'd be a nice outing for me and get a 'job' accomplished . Tks for the idea.

Eagles warmer temps soon enough. We have all the azeals  to clear out on the garage side of the house. Leaning   toward those artificial outdoor plants as nothing thrives there and it'd look so barren/unfinished. Probably 'something' taller than shrubbery. OMG! The cost even othe
artificial comparatively.

Lani that c. spaniel puppy on back of bull dog.    :-* :)  Likely, you did catch a 'peek' of baby hummer. I watched the video several times. Those bobble heads are quick


Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; Chile;The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Phyl, interesting 365, that wolf didn't look skinny so maybe he wasn't starving enough to deal with the ravens. Love the cat with his butt i the cup, and the cat sitting 9n the coffee maker! Cats are...just cats! And there's Bob! Love last night's poppy pic!

Lani, love those dogs in your goodnight pic!

E4E, yes, land lines are on the way out. Just like cash. And checks. I hardly spend cash any more, I use the card because I earn points that I spend online. It's kind of scary, I remember reading in Revelations that there would be no more money, and it's coming true. The only check I write these days is to Theresa at the salon, so she doesn't have to pay the fee. I don't think they will get rid of land lines until they have a solution for the rural areas like they did for television going to digital.

Lisa, we did have the cable/internet/phone package but the internet kept going off right after we got it so we dropped the phone and got the Magic Jack (which I consider my land line), Then we dropped the cable and got Dish.  Erin says we need to drop Dish and stream some of the TV packages out there. It's getting too crazy with all the technology stuff!

Question for you all, I wonder if Amy would be able to set the font size at 12 for the Beak Room. Would anyone object? I am finding it harder and harder to read the tiny print, especially if in a different color than black. Do any of you have this problem? I have been changing my posts to 12 ever since tsk mentioned it a while back. And now I have this eye problem... I don't know if Amy would even be able to do it, but I could ask.

E4E - Enjoy your day with mom & sis.

clynn - Yes, technology is crazy, and so is the price of some of these cable packages!

Clynn, I too have trouble reading smaller print and some of tge colors other than black are a strain!   This is set at 24 and doesn’t look that big to me!
Love the kitty and dog pictures and the black wolf is a beauty!   My ex’s  daughter had a wolf mix dog in New Mexico.  He was almost all black and he was a Beauty.  We went trout fishing in a pretty mountain stream outside of Albuquerque and hikers passing by were very alarmed and exclaimed, thats a wolf!   No body stayed around!   I do not remember what she said he was mixed with or where she got him.
Phupyl, do not remove the azaleas!   After the bloom time, cut them way back and fertilize with a high quality fertilizer fir acid loving plants!  Water in and they should be fine.  Cheaper than fake  plants and they should be quite pretty!
Eagles, have a lot of creape myrtles around the house!  I did not know they grew in your area.  Do you know the  color of your flower?

clynndunn easy trick to make text larger on your screen if you use any Windows version:

On your keyboard "ctrl +" zooms the whole page larger for easier viewing.

Use the plus + and minus -  over by your 'numbers pad'.

Tsk, awww sweet Caturday pic.

Clynn, no problem with asking Amy about the size of fonts. I have problems reading posts sometimes... I'll increase the size of my fonts from now on, that's an easy fix.  :-* ... awww, what a sweet cat, loves her mom so much she wants to make sure she eats properly when away from home.  :-*

Phyl, poor wolf he just wants a piece of the pie..... a very dignified Bob  :-* ... OH my, I don't know what to say about the cat sitting on the coffee cup. LOL! Library cards are free here, they only charge you $1 for replacement if you lose it.

KAREN  I forget - over the stove mount on the microwave?   Been a long time without.  Don't know what I/Tim would do without a microwave for more than a day  :o :o :o   Like Lani said  Above the box where you are typing there are 3 categories - Font Face   Font Size and Change color.....  Highlight your text - go to font size drop box and hit 12.  that should work.

CLYNN  I missed your AM post.  Just as easy to change font size as I described to Karen

Now, I'm on my Chromebook, where I use the touch pad (not a mouse). I just tried Ctrl A and it highlighted just the text in my post. Yay. I can also hold down the shift key and use the arrow keys to highlight specific text.

P.S. Clynn, I am definitely A-OK with you asking Amy if she can make the default font size larger. And I thank you for making the suggestion! It's nice to have the larger font size to read, without enlarging the entire page, too.  I've been trying to remember to use a larger font with my posts lately, but sometimes I forget.  It helps my older eyes, too!!  :-* :-* :-*  And hugs to you for being willing to ask Amy about the possibility of doing that!  :) :-* :-*

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS! BE HAPPY!  :D


I didn't walk yesterday. But I had a nice 55 minute walk today! Very unusually warm here today, and so nice for being out in it. I walked to the kayak launch at the wooded cypress swamp, after passing the two big groups of Canada Geese at the pond near the footbridge to the kayak launch. That one group of Canada Geese, who hang at the far end of that pond from the group of Canada Geese "regulars" there, stayed put this time - no antics. LOL. I took the big loop back from there via "Bluebird Lane." I didn't get a Bluebird escort today, but I walked past 2 pretty Bluebirds there who were "talking" to each other on different, but facing, rooftops. Chirp! Chirp!  :) :-* :-* Then I did the loop-dee-loop from there past the little mailbox building for my area, and I had a piece of mail from the sheriff's office. Hmmm...  ???  what I do??  ;D  I got home and put the pretty frilly red camelia flower and bud I picked nearby in the little bud vase in my open kitchen window - fresh air, yay! Then I opened that piece of mail from the sheriff's office, and it's a jury summons! Ugh! For March 11.   ::) :P  Oh law. Law law, someone call the law...  ::) :P

Lani, my Heels play in about 5 minutes or so. Go Heels!!  :D  And your and Mike's Jayhawks play immediately after. Hope none of us has to go to that room and close the door after!!  ;) :D

Karen, yay for your new microwave - all installed and ready to roll! Yes, wonderful warm day here, too - made it to either 73 or 74 here, probably warmer for you, I expect! You and Piper enjoy!!  :)

Waving to All the Beakers!

When I use IMHO I mean 'In My Humble Opinion"  I think it's 'kinder'  and less offensive.

  Re: your comment to Eagles. Spot on w/ Revelations. It's all scarily true.
When I was working for Farmer's Ins Group as an agent, I had a client who's policy number came back with '666 a part of that  sequenced number. I did my own mail so I had to let it go to the customer like that as it was a new policy , etc. The fella came in 3 days later asking   for a new policy number. I  called policy service with him seated across from me and the phone on speaker----underwriter said no problem explaining that's just the sequence --- and my client would get a new policy w/ new number in 24hrs w/o any '6s'. Happy everyone.

BL OMGosh. What an experience with your eye. Eyes are one of our most delicate organs and  works ---it's more closely with our brain to give us the wonderful vision we have---even when it isn't perfect, it's still wonderful.


Lani luv seeing The King of Beasts' last night . Those cats stand 5' tall and can look a petite gal like me eyeball to eyeball with paws bigger than my head. When I read Bazi's post I thought the same---Snagglepuss! ---that all to familiar exclamation.

CLynn I was a little girl when The Fab Four first appeared on Fred Sullivan's. How well I remember that night.  After that night the music that came from my brother's room wasn't the same. Dan use to tease me that they were really old men up on stage singing.  I thought 'Yeah. Right. I only 'look/act stupid!!"  ;) ;D


Puff the only time I served on jury duty was when I was in my early twenties while living in Missouri. It was a murder trial.
This was  a , not in a good way, fantastic experience. I'll never forget the process nor the facts of the case. I never prayed for guidance so much in my
life. Because a person's life ...people's lives were at stake. A position I don't want to ever be in, again. No not ever a murder trial.


Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; Chile;The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Additions to the story just came to me. . .

Very first experience taught me something important - the judge gave the directives that from the get go you must go on the assumption that the accused is not guilty.  It becomes the opposing attorney's job to "prove they are guilty" beyond a reasonable doubt.  Think about both the next time you follow a news story of a case.

Last years case was a theft charge.  Man accused of stealing from a TJ Max.  From that we got to see the servalance setup a small store like that has working.  The person in charge brought in film proof, slow motion, outside and inside the store.  The film and testimony gave him a guilty verdict.

After the formal procedings the judge met with our panel in the jury room and we learned two other things.  First, the accused had a record of other robbery convictions.  That was not presented during our trial so that there was no predisposed assumption of guilt.  It would affect the sentencing. Second, the judge met with us for a personal note of thanks for doing an admirable job for her on her very first case.  Her long story of the journey brought emotions out from her and us.

OOOOO Third newbie. . .I got to see my tax dollars at work at the new and improved county court house - my tax dollars at work.  AND, I got to watch the area falcons, hawks!  Sitting in the car outside waiting for facility to open something caught my eye.  Two somethings caught my eye.  Then the next I saw perched on a ledge on the outside of the building.  Talking to the county police during a break in the trial action, they gave me the advise to come back on the weekend when there's not that much traffic/people and visit the fields/bogs surrounding the complex for a real show.  :-\  Never made it back.  Maybe I'll try to get there yet.

Phyl, thanks for the The Diction-Aerie from Amy's Blog! That eagle in the 365 wasn't afraid of the ravens! But something in the wind... Sounds like Dan liked to tease you! I never had a brother, but I see how Erin loves to tease Kelsey and Talon and Bella! Will read the Valentine article in a bit!

baz, Puff, I have received a jury notice three times and before I even got to call I received notice that I wasn't needed!  My boss at work got called and had to serve 3 times that I remember. That is unless he made up that excuse! He had 4 young children...  ;D

Lani, isn't it funny how certain songs or other things can take you back to a vivid memory? You can remember exactly where you were at the time... We were living in base housing at Luke AFB near Phoenix, I was in 5th grade. Mom & Dad watched Ed Sullivan every week, along with Lawrence Welk!  What would the kids of today do if they only had the 3 tv stations to watch?  ::) Today is the big game! Keep calm... I lived in Missouri for a few years, so I am rooting for the Chiefs for Mike!  So he can stay calm...

BL, you are an enigma! It is a wonder that you are still stalking this earth! You have been hit by lightening 4+ times? Heavens to Murgatroyd!

baz, good throwback music! Love the moon in the trees! I still say "Heavens to Murgatroyd" often, Kelsey thinks it's funny...and it is! We picked up a lot from the old cartoons! “What’s up, doc?”

E4E, are you and Kris big 49ers fans?

karen, I remember seeing some show where it showed people walking out of a store with a tv between their legs! I would think that would take some practice!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE

BL   You've had some very dangerous jobs in your lifetime.  :o 8)  It's a miracle you are still alive!!!

BAZI   Fingers crossed.   In all my years of being called I never got called to sit on a jury!   Theme from Shaft was a great song as was Green Onions.  :)

KAREN   Had a friend who sat a month on a grand jury as well.  Had to drive to the worst part of town - 26th and California! Thought she might get recused as her husband was the chief of police in my town.  ???  NOT

EAGLES  Good to hear you had a nice Saturday with Mom and Sis  :)

LANI   You have a good memory of that Ed Sullivan night.  :)

PHYL   One time on a trial and it was murder - I would not have wanted to be in your place either.  But interesting to see how it all works from the "inside" and not from TV  LOL        365  :o :o    Interesting where Valentines Dad is banned.

PUFF   Interesting jury experience - Which court house?

CLYNN   Love the hanging hearts.    Seeing a family of lynx - what a wonderful experience .

One of the whitest males I have seen until now. From a distance, I couldn't even tell that there was an owl on the pole. As I got closer I saw the beautiful eyes and realized it was a Snowy owl perched on it's prime habitat looking for some mid afternoon snacks

Different snowy.

Well, it's Superbowl Sunday...that's all that is on the news. In case you didn't know, LOL

IDK... I guess KC... no strong feelings

I loved jury duty, as I was the foreperson and it got me away from werk for a month (I disliked my boss at the time) at Christmastime (they gave us long lunch hours and we tried all the prettily lit downtown restaurants). It was an employee against the company case... we found for the employee. I remember disliking the lawyer for the company... he was smug and wore expensive cuff links. LOL

Back to the rest of my Sunday a.m. chores and get church pulled up online in time for the teaching (I skip the new age Christian music... I used to sing in choir, I'm a purist, LOL).

Have a great day Beakers. It is sunny here. Woo Hoo!

Tsk, Have a lovely Sunday  :)

Kb, I love Snowys. That is a gorgeous one, you can barely see it... Well, whatever they're talking about it has to do with the damaged cord! Love this bird!! Like Puff says, read the comments following. She's speaking Portuguese and speaking bird whatever!!! ROFLOL! Oh my God!! Johnny Carson would have had this bird on his show!!! LOLOLOL!!

Lani - That would have been nice if Aly were there!!  It will be just Kris & I here by ourselves watching the game (that will be a first, Lol!!) 
Puff - Interesting case you had for jury duty! How exciting you got to see the Falcons and Hawks from your car!    I was chosen a few years ago as an 'Alternate'.  It was very interesting and I had to be there for all of the 5 days of testimony, etc., but when it came time to make the decision, myself & the other Alternate got excused.  Only the 12 jurors got to go behind closed doors.  I had made a 'friend' during this time and she emailed me later to let me know the verdict.  I really appreciated that she let me know how the case ended. 
Clynn - Yes, we are 49er fans because, after all, we have lived here in CA all of our lives. ;D ;D  I just hope for a good fair game and if the Chief's win - then they obviously played the better game and deserve the win!!  Either way, it should be exciting!!
Tsk - Yes, we had a good visit, and talked about all kinds of stuff! ;D
Kb - Wow, that is an amazing white snowy owl!!
LisaG - No we are not having a superbowl party - going to be just hubby & I! :)
BL - I like what you said about what doesn't kill you - makes you stronger. 'thumbs up'!!
Tig - Glad you are having a sunny day!  We have a beautiful day here too; 61 deg.!
Phyl - Thanks for links! I bet you have something delicious going on over at your house!

Everyone have a great afternoon, no matter who wins!! 8)

Tsk pretty heart banner this AM. Nat'l Geographic UK doesn't have the viewing restrictions the US Digital issue does. 
Not for the present.

KB lovely Snowy Owl with the perfect camo. The parrot if a person scrolls down  a comment from Angela has the translation. LOL too funny.

Lani I'm keeping  RRP's Diction-Aerie  handy ---as well. I'm prepared for Chiefs win tonight.
 
Eagles glad you were able to visit w/ your mom. I will always miss mine.  I had such plans for her and I as we aged.  :'(

Tig hope you were able to enjoy the warmer weather.  Luna?

Lani! Hooray for the Chiefs! What a game, so close most of the time that you had to go work on puzzles! I bet Mike was on the edge of his chair! Here is a short video of the Lahainaluna:  https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/lahainaluna-performs-coin-toss-before-super-bowl/ar-BB1i8gQF

Phyl, I didn't sit and watch the game either, it was on and I checked in often. Ed was watching it, the only football game he actually watches!

CLynn  I had the guest room TV on as I worked  on the computer in my study.  When it got into OT I hustled downstairs and sat with Jim to watch the nail biting finish.
It was so thoughtful of the NFL to invite   Lahainaluna to perform Half Time, I did catch  'some' of that on TV. As always your'e  so thoughtful to post the video of their
performance. Thanks

Royal Albatross ~ LGL Returns Home! Ranger Weighs TFT Chick! 💕🐥💕 2.12.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znxKQwrnpa4

TFT gets a weighing and check up this morning. Tomorrow we start the weekly weight checks for TF who is 20 days old today. TFT chick is 12 days old today and may be weighed once a week as well. 💕

Sweet LGL is home after being at sea three days!  When she walks up to LGK she skycalls, LGK skycalls and so does neighbor BOK!  LGL & LGK preen one another briefly - LGK gets up and it is doesn't take LGL long to capitalize on the changeover. But LGK is standing over the nest so she has to push her way in there only 6 minutes after she arrived! They both are looking down at little TF who is vocalizing in its baby voice. GK finally moves his leg and LGL stands over their chick. 🐥 LGK does some gardening close to the cam before he walked out of view. Thank you for watching!

Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

Beautiful light shining on TF (Top Flat ) Dad and chick.

Just getting around to posting, as I had a vet visit for Bandit this morning for his distemper shot.  He has gained half a pound back, from the one pound that he lost back in October.

kb - Love the owl mosaic

tsk - I agree, that game was a nail biter!

Phyl - Oh my goodness, the baby hummers, so cute!  Thanks for the 365.  Cute Valentine's figurines.

clynn - Agree with that coffee post...first sip!  Beautiful pic from Moab, Utah. 

Lani - So glad that Mike's team won!  Cute good night kitty. So nice to include The Lahainaluna in the Super Bowl. Thank you for the Royal update!

This is  section of mosaic floor most likely  from   the 'House of the Birds',  in  2nd century Roman ruins of Italica, Spain  Europe.    Thank you so much for sharing this. As you  know I love archaeology and ancient history.  Awesome owl in flight. Thanks

Happy Rainy Monday, Beakers!!  :)

Rainy days and Mondays do not get me down.  ;) ;D


I walked 27 minutes yesterday before the game. Yay, Chiefs!!  :D

I won't walk today - rain, rain, rain... expecting 2-4 inches here, from when it started early last evening, till whenever it quits tomorrow. Then will get high winds here as this system turns into a Nor-easter overnight tonight, and rolls up the coastline to dump more rain, wind, and major snowfall on the coastal Northeastern U.S. The wind advisory has already posted here for tonight and tomorrow. It will be a gale along the coastline, and expecting 40+mph winds here, but much higher for the Northeast, as that system quickly intensifies later today and tonight into a Nor'easter. NYC, and the New England coastal regions will get a fast-paced 6-12 inches of snow out of it, at least! It would be way more snow, except for the fact that it will move through so quickly.


Karen, stay alert today - you're in the area with a much-elevated risk of severe weather today. You and Piper stay safe!

Lisa, is your mom still planning on going to Gulf Shores? Mobile has such a big Mardi Gras scene, I guess I'm a little surprised she's going to Gulf Shores instead, though that sure is a pretty place, in good weather. I ate my dinner before the game yesterday, too! LOL, and moved on to snacks during the game.  ;D

Lani, you and I have had some nerve-wracking sporting events this week, LOL. First, both our fav college basketball teams barely squeaked out wins in their basketball games a few days ago, and then the Super Bowl game... what a finish - in OT!! I watched it all, and loved the ending!  ;D I love that song you posted, too - Beautiful Day, by the Young Rascals.  :)

Clynn, that "Good Lovin'" is another great song by the Young Rascals you posted! Their stuff was so melodic and catchy. Those outfits they're wearing on that Ed Sullivan Show... LOL! They look a lot like The Monkees in that clip!

BL, looks like you and Pip and Kopje have a big flash of snow on the way tonight and tomorrow. Wax those runners, and enjoy!  :)

TSK, pro golf sure has gone through a transformation the last few years... for the good, the bad, and the ugly... and some surprising flip-flops by some of the pros.

E4E, sorry about your 49ers... a nail-biter to the finish! It sure could've gone either way. I bet you had some good snacks for you and Kris to enjoy during the game. It was a Party of One at my house... well, two, I guess, since Zippo joined in on a couple of the snacks, but she mostly snoozed during the game, except for when I hollered. LOL!

Oldguy, did you have to work during the game, or did you get a chance to relax and enjoy some of your yummy food treats and watch?


Have a Great Day, Beakers!!  :D

tsk - I just had the conversation with the vet today about the distemper, as Jeff didn't think it was necessary we get the shots.  It is not required by law here, only rabies.  He said, cats get the distemper vaccine to keep three different diseases away.  Even tho they are indoor kitties, he says, they should still get the shot, since the disease can be passed to them from the shoes we wear outside and such.  And, with all the kitties that we have outside, he said it is best to get the vaccine for Bandit and Misty to keep them healthy.

kb - I am glad that you and Ollie got your walk in today.

baz - Hahaha!  I do not think Mama is going to Mardi Gras tomorrow, even in Gulf Shores.  I think she thought she was going to feeling 100%, just two weeks after having major surgery.  It is taking her a lil longer to feel better than she thought. She's having a lil trouble sitting up straight in a chair.  She says, I feel ok when sitting in my car.   ::)

tig - Sounds like a good day for you.  Mmmm, Rice Krispies bars!

Congratulations to KC and to Lani & all the KC fans out there!!     It was a nail-biter of a game for sure!!  Of course we are still licking our wounds over here! 

Baz - A rainy day for you today!  We have sun, but it is a cool 58 today - we'll take it tho!  CA has had a ton of rain lately that its nice to be dry for a little bit!
We had snacks for the first part of the game, and then we had Tri-tip sandwiches (meat sliced thin on french sandwich roll) and I had made a potato salad. :)
I'm glad you & Zippo had some yummy snacks and good food too!! ;D   I wish everyone could be a winner in the Superbowl, but of course that is impossible - someone has to lose. :(
Karen - You are so right about those other football teams; there were some really Great playoff games leading up to Superbowl!! You & Piper have a nice day. :)
Hi Tig!
Lani - I can only imagine the loud applause & hollers in your house following the game last night! ;D ;D  Again, Congrats to you & Mike's team 'Chiefs' on their fantastic win!!
Clynn - I loved the tribute; Lahainaluna HS Football team - this choked me up, it was so touching.
Phyl - Thank you for Aryana Hummingbird - I will come back later to the links!
Tsk - Yes! Last night's game was a nail-biter - so intense during the OT!!
LisaG - Hope all went well at Bandit's vet appt.  :)
Kb - So appropriate for BL & Pip; Animals/pets and a warm fire! ;D

Lori - Thank you so much for your PM - Folks, this did Not have to do with football! Lol!

We haven't taken our vw bus out for a ride in a long while, so we are getting ready to go!  We are taking advantage of the dry streets in our area now! ;D

CLynn enjoyed the snaps of Moab, Utah and Kim's of the sheep next door in her central Tasmania  home town.

Tsk   I took another look at todays N365 and those yezo with the white lower jaw  makes appear to have an 'overbite'. Luv their cute
fluffy heinies !

Lani many thanks for the Royal A. update and snaps. That is truly a lovely photo of TF and Dad with the
sunshine highlighting their faces. Great videos by LH, too.

Lisa very relieved to know your mama is sitting this Mardi Gras---out.  ;) ; good news w/Bandit---Maggie's filling out too! How's Misty?
I think the country will be reeling from Chief's SB victory for a long time.  ;)

KB just luv 'the best frens...' from Twitter ( or X) such a sweet photo of puppy and kitten. And, yes I think of BL and PIP  when I see it too.  ;)   Glad you and the Ollieman had a nice brisk walk and his mani went well too.


Tig  envy you, your AM swim laps. Rice Krispies bar. Last time I eat any of those it was Mom's handiwork.  :-* :'(

Eagles do enjoy your four wheel cruising   ;)   --- Right it's really raining, a downpour !
 If it ever warms up good and proper---watch out Jimmy !!

BAZI   In for some rough weather and glad you do not live on the NE coast  :o

TIG   Smart move with the cane...Who are the Rice Crispy bars for ?  or shouldn't I ask  LOL

LISA  Does Mom have a recliner?  I think that cars have seats that somewhat recline so...maybe is why she likes it better?  Or is it at the kitchen table straight back chair she feels uncomfortable?   So glad she decided to listen to her body and not go to the parade.

EAGLES  I bet you need to take that VW out for a ride pretty often or do you keep a trickle charge on it?

tsk - no, Chris didn't go with me today...wish he would but he said he would have with any snow or ice...LOL..not sure how that would have helped but oh well ;) Of course Ollie cried on the way there, was anxious in the waiting room so I let him walk around and sniff everything which calmed him. In the room we go to I hold him on his back and all went well even with a new tech. They changed the big chair to a smaller one which meant a little "thinking" was in order to figure out how to lift him up on me on his back but we got it. On the way home he was just fine!
I put his kennel in the middle row of my suv and then move the passenger seat back back and tight against it.
He is safer than running around like a banshee in the car crying for sure.

Good news for Chris though is he has finally put on some weight...he's gained 20 needed pounds....yah!..took him about 4 years....

Phyl, cute 'schrooms with snails!

tsk, nice puzzles! How long does it usually take for a 500 vs. a 1000?

Lisa, Fatty Patty! there is a girl that I worked with, she was like Mia Farrow, her name was Patty, and we called her Fatty Patty! And then there was Smitty, who we called Shi**y Smitty. Then there were the three tall skinny girls who walked the halls, we called them Charlie's Angels. Once in a while a male friend would walk with them, we called him Bosley. Oh well.... ::)

E4E, did you and Kris have a good ride in your VW Bus? Do you ever watch Unsellable Houses? They are twins who do houses so they will sell, up in Snohomish WA. They are both VW freaks! They did a house for a guy who was a VW collector, he had about 10 restored vehicles. He even had the Thing!

Hello Beakers

cards were outstanding Sat. night - won 3 out of 3 with the last one very short - won it in only 2 hands ( both over 5000 points).

It got up to 47 today - staying warm until after the rain forecast for Wed. - then 3 days of more normal temps before it gets back to the 50s again.  On Thursday we set a record of 67 - breaking the old record by 8 degrees.  Most of the piles of snow are gone and the grass is green.  We had very little runoff from the snow melt as the ground was not frozen.  It looks like the Kentucky to Boston area will wakeup to 4 - 12 in. of snow by morning.

Lani must be having connectivity issues again! It feels strange not to see her post when I start my post in the mornings! 32 here, high 48 today.

Phyl, wow on the video, I had never heard of waking everyone up to start Mardi Gras! Thanks for the history of Mardi Gras! Beautiful 365, love the view of the moon over the wetlands and the sounds of the cranes!  Happy Shrove Tuesday! Also known as Fat Tuesday!

E4E, you and Kris will never be without a ride, that's for sure!

BL, I do think it would be mind boggling to walk on the ground below all those Hoodoos! Our country is full of beautiful, strange and mysterious things! And I keep seeing things I have never seen!

oldguy, thanks for all the links, looking forward to watching them a bit later! Good news on the cards! This weather is strange for this time of year, right now TWC says we may get up to an inch of snow on Friday.

SF Bay Ospreys - The 2024 nesting season is expected to begin within the next few weeks! Rosie's earliest return was February 18, and her latest return was March 7 (Richmond overwinters in the area.)
Their original nest site, which they did not use last year, has long since deteriorated from the wind, rain, and various birds and raccoons.
Last year's nest site has now also suffered from the wind and the Ravens. This image (click for full view) shows the nest before and after a large chunk blew off on February 4. And in the past few days a pair of Ravens have been stealing or kicking off most of the remainder of the sticks. On the plus side, a fine lawn remains! 😅
We are hoping for Rosie's safe return from migration soon, and will be curious to learn where Rosie and Richmond set up their 2024 home. Watch live at www.sfbayospreys.org.

Happy Shrove Tuesday Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Morning Beakers,
I didn't feel good last night while typing my post. I clicked post and shut my computer, but I see this morning my post didn't make it in. Sorry. :(

Lisa, glad to hear Bandit is doing well and gained his 1 lb. back... so glad your mom is staying home this year. She's listening to her body.... Fatty Patty  ;D

Tsk, Identifying this year's cam Albatross family is made a bit easier by using the area the albies nests are located. Top Flat (TF) is family on the left of cam shot on level grass. Top Flat Track (TFT) lower nest in tall grass right of cam shot.

Kb, sweet pic of pup/kitty buddies sitting in front of a warm fire. YAY Chris!  ;D. ... what a lovely story about Frank Kafka, such a sweet kind man.  :-*

Baz, oh my last night's Jayhawk's game was devastating... Mike turned off the tv, lights and went to bed. When I finally got up from my desk to go to bed, it was dark, I tripped over Sadie, over the cats waiting at their usual spots for me. My hot tea spilled on the floor :P. I mean Mike turned off all the lights! All the way to the master bathroom. Not even night lights on! geez!  :o  I don't know if he'll ever watch a game again, he was so traumatized.  :-X  LOL! I'm laughing in my office right now, door shut. He's still not talking... I hope you and Zippo are okay with the storms coming. Take care.

Tig glad you were able to have some pool time... Rice Krispies Bars, YUM!!! It's been years since I've made them...  Amen for the Lakewood Church community... What a cool wooden cat puzzle!  8) ... another nice morning to use the pool, prayers for the instructor's hubby's surgery.

Eagles, SF have a great team, it was a great game. Did you enjoy your drive in the VW.

Tsk, beautiful puzzles. They would be fun to do....

Lori, Love SWFL gifs, I can't believe how big E23 has grown! Time goes by too fast. Love the look E23 gives mom after wing flap.  :-*

Phyl, sweet good night pic, that would make a great puzzle... beautiful nature video from Japan.... thank you for RRP update on the Decorah Norths... thanks for the history of Mardi Gras.

Clynn, If you read my post to Baz, you will know Mike hasn't calmed down and it's not because of the Chiefs, it's his Jayhawks!  :-X ... I'm minding my own business, and I'm hoping pancakes for tonight's dinner will sooth the beast!  ;D .... amazing Wheeler Hoodoos... Beautiful pics this morning, love the pic of the French Quarters, NO... I wish someone would go up and help R & R with their nest.

Oldguy, you were busy last night, thanks for all the links, I'll check them out today.

BL, I'm not surprised you've explored a Hoodoo. LOL!... very sad about the loss of 5 marines. We've lost quite a few by accidents these past few months.

the krispie bars for us... I use a whole stick of butter, extra marshmallows, extra vanilla, so they stay gooey, not hard. This time I even added these on top of each one. "Magically delicious!"  https://www.target.com/p/kraft-lucky-charms-marshmallows-7oz/-/A-54538256

Lisa, Fatty Patty! there is a girl that I worked with, she was like Mia Farrow, her name was Patty, and we called her Fatty Patty! And then there was Smitty, who we called Shi**y Smitty. Then there were the three tall skinny girls who walked the halls, we called them Charlie's Angels. Once in a while a male friend would walk with them, we called him Bosley. Oh well.... ::)

baz, stay safe, don't get blown away! Here's a good oldie I am sure you will remember!

Clynn, you bet I remember that song!! Haven't heard it in a long, long time though.  :)  LOLOLOL on the nicknames for those people at your workplace!!   ;D ;D ;D  Your mentioning that makes me miss one of my good buddies from my old corporate headquarters workdays... she and I did much the same... so funny!  :D

Lani, oh no! I missed the KU game last night, but I just looked it up. Ugh! What a shellacking!! Well, I know what that feels like - my team has had their share, for sure. Ugh! After my team's 2 losses last week, we fell from number 3 to number 7 this week.  ::) I'm glad it wasn't worse though. My Heels play tonight at 7p, eastern time. I'm nervous now, after hearing your story!! I hope Mike comes around before KU's next game, on Saturday, I think I saw... Oh my, I'm sorry you felt bad, and hope you're feeling better, but you just about "tripped the light fantastic!" on your way to bed last night!!  :o  Good grief! Glad you, and all the sleeping furries there who were in your path, are okay! Yes, I think your Fat Tuesday pancake supper will help soothe Mike.  ;D  I want some!

Clynn - Thank you for the SF Bay Osprey info - sad to read about the status of the nest, but hopefully we will find out where, and if, a new nest is built.
LisaG - Like that Misty likes to eat!! ;D   Have a great evening out with your former co-worker!
Hi Karen!
Kb - What an interesting story of the little girl & her missing doll. Like the picture of the author.
Tig - I bet that 100 pc puzzle is very challenging!! ;)
Lani - Oh no, I feel so bad for you tripping in the dark and spilling your tea last night - and sorry for your night post not posting. :(   Hope tonight is better. {{Lani}}    Yes we enjoyed our ride to Monterey in our VW bus yesterday!
Tsk - That is a pricey puzzle - probably more than you or I would pay! Lol!   I too, prefer to do a hands-on puzzle on a table rather than 'on line'. :)
Baz - Cute 'Fish thrill ride'! ;D
BL - I bet you have some good hoodoo stories!  As someone said, you could write a book!
Lori - Thinking of you and hoping your Grandma Helen is doing a little better.
OG - Has work been busy?  You will probably be setting out 'Spring time' stuff soon!
Hi Puff! How are you doing? Thinking of you and sending a gentle hug. :)

Thanks for the puzzle link. Pretty puzzles.

Lani, glad to hear you and Mike are feeling better! I also wake up at 5:00 in the morning, can't seem to change. That was the time I got up to get ready for work for a long time... Oh no, sorry you stumbled in the dark, can you take your phone with you and turn on the flashlight? I bet you get that 'peaceful easy feeling' when you look at all your loves sound asleep... That hat on that kitty is so cute! Banana pancakes, sounds good!

karen, the stores will be crowded with guys buying flowers today! Our grocery store has a floral department, they always set up an extra place for flowers to be purchased on Valentines Day.

tsk, I got a mental picture of you fishing out the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms! Do you know you can get just Marshmallows?

E4E, yes, i hope Richmond and Rosie rebuild their nest in the same spot! I love those two ever since i saw the video about the hat!

Lisa, I need to catch up with a couple of co-workers soon! We have to wait until the one that moved to Tucson comes here! Catching up is fun, so much is going on there now!

baz, I can't decide which is my favorite Elvis song, there are so many... always liked Suspicious Minds. But that's just one...  ;D

Me, too Clynn  Had to get on I55 and early into Chicago (beat the rush crowd) until 1994.  Old habit still.  Habit even continued with Ashley - She used to be first up for feeding in early morning.  Neither one of us ever retooled hours when I retired teaching.  Yesterday even worse; had early meeting at 7a.m.  Left at 6:30.  Don't even know the how or why but I woke up at 4:30.  Good sleep last night though.

We ended up with about 9" of heavy wet snow from yesterdays Nor' Easter.

Not 25 miles to the NW of us got between 13"-15".

We dodged a bullet here as the Low shifted to the NW a bit at the last minute.

A shift in the storms track of 25 to 40 miles makes a huge difference here.

Puff. I worked an early shift downtown to beat the traffic on I 90. Both in the morning and afternoon but I am not a morning person!
Clynn, E 23 has grown up fast!   Hope he/she doesn’t  try to leave too soon!  I too like the osprey!  Beautiful looking birds!

Bl, take care  if you are out moving that heavy wet stuff!   Due to melt soon?   At least the garden state will have a good soaking!   Hear La Nina will soon overtake El Nino.

Lani sounds like you and Mike are back on track!   Kitties are funny creatures!  Prowl all night and  sleep all day after gettin the wait staff up at dark thirty for food and drink!   Their to ned with humans does not usually last all night.

Great long term chart BL....I didn't live here during those whoppers in the early 80's!....I love the 25 inchers or less!...
Somehow last year we did somehow recover from a mod-severe drought to just dry.
Guess we shall need some heavy rain this spring for sure.

Clynn, Like your old work schedule, Mike starts working at 5:30am, he always receives his first calls from Louisiana, clocks in at main office in Ohio at 6am... I always plug my iphone by my desktop... Mike always leaves the tv on in the bedroom and then I turn it off when I go to bed... He was not a happy camper (Tig  ;D) when he went to bed Monday night.... awww Baby E  :-* ... great Deadwood photos. I bet the town ghosts makes noises at night.

Kb, yep, looks like snow is heading your way. Sadie our protector looks like that too.  :-*

Tsk, I plug my iphone near my desktop before I go to bed.

Phyl.... Amen, and so it begins! ... the beautiful Manchurian crane, love the head popping up in last few moments.

{{{Puff}}} Old habits. :-*

BL, thanks for weather update

Tig, I'll check on Hue lighting. We do have plug-in Led nightlights in bathroom/kitchen/top of stairs down to lower floor... I hope you and Camper have a nice day planned.

Karen, Yep, kitties are funny creatures. They sleep during the day. And then after midnight, they smack or bite your head, jump on your stomach, purr in your ear when you're trying to sleep.  ;D ... E23 has grown fast and hopefully able to defend itself if owls bother nest. But, so far it's been good.

Lisa, Do you have plans to visit little Miss Sydney this Valentine's Day? I hope your mom is feeling better each day.

Last night, on the ABC Nightly News, they did a sweet segment on Jackie and Shadow (Big Bear nest, San Bernadino, CA), and views from their live cam, and some clips, including the record 62 straight hours of Jackie sitting on the eggs to protect them in the recent CA storms there!! Love them getting this great exposure to a huge audience. More love for the Eagles!  ❤️❤️ :-* :-*

Dental appointment this afternoon that went well!  Cleaning and  xray!   Go back in 6 months!   He was surprised to see me wanlking fast thru the halls as he was not real sure I would make it when I visited him from the home and then just after I got home  at which point I had undiagnosed vertigo!  Lol!   Well, now all I have to do is make it until September!
Dr. a Hall came by today with another plant!   This one is a dainty white rose!  Quite pretty!
When it out grows its little pot I will transplant it and move it to the screen porch!
Clynn, when I saw tge pictures of Deadwood. i thought, what a difference a day makes but of course this major transformation took  way more than a mere 24 hours!
Eagles, you. Are right about Publix!  This is where Phyls Jim works.   The stores sre all over the south.  In a recent ranking of grocery stores, Publix was in the top 3 for customer service, etc.  it may have been 2 behind Cosco who had improved and moved to number 1.
Off to clean up the kitchen after a dinner of Shrimp Alfredo and a garden salad!  May also get another cuppa!   
Seds
Love the cheap etc, old Guy! So true!

karen, you are doing so well, being at home! Proud of you! I am glad you have Dr. Hall around to check on you!

Lani, those sweet little parrots...love is in the air!

E4E, I haven't had grapenut flakes in forever! I think I will have to try them again! I have been having 2 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of Sarah Lee De-Lightful toast with reduced calorie butter, only 3 points on WW! But I need some variety!

Puff, love those Yankee Scent Plugs, Amber and Sandalwood is my favorite. I like the Yankee car freshners too!  My favorite candle of all times is WoodWick Redwood. Fragrance: A complex scent combining rich redwood with sandalwood and soft amber.  Love the earthy scents!

tsk, I have night lights all over the house too, so I know where I am going at night... some I turn on and off, some automatically come on when it gets dark enough.

baz, great video of Jackie and Shadow. I so hope they have a good year this year!

Lani, poor Mike, I would have hoped the euphoria from Sunday would have made Monday sting less... Sam had his neuter today, he is fine except that Sophie doesn't like the scents on him and keeps hissing and bopping him. I think they will be okay in a day or two! She gets her spay next week.  Boy, I have a LOY of $$$ invested in these sweeties! Sam got chipped, Sophie will next week.

Lisa, isn't it kind of sacrilegious to go to an Italian restaurant and have a BLT?  ;D ;D  I agree, bacon goes wonderfully with pancakes and syrup!

oldguy, you have been busy! Throw Valentines Day, and now Easter in there for the seasonal stuff!  Maru, Hana and Miri love the wood stove! I would too!

Interesting article regarding this Midwest 'Lost'winter: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2024/02/14/record-warm-winter-greatlakes-midwest-snow-ice-climate/

Phyl, I saved your pic of the hearts from this morning, I think I could make those! Very pretty!  I used to do a lot of crafts back in the 90's.

SWFL - A little family photo with everyone in the nest. Then F23 flew up to the attic to get ready for nighty nite time & M15 joined her. Lit'l Bit is sleeping and everyone has a full crop and ready for sleep ♥SED♥

baz - Thanks for the clip.  Jackie is amazing!

tsk - Yes!  It was avocado.  It was a nice addition to the sandwich.

E4E - I know you were talking to tsk about your cereal, but my new favorite cereal from Cheerios is their Hearty Nut Medley - Cinnamon Maple flavored.  So good. 

oldguy - Thanks for the Q-kids video. 

karen - Glad you had a good dental appt.  I wish we had a Publix here, too.  Dinner sounded yummy!

Have a good night, everyone!

CLYNN   S&S are really getting big now.  When we had Kit and Kaboodle I learned to take both to the vet even tho it was only one of them getting some treatment or another.  It worked and there was none of that hissing and unfamiliar scent fighting.   Lost winter is a good name for it.  :o

Yes, tsk The plug ins are always in supply in my linen closets.  Mostly use the plug ins so I get strong scents, plus some lighted plug ins with nightlights.  Then there are also hanging scenters.  I do watch for sales, sometimes 50% off.  My fav scents are planned around the seasons.  Example: autumn spice for fall, halloween, Thanksgiving; Cedar and spice for Christmas; and my go-to mostly, midsummer's night.  Have a red sweet apple for the red oriental bathroom downstairs.  Even in the car I have the hanging scenter hanging from the gear shift on the console.  Basically I use 4 "jars" upstairs (kitchen, bathroom, living room, dining area).  Have 3 downstairs (rec room (2) and bathroom (1).  Again, the bathroom jar is lighted.  I use another hanger one in the kitty potty area.  Another cute-sy thing is the lighted fronts can be changed; I'm guessing I have at least a dozen, or more, different fronts, 6 alone just for Christmas?  Forgot you asked about how long.  Yes, it's about a month, but there's a gap at the top that you can regulate.

Listening to the news, these shootings are getting scarey...

Phyl, I dread hearing the news of the ice melting in the Antarctic, it seems ominous. Good 365, it's snowing again!

Lani, Sam is doing fine, boy was he hungry when we got home! And I left kitten food with the vet, he had half of that before he came home.  These two are always starving!  ;D Sophie isn't hissing at Sam now, it took a few hours. I do wish I had taken them both in at the same time, but it is what it is!

tsk, what cute names for cats, Kit and Kaboodle! I always took both cats to the vet even if the appt was only for one, yes it does eliminate the hissing! I, for some reason, thought that because these two were so young it wouldn't be a problem. Wrong! Cats will be cats!

Lisa, I like Honey Nut cheerios, is the Hearty Nut Medley better? Sounds like it would be!

Phyl, sweet goodnight kitty with his teddy... Yes, Sam and Sophie have at least tripled in size since we got them!

BL, thanks for the CSN song! What would you call that kitten sleeping position?

This crow couple has been together for more than 12 years. She broke her beak 8 years ago in a collision with a car. He has patiently fed her and loved her since. They have babies every year and she is an affectionate mother, and the entire flock protect her.
Living proof that compassion is not limited to humans 🥰

The evening is by reservation only with a special printed menu, decorations, etc. The first card I examined when shopping a month ago had a quote from Casablanca. Bingo! We already had movie tickets reserved. The sketch he did of us last year was better. I'll get a pic of it soon. Besides, this year's is still out in the car...

Luca at the Wolf Haven International org.

Whew, 7 or so inches with a thick heavy bottom coat of ice/wind so chunks but fluffy on top was tough this morning. Took me a chunk of time to do the driveway and small attempts to open screen door to open upper deck and partial lower deck, ie. paths for Ollie.

Andrew texted me if I needed driveway done, I told him no done but if he wanted to hand shovel the rest of my decks, haha, he could have had it. Knowing that's not something he normally does.

However, he texted me back he WILL do the rest of them!...How lucky is that for me!...as I've been nursing my shoulder ever since...He'll be here soon so I will kennel Ollie and let him walk through the house and finish for me.

Chris drove around noon and said the roads were still real dicey in places...am assuming all the ice before snow in the shade areas...but better than going tomorrow when much colder with black ice a possibility.

Considering, all is well.

some bounce
KB... Yay, and ouch
Yup... took me an hour only though to do the walk and half the driveway and a strip for the recycling and garbage bins for tomorrow 's pickup. I jammed the shovel handle into my arthritic thumb base with a blind shove that hit a raised section on the drive. Ouch. Camper did the path to and the city walk out front.
I think our total was 4 to 5 inches. Thank goodness for the sun today.
We just dropped off our taxes at the service. Now to pick up the groceries I ordered this morning.

This crow couple has been together for more than 12 years. She broke her beak 8 years ago in a collision with a car. He has patiently fed her and loved her since. They have babies every year and she is an affectionate mother, and the entire flock protect her.
Living proof that compassion is not limited to humans 🥰

Clynn,  :-* :-* :-* :-* for that loving crow pair, and their clan/flock. Thanks for sharing it.  :-* :-* :-* I love all birds, as you probably have noticed, but I have an extra-special fondness for crows.  :-* :-* :-* I know some people don't like some of their habits, but like all animals, they do what Nature has given them to do for their survival and their contribution to the natural order and balance. As some other species do, crows have very strong familial ties and often keep close family members as part of their regular traveling clan/flock together. They regularly look out for the others in their clan and help protect each other from intruders or those that may prey on them. I have watched 2 pairs of crows here who have regularly nested near where I live, and I have so enjoyed watching their devotion to their mate and to their nestlings and fledges, which they "school" much in the same way we have observed the DEs with their fledges. I love that this pair you shared here has been observed for a long time and reported on in this way.  :-* :-* :-*  I'm so glad Sam is all done, and recovered well, from his procedure, and I'm sure Sophie will do just as well when it's her turn.  :-* :-*  They are so cute together. I have forgotten which is which - please remind me? I bet Talon and Bella had a fun Valentines Day, and I'm sure you treated them with some wonderful and fun surprises and yummy treats too!!   :-* :-*

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D


I didn't take my walks the last couple of days, but today I walked 23 minutes. I kept it a bit short due to this being Day 7 of a nagging headache ::)  and continuing inflammation, which includes every single one of my toes, making walking on concrete no fun, but! it's getting better overall! Yay!!  ;) :D



Lisa, waving backatcha!  :D  I bet Sydney was dressed to the 9s for Valentines, and I know you spoiled her rotten, too, with the Valentines items you sent her way. I was hoping you might share a pic of her from Valentines, especially since it's her 1st one. I know she was looking extra sweet for the special day.  :) :-* :-*

Lani, thanks for the great views from the RoyalCam, and the nice news and reports on some of the Royal Albies we're enjoying following there.  :) They are sooo sweet!!  :) :-* :-* :-*

E4E, I hope you and Kris had a fun VW Bus drive to Malibu!  :)

Karen, that's so nice that your vet visited and brought a pretty white rose yesterday. She is a good friend to have! I know you must've treated Piper for Valentines, and you two shared some extra hugs, too.  :) :-*

BL, what a great shot from your rappeling at the Hoodoos, and getting to explore the floor there, too! What a magical place!  :)

TSK, this is a great time of year for working jigsaw puzzles. I love all the ones you've shown pictures of. Do I recall you got together with some of "the girls" the day before Valentines Day? I hear that's a thing now for women to do with their good women friends, and it's called Galentines, for the gals who are good friends to get together and share some fun the day before Valentines. Fun!  :)



Waving to All the Beakers! Have a good evening!  :)

LISA   Should finish the puzzle tomorrow.  Was a very easy one   ;) ;)

BAZI  Did not have a girls get together but was on my mind to send a group text and see if we can find a date to catch up while temp is still mild and no snow for us oldsters to travel.  Will finish this puzzle tomorrow and am debating about doing 1 more.

Sunny but windy here today.  This AM Tim saw a coyote as he was looking out the bedroom window walking down the street behind us which we can see clearly via our window.  I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time  LOL

Og - Sounds like the store is getting prepared for Spring sales!   I bet the first nice weekend weather will have the employees super busy!
Karen - Glad you had a nice dental appt with getting teeth cleaned!  Publix sounds like a great store. :)
Clynn - How is Sam feeling after his neuter?  Poor little guy!  Glad Sophie has quit hissing! :)     Can't believe how much Sam & Sophie have grown - love the pictures of then & now!    Love the crows and their story - such a special couple  :-*
LisaG - I buy cheerios too, but I have not bought the Cinnamon Maple flavor, so I will look for that one!  My hubby likes all different cereals, so I try to keep several different ones on hand! 
Tsk - Good suggestion for Clynn to take both kitties to the vet even though maybe only one has an appt. ;D     Interesting fact about the next V-day & Ash Wednesday years! 
Kb - So exciting to see Mr.Tower coming around and perching sometimes!
Phyl - Good info on the Publix store and how the employees can receive dividends! Thank you for your good info. :)     Like your throw-back Thursday! :)
Bl - Wow that photo!  You sure have exciting stories to share - actually dangerous! ;D
Tig - What a special Valentines day for you!! ;D    The caricature is so cute!!
Puff - The plug-ins you use sound real nice!  I have been using Febreze plug-ins for about 6 months.   I adjust them on the top too.
Lani - Hope you had a nice Valentine's day.  We went out the day before yesterday to beat the crowd.  I chose to have lunch rather than dinner as the weather was not very good to be out.   Thanks so much for Albatross  :)
Baz - The other day, we drove our vw bus over to Monterey, CA not Malibu! ;D   Monterey is just a 30 minute drive from our house. :)   Good for you in the walks you take!  8)   Lil pat on the head for Zippo  :)

Oldguy, All good wishes for Claire's new cat 18 year old General, beautiful Siamese cat. He looks dazed right now, I hope he settles in.... Are you going to be using Roku or streaming your favorite shows? We're seriously considering dropping our cable too.

Kb, Luca is gorgeous! Glad you've got your snow situation handled.  :)

SED Lisa, Those were single and "Keeping Company" Albies socializing with the nesting families. Keeping Company Albies are engaged pairs and maybe next year they'll get married and build a nest.  ;D At least that's what the rangers say.  ;D ... Mike had Cheerios this morning. He likes Raisin Bran, Cheerios the plain one.

{{{Baz}}} feel better soon, sending hugs and prayers.  :-*

Tsk, Sadie sees coyotes before I do, I turn around and it's gone... Sadie's got her hackles up and she's ready to go for it.  :-\

Phyl, Faith and Eros must be the babies. Goodness, they've grown!

Tig, no, we didn't watch the game. Caitlin's name is all over twitter right now. And I read about it. WOW!

Eagles, We had a quiet Valentines day at home....  It's been years since we've been to Monterey. Sounds like a fun day for you both.

{{{SED Karen and Piper}}} sorry you lost your post. I know how you feel..  :-\

Good night!

Just a quick post this morning, Kelsey and I have our annual doctor appointments this morning, have to get ready! Will be back after. Also, I want to apologize, if I don't comment on anyone's post it's because I am having trouble reading the small print this morning...

Lani, we dropped cable 3 or so years ago and got Dish. Not too happy with it either, has gone from $99 to $139 and we have had issues when it rains or is windy, plus it just stops and re-wets daily. Erin said we should pick a couple of streaming services. Great Alby information, you have made us love those big birds! Hugs for the traveling polar bears...

tsk, I think it's a good idea to get the girls together, I know you all enjoy it so! I need to text my friend Vesselina again, time for a get together!

baz, I do love crows too, they land at my bird feeders occasionally and I welcome them! They and their babies need to survive too! And I agree, they are very smart! There have been studies done that prove this! Sam and Sophie are doing fine! Sam is the one with the dark, very distinctive points (ears, feet, tail and face), Sophie is the one with the 'wild' points! She was supposed to be a blue point, but I think whe is a Tortie Point/Snowshoe Siamese mix. Doesn't matter though, she has stolen our hearts!  They are like Talon and Bella, calm and wild!

Lisa, still chuckling about 'Fatty Patty'!

EAGLES   How cool you are only 30 min from Monterey.   Back in the early 70's I met a friend in San Diego and we drove the coast up to San Francisco  - she had a cousin there.   I loved the Monterey peninsula - We sat and had a drink at Pebble Beach  LOL

TIG   Nice sighting  :)

Good Morning, down in the 60s which is more typical here but probably seems like a heat wave to most!  I have an oak tree with dead leaves, bout ready to fall and the rest of the stuff leafing out or ready to do so!  Azaleas are ready to bloom!  Weird weather.  I feel sorry for the polar bears who are losing their ice!   Not good for that species!
Interesting cereal choices you all have!  I have oatmeal and muesli in the pantry but I do not eat it much.   Not a cereal lover!   I know it is not doing me any good in the pantry!
Switched from Mediacom cable to DIRECTV a few years ago.   Like Clynn, I found it annoying to lose tge connection during rain!   I find it is happening less now!   Price on most services goes up every year and to get lower costs you have to keep switching!  Same thing with health insurance!
Found out, yesterday, that two friends died while I was lounging around in the home!   Both younger than me.  The first one a work friend, about 7 years younger!   Had no idea she was ill!   The other, from college!  One or two yeats younger!  Spoke to her husband who I was friends with first and she got lung cancer and lasted less tgan a year!  He is now planning for his 54th cruise , this one to Europe with a flight back to Dallas!   Later the family is cruising the Great Lakes with a flight home from Ontario!
Camera is off line in Swfl.  Eagle family fine!   Glad to read the Norths are good and cheers for their first egg!  Decorah is a little hard ti follow this year!  I peak into the thread and read Lisas comments!  Lol, Thanks!
Clynn, you have had such a thorough medical checkup following your eye issue that I am  sure your annual will be a breeze!   Good luck to you however and to Kelsey!  Btw, the kitties are darling!   Are you saying that you think Sophie is a mix between a Tortie and a siamese?
Eagles, I have visited many parts of your beautiful state!   Lovely.   I wish our climate issues would be kinder to it!
Sorry about Captiva, Lori, hope the can retrieve and take to Crow!
Happy Birthday Bella!
Tsk, stay warm tomorrow!

{{{Clynn and Kelsey}}} Beautiful Spring morning pics! I'm not ready for spring, I still want more winter. LOL! I guess I'm a winter girl and not ready to tackle firewising yet.  ;D...  Best wishes for you both for good results from your doctor visit today! And many many {{{Happy birthday wishes for Miss Bella!}}}  :-* ... Does the school allow the children to bring cupcakes for her classmates on their birthday? I remember saying you were considering getting ACORN.... awww first egg for Mrs North!  :-*

Phyl, love today's nature video!

Tsk, this morning our temp was 28 it'll be 61 later today. I don't want spring to come yet, that'll make hot summer months much too long for me.

Lori, so sad about Lusa  :'( I hope they will find the cause of her passing ... my condolences for the Captiva Island family.

{{{Karen}}} very sorry for the passing your two longtime friends.  :-*

Lisa, you and Jeff enjoy the weekend. Mike and I will head down to the valley around 8am tomorrow to do a few quick errands and then head back home for the KU basketball game.   ;D

Hi Puff, Eagles, Tig, Kb, Oldguy, Baz, BL have a great day!

LORI   Captiva:  Don't know that we've seen an older eagle pass away.  Chat not opened yet on this topic.  What a beautiful card you put together for Bella!!   You are so good with creating things to post. :) :-*

KAREN   Agree with health insurance.  You get reeled in with a nice low premium and within two - three years, it's time to switch again.  I get tired of doing that.   What a shame about your two friends.  They were with you at the NH?

LANI   LOLOL on AM dog, chillin'

My morning routine:  Always start with a banana!  Original All Wheat spoon-sized Shredded Wheat, Quaker Simply Granola (oats, honey, raisins, almonds), Original Cheerios, and Quaker oatmeal.  Mostly finish with a Yoplait.  Now and then substitute might be eggs with bacon on the side, bagel or brioche, pancakes.  This week's treat, with the banana I've been pigging out on a paczki a day.  And, of course some teas.

Happy TGIF Day, Beakers!  :D


I'm dragging, but I walked 18 minutes today. It's something. I also walked through 3 really big grocery stores today, and I did my early in person voting in my county's primary election. So I did get in plenty of steps, all in all. I am better, but I'm going to break down and take some NSAID now for my headache and body aches, and I'm hoping to get in some decent sleep tonight.  :)



E4E, I meant to say Monterey, LOL. Got "tongue-tied" with those two coastal "M" towns in California. LOL!

Lani, thanks.  :-* Hope you and Mike have a good outing tomorrow. Good luck to your team. Mine plays 2pm my time... hope they have a good game!

Clynn, thanks. Sam has the darker points, so hope I can remember that in the future. They're so cute. I don't know anything about the different kinds of Siamese cats. I hope you and Kelsey had good doctor visits!  :)

TSK, it would be fun to catch up with the girls again soon! :) I say go for the next puzzle!  ;) :D

Tig, I don't have Peacock, so I couldn't see it happen live, But I've been following Caitlin Clark's accomplishments on the court, and knew she would get that "Most All Time" record in the game last night... and some other records, too. I saw it in replay on the sports news.

Lisa, thanks.

Lori, I'm so sorry to hear the sad news about Lusa at Captiva.  :'( Very sad... Fly high, sweet baby eaglet Lusa.  :-*

Oldguy, I hope your cards this Saturday will be as stellar as they were last weekend!  :D

Karen, I'm sorry your post for last night went "POOF!"  Ugh. I'm also sorry you recently got the sad news of losing two of your friends while you were in The Home. Hugs.  :-*



Take care, All. Good night. Peace. SED.

Lori, beautiful collage of pictures of Bella!

Tsk tge youngest of the gals worked at RC  in Idaho!   She was hired by my ex husband!   Lol. We served on  several committees and  she visited me in Alabama and on the phone!
The other friend I met in College!   She pledged the Sorority I was in and I introduced her to her husband!  I dated her Brother in law.  Attended her daughter’s wedding and always felt close to the families!
Several of my  high school friends have died  during the past few years but I always knew tgey were ill!   Not the shock I had of googling for a phone number and finding an obituary  and a notice of a probate case! Sad when you have not been able to  give someone a hug and say goodby.  They say. Age has its privileges but it also has a few tears!
Finished a dinner salad  and Piper and I had some Ice cream!   Yummy!

Lol Baz!  Feel better!  I visited Att todau and walked Publix!

Beakers, I looked out the window after I posted this morning and it was all WHITE! In some spots it was about 2" and higher in other places! So I asked Ed to take us to our Dr appointment! It has snowed every time I have had a dr appt, so this is no surprise! Everything went fine there, they are taking care of everything so I shouldn't have any further issues. By noon the roads were just wet, and now they are dry, but the ground is still covered. But it is warming up again so it will all be gone tomorrow probably.

Thank you Phyl, E4E, Lisa, Lani, tsk, karen, oldguy, baz and Lori for the birthday wishes for Bella! She wanted to go to Cracker Barrel last night, so that is where we went! Then we came back here so she could open her presents. They all left for Chicago this afternoon, going to a car show this weekend. Bella's other birthday party was earlier, since they were going to be gone. Here are some pics! That is a Squishmallow cake and also cookies! The pink thing is a Big Girl jewelry box we got her, she loved it! Plus plenty of clothes and a big Squishmallow!

Lani, that dog cracked me up, he looks like a real dude! I haven't gotten Acorn yet, I have to get some things done around here first! When our DISH was out last month I watched several Midsomer Murders on youtube on my laptop and that was all she wrote! I was binging...  You and Mike have a safe trip on that Beeline!

PUFF   Lots of breakfast variety for you.  ;D   I eat peanut butter on toast at least 2-3 times a week  ;D

BAZI   Do you use a pedometer of any kind?  I bet you did 10,000 steps today.  Get a good night's sleep. :-*    I just notice that Sam has a really brown muzzle and Sophie is much whiter all over.  Took down my puzzle table after I finished the last puzzle for this winter.
Now will do more reading and crocheting which has taken a bit of vacation.   Did get a group text going and we have a girls date for Mar 18th  YAY  Barb in Fl will miss that one.     ROTFL   " put my chocolate in my bed"  That is perfect.  Out of the mouth of babes.  Did she?  LOLOL

KAREN    Think you definitely feel the loss of someone you knew from years ago and kept up with than to hear that a classmate passed.   We are definitely sending a lot more condolence cards  :-\ ???    Were you alone at Publix or did helper come too.  Either way the walk was amazing.  I've been in a Publix...big

CLYNN   That's the kind of snow event I like.  Great pics of the bday.  Who did that amazing cake and cookies.    Small correction:  Erin and Sidney are not just coming to Chicago for an auto show.  They are coming for THE auto show.  Biggest in the country.  You'd easily put on 10,000 steps there.  Are they looking for a new car?

Well Winter Storm Miquel was definitely an over achiever in a narrow swath across east-central PA and central NJ.  :o

We got maybe 2-3" here in north NJ which is what was forecast.

These very early preliminary snowfall amounts caught many communities off guard this AM I'm sure.
Some of these total snowfall amounts will rise even further later today I assume. 

Some of these snow amounts are well above what was forecast even late last night, double in some places.   ::)
The whole system trended further north at the last minute and the temps fell faster than predicted.

Alberta Clippers are known to be like this however.

It was weird!...am thinking primarily we haven't used those muscles most of this season!. And then, at least

here, it was 7 inches. I typically hold back and call Andrew to plow if over 4, but since hadn't done it most of  the year and I did mine in 2 plus different sessions I thought I was okay. The tricky part I think was all that thick ice under the snow caught us by surprise throwing/heaving it.

Yep. Did I mention? I jammed my arthritic thumb into the handle when I made a mighty shove and hit a high spot. Quick stop. Almost said a bad word. Note to self... surprises hide under deep snow. Had a brief nose bleed when I got vertical this a.m. Time to input liquids, I guess.

My weather no-no was backabout 3 weeks?  I'm OK .  HotRod isn't.  Backed out carefully down driveway, always being careful because of the brick decoration offset at the street.  Mostly being careful because of the trucks of the workers doing a LOT of extension/renovation of the home across the street.  Was a bit difficult making my exit because of that and the mound of snow at the end of the drive, on the street, pushed against the brick.  Yep, you're ahead of me, I didn't quite clear the snow.  No, I didn't hit the bricks.  Problem was that the pile of snow wasn't snow; it was about 1 foot of a chunk of ice.  I'll be getting an estimate to repair, maybe replace, the spoiler at the front.  I'm sure I was a bit disturbed by the daily obstacle of trucks.  MY BAD  Now, my bill.

LISA    Cute AM kitties  :) and their birdie friend

KB   That is such a sweet video of parrot and chimp  Awwww :-*     LOLOL  I use the snow blower at less than 4"   :o :o

TIG   I never remember where those uneven parts of concrete are  ::)

PUFF  Funny you should mention that.  Was it about 3-4 yrs ago we had a terrible winter of snow and banks were so high at the end of the driveway.  Tim came home and made the turn into the drive and slid right into the snow bank and it wasn't snow by that time - Major dent in the side of his car.  My heart goes out to you.

KAREN  wish you could get a good PT familiar with BPV and give you those exercises for it.   Barb's hubby Tom only needed 2 sessions and became right as rain...

Turkey breast crocking away...

Yikes Puff on the Hot Rod spoiler and the Ice Berm.
What year is your ride again ? ... it's a Dodge Challenger or Charger as I recall ?

Those Ice Berms almost always win out over the front end spoilers - plastic junk they use now.     :o   ::)

Are everyday vehicle is now a Honda CRV with 8" clearance. Still a lot of plastic garbage just above those 8".   :(
Before we got the CRV we had 2 of Pips parents inherited low slung cars for the previous three Winters.
 
Pip and I where not use to driving those low slung cars at all having driven mostly trucks and suvs for almost all of our years of driving.
Needless to say there was a lot of "Nose plastic" removed or re-attached on those 2 cars.   ::)

By the time we got rid of the 2004 Mitsubishi Galant (250,000 miles) and the 2002 Lexus (180,000) the underside of the front ends were held together by bubblegum, bailing wire, 100 mph duct tape and finally 2 car Bra's.    ;)   ;D

Hmm, Chris' friend came over today and spent some time. He drove up in a new Suburu SUV...impressive looking..we spoke about it for awhile but most impressive I "heard" was it's ability to drive in snow/ice. Smaller than my Jeep.

I'll keep hanging on as long as I can with my Jeep Grand Cherokee (2000) thank you with only 65,000 miles on it. I know I know I don't have the latest screen/music technology, but push come to shove they can retrofit it with that...music ya know!

As he said, at least i don't have to worry about new computer technology going on "the blink"

Puff when we want to go play in the big boy and girl snow of the Northeast we still take the "Beast from the East".
Our Family's 1972 Chevy Blazer.    ;D

Back story on the 1972 Blazer:

Quote from: Brokenlug

This old gal has even got a CD player in her now however it does skip a lot.   LOL.

The A.C. works great too just open up the wing windows .. what the heck are those .. bugs in your teeth fresh air.

Heat & Defrost. With the V8 it's really not a problem.
Dry your pair of Levi jeans from a cold stream dunk before the boys can get chilly.

She's only had about 5 re-built transmissions, transfer cases and rear ends that I know of.
The wheel wells have been re-fabricated, welded & sealed with oil fittings.
No more rust there ever.   

The factory original 350 V8 engine is still ticking like a Timex and I do mean ticking.  :)

That engine has been meticulously maintained from day one when Mom & Dad bought it new in 1972. 
Change the Oil, Change the Oil, Change the Oil .. Dad always said.

And the 3 of us have as the 72' was passed down to each of us.
Pip and I are the 'youngest' and last titled owners of her.

All 3 of us siblings beat the snot out of this hand me down poor old Chevy gal all over the United States _ Beak, Jumbo & BrokenLug.

Mom & Dad have passed as has our middle Brother Jumbo the true 72 music maniac mechanic.
We'll keep these 4 wheels rolling down the highway until we all meet up again. 
 
She's crossed the country from coast to coast at least 12 times that we know of.
If there is a lower 48 National Park park that her license plate hasn't seen one time or another I'd be shocked.

Legend has it that one pair of Good Year 4x4 tires dipped their treads into the Atlantic & Pacific oceans 4 times in the same calendar year. Unconfirmed by me.   

I double checked the original factory odometer the other day 900,325 miles.

Round trip to the Moon and back = 477,800 miles.

If we get enough snow Pip & I might just let the snow dust her off as she sure does like the soft marshmallow snow on her old bones after all.   ;D

My only concern and it's only cause I plan for worst case scenario: Is if someone ran into her and totaled her my insurance co. would only cover blue book for an old vehicle....she's irreplaceable.

My beater is an '09 Challenger BL.  Spoiled as all get out.  Because of where I had to drive into (Chicago) when teaching I went through three cars before him/HR.  Each of those guys I would drive a hundred miles a day until about  100,000 and then start shopping.  Couldn't chance breaking down in case of. . .well you know big city!  And that's when the city was safe.  Retired 1994, now work out of home.  My HR is almost ready to turn 48,000.  Yep! That's all.  Now it's spoiled but good.  He even has a heated garage.

BTW my '71 was a Charger.  Sold it to my brother with 150,000; he took it to 260,000.  First car, 1966 Plymouth BeepBeep, 71 Charger, 75 was the pig Buick Electra Ton talked me into, 78 Monte Carlo, 87 garbage version of MC, then Challenger.   

Thirteen/fourteen years old now.  We have a contest going - who's going to last longer, him or me.  8)  ;D

Baz - No worries on the 'M' towns; Monterey / Malibu!  :) ;D  One of those is a lot closer to me than the other! Lol!!

Tsk - I didn't know you have been to Pebble Beach, Ca!! Before my cousin & her hubby moved to TN a few years ago, we took them over to PB and did the 17 Mile Drive!! We all had such a memorable and great time that day!!     Another cute puzzle - cute kittens!!   I see you will be doing some crocheting now, :) ;D

Karen - So sorry for your friends that have passed away recently.

Lani - Hope Mike's Jayhawks win!!

Phyl - Like your night picture!

LisaG - Have a good shopping trip!

Puff - Oh no - sorry to hear about your fender bender with that big block of ice. :o ::)

BL - Liked reading about your vehicles. ;D

Hope everyone is staying safe, warm & dry!  We had sporadic light showers earlier, but it is now coming down much steadier!

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS!  :D


I slept 8 glorious hours last night. Woot!  :D  I walked 18 minutes this afternoon, and was glad to do it.  :)


Karen, I'm sorry about your vertigo. Ugh! I hope you can get it fixed soon! But congrats on walking yourself through the grocery store with a cart! I'm glad your HHA also can go with you to help with tasks and errands.

Clynn, oh wow! I love all the pics from Bella's birthday fun! She is really maturing. So pretty. What a great cake and cookies - Squishmallow theme, and gift! So cute!!  :) :-* :-* I'm glad you and Kelsey had good doc appts. I don't know what you mean by "they are taking care of everything," but it sounds like a good thing, so I'm glad for that! Hugs!

Lisa, did you get more fresh snow last night/this morning?

TSK, yum on the crock pot turkey breast!  Love that cat jigsaw puzzle you posted! It sounds like you're moving on from jigsaw puzzles now to knitting and crocheting for a change. I hope you get some more shawl donations, too.  :)  I haven't used a pedometer in over 50 years. LOL! I have never counted steps - then, or now. Counting steps is fine for people who get motivated by that... whatever helps someone toward healthier choices is a good thing. I'm more about intervals of time and intensity, than steps. The most recent studies I have been made aware of are showing that intervals of walking/moving based on duration and intensity is more important than the number of steps. My grocery walking yesterday wasn't worth much in intensity, LOL, and the number of steps didn't make much difference to me, but it definitely counts in terms of being up and moving, versus sitting - with that more recent study emphasizing not sitting as long as 2 or more hours at a time... and also talks about long-term standing not being good either. I had a job once, when I was in college, that required hours of standing with very little walking, and it beat my body up - when I was a healthy 19-year old! So I can relate to their mention of avoiding lengthy standing times. Teachers have to deal with the sitting/long standing times issue - and bear the brunt of that over time, for sure.

Lani, thank you. I feel better today for sure! Getting a very good night of sleep made a big difference! I also apparently have the beginnings of a uti, ugh, so that doesn't help, but my joints are better today! Yay! My Tarheels played better today - and got a win. Your KU Jayhawks are on my TV now - they finally pulled into the lead - good timing, for sure! They're up by 7 points now with about 5 minutes left. Definitely a better 2nd half for them today!

E4E, I hope you get good rain, and not too much!


Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

It sucked gas but had gravitas.  ;)

We use to take the tank into NYC back in the day just to mess with the cabbies.

Got hold of one with a 1/4 keg in the trunk and the umbilical cord snaked through the rear deck between the speakers.

What could possibly go wrong. 

I've absolutely got cheeks over here.

Sideways on a highway one stormy winter day.

The maple tree decided to just jump out and passenger halve my conveyance. 

I think to this day my right knee aches because of this very hard tree assaulting my vehicle.

The Maple tree on that County Road I was traveling on at the time struck my vehicle.

BL   Funny description of your rides!!!   ;) ;)   Great story about your much loved hand me down '72 Blazer  ;D

LISA   It was a Purdue and did not have skin on it...I seasoned it with a recipe rather than use the "gravy" that came with it

KB   Hang on to your Jeep as long as you can.  They just don't make cars like they used to.  Did Chris's friend have the Forester or Outback?   What a miracle for that little foal.  Such a good video - thanks

KAREN   I answered your e-mail with two links I thought were good.  Your HHA or housekeeper should help you tho.  Am not familiar with a "vibrator thing" that corrected the problem.

EAGLES  A purrito kitty  ;D    Yes we did the 17 mile drive as well.  Great scenery.  ;D

BAZI   You are spot on with what you said.   I do not try and do any amount of steps /day but know many people that do using smart watches, fitbits or their phone app..   Ortho told Tim once is " all I want you to do is 30 min of walking every single day with no stopping.  Don't care if it is fast or slow, just do it"   Just being mobile throughout the day is so important to keep those ole joints lubed up  LOL    I'm familiar with the bursts of intensity  in a routine.   When I'm on the treadmill I will do so maybe 3 minutes at one speed and then hike it up a few notches at a faster speed for a minute and then back down to the slower speed.  There are a variety of ways you can do this.   In the summer - just a regular walk is fine with me  LOL

Phyl, love Bob with his scarf! 26 here, high 42 with sunshine! Good 365, lots of frogs! And they were so quiet!  Yhanks for Amy's Blog, hope we get Egg #2 today!

tsk, I appreciate your little hints on physical activity! When I was working a friend and I went on walks in the building everyday. It was easy to get 10,000 steps in. walking on flat carpeted surfaces!

BL, my second car back in the early 70s was a 64 Chevy Impala, RED inside and out. I kept a case of oil in the trunk. When I pulled up to get gas at the service station we always said 'fill the oil and check the gas'. Gas was 23.9 cents a gallon. Sounds like the Tank had quite a history!

baz, about the doctor, I meant that she has me taking Atorvastatin, a low dose aspirin, and Ozympic. All to prevent any calcium bits from causing a stroke.

Lisa, this bridge picture popped up in FB, what do you think?  :o At least on your bridge you have water beneath!
The Aizhai Bridge is a suspension bridge on the G65 Baotou–Maoming Expressway near Jishou, Hunan, China.

Just came across this and thought it was perfectly said!!!
They call us ”The Elderly”
We were born in the 40-50-60’s.
We grew up in the 50-60-70's.
We studied in the 60-70-80's.
We were dating in the 70-80-90's.
We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's.
We venture into the 80-90’s.
We stabilize in the 2000’s.
We got wiser in the 2010’s.
And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.
Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades...
TWO different centuries...
TWO different millennia...
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long-distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.
We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App.
From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, colour TV and then to 3D HD TV.
We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans.
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric.
Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as “exennials”; people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We've kind of “Seen-It-All”!
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to “CHANGE”.
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!
-Author unknown
Keep on keeping on!


My sister re-posted this and I love it!

Whenever young people in my city constantly respond to adults concerned about over and ugly development destroying structurally sound homes  they say: "Old people are just afraid of change"

I'm now going to post above!....LOL....they know not how much we've been capable of change. They just use that "expression afraid of change" cause they want more ugly apartments, more bike lanes etc.

No bounce

Would appreciate prayers for the families of 2 police officers and 1 paramedic shot and killed this morning in a Twin Cities suburb. Preliminary reports say the officers were killed while responding to a domestic and the paramedic was killed while trying to save an officer.  >:(  :'(  :'(
There may be at least one other officer shot also. The scene is still active. Prayers for the family of the shooter also.
UPDATE... just learned the 3rd officer has also died.  >:(

Tig, i have always heard that police hate responding to domestic violence calls!   Among the most dangerous!   Wonder how the victim ofthe initial violence is!

Tsk, the vibrator is an addition to the usual treatment!  Added recently!    How was the turkey?  Never thought about cooking on in a slow cooker!

Clynn, love the picture of the family with the water and the Chicago skyline in the background!  So pretty!   Delightful tree stump sprouting  Spring tulips!  Have to look around and see it I have one!  Do not think so as most were ground away!

The story about the elderly did not go back far enough for me and Clynn’s mother!  Probably a few others on the Beak!    Time marched on and change  continues!   Some great and others  not so good!



My friends in Springfield are just recovering from a virus that is going around in Central Illinois!   Very contagious, fevers, cold symptoms, body aches, abdominal upset. Coughing, not type a or b flu, not rsv and not covid.
 Lasts 5 to 10 days.   Hope Lani and Mike are not coming down with this nasty thing.

It appears the one news outlet misspoke about the 3rd officer, at least at this time.
Recent post from CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/18/us/burnsville-minnesota-officers-shooting/index.html

Just an FYI to amend earlier. I won't dwell on it here.

KB    Love that angel... :'(

KB   Turkey good and will repeat tonight with different sides.  Had enough to freeze for another meal down the road.   So many of those strange unidentified viruses going around.  Many involving coughing.

LANI    I hope you never run out of these "pontifical" pets.   Hysterical   ;D ;D ;D   So nice those chicks will have each other when parents are off nest...Good to hear you are both rested for today.

2 officers killed and 1 paramedic killed.....several more officers are at Level 1 Trauma Centers.

Suspect killed himself.

Let's hope and pray they recover.

Ollie and I attempted our walk but returned home after just a few blocks. I was wearing tennis shoes but shocked how much ice there was on the road down our first hill turn.

Walked back past my house to check out another block: Nope too much ice, even with yaktrax on.

Will wait for more melting tomorrow hopefully.

Tragic about the two officers and paramedic.
And, thanks for the update on 3rd officer ---praying he/she with the
others injured recover.

One can bet that 'thin blue line'
American flag will fly high and long.

There's a lot I could say---suffice to say this grieves me deeply.
Of course, will add to personal prayer lists.

Lisa, my Mom has 2 PBS stations where she is and they both air a lot of British shows. She is hooked on Call the Midwife, Doc Martin (the Dr. that faints at the site of blood), Midsomer Murders and All Creatures Great and Small. I haven't heard of Portofino! Have you heard of Pie in the Sky? It's a British detective show, we binge watched it when we were at Cathy's last year, on Acorn.

Prayers for the families of the fallen policemen and paramedic. So senseless. Domestic violence calls are dangerous... probably more so than robberies or muggings.

tsk, thank you for the phrase 'pontifical pets'! I kept rummaging around in my head trying to figure out what to call them!  Lani has found the Motherload! Yay!

Lani, thank you for the Albie update, they give us such good information and videos! Love those big birds!

Howdy Beakers!  :)



Prayers for the fallen and injured and their loved ones in the Twin Cities today.   Domestic violence calls are considered among the most dangerous kind. Remember that the rich, the poor, the young, the old, the professionals, the street people, all races, colors, genders, religions, and nationalities have been victims of, or perpetrators of, domestic violence. It knows no neighborhood type.



Clynn, the E&S family trip pics are all wonderful - they are all having a great time!!  :D Congrats to The Norths on their egglet #2 today!! And love the pics from the SWFL nest!  :-* :-* Glad your doc has you all set!! Oh, that bridge!! Whenever I see incredible constructs of engineering like that, I almost always have this thought, "That's incredible! I wonder how many people died building that." I wish I didn't think about that, but I do.  ::)

TSK, your turkey meal sounded so yummy. You will have a lot of choices of meals with the leftovers, too.  :)

Lisa, I figured you got some snow. I was wondering what my "greats" got at their house, but don't know. It was windy here, too. That cuppa tea in your morning post is calling me today!  :)

E4E, I was watching the weather for near your part of CA on TV this morning. Is it raining a lot at your house? I hope this new system won't be as bad as the recent ones before, and hope no damage at your place either..

Karen, ugh on the dizzies. Hope you get in to your doc soon for a fix. Hugs. The little one at SWFL this year seems to be growing up faster than ever! Talons crossed for continuing good news there for the rest of this nesting season, and a great fledge!  :-*

Lani, ugh on the colds, but glad you and Mike had a restful night, and hope you're all well soon!  :-*  Yay for our teams yesterday!!  :D



My whole-body inflammatory flare-up has finally subsided. Yay!!  :D  WOOT! , eee-vennn.  ;D  But I will be on my doc's front step when they unlock the door in the morning - 'cause this UTI has gotta go! "I gotta go!" is the phrase of the weekend at my house... in every aspect.  ;) ;) ;D 8)



Take care, All. (((Hugs)))   :-*

CLYNN   They had a lot of test drive runs at the Auto show.  Wonder if they took any of them.  Lines were probably long!  This was the first year Tesla was there...  Hey.  thanks for the new on the second Decorah north egg.  Right on schedule!!

Tsk  'Mr.s Bates..."  https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/mr-bates-vs-the-post-office/ (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/mr-bates-vs-the-post-office/) I was gonna forward my PBS news letter---but lost all my Contacts as Outlook keeps interfering and out of frustration I click to deny People folder access.' Poof"
 Right now I don't know what to do. Nothing I've found online seems to help.  Later I will restart and see if that helps if not I'll have to call Geek Squad. ' Ain't one thing---it's another.'

CLynn  many thanks for update on North nest and  SWFL .more great snaps of the car show. looks like the Munchkins have picked out their future car.
We've been watching Doc Martin & Midsomer from beginning the DVD sets are great.

{{Tig}} Wish I'd remember about your brother/Dad in the police force it's easy to understand how you feel. The world has gone off it's axis. Do you have the 'Blue Line' flag? Would you like for me to post one,  here?

Well, time to get dinner for us and chow for the MagPie  :-* :-*

Phyl, chilly 365, interesting how the ducks tuck in and just bob around in the water. Thanks for Amy's Blog, 2 precious eggs in the North nest! Mt. Rushmore, perfect for Presidents Day! Washington and Lincoln both attending!

Lani, I remember one time when we were at Becky's, we binge watched 6 episodes of Broadchurch. We just couldn't stop!  Very peaceful good night pic...

Phyl, I agree, Doc Martin is very quirky but he kind of grows on you! I find his aversion to blood a great twist to the show, who ever heard of such a phobia for a doctor! Sorry to hear of your computer troubles, it almost makes one afraid to click on anything! I have one email I started getting, something about investments, and everytime I click on unsubscribe one of those dangerous page messages pops up. So I close it, can't stop it!

baz, hope you get what you need at the doctor's today and the UTI disappears fast! No fun! Thanks for the Flower Cows, those girls are beautiful!

Lisa, per the doctor, the meds prescribed are to keep plaque from forming in the arteries... which can lead to a stroke if any breaks loose and travels to a vital place.

@Rainmaker1973
The story of the unusual friendship between a female grey wolf and a male brown bear. They were spotted every night for 10 days straight, spending several hours together between 8pm to 4am. They would even share food together.

Finnish photographer Lassi Rautiainen observed them and took several photos of the unusual meetings. No-one can know exactly why or how the young wolf and bear became friends.

Perhaps they were both alone and they were young and a bit unsure of how to survive alone.

Other fun pics in the thread of replies.

Morning all....

We both got up early, 4am,  so Chris decided to upgrade our wifi connection to our 5G network so the camera streamed better....

What a job esp. as we had to find/use my very old Macbook as the camera is old, and work out of the cold garage where the camera usb connection is....BRRR. Took several hours.

Warming up and moving on....

Poor old female doggo across the street can barely walk anymore for the last 6 months or so. Owner walks her up the street and sad to watch her get stuck in the snow etc...Don't know how old she is but I've seen her for at least 12 years or more. :( :(

CLynn I have experience the same with email,  virus /Pishing.  I had to have Geek Squad out.  What does Erin say?   Did you do a virus scan?   'Doc Martin' is very well written and thought out. Yeah. The whole 'blood thing' ---who knew?  Interesting snaps in your AM post---Crowley Lake in California and Nambia. Nature  ;)

Tsk I know very little about computers and generally I'm too afraid to do much. Sometime today after I get caught up on '40-11' emails. I'll see if I
can find  Windows 'System Restore'   and do an earlier date .

KB  wonderful photo of bear and shewolf. Nice story too.  Your story about the old dog on your street--do they not care!?  Don't they know about  Cosequin for dogs?   A person would be reluctant to say a word as some  folks see it as meddling and get very angry.

She lives in an apartment building that allows dogs. I therefore don't know her.

Yes, I lost a friend some years ago. I took care of her dogs; stayed at her home; over a weekend.

Phyl, I have used cosequin for dogs in the past.  It it has been available for a long time.  My experience with it has not been veryhood.    Not bad, just not as good as I expected.  The secret is to start this before you know you needit!  Dog, like many ofus has arthritis and might benefit from pain meds of some kind.   I cannot judge the owner but many dogs have towalj a certain length of time in order to potty!  With old fogs, habits continue thru age!   Do not know if she could be pee pad. Trained at this stage.   God bless tge owner and the dog!

Clynn, interesting pictures this morning!   The bird house almost looks like a coo-coo  clock in progress!

E 23  has been practicing survival skills this morning.  Has been picking up amd putting down nestovers with his/her talon And  eating the pieces .  Picking some up with the beak!  A little windy at the nest and feathers  are  fluffing up in the gusts!

Lost another friend in January!   A dear next door neighbor in Alabama!   Got an e mail from her daughter last night snd then we talked!   She died from the after affects of covid!

Oh my Tig....so it was about her, not the dog...

Recall I had a very old dog, Walter, who lived to be 16 1/2....he was fine until about 16 he started getting "confused" for lack of a better word. Things like staring in a corner but physically he was average. I know I thought to myself at the time and I didn't know that about myself: I can't play God and take his life.

However, I was in weekly to monthly conversations with his then vet about this process. He told me to ask Walter to let me know when he (Water) was ready. I did and I trusted it. Not more than a few months later he slipped on ice and really injured his shoulder. Walter DID let me know it was time. So I relented to putting him to sleep in my arms at home.

It's tough but each dog is different and the relationship with it's owner I assume different as well.

I do feel bad she can't just let her older dog go out the back door into a fenced in back yard to do it's business.

Something to consider I guess when raising a dog in an apartment. I know Walter was my incentive to leave my so called luxury townhome at the time and buy a home. Which I did...Didn't seem right to have one that big in an apartment. The lady across the street owns a dog about the same size as my Walter. :(

{Hi Tig} I know some can't seem to say 'Good-Bye' to sick pets.  Great idea on defensive driving refresher course---I'm sure I could benefit
from  that---LOL.  Hope you get your bounce back soon.

BL said some people here watch British TV shows..... I just watched "This is going to Hurt" and it was fantastic. I highly recommend it.
If anyone is into horror and doesn't mind subtitles, the S.Korean movie "The Wailing" was unbelievable. It's the type of movie that when you watch the ending, you want to re-watch it immediately, which I did.
I've run out of good American TV shows (oxymoron perhaps) so I'm now going to other countries. Any suggestions?

HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

This has been a very busy day! And I am on my way to the kitchen for special treats, so this will be short, LOLOL!!

I walked 37 minutes today. Yay!

I was on my doc's doorstep when they unlocked the door this morning, as I planned. One person was in front of me, and four other people walked in over the next 5 minutes after I checked in. I didn't have an appt and was going on a prayer and a wish that I would be seen, and without waiting too terribly long. My wish came true! LOL. They called me back 10 minutes after I arrived and took my info right away, and the doc came in to see not 1 minute later. I gave them what they needed  ;)  and they gave me what I needed, and I was out of there less than a half hour after I walked in their door! Woot! I went to the pharmacy straight from the doc's office. It wasn't open yet, but they opened the door maybe 3 minutes after I got there. I had my medicine and was out the door 15 minutes later!!! It all went so swimmingly well, that I immediately went and bought a lottery ticket for tonight's Powerball drawing.  ;D ;D ;D  If you never hear from me after tonight, just know I am living the good life somewhere warm, luxurious, and by the sea.  ;D  8)


Have a safe and good evening, All. Peace. SED.

Phyl - 365 in Switzerland - brrrr!

Kb - Beautiful awesome photo of the brown bear and grey wolf - such a special duo!!   Wow, you & Chris were up early! So good of Chris to upgrade your wifi connection and it will be so nice to have a better streaming camera. :) :)

Karen - Sad about your friend passing in January from Covid, but so nice that you were able to talk with her daughter for a while.   Oh no, hope Piper is okay. :-*

LisaG - Hope you & Jeff and kitties have had a nice day. :)

Lani - Sorry to hear about your hiking buddy having to say good-bye to his precious sweet doggie last Thursday. :'( :'(

BL - Thank you for link regarding Crowley Lake Reservoir! Good info!

mich-pip - Interesting program info - thank you!

Baz - Good for you in having a nice & timely visit to the Doctor and then to the Pharmacy! :)   Darling pics of your littlest GN & her baby bro! 8)

PHYL   That was an amazing story about Lincoln.  I did not know most of that.  That photo is eerie  :o :o

KAREN   I remember that first seizure..Smart vet.  Wish mine had been as smart.  I really don't think Lucy had to be on seizure meds most of her life just from 1 incident we described to vet..  New vet took her off and no problem for two years!!!    Lots of funerals, weddings being streamed these days - Think it mostly started with Covid and continued.

BAZI   You are so funny.   The stars were definitely aligned for you today - a miracle in my estimation that the day went so smoothly!!  Tim was put in a room at ortho and 45 min later went to find nurse to ask if he had wrong day as no one had come to see him yet. LOLOL   Enjoy your big lottery win tonight - a good day to buy a ticket!   Thanks for letting us know where you will be   ;) ;)   Those kids are so cute and really learning not to fear water at this young age.

Sunday nights were made for moving Marshall Amps and Rock-N-Roll.

Jumbo and I moved multiple tons over the years.  :)

We always kicked back and really listened to the Monday Night shows, they in our ears were almost always the best ones.

A gentleman I have not seen in 25 years sat next to Pip & I's hearth this eve. Very way cool and unexpected. Played a 12 string guitar and sang like a chorus. Perfect is not strong enough of a word.
~ Insert jaws dropped here ~

Perks of having moved very securely very valuable musical equipment.  :)

The worlds finest tequila was only had by the fire tender and the picker _ He said straight laced and serious where's the worm.   8)

I have to go now as we're still looking for pips jaw last seen singing to the Llamas.   

She's outside dancing. I love it.   :-*

All outside have been now accounted for at an ambient air temperature of 20° F.

The fire outside I don't know about for sure .. as we finally found a worthy bottle of tequila with a worm in it on the shelf.

It's pretty toasty I do here tell at the outside fire ring .. about 45° F at 25' out.

Tsk, yes, I love the tenderness between mama sloth and baby.  :-* .. oh no, poor Tim. I don't blame him for checking with the desk... I hope Tim had a good doctor's appt after that long wait.

Eagles, the weather goes from 33 in the morning when Sadie and I head out the door at 6:45am to 62 by mid afternoon. The days have been lovely. We have clouds coming our way by the end of this week. Sadie and I never miss a day, rain, sleet or snow, we leave about 15 minutes before sunrise.  ;D ... our friends who lost their big ole boy last week, use Chewy Pharmacy too. They called Chewy to cancel Dresden special diet food and return the new unopened box of food they just received. Chewy told them to donate the box of food and they reimbursed their account. Sent them cards and today they sent a dozen beautiful tulips.

{{{Karen and Piper}}} How nice they sent you a link to the service.. :) .. i'm sorry to hear Piper had another seizure. :(  I hope you both get a good and restful night's sleep. So tomorrow will be a good day.

Mich-Pip, I love watching British shows. That's all I stream anymore.... Thank you for the series suggestion. How do you watch it? Amazon Prime? I don't mind subtitles at all, I use cc all the time. I have terrible hearing....

Baz, Glad you were able to get what you needed from the doc! The kids look wonderful, and what fun to enjoy the pool in the middle of winter!  ;D ... Well, just in case we never hear from you again. Congratulations on your big win! It's been real nice knowing you!  ;D Many best wishes and Safe travels for you and Zippo!   8)

BL, Great music, Thanks! SED to Pip too!

Good night!

CALLA LILY VALLEY, Garrapata Beach, Carmel-By-The-Sea, California, USA It is the most surreal spot along the Pacific Coast Highway, boasting thousands of lilies during the spring season. Just a 2-hour drive from San Francisco and 20 minutes south of Carmel-By-The-Sea, it's easily accessible. The best time to visit is from early January to the end of April, after the rainy season, making it a photographer's paradise, especially before sunset.
Despite being called lilies, Calla lilies are not true lilies, but a a flowering genus of twenty-eight species originating in Africa and growing mostly in marshy areas. They bloom in late spring, and the word "Calla" comes from the Greek term for beautiful. It's worth noting that Calla lily roots are poisonous, along with the entire plant.

Eagles4 - Have you seen this live? ....hmm, the Calla lilies, not the rooster, LOL

Good Morning Everyone.... ! 

Currently for Tuesday, Music City USA  34F cloudy    High  64F  mostly sunny,  Low 34F clear 

Lani your sloths at Toucan Ranch have had some difficult issues ;awesome mini galaxy

Tsk hope Tim is feeling better and his doc apt went well

Karen  sad to read Piper had another seizure.  Hoping the meds help her and give you some peace of mind.  I had a straight-face Persian "Samantha'  for over 11yrs  who developed epilepsy  at an early age. She took anti-seizure meds for years from on set.  Then out of the 'blue' no more seizures/no more meds.  ;)

Mich-Pip Thanks for the shows suggestion. British comedy is the very best followed by American comedy; French and Italian films are a nice change.
However, the British do everything better.  ;)
KB
awesome rooster; lovely lilies

Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people.  Twin Cities suburb- Minneapolis  ;  Lakewood Church community, Texas;  All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere .

Phyl, 31 here now, high 57 today! Predicting 71 for Monday! Good 365, beautiful scenery and loved the heron taking a bath! I agree, Btitish comedy is great, my sisters and I all love the Monty Python movies too! The comedy in The Search for the Holy Grail, The Llife of Brian and The Meaning of Life are all hysterical! These days I oive the murder mysteries...  Love the Lincoln article, and one thing I love about Springfield - Lincoln memorabilia everywhere! Ed's oldest sister is somewhat of a historian on Lincoln.

Lani, again, I would love to go on your morning walks with Sadie. Wishing comfort for your friend who lost her furry friend...I read on FB thar Jody had to let Amari go and I just had to post my condolences. Chewey is so easy to deal with, one time I ordered Harley's prescription food wrong, I ordered the regular instead of the moderate calorie and asked how to return it. They told me to donate it and sent me the correct food for free. And this food is over $100 a bag!

BL, oh the great music you posted! Okay, were you a Roadie earlier in life? Sounds like a good time was had by all, glad you got to meet up with an old friend!

baz, boy, you hit the jackpot of good luck at the doctor's office! Love the pics of the wet kids!

It's a Minnesota thing  · Niagara Cave cave, in a cornfield, who would have never guessed that there were underground caves! Legend has it that it was discovered by farmers after the three little pigs got lost. Then it was developed into a tourist attraction. Located on the border of MN and IA, two hours from Twin Cities and one hour from Rochester.

LANI   Tim has two trigger fingers he will have tended to..sigh.   How special of Chewy to be so kind to your hiking friend.

Lani, Chewy does a Nice job.   Hope you and Sadie had a great walk this morning!   Surprised to read that you have a hearing loss.  Do you have hrating aids?  I have some but like everyone else, I do not think they mdo much!

Kb, beautiful Calla Lily Valley! Just stunning.... Handsome Rooster and YAY Mr Tower!

Phyl, Yes, the endangered sloths have serious medical issues. Also, it saddens me that the 3-Toe Sloths cannot seem to survive beyond a few months old. So far, none have survived at this Costa Rica rescue.  :'(  I'm sure they are studies being conducted about that. I just love their precious bandit-like faces. Thank you for reading my update on the Sloth TV thread.... Beautiful Kingfisher and Egret....

Clynn, Love the Potted Wreath! .... I'm sorry to hear the sad news about Jody's Amari  :'( ... I'll post a note on her FB... Dresden's special kidney diet food was over $100 too. And yes, Chewy is easy to deal with.... interesting about Niagara Cave in a cornfield, looks spooky.  ;D

📺 SLOTH TV - they name the baby sloths after their rescuers.  ;D

🦥Sloth Preschool Update: :-*

Moose, two-fingered sloth: Stable and active. Gaining weight and healthy all-around. He is finally growing in some adult hair!

Mimi, two-fingered sloth: Mimi is officially spending her nights out of the incubator with the other babies! She has been a lot more active and gaining confidence as she navigates life with one hand.

Grover, two-fingered sloth: Grover is growing well and nearing 1-kilogram, meaning he will be graduating to Sloth Elementary soon! Stable and gaining weight.

Nazli, two-fingered sloth: The wound on Nazli’s nose finally healed and she finished her nebulization treatments! While her prognosis is still reserved, she is gaining weight and doing much better than when she first arrived. She is also now spending her nights outside of the incubator!

JJ, two-fingered sloth: JJ is stable and growing well, but has to remain separated from his classmates, as he arrived with a case of mites. We are actively treating him with clorhexadine baths and mite medication.

NEW ARRIVAL Beanie, two-fingered sloth: Beanie was found alone on the ground, covered in bite wounds from a dog attack. We suspect there may be internal injuries to her hind limbs, as she has limited function. In need of a CT scan with a reserved prognosis at this time.

NEW ARRIVAL Fiesta, two-fingered sloth: Fiesta was found alone, abandoned by her mother with her umbilical cord still attached. She is in need of a CT scan to investigate some unusual findings in her x-rays. She has a reserved prognosis at this time.

NEW ARRIVAL Bruno, two-fingered sloth: This tiny newborn was found on the ground abandoned. Our newest arrival is spending most of his time in an incubator with a reserved prognosis at this time.

🌳Sloth Elementary Update: :-*

Ken, two-fingered sloth: Ken is growing quickly! He is now at the top of his class and right on track to head to Sloth University–only 200 grams away!

Phoenix, two-fingered sloth: Still slightly underweight, but he is stable, active, and growing. We have increased his feedings in an attempt to give him a chance to catch up to his classmates.

Roo, two-fingered sloth: Roo is spending nights in an outdoor enclosure and is eating exclusively leaves. Once he hits 1.5 kilograms, he will be ready to graduate to Sloth University!

GRADUATE Elmo, two-fingered sloth: Elmo has officially hit 1 kilogram and graduated to Sloth Elementary! He is transitioning onto a smoothie and leaf diet.

GRADUATE Binx, two-fingered sloth: Binx is also now over 1 kilogram and ready to continue her rehabilitation journey! And we have more good news–Binx received a clean bill of health from the cardiologist! We will continue to monitor her for any abnormalities, but for now she is stable and growing well.

🎓Sloth University Update: :-*

Coco, two-fingered sloth: The largest of our sloth graduates, Coco will likely be the first to be rewilded. She is stable and currently in one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures.

Pax, two-fingered sloth: Growing fast and preparing to be rewilded. Currently in one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures.

Antonio, two-fingered sloth: Antonio has finally caught up to his classmates in weight! He is stable and growing well.

Myrtle, two-fingered sloth: Stable and gaining weight. Competing with Antonio and Spike to see who will be the next to go into a pre-release enclosure.

Spike, two-fingered sloth: Stable and gaining weight. Competing with Antonio and Myrtle to see who will be the next to go into a pre-release enclosure.

🥀In Loving Memory:  :'(  - My question: why are the 3-fingered sloths survival rate so low? So far, none have lived beyond a few months old since I've been following for almost 2 years.  :'(

Fergus, three-fingered sloth: We are devastated to share that despite nebulization treatments, Fergus succumbed to pneumonia. This is the reality of working with baby sloths with unknown life histories.

A friendly reminder: We are a critical care facility - Even though you do not see this on camera, the animals are under 24/7 vet care.

tsk - Cute morning greeting!  Sorry to hear about Tim's trigger fingers. 

((Puff)) - Thinking of you today.  :-*

clynn - Love the flowerpot wreath. I have had the same similar experience with Chewy.  I agree very easy to deal with when something isn't right. Have you ever seen the documentary Decoding the Driftless?  The caves you mentioned remind me of something from the documentary.

Phyl - Thanks for the 365, love Kingfishers. 

kb - Wow, the Calla lilies, beautiful...and the rooster, too.  :D

Lani - How nice of Chewy to send flowers to your friends on the passing of their pup.  What?!?!  Given up wine and chocolate!

tig - Wow, that is a long time.  I hope it is worth the discount.
 
E4E - Thank you, and I hope you and Kris had a nice day, too. 

baz - So happy to hear the doc got you in, and gave you what you needed.  Aww, cute pic of the lil greats!

BAZI   You are so funny.   The stars were definitely aligned for you today - a miracle in my estimation that the day went so smoothly!!  Tim was put in a room at ortho and 45 min later went to find nurse to ask if he had wrong day as no one had come to see him yet. LOLOL   Enjoy your big lottery win tonight - a good day to buy a ticket!   Thanks for letting us know where you will be   ;) ;)   Those kids are so cute and really learning not to fear water at this young age.

TSK, I have had that exact same experience you described Tim having at a doc office before! OMG, it should never happen that way!! But, LOL, yes, I think I had a charmed day yesterday! It made me smile and laugh - like this cartoon did!  ;D

 ;D ;D



Oh, P.S. TSK, the kids started swim lessons very young, and continue them. They have spent a lot of time at beaches and lakes in several states, and go to pools often - they are little fish - like my sisters and I were when we were growing up... water lovers, All.  :D :-* :-*

Sunday nights were made for moving Marshall Amps and Rock-N-Roll.

Jumbo and I moved multiple tons over the years.  :)

We always kicked back and really listened to the Monday Night shows, they in our ears were almost always the best ones.

A gentleman I have not seen in 25 years sat next to Pip & I's hearth this eve. Very way cool and unexpected. Played a 12 string guitar and sang like a chorus. Perfect is not strong enough of a word.

Perks of having moved very securely very valuable musical equipment.  :)

The worlds finest tequila was only had by the fire tender and the picker.

I have to go now as we're still looking for pips jaw last seen singing to the Llamas.   :-*

Dancing I love it.

All outside still now have been now accounted for at an ambient air temperature of 20° F.

The fire outside I don't know about for sure.

It's pretty toasty I here tell. 45° at 20'.

Nice, BL. :-*

LANI   What a surprise - those eagles on Seal island  ;D    So interesting that the 3 toed sloths are not surviving after rescue.  It's so sad to hear about all those abandoned sloths.         LOLOL  "Hanging on by a thread"...I'd be dead by now.  ;D ;D   You do have a busy week - only a busy Thurs and Friday for me.  Good luck with the speech!

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D


(((PUFF))), in remembrance of all the years of love and fun you had with Ton.  :-* :-*

Lani, (((the baby sloths and their loving caretakers)))  :-* :-* You are way busy!! Hang in there! I sure hope the Easter Bunny delivers an Easter morning basket to you filled with chocolate eggs, and a nice bottle of wine tucked into the grass next to them.  :D

TSK, so sorry about Tim having the finger issues. Hope he gets improvement with treatment. Kingfishers are so cool to watch - I just love them. I'm very lucky that I get to watch a resident Kingfisher dive for food every day in the retention pond next to me. I stop and watch regularly - it never gets old.  :-* Nice day for your walk!

Clynn, I want to join you and Lani on that walk with Sadie in her woods at sunrise!  :)

Karen, I'm glad to hear ((Piper)) recovers quickly, and he is doing well!  :-* :-*

Lisa, I think Spring is just about to bust out with some buds on trees here, like in your picture today!  :)  How's your mom doing - more comfortable sitting yet? Spring weather and flowers will help her feel even better soon, I hope!  :D  When do you expect to get another "fix" with Sydney? I hope soon!  :-*

BL, doggone it, I am now allergic to llamas  ::) :(  ... even so, I would probably just risk it and go along with Pip for a few llama kisses, too! Kind of hard to resist!  ;) :D :-* :-*

Oldguy, did you slay at cards this past weekend? Maybe I missed your report?  Hope you don't over-do getting all the Spring arrivals set up at the store! I bet people are itching to hit the Garden Center section there soon!  :)



Have a Good Day, and Keep Smiling, Beakers!  :)

Tsk - Bummer for the time spent for Tim having to wait to be seen. ::)

Tig - Okay, I should have remembered what that course is all about - thank you!

Lani - You are dedicated to your little Sadie for those early morning walks!   I am still so sorry for your friend's loss of their big 'ole sweet doggy.   Thank you for the Sloth status - a lot of good info.

Kb - No I have not been to Garrapata Beach for the Calla Lillies - I will need to get over there sometime!   Like how Ollie alerted you to Mr. Tower circling above! :)

BL - What a great evening with the gentleman you hadn't seen in such a long time - bet it was fun to listen to him play his 12-String!!  Tequila! ;D

Phyl - I know you were speaking to Karen, but I am so happy that Maggie didn't have to stay on the medication and didn't have any more seizures. :)    Thanks for 365; liked Egret, Kingfisher & Heron.

Clynn - Like all your morning gifs - always so happy & uplifting.   I also can't say enough wonderful things about Chewy - t[/size]hey are great!

Karen - Hope you & Piper had a good day  :)

LisaG - Hope all is good with family and pets! :) :)

Baz - Lol! Teacher's brownies and Pink Floyd  ;D

Beakers have a good night - keep safe & warm.

BAZI   Love the play on "horseshoes"  ;)

KB   Yes a beautiful scene in Otsego.  Such a good eye for composition.

Prayers please for  my Milwaukee Bro's wife, Margaret.  Long story - but had a liver biopsy yesterday and that night back in the ER with pain blurred vision and strange behavior.   Her  BP had bottomed out.  A bleed at the biopsy site filling abdomen which caused the pain- needed blood.  Admitted.  Is supposed to have a cancerous tumor removed from her kidney Friday - Likely may be postponed.  She and my bro are never sick!  Had to change docs as current one retired.  New doc noticed a high Cholesterol and did the new CT scan procedure for the heart to find calcium - heart is great!  However found the tumor and the questionable liver.  God bless this new doctor.  Day by day.  Thanks for the prayers that all works out for them.

Phyl, Piper is not on anti seizure meds.  Vet said  it is not  medically recommended at this time!   Will have blood work done when it is time for her  vaccines with this in mind. She recovers quickly and seems fine.

That's wonderful news. I'm relieved she's fine and quickly recovers. {{{ Karen/Piper}}}   from me and purrs from Maggie

CLynn  fantastic Niagara Cave cave; Monty Python was telecast when we lived at the Kaiser Steel mine in Calif. and had no premium cable TV---just cable. It wasn't until the '80s and I subscribed to Comcast in Mo that I watched it---what  a hoot!!  Have you ever watched 'Blackadder'  series w/ Rowan Atkinson? Chatting w/Ed's sister about Pres.A. Lincoln and Spfld. would be so interesting .

Tsk charming kitty wake up this AM; Tim's nurse likes to tease :) hope all went well;  And  of course will pray for y our brother and his wife Margaret. Thanks be to God for the new Doc.

KB how cool to see Mr. Tower---one can never see too eagles.  ;)  Lovely photo of Otsego, MN by Keith Christensen.

Lani thanks for the Seal Island update/photos how great was that --eagles; I wish I had leash trained my cats---a horrendous task---walking Sadie, special quiet time I'm sure; Today's 365 was wonderful to watch -those lovely birds, E, H and K; such a busy week, be sure to 'breathe'.  ;)

Eagles in my post to Karen I was talking about Samantha, my black straight-faced Persian. She  was born in 1983 and died in 2000 from kidney failure.
My little Maggie is  age 22 yrs or 100 cat years---has stage 3 heart murmur and level 2 kidney disease---by God's generosity she's doing quite well and still 'in the game'.  :)

Baz, sorry, No Powerball this time! Next time! Go Tarheels!  ;D .. We had naptime at Pearl Harbor Elementary, but we listened to "ZIP-A-DEE-DOO-DAH" and drank guava juice. ;D.. yes, I'm looking forward to my Trader Joe Easter Basket!  ;)

Kb, stunning photo by Keith Christensen. That would make a great puzzle.

Eagles, Depending on Sadie's mood, our morning walks or part jog or sometimes hike gives me lots of energy for the day. Clears my head too.

{{{Oh Tsk}}}, I am very sorry to hear about your SIL Margaret's serious illness. For sure prayers being sent, candle being lit... God Bless the new doctor! Prayers for your Mil {{{Bro and Margaret.}}}

Lani, you are not weak! You are a strong woman to say the least! You gave up 2 of your favorite things! I may be wrong, but isn't only one required?  ;D Keep that cheese close! What is usually in a Trader Joe's Easter Basket? I may have to go look! You and Sadie walk for each other, that's love. Hope Mike and the girls are doing well!

Phyl, ah, the Cane Ridge Bluebirds! A new season is about to start! No, I haven't seen Blackadder, I will give it a try!   My soul cat, Bogey, was born in 1987 and also died in 2000 from kidney failure. We still miss them, don't we...Maggie is a Trooper, you have taken such good care of her! I read the other day of a cat that lived to be 30...  Thanks for the 365 and Amy's Blog! Great closeup of the duck, on the airplane, in the air? Is that possible? Cheers for your Betty Crocker day!

tsk, prayers for your SIL Margaret and your brother.  Thank goodness for the new doctor! It just makes one wonder how many things are missed, not that the retired doctor wasn't a good doctor, but... My Mom might have died if not for Jennifer, the RN in our family. Not everyone has a Jennifer at hand. I had to send her all of the medical information regarding the issue with my eye so she could approve...

baz, I am still chuckling over the teacher and the brownies and Pink Floyd! And the horses playing boots!

Lisa, I hope you get a Sydney fix soon! I sure miss having Bella on Wednesdays, but at least I will have both of them this summer! Your Mom sounds like she is easing back into her active life!

Berry College - We have a second egg in this second clutch! Egg #2 arrived tonight, 2/20, at 8:05pm.

This is the Painted Wall in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison near Montrose, Colorado. After the Gunnison River cut the canyon the huge piece of rock was lifted so the river is above the nearby Uncompaghre River valley. The power/energy required to lift the entire piece of the earth is just beyond comprehension.

Royal Albatross - 2/20 Weigh Day
Colin weighed the chicks this morning with their Dads watching on. Yes there was changeovers at both TF & TFT nests.

Read Sharyn's update for the chicks weights, info about the imminent post guard stage esp. for TF chick & health checks.

The parents are trusting and patient while chick is being handled by ranger.  :-*

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Phyl, sweet deer and then there's the wolf ... thanks for Amy's blog...

Clynn, my Trader Joe Easter basket will have treats for Sadie, cats, wine/cheese/chocolate almonds/blueberry scones for me! I'll share the almonds with Mike. 8) ... Mike and the girls are busy and doing well.... congratulations to Berry College... like your morning pics... glad you have an RN in your family too {{{Jennifer}}}.

Tsk, I think Mike's last trip wore him out. He's not anxious to leave anytime soon, not even to Gila Bend. But, he has the plants well-organized and he trusts the staff. They keep in contact with him throughout the day.

{{{Karen and Piper}}} I pray all goes well at your appt. And Piper's doing well too.

Eagles, I hope you're post will work for you today. I have trouble trying to change my good night post. I can't change the font size to 12. The top part will change to 12, but not below the candle pic. I'll work it out when I have more time.

Lisa, I think we're going to have an early spring too. Which means a long summer, not happy about that....  I wish it was Indian Summer year round. LOL!

Kb, beautiful Screech Owl looks so cozy.  :-* ... enjoy your walk.

You can keep an eye on the progress of Spring with this handy tool.

Lani it looks like Payson is on course to be about No Difference if not a touch Late on the First leaf index.
LisaG 14 Days Early is marching steadily north towards you/us.
Baz is 7 Days Early.
KarenG you were right at No difference to 1 Day late in Valdosta, GA.
Phyl's in Memphis, TN your about 9 days early.

Bring on the Blue Birds.   8)

Quote

How often do we see a spring this early or late?

How typical is this year’s spring? Darker colors represent springs that are unusually early or late in the long-term record. Gray indicates an average spring.

The Sacramento Valley as well as coastal areas of Northern California, Oregon, and Washington are seeing the earliest spring leaf out on record.

Note that the Spring Leaf Index is based on heat accumulation and may have less relevance in water-limited systems like California and the Southwest. Precipitation may play a larger role in the phenology of plants in these areas.

Good Albi report ! Thanks Lani.  Super Easter Basket and nice to include Sadie and the Kitties!   I worked with a man once who bragged that they bought his young children under ware and put it in the basket!  We asked, candy?  No just undies!   Mean Easter Bunny!  No little toys or books either.
Nice website BL!   Think it is spring here already!   
MD said my vertigo was pretty severe today!  Treated both sides and said I should come back in 2 weeks even if I do not feel dizzy!   Msde the appointment!   Warned about dental and beauty shoo appointments!   Now to keep my head straight for at least 48 hours.

Chapel Hill in person or in spirit on your sofa, in front of the tv?   Either way . Good luck to the tar heels!
Lani, take some time to rest during your busy week!   I hope they can find an answer to the early demise of the 3 finger sloths!  They are all so sweet looking,

Karen, I will be at the game, live and in person. GO HEELS!!!  ;D

tig - How thoughtful of you and Camper.  :-*

BL - Yay!

Lani - Thanks for the Royal updates.  Your Trader Joe's Easter basket sounds perfect.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D


I rented the movie, Barbie, last night. I would've enjoyed it even more on a large screen.  :)

Yesterday I walked 45 minutes. Yay! And today I walked 34 minutes... and spied an azalea showing a few fully open pretty-in-deep-pink blooms! A group of 3 Turkey Vultures were "playing" along my walk to the kayak launch today - I really think they were out just having fun with each other  :-* flying back and forth low, almost swiping some pine tree branches, and landing on a roof, and then flying after each other and taking a ride up high, and then circling back down and swooping low right past me, and then on over to the woods by the cypress swamp. I always know that Spring is in the air for real when the birds start getting crazy silly hormonal.  ;D :-* :-* Even the Turkey Vultures!  LOL! I wish willi had been with me to see them!!  :-* :-*


Lani, your Trader Joe's Easter basket sounds like the bomb!  :D  Thanks for the great report on the Royal Albie and the chicks!  :-* :-*

Karen, I'm so glad you had a good session with your ENT today! I hope your 2-week follow-up will bring you even longer respite from that dizziness. Yep, gotta be careful putting your head back for a shampoo at the salon and the dentist's chair - and sitting back up from that!

Clynn, that is the best news for the Berry nest Eagles!!  :-* :-* :-*  I love that nest, and I am sooo happy they got a second clutch this year! And now a 2nd egglet for their 2nd clutch!! Wow!! Talons crossed they have a better rest of the season there.  :-* And WOW! on the Painted Wall at the Black Canyon! Spectacular!!

Lisa, I'm glad your momma is able to get out a bit on her own a little more... she gathers no moss!!  ;) :D  Yes, a Sydney fix is in order!!  :D :-* :-*

E4E, did you get the high winds again with this most recent "atmospheric river" that hit CA the last few days? Have you and Kris gotten your new canvas cover yet to replace the one that the other storm destroyed?

BL, thanks for the early Spring prognostications map. I can see it in person as it happens here. Nature is wondrous!  :)

TSK, oh my, I'm so sorry for your Milwaukee brother's wife, Margaret, going through all of that!! Yes, many prayers going out for her, and for her husband, and for the care team there! Hugs.


Take care, All. Peace.

TIG   What a wonderful thing to do to bring the station groceries..  Adam was one handsome guy.  What a shame.

KAREN   So your doc did the Epley maneuver?  Did it help.  Sure hard to keep your head straight!!

BAZI  An in person game - Yahoo.  Be sure to wave.

Margaret had surgery this AM to cauterize the liver vein that did not stop bleeding on its own.  When she finally got back to the room she was feeling better altho there will be some discomfort until all the blood reabsorbs into her system. .  Kidney surgery was cancelled for Friday  - no new date and still waiting on liver biopsy results.  Bro hoped they could go home tonight?  Thanks for your prayers.  :-* :-*

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024

...been eons since I've visited Memphis.



Tsk   thanks so much for Margaret's update, glad the bleeding was stopped and waiting on liver biopsy. Prayers   continue.

CLynn really enjoyed your AM post; I remember your speaking of Bogey  :-*---yes we still miss them, always. Tks for Berry College update/snaps.  ;)
Also, have you seen 'Mr. Bean'? Also w/ Rowan Atkinson---own that DVD set too.  ::) Also have you seen movie 'Green Fingers'?   2000 trailer
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzvwH5EhNTI

Tsk   lovely white owl this AM.   Oh yeah---Newman's back and with Julie and Lisa---  it's getting 'R' rated on the bluff . No surprise.

{{Karen}} glad you got some vertigo relief. I can see the dental appts  w/ drilling and repeat head movements. Hair salon appts? unless it's tilting the head back in the shampoo basin.  Hope your improvements continue.
I have a 6" titanium plate screwed in my spinal column c-3 and c6 between it and esophagus, with 6 surgical stainless steel screws , 3 on each side.  No body maneuvers my head or twists my neck ! No body---there's no way a therapist or doc  or anyone could know how that feels with all that 'hardwear'  inside my neck.   

Lisa I'm with your mom,  can't let 'issues' get one feeling down--you know?  So, when is the premier of 'Sydney: The Movie" ?  ;)   Oh yeah...Lent's all about sacrifice.  :)

KB awesome photo of Eastern Screech Owl  in Hastings, MN. 

Eagles oh the frustration of losing a post---esp when one is ready to hit 'post'.   :(

Lani many thanks for the Royal  Albie update/snaps. Really enjoy the video shorts

Dentist anspd shampoo bowl, equal head position!   Gets the calcium crystals out of their home and kinda makes one feel like they are on a wild carnival ride!  Md said my vertigo was severe.
Yes Tisk they do eply maneuver plus a vibrator on the head.  Feel better  but go back in two weeks!  phyll, I have the same rod and screws in my back!  Same metal
in stents in an aorta,  do not think of them much!
Piper thinks the bsck yard is s buffet table!  She grazes out there and  two nights ago, came in and vomited!  As the joke goes, she said, thank God, I made it to the carpet!   When I am sure the  dizzies are gone.

Baz, sounds like your walk today was entertaining! Willi would have loved it too!  :-*

{{{Camper and Tig}}} What kind and generous gesture for you both to do for Fire Department.

{{{Karen and Piper}}} Glad you were able to get some relief....Piper, no more grazing... Cats love to graze. They always miss the wood floors and hit the carpets instead....  I pray you will feel even better tomorrow.  :-*

{{{Tsk}}} Thanks for Margaret's update. So glad the bleeding has stopped, prayers for healing and comfort continue. I pray your bro is able to get some rest too. How scary for all.

Phyl, interesting about the very pretty penguin.

Eagles, I wish you all could walk with us too. The Payson High Senior night was a fun evening. It was such a positive evening to be surrounded by such young and adventuresome girls and boys. You could see the excitement about the future in their eyes. I'm ready for a good night's sleep.  ;D .... Sweet Eagles Dream.  :-*

Good night!

KAREN   Good visit with ENT.   What do you use to get vomit off carpet?

LANI   Oh that beauty of a calico.  My favorite kitty.  ;) ;)   I agree, it is so uplifting to be near young kids who are positive and able to be in environments that foster that attitude.   My heart aches for gangs and kids on the streets who somehow did not have that kind of upbringing/opportunity.  :'(

Phyl, good 365, love how the deer gracefully scatter with their little white tails in the air! 44 here, 61 for the high today. I see 2 70 degree days in the forecast for next week! Greenfingers looks like one I would like!

Lani, you had a good night with the High School Seniors! Ed's Mom was always so interesting to talk with, I think because she was a high school counselor. The kids kept her thinking young. She also did a lot of volunteer work for the kids up until she was in her 80's.

BL, listening now...thanks!

E4E, yes, I am looking forward to having the Munchkins this summer! They had a great time at the car show! I posted a couple of pictures, I think on Sunday, maybe Saturday. Sydney's birthday is next week, she will be 30. She had a big party for Erin when he turned 30, I hope he is doing the same for her!

tsk, I hope Margaret is doing well, still sending prayers...

baz, are you going with a group to the game? You will be loud and screaming, I am sure! Good walking!

baz - Yay on your 45 minute walk, and seeing some signs of Spring. 

tsk - Continued prayers for Margaret!  I know you asked karen what she uses to get vomit off the carpet, but I use the Resolve foaming one when B or M does it.  Cleans up good. 

Phyl - Yep, Mama is one tough cookie and doesn't let anything stop her. Very pretty blonde penguin.  Cute morning greeting.

E4E - Those are my kinda snacks in your good night pic....popcorn and coffee?

karen - Glad you are feeling a lil better.  LOL, at least Piper made it to the carpet. 

Lani - Awww, Mama and kitty!

kb - OMG....I hope it wasn't cold!

clynn - Love the ladle planters.

Puff, tig, and all - Morning  :)

Clynn, Love the Hens & Chicks in the ladle planters... It's my favorite for rocky areas too. Though the Javalenas like to eat them, so I don't plant them here. But, they would do well in this soil... interesting map.

Kb, Looks like sunset swim, pretty pic... awww Tigers... and Tower!

Tsk, I use Spot Shot stain remover for all stains. Light spray and wipe with clean white cloth. Resolve foam spray will work too.

Phyl, thanks for nature vid! Run deer, run!

Good Morning Beakers!
...

baz, are you going with a group to the game? You will be loud and screaming, I am sure! Good walking!
...

Clynn, I will be visiting my sister for a couple of days. She lives near Chapel Hill. We still spend a lot of time in that town, and have ever since we were kids - my father, both my sisters, and I, all went to college there, and as they say, "Our blood runs Carolina Blue."  ;)  My sister and I bought 2 tickets to that Monday night game about a month ago. It's always fun to be in the middle of the nearly 22,000 screaming and cheering fans - my sister and I will be doing our part while we are there.  ;D ;D   We are also going to hike a nature trail on the edge of town there the next day.  :)  I bet Erin is planning a fun 30th b'day for Sydney!  :) :-*

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D



Have birds; will poop!  8)  I've used Spot Shot and Resolve - they work well. But they are now in "back-up" position in my cabinet, because I discovered Folex Carpet Spot Remover. Yeah, Baby! Now that's what I'm talking about!!  ;D

A 32 oz (quart) spray bottle of Folex Carpet Spot Remover is about $7.00 at places like Lowes or Target, in my part of the country... It looks like this:

Lani, thanks for the great pics from TRR.  :) :-* :-*

Karen, I hope you and Piper can enjoy some nice weather on your screened porch this weekend - big warm-up. And tell Piper to stop eating that stuff! I know... he isn't listening. LOL.  ;) I hope his tummy has recovered from his most recent back-yard "All You Can Eat Buffet."  :-*

Lisa, I've recently sworn off popcorn. Again.  ::) ;) My sister and I are going to watch a movie when I visit her next week, so... popcorn might happen. Yikes!  ;D

E4E, I'm glad y'all got the new canvas awning put up, and hope the recent storms won't mess it up any.

TSK, prayers continue for Margaret. Sorry she had to have the surgery to stop the bleeding, but glad she was feeling better so soon afterward. Fingers crossed she is home soon, if not already. Hugs all around.  :-*




Waving to All the Beakers!  :)  :-*

Tsk  pretty leucistic  butterfly;  do hope Margaret is doing better today-prayers will continue; I use Bissell's Little Green Carpet cleaner for  pet accidents / small 'jobs.  First scoop up food bits w/ a spoon .

CLynn soup ladles w/ Hen & Chick plants,  novel idea; interesting maps from Tiny.com

Lisa coincidence  you use term 'tough cookie'. That's exactly what  the Recovery Room nurse said  when I became  conscious after cervical spine surgery. At the time I had ITP in full force and the 30k  pml I had built up from 5k pml to be 'healthy' for that sort of  surgery ---quickly dropped  3/4 thru surgery---transfusions got me to the finish line.  So thankful I had a  strong 'tough cookie' mom. ;)

KB lovely pair of Siberian Tigers today.   And there's 'Mr. Tower'  ;)

Lani    colorful blanket for little sloth and 'Mr./Miss '  Macaw are  too .  I often watch a preschooler when his parents 'go out'.  He's such fun.

Early------'Good Night and SEDs

BAZI    What a wonderful time with your sis coming up.  And you can even get your steps in  ;D   Who supervises Zippo?   Why did you swear off popcorn?  Actually a pretty good snack - if you can control yourself - NOT  ::) ::)

I was asking about the carpet cleanup as kind of a survey.  Lucy was the puke queen and I have always used Resolve and as a back up Spot Shot.    When I had my yr old new carpeting cleaned ( I tracked it down to incense ash tracked over this light carpet) I called my installer  - well known in this area and excellent installer - who he would recommend to clean it.   The guy came and did a marvelous job.  I said by the way, these are products that I have used to spot clean over the years.  What do you recommend. - NONE of them.
He recommended FOLEX!!! ( I had never heard of it.)    Bazi wins the prize  ;D    He recommended trying first a light soapy solution (Dawn) to clean the area.  If that didn't work then follow directions on Folex bottle.  Used once so far when Lulu knocked over my almost empty coffee cup and the spill caught my area rug.  Did a great job.  Guess it is gentler on fiber.   My ACE carried it.

Margaret  home around noon today tired and sore BUT did manage to give herself a shower.  Told her in an email to cut the 10,000 steps down to 5,000  LOLOL    They both love to do walking but will be laying low for a few days.

Post by: karengramke on February 22, 2024, 07:34:43 PM

Sorry, I am late to the table!  Have used all the cleaning products Baz and others listed.  My first attemp is to pour water on the spot and use my Bissell hand held pet cleaner!   Some times it works!   Just read about a product called, my dog peed!   Used for all animals for urine, poop, vomit and blood.   Spray it on and in 24 hours the spot, odor, etc and the product are gone.  No scrubbing required!  It doesnt do laundry or iron.  It also costs about 99 dollars!  Reviews were great!

Glad Margaret is home!  Good fortune moving forward!

Baz, hope you blue blood girls have fun and cheer the heels to victory!   Have been out with Piper but the temps are  still in the  low 70s and sixties. The highs for  the day are here for an hour.  Was out about noon talking to my neighbor and the sun felt great!

Vertigo came back this afternoon and I do not know what I did!   Will need another appointment soon!

Clynn, great map.
Lani , cute sloths.
Waving to Eagles. phyl and Lisa!  Seds

Karen - Hope your vertigo is subsiding and that you are feeling less dizzy and better now.

Tsk - Continued thoughts & prayers for your SIL.  I hope your Milwaukee brother has been able to take her home where she can get some good rest.    Just read that your SIL got to go home today!! I wish them both a peaceful & relaxing evening.

Phyl - Beautiful blonde penguin - how special!! :)    Thank you for 365; deer & coyote (I thought it was a fox when I was watching)!   You are a tough cookie just as your Mom was. {{Phyl}}

Lani - Sounds like a great time at Payson High Senior night - I just know you had a wonderful event!! ;D   Thank you for TRR pics. :)

Royal Albatross ~ LGK Defends TF Against Adolescents! KA13 Pulls TF's Fluff 😲 WYL Visits LGK 2.22.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVfbSL3_gYo&t=779s

Feb 22, 2024
LGK spent the night with TF and in the morning defended TF as curious adolescents BGY and KA13 were too close to the nest. LGK chases them off but KA13 returns and approached TF and pulls its downy fluff! You can see the fluff in its bill. LGK chases him off again! Thankfully LGK was here to protect TF!

BOK returns and when WYL gets up off his nest to let her take over brooding of their chick, WYL comes over to LGK and visits for a long time and ends up taking a nap before he departs back out to sea.

TF is in the very beginning of the post-guard stage and LGK and LGL will be staying away for longer periods of time during the next couple of weeks.  TF is a very brave chick getting its fluff pulled! Thank you for watching!

To see the highlights below, please click on the timestamps to advance to that portion of the video.

TIMESTAMPS
00:00 Opening - LGK wakes up with TF
02:45 TF busy with gardening!!
04:49 BGY arrives
05:40 KA13 comes into view and LGK chases both BGY & KA13 away
07:33 KA13 comes back & pulls TF fluff -LGK chases off
09:44 BOK arrives back to her nest
11:45 BOK/WYL changeover - WYL comes to LGK to visit and rest

Stunning photo.

The she-wolf has this habit of wrapping herself around the neck of her wolf because the neck is the most vulnerable part of the animal.
By doing so, she shows him her unconditional love.
For ethologists: Wolves are the most loyal and loving animals: they have only one partner throughout their life. The wolf is known to have an almost extraordinary tenderness and affection towards his she-wolf...which she knows perfectly well to return

Happy Friday all.

Lani, very good videos of the Albies, love it when they visit although those teenagers sometimes cause trouble! The parent is very patient but enough is enough! I can't tell the youngsters from the adults, is there something that distinguishes them? LWK is kind of a Nanny to TF!

tsk, glad to hear that Margaret is home! That was kind of scary!

Phyl, you and Maggie are both tough cookies! Come to think of it, so is Jim! A lot of tough cookies in the Beak Room ... Another great 365, love the sound of the waterfall and the cute little Mink!

karen, do you take anything for the vertigo?  I see there are a lot of OTC remedies, but I have no idea if they really work. It just seems like you are getting it a lot lately! I have never had it, but my sis Becky has.

Lisa, hope Mom is getting better every day!  Just wondering how many goodies you have stashed for Sydney!

baz, I have no doubt that you and your sister will be heard at the game! Eat lots of popcorn! And wear your Carolina Blue and White!

Good morning Beakers!
I just returned with Sadie after a quick run and getting ready to leave for the valley in 30 minutes.

Have a great Friday Beakers!
I'll be back this evening!  8)

I adjusted the albie pic of TF chick's nanny LWK. You can see the sweet single adult sitting and keeping the chick company.
I guess he does this with other lonely chicks while their parents are away foraging.  :-*

The rangers posted Manaaki was left alone at 34 days, TF chick is only 29 days. But it is summer, the Albies need to be hydrated and need more food to be able to feed their chick.

5 Hours ago, Dad LGK returned!  :-*
Great feed by Dad LGK for TF chick! A little attempted preen for 'the boss', then off again to go to sea for the next round. Champion LGK.

The plot thickens at GSB today.  Newman was perched at the nest box about 10:30 this morning, no leg bands so pretty sure it was him.  And then, Lisa 53-W was back, perching on the box and chattering, about 11:00!  Didn't see any of them together on the rewind, but I could have missed an encounter.

I also think one of the peregrines was perching at the top of a tree on the bluff, but too far for a good pic. And Newman was at the overhang of the large feeding ledge, but too dark for a decent pic.

Aryana Hummingbird: Eros Takes His First, Brave Steps & Jousts with Faith
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP4PwF9w

(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/46/9c/e9/469ce95d4d648628e41092c28fcf964e.jpg)
Eros behind leaf

Feb 20, 2024
At 22 and 23 days post-hatch, Eros and Faith are preparing for a life beyond the confines of the nest. Eros is the first to venture forth...at least a little bit. You can watch that earlier scene, in a shorter clip. Here, he takes his first, brave steps onto an adjacent branch; forages for insects among its leaves; cozies up to Aryana for nectar slurry; and engages Faith in a friendly jousting match afterward. Fun times!

But does this count as a fledge? Not quite. In a true fledge, our Fledge Watch Contest rules say, "a nestling uses both wings to achieve liftoff, and both feet leave the nest--no one-footed hops or touch-backs on any part of the nest rim or a nearby branch." So Fledge Watch continues!
 
For newcomers to this nest, and those who want a quick refresher course:

Q: Who is Aryana Hummingbird?
A: Aryana Hummingbird is an Allen's hummingbird who's raising her first clutch of the 2024 nesting season in a Gartenmeister Fuchsia. Her babies, Eros and Faith, are 21 & 22 days old. Thanks to Explore.org, we're able to watch the entire nesting process, from egg to fledge.
 
Q: How much do these nestlings weigh right now?
A: It's hard to give an exact answer, but a mature adult Allen's hummingbird weighs between 2 - 4 grams (the average being about 3 grams). Since they're not yet fledglings, it's fair to guess that they'd come in at
the lighter end of that range. So...2 grams, then, if not slightly less. How does that compare to the weight of everyday objects? Well, these items weigh approximately 1 gram apiece, so pick any two: a paper clip, a raisin, a U.S. dollar bill, the cap of a disposable Bic pen, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar.
Short answer: They're feather-light!

NEST DATA:
Aryana is a non-migrating Allen's Hummingbird who lives in the coastal area of Southern California. She's raising her first clutch of the 2024 mating season in a Gartenmeister Fuchsia.

Nest building efforts first spotted on December 25, 2023
Egg laying: Jan 12, 2023 at 6:49 a.m. and Jan 14 at 6:58 a.m.
Incubation period started on January 14th, at 6:58 a.m.
Faith's hatch occurred on January 29th--Day 16 of the incubation period. Eros hatched the next day (January 30th).
*FLEDGE WATCH: 20-28 days is the estimated timeframe from hatch to fledge.

Stunning photo.

The she-wolf has this habit of wrapping herself around the neck of her wolf because the neck is the most vulnerable part of the animal.
By doing so, she shows him her unconditional love.
For ethologists: Wolves are the most loyal and loving animals: they have only one partner throughout their life. The wolf is known to have an almost extraordinary tenderness and affection towards his she-wolf...which she knows perfectly well to return

Happy Friday all.

Did someone mention wolves ?   :)
Check out this webcam footage from yesterday at Old Faithful in Yellowstone N.P.    8)

I guess this pack likes it when there are not so many tourists around .. it was their park 1st after all.   ;D

Beautiful wolves!

Lani, hope you and Mike are having a good day in the Valley! Your Fur kids will be glad to see you when you get home! Becky and Jennifer have been at Moms for 2 weeks, they left for Oregon this morning. They take both their cats, Molly and Lucy, they have it all figured out! They have made the trip 9 or 10 times since Dad passed away. It's a long 3+ day trip each way, 2,195 miles.

Lori, love that cake for Bradley and Kelly!

Lisa, I haven't started on the Easter baskets for the Munchkins yet, seems like I just finished with the Valentine stuff! Easter is early this year!

Tsk, Clynn and Lani there hasn't been a  Sauces nest hatch much less surviving egg since  Dina in spring 2021 that I can confirm. I"'ve scoured the last 2 + years.  Dina was my 'girl'  I love that bald eagle.    Miss and wonder about her quite often.  Since 'they' didn't put a tracking device on  her ---why ?
 I think Anthony was hatched before Dina.   I didn't go back that far  in research this time.

BL, thanks for the great music.

Eagles, Hot Honey is a spicy condiment. It's got some heat in it, chili flakes, hot sauce, or apple cider vinegar. There are probably many other recipes... I like to dip chicken nuggets in Hot Honey....  I hope you and Kris have fun plans for this weekend.

Good night!

Good Morning everyone!  My patio doors face east - so face sunrise.  I love to get up early, make a pot of tea and journal while watching the sunrise each morning.  April 1st my job is changing to another company so I'll be 100% remote so can really enjoy each day as it begins.  I also put out suet feeders in winter so get downy woodpeckers, red crested woodpeckers, starlings, house sparrows, and junkos. 

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Hi Nr!
Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the lovely sunrise yesterday CLynn brought to us. Mornings will certainly be 'enjoyable' to say the least with such an assortment of pretty and lively birds visiting your feeders.
Sending 'Good Luck' your way with the new job.

{{{Karen}}} be extra careful

Lani  'nosey'  'Good Night' ---cute

Eagles another comfy fire last evening

Tig/Lani thanks for extra info on the hot honey; would be tasty w/chicken nuggets/wings


Lisa monogram Easter baskets, that's new---that will  make Sydney's basket extra special from  you

Bl, good music and wolf story!   Thanks

Phyl, I do not think you ever sleep!   Up late and  up early!   Thanks for the posrs?

Nr, good to see you.  Love your morning routine!   Will be mice to work from home  but then there is something to be said for getting up and out, as well.  You do keep busy!

Lani, enjoy your posts!   I wish we would have an occasional blanket of snow too!  Really would like it in August!

Clynn, Becky and Jennifers trip is truly over the river and thru the woods, and prairies, !   Do they change routes for more adventure?

Phyl, good 365 with the beaver poking his head out! 26 here, 55 high for today. The high temps are just crazy, Mon 72, Wed 37. next Sun 76. What??!!  Love the kitty on the water bottles, they so love to crawl into places...  That Good Morning kitty!!! Nice to see someone will be using N1, thanks for Amy's Blog! She doesn't mention HD and HM, I wonder if they have an eye on their new nest? And Mom and DM2?  Sue Bruhling reported on FB 2/15 that she spotted both pairs and something about HD/HM building a nest on the other side of the Bluffs. Oh, I found a history of the Sauces nest for you:  https://www.iws.org/sauces-nest-history  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSx5IwqBI74      Here is a picture of a young Harley, he could be Bob's twin!

nr, nice to see you in the Beak! We need to get together again!

Lani, Becky and Jennifer are on their way back to Corvallis, they were at Mom's for two weeks. They have been driving to Mom's twice every year, usually around this time and then in the fall. Mom will be 90 this year, they report that she is slowing down a bit. She has been using a cane but they got her one of those lightweight 3 wheeled walkers so she will maybe try and get out more.  I will be going in April, as usual. I have wondered if the hostas have started coming up with this warmer spring like weather! Let's see Aly's picture! Love the goodnight noses...

BL, what?  I was never good at word puzzles...  ;D :o But I do love the great tunes!

E4E, yes, tough cookies in the Beak, and Kris is definitely in the group! I did take a look at the Easter goodies but haven't started the Easter Baskets for the Munchkins yet! I do feel it coming on though!

karen, there are a couple of different routes they can take, they check the weather carefully!

BL   Enjoy your birthday vacay!

EAGLES   Beautiful room you posted last night.  I could get comfy there.  :)

LANI   That recipe looks good and easy but wonder if it might be too hot for me.  It would be a good girls get together appetizer.
LOL  Noses and a pair of eyes  ;D

NR   Good to see you!!   So happy to hear you can work remote now.  So no longer with Wells Fargo?

CLYNN  Love the selection of Caturday kitties today

Kb, Love the cow/shoes! LOLOL!!  ;D

Tsk, Why not try less chili flakes and hot sauce, let it sit and then taste. If you prefer, Add more organic honey and let sit. Mike wouldn't like it, but Aly and I would.  ;D

Clynn,. {{{Harley}}}  :-* ... safe travels for Becky, Jennifer and fur babies.... love the hummingbird mobile feeder.

Karen, August snow  ;D .. I hope your vertigo isn't bad today.

CLYNN   That is a gorgeous feeder for someone who gets all those hummers.  BUT  I too would worry about how to clean and add new sauce.  Mine is just a single glass one - with 4 ports and easy to clean.

Just wanted to THANK you all again for the anniversary wishes for B&K.  I sent pics to them, and they appreciate it.  I also see I am three Beak pages behind!  I was not feeling well yesterday afternoon, logged off PC, and went to bed very early.  Feeling much better today.

BrokenLug - Loved the webcam footage of the wolves at Yellowstone.  Have a great time.

tsk - How was your fish fry?

clynn - How cool is that, a fish truck!  LOL, yes the Easter candy was mixed up with the Valentine's candy at my store.  Thanks for the pics of the SWFL kiddo in their heraldic pose!

tig - Oooo, was the hot honey pepperoni spicy?

E4E - Loved that cozy looking family room last night in your good night pic.

Lani - The mother moves in next month, as winter will be milder here, so Im guessing she will be here all summer, and then head back to FL for the winter.  That is my guess, I don't like to ask too much.   :-X

Phyl - Hooray for the goose cam....love those honkers!!   ;D ;D your morning kitty. Thanks for 365.   

nr - That is great that you will get to work remotely, and enjoy those sunrises. 

karen - How ya feeling?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BrokenLug!!

The quiet profoundly owl like in this neck of the woods.

Kopje wicked tuned in to the owl song once the chimney smoke rose. 

What a place.  :)

BL, nice!  :) I'm jealous, too... I haven't had that in-the-cabin-in-the-woods-on-the-mountaintop wood stove smoke curl up my nostrils in a long time now. Memories. I know you, and Pip and Kopje are enjoying, and glad you have the beautiful sky, too!  :)

Tig - okay! googled it!

Lani -I googled and now understand the honey/spice recipes and how you can put your own spin on it and make it your own!  Thank you for the explanation - I wasn't up on it. :-[         You asked if we have plans for this weekend, but no we don't, and that is sad because my Mom's relatives who live about 2.25 hours away, wanted to come to my house tomorrow on Sunday and visit with my Mom here and have appetizers and then we would all go out to a restaurant to eat.  But, my Mom was not up to it, so they are not coming - so, no plans for tomorrow. :(

Phyl - It is different to see a goose in N2B, but at least it is getting used!   In 365; all that ice and a beaver pops up!

Nr - So happy for your new job coming on April 1st!!!  It sounds perfect for you!!   ;D

Karen - How are you & Piper?

Clynn - It's still early and you have plenty of time to get the Munchkin's Easter treats/baskets ready!! ;D   Love the hummingbirds!!

Tsk - Cute 'Caturday' gif this morning!

Kb - Lol!! The vid of cow 'stealing' the shoes is too funny!! ;D

Hi Puff  :)

Lani - Is Mike working from home this weekend?     We are having some dry nice weather for a few days, but expecting showers on Sunday night.

LisaG - Glad you are feeling better today. :)

Baz  :)

Og - Nice birthday cake for BL!    Have fun at cards tonight - hope you win!! ;D

Beakers have a good night & sleep well.

Morning all.

this fox is not in my neighborhood...too much snow in the picture.

Today is moving furniture day and I am as ready as I can be...other than to stand by with the vacuum cleaner once the big furniture is moved.  Then the process to put it all back again! I got nothing but time so took it slow removing clutter and will take whatever time is needed to put it back.

The lack of snow this season has had me realize just how long our winters really are. No, I ain't complaining. Just a noticing without the need to shovel all the time how much time I have on my hands really. It's still too cold to enjoy the outdoors.

Time's a'wasting Clynn  tsk .  There are 63 designated national parks, mostly west of the Mississippi.

That's something I might try to check on how many I've been to; never made a list.  But never felt any were a waste of a sidetrip.  I'm a big proponent of USA travel.  Our country is something we all should see and treasure.  I have my state count to 45 (but you've heard me mention that before I'm sure).  Yeah!!

Royal Albatross - TF chick's mom LGL has been gone a week. It's becoming concerning  :(. . Dad LGK has shown up every day with food so far. Rangers are keeping close eye on chick's weight and may help supplement chick's diet to ease dad's burden.

Little skycalls come in little packages. Top Flat chick's beautiful skycall yesterday afternoon.

Feb 24, 2024
LGK has been back every day since TF entered post guard stage on Feb 20th to make sure his chick is okay with being left alone now for periods of time and an overnight. And TF is doing a great job with this big change. LGK returns back late in the afternoon amidst the rain and bad weather at Taiaroa Head/Pukekura to take care of TF. LGK begins a long feeding and then rests for a while and begins a second feeding. LGK will take off for an hour and come back when it was getting dark and he spends the night ♥ This behavior is really heartwarming to watch as his instincts are telling him to keep checking on TF until LGL returns back. What dedication he displays...reminds me of another very special albie Dad who took his parenting role to heart  - OGK. ♥ OGK found his way home injured and bleeding and still insisted on feeding Atawhai Pippa even in great pain while he healed. Such great devotion we see from these albie parents! Hurry home LGL ♥ Thank you for watching!

Cold weather with no snow is a great time to work puzzles  like tsk, clean house hike. Explore museums, take a road trip and relax!  Take some classes.  Nice to not have work to do!   Sunny cool day here today.
Tsk, have bot looked but wonder how Marquette is doing this year.  Long ago they had good basketball teams and were pretty competitive.
Eagles sorry your mother was under the weather and hope she is better!
Mike rested up ?
Vertigo is being treated well.  Patient is not compliant!  Harder to keep the crystals in place with older folks!   I was in great shape when I left the office.
Old Guy, how were tge cards last night?  Thank to you and t40 for fun posts!

Happy Bird Day Pip - I assume you two are having a blast!

Chris' friend and girlfriend are gone. Meaning, work is done.....Whew. Other than refilling the book case and the tv console...tons and tons of that stuff left. But, I'm done for today and will refill, restuff  another day.

Lani - So heartbreaking about Mom albie. Do you happen to know if they have returned in the past after a week gone?...I know the rangers and Dad will have it under control. Just curious.

It's 50 degrees here today. Warmer tomorrow, but snow on Tuesday night. We shall see as they say.

It's so much more pleasant with the seating arrangement in my living room frankly. Am enjoying it except for I won't be able to see Mr. Tower unless I get up off the couch and look....Oh well, I've been documenting them for over 10 years now.

Good question tig.....well, we put him in his kennel for the big move for his and our safety.

What's new for him is he won't be able to sit in my big bay window..he's comfortable now on my couch on the opposite side of the room. Therefore, he won't bark at any ol thing while we are watching tv..

He's been licking my face as I was a titch sweaty. So, he's mostly concerned about his momma.

tsk - no Ollie was not the reason....in fact, we waited a long time considering he likes to sit in the window. More that the tv will be hung on the other wall Wednesday by Best Buy with a new sound bar and the light will be better for the tv. In other words, tv viewing is better.

Chris was the incentive for doing all this, so yes he's happy.

Other benefits as well. Like the room looks better when you walk in my front door etc.

FYI at first we had the furniture like I moved it to now, but changed it to the other side cause the air return was under the couch and moving it to the other side seemed to warm it up.

Benefits/downsides to all, LOL  Not to mention it's good to make changes once in awhile.

My mom used to change the furniture around way more than I have....Change in this case is good, for now at least!

BAZI   I think I saw you waving   :o :o    Had to close my eyes for a bit there in the last few minutes.  Nice win.  Ahead the whole game.   Enjoy your hiking tomorrow .  :)

...

Now let's see what Kansas can do  :D.

TSK, LOL, I wasn't at yesterday's game! Yesterday, UNC played at Virginia - as in Virginia! LOL! So you didn't see me wave yesterday!  ;) :D  UNC likes to keep their fans on their toes.  ::)  Yikes! But it was a win, so - Yay!  :D I will be driving to my sister's town tomorrow (Monday) in NC - then we will head to the game in Chapel Hill that starts Monday night at 7pm, eastern... So no hiking on my agenda for tomorrow... just highway driving to my sister's, and then to Chapel Hill, and then the game. Yay!! Go Heels!   ;) :D

Lani, praying for LGL's return... at least we won't have to worry about the chick being fed and monitored! The litle sloths are moving around!  Albeit v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y!  ;D Hopefully Mike is getting a good rest today, after the Jayhawks win!

Puff, when we lived in the Southwest back in my childhood we used to drive to Bone Gap, IL every summer and stay for the month Dad was on leave. All of Mom's family is around there. We would camp on the 3 day trip and often take side trips to sites of interest and National Parks!  It was such fun! Us three girls had the whole back of the station wagon (all of the luggage was on the roof rack.) And then there was Stuckeys, although most of our meals came from the cooler Mom had packed.

tsk, it's 65 here right now, TWC says 78 for next Sunday! All high 50's, 60's and low 70's for the next 2 weeks except for 2/28 which will have a high of 37.  :o :o I am going to check some hostas tomorrow, see if any are coming up. Mom said she has daffodils up though not blooming yet. She has a ton of them in the little wooded area behind the house.

Lisa, that latte with the cinnamon on top looks good!  If Ed goes somewhere I will have him stop at Starbucks!

Phyl, this article popped up in FB, I thought you might enjoy it! : https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/2/23/2223893/-Daily-Bucket-Friday-Sequence-Bluebirds-house-hunting?detail=emaildkg&pm_source=DKRE&pm_medium=email

My Heels won, yay!  :)  I will be driving to my sister's house tomorrow (Monday). She lives in NC, near Chapel Hill, and we will be going to the UNC game in Chapel Hill tomorrow night (Monday night).  ;) :D I hope we can win again! Fingers crossed!  :D Update... Clynn, I just saw your post above - thank you! We are looking forward to it!

WA, OR, Iowa, MN, HI, NY, NJ, NH, WV, CO and PR

KB handsome fox; nice to switch the furnishings about for a change

Tsk  bright  sparkly greeting this AM; 60F is a nice temp this time of year

Puff would be safe to say no other country on this planet has such a diverse landscape, climate and history as ours. My parents were big on us 'seeing America first. Although, international travel is broading and enlightening to the small degree I've done---my parents did a bang up job for us here.

Lani tks for Royal Albie update and news or lack of on momma Royal. :( prayers to St. Francis   ; luv the pair of kitty nursery guards

CLynn  oh that travel bus!!   Awesome Bengal mama and cubs. Daily Bucket-Bluebird house hunting. Cute/fun read TKs for thinking of me.  :-*   .
Our Easterns are  here year 'round. So i'ts just a 'hallow' (no pun) ritual. They just check on the cleanliness and go to work. Activity here won't  pick up until well into late March or  sometimes early April when Spring arrives for us.    They're gonna keep me hopping   ;)

Pip and I want to thank all off you Beakers for all of the cakes, cards, Happy B-Day wishes and Images  !   8) 8) 8) .

They were all very much appreciated and enjoyed.  :)   :-*

We're going to spend one more night here at the Catskill Cabin and then roll back home tomorrow at some point.
The weather here has just been so very pleasant this weekend ..    ;D

There is hardly any snow on the ground around here which is highly unusual for this area at this time of year so the trails and tracks are a bit muddy.

The mountains, forests and Kill's are early already rolling out their early Spring attitudes.

Pip, Kopje and I sat on a boulder next to a river (or kill) for over an hour (well Kopje didn't really  ::) ) this afternoon watching the resident pair of River Otters play like children at X-Mas. 

We are so grateful & love it when Mother Nature shares her unbelievable majesty with us ..

Peace Out Beakers.

That deserves a double  HAPPY HAPPY  to yous.

P

Yes Puff mine is the 24th and Pips is the 25th of February.

Pip and I were both born in the same hour on our respective birth dates also .. the 05 dark hour .. Sorry Mom's.  :-*

Both years both nights in raging blizzards .. Sorry Dad's  :-*

I was her 3rd and last male child. She said she was in labor with me the longest of all 3 of us .. sorry again Mom. 

I was wobbling and ambling about at around 9 months banging into every fixed object she said ..  :-[

My intention ever since has been to stop doing that until I stop spinning here on this Blue Marble Marvel.   ;)

And yes I'm 2 years older than Pip except for the 24 hours when I'm 3 years older than her ..

And she never forgets to remind me of this fact.   :-*  LOL

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


I didn't walk yesterday, but I got in a 31-minute walk today.  :)


TSK, thanks. LOL on the doppelganger! It seems I have more than one!  :D  I agree with you on the fish fry - never as good if I take it home to eat, though it's more about the donation to the cause, of course. But it would be nice to eat it fresh and hot! How is your SIL feeling? Prayers continue - I know she has more ahead, and hope she can get that surgery re-scheduled before long. Hugs.

Phyl, thanks. My Bluebirds are year-round, too. Their activity has really picked up recently  :-* - it's almost Spring here!  :)

Clynn, wow on Factory Butte! That's pretty spectacular! Gorgeous tigers... I won't be walking that path though.  ;) And I sure as "H" "E" Double Hockeysticks WON'T EVER be on that bus!!  :o :o  I hope you can cover your Hosta tips if they're up, so they don't get hurt by any late frosts or freezes. Everythings starting to really pop here, and yesterday I noticed the Spring green-colored leaves starting to emerge from the very large Weeping Willow tree beside the retention pond next to my place... it looks like the whole tree has had its very, very long branches sprinkled in lime green sequins. The tree pollen count here is now in the moderate-to-high level each day... they don't care what the calendar says!  ;) :D

Oldguy, glad you checked in! Thanks for the links.  :)

E4E, I hope your mom is feeling better soon, and you can re-schedule that fun time for another weekend.  :)

T40, you're back!  :D  Now wait... am I remembering you were headed for a really nice trip somewhere recently? Is that where you've been? Did I manufacture that memory?

Karen, I hope you can get back to your doc for a quick follow-up treatment for that pesky and severe vertigo! Hugs.

Lisa, glad you could just kick back and relax and rest, and I hope you feel better.  :)

Lani, oh gosh... (((LGL))) prayers and  :-* :-* for her, and for TF chick, and dad (LGK?). Okay, for All those Royal Alby chicks and parents... and of course the rangers and the staff there. Thanks for the updates on them, and on the sloths and Toucans and all at TRR. I hope Mike is getting re-charged a bit this weekend.  :)


Waving to All the Beakers.  :)

Have a Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Kb, It's nice you and Chris are enjoying the change. It's nice to be able to reorganize. Sounds like it was a good day and even for Ollie.  :) ... Since this is summer, the rangers are very watchful over the nests. Doing daily weigh and making sure chicks are hydrated. Rangers reported Dad LGK has been circling above his chick for a quick check throughout the day. No mom so far.... the nest to the right, mom and dad are both taking turns.

Eagles, cute birthday cake for Pip! How's your mom today? Keeping her in my prayers.  :-*

Baz, Safe travels and lots of Tarheel fun with your sister! Good luck!  ;D 8) :-*

Hi Tsk, Puff, Tig

Clynn, Mike took naps in between working on his computer... Love your childhood memories. Thanks for sharing.  :-* ... cute Bluebird story/.. stunning Utah pic. I've never seen anything like that before... awww mama Bengel Tiger and cubs.

Morning all.

Phyl - love the doggo sayings...hmm from human species?...teehee.

Today I will move my books from dining room to living room book case...4 shelves of them. Mostly medical textbooks which I take pride in having even though they are 40 plus years old, heavy, and read from front to back.

Will probably use a tarp to pull them across the carpet this time as boxes are now filled with tv console stuff.
Am holding off on filling that back up, and therefore have use of boxes, in case the installers of tv on the wall need to move it to do their job on Wednesday.

As they say work smart not fast.

A walk will be in order today as getting close to or above 60..Yah

kb, beautiful scarlet ibis! Fascinating cruise ship video!

Phyl, yes, Monday again. and another week slips by...  39 here now, 75 for the high today! Eek! Snow showers Tuesday night! What project are you tackling on your cupboards? Those dogs, I have seen a set of 3 tee shirts with those sayings!  I thought about getting them for me and my sisters, but we are so rarely all three together I didn't. Love the 365, I could watch the tide come in for hours...The rhythm of Mother Earth.

Lani, glad Mike is getting rested even if it is cat naps here and there!  There is a new home remodeling show on HGTV called Renovation Aloha! I haven't seen it but it sunds like they are going to talk a lot about their heritage and culture and their 87 cousins!   https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/renovation-aloha-tristyn-kamohai-kalama-on-hgtv-s-new-show-set-in-hawaii/ar-BB1iu772

E4E, I love fish, especially salmon cooked on the grill with Tone's Rosemary & Garlic seasoning! Pair that with fresh asparagus and a nice salad and it's a perfect meal. Do you cook yours on the grill? If you always cook fish on Fridays you probably have some good recipes!  This made me think of you and Kris!

I am 2 years older than my middle sister for 6 months, and she reminds me often. It's great that you can celebrate your birthdays together!  Are you both retired?

baz, most of my hostas are covered with leaves, I ask the leaf people to cover them all before taking the leaves away. I am going to take a peak today! Mom said hers weren't coming up yet so I am betting that mine are not up yet. Her flowers are usually a couple of weeks ahead of mine. Have fun at the game and safe travels! Don't forget your blowhorn!

PUFF  Right on  39 now heading to 69 later today.   

BL   Sounds like a wonderful restful time for you both.  More folks need that nature experience.   Pretty cool about your and Pip's similarities/birth etc  Thanks for sharing.   Suspect you both might have us all beat in national parks.

KAREN   Yes, Sr. Jean is still cheering Loyola on.  I think she wrote a book!   Good luck at ENT tomorrow.

PHYL   Dogs and rules   ;D ;D

KB  Scarlet ibis is stunning.  I love that color as well.  Were you able to purge significantly?  Gave away all my medical books eons ago.    How amazing is that port of Miami.  Unbelievable.

CLYNN   LOVE those cute lavendar ladies.  :)   I'd like to look for that Reno Aloha  Saw it advertised but then forgot.  Cute crockpot  :D     A hobbit tree  ;) ;)

Here's something to get to some day - The Bay of Fundy.

Their tides vary about 45' to 50' - That's Feet!!  There's an inlet between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.  Good to go before the waters go down, then when the bottom of the ocean is totally walkable (but muddy/sandy) you can look for and collect souvenirs from bottom of the ocean.  ;D   NEATO!!   There's about 4-5 hour window to watch so you don't get caught in a super bath.  Also, along the beach there are some ladder methods to get up and down to land.

If you're ever in the area (maybe fall leaves time) try to get there.

tsk - I did throw away some novels and non fiction I no longer wanted but no on the medical books.
Under the tv console I also threw stuff....lastly, I moved some vases, Scott's flag to our basement bedroom, and other trinkets.

Not a big purge, but did go through what I have in that room.

Where I still need a big purge, with help, is in my garage, the attic over my garage, and Scott's shop still.
Also a 4th bedroom downstairs... oh and closets of course.

One room at a time!

clynn - very old oaks....I dislike so much my city cuts down old oaks for apartments. I actually live in an oak grove...so many removed, even those not dying..wish we were more like Europe in that sense.

I can still see remnants of our oak grove. One across the street from me, one just up the street. and now 2 gone from Lunds parking lot for apartments.grr

Clynn, a next  door neighbor on Springfield had a bed of hostas  between her porch and my deck and one of them had large purple flowers thar had the most wonderful scent!   She had no idea what it was  or who planted them but if I lived in the right climate I would research them and plant a bunch!

Royal Albatross ~ LGK Gets To Meet TFT For 1st Time! 🐥 Shares Affectionate Preening w/ BOK 💕 2.25.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4w-uKxWgKQ

Feb 25, 2024
Dad LGK spent the night with TF and in the morning he gave two feedings. At the nest to the right TFT BOK flew in for another changeover with WYL. The coverage begins with LGK getting up and walking to the cam and giving us some great closeups! LGK is one handsome dude!! 💕 After several minutes of admiring himself for the camera, he heads over to TF who is not interested in another feeding at that time.

LGK walks over to BOK who is sitting on the nest and he reaches over and gives her some affectionate preening. He also does a playful nip at her feathers. They have a friendly neighborly interaction (no he is not disloyal to LGL by preening another female!) :) Albatross mate for life and very loyal and dedicated to their partner. Even when a partner dies, it can takes years before the bereaved albatross will start to find a new mate. LGK is just being neighborly 💕

BOK gets up and LGK gets to see TFT and touch it with his bill - sort of like the elephants that touch a new born ellie with their trunks! Very tender moment. Looks like both WYL and BOK will be good neighbors to LGK & LGL. ♥ LGK gets up and has a beautiful departure over the water! Hurry home LGL we miss you! Thank you for watching!

I still have tens if not hundreds more to go in various places....including an entire set of Encyclopedias. Maybe someday? Was a book reader my whole life.

Kb lovely scarlet ibis; the ibises that were 'sacred' to ancient Egyptians were white.    Although their murals show some as black. They  sacrificed ibises by the millions, murdering and mummifying the sacred birds as tributes to Thoth (pronounced like “oath,” with a “th” at the beginning), who also oversaw justice, magic and the judgment of the dead.

CLynn just some tiding up and tossing----'purging'  as TSK says.  May take a break tomorrow and then finish up later in week. Oh! That slo-cooker is perfect for E4E/Kris.   Awesome ancient oak---makes me think of what Harry and Hermione saw  The Forest of Dean ?    Lavender Ladies be perfect  near one's bed at night.

Tsk  was thinking Sr. Jean still attended  the games     :-\

Puff   ;)

Tig  a nice swim sounds great.

Lori Now Destini  :)  and goodness those Italian Cream Stuffed Cream Horns. !

Bazi  don't for get the sign and a selfie

Lani - I heard from my mom briefly today; where she was saying that something we ordered for her from Amazon is not right and needs to be sent back.

Kb - The big furniture move takes place Wednesday - right?  Just wondering if I have the date correct.    Gorgeous pic of  Scarlet Ibis!     Wow! The cruise ships leaving port! ::)

Clynn - I have a box of frozen 'Morey's Alaskan Salmon' - marinated and individually packed from Costco.  I have also bought from Raley's Nob Hill;  Alaskan Halibut.  The Morey's I do not do anything, but set it on a baking sheet!  When I buy fish that I need to spice, I will use 'Old Bay', and a little peppered garlic and will bake it on a buttered baking tray.  It's all good!!     I love that vw bus with the yummy dinner inside - so cute!!!!! ;D     Wow- the 500 - 1000 yr old Oak tree is totally amazing-can't believe the diameter of the massive trunk! :o

Tsk - My Mom used to have medical books and self-help, but she too, gave them away or sold them at a yard sale!

Good Morning Beakers!

I'm late this morning! Computer did something weird and I had to consult my tech!

Phyl, oh that bad dog!   ;D Good Blog from Amy, love all the pics! How funny that HD is taking nesting materials from N1! Sure wish they would have stayed at N1... Cute Good Morning owl! 47 here now, high 64 for today. Record breaking 78 yesterday!  High 37 tomorrow.  Then back up to 77 by Sunday!  Like a roller coaster...  Gorgeous sunset on the Flyway!

Lani, so relieved to hear that LGL is back! She sure looks happy with the chick under her, hope she rests for a while now! Such a good Alby community. Cute Pepper video!

E4E, do you have a Kohl's near you? That's where I take Amazon returns now, you just need to designate in your item in Amazon that you are returning to Kohl's and show them the form with the bar code when you drop the item off, you can just take it in a bag.

tsk, yes, we are getting the one crappy day tomorrow, then back to the record setting temps! You are just a bit behind us with what is heading east! 78 yesterday, so nice!

Lisa, that commercial take is so funny, I had to laugh when she screwed it up also!

Well, baz I did find and watch your team.  Why NC?  Your school or family connection? 

First half low scoring, but picked up tone the second half.  Got just crazy at the end.  Liked watching their two little guys (racing around little guys/rabbits), exciting play by #4 and #2, Davis and Cadeau.  What year are they?  Hope you get more time with them in other years.

Looked all through the stands for you and the sign.   8)   I'm sure I finally found you.  You were the one wearing the blue sweatshirt, right?   :P

EAGLES  A trip to Mom's today to pack up wrong Amazon order.  Been there done that. :o  Good idea from CLYNN

LANI   My SIL  Margaret is still sleeping a lot but they did go for a ride on Sunday to visit her brother for a bit.  Baby steps.    Pepper telling the story   LOL     YAY  LGL is home  ;D   Big change for baby in 9 days  :o

PHYL   What a cute fabric owl  :)   Good blog from Amy    Interesting how they are publishing the location of the Trempealeau nest.
HD    Knows the location of some good nesting material  LOL    That Dana Schroeder photo is stunning.

I haven't had enough coffee yet, so only have above!....LOL

Morning all.

Eagles4 - The big furniture was all moved and done on Sunday with the help of Chris' friends. BTW he and girlfriend brought moving straps, the kind you put under furniture and then wrap around your waist, and a huge dolly. Nobody was injured!

Wednesday (tomorrow now) the Best Buy installers will mount a large tv on the now empty wall plus a new soundbar.
My walls are old plaster....let's hope they know what they are doing and how to find a stud! Not sheetrock. Plaster is much better imho, but it chips/breaks easily if you don't know what you are doing

Lani - Oh that makes me feel very happy that Mom came back home after 9 whole days!...Woot Woot.

Sue Bruhling - Breaking News in Decorah!!!!! - Decorah Hatchery Eagles - February 25, 2024
Our Friend & Photographer Steven Smith went over to Decorah on Sunday and look what he found!!!!!! Dude/HD & Missy/HM INCUBATING at their New Nest, N5 on the other side of the Bluff!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ They have Eggs! Oh! Happy Day!!!! 🙂 The incubation period for these eggs is approximately 35 days. Although we don't know the exact days that they were laid we will have some kind of an idea counting 35 days from February 25 which would be March 30th! Also, I wonder if the warmer weather might affect the incubation period this year as bald Eagle Incubation in the southern states tend to be shorter due to the warmer weather! 😉 Thank You! Steven Smith for sharing the Big News and Pictures with us! ❤

Tsk Mom Decorah arrived at N1 in December of 2007 at the age of 4.
How that age of 4 was determined I'm not sure.
That would make her 21 maybe 22 years old in 2024.  ;)

I found this info here: https://eaglesorg.wpengine.com/what-we-do/educate/learn-about-eagles/bald-eagle-biology/

Quote

What is the lifespan of a bald eagle & how long can they reproduce?

• The life span of eagles in the wild is generally around 30 years. The longest that any Bald Eagle has been known to live in the wild is 39 years. In captivity, they may live over 50 years due to fewer hazards and veterinary care.

• About 50 percent died during the first year due to their inexperience at meeting the dangers of living in the wild. After their first year, about 90 percent survive each year.

• Eagles are thought to be able to reproduce throughout their lifespan, but little documentation is available.

One eagle has been documented successfully raising young in her 26th year.

In conclusion: I guess Mom Decorah has more good years left of egg laying under her tail feathers yet to go.   :)   8)

I got the DE nest history from here:  https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-eagles/

About the Decorah Eagles >

A Brief History of the Decorah Eagles: OM (Original Mom), Dad, Mom, DM2, HM, and HD >

Quote

• 2007: N0 (Nest Zero) is destroyed during a storm. Dad and OM begin building a new nest (N1) in the yard of a home just north of the hatchery. OM disappears in early fall.

2007: A four-year old female (Mom) joins Dad at N1 in early December.

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorah_Bald_Eagles

Quote

The Decorah Eagles became an Internet phenomenon and the most viewed live-stream of all time when the website reached 250 million views on Ustream in 2011, with roughly 2.4 million views per day. Ustream began hosting the video feed in 2011,

although the live-cam was initiated in 2007, and was used to provide footage for the PBS Nature documentary "American Eagle'" released in 2008.

In May 2020 the eagles were featured in NOVA's documentary "Eagle Power".

I believe N1 was originally filmed from the loft of the barn by Neil Rettig in the Winter of 2007 and Spring of 2008.
I think the 1st camera was actually installed in the N1 Cottonwood tree in the Fall of 2008. ?

The N1 web camera didn't go out live to "the masses" on the internet via Ustream until some point in 2011.

2011 is when most here started watching the Decorah Eagles.   :)   8)

Yep, I dead headed 9 hydrangea plants starting at 10:30 and pruned 3 of them....took me 2 hours..Lots of dead flowers and I only pruned the 3 very large ones..With today's wind I thought it prudent to not have to find them all over my yard!

Now it's snow/ice on my decks and getting very cold.

The installers are coming tomorrow between 2:30 and 6:30 so at least by then it will be up to 20!

The next prognosticator is does March come in like a lion or a lamb ?

Very Wet, Very Muddy and Way Too Warm here in February.

What Karen said is such a lifetime observation and so correct.

Deadly Bird flu found in mainland. Antarctica for the first time!  It is threatening the lives of Penguins .

Phyl, thanks for continuing to share the results of your  research!
Clynn, sweet Harley! Mi hope the eventual introduction of the Kitties goes well.  When is  the spay day?  Soon, I am thinking!
Bl!   Good info and I trust you and Pip are home.   I am reminded the. Experts said eaglesonly lay one clutch a year,  until they did and do!   Come on, DM!  😉

It went from summer at 3pm (74) today to winter by 7pm (32) - heading for 14 by morning and high of 35 for Wed.  Winds 20 to 30 starting at 3pm.  Wind chill at 5 and air temp of 18  as it is approaching midnight.  We missed out on the rain/snow and storms - they all started up in Mo. and Ill. this afternoon and evening and missed us by about 80 miles.

Cards were good on Sat. 3 - close games - won 2 out of 3.

Ordered a new Range yesterday - the old one (1995) was not maintaining proper temps anymore. - should be installed in 1 to 2 weeks.

Busy day today, Sophie goes in this morning for her spay procedure and they both get their second injection of the Feline Combo vaccination (for FHV-1, FCV, FPV, rabies, and FeLV}. Then I have a dentist appointment, then Ed has a dentist appointment. Then a meeting with our Financial Advisor and finally to pick Sophie up after 2:00. All this on the coldest day! 9 degrees right now, high of 35. Then it will be 79 on Sunday!

tsk, wow, some bad weather there! None of that here, the wind has actually calmed down. No snow at all (they kept predicting it!}

Phyl, not good news for Grindavik... Thanks for Amy's Blog. I would love to see a golden eagle! I have onlky ever seen the one they have at The National Eagle Center. Very interesting bird sculpture! 

oldguy, you are right, from summer to winter...and then back to summer! Crazy!  Thanks for the links, will watch them a bit later this morning.

Lani, yes, when I joined the forum it was 2011, you and calhound were already there, and it was called The Decorah Lounge then. I lurked for a few months and then jumped in! It was also the year we watched Jewell on the NABC bear cam.  I think Iremember when we were watching the 3rd egg hatch in Decorah there were over 130,000 viewers all over the world! It was on Ustream then. Bob had no idea what he had started back then.  It was a good thing.  Love all those little dogs lined up for bedtime!

BL, glad to hear you and Pip made it back to home base!

Brrr......thought about you last night tsk when I looked at radar....glad it all worked out at your abode.

oldguy - thanks for sharing that info on your new range.....Very interesting looking. Please let us know how you end up liking it or not after install. I have a much older one and know someday it will need replacement.

My range was old when I bought my house in 1999...so I have no idea how old it is. Knocking on wood. It's a gas oven/stove and I love it. Self cleaning too so I think it might be a Sears brand?...the only thing that doesn't work on it is the clock.

Yep, not a good night around Chi Town.

They'll make decisions on the several possible reports of tornadoes.  They alerted us all day long, but always hard to see and deal with.  As tsk said it stayed north and west of the main corridor.  I actually felt at the beginning that it was going to e north of me, maybe just rain.  Nope, I got lots of hail and lots of rain; a bit too scary amount of popcorn-sized hail beating on the mansion.  Two worst areas mentioned and shown on morning news was Geneva and Lake and East Chicago burbs.  Temperatures also took a big dive.  Before the front slipped in it was about 73 - Got up this morning to a brisk 28.  Under the afghan last night.

Just to mention/remind ya'll - tsk and I are about 20 miles apart.

Phyl, thanks for RRP update on the Golden Eagles.... thanks for update on Grindavik. I listened to the update I received in my X box before I left for our morning walk. The town will be no more soon.

Tsk, Take care from the storms.

Clynn, I hope all goes well for Sophie...Good luck with your appts and busy day.... love the tub planter.... sneaky Devils would make a great and tough puzzle... beautiful Sylvan Lake

Tig, Talons crossed for Iowa, keep safe and warm...  :)

Lisa, great job catching HD on Decorah cam yesterday.  :)


Royal Albatross - 2/27 Weigh day with Colin
This is the first weighing for Top Flat chick without a parent in attendance. Colin is very steady with slow movements to reassure chick its okay.
At 35 days old TF chick weighed 2.2kg slightly down from last weeks 2.3kg.  LGL will feed chick later on.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1762420721077326250

It's Top Flat Track chick's turn with Mom BOK, and
guess what? At 27 days old TFT chick weighed the same as TF, 2.2kg up from 1.4kg last week.

Also WYL came in & LGK was in for a brief pitstop.
Sharyn's update will be shared later tomorrow. Cheers!

Track Flat (TF) Chick looks very content :-*

I got a text from my Bro that his B.I.L. had a good report from doctors after he had a heart attack and stent inserted. Good.

CLYNN   WOW  You two are really busy today.  Just like you having to get to doc appts and then it snows - At least no snow but bone chilling cold today.   I can say that our first camping spot as a family  to see if Mom and Dad liked tent trailer camping ( borrowed from a friend of Mom's) was at Sylvan Lake  ;D.  We bought their trailer and the rest is history and is how we saw lots of the USA as kids.

KB   We were very lucky and have dodged a lot of bullets.   Nothing like a tasty pot roast all in one meal.  ;)

PUFF  Glad to hear your power hung in there.  Pretty bad path of ruin.  One guy on the news went out to his car on the street and it was turned in the opposite direction from how he parked it.  Windows blown out.  :o   We just had a small bit of hail - not very big.

TIG - Would love to see your itinerary for this marvelous trip!!   B.L.L  ?   Glad that person came through stent placement OK  Hope there was no actual muscle damage to the heart.   Looks like a very teary memorial.  :'(

OLDGUY   Cool card to EROCK  ;D

LANI   That is one busy Mama with all those pups. 10?  :o :o    The ranger was so slow and gentle  Awww

tig - Where are you off to now?  I wanna be like you when I grow up!  ;D

kb - That looks delicious!  My potatoes never come out looking like that tho.  Mine look more like mush...lol. I must be doing something wrong.

oldguy - WOW, is that eagle real w/cupcake, if not it sure looks it. 

Lani - It was good to see HD.  :D  Thanks for the Royal update.
Misty never looked that happy with her kitties, as the doggie does with her pups.  Misty had that look like, "What am I supposed to do with these?"  ;D

tsk - I bet that was some shock for the guy with his car.  Glad to hear you did not get big hail. 

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: kbshcb on February 28, 2024, 01:39:39 PM

Tsk  so glad you didn't have much hail . I'm sure dreading the tornado season that come with spring here in the south.   >:( :(
Always being on alert and half packed


CLynn you're a busy gal today; hope all goes well at dentist's, Sophie/Sam  behave for her vacc's and  no probs with Sophie's snip-snip;
I saw Golden Eagles all the time growing up in the Mojave Desert, So Cal. They were always seen over head and no one dared leave their pets roam. From time to time we could look out our dinning room window and see one or maybe two perched on our fence . 

Same for me in 2014..I remember just hanging around the threads and getting a 'feel' of it all and learning lots; the days when we had  The Decorah Lounge ;  watching Jewell /cubs on bear cam.  And, it all  was  on Ustream .

Sneaky wood ducks LOL; awesome photo of Sylvan Lake in Custer Star Park, South Dakota

Puff tks for the reminder on locations for you and Tsk---you were in a rough path w/ the weather---electricity held   ;)

Tig  moving ceremony; glad you BIL got good news and all

Lisa Misty and her litter ---she was so cute w/that puzzled look on her face


KB had pot roast Monday dinner  :)  in doing  so, got me thinking time for more chili

Lani tks for the Royal Albie update---the rangers are a wonder

Will not repeat all that has been said except that I had a range that looked like yours old guy but it was a dual fuel,  gas burners and electric oven, broiler!    Kenmore.  Great appliance!   No gas here so back to all electric!

Hot today!  Glad you ladies dodged the bullet nut that story about the car is pretty amazing!
I too love the proud look of mama dog and all her children!  The look on Misty's face tells the story!   She did good though!   Lisa do u hear from  the children?   Hope all are doing well!  Has Misty settled into domestic life abd srevm and b getting along well,

Clynn, let us know how Sofie does!  That is   A lot with surgery and shots all at once!  Wow!   Your littler adventuresome explorer may be laid low for a few days!

LISA   That pic of Misty is a stitch!  ;D ;D

PHYL   Technically it's unheard of to get tornados in this area in February.  Wisconsin has already had one as well.  Lots of records being broken this "winter".

LORI   Our "treats" gal.  Always delicious  ;D

Winds were brutal today.  Was out twice.  Big parka and hood.

comments on over cooked potatoes in slow cooker...
This is the unit that I use - it has a dial that rotates to select temp.  Made in the early 1980s
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1683809285/vintage-west-bend-slow-cooker-autumn?
4 hours for vegies is about perfect time in a slow cooker - I like roast beef at about 8 hours.
I set my temp so the water in bottom is about 200-210.  I did a roast for Sat. night and started it at 9am for 5:30 serving.  I added potatoes and carrots at 1:30pm.  Everything comes out great - meat temp was 175 to 185 - firm enough to slice, but I could cut it with my fork to eat.  Carrots were done - most I could use a fork to stab and remove from pot without breaking them.  Potatoes were fork tender and mashable.  I don't own a newer crock pot with the 4 position temp switch, so I don't know what temp they cook at on high or low.
This is the pot I do my chili in...

Kb - Do you mean cook them whole in the crockpot with roast?  Do you peel yours like in the pic when cooking?

Phyl - She still gives us that look sometimes, but she knows she is loved. 

Lori - Hey girl...how are ya?

karen - Here is a pic of Sydney that B & K posted today. They put pigtails in her hair, but the one with both tails was blurry.  I thought this pic was cute.  ;D

tsk - That is one of my favorite pics of Misty & kittens.  I see the winds are going to pick up here in the next few hours.  I don't think they are supposed to be as bad as yours, tho.

oldguy - Thanks for the info!

Good night, everyone!

Lisa - I don't peel my Yukons just wash with a vegetable scrubber....yes, cook whole or if they are large cut in halves or quarters...I cooked it all together today and was all good at 6 hours on low.
I only had 1 1/2 pounds of roast meat but followed the recipe otherwise the same..

I should say, like oldguy, I could cut my carrots and meat with a fork, and I cut the potatoes in smaller pieces and they weren't mushy but cuttable with a fork or spoon.

TIG   Very impressive ceremony.    RIP  :'(

PHYL   Tornados are very common in Ill.  We have a tornado belt where they are most likely to occur.
We shall see about those hurricanes... ???

Tsk I  sorta thought tornadoes were common in Illinois . There's such a belt that runs thru the MidWest down to the South.  I really don't like spring  in Tenn because of them. And, didn't like it in Mo for same reason.

CLynn how's Miss Sophie? I'm concerned.

Tig tks. that's some procession. And,  well deserved too.  ;)

Lisa like Karen,  is Sydney standing on her own?

I have never cooked on a gas stove/oven. Except in my parents mountain cabin near Idyllwild, Ca.      Nah---I'll take all electric appliances
Dinner tonight: meatloaf w/tomato sauce; baby red mashed potatoes, peas and carrots. And, a garden salad

Tig, looks like it was a very teary and well-attended memorial. I'm so sorry for their loss.  :'( ... I send prayers for Bro's BIL.

Lisa, we have to give Misty some slack here being a first time mom at such a young age. The pic shows she's in shock and looking at you for guidance.  ;D :-*
oh my, Miss Sydney is growing! Love that smile and those eyes. Thanks for posting.  :-*

Oldguy, thanks for the tips. I'm going to make a pot roast tomorrow. All this talk is making me hungry.

Phyl, crazy weather everywhere. Thanks for weather info. Beautiful good night pic!

T40, thanks for the story to the Wildlife cams. I caught a few snaps from Africam Rosie's Pan. I hadn't watched that cam in a few years.

Eagles, beautiful sunset .... take care  :-*

Good night from Rosie's Pan!

I've never seen so many Lions taking a rest at Rosie's Pan! One male King surrounded by his harem and cubs.
A couple of the females look pregnant.

Royal Albatross ~ LGK Gets To Meet TFT For 1st Time! 🐥 Shares Affectionate Preening w/ BOK 💕 2.25.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4w-uKxWgKQ

Feb 25, 2024
Dad LGK spent the night with TF and in the morning he gave two feedings. At the nest to the right TFT BOK flew in for another changeover with WYL. The coverage begins with LGK getting up and walking to the cam and giving us some great closeups! LGK is one handsome dude!! 💕 After several minutes of admiring himself for the camera, he heads over to TF who is not interested in another feeding at that time.

LGK walks over to BOK who is sitting on the nest and he reaches over and gives her some affectionate preening. He also does a playful nip at her feathers. They have a friendly neighborly interaction (no he is not disloyal to LGL by preening another female!) :) Albatross mate for life and very loyal and dedicated to their partner. Even when a partner dies, it can takes years before the bereaved albatross will start to find a new mate. LGK is just being neighborly 💕

BOK gets up and LGK gets to see TFT and touch it with his bill - sort of like the elephants that touch a new born ellie with their trunks! Very tender moment. Looks like both WYL and BOK will be good neighbors to LGK & LGL. ♥ LGK gets up and has a beautiful departure over the water! Hurry home LGL we miss you! Thank you for watching!

Kb lovely scarlet ibis; the ibises that were 'sacred' to ancient Egyptians were white.    Although their murals show some as black. They  sacrificed ibises by the millions, murdering and mummifying the sacred birds as tributes to Thoth (pronounced like “oath,” with a “th” at the beginning), who also oversaw justice, magic and the judgment of the dead.

I'm so lucky! White Ibis are at the retention pond next to my building every day. Big long, curved beak... like an oil rig... up and down in the dirt, all the live long day! There is one in particular one, here daily, solo, except for his good buddy, the Great Egret.  :D :D :-* :-* :-*

TSK... I was following the bus, as it was on my route for about 5 blocks, and was pulling away from me after I reached 35 m.p.h.

Very sore hip tonight after sitting most of the 4.5 hours in laundry room on regular chair and 2 hours at BWW on regular chair. Pain pills didn't help much. Hmmm

SED

I don't know what BWW is (is that something most people know?), or what your cause of hip pain is, but I know hip pain of any kind - arthritic, or otherwise - is no fun. I hope you feel better soon. ((Hugs))

Well, baz I did find and watch your team.  Why NC?  Your school or family connection? 

First half low scoring, but picked up tone the second half.  Got just crazy at the end.  Liked watching their two little guys (racing around little guys/rabbits), exciting play by #4 and #2, Davis and Cadeau.  What year are they?  Hope you get more time with them in other years.

Looked all through the stands for you and the sign.   8)   I'm sure I finally found you.  You were the one wearing the blue sweatshirt, right?   :P

P

Puff, you're hilarious!!!  ;D ;D ;D I was not wearing a sweatshirt. I am waiting for my sister to send me the pics of us at the game with the UNC mascot, Ramses, the Fighting Ram. I will share a pic here when I get it.  ;) :D   I went to school there, at UNC-Chapel Hill, as did my siblings and father. Our blood runs Carolina Blue, as the saying goes.  ;D    ;) :D

Theres's so much good, and fun, stuff that happens on the court - during the breaks and halftime - that doesn't appear on TV.

Our Friend & Photographer Steven Smith went over to Decorah on Sunday and look what he found!!!!!! Dude/HD & Missy/HM INCUBATING at their New Nest, N5 on the other side of the Bluff!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ They have Eggs! Oh! Happy Day!!!! 🙂 The incubation period for these eggs is approximately 35 days. Although we don't know the exact days that they were laid we will have some kind of an idea counting 35 days from February 25 which would be March 30th! Also, I wonder if the warmer weather might affect the incubation period this year as bald Eagle Incubation in the southern states tend to be shorter due to the warmer weather! 😉 Thank You! Steven Smith for sharing the Big News and Pictures with us! ❤

And the local temps continue E4E. . .

Tuesday (2/27) our record high is 75, made it to 73. Almost!  Darien made it to 76. 

Today (2/29) our record low is 12, made it to 20.  Darien this morn down to 15.

They call it lake effect!?!?  Again, tsk follows closer to the official figures because she'd close to O'Hare.  My numbers seldom agree with ORD or TSK.

Don't recall any rain totals.

I am so glad you all had a great time at the game! I understand the note your sister slipped into your Dad's pocket! Hope you get the picture today!

tig, I had to Google BWW!

Lani, love that picture of the lion and his harem! Wow, he has a big harem, several of them look pregnant! And they are all sleeping, maybe the kids have worn them out!

Phyl, cute little Japanese Flying Squirrel! Sydney was close to being a Leapling!  Sophie wasn't wiped out at all, she started wrestling with Sam as soon as she got home! They sent a fabric covered e-collar and had it off 2 seconds after we tied it on. I ordered a onesie, it will be here before noon. But she doesn't seem to be bothering her incision much. Was Maggie as young as Sophie, (almost 4 months old)? She has always been a ball of energy, trying to her is like trying to hold jello!  25 here now, high 56 today. Much better day than yesterday! Climbing to 78 by Sunday! Not so good hurricane season news!  Thanks for the Leap Year article!

E4E, just one appointment today! Sophie is just fine, she started the rough housing almost immediately when she got home! I put her in our bedroom by herself for a while and she calmed down. My plan was to have one confined to each floor for the night, but Sam and her were meowing at each other at the bedroom door, so I let him in. They were good and went to sleep together. They are still up there sleeping I hope, I haven't heard anything (they are right above me).

Lori, your Birthday treats for Sydney look delish!!

Lisa, I love that picture of Sydney, she is a beautiful baby, those eyes are so pretty!

oldguy, you are a chef! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Now listening to my favorite classical music piece: "Scottish Fantasy" by Bruch.

Never heard it sound this good.

Soundbar and subwoofer attached to tv is phenomenal listening. We can just pull up apple music app on tv and play any piece of music in all genres...

Clynn, looks  like Sydney had a day full of lovin spoonfuls!   Sofie is something!  Good for her! 
Cooler here today.  51 now going to 67!   Back to the 70s soon!  Too hot! 

Had problems with a fairly new printer and had the Geek squad here!   As I suspected, dried out ink!  I  ordered ink delivered in yhe am so when he got here I was prepared if that was the issue.  He also changed it to wireless so I can print from the i pad!   Better as I cannot see well on the laptop!  Darn.

Phyl, thanks for Leap Year info! The Momonga, Japanese dwarf flying squirrel is so cute with a darling chirp.

Baz, great to see you! Geez, you were up in the early hours, I hope you sleep in today!  :-* ... Sounds like you had a blast at the game!  ;D ... NC and KU's connection goes back to NC's great coach Dean Smith! Smith played college basketball at the University of Kansas, where he won a national championship in 1952 playing for Hall of fame coach Phog Allen.  It's a special connection we have!  :-*

Clynn, Awww, what sweet pics of Sydney with Miss Bella and Talon (a mama and her babes)  :-* ... stunning pic of Heaven Gate of Tianmen Mountain. .. glad to hear Sophie is doing well. I hope your appts went well too. Love your morning pics.

Lisa, awww another adorable pic of Miss Sydney! Shaky or not, she's got strong slim little body pushing the cute walker.  Love her jammies!  :-*

Tig, have fun!

Karen, glad your printer situation is in hand... take care.

Kb, awww, sweet pic of Sandhill chick and mama.... so glad your new tv and sound system is working out great! 


Royal Albatross - 2/29
Hi everyone Sharyn's latest update from Feb 27. It contains interesting info about the health checks recently done on the colony's chicks including TF chick and TFT chick.

Top Flat Track nest
BOK and WYL discuss post-guard timing? WYL: I'm not convinced. Sits on TFT again. BOK always checks on Top Flat chick too, either before leaving or returning from trip.

TsK.... It is a model A club. They do this "run" every 4 years to prove that a 94 year old car is still wonderful. It is fun for the public to see them ... especially in the cold of winter (model As do not have heat). They gather for coffee and rolls and then they drive to the next community where they make a stop for some special site or event. Then, they drive elsewhere and stop for lunch. All of this is secret and just planned by a couple of the members. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/land-of-10000-stories/model-a-fords-greet-winter-once-every-four-years/89-3d9c0b05-42fd-4337-94b5-90079e2186c2&ved=2ahUKEwisuvGCptGEAxXmHEQIHUAzAR0QFnoECBMQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3s8p0SqhyNXiBDTIB5V5pT

Careful KB "just in case" mostly ends piled up "stuff" collections.  And I have to have a lot of nerve to even mention that cuz. . .

Computers :-\  There are 3 pathways to scan and email with my equipment.  Haven't solved that one in a couple weeks.  Hope to fix soon or it's a call to my PC MD.

tsk I'm taking a chance tomorrow on unplugging the plug on my heated bird bath and filling the regular one.  Sounds like a bad idea; if I do that we'll have more deep temperatures come back.  Warm enough for big fountain, too.  But that will take time and cleaning/scrubbing.   :(

Exactly, Puff...I sorta said that tongue and cheek....I have still so much to throw I would need one of those dumpsters....one day ;)

If I was a great Mom I'd do that ASAP.....I'm trying however, and some of this is just related to how much energy I have given Scott died....I'm working on it slowly now though.

For me, intense grief gets better over time, but never ever gets that much better. :) Contrary to what they say, it never goes away. One just puts one foot in front of the other and it does get a little faster over time.

CLynn  very creative tree stump camo; perfect definition of 'hippie'  ;)   ;great snaps of Sydney and the Munchkins; cool birthday balloons for Sydney.
Breathtaking photo of  Heaven Gate of Tianmen Mountain. Good news on Sophie

KB great closeup of Sandhill crane/chick,  cute caption.  All went well w/ TV  ;)

Tsk those  Japanese  Momonga are so cute. Maggie never notice her incisions either, etc. 

Lori    :)

Lisa   she's developing well  ...such cute Sydney snaps and sleepers w/ bunny slippers. How her hair has grown!


Bazi nice story about your Dad's jacket

Lani enjoy  reading the  Royal Albie updates w/ photos and  chick's weights and measures ---glad  script on that enlarged  as image was 'fuzzy'. Tks

Puff  good luck w/PC issues.

Time's a'wasting Clynn  tsk .  There are 63 designated national parks, mostly west of the Mississippi.

That's something I might try to check on how many I've been to; never made a list.  But never felt any were a waste of a sidetrip.  I'm a big proponent of USA travel.  Our country is something we all should see and treasure.

Quote from: BrokenLug on February 25, 2024, 09:26:39 PM

Puff you have reignited Pip and I's National Park's we have hiked in thus far. 

Our criteria for having visited a National Park: 
Entered it and experienced it in some form or fashion.   
I've driven, trained, flown, boated, walked, skied to get to our National Parks etc ..
As far as conveyances go once inside of our NP's .. that gets real crazy. 

Our very dear intrepid friend Todd who has been to 62 USA National Parks in a wheelchair since birth has a big surprise coming up in 2025.
He's going to the National Park of American Samoa.

The only person I've ever para - glided into a National Park with I shit you not. 

You got more to break than I got bro.

Shh ..  he'll have to know 6 months in advance.     
 
I've hiked in 38 NPs.
Pip's hiked in 42 out of the 63 NPs.

So how did Pip get to 4 more National Parks than you ?  :o

Quote from: tsk34 on February 26, 2024, 06:55:02 AM

BL   Sounds like a wonderful restful time for you both.  More folks need that nature experience.
Pretty cool about your and Pip's similarities/birth etc  Thanks for sharing.   

Suspect you both might have us all beat in national parks.

I tend to think of it as great perk of this great country The United States of America our National Parks are.   ;D

If you've ever nature treasured being in just one well than you get it.   8)

Lani - Like how you gave loving tribute to Misty for being a first time mom with her little sweet kittens in the beautiful picture!    I really love the elephants!!!

Baz - My mom is a sweet lady, but when she wants something, she really speaks up! ;)    Carolina blue!! ;D   Lol! Your nails!!

Phyl - Like the fun facts about Leap year!    You are correct in what you mentioned to Puff & Kb; that everyone's grief is personal & different (with their spouse passing).  I know this from my sister who's husband passed in 2015 at age 50.

Puff - Temps are up and down for sure!!

Clynn - You are so nice to forward Sydney her birthday wishes from the Beak!!   Fun to look forward to her birthday dinner on Sunday.  I love how your family celebrates your birthdays with lots of love!! ;D   Love all the beautiful pics you posted of Sydney and the Munchkins!    It sounds like Sam wanted to be with Sophie when she got home - especially you said they both went to sleep.  I think he comforted her.

Kb - Pretty Sandhill crane!  Happy you are enjoying your music!

Karen - No problem on the name/birthday mix up - easy to do - no biggie!  :)   Wow, your area is having a nice warm temp!    Cute Maltese pups!! :)

Lisag - Love the cute picture of lil Sydney holding onto the little walking toy! Too cute!!! ;D

Tig - Sounds like a great time!! Enjoy!! ;D   Fun event for all the model A's!!    Thank you for expressing what I believe, that no one should ever tell someone that they should 'be over it'.

Puff - Hope it goes well with the unplugging of your birdbath!

The Munchkins will be here this morning! Erin has an important meeting he has to attend at work (he normally works from home on Fridays), the kids have no school today and Sydney's school is not off today! His meeting is from 8:00 to 12:00 so we will have a few hours. Bella will be all about the kittens!

T40, I remember most all of those things from the 70s!

Lani, and they still make the Corn Popper! I got one for Bella when she started walking!  I watched the Renovation Aloha show yesterday, it was good! Worth watching!

E4E, good for your Mom! No need to be silent...  Yes, Sam wants to be with Sophie, he seems to know not to wrestle too hard with her right now!  He never hissed at her once when she came home from the vets, like she did to him for a few hours!

karen, the puppies are so cute in their jammies!

Lisa, I love the picture of Sydney, love her dark hair and eyes and she has the sweetest smile! I bet she will be an early walker!

HI EVERYONE

PHYL   Haunting flyway last night  ;)

TIG    Rough time losing parents.. :(    Camper is your angel.. ;) ;)

KAREN    LOLOL  Those Maltese are so cute.  Jammies no less.

BL   What a friend in Todd. :o  An amazing guy.   And now we find out you have para glided!  What a wonderful surprise American Samoa will be.  Are you going with ?  It doesn't surprise me that you and Pip have had some amazing National Park adventures.  You should be able to knock off the remaining parks in  a heartbeat.  ;) ;)

T40   I think that list will generate a lot of conversation.  Yes I must say my orange apt with my macrame hangings - made by me, and my fondue set made for a nice party atmosphere.  Still have my ever faithful crockpot, tray tables - repurposed - almost that exact alarm clock and my updated Hoover  LOLOL  Great trip down menory lane.

CLYNN    LOL  Did you warn S& S about the visitors  LOL      Think I would belt my self to the Eagle Cree Trail.  Enjoy the morning!

LANI   I too watched Renovation Aloha - WOW

PHYL   Interesting women's history month.

OK  OK   OK  I'll leave the heater bird water plugged in a bit longer.  But it won't be long - 50's today, 60's tomorrow.  I'll sweep up the driveway tomorrow though; wind that blew through on Wednesday broke off a few small branches.  Water guage and oriole feeder to follow shortly after that.  And Lani you remind me that I have to have windows cleaned outside especially the bay kitchen window by the bird feeders.

Lots of memories stirred up with those oldie-but-goodies. I have to admit some I still have and use and will keep:  8-tracks (sell to collectors who still have machine), wood paneling - white - in downstairs rec, crock pot for chili making, portable Smith-Corona electric (former typing teacher still uses it once in a while for special adaptations), knit (not crochet) afghans (some I made, first one I ever made 1960's between classes in college and very special crocheted one from first husband's grandmother made for me! when her grandson stole the one she made for us, still have and use daily both corelle kitchen set and corelleware cookware for my 1980's Amana glasstop stove,  etc etc etc.

Can I kinda stretch the rules and mention a great trip just started - OK I will.
All the talk about National Parks done recently just coincided with a new goodie being offered by Trafalgar.  One of two of the best tour companies.  Even if you (or I) have covered some before there's always a new viewpoint or a special remembrance, a special memory.  Most of you have my contact or can message me?  It's also an easy and thorough way to cover that someday list. . .

https://www.trafalgar.com/en-us/tours/scenic-parks-explorer?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=bigtoursale&utm_content=tt-usa-global-pros-em13-bigtoursale-2024-02&sfname=2024-02-tt-usa-bigtoursale-em13-pros&sfmc_sub=368755693

Added it to my bucket list - and I grew up there!!!!  Someone recently said mine is more of a barrel than a bucket... ;D

Clynn, enjoy the kids today!   Nice surprise.  Sydney is having a long celebration time!   Good for her!
Phyl,  remember that about Hedy Lamar!   Beauty and Brains!   Thanks for all your posts!
Tsk, bet your Fondue parties were fun!   Loved them but disposed of all the stuff!   Recycled two crock pots and wish I had  kept  last one!   Never really used them!  Tsk, I can picture your orange apt!  Lovely cozy place!
Have a great march  first!    Keep all your old, warm, happy , loving , fun memories and discard the bad!

Cannot even think of riding over that road in Eagle Creek. Oregon!  Not even walking on it!   Bl, if you and Pip go, be cautious!

Love all the tulips this Morning!

PUFF   Great trip for someone new to the Nat'l Pks.  I personally loved Bryce Canyon.

KB  Cool video.  Always know it's a pileated - holes are rectangular  ;) ;)  The red headed in the photo is so beautiful.

KAREN  The only thing orange in my life now is orange flavored enhanced water and oranges  LOLOL  I had an orange sofa and hooked a circular sunburst wool rug I still have to this day in the basement where I exercise  LOLOL   I had a black bean bag chair in the apt as well.   The one rough thing about a crockpot is that they are heavy.  If I was alone I would get a smaller one.

T40, Enjoyed going back in time... I still have my Pyrex wedding set, I gave Aly my Pyrex bowls... Fondue pot, Crockpot, almost same clock.. I also have tucked in an old trunk for the girls, "Simon Says" "Fisher Price toys" "Sesame Street albums" "Grover" "Cabbage Patch dolls" a few of my old 45s. Mike has a Kansas childhood friend that keeps his baseball card collection in a vault.

Phyl, very interesting about Hedy Lamar.

Puff, what a great 15 day tour. Though, I'd love to take it slow. I've been to 8 of those listed on the tour.

Tsk, I'll have to watch Renovation Aloha!

Kb, interesting video.

Happy national MN day! A survey says Minnesotans are top of the list in being proud of their state.

Seeing a new doctor today... he is the son of my thyroid specialist that retired. Fingers crossed he will be as good.

tig - Good luck with new doctor, and Happy National Minnesota Day. 

Lani - Aww, your lambs are so cute this morning. 

karen - We are expecting that rain tonight, too.  Aww, puppies in their jammies, so cute!

kb - Pretty redheaded woodpecker.

Puff - You have some good, old but goodie stuff.  Was looking at your link to the Parks, and one of my friends used Trafalgar for her bucket list trip to Italy, and she said, it was the best trip she had ever been on.

tsk - An orange apartment...I bet that was cool. 

Phyl - I knew about Mayim Bialik, but not Natalie Portman, interesting! I agree on FP making the best developmental toys.

clynn - Hope you are having a great day with the munchkins!  Thanks for the kind words.  Bradley was an early walker, so I wonder if she will take after him on that?  I might be able to do the Eagle Creek Trailhead, holding on to that handrail!   ;D

T40 - Thanks for the link, and trip down memory lane.

E4E - Thank you!  She seems to like it, and her lil car too, they said.

Tsk sadly it still looks like late Fall/ early Winter from my window; hope Margaret is doing well today.

Puff I too have a 'barrel' list. Should Jim 'get lucky' playing Tenn Lottery---as my travel advisor, you'll be one of the first I call.  ;)

KB perfect specimen of Red Headed Woodpecker;  Great video short---Go Woody! Go. That tongue is a great shock
absorber for the brain. Immaculate de-barking.  LOL that G. Shephard.

Lani I still have much of my mother's '60's and 70's household items--some I  use to this day.  If it wasn't broken---it never got replaced. I still use
the wooden handled potato masher from the late 1940's.  Toys, oh yeah.

Tig here's to a great visit and report from  your new doc.  ;)

Lisa Yeah---Natalie Portman did that as a teenager in high school.  It was Elvis who got me standing at an early age---story goes I'd hear him
sing  on Ed Sullivan from my crib ...pull myself up and 'sing' and gyrate my baby hips.   :-[   :-[

Light rain today...seafood pizza, romaine/baby spinach w/ romas and hot cocoa w/ Redi Whipp for dinner tonight.  My 'My Little Old Lady' curled up in my seat
purring and fast asleep.   :-*

Post by: Puff on March 01, 2024, 01:18:43 PM

Oh, Oh, look what I did.  Got myself all wound up and talking to myself.  May as well share with y'all. . .

Lani Yep you're kinda in the general area of the tour.  And I've been there and done that too.  You recall I was born in Colorado?  Born in Denver, part of my ashes will be spread in the mountains when I die.  That's days and days, weeks and weeks, and years spent in the area. What's nice is the sights and pace of this  2 week program.  Did you open the side panels on the daily coverage?  I feel this is a slow/easy pace.  As a contrast would be a 9 day trip once to Hawaii Island; stayed in 7 hotels, and active schedule from 6a-10p. Glad I went?  Of course!

Phyl I do understand having a barrel.  Problem is I have more free time, but I also now have this fussy body, and the barrel is not full of $$$$.  One more problem is I've not be told how much time is on my clock.  I'm stubborn and I will do whatever I can.  I could tell you instances of some of my people I've helped.  Determination is inborn.  I'm just not done yet.  I'm also not of the mindset to sit and wait in Darien to die.

I do know I'll be making this Trafalgar tour someday, somehow!

Trafalgar does get kudos from their travelers, too.  I also am pleased with their way of servicing me.  I used to be, and at times still am, a control freak.  Pampering and relaxing is not a vice.  Know your wants and the choices and when it's time to take a break.  That being said-- Greece 2020 was too much,too fast, too hilly.  Waited too long to do that.  Budapest 2021 enjoyable and fun.  Super Bowl, parade, game, Santa Monica 2023 was enjoyable and fun and a new solo experience.

You get older you get wiser.  We learn to relax, observe, enjoy.  Ton always was one to nap even during "working" hours.  I haven't started napping yet - but there are times I'll sleep all the way 7 o'clock.  ;D

Style of thinking and living (for me) started changing when I hit 60-65.  I found another great way to travel can be to use/let others make plans.  They drive, move luggage, tell you where to look.

This will be my 12th journey to ATF - sure I'll go again!!!!!

Thanks for your time and patience with my rattle.  Love You All

Yep, I found out he has actually been with the group for a year and a half, so he had time to learn even more on the job with his dad. He kept the appt. moving but was attentive to my questions. He explained our plan going forward for monitoring the thyroid and the osteopenia. He explained I should get my dexa scan from the same machine biannually for consistency. There was a blood draw for tests. And my resting pulse was 68 and BP 112/60. I'm the healthiest overweight person I know. LOL.

So... Caitlin is heading to the NBA. Hmmm

Post by: Phyl on March 01, 2024, 06:18:56 PM

Lisa I basically used a Red Lobster recipe with some personal tweaking.

Ultra thin pizza crust not tortillas

Roasted Garlic Butter Spread
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
4 ounces drained    diced  (canned -me)  Roma Tomatoes  drained for 15 minutes in a colander ( I have a special 'thingy' that fits over the can and I drain that way) Not fresh then diced
2 tablespoons fresh Basil
2 ounces  packaged Lobster Meat  drained for 15 minutes in a colander. Same for Crab claw meat. One can ,dice the seafood pieces if desired. I just sprinkle the shreds over the crust and let the pizza cutter do the rest
1/2 cup Italian Six-Cheese Blend
Kosher /Sea Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
1 Lemon to serve (Jim likes this---I don't)

Lightly brush entire topside of crust, edge to edge, with garlic butter.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over the garlic butter.
After draining the diced tomatoes, sprinkle evenly over Parmesan cheese.
Wash basil and shake off excess water. Pick off leaves and stack on top of one another. Using a chef's knife, cut into 1/8-inch strips. Do not chop. Sprinkle evenly over the diced tomatoes. I use dried basil.
After draining the lobster /crab (claw , I sue) meat, sprinkle it evenly over the tomatoes.
Sprinkle Italian six-cheese blend evenly over the diced tomatoes.
Refrigerate until ready to cook. I make/bake  right before dinning
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Brush a pizza pan or pizza stone lightly with vegetable oil ( for stone use bread crumbs  this is what I do/use) and sprinkle lightly with ground black pepper and kosher/sea  salt. I omit the salt and pepper.
When oven is ready, place pizza on pan  or stone and cook approximately 4 - 5 minutes at most. I usually keep a watch as the
crust is so thin.
 
Let cool slightly in  pan and cut into 8 wedges. I do this. Not RL

Squeeze fresh lemon over pizza for extra flavor and serve. I don't--

Be sure you drain the tomatoes and the lobster meat before sprinkling them over the pizza shell. Otherwise your pizza will turn out soggy.

Tonight I'm deviating and using softened butter spread over pizza crust and a thin layer of Alfredo sauce then the crab/lobster meat then drizzle w/olive oil. I usually serve white wine or beer.draft cider. And, green salad w/romas oil/vinegar dressing


Puff    Thanks for getting al wound up about travel.   :-*

Tsk I agree the macarons do look 'springy' and tasty; Never eaten at a Culvers--have one in Cool Springs TN.  though.

Tig  congrats on good report from your young new Doc. It helps to like your doctor. My nephew Matthew, Dan's son chose not to finish engineering  classes at USC.   Instead accepted a managerial post w/ McDonalds and a scholarship after a  few years. We shall see.

TIG  ......   Yes too bad Caitlyn chose not to finish college...I'll try and catch that game on Sunday.  right?

TSK
Caitlyn will graduate in May - if she would have decided to stay for a 5th year (Covid extension) she would have to pick a major for grad school.  My thinking is that she did not want to build up on the records in a 5th year of playing, that would likely never happen again for any future players.  She also does not have any more big records to shoot for...  Another factor is that 3 other starters graduate this year - Money is not an issue in her decision - she is the highest paid NIL athlete this year in any sport.  Newspaper estimated that she is making over $800K for this year from her NIL contracts.  The max that she can earn from the WNBA is $250,000 per year.

Phyl, I love  reading you descriptive menus  recipes.  I think I would like the Alfredo sauce one thar you are doing the best!  What crust do you get?  Can  you put  it  on
 the oven rack like with frozen?

Had Sams rotisserie chicken fresh green beans with baby. Bella  mushrooms and a garden

Lani - You mention that Shannon had a popcorn popper toy, and so did my children!    I have a pyrex baking set (2 ea.), and even though one has a slight chip in the lid, I still keep it!!  I received as a wedding gift too, so I will always hold onto it!

Clynn - I bet you had a great time with having the Munchkins over this morning!!! ;D   So nice that Sam didn't hiss at Sophie - he sounds like he is more mild! ;D    Wow! That picture out at Eagle Creek Trailhead, OR! :o

T40 - Interesting list!  I can identify with lots!

Tsk - I too enjoyed going down the list 'memory lane'! :)

Puff - Those parks all look like so much fun!!!

Kb - Like the colorful woodpecker!    I don't think I would throw another snowball at that GS! ;)

Karen - Although you mention that you didn't have FP toys growing up, sounds like you had others!! ;D

Tig - Hope all went well with your visit with the new doctor  :)   Just read about your visit and it sounds like you had a great appt and that all looks good!!

LisaG - I bet Sydney will take after Bradley and walk early! :)

Phyl - I've never had seafood pizza, but sounds like a yummy dinner for you & Jim! :)

Puff - No 'rattle' at all - I loved reading all that you talked about - thank you!!

Lisa, I'm old fashion about my pizza, not even pineapple is allowed.  :-X

{{{Puff}}} I always enjoy your "rattle."  :-*

Oldguy, Caitlin is making $800K! WOW! She won't make very much in the WNBA. Didn't realize they had such a low cap on salaries.  :( ... Mike said Caitlin broke KU's Lynette Woodard record for most career points.

karen, I love Alfredo sauce with seafood... your dinner sounds delicious too!

I've got to be in Mesa for a meeting at 9am tomorrow. It'll be a long day in the valley. I won't be able to check in until tomorrow night.

Lani, hope you have a good day with your meeting in the Valley! I am also old fashioned with my pizza! And my tacos!  ;D  Sweet ole bear...

E4E, yes, Sam is way calmer than Sophie!  I compare them to Talon and Bella... ::) ::)  I have a lot of old Pyrex that I can sell on eBay, Ed finds a lot of it at the thrift stores.  I suppose someone passes on and the kids don't know what to do with all the household goods so they donate them. I have sold a set of the nested colored Pyrex bowls for $100!

oldguy, thanks for the info on Caitlyn, I thought I had read somewhere that her degree was in Marketing? I also read that they gave the whole team an extra year of eligibility because of Covid, which makes sense when you have a winning team.

tsk, we had fish and chips from Off the Hook (the truck that travels around the Midwest) last night, even Kelsey wanted it, on Pizza Night! So we will have pizza tonight! I was surprised!

Lisa, it has been windy  here, but I think the cam makes it sound much worse! Wish they could figure out a way to filter the wind out!

Good Morning Everyone.... Happy Caturday!

Currently   48F but feels like 50F with a    High  63F  mostly cloudy with a  Low 27F 


OldGuy I just had the chance to catch up about Caitlin. Wishing her success in what ever she decides .  Good luck at cards tonight.

Karen when I made the seafood pizza for Lent last night I tossed the wrapper-  I'll have to---next time in Publix make a note.
If it helps it's found in the pizza crust display---in our Concord Rd. on Nolensville Pk location it's right there at the double doors that go to
the back of the store. There are 3 ultra thin crusts that actually are for using on grills. The wrapper will refer to that.

CLynn looks like you and Talon/Bella had a fun day yesterday. 'Birdy' looking  rock formation in Oregon.

Prayers for:   Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people.   Laken Riley/family; Twin Cities suburb- Minneapolis  ;  Lakewood Church community, Texas;  All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

PHYL   To be seen what happens to Matthew and his new position.  Nothing's written in stone!  Interesting blog from Amy - " nest neighbors".   How cute was that kitty and the eggs.  ;D ;D ;D

OLDGUY   Thanks for info on Caitlyn.  I have not been following women's basketball but will try and catch the next game Sunday I believe.

LANI   I'm not a seafood on pizza either  LOL   What a beautiful good night dog.  Have a good day.  Busy one for me as well.

CLYNN   Great use of a tree stump.  ;D    The last pic of Bella - Can't tell if she looks more like Erin or Sidney - Maybe a good mix of them both  ;D   Great photo of Pareidolia rock bird  ;D ;D

Thanx for the info from Amy and other great posts

Tig - I like a pineapple and ham pizza myself but anything else will do as well, except for fish on it.

Tsk - lulu helping with taxes....boy, you two look very organized inside that briefcase....come to my house please!.

Phyl - pretty kitty.

I'm pretty busy today as well!. Can't complain with temps in the 60's this afternoon.

Me thinks I'll have to get my lawn mower fixed by Glen sooner than later...it broke last fall and he was already doing snowblowers. I hope he has adapted to this year's temps.

Happy  Caturday!
E23 Branched this morning, to the veranda!  Wingersized and stepped up at 8:04 , wingersized up there and enjoyed the view!   As this kid stills waits for a parent to feed a lot of the time I hope  a fledge is not real soon!
Interesting comment about Bellas looks!  I was looking at the pictures from her mother’s birthday and also  thought she resemble Erin, although there was no picture of him for comparison.   No matter, she is a cute little girl!
Lisa, I was looking at Sydney and her colorful walker and thought we come into the world with diapers and a walker and go out the same way!   Lolol!  What goes around comes around?
Lani, cuddly dog in your goodnight photo!   I want Bear!   Beautiful coat!   Have a good , busy day in Mesa!
thanks for the pizza info Phyl!
My favorite pizza is cheese and sausage on a thin crust!   That was what I ate when it first appeared in Chicago and the suburbs!  Unos had not yet arrived and the thick crusted deep dish stuff was not heard of!   Pepperoni was not common!   The seafood pizza Phyl described sounds like  seafood Alfredo  on crust instead of pasta.   I cannot fathom ham and pineapple on pizza!   Sounds like Easter dinner to me!

The first Culvers in South Georgia is opening 3 to 4 blocks from me shortly!  The first time I have been around one!
Piper and I may do some work on taxes today!   All of you enjoy the day!  Temps close to 80 today!  A lil hot!

Phyl - Thanks for the recipe!  This sounds like something Jeff would really like. Printing it out now.  Thanks for the RRP blog post.

karen - Your dinner sounded good.  Love Sam's rotisserie chicken. 

E4E - I hope so.

Lani - Oh, I am not a pineapple on the pizza kinda person, either.  Enjoy your meeting.

clynn - I agree with that wind sound on the cams.  What a cool rock. Cute pics of the munchkins!

kb - Wow, beautiful the rare white cardinal!  Nice temps for you today.  We are rain all day.

kareng I was watching E23 yesterday doing a fine job at self-feeding.  No parent was there - don't know how long the food had been there.  Thought to myself  "won't be long before a maiden flight ?"

Hey, another posting about pizza?  That gave me a great idea. . .

I have an extra "Gino's East" pizza maker.  For those not from the Chgo area, Gino's is one of our local pizza go-to restaurants.  It makes the local creation - deep dish pizza.  Tony was the chef, quite an adventure for someone who didn't know what yeast is.  He ended up using powdered dry yeast.  I always use cake yeast when I make bread.  He found out about use of yeast and kneading.  He really did quite well.  It makes a great customized pizza. 

He found out about it when he had his first by-pass surgery and had to regulate his diet.  (No he wasn't that bad of an Italian, he just had some evil family genes.)   The pan makes about a 12" round pizza.  What was great for us for our varied tastes is that he could make my half lots of sausage and cheese and his with onions, green pepper, small bits only of sausage and cheese and whatever he found going thru the fridge.  Customized cooking.  Yeast means it takes an hour of rising, then it rises again a bit more while you add the toppings.  You can control the thickness when you put the dough in the maker by how much you flatten the dough.  Being a novice he thought you had to use a rolling pin; but not really you can just shape and flatten to choice.  He also was put on, me too, to a good tasting pizza sauce in a can.  It comes in two sizes - 10 oz and 15 oz.  The smaller can is sufficient.  The name Pastorelli.

Now the maker/pan:  It's a base with a cover, totally lined with teflon (?) so nothing sticks.  It is total electric, it takes about 1/2 hour 40 minute to bake.  I have made some for myself since ... It makes at least 6 good size wedges.  For me I've had 3 meals, yummy meals, if I say so myself.

When we got ours he had the Gino's name on it.  It's been sold to a couple other manufacturers.  Ton got it for $45.  Now they're maybe $100 if you can find it.  It turned out he liked the pizza and the job preparing so much that he bought one for his mom the chef, and one for each of the kids.  We took in his mom's when she passed away and then one of his kids wasn't using theirs so he took it back.  Adding them up I now have 3.  My DING hit today when I moved the cheeze in the fridge was ......... Anyone going to ATF who would like a pizza maker?  I do believe it would be quite $$$$$$ to ship.   It is heavy.  Hammacher is selling what looks like a similar model.  It's FREE to anyone going to AFT.    ;D  Such a bargain!

Tsk cute Lulu Caturday snap.

KB  leucitic  cardinal  very unusual

Karen not Seafood Alfredo on crust ...thin layer of real butter and even thinner layer of Alfredo sauce with crab and lobster on top. There has

to be a 'base' to hold the topping on.

I only tried the Red Lobster recipe once  and then with my modifications.
  When I make seafood pizza it's  with butter/Alfrado---not Red Lobster's.
 The combo is usually the traditional Canadian Bacon and pineapple. Which is tasty, first had one at Shakey's in Palm Sprgs when I was Junior High.  Jim's fave pizza is Pizza Supreme, a traditional pepperoni/mushroom w/ mozzarella cheese (my fave) ---But with slices of onion, tomato , black olives, broccoli .Another I've grown to enjoy and a Publix original from decades ago. 

Lisa don't make the Red Lobster version of Seafood Pizza  too much work and blah. IMHO --sweet Gingers for Caturday


Puff have you tried posting your Gino's Pizza ovens on  EBay or Amazon, even Etsy ?  I use a pizza stone in the oven---never directly  on the oven rack.
The type I use is just like this: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Cook-14-75-Pizza-Stone/dp/B000297YAS/ref=asc_df_B000297YAS&mcid=551bb3af30d13e2691b763714203437a?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79920803409779&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583520395347680&psc=1 (http://df_B000297YAS&mcid=551bb3af30d13e2691b763714203437a?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79920803409779&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583520395347680&psc=1)


Thanks for news on E23 branching.

Oh Yeah! Post Script on pizza stone use bread crumbs on top of the stone then add your pizza and bake as per
pizza manufacture's instructions.

TIG  ......   Yes too bad Caitlyn chose not to finish college...I'll try and catch that game on Sunday.  right?

Quote from: oldguy on March 01, 2024, 06:38:29 PM

TSK
Caitlyn will graduate in May - if she would have decided to stay for a 5th year (Covid extension) she would have to pick a major for grad school.  My thinking is that she did not want to build up on the records in a 5th year of playing, that would likely never happen again for any future players.  She also does not have any more big records to shoot for...  Another factor is that 3 other starters graduate this year - Money is not an issue in her decision - she is the highest paid NIL athlete this year in any sport.  Newspaper estimated that she is making over $800K for this year from her NIL contracts.  The max that she can earn from the WNBA is $250,000 per year.

OG, what you said!!  :D  Yep, she's graduating, and going to the WNBA. Incredible what she has done in the women's basketball game - and for breaking records for ALL NCAA college basketball - men and women! Breaking Pistol Pete's (Pete Maravich) scoring record of over 50 years ago? She only has to score 18 more points to do that! Most thought that was a record that could never be broken. They thought wrong. LOL. It will happen in her next game, tomorrow, Sunday, March 3rd, 1pm Eastern time. Here's a brief blurb about it, and where to watch that game - She will make all-time college basketball history in the 1st half of the game, so don't be late!

https://sports.yahoo.com/how-to-watch-caitlin-clark-break-pete-maravichs-all-time-ncaa-scoring-record-as-iowa-takes-on-ohio-state-182649818.html - How to watch Caitlin Clark break Pete Maravich's all-time NCAA scoring record when Iowa takes on Ohio State

Lani, yep, Dean Smith started out at Kansas U. I miss him sooo much! What a special person! We would see him in parking lots and restaurants in Chapel Hill from time to time, even after he retired. Such a genuinely nice person - always a smile and good word, and always friendly, and never too busy for a howdy-do. It's always extra special now to be in The Smith Center, named for him, and lovingly nicknamed The Dean Dome. I'm so glad he lived to see it.  :-* :-* You didn't mention it, but of course you and I are aware of the also-famous Coach Roy Williams, and his coaching at KU and then UNC, taking both teams to the NCAA Championship Final Game!! Lots of "love/hate" between KU and UNC for a bit when he left KU for UNC, but it's clear that both schools respect the history now.  :)

Lots of college basketball "doings" this weekend!

Today, Lani's No. 7 KU Jayhawks will play at No. 15 Baylor Bears (1pm Eastern) - it's almost halftime now - close game!! on the ABC network.

And TSK's No.5 Marquette Golden Eagles play at No. 12 Creighton's Bluejays at 2:30 Eastern on Fox.

And my No. 9 UNC Tarheels host the NC State Wolfpack today in Chapel Hill, in the Dean Dome, at 4pm Eastern, on ESPN. Go Heels!  ;D

And Yesterday!, Loyola's famous 104-year old Team Chaplain, and Lucky Charm, greatest fan, Sister Jean, was in action, courtside, when her Loyola-Chicago Ramblers had a big upset win over No. 21 Dayton Flyers!  ;D :-* Yay!!

Here's a nice blurb about Sister Jean, and that big game yesterday. (The picture of her in this article is from 2018 though):

Lani, hope you don't have to go to the office!  ;D  Oh... you said you are at a meeting today - hmmm, maybe you're missing the game. It's tied right now - near the beginning of the 2nd half.


Lots of pizza and seafood talk. LOL. The first time I heard of ham and pineapple pizza, I thought, "Yuck!" That was, until I tried it. Then I thought, "Mmm!"  :D  And the comment someone made about "Barf" on the thought of shrimp and pizza sauce with mozzarella cheese... LOL... I grew up eating Shrimp Creole often - a classic combo of shrimp in a highly seasoned tomato sauce, usually served on rice... may as well put it on a pizza crust! Ha ha... Clearly, I am not a pizza purist.  ;) :D :D

This morning, I made a shrimp and swiss omelet with lots of coffee! It was da bomb. Zippo enjoyed a corner of the omelet that was egg-only - no shrimp or cheese for her. She will knock you over for anything resembling a scrambled egg!  :D :D :-* :-*  I am currently prepping to make a batch of White Chicken Chili to enjoy during the 2nd half my basketball game later today. Go Heels!

T40 - Thanks for the videos.  :D

baz - What a great pics of you and Sis!  Baby Bro is getting big!  Mmmm, love me some Shrimp Creole. My MawMaw made that often, along with Cajun crawfish bisque.  Just thinking about both of those, I can taste them in my mind. 

karen - tsk is right...get the Butter Burger first!

Phyl - LOL, Dad passed out after long day with kids!

I took this picture of Sam and Sophie from outside, looking into the front window. They were enjoying the sun! They are laying on a stack of games on shelves, the trees are a reflection on the window.

Lisa, ah, that buttery flaky crust... Butter Burger is good, we like their fish sandwiches too!

T40, saving the videos for later, I know they will be funny!

tsk, I agree on the Butter Burger from Culvers, we also like the Cod sandwich!  Yum!

baz, you are so right! There are pizza purists, like me and then there are those who think of it like one would a sandwich...anything goes. Same with tacos, I couldn't eat seafood on a pizza or a fish taco!! I know, boring...  Great picture of you and your Sis, and such a cute Lil' Bro!

Erin and Sydney will be here in a while. we had to get a new TV!  Mine just QUIT! I turned it on this morning and there was sound but no picture, Ed tried everything he knew and nothing was wrong with DISH. Erin came over and looked at everything and decided the tv was bad. It's only 3 years old!
He said that is the only kind he will get is a Samsung. So I decided to go 10" bigger and ordered a Samsung - 65" Class Q60C QLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV. Don't know what the heck all that means but Erin says I will love it.

SF Bay Ospreys - And the season officially begins. 😍 Rosie touched down this morning at 7:12 am, soon accompanied by Richmond. She was away on migration 180 days, almost six months. To see what to expect in the upcoming season, visit our chronological FAQ at https://sfbayospreys.org/chronological/.

We just bought a new Samsung 77 inch QD-OLED..QD stands for quantum dot.

The 65 inch Samsung LCD is now downstairs in my bedroom and the Vizio in Chris' room

He knows all about this stuff.....hopefully the above link provides some info.

Our QD-OLED is very light cause it's not backlight.

For us, the soundbar and subwoofer are a great addition...

Hi Beakers, I hope Caturday was a good day for everyone!
It's been a long day, lots of traffic in the valley. There were a couple of times
I thought we were going to get in an accident.  :-X Lots of closed eyes moments.

I'll say good night early and catch up with everyone's Caturday tomorrow.

Have a good night! ;D

E4E, yes, I compare Sam and Sophie to Talon and Bella...  ;D  They will all be here today (it was just Erin and Sydney installing the TV last night). After they do my floors we will go out and eat for Sydney's birthday! Then we will come back here for her requested brownies/ice cream and she can open her birthday presents!

Lani, I hope you are getting some good rest and forgetting about the awful traffic! I don't like to go to certain stores on the weekend, it's just too much. I know here does not compare at all to Phoenix on the weekend, but I understand what makes you crazy!

Phyl, great Caturday cat pics, love the zillion dollar bill with the cat's picture on it! And Arnold has a job!  Hope Miss Maggie is doing well! WOW on the male/female Cardinal! Cute 365, I was waiting for something to pop up and it did!  Love the penguins and babies. 58 here now, high 77 today.  Open all the windows day!

kb, thanks for the info, Erin promised to show me what all this TV can do, I just wanted to be able to see the Guide and switch channels for now! I am sure there is a youtube out there! Ed also knows all that stuff, he has a 75" down in the Mole Hole, and I know he does a lot of recording and other stuff with the Hopper.  Not sure what kind it is.

tsk, was or is there a Giordano's that has rooftop seating in the warm months? Seems like we ate there when we visited Becky while she lived in Chicago! Very deep dish and good! The TV that only lived 3 years was a Toshiba! The next time we get a fish sandwich at Culvers I will tell Ed to get the Walleye! You have it, Sam has a very dark muzzle and points, Sophie is the lighter one! She has that little speck of dark fur on her chin that Ed says makes it look like a kid that has been eating chocolate!

some bounce

Had an ouch last night. After cleaning upstairs I rested a bit then prepared dinner. I was walking from the kitchen and placed my cane too far from my body and it slid on the floor. I righted myself quickly but my hip freaked out. Camper brought our cold pack and all seems well this morning. Resting and watching way too much TV today after I clean some on first floor.

Nancy incubating at her new nest. Nearby DNR nest. No camera this year. Remember, their previous nest fell down in our April ice/snowstorm last year and they lost their young chick. They hope to have a camera up here next season.

Good morning!  I checked on Jackie and Shadow last night and both were hunkered down on the nest with bad weather all around.  Looked on a little while ago and saw the same scene, Clynn captured!   Hatch due soon!   E 23 was being fed this am!  Initially thought this was a female but  now I think it may be too small!   Maybe a little M15!   Clynn, have fun with the family today and your new tv!  Put the eagle cams on there !
Lori, I am still stuffed from all the goodies you posted yesterday!  So good!
Lots of laughs with all the caturday posts!
Lani, hope you are rested!   Tig, it is okay to rest for a  day!
Dreary day but warm!  68 going to 78!
Baz, good pictures and looks like a fun time!   Baby Bro growing up!
Phyl, interesting Cardinal and information!
For several years in the last Century, I worked across the street from the original Unos and a few blocks south of Ginos East!   Kiddy corner across from the Medina Temple and saw the animals come in for the circus from my window!   Did not like the latter!

Hi Eagles I hope you're having a good weekend. ;D

T40, thanks for links.

Lori, prayers for Big Bear's nest. They always get hit with bad weather.  :'( ... Mike would love the banana pie.. yummy Brioche doughnuts! You always serve the best!  :-* ... fun Caturday pics.

{{{Baz}}} Love your great pics, it like is was a fun evening! Awesome fieldhouse!! Congrats on the big inter state rivalry game!!! Baby Bro in the NC blue jammies is no longer a baby! He's a big boy with gorgeous hair!  ;D :-*  .... I sort of mentioned Roy Williams in my post to you, just by posting his name (LOL), I won't deny there's still some hard feelings about that...  And he wasn't booed this last visit to Phog Allen's Field House! ;D 8).. But, before that, OUCH! ... Thanks for posting the basketball doings this weekend. MARCH MADNESS is around the corner!!! And I can hardly wait!! Love watching all the games. I think KU may be on the bubble, but that's okay, I'm all in anyway. Wouldn't miss a game! I wonder who will be this year's Cinderella team!  8)

Lisa, love your Caturday morning pic. Meeting was as wearing as the traffic. Glad it's done, next 4 hour meeting will be on zoom the 16th.

Karen, YAY! Great news about E23 branching... cheese/sausage/mushroom with extra cheese on thin crust is my favorite. Though I will not turn away from a magnificent Chicago deep crust pizza with extra cheese :-* .. growing up in Hawaii, people would assume I'm crazy about pineapple or Mai Tais. No to both for me. In fact, no one in my family likes pineapple on anything. My mouth puckers at the thought of eating one. :-X  My grandpa worked in the pineapple fields, and never brought one home. Now sugarcane is another story, grandpa would take me out to the cane field across the street from his home, cut a big stalk. Bring it home, remove the outer shell and cut chunks for me and the neighborhood kids to enjoy all day long.  ;D  8) .. In case someone thinks about too much sugar, I didn't get my first cavity until I was 22... I loved your comment to Lisa about diapers and walkers. LOLOLOL!  ;D ... I hope Piper didn't wear herself out doing taxes yesterday.

Puff, Pastorelli Pizza Sauce is now on my Walmart list! Oh my, your pizza maker will be gone in a sec at the ATF! Love the history of pizza and Tony.

Kb, a stunning rare white Cardinal... Gorgeous Jaquar, he just knows how majestic he is! ... YAY DNR Nancy! Prayers for this year's nest.

{{{Tig}}} Thanks for posting your videos of the Model Ts! Fantastic..... rest and take care, because your sweet Rosie is coming this week. Looking forward to seeing her pics.  ;D

Tsk, oh my poor Lulu tackling taxes! We're going to need to get serious about it soon. It's wonderful to see she's handling the task beautifully, being as organized as the briefcase is a great start.  :-*

Tsk, Lisa, Clynn, Karen, Phyl My Friday good night pic was from a senior dog rescue. The big ole Bear (my name for the sweet boy) won my heart. He reminded me of our Bandit our Bandido  :-* :'( :-*. That we rescued when he thought to be 11. I miss him very much. What a lover boy, Sadie doesn't like to be cuddled like he did. Bandit is one of my avatars. I wish more people would consider adopting a senior dog or cat, who just want to be needed, loved and feel safe in their final years.

Clynn, cute Caturday pics, especially the Munchkins, looks like it was a fun day.... Meeting gave me a headache, then dealing with traffic on the way home, and to top off my day I opened my mail and got a Jury Summons for the 13th! UGH  :-\ And the Jayhawks lost their game, that's 2 in a row. We need a Caitlin!!  ;D ... Poor Mike had to deal with traffic and listening to the game at the same time. Not good Caturday.... gorgeous pic of S & S, that's a keeper for a frame! Oh no a new TV, so far we've been lucky with our Samsung {{{Erin and Sydney}}}.... Happy to see Rosie and Richmond are together again. Why can't it be that way for our sweet Iris.  :-\ :-* ... awww prayers for Big Bear nest, thanks for pic. {{{E23}}} warning the owls who is boss!  ;D

Phyl, I enjoyed yesterday's RRP blog "Won't you be my neighbor" ... speaking of neighbors, cute little mouse digging out of its snow bank home after a long winter on the nature video.  :-* ... OMG! The cat and its baby chicks!"  ;D ...how interesting about the mixed gender cardinal. I'm glad that it isn't lonely too. I hope the couple following this rare beauty will continue to update on it's progress through this spring.

Lani   A few things I mention to my clients who go to the islands (maybe bring a surprise home to me?)  I mentioned the first before, 100% KONA coffee.  Only time I drink coffee.  Or bring back a fresh-picked pineapple, or two.  I really enjoy them, especially since with my anosmia it's one of the half dozen tastes I still have.  Lastly, they should enjoy an island mai tai or two in my honor.  Got my recipe from a bartender on Hawaii Island.

Island thoughts back on my mind with all the pineapple talk - I had/have a great remembrances of Oahu.  Our familiarization (fam) trips take us and make us learn all the great things no one ever mentions  - so I'll mention.  Picture this  .... In the middle of a pineapple plantation, after some beautiful and loud chanting, our leader/guide escorted the group into an area called "The Birthing Stones."  The background, religion, and heritage behind it all was fascinating.  The short description:  the men of the island would take charge when a royal princess was going into labor - and help her through it.  :o   I always mention this one when I'm asked for suggestions of unique things to do/see.  But you have to have the additional plus of a native Hawaiian so you get the extra knowledge and traditions!  Do you know the spot Lani?

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D


Way to go, Caitlyn!! I watched the game - they played great!! Sorry Pistol Pete Maravich... It took 54 years for someone to break his NCAA All-time scoring record!!! Caitlyn Clark did it!!! She's an incredible player! So many good players on both women's basketball teams today - both Iowa and Ohio State Women Basketball teams are excellent and have incredible programs.

Yay! Rosie's ba-a-a-ack!!!   :-* :-* :-*  Talons crossed for Rosie and Richmond this nesting season!!  :-* :-*

Yay! E23 branched, and is looking GREAT!!  :-* :-*  Say, "Ahhh!" LOL, I love that pic of E23 on the branch, mouth wiiide open!  :D




Lisa, oh yum on your crawfish bisque! That sounds sooo good! You made me think about Crawfish étouffée now - I haven't had any in sooo long. I don't think I have seen it on any menu where I live now. I miss it!

Lori, oh my! Banana Cream Pie Day! That looks so scrumptious! And those creme filled brioche doughnuts!! O Gawd... I want some!  :D

Clynn, have fun with the family celebrating Sydney's birthday!  :D  Hmmm, I get the "purist" approach for pizza and tacos, but I consider fish tacos one of the "purist" tacos! They are in places like Cabo and other Mexican coastal communities, and southern CA, and about anywhere there's an ocean surfing community, like where I live. Ugh on your TV going out! :o Dang! Your new TV sounds wonderful though! Love the pics of Talon and Bella, and Sam and Sophie!!  :) :-* :-* :-*

TSK, shoot... a rough game for Marquette yesterday... bring on March Madness!  ;D  Ugh on getting a cold... I hope it's nothing worse, but golly gee, they can be sooo miserable. I hope Tim will get you some yummy chicken soup and you rest up and feel better. Hugs.  :-*

Lani, ugh... sorry about the Kansas game - it was so close the whole game. I was nervous! Next time! I don't think they will be on the bubble - they're a Top 10 Team!!  I missed you mentioning Roy Williams in your earlier post the other day - I only remembered the Dean Smith reference... or maybe I don't remember it at all. LOL. Getting older is an adventure.  ::) ;) :D  Yikes on the traffic and white-knuckled drive you had yesterday! I hate that feeling of waiting to see if I'm going to be hit by another car - Sooo glad you stayed safe!! Hugs! Whew! That is no fun! Oh YUM on the sugarcane! What a great treat for y'all, especially as kids! Hope you can lay low and just rest up some today! I had wondered at first if that "Big Ol' Bear" was your Bandit... Love your memories of your Bandit - and in your avatar.  :-*

Karen, nice Chicago memories. Do you have another visit soon with your doc for a vertigo appt? You and Piper have a good weekend!



I only walked 20 minutes today - I waited too long to get out and started on my walk, so I had to cut it short to get back in time to see the women's Iowa v. Ohio State game!

I made the White Chicken Chili for early dinner and the UNC game yesterday. It turned out really good! It was a new recipe I found online, and it's a keeper. It turned out good enough that I sent some to one of my neighbors. So I will definitely make it again.

It was from the Cooking Classy website. The link to the whole thing is:
https://www.cookingclassy.com/white-chicken-chili/

I recommend reading the whole shebang at that link, because it gives good info and tips throughout.

If you want to skip the tips and recommendations, you can cut to the chase, and just link to the recipe at:
https://www.cookingclassy.com/wprm_print/30325/

But if you decide to try it, I recommend first reading the whole story and tips in the 1st link above.  ;)

I mostly followed the recipe, using most of the rotisserie chicken that I pulled the meat from and shredded it (and packed in the measuring cup)  by hand - with only a couple of departures, as I note here. For the green chiles, I bought 2 (4-ounce) cans of Hatch Chopped Green Chiles, (the MILD version) at Walmart, in their Mexican food section. I used the entire contents of both cans, and that worked out well. They come in a HOT version, too, but the MILD ones had a little heat, so I'm glad I went with those. I used a whole 32-ounce box of low-sodium Chicken Broth (instead of 2 14.5-ounce cans), and it wasn't too much liquid.  Also, I used 1 can of Cannelloni (White Kidney) Beans, and 1 can of Great Northern Beans (instead of 2 cans of Cannelloni Beans). I did not drain or rinse them. I used the entire contents of both cans. It didn't water down the chili. Regarding the note on the recipe about using 1 cup of reserved beans with 1/4 cup of the chicken broth in the blender till almost smooth, as a thickener, instead of cream or any type of flour, what I did was pour approximately a cup of the canned Great Northern Beans, and some of the liquid from that can, into a small separate pan and used my immersion blender to blend that till it was almost smooth, and then added it to the big Chili pot, when directed in the recipe. Otherwise, I followed the recipe, as directed. It turned out very good! I topped my hot bowl of chili with some of the recommended additional chopped cilantro and some grated Monterey Jack cheese, with some tortilla chips on the side. The avocado I had wasn't ripe yet, but I will maybe be able to put some avocado slices on a hot bowl of leftover chili tomorrow. That sounded like a good optional topping to me, from one of the suggestions in the recipe.

I re-heated the refrigerated leftovers today, and it was a little thicker after sitting overnight in the fridge, but it didn't need thinning at all after it was heated up. So, it was just as good the next day, as soups and stews usually are.

PSST! I attached a picture of the Hatch Mild Chopped Green Chiles I found at Walmart for a decent price, below. It helps me when I know what something I'm looking for looks like... Just sharing, for anyone who wants to give it a try.

Wow, these winds have caused hundreds of thousands of dry tumbleweeds to pile up in South Jordan Utah neighborhoods. This video is insane.

We too have had strong winds today. Including a brushfire as far south as Waseca,MN visible here in the Twin Cities on radar.

tsk, I had to double check with Becky! They lived on Cornelia Ave. They were both going to school and working at Michael Reese. The Pizza place with the rooftop seating was Giordano's, she remembered that too! I had guessed both of those and she confirmed! We also went to a show at The Baton, I think it's still there! That would have been in the mid-eighties.

baz, I tell Kelsey I am 29 and that's what she tells everyone when it's my birthday! I tell her that now that she is 30 she is older than me...

Lani, those cute clerical puppies, bless them! Holy Rollers, as tsk said! We let the kittens out on the deck today. They were very wary, a loud car went by and they ran into the house. Very interested in the goings on at the bird feeders! It's 77 and windy and sunny! I remember Bandit, and before that Barkley. Sweet souls you will see some day in the distant future...

kb, tumbleweeds video is incredible! I have seen this in the past, they are so light they blow very easily. Can you imaging opening up your door to that!

Clynn, LOL, I remember you saying that about Kelsey being older than you now that she's 30!!  LOLOL!! I love it!  :D :D :-*  Oh, I also thought about your Kelsey while I was watching Caitlyn's game today. They were talking about how Jayce Sheldon is a big star on the Ohio State team, but that her little sister, Emmy, has also become a big star for that team! She's developmentally challenged, but loves to be in the crowd and on the sidelines cheering on her big sister, Jayce, and the rest of the Ohio State team, with a great smile, like she did during today's game.  :) :-* :-*

Clynn, maybe you saw her on TV today, but if not, here's a brief clip of her with her sister from a different game - not today's game... Just click on the "continue as a guest" on the pop-up when it comes up - you don't need to sign in to a tik tok acct to view it: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodnewscorrespondent/video/7327008394378841386

BAZI   I was so impressed watching the women's NCAA game.  The girls just flow together like a dream with no one hogging the shots. Beautiful to watch.  We'll see how MU does in March Madness.    I love how that chili is plated.  Good recipe.

KB   Strong winds here too - Afraid the front window might blow in.  Our garbage bins blew over.  Tim just put bricks on them .  Can't imagine living where tumbleweed is so massive.

Boy that's really a tumbleweed disaster.  I can see why there's a community ordinance about taking care of them.

tsk  I learned early on about sugars.  Mom's family where from Colorado, they did lots of share cropping ofwhite sugar beets.  Cane sugar is what I use an we an get here -  Domino.  Processed by burning.  Weird.

Did you get the summons from DuPage, no wait you're in Cook County?  When is that for, wheredo you have to go if you go?  I mentioned recently I just did my 4th call to duty, fall 2023.  Always interesting, although boring until you get selected.

Sorry to hear about thecold; that can be blamed on the crazy up and down temps recently.  Today/tomorrow 70's, then back down to 40's and 50's.  Lows dropping into 30's ----  Didn't unplug the birdbath.  Whew!  Have a hot toddy and crawl into bed early tonight.

First Look: Aryana Hummingbird on Her 2nd Nest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcT-gkfHAzU

Feb 29, 2024
Aryana is a non-migrating Allen's hummingbird who lives in the coastal area of Southern California.  This is her second nest of the 2024 mating season. Aryana started pulling cotton fluff for a new nest on February 21st, the same day that her first brood (Faith and Eros) fledged.  We discovered this nest on February 24th, 2024. It's tucked into the sheltered branches of a tree-sized Banana Shrub.

Banana Shrubs are members of the Magnolia tree family. They do not yield fruit. The name is inspired by their creamy-white, burgundy-tipped blossoms, which fill the air with a sweet, unmistakable fragrance--like bananas, some say, or maybe Juicy Fruit. 
 
Thanks to our Partnership with Explore.org, we're able to livestream the entire nesting process, from egg to fledge.

Phyl, very interesting to see Aryana working on her new nest!  Interesting morning pic! Wow, you have taken such good care of Maggie for her to be such a beautiful senior lady!  Beautiful water falls in the 365! And a gorgeous pic of the Flyway... and the North Nest!

BL, some good tunes there...

Lani, oh that soulful eye, your good night dog...

E4E, we had an absolutely beautiful day yesterday, it got up to 79! A record high for March 3rd!  49 high today, rain this afternoon...

Phyl, brats sound yummy! Was Maggie hungry too?  ;D Sydney chose Red Robin for her birthday dinner. I had a great salad, but would not have been my choice (of course, it wasn't my choice!). LOLOL!  Wonderful to see Newman and the gals coming around, he must be a hunk in the falcon world!

baz, sweet video of Jayce Sheldon and her little sister Emmy! Kelsey lives for her texts, she has about 15 people (including Dad, Mom, Erin and Sydney) that she texts Good Morning to and then impatiently for replies. Weekdays she can't text them until 7:00, Saturday 8:00, Sunday 9:00. She clock sits every morning, the fingers start as soon as the clock shows the go time! Throughout the day Ed and I get to hear the list of texts she received, sometimes she just reads them to herself. If I don't text her back right away she will tell ed to tell me to text her...  :o  FYI, Sydney is now 30!

tsk, hope you wake up feeling wonderful today!

So amazing to walk the mile under these 400 live oak trees planted in the early 1890’s at Wormsloe State Historic Site in Georgia.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D


I walked 39 minutes today.


(((Clynn))), oh good, I'm glad I got Sydney's birthday number right.  ;)  I've never been to a Red Robin. I've heard they have good burgers. You said your salad wasn't your choice.  ???  Does that mean you wanted to order something else, but got the salad for health reasons? I'm glad it was good, even tho' not your choice. It sounds like it was a fun dinner out with the Birthday Girl and family.  :)  (((Kelsey)))  :-* :-* LOL on her being so taken with texting!!   ;D  And yay! that she can text back and forth with so many people!  :)  My sister was a career Special Needs teacher (you know that title has changed over the years!), and she's retired now (the grandmother to my Littlest Greatniece). She just adored her "kids," and I saw firsthand how they adored her, too, when I got to visit in her classroom from time to time. Over the years, she taught in institutions, public schools, and in private homes, for kids from 2 years old to 9th grade, ranging from "profoundly and severely" to "educably" disabled and everything in-between, and with many different diagnoses and other issues and disabilities, physical, behavioral, mental, emotional... you name it. She's my "go-to" whenever I meet someone with a disability type I'm unfamiliar with. There are so many, and they range from "mild to wild," as I like to say, and as I know you know. I grew up with a number of people who had family members or siblings who had various developmental disabilities, and when they were able, we often included them in our neighborhood play, including a girl who lived a block from me, who had such severe cerebral palsey, she never could walk and had very limited, mostly unintelligible, speech, but who's mental and intellectual ability was of course not affected at all. She was smart! She would sometimes join us (with a family member to look after her) in her wheelchair, outside on the sidewalk, on pretty days when we were kids. Everyone just adored her. Thankfully, her father was a physician, so she got the best quality of care available to her at that time.

(((TSK))), I'm so glad you felt like eating today, and that you don't have fever now. Keep on resting as needed, and I hope you feel better and better!  :) :-*

Lani, fingers crossed for you regarding your Jury Summons. Ugh. I have a Jury Summons, too. I have to call the recorded line this Sunday night to find out if my number is needed to appear for the jury pool on Monday. Fingers crossed! I am a few months younger than my county''s age cut-off. That age cut-off here is not mandatory; it's an optional cut-off age. People older than that may serve if they want to and are selected. I won't be one of those.  ;) :D

Lisa, you and Jeff get your bridge-crossing schedule in mind for later this week. It's already a bit gusty here, but by Wendesday, a Nor'Easter will start building over NC, heading your way, with lots of wind and rain, so "they" say - so heads-up on that developing weather - hope you can get a good forecast on that, and maybe Jeff might plan on an altered at-home work schedule this week, if it looks like he might need to, and your shopping plans on the other side of the bridge could be affected. I'm sure you're already in the loop on all that - it's in the weather forecast news for your area, as I saw on The Weather Channel today.

Phyl, pretty sunrises!

((Karen)), how are you and Piper today? Is your HHA there? I hope your vertigo is better.

Post by: clynndunn on March 04, 2024, 05:37:09 PM

baz, my salad was very good, I just meant that Red Robin wouldn't have been my choice! Their burgers are just too much for me! One of my favorites is Applebees, and we go to the Cracker Barrel occasionally.  If it's just me and Ed we go to Outback, that's Ed's favorite. Kelsey is autistic, was diagnosed as severe autistic spectrum disorder at 1 year old. The doctor advised us to maybe reconsider adopting her... She consistently tested at the 3rd grade level on the yearly Iowa Test of Basic Skills. She was diagnosed with moderate to severe hearing loss, but she hears just fine! She is a schedule person, loves to keep track of everyone's appointments! She talks, but Ed is the only one that can understand everything she says. There are some sounds she can't say, something to do with motor skills in her mouth.  I better stop now, she has a lot of quirks but she is a happy girl with her simple life! I think Special Ed teachers are angels...

Lisa, what did you buy for Sydney this past weekend?  ;D ;D Love the morning view from the window!

Lani, oh no, jury duty! How far is the Apache Reservation from you? Iowa does not have an age disqualification but 'the elderly can ask to be excused for various reasons.'

Lori, I see that it was decided that there was not a pip at Big Bear, but a calcium deposit! It looks sunny but sounds very windy, TWC says it's 44 and the wind is 9mph.

BAZI   Thanks much for the story about your sister being a special needs teacher and your experience with developmentally disabled as a child.  It's a difficult profession and those entering it should be admired.  So much new technology now allows  for those who can't verbalize to be able to "speak" intelligibly and get all of those "head thoughts" out.    Have always enjoyed that Dolly Parton expression.

CLYNN   You and Ed have a beautiful family and give Kelsey a stimulating and loved environment where she thrives.  :-* :-*

Lani - I wish I had memories of my Grandfathers;  My paternal grandfather who was a part of my life, passed when I was 2 years old, and I don't remember him, although there are pictures of him holding me! I have been told that he had a pocket watch that he would let me hold and that I seemed to like listening to the ticking of the watch. :)    Were you chosen to be on the jury?

Phyl - Interesting pic this morning! :)   Wow! Maggie's birthday is around the corner! :-*   Beautiful waterfall in 365.  Pretty Mississippi River Flyway! Love Decorah North E's  :-* :)

Clynn - What a beautiful warm day you had yesterday for celebrating going out to dinner for Sydney's birthday dinner!   I see you had a salad - you should have gotten what you really wanted!  Okay, just read that you meant that Red Robin wasn't your choice of restaurant.  I've never been to Red Robin.  I've been to an Outback and love the restaurant - although a few years ago, that restaurant in our town closed.   Beautiful Oak trees!  Wow, Wyoming highway!

LisaG - Glad you & Jeff had a nice weekend.  Weather was so cold & rainy that we didn't even think of grilling.  We watched some Netflix tho!   Oh, I bet you have something special for your Sydney for Easter! :)

Hi Lori!

Tsk - Hope you are feeling a lil better today. :)

Clynn, Payson is part of the Tonto Apache Reservation. It's been two years since we have a courtroom in Payson. We use to travel to the main courthouse in Globe. ... glad to see nice warm sunny shining down on the Big Bear Eggs... Tsk, our Energizer Bunny needs down time too. LOL!  ;D .... Gorgeous tunnel, another Oregon visit site I'll send to Aly... I wish Outback wasn't so far away for us. Everything is in the valley including Red Robin. 

{{{Karen}}} sorry about your vertigo.  :( .. gentle hugs and prayers

Eagles we posted at the same time... What happened to your grandfather's pocket watch? I'm sorry you didn't have more time with him.... I've been summoned for duty, so it may be a process.

Good night!

Aryana Hummingbird lays the 1st egg in her 2nd nest of 2024   Mar 3, 2024


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd2PuNdehqo

Aryana pulled cotton fluff for a new nest on February 21st, the same day that her first brood (Faith and Eros) fledged. We discovered this nest on February 24th, 2024. It's tucked into the sheltered branches of a tree-sized Banana Shrub. Thanks to our Partnership with Explore.org, we're able to livestream the entire nesting process, from egg to fledge.

NEST DATA: Nest-in-progress first spotted on February 24, 2024.
Egg laying: March 3 at 7:01 a.m. and
Incubation period:
Hatch Watch: 15-18 days after incubation begins.
Fledge watch: 20-28 days is the estimated timeframe from hatch to fledge.

Phyl, good blog from Amy! Love reading a little bit about a lot and the pictures are great! 365, looks like the birds woke up the sleepy owl!  30 right now, high 57 today and yay, calm winds and some sunshine! Great pic of Newman on his dinner table!

Lani, I would love living where you are! Do you have a favorite restaurant in Payson? When will you know if you have to serve on the jury?

E4E, we have warm days coming again, the weather is like a roller coaster! On a Wednesday the high was 35 and on Sunday it was 78! I am wondering what summer will bring! I remember one of my great grandfathers who passed away in 1963, he had a pet raccoon that sat on his shoulder! He and my great grandmother were very poor, their house was never painted, they never had indoor plumbing. We knew them as Gramps and Granny. He had chickens and bees, and sold eggs and honey, and she quilted. She passed in 1975. They were both born in 1884!

Some healthy thunderstorms during the night on and off. 41 and cloudy.

KAREN   I feel terrible you can't get a correction on that vertigo issue this time.  Hope you can hang on til Thurs.

LANI   SIL Margaret has recovered pretty well from the liver biopsy that then had a bleed and she had to be back in the hospital a couple days. The liver biopsy was negative for cancer - YAY    Now the original problem - the tumor on her kidney will be removed on the 23rd.

EAGLES  Agree with LANI  Grandpa's pocket watch could be a wonderful treasure if it still exists.

PHYL   Each time I checked on the Decorah nest yesterday it was empty.  ::) ::)  They look huge in that nest  LOL    Interesting modern table  :o   Sweet   365  :)

CLYNN   Love the memories of your great grandparents.  Tough life back then but they managed.  In Milwaukee GL3 4004  ;D  Saw some of that snow report yesterday on the news.  What a headache for everyone.  Amazing

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY EAGLES AND KRIS

tsk - From the looks on my weather app, it looks like the winds will be here on Thurs, so he will be home working.  Glad to hear that Margaret is recovering. Prayers for her upcoming surgery!

((Karen)) - I hope the vertigo is a lil better today.

Phyl - Thanks for the RRP post, and the pics.  We are having a miserable rainy day, too.

E4E - Nothing wrong with staying home and watching a good show.  I have been hooked on a Hallmark series that comes on Sunday night.  It's so good.

Lani - Thanks  :)

clynn - Jeff was telling me about that massive snow storm this morning.  I think he said, more was to come?

Happy Anniversary, E4E & Kris!!

kb - I am watching The Way Home 
The Way Home tells the story of three generations of women – Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh), her teen Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) and Kat’s mother Del (Andie MacDowell) – who are all strong, willful and independent. More than 20 years prior, life-changing events prompted Kat to move away from her small, Canadian farm town and she remains estranged from Del to this day. At a crossroads in her life, Kat moves back with Alice to her family’s farm though the reunion isn’t what Kat envisioned. When Alice and Kat unwittingly discover the ability to travel between the past and present, mother and daughter are determined to unearth the truth around the earlier tragedies as they try to change the course of events. Kat’s childhood friend Elliot (Evan Williams) is there for them in both eras as they navigate their journeys across time, helping the three women find their way back to each other.


I didn't start watching it till after the first season was over, and Hallmark had a whole first season recap on New Years Day.  I got interested in it then.  I have watched the first season a few times to pick up on different clues.

Royal Albatross :-*

Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)
Top Flat chick is 42 days old and weighs 3.3 kg at 9.59am this morning. This is 500g lighter than today’s heaviest chick of 3.8 kg. Last week Top Flat chick’s weight was 2.2 kg so today has been a sizable increase. LGK and LGL were both in at around 8.20am this morning. One of them had also fed their chick at 4.30am when it was still too dark to see the bands.

Check out Top Flat chick’s weight compared to the averages for males and females of the same age and the past Royalcam chicks.

Gotcha, Lisa - willl do..

Been out gardening.....well, picking up leaves from some areas where I cut my oriental grasses back..already have green new shoots. Found my tulips and phlox breaking ground under where I store my red glider chairs I painted and normally put on my front deck....so,
Of course I had to clean my front deck, put the outdoor rug down, move and clean the chairs to the deck and rake the leaves from tulips and phlox.
Much more, but you get the picture.
I don't believe it will snow much if any more this year. Push come to shove all will be well and my chairs and rug are under a roof....
Getting a head start for sure and sure feels dang good...More spring summer to enjoy this way if all is picked up before it starts to bloom.

I do remember a March in like oh I dunno for sure 2013 or 2014?...where all the garden plants were up and blooming and the grass was green...seems like this might be another year like that one.
Probably another strong El Nino year.

Tsk what a cute turtle this AM.   Tks. for update on Margaret---prayers for her surgery.  That table in my AM post is intriguing w/respect 'how'd they do that?'   A lot of work; hope all works out and Tim's procedure will fix him right up.

Lisa latte looks good this AM

Eagles y/w, sounds like a nice evening for you both.

KB hope you have an easy spring like 2014 ; we'll have some weeding---have plants selected to replace the azalais that perished---in MO
didn't have to baby those like ours here.

BL  a real feline 'face off' over territory for sure---sounds like a siren, ambulance. Get me to set up in bed.  ;D

Happy Day, Beakers!  :D


I walked 37 minutes today.


Clynn, gotcha on your salad and Red Robin info. It sounds like Kelsey is doing really well!!  Y'all have a wonderful family!  :) :-* :-*

Lani, fingers crossed on your jury duty situation. Hope Mike has a good trip to Gila and is back before long. My Heels won tonight - their last home game this season, so it was Seniors Night. Always a special occasion. I see your KU Jayhawks have a big lead right now - also on their home court, so maybe this is their Senior Day also? My team's last regular season game is this Saturday - at DOOK!!! Go Heels!  ;D

Lisa, I never got a chance to listen to the weather today to see if that Nor'easter is still expected to develop tomorrow near me, and then roll up the Atlantic coast in your direction. Sounds like maybe so, since you said Jeff will work from home on Thursday and Friday this week. Hope it won't cause any big issues up your way.


I'm fading fast. Waving to All the Beakers!

Good Night, All.

Phyl, great pics this morning, Newman, duck.... beautiful owl in nature video... interesting RRP blog.... thanks for Aryana update.

Clynn, we have a favorite Mexican Food restaurant called La Sierra, as well as best place to get a good steak, caesar salad (Fargo's), trout (Diamondpoint), burgers (Pinewood Tavern) BBQ (Rim Country).... I'll know about jury duty when I call in Tuesday.... We had our first phone in 1963, and I can't remember any of our numbers.... That snow storm in CA reminds me of last year's storm in Mammoth, CA.

Eagles, I hope you and Kris had a lovely day and dinner.  :)

{{{Tsk}}} Very happy news about Margaret testing negative for cancer. ... prayers for her and upcoming surgery.... {{{Tim}}} I hope his surgery went well...

Lisa, The Way Home sounds very interesting.

Baz, Grateful KU won tonight! Whew! Yes, senior night too.... Glad your Tarheels won too! Now, talons crossed for their last games on Saturday as we head into tournament play.

Good night!

So sorry E4E  :-*  Kris  Didn't get to sit down until about 8 last night - Missed your yearly celebration.  Was last year your 25th, so now 26?

Had lots to keep me crazy busy yesterday.  Worst/best was I had no hot rod and very best was a friend to chauffer me a couple of times.  Glad the rough seasonal stuff seems to be over.  Found out too late that the snow wasn't snow.  Crunch.  Anyway, I wish it were just as easy to repair my own backside bumper.   ::) 

Sorry about overlooking you special day.  Have a sweet evening today - have a sweet evening every day.  Hugs to you both.

Lani, love all the doggie noses! Thanks for the Alby report, always enjoy it so much! Sounds like you have some great places to eat out! I can tell that you are so looking forward to March Madness! That phone number that I remember is from 1958, when we lived at 1112 Utah Ave in Alamogordo NM. I was in 1st grade. The house is still there! I see that they added on, the window on the right was where the carport was, it was a very tiny 2 bedroom, with very little grass still!
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/5b/4c/b7/5b4cb78e3219e050eaaaafda11b17399.jpg)

Phyl, the Wollemi pine is beautiful, I hope they are able to bring it back. Wow, exyinct 2 million years ago! Fancy owls! We are at 30, heading for 59 today!  Sweet and simple 365 today, love the sounds...

BL, try this one out, also scary!  Heard something similar from Harley when a strange cat was looking in the front glass door...  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=cats+fighting+noise+youtube&&mid=C6CC3738C520CC287B96C6CC3738C520CC287B96&&FORM=VRDGAR

tsk, glad to hear Margaret is negative for cancer. How is Tim doing?

baz, sounds like you and Lani both have winning teams!

Lisa, glad Jeff can skip the bridge!

karen, I don't know how you can keep from bending over! Is it possible?

Clynn, cats are getting ready to rumble! You have a good memory for numbers. I'm terrible. It took me 5 years to remember our Payson landland.

karen, tsk's suggestion of a neck brace might be just the thing to get you past that vulnerable time! Glad to hear Puff is just having computer issues!  That had me scared!  Thanks for calling her and reporting to the Beak!

Lani, thanks for the Bear update, even if it was about all the other critters that live at the beautiful Bear Center!

tsk, I was born at Holloman AFB (1952) and according to Mom, we lived in a little house trailer on the base. Cathy was born a year and a half after me (1953), still in the trailer! Then we went to Germany for 2.5 years and lived at 3 different bases there. After that we returned to Holloman and Dad bought that little house on Utah Ave in Alamogordo. In 1959 Becky was born (in the same room and hospital as Cathy and I) and in 1960 we went to England for 2.5 years. Then to Luke AFB near Phoenix for 4 years. In 1966 Dad went to Viet Nam for a year and we lived in Albion. When Dad came home from VN we went to Duluth AFB until he retired in1969. Then we all lived in Albion. The reason we were 2.5 years in Germany and England was because Dad went before us for 6 months to get everything ready both times. Mom had to fly to Germany and England with us little ones by herself. ;D FYI, Mon was 17 when I was born and had never been farther from Albion than the Smokey Mountains and never on a plane. Back then planes had to stop in Iceland or Greenland to refuel when crossing the Atlantic! More info than you asked, but I couldn't stop! This picture is 1955.

I made avocado toast this morning! Mmmm... Soggy day - didn't go for a walk.


Clynn, I love the throwback family portrait you posted today!!  :) :-*  I can't believe you can remember the dates, places, andorder of all those moves!! Your mom became well-traveled very quickly! :D Love your family stories.  :-*

TSK, I forgot to say yesterday, that I was so happy for your news that Margaret's liver biopsy was negative and that she's recovering quickly from that now, and also, that her kidney cancer surgery is now re-scheduled for soon. Thank goodness! Great news that Tim is back on "Go" since his surgery on two fingers... same hand? I hope he gets a good result and will heal quickly. How are you feeling? Some colds' symptoms seem to linger... I hope you're still reserving your extra energy for YOU! and are fully back to your normal soon.  (((Margaret, Tim, TSK)))



Brrr, I feel cold today - but it isn't cold! So I need to get up and get moving!!  ;) :D

Had thought about a neck brace and mentioned that to someone!  Seems reasonable.    I remember old phone numbers but not those in the recent past or my cell phone!
Anxious to see the brackets . Guess it will be the top 16 or do they begin with 32? 
Glad Tims fingers seem better and good news for Margaret!   Have they biopsied the  kidney tumor?    Got to run!

We've had .25" of rain so far today and during the noon hour, we had loud thunder for a while!

I was actually composing a post and was almost done at 10 this morning, but hit a wrong key accidentally and 'poof' went my post, so I got busy in the kitchen and am now getting back to beginning a post again, but of course it is never quite the same! ::)

LisaG - Yes, we had a nice evening out yesterday-thank you!  How is your Mama doing?   Glad that Jeff will work from home due to the weather conditions.

Tsk - How are Tim's fingers doing today?  Hope he isn't in a lot of discomfort.  Okay, just read what you said about Tim's status-thank you!   That is Awesome news that your SIL Margaret is negative for cancer on her Liver.   Wishing her all the best for her procedure that she will have on the 23rd.  Thoughts & prayers for her.

Bl - Wow those Lynx - would not want to hear that anywhere near me!  ;D

Karen- Thank you for your nice anniversary greeting for us - we really appreciate it! ;D

OG- So perfect - the vw Love Bugs-so cute!!  We love it and my hubby thanks you so much too - he really enjoyed all the posts!!

Phyl - Cute night gif last evening! :)

Baz-  Thank you so much for the pretty anniv. post - so nice of you and we very much appreciate it! :)

Lani - Thank you & yes we did!   I have 2 favorite restaurants for authentic Mexican food (Jardine's and Dona Esther-both are in San Juan Bautista, CA) and 2 favorite places that make the best burger (The Sand Bar in Capitola, CA and Nepenthe in Big Sur, CA)  Very yummy!!
Safe travel for Mike to Gila Bend today and hope he doesn't have to be there long!

Puff- Oh no, are you okay?  Sorry to hear about your car  :o      Thank you for the anniversary wishes-so nice of you to post, especially since you didn't have the best day.    Just for sake of mentioning, it is 36 yrs for us.   You have a lot on your plate now and I feel so bad for you. {{{Puff}}}

Lani & Tsk - My Grandfather's pocket watch has been missing for years - sure wish I had it as a special keepsake.

Clynn - Wow-love the story of one of your great grandfather's had a pet racoon that would sit on his shoulder!! ;D ;D  Your great grandmother lived a long life!!  Sounds like they were hard-working folks. :-*    Amazing that you found and posted a pic of the house you lived in when you were so young! ;D    Loved reading your family history and that is a special family picture from 1955! :) :)

Karen - Thank you so much for posting about Puff having computer problems - that was scary to see. :o

Puff - You gave all of us in the Beak a big scare.  That post!! :o :o  Glad you are alright. Hugs.

Tig - Hope Rosie arrives soon - so you can start loving on her!! :-* ;D

Lori - Hugs for you & Destini! :)

Going to say good night early, as I need to take care of some personal stuff on my computer.  Beakers stay warm & safe and have a good evening.  Hugs to All!

LANI     Lynn experiences wonderful "nature TV".   Thanks for his update.  :D

CLYNN   All of your location history is familiar but when you present it like this complete journey it is one amazing whirlwind esp for such a young mom .  Great photo minus Becky  :)    Very interesting piece about Rt 66  Our camping trips out west were on the original Rt 66.

TIG   Hope Rosie got there today.

BAZI   Day 6 of my cold and all day now without a fever and my energy is back!!  Tim is some discomfort ( index and baby finder of left hand) but hasn't stopped him from managing his day.  ;D   

KAREN   I do not think they biopsied the tumor but seem to know by the scan that it is cancerous.  They will take it off and then monitor with scans every few months,  No chemo or radiation.  Probably will know more on the 23rd.

EAGLES  Speaking about computers, I wondered why my inbox of mail was empty today.  Seems all my new mail is going into spam!  Kind of a mess but did what I was told to do to straighten it all out but seems to me the problem is at their end...sigh.

Lani - Thanks for the bear study updates. Love the good night pic. 

clynn - I had wondered if the osprey around here would be back cause of the weird weather, but I have not seen one yet.  They should be coming!  Aww, love the pic of you and your family, so cute!

baz - Waving back at ya!

E4E - Sorry about your post going poof!  Hope you all had a great anniversary dinner.  Mama is doing good. 

tsk - I hope your email problems get sorted out and into the right box. 

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.

BL - Oh no, poor Kopje!

Phyl - It rained all day yesterday, so that makes for traffic on the bridge, but it was not windy.  Jeff teleworks Thurs and Fri every week, so no need to travel across.   :D  Pretty good night pic.  Thanks for 365.

Phyl, Newman is waiting... 39 here, 58 for the high with occasional showers. State of the Union, interesting! And it's tonight! The 365 looks kind of like a moonscape... Love the bee on the daisy! Ed's oldest sister raises bees, and also two of his nieces! We get delicious honey for Christmas! I bet the birds love that old dead tree at the Flyway!

Lani, The bears should be appearing soon at NABC! Spring is almost here! 

BL, oh no, Kopje and the porcupine!  Hopefully lesson learned...  ;D Great Neil Young tune!

oldguy, lots of good stuff! Thanks foir the update on Lahaina, and the Sierra Nevada snow...WOW! Still watching the other videos!

tsk, we could have passed each other on Route 66 many moons ago, that was the main highway to get to Grandma and Grandpa's from the west! There are a few bits of the original road in Springfield. It has always amazed me how narrow the roads were back then and how huge the cars were!

tig, hope you get Rosie today!

SF Bay Ospreys - Both Rosie and Richmond brought sticks and nesting materials to the upper nest today. Rosie also spent a long time with a fish on a light pole, as well as perching on the rail near the lower, original nest site. Watch live at www.sfbayospreys.org.

More interesting local tidbits about Route 66 from Darien Clynn . . .

Same here as you mentioned - as you drive I55 just out of Cook County there are several sections now and then off the side like a frontage road where they have left remnants of 66.  I heard the local land owners were able to say leave it.  Strange.  We moved out from Colorado to Illinois but took quite a few visits back home to visit family before 55 opened.

Another mention is the break in the trees - If you stand on the new/true frontage road now and look to the southwest off in the distance you see where the trees and growth was cleared because of use of the land for 66.  Must take a long time for nature to reclaim her territory.

P

*Temporary puter setup is back working this morning as you can see!  Yeah.  Hope to have the new machine this weekend.

((Karen)), I hope the shake and bake visit comes out just right today!  ;) :)  I had a lot of rain, but not much in the way of storms.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

After I posted yesterday, the rain had stopped and the clouds were breaking up. So I made it a long walk to pick up my mail - about 16 minutes... better than nuttin'.  ;) :D

Have a good day, All!  :)

 ;D


P.S. Regarding cats in trees... When we were kids and would go to Dad begging him to get the cat (any cat - ours, neighbor's, or unknown) out of the tree, after we had spent all our efforts on getting it down failed to get results - climbing, calling, food and treats tempting - our father would always say, "Have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?"   ;D 8)

P.P.S. Not to fear though... My father would help when needed. The "stuck in a tree" cats almost always ended up coming down on their own, if we had not gotten it down ourselves, after probably half-traumatizing them.  ;D  If it started getting toward the dusk of the day, my father would always make sure to get the cat down, all safe and sound.  :) :-*

 NO shake and bake today!   He feels it is not working ,  gave me another set of  exercises to do at home.   BRandt and  Darpff.   Do a set of 5, 3x a day  for 14 days.  He says he has had good luck with this.  I see him near the end of the month.   No meds available  he asked if I was trying any and said no, 
bu they gave some at the home which of course did not work! There is a surgical procedure that can be done.  I would have to go to Shands Hospital  in  Gainesville, I Florida for a series of tests and if   They get the right test results they  operate and put a plug in the ear canal.  Not sure I am a surgical candidate!   

Baz, sounds like the weather is not as bad as predicted and tgat it would be safe for  Lisa to cross her bridge!

We have a new Home Goods here!  Opened in the store formerly occupied  by Bed, Bath and Beyond!   Good deal!

Good for Rosie, Tig and Camper!

This is just such an amazing story out of Maple Plain, MN

Bottom line: Angus the horse cast himself in his stall. After 5 hours plus of trying to get him up with no luck and his heart slowing, the Minneapolis Mounted Police Foundation came and rescued him to the UofM and saved his life.
Brought tears to my eyes:
BEAU'SELLE STABLES (Maple Plain) Feb 22.: "I felt this should be posted. I have to honor an amazing group that serves our community. They often may get overlooked due to so many trials over the last handful of years here.
On Friday our beloved Angus (my son’s horse) cast himself in his stall and we don’t know when it happened in the night, but when my amazing staff found him in his stall that morning they acted quickly to help him. Unfortunately, it was a perfect storm of circumstances and he could not stand. He pushed himself into the aisle when we tried to turn him in the right direction. 5 hours of trying and work went on with our staff and our vets at Anoka equine and everyone gave everything they had to help him. Coming to the realization that he was becoming unresponsive and had so much trauma and shock to his system both the vet and I reached out to the Minneapolis Mounted Police Foundation who headed over with the horse trailer, rescue officers and equipment. In less than 15 minutes they moved him from the aisle to the arena and loaded him into their trailer. Knowing he would probably pass away in the trailer we took the chance to get him to the U of M where they had equipment that could help him if he could make it. He was lifeless and his heart had slowed to a dangerously slow beat. The police in terrible traffic - were able to avoid - with their vehicle made it to the U about 3 minutes behind us. Without them Angus had no chance of survival.
The Minneapolis Mounted Police Foundation are the only group in the state trained in large animal rescue. Their program was originally defunded by the city council in Mpls during the chaos that has taken place in our city and the police department has continued their existence. They are a non profit and without their skill, dedication and commitment Angus would be gone. I can’t thank them enough and we couldn’t be more in need for a group like this to continue to also help break down barriers between the police and welfare of our community. They serve our community in such a positive way and I just wanted to thank them with all my heart and hope to let others know to recognize them and help support their efforts in our community."
*****
March 2, Update on Angus! ❤️
Since our boy’s arrival at the U, almost completely lifeless 2 weeks ago, and from the moment Angus stood he has never looked back! He has two large tears in his hind leg muscles and a hematoma. He has had to work at placing his feet slow and steady and regain his balance walking but he continues to march forward. He’s a fighter and we couldn’t be more proud of him and his recovery. Angus has to remain in the sling until he can lie down and get up on his own as he has not attempted too, but currently he is climbing mountains! ❤️ He’s making huge progress everyday.
*****
What does a "cast" horse mean?
KENTUCKY EQUINE RESEARCH: "A horse that has lain down too close to a fence or wall and gotten into a position from which he can't get up is referred to as a “cast” horse. Cast horses sometimes panic and struggle, while others simply lie in the cast position until help arrives."

KAREN   Of course I had to look this up  LOLOL  Your doc is giving good advice.  You should be able to do these at home.  Maybe first on a day when the HHA is there.

"The main difference between the Brandt-Daroff maneuver and the Epley maneuver is the difficulty. The Epley maneuver is more challenging than the Brandt-Daroff exercise. It is safer to perform the Epley maneuver only in a clinical setting with a doctor or another healthcare provider.Mar 4, 2020"
 
I love Home Goods.  Easy to spend a lot of time there  ::) ::)  Our Bed Bath and Beyond bit the dust too.

KB   I should have read to the end first but looked up " cast itself " in the stall  ::)   Great story.   I know nothing about horses and stalls but should the stall be bigger?  Sounds like Angus will make it.

LISA    So you caught all the rain yesterday.  Can appreciate the "swamp" comment.

OLDGUY    Claire certainly does a lot for her cat health.

tsk - to your question "should the stall be bigger?" I have no idea and wouldn't have thought about it's size. Scott is the horse expert. He lived on a horse farm....sorry.

From what I read it sounds like a horse could get him or herself into this situation against any fence or wall. Furthermore, aren't stalls all sort of the same size?

Phyl, thanks for the articles, on my list to read after I get dressed! 47 and rainy today. 50, 59 and 71 for the next 3 days, all sunny!

E4E, there seems to be a good bit of technical issues going on in this world! Hope you can get it resolved, I always have to consult my password spreadsheet when I have to sign into something that I usually don't have to sign in for.

karen, I hope this new procedure works for your vertigo! And I am sure you appreciate tsk's comments! It's good to have a retired PT professional in our midst!

tsk, we have a Home Goods too and I can easily spend an hour or more browsing! So much cool stuff!  I also like browsing Hobby Lobby, and we have an At Home store nearby which also interesting.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

KAREN    LOLOL    "Call 911 when she gets here"  ::)

EAGLES   Yikes,  hope it was just a glitch and you can get back on..

LANI   I have free AOL so no support really.   I'm resigning up for e-mails I get regularly as it seems that's is what took the hit.  The thought of changing e-mails at this late date is mind boggling to me.  LOL  I do already have a gmail acct which I had to set up because I use Chrome but I do not use it for e-mail.  I think I am getting all regular mail.  One good thing is that I'm not getting all the unwanted mail that I would delete.  ;D

PHYL   I'm liking this "images and sounds" series  365   Interesting about strong women in history.

CLYNN   " us beautiful imperfections"  Love it.  :)  Our Hobby Lobby is across the street from Home Goods and Michaels  LOLOL.  I could be gone all day  ::)    Don't think we have an At Home  :-\

Well an awful thing just happened.  Tim just woke and said did you see the deer that is dying on our fence?  WHATT???    I will not post the picks.  Seems it tried to jump and on its way down jumped through a tomato hoop.  Police are here now and since it is still occasionally breathing may shoot it.  More later.. SOOO sad.

Oh Tsk, poor Bambi!  Just wanted to see your pretty yard and have a bite to earpt! Never thought of tomato cages as a weapon!
Phyll, Doctor has been doing the Eply for a long time!  Works for 24 hours or less!  Will try this new one!
Clynn, love your peanut family!  You are finding a lot of roads through interesting landscapes that appear to lead to  no where!  Your Mother is a strong woman who did what she had to do when a young girl and still seems to do the same!   Good for her!   Well adjusted, I would guess!
Lani, you are having a lot of meetings!  Keeps you on your toes!
Cloudy day, in the 70s.  Keep running 7 degrees above normal.  Will drop to a high in the 60s for a few days and then back up!  I am dreading the summer and hurricane season!  Oh well, almost every place has an issue!   I will celebrate Culvers and Home Goods!

Just click the blue link to watch a local video of a bald eagle on a house roof with squirrel in hand. But, first it stands in the road, then walking that funny walk to pick up the road kill. In the end it drops it.

some bounce

TSK... Oh NO !!! So sorry for you both, and the deer.

I have puppy fog brain. I just realized it is Friday and we forgot to put the recycling out. Smile. No biggie. It will be there next week.

We plan to try a local Am. Legion today... they are supposed to have a fabulous restaurant and a great fish fry.

Rosie and I slept in this a.m. I felt it more important for my health to have puppy hugs rather than a cool pool. Maybe Monday...

BBL and Caitlin is in Mpls. WooHoo!

LISA   Pouring here right now.  I'm so glad for the rain.

LANI   One happy dog buddy  ;D ;D ;D   Have a good meeting. 

KB     Said page wasn't available   :'( :'(     Just saw the video on FB.  If I were that woman instead of continuing to film I would have gone out and scared it off the street!

TIG   When we were kids it was a big deal on occasional Friday nights to meet Grandma and Grandpa - who was the commander of the American Legion post- at the Post  restaurant for the best fish fry ever.  Good memories.  Let me know how you liked it. We particularly liked that they served real butter  LOLOL   You and Rosie both had a good night  ;D

TSK - one of the methods used by email servers to screen out spam is to block any email that has multiple recipients if that sender is not in your address book.  These types of subscription messages fall under this rule and when you sign up for them the instructions will often say to add their email address to your address book.  Email servers are always upgrading their methods to block spam and hackers, so AOL recently made a change that effected you.

Another issue that was recently found, was a hacker email that changes your link to a fake server.

Is AOL closing old email accounts?
The letter is a fake notification claiming that the email service provider is shutting down all outdated versions of email accounts. Recipients are urged to avoid being deactivated by clicking on a link that would redirect them to a "newer and more organized version of the mailbox".Feb 1, 2024

If this happened to you, remove your current bookmark and then go directly to AOL email on your browser -  https://mail.aol.com/  and create a new bookmark

Hope this is helpful

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D


(((TSK))) That's so sad, and just awful, for that deer! And for witnessing its suffering.  :'(  Prayers for the deer not to suffer long.

(((Karen))) I know the Epley Maneuver is done one way if the vertigo is in the right ear, and a different way, if the vertigo is in the left ear. If it is done backwards, or incorrectly, it makes it worse. Your doc would do it on the correct side, but I wonder if when it made it worse when you tried it at home the other day, if it was accidentally done on the wrong side. This link does explain about that, and other things people would want to know when doing the Epley maneuver at home, including some conditions that would preclude using it:
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/home-epley-maneuver
Anyway, I'm sorry it hasn't been giving you better, longer-lasting relief, even when done correctly. I hope the alternate home exercise/maneuvers your doc gave you yesterday will bring you better results. Hugs.  :-*  I'm with you regarding the upcoming summer and hurricane season nervousness!


I'm off to run some errands. It's a gorgeous day, and a bit cooler and breezy. I want to walk after I get back - I never went for my walk yesterday.


Waving to All the Beakers! Have a great day, All!  :)

I've had BPPV since I had a viral infection in my ears in my 30's. Acute back then and intermittently chronic since.
Had multiple Epley maneuvers performed at a local Balance and Dizziness center by special PT therapists over years.
At some point it stopped being helpful so they tried a French manuever I think called Sement.

Also sent home with home exercises.

A few of those professional treatments also made it worse. I now wear a Scopolamine patch behind my ear when I sense it "incoming" which immediately prohibits it from taking a full course.

The best treatment for me was suggested I fly to some other treatment center outside of Minnesota for a special chair? I opted nada. Maybe Cleveland?

Lani - Hope all goes good with your meeting.  Cute morning pic of the happy dogs!

karen - Hope hurricane season is not too bad this year. 

tig - Enjoy your fish fry dinner, and puppy hugs.

baz - Enjoy your walk.

Bl - Poor Kopje - hope all the needles have been removed and that he is doing better.
Baz - Sounds like a nice walk to your mailbox and back  ;D   Cute comic!!
Karen - Hope your drs are able to come with a good plan for your vertigo. {{Karen}}   I love 'Home Goods' store!
Kb - Wow- Angus' story is  heartwarming, and so happy he is on the mend and that the outcome is a happy one!! Blessings to all those who helped Angus.
Tsk - Nice to have a clean fridge - always a good feeling when the chore is complete! ;)
Phyl - I don't think it was a rolling black out, but you never know!  It sure knocked everything out over here.  After trying for a while last night, we waited until this morning and restarted our Internet signal.    Love all the live cam pics!
Lani - Hope Mike got back home and that you had a nice evening!
Clynn - Last night's power outage was so different; as when I was trying to sign onto my computer, it was telling me to put in a password and I couldn't figure out where we would have such a password (it might have been on the Internet Router)?  Anyway, gave up last night, and this morning, I unplugged the Router and plugged back in and booted up my computer with no problem.     Amazing picture of Death Valley Nat'l Park!
Tsk - Oh no - how awful for that poor deer  :'( :'(   I feel so bad for you in seeing the poor deer that way. So sorry.

karen wanted me to let the Beakers know that she is unable to get into the Beak Room or anything for that matter! She is getting a message that the sight 'is not secure'. Not just the Beak Room but everything she tries to open.  Her help didn't come today, her son is sick, so karen is kind of stuck. I asked her if she could reset her router, but it's under her desk and she can't get to it. Hopefully her neighbor across the street will come home from work soon, maybe she can help.

E4E, if you look on the bottom of your router the factory password should be there. Most people don't change it, so you might try that. What is going on with all these technical issues all over the place?  :o

OLDGUY    I never got that notice from Feb 2024.  I am getting the free AOL so am sure no fringes attached.  I have heard about putting those emails in my address book.  I will see about doing that tomorrow.  Thanks for the info.

LISA  The deer must have been in that position for a while as it was all bloody and you could see how it must have struggled

TIG   Yay  a new nest discovered before all the leaves come out.

EAGLES    LOL  You did the thing you always do first when something isn't right - Unplug!!   Glad it worked  :D

CLYNN   Maybe Karen should just unplug the computer for a bit and then plug in again.

Phyl, thanks for Amy's Blog! I wonder if the Trempealeau nest is a new one for RRP, I had to look it up. It's in Wisconsin.  Love the Vogue cat!

BL, thanks for Harvest Moon...  Wonder where you encountered a lion...

E3E, glad you got your computer going! Always good to reboot or unplug and plug back in, it works most of the time.

tsk, there was a smorgasbord Grandpa liked to go to in Carmi, IL called Two Tonys. It was always crowded and they had tables for big groups!  It's long gone, just a memory now.  I don't remember if the food was good but us kids had fun!

HAPPY CATURDAY BEAKERS!  :D


I hope Karen and Piper are safe and dry. Very dicey severe weather thereabouts today!!


Lani and Mike's KU Jayhawks play at 4 pm (Eastern time) today, on ESPN.
TSK's Marquette plays at 5 pm (Eastern time), on the Fox Network.
My UNC Tarheels play at Duke at 6:30 pm (Eastern), on ESPN, after Lani's KU game is over.


Lani, I will be watching your Jayhawks play their last regular season game today, and then my Tarheels will play their last regular season game, after your Jayhawks' game is over. I hope we all still have fingernails when the games are over!!

TSK, I hope you and Tim are feeling good this weekend. That's exciting for your great niece's performance in her school's play - I bet it was fun!

Clynn, I love your morning Caturday-themed pictures!  :D

Phyl, your Caturday Vogue Kitty picture reminds me of this special woman of style, Iris Apfel, whose story I have followed for decades. She died last week (Fri., March 1) at the spry age of 102. She lived quite a life! I would've loved to have seen the special Met Exhibition of her  clothes and accessories in 2005, about which she was quoted as saying, “This is no collection. It’s a raid on my closet. I always thought to show at the Met you had to be dead.”   ;D ;D :-*  Her apartment was just as exciting to see! Many people may not recognize her name, but many of them would surely recognize her in pictures. She made quite a mark!

Both news stories below can be viewed once without a subscription, and by just closing out the pop-ups. You may not be able to return a 2nd time to either story linked below after clicking on the link though, so read them whenever you first click on them.  Both stories linked below are very good. The 1st story has great pictures with captions and tells much of her story, and the 2nd one is especially notable considering this is Women's History Month.  :)

Iris Apfel, dead at 102:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/01/fashion/iris-apfel-dead.html - The lead photo of her at this story, was taken of her for her 100th birthday in 2022! Still rocking it!!

And:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisalindahl/2024/03/06/iris-apfel-icon-of-womens-history/?sh=653fcb586c6e

May she rest in stylish peace.  :-*




Waving to All the Beakers! Have a safe, dry, and great day!  :)

BL, thanks for Harvest Moon...  Wonder where you encountered a lion...

Clynn I was having a flashback to Africa when I saw the pic of the dachshund and bull dog that Lani posted.

They reminded me of a pair of characters a friend and I encountered in Zimbabwe on our way to Victoria Falls.

They escorted us down a dirt track for away on a beautiful sunny day when we saw a lion in the distance in the tall grass noshing on something .. moving on, what a good idea.   ;D   ;)

OLDGUY   Huge cat community.  Sure hope no one left hungry  :o     Cat Cardio  ::) ::) ;D ;D      Those 3 cats in front of the fireplace  ;D

PHYL    Good  cat stuff today.  Mama stroking baby.

EAGLES   Camping kitties  ;D ;D

LISA   Love the kitty on the quilt.  :D   I ddin't know anything about Mean Girls but was easy to follow. 

BAZI   Appreciate the BB schedule.   Just got home from a movie.  Turned on KU   Almost end of first half.  :(   Maybe Iris Apfel would be a good topic for a motion picture.  Reading on I see they made a documentary about her in 2014.  Somehow I think PBS may be doing something on her  - just checked - they did something in 2016.- the documentary.

BL   Thanks for the lion explanation.  WHEW

T40   Enjoyed the piece on the 7 body parts of cats.  Pupils esp.  Cats talking  LOL       Wow  the elk that wanted human help.
Always a good bald eagle release.

Saw the movie Cabrini today  Gave it a 10!  Theater clapped!

Baz - Hope you are staying safe and dry, too. 

Have a good night, everyone!

I went to lunch with friends for a few hours today. Rosie would not leave the door while I was gone, so Camper took her outside... where she kept watch and jumped at every sound and car. She was so exhausted when I got home that after she greeted me she jumped onto the couch and promptly fell asleep! She couldn't even make it over to my lap. Poor baby. Lol.
E4E... we have her at least until Tuesday night.

LANI   KU had a rough day!  :'(    MU  pulled it out!  ;D      Heels leading by 9 at halftime!

TIG   How sweet that Rosie bonds with you and actually misses you  :-* :-*  Nice to get out with friends.

Speaking of friends:  Maureen 70 yrs and the youngest in my girl group of 7, took a 93 yr old cousin to visit his 97 yr old aunt yesterday,  Dropped him back home and promptly turned and missed a small step - fell  and heard a crack!  Bottom line: surgery this Monday for a bone graft to the top of her tibia ( tibial plateau where it forms the joint with her femur - leg bone) She said " Got the 90's all back home safe and I go and plant my face"   She will be no weight-bearing for 4 weeks at least.  She is integral in childcare for her grandchildren as they live a few blocks apart.  Now grandpa will need to help out more  ;) ;)

CLynn  DST--great minds think alike; Peace Kitty  ;)   ; Utah highway-steep  ::)

Tsk  big note---you both won't be late for Mass   ;)   I've seen   'Cabrini '  advertised and know a neighbor who's seen this biographical of  St. Frances Cabrini  'Well worth the time and spiritually altering.' She told me. This one's on my list.

Lori many tks for the Jackie/Shadow BBcam update.  Eagle prayers for these egglets.   You won't be familiar with FNC. But, Bill Hemmer in the 9am hour of AM news often
does an update , after each egg's laid  on this nest.  Hemmer oftrn refers to     " FOBBV aa their source'

Oldguy Simaon's Cat had a good 'cardio workout'.  Q-kids, always


Lani sweet Calico this am; Good wishes for KU today

Eagles glad your PC issues are resolved; cute Caturday

{{{Karen}}} sorry about your PC issues---CLynn has been keeping us up to date---hope you/Piper  are well

Lisa last night we went grocer's and got a few bags of Starbuck's Half-Caf ( as full strength is too much Caff pour moi)  I got up early made a carafe and had
a hot mug with Maggie in my lap purring . Jimmy was still asleep  ;D

Bazi I've heard of fashion influencer Iris Apfel, RIP.  My fave fashion designer is the great Coco Channel . In the '80s ---there's a ( not sure now if it's still such) wealthy neighborhood in Joplin  called 'Snob Hill"went to a garage sale there and bought a Channel suite in size 4 for a song! I wore it for years generally for  Sunday service. I just couldn't' t starve myself any longer and donated the still slightly worn item to a charity sale for disabled children's wing of St Thomas Hospt

T40 kitty body parts explained - in 40yrs I've parented cats, the eyes never cease to amaze me  ; 'Are you filming me"  ;) ---touching elk story/rescue,; wonderful bald eagle rescue and rehab/release story

Tig little Rosie missed you, lots!

Tsk prayers for   Maureen , her hubby  and their family.

Hi Baz!

Tsk - 'Cabrini' sounds awesome!!  It's a good movie when the theater audience claps!!      So sorry to hear of your friend Maureen taking such a terrible fall.  I wish her all the best with her surgery on Monday.  Prayers for her procedure.

Tig - Glad you had a nice lunch time with friends!  Wow, Rosie sure couldn't wait for you to return home!! What a sweetie she is!!

Phyl - How nice to get up early (as you usually do) and have a nice cup of coffee and to have Maggie on your lap.  It almost doesn't get better than that! ;) ;D

Oldguy, Congrats IOWA!

T40, Love RxckStxr voice overs! I've often worried about a cat being tempted to jump on a ceiling fan!  :o...  The rescued eagle story, as well as heartbreaking elk story were amazing rescues....

Tsk, Thanks for review of Cabrini. I've heard good things about it. YAY MU! Poor Mike couldn't watch the end of the game.  :-X ... prayers for Maureen and her upcoming surgery.

Tig, awww sweet {{{Rosie }}} she'll sleep good tonight.

Phyl, lots of news this morning! I never knew there were helium mines or that it was used for anything but balloons! Good news on the flu strain. Not sure how I feel on trying to create a wooly mammoth...will they eventually try to de-extinct a T-Rex or a cro-magnon or a neanderthal?  Love your morning coffee cups, and the peaceful 365! 23 here now, high 59 and sunny today.

Lani, thanks for the Royal Albatross update, the chicks are growing up! Glad they keep each other company!

30 heading to 48.  Back to the 60s on Monday for a couple days

PHYL   Quite a steal on the Channel suit  :o   One less flu to be concerned about  ::)which is good as the strains just keep morphing.  ::)   Why would we want to bring back the woolly mammoth?

LANI   Jayhawks are just saving themselves for Tues  ;) ;) ;)   I'm glad those two chicks are close together for company  :)

CLYNN   Sam and Sophie  LOLOL  so cute.  Utah has some beautiful territory.

Think I will haul out Easter and spring decorations today.  I'm resigning myself now to no winter this year...

clynn - Love the pic of Sam & Sophie, so cute!  The winds are happening today and tomorrow.  The winds are supposed to be 25 to 35 mph with gusts occasionally over 40mph.

Well, I'm back outside today to feed my feathered friends.  But I hope the sun will give me some of its warmth.  Bought seed for them yesterday.  Especially, I have to bribe the male cardinal who has been singing to me each morning when I go out to get the paper.  He sits high up in the locust by the back patio.  Don't want to lose him.  I don't know if he is saying hello or telling me "food - I want food".  I also don't know if he's greeting me or putting out the call for a nearby mate.

BTW - Heads up message!    My tech has ordered a new puter which should deliver Monday.  Then he's going to have my machine to transfer all the "stuff".  I hopefully anticipate 2 days.  So please don't worry if I go silent again.

Hi Lisa  ;D

Tsk, Mike told me the same thing about the Jayhawks this morning. LOL! Keeping hope alive!!!  ;D ... I'm bringing out Easter decor this week too. Yep, looks like winter has come and gone.  :( ... I'm going to turn on the landscaping lines to the trees/bushes today. The potted roses leaves are sprouting, perennials are popping up, and covered strawberries are turning green too. ugh! Too soon to start a watering schedule. There are people in the valley that have already turned on their AC.  :-\ .. closed windows because of allergies. Mike's eyes have started watering again.. way to soon for all of this.  :(

{{{Karen}}} oh no, that's too bad about the internet.

Clynn, great morning pics.... cute S & S.... Utah is a beautiful state.

Phyl, Interesting LiveScience articles this morning...

Royal Albatross ~ TFT is In Post Guard Stage 💕 BOK Leaves Alone Overnight & Returns Next Day! 3.9.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XG0wceQ81A

Mar 9, 2024
It is now time for TFT chick to begin post guard stage - where both parents will be leaving their chick alone for short amounts of time and gradually lengthening the time away as they forage for food at sea. Mom BOK left her chick for a short time on March 8th and returned back. After she left, both chicks were tracking an incoming adult and it turns out to be our dear bereaved Dad LWK. He walks over to TF and says hello and touches his fluff. LWK is always the perfect gentleman albie....♥

BOK fed TFT and then she left again and did not return until the following day (March 9th)  TFT spent its first night alone on the nest at 37 days old ♥ TFT and TF are able to see one another and I am sure that gave them both a little comfort, but especially to TFT who was missing having a parent brooding him. TFT had a peaceful night and did great!

Mom BOK returns & walks over to TF chick first to say hello. It looks like she wanted to preen his fluff ♥ Then she went to her nest and she spend a lot of time preening and giving affection to TFT. No doubt BOK missed her chick and TFT missed Mom too. The wind was blowing BOK's feathers as she was trying to brood TFT. She is such a beauty! She was able to manage getting part of TFT underneath her - his little head is sticking out. BOK spent the night with her chick and she took off the nest day. WYL is currently on the nest coming in (March 10th). Thank you for watching!

Just trying to get a bit of shade in Howick, South Africa...

Morning!...after a morning of 23, now 44 and heading to 51....already took that walk with Ollie man among other things!

Got up at my normal time...although the computer clock said differently. Am guessing around 50/50 of who wants to stay with Standard Time vs. Daylight Savings time.
I'm an early bird so prefer Standard....now I have to wait an hour longer for the sun to rise..at least for a month or so....Knock it off and choose one please!....LOL

Tsk - Enjoy setting out your decorations for Easter!  I have my stuff set out already. :)

Puff- Congrats on getting a new 'puter tomorrow!!  Hope all goes smoothly with the transfer of data.  Glad you gave us all a 'heads up' in case you are not on here for a little while!    I bet the Cardinal is happy when you step out there and maybe he is calling out to his friends 'here comes the feeding lady'! ;D

Kb- Zebras getting shade. :)   I hear ya on the changing of the time!  Wish they would leave it one way or the other! :)

Hi Lisa  latte looks delish

CLynn from what I've read the 'woolys' and early humans coexisted -I'm not too bothered by them. But...full agreement on your  concerns regarding
the other Pre-historic beasts and early humans.  ;)  Like what 'you' did with the lodge pole trunk. Sam and Sophie awwwww. Have they met Harley?
Walter's Wiggles, Hurricane, Utah  is awesome.      The USS Wisconsin museum ship in the eternal parking lot in Norfolk.  :o

Tsk I put out Spring/Easter décor yesterday...finished this AM...change the floral arrangements; furniture placement and accents; set out mini Stations
of the Cross, etc. Easter treats in apothecary jars...set and ready for the Spring Equinox...  Eh?    ;)  Can smell hose CC cookies in The South.

Puff good news on the PC/data transfer. Hope all goes well. You're fortunate to have such tech help

Lani hopefully Jayhawks are just 'saving it all up' for big game; tks for Royal
Albie update---'fellowship' of the Albies  ;)   Nice video by Lady Hawk too

Lani, do you and Mike have all your snacks ready for the games? As always, love the Alby update! Such sweet birds!

Phyl, pretty goodnight pic! I just sometimes wonder about all the money spent on things that just don't make so much sense, especially when there are so many all over the world that need help. The money spent on political campaigns is obscene (both parties), and the money spent on prescription drug commercials that we have to endure over and over. Sorry, I am edging towards my soap box, time to stop! Nice pic of Mom North!  Oh, those felted pooches are so cute! The Dunnock has a beautiful song in the 365, the sun rising looked like a fire at the beginning!

tsk, making cookies to distract yourself from an exciting game, that's a new one! You even had to turn the sound off! I am trying to imagine you actually at the game!

baz, love the frog and the mohawk! You had a good walk!

E4E, I am the same as most of us here, don't care which time they use, I wish they would pick one and be done with it! They could put it on the ballot in November and let everyone vote on it!

Puff, new computer today!  And hopefully karen gets her problem resolved!

tsk, Lisa, good morning!

Erin and family are at my Mom's, they will head home today. Yesterday after a trip to Cave-In-Rock and dinner at LaFuente Mexican restaurant in Fairfield they came home and the tv had sound but no picture. Erin determined that it was the same thing that happened to my tv a couple of weeks ago! We got that tv for Mom about the same time I got mine, Toshiba from Best Buy! Must have been a bad batch! Any way, he went and got her a Samsung and got it all hooked up. Thank goodness it happened when he was there!

Oh, oh! Our tulips are coming up! Time to put my anti-deer/rabbit fence up...

tsk - It is a beautiful day here too, and the wind has finally calmed down a tad. 

tig - Enjoy watching Coco. 

I have been looking everywhere for Irish Soda bread, and you would think this close to St. Paddy's day that some grocery store bakery would have it.  Safeway, Acme, Food Lion, Whole Foods...not one had it!

Lani, cute Saint Patty dog! Popcorn! Well, I am sure Mike won't change his March Madness snack, might jinx the game!

Lisa, this recipe has 5 stars! And your hair looks beautiful!  ;D

Wild Heart Ranch  :'( :'( :'(
I have been dreading this day for years;
We are spending our last day with our precious guy. His kidneys are done, his pain meds are no longer helping him and Dr Lilla told me what I already knew.
Our old man is suffering. It’s time.
I know so many of you love him. I wanted to let you know.
We have invited our crew to visit him today, so long as they hide their pain from him so he doesn’t stress, and he can have his grapes, marshmallows and a sucker. 💚😔

Happy Day, Beakers!  :D



I reported this morning for my jury summons. They were seating a jury of 12 jurors and 1 alternate from my juror pool for a criminal trial. They never called my name! Woot! Sent me, and the others in my same situation, away... and I don't have to return. Done! They don't ask you to serve on a jury if you've served in the last 2 years. They consider my being there today as meeting that 2-year jury duty timeframe, so I am done, and done, because I will age out before 2 years pass. Woot!


Lani, I watch loads of the March Madness basketball games, too... not just my team.  Oh, and in case anyone misinterpreted my "joy" post - I was not joyful that your KU Jayhawks lost their game, I was joyful that my UNC Tarheels won theirs. My team plays again Thursday, noon, Eastern. I'm hoping for more joy then, LOL, but as we know, there are no assurances, no matter who the opponent is. I hope you and Mike get to enjoy KU's next game waaaay more than their last!  :)


I'll catch back up with everyone again later.  I only had coffee and a pack of peanut butter crackers from the vending machine in the courthouse today, so I am hungry!


Waving to All the Beakers! Take care, All.  :)

Clynn, oh no! Is that Keebler? Oh... tears... I'm so sorry for Keebler, and for all who knew and loved him - especially at Wild Heart Ranch, and all their caregivers, and supporters, near and far, and out here in the internet, like our Beakers.  :'(  May he rest in peace.  :-* :-* :-*

Computer and  digital  house phone back up. At about 9:30 am!  As I suspected, one of the lawn crew cut the line with an edger.  Line had been pushed up too high by the root of a pine!  Had a lot to read today, business to do and  since I got upat 5:30 I am tired!    The cell phone  is not working correctly and I cannot see anything on it so will be out looking for another one!
Yesterday was one of 14 days of my new exercise for vertigo!  Oh my!  3 sets of 5 movements!   Laying down on my left side with my head down and positioned like I am looking at someones face is really an intense experience!
A free ride at Disney!   I am hating this but will persevere .   Really has some epley movements to it, which is what the doctor was doing!   Not as serious as Margaret or the lady with the  broken bone and I will be fine unless I take a bad fall.  I am careful!

Good pictures and posts all!   Good basketball!


Tig, you need a dog!  It would cut into your many trips  however.

Tsk, was Cabrini Green in Chicago ever mentioned?  Most of it is gone now.  A great idea, gone bad!  I lived a few blocks from it for a few years, a true bed of crime.   Sr Cabrini was a wonderful person. 
So very sorry about the deer!
Having a few wonderfulish days and then up to the 80s for 4 days!
Off to do a few chores!  Oh and thanks for reporting on my issue, Clynn!  Not only cranky, angry, frustrated at 2 hours plus on the cell with att playing pass the buck. And very crabby!  I will own all of it!
(((Keebler)))
Baz!   Good deal

Right before my  omputer went off, Friday abouy 12:30, I was watching e23 wingersizing on the spike and I was agraid he would be gone when I got back on line!  Today he was doing a great hover above the nest!  soon he will be off exploring!   Most of Ms kiddies stay close to home for awhile after a fledge.  We will see!

LISA    Good point about the soda bread.  I did  get my brisket today but usually as you walk in the grocery there is fresh bakery soda bread and sometimes with samples with butter!  Hmmm  I wonder!  I'll go back tomorrow.  Tim just told me the Irish soda bread was in the bakery.  He saw it there.  Kind of unusual as it is usually advertised in the front of the store.  He'll pick some up for me as I'm heading to Costco tomorrow.  Our whole area where they sell the chickens is being remodeled so no chickens til April  YIKES   Soda bread is easy to make.


CLYNN  We maxed out at 66 today.  Maybe 70 tomorrow.   Awww  I presume a long time resident of Wild Heart Ranch has to be euthanized... :'(  I see it is Keebler.

BAZI   YAY   No more jury duty calls. ;) ;)  So funny, When Tim had his hand surgery last week I also got peanut butter crackers from the vending machine   LOL

KAREN   You are back  ;D   Dang - that lawn crew.  So you had to have that line repaired first??
Cabrini Green housing development in Chicago was not mentioned and it was only named after her many years later.  Yes it turned into a major slum. Do believe they have torn it down.   The movie was about her first efforts in NYC Italian section.

Tig - Your beautful Tulips!! Get that protective fencing up!

Baz - Good for you in being done with jury duty for the next two years!  You fulfilled your summons! ;D

Baz, YAY you're done with jury duty! I received an email letting me know the trial starting this Wednesday has been vacated/canceled and not to check in. I'm waiting to find out if that is it for the next two years.

Karen great to see your post, welcome back!  ;D

Puff, Tsk, two goose eggs in N1! I didn't know it was time. :o

Eagles, Mike will suffer with allergies until June or so. He got a shot late last May and it helped. He'll get one again, but not wait so long... sweet koala bear.

oldguy - I wonder if Lidl's has the Irish soda bread, they are sort of like Aldi's. 

karen - Wish we had a Publix.  I never thought about getting a bread machine.  Does that make the dough for you?

tsk - Acme has re-done where the rotisserie chicken go too.  At the moment they are behind the deli counter with the fried chicken, but they are getting a new heated area out in the open.

E4E - My appointment is always at 10am.  My girl does not come in any earlier than that.  I would love an 8am appt!

Lani - What an adorable good night pic. 

Phyl - I am, too!  Thanks for the RRP blog post and all the cam pics.

clynn - I am saving all the pics you post of different places.  Maybe one day, I will get to see all of these beautiful places you post!

kb - Great morning pics.

I know many don't love the geese in the eagle nests in Decorah, but something is running the eagles away from the hatchery to make them not want to nest in the two eagle nests there.  Is it too many people walking around - getting too close, noise around the hatchery?  It sure is something, just from my observation. I think I would rather see something in the nest, then sit here all day and look at an empty nest.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: karengramke on March 12, 2024, 11:10:23 AM

Lisa, you put the ingredients in the top of the machine and close the top, push the buttons and some time later you take out a loaf of bread.  I found that it did every thing well except for French bread.  Sold mine at a charity garage sale and wish I still had it.   Publix does have a great bakery however, for all but King Cakes.  I do not think they compare to Nola.   Bread machine is faster than a crock pot!  Lol

Eagles, sorry you are not into March Madness!  I love it and enjoy watching the kids more than the high paid pros!  Lots of fun!

Clynn, nice warm send off for poor Keebler,    Thanks for sharing this sad news.

E23 flapping like crazy this morning!   Looking all over and waiting for breakfast!   Really expected him to take off!   As I was looking atthis nest this am, I observed a lot of traffic on the divided four lane high way and foot traffic on the side walk.   The nest tree is open to the road and the side walk.   There are folks busy in this area.  There is a church adjacent to the property as well.   I say this in comparison to Decorah and it does not seem that  Decorah is busy enough to scare eagles.   While the bluff is remote, the area around WalMart  has to be pretty active.   Ido agree Lisa, something has scared them off and who knows what!  Could it be the activity of atf?    Seems strange to leave a well stocked buffet!
Off to do session one of three sets of my exercises.

CLYNN   Oh how sweet is Keebler's burial site.  :'(    I'd like to hike in Rattlesnack Canyon  :o

KB   Like the bath lesson to the Caracara kids  ;D     Thanks for posting that link.  Great info below - potoo esp

LISA   Like your AM pic.  :)   Costco had Irish soda bread as you came in the store this AM.  Loaves were pretty big but did not have the crystalized sugar I like on the top  ;) ;)   Good point about the hatchery no longer appealing to the eagles - I do think the increased traffic of people and noise is a big contributing factor.

KAREN   I always enjoy the kids vs pros as well.  I won't see all the games but will catch as many as I can.  The Decorah nests are much closer to the streets than in Ft Myers ( I've been there).  People are also closer to the nests in Decorah.  At "Walmart" the nest is no where near the parking lot - but off in the distance. RIGHT LISA?    Good going with trying to continue the best you can with these exercises. A+ for effort.  They are not easy or comfortable.

Royal Albatross ~ TF & TFT Chicks Graduate To Larger Green Baskets! 💪 Two Armfuls Of Fluff 😂 3.12.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz-ockxDNTQ&t=6s

Mar 11, 2024
Early in the morning both TFT and TF will do yawns within minutes of one another! They are getting ready for the day and it is Tuesday so that means it is weight day for the chicks at the colony.Today both chicks graduated to a larger green basket!  It now will take two rangers to successfully take their weights! YAY!! 💚🎉 

They weighed TFT first - and this is no little chick anymore! Definitely will need to arms for both TF and TFT. 😣💚🎉  TFT did great and was returned to its nest. Ranger Colin approached TF very carefully. The whistling is to calm and distract the chick while the ranger are working to take their weight. TF tries to bite ranger Colin;s sleeve lol 🥰 So it begins! It is beneficial for the rangers to have long sleeve jackets while working with the chicks.

Boy oh boy did TF looks big this week when Colin but him in the basket! They cover the chicks eyes to keep them calm. The motion of going up in the air coupled with being in a basket could cause a chick to spill its stomach oil if unduly stressed so they go very slowly. 😣💚🎉
TF is then returned to his nest! Colin watches him to make sure he is okay and then they leave. TF then does a wing and body shake!! I can't wait to see how much these chicks weigh this week and will pin the totals to the top of the video! Thank you for watching! Lady Hawk


TF is 5.kg and TFT is 3.2kg! . TF is a big boy!!!! ♥♥ Heaviest chick in the colony this week!! Great job LGL and LGK!! And TFT is almost the same weight that TF was last week and doing well too!

Good morning Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

{{{Karen}}} Thanks for E23 update.... good luck with your exercise sessions.  :)

Lisa, it is much more useful and interesting for Decorah cam watchers to be able to see an occupied nest. I just wish we could watch the little green capped headed goslings a little longer in the nests. LOL! And yet, it is sad to know that maybe the hatchery area has become too busy with human activity or something else of concern for the eagles.

Kb, beautiful and fascinating photos.

Clynn, awww RIP Keebler  :'( .... Rattlesnake Canyon one of the prettiest place to hike.

Phyl, thanks for RRP blog.... pretty sunrise.... early spring season for the swans.

The problem with plastics is huge and individual contributions may seem small, but they are meaningful. Also meaningful is when groups, such as families, schools, community groups, businesses etc work on plastic reduction.

If you want to take your plastic free action further, I recommend the Cornell University Civic Ecology Lab Plastics Impact and Action global online course.

I found the Irish soda bread, woot woot!!!!  Safeway had just put it out, and it was 2 for $5.  I got me two!

Lani - So sad about the Toroa chick  :'(  Thanks for the info on TF & TFT.  I agree with you, I wish we could watch the goslings for a bit longer after they jump, but I remember last season there was some with the parents around the pond. 

tsk - You are correct on the Walmart nest.  You have to stand on the walking trail, and use your binoculars to see it, or a really good camera lens.

karen - Bread machine faster than a crockpot.  Jeff would kill me If I bought a bread machine.  Bread is his weakness, and it is especially not good for our blood sugar.  We will have to eat this soda bread in moderation.   :D

Lani, wonderful update on the Royal chicks! So sad to hear about yet another of God's creatures killed by human laziness. Such a cute little guy...  I love how the Mom's watch over other chicks when they are alone. That's 11 lbs for TF! Wow!

Lisa, glad to hear you found the bread!  I am like Jeff, love my carbs! When I go to Mom's I always get fresh baked sourdough bread from our grocery store bakery for her and my Aunts. It is freshly baked in a brick oven every day, we love to toast it and spread a little homemade strawberry jam on it, along with a cup of tea!

karen, I have wondered too why N1 is not a nest of choice anymore, or N2B for that matter. It must be the increase in traffic in the area, what else could it be?  They are both closer to the fish than any other nest!

Janet from England sent me pictures of something they got in the mail yesterday, the wedding pics are 'pics of pictures' Mom had of Janet and George, our friends in England on their wedding day 3/14/64:

Well, a lovely walk with Ollie man!...esp cause it's now 60 degrees and I saw Mr. Tower on the water tower. I don't see him/her anymore as I moved the couch away from the bay window.

Makes me sad about the Decorah situation, esp. if it's determined to be because of people. A good thing gone wrong?

Eagles4 - you are not alone here. I'm not a Basketball March Madness, or anytime gal either....even though I cheerleaded our basketball team in highschool for 3 years I just never followed the sport. Although I approve of Mike's choice of popcorn at half time, esp. if liberally buttered!

Heading out back now with shorts on to sit in the sun after following up with Dennis and Vi. Both 87. Dennis was in the hospital over the weekend with a UTI...now home but cathed. ..I sure do hope I can maintain their attitudes in later life!..

Lawn mower repair man is also supposedly heading over some time today to pick up my broken lawn mower down the hill. And repair!....People are raking and with the dry grass it seems to me a perfect time to do it. Dennis is mad as heck he can't. I don't rake anymore much, but do bag and air out the dry grass with the mower to help the new grass growth.
Course the over eager environmental city folks would wag their finger if they saw anyone raking yet....they have already let it be known!...bugs ya know, LOL.....I have plenty of bugs in my mostly perennial gardened yard but like to have a nice grassy part.
So, when my lawn mower is returned you can guarantee I'll be out there mowing!

Later.

Tsk, I know there is a road next to the nest in Decorah , have seen it on the cam but it is not any where toe size of the 4 lane in Ft. Myers. There has to be another  issue.  The Are the black flies still there?

Interesting report on the sweet albies!   Sorry   About  the plastics.   Have stopped buying plastic drinking water and now filter mine in a pitcher.  Dont know what. To do about the  frozen dinner containers.   Some companies are now using a paper kind of dish!

I am also a carb lover!  Bread and Butter is Great!   Lol.

LISA   I'm grateful that we got to see them for as long as we did.  You never know about the future.  Tim got me soda bread today as well and I immediately toasted a piece for lunch  LOL

CLYNN   Very cool for Janet and George to get congrats from the King himself  ;D

KB   Glad to that little update on Dennis and Vi.  You hadn't mentioned them in a while.   71 here and Tim fertilized and Grub-exd this AM  We are supposed to get rain Thurs.  Think tomorrow I will have time in the afternoon to cut down the roses.

Amy's blog says HM is likely incubating her own egg(s) - does that mean RRP, or someone, knows where that is? But just can't see into that nest? Or is HM's possible current nest location an unknown, and just assumed?

Baz, you did not ask me, but…the goose at the hatchery has claimed N1 and has at least 2 eggs covered up there!   At least we have something to watch!  Hm and hd have a nest in a tree on the bluff where there is no camera.  People who have been on the ground there think they have eggs!   MomD and dM 2, in n4 behind Walmart have , according to robin, at least one egg that is not visible. Nest rails are so high she could not see the parent who was in ubating until it stood to roll eggs!   Big question remains, why did they abandon the nests with cameras?   Seems they also monitor the area to keep other potential eagle house hunters away!   Want all the hatchery goodies for themselves!   Sent Robins post to Clynn so oerhaps she will post it later.
Lovely dinner of salmon and fresh green beans .  Cutie. For desert!
Last time I looked, e 23 was still at home.    Had 2 ufo road kill today and one whole fish.  He had trouble unzipping the fish so he better stay home or close to it for a few more days!

Post by: baziunc on March 12, 2024, 05:30:46 PM

I don't think we will ever know why any of the eagles are not nesting now in N1 or N2B, ar any other previous nesting sites. I remember Bob Anderson saying Bald Eagles love to build nests, and that they are known to build new nests regularly, for no specifically known reason, and even when their previous nests seem to be just fine. He wrote about it in a blog, way back. I think Amy's blog has mentioned it again since Bob A. talked about it. Remember Dad's first known nest was at the cliffs, I believe, before he built N1 across from the Hatchery? Maybe it's the black flies, maybe it's the owls or geese, maybe it's all the other Eagles in that area, maybe it's the people and their activities, or maybe it's just the Eagles exercising their love of building a new nest! Maybe they just feel like it. Just because they like building new nests so much!  :) I just hope they stay healthy, and I wish them all the best this nesting season!  :-* :-* :-*

So today I took myself out for a yummy burger - Carolina style - with cheese, chili, and slaw... and I had fries with it and a very good cold hoppy beer. It was so yummy! So!!! It was everything I dreamed of.  ;D ;D   I am so full!! LOL. I loved it! Finally got that burger, fries, and beer itch scratched - been jonesing for it for weeks upon weeks!   ;) ;D

Dear Beakers, thank you so much for all the Birthday Wishes at the end of February!  They meant so much but i just looked today.

It's been a rough time for me - my partner of 24 years passed away in Jan 2023 after a short illness.  I knew Tommy for 46 years though.  I had to put my mom in a nursing home at the same time and had to clean out her apartment.  My only brother Danny then suddenly died in early August and both my cats went to the Rainbow Bridge before Tommy passed.  Needless to say, it's been a very sad, scary and lonely time.  Thank you for listening to my tales of woe.  I'm not doing well with the grieving thing. Hopefully I can deal better with it after a time.  The grandkids sustain me (Granddaughter is almost 8 and the little guy turned 5 in December).

Please pray for me if that's your thing.  Thank you!  <3

Lisa, YAY, you found Irish Soda bread.... maybe the cams will spend time on them this year. Hopefully, we will have two families to watch.

Clynn, Congratulations to Janet and hubby on their 60th anniversary. That must be their wedding pics on the bottom. And how cool to receive an anniversary card from the King and Queen.... bread is my weakness too.

Kb, yes, popcorn is liberally buttered!  ;D ... glad you were able to visit with Dennis and Vi and get some sun today!  ;D

Tsk, I think Ranger Colin was doing the whistling to keep the chicks calm... a good week to pot roses for sale at Home Depot....

Baz, I see Karen answered your question about Decorah HM. I think there may be photos of HM/HD on their new nest posted in the Decorah 2024 thread... I had to look up a Carolina burger, and oh my, it looks delicious!!! Glad you finally got your birthday burger and tummy's desire!  ;D .. I just read Lisa's post to you. I know it was

Karen, thanks for the E23 update... yummy dinner, I love salmon.

Phyl, Regarding Albatross "The whistling is to calm and distract the chick while the ranger are working to take their weight."

SED Eagles  :)

{{{Eaglesrock}}} I'm so sorry for your loss of loved ones and concern for your mother... so much sadness during one year, I'm so sorry....  Your sweet grandchildren must be such a comfort.

I will be picking up the Munchkins this morning and Erin will pick them up around 2:00 or so. It will be nice again today so a trip to the park will be in order, and of course, the kittens! They will be worn out when the kids leave!

Lani, love that the rangers whistle to keep the Alby chicks calm. I also looked up Carolina Burger! Hamburger patty, chili, cheese and slaw!  Oh my!

Eaglesrock, so sorry that you had so much sorrow in such a short time... You are a strong person, because you are finally sharing with people that can be there for you. The Beak Room has a heart of gold so please visit often! The little ones will help you heal, that is a good thing.  I am sure we will all be praying for you for as long as you need. Take care!

Phyl, cute kitten in the shamrock container! Prayers for the eggs at Sauces! Majestic Whooper Swans in the 365! Mr. North on guard duty... Now I see the penguins!

baz, I like your thoughts on why the eagles keep building new nests! I also think that they enjoy it, and it is true bonding for them... Like Lani, I looked up your Carolina Burger. Glad you enjoyed it! I am sure it was well worth the wait for you! You got that itch scratched!

Lisa, I agree, fresh, warm French Bread with butter is the best! I could sit down with Jeff and we could demolish the whole loaf!

tsk, glad you found your soda bread, I don't think I have ever had it. I have to go to the store this afternoon, maybe they will have it!

Happy Wednesday!

eaglesrock - nice to see you here in the Beak, even under such terrible circumstances. One foot in front of the other is all one can expect of oneself.

Lisa - I found some spring Gouda at Whole Foods a few days ago..finally. I think you said Jeff likes it?

Oof, a very large German Shepherd, You all know my favorite breed, was loose in front of my house, then backtracked to poop by my front door....poor thing is probably very stressed and an escapee as she had a metal collar on her. I posted about her in my local fb page but saw no one driving around looking for her. She left rapidly towards busy streets. Makes me nervous but I'll pray she finds herself home soon.
I picked it up and watered it in as otherwise Ollie might wonder....it was very loose and yellow. Safety.

Wow, my forsythia is opening it's yellow flowers!

She is now a Mass Communication Specialist Seaman. Rosie was very happy to see them all and didn't look back.

Temple City, California, is an unassuming city east of Pasadena that’s home to the usual busy thoroughfares, shopping malls, and residential neighborhoods that one expects in densely developed Los Angeles County. And in addition to people and their pets, Temple City hosts a surprising avian population.

At dusk, hundreds of wild parrots, some in large flocks, some singly or in pairs, approach from all directions, squawking loudly and circling overhead before settling on a variety of roosts. The brightly colored birds create a spectacle as they land in trees, on power lines, and on cell towers, but what makes them so distinctive is the racket they make.

In the dying light of a recent November evening, I watched as a particularly large flock of green parrots settled into a nearby tree, and thus camouflaged disappeared among the branches. Out of sight, the overwhelming cacophony of the birds seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. The commotion made it easy to understand why a gathering of parrots is called a pandemonium. The squawking sounded chaotic and random, then suddenly the birds went silent, as if a switch had been flipped.

“Look,” said Luke Tiller, my parrot guide and the chapter president of the Pasadena Audubon Association as he pointed at a distinct speck in the sky. “A falcon.”

Tiller explained that flock behavior offers protection to the parrots. Individual parrots alert the flock to danger through vocalizations, and many birds means many watchful eyes. Additionally, the sheer size of the flock deters predators like falcons and hawks from targeting the parrots. As soon as the falcon flew off, the parrots resumed their raucous cries.

Witnessing the parrots returning to their evening roost was a startling and capitivating experience, seemingly at odds with the dense urban environment. It also begged the question: How did these parrots, and others like them across Los Angeles, come to live so far from their native habitats in an environment that is completely different?

Like most good Hollywood stories, the origin of Los Angeles’s thriving wild parrot population is debated and shrouded in myth. Some trace it back to the closure of Busch Gardens Van Nuys in the 1970s, which could have resulted in the release of captive birds into the city environment. There are also unconfirmed stories of mass parrot releases during the 1992 riots, as well as tales of parrots being freed during a fire at a pet store in Pasadena in the 1990s.

“My guess is there’s probably a kernel of truth in most of those stories,” says Jamie Gilardi, the executive director of World Parrot Trust. “I don’t think anyone ever did it intentionally. Parrots are valuable, so they’re probably accidental releases.”

The parrots certainly didn’t make it to Los Angeles on their own. No extant species of parrot has lived in the continental United States since the native Carolina Parakeet went extinct over 100 years ago. The pet trade in one form or another brought these birds to Los Angeles.

Parrots are popular household pets, and some can live to be 80 years old. With over 30 species of parrots currently living in the Los Angeles area, it’s likely that pet birds have escaped over the years and made their way to flocks where they found mates and reproduced.

Unlike many non-native species, L.A.’s parrots are relatively benign and haven’t displaced native birds, and therefore aren’t considered invasive by the state of California. The parrots’ main impact has been to amuse or annoy people during the raucous overflights of large flocks. However, due to the severe decline of one species in its native landscape, there may be an important second act for L.A.’s parrots.

The most commonly seen parrot in Los Angeles is the red-crowned parrot, which is native to a small region of northeastern Mexico. Native populations of these birds have been decimated by the illegal pet trade and habitat loss, declining by 95 percent. The birds have been red-listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as an endangered species.

Experts believe the Los Angeles red-crowned parrot population, estimated at over 3,000 birds, is now larger than the remnant population in Mexico. There also might be considerable genetic diversity in L.A.’s parrots, a feature that could prove to be a lifeline for Mexico’s endangered population.

Researchers at the Moore Laboratory of Zoology at Occidental College in L.A. are currently studying the DNA of Los Angeles’ red-crown parrot population and comparing it with DNA from preserved Mexican parrots collected from the 1930s to the 1950s to determine if the L.A. parrots really are direct descendants. If so, then the avian Angelenos could indeed be a valuable “rescue population” for their endangered relatives, says John McCormack, the director of the Moore Laboratory.

“We had these samples that were collected before the pet trade even existed,” says McCormack. “We have the original record of the DNA and genomes of the species, so now we can do a historical DNA comparison to the birds that are in L.A. today.” Some parrot species will interbreed, and McCormack says the DNA analysis will reveal whether the Los Angeles birds are pure genetic descendants of the Mexican parrots or whether they are hybrids.

“From a conservation perspective, and thinking about this as a rescue population for declines in the wild, you are more interested in the pure parrots and establishing that there are reservoirs of the pure native genomes here in Los Angeles,” says McCormack.

Concurrently through iNaturalist, and under the auspices of the Moore Laboratory, there is a citizen science project called the Free-Flying Los Angeles Parrot Project that documents sightings. The project has recorded over 7,000 parrot sightings made by nearly 2,000 members across Southern California.

Although the Los Angeles parrot population seems to be growing and thriving, it does face threats from humans. A recent video on TikTok shows a man in in Temple City taking parrots that had been captured in nets and putting them in his car. Red-crowned parrots are desirable pets and can sell for up to $2,200 each, which is presumably the motive for poaching them. Residents were outraged by the video, and animal control took down the nets that had been placed in the trees.

Since parrots are a non-native species, they don’t have the same legal protections that native birds do. A state law prohibits the capture of wild animals, which makes it illegal to harm or capture Los Angeles’s wild parrots. However, when L.A. County sheriff’s deputies went to the man in the video’s house, they didn’t find the parrots and determined that the man had not set the nets up. No charges were filed.

The illegal pet trade still poses a threat to the red-crowned parrots, perhaps even those in Los Angeles. However, the current threat seems minimal, and conservationists hope that Los Angeles parrots might someday return to their native habitat to help restore a species on the brink.

“There's an irony there that the pet trade which is endangering them in their native range has basically seeded this potential rescue population that appears to be thriving in Los Angeles,” says McCormack.

Clynn, all 3 of the pics you posted are just incredible wonders in this world!  :)  Yes, my Carolina burger was as you described, with onions, too. It looked exactly like the picture you posted!  :D It was to die for, and I ate the whole thing!!   ;D  You have a blast with the little ones today!  :-*

Hi Lani - Just want to say a big 'Thank you' as always for your Night post.  It means a lot to me. :-*

Phyl - Nice temp today for you.  We had sun with a high of about 64 - very nice!   Like Stony Point Penguin Colony! ;D

Tsk - Sweet message for Eaglesrock.

Clynn - I bet you had a fun-filled day with your Munchkins!!  I bet by now, Sophie & Sam are sound asleep! ;D   You post such great pictures - thank you!

LisaG - Don't know what ENT is, but hope all went well! :)

Kb - Good for you in picking up after someone's pet, I do the same, but it's usually ferral cats that live next door.    She leaves cat food & water on her front porch 24/7, so that attracts 0possums, skunks, raccoons and other animals.   She doesn't spay or neuter her ferral cats. ::)   You may laugh, but I sometimes will pour some 'Dawn' on the spot and then water the area down! ::)

Tig - Awe, Camper is so thoughtful!!  So happy you had a beautiful few days with Rosie!! :-*

Karen - Sounds like you & Piper are having a nice 'alone' day! ;D

Baz - Love what you posted about the BE!

Tsk - Good busy day out in the yard!!  Hope you are relaxing now!

Beakers have a good night.

Lisa, Jalapeno Cheese Bread is delicious! I usually buy one at the Farmer's Market.

Kb, beautiful snowy! poor shepherd.

Tsk, glad you're having a good day.

Tig, awww Rosie and Nosie. What a wonderful surprise for Rosie's Mom to be able to spend TLC time with her daughter before she leaves. Awesome ship name.

Karen, I hope your exercise sessions are going well. Take care.

Baz, beautiful post for Eaglesrock. KU lost  :'(. ... so sad, trying to be a big girl about it.  :-X

BL, What a trip that must have been for you... roped of course.

Good day with the Munchkins yesterday! Bella wanted to paint her nails by herself! She did a very good job and was very proud of her work! We went to the park, I didn't get any pictures there, they both took off to play with the kids there. They played with Pokemon cards and Bella had some art work to do!  And, of course, playing with the kittens!

Lani, yes, a fun day with the Munchkins! I will have them on Wednesdays this summer! They are growing up so fast... Sorry KU lost... but they will win again!

E4E, yes, Sam and Sophie took a good nap after the kids were gone! (ENT = Ears, Nose,Throat Specialist)

BL, I love that you are letting us know if you have been to any of the places I am posting! I know you know that this country is filled with beauty everywhere, most of us see very little of it!

Phyl, yes, I got my nap yesterday! Recharged me for sure! Oh, it's those Wild and Crazy Guys! I love the old SNL shows! Good 365! Beautiful scenery! Cute little Irish girls! Thanks for Amy's Blog, will read it as soon as I finish this post.

tsk, Harley's appointment at the new vet is tomorrow. I will crush a gabapentin pill in some kitten food for him tonight, and then 2 hours before his 3:30 appointment. Ed is in charge of taking him, he is too heavy for me to carry in the carrier. He has to get his rabies shot, a general checkup and his claws trimmed! We will work on getting him together with the kittens this weekend! They are used to each other's scent now so that helps.  Harley just now:

Phyl, google Brandt and Daroff exercises.   Just finished set one of three.
Clynn, the geese do look like clumps of snow or the remains of cotton after a harvest!   Bella is looking grown up and has Talon lost a tooth?   If not he will be making friends with the orthodontist!
Ooh, the sun has popped out for a while!  So cheerful!
Interesting little dolls on the round wooded bases.  Are these tge kind that collapse if you push the bottom?  Had one as a child and have no idea where it is now!  Only remember having it.
Loved yesterday’s st. patty’s door decoration!   Very festive,  Tsk and Puff, are they dying the Chicago River?

Minnesota loon.

Good Morning.

BL - nothing but admiration for all the skills you've developed over your lifetime!

eagles4 - Yup I watered the area in deeply, thankfully the frost is out. It was yellow and loose so didn't know what if anything could be lingering in the soil.

Ollie man still sure did sniff out the areas all day yesterday. He knew an intruder had penetrated his territory.

Unfortunately, I never heard who the GSD belonged to. In fact another close by neighbor posted a pic of 2 of them, 2 GSD's running together chasing a cat during the same time frame. Her words: They were not nice in doing so.

Am just happy that yesterday morning was not a morning I was walking with Ollie on those exact streets.
Today is however and I will be on guard with my pepper spray.

I do think "spring fever" has hit all our creatures...many loose dogs and cats in my city currently.

Animal Control is called all the time in my city....I have myself 3-4 times just since I got Ollie.

This time I didn't, but anyone else in my town could have..

Too many loose dogs as I've stated many times. in my opinion, too many dog rescues in Minnesota as well per my vet. It's actually become a big business, unfortunately. I know which ones now are reliable and have compassion, but not all. My sis used to foster.

Share the load people..too many people here adopt dogs don't know or care what to do to be responsible.
Ollie has been bit and shook, I have fallen, and my Walter thrown around by two labs on his neck. Not to mention close calls. And this in only a 3/4 mile walk in a 11 sq. mile city.

Royal Albatross ~ Dad LGK Comes Back Twice! Feeds His Chick & Visits With TFT Chick! 💗 3.13.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbWWGdDBX2Y&t=1056s

Mar 13, 2024
Dad LGK has been coming in every other day to feed TF along with LGL! He arrives back to the nest and sits down and makes TF come towards him for the feeding! LGK feeds TF and when he is finished he sits down and gives a little preen to the top of TF's head ♥ LGK then departs but he comes back a few minutes later with a beautiful landing! But instead of heading back to his nest, he goes over to TFT's nest for a short & very polite little visit ♥ LGK is a gentleman albie Dad and TFT has nothing to be afraid of with him coming to visit (just like WYL does with TF).

LGK then makes his way back to TF and sits down to rest. He does not feed TF again, just stays for a few minutes and then he takes off as well.  LGK is a wonderful albie Dad and is making sure that TF keeps growing and hitting all those weight markers! Thank you for watching!

Good morning Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Phyl, thanks for nature video and RRP update... #3 goose egg  ;D.. sweet mini Moo and Mom.  ;D ... good Luck on GSB.... Those were the best years of SNL!

Clynn, cute morning pics! Hopefully all your peace pics will work for Harley and kittens. I'm sure they will, since Harley and kittens have become use to each other's scents. Harley looks like he's in the mole hole. LOL!   :-*  Good luck on his vet appts... the munchkins look great and growing like weeds. They love staying with their grandma.... God bless them.  :-* ... goodness, that's a lot of snow geese!  :o

{{{Hi Karen}}}

Kb, adorable morning pic... we have the same problem here with runaway dogs and cats in the spring. People get careless, forget to check yard gates, etc. Sadly, we have coyotes, Mountain Lions, Bobcats, just waiting... Thankfully, we have Next Door Neighbor website, everyone instantly posts lost animals pics, before they get lost in the forest. And our Payson Animal Shelter or neighbors will keep pets until their owners are found. Sometimes campers will find dogs that have been missing for several months or a year or more and turn them in.

Lori, love your morning pics  :-*

Lisa, Happy Pi Day!  ;D

Lisa, the part of the set of 5 where I lay down and put my head down and turn it 45 degrees is not fun.  At the end of day 4 it may be a tad better!   10 more days to go! 
Bl, did you grow up in Bergen county?  Lovely area! thought a drive I took along the Hudson, years ago was beautiful!

Seds Beakers!   (baz, have a burger and fries once every month or two)

LOL, Karen! I won't be eating hamburgers that often... LOL! I mostly have omitted red meat from my diet, so I have a major treat every once in a long while with steaks - about twice a year, maybe a 3rd time here or there, and a good burger no more often than that, and usually only maybe twice a year (sometimes I have cheated, but I try not to!). That sure makes a meal like that a really big treat for me!  ;) ;D  Oh, I hope your special exercises will bring you some improvement! And hopefully they will get easier to do with repetition and time. Hugs!  :) :-*

Lani, OMG, I saw that KU game!!   :o :'(  I'm so sorry! For you, Mike, and the Jayhawks!! I figured it was going to be a really tough time for them after 2 of their major team stars had to sit out with injuries!! Very unfortunate timing! It would be hard for any team to overcome that against another good opponent, especially in a conference tournament. Dang! But the KU Jayhawks have had a really great year this year, and I hope they can get some wins in The Big Dance!! Hang in there!!  :)  I just finished watching my Tarheels win their conference tourney game, so they will play their next game in our conference tourney tomorrow at 7p, Eastern. Fingers crossed.  :D

Nope she doesn't after years of doing it. BTW she always had 3 plus dogs of her own before fostering.
Only recently stopped due to below. However, she still is in contact with many of the rescue groups.

These days she bought her own pure bred black shih tsu, Max, and helps take care of her son's dogs when he needs her who lives in Rochester MN....cause he has a new daughter born through IVF during covid.
In other words she's helpful now to other things in life.

Lani, I'm glad your community works together to help lost or abandoned or feral dogs and cats.  :-*

KB, you make it sound like it's a terrible place where you live. I hope things get better.

BL, I can't imagine jumping from one of those pillows to the next! Glad you were roped in! What an incredible place to stand and see!!

Lisa, glad your ENT gave you a big thumbs up!  :)

Lori, love your Spring pics. LOL on the kitty playing in the snow!!   :D :D :-* :-*

Karen, I had totally forgotten this is Pi Day till you mentioned it!!

TSK, I've been watching the weather news and forecast for your area. Hope you can get a walk in.

E4E, I hope your Mom is feeling better. Has the weather settled down near you now? Lots of windy and stormy weather sdtill about in some places of CA.

OG, have the hordes descended upon your store for gardening and yard care items yet?

Tig, you back at the pool today? Glad you had such a fun visit with Rosie.  :)

Waving to Puff, Phyl, and All the Beakers!  :D

Since it's been this way for decades I suspect a new leadership class is in need to change it.
Too many current ones who prefer to do nothing or offend someone.

Phyl, I have seen other articles about the possibly very active hurricane season that may be coming...scary... Be safe in the thunderstorms!  Love the scenery in the Pyrenees, especially with the birds! Interesting article on the Ides of March, I never really knew what it meant. Yum on the Grasshopper Pie!

Lani, what a cute dog in your good night! Glad you don't have mean dogs running loose! Are you and Mike getting all geared up for March Madness?  I love reading the Royal Albies updates, and it won't be long until the bears at NABC are out!

E4E, hoping your Mom feels a little better every day...

karen, Ed is Irish on both sides and he basically pays no attention to Saint Patrick's Day!

tsk, you mentioned algebra...ugh. I liked geometry much better!

Lisa, we had a few really nice days this past weekend, I opened the sliding door and let the kittens out on the deck. They loved being out there and watching the bird shows! Always some action there with the squirrels, the chipmunks and the birds!

1 month old baby otter at the Miami Zoo....baby otters are so dang cute!

Happy Friday all.

Leashed dogs know they are vulnerable around a loose dog. They know they can't run away nor greet a dog in a natural dog way....hmm, sniffing etc.

Loose dogs know the leashed dog is more vulnerable too. They don't have to be normally mean to lash out and bite. I asked the officer after a loose dog attacked Ollie unprovoked. Literally charged him from quite a distance away, Why?...she said there are multiple reasons. Lost? afraid? territorial can make a normally friendly dog do this.

Leashed vs. unleashed is ripe for a confrontation. Not always of course but heightened probabllity.

One more day of above average temps and then the bottom falls out...with that S word in the forecast at the end of next week. Of course they've predicted it before only to not happen, but temps are colder incoming. Lots of people have put their shovels and snow blowers away.

In fact my mower was returned to me yesterday all fixed!..cable for the self propelled function broke and the gear needed oiling. Should be much easier this summer to mow my steep hill. Yah!

TGIF Beakers!
Hi Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Phyl, we're having a well-needed rainy day too. It's been several months since we've heard our first thunderstorm. It's a treat for sure  ;D .... thanks for today's nature video and history lesson.

Clynn, well, I'd like to think we don't have mean dogs, mainly they are aggressive. Even at our gated community we have a dog park, they're are always one or two that are aggressive, like to have their way. Sadie's been attacked three times. All off-leash dogs because it's a dog park. We're cautious about taking Sadie to the park at certain times. She doesn't do well anymore in social situations with other dogs. We have one gal who has a very aggressive dog, she let's him run the golf course off-leash which is against Payson laws. But, because she's a well-known golfer, she gets her way. Her dog bit another dog that was on leash. She had been warned about allowing her dog freedom off the golf cart when she's driving through the community. Anyway, the guy reported her dog and went to court to get her to pay the over $1000 in vet bills. She fought it and lost. Ended up paying vet bill plus another $500 to the court for continuing to allow her dog off leash, even if its a gated community.  She continues to let her dog off leash on her golf cart and run the course. The HOA and Golf Course committee won't enforce the Payson leash laws on the golfers who use the course as their pet stop. Sadie hates the dog when he runs by on the course behind our home. And the owner flies by on her golf cart following him. Someday he'll come into contact with an coyote or Mountain Lion, she'll have to deal with that. The judge did tell her one more time he receives a complaint her dog will be taken....  I don't bring everything that happens in our life to the Beak. Her lack of respect for the law or community doesn't affect how much joy I have when I take Sadie for our daily walk or when Mike takes Sadie to the dog park in the late afternoon. That's his daily time with her.  I'm sure you find the current book I just wrote to you boring. LOL! But, it's just my way of saying, "just because I don't write about it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen here too." We just go on and enjoy the time we do have.... by the way, I love "Renovation Aloha!" Our first home was in Kaneohe (1971) then Mike's pop died and we moved to Kansas. What a treat it is to see how much the area has grown! Shocking cost of homes! My local tongue has returned. Mike noticed yesterday, and asked what show was I watching! I was sounding like I was back home in Hawaii. LOL!! ... beautiful Sycamore Falls! I hope Harley's appt went well, soon he'll be able to enjoy the porch with his siblings too.

Tsk, I hate math especially algebra, like Clynn, I did better in Geometry... Dr. Rogers hasn't reported any black bear movement from their dens.

Lori, wonderful birthday post for Bandit!  ;D

Lisa, The pup in my good night pic is from a rescue center.  :-*

Happy birthday Bandit!   :-*

Kb, sweet baby otter.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D


Clynn, how did Harley fare with the vet visit? I hope he's back to his regular life today.  :-*  I bet it's fun times for the kittens to see all the wildlife from your enclosed deck!  :D :-* :-*

Lisa, Happy Birthday to Bandit!!!  :D :-*

Lani, I loved reading your "book" to Clynn!  ;D  Yes, it makes so much more sense to just deal with the frustrations of daily life as best we can and go on with the greater enjoyment of the best each day offers!!  :) :-* :-* And, surely, it's the same with me, and so many other regular Beakers, that we have much going on in our lives, and not always the good or fun stuff, that we never mention at all in The Beak. It just isn't very nice to unload all that "junk" here, day in and day out, that most of us have to deal with. It's also true that most of the regulars here do understand and care when any of us is going through a troubling or difficult time, and of course, we want to support our Beaker friends through those times. So The Beak is an extra nice place to share those kinds of things, in addition to our fun and celebratory happenings, which we love to cheer each other on about, too.  :) :-*  Ha ha, I love that you are talking like you're back home in Hawaii!! And Mike noticed!!   :D :-* :-* :-*

(((Karen))), keep on keeping on with your home exercises. You're doing great to follow them!  :) I hope you and Piper are getting to enjoy some of this nice, warm weather while you get to sit on your screened porch glider!!  :D


Gotta run, Beakers. Waving to you, All!  :) :-*

BEWARE THE IDES!!    8)

Been gardening !.....I have to laugh about it...and I love it.

My second mower is being returned to me soon, just 50 bucks for new blades and a tune up.
The back yard one needed new parts so more...

I'm now set and like tsk said before Glen gets backed up which might be soon!

Lani - yuk on your neighbor with the aggressive dog

My forsythia is sure coming along in just 2 days!..almost in full bloom.

Lani, your post wasn't too long at all, it's nice to know some of the things we all go through. The 'giving celebrities a pass' when they don't follow the rules is something i cannot stand. I am glad you were able to come up with a solution for you and Sadie. I know how much you cherish your early morning walks! That is so cute that you watched Renovation Aloha and fell back into your Native dialect! I knew you would like the show, there is a lot of Hawaii in it, ! I love how the whole family gets together at the end and the house gets the traditional Hawiian Blessing... Tristyn reminds me of you, I picture you like her back in your younger days!  That Irish Dog!!!  Harley's appointment is at 3:30.

kb, Grandma always said 'one more snow after the forsythia blooms'...             

Baz, Harley's appointment is 3:30, it's 2:00 here now. 

Erin called, Bella now has to wear glasses for reading, etc. She is near-sighted! Her glasses will be here in a week or so.  :o

baz, I agree, the Beak Room is a good group, but I know most of us don't talk about everything going on in our lives. I think it all has to do with how much one wants to share... some are just more private.

tsk, some tidbits about how the Chicago River is dyed green!  https://www.timeout.com/chicago/things-to-do/how-they-dye-the-chicago-river-green

Lisa, how about a catio? There are all kinds on Pinterest, from basic to fancy!  ;D ;D

Golden Age Glamour · When developers began renovating old apartments in the new lower east side, they found bathtubs in kitchens.
Inside the now historic NY apartments new immigrants called home. Bathtubs and even showers can be found in the kitchens of many of New York's late 19th and early 20th century apartments. The apartments were often the home of new immigrants and New Yorkers living in these historic homes would bathe next to the kitchen sink.
Often this was necessary. Some buildings only had a Common Sink that all used, on the first floor. Running water and a tub was luxury. This would be common around 1900, as Public Bath Houses began to emerge in NYC. All you needed was a board for counter space. This was a "modern" East Village Apartment around 1900, as people began moving north of Houston.Also read and see more photos: https://besrilankan.com/21-historic-photos-that-captured.../

Lani - Read your story, and glad the lady lost in court and was fined.  Rules are rules, and should be followed by all, not cause you are a well-known golfer.   ::)

baz - Thank you!

kb - Not a bad price for tune-up on your mower.

Phyl - Thanks for the hurricane link.

clynn - Aww, Bella needing glasses.  Was that a surprise or did you all suspect she needed them?  I bet she will look adorable.  Good luck to Harley!  I would love that for the kitties, but Bandit would not want to come inside.  We try to take him for a walk in our arms around the yard, just to let him have some fresh air, besides with windows being open and when we bring him back inside, he bites us.  I still think he hates us for making him an indoor cat.  ;D 

tig - Enjoy your night at the pub.

Lisa, yummy on Bandit's homecooked birthday salmon treat! That was very nice of Jeff.  Party time for Bandit!  :) :-*

TSK, glad you have the treadmill to use when the weather is good. I saw the last part of your Marquette game last night! Whoa!! But they prevailed! Yay for your Golden Eagles! I found fresh-baked Irish Soda Bread at Harris Teeter today. They are also now owned by Kroger. I wonder if the loaf you found is like the one I found. It was tasty! :)

Clynn, oops... sorry... I thought Harley's vet appt was yesterday. I got the days mixed up. Now I remember you saying he would get gabapentin last night before bed, and then again today before going to the vet. I hope it has gone well for all.  :) :-*

Lani, thanks! I will be watching my Tarheels tonight, for sure!

Tig, have fun and I hope the Irish music is good.

Puff, I hope your computer person is working some good magic for you, and you will be able to get back online again soon.

Phyl, glad you didn't have any damage from severe weather at your house. I saw the severe warning in part of the Nashville area for a bit last night while watching the updates on The Weather Channel. Prayers for those affected by the severe weather outbreak... especially for the loss of life in Ohio from the tornadoes there last night.

E4E, glad you have been getting some good weather, and glad to hear your mom is getting along some better.  :)

Lori, I hope you and your family were all safe from the weather last night. I'm not sure if that line of severe storms came through your area.


I needed a veggie fix today, so I steamed fresh cabbage and baby carrots to have with a giant bowl of salad I made from two different kinds of Organic Girl mixed baby greens - one was Super Greens, and the other was Baby Kale mix. I drizzled it with some homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette. It tasted so good! I have been lacking in the veggie dept. lately! But... I also picked up a fresh-baked loaf of Irish Soda Bread today, and had it with buttter! Yum! And a glash.  ;D  And, I put some butter on the steamed veggies!  :o ;D  That was a big treat, and it was all so yum!

That was a late lunch, and then I walked for 31 minutes. The clouds have moved in and thickened up now - for rain tonight. I will watch my UNC Tarheels play their conference semi-final game tonight at 7pm, Eastern, and I will have some kind of snack with that, for sure. So I better start getting some longer walks in! LOL.


Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

PHYL   NOAA has a while to go before predicting.  You just never know.

CLYNN   If Bella needs glasses for reading I think that means she is far-sighted ?( can't see near but can see far)  I hope she picked out some wild  frames  ;) ;) Did she get tested in school?      As kids - we all got glasses really early - Dad needed glasses all the time and Mom for driving only altho she did wear them all the time.  So us three kids could not escape that.  Good story about the dying of the Chicago River  ;D    1900s kitchen - yet they made do.    Great shots of that prairie chicken.

TIG   Ambitious project!!  I have two hosta to move but no where near ready for that.  Have fun tonight  ;D

LISA   I've never been to the Parade.  Can watch on TV if I want  LOL   I hardly ever go downtown anymore and never, driving.  I know, you can whiz through that city like no body's business  LOLOL  I can take the train or EL down with my senior pass  ;D

Thinks for the reminder of the Ides of March!   Good refresher!
Did not mind Algebra as much as Trigonometry. Nasty stuff!  Has sines and cosines but don't ask me more! 
Happy Birthday to Bandit!   I was going to ask if he got a fish cake!   Salmon is good! 
Good posts all.  Going to settle down and concentrate on the Tar heels now!

Royal Albatross ~ LGL & WYL Come Home To Feed Their Chicks! 💗 Sweet Neighborly Interactions 3.14.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Q92vrolPA

Mar 15, 2024
This was a very interesting interaction by WYL and LGL when they came in to feed their chicks! First WYL arrives and he feeds TFT and sits and rests a while- then gives a 2nd feeding! TFT gets a huge piece (looks like a tentacle) and swallows it. WYL then leaves his nest and comes over to TF's nest and does some Albie- chick-sitting 🙂 Uncle WYL is such a great albie pseudo parent to TF.

LGL arrives back and walks up to her nest and has some neighborly interactions and preening with WYL. LGL walks over to TFT nest and WYL comes over and they have another preening session.

Albatross commonly will preen one another to remove head lice. It does not mean that they are interested in a new mate. LGL then returns to TF and gives her chick a feeding.

LGL returns to WYL and TFT and they interact once another. Looks like LGL does nudge TFT with her bill gently - TFT wants Dad all to his self! WYL starts in on giving TFT a 3rd feeding and LGL will leave. WYL departs shortly after LGL. TFT's weight should get a big bump up from today's feedings!! And will TF be able to maintain his status as the heaviest chick in the colony again next week? ♥

Phyl, Harley did good at the vet, got his claws trimmed. Ed said he started getting fidgety near the end! The Doc said he could stand to lose a little weight! Ha! And there's Bob! Sweet kitties with their Saint Patty's hats! We sure do learn a lot here in the Beak, don't we!  56 and windy here today! Love the sound of the Sandhill Cranes in the 365!

oldguy, lots of goodies to watch, looking forward to watching them later!  Didn't know donkeys were so fierce!

Lani, thanks for the Alby update! I feel I need a gameboard and some pawns labeled WYL, LGL, TFT & TF to map out all their interactions! No, I never noticed any issues with Bella's sight! It was the teacher that suggested an eye check! And tsk is right, I said it wrong. She is near sighted, needs the glasses for distance sight, like the blackboard or TV.

E4E, yes, I was surprised that Bella needed glasses! She gets that from her Mom, Erin has excellent vision. I remember when he was probably in 6th grade or so, he wanted glasses! So we had his eyes checked and they were fine!

tsk, you were right! Bella doesn't need glasses for reading! It's the blackboard! I am assuming they still use blackboards in school...  ;D  I remember Cathy and I being scared when we rode with Becky and Jennifer when they lived in Chicago! They were pros at it though! It was crazy! Portland was almost as bad! Now they are in a much smaller town, sort of in the country.

baz, you are doing good on your walking! And your salad sounds delish! We are going to let Harley upstairs later this morning. He is up here now, we let him have the run of the house since the kittens are in our bedroom for the night. We shoo him down with Ed at 7:00 and let the kittens out. Then at 9:00 PM the kittens go upstairs and Harley gets to come up.

Lisa, hope Bandit had a good birthday! How nice of Jeff to treat him with some salmon! I got salmon at Sams and some fresh asparagus for dinner Sunday!

Lori, love your Happy Birthday for Bandit!

It seems like the musician recognizes me... with a hug and chat... although we only see each other one day a year! A nice couple shared their table with us but we only stayed to eat during the first set. It was a high top table/chairs. Not comfy. Who invented high tops!? Why?
Great music from the duo ... guitar and bodhran: http://www.theirishbrigadeband.com/wordpress_IB/

tig - can't open your link. Says secure site.

I think I know what you mean by high top....I have a dining room table that is one with high top chairs.
Comes in handy for the disabled to easily skootch in and sit....esp. after Scott had his industrial accident.
Our seats are comfy though...maybe yours were just wood and not upholstered?

Just took a graupel walk!...unintended of course but dark spring looking clouds and cold and then on the way home those clouds opened up. Not on radar, nor predicted.
The graupel was soft enough to not hurt though!..

TSK - yep, I understand. I hate the height of most chairs = too short. It is a good thing to climb up if there is a ring on the table for a place to rest feet. It was a rectangular table last night, so no ring. Not comfy.

KB - anyone? - I plan to give the tulips that are already coming up some water and not worry about the overnight cold since they are in a raised bed near the house.
Do you think I should water the fern rhizomes I transplanted or just leave them for now, as they appear to be in their dormant state?

Thanks Tsk!  Was going to post that they were on fledge watch and was finishing set one of three when this happened!  E23 back in the nest tree after several exploratory flights and stops in the pasture area!  He has good landing skills!  Back squeeing for applause for his performance or  for lunch!

Damp following an overnight rain and a high of 83 today.  Same for tomorrow and cooler Monday and for a few days!

Eburg, watcher Iowa til half time and fell asleep!  Congratulations on the win!  Not pleased that they  beat Illinois on the 10th however!  Old Guy, sorry about your loss!  You have a very successful ladies team to cheer for.

Clynn, what fun are you having with tge kitties and Harley?   Shoukd be in full swing now!
Are Bellas glasses bifocals or does she have to take them off every time she reads close up?   Might be a hard adjustment!  Or hard in the glasses. On and off!   Good call on the teacher.

I don't think watering will hurt at all tig...the topsoil has been unfrozen for some time. Even though we have several days ahead with nights in a hard freeze I don't think it's long enough now to worry. Daytime highs will all be above freezing.

I have heard several people are watering not just specific plants but their grass. I'm unwilling to turn the inside water on and off with freezing nights ahead, but believe me I thought about it.
I also didn't mow my back yard yesterday though I sure wanted to, to check the mower out, and I do that often early to "air out" my yard and pick up stray leaves, sticks, and bark before the spring rains return.
But, I didn't want to leave gas in my mower with our evening temps coming up.
Probably would have been okay but I bit my tongue so to speak.

Yay!  :D  So UNC will play NC State tonight at 8:30pm (Eastern) for ACC Conference Tourney Championship, on ESPN. People here will call it the Carolina vs State game. There is only 23 miles distance between the campuses of UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State (in Raleigh), so we are major rivals!!

TSK, I will be checking in on your Marquette Golden Eagles' game later today. They play the UCONN Huskies for your Big East Conference Tourney Championship at 6:30pm (Eastern) on the Fox Network channel. That's going to be a BIG game!! Go Marquette!!  :D

Lani, I love this story - and the great pic with it! The Royal Albies are really special - love the way they look after each other!  :) :-* :-* :-* I'm so glad to hear you are getting a good, slow, soaking rain! Your area needs it - as do so many others. I thought I saw snow on the weather map near your area yesterday, so thanks for the confirmation that you did get a bit of slushy snow. It would be great if the desert gets another super bloom this year! I guess it's a wait-and-see at this point.

TSK, I love your pic of Lulu at your front window!!  :-* :-* I bet she's getting to watch some good action now that the birdies are getting their Spring-time "crazies." Pooh, I was trying to re-display Lulu's pic upright here, embedded, but I can't get it to work right.  :-*   :D


Oldguy, it sounds like Spring has sprung at your store now! Yep, lots of exciting games, and surprises in the Conference Tourney basketball games!! That's making for some guessing about the seedings/pairings for who all gets in to play in the big NCAA Tournament. I will be watching tomorrow when the final NCAA Tourney Brackets get decided! Lots of fun!  ;D  If y'all are getting together for it - Good luck at cards tonight!!  :D

It seems like the musician recognizes me... with a hug and chat... although we only see each other one day a year! A nice couple shared their table with us but we only stayed to eat during the first set. It was a high top table/chairs. Not comfy. Who invented high tops!? Why?
Great music from the duo ... guitar and bodhran: http://www.theirishbrigadeband.com/wordpress_IB/

HAGD

Tig, hope the food was good, at least, and the 1 set of Irish music. I believe those high-top tables and tall chairs were designed for seating people near the bar, and near some countertops, to be at pretty much the same height as the bar/countertop height, and the people sitting at them. LOL on the friendly musician!  :D

Thanks Tsk!  Was going to post that they were on fledge watch and was finishing set one of three when this happened!  E23 back in the nest tree after several exploratory flights and stops in the pasture area!  He has good landing skills!  Back squeeing for applause for his performance or  for lunch!

Damp following an overnight rain and a high of 83 today.  Same for tomorrow and cooler Monday and for a few days!

Eburg, watcher Iowa til half time and fell asleep!  Congratulations on the win!  Not pleased that they  beat Illinois on the 10th however!  Old Guy, sorry about your loss!  You have a very successful ladies team to cheer for.

Clynn, what fun are you having with tge kitties and Harley?   Shoukd be in full swing now!
Are Bellas glasses bifocals or does she have to take them off every time she reads close up?   Might be a hard adjustment!  Or hard in the glasses. On and off!   Good call on the teacher.

Karen, yay! for E23's successful fledge! Accidental, or not, it sounds like he is doing really well to have made several flights in the pasture, and made it back to the nest tree, safely! Yayay for E23!!   :D :-* I hope you didn't jump up, mid-exercise set, and mess up your ears!  ;) Just joking!

Clynn, we might need that gameboard and pieces to track Harley and The Kittens, too!  ;) ;) :D But that all sounds like a good, working plan for all. Glad to hear Harley did well at the new vet.  :-*  Can't wait to hear what happens between Harley and Sam and Sophie with their first tête-à-tête!  :D  Those falls are gorgeous!! Yummy salmon and asparagus planned for your Sunday dinner - that's a great combo!!  :)

Lani, Harley doesn't play with cat toys much, but Sam and Sophie love their toys!  Sophie is a trash picker, she will play with anything!  I was eating some baby carrots and she stole one and played with it! Springs are her favorite, Sam loves pompom balls, he carries them all over! Every few days I get the long-handled Swiffer and get all the toys out from under furniture! We got the cats together twice yesterday, and will do more today! I started wearing glasses in the 5th grade, and it was the teacher that suggested to Mom that they get my eyes checked!  The cat that turned to stone, LOLOL!

E4E, glad you had a ball game to go to! I can't wait until it warms up more here!

oldguy, more not so good news for Grindavik.  I looked at one of the videos on the side, this one has spectacular views of the lava flow!      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjKvD4nS2qQ

BL, one can actually swim in the teacups? Wow! That would be unique!  I really enjoy your comments when you have been to any of the places I post a picture of!

Emy, love the turtle on his skateboard!

Phyl, oh that kitty in the crocheted Saint Patty hat! Thanks for the Saint Patrick's Day info, especially why we wear green! Great Sandhill Cranes in the 365, love the sounds!

Happy St. Patrick's Day Beakers!
Morning Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Clynn, Hildermann does a fantastic job of reporting on the Iceland volcano lava flow. Boy, is it flowing... glad your cat family is being introduced. I'm sure your vet helped you with ideas too... Miss Bella will look adorable with glasses, just like her beautiful mom. Love today's St. Pat's pics.

Phyl, thanks for history of St. Patrick's Day.  I had chosen my morning pic before I read your post, so I appreciate it's history.... a gathering of Sandhill cranes and off they go... I wish we had a telescope. So much to see out in the universe. thanks for the Livescience link.

BL, Beautiful Tea cups... Have you and Pip ever been to any of the falls on any of the Hawaiian isles?

Tig, thanks for links

Lisa, Mike's going to pick up a Reuben for my late lunch today too. He'll have his usual Sunday halibut for his dinner.  ;D

Tsk, you have very talented great nieces. Good luck to her!  ;D

{{{Baz}}}

{{{Puff}}} thinking of you  :-*

Mike's lower back is giving him problems again, he'll have to get in for another shot, but this time in a different area. He can't lay down, so sleeping at night hasn't been comfortable for the past week or more. Mike keeps his pain discomfort to himself, but I'm not blind. I catch him holding on to the walls or counters again. His last shot was Dec. 23rd. He was able to go 14 months before he had an injection into the spine in Dec., now he needs one sooner. We're hoping he doesn't have to go through an MRI and insurance approval before he can get one. He needs to fly to Utah to check on his company truckers end of March. Well, he's looking forward to March Madness Bracket announcement at 3pm PT. I wonder how many in our Big 12 conference will be invited.  ;D

What fun I've been having. . .NOT!  But I did get back in enough to check in.   :-\   New machine switched me into HP 11 -  What's the old saying?  Something about "old dog, new tricks".  It ain't fun.  But I'll keep working on things.  Worst modification so far would be getting/sending mail.  (Not that I use it that much?)   :'(  They do give me the option to revert back to 10 -- as soon as I solve that riddle, maybe soon.

Did get in and figure out how to open/read forum channels.  One major kink even here; maybe Amy can give me a clue.

OK switch to a fun day and celebration!!!!  I do have ala my Dad some distant link to the Irish.  (Reminder - I am an "American" mix, makes me true American:  Mom = German/Russian   Dad = Italian/Irish/Cherokee)  I finished baking last night and cut into one of my Irish Soda Breads.  Had 2 slices for breakfast.   Truth be told:  L got the recipe from an Irish travel advisor in north Chicago area.  Most don't know there is a "to do" between Chicago area northern Irish and southside Irish.  There is also a "rivalry" when it comes to Irish soda bread.  While chatting with my orthopedic surgeon (James Moran), conversation between the two of us who like to talk always,  he asked me what I use in my recipe.  He informed me when I finished that his wife made hers the same way.  Unfortunately, his declaration was that that is not Irish soda bread but American Irish soda bread.  Well, la di dah!  My rebuttal was that I've tasted Irish soda bread many times while in Ireland - very seldome and very little.  It's horri  terrible.   ;D  They just use a lot of Guiness to wash it down.   ::) 

Now I'm ready to start the corned beef.  (I don't like cooked cabbage, so for my tradition I use brussel sprouts.  Always made cabbage for Ton.)  Also listening to Irish folk and reel music while watching games.  Love corned beef.  I'll be doing leftovers for the week.

Glad to be back in the groove, even if there are ruts.

P

P.S.  Yes I have been to the "old sod" I guess maybe 6 or 7 times.  I have the greatest of many reasons for me to say it is my #1 choice for a beautiful, fun, people friendly of places I've been to.  I've also taken on the challenge of getting certified by their master national travel bureau.

TIG  If  I were you I would water the rhizomes well 1 time and they should do well.

KAREN  Glad you provided the update on E23.   I saw that later that E23 had returned on his own.  Yes his performance should earn him some "brownie" points. ;D ;D   Karen I made the dessert - HOWEVER  Misread the carton of milk and didn't realize it was buttermilk - I was wondering why the pudding did not gel   ::) ::) ::).   SO we had a very elaborate grasshopper pudding dessert  LOLOL  I will make it again however using the right milk.   Also there is not the size pudding on the self they ask for ( 3.9 oz)  - ever so I just used large.

LORI   Great Caturday posts  ;D   Love the fat cat- feet up- on the table  LOL

BAZI  I'm so glad you post times for the games.  What time are the brackets being announced tomorrow?  Uncle Jim just left .  Early dinner of corned beef and cabbage, potatoes carrots.  I see MU game is on now  YAY  Dishwasher is going - My soft clothes are on!

PHYL    LOL  " He saw you in curlers"  ;D

LANI   ..." they sent the ugly fireman"  LOL

EMY   That was a great piece with the turtle skate boarder and the kitty  LOL

TSK, the regular CBS network channel will announce the official NCAA Tourney Brackets starting at 6pm, Eastern time, today. After that's over, ESPN and other sports channels will have all the talking heads doing analysis of the brackets/Bracketology for about as long as anyone cares to listen to it, and more.  ;) :D  Sorry about your Marquette Golden Eagles - it was a close game till about halfway through the 2nd half. Looks like they're headed to the NCAA Tourney anyway - same situation as for my Tarheels.  :(

Eburg, your Iowa State game was incredible!!! They chewed up Number 1 Houston from the very beginning, and spat them out at the end!!   ;D ;D

Love the cat Phyl posted  re telling him what he did wrong!  So true!
Piper and I are tired sonwill turn this thing off!  Seds

Karen, not happy hardly describes it.  ;) :o Yes, NC State's team has been possessed during the entire Conference Tourney - definitely a different team from their regular season play. They played great last night. What can I say? I feel bad for my Tarheels, who had a bad shooting night, and seemed to forget to play their usual top-performing offensive rebounding.  ??? ::)  Even so, they still won the regular season conference championship title, and have that banner hung in the rafters of the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill, and the corresponding trophy in the case there at the Dean Smith Center, already. So that's a major positive! And, they will be moving on now to the NCAA Tournament - and I hope they will shake off last night's game, and still get their Number 1 Seed for The Big Dance... which we will see, officially, tonight at 6pm (Eastern) on CBS, when the NCAA Tournament brackets are officially announced. GO HEELS!!  ;D

Does anyone in the Beak use the Robo Vac? Our walking buddy is considering getting one.
Their sweet 20 year old cat Lucy passed away last spring. They are ready to get another cat and rescue Goldie puppy to go with their 6 year old dog Molly. So, they are considering getting one for their wood/tile floors. They are reading comments on the product. So any Beaker comments on the Robo vac would be appreciated.

Given it's corned beef day....I don't have any. But so reminded me of a common meal at my house called
Creamed chipped beef on toast....It was an army meal...my Dad was a lieutenant in the army so I suppose?

I have no idea where to buy chipped beef anymore?....anyone?..maybe they don't sell it.

creamed chipped beef recipe....very similar to what I ate and loved btw, minus the onion.
https://www.food.com/recipe/creamed-chipped-beef-on-toast-17002

This is the only difference I could find off google:
Dried beef, also called chipped beef, is beef that has been partially dried, salt-cured and thinly sliced.

Is corned beef also brined? the only difference?

Am I alone on this One?

KB, my mom made creamed chipped beef on toast for supper sometimes, too. I always liked it, and my older, Mtns Sis, loves chipped beef.  In addition to what Lisa mentioned about where to find it, I have bought it "canned" in a jar - Armour brand is sold in most grocery stores, including Walmart... you may need to rinse it if it is too salty, so check that out. Hormel sells a similar version in a glass jar, too. Here's a pic of the Armour version in a jar :

Yep. Grew up having creamed chipped beef on toast. My dad was a butcher for a bit. We had lots of meat, including salt pork on Sundays.
Lisa... Poutine is the name of the dish. Mine will be leftover crispy fries, leftover pork butt, shredded cheese, melted Cheese Whiz. Ranch for dipping. Oink.
I noticed Cub had a special... Bogo on Lucky Charms (for Camper) and $10 off a $100 order. So, I moved our order from next Friday back to today. Camper picked it up. ( We have a larger order every two weeks).

Hi Og  :)

Hi Eburg  :)

Lani - Hope Mike's favorite team is winning!     I am not into corned beef and neither is my hubby, so we might grill chicken for our dinner!    Sorry to Mike is dealing with lower Back discomfort again.  I sure hope he can get a shot soon - especially before he goes to Utah.

Phyl - Like your St. Patrick's stuff and great links & info. ;D

Clynn - Something tells me that Harley wasn't too receptive to meet S&S?   I know you are being cautious. :)  Hope it went okay. :)

Tsk - Our Grandson is playing R-field!    Enjoy your great niece at the ice review!!! Sounds exciting!! ;D ;D

Hi Tig  :)

Hi Puff, Karen & Baz  :)

KB, if you decide look for the chipped beef in the jar, or in a can, it is usually on the grocery store aisle that has "Canned Meat" listed overhead - where you find things like canned chicken, tuna, ham, deviled ham, Spam, etc...

E4E, grilled chicken sounds yummy, and you have nice weather for it!  :)

OG, I wonder if you had cards last night... hope you won!  :)

BL, wow on swimming in "The Teacups!" How deep was it? Did it feel extra "mineral-ly?"



Time to see about my cabbage, carrots, and pastrami & swiss sliders. Then I will watch the CBS NCAA Basketball Brackets show on TV.

We have let Harley up 3 times today, twice yesterday. Each time he stays a little longer and although still hissing, it's not a MEAN hiss. Sam and Sophie have both gone right up to him. So far he has backed off. I think it will get a little better each day, and even better when whey can go on the deck. I may give him a bit of the gabapentin tomorrow just to relax him some. He has always been a very wary cat, jumps at everything, scared of everything! This is one of Sophie's favorite toys, a metal mesh waste basket. She has been playing with it for 20+ minutes! Her green spring toy is inside the wastebasket...

kb, we always called the chipped beef on toast S.O.S. (S**t on a Shingle). I remember it was one of the regular meals back in the old days! Our grocery store has it, check by the tuna fish, top shelf.

E4E, I love grilled chicken, I always have Ed cook extra so I have some for my salads! We are waiting until Tuesday for our salmon and asparagus, it's too cold today. 38 last time I looked.

baz, Peace, Love Luck! Perfect! Your sliders sound good! Thank you for the Beatles!

Lisa, that reuben looks so good! I would get it on sourdough bread though, don't care for rye... Love sauerkraut! YUM!

tig, seems I remember having roast beef on Sundays! But we had SOS at least once a month, along with meatloaf, tuna noodle casserole, goulash, fried chicken...all the food Mom's used to cook!

Lani, oh no on Mike's back! I will cross my fingers and pray that he can get a shot with no complications!

Lori, good to see you, with all the goodies and puppies and kitties!

tsk, I see you are having a colder day today too! The Harley,Sam/Sophie story goes on...

Clynn... !!! Yes!  I remember S.O.S. Dad was a staff Sergeant in the Army. Mom cooked very balanced nutritious meals all week. She worked 6 hr. days and walked the 3.5 miles to work as we only had one car (we were able to afford a second car some years later). She never sat down at night... always baking, cooking, cleaning, etc. On Sundays we would have a large brunch after church. Sunday nights were Mom's night to relax. We had grilled cheese sammies and soup, or something else easy. Then, she sat and watched Disney's The Wonderful World of Color, Ed Sullivan, etc.

OG no good news for Grindavik--awesome videos, tks

BL swimming in a 'tea cup' waterfall---that's  a  trick  LOL   I got it   ;)

CLynn that's a-popular St. Pat's Day arrangement;  tks for sharing Karen's petunia s and azalais , looks like a nice neighborhood.  Ahhhh Harley poor fella. .  :-*

Tsk I know some cute knitted top hat for puss.  Brrr! day for you, Tim and Miss Lulu. Do enjoy your niece's skating performance. Snaps?

Tig flaky white stuff for you today also---Brrr!  Tks for the Irish music honoring the day.

Lisa very nice St Pat's for today; We're having Rubens for dinner w/a brew each and green salad of romaine, spinach and kale w/ tommy-toes all
dressed in Ranch. Dessert- Grasshopper Pie w/ Reddi Whipp (whatelse?)

Lani  One day I'll have that telescope--- Outer Space is all there is...endless dark void with floating masses of matter, so compressed they're  all but   impenetrable. An infinity dotted with gaseous clouds and fiery planets as  if burning beacons to light the way.   ;) :)

(((Puff)))  I hear ya.

Lori nice St  Pat's greeting. Tks

Lani  sorry to hear about your Mike/back...I personally know, 'ain't no fun.       No Robo Vac here---they need to be perfected. IMHO    If memory serves,  been ages ago, I think Godiva got one when they first came out.  Although, fat lotta good that does  :(

KB touching Ellie video

Eagles cute leprechaun today . LOL I'm left wondering why I only have  Rubens on March 17TH   As I just love them.  ::)


My little Missy's awake---time for chow.

LANI   So sorry to hear about Mike's back again.  And agree. Sure hope he won't have to go through all the testing/ins. approval again either.  Missed the bracket of course - Will need to find that on-line.

PUFF   Well I've been getting notice that my PC will not support 11 so I am happy with that.  Seems I just got 10  ::) ::)   Interesting project to research - the difference in the two breads.

TIG   Have never had a poutine  ;) ???

LORI  You find the cutest celebratory pets  ;D ;D  AND desserts

BAZI   Thanks for the time of bracket announcing - just hit record but some is over already..Will catch later.

KB   Mom used to make us chipped beef on toast all the time!!!   Aww sweet elie giving the "machinery" a thank you. ;D

LISA   Love the bread on that Reuben

CLYNN  I have weeks to go before my azaleas look like KAREN's

T40   Missed you this weekend  ;) ;)

PHYL   Great niece in 3 numbers - has improved greatly since last saw  her ice review.  Wore my parka but was still freezing.

Good evening Beakers!   Hope all had a great day celebrating St, Paddys Day!  Great posts on it and cute pictures!
Clynn,  thanks for posting my blooming things!  Petunias have been outside since Fall.  Yes, Sos!   also made with hamburger!   Had it at times as well as a kid.  I have had the  Stouffers   Frozen kind and although most of the stuff they make is good quality  this is poor value.  Jmo.  If you need a Reuben fix  some time, Arbys does a decent job. I have never thought of dried chipped beef as being the same as  corned beef.   Tge latter is brisket which is brined,  looks like a roast!

Pleasant humid day in the low 80’s   With high humidity.   Heavy rain and a col down to toe 60-70  degree level for the week! 

E23 was showered with fish, etc on his fledge day ,  still home   But a feisty one.
I sympathize with  Mike and his back!  Have to call for a shot myself!
Take care  and seds

{{{Puff}}} great to see your post! I'm sorry you're having trouble with your new computer. I hope you have a good Sunday. :-*

Kb, wonderful ellie rescue.... We love chip beef on toast. Mike had it in the Navy, and of course, my stepfather made it for us too. I have a Hormel Dried beef in a jar in the refrig now, there's about a third left for another meal. You can get it in the Deli or Canned Beef aisle of Safeway, Walmart, Basha's... I see Baz posted to you too, as well as others.

Lori, love your St. Pat's posts!  :-*

Baz, Yummy sliders! I hope you have good night after seeing your Tarheels are #1seed.

Lisa, yummy Reuben!  ;D

Eagles, wishing your grandson good luck! Baseball season is right around the corner. Chicken sounds perfect!

Clynn, Karen's azaleas and petunias are gorgeous! Glad to hear Harley and the kittens are spending more and more time with each other... wonderful video of Bride and Bridesmaid!

Tig, I enjoy your stories of your childhood and parents.

Phyl, thanks for replying to my robo vac question. I know they've improved the machine. I was just curious. The couple are reading all the online comments.... yummy dinner.

Karen, your Petunias are gorgeous especially through the late fall and winter months.

Good night!

E23 survived an owl strike.  The report was not clear as to if it was Saturday or Sunday night.  At any rate, his practice flights to and from all the branches of  the nest tree paid off as he   Flew throughout the tree to escape!   Smart boy!

Jackie and Shadow at Big Bear are having problems too, none of their 3 eggs hatched...  20 here right now, high 41 today. Lots of Sandhill cranes heading North!

Lani, I can tell that you are getting excited for the basketball games! Is Mike able to take a few days off work, ya know, like vacation days? I don't know anyone who has a Robo vac. Have just seen videos of cats riding on them...LOLOL!  I wonder if they have a guarantee that you will like or get your $ back.

KAREN  My azalea is just now getting the tiniest sign of life  ;) ;)   Those gosh darn owls - E23 will get the hang of dodging them.

OLDGUY    LOLOL  Loved the cook and " well I'll just throw another stick of butter in"  LOLOL  Looked great but would not have done the chicken - That beef and onions and cabbage was way more than a side dish  .  One good thing about the lava flow should it reach the south road is that the fiber optic cable may be buried far enough not to be disturbed.  Hope it doesn't get to that.  The maps are really good - I like to visualize LOL    OG  Ace card player and the luck of the Irish!!

PHYL   I have Nolly recorded as well as the other new one that comes after it.  I'll get to it sooner or later.  ::) ::)   That throat patch would be revolutionary.  I would love to see one work.

Happy Bird Day, Lisa - any plans for today?

Having a sleep number guy come out this am to check on Chris' bed...It was pre pay though Chris thinks he fixed 1/2 of his issues earlier today...oh well we shall see.

Our precip (Snow) predicted totals starting Sunday on my app keep going up and are literally scaring me!
Over 15 inches over a few days!

I'm not sure we've had that much all season so far. I sure do hope they are as wrong at predicting weather as they have been. ;) Though I haven't used my snowblower to date and got it ready to go down to the shop. Now I'll try to finagle both mower and snowblower together in the garage some how in case.
Please be wrong. Please be wrong. I'll get prepared closer to the time if need be.

Interesting study:
https://www.wionews.com/science/handwriting-not-typing-linked-to-better-learning-and-memory-study-701096

So previously it was determined cursive writing was better for memory than printing.

Now any type of handwriting is better than typing.

I wonder how much our young students are losing out because they gave up teaching cursive for the most part and then they switch to typing altogether....can't be good!

KB   No kidding on your snow possibilities.  :o   Love the camouflage abilities of owls.  Loved that writing by hand article.  My daily planner is all by hand as are grocery lists and many to do lists.  LOL

KAREN   My Milwaukee twin great nieces are learning cursive.

LISA   Enjoy your lunch out today.  It is freezing here today - very windy and chill in the 20's  :o  I'm positive OG's b-day cake is "low sugar"  ;) ;) ;)

LORI  We have a small store in town that is exclusively macarons!  Pricey but a nice surprise treat for someone.

Off to ladies lunch with 4 of the 7 of us Barb in Fl, Jo having medical tests and Maureen just broke her tibia and had surgery  sigh.  Growing old is not for the faint hearted!!!

That cake uses cherries, so it has to be diabetic approved...

Cherries are a healthy fruit that people living with diabetes can safely consume as part of a healthy eating plan. Cherries are a low GI fruit, which can help people to regulate their blood sugar levels more effectively. Cherries are also rich in recommended nutrients for diabetes, such as vitamin C and fiber. Jul 19, 2023

How many cherries can a diabetic eat per day?
Healthy sources of dietary carbs include nonstarchy vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and beans. Cherries are an option, but it's important to monitor your portion size. According to The British Diabetic Association, a small portion is 14 cherries (about the same as 2 kiwi fruit, 7 strawberries, or 3 apricots).

 ;) ;D

{{{Tsk}}} enjoy your girl time!  :-*

Tig, have fun!  :)

Lisa, I ended up not getting a reuben. I decided to wait until Mike was better. Enjoy your birthday lunch and day with Jeff!  :-*

Kb, that owl is camouflaged so well. My penmanship isn't as nice as it once was... sign of typing too much. LOL! But, my daily notes, cards, grocery lists, etc., are by hand.

Clynn, Mike doesn't use his vacation days. He's decided to leave for Utah this week. He's going to schedule his shot, then drive to Gila Bend, stay a couple of days, pick up an employee to go with him to Utah. He's thinking about driving there. We don't take vacations. I can't remember the last time we took a trip other than to go with Aly to Santa Fe and watch her graduate.... Oh my gosh, I pray SWFL can get people to help remove roadkill. We can't lose M15 or any of the eagles.  :'( ... sweet Boo  :-*

Phyl, Thanks for a JB classic nature video.... amazing Science break through for those with vocal cord problems. That's sad about Sauces nest.... Thanks for the SWFL video.

Oldguy, Congrats on your great cards!   8) .... I am shocked at how close the people are standing near the lava flow. I can't believe that is allowed. ... Maru  :-*

Karen, Darn those GHOs! Here is the video from Lady Hawk.
SWFL Eagles ~ OWL STRIKES & KNOCKS E23 OFF ATTIC! E23 FLIES LOW TOWARDS FRONT PASTURE! 3.17.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8ytev_np1c

Mar 16, 2024  #southwestfloridaeaglecam #SWFEC #baldeagles
UPDATE March 17th 2024 ~ This morning we could see that E23 in a snag tree close to the nest. At 08:56 E23 flew to the church side snag! Amazing to see E23 flying just fine after such a scary evening! E23 made it back to the nest at 09:27:28.  Indeed E23 is a true warrior eagle and has just proved how much determination and courage it has!

UPDATE: E23 HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN A TREE AND APPEARS TO BE FINE.  ♥♥ You can see E23 flap and stretch its wings out at 02:17:14 on the livestream Pond Cam. Please do not go to the nest and spook E23. This is a critical time for the young fledgling after just getting hit by an owl. E23 will make it back to the nest tree in the morning.

At 00:52:05, a Great Horned Owl struck E23 from the front & knocked E23 backwards off the attic branch. E23 went down and the owl landed on the other nest tree branch and watched E23 falling and went after in the same direction. From the pond cam, we can see E23 falling and going down but was able to fly to the west (right) very low. It appeared that E23 landed in a tree and missed the branch and went down to the ground close to the road. A few seconds later it looks like E23 tried flying again. At 00:52:57 it looks like possibly the owl went in that same vicinity, crossing the road and then back to the tree.

This is all we know at this time. I have notified SWFEC and they will be taking the appropriate measures to locate and make sure E23 is okay. Please do not go to the nest and possibly cause E23 to be even more spooked. I will update everyone as soon as I know something. Prayers for E23 to be okay and not be injured by this owl strike. As soon as it is light out, our local crew will at the nest to look for E23. Thank you for watching!

Ran across this band this week.  They are from Ontario Canada.  The group name is "Walk off the Earth".   The band gained an international following in 2012 with their cover of the Gotye song “Somebody That I Used to Know,” which the five band members performed simultaneously on one guitar.  The female lead vocalist is Sarah Blackwood and she is married to Gianni “Luminati” Nicassio (guitar/drummer).  They have 3 sons currently 10,8, and 6.  The boys perform as the "Luminati Suns" either alone or with the band.  In 2023 the boys won the Juno Award for Children's Album of the Year — Romeo Eats Vol. 2.  The original songs performed by the band and kids are composed by Sarah.
This is a performance from November '23 - The boys do their song at 34 minutes and it is followed by the band doing their song that made them famous - 4 people playing 1 guitar...
Walk off the Earth live at Tivoli Utrecht 2023   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fwCA1SX5U8

I'm so glad to hear the update on E23 being okay this morning after that scary owl strike, and glad to know that Mighty M15 is okay after almost being hit by a car while he was getting roadkill. Thanks to All for those updates!  :-* :-*


Lani, pretty Lily gif for Lisa's b'day! Fingers crossed that Mike will get a shot for his back very soon! Isn't Kansas playing its 1st round NCAA game in Utah? Maybe Mike can snag a ticket if he will be within driving distance?? I need to print the NCAA Tourney bracket so I can give it a better look. I didn't see a story link with your TRR pics - I'm guessing that's a Toucan chick... awwww... so sweet... takes me back to when I raised my previous parrot, Sweet Pea, from a featherless chick - all the many formula handfeedings by pipette and syringe... I hope the Toucan chick grows up strong and healthy! Sweet pic of the baby sloth!  :-* :-*

Karen, your blooming yard of azaleas and the front porch petunias are so pretty! I hope you can get a shot for your back pain again soon. Yep, dried chipped beef and corned beef are two entirely different things. But the dried beef is used in the creamed chipped beef dishes that I have always seen, or eaten. Did you have your grocery service take back the wrong order and bring you the correct one? It sounded like you had gotten someone else's order by mistake. If that's what happened, they're supposed to fix that at no charge, if you let them know.

Clynn, thanks for posting Karen's pics! LOL on cute, playful Sophie being self-entertained with her green spring in a "cage."  ;) :D It sounds like the Harley & The Kittens (sounds like a band) scenario is going pretty well so far! I agree with you - maybe it will go even better when they can go out on the deck together, and all get distracted by your backyard nature, instead of concentrating on each other so much. All good things in time.  :) :-* :-* :-* I really like that Paul McCartney song I posted yesterday... it is an upbeat, toe-tapping, "Let's Dance!" kind of song for me... yeah, it sounds so much like The Beatles, though it is post-Beatles - by McCartney, with his band, Wings. Oh, good, it sounds like the weather will be better for cooking your yummy salmon and asparagus dinner in a day or two.

Phyl, I have seen that kids are getting taught cursive handwriting again in many schools. My "greats" are learning it in their schools.

OG, YAYAY on your 3-out-of-3 wins at cards this weekend! Fun!!  :D

KB, Spring snows... what'r'ya gonna do?  ::)  Hopefully you won't get as much accumulation as you mentioned. Who knows if the forecast will be correct. I think the weather forecasters have been just as flummoxed trying to interpret the surprising climate changes for weather forecasts as we have been by those forecasts! The weather forecasting models will take time to catch up to the changing surprises in the climatology. Meanwhile, I'm depending a lot these days on the "Rock" forecasting model... you know, look out your window at the rock in your yard... if it's wet, it's raining; if it's white, it's snowing; if it's gone, it's very windy!  ;D ;D ;)

TSK, I had wondered if your great niece's Ice Skating Review was outside... sounds like maybe it was, since your parka wasn't quite warm enough? What age group does she skate with? I love ice skating and ice dance... I can't even stand up on ice skates anymore, like I could as a kid... my ankles aren't strong enough now, and that's a good thing, because I can't imagine what kinds of bumps and bruises I would have within my first 5 minutes on the ice.  ;) :D That's great you live close enough to enjoy both of your greats performances - theatre, and ice skating.  :) Enjoy your lunch with your smaller girl group today - and I hope the others will all be improving quickly.  :-*

Tig, have fun celebrating the family birthdays at lunch today!

Hi Lori! Those strawberry basil macarons you sent to Lisa are so pretty!  :)

Hi E4E!  :D



HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LISA!!! Enjoy your fun and special lunch out with Jeff!  :D

Love the cakes you got here, Lisa!  Had the piece Old Guy cut for you!  Delicious.  The cakefrom Baz is too pretty to cut and the eagle, shamrock , chocolate
Cake from Bl needs to be preserved! A real work of art!

Baz, I got one thing from another order which she caught.  One of my items evidently went to that order.  Replacements were bad!   I did get a refund for those items!   Got and paid for 2 heads of cabbage, not one.

E23 took a flight around the west pasture and back to the nest this afternoon!  He better watch that gho!   Damn them! They can find some other food!

Soring has sprung here but happy the calendar has caught up!

BAZI   Love your seasonal change pieces  ;D  " summer is hotter"  LOL   I bet that was something raising a featherless chick - Lots of time devoted to that.   Rock weather predictor  LOLOL   The ice rink is indoors but they keep it very cold.  Don't know how those skaters do it.   There are many different groupings at this park district.  She is with kids of comparable skills and age.  Her Mom tells me she will be is a different group next year.  You age out as a senior in high school.

Good Afternoon Beakers

Jeff took me out to lunch at a restaurant that we have never been before named Julep.  It was delicious.  We both got Cream of Crab & Sweet Corn soup, and shared the Southern Eggrolls.  I got the Chicken Fried Steak entree, and Jeff got the Old Bay Chicken Wings with a side of Brussels sprouts with candied pecans, bacon and goat cheese.  Here is a link to the menu.  https://www.julepannapolis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/JulepFood9-2022Web.pdf

Phyl - Thank you!

oldguy - Thanks for the video.  Thanks for the info on cherries. 

Lani - Oh my goodness, the baby bird in the first pic!  Thanks for the SWFL video and recap.  Aww, you are sweet to wait till Mike feels better.  I would do that same. 

tsk - LOL, I think that oldguy's cake was too.  ;)  I told Jeff, aww, no birthday cake.  I guess I will eat a Lil Debbie snack cake.   ::)  It was windy here today, making it cold.

KB spotted the screech owl  ---they're perfectly camouflaged ; Great study on lack of cursive writing or any handwriting. Gotta be that connection made
to the brain..."form patterns of electrical activity, which has been linked with forming memories." Thanks for sharing. The only typing  I do is in forum and on final copies of my novel---I did the story outline and various note by hand with a pencil, written  in spiral notebooks .

Bazi  it was KB who posted about the cursive penmanship in schools and such.  Won't be the first day of Spring here...

Lisa  pretty tulips this AM---sounds like a very nice lunch with an eclectic menu although I'd have to have fried green tomatoes and ketchup at least; tks for egglet update for Mother Goose  ;)

OG that's some decadent cake   ;)

Lori very pretty birthday greetings for Lisa---macaroons too.

Baz.  You asked if the weather was warming up.  It sure was…in the past tense.  Today we got to almost 16C.  It was a record of sorts.  It is the earliest that the temperature has reached 15C degrees for the first time.  It is usually April 11 on average before we see it that warm.  But Environment Canada has a treat in store for us.  Here is a screen cap of our 7 day forecast in Celsius and Fahrenheit.  It was nice while it lasted.

Tig - I know you were talking to Clynn, but love the story of your hard working Mom and how life and your meals were back then.  She sure was a dedicated Mother - bless her sweet heart.  Thank you for sharing a part of her story. :-*

Tsk - Glad you enjoyed watching your Great Niece, but too bad you were still chilled.  Maybe take a lap blanket next time! :)  No fun to be cold!  My hubby was cold the whole time we were at our Grandson's baseball game on Saturday.  The sun was out over here and he thought that the Park we were going to for the game (40 min. away) was going to be warmer than here, so he didn't take a jacket - just wore a short sleeve shirt! I took a hoodie and was glad I did!

Karen - Your Petunias and Azaleas are beautiful!!  I'm so glad E23 survived the Owl attack and stayed safe!!

Lani - Thank you and yes, our Grandson's season just began during the past week. :)     TRR;  so sweet and precious.   Thanks for posting detail of E23 - prayers that he is really okay and that he stays safe and no more attacks.

Oh Emy! Those temps for this week...soooooooooooo cold . Gosh this gal from
California's  Mojave Desert  just couldn't manage. Wishing your warmer weather, soon.

Eagles Jak and Audi have been thru worse---there was a season a few years back where
she laid 7 eggs and all had shells that were too 'soft' and broke  from the weight of incubation
from either parent. #7 's shell was solid enough. Nest watchers and chat call it ---him 'Lucky 7.  As we all just
knew it was a male . But had no life inside. 
For years the state of  California had dumped DDT in that area prior to the release of this young pair.
Two of their nests successes were Dina in 2021 and Anthony  a couple of years later ,if
memory serves.
Dina was never banded. And that literally broke my heart ---Dr. Sharpe didn't want to track her.
She was a big gal--half again the size of her mama---fearless
and powerful.  And,  above  all, our miracle eagle !!! She should have been banded
I miss her all the time---not a day goes by... That bald eagle captured my heart, forever.  I doubt I'd recognize
her now days. Be well miss Dina. Please be well.   :-* :-* :-*

Dina  7-30-2021    Sauces Bald Eagle Cam,  Channel Islands, California

Dina, she was our adventurer and would take off for days then return to hang with her parents. All of us hoped she'd
stay  near by and be a part. But made one last return to say farewell.   :'( :'( :'(

Oldguy, great band.

Lori, yummy birthday macarons for Lisa.

Baz, I'm trying to find out more about the two chicks at TRR.... I couldn't tell if its a parrot or Toucan. They rescue parrots as well. It's a cute little baby, very strong.... Mike isn't going to get a shot. He was told if he gets one now, the next time they will suggest surgery. Mike doesn't want to do that, neither did the surgeon. So, there it is  :-\ .. He leaves in the morning for Gila Bend... how special it must have been to raise a baby parrot. Love the name Sweet Pea... beautiful birthday cake for Lisa.

BL, love the eagle birthday cake for Lisa.

Lisa, Julep's menu has my mouth salivating! The crab and corn soup sounds delicious, I might have tried the Julep chili too. Oh YUM! If I was forced to eat brussel sprouts that's the way I would want them. Cover them with bacon, candied pecans, goat cheese to hide the flavor of the brussel sprouts! YUM! Great birthday lunch! I hope you had a lovely day.  :-*

Emy, brrrr cold days ahead.

SED Eagles, Tsk, Karen   :-*

Phyl, thanks for Sauces family story.  :'(

Lani, oh no about the shot for Mike! I remember when Ed had his first and second shot, the Dr told him 3 was all he would do, surgery after that. He has had a couple more after those 3, different Dr, but none have helped much and he won't have surgery either. Hence he is on the strong pain meds. Which I hate... Oh, I love Brussels Sprouts, especially roasted in the oven! Oh those fat little good night puppies!

Phyl, do you think Audi is done laying eggs for this season? Great pics in Amy's Blog, especially Mrs. North rolling her eggs... Pretty frost in the 365! Oh my, we will be much warmer than you today, that's unusual!  But we both will have sun!

E4E, the Harley/Sam/Sophie update below! I am sure you are ready for your Grandson's baseball games! It would be so nice to be able to sit outside! Spring is here!

We had more 'get together' sessions with Harley and the kittens today! Harley is getting better, the last time he left the security of the basement door close by, he walked all around the family room with Sam and Sophie checking him out. Still some hissing, but not as much. Sophie was even trying to play with his tail! I don't think it will be long until the basement door can stay open.

Lisa, hope you had a wonderful birthday! The menu looks great, I think I would choose the Southern Fish and Chips! With a side of the Brussels Sprouts! What, no desert?  Yay, six eggs for the Goose Family!

Emy, brrrr!

baz, love all the GOODBYE winter! It's Spring! I am so ready to invite the neighbors over for a Friday evening chat time on the deck! Our high today is supposed to be 63, so I think the salmon will go on the grill!

tsk, hope your get together was good, even though some are missing!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

High today 54 and sunny

EMY   A veritable heat wave.  :o    Were you below snow levels this year?

LANI     Based on what you said about Mike today and not wanting to go the route of more powerful pain meds, you may want to investigate this non invasive option.   Back when I was working we used these and they are so much more developed today.
 Mike would have nothing to lose and maybe could discuss with his doctor.  Have a PT get him started and he could then use on his own?     https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/15840-transcutaneous-electrical-nerve-stimulation-tens

Interesting story of today's economics of Girl Scout cookies....not the same as in our childhood.

Yes, I was a Brownie and a Girl Scout.....and have a friend who was a VP at Target who moved to being a top Girl Scout VP...

That is mostly all I see on my community fb page lately....it gets tiresome for me, and yes I know all the value of supporting these girls, etc..

tig - just read your post...I don't blame him or all the rest retiring earlier than they had planned.
Minneapolis cops are not supported and they are still down by 50 percent or more.  Crazy.

The thing that got me about the weather was the sudden drop in temperature from 16 (60F) at 6 pm last night to -1 (30 F) at 6 am this morning.  That’s a lot of a drop in 12 hours.  It’s hard on the system and the landscaping.  I handle 21 just fine, 20 is getting drafty and 22 makes me think of turning on the A/C.

And Tsk, no worries about where to put the snow this year.  We had a good dump of it a couple of weeks ago.  Other than that only a few skiffs of it now and then.  We are in a prolonged drought here.  Calgary is already warning of a water shortage this spring and it is not a lot better here.  Wildfire season started nearly a month early, although I would suggest it never ended with an average of 60 fires burning over the winter.  You, my friends to the south,  will be noticing as soon as the weather warms up.

clynn - Love the Spring peace wreath.  So glad to hear about the "get together" sessions.
We are definitely going go back to that restaurant at some point.  The menu had some really good dishes.

Phyl - Thanks for the 365, and RRP blog. Cute owl figurine!  I thought about getting the fried green tomatoes.   :D

Lani - The lady at two tables over had the chili, and it smelled delicious! Adorable good night pic. 

E4E - Thank you  :-*

kb I was just noticing the Spring snow forecast for MSP over the next week.   ::)

MSP is at 14.3 inches so far for this season.
The normal average for the season is 54 inches at MSP.

Looks like you'll be adding something to the 2023/2024 season, but I'm a bit skeptical about the amounts the Models are spitting out this far in advance.

TIG  Enjoy spa day  ;D  Good that your niece can make some changes to her health issues and YES, hope her hubby doesn't take much longer to retire!!

EMY   Such a balance is required of Mother Nature.   We had many of those roller coaster drops ion temps as well - 70 during the day falling to 30's at night and then back up.  Crazy year.

Royal Albatross - Ranger Sharyn posts

Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)

Top Flat chick is 56 days old and weighs 3.45 kg. This is a big drop from the massive 5 kg last week but is still up from the week prior which was 3.3kg. Top Flat chick was last fed by LGL on the 14th of March. LGK was last in on the 13th of March. A reweigh may be necessary later in the week if no further feeding is sighted here.

Top Flat Track chick is 48 days old and weighs 3.05 kg. This is down slightly from last week’s 3.2 kg but both parents have been in regularly here. Weighing at both nests was around 10.45am this morning. BOK arrived at Top Flat Track just over an hour later.

Both chicks are well into post-guard stage life now and have very thick down that keeps them warm and dry in stormy weather. Full tummies keep the chicks warm as well.

A technical note:

Our current webcam, supplied by Cornell Lab of Ornithology in 2019, the Axis P5635-E MkII PTZ, is being replaced by an Axis P5676-LE PTZ cam. This one has an inbuilt night light system so will be more streamlined that the first Axis model that became the Royalcam and is now in transit to Dunedin. We hope to have the new cam installed in a few weeks and the live stream will be off-line while the change is being made. It will be great to have the night viewing back now the days are getting shorter.

TF (Top Flat) chick on left - TFT (Top Flat Track) chick on right - both are in alert as weigh station rangers are coming.

Lisa, I watched Mother Goose last night. Hubby was with her for awhile. He was very protective. I loved how he turned to look at her and said something. It looked like he said. "I'm going now dear, but I'll be watching you." She's such a sweet thing, moving around bits and pieces of feathers/sticks tucking the eggs in.

{{{Emy}}}

Tig, {{{prayers niece and nephew}}}

Kb, {{{rescued fawn and rescuer}}} ... we had half inch of a hail storm late yesterday afternoon. 30 minutes of pea size hail storm, gave everything another good soak... Girl Scout cookies just don't taste the same anymore. We bought boxes until we moved here. It's hard to find someone selling them.

Clynn, Mike is limited on how often he can take pain killers such as aleve. He's on blood thinner med, as well as something else that limits any pain meds. He's left for Gila Bend this morning and will be back on Friday or he may drive on to Utah. There's a problem he needs to deal with asap pertaining to GB office and trucking company in Utah... awww soon Harley will be a big bro to his siblings, busy playing with them and acting like a kitten too. Sophie is ready for playtime with big bro.  :-* ... gorgeous pick of Bryce Canyon.

Phyl, Love the owl..... beautiful frosty nature video. Run and hide little rabbit.... Thank you for today's RRP update on The North family and Goose...  I watched Mother and Father Goose last night, he left after a while. It was a very windy night for Mrs. Goose. She moved around several times trying to get comfortable on her six eggs.... very interesting Live Science article.

Tsk, Mike has completed allowed PT a year ago. Insurance or medicare will not pay for any more sessions unless he has surgery. PT sessions without coverage costs $185 per session. Interesting about TENS. thanks  :-*

TFT got startled (and so did I!) when the Virgin Liner it blasted its horn while passing by.

Lani, ugh on ((Mike)) having to tough it out with his back pain. Maybe he'll book an appt with another doc for a 2nd opinion?  It was fun raising Sweet Pea from a little chick - handfeeding her formula, and then teaching her to eat solid food eventully, learning to perch, flap, and eventually fly... all the milestones baby birds go through from hatch to adult. She was a Quaker Parrot, also called a Monk Parakeet or Monk Parrot - the same kind Oldguy and a few others were mentioning a couple of days ago in The Beak. Sweet Pea was domestically bred in the USA, as were her parents, but there are some feral colonies in the USA, who are offspring originally from escapes. Not all of those feral colonies have survived. I remember seeing them in pairs in the tall Palm Trees along the edge of the beach in Ft. Lauderdale, back around 2003 0r 2004, when I was vacationing there during Spring Training days for the Baltimore Orioles baseball team. They were so cute way up in the trees, just chattering away and watching the world, the ocean, the sands, and the beach life, go by. Sweet Pea lived till May, 2015, and she was 22 years old, having hatched on Feb. 10, 1993. I started taking care of her when she was only 2 weeks old, and she came home with me fulltime just a few weeks after that, when she was maybe only 5 weeks old. I still miss her, and whistling the theme to The Andy Griffith Show with her, LOL - it was her favorite song, and I would play it for her often because it made her so happy!!  :D  :-* :-* :-*

Thursday snow total predictions, 2.5 inches.....tolerable.

Sunday: 8.8 in just a 24 hour period....followed by 3 plus inches day after and more after that.

Don't know how 8.8 inches is even possible in 24 hours?..oh I suppose. ;)

kb I was just noticing the Spring snow forecast for MSP over the next week.   ::)

MSP is at 14.3 inches so far for this season.
The normal average for the season is 54 inches at MSP.

Looks like you'll be adding something to the 2023/2024 season, but I'm a bit skeptical about the amounts the Models are spitting out this far in advance.

Good thing you got your lawn mowers all revved up and ready to go ay'.   ;)

LOL, laughed out loud for sure!
Joke is on me!.
Still trying to think about where to store my snowblower and lawn mower before it hits....
Mower in garage ,single car garage and big SUV, and snowblower now on side of house...
Never before have fit both in the garage at the same time.

Somehow on Friday I'll figure it out.

Lani - both Chris and Scott have had and used tens units for years and years....very helpful in the short term.

Clynn, it sounds like Harley is getting more curious and comfortable being near Sam and Sophie!  :) :-* :-*  LOL on Parallelogram Season!!  ;D

TSK, I can understand the indoor skating rink being kept pretty chilly. How was lunch with The Girls?

Lani, thanks for the Royal Albie report. I bet the new cam will be nice to have, especially with night viewing abilities. It's nice to know that the TF and TFT chicks will get supplemental feedings from the rangers if they need it.  :-* :-* I wish the ships wouldn't blare their horns near the nesting areas, unless they really need to for safety reasons.

Phyl, I often read a lot of posts before I reply, so I don't always remember exactly who 1st mentioned a topic that several people have commented on. Sorry I mis-remembered that is wasn't you who mentioned the handwriting. That's too bad about your azaleas.

Lisa, that sounds like a yummy lunch you and Jeff had yesterday! Lots of good things on the menu - and with interesting tasty twists. Mmm!  :)

Karen, glad your grocery order was only slightly amiss. Maybe you could give your extra cabbage to a neighbor. Glad you and Piper have been able to enjoy some porch time.  :)

Tig, enjoy Spa Day!  :)

KB, maybe they will be wrong on the total snow forecast for your area... it sounds like the forecast models are not in agreement. Fingers crossed.

BL. I sounds like some of the weather forecasters aren't completely sold on the total snow forecast for the MSP area either.

Puff, are things going better with your new computer/software yet?

Emyr, brrr!! Yes, that's a big swing in your temps! There have been some big swings here, also, but not as cold, of course, as where you are!  :)



Pretty blue skies here today! Also much chillier temps and a north wind - as so many are experienceing... then it will be much warmer again tomorrow.  Up and down, then up and down.  :D


Later gators!  :D

NCAA Tournament, brackets, game schedules, and their TV channels and times, as known at the time, and it will update as the tournament progresses:

Lani - Aww, TFT getting startled by the cruise horn.  ((Mike)) I have a TENS machine, and it has worked wonders on my neck.  I think I might have told the story when Jeff first turned it on, he turned it up real high, and shocked the you know what out of my neck.   ::)

Jim  is ill---again for the umpteenth time.   ::)   >:(     He sounds like a train wreck when he coughs.  I have him home  masked and in bed --- sleeping at a 30degree angle. Lots of tea and chicken soup.  And, yes he's  forbidden to be in contact with Maggie--Feel like  I ought to be  wearing a string of garlic bulbs around my neck.  LOL 
He'll be seeing his PCP tomorrow afternoon.
The yard and landscaping are bit of a  mess.  Reluctantly  I'll have to hire out some work . Our yard/garden aren't level---
with my BPPV there's  just no way I can mow or much else with that steep slop to the willow and ribbon elms.  Not gonna work the front either as my right knee
is acting up. So chilly and windy here.


CLynn   awesome photo Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

KB what a sweet video. Love it. Tks. Also enjoyed the Girl Scout cookies  v ideo; let's hope no more snow

Tig very understandable about your NIL retiring from the  police department; prayers for your niece; dinner 'birthday clubs' are fun

Emy more wildfires for Canada  :'( :'(  the loss of wildlife alone  ...such a delicate balance

EAGLES   Liked your first day of Spring.

LANI   Funny - " night viewing now that our days are getting shorter"   ;) ;)   That's true evidence they are on the other side of the world.   Boy that is one huge cruise ship.   Wish they'd get the word about maybe not sounding the horn in that area.

BAZI   " I wet my plants"  LOLOL  Thanks for that photo and the history of Sweet Pea.  I can see that is your niece as a child similar to adult pics we've seen.  Lunch with girls always fun no matter how many can make it.  We already planned the next one for when Barb is back from Florida and before Jean leaves on an Alaskan cruise with her dtr. in mid May.  Jean lost her husband last June so coming up on a year for her.  We will probably bring lunch to Maureen's house who just broke her tibia and had surgery.   Good song to close out my day. ;)
I did print off a good bracket page but I like yours as it has the times.  Thanks

TIG   Cool that place has a Birthday club.  Don't know many restaurants that do around here.

PHYL   ( Hugs to Jim)  You are a good nurse - the lawn will wait.  Awww goodnight squirrel.

Descending into the 7 teacups canyon. 

Swimming & Jumping very yes.

Bringing all of your climbing, rappelling, hiking and canyoneering knowledge to stay safe on Dry Meadow Creek is paramount.

Tig - Glad dinner was good and hopefully fun with everybody!  Spa day! ;D

Emy - You would like AC at 22 deg?!!   When I got up this morning, our temp inside our house was 66, so i didn't turn on the heater.  I would definitely have the heater on where you are!!

LisaG - Read what you said about the lady in Home Goods coughing . . . . my hubby has the same similar reaction!

Lani - Thank you for Royal Albatross info.  Nice that they will be improving on their cams and getting a night cam!

Tig - Yum! steak!  Hope Camper got all on the shopping list!

Phyl, good 365...  Oh no, Jim! Do you think he is catching germs at work?  I know, it stings when we have to hire someone to do things for us. When Ed or I couldn't mow, and Kay & Kelsey took it over it was good. But then Kay became unable to do it, that is when we bought a riding mower. Ed is able to mow with the rider, at least for a few more years.

Lani, another good Royal Alby update, such sweet birds! OMG, that cruise ship! Huge! I am going to have Ed ask his Dr. about a tens unit. His sister Gina has had one for years, she swears by it. I pray that one will work for Mike. Love the picture of Mother and Father Goose on N1!

E4E, Harley did good again today! he is becoming more and more used to the kittens, Sophie was playing with his tail and he didn't mind! He ventured way farther out into the family room yesterday, away from the 'safety' if the door to the basement!

BL, love your words on the teacups, they do look treacherous! The last pic really shows how they look up close! My sister Becky and her partner are avid hikers, kayakers, etc. Anything outdoors. They hiked around Montblanc a few years ago, I believe it was the 11-day hike they took, all around the mountain.  They did a hike in Alaska that they had to train for and certify that they met the requirements required to do the hike. I can't remember the name of where the hike was, I think something to do with the Gold Rush. And thanks for the Peace Train, I saved it so I can listen again and again. Love Cat Stevens!

tsk, I think it is so cool that you have frequent get togethers with your girlfriends! I love getting together with Linda, Sally and Patty in July every year! The three of them get together more often, I am the one that lives kind of out of range! And I didn't grow up with them, just freshman and senior year in high school. But they took me in when we moved to Albion, and I love them all!

baz, wonderful story of Sweet Pea... I can see your GN in the picture of the kids! I remember contests at work where people brought in young pictures of themselves and everyone tried to guess who it was. I was never any good at it, unless it was obvious! How is Spring coming to the Bog? Lots of activity?

Lisa, wonder if Pepe will be checking out your place this year! Any activity on the trail cam?

Morning all..

Have prep for storms on my to do list today...mostly food shopping.

and Ollie ears..LOL (related to twitter post yesterday)

My city is requesting photos of different categories..small little contest for fun and shits and giggles is all.
I have thought about sending one of my eagles on the water tower pictures. Hmm, those pics don't show the name of my city on them as it's too low on the tower. So, may not send a few. The name isn't required. We shall see.

clynn - Love the pic of Sophie & Harley on floor.  It sure seems like he is getting use to the kitties.  Yep, lots of activity on trail cam still, plus more cats coming for food.  I told Jeff, he will never move from here, cause he will be worried no one will feed these critters.

 MY  housekeeper just brought me a Culver's butter burger!  Pretty good but a lot to eat!   Pretty full and Piper liked it!  She thought it was better than a frozen dinner!   

Interesting that I always thought .spring started in March21st!    Have to google this!

E 23 is stilled being stalked by the darn owl !  Sorry, they are interesting birds and some are very attractive but their predatory behavior against other avian creatures is disturbing!  I blame them for Harriets disappearance!   They also pick on the young!   I wish the nest would be  removed.

Have to start set one of 3.   Bbl.  Hope Jim is better!

tsk - yes a small gift card and a reproduction of photos on places in my city...
I did send one of my thousands of pics of the two of them (Mr. and Mrs. Tower). Contest closes May 1..
I don't care about the gift card, nor the reproduction of course.
Just wanting to call attention to our eagles.

My sis sent me a video and a pic of a pair of adult eagles up by her house this morning while walking Max. She knows the nest about a mile away. We commiserated on why both would be above her on her walk with Max when eggs are being incubated this time of year and it's darn cold today!....of course, we don't know and they can't drive close to the nest as it's 3 blocks in from the road in a farmer's field.

Lani - well now there are some ears!.

Emy - You would like AC at 22 deg?!!   When I got up this morning, our temp inside our house was 66, so i didn't turn on the heater.  I would definitely have the heater on where you are!!

E4E: that was 22C which is about 72 American.   I was only making the point that with my old age came a very low range of tolerance for variation in temperature.  Plus or minus one degree on either side of 21 and I feel it.  And you can bet your boots the furnace is on here this week and likely several more weeks after this.

Good Evening Beakers

It appears that this round of lava in Iceland is going to keep going for awhile.  There is still uplift occurring to the west of the volcano trench.  Speculation is that the deep reservoir of magma is feeding directly from the deep to the upper reservoir and then to the trench.  Lava flow is slower than the start, but may last weeks.

Lani, I hope Mike can get a tens unit and find some relief... Lots of baby sloths, Elmo looks like a little butterball! Hope the TRR is able to help them. Great good night pic of Mother and Ever Diligent Father Goose!  Lynn got a beautiful shot of the eagle in flight!

Phyl, wow on having your name on the commemorative plate that will be sent to Europa!

baz, love the good night words, hope you rested well...

E4E, yes, Harley and the 'kids' are slowly blending. Sophie is really interested in Harley, she gets right up in his face before he even has a chance to hiss! She has even managed to sniff his butt, a very common cat greeting.  ;D  Sam is more cautious!

Lisa, I am glad Jeff feeds the hungry critters. Tuesday there was a calico cat out front next to the street, and when I left to get my tires I saw her go down the storm drain, so I am guessing she is a feral. I have seen them go down the storm drain before. There is probably a colony down there...

tsk, we just had one of those picture guessing contests a couple of years before I retired, so it's still going on! Yes, we are making progress on the cat assimilation!

SF Bay Ospreys - Rosie and Richmond have been spending most of their day on distant light poles, but we caught Rosie as she was departing from a short visit to the rail by the old nest.  They haven’t picked a spot for their nest yet. Once they’re ready it will be surprising how quickly they can build a nest. (If you remember, their nest was destroyed in a storm last year)

Catch the Full Worm Moon - and the Paschal Full Moon!

Worm Moon reaches its peak in the morning hours of Monday, March 25. Look for it to rise after sunset on both Sunday and Monday!

This first full moon of the spring season will appear on the nights of Sunday, March 24, and Monday, March 25. Specifically, March’s full Worm Moon reaches peak illumination at 3:00 A.M. ET on Monday, March 25, 2024.

Of course, you don’t have to wait until the middle of the night to see the Moon! Look for the spectacularly bright Moon as it rises above the horizon on Sunday evening. If your weather is poor on Sunday night, try again on Monday!

I truly regret missing your birthday Lisa.  Hope it met with some fun moments.  Cherish all the pleasant memories.  And now, let me be better about tig.  Happy Birthday Day to you.  Does that mean that Lisa is a day older???  Oh, fudge on the statistics - just ENJOY! my friends.

Still  :-\  re computer issues.  I won't dwell, I'll try not to anyway.  Y'all know and understand the ordeal.  Maybe there is a personal consultant for me among us who has mastered Micro11?

Back to today - Have a workman coming to do some jobs.  Been holding off waiting for better weather and free time on his end.  List of 6 to-do's; he can prioritize and decide some harder rest easier.  I have only 1/2 day with him because I have a meeting/presentation/dinner later (going Spain tonight).

Back to today, he'll be here shortly.  Time to gulp my tea and finish off my slice of my Irish soda bread.

Have a Happy Bird Day, tig

Almost done preparing for anticipated snow. Tonight I can handle, 1-3 inches.
But I contacted Andrew to let him know I'll for sure need him after Sunday storm finishes at over a foot!
He has many seasonal contracts to finish before he gets to me, so I'm prepared food and such wise to wait awhile.

So, I decided to leave my snowblower out along side my garage and covered it with tarp...Same with my patio chairs on my front steps. It's a tight fit with snowblower and garbage cans. After a foot I might have to wait quite awhile to use them!. All 5 leaf cans, 1 recycle, 1 garbage (large 84 gallons) plus snowblower are on steps..logistically a nightmare without the snow.. er hum a foot of snow.

No sense maneuvering stuff around at this point. I won't be able to snowblow that much snow myself. A plow will have to do it.

Lani - Love your morning pic!  I know, I felt so bad for N2BMG when her egg rolled off the nest. 

tsk - Yes!  Both nests have goose eggs in them now.  The MG on N2B laid one the other day, but she looked like she could be a first time mom, and not known what to expect when that egg came out.  She spun around and the egg landed on the outer part of nest.  She tried to roll it back up, but it got loose and rolled off nest.  :'(

Lani & tsk - Thanks for kind words on Sydney  :-*

kb - Be safe!  I am guessing your weather person is not like ours.  She gets you all hyped up, and nothing happens.

baz - Good luck to your Tarheels!

Phyl - Nice temp for you today at 67!  Our high was 70 - so we were similar!

Karen - Nice warm temps for you!  Good for you in how you do your exercising!  Hope your Vertigo would leave you alone!  Seriously, wish you can feel less dizzy and and that the Vertigo subsides. {{Karen}}

Baz, Tarheels pulled off a win but better neaten up before their next game!  Lol.  Just a tad sloppy!
Soma y Big Ten teams in the playoffs!   Or is it now the  Big 12 soon to be?

Clynn, good news on the kitties!   Cook the salmon?
Lisa, cute picture of Sydney.  Is her hair that light?
Phyl, worried about Jim!
My visit to the ent was good!  Told him I got almost no reaction going to the right, the sitting up in  between the right and left   Movements   Produced a slight bit of dizziness, at times.   Whike putting my  head down to the left caused a  reaction like a carnival ride st first it was now very mild and lasted about 5 seconds.   Told him that while  the exercise was better I was still suffering vertigo around the house!  Reminded him I was not thru the  14 day course .  He said the might make a difference but did a few tests  and then the. Eply!   He said do nothing for two days!  If the vertigo returns , start over!   Said my case has been very hard to treat.   Feel better tonight so we will see!   Enough about this!

Karen - The Big 10 Conference is currently 14 schools, and starting this fall UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington will be added to make it 18 schools.
The Big Ten only has 6 teams in the NCAA Tourney and 3 in the NIT Tourney.  There has been as many as 8 in the NCAA Tourney some years.
I expect all 6 to win their first game, but only 3 to win the second game....

Lisa, I love the picture of Sydney, looks like her hair is getting lighter! She is such a cutie pie, love those beautiful eyes. She looks like a sweet, cuddly baby!  Our weather people tend to hype it up here too! Looks like we may get an inch of snow, but it won't last long. It's 37 right now, high 43. The temp dips to 34 around 8:00 so it can snow, then right back up!  Enough about the snow! This too shall pass...

Lori, wonderful goodies for tig's birthday! The lemon cakes look delicious!

tsk, I didn't realize there were geese in N2B either, or even that they had a cam on it!

Good Morning Everyone....

Currently: 53F cloudy   High  70F light rain showers,  Low 49F

Firstly thanks for the interesting post/conversation/snaps  from, yesterday

Secondly,
What had me concerned was the 'Visit Summary' which listed the possible diagnosis from the tests that were
performed on his Blood tests.
The results, according to Jim's conversation w/ doctor's office are as follows:
Chronic Stage 3a kidney disease; COPD, Congestive Heart Failure and Fatigue. Some adjustments have been made to his  medical regime. With
appointments with a Pulmonologist and Nephrologist when their offices call us to set up.
Regarding CKD, Jim has none of the  more common symptoms save for lethargy .  My little Maggie with her stage 2a CKD has been an early education
in  this disorder at the very least.


Prayers for:Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

I'm another user of Wunderground here KB.  Like the "local" flavor.  Very easy to get pertinent weather reports for 3 areas of Chicago (ORD, MDW, Loop) but not too many reporting stations in Darien.  (Where, what is a Darien?)  Wunderground does have one here, even more among others in the county.  My very local station is at the firestation about 1 mile from me.  That makes for very reliable numbers for those living out here.  Wouldn't be as reliable for for TSK.  She's close to the O'Hare stats though.

A recent pic I got of Sydney wishing me a Happy Birthday.  I forgot to post it the other day.  Bad grandma...  ::)

I don't do the comparison thing that often if at all  Lisa  BUT. . .

I don't think I'm stretching things by saying " Syndey looks a whole lot like her grandmother."

Family and friends always told me I looked like my paternal grandmother.  I did - Grandma only lived into her late 50's unfortunately.  But as a youngster there was a good transfer of some of the DNA that was clear.  Genes can travel.

Light dusting of snow on the grass 31 degrees  Now snowing pretty hard - Will be on and off this AM 

KAREN  Sounds like you have a very good and concerned doctor.  At least you have a 2 day break before starting over.  ;)  How close is your house finch nest??

OLDGUY   Thanks for that explanation on the Big Ten. 

LANI  Northwestern and Marquette play today... :o  One step closer for Jayhawks.. :)

CLYNN   Love that chair with the plants.  I too discovered the cams are labeled Decorah nest and Goose cam   Great pic at SWFL
LOL  " casual Friday" 

KB   " Caruso" on the piano.

PHYL   Prayers that Jim can feel more comfortable as the doc appts continue.  He's such a hard worker and will get through this episode  (((( JIM))))   Soon some action at Decorah north  ;D   Liked the piece on Vitamins 

PUFF   I tend to agree on who Sydney looks like  ;)

Karen - The Big 10 Conference is currently 14 schools, and starting this fall UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington will be added to make it 18 schools.
The Big Ten only has 6 teams in the NCAA Tourney and 3 in the NIT Tourney.  There has been as many as 8 in the NCAA Tourney some years.
I expect all 6 to win their first game, but only 3 to win the second game....

Big ten has been growing and only seems to be not done.  I had fun trying to explain the Big Ten logo to Tony .  Not being a sport afficianado;  he just didn't/couldn't even see the two colors between B and 10 (which was really 12?).  It'll be interesting to see what the next options will be.

I/We have three local schools in the area to cheer on and hope they win:  Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern.  Keeps me busy.  No other ladies in the group know what a football is.  But, they do know what Taylor Swift wore.  It's good there's something for everyone.  LOL

Lani - Wow, that is some snow in Decorah this morning! Great pics from the nests.

clynn - Thanks  :-*  Did you get as much snow as Decorah?  They look like they got a couple inches, maybe?  Love the SWFL pic.

Good Morning!  A rainy Friday here!   Good thing about spring snows is a fast melt!   No stress!  Also a good help  for drought if it doesn’t cause flooding!

Old Guy, thanks for the additions to the Big Ten!   Puff, I am with you on the three teams but will add Marquette to my list as it is close to Chicago!   Northwestern  plays  a little after noon, et , today!
Tsk, the finch nest is very close, on the  underside of tge roof over my littlefront porch and visible from the  windows around my front door!   This is the same nest that was there last year!  I did nit take it down as they tried to nest there for many years and the nesting material always blew down!  Last year was the first time they were successful so I left it!  They will have at least 2  broods.  They often perch on the ledge of tge windows over the door and look in the house at me and Piper.  Lol  our own personal 365!
Lisa,  a little mini me!   Lolol!
While my father, who was not a cat lover, was serving in the army (ww11)  my mother and I had a cat!   One night she was awakened to the sound of the piano being played and after checking to see that I was asleep, in bed, she  flew downstairs to see the kitty walking up and down the piano keyboard!  The keys were covered at night after that!
A coworker  in Springfield had a small menagerie of sorts and had at least on parrot and a cat.  The parrot loved to make the cat crazy by calling here kitty, kitty off and on all day!
E 23 having a flapping goid time this morning in the rain!  Thanks for Sues picture!

Karen - FYI, Spring snows in the north, if heavy, are a LOT of stress! We had three 3" snow falls in 3 days a few years ago, in April. Sure, it melted some in the daytime, but it froze overnight... which caused ice dams and thousands of dollars in damage. I just made an appt. for our roof company to come next Wednesday and remove snow. It will be a minimum of $350. But that is our return customer rate which is good for about 4 inches and 1 hour of service. More inches over that means more time and more $$$. And some forecasts are predicting 6 to 12 inches here on Sunday.

Not complaining, just explaining reality.

Sorryfor your troubles and expense Tig! Had 10 inches of tge heavy stuff fall in Chicago one April and did not have that issue!  Never had  my roof cleaned off or anything, nor did my neighbors or my Wisconsin  relatives!

A massive column of sulfur dioxide that was pumped out by the erupting volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula is currently traveling across northern Europe. Scientists are concerned it could impact the ozone layer.

Indeed tig....I lost half of my arborvitae last year. I would NOT have bought this house without them. They block the parking lot across the street. Now, not so much.
Monday's snow will contain a lot of moisture and if a foot falls I anticipate I'll lose more.

and, sometimes you can't even move it (the snow). I have ordered a plow but may not be till Monday he comes.
and then there is the potential for power outages.

In the upper midwest the weather peeps say it's only a 12:1 ration of water to snow...Depends on the snow type and if the ground can absorb any if at all before it evaporates.
Luckily we are dry but not in a drought due to Dec and Jan rains...

Winter in Minnesota can only be appreciated by Minnesotans I think...life long learners allow us to see it all and adapt.

What a morning! Sadie and I left for our walk at 6:15. I noticed she kept having to stop often for potty breaks.
She didn't want to go home, we walked till 8. I called the vet for an appt. to see if she had a bladder infection.
Went to the vet at 8:30, returned 9:45 and yes, she has a bladder infection. She's on anti-biotics, had her breakfast, sleeping
on the second floor patio, along with Milo and Norman. They're enjoying mid-morning sun naps.  :-* And I'm
finally sitting and enjoying my first cup of coffee and breakfast. It's almost time for lunch. LOL! I'm exhausted and

Hello Beakers

Last night the forecast was <1 inch of snow - this morning at 8am the forecast was for 2.5 inches of snow.  Snow started at 9am and ended at 11 am with about 3 inches on the ground.  For about 15 min. the snow flakes were huge.  Temp is now 36 and the paved areas have melted and most of the cars were clear.  Our next storm will be all rain on Mon with a high of 60.
We got our new headboard delivered about 10 min. after the snow stopped.  We also got word that the new range will be here Wed.  ;D

Hi Beakers! Happy Friday!  :)


Pretty busy 'round here, but all is good. Northwestern beat a team I was rooting for, in OT today - FAU (Florida Atlantic). I know our Beakers in the Illinois area pull for Northwestern, of course. But my very close, 1st cousin, who I grew up with - our moms were sisters - and who is only 2 weeks older than I am, went to school at FAU on a tennis scholarship, so I pull for them. You see, tennis ran in my fmaily.  ;)  Last year, FAU was the Cinderella team in the NCAA Tourney, and made it all the way to the Final Four. I didn't think they would get that far this year, but they had a good run and a good season overall. They almost won it today. That was an amazing buzzer beater basket by Northwestern to take it to OT. FAU couldn't get the ball to go through the basket in OT it seemed, and it didn't help that several calls were errors by the refs, which happens in many games, of course, but it did help Northwestern, though I think they would have won anyway - they were playing better than FAU in OT, so good for them. I see Marquette, won, also, today, TSK. Lani, your Jayhawks like to test the heart health of their fans!  ;) I watched that nail-biter last night. Congrats to KU for getting that win!  :) I know Mike must've been beside himself till the final buzzer sounded!  ;) ;D  My Tarheels play their next round game tomorrow. I will watch a couple of games tonight - notably the Duke game. They're my team's arch-rival. I am wearing my "Beat Duke" button, so you know where I stand on that!  ;D ;D


Lani, (((Sadie))) I'm glad you could get her in this morning, so you didn't have to do the weekend vet thing, or wait till Monday! I bet she is well fast, since you caught it and started treatment early in the onset of her infection. I hope ((Mike)) is home soon, and hope his travel hasn't worsened his condition. I hope you all relax this weekend, and enjoy the basketball, and just treat yourselves to some extra comfort and rest if you can..  :-* :-*

Phyl, (((JIM))).

((Karen)), it sounds like you had a good visit with your ENT, and I hope his prescription for your exercises and rest schedule will mean you continue to see improvement. Keep up the good work!  :)  You certainly are familiar with winters in the snowy north, having lived there. We know every place is different. There's extra work to do with winter cold and precip, for sure. And it's harder on people as they get older, to deal with all things required to take care of home and yard, which is why so many people move and/or downsize as they get older, as I have done. Awww, your very own Live Finch Nest watch! Fun!  :D  :-*  Does Piper pay attention to the Finch looking in the window?  :D

Tig, was your authentic Mexican birthday lunch good? What did y'all get to eat there? I love a really good authentic Mexican place - my fav one is near my sister's home. There are a couple of good ones where I live, but they are a bit pricey.

Lisa, yes, I'm getting the deluge and the wind - some today and more tonight and tomorrow - expect 2-3 inches of rain, and I have already brought in the things outside that can blow around. I don't expect any big issues where I live though, unless the wind topples trees in soggy soil and cause a power outage. Fingers crossed for you and me, and all, for that. But I think it's going to be more for you than me. My sister is driving to Alexandria tomorrow, and I am a little concerned, since the weather folks have already advised of the big wind and flash flooding that is expected along her route on I-95. I will be glad when I hear she has arrived at her daughter's home there. I know it will make for a longer and more tiring travel for her. Fingers crossed it won't be as bad as forecasted. You and Jeff stay safe.  I know you won't be crossing that bridge tomorrow!!  :o  I love that close-up picture of your pretty, smiling Sydney!! What a sweetheart!  :-* Love her pretty hair color, which looks a little more auburn in that picture and light.  :) :-* :-*

Clynn, it sounds like all is going well with Harley, Sam, and Sophie, the butt-sniffer.   ;D ;D ;) :-* :-* :-* 8) I got glasses when I was in elementary school, too. Like Bella, I was nearsighted and needed a little help to see the blackboard clearly from a distance. At that age, we thought it was something special. LOL! I was really borderline in needing them. I can't wait to see what kind of frames Bella picks out! I know she will be fashion forward with them!!   ;) :D :-* :-*

Oldguy, glad you didn't get too much snow causing big issues in your area, at least so far. Hope the overnight re-freeze doesn't cause you to slip'n'slide! A new range!! Oh boy!! Did yours quit, or are you just enjoying a new model? I bet you have something yummy planned to cook in it to break it in!  Good luck with cards tomorrow night! You've been on a roll!!  :D

E4E, do you and Kris have anything special planned for this weekend? It seems like y'all always have something fun on tap.  :)


Take care, All, and have a good weekend!! Fingers crossed for all in the path of wind, rain, or the big snow!! Stay safe and warm!!  :)

Og - You are really up on the games and a great source of info!

Lani - Thank you for nest cam pics!   Is Mike back home for the weekend?    Good for you in taking Sadie to the Vet right away this morning after your walk! Glad that she will be fine!!  Hope you got some rest & relaxation this afternoon. {{Lani}}

Clynn - Love the beautiful cam shot at the SWFL nest!!!! ;D

Kb - Oh my gosh - it was the dog creating the noise!!!Lol!! ;D ;D

Phyl - Wishing all the best for your Jim.  {{{Phyl & Jim}}}

Puff - Good for you in looking like your paternal Grandmother!  I also look like my paternal Grandmother!  It's all in the genes! ;) :)

Tig - I take those vitamins and a few others! ;)   How is the snow now?  Okay, just read you are having someone come next week for roof snow removal! 'Thumbs up'!!

LisaG - I too, remember how Sydney's hair was dark and it has lightened up!

Kb - You are a healthy girl!!  I believe in vitamins! ;D

Karen - Wow! I bet your Mom was startled by the sound of the piano way back when, but what a relief that it was your family kitty!!  Thanks for the story!! ;D

Tsk - Good stuff on Nat Geo!

Og - Thank you so much for all links & info! :)

Baz - We did have plans to go to San Juan Bautista for a big crafts faire tomorrow (Sat) and my sister was going to go with us, but the weather forecast is for rain, so we may not go.  We will see tomorrow morning!   Hope you have a nice weekend too!! ;D

Beakers have a safe & warm night.

E4E, maybe the weather will turn out better so you can go to the crafts fair. If not, I hope y'all find some other weekend fun to enjoy.

TSK, thanks! The Dook game had the wrong outcome tonight,  ;) but there is another opportunity soon.  ;D My Tarheels play their next round game tomorrow afternoon against Mich. State. Oh, the fact that Northwestern got it to OT was a good effort on their part.  ;) ;D  FAU was seeded 8, and Northwestern was seeded 9 in the tourney, so technically, it was an upset win by Northwestern, who was trailing by 2 points with 10 seconds left in regulation play, and then they made that basket to force Overtime. Then Northwestern took off in OT play, and won it by a good margin. For their efforts, they face the overall Number 1 seed, UCONN in their next game. Yikes!  I hope your streets were clear by tonight, though it looks like maybe some light snow in the Chicago area tonight, and cold rain, too, then still cold tomorrow. Brr! Sounds like it might be a good day for hot chocolate, or some nice hot tea. Yay for PIP at the Decorah North nest! Talons crossed!  :) :-*

BL, thanks for the Tom Petty tune!

Karen, thanks for the news about the hatch starting in the Decorah North nest.


Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Tsk, very sad about Princess Catherine's cancer treatment. She looks even thinner.... This is Sadie's first time bout of bladder infection. Knowing her so well, her morning reactions to things made me be watchful. And since it's Friday and all Payson vets close their office on weekends. I called as soon as I returned home. If a dog needs emergency care on the weekends you have to go to Mesa's 24 hour emergency vet care in the valley. That is the closest weekend vet.

Karen, wonderful news about Decorah North. Thanks.

Oldguy, thanks for links... love Walter and Santi video. I'll watch Iceland update now.

Great basketball games.

Lisa, take care for all inside and out.  :-*

Baz, Mike returned home last night, in time for the game. The last 2 secs of the game was terrible.  :o .. take care from the storms.

BL, thanks for music tonight!

Eagles, I hope you can make your trip to the crafts fair. We're expecting rain on Sunday.

Good night!

Good Morning Everyone.... It's Caturday !

Currently: 46F  partly cloudy,  High  58F  mostly sunny,  Low 37F

Tsk we were watching Sean Hannity on FNC yesterday evening and he reported about Kate Middleton/ cancer. He aired her video announcement to the
British people ---it was what she 'didn't' say that struck me. So sad and very tough with the children and duties of the Monarchy.

Lani  {{{Sadie}}}  :-*

OG  tks for Walter's video;  always Q-Kids

Eagles thank you so much for including me in your good wishes/hugs for Jim. I need them too.   

BL  thanks for the tunes; I posted the Nat Geo link to their article on the   their photographer and daring/risky things thyme did to get that ' shot'.
It reminded me of you and all they things you've done.

Karen  thanks for all the info on  N 1.

Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock, Princess Kate . All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

Couple of amazing upsets last night!

EAGLES  Art fairs are the highlight of summers here.  I try not to miss them.  ;)

BAZI  I did catch the Northwestern game - They were on steroids in OYT LOLOL   Your game follows Kansas this afternoon  ;D ;D
What ever snow covered the grasses yesterday is all gone today.   Wind chill is 19 right now.  We warm to 36 and it will be mostly sunny.

LANI    I know - just pray your pet doesn't have an emergency on the weekend.  Our vet is 5 min away - emergency vet about 45 min.   More cute noses last night  ;D

PHYL   A chillin' white kitty.   Thanks for all the links.   ": whim away"  LOL

Phyl, just a whim away, and now it's stuck! :o  Good 365, love the butt wiggles! Today we will have DN17! I also saw Kate's video, on Chris Hayes show on MSNBC, and she did look a bit sad, but we usually see her at her best, all dressed up and maybe this is what she really is. A normal person. She looked fine walking from the grocery store after her statement, there was a spring in her step. I wish they would say what kind of cancer, that makes a big difference. Ed was off work for 3 months when he had colon cancer and he is fine now, but some kinds of cancer don't have a good outlook...  I am always praying for you and Jim together, what effects one effects the other...

Sam and Sophie wanted the same space...
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/44/39/bc/4439bc3be2f410508ea98610a95b51a1.jpg)

Lani, I am so glad you noticed something amiss with Sadie and got her to the vet right away! Having to take her on a trip to Mesa would have scared her so much! You are a good furkid Mom! I hope both you and Mike and Sadie had a restful night...

Erin's stopped by last night, Erin had so set up Kelsey's new iPad. (Did I tell you that last week she tried to plug the wrong charger into it and then it wouldn't charge? Well, the Apple store ordered her a new one. That's what they get when they change the charger tip that they have had since the beginning!) Bells'a glasses came in!

E4E, did you make it to the Craft Fair? I miss going to those, that was the fun thing that Kay and I did years ago before her hip got worse. And before I got the arthritis in my hips. There was an annual one that was our favorite, we always had lunch at Red Lobster before we went and spent the rest of the day browsing. Good memories.

tsk, Bella has another pair of glasses coming, all I could get out of her was that they had sparkles on them! I think she is also borderline on the vision, Erin was testing her with finger counting and she did well without the glasses. I can tell, they are always going to be grimy, like Kelseys, shehas her fingers on the glass constantly!  ;D

oldguy, we just got a heavy dusting of snow yesterday, nothing measurable. It was gone  early! Thanks for the news you keep us up on!

It's the Annual Chicken Barbeque in Bone Gap, Il today! 10 miles from Albion, where Mom lives and where Aunt June lives!

this bridge I grew up on and still exists after being built in the early 1900's...I lived a few houses north of it on Overlook Dr. in Bloomington. It sits on the hill going down to Nine Mile Creek which empties into the Minnesota River....My old stomping grounds was the forests surrounding the Creek and River.

(https://scontent.ffcm1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.18169-9/23376445_10212350512571876_5569107345950129408_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=B1wk2jTTj8IAX_QBVAd&_nc_ht=scontent.ffcm1-2.fna&oh=00_AfCd4cmV-00QtQF7zBAXbgVXs48t3Y_vGZSfWqWJMTwxLg&oe=66266676)

this is the accompanying Waleswood Estates...overlooking the Minnesota River. Stables, clubhouse, watch tower...All torn down before the subdivision of homes were built in the 1957-1960 era..
Marv Anderson bought the property and developed it all. He built his own beautiful "mansion" overlooking the bluffs and shot off the most fabulous fireworks on the fourth of July.
Course all we kids needed to do was go sit outside on the front steps.

Still visit the area, woods, and creek. Not so much since the Pandemic but will have to do so soon. Lots of bald eagles and wildlife as well.

I just love this bridge, it does nothing now and no one knows for sure if it had a function!

Cornell Lab bird cams Red Tail Hawks Cornell University Ithaca, NY home of Big Red & Arthur

3Eggs!!!
(https://i.gyazo.com/99fc9a8f35f39a2094440d5d8cdeb1a3.gif)

Third Egg Revealed During a Snowy Morning At the Cornell Red-tailed Hawks! March 23, 2024 https://youtu.be/FK9fL_alp18?feature=shared VIA CORNELL LAB BIRD CAMS
A winter weather advisory was no match for the methodical breeding approach of Big Red and Arthur! A third egg was laid by Big Red under cover of darkness, and we got a great daylight look at the triple clutch as Arthur stood to shake off a coating of snow, rolling the eggs gently before settling back in with a patience that is enviable. Congratulations!

Watch live at allaboutbirds.org/cornellhawks

A Red-tailed Hawk pair has been nesting above Cornell University’s athletic fields since 2012. They have made use of two different light towers for their nest sites. In 2012, 2015, and 2018–2023 they used a tower near Fernow Hall, and in 2013, 2014, and 2016, they used the tower nearest Weill Hall. We installed cameras at both of these sites to get a better look at the intimate behavior of these well-known birds as they raise their young amid the bustle of a busy campus.

Good afternoon and Happy Caturday!

Cute pictures of the kids Clynn.  Bellas glasses do not change her appearance much as they  seem almost clear frames!   Cannot  wait  to see the
 sparkly pair!

Big basketball weekend!    May our favorite   Teams win!

Weather around 70 degrees or do with humidity of 100%! Partly sunny
Very damp feeling.  Water standing in the back yard!   At least I do not have to shovel it!
So far, at about an hour from my ent visit and treatment, I am not dizzy!   Knock on wood!   Trying hard not to dislodge these nasty crystals!   Let them settle in well and then move on!   Will call ortho md on Monday and schedule a shot!  This will be one appointment and then another for the shot.

Hope those who are ailing  are improving .

Went to an Arts and Craft Fair in Fairhope, Al, every year!  They had some great things and a section of some high end things.   I miss that show!   Best I ever attended!

Tsk - I agree with you in that I try not to miss the Arts & Crafts Faires as there is so much enjoyment in walking and seeing all the many unique and homemade goods, decorations and much more!! ;D

Clynn - Sophie & Sam wanted the same spot - so cute!! ;D    Bella looks cute in her new glasses!!  Talon is so cute & handsome - growing up fast!    Yum! Chicken bbq!!

Lori, thanks for the s'caps and gifs from the North nest! That's a big PIP!! I can see the movement through that Pip-hole, too! I bet there's lots of peeping going on in there, so I think that makes it a "peep-hole"!!  ;D :-* :-* Pip, pip, hooray!! I hope that little "chicklet" is here soon!  :) :-* :-*

baz - Hope your sister has a safe trip to Alexandria.  No bridge crossing today, and we made plans to shop tomorrow, so we don't have to go out in this nasty weather.  Thank for kind words on Sydney.  :-*  Be safe!

Lisa, thank you, my sister arrived safely in Alexandria 2 hours ago. Yay! All good at my house. It will be much windier tomorrow here when the back side of the storm system affects us. We expect gusty winds in excess of 40 mph here tomorrow. I think you may have similar winds tomorrow? If so, I guess your shopping tomorrow will be on your side of that bridge! Hope you don't have any bad flooding from the rain! Y'all have a good weekend!  :)

Arizona just finished their win today over Dayton. Now it's time for the KU Jayhawks to play (CBS), starting now. They're playing Gonzaga. Then my UNC Tarheels will play their game against Michigan State after the Kansas game is over, same channel. Go Heels!  :D


Lani, sorry for another Celebration of Life to attend. Your KU Jayhawks' game is starting now - they're going from playing one pack of Bulldogs to another!  ;) ;D The Zags Bulldogs this time. I hope you and Mike get to enjoy a good game today, and I hope Sadie is more comfortable today, and on her way to being 100% again soon.  :)

Karen, that's great news about not being dizzy!! Yay!!  :)

Lori, awww for the Big Red RTH nest, with 3 eggs! Thanks!  :-* :-* :-*

Phyl, ((Jim)).

E4E, shoot about the rainy day there today, but at least you like rain, I think I remember you saying before. I'm glad it sounds like the rain will wrap up in time for you and Kris to go to that Crafts Fair tomorrow. Fingers crossed!  :)

Tig, PUPPIES!  :D

TSK, everything I've seen on several major news outlets has said the type of Kate's cancer is not being released at this time. I hope it turns out to be a type that responds well to treatment, and that she and her family can put that behind her and she can return to good health again soon. Are you getting snow today?

((Eaglesrock)), thinking of you. Hugs. Stop back by The Beak when you can.  :) :-*



I'm off now to watch some basketball.

Have a great day, All!!   :)

Lani   how's Ms Sadie this am?    Cute doggie and kitty  noseies last night. Got me with those lovely Maine Coon kittens.  :-*
Celebrations of Life are an event of very mixed emotions IMHO

Tsk cuddly gingers this AM; 'whim-away"  ;D

CLynn an 'ear worm'  ;D ; those kitties at Happy Hour  look like they're having a meowing good time; Bella looks pretty and happy  in her new specs---but, those are just for reading and such?  Talon all smiles as usual.  Sam and Sophie awwwww.  'Thank you.'
And, that Bone Gap, IL Chick BBQ---luv a pulled chick BBQ sand.

Lori  many thanks for the update on DNN egglets ---celebratory 'pip' for sure.  ;)      Hope all is well w/ your family and grandma.

KB Ollieman was a cute little pup and  now a dapper old fella---even this no apologies Ailurophile will admit.  Nice childhood area.

Lisa sweet kitten this AM; improvement is slow for Jim-but he's up and about which is good--the more one lays about the weaker one can become in every way,  IMHO.         Doubtful, he'll return to work this Monday---no pay check last week and at best  a short one this week, if we're lucky..
  Retirees really feel the $$$ crunch these days.  :-X

Lori Cornell Lab  Big Red is awesome and look at those egglets!   Brrrr! Tks for history and  for posting.  ;)

Eagles  luv 'Office Kitty' today; I love the crafts shows.  Missouri goes nutz over Arts/Crafts---when we lived in Joplin, the NorthPark Mall was packed to near
over crowding with stalls and booths from crafters from the Four Sate Area. Mom and I were there all day  and the next.  It was fantastic! You/Kris would have had a time.

Tsk glad you had 'No  Snow'.  It's been gusty and blustery winds  all day with clouds threatening high temp between 46F and 52F feeling like 37F

Karen so glad you don't have the dizzies. I've tried most everything to get rid of mine and BPPV---I have been reading up on brandt and daroff exercises. When life's 'normal' here I'll set time aside and  work on them.  ;)

Phyl, thanks for RRP update "Pip, pip, Hooray! and nature video... I'm hoping Sadie will be better tomorrow.... I would have loved to have a Maine Coon... Bob is such a beautiful ginger cat.

Thank you Everyone for your TLC for Sadie. I'm hoping she will be better tomorrow. She'll have two days of meds in her system.

Clynn, Bella looks adorable with glasses. Definitely looks like her mom. Looking forward to seeing the sparkling glasses  ;D .... cute pic of S & S... the smell of barbecue chicken must have been intoxicating for the town! Yum!

Lori, wonderful posts of Decorah North today!  What a snowy day for Big Red. prayers for her eggs.

Kb, darling pic of puppy Ollie.  :-* .. funny Larry David cartoon  ;D

{{{Karen}}} praying those nasty crystals don't move and you have a day without dizziness.... our Kansas Jayhawks lost. :( But, the Jayhawk Women won!  ;D

Eagles, The Celebration of Life was a sad event... I didn't know anyone other than the wife of the deceased. ... It was a Mormon funeral for a husband of a friend. It was a blended family of two sets of adult children that seems to have not been able to have closure of their parents divorce. So, when it was time for the family members to share their thoughts, there were memories and emotions shared that sons wished they had said before their father died... on a side note, I discovered my eye doctor is a Mormon, his wife gave one of the prayers. It was a very unusual service, it left me thinking.

Baz, Glad your sister made her trip safely to Alexandria... So glad your Tarheels won!  ;D Our boys lost  :'( oh well, October will be here soon  ....  the Jayhawk Women won!!!  ;D .. sleep well  :-*

Tsk, Mike wasn't very happy. I stayed in my office and waited until I heard him turn off the tv. And by 7pm, he was watching a game in bed! We've moved on.  ;D

Tig, yes the KU Ladies won! Thanks  ;D ... Mike listened to it on his iphone. Couldn't get it on the tv.

Good night!

Lani, I am hoping Sadie is back to her old self today, she is such a sweetie. Like her 'Mom'! Erin told me once that Sydney's Mom and step-dad are Mormon, but I am not sure if they always were or if Sydney herself is Mormon. There are 3 or 4 Morman churches in this area. Prayers for your friend... It's good that Mike gets over the game losses quickly! Erin is like that about Manchester United, I could hear his scream all over the house when they made a goal and if they lost he would be mad for a while. Then over it. Sweet good night puppies...

Phyl, your good night pic is so Harley... Bella's glasses are for far away, like the blackboard at school. Glad to hear Jim is moving around, always better to move rather than just lay around. absolutely, no tv needed when you have kittens to watch! Sam and Sadie are super busy, then they nap, wake up and start all over!

LANI   How interesting to be at that Morman funeral.   LOL  You stayed in your office and waited til TV was turned off.  Smart move!  ;D    Pretty picture of the good night pups

CLYNN   Cool tower you have for the kitties.   Great shot on SWFL of all 3.   I did notice Southern Il would be in the path of a total eclipse .  How fun for Mom.  ;D

Morning Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

We woke up to an inch of wet snow, and we had a snowy walk this morning.
I think Sadie is feels better, she needed to go out only once last night. And 5 times this morning.
and now the sun is shining on this blessed day.  :)

Phyl, Good to hear Jim is feeling better....  KU ladies won... sweet Kestral.... I'm exhausted just thinking about 10,000 steps. I should have a step counter on me. LOL!

Clynn, sweet pic of S&S, is Harley around too?  :-* ..... What a great pic of SWFL family protecting their territory together!  :-*.... awesome about eclipse in Albion, and your mom is ready!  ;D... great news about DN 17  :-*

Tsk ;D

Tig, how sweet of Camper  :)

Lori, great pics and gifs of new Decorah North baby on this blessed day!  :-*

Lisa, it was a sad service, performed by a sad minister and maybe less than 40 people attended. I've been in a somber mood ever since, thinking about my own mortality, family and I keep going in Mike's office and giving him a hug or touching his shoulder. He's starting to give me weird looks. LOL! Oh what a morbid mood it put me in.... I need a good dive into my beautiful Hawaiian ocean waves to shake this feeling away. LOL! I'll watch DN sweet new baby and my favorite cams for awhile.

Good afternoon!   Tsk that Marquette game was something!   Wow!   Watching Purdue now!    NOt sure I can watch Northwestern!  They have two injuries going up against power house UConn!   Will make me nervous for sure!   
Lani, I am sorry you are so sad after the memorial service for your friend!   They are supposed to honor the deceased with a religious  part  that is supposed to  discuss the soul being in Heaven, etc.  the second part is usually  about the person and their accomplishments , sense of humor, honor, caring, etc.
i listened to the high Mass for my dear friend and former neighbor Margaret, a few weeks ago and felt they did both things beautifully!  I felt sad at the end because it brought to mind many reasons I Miss her!    Greatfuk to have known her!   These services should be  about the deceased only.
Anyway, we all have to go sometime and you still have some work to do!
Clynn, did your mother get some chicken from Bone .gap?   Hope most are excited about llinois BasketBall!

Lani I most certainly understand. . .

I discovered the power of those "just because" hugs.  Keep giving all you can - even the sweet touches.  Both of you get the dear message.

Sweet too how Mr. N is trying to protect his DNF while she's trying to keep their new treasure safe and warm while protecting the next little one.

Your choice of games is almost identical to mine.  Thought I'd write this while at halftime.  I do an occasional switch during commercials to keep tabs on tennis and drag racing, too.

Baz - You mentioned your sister arrived in Alexandria safely - is that where you live?  I probably have missed something here!   Hope you don't get such winds tomorrow (40 mph).    Enjoy the basketball games!! :)

E4E, no, my sister was going to Alexandria, VA, which is just south of, and across the Potomac River, from Washington, DC (inside the beltline). She went there to visit her daughter and son-in-law, and her 2 grandchildren there, who are my Littlest Greatniece, and Baby Bro. I live in southeastern NC. It's windy here, but the highest wind gust I have noticed so far was 38 mph. I lost power last night, but thankfully it wasn't for very long.   :D

Hypatia, Ancient Alexandria’s Great Female Scholar

This brilliant philosopher was murdered by a mob. But there's much more to her story.

In A.D. 415 Christian fanatics attacked and murdered Hypatia of Alexandria, claiming she was a heretic using black magic. Here’s the truth.

Years ago after  2011 there was  a big snow in Decorah, mom had eggs or chicks and as I signed off I worried about all of them.  In the am I. Got a coffee and tuned into the nest .  The scene that greeted me was one of pure winter beauty but very scary!   In the middle of the nest was a huge mound of snow!   Being new to the eagle world I thought, omg she has frozen to death covering her precious family.   In a few minutes, the snow mound lifted up and there was mom, shock off  the snow, looked around and settled back down
I hope Mrs North does as well!  ❄️   I think some of you must have seen this!  Actually think it was winter of 2012.  Back to the big dance!

this bridge I grew up on and still exists after being built in the early 1900's...I lived a few houses north of it on Overlook Dr. in Bloomington. It sits on the hill going down to Nine Mile Creek which empties into the Minnesota River....My old stomping grounds was the forests surrounding the Creek and River.

(https://scontent.ffcm1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.18169-9/23376445_10212350512571876_5569107345950129408_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=B1wk2jTTj8IAX_QBVAd&_nc_ht=scontent.ffcm1-2.fna&oh=00_AfCd4cmV-00QtQF7zBAXbgVXs48t3Y_vGZSfWqWJMTwxLg&oe=66266676)

this is the accompanying Waleswood Estates...overlooking the Minnesota River. Stables, clubhouse, watch tower...All torn down before the subdivision of homes were built in the 1957-1960 era..
Marv Anderson bought the property and developed it all. He built his own beautiful "mansion" overlooking the bluffs and shot off the most fabulous fireworks on the fourth of July.
Course all we kids needed to do was go sit outside on the front steps.

Still visit the area, woods, and creek. Not so much since the Pandemic but will have to do so soon. Lots of bald eagles and wildlife as well.

I just love this bridge, it does nothing now and no one knows for sure if it had a function!
Memories.

Kb, Tig and all in that neck of the woods ... How's everyone making out with the snow in the Midwest ?

Side - Kb
I searched high & low for that stone bridge along Overlook Dr. in Bloomington, MN and could not find it.
I see a "modern" home in the bridge pic background, so I assumed I could see it from Google Maps Street View. ?? 
Overlook Dr. overlooks a fair bit of the Minnesota River however.
Could you pinpoint It's location on a map for me somehow as now you've put a map junkie on a mission.   ;D

Speaking of pummeled by Spring snow my SIL in VT just called (after her power came back on) and said she got slammed with 25" of the March White snow Mud rapidly settling into April ice berms only to be followed by world renowned Gorilla Hair real world mud.    :)

The mother ship conveyance is stuck   :o  in NYS tonight or we'd respond with appropriate provisions like wine. ;)

The aft winch crapped out.

Kopje and I bushwhacked a new route to the cabin.
Kopje was ecstatic with the unfamiliar terrain and the new critter tracks and scents.
Pip ye of little faith from A to B I've successfully navigated so many times your head would spin.
Pip has navigational skills way beyond mine.
Kopjes up tail and nose was like a compass.  :)

.. you know where we are and we're totally cool .. raging wood stove suck's to be us.   :)

Vt SIL mentioned that all of the Raptors on the back 40 have 'shaken it off' and are today emerging appropriately.  8)

BL - I found it right away on google maps...google maps won't let me copy the picture I have of it open in another tab, but the address is 2251 Overlook Drive. I grew up at 2132 Overlook Dr..
Unfortunately last google map driver drove in the winter so you will see it between two homes and in back of what could be described as a yard of snow..

It's been snowing here since early morning, and much harder now and into the night..

They say we won't be able to detect or see how much we will end up with as our temps are just below freezing and it has melted on the streets all day. Just now it's accumulating on the roads and my driveway.
I already shoveled about 3 heavy wet inches off my decks in back..

Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow and then return to snow on Tuesday....a big mess.

Am happy I prepared to stay home for the next few.

Let me know if that doesn't work for you to find the bridge.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: kbshcb on March 24, 2024, 07:49:49 PM

BTW when you find the bridge you will see Overlook Dr. makes a sharp right (west) turn....if you follow the road to the right or westerly on the left are all the homes that overlook the Minnesota River...and therefore relate to my other picture of the Waleswood Estates.

From the bridge going the other direction all the homes on the now right overlook Nine Mile Creek.
Nine Mile Creek and it's forests were My Home..

We made the paths going to the creek and along it as kids, there were none like there are now...made by the Scouts with some tar/gravel, and a few bridges..done after I left.

Phyl - The North Park Mall sure sounds like it was a lot of fun!!  Without a doubt, we would have enjoyed browsing around that wonderful Crafts Faire!   Still thinking of Jim and hoping he is feeling better each day.

Lani - So sorry that the celebration of life wasn't really a 'feel good' celebration.  Sure it is always sad that a loved one has passed away, but there are stories & remembrances of the person's life that pick up your spirits!   Oh no, Mike's teams not winning?  As you know, I don't watch, so I don't know about the games.

Clynn - Cute pics of Sophie & Sam!!  I bet they constantly are fun to watch!!  ;D  Thank you for Sue Bruhling's DNN!! ;D   Hope your Mom got some of that yummy bbq chicken!!

Tsk - My mom is almost like Tim, she loves to watch Golf on tv!!  She is not really into other sports, but I know she will enjoy the Summer Olympics!

LisaG - Hope you had a nice shopping day!

Tig - Camper is so thoughtful!

Lori - Great cam shots!!! Too cute!!!!

Karen - 'Yes' - agree with what you said to Lani!

Hi Puff  :)

Baz - Thank  you for the explanation!  ;D  A lot of wind in your area last night - hope it has calmed down!

Karen - I'm pretty sure I saw the nest that morning too!!  I know I was definitely watching the cams at that time! :)

Phyl, what a sweet picture of mom North, she is certainly keeping that new baby warm and cozy,,, and we get a quick peak at DN17 in Amy's video! The Common Kingfisher and his mate are beauties!  Looks like they are working on their nest?  49 here, high 61. Maybe more rain, and as most always, windy! And there are Mother and Father Goose! Love the GSB view, wonder if that is Newman or the new Lady?

Lani, yesterday was yukky here too, today will be better! Hope your day will be better weatherwise too! I also remember the Decorah storm of 2012, we were all on pins and needles! Coconut milk and rum, sounds yummy. I'll have to try it!

E4E, Mom and Aunt June got their BBQ chicken, they said the smell was so good, and so was the chicken!

Heading to 61  Light rain showers today.

KAREN   Yes we sure do remember Mom Decorah buried in that nest and we were all so new to that experience.  I agree and hope Mrs North does as well.

BL   That is one heck of a lot of snow in Vt. for your SIL   Hope the temps get to 60 and sunny today for her.. :o

PHYL   Hope Jim doesn't try and go back to work too soon... ???  Kingfishers are such pretty little birds. 365  Cool screen clip from GSB

EAGLES   I too am looking forward to the Summer Olympics  ;D

LANI   Look at those eyes in your good night photo  ;) ;)

I've been documenting how it looks out our door. I'm hoping rain comes this morning to wash away the snow on the back sidewalk so I don't need to clear a path for the mailman. Camper shoveled the city sidewalk out front during a brief lull yesterday. Too bad I'm missing the pool again. I'm conflicted. LOL.

Time to watch the church teaching from yesterday before I watch tennis and women's BBall.  ::)

No snow here!  55 going to 75! 
My heart hurts for Northwestern!  Very bad first half!   Think they went in afraid of uconn and never got a good rhythm going!  Still have some favorites left in the dance!
Glad the  chicken in Bone Gap was good!  Your mom is a trooper. Clynn!
Phyl, don’t push Jim too much and hopefully get consults with the doctors and a good plan for him, going forward!  Pats for Maggie.
Bl, a lot of sturdy, hardy good folks in the far North Eastern part of our country!   As usual, the snow will melt!

Good Morning Beakers

Well, it was a weekend of broken brackets - the men's brackets had no perfect ones left going into Sat.  The women's bracket have only 14 perfect brackets left out of 3.25million created.
The men had 11 upsets in the first round and 2 in the second with all of the top 8 moving into the sweet 16 and 2 #3 seeds, 2 #4 seeds, 2 #5 seeds and 2#6 seeds joining them.
The women still have 8 games to play today to decide the sweet 16.  In round 1 there was only 1 upset, but there was 3 upsets yesterday.  Games start at 1pm today, so should be another entertaining day for those watching.  Hoping that the 2 Iowa starters that missed the last game, can play in this one.

{{{Karen}}} hope you have a good day.

Tig, a good day to give yourself a little TLC too... good luck to Iowa! We're going to watch too, as well as KU women following.

Tsk, Do you have a busy week at the church before Easter Sunday?

Clynn, we're enjoying our slushy snow and rain, because we know it won't last long. The moisture is filling our reservoirs, little creeks for the wildlife.... pics of sweet D17  :-*
I like Pina Colada with light rum or Chi Chi made with vodka.

Kb, we had an inch of wet snow. It's starting to melt and the sun is shining. Hopefully, your slushy snow will melt too.

Phyl, seeing a Kingfisher in the wild is on my bucket list. I didn't realize they nest near creeks and streams.... thanks for RRP blog on little newbie  :-* ... and photos of DN nest and Decorah Goose nest. What a devoted mate for mother goose. She's never alone at night.... and there's Newman.

Lani - pretty area in that picture!.

8.5 inches of concrete doesn't just melt in Minnesota..even though it's over 32 degrees.

Eventually it will.

In the meantime it's tough on the ol bod...my roof over steps was sagging so I took it off and had to move it.
Snow above the shop drips into the shop so I moved about 1/2 of it.

Neck, thumbs, wrists, shoulder in bad shape at the moment.

Bottom deck and steps left to melt.

Last year's big storm took a month to melt.

 ;) I know... "morning" ...  ;D



Lani, what a gorgeous picture your neighbor took of your area! Just stunningly gorgeous! Is that rooftop in the picture your house? I adore Kingfishers! I regularly see male and female Belted Kingfishers diving for fish in my neighborhood ponds and waterways. I am so lucky that I get to see a resident Kingfisher diving for meals almost every single day in the retention pond just a few feet from my door. If I don't see him, I usually hear him, and then sometimes I can spot him in the trees next to the pond, waiting to dive for his next meal. They have such a distinctive call. There is another Kingfisher that I often see fishing from the trees when I walk to the kayak launch and dock in the natural intracoastal waterway with so many cypress trees around the perimeter. Belted Kingfishers typically nest in holes (burrows) they dig in the sides of banks along ponds. I have never found one of those - it's on my "I would die to see one!" list. I never get tired of watching or listening to my neighborhood Belted Kingfishers. I stop and watch every single time.  :-*  https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Belted_Kingfisher/lifehistory#:~:text=Nest%20Placement,gravel%20pit%20far%20from%20water .  I'm so glad you're getting the snow and rain, for its much-needed moisture, and I hope it will help all the plants and animals, and keep your area safer from any fire. Piña Coladas are one of my all-time favorite drinks... mmm! I never knew they originated in San Juan, P.R.!! I saved your recipe for that - thanks!  :-*  We used to almost live off them in Miami  ;D - especially at one of our favorite outdoor bar/restaurants on the Biscayne Bay waterfront, in "The Grove" - Coconut Grove. I wish I were enjoying a Piña Colada on a table by the water there in the warm sun right now!!  :)


I hope All the Beakers stay safe and warm, and have a great day!!  :)

baz, the Kingfisher does have a very distinct sound! You have so many cool critters around your area!

tsk, your busy will be before the weekend, then you can relax....

Lisa, is this the romper for Sydney?  I have a Squishmallow for Bella (one for Talon too, though I don't know if he will be thrilled. He would rather have a weapon of some kind!).

Hi Bl & Lori  :)

We have had so much rain in the past week (dry today), that we woke up Sunday to some flooding in our garage.  We do have a drain outside our garage door, that goes down into a pipe and into the back yard, but it couldn't keep up.  Kris cleaned it out (it was partly clogged).  Today was a dry out day for our Mats & rugs that we took out of the garage yesterday.  They didn't all completely dry, but it helped!

Beakers have a good night.

Beautiful flowers this morning! And thanks for Amy;s Blog!

E4E, Ed and I have had a few incidents with too much rain! When we lived in Springfield, we went to the basement one morning and there was about 18 inches of water in the basement. Then it happened again later that year. it was water coming up the drain in the floor. The next house we bought had water seeping in the basement, we had a waterproofing company fix it, and it was worse! And several years ago in this house, the sump pump failed. We had to rent a POD to empty all the stuff into so we could clean it all up. Half of our basement is finished, so there was carpet. We have had our full quota of water in the house!

kb, thank you for the crash report.

tsk, yes, Talon is all into weapons! When I let them pick out a toy at the store he always heads to the aisle with all the Nerf guns or swords! I think it comes from his other grandpa! He will probably shoot the Squishmallow bear I got for his Easter basket! Bella always goes for the stuffed critters and dolls, maybe she will rescue the bear!

Been watching the Bridge Collapse news since 4am this morning from multiple sources.

Nothing very new being reported in the last hour or so....we shall have to wait and see.

Of course my first thought was our 35W bridge collapse but not related in any way.

Sounds like mechanical issue at least on the cargo ship.

Course I looked up the bridge location right away to check on our Lisa, but not the same bridge.

However, it looks like eventually if it had made it to the Chesapeek Bay that in fact it might have had to go under her bridge as well.
Will wait till she responds to find out.

Lani - Thanks.  I hope it is approved by the Mama.

Phyl - Thanks for the 365 and RRP post. 

clynn - Local news says, two people were recovered, so far.  One refused treatment and one is in critical condition at Shock Trauma.

kb - You are correct. If it would have been any later, and the ship would have made it to my bridge.  That would have really been bad.  The people that cross the Key bridge have an alternate route to get around it.  We do not on this side of the bridge.  We would have to drive 2 hours to the top of Maryland, and then back down 2 hours just to get over to the other side.

tsk, E4E, tig, karen and all - Morning!

It's a big loss for our State...no ships can enter the port, no cruise ships can leave till that is cleaned up.  Loss of revenue, as that was a toll bridge and will need to be re-built.

Post by: LisaG1967 on March 26, 2024, 08:57:15 AM

clynn - I agree with you on that!  The bridge maintenance workers do work at night on all bridges around here, to keep the traffic flowing during the day.  I believe the local news said, they were looking for the 7 workers.  If you watch the video of the collapse, you can see the work crews with their lights on up on the bridge as it goes down.  :(  They were also saying a tractor trailer was crossing at that same time. 

tig - Beautiful flowers, and nice melt there!

tsk - I have only crossed that a handful of times, but not on a regular basis.  My ex SIL uses it daily to go to and from work!  She called me in a panic this morning.

Post by: kbshcb on March 26, 2024, 09:09:35 AM

The news has suggested there should have been a harbor pilot on the ship besides the captain. The harbor pilot guides the ship into and out of the harbor.

So, I got to thinking how does he get off once out of the harbor itself?

Here's how: ...this video there is wind, this morning's collision was calm.

The harbor pilot and captain know what happened but I'm sure advised to be quiet till much later.

I still haven't heard how many crew members might have been on the ship...Certainly more than the captain and harbor pilot/pilots?

https://youtu.be/6reRWaPcqBk?t=1 (https://youtu.be/6reRWaPcqBk?t=1)

tig- Snow has been coming down hard and sideways here for quite awhile.
This after all night intermittent very heavy rain.

I imagine ice under the snow could make it treacherous?...at least on my driveway, LOL

Same Fox station here KB.  A little bit more info they mentioned.  Crew on ship knew something was wrong and put out mayday.  Bridge people on hand shut down entrance to both ends of bridge, not sure how many vehicles were already on bridge.  Our fine Navy seals are already in the water doing what they can, finding whatever they can.  Ship seen in video, the one they seem to luckily have and that they are always manning, show the ship's lights going off and on a couple times.  Mechanical problem maybe?  The missing people they know about and are looking for were working through the night filling pot holes.  That must be the known missing.  Governor talk/presentation was very well done, had authentic feel to it.

Yeah I'm watching any/all updates even now...after watching the video of the ship hitting the bridge over and over, I have to say I see vehicles crossing before but not during the actual hit. At least as much of the bridge on the video.

Originally someone said sonar showed vehicles in the water. Now, I'm questioning that. That would be tremendous if they actually closed it just before the strike and no vehicles still on that section that went down.

I know the 6 maintenance workers left unaccounted for for sure...

During the 35W bridge collapse maintenance people were also on that bridge at the time it went down. In fact, with that bridge that was part of the reason it fell down with the extra weight on top of a structurally deficient bridge.

kb - Jeff posted this to me on Skype earlier.  The same vessel that hit the Baltimore Key Bridge on Tuesday, destroying it and sending people and vehicles tumbling into the water, was also involved in a collision while leaving the port of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2016. 

Phyl - Local weather girl said, water temp was like 47° at the time.

Interesting reply from Doc on TV. . .46 degrees does not mean freezing -BUT That does mean the body's temp can/will go down 50 degrees  - that's what is the danger.  Never though about it that way.  I don't like even 70 in the house.

Later - going to Saint Lucia. . .

Lisa  47F doesn't mean the water isn't cold and restrictive to movement and breathing, as  per Dr. Mark Segal .  Besides the drop from the bridge is about 185 ft +/-  , that fall is almost always fatal  as per Dr. Mark Segal stated on 'Outnumbered' FNC. Let's pray for a survival miracle.

Tsk so relieved Jaspurr wasn't there. That SOS the ship sent out was heeded by the mayor and traffic was shut down/diverted

Royal Albatross - Mar 24, 2024
Dad LGK comes back home the same day as LGL (TF's mom) - just missing her by 3 hours! What a shame - their reunions are few & far between now with both parents out full time foraging for food for their chick. LGK sits down like he likes to do upon arrival and then slowly make his way over to TF. LGK gives TF a feeding, rests again and then walks over to sit with TFT and baby-sit :) LGK is a gentle albie adult and TFT is happy to have the company. LGK comes back to be with TF and give a 2nd feeding.  Thank you for watching!

Howdy Beakers!

So sorry about the awful ship and bridge collision and collapse of the Key bridge in Baltimore!!  :(  Prayers for families and friends of the victims.


Yes, the job of a Harbor Pilot is extraordinarly dangerous!  I used to date a Tug Boat Caption here, who escorted large container ships in and out of the area's port. I visited on their tug boats, and rode them in the river sometimes (shhh! don't tell!).  8)  He was the person who, LOL, I've mentioned proposed to me twice... but I never accepted either time.  ;)  Anyway, I also spent a lot of time at the office of that Tug Boat Company, and got to know the other tug captains and crew, and also the Harbor Pilot, who worked with my boyfriend there. My boyfriend delivered the Harbor Pilot to the rope hanging down the side of those giant container ships, communicate with the other tugs and the freight ship while the Harbor Pilot climbed the rope to the deck of the container ship, and would pick him up when the Pilot was ready to climb back down the rope. It's a very, very delicate operation, with several tugs on both sides of the large ship, in constant communication with each other, and the Harbor Pilot in constant communication with the container ship. Climbing and descending those rope ladders was part of a highly coordinated and delicate procedure, with so many opportunities for accidents, so good working relationships, coordination, and highly skilled tug and ship operators were imperative! The tugs look so small next to those giant container ships, but, actually, many of those tug boats are very large!! It was kind of funny, that when I joined a very small gym, it turned out that the owner, who was my personal trainer back then, was the son of the Harbor Pilot who worked with my boyfriend! LOLOL! He and I discovered that after I had been working out there for a year!!  One day the gym owner was doing some studying, and I asked him what it was (he already had a masters in exercise science), and he said he was studying to become a licensed Harbor Pilot, like his father. !! That prompted me to mention that I knew a Harbor Pilot in the area, by the name of "x," who worked with my boyfriend, and lo and behold! he said that's my father!!  Then he asked who my boyfriend was, and he knew him, of course, through his father. Who woulda thunk it??  !!  ;D ;D ;D


Take care, All!  :)


P.S. It's been almost a week since I went for a walk.  It's very pretty here today, so I'm thinking about a walk... maybe soon... maybe.

I'm going to re-post that video here that you posted earlier. It's 6 minutes long, and lines up with the updated information on the TV reports now, too.

It's an excellent explanation showing the sequence of events, as known at that time, with the excellent description by a knowledgeable perosn:

Unfortunately last google map driver drove in the winter so you will see it between two homes and in back of what could be described as a yard of snow..

BL - I found it right away on google maps...google maps won't let me copy the picture I have of it open in another tab, but the address is 2251 Overlook Drive. I grew up at 2132 Overlook Dr..
Unfortunately last google map driver drove in the winter so you will see it between two homes and in back of what could be described as a yard of snow..

very cool catch, BL!...I'll have to investigate if I can. I copied the pic and asked the group just now. We shall see.

At the moment I'm trying to deal with no city plows/salt in my neighborhood yet, no mailman either. And, I can't open the back doors...

Glad I don't have to go anywhere especially when I hear many other suburbs/cities have done salt/plowing since early this morning.
I dislike that I can't plan my days around this stuff when so many others can just go la di da.

BL - forgot to add:

Someone who just moved to my city from New Jersey posted today on our Community fb page:
Why haven't they dropped salt here...this is at 3pm in the afternoon after snowing on top of ice all day!
Important part:
She said they do in NJ.

I replied They do in cities from Minnetonka to Rogers....just not here.

I expect an onslaught of negative comments....just helping out a fellow New Jersian.

Phyl    You also got info from Dr. Segal on temps.  He brought up a good reminder.  We have to remember we are more delicate than the metal bridge work.  Wonder at what temp our bodies go into shock.  Plus, as tsk mentioned, I also watched another replay only watching moving lights across the bridge, most of late vehicles traveled from right to left.  The last 4 I saw, two looked like trucks, last two cars.  Can't tell from the vid where the bridge ends out of the left side.  A couple looked like they were very close between making it and not making it.   They're using sonar underwater looking for metal.  Can't tell without actually seeing the finds what they found.  There has to be a lot of beeps between all the metals of the bridge, vehicles, and loaded trailers/cargo.

Puff - Tried to find you a video of the bridge, so you could see what the bridge looks like.  It has a long entrance ramp area before you actually get on and off the bridge.  Hope you can view it.

BL   Thanks for the different perspective on the stone bridge and now house and pine.

I read it's now reported there were no vehicles on the bridge when the ship hit thanks to heroic police officers who jumped into action.

Only the 8 maintenance workers were on it, 2 recovered, 6 assumed perished.

The sonar must have been picking up metal from the bridge early on.

NTSB and other officials holding news conference now on FNC. Exactly what I had feared and hoped not to happen.  :'( :'( :'( :( :( :( :(
Praying The Father holds these families close and they Him.
My Dad worked on a tug boat on The Mississippi River in the late 1940's and early 1950's out of  Ashland, KY tons of goods were shipped on those
barges . He'd be gone for days as they sailed up and down the Miss. Mom had two boys---toddlers, my brothers---and it all to do herself. Farm girls are good stock. ;)



Lisa I know you knew about the Key bridge height.  :-*  All I've done today is think hope and pray for those victims of the bridge collapse.
That's all any of us have done, I'm sure.  Great video BTW

Lani love those Albies  :-*; thanks for the report on the Royals, all appears 'good'; love that  acorn woodpecker. We have the Hairy and the Red Bellied.
A pair of Hairys we've named 'Harry and Harriet'.  :-*

Puff Dr. Segal is always right---the human body is the most delicate organic machine made.  When I heard what he said on 'Outnumbered' this Am
my heart sank and I got teary.  That water temp is fridged ---just 5 degrees above freezing. Still one can always hope---there is always 'Hope'.

Phyl - Hope Jim is doing a little bit better each day.  Nice warm temp even if you got rain!! ;D  Thank you for all links!   As what you said, I can't imagine how awful for those construction workers to have fallen into those frigid waters at 1:30 a.m. I am so sad for those lost and their families. :'( :'(    Thanks for the history of your Dad & Mom and how your Dad worked on a tug boat.

Lani - That will be nice if you get together with Shannon on Sunday!

Clynn - Read what you said about water/flooding in your houses over the years, and I say that you have had more than your share of floods and too much water!

Karen - I too, was concerned that the bridge was too close to LisaG and I was relieved that she was fine.

LisaG - When I turned on our tv right before 7 am this morning and they were showing and talking about the 'Key' bridge, I was almost shaking as I signed into the Beak to check on you.  Thank goodness you were fine!!!   I am so sorry for the construction workers who were lost in that terrible tragedy.  So very sad for All  :'( :'(

Tsk - Yes, we are lucky our garage only flooded by up to 1/3" in the highest area.  The outside walkway alongside our garage had at least 3" of water before going into the garage.   We just had to dry things out, but at least nothing real valuable got absolutely ruined.   Thank you for posting the report link from Jaspurr.

Tig - Love all the great pictures!!!

Puff - Sadly, what you said - that's about what I was hearing on the news. . . .

Lani - Like Royal Albatross! ;D

Beakers have a nice evening.

Sorry to learn there were no more rescues from the river in MD.  :(  Very sad. Prayers for their families and friends.

I finally got out to walk this afternoon. Walked 31 minutes. I walked to the marsh across the main street, the part where it is the big wide open area with all the tall, brown marsh grass, with trees around the edges of the marsh, and only a few dead and weathered ones here and there out in the open marsh area, where there is also the intracoastal waterway that leads to the river, though it's usually hard to see from the edge of the marsh because the grass is so tall. There were 6 Snowy Egrets perched together in a tall dead tree out in the middle of it! Very cool to see them all together in that tree like that. So pretty. Wish I had had my binoculars with me!

Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Aw KB. I just read this and broke into tears. That is such a a sweet thing. I showed it to Camper right away.
Y'all prolly didn't know, we have a connection. We both worked for MnDOT at the time. We were here at my family home to meet a man to sell the living room rug after Mom had passed the previous August. We heard about the 35W bridge collapse on the radio. Camper jumped into action as he was the department photographer. I dropped him off at work so he could get his equipment and a company car. But his cell phone battery was dead so I gave him mine. I had many anxious hours waiting for him to come home that night. And every week for the year of rebuilding he was there.. documenting it all.

baz, I would love to sit with you and just watch the critters you see around you, I would have a rum and coke and you would have your favorite...very interesting story of your old boyfriend! My first husband was from Albion, I was smitten when I met him, a soldier just back from 3 years in Viet Nam. I never ran into him in Albion after we split, but i did run into his parents. They were good people. He passed away in 2022, his Dad in 2021 and his Mom in 2020. I still talk to his sister...

tig, I remember when the bridge collapsed in Minneapolis, it was the news of the day. And you and Camper were right there! I bet he took hundreds of pictures, from every angle!  Yes, hug your loved ones, you just never know when tragedy can happen...

There are conflicting reports about whether there were cars on the Francis Scott Key Bridge when it collapsed. According to an internal U.S. Department of Homeland Security briefing, there were "no vehicles transiting the bridge at the time of the incident". However, Kevin Cartwright, director of communications for the Baltimore Fire Department, said that several vehicles were on the bridge at the time of the collapse, including one the size of a tractor-trailer. Video footage shows cars and trucks on the bridge as it collapsed. Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace says rescuers have “detected the presence of vehicles” in the water, although they do not know how many vehicles are there.

E4E, the one memory of our basement flooding is of my Cabbage Patch dolls, still in the box, floating in the 18" of water. I did a lot of crafts back then (late 80's) and it was all in the basement!

tsk, not only the survivors, but the people on the cargo ship...how terrible they must be feeling and are they still on the ship? I couldn't find anything about the people on the ship.

Phyl, oh that cute baby in the bunny outfit! Turkeys in the wild and the cutest little eaglets in Amy's Blog! Breathtaking pictures of Alaska in the article, will read later. Thanks for all the stuff! 26 right now, high 46 for today. And sunny! Tomorrow will be even better! Hope you and Jim are feeling better!

kb thanks for the positive ID on the Scots Pine.

 That is one beautiful specimen of Pinus sylvestris. (http://www.minnesotaseasons.com/Plants/Scots_pine.html) You can tell it has been well taken care of and shaped for many years.
It reminded me of a giant Bonsai Tree when I 1st saw it.   :)   8)

Your childhood home area in Bloomington by Nine Mile Crk and the Minnesota Riv looks like it was outdoor heaven for you kids.  ;D
Was the Waleswood Estate still there when you were a kid ?

Some MSP snow stats for you and Chris:
It's official you more than doubled your season snowfall over the past 6 days.
Up to 03/19/24 the season total was 14.3".
From 03/21 to 03/26 MSP received 15.2".
The new season total - so far - is 29.5" .. still below the season total AVG of 54.0" by 24.5".

I hope it all melts out for you swiftly come April.   :-*

1.25 hours and $425 later, the roof is clear of snow and the sun is working its magic. Yay! I went out briefly to add a couple of zip ties to my fence gates rabbit deterrent barricades and clear a few shovels worth of snow here and there. I should be able to return to the pool tomorrow.

I watched a feeding at the North nest for a bit. And Mom Canada Goose is resting.

Clynn I bungee jumped off of that bridge back in the 80's, it was quite the head rush I can tell you !!

Just walking across the wood planked bridge is pretty cool.

No the Waleswood Estates sold/bankruptcy?????I forgot..it was a long time ago, a different time, and Marv Anderson bought it just before our subdivision was built in the mid 50's to 60...
I believe some tragedies fell upon the Waleswood Estate family.

My home was built by Marv Anderson in 1958 when we immediately moved in. I was 6 years old.a first grader. Had my twin brother and a year younger sister.

However, I forgot, but there is an association with the Waleswood name to the curve our house was built on Wellswood Curve and Overlook Drive.

I did read all the historical information but it didn't all sink in my brain...just the gist of the history.

Nonetheless, I attribute my love of nature to the area I grew up in and also importantly the time I grew up in. We were allowed to spend an entire day alone in the woods if we wanted to.

I currently would hesitate to visit this area alone as an adult.

Yes, I hope it melts soon too!...My driveway and decks have 1/2 inch or more of ice under the snow.
Today I removed the snow on some of it to let the sun do it's job on the ice.

I think in the season of 2014/15?...or sometime not too far back in history we had a 27 or so inch winter.
Also a El Nino year.

Looking forward to spring, and maybe a walk in my ol neighborhood but with another adult

Howdy Beakers!

I walked 23 minutes today, after running several errands. It was a shorter walk than usual, but rain clouds were threatening, so I didn't venture far. False alarm on the rain clouds, though a nearby area had a shower. Widespread rain will move in here later this evening, and continue through a cooler tomorrow - forecasting 1-3 inches of rain before it ends tomorrow evening, with some places expecting 3-5 inches. Then a sunny and very warm Easter weekend, around 80 degrees. I bought a pretty red geranium for a pot out front.


Clynn, it takes a lot of sitting or standing and watching time to see what all is happening in the wide world of nature. as you know. People who can't sit/stand and watch, and sit and watch some more, quietly, alertly, with their head on a swivel, miss almost all of it. We could just hit the refill button, and stay put, and watch. Stuff happens all around!  ;) ;D


Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Good evening Beakers!
Good reading today and BL, I am thinking I might plan a trip to Colorado and bungee jump for my next  birthday!   Lolol

Dr. hall she would give Piper a pedicure today!  She. Stopped in kast night with  2 bags   With pill pockets and drugs!   One bag for last night and one for this morning!   Pipers behavior was quite odd!  Finally got to bed at midnight or later and dropped off to sleep with  tv and ceiling fan on!   Woke up at some hour and immediately felt hot!  Aha!  Ceiling fan off, cpap machine off and no tv!  In less than  30 minutes. All was back on!   This Morning I found that I slept through the. Weather warning call and a really bad storm!   75 plus mph winds driving heavy rain and hail!  No visible damage here but a lot if damage a few moles from me!  Straight line winds!   Baz, is this the system you are expecting?   Weather cooler in the low  70s  for a   few more days!
Dr. Hall had to give Piper more Happy stuff to do her pedicure!  Got it done with a lot of squirming!   Someone must have hurt her at some time as she really does not like it!  Rain again this evening.  Piper back o normal and we are iff to bed!   SEDS

Baz back in the early days they could/would calibrate the bungee cord to your exact weight so that your head would hopefully come within about 20' of the Arkansas River below.

That was the "deluxe adrenaline package" as they called it at the time .. for extra $$ of course.   
They don't do that anymore at the Royal Gorge that I know of.

I opted for the regular package where your walnut "bottomed out" at about 150' above the river.
It's sort of like sky diving / free falling head down at terminal velocity (between 150 & 180 mph) which is not foreign to me.

Free falling head down on the end of a rubber band is sort of like sky diving ^^ up until the reverse apogee recoil at the bottom of the giant rubber band .. the rocketing back up towards the bridge deck .. that is the gotcha moment that you know this is something different.

Whoa whoa and some more whoa that ain't nothing like landing by any type of parachute rig I've ever safely landed with 700 + times.

After you get hoisted back up to the bridge deck upside down and change your shorts you go and get a cold one and look to  the next advenure.

Royal was not my first or last bungee jump.
It was my last one of that caliber however.

To get me to do it again would require just one person that jumped before me who knew and trusted the rigging situation. 

That man that mentored me on all sorts of climbing, gliding and falling   :'( 
The real ropes of safety teaching to me passed peacefully of natural cause on the night of 03/26/24.

Freaky Clynn you pop up that pic this AM.

His daughter called early in the morning and by her # I knew.
We reminisced laughed and cried at the same time together as you all know.

I got up after hanging up the phone with her pondering.
Dusted off a very old bottle of Jack Daniels Black and took a hearty shot of it at 3 AM.
I hope it went down as just smooth with you as it did with me brother.    :)

Just like the night after we voluntarily jumped off that perfectly good bridge.   ;D

Baz- Sound like you have some good scenery during your walk!

Kb- That is a beautiful/loving tribute for the bridge with the Maryland flag colors. :-*    I hope you get some real 'Spring' weather soon.

Tig- I did not know about the previous bridge until the news was going over the past history of bridge collapses.  Thank you for telling the story of the 2007 collapse and how Camper was there to document it all.  Was this the year you were referring to?

Lani- Touching beautiful BE. :-*

Phyl- How is Jim feeling?  Good for you in looking after him and his medical appts.

Tsk- How is everyone in the household? ;D  I'm sure you are busy as usual!!

Clynn- Oh no, what a story of your cabbage patch doll floating in water!! :o

Og- Thank you for links!

LisaG- Yes, I bet it was a sad feeling crossing your bridge today . . . .

Bl - Nice of you to give Kb the snow stats!

Karen - Awe, poor Piper! But she has to have her nails trimmed!!  Hope she had a good nap afterwards!  You & Piper have a good night!

Tig the article you shared is most interesting/informative, Tks.

OG there is little doubt that the F. Scott Key bridge disaster will impact the area, lives and trade for years perhaps decades

TSK, I can't blame you for not doing your daily walking today. You did a lot of walking without the treadmill! I only did 1 grocery store today. And you may recall, I missed about 4 or 5 days in a row without walking over the past week until finally getting in a walk yesterday. And it's supposed to be a deluge here all day tomorrow, so I had an extra "push" to get a walk in today, even though it was shorter.

Karen, wow! I'm so glad that big storm last night didn't crash down on your house the way it did a few miles from you!! You might need to turn up the volume on your severe weather alert system. Yes, that's the same system that's coming here, but it won't have the same punch it had where you live - just a lot of rain, because it's supposed to semi-stall for a bit here, and it will be windy tomorrow afternoon here, but only in the 30+ mph range - not like your 70+ mph straight line winds! I'm so glad you and Piper are okay, and Piper made it through his manicure.  :-* P.S. I don't think your ENT would recommend your birthday bungee jump from the Royal Gorge Bridge, but, you know what they say, "Knock yourself out."  ;D ;)

E4E, I'm lucky that I am surrounded by so much varied nature within a short number of paces from my door.


Sleep well, All.

baz, glad you were able to get a walk in yesterday, don't want you to blow away in the wind today!  ;D

Phyl, hope you and Jim are feeling even better today, and Miss Maggie too! Are you and Jim still getting along with one car? Saves $$$ if you can manage!

BL, great descriptions of your Royal Gorge jump! You are certainly a daredevil! The "deluxe adrenaline package" is a memory you will for sure never forget, I just can't imagine stepping off that bridge... ::) ::)  Sorry to hear that your mentor has passed away, he taught you well...

I instantly saw a pi symbol!

Beautiful photo of an amazing mother - Risasi ("The Bullet").
With cheetah numbers plummeting in Masai Mara, this girl managed to raise her 2 boys (from initial 4) to reach 1 yo.
They still have a long way to go to reach adulthood but it`s a huge accomplishment.

Happy Thursday all...gotta get the boulders out of my way at the end of the driveway today..street plow ice that is..a foot high..so I can back out safely. Although my Jeep could probably bust through just fine.
I'll try a flat spade for a narrow path first

MORNING ALL

KAREN   You are a sound sleeper for sure.  Glad the power went back on quickly and no obvious damage.  Dr Hall is such a good friend.

BL  So sorry to hear of your dear friend and mentor passing away.  :'(  What memories you will have.

LANI   Prayers for Lynn Rogers that his carotid endarterectomy went well yesterday.  He had some great photos in the bear report.  That fox was beautiful.  REDPOLLS  :o :o

CLYNN   Congrats Talon  ;D ;D

Also, no one has mentioned the tram that kinda like shimmies down the wall of  the canyon to the bottom.  I've done that a couple of times when younger - and not so smart maybe.  Can't believe people do that.

I got my driveway clear with the flat spade

My huge lower deck...hum, not so much. In fact none of my shovels can even penetrate a top layer. I left it since our first storm for a total of over 15 inches. with the rain it's solid concrete. I can open the door for Ollie. and removed some from my top deck.

Feel bad as when Ollie walks on it, he's literally on top of it, once in awhile poking through.
Reminds me of cutting my legs when younger babysitting at a house behind mine. Somehow through the evening a layer of ice coated the snow. think I bled so wanted to help Ollie. I was wearing a dress in those days.

Nada. This won't melt for a very long time...even with temps in the 30's and 40's...
That's why I always try to get to it right away. Was just too much all at once with rain and ice.

Lisa, there is no doubt about the importance of  the port to the country and I hope they can clear the ship canal fairly fast!   The bridge is another matter and I do not know what they will do about that!   I was wondering if Norfolk could take any o f this!  Problem is that I do not think all ports are capable, equipment, services  and people  etc to handle all kinds of stuff!   A real mess.
The scope of this problem makes snow removal look minor!

One other downer this morning. . .Come on  already  Let the Magpie and dog live together!!!

And . . .

Yeahhhh!  I decided not to toss the new machine in the garbage.  There has been a new level of cooperation that we've reached.  Maybe this will work.

BTW is anyone else here already using and well-versed on an HP Envy 11 combination?  Just as an illustration.  We all know how to turn it on - the button on the top row.  (No longer at the left side top, now at the right side top.) 

Finally gave up the first couple days.  Search the web and Bingo!  You have to turn it off on the bottom of the screen.  Touch the Search key and on the bottom right of the inset is the x box to turn off the machine.  Why and who thought that was a necessity????

KB this is a cool photo  used by the travel company 'Ease My Safari'  for promo on the 3day Maasai Mara tour. And,  yes  this hits ya
in the face with 'Pi'.  ;D

Molly the Magpie should go back the humans and her best girl friend Peggy.  Returning to 'the wild' would not be in Molly's best interest. IMHO



Tsk pretty English Angora rabbit

Karen took Jim forever to get the proceeds from his Publix stock options/sell off.  I do all the weekend driving commencing Friday after 6pm to
sundown Sunday.  And any thing I choose during the week.   Those vertigo exercise are confusing as  for me it's both ears/ sides. I'll figure it out---always do.

Puff glad you kept your 'puter'.

Lani  Tsk's angora rabbit does look lots like a ST 'tribble';  nice digital wildlife flora. It would  be so cool if that boat really was used by Him.  :o

Puff - I had a feeling that subject would come up when a re-build comes along. 
I have the HP Envy 6400, and I do not find it user friendly.  The on/off button is around the back and on the bottom of machine.  And, I like to see a button that says, copy, scan or print to press....not a lighted up button with arrows on it.

Howdy Beakers!

CONGRATS TALON!!

Many of the shipping companies who can't get into the port at Baltimore for delivery have already declared a force majeure, and will deliver their cargo to other eastern coast ports, whichever ones can handle their ship sizes/cargo. The ports in NY/NJ, Norfolk, Wilmington, Savannah, and, maybe others I don't recall now, have already arranged to take those shipments - some to some ports and others to others, of course, depending on schedules/requirements. The force majeure declaration by the shippers relieves them of liability for delivering other than where contracted, and puts the onus on the receiving companies to pick-up those goods at the alternate port destination and transport them to their final destinations. That's what I saw in the news yesterday. The port in my area has issued info that confirms same, and will be receiving some of those shipments. It doesn't mean there won't be interruptions to supply lines and timelines, but it is the workaround that's available at this time.

Rainy day here - lots of rain - the river will crest over flood stage starting tomorrow and last till Monday, but it doesn't look to be a major flood event, and won't affect me. Good news is the forecast total rain amount for me didn't develop, though we got a slog. The Outer Banks of NC has been taking a huge licking from the storm and the coastal low that formed and merged. Other areas around me got 3-4 inches of rain though. It's supposed to stop raining here around sunset, and clear up over night. Full sun and warmer temps will be here after today and through the weekend - yay!

I'm cooking a pork roast, and yummy stuff to go with it. I'm going to cook it today... so off I go to get it in the oven. I will get to have a really big, yummy, later, din-din tonight. Mmm! LOL. Then on to the basketball games!! My UNC Tarheels play at 9:30 (Eastern) tonight. GO HEELS!  :D  (fingers crossed!)


Have a safe and warm evening, All. Peace. SED.

Laptop tsk.  Last one was too.  That's one reason I got back into the same thing - to make for an  easier change.  He ha ha

Let me add too. though.  A waited for a while using a keyboard plugged into my dead HP for a while while the order came in and the tech could switch info over and find time in his sched.  I was just getting comfortable with that difference.  Now I got even more of a difference. 

Talk about a learning experience - I did learn something in the process.  I got a small stand/tray that sits next to my dinette; it holds my tea off to the side.  It even has a raised edge on the outside to catch the next tea I spill while working.  No more adapting!!!!  This is my last computer.!

Hello Beakers

This Tourney is in chaos ...  3 games out of 4 were upsets tonight - U Conn was the only favored team to win....  ::)

Yay for Illinois - One more of our teams today, Purdue.  Hope they follow the trend.

Then there's our baseball losers.  Made some big changes/decisions.  IMO they need to worry more about getting a winning good team together rather than a new stadium.  Winning brings in the crowds/$$$.

Glad to hear Lisa that the worst is over for you.  Now we have to be concerned for E4E.  We are a bit back to nice here.  Sun and warmer reappearing is the reassurance.   Finally improving with the nasty wind, too.  Prayers and concerns for you both.

Plus I just have to mention a news report from this morning -  California, 103 years old, veteran of WWII, in a wheelchair.  Facing a $1,000 fine because a fence has graffiti.  What in the world!!!!  Things are sometimes disgusting and impossible to me; it's so obviously wrong.  It's not the first time.  And where is  the family, neighbors, and friends?

Egg-laying is just around the corner for our peregrine falcons! The earliest layers – Great Spirit Bluff is usually among them – tend to begin in late March, although egg-laying can continue into late May at some of our nests. So when should we look for eggs at Great Spirit Bluff? It depends on a number of factors, including territorial competition, species and individual chronology, nesting experience, and mating history.

Lani, so happy to hear that Mike has a wonderful 3 day weekend to relax with you and the Furkids! He will be a happy man!

karen, I love a good pork roast, with browned potatoes  and gravy, and maybe some lima beans!

I slept later than usual this morning, maybe because I woke up at 3:30 yesterday morning and couldn't go back to sleep... It's almost time to go let the kittens out!

Some interesting postings this morning -

First we get an up close and personal look at the Newman copulation expose'.  Is there no privacy?  Pleeeese!

Loved your falcon presentation and facts Amy.  And thorough - After ?? years there were things I don't remember hearing, reading, or knowing.  Thanks.

Also, getting back to melting -- This one is for you KB.  The Nature 365 contributed by Phyl shows the melting of the snow/ice at Jura in Switzerland.  Is MN being punished for some reasons?   You are made to wait much toooo long.   :(

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: kbshcb on March 29, 2024, 07:59:05 AM

Puff - no not being punished.

It's just the nature of heavy wet snow coupled with rain for 12 hours on top of it, and then more snow.

this combination makes concrete literally....so, even with above freezing temps and sun, it only melts from the bottom up...that takes much longer.

It was crazy to get more than this season's total snow amount in 6 days...and being late March, ice and heavy snow are always possible.

Over the course of the 5 or more months of winter here we don't see consistent types of snow. We get fluffy stuff in late Dec/Jan, and the potential for heavier more moisture laden snow in late fall and late spring.

One must know how to best deal with it depending on which kind of snow and the time of year. Removing it from wood surfaces as quickly as possible for example vs. the tar driveway. The snow will be gone from my grass before the now concrete on my deck.

My shoulder is killing me now after trying to at least move some on the lower deck.  Will rest it and re-attempt come Saturday and hope for some melting on the bottom of the piles.

KB Living in the Chicago area since about 1950 (?) I do know the meaning of "snow affect".  Coming from Colorado I do know - and love winter more than the sweating of horrid summer.  I call myself a snow person!

That being said, I already mentioned my confrontation with a solid 10-18 inch pile of snow with the hotrod in January.  OK so it was instead a chuck of plowed ice.   :(   Took it in for some plastic surgery.  All better!  Never did that before. . .

Weather just now from TV - promising close to 60 today and then 1" size hail and heavy rain tonight.

CLYNN   Tucson  ( I'll never forget my father who said until his later childhood he always pronounced Tuck-son) so I always think of that.  When my friend and I traveled to Tucson to see the desert blooms back in the 80's ( very few that year)  I think we may have missed Mt Lemmon - would be hard to I imagine.  We did considerable hiking  sigh.

EAGLES    Our school trip to DC was when I was junior in high school.  We went to Kennedy's "grave" eternal flame.  No grave site established yet.  Very memorable.

My muscles ached a bit to be back in the pool and MOVING today, but it was a good thing.

TSK - we visited JFK grave in 1964 (when there supporting my Bro's drum n bugle corps at the World's Fair). At the end of the day security told us time to leave. About 20 folks sauntered down the hill. When we got there the gate was locked. We had to climb over a 4 ft. tall by 2 ft. wide (if memory serves) stone wall, to get out! And some of the ladies were in dresses.

HAGD all... and please remember ... we all have more in common than our differences. Let us offer grace to one another, rather than be quick to judge. OK. Off my soapbox and feet up on the easy chair. Keep looking UP. Hugs.

{{{Phyl, Jim and Miss Maggie}}}

Good night!

Lani, thanks. I was so sad for my Tarheels - losing by 2 points  :'(  ... to Alabama!  Just an FYI... I think you meant to say that Arizona lost, not Alabama.  ;)  Arizona lost to Clemson!  And Alabama beat my UNC Tarheels!!  :(

Baz, I meant to write  "Alabama won and ISU lost", both were shocking results. I was going for Clemson  ;D... sometimes my brain moves faster than my typing.

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)


My pork roast dinner last night turned out sooo yummy!  Good thing, because I will be eating it again tonight, and more. LOL! My team's basketball game last night didn't turn out great.  :( :'(  I will be pulling against a couple of teams tonight, and tomorrow.  ;) ;D


I walked 50 minutes today. I took a long loop around to the wooded cypress swamp on the far side of the neighborhood across the main street from my nieghborhood, where the kayak launch is. Along the way, I passed 1 drake Mallard, 1 alligator, 3 White Ibis, 2 Red-Shouldered Hawks, 5 Canada Geese, many Pond Turtles, 3 cute Woo-Woos, and 1 cherubic 5-month old baby on a nice stroll with his dad. What a beautiful day!  :)


Have a good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Phyl, thank you for putting together a list of the Viet Nam Veterans, I will PM you my Dad's information.... so thoughtful of you... Hope you and Jim and Maggie are doing well these days.  :-*

tig, oh my, you had to climb a 4 ft gate, evidently they didn't check to see if everyone was gone! Good thing there were no wheelchairs!

Lisa, that is kind of odd, taking a class of young kids to the French Quarter for the day!  Pretty bodacious! We chose a Senior Trip instead of a prom, we went to Gettysburg, Washington DC and New York. I would have hated to be a chaperone on that trip! I remember this one little pesty kid, we put him in the overhead luggage compartment.

E4E, Harley and the cuties spent a lot of time together today, we are getting there!

tsk, speaking of Tuc-son, someone on the news pronounced Chief Illiniwek all wrong but someone caught it and said it right. It gets me when people pronounce the s at the end of Illinois and Des Moines...  If it's a telemarketer, I correct them before I hang up on them...  ::)

Signing off for the evening, Good Night Dear Beakers!

LANI    LOLOL   Wish my Dad could have seen that!  Of course then we were still in the age of rotary phones  LOL

BAZI   Thanks  I'll correct my notes.  On your hike, where was the partridge in the pear tree?   ;D ;D ;)   That was once great walk.  Would loved to have done it with you. ;)    LOL  so happy to hear someone corrects those telemarketers " Ill- i  noise"   :o ::) ::)

LISA   I think more schools now are doing some sort of 8th grade trip --We did not have that in my era  LOL    You probably could have given the tour on your 8th grade trip LOL

CLynn it's okay to sleep late---LOL I did too. So, you keep S and S shut up at night? Or do they get to spend days on screened in porch? How's Mr. Harley doing?  :-*         Awesome photo of Mount Lemmon Tucson, Arizona

{{{KB/Puff}}} you know your limits---but take care shoveling the snow.

Hi  Eagles I'll try calling Jim'[s and my docs again on Monday. I had two docs I'm to see this Spring retire on me. So hoping I can get my PCP to
add this to my June appt. How cool for your  grandson,  a trip to our nation's capital---District of Columbia is a whole nuther country of it's self.

{{{Tig}}} your words are wisdom to be  followed  :-*  And, a good caption for KB's sunbird; tks for info on Arlington's gate and walls.  ;)

Lani lovely grapes; so glad Mike will be home this long weekend

KB enjoyed your Forked tail Sunbird drinking some nectar.  I like Tg's caption

No high school or grade school trips except for the field  trips in  grade school like a day at the museum of science and industry and such!  There were about 1000 in my high school class!  Who would  chaperone?  Lol
Let the games begin!

As far as I can tell... It seems  South Korea celebrates their own ' South Korean War Day'.    
 See:   https://www.bing.com/search?q=korean+memorial+day&PC=U316&FORM=CHROMN

Tsk - My one and only big memorable school trip was the Senior class overnight trip to Disneyland!  We all went from our HS in several school buses and arrived in the evening at Disneyland, and then loaded back up after a few hours to head back home!   

Lani - So nice that there was a nice sunrise when you were walking Sadie early this morning.  Thank you, yes, looking forward to a nice & quiet Easter weekend.

Puff - That is so nice of you to help folks make their ATF reservations.  You sure provide a lot of good info! :)

Karen - Yum! I bet your pork roast turns out very delicious, and so nice of you to want to share with your neighbor!

Baz - Awe, bummer for your Tarheels.  To lose by only 2 pts really hurts!   Sounds like a good walk!!

LisaG - Interesting about your 8th grade trip! ;D

Clynn - Nice heavenly birthday remembrance for Lindawyo.   Happy that Harley is getting used to being with S&S and maybe one of these days you might them all taking a nap together! ;D

Phyl - I wish you good luck in trying to set up Jim's appts. :)

Thanks Phyl Thanks E4E  Time to get out the word.

Found out last year that quite a few didn't know anything about the pre-arranged rooming.  I've been doing my little bit for about 10 years now.  First, there isn't a big supply in the small town.  Second, I got caught myself looking for where to go and what to do the first two years.  And, talking to others last year I discovered the word wasn't getting out.  Not only is it convenient to know there's supply, and it's not much but helpful to save some money with the lowered cost.  I've suggested to those who want to contribute in some way that they can donate $ saved to Raptor Resource.  It's an easy thing for me since it's my vocation for 30+ years.  Not a biggie - Glad to help.

Since I don't do Facebook or X or youtube it would be fine and very welcomed if y'all help. I'll be making a couple other contacts to some others who might help spread the word.

I will most happily modify my original post. And, update my template for next year.  :-*

Karen, LG was a great actor, I enjoyed all his movies.... I agree, it looks like UCONN will win it, but there's still a chance for another team. NC state is playing tough.

Oldguy, I agree, Houston lost it was a tough game! ISU lost... WOW! Big 12 is out! I thought for sure Houston would make the Final Four. Thanks for links, I'll watch the updates.

Tsk, Sorry about Marquette. My bracket sheet is such a mess.  :(

Phyl, The vineyard and the light .... Tennessee won over Creighton!

{{{BL, Pip and Kopje}}} beautiful view from an honored place. Thanks for music. Love Smoky!

Clynn, beautiful post for Lindawyo.... good news about Harley and his siblings.  :-* ... What a special senior trip... we didn't have special trips other than sports events during my highschool years.... I watched Renovation Aloha last night, my sister lives in Mililani where the newest episode was made. I had Mike watch the first episode of the show ( on Discovery +) with me today.

Eagles, What a fun senior trip...  I've never been to Disneyland or Orlando. Been to Six Flags!  ;D

Good night!

Phyl, love watching geese in the water... Amy's Blog, good as usual! Interesting White House Easter Egg Roll video! We are at 40, high 60 today. Do you know if you have any Bluebird eggs yet?

Lani, Sophie is winning Harley over, she just won't give up making friends with the Big Orange Guy! She gets as close to him as she can! Harley was upstairs most of the afternoon and evening and it's going well! They all spent a lot of time on the deck yesterday, today won't be as nice as it was yesterday. They all love to be on the deck, it's like going to the movies with all the birds, squirrels and chipmunks around the feeders! So glad you got to see Renovation Aloha at a place you know! I love that the show has a lot about history and family traditions, love learning more about your birthplace! I have been to Six Flags in Missouri, is that the one you have been to?

oldguy, great views of the Iceland volcano, the flowing lava is mesmerizing... If you didn't watch the TV series Bones you wouldn't know that Billy Gibbons plays the part of Angels's dad. He has several appearances on several episodes!

E4E, yes, hopefully it won't be much longer until Harley and Sam and Sophie can all be together all the time! I still have to figure out the feeding situation though, Harley loves to get a chance to eat some the Kitten Chow! And he doesn't need it, not only because the Vet said he could stand to lose a little weight (fat chance of that) but because his dry food is prescription and very expensive and it is moderate calorie and what he needs! They all get a small can of wet food each day, half in the AM, half in the PM. And treats!

BL, I found a video of your hike! Maybe you and Pip are in the video!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWQ68zfa_48

tig, we went to Arlington when we were in DC on our Senior Trip. It was very beautiful, I remember seeing a headstone of a friend and her father. the family lived in the housing we lived in, she and her dad were killed in an automobile crash, both buried in Arlington. What were the odds of that... The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, very sombering...

LANI   Has your sister seen the new house in Mililani? or the crew working/filming?   I've never been to Disneyland either.  Good night pup  ;D

PHYL    Some good videos in this bunch from Amy's blog  Thanks     Man and black and white cat  LOL

Just heard interview of chapel director for family of Officer Johnathan Diller.  It's reported that family met with President Trump in a private room.  Grandma approached him and asked for a hug.  You know how I feel about hugs.  They had the whole room in tears.  President Trump also signed a mass card for Grandmother.

Going to be a rough day for them all.  HUGS HUGS for all, and more HUGS    :'(

Oh, and where was the other guy?  Doing PR for $$$$$$.

clynn - Your senior trip sounded like fun.  LOL, pesky kid!

tsk - Yes!  I could have given that tour.  :D  Awww, love the pic of Lulu on Tim's lap. 

karen - Wow, that was a big high school class!

E4E - The interesting thing, the principal came with us...Sr Elaine.  When the school year was over, she left the sisterhood.  Guess she had too much fun in the French Quarter that day!  ;D

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.  :)

Lani - Good night pup, adorable!

Phyl - Adorable morning, How ya doing kitty!  Thanks for links.

Off to do some shopping....be back later!

Maybe a little too political this am, Puff !
Tsk, Lulu looks comfortable!  Lol.  Looks like Tim cannot move!  At least that is who I think that is!
Yes, says Lisa!
I have been to Disney World several times as an afult and enjoyed it!  No rides but the plantings and flowers were spectacular, the place was immaculate, the Christmas lights said to be amazing!   I would recommend a day at least!
Meant to mention Lani’s goodnite pup!  He has been here before, quite a wardrobe and absolutely adorable!  I want him!
Roast in the oven!   Hair curled and the day underway!

BL - just for fun, I found this layout of the Waleswood Estate Property online.
My house was built across the street from now Life Church at the very top of this pic.. Was an elementary school before a church nestled in the woods. At 9 years old I walked across the street to the excavators ripping up my woods and asked them to please leave all our forts when they were preparing for the school.

The stone bridge would be and still is above the Words Waleswood Estates at the sharp turn/curve of Overlook Drive.

The first time I got to Disneyworld, 25? , I stood on Main street looking at the castle and cried.  Ton gave me a hug.  I watched over many years while they actually built it and expanded it.  I'll have to check things out for myself about the "reorganization" of all things Disneyworld.  They're trying, many new programs and constructions being done.  Two fav memories of mine:  We once ran into Mickey on a back path all by himself.  He got on his knees and kissed my hand.  I threatened Ton with bodily injury if he blew the pic!  I have that pic.  Second super memory was watching the parade - on my birthday trip to Disneyworld.  If you know about it and make the prearrangements, they do help you celebrate.  So when you get to your room, there's recognition, and there's the large "Happy Birthday" button you get to wear.  The "cast" of workers is well versed on watching for that button and giving special treatment of some ilk to the person wearing it.  Maybe just a pencil or a free little ice cream. . . .I still remember when, during the parade, someone on the float being a Prince, and being miked, pointed and wished me Happy Birthday.  The others around me, watching the parade, started singing Happy Birthday to me.   Happy memories. . .Love the Mick.   

Been there a few times, you can imagine.  Truth be told - my final plans say part of my ashes will be by the statue of Walt and Mickey in front of the castle.  On a whole different level, for those closer to Disneyland, I enjoyed Knotts Berry Farm more than Disneyland.  No comparison.  In CA there's also Sea World, Huntington Beach, and the San Diego Zoo.  Winner to me is Disneyworld.  You know Walt was from south side Chicago?.

KB I hope some of that sanctuary has survived.  Was a loverly spot to grow up.

The drone craze gave me views and thoughts recently.  Took pics for Tribune article showing a couple locations of neighborhoods in Chicago - then also showed my small town, about 8 miles from city line.  There are basically few to be found trees even in residential areas of Chgo.  Talk about the quality of life!  Progress?  Somewhere I decided I wanted different, I wanted better, better for so many reasons.

Puff - I've been to all of the above in CA many times...but, never to Disneyworld in FL.

I do now wonder if my first ride in Disneyland, 8 or 9 years old, I got scared....and never again in life liked to ride roller coasters!....LOL...I am not sure if the ride in Disneyland was actually real scary but nevertheless.

San Diego zoo is one of the best I think...whenever anyone visited me when I lived in CA I of course took them to as many of the above venues as I could....I took Chris to Knox Berry Farm before he was even 1 years old so I doubt he remembers.

When we moved back home to Minnesota I took Chris to Nine Mile Creek/MN river bottoms, my old childhood haunt, so many many times....the area in my picture of the old Waleswood Estates..The creek is barely visible but it drains into the river and also is app 9 miles north of this picture.
I walked through the woods by myself when I went to Jr. High School as well.
Twas lovely.

TSK, notes? Maybe you're referring to Lil Punkin's b'day... I have never said when her birthday is, on purpose, for her anonimity and privacy reasons. Same reason I've scrubbed out identifying info from photos of the kids, and have never said my family members' names. Some people are not trustworthy.  :(  LOL, no partridges!  ;) :D :D

KAREN   Disneyworld I have been to twice and that was enough  LOL       So much continues to be added that you would need another whole day to see the new stuff.  I bet that roast will turn out just fine despite it wasn't what you ordered.

PUFF   Great memory of your favorite times at Disneyworld.  I was at Knotts Berry Farm but have no memory of it.  Think it had to be in the 70s   You are very inspiring to say the least... :-*

KB  You time in Calif. was a good place to be to take friends to all those great locations.  I think the San Diego Zoo is one of the best in the nation?

TSK, awww... look at sweet Lulu - loving her dream time in Tim's lap.  :-*  Sorry about Marquette.

Lisa, LOL on Sr Elaine and the French Quarter!!  ;D ;D

Karen, I hope your roast turns out tasty. I agree with you, that post was too political, and doesn't belong anywhere in the RRP Forum!! There are rules about that, and we know why. There are appropriate places for political opinion, but nowhere in RRP's Forum is it appropriate to express them!

Lori, lots of good cat stuff for Caturday! How are you and Destini doing these days?  Hope you are both peachy!

Lisa, Mom says we went to Disneyland when we were stationed in Phoenix but I don't remember much about it. Ed and I drove to Florida way back, we went to Epcot instead of Disney World, it was wonderful!  You don't hear much about Epcot, it's all about different countries and their food, etc.

baz, I know you never gave us Lil' Punkin's birthday but for some reason I think you maybe said it was in April. I remember thinking she was only a couple of months younger than Bella. Good for you walking a good one again today! And I totally agree with you, political comments are uncalled for in the Beak. Causes nothing but hard feelings... And I now have some...

tsk, love the picture pf Lulu on Tim's lap! Sam and Sophie are snoozing, they played quite hard on the deck earlier, Sam was chasing his shadow, it was so cute!  I do remember Knott's Berry Farm, sometime in the 60's!

Kitchen cleaned up! 
Watching Illinois! Lisa, Epcot is interesting. But I think you would love a half day at Disney world!  If I were going again I would go when the Christmas lights were up and before kids get out of school for the holidays!  Half time almost over!    Next up, two big football schools play each other in bB!  Lol

Lots of good Caturdays...

All this reminiscing about attractions in California--- reminds me of all I've seen and done in my home state...the natural wonders in the great redwoods and Joshua Tree Nat'l Monument only few miles away from my childhood home.  Disneyland when my parents chaperoned Larry's Senior Class trip; Movieland  Wax Museum in Buena Park; Knott's Berry Farm, San Diego Zoo; SeaWorld  to name a few. Seen lots in Florida The Manatee park, DisneyWorld, Tomorrow Land and Epcot, Universal Studios, Orlando, Thomas
Edison's house and Earnest Hemmingway house, Key West,  of course Miami and Miami Beach.  And many points in between in many states.  We've all been to lots of places and have lots of great memories to treasure and share. Thanks.

T40 nice to see you and back in top form  ;) 

Lani cute pooch glad he decided to snooze with us again; sweet  Russian Blue having a bath.

{{{CLynn}}} Goblin Valley State Park in Utah  :o;  tks for update on Sam , Sophie and Harley ; cute snaps of Talon/Bella, Sam/Sophie

Tsk oh goodness---that rabbit and 'mini chocolate eggs' ; and there's Lulu making herself comfy on Tim's lap  ;)

{{{Puff}}}no doubt  it is going difficult  for Officer Johnathan Diller's family during the wake and in the future---how wonderful there was such amazing and loving support shown by so many   ; like Lani,  thinking about you this Easter.

The gray fox is the only canid native to North America with the ability to climb trees? With semi-retractable hooked claws, this #fox looks for food and avoids predators by ascending the tallest of trees and jumping from limb to limb.

Lisa, cute Easter Bunny! I have Easter baskets for the kids, I am sure that you have one for Sydney too!  Squishmallow bunny for Bella, weapon for Talon! Women are the peacemakers! We choose Squishmallows over weapons!

Phyl, beautiful Easter picture... Cute little black caps in the 365, sounds like Spring!

Lani, have a wonderful day today, hope Shannon is doing well!

E4E, yes, the Munchkins are cuties, but boy, Bella can make a hot mess in record time! She decided on drawing yesterday, she drew a bunny!

Good to see you here Pauli!   Cheers  to al the cheerios too!

Missing an Easter Lily this year!   Bought them for many years and planted them in the yard.  They came up in the spring  for several years!
I kept about a half a pound of the pork roast and gave over
8 pounds to  the neighbor. 
Lani, love the Easter Bunny in her Easter Hat!
Clynn, you have to subscribeto watch the service.  Lovely cathedral though!

Very interesting kb. I had no idea Gray Fox were such good tree climbers.
I've seen many in the wild but never up in a tree !   :o

Happy Day, Beakers.  :)

I walked 33 minutes. It's sunny and very, very warm here - another beautiful day.  :)  I could've used a longer walk, especially after a very filling late brunch/lunch of Quiche Lorraine, roasted fresh asparagus, and buttermilk biscuits with butter and apricot jam. Yum. Had extra coffee this morning.

Purdue just won over Tennessee, in a close game, and they are headed to the Final Four.

I am waiting for the next game to begin, with extra interest since both teams are conference rivals of my Tarheels... and I will NOT be pulling for anyone wearing dark blue!  ;D 8)


BL, I also didn't know the gray fox was that adept at climbing, though I knew they could get in trees. There are many grey foxes around where I live, and I have seen them sleeping on the ground in bushy cover, and at their dens, but I've never been lucky enough to see one as much as 30 ft up in a tree hollow, or in tree branches that high. Pretty cool. Is the snow forecast for early this week in the northeast coming to your home neighborhood?

Clynn, fun pics of Bella, the Dishwasher, and Talon. LOL!  :-* Nice artwork from Bella, too. Sam and Sophie have a lot of fun together. Glad Harley is spending more time around them, and Sophie is not giving up on winning Harley's friendship.  :D Norwich Cathedral is pretty. Yes, the un-called-for political comments in a post in Forum's Beak Room yesterday is a negative thing, and also makes for some hard feelings. It shouldn't be there.  RRP's Forum rules need to be respected.

E4E, I hope you won't get any more water in your garage! The atmospheric rivers keep on coming to the west coast!

TSK, did I see several inches of snow in your forecast for the next couple of days?

Lisa, my sister will be in Baltimore this week, meeting her son and his 4 kids (the 2 sets of twins), to enjoy some Spring Break. Among other things, they will be visiting the Baltimore Aquarium, and also taking the kids for some sightseeing in DC. The weather forecast is dicey for part of their trip, but I hope it won't stop them from getting out to see things. It sounds like you will luck out of getting the colder precip of snow that is coming for points west and north of you - some of it measuring in feet. Does the detour around the closed part of that Baltimore  loop that included the collapsed Key Bridge affect Jeff's commute to work each day? I hope not.

Karen, glad your roast was yummy. Wow, it was big!! So nice to share it with your neighbor who will enjoy it, too. Mine was 3 lbs, and I have frozen some of the leftovers in meal-size portions to enjoy again later.


I'm away to watch the basketball game starting now on CBS.

Waving to All the Beakers. Take care, All.

tsk - That was a close game.

Hello Beakers

It was a busy weekend at work - garden center was very busy - lots of flowers, trees, shrubs, seeds and soils went out the door...

The Easter family gathering was this afternoon after I got off work - host was 2 bachelor sons of our "like family" friends - they provided the smoked pork loin, broccoli cheese dip and other assorted appetizers.  The rest was pot luck... ;) 

North Car. St teams are still upsetting higher seeds in both men and women brackets - Iowa will play LSU Monday at 6pm - forecasts have Iowa favored by 1.5 and are expecting viewer numbers to set new records... ;D

Phyl, the crocus, one of the first signs of Spring!

oldguy, things are buzzing at Menards! It was a bit dreary here yesterday but I am sure their parking lot was full! People get the Spring fever this time of year and want to plant things!  Sounds like you had a good Easter Sunday with lots of good eats!

Lani, hope your visit with Shannon was good! Did she drive to Payson or did you and Mike drive to her house? I can't remember! Ed didn't feel good yesterday, we postponed our Easter dinner to Friday, but they did bring the kids over to get their Easter Baskets!

BL, totally understand your post!  (April Fools!)

tig, glad you were able to get together with some family! The gals across the street brought me 2 slices of carrot cake that looks decadent. I have been nibbling at it...

Phyl, I watched some of the Norwich Cathedral service too!  This is also where they have a falcon nest in the upper spires, only they don't call them falcons, they call them peregrines. There are 3 eggs in the nest so far.  Norwich was about 25 miles from where we lived in England. https://hawkandowltrust.org/live-cameras/norwich-cathedral-peregrines

Lori, lots of pretty Easter pics, hope you had a good one!

April Fools Day!
63 no going to 81.  Humidity is 91% and non rain in the forecast!

Jackie brought my container back last night with a plate of mac and cheese and a cup of green beans.  A box with a chocolate rabbit!  I ate on that  all evening and out it back in the box .   My perfect dog ate the rest!  She is still with us and acting normal this morning!   Have a call into her pediatrician!   Had a dog, as a child who ate an entire one pound box of Fannie Mae chocolates  with no consequences!   Had the box and all the little papers under a skirted living room chair!    This rabbit was a Russel Stovers!
Time to finish my taxes today!  I am owed some dollar’s so should have done this already!   My eye sight  has delayed me!

Excuses, excuses!
Hope Ed is feeling better!
OG, sounds like a good Easter party!

I guess that's what they might be called...  ;D  Oh no, you caught the cold from Jim?  Do you usually have a fever with a cold? it sounds like a little more than a cold? Take care girl, that's an order...   Thanks for all the info on the eclipse! I will read it later this morning!

Lani, beautiful sunset, hope you have a good day today! It's been chilly and damp here too. Waiting for the sun to break out!

E4E, Ed was feeling better yesterday afternoon, hopefully he will be back to normal this morning!

oldguy, good video of the work on the bridge, what a HUGE mess. One can only fathom the size of the container ship when you realize each one of those containers is the size of a semi trailer! The bridge looked like matchsticks when it was falling but up close you can see how big these steel pieces really are.

karen, hoping and praying Piper is fine this morning, glad you called Dr. Hall!

tsk, we had a drizzly day yesterday though no real rain. No snow in the forecast here! But the warm next weekend that was in the forecast is gone, now in the 50s instead of the 70's. Maybe it will change again!

baz, great family pictures, it's fun trying to keep all the kids and nieces, sisters, etc straight! You have a wonderful family, love how you all keep in touch and share pictures! Reminds me that I need to call my Texas sister today!

Lisa, I would not like your bridge in yukky weather! I am going to spend a week with Mom, leaving on the 13th, returning on the 21st. So far no rain in the forecast, I hate driving in the rain, this will be my first trip since my eye issue.  I think I will have to keep my left eye covered up for the drive.

PHYL  Had the same cold a month ago.  Zicam shortens it I think.  It's the fever that gets to you  HUGS  I thought the video was really good on the eclipse.  May catch some of the others at lunch.. Thanks

OLDGUY  Congrats to Iowa - Good game.  ;D  Will finish the bridge story at lunch.

CLYNN  Love the vases of fresh flowers  :)  We also have the change for next weekend - 50's instead of 60s  :(  You are very brave to drive those 8 hours.  Patch is a good idea but your brain has had some time to adapt.  Do you see any difference?

Another rainy day here, and tomorrow is not looking any better.

tsk - So glad to read that all the pups did well. 

karen - Glad to hear that Piper is doing OK. 

Phyl - Oh no, I hope you feel better soon!  Thanks for the info on eclipse.  Heard on the news this morning, that they were going to try and lift and move the heaviest piece of the bridge.  Not sure when that is supposed to happen. 
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/52/89/17/528917c87cb5cdbed5f16d765df9dcd6.jpg) 

oldguy - WTG Iowa!!

E4E - Thanks, we did.   :)

clynn - Love the flowers in the colored bottles.  Yes, driving on the bridge in the yucky weather is not fun.  Are you driving my yourself?  Please be careful.

No night swimming after that!

Deb, hello there! So good to see you!

Lani, thanks for the update on the Albies, they are growing fast!  How nice of the company to give the employees the day off for the eclipse!  I looked out the window about an hour ago, it was SNOWING! Light ground cover, it's all gone now, the streets are just wet. I am watching Renovation Aloha, the last one sold for $2,160,000.00. Now they are doing a small one! I get other things done during the commercials... ::)

tig, Happy Wash Day!

kb, what a sweet puppy! He looks like a good boy!

Lisa, yes, I will be driving to Mom's by myself, Kelsey will be with me in July when we go again. Then there might be another trip later in the Fall, and then Christmas (Ed drives that one!). We are all trying to go more, Mom will be 90 in November and it's starting to catch up with her. Becky and Jennifer have been coming twice a year, they usually stay 2-3 weeks. and Cathy is the wild card. Her husband seems to be going downhill , he just turned 79 and has all kinds of issues. They live near Dallas and she spends most of her time being at his beck and call. (He is not my favorite person, can you tell?).

tsk, we got about an hour of light snow, it's mostly gone now! It seems like my eye is very gradually getting better, just the distortion in the middle but it seems to be getting smaller. Still interferes with focus, perfectly fine if I close my left eye!

Hellgate Canyon - Iris's heart has been refurbished and is awaiting her return.

CLYNN  Good to hear you are even getting some improvement in your eye.  :)  Brother-in-laws ::)  What can you do  ::)  I'm sure Cathy misses being able to visit Mom which made it so nice that you got Mom there last year.  Don't know that I ever saw Iris's heart before. So pretty.

Had a nice day with my mom; picked her up at 9:30 this morning, then drove her to see her SIL (about a 35 min drive).  Her SIL recently went into a 'rest' home.  After we left, we picked up some lunch and went home.  Then I got busy to catch up on a few things around home.

I checked in on the nests this morning - Sometimes it just ain't easy being an eagle.   :(

What would really be great is a weekend stay at the Big Sur Lodge.

IMHO because I've done both - There's a lot of mention about the Cliffs of Moher/Ring of Kerry sights down the west coast of Ireland.  It is a must ride when you're there.  But - #1 has got to be Big Sur and the PCH/Pacific Coast Highway.

Lani, I have always wondered how far the North Nest is from Decorah! This isn't the first time there was a good bit of snow at North and none in Decorah! Wonder how many eggs Mother Goose at N1 is brooding, I bet Lisa knows! Iris should be arriving soon, I hope this year is good...

BL, thanks for the Santana...smooth...

E4E, I was looking up some more pictures of Big Sur Lodge and there was a warning that it is not accessible from Highway 1 due to a 'slip-out'! It is a beautiful place, would love to go there!

oldguy, outstanding stats on the game! We only had snow for about an hour yesterday, sunshine in the afternoon.

tsk, I bet Caitlin will be on the Wheaties box soon! Did you get much snow yesterday? TWC says possible snow showers this morning but I don't think so, it's 36 but it's windy, as usual!

Lisa, so you also wonder about the North snow, Decorah no snow phenomenon. I think it just means the North nest is not as close as we think, doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things!

karen, I hope the storm went tight over you with no issues! Piper still okay?

Good Morning Everyone....

Currently: 45F cloudy , scattered light  rain showers, High  55F light rain,  Low 42F


I did get some extra sleep  yesterday...and felt  a bit better for it. But still 'broken' sleep pattern. My ears really hurt, sore throat no better, may have to go to a clinic for some help.  LOL I sound so squeaky / raspy ... usually just 'ride out' most 'stuff' and let the body heal on it's own.  :(  not so this time.
Everyone thanks for the 'Get Well' wishes.
When I'm feeling bad Maggie is no bother. Cat's purrs are
healing. Cats cuddle with humans when they know they are ill.   
As long as she stays away from my face-- ;)
The eclipse info I had it ready to post ahead of time .
Back to bed I'll go...


Quickly:
CLynn glad there's some eye improvement; safe travels to your mom's as you drive solo

Lani  nice idea from Mike's boss w/ the eclipse

Karen/Piper be safe w/storms

KB cute G. Shepherd puppy

Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

OLDGUY   I did see that Hy-Vee cereal when searching  LOLOL

KAREN   Hope you are not getting storms as bad as predicted as I type this.

EAGLES  Nice day with Mom.  Gives Sis a break too.  ;) ;)

PUFF  Agree about PCH.  But drive it south to north  LOLOL   Think I heard part of the hwy was closed due to mudslide?

CLYNN  Love the farmhouse window  ;D  We have a little rain/snow mix going on right now and supposedly all day.     I don't know how far the city limits of Decorah go...  Imagined the North nest closer to Mn border?   34 degrees heading to 38  Burrr   Upper Iowa river is beautiful.

Good Morning!  Hopefully we have dodged a bullet here!   Dark as pitch with rain for a few more hours but not windy!  Tornado watch until 1 pm!  Piper got up, went outside and came right back in, saying it was nasty out there and is now sound asleep.   Weather just said, showers will end later this morning bring in cooler and drier air!   Have not cancelled tornado watch. Tho!  Think I heard there was a lot of damage in Louisville and Ohio!  Wish there was a magic trick to fix climate change!   Even more troubling in an El Nino year!

Good Morning Beakers

Snowing here again this morning - some accumulation on roofs and cars - slight bit on grass.  This is still the back side of yesterday's storm - expecting to end this afternoon with a high of 40.  Gradual increase in highs this week, with 60s by Mon. and partly cloudy for eclipse time.

The North nest is about 10 to 15 miles to the NNE of the Hatchery.

Here is a report on the PCH from yesterday...

karen - I hope you are out of the woods with that weather.  It looks like we are to get some storms between 12:45 and 3pm.

Thanks for the links, even tho you do not need to when you are feeling bad. 

clynn - Pretty last pic with the flowers and fruit.   I have a feeling that the North nest isn't as close to Decorah as one might think.  The weather sure seems different at times. 

Puff - I agree not a good day to be any birdy in Decorah.

Lani - Good pics from the Deocrah nests.

OLDGUY    My friends in the UP are really getting dumped on.  Power out in some areas.   Thanks for the North nest perspective to the Hatchery nests.  Now I know what the term "slip-out" means. US1 That is the trouble with not having an alternate way around the problem.  How on earth do you fix something like that?

KAREN   Good news so far on your weather.  :)

LISA   Hey, Just when Amy predicted a hatch, there is T1? at Trempealeau  ;D

My twin "greats" are having a good time visiting sights in DC this week, and dodging the rain and storms as much as they can. They've been caught by some downpours several days. Over the last couple of days, they have visited some of the Smithsonian museums, and have spent time visiting some of the memorials and monuments along and around The Mall.

Hi Lani - I wish I could share the full experience.  The rest of the two views would help.  For sure you got the effect of the high, huge, long expanse.  What you don't see causes me to opt for PCH.  Behind the cliffs there is not much to see.  There are roads perpendicular to the cliffs and ocean front, maybe 1/2 mile drive in. It's open full fields of flat grass.  In CA there are roads right along the side, green foilage and plants and huge forests of high/beautiful trees, sometime even cattle grazing by PCH.  Let me mention too houses, restaurants, golf courses, beaches (hard to get to, but surfers at the bottom?), the sound of the crashing waves.  The overall special effects add the extra punch.  I'll always try to get any of my clients going to or thru CA to spend a day on the oceanfront if they've never had the experience.

For those wondering how far north the North Nest is from the hatchery it's about 8/10 of a mile south of the MN/IA state line. So it's definitely not within Decorah city limits and it"s just inside of Winneshiek County,IA.   :)

The PCH is a wonderful experience as is the Blue Ridge  Parkway , Lake Shore Drive. Etc!    I think they will need several cases of Gorilla Glue and a good engineer to repair the PCH.
Piper stayed in the house until 1 pm today!   Said it was too wet!   Been out several times since as it has turned into a pretty, sunny, low humidity day!   Temps are lower as well!   Sorry For all who. Got slammed by the storm!

The picture of tge .North nest is interesting as I always think of it being at the edge of a cow pasture!   Maybe it is!

Shunks. Are beautiful little animals!  My understanding  is that they only spray if alarmed pr scared!  lisa,  You can start going out with food and talking to Pepe while you put it down!    Gradually he will come running to you!   Lol
Thats. Enough fun for one  day!   All be safe, well and seds.

Bl - Always love Santana!   Thanks for explaining the area of DNN  :)

Lani - No, I have not stayed at the Big Sur Lodge, but we have stayed in a cabin at Pfeiffer State Park and I have a family history of camping at Big Sur.  My Dad & Mom took us kids camping in Big Sur when we were young, and then later, I took my kids camping to the same areas. Wonderful memories!
Like the Mother Goose pics - thank you!

Puff - You are correct about the Big Sur area and the Pacific Coast Hwy - so beautiful!

Clynn - A few days ago there was part of the roadway that slipped down into the ocean and now a lot of places in Big Sur can't be visited as they've had to close the road.  The ground is soaked from the recent rains.
I too, have wondered how far the Decorah nests are from Decorah North nest!   Beautiful Upper Iowa River pics!

Phyl - Good you got a little more sleep.  Hope you feel better soon.  Thanks for Amy's blog and all the links!

Tsk - Yes, it was nice that my sis got a little break.  She had a few errands to run, so it was just my Mom and I for a few hours!

Karen - Hope you & Piper stay safe in your weather situation.

Og - Great footage on the slides here in CA!

LisaG - Beautiful pic @ Trempealeau nest - sweet little one!!

Kb - Wow that was a windy walk you & Ollie had this morning!

Baz - What fun for your 'Greats'!!  Great pics!!

Beakers have a good night - SEDs  :)

One of our resident squirrels came up about 4:31 pm for a quick meal. There was Dad #2
 (offspring CR #49)     standing guard over his nest. I know a cell phone isn't the photo quality matching that
of a high quality professional camera or a research nest cam. We're just a common 'mom and pop' nature loving couple
that were blessed 22 years ago with a pair of human loving wild bluebirds that through the generations have chosen to nest
in our nesting boxes repeatedly for some mysterious reason.

tsk, more snow? So I looked at TWC radar, it's coming from the northeast. Lake effect snow? We are having sun today...

Phyl, awww, you have babies again! Good pictures! Do you have two Bluebird nest boxes? The squirrel is keeping watch!  The Pasque flowers are very pretty, I have crocus and a couple of hyacinths. Glad to hear Jim is taking you to the Clinic, are you feeling any better? 31 here now, high 54 today, not as windy as yesterday!

E4E, wow, is there only one way into Big Sur? That doesn't look like a very easy road fix!

Lani, love the good night pics from Decorah and North, they look so peaceful... And the pic of the snow and the North Nest, it's a good one. Love those eagles!

karen, I have been to the Pacific Coast Highway, the Blue Ridge Parkway and Lake Shore Drive! All are beautiful!

Post by: Puff on April 04, 2024, 10:03:07 AM

OK clynn  A new set of memories started because of Lake Shore Drive (LSD) song.  That's the neighborhood where I grew up in Chicago, now referred to as Old Town.  We lived about a mile from the beach and LSD from about 6 or 7 years of age til about 13.  Then we moved to Midway airport area.  I had to have spent 3 or 4 days a week at North Avenue beach in my summers at the beach.  I also recall my brother and his fishing - nothing better than a fresh caught smelt netted and cooked for dinner the same day.  He also had a boat to take out early mornings before work for lake perch or trout.  He had a fisherman's location.  He did move to city boundary (O'Hare) but still would drag the boat in to fish whenever.  But, my information and the song and video don't match.  They were traveling north by famous Oak Street beach on LSD not south.  The giveaway would be the passenger side is next to the lake; and in the background the Hancock building is getting smaller.  I moved from the city in 1971, I resigned teaching 1994.  Now my only connection would be an occasional game day with the White Sox.  Lots of time and facts gleaned.  Fortunately the Loop and Drive are keeping their image.  I do wish them success in restoring its crowds and lovely lifestyle. 

But there is another memory - because of the background image of the Hancock Building.  My Dad, brothers, and 1st husband were boilermakers/welders.  Dad helped to construct the two antenna at the the top of the building.  At construction, the building had 95 floors.  The construction took him up a whole lot higher.  He did take some awesome pics that I still have in my memory box and in my head. There are quite a few times that some of you here have mentioned their own ties to my area.  You just might have some reminders too of the past.

Another bit of discovery/education.  The celebration of life funeral activities showed a flag I knew nothing about.  I know the Chicago flag, I lived with it or near it until, as I said, about 1994.  Quick lesson of the day on Chicago flag when you might like.  Two blue stripes represent Lake Michigan and the Chicago River.  There are 4 red stars across the middle white representing first Fort Dearborn and the area created by DuSable; there's a star for the remembrance of the Great Fire in 1871; and, there are 2 stars in recognition of the two worlds' fairs in 1893 and 1933.  BUT, what was the green and white flag used this weekend? 

The flag has 5 green and white stripes, representing the 5 boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island).  And, on a field of blue are 24 stars representing the number of towns, cities, and villages incorporated into a city in 1898.  The flag was introduced in 1919, was 100 years old 2019, now 105 years old.  But it's not the city flag.  NYC has Blue, white, orange panels with the city seal in the middle. 

What was used in honor over the weekend was the New York City Police Department flag.
Chicago also has a Chicago Police Department Flag.  They merely modified the Chicago flag by using their blue and white checkerboard pattern to outline the Chicago flag as a sign that they serve the surrounded city.  They also use the city seal in the center.

Two new learnings for the day - and more fantastic memories.  Thanks for your time group.

CLYNN  No snow here.  Intermittent rain however.  Yes great song LSD.  You'd like to have that song blaring on the radio when you drive it/.  FYI  Big stink when it happened but it is now officially called Du Sable Lake Shore Drive  sigh...

That's one thing I liked about a return flight from Florida ( night is the best)   - the plane is out over the Lake going north and if you are on the west side of the plane the view is amazing.  Then the plane turns west and you fly over the City and come in to O'Hare over the Kennedy xway.  ;)   Beautiful, stark view of Monument Valley  :o

KAREN   Our planting zone here in Chicago has changed this year from a 5 to a 6a.  We are now considered "warmer".   LSD is a big classic song here for obvious reasons.   ;D

PUFF   So enjoyed your history lesson this AM.  I'm going to go back and look at the video closer  LOL

LANI   What was Mike's destination in Mn??  That is somewhere he doesn't usually go.

Good Morning Beakers!

BL, have you been to the North Nest or have you located it via your wizardry with maps? I can visualize you searching for it online...

Clynn I have been to the area of the DNN many years ago, 20+.

I waded & fly fished for wild native trout in the Creek that flows through the cow pasture/farm right in front of the nest.
There were no BE's present in the area when we where there.   :(

A friend of mine who use to live in Caledonia, MN turned me on to this 'secret' fishing spot.
There are awesome trout to be had in that Creek as my krill can attest to.   ;D

When RRP installed the DNN camera in 2015 I recognized the area immediately.
I highly respect the land owners and RRP's decision to keep the nest location undisclosed.   8)

Hallelujah!....I got my internet back. Had comcast/xfinity out for the last 3 hours.
After 20 plus years someone who knew what they were doing evaluated the cable from the pole to the house and it was junk.
Chris and I have been trying to "fix" it ourselves etc...

The cable had all kinds of "knicks" in it....dang squirrels...'Bout time though with a cable that old.

Works like a charm now..including our other devices like tv....we are now getting speeds that we were before fix paying for!

Lani - cause I live a block away from Minneapolis, if Mike needs anything or to find something/anything, let me know. I can try as i do know the area, LOL

Tsk, think there may be a drive similar to lsd in Milwaukee or Northern suburbs.  Had a college friend from Theinsvilke and one from a. Tiny  town  north of there.  Don’t remember the name of it and a google search did not bring it up!   Pretty drive with lovely homes on the lake!    The flight into  Chicago is fabulous!   There is also a flight into  DC   That is beautiful. At night!

E23 is still coming home at night and waiting for M to bring breakfast!   He chases a SA out of the nest tree the  other day!  Got help from Dad!   In a way I wish they would band the kids as it could well be some of tgem are  famiky!  Who is to know!

Bl, you are quite the outdoor traveling man!   Would love some of tgat fresh trout!

Phyl, oh those little North babies! Looks like a big piece of fur next to them in the nest! Maybe they can cuddle with it!

Lani, Ed is back to normal, I told him thank goodness, I was almost out of underwear!  ::) Suzie Wong's Chinese Laundry was closed while he was sick but it's up and running again! Love the duck in the marathon, glad he got a medal!

BL, wow, and you recognized the area around the North Nest! You have a very good memory! I wonder if your fishing spot is stocked by the Decorah Hatchery? Oh, and is your age a secret or can you tell us how old you are? You don't have to say if you don't want to... just curious, you seem young. Must be because you are always off exploring somewhere!

tsk, what does the Du Sable mean, and I wonder why they would just stick it on Lake Shore Drive? Sounds kind of dufus! There must have been a new street somewhere they could have named Du Sable Drive instead of messing with a long-lived tradition.  I found this, is there even more to the name?
Lake Shore Drive will now henceforth be known as Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive!  It’s happened, folks. Chicago’s beloved Lake Shore Drive has a new name. 17 miles of outer Lake Shore Drive from Hollywood Avenue to East 67th Street will now be known as Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive in honor of the first non-Indigenous settler of Chicago.

kb, kind of the same thing with my Mom, her internet was so slow (rural) and when they came they said her modem was old. They installed a new one and the internet is zipping!

karen, I have flown into Chicago several times, it is a beautiful sight! Didn't there used to be a little airport that was on the water? Migs Field I think it was called. Is it even still there?  I have also taken the Amtrack from Springfield to Chicago 3 Times, loved it!

Puff, good memories of Chicago! I think Becky and Jennifer lived there when the two 90 degree curves were modified, I bet that was a mess...

Karen, thanks for SWFL update. I wish they would band the eaglets too. That sub adult may be one of Harriet's and it would be wonderful to know a part of her continues to return!

CLYNN  LOLOL   "Suzie Wong's Chinese laundry"    ;D ;D ;D ;D    You found the answer to " Du Sable"  ::) ::)  Meigs Field was taken down in the darkness of the night by Mayor Daley!!  City was shocked. This was eons ago...  You found some good pics of the modified "S" Curve.

clynn  DuSable was more than an early settler.  He was an avid developer and business starter of the region. 

That first pic (which by the way is a great find) is a great showing for Question Mark Pier (top) (wonder why they called it that   ;D ) and the large sand plot at the bottom is Oak Street Beach.   Oak Street Beach is used in the summer for the major showing of the Air and Water show.  It is scary and amazing to see those jets "performing" off shore and among the downtown monster buildings.  You also can imagine the echo/noise. 

Duckie was so cute.  I hoped and waited for more of the story.

Thought I'd make a quick trip over to the Mary Tyler Moore House located at 2104 Kenwood Parkway in the Kenwood neighborhood of Minneapolis. It was this gorgeous Queen Anne that served as the exterior shot for Mary's home in the TV sitcom. Built in 1892, it was designed by Edward S. Stebbins, who designed houses all over the Twin Cities and spent 14 hears as the official architect for Minneapolis Public Schools. Up close you could really see how grand it is as the tower looms above you. There was some beautiful stained glass on the tower's windows as well. Today, it's a private residence. It's a spectacular home and it was a trip to actually be standing in front of it.

Wide mixture of weather today for us at our house; Rain - Very strong heavy rain, - hail at least twice, a tiny bit of sun - our rain gauge reads .44 right now, and we may get more this evening, but next week (probably Tue), we start warming up and getting some beautiful sunshine.  Calif reservoirs and lakes have really benefited with this beautiful rain, but not the mud/road slides in Big Sur.

We have been to the Big Sur River Inn & Restaurant many times (pictured above), but only just to eat and spend some time there.  They have indoor and outdoor sitting and they also have Adirondack chairs out in the river that runs behind this restaurant and on any warm/hot day, you will see folks sitting in those chairs in the shallow river!  Very beautiful scenery.  I've seen folks bring their blankets and picnic baskets.  Sad that these places are not getting any customers right now due to the slide, but that's just Nature. :(
People cannot get there from the other side of Hwy1 (out of Paso Robles) due to a closure.

Karen - Did the weather subside a little so that Piper wanted to out for a bit?

Phyl - Good that Jim will take you to see a Dr on Friday.  Hope you feel a little bit better each day.   Cute pic of squirrel & bluebird!

Tsk - Hope your area warms up soon! 

Clynn - Are the Munchkins on Easter/Spring break this week, or was that last week?    So glad that Ed is feeling back to normal now!!

Puff - So, are you getting very many requests for folks wanting Rooms to come and visit Decorah for the ATF event?  I know how much you enjoy doing this, so hope you are getting requests! :)

Lani - I have lived in Ca in this same general area for all of my life and of course I don't mind you asking!    Hope Mike is back home now. :)    Love the story of duck running the marathon and getting a medal - too Cute!!!!! ;D

LisaG  :)

Bl - Great story from 2015 and of your fishing spot - thank you!

Kb - Yaaay! So happy you got your Internet connection fixed!!!  Loved the vid of 'Raptor' landing on the foot of that fellow! ;D   Gorgeous home!!!

Eagles, Big Sur River and Park sounds like a lovely area. I hope the repairs will go quickly. Glad for the reservoirs and lakes filling up, also, it may help with the fire season this summer..... whenever you share your weather report and mention rain, I always check on mine and see what's in our future!  ;D ... Yes, Mike arrived home an hour ago. There was some sort of dust up on Highway 87 going to Payson or he would have been home a bit earlier. 10 police cars and highway shut down for 20 minutes. Mike didn't pass an accident when he was able to move on, something was up.

Good night!

And, not much better todfay.  " Bark, bark, bark!"

There's a pic somewhere as I recall - Me about 3 or 4 fishing in the Rockies for R.M. river trout.  We made quite a few trips to the area streams since $$$ was veeeery scarce.  Other good treat though was a whole watermelon laid in the cool water to keep it crunchy.  First thing we'd always plan when we went back "home" to visit family was a trip to visit RMNP (Rocky Mountain National Park).

Another remembrance would be at about 10  yrs old, in Chicago now, when the eclipse not only dropped the temperature but it got real windy!

Phyl, an X-rated 365! LOLOL! It's Spring! I have never seen a live partridge, thanks! 39 here, 59 for the high today. Sorry to hear you are having double discomfort, with your cold and your back. I hope the clinic cam get you some help. Ed has an old shoulder injury and the nerve in his arm is causing him pain, he said he couldn't sleep much. He said he is going to call the Dr this morning, so I know it's hurting. I agree on the nerdy scientists, I hope what they find out is worth the effort!

baz, yes, a lot of dufus going around! And there's no cure! My Uncle Kenny had some unique names, if I can remember any more I will let you know!  ;D Love the un-plug, otherwise known as re-boot. That was always the first suggestion of the Help Desk at work, and many times it was all that was needed. For humans too, I agree! Sometimes my get-up-and-go does the same thing, it's nice to be retired and take at least part of a day off when needed.

Lani, glad to hear Mike is home safe! I remember some kind of dust or sand storms that would blow up when we were at Luke AFB, I remember we came home from somewhere, the windows had been open and the dust/sand was all over the house where it had blown through the screens! Good picture of the Trempealeau nest, I'll have to check in on that one! It feels like musical nests in Decorah, and we have no eagles to watch there!

Bl, good answer! You must have inherited that old cast iron skillet!

E4E, Spring Break is in the middle of March around here, the week of March 18th, Erin and family went to visit my Mom on Break. I would love to visit Big Sur, makes me think of the Beach Boys, my first music love!

kb, great picture from Thomas Demma, he is a wonderful photographer! I would love to live in the Mary Tyler Moore house, it's beautiful!  And oh, I do know the difference between a cable and a modem. I was just comparing a longstanding issue that was solved so easily when a technician took the time to really look for the issue.

Newspaper Rock is perhaps the largest, most well known, and most easily accessible petroglyph panel in Utah. The 200 square foot panel is covered with more than 650 symbols representing nearly 2,000 years of human history. Learn more on our website: http://tiny.cc/mvg1tz

An elephant at sunset....sorry it's not sunrise given it's morning!...LOL

I think Chris could actually work for Comcast at least as a diagnostician at this point. In other words he had the persistence to keep "barking" at comcast after testing everything. Not just the usual reset all devices etc. but knew how to find codes of stuff not working that I'd never seen before.

A few weeks ago, a comcast employee was out and re-ran just a section of cable, testing as he went, but Chris showed him code that disagreed with his machines. He even validated it with a NetGear engineer, the new modem's engineer.

Bottom line, the only interference left was the main cable from pole to house.....grrr.. and very old. Fixed just yesterday.

Wish we buried our cable here, Lani. But, we've all been told it's too expensive to do it, same with our power lines etc..

Spent the day yesterday removing my chicken wire and protection from rabbits around other roses etc in front yard. Today I'll do the back yard..Slowly but surely Spring will show up.

GOOD MORNING

Mostly cloudy heading to 45...

PUFF   You are a good Chicago historian  ;) ;)  Never knew about questionmark pier  ::)

KB    Thomas Demma got some good shots yesterday.  Good camera equipment  :o   Awesome video.  Kind of a vulture like head? That is a grand old home.  Would love to get inside.  :)   Chris should have some on line business where he helps people with computer issues!!  Maybe Comcast will hire him after this experience  ;D

EAGLES  Brings to mind all those who will lose income because of Hwy 1 being closed.  Not as big a physical disaster as the bridge but brings about the same consequences...  :(        Warm February and colder April - backwards  LOL

LANI   Mike home safe  :)

BAZI    Love the Ann Lamott quote - So true in this age of technology applied to ourselves!   I need to look up the times of those games today.

PHYL    Sure hope NASA learns something with this $$$ experiment.  Gosh - getting to the doc in the nick of time it sounds like - Hope you get some relief.

BL  I think cast iron skillets last FOREVER.  ;) ;)

CLYNN   Now those stacked colorful cups would make a great puzzle!!!!  ;D   Never heard of Newspaper Rock either - Fascinating.

kb - Congrats to Nancy & Beau on their new babies. Very cool about the Mary Tyler Moor house.

E4E - Wow, you did have a mixture of weather yesterday.  Big Sur River Inn & Restaurant looks like a nice place, so sad that they are not getting any business, cause of the road closure.

Lani - Thanks for the pics of Mrs. T, and the DE geese!

Phyl - I hope the lil clinic fixes you up today.  Thanks for the 365, and the NASA link. 

clynn - Love the colorful coffee mugs this morning.  Very interesting about Newspaper Rock.

Clynn, This may be Iris, go back to 6:54am on streaming cam. She tidies up for a couple of seconds too, then flies to her perch.
I always go back through cam to see if she's been there. I hope it's her and not Louis. There are pics on Hellgate Facebook by others, they feel it's her.
But, I'm sure everyone is waiting for confirmation. This is my pic from cam.   🙏  :-*

Heard about this on FNC right after it occurred. FNC did a 'Breaking News".  USGS stated while rare occurrence, not uncommon.

Bringing back memories from Southern Calif.  living on the San Andreas Fault and Joplin, MO on the New Madrid Fault.
Recalling   from  childhood and adulthood,   in school n a classroom  and crawling for cover underneath my desk. And,  teacher's assistant in Kindergarten;  running errands in town--being knocked to my feet in stores  with stocked shelves  toppling goods to the floor ; in parking lots , trying to hold on to anything stable.   Seeing the concrete based high ways and interstates roll like the waves in the Pacific ocean --- watching parked vehicles sway from side to side like baby elephants at play; awakened from a sound sleep , sitting straight up in bed holding onto the mattress because the magnitude was so strong one couldn't stand or move.

Yes if BL was at home in the area he would have felt it for sure.
 Hoping that BL and all in immediate area are well and property is un damaged---at least not seriously.
Take care everyone. Praying and thinking about you.

You can enlarge the picture on an ipad but the eyes look blurry as they get larger.  Clynn, try it on your phone!
Lisa, I have not looked but, has rrp said anything about  the missing Mr, T at the new camera Wisconsin nest?   Nothing on the cam site.   Since it is on private property I thought the owners might have a clue! 
A brief history lesson I found interesting:  stewardsumrrorg.   Sorry you cannot click on it but you can google it!
Phyll, ALL the networks broadcasted the earthquake as breaking news!   It also flashed on computers!

KAREN  Heard that on the news in the car about the earthquake.  Thousand of earthquakes happen everyday on this planet to varying degree of magnitude and generally they get recognized if over 5.0 said the reporter.

HAPPY FRIDAY!  :D


The 2 Women's Final Four games are tonight, on ESPN.  The NC State women will play SC at 7pm (Eastern times).  The Iowa women (with phenom Caitlin Clark, who won the women's Naismith Trophy yesterday) plays UCONN after the NC State game, or around 9pm (Eastern). The winners of those 2 womens games will play each other for the Women's NCAA Basketball Championship, on Sunday at 5pm (Eastern time), which will air both on the ABC network, and on ESPN, with different people calling the game on the 2 different channels, so take your pick.  ;)

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVX93-p69Pk

The 2 Men's NCAA Final Four games will be played on Saturday. The NC State men will play Purdue at 6pm (Eastern), and the UCONN men will play Alabama afterward, around 8:30pm (Eastern). Both of those games will air on 3 different TV channels - TBS, TNT, and TruTV. The winners will play each other on Monday for the Men's NCAA Championship title at 9p (Eastern), also on all 3 channels, TBS, TNT, and TruTV.



My 4 twin "greats" and their dad went to visit at the home of my LGN and Baby Bro and family one afternoon/evening this week. So all those 1st cousin kids got to spend some time playing together there. They had a ball.  :) The next day (yesterday), they all rode Amtrak from DC to Baltimore and went to the Baltimore Aquarium together, and had a great time! Then they also spent some time relaxing, sightseeing, and getting a bite to eat at Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Fun times.  :)

Well---Jim stopped by the Little Clinic on his way home- parking lot was full to capacity---he went in to check it out all chairs full and standing room only.
So when he got home and told me. I ended up calling my PCP and got an appt for late Monday afternoon with her NP. Which worked out perfectly.

Lost a Bible study friend Kathleen ( 79)who passed last night suddenly of a cardiac arrest ( dtr took her to ER for shortness of breath and it happened in ER)and I have been mourning her all day.  I have known her for only 7 years but she has been a very influential person in my life.   She always said she wanted to die quickly and before our pastor emeritus died as she wanted him to say her funeral mass.   ;) ;)  And he will!!- a true gift.  Fr Ron is 91 and a good friend of Kathleen's.  He still says mass regularly and is sharp as a tack.
Prayers for her family who she loved dearly and took "grandmothership" very seriously.  She had the whole gang over for Easter so there is a blessing.

Night all.

Tsk, very sorry to hear of the sudden death of your dear
friend Kathleen!   She sounds like a wonderful person and one who will be hard to replace.    Good for Fr Ron! 
Lisa, thanks for looking, i was  not able to find anything either.  Will be surprised if there is a hatch on the second egg!  Hoping not!
Phyl, hope you are over your illness by the time your Monday appointment rolls around! Chicken soup  and lots of fluids!
Have a nice niteBeakers, seds.
Oh, Baz, lovely pictures!

Tsk  Your Kathleen sounds like a good friend to you and you're glad to have shared the years with her.  There is solace too in that she got her final wishes in the end.  Prayers to her, her family, friends, and her dear friend, you.

Good Evening Beakers

I am finding some reports of damage to homes, roads and water mains from today's earthquakes (4.8 and 4.0 aftershock)
I see that BL logged in this evening , but he did not post...

Well, Iowa pulled it out in the end and is going back to the finals.  Catlin only had 21 points, I think the lowest game this season.

Lani - So glad Mike is home.  Hope he is working from home now as much as he is able!  I love to hear that he is at home with you!    Cute doggie pic today!

Phyl - Hope you got to see a doc today and that you will be getting better now.

Clynn - Okay, Spring break over, so the next holiday for the Munchkins at school will probably be Memorial weekend!  Are the kitties still doing well together? :)

Kb - Spring will show up soon! ;D

Tsk - Exactly right about about the employees who are out of work right now.  Hope they are able to get back to work soon!     I too hope that is Iris!    Our weather today was like yours;  windy and cold!
Oh no, so sad and sorry about your bible study friend passing.{{{Tsk}}}  She sure sounds like she was a very special person. :-*

LisaG - You & Jeff have a nice weekend!

Karen - The 'Today' Show got interrupted this morning with the report of the Earthquake over on the E. coast!  Good that they didn't know of any injuries (seems everybody was fine), but there was some damage in places.

Og - Yes that is what was reported on the earthquake!  Thank you for the info!

Lori - Thanks for the Hellgate Osprey cam!!

Baz - Great women's game tonight!!!! It just finished!!!! What a nail biter. Awesome  ;D   Cute family pics!

Congratulations IOWA Women!! Great game!!! Held my breath!  :o

Lisa, I'm glad to read your post about Mr T not missing.

Baz, beautiful family pics, looks like a fun time!

{{{Phyl}}} Sorry the clinic was filled/// Hopefully, each day will help you till your appt on Monday... I hope you do try the Lavender. I use sweet grass, sweet orange or lemon infusion oil daily through the spring. At night I like lavender. It doesn't bother Mike. Since he stopped smoking 40 years ago, he can't smell a thing, except turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

{{{Tsk}}} I'm sorry for the sudden loss of your friend Kathleen. So much friendship, respect and love packed into those special years. {{{Fr. Ron}}} Prayers for her family, friends and you.  :-*

Oldguy, wonderful to see a post from Lesley the Bird Nerd. Beautiful Chickadee. ... Love the cat that sits in funny positions... Hana loves Maru .... Qkids did a great job with one of my favorite songs Centerfield!

BL, I hope all is well with you Pip and Kopje.  :)

{{{Tig}}}  :)

Eagles, yes, Mike is home and it was a successful trip. How was your time with your mom?

Kb, he thought Minneapolis was very pretty.

Good night!

BL, I hope you and all at your home are okay, and that you haven't suffered any serious property damage from the 4.8 earthquake in NJ this morning, and the many aftershocks.


I watched much of both of the women's Final Four games tonight. NC State had a very good 1st half against unbeaten South Carolina, but didn't perform well in the 2nd half, and lost by a wide margin. The Iowa v UCONN game was close, and both teams played hard throughout. Caitlin's shooting was off in the 1st half, but she was hitting them in the 2nd half. Many players on both teams had shining moments, and the lead changed hands several times. It was a nailbiter ending, but Iowa prevailed and won by 2 points. So tonight's two winning number 1 seeds, unbeaten South Carolina and Iowa, will face off in the Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament Championship Game on Sunday at 5pm, Eastern.

I'm so happy to see Iris has safely returned to her nest!!  :-* :-*


Waving to All the Beakers, and wishing you a restful Good Night.

Trempealeau Eagles Update
 April 5, 2024  RaptorResource

What’s going on at the Trempealeau eagle nest and where is Mr. T? We haven’t seen him since March 28. Prior to that, he and Mrs. T were exchanging incubation duties and he was acting like a normal eagle Dad. But we haven’t seen him on the nest since his last shift and no one has reported or found him, live or dead, in the vicinity of the nest.

Phyl, good cat pics, mooning the neighbors! Sam and Sophie love sitting at the front window, I wonder if people walking by notice them! Love the sounds in the 365! So Mr. T is missing. Dang. I hate to hear that. Hang in there today and hopefully you can get some help from the Dr tomorrow. I bet Maggie knows you aren't feeling well...

baz, I did sleep very well last night, thank you! See you later!

Lani, I thought it was funny, Mike can't smell anything but turkey! Not even the Cozy Burgers? Good to hear he had a good trip tp Minneapolis and is safe at home for the weekend.

E4E, the Munchkins have no school today, they are off for the eclipse. It's crazy! And I am sure there will be a couple more days off for teacher's workshops or something like that!

Munchkin pictures from yesterday! Talon actually played Barbies with Bella. I think he was saving his computer time for later, he only gets to spend so much time a day playing games. In the one picture he was coming his hair with Barbie's comb, Bella thought that was funny!

Lani - happy to hear Mike was successful in Minneapolis...nice to hear his thoughts about it too...Pretty is yet to come imho...when the leafs open on the trees and everything turns green!

In fact I'll be spending more time outside today and may drop crab grass/weed preventer?..depends on how quickly Amazon delivers today.

Lots of rain coming tomorrow into Monday so wouldn't have to water....soil temps are warmer than last time this year...yes my lilacs haven't bloomed yet and soil temp has nudged to 50 but back down to 40 but I've had success laying this product out even with snow in some areas before...

Close to 60 above once again today and the sun is out at the moment.

Can you tell I'm anxious?...LOL

Not a cloud in the sky tsk I'm counting on 60 for my area today!

Ending was good but took every ounce of effort and every sec left for Iowa to get the win.  Long wait until Sunday.

Going to get to my feathered friends today - they're starting to picket  me.  Had to handle Good Sam this week 4 different times/appointments.  Ugly weather anyway.  Birds will be happy.

Not sure who posted the site for the PCH video, maybe OG?  Since all the posting on the subject earlier this week it verifies any #1 voters choice.  I didn't realize it was  655 miles north to south.  Much longer then the Ireland cliffs at 15 miles, sans the spectacular views, too.  Makes me want to take the drive again.  But just thinking about things - - -Top to bottom before was with Ton and 4 of our friends.  I'm the only one left in the group.   :'(

Really going to be a tough call for the new nest in Wisconsin.  I think it was Lisa who caught the pic of the pip in the egg left.  Because of care needed and temps there, it was an iffy call before.  It would really put pressure on mom to do survival duties for 2.  We'll probably all be waiting for any more progress today on that pip.

some bounce

I'm around. Had to take a break.

((TSK))

I picked up my lawn supplies Thursday but am watching soil temps for right time to apply. I also went to the hardware store for some items and almost fell in their parking lot. Our car took a little beating from my cane and there was a release of adrenaline, but all is well.
I visited my heart doctor yesterday, first time in 11 years. This is the second time I am now seeing the son of the original doctor!! I'm officially old. He prescribed a 30 day heart rhythm monitor to evaluate for silent or asymptomatic atrial fibrillation. Joy.
I may clean up some cones etc. from our spruce later when it warms up.

I cheered for Caitlin. I can cheer for Paige next year.

Phyl - Sorry you didn't get into the lil clinic yesterday, but glad to hear you got an appt with your PCP's NP on Monday. 

karen - Did you see the RRP post about Trempealeau?  It was posted yesterday after you asked me about it.

oldguy - Thanks for letting us know BL logged in, and thanks for the videos.

E4E - Thanks, and I hope you & Kris have a nice weekend, too.

Lani - Mr. T is missing, per RRP's post last evening.   :(  Loving your pics from the RRP cams.   :D  I had to laugh when you said, Mike can't smell anything but turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas.  They should bottle that smell, IMO!

baz - Waving back at ya!   :)

clynn - Great pics of the munchkins! 

kb - Hope you get your delivery soon, so you can put your crab grass/weed preventer down before the rain.

Puff - I hope the Wisconsin nest does OK.  That will be a tough job for that mom.  That was not me that posted the pic, looks like a newbie, or maybe someone who knows the nest very well?

tig - I am glad that you did not fall, and the cane and car helped stop the fall.

Kb, cute pup barking at it's shadow. The rest of the pics in your X thread has a lot of wonderful animal videos too.... nice day temp, we're heading up the to the 70's next week.

Clynn, OOPS, I forgot he can smell cozies, especially the onions! Mike lost the sense of smell after several years of heavy smoking, college, Navy, etc. He quit when he turned 40... he can't smell perfume, flowers, cut grass, popcorn or when the girls needed their diapers changed. LOL! But, he can smell burgers and roast turkey.... great pics of the munchkins! Sitting on the floor, Talon and Bella look to be the same height and close to age...

Well, I just came up from working outside out back and watched my neighbor back his van which was too close to the property line, just drive over 3 pieces of fencing and they are wrecked. They are just inside the property line. The reason they are there as they keep driving on my property.

Actually it was a friend/relative and the owner saw it..he doesn't speak English but someone else did and I said he doesn't use his mirrors..Yep the other guy said yep...I said don't let him drive again.

They jammed the crooked pieces best they could and I went out to straighten a bit better. It looks awful and I will have to replace them.

I DID put a boulder inside the fence. To bad he missed that!

Resting and then going to drop my crabgrass preventer. It doesn't have fertilizer in it...I use milorganite for that much later in May...

TIG   You've been busy and avoiding falls at all cost.  :-*    Good idea with the heart monitor since it has been 11 years.  They are much smaller now and you can shower with them - at least Tim's was that kind.   Just saw a Youtube video about how to plant pinecones in a pot.  I keep forgetting to look for them on my walk. ???

LANI   LOL  Sylvester and Tweedy  ;D  Funny behavior with Norman's reaction to Sadie's toys  LOL   Just did a 30 min walk and 1 thing leads to another..Did some perennial cut downs and took the 3 hoses out for Tim to hook up.  Want to get the bird bath out and fill it.  ;) ;)  I will stop with that or will feel it later  ::) ::)     Those 3 cat/kitty vids were perfect.

KB   DANG  Maybe you should make a whole row of boulders?  How long is the fence?

Ha, I just talked with Dennis and Vi about doing that!....fence is over 15 feet long.. maybe needs to be a lot taller? ...er um, maybe they need to learn how to drive?

But, it's the last 5-7 feet they run over, not the 15 feet...they also repeatedly drive over the curb, um city property.

HAPPY CATURDAY BEAKERS! :D


(https://i.chzbgr.com/full/9903199232/h7B9ACE81/arts)
 ;D


I'm so sorry to hear the update on Mr. T, the MIA Bald Eagle at the Wisconsin nest. Talons crossed for him, and for Mrs. T, incubating alone now.  :-* :-*


Lani, LOL, Bandit takes his stuffed toys to the sofa in Mike's office, and tells Norman he will have to go through Dad to get to them again!  :D :-* :-*

Clynn, love the pics of Bella and Talon!  :-* :-* They have such a great sibling bond, and will always be close. That's so great to see. Talon is a great big brother to Bella. LOL on him test driving the Barbie comb.  ;) :D  Clynn, I double-checked to be sure, and today is Saturday.  ;) ;) ;)

((Phyl)), sorry about your voice. Hang in there, and keep resting and doing what you're doing.

((TSK)), glad you're getting sun today!  :-*

Lisa, will you be visiting with little Sydney anytime soon?

Tig, glad you caught yourself before hitting the ground. Good to get it checked out, but I hope it isn't afib. My Mtns Sis is managing hers ok with meds now.

BL, check in with a report when you can. Hope all is ship shape there and all are okay, and unmoved. Did the rattle rattle Kopje?

OG, good luck at cards tonight!

Karen, I hope Piper is still doing fine after the chocolate bunny affair, and maybe y'all are enjoying a little sun in the yard today. Much warmer temps come back this coming week there!  :)

E4E, are you drying out any yet? Did any water find its way into the garage again? I hope not much, if any.



I haven't felt like walking the last several days. But today looked like a good day for an upright walk in the chilly sun. About a half block from home, I ran into a neighbor walking her sweet German Shorthair, Birdie, and she had another German Shorthair with her too, who I hadn't seen before. So I stopped to chat with her and get a good hug with Birdie, and remark on the other dog. She sometimes walks another person's Boxer, so I thought she might be walking a friend's dog today, too. It turned out she adopted the 2nd German Shorthair with her just yesterday afternoon, as a rescue in SC. Her Birdie was a rescue, too, a little over 2 years ago. Early indications all are getting along well. The new rescue, Dottie, hit the jackpot. Her new "Mommy" is the best doggy-mom! I loved on both pooches for a bit, and then turned to continue my walk, after checking my mail, as I was right beside our mail bldg. Then I walked maybe 15 steps, and kerplunk! My upright walk took a sudden flying 90-degree rotation, and I landed cheekbone side down on the sidewalk. It took me a minute to get limbs right and get up. Got an unplanned heavy duty exfoliation of knees, heels of palms, cheekbone, cheek, and eyebrow bone. Three middle fingers on my non-dominant right hand work, but don't want to - they suffered a wild test of mobility. No, they aren't supposed to bend in that direction. My middle finger looks like it was recently attached from a much larger person. Those 3 middle fingers still work, but not well. One cheek looks like I don't know how to blend in a heavy dose of rouge, and that I mis-applied a dose of brown and purple eyeshadow in places where it isn't supposed to be. My skull took a licking on the side above my temple, and gave me a nasty headache. After I got myself upright, I walked home to take anti-inflammatories right away. My headache is already way better. A couple of finger tendons seem to have been over-stressed, and I have a fresh batch of scrapes and bruises, liberally distributed, but nothing seems broken. Maybe I will walk later. After all, the impact resistant sunglasses I was wearing passed their test!  ::)
 We'll see.  ::) 8)


Reminder of Men's Final Four games: NC State men v Purdue at 6p, Eastern today. Then UCONN men v Alabama play afterward. The winners of those 2 games will play each other for the whole banana Monday night. Go State!  ;D


Later, Gators! Stay upright when it's called for and if at all possible.  8)

BL, check in with a report when you can. Hope all is ship shape there and all are okay, and unmoved. Did the rattle rattle Kopje?

Pip, Kopje and I are just fine. Thank you all for the Beaker concern.  8)

In fact we didn't feel a thing as we were driving north on the NYS Thruway at 70 mph at the time the 4.8 hit.

We called our 'critter sitter' back at the abode as soon as we heard the news on the radio.
She said it rattled some dishes and a few pictures are askew but other than that all is A-OK at home.   8)

It did freak her out a bit at 1st, but she lived in CA for a few years and quickly realized that it was an earthquake.   
She also said that some of the critters "wigged out" right before the shaking began and for a little while after .. they all settled down shortly after the shaking ended she said.    :-* :-*

The mag 4.8 quake originated about 42 miles SW of us on the Ramapo Fault.  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramapo_Fault)
That same fault line runs only a few miles west of our home so we are very glad the Magnitude wasn't higher and the epicenter wasn't that close to us.

Most importantly no one was hurt and there was no serious infrastructure damage reported in the Tri-State area that we have heard of.  

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?extent=40.19776,-75.72601&extent=41.27987,-73.08929&range=week&magnitude=all&sort=largest&listOnlyShown=true&showPlateBoundaries=false&baseLayer=street

Baz now will you please stop trying to beat up on that asphalt with your face .. what did it do to you anyway?   ;)
Don't make us send Lani's Mike over there to school you on asphalt abuse.   ;)
 
Seriously hope you are okay.   :-*
Perhaps a glash of wine is in order for the NCAA Games ?    ;)

Kb we live just south of the Rockland County, NY line.

They are still giving away big landscaping fence defense boulders for free .. well since the last Ice Age anyway.

The Amazon Drone shipping and placement cost is the rub ..

Not to mention it's highly inaccurate and has been known to damage unruly neighbors vans and barbecues.   ;D

Unless you use Amazon Prime Drone Delivery (APDD) of course .. which I would opt out of if I was you .  ;)   :P

All deer, trees and fence must stay.

There are so many critters amongst us all that enrich Pip and I Karen.

Many that own us.

Kb, If that land was my little piece of Paradise, I would get the boulders and inter plant them with Yucca plants!   Might consider yuccas as rabbit fencing!
Lisa, I am finally clear on the Trempealeau nest , I think!
Posted in that new thread!   We have seen a one parent  deal in decorah and swfl but the eaglets were older than this little fluff ball.

Lots of good Caturdays gang!

Lani- in the past I've gotten a bottle essential oils from Aveda.com  ---the Bergamot . Think I'll check their selection again. Poor Sadie and her toys , she

good relationship

Tig- heart monitor would be in order, relieved you didn't fall

Lisa- cute Caturday---I hoping for 'drugs'  come Monday. LOL

Puff- Lani- hoping the Trempealeau nest will be fine, sharing concerns

Lani- Sylvester & Tweetie bird LOL He never did catch Tweetie; tks for Trempealeau's candle9 did one here)  the nest is gonna need it.   Mike has his 'smell' I have

OH BAZI  It sounds terrible but you tell it in such a humorous way...DID YOU ice your hand??  Stick the whole hand in a bowl of ice water for about 5-10 min?   Ice pack on the side of your head?  Did you trip? 

T40   Loved the reaction to cat kisses  LOL   Hefty Dog getting into the space with the 2 cats  ;D   I think my cat is broken  LOL

BL  Good report on your NJ abode while you were away.

PHYL   the outdoors activity today was only activated because of the sunshine and 50 degree temps - It was energy day.  We've been in dreary weather for days so it was good today.

Too funny, BL...I laughed out loud... wish there was such a thing!..APDD...I'm still mad at her. 3 times is too much. I'll come up with something eventually.

Glad that earthquake didn't bother anything/anybody..after living in Cali for 20 years and experiencing them tens or hundreds of times I kind of laughed at all the tv coverage but I do know it's not a typical thing out east so it would be freaky.

Chris suggested large tacks that stick up!....to pierce a tire or two ya know.

Not Preen, Phyl. I tried that a few times in my gardens but never worked so I have resorted to mountains of mulch between plants...that works for me.

My yard routine: I drop crabgrass preventer early on the grass, Milorganite fertilizer (organic) 4 times a season and grubex twice. Grubex is for our Japanese Beetle infestations in this area.

Places to stay in Capitola Village/Beach.  We have not stayed here, but we love to come and walk around the village and shop.  Always a good lunch along the beach in one of those fabulous restaurants!  My hubby's Sister & her fiance stayed in one of these rooms last summer and had a marvelous time!  Hubby's sister is from Colorado.   Not trying to promote anything, as this area is always busy!  Just sharing because I am trying to post things of interest. ;D

Lani- It was a great Iowa game last night!!!  Great DNN pics! :)  Like the Mother goose pic too!

Phyl- Oh no, what is going on at the Trempealeau nest?  Hope Mr T is alive and well. :o

Clynn - I would bet that folks walking by your house see your cute Sophie & Sam in the window!!   Yeah, the Eclipse is a very big thing this time around.  I know it's been huge in years past, but more people are very much into it!!   So cute how Talon played with Bella!!  Funny how she laughed when he combed his hair with the Barbie comb!! ;D

Kb - How was your day out in the yard?  Always taking care of things! :)

Tsk- Glad you got some sun today!

Hi Puff!

Tig - So you almost fell, but not quite? Hopefully you did not fall all the way! Hopefully your car was hearty with taking your cane!

LisaG- Hope you & Jeff are having a nice weekend.  How is your weather?  We've just stayed home this weekend - nothing too exciting! ;)

Lani- That's so funny how Norman is with Sadie's toys!  ;D

Tsk - Looks like you are ready to get set up for the Spring season! :)

Baz - Oh no! So sorry about the fall you took.  Hope you put some ice packs on your wounds.  Glad you say that nothing seems broken.

{{{Tig}}} sending gentle hugs and prayers.... rest easy.  :-*

Tsk, Like you I couldn't stop at just doing one thing outside today. I'm ready to start digging in the planter areas.  ;D

Oldguy, good suggestion for Kb. Thanks for links.... love Simon's cats  ;D ... Thanks for the Iceland volcano update, it's strange to see a bubbling vent and in the distance snow covered hills. Too bad about destroyed moss beds.

SED Lisa :-*

{{{Baz}}} Oh no, Ouch! Your fall sounds terrible. And you had such a nice walk and then visit with the rescued pups/owners.... I hope you didn't break or sprain anything. You'll be sore for awhile.  :-\ I hope you put you used ice packs, feet up, lots of rest and glass of wine later for the games...  The cats don't go into Mike's office unless I do, Sadie spends part of the morning sleeping on Mike's office couch and uses her special stuffed toys as her pillow. Good games today, UCONN and Purdue played hard the 2nd half. Looking forward to the women's game tomorrow. I hope you have a comfortable night's sleep.

T40, Loved your Caturday short videos, especially the bonus.

BL, good to see your post. Glad all is well with you and Pip and critters... thanks for map.... good advice for Kb and Baz  ;D

{{{Phyl}}} does Maggie like catnip? Maybe a toy with catnip.... oh my the two Lynx!  ;D . sending prayers for a good night's sleep... SED Bob

Eagles, Pretty colorful Capitola Village/Beach buildings... Looks like a fun place to visit, especially the nice sandy beach.  ;D

Good Morning Everyone. Sunday blessings.

Currently: 42F clear with a   High  76F sunny,  Low 42F


   Lani- Maggie's had catnip toy all her life, a sock dog that sits on one of the stair risers .Not so often now. But that gal would snatch it up in
her mouth and roll with it---i shake it while growling.     Cute pup last night   

BL- lynxes are beautiful big cats, luv them and those snowshoes they wear  :o       

Tsk- understood

Eagles- I miss California---post away  ; the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) nests are interesting and no one post about them. Awesome big raptors and
the longest living in the world at 50 yrs and not pretty to look at.  But impressive 7' wing span to say the least

All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

eagles4 - yes, I do take care of things, And, responsibilities in life provide meaning. I am it around here. Real and important meaning. Especially after losing the love of my life.

After responsibilities there is time for play...just a little bit of time with Chris and Ollie.

BL - wow, wolverines. Scott used to say the most dangerous animal on planet earth!..

It seems certain it will rain all day today....yah!...my yard product will be watered in from Mother Nature.

Phyl, love the 365, wrens have the prettiest song! Thanks for Amy's Blog! Hope you are feeling a bit better. Ed went to Urgent Care with his shoulder/nerve pain yesterday. They gave him a prescription for prednisone and a shot of something, but he said it hasn't helped. This is from a bicycle crash over 20 years ago, it has flared up for some reason. I hope you get relief today!

Lani, not quite warm enough to work out in the yard here yet but it's coming, maybe this week! I am looking forward to having the windows open!

E4E, love that little resort on the beach! I have been to Canon Beach in Oregon, your picture reminded me of it! Lots of little shops to explore!

tsk, doesn't it feel good when you get a nice sunny day after a few crappy days!

baz, OhMyGoodness what a fall you took! I am glad to hear nothing is broken, but I bet you look like someone beat the crap out of you! You need a few days of rest and ice packs! Did you trip on something? Good Grief!

BL, glad to hear you are all okay!

T40, good videos, still watching them!

oldguy, hope you did well at cards! Thanks for the Iceland update!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING

EAGLES   Capitola  What a colorful place to visit  :)

LANI   I know it is still way too soon here to do much outdoors but some of the non weather related tasks could be done.  I want to transplant 2 hostas out of a fern garden that has taken over but they are not even up yet  ::)   Beautiful coloring on the good night pup.

PHYL  365  I love wrens and had a wren house up in the backyard.  Something chewed the small opening and now it is too big.  :(   Interesting about the planets aligning.

CLYNN  Sorry to hear about Ed's shoulder.  Maybe takes a day or two for injection to work?   My big April project is doing a full cleaning of the 3 season porch.  But has to be over 50 to work out there LOL  We do have rain coming in so they say.    Yes, I'm a different person when the sun is shining   ;) ;)   Thanks for R&R nest building vid.  Very determined and focused  LOL

BL - Glad to hear that you all are OK.

karen - I am glad the Trempealeau nest is all straight.   ;D  Such drama at the nests! 

Phyl - LOL, hoping for drugs. Thanks for all the links. 

E4E - The weather was cool and windy yesterday, but today is sunny with temps of 58.  It might be a good day to grill.  Love the lil colorful businesses! 

Lani - Awww, sweet good night pic!

kb - Yay, your yard is going to get watered. 

clynn - Pretty pic from Canon Beach.  Did I miss a post from you on why R&R are not on their usual spot?

tsk, tig, Puff and all - Morning  :)

Good news about the trempealeau nest but tge nest in the same county , in Blair was a continual disaster with injuries to the female, disappearances and finally egg destruction by a raccoon!    Farmers or someone leaving a dead deer near the base if the nest tree attracting many eagles!  Oh my!   I hope this nest is not going to have tge same drama!  Do not know how many of the beakers watched that nest.   Remember MP was there.
Interesting situation with HM and HD.   Lisa posted some good pictures in the Decorah Thread!


Sorry Ed is having shoulder pains  and no relieve from the injection and pills!   
Have you trued Bio Freeze?   Usually a goid short term  fix!  Maybe long enough to bbq!

Spring is in full swing here and today is sunny with a high in the 70’s.

In a few days that will be 80 and soon these highs will take over most of the day and not just for an hour or two, late afternoon!


Have to get ready for the game.  Good luck to Iowa, playing an unbeaten team!  Should be an exciting game!

Clynn, {{{Ed}}} I hope with time, the shot and meds will help.... Wonderful to see Rosie and Richmond building a new nest. Do you know if this light pole is safe?

BL, glad all is A-OK at your abode after the earthquake.  :)  I'm not sure I followed your 2 male wolverines post... except the hair-raising part of it! When did you have that experience? Where? How close to you were those wolverines? Yikes!!  :o

Lani, oops, I posted about Bandit putting his stuffed animals in Mike's office - my bad... I know it was Sadie.  :-*

Clynn, I hate Ed's shoulder is hurting so much. I hope it's better soon!  :-*  Did you all get to have your re-scheduled Easter dinner this past Friday? Is that why The Munchkins were there?

E4E, I would love to visit Capitola! I will quit asking you if any water got in your garage again from all the recent rains... you aren't answering. LOL. So I don't know if it has, but I hope not much, if any!  :)

BL, Lani, Clynn, TSK, Lisa, Tig, and all others... thanks for your concern about my dufus fall yesterday!!   ::)  (clynn  ;) I grew up using that word! Loved seeing you use it the other day!)  Here's what happened... I was walking on a concrete sidewalk in my townhome neighborhood. There are several spots where it is unlevel from ground lifting under some of the sidewalk sections. The spot where I tripped is one I am well aware of, but the raised edge of that concrete sidewalk square caught the toe of my right foot, and you know the rest of the story.  ::)  BL, thankfully, Lani's Mike won't be needed to protect the asphalt, since it was concrete. Asphalt would've been a little kinder to my body blow though.  ;)

So that's how my fall happened. That ledge of the uneven concrete sidewalk just reached up and grabbed my foot and it laughed and laughed. I did not.

Hope your scroll button works.
The boring details:  The good news is this... the bump on my head was quite superficial, and didn't require any ice. The headache I got from it went away after 1 double dose of anti-inflammatories. My cheek, cheekbone, and eyebrow bone are all good - never needed ice - didn't swell much and I can't detect any bruising or abrasion on them today, just a slight tenderness in one spot on that cheekbone. Yay! The very small abrasions on the heel of each hand are almost gone after I put my miracle healing lotion on it and again for overnight. (Love that stuff for miracle minor skin healing!) The abrasion on 1 knee only bled oh-so very lightly, and there's not even a bruise there, and my knee didn't get any further injury, thankfully - that's the knee that has hated me for decades upon decades already, so I'm glad a flare-up for that wasn't triggered. YAYAY!! Bottom line... the only injury of note is the 3 middle fingers on my right hand, which took the brunt of the fall, and got bent weirdly. My mind was actively telling me during my fall (you know how time sloooowwwsss down when things like that happen) not to use my elbow or wrist to stop myself, and try not to let my skull or face take a beating. So, I'm glad to report, I was able to accommodate my own thoughts, and managed to turn slightly sideways, and use mostly the heel and fingers of that hand to stop the hardest part of the fall, though my head still made incidental contact, and my elbow and wrists stayed in the clear. Finger injuries aren't great, but they are sooo much better to treat than other body parts nearby.  ;) ;D Of the 3 fingers that were injured, the ring finger is the least hurt, and doesn't seem to have anything needing treatment, but the middle finger and the index finger need to get checked out, especially the middle finger. I can't grasp well with either, (swelling is not the only thing affecting them. I'm guessing) and they don't have strength, and are both very discolored, with the middle finger the worst. And blood had pooled at the base of them/top of my palm, under the skin, by the time I woke up, and is spreading further from those fingers  (you know how that does). I did use ice, but for some reason it didn't occur to me to do so till near the end of the 1st women's basketball last night. Then I iced my hand and fingers for 15 minutes an hour till bedtime. I will ice it again today, but haven't yet. Still taking ibuprofen. Looks like a doctor visit will be in order in the morning to check out those 2 fingers - the middle finger has a new angle to it that I hope won't become a permanent part of my hand profile.  ::) :P So I will be on my doctor's office doorstep at opening in the morning, and hope I won't have to sit around too long to be seen, and he can do an x-ray there, My guess is a possible torn tendon on the middle finger, and maybe over-stretched ones in the index finger, but one joint in the middle finger might need extra attention. Hope I'm wrong. I hope all just needs time to self-heal. That's my long and winding story.  8)

Meanwhile... the smoke alarm over my bed, which is too high to reach with my tallest step ladder, started chirping during my morning coffee - every 10 goldarn minutes! Sheese.  ::) :P Using my duster on my extension pole did not remedy the issue. The backup battery in it is less than a year old!! Double-sheese!! Geez, eee-vennn.

However, I have put on my "just ignore it" mindset, and am getting things ready to watch the women's NCAA Championship Basketball game - at 3p today, Eastern, between Iowa and South Carolinan. SC is undefeated this year, and doesn't need any extra motivation to win, but probably has some since Iowa beat them last year in their Final Four semifinal game, which ended SC's run, and let Iowa go to the Final Championship game, where Iowa lost to LSU. That was last year. This year, Iowa is smoking on all cylinders right now, and doesn't need more motivation than they already have to win, but probably has some, since they lost in that Championship game last year, and of course want to win the whole shebang today!


Later, Gators!  :D

Grandma Luetta's Birthday is tomorrow, she will be 100 years old. My other Grandma Helen's birthday is the 9th.  So, Grandma L (Dads mom) is hanging in there, she is a tough brave woman. Mom and my Aunt had to make the decision about hospice for Grandma H.  So she is there now, hanging in there. 
My Uncle R passed away this morning suddenly. This is Grandma Luetta's son. The 10th kid out of 10 kids she had including my Dad. Russ was a special Uncle and I will miss him dearly.  Thank you for the prayers and kind words for my beautiful grandma's and I will talk to you soon... love ya always, Lori & Destini💜

Ha ha. I checked it out - it was alerting me that the NOAA weather station I am tuned into has gone off the air. LOL. The "Off" button will do for now. YAYAY!!!

Famous saying - Build it and they will come - started my day this morning.  Paraphrased  Feed them and they will come. . .Fed the birds yesterday finally.  Also had my guy come to clean the kitchen bay window.  Hasn't been done since November.  What a mess the outside was.  I have 3 feeders over at that side; they were really splattered, spit on, seed/seed skins stuck to the panes, and rain drops - it was terrible.  Panes sit about 15 feet above ground, can't get to it from inside because of counter, and I have no inclination to go out in the cold at that time of the year.  I amused myself watching the feathered tenants perched and singing in the two large evergreens while I gave them the long-awaited treats - not really treats, they need food to take care of their own avian copulation needs.  After the window guy left and I got back inside there were already 3 feeding.  THEN early this morning I just sat and sipped my tea watching the bright red guy munching and splitting for the longest time.  He sure is pretty and a fine specimen.  Haven't see a female yet; maybe they're nesting already. I have to make up for making them all wait.

Sorry Lori for your family health problems/losses recently.  You certainly are in a rough situation.  As always my prayers.  May all the memories and good times give you a godly relief from the down times.

No good results with TV watching today, yesterday.  Iowa, Sox, Bulls, Hawks, all on a losing streak.  But we did win out on the Trempealeau nest.  Hoping for an encouraging view of T2.

tig Hope you feel better, hope your car is only minor and doesn't cost too much or inconvenience you too much.  I'm going to have a hot chocolate and get rid of the damp cold feeling.  And, an aspirin for the aches caused by overdoing yesterday and today.  Bed early tonight.  See y'all tomorrow.

Mission San Juan Bautista, CA  I have a hand painted Mission that my Dad did years ago.  Some of you might remember that he passed back in 2018.  His painting of the Mission hangs on my living room wall and is very special.  My Dad was not a professional.  He painted because he enjoyed this as a hobby in his retirement years.

Lani - Those buildings of Capitola are all rooms to stay in, the restaurants are further south and around the corner from there!  It only takes 5 minutes from the motel rooms to walk to the beach and restaurants.  It is a visitors paradise with places to eat, beach, shopping, and many places have outdoor eating/sitting/ wine tasting, beer garden, pizza, ice cream & desserts!

Phyl - Yes, the CA Condors are periodically shown on our local news channel.  I always hope they survive out there.  Big Sur is the prime place they live in.     Happy Birthday to your sweet Maggie!!

Kb - No doubt you take care of things around your home & premises!  You are dedicated and Scott is proud of you. :-*

Clynn - That is a beautiful picture of Canon Beach in OR. Thank you!

Tsk - I can tell that you can't wait to get started out in your yard for Spring!  It will look beautiful!  It is just fun to get out in the yard!

LisaG - We grilled tonight for dinner although it was cool outside.  Warm weather is coming our way  this week!

Hi Karen!

Lani - Awe, what a picture of dog keeping an eye on his/her owner!   So beautiful Royal Albatross!   Awe, sweet Beanie receiving treatments. :-*

Lori - Sweet birthday greetings for Maggie!    Oh no Lori!  I'm so sorry about your Uncle Russ passing so suddenly.  {{{Lori & family}}}

Baz - So sorry for late reply to your question;  we did not have any more flooding in our garage.  We had exceptionally lots of rain on that date, and hubby unclogged the drain line going from the side of our garage out to the back yard. We are good now. Thank you!
So sorry for the wounds you are suffering from the fall you took, but I'm sure you will recoup nicely.  Take care and do not overdo! :)

Og - Great for your card wins!!  Sounds like a fun night!!

Puff -Have a good night's rest!

Hi Tig  :)

Beakers have a good night.

Howdy Beakers.

Well, both women's teams played well. It was a good game to watch. I was pulling for Iowa. I even wore black and gold, so I was representin.' Congrats to SC on their win, and an incredible undefeated season. I know the Iowa team is disappointed, but hopefully not for long - they had a really great year! Caitlin Clark is bound for the WNBA. That draft is a week from Monday, I think they said, and many expect her to be a number 1 pick.

Tomorrow, the men play their final game. I haven't decided who I will pull for. I hope it's a good game, and no one gets injured.

TSK, LOL. My nearby NOAA weather reporting station must've gotten their issue taken care of, because they are broadcasting again, so my weather radio is back on again as usual, without the loud chirp. Yay!  :D

Lori, I hope you and everyone else stayed safe from the severe weather, and didn't have any property damage.

Karen, yep, if it needs a CAT scan, my doctor will send me elsewhere for that. It's just my guess that there could be a torn tendon or ligament. Hope not. Besides, what do I know... LOL.

E4E, I'm so glad you haven't had any more water getting into the garage! I know that was a very unusual amount of rain you had before in a short period for your area, but there has just been so much rain again, so I didn't know. And Kris being able to get the line clear of any clogs is great! Oh, your father's painting of Mission San Juan Bautista is special. It's so nice you have it hanging in your home. That style of architecture appeals to me, and whenever I see it, I always think of Stanford University!


I hope all the Beakers have a good night. Peace. SED.

Awesome year for Caitlin Clark and Iowa women! It was a great game. She has an exciting life ahead of her. Best wishes to her, family and teammates! And Congratulations to SC! Tomorrow night is the men turn, it should be a good game.

{{{SED Baz}}} glad you're going to the doctor tomorrow. I pray it's just a sprain and easily mended with time and tlc.  :( ... YAY for the OFF button!  ;D

Tsk, I was amazed how still little Beanie was during treatment, such a good little boy.

Puff Quietly sipping tea and bird watching out of your nice clean window, sounds like a lovely Sunday morning.

Lori, I pray you, family and all will be safe from severe weather. Take care.

Eagles, What a special gift your father gave you. A beautiful painting to pass down through your family.  :-* ...the sloths have such sweet and gentle temperament. They are sick, injured, yet, they are so gentle through it all.

SED Karen

{{{SED Phyl, Jim, Maggie}}}

Good night!

Good Morning Everyone. And, Happy Monday .

Currently: 64F cloudy with a   High  73F mostly  Low 61F


  I've lost my comments twice.
So, this will have to suffice--- Maggie and I want to express our thanks and appreciation for all the birthday greetings yesterday.  With a special thanks
to Lori for the lovely birthday collage.
Jim will be off 20mins early to drive me to my PCP's office. Hopefully, an Rx to clear this infection up  will be issued. Had a surprise nose bleed Friday.
 Thanks for the nests updates and family news, game updates/scores. Glad y'all had fun.
 Seeing Eagles picture of Mission San  Juan Bautista, CA brought back memories when I was visiting Dan back in the '80s I rented a car and drove coast highway known as Hwy 101 or Mission Highway . About 10 missions  roughly 10/ 11 miles apart, a day's walk . I have photos---yes I broke the rules.



  Prayers for:     Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Phyl, thanks for the eclipse info! Love the 365! I used to watch an osprey nest in Estonia, I could hear the cuckoos in the nearby woods! Good luck at the clinic this morning, I hope they have help for you so you can get back to yourself! It sucks to not feel well...

Lani, love the Royal Albies party, enjoy watching the videos so much! You will be a busy beaver while Mike is gone next week! It will be so nice outside and you can just take your time making sure your firewising is all in order! Oh, those sweet little sloths, I hope they can heal.

baz, good luck at the Dr today, hoping it's something easily taken care of! So how do you look? Like someone who got into a bar fight? Hope you don't hurt too much... I have pictures of both my Dad and Mom when they fell and it looks so much worse than it was!  Yes, we had our re-scheduled Easter dinner Friday!

E4E, the San Juan Mission is beautiful, I love that style! How special that your Dad's painting has a special place in your heart and your house!

Puff, your birds are thankful, I am sure! We used to have a lot of Cardinals but I haven't seen as many these last few years. We have two pine trees, that used to attract them. The grackles have been here for a couple of weeks, I think they are early! They usually arrive later with the red winged blackbirds but haven't seen any of those yet.

Lori, so sorry to hear about your Uncle Russ. I know he was very special to you... Grandmothers both holding on, and wow, Grandma Luetta is 100 years old today!

Eric Hanson KCCI Iowa
You did it, ladies.
You filled Kinnick Stadium and road arenas.
You set more records than we can count.
You united a country when almost nothing does.
You attracted fans from 3 to 103 and made Hawkeye fans out of Cyclones.
You proved superstars can pass and younger players can rise to the occasion.
Most importantly, you did it all while proving stars can be role models worth lifting up.
Sure, we’ll remember your results.
But we’ll remember YOU even more.
Thank you for the joy.
Thank you for what you did.
And thank you for way you did it.
- From a grateful state of Iowa and millions more beyond our borders

A few blocks away, a neighbor took this shot of a bufflehead duck pair....we are on their migration route. Hard to spot these and often mistaken for the hooded merganser which is found to stay here..

Just yesterday I wondered where my annual pair of mallard ducks, Herb and Sue, were?
I perused my photos and see they are often here by April 1.....they are late this year.

It's a sunny and clear day. It all begins here at 12:44pm and finishes a bit after 3pm. I have my eclipse glasses from Nashville Totality 2017. So I'm set.
The view here will be partial. I'll catch what Im able---my best view will be from our deck looking out over the retention pond and to the left.  Nonetheless awesome.

Lots of little things to do today.
Take out for dinner.

GETTING DARKER.....

 A bit here too, but total cloud cover here.

Ollie man has gone into Chris' room and sitting on his large chair.
Never ever done that before without me......Hmmm?
Even though dogs don't typically look up at the sun I have blocked his access to outdoors. That's not why he's gone in the darkest room in the house...Chris' room

Hi Beakers!

Busy here... I have a small break in the middle joint of middle finger. My primary doc did the xrays, then sent me to the ortho, where a review was done and a splint was put on, and who set a followup appt for Friday with hand specialist, after swelling down some, for further review.

Later gators.  :D

Sorry Baz
Well,  well...   At the last minute we decided to get glasses... in Red Wing, MN and then drive to Lansing, Iowa. We are at the top of Mount Hosmer. As I got out of the car I glanced at our dark car window and saw the sun peek through the clouds! Camper got some great shots of that reflection. We were also able to get some quick views through the breaks in the clouds.
I saw 6 BE nests and many birds on the way down.
I'm sure it will be a longer drive back home... Camper will want to stop and take more pics, now that he is awake. Lol.

In the end we had lots of cloud cover that moved in  f-a-s-t... so no viewing. However, it did get darker--almost dusk and the birds got more settled. That's all.  :(
If the skies were as clear as they were earlier this morning we'd had 80% coverage of the sun.
Although, I did see the 2017 Totality Nashville in August and a partial  in my Junior year of high school . So , ;)

CLynn-Cute snap of the Norths in their eclipse glasses---LOL

Baz-is that all the doc said--'a small break in the middle joint of middle finger. ' ?

We should have gone a bit northeast of here tsk.  I followed along with Chicago 12 station, they were in Indiannapolis.  Not much happening here.  We knew it was getting a shade darker, but never lost the light. :-\  What I did note was the drop and then rise of the temp; it started out at 67 and went down to  63, and now back up again, now at 69.  Ah ha - the ole solar heat trick.  Next one is suppose to be 20 years (?) away.  I guess I'll miss that one.   ;D

Phyl  I'm not aware of what percentage was left here, and it did get strange darker and temp fell - But even at 80% gone there is a lot of energy and light still in the old sun!  The darkest cover on TV that I saw was from Arkansas - Once it was totally eclipsed there was nothing left but dark.  Maybe lasted about 2 -2 1/2 minutes before the sun started peek out with its corona.  Another nice job done was at the Indy Speedway.

No eclipse here!  80 here today.

Tig, looking forward toCampers photos!

Saw Carbondale on  ABC news on the computer!  Total!  Clynn, your mother must have had a black out as well!

Lisa, I do not know what to say about the T nest!  I do not see any food in the nest!  Have been in 6 or 7  times today.  Mrs. t brooding!  My last check in  Mrs T was off the nest and T1 was trying to get out of the  bole,  did not see t2.  She did not bring food.  I do not know!  You will have to look!  Going to steal one of your kabobs for dinner.

CLYNN    LOLOL  Eclipse glasses on the eagles   ::)   Like KAREN suggested, it must have been a total coverage for Mom

KB   Lulu was on my lap as the living room started getting dark - She just seemed a bit restless with head up and looking around.

BAZI  Maybe ortho can just set it and do a small "cast" - likely a splint til it heals? Are you in a lot of pain?  And it is your non dominant hand right?

TIG   Can't wait to see Camper's pics. :D

PUFF    It just got dark like we were going to have a storm.  Lots of light still available at 95% cover.  The total coverage lasts 4 minutes.  I was watching the cities with total coverage fom Mexico to Cleveland to a City in NY and quit when it got to Maine  LOL

Lani - Thanks for the bear study update, beautiful eagle!

tsk - Croissants for all  ;D  You have been busy today.  The kebabs were delish with the fresh cut pineapple on it.  Reading your comment to Puff, that is what it looked like here when eclipse happened, like it was going to storm. 

Phyl - Yay, you got your meds.  I hope they work quickly! 

clynn - Too funny, the DNN eagles and their eclipse glasses.  Did you take the pic while you were wearing the glasses?

Lori - Hi there  :D  Aww, kitty and pup have their glasses on too.

baz - Oh no, sorry about your break in the finger.  I hope it heals quickly.

tig - Sounds like a fun day!

Puff - I saw one of my FB friends who lives in the NE say that their temp dropped 10° when eclipse happened.

karen - Will be happy to share a kebab with ya.  I took a peek just a bit ago.  I did see that Mrs T left for a while, maybe to get herself something to eat and the kiddo's looked cold.  She came back and warmed them up.  I saw a fish in nest, not very big but it was something.  One thing I did notice, there was no bonking from the older one to the lil one!  Thank heavens!

Humph - Nobody told me!
-
White Sox started their game early today, 4 p.m.  Playing the Indians today at their home field - that's in Cleveland, for non fans.  Well, what they did was let the fans in early, at ?? o'clock.  Game was scheduled to start at 4 o'clock, again if you didn't know, that's unusual.

Why do that?  Because of the eclipse!  Fans, and players, and personnel took a break at about at about 1:30 / 2:00 p.m. for viewing the eclipse that was close enough to give them a good view of the action.  Now that was quick thinking, smart business, too.  I might even have gone for the extra action if I knew.

BTW, Sox are already losing, again, in the  5th inning 2-0.

P     

Ooops now 4-0.

Hoping these little ones return to my feeders on a regular basis soon! I put out the 'nectar' fresh on a regular basis even through the winter season, because once in a while a stray will come and feed! :)

Puff - Bet it was nice to have your window cleaned!  I know you enjoy your birds!

Phyl - I bet Maggie got special treatment yesterday for her birthday! :)   I hope you got some help and a good prognosis from your Doctor today!  Hello to Jim and hope he is doing well.   So nice that you enjoyed driving along the coast and Hwy 101 in Ca! :)   Thanks for links and 365 - cute Cuckoo!

Baz - Thank you so much Baz!    I see you have a broken finger - hope you are not in a lot of discomfort and take care and hope you heal completely and quickly. {{Baz}}

Lani - The Sloths are so sweet and special! :-*

Clynn - Thank you Clynn - I do love the painting of the Mission my Dad did, and I will always have it displayed in my home! :-*   Great pic of the Iowa girls!!

Tsk - My Dad painted quite of bit of other subjects;  Buffalo, horses & wagons (western stuff) and a mixture of other stuff.  He would paint from a photo!

Kb - Like your morning pics!   Interesting about Ollie!!

LisaG - Your chicken kabobs are beautiful and they actually look too pretty to eat!! Lol!! Bet they were so delicious!!

Tsk - You had a busy day! Hope you got to enjoy the Eclipse.  I had 2 of our TVs on to watch the Eclipse.  We didn't see much of it over here where we are.  It didn't even get dark.   Let us know what the Vet does to help Lulu's ears.

Clynn - Cute pic of the DNN family by Sue Bruhling! ;D

Puff - I watched coverage of the Eclipse as it went through a bunch of states, Texas, Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio and of course in Mazatlan!  It was wonderful and so fun to watch on TV!

Karen - I see you 'stole' one of LisaG's kabobs, well I took one too! Lol! ;D

Tig - 15 nests!!!! Wow!!!!

Lori - Sending happy thoughts in your direction for Grandma Luetta's birthday today and also for tomorrow for your Grandma Helen's birthday!  Also sending hugs, thoughts & prayers for the passing of your Uncle Russ.

Beakers have a good night.

{{{Phyl}}} sweet calling sounds of the Cuckoo. It reminds me of the sounds of the Cuckoo on the Estonia osprey cams  :)..... thank you for history of eclipses.... I hope you can find some relief with your meds today. Feel better soon.

Puff, During eclipse here, the temps dropped to 42, sky turned the day a bit gray, no bird sounds, it was very still. I think we'll miss the next eclipse..  ;D

Clynn, beautiful planter of Baby's Breath.... A lovely piece written by Eric Hansen for IOWA! Great pics! ... Love Smb's Decorah North's pics! LOL!   8) ... beautiful eclipse pic.

Kb, beautiful young girl and Snow Leopard cubs and their story. Never heard of the beautiful Bufflehead duck.

Lisa, awww Miss Misty  ;D... yummy looking kebabs! I think it's time for us to start grilling kebabs too. LOL! ... Thanks for updating Karen and all on the Trempealeau nest... I pray Mr T will return or another eagle will show up to help Mrs T.  :(.

Lori, great eclipse pics.

{{{Oh sorry Baz }}} I'm sorry, I hope you're not in a lot of discomfort....  take care. :(

Tig, what a fun day you and Camper had. Awesome eagle nest sightings...  Looking forward to pics! Take care.

Tsk, I thought the Mexico eclipse beach vids was cool, you could see the ocean waves slow down when the sky goes dark.... {{{Lulu}}}

Eagles, darling Hummingbird pic, I hope they return too.  :-*

Happy birthday to Lori's Grandma Luetta!

Lani, love the sounds of the cuckoo coming from the forest...I miss the osprey nests in Estonia. I check occasionally but no nesting there in the last few years. I wonder if the goshawk attacks are the reason they left the area.

E4E, gosh, you can have hummers almost year round! I need to figure out a different place for my feeder, my regular place is gone since we had the deck screened in.

tsk, glad Tim is taking Lulu to the vet, ear infection, easy fix. Ed is now in charge of taking Harley to the vet, I can barely lift the carrier with him in it and I don't want to agitate the arthritis in my wrist. Mom said it didn't get totally dark, it was like duck and it got colder. She was at my Aunt Linda's out in the country for their Eclipse Party. Here is a picture, Aunt Linda and Mom under the blankets, not sure which second or 3rd cousin is under the cute eclipse glasses! And the clan of Aunt Linda's Family!

Good Morning Everyone.  Happy Tuesday!

Currently: 61F cloudy with rain ,  a   high 62F,  Low 60F


  Doc appt went well. Had a influenza and strep  swabs---negative.  Doc's NP told both of us to get more rest. As Jim fell asleep in exam room.
  Walked out with a Zpack of  Azithromycin , Rx for a  gel tab for my cough and  another---neither of those will I take---side effects too risky for me  and size of pills too big for me and was told not to crush. So will just tough it out. Unless Jim can find a cough suppressant I can take, a liquid--- it was a rotten nite. This bug has taken Jim over a month and he's
still a mess. But it slowly clears. Looks like I'll follow suite. Antibiotic will certainly help! It's been just over two weeks for me. ::)

Looking forward to Camper's snaps, tks.
Puff, those clouds  dissipated just when we left the hospt.  ::)           The next eclipse in the US will be 2044 and show only in Montana and The Dakotas.             
 
Clynn- looks like y'all had a big family eclipse gathering and lots of fun

 Sadia told Jim that she'd have our lawn mowed for a while and not to worry. God bless her!!! 

Glad Lulu has a vet appt. Hope all goes well.

Baz, glad  you saw the doc and hopefully you'll be good as new.

Hope everyone had a good nite.
 



  Prayers for:     Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

MORNING EVERYONE

CLYNN  Funny metal sculpture  :)   I have a 5' tall black, scrap iron owl with a swivel head that sits on my patio.  I love him.
Tim is in charge of the vet visits with this cat.  He's the one that wanted another cat and offered to do more - so I take him up on it!!  He cleans the littler daily and is in charge of vet visits  ;) ;)  When Barb's cat passed away I got her soft carrier so once I clean it  (outside with Dawn and the hose )we can use that and it will be lighter.  I may get to that this afternoon.  Up to 61. ;D today
That is the cutest pic of Mom and Linda under blankets at their eclipse party  ;D  Good family pic with the matching tee shirts.  Looks like a fun time.

PHYL   Sounds like a plan!  Any chicken soup in the house?   " Napkins please"  Messy North nest  ;) ;)   Snow geese all talking at once.  Murmuration   ;D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRADLEY

Good Morning Beakers

tsk - Hope all goes well with Lulu at vet visit.  Thanks for the birthday wishes for Bradley.  :-*

E4E - Aww, so nice of you to put the nectar out even in winter.

Lani - It is hard to watch the Trem nest, cause you think the worse, but Mrs T seems to be doing great so far. 

clynn - Aww, love the pics from the Eclipse party with your mom and family.  From what I understand, the Trem nest is not on Explore, but on RRP's webpage and you can also view it on YouTube.  That is where I have been watching it.  At the bottom of the RRP page when you watch it there, it says, watch on Your Tube.  I just like the full screen that YT gives you. 

Phyl - Thanks for all the links this morning.

We decided to go at 8 a.m. After leaving at 9 a.m., grabbing a to-go bite, and picking up our glasses, we arrived at Lansing around 1:35 and I saw a sign for the city park. Little did we know it would be a harrowing, narrow, STEEP drive up a mountain with no guard rails! It was much more scary than the trip up to Palisades north of Duluth (if you can relate). There was a nice park at the top but the restrooms were closed, so we stayed only about 40 minutes. We drove around town a bit after before heading home and I snapped a pic of the mural.

Good Morning Beakers!    Partly cloudy, high of 81 degrees!
First half of the game, last night was not bad!  Pretty even match up!   Second half was like Purdue said, ok, You win!   We are going home now!
Bad weather coming here Wednesday night with rain, possible flooding and tornados!    Will keep occurring as long as these  unseasonable high temps keep happening !


This morning. E23 woke up and flew all over the nest area and even out of sight!  He came back to the nest tree for breakfast and was waiting for a food drop when I signed off! 

The Tremplealeau nest is another story!    Mrs T is doing a good job with 2  little  ones.   She has to leave to fish and stretch her wings and must leave her babies alone in 44-46 degree temps!   T1 would like to get out of the bole and t2 seems ok to keep snuggling down!  Both scan the skies for incoming
Food or mama .  Mr. t reminds me of Louis!   Weather he is a new dad or has another family is a  good question!

Phyll, you sound better already!  Have meds and prescriptions. Even if you cannot take all of them!  Lol.  Does Jim have appointments yet?

Clynn, Albion looks like party time . For sire!  Wonderful family pictures!  Too bad your Soring visit did not coincide with the eclipse! 

Tsk, Lulu?

Tig, great day trio!

Off to puck up taxes and a trip to Home Goods.

Dunrovin Ranch Osprey Nest cam
https://sportsmansparadiseonline.com/dunrovin-osprey-nest-cam/

Swoop arrived yesterday, and has been sitting here most of the morning. Usually Harriet is the first to return.
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4b/55/b8/4b55b89b04939d3b8e1e1773333a17ed.png)

I'm not sure if this is Harriet or Swoop tidying up the nest and starting nest bowl. It looks like Harriet to me. But no confirmation in chat room.
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ea/d3/b6/ead3b6826f5de5f6adc3f76024c2ee0d.png)

Clynn, I miss watching Irma in Estonia, and I agree the Goshawks have bothered a lot nests, including the White Eagle's nest that Eagle-Duck loved to follow too... Wonderful photos of your mom, Aunt, Albion family, friends and community!  ;D ... love the metal sculpture! A pet sitter we used for Sadie/Dewey creates metal art. Her creations reflect her wonderful sense of humor.

Phyl, I'm sorry you're unable to take the meds. I guess you have to tough it out like you said.... doc gave good advice to you both, get lots of rest. {{{Phyl, Jim}}} ... what great news to read in the RRP that a male eagle Mr T? has shown up and is helping. I know we've seen so many of our favorite nests lose a mate as season with eaglets or chicks are starting... We're always reminded that nature is harsh, but that doesn't keep us from getting weeping. I know I do, and it's hard to watch.  :( so I just read the updates, then go back when good news happens.  :) ... Napkin please for DN baby. LOL!!  ;D ... and there goes the Snow Geese migrating to the Artic.... great birthday post for Bradley!

Tsk, Love your morning pic! I hope all goes well for Lulu.

Tig, great pics... love the mural.

Karen, thanks for E23 update and more on Mr T. .. Mrs T doesn't need a mate like Louis.  :-\ .. maybe a first time father.

Lisa, RRP blog says there's a male eagle possibly Mr T that finally showed up. I pray that's true and it continues. 

Happy birthday Lisa's Bradley!  8)

Post by: camperstig on April 09, 2024, 01:13:05 PM

yep TSK
The clouds cleared around 2:45. Grr. I actually preferred the broken cloud cover because we could easily steal glances and when there was a break quickly put our protective glasses up. And the clouds and trees added some interest to the pics IMHO. Our rear car windows are darkened so they were a great canvas to watch and record what was happening safely.

Howdy Beakers!  :)

TSK, you may have missed that info in my post before you asked - yes, the ortho put a splint on my middle finger yesterday morning. The hand specialist will see me Friday to review further after more swelling has gone down. I don't expect anything more than the splint that has been already applied, but will know more after that visit on Friday. All 3 middle fingers are sprained. ouch. The small break in the middle joint of the middle finger is a questionable Dx apparently - my primary MD said it's there, and then later, the ortho's PA said maybe it's a break, or maybe it's arthritis showing on that finger's xray. I do have arthritis in all fingers and toes. Whatever, the splint is on for now. What's the word on Lulu's ear? Hope it'll be a short treatment course and that Lulu's all good fast!  :-* :-*

Clynn, those are all great pics of your mother and aunt and cousin, and the whole famdamily!!  ;) ;D So great to get to have that many in the family together, and get good pics for family albums, too! Love the pics from Albion's eclispse festival!!

TSK, Clynn, Lisa, Karen, Lani, and others who asked about pain... thanks for asking, sending good wishes. Luckily little pain, but all 3 middle fingers are apparently sprained, so any movement with them, or pressure/weight on them, sends a shockwave through, but that's really the only pain. The middle finger is the most injured and painful, but not when at total rest. When I am able to keep that whole hand at complete rest, there's no pain. How often does that happen? LOL, you're right... basically never.  :D It's not bad though, and I'm only taking some regular strenth ibuprofen for swelling, and don't really need anything for pain, though that ibupofen is also a pain reliever. I'm not taking much of it, or often.

Tig, nice eclipse pics! Fun adventure - eclipse-chasing.  :D Love the PEFA mural, too!!  :)

Phyl, I hope you and Jim are on the mend and will feel lots better fast!

Lisa, I hope you saved me one of those chicken with pineapple kabob's you put together and that Jeff so expertly grilled. They looked majorly yum!!  :)

E4E, I hope you left one of Lisa's kabobs for me!  ;)

Lani, yay for Swoop arriving back in Dunrovin safely! Talons crossed Harriet shows up there soon, too!!  :-* :-*

The Tremplealeau  nest is a disaster!   The eaglets have been alone all afternoon!  Mrs. t left and Mr. t has no  interest in the eaglets! He shows up less than intermittently!   I wish someone would go up and get these babies and find a foster home for them!   They are too young!

tig - Wow, that is a very pretty mural, and thanks for the link to the article.  Great pics by Camper.  Sorry about the NO guard rails!

karen - Enjoy your trip to Home Goods!

Lani & tsk - Mt T did show up on cam one day a few days ago.  He brought a smaller fish to nest, Mrs T took it from him, he then grabs a bigger fish in nest and flies out.  The times I have peeked in, I have not seen him, only her on nest.  She was gone for a good hour today, but looks like she came back with a fish.  Fed the kids, warmed them up, and looks like she left again.  The nest view looks like it is closer, so you can't tell if she is just upon the side or what. 

Lani - Great pics from Dunrovin.

baz - Of course, I saved you a kebab.  :)

karen, Phyl, E4E, Lani and baz - Thanks for the birthday wishes for Bradley  :-*

LULU report for those interested.   Tim not too happy with substitute vet - " She was young and had glitter on her face/eyes and tattoo on her knuckle"  sigh.  Gave rabies and distemper.  Rabies went well.. Had to do distemper over as not sure entire dose went in.( Tim saw it spray)  Then cleaning out her ears - left more infection than right - pushed swab in too far and Lulu yelped.  She apologized  Sigh... She put drops in and gave him bottle of drops for us to use at home 2x/day.  Lulu maintaining her beautiful physique by gaining only 1/2#  to 9.5#..Vet thought her coat was gorgeous  ;D ;D

TIG   Camper's photo had an ominous feel about it.  Right about the tree adding interest.  Right out of Halloween  ;) ;) 8)

Pip, Kopje and I observed the Total Eclipse very near Grand Isle, VT.
It's an island in Lake Champlain about 20 Mi south of the Canadian border.

Our most gracious host and guide for the event was non other than my truly beloved SIL Christine and her rottweiler Ursula.
Kopje & Ursala had never met before but they got along famously for the entire time.
Chris is as native a Vermonter as you would be hard pressed to find and really knows her way around these here parts.
 
We were going to watch the eclipse from Burlington, VT but it got a bit too crowded for our tastes.
A couple of hours before the eclipse began our wanting to here the wildlife go quiet midday ..
A last hour adjustment was made.

So glad we did as we had the place we were at all to ourselves.
Most Spectacular celestial event I've ever witnessed and I've seen 6 totals.     

The weather was just unbelievably great for this time of year for this part of northern VT.
• The cloud cover was zero and the sky was a perfect bluebird blue.
• Temperature 62° F just before totality and dropped 10° F during .. than back up to 62.
• Winds calm.
• The bird silence during was profound.

This one we will take with us to the end.
We all just nodded as we cheered some mighty fine blueberry wine back at the back 40 in Berlin VT on top of the rock.
 
Very special event in a very special place with very special people !   8)

Puff, what a cool owl cam! Hats off to Wild Birds Unlimited! I love that store, I have a gift certificate I need to go spend!

tsk, oh, I bet Tim was not too happy about Lulu!  Glad she is okay though, no real harm done...  :o

Lani, oh, I do hope that second picture at Dunrovin is Harriet!  I love the busy bird sounds at that nest. I sent the link to my sister Becky so she could see how many birds she could identify with the Merlin AP.

Lori, oh my, you're scanning pictures of Russ. I hope the memories make you smile even though it is sad that he is gone...

Lisa, must be new parents at the T nest.  It may work out, we will just have to wait and see.

baz, well, now you can give the middle finger and it's not your fault!  :o :o

Tsk- you're in 'the pink' today.  No chicken soup. But chicken broth.  Tks for the Bradley BD reminder.  Thanks for Miss Lulu's report---could have been a vet assistant, of a student vet.  Cats are persnickety.  :-* :-* :-* for Lulu

Lisa- pretty bouquet this AM. What are the  birthday plans ?

Tig-tks for Camper's snaps  ;)  I can relate to that drive of yours today.  In  Calif from Palm Spgs.  to Idyllwild is nestled in the San Jacinto mountains. There's a highway spiraling the largest  mountain where P.  Spgs. sits at the foothills. It's called  the "Palms to Pines' hwy. When I was a little girl- young adult, there were on 'guard rails' Nada! Not so sure nowadays.

Karen- the pills for my cough are  benzonatate capsules  . I'm not comfortable with the side effects or the swallowing. So sent Jim to bring home some Robintussin syrup. Just plan 'ol 'tussin' .  I regular use Flonase and Padaday sinsus and  eyes respectively that sure helps loads.
then there' the Mucinex for the sinuses. I'll have to read up on that one.
  Jim is still working on his pulmonary and nephrology appts. Don't ask me which one he as appt with thus far.  ::)

Lani- tks for the updates on Dunrovin Ranch Osprey Nest cam. I sure can't tell  difference. Great snaps  ;)
Sure like that BD for Bradley.  Ziva and Blackie  (?)

Baz- I think,   I should send you a few Maggie 'purrs'. You need some  'megahrtz '. ;D  ;)

Lisa- many tks for the Trem nest. Hoping that Mrs. T instincts are good so it all works out in the end.

Lori- your kitten at the laptop would be me try to do all that photo work.  How kind of you to do all that for
everyone so they can have some memories or U. Russ;  Bradley's birthday goodie looks yummy.

BL--definitely a memorable day. There's nothing like a total eclipse and how it changes everything---even for a few moments.  Exactly how I felt about 2017 Total Eclipse here in Nashville. Just awesome...like you, one I'll carry with me forever!

CLynn- awesome Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.



Jim brought home a cough med I used to take ages ago...Delsym. It's specifically for 'allergy coughs' and is non-drowsy .
 This one is one of the very best.
Gonna have rain--light rain-- for the next few days.

Puff--had a bit of extra time and peeked in on the owl cam just now 11:35pm   Saw mama snoozing on her hatchlings. Then she woke and shifted and
looked in the cams eye.   



Good Night Everyone...SEDs.

BL, interesting report on your eclipse viewing experience and the impact on  you and nature! Thanks for sharing!

My newspaper today reported that our university offered a program in their observatory that was well attended!   They reported a 69% coverage Here!    Piper and I were  surprised.
We were however, dismayed at the weather story that talked about our early heat and storms that are coming to South Georgia tomorrow and Thursday!  They. Report strong thunderstorms pushing our hot air,  with cold air perhaps bring more tornadoes to our county! Fallen tree have not been picked up from last week yet!

Home Goods was great. I am  happy they opened here!     Shower mat,  shower caddy, 2 Ralph Lauren bed pillows,  paper towel holder  and a humming bird feeder.  All under 100 dollars!  Amazing.   Picked up my completed  taxes!   Now wait for the  sound of coins hitting my bank account!
May stop watching the new eagle nest and. Switch to. The ospreys! 

Hope Lulu forgets about the  bad  vet 🤠 .

Caitlin Clark received the Wooden Award today for the best women's basketball player in the nation - for the second year in a row. The award ceremony will be Friday, with the other 4 nominated players in attendance.
Brief report about that, with those other players' names and such (just "X" out/close the pop-up, if you get one, to read it - no subscription required):
https://apnews.com/article/wooden-award-caitlin-clark-cfb8c347dd5ad8258c062684f5bb8321

TSK, awww, Lulu...  :-*  glad she got her shots and ear meds/treatment though. She's a beauty - nice of vet to notice her pretty coat. Not nice of vet to mess up on the shot and the ear swab jab though. Ugh. What do you mean by substitute vet?

Clynn, LOL, you're right - special hand gesture built in!! ... ha ha. I texted a pic of exactly that to my sisters this morning!!  ;D I figured it wouldn't be suitable to post here - but I did consider it.  8)

Phyl, hope the meds are helping you and Jim. Thanks for Maggie's purrs.

(((Lori))), you have been doing a long and arduous task, but one that is a labor of love, and will be a wonderful way to honor and share the many memories of your Uncle Russ.

Karen, I saw your weather report for possible severe weather heading your way - do stay alert and you and Piper be at the ready to take cover in whatever spot is safest in your house. I hope you don't get anything bad. That same front comes my way on Thursday, with the chance of severe weather. If that forecast holds till then for my area, I will prestage my "safe room" so Zip and I can run for it on short notice if we need to.

Lisa, I hope your Mama and family down Mobile-area way stay on alert tomorrow - a very high Torcon chance of tornadoes for that area is forecast for tomorrow. I hope your Mama can stay off the roads when that weather is supposed to go through. I know she is hard put to stay home. LOL.  ;) The Weather Channel said it will not be a fast moving system, and damaging winds and large hail are major threats. It is a particularly high threat for there tomorrow.

BL, what a wonderful experience you all enjoyed yesterday in VT for the Total Eclipse. A true memory maker and keeper. Blueberry wine to top it off, too! I want a glash!  ;)

Lani, what a sweet good night kitty! Sam and Sophie are hardly kittens anymore, they're teenagers! Harley is not hissing anymore (unless Sophie jumps on him). I am also hoping and praying that Iris picks a mate this year! And that Harriet returns to Dunrovin!

E4E, I am so glad for my Mom that her two sisters live close by! They watch over each other and their greatest pastime is accompanying each other on their doctor visits! Aunt Linda's kids live not too far away, they have a lot of family dinners, etc and always invite Mom and Aunt June. It's a good thing!

baz, the finger thing, LOLOL! Thanks for the info on the Wooden Award, have never heard of it!

karen, I looked to see if there is a Home Goods in Evansville, IN, and there is!  I am putting that on our list to go to next week when Mom and I go to Evansville! I think she will love browsing around in there!

Phyl, I sure hope you are feeling better today!

80 years later, and these triplets are still basking in sibling love. ❤️

Good Morning

KAREN   Good job with some practical items purchased at Home Goods   Lulu is another thing .  You should have seen the two of us trying to get those drops in her ears.  :o :o   We have a new plan today  ;) ;)    Rough weather ahead for you.  We have rain moving in tonight and ALL day tomorrow - predicting 1.5" - I have my gauge out now  LOL

BAZI   She was filling in for one of the usual vets we have.  If I had made the appt ( I left it up to Tim)  I would have requested the male vet who we usually get.  There are several vets in this office.   You sisters will enjoy your "gestured" hand  LOLOL    Sure will be interesting to see which WNBA team picks up Caitlin.

LANI   Sweet little "tortie"? sleeping  :)

CLYNN  All of your methods for introducing cats sure paid off.  Good job.  Plan for at least an hour at Home Goods in Evansville.  :o
Cool triplets photos.  Canyon de Chelly must be in the same area as Bryce.

PHYL   365 huge animals up close  :o   Very good pics of the new babies  :)

Wonderful morning pictures! 
Clynn, your am picture of flowers looks like glass!  Lisa posted some the other day that looked the same and I forgot to mention them!   Great photo of the Cherry Blossoms at the tidal Basin, DC!  Kitties getting big!
Tsk, how is Lulu today!
I could have purchased a tom of stuff yesterday but left it for another trip!  I kept thinking, someone will have to get rid of it!   Lol!   There was a great deal on Patio umbrellas but I kept telling myself that I would not be able to move it inside prior to storms so ir is still there waiting for another buyer!


Mrs T was brooding this morning after a brief hiatus off the nest!  E 23 missed a little snack this morning and F 23 ate it!   Hope he sees M in time to get breakfast!
Lani, thanks for  the sloth report!

I'm not watching Trempealeau - too  upsetting kareng.  Little guy just isn't getting enough.  Couple little pieces while the other is fed the most - and that really isn't sufficient anyway.

NorthNest is where I'll hang except for when I pick up on some noise from T.  Glad I got the sales spiel online from WBU - I see that y'all found it a good view too.

Thanks again for all the birthday wishes for Bradley, appreciate them. :D

Lori - Hope you got all of your scanning done yesterday.  ((HUGS))

tsk - Gorgeous morning pic!  I would have been happy with the vet visit, too.  Hope Lulu's ears heals quickly.

Puff - Very cool on the owl cam. 

BL - Sounds like a fun time. 

clynn - I hope it works out for the T's.  I peeked in early this morning, all looked ok, and Mrs T has a few fish in the pantree.  So glad to hear that the kitties are all getting along.   :-*  Love the utensil wind chime.  Beautiful pic of the Cherry blossoms. 

Phyl - Hope you are feeling a lil better. 

tig - Oh yikes, that is something you won't forget. 

karen - Sounds like you had a great Home Goods trip. 

baz - I called Mama to let her know, thanks.  I could not believe that she was aware, as most of the time she tells me she hasn't heard about the weather.  She says, the schools are closing at noon there. 

E4E - We had plenty of kebabs left, sending you some, too!  ;D

Lani - Oh so sweet, the sleeping kitty.

Watch LGK—the adult male from the Top Track nest site—wander into frame and begin feeding his lumbering, down-covered chick. This is LGK's first visit to the nest in more than 2 weeks! Adult Northern Royal Albatrosses can travel vast distances over the ocean to find food for themselves and their chick. In fact, one adult was tracked traveling more than 8000 miles in a single 2-week foraging trip!

Puff, things looking good at North nest. Soon it will be hatch day over in gooseland.

Karen, lots of prayers for Mrs T and eaglets.

Tsk, beautiful morning pic..... Good luck on getting Lulu's meds in her ear. I'm looking at Milo, and shaking my head because it's like a wrestling match for me to give him is pain liguid meds once a day. Right now, he's curled up in his bed looking like a sweet ole boy.  :-\

Phyl, I hope you're feeling better today... the majestic Bison! ... awww your beautiful BBs, they change so fast.....

Harley's colorful ginger fur really stands out in this pic, alongside his sleek and beautiful siblings. Now you can leave on your trip to see your mom with a relieved feeling.... How wonderful your mom has family nearby that help and give lots of TLC. It must be comforting for you and your sisters.... awww Congratulations to the triplets, beautiful pic! ... love the silverware mobile.... beautiful cherry blossoms in DC.

I took Sadie for a walk at 5:30, and will have to do that tomorrow too. We heard the owls calling in the early hours.

CLYNN  LOLOL  I could probably do 2 hours if I had a place to sit for a bit after hour 1   ;D ;D

KAREN    Well for this AM ear dose we tried another method where Tim held he trying to encapsulate her whole body in his arms.  I quickly squirted both ears and rubbed real fast - She couldn't get away fast enough.  Of course at the vet she was a lamb!!   Tim tried letting her smell the dosage bottle first and she made the gagging face  LOLOL

LISA  Love your tulips.   They have some great bunches of tulips at the grocery but they never last too long.  I find daffodils do better and the best are carnations.  ;D   Lulu is shaking her head less today altho I must admit I was gone most of the AM today.

LANI   Wow  Parent covering 8,000 mi in 2 weeks looking for food.  Those "babies" are getting pretty heavy to lift and weigh.  :o   I had thought to try tonight to get the drops in while she was sleeping in Tim's lap.  Suspect it might work for 1 ear and then she'd fly  LOL before I could get the other in.  Oh well.  Lucy was such a good kitty about things like that and she was pilled daily with no problem.  I feel bad what you have to go through with Milo.  :(.     Hope all is well on your yearly check-up  ;)

Hi Beakers! I'm just now turning on my PC for the day to do a few things, and checked in here. I have been folllowing the weather in the south. Many power outs, tornadoes, evere thunderstorms and wind damage, trees down from strong winds, and major amts of rain leading to bad flooding in places. The storms are still going. The forecast for severe weather for my area tomorrow has been scaled back a notch, thankfully, but expect some gusty winds and thunderstorms and lots of rain, and the lowered chance of severe t-storms. I hope Lisa's family and home are all ok in south Alabama, and Karen and Piper in south Georgia, too - severe storms, damaging winds, and heavy rain is still passing through that area and will through the night, with chances of tornadoes. I hope everyone stays safe.

Take care, All. My hand is aching more today, so I haven't been texting or typing till now. Keeping this short. Stay safe, All.

Good night. Peace. SED.

If some might recall,   not long ago, I spoke about living a long this fault line as a child and the occasional  'quakes' we experienced at the time.
Now...thinking of my brother Dan and our Eagles


Part of the San Andreas fault may be gearing up for an earthquake

Phyl, great 365, looks like a male showing off his stuff to win the female, funny sounds! Thanks for the articles, will read a little later.  48 now, high 59 today with some possible rain. I remember that Peacock! Good to hear that you and Jim are feeling better! Hope Miss Maggie is feeling good as well!

baz, stay safe and pamper that hand...

Lani, there is also the face cats make after a butt sniff, and I learned that it actually has a name: When a cat sniffs another cat’s butt, they will often open their mouth slightly and curl their lips back in a behavior known as the Flehmen Response. This behavior helps them direct the scent to their Jacobson’s organ for analysis. I had no idea!  I hope you enjoy your In and Out burger today, sometimes there is nothing better than a good burger! Thank you for bringing the Royal Albys reports to the Beak! Hmmm, is Mr. T bringing fish to the nest?

karen, hope you and Piper are dry and safe!

E4E, now my only problem with the cats is the food. Harley, of course, enjoys getting at the kitten food instead of his prescription food!  I haven't got that all sorted out yet!

Lisa, I like fresh flowers too! Not a bouquet from the florist, but a few from the garden in a simple vase. I am going to try to grow some zinnias this year, they look pretty in a vase and seem to last a while. The kittens aren't yet able to get up on the counter so I don't know if they would bother flowers! I bet your Mom is getting excited for the Miss Fisher Con!

The breathtaking sights along the mighty Colorado River.  It was named Rio Colorado, which means river color red, by Spanish explorers in the 16th or 17th century.  People have lived along its banks for some 8,000 years and each indigenous group had its own name for various stretches of the river.
Today it supplies water to 40 million people, irrigating the farmlands that provide us food and generates gigantic quantities of electricity.

Good Morning!  Storm began picking up an hour ago!   How does 10-12 inches of rain sound?   That is the estimate!  Yard flooded as far as I can see!  Dark as pitch!   Lol, almost a total eclipse !  No corona though!  Wish I had one of those  grassy patch boxes here for Piper.  She does not want to go out!  Rain to stop about noon or a little after!   Expecting wind after that and dryer, cooler air!   Nice weekend predicted!   
The help is expected today but  I would not be surprised if she stays home.  Lots of road closures and she lives in a county south of here!
Lisa, hope your Mama is dry!  Mobile took a hit.
Mrs. t looks ok this am!   Mr. t is a  no show man!  Love em and leave em type!

Lol, Phyl, saw that article on pregnancy and aging!
Stay dry!

Good morning Clynn


 Note,  i coffected the rain amount in a kater post!  Only 3 plus inches!

GOOD MORNING

Not raining here and this afternoon altho cloudy and cool should be rain free.  Hoping to get some mulch down today...

LISA  Miss Fisher Con is in NO  How great is that for Mom and she even helped put it together.  What fun for her  ;D.  Saw the devastation from the storms yesterday - NE of NO... :o

KAREN  Hope the rains weren't too bad last night. Be safe.  Just read your AM report - scary!  Poor Piper.

LANI  Lulu smells everything.  The gag look also come if she smells me chewing spearmint gum  LOL

BAZI   Take care today

PHYL  A memory morning for us today.  ;D  Prairie chickens have a beauty of their own. 365  :)   Well let's hope that quake doesn't occur  :o

Had a break in the rain and Piper waded out to a high pine straw bed around a few tres to go potty!  Such a good girl!    Think it is moving out and north and east!  Temps currently 71 with a high if 81!    Friday and Saturday will see highs only in the 70’s then back to highs in the 80’s.
Just think the rain we are estimated to have would be  3 plus feet of snow!
Schools are closed!  We have rain closures, not snow days!  Lol

Cold and damp tsk  Rain here is just misty/drizzle.  Careful about doing the mulch.  Mike Caplan just said after the rain stops the wind starts.  Might be blowing away the mulch?  Cool again tomorrow, but 70/80 looking good in a couple days. 

Morning all.  Especially the early risers.  Why do we do that????\

karen and all - OMG, 10-12 inches of rain!  Mama said, they had like two rounds of heavy rains where the sky got totally dark.  It does not flood in her neighborhood, but it does in other parts of Mobile, near downtown area. 

Lani - Thanks for the pic of Mrs. T and her fish.  I peeked in early this morning, and all looked good thru the night. 

E4E - Mama is doing good. 

Lani - Yea, I think she is happy she doesn't have to ride in a plane to the Con this year.  She swears she caught the Covid from the plane ride home last year.  I wish I was going with her, but I will be in Decorah.  :D

((baz)) - Thinking of you. 

Phyl - Glad to hear that the Delsym is working for you. Thanks for the 365, RRP and other links.

clynn - Mama is very excited about the Con, it's all she talks about...LOL! Oh, Zinnias are pretty and I bet they would look great in a vase.  Aww, the DNN kiddos.  Wow, breathtaking sights for sure!

tsk - Love your morning greeting.  I am waiting Mama's call, but what I mentioned above was from her last call around 6pm last night.  We are cloudy today, but a lil warm at 70°. 

Puff, kb, tig and all - Morning  :)

Ah,  sun is out!  More flooding and windy conditions by 1-2 pm!   If the wind is not too strong, it will have a nice drying effect!  Not the flooded parts but those surfaces that are just wet!    My last. Weather report til the next  chapter!

KAREN  So happy to have a break so Piper could do the "right thing"  LOL  Boy when you hit the 80's it will really be humid with all that water hanging around.    " Rain days  - not snow days"  :o    Yes you have everything you need  ;D

PUFF   Yes drizzle - enough to soften my hair as Mom used to say.  We should be able to go get the mulch, at least, soon.

LISA   Pretty "blanket" in your AM pic.  A loom product?

Well, well, well. My early morning weather report was wrong!  Maybe they were saying that it was raining at the rate of so many inches per  something  but, in fact the flooding and road and school closures were the result of 
3  plus inches!    I had to correct my reporting! 
Yardpools are gone and Piper had a nicetime outside!

Karen I did see quite a few rain gauge reports in the 7" to 9" range south and west of Valdosta.

So you and Piper did get off "easy" in the 3" to 4" zone up by you.   :)

Hey Beakers!

All good here - loads of rain, some thunderstorms, lots and lots of wind, and will have high winds tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night, with winds expected to gust higher tomorrow than today. Right now, officially at my airport weather reporting station, winds are sustained at 25 mph, and gusting at 45 mph! The trees and 2-story high shrubs out my back windows are going nuts in the wind. LOL.

Enjoyed reading the posts, and glad everyone checking in is safe and above the high water mark. Hope all stay that way!


Karen, just now, live on The Weather Channel, they reported that Valdosta's rainfall today has been 5.5 inches, and they said Valdosta's average rainfall for the month of April is 3.63 inches. And they said today is your wettest April day on record!! So you made the national news on The Weather Channel today! I always say if I see my town on that channel, it's usually not for a good reason.  ;) Congrats to Piper for treading to the pine straw and taking care of business!  ;) Glad you are all safe. and dry inside!!  :-*

That's it 4 me 4 now. Hand.  ::)  Appt with hand ortho tomorrow.

Take care, All.  :-*

Baz- Hope your hand feels better soon, although it must be hard not to use it!  Try not to over-do  :)   Interesting about the amounts of rain you posted!!

Clynn- Yes, understandable how Harley likes the 'kitten's' food more than his prescription food! Lol!  Love the pic of DN17 & DN18 - too cute!!!!  Amazing CO River!!!

Karen - Have you tried leaving a doggie 'potty' pad down on your floor for Piper on those rainy days when she doesn't want to go out?    Yes! At least you still have Power, Computer, Phone and all the essentials!

LisaG- Glad to know your Mama is good!  Does Bandit eat your annual planted flowers outside or just fresh cut bouquet flowers in your house?

Tsk, there was more than 5.5 inches where that road is!    Think the news this morning must have moved from Valdosta conditions to a regional statement of some kind!  Tsk the rain was very , very heavy , fast and steady!  BL, they did say on the local news that the system resembled a tropical storm!   I’m not convinced that it wasn't!  Thanks for the map!

Attention

Do NOT open any emails that appear to come from me. I have not sent any.

Nora's email was hacked some time ago and her contacts accessed and I have been getting fake emails from "Nora" but it is not from her real address. The subject often refers to "sad news".
My contacts may have been accessed. Not sure.

If you get one, report it as phishing and delete. Do not open nor click any link.
Always put your cursor over the address to see where it is really sent from.

Prairie Chicken spring ritual!  ;D... sweet pic of the sleeping Sauces beauties.... interesting article on Filipino women, I don't know if I agree considering my sister's husband/family are Filipino. My sis's MIL is 95, she looks like she's in her early 80's and is very active. A little Mrs busy body, and she had 6 children.  ;D

Clynn, pretty morning pics.... Mr T is not providing or helping with nest duties. I don't know if he's around right now. strange situation... awww precious pic of DN eaglets, thanks to Smb.... In the late 70's we took a river raft trip down the Colorado River. I think it was near Glenwood Springs, somewhere close where Mike had an asphalt road job and I spent a long weekend with him. I held my breath most of the time! It was fun!

Tsk, how funny Lulu doesn't like the smell of spearmint. LOL!

Lisa, pretty blanket.... I remember your mom was sick when she returned home from her trip, I hope all will be well this time.... So, you both are going to be having a fun time that week. I'll look forward to your Decorah pics.

{{{Karen}}} glad you and Piper are doing okay after the constant rain... take care.

{{{Baz and Zippo}}} take care, and be safe from the storms. I hope your appt goes well tomorrow.

Attention

Do NOT open any emails that appear to come from me. I have not sent any.

Nora's email was hacked some time ago and her contacts accessed and I have been getting fake emails from "Nora" but it is not from her real address. The subject often refers to "sad news".
My contacts may have been accessed. Not sure.

If you get one, report it as phishing and delete. Do not open nor click any link.
Always put your cursor over the address to see where it is really sent from.

Thanx
SED

Thanks for helping with the heads-up tig / Nora.  I'll definitely be careful if I see any such posts.

Enjoy the day!  Not only the weekend - better weather is forecast.  We hope.

Lani, so happy to hear that you have been renewed for another year!  I bet that made the In and Out burger taste even better! Mr. T sounds like Louis...  You made me think of Ed's older brother Bob when you mentioned Mike working on a road crew. Bob has a degree in engineering and worked for Palumbo, road construction in Chicago. Ed told me that Bob got rich working for Palumbo but swore he would never go to jail for him. Several of the Palumbos have been in jail for bribery and bid-rigging. And it sounds like his sons have carried on the tradition of serving jail time... Ed always said Mafia...

Phyl, hope you are getting better each day!  No fun being sick when the weather is nice! I agree, too much OJ on the news yesterday. I think most felt he was guilty and got away with it because he had $$$.  Great news, I am glad to hear another egg at Sauces, I thought they had given up! The North nest looks good! Love the Prairie chickens in the 365, all of those guys trying to win the lady's favor! They are beautiful, I have never seen one in person!

BL, thanks for the Led Zeppelin!

karen, 5.5" is a LOT of rain! And it will be deeper wherever the land is low. There were certain places in Springfield where you could always count on flooding with rain in that amount. Like the Cook Street railroad overpass. It was like a well! And around where we lived, in the older part of town we had to figure out a way to get around the flooded streets to get home! Good for Piper, he's a good boy!

E4E, Harley had his breakfast this morning and is now sleeping under the bathroom sink!

baz, hope you get good news at the Dr today! Stay dry!

tsk, did you get your mulch? I have 4 bags left from last year but I will be watching Fleet Farm for the BOGO on mulch!  My hostas are starting to come up! Hostas and Impatiens, that's what I am doing this year. And Dusty Millers, they do well! The Knockout Rose bushes need to be moved to a sunny location in the back yard, just not enough sun in the front because of the trees.

Benny Bruhling - Flying High, With Decorah Eagles: Decorah 04/11/24:
Goodmorning my fine feathered friends. Normally I don't photograph in the rain, but this was a special exciting occasion. As most of you know by now, a new nest in the pasture tree is under construction. This tree is located halfway between N1 and N2B on the same side of the stream as N2B. Decorah Eagles  - Sue Bruhling and I came down yesterday to investigate, after reading Gina Moccia Galligan post about construction being captured by live cam, it was a must go trip and the rain wasn't going to stop us. Time now to drink my coffee, get dressed and back to the hatchery, not sure what the weather man has in store for us today, but we will be there.

GOOD MORNING

PHYL   Hope that Z-pack has kicked in and that you are feeling better?

TIG  I do that all the time.  Our pastor gets hacked all the time.  Hover my cursor because I know he would never email me  LOLOL

LANI   Never had a cat before who sniffs every inch of everything like it's her full time job.  LOL    Your spring tune up was a good one.  You passed GO and are good for another year  ;D   What a sweet good night photo - Hugs back

PUFF  We should hit 61 today - partly cloudy.

PHYL  Beauty of a morning on the flyway.

CLYNN   Bella looks so cute.  Tooth fairy box?  Safe trip tomorrow.  Wear your eye patch!  That hotel in "Chicago" where OJ stayed is about 1/2 mile from me.  LOL  It's still there.   I always use dusty millers as part of my bird bath garden.  They last way into fall.
What!!! another nest in the Hatchery area??  Confused tho.  If N1 is on one side of the bridge and N2B is on the other - How can the new nest be between them  yet on the same side as N2B???

Yesterday laid 20 bags of mulch in the front garden and today hope to finish washing all inside windows and screen.  Got my porch all cleaned and am already enjoying my favorite spot.  I hire to have all outside windows done.    Have friend Kathleen's wake later this afternoon and mass tomorrow AM.

Good Morning Beakers

It has been a busy week here - between work, sports and family, it seemed that I was always busy... ::)  So time to get caught up on some weather and videos.

I watched some of the Live weather with Ryan during the tornadoes this week - lots of damage and flooding in the SE...   :(  In the meantime, we did not get much here - .14 on Sunday and .2 yesterday - it was partly cloudy for the eclipse, high thin clouds that made the view thru the glasses as blurry at the peak (87%) here.  We had a temp drop of 2 degrees.  Forecast for the weekend is dry and near 80 for Sat. to Mon. and then dropping to near freezing for lows next weekend.

The Garden Center is fully stocked for the weekend - expecting it to be very busy - and I get to work it -  ::)  The plant tables were almost full when I left work yesterday and another truck was expected this morning with about 4000 more plants - half of them the small 6 packs.

Lani - your comment about the river rafting brought back a memory of a classmate that worked her summers during college on the Colorado river, guiding a raft down the river.  It was an unexpected job for her - she was an A student in HS and played sports, but was a quiet type.  She worked there in the early 70s.

LISA  Yesterday's mulch project took the both of us only about 45 min so that was OK.  Today the first round of windows was 1 hr 45 min. Then I rested a half hour.  The second round was an hour and now am resting.   I have 32 windows not including the 10 on the porch!  LOLOL   Insane.  Tim just repaired my garden soil where the "deer incident" was.  :(   Lunch is on the horizon and I'm done for today.

OLDGUY   That was a cute Walter Santi piece esp when kitty rubbed up against Walter and then slaps him as a thank you  LOL  Maru ate much of the Hana b-day party food standing up.  Never noticed that before.

Then college, Navy and four years with Dean Witter..... then ran it with his brother after his dad died.  His mom asked him to return home.... sad story for Ed's brother...When Aly was little, she admired one of the women who ran the heavy asphalt compact rollers... Mike took both girls to check out the jobs, Shannon stayed in the car, but Aly wanted to run the machines. LOL!.. is that a new pair of eagles building a nest in Decorah territory? Maybe one of Decorah dad/mom's? I wish they would band the eagles... Have a good day getting organized before you leave tomorrow...

Hi Lisa, Eagles, Puff, Tig, Kb, Karen  ;D

Oldguy, The Lowe's/Home Depot traffic/parking lots were packed yesterday, so I can imagine what it will be like for you this weekend... I bet your classmate enjoyed her job.

I thought it was right singular, after all the posts about people's cats' reactions to different aromas - saw this yesterday... thought it was interesting, considering the related topic and posts in The Beak recently.  :D

Howdy Beakers!


My visit with the ortho hand specialist today went well. They did more xrays. They confirmed all 3 middle fingers on my right hand are sprained, but those sprains aren't severe enough to require any special intervention, and should recover on their own in time. Meanwhile... OUCH! They also confirmed the middle joint of the middle finger is broken. They replaced the original (lame) splint on that finger with a much more substantial one that protects it all around. Almost.  Well, at least way mo' better than the original splint!! Yay! They also told me that if I'm very careful, I can take it off to shower and put it back on. YAYAYAY!!!  PARRR-TAAAY!!!!   ;D  But they manipulated my hand and fingers so much in their evaluation and treatment that I was about howling by the time I walked out. I survived it though. LOL.  ;)  I go back again in 2 weeks. I ran a quick couple of errands and then went scrait home to take anti-inflammatories. Ahhh.. some better now.


I hope everyone is dry, in one piece, and has power today. Stay safe!  HAPPY WEEKEND!!  :)  :-*

Let me see if I can clear up the "New Nest" confusion.
The pair of eagles that are building the new nest by the road bridge (C) are Hatchery Mom and Hatchery Dad.
Something must have failed at the nest that they just built up on the Bluffs.

The new nest is about 1/2 way between N1 (A) and N2B (B).
N1 is to the south of Trout Creek and N2B is to the north of Trout Creek as is the new nest.

Click on the spinning globe to close that box. Hover over pins for labels.

Let me see if I can clear up the "New Nest" confusion.
The pair of eagles that are building the new nest by the road bridge (C) are Hatchery Mom and Hatchery Dad.
Something must have failed at the nest that they just built up on the Bluffs.

The new nest is about 1/2 way between N1 (A) and N2B (B).
N1 is to the south of Trout Creek and N2B is to the north of Trout Creek as is the new nest.

Thanks, BL!!!  :-* That clears up my "cornfusion."  ;) :)  Talons crossed for the new nest under construction, and the nesting season, for the Hatchery Mom and Dad Eagles!!   :-* :-* :-*

Thanks, Oldguy!!  Great pic!!  :)

Lani, I missed your post earlier about Dunrovin's osprey, Swoop, accepting a new female there, and that Harriet hasn't returned there yet. I'm very sad about Harriet.   :(  :-* If she isn't able to return this year, then I hope Swoop and the new female there will have a good nesting year.  :-*

Tig, glad you got the monitor. Hope the month goes fast! Meanwhile, you'll get a change in your regular routine a bit.

Lisa, glad no flooding at your home. Stay safe!


Good Night Beakers. My hand is done for typing fornow. Peace. SED.

P.S. The smoke alarm over my bed starting chirping 15 minutes ago - every couple of minutes!! !! NOT my weather radio this time!! WHA'??How can that be?? I'm going to dust it with my extension pole duster and see if that fixes it... the battery shouldn't be run down yet! It's less than a year old, and the battery is for backup only - the batteries in my smoke alarms only activate when I lose power, because the alarms are wired into the house's electrical system. I'm hoping maybe a "bug" found it and I can take care of it with my duster pole ... else I have to pay someone to change the battery - need an extension ladder to do it. Ugh. So weird it's happening after the false alarm the other day, too, Good law... and my Weather Radio just now blared while typing this!! whaaa?!? - a severe t-storm warning for 2 adjacent counties. Lots happening in my bedroom!! LOL!  Oh lawww... I sure hope I don't have to listen to that smoke alarm beep over my head all night tonight.  ::)

Post by: baziunc on April 12, 2024, 05:58:03 PM

Update. LOL, I could've sworn the smoke alarm beep was coming from my left side, as I sat at my computer, meaning it was coming from my bedroom. I went to get my extension pole and screw-on duster, and stood under it. There was a beep - but not from the one in my bedroom! LOL! So I stood under the alarm at the top of the cathedral ceiling in my living room and waited. The beep beeped, but not from that smoke alarm either!! !! So I stood under the smoke alarm in my front bedroom, and BEEP!! That's the one!! Good law... That one is the "master" alarm - all 3 of my smoke alarms are connected, and maybe the latching got messed up when I thought my alarm was beeping the other day and I went around testing them, when it turned out that was the time it was the weather radio and not any of the smoke alarms beeping. But maybe I got them out of sync or something. Anyway, I pressed and held the master alarm in the front bedroom, and it hasn't beeped again since them. So I'm hoping it just needed to be reset. I don't really think that would be the case though, because if so, it would've been beeping for the last 2 days, and it hasn't. It isn't my hearing. LOL! Maybe a bug was in that one - a wayward little house spider or something, which can set them off, and he got blown out, or skedaddled, after I sounded it just now. LOL. Anyway... the good news #1 is it isn't making any sound now. And the good news #2 is that alarm is on a ten foot ceiling, and I can change its battery myself using my step ladder when it needs it. But I don't think it needs it now.

The End.

Oh puh-lease... while I was getting ready to hit "Post" on this it started beeping again. I'm going to get my step ladder out and change the battery in it right now! !! !!  Sheese. At least it's the one I can reach myself!!  LOLOL!

LANI    Hip dog - too funny  ;D  I would have stayed in the car  like Shannon   LOL   Swoop's new lady friend is a real beauty and easily identifiable.   I may have missed somewhere but why does Swoop do that "submissive?" behavior when Beauty was on the nest

TIG  So you can't get this monitor wet?  How would you describe it?

LISA   What do you know about that "new nest" being built - further along the bike path down from N2B???? Is that where it is?  Never mind - I see BL has a visual..

BAZI  Wake started at 4 and I got there early at 4:15 - Already a 10 min line...Lots of photos to pass by while waiting. :'(   Interesting about the worst cat smells..Would never have guessed some of them - I may try my coffee grounds and AM banana tomorrow to check it out. :-\     Good visit except for trying to stay in your chair with all the pain.  :o :o  Did they try and straighten the 3rd finger or do they rely on the splint to do that.  You  had mentioned, I thought, it was at a wonky angle?  I just completely deleted 5 sentences of explanation  based on the first note about your alarm beeping  LOLOL  Should have read on..

BL   Now I can sleep tonight - thanks for that pictorial explanation.  I would have gotten it if someone had said new nest was closer to where the horses graze or North of N1   LOLOL   So HM and HD have been ID.  Sure do wonder what happened there!!!

Good evening beakers!   ;D.
Had a beautiful weather day here with some wind! My helper called in the agency with a need to stay home with her son!   They sent a replacement  and that did not work for me! She   Did help me make a pot of chili and swept the porch!  I suggested she could go home if she wished!  She did!   Lolol!  Chili was good, now in the fridge in individual containers for another day!  Dishes and pots washed and some , put away!
After the help left, I got i. The car and took a little drive!  First attempt since I fell and ended up in shady  pines !   It was a tad more difficult than I thought it would be with my eye sight!  Will try it again soon!
Interesting to see what  the hatchery kids will do for a home!
Tsk, wish I had been out spreading mulch but, not windows!   Hate that!
Prayers for Kathleen’s soul!
Only had help 5 hours this week!    My back began to ache reading about Tsks work!
Clynn, take care on your drive and hug your Mama for me!    Have a good trip to  Home Goods!   Bella looks cute  and proud of her mike stone!   Hope tge kitties behave forEd.
Baz, put a baggie on your hand!   Tape it on!
Good to see you OG!

NOTE: I composed the post below a little over 2 hours ago. LOL, just as I was getting ready to hit "POST," I noticed my TV went quiet... and the picture was still... You gotta be kidding me... ha ha ha!!!  I lost my internet and cable TV!!! Spectrum outage in my area - it just now came back on. So I'm going to leave this last post for today, that was supposed to have been posted over 2 hrs ago.  My Frustration Gauge is at FULL for the day... I need to empty it.  ::)

__________________________________________________



I changed that goldarn battery in the bleeping beeping smoke alarm. Peace at my house at last!  ;D ;D 8)

While I was at it, I also changed the filter for the heat and A/C air return - on the ceiling in the hallway a few feet from where I changed the smoke alarm battery. Done. And done.  ;)


TSK, it sounds like there may be many people at the funeral tomorrow. Hugs.


I wonder what led the Hatchery Mom and Dad Eagles to abandon the nest at the bluffs - I don't know what state it was in... I don't think I even realized they had established a nest at the bluffs either. Maybe a storm took it down. I have lost track - didn't they have an eaglet? Or egglet? I've gotten all discombobulated about what the status was for them this nesting season! Anyway, they will be closer to the hatchery raceways now, if I understand where they are building now... and the trout stream. Thanks again, BL and OG.


G'night, All. I mean it this time.

Peace. Out!  8)

Tig - Thanks for the head up, but no weird emails from you over here! ;D  Besides, you will usually text, rather than email! :)

BL-  Led Zeppelin!  8)   Great map of the new nest location!

Lani- How exciting that you have rafted on the CO river!!  I too, love In & Out Burger!  Good for you in planning out what you will be doing when Mike is gone next week.  I bet you get a lot done outside!   Beautiful Osprey pic!

Phyl - Cute DNN pic!

Clynn - How cute Bella is with her first tooth missing1!  Can't wait to hear if the Tooth Fairy visits her!!   Have a fun and safe trip to your Mom's!!    Awe, Harley sleeping after his breakfast!   Thanks for posting Benny Bruhling! All good, even the song!

Tsk - So nice of you to attend your friend's Wake - I'm sure it is appreciated to see you there!   Wow, you & Tim are busy outside! ;D

LisaG - Okay, glad that Bandit isn't interested in eating your outdoor flowery plants. :)  Wow, you detoured twice today!  Hope it didn't take you too much longer!

Og - With temp at 80 on Saturday, I bet you will be very busy in the garden area at work!!

Tig - Camper is so sweet in how he watches over you! :)   But then, I know you do the same for him!!

Baz - Interesting how some kids lose an upper tooth or a bottom tooth as their first lost tooth!

Karen - Yum! Bet your pot of chili was delish!!  Nice that you got out and took a little drive. :)

Top teeth or bottom teeth first...

Which tooth do kids usually lose first?
Baby teeth, also known as primary teeth, milk teeth or deciduous teeth, usually begin to fall out around the age of 6. Girls often lose their first tooth before boys, and the most common teeth to lose first for children are the bottom front two teeth (known as lower central incisors).

Can kids lose top teeth before bottom?
Losing Baby Teeth: When Do Kids Lose Teeth & What to Expect
The baby teeth usually come out in the same order that they came in. The bottom front teeth go first, followed by the top front teeth, and so on down the jawline in order.  Jul 30, 2019

{{{Tsk}}} thinking of your friend Kathleen, family and friends... sending hugs.... ospreys do the submissive pose when they are mating or they first see their mates after the winter months apart.... kind of cute.

Hi Lisa, I had a good checkup, good for another year!  8)

{{{Tig}}} you and Camper take care.  :-*

{{{Baz}}} Good Lord! All this beeping! Way too much activity going on in your home for someone with a broken finger and much rest is needed. I can only imagine how Zippo dealt with the noise....  Glad your ortho hand specialist went well.... my cats don't seem to mind the citris or scented candles, considering I have them going all the time. And they hang out with me. And we live in a pine forest...coffee grounds, bananas...  poor things are surrounded by smells they can't stand, hm, that explains a lot.

Phyl, I checked on the Sauces nest. I guess something happened to the egg.  :-\ ... Harriet has had this nest for almost 14 years or at least as long as I've been watching. Her first mate Ozzie was killed in the summer by an RTH in the summer of 2014. If she does not return, it means something happened during the winter months or on her migration south. Ospreys are very territorial like eagles.

Thanks BL for explaining the new Decorah nest. That's a shame the other didn't work. Someone thought they might have eggs. I hope they didn't... I hope all goes well for them... great map of Decorah.

Oldguy, awww mama cat and 4 kittens. I checked out other rescue videos from Cat Man Chris. I follow all of the rescue vids you've posted. So many animals in need of a home.

{{{Karen}}} sorry about your help situation... chili sounds good.... good for you trying to do a bit of driving. It's been one day and one step at a time and you're doing fantastic! Sleep well tonight, you've had a busy day.

SED Eagles, Puff, Kb  :-*

{{{Clynn}}} Safe travels and have a great time with your mom and friends! Lots of prayers will be said for you on your travels. :-*

Good night!
Iris returned home tonight after a couple days away.

Good Morning Everyone.  Happy Caturday !!

Currently: 43F clear with a   High  77F sunny,  Low 38F

   Hurrah, Iris is back !

Lani- I remember about Ozzie/Harriet. It was my 1st year (2014) in
here when  Ozzie was killed  that summer by RTH . Yeah I know if Harriet doesn’t retun it’s  cuz ‘something’s happened’. But one can hope for a fairy-tale outcome.
Re: Sauces, yeah ‘chat’ said egg broke. That’s been the problem last season and now this season. Jak and  Audie may try again. I hope they do.

Baz-if you don’t let your hand rest….! 
Karen- you’re doing some driving? Great. 
You know, I have been thinking of  making a batch of chili all week long. 
Clynn- hope you arrive at your mom’s safely


  Prayers for:     Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Phyl, looks cold in the 365! Saving the videos for when I get to Mom's. Love the cat in the litter box reading the paper! I feel so bad for the Sauces eagles, one year they laid 7 eggs,,, They need to move. ::) ::) Hope you and Jim and Maggie are all back to normal, as normal as normal can be!

Lani, so HAPPY to hear that IRIS IS BACK! I just checked the cam, she is on the perch watching over her nest...  I am glad there is a female at Dunrovin, we never know when one will stop returning until they don't. Update on Richmond and Rosie (their nest fell in a winter storm).

SF Bay Ospreys - Richmond has spent at least part of the past two nights on the crane cable, near the nest they built last year, while Rosie continues to roost on cables at the far end of the SS Red Oak Victory. Around dawn they move to the light pole nest they are building. Watch live at www.sfbayospreys.org.

oldguy, thanks for the tooth explanation! I always thought it was the bottom two first, Talon's were that way too. I can't remember mine! Mom and I will be going to Menards in Princeton, IN and I am sure we will have to bet some flowers! Love the Momma cat and her kittens!

baz, what an ordeal with all the chirping! CRAZY!!  I remember when my sister told us she was at Mom & Dad's and told them they needed a new battery in their smoke detector, it was chirping. They said they had been looking for a cricket for 3 days! Hope your FINGER heals fast and will still works. We all need that middle finger... ;D ;D ;D

E4E, the Tooth Fairy left Bella $5, for the first tooth!  We thought we were rich if we got a quarter!  Love the ocean picture!

tsk, I was thinking of you yesterday and the service for your friend...

BK, thanks for the map showing where the new nest is!  That area will soon be a subdivision!

karen, you are doing great! Soon you will just need a housekeeper!

Gotta go and get stuff gathered up. I still have to write specific instructions for Ed about feeding the kittens and the big cat! His neck/arm is finally starting to feel better.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING

Gorgeous day yesterday and another one today.  :)

TIG  Thanks.  I like to keep up on these things...

KAREN   WOW  Took a little drive - first in a very long time.  Tim wants to hire out everything but I look at it as exercise and as long as I pace myself it is fine.  I listen to music or some narrative on my phone to make the time go by.

BAZI   WHAT A DAY!!!   Hope you had a good night's sleep.   Showed Lulu the coffee grounds and banana - No reaction.  LOL

EAGLES   I thought that might be the Monterrey Peninsula so I googled and it was.  That was a beautiful ride around it.

OLDGUY    LOL  That tooth topic intrigued you.  Thanks for the research  ;D   Boy that must have been some rescue in that storage container.  Glad it happened.

LANI    Yes.  I never knew that before about osprey.  Certainly very deliberate behavior.   Feel so bad for Iris.  She is a senior bird citizen..  Safe trip for Mike tomorrow.  Nice to know someone is with him.

PHYL   Funny cat in litter... ;D   All cat posts were funny  ;D   Cat with the catnip was so funny .

tig - Good luck with the monitor, and hope all is OK!

baz - Glad to hear all went well at ortho hand specialist.  I hope you heal quickly. 

BL - Thanks so much for clearing everything up on where new nest is located.

oldguy - Great pic of HM!

tsk - I do have the new tree where they are building the nest that I took at ATF last year.   It is directly behind Willard's house on the corner, but on the other side of the creek in the front horse pasture.  There are three trees in a row there, and one on the very end heading N is what RRP calls spooky tree.  We would see them eating on that branch/tree sometimes last season.

Phyl - Yep, Mama will be fine at Miss Fisher Con. 

karen - Sorry your helper wasn't that helpful. 

E4E - No, the detour wasn't too bad, just had to drive thru some water.  This pic was down by one of the detours.

clynn - Be safe, and have fun!!

Off to the store!

Lisa!  That cat looks like it put a claw in the electric outlet!   Yikes!  Lol!
Is the picture of the flooded road on your side of the bridge or the Annapolis side!   If your side there has been a lot of building since my last trip over!  Maybe 30-40 years ago!  Lol!

Clynn, I am not sure I can do all my own driving!  My vision is not as good as yours!   I have always enjoyed driving and  still would but seeing traffic on the right is a problem!  Will keep trying!  The other issue is that my license  expires the end of May!   I know I would not pass the eye exam at the  bureau and I do not know if they will issue one with a note from the doctor!

Have a safe trip and fun time in Illinois!

Wonderful day today with temps now at 65 degrees and going to 75, late this afternn!   Then the next 7 days, highs in the mid to low 80’s!   Then, dropping down a bit!   Flood watch here until mid week but no rain so must be rivers getting water from drainage from the north!

Tig, nice heart monitor!   I. Wore one if the buky old ones years ago and this looks much more comfortable!  Good luck!
Wonderful Osprey pictures!  Poor Iris!  She has not been receptive to new males in the past so hope this year might be different!   Is Louis back?
Happy caturday!

karen - This is on my side of the bridge, after you cross the Chesapeake Bay, another lil bridge called Kent Narrows, which separates the Chester River and Prospect Bay.  There are some seafood restaurants and hotels right around the Kent Narrows area.  That is where we go to eat most of the time.  Kitty does look like he put his claw in electric socket  ;D

Puff - I checked a lil bit ago, and it looked like several of the goose eggs are pipping!  Hope to see the lil yellow goslings soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Paulie!!

Phyl, beautiful nature vid.... cute Caturday pics and videos... spreading out the catnip is how Milo and Norman like it!  ;D

Clynn, love the outdoor plant furniture! R & R light pole nest seems to be coming along. Must be windy the cam is shaking. The SS Red Oak Victory is where they spend their time. Cool! Goodness, the Tooth Fairy loves Miss Bella! I won't tell our girls how much teeth are going for these days! They got a quarter too... Glad Ed is starting to feel better..... We'll be thinking about you, sending prayers and safe travel.  :-*

Lori, awesome birthday greeting and cake for Paulie!  :-*

Tsk, Mike is traveling alone this time.... I should Milo the coffee grounds and banana peel, he gave me a look "Does it look like I care WTH"

Lisa, that's a lot of water you had to drive through.

Karen, Louis and his mate Star returned a week before Iris. Their nest is on the baseball field on the other side of the large college building near Iris's nest.

Puff, thanks for the goose pip alert! I check on them every night, but forgot about hatching time! Wow, I think it's 4 or 5 eggs that have pips! Including the first brownish one.

Why are these emperor penguin chicks jumping from a 50-foot cliff?

The first-of-its-kind footage, taken in January 2024 via drone, captures a rare event that may become more common as sea ice declines and penguins are forced to adapt.

#1 fan of the "HUG" therapy, Phyl.  Never hurts - always helps.

They may not be big, but those penguins are certainly brave.  Anything for a meal.  The report said the parents had left them earlier.  They got the message didn't they.  Wow!

Good Morning!    The baby Ts are in the bole this morning, looking around I guess waiting for Mama to return!   E 23 has only received a squirrel on each of the last two days!  Wonder if M is telling him to start fishing!  Lol
I think it will be interesting to see what Hd and Hm do when the geese  leave N1.   I do not think the tree with the new nest looks like a good place for them.  Seems like there are too many small sticks all over!
Interesting that RRP does not feel it is necessary to band eagles as they have learned all they can learn about eagle behavior but they keep banding falcons!   They have been documenting them for as long!   Next up, the Goldens?
Temps going up to the z80’s here today as well Tsk!  Hope you and Puff get your suntan lotion on!
River flooding will not affect my house.  One year it did cause a road closure as tge little bridge was covered with water  and some houses were flooded but Piper and I will be fine!

Finally getting around to posting, as I was watching the geese this morning, and then needed to run to Walmart. 

karen - I am kinda interested to know what HM & HD will do too, once the geese leave.  I know they have started building that new nest, but will they return once the geese are out the nest.  :D

tsk - Wow, you are warm today!  We are only supposed to be in the low 70's, but it is cool feeling. 

((Puff))

Phyl - Wow, those penguins.  Thanks for the links.  Thanks, and you are right about no sleep for a long time.  ;D

Lani - Love your good night pic of MG & FG.  I have noticed this FG is very different then the others we have had on N2B in the past years.  The poor MG over at N2B, she hardly sees her mate.

What a joy it is to see all six hatched. I watched #6 this morning before Mike left for the airport.
He's packed and on his way to Sky Harbor in Phoenix for his trip to Ohio then Louisiana on Weds.  :)

Looks like the family may jump sometime today. Mom is giving #6 more time to rest up for big jump and waddle over to the stream.
I can hear children's voices in the background father goose may be waiting till the wind settles down too.... I pray all goes well.

Looks like there's a couple of feisty babies in the family. LOL!

Tsk- Yes! That picture of the tree & ocean is on the Monterey Peninsula!  :)   Did you ever live in CA?   My mom is watching the Master's too!

Clynn - I used to get a quarter from the Tooth Fairy too!  Hope you are having a great time with your Mom and friends!

Tig - Hope you are getting used to your monitor and that it is working well for you. {{Tig}}

OG- Interesting about baby teeth - thanks for the info!  Liked Catman Chris and the rescued Mama Cat & her kittens  :-*

Baz - Hope your finger is healing nicely and that you are trying not to over do!  Cute Caturday stuff yesterday!

LisaG - Nice pic of the detour you took the other day!  Thanks for posting the RRP pic from fb of the nest in Decorah  :)   Nice goose pic!

Phyl- Jim does his weeding the hard way, but it probably gets the best results as he is getting the root too - "good job Jim"! :)  Thank you for the great links.  :)

Lani- Safe travels for Mike - sounds like a very busy week for him.      I too, hope there are no rocks beneath the tree when the goslings take their big leap.  Be safe little ones. :-*

Karen- Nice warm up for you!  We had rain yesterday, but today is mostly dry and a high of 60.

Hi Puff, Lori, BL, Kb  :)

Where is Kb? 

Paulie- If you see this, hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday! :)

Thank you All for letting me do a little catching up here.  Yesterday turned out to be quite a busy day.  I had begun the day with taking my mom to a haircut appointment, then in the afternoon, I got busy with cleaning out a closet and then made dinner, cleaned up and started watching something on tv and that was it - went to bed!

Beakers have a nice Sunday afternoon  :)

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

I haven't had a chance to look yet - wondering if The Jump happened yet today. I hope all goes well, whenever The Big Leap happens!  :-* :-*

I walked a brief 20 minutes today - kept it short at the request of my right knee and foot and my left hip and ankle.  ::)

My hand is about the same. The 3 middle fingers are sprained, but the sprained ring finger is progressing some - yay - I can support some weight with it now and use it for light duty assistance, though it's still fairly swollen around the bottom section. My sprained index finger isn't happy, but it does seem a bit better. I still can't support weight with it - no muscle strength with that finger yet, but I can curl it a little further since its swelling has improved a bit. The middle sprained finger, that also has the fractured middle joint, isn't ready to do anything yet. It gets in trouble a lot because the splint makes it stick out where fingers shouldn't be sticking out, lol. I can't count how many times I have turned on my car's windshield wipers with it when I turn my steering wheel in the direction of the wiper handle.  ;D ;D ;D

I have been missing getting enough sleep. Last night, I had "crash-and-burn dreamtime" as a result.  ;D  That always makes for some wild and crazy dreams. Wish I could remember all of them - very entertaining! I remember in one dream, Seth Meyers (host of "Late Night With Seth Meyers") was my boss! He wasn't a TV host in my dream, he just looked like Seth Meyers. He wasn't nice to me in my dream!! LOLOL!!

Time to fix a bit to eat... but first some Tums - I just got a case of heartburn!  ::) :P  Sheese.


Later, Gators!  :) I'm going to turn on the Tv and see if there's anything left to watch at The Masters, or see who won if it's over. :)

Jim will finish his weeding after work  on days when it's  cooler. Everyone, but me is snoozing. I use to nap on Sunday afternoons---too much to do.  Sipping on a vodka and orange juice on the 'rocks'. Roast beef sands with horseradish mayo, lettuce and tomatoes, either French Onion or Tomato Bisque soup. Garden salad and a brew each.  I don't make dessert anymore soooo .



Eagles- where's KB?... where's  Tig? E4E, You and your mom  :-*  ;)  :)

Puff- IMHO 'hugs's don't cost a cent and deliver $100's in return.

Tsk- I just cant' watch this season's 'leap'. Last season's fatality broke my heart ...how that late hatcher scurried  all around the nest to catch up with the
older ones. Caught it's tiny webbed foot on a twig and well... I know, I know that's Nature and all. But,  suppose I'm just too tender hearted. Been that way
my entire life.    81F w/ winds feels like 77F.

Lisa-pretty basket of fleurs today.

Oh Lani!- look at those darling goslings.  :-*  Like you pray the 'leap' goes well...very well. ; Hope all goes well 4 Mike

Karen- now that's a word I haven't heard in a bit...'piddly'.   Aren't you cutting 2023 taxes close?

Baz- take care of your hand  ;)

LANI  Great clip.  Every time I tuned in today - Mama was sitting on them  LOL     A "two fer" for Mike  Safe trip.

PUFF   I think we maxed at 81 in my yard.  Great Masters.

EAGLES  Never lived in CA - Traveled there twice tho.  Amazingly we all have lives  LOLOL  You were busy.

I agree with Eagles - haven't seen KB today..

BAZI   Your splinted finger has a mind of its own  ;D

KAREN   Early?  Deadline is tomorrow...

Tell Jim to take it easy on the yard work! 
I am assuming Clynn did well on her trip and is enjoying catching up with her mother and all!  No news is goid news!
YesLisa your flower basket is very pretty and vibrant!  Your pictures in the .decorah thread are great!   Love BLs discussion on the new nest tree location!

Stuck to my two hour curfew tsk.  Came back in to a cool water and fell asleep at the table for almost 2 hours.  Crink in the neck now, too.  I'll be out tomorrow with doctor appt - he'll think I'm - don't know what he'll think.  LOL

Wasn't much good to watch for me - Bulls and Sox both lost; Hawks haven't lost yet.  Masters always gets me teared up.  A lot of time and hope goes into that game.  I can't really imagine when - after years of practice- that you get to stroll through the canyon of people clapping/saluting for you.  That's got to be a rush!!!!

Hope the majority of us had the same nice weather today.  I think we did.  I even look forward to only low 70's tomorrow.

Good evening all - Enjoy!

Phyl- Thank you for providing the link for the geese family!  I watched a lot of it today and figure the big event will take place tomorrow.  I want to watch, but then, I'm like several of you here. where I have to say that I don't want to watch.  I've been so heart-broken in the past when everything didn't end happily like I wanted it to. 

Lani- I had my laptop on the kitchen table where i could watch almost constantly and it looks like the big day will be tomorrow!  Part of me wants to be watching, but part of me says not to. :-\   Has Mike checked in with you - hope he arrived in Ohio and is safe & sound. :)

Karen- You are sure keeping busy with things!  You & Piper have a good night.

Baz- It will take time for your hand to heal - just take the time to let it happen.  I know you keep busy, but you have to let yourself heal. {{{Baz}}}   Take care!! :-* :)

Phyl- Good that Jim will continue the weeding when its cooler!  Enjoy your yummy sammys for dinner! :)

Tsk- Okay, I knew you had mentioned CA in the past on different occasions!  Well, IF you should ever come to CA, please come by here.  You & Tim and Lulu would all be welcome to stay for a nice visit!!  I know Lulu would not want to leave your home to travel, but just mentioning that she would be welcome!! :) :)

Puff- Glad you enjoyed the Masters and had a nice weather day! :)

Clynn- I'm sure you are enjoying your trip! ;D

LisaG, Kb, Tig, Og, Bl, Lori  :)

Beakers have a nice evening - SEDs! ;D

Phyl, thanks for nature video... amazing video of penguins.... been streaming the goose family all day... glad you're feeling better, but don't overdo.  :)

Lisa, Gorgeous floral basket.... Decorah Father and Mother Goose are a devoted pair, very calm and serene together, great parents. It's been a joy to watch them and enjoy seeing the goslings longer than we usually get.  :-*

Tsk, the Masters had a great weekend for golf. Stunning golf course as always... great golf! I had the Decorah goose family streaming on living room tv and golf in another room.

Eagles, I hope your mom is doing well.  :)  your day yesterday was like mine today. Cleaned winter coats, put away winter clothes/boots, spent time cleaning closets too... Mike arrived safely in Cleveland. He called me after he settled into the hotel and was heading to bed. It was 10:30 by the time he checked in.

{{{Kb, Tig}}} I hope you both are well.  :-*

Baz, Even though it was a 20 minute walk, it must have felt good to get out. I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight! I've had a few weird dreams on sleepless nights. Take care.

Karen, I always think no news is good news for Clynn too, especially since she has a hard time with wifi at her moms.... you'll be ahead of the game for next year's taxes... Louis won't leave Iris alone and takes her fish again. There is another male wanted her attention, but Louis stops that.  :(

{{{Puff}}} We had the same nice weather.... I hope all goes well with your doctor appt tomorrow, and he thinks nothing but good things.  :-*

Good night!

Baby periscope keeping close watch on the back!  :-*

...

TSK,  AMEN!!! I'm very PO'd about the LIV/PGA "merging."  >:( >:( >:( I saw a quick blurb before the start of The Masters that Greg Norman was going to be there... I didn't even bother to see any further into that report. I'm just about done with it, but, like you, I have been checking into the Majors - but not watching much of them - typically just tuning in during the last part of the last 2 rounds. I saw Scheffler's last 5 holes yesterday, and the Green Jacket ceremony.

Any Beakers who are thinking I am over-using my hand, or not giving it sufficient rest for healing, please know that I am following all of my ortho's orders, and I'm NOT over-using it in any way. Thank you to those expressing any concerns that I am not resting it enough, but it doesn't apply in this case.  ;) :)  I have only been sharing my "status report" - which does not indicate overuse, in fact, I have been reporting on how there has been some improvement each day. I already know healing takes time, and I am not rushing it. Thanks, again, for all your good wishes.  :) :-* :-*

I've been making the live cam rounds a bit this afternoon.

The North nest is enjoying a very pretty day! I saw a parent on the North nest with the 2 eaglets, who were side-by-side looking out over the pasture... surveying their future fledgling flight area.  ;) :-*

I also saw a parent on the Trempealeau nest with the 2 eaglets alternately napping and raising their heads to look around or re-position themselves. The parent didn't have a dark fleck in its lower left eye's iris, so I'm thinking it might have been Mr. T.  :-*

I didn't see anybirdy at the empty GSB peregrine cliff nestbox cam.

I could hear a lot of geese honking and such around the Hatchery nest cam, but nobirdy on the N1 nest when I looked.  ;) :-*

There was a parent goose brooding on the Decorah Goose N2B nest cam when I looked just now. Notes there say hatch should begin on or around April 20th.  :) :-*


Have a great day, Beakers!  Keep looking up!!  :) :-*

I want to know about. Little goose number 6!
Sincerely hope that was Mr. t at the nest but he is an absentee dad most of the time!
Then there is Louis!  Remarkable how human behavior is sometimes mimicked in avian and other wildlife groups!    Iris Kick him out! 
 Now, would you believe 90 degrees on the weekend?  Temos going down to the 70’s  the next week!  Ooh!

Karen, I want to know about little gosling #6, too.  :-* I hope we get an update from RRP later today or overnight.

This is a picture of a real gator... LOL... in my retention pond, taken 2 days ago. The pic was a cell phone pic, that I enlarged many times, and then cropped - so it isn't very sharp. On the left, in the red circle, is the current resident pond gator, Swampy, who has lived at my retention pond for a few years now. You can't see all of his tail in this picture. On the right, in the red circle, is Balou, the Little Blue Heron, who is a regular at my retention pond for a couple of years now, and he is the largest Little Blue Heron I've ever seen.   :-*

Karen, Baz,
Posted by mod GABear on the Decorah Chat roll April 15, 2024 

From Raptor Resource Project:
"What are we looking forward to this week? It's been a busy morning and it's going to be a busy week!
The goslings at N1 jumped this morning between 8:02 and 8:04 AM CDT. Five of the six made it, but one did not.  MG and PG have herded their five surviving offspring downstream to deeper, more sheltered water. Perhaps we'll see them from the N2B cam, where goslings should start hatch on or around April 20. It took just a few hours for another goose to come in and lay an egg at N1, so don't be surprised if you see more geese, eggs, and goslings in this nest. The goslings at N2B should hatch on or around April 20."

LISA   Are you kidding?  The nest didn't even cool off yet and another goose laid another egg?  Crazy.

BAZI  That's my speed with pro golf now as well.  Very sad what has happened.  LOL  Glad someone cares enough to put eclipse glasses on that gator!  :o ::)   You live in such a wonderful place surrounded by all that nature - in your backyard and on your walks.

LANI   Thanks for the update on N1 and N2B and back to N1  LOLOL

karen - You could have called me.  RRP announced that they did find the last one.  I felt sorry for it too, and it always seems the last one to jump is the one that either gets hurt or dies.  I broke down and turned on the AC.  The cats looked like they were dying! It's only 79° outside.  I had all the windows open, and it felt good in here.

baz - Glad to hear that your hand/fingers are healing!  Oh my, does Swampy bother Balou?

Lani - Thanks for the post from GABear!  She is a very good Explore mod!   

tsk - I kid you not.  I turned my head to watch TV, and heard a goose honking.  I look up and one is in nest.  I was like, hmmm, is MG coming back to check for #6, nope...this gal is laying an egg!  I also saw a bit ago on cam, another goose below nest laid one on that cement thing under nest.  Goose eggs dropping everywhere!

Moss Landing, Ca - Kris worked there at the Moss Landing Marine Lab (San Jose State University) for 10 years until he retired in 2022.  We love this nice little town, it is special, as my Dad worked in Moss Landing for the Kaiser Brick Plant (now closed) 38 years until he retired in the 1980's.  My family has history in Moss Landing; I had 2 uncles who worked there too.  We went fishing and had picnics in this sweet little town.  Okay. enough history - sorry.

Karen- I too was hoping little #6 would show up.  It makes me sad when one of the goslings is missing after the Leap.

Lani- I was surprised to see how soon another goose showed up at the same nest where the little goslings had just jumped.  I was so hoping little #6 would be found.  This is why I didn't want to watch, but of course I had to.

Phyl - Hope your dental appt went well this morning. :)

LisaG- Thank you!

Beakers have a good night.

Tsk- today's post by Amy was definitely one of the most interesting and informative she's put together.

Tig- continue to hope all goes well w/your heart monitor

Lani- many thanks for the Royal update and photos; will chek out videos later ---they're always great . Glad Mike is in OH safely

Eagles- dental appt went well.   The teeth are all shiny clean extra white.  ;)   Doc said he didn't see anything needing 'attention' . Glad
he was there to day. I took the opportunity to say "Good-Bye' and that I'd miss him. 15years is a long time .
We usually laugh as he's a 'Phillip' and I'm a Phyllis.

Lani, Lisa and all --many thanks for the 'Leap of Faith' report. So glad I didn't watch.  Although ,I've seen enough that it all plays out in my mind anyway.  :(
Prayer for '#6'  :'( :'( :'(  :-*

Phyl, pretty bird on nature video... thanks for rrp, and two articles. I've bookmarked them... glad all is well with your doc visit, and you were able to say goodbye... pretty good night pic.

Tig, glad all went well at the pool... I hope the engine light is an easy fix.

Eagles, I hope your eye doc appt went well... I googled Moss Landing, it looks like a lovely community.... I bet Kris had a very interesting job with the Marine Lab.

Lisa, I'm going to miss the serene personalities of Mother and Father goose.... poor #6  :'( ... I wish the new family a peaceful life.... I can't believe another goose has laid claim to the nest so quickly.... geez, no more quiet peaceful eagle country... honk, honk, honk all day and night!

Baz, thanks for the live cam updates.. I didn't realize N2B was so close to hatching... love the gator with the eclipse sunglasses... You live in a wonderful area.... cute pic of  Swampy getting a bit of sun and Balou...

Karen, I'll post pics tomorrow of Iris and her nest redecorating. Louis came and got his way with her, then he went back to his mate at the other nest...and a new male would like Iris to take an interest in him.... She allowed one visit with him, then wing slapped him away. He needs to bring her a fish tomorrow...

Good night from Decorah North!

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!!  :)

Yesterday, I walked 21 minutes - only 1 minute longer than my walk the day before, LOL, but at a faster pace, so covered a bit more territory.

Today I walked 25 minutes, but without the quick pace, due to the complaints from my right knee and left hip... but got 'r done.  ;)



Tig, ugh on the check engine light, but yay on it turning off - hopefully it's not a problem anymore. Talons crossed!! I was wo0ndering what might make that happen, and found these next 2 ideas about it when I googled it, and I copy/pasted them below:

Why would check engine light come on and then go off?
It could indicate an issue with your vehicle that comes and goes. This is known as an intermittent fault, and it's a sign that the problem is borderline. Something is close enough to wrong that it occasionally triggers the light, but the problem occasionally recedes to the point that the ECM doesn't register an error.

Check Engine Light on and Off: Causes & Fixes - wikiHow

wikihow.com
https://www.wikihow.com › Check-Engine-Light-on-and...



and also found this idea:

Search for: Why would check engine light come on and then go off?
Why does my check engine light come on then disappear?
Self-Healing Condition: In certain cases, a problem that triggered the check engine light may resolve itself without any intervention. For example, if there was a temporary fuel system issue or a loose gas cap, the system may correct itself, leading to the check engine light disappearing [3].

Hellgate Osprey cam - Iris is mantling, hopeful male osprey on the left of cam pic and here comes Louis flying in to dominate the nest!
Louis has been to the nest several times this morning to keep the hopeful males away. This situation saddens me, as a long time viewer as this nest, it's like watching her being alone again, no permanent mate or possible chicks to brood.  :-\

SWFL Eagles ~ E23's CARRIES ITS 2nd PREY ITEM TO THE NEST 🎉 Mom Brings Moss & Dad An ACF! 🐟 4.14.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osQgSR56EMk

Apr 15, 2024 #southwestfloridaeaglecam #eagles #baldeagles
E23 has now brought in its 2nd prey item to the nest - this time carrying in its talons some RK mammal (appears to be squirrel). The first prey item that E23 brought in was on March 28th was some RK rabbit that E23 got from Dad on the ground.

E23 did not eat the prey at this time but flies off towards the pond. F23 comes in shortly after E23 left and is seen carrying a big clump of moss in her talons. E23 sees her and lands on the nest and squees and mantles the moss lol F23 stays on the nest because she sees the prey that E23 brought in off to the side - but E23 is not about to let its food be taken and continues to mantle and squee. Finally F23 goes to the attic and inner limb and E23 eats its prey! We do not know where E23 got the RK mammal but most likely got it from Dad and flew with it to the nest.

M15 will fly in with an almost whole ACF - armored catfish and E23 is there to claim it. E tries to open it but can't because the skin on the ACF is very tough so E just leaves it on the nest and goes to the veranda and attic, E23 will fly off and head across the street for its next adventure! Thank you for watching!

KAREN  Tim will be getting an injection on the 24th for his left L4-5 sciatica.  He can't wait.  Takes a while to get things going as you well know

BAZI   Good investigator for TIG's engine light issue.

KB  Good to see you.  Is all OK? or are you just exhausted with outdoor maintenance?

LANI   Too bad Iris isn't more dominant - if that is a thing with female ospreys.  Males submissive postures?  Don't seem to see that here.   Thanks for the update on E23's hunting progress.  Sure is getting the idea, road kill or not  LOL

I see where you Iowans have some serious weather going on now!!!    I think CLYNN will soon be a part of that system.  We will get some of that beginning early evening they say

Hello Beakers

It has been a wet and windy afternoon in Iowa...  We had a high of 76 before the rain came in - now down to 62.  We had a siren event around 3:30 , but that was about 10 miles to my NW and then the weather station showed a tornado about the same distance to the SE.  We got 1.15 in of rain so far, and not expecting any more rain tonight.  The current strong storms are now entering Illinois to the south of Davenport and then runs north to Dubuque.  This line of storms is likely to move up to Rockford and eventually up to Milwaukee tonight.  So Clynn will get missed and most likely most of Chicago from the strong storms.

KB  Sounds like a perfect birthday dessert.

BL  That storm took a turn to the north and I think skimmed most of our area and took in Milwaukee and Green Bay.  We just got a very light rain about 2 minutes and now the sun is out.

OLDGUY   You are right - The system took a more northerly course.  CLYNN spared.  You got a good rain tho.  Cats will be cats no matter the size  LOL   What a great story about the girl and the cats that came with the house  LOL

Hope against hope with Iris and the 'men/ man ' in her life.

Karen- hoping you have a good visit w/ortho  and the injection helps, alot;
so happy SWFL's E23 was seen on the cam flying high near his home nest

Tig- here's to more 'bounce'; glad the 'check engine' alert wasn't bad

Lani- tks for the SWFL video of E23, many tks to Lady Hawk  ;)

Tsk-thinking of Tim and his injection on 24th

Lisa-tks for sharing Karen's snap of E23  ;)

OG-enjoyed the mtn. lion w/ the swing; nice story about the young homeowner and four abandoned kitties  ;)


Jim has his 1st appt w/pulmonologist tomorrow PM.  Samsung decided that my iPhone's OS was obsolete and  this AM when I booted my phone up...it went straight to 'download to target'. This has been in progress since 9am. I don't think this will every stop. The print on the screen is so small I just cant' read it even w/ glasses...seems, I think, the key s are 'locked'.  :-\        I want to go to the ATT store and see what the fellas there can do.  I:m without a phone period.

Phyl, Hi there :) you can power down your phone and power back up, this should fix it.  You are in a diagnostic download screen for technicians.  If it won't power off, press and hold Volume Down and the Power or Side button for about 7 seconds until it restarts.  I hope that fixes it :) Good luck to Jim tomorrow and I hope all is well with little Maggie and you!  Feel better soon!  Lori

FOBBV Eagles 🦅Jackie & Shadow appear to bid their eggs farewell 😥 Together and in song💕🎶2024 Apr 11

Shadow and then Jackie visited the nest just after sunset. It seemed they may be bidding farewell to their eggs after a very long post-viability period. They ended the evening roosting together and in song. Both a heartbreaking and heartwarming  process that we are grateful to have been able to observe.

1.6 inches in rain gauge.

Ugg, I dropped my laptop sideways on my big toe last night...my thermos of water in other hand slipped and dropped. In attempting to catch thermos, laptop fell out of other hand.

Can't really walk with that foot without pain...am mulling over whether or not I can take Ollie to his vet for his toe nail clip and purchasing his flea and tic meds later this morning.
Ice and heat and maybe a call to ask they help me get him out of the car and into a room quickly.
After all, they did that with Covid restrictions, sans human going inside.

Or else I'll just re-schedule, LOL...amazing how 3 pounds landing perfectly on a toe can hurt/swell.

We did have some rain and distant thunder last night.  Gauge reports 0.6"

So at 2:46 AM I'm awakened to a symphony of bird songs!!!  Not even the hint of daylight yet.

PHYL   Good that Jim finally has a pulmonologist appt.  You didn't need phone issues to add to that  :(   Loved that Mexican/ art piece this AM.  I like colorful things  LOL    How sweet - that little fawn struggling with first steps. 365  :)    "Hysterical strength" Great term.  :o    Pretty dreary on the Flyway today.  Jackie/Shadow  :'(

KAREN   Wonder how CLYNN fared?

LORI  Sure hope your advice helps PHYL   WOW  Reading on, you were able to help PHYL   :-* :-* :-*

LANI   Ohio to Baltimore to New Orleans  YIKES  HUGS to Mike.  Tim did a ton of traveling early in our dating and marriage.  When he quit Zenith to get into the printing brokerage business all that stopped.  He was relieved.  Sure hope that eye on retirement keeps Mkle going.  :-*

KB  LOLOLOLOLOL   That was hysterical a true laugh out loud for me.    You got a nice rainfall  :)   Funny you should mention the injury to your toe. OUCH   SIL Barb in Fl dropped a table on the top of her foot while cleaning the other day.  Boy the pic looked awful.  I said to ice ( which she had started) and wrap figure 8 in Ace bandage.  Amazingly she had no pain  :o :o :o.  Went to get xrays anyway and she was OK...

Good Morning Tsk and all!   I do not know what the weather was like in Albion yesterday but looks great today!  Clynn is about as far from Springfield as you are so  perhaps  not in as much wind!    Showers tomorrow .  Looks like a cloudy day there Saturday for her return trip!   I thought we might hear from her since Erin fixed her mothers computer  speed.   Hope all is well there and in DesMoines with Ed, Kelsey and the kitties!

Phyll, good luck to Jim today!  Did he get an appointment  with the cardiologist?
Good job Lori!
Thanks for all the nest reports!  Hope all do well!  Mrs. t seems better!
High  of 84 today.  Flood alert until 2 pm!  Later
Aha!  While I was getting ready for the housekeeper, there was Clynn!   Have a great lunch!

📺 SLOTH TV
🦥Sloth Preschool Update:

JJ, two-fingered sloth: JJ is stable and gaining weight; soon to be entering Sloth Elementary!
Beanie, two-fingered sloth: Beanie’s hind limb mobility remains limited, so we continue to provide her with regular physical therapy, including acupuncture treatments. She is otherwise stable.
Fiesta, two-fingered sloth: Fiesta’s umbilical cord wound has almost completely healed, so we have removed her bandage, (which she has been very pleased about). She continues regular nebulization treatments to address her ongoing lung issues but has been doing well.
Bruno, two-fingered sloth: Bruno is eating better and gaining weight, but still has a reserved prognosis.
Tulip, two-fingered sloth: Tulip is officially spending nights outside the incubator with the other babies! She has had some loose stool but otherwise appears stable.
Nevada, two-fingered sloth: Little Nevada is steadily gaining weight, but is still spending nights in the incubator. She has developed wounds on both hind limbs, which we are cleaning with antibiotics daily.
Rose, two-fingered sloth: Rose has been having some mild digestive issues, so we are providing her with transfaunation. Otherwise stable.

NEW ARRIVAL
Pixie, two-fingered sloth: Premature Pixie was found alone in the Limón Province of Costa Rica. Appropriately named, she currently weighs 244 grams, making her the most miniature baby sloth we have ever had in our care. She is receiving nebulization treatments to address some breathing issues and to help open up her nostrils. Though she is eating well, due to how underdeveloped she is, she has a reserved prognosis at this time.

🌳Sloth Elementary / High School Update:
GRADUATE:

Mimi, two-fingered sloth: Welcome our newest graduate to Sloth Elementary! Mimi’s disability doesn’t slow her down one bit. She is eating lots of leaves and is incredibly active.
Moose, two-fingered sloth: Moose spends most of his time on the play structure, practicing his climbing skills and napping in the hammock with his buddy Grover. He has a great appetite and is the strongest of the group.
Grover, two-fingered sloth: We are pleased to report that Grover has completely recovered from anemia. He is incredibly active and has a healthy appetite. 

Continues recovery:

Phoenix, two-fingered sloth: Phoenix is gradually becoming weaned off smoothie. He has a healthy appetite and has been eating many leaves in his outdoor enclosure.
Binx, two-fingered sloth: Binx is doing much better adapting to an outdoor enclosure and starting to eat more leaves. Stable and growing well.
Elmo, two-fingered sloth: Stable and gaining weight. Elmo is doing better in an outdoor enclosure but still has an attachment to its caregivers. We are working on it!

NEW ARRIVAL:

Natalia, Three-fingered sloth: Natalia was found alone in La Virgen, Costa Rica after her mother abandoned her. Despite this, she arrived alert and responsive without any apparent injuries. She is currently at a healthy weight and remains active, spending much of her day in the trees of the Sloth TV Playground. She is almost ready to head to the Release Site to continue her rehabilitation process.
Marina, three-fingered sloth: Marina was found in the Limón Province of Costa Rica, dehydrated and alone on the ground. We have been providing her with fluids and monitoring her carefully. She spends most of her days in the trees on the Sloth TV Playground. She is almost ready to head to the Release Site to continue her rehabilitation process.


🎓Sloth University Update:

Coco, two-fingered sloth: We are relieved to report that Coco is once again stable. She has spent the past few weeks in the clinic gaining back all the weight she lost and is nearly ready to give it another go!
Pax, two-fingered sloth: Pax is ready for release! He will return to his wild home sometime this week, and we are so excited to see how he thrives!
Antonio, two-fingered sloth: Antonio is set to be released sometime this week! He is doing great in the largest of our pre-release enclosures and has surpassed Pax in weight!
Myrtle, two-fingered sloth: Myrtle has reached a stagnant point in her release process. She is showing signs of anemia, and we are closely monitoring her condition at this time. We are hopeful that she will make a full recovery with a little extra TLC.
Spike, two-fingered sloth: Spike is stable and eating well once more. He is growing stronger every day.
Ken, two-fingered sloth: Ken remains active and has been eating well. He is progressing steadily.
Roo, two-fingered sloth: Roo is stable and progressing well through rehabilitation.

Marina :-*

Jim has his 1st appt w/pulmonologist tomorrow PM.  Samsung decided that my iPhone's OS was obsolete and  this AM when I booted my phone up...it went straight to 'download to target'. This has been in progress since 9am. I don't think this will every stop. The print on the screen is so small I just cant' read it even w/ glasses...seems, I think, the key s are 'locked'.  :-\        I want to go to the ATT store and see what the fellas there can do.  I:m without a phone period. Jim has too much going on ...my neck has been 'seizing up' and difficult to drive much on my own.   ::)  Hopefully there's time tomorrow to see ATT.

Phyl, Hi there :) you can power down your phone and power back up, this should fix it.  You are in a diagnostic download screen for technicians.  If it won't power off, press and hold Volume Down and the Power or Side button for about 7 seconds until it restarts.  I hope that fixes it :) Good luck to Jim tomorrow and I hope all is well with little Maggie and you!  Feel better soon!  Lori

Dear ((Lori)),
thanks for hearing my plea.  :-* 
So that's what the fine print was saying! 
I got it restarted and then shut it down to charge at night.
 
Everything booted just fine this AM
 ;)

HOORAY to Lori!

Just as simple as she said - Made for a good feeling for you this morning Phyl - I'm sure.   ;D

She deserves one of those special hugs I talk about.   (((Lori)))

Karen- Hope you had a good appt yesterday with your Orthopedic doctor!

Tig - Glad your engine light is out now.  Nice of Camper to have taken care of it and got breakfast!    Enjoy the pool today  :)

Kb- Great to see you!  Hope Chris had a nice birthday and glad you shared his birthday wishes from the Beakers with him. ;D  Great idea that you had Chris' birthday treat delivered - especially with the weather situation!    Ouch!! Just read about your toe  :o  You are right to ice it right away!  Hope it starts feeling better soon.

Baz- Liked your birthday post for Chris!

Lani- I too wish Iris could find a much better partner. ::)   I bet it is hard for Mike to get any real rest when he is on those business trips.  Hope he will be home in just a couple of days or so (?).    Thank you for Sloth report/status!  I will need to come back to it, as we are expecting company here in just a little while!

Tsk- I watched the weather reports on the 'Today' show this morning and it was shocking to see the damage from Tornadoes.  A lot of places having scary weather. :o    Glad that Tim is on the calendar for getting that much needed shot for his Sciatica.  It is terrible to be in such discomfort.

LisaG- Beautiful pic of E23 for Karen!! :)

BL- Thank you for checking on the weather.

OG- Thank you too for the weather status you posted yesterday.

Phyl- Terrible to have issues with your phone.  I hope you are somehow able to get over to your phone carrier and get help immediately!  You have to have your phone working correctly.    Wishing Jim all the best at his appt this afternoon.   Pretty night picture!     Just read your reply to Lori and am so glad your phone booted up nicely and is fine now!      Thank you for all the Cam updates & status!    The Big Bear Valley nest was one I had been watching and I was so sad for Shadow & Jackie and how they would not give up brooding their eggs even though it was clearly evident that the eggs would not be hatching. :'(

Lori- Good phone advice for Phyl! :)

Hi Clynn!  That is pretty good news about your Mom and that it won't be necessary to have surgery!  That's a relief for all of you!  Have a great time with the girls at your late lunch/early dinner date!! :) :)    Enjoy your trip to the Greenhouse tomorrow - that will be fun. ;D

Puff- Nice warm hug you posted for Lori! :)

Our company just got here!!!  Got to go now!! ;D   It's hubby's brother and his wife (they are retired too)!!  They will be spending the night!!!

Beakers have a great day!

Pool went ok today. But in speaking to someone about being tired I mentioned it might be an emotional thing due to the monitor situation... and I teared up. I know it is not dire, maybe I'm just worried about the test results. What? Me worry?! Bother...
I successfully changed out the patch and charged the device today. My skin isn't irritated... so far. Yay.

Thanks!....Brenda was the name of my favorite employee..from NO...either in CA or MN. She just said her Momma used to say it to her all the time...I never heard it before her in CA in the 80's. Been saying it ever since.

She was so incredible an employee. Saw me through so much in my Santa Monica CA practice when I brought Chris as an infant to work with me. Had a special room set up for him and she watched/fed him as well as took care of my patients. Saw me through earthquakes, a bomb threat, and finally an idiot former mentally ill patient from a previous practice who stalked me and showed up at my business.
He jumped over the window to where Brenda sat and Brenda went to Chris while I ran out and called police.
Neighboring business' guys came and attacked him.

One of the many reasons I left California.

Never heard that saying before Brenda...hope you are well Brenda.

Good Morning Everyone.

Currently: 67F cloudy  High  86F  partly sunny,  Low 65F

Did I say pulmonologist?  ::)   I meant nephrologist. Jim's doc agrees w/ the PCP  and Dx is Stage 3 Kidney Disease . However, she's running bloodwork and 'the other test' along with a scan of his kidneys--all to confirm her diagnosis.  Date for kidney scan TBA.  She also said that the heart and kidneys are opposites in that the heart likes 'less' fluid in the body and the kidneys like 'more'. But with heart disease the heart always will out over the kidneys. And, that it's her'job' to find that half-way  (happy medium) for the two organs.  I am extremely concerned for Jim. I watched him and doc chat as he answered questions and all. 


  Prayers for:     Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

That's a baby eaglet under the debris by the woman's hand with red nail polish.

Story posted in DNR fb page but the nest is in Hastings, MN

2 of the 3 eaglets did die, but one was alive and taken to the Raptor Center in St. Paul MN

Story posted by Scott Northard:
Yesterday morning the Bald Eagles nest just north of Lake Rebecca blew down in the high winds. For the last 14 years, we have used a telescope to watch the nest out of our back window and have seen eagles hatch in all but 2 of those years. I had been watching it that morning and noticed the eggs had hatched and the adults were feeding some baby eaglets. When I looked again a short time later a large branch had broken and the nest was gone.
We immediately called Carpenter Nature Center and they said they would send some of their staff out to see if the eagle chicks survived and if they could safely transport them to the University of Minnesota Raptor Center. We met them at Lake Rebecca Park, and found the tree and what was left of the nest on the ground. We found 2 dead baby eaglets, and while we were listening, we could hear a tiny peeping noise. After digging through the pile of sticks and twigs, we found a third baby eaglet still alive. It was gently removed and put in a cloth inside a box and transported to the Raptor Center, with another eagle from Welch that was also rescued that day. The Raptor Center reported that the eaglet arrived safely and is under their care.
Although it was sad to see the nest go down in the wind and 2 of the eaglets die, we were grateful that one could be rescued. Hopefully, the adult eagles will rebuild the nest nearby and continue to raise more eaglets.
Many thanks go out to Jen Vieth, Al Maloney, Sarah Germscheid, Tess Zahradka, and volunteer Dwight Smith of Carpenter Nature Center for their quick and professional response! And thanks to the U of M Raptor Center for their dedication to rehabilitating these magnificent birds when they need our help. We are fortunate that caring groups like this exist in our community.

Lani - Awww, love the sleeping pups. 

Phyl - Thanks for all the links this morning. Hope everything works out for Jim, and the doc can get him fixed up.  My brother had heart, and the same stage of kidney disease as Jim, but his kidney's were not functioning well.  He had to be on dialysis. 

tsk - We are dreary today.  I hope it clears up.

I wonder how many  nests fall each year!  I am thinking we do not want to know the answer!
Lisa, looks like an egg on the Decorah nest is uncovered and a pair of geese are on the y.  What is going on?
Phyl, I hope Jim will get the help he needs!  Did the Dr. comment on all the physical activity he does?   Nashville gets very hot and humid!

The new cam has been installed, thank you for your patience while we have been offline and while we have been unable to provide night viewing. We have been testing cam operations and will set presets for the cam ops this afternoon. We will, of course must wait till darkness to check out the InfraRed capabilities (visible to the cam but not the wildlife).

Toroa News

EDIT: Next week's weigh day will be on Monday 22nd April rather than the usual Tuesday.

LGK fed Top Flat chick at 1207 hours as the live stream came back online.

Weighing of chicks happened 20 minutes or so after the live stream came back online but Top Flat chick was a bit too nervous after the activity at the cam and had just been fed anyway. Risking losing a fresh meal does not benefit the chick.

Top Flat chick is 84 days old, the average weight for males at this age is 6.5 kg.

Last week's update: Top Flat chick is 77 days old and weighs 5.9 kg at 9.20am. This is just under average for this age and slightly down on last week’s weight. At 9.26am LGL came in and fed her chick. Rangers were well away from the area at this stage having already weighed the heaviest chick at Observation Post which recorded a hefty 7.5 kg.
This week the Observation Post chick was the heaviest chick again at 7.8 kg. A larger basket has been necessary for weighing of these large chicks.

Check the graph here: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nat...

Yes, Lani. What a rare miracle to find that very young eaglet alive...it is in good hands, I know this personally...must just have landed perfectly and somehow protected....

Took a walk with Ollie man and toe survived!..just a little pain on toe-off...otherwise healing well.
Ollie was very happy for me....LOL

Too chilly here for the rest of the week and a little into next week. So glad I got to so much spring pick up of the gardens already.

6 huge lawn care containers full and ready for pick up tomorrow am....first pick up of the season.
Will give me some "room" to continue next week when warms up.

KB      Great Lake Rebecca rescue.  None of that rescue would have happened if someone had not been watching that nest through the years.

LISA  Just finished spreading 10 more bags of mulch in the drizzle  LOLOL  In now and changed clothes and off to the grocery for a few things.

KAREN   I was thinking the same thing about how many times a nest falls and no one knows about it.  At least one baby survived.

LANI  Those close-ups of parents and chicks are so good.  The white is so white  LOL

BAZI  Glad you listen to your body.   Keep moving but just in smaller doses.  ;) ;)

A prayer please for Tim's cousin in Texas, who we found out this AM is currently undergoing brain surgery for a tumor - will do pathology.   Apparently Joe has been having headaches for a while now - passed off as "migraine" until so bad he went to Baylor and almost immediately  scan after scan-went into surgery.  The tumor was bleeding causing the headaches.  We pray that this is benign!!
Will likely get a text later today.

Kb- That is quite a scary story you told of getting stalked years ago.  Thankfully you had Brenda who was so helpful to you on that scary day and on the other occasions you mentioned. 
Grateful for the help that arrived for the nest that had gone down and that they found one eaglet still alive (so sad they all didn't survive), thank you so much for the folks that made this rescue!!   Thank you Kb, for posting picture too.

Og- Thanks for the great links!  One of my favorites is always the Quarantine Kids  :)

Phyl- Re; Jackie & Shadow; thank you for the hug and I'm sending one right back to you.  Hard to know why all 3 eggs did not hatch, I watched everyday just hoping at least one would, but it wasn't meant to be.  They sure didn't give up on their precious eggs for the longest time tho. :(    Okay Phyl, just read that it is a 'Nephrologist.  I wish all the best for Jim.  {{Jim & Phyl}}

some bounce

((( TSK/Tim )))

Ouch. 3.5 hrs. scraping and picking helicopter seeds out driveway expansion joints and then washing. That was after I sharpened the lawnmower blades and swept the garage.
Settling down with a hot lemonade with honey, orange pepper and roasted garlic hummus for lunch.
Camper went to take senior pictures for a young man at his daughter's/ grandson's school. I'm assuming the family could not afford to hire a photographer.... ? He was the only one who had not turned in pics for the yearbook. Nice of Camp to offer his services.

Joe woke( thinking he was at Jersey Mikes  LOL) and can talk and wiggle his toes.  Pathology results in 4 days.  Altho, surgeon says he will likely need chemo and Baylor is trying to set him up with an oncologist/surgeon closer to his home.   This makes me think the doc knows it's cancerous?  Thank you for ongoing prayers.

Had an okay day!  Watched the geese,  watched E23 try to fly away from a flock of pesky birds!  Happens almost every year!  Think they are telling him to leave home!

Hopefully, a family member can visit there with him till his discharge. Keeping him in my prayers for recovery and any future treatment.

Lani, I hope Mike got to the LA plant without too much travel disruption related to flight cancellations and airport delays caused by the storms. Hope he's home soon. Thanks for the pics and reports on the Royal Albies. What a treat to get to see them on cams and learn about their amazing lives. They are such loveable gentle giants.  :) :-*

Baz, glad you're able to enjoy some time walking... Mike arrived in New Orleans Weds and is returning to Arizona in the morning. The first thing he did after he checked into his motel late Weds. he went to LaPlace Wafflehouse. The staff always remember him. They greet him with a "it's so good to see you honey!" Come sit down and we'll get your order in now. They always remember what he likes whether it's morning, noon or night.  ;D .. I hope the weather's okay for travel... thanks.

{{{oh Tsk, prayers for Tim's cousin and for you both.}}} Both your families have a lot on their plate these days.  :-* .. glad to hear Joe has normal speech and mobility after surgery. I googled Jersey Mike. Great menu, he must be hungry!  ;D ... Will keep him in our prayers for continued recovery and future treatments. God Bless.

Tig, there you go, busy as a beaver.  ;D My MIL loved hot lemonade with honey when she didn't feel well.... {{{Camper}}}bless him for his generosity.  :-* Senior year is so important God bless the young man and his family. ... during my elementary years we couldn't afford to buy my school pictures. I had a couple of teachers that must have bought the regular package and gave it to me at the end of the school year. {{{Hugs for you both}}}

Eagles, glad you had an good time with family.  :) .. any rain coming your way? Talons crossed you get some soon and kick the clouds our way. LOL!  ;D ... Mike's coming home tomorrow. I got a lot of spring cleaning done. I didn't work outside like I had planned, too much pollen in the air. The junipers have been spreading their yellow pollen everywhere. The patio furniture, windows, poor Sadie comes in with yellow dust on her fur....  Ugh! Please send rain.  ;D

Karen, glad you like your haircut. I hope your helper was able to get things done for you.

Good night!

a bit of a head start  on the garden...trimming and container cleaning.


     (((TSK/TIM))) prayers for Tim's cousin (((Joe))) his family and you both.
So glad to read that Joe is recovering from his surgery and has normal speech and mobility.
Sending high hopes for Joe's victory in battling this health issue.                   

LANI  Uggggg! Pollen is messy. Poor Sadie; glad for you as Mike will be home tomorrow       

(((TIG))) Camper is very attentive to you :)

EAGLES- so glad you and  your family had a good visit, nothing like 'catching up'

KAREN- glad you 're happy w/ your hair cut.  Years ago I learned to just cut my hair myself than have it cut for me.   Dr Womack (kidney) dis ask Jim
about what sort of work he did at Publix--he told her customer service and elaborated. She did think he was very active.

LISA- pretty AM today

  Prayers for:     Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family; Eaglesrock . All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Reaching 57 today - Ave. is 60    sunny

KAREN    Joe had not been ignoring symptoms per se.  Doctors did not pursue further as headache was not constant and unrelieved at that time.  Since the surgeon will arrange for chemo already I do believe he must know it is cancerous.  We shall see.  Nothing can make you feel great like a good haircut!!!  Maybe you could request that young man again?

BAZI   Baylor is 40 min from where they live in Texas.  They used to live here but after Joe's son graduated from high school,  Joe and wife moved to Texas where her family is. ( about 5 yrs ago or so)  His son stayed here with his mother.  ( Joe's first wife.)  Very hard for Joe to move as he is/was very close to his son.  His sister Kim ( from here) flew down the night before scheduled surgery and will stay with Joe's wife until Joe comes home in 4 days.  I'm sure they will spend their days with him at the hospital.  Kim is very smart and will be another set of ears to hear all the medical jargon and be a support for Joe.

LANI   Nice experience for Mike to feel so welcome at the waffle house.  Home away from home but never like being home which I'm sure he looks forward to today  ;) ;)   Awww sweet good night photo.

BL  Words from the wise GM  ;D

PHYL    We don't hear much about the kestral program.  Thanks for the update.   Beautiful shot from the Audubon osprey boathouse.

BL - I never heard that saying before, about sleeping with a brown cow.

I only know How now, Brown cow....which actually means: Brown cow is a barrel of beer, so pass me another pint...LOL....maybe GM meant drink enough ale and stay healthy?

BRRR...our high today will still be almost 20 degrees below average high and there are flurries in the area.

I'm determined to empty the gas out of my snowblower which I managed to get down the concrete steps and in back of the house on sidewalk where if I mess up not such a problem...LOL
I've not done it before but have old instructions.

Note to self: Somehow? empty garage enough to fit both lawn mower and snowblower with vehicle inside all year.LOL

Good Morning Beakers

Having a few days of more 'normal' weather for April here this weekend.  Yesterday was more damp than wet with temps in the upper 40s - .4 inches of rain total for the day.  Today is partly cloudy with a high of 57 expected.  Next rain expected late Monday, but temps to stay in the 50s.  Decorah is expecting similar weather but a few degrees cooler.

Some updates from Iceland - volcano is still active, but volume has dropped to 3.2 cu. meters/sec.  When the volume drops below 3 cms the volcano is expected to die.  The videos from Iceland Explorer will contain footage from other events, so when you see people near the eruption, it is not the current eruption.

Kani, glad Mike has friends at  the Waffle House!  Good. Breakfasts but if I were in La, that is the last place I would eat!   Lol!
There is an osprey nest on the banks of Wolf .Bay, Orange Beach, Al!   Beautiful serene view.  I have fished in wolf bay.    Checked in the other day and. Found Owls  🦉 have stolen this beautiful nest!
Tsk, I hope Joes condition is treatable and without further complications!   Such issues make my miserable back seem very minor!
Have a great day in Albion and a safe trip tomorrow  back home Clynn!  Need an update on the kitties, Harley and their time with Ed and Kelsey!

An update on the storms from Tuesday...
8 Tornados confirmed in Iowa.  The largest was in Lee and Henry Counties - 600 yards wide - EF2 rated and was on the ground for 56 minutes over a 42 mile path - fortunately, most of it was rural and sparcely occupied land - mostly tree damage with 1 farm house having the roof removed.  Some power lines blown over and an RV blown off the road.  This was about 60 mile south of me.
Here is video coverage by a storm chaser....
HUGE Tornado Strikes Iowa!   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WIUs2eI0CE
Another tornado was to the north of Lori in Buchanan Co. (15 miles to her north) EF1 and was only on the ground for 5 minutes - no reported structural damage.
The others were in NW Iowa and were small with short duration.

Karen, When Mike's in LA he eats pancakes every morning! He's a simple man with simple tastes buds. LOL! Thanks for update on SWFL and Mrs. T., it's especially good to know both of Mrs T's eaglets are being fed, especially the little guy. So far so good.  ;D

Lisa Mike always feels welcomed at LaPlace restaurants. There's a small family pub/cafe he goes to for dinner. It's like a Cheer's pub, he walks in and everyone says Hi! Great to see him! He always orders their Chicken Picata. He won't let me make it for him... He has friends in that cafe that have invited him to their homes for dinner if he's there for the weekend. Taken him to an LSU football game/tailgate, and even taken him gator hunting in the bayou. Louisianians are very friendly as is Mike. Mike's not a chatter, or one who seeks attention, but he enjoys people, he's a good listener. Great people in Louisiana very generous in spirit and culture.

Oldguy, thanks for Iceland update. The volcano vent is huge now, and to be able to see the community just a few miles away is a scary situation... Love Axel's story. Thanks for weather update. I'll check out video now.

Kb Cats with job  ;D

Tsk praying it's not cancerous.  :-*

Phyl, good news from RRP about new Kestrel cam! ... nice nature vid.... beautiful sunrise at Fly away! Thanks for around the world cam pics. Love the osprey! ;D

Wonderful people he has met and enjoys being with.   So I'm hearing "MI I I KE" in stead of  " NO O O RM"   ;) ;) ;)  when he walks into the pub/cafe. ;D ;)

Off to Oak Park killing 3 birds with 1 stone.  See pics of my niece's family trip to Portugal over spring break,  celebrate 11 yr old great niece b-day ( no family party this year) with a surprise dessert and presents, and see "Broadway bound" great niece in her school choral concert!

Joe may go home tomorrow - Has a massive headache that will get worse before better due to swelling.  His sister sent a photo  Ughhh

Got accomplished , what I wanted this AM.  ;)


BL- never heard of that 'Brown Cow' saying  about sleeping w/ a cow before. I'd heard the 'How now...' version and it's true meaning

TSK-I know your comment about Cousin Joe was to Karen. But, thanks for the add'l info. and your thoughts.  Glad Joe might be going home tomorrow. Prayers continue for Joe/his family and The Great Physician's healing.  I'm not gonna think about the 'C" word right now. 

LISA- pretty AM greeting today-equally pretty cup/saucer,  sorta kinda reminds me of my Grandma Olivine's Blue Willow set I have packed away.

OG-   that is a lot of tornados for that area!   Yesterday FNC had a segment on the Icelandic Grindavik volcano with Northern Lights directly above; enjoyed the Cole/Marmalade meows...some kittys 'roll' their M's. Like Maggie does. So cute when they do that.

 LANI  your AM greeting today is a hoot. Love the reaction 'let 'er rip laugh'  of the dog and woman.  Mike should be home now?...and hope he's safe and a successful business trip too. Pleasant surprise  welcome at the LaPlace restaurant.  Regular patrons  get the warmest greetings.  ;)

KAREN- glad to read Mrs. T is feeding both hatchlings

Well...think I'm caught up for the day here.  :-\

Lani-  The LaPlace Wafflehouse is so good to Mike!! Nice that they Know him and give him extra special service in their restaurant! :)  No rain for a while - we had quite a bit, so these warmer days are most appreciated!   We did have some terrible pollen and now it looks like it might be easing up.  There were a few times when I went out into our back yard and watered our yard to get the pollen to go down into the lawn!     Very special folks in Louisiana!! :)

Phyl-  I too posted hugs for you & Jim yesterday! :-*   I am always keeping you, Jim & Maggie in my thoughts & prayers. {{Jim, Phyl, Maggie}}

Tsk-  Good that Kim will be there with Joe as an extra set of ears.  That really is most helpful in remembering all that is said by the doctor and medical staff.  Thoughts & prayers continue for Joe and wishing him all the very best.       Enjoy your day today - sure sounds like a lot of fun!

Og- Bet your store is going to get very busy soon - especially with Mother's Day around the corner! :)

Morning everyone. 

I'm not at WF anymore but had noticed an owl on the nest platform earlier this week.  Then, Thursday an Osprey was there.. Yesterday an egg!  Here are links to images, I've forgotten how to actually get image in to a post.

tsk - Adorable kitty pic this am

I woke up this morning to wonder what that white line was on my deck funiture...stepped outside to get a better view and just now was pummeled once again with graupel.
The graupel on my chair must have accumulated overnight.

This is a thorough and easy read to what it is. Got some on and off yesterday as well.

I'm still surprised when I find long term residents of MN not even knowing what it is, so herehttps://www.nakedcapitalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/00-big-turkey-624x832.jpg goes:

I don't believe I ever heard that you were part of our extended IL group, karen.  I  was west side of the city, Midway Airport neighborhood.  Live way west of city now 50 years, DuPage county, Darien.

Ever in the area any more?  Maybe the 3 of us could have lunch?  Maybe anyone else around?

Eaglet Growth and Development: Week Four

https://www.raptorresource.org/2024/04/19/eaglet-growth-and-development-week-four-3/
 (https://www.raptorresource.org/2024/04/19/eaglet-growth-and-development-week-four-3/)
We’re writing a series of blogs about the first few weeks of an eaglet’s life. An eaglet spends roughly 75 to 80 days in the nest. For about the first half, it grows and gains weight. For about the second half, it grows flight feathers and starts developing the skills it will need post-fledge. We will focus on week four in this blog.

Good Morning Beakers....Happy Sunday!
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/03/01/32/030132d7e6b05e027f00b1f05f0b9ece.jpg)

Thank you all for the birthday wishes for Jeff's dad.  His actual birthday is not till the 27th, but Jeff's stepsister works next weekend, so she wanted to do something this weekend for his dad.

tsk - I hope to feel as young at that age too!  Pop still works (delivers cars for a dealership) when needed, he cuts his own grass, mulches, and does whatever handy work needs to be done around the house.  He hates sitting down, as he says, it makes his hip hurt, so he is constantly moving. Hope Joe got home and all settled, prayers!

karen - LOL, the old agers club.

Lani - We had a great day, and the food was good.  We had ribeye steaks, potato salad (made by me), macaroni salad, pasta salad (SIL made), and cake. All of Pop's favorites.

T40 - Pretty kitties for Caturday.  :D

E4E - Thanks!  :)

oldguy - Your card game meal sounds delicious, but tell me what muskmelon is, please?  I have never heard of it.  BTW, Jeff has a Taco Cat shirt  ;D

tig - Hope you enjoyed that deep dish pizza! 

Phyl - Thanks!  :)  Pretty morning pic, thanks for the links.

kb, Puff, clynn and all - Morning  :D

some bounce

KB - great pic. Yes, we are, most of us, getting soft. Frustrating. Will attempt to mow today.

The garlic bread app was yummy. The deep dish was a disappointment. NOT a true Chicago style. It was presented in a deep pan but was half filled with bread and a light amount of topping. Mine was pork belly. I located a few thin pieces. I ate the top off mine and then enjoyed a salted caramel gelato. I'll need to do better research and follow up by phone to find a true deep dish.

Hugs all. Keep looking UP

Good Morning Beakers

only 1 out 3 last night - but mostly close games...  The meal was great, with only a few left overs...

Lisa - another name for muskmelon is cantaloupe.
Muskmelon: What Is It and How Is It Different from Cantaloupe?   -   https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/muskmelon-vs-cantaloupe

While cantaloupe varieties are muskmelons, not all muskmelons are cantaloupes. The name muskmelon comes from the sweet fragrance of the ripe fruit. The term musk comes from a Persian word for perfume, and melon is a French word derived from the Latin melopepo, which means 'apple-shaped melon'.

There is a city to my SE on the Mississippi River called Muscatine.  There is a large area of bottom land to the south of the city that is farmed for mostly melons - the farmers started to sell their melons as 'Muskmelons' in the 60's instead of cantaloupe to distinguish them from melons grown elsewhere, tying the name to Muscatine.

tsk - our stone arch bridge once was a railroad bridge but now only a pedestrian and bicycle bridge.


There are 20 drive-able bridges over the Mississippi River just between Minneapolis and St. Paul alone.

However, pedestrians and bicyclists will be put out for sure for 2 years as they had that one to themselves.

Envy you the celebration of your Dad's birthday.  The whole family has a treasure to enjoy - that's wonderful.

I've been doing a lot of memories of Dad this last week or so.  Lost him in 1983 at age 65, 41+ years now.  Doing my veggie garden this year reminds me that his fence for the garden no longer is.  He hand made a cedar red/black/gold oriental 3 foot high fence.  Large Chinese sanskrit symbol for abundance.  Weather and wood are not an eternal match.  Last year I took down memories/fence for the last time.  I miss my fence each time I go to work the yard.  :'( x  thousands.

I guess, (I know) I'm in a reflective, melancholy spirit this morning. . .

Happy Sunday!   Cloudy and a trace of rain today bring cooler temls for a few days and hopefully lower humidity!  Even had one thunder clap, off in the distance!
Thanks for the news on precious e23!  Love to see the eagles in the pond and bathing!  WhenM 15 first showed up, Harriet chased hem there and got him in to bathe!  Rip, dear lady, where ever you are!

I read that all cantaloups sold in the US, commercially produced are Muskmelons!   The only true. Cantaloup, albeit a very close relative are grown in Europe!   Not as tasty!  This article also referred to other melons as muskmelons!  I truly prefer honeydews ,  watermelon and casaba to cantaloup as Old Guy reported .  Whatever they are called, your dinner sounded delicious!
Old guy, if Muscatine was muscadine they could become a grape growing capital!

Phyl, loved the moaning picture with the vibrant greensand the bright yellow daffodils.

Tsk, I couldn't find when clynn said she'll be back, but it's usually a week or 10 days later. I see Karen wrote she's traveling home today.

Kb, gorgeous pic, it would make a great puzzle.

Lisa, Sounds like a lovely day and delicious food for Jeff's pop's birthday gathering. It's moments like this that we miss my MIL and family.... God Bless  :-*

Tig, if you drive about 200 miles to the Wisconsin Dells there is a Piazzria Unos!  That is the place that originated the original deep dish stye Chicago pizza!    My office , in Chicago looked down on that original Unos!   While a great tasting  dish, the older version of Chicago pizza was   Very thin crust, my favorite.   Goid luck finding something!

Good luck  Clynn on todays drive!    The  kitties, Ed and Kelsey will be happy to see you!

Karen, HI!!  :D  I have floated down the river through the Wisconsin Dells in a small boat with a tour guide. It was lots of fun! I never knew about the Wisconsin Dells till I was driving, on my way to and through Chicago on my way to Minneapolis - back in the middle 70s - and I saw all the highway billboards for "See the Wisconsin Dells!," LOL, so, I did!!!  It always pays to pad your long-distance driving trips with some extra time for surprise, unplanned detours!!  ;D

((TSK)), it sounds like you had a wonderful family visit - birthday and performance for your "greats" and getting the family Portugal vacay trip story and pics! Prayers continue for Tim's cousin, Joe, and family. Glad to hear he is headed home.

Oldguy, who cares about who won at cards... LOL!  ;) ;) ;D  Not when you had all that yummy roast and sides and dessert to feast on!! Leftovers? Yay! I want some!!  :D  Yay for you for having the weekend to R-U-N-N-O-F-T!!!  ;D

TIG   A very unusual piece of litter in your front yard  :o

NR   How nice for you to be able to work remote - esp on those dark dreary winter mornings.  Hope you can stay in touch with some of your work friends.

PHYL     How come you don't see many watermelon in the summer?   Origins of Earth Day go way back I see.  Thanks for all the nest updates  :)

I had a nice week at Mom's! The weather was warm until a storm blew through Thursday night and it turned chilly, but still sunny and nice. I visited my Aunt Linda and Aunt June, took Mom to Evansville for a heart test, another day in Evansville shopping on Friday and finished several little chores she needed done around the house. I got boxes of papers down for her to go through - she has all of their tax returns back to when they got married in 1951!! Cathy and Steve plan on being there for Mother's Day. Becky and Jennifer were there for a couple of weeks in February. Kelsay and I will go for a week in July like we always do. I don't know yet if anything is in the works for her 90th birthday in November.

Phyl, a different 365, and the bullfrog at the end! 74 and windy here today!  The North kids are looking so good! And another goose couple in Decorah!  Falcons brooding eggs everywhere! This picture is from 3/30, they should be hatching around Mother's day!

Lani, another so sweet goodnight picture... Ed said the cats were good all week, so I think we are all okay. Harley only gets a bit torked when Sophie tries to jump on him to play! She is the busy  one, always into something! This morning I saw that Harley had managed to get the container of kitten chow opened and had a feast! The feeding is what I have to figure out now! He certainly doesn't need kitten food, the vet said he could stand to lose a little weight...ha!

tsk, I love cantaloupe too, but it's a crap shoot on whether you get a good one or not. Just like watermelon!

Gotta go help Kelsey, BBL!

Enjoy the salon, Lisa!
56 degrees this morning with a high reaching only 71 today!   I can enjoy cooler. Temps for about two days before it goes back to tropical temps!
My little Satsuma tree that lost one third of itself. During Idalia hurricane last year is looking great now and is full of white fragrant blossoms!  Should have some delicious fruit this fall!   Wish I could share them with you!
There are 3 or 4 baby house finch heads peeking over the nest edge!  Hard to see up there and they will be gone soon!   Am late getting a feeder
out for the hummers!

Watermelon!   Aaah!   Summer is the beat time to buy them and they should be abundant in Nashville!  My  mother spent her childhood summers on  a family farm  south of Nashville , in Franklin where she would steal put of bed to get a baby pig to sleep with  and during the day run  around the farm with her sisters, breaking a watermelon off the vine and letting it roll down hill, breaking apart in the creek!  They would wait for it to get cool and then eat it!   My mother said there was nothing  better!   Close to 100  years ago!

This house exploded around 8am this morning. That's Dennis and Vi's house next door, the blue one. They were gone. My house is 3 houses south of the blue house.

House is still smoldering/burning right now...presumed a gas explosion. the people in that house just moved in a few months ago. Only Grandma was home and she walked out of the house being evaluated but not burned.

At the time it exploded, my two front doors, both dead locked moved into the house at least 1/2 inch..and the loudest noise I've ever heard
I ran outside to look and at the same time my neighbor also was out. We walked up and their out side gas meter was also burning.

My neighbor and I saw something fly in the air towards the back of our homes.

An hour later a shed in the back yard caught fire with trees....as 3 or more fire departments were already on scene they ran to extinguish that one but a Sheriff told us to immediately leave the house with Ollie. We did and maybe 1/2 hour later we could go back inside, no power, gas, anything.
Electricity just now came back on.

The news channels and helicopters are now over head....

On standby till this thing gets completely checked out.

I heard they will be inspecting all of our houses.

Later

{{{Kb, Ollie, Chris}}} oh my gosh!! So glad you are okay, as well as your home...  :o So Dennis and Vi are okay? So was there someone in that burning house? Who is grandma and what house was she in? Good they will be inspecting all homes. Something must be up with the gas line. How frightening!!! Sending hugs and prayers.

Karen, that's good news about your Satsuma tree. Lots of good spring news at your home! Good luck baby finches. I haven't seen any baby finches at the feeder yet. Sweet stories of your mother.  ;D

Lisa, Enjoy your spa day!  ;D

{{{Clynn}}} Welcome Home! Happy to hear all is well with your mom. And all went well with Ed, Kelsey and furry family too! ... all looks well at Norwich Cathedral... I wish it was the same with our Hellgate and Dunrovin Ospreys.... Dunrovin Swoop's gals have left him, he's alone on the nest. Hopefully, some pretty gal will show up soon.... Iris and Louis continue to mate, the handsome single osprey wants to be with her. But, Louis is determined to have both nests. He did bring her a fish yesterday instead of stealing her food. But, he spends more time with his other mate.  :-\ I can't watch anymore, I just check in and make sure she's okay. Have a good day getting caught up at home.  :)

Lani - Dennis and Vi are okay. I requested a gas guy to go in their house with them as they were anxious to get back in. I left them with that guy and haven't spoken with them since.

Luckily their house was not vinyl or aluminum....cause the flames were licking their house.

Yes the new owner's of that houses Grandma was in the bathroom at the time but walked out somehow.
She's in the hospital being evaluated. all the rest maybe 6 or more were at work.
They came home after it happened.

House is still smoldering and a huge backhoe is now placed in front of the house. Am guessing they will dig the house and gas lines soon.

A blast waves is ferocious...I thought a car hit my house and as I said both dead bolt locked doors move inward towards me but didn't break.

Read two interesting articles yesterday and today but I am too computer challenged to post links!  However a google check will probably find them.  The first was  about the sloths!  Said they do not fart normally, but only through their mouth!  👄   Can have problems if eating too many leaves..   the second one is about scientists and the San Diego zoo working together to bring the black footed ferret back from almost complete  extinction.  They used cells that  have been frozen for  30 years!

On the property line of my neighbor. with her other neighbor. Trees lit up though. The most beautiful maple.
They then ordered everyone on my block out of their homes..
Had Richfield, Bloomington, Edina, and the Airport Fire all here.

Still smoldering.

https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/woman-hospitalized-after-reported-explosion-in-richfield/

Course they always get some details totally wrong...no power line fell, it was explosion embers.

The house directly behind the burned shed is my son's best friend, Colins' home.
He came home from work to observe.
Luckily nothing in his home/yard was damaged.....we all feel darn lucky

The wind has recently picked up and is ferocious...so, in a way, if it had to happen good thing it happened when the wind was low.

They are still up there with the back hoe...the house is now totally gone.

Dennis and Vi's home will be repainted on the side, there house as of 1pm today will be de-smoked and totally cleaned.
They want them to leave for the night but they don't want to as Dennis has a nurse appt early tomorrow am.
We shall see.

It is true a Sheriff deputy was across the street from me serving a warrant and/or eviction order when the blast occurred. I saw him and her...they apparently got Grandma out of the house immediately after it exploded. They tore out of that parking lot immediately. Confirmed below:

LISA   I could eat a nice chilled cantaloupe in one sitting  LOLOL   You bet .  Pizza at Giordano's  ;D

BAZI   Of course being from Wisconsin it was a family long weekend for us kids often at the Dells.  We had to do the Duck boat rides - an amphibious vehicle that would pretend to be stuck on a small island in the river.   In my childhood years I truly wondered if it was real   LOLOL     Never heard  " R U N N O F T" before  :o

OLDGUY    LOLOLOL

Tsk, I bet that was great fun as kids riding the big Duck boats and playing at the island! That "r-u-n-n-o-f-t" is dialog from 2 different scenes from my fav movie - "O Brother, Where Art Thou." My sister and I loved that movie and all the funny things in the dialog, and she and I now often use "o-f-t" in our texts, as a throwback adopted silly use of that from that movie. Ha ha!!  ;) :D

Good Lord Almighty, KB!!! Glad everyone is okay - and hope that family's Grandma will be, too. I imagine she suffered injury from the blast - concussive, and maybe hearing issues, as well. Hope she recovers okay. So glad no one else hurt and others' property's are mostly unscathed, or at least as far as you know, except for some smoke and smaller burned areas. Glad your windows didn't break! Hard to believe Vi's windows didn't break, being next door! Take care.


Have a good day, Beakers! Stay safe, All!  :)

KAREN   I noted that my first hummer last year was May 7th.  I get my feeder out by the first.  Love the story about Mom and the watermelon - life was so much simpler then!

KB   Oh my gosh!!!!  What a way to greet the day.  So glad Grandma walked out unscathed.  Were Dennis and Vi home?   Feel so bad for the new home owners...lawsuit?   Great that all that attn. will be given to Vi's home.

tsk, yes, Mom's test was good! The checked her heart valve(s)?. There was some blockage but not enough to need any surgery. Especially not for someone almost 90! The ride was okay, I tried an eye cover but for some reason it just didn't work. Next I am going to try taping my eyelashes down to keep my eye shut! Glad to hear Tom and Barb made it home safely. 69 and windy here!

kb, what a scary happening! Same thing happened in Des Moines a couple of years ago. I don't remember ever hearing exactly what caused the gas to explode, but that house was also totally demolished. It's a good thing that you have to have insurance when you buy a house!

baz, funny that you and sis use the words from that movie for fun purposes! My sister Cathy remembers all the phrases from movies, she often spouts off something from a Monty Python movie like:  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=monty+pythion+biggus+dickus&&mid=F08C1D1CAD115C4F2832F08C1D1CAD115C4F2832&&FORM=VRDGAR
Not everyone appreciates Monty Python, but we sure do! LOLOL!

karen, here is your sloth video:  https://www.grunge.com/1318228/why-sloths-dont-fart/    And here is the one about the San Diego Zoo and the Black-footed Ferret:   https://science.sandiegozoo.org/species/black-footed-ferret

Lani, love that blooming cactus!  Oh no, I was so hoping Louis would leave Iris along this year... I hope another female finds Swoop, he is a good osprey Dad! Oh, all is good with the 3 cats now!  I just need to solve the food situation, for now I am feeding them separately.

nr posted on FB, FINALLY ospreys have returned to the Wells Fargo nest!! One egg so far! Both adults are on the nest right now, one is brooding. And today a second egg!

CLYNN   Now I've got to find Monty Python movies and watch again.  ;) ;)  They were so funny.   NR had posted that here about WF and the osprey nest.  I remember when you worked there how you would post that.  Good to see they are back.

LISA   Tim came in from bringing the garbage cans back in the garage and said " It's like a hurricane out there!"

Clynn - they didn't purchase insurance for the house yet....they paid cash for the house...7 of them that is.

Total loss so while Dennis and Vi have been here while they restore the inside of their house we said:

the city will probably try to build an apartment complex on that lot...LOL

an inside joke.

Phyl- Awe, Age 67 was too young for your Dad and Puff's to pass.  Hugs for you both. {{}}      So happy that your sweet little Maggie keeps hangin' in there!! ;D :-*      Thanks for links and all the nest cam pics!    Love DNN! :)

Lani- I know you walk with Sadie early every morning.  Hoping you are starting to get a little bit warmer mornings, or maybe it is still too soon.(?)  Either way, good for you in how you faithfully walk with your sweet Sadie! :)   

Clynn- Welcome home Clynn!! ;D  I bet you quite a welcome from all in your household!! ;D   Sounds like everyone had a great time!!

Karen- I sure wish I could enjoy some of your Satsuma fruit later on when it starts ripening on your tree!!  You are so lucky! :)     Wonderful to hear that the San Diego Zoo & Scientists are working together.

LisaG - 'Salon' day!!! I'm sure it was a fun and relaxing time for you!!   I have noticed those high winds in Decorah too  ??? ::)

Kb- Such a terrible and scary situation for you and the neighborhood this morning.  Thank goodness the grandmother made it out of the house safely.  So glad you were safe. I can only imagine how scary it must have been to hear such an explosion. :o ::)

Tig- Sounds good to have gone to the pool, but wish it were a lil bit warmer!

Puff- You had 67 in your area today, and we had only 62!

Baz- Like your 'oft' story! ;D

Tsk- Bet it was great to see Barb & Tom again!  So nice you picked them up from the Airport and probably chatted all the way home! :)

Lori, Og, Bl, Nr  :)

Beakers have a good night.

TSK- pretty cherry blossoms this AM; I have no idea why watermelon isn't stocked to much extent. Summertime staple when I was a child. Odd how
salting makes it sweet.

CLYNN- nice to see your posts, seems like 'forever' since they've greeted us. So glad to read all's well with your Mom and on your safe return to find Ed,
Kelsey and the fur babies doing well. Many thanks for Norwich Cathedral Hawk and Owl Trust snap. Looks good there.

LISA- Your AM  picture reminds me---I've had  a slice of Mom's homemade fruit pie for dessert for breakfast many times as a teenager---no I wasn't fat---bone thin.
Worried my Dad to no end...but  Doc said I was getting al the food groups and it was homemade so don't fret. Go figure...wouldn't fly these days though.

LANI-lovely cacti blossoms today about prettiest cactus photo I''ve seen in ages. I'd love to have a chat with Iris about Louis and Louis about Iris.
Glad to see the WG nest is brooding and a second egg. Tks for snaps.

TSK/KAREN- I had marked my calendar for March on hummers. Time got away from me, I thought I was late so... only just three  days ago got the clear nectar feeder  out and hung some  red petunias on the feeder pole next to that. I hope we have some this yea. Last season only had two---did some investigating to fine
a neighbor  two streets up and feeders out and is my 'competition'  ::)

KAREN- never heard of the Satsuma tree so Googled and it's an Owari Mandarin orange tree. Quite decorative when potted and only one is
needed for fruit production. Love mandarin oranges and if I were a neighbor would be asking to buy some.

HI EAGLES- thanks for you thoughtful comment about Dad.  In just  5 months, would out live him by a year.  "Odd' sort of feeling that is as like Dad, I'm the
youngest in my family. Lovely snap of Pacific Grove, Ca beach--water so clear.

OG- tks for music links will listen later tonight; Claire has some really decorative 'fashion accessory' harnesses for the kitties.   ;)
Walter's D'Artagnan made a great recovery  :)   Minion- LOL and true.

 -Mercy! That house explosion!!  So very close to you. How scary for the neighborhood.
 Hopefully upon inspection no  damages, beyond the smoke. Thankfully the grandmother was taken out of the house before it exploded

Clynn, Karen, thanks for sloth article. Something I did not know.... Also very interesting about the Black footed ferret.... great pics of WF ospreys. We liked Monty Python movies too.

Tsk, Welcome home to Barb and Tom. Prayers for your family.

Eagles, beautiful beach. Morning are getting warmer, but I do love winter.... Hi to Kris!  ;D

Oldguy, D'art is one of my favorite Walter Santi cats. He has such an "old soul-like face...  So glad he's better, what a brave boy he is.  :-*. Glad the General is doing well.

Good Morning Everyone.

Currently: 44F clear with a   High  76F sunny,  Low 44F


Yesterday, finished Jim' s weeding. Since Jim forgot to charge the hedge trimmer---I use the long
handle pruners on the rose bushes in the back. Suffice to say---all those push-ups I've been
doing really paid off.  ;D                                   

PUFF- visited San Diego Zoo in my twenties--it's one of the best.

All abandoned, abused  cats and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

Phyl, love the Chorus at Dawn 365! Someone did a great job on the felted eagle! Now don't you overdo on the yard work! Love the moon and stars you posted last night, wonder if it is for sale somewhere... I'll search! Glad to hear you are out living your Dad's time on this earth...I have thought I should at least live 17 more years, every year. Mom will be 90 in November and was 17 when I was born. But one never knows...

Lani, love the wrinkled puppies sleeping... Hope you are all doing well in your beautiful forest home!

E4E, yes, had a good time at Mom's, she is doing well! The weather was nice and warm (86 one day), then a storm blew through during the night and it was chilly! The heat even came on! Warmer days are coming, I am sure of it!

tsk, I had my favorite Monty Python movies on DVD, which I finally donated to Goodwill. I am going to look and see if they are on youtube!  The Life of Brian, The Search for the Holy Grail and The Meaning of Life!

Lisa, don't you love walking out of the salon after a trim? Always feels good!

Benny Bruhling - Flying High, With Decorah Eagles:
Good afternoon my fine feathered friends. Today once again I have Mom Decorah photo's, Mom and Dad Decorah made the live cam famous, so that's why we do our best to keep this show alive. Even though Dad is gone Mom is still here with here new mate DM2, who has proven himself to be a good dad. These photos are taken at N4 behind Walmart, Decorah Eagles  - Sue Bruhling and I can't get enough of this pair, we will keep following them as long as we are able to do so. With the help of our good friends Cindy Bellrichard & Larry Bellrichard this show will continue. Today I have photos of Mom & DM2 taking good care of their youngsters. Although it may be hard to see Mom in these photo's because the nest bowl is so deep, you can see her head if you look closely. As always I want my friends to be safe and enjoy life to its fullest. My annoying song choice for this post LOL is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ttdNTXX7r82.xx&oh=00_AfDjemghWDeFu4dUO7LHRruVB2GsHConyR6F5dmkjpQbuQ&oe=662D72D8

Lisa - Yes, Dennis and Vi's home is okay...they will paint the house and fix their side yard etc. but in general they are lucky.

I took Ollie for a walk past the house today...insulation was on the street and boulevards for 2 blocks east of the explosion and it still smelt like fire...burnt stuff I guess that smell may linger for awhile.

Clynn, LOLOL on that Monty Python scene! Sooo hilarious! I love Monty Python!!  :D :D :D Well, pooh on the patch not working well for your drive. I wonder if you can put the right amount of gauze between the patch and your closed eyelid to keep your eye closed without putting too much pressure on it and without having to use tape. I'm sure our brains must try to work some of those circuits when the eyelid is open, even when behind a patch, causing "interference" in the vision... or something like that. Hope you find the solution that works just right!

Lani- I am ready for warmth, and although the first part of the day was at 59 deg., it is 64 now and very nice.

Karen- I'd like to get over to the San Diego Zoo sometime - never been yet!

Clynn- That is so wonderful that your Mom is doing so well & fine! :)    Thanks so much for posting Benny Bruhling!  I love seeing and hearing about our beautiful and dedicated Mom Decorah!!

Tsk- I know you were talking to Phyl about your Dad's Father's age, but just for the sake of mentioning, my Dad's Father lived to 60 yrs.  That is such a young age now!    One of my hubby's brothers lives just up the street from that Beach area in P.G. - very close walking distance.

Tig- Enjoy BBall tonight on Tv!   I will go back and look at the Baltimore vid!  Thank you!

LisaG- CA has lots of places to go and see!! 8)

Kb- Very lucky that Dennis & Vi's home was not more damaged from that terrible explosion next door.  Nice that you & Ollie enjoyed your walk this morning. :)

Baz- Like your 'happy day' - beautiful flowers!

Spent part of the day with my mom & sis; I drove us to see my Aunt in a nearby town as it is my Aunt's birthday today.  She got some nice gifts! A couple of my cousins were there too.  She is the one who is in an assisted living home right now.

evidentially there are several versions. Many t hanks for posting/sharing Benny Bruhling 's Decorah Eagles update w/ great photo

TSK- you're in the pink this  AM---as you said purples and pinks today; tks to you/CLynn for  y our comments of encouragement on Dad's
passing

TIG-tks for the video on  'tug war horses' Baltimore Bridge aftermath. It was interesting; I Googled 'The Long Game' and I think this is one
Jim and I would find most interesting as you and Camper. Thanks ---another we'll add to our list of "Must Watch"

LISA- April's all but gone. And, we're still drinking hot cocoa---I was just commenting to Jim that we've not had any in a while and needed some  ;)

HI T40 - easy to agree by all us that 'birdwatch' and do 'birding' like Jim and I with our bluebirds---the Bruhlings are invaluable .

HEY EAGLES- how did your grandson's game end?  YOu know if I lived near that beach I'd be walking it's shores--

BL- I've heard Les Paul---tks for the Dickey Betts at  Iridium Jazz Club--  ;)


Lots of questions raised about that house that exploded. My understanding that a house sale can't close unless there's hazard insurance   AKA homeowner's
insurance , provided by new owners --- required to satisfy the lienholder

Hi Puff, Karen, Lisa, T40

Phyl, sweet dawn chorus on nature video... beautiful felted eagle... Hot cocoa and Jim is a nice ending to the day.

Clynn, I hope you can find a solution to wearing a patch while driving....  wonderful photo of Decorah mom, DM2 and their babies! That is great news! I think it's been a couple of years since they've had eaglets! What a blessing!  ;D :-*

Tig, very  ;D video on the vessels working in the Baltimore Harbor around the bridge collapse.

Eagles, good luck to your grandson and baseball team! I miss my sister and being able to watch her grandchildren's activities. My nieces and nephews. It's nice to have family nearby as you do.

Kb, cute smart dog... glad Dennis and Vi will be okay.

Tsk, We'll check out that NatGeo doc. Thanks for suggestion.

BL, thanks for the music  8)

Good night!

kb everybody ok there and their habitats?

I know the 1 on the corner not so good.

House next to you goes gas leak BOOM leveled .. very close .. minor damage right next door minimal ?

BLESSED.

Gas House Explosion 2 doors down once imploded most of our windows glass as we were taking tea and crumpets.   ;)
Pip and I's scars. 

I'm amazed and so happy that your neighbors house so close went relatively unscathed.

See above music.

thanks for the addition of music!

All quiet now on the midwestern front.

I did want to ask you though. It may be common sense but watching that house burn for over 2 hours with multiple fire agencies attacking it was something I won't forget.

I assume a gas fueled fire burns differently than a wooden only fire?

When I first got there, less than 5 minutes after the huge "boom" the gas meter outside the home was on fire as well as that side of the house...The large window was gone in front as well as what looked like huge structural movement of the building. The main explosion from what I see came from the basement. We don't know yet, investigation ongoing, but I therefore assume the furnace or water heater was the culprit.

Hard to believe how long they took to just keep it from spreading to other homes and watch each side of the house collapse.

Was something to behold and I won't ever forget it...and then 30 minutes or more after the house being attacked by firemen the shed started in our block's back yard..I saw what looked like either a secondary explosion (5 minutes after original) or from the original throwing something hot in the back yards but didn't flame up at first.
That's when we were all told to leave our homes immediately. I had enough time to put on my shoes and collar Ollie man and she said I could not back out my car and put Ollie in it. Had to stand across the street till they got that one out. The sheriffs went house by house with their order.

Shed was only wood but did have a lawn mower inside but I think it's battery powered only. But, that fire was put out in relation to the house much quicker.

Health related:

I had my 6 month skin cancer appointment scheduled from 6 months ago at the time we were ordered out of our homes.

When I called to re-schedule and spoke with a young woman, I really was disappointed they can't accomodate that kind of emergency and wouldn't fit me in till late June!

Surely our health care system can do much much better. They better not try to charge me for a missed appointment. I explained it all and heard no concern/compassion out of that young woman at all.

Announcing – The Philippine Eagle Cam!
April 23, 2024  RaptorResource

https://www.raptorresource.org/2024/04/23/announcing-the-philippine-eagle-cam/ (https://www.raptorresource.org/2024/04/23/announcing-the-philippine-eagle-cam/)

We are thrilled to announce that the Philippine Eagle cam is online here: https://www.philippineeaglefoundation.org/transfer-breeding-eagles-now and here: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/philippine-eagle-cam/ and here! https://explore.org/livecams/raptor-resource-project/philippine-eagles

The Raptor Resource Project has partnered with the Philippine Eagle Foundation and Explore.org to bring bird lovers a live 24×7 stream of Ariela and MVP, a mated pair of Philippine Eagles who live at the National Bird Breeding Sanctuary (NBBS) in Barangay Eden, in the Philippines. The Philippine Eagle is one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world. Unfortunately, it is also among the world’s most critically endangered species, with just 90-250 pairs of eagles remaining in the wild. Ariel and MVP’s home is off-limits to tourists, but we invite everyone to visit them online and help collect observations about their behavior, including courtship, copulation, and – talons crossed! – egg and offspring care.

tsk, I saw the previews of the Nat Geo program on the octopus and it looked very intriguing! Nature sometimes makes one wonder what kind of a mood God was in when he created some of the strange creatures on this earth! Ed is on week 3 of STD due to an impingement in his neck (the bicycle crash about 25 years ago). He did something that really aggravated it and has been in pain! His new doctor has prescribed P/T along with some pain meds, muscle relaxers, hot patches, etc. I suggested P/T years ago but his doctor then told him it wouldn't help, so nada. I think I will be proven right. We are seeing the same here, doctor appointments are being scheduled way farther out than they used to be! Called in Sept, got a Dec appointment. That was re-scheduled by the doctor to February.

E4E, what a beautiful beach, I love it... This is the beach at Oceanside, OR where Becky and Jennifer have a vacation home:

I overslept this a.m. I'll do some exercises here and some yard werk.

We had been scheduled to go up north for a couple days this week (a delayed bday treat). I called to cancel last week after getting my heart monitor and realizing there would be no cell phone coverage during the drive up/back. The resort owner was sympathetic (and we rescheduled for the Fall) but said there won't be much he could do if our reserved time doesn't rent. He explained... there was a couple who kept cancelling... their "grandma" died 4 times over a couple years! LOL. I understand his POV but we may be taking a hit $$.

KB - I wondered about the insurance too; and the cash payment for the home. An interesting back story, I'm sure.

Our Timberwolves pulled off a great win last night (sorry Mike/Lani), and our Twins had a win in the bottom of the 9th!

Great news on the new eagle cam!!!

I got a text from the guy at the resort. He was able to rent Friday night. Then, he asked the folks that were staying in "our" cabin Sun - Wed if they would include Thur. nite at a discount. They agreed. So we will end up paying a bit for Thur. plus tax plus 3.5% credit card fee. Grr. I would have paid by check, had we gone.
Anyway... it was nice of him to try extra to fill it for us. I sent him a reply saying so and that I think this may have happened for a reason. Just don't know what it is. Yet.

How nice a day to take Mom to Sis's b-day.  Some catching up with family too.   Enjoy the ball game  ;D

Don't know if anyone had a chance to see on NatGeo the 3 part episode  " Secrets of the Octopus"  What a mind blowing show.  How they photograph some of this stuff is amazing.

TSK, I watched that 3-episode series on "Secrets of the Octopus" on Nat Geo a couple of nights ago. It was DA BOMB!!!  The octopus is one of my all-time favorite marine animals!! They are sooo smart! I have been learning about them over the years, and they command my total respect!! I'm so glad I caught that special series on them - it was fabulous, and I learned a lot more about them!! I noticed that 3-episode series will also be airing on Hulu and somewhere else, I'm trying to remember - perhaps Netflix, but maybe it was some other streaming service. Anyway, it was really incredible. I highly recommend it to any interested people who missed it - it would be worth finding a place to view it - even if online. I watched part of it twice!

Royal Albatross news!

Top Flat chick is 90 days old and weighs 7.4 kg. He was fed by LGL at 1042. The average weight for a male of this age is 7.32 kg. He was not weighed last week due to nervousness following the cam swap and had just been fed by LGK.

Top Flat Track chick is 82 days old and weighs 6.2 kg. Last week he weighed 6.4 kg, but he is in a healthy weight range and has been fed by both WYL and BOK since weighing.

Top Weight: Usually, the Observation Post chick takes out the top weight. Today he was 7.4kg, the same weight as Top Flat chick and the top weight went to Gun Pit Flat chick who was 8.4kg

Kb, sorry about your appt., it happens here as well. Whether you're sick at the day of appt or family emergency it's at least 8 weeks or longer until you can get in. If you need to get in sooner for an emergency, they send you to Urgent Care or Emergency Room.

Phyl, cute owl  ;D ... and there's the sweet Cuckoo  :-* ... wonderful news about the Philippine Eagle Cam. It's a magnificent creature in a beautiful country. Great to see a thread too. .. Thanks for Disney articles, I'll read later.  :)

Tsk, I tried to find a new GP here in Payson, it's a 6 - 9 mo wait for a new patient. And consider Payson population is 5800+, but they also deal with the surroundings small towns and off the grid population...  So, if we have an emergency we go to Urgent Care or Emergency Room. I'd love to move my yearly appts up here. Anyway, in September I'll make an appt for my yearly checkup with a new Dr. in Payson. I want to be prepared if someday Mike can't make that drive down to the valley.

Clynn, Sorry to hear Ed is continuing to have pain and discomfort.  :(  Sending prayers for him.....  beautiful spring orange colors... sitting next to fox, is mate and kit.  ;D ... sweet pics of the S & S  :-*  ... I love lobelia too. Love your beautiful English Garden.  :-*

{{{Tig}}} glad you were able to get your rental costs worked out..  ;D.... Congrats on game!

Hi Puff, Karen, Eagles, Baz  ;D

Mike will be returning from Gila Bend today.
Hopefully he will be able to get an allergy shot before he returns.
The pollen from the Junipers and the smoke from the controlled forest fires are bothersome for all.
Take care Everyone!  :-*

A lot of home purchases are all cash these days - it's how some people have been getting their offers accepted over other offers during the tight housing market. All cash offers don't have to meet many of the mortgage banking/loan requirements, such as insurance... the bank doesn't put a lien on a title for a home bought with all cash since it is bought in full outright by the new owner.




Clynn, I love that pic of the kittens!  :-* Are they pretty much inseparable? It sounds like they and Harley all got along okay while you were away. Hate you have to go through the separate feeding routine. I know someone who has to do that with their cats. I hope Ed gets some relief with the multi-prong treatment approach. I have to ask, LOL, what you mean in your post by STD - it's always stood for "sexually transmitted disease" in my medical abbreviations mind. LOL, I'm certain that isn't what it means in your post!  ;D

E4E, glad you all could get together for your aunt's birthday! Happy Birthday to your Aunt!  :D

Phyl, I love that papier-mâché owl!

Lani, that's an great report on the Albie chicks' weights! Love the picture - lucky people who work with them, and lucky for the Albies! Thanks for sharing!  :-*  Glad to hear Mike returns home today, and fingers crossed also after getting an allergy shot, and hope he gets some relief.


Take care, All!  :)

Baz - I know. But this one appears to have been a cover for a business....and we don't know how this couple paid cash for it...we've looked at the hennepin county records for who owns it. And know who. 7 or more people lived there or came and went. And  maybe nobody lived there permanently.

Appears to be a potential location for multiple labor workers..and then for Grandma.

That is not the point, however, other than no insurance means no recovery.

The point is why did the gas cause a house implosion? And then what wlll happen to our neighborhood?

TIG   Too bad for sure.  For as often as you guys go to this place I'm surprised he's going to make you pay full price for cancelling.  Reading on I see that he was able to get some renters - and like you say " it happened for a reason". 

BAZI  So glad you had a chance to watch the "Secrets"...  Great that folks are studying and learning about these amazing creatures who maybe have still a lot more to tell us.   That is how we sold our Door County place.  We had 3 offers and took the cash offer!

LANI     Gun Pit FLat baby is a real tubby  LOL   In this day and age we have to be so proactive about healthcare...Mike had a few days rest at home and now returning but maybe in Gila Bend there is less allergy discomfort when he is there?

I am late today, cause I was visiting with Sydney.  Bradley was off today, and Kelly was out running errands, so Bradley and I went to lunch with Sydney.  Here is a couple pics.

Aaaas! Pretty pink sweater!  Lolol what is with the hair sticking up?    Such a pretty baby! Did she eat with you?
The eyes are fabulous!
I have to say that between the stds and kbs house that is a cover for a business, this old lady is turning bright pink!  Lolol.

The blue flower I was trying ti think of the other day is Agapanthus!  Most of you would have to dig it up to overwinter!   May try to find some!

karen - That pony on top of her head is all of her bangs.  They don't want to cut her hair yet, but it is constantly in her eyes, so they put it up.  Yea, Sydney went to lunch with Bradley and I.  She loved the applesauce we ordered for her.

Lisa, Sydney is a real Cutie Patutie, love, love, love those beautiful eyes! That's exactly how our Sydney did Bella's hair when she was that age! I bet you had a wonderful lunch with the two of them! We are watching Talon and Bella Friday night so Erin and Sydney can to out with friends. I am getting 'prizes' ready!

tsk, yes, Sam and Sophie are getting big! She is the little trouble maker, always getting into things. We need to make some barriers in a couple of places on the deck. She climbs the screen to the top and can't get down. Ed has had to rescue her several times! Becky told me today that one of Jennifer's childhood friends who now lives in Germany has to have open heart surgery and he dearly wants for Jennifer to be there and stay for a while after to make sure he is doing well. I am sure she will go.

Sorry to confuse folks, STD in the business/financial world of health care is Short Term Disability (vs. LTD which is Long Term Disability). No sexual cooties here! LOLOL!

tsk, there are plants that I can't grow either. Petunias is one of them! My Aunt Linda can put 5 plants in her dry old window flower bed and they grow crazy. Not me.

baz, yes, the kittens are together a lot but once in a while they are on their own. Yes, a lot of cash offers happen on housing purchases, but it's pretty foolish not to have homeowner's insurance! If paying cash, you don't even have to have the bank or mortgage company involved unless the seller still has a mortgage on the property. Did you get to walk today?

Lani, thanks for the Alby updates, the babies are getting big! I do hope Mike can get his allergy shot on the way home!

karen, I am not sure what is planted in the sidewalk garden, I had help planting last year. I do see something coming up. Not sure what I will do this year. The hostas in the front garden are all coming up! We have three Rose of Sharon plants in one corner of the back yard. By the end of summer there were sprouts coming up all over, a couple hundred of them! I thought they would die off in the winter, we did have some very cold snaps. I looked at them this morning, they are all getting green buds on them!

CLYNN   Wow.  Jennifer to Germany for a while - what a friend indeed.  Prayers for her friend.  :-*   PHEW  Now we know what STD is  LOL   I should look into a Rose of Sharon...I have an empty space - part sun..  Margaret Seaman has a brain like no other to be able to knit that and many beautiful creations which I'm sure are from scratch..

Tig- Went back to your link and watched the 'Baltimore' vid - very interesting - thank you.

Tsk- We are approx 8 hrs drive away from San Diego.  We've been to San Diego twice, but did not go to the Zoo.  We visited our Son when he was stationed there for a while when he was in the USMC!    We enjoyed our Grandson's baseball game yesterday evening, and they won!

Phyl- Our Grandson's team won yesterday, the score was something like 18 - 5, but I don't remember the exact score.  He has another game tomorrow (Thursday)!  We will dress warmer for this one! Lol!  It really is fun to be out there with the group we sit with!

Lani- Yes, it would be nice if your sister was nearby and you could go watch her Grandkids play sports!  It is fun watching the kids! ;D   Hopefully Mike home now from Gila Bend! :)    Good luck in finding a new GP in Payson - hopefully you won't have to wait months to see a new doctor. {{Lani}}

Kb- So sad that the office customer svc rep couldn't show some sort of compassion to you for having to reschedule your appt due to the emergency situation in your neighborhood. :(     Maybe you can call them periodically in the mornings and ask if anyone has cancelled their appointment and then maybe you can take it! 

Clynn- Beautiful beach in Oceanside, OR!  Love the white sandy beach.  Looks perfect for those kids to be playing!    S & S are getting so big - seems like it happened so quickly! :)

Tig- That place you just rescheduled with should be refunding your reservation as it sounds like you were calling at least a few days ahead of time.   I don't even think it should matter what your reason for cancelling/rescheduling was! :(    Hopefully they do the fair/right thing for you. {{Tig}}  Okay, I just read your update on your reservation.  I have not heard of a place handling things in that manner. :(

Baz- Thank you and yes, we all enjoyed visiting my Aunt yesterday for a couple of hours for her 91st birthday!

LisaG- Cute sweet pics of Sydney!!  So happy for you in going to lunch with your Son and Granddaughter!! Bet you had a wonderful day!!

Beakers have a good night. :)

TSK- that is a fabric owl this morning.  Pretty cardinals today.

 CLYNN-tube of paint, pretty cool garden decor and clever use of marigolds, I almost used that one this morning.
Maggie saying S and S are a cute pair, thanks. Your front garden is lovely, imagine that's a lot of work.
Was hoping Ed had some relief in his shoulder by now.
Many moons ago---I did some pier fishing at Oceanside. OMG! Largest hole in the world.

TIG- nice for you getting the rental costs worked out

BAZ- fabric owl this AM, one can see the stitching upon scrutiny

LANI- tks for the update on the Royal Albie chicks, OP chick takes the top weight slot. GPF chick is plump. Nice snap of chicks and ranger. Hope Mike
can get some effective relief from his Juniper allergies

LISA- darling snaps of Sydney; no doubt having lunch with her and Bradley was loads of fun and such a treat for you to spend
time with Bradley /Sydney.

KAREN- got me with some of those plant names.

CLYNN- sounds Talon and Bella will have lots of fun w/you & Ed  Friday night; you really plan their activities well
Just fabulous knitting by Margaret Seaman. That was a great article in BBC news Norwich. More awesome photos
of her workmanship. Thanks for sharing--really enjoyed.
LOL thought  you had me fooled with the STD  ;D
Prayers at our home alter for Jennifer's friend and safe journey for Jennifer

HI EAGLES- congrats to your grandson on his team's victory. I enjoy the live in person games too. Always nice to spend time
with  one's family---glad you could do that with your aunt.

E4E... Hi. Most places on the north shore have a very strict policy and it is clearly stated on their website. We usually get travel insurance if we go for an extended period of time or spend more money, like for a cruise. I suppose I could have begged him to allow me to mail a check, but I doubt he would accept.
Hugs

Tsk, Gila Bend is very dry and warmer than Payson. No allergy problems there for Mike. He got his shot and is home. I'm sure it will help.

{{{Lisa}}} so happy for you to be able to meet Bradley and your sweet Sydney for lunch. Now, I know you told us the color of her eyes. But, those eyes just take you in!

Clynn, Jennifer's a good friend to help care for friend in Germany. Sending prayers for her friend.... It'll be a great TGIF for you this Friday!

Eagles, so far it's a six month wait to see a new doctor here.... I send many birthday wishes to your Aunt. 91 years old,

Phyl, beautiful moon.

Good night!

Lani, glad Mike was able to get his allergy shot!  How long is the pollen thick in the air in Payson? Love the baby and kitty sleeping... I woke up this morning and Sam and Sophie were together asleep next to me. Usually it's just Sam and Sophie is somewhere else on the bed!

Phyl, very interesting picture of the earth in the shadow of the moon! How are things going for you and Jim and, of course, Miss Maggie? Erin is coming over tomorrow after work to mow our lawn, it is getting shaggy looking.  ::) ::) What a great video of the Philippine eaglet! Thank you for posting it! The Trempealeau eaglets are looking, and we were all worried! Love the video of the North kids and their synchronized looking at all the things going on around them!  Tiny Chicklets, I remember those!  One of my favorites:

tsk, I think you would like the Rose of Sharon! It gets pretty tall, and I think it does better with some shade, not full sun all day... The flowers are beautiful!

E4E, I think beaches are beautiful, I would love to go to sleep listening to the sound of the waves. Years ago I was at a convention at Amelia Island in FL, I woke up thinking it was storming. It was the waves! We were in condos like these, very close to the water...

LANI    That's what I thought.  When you were living in the desert he probably felt better as well.  ;)  Glad he was able to get the shot.  Gorgeous cat with baby last night.

PHYL  I suspect the gum machine is a bank??  LOL  Thanks for Amy's blog on the N2B nest gosling jumpers - or not.  Wonder how many times that happens?   Toddler walk for D17 across the nest.  LOL  Beautiful closeup of those pin feathers.   Don't think I have ever seen a grouse in the trees  :o  365      Neil Rettig is involved with the Philippine eagle project and maybe that is how RRP got the camera connection to the nest?

CLYNN   What a great idea for a wind chime - I have a whole box of "questionable" keys  LOL  I took a picture of it.  So S&S will be bed sleepers.  LOL    Lulu doesn't bed sleep much any more.  I'm going to look into the Rose of Sharon at the nursery when it is time to go there.  I've always thought Amelia island would be a good place to go for a vacation.  Would you go back there?   Wish Mr Handsome would fight for Iris.  :(

Made me think, Lani - does Mike have a problem in the Midwest with allergies? like with deciduous trees, grasses, weeds etc.? or is it just the Junipers in your area?

Continuing to prepare for 4 days of rain in a row..we lost our drought category a while back and don't see it returning anytime soon LOL, even with very little snow.

Fertilized, grass seeded, gardened etc. all day yesterday, now am mostly ready. Taking Ollie out for his last walk for a few pretty soon.

Been consoling Dennis and Vi as well daily. They still don't have their land line..for being 87 and not in good health I hope that changes soon.

Baz - I know. But this one appears to have been a cover for a business....and we don't know how this couple paid cash for it...we've looked at the hennepin county records for who owns it. And know who. 7 or more people lived there or came and went. And  maybe nobody lived there permanently.

Appears to be a potential location for multiple labor workers..and then for Grandma.

That is not the point, however, other than no insurance means no recovery.

The point is why did the gas cause a house implosion? And then what wlll happen to our neighborhood?

KB, I wasn't speaking specifically to your previous posts about that house. Other people posted here about understanding that homes require insurance coverage, and I was responding purely about some instances when home insurance isn't required with a home sale. I was not talking anything in particular about your nearby exploded house neighbors, or why or how they paid cash, or why or how they use their home. I only was mentioning instances where insurance is not required with a home sale. Have a good day.

No problem, I guessed as much.

What I just shook my head at was why someone? would pay cash for a house and not Immediately protect it with home insurance....I still can't fathom that one. I know they weren't required to.

Occasionally I have heard in the past of people mistakenly not being able to afford it and end with dire consequences across the country

Just blows my mind not to protect an investment like that.

I know they are going to have lots of fun there! LOL on the cat getting stuck at the top of the screen... makes me think of that old saying, "Have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?"  ;) ;) ;D  But I understand how "sticky" their nails can get in screens, especially kittens' nails... can't help but wonder how long they would hang up their and meow for rescue till they figured out how to either turn around or back down. Glad Ed was there for the rescue!  :D :-* I agree it's foolish not to have home insurance. Prayers for Jennifer's friend in Germany. That's so nice of her to travel and stay there to help and support him.

She is a very Amazing lady!!!!  Thank you  :)       Wow-largest hole in the world is so Amazing too!!  I watched part of it, but I will want to go back and watch again.  That fellow sure does a great job of narrating his story!
That will be a fun evening tomorrow (Fri.) when you have Talon & Bella over for a while!! ;D  Nice that Erin & Sydney can go out with their friends for an evening!
Beautiful photo of Amelia Island in FL  :)

Tig- Thank you for explaining more about the strict policies some of those places have.  Glad you didn't have to pay out more than what you did!

I got to watch my boyfriend play tennis today.  :-* :-*  I feel better now.  ;) :D   He was playing in the Madrid Open, a clay court warm-up tournament before the French Open.

Some info for those who want to watch...
The French Open (at Roland Garros, in Paris) is the 2nd tennis major of the year - Qualifying Play starts May 20th, and 1st Round Match Play starts May 26th this year, I believe.

French Open:

This year, the French Open will be only 2 months before the Summer Olympics, also in Paris, with Tennis on its schedule, of course.

Thanks for link to Philippine eaglet.  :-* ... love the tiny Chicklets my fab for years... pretty lamp in good night pic.

Kb, Beautiful fox, perfect winner ... Mike has problems with the Junipers trees, the smoke from the controlled fires. {{{Dennis and Vi}}}

Lisa, Love your grandbaby, those eyes!  :-*

Baz, I hope you had a good day  :)... as good as a Wood Chuck  ;D

Eagles, good luck to your grandson and team! Keep warm.... It's turned cold here too.

Clynn, Sweet S & S  :-* , does Harley sleep in your room too? I'm holding my breath for Iris and this possible new Beau.  ;D..... great idea for a wind chime!  ;D ... awww sweet pic of the Minnesota Eaglets  ;D

Tsk, Clynn, Kb Pollen hangs around for about 3 to 4 weeks.... here's a video, this is in Prescott, but it happens everywhere north of the valley, like Payson, Sedona, Flagstaff, etc.

Pollen Explosion in Prescott
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDIRTigwYFs

"Spring brings the pollen from many plants. In Prescott, AZ, we have an abundance of Juniper trees. Their pollen builds up so heavily that at some point something has to give. The weight of the pollen drops from one branch hits another branch and the trees seem to explode! I had seen this many times, and when I saw it this time, I had my phone in hand and started filming the explosion of the pollen from the trees. This was in the morning and there was no wind involved here, just the tree itself shedding the pollen all over the area. Nearby cars ended up having a layer of yellow pollen covering the vehicle and people's allergies are so bad that everyone is taking medicines of some type and have become friends with tissues."

 Audacity: according to Chat, she's been on the nest and having a rough time with all the high winds common to the
channel. Some owl attacks lately. It's a 'mystery' why she's been there as no egg after the 2nd disaster last month or so.

Lani, oh my, that pollen explosion is something else! I can see why it would really cause grief to someone allergic to pollen! It looks like thick smoke! Harley sleeps downstairs in the Mole Hole most of the time, that is where Ed works and piles his stuff up. I won't let the kittens into the basement yet, too many places for them to get lost!  I am also hoping beyond hope that Iris will accept this sweet new guy! It would be wonderful to have babies in the nest again...

baz, glad you got to watch your boyfriend play tennis!

Phyl, I wonder if that wave sound would help Ed sleep. I He usually won't try anything... Very relaxing 365 this morning! The Nut House! LOLOL! 54 right now and raining, 64 the high today with rain and thunderstorms likely. Some may be severe, winds 20-30 mph. Windy...strong thunderstorms during the evening will give way to partly cloudy skies after midnight. Damaging winds, large hail and possibly a tornado with some storms.

Peaceful Flyway sunrise, love those North kids. They are at that funny looking stage! Interesting about the Shakespeare influence on our words! I wish the Sauces eagles would find a new place for their nest, away from whatever is contaminated where they are...

E4E, hope your Grandson had a winning game last night!

tsk, there is no telling what Bella will be up to tonight! Painting, Play-Doh, nail painting, Barbies, baby dolls, stickers, and more...still a bit chilly to play outside and it will be raining anyway. I will get some pictures!

Lisa, Bella's pacifier was just like Sydney's! Here she is about the same age as Sydney:

LANI   That is one major problem with juniper trees.  :o  Do you have a way of keeping it out of the house?   Blows around like a cloud.
 Had no idea.  Feel bad for all those who suffer because of it.  :(       Hope the meeting is productive.  ;)  Food sounds yummy  :)

BL   Hope you were in the house when the bobcat appeared.    What might be the reason you are seeing them more often?

CLYNN   I had forgotten about Billy Gibbons being on Bones  LOL    Rain starting here today at the same time my garden group is to meet for garden clean-up   :P  I may have to cancel.  Tim uses his sound machine a lot!!!   That same weather pattern is heading this way  Rain in the forecast for the next 4 days or so.    Hopeful news from Hellgate  ???

Sheriff's view right after explosion...I never saw this as emergency vehicles prevented us from that corner of the house. The woman was still inside a yelling for help. their body cam video shows them knocking down the front door blocked with debris and removing her.

Yah!...a huge dump truck just backed into not what's left of this house (nothing but debris) but my neighbor's Maureen and Jim one house between us.

They are removing their burnt out shed right now!...I don't have to look and be reminded every time I walk through my dining room after removed

I got moving, got to the pool and worked out hard, showered and went to Caribou for which I had a gift card, and made it home. As I was walking up the sidewalk the raindrops were following me. LOL.

Decorah North Eagles - April 25, 2024

Those were good pics, Clynn.....this was at the end though after they'd fought the fire for around 2 hours. You can see that back hoe on Dennis and Vi's yard and after they brought it down the junk is maybe a foot away from their house.

Also, reporters: The house exploded first....then the fire. When I walked up there within 5 minutes the outside gas meter was on fire. They said they don't know what caused the fire. No they do. They don't know why the house exploded however...Not sure we will ever be told why. I don't like that as any homeowner could learn from the reason for prevention sake.

this one is more accurate with video of the worn body cams of the 2 sheriffs who first entered the home.
He says: The kitchen and living room were in the front yard and all the walls were unstable.
This was just minutes before I arrived.

That female deputy is who went door to door asking us all to leave our homes immediately after the secondary fire in back yard

KB Was that a glimpse of you at the end of the news clip talking to a couple people?

Yep - gone.  No fixing that up.  Can't fathom not having bought some kind of insurance.  Old mistake some make "nothing will happen . . . .  ."  So Sad.

Neighbors behind me and one house over had a house fire about 3 or 4 months ago.  It didn't look total - but they haven't moved back in, haven't even been seen, no work, windows boarded up though.  Lady said it isn't that  bad - she only can say that because it's not her house.  There was plenty of smoke and at least an hour for FD to get it stopped.  Lot of windows broken out, still boarded.  Neighbor right next to me, who husband talked to them, said they suspected something with the newly installed solar panels.  That house was erected before mine, one of the first in our development, I moved in 1971.  They bought house in 2020.

Mornin' Lani.  Your pollen shot was really an eye opener.  WOW.  I'm sure you have issues during the season just keeping  it out of the house.  Even worse that Mike has to live through it.  I also wonder how many of the retirees, as an aging process, have moved to that area for retirement.  They really have to be forewarned.  The video also shows what is hard to image. 

Then too, how about all those tornadoes, BIG tornadoes.  Hopefully they blew mostly over fields and not over homes/barns/businesses.  From Fox weather this morning they quoted either 57 or 97 (?) reports.  Eeeeek.  Today's prediction is more of the same.

Sad mention also this morning on FNC of those who are having to accept not having a much deserved college graduation ceremony and celebration.  They likewise 4 years ago were denied the high school graduation festivities because of the start of CoVid.  SO SAD.  I'm sure the family and friends gave them some kudos and fun.  But still not the big achievement taking the limelight.

Good day for Lani and all.  Enjoy the weekend.

I was also so disappointed when I read that Dr. Green confirmed Iris'suitor as Louis... we had a very heavy, windy rain pass through last night after I had been asleep a while, and I think the siren went off again. Or was I dreaming?  I gathered Sam and Sophie up and put them in their little tent to take them downstairs when we went to the Mole Hole earlier, when the kids were here. They didn't like it much!

karen, I think Pink lives in Clarinda, which is in that corner of Iowa that is very close to Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. I couldn't find that any tornadoes touched down there, except for one that was 13 miles away. Hope they are all safe...

oldguy, yes, that rain came somewhere around 11:30 or so, that's when I thought I heard the sirens going off again... All looks okay outside although I haven't been out to check. Wow, you can really see how big the Dali is in the video you posted! I wonder what all is in all those containers!

nr just posted this morning - Good to see they are ok after tornadoes went right over last night.  3 eggs now! (Wells Fargo nest)

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

So far so good for our Iowans??  Rough day for so many.

LANI   Good choice on the honey ham.  I find Canadian bacon sometimes too dry.  Bet there wasn't any left.  :)  ;)

PHYL   Cool eagle owl pics. 

CLYNN   Happy to hear the tornadoes missed you  How did last night go with the kids?

Always surprised when I see standing homes next to total devastation down to the foundation.

I usually skip the advertisements before the you tube video starts. On the video from Elkhorn I didn't as it caught my eye. Even though I have fire extinguishers in every room of my house those fire blankets look worth having. On my amazon list. Thanks!

Puff, Kb, Tsk, Lisa I find Canadian bacon dry too... the ham adds a nice flavor, also I didn't have fresh green onions, so I used 2 T of dried green onions. I dry my own green onions, as we use it a lot in my butter sauce dishes, especially for Mike's butter sauce that he likes on his broiled halibut. I'm going to dry a couple green onion bunches today. And even though it's easy to make Hollandaise sauce. I do love Knorr's Hollandaise sauce packets. Also, I buy Wolferman's muffins, we've had that discussion here before. LOL!! So please make it with whatever brand you love. I love a thick english muffin when making this casserole, it sets nicely overnight and gives it a nice bread pudding like texture. And I love bread pudding! I don't often make it as Mike doesn't like eggs, casseroles or bread pudding.  ;D

Clynn, sending hugs and prayers of thanks that you and family okay after the storms passing.  :-*... awww, glad everything is okay at WF osprey nest.  :) ... oh Louis  :( .... Mike will love the Pecan Pie Cobbler. I'll have to make that for him. Maybe Father's Day.  ;D

Phyl, {{{prayers for DN18 and RRP's decisions}}} ... awesome nature vid of Eagle owls.  :-*

Oldguy, it's shocking to see the destroyed homes, and then see others okay.  :'( Prayers for the life of families and their pets. For the those aiding and helping.  :-*

Kb, Love the big bear at the end of the man's cam. But the skunk putting its butt to face the other critters was a funny! LOL! It was interesting to see Fox kits drinking same time as a cat.... The Wildlife crossing is so cool, I wish more state DOTs would adopt this idea.

Taken from our 2nd floor patios off the livingroom/kitchen/Mike's office/bedroom. 3 Juniper trees with yellow mustard seeds still intact after last night's rainstorm. There are more in the front and throughout our area. I was hoping to wash off the patio and outdoor furniture. Remove patio cushions and pillows and clean up today. But, I better wait, just clean up what I can like I do everyday. Sadie's bath and window/screens cleaning will have to wait a couple more weeks too. But, I'm dying to take a water hose to everything. I dust/vacuum daily inside.

Lani - great idea to dry some green onions....I actually have some growing in my front garden that come up every year. I never harvest them, slapping my forehead. I buy them often but find they get "old", moldy quickly and often throw out some.

Do you just hang them upside down until dry and then chop?.

Curious as I have a lot of recipes that prefer green onion and this sounds like a great idea.

We must have posted at the same time!...oh my Lani...that's a lot of work annually.

Got a walk in with Ollie this am between rain drops, Yah!

I didn't know hollandaise was suppose to be hard to make!  I just make mine.

Lani  Then there's your tumbleweed season for you, too. (forgot name) They're keeping you off the streets and out of trouble.  (Newest saying = Keeping you away from the malls and out of trouble.)

There is a new line of English muffins.  I'm not sure of your habits or market availability, made by Bays, called Buoche English muffins.

I bet your egg casserole and lemon pound cake were very yummy at your meeting yesterday!      I've never thought about drying green onions. We use fresh quite a bit! 

BL- I would have froze too! :o

Phyl- Thank you for all the fantastic nest cam pics!      Thank you for posting the latest on poor lil DN18 this morning.  Sure am wishing for all the best for our little guy. Prayers. . . .

Hope you and the Munchkins had a fun evening together!!  ;D

Tsk- I see you have rain in your forecast.  We had just a small amount of rain yesterday.  It looks mid-week we are forecast for a warm up - perhaps getting low 70 temps!

Puff- Thanks for mentioning the little gosling!  Maybe as you said, there will be later hatchings. :)

Kb- Terrible to see such damage to your neighbor's house. :(

Tig- Good for you in hitting the pool early yesterday  :)

Og- Glad you had Friday off to catch up on things for yourself! :)     Terrible to see the damage in Minden :o  Unbelievable devastation. :o ::)

Puff & tsk - The Brioche English muffins sound delicious.  I am not sure if my grocery carries that brand name. 

Two trips to Walmart today is not what I had planned.  We are in the process up upgrading all the TV's in our house to Smart TV's, so we can get rid of the cable.  I like to watch TV while I am sitting at the computer in the PC room, and we thought that a 24" Smart TV was good enough.  We have a 27" flat screen in here now.  The 3" inches does make a difference, and I could not see the picture clearly.  I took it back, and got me a 32".

Phyl, I am so relieved to hear that DN18 no longer has that awful fishing line attached!  Hallelujah is right! I am thinking there was no hook attached to it, thank goodness! Love that picture of the two! 61 here, high 68 today, and off/on rain.

I do have some pictures, Bella with all her Taylor Swift bracelets, Talon's new curly hair-do, and Bella at the Taylor S Birthday Party yesterday!

Lani, I used to make teriyaki beef jerky too! And I dried fruits and flowers for craft projects, I still have little hearts made of an applesauce mixture, coated with cinnamon and dried in the dehydrator! And that was at least 30 years ago! Hope the pollen is beginning to clear! Love the good night cat picture!

BL, I bet you and Kopje see a lot in the morning when you are doing your camping man business!

tsk, looks like rain off and on for a few days here, you will probably have some of the same. Looks like with all that scientists can do that they should be able to come up with some way to remove the calories from all the good stuff!

Lisa, your tv saga! Yes, bigger is better. So they say.  :o We moved to a 65" when our 55" died after 3 years. Before that we had a 37" or so, that was the biggest size that would fit in our entertainment center. It died after about 12  or so years and was not a smart tv, so we gave the big oak entertainment center away, got a console and the 55" tv.

E4E, congrats to your grandson and another win! Love the Hell's Angel kitties!

some bounce

TSK... "Between this mole and that one." LOL! There is a cardboard template that hangs around your neck with a cutout. And in the booklet it shows examples of where or how much to move the patch if the skin is irritated. It appears my skin is affected only at the 4 small areas where the end of the leads wires are, with tiny extra mounds of plastic (?), not the whole adhesive area which holds the device. I change it every 5 days... two more times before it comes off on the 11th.

clynn  Like the new look on Talon.  Won't have to worry about combing or any hair out of place.  A more grown up/current look.

Well, now  I think I'll have to wait to try the EB casserole.  Jewel was all out of Bays Brioche muffins.  It's either that or use ones from my freezer.  To keep that taste and light texture I'd rather use fresh.  However, not a dang package on the shelf.  (PS Tsk Appreciate the spell check  ::)  )

tig I was glad to find out that my heads-up on the rash from that monitor can be an issue.  I didn't want to worry you.  I guess the company finally got the word.  I never got such a print instruction.  When the patch came off for good I at least had on hand an ointment I use for my eczema.  Ahhhhhh - it felt so good.

Enjoy!!!

Lani - Thanks for the link to the dried herbs.  :D

clynn - Jeff says, lets get a 55" for the bedroom.  I was like OK, well Misty is scared of it when we turn it on.  I think just all the light and the flashing from the pic makes her scared.  We are going to put it in the living room, since the room is bigger in there.  Love the pics of the munchkins, and love Talon's curly hair!  Bella...I am a Swiftie fan, too!  ;D I am in the middle of watching the Eras Tour on Disney+

(((Prayers for all in the path of the severe storms and tornado outbreaks.)))



I walked 35 minutes yesterday and 38 minutes today.

The big heavy-duty splint on my hand came off Friday after it was xrayed again. Xray showed the fracture is still there, of course, but healing is happening. It was the best view I have seen of it, and it is a larger break than I had realized. Anyway, that finger is now "buddy taped" to my ring finger with some sliky soft fabric held together with a velcro-like wrap. The hand ortho wants me to start using them. Some improvement -  I could pick up an empty coffee cup with my sprained index finger for the 1st time today. Yay! It hurt, but I could hold and lift the empty cup. Progress.  ;)  I have a 1st appt this coming week with the PT to help with regaining mobiity and strength.


Tsk, yes! I watched my boyfriend win his 2nd round match yesterday!  :-* :-*

Tig, I've only been checking in on some matches here and there, and not watching too much right now. I did watch some of the Andreeva match today, as well as some of the Alcaraz match and some of the Fritz match; otherwise, just a little of this and that on other courts. I'm sort of saving up my tennis watching hours for the French Open.



Take care, All. :)

Clynn, love Talons hair!  His previous very short do made him look like a miniature Marine!  This is a handsome young man look!   Tell me, is this a perm or a cut by someone who knew how to bring out the curl?   Bella can be tge president of the TS fan club!   Glad you kept them safe during the bad weather!   One of the reasons I hate those storms when they are forecasted here is the lack of a basement!

83 for a high today and partly cloudy! Temps will be inching up during the week to about 91/with no rain in the forecast for the next ten days!
Happy to read DN 18 no longer  has fishing line  hanging out!  Hope there are no problems going forward.

Nice bear enclosure.   How many bears live there?  Can they come and go?    I am confused as I thought they lived in the wild!  Will have to look this up!

Tsk- I too, have wondered how Pink is doing.  I have missed her not posting in the Beak.    We did have a wonderful afternoon/evening at the retirement celebration yesterday!  It was at a brewery and they had outdoor sitting which is where we all were!  Weather was nice and hubby and I shared a grilled salad out there! 

Tig- Good for you in how you are taking care of and moving your Monitor as needed. {{Tig}}

BL- You and Kopje taking care of business!  ;D

Lani- You made Teriyaki beef jerky 20 years ago!!!! Yum, I get it was quite a treat for the family!!   Awe, So sad about Harriet and how Horst loved that nest.

Oldguy, Oh My God! The Train conductor and workers had nerves of steel! They were so lucky the train was picked up or moved off the tracks.... I love this version of Vincent with Don McLean and Home Free. It's brought this beautiful thought provoking song forward. I'm a huge fan... Blue Grass brothers! Where do you find these new young singers.  ;D ... still hard to believe the train conductor and workers were okay.

Tig, thank you for posting the Key Bridge Workers Memorial, a beautiful celebration of their life.

Tsk, great idea you posted to Tig about a permanent memorial with artwork included.

{{{Baz}}} glad to hear the heavy duty splint was removed and your hand is improving. The pt will help with continued healing.

SED Lisa  :)

Eagles, I'll post my Teriyaki Sauce recipe tomorrow. I received a 1st edition Kauai cookbook published in 1956 as a wedding gift. Now, it's old, pages worn and stained (teriyaki sauce  ;D ) I don't have the back cover after all these years.

Karen, North American Black Bear Center has three bears Holly, Lucky and Tasha that they keep in closures in the winter. They have a large area in the summer the bears can enjoy..

OLDGUY  WOW  Train with the direct hit.  Wonder why it wasn't moving to start with?  Almost seems like it could have beat it had it been moving?  I'll catch Leslie's story at lunch today.   Liked Home Free.   Bluegrass brothers - what a talented group of young men  ;D   Too bad about the 1 tornado death.  :(

Lani  You made me smile re story of the teriyaki sauce having been used to mark its past.  Had a similar occasion in December with my niece Michelle who stopped by while I was in the midst of the cookies.   She looked at my "reference" and asked what's that.  Only a lot of years and a lot of cookies and a lot of memories.  It's now held together, the pieces that is, by a large rubber band. 

My first mother-in-law gifted me mine in about 1968.   Betty Crocker Cooky Cookbook - in a binder.  She had a bound edition from years waaaaaaay back.  (Did you notice the spelling - not a mistake that's the way it was named and still is.)  Fun part is Michelle - and her husband - have a more recent one they use that she says is like a paperback book.   But ya' know what?   I think she has her eye of rescuing my edition as I pass away.  Poor book fell apart from usage and the stuffing of additional found favorite cookie recipes.  Nice to have and open each Christmas.  :'(

Phyl, love the pictures of the North nest, the Mama Goose and Newman in the eerie fog... And the even eerier sound of the loons in the 365. Is there an egg on the Philippine Eagles nest or are we waiting patiently? Love the good night picture from last night!

oldguy, wow on that video of the octopus tornado! I would be skedaddling off in the opposite direction! Can't imagine sitting there filming it! The one of the tornado knocking the train off its tracks - WOW again!  Thanks for Leslie's video!

Lani, thanks for the Bear Update, everything is looking great... but I miss Ted... Looking forward to your teriyaki recipe, homemade is always better! Sweet sheep...

E4E, glad to hear the Retirement party was a hit! Yes, the picture of Bella with her hand on her hip! She is quite the sassy girl, in a good way, always into something! I am sure she was singing in the picture and that she knew all the words to the song!

karen, here is a picture of Talon and the perm. I wish there was a way to make the hair curl without a perm!

Watching the train/tornado story I wasn't sure that the train was either hit directly or blown over.  It really did get a beating at any rate.   What I also wondered about was the cute little house setting all alone in the path of the funnel.  Noone and nothing else in the area.  Hope it made it thru.

The 8 am  local news just had the weather person say our rain is over for the day.  Whatta y'all think?

CLYNN  Beautiful coffee bean heart...and those delicate flowers in the rain.   Talon such a good sport having his picture taken during the perm.  LOL  Did Dad or Mom take him?  Never think of cemeteries being hit by tornadoes...

Clynn, I worked with a Guy ho had a  Head of curly hair, like Talon!  I asked him if it  was  natural or a perm .H e looked great, had  great  sense of humor and was successful.  He said his hair was wavy  as a   Kid  nd  he  spent  a lot of time trying to make  it  straight !   He had pictures and it looked like a pompadour!   He said that after a move and a new barber, life changed!   The barber asked if he liked his hair to which he  replied, no!  The barber said he would cut it the way it should be and hence forth he had curls!  A great look!

Lani, thanks for  the explanation of the bears!
Funny about cookbooks!  I have one that  is a little worse for ware but others almost unused!  Quite a collection!   I also have recipes in my mother and aunts handwriting and almost never use anything other than the things I find on line!
Temps going to 84 today!   Glad there are no tornadoes in this area now.  Scary stuff!
Lisa, those are beautiful colors this am!

Royal Albatross cam

Ranger Sharyn Broni posted
Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)

Weigh day has come a day early again this week. We will back to Tuesday weigh day next week.
Top Flat chick is 97 days old and weighs 7.9 kg at 12.35 today. Last week’s weight was 7.4kg.

https://www.doc.govt.nz/nat...

Top Flat Track chick is 89 days old and weighs 7.6 kg at 12.35 today. Last week’s weight was 6.2 kg.
All four parents are around but sometimes they need to take a longer foraging trip to feed themselves as well as their fast-growing chick.
In case you haven’t seen it, here is our What to Expect video for May/June.

What To Expect On The Royal Albatross Cam: May–June | Adult Feathers And Sex Characteristics video link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9ijwgtvq2k&t=5s

Without DNA testing it would only be around this early part of the winter that the sex of all the chicks would be accurately determined. The males are heavier now, although a large female could be bigger than a small male.
Chicks are starting to wander a bit more from their nests now with distances up to 50m being possible. They are likely to return to their nests as this is where their parents will return to feed them.
Exploring the area may help the toroa find the place they were raised when they return as adolescents in 5 years’ time.

Yesterday was Family time for chick TFT. Both parents come to check in for feedings.  :-*

Lots of  haircuts going around tsk .  What a lovely bunch we are.  My big surprise was the color clynn  .  For years for many reasons it made sense to support Clairol to get the color I just needed to have.  Laugh was on me.  Again, for a couple iffy reasons I let it go.  I ended up the exact shade I tried so hard to match - I matched my dad's - naturally.   Laugh's on me.  Big Guy above must have laughed real hard.  He knew what to do. 

karengramke  Likewise in the recipe in their own writing.  (First coming to mind is my dear sil gone above:  rice pudding and a sloppy joe recipe.)  So many more like that and like you that I cherish, too.

BAZI   Thanks for the update on your hand.  Good progress!!!  Will it be a PT or an OT?

...

TSK, it will be OT. I considered cancelling that appt today because I have made leaps and bounds progress as of today! I can now pick up a coffee cup full of coffee using my index finger and thumb - it hurts, but I can do it.Yay!! Also, I can bend my index finger lots more today, in a grasping/gripping "make a fist" type motion - not all the way, but so much better. Can bend the broken middle finger almost halfway down to my palm now, too, but not curling it much! It hurts, but I can do it!  :D  I decided to keep the appt. The instruction and exercises will be good to get, along with setting expectations. My middle finger has peeled twice now, LOL, from having been covered by that heavy duty splint, that was akin to a soft cast, but not one. It's still very swollen, but not nearly as red/discolored, but the shape of the middle joint area is pretty ugly  :P.

tsk, Lesley makes wonderful videos, the Chickadee video is so good, and I love her voice!  We can watch all of her old videos again since she has retired...

Sophie somehow got onto the roof, climbing the deck screen up to where it meets the house! She has done this several times and we had to get her down! We could hear her walking in the gutter or on top of it or something (we have gutter guards). But SOMEHOW she managed to get out onto the actual roof over the garage! I have the guy who fixed the deck roof coming over to do some more cat proofing. Because if she can get out, a squirrel could get in!

eburg, the price of a perm these days is outrageous, and I get one every three months! I told my stylist that I need to have a punch card so I could get a free one every 5 years or so...She just laughed...

Puff, I gave up on coloring my hair when I retired. Ed was gray before he was 30! Hey, I get my hair cut tomorrow morning! And Kelsey gets hers cut tomorrow afternoon!

Lani, thanks for the Royal Alby updates! I want to hug one of those big fluffy babies!

baz, have you watching tennis today?  Watch out for that swollen angry middle finger! Glad to hear they are getting better!

The Ghost Fleet of Mallows Bay, located in Maryland, USA.
It is here that hundreds of ships were sunk, 230 alone by the United States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation, with more than 100 of the vessels being wooden steamships, part of a fleet built to cross the Atlantic during World War I. 
Because they were built of wood, most of these ships were already obsolete by the end of the war, and the U.S. Navy did not want them due to high storage costs.  They were sold to the Western Marine & Salvage Company and moved to the Potomac River in Virginia, and eventually towed to Mallows Bay in 1925.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


I watched my boyfriend win his 3rd round match at the Madrid Open today.  :-* :-*  Yay!  It was a nailbiter finish.

I walked 32 minutes today.


Prayers for those in the path of the severe weather and the tornado outbreaks of the last several days across a number of states.

Sadly, at least 5 dead in tornadoes outbreak, with at least 100 injured. Searches are still in progress in a number of areas. Numbers may change.
Here are some of the details from different towns of deaths and injuries and damage:

Baz, I do not know hoe much movement you should be putting on the broken finger!  Thought that when you reported on the condition!  Would hate for you to rebreak it!   Be interesting to see. What ot has to say!

eburgbirdwatcher!lolol! reminds me hoe much  tooth paste, laundry detergent , bath  soap, etc cost when I was in college and had to restock!   What a shpock!   My mother thought it was funny!
Oh my Clynn!  How did you get Sophie Off of the roof!?

Karen, I agree! But the hand ortho told me to start using it when they took the big heavy splint off of it this past Friday. It is "buddy taped" to my ring finger, and I can remove that at times. Yep, the OT will provide further recommendations.

Clynn, LOL, my version of that injured middle finger salute is attached - it's the picture from the original ultra-lightweight splint, that was changed a few days later by the hand ortho to a much more heavy-duty splint/taping, which I don't have a picture of in "the salute" mode.  ;) ;D  Yep, I watched some tennis today - saw my boyfriend win his dicey 3rd round match, and watched Madison Keys take a somewhat surprising very close win over Coco Gauff. Also saw some of the Andreeva match - it was her 17th birthday today, so her win was her b'day present. My boyfriend plays again tomorrow.

The very temporary lightweight original splint picture is attached below. It was changed a few days later by the hand ortho to a much more substantial splint and taped covering.  ;)

BAZI    You are making good progress and technically you would likely rehab your own hand by just using it.  But good idea to get the OT eval and a home program which would safely guide your progression to meet goals.  ;)

CLYNN   You can tell Lesley is Canadian because "about" comes out as " aboot"  LOL  Mom had a friend born in Canada who never lost that accent.  No disrespect EMY  ;) ;) ;)   Sophie is quite a handful  :o  I would have been hysterical with her on the roof.  Reminds me of Miri climbing trees while Maru and Hana look on  LOLOL     I like your idea of a punch card - get 5 perms and next one is on the house   ;D    Ghost fleet of Mallows Bay.  Interesting.  Looks like a nest in that second photo.

Tsk, I was hoping that might be the case, but had some reservations about the middle finger - it's pretty ugly in the middle, and even though still swollen quite a bit, it doesn't seem to be operating the way I would expect it to so far. I'm hoping it's just a matter of time, and it is making progress, but I'm still somewhat concerned about it. Looking to get some positive feedback from the OT. Fingers crossed - on the other hand! I can't cross my fingers on my hurt hand yet.  ::) ;) Ouch!

Clynn, I forgot to say, thank goodness Sophie's escapades were discovered and she was brought back in safely before getting into any further predicaments!  :-*


Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

tsk, Lesley makes wonderful videos, the Chickadee video is so good, and I love her voice!  We can watch all of her old videos again since she has retired...

Sophie somehow got onto the roof, climbing the deck screen up to where it meets the house! She has done this several times and we had to get her down! We could hear her walking in the gutter or on top of it or something (we have gutter guards). But SOMEHOW she managed to get out onto the actual roof over the garage! I have the guy who fixed the deck roof coming over to do some more cat proofing. Because if she can get out, a squirrel could get in!

eburg, the price of a perm these days is outrageous, and I get one every three months! I told my stylist that I need to have a punch card so I could get a free one every 5 years or so...She just laughed...

Puff, I gave up on coloring my hair when I retired. Ed was gray before he was 30! Hey, I get my hair cut tomorrow morning! And Kelsey gets hers cut tomorrow afternoon!

Lani, thanks for the Royal Alby updates! I want to hug one of those big fluffy babies!

baz, have you watching tennis today?  Watch out for that swollen angry middle finger! Glad to hear they are getting better!

The Ghost Fleet of Mallows Bay, located in Maryland, USA.
It is here that hundreds of ships were sunk, 230 alone by the United States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation, with more than 100 of the vessels being wooden steamships, part of a fleet built to cross the Atlantic during World War I. 
Because they were built of wood, most of these ships were already obsolete by the end of the war, and the U.S. Navy did not want them due to high storage costs.  They were sold to the Western Marine & Salvage Company and moved to the Potomac River in Virginia, and eventually towed to Mallows Bay in 1925. The company went bankrupt and the ships were burned where they lay, only their hulls remain.
Remnants of those ships and many others, some dating back to the late 1700s, also lie there, including an early 1900s four-masted schooner, and many other vessels from the 19th and early 20th centuries.  Article and photos Deirdre Lynn •

TSK-pretty flowers this Am; Yesterday's dandelion was a good365 and a haven for honeybees

HI CLYNN-  pretty peace waterfall this AM; I enlarged the P. Eagles snap shot and no 'egglet' .  :(
Talon snaps at salon are real 'keepers'. I think Aveda has a 'curling' shampoo...or at least reinforces the curl on already has.   Lumpy has an unusual shell
and really looks like some good protection.  Just love those Tiger Cubs
Ah those DN kids...!   Sure is 'spooky' for The Ghost Fleet of Mallows Bay. Good one for Halloween


LISA- those 'mums' are so pretty;  sharing same weather and I think there's some rain about 2AM-ish; Jeff's car 'Okay'?

HI KAREN

LANI-many tks for the Royal report, sweet 'Family Time' photo; will indeed miss lesley's vids

BAZ-congrats on the OT improvement

CLYNN  OMG!!!  Sophie out on the roof  :o.  That gal is adventuresome!

Baz, glad to hear your hand is healing everyday. Congrats to your boyfriend! Terrible destruction of homes and loss of life from the tornadoes.  :'(

Clynn, love your suggestion to your hairstylist!  ;D .... Sophie is definitely the adventure and she's able to get on the roof. YIKES! Cats are so smart. Too smart! Thank goodness, you discovered it and cat proofing is the next step..... There was good news at Hellgate. The new male is persistent, he came back and he brought her fish twice, as well as helping with nestoration. Prayers Louis stays away. I wouldn't be surprised if Louis primary mate has eggs in nest. Hopefully, he'll stay there....The story of the Ghost Fleet is interesting. I can't believe so many ships are buried there going back 200 years or more.

SED Lisa, I hope all is well with Jeff's car.

Lani, yes, Sophie is quite the adventure seeking cat! And Sam sits there so nicely and watches her!  When we had the roof of the deck re-done we thought it was cat-proofed! Ed still cannot figure out how she got out! He kept saying 'there is no way' he could see that she got out, I said 'well, she sure found a way'! I have Jason (deck guy) stopping by to double cat proof! Oh, I am so happy to hear that the new guy is still bringing fish to Iris, this is a new twist. I sure hope he wins her heart with all the fish!  Love the campground good night picture!

tsk, I am sure you have activities on your agenda today! That 'aboot' accent from Canada bleeds down into Duluth MN for sure! I distinctly remember it when we lived there! There's a reporter that had the accent and I thought for sure she was from 'up north'. Turns out she is from Canada! It is very distinct!

Phyl, I hope the shelters have a good day today. I think Facebook has really helped the shelters and rescue sites, I see a lot of animal stories and pictures that make me want to save them and help all!  Great 365, hard work for the fish!  Looks like we are in for a day of strong thunderstorms, possible hail and strong wind, high 80. Lovely.

E4E, I also still have the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook that Mom gave me at my shower in 1972! I bet it's the same one! I also received the Berry Crocker Cookbook from someone! Mom still has her little 1954 Betty Crocker Good & Easy Cook Book, she found one for me in an antique store (3rd  picture). I remember helping her make goodies from this one! It's spiral bound which was something new back then!

Whew...had a dog run out in front of my car on Penn ave just now. Missed it barely. Moved passed a titch, but stopped safely in the middle of the road and repeatedly tapped my brakes for those cars coming up behind me...saw owner to my right and dog returned safely home. If I was a dog owner I would NOT live on a busy County road or else take extra care to keep it contained. Geesh people.

Oddly, just a block before I saw a lab behind a fence and started imagining how awful it would be to hit a dog,
doo do doo do.

Furthermore, if that blue pickup truck hadn't just missed going through the red light and I therefore took a few extra seconds to go through the green light intersection a hit of the dog might have been inevitable.

I watched as a 9 year old playing cards with family in the living room my own dog get hit by a Bachman's Floral truck. Back in those days, my mother was not a good dog owner in retrospect. No curbs yet, no tying up dogs etc, she grew up on a farm.

Gigi, was saved and lived to be over 13 years old but blind in one eye.

One never forgets these things, ever.

Clynn, The new Male brought nesting material this morning. And Iris was doing her usual yadayadayada in his ear!!! LOL! And he left, hopefully for fish  ;D ... Sophie is small and slender enough to get through anything. She needs a little fattening. LOL! ... I gave my plaid covered Better Homes Cookbook to Aly. MIL gave that to me my first year in Kansas.

Phyl, Praying for all God's critters to be rescued and given safe haven. watching the fish reminds me that soon the Brooks Fall Brown Bears cam will be Live soon.  :-*

tsk - Wow, that is alot of rain in your gauge.  Enjoy your haircut.  (I know I am late)  :)  Pretty morning greeting.

karen - Thanks for the kind words on AM pic yesterday.

Lani - Had to wait 2.5 hrs.  It was not too bad.   Thanks for the updates on the Royals and TRR.

clynn - I agree, Lesley does have a nice calming voice.   Oh my, on Sophie climbing!  Interesting about The Ghost Fleet of Mallows Bay.  So, this is a new guy and not Louis in the pic with Iris? 

baz - Wowza, that is some bandage!

Phyl - Thanks, and love the solar light covers for the posts.  All of with Jeff's car.

E4E - Just went to a furniture store this morning, that is why I am late.  I bought a new entertainment center to hold the 55" tv, so I can move it from bedroom to living room.  Misty will be happy, come Thursday when it is delivered.   ;D

tig - Cute names for the kitties.

BAZ ... I'm sure you are getting good care from docs. Do speak to OT re: how much you can or should do. When I broke my wrist... first time I saw OT and showed how much I could and was doing, she asked me to slow down a bit! I was being too aggressive in my range of motion and repetitions.  :o
Best of luck on a good recovery.
SED all

Tig, yep, thanks. That's why I didn't cancel my appointment with the OT, as I mentioned before.  ;)  I want her input and instructions on usage and taping, as well as the recommended therapy and exercises. My 1st appt with my OT is tomorrow morning.

Hi Beakers, This is what I call my Teriyaki Meat Marinade for my Kansas family and friends. A Korean meat dish for special occasions.

Kun Koki-Barbecued Meat

4 lbs beef (rib, round, sirloin ,chuck, or stew.. I made this for 4 lb tenderloin, sirloin, for family and potluck dinners)
2 T. salad oil
1 cup shoyu (soy sauce or I used Kikkoman Soy Sauce, which my girls loved on their rice.... I did not use Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce)
1 tsp. Ajinomoto or any meat tenderizer of your choice
2 T. green onions, chopped fine
4 T. sugar
1 T. garlic, chopped fine
2 T. sesame seeds
1 tsp. black coarse pepper

For Tenderloin, sirloin, I scored with a knife small criss cross slices. Mixed all ingredients together pour over meat in a bowl or container, cover and let stand 1 hour or until your ready to grill.
Be sure to turn meat over in bowl or container, if you're going to leave it longer than an hour before grilling.
Serves 8

I made my beef jerky with inexpensive cut of beef, sliced thin, then marinade overnight, and placed in the dehydrator for a few hours till dry. House always smelled delicious during this day.
I taught tennis my summer group kids loved this as their end of the year tournament treat!

Happy Day, Beakers! :)


I walked 44 minutes today. My hip bursitis is trying to re-inflame  ::) :P and my bum knee is still a bum, but on we go.  ;) ;D

Today, at the Madrid Open, I watched some, or most, of several matches - the Alcaraz match, Medvedev match, Swiatek match, and Sinner match. Madison Keys v Ons Jabeur match started just a bit ago. It's 4-0 so far, for Jabeur, in the 1st set. I'm hanging out to watch my boyfriend play the last match of the day today (4th Round match - Round of 16).  :-*  I hope he plays well. If he wins his match today, he will have the day off before the next round (the Quarterfinals) on Thursday, then the mens semifinals will be on Friday. Any of his matches could be the last one he plays, since he is not expected to play beyond this year (but anything can happen!), and he hopes to play at least the French Open this year, but who knows how things will go. He already re-injured the hip that took him out for an extended surgery and rehab time, which made him miss some time on the court this year already, including the Australia Open, which he could not play. He wants to end his stellar career on the court, so I hope he can have some good matches, and feel good about his play near the end of his incredible career. His 20-month old cutey-pie son has been watching in the stands at the end of his last couple of matches. He and his wife and young son make a wonderful family, and he has his tennis training academy in his home of Mallorca, so he will stay busy with tennis even after he retires from competition. I don't want to see him go, and I will watch him play till his final retirement as much as possible. :-* :-* :-*

(((IRIS!!! + NEW MALE!!!))) LET IT BE LASTING LOVE!!!  :-*  :-* :-*  Iris and New Male sittin' in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. First came love, then came marriage, then came ospreylets in a baby carriage!!  ;D



Emy! LOLOL!!!  I totally got your joke!!!  ;) ;D ;D

TSK, thanks for the heads up on the PBS Nova show tomorrow about Osprey!  :)

Lisa, hope you're enjoying the new TVs! LOL, that hand bandage was the flrst flimsy little one. It was replaced a few days later by a much larger and more substantial one.  ;) ;)  But all the bandages are gone now. Yay! My 1st appt with my OT is tomorrow morning.

Lani, thanks for your recipe - it looks divine! You taught tennis! Wow! I know they loved your teriyaki beef jerky! I want some!  :)  I have always wanted to see a Crested Caracara in the wild! What a striking bird!!  :-*  I've never had the good fortune of seeing one yet in my times in the southeast or southwest US, or in Mexico. Those little sloths are so cute - look at those baby tummies!  :D I hope they grow in health and get to be released eventually. :-*

Clynn, I can't wait to hear what the deck roof guy decides is where Sophie made her escape! Is everyone looking up for where that spot might be? Maybe it's someplace "down below," instead of "up above."



Tennis match update - Ons Jabeur won the 1st set, but Madison Keys is up 3-2 in the second set right now.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

Hope Iris and the new guy will become a pair!   He sure  is trying! Fingers crossed!  Sorry Ba! Lol.
Clynn, how is the escape  hoke fix proceeding?
Lami, I used to make an appetizer called rumaki and marinated in a similar sauce to yours!   Have not had it for years but it was delicious.   Gave my red plaid Betty Crocker cookbook away years ago!   Still find some of  the recipes on line!

LISA  What will you do with the old entertainment center?  Ours is built into the wall so we can't go any bigger than we have - I think 55"

LANI   Cool cookbook.  Didn't know you were a tennis teacher   ;D  Beautiful Hawaiian blessing.  A nice grace before meals.

BAZI   Thanks for the tennis update.  I was not home most of today  :(   Yes as a tennis start you would hope you could go out on a good note.  I hope this happens for him.

KAREN   You had a busy day.  Was that with your helper doing the driving?

Two hours at the church garden - did some hosta splitting and pieces would be used elsewhere on the church campus.  The landscaper helped.  I'm beat!  He needs to bring some topsoil tomorrow to fill the holes left by the splitting.

Hi Eburg, Lani means "heaven"  ;D my full name is Leilani.. Lei meaning flower, together it means "heavenly flower." Thanks for asking.  ;D

Lisa, You're going to love having the Entertainment Center and 55" tv!  ;D ... Misty will be happy LOL! cats!  ;D

Tig, Kittens are darling colors with perfect names!

Baz, good luck with your appt tomorrow.  :) .. yes, I taught tennis, when our girls were in their teens, summers were spent traveling to tennis tournaments for Shannon, or my teaching children from ages 6-14. Great tennis updates. thanks.

Tsk, You had a busy day .. it always makes me nervous to split my plants. I need to split my purple cones, other perennials.  Mike and I watched the Secrets of the Octopuss, and we enjoyed it very much. Learned a lot.... I'll check out the Ospreys on Nova tomorrow.  ;D

Baz, Tsk, I taught tennis for 22 years as a volunteer mom when Shannon was 12. There wasn't a tennis program in Salina, so I started teaching children from age 6 to 14. My summers for 22 years were filled with teaching kids for 10 weeks, five mornings a week, built the program to 125 kids per summer. When we moved here I gave the program to the highschool Tennis coach and a Club Pro Coach to continue it... I've played tennis for 30 years. I was an Singles A player when I moved here. I stopped play 15 years ago. Too expensive to play here. Shannon was a great tennis player. She was ranked in the top 10 in Kansas from age 14 - 18 as Singles player. In Doubles she was ranked top 10 in state age 16 - 18. She played for her high school as well as state tournaments in her teen years. We spent years on the tennis courts. Mike was on the golf course... I think my highschool PE teachers would probably be amazed I became a tennis player. It was my goal to have children of all ages, whether they were shy and they thought they couldn't play a physical game. I wanted to teach children not to be afraid of playing tennis. That anyone of any ability can play for fun. I made it fun. So my kids stayed with me from ages 6 to 14 and it was a thrill for me to see them grow and progress in positive ways. For me the proudest moments are when I read the Salina Journal the kids I taught continued playing throughout high school years and in college. I bet you wish you hadn't asked. TMI  ;D

Karen, you had a busy day. Glad you had help with driving... Iris new beau was with her most of the day, nestorating, mating, getting fish for her. Louis has not been seen with her for two days now... talons crossed he stays with his primary mate. I'm hoping for another good day with the new male tomorrow.... it's been snowing off and on in Hellgate today.

Just got home3 hrs ago from taking Jim to So. Hills Med  Ctr. ER as per his PCP visit 4pm. The reason was fluid in lungs.
But the ER  doc and staff did tests with better equip. and determined the cause was CHF and that fluid
was seeping into his lungs.  Soooooo, my 'guy' is there in a 2nd floor room taking Lasix  for the next few days
having a 'love affair' with the toilet.  No rest for him...why no cath is beyond me.

Who cares right now.
I'm turning in for some 'shut-eye' and cuddle with Maggie.

Soooo...

Phyl, oh no, Jim in the hospital again! I hope they quickly find where the fluid in his lungs is coming from and get it taken care of. I would also think a cath would allow him to rest more easily... You and Maggie need some good rest today, hope you can get it!  Good 365!

Lani, love the meaning of your name, I think I mentioned years ago that the Noritake china I chose for my bridal registry is called Sweet Leilani, it is soft, pretty pink flowers with gray accents.  Love hearing your life story of your love for tennis, WOW! It's obvious you have always been a loving and passionate person, giving to others is a big part of your life!  And what we reveal to our friends is never TMI. Thanks for sharing your memories with us.  Wonderful news about Iris, this has never happened with any previous male suitor, I think it is a good sign! Love the cherished cookbook!

BL, what?  :o Good tune!

tsk, my hostas in my front garden are doing beautifully! I have a couple of new ones I need to get tucked in here and there. No splitting yet!

baz, you had a good day watching your boyfriend and even got a walk in! Jason, the deck guy, hasn't been here yet. He said some time this week, probably between other jobs. Meanwhile Sophie is not allowed out unless Ed or I are out there. Kelsey is no good at watching her!  ;D Her latest fun is playing in the water dish, putting her toys in and fishing them out. And occasionally turning the dish over in the process. The water bowl went in the bathtub last night, until I can get an un-tippable one!

Lisa, you have the same issue with your entertainment center that we did. I ended up putting ours on Facebook Market Place as FREE. Got rid of it quickly!  Like so many things, no one ever thought there would be a bigger tv!!

BL  Enjoyed the Clapton/Winwood piece.

LANI   Such a beautiful name.   :)  WOW  Something we didn't know about you.  What a wonderful experience teaching the kids and for all those years!!. (I bet you would have been a good school teacher too.  ;) ;) )  Shannon really got the hang of it and did well.  ;D    I used to play tennis regularly when I first moved to this area.  Had friends who played so I had to learn.  Great exercise.   I had some learning experience with pickleball when in Door county - Much easier on the endurance as a senior, but didn't get the hang of the scoring in that short time.  The interest in the sport is spreading rapidly.  Glad you got to see "Octopus" .The nice thing about hosta is that you just can't kill them  LOLOL.  Perennials are pretty hardy.

(((PHYL)))  (((JIM)))   I think the rationale on the catheter is that it is invasive and infections easy to acquire.  That was always a last resort for my Mom and Dad.  Both finally succumbing.

Lani - Thank you for the recipe.  I am going to pass it on to Bradley.  He would love it.  Very pretty name you have!  I hope Misty will be happy with this new arrangement.  ;D ;D

baz - I am enjoying the new TV's.  I was a lil frustrated at first, cause I do not like change, and getting use to the different apps was driving me insane.  Oh, so your 2nd bandage is like the one that clynn posted.....just joking!  ;D  Good luck at the OT's today!

karen - We have had some hot sunny days here too.  I normally do not turn on the AC this early, but the kitties looked like they were dying of heat exhaustion.  If I lived closer, I would drive you around.  I love to drive!  :D

tsk - I would like to see if maybe Jeff can remove the bookcase part from each side, and just keep the cabinet part where the TV sits.  We use that as a lil storage area for some holiday stuff.

Phyl - Prayers for Jim, and a speedy recovery.  Hope you got a lil rest.   

clynn - Love the pretty flowers in your last pic.  Jeff is like, now what do we do with all these older TV's.  I am for one that likes to bring things to Goodwill, so I can use that as a tax donation.  Thanks for the Hellgate update.  I hope Iris stays with her new man!

E4E, Lori, tig, kb, Puff and all - Morning  :)

{{{Phyl, Jim and Miss Maggie}}} oh, I'm sorry Jim is in the hospital. Sending prayers for quick healing and comfort for him. Mike didn't have a cath when he was in the hospital for fluid in his lungs. Drs at AZ Heart Institute wanted to limit the possibility of staph infections and building of more fluid in lungs or around heart if he lying constantly. But, then this is what they did for Mike five years ago.... please rest and take care and find comfort in our prayers coming your way.

Clynn, Have you thought about getting Sophie and her siblings a pet water fountain. They come with a filter and different sizes. I'm sure she'll love it, but she can't tip it over. Sadie has a large pet fountain in the kitchen, cats use that too. A rubber mat with an edge to prevent water spillage on floor is under Sadie's fountain. The cat's fountain sits on a pet potty liner, that has their food dishes too.... have you let Sophie show you where she gets on the roof? Maybe by watching her from inside the house, then you can see where you might be able to block the hole with a towel or something until Jason can repair it.... I love seeing Iris on her nest more often and hearing her chirping away. She does have a way of making your ears ring!!! LOL!

Tsk, I've been asked a few times, but for some reason I'm not interested in playing Pickle Ball. It looks like fun though, and less strenuous on the knees.  ;D   Sending prayers for your family, a lot going on with them too.

{{{Lori and Destini}}} Happy May Day, I love you buttery cake!  :-*

Tig, have a good day  :)

Lisa, Bradley could make a jar of the marinade, it keeps well in the frig and would be handy anytime.... good idea about keeping the cabinet and using it for storage... you might check with a Domestic Violence Shelter or Pet Rescue donation centers to dispose of the tv too. We take our items to them and they will provide a tax donation form too.

LISA  That's a very "cinnamony" cuppa'  ;D   I think Best Buy or Office Max will recycle those?  Around here we have a womens' shelters that accept those for the homes the women live in?  LANI had a good idea with pet rescue places as well.

LORI  A wonderful cheerful welcome to May  :)

LANI   One happy pup  :)  Today Tim's cousin Joe will meet with the oncologist and find out the results of his biopsy.... :-\ ???
You would get my vote as May Day queen as well  ;) ;)  Very pretty dress.

Gorgeous AM.  Did a 33 min walk and transplanted some daisies that were wondering under my row of privacy arborvitae.  Rest a bit and leave!

Off to see " The Music Man" at 1 PM today at a professional suburban theater.  It's one of Tim's favorites.. We go there often as Tim would no longer drive in the City to see theater.  We have enough good stuff in the burbs to keep us entertained  LOL  Did the City when younger..

Baz, good luck with your appt tomorrow.  :) .. yes, I taught tennis, when our girls were in their teens, summers were spent traveling to tennis tournaments for Shannon, or my teaching children from ages 6-14. Great tennis updates. thanks.

Baz, Tsk, I taught tennis for 22 years as a volunteer mom when Shannon was 12. There wasn't a tennis program in Salina, so I started teaching children from age 6 to 14. My summers for 22 years were filled with teaching kids for 10 weeks, five mornings a week, built the program to 125 kids per summer. When we moved here I gave the program to the highschool Tennis coach and a Club Pro Coach to continue it... I've played tennis for 30 years. I was an Singles A player when I moved here. I stopped play 15 years ago. Too expensive to play here. Shannon was a great tennis player. She was ranked in the top 10 in Kansas from age 14 - 18 as Singles player. In Doubles she was ranked top 10 in state age 16 - 18. She played for her high school as well as state tournaments in her teen years. We spent years on the tennis courts. Mike was on the golf course... I think my highschool PE teachers would probably be amazed I became a tennis player. It was my goal to have children of all ages, whether they were shy and they thought they couldn't play a physical game. I wanted to teach children not to be afraid of playing tennis. That anyone of any ability can play for fun. I made it fun. So my kids stayed with me from ages 6 to 14 and it was a thrill for me to see them grow and progress in positive ways. For me the proudest moments are when I read the Salina Journal the kids I taught continued playing throughout high school years and in college. I bet you wish you hadn't asked. TMI  ;D

Lani, oh no, NOT TMI!! CONGRATULATIONS  TO YOU!!! AND SHANNON! It warms my heart, you have no idea how much, to hear your story of initiating that tennis program for the kids in Salina, and growing it and keeping it going for so long!!  :-* :-*
 I'm so glad you were able to turn it over to others to carry it on after you moved away. I can only imagine how much it meant to you to see that so many of those kids continued to play into adulthood!!  :-* :-*  I was the tennis product of a beginning tennis program in my community, and finally with a number of courts being built in the community I grew up in, as my town embraced the sport of tennis in a big, big way and put money into public courts and tennis programs. I started playing when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Then, I also was lucky enough to join a swim and racquet club, and got some stellar training from 3 different pros there later on. One of them was the mom of one of my friends, whose family moved to my town when I was in Junior High School. She and I played a lot of tennis, and when they moved back to Oklahoma City, I would go out and visit and play tennis out there. Two other men teaching pros remain memorable for me, one of whom was from Australia and had been friends of, and trained at the same facility withs, Yvonne Goolagong, one of my early women tennis idols! He went on to coach a major university tennis team after a couple of years at that club. My very first lessons were from a man whose family lived across the street from my family, and he had played professionally in his younger years. I basically lived on the courts in the summer, and did what I could with a couple of other friends to clear snow and rain from the outside courts and dry them in the winter so we could play! At least till our hands got numb from the cold! LOL. I did not have access to the pricey private indoor courts to use them in the winter. You made such a positive impact in the lives of all your tennis kids!!  :-* :-* 


(((IRIS))) I hope Iris and her New Man keep the fire alive!! :-* :-*

((Phyl)) ((Jim)) I'm posting as I read, and hope I see an update as I go along, or maybe after you have visitited Jim today and get back home again. Maybe they want Jim to get up some, so get up to use the bathroom instead of a catheter... just a guess. And to avoid the common acquired (but totally avoidable!) hospital infection from the use of catherters, as TSK mentioned. I hate to hear of his heart failure dx, and hope the Lasix has done its work so that he is more comfortable soon. Glad to know he's getting the additional testing needed, and hope he won't need to stay at the hospital too long. Prayers for comfort and improvement.

Clynn, LOL on Sophie and her water toys!  :-*  You might need to get her a "toy" aquarium after the deck is kitty-proofed, if the enclosed deck has a waterproof floor for spills!!  ;D

Karen, you did a lot! You doing any of that driving for your errands? Hope your ENT appt goes well!  UPDATE: Oh, I see your follow-on post about Helper A driving for your errands.  :)

TSK, that's a lot of work!! But I know that's how you roll.  ;) :D I know your garden areas must be so nice to work in and enjoy being around!  :)

Lani, I love those pictures of you as the May Day Queen! And that was such a gorgeous dress!!


I had my 1st appt today with the OT for my fingers/hand. She is great!! I got lots of excellent evaluation and input, with some directions for an inclusive program of heat - they had a killer cool heat machine I had never used before that I have decided will heal whatever ails you! LOL -and manual lymphatic drainage/massage, various mobility exercises, instructions on usage and rest, wrap and support stuff. My next appt with her will be next Tuesday, and then another the following Tuesday, if needed. I was very impressed with her. And she also seems like such a calm and kind person... always a plus.


Take care, All.  :)

BAZI   Thanks for that backround in tennis for you too.  I remember Yvonne Goolagong.  Excellent OT report.  Rapport is so important!!  You used a modality term I've never heard of  LOL  " cold and heat machine".  Someone should have invented that a long time ago! "Manual lymphatic  drainage" - another procedure not around when I was practicing.  Sounds like you are on the right track and she sees you as a good patient who does not need more than a once a week check.  :-*

KB  Of course I have to say - I wonder how they ever planted all those tulip bulbs and that they must not have squirrels in that neighborhood  LOL  There wouldn't be one tulip standing if they did  ::)   Just stunning.

Music Man - what fun and full of energy.  Can't go wrong with theater in the round.  Stopped at a "family" type restaurant on the way home.  Bacon burger for me and regular cheeseburger for Tim.

Happy May!

Doing a little catching up in the Beak  :-[

Tsk- Hope you enjoyed getting your hair cut! Nothing wrong with getting your hair cut whenever you feel you need it. ;) :)
I just saw that you said you are watching American Idol!  We have been watching too!!  Unfortunately some of my favorites are gone now, so then, I try and choose another fav, but Idol has had a fantastic group this year - so many were so wonderful and talented, that it is hard to see any of them leave.

Clynn- Yes! That is the same Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook I have that was given to me as a bridal shower gift from my Mom! I will always keep and treasure it! 

Tig- Such darling names that your friends gave their two new kitties! :)  I bet they are so cute!

Lani- I always love pictures of the darling Sloths and thank you for update!      Your meat marinade recipe sounds fantastic, and I will come back to it and copy it down!            I always keep Kikkoman soy sauce in my fridge, as we love it on white steamed rice and I use it for my marinade sauce too:     Equal parts:  Kikkoman Soy Sauce, White wine, Orange Juice;  then you can add any of your favorite spices depending if its for:  Beef, Chicken, Pork.     Depending on how much meat I am marinading; my equal parts of those 3 main items are either a 1/2 C or 1 C of each.

Lani- Just read about your tennis days;  I did not know you did all of that!!!!  How special for you to volunteer your time to all those children to teach tennis and to give such invaluable time to each and every one of those precious children!!! :-*

I bet your beef jerky was to die for!!!! ;D ;D

LisaG-  I hope Misty adapts to your new Tv!  It might take a little time  :)

Baz- Good for you in how well you take care of yourself with walking and taking care of your healing hand. Thumbs up for you!!!

Eburg- Glad you asked Lani about her name and I see that she answered! ;D

Phyl- How is Jim today?  Hope all goes well for him and that he feels better soon.

Baz, Thank you for sharing your tennis story too. I can feel your excitement through your words. I remember Yvonne Goolagong  ;D, what a great group of tennis players in the 70-80's and beyond. Chris Evert was my idol too. I still have my first Chris Evert racket followed by the mid-size Evert racket. I remember a Tennis Coach tried to break my habit of playing a two-handed backhand. But, it was a natural for me and I couldn't stop the habit. Yes, I enjoyed teaching children, watching them play and grow every summer at a park that allowed me to use two courts every summer weekday. I didn't charge it was for fun. Sitting on the tennis court bench with these kids, I was like a fly on a wall to them. They felt comfortable to say what they wanted and I was allowed to be in their world and share in their thoughts. What happened on the courts stayed on the courts. LOL! The kids trusted me and I them  :-*.... There was only a couple of times in those 22 years that I called a parent and that was out of concern for a child's welfare and keeping their privacy in mind. I can still see the child and I pray life has been good for him..... I have my May Day Dress and Wedding Dress stored nicely in boxes.  ;D... So glad you had a great evaluation and appt....  That heat machine sounds like it will do the job! prayers for continued healing and comfort.

Kb, gorgeous tulips! Such vibrant colors. I just read Tsk's post, I didn't think about squirrels. LOL!

Eagles, I keep a bottle of Kikkoman in the refrig too! You have a yummy handy recipe too! Thanks for sharing.

Karen, good idea about going to BL's for Mahi Mahi steaks and Lori's cheesecake!  8) ... our temps are still in the low 70's.

Tig, beautiful vibrant pink tulips.  :-*

Good Morning Everyone. Happy Thursday.

Currently: 62F clear with a   High  86F sunny,  Low 62F


Arrived to hospital  between 3:30 pm and just before 4pm. Jim was asleep and on some 'sort of O2'. His clothes tossed on a chair--I hung his clothes and tidied his tray table. They keep his door closed as opposed to others who had their's open.  Pretty clear to see they wanted him to have P &Q and rest. 
He looked much more rested and not so much coughing or 'train wreck' noise.  His RN came in and set up IV for his antibiotics as just a touch of  in his lungs w/ NS solution to flush his IV line.
As some here have said, " No cath." for infection.  ;)
Jim told me he heard rumor that he might be released tomorrow---'What?" I said. I think he should stay another day. And, that may very well be.  ;)
The trash dumpster had been left out and truth known I just didn't want to bother---that 'thing' is as big as I ma and a booger to deal with ---let me tell you!  I
wanted to get it inside before Jim got home so he'd not deal with it.

 On lighter note:   Never was there a cuppa Joe my  Dad didn't like  without this stuff---Cremora.     I use  Kikkoman also.     


   Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family .  'Little Gray' and 'Little One' ...All abandoned, abused , lost cats ... stray, unloved, homeless stray and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

GOOD MORNING

BL  WOW  What a whopper.  You must be on a charter?  I love mahi-mahi  ;D

TIG  Do you find your tulips multiply on their own like daffodils? 

LANI   Actually the female lead, Marion,  in her credits she has played NY and London's East End.  She had a very strong operettic voice that Tim and I both felt was "too much" for this part gorgeous as it was.  Many of this huge cast had TV roles as well.   Such a good teacher and friend you were to those kids.  It's no wonder that you have beautiful girls of yoru own  :-*    What a funny good night sleep over  LOL

PHYL  Throwback Thurs.  I do remember Cremora  :)   Thanks for Amy's blog as always.  Falcons getting busy now.  George Washington and the jars of cherries  ;D

Good Morning Beakers! 
Phyl, thanks for the update on Jim and for taking the time for posting interesting links for us!  Hopefully you are now resting and getting a little rest! You were posting at 3 am!  Wow!

Temps are currently 65 with 95 percent humidity!  Going to 91 later today with an average high for this date of 84!   A tad high!  You can almost squeeze the air and get wet!  No rain in the forecast!

Think my finches have fledged but not sure! Occasionally see a head in the back but no flying around or looking in the house!  Will wait for a second clutch!

Hummingbird  feeder is out but no sightings!  May have been late hanging it!

Help comes an hour late today. And I have two things to do besides the ent! Cpap machine broke when I got to bed last night!  Said major air leak in humidifier tube!  No air coming out anywhere so have to get that fixed!  Also need to pick up some plants this afternoon so I  can get the yard man to plant them tomorrow!  Need a few more  liriopes, a few roses and a Mandevilla!   May call the garden center and have them ready for pickup!
Bbl

Phyl, sounds like Jim is getting good care, I agree with you about staying another day, so both of you can get a little more rest. I will be reading your 'Miscellany of Interest' throughout the day! Curious about the Old Bras article! Amy's Blog, great as usual! Warms my heart to see how good the Decorah North and Trempealeau kids are doing! I remember Cremora! I have had Coffee Mate Hazelnut in my coffee for years! And Years! Have tried other flavors but keep going back.  ;D

Lani, so you are a two-handed back-hander!  I was looking up the 10 Best Women Tennis players, 4 of them were two-handed back-handers (including your Idol!), and of course you know, the number 1 was Serena Williams who was also a two-handed back-hander!  So you were in good company! Kudos to you for being a good friend to the kids you were teaching, you probably helped them more than you know... Your May Day picture...you look like a Princess!  Love it!

E4E, you should have seen Sophie yesterday! Ed attached a furry mouse to a long thin strip of leather, she had the mouse in her mouth and was running all over the house and up/down the stairs. Sam was chasing a knot at the end of the leather, all over the house. It was so funny! It went on for several minutes!

BL, a 29 pounder, WOW! That had to be quite a job, bringing that in! Several meals worth!  Yum!

karen, you have a busy day planned!

kb, love the tulip house!

It's the first day of the Tulip Festival in Pella, Iowa!

Lani - Love the pup from yesterday with the Daisy wreath.

kb - Love the tulip house!

E4E - Your marinade sounds good, too!   

BrokenLug - Nice catch!

karen - We were as hot as you yesterday.  Think today is going to be the same, then a cool down.

tig - Pretty tulips  :)

Phyl - Jim sounds like he is in good hands.

clynn - Love the flowers in the colored bottles.  Aww, love the pic of Iris & new guy.  Congrats to the Norwich Cathedral falcons on their hatches.

Hmm, I caught this very long white thing out of the corner of my eye outside my front window..toilet paper?, white long tailed bird?

Then Mrs. Robin returned to my yard hoisting that long "rope"...she struggled mightily with it wrapping it around her beak several times, flying off, returning, etc. .with Daddy in my maple tree either encouraging her or discouraging her?

Both are now in my tree with rope like thingy laying across my driveway....this could take awhile, LOL

BAZI   Thanks for that backround in tennis for you too.  I remember Yvonne Goolagong.  Excellent OT report.  Rapport is so important!!  You used a modality term I've never heard of  LOL  " cold and heat machine".  Someone should have invented that a long time ago! "Manual lymphatic  drainage" - another procedure not around when I was practicing.  Sounds like you are on the right track and she sees you as a good patient who does not need more than a once a week check.  :-*

 

TSK, oops! It was not a cold and heat machine! LOL, that would be nice, though! I said it was a cool heat machine! Meaning, it was an amazingly wonderful heat machine - not cool in temperature. LOLOL!!  ;D

KAREN   My oriole feeder has had no visitors.  However my hummer feeder went up on April 30th and Tim saw a hummer feeding on May 1st!  The syrup is half gone already  LOL  Sounds like a productive day for you.  We went this cloudy AM and got Tim's "veggies " to plant for this year.  Went faster as I made him make a list  LOLOL

CLYNN  One of Lulu's favorite games is chasing the mouse at the end of a wire attached to the stick in the "operator" hand  LOL  She will carry that mouse around the house with the stick banging into everything.  She just this minute dragged it in to me at the PC. ::)  We have to hide it at night or else... ::)     I wouldn't be able to stop taking pics at the tulip festival.   So happy for Iris!!  Agree with LANI about the pic of Iris and her new mate.  The Nova last night on osprey was very good.  Didn't realize that mated pairs who return separately do not come for the partner but for the nest!!!

KB   That is funny!!  Let us know if you see the twine hanging from a nest somewhere  LOLOL

LANI   Those albie chicks look like huge cotton balls .  I would love to feel one.  Agree with you about the Iris pic.

BAZI   Then I will just have to invent one of those heat/cool machines  LOL  ;D

Tim's cousin ( late 50's) has a stage 3 astrocytoma partially removed from his brain.  Beginning May 20 he will begin cancer tx daily for 45 consecutive days.  It will be a chemo pill and radiation at a cancer center 35 minutes away from his Texas home.  Thank you for your prayers.

BAZI   Then I will just have to invent one of those heat/cool machines  LOL  ;D

Tim's cousin ( late 50's) has a stage 3 astrocytoma partially removed from his brain.  Beginning May 20 he will begin cancer tx daily for 45 consecutive days.  It will be a chemo pill and radiation at a cancer center 35 minutes away from his Texas home.  Thank you for your prayers.

TSK, get on that invention - it will make you a rich woman!!  ;) :D  Oh gosh, you heard back on Tim's cousin, Joe.  I'm glad the treatment center is not far away. Prayers for his treatment and comfort, and for Tim and all the family. Hugs. And more hugs.

Have a good day, Beakers!  :)

I walked about a half hour this morning. My time is an estimate because I stopped a couple of times to assist a Mother Goose and her 3 very small goslings. They looked to be only a very few days old. There was no Dad Goose!  :'( :(  who would normally be walking behind Mom and their little ones, guarding and giving directions all along. She looked like she wanted to cross the major traffic road close to my home!! And I was trying to discourage her from across that busy street that I had just had a time crosssing myself. She turned to continue leading her 3 little ones up the side of the road she was on, and then she decided to cross the smaller road I live on, but the little ones couldn't jump up the curb on the other side of the road to the sidewalk there. She stopped on the sidewalk to talk to her babies about needing to hop up onto the sidewalk with her, but they couldn't hop that high, sweet things, and they were getting very close to a large street drain, looking for a different way alongside the curb to get to their Mom. So I crossed the busy big road back to her side of the street and calmly approached them, and gave each of the 3 little goslings a tushy boost up the curb onto the sidewalk next to their Mother Goose.  :-*  Mother Goose talked to me just a bit, but wasn't aggressive so I only quietly and calmly told her "Hi Mom, it's ok. Here are your babies." I think she saw I was helping, so she just watched me. I walked away as soon as I boosted the 3 babies up the curb to the sidewalk, and then I watched from a distance, and she started leading them along. Whew. After I crossed back to the other side of the busy street a 2nd time (I was heading up to the woods to the kayak launch in the Cypress woods/swamp today), I saw she had turned back around towards the road, with babies scurrying behind, and was now walking up the side of the very busy road, and looking to cross!! !! Oh no... She was getting close to a group of workers who were spreading pine straw at the complex next door to mine. One of the workers saw me trying to warn the oncoming traffic and signal them to slow down because Mom was getting so close to the road! No time to wait at that point, so I started waving from the edge of the road at the cars in both directions, as I held out my hands in stop position. Then as I saw a car slowing in each direction, I stepped out into the roadway for a full traffic stop. Then the worker on the other side of the street, who saw me, walked to get behind Mother Goose and her 3 babies, and helped herd them more quickly across the street in the gap between the traffic that was stopped in both directions. They made it! Mom Goose then headed up the sidewalk toward a retention pond nearby, her 3 babies behind, scurrying.  :-* :-*  I watched for a long time, till she turned into the grassy area away from the road, near that pond, and then I came back across that busy road, again! -LOL - and took my walk instead on a shorter path through my own immediate neighborhood. So my walk was not uninterrupted, since I stopped several times. It's hard for a person to cross that road at certain times of day. I usually have to wait a while till there is enough of a break in that 45 mph heavy traffic, which is often speeding faster, to get across myself. Mother Goose and her 3 babies would've needed a full stoplight with a traffic cop on duty to do it! So I guess, all in all, my actual total walking time turned out to be maybe 30 minutes, maybe a little less.

Off to run to the grocery store for a few items, and then watch some more tennis, currently recording on my DVR.

Take care, All.  :)  :-*

He is the one who plays Santa in his community and to whom I sent a pkg. of teddy bears this past Christmas for him to add to the hundreds he handed out to the kids in the hospital, kids in need at several locations, and the remainder to first responders to have on hand.

Well Baz, tennis went my way on the mens' side, but not the womens'. Oh well. Next time.

Great news on the osprey population Lani.  I don't keep that tight of a watch on her - Timewise who did what when - who does it belong to?

KB  Another cute/good-to-know tale of the goose mother and her little ones.  Even cuter is to hear that the fellow worker helped and cared to help.  And, that robin's piece of string looked to be over a yard.  Maybe they're building a 2-level?

Beat me tsk mostly because I didn't hang my feeders out until yesterday.  Needed some little pole hooks to extend their placement.  There's only one tree (locust) that's close enough sitting on the patio to watch.  Other trees outline the side and back of the property.  But I did buy a new chickadee/wren house to hang off the garage eave.  I know there are Chicks always in my yard so I had to replace the broken down old one.  Chickadees come first and wren will move in if chicks fledge so wrens can have their own brood later.  Just in case, I have a spare plastic house around the corner of the garage in case the wrens mate early.

I'm sounding only slightly feeble - I made a list of the seeds I already have, but then started to try to remember what they were.  Remember is a 4-letter word.   :o  I will be going back soon, seeds sell out quickly, some slots were already slim pickings.  List will be in my purse until I buy rest.  And though I didn't intend to . . .yes, I bought some plants.  I swear that store is one of my favorite EVIL stores.  Always gets on to my cc statement.

So sorry to hear about Tim's cousin.  Along with hugs - our special group here are also doing what we can with prayers.

tsk Forgot to mention it before - You mentioned earlier that the predicted rain never it made it this afternoon.   It did by me.  About 2 o'clock it poured and thundered for about a half hour.  Didn't get outside to see what was in the gauge.  I forgot to mention my weather, the noise just reminded me.  But then I'd have to add the stuff coming down right now.  Thunder with this time also.  Good for the grass.  Got TruGreened the end of last week; and, also had a fellow helping repair my sump pump system to throw some grass seed/dirt on the lawn as overseed.  Water will come in handy.  I'll let you know the total tomorrow.  Uppps - just checked in with the Wunderground radar and it actually looks like you're going to get it this time.  Enjoy!

Sleep tight!

Good night!

Iris having a late night snack. New Guy brought 4 meals to her today. She took it to owl pole to eat. NG didn't brood egg, but has stood and protected nest while Iris was at the pole eating. This egg has to be Louis's... Louis hasn't been seen at nest for two or three days. His primary mate Star probably is brooding an egg or two by now. So he's staying near home.

BL  WOW  What a whopper.  You must be on a charter?  I love mahi-mahi  ;D

.. Yesterdays fishing report: we caught 4 Yellowfin Tuna in the 90 to 120 lbs range, 2 Mahi-mahi and a huge Wahoo .. headed to the marina now ..

Actually tsk we are four guys fishing off of my friend Kirk's (Captain Kirk) 24 ft Grady White offshore boat called Patty's Pride. Kirk's wife.

We head out from Teach's Lair Marina before sunrise (calm water) through the very tricky Hatteras Inlet on fair weather days only. We're usually back at the dock by 2-4 pm.

The west edge of the Gulf Stream is "only" about 12 to 20 miles out.
You quickly go from the relatively cool shallow green inshore water of the Labrador Current on the continental shelf to the deep warm blue water of the Gulf Stream and the waters depth on the depth finder drops off like a rock. (hundreds of feet to thousands of feet)

At the convergence of the Green and Blue water linear "weed lines" form sometimes for miles maybe 20 to 50 feet wide.
See pic below taken off FL coast as an example.
Those lines or rafts of naturally occurring flodsam (seaweed and such) 'hold' the bait fish under them.
You guessed it that's were the big boys lurk.

We troll along the edges of these weed lines with 8 poles and lines out.
Where the Sea Gulls are dive bombing the water, that's where the schools of bait fish are with the big guys right below.   

We seldom need to use a fish finder as we just follow the gulls by sight.
Once you get on the tuna, mahi, wahoo's etc you can fill all of the boats coolers very quickly.

We call it Tuna mayhem.
If one pole gets "hit" then usually multiple poles get hit all at once.
Then it's game on and the Tuna mayhem commences .. all hands on deck .. this is a precarious and potentially dangerous time. All items on deck must be carefully secured or stowed. Your not watching where your feet are, you are watching the line and the fish on the end of it. Unused poles, lines, big hooks and gaffs must be secured for safety while you play the fish with a fighting lap belt on.       

The weather conditions for offshore fishing have been absolutely stellar. Calm seas, light wind and perfect temps.
Yesterday 05/02/24 we caught 4 Yellowfin Tuna in the 90 to 120 lbs range, 2 Mahi-mahi and a huge Wahoo.
Captain Kirk has a NC commercial fishing license so we can sell the ones we don't keep for good $$$ at the dock.
Kirk also has a high end food vacuum sealer for the coolers full of steaks we do bring home.
Some years we catch enough fish to cover the cost of the entire one week trip.
Gas for the truck from/to NJ, house rental, bait, ice and the big one fuel for the boat.
One year I came home with more money than I left with, a huge Igloo cooler full of fish steaks all after having a total blast the whole darn time.

The pic below is of another bull Dolphin fish I caught many many moons ago in the same location.
I don't know the exact weight of it or it's length, but I'm 6' 3" and the nose of it is on the deck so we figured solidly over 60".
One arm is holding onto the hard Bimini top and it was pretty hard to hold up the fish with the other arm so we figured it was around 50 lbs.
It was so big we had to cut it in half to fit it in the cooler. Unfortunately the photog (Patty) didn't get the whole fish in the pic but the seas were rough out that day and the boat was really rocking n rolling.

Good Morning Everyone. T.G.I.F.  !

Currently: 70F light rain, High  76F heavy rain   Low 66F

If yesterday was Thursday  ;D,  usual Thursday 'char' plus cleaned Jim's Bath R. carpet. I was really busy so just skimmed postings. Thanks for nests updates , local weather and all. {{{}}}
And I thought humans had screwed up relationships---Iris, Louis and New Guy  ::)---I hope NG is just biding his time? but, for 'what' I don't think the situ will get any 'better'.

Jim called me late yesterday AM   with some bad news. Seems his lungs aren't clearing the fluid. And, incumbent on arrival of the doc who does all  this, Jim had his lungs pumped to clear the fluid. Jim said that after the procedure a full liter and then some was extracted. When the procedure was complete Jim said he
could feel his lung move back into 'place'.  In the beginning, Dr. Crouse (PCP) sent Jim to ER for that very issue.   Have yet to hear if his lungs  are doing well enough for him to come home. I;'ll call later this AM.  Had to chuckle when he said he missed Maggie...that's 'Okay'.                             


   Prayers for: Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people. Laken Riley, all those like her and family .  'Little Gray' and 'Little One' ...All abandoned, abused , lost cats ... stray, unloved, homeless stray and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . The Beakroom and Cheers.

PHYL   Well Jim is in the right place.  Good that he could feel the improvement once the procedure was done.. (((Jim/PHYL)))  Tim would miss Lulu first as well.   ::)   Amazing close up photography 365   Beautiful flyway this AM

Phyl, praying that the doctors can take good care of Jim and fix him up so he can come home to you and Maggie!  And hope you are getting some rest, sounds like you are being busy the char! I have been busy too, spring cleaning. Don't be too busy though! I'm glad you have Maggie there to help you relax now and then... A French wooly worm in the 365! Peaceful Flyway in the early dawn... 42 here, high 72 today. Love all the pictures, especially the foggy pics of the North Nest! I am always amazed at the GSB nest box just stuck there on the side of the bluffs! Wow, 4 babies at the Baltimore nest! That will be a noisy one!

BL, wow, the Tuna Mayhem sounds like an adventure!  How do you haul in a 120 lb tuna? Does it take all of you?

Lani, I am so happy about Iris and NG! He is the one! Louis never brought her 4 meals in one day, he rarely even brought her one! They are speculating on their FB page that NG was maybe trying to kick Louis' egg out of the nest. But they are not sure. They were remembering when Stanley kicked an egg (or eggs) out of the nest one year when he was a bit late returning. Iris went on to lay 3 more eggs and all was well! That video of the three little boys is so cute! The guilty look on their faces is precious. I thought the mother was a bit too stern though.

E4E, the weighted water dish came last night, I don't think Sophie will be able to tip this one!

baz, oh how I would love to see a video of you stopping traffic for the goose family!  It will soon be time for goose families to be traveling around here. We often have to stop and let big groups of 2 or 3 families crossing the road with youngsters!  Personally, I love watching their butts wiggle as they walk slowly across the road oblivious to the traffic jam they are causing!

tsk, prayers that all goes well for Tim's cousin. I am picturing Tim sitting in a lounge chair outside smoking a cigar! With a nice tall glass of lemonade!

Lisa, sounds like you have some really good weather coming up! I have 4 more hostas to plant, I need to get that done today while the ground is soft from all the rain! What do you have planned for your flower bed this year?

Hellgate Ospreys - NG with a whopper, looks towards Iris ~ his beloved, then begins his meal at Owl Pole, hopefully he shares with her like she expects him too! ❤   And he did!

Lani You answered my question about Iris.  Louis probably result of her egg.  Do we have a osprey DNA expert on staff/available?     ::)

Phyl  I'm not sure you understand the mystery of the Musical Ear Syndrome; I don't think I know all the facts.  Just as I lost Tony I went to my ENT with that problem.  My two biggest "sounds" were music, instrumental only, no words (Christmas music, sports rah rah songs, oldie but goodies), and then there were sounds of water running, furnace blowing air, outdoor things happening.  When someone was/is visiting I always ask if they hear . . .  They don't.  ENT recommended local specialist appt who gave it the name.  She didn't have solution.  Only told me it can be the traumatic loss and quiet and it usually goes away.  No, it didn't.  But I did know there was the other term Auditory Pareidolic reaction and read up a whole lot since then.

tsk That fishing trip BG and crew had sounds like something Tim and you might enjoy.  I'd look into it.  Just the cruising on the meeting of the water is interesting to see.  Did it once up north by Canada.

E4E - I saved your marinade recipe too.  I sounds like it would be good on chicken. 

Lani - Love the guilty looks!  If NG doesn't mind that egg belongs to someone else, and stays with Iris...he is a good guy in my eyes!

BrokenLug - Sounds like you are having a great fishing trip.  :)

Phyl - Wow, that was alot of fluid on Jim's lungs.  I hope he is feeling better, and can come home soon.  Thanks for the 365, links and pics. 

tsk - Quite a bit of rain for you.  LOL, Tim would miss Lulu first.

BL, thank you for a great fishing story. I hope Lilbro will stop by and read it. Wahoo is a mild sweet tasting fish. Yummy! Your freezer will be well stocked. Great pics!

Phyl, Good to hear Jim's lungs are clearing of fluid. God bless him, doctor and staff, he's right where he should be. Love your posts, beautiful Fly away morning, Geese Family, and nest pics updates from your favorite cams....interesting article on Auditory pareidolia and inner monologue...  keeping Jim, you and Miss Maggie in my prayers.

Tsk, NG brought a fish for Iris this morning, she wasn't hungry so off he went. Everyone at Hellgate and Iris fans/followers are praying that Iris will no longer be alone.  :-* ... I could hear the three boys mama holding back. She struck just the right tone, because she knew her farming husband would just get a good laugh, as you can tell with his post about the situation. She resolved the issue and in the end you could hear her say "next time use paper" and he says respectfully  "yes ma'am"  :-* ... but his two siblings. LOL! Looks like he's the leader, this family will be having years of adventures. Especially since she has 4 boys to raise, and I'm including the boys father!!!  LOLOLOL!!   ;D

Clynn, NG brought another fish to Iris and she's having breakfast on the owl pole right now. He's not brooding, but he's guarding the egg/nest. OMG! He just kicked the egg out after bring a branch. 10:46am time. I keep trying to go back and take a snip  :'( ... looks like NG can count days.  :-\

Lisa, I agree with you about NG. She's sitting on her nest with NG and softly chirping to him. And he's proudly guarding her/nest. She deserves this after the lonely summers she's had to endure, losing her eggs to the ravens/crows because she had to fish for food to survive too.
Puff, Louis started mating with Iris three weeks ago. And the NG persistently this past week... so..  ???... thank you for sharing your experiences.

5/3 Good Morning, Hellgate #CHOWS! For those who have been following #HellgateOspey for 5 years or more, you know how amazing it was to see Iris incubating the egg with a mate standing by. We've waited a long time.
We believe we can say #ProjectNewMate was a success.

Iris accepts some Fish from her new beloved provider who is trying so hard....she took it to Owl Pole where she is currently devouring it! ❤ posted by Jennie Powell

Lani and all who posted - Such great news about the potential for Iris! Thanks for letting us know.

BL - what a great fishing trip and past pic as well.

Reminds me as an early 20 something I flew to San Diego, California for a visit with my Dad...and, he decided it would be "fun" for us to charter a fishing boat out of SD to catch tuna somewhere off of Baja California.
Well, i was the only female on the boat and that night I was in a bunk bed?  but Dad was up all night as we headed into a ferocious storm. I do believe there was real concern if we'd make it.

Well next day or so, I was so sick to my stomach from the waves, I took so much dramamine I literally dozed in a half conscious state throughout the ordeal. Men caught lots of tuna. Myself? never took a tuna charter trip again, LOL

Been busy outside in my yard/gardens on days it's not raining....lots of rain here so far and much more to come.

Proud so far of my emerald green grass growing in nicely.


Yah, yah!...Dennis and Vi's phone just got hooked up....only took them 2 weeks since their next door's house explosion. Dang... in the interim she has been walking down to my house...she's over 87 yrs old.
Great news for them.

Bounce
Camper just assisted me with a few tasks out front. Afterward, we were sitting on the planter brick wall, resting, when a lady came by walking her Dogue de Bordeaux, on the "proper" side of the walk (on the city grass, instead of ours). We thanked her, and she said there are some folks below the hill that walk up here and let their dogs off leash. Which is probably why I had to dodge several large piles when I was mowing the other day. GRR.

KB... Hugs to you and Vi and Dennis. We did a pretty good job of ridding the planter box of the garlic chives, eventually. But I just discovered a good patch of it in the grass below the box. I guess I'll need to get at it tomorrow.

KB   Good news for Vi and Dennis.  Kind of dangerous to be without a phone.  Funny story about the charter.  Barb and I went on one with Tom and Tim eons ago out about 10 miles or so out on Lake Michigan from one of the Chicago harbors.  We both were puking over the side after a bit and laid down for the rest of the trip.  Also then took a while to get land legs.  Never again for me. ::) :P

They mated and their relationship is stronger. The cam did show Iris looking down at her egg on the ground. She should lay another egg late today or tomorrow.

That this information should have been shated with me when .i furst got the machine!   Well, I fe,t better!   Lol!  Now to see how this works tonight!  Btw Lani he says they have beeb having a lir if orobkems with tge resmed 11.  Also, medicare and insurance have paid for mine and .i noticed you said Mike bought one.

BL  Thanks for that great description of that fishing excursion. 
You answered a question I was going to ask about what do you do with the fish?     

How long does it take to land one of those tuna?

Depends on it's size and it's desire not to be dinner.   ;)
Seriously the really big tuna can take up to an hour from hooked to on deck on a lap belt.

This trip can really kick the stuff out of you as the fish get younger.   ;D
 
Pole tip and line always set up high and tight -  set hook huge pole bend - fish on - pole from boat into waist belt - pole tip lowered a bit - let it run - reel screaming out line - back kicks in pulling up on the rod reeling like you were scrambling eggs - lather rinse repeat for one hour.

Very quickly you realize you've firmly planted your feet on the aft deck of a 24' Grady White.   8)

Your feet, legs, spine, and hopefully brain & inner ear are standing on a pitching, bobbing, rolling piece of plywood in the middle of the ocean with a fish that can pull you out of it.

What the _ am I doing out here.   

At 1st your adrenaline of course courses with the 1st offshore fish on _ then your brain, arms, legs and whole body start to really kick in.

Your forearms seriously start talking to you at the 20 minute mark.

The wake up time, being out in even the most calm kind weather environment , being in a small craft will kick the ..

It's grueling but someone has to do it.   ;D

Us well seasoned and oiled Squids are going to go for go for a walk about on the warm sand of a OBX beach on a Friday night have a few pints and stogies.   :) 

And do it all over again tomorrow because the forecast here just called for severe catching.   8)

{{{Kb}}} oh my what a fishing trip! Glad to hear {{{Dennis and Vi's}}} phone is connected! What an ordeal it's been for them... glad your grass is growing nicely.  ;D

Tig,  ;D

Tsk, I've went back and looked at NG digging at the nest bowl, and he did it on purpose. Others have said the same thing in the chat room. He understands what's going on and knew it wasn't his... and now he's keeping close to Iris and bringing her fish. So far I haven't seen her having to do her own fishing for the past two or three days. Louis has not been to the nest again.

SED Karen, Mike bought his own mask, it was going to take too long to get a new one through Medicare. He doesn't like to deal with Medicare or the Home Care Company that he bought his first cpap mask with... He doesn't like having to go through hoops just to get it repaired or replaced. After he gets a new one he does send the old to Medicare or Home Care Co. to see if he can get a refund or replacement which usually takes 6 to 8 weeks. I hope all goes well with the machine tonight.... well glad you got the plants in before the rain. They'll settle in nicely after all the moisture. ;D

Good night!

KAREN   Frustrating experience with the cpap.  Hope all goes well tonight.  ??? :-\

Phyl, how are you and Jim (and Maggie) doing this morning? Been thinking about all of you...Hope Jim is improving. And you and Maggie are taking care...

Lani, oh that sleeping puppy...Like you, I am so overjoyed about Iris and NG! I remember when Stanley kicked an egg or two out of the nest one year! NG seems like a good provider, he knew how to win Iris's heart! Bring her a fish! Now we wait for eggs, then little ospreyletts! I can't wait! We just can't get enough of them after we have waited for so long! 2014 was the last time there were chicks in the nest of Iris and Stanley. Was it the next year that the hailstorm damaged all of them? And the next year that Stanley didn't return? Lele was in 2018, the last one...
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/cams/hellgate-osprey-cam-timeline/

BL, wow on your fishing trip! Good eats for sure! Do you all take fish home to eat? Severe catching, great cartoon from Lani!

Lisa, I am thinking I will put some vincas out by the mailbox. The rabbits don't seem to bother them! It's raining pretty hard right now, Maybe this afternoon I can get my new hostas planted and pull up some of the Lilies of the Valley. Those lilies spread like crazy, they want to take over my hosta bed!

tig, beautiful roses! Your Mom is smiling!

tsk, I googled the picture of the flowers I posted yesterday morning, they are Ranunculus. Never heard of them, they are planted as bulbs. They are so pretty! Here is some info from The Spruce:  https://www.thespruce.com/ranunculus-7104375

I've fallen a bit behind so trying to 'catch-up". So glad the Beakers who suffered that house blowing-up are able
to rebuild

KAREN- I've heard how frustrating CPap is---have you checked out "Inspire'   in plants ?

BL-that's some tuna, sounds like a great fishing trip

LANI- LOL joke for BL is a good one

CLYNN-just read the wonderful news about Iris and New Guy!  Yes, egglets in the nest---soon!  Thanks for Norwich Cath. looking good there.
Maggie is still here and good as ever. Getting
a bit 'bossy' too. LOL. There's some confusion about Jim's discharge

TIG- to quote everyone, "Beautiful roses."   ;)

Yes. TSK, hopefully Jim will come home today. I bought fresh bananas the other day and some of his fave food ---I hope the bananas last . LOL

Morning all.

clynn - Ranunculus are my favorite flower of all. I first learned of them while living in CA. (70's and 80's) They grow wild there and many are sold as cut flowers.

I once tried to grow one in my wall planter box here but didn't survive.

clynn   The Spruce Nice varied information = always read it.

Found out the stores in the area (Chgo) are just finding out about bananas.  I HAVE to have a banana every day to get started.  Tea, too, banana and tea.  I digress. . .

I greatly dislike grocery shopping.  Mostly once a week, sometimes 10 days, even two weeks.  Hard to get fresh milk and bananas on that schedule.  Some stores now know what I knew - they sell their bananas with little chef-type caps on the end of the bananas.  I learned back in the day - Keep the bananas in a plastic bag covering the top of the banana.  Seal/twist the top ends in baggie.  There is some kind of gas that escapes that needs to stay to prevent them from turning brown.  They last a week at least before the change starts.  10 days if you buy them slightly green.  Better that storing them in the fridge.  When I buy a bunch, some ready and some greenish, I also grab a plastic big from dispenser in the department and put it in my purse for when  I'm home.

Good Caturday Morning Beakers

A little bit of rain this morning - forecast for another shot in the afternoon - currently 60 and heading to 70.  We got 1.25 inches on Thursday - one of the biggest rains this spring for us.  Forecast is more strong storms for the next week. 

Work has been busy, garden center is fully stocked and lots of people buying.  10 day forecast shows lows above 40, so we have most likely had our last freeze of the season.

Hawaii has been having an increase in earthquake activity on the eastern rift zone, which has prompted the Park Service to close some roads and trails to the SE area of the Park.
Island is still active, but volume is down to the point that it's expected to signal stoppage, but the ground rise is still occurring, so the experts are not in agreement on what is to be expected.  Meanwhile another volcano on the Eastern part of Iceland is showing signs of new activity.

Baltimore bridge removal is progressing well - yesterday they remove a large piece of structure from the deck of the ship, revealing that the support pillar is embedded into the side of the ship.

Oldguy - Loved the close up views of the bridge work....thanks.

I remember earlier on them saying all 22 crew members would stay on board. I assume they are off by now but when?...and maybe i shouldn't assume. They said they had provisions for weeks if I remember, but weeks have gone by now I think.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024

Post by: oldguy on May 04, 2024, 11:49:20 AM

It was explained shortly after the accident, that the crew are all from India, so they do not have visas to debark the ship.  What happens after the ship is freed from the bridge and needs to go to a dock for repairs has not been explained.  Repairs could take a year or more.  So I assume that arrangements would be made to allow them to get to an airport for them to fly home or to transfer to another ship traveling outbound from the US.

I can't get over Ollie's comprehension of language.

If I want him to leave me all I have to say is "I'm going in the shower"..

I've never used that word in association with a bath...he HATES that word.

As he's so ever present, aware, etc. he somehow associates the shower water that he never sees with water for his bath.

{{{Phyl, Jim, Miss Maggie}}} Fun watching Cuckoo hunting for a tasty snack!  Talons crossed Jim's able to come home. Praying all of you will rest better when he does.  :-*

Clynn, cute Caturday pics and sweet Falcon chicks.... my heart is so happy seeing Iris at her nest majority of the time again and now, the nest doesn't look lonely anymore. Talons crossed for another egg that's acceptable to NG... Ranunculus has gorgeous blooms, they look like good ground cover too. It's a shame its toxic to people/pets. Sadie loves to taste strange things. Two days ago, she dug up one of my potted roses and ate a fertilizer spike. She's never done that before. So far she's okay.  :-\

Puff, thanks for the banana storage tips. Mike eats one every morning, he doesn't like them when they turn. I don't either.

Hi Tsk, Lisa, Tig, Kb have a good day!  ;D

Oldguy, great story of the history of the scenic railway in Dubuque, IA. It's an amazing build in the 1800's... The view is great today, but can you imagine how stunning it was in the 1800's! Thanks for links and update on Hawaii and Iceland, and Baltimore bridge work. I'll check out what's going on.... Poor General, I got a kick out of Claire doing most of the talking and the vet would only say yes and agree.  ;D... awww the rescued kittens, I read further and see moms were caught too and spayed.

oldguy - Many thanks for all the videos, and love your Ahh, its finally Caturday pic.

Such a busy day - time to catch up before I run out and grab a pizza for tonight as Tim ate the leftovers I planed for dinner, for lunch today  sigh.   ::)

CLYNN   Kitty very comfy in Buddha's lap  LOL  Do you know I have tried twice now to plant lilies of the valley in a place where I don't mind if they spread - no dice!!!  WOW  it has been longer than I thought at Hellgate for a productive nest.  This year has to be a winner.
Thanks for the Ranunculus update.  No bulbs for me!  Pretty sure vincas are on the list of annuals to plant and are rabbit proof.

PHYL   So did Jim get to come home today?  New meds??

PUFF  It made national news the other day when Trader Joes raised the price of a banana from 19 cents to 23 cents!!!  They had been 19 cents FOREVER.  It is still cheaper there than my 2 other groceries - Maybe Aldi's would be cheaper but I don't have one close.

OLDGUY    The close-ups of the bridge project is unbelievable.  So much work to be done.  New kitty TV channels  LOL   Oh, those kitten rescues.  God bless the man who does those.  Hard job.   VIP  cat  ;D   Thanks for the info on the crew of the Dali.  For sure under the circumstances they could not live a year on that ship.

LANI   Loved your Simon good morning  ;D   WOW  who would expect Sadie to do that.  Luckily all OK.  I noticed that too.  Dr Kim's only line was "yes"  LOLOL

Tim and I got "his" garden planted today.  He had prepped the soil a while ago so I took the 2 tomato plants and separated what turned out to be 30 onions and planted them and he took his 5 pea plants and 2 cukes and 3 pepper plants and got those in the ground.  Tomorrow, cut dead blooms off the lilac and put mesh over my black eyed susan patch where the deer ate them to the ground last year!  Never happened in 15 previous years .  :o

Well---my guy is home, showered and shampooed in his fave set of comfy sweats. Resting in his Lazy-Boy with his feet up.
Eating his favorite fruit---banana. Looks great but is weak from his ordeal and no activity.
I am making thin crust  turkey  pepperoni/mushroom , veggie mozzarella  pizza and a chicken, alfredo/spinach w/Kalamata olives pizzas. A green
salad of romaine hearts, spinach and baby kale w/ romas. And, vino.

TSK- No new meds. But, some adjustments in the ones he's currently taking. Old time kitties for Caturday -sweet

OG- tks for  'the bridge' info om Dali crew/photos; kitty rescues Ditto TSK  God bless those who rescue kitties (pups, all wildlife/ocean life);   LOL 'Ahhh...finally Caturday.'

LISA- I luv bananas but they don't even like me; my fave fruit are nectarines (aka peaches w/o the fuzz); luv peaches too; Jim always has a
banana daily. Rained here most of today as well--had set for the furnace but never turned on.

LANI- Simon AM  LOL ;     All this week I didn't get but 2hrs a night for one reason or another.  Last night I fell asleep while eating dinner (it was 11pm)  I had wrestled with a jammed printer for hours and then presto !

KAREN- so glad Cpap is working for you; can see why Inspire might not be good idea.  Pets to Piper

tsk  Looks like we're in for another deluge.  BTW when I got outside today I remember to check the gauge - 1 1/4 inch just for the Thursday night. 

Lani - New and improved comes at a price - your sanity.  I mentioned this month I'm dealing with new computer and it has HP11.  I tried  yesterday, all day yesterday, to get what I wanted.  Took me through lunch and dinner late.  But you feel so good when you hit the jackpot!  What simple unimportant thing was it???   In the process if transferring info from old to new machine I lost my screensaver.

(Picture this - sky blue background with an eagle soaring, carrying a newly caught fish, wings from one side to the other on the screen. Taking it home for dinner!)  No clouds, no trees - just the eagle and the beautiful blue sky.  Had that screen since my first computer.  I was determined!!!

I know you know I used to teach business ed to juniors and seniors.  I tried the positive approach with the kids and their machines.  I'd keep telling the kids - Don't let the machine win.  Well, computers were new to the Chgo system back then, 1990?  And technology was not my major, but we wanted the intercity kids to be primed/prepared.  And, so here I sit, still for hours sometimes, making sure the machine doesn't win.

It's amazing how much they know. Even Rosie, who visits once or twice a year, knows all my routines.  :D

Thanx OldGuy

Ollie is now studying me while I watch and rock to the video of "Still my guitar gently weeps" with Prince on my tv..still gives me goose bumps when Prince jumps in. Windows closed so I'm blasting it with my subwoofer. Not sure he knows what to think?

Kb, Prince was my late brother's favorite musician. He would have loved this.

Jim has note from his hospt. Doc to take to work
when he reports tomorrow.  Work duties as tolerated.

This time of year Jim sets the peanuts out  in feeder  off deck during the week. And weekends  it’s my turn. So, I’m up early  to set out peanuts for the squirrels ---if I leave them out all night the raccoons  will eat them and when those are gone they;ll hunt them as in dig up all the potted plants  search ing for the remainder.   

LANI- kittens in double feeder bowl, Awwwww

TKS- my gardening ‘thumb’ isn’t that ‘green’ so hats off and congrats to you/Tim---anyone who’s works their own veggie plot.

Phyl, glad to hear that Jim is home, hope both of you are getting some rest! Work tomorrow? Hoping he is just supervising!  ;DThe 365 is cuckoo!  Love it!  I am sure the squirrels appreciate you putting peanuts out for them. The Blue Jays here love peanuts too they take them one at a time up to the bush to shell and eat They remind me of thieves!

Lani, love the kittens sleeping in their food dish! I got the weighted bowl for the cat's water, Sophie still plays in the water but hasn't been able to tip it over so far!

tsk, kudos to Tim for getting his garden planted! I think I will plant vincas around the mailbox this year. I used to plant marigolds, which I always thought critters didn't like but as soon as one bud flowers it gets eaten!

oldguy, great video on the Dali. Wow, what a huge mess! Hope you did good at cards last night!

Puff, I would be in the insane asylum over electronic issues if I didn't have Erin!

Lisa, I have a fruit basket with a banana hook attached! Works great!

The Oscar Mayer mansion in Evanston, Illinois was abandoned for over 10 years before being purchased in 2016. The 7,400-square-foot, chateauesque-style mansion was built in 1901 and was home to Oscar Mayer Sr. from 1927 to 1965. After sitting for years in need of care, the beautiful Oscar Mayer Mansion in Evanston, Illinois had new life breathed into it!

PUFF  I so admire your tenacity!!!   

LANI   Sweet good night photo.  Perfect fit.  ;D

PHYL   Crafted owls.  Someone had fun. :)  WOW  Back to work so soon - as tolerated tho.   The cuckoos  365 calling reminded me yesterday of cardinals doing that  - one in our backyard and one a few houses down responding  ;)  Indian legends make for good stories.  ;D

CLYNN  Good news on the water dish  ;) ;)   The list says that rabbits will not eat marigolds.  Mine get eaten as well if in the ground but not in pots.   Was not familiar with the Oscar Mayer mansion - WOW  Wonder how long that took?  When does the deck roof man come?

One more follow up story re the machine. . .Ton's daughter & son-in-law own E2Services, Inc.  They are providers to several clients.  Whenever Ton could see my distress he would always say call Sheryl/Scott.  But, I did have determination and an inkling of what might work.  I also felt quilty that they'd use their time when someone on contract was paying $$$$$$.  I had an OK to pay them off with some homemade mushroom soup (Scott's fav).  It was fascinating and instructive to watch as they'd buddy up and let me watch, or try to watch as they zip zip zip and fix in a minute.

They did finally give me my tech's contact info, someone close by to help me.  Also, if there was something the new guy needed (Tom) they'd tell him what to do and help.  If they trusted him, I trust him.  Ton's son is also in the tech field and a consultant/representative for several corps, some international.  Also "Anthony", he just took over Ton's computer and would spot problems and even fix them before Ton knew there was a problem.  Poor Ton - talking about being in a different time zone - he'd come to me when he needed to even just to send an email.  I'd wait until I hit the wall - more often then I'd want to admit to.

It's a whole new world out there, and getting more and more involved.  When I really get into a "spot", and I do and just did when I ruined my comp last month, I just open up the Forum and watch and listen to the birds. . .RELAX!

Puff - I like your determination to not let the machine win!

Good Morning!  Humid. Again! had strong thunderstorm warnings last night but only a little rain!  As the system passed over it kind of dissipated!
Glad to read that Jim is settled in!   Hopefully he. Willpace himself at  wirk!

Thanks for the OM mansion house pictures, Clynn!  I have seen that house!  Worked in Evanston for a year  and loved all the old mansions thee and elsewhere on the North Shore!   Fun to live in such a house but the. Cost of maintenance, heating and cooling would be outrageous!   Think one would also truly need an upstairs, downstairs maid!
Lilies of the valleys in France are a major French tradition dating back to King George 1X.  Had them in Chicago but I have never seen them in the south!  Nice ground cover!
 O sightings of E23 today, or the parents!   M brought a squirrel to the nest and when little E did not show to eat, he and the misses flew off with it for a snack!  Wish him a safe and happy life! HoPe he stays safe in Florida storms and that he perfects his fishing skills !

Lani and TSK, I'm not sure if it was clear about that marina... The picture of that marina I posted is not anywhere near me - it's the marina that BL posted he was using up around Hatteras on the Outer Banks of NC, when he caught that great big mahi-mahi!!    :D  It is a gorgeous place, but I'm not anywhere near there. I just used BL's posted link to the marina he was using this past week, and it was a live cam of that marina, so I took a screen shot, with the joke caption to "Find BrokenLug."   ;D


Well, I'm posting as I read - have several days of posts to catch up on... but I see Iris layed an egg last Thursday!!!  :-* :-* :-*  Thanks, Lani, for posting about that! Love the pic you posted of the Happy Couple!  ;) :D :-* :-*  I'm not going to count any calendar days - and I'm not sending them to the Maury Povich Show to do paternity testing and announcing who the daddy is!!   ;D ;D ;D  So I'm going to read on now, and maybe learn if Iris has laid any more eggs since then.  :)

Tsk, NG brought a fish for Iris this morning, she wasn't hungry so off he went. Everyone at Hellgate and Iris fans/followers are praying that Iris will no longer be alone.  :-* ... I could hear the three boys mama holding back. She struck just the right tone, because she knew her farming husband would just get a good laugh, as you can tell with his post about the situation. She resolved the issue and in the end you could hear her say "next time use paper" and he says respectfully  "yes ma'am"  :-* ... but his two siblings. LOL! Looks like he's the leader, this family will be having years of adventures. Especially since she has 4 boys to raise, and I'm including the boys father!!!  LOLOLOL!!   ;D

Clynn, NG brought another fish to Iris and she's having breakfast on the owl pole right now. He's not brooding, but he's guarding the egg/nest. OMG! He just kicked the egg out after bring a branch. 10:46am time. I keep trying to go back and take a snip  :'( ... looks like NG can count days.  :-\

Lisa, I agree with you about NG. She's sitting on her nest with NG and softly chirping to him. And he's proudly guarding her/nest. She deserves this after the lonely summers she's had to endure, losing her eggs to the ravens/crows because she had to fish for food to survive too.
Puff, Louis started mating with Iris three weeks ago. And the NG persistently this past week... so..  ???... thank you for sharing your experiences.

5/3 Good Morning, Hellgate #CHOWS! For those who have been following #HellgateOspey for 5 years or more, you know how amazing it was to see Iris incubating the egg with a mate standing by. We've waited a long time.
We believe we can say #ProjectNewMate was a success.

Iris accepts some Fish from her new beloved provider who is trying so hard....she took it to Owl Pole where she is currently devouring it! ❤ posted by Jennie Powell

Lani, oh my, NG gave the "egg-by-Louis" the boot from the nest! Thank goodness, Iris still likes cooing with NG, and he's sticking around and bringing fish love offerings to her regularly!! :-* :-* :-*  I guess NG didn't need "no stinking Maury Povich Show" to prove who that egg-daddy was!!  ;D ;D 8)  Okay... bring on the new clutch, Iris! It has to be love between her and NG, and I don't think Louis will be getting any more time with Iris!! Yay! LOL. And all's well that ends well for all! Talons crossed, and time will tell the tale! I see ospreylets in iris and NG's nest future.  :)

(https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/spring-5-1548458035.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&resize=980:*)



I'm finally caught up on reading 3 days or so of posts in The Beak.  :D

Yesterday I walked 29 minutes, and today I walked 34 minutes. My bum right knee is not happy, so I'm not pushing it.  ::)

Yesterday, while I was out running some errands, and was stopped at a stoplight, a large bird starting flying towards me, and I was watching to see if I could make out what it was before the light turned green. It was too far away, and up pretty high - way above the tall treetops - but getting closer, and I was thinking it might be a heron or egret because it was too big to be one of our usual kinds of hawks around here. Well, it finally got closer, and I could see so much white from below, and then it flew smack dab right over my car - an osprey! with a good-sized fish on board! LOL, the fish and the osprey had the same heading. Natch.  ;) I loved being able to watch it go over me, fish lined up in the talons for least resistance.  :-* :-* :-*  I wish I could've seen where it went with that fish, to maybe discover a nest, because it was definitely on a mission. If that fish was just for that osprey, it could've easily stopped to eat it in any of several massive trees it flew past.  :-* :-* :-*


Phyl, good news on Jim being home. I hope he feels better and better each day.

BL, what a great week you and the guys have had!!

Karen, glad your replacement CPAP is working. Give 'em hell!  ;D 8)

Zippo is tired of looking at my back while I'm at my computer. She is calling to me to come over and "kiss kiss." LOL.  :-* :-* So I'm going to comply, and then watch the Madrid Open men's final match - on my DVR. So many unexpected happenings in that tourney this year. No one would've guessed at the beginning of the tournament who the men's finalists would turn out to be this year. The women's final yesterday was a stellar 3-set match, with Swiatek managing to survive over Sabalenka - the number 1 and number 2 women players in the world... an excellent match, and either could've won it.  Looking forward to the next tourney, in Rome, coming up - and will get to see my boyfriend play again, there, if nothing crops up healthwise before then. And keeping fingers crossed for him to be able to make it back to Roland Garros afterward (to play The French Open), though he has not made any definite announcement about that yet... taking it one tourney at a time... a goodbye tour, that I hope will last for a while longer for him. :D :-*


Take care, All.  :)

Cool, a Chiropractor adjusts the neck of a giraffe....

I never did animals btw...but, a colleague who I went to school with moved to Israel, had 9 children, I know his wife too from LA, and is Both a human and animal Chiropractor.

Unfortunately, 3 of their sons have been deployed. 2 injured but good enough to be re-deployed at the end of May. No matter how you feel about this they want it to end asap.

I've been outside all day: use various tools to edge all  the brick lining my gardens in back anyway...have to do it every other year or so. Long knife etc. The weed whip doesn't quite get it all.

BAZI    I don't think I was confused.  I knew it was BL's.    Nice catch on the osprey.  Love how they carry as well  - parallel grab   ;D

LANI    LOLOLOL  Cinco De Mayo pup. Prompted by your comments, I saw the video of the interior of the mansion.  They just don't make staircases and moldings  like that anymore...The stain glass on the stair landing!  :o    I love that you are making a list of chores you and Aly can both work on together.  Half the man hours to do a project  ;) ;)

KB   Wonder how they knew the giraffe was having issues.  Maybe did an Xray?  Bet your yard is looking beautiful.

I've found this is so very true. And, I love that.

CLYNN- 'keep peace in  your heart'  ;)   I almost bought one of those wire banana hanger/fruit bowl. Instead I found my fresh
fruit keeps better in fridge on air circulating grid in veggie draw.  Go figure. :P
 :o    Hoodoos in the Bisti Badlands, New Mexico.   Oh my The Oscar Mayer mansion in Evanston, Illinois before/after, for sale for only $3,000,000. Why write it up for me.
Sure don't and never will build them like that anymore . Thanks.

TSK- luv the daisy this AM.  Jim also has a sinus infection with drainage.  So he has antibiotics and such.  How wild...I just bought some marigolds this afternoon to
set in  out inwhite planter on the deck floor between the chairs. Plus 4 other  items to plant in my cobalt blue pots. Next weekend we'll be out  drinking our coffee and breakfasting .

PUFF- determination  ;)

LISA-pretty AM today

KAREN- to be sure the cost of main tance and such these days would cost a fortune in and of itself;  Be safe E23  :-*

LANI- thanks for the Royal Albie update and snaps---so glad LGL came back to feed TF and wings are getting new markings; Oh goodness! NG kicked out Louis's egg in the nest.  NG has made a clear statement.  ;)         Sounds like you and Aly will be very busy in July. Go Girl Power!

Baz, what a cool osprey sighting!!  ;D... Kisses for Zippo!  :-*

Iris is restless on the nest tonight. She's been moving in a circle every other minute or in different directions and fussing with the nest bowl for the past two hours.
I think she's going to lay another egg tonight.

Good night Iris!

tsk, I will be going to the greenhouse this week to get my coleys and other flowers too! That is what I always use my birthday $$$ for!  Dad always gave us a dollar for each year old we were and Mom threw in $50. She covers both now, and that is a nice sum of $$$$ for flowers! The ground is good and soft from all the rain, but not muddy! I can't wait to get there and start filling the cart!

Phyl, ahh, the cottonwood trees! Lots of those in Decorah! My grandparents had 2 big ones at the end of their sidewalk, many moons ago. You always have interesting articles! the coffee and the blue hole, both very interesting. The NatGeo article needs a membership to open, but I found a similar article on the History Channel:  https://www.history.com/news/secret-societies-freemasons-knights-templar

Lani, just read your good night post and you were right!! Iris laid an egg at 10:01 last night!  And this one will be NG's for sure! Happy, happy, happy!!!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zElBeBya6ws   Thanks for the Royal Alby news, they are just starting to get their black coloring! But they still have a lot of fluffy white!

tsk, our sister (me, Cathy, Becky and Jennifer) group loves touring old mansions, and you are so right, they just don't make them like that anymore.

baz, hope your boyfriend makes it to Rome and then to the French Open! You got to see an osprey up close, and with a fish! I remember having lunch with friends at a restaurant by the mall lake, and seeing one of our osprey's dive into the lake and come up with a big orange fish (koi?)! I checked the WF nest cam, and sure enough, the male came to the nest with the orange fish! Awww, Zippo wants to look at you!

Phyl, oh no, Jim has a sinus infection! Hope it clears up quickly! If you are putting marigolds on your deck, then I know it's not the squirrels that ate mine! Has to be the rabbits!  Or maybe the chipmunks. Do you have chipmunks?

Boy, the lilacs around here are just starting to smell wonderful!..home from a walk with Ollie man. Saw another loose dog up ahead, but this time was able to turn around and walk home a different way without seeing it again. Whew.

Sis on her way to stop in before her hopefully last eye exam. She got a special kind of cataract surgery in both eyes where she won't need bifocals. Forgot the name of the type of surgery. They have been using UV light in her post op appointments to make fine adjustments and then they seal it up. Mucho bucks over what Medicare would have paid...After she explained the surgery and she was awake for 9 minutes for each eye, I said nope, nada, not for me even though I'm Medicare approved. After all, they put dogs to sleep for their cataract surgery....LOL

Have a Happy Bird Day, Clynn.

Back growing up in Kaiser Steel Mine at Eagle Mountain, CA. We lived on Cottonwood Drive and at our house we had so many cottonwood trees,  the 'company' planted...Dad & Mom hated them...esp. in spring and fall. Dad'd trim them with a hand saw and let 'the boys'  Larry/Dan build a fort. It lasted 'till it began to come loose...then...'Good Bye'.
It was fun!
 I need to call Jim while he's on meal break and see how my fella's doing.

CLYNN-  :o that's a nice 'haul' for birthday. The Kids have a party planned for you?
  You and TSK will be in gardener's heaven.  Thanks for update on Iris and NG.
 I don't have rabbits anymore---don't know what happened to them. Jim sees them here---frequently though.  They use to visit the deck steps and eat the wild strawberries
---berries still here though.
Don't have voles or chipmunks any more either. Thanks to that     )&^%$#!_     big yellow/black Jacquard patterned snake.
 I use 'Repels All'    to keep my squirrels in check.


TSK- 'girls' lunch out. Sounds like some fun going on.  ;)  Which restaurant for today's repast?

LISA- I was looking for the white/ pink centered Vinca yesterday.  Again I forgot  these aren't set out 'till Mother's Day.  Thanks

LANI- sweet BD greeting for CLynn.

Well, best get busy.

Clynn, what a great gift from you mom! You'll have fun at the greenhouse! I'll buy my plants next weekend after Mike returns from a couple of trips. And we'll go together.... oh my NG on top of Iris at the owl pole.  ::) .... I'm so happy for Iris! A mate, eggs to brood, a new year for her. I pray for a successful season.  :-* ... I'm looking forward to hearing what fun events your family has planned for you today!  ;D

Phyl, there goes the Cottonwood seeds. When we lived in Kansas, they would fill our pool, AC, it was always a mess.... interesting science links.... I can't access NG link, but I assume Freemason, Knights Templar.. Mike's great grandfather was a Freemason, and granddad a Mason.... sending good wishes to Jim for an easy first day back at work.... I use "Repel All" too, and it works with the squirrels and rabbits.

TSK, LOL, glad you weren't confused... it just was the way you were telling me how pretty that marina was that made me wonder if you thought it was a marina near me. I was the confused one, obviously!  ;) ;D ;D

baz, hope your boyfriend makes it to Rome and then to the French Open! You got to see an osprey up close, and with a fish! I remember having lunch with friends at a restaurant by the mall lake, and seeing one of our osprey's dive into the lake and come up with a big orange fish (koi?)! I checked the WF nest cam, and sure enough, the male came to the nest with the orange fish! Awww, Zippo wants to look at you!

This picture and caption just cracked me up!

Clynn, I just LOVE that pic from Hellgate of the great view up there!!  !!   :D :D :D :D :-* :-* :-* LOL, thanks for posting it!  :)

I remember when you told us that you saw that osprey catch the orange koi, and it was delivered to the nest!!!  That was so crazy-looking!  ;D

Post by: tsk34 on May 06, 2024, 04:32:13 PM

LISA   Love those beautiful tulips.  Wish they lasted longer once cut.  I love fresh flowers in my house  ;D

PHYL  Thanks for the article on the Knights, etc..lots of good stuff to read.  Had only heard of the first 3.   One of my girl group Maureen fell 9 weeks ago and had surgery to "repair" a shattered tibia plateau.  Still non weight-bearing. She/husband moved from my town 2 yrs ago to live closer to her dtr and grandchildren.  She lives in Mokena Il - 50 minutes away 90% by expressway.  We hadn't seen her since before Xmas.  We had a GREAT time. We each brought something and she ordered a "sandwich and sides" tray from Jewel.  Pam brought a cake and we sang happy birthday to Linda whose B-day was last month.  ;D   We really needed a catch up time together.

KB   Stunning egret.  Hope you had a good visit with Sis.   Eye surgery is so scary for me.  I can still wait a bit for cataract surgery.  Perfect gift from Sis and hope her eyes are now in perfect shape.

LANI  Great card for CLYNN  :)   The close-ups of those baby sloths are so precious.  Looks like the last one is smiling  LOL

CLYNN  Sounds like a perfect b-day  ;D  I sure wish we could attract wrens.  Barb has them in her yard where they nest.  Cool Utah Hwy.  :o

BAZI    WOW  Love all those cake choices  ;D   The chocolate/chocolate for me!!!   Chocolate/strawberry next  LOL

Lori, thanks for the Birthday wishes and the Buttermilk strawberry cake!  Yum!  I will share it with everyone...except for tsk, who wants chocolate chocolate!  ;D ;D Many of us are oh so happy for Iris, it's been a long time since we have had babies in that nest! NG seems like a wonderful mate for her, he has brought her so many fish, and is helping her brood the egg. She hasn't been pampered like this since Stanley... 10 years ago!

tsk, I brought Mom a wren house a couple of years ago for Christmas. I think she had wrens last year but not so far this year.  Glad to hear you had a good time with the girls!

baz, what's funny is that I rarely rarely have cash burning a hole in my pocket anymore! I deposit it, and pay the charge with the $$' Love those rewards.  ::) I guess it all turns out to be the same thing though, I can't wait to spend it! Thank you for all the birthday wishes!

Wave petunia and various vines for the hanging baskets. Coleus ruby slippers and inferno for the front planter... those colors will match our top siding inset which is brick red.
I'm pooped from cutting just one section of grass. My new to me allergies kicked in again yesterday.

Clynn, sounds like a wonderful birthday!    Just the kind of celebration  when you turn 39!  🤤
I have been sitting here trying to decide between the chocolates ,chocolate or the strawberry Lorie posted!   I am having one of each! delicious!   Old Guys  card hit the nail on the head!
Tsk, great flower selection!   I too love moss rose!   What are spikes?  I am guessing a green narrow tall p,ant of some kind!   Will be getting my strawberry pot out and filling it with   The moss rose! 
The picture of Iris should be on a calendar!  A classic!
Had a busy day and will be out again tomorrow  on errands and have an appointment for my shots in my back
Thursday!    Piper says, stay home!  Lol
Phyl, sorry  Jim is having sinus issues.  Hope he is pacing him self!
Seds all!    Oh, little E 23 is. Stil a no show so he must be off seeing his part of the world!
Will they name NG?

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: Phyl on May 06, 2024, 07:22:14 PM

The clouds are dark and the sky is rumbling---something's gonna happen. Just as long as it's dry tomorrow when I pot.  ;)

CLYNN- sounds like y'all are gonna have a nice dinner and loads of fun. Always , IMHO, a good sign when 'the  dad' takes part in the pregnancy. Hats off to NG. Tks for the snaps of Hellgate; Utah scenic hw y  12 just awesome tks. Nat Geo Leap Into Life , they have the best photographers, it seems.

HI  EAGLES- cheery BD greeting for CLynn;
LORI- had to show Jim your cake for CLynn---anything strawberry  ;);  Anywho---that's a delish looki'n cake for CLynn.

TSK-poor Maureen 'Ouch!'  I keep a prayer candle in  house for Beakroom and all friends and family are included. So It's buring for Maureen too.
 So glad you gals had a great visit.  Thanks for sharing your lunch date .Don't know a soul who's been following Hellgate who isn't thrilled about
NG and Iris .

BAZ- that roll of $100's   :o  Nope! can't just pick on slice---sure shoot'n it's choco or the vanilla w/pecan filling (?)

TIG- all the best with your flower garden. Fo some reason this came to mind, not that you need ideas of course.  I had a drippy garden faucet  in my backyard in MO and and solved the prob planting  some Moss Rose  there--- :)


LANI- tks for sloth update and all.  I'm not a sloth person. But the  last two snaps of the babies are kinda cute.  ;)

LISA- and all  Jim siad he had a pretty good day. Still not 100% of course. But, the store is good to him about brakes. He's in his recliner w/ feet up (now he listens)
watching 'Primetime' and tending dinner for me.  Maggie's in her ( mine)desk chair

HI KAREN- Jim's pacing himself and the store is very kind to him.  Thanks for thinking of him/me.  :-*
agree snap of Iris should be on RRP's calendar; think New Guy should have a more suitable name, IMHO.

Baz, fun birthday posts for Clynn. LOL! delicious cakes. I'll have one of those.  ;D

Lori, Yummy Strawberry birthday cake for Clynn! Love the great birthday card with Harley, S & S!  ;D :-*

Tsk, sounds like a fun time with the girls! I remember you mentioning a few weeks ago about your friend falling, glad she's doing well.

Tig,  A nice assortment of plants, I love moss rose, they are wonderful ground cover and do well in the sun here. Take care.

Karen, sending good wishes for E23 happy travels! From reading the chat, Dr Green of Montana osprey study will be naming NG sometime soon, now that NG has become a permanent mate for Iris. I read they will give him a Salish Tribe name, as they did Louis.

Phyl, glad Jim had a good day.

Cane Ridge Bluebirds, Cane Ridge, Tennessee April/May 2024

4-23-24 12:54 pm Mom with CR# 65 or 66 on feeder pole.  With the 'kids' having left home (fledge) while I was
occupied with Jim's hospital stay. I wasn't able to fully ID them according to their development/markings and all.
So after 22 years of following our bluebirds I thought I was qualified in making an 'educated guess'.

The fledglings have returned from 'flight school' . Guessamation the fledglings have been in training about a week.

I want to thank you all for the wonderful birthday cards and goodies yesterday! We had a great dinner at Applebee's and my WeatherTech  is on the way (backordered). I made my cake, buttermilk white with whipped cream and strawberries, it was a big hit! And today I am going to the greenhouse! Couldn't ask for more!

Phyl, great pics of the Cane Ridge Bluebirds! Wow, the first batch has already fledged! Strange sounding frog in the 365! Jim will be proud of your pictures and documentation! And more eggs! They are beautiful!

Lani, beautiful sunset with the spiraling clouds! Just checked on Iris, she is sleeping peacefully...

Phyl, I love that lamp in your post!  Beautiful eagle on the Flyway!  Hoping Jim is better each day, hugs for you and Maggie...

tsk, maybe I will try moss rose out by the mailbox.  Lots of sun there! I don't have a full sun place in my front gardens, lots of shade.

karen, hope you get some good relief from the shots today!

Royal Albatross

TF (Top Flat) and TFT (Top Flat Track) have been identified as males after test. ;D
Both chicks have been moving about more to visit with each other or other chick nests close by. 

5/7 - Top Flat chick is 105 days old and weighs 7.9 kg just after 10 am this morning. Average weight for 105-day old male is 7.8 kg. Last week’s weight was also 7.9 kg as LGK and LGL had both been in the day before. Top Flat chick has been fed by both parents frequently over the last week, some feeds have been quite large, but there has been a gap just prior to weighing.

The heaviest chick today was 9.9 kg.

TF chick has moved further downhill near neighbor TFT

The last chick at top flat, Miss NTF (North Top Flat), ventured a little further around this time to have a chat with TF....  She was very funny.

I've been outside working, of course, LOL....edge cut my bricks along my driveway.

Therefore, I learned from a neighbor who would know, the house on my block exploded from a gas dryer.

I wondered which appliance was the culprit.

The new owners bought and installed themselves I believe a new dryer....I was confused when she explained there were 2 gas lines?...one was on, one was off or partially off?

the teenage daughter smelled the "rotten egg smell" as she slept downstairs but didn't know what it meant.
The parents apparently didn't sleep there.

Meanwhile, another house gas explosion in Princeton MN, this time, 2 adults deceased...

DIY gas is not allowed imho unless you are an expert.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

I had a follow-up visit with the OT for my hand today. I go back to her again in a week, and I will go back to the hand ortho in early June. I'm making good progress on mobility, continuing those exercises. Today she added some new coordination exercises. I expect to start strength training exercises at next appt. She has me still not lifting anything over 1-2 lbs at most with my right hand. I have been doing all the mobility exercises she prescribed for home, and they have made for a great improvement. This past Sunday I could put the key into my car's ignition, start the car, and also could twist it to the off position and remove the key, all with only my right hand - they way that is normal, for older cars with no key fob or start button, donchaknow.  ;)  Yay! And also, this past Sunday, I was able to use my right hand to hold and adjust my binoculars. Big YAY!  :D

I hope everyone is staying alert and safe who are in the path of severe weather. So much loss and heartbreak in so many places. Prayers for all who have suffered from the storms.

(((Take care, All.)))

The teenage daughter apparently left for school before it happened. Neighbor of mine said "teenagers may not understand what the smell is"..
Am happy to hear what appliance was the issue though.

Still very fishy stuff...Dennis told me today the "Recovery company" told him the owners bought insurance 2 hours before the explosion.....hmmm, Before they even open for business? It was on the news they didn't have any.
I'm concerned for Dennis and Vi, but I sense they just want to move on and have so many friends/family questioning what they are hearing etc. that they are now overwhelmed.

CLYNN-very rustic/creative embellishment on door lock, I like that one, too.  So happy to hear your BD dinner was fun and yummy.  Jim has WeatherTech in his
Ford Fusion, he didn't even notice that when he bought the car until he took me for a spin and I announced " Cool. You have Weather Tech liners! The previous
owners must have added those"
So, guessing that  you have your plants and are ready to pot them?   We had forecast for light rain 10am to Noon then again at 2pm.  So I get out on deck and pot , plant, pot, pot, pot to beat the drops. Which I did, BTW. Come in and change have breakfast and tea. And, wait---not a drop one all day. Zip!
Many thanks for DNN update---those kids look great!

LISA- pretty daisies; I'm w/you on CLynn's cake.

{{{KAREN}}}  will be thinking of  you tomorrow when you get your 'shot'. Hope it all works out well for you.  Pets to Piper.

LANI- Thank you for the Royal's report. I think that's so  sweet with the chicks moseying about visiting one another's nest.  Sounds kinda neighborly in small town way. Awww Miss North Top flat chick . Safe travels for Mike

Mornin' Lani Wow, feel sorry for Michigan.  Morning weather people say it's very unusual for such a strong tornedo/wind problem in the state.  I do a lot of Amazon/FedEx like most of us - wonder how they straighten out the mess at that Amazon center.

I'll check the rain total here in Darien later; we had a couple heavy downfalls.  I think tsk got it worse by her.  It's hard to talk about our area/areas.  We have to include one bit greater municipal area.  Tsk and I are about 20 miles apart (?) and end up with different ends of the scale.

I see I was wrong - - - again.  This was around me last night.  After being out in the yard most of yesterday I guess I died when I hit the sheets.  Hope it's not too damp to do some more work.  They're not predicting anything bad (so far) today.  The 55 mph might have thrown things around a bit.  Glad we didn't put the patio umbrella in/up.

 Special Weather Statement issued May 7 at 8:27PM CDT by NWS Chicago IL

At 826 PM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking strong thunderstorms along a line extending from near West Chicago to near Plainfield to near Morris. Movement was east at 45 mph. HAZARD...Wind gusts up to 55 mph. SOURCE...Radar indicated. IMPACT...Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects. Locations impacted include... Aurora, Joliet, Naperville, Bolingbrook, Wheaton, Downers Grove, Elmhurst, Lombard, Bartlett, Carol Stream, Romeoville, Plainfield, Hanover Park, Addison, Glendale Heights, Elk Grove Village, St. Charles, Woodridge, Glen Ellyn, West Chicago, Lockport, New Lenox, Homer Glen, Mokena, and Franklin Park.

TIG   Thank you for the news about the recovery of the 6th bridge worker.  As the commentator said  - sad but a relief for the families.  RIP Jose

PHYL    You made it and no rain anyway  LOLOL  Big job done.  Happy Sunday???  LOLOL  Love the colorful chime.  Oh Oh  hidden mallard nest  :o 365

PUFF   Yes I saw the damage at Kalamazoo - Fed Ex building...Lots of tornados in their area.  Joliet also had a lot of flooding - Think they closed I57 to clear all the water.   I saw that weather warning on the TV.

Good Morning Puff!  Glad you are fine and hope there were not too many things blown around your area last evening!   Know folks in many of the towns listed in your report!  Up early today and looking out at a dense fog advisory!  63 degrees now with 98 % humidity!  Going to 91!   La Nina due in June bringing with her the possibility of 😞33 Atlantic coast hurricanes!   Last year  there were 14! 
Got up very late yesterday!  Trouble going to sleep that night!  After I got going, the help took me to .target to return some filters for my water pitcher and found the correct  ones  that add plastic to the other junk they take out of the water stream!   Then walked around the store for a long time  buying things I did not know I needed!   Then home to a lot of phone calls!
Vickie (wiskeringwings) posted that .e 23 has not been seen since last Friday  afternoon.  Hevwas 124 days old which is the average dispersal time, At this nest.  She still stops in as the kids have been known to revisit the nest.
Housekeeper due at 10:30 so signing off to do a few things!

Puff, we had some pop-up storms last evening here!  It got darker, the wind whipped up and it rained hard...for just a few minutes. Then the sun came back out. It happened two or three times! Nothing on the radar. nr posted this on FB with the caption : Again?

Lani, cute good night pic, sleeping well...I slept well last night. Had been tossing and turning for a few nights. Hugs for you and your fur babies...  Thank youagain for bring theRoyal Alby update.

Phyl, didn't end up getting plants yesterday, but we will today! I was just tired, probably from not sleeping for a couple of nights!  All is right now. Hope Jim is better and better and you too! And Maggie, of course!  Last night Sophie reached up and gave Harley a big hug around the neck - and he didn't run off or hiss at all!  365, it sure seemed like Mama Duck could sense the camera or the slight noise! Ticks, yes, YUK! We didn't used to have to worry about Lymes disease!  77 for the high here today, rain this afternoon and this evening. Interesting on the tennis skirts, I cannot imagine trying to play with a long dress and a bustle! Such strict rules for women back in the days!

tsk, the stories of the explosion remind me of the old gossip game we used to play as kids. Something is passed on the person next to you and by the time it gets back around it is totally different! Your toaster post reminded me of my Mother's Day gift for Mom. When I was there she said she needed to get a new toaster, hers was only toasting half of the bread. We kept forgetting to look for one. Si I found a nice Cuisinart at Kohl's. On sale, I had 30% off and some Kohl's Cash.  It ended up costing me less than $12! And free shipping!

baz, sounds like you are doing all the right things for your finger!

karen, laughing at you finding things in Target that you didn't know you needed! Happens to me all the time! Hope the bad weather passes over you!  How is Piper doing these days?

Finally, Iris lets us see her first egg with NG!

Lani- Yes, I understand Dennis and Vi very well, as well.

Where I'm coming from is simple: I think at least nearby homeowners would be grateful to understand what NOT to do in home life.
Meaning if there is a lesson to be learned then share it for all homeowners as prevention.

Finding out it was a homeowner installed gas dryer brings some comfort to me and others, as we wouldn't do that. Maybe also a warning to others?

I never was sure that anything would be learned by this tragedy. As many incidents never get back to the cause.

Anyway, we apparently will have to look at, drive by it, for quite some time. For Dennis and Vi that will be the worst.

tig - Thanks for the info on 6th worker :(

Phyl - Thanks, and thanks for the links.

karen - Oh good on E4E.  How nice of the help to take you to Target. 

Puff -  I had to laugh when you said, "I guess I died when I hit the sheets".  My Daddy could sleep thru a hurricane, and I am not kidding!  When I was younger, I only remember leaving the house one time to go someplace safer for a hurricane.

Clynn - It's already demolished with half the house thrown in the basement and other half in piles surrounded by orange fencing.

Big However!....just walked home with Ollie man. I saw 4 huge still empty dumpsters parked there so the intention to remove it is there Maybe this weekend?..

Don't have a clue if they intend to remove the foundation...if not, when junk removed it will look better as a hill with a basement only!..LOL

Off to mow/weed whip front again, LOL..with all this rain. Primarily though my maple has "thrown" voluminous amount of seed on grass and driveway so will bag it up.
Plus, turn the water on in the front yard...haven't had to yet, but a stretch of dry weather ahead. My grass seed will still need to be watered.

Later.

Tsk, I felt like Garfield this morning... keep safe from the storms.  :-*

Karen, Isn't that amazing how many things you can buy off your list at Target? LOL! I always come out with more than I planned. Walmart is that same... you have a busy day planned, take care.

Clynn, love your morning posts, especially baby bluebird.... oh my dark skies posted by nr.... what a great find for your mom. Online shopping is the way to go. She'll love it... NG is a wonderful mate for Iris. He loves to brood, taking good care of Iris, egg and nest. He reminds me a lot of Stanley. He's right there when Iris calls. What a blessing.... I pray you have many more good night's sleep. Be safe from the storms :-* ... WOW! What a huge Tuna! ... beautiful greenhouse.

KB     They may never know the whole story about that explosion/owners...And you know how stories change as they are passed on person to person. :o

TSK, I agree. Dennis and Vi are smart to separate themselves as much as possible from all the "talk/gossip/stories" going around. Why take on that stress in addition to the stress they must already be dealing with related to the damage to their own property. They are smart to just let their insurance company deal with the other homeowner's insurance, or no insurance. That's part of the job Vi's homeowner insurance company takes on.

TSK, Lani and others, thanks for your encouragement as I try to follow the OT and hand ortho's prescribed instructions.  :) :-* :-* I'm definitely not a perfect patient, LOL!! But I do want to get the most from the pros who are treating me, else it would be a waste of my time and money to go to them for their expertise and services. I'm doing therapy for all three middle fingers on my right hand. The thumb and little finger are good, though! Yay!  :D  But all three of the other fingers on that hand were sprained in my fall, in addition to the middle finger having the break in it's middle joint. ::)   I would be much farther along with what I can do if I were only dealing with the broken joint in the middle finger. The sprains in all 3 fingers will take time to heal, too - sometimes longer than a fracture, which the OT reminded me about the other day.



No walking exercise for me the last couple days, or today... my bum knee is being weird, while hurting a lot. Sheese...  ::)  Ho hum... but it will get better. It better!  ;D


I still have today's posts to read and catch up on in The Beak, so... BBL!  :D

Great buy for your mom's toaster gift! Cute story about Harley accepting Sophie's hug.  :) :-* Hope you have good weather to go plant shopping today.  :)

I hope everyone in the path of the storms stays safe today. Please stay alert for any severe weather warnings in your area.

LISA   Pretty AM hydrangea.   Did get my annuals ( 90%)  this AM at 8:30!!!   but am waiting on my hanging pots.  Not much to choose from at the 2 groceries where they are about $10 cheaper than at the big boxes or nurseries which are not selling the 10" pots which I like.  Will not plant til Friday/Sat as tomorrow is supposed to be rain all day.

Have a very nice hydrangea in the back that is ready to bloom!   Had 3 bushes there years ago that did not do well but the stem of one of  them got buried and took root!   I cut it loose from the mother plant and left it alone.  The  little thing has been growing on its own for 3 or 4 years and it looks great!   One of the  blue flowered ones.

The help is supposed to help me shop and they drive my car to stores, dr. Apts, etc.   also do light housekeeping .   I do not need a lot of personal care..  i have them 3 times a week for a few hours, 4 max.   Nice.

Piper says ir is time fir bed!  Seds all in the path Of the storms, stay safe!   Iris, be good to NG!

Phyl, oh I remember working on that number puzzle on long car rides when I was a kid! Beautiful bluebird pictures in your Cane Ridge Bluebirds thread! Serene pic of the Flyway this morning and love the 365 with the wiggly duck butts! And Mother Goose with her little ones!  :)

Lani, sweet good night pic, you always find good ones!  That sweet little Sophie, she hasn't been able to turn the water dish over so the just plays in the water! She sticks her paw in and then shakes it off. So she gets wet and the floor gets wet! Sophie and Bella, my wild girls!
 
Hellgate - Sonja Palentine - NG brought the massive 2nd fish to Iris. He left the OP about a half hour ago. Dunno where he was meanwhile. Maybe he was waiting for her to get hungry again? It didn't work. She didn't want it. She just chirped at him. Roughly translated as "there's such a thing as too much fish sweetie."He took it to the OP and stood awkwardly 'cause he's not hungry either.

Phyl, looks like we will have a cool, off and on rainy day today, I will probably do my planting this weekend. We crossed the Des Moines river going to Goode's and it was full to the brim and flooding in some areas. We have had lots of rain in the last few weeks. I still need to go out to Earl May Garden Center and get my coleus. They didn't have any that hit the spot at Goodes yesterday. This is what I had last year:

DREARY GOOD MORNING

CLYNN   Your Goode boxes look similar to mine  ;) ;) ;)   Looks like Sophie is ready for work  LOL

KAREN   Hydrangeas are pretty hardy and I find they spread.  Actually a nice schedule for the help.  More interesting for them and they don't get bored.  On your end , you make a list and check it twice.. ;) ;)   Good luck with your shot today. Or maybe you have to cancel - no help?

LANI  We will have rain the entire day today.  Can't wait to see my gauge when all done.  Tim has mowed the lawn 3 times already.  Nice not to have to water the veggies  ;) ;)  So indoor chores and a couple errands today.

PHYL   Had that toy!!!  Could win too  LOL  Lots of rain for you too.  Thanks  - I 'll catch the Nat Geo at our library.  " Mallard rumps on a rainy day"  365  ;D  Maybe some will find your retention pond.   Serene flyway..

CLYNN  " Sophie and Bella, my wild girls"  LOL   NG is an over achiever  LOL  Am not sure I will do coleus this year.  I used to put them in my front porch planter but got some begonias last year through a fund raiser and put them there and really liked them so did that again.   I may do a pot of coleus on the back patio along with the impatiens.   Great news for Mom Decorah.  ;D   Wonder if she ever fishes in the pond?

Game called on account of rain - and cold.  Started out at 67 and has been dropping steady since 5 am.

Checked rain at the start yesterday yard stuff tsk and was surprised it was 1 1/2" from Tuesday night and Wed morning.  That was a nice amount, plants need more.  Have friend of Ton's girlfriend helping me out.  God send and good.  Started the veggie garden work.  Now raining again, but the plants are happy sitting out in the rain.  I'm happy too because after mounting the hose reel I found the joining leaked, too. Found washers in Ton's "stuff" to try fix.  Also plan to look today during errands for a new hose link just in case; they're not expensive and I can always get refund. 

Day off will feel good.  Couple errands - then relax and read a couple days' papers.

Puff, I had to buy two new hoses this season. Enjoy your quiet time when errands done.  :)

Lisa, Beautiful flowers....  so far Iris has one egg from NG and one from Louis.. I think she will lay another one in a day or two.

Tsk, This morning our area weather man said we will have a dry monsoon season. No rain... I'm going to pray he's wrong and be hopeful. So enjoy your moisture.... I plant begonias every year in honor of Mike's mom. She loved them and they do so well in pots here.

Clynn, I'm thankful NG is such a great mate and companion for Iris. Soon the melting snow will be churning up the river and fishing will be difficult. Hopefully, that doesn't happen... heartwarming pic of our beautiful Decorah couple and nest. I can't see the little bobblehead, but knowing there is one growing in the nest fulfills all our hopes and dreams for Decorah Mom and DM2.  :-*

LisaG and any others who think I'm running a farm

There's not a lot of anything:  celery, bell peppers, radishes, lettuces, carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, spinach, green beans, beets, zucchini, tomatoes, uups , almost forgot the parsley, flat Italian and curly.  Oregano and basil on the patio.

That's the way they're arranged.  But just as an example, I have 10 (?) different types of tomato, 8 celery that take up about 4 ft x 1 ft and take no care, spinach that is seasoned out by end of June, lots of beans 6 rows, lots of lettuce 7 kinds and a row of each.

Post by: Puff on May 09, 2024, 02:12:00 PM

tsk  Tomatoes run down one of the sides about 10-12 feet long 1 ft wide, stake them up.  Naw, Michael just tastes the crop.  ;D   But it is against their property line; he and wife Julie are known to reach over when they wanted/needed one.  Neighbors on the other side have carte blanc too.  Peter/Rosemarie have to walk all the way across my yard though.   :'(  Peter does use a lot of the basil and oregano, of course he's Italian.  (Made him up a small pot of basil at one point for his patio.  He said mine tasted better.  Yeah sure!    We have a Mantis (small) rototiller.  That used to be Ton's job (Liked another toy to play with).  I did not like turning it over by hand - gladly gave him the honor.  Eventually he tired of it.  We'd find different "doers" through the last few years.  Believe it or not the one who did it this year was a lady who was Ton's barber.  She likes nature, money, and is a regular beautician.  Her boyfriend also comes around asking if we need anything.  Last year he did Christmas 2022 inside and out in honor of Ton.

We've been very lucky - those around us for 50 years now are very nice, considerate, and helpful.  Nice group of neighbors as I've mentioned before.  Darien motto . . . A nice place to live

P

P.S.  Grocery shopping to do now.  Hope noone notices my undone manicure.   :-X

Where's E4E? I hope she and her family are okay. I guess I need to look back to her last few posts and see if I missed her saying she would be away.

Lani, thank you.  :-*  Love the pic of that sweet little sloth - makes me want to reach out and touch.  :-* :-* Hope Mike's time in TX is not in the areas that have suffered from the severe weather there recently! My sister said her son sent her a picture of a large tree limb that fell in his yard, in NC, in yesterday's weather, and said it just barely missed landing on his house. Whew! He's the Dad to the 4 twins.

Clynn, that's a lot of plants! Interesting tan and brown perennial in the blue bucket. I know about cattails and pussy willows, but that varety you found eludes me!  ;) :-* :-*  Yay for Mom Decorah and DM2 and their newest little eaglet!! Hoping for more to come for them, and a healthy and successful season for them all.  :-* Thanks for sharing Sue B's post from Larry and Cindy's observations of their nest and nestling!  :)  (((Iris and NG and NG's egglet, plus fish galore)))

((Karen)), glad you got your shot - why didn't you do both sides this time? I'm hoping it gets better with a little time. Did you get to see your ENT as you had mentioned before? I hope your vertigo is doing better! Stay safe - so much scary weather in FL/GA! You and Piper stay alert and stay safe.  :-*

Phyl, I hope Jim is feeling okay after a couple days back at work, and getting plenty of rest, too. Glad the weather didn't cause any damage at your place, and hope it stays that way!

Tsk, it sounds like you're planning on lots of planting. I've given up on doing lots of plants in pots outside now... but I did get 1 pretty potted geranium this Spring for a front porch planter, and that is it!

Lori, I hope you and your family are safe!

BL, thanks for the links.  :)

Oldguy, glad you and your home are safe from the recent storms so far, and hope it stays that way!

Lisa, your vincas and fern will look nice!



I can't read what must be a very sad story about that beautiful wolf, Axel. Heartbreak hits us in the face many days, ready or not. So I am full up and overflowing on heartbreak right now, and seek more positive and uplifting news to get me through. Prayers for Axel, and those who cared for him.  :-*


Stay safe, All.  :-*

PUFF  You do have a wonderful support group in times of need.  Reward - self help garden  LOL

KAREN   Tim felt like a new man after his injection - but like you say, that was the local anesthetic.  70% improvement during bed time movements.  Now feels he needs another one cuz he isn't "pain free".   I said " don't be such a baby"  ::) ::) ::)  He has a follow up next week I think.  I'm not going with this time.  :-X    But as they say it could take a couple weeks to take full effect.  You've had many before so you know what to expect..

BAZI   LOLOL  " rock paper scissors"  LOLOL    Phew!  Close call for your nephew.  Glad all are safe and bet the kids are getting a kick out of it.     ;D ;D ;D " tan and brown perennial in the blue bucket"    ;D ;D ;D    Every year, I say I'm going to pare down on the plantings.  I have somewhat but I guess I could still do more.  :-\

My Md says it sometimes takes two to feel tip top,  see the in about Zz3 weeks!  On my birthday, actually .  May have another  scheduled
 
Tsk, annuals are so showy that it is sometimes worth the effort!  I  believe in perennials for older folks!  Start with one or two a year , see how they do, add a few more the next year and then just a pot of geraniums, one or two of begonias or impatiens.   Easy peasy!

Puff, that is. Farm!  At least the farmers  home garden!  Do you freeze or can the excess?
Going to get some annuals if it doesn’t rain!  You see, I am not old  yet!  Lolol!

Baz, saw the ent. With a residual of the  vertigo left, after my exercises!  He did a maneuver and it was gone!  I am still  careful-but am enjoying many weeks off the tilt awhirl!
Had a lot of stormy weather to the north of us with  a touch of it coming. Down with wind, dark skys and a little rain!    Now, cooler and less humid!
Supposed to rain tomorrow so we will see!

It looks from the live feed and still images like they have the Linear Shaped Charges ready to go on the bridge span laying on the bow of the M/V DALI.
You can see the black wraps around the charges on the span.

Here's some nitty gritty on how shaped charges are used to cut through huge steel beams like a hot knife through butter:

For explosives demolition in the the USA the Loizeaux family, owners of CDI (https://www.controlled-demolition.com/), really know how to take down a bridge (and a whole lot more) and are one of the best Demo companies in the world.

Some of CDI's bridge demolitions:

Post by: Puff on May 09, 2024, 09:32:08 PM

Oh KarenG you never asked about flowers.  I've got them surrounding the lot.  Some perennial. some annual.  That makes me only half old?  Let me give you a brief tour starting at the front of the house.  On the parkway I have lavenders, heuchera, hardy mum, geranium, yarrow, tall grasses.  All these are planted annuals between several flat, big, stone outcroppings.  I have something most can't have - plantings on the parkway.  I moved in at the early start of the city; you now can only have a tree down there.  I got grandfathered in.  At the front of the house there are 2 pedestal cement planters, this year two colors of petunia colors.  And hanging at the entryway to house/garage, a lobelia and a calichoa (?)  Ohhh, and I forgot all about my pride and joy - the crimson king maple!     

On the south side of house there is a display about 20 feet long of red with gold centers day lillies alternated with lavender.

On the north side overhand and privacy fence I have my begonias.  About a dozen different colors.  Garage wall has the single color bulbs; privacy fence has picotee colored.  They are forced perennials only because I take out and keep the bulbs for the winter (zone problem).  But then I replenish those that died over during season.  Just bag them up with wood shavings in paper sacks.  Replant in the spring - my plan for tomorrow. 

Then there is the back yard (west)  Along with the garden area and my 5 ash trees and a locust tree.  For flowers, most are annuals.  I do have 4 large containers (18") that this year each is planted with a tall red spike, coleus, and ivy.  Among those are some tropical lillies.  On the garage/patio area are two ceramic pots, each with Martha Washington geraniums, and some odds-and-ends hanging pots.  Between each of the ash trees are 5 low bowl planters with mixed vincas. And......ta da!  There is a spot where the 6th ash didn't survive - and to hide the stump that was never dug out - is a 3 foot across planter 1 1/2 foot high,  plastic (phony cement) planter with a Japanese red blood bush centered by ?.   It is surrounded with deep purple and orange I don't- I forget because I ordered them and haven't taken them out yet, only watered them.  Again, on tomorrow's sched.

Directly on the patio are assorted planted things.  Usually an hibiscus, spices, whatevers.

AND that's all!!!! 

Who asked - freeze the garden extras.  No, I only plant veggies because of the delicious flavors/taste/happy taste buds.  You know there's a lot of tomatoes - but I almost never buy store tomatoes.  I'm spoiled!    There is a vacancy during the winter months, but there's always Greek or spinach salads, or coleslaw or chopped salads from fast food places, or lots of good dressings. 

It does take time and effort I know.  It's worth it when my neighbors and friends stop by or call to see if they can have  ....... 

And, in about a month I'll really start enjoying it all for a few months.  Until October I can sit, read, watch my birds, listen to the water fountain, watch the clouds float by.  I love it, sometimes more than other times.  And by the way tsk  or anyone else in the neighborhood, there's an open invitation for anyone to stop and visit the "Self Help Garden". 

Thanks for the name tsk.

karen, no wonder you are up so early! Stay safe!!

BL, thanks for the demo information!

Lani, glad to hear that Mike is safely home. Is the juniper pollen about done? Safe travels to the Valley for you and Mike!

Puff, like Lani said, your neighbors must love you and your garden! You don't plant all of that by yourself do you? Sounds like you have a little bit of everything. Well, actually, a LOT of everything!  You go, girl! You gotta do what makes you happy!

Yellowstone Through The Lens  ·  Larry J. Rogers  · 2 days ago
Good morning from Victor, Idaho, where weather looks iffy for the next couple of hours. We remain in a snowy weather cycle here in the greater Yellowstone/Grand Teton region. Just as we were making the decision to start heading back home, we passed by a small group of Sandhill cranes walking lightly on top of the fresh snow. I'm so glad we didn't just keep driving. Almost always, taking a few extra minutes to get a shot of the common things we see in the parks seems to pay off with a special shot.

I updated my post of GSB-cliff view. If I had been a few seconds quicker, I'd caught Newman in the box.
I went back to chat and looked further in the thread and discovered there's a new female,, U-09.
So I  posted some updates.

Very creative use of a chandelier.

Still experiencing thunderstorms and rain and very dark out for after 8 am!  Tornado warning has expired,  there have been and are winds of 62 to 66 mph in the area.  67,000 without power in Tallahassee!  Trees down in places and blocking roads,  but it could be worse!  Piper has not been out to potty!  She ent out when we first got up , stood on the patio and sniffed the air and ran back in The house!   She said she would wait a few hours!
Have to wait and see if the help is coming!  Depends on the roads and the school opening in her area.  Our schools are open. But did not hear about hers!   I am glad I did not have ti get out and go to work earlier this am!
The recycled chandelier is awesome!
Bridge work in Baltimore is very interesting and  opening the harbor is truly important.   Thanks all for info!

Lisa, optional on both sides but the majority of my pain is in the middle and to the left!  That is where I got the shot!   Feel ok this morning. Glad there was no stormy weather when you  crossed the bridge!
Robin has a new post on Facebook on a trip to
 Decorah!  Have to go back and read it!

Local news reporting a lot of storm damage in Tallahassee.

tig - Glad you heard from E4E, and that she is OK.  :)

karen - I looked at radar this morning when you mentioned tornadoes.  There was a big red/orange cell passing over Tallahassee at the time.  I can imagine there was some storm damage.  I read the Decorah post from Robin...yay for Mom & DM2!  I am glad you are feeling OK this morning after shot.

Minnehaha Falls The result of our spring rains!

Glad to hear E4E is fine...

Busy again, watered in grass seed, washed outside windows with windex outdoor hose hook up for high windows. All but one do pull inward from the inside but doing this first gets a good start...insecticide poofer around the foundation of the house.

I suspect it might be a big bug year with all our rain this summer....Chris has a big case of arachnophobia.

Hi Beakers and Happy Friday!

So sorry for not mentioning that I was taking a little break from being on my computer very much because of obligations and just trying to keep up with cleaning & chores around house & yard.  I am with my mom quite a bit with helping her take care of her personal affairs on line as she does not have a computer (neither does my sister-only a smart phone).  She was in the hospital a few days ago, but only for a day and got to go home.  She is okay though.  Sis & I are taking turns in driving her to PT (as I'm sure most of you know that my mom no longer drives).
Plus, just going to our Grandson's baseball games, getting together with our friends and taking day trips here & there - the days fly by so quickly.

Whenever I miss signing into the Beak for a couple of days, it is so hard to catch up! So, the more I fell behind, the harder it was to get back in here! Lol!

I know everyone here has obligations and family too, and I don't know how you all do it and you still keep up in the Beak! :-[

Thank you to the folks who inquired about me, and to those that sent me PMs!! ;D   I will try to communicate much better  :)   Everyone has been nice to me and please know that no one here has hurt my feelings or upset me in any way whatsoever! :)

Thank you for putting up with me! :)

I have been regularly checking in on the DNN family!

Hi E4E  ;)
Rest day for me, in between yard werk days.

Baltimore is socked in with rain n fog today. Not certain , but, they invited the media to be there Saturday between 5 and 5:30. All is fluid, but that might be the shaped charge demolition time.

Thanks loads for the update. We all know how daunting Life can be. And, to be sure, you've been a very busy gal.

Ahhhhh. The DNN family. "The Kids' are really growing and developing unique personalities.

Kind regards to your mom and sis. They are in my prayers---in all our prayers, always.
Luv the hummer today.

E4E, so glad to hear all is well with you and that Mom is okay. Yes, life gets busy! I would say to you, don't worry about trying to catch up in the Beak and comment on everything. No one is going to beat on you or feel slighted if you don't comment on every post! Just start fresh and tell us what is going on so that we know you are okay! It is hard work trying to keep up all the time, we all need a break once in a while!

kb, the Minnehaha is wild today!

In 1960, David Latimer planted a spiderwort sprout inside of a large glass jar, added a quarter pint of water, and then sealed it shut. He opened the bottle for the first time only 12 years later, in 1972, to add some water and then sealed it for good.
The self-contained ecosystem flourished for more than 60 years as a perfectly balanced garden and self-sufficient ecosystem.
The bacteria in the compost ate the dead plants and broke down the oxygen released, turning it into carbon dioxide, essentially forming a microcosm of Earth.

Still experiencing thunderstorms and rain and very dark out for after 8 am!  Tornado warning has expired,  there have been and are winds of 62 to 66 mph in the area.  67,000 without power in Tallahassee!  Trees down in places and blocking roads,  but it could be worse!  Piper has not been out to potty!  She ent out when we first got up , stood on the patio and sniffed the air and ran back in The house!   She said she would wait a few hours!
Have to wait and see if the help is coming!  Depends on the roads and the school opening in her area.  Our schools are open. But did not hear about hers!   I am glad I did not have ti get out and go to work earlier this am!
The recycled chandelier is awesome!
Bridge work in Baltimore is very interesting and  opening the harbor is truly important.   Thanks all for info!
Enjoying all the morning reports!    My little house finch remains safe under the protection of the front porch roof!

((Karen)), glad you and Piper are safe, and no damage reported at your place - hope it stays that way! I have been watching all the seriously severe weather going through your area and the FL panhandle - lots of damage in Tallahassee, and other areas - 84 mph wind around there, and many places, like yours, with 62+ mph winds. Loads of power outs, too. Glad you have yours, and hope you keep it. I watched on the Weather Channel (they even showed a live cam in your town!), and was hoping you were okay! Glad the ENT appt went well, and he was able to give you a tune-up to rid the remaining vertigo. Hope it stays gone! Glad you got your shot, and hope, as you noted earlier, that relief will be more apparent in the coming days. Hope your help is safe, and can come to assist you after the stormy weather has passed through her area and yours. Anyone who drove to work during those tornado warnings would be doing it wrong.  :o.

Bought some red and yellow portulaca ( moss rose)for a strawberry jar and 2 lime green  coleus with dark red veins!  Very pretty and bright.  Putting them in a vacant space at the corner of the garagE

TIG  Thanks Eagles is OK

KB  Good start on the windows.  It could be overwhelming .  Wish I had the pull in kind.  I wouldn't have to hire for the outside.

EAGLES  LOL  We are in quite a rhythm here  ;D ;D  We check in on our missing puzzle pieces  :-* :-*  Sometimes for all of us, life gets in the way.  Thanks for checking in - You have a lot on your plate.

CLYNN  WOW  David Latimer's spiderwort sprout ecosystem  :o :o   Cool rte 66 photo

Tim and I walked 90 minutes at the botanic garden this AM.  Tulips done but lots of other things to see..

The truck came in to Jewel this AM so got all my 10" hanging pots for only $15 each..  ;D ;D ;D

Went to 2 nurseries and could find nothing different in coleus other than the regular stuff.

E4E, good to hear from you! Glad to hear that all is well, except for your Mom having to be in the hospital, but glad to hear she is home and okay now. It's good to take a break when you feel like it! And I completely understand your not having time to read and post when you have so much going on, too. The same happens to me, and I have sometimes missed 10 days to 2 weeks, or more, in The Beak, and never ever could read it all to catch up. LOL. I will say what some Beakers told me those times - Don't worry about trying to catch up on reading many days of posts! Just hop back in when you can and pick up from there! Glad you're enjoying spending time with family and getting out and about, and taking care of things around home, too!  Take care, and just pop in when you can... we'll be here when you do!  :)  Hugs!  :) :-*

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

I hope all in the path of serious weather stay safe!

Tsk, nice for you and Tim to get out for a long walk at the botanic garden! Glad Tim is feeling better after his shot, too!

Clynn, that spiderwort plant and container, and the pic of it, are very, very, very cool!

Lani, glad Mike got home okay. So much of Texas has been hit so hard with heavy rains, and severe storms and tornadoes, too.

Lisa, the Mobile area got hit with all that same stormy and severe weather system that went through the FL panhandle, and Karen's area today. I hope your family there are all safe, with no damage to homes or cars. Lots of hail in some places, too, I saw.



I walked 25 minutes this morning. Yay!  :D  It was the 1st time in quite a few days - since my knee acted up and got progressively worse. Ahhh... it felt good to get out!  Kept it easy, and not very long. Have not needed to wrap my knee today either. It has held up well. Yay! I even did 2 long routes through 2 different big grocery stores this afternoon! My knee is only a tad sore after that, so that's a good thing!

Everyone's flowers and garden plantings sound so nice and pretty!  :)

Stormy weather is coming in my direction now, so I'm going to wrap this up and unplug my computer.

Take care, and have a good evening, All!

It's FRIIIIDAY!  Kick back and relax some, Beakers!  The 1st round is on me  :) ... take your pick... They all come in "high test" and "virgin" versions. So choose your favorite cocktail, or mocktail, and enjoy!  :D

karen - Jeff's uncle lives in Jacksonville, and a tree from his yard fell on his boat with that storm this morning. 

clynn - Love the pic of Historic Route 66

tig - It's a nasty rainy/chilly day here in Maryland. 

E4E - Ditto what clynn said!  It is hard to catch up when days go past here in the Beak, so start fresh when you can.  I am sorry to hear about your mom being in the hospital.  Prayers for her.  Happy to see you post!

Lani, good to hear that Mike will be home for a couple of weeks, hope he gets a good rest! Hugs to you and the Furkids! Hope you had a good dinner with Shannon, how is she doing? Great Simon!

kb, I don't get inspiration from the man diving into the water, I was scared for him! Glad someone was out there to get him back in... he was not very steady! Which goes with being 106! He is very brave, not me...  ;D

Lisa, your Mom is an optimist and can't sit still! I am sure she is the first one out after the siren stops! Some people just can't sit still!

baz, glad you were able to get a walk in, sounds like your knee did well! I'll have a rum & coke, well, actually rum and pepsi...  ;D

Started streaming on May 9, 2024  NORDENS ARK
On April 9th, four little Pallas’s cat kittens were born at Nordens Ark. The cubs born blind are initially totally dependent on their mother and stay in the den. It will take some weeks before they’ll start to explore the enclosure. But for now, you can follow life in the den via live camera.

Nordens Ark is a non-profit organisation who works to ensure a future for endangered species

Happy Saturday all.

Beautiful day here, unfortunately, I have to shop for food, LOL..

Clynn - for me if I was 106 and wanted to jump in the water, I would want my children to support me in that.

The son does say, it's up to you Dad and they were all totally there for him.

Reminds me of my grandma who took a hot air balloon ride on her 90th birthday. Supported and paid for by her children as she wanted that.

Whatever you want Grandpa or Grandma if you live to be 106!

tsk - In answer to your question yesterday about the city's rule on my parkway landscaping. . . It was put in about 1980; the ordinance was written/passed about 75/76.  What the new rule didn't specify was when the rule apply to; i.e. when the rule was in effect, wasn't mentioned that I purchased under 1971 ordinances.  It wasn't applicable post purchase.  They than in 1976 modified the ordinance to "property purchased from 1976 forward" that would be valid.

Two caveats, however, modified that.  In case of a drainage problem, if the work disturbed existing sewers/landscaping/or my design, the city would not be liable for restoring except as they deemed necessary.  The other exception/condition was related to my mailbox.  One winter, while our street was being cleared of a deep snow.  They, the city, being caretakers of the city streets, used a city backhoe to plow, lift back, and toss the mailbox.   :o   They took responsibility and repaired/fixed it.  And then for the following winter they instituted a limit on their liability.  I believe it is now $200 for all in the city work.  The mailbox has been "taken out, taken down" down now 4 times.  No, others have accidentally damaged it (postal delivery truck, young girl backing down street in a hissy fit, and last time pickup truck doing a 3-point turnaround.   BTW last year, was $860.  There is no reasonable reason that it should/can be over-looked.  It stands the typical 5 feet, all black brick with white cement and a white cap.  And it has front and back opaque white panels with lighting from the inside at night.  Very hard to not spot.  Twice the "battery of the box" was done at night! 

Phyl I, too, found that hanging chandelier/planter nicely done and ingenious.

tig - Thanks for the info on bridge.  It is a nice day here today.

Lani - Miss Fisher's favorite fan...there is no stopping her!  She just told me yesterday, that she needed something else to do, since her lil work from home job was getting slow.  She has decided to do Door Dash and Uber Eats.  My brother and SIL said, she is not allowed to do it at night, only the day.

clynn - You are right, Mama cannot sit still.  Love the pic of the heart shaped kitties. Great pic of Iris and the Norwich peregrines!

All annual planting is done - Miscounted my ageratum so had to run for 8 more.  Total time 9:30 to 1:45.  Now resting for an hour and will get cleaned up to go see my "Broadway star to be" great niece in another musical with this "on the side company- Ovation" she has been with for years.  I will need the rest  LOLOL

HAPPY CATURDAY, BEAKERS!  :D

 ;D


I walked 27 minutes this morning. My bum knee is only very slightly sore today - so not a problem. Yay!  :)

My boyfriend won his 1st round tennis match in Rome 2 days ago, but lost his 2nd round match today. Boo hoo. It is his last time playing in Rome, where he has won more matches than any other player, and has been Champion there 10 times. Another goodbye tour tournament done for him... one that he loved playing so much. I wish he could've had a better result, but the player who beat him is ranked 7 in the world, so he is no slouch! It's a wait-and-see if my boyfriend will play at Roland Garros, the French - 1 of the 4 majors, that he has won 14 times, a record that most think may possibly never be beaten. He is considered the greatest clay court tennis player of all time.  :-* :-*



Tig, I was going to comment on another player's match today, but I know you follow her, and I don't know if you've seen that match yet, so mum's the word.  ;)

Lani, I'm glad Mike gets to stay put at home while working for a couple of weeks, and maybe get more relaxation and rest. Nice that Shannon was able to come for dinner last night - did y'all cook something on the grill? LOL on your poker playing cats - yep, Oldguy better be on the lookout at his game tonight if any of them show up. Ringers, for sure!  ;D ;D

Oldguy, watch out for any of Lani's card shark cats slinking around your card table tonight - they're ringers, for sure, so hold on to your chips!!   ;) ;D ;D

Lisa, your mom is a hoot!!! Well you surely came by your love of driving honestly! It must be in the genes!!  :D :D ;)

Phyl, sorry your fav wasn't sitting ready on the bar at Happy Hour last night... Try something different, maybe... after one, you won't care!   ;D ;D ;)

KB, if I live to be 106, I might BASE jump off West Virginia's New River Gorge Bridge on Bridge Day!!   8)

https://officialbridgeday.com/ - Bridge Day, New River Gorge

Puff, I want some vine-ripened "maters" this summer! Hope you have a bountiful crop!

BL, fish on wid yer bad se'f!  Duck, Pip!!  ;D

Clynn, those Norwich eyasses look like fluffy stuffed animals!  ;) :D :-* :-*  Iris looks like she's thinking, "Ahhh... this is more like it!"  :) :-* :-*  Has anyone discovered Sophie's escape route to the roof yet? LOL, keep her busy with her water bowl!  ;) :D  I fell victim in the store yesterday to a BOGO on Tillamook Ice Cream - got the Caramel Toffee Crunch - thought about you! It was divine!

TSK, oh boy! Your great niece has a new production for you to go to! Did she get the lead, by chance? Have fun! I can't wait to see her at The Tony's!! And maybe in a play on Broadway! :D

Karen, did you get your portulaca put out yet?

E4E, hope you and Kris are enjoying the weekend!  :)



Most of the heavy yellow pollen has done it's thing here now, so today I finally washed down my front porch rockers and side table.  I'm heading out there in a bit with a bowl of popcorn and a cold one.  ;) :D

Have a good evening, All!   :)

I don't recall any other downed boxes - some upgraded the box by choice.  Our block+ group all have a post with the box on the top.  Some have pipe/wood/plastic posts. 

I looked for a pic I posted way way back of the front of the house, Tony sitting in his supervising chair - but at the side of the driveway I do believe there was the mailbox.  You all know what I mean "too many pics"     :-\

FYI... It appears, as of an hour ago, that the weather has pushed the FSK bridge span demo to Sunday. Maybe.

Tig As of 6 PM EDT they have rescheduled the demolition to 05/12/24 between 4:00 - 7:30 PM EDT.

I checked the marine weather forecast for Baltimore Harbor at that time and I don't think they'll do it at the above time either. Monday would be my guess.

BAZ ... Tnx. Sorry about your guy. I watched some. I usually record, but I did watch her match live today. I think she is secretly from MN... the way she gives me a "heart attack" ... LOL ( like our sports teams ).
After that... I mowed a portion of the lawn and spent a good amount of time cleaning the mower.
Camper did some mowing and is now off getting the car washed and is bringing a brisket and blue cheese salad home for me from Famous Dave's. Yum!
Earlier today I sprayed weeds in the front lawn and watered the annuals, and did some chores indoors.
I'm done in for today. Looking forward to the game tomorrow....

Oh... And, I get to take the heart monitor off at midnight! Yay!  And then maybe step outside to look for the northern lights.

Hope I live long enough to see her get leads and to know what happens after high school where she is a freshman now.
She's in the ensemble so was singing and dancing in EVERY scene!!!  I was exhausted.  As a freshman, you don't get many leads.

Well, having a coffee and ending a day that has gone by and I cannot tell you that I accomplished anything!  Planted one of two  dragon heart coleous but wilk have to dig it up and start over!  Going to order a new shovel tomorrow!  I know what to do and how to do it but I am afraid the  body does not cooperate!  Standing on one foot is not good!  Shovel does help!   Going to try tomorrow!  Lol. Did clean the pot for the moss rose! 
Noticed someone in the backyard of my backyard neighbor!  While talking over the fence noticed it was falling down!  She said her cousin was coming to fix it!  He did and  i found my gate handle  is broken!  Have to call the man who rebuilt it to see if he will fix it!  Played with Piper.   A little bit of  nothing! 
Weather was perfect!   Read the beak!  Lisa, your morning Kitty is adorable!
Lani, nice for you to see .shannon!   Glad Mike  is home for a spell?   Phyl, give Jim a hug!   Tsk, you are as busy as Lisa’s Mamma!  Lolol!  Door Dash!   On the whole, like mother like daughter?
Clynn, how did the planting go?  I know better than mine! Lol!  Probably like Tsk!   Baz, you remind me of, these boots are made for

Hi Lori, Og, Bl  :)

We've had a nice family weekend so far; Hubby's brother came over for dinner yesterday and stayed the night - leaving at 1pm today.  Then, at 1:30, my mom & sis came over and we had our little Mother's day celebration together.  We had a chicken bbq.

KAREN  What a frustrating day for you.  :o  Did you try and plant that coleus in the ground and not a pot?   Today will be a better day.

EAGLES   Good to have you here this AM.  Today is your Mother's Day  ;D

OLDGUY   I went to check something out on Friday at another nursery in the area.  Even if I had found what I was looking for I would not have bought it - About 20 shopping carts waiting to check out  LOLOL  Busy time of the year.   Quite a phenomena happening in Iceland.  :(    Crazy kayak story.  I would love to have been that fly on the gunnel  LOL   Cats singing  ;D   The cats certainly don't seem to mind the hedgehogs - Santi

BL   HUGE pine cone  :o   You have amazing access to fishing spots.  16 pounder  :o

I walked 34 minutes this morning. It's another pretty day in the neighborhood! When I got back from my walk, Mother and Father (Canada) Goose and their 4 little yellow wiggle-butts were walking around and looking for bugs in the grass next to the retention pond.  :) :-* :-*  They weren't the same family I saw trying to cross the street the other day.  ;) :)


Clynn and Phyl and BL, nice throwback pics!  :)

E4E, fun time with family!  :)

Karen, that was very thoughtful of Piper! Yum, I love a rib eye steak! Enjoy, and stay upright!  ;) :D

KB, interesting frog. Stay inside today, and leave the wildfire smoke outdoors. Maybe the wind direction will change soon and the air quality will improve.

TSK, LOL, your great niece wore you out being in the ensemble in every scene af her musical performance! You're so lucky to live close enough to get to see and enjoy her doing what she loves, and doing it so well, too!  :)

Lani, have you looked for the aurora in your night sky this week yet? I saw photos of the current magnetic storm's pretty Northern Lights that were seen and photographed 2 nights ago in Arizona. I went out to look last night in my low northern sky (as recommended), but that is the direction that our busy downtown nightlife is, and so there is too much light in the sky, I think, even if the aurora were visible here. I would need to drive to a more open location with less light in the sky. But the stars were bright and pretty over my head in my night sky!

Hi Paulie!!  :)

Lori, I hope you and Destini are getting along okay, and your mom, too, on Mother's Day!  :)

Oldguy, congrats and a fun night of winning at cards!

Tig, Coco Gauff has those weird sets sometimes that just make no sense at all! LOL, but she came out on top! Yay!  :)  And, Yay for getting to take off the monitor now!  :)

((Lisa)), that's awful about the tree landing on Jeff's uncle's boat! Is it fixable?

Puff, I found a post you made in August of last year in the archived Beak Room section, referencing your mailbox picture, but you actually posted the picture of your mailbox before 2023 according to that post you made, so I couldn't locate the photo of it for you - those archives only go back to January of 2023 for the Beak Room. But I remember when you posted that picture! Maybe you need to put a motion detector on your mailbox that flashes lights and sounds a loud siren whenever anyone's vehicle gets too close!! LOLOL!! Just kidding...  ;)  ;) ;) ;D

Waving to All the Beakers! Enjoy your day!  :) :-*



I gotta go for now...  :D

LANI  Great Mother's Day post  ;)

BAZI  I'm kind of the family representative to the Oak Park kids adventures.  One grandpa and grandpa live in Green Bay and the other in Door county.  On the Dad's side the grandparents live in Grand Rapids Mi.   I live 30 min away  LOLOL   In the past, we have all been together but illnesses and difficulties driving have changed those events.  Nowadays tho videos can be made so that is a help.

KAREN   Thanks for the look back  ;D

tig - Glad to hear you are done with the monitor.  Ohh, 86 is too hot the be mowing. 

karen - What a great pic from 1939.  Glad to hear there was no falls in putting the coleus in the ground. 

baz - Good job on the walk.  Jeff's uncle did post that the boat is fixable.

Good Night, everyone  :)

LisaG I do also have a large collection of CA big pine cones.  They are in a wicker basket at the base of the fireplace downstairs.  They got "imported" on a trip we did to San Fran for a wine cruise down the Napa River.  Driving through the Redwood areas you see the cones.  Don't know if there was a ordinance, we gathered some up anyway.  I bought a cardboard storage box 2' x 4' and layered them out - checked the box as luggage.  I always start to wonder at what the security xray personnel thought when they saw that when it passed thru.   LOLOL

Did a long day outside today, 10 - 3.  Took it real easy.  Lots of breaks  -- lots of looooooong breaks.  I do a little bit I'll do again tomorrow.  But, I have a dinner meeting so I'll be short.  I'm estimating about 3 more days of aches and pains. 

Lots of cars/visitors on the block for mother's day, or grandmothers' day for our group.  Hope you all had a nice, fun day.  Lots of memories to pop back up.

Glad you researched tsk and found that old mailbox pic.  I found it too.  But with this new machine and new programs I just couldn't get it to copy to send or scan.  And, since Darien has gone into the rules and regulations habit they no doubt have a rule against the siren setup.   ;D

I hope I'm back inside tomorrow to get some time in watching the Key Bridge procedures.

Back tomorrow - have a pleasant evening all.

Just got back  home a couple of hours ago.


LISA- just went back to re-read your Sat. post. Yikes! Jeff's uncle is very fortunate tree missed the house. Glad the boat
is  safely repairable and  not total loss.

TSK- your great niece is greatly talented.  Does she have aspirations in the' performing arts' ?  Good performances always leave
one 'breathless'. What you said is true of a lot of families nowadays

BAZ- cheery yellow posies today. When are you gonna post a baby photo? 

KAREN- very nice nostalgia for today. Relieved there were no 'accidents' in the garden today

OG-many thanks for the Mother's Day wishes. And, I did have a wonderful day.



Good Night Everyone...SEDs.  🙏 's

Hi Baz, We missed seeing the aurora Friday night. Then the skies have been cloudy the last two nights. We had smoky skies at night because of the Wolfe fire to the north of us... awww mama goose and babies.... love the cat with the straw hat. Too cute!

Karen, wonderful family photo, special memories.

Since I love museums and history---For Mother’s Day  we went to
The Frist Museum for the Visual Arts , downtown  Nashville.
We toured the soon closing exhibition ‘Monuments and Myths’

https://fristartmuseum.org/exhibition/monuments-and-myths/

Here are a few of the   several snaps I took serving as  my mementos.

Apologize for the angle of the 'note' on the Victory model.  But that was how it positioned when uploaded .
And, wouldn't rotate.

Went back  home and  since it was Mother’s Day celebration  we dressed for the occasion. And, had  very nice dinner at Nashville’s Union Station.
https://stationairynashville.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw0YGyBhByEiwAQmBEWmeaHanVt9ci4tvuM9P-92otaz9WJSnJtltcf9ak4Zw5F_S-I9-alRoCVkkQAvD_BwE

https://www.unionstationhotelnashville.com/

We each had -shrimp cocktail with our favorite cocktail drinks
Jim- short rib
Me-Ora King Salmon

On the way  out, Jim noticed a couple he had flown corporate for Mars Pet Care as their Chief Pilot in their Flight Dept.
So we stopped by their table, as invited, we sat and chatted and had another cocktail. 
It was so nice to catch up.

Royal Albatross  :-*

Northern Royal Albatross Chick Goes On Walkabout In New Zealand | DOC | Cornell Lab – May 10, 2024

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkxfz9b4yMo

May 10, 2024  #endangeredspecies #newzealand #wildlife
At 100 days old, the Northern Royal Albatross chick from the Top Flat nest goes on a walkabout to explore the headland. As the chicks get older, they begin to wander further and further from their nest sites. They may even venture to areas out of view from the camera for periods, but they won't stray too far from their natal nest at this age.

After that look from TFT's mom BOK, TF thought he'd just mosey on right over there to this nest. BOK will bit other chicks, especially TF. She does not like him.

Good Morning!  Rain today!  Good for my two plants ans keeping the portulaca  nice pending planting!  Wish I could share with Lani!
Clynn, Erin is growing something on his face!  Lolol!   Bella  is quite the fashionista with her red glasses.  Love the peace sign!
Lisa, hope Jeffs uncle has insurance on his boat!   Glad it was not the house!
Phyllis, nice day for you and Jim! The  train depot is interesting and a big connection to my mother’s family thru her railroad working  father!  As Clynn posted there is a large Lincoln  historical  memorial in Springfield!
Interesting to visit the Fords theater in DC  should  you get the opportunity to visit there!
Gloomy lights on day!   No complaints but will have to find an in door  project which should not be too hard!
Iris seems content and at least Louis is not interfering!
Lori, hope you had a good day!
Lani. Great picture of the aurora borealis.  Good luck with the repair

Tsk, surprised you are that far from Oak Park!   My picture with the othopedic shoes was taken there!  Lol.

P

Puff,  ???   ;)   Sorry, but I did NOT find your mailbox picture! I said I found where you posted in August 2023 about your mailbox, but not with a picture at that time.  You said in August 2023 that you had posted a picture of your mailbox the year before - that would have been back in 2022. The reason I could not find your mailbox picture you posted in 2022 is because the Archives for the Beak Room do not go back to before January of 2023.  But I remember that picture! I'm glad you found it though, and sorry you're having trouble trying to post it again. Oh pooh!  :D

baz - Good walk!

karen - That looked like a nasty system heading E. 

oldguy - Thanks for the video. 

Beakers - Please say a lil prayer for my Mama.  I do not know all the details yet, or how my mama is doing.  But my brother called me a lil bit ago and said, that he was notified by Life360 that there was a hard fall.  He tried to call my Mama, and no answer, so he asked the neighbor to check on her.  She was unconscious with no pulse at the door.  She must have fell.  The neighbor called 911, they tried to talk him thru CPR till the ambulance got here.  Brother said, they got a pulse but still unconscious.  He and SIL were 3 hrs away heading home from doing a college campus tour with nephew.  He should be getting to the hospital soon.  They took her by ambulance, but that is all we know so far.  I tried to call, but they won't tell me anything, other than they took my number, but it did not sound confident they would call me back to let me know what is going on.

Good Morning Beakers

Thank you all for the kind words for my Mama. 

This is what happened and what I know so far from my brother and SIL.  I talked to Mama yesterday around noon my time, and she heading back home from the bank.  Later that afternoon my brother calls and says that he got a notification from Mama's watch on Life 360 of a hard fall.  He and SIL tried to call her phone and no answer.  They called the neighbor and asked them to go over and check on her.  They neighbor called him back and told him, Mama looks like she had fallen and is in awkward position and is not conscious and has no pulse.  Brien called 911, and they neighbor tried to do CPR till ambulance got there.  Ambulance got there, they got a pulse on her, but she remained unconscious.  They took her to hospital and did some scans on her.  They said, when she fell she either fractured or broke her cervical spine or spine. She is still unconscious and not breathing on her own. 

Bradley and I are walking out the door in 5 minutes to drive down there.

10:48, 5/14 Iris chooses to use her strong beak to lift off with the fish. She must have switched mid-air to her foot because she landed on the Owl Pole with fish in talon. She stays a bit but flies again mostly likely to her favorite perch.

What an exciting spring this has been for Iris at the Hellgate nest!  It seemed like there would be a repeat of the previous four breeding seasons, with Iris mating with Louis, laying eggs, but since she did not have any help, she eventually got so hungry she had to leave the eggs unprotected to go catch a fish.  Almost instantly ravens swooped in and ate the eggs.
But "NEW GUY" - an unattached male showed up, courted Iris and she accepted him.  They quickly formed what is looking like a very strong pair bond.  But when Iris laid her first egg of the season, NEW GUY quickly threw it out of the nest.  (More on that interesting behavior later!). 
Before giving a proper name to NEW GUY, we wanted to wait to make sure that he was going to be a dedicated mate.  After Iris laid her second and third eggs, NEW GUY has turned into a wonderful partner for Iris - bringing in lots of fish, giving her breaks to go off on her own, incubating, and bringing in sticks and softer material for lining the nest.
So now we need your help giving NEW GUY a better name!  We have come up with a short list of names that seem appropriate.  If you are interested, please follow this link for more information on the names and cast your vote!

https://hubs.la/Q02w-QMz0

We will close the voting in one week, on Monday, 20 May 2024 at midnight (Hellgate nest time).  We will announce NEW GUY'S official name the next day, on Tuesday, 21 May 2024!
Thanks!  Erick Greene and the Hellgate Osprey Team!

Direct message from Lisa:

"Can you please update the Beak?  This is what I know so far from brother throughout the day while driving.  They said mama had a heart attack and a pulmonary embolism in her lungs which caused all of this.  The doctors know I am on the way but won't be there till tomorrow and they are saying it's getting harder on her body to keep resuscitating her.  I told Brien if they have to let her go I would rather her go in peace"

Next note  "The rain has been horrible.  The whole way we are only in North Carolina.  We're gonna try to get on the other side of Atlanta and spend the night there.  That's only about four hours if we get up early in the morning and leave to head there.  She is in ICU so only certain visiting hours."

Happy Birthday KB

This floral birthday cake may look good enough to eat, but don't—it's actually crafted from fresh flowers such as mini carnations and poms!

I thought about not posting at all today to keep the space open for her, but:

My birthday is always tempting to be sad for myself without my dear husband, Scott, as he always made it so special.

So, wanting to thank you for acknowledging my day on such a sad day.

BL. Thanks for One for the Road  :)

Oldguy, thanks for bio  of JJ Cale. It's a new name for me.

Eagle-Duck's link to the Beak candle Room had changed. So, I had to resign into the Beak Candle Room three or four months ago.
There are some changes in this new room. Sometimes you can see the 2nd page or not. I have two pages of candles lit.

When you click the link into the room. You will see the below words posted on the top page.
To light a candle, please click on the word "here" and it will take you to light a new candle.
Fill in your name, etc. Follow direction to light your candle and it will be the first one on top of the first page.
The other lit candles will move one over. It will not take you to another page. That arranges itself automatically now.
Also, the candles stay on longer that it did before.

Vigil: Beak Room
A place where we support 100 people from across the United States

Click here to light a candle and add your own intention.

Good night! Thinking of Lisa's mama, Lisa and family.

Good morning Beakers

Thank you again for all the kind words and thoughts.
 We finally made it to just outside Atlanta around 10pm last night. Google says 4 hrs 33 min to Mobile from where I am. Have talked to my brother several times along the way yesterday. Last thing he said was the doctors told him that they could do some kind of surgery on mama to remove those clots in her lungs, but that won’t keep her from being in the vegetative state she is in.

Kb- Happy Belated Birthday 🥳
I hope it was a good one for you.

I'm glad to hear Dr. Green has decided Iris's New Guy (NG) is now deserving of a more personal name. I haven't decided which name I like best - after reading the meanings behind each one, I like them all!  :) :-*


Phyl, thanks for that link about Challenger. It's great to see he is still getting along so well!

TSK, that stained glass cats puzzle that Clynn posted for you looks like a really good one! I hope you'll enjoy working on it, even though it's more pieces than you usually work.

BL, JJ Cale was a regular spinning on my turntable - I just about slam wore the grooves out! Thanks for the links.

OG, thanks for the bio, too.


Take care, All.  :)

some bounce
With Camper's help I finished some more yard werk. And while he was at his discount movie I measured a new piece of netting for the service berries in the garage (where there is no wind).
Resting now and catching up on tennis. I watch the recording in fast forward, for a myriad of reasons... unless it is Coco. I watch most sports that way. I only watch a smothering of basketball and prefer to watch it live.
The clique won't say... Which is ok. Best not to gossip. But, I'm very observant. My best guess is one person said something a bit too suggestive to another. Not sure if they offended party took it to management or not.

CLYNN   Yes it seems surreal to have Lisa's Mom gone and not hear about all her adventures anymore.   WOW  That is a lot of annual planting.  I love dusty miller as it lasts into winter.  :)  You did a good job.  It looks beautiful.   NG is a very competent provider.  :)

Phyl, very unique vase in your good morning pic! Thanks for Amy's Blog, we get to see the vultures this year! I bet willi can't wait!  ;D  I had to look up the cistude, aka European Pond Turtle, in the 365. We learn new things every day! Fog on the Flyway...79 and sunny here today.  The North kids look wet and waiting for breakfish to be delivered!

tsk, there are a couple of rows of perennials, and about 2/3 of the dusty millers are from last year. They come back in the spring and I plant a few new ones around the old. Did all of the perennials you planted last year (or was it the year before?) take hold?

Million Dollar Highway is not for the faint of heart. It’s Part of the San Juan Skyway Colorado Scenic Byway near Ouray, Colorado. Forget standard driving safety measures like guardrails and shoulders, there aren’t any on this stretch, so swerving off the road is not advised. 😲

CLYNN  I haven't planted any new backyard yard perennials in years because of the milkweed takeover.  Barb gave me some of her thinned out black eyed susans this spring to replace the ones the deer ate last year for the first time EVER!..  I have those covered with cheesecloth now.  You may be referring to the new front yard landscaping we had done - now 3 years ago. Boy time flies.  All perennials have survived and are doing well along with the globe arborvitae.    I didn't realize dusty miller can reseed itself   :o  I plant new each year.  ???    I'll take a pass, thank you, on the million dollar hwy.. :o :o

PHYL   Yes, the exhibit was very interesting.  Only sad part was on three of the cases of information the lighting wasn't working so you couldn't read it.  No bathrooms in the building either so Tim had to walk out in the mall and make a few turns  LOLOL  In Chicago they combined with it the Sinking of the Eastman in the Chicago river - Called it the Chicago Titanic.  Of course we sauntered over to the Cheesecake Factory for some nourishment.  ;) ;)

tsk - that's too bad. It was an adorable husky laying on a woman who was very pregnant. You know how dogs tilt their heads/ears when they hear something/sense something. The husky was very intent on the baby in Mommie's tummy. too cute.

It's easy to say but hard to do, but you and Bradley must also take care of yourselves in this very difficult time.

All here in the Beaker have you, your family and all in 'Mama's' orbit that she touched in our prayers.

Irma will solve her next big mystery in heaven and in peace.   :-*

Now I want to join the The Adventuresses’ Club and be a fly on the wall on that eve in this place at that time.

I spent a week one night there.
 
Adventuresses' Club of the Americas.

It is with profound sadness that we share with you the passing of Irma Martin. As this year's Chair of the Con Committee, she was a diligent lobbyist and passionate champion for New Orleans; Whether you knew her from attending previous Miss Fisher Cons, ACotA Slack rewatches, or any of the various social media platforms, you knew her to be kind, charming, curious, and up for anything.

She truly embodied the spirit of an Adventuress and we will miss her deeply.

We will be celebrating her in true NoLa fashion at the Con in a way we feel she would have appreciated.

This morning Iwill get the big copper tub planted with the red, white and blue, Ed and Kelsey got it moved last evening.  I bet Lisa and Bradley are already on the road this morning. Bradley misses Sydney! And Lisa misses Jeff. What a week for them...

Phyl, good thing the turtle egg was white or we might have missed it! Good 365! 55 here, high 84 with abundant sunshine! Great article on the Monarchs and their migration! I never knew that it was that complicated and miraculous!

BL, great pictures of Lisa's Mom and thanks for the words from the Adventuresses’ Club, Irma was an adventurous woman!  Thanks for the Cat Stevens! Love, love his music!

Lani, dang that migraine. Good idea to check your vision, I need to make an appointment with my optometrist. The blurry vision in my left eye is driving me crazy, I want to make sure the vision in my right eye with my glasses is still good. You are so right, Sydney's eyes for sure come from her Dad, her Grandma Lisa and her Great Grandma Irma!

Morning all:

My overachieving snowball viburnum below: It's pruned every year and still. Blossoms not yet fully open.

The area missing some rock is where my huge willow once stood. Storms took it down.

Now, the chipmunks have invaded it's root structure...I'm having Andrew bring a yard and half of rock and lay it out as I keep thinking I'll trip where it's sunken...other areas need rock as well. In June.

Clynn - I plant alyssum front and back basically everywhere I can just for the fragrance for anyone to catch a whiff of when step outside for years. Can't imagine not having it.

That time of year: Gotta mow already again at least in front and take Ollie out for his walk

CLYNN  Nice blue theme for Friday. :)

KB  that viburnum is something else.  Can you cut the blossoms and bring inside like hydrangea?

Just finished planting 32 coleus at the priest's entrance to the church.  I do something every year to cheer up the spot.  This may not work as the area may be getting too much sun.  We shall see.  Last year I did zinnias but could not find any decent ones this year.

{{{CLYNN}}}-nice blue theme for your AM post; your blurry eye  :(  ; thanks for  Hellgate & Dunrovin update, the ospreys look great.
Beautiful color on those eggs

TSK- you work so hard on the garden at church.  I'm sure it's all deeply appreciated and looks so pretty and cheerful.

KAREN- I have some marigolds in a long planter on the deck  between the loungers in front of the glass doors.
Sounds like you're getting ready for Armed Forces and Memorial Day. 

Yes. Me Two... hope Lisa & Bradley are home. I was just thinking Bandit and Misty are going be weaving themselves  all around Lisa's ankles
mewing excitedly.

Good Morning Beakers,

I just wanted to say THANK you for all the prayers, good thoughts and hugs during this difficult time.

My Mama donated her body to the University of Alabama Medical School for research purposes, so there will be no funeral or viewing.  Her ashes will come back in two years to my brother, and at that time we will all get together again, and spread her and my father's ashes together in their favorite place.

My brother and I spent the day she passed and the day after, trying to sort thru her finances and stuff.  It is just very overwhelming, as she was very unorganized with that, but other things she was not.

Bradley told me, I better have everything written down and put someplace for him.

Also, I loved the post that BL had found on the Adventuresses' Club Facebook page about my Mama, that was so nice of them to do that!

The actor Nathan Page, who portrays Detective Inspector Jack Robinson in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries has been in contact with Brien and I, on my Mama's Instagram account and by email.  Mama and another member of the Con was supposed to pick him up from the airport for the Con.  He has been so nice, and has had the nicest things to say about Mama.  He asked us to write up a lil something about Mama's life, as he wants to write a lil story and read it at the Con.  I did that last night for him. 

Will check back in later.  Still trying to help my brother with things that I can help him with. 

Thanks again, and missed you all!

I'm sure you're relieved to be back Lisa It has been heartbreaking and difficult we know.  Just give your thoughts  their chance to calm down.  You're allowed.  You need time and solitude and support.  We lost our mom 1999.  Your week reminds so many of our own mothers.  We still miss and feel.  And when you have thoughts embrace them.

Take some time, all the time you need, and rejoice the years she gave you and your family.

Lisa, so glad to hear that you and Bradley made it home safe and sound. What a week you have had... Your Mama was a beautiful lady and you must have a lot of good memories of her and her antics!  I couldn't imagine a person as active as her ever languishing away in a nursing home, just not her style! We would love to hear some of your memories whenever you want to share! I bet Bandit and Misty were glad to see you, and, of course, Jeff! Let the weekend flow by at your pace and get some rest and relaxation! We are all here for you...

Puff, wonderful words for Lisa!

Lani, hope you are feeling better today, enough is enough of the migraine!  Are you jinxed on washing machines? I know things are not made as good as they used to be, but gee whiz, they should be better than that! Love the Friday Night Crew! Vickie and Joni across the street have four Chihuahuas, I could see them dressed up like that!

E4E, the Munchkins will be here tomorrow, I do miss them during the school year! I think they have one more week of school and then I will have them on Wednesdays! The park close to us is getting a makeover, I am going to check it out this week. Ed took them week before last and it was closed and all dug up. I hope they donated the equipment, there was nothing wrong with it. Ed said the makeover has something to do with accessibility.

Phyl, well, if your squirrels don't bother your marigolds it must be the rabbits or chipmunks that always ate mine!

kb, gorgeous viburnum, very prolific!

tsk, wow, that is a lot of coleus, and I bet it will look beautiful! The church is lucky to have you to brighten up the place! Not to mention all of the other things you do!

karen, you went shopping! And you reminded me, I need to get the flags out and do a little work on the collages! I love marigolds but gave up on planting them as the flowers get eaten as soon as they bloom!

For Caturday...Harley and Sam eating treats...

Dear {{{Lisa}}}-
Thank you for taking the time to greet us this morning.
 Sharing with us  some details.  Your mother is a generous lady giving of herself in that way.

There's a  daunting task ahead ,  one that many of us have been through ---
offering  up  to you boundless empathy.

How wonderful that the actor, Nathan Page is paying tribute to your mother, Irma, during the
Miss Fisher convention. Easy to imagine how this touches your heart and soul, bringing a
 smile to your mother's  face.

We here are limited...But, If, there's something we can do  here to make this time easier
please let us know.
No one here is going anywhere---we'll be here  waiting for you when you are ready to return.

---Phyllis

LISA   Back home safe.  What a wonderful gesture by Nathan Page to not only contact your family  but now speak about her at the Con. Wonder if anyone can video that so you can have it for your memories of her.   Your Mom was well respected and a fun loving person.

Getting out for an early morning today.  Got too hot for me yesterday.  Forecast mid 80's today.  Nope! count me out - or rather count me down on my a$$ watching my yard creatures, sipping ice water. . .

Tomorrow the veggie garden - then two day of that, but cooler is advertised.

karen/clynn  The battle of the critters.  Tried marigolds with their reputation - gave up on that lie.  Another with a good reputation is vinca - HAH.  I have 5 large bowls of them under my ash trees, planted Wednesday, found one completely destroyed Thursday.  I filled it back in yesterday with some of each of them from the other bowls and then smothered them with Repeals It.  We'll see soon what happened overnight.  I also will be replanting/improving on my 4 ft round cement large perennial bowl.  It looked sickly last year.  That should then be it for the day.

Had a royal mess to handle yesterday.  Got some precious help from Michael next door.  I came home late  Monday night after a travel show, when I closed the door from garage to house I heard a lot of tinkle tinkle noise.  Just kitty corner from entry door is the door to patio.  WHAT!!?? THE HECK.  There was a hole in the middle of the storm door glass, maybe 2 ft x 3 ft.  Over the last few days the hole kept getting bigger.  I wanted to put in the screen - but had to get rid of the hole, now about 3 ft x 5 ft.  Being less than 5'1" now there was no way I can even change to screen, which is why I hadn't done so as yet.  (Yelling)  Michael!  What he did is hang a tarp from the top of the door to the bottom and finished off the job of knocking out any remainder of the glass.  Now there were billions and billions of little tiny diamonds all over the patio.  Finally got the pieces of the safety glass collected and thrown out; replaced glass frame with screen panel (which should have been in to begin with).  I have an on call handy man - who will be handy somewhere else until next week - he'll check out the situation and no doubt I'll need an entire replacement.  :-\   

I had a robin build a nest on top of a light fixture next to the patio door.  (Been here 50+ years and that's the first time there).  I knew it had been spotted because I found two little blue smashed robin eggs in the grass/on the patio.  I also knew were big black birds (crows, starling, black birds) after the nest.  I'm thinking, Michael agreed, that somewhere in the county is a black bird who has a terrific headache from the "bang up" job it did hitting into the glass.   

See y'all later.  Enjoy!

P

So nice to hear you are home and safe....Take care.

Below is just a start of putting some of my snowball viburnum in a vase...have many more to do, but it rained last night and I was out back drying some things so took off a few...many more to come.

Those little white petals do fall so Just pick them up when done is all.

So happy my iris (yellow not open yet) will bloom this year.

Last year, I thought I lost them all because none bloomed after our atrocious winter, winter before last.
Most returning this year....Yah!

Already 78 and heading to 89 today - turned on the A/C yesterday for the first time this year.  Next rain forecast is Mon. and Tue.

We sold out on most garden Veggies last weekend - got some more in on Thurs. - We have been selling a lot of trees this year - we started the season (late Mar) with 250 fruit trees and got another 250 in April - almost sold out on them now.  Flowers are also selling well - 6 packs are selling as fast as we can get them in.  Even the large hanging pots are selling well.

Phyl, beautiful foggy morning on today's nature vid.

Clynn, we've lived in this home for 11 years, and this is our 3rd washer. In Kansas, the 32 years there I had two Maytag washers. Rarely saw the repairman. The quality of the appliances is not what it use to be.... oh my The boys together  :-* Sam's head looks bigger than Harley's. aww the best pic.

{{{Lisa}}} It's wonderful to hear from you. So glad to know you and Bradley are home. Now you both can heal and be comforted with your loving families during these difficult days. It's been a whirlwind of events for you both.... What a wonderful gesture from actor Nathan Page. I enjoyed watching him on Miss Fisher and now I can see the kindness that he portrays in the show carries through to his personal life.

PUFF   Our front door had a full size storm window and a full size screen for summer.  I used to carry this heavy storm glass window downstairs to store in the basement and bring the screen up for the summer.  Reverse in winter.  I did that for 14 years!!  We have now completed 16 years here.  Two years ago we had Home Depot come in and replace the whole" storm door" so all we have to do now is slide the upper half down to expose screen on the top  Glass goes to the floor for Lulu - a priority!!  You may want to look into something like that.  I was thrilled at the convenience!!!  ;)   That was a mess Michael cleaned up.  Thank goodness he was home.  Awww  no baby robins to watch.  :(

KB  Love that cobalt blue vase - perfect for the "white" flowers.  Look a lot like hydrangea.

OLDGUY   " Many-paws"  ::) ::)    Wonder why the run on trees this year??  Wonder why Claire is moving?  I remember when she moved into this place.  Seems like she's giving up a lot?  Clark family collective  ;D

LANI   Are you feeling any better.?

Post by: Phyl on May 18, 2024, 01:50:44 PM

CLYNN- so glad for you with the Munchkins coming on Wednesdays over the summer. Looking forward to some snaps.

I was being facetious  with the 'mixed nuts' remark. LOL
 
I use Repel All on all my potted plants--only draw back with that is it's not 'rain proof'---the container suggests resprinkling after each rain.
The other 'thing' I've ended up doing is putting a wire " barrier"  in the pot. Jim makes  them for me out of 1/4" chicken wire. He fashions it into a open ended
cylinder and inserts one end into the soil. Then crenellates the top  with a slight curve. If  we were much closer-he'd make some for you, that is if y ou wanted.
 Awwww ((Harley)) and Sam.

LOL barista kitty.

T40- miss your Caturday posts; hope all's well and you're just busy.

TSK- Awwww Mama  Tiger and her cub.  :-*

{{{PUFF}}}  poor Mom/Dad robin loosing their egglets  and heart breaker for you; argghhh all that glass-even with the tiny bits still a worry. Hope you
have a better day and evening

OG- firstly---'good luck' with cards tonight, no doubt something tasty for the pot luck too. Thanks for the Caturday links---OMW the world's smartest cat and 'Feral to Family' awww.   LOL 'many paws'. Will finish them later.  You've sold  a lotta trees this season.

{{{LANI}}} hope you're doing better today. LOL your Caturday greeting--so true;  Maytag had always been the 'gold standard' in appliances.  Seems like when Whirlpool bought them out in 2006 the product wasn't the same. IMHO

Yours is the second mention today tsk.  Everyone who bears with me and my story of the billion diamonds seems to already know about the new double duty storm.  I just got the same recommendation from one of my neighbors - you know Michael - he has one in a condo he owns.  Only put change in his unit.  He actually owns and manages building, but only put in a door for his.  While outside today another handyman said he's put in 6 so far this spring.  He also even recommended HD.  I'll be online later this afternoon.  He saw the scratch marks on the old screen and said the permanent bottom glass panel is a must.  Already had other people give it a good thumb's up, too.

Phyl When I finished  planting said pots earlier this week Thursday, on Friday I was gifted with dug up begonias and eaten up vinca.  I was just at my limit and stopped when I shouldn't have.  So yesterday 1st thing I did was protect the vinca salad bowls.  I used Repel It twice then and once again today, even though I saw no more damage today.  And, for my begonia pots I too use chicken wire.  I have a total of about 10 begonia pots.  All that wire does wonders for my hands.  Hard to handle snagging if wearing gloves so I use small pliers to bend it in and around the hanging strips.

Did lot today, was actually outside from 8 to 1.  Again, lots of breaks - and it was really too much when the sun rose.  So now I'm done for the day.  Have a taste for Chinese, but don't know if I can make myself go out in public looking like I worked 5 hours in the yard.   ;D

TSK, TIG, KAREN- Our front door is solid glass with brass trim/door knob.  That brass hardware has been the bane of my
life for 20 + years as it's unpolishable for some reason. I've given up.

TSK- the  1st time AC went on here was late April as we had a early warming. Like you 80F on the 2nd floor.  No Chinese here. But, Mediterranean.

Good. Morning!   Have no idea why Piper  and I are awake son very early, having a coffee!   Woke up and was unconformable and finally got up!   Piper  says it is crazy!   
Lani, hope your migraine is still better when you get up to take a walk with Sadie !  Those  headaches are debilitating !   My father had them for years although milder than some folks!  I worked with a woman in .Springfield who was totally unable to get any relief from them!   Think the ac was turned on the  first of March this year!   Hot and humid!  Quite Early!   As with tge heat it only runs when the temperature  reaches a  set point .
I have a  storm door with a full glass  in it and it came with a screen! i sent the screen away with the installer as  I never intended to carry that heavy glass anywhere!   The door is almost  too 
Heavy for  me to hold open!
Not sure I could land one if the big mouth bass  BL talks about!   I like having it open and it has a good lock, so it stays!  The door, not a bass!
Clynn, you have done  a great job getting the  kitties  together!   Missing pictures of Bella and  Talon!  Glad the  Wednesday  visits will soonbe starting! Still dark and need some more coffee!

Lani, glad to hear you are feeling better! Are you able to take that migraine prescription that Lady Gaga advertises? How is your sister doing?  I almost turned the A/C on yesterday but didn't since it cooled off during the night. Lots of days in the 70s coming with possible showers!

Phyl, awww, you really missed your daily talks with your Mom... I talk to my Mom every Wednesday and Sunday, and in between if necessary. Kelsey is like clockwork calling Grandma on those days, I talk with her when Kelsey is done. It will be hard when she is gone, especially for Kelsey. She still talks about Kay and their trips to Menards. Love the sounds in the 365!  Cute little Bee lady! Will read about the peppers later! Cheery good morning flowers!

Puff, I think we need to see pictures of all of your yard labor! Maybe in a month when it is all growing well? I agree, the sun makes it unbearable, I like to go out in the mornings. My main flower garden is on the west side of the house, so no sun until noon. Then I work in the back in the late afternoon. I haven't seen any rodent damage yet... (knock on wood). I think I have some Repels All in the little shed just in case!

kb, tig, happy mowing today. I am glad you are both able!

tsk, I have the same kind of storm door that you had, and I have never put the screen in. Many times I wished we could have a breeze come through, but I wanted the full view. It's about time to replace the door and I am going to get one like yours. Glass on the bottom, a must for the kitty viewing!

PHYL   Good that you talked it out with those you trust about your grieving process.  My friend in Fl who lost her husband last fall got a grief counselor from the Hospice who was wonderful and this week he was willing to " let her go" but to come back any time.  He was a minister and explained so many things that were happening to her.  Altho leary at first, she said it was the best thing she ever did.
Bright cheery Sunday AM pic.   Got curious about gulls 365- About 50 species world wide.

BL  Sounds like a good black bass fishing adventure.  ;D

LANI   So glad you are feeling better and up to a catch up with Sis.  ;D

CLYNN   " all of us confused imperfections.."  ;) ;)   Bella - you go girl!!!   I used to call Mom every day at 3 PM about the last 10 years of her life.  Still think of her about that time every day.  :(    Both Tim and I have always lived in homes with front storm doors with screens - for that cross breeze - Guess when older homes didn't have A/C this may have been common.  Thanks for posting those striking picks of our USA

Good Morning Beakers

Thank you all again for the warm welcome home.  I spent most of my day yesterday on the phone with Brien, as he and I are still going thru this binder with login and passwords that Mama had to different places.  Some we are making progress, some not.  He had also asked my to write up an obituary for her, so he could post that on Facebook, since there is not going to be an actual funeral for her. 

clynn - Yes, Jeff and the kitties missed me very much. WAY TO GO, Bella...you are a SUPERSTAR!!

Phyl - I did have a restful night.  I needed the sleep, and I am almost positive I will need the sleep again tonight. 

tsk - Thank you again for the beautiful prayer shawl.  I love it, and cried the whole time I read your enclosed notes.  After I wrote something up about Mama's life and sent it to him.  He replied back to me with this.  Such a nice guy!
Wonderful Thank you.
Perfect.
I’ll let you know once I’m done.
Glad you got home safely. ❤️

kb - Your flowers are beautiful!

oldguy - Thank you for the videos.  Sounds like you have been busy at work.

Lani - Sorry to hear about your washer.  Sounds like us with the ice maker.  I was actually late leaving the house on Tuesday morning to head to Alabama, cause I was waiting for Sears to get here!  They have to come back this Tues to repair the maker, as they needed to order parts. 

karen - I keep waiting for the phone to ring at 11am my time, as that is what time Mama usually called, and she would say every day...What ya doing....the birds?  LOL, she meant watching the Decorah eagles....it was a running joke.  I am sure I will still be talking to her in my head.  I have already done that a few times.

Phyl - Awww, the phone calls to your Mom. 

BrokenLug - Thanks for finding that post about my Mama.  :-*  My brother and I used one of those pics from the obit I had written up for him to post on Facebook.

Puff, tig and all - Morning  :)

Lisa - Even though there will not be a funeral, be sure to post an obit in the local newspaper.  This is a legal point - once posted, it sets a time limit for anyone to submit a claim of debt.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: Puff on May 19, 2024, 10:25:06 AM

Ah ha - Y'all will have to add a third to the "early up group"  Blaming it on two habits:  When teaching I had to get up early, dressed, natural beauty routine, and out on the interstate about  6 a.m. to get into the city before it started its snail speed.  Second:  Ashley liked to eat at sunrise!  That pain in the Ash, even when that the ended, she didn't understand retirement routine and would make it 4 a.m.  :o  at times.  Now unless sleep is really DONE I may as well get up and start covering the agenda/routine I've set for myself while I should have been asleep.  First things, heat the hot water for tea, turned on the computer then run through the computer usual fav sites.  That is between 5 and 5:30.  Then check my emails to see if any of my clients have called asking me to help with that world cruise they always thought about doing.  Of course they become #1 on the to-do list for the day!  (a figment of my imagination).  After emails is when I read/check through the bird channels (5)  and drink my now cold tea.  :-[

But I am on about 5 and monitoring or busy; like today - darn it's already 10am!  So be careful if you talk about me.  Agenda, cuz I over did yesterday, i have to get out today to get "things" I need to go out and finish chores.  But after nice today (70's) tomorrow will be back up again; I will make tomorrow's shorter than yesterday!

From the Petrified Forest mentioned I got reminded to once again try to locate a native person to see about fixing the windchime make of "petrified tree stone" that I bought once when there.  Only native Navajo people are allowed to harvest, own, sell it; it is theirs only to sell in nation approved enterprises. 
So two years ago a wind storm damaged my chime.  Found it on the ground in pieces; one piece shattered into pieces, one piece in two parts.  So many things I've tried to get someone in the Nation or a the local resident to help me.  I feel so bad.  Thousands of years to create.   They trusted me with their precious heritage and now it's wounded.  And, my great-grandmother Marie was Cherokee.  Can it be fixed?  Maybe there's "proper" handling that should be done, kinda like the handling of an eagle feather.   I got it oh so long ago - no outlet name, no town there, found nothing on the computer.  Like I said, I was trusted and flubbed my rub.  Maybe Lani has a state contact?  Her heritage would make me think she also appreciate matters of heritage.

Well, I still have a lot to do today now - let me get my bum moving.
BTW I will be ordering the Chinese food today!!!!!

LISA   How anxious I would be waiting for repair when I need to be somewhere  :o :o     And forever, 11 AM will not pass without you thinking of Mom and telling her you miss her.  :'(   Nathan Page  :-* :-*

PUFF    Petrified tree "stone" and "shattering" don't seem to go together???     As I read from Lani's article the logs are pure quartz....     Love your AM routine.  We all have one. LOL

LANI   God bless your sister.   :-* for being there for you.   I think those "sisters" are cloistered.  LOLOL

tsk - hmm, I have no comment on the EGO weed whip if that's what you mean by string trimmer?

I bought a relatively inexpensive Black and Decker weed whip...battery powered and it's worked just fine for several years now. I have replaced the string once in all this time. Also a you tube video for that.

I always say to myself the simpler machine often the better. Which often relates to cheaper, LOL

Is that what you mean by string trimmer?...a weed whip?

oldguy - Thanks, and sending you a PM, as I have a question. 

Puff - Enjoy your Chinese, you have me hankering on some now!  Might have to do that for dinner tomorrow.   :D

Lani - Love your Sister pups.  We are ice people and use lots of it.  I just had the maker repaired 2 months ago, hopefully this upcoming fix will last longer than 2 months. 

kb - Looks like a nice cozy room to listen to some music. 

Phyl - I think I am going to bed a lil early again tonight.  I am still feeling a lil exhausted from the whole trip/ordeal. 

tsk - I was very anxious, and I was about to cancel the appointment when he called and said, I am 30 minutes away!  11AM  :-*

Have a good night, everyone!

some bounce

Camper was a real sweetie and cut most of the grass even though it hurts him to walk. Fasciitis?
I did some and cleaned up. My arthritis is bad today. Must be the weather. ?

All... we keep it pretty simple here, mostly. No dishwasher, nothing special in the fridge (ice cube trays), no garbage disposal. But we are currently trying to figure out the glitch in our programmable lighting! GRR.

CLYNN- there's a petrified forest Park in Sonoma County, California. Went there once with a high school girl friend and her family. It was just 9.5 hr drive on I-5 N

{{{Lisa}}} 
PUFF- enjoy you Chinese dinner tonight, sounds good. Maybe next weekend for  us.

TIG-  simply put---arthritis pain  is related to the barometric pressure in the atmosphere.   Bless Camper. Enjoy the game.

LISA  So frustrating and kind of depressing that appliances are not made to last.  Tim is a HUGE ice person but he buys his ice and likes a certain shape cube  ::) ::) ::)   He calls it "Frank Sinatra" ice - Have no idea where he got that from.  ::) ::)    Sleep well.

Karen- It seems that Piper knows when you need to get up! Lol  ;D     Thank you so much Karen  :) :-*

Phyl- Pretty flowers this morning!  Thank you for all links!

Clynn- Just seeing Bella in her soccer uni - looks like she is growing up so fast!!

Tsk- Been reading how a few of you have those front storm doors with screens.  Never had one of those.  Sounds like a good thing to have though!

Kb- Like the grey-headed Lovebird- so pretty!    Pat on your Ollie's head  :)

LisaG-  That is a wonderful memory (of many I'm sure) of your Mama calling you around 11:00 a.m.  She will always be right there with you.

Og- Thanks for what you said to Lisa.  I did not know that!  Don't know if that rule of thumb applies here in CA, but it makes sense and I will remember this.

Have to sign off now - American Idol is on!  Tsk, you watching?!  As you mentioned recently, your favorite had already been eliminated, and I have to say, my favorites too have been eliminated already, but I still want to see who wins!

Phyl, love your morning picture! So you looked up Frank Sinatra Ice too! What did we ever do before Google?  ;D Looking forward to reading the article on Blindness!

Lani, love the Iris pic! I just can't get over how happy we are that she finally has a new man that treats her like a Queen! Wow, you are in for some hot temps. It got to 86 here on Saturday but yesterday was cooler.  A big, loud storm blew through last night. Looks like some more rain today, and only 80.

E4E, yes, the Munchkins are growing up fast! I will have them on Wednesdays starting 5/29!

tig, your homemade window privacy screen looks nice! 

tsk, I looked up Frank Sinatra Ice!  All I could find was that he had to have ice, lots of ice , in his martini! Which is supposedly weird! He didn't like the way shaking it diluted it!

Lisa, hope you got some good rest last night...  Been thinking of you a lot...  I use a lot of ice, have to have it for my sweet tea! But I know people who don't use ice at all!!!  I cannot imagine! Kay never had ice, she drank Diet Pepsi, she never refrigerated it, she opened it and let it set out until the fizz was gone. Then she drank it. Yuk, warm, flat diet Pepsi.

Hellgate - Jenny Powell - Mr dependable NG arrived with some Fish for his hungry bride, she departed with full confidence leaving Nest and the Eggs in her hero's care and protection. NG settled right in incubating while doing some light housework....he's a multitasker! ❤

EAGLES  Actually I just watched the last 10 minutes  LOL.  The girl that won I would have dropped rounds ago.  Thought for sure of the last 3, the full bearded guy would win.  Actually all of those in the top 10 have a career if they want one.  I also need to see what Katy was wearing - Good grief.... :o ::o ;D ;D

PHYL  I just asked Tim about how he came to call ice - Frank Sinatra.  He thinks eons ago saw a Frank Sinatra movie - he loves old movies - and noticed how the cubes were square and clear in the movies where he would drink, which was most of them, and he liked that - not the drinking. LOL  That is the closest I can come.  Tim does not drink however, just for pop or his constant water or other no sugar flavored waters..    Boy, thank God for researchers!  What a miracle that would be to eliminate that inherited blindness.

CLYNN  A tangerine morning  ;D   Think we may be getting your rain today any time this afternoon/evening.  Cloudy all day reaching 86.  After tomorrow we have at least 10 days in the 70s.    What a great year for Iris.  Waiting to hear NG's new name  ;) ;)

Morning.

Tig - rainy week coming up starting last night....don't think it can get much greener than it already is, LOL

Lisa - you do need to sleep...After Scott got his diagnosis and his first surgery a friend recommended melatonin gummies....it helped me prepare for the long "war"....and I continue to take it to this day. Really helped me get to sleep when couldn't turn off the "thinking"

Seeing an ENT tomorrow after my internist visit and recommendation not that successful. Loud tinnitus and partial hearing loss.....it's so friggin annoying to not be able to hear well..
So there's that annoyance. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some better answers. Hate feeling annoyed with our beautiful spring!

Lisa, you don't sound awful at all! Your mind is going through all of the things that need to be done and of course it gets overwhelming! It's good if you can change your thoughts to something else! Sometimes at night I have trouble getting to sleep! In mind I say 'breathe in, breath out' as I breathe. Sometimes it works! Beautiful flowers this morning! Mine all got a good rain last night, looks like more rain coming.

tsk, looks like more rain coming this week, and temps in the 70's. Does Tim have a certain place that he gets his square ice cubes? Ed drinks his Squirt from the plastic bottle, in a coozie. Never any ice! He has a little fridge in the Mole Hole that he keeps full. Monthly trips to the redemption center, he stacks the empties in boxes until I tell him to get rid of them!

kb, wow red dragonfly! Found this article, #5 is beautiful!  https://thepetenthusiast.com/red-dragonflies/   Did the tinnitus just come on? Never heard you mention it before. I thought you got an excellent report from your Dr!  Another annoyance to deal with.

Good Morning {{{LISA}}} !

Boy , Oh Boy!
Do I love to see those tea cups full of tea  in you AM posts.

So glad to read you're sleeping a bit better.  And, so sorry you're having some difficulty though.  :(

There was a time after Mom passed I woke in the middle of the night sitting straight up in bed with a gasp realizing she was gone.
And, that emptiness that often sinks in when one has a loss, hit me. I
The following morning I skipped breakfast and just sat  in Jim's LazyBoy  with tears rolling down my face. 
As Dr. Edwads-Lee said " my brain caught up with reality'  after 7 months of  long term care and days of dealing with doctors and therapist. Realizing she'd
never be any better than the day before.

Be assured it's not 'awful' to have to stop thinking of your mom in order to sleep. That's 'okay'.
.  We each have our own way of dealing with that which keep us awake.
Grief is a process---a journey---it takes time to heal. And, grief is different for everyone who experiences it.

Clynn - thanks for that red dragonfly article...even in the Eastern US...love to see one in person.

I've had tinnitus since my 40's? in both ears and intermittent BPPV which I've said after a bad viral labrynthitis..just got much much worse in the last months in one ear, my left ear along with symptoms of partial hearing loss and a sense of fullness. So when I was at my internist for a wellness visit: all blood work, physical exam and x rays were normal normal but she thought my ear just needed otc cleaning....hasn't worked so seeing an ENT tomorrow. Bugs the crap out of me

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: LisaG1967 on May 20, 2024, 09:05:19 AM

kb - I just had a slight case of tinnitus a week before I left to head to Alabama.  It came on suddenly.  I do have permanent tubes in my ears, which causes them to get wax on the tubes.  I had some steroid ear drops from my last tube placement, and used those for a few day to see if it helped.  When the returned my call about the tinnitus he said, cut back on the caffeine, lower my salt intake, and Ibuprofen intake, and try to listen to the TV and radio at a lower volume.  Odd, but I don't know if the drops worked or the other stuff, but it is gone.

Phyl - I agree with you, everyone deals with grief differently.  I did not have a good cry till I was driving back to Savannah.  Had to pull over and let Bradley drive. 

clynn - Thanks for saying, Im not awful.   :)  I hardly ever have a hard time falling asleep, but the mind was working overtime.

KB  Beauty of a dragon fly. :o   A lot of folks have good results with melatonin. You may be surprised what an ENT can dig out of your ear - " Oh I can hear again"  That's what has happened to me in the past.  LOL  Ear canals narrow so I get them cleaned every year now.  Use the OTC softening agent a week before I go.

CLYNN  Amazing.  I do the same thing.  I focus on a deep breath in and then a slow breath out.  It's like a miracle.  Have to really focus on the breath tho.   He gets the ice at one of our grocery store - Jewel ( Safeway)    # 5 dragon fly is a beauty.  never knew there were so many red ones.   Anvil monument - another one I'm not familiar with.

So yesterday while practicing with my new edger/trimmer in the front yard an elderly gentleman was walking by and stopped to investigate.  I politely asked if I could brush the cicada from his shoulder  LOL  My first one!!  altho many have tons in their yard trees - may depend on the trees.

Thanx for the info on tinnitus. I'll keep track when I don't plan to drink coffee next week at the lake, as I need to pack very lightly. I'll need to bring some melatonin though, as I am used to falling asleep to the TV.
BTW, Rosie didn't make it here... Mom n Dad decided not to leave town.

Puff, I asked my Navajo friend, as well as Aly who has close ties with a Navajo client here in Payson. It may not be the answer you had hoped for, sorry  :(  "The magic and spirit of your beautiful wind chime has lived out its purpose for which it was created. It is time for you to move forward." No one from the Navajo Nation will redo it....you can ask someone who makes wind chimes to remake it, here's a video.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mexH4cuV3xo

Clynn, colorful morning posts.... looking forward to finding out NG's new name. I hope it's Finnegan/Finn.... looking forward to munchkin pics.... stunning az pic... thanks for dragonflies article. They are so beautiful.

Phyl, thanks for Frank Sinatra ice info, Mike has his martinis like Ol' Blue eyes! .. interesting article on the eyes, medical breakthroughs are exciting, thanks I'll read it more thoroughly and share it with others.... love the dog and cat shames.

{{{Lisa}}} everyone grieves in their own way and time.... one day and night at a time  :-*

I remember decades ago, ear cleaning was a routine part of my annual physicals.....Not any more.

I'll have to find the pictures I took when Bella found one on a tree at the playground. It was shedding its old shell, I got a series of pics!

Lani, I had forgotten about Willi and Milli!  Thank you for checking on them, and they already have their egg! I think most of us are hoping Iris' NG will be Finnegan! I am so happy!

 The cicadas here are horrific --walk out  on our deck and the roar is 'deafening'!  As if from ' The Outer Limits'.


AI Overview

…
In 2024, Nashville, Tennessee will see two broods of periodical cicadas emerge, which is the first time in 221 years that this has happened. Brood XIX, which is the 13-year brood, will emerge around mid-May and be around for a month. Brood XIII, which is the 17-year brood, will also emerge in 2024. The two broods will emerge simultaneously, but the exact timing depends on the weather.

oldguy, fascinating video of the Dali! One just cannot imagine the size of the ship until you can compare it to the four lanes of road across the bow! Will they bring another ship and transfer the contents? And it surely needs repaired before it can go the 9677 nautical miles back to Sri Lanka. 20-25 days travel, per Google. Those poor crewmen!

Phyl, oh no, the cicadas! I haven't seen or heard any here yet.

karen, I am so looking forward to time with Miss Bella!  I have been trying to think of things we can do with Talon. He is all about the laptop and weapons. Sometimes he still likes Play-doh.

tsk, I never thought of that, cicadas and construction. I bet you are correct!  Some of them may have survived in their new home!

You've answered my question of yesterday - even though I didn't ask you.   ::)
You must have been just a mite away from the rain.  We had nothing here either, just watches.  Now, today is suppose to be the day.  Not a promising nice day at all today.  I hope to put down more coco paths in the garden before the temp gets to high.  Also have a few plants hang on waiting for water.  Tomorrow sounds more promising.

I'm also taking a clue I got when I made it in yesterday.  Read part of the paper.  Had some leftover Chinese and tea, and then went to bed.  About 7!  Slept until 1:30.  Old body just said "Hey lady, take a break" so I went back to la la land until 4.  Making it as easier day and decision today.

Hi all!  Bye all 'til later.

tig - Hope you hear from the doctor soon with your results from monitor.

tsk - Thanks, that is good to know there is no connection.  I love my coffee!  Be safe with the weather!

kb - Cool land spout, have heard of water spout, but not land. Be safe with weather.

karen - Thanks, and I found a nice steaming cuppa this morning.   :)

Phyl - I kinda like the sound of cicada's but you are right, deafening!  Love the good night pic. 

Lani - I agree with you, the Dali was alot bigger than I thought too!  I believe WJZ, the local Baltimore news channel here said, the size of 3 football fields.   :o

Puff - Morning  :)

Took a pic of some of my iris starting to open...not all, before this afternoon's potential for severe weather: large hail, winds, and possibly tornadoes...but, for sure heavy rain.
For posterity.

Morning all

I changed my afternoon ear appt to tomorrow morning at 10:00...I guess I can go another day without hearing.....shoot. Playing safe so don't have to drive even with just heavy rain.

My toother can get fixed only a block away from my house this morning.....rain but not likely severe till afternoon.

Royal Albatross cam

Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)

Top Flat chick is 119 days old and weighs 8.7 kg at 10.10 am today. Average male is 8.4 kg; average female is 7.2 kg. LGK fed his chick after weighing and LGL came in later. This will mean that Top Flat chick is over 9 kg and well over average weight for his age.

Top Flat Track chick is 111 days old and weighs 8.2 kg and is a good increase on last week's 7.5 kg. Average male weight for day 111 is 8.1 kg. BOK and WYL have been in to feed frequently over the past week.

The regular weighing ensures that chicks who may be missing a parent can be supplementary fed and survive to fledging and beyond. Read more about our conservation work here: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nat...

The heaviest chick this week is 10 kg and we now have a very light-weight chick who is receiving regular supplementary feeds. Chicks consistently over the average weight are now weighed every 2nd week so the lighter weight chicks can be focused on. In the past all chicks were weighed each week build the data set that we use to inform the need for supplementary feeding.

Night viewing:

Recently there has been some little owl activity on cam in the evenings. This is not a native species to New Zealand but was introduced here over 100 years ago from Germany. Read more about little owls here: https://nzbirdsonline.org.n...

tsk, we got hit with heavy winds and rain this morning. Another round is supposed to hit around 4:00. That is probably the one you will be getting later! They are dismissing all the schools early so that all the kids get home safely. Supposed to be some wicked winds!  Take some pictures of the parish garden, would love to see it!

kb, beautiful lion!

Lani, the Royal Alby babies are getting so big! 8.7 kg equals 19.18 pounds! That's a BIG baby! They take such good care of them, you can tell they all love them!

Lisa, what a pretty cup of coffee! A while ago I put an ice cube in the no-tip water dish and Sam and sophie were playing with it. Sophie even got it out of the dish! She shakes her wet paw and gets Sam wet, I think she does it on purpose!  Another pic of them sleeping

tig, you don't have to get out of the screen to close your browser. Ctrl, Alt, Delete , press all three at once and you will get a menu. Choose Task Manager,l and you will get a list of everything open. Highlight your browser (Edge, Chrome or whatever) and hit End Task. It will close and with it goes the bad thing! You will be able to open your browser then. And you will be fine. Erin showed me this after I called him in a panic one day.

What you just described sounds like the same exact thing that happened me about a month ago.  Yes it was scary.  Just as you mentioned, the voice kept warning me not to shut down or it will spread, etc.  No, I did not call the number they were showing either.  This is what I did:  I pressed Ctrl - Alt - Delete all at once. Then I probably did a 'hard' shut down, because I pressed the power button until it went completely off.  I waited several minutes, then booted back up and all seemed fine.  I haven't had any other problems.  Whew!!!!!

Here is a drone video from Brett Adair of the damage at Greenfield, IA today...

5-21-2024 Greenfield, IA Horrific tornado damage   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew9mlhlGO9E

MPMom had a close encounter this afternoon - tornado lifted as it approached her town.

It appears that most of the storms have gone to our NE now, with current warning in Illinois and Wisconsin.

If you watch Reed's video you will see multiple vortices in the main funnel....amazing. I couldn't count all of them.

KB - This is the second time this season that I have seen the multiple vortices tornado - both in SW Iowa, the other was the Minden tornado - 60 miles apart for locations.
This is not a common type of tornado -
The Video by Reed was near Preston, I think it was the same storm cell for Greenfield.  I had never seen the power windmills get damaged before by a storm.

Lani, the storm was scary when it went through and then the sun came out! The town of Greenfield was hit bad, just 54 miles SW of here... They won't give out the death total yet. Love the kitties watching the rain, and love those fluffy Albies!

oldguy, that video of Greenfield, such devastation! Even worse than the one that hit Minden on 5/7.

We have 50+ MPH wind gusts this AM  BUT NO rain last night.  So I ran out after I threw shorts on and watered all the veggies and hanging/potted pots as I usually water them all after dinner when the sun is lower.  Hope I don't lose 2 pots  :P.  NEVER again will I depend on the weather forecast to assume rain!!!!   Our huge maple in the back yard was majorly pruned so will tackle all the branches later.

EAGLES   Wasn't Jennifer Hudson an 8th place winner and look at her now....

LISA   My/Tim's regular ENT group left our Hospital so we have to find another group.  I did some research and found a highly recommended group so as a new patient it takes forever to get an appt and besides they just moved to different offices.  So it is later in June which is OK.  My regular doc does not have the tools to clean my ears properly.  Tim sees them for his hearing aid issues should they arise.

KB   Storm chasers   :o :o :o :o  I get chills just watching those videos   We have a single guy - really nice tho - neighbor who doesn't tend to thistle.  Thus it is a continual problem for me. ::) ::)  Is the Swedish Institute a museum?  Gorgeous woodwork

TIG   Home just in time   Phew!

OLDGUY  Yesterday morning when those folks in Greenfield went to bed they had no idea how changed their next morning would be.
Tornado damage is so awful.

PHYL   Is that swarm of bees on a sunflower??  amazing  Thanks for the pic on our newly "camerad" Philippine eagles.

CLYNN   Just terrible what happened to Greenfield.   Sam= total trust!

PUFF  NO rain.  Think it passed north and west again.  Lots of tree littler tho as I look down the block.

Don't even want to look re damage.  Finishing my 2nd tea and then outside.  Then it's back to veggies.  I just had to quit early yesterday - The cicada were attacking me.  Same here, didn't water.  :-\  And it sure got hot and humid, too.  I am so far behind.  Decided to try something different:  Spinach doesn't like heat.  Maybe I'll try a crop in August/Sept - watch it be a warmer than usual fall!

dumped close to 3 inches of rain here this morning....guess we are sucking it all up out of those storms tsk and puff..

tsk - Yes, the Swedish Institute is a museum...Lots of people have been there so they say. I haven't and won't be going anytime soon, though I'd like to, as it sits in a criminal "war zone" at the moment. Around 26th and Park ave so.

Clynn - LOL...just don't look?...haha..I'd have to put curtains up and close my dining room all up not to look or ever go outside to enjoy my own beautiful back yard.

I've already totally changed my lifestyle to accomodate theirs in front. Scott and I used to sit on our porch often to enjoy my front yard gardens. We close the blinds by 3-4pm in the living room already due to the screaming and partying and all kinds of nonsense going on out front.

Why do people say "just move"....it's always the good people who have to move, never the bad neighbors.
Ha, I can't afford to already.

I could call the city of Richfield and report her. Did that once years ago, but the city now is not allowed to view a person's backyard. They'd have to come inside my house to view. New code to protect "privacy" but in reality protects code breakers. She knew who called her in before as I am the only one who can really view her yard.

Atlantic Puffin Burrow cam - Puffintruders Abound!

It sure has been a chaotic week, y’all. If you don't already know, a very persistent intruder is desperate to make Burrow #59 its home.

Atlantic Puffins in Maine usually lay eggs in burrows or crevices in mid-May. Puffins typically lay one white egg each year, but another may be laid if lost early into the season. These eggs average 60mm long, 42mm wide, 0.31mm shell thickness, and weigh 62 grams. As we see with Willie and Millie, both parents will incubate the egg while the other parent fishes. Puffins have two lateral brood patches, featherless spots with enhanced blood supply, to warm the egg while they sit horizontally to incubate it. The egg needs around 39-45 days of incubation.

Now: let’s talk intruder! This bold Puffin has been charging into Burrow #59 every single day since May 18, including this morning. It even pushed Willie and Millie’s egg out of the burrow on May 19. This bird, nicknamed “Wily” by some viewers for his scheming ways, is likely a male looking for a burrow of his own. It may be particularly aggressive because it is still early–plenty of time for it to have an egg of its own. In nature, it’s all about having that competitive advantage and passing your genes onto your offspring. And someone else’s egg would not be a welcoming sight in your new home!

Puffintruder pushing the egg.

Good morning / afternoon Beakers

Kb- You sure do have a beautiful yard and I can easily see how you & Scott used to enjoy sitting out there together.   Wish the way you give your yard much TLC would rub off on your neighbors!   Sounds like all went well with your ENT visit. :)

Og- Saw the terrible devastation on the news and on 'The Today Show' that took place in Greenfield, IA    :o :o   Thank you for info and posting link.    I too, saw that power windmill on the news that fell and caught fire. :o

BL- You are always so good at staying on top of the weather situations - Thank you!

Hi Tig!

Phyl- I love reading about your bluebirds and seeing pictures you post!   Wow - that sunflower!!  Hopefully the swarm of bees found another home! :)    Like Great Spirits Bluff Falcons - cliff view! :)

Clynn- Lol! Sam sleeps so sound and happily!! :)   Yes, the years sure do fly by!!  Every time I see a picture of Talon and Bella, its easy to see how fast they are growing up.   I know Bella won't let you run out of things to keep you guys busy!! ;D ;D ;D
Yaaay for Finn bringing Iris a fish!

Puff- Hope the Cicadas don't bother you when you head back outside today! :o ::)

Tsk- Yes, Jennifer Hudson is so successful!!  I checked with 'Alexa' and it said that Jennifer placed 7th on 'Idol' during Season 3.

Karen- Hope you have a good report & visit with the Nurse that is coming over today to check up on you! :)

Lani- Wish that Puffintruder would go find his own burrow/crevice.  Good luck to Millie & Willie!

LisaG- How are you & your brother doing?  Just taking a day at a time?

Hi Lori- How is your family doing?

I am taking my Mom to a doctor appt later this afternoon.  Ever since she fell in her bathroom last Oct., she's had hip & knee pain (on her right side).  I think the doctor is going to try and find out if the PT is helping.

After that, hubby & I have a baseball game to go to. :)   Don't know how many more games our Grandson has, but their team keeps winning!

Aww!  E 23 was back at his nest, swfl, and had a nice visit/chat with daddy, M15! The kids frequently come back for a visit!  Looking  good!   Parents may in fact continue feeding while he hones his fishing skills!

karen - Awww, I bet all the photographers at SWFL were excited to see E23!  Hope all went well with the nurse. 

E4E - We are doing ok, thanks for asking.  Yes, one day at a time, and still working on things together.  Good luck to your Mom at her appointment, and good luck to grandson at his game.  :)

kb - Yay, on the hearing again!

tsk - Oldguy sent me some info that I forwarded to my brother, and he did go talk to someone, so it put his mind at ease.  He sent me a screenshot from her phone of doctor appointments that she had upcoming till the end of the year.  I called all of them to let them know she had passed, and to cancel the appointment.  All of them had such nice things to say about my Mama.

Lani - Thanks for the Puffin update, and wow that lil intruder pushing the egg out.   

Phyl - Yep, Misty and Bandit are their themselves again.   :D

Hello Beakers

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/92/28/57/9228570ab3c96dad4865fb1deccb0bb0.jpg)

Latest news says that there are 2 deaths in Greenfield and 1 death from another unidentified location to the south.  Ryan Hall expects more damaging storms to occur from Texas to Kentucky today and more stormy days Friday and Sunday.

Mid 70s today and mostly sunny.  Storms coming in Friday and Sunday.

Hi Beakers!

I'm glad all the Beakers are safe after the many serious storms and high winds. I hope the "tree-trimming" and other plant-affecting winds, hail, and torrential downpours didn't do too much permanent damage at the Beakers' homes and yards. Lots of "salad on the ground" to clean up, and branches and such. Glad you all have power.

Prayers for all affected by the many bad storms and high winds. So many lost so much. They're still going through rubble in Greenfield, IA, where a number of people werepulled out from under completely collapsed homes and other debris. which is why a total fatality count hasn't been given yet, last I heard, though 1 fatality was reported there earlier, and of course that news is getting updated throughout the day, so I may not be up to date on that. Their town was really hit hard, but other towns also had severe damage, and people who lost it all. Prayers for all.

More severe weather is in the forecast in many places. I hope people will do the smart thing, and stay off the roads, and in safe places, where possible, if there's an active warning in your area. A warning means the warned area is experiencing the severe weather being warned about at that very moment - it does NOT mean that weather might happen. A watch means conditions are such that the severe weather might develop. Most actual warnings don't last very long in any one location, though there are exceptions. It isn't the end of the world to delay a car trip for 30 or 45 minutes till a warning has ended for a partiular location. But it could be the end of the world for some people who ignore the warnings and requests by officials and first responders to stay off the roads during those times.

Stay safe, All, and have a good evening. Peace.


P.S. I see oldguy posted some storm-related updates while I was composing my post. Prayers for those lost and their loved ones, and for all who are suffering from the serious storms and weather.

EAGLES   I was close  LOLOL  Then in 2009  Adam Lambert was runner up.  ;) ;) ;)  That was longer ago than I thought.  Good luck to Mama that they can figure out the cause of her pain.  Enjoy the baseball game  ;D

KAREN   Aww  E23 visiting.  Wonder how far away E23 has ventured?

LISA   SOOOO many details to manage.  I remember when Dad passed, the first thing I did was to call Social Security as his check had just come in the mail and we had yet to open it.  They said put "return to sender "on it and they would need death certificate when we could get it.

BAZI   All good advice!

As of this post---We're down graded to  a severe  thunderstorm watch - which just means conditions are 'right' for severe T storms.

The  entire afternoon has been full of  thunder sounding like gun shot, skies rolling constantly, heavy rain and outbursts. The good thing is the retention pond is
doing it's job--- All this atmospheric activity has hushed the cicadas.   ;)
 And, unless this gets worse --- doubtful it will--- as the back end has begun to move thru . A little rain about 2am tomorrow and  a bit on Friday. Just some light rain. Thankful for that to be sure.   Save for weed growth. ::)

Continue prayers for {{{Greenfield, IA}}}  and God's blessings and consolations to those having lost loved ones.

Lani Oh my. The one day I don't look.  thanks  for the Atlantic Puffin Burrow cam /intruder alert report.  Here's to Willie protector of the nest and Millie the 'good mother'. Egg is safe.

Hi Eagles  the bees can home with us anytime. Without them there's no food or environment . Sending best wishes for your {{{mom}}} and her diagnosis and treatment for her chronic pain. Hope grandson's game goes well and a win for his team.

Baz Jim being a jet pilot for 40yrs  and a weather watcher ...Common sense prevails. Y ou/Zippo take care  too.  ;)  :-*

Karen thanks for update on  E 23 and his travels

Lisa  a lot to get thru with paperwork and legalities. When my dad passed his Soc. Security was electronically deposited. Mom called the  Soc. Security and told them he had passed the day of the deposit. She told me that the e-deposit was debited  to her checking w/in 48 hrs.    :(

LisaG- You & your brother seem to be moving right along in taking care of things for your Mama.  I know it's not easy, but good for you both in what you've done so far.  Glad Oldguy has helped you with information.

Baz- So true about the storm warnings. Well said - thank you so much. Great info.

Tsk- I had forgotten about Adam Lambert being a runner up!    My mom had a productive appt with her specialist today.  Both my sister & I accompanied my mom.       Grandson's team won again! :)  The other team had some really good players too!

Phyl- Thank you for the good wishes for my mom.  She will continue with PT.  She's making a little progress a little at a time with her balancing.  Doctor recommended mom take Arthritic Tylenol for her discomfort.         Bees are definitely a necessity for our environment!!

Beakers stay safe.  Prayers for all the folks in Greenfield

May 11, 2024: 'Day Trip to Decorah!'
 
Story and photos by Robin Brumm

Saturday’s weather was supposed to be perfect, so guess where I went? You guessed it, I went to Decorah to see Mom and DM2. I also wanted to see if I could confirm how many eaglets were in the nest. So I packed up my stuff Saturday morning, and headed to Decorah.

(https://www.raptorresource.org/raptorresource/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/051524-DM2.jpg)
May 11, 2024: DM2 on the nest

When I got to the nest, I noticed one parent in the nest and the other parent on the broken branch where N3 used to be. I looked through my binoculars and it appeared that DM2 was on the nest and Mom was on the broken branch. I didn’t see any eaglet heads, so they must have been napping. I took a few photos of DM2, and then turned to take some photos of Mom. All of a sudden, she put out her wings and did the heraldic pose, or sun pose.

(https://www.raptorresource.org/raptorresource/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/051124-momheraldic.jpg)
May 11, 2024: Mom in a heraldic or sun pose
Eagles are so majestic when they do that pose. It always takes my breath away. After quite a while, Mom flew off the broken branch and started to fly over the nesting area. DM2 flew off the nest and joined her. They both circled around in the area and would come together and then fly apart. Then they would come together again and fly apart. Eventually, Mom flew to the nest and DM2 flew off in the distance.

(https://www.raptorresource.org/raptorresource/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/051124-momfeedingD40.jpg)

May 11, 2024: Mom feeding D40

When Mom got to the nest, she started feeding. As much as I want there to be 2 eaglets, I can confidently say that there is just one eaglet this year. I am so happy that Mom and DM2 have an eaglet this year. It’s been awhile and Mom is such a good Mom! Looking at D40’s plumage and the approximate egg laid date, I think that s/he is about 2 weeks younger than the eaglets at Decorah North Nest. After the feeding, Mom settled down in the nest with D40. D40 did a couple of wing stretches and walked around the nest a bit before laying down. After a while, DM2 came flying to the perch tree to wait for his next turn to watch D40. One thing I notice is that when the eaglets are still young, I do a lot of sitting and waiting for something to happen. Hopefully in a few weeks there will be more action, like flapping and hopping in the nest.
(https://www.raptorresource.org/raptorresource/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/051124-DM2tree.jpg)
By this time I had been there for several hours and I needed to head for home. I always love watching Mom and DM2, and I miss seeing them on camera every day. Not only would I watch pretty much all day during nesting season, I also used to check the cam most evenings, to make sure everybirdy was safe at home and tucked in. I have to admit, when the Decorah Eagle cam goes to highlights, I will often watch them, because the highlights are Mom and DM2 videos. That means, I get to see close ups of Mom! She is still very beautiful and makes me smile.

BL  Pip may have an idea!!  Sorry about the bass...

EAGLES  I had heard that the winner has to commit to a contract with Idol for a year I believe, leaving others to establish their careers maybe a lot earlier than if they had been winners. Don't know it that is true or not.  Certainly many winners have made names for themselves.   Good for Mom to continue with the PT if it makes her better.

Clynn I was ready to add my 2 cents about the multi chalk holder but it must be a Chgo gadget?  I remember it too tsk as drawing the staff lines in music - although I don't have a clear idea of why students were given a lesson where we needed that.

I also thought many times "what cicada?"  That is until  took a look at my trees - and closely at the yard in its entirety.  Billions  and billions, especially if you first come across the empty shells after they emerge.  Once they emerge I have one busy walking aid - Stick helps me squash the buggers!  AND as of yesterday they have also started their chirping.  I guess they're ready to ENJOY!

Puff, I was in school all over the place and I remember teachers using that chalk holder. I don't ever remember it being used for music, like you, we never got that deep into music. Maybe it was used in specific music classes where they actually taught music. With just 3 pieces of chalk it was perfect for teaching cursive!

I found the pictures I took for Bella a few years ago when she found a cicada on a tree ay the park. not sure they are in the exact order...

Spring flowers are not disappointing. The backyard has other than lilac and viburnum yet to open.

Good Morning Beakers
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/51/a6/bf/51a6bf93c7fac63e0d525d4309ce9007.jpg)

oldguy - Thanks again, Brien does feel so much better after talking to someone.

baz - Good advice!

tsk - Calling social security was the first thing I told Brien to do.  Mama had received her check directly deposited the week before she passed, so I assume she was allowed to keep her check? 

Phyl - Wow, on the fastness of them taking the check back.  Glad you afternoon thunder boomer was down graded for you.  Love all the old school pics you posted. 

karen - LOL!!!! The sauna weather!

BrokenLug - Thanks again!  :)

E4E - Not easy when I am here, and he is down there, but we are trying to work thru it.

Lani - Thank you, and oldguy is always very helpful to all of us here in the Beak.  :)

clynn - Pretty cuppa pic this morning.  Oh no, snow for Iris!

Puff, tig, kb and all - Morning  :)

Off to the mall across the bridge.  Wish me luck there will be no traffic.  The Naval Academy is graduating tomorrow, and the Blue Angels have been flying over doing their test run for tomorrow.  Love the sound when they head over this way to make a turn back to Annapolis!

And a pic of sweet Sydney decked out in her Buc-ee's dress that we got her.  A trip down South means a stop at Buc-ee's!

Yup Lisa... lots of strange rules. I remember calling property tax folks after Mom passed as she was due a refund. They said if she had passed a few days later, after they had cut the check, the funds would be hers. Unfair, IMHO.

Post by: kbshcb on May 23, 2024, 09:14:56 AM

Hmm, I remember Scott died on a Sunday early morning.

I called Social Security on Monday morning...they already knew!...so we started the process for survivor benefits then.

Frankly, in today's world I think institutions know pretty fast. Can't hurt to call either but might not have to.

Maybe it's cause he's a veteran?

Bearstudy - Exciting Bear Sightings

17-year-old Lily was seen with four cubs! . The spotters know Lily, and they sent us this picture showing her light muzzle that they took in Lily’s territory with a litter of four—the same size litter as she produced two litters ago. We’ll have our eyes and ears open for follow-up sightings. Lily makes my heart sing.
(https://www.bearstudy.org/templates/yootheme/cache/68/20240510_Lily-68041b5b.webp)

Another exciting sighting today is of 25-year-old RC and her yearling son River. RC is identified by her white check mark on the right side of her chest that gave her the name RC, which stands for Right Check. She is also identifiable by the pattern on her muzzle, a tiny notch near the tip of her right ear, the dip in her back, the scattered white hairs on her forehead, and her manner. RC is the oldest daughter of Shadow, and the second most productive member of Shadow’s Clan with 30 cubs, compared to 24-year-old Donna with her 31 cubs. Shadow herself had at least 26 cubs with a possible additional litter during the six years before we knew her. We’re wondering if River is the last cub RC will produce. Her mother Shadow’s last litter was a single cub. The oldest three black bears to give birth that I’ve heard of were 26, 26, and 28 (Shadow). We don’t know how close to those ages other mothers produced their last litters. If RC produces another cub, she will be 26 at the time, tying the record for the second oldest black bear to produce a litter.

(https://www.bearstudy.org/images/stories/images/Updates_2024/20240510_RC.jpg)

The third exciting sighting was Snowball who chose to pose for a picture showing off her beauty framed by the needles of a tall white pine, the favorite kind of refuge tree in this region.

Howdy Beakers!

(((Lisa))) Sydney looks way older than she is!!! LOL, so cute with a big smile in her Buc-ees dress!!!  :-*

KB, that's a wren. I could not see enough of it to determine which type - there are several. But no doubt, it's a wren. Your flowers are pretty.

TSK, glad Tim is doing well after PT. You are right about that bird being a wren.

Tig, glad you got a great report from your heart monitor. So cross that particular worry off your list.

PUFF, I grew up in NC - and we had music class in public grade school. Those chalk holders were used in many classes in my schools - regular classes, and music classes.

Karen, thank goodness for having A/C! Stay in the cool! I'm just a few degrees less hot than you are... whew! With the same humidity!! Sweatin' to the oldies.  ;)

BL, if the Pickle was heavier on your return home, then it sounds like you started catching fish once you started using the cicadas as lures, as Pip recommended!



Loved all the pics of the bears, the birds, the kids, throwback pics, plants, etc.  :D

Waving to All the Beakers!!  :)


The picture attached below is a Throwback Thursday pic of some of my family members... my father's older sister when she was a little girl, before my father was born, and her/their mother (upper left), and her mother's father (on the right), so 3 generations of my father's family there.  The picture's date is uncertain, but guesstimated between 1916 and 1919. The young girl is my father's older sister, who was born in 1909. The adult woman top left is that girl's mother, my paternal grandmother, whose maiden name I carry as my middle name. The adult man on the right is her father (my father's maternal grandfather, who was my great-grandfather). My father was not yet born when this pic was taken. He was 13 years younger than his older sister (who is the girl in this pic, who was born in 1909). My father was born in 1922. The young boy in this picture is unknown to our surviving family, and could've been a cousin, or just a friend.  Click pic to enlarge it, and turn it right-side up.

Takes me 2 days now but yesterday did the trimming on my front yard red twigged dogwoods and globe arborvitae and burning bush with the hedge trimmer.  ( 6 items)  Today the back yard with a nine bark shrub and 6 dwarf conifers. Clean-up is the hard part  LOL   I have two weigela that are blooming just beautifully this year and I think it is because I did not trim them last year so will not trim again this year.   ::) ::)

Phyl- Like the throw-back school desk!  I remember those!!  That's nice that the Thunderstorms don't bother your Maggie! :)    Thank you for posting for Robin Brumm's Decorah visit!!!

Clynn- Good for Ed at back to work!  Hope all is okay.   Wow, that picture of Iris covered in snow! ::)   Good pics of Cicadas!

Tsk- That's so true- a lot of folks who did not win the 'American Idol' grand prize have gone on to establish themselves and move forward with their music career!
Didn't realize you went to Catholic grade school!  We had our son go to same during grades K-8.

Puff- Are the Cicadas getting into your house?  Sounds like you have a massive amount in your area!   As long as they are not harming you . . . . .

Kb- Hugs & pat on the head for Ollie getting his injection this morning.  Bet he loved the ride back home! :)    I bet you are correct in that Soc Sec knew about Scott's passing so quickly because he is a Veteran!

Tig- Thank you!    That is such good news from your Doctor about the heart monitor! Good for you! :)

LisaG- Good that Brien called Soc. Sec. to ask questions.  Hope your trip across the bridge went nicely.   Sweet Sydney in her Buc-ees dress!!   I had to go back and look at Sydney because I thought she was in a car seat!  They make high chairs different than when my children were young!  :)

My baby book is just like this one.

Tsk in  California schools of 1960s the chalk holder was used primarily for printing and cursive writing instruction.
We had  a music teacher that worked with all grades from 2nd to 6th. He never used that chalk holder---used bonified
music sheet paper.

CLynn the cicadas here will leave their  exoskeletons on my window screens mostly  ::)

Tig congrats on the heart monitor report. Now don't give another thought about it. Thanks for video of Iris and 2rd egg

Phyl, I remember the multi chalk line marker or whatever you call it, as well as the pencil sharpner.... great Decorah pics and update from Robin! It's a huge jOY to see D40! ... I just read what Tsk called the chalk line marker.  ;D

Clynn, no rain, it's all going to your little corner of the world.... awww, snow on Iris's nest and on Dunrovin too.. 3 eggs for Swoop and Winnie at the Dunrovins ... glad it was gone today. They had an female intruder bothering them today... 

Tsk, love your morning cup of coffee.... glad Tim is doing well... you've had a big chore list today.

Puff, Clynn, the multi chalk line marker was used in Hawaii schools too. I mainly remember it for learning the alphabet in elementary, cursive writing and music. I played the clarinet for one year. And not good. LOL! But Band and music was required.

Kb, beautiful flowers... sweet bird chirping a lovely song.

Lisa, so glad Brien is feeling a lot better about things.... oh my little miss Sydney's hair has gotten long, she looks adorable and older than 10 months.  :-* ... awesome Blue Angels.. take care.

{{{Tig}}} YAY! No major concerns! Awesome news... thanks for the video of Iris laying her 3rd egg. The first one was kicked out of the nest by Finn, there is just two now.

Karen, you're like Tsk, lots on your chore list too... good luck tomorrow.

Baz, great family pic and history! Handsome great grandfather and beautiful family! There's so much to see in one pic!

Eagles, I thought the same thing when you said you and your sister were with your mom... It makes it easier on all of you...  Mike is fine most of the time and then he fell last night. But he's okay... Last night he couldn't sleep, he spent some time on his laptop in the kitchen. When he got up from the kitchen swivel chair he missed a step or something and fell. Around 2:30am I woke up to a huge sound coming from the kitchen, he was trying to get himself up. He's a bit sore, but fine... I repaired the swivel chair this morning. Two barring balls had slipped out. I watched youtube and took the chair apart and repaired it. yay, youtube! I'm glad he doesn't have to go to the valley this week and hopefully the next. Because he has to leave for Chicago June 2nd.

All this talk about cicadas, so far they're not here. But the snakes are up and moving. I saw our first Sonoran Desert Gopher snake 5'-6' slither across sidewalk... While Mike was driving away from our driveway, he saw a King snake making its way across the street this morning. :P

Good night!

Those critters will make themselves known and settle in Phyl.  I knew I had some hatching (?) because I saw the remainder carcasses stuck to screen and bark of trees.  But   those purtruding ugly eyes - YUCK.  Only a mother could love, or another cicada.  Once I got back into the garden I also found hundreds   :o  of holes in the ground where they emerged up through the dirt.

I'm late today! Another big storm went through, it woke me up around 4:30. Erin lost power where he lives. He was panicking because the sump pump was of course, not running and he was hauling water out in a bucket as it filled up. There's really nothing that can be done. Now he wants to get a generator that can run the sump pump. And Kelsey slept through everything, she just got up! Erin just texted, no power yet but he has the sump pump running, he has power outlets in his Silverado that he plugged it in to.!

Phyl, majestic GBH and a beautiful sunrise at the Flyway! Wish we could send some of this rain to those who need it! Love those pink sunflowers! Sweet baby book, it's a treasure for sure. Lots of pictures of your Mom, I bet, holding you and so proud of what she made...

Lani, oh no, poor Mike! Hope he's not too sore! Cheers to you for fixing the chair, isn't it amazing what is on youtube to fix or operate anything! Well, for many of us anyway. Mom said there were no instructions that came with the new toaster I sent her, just a piece of paper with the link to see it online! (I checked, there is a youtube video for it). She said she was going to call them (on her landline) and ask them to send printed instructions. I don't know what is complicated about it, it works just like her old one.  ::) ;D ;D Love the Bear report!

E4E, my Mom is the same way, she always has at least one appointment while I am there, and I do all the driving when I am there. It's good for her to have help! She is the oldest of 3 girls (they have 1 brother who is the baby and lives in AZ), they are all widows and Linda, the youngest usually does the driving. They check on each other almost daily and all live within 10 miles of each other. It eases my mind, since I am the closest, 500 miles away.

Lisa, love the picture of Sydney! She is just getting prettier and prettier!  Cathy took us to Bucky's when we were all there in October. Huge place, it took an hour or more just to get a look at everything...and the food! Kelsey has a Buckey's tie dye tee shirt and a mug:

tsk, you are a one-woman yard crew! Are you getting rain? The radar looks like you may get some this afternoon!

tig, thanks for the news on Iris and the 3rd egg!

kb, we have a wren in one of the pine trees. She sings every time we are out on the deck, I think she thinks we are too close!

baz, love the old picture! And that truck!  My Mom has a trove of old pictures, I love going through them. She got many from my Grandmother when she passed away in 2007. She was born in 1916, and I am sure some of her pictures were from her Mother. I have seen old pictures at Goodwill and it makes me sad, that no one cared to keep the memories. Janet ( England) told me that she is going through all of the pictures from their 19 trips to the US and all of the traveling that her and George did with Mom & Dad. They went everywhere and had such a good time! She wants me to have them and is going to send all of it to me when she gets it all organized. They don't have any children, we are their American family. Janet calls Mom every Wednesday and Sunday. Without fail.

Wild Heart Ranch - Good Morning Everyone!!! I had a blast taking pictures of these eastern bluebirds. They were soft-released this week. -Greg

Good Morning Beakers

It has been an active morning here - tornado warning woke us up at 6:40 - a front of about 85 miles lit up with multiple tornado signatures on the radar.  The first confirmed was near Wellman about 20 miles to the SW and aiming for the IC area.  Found a storm chaser on YouTube covering the storm - at one point he identified 7 locations of rotation along the front.  We had some wind that was moving the trees and some heavy rain, but so far no major damage reports for Iowa City - only tree damage reports.  Still have some loud thunder at this time, but only moderate rain.  So far 1 inch or less for the area.

Today is Maru's 17th birthday...

This is a channel that is about an off road vehicle recovery business located in Moab Utah.  They build their own rigs to get into the very challenging terrain of Moab to repair or remove broken down vehicles from the park.  They record the trips, showing the landscape that they are driving thru...  Thought that many here would like to see this for the views as opposed to the work...  ;)

CLYNN   Possible Erin could get a battery back up - That's what we have.  However years ago we did get a generator.  He is very ingenious!!  Great idea with the car outlets  :o   Printed instructions are hard to find these days.  He would never survive if he had to go on-line to find out how to do something. ::)   Yes, your storms are headed this way.  The entire north east corner of Ill is in the watch area.  I will not plan on rain in my yard.  Going to a movie this afternoon after some house work this AM  ;) ;)   You have such wonderful friends and family and so great that you are going through all those pics now when Mom/sisters have the memory for who is who and where is where so you can write it on the photo.

OLDGUY   Happy Birthday Maru.  :)   Oh MY - Monster recovery vehicles - never have seen anything like that.

Clynn  baz  Phyl  Such loverly pics this morn.  I have bluejays, never had my own bluebird.  That crane pic I'd vote for as 1st place prize.  And I wonder what pink sunflower seeds would taste like  LOL .

tsk  I apologize if I'm repeating myself - it's about the talk of old pictures.

When my Aunt passed away, a group of us nieces and nephews went to Longmont, CO, to close up her affairs.  My aunt and uncle had now both passed away; they had no children.

One of the things we came upon was some of those 1920 pics of their early family/friends.  Only a couple even had a brief note on the back with date or first name.  My brother rounded up what we found and took them home to share with my SIL.  She was so very impressed that she took possession and made her plan.  She mounted some that really were sweet, but as they were no in the best condition-wise.  She then mounted them as is and displayed them on a wall in hall of the house alongside her own personal family olde momentto pictures.  They were not family and didn't even have names, but they fit in just perfect on the special display.  They were too nice to toss and even deserved more than to end up in a drawer or album.

Now that both Rod and Judie have passed away, and son David sold their house, I can only wonder and hope that we did good by those loverly people.

P

Part II  (I forgot)

I took on the handling of my Aunt Lydia's jewelry.  With no children and the love of her life, he treated her well.  I gathered it together and made an inventory and sent it to cousins throughout the country.  (I didn't mention my mom's family had 13 children.)  I had things appraised/described and sent out to my cousins.  They had to let me send their choices as I received their picks.  Got selections from both female and male cousins.

I hope all who are or were in the path of the storms this morning are safe!

tig - Thanks for the #3 egg info on Iris!

karen - LOL, look like the little's of Spring Hill!  The high chair does have a tray, pretty sure Bradley took it off, so I could see her in her dress.

E4E - That is good that your mom like when you all go to appts with her.  I like when Jeff goes with me, too.  I am sometimes listening to what the doc says, but not always paying attention.   ::)  It was a quick trip across the bridge.  I dare not go today with the graduation and Memorial Day traffic. 

Phyl - Thanks for kind words on Sydney.  Pretty pink sunflowers.

Lani - I hope Mike is feeling better this morning after his fall.  Yikes, on the snakes being up and moving. 

Puff - LOL, those cicada's are definitely weird looking!

tsk - You be safe if those storms are headed your way. What movie are you going to see??

clynn - LOL, Kelsey got the Buc-ees mug!  I hope you tried the brisket sandwich there.  It is deeelish!  Thanks for kind words on Sydney.  Good luck at chiropractor!

the Bewicks wren with a beautiful song.

Found out the wren I posted it's song with the other day through a friend.

Not in Minnesota nor the Northeast or Southeast as it shows in the link of it's current map.

Unfortunately they suspect the house wren has run this one out of a lot of the country by taking over it's nests and throwing eggs out. Partially due to house wren houses built...

So windy here now on the back side of our rain. Nonetheless, I need to try and take Ollie out soon for his walk. May need to put on more winter like clothes as it's only 63..

Later

Phyl, beautiful Pink Sunflowers! ... good morning pic from the Flyaway!... GBH looking very majestic!

Tsk, my heart just about stopped when I saw him struggling to maintain a standing position by holding the counter and lifting the chair. Sadie's ears were down and in crouching position looking at Mike... That's Mike's comfy chair at the counter, so it needed to be fixed... there's only 3 chairs he is comfy on now...  he can't lift heavy things anymore. We work it out together.  ;D .... I do hearing the cicadas singing its song at night in Kansas... I didn't like them hanging on the screens and things. ICK!!

Clynn, oh poor Erin, the dreaded sump pump! What memories I have of flooded basements.  :( .. Erin is brilliant! Way to get it going!! . ... {{{your mom}}}, Mike's mom would probably ask for the printed instructions too.... awww sweet Eastern Bluebirds  :-*

Oldguy, I can't believe Mari is 17! Happy birthday sweet boy!! ... the High speed welding job! YIKES! Amazing, my heart stopped and back hurt watching! BL would love it!!  ;D

Oldguy, Lori, Clynn, Pink I hope your weather improves for this holiday weekend... Take special care! 🙏

Kb, sweet Bewick's Wren....  our morning temps are still in the 40's, so I've been wearing a light winter coat and even took the gloves back out. I always wear a hat... Have a good walk  ;D

LISA  Almost dark as night here and a quick shower and now light rain.  But SW burbs - PUFF??  have 60/65 mph winds as well as south Chicago.   Angel Studios that made Cabrini has a new one   " Sight"  true story of a Chinese man persecuted in China - becomes very famous eye doc in USA.  Dr Ming.   Good that you don't have to cross the Bridge til Tues  LOL

Post by: Puff on May 24, 2024, 03:20:00 PM

When we moved to Chgo in the 50's tsk 40 cousins sounds familiar.  Don't take that as a for sure though.  I was about 6? But then too all my aunt/uncles were still having kids.  And, it was very hard for Mom to even keep track of her sisters and brothers.  We're talking lots of people and many many cousins.  Making it even harder was we lived at least a minimum 1,000 miles from the nearest ones.  Even Mom found it hard to keep track and make changes for sending birthday and Christmas cards for her sibs, much more so for nieces and nephews.  We were the only ones east of Miss River - The rest were all around the Rockies and west of that. 

More on the ring --- Aunt Lydia knew I liked anything that sparkled. Did ya' know?  Uncle Sam and friend designed an on-going ring design.  As the years went on he might add another diamond for anniversaries.  I'm guessing 1970's she gave me the ring.  O M G  For insurance I got a description and evaluation, at that point $00,000.  Sad story is when she came for a visit one time and I wasn't wearing the ring.  She was hurt that I didn't have it on.  I told her "but you're still with us and it's your ring."  With tears in our eyes (me, auntie, mom) she said "Wear Your Ring and remember me and our love for each other."  When I wear it I always get a tear or two . . . I've lost it even now thinking of her.  They were an important part in my upbringing - They took me in to help Mom and Dad when things were not easy for us.

Final detail - When handling Aunt Lydia's distribution - I passed on claiming anything more.

A new meaning for Memorial Day in my world.  I will wear "our" ring on Monday.   ;D   :'(

Those critters will make themselves known and settle in Phyl.  I knew I had some hatching (?) because I saw the remainder carcasses stuck to screen and bark of trees.  But   those purtruding ugly eyes - YUCK.  Only a mother could love, or another cicada.  Once I got back into the garden I also found hundreds   :o  of holes in the ground where they emerged up through the dirt.

P   

The gardening professionals have said those holes in the ground left by the emerging cicadas are great for the trees! It's like getting free aeration of the soil under and around those trees! They are advantageous for the tree roots, allowing for water to get in the soil better, too. Some people think the cicadas are ugly, and I get that, but I think they're really kind of pretty with their bright green and red colors. They do not damage anything and don't bite or sting, and they don't live very long - only a few days... it's just that there are so many of them. LOL. So it takes a while for the whole brood to emerge and do its matin thing, and then they die after mating and laying their eggs. They feed a lot of animals, like birds, snakes, and anything other critters - ducks, geese, etc., that will grab them and eat them - they provide much needed protein and calories for hungry springtime critters and are good for the environment in many ways. If only they could whisper!!  LOL!!  ;D

EAGLES   Having an advocate for the elderly at doc appts is a great idea esp if memory is an issue...

((Clynn)), hope the chiropractor helped you a lot today! Hugs!Sorry I mis-remembered that it was Ed who was better after PT (not TSK's Tim). Hope Ed is still doing well after returning to work. I hope Erin and Sydney didn't get any water damage from the powerless sump pump before he got it hooked up to his truck. I wonder if their power is back on yet... fingers crossed! I'm posting as I read, so you may already have posted an update about that. Anyway, as TSK said they did, my little sis (grandmother to all my little "greats") and her husband had a sump pump in their home's full and partially-finished and furnished basement, and after it flooded twice from loss of power from major storms, they put in a battery backup, which they always checked to be sure it kicked in when they lost power. They never flooded again after that. A generator is nice to have, but some people can't fit that into their  budgets, so the battery backup is a nice option for a sump pump.

KAREN  Congratulations.  No written or drivers tests?  Funny about motorcycle renewal  LOL

PUFF  Amazing you were the only ones residing east of the Miss. R. out of that huge family. :o   What a sweet story about Aunt Lydia and the ring.  :-*

BAZI   " if only they could whisper"   ;D ;D  So correct about the battery backup.  We didn't get the generator for years later when we were spending the time in Door county.   Also part of the decision was a terrible storm that took out neighborhoods of electricity, ours included.  We were 5 DAYS without power and lost both frigs despite trying to keep food cool in coolers and not realizing we would have needed dry ice!

Highly recommend "Sight"  It will probably stream in a month or two.

A big thunderstorm is on my doorstep, and so I am going to power down and unplug. Golf ball sized hail to the north of me... hope it doesn't come to my parking space!! So I will need to come back over the weekend to post the things I was hoping to post now.

Everyone please stay safe, and I hope Erin and others who lost power have it back now!

I have pics I wanted to post from the "last day of kindergarten" party in my Littlest Greatniece's backyard yesterday - with all her 5K classmates, and Baby Bro, of course!. The had a blow up water slide thing that was great fun, and lots of snacks and water games, popscicles, and other Moms of the kids with pizza, and fruit, and everyone had a fun time. School's OUT for Summer!!   ;D

Oh just adore those WHR BB juvies. Now you can see what I can't capture with an i phone! Those cute faces and roly-poly speckled bodies .  :-* :-* :-* :-*

Lani yikes Mike fell---what a struggle for him with that chair.  :(
Oh that 'white' lab frolicking in the water.  :)

OG an abrupt awakening for you both. Tks for keeping us informed. Tks for Maru videos , he's almost as old as my Maggie.  The Moab  video, too---interesting h/s welding.  Glad you and Lori are safe during this weather.

Tig so you and Camper leave for your lakeside 'vaca' today in the AM. Be safe  and all.

{{{Puff}}} no love loss on my part with  the cicadas; tks for info on the family snap good thing info was written on the back; that vintage jewelry,  even costume,  is worth a small fortune. Esp in Nashville downtown Printers Alley...many 'stars' will pay top dollar for these as they wear them performing.  {{{ Aunt Lydia}}} and her  ring---touching story.

Karen  congrats on the new DL.  ;)  Did you take a good photo?   Pets to Piper.

Tsk  I've seen 'Sight' advertised  . Dr Wang lives and practices here in downtown Nashville ; offices at The  Vision Institute https://wangvisioninstitute.com/ (https://wangvisioninstitute.com/)
Dr Wang did surgery on Jim's eyes to restore his vision and eliminated the need for glasses.  As I went to Jim's appointment---I met him and chatted with him---he's a wonderful doctor and surgeon. Truly gifted  and world renowned.
I have a snap of Dr Wang and Jim together (me being the photographer) I'll have to hunt ti up and load to PC and upload to Pinterest if I can find it.

Ohyl, did Jim have that  laser surgery!   
Clynn, did Erin’s power come back on?  He is probably smart to get a small generator  or one that will run that and part of the house as batteries do not last that long and have to be replaced .  He is a smart man! Hope Ed is doing well!
Going to do a few things and turn in!  Safe travels tig and camper and have a fun time!  Catch some fish!

Hello Beakers

It was a cloudy and cool day here after the early morning alarm... hit a high of 74 just before a small shower cooled us off to 66 and stayed under 70 the rest of the afternoon.
The tornado this morning was on the ground from Wellman to Frytown which is about 8 miles - rated as EF1 - winds of 100 mph recorded at Wellman.  A total of 4 tornados from that storm - to the south and east of Iowa City.

Puff- The Cicadas look scary! :o ::)   Just read what you said about how Ton was the only one allowed in the room when he had a Doctor appt.  I can't believe they wouldn't let you in - even if it was during covid.  They should have let you in.   I remember during covid, that either my sister or I were allowed in with my Mom (not both of us) and of course we had to wear a mask. 
That was a beautiful way you guys chose to handle those old family pictures and display them even tho you didn't know all the folks in the photos. :) :)

Phyl- I would need to look again at my baby book, but I'm pretty sure my baby book is the same as yours, except mine is yellow!  My brother's baby book was blue!  He was 14 months younger than I.    Thank you for Robin Brumm's report!!!   Pretty pink sun flowers.
Love the nest pics!

Lani- Oh no!! So sorry to hear that Mike took a fall in the kitchen late at night.  I'm glad he is fine other than being a bit sore.  Hope he takes it easy for a couple of days to make sure he has recouped. {{Mike}}

Tsk- Yes, my mom wouldn't be able to remember everything the doctor says during her appt.   So it really helps when we are with her!   This doctor (pain specialist) is still recommending my mom to continue PT.  My mom is happy to continue with it too.

Clynn- Good for Erin in having power outlets in his Silverado!  Perfect for an emergency situation!    Thank goodness for having family members to accompany the patient to their medical appts.!!  Thank goodness for you and your Sisters! :)

Oldguy- Thank you for weather update/status!

Tig- Have a fun and safe trip when you guys head out tomorrow! :)

LisaG-  I usually go with my hubby to his doctor appts.  He likes me to be with him!

Kb- Hope you & Ollie were able to take a walk!

Karen- Congrats on your driver's license!! :)

Baz, BL, Lori  :)

Goodnight Beakers   - SEDs :)

BL, if the Pickle was heavier on your return home, then it sounds like you started catching fish once you started using the cicadas as lures, as Pip recommended!

Boga Grip landed and soft released on one heck of a Bass Pickle canoe day for sure Baz.    8)

Broke out one of Grandfathers hand made cicada like top water hopper popper lures on the lite tackle at sunrise.

Many critters joined us at this shoreline for the start of the fishing day.

The Bow, Kopje  _  not fishing or catching  _  still as a dog gets. 

Good Boy. Good Boy.

There is nothing purer than large mouth bass biting at a NY lake at sunrise.

{{{Puff}}} thank you for sharing your sweet story of Aunt Lydia and "our ring." You have many wonderful memories of your family.

{{{Karen}}} Congratulations! Happy for you! And to think you could have had a motorcycle renewal too.  ;D ... Mike sometimes forgets he can't turn his hips anymore. Yes, he was embarrassed.

Baz, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the Cicadas. I wonder if we will see them here. I hope you and Zippo are okay after the storm.

Phyl, I didn't realize there are so many beautiful variety of Pink sunflowers.

Clynn, I hope your appt with chiropractor went well. And electric power returned to Erin and all.

Camper and Tig, safe travels and have a good time.

Oldguy, thanks for links.

{{{SED Eagles}}} :-*

Good Morning Phyl and Bean,kers!  Another early am for Piper and me!  Who knows why!   Happy caturday!  71 now with a high if ☹️91!   Humidity in the nineties and no rain expected!  Sauna like outside!  Old Guy, glad you were  not in the way of the tornados!  Very unusual for Iowa!
Have a laundry list of chores for today and am not sure where I will start or stop!  Have a few plants to put in the ground, garage to be swept out, rearrangement on some shelves  out there, sorting through  stuff in have some very ok
Ld pictures that are interesting a chest out there, cleaning in spots on the porch,  just stuff!  Old taxes to shred,… nothing of much importance.  Think my baby book went out in the trash!  Nothing much in it!  Have a ton of old pictures both in my mind and in a drawer!  Plan to look at them soon and discard most and many  have no info  as to who they are and  so no one to leave them to so plan to pitch!  Sad but not really!   I would prefer todo the decent  disposal !   I have pictures from family members  who died and I got them while handling their affairs!  Some very old , interesting photos!  There are many like them in antique stores! 
Anyway, I have chores to do and Piper to play with!  She is  ready for vaccinations!   She has been here a year!  It does not seem possible!   Been out out of the home longer than that!   Yea!

Phyl, love the hiding cat, I almost missed him!  ;D  I remember Mom saying that when she had cataract surgery the doctor said he could correct her vision at the same time so she wouldn't need glasses. She has worn glasses all her life and said no thanks, she couldn't imagine not wearing glasses! I can't imagine any of my cats wearing a raincoat and actually walking in the rain!  We have a spray bottle in about every room! Don't even have to actually squirt it, just point it at Sam or Sophie and they skedaddle!  Awww, the kitties under the umbrella...

Lani, had a good session at the chiropractor it really helped. Erin's power was off for about 2.5 hours, so all is well. Some wind damage not too far from his house!  Beautiful sunset in your good night picture!

BL, the bass must love seeing you and Kopje, they come out to welcome you and jump into your frying pan!

E4E, a few years back Mom gave each of us an album she put together with pictures/mementos from birth through high school, along with our baby books! Every report card and school picture. She has been working on a military album with all of Dad's papers, assignments, awards etc.

oldguy, glad to hear yhe tornado missed you! Thanks for the links, wow, Maru is 17!

karen, and you were sure you were going to flunk the driver's test! Take it easy on those chores, you don't want to over do it!! Playing with Piper sounds the best!

Bailong Elevator, also known as the Hundred Dragons Elevator, is a glass elevator located in the Wulingyuan area of Zhangjiajie, China. It is considered to be the world's tallest outdoor elevator, standing at a height of 326 meters (1,070 feet).
The elevator was built into the side of a cliff in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and it takes visitors up to the top of the cliff where they can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

BAZI   Hope all went well with your storm yesterday.   ???

PHYL   Sure are a lot of those pink sunflower varieties  :o  Oh my gosh Phyl.  You know Dr Wang.  What a privilege and now you must see his back story...He appears at the end of the movie to verify that everything you saw was true and explain about his institute.  I'll be sure to tell Tim.   Cute pic of Maggie hiding in 2022  :)  Funny white kitty too.  :) AND  rainy day cat  pics  ;D   LOL  calico with the raincoat   ;D ;D

OLDGUY  Good Sister Golden Hair cover.  :)  Do you work this weekend?  Cards tonight?

TIG  Safe trip today.

KB  Thanks for the Ft Snelling photo.  Something to contemplate.  :(

CLYNN   Is Kelsey in charge of the spray bottle?  ;) ;)  Mom's working on a military album will be a real treasure.  Great pic of the kids with their specially made tees  ;D ;D  Bella looks so cute with her new glasses.  Not sure about that elevator ride  :o

KAREN   Boy you are one busy gal these days.  Over a year now since you have been back home.  :) :)

Clynn, Nice present from your Mom! 🧑
Forgot, I just ordered 2 packs of sunflower seeds!  One is strawberry
Pink and one is blue!  Even if I get ,one of each  l be happy to see them! Seeds from both are edible!
Meorial Day began in the 1880s as decoration Day  by the union states to honor the dead from the union army during the Civil .war.  It later included those who died while serving  in the military in all wars.  For many years tge holiday was not accepted in the south. Because of its origins.   The holiday was celebrated  on May 30th until congress chaned it to create another 3 day weekend!   Many people  honor all dead on this day but the original  honoree were those who died  serving during the war!   Not to be confused with .veterans Day.

Pity y'all can't be here today - National Italian Beef Day.  I'll be celebrating with one of the best.  Small Darien has our own Buono Beef; one of the first, I'll also vote for the best.  Still family owned.  Ton grew up in the hood with his friend, Taylor Street in Chgo.  So many choices though.  I've tried in other cities on US travels.  Just not the same as ours.

I'm curious - does any of the rest of USA know about Taylor Street, Chicago?

Shame about Portillo's.  Food is now different (except for the chopped salad - yummy).

karen - I got my driver's license in Mississippi, not written test either back in the 80's.  The highway patrol officer took us out for a drive around the block and said, you're good to go!  ;D
Hope you and Piper are staying cool!

oldguy - I hope there was no loss of life with the tornadoes yesterday.  Thanks for the tunes. The 2nd group is good! 

E4E - Jeff is the same  :D  By the way, thank you!  :-*

Lani - What a beautiful good night pic last night. Mike feeling ok? Those lil ice cream comes for ssrl's bday pic is so cute!

Phyl - Sweet pic of Maggie hidden.   

kb - Absolutely, the reason for the long weekend.  :-*  Yard look pretty. 

clynn - Great pics of the munchkins on the last day of school, and I bet you can't wait for Wednesday's!!  My ex-SIL made something for her girls, like your Mom made for you all. 

tsk - Rhubarb and strawberry sauce sounds delicious.  How did your re-potting of the Christmas cactus go?

Puff - Enjoy your Italian Beef sandwich! It sounds delicious.  Bring me one to ATF! just kidding!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SSRL!!

BL, if the Pickle was heavier on your return home, then it sounds like you started catching fish once you started using the cicadas as lures, as Pip recommended!

Boga Grip landed and soft released on one heck of a Bass Pickle canoe day for sure Baz.    8)

Broke out one of Grandfathers hand made cicada like top water hopper popper lures on the lite tackle at sunrise.

Many critters joined us at this shoreline for the start of the fishing day.

Bailong Elevator, also known as the Hundred Dragons Elevator, is a glass elevator located in the Wulingyuan area of Zhangjiajie, China. It is considered to be the world's tallest outdoor elevator, standing at a height of 326 meters (1,070 feet).
The elevator was built into the side of a cliff in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and it takes visitors up to the top of the cliff where they can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

KB   Gorgeous yard!!  Do you have bricks lining your entire gardens?

LISA  Cool cat this AM  :)  Repotting not as bad as I had anticipated.  Had gotten a larger pot and the right cactus soil from the nursery so set it all up outside on the grass.  Used my garden knife to cut all the way around the ceramic pot it was in and it just fell out.  It was totally root bound so loosened the soil a bit.  Hardest part is lifting the "fronds" and getting the soil in by hand all the way around and packing it down.  Got it all watered and it weighed a ton carrying it in to my dining room window  LOLOL  Won't be doing that again.

Karen, yay! It's been over a year now since you came home from "the home!"  Now don't overdo - we don't want you to backslide! You and Piper stay in the cool and enjoy the day!  :)  P.S. Last year, I finally went to get my "Real ID" D/L, and they asked me if I wanted to keep my motorcycle endorsement on it. I said no, I guess I wouldn't pay the extra charge for that since I don't have a motorcycle, or ride one anymore (that endorsement's gotten kind of pricey now!). The woman said to me that I had already paid for it on my last renerwal, so just keep it for now!! I guess you and I need to put on our helmets and get our motors running! LOL!!  :D :D

PUFF  We have a Buono Beef a couple miles from here.  I always forget about it as it is not a way I often go so don't see it.  Only thing I've ever gotten from Portillos is the chopped salad  LOLOL

LANI   How did they get those cats to march like that  ;) ;D  Two very funny gifs  ;D

First farmer's market today - had to park 2 blocks away at 8:45 this AM!!!   Got some rhubarb and strawberries for sauce which is cooling on the stove now.  :D    This afternoon my goal is to somehow put my XMas cactus in a larger pot.  Hope not to break too many fronds  ??? ???

TSK, yum on that sauce you made! I'll be right over to enjoy some of whatever you're going to put it on!  ;D  Hope your Xmas cactus re-pots without breakage, but if any fronds break off, you can stick them in a little soil and they will root and start new plants! I haven't ever done that, but my neighbor does it with hers. I don't know if she dips the ends in any rooting powder or not.

UPDATE: TSK, I just saw your cactus re-potting went well. Yay! I bet it looks great!

Did I miss how the chiropractor visit went? Hope all's well.
I bet they can't wait for Wednesdays with Grandma /Grandpa. You always have such fun and interesting activities for them.
Bailong Elevator,  whoa!   What an engineering marvel  certainly be worth a visit and a few rides.


Tsk a nice massage would be purrfect.  ;D Cute for Caturday. Rhubarb & strawberry sauce over ice cream  would be yummy
Glad to here the repot of Christmas cactus went well


Karen 'Congrats' on your 1 yr anniversary-- being back on your own again !  ;)

OG Relieved you  and that tornado missed each other. Truly hope there weren't any injuries/fatalities. Tks for tunes. Good luck at cards tonight if you have a game.


Lisa Hey! There's Bandit.  Nah...Phillipina is a sweetheart.

Bazi tks for the family news and update/snaps

Puff that Italian  beef sand  sounds really delish. Goin' South of the Border tonight for us.

Lori pretty yellow floral birthday greeting for SSRL, cute puppies. And, that white choco blueberry cupcake--- enough to go 'round?
Hope you Dad, Destini, your grandmother  and you are doing well.

TIG/Camper safe travels  to/ at the lake. . Ooops. You two made it to lake safely---tks .  Glad 'skeeters' aren't that bad. Hope Camper takes plenty of photos

Sounds like you have an oldie but goodie with that cactus tsk.  Definitely in need of tending to it sounds like.  Did you say which one?  Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving?
BTW since I went for their $5.99 beef sandwich today, I also tried Buono's salad.  For $10.99 you get a small slice-of-pie size plastic salad serving of their strawberry/avocado/chicken salad.
Reject!  Not only too small, there's no good taste, actually no taste. 
Buono is still family owned Dad, Wife, 3 boys.  They're thinking of going franchise. . .Maybe  the rest of the beakers will have a chance to try it.  Their Italian beef I highly recommend; and, make sure you get it baptized (?).

Portillo's is the hot dog champ!  They are also the chopped salad champ.  $12.99 but enough for two meals.  They are now all over the country, too.  They are now individually owned.  Joe sold to corporate and things are not quite great now IMHO.  But I'd still urge you all to try the chopped salad.

KB You've got a landscape talent, and a lot of stamina.   :o  I think you have yard fever like I do, it can be really satisfying and a beautiful end product.  That being said, I still haven't finished.  4 chores and a luncheon today - tomorrow rain again.  The rest of the week looks promising that I can finish this week.  Because of the lunch today I did my nails last night.  That is what's left of them.  Time to start growing a new crop of nails now.  You're finished outside too aren't you tsk?  You both make me feel late?

baz Your staircase to the clouds made me gasp.  My first thought was " /scary haunted house - but stairs I dubbed killers.  Similar reaction, same idea.

And the NC/vacay pictures show everyone having some nice times.  It also showed a lot of missing front teeth.  ;D  Must be contagious.  LOL

out on that side of the garage. That sure looks so much nicer. The two that did remain I transferred to the back  on the left-hand side of the landscaping

Lani, cute videos you posted, that sweet dog and cat hugging each other, and how a mouse must feel when the cat is out there! Hope you and Mike and the furries are doing well! Mike is home this week right?  Gorgeous lions!

Phyl, the kids stopped by yesterday to bring me my birthday present, they told me it wasn't ready on my birthday. They each made me a gift at a place called Glazed Expressions. It's a place where you can paint ceramic items and have them glazed. They were both so proud of their work, especially Talon! He painted the eagle, Bella painted the gnome. My, the baby bluebirds have grown! This is the second batch, right?  And it's fledge watch already? Jim is a trooper, for sure. I hope he is taking lots of breaks!  Ed works for half an hour and takes a 2 hour break!  ::) ::)

tsk, yay on getting the cactus re-potted! Mom has a couple of large ones, I transplanted one of them when I was home in April. She has kept them going for years (and years!)! strawberry and rhubarb goes well together, Mom always makes jam. Yum!

baz, great pictures of all the little ones, Punkin' is looking good and Lil Bro is a cutie! They all look so happy!

Lisa, I wouldn't mess with Phillipina either! She doesn't look very happy!

karen, you're doing so good since you've been home! And you passed your driving test!  Watch out everyone!  LOLOL!

Niagara Falls without water, 1969
For six months in 1969 North Americas most iconic waterfall was purposely “de-watered”.
This was done by the US army corps of engineers, because they wanted to conduct a geological survey of the falls’ rock face.
They were concerned that it was becoming too destabilized from erosion.
In order to do this the army had to built a 600ft (182 m) dam across the Niagara River.
This dam consisted of 27,800 tons of rock.
In November 1969 in front of 2,650 spectators, the temporary dam was dynamited, restoring the flow of water.

TIG  Ouch start to your vacay.  ???

PUFF   Who owns the Buono Beef near me? in Rosemont or DesPlaines?  Never done with yardwork  LOL  Did some major weeding yesterday.  Found 3 monarch eggs altho Tim only has seen the monarchs  ::)  Am not sure these early ones are viable tho.  We shall see.  Kind of early.

PHYL  Cyprus ?  I only know cyprus as a tree?  Such different coloring when the bluebirds are babies  ;) ;)

CLYNN  Bright yellow Sunday  :)  - dark gloomy day. LOL  What wonderful gifts from the kids.  Yes Talon did a great job on the eagle.
For all the work the Army corps of engineers did I hope they got the results they wanted from the geological survey  :o :o

tsk Last word I got ala Ton was that Buono was still family owned and operated.  Joe and wife have 3 middle-aged boys who were in charge of operations.  There are/were plans to sign into a franchise arrangement, still maintaining ownership of name and operations.  Of course that was at least a year ago per Ton.

Portillo's went the other way - Kids didn't want to continue so he sold name/business to a corporate group (?).  Dick started cutting back about 10  years ago.  He also had a couple fine dining fish restaurants, KeyWester, one in Naples, FL, and one in Naperville, Route 59.  Naper closed and finally was razed about 3 or 4 years ago.  Great selections, good food?!  Not sure about FL.

Trying to straighten out in old mind - one guy started on Taylor/Canal, one started in Villa Park.

Looks like my paper is going to get soaked.  Usually here by 6 am.  And. . . now it's getting ready to pour.

Looks like it might be a little chilly up there, tig? - chilly enough to see your melody/song....LOL

Had a new? sewer clean out guy already this am...using a water jet...in the past they've used an auger. This seems a way it might actually clear paint/grease etc. that might be lining the pipe better? We shall see.

As you all know, I got the 90 degree broken angle of my pipe repaired last year. Which is past the "dip"/"pool" area, which was not repaired. Insurance wouldn't pay for that as it wasn't broken and added cost outside of my policy cap..

Furthermore someone laid concrete over that part of the pipe which is the floor of Scott's shop. Ultimate fix will be to jack hammer the floor and completely straighten that part of the pipe...about 15 feet. But, mucho bucks.

I was hoping that the 90 degree angle part repaired might solve the problem. Nope, 10 months later here we are.

Was told by many the city itself laid these pipes and intentionally created that pool..well, you know tp will drop in the pool and clog it...dumb idea that is supposedly in most of our homes built in the mid to late 50's.

Had planned to walk Ollie and mow the back yard today, but well tig..it looks like it is or is going to rain shortly.

Made it here safely. Skeeters not too bad at the cabin, yet.
Guess what? I got a refresher course on the pontoon and he pointed out the new ELECTRIC WINCH for the anchor. YAY!!! My back and arms are so happy...

Mostly unpacked. Time to put the feet up while Camper does some exploring.

PHYL  Cheetah cam  :o :o

TIG  Enjoy your relaxation!

TSK, Baby Bro does look cold in that pic, but I think maybe just his lips were cold from the frozen popscicle, because it was 86 degrees at 3pm that afternoon there!! So I don't think they were cold.  :D  My neighbor had a shallow dish of soil by her front door the other day with several of the cactus pieces from her Xmas cactus stuck in the dirt to start rooting. Only one section was above the dirt for each starter plant, but I don't know what was below the soil surface - maybe another whole section, or maybe she had half a section in the dirt with 1 section attached above? I don't know what her procedure is, but her Xmas cacti always look great!

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


(https://media1.tenor.com/m/7l9w67YE2nsAAAAC/what-a-sunny-day.gif)


I didn't walk yesterday, but I walked 34 minutes this morning - got out early today before the heat of the day hit.

It got to 93 here yesterday, with even higher "feels like" temps, due to the heat index. I was hoping for the forecasted afternoon thunderstorms to cool things down yesterday. I got the thunder, but not the rain... LOL... Nearby areas of town, just to my north, and just to my south, like really close by, got between 1.5 and 2 inches of rain or more, and I didn't even get enough to wet the sidewalk - just a few drops here and there, which evaporated as soon as they hit... the meaning of "scattered thunderstorms." LOL. Today, it's not as hot, but will be in the upper 80s, so plenty warm. No rain in my forecast for quite a few days now.

I'm getting ready to make some late lunch, and then enjoy some cold seedless watermelon... it has the very little white seeds, so it isn't completely seedless, but they are not really noticeable... and this watermelon turned out to be very sweet... from Florida. Yum, I hadn't eaten any watermelon in at least a year, maybe two!  :D

Karen, where are you? I hope you didn't do too much yesterday and that you and Piper are having a good day. You had quite a "To Do" list yesterday! And I'm sure your temps were even warmer yesterday than mine were! I hope you and Piper are enjoying relaxing in the cool today!  :)


Later, Gators!  :D

Good afternoon! 
Baz, my chore list is for the weekend!  Did a part of it yesterday, a few light things today.  Some of what I have will wait  for  Tuesday and  Wednesday when I have help!  Do, not wNt to fall if I am here alone!   Did some laundry, put a flag out, read the news and the beak and checked the weather!   Filled the hummer  feeders, Not anything exciting!
Read the tornado’s   And storms are the  result of  extreme heat in Mexico and the .gulf  ant the  cold in the  northwest.   I am not looking forward to hurricane season as the hotter the Gulf, the worse it is!
Have had  thunder storm warnings But so far  they have moved on just to our north!
Clynn, just a thoughtful and  beautiful present  from
Talon and Bella!  Very  well done
Tsk, I have only seen Phyls plants as trees as well!  Phyl.Hope Him is taking frequent breaks!
Tig, what did you mean by saying you were sleeping well now that you were in a regular bed?

Tsk, nice rain!

tsk - Yes, no hospital stay.  Twin City Orthopedics (TCO) has a great program for joint replacement.  I did outside and home PT for about 6 weeks prior to surgery.  TCO has their own outpatient surgery center.  When surgery is complete, I was transported with a nurse to the TCO Excel care suites to a private room.  24-hour nurses on duty and nursing aides plus a Dr. makes the rounds.  They have you up and walking a few times that afternoon and evening.  Meals included from a nearby restaurant.  All medications are prescribed and given to you by the nurse.  In the morning, PT with an in-house physical therapist and then home.  Started outside PT 3 days after surgery and do twice a week plus my home PT.  Was walking using a cane to do stairs as soon as I got home.  Pretty impressed with the TCO program.  And it's all covered under Medicare Part B with one bill for the entire thing.  Keeps it simple.  I've never experienced this kind of care before and highly recommend to those in our area.  :)

Thanx for sharing SSRL. My bro had TCO and liked it. Aside from not wanting to sleep on my side with the heart monitor on this past month, I had not climbed the stairs to go to bed the month prior. I need to get back to riding the recumbent bike and getting my legs strong again.
My clinic said I could switch from Summit Ortho to TCO, no problem. They have doctors at TCO that do the special replacement that is fit specifically to your leg, not a one size fits all.
Heading out soon to do our annual ride the shoreline to see what is new trip.

SSRL   I've not heard of anything like that here altho there must be LOL and I just don't know about it.  So it is not affiliated with any hospital.  Tons of prep ahead of time.  When you say "outside" PT do you mean at an out-patient clinic? and home PT refers to doing them on your own at home what you've been taught?  Is your other knee "normal"?   Sorry for all the questions - just curious as this seems new to me

Good Evening Beakers!  I have been working on the Memorial Day Collages for the last few hours...they are all done and ready for tomorrow! We have been doing some cleaning in the yard, the city is going to do a free pickup of yard waste from the storm last Tuesday and we have a lot to put out! Plus some from that last winter heavy snow that broke a few branches on the pine trees, we'll put them out too. There are piles by the street all over the city!  I also took Sam and Sophie out for their first stroller ride, and they loved it (I think!)! They didn't tell me that but they seemed very happy! I also had coffee with nr at Barnes and Noble this morning. She had tea, of course! We had a good chat!

E4E, glad you got to take your Mom and Sis to the cemeteries, it's an important thing to do if you can... I helped Mom get flowers ready for the Bone Gap Cemetery when I was there last month. Dad is buried there as well as my Mom's parents and Aunt Clara and Uncle Albert.

karen, I also heard this could be a bad hurricane season because of the warm up of the ocean and El Nino, El Nina and La Nina and whatever else runs the weather. if the tornado season is a sign, then it won't be too good for hurricanes either!

tsk, glad you got the rain you needed, no fun trying to water everything! I had this article in my Pinterest about how to start a Christmas cactus from a piece. The one surprising thing was that you need to let the piece just lay out for 2 or 3 days so it can dry! I always immediately stuck a broken piece in the dirt and watered it. No wonder I didn't have much luck!   https://www.thespruce.com/propagate-christmas-cactus-7643777

Lisa, you need rain too? It's just not right that some places get flooded and others have drought!  ::) ::)

baz, I don't call 93 warm, I call it hot! You need some of this rain too! Ah, a good watermelon! It's always a crap shoot to buy a watermelon or a cantaloupe! I hate getting one that basically has no taste and it seems like a lot are like that! I got a good cantaloupe last week!  Don't taunt the gator...good advice!

Tig,  :)

Clynn, you had a busy day! You put the cats in a stroller? How cute!  I've seen those for senior dogs, not around here. How does Harley like it when it's his turn? Finn and Iris are doing great together. So happy about that.

{{{Eagles}}}  Many thanks to your dad and uncle for their service. Sounds like you had a lovely day with your family especially on this special weekend. We miss not being able to visit our families too.

Good Morning Everyone....

(https://www.holiday-times.com/wp-content/uploads/Memorial-Day-in-the-United-States.png)

Currently: 52F clear , High  80F sunny,  Low 52F


   Many thanks to all those who've posted nest updates and photos. Yes, 'Iris and Finn' has a very nice sound.
We've had two rounds of thunderstorms today one in AM and the other tonight about 1am. We're hoping for early  AM Thunderstorms (thinking of Jim out
in that 'wetness' at work). And, a dry late afternoon so I can grill Jim's hot dogs for dinner. If I've missed anyone or anything--- it's unintentional. Got loads on my plate with the fight w/ vet about Maggie; my round of Doc appts and it's issues; I have 5 trees and 6 volunteer bushes to schedule for removal . All that's gonna be spared is the giant volunteer willow over the hill at the base of our backyard. The wildlife favors that one and so do I.

CLynn thank you for the lovely Memorial Day tribute to our Beakroom veterans who are no longer with us. ..I'm especially  by your including my Dad.


Lani love you Ginger kitty--make me think of 'Bob'  :-*

BL tks for PF and the NPR music desk

Ssrl glad you had a nice B day celebration ; prayers for continued success with healing and all


CLynn those are wonderful ceramics by/from Talon and Bella --always to be treasured.  Re: the bluebirds, yes this is the 2nd clutch . Yep! we're on lookout
for those four---easy to tell by seeing them perch in the nest box opening (that little round hole). Then poof! suddenly they're gone flapping those little wings
like crazy making their way to the big willow where Mom and Dad are waiting. If I'm really 'lucky' not only will I see this. But, also 'push and lift off'.
LOL as usual I'll not have the camera up to my face for a snap.  ::)

Tsk sure wish I could work like you in yard/garden---no balance and knees are 'shot'

Tig take care  :-*  with yourself

Karen I was gonna post this about 'This Year's Hurricane Season'  tomorrow.  Here's the link to the LiveScience article on  the  record 25 named storms that NOAA has predicted.    https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/hurricanes/this-years-hurricane-season-could-see-25-named-storms-noaa-says-in-record-breaking-forecast?utm_term=C190B63E-87C3-4395-B655-61057A13DDD2&lrh=85d7c3d5cd473d225368af62a6ed9988991e13ae1f632526d69b30725b7979c7&utm_campaign=368B3745-DDE0-4A69-A2E8-62503D85375D&utm_medium=email&utm_content=10BCCA98-136A-40BF-BCA2-81D895B67234&utm_source=SmartBrief  (https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/hurricanes/this-years-hurricane-season-could-see-25-named-storms-noaa-says-in-record-breaking-forecast?utm_term=C190B63E-87C3-4395-B655-61057A13DDD2&lrh=85d7c3d5cd473d225368af62a6ed9988991e13ae1f632526d69b30725b7979c7&utm_campaign=368B3745-DDE0-4A69-A2E8-62503D85375D&utm_medium=email&utm_content=10BCCA98-136A-40BF-BCA2-81D895B67234&utm_source=SmartBrief)

CLYNN  Nice that you met up with NR.  Guess she did not find a new place to move to?  Yard waste collection is included in our taxes and picked up every week.  Huge branches require a special pick-up.   Stroller ride?  Pics?  I bookmarked that cactus link.  In case my transplanting did not go well I have the option of starting a new one - less heavy  LOL     Finn is the best mate EVER.  What a wonderful collage.  Love looking at each pic whenever you post it.  Thanks so much for keeping this for our memories.

BL  What an honor to have your great great grandfather's flag.

LANI    From the crazy traffic you can return to the solitude of your forest  :-*

TIG   LOL  OH no depth finder light on, ::)  You've never seen a cicada???

PHYL  Lots on your plate.  What's the issue with Maggie?

tsk, I will get a picture of Sam and Sophie in the stroller today! My plan is to walk the paved path around the park every day, I hope it's not closed off because they are replacing all of the play equipment! I need a shopping cart or a stroller, somehow my hips don't bother me if I have something to push!

Phyl, yes, I am concerned too, what's up with Maggie? And why are you taking down five trees? Are they diseased or just junk volunteers that make a mess?  And what's up with your Dr, appts? (Gee whiz, I am nosey... sorry, you don't have to answer anything you don't want to!) Kelsey wants brats on the grill today, I may make some potato salad and some deviled eggs, seems traditional! 

Look at this tee shirt that popped up on FB:

karen - Glad to hear you are waiting for the help to arrive with some of the things you need to do. 

ssrl - That sounds like an excellent program. 

E4E - Sounds like you had a nice day with Mom & sis, and also working in your yard.  Nice temps you are having!

clynn - Yes, we need a lil rain.  It seems like once the weather system hits the Chesapeake Bay it either breaks up, or splits and goes either N or S of us.  They say it is going to rain today, we will see.  Love that you took S&S for a stroller ride!  Great pic of Iris and Finn!   ;D ;D love The Cicadas t-shirt!

Lani - Glad you had a good trip to town.  It has been a quiet weekend here.  We thought the traffic was going to be bad when we went out yesterday, but it surprised us and it was not!

BL - Thanks for the tunes  :)

Phyl - Sorry you have so much on your plate.  Don't let it stress you, and get done what you can. 

tsk - I see you got a good amount of rain yesterday. 

kb, Puff and all - Morning  :)

tig - correct on our annual round of cicadas...I have them in my yard however. Not just wooded areas.
I have seen them and their exoskeletons in my yard and on my trees.

I actually love the sound...around here, they typically show up late July and early August. For me, it signals the end of summer is coming..

Morning everyone!

Had a lovely chat yesterday with Clynn - then purchased some annual flowers like salvia for the hummingbird that has been stopping by my patio, but I didn't have anything in bloom for them.  Peppermint in one pot, and another full of blooming  flowers, as well as 7 of 9 tomatoes transplanted to their final containers for the season.  Still have some cleanup, etc to do on the patio.

Made a trip to Trader Joe's this morning, got a roasted veggie pizza for lunch/dinner.   WF osprey still incubating and ok after all of the storms. ( I check on them still eventhough I don't work there anymore)

Blessings to all!

Good morning, another fun filled day of rehab!

tsk, the TCO Crosstown Surgery Center is doctor owned and not affiliated with a hospital.  I like that.  TCO has a physical therapy center at most of their locations, but they also partner with other companies.  I did my outpatient PT at Viverant one of their partners since they have a facility only a mile away from my home.  All of their medical records and electronic systems and tied into the same main system so they can seamlessly share information immediately.  So, I do exercises, massage, etc. there and then they give me an outline of exercises to do at home.  Very good program and the pre-op PT prep really pays off after surgery.

Have a good day everyone.

Have hot dogs, potato  salad and cole slaw for  dinner tonight.

Phyl, I have the same questions for you!   Maggie?  Drs?  Trees?

Tig, enjoy your day and take care!

Tsk, Mickey had both knees replaced, in springfield!  The process was the same as tig described.  She had both done at once , in the hospital tho, and home and walking the next day!  6 weeks off pt  prior to surgery!   I am sure this is current protocol every  where now!

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Scott!....miss you.

Very sad day today for me...his birthday doesn't always land on Memorial Day but that just makes it doubly sad. :(

CLYNN   LOVE that tee shirt.  Someone is on the ball  ;D    Albion courthouse - beautiful gesture.

TIG  Interestingly enough we hear cicadas yearly as well and the sounds I'm hearing in my neighborhood now aren't too bad.

LISA  That inch yesterday and about another 1/4" late last night.  Very chilly here and cloudy for the town's Memorial parade today 
Hope they have a turnout nevertheless. ???

NR  Good to see you.  I can't imagine how you do all that gardening on your patio/balcony.

SSRL   Thanks You clarified that you don't have both an out -pt PT and a home PT    The out -pt PT is the critical one right now and I hope you are doing well.  Sounds like a great set up.

KAREN   I am very familiar with going home the next day after hip/knee replacements.  Not so informed about the 6 weeks of therapy prior but makes sense the outcome would be better.  A lot too depends on age and abilities of patient, living conditions, etc
.
KB   I apologize for not posting that today is Scott's heavenly birthday but as you say - a double and very sad remembrance of him as a veteran and how he has enhanced your life in the time he was allowed to share with you   :-* :-*

If it were more warm and I were younger I'd be out fishing. Used to love catching bass in the rain.

Cute Cicada t-shirt! Lol! ;D
Just saw your collage of our heavenly Beakers - thank you so much.

Phyl- You & Jim have a nice, peaceful day and enjoy that yummy dinner you will be fixing!    Is Maggie okay?  You have lots on your plate.  {{Phyl}}

His favorite burgers come from Salina.  ;D. We moved there from Hawaii in 1972, lived there 32 years and raised our girls.

So friggin cool...watched 2 fly arounds over my house to the Veterans Park in Richfield during a thunderstorm!.

I have to look up the old name of the 4 planes...I forgot....I waved at them...

After the second fly around over my house, one plane separated and the other 3 headed to very dark clouds.

Amazing...small hail here as well.

Thank you!...made me cry.

Turns out I read they are T-34 Mentor airplanes.

BTW they are very loud...louder than thunder in the clouds!

tsk - So, a cool down after the rain.  The Annapolis Memorial Day parade was cancelled this morning, cause of the rain. I hope they did not cancel the parade near you.

clynn - Thanks for the other collage for the Beakers.

E4E - Thank you...we are getting some rest and the kitties too.   :)

Good night, everyone  :)

Currently: 52F clear , High  80F sunny,  Low 52F


   The trees are volunteer  Ribbon elm,  willow and red bud. Plus some volunteer bushes of unknown heritage.
The willow is all I care about keeping. It was the first  here 20yrs ago. All the birds favor  this one, as do I.

Maggie ... the vet that took her from Dr. Steele who's Maggie's real full time vet. Are not renewing  the Rx  for her blood pressure medication that would keep her heart murmur controlled. Not sure if it's the holidays (memorial Day) messing this up or  ‘what’?    Another 'thing' I have to call on and debate.
Bottom line, All I know Maggie feels safe with Dr Steele . And I trust her.

I have a series of appointments just waiting for some time to get them rescheduled as I have to fit them in to the calendar  using all of Jim’s time.  And more on  as they develop.


CLynn  I’ve seen those kitty strollers pretty cool idea.

Lani very glad you posted the collage of our late Beakroom members. Thank you

Phyl, interesting lithium article, good and bad. Hope they can figure it out! Did your red bud tree flower? I think they are pretty trees! I love trees and would have a forest in my yard if I could! Even love the pines that drip sap on me! Gorgeous picture of the North nest and the area around it! Why did this new vet get Maggie's care? Is your regular one retiring? I do not understand how vets can deny prescriptions to pets. Our old one wouldn't approve Harley's prescription food because he hadn't had his yearly check up. So I switched to a new vet when we got the kittens. Speaking of Sam & Sophie:

Lani, thanks for posting our Beakers that we miss. It's nice to see it at the end of the day, a reminder that we haven't forgotten them. Ed and I will have our ashes buried at the Veteran's Cemetery in Adel, Iowa.\ so we won't be far from you and Mike! Although we are both from Illinois and most of our families are there, Erin and Kelsey will always be Iowans since they were both so young when we moved here in 1996. I know you loved your time in Kansas, I can tell by the way you talk about it...

tsk, we had two or three quick downpours yesterday, the sun popped out right after the rain stopped. A bit of thunder too! No rain i the forecast today, maybe the mud will get to dry out! We have no grass on one side of the house, it's very shady and we have put gravel in but it needs more! And in front of the little shed, muddy.

Lisa, glad to hear that you are getting some rest. I am sure you still have a lot to deal with! Thinking about you a lot...
(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/c6/34/82/c634821f2b78ea6a614419580534759f.jpg)

karen, you have little finches again! They love that spot on your porch! Do they use the same nest or do they rebuild it every year? I have notices that Robins use the same nest for one season of 2 or 3 clutches, but they build new the next year.

kb, glad you got to see the Missing Man Formation. I found a short video of the Blue Angels performing it"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFvDMTJCiDQ

LANI   Very sad backstory to that Eric Clapton song.  :'(

PHYL   Hope you can get it all straightened out with Maggie's meds and your own health care appts.  Interesting about  the H5 N1 so far, manifested in the eye.  :o  Quiet solitude on the Flyway this AM

CLYNN   I know for humans, scrips can't be renewed unless you're seen by doc if it's been a year.  I can understand that.  But didn't realize cat food prescriptions came under that same umbrella.  How cute is that stroller.  When outside are they harnessed in?  Missing man formation always gets me teary...  Devil's slide - amazing.  Another something new to my eyes.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: Phyl on May 28, 2024, 07:03:11 AM

CLynn the practice has adopted/hired a 'lead veterinarian' . I always ask for Dr  Steele maybe she wasn't available .   I'll call Publix Pharma and check if
the request was processed--If not---arghhh---I'll have to call Southside ^&%#@   . There's another 'thing' ---in Tenn a vet can have the State take your pet
right out of your arms if, they (vet) deems you're a threat to your pet's life and aren't properly caring for them. Can you just imagine?!
On the rabies vax it's state law regardless all 'animals must have rabies-no exceptions. I've done research and most states allow for exceptions ie age and health issues.

Jim has allowed the volunteer tree issue to get out of hand---with under growth around the willow---It does look like a 'forest'. Plus  the company that mows the retention pond will not mow the back side of the willow and that of  the volunteer trees which is responsibility of the HOA/development owner.  So they've let it grow up and we don't have the equip to clear it. Nor does Jim have the desire to fight it.
Frustrating for me as  I prefer a more manicured appearance to my grounds. So I've told Jim. I'm hiring a company to remove them by up rooting  or at least cut the others down leaving just a small amount of stump that we can manage. The undergrowth they can just dig up too.


(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/7e/e8/09/7ee809395e6d42c08919b804ef6cc2f6.jpg)

Originally, all we had was the willow  that's now in the center of the mess.  The willow is 22yrs old and pretty by itself--- esp. when it was all clean and clear around it.
As I said the wild birds favor the willow.  The Ribbon elm are to the left and the red bud to the right. Now obscured by the willow.
I did my best to get Jim to move the red bud when it was a 'sapling' and move it next to the deck so when it grew and took shaped it would make a
pretty  bit of privacy. But no go.

Hi Tsk The issue w/Maggie is she's not gotten her Rabies vax and the lead vet has screwed up on her wellness and wants me to make a special appt
due to her mistake and thus an extra office visit of $100 on top of all the other.  I know full well what I'll have to do---cave. I hope Maggie is healthy
enough for the Rabies---

Right?   I agree, the cost of the vet visits are something else!  Maybe fee could be waved?

Let's check on our beautiful Albie chicks TF and TFT! Weigh Day!! ;D

Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)

Top Flat chick is 126 days old and weighs 9.6 kg at 10.30am. He was 8.7 kg last week on day 119 so has increased 900 g. Average male weight for day 126 is 9.4kg. There have been several feeds from both parents since the last weigh in.

Top Flat Track chick is 118 days old and weighs 10.4 kg the heaviest chick weighed today.  :o He was 8.2 kg last week on day 111 so has gained 2.2 kg in a week. There have been several feeds since the last weigh from WYL and BOK.

It was very windy on Sunday, but the chicks all stayed down and are fine. Although being blown off a nest is an issue for some species of albatross, the northern royal albatross has flatter nests than species where this is an issue. The toroa at Pukekura can get back onto the nest and will wander from the nest to practise their nest building skills.

Early this Monday morning these two boys are looking beautifully fluffy!LOL!  ;D

Clynn, S&S look very sweet in their stroller!  yes, I love Kansas very much. The midwest was a momentous change in my life. From Hawaii to Kansas with its ups and downs. There were more ups (I've always been the "glass is half full person)."... I feel Kansas is where I grew up,. God, I wish I could do it all over again!

So friggin cool...watched 2 fly arounds over my house to the Veterans Park in Richfield during a thunderstorm!.

I have to look up the old name of the 4 planes...I forgot....I waved at them...

After the second fly around over my house, one plane separated and the other 3 headed to very dark clouds.

Amazing...small hail here as well.

Thank you!...made me cry.

Turns out I read they are T-34 Mentor airplanes.

BTW they are very loud...louder than thunder in the clouds!

someone snapped this one!

((KB)), sorry I missed getting into The Beak yesterday... Hugs to you on Scott's Heavenly Birthday yesterday.

And you also got to see those wonderful vintage aircraft fly over! The T-34 are very cool planes.


You're making me go back in time to a previous life... LOL. I learned to fly at a small country airport where a lot of retired pilots had their own hangars with the vintage aircraft they owned and flew out of that fixed base. I was one of only a small handful of women pilots or student pilots there (only 2 others I can recall now), but the "regulars" there, the retired men pilots, took me under their wing, so to speak, and were so nice to me and included me in many of their "doings." What a great bunch of people! Most had flown in the military during the Korean War and/or during the Vietnam War, and then had become commercial airline pilots after their military service, and they were all retired from their time as commercial pilots, too, so they were around a lot. Lucky for me, they often invited me to fly "right seat" on the weekends in one or another of their really cool vintage aircraft - all different kinds, including open cockpit, and various military trainer planes. One of those pilots invited me to fly with him in his T-34, front seat for me, of course. Very cool - only time I've gotten to fly in a sliding canopy military trainer plane, and I got to take the controls for a bit on the leg of our return back to the airport. I also got to enjoy some aerobatics in it when he did barrel rolls! It was a blast, and made for a special entry in my Log Book.

This is what it's like being in one:

Turns out I read they are T-34 Mentor airplanes.

BTW they are very loud...louder than thunder in the clouds!

someone snapped this one!

((KB)), sorry I missed getting into The Beak yesterday... Hugs to you on Scott's Heavenly Birthday yesterday.

And you also got to see those wonderful vintage aircraft fly over! The T-34 are very cool planes.


You're making me go back in time to a previous life... LOL. I learned to fly at a small country airport where a lot of retired pilots had their own hangars with the vintage aircraft they owned and flew out of that fixed base. I was one of only a small handful of women pilots or student pilots there (only 2 others I can recall now), but the "regulars" there, the retired men pilots, took me under their wing, so to speak, and were so nice to me and included me in many of their "doings." What a great bunch of people! Most had flown in the military during the Korean War and/or during the Vietnam War, and then had become commercial airline pilots after their military service, and they were all retired from their time as commercial pilots, too, so they were around a lot. Lucky for me, they often invited me to fly "right seat" on the weekends in one or another of their really cool vintage aircraft - all different kinds, including open cockpit, and various military trainer planes. One of those pilots invited me to fly with him in his T-34, front seat for me, of course. Very cool - only time I've gotten to fly in a sliding canopy military trainer plane, and I got to take the controls for a bit on the leg of our return back to the airport. I also got to enjoy some aerobatics in it when he did barrel rolls! It was a blast, and made for a special entry in my Log Book.



This is what it's like being in one:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0HDUMVcISQ

so very cool, Baz!.thanks for sharing....They are loud and I loved it...as they went right over my house 3 times to circle around the VA cemetery and a memorial at our city VA park...

As you know, I'm afraid to fly now after flying for Western Airlines for 6 1/2 years....and I flew in the "good ol days" when most of our commercial pilots were from the military in Vietnam..

I do always say though: I'd ride in Air Force One if I had the opportunity, LOL

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a8/89/e8/a889e82c1fdaa3dc0ca15ea838dda742.jpg)



Clynn and Lani, thank you for posting the collages yesterday.  :-* :-*

Clynn, LOL on Sam and Sophie in their strollers!!! They look like they are having a blast!!  :D What keeps them from jumping out while  you're strolling? I have a feeling Harley is a "no go" on the stroller rides... or does he wait his turn?

Phyl, I hope things will work out for Maggie's Rx without having to shell out for an appt at the vet... that's one way they make more money.  ::) ::)  It sounds like you're going to be removing a lot of trees and shrubs. I hope you can wait till nesting season is over if there's any chance that there are active nests in any of them, since it's that time of year. Thanks for sharing the pics of your sweet little fat Cane Ridge bluebird babies - the last of the pics inside their nest before they fledge... soon you will be seeing them chasing after their parents for feedings at your deck! :) :-*

((Lisa)), I've been thinking of you, and hope you could de-stress a bit over the long weekend. What a fun picture of little Sydney and her new water table! That's a fun thing I've never seen before.  :D  :-* I hope you and Bradley didn't have any storm damage from the line of storms that blew through that area last night.

KB, fun to get to see the flyovers, and Missing Man formation, too.

Tig, hope things get better for you there soon

Karen, glad all that To Do list was spread out for several days. I wondered if you got any of the severe weather from the storms yesterday evening.

E4E, glad you could take your mom out to the grave sites. I owned 5 motorcycles over the time I rode, but only 4 could actually be ridden, because 1 of them was bought in a box to put together - yeah, that never happened, LOL! Sold it still in the box.  ;)  Long ago and far away - a different previous life... just before the previous life when I learned to fly.  ;D 8)



We just had a severe thunderstorm blow through, and it just stopped... got a good dose of pea sized hail, with some larger hail about dime or nickel sized... before the big downpour of rain, which we needed. Ahh... it cooled things down! Now it's heating back up again. LOL. Think I will go out and see if my car roof got dimpled, which I doubt happened since the hail was so small, I hope... talons crossed!  Oops... not yet - it just started raining again. LOL.


Prayers for all in the path of the severe storms the last few days... so many people killed, and so many lost all or much of their property.. just awful, across a number of states.


Stay safe, ((Beakers)).

Nice memories Baz!   I think most military pilots  have nerves of steel!   Good in an emergency!

Lisa, darling picture!   Sydney seems older!   Neat toys!   Had rain last evening and around 1 as well!  Both cane with warnings, lots of thunder and a whose lot if lightning!   Took 1 or 2  degrees  off of our highs for a week!

Phyl, I like your trees!  I would have them trimmed up so one could mow under them and sit back  and enjoy!  Not my yard tho!  Lol.
I have a real issue with who ever wrote your laws!  If Maggie  were  titered I would bet she has enough vaccine for 7 cats!   The strange thing about that Vaccine is thaT  the potency is reduced for a while after a new  shot.  I could not deal with it!

Eagles, my license  for the motorcycle is to  DRUVE  it, not to ride!  Think .baz may have the same thing!    But I see, she did Drive!    Lol!  I have never driven one in my life but on occasion I have been a back seat rider!   Maybe it’s just a southern thing! J

Lani, albies looking good!

Fabulous landscapes clynn!   Cute Siamese!
  The Finch  nest is from last season!  They did not try to move it, nor did I!  Prior  to last year their attempts to build a nest in this location were not successful!  Wind kept blowing the material out of the corner.
Seds all!

Karen;  Enjoy those cute little baby finches peeking out the nest!!

Tsk;  Like what you told Clynn;  That you liked the collage of the memorial for the Beakers, but that you hope no more get added too soon!!

Phyl;   Hope you are able to work things out with your vet office for the care of your sweet Maggie.  I do hope they will be fair with you.  I don't know if things are different in your town, but when I had my little Star (my precious 5 lb chihuahua), my Vet office gave Seniors, age 65 & over, a 5% discount on everything. :)      More than that though, I wish they wouldn't charge you the full price for an office visit.  They should only charge for the Rabies shot.  Hope they are fair to you.
Oh no, don't like to hear about an Owl strike, but glad to hear that they are all safe at the DNN nest.

Clynn;  Sam & Sophie look so cute, sweet, and comfortable in the stroller!

LisaG; Little Sydney having fun with her water table is so precious!!!!  Her hair is long! :)   

Lani;   Thank you for Albie updates!!!

Baz;  You owned 5 motorcycles!!!!! ;D Wow!!!!

Karen;  'Backseat driver' !!!!  Hey- That's important too!!!! ;D 8)

Clynn; Have a fun day with your Munchkins tomorrow!!!! ;D

Tig, Puff, Og, Lori, Bl - good evening.

I may be catching up here in the afternoon tomorrow as in the morning, I will be getting ready to attend a funeral/celebration of life in a nearby town (40 minute drive) - leaving here at 9:15.

Good night & SEDs - stay safe.

Lani, I had to chuckle at the cats giving you the evil eye when you sneeze! I know what you mean, I sometimes have sneezing fits where I sneeze several times. The cats think I am a time bomb or something! Great update on the Albies. That TFT chick is almost 23 pounds huge!  Good news on the Trempealeau kids, I keep forgetting we have that nest!

E4E, Erin will be dropping the Munchkins off around 7:30 this morning, on his way to work. I usually go get them but the school Sydney works at isn't out until Friday so Erin is in charge!  The first thing I will probably do is braid Bella's hair!

karen, so Finches return to the same nest it sounds like!

baz, you were quite the adventurer in your days! Airplanes and motorcycles...is there more? Great video!  ;D  What did you do for a living, if I may ask? I can bet you weren't an accountant or anything like I was!  The stroller for the cats, the top pulls down and fastens in the front. I'll get a picture of it. I haven't taken Harley outside in the stroller yet, but he likes sitting in it inside!

Lisa, what a sweet little Sydney at her water table! Looks like she really gets into it! Bella had one when she was that age, and she still loves to stand on a stool at the sink and 'wash' dishes or fruit! And she still manages to get wet!

tsk, there is a cord inside the stroller that you can hook to a collar on the pet, but I would be afraid the cats would get all tangled up!

Wild turkeys!

baz - Thanks for sharing your story about when you learned to fly.  Thank you for thinking of me.  Bradley must get that "weather gene" from my mama.  I will text him about the upcoming weather or how was the weather, and I always get...what weather?   ;D  Sounds like your bad weather was worse than ours.  We just had lots of thunder and lightening.  I didn't hear any hail. 

karen - Thanks for the kind words on Sydney.  Glad to hear that the rain gave you some cooler weather.  It did here too yesterday.  I was able to open the windows till mid-afternoon.

E4E - Bradley said, she really did like the water table.  :)

Lani - Oh no, hope you are feeling better this morning.  Wow, the Trempealeau kiddos sure have grown.  I have not peeked in on them in a while.

clynn - Thanks for the link from karen on the bird migration.  Wow, great pic of Finn! 
Yes, she really liked her table, and I know its hard to see too, but her lil swimsuit Bradley got it at Buc-ees.  It's got Buc-ee all over it.   ;D

Learned something new mowing after 4 plus years of Scott doing before he died today! And, I've learned alot I thought!

I was 3 days late considering our pretty often rain in the back yard....so,

Mower just stopped on me on the top of my hill: Checked gas, okay, checked oil, okay...brought her down to the shed at the bottom of hill...and proceeded to weed whip what wasn't done. Ready to call my mower guy who totally maintained it this spring ;)

After all is said and done, I tipped the mower over and removed all the wet grass from under it and voila!
Stuck with wet grass all under it.

This after I weed whipped what was left, but then mowed it again.
All is well....a new learning!...cool

Cool! KB

Yup. learning.
I just brought the pontoon in all by myself. Well, mother nature helped, with a perfectly angled breeze. And the neighbor came out to help anyway. They are so sweet. I think they waited until I got in to leave to go to a nearby town. Wow. And... when I came in earlier... he offered to clean my crappie for me (because I would have had to climb those *&^&^%& stairs to get to the fish surgery, and he was going up to clean his catch anyway).
Camper is off exploring and taking pics. He made sure I got onto the lake ok before he left. I assured him I could bring the boat back. He had the drone up this morning and has pics of me out fishing.

Hydrating now and getting feet up. Some pics soon...

OLDGUY  That is one angry volcano.  At least in the same area and not a new site.

TIG   Well at least you are catching something  LOL  The stillness and the watching of nature does it for me.  Good job on the pontoon.   Camper takes the best pics.  Will wait patiently  Super nice neighbors  :-*

LISA   Wayfair's first and only store in the USA.  It is HUUUGE.  Took us an hour and 30 to go through it.  Think upscale IKEA  It has it's own home design dept.  More on the trendy modern side.  Am not sure I would go back to shop there as I'm not at that stage in my life  LOL  But was fun and at a mall I've not been to before so may go back to explore further.

PHYL  We saw some good sales but a thick fluffy bath towel was $15.00   Small scented jar candle  $15.  I could see a wedding registry being done there.   Neanderthal/human study fascinating.

BAZI   Thanks for the backround info on your work history.  I like puzzles too  LOL    " Hit every traffic light"  ::)

KB   Don't you just love it when you can fix something yourself  ;D ;D

The latest update from 1 hour ago...
Large Eruption Begins   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLoQPQ24Fmc

I have purchase some items from Wayfair on line over the past 10 years.  The first items were faux wood blinds - love them.  I usually only buy during sales, which have been as much as 50% off.  Bedding on sale was cheaper and better quality than anything I could find locally.  Homegoods was close, but not a good selection for King size.

Last Saturday, we only had enough players for 4 hand, so we decided to eat at a restaurant first ( https://www.monicasonthestrip.com/ )(menu - https://www.chomp.delivery/order/restaurant/monicas-menu/99953 ), so had a late start and only played 1 game - won it, but was a 'go out wins' as we both were close to 10k points.

Clynn - did your Mom have any storm damage on Sunday from the high winds and tornados the hit Indiana and Kentucky?

We are have some beautiful days this week with highs in the mid 70s...

Baz - my Ex retired from that field about 5 years ago - she worked maintaining health insurance software.  The sons of our friends, that are part of the card game nights, one works the communications/hardware area and the other writes software for farm equipment - current product/business is a secret.

Hi Beakers!

After 8am I was about halfway through writing my morning Beak post when Mike came to me and said he had been having severe pain in
his left shoulder and down his left arm.  We immediately went to ER. They did an EKG, blood tests, x-rays and everything checked out okay.
But they want him to make an appointment with his Phoenix doctor. They let him return home after 2pm and he's resting right now.
I'm tired, worried, but I know he'll be okay.... Sorry to have just dropped this in the room  :-[ .. I hope everyone has had a good day.
I'll be back later tonight to catch up and say good night.  :)

No worries.... Take care  :-*

OLDGUY  Wasn't able to access the restaurant link  :(  Gosh Maru 17, the General 18 and Phyl's Maggie 18.  WE know a lot of older cats.   I remember when Bellamy was just being introduce to guitar!

My all time favorite aircraft is the 707.

The 1st time I ever boarded a 707 my checked next to me backpack contained:
• Bear strength pepper spray extra large.
• Long and short guns with ammunition.
• Coleman white gas canisters & all applicable appliances.
• Blades.

Baz- Wow! You sold a motorcycle still in the box!  Never heard of a motorcycle in a box! Lol  ;D

Phyl- Good for you in getting everything straightened out with the trees.  I'm sure its not easy to try and stay on top of things.   Hope you get things all figured out with your Vet for your sweet Maggie!
Thank you Phyl; yes it was a safe trip, but I wished that my husband was going with me, but he stayed home as he didn't know the person who passed away.  It was an old childhood friend from the little town I grew up in.

Lani-  Thank you - and yes, has a safe trip.  I was nervous before I left here.  I almost didn't even want to go, but I was glad I went.

Clynn- How was your day with the Munchkins?!  Bet you had a great day!! :)

Karen- Thank you!    We actually had a pollen day over here!  My laptop always gives me updates and it had told me this would be a Pollen day!  Late this afternoon, I was out doing yard work, and looked down at my feet & flip-flops and they had an orange film on them!

LisaG- Sydney is cute having so much fun at her water table!! 

Tsk- I've never been to a Wayfair store, but we have ordered several things from them and they are wonderful to deal with!!  We only have good things to say about Wayfair!

Tig-  You sure woke early this morning!  I would have went back to sleep! Lol  :)    Sounds like you are having a good time.  Camper is so sweet in surprising you with a card!!     Just saw the card - so pretty!!!!! ;D ;D     Camper and his solo boat ride!!!! ;D Wow!!

Kb-  Good job in figuring out the problem with the mower!!!!  You are awesome!!!!   I like Ollie's pic out in the yard! ;D

Og- Thank you for all the great info.!!

Puff-  Thank you for all the help and info you give to the Beakers for the ATF event!  ;D

Lani- Just read about Mike and the day you guys had.  I'm glad he is home now and resting.  You need to rest too!!   Don't worry about getting back on here tonight.  You need to take care and give time to yourself.   That must have been a scary situation when Mike was having pain.  Thoughts & prayers for you both.  Wishing you both an evening of some good rest & sleep.

Bl- Like Jet Airliner! :)

Good night Beakers  :)

A good day with the Munchkins! Bella was all about her doll today! She was the stylist and did her doll Ariel's hair several times, and we painted her nails! We went to check out a new park. It was very different than our neighborhood park! It was more wild and had a trail that went all around a piece of woods, even a bridge over a creek. It was on a hillside and kind of broken up. The only problem, there was no place where a parent could sit and see the kids, except the little playground for the toddlers. And there were no kids there, I don't think our WDM schools are out until tomorrow.

Phyl, perfect timing on the Flyway sunrise! Love the vintage morning ads!  Maggie is a beautiful older lady, she proves that you have taken very good care of her!

E4E, good day with the Munchkins! They seem much older than last summer! Talon will make a good scientist, not sure about Bella yet!

not much bounce

I slept from 9:45 to 1 and then 1 to 4 and then 4 to 8 !! Knee pain and the reality that I need to prepare my soul and body for replacements are making the tears flow.  :-\    I have to take more pain meds just to get down and up the 12 stairs to the boat.

Camper did well last night. He has driven a couple times with me in the boat over the years. I think the stability of the pontoon made him want to give it a try. I was watching from the cabin. He called me from across the bay and noted he had the depth finder running. I reminded him of the approaching point of land that I had mentioned when we were on a ride a couple days ago. As he approached he called out the depths... "35 feet, 28, 17, 10, 9 ... oh my! I'd better swing a little farther, it really extends out quite far!"
Ah... the inexperience of youth, LOL. I went down to guide him in with hand signals (I know about his tendency to make a sharp right while driving, LOL) and he did just fine for his first time.

(( E4E ))
(( Lani/ Mike ))
BL - yes. First ride out for the year always starts with a hello to Mom/Dad and a quick cry for the memories of fish stories and lessons, campfires and love. Then, it is the lap on the side, the loon in the bay, the eagle on the wing, the wind that dries the tears, the first strike and the wonder... "Is it a *&&$$% perch?!?" .  8)

Going back to bed to get the knees up. Might go out for a few casts before an afternoon rain.

RC’s Son River, the Power of One - UPDATE May 29, 2024

So far, we’ve seen 4-year-old 130-pound, Andrea and her three yearlings that weighed in the 30’s at first but now are in the low 50’s.

Then there was 8-year-old 196-pound Lucy whose three yearlings weigh in the high 50’s.

And now there is 25-year-old 248-pound RC’s single yearling River who came today on his own weighing 105! Is it because he got all the milk last year, suckling enough that RC didn’t come into estrus and run off to mate? Was it the plethora of berries last year? Could it be genetics? Hard to tell without radio collars to learn travels; but whatever it is, if River is the last cub of RC, she is going out big!
(https://www.bearstudy.org/templates/yootheme/cache/48/20240529_River_son_of_RC-48ff25c2.webp)

Andrea's yearlings - Cupcake, Twinkle and Snowball - These pictures of Snowball and her two male siblings are my favorites of this day. It’s the first time I’ve seen them on their own. They came to the right place. In the one picture, they were nice to all look at the camera.

Andrea’s yearlings are still together peaceful as ever, as Andrea herself is probably off making scent trails for males to find and follow. The yearlings still have their winter coats with temperatures in the 70’s F and not beginning to shed. I’m curious to see how Snowball’s distinctive face changes as she sheds. I’m still learning about yearling social relationships after family break-up. One reason that all is peaceful among Andrea’s three is probably that there is only one female. If there is more than one female yearling, they often become competitive after family breakup as they begin to carve out their own individual sub-territories within their mother’s territory. They then expand their sub-territories each year to eventually become their own territories if the mother can shift her own territory to leave space for them to give birth to their own cubs.

Thank you for your prayers and TLC!  :-*
Mike is feeling good. His appt with his cardio doctor will be in a couple of weeks or more.
We're waiting for confirmation.... in the meantime, Mike plans to make his Ohio trip on Monday,
but at least he has two employees joining him. One from Gila Bend and the other from his Louisiana office/plant too.
So, I'm relieved about that. He won't have to drive.

We're waiting for cable guy to check our box. Summertime is a busy time up here, internet is slow... lots of full Air B&Bs,
campgrounds, etc....

Have a good day and I'll be back.  :)

It has been discovered that this year's plague in the two neighboring cabins are wasps! Management is researching and may set traps away from the area. Wondering if they came in last Fall and hibernated, or...? Most are the black and yellow version. But this morning I found a Great Black wasp, I think: https://entomology.umn.edu/great-black-wasp

CLYNN   Loved Bella's hair with the ribbons.  Did she change tops a couple times??  What makes you think Talon would make a good scientist??  LOL     I think you will have a much bigger selection of items on line.  As big as this Wayfair store was I think it was only a sampling of what it offers in total.   And someone had to come up with cicada cookies  LOL

TIG   Yay for Camper - He earned his pontoon boating badge under your tutelage  ;) ;)   Beautiful statement to BL  :-*

KB   Your yard is so lush and inviting. I'd be sipping tea on that deck in a heart beat!

LISA   Beautiful mugs in your AM post.

LANI   Funny link for Karen's b-day  LOL   Great report from Lynn who did get some good pics  ;D   Soo glad Mike is feeling good today and better yet that he will have two with him on his Ohio trip.  So long to wait for appts tho.  Docs should leave some "emergency" openings in their respective specialties...  Aly comes in June right?

Happy Day, Beakers!   :D

(((Lani))), thanks for the news from Lynn's black bear clan and their associates.  :-* Love hearing how the yearlings are doing! River is a big boy!! Wow! Maybe Lynn needs to have a Fat Yearling Black Bear Contest!!   ;) :D :D :-* :-* I'm glad Mike is feeling better today. Did he tell his cardio doctor's office about the symptoms that sent him to the ER? I am surprised they would wait that long to see him. I hope your sneezing subsided and your cold/allergies are better today, and that you both got some restful sleep last night. Hugs to you and Mike!

(((Clynn))), those are great pics of The Munchkins! Love Bella's hari, and she did some nice "dos" on her doll's hair, too! Talon likes science - that will be fun! That park sounds nice, though not a good place to sit and watch the little ones while they play. Still, a nice change of pace, and a chance for the kids to explore some new paths, too. Did you get an appt with your eye doc to follow-up on the vision issues you mentioned? They must be pretty annoying, so I hope you can find a good way to improve that situation. Hugs!

(((Lisa)))

(((E4E))) Did you see some of your childhood acquaintances at the service in memory of your friend? Glad you made the trip even though you went on your own.

(((Tig))), I hope things get better for you.

BL, those were the days!

OG, sounds like y'all had a good dinner out for your cards night!

Phyl, thanks for the cam shot tour.

KB, all nice pics! Relax, and enjoy!

Lori, yum on the birthday treats you sent to Karen! I hope you and your family didn't have any damage from the many storms that have blown through that part of the country over the last week or two!

Puff, thanks for the ATF lodging info reminder!



Waving to All the Beakers!!  :D



(((Karen))), I hope you treat yourself to another helpful shot for your back and more beneficial PT/OT, too! You deserve it!! I hope you and Piper have a good day enjoying some special treats and surprises for your birthday!! P.S. I will help you celebrate with some of Lori's donuts!!  :D


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAREN!!  Enjoy your day!!  :D :-*

Lori- Like your birthday post for Karen and the Yorkie!!

Tsk- We have ordered on line from Wayfair at least 4 times and they have been great.  We did have to return something once, and they were very good to us in dealing with the return.  We can only give a good review for Wayfair for our experience with them! :)

Clynn- Glad you had a great day with your Munchkins yesterday!!  Cute pics of Bella and her doll!!   I bet Talon takes after his dad Erin and becomes quite a 'Techy' smart computer person!!  He is almost always seen with his computer - I am guessing he is already able to solve most of his problems as they arise!!! ;D ;D

Tig-  Awe Tig - hugs.   Looked at the pic of the great Black Wasp - yikes!

Kb- Great pictures!!! ;D

Karen- Hope you had a nice and relaxing birthday  ;D

Lani-  Love all the Bear pics!!

Baz-  Yes I saw many folks that I had not seen in a long time!  Today I found myself thinking of and reflecting on yesterday.  Many moments have touched me.  I have thought about conversations and hugs.  I cherish the time I had there yesterday.

Og- Love the cake for Karen!

OLDGUY   That was an understatement when the narrator said it was a good thing they built the lava wall!!!  WOW    Claire and her cat challenges. Sure do wonder why she is moving.  No outdoors, no hallway. Hmmm   That Dali piece with the crane was good.  Such precision

PHYL  The blue-eyed cicada has made the news  :D

Phyl, wow on the blue-eyed cicada! And they are going to study it! I haven't seen or heard any yet, I need to go out and look on our trees! I agree with the words on truth! 64 here, high 79 today. Maybe a stray shower. Beautiful flowers this morning!

Lani, that's good news on Mike, I am sure it makes both of you feel better. Great bear report yesterday, Lynn and Sharon get such good, close up pictures of them! I am always amazed at how they know the manes of each one. I had to chuckle at the thought of bears named Cupcake and Twinkle!  ;D

oldguy, wow on the latest volcano video. It looks like Grindavik is still safe, their barriers must be working. Wonder how long this will go on? When it's over they will be surrounded...  Great Dali video!

E4E, I also think Talon will be very techy, like Erin. When you grow up with technology it is second nature. Most of us had to scratch and learn bits and pieces here and there! Even Bella, she showed me how to turn the sound on after she showed me how to make a video on my phone! They have Chromebooks in kindergarten now.

tsk, Talon wants a chemistry set, he showed it to me when we were in Walmart. I told him maybe for his birthday (it was $49). In the car he talks about things he has learned in school, yesterday it was about the planets and stars. He reminds me of little Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory.

karen, sounds like you had a good birthday! And you got a great present!

Hellgate - Good morning Iris and Finnegan! ❤ Jenny Powell
The battle stick warrior's touchdown at Nest was at 05: 38: 07. And Iris is off doing what she does in her comfortable new morning routine of leaving Nest and Eggs in the capable and trusted care of her hero while she goes to the washroom elsewhere and gathers material for Nest.

Morning and once again LOL, Happy Friday!....er um, I think.

Lani - yes, those are bleeding hearts...they can spread and be prolific.

But, curiously, I had a few white flowered ones in the center but they all have now reverted to pink.

Rain, off and on this morning with predicted thunderstorms this afternoon.

One day later this week than usual for garbage out to the street. I may have to bring them out early today to avoid the thunderstorms later this afternoon. I see up and down the street either other's thought the same or they forgot it was postponed a day due to Memorial Day.

I am sad that South Minneapolis suffered a mass casualty event yesterday and an officer was ambushed and killed. Another officer is in grave danger....The procession last night went on "forever" taking the officer to the Medical Examiner, including highways near me.

Good morning j😃 hope you have a wonderful day!   Goid weather here but hot in the low 90’s.  Have a handyman coming from Ace Hardware Services at 1 pm to clean out the dryer vent and check out the ceiling fan on the screen porch!  This is a national franchise, expensive, I think , but if you cannot find anyone to do odd jobs it seems reliable’s ! Covid shot later if there is time before the help has to leave! She gave me a gift card for mice cream from baskin  robins for my birthday!  Sweet.   Had a nice time!   Yes, Clynn, a great  Birthday!
You are right about today’s kids learning  about technology at  an early age and the almost  doing what comes naturally!   Those of us in the  from the earlier years of the last century. Have to struggle to keep up, at leat a little!
Yes, Old Guys cake was a masterpiece!   But, then, everything was delicious!
Interesting how Lynn gets the bear pictures and identifies all of them.

Phyl, very interesting article on Blue-eyed Cicada. Great find by young boy.....

Clynn, beautiful morning pics.... Finnegan works very hard and is a fantastic mate! He's fun to watch.  ;D ... It's amazing and wonderful to see how technology is developing today's young minds like Bella and Talon. Good for Talon with his interest in Science.

Kb, interesting about your white to pink bleeding hearts.... sad news about officers.

Tig, good luck with the fishing and enjoy your day!

Karen, That's great service Ace Hardware provides. We go to the one here at least twice a month. We'll check to see if that's available here too... I hope the 2nd shot will help give you comfort.

Lisa, beautiful morning pic.... Mike's Cardio doctor set an July appt for him. He wanted Mike to do a couple of blood tests this morning before he orders a change in meds for him. So Mike returned to Payson Banner outpatient services and got that done.  :) .... I hope you're feeling better too. Thinking of you and Brien.  :-*

Good dog Ollie....though he's genetically prey driven I can only assume the bee is getting too close to my plants for his liking. He loves to garden with me but has yet to know the difference between a weed and a plant. Luckily, he's not a digger.

CLYNN   A shades of blue Friday  ;D   It is wonderful that Talon even talks about school  LOL  He is curious and I bet a good student too.
How can one not be ecstatic for Harriet.  :)

KB  What a shame for that officer being ambushed and killed.  I did not listen to news yesterday but am sure it was on.

LANI   OK  That's the tune that will be worming its way through my day today - But that is good  LOL  Finally saw the lyrics to Stayin' Alive  ;D ;D       Kind of wish our Polish priest of almost a year now had subtitles for his homilies - Can't quite get all the words   ::) ::) ::)    We have an ACE in town so only a few minutes away.  I think they know Tim  ( "Hey Norm" from Cheers)  He's in there almost every other day  LOLOL

LISA  With LANI's mention of your brother, how are things going?

So this AM  Tim and I went 25 minutes to Woodman's grocery.  We were there 50 minutes, 650+ steps and $85. 00 poorer.  I do not think these HUUUGE groceries are anywhere besides southern Wi and Ill?   Some really great prices tho on many items and just the bakery section is bigger than the footprint of my house. So many more choices and varieties than a regular grocery.   I pay 1.09/can of Fancy Feast - (regular stuff) and there's is  .89 cents

He caught a couple of nice sized perch today and I caught a small bass. We gave those to the neighbor and he gave me a few more cleaned, frozen bass.  8)
We packed up the fishing gear...ready to go up the steps to the car later. Going to dinner at a restaurant that sits between two parts of Lake Iguadona tonight. They are said to have good pizza.

CLynn You're  familiar with the teachings and thoughts of St. Augustine? Cool   Blue color theme for Friday ---no rain for us. Won't be long
we'll have to get the hose and water the potted plants.

Tsk all's quiet here on the cicada front.  :)  Finally.          We pay $2.50 +tax per can of Hills Science  Rx Diet Kidney (tuna/veggie) formula for Maggie.  Not available thru grocery stores but, PetSmart. Thankful that she loves the stuff. As well as The Purina Pro Plan 'Hydra Care' supplement---just mix Amlodipine   quartered (.25 )and crushed of  2.5 mg tab along with the Cosequin sprinkles in HydraCare--my  sweet baby is good.  :-*

{{{Lisa}}} I noticed Lani's /Tsk's mention of your brother {{{Brian}}}---how is he   doing and how are things going w/ settling  y our mom's  household  ? Oh---just saw your post. Tks for update

Lani Minion dancing to Bee Gees " Stay'n Alive'  many meanings to the lyrics

tsk - It is very easy to do.  My insulin is a pen, turn the knob to the dosage you need every night, put a new needle on the end each nite and give the shot.  The pen lasts for 28 days, after you take it out the fridge. 

Phyl - You're welcome.   :)

Diabetes talk reminds me of a tale with my namesake Puff.  At about 4 or 5 the vet diagnosed him as diabetic.  At that point it was required that he have an insulin shot twice a day.  Vet said we should come in and he would show us the procedure.  After the demo I went first.  Then it was Ton's turn. . .No, no said Ton, I'm not giving any shots!  Well, the vet firmly said either Puff would have to have shots - or he would give Puff one more shot and put him to sleep then and there.  Result was we both had duty to make sure Puff got his insulin.  As I think bank, the other story to mention - I'm not sure it was the darkness outside -or- if he just got a funny feeling, but when it was time, maybe a bit late, Puff would come up to one of us and lay the paw on our lap.  It's time!  Original prognosis was that he would live to about 8  years.  He lived to be 16. 

Puff the beast was my darling - still tears me up.

Tig tell Camper he has to hold his own on that one. 
Remind him the wind, swell and angle of the bobbing bucket are all omni important in order to gain that badge.

Og- The Iceland lava is unbelievable - have watched it on the news too.  :o  Thank you for link!

Karen-  I don't know if your discomfort is the same as what my Mom has been dealing with, but it kind of sounds similar!  It has not been diagnosed as being connected with her Sciatic nerve, but her discomfort all started when she fell last Oct in her Apt.  The pain seems to stem from her hip to her knee.  Her knee especially was giving her lots of pain.  Last week her doctor gave her a shot in her hip area and so far she has felt a lot better.  She is very pleased so far!   This is her 2nd shot.  The first was back in December.  She is still going to PT twice a week and does her exercising at her place too!

LisaG-  Good for Brien in all that he is doing - it can't be easy.  All of you take care.  Hugs for you all.

Lani- Glad to hear that after tests, Mike is okay. :)     Hope all goes well at his July appt.

Clynn- It is so good that Talon knows so much 'Tech' stuff at his age!!!  Bella is amazing at what she already knows too!! She is a very smart kiddo!! ;D    Like the pic at Hellgate nest!

Kb- So very sad about the terrible tragedy in MN.  Thoughts & prayers for the Officer's family. :'( :'(     Beautiful hanging plant in your backyard!

Tig- Did you catch any fissies today? :)  Glad you & Camper are having a fun trip!!  Happy for Camper getting those Badges!! Lol ;D

Karen- Glad you are having some nice weather! 

Tsk- Woodman's sounds like a great place to do shopping! ;D

Interesting fish story of the morning. . .

I don't know if y'all fish catfish, Camperstig?   BL?  But here's the report on early morning Fox today.  A guy in Oklahoma caught himself a catfish overnight.  A record for him, previous was 53 pounds, but not a total world record which is at 106 pounds, his catch was 95 pounds.  And, he really didn't "catch" it.  He did the trick with the long line with multiple hooks on a line overnight.  Checked it out yesterday morning and saw a dip in the line.  Long story, long/hard job getting it up and in the truck.  It could have been lucky/good technique/or really dumb fish.

Who does catfishing?

Phyl, very interesting article on Siamese Cats! I knew about their points but had never heard about the fur being darker after surgery, I wondered why Sophie's tummy was darker!

Love all the cat pics, and that wooden structure is so unique! Love those planters in the wall! I have that experience when making the bed, they just seem drawn to it! The umbrellas on the balcony! And the Box Guide, all good!

E4E, good to hear that your Mom is getting relief from the cortisone (?) shot!  Ed is still going to P/T once a week but he went back to work last week. The P/T has really helped!

Puff, your story of Puff reminded me of my Max, he was losing weight and it turned out to be diabetes. Two shots a day, just under the skin, after eating. He lived for almost 2 years after the diagnosis, but he also had a condition called megacolon, which was devastating. He eventually quit eating much which is not good for giving insulin. He was 15.  Bogey was my 'Puff' soul cat, he died in 2000 from renal failure, he was 11. And like you, it still can bring tears thinking about him...

Lisa, your insulin shots are exactly like the Ozympic that I take, only mine is just once a week. My A1C was 6.4 but my doctor wanted me to take it for the heart benefits, helping prevent strokes. I am so glad they progressed past the syringe that you had to fill. I had to do that with the above mentioned cat!  Brien is reminding me of oldguy when he was going through all the stuff...

nr just posted on FB that two have hatched so far at the Wells Fargo osprey nest! She is trying to get a picture!

Two connections more with stories from Eagles and Phyl. . .

Shots do work.  For about 2 or 3 years I had steroid shots in my spine, also at months between.  Was a Godsend.  I always thought it was a mind game.  Get a shot and pain was gone by the time I left the outpatient.  Again lasted 3 or 4 months.  Finally stopped altogether. 
However about 2 years ago pain started in my hip.  Last year I had enough.  My doctor relocated; I had to find a new doc.  He also wanted to do cortisone instead.  I had one treatment which did zilch.  But then I had my episode a year ago where all blood work was cancelled.  I got clearance and I'll restart soon with the hip treatment in the fall.  This doc also wants to try 3 or 4 injections before doing surgery.  Meanwhile it's pain and my friend Stick.

These fur friends can really be - I was going to say attachment, it's more than that.  You had a lot of good years with Bogey, and you/we know  and so did they!!! that we loved them.  And poor Ton. . .  I was out of town with a 10-day work trip - Ton was taking care of Puff.  As often happened at the end, Puff would miss me and stop eating.  You mentioned, important, they can't stop eating.  The inevitable was recommended, Ton tried to keep him until I got back.  When we got back from the airport pickup, Puff wasn't waiting at the door.  Ton told me. . .   :'(

The office did keep him - stiff as he was I had to go say goodbye before he was cremated.  A few final stroke on the tail.

Three years before I finally saw/found pain-in-the-Ashley.  You all lived with me and her story.  Thanks for caring and understanding the love we have for our furry friends, and even featherly friends (Horace) .

Clynn, sweet Caturday pics... sweet pic of S&S! ... glad the pt helped Ed. I love seeing Harley with his young sibs! A family!  :-* {{{Max, Bogey}}} I loved all our cats, we've had 12, Weezel was my soul cat... good news from WF nest, the chicks blend into the nest so well.

Phyl, cute Simon  ;D and I can relate to changing bed sheets!  ;D ... awww "only in Italy" love this pic! Cat lovers for sure :-*... sweet Siamese cats, thanks for article.

{{{Puff}}} thanks for sharing your sweet Puff memory with us.... I needed to give our sweet tabby Weezel insulin shots too. He lived to be 23. Bless our fur babies, we do anything for them.

Lisa, thanks for sharing update on Brien.... I bet it's frustrating to be so far away from being able to help your brother with your mom's things. I felt that way when it was my sister was going through the same thing after our mother died.... Mike uses the same type of insulin pen.

Kb, beautiful back deck area.

Tig, Congrats to Camper! Maybe the bald eagle was hoping for bit too! .... Regarding the fish: you have a great deal going with your nice neighbor.... a good ending to your trip. Safe travels home.

Eagles, glad the cortisone shot helped your mom. We met Shannon last night for her birthday dinner. She looked wonderful, fun visit.... Her birthday is Monday, but Mike will be in Ohio.... A lovely night sitting on Fargo's patio here in Payson. For some reason I was so tired. Mike went to bed early and I curled up on the chair in my office and fell asleep until 10pm, jumped up and posted good night... I didn't mean to fall asleep  :o

Phyl- Pretty 'June', and like the happy 'Caturday'!!    Those kitty boxes! Lol!  Great images today  ;D

Puff- Interesting 'Catfish' story!

Clynn- Lol! Like the 'F' in art class!   No it was not a Cortisone shot that my Mom got.  I can't recall the name of the medicine, but I do remember him saying that Doctors aren't giving Cortisone shots anymore (maybe that's a California thing - I don't know)!
So sorry that I somehow didn't know that Ed returned to work.  Glad to hear he is better with the PT. :)

Tsk- Thank you Tsk, I too hope that this shot lasts quite a while for my Mom!

Lani- So glad you all celebrated Shannon's birthday a little early with dinner!!  ;D  You & Mike have a nice weekend before his Ohio trip! :)

Forgot to tell you guys a funny thing that happened to me!  The day before yesterday, I went and picked up my new prescription glasses from Costco.  I remember trying them on and thinking these don't seem right. I put them in my purse.  I finally put them on yesterday morning to do something on my computer and I realized that I could not see well at all.  So I promptly drove back to Costco and told her that I cannot see with my new glasses.  She checked on them, and said 'That's the problem - these glasses belong to someone else - you were given the wrong ones'.   So she found MY new glasses and all is fine!!

Also, mentioning that we are preparing to leave on a cruise to Alaska!!  We leave on 6/17 & return 6/28. :)

We just had a wonderful 90 minute rainfall. Will check the gauge at the end of the day.

Eagles4 - Oh I'm so happy to hear you are taking a cruise!...I imagine it will be a beautiful one in Alaska!..take lots of pics ;) ;)

Was your Mom's hip pain from bursitis?..the bursae around the joint?..
They still inject cortisone here in Minnesota in joints for OA and/or other joint pain issues.

Was it PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma therapy: for the joint itself not the bursae.

Or maybe Hyaluronic Acid...something that cushions the joint or I assume the bursae.

Been busy this am with errands, grocery shopping, and just now home from a walk with Ollie man.
Too late for the walking thingy in the summer. Although it's only 73 out, we cut it a block shorter on a rectangular walk.
Note to self: get out much earlier or skip it...although he's fine, I carry water and he drinks it, etc.
Just probably more comfortable if I get ahead of the sun/warmth.

Still busy....Later.

tig - Nice on the eagle sighting!

Puff - Glad to hear that your Puff lived a nice long life with his diabetes. 

tsk - You're welcome  :D

Phyl - I do like the easy of the insulin pen..turn the knob for the correct dosage, and inject. Love the kitty planters.

karen - Thank you!  Oh wow, the SWFL cams are going off for the season already? 

E4E - Thanks for the hugs.  Brien checked in with me this morning, he is making some nice progress with some of Mama's accounts and stuff.  OMG....someone else's glasses, no wonder you couldn't see!  :D

Lani - Oh my goodness, what a cute good night pic!  It is frustrating being so far away, and when Mama made him the Executor.  He tells me every day...why didn't she put your name on this too...you could be doing this all day while you are at home.  I work!   ;D

clynn - Yes, Brien is like oldguy doing all this stuff  ;D Oh, I would love to have a A1C of 6.4!  Love the pic of the kitties on table.  That pic of the F in art class of the cat drawing...that kitty below is what Misty "Fatty Patty" looks like!

One of my girl group friends just returned last Sunday from an Alaskan cruise and we are all getting together on the 10th to hear all about it!  She went with her dtr.  Jean lost her husband last year about this time so it was wonderful that her dtr wanted to do the trip with her.   You need to tell us all about your trip  ;D ;D  What cruise lines?

CLYNN  I see they are finding all kids of uses for Ozempic.

Relieved  to know  Urbandale eaglets were rescued and  as mentioned weren't  crushed by the nest---are being taken good care of at SOAR!


Tig  Hopefully you two are on the road home---sending wishes for a safe journey.   

Hi Puff  I've never cat fished in river or lake---off pier is all I've done. But, I sure do love that fish dipped in milk and
rolled in corn meal then pan fried with some catsup .
 On subject of departed pets:There's a pet crematorium  in Pegram , Tn that has always picked-up my cats---Samantha, Mitch and then Mike here at the house ---I kept then wrapped in a specially sewn/ embellished pillow case each,  resting in the laundry room a top the washing machine. Only a few days passed and their bodies were fine. The couple brought each one home and greeted with me at the door---"Samantha's come home. etc. " I've the trio of urns stored  on the shelf in our bedroom closet. Our pets are family no other way to say it, IMHO.   :-*

CLynn cute kitten puddle on tree stump; wonder if the darkened fur at surgery site isn't a type of scaring ---when Mike has his lung surgery
 and was shaved  he developed a black scar along the incision  in his skin.  Well, I think Sophia's darkened fur on her belly is cute.
Tks for sharing NR's link of the Wells Osprey nest and the hatchlings news. Great snap. Tks NR. Oh---I can see that there are 3 hatched. No worries there.

Tsk    FNC had a short segment on  Marian Robinson's passing yesterday. RIP Marian. ; sweet Caturday this AM; more sauce huh? Still think it'd be good over vanilla ice cream.

Lani   sweet Abyssinian this AM . Right there---do anything for them. Sounds like a very nice  'birthday' visit/celebration  w/ Shannon . Safe travels for her and Mike.   

Lisa    thanks for update on Brian. Bless him for clearing it all up and getting in order. Cute Caturday this  AM 

Hi Eagles      from what I'v read one of three therapies used, (1) PT; (2) Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. and (3) Tissue Regeneration Technologies. Supposedly docs don't like cortisone/cortisol injections due repetitive damage to  joint cartilage . Glad your eye glasses situation
turned out fine for you.
You;re going on a Alaska cruise. How wonderful.  This is the best time of year to see Alaska.    Jim and I were there in  August '05 when he was flying for Doane Pet Care in Joplin Mo and then here in Brentwood, TN. We met our  company Pres and his family and a prospective client in Juneau when they docked --to fly them to back  Nashville. We arrived 4 days early as instructed for a mini vaca and had a wonderful time touring the state and coast.   Gobble up the lobster as it's cheap, cheap and fresh caught  from the coastal  fishing boats.  Got loads of snaps too.  And  no end to stories  to  tell.  You'll have fun and memories to share with us.

OG      ''Good Luck' at cards tonight--if you're playing.

Good Morning Beakers!

I'm running behind already, slept an hour or more later than usual! We will be celebrating Erin's birthday today, he asked for burgers on the grill! (His birthday is actually Wednesday). I got his birthday 'cake' made, it is actually Turtle Pie. We used to get it from Baskin Robbins but a few years back I decided I could make them myself! It's just a graham cracker or chocolate pie crust, BR Pralines & Cream ice cream with caramel drizzled on the top. Pop it in the freezer. I always make 2 so they can take one home for his actual birthday.

Phyl, haven't seen any mosquitoes, but it has not been that warm yet. Haven't seen any cicadas either!  I am sure that will change!  Love that tree covered walkway in Spain. There is a street a couple of blocks away that is lined on both sides with Ash trees. They are probably over 30 years old, they overlap in the middle. It's like a tunnel. Beautiful in all seasons!  Last year there were notices on every one of them, 2 blocks, and I thought oh no, they have that darn Emerald Ash Borer and they are going to cut them all down. But one day all if the notices were gone! They must have all been treated! I would love to walk the streets of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie!

Lani, love the poker playing cat! Hope Mike is even better than yesterday! When is it he leaves for Ohio?

tsk, glad you got a good rain yesterday! Scattered storms possible today, even more possible tonight. Ed will water my flowers today, that way it will rain for sure!  ;D

kb/Jaspurr, great report of the Urbandale eagles. Urbandale is a Des Moines suburb, just a few miles from WDM, I had never heard of that nest! So glad to hear that they were all okay! SOAR will take good care of them!

Lisa, we need to see a new pic of Fatty Patty! I think the kittens are getting fat! That picture reminded me of Etta, baz's sister's cat! My sister Cathy will be Mom's Executor, Mom & Dad assigned that task to her when she lived 15 miles away from them. Then they moved to Texas, and I am the closest at 500 miles away, but I don't want the job...  ;D

E4E, I can't believe you got the wrong glasses! I wonder if the other person got yours! I bet you were wondering what the heck happened to your eyes!

tsk - Yikes, pouring for 2 hours.  I bet you got more than 1/2" in your rain gauge.

tig -  ;D I would have lost the fish with my eyes on the Teddy. 

Phyl - Thanks, and yes, Brien is getting things in order.

karen - We must have been having the same weather yesterday.  It was hot, but breezy.

Lani - Love your poker playing cat from last night! 

E4E - I totally missed you saying you were going on an Alaskan cruise!  I hope you and Kris have a wonderful time.  That is on my bucket list. 

clynn - That turtle pie does sound easy to make.  I don't mind that Brien is the Executor, but I think he does, cause he works all day, and doesn't get home till late in the evenings.  He just knows I am home all day, and as he puts it on the computer.  ;D
As you requested...a recent pic of Fatty Patty helping Jeff telework.

So 1/2 inch of rain in the AM and the late afternoon/evening rains brought another 1" of rain.  We can dry out a bit today - partly sunny and high of 76.  :)

PHYL  Our pets are certainly family members for a time.  :(     Cool archway in Spain.

CLYNN  I love ice cream pies but none in this house with Tim lurking  LOL   The other day on my way home from errands I had such a craving for ice cream I stopped at the ice cream shop and had a kiddie dish of butter pecan.  Tossed the container before I got home  LOL  You are so nice to make two pies.  Hope they had it on ice for the ride home  ;) ;)  Looks like Finn found the eating pole.

LISA   Fatty Patty  LOL

Lani - the humans built the trio a nest but only 8 foot off the ground. The parents circled but didn't take care of them stating they didn't recognize their nest...They were returned to SOAR the next day with the following latest update I can find dated May 25 below.

The trio will be released when they are ready to live in the wild on their own.

The parents are now seen trying to rebuild a new nest.

some bounce

We are home, safe. Food was great Friday night but we had skeeters bothering during sleep. The owner let us stay an extra hour yesterday and he and neighbor helped bring the rest of our stuff up the hill. Camper had taken quite a bit up on Friday. We stopped for breakfast at a favorite spot. I tripped or something but managed to catch myself. I made quite a commotion however. I was very sore and barely made it up the two steps when we got home. After putting food away, I got to my easy chair and have barely left. My upper body feels better today.

Camper's son will hopefully mow our lawn today.

Thanx for good wishes and for interesting posts

E4E - I did an Alaskan trip that included cruising the inside passage in Sept. 1980. I hope you love it as much as I did.

Good to hear you are safely home, Tig...not so much on the soreness...lucky you to have someone mow for you today..
Looks to me I should mow the front, er um, again....before tonight's storms but I didn't sleep well last night so.....it's nap day for me. I'll get to it probably tomorrow or Wednesday..

A few quick peony pics. The pics don't really show the beauty of their color in person.

Where has T40 been?

KB  Thanks for posting Soar info on fallen nest.  Saw that yesterday on FB.  How did they ever think the eagles would use such a low nest.  Looks like you do not stake your peonies or let them grow into a tomato hoop?  Don't they fall after a rain?

TIG  Seems to me a less physically challenging place to go would be right up your alley??

I used to but not in 15 or more years....they are so full and I occasionally split..no they don't fall down in the rain....when I walk around with Ollie I see most people here Don't put hoops around them.  I'd rather split than stake.

Good Morning Beakers?

Good news on the Alaska cruise, Eagles!  Looking forward to pictures!  I think your Mom and I may have  similar symptoms but we have Different  root causes.  I have  acute severe arthritis of the spine!  Nolong term fix that I am aware of.  Could be worse!

Weather today a little warmer  than yesterday but our last day in the eighties for a while!  Heading to the ,90s
Very cloudy and looks like rain but there is none on the radar or in the forecast.  Have the sprinkler system turned on!  Waters 4times a week, 20 some stations!

Tig, sorry for your mishaps and hope you recover soon!   I thought last year you arranged to stay in another place to avoid all the stairs!  Must be another if tour destinations!  You are lucky for nice neighbors

Had a birthday present Delivery  yesterday to the  front door and I could  not open the storm door!   Took a long time to find the pliers  and get it unlocked! Got the box in and opened and then another ooened and the item pulled outside on the porch!  Got a second box open and out there all waiting for the helper on Tuesday and it has to be out together and put outside .  This is a fancy watering hose extension system that connects to the spigot on the house and allows one to turn the water in without going through the greenery!   Thanks Mickey!

Clynn, I will be over for the pie!   Love B and R  pralines and cream!  Piper is also a fan!   Have half a pint in the freezer!   I hope .sOAR releases the eaglets near the natal nest area!   If the parents see them released they may help with food provisions while they learn to  hunt. For themselves like m15 does!

Tsk, try the Pralines and cream!   There are a lot of pecans in
 It!   Glad  had a nice rain!

Happy Mike has company on the Ohio trip!   Good news from the cardio too or he would be seen sooner!   Nice to enjoy a  nice visit and dinner  with Shannons !
  Lisa, maybe Brien can send you a box of your
Mamas Mail to to sort thru!  Lol.  I do not envy him the job!  I have done that a number of times!

Womdering about ezeeq as well as t40!

Never staked my Chicago peony plants  and they di d great!   Miss them !

Love the look of the old european cities, small towns!    Once lived in a development in .daphne Al, where the builder built among the trees.  Many of the roads were lined with native dogwoods and driving down them in the spring when they were in bloom was breath taking!

Washington DC is pretty wiyh all the parj areas, large and small scattered around!

Tsk,

{{{Camper and Tig}}} glad your home, take care  :-*

Kb, thanks for update, SOARS will do an amazing job and soon they will be soaring the skies.... beautiful flowers.

Phyl, last night's pic reminded me of my Weezel... Love vine covered courtyards, archways, etc, just inviting and stunning...

Clynn, "sleeping in" good for you! Be good to yourself.... You're a great mom to make Erin two birthday pies. YUM, YUM, Yummy ice cream pies!  I do the same, especially when the girls no longer live at home.... Mike is leaving tomorrow morning for Ohio. He's giving a presentation, I'm relieved he has two co-workers joining him. They can rent the car and do the driving, instead of Mike  :) ... when he went to Dallas last month, what would normally take 30 minutes to get from airport to hotel, it took him 3 hours. It was traffic time when he was making his way to hotel..... the poker playing cat looks like my ole Weezel  ;D ... Finn is an amazing partner, it's like he's been with Iris for years! It will be hatch watch time in a week or so, June 9th.

Lisa, oh no, Fatty Patty! LOL! Misty looks adorable, healthy and very content the former B&B kitty! Have you kept in contact with any of Misty

Tsk, please send your rain our way. Two fires broke out yesterday and shut down two busy freeways, Highway 87 (Beeline) to Payson and I-17 to Flagstaff, Prescott, Sedona.
Both are open now. Fire season has started.

Karen, what a great birthday gift from Mickey  ;D

tig - Glad you are home safe and sound.

kb - Beautiful flowers.

karen - Sounds like you had a real workout with your birthday delivery, and a great gift!

Lani - We get updates on all the kitties, except the two who we do not know who they were adopted out to.

KAREN  Not quite sure how Mickey's gift works but obviously very thoughtful and based on what you need. Helper will have a fun job  LOL

LANI  A very elegant member of the clergy  ;) ;)  How horrible for Mike on his last trip and having to drive in rush hour.  It's always something.  Sure wish I could send the rains.  Forecast has M T W rainy with Th Fr OK  I've scheduled a trimming session at the church garden for Thurs!!

I walked 42 minutes this morning. Gorgeous day! Walked to the kayak launch in the thickly wooded cypress waters that are part of the intracoastal waterway leading to the river. The water was lower than I had ever seen it, and there were these little crabs I don't know about everywhere!! They weren't hermit crabs. This is a tidal river, so it must've been low tide. There were hundreds and hundreds of those little crabs. I may try to look them up to see if I can find out what they are called. The water there is brackish, so there are fresh water, as well as salt water, species there. They all had 1 large claw, well it was larger relative to the size of the rest of their body, but these are very small crabs - and they were feasting on the algae and other stuff - running all over the bare ground and rocks and fallen tree limbs, logs and such, whatever was exposed by the very low tide. Interesting critters. LOL.

I have many pages to read to catch up in The Beak! So I will get to it!   :D

Beautiful day today in the mid 80’s with a lovely breeze!    Busy  most of the day with nothing major but no time to type!    Loved all the posts!  F in Art  is great!  See you in the morning!    Seds

Karen, nice weather and a break from the higher heat and humidity. I'm getting the same here - very nice! I hope you get the shot for your back soon, and that it helps a lot! Did you get your covid shot yet? You had mentioned you would if you had time. Thanks for mentioning that! I did not know, till you mentioned you were going to get a covid shot, that the CDC updated their guidelines/recommendations for getting covid vax (for various age groups and health status populations). I went to their website when you posted about getting your shot and saw they updated the guidelines just a couple of weeks ago - mid-May!! I had not seen or heard a word about that till you brought up the subject. Thanks! So I got my 2nd updated covid vax Friday afternoon. I get the updated Moderna vax, called Spikevax. I think I've heard you mention getting Pfizer's version, but either way, there's a new recommendation out for getting a 2nd updated covid vax (any of the approved brands). My upper arm muscle got sore, but that soreness is almost completely gone today, and I didn't have any other symptoms from the shot. Easy peasy. So I'm considered up-to-date now on that, thanks to you!  :)

Sounds like Erin will have a wonderful birthday celebration w/ you & Ed and then Sydney and the Munchkins. Many tks for the snap of
Hellgate Iris's Finn

Lisa nice latte this AM; Misty 'Fatty Patty'  LOL...nice you get updates on Misty's kittens. Hope "al"l are doing well.

Tsk ice cream in secret---LOL  I've been wondering about T40 for sometime now

Tig Yea! Back safely.  Nice of the owner to let you stay a bit longer. Hope you can find an easier spot to 'navigate'

Karen a very thoughtful BD gift from Mickey

Lani maybe with the coworkers doing the driving Mike can 'relax'  his back in the  in reclining  passenger seat

Bazi cheery greeting today


Good Night Everyone...  from the Mississippi River Flyway this afternoon.   Sleep well.

Howdy Beakers!  :)

I loved reading and catching up on everyone's posts and news.  :)


Tig, glad you're safely home. Hope you're better soon! Yeah... hated to see my boyfriend go out so early in the French Open. He's leaving the door open to come back, but realistically, I think this may have been his last match there. Though I am hoping he will continue to get back to his pre-hip surgery level, I think it will be pretty tough to do, especially at his age. So Wimbledon (starts July 1) and the US Open (starts Aug. 26) are the 2 remaining majors for the year, so it's a wait-and-see if he will play in either of them, or in how many of the warm-up tourneys along the way. Time will tell.

Lani, happy early birthday to Shannon!  :) I'm glad you all could have a nice birthday dinner with her. Ugh on those fires - already... prayers for rain to help prevent, or damp down, the fires.

Clynn, I love that pic of Harley and Sam and Sophie!  :-*  It looks like it was Treats!  ;D  I think Harley might be "in like" with S&S!  :D :-* You're right - the "F in Art" cat looks a lot like my sister's cat, Etta!  ;D ;D  Happy early Birthday to Erin! Yum on the ice cream cakes!! I love ice cream cakes - any flavor! I want some.  :D

Lisa, Fatty Patty is looking very sweet!!  :) :-*  Hugs to you and Brien - handling all the estate is time-consuming work.

E4E, oh wow! That's wonderful that you and Kris are going on an Alaska cruise! I can't wait to hear all about it after your trip!

Karen, that was a nice gift from Mickey for your birthday. She is such a good friend to you! I'm not sure I understand exactly what you meant about how it works, but it sounds like you are looking forward to using it. What in the world about your storm door not opening?? What was that all about? Does it need to be adjusted or something?

TSK, glad you're getting lots of rain - great for the yard and garden! Mmm, more rhubarb and strawmaberry sauce! What do you like to put it on?

KB, your peonies are pretty.

((Puff)), lots of memories.  :)

Phyl, glad you could get those things done before the rain started. Good timing!  :D



Waving to All the Beakers!   :)

Baz, goy my covid vax on Friday and I’m set to mingle!  Got Pfizer and had a slight  pinch  and later a small pain for a bit and  then it was fine, in no time!   I am told there is a new one coming out in a while bfor next year!   This virus morphs faster than the  flu virus!

Tsk ( and Baz) a hose connects to the faucet and runs to where you place the. Stand that goes in to the dirt for stability.  This thing has a tap on it and a place to connect the longer hose  you intend to use. You turn the water on at the house faucet and then use the faucet on this thing to turn it in and off!   There   Is a rack on it to hold the hose!  Some refer to this “thing”  as a butler!   I had a very simple one that someone appropriated  during my absence!   Is this clear as mud?  Lol!

Clynn, Baz reminded me about your picture of s,s and h!  Great job you did of orienting them to each other!  They look like they have been besties for years!

Karen, I never have seen one of those hose butlers befor, that I can recall. Sounds nifty! I'll have to look it up. Hope your new one doesn't get "appropriated!"  ::) Glad you didn't have any issues with your covid vax this past week. Yeah, looks like they're working on a new version, and also testing a new version that combines the flu and covid vaccines in one shot. It will be interesting to see what develops.

Busy day yesterday! And I slept a little extra this morning! We had Erin's birthday dinner and he did some things for me around the house. He always wants $$$ for his birthday but I always like to get a couple of things too. The hints I got were: Crown Royal Peach and socks. Got the CR and ordered the socks Saturday. As they were leaving there was the package with the socks sitting on the porch! I'll see him on Wednesday when he brings the kids over and we;ll sing happy Birthday to him!

Phyl, I checked Decorah's forecast, some storms coming this morning, beautiful picture of sunrise with the clouds! Thanks for the information on the Auroras!

Lani, glad to hear Mike is Ubering, I hope that will make you rest easier...I know you worry about him when he's gone.  Sweet good night pic...

baz, congrats to your Great Niece! She is very pretty!

karen, I think this is similar to the hose butler you got? So you don't have to bend over and mess with the original faucet... Very handy!

Clynn and tsk, think those are similar, or the same.  Sent one to tsk!  I have a hose holder that I may consider moving to the front, although I do not like the look out there and do not have a high enough to hide it out there. The feature I wanted, that does not show well is a faucet that connects to the faucet in the house, by a hose, of course!   After it is connected, you turn the water on  at the house and then use the other to turn the water on and off as needed.   You now do not have to go thru a bunch of foliage to get to the water faucet on the house.   My old one was a simple metal  piece with a faucet welded on it and a hose connecter that went to the house!   Do not know where or when I got it or where it went but that is all I wanted!   This will do that and more!

Congratulations to the Graduate, Baz.
 Happy Birthday, Shannon!    Have a great Day!
Safe travels to Mike!
Love rhubarb but it is one of the things you miss when you abandon the northern climes for the sunny south!   I have seen a few withered stalks in the store on a rare Occassion but, not often!   I used to get a rhubarb pie that was divine from a company in Michigan that went the way of my old hose connector!
Are Erins socks, colored Peach, or is this a brand?   Wish him a happy Birthday!
Lisa, have a good time at the spa and oet the kitties when you get home.
Oh my. That mama opossum must be a regular at that house and must be ged there on a regular basis!  Wonder why  the dog just sits and watches and mama  does not seem afraid of it!  Or the peeps .
Warmer today!   Humidity!

karen, Erin's socks are Hanes Moves, the peach is the Crown Royal!   ;D ;D  My grandparents had an early hose butler! All of my farmer relatives had one of these, I guess because there was no running water in the houses when they were built, the water from the well or cistern was piped to this thing!

Lisa, awww, Fatty Patty, aka Misty is a sweetheart! Had a friend at work, her name was Patty. She had a waist of about 10", we called her Fatty Patty. And then there was Smitty aka Ron Smith, we called him Shi**y Smitty. They were good friends!

Puff, I can't get over that tree! Saw redwoods when I was much younger, but not that one! This one was a siska spruce in willi's county in Oregon. Interesting story!:

Hello Beakers

A new eruption at Kilauea about 12:30am local this morning.  It is a fissure line that is located about 1 mile south of Halemaumau Crater.  It is down hill from the peak, so the only thing seen by cameras is the line of steam.  No addition info at this time.  USGS helicopter and ground vehicles started to survey the area after sun up.

Lisa, that's it! They're Fiddler Crabs!! I had forgotten about them, but as soon as you posted that, I remembered about Fiddler Crabs from The Way-Back.  ;) :D  Thanks for reminding me! I read what it said about them on wikipedia - and there are many kinds, but they talked about how they grow to be about two inches at their largest and they are dark colored during the day and light-colored at night. The ones I saw were dark-colored - it was around noon-ish when I saw them. It also talked about one of the places they are commonly found is brackish tidal waters, mud flats, etc. That pretty much describes where I was seeing them at low tide of the brackish intracoastal water that leads to the tidal river nearby.

TSK, thanks, my Oldest Great Niece plans to study engineering, and is interested in construction - in particular, roads and highways type of construction. I'm not surprised by her interest in construction because she's been around it all her life (her dad's business is heavily construction oriented), but I am surprised to hear the type of construction she is interested in. But you know how those things can change as the semesters go by, so we will see. I thought she would lean more towards aeronautical engineering, based on her demonstrated interest and knowledge in that area during some of her school years. I just hope that once she's away from home, she won't major in boys!!  ;) ;D ;D  Those all sound like yummy ways to enjoy your homemade strawberry rhubard sauce! Just eat it out of a bowl!! LOL!  ;) :D I don't see why not!  :D That "It's a-LIIIVE!!" clip runs through my head often, and it's a regular phrase between my Lil Sis and me. LOL.  Loved that movie, and there were sooo many good lines from it!!

Tig, good way to enjoy a rest day.  :D  That Djokovic match was a doozy!!

Lani, glad Mike will take an Uber from the airport. Here's to smooth travels for him! I hope you can get some extra rest time in while he's away.  :)  Ugh on the watering line leak... hope you can get that fixed easily.

Clynn, thanks. Great timing on the arrival of Erin's birthday socks! I bought some socks much like that, different brand, for my walks - a set of white, and a set of black. They're great! Love the mesh section and the section around the middle that provides a bit of arch support, too, I guess that's mostly a band that has a little compression type of feel to it. They look a lot like the socks you got for Erin. I've never tasted Crown Royal Peach. Cheers!  :D

Karen, thanks.  :) I think I had forgotten you were in the hospital with pneumonia... that's awful! That will be nice if you get the whole house generator! My niece in VA (mom to my LGN and Baby Bro) has one at her house. My Mtns Sis has one, also, which runs on propane.  I think they have to be checked and maintained on a regular basis to be sure all works when they're supposed to auto-kick in when the electricity goes out.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D




HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHANNON!  :D  I hope you have some extra good luck and fun treats on your special day!  :)

Kb- Don't know how to answer about my mom's pain.  All I know is, that when she fell in her bathroom months ago, she's had pain in her hip going down to her knee.   The shot she had last week and the PT are helping.  I really hope the shot lasts for quite a long time!
Keep enjoying those early walks with your Ollie Man! :)
Thank you for posting for Jaspurr!! Really appreciated the vid!
Gorgeous Peonies - such bright color too!!!

LisaG- You are right about your brother being like Oldguy in doing all that he is taking care of for your Mama. :)
That is wonderful that you get updates on all the kitties that got adopted out (except for the two you mention).  I know that was an exceptionally rough time for you when the kitties were finding new homes.  You couldn't help but be attached. . . . :-*
Bet you enjoyed your Salon day! ;D

Tsk- That thought had occurred to me; that maybe my glasses had already been handed out to someone else.  So glad all turned out nicely!!   Good for you in treating yourself to a little dish of butter pecan! :)
Wow-lots of Cicadas. ::)
Sounds like a fun & delicious bbq this eve!!  So nice that they are doing this for you and the others  :)

Phyl- Thank you so much  :)   Hope Jim is doing well and Maggie too!  Thank you for pics & links.

Clynn- So nice that you make an extra birthday cake for Erin to take home to enjoy!!  I'm sure the Munchkins enjoy and have lots of fun in celebrating their Dad's birthday!!!!
Wow- Can't believe how giant the Sequoia is!!! Beautiful picture!!

Tig- Glad you & Camper had a nice trip, but please rest and take care. {{Tig}}

Lani- Hope Mike had a nice & safe trip to Ohio and that he has a good business trip.  Happy Birthday to Shannon today and glad that you all enjoyed an early birthday dinner with Shannon the other evening. :)

Karen- Thank you about the cruise Karen!  Yes, I think you & my mom have similar physical things going on - not the same - but similar! ;) :)

Baz- Good for you in all the walking you've been doing. :)  Nothing better than good walking exercise and good fresh air!!   Beautiful pic of your oldest great niece! :)

Lori- Yummy birthday treat & cute pup for Shannon!

Og- Thank you for updates and links!

Beakers have a nice evening.

NATIONAL HUG YOUR CAT DAY
When National Hug Your Cat Day rolls around each year on June 4, the purr-fect opportunity presents itself for some snuggle time. Depending on your feline critter's nature, hugging may not be in the cards. However, like most animals, touch is a vital part of communication - and the same goes for the claw-ful kind.

NATIONAL CHEESE DAY | June 4


Moooove over whiners! June 4th is National Cheese Day! An encyclopedia of cheese will cover the alphabet and broaden your vocabulary. It will undoubtedly contain more varieties of cheese than what's found at the local grocer.

Phyl, I have hugged all my cats this morning! Hugs to Maggie too! Beautiful cake for Shannon! Hope for good results on all your tests...  Another beautiful sunrise on the Flyway!

Lani, did you get your irrigation line fixed? I think there must be a youtube to fix anything! How did we ever survive before?  :o Hugs to Norman and Mile today! And heavenly hugs for all of our loves at the Rainbow Bridge... Here is the Rhubarb Crumble recipe:  https://www.savorymomentsblog.com/2018/06/old-fashioned-rhubarb-crumble.html

E4E, hope your Mom's doctors can find a solution to the pain she has been having. Pain is no fun! I go to the chiropractor every month, it seems to help keep major back pain away. When I originally hurt my back (1995) it was terrible, the doctor told me to come back in 3 weeks if it wasn't better!  I went to a chiropractor for the first time, three times a week at first. The only thing that helped me at the time.

tsk, the Young Frankenstein Bloopers is so funny!

baz, that is an interesting career for your great niece! Ed's older brother was an engineer, he ran a road crew for Palumbo in Chicago. When they were charged for bid rigging etc in the late 90s his brother retired. He wanted nothing more to do with the 'mob' company. I just looked them up, after they got out of jail they started a new company called Orange Crush in Chicago. It was quite a mafia-type story. Ed almost went to work for his brother!  https://www.chicagotribune.com/2001/04/24/after-jail-palumbos-find-road-to-success/

E4E - Yes, I was very attached to the kitties, and I told Jeff I am never fostering again, cause I would be one of those foster FAIL people!  ;D  I would end up keeping them next time.

Lisa, another beautiful cup of coffee, with yummy croissants! We have had the A/C on, since Sunday noonish. It got to 87 yesterday, supposed to get to 83 today but that's what they said yesterday.  ::)  I don't think I would be good at fostering, I would also want to keep them all...

 CLynn, are those logs  from a logging company or fallen trees?  I cannot believe all of them washed out together!  Hope someone has broken them up to prevent flooding!   I have sipped Crown Royal in years past but do not know about Peach!

Baz, good luck to your Great Niece in what ever she decides to do!  Goid stories as usual.

LISA   " foster FAIL people"  LOL   I can't even volunteer in a shelter for the same reason... ::)

OLDGUY   Thanks for Santi update on Zoom  Poor baby.  Kilauea eruption - how unusual.

KAREN   Breezy enough to sit outside at tables set up on the parking lot for the BBQ.  Over 100 people came which is only really a drop in the bucket for all the volunteers that keep the church and school running.  The Pastor was VERY pleased with the turnout.
They catered Mediterranean which was a real switch but was very good.  He announced that the big fund raiser for the year which occurred last month ( dinner, raffle, auction, dancing ,etc)- 40% of those attending were first time attendees which speaks well for getting a new generation involved in the church.

LANI   Isn't Tulip a sweetie  ;D 

Well discovered this AM that not only have the deer eaten the west garden hosta and flox and some transplanted black eyed susans from Barb, but I see today they now found the east garden and have nipped all the flox and black eyed susans there.   :P :P  They do not like daisies  ::) ::)   I still have not uncovered a big bunch of black eyed susans in the west garden so those remain intact despite that the big hosta next to it had been munched on.

Lisa, yes, leak fixed. Waiting for another one to pop up. LOL! ... I would be a foster home fail too. I'd never give them back. ;D

{{{Phyl}}} Beautiful sunrise.... Thank you for beautiful cake for Shannon... I hope your tests go well. 🙏 {{{Miss Maggie}}}... I hugged Norman and Milo  :-*.. I love cheese everyday!  ;D

Clynn, Hopefully, break in hose repaired. Since the line runs underground, I look for wet spots in unusual places. Especially after we get our monthly water bill. Sometimes I have to hire someone to dig under the hard rocky soil and repair the leak. But, if I can do it myself and save on $$$. Our landscape worker in Scottsdale showed us how to take care of our own broken lines... thanks for the rhubarb recipe. My MILs favorite summer dish.... what a log jam.

tsk - oh boy, that's a lot of destroyed plants from deer it sounds like. I don't remember if you have had that problem in the past, at least this extensive?

You probably are going to have to deer fence around all your gardens going forward...I do with chicken wire  in the winter for rabbit prevention desruction and only the plants/areas they love to eat in winter.

I am very happy we have a fenced yard, at least to keep the deer out. Bunnies are another thing.  :P

Camper and I redid our front flower/shrub, tree bed a few years ago... selecting deer and rabbit "proof" plants that attract pollinators. So far, so good.

I'm heading out to see if we have berries yet.

Thanks for the sloth report!  They are so cute!   New little baby is a doll..

them!   Good program and volunteer appreciation  go. Long way for growth!

clynn - Don't those croissants look yummy?  I would love one with some butter on it. We had a nice downpour this afternoon, and I thought it might make it cooler, but it is so humid now.  Wow, the kiddo is as big as the parent!

karen - I hope BSL does not either.  It has really turned out very nice from all the pics I see my friends back home post on Facebook. 

tsk - Oh no, I won't do the volunteer thing either at the shelter.  Bless those people that do, tho!  Yikes on the deer munching on your flowers.  Plant more daisies!

Lani - That would be me too, never give them back.  Aww, thanks for the pics from TRR!

kb and tig - Afternoon  :)

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: tsk34 on June 04, 2024, 06:59:58 PM

KB  We have lived in this home for 16 years now.  It has only been in the last 3 years we have had a problem.  I've virtually given up on all my beautiful perennials because I have all the milkweed in the midst of it all as well. I have to be able to walk through the garden to harvest monarch eggs.   It's a pretty wild area  now  LOLOL  I do keep weed outs as much as I can.  We have the tomatoes covered now.  Two years ago they ate the tomato buds - last year they did not!!
Interestingly I have the entire east side of my house lined with hosta.  They have not touched those. And those I wouldn't care about as I don't see them.   I've resigned myself so no worries.  Not complaining - just amazed!!  They probably need to thin the deer that live in the forest preserves.  I'm about 5 blocks away and must be the only home with a garden.  LOLOL

TIG  Our decorative fence around our yard is 4 feet  - a walk in the park for deer.  Code says you cannot go higher than 6 feet and our neighbor has that.  No problem for deer.  All of my annuals are bunny proof - None gets eaten.  We do not feed the birds in the summer either - except for suet  which helps to keep critters out.

KAREN   LOL  Tim thought that all the deer would have known about one of their members that jumped the fence and into the tomato hoop and that they wouldn't be back - Seriously dear!  ::) ::)

LISA   I do have lots of daisies so that is a plus  LOL

So Hills Med Ctr: I had two extra blood tests added- kidney and cholesterol.   I have to get a bone density.  And see an hand surgeon for a consult
on the huge arthritis cysts (to my eyes any way)on each hand at base of thumb. These are quite painful and interfere  with movement. Doc may opt for
injections into the nerve to curb pain  at first. But, that wont's make the thumbs work any better and the cysts get in the way and keep my
thumbs folded on the palms of my hands.

CLynn very pretty greeting today; tks for nests updates on Norwich Peregrine Falcon

Lolol!  I thought about that deer from last year! B so sad!   No deer here that I am aware of.  Rabits under my mound of azeleas  in the front yard,and I am not aware of them eating anything in the yard!  If they do, so be it!   Squirrels in the back!  6 foot privacy fence with escape areas closed off!  No rabbits can get in!
Maybe you could leave a plate of food out for the deer!  Fresh veggie plate!

Lani- You are welcome of course for all of Shannon's birthday posts & well wishes!!  Hope Mikes trip in Ohio is going well.

Phyl- How are you doing after the tests?  Hopefully resting and having a nice evening. Hope all went well.

Clynn- Thank you for well wishes for my Mom.  I believe her doctor is helping her!

LisaG-  I wouldn't blame you if you never foster again.  You put all your love, heart & soul into those kittens, and I know it had to have been so emotionally draining for you to have taken those kittens from your home (and that's all they ever knew) to the animal shelter to be adopted out to new homes.  I know you truly loved each and every kitten.  You & Jeff were the best that ever fostered!!  I really mean it. :-*

Og;  The Kilauea volcano is amazing.

Tsk;  Oh no - the deer munching on your garden areas! :(

Lani;  Cute new little baby Waylon!  Cute Sloths.  ;D

Kb- Good to prevent your garden areas from getting eaten by some critters!  Protect your beautiful yard! :)

Tig; I bet it is hard to keep the bunnies out! ::)    You always get to look forward to the best berries!!

Karen; You & Piper have a good evening!

Beakers have a good night.

Tig, Repel All works here for rabbits and squirrels. But, it's the javalenas I want to keep away from my perennials. They are diggers.

{{{Phyl}}} I hope you're tests are going well... I pray you can find answers for the pain in your hands.

SED Karen and Piper I feel for the wildlife especially when it's hot. I do leave three large water filled dishes out for them. Also, this prevents them from attacking our dripping lines for water.

SED Tsk, Lisa, Eagles, Mike's trip is going well. He gave a good presentation today.

Good night!

Good Evening Beakers

The eruption at Kilauea was short lived - last about 12 hours - but gas emissions are still elevated.  There was a land slide inside of Halemaumau Crater today on the West rim.  Otherwise it is quite.

In Iceland, they have gas release from a fissure that opened up inside of the protective walls.  No lava reported, but it is a wait and see.

NATIONAL KETCHUP DAY
June 5 is National Ketchup Day on the National Day Calendar and we are celebrating the most popular condiment in the U.S. Let's dip right into the origins and history of this food condiment day and see why this red sauce is a staple on our tables across the nation.


#NATIONALKETCHUPDAY
Ketchup comes from the Chinese word kê-tsiap that dates back to 300 BC in China. Kê-tsiap was a sauce made from fermented fish, consisting of anchovies or oysters, mushrooms, and walnuts. The sauce became very popular with the British during the 17th century when British sailors came across a local fish sauce while in Southeast Asia. In fact, British sailors were known to add the fish sauce to their crackers and meats.

PHYL   Hopeful for simple resolutions to your painful thumbs.  We use Repel All  :o ::)  It's the deer that can't read...

KAREN   LOL  Veggie plate.  I won't encourage them  ;D ;D

LANI   I would not want to deal with javalenas  :o   Beautiful desert sky  :)

OLDGUY  Wow a fissure INSIDE the protective walls.  They can't be happy about that.

LORI   Turtle pie - a favorite  ;D

Erin will bring the Munchkins on his way to work this morning, normally I will go and get them but Sydney has a job interview this morning. Same school district, higher position. She is working her way up, taking courses so she can qualify for better positions. It will still be working with SPED (Special Ed} which is where her Mom has always worked.

tsk, looks like you might get some rain later this morning, although it looks like the stormy part will go south of you...

Phyl, love the lighting with the birds! I will show Erin the birthday greetings when he picks up the kids! And will read the interesting stuff after they leave this afternoon! He will appreciate that it is National Ketchup Day! He's a ketchup on almost everything person!

Lori, yummy turtle pie for Erin!

oldguy, I didn't think of a fissure going under the barrier in Iceland!  Glad it was so far minor volcano activity at Kilauea!

Lani, you have always put water out for the critters, I remember that from when you lived in Scottsdale! I am sure they appreciate it! Good to hear that Mike is having a good trip! Easier to relax when not so much to worry about (driving, flying etc...). Beautiful desert sunset!

E4E, do you plant annuals yearly, or have perennials? Or are you a shrubbery person? I can picture your house but can't remember!

Phyl, I hope the doctor can recommend something for your hands, I have arthritis in my wrists and sometimes it is very painful... and you need your thumbs most of all!

tsk, something must have happened last year that ran the deer to your area, new construction somewhere making it harder for them to find food.

Lisa, we got a good downpour yesterday, just when we needed it. The city finally picked up all the limbs from the storm we had a couple of weeks ago. We were notified to have it out by 6:00 AM a week ago yesterday, they came about 10:00 yesterday. Now that strip between the sidewalk and the street needs to be mowed! Today is the Annual Spring Cleanup where we can put junk out by the curb, things that won't fit into the containers. In years past I have put junk out and Ed has brought it back.  ::)

DNN - DN17 has branched!

Phyl - Good luck with the hand surgeon.  Mama had something similar to what you are describing, and she said it was very painful to do anything with her hands.   Hooray for ketchup! 

E4E - Aww, thank you!   :-* :-*

Lani - Beautiful good night pic.  Glad to hear that Mike's presentation went well. 

oldguy - Thanks for the info on the volcanoes. 

Lori - Oh my, that turtle pie...yummy!

Phyl, could not read the article on how your voice  changes with time.  Will look it up!
lani, beautiful picture last night!   Thanks for leaving water out for the poor animals in your area!  Do you ever see them drinking?   That is really important!

Tsk, I really believe wildlife well being is more important than a pristine  garden! We , as a society have done enough to wreck the environment with poor planning, poor growth management!   Was surprised to see a fawn carcass in the nest at North and later a  deer head brought in!  Wonder what caused the death and if a hunting  result, why it was left!  There is surely an abundance of fish in the area! 
Here we have an abundance of feral and abandoned cats!   People believe they can let them put and that they  will come in at night!   Other tan my friend in New Mexico who had William, my first encounter with a siamese, who rang the doorbell every night at midnight,  most do not always come back. 
Tsk, I do not understand how you cover the tomatoes?   Is this only at night or with netting!  Obviouslt they need exposure to sun.

We had thunder last night, no rain.  Some in the forecast today, but  I am doubtful!   Rain, not thunder!   All have a good and safe day!

Karen, I do see the critters drinking, even lizards...  I have the drinking stations set up at four different places. One high up for elk, birds, and two on the ground for 4 legged critters, located away from the house and under trees. And another small dish hidden under low bushes, perennials for small critters, quail, birds, chipmunks, lizards and such. Probably snakes enjoy them too. Ick! .... In the warm months I make sure bowls clean and fresh water every day. I don't like mold to develop.

Clynn, Sending good luck wishes to Sydney! Like Erin my late brother loved ketchup on everything too, even on his morning eggs.... I miss my Scottsdale critters. You could be more connected and care for them through the Southwest Wildlife program. But, here in a national forest it's a no no... so making fresh water available in the heat of the summer is what I can do.
YAY DN17!!  :-*. ... have a great day with the Munchkins!

Oldguy, thanks for update on the volcanos. Sorry to read about the gas release from a fissure opening inside of the protective walls. I pray this isn't a sign of a lava flow occuring... I was watching the Starliner streaming, lots of people were on at the same time. It was cool. Safe travels for the two astronaunts!! Cool cake for Erin.

Lori, perfect card and cake for Erin.

Phyl, great cake for Erin.... Love the bird lighting..... awesome story of Yellowstone's elder female wolf  :-* ,,,,  national ketchup day?! Mike would celebrate it with hot dogs tonight!  ;D oh wait, I just remembered he's going to the Cleveland ball game tonight. The KC Royals are playing them!  🌭. 🍿   8)

Tsk, Sadie must like the smell of the Repel All. She won't stop digging under my potted roses. So many be the big critters don't mind it. :( ... 3 inches is a lot of rain.

Lisa, good luck with Jeff's car repairs. I hope it's not too many $$$.

I'll be working in the yard today.
Finally all the trees are in their summer stage.
Lots of clean up for me to do while Mike is gone
and before Firewise inspection by HOA and Tonto National Forest
later this month.

What a cute white and brown alpaca.

Morning all..sounds like everyone is doing well.

I just weeded my front garden and those dang bunnies only ate my most beautiful and expensive lilies. My Asiatic and Oriental ones...hate them. Down to the ground...We have 1-5 bunnies per yard times 4,500 single family homes here...need more raptors please.

They have glorious grass, Chives galore, and other what we call ditch lilies in my garden to chose from but NO......
Had to go for only the most beautiful ones....what's that all about....I'll figure it out.

Finally tried the pool today. I just wanted to start moving again. Things went pretty well, even though I struggle to get up the steps.
I iced and elevated my knees when I got home. I don't know why I didn't think of icing my knee while at the lake!

Tried to sit on the patio and capture some vitamin D rays.  Too many bombardments  LOL  Will be working with my team in the Mary garden at church tomorrow.  It is teeming with cicadas  LOL  We need to do major trimming of all the shrubs.  ::)

LANI    Awww  cute Willi and Millie  You are so good to be so faithful to cleaning all those bowls of water every day.  We have 3 birdbaths going that are cleaned every day.  Right now cuz they fill up with cicadas  LOLOL  Squirrels and birds and now deer I suppose,  ::)  help themselves.  I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs  ;) ;)   Good timing for Mike to catch a ball game  LOL  Hope it wasn't too warm to do your outside work today.

KB  Bummer on the lilies - Mine made it LOL

TIG  Glad you back to the pool.  :)

Got a call from Rainey, Doc's NP: all good results on the 4 tests from Monday. So this little old lady is doing real, real, real  good!   ;)  All that's left is the hand surgeon and bone density. She also told me that in view of my nose still huring in place where broken. I should contact the ENT that I saw  and talk
to him about this. She told me that it shouldn't hurt for this long after.

The 2nd clutch with CR #69,  70, 71, #72 have fledged  --again I was too slow and missed one perched in the 'hole' of nesting
box about to 'launch' for the first time into the world. With Mom and Dad, siblings waiting in the nearby willow.

It is now June and currently the 'kids' are about to return from 'Flight School' as I like to call their week or so in the woods getting
educated on hunting and foraging. They'll return for some training from Mom, on the feeder pole and meal worm
feeder box,  here at our backyard. Hoperfully these fellas will not be so 'shy' and perch on the deck for some graduation
snaps.

But, I was hoping that this family
was through nesting so I could get some unwanted volunteer
trees and shrubs cut down/removed.

This will have to wait !


I am getting ready to have Jim take my iPhone and mosey down to  nesting box#1  and take a peek and a snap ---checking laying progress.
Will we have two eggs or three or four by now?

Good day with the Munchkins! Bella had me busy all day, I was sure ready to relax when Erin picked them up! Bella was busy all day! Erin told me to tell all of you thank you for the great birthday greetings! He said WOW as I showed them to him!

Phyl, good shot of the first egg of the third batch?  WOW!  Will they have four this year? From hatch to fledge seems like a very short time! Great pics of the vintage kitchen tools, I have had many of these that Ed picked up at the thrift stores and I sold on eBay! Good news on the tests you have had done! Oh your poor nose!

Lani, what a beautiful sunset on the Mormon Trail... Erin stopped by last night to drop off an item for the trash pick up today. It was almost 9:00 and there was a beautiful sunset with a piece of sun shooting through the clouds...  So good to see Willie and Millie with Eggbert, love the 'Honey, I'm home'! Sydney said her interview was bery good, the person who interviewed her even walked her out to her car! She felt really good about it!

karen, yes, we all watched the Starliner launch yesterday! Talon actually took his eyes off of the computer and was really interested!

Phyl - Thanks  :)  Jeff's repairs for his car will be covered under his warranty.  Thank goodness.  Glad to hear that you got good results on your lab work. Love your kitchen pic this morning.

( our former landscaper who we are friends with). Truthfully, I think he does not want to deal with the cicadas!!!  ;D ;D   I brought on into church this AM.  ::)  LOLOL

Royal Albatross ~ DOC Rangers Colin & Jim Weigh The Chicks! 😊💕 6.4.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suz3ySFyECg

Jun 4, 2024  #royalcam #albatross
The DOC rangers Colin & Jim are on chick weight check duty today as they go around the colony and take all the chicks weights. Last week, TFT was the heaviest chick in the colony and came in at a whopping 10.4kg!  TF was at a good weight too last week at 9.6kg.

Today TF is 133 days old and weighs 9.9kg (21.83 lbs) and is slightly over the average weight for a male at his age. TFT  is 125 days old came in at 9.5kg (20.94 lbs) - a decrease from last week but that is totally normal since his weight shot up with several big feedings from BOK and WYL. TFT is still very good and he is is over the average weight for a male at his age. The heaviest chick in the colony weighs 11kg - Observation post chick! These chicks are now well over 20 lbs and still growing - that is quite the armful to fit in the basket! Thank you for watching!

Lisa, I read several texts late last night about the storms and tornadoes going through your area. I'm so glad all is well with you, Jeff and Bradley's family too.  :-*

Tsk, I did 10 49 gallon bags yesterday. I have several more to fill today. I hate the Emory oak leaves, the tree loses its leaves in late spring, then their blossoms are messy, and they are very slippery to handle. It's their blossoms that affect me..... Since I have several oaks, It's best to wait for the blooming season to be done and clean up all at one time.... Prayers for Tim.

Phyl, beautiful new BB egg... I have Mike's grandmother's old fashion hand mixer....

Clynn, The munchkins look great!  ;D I bet you're exhausted, the older they get, the more busy they are..... the cats/Sadie exhaust me. LOL!!! ... Prayers for Sydney, it all seems like good vibes for her so far..... no cicadas here, though large grasshoppers have been hopping around... 4 darling WF babies.  :-* .... Trudi is wrong, there are only two Hellgate eggs. I love Finn, he's such a wonderful mate to our girl  :-*... whoever is in charge of the playground certainly didn't prepare for the summer.

📺TOUCAN TV

IMPORTANT NOTE: TOUCAN TV will become HAWK TV for the foreseeable future while we welcome a young hawk on her journey back to the wild.

Meet Chira, a gray-lined hawk who was held captive for many months in someone’s home. Instead of turning her over to a wildlife rehabilitation center, the person who found her kept her in a bird cage where he fed her a diet of bread and food scraps. She was finally brought to us after she was confiscated from the home of her captor by MINAE.

While she arrived in good health, spending so much time in a small metal cage has completely destroyed her flight feathers. Chira will stay in the green enclosure until her flight feathers grow back and she relearns how to fly. You can witness her amazing recovery LIVE on HAWK TV!

As a wildlife rescue center, we must make the best decisions for the animals in our care. We thank you all for your understanding and for supporting Chira on her rehabilitation journey. And we promise that the toucans will be back!

tsk - LOL, you had hitchhiker!  I don't blame Tim, I would not want to mow either with all the cicada's.  We use to rarely have a tornado here, but it seems to be more common now.

that sorta looks like my asiatic lily...mine is orange.

Bunnies never ate them before but we had a very mild winter and for some reason the babies ate most of mine including my gorgeous oriental one which is white...
Never fenced them before either but I guess I'll have to start unless this year was just a fluke?

Mowed the back yard which once again was pretty long but only a week since last one.

Noticed my climbing roses are starting to fill in. The bunnies brought them to the ground 2 years ago when only plastic fenced.
The red one on the left ladder is still getting ready to bloom....I totally lost 2 of my original 5, alternated red and pink.

Sorry for the ferns obscuring their view a bit...tomorrow pruning/weeding the back gardens is on my list.

Good morning!  Beautiful scenes in your pictures yesterday and today!   Cannot pick a favorite!   I am showered, dressed, hair combed , house  picked up , waiting  for. The nurse from home heath care to arrive and do an assessment for P T!   Supposed to be here sometime between 11 and 1!   Hope sooner rather  than later!

Today is a sad day in our History but then it turned into one to celebrate with  the eventual  removing of a terrible dictator!   A time when our country was united in our fight for democracy!

Found out last night that one of my HS friends, in Chicago has died!   Had been unable to reach her and finally got her daughter who delivered the news!   She had hd heart disease and covid!   Please get your vaccinations!
 Our original group of 16 has dwindled!  Two are not heard from, been that way for years!    Half of us are still  going on, some better than others.   One has serious dementia but is in a good place!  Very happy and does not remember the death of her husband or son!  Goes about her day and she is well!   Enough!

Phyl, happy your tests were good!  Hope you can get some relief from  your nose pain!  Good news on the bbs!  My finches are doing fine!  See the parents flying in and out for feeding!

Lisa, watch out for the storms!   Think we will have more of these!   Have two firms coming to give me estimates oh generators!   Not cheap!
Lani, do take care in that heat!  Lots of cleanup!  Thanks for the RA.report .  They are doing great!

I have some of the old kitchen utensils!  Not the mixer but about all of the others!  Use them on occasion!

Pt evaluation jut finished!  Sending ot as well!  They did not want to do it as they said I am doing too well!   Have them 3 weeks and then a review!

Oh, Eagles, you will have a teen ager!   The next four years  will fly by!  Many changes will occur!  An Exciting time!

Tsk, so true about  convincing Medicare!  I have never had them turn me down on a covered  procedure!   Have had good service from them!

Lisa, a day of many firsts in life without Mama!   Good contact with Dad.

Poor Cira!   Glad she is out if a canary house and good wishes for her!
94 here today, will have 97 one day next week!

Hi Beakers!

I've been busy, and have just quickly skimmed through a few days of posts...

My 1st husband's mother used to make the most delicious homemade ketchup from her tomatoes... I got spoiled with how good and fresh it tasted! But she didn't bottle very much of it, so I always felt privileged to get some of it!

I watched the Boeing Starliner launch, and as soon as it had liftoff, I ran outside and about a minute or so later, got to watch it fly by where I live, so I waved at the 2 NASA astronauts on board, with a wish for God speed. The launch went well, but they had several failures with thrusters for approaching the ISS for docking, and helium gas leaks, too, which affected the  operation of the thrusters. They were safe though, and the backup thrusters got them there and docked. I'm very nervous for them.

(((Lisa))), extra hugs and thinking of you especially today on your Mama's birthday. I was hoping you and Jeff, and Bradley and family, didn't get hit by all those tornadoes and severe storms last night!

Clynn, I wasn't in the Beak yesterrday, and I missed wishing Erin a Happy Birthday then.  Belated wishes to Erin on his birthday!  The Munchkins look very busy and very happy!!  Clynn, I can relate to what you said... I can't watch a manned space launch anymore without the image of the Challenger's fatal one running through my mind.


I will need to do a better job of catching up later, Beakers.  Gotta run for now.

Take care, All. Peace. SED.

The Braves Memorial at Omaha Beach, Normandy

CLynn pretty greeting this AM; Y/W to Erin;  Yes. This is the start of the 3rd nest.  I know several years ago , not this 'Mom and Dad' . But their G.GrandParents, started a 3rd nest and suddenly abandoned it leaving a solitary egg. As we were a bit 'novice' we did some research and learned
the when an egg isn't viable the nest is abandoned leaving the egg.   So, Jim cleaned it all out and disinfected/aired/closed up for the season.
I told bim to leave the egg in the 'V' of the willow as an offering to Nature/God. Jim did ---nest morning it was gone.   Sooooooo, let's hope
this isn't the case in 2024.   Tks for Hellgate update on Iris, Finn and 3 eggs.
You and the Munchkins had quite a day yesterday! They look great---loving parents and G Parents, good nutrition and balanced life---all to the credit of immediate family.  ;)

Tsk the scrambles w/salsa are so tasty---like the  hot and spicy.  {{{Tim}}} hopefully he's Doc appt next week will provide relief

{{{Lisa}}}   Remembering your mom   :-* ; really like your AM greeting; warrantees are a huge help w/repairs; what's been going on with the trail cam amd Mons. LePepe?   be on alert for the storms  ;)

Lani I meant to comment on the awesome sunset last night  :(  'Thanks Clynn"

Lani tks for update on  the Royal Albies, TTR and the new site name to "HAWK TV" ---{{{Chira}}}  . 
The Royals are looking good and really growing. Mindful of the heat index.

Hi Eagles   :)

Karen so glad your finches are doing well. LOL the Finch kids are keeping Mom and Dad busy for sure.  I learned to cook/bake on those vintage
utensils.  I still have some of them---in use too.  Wishing you the best in your PT/OT reviews.   Always moving forward.

Hi Bazi   :)

Remembering Charlie and Marie, two wonderful members of 'The Greatest Generation'. RIP Dad and Mom.  :-*


Good Night Everyone...    sleep well.

Hellgate 2 days till Pip Watch! Research reveals osprey eggs hatch between 36-42 days. Iris's hatch history is between 35-37 days. Most of her 1st eggs hatched on day 37, 2nd &amp; 3rd on 36 or 35. Egg 2 could hatch between June 9-11 and Egg 3 could hatch between June 16-18. (Remember Egg 1 was kicked out of the nest by Finn)

Iris Attacked By Great Horned Owl on Hellgate Osprey Cam | May 21, 2024 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9Q9-CieAYw

May 22, 2024  #montana #nowplaying #wildlife
A Great Horned Owl aggressively attacked Iris during the night, knocking her off the nest and into the dark night skies. While the owl remained on the edge of the nest, an osprey (presumably Iris) made several swoops at the owl, eventually convincing it to depart the nest. We could see the shadow of Iris as she returned from across the parking lot, and after perching and alerting using a more rarely heard, almost mechanical/duck-like high-alert vocalization, she settled back into the nest, remaining alert for some time after.

Usually Great Horned Owls aren't a threat to an adult Osprey, but they are known to prey on nestlings. Only time will tell if the owl continues to probe Iris' defenses as the incubation period continues, and we're hopeful that Iris' stalwart defense of her nest and her formidable size will convince the owl that this nest isn't worth the attention.

Good night!

Lani, you take care out in the heat doing that firewising! (like you didn't think of that!  ::) ::))  What kind of extra restrictions do you get, are they because of the heat or normal summer restrictions? I will be praying that the owl decides to move on and find a mouse. Wonder where Finn was...  Thanks for the Albie updates and the news of Chira!

Phyl, beautiful memorial on Omaha Beach! Mom and Dad went there on their last visit to our friends in England, Dad said it was very moving... You have good memories of Charlie and Marie... I have the same for Lee (my Dad) and Jean (Mom) is still here, almost 90.  Sad article about the birds, and thanks for Amy's Blog!

baz, years ago we had a HUGE bumper crop of tomatoes and green peppers when we lived in a duplex in Springfield. The little garden was the spot that used to be a dog pen, I don't know if that had anything to do with the HUGE crop but I made tomato everything that year! Including mincemeat made from green tomatoes! And green pepper relish out the wazoo!

karen, sorry to hear about your friend...  Keep up the good work!

Lisa, awww, your Mom's birthday... The firsts are hard., but you will get through them...  My Dad's birthday was May 1, he would have been 93. Life will keep you busy and good memories will always be there!

💚 Diamond Head is a crater and ancient tuff volcanic cone located on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu, known to Hawaiians as Lēʻahi.  The Hawaiian name is probably derived from lae (arcade, promontory) with ʻahi (tuna) because of the shape of the guidance line which resembles the shape of the dorsal fin of a tuna.  Its English name Diamond Head was given by British sailors in the 19th century, who thought they had discovered diamonds on the crater's slopes.  These "diamonds" were actually shiny calcite crystals that were worthless.

Phyl, I could not open the article on the birds!  In a word, what i s the cause?
No cicadas here this year but an invasion of flys!  What I would not give for an old fashioned fly swatter!  No newspaper and this I pad which does a lot is nit good for swatting flies!
Tuesday I see tge eye doctor and can share my driver’s license with him!  He will be amazed!  He keeps check on my left eye which is my good one, so far!

Lisa, glad The  your .dad is doing well after his stroke!
My father’s birthday  was May 7th!  He would have been over a hundred!
 Poor Iris and the danged owls!   
Lani, do take care in the heat!  I remember living in El Paso and enjoying one day if a pouring rain!  Well, an hour of rain.  I went out after it stopped to a sunny day, no humidity and not a sign of rain!   SoI guess, watering your area will not substitute for your firewising! 
I was 5 when D Day happened and I can remember it!  The news was on  the radio and my parents were concerned and talking about it so  it made an impression on my young mind!  The same  as when Oresident Roosevelt  died!   Lessons learned from history!

Another invisible killer - the patio door!  Home late after a dinner confab, I closed the garage door and heard tinkle tinkle tinkle ????

A bird this year built a nest atop the light at the door to the patio.  Closing the garage door set off the avalanche - billions of little diamonds everywhere.  Door glass was still in because of my height problem.
Had a friend switch in the screen panel - now need an entire new storm door.  Some evil doer must have taken tried grabbing at the parent and hit the glass.

Nest was found empty, eggs gone, no adult (robin) anywhere.

Phyl, great RRP update on Decorah North kids!  :-* .. I couldn't open the link, but i read the link and it's about windows, glass patio doors....  the loss of birds flying into windows are  high in Arizona. They are chased by hawks, crows, etc. and bam they hit my office window or kitchen window. It's always where I keep a feeder nearby or bird bath. Arizona homes have large high windows... putting an deflector on our windows or hanging from our glass doors helps. When I hear a bird hit one of our picture windows, I run to gently pick it up and place in cool quiet shaded area outside our home. After 30 minutes they usually fly off when ready. It happens all the time here.

Clynn, beautiful morning pics.... The Payson Fire Chief along with the Tonto National Forest Rangers is invoking certain sections of the International Fire Code during elevated fire hazardous conditions, which is hot temperatures. This is the link to Tonto National Forest Website, on the right you will see the Fire Danger warnings for counties within our forest.... https://www.fs.usda.gov/tonto/. There will be warning signs along Highway 87 & 260 alerting everyone. No throwing cigarettes out your windows, check the bottom of your trucks for loose chains that can drag and cause sparks.... also, our HOA asked we get our smoke alarms checked out. Which we will do. Even though we have lithium batteries in all of them, it's a good idea to get an electrician in to make sure all is well. Everyone puts pet signs on their front entrance window to alert security/fire department, especially if you're not home at the time you're smoke alarm goes off. We also have our get ready to leave your home kit hanging in our utility room. It helps us organize and be ready to leave when needed... I follow Hellgate closely and I didn't know about the GHO attack until I was looking at pet youtube videos and there was Iris... I got teary when I heard her loud and unusually sounding calls for Finn. I wondered why he didn't come. Did you see the owl look down at the eggs? I thought for sure he was going to take one.  :'( .... beautiful Diamond Head  :-* ... awww thanks for Falcon update.

tsk - My Dad lives in Kenner, Louisiana, not too far from the airport.  I told Jeff I would like to go down and visit after ATF, so I might either drive or fly.  We will see. 

Puff - Awww, so sorry about your door, and the bird nest.

Art Wu took this gorgeous pic of an Eastern Kingbird at Normandale Lake Park in Bloomington where I walk often.

Been weeding/pruning/tying up roses all morning so now have thorns in my fingers...2 fingers even though I wore rubber gloves....need to be more careful or wear leather/suede, LOL

I just read this morning and saw a graph by the US Fish and Wildlife Services that the most deaths in birds is from cats.....much more than glass or wind turbines....like 20 times more....off the charts more..
Couldn't paste and copy that graph for some reason.

Unfortunately, we have a lot of feral cats in my city...

Lani - love your pup in your morning post....color and ears of course reminded me of Ollie man, especially if it had a pointy snout..rather than like it does!
Wish I could share our beautiful weather today: Mid 70's with low dew point and some light wind..
Perfect gardening weather.

Lani, is that .chihuahua doggie making Margaritas? Too much shaking for a Martini!  Looks like Piper with erect ears!
Tsk, you need a shirt!   Tim, too!
Thanks Phyl!
Kb, ferral cats are a major problem everywhere!   Not only do they kill birds but suffer from bad weather, like your northern climes but also suffer from untreated disease, starvation,  but provide a food source for  wildlife!
There was an active program in Springfield  when I lived there to  spay/neuter  these animals.  One .
Saturday a month a vet would volunteer .  All trapped kitties were tested for disease and those with feline leuk were euthanized.  Those who were healthily were spayed or neutered!   They were also given a series of vaccinations and returned to where they were trapped!   It took so long to spay tgat they eventually began doing males only!  The neuters were quick!   I have no idea if this is still ongoing but if anyone is interested in this I am sure you could contact a vet group in your town and try to establish a similar program!  It only tajes one oerson!  Too bad such a origram cannot be done nationwide!better fir kitties as wekl as birds and everyone!

PUFF   That sounds like a  very strange occurrence with the garage door  :o

LANI  I have that familiar bird in flight silhouette on my tall sliders.  Only 1 death so far in 16 years.  Do the same as you with the stunned ones.  Doesn't happen too often .

LISA   We have all our windows open today as well  Nice breezes today as well.

KB  Beautiful Eastern Kingbird.  Gorgeous day here too.  Had some time this afternoon and went back to church garden and finished what we didn't have time for yesterday.  Also Miracle-Gro'd everthing with my hose sprayer.

KAREN  i don't understand people who let their cats out.  Lots do.  I just don't understand it.

We have a great program to catch and sterilize feral cats here...One woman is particularly good at capturing them..They clip their ears after treated

Not insignificant is people who have what they call "indoor/outdoor" cats...regular cats who are allowed to go out and kill/eat whatever they want and come home whenever they want...
I see them on my video camera all the time in my yard....they are NOT escapees, as I keep track of those on fb..

It's a serious problem here and I'm sure everywhere.

there's a great guy I follow on twitter in Thailand who is capturing and sterilizing loose/street dogs..His name is Niall Harbison...he's incredible and I think has sterilized 10,000 dogs so far. He's also building a hospital.
they have a different problem there with what they call street dogs.

If people want to save birds similar programs need to occur here in the US for Cats.

LisaG- Happy belated heavenly birthday to your Mama yesterday.   Hope your real Dad had a Happy Birthday yesterday.  That will be nice when you are able to go see your Dad.  I bet it made his day when you called him! :)     Hope your appt today went well. :)

Karen- My Grandson is 13 right now - growing taller too!

Tsk- Yes I am feeling older - especially seeing my Grandson graduate from 8th grade and remembering how it was when I was that age! ;)     You mentioned working out in the Garden at your Church, so does this mean you might be getting a little used to the Cicadas now?   Like the T-shirt that LisaG posted!

Oldguy- Thank you for great links!

Lani- Thank you!  Yes!!  High School; the next big step in his young life!   Watched the weather report earlier and wow, Phoenix sure is having the heat right now!! :o ::)  Good that you are prepared for any emergency that might ever arise.  Glad all of you have received Fire Restrictions.  Wish everybody would receive the same no matter where their location is.  Stay safe.

Phyl- Graduation was very nice.  They really go all out in making these ceremonies very special.  It was beautifully done. The ceremony itself lasted 2 hrs.  It was outdoors - began at 4:00, but we had to be there at 3:15 (had to do with the reserved seating).
Thank you for Amy's blog - I have been watching DNN!

Another sunny morning - cloudy this afternoon - chance of rain overnight - .1in forecast.  High of 82 today.  Most of Iowa is now out of the drought - 28% is abnormally dry - just to our west from south central to north east.  Most of the rivers have been near or above flood stage for parts of May.
We have not heard any cicadas at this time... :-\

KB, Karen Tsk---all Beakers:

Eartipping is the universal sign of an altered community cat. One centimeter (1 cm) is removed from the tip of the left ear in a straight line cut. Eartips are readily visible from a distance, making it easy for caretakers, trappers and animal control personnel to immediately identify a cat as spayed or neutered.



I have been a staunch supporter of Alley Cat Allies for 40 years.  They are the very best in their field. Their website is an invaluable resource for knowledge and care of 'community cats the world over.

Alley Cat Allies works worldwide to protect and improve the lives of cats, from those who share our homes to community cats who live and thrive outdoors.

Kb, it is common practice to notch the ear or tatoo after a spay /neuter.  Trapping is easy!  Use a humane trap and some=fried chicken!  Locate it where the cats are ,usually at dusk and wait for morning!  May take a few nights and a few odd catches and maybe a bucket if chicken but they will  come!  I helped with this in Springfield and would do it again if I was more mobile and there was a viable program here!  Would be interesting for you to try it!

Eagles that's nice that schools take extra time to make the ceremony so nice. DNN will be an exciting nest to follow.

CLynn  very colorful greeting this AM; very interesting about Diamond Head Crater, great photo. Tks for
Norwich Peregrine Falcon  snap and update...eyas is so fluffy and cute. Very interesting article on cicadas.

Lisa   Dad's been gone since 1983 .  June 27th  would be 108 yrs had he lived. In twenty days , I will bake his favorite cake, German Chocolate.
I will cut apiece for myself and one for Dad and put in a small plate in the Lily of the Valley china he gave  Mom one Christmas when we were all 'kids'.  I'll leave them there on the dinning table until Jim comes home. Jim will sit down and we'll each eat our slices.
In WWII he and his  outfit were sheltered by a German farmer and his family. The farmers wife was an unbelievable cook and she made a German Chocolate cake
from scratch on night for dessert after everyone ate...  Dad loved the cake. The framers wife wrote the recipe out as Dad translated to English.

 It's all 'okay'---Those we truly love never leave us.  I do the same for my mother with her favorite cake,  in August.


Karen/Lisa Blessed Heavenly Birthday to your Dad and Lisa to your mom.


Tsk awww Raggedy Ann.

Of course, Karen, that's why I mentioned it. I'm very aware.

There are a group of people that do it successfully. Greta Kotz is our go to..she'll go out day or night.

I just gave my trap to a citizen yesterday to use for humanely catching a chipmunk that wouldn't leave her garage. She posted her need on our fb page.

I follow these things and report what I see. I've helped recover several dogs in my neighborhood.

I'll leave the cat catching to our expert.

The help killed the pesky fly today with a rolled up catalog!   She is going out and about tomorrow and is going to look for a couple of the old fashioned fly swatters!   One for her and one for me!

Kb, beautiful Eastern Kingbird... we have a feral cat program here. I know I've mentioned before Payson Animal Shelter is a no-kill center for both cats/dogs.
Also, the main killer of cats in Arizona are the coyotes, bobcats and mountain lion. Our HOA does not allow your cats to be let outside. They won't live long in this environment.

Eagles, Your grandson's graduation sounds very special. The next four years will fly by to the next graduation. :)

{{{Tsk}}} hoping for a Cicada free day for you soon. :-*

Oldguy, thanks for links... Claire worked very hard on her beautiful garden. I hope all will be well in their new home... Miri has very ladylike manners when eating her snack... thanks for D-day link.

Phyl, I've never heard of eartipping... thanks for Alley Cat link, it's a wonderful organization... wonderful memories of your dad.

Lani, I have never let my cats outside, not since 1973 when my cat JB got hit by a car. Never again after that. And now there are coyotes to worry about!  Sam, Sophie and Harley love going outside on the deck! I open the sliding door every morning, just enough for them to come and go as they please. What do you hear from Mike? I couldn't find when you said he would be home! Love the dog noses good night!

BL, sounds like you and Pippy are having a great bass season! 

karen, in search of a fly swatter!  Seems like they are never handy when you need them!

LISA    Cute Caturday.   Cloudy and cool.  Supposedly rain moving in around 3.

Quiet morning in the Beak.  Morning included a craft fair in town, farmers market for my last rhubarb and strawberries  LOL, and the grocery store for a couple things.  Sauce is now cooling!

Happy Caturday Beakers!

Mike came home with a bad cold and cough.  :(
He's settled back in bed again.

Sadie came down with an upset tummy too. And threw up on Mike's office couch.
ICK! I've been washing sofa cushions, covers, blankets, dog toys  :(
I've been catching up with his laundry too.

It's a quiet moment, I hope everyone is having a good day.

See you later.  :)

some bounce
I was just resting on the patio while doing some things in the yard when camper came out of the door and said oh look. Not 10 ft. From me on the other side of the fence was a doe and very small fawn. They headed for the front yard.

I'm making a concoction for dinner with shredded chicken, leftover polska kielbasa, cream of jalapeno soup and cream of bacon soup, cream cheese, and garlic and other spices etc.

Montana Osprey Cam - Hellgate update

Hi Folks,
You may notice a change in Iris’ behavior today!  She is spending a lot of time getting up and down, rolling her eggs, and probably talking to them. 
She laid these two eggs on 5 May and 12 May.  In previous years Iris’ eggs have taking 35-37 days to hatch, so we expect the eggs to hatch between 9-11 June and 16-18 June.  So the first chick to hatch might arrive in the next few days! 
Iris is probably feeling the chick move around and start to crack the eggshell with its “egg tooth.”  She may also hear it peeping while it is still inside the egg.  Iris senses big changes might be on the way, and she is rolling her eggs and checking them quite a bit.
Think pure thoughts,
Erick Greene and the Osprey Team

9:24, 6/8   All those sticks....yep, some are going to be in our way.   Crib rails galore!

Nice Caturdays CLynn, Tsk, Lani and Lisa thank you.  :-* 

DN17 and his Dad :-* ; Hellgate thanks for updates.

In 40yrs of cat parenting I've never allowed my cats out of doors un leashed or  not  in a buggy/carrier ---with all the weird-os and sick-os  out there, no cat is free from abuse, torture,  hatred and murder.

TSK I just use a rolled up back issue of Nat Geo and smack 'em with a back hand swing--- ;)

Lisa  enjoy  the grad party

Lani Gosh! Sorry to hear Mike's under the weather. And so is Miss Sadie. ..Maggie sends purrs.  Becareful not to catch those rhino viruses
Montana Osprey Cam  those are  some heavy duty 'crib rails'.

Karen your mandarin orange snack sounds great. Do you chill them?


Jim was out all afternoon weeding after a big breakfast.
Soooooo, after a long hiatus I'm making 'pizza supreme'--- pasta sauce over a medium crust with mozzarella shreds, cooked  crumbled Italian sausage/pepperoni slices;  fresh sliced onion and tomatoes with sliced green bell pepper, fresh  sliced broccoli and sliced black olives and more mozzarella.   And, lots of brew and green salad.  Devil's Food w. fluffy white frosting.

Rest in Peace, Bill Anders.  He took the very famous "Earthrise" photo in space, immortalized as a postage stamp, and on many magazine covers.  This is a very nice, short overview (do scroll past embedded ads, etc) that reports a bit more about his fatal plane crash, about his Apollo 8 trip, and the circumstances around when he took his famous "Earthrise" photo. I heard on the radio yesterday that he said he thought that famous photo he took was his greatest contribution from his time in the space program.

Phyl- I have not heard of ear tipping.  This is surprising - wow.  I guess I am not 'in the know'!!  Sad for you in how you miss your Dad - especially on his up coming birthday.    Nice warm temp in your area today!     I want your yummy dinner tonight!! ;D

Karen- What does a person do when they catch the cat in the trap?  Do they take it to the animal shelter?

Kb- Nice of you to have given your trap to a citizen to catch a chipmunk, but why didn't you ask that it get returned to you after they used it for their purpose?

Lani- I am sure you are right that the next 4 years will go by quickly!  Oh no, just read about Mike.  Bed rest is what he needs now!   Hope he feels better soon.   Sorry that Sadie is not feeling well.   Hopefully you are getting some much needed rest yourself.

Clynn- Good for you in keeping your kitties inside for their safety.  Sad about your JB that got hit by a car back in 1973.     Love the pics of DN17 & Dad North!

LisaG- Kind of frustrating when you think you have posted and then you find out it is still there! :)    Enjoy graduation party for Jeff's niece! :)

Tig- How sweet to see a mama doe and her little small fawn!!

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)


I walked 29 minutes this morning... I didn't walk the 2 days before.  ::)

Did I mention last week? I don't think I did... A funny thing happened on my way to the recycling center...  I was taking a shortcut through the neighborhood across the main road from my townhouse development, on my way to the recycling center. That lets me avoid a major traffic road and 2 stoplights. It's the neighborhood I often walk through. Anyway, as I was turning to exit the neighborhood along the way, I saw a rather large turtle in the middle of the road, heading, very slowly, to cross it. This would not do. Too many cars come through there since it is a connector to another high-traffic road. I stopped my car in the middle of my side of the road so no other cars could get around me and hit the turtle, and I got out to move the turtle out of the road. I had learned that when doing so, to move them off the road to the side of the road it was heading to... otherwise, it will just get back in the road to try again to go in the direction it had been heading. I didn't realize, till I had gotten out of my car and walked closer to it, that it was a large, but not giant, snapping turtle! I hadn't seen one nearby in a while, and I was actually very happy to know they were still in the neighborhood. I definitely wanted to help this one out of harm's way, but I know about snapping turtles, and they can be quite daunting! Not to mention nothing you want to be able to get a hold of you! It was big, but not too big for me to be able to pick up and move, though I knew it would be heavy... and I knew it would be PISSED to get messed with!! LOL! And I did NOT want it to be able to reach me with its long whip of a strong tail, or its very long neck, attached to a massive set of strong jaws that... SNAP! Their neck reaches way farther out than your average turtle. LOL. And that set of jaws is nothing to mess with. I wanted to keep all of my fingers, fractured, sprained, or not. So I got my courage up, made my plan of where on his body to get a nice firm grip, and where I would be quickly moving him and setting him down without my hands lingering near him. Of course, he came to a dead halt as I approached, and he pulled his head and feet closer in to his shell. But when I picked him up, he quickly stuck his neck out as far as he could, back towards my hands near the back half of his body, and opened his massive jaws and HISSED at me... LOUDLY!  :o  :o  Oh my. His big-ass triangular style long tail whipped aorund, too. Thank goodness, I had successfully picked him up where he was not able to reach me with either, and I put him in the grass on the other side of the road, where he was headed, a couple of yards from the curb. I waited to see if he would start walking before I left, so I could see if he would head in a safe direction, but he was a "no go" on that, and stood his ground. So I got back in my car, cleaned off the icky wet mud and blood he had left on my hands from his muddy rear feet that managed to scrape me with his long, sharp nails from his long legs, that went furiously paddling in the air to escape me when I picked him up. Then I turned my car to head out to the main road, and when I looked back, that big guy was nowhere to be seen!  ??? I looked to be sure I didn't see him anywhere near, or in, the road, and I couldn't locate him.  8)  They can certainly move when they want! I hope he is lolling in the shade by a nice pond with some tasty fish.  :-*

Phyl, good cat pics this morning, love the American Gothic! We have 68 right now, high 81 today. I think I will turn the A/C off for a few days!

Lani, I have never let my cats outside, not since 1973 when my cat JB got hit by a car. Never again after that. And now there are coyotes to worry about!  Sam, Sophie and Harley love going outside on the deck! I open the sliding door every morning, just enough for them to come and go as they please. What do you hear from Mike? I couldn't find when you said he would be home! Love the dog noses good night!

BL, sounds like you and Pippy are having a great bass season! 

karen, in search of a fly swatter!  Seems like they are never handy when you need them!

oldguy, that was a great D-Day video! Thanks!

Phyl, 56 here, high 83 today. After tomorrow it looks looks solid A/C temps for the forseeable future, high 80s, low 90s. Summer!  Well, I can't take credit for those Decorah North pictures, I always try to note the poster but there wasn't a name. I have searched and found it again, the credit goes to Deborah Victoriana. I went back and added it to the post. I can't remember exactly where I found it but someone must have reposted it somewhere without the name. Will read the interesting articles later this morning!

Lani, hope you are getting some good sleep! And hoping that you and Mike and Sadie all feel better today! It will soon be Hatch Watch at Hellgate!

baz, oh my, what a story of you saving that poor, MEAN turtle! I could picture it all in my mind! If he knew that you certainly saved his life he would give you a kiss instead of a snap! What a sweet picture of Lil' Bro and his friends, they are all so cute! Of course he's the handsome redhead in the middle!  :-* I remember those days when Erin played at that age, just getting them used to the field and kicking the ball around! Oh, I love the Simon & Garfunkel Concert in Central Park, so many good songs!  https://www.grunge.com/840877/the-story-behind-simon-garfunkels-concert-at-central-park/  Here's a cool video, flashed back and forth in time:  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=simon+garfunkel+central+park+songs+youtube&&mid=1E9E51883035AFA1AF2D1E9E51883035AFA1AF2D&&FORM=VRDGAR

BL  Interesting. Thanks for the follow up on the "bending" paddle.  When you do a lot of any one sport you become an expert in the best equipment.  ;)

BAZI  There are many photo's that live on in history and this certainly is one of them  RIP  Bill Anders.   Etta  LOL  Cats can be really funny.   " Select your spot:  ;D ;D ;D    Oh my gosh.  Those little ones are the cutest ever.  Look at all that red hair  ;D
What a rescue tale..I would have no knowledge about moving a turtle - Glad you did and still ended up with a few scratches.  By the way, this story reminded me about your hand!!  How are you doing?  Did you finish your OT?

LANI  Sure hope you got a good night's sleep.  How are the "patients" this AM?

PHYL  Interesting about the silk fabric.  Could be a game changer esp for those of us living near an airport  LOL     Milky Way  awesome.

CLYNN  Simon and Garfunkel had such classic music.  Had a couple of their "albums" back when.

I can't believe another shot may have trumped the first.  Do we know this Deborah Victoriana?  One of the forum?

Phyl  You're first hearing about the "tipping" of the stray cats, or even cats who have a home.  It's quite a few years back that I heard of it.  We have to do better at spreading the word.  I've always had all my rescues feline spade/neutered, not clipped because they've liked living inside with A/C, and heat, and blankies.  I must have heard it either from Bob Barker or Betty White.  They did a lot with that promotion.
 
Bob Barker donated the vast majority of the donation here in Chicago in building and funding a spay and neuter program for cats and dogs ala PAWS.  Beautiful and worthy way to remember him.

One more nice day today --- hoping to get some outside time in today.  Yesterday was cancelled by a horrendous sudden case Montezuma's revenge.  'cuze my language.  Don't know what happened there.   :-[

Lani, you did a lot yesterday!  Nurse and washerwoman  al lday!  Hope you are rested!   Hopefully Mike and Sadie are better!

Baz, BabyBros curly red hair is to die for!   The turtle story worthy of Readers Digest!
Clynn, two days of wonderful pictures of the norths?   Have to check on 18! 
Iris is  doing a great job!   Cannot wait to see a hatch!  Interesting to note that Louis has not been around!
Phyl. Interesting  about the earth elements in coal mines!   A new job for the coal miners and a cleaner industry!  Many of the coal mines in central Il. Are not mapped and the wooden structures that hold them up are rotting, causing mine subsidence !    Sometimes a house falls in!  Wonder if they will attempt to
Wonderful sky photos.

Did you see this tig - a freighter collided with something under water in Lake Superior, carrying taconite, but now safely in Thunder Bay....what the heck? was he out of the shipping lanes?

Baz - in my city we have reports of snapping turtles crossing roads a lot at the moment...so far, people have avoided hitting them.
But, reminds me when young we found one in one of our window wells. Dad was working so Mom called her brother who came and wrestled it into a wheelbarrow. Across the street from our home is woods and Nine Mile Creek. Twas a big guy too...Success however in pushing it back to a safer place.

Another beautiful day here...out for a walk soon, bbq ribs in the crockpot, some gardening to do yet and then a sit on my deck to enjoy. Later

Puff not sure if I read this correctly. But, I've known about 'ear tipping' for 40yrs.  As I'm a supporter of 'Alley Cat Allies'.   https://www.alleycat.org/.
I have never had my cats ear's 'tipped' they are indoor only. That usually only applies to 'community' or feral cats who have been neutered (TNR program) and vaxed by a vet and then released back into the community of their colony. By posting about  Alley Cat Allies, I have spread the word via Twitter, FB  , Nextdoor.com and various local vet offices.  No better vehicle to make the TNR program known that Alley Cat Allies.

Phyl, I have known about ear tipping about 50 years so there is no way of knowing when it started!   Some places will do a tattoo on the belly during a spay.   The problem is  that the program is not large enough, staffed with enough volunteers  or funded enough.    Many folks complain about the problem but have the opinion that the other guy should do it!   There was one woman who took care of a large colony in .Fairhope Al
 She took care of the vetting and then fed and watered every day! Periodically there was a request for food  or funds!  Her bill for that was enormous!   Oh well!  I wish I could do more!

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: Puff on June 09, 2024, 06:37:49 PM

Well, ladies, I'm also not sure when tipping started, but it's been a long time ago that I heard about it.  There's also the option of having a house cat "marked" in case they like to roam or if they escape.  It just sends a reassuring clue of what is being handled.

There was also mention on news about Bob Barker donating the biggest amount of his will to about 50 (?) animal/cat/dog charities.

Lani, hope you and Mike and Sadie had a good healing sleep...  I Googled 'famous people who champion animals' and there is quite a list!  https://www.thetalko.com/18-awesome-celebrities-who-love-animals/

Phyl, I think social media has greatly increased the help people give to animal causes, kudos to you for spreading the news! I rarely post anything on Facebook that isn't about animals, mostly eagles and the need to stop contributing to the lead poisoning...  Now I need to get more coffee...  ;D

Morning Everyone

KAREN/PUFF    Yes Betty White and Bob Barker were big advocates for the animal kingdom and proud of it..  I remember several times when animals were incorporated into a Golden Girls story line, :D

LANI  Today is a new day and hope your patients have all improved.  :-* :-*    Awww  Gentle Mama and pup  :)

CLYNN   Love that sliced orange hanging. Thanks for the celebrity list - I had forgotten about some of those Ellen DeGeneres for one.  Howard Stern was a surprise.   Badlands are beautiful.   Amazing how varied all of our 50 states are.  You can see everything here.

CLynn    I know, there are so many animal welfare and rights champions the list seems endless, and yet there still isn't enough help.
lots of orange slices this morning; tks for Hellgate update and The Badlands  snaps are awesome---what's not to see in the USA.

Tsk Betty White always mentioned the animal causes, as did  her husband Allen Ludden. Don't forget  another animal advocate---Doris Day.
Interesting crayons   this  AM.

Phyl, love pictures of those pretty blue eggs! I am always amazed at how you can identify all the babies!

tsk, I was also surprised at some of the names on the list! Emily Deschanel for one (She is Bones on the tv show BONES).

Flathead Lake in Montana is the clearest water on Earth. The clarity of Flathead Lake's waters is renowned. In the summer it is often easy to see through twenty feet of the water column. The lake is so clear because it is relatively low in nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) which promote the growth of algae.

CLYNN  Looks like the boat is suspended over Flathead Lake  :o

KAREN   One step at a time... ;) ;)

KB  Took a better pic this AM of the lilies

Off to brunch with the girls.  Only 59  LOL  should get to mid 60's today  Sun is shining.  Had a singing cicada in my zippered sweatshirt while out weeding this AM  YIKES  I did the cicada dance trying to get him out   ;D ;D ;D

Clynn, We're feeling better todayi.... Loved the dried citrus! I could simmer dried citrus year round... prayers for successful hatching Iris/Finn! I'm so excited!  :-*... beautiful badlands pics.... the stunning blue waters of Montana's Flathead lakes. I wonder if BL or Lilbro have been there.

Tsk, Mike was up coughing starting around 3am. His voice is better today.... Sadie is doing well too. I don't know what upset her tummy... stunning lilies... the cicada dance. LOL!!!  Doris Day Animal Foundation. https://www.dorisdayanimalfoundation.org/ .... Enjoy your brunch with the girls.  ;D

Phyl, oh my, beautiful BB eggs sitting sweetly in a perfect nest.

{{{karen}}} is there a way someone could place a small mirror above your finch nest? You would be able to see what's going on.  ;D..Of course, you could only do that when the nest is empty ... good luck with your pt and assessment today... and have a good day  :-*

I'll be working outside filling trash bags with leaves.. lots more to do.
Have a good day all!  ;D

Post by: Puff on June 10, 2024, 11:27:04 AM

Well, tsk Looks like we both have that same color.  I also have 3 more - yellow and pink open.  Last one should show its colors today, two-tone, gold center and surrounded by red. 

I've been following the conversation the last few days.  I also have mine "caged" but in a green plastic covered wire, closer and smaller squares.  Dang rabbits used to always shred off the bottom leaves (not called leaves,  fronds?).  I learned to refer to them as Oriental/Asiatic/Perennial.  I'll have to concentrate some of my time to clear away the weeds around them so they can show me their "stuff".  So pretty, but only for a short time.  But then, too, I have 4 large pots next to them to take over the display.  Pots this year have coleus, maroon spike, and green with white edged ivy.

OK, so there's work to be done and I sit here killing time - ugly cicada got to me yesterday, didn't get half done that I had planned.  AND, now I'm even more late today getting finished here and getting out.  Compliments of ComEd. . . power outage just ended; was out from 9:04 am; now 2 more hours behind.  Now the /sun is out and the temps warmed - critters will be back in force.  I'm going to try smothering my clothes in bug spray.  I don't remember any conversation anywhere about possible effect of bug sprays like Off.

I'm gone~~~~~~~

It has been a busy day of catching up on things...  I had my last appt last Friday with the ortho for my hand, and had my last appt today with my OT. They said for me to get back with either of them for more appts if I feel a need for it. The OT gave me lots of new strengening exercises today to do at home, along with the mobility ones I had been doing, and a few new ones of those, too.

I believe in a strong mind/body connection... and right now I may have a problem with that.   ;D

KAREN  I suggest flying to Buffalo if you have to go/  LOLOL   Pretty chilly today but sunny.  Down to 50 tonight but rebounding to 70's tomorrow.  I see my yearly visit to the eye doc tomorrow as well.

BAZI  Never saw 42nd Street so enjoyed that video  ;D  Thanks for ortho update.  What percentage would you use to indicate your hand function relative to "back to normal"?

Great several hours with friends catching up with an Alaskan cruise, a trip to Florida and a trip 2 yrs ago to Galapagos.  Plus everything else inbetween.   Went to Jean's after lunch and she had made home make angel food cake with home made ice cream and fresh picked strawberries!!

Heck of a bobble head beaver. We pondered that bow talisman for years.

It grew on us, it's a wingnut.

I just don't know what to say other than the weather here has been most kind.

Pip, Kopje & I finally pulled the pickle ashore just to reflect on it all and enjoy the land.

We've honestly lost count on the bucket mouths?

All most all Catch-N-Release.

Well to tell U the truth there is one that will hang on a Catskill cabin wall above the fireplace for a long time.

No tackle used contained one shread of lead.

Not a single strand of fishing line that was lost that we did not valiantly retrieve.

Many participants of nature joined us vying for and fussing over our presence in their fridge.   ;D

We sincerely don't apologize.

Well maybe a wee bit to that black bear we sprayed .. My Fish, my fire, my dinner .. Big forest that way big guy > >  :-*

The Canadian owned freighter that hit something under water in Lake Superior was 35 miles south of Lake Royale when it took on water....safely made it to Thunder Bay MN.

Tsk, Mike called his valley doctor this morning, he ordered a z-pak for Mike. We get our prescription at Safeway.... So he started on that this afternoon, hopefully, he'll feel better tomorrow. What a fun time with the girls! You took a lot of trips without having to travel and enjoyed a delicious dessert at the same time!

Hi Lisa Pretty pics of HD/HM in Decorah thread.  ;D

Tig, thanks for the Key Bridge update.

BL, The Pickle rides again!  ;D ... enjoyed reading about your adventures, I'm sure the bear will remember.

Phyl, D18 has branched! Thanks for Amy's Blog!  Soon D18 will join D17 in the sky, a good year for the North Nest! Ugh on those micro plastics... Glad to hear you got an appointment for your hand, hope there are good options!

Lani, good to hear that Mike got some meds, hoping he is already feeling better today. And hope he can stay and work from home for a while, he will get better faster under your care! Thanks again for the Royal Albie report, those kids are getting so big! Sweet little owls last night!

E4E, glad you are enjoying the pictures of all the beautiful places in the USA!

BL, you and Pip have such adventures! Love the Bobble Headed Beaver adorning the Pickle! And fish is good for you!  ;D

karen, I remember you telling me about that P/T gal when you were in the home, you weren't very nice to her! LOLOL!

Lisa, love that vase of flowers! I have a few FB pages that post all the pictures of wonderful places in the US, they amaze me, we have such a beautiful country!

baz, wow, you are done with the P.T for your hand...what an ordeal! Glad it's over and you are doing well with it!  Hey, I have that Mind-Body problem sometimes!

tsk, well, yesterday was our last nice day for a while, the heat starts today! 88. High 80s/low to mid 90s for the foreseeable forecast. Back on with the A/C!

tig, thanks for the FSK bridge video, really shows how huge the pieces of bridge are! I cannot imagine the cost of it all...

Hellgate - Finn feeding Iris! A first! What a guy he is!    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxa1dC4vf3o

LISA   Love those raspberries in the rose water  :)

TIG  All the documentation of this bridge disaster is remarkable.  An amazing insight into what it takes to clean up after a disaster like this.  Comes with a lot of risk.  :o

KAREN   Boy you were really out of it at the "home" not to remember her.  What a relief for her to see you recovered and healthy and your old self.

BL   You are a true outdoorsman.  Love Bucky the figurehead  ;D ;D

KB  I'd be curious too.  Keep us posted if you find out what that ship hit.

LANI   Yes it is always wonderful to live vicariously through your friends  LOL    Z-paks are the best.  Mike will feel better much faster.
The funny thing about Jean is that she is not known for her cooking.  To any of our potluck gatherings she always brings shrimp  LOL   So to have her make this entire dessert from scratch was wonderful and she was so relieved it all turned out.  ;D  It was extra special.  We both celebrate b-days in June.   Owls are cute - except when they attack our eagle and osprey friends   :o :o

PHYL  Clapping hands for DN18.  ;D  Thanks for the b-day greeting

Thank you LISA  ;D

CLYNN  Thanks for the butterfly b-day greeting and the bright yellow AM  pics

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY  X ???????

I feel bad Tsk, and I even had it in my date book.  So sorry.  I hope it is a spectacular, special day.

I also have to repeat what you said Clynn.  When I have discussions with clients I always try to sneak in my line, too.  We have a beautiful country - you could try something here.  A couple things come to mind:  A lot of  pics and testimonials of our country are shared in the forum, but the joy and overwhelming thrill needs to be added. Second I've seen so many (remember 45 states) but then someone will post a picture of their trip/park/sight - And I think to myself "Now I was there, how did I miss that?  I'll have to go back."    ::)

I've been to/through/stayed in Iowa many times.  This year I'm trying one of  the rollercoaster roads on my way there.  I find it very interesting that native Iowans I mention it to give me that blank look.  I hope to  have a review for y'all July 18.

ENJOY tsk

So happy for Iris!   What a wonderful mate she got!   Pays to wait?  Some day your Prince will come? Congratulations to the Norths!


Fantastic work clearing the Baltimore Harbor!  The original estimated time line  was 6- 12  months and they got it done in 11 weeks!  Wow!  Still  a loss of over a billion dollars!

Tsk, I do not remember this ot lady!  She was in my room once and I wanted her out!   She wanted me to do things I needed a lot if pt before I could do them.  I really never saw her after that and  think she may have gone somewhere else!   Had ot later from a totally different person!   Was out if it while in the hospital with pneumonia! 

Lani. Good that Mike has a z pac!

Puff. Those Iowa  roller  coasters are great! wonderful relief after the flat, boring drive thru Nebraska!  The part west of Lincoln and Omaha!  I can still feel the ride and see the lush fields from 40 years or more ago!


BL, wonderful craft and set up!  Sounds like a great get away!  Is thua your cabin!  Respectful outdoorsman!

karen, yes, Nebraska is boring until you get to where you can see the mountains! Becky and I drove through Nebraska when she moved to Oregon. I don't remember what state but there were some kind of rollercoaster roads on the way, past NE. It's funny that I remember that P/T person...you ran her off!

Lani, perfect birthday song for our Butterfly Lady!

Going-to-the-Sun Road in Montana, quite possibly the most scenic mountain road in all of the US.

Royal Albatross news!

TF gets feed from mom LGL  :-*
Weighing News (10.24 am):Top Flat chick is 140 days old and weighs 9.6 kg. Last week he weighed 9.9 kg. The average male weight at this age is 9.9 kg There is approximately 100 days till fledging. LGL was seen coming in to feed her chick yesterday while the live stream was off-line. There was a few calm days after weigh day last week and the parents have not been in as frequently, but the slight weight drop this week is not a concern.

Top Flat Track chick is 132 days old and weighs 10 kg. Last week he weighed 9.4 kg. BOK and WYL were seen feeding their chick yesterday while the power was out. Both BOK and WYL have continued to come in quite frequently. On Sunday WYL dropped a large piece of octopus which was too big and heavy for his chick.

Not really a major deviation, just a tweak on my route to Deborah.  Leaving Prairie du Chien I go a bit north west.   Town is Waterville; there are a couple others in Iowa, but this is on the way.  Clynn found the same pic I've been looking at for maybe 3 or 4 years.  Mentioned the caveat before - my hotrod rides low and even has a low hanging spoiler at the front.  Phyl I don't think I'll be able to sail through the ups and downs.   ???  I was talking it through with OG.  He helped with the map and Rte numbers.

BTW tsk The fledge today was a special BD present all the way from Decorah.  But then too, these fledges always have to be around your BD.  Has it ever happened before??

National Corn on the Cob Day – June 11, 2024
U.S.

https://nationaltoday.com/national-corn-on-the-cob-day/ (https://nationaltoday.com/national-corn-on-the-cob-day/)

Some call it “corn-stick,” others go with “sweet pole,” but we like to call it amazing — especially when you use those cute plastic corn on the cob handles. National Corn on the Cob Day falls on June 11 — the perfect pre-summer date. (Although, for most home gardens, mid-June is still too early for the harvest.) But you can’t blame anyone for being in a hurry. The sweetness doesn’t hang around for very long. It has to be picked at its freshest, otherwise there’s a risk of — nothing really — it’s just slightly less incredible tasting.

Note: If you plan on doing the picking yourself, there’s a trick to spotting when the corn is ready. During the milk stage, the kernels are still soft, and this is nature’s way of saying “come and get it!” Boil it, steam it, roast it, or grill it —
there’s no wrong or right method as long as it stays on that cob.


King Kamehameha Day – June 11, 2024


https://nationaltoday.com/king-kamehameha-day/ (https://nationaltoday.com/king-kamehameha-day/)

King Kamehameha Day, a pretty big deal in Hawaii, falls on June 11 and celebrates the accomplishments of “Kamehameha the Great.” He’s credited with uniting the Hawaiian Islands in 1810.  A highly revered leader, Kamehameha is honored each year with numerous celebrations across the islands.  Downtown Honolulu hosts one such celebration, where hundreds of leis, at least 30 feet long, are draped over the a 15-foot statue of the celebrated ruler.  Other celebrations include parades, a plethora of floral arrangements and, of course, the traditional Hawaiian hula.

I was done with my post and accidentally closed it after previewing, I got so excited because I just saw that the egg at Hellgate has hatched! I don't have time this morning to do it over, I have to go get the Munchkins in a little while and have some things to get done first! I will be back later!

National Corn on the Cob Day – June 11, 2024
U.S.

https://nationaltoday.com/national-corn-on-the-cob-day/ (https://nationaltoday.com/national-corn-on-the-cob-day/)

Some call it “corn-stick,” others go with “sweet pole,” but we like to call it amazing — especially when you use those cute plastic corn on the cob handles. National Corn on the Cob Day falls on June 11 — the perfect pre-summer date. (Although, for most home gardens, mid-June is still too early for the harvest.) But you can’t blame anyone for being in a hurry. The sweetness doesn’t hang around for very long. It has to be picked at its freshest, otherwise there’s a risk of — nothing really — it’s just slightly less incredible tasting.

Note: If you plan on doing the picking yourself, there’s a trick to spotting when the corn is ready. During the milk stage, the kernels are still soft, and this is nature’s way of saying “come and get it!” Boil it, steam it, roast it, or grill it —
there’s no wrong or right method as long as it stays on that cob.

Another of my annual yearly ATF traditions - - - On the way home from Fledge I stop at one of the roadside vendors to get a fresh off-the-stalk supply of sweet corn.  Delicious stuff !   Well not last year; crop was a wee bit before peak season, only OK.

AND. . .Just in case you didn't get the word - DN18 did make it back to natal nest last evening about 9 o'clock.  Spent time talking to 17 about the escapade.

Hi Beakers!
I'm moving a bit slow today. I had heat stroke or serious breathing episode on our morning walk.
Thankfully, my walking partner and dogs got me home. My blood pressure is low, and I'm moving slow.
I don't want to leave Mike and the furry pets alone. So, lots of water and rest is on the schedule today.

I may be a bit quiet, but no worries. All will be well. And prayers each of you are well too!  :-*

Heck of a bobble head beaver. We pondered that bow talisman for years.

It grew on us, it's a wingnut.

I just don't know what to say other than the weather here has been most kind.

Pip, Kopje & I finally pulled the pickle ashore just to reflect on it all and enjoy the land.

We've honestly lost count on the bucket mouths?

All most all Catch-N-Release.

Well to tell U the truth there is one that will hang on a Catskill cabin wall above the fireplace for a long time.

No tackle used contained one shread of lead.

Not a single strand of fishing line that was lost that we did not valiantly retrieve.

Many participants of nature joined us vying for and fussing over our presence in their fridge.   ;D

We sincerely don't apologize.

Well maybe a wee bit to that black bear we sprayed .. My Fish, my fire, my dinner .. Big forest that way big guy > >  :-*

BL- keep those updates coming; tks for  Norths update.

LANI---I've had heat stroke  . A visored  or brimmed hat when the Sun's out helps. As well as good hydration --- water before going out of doors, during and when you're back indoors. Remember, the human body assimilates cool  ( 50–72°F )   water best and more easily then any other liquid  or temperature.  The human body is 50 to 75%% water depending on many factors---
age, gender, body type and hydration levels.  Good idea having a walking buddy and sounds like you have a good one.

CLYNN-tks for the Hellgate update--  6 years since hatchlings and Iris maybe  out of practice  with that moving 'target'...LOL; tks for the updates/snaps You too Lani.

(((Lani))), oh my! I know there have been severe, and extreme, heat warnings for that area! I hope it wasn't a heat stroke! I am very worried if you didn't get to a doctor quickly if you had heat stroke! Or even heat exhaustion! I hope you got yourself into a cool tub of water to lower your body temp. More than that, I hope you got to a doctor. Prayers for your speedy recovery.

Beakers, there's a big difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat exhaustion is bad enough, but heat stroke is life threatening. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent problems if not treated right away. Drinking water doesn't fix heat stroke.

This is a good explanation of the difference between heat stroke and heat exhaustion, and other types of heat stress:

Good Evening Beakers

On the subject of English pronunciation ...

Words from more than 350 languages have entered English in this way. Like French, Spanish, and Russian, English frequently forms scientific terms from Classical Greek word elements. Although a Germanic language in its sounds and grammar, the bulk of English vocabulary is in fact Romance or Classical in origin.

What language does English take the most from?
The English language descends from Old English, the West Germanic language of the Anglo-Saxons. Most of its grammar, its core vocabulary and the most common words are Germanic. Around 70 percent of words in any text derive from Old English, even if the words have a greater Romance influence.

Since almost every language has it's own way to pronunciate a word - English ends up with a little bet from everyone... :P

I have been under the weather, so to speak - a case of eye infection - Starting to see better today - hoping to be back to normal by Monday.  So was not doing much reading - just doing videos...  So some of these are a little dated...

  Good Morning Everyone...                                                                                                                     

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/99/59/71/995971e8056a131ae88b41e356e20790.jpg)   (https://i.pinimg.com/236x/0a/69/89/0a6989aa003082cd90f2bc24e1bff109.jpg)
                                                                                         
Currently: 62F sunny, High  90F  sunny,  Low 62F



Yesterday was a vet day so Maggie could get her rabies vax. It was a very nice visit as we were with our and Maggie's
favorite vet---Dr.  Steele. Mags got a 'senior' wellness exam and a 'pedicure'.   My baby weighs in at 5lbs. 8 oz. Which is very good for such a small kitty.  All in all she's doing very  well... her little heart sounds good. Doc is very fond of Maggie and takes a special interest in her--spending time visiting with her and us.  I expressed my uncomfortableness with the Rabies at such an advanced age and health issues. Relating that Tennessee is just one of four states that make 'no exceptions' regarding that vax.  Most vets here, incl. Mag's agree that consideration should be given for 'older' cats and dogs. Doc said that the rabies vax given to cats is a milder version  than for other animals and that she made an adjustment for age.



LANI-sure hope you're feeling better this Am

CLYNN- looking forward to  snaps from Munchkin Day.  I bet y’all had loads of fun.

EAGLES- I'm sure you both will have a great time cruising  Alaska and  you can spend time ashore.  Hope you can sail the channels  between Alaska and her islands --- Admiralty Island is between Juneau and the ocean, kind of. . We took a small boat cruise of that area and saw whales ;  and seals  lounging in the sun on buoys. While on that cruise a whale came right along side of our boat while it was swimming---I stretched out my hand and caressed it's side by gently holding it in place as it swam. Amazingly it kept pace with the boat and stayed in place. It's skin felt like  fine  grit sand paper with water flowing over it.  Unforgettable !

TSK-  I envy you sitting out on your 'patio' in the evening. I use to do  that in the AM and PM. Nowadays, just can't seem to make it out
there  :(

OG- I remember learning all that about the root languages  and the Germanic, Romance and Classical (Greek/Latin) when I was studying French in high school and later studying Latin.  Also, American and British English are one of the very few languages where the 'Rs' and 'Ls' etc aren't  'rolled'.


   Prayers for: The Beakroom and Cheers.; Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people.  Greenfield, IA;Laken Riley, all those like her and family .
 'Little Gray' and 'Little One' ...All abandoned, abused , lost cats ... stray, unloved, homeless stray and feral cats;
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere .

I wasn't able to peek in on anything,  Phyl.  Just went through again another power outage.  This one was about an hour.  Another one last week was about 1hr 45min.  Add to that about 3 weeks ago ComEd did a major service upgrade; that was almost 1/2 day.  Not bad for me, I just worked on yesterday's puzzle page to fill the time.  But this would be "getting ready for work" time for most - that's not good.  Having lived here 53 years and having done a whole lotta building during the interim I'll just roll with the flow.

I was just getting ready to post something too.  Mind went poof like the electricity.   :-\

Good day with the Munchkins, Bella was non-stop! We played Barbies (I am always the Mom ;D) and we worked on some of the Barbies hair (a mess!). We did some art, a Play-doh session and for the first time, we made cookies! And she washed dishes. Now she wants to make cookies every Wednesday! We checked the park out, all of the new equipment has arrived and hopefully it gets installed soon!

Phyl, what a beautiful picture of the North kids! Love the coloring, sunrise in the fog, absolutely beautiful! They have been very photogenic! Sweet strawberry bear! I am so glad to hear that Miss Maggie is doing well and that your vet takes special care of her.

Lani, aww, Willie and Millie have their new little one! Pretty name for her! Can't wait to see a feeding, I love how they come in with a mouth full of little fish! Hope you have recovered and are feeling better today!  Isn't it wonderful seeing Iris with a little one again? And Finn is so attentive and takes such good care of Iris. This is who she was waiting for! Finn was the first one that kept bringing fish to her in the beginning, I think that is what she was looking for!  The Albies and the Bears are doing good, the North kids are almost grown - life is good in our Beaker world!

E4E, yes, we all know the agony of losing a post...  The Munchkins will be in Branson, MO next week, so I won't have them for 2 weeks!

oldguy, hope your eye is back to normal today! Thanks for all the links, I will get to them after I get this post done! Appreciate all the updates you give us!

tsk, glad you were able to get some patio time without the Cicada orchestra playing! Hope your birthday was a good one, they come so fast these days...  Lots of 90+ degree days coming!

BAZI    Lots of heat related events - thanks

OLDGUY   Thanks for that interesting bit on languages.  Had to take 2 years of Latin in school and am forever grateful.  Then 2 years of a chosen language.  French for me ( easier grammar than Spanish which was also offered)  LOL   Our eyes are so precious.  Good that you are on the mend.  That is so scary in Iceland with that creeping lava flow.  Hope they are right that the experts have time to build additional barrier to the water pipes   Walter Santi and the bed combinations was so funny.  ;D ;D

LANI   AMA  That's a beautiful name for Milli and Willi's new baby.

PHYL  A strawberry bear?   ;D    Glad you were able to see Dr Steele and have that discussion about the rabies.  She sounds like a wonderful person.  You area a good caregiver for Maggie as she is doing so very well for her age. :-*   Beautiful screen shot of the north kids.  The diamond was a Jeopardy question yesterday...

CLYNN   Good orange Thurs morning  ;D   Wow you were busy.  Now cookie making is a fun thing to do.  Never to young to learn the basics .  You certainly were busy and will not be long before the playground is ready.  I see they will be away for a couple weeks so it should be done by then.  Hyperion  :o :o :o  How is your eye/ vision doing, speaking of OLDGUY's eyes.  Any changes?
Did the milkweed seed ever take?

How Japanese have produced wood for 700 years, without cutting down trees.

Daisugi is an ancient Japanese forestry technique  developed in the 14th century originally used by people living in the Kitayama region, because the territory was extremely poor in saplings.

They planted cedars pruned in a special way to produce shoots that eventually would become perfect, straight, knot-free lumbers.

The shoots are gently pruned by hand every two years leaving only the top boughs, allowing them to grow straight. Harvesting takes 20 years and old 'tree stock' can grow up to a hundred shoots at a time.

There was actually another reason why the technique was developed: fashion. In the 14th century, a linear, stylized form of architecture known as sukiya-zukuri (数寄屋造り) became popular, and every prominent samurai or nobleman wanted a house built in this way.

There were simply not enough raw materials available to keep up with demand, so daisugi was developed to produce more wood in a shorter time.

The wood produced with this technique has also impressive qualities: it's 140% more flexible than standard cedar and 200% denser and stronger.

Why aren't we doing this?

Morning all....too wet to mow the grass in back but weed whipped and got it ready for tomorrow.
Heading out with Ollie man this dreary somewhat dewey morning.

Happy Bird Day, Camper

Phyl, that 500 carat diamond! WOW! That would sure weigh one's hand down!  ::)

tsk, we didn't plant the milk weed seeds last year because we wanted to plant them where the old metal shed was, it was torn down but the dirt back there needed some amendments, ahem... it was crappy dirt. So we added to it leaves and compost and top soil trying to get it in good shape and more level. We still have 9 more bags of soil we have that we want to put back there and then Ed will throw the seeds out and keep them watered. I am hoping for a bumper cropl!

Lori, we can always count on you to bring treats for the birthdays! How are you and Destini doing? We miss you...

Lani, Finn checking on the chick earlier!  He just brought another whale of a fish to the nest!

The meeting of Rocky Mtns. and Great Plains one fades into the other.
DeBeers Centenary diamond---just think of all the lesser diamonds that were cut, polished when it was rough cut and chipped out
of the huge rock  axed from the mine.

TSK- your butterfly looks like if  might be a  Common Painted Jezebel  ?

LISA- nice bouquet this AM

LANI- such a sweet birthday card for Camper. That little fella might have been Camper 

LORI- perfect card for Camper   and cupcake too.  ;)

Great greetings for Camper!  Am almost hysterical when I think of Lanis little guy with the tripod!   Eagles your gut is funny as well!  Old Guy got the rustic north woods and the drone in one  shot!   Lori, I ate the cupcake!  Hooe you  had more!  Baz, the cake and rhubarb sauce was definitely delicious!  My a1c  will be sky high when .I see the Dr. in July!

I do nit like the name ama!  Sorry, I think they should have followed suite and called  her something ending in I or y!    Not my call though so move  along, Karen!
Piper and I had a date with her  doctor today!  Not Dr. Hall who no longer does this kind of thing but another vet down the road! Wow!  Hot as August at 97 and  a very expensive trip as well!   A bunch of blood tests to see what caused her seizures!   Soon I will know everything about her except where she spent the first 6 years of her life!

Lani, hope you and Mike are well!

Hyperion, the world's tallest tree at 379.7 feet (115.61 meters) Redwood National Park, California[/size]

I've been to the base of this tree to the north of Tom McDonald Creek.

Not much to see really looking straight up from the floor of the ferns.

Much better Redwood behemoths to see from the nearby established trails.   

Illegal now to be here as of 2022.

That Tom McDonald Crk bushwhack up from Redwood Crk was a worthy bushwhack after all.   ;D

You Nat Geo fuzz nuts know who you are.

Lani, so happy to hear that you are feeling better, I was worried about you.. I just checked on Iris, she is brooding and digging to aerate the nest, then a good shimmy over the little one. Wide awake, still dark in Montana! Picture from yesterday of Finn and little one.

E4E, I have been working on cleaning out my eBay room, getting rid of things that won't sell. I made a big trip to Goodwill last week, will have another one next week! Ed just doesn't know when to stop although he has slowed down bringing stuff home!

Phyl, I agree with Lani, your picture of the North kids is award worthy! Saved in my Pinterest Raptors board for sure!

All About Colorado  - Now I've posted photos of this section of the Million Dollar Highway, (highway 550 between Silverton and Ouray Colorado) from a much wider perspective and it's just amazing, but on this shot I wanted to zoom in on the most epic section of this length of road.  You can see the sheer drop off with no guard rails.  The road demands your attention.  Everyone is different and will feel different about this section of road.  From terrified, to meh, no big deal.  Either way it's an amazing stretch of road.  One I've traveled many times in every kind of weather.  I love this special place on the planet.  Look close and enjoy.  📸: Robert White Photogary

Good Morning Piper is perfect!  After a gazillion dollars her only deviation is a sloghtly elevated liver enzyme!  No indications of seizure activities!  He asked if she ate table food!  I said she eats a cup of kibble a day and bites of my lean cuisine!   We are both too fat!  That is her problem!  This morning she is back to her normal self and frolicked in the yard in the 80 degree heat and excessive humidity!   No rain until a week from Saturday or, Caturday!  Worker comes sometime to change the closure on the new sctrrn door!  The hook and eye was not working for us!  Help comes at noon, bed linens in the washer  and will be dry when she arrives!  Pt comes  between  12:45 and one!   Thats all the news from South Georgia!

Lani!  Wow on that blood pressure!   Not good but happy it came back up!  Do take care!

Camper's long-time friend was in the hospital with Covid this week. They sent him home yesterday with oxygen. Yipes! Can't recall if he said his wife was sick too. He thinks he got it from his grandson. I think they got it on their trip to Mississippi a couple weeks ago. Anyway... please be careful in crowds. I plan for us to get a booster and bring masks for our trip later this summer.

📺 SLOTH TV

Beanie, two-fingered sloth: Beanie’s hind limb mobility is increasing with regular physical therapy and acupuncture treatments! Despite this, our Vet Team has decided that Beanie is not a good candidate for release. It is expected that she will join our other resident sloths as a permanent member of our Sanctuary. Beanie only needs $100 more to fully fund her CUDDLY Campaign! → https://bit.ly/BeanieCUDDLY

Fiesta, two-fingered sloth: While Fiesta is still considered a critical care patient, she is strong and growing fast. She is officially spending nights outside of an incubator and is off nebulization treatments. Still, has a reserved prognosis.

Tulip, two-fingered sloth: Tulip is eating well and growing fast. She is almost ready to graduate to Sloth Elementary!
Nevada, two-fingered sloth: Nevada is healthy and stable but has not been having regular bowel movements. We are monitoring her consumption.

GRADUATE:
Rose, two-fingered sloth: Rose has officially graduated to Sloth Elementary! She is enjoying climbing with her fellow classmates.
JJ, two-fingered sloth: JJ has been keeping up with his classmates, climbing and eating well. He is stable and has a voracious appetite!
Mimi, two-fingered sloth: Mimi is navigating the Sloth Playground extremely well. She is still a bit shaky on the rope bridges but climbs branches with ease!
Moose, two-fingered sloth: Moose is staying active and enjoys climbing with his classmates! He has had some reservations about being weaned off smoothie, but we are working on it.
Grover, two-fingered sloth: We observed some nasal secretions from Grover, so we started him on nebulization treatments. Otherwise, healthy and nearly ready to start spending more time in an outdoor enclosure!
Phoenix, two-fingered sloth: Phoenix is currently receiving nebulization treatments for some lung issues. Otherwise, healthy and almost ready to start spending more time in an outdoor enclosure!
Elmo, two-fingered sloth: Elmo is still in the process of weaning off smoothie. He is almost ready to start spending more time in an outdoor enclosure!
Binx, two-fingered sloth: Binx is ready to start spending more time in an outdoor enclosure! We are still working on some confidence issues, but this big girl is slowly gaining her independence.

🎓Sloth University Update:

GRADUATE:
Marina, three-fingered sloth: Marina has graduated to Sloth University! She is enjoying a diet of fresh guarumo and cacao leaves daily. 
Natalia, three-fingered sloth: Natalia is enjoying the independence of her prerelease enclosure and a variety of fresh leaves. She can’t wait to get back to her wild home!
Myrtle, two-fingered sloth: Myrtle is improving but still not stable. She is being monitored by our Vet Team and provided with supportive treatments when needed. Weekly blood studies are being done to verify she’s healthy.
Ken, two-fingered sloth: Ken was moved to a bigger, taller enclosure and hasn’t been seen on the ground anymore. Yay Ken!
Roo, two-fingered sloth: Roo is making progress and gaining confidence. He grows more daring every day, exploring more of his enclosure!

Bearstudy - Jewel, Cubs, a Lucky Orphan, and More Luck - UPDATE June 13, 2024
Today, the good news was that 15-year-old Jewel was sighted with two cubs, her seventh litter. Her last five litters have been three cubs, so we’ll still be looking for more confirmation of her litter size and to get a picture of Jewel proud to show us however many cubs she has.

Another story is about Little Bear :-*
Little Bear
(https://www.bearstudy.org/templates/yootheme/cache/c6/20240613_Little_Bear-c664af83.webp)

A couple days ago, I felt lucky and grateful for the top notch film team that very much wants to create an educational film about what black bears are really like and about the local community that learned that truth beginning in 1958 (new date information). The community continues to practice its peaceful coexistence today and is known for its LACK of bear problems. DNR records show the community to have 80% fewer complaints per bear than the statewide average. This is the community that has enabled us to learn so much about bear/human coexistence and black bear ways and needs since I shifted my research project to the current location in 1996. These very experienced filmmakers are totally dedicated to creating a film that will make a difference for bears. To do that, they brought more camera equipment than any film team I’ve ever worked with, and I saw great skill and experience in their methods. Over the next few months they will be raising the wherewithal that will determine the film’s length and depth.

Little Bear August 2023
(https://www.bearstudy.org/images/stories/images/Updates_2024/20240613_Little_Bear_August_2023.jpg)

A bit that I saw the team film was an orphan male cub that appeared at the edge of the community last August 20. No one had seen him before or had any idea of where he came from and why he was a orphan. All I know is that he was a lucky little bear to have found the best place in the world for him. In this nature-loving community, a couple saw his plight, used the bear formula that is on the WRI website, and got him ready for hibernation. He disappeared on September 21 but reappeared this spring, and the couple continued their care as an example of what this community is like. So far, the couple refer to him as “Little Bear.” They have not yet decided what to call him if he grows up in the area.

Snapping Turtle
(https://www.bearstudy.org/images/stories/images/Updates_2024/20240613_Snapping_Turtle.jpg)

On another note, a snapping turtle let us know it is egg-laying time here as she walked through vegetation a quarter mile from the nearest water. The picture shows her extending her left foot with its big claws as she pulled herself through the vegetation.

I look forward to what the film will teach and how it will help bears. I’m also looking forward to seeing Jewel and her cubs myself.

Thank you for all you do.

KB  A different albatross .  Big thanks to Bonnie Johnson for DNR juvies shot

LISA  Got some watermelon at the grocery this AM  LOL

PHYL  Heat all over!  4+ days of the 90's here.

KAREN  Great news on Piper!  You certainly do not lack for busyness at your house  :o  Nice safety measure with the new storm door.   Cicadas should be gone by the end of June.  Couple more weeks of this.  Had one fly right into my neck yesterday  :P :P

TIG  Certainly agree - mask in a crowd or confined space.     Home on O2.  :o   Wonder if Camper's friend/family had the original covid shots and boosters.  Kind of a drastic measure. Prayers.

LANI   Awww  Waylon.  So tragic when the Mom gets killed.  One of the rare 3 fingered sloths.  They certainly have a lot of sloths.
Thanks for Lynn's very interesting report.  Sounds like it will be awhile before this film comes out.  Pray he lives long enough to see the finished product - a great tribute to his efforts.

Tim saw injections doc.   Will get 2nd injection June 26th - has to be off blood thinners for certain amt of days.

Tig, I never made it to The Beak yesterday, so I'm sorry I missed Camper's birthday! It sounds like it was a wonderful birthday dinner out for the two of you!


Happy Belated Birthday, Camper!!  I hope by today you have some room for another birthday treat, even though it's a day late. Many happy wishes, and please enjoy some chocolate tres leches cake!

tsk  karen  Dang critters!  When I do anything outside I've been using spray.  I know they don't die, but I'm just trying to keep them from landing on me.  I've also decided that my beautiful big crimson king has become a brothel for breeding cicada.  I took the day off today from sweeping the drive (90 too much - maybe after 6 I'll have to get out to water the drooping plants and to sweep up the dead).

I got a new storm door too, karen.  I think I mentioned something hit the glass and it shattered.  Delivered today, installation Wednesday.  I'm trying the new one people have talked about - sliding screen at the top, glass at the bottom?  No cat nail holes on the screen. ::)  We'll see how that works out.  Old/original one about 50 years old.  Got our money's worth.

I'll take it as a positive that no one has posted any personal reports of the rain in FL.  And it's still raining today.  How sad.  Tony's son lives on the west wide of peninsula in Naples.

PUFF  I love my screen on top and glass on bottom.  Hope you are tall enough to release the glass at the top and bring it down to reveal the screen?  According to SIL  Barb, whose condo is in Naples.  Lots of water making getting around difficult but their car and carport are OK so far per the people who live there.

Bubba, who put it on was suppised to come today and change that but I do not think that is gonna happen!

Pt substitute came and I must say that she is great!  Many of  the pt folks in Valdosta seem to have a full time job and sud elsewhere!  They seem to know
The each other!  This gal works for VOA!  My luck as that is Valdosta Orthopedic Associates! My ortho Md’s business!     She said she did not notice a shuffle but  asked if I had a knee replacement I said no and they were not a problem.  No hip replacement and the only issue in the left hip from back pain shooting over there!   She thinks my right keg is a tad shorter than  the left, my right knee bends to the left leg, and throws my right hip out,  causing the  back pain!  Getting me a heel lift to try!  Still have arthritis  but i
am excited to try this!  She says if it works, no more shots!  Hurray!
Happy dance .

Clynn, We've driven on Million Dollar Road years ago. Beautiful drive.... I just love looking at Iris and her beautiful baby. Dad Finn has done a wonderful job of providing fish, crib rails and love. He reminds me of Stanley. Eagle-Duck would be proud.  :-* ... Clynn, I was scared for myself too. I've never had that terrible vice grip feeling on my throat/chest. I have a great walking buddy... Looking forward to pics of the Milkweed garden.... Ebay room sounds like a big project.

Kb, sweet looking black footed albatross.... so glad for the DNR Eagle family.  ;D

Lisa, On the Decorah thread, that's a great pic of HM in the bluffs. Is that where their new nest is located?... glad Brien is doing well.  :)

{{{Karen and Piper}}} YAY Piper!!!  :-* ... you have a busy day planned, don't over do... I pray the heel lifts help...

Tig, sorry about Camper's friend.... sorry about the game.

Baz, delicious birthday cake for Camper.

KAREN  Heel lift is a good idea.  Hope it works but may not immediately as it has been so long that you have been used to it the way it is..

LANI   Their complex in Naples is small and a few people live there year round who Barb keeps in touch with.  They have a very good caretaker also who looks in on their unit and has keys to the cars if they need to be moved.  Look at the beautiful eyes on that good night pup.  :)

Phyl, 68 here, high 85 today. Rain coming around 9:00. Love the cat escape picture, Harley knows how to open the slider to the deck to get out! I had a martini once, then went back to my rum & coke!

Lani, I just checked Hellgate, Iris is telling Finn to go get breakfast! It's nice to hear her yakking! I know how you felt yesterday morning when you didn't feel right, things can happen in an instant. So glad you feel back to normal.  Back when we lived in New Mexico or Arizona we went to the Grandparents in Bone Gap every summer. Dad drove and we camped along the way, and occasionally stopped at magical places along the way. I'll have to ask Mom if we were ever on the Million Dollar Road. I do remember some scary roads going through Colorado! Thanks for the Bear update, glad to hear the bears are going to get some good PR! And thanks for the Sloth news, lots of patients!

E4E, I have been making good progress on the eBay project, going through every shelf and either listing it or getting rid of it! I have about 50 containers of beads from Kay's house, haven't quite figured out how I want to do those... Stuff is selling!

karen, I do hope the heel lift helps! Sometimes it's the simplest things!

tsk, I think we will be in the market for a new storm door soon, I am going to check into the screen on the top! Ours is a full glass/screen. You have to actually take the whole thing out and put the other in. We have never taken the glass out and I am not sure where the screen is! We are supposed ro be getting some rain soon, but it looks like it won't reach you this time... I can tell that you will be celebrating the exit of the cicadas. I haven't seen any here...

Rock Chasing - Imagine stumbling across this massive driftwood on the beach!
Photographer Philip Lacham encountered a giant western red cedar, 200 feet long and 13 feet around, washed up on Washington's La Push beach. This massive tree likely traveled from Olympic National Park, driven ashore by strong gales and high tides.
La Push's coastline, part of a million-acre park, frequently sees such impressive natural driftwood. The sheer size of these trees dwarfs anyone standing beside them, offering a unique beach experience.

Lani - Thanks for the Sloth and bear study update.  The bluffs that I mentioned in the pic in the DE thread, that is upstream from N1.  There is a tree around the curve in the creek that they like to perch in.  I captured pictures of them there, when I was at ATF 2 yrs ago. It still seems to be a favorite spot of theirs.

Phyl - Thanks for the links.

tsk - I hope your watermelon was nice and sweet.  Glad to hear that Tim will be getting his 2nd injection.  I hope it helps him. Glad to hear that Barb's car and carport are ok with all that rain in FL. Love the pics of Lulu!

Puff - Oh no...do you need a "I Survived the Cicada Invasion" tshirt, too?  :D

A cheetah and her cheetos...

tsk - I seem to remember that the east and west coasts of Florida are different in their ability to not flood with stalled rain systems?...in other words, is it true that Miami and vicinity floods often somehow connected to it's lay out or is it at or below sea level or something else....I read about it once but awhile ago.
In other words I think the west coast of FL is safer from flooding than the other coast?
Do you know?

Been a month of home emergencies, LOL...kitchen sink drain yesterday for one...when it rains it pours. Had a cool plumber unclog it and it wasn't as expensive as I thought it could be.

LOL, and that's all it's going to do every day next week supposedly.
I have my driveway sealing job scheduled for Monday. they better not try to sneak the job in early before it rains tomorrow...I'll question that one if they try for sure.

Lani - whew, sure happy to hear you are feeling better....we could sure share some of our rain with ya, if I had anything to do with it. :)

Heading out now before the rain starts here soon once again.

Had a transformer explosion across the street earlier. Sure sounded like who knows what? and all the cars in the parking lot alarms went off simultaneously..fun fun. I am not on their grid.

KB   Cheetahs and cheetos  LOL  Have no idea about the flooding east vs west coasts.  I do know tho that Naples was listed in the cities with the worst flooding this time.  I forget the other cities.  Counties are Broward, Collier, Lee Miami Dade and Sarasota.  Miami is at the worst risk of flooding.   Transformer explosion - Yikes.

tsk - I just googled why Miami floods...Basically there are only impervious surfaces in the 7 sq miles. and it's very dense. No where for the rain to runoff like into wetlands or large open spaces. 456,00 people or so live in that small area.

Naples however is 12 sq miles with around 19,000 people.

That's the reason Miami always seems to flood....

Weather change has a lot to do with Flooding in South Florida!   While density and concrete  adds to this  one can onlyn wonder why New York and Chicago do not flood as often!  The East Coast of Florida always feels a little cooler than the West
Coast as the ocean winds  feel better than the humid air of the Gulf!   Lisa can tell you about Jeffs reaction to the Gulf Temps and air!   Kind of like walking into a sauna or a steam bath when deplaning!   My association with South
Florida goes back over 60 years!   My close assiciation with tge Gukf about 40 years!  I have  a 💗 /hate relationship with both!

In a recent conversation with a  friend ( a neighbor from when I was 3and a half to now)  she talked about the 4 inches of rain that fell in Tampa.  Her daughter’s pool overflowed and moved to the  slider to the house!
I hope the eagles are okay!


I do not know if I prefer Lisas bridge or the million dollar highway!    Both present wonderful views but not much I could see from the floor of the back seat with my eyes closed!    Like the computer views!
Happy Caturday. Love tge picture of .tim and Lulu!

Oh NR, doesnt sound good for the little wf chick!  Can someone reach it!

It would be the ability  to see yourself through my eyes
Only then would  have you realized how special  you are to me.

For you constant support and endless love.

You will always be my greatest Hero.
And, I will to the end and beyond, always be your daughter.

Phyl, sweet picture of your Dad holding you... and sweet words from you...  We have ordered from Omaha Steaks before, I wasn't impressed with the filet mignon. Looked nothing like the yummy picture and had fat/gristle. I did get a refund though, after I let them know. I just wish they wouldn't add all those things like hot dogs, chicken, deserts, etc. to their packages. The other meat was very good, just not the filets.

There is a video on the explore.org chat that I swear I could hear the limb cracking...the tree was already dead wasn't it?  I sure hope DN18 can fledge from the ground! Chat said they had a good breakfast this morning!

Lori, good to see you! Lots of pretty flowers and yummy goodies!

Pleased to meet you, little lichen hand.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!  :D


NR, that's sad news about the WF Osprey nest chick - RIP, Little One.  :( I hope the other chick and the parents will have good success for the rest of this nesting season, with a successful fledge of the surviving ospreylet.  :-*

TSK, I love your pics of Lulu! Great one of Lulu supervising Tim!  ;) :D  Have you been watching any of the U.S. Open Golf Tourney? They sure have had some hot weather, making for very fast, greens! Some of the usual top contenders didn't make the cut, no thanks to those tricky conditions. Pinehurst is just up the road a piece, as they say.  ;) I have been there a number of times. My boyfriend for a couple of years, from 1998-2000, lived and worked there at one time, though he grew up in Conn. His parents lived in their wonderful home on No. 2 in retirement. It was a getaway from their Conn home for the years prior to their retirement. It was later sold to a famous person!  8) LOL. The Tony Awards are tonight on CBS, at 8p, Eastern time. I will be watching! It might not be very many years till we all see your great-niece on stage at those awards, too! Does she watch that awards show?

Eburg, thanks for the heads-up on the collapse of the Decorah North nest... Looks like a supporting branch gave way! Glad the Eagles there seem to be okay, from recent reports today.  :-*

Clynn, those were all great pics of The Munchkins from this past Wednesday!  :-* :-* It sounds like the park will be ready when they get back from their Branson trip. Yay! Hope they have a great time on their getaway! Thanks for the pics and info re. the collapsed North Nest.  ???  Dang!! So thankful that DN17 and DN18 have already successfully fledged! Now we will need to wait till the end of Summer, or Fall, to see if they rebuild anywhere nearby.  :-\ 
I love the Lichen Hand!!  Here's a song for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZlWLH8SiF8  :D

Phyl, your Father's Day meal with Jim sounds divine! Yum!  :)

Lisa, I hope you and Jeff are having a good weekend. Y'all planning something from the grill for dinner today?  :D

E4E, Bon Voyage!!  :D  I hope you and Kris have the perfect Alaska cruise and vacation!!

Lani, I hope you and Mike are having a relaxing weekend. I can't remember if you said if Shannon will make it there this weekend, but I'm guessing Aly's too far away for a visit right now. I wonder if Mike will get a fresh new stash of Cozy Burgers for Father's Day?!?  ;D  I hope you both are feeling better!! Thanks for your recent updates and pics from the Royal Albies - those big babies are sooo fluffy-looking, I want to hug them!!  :-* :-*, Millie and Willi and their new chick, Lynn Rogers and the bears - ((Little Bear!))  :-* :-* and those sweet endangered sloths... so great to read about their one sloth who was recently re-wilded!! Yay!! I love that they put an air tag on him so they can follow him, as long as that lasts!  Love the pics and good news from Iris and Finn, and their little one!! Oh, and thanks for the pic from SWFL and M15!! :-* :-*  :-*

KB, Yes. I. Get. It. LOL. Cute joke.  :D  Love the Secretary Bird!  :-*

Tig, I hope the wings were yummy last night! Mmm, stroganoff, too. Yum! You and Camper have a nice day today!  :)

Puff, I hope you have a relaxing day, a nice cup of tea, some pretty birds out your window, and you can stay in the cool!  :)

Lori, thanks for the good wishes and yummy treats. I would love one of those maple bacon donuts! I'll take TSK's, too, since she is declining!  ;D That looks like Papa Bear driving that car.  ;) :D I hope you and Destini are having a good weekend!  :)

Oldguy, I hope cards were good to you last night! I hope you don't have to work today and can enjoy a relaxing day in the cool!  :D

Karen, I hope you and Piper have a better latching system on your porch screen door now, or soon, and enjoy a little glider-sitting-and-swinging/gliding time out there when the temps cool down a bit.  :)

BL, it sounds like a great time with great weather for you, Pip, and Kopje, via The Pickle! Enjoy!! :D



Waving to All the Beakers!!  :D :-*



I loved all the "throwback" pics for Dad's Day!  :D :-*

Hey I found an old one of my Dad!...not a very good one, but hey, it's old!

He was a lieutenant in the army at 19 yrs old...

Have no idea what the model of car this is?

Today I learned that in Finland they use to have about 4,000 reindeer/ car accidents a year so they paint their antlers with reflective paint and this is vaguely terrifying

How innovative.

I'm inside for the day...dew point is 69 with temps going above 90 we are in a heat advisory.

Got the front mowed earlier....and moved special plants as large hail is a possibility with tonight's thunderstorms..

clynn - Cool lichen little hand.  RRP posted this on their FB post a bit ago.
Raptor Resource Project

We are sad to report that the Decorah North nest came down this morning after heavy rain added weight to the nest tree branches.  The nest tree support branches had been deteriorating and it was just a matter of time before something happened. 
We are thankful that DN17 and DN18 both survived and, although it looked like DN18 (perched to the right), could have been in the mix of branches coming down, DN18 is looking good, navigating through the wet grass and being discovered by cattle.  DN17 remained in the air through the event and is also looking good.  We hope for a normal post-fledge development stage in the coming weeks for DN17 and DN18.  We will be monitoring them by camera and boots on the ground as necessary.
It is too soon to tell what our plan is for any nest work since the tree is in the slow process of dying.  We will be developing a plan in the coming weeks.  Until then, we are looking forward to some extended time with Mr. North, DNF, and our two precious eaglets!

Lani - Love all your Father's Day pic.  :D

tig - Ooo, I might have to try that one. 

baz - Awww, love the pic of you all and your Dad.  We are grilling pizza today!

N will step up and guard the eaglets from harm!   Wonder where they will rebuild .  They have a good  lumber supply!

Temp  here is 93 degrees  and the dew point is 53!  Humidity 51%  which is lower and more comfortable than our usual morning highs!   No heat advisories !

Hello Beakers...

Sorry to see that Decorah North Nest fell, but glad it lasted until the 'kids' fledged.  An abundance of large trees in the area - hopefully DN Mom and Dad find one to their liking that is within camera shot.

We have been missing out on any good rains since June 1 - grass is turning brown and slow growth.  Last night's rain slid off to our north and todays to our south.  Wed/Thur is our next chance on the forecast - but we have missed out on at least 5 days of forecasted rain this month.  Low 90s for today and mid 90s Mon. and Tue., then low 90s the rest of the week.

Last night's games were 0 out of 2 - just could not get into our feet as fast as the ladies on final hand of both games...

Ran across this video Friday - The piano player had no clue who she was.  This was filmed at the public piano in the Warsaw Airport.  Read the comments for ID of girl, if you do not recognize her.  She went viral about 2.5 years ago...

But so glad to read that apparently the 'Kids' DN17 and 18 have fledged and are safe.
I can only echo what some have said ---there are many trees for Mr. North and DNF to choose from. Surely our pair
will fined one that will be to their liking  and cam worthy.

Many thanks to everyone whose posted the snaps  from Casey Ferranti and kbr  and RRP's report on the sad situation.
All those watching games and matches---hope your fave player/ team wins.

LORI you know I'd try that donut topped with bacon and maple glaze. It looks so yummy. Thank you for your post today.   ;)

LANI luv your 'Father's Day' this AM  ;)   Thanks for snaps of SWFL M15; Hellgate

BAZI, KB nice snaps of you with your Dads

OG tks for links will enjoy them in a bit. Although Did watch that vid of young girl singing along with   pianist Warsaw airport--- :'(

I was perusing some of the cams before turning in last night and caught a snap of  parent in tree, heraldic  DNF, I think, in
the far upper left-hand corner of the photo.

Another mid 90s day today... :(  Had slightly under 1/2" of rain early evening yesterday.  Better than nothing.

LANI  Nice visit with Shannon yesterday.  Bet that perked up MIke.  Glad he is feeling better. Off again Tues.  No time so sign golf ball as it was on the way to the next hole and he tossed it to me  LOL

OLDGUY  What an interesting backround to " American Woman"  :o.  Interesting about the Michipecoten.  Loved the funny quotes.  ;D
Nothing like realizing noises when you move into a new place.  Wonder how many people Claire had helping her.

CLYNN  Burgess Falls - awesome.

PHYL  Colorful AM greeting

Off to an early ENT visit

Steven Wright....a master of the one liners....good clean fun too. Close kin to Dad jokes.

oldguy - great video on the Michipecoten...thanks.

Clynn - thanks.

clynn and phyl - good videos of the Decorah North nest..nice to see them both safe on the ground.
Boy a close call if either or both were on the nest at the time it fell with the possibility of them getting caught up in it somehow.

Rain rain rain....enough already!.....no driveway sealed today that's for sure. we are in a flood watch now.

I did a check up at the Trempealeau nest this morning.  I wonder what the rest of the tree looks likes.  What we see bears a close image to North Nest.  Is  it also as bare as NN?  Has anyone been there to personally have a description of the state of that tree.

I see today, too, that T1 is really trying out their wings.  Should be our next up-close-and-personal watch of another fledge.

Last night I made a post, and said good night.  I am not seeing it here this morning...odd. 

tsk - Happy to bring the DNN news to the Beak.   :)  Good luck at ENT!

karen - I saw your comment on Facebook, and Misty says, NO!  ;D ;D ;D

tig - How cool for your Bro & SIL!

eburg - Flyway air show from CamOp was the next best thing, then being there!

oldguy - Sorry you have not had any rains, hopefully you will get some soon. Thanks for all the videos.

Phyl - Thanks for link about, Man Who Inspired Father’s Day.

E4E - DNF delivered a fish early this morning to DN18 on nest branch.  All seems good in the North.

Lani - You're welcome  :)  The pizza crust got a lil crispy on the grill, but still yummy.  ;D

clynn - Love the orange bicycle in morning pic.  Oh, Burgess Falls State Park, beautiful.  Thanks for Hellgate info.

Puff - Morning  :D

kb - Sorry about no driveway sealing this morning.

Rain... better than the alternative  ::)
A couple of Camper's children came to take him to dinner last night.... all last minute. I quickly searched the website and selected a healthy dinner. When we got there it was discovered the restaurant was closed for the night! We went across the street to a burger joint. Luckily, they had the same thing I had selected... a turkey club wrap. It was more difficult to ignore the malts, but I just had water. Phew. A good time was had.

Thanx E4E... I miss my Dad. Have a wonderful time "up north"

Good after noon!  We have missed all the rain in this area for weeks! Temps in the low to mid nineties untila week from .Tuesday!  Then some 80’s for a few days!  Low
Pressure in the gulf but it is not expected to do much as it forms!  Maybe some rain but no serious tropical storms!  In the meantime, the sprinkler system is working!

Lisa, I think Misty would live that little kitty!  So sweet looking!   Post her picture here!  Black and grey tiger tail and white and grey  on her body and face!  Think she is a relative!

Raining at Hellgate in
Fin on the perch, on guard!  Iris doing her mombrella act, brooding the litt ones!

Been thru that part of Tn, many times and love the scenery from there throughout out Eastern ,tn and  western  NC.  Unfortunately I did not have any water craft to access those wonderful Burgess Falls!   Phyl, how did you view them! 
Bl, you will have to arrange a tour for the  beakers in the Pickle!   Maybe Puff will help!
Clynn, love the look of the building and orange bike.
  Where is it?  Central Europe I imagine but not familiar with the writing!

Phyl, it's so good to see that the North kids are together! They both look fine! I am just so glad the old tree held on to the nest as long as it could, and after both had fledged. It will be different now, we are all used to seeing them coming back to the nest and screaming for food! Hope they stay close where the camera can see them now and then!

Lisa, thanks for reporting that a fish was delivered to DN18! Mom & Dad North will take good care of them I am sure!

karen, I googled the words, it's a restaurant in Turkey.

Hellgate Canyon- Jenny Powell - Finn is a great provider!

They also will teach them a lot of things that they will take with them and use their whole lifetime now that they have fledged! 🙂

LISA   Haven't researched tinnitus much but nothing can be done for it really and tons of people live with it which is no big deal for me.

Morning All - Is it summer yet?  Nope!  Thursday, are we sure?

tsk  What?  Really?  97!!!!  Never even heard temp anywhere yesterday.  Out for early doctor - Long, and thorough; watered and swept cicada.  Heat must have got to me, fell into nap at the puter.  But I never heard about record breaker.  If you made 97 we usually are a couple degrees over ORD.  Guess I'll never know. 

Mornings are enjoyable.  Even now - breezy, cloudy, windows open, my temp 77.  Will change I'm sure in about 2 hours.

Interesting putting together all the info from NN area.  At one point we knew there was some shots coming from the ground.  Not only were there human explorers, but glad to see pics which I surmised came from the nest camera equipment that seemed to have survived.  At least they got a fledge done first.  Mom and Dad also learning some new steps with the events that happened.  I though that was what they were discussing perched together on the one tree across the stream.  "OK, what do you think we should do first" ??  Natural instinct took over beautifully.

What was really weird, I didn't know how to react.  I saw the nest go kaboom - and no one even talking or mentioning it until I found the post by eburg.  Then took about half an hour for others to start reporting in.

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/02/4c/c8/024cc84906bff3afd1f34b4f3c420fd2.jpg)

Phyl - Thanks for the bluebird pics.  Love the bird tree figurine.

Lani - Hope Mike is starting to feel better, and hope you don't catch that cough.  ((HUGS))

tsk - Pretty butterfly this morning.   :)  That is the same thing the ENT told me, nothing can be done.  He does seem to think that I might have had some wax on my tube causing the ringing of the ear.  I have not had a problem since that week.

Puff - Morning  :)

clynn -  ;D ;D  the Kitty B&B never closed!  We still have 3 regular's that come, and then this new lil white striped one that karen mentioned.  She is becoming friendly like Misty, but still won't come near us.  She knows where to come to eat.

CLYNN  the photos I took are of the 2nd brood this season. Right after they fledged, Mom and Dad started
a 3rd brood and laid the four in there now. Jim didn't have time to clean the old nest out.
So, it's been a  real challenge for us to keep up with documentation.  So, to anwser your question about 22 days  plus or minus. But one has to keep monitoring almost daily or it all gets messed up. >:(

It breaks down  rather like this...

 Usually Bluebirds will have two nestings, or in favorable conditions three.
The eggs are laid one each day until the entire brood is complete, usually 4-6 powder blue or, occasionally, white eggs.

 Incubation lasts approximately 12-14 days for Eastern . Incubation usually begins right after the last egg was laid, but sometimes the female will wait a day or two. That makes everything  'ify' IMHO

 After hatching the chicks will remain in the nest for 16-22 days for Eastern. The nesting box SHOULD NOT opened  for monitoring after the 13th day after hatching or the chicks might fly from the box prematurely.

The fledglings look surprisingly unlike the adult birds. They are speckled with touches of blue on the wings. Our fledglings look just like this...it can be difficult for me to determine the age as I go by the appearance. All I do is compare how far along the markings are while still in the nest box. The placement of the hatchlings never changes  after the egg has been laid ,while in the box. That is the determinate I use for age and birth order ultimately the numbering. CR is for Cane Ridge.

Morning all....went from yesterday's rain and cooler temps to overnight temps and dew point climbing.
Already too hot for my low to the ground and black pup, Ollie and walking.
At 8am a dew point of 70 and temps in high 70's..

Storms coming in again around 2pm today. I have to check our rainfall so far this season. I know in May we got around 8 inches and June has been raining almost every day....even April was wet. We will come in way above average. So I took a few more pics this am...

Just found it: about 18 inches of precip since Jan 1 but only 2 inches of snow included in the 20. So around 16 inches...to date. Wowser, no wonder our Rivers are flooding.

Cranesbill needs pruning..it's over taken my walking path. goatsbeards (3) doing very well and Stella lilies getting ready to pop.

Rabbits don't eat my stellas or daylilies..just my orientals. Will fence them in before winter this year

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D



(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8d/1d/1d/8d1d1d8b9245811b5ed88635ab5b19ec.jpg)



I've seen recently that 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise, which is often expressed as 30 minutes a day for at least 5 days a week, is the minimum recommendation these days. Though it can be done in any increments. I also read an article in the online NIH Library last week that had some good info related to some of those recommendations for minimum exercise amounts. It was using a measurement called a MET, which stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is a calculation I won't go into here. A task needs to be in the 4-6 METS range to be considered Moderate. Anyway, it said, on average, the walking rate needs to be at least at 2.4 mph to get to that rate of METs (this is an average - rates are individual, and vary, based on several variables), else it isn't considered to be in the range called moderate exercise.

I walk much faster on a treadmill than I do on my neighborhood sidewalks, that's for sure. But I discovered my walking speed has really dropped off lately.

I measured the distance of my 28-minute walk a couple of days ago, and it turned out that walk was only at a rate of 2.16 mph. Oops... I need to step that up!! ... so I can consider my walks to be part of my moderate exercise!

So today I walked for 39 minutes, and I measured my path afterward in my car (so it isn't exact - but it's close). It turned out I walked today at a speed of 2.6 mph. So I got faster than the 2.4 mph needed to count it as moderate exercise. Yay!  :D

That's my story. LOL.  ;)


Take care, (((Beakers))), and enjoy your day!  :) :-*

PHYL   Cute AM critter  :D

PUFF   Actually yesterday BOTH O'Hare and Midway posted the 97.  Today both posting 93.

CLYNN  another colorful AM  :)  No munchkins tomorrow - Hope they send pics ;D

LISA  No mistaking those butterfly eggs - WOW  What a work of art!

KB   I have that Cranesbill altho I've also called it a hybrid geranium.  I had to look it up as I would love to control it and keep it cut back a bit.  It was part of our new landscaping 3 years ago in the front yard.  Did not know what it did.

LANI   Looks like a block party at TF

BAZI   You are doing great!!!   I forget, do you have a smart phone?  If so you can download the "Map My Walk" ap.  I does all the figuring for you and counts your steps, MPH  etc.  Last 2 walks I have done  21 min to do 1.34 mile( the best I have done since my back surgery)  - then not so good 30 min to do 1.3 miles.  To me the most important thing is that I am out there walking.  Not in this awful heat however...  I also go  faster on my treadmill.  I don't have cracks in sidewalks to watch out for  LOL

After my pedicure today, Piper and I sat on the screened  porch, enjoyed the weather!  Temps a high of 93 but the humidity was only 51%!   Had a lovely breeze with some gusts of 20 mph!   Sun, in and out!  Piper  spent time in the yard  chasing
Squirrels and running around!
 Lisa, where do you want to move to?
Did leg exercises and now time to work on my arms!    Seds

KAREN   Good memory.  Yes the juvies on the ground so early does remind me also of the mulch pile year..  Gone most of yesterday.  Did not hear about Willy Mays  RIP legend.

OLDGUY   Love Santi's laugh   ;D  That was so funny with the vacuum.

Was supposed to head to Milwaukee for the day today but changed to tomorrow for better and cooler weather options.  The greats and my bro and SIL  - we all head to the zoo.  a tradition when the kids get out of school.

Phyl, thanks for the fund raiser announcement! And thanks for the info on your Bluebird history! I have plenty to do today! I am hoping for a day when I don't have anything to do! Our high is only 72 today, because of the rain. Off and on most of the day it looks like! Love it. No rain for Branson, so the kids will have fun! It's 410 miles, a good 6 hour drive for them today.

Lani, your good night cat reminded me of Honey, she could hear the slightest sound even when she was sleeping...one eye would open so she could decide whether or not to get up. Usually not!

tsk, I will request pics if I don't get any by midday tomorrow! Erin is usually very good about sending pics. What did we do before cameras on phones and texts! Thanks for the info on the walking ap, I need to get to walking more regularly, I think it may help!

baz, good for you walking! It's harder when it's hot! Today would be a good temp ...but it's raining!  Easy for me to find an excuse...  ::) ::)

baz - You are doing great with your walking!

tsk - We are getting those hot temps for Fri, Sat and Sun.  On Sat, the heat index will be in the triple digits, and we are attending an outside BBQ graduation party.   :o  I told Jeff, lets just wear bathing suits to the party.  ;D ;D  A good idea to plan for another day to the zoo!

karen - I would love to move to Florida, but Jeff says, no.  Maryland is one of 8th worse states to retire in, and even worse for a State employee, as they tax your retirement. Most people move to PA, DE or FL, who are state employees.  Aww, so sad about Willie Mays.

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.

Lani -  :D  How is Mike?

Phyl - Pretty flowers this morning.  Sweden's Princess Cakes are adorable. Thanks for the RRP post.

LISA  Hope there will be some shade at the graduation BBQ and drink tons of water.   I always thought the Carolina's would be a good place to retire.  Not speaking for myself.   We love the 4 seasons of the year. . ;)

Morning Beakers!  Clynn, like your morning pictures! 
Tsk, have a fun day in Milwaukee!   will you go to the zoo or will the family go today!  Always think of my friend from HS who was the head of that zoo!  He introduced me to water or river rats that lived behind the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago !  They lumbered around and were huge!   Bigger than cats!

Weather today is just about yesterday’s. Nice breeze at the moment !   Piper just patrolled the yard!  She gallops and runs  from on end to another!   Good exercise !   Speaking if which, pt comes late this afternoon!

Forgot to mention. The fires in New Mexico!   Read there are two, one on Apache lands, forming a tong shape fire surrounding Ruidoso!    The  Town was evacuated!   During my time in El Paso that was a favorite spot for us to go for a picnic, hike and cooler weather!  Home to some black bears!   Think occasional skiing if weather  cooperated!   Hooe this lovely area survives!  Yesterday it was 0%  contained!

Finn looks like he is enjoying his new life!  The  North kids  re looking gret  nd finding perches !
 
Ther and pines!
Lisa, Florida is not a good bet for retirement!   Property tax and insurance rates are very high!   Think two of tge best  tax states are alabama and Mississippi!   You know Jeff is not going to do either one!  Lol!

tsk, get some milk!

Yes, Milk Is Hydrating, According to Research!
The rumors are true: Milk is a great source of hydration. A March 2016 trial in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition compared the effects of a variety of drinks—skim milk, whole milk, cola, diet cola, hot tea, iced tea, coffee, lager, orange juice, sparkling water, and a sports drink—on participants' fluid balances and then compared the results to still water. The findings indicated that both skim milk and whole milk are more hydrating than plain water, since when the participants drank milk they were able to retain fluids for longer periods of time than when they drank water.
https://www.realsimple.com/health/nutrition-diet/is-milk-hydrating

I remember Skrudlands, and I think one called Clarks! It was about $2.35 to get a roll of film developed! I wouldn't even know where to go to get film these days, much less get it developed!  :o :o  Remember the Columbia Record Club? 12 free albums if you sign up to get one every month for a year!

Phyl, between selling and trips to Goodwill MAYBE I will get caught up someday! Pyewacket, that's an unusual name! The Strawberry Moon is pretty, never heard of it before!

karen, I think we are in for a wild summer with all the storms, fires, rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and drought! And maybe a derecho or two!

Lisa, we had a couple of dogs when I was a kid, but having to move every 4 or less years made it difficult. We had an English spaniel in England, her name was Jezebel. Dad found a home for her when we were reassigned. And we had a mutt in Arizona named Laddie. Dad also found a home for him when he left for VietNam. I managed to get my first cat, a stray, when we moved to Albion, after Dad retired. It's been cats since then! Cathy is a dog person, Becky is a cat person! If you move to one of those states to retire you can capture the B&B cats and take them with you!  You can move to Iowa!

Iowa is certainly tax-friendly for retirees. Social Security benefits are exempt from the Iowa state income tax. Meanwhile, Iowans age 55 and older are also exempt from paying state taxes on retirement income, including distributions from a 401 (k), IRA, pension, annuity and other assets.

In Puglia, Italy, two old olive trees stand close together, their branches intertwined. Locals call them the “Kissing Olive Trees,” a charming name that reflects the trees’ unique shape, resembling a couple in an embrace.

Breakfast time for sweet Waylon!  :-*

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Lisa, Ezee, Eburg, Weasel, Jilltosa, Kb, Tsk, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Eagles, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, BL, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Phyl, The Swedish Princess cake is absolutely delicious. A town called Lindsborg (Little Sweden) just 15 minutes away from where we lived in Kansas had a wonderful bakery. These delicious goodies would be available..... thank you for notice of RRP Fledge Fundraiser! ... Strawberry Moon.

Tsk, Time with family at the zoo tomorrow sounds like the perfect ending to the school year! Talons crossed the weather will good.  :)

Clynn, love your morning posts colors.... {{{Honey}}}... yes, Iris feeds big one first so it will leave little one alone and then goes to little one  :-*. It's wonderful seeing her in the mom role again. Bless her. .. And there's dad Finn busy building the crib rails even higher. LOL! ... awww the North kids look great!.... love the olive trees.

Kb, enjoy the cooler day and walk with Ollie.

Lisa, Mike is feeling much better. He's had two nights of good sleep and no coughing since last night.  ;D ... we've been to Florida a couple of times. Mike's brothers have retired there, but I don't know why but Florida doesn't interest me. I guess I love the islands too much. Though it would be very expensive to retire there now. Enjoy your BBQ grad party (wear a straw hat, it'll keep you cool and you'll look it too  ;D).  I've worn hats for years. I'm the only one that wears a hat to church. Hats for walking, working outside, shopping,... I never leave the house without a straw hat!  8)

Karen, I hope your pt goes well... good for Piper!!  ;D .... Aly sent me text about the NM fires.  :(

KAREN here's to a good PT session

CLYNN   'Pyewacket' is the name of the Siamese cat  in 'Bell, Book and Candle' (Kim Novak's familar).  Amazing pair of olive trees in Puglia, Italy,

LANI glad Mike is doing better; tks for Sloth Cam updates and snaps everyone looks good. 



{{{T40}}} that's awesome generous of you to match the first $1200.00 in  fundraiser coffers this season. Bless you!

All Five Kestrel Chicks Fledge In 24 Hours!
June 18, 2024

(https://mcusercontent.com/b35ddb671faf4a16c0ce32406/images/ed8965f6-8b0a-6327-7ae6-a0466494f056.jpg)


https://www.allaboutbirds.org/cams/all-five-kestrel-chicks-fledge-in-24-hours/#

The 2024 American Kestrel Cam season finished in a flash when all five chicks fledged within a single 24-hour period on June 16 and 17 after spending 29–30 days in the nest box. Watch this compilation of the fledglings leaving their nest for the first time.

After fledging, these young kestrels will continue to be dependent on their parents for food for another 12–14 days as they learn how to fly and hunt successfully. Fledglings continue to associate with one other for 2–3 weeks, and they may eventually form small groups with other non-related juveniles.

We’re wishing all the best to this season’s flock of fledglings! Thanks to our partners at the Raptor Resource Project for helping us share the lives of these tiny falcons with the world, and thanks to everyone who watched and learned along with us this season. We hope to see you in 2025!

tsk - I hope there will be shade too.  I like the 4 seasons, too.  We get that here in MD.  have a good Costco trip!

Phyl - Thanks for the info on the Strawberry Moon. 

karen - You know Jeff is not going to go there...LOL  He would never go outside, and I think that is why he says no to FL! Oh wow, a named storm already!

clynn - Love the Kissing Olive Trees!  Oooh, all of that sounds good about Iowa to retire, but the snow!!   ;D  I just read the same thing about milk being hydrating. 

Lani - Glad to hear that Mike is feeling better.  If I remember correct, your FB profile pic you are wearing a hat! Thanks for the TRR update.

Howdy Beakers!  :)

I did my exact same walking path this morning as yesterday, and I managed to shave 5 minutes off my time on it today! Yay!  :D

My dinner is getting ready to come out of the oven. It's something I haven't tried before (not made by me, LOL), and I hope I like it, because I'm starving!  ;D

Everyone stay cool and safe from the heat and the storms, and have a good evening.   :-*

Waving to All the Beakers! Peace. SED.

Hellgate Osprey Cam - Jenny Powell - Iris radiating contentment ❤
After feeding the babies again until they couldn't take one more bite she finished the Fish tail and while the little ones were sleeping she did a little tidying of Nest and straightening up some sticks a bit then settled in to snuggle the babies and nap too...all of this with her hero Finnegan on their perch watching over his family

PHYL  Sure hard to believe days will start getting shorter after tomorrow  :o   I saw that kestrel fledge on FB today.  Zip, zip!

KAREN  I'd go to the Milwaukee Zoo in a heartbeat.  When I was younger and first came to Chicago, we thought nothing of driving downtown, finding a place to park at Lincoln Park Zoo - still free!!! and spending the day.  That's a great, manageable zoo.  Brookfield - closer to me is walk walk walk walk to see the animals.  Too exhausting when you are older.   Milw is the best - not too too big nor too small but very easy to do.  It was one of the first zoos around to have outdoor exhibits in very natural environs.  Their giraffe area is huge.  Will go my brothers where 1 great niece will be waiting and then drive and pick up the twins.  Margaret packs a picnic, I'm bringing chips and fruit.  The highlight is at the end we stop at their ice cream shop  ;D ;D ;D  I leave here about 7:30 and it's about 5:30/ 6 by the time I get home - rush hour traffic.  What a shame about New Mexico fires.  Hearing more about the rains hitting south Texas.

CLYNN   Would never have guessed that about milk!!!   Never did the Columbia Record club  :( :-\  Sounds like Iowa it is where we  will all meet at the retirement home!   GREAT olive trees.  :-*  Does one's heart good to see Iris's nest doing well and Finn forever - hopefully.

LANI   Just found out that both of our zoos have a Hoffman's 2 toed sloth.  We learned something very cool about you today - You are a hat person  ;D ;D   There is a gal in our parish who wears a big hat to church always.  She's dressed to the nines.   ;D   I have a floppy terry brimmed red hat I wear fishing and my cap or visor in the garden/walking.  That s about it. ::)  I think I look awful in hats  LOL   So happy to hear that Mike is over the hump.

BAZI  So what have you never tried before??  ;D

Baz, What's for dinner?  ;D

Tig, Love Chicken tacos. Yum!

Clynn, wonderful pics of Hellgate family today... little one had a nice size full crop and dad Finn is still busy building the crib rails. LOL!

Tsk, I love hats, wear them with jeans, sweaters, t-shirts, linen shirts, etc... a day at the zoo with family sounds lovely, especially the ice cream shop at the end.  ;D

Good night!

The  Summer Solstice:

Thu, Jun 20, 2024 – Sun, Sep 22, 2024

Get ready...it officially arrives at exactly 4:51 p.m. today.

https://www.space.com/summer-solstice-when-what (https://www.space.com/summer-solstice-when-what)

Sol-stice: The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol ("sun") and sistere ("to stand still"), because at the solstices, the Sun's declination appears to "stand still"; that is, the seasonal movement of the Sun's daily path (as seen from Earth) pauses at a northern or southern limit before reversing direction.

The loss of daylight per day in July is 30 seconds daily and increases in August/September to 2.5 minutes daily. By the time
the Fall Equinox arrives there is a 3 minute daily loss.  And, when the Winter Equinox arrives the daylight loss is down to less than one minute daily

Phyl, the longest day of the year! And there is Stonehenge! Is that you on the beach//  ::) Love your spindly-legged dolls! We have had a good bit of needed rain, yesterday was lovely, 73. 85 today then a string of 90s.

Lani, I always picture you in a hat, you are wearing one in your FB page! Yes, Finn is making sure the nest is super safe for the little ones, but soon we won't be able to see the babies!  Finn is such a good mate, I think Iris was waiting for him to come along! She wanted a good one like Stanley!  Hope Mike is still not coughing!

baz, good for you and your walking! And please tell us what you had in the oven! Was it a thumbs UP or DOWN?

Montana Osprey Cams - Hi everyone,
Everyday brings new excitement in the Hellgate nest!  With the big difference in sizes between chick 1 and chick 2, there is the possibility that the bigger one beats up on the smaller one.  When food is scarce, the larger chick(s) in a nest can actually kill their smaller siblings.  However, if there is plenty of food, then all of the chicks can get their fill, and all can grow up and fledge.  It all depends on if there is enough food to go around to feed all the hungry mouths.
This is called siblicide, and it occurs in MANY species of birds, such as many raptors, pelicans, boobies, egrets and herons, cranes and vultures, to name just a few.  Although this seems cruel (and is very hard to watch), it is a way that an asynchronous clutch produces the most number of big healthy babies given an unpredictable and variable food supply.
What is VERY encouraging is that Finnegan is proving himself as a fisher extraordinaire!  He is bringing in several large fish every day. Attached is a photo of him bringing in a nice mountain whitefish this morning. 
This means that chick 1 gets fed first and then goes into a food coma, which allows Iris and Finnegan to stuff chick 2.  So far, chick 2 seems to be getting plenty of food and growing well.  Also attached are some wonderful photos from today, thanks to our amazing camera volunteers!
Think pure fishy thoughts, Erick Greene and the Montana Osprey Team

Trying to schedule ot to an earlier time today!   She is coming to close to my appointment for the whole house generator estimator!    With all of tge weather extreme and increasing climate issues. i feel compelled to install one of these!   Turns out that .valdosta is in the crosshairs of storms from both the Gulf and the Atlantic coast!  Who knew?   Antwan, I am too old and feeble to deal with an extended period without power!   Went several weeks on Mobile once and that was ok!  I was younger!
South Texas is now bracing for 15 inches if rain and New Mexico is still dealing with blazong fires!  Sad!

Good pictures Clynn!  Bella and Talon looking happy!

Iris and Finn doing well.  Wonder if Louis ever does a fly over! 

Baz. To repeat. What was for dinner?

Tsk, fun day and safe travels!
Lisa,  some folks we read about have 11 cats!  What is one more?    You would have 3!

CLYNN Munchkins looks happy as always---great snaps from Erin--- Tks for DNN, Hellgate, Dunrovin and Montana nests updates/photos.  Those are  some of the famous Lori Mitchell figurines.

TSK have a fun and safe day

{{{Puff}}} thinking of your 'Ton' and you today. :-*

{{{KAREN}}}

TSK, CLYNN, LISA  1992 Monterey Bay, California. Photo taken just off the shore so I could be in the Pacific w/o getting pulled  out to sea .
The Pacific Ocean was cold that afternoon. Sent a chill as it splashed.  Dan behind the camera.    Took a Vaca to visit Dan in San Francisco---saw everything and took snaps of just about everything. Ate just about everything Chinatown had on menu. LOL
I rented a car and drove the Coast Hwy or HWY 101  aka 'The Mission Highway'. Catholic monks/priests
established a mission every 11 miles or so---a days walk apart.
Also toured the Winchester Mystery House (home of the Winchester rifle family). Given that name as Sarah Winchester claims to have seen  and been haunted by ghosts of all those killed by their guns. So no mirrors and stairs built to nowhere to baffle the spirits.

some bounce

Phyl... we visited missions like that south of San Antonio. Nice.

The tacos... I make it easy on myself. I call them "white girl" tacos, LOL... not authentic, but yummy. We have some plastic food containers (leftovers) in which 2 tortillas fit, folded, ready to receive ingredients. I pop them in the microwave for a few to warm them. I take another small flat dish and heat up some frozen, shredded chicken (Tyson) in the microwave. Then, I add shredded cheese and heat some more. I then portion the meat into the tortillas and add salsa and sour cream.

The pool felt good this morning and the scale is finally showing some progress.

Nice pics... especiallt re: Iris/Finn !!!

After feeding the babies again until they couldn't take one more bite she finished the Fish tail and while the little ones were sleeping she did a little tidying of Nest and straightening up some sticks a bit then settled in to snuggle the babies and nap too...all of this with her hero Finnegan on their perch watching over his family

Hi Beakers! Happy 1st Day of Summer!!  :)

This will be fast - I'm starving! Again. So I need to get to the kitchen to heat up leftovers from last night's dinner. LOLOL, I didn't mean to get everyone wondering what I was having for dinner last night!! LOL! It wasn't some kind of food I've never eaten before, or anything weird. It was just a grocery store item I had never bought before - from the fresh meats case - in their ready-to-cook section... It was some sort of pork roast and spinach concoction. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what all it was, though I read the ingredients!! LOL! It was some cut of pork roast rolled up with spinach - like a tall pinwheel. But there was other stuff layered in, which wasn't cheese - and that's what I have no idea what it was! Anyway... it had to cook for a whole darn hour! It wasn't all that big! I thought it would cook way faster than the instructions said, but it actually took longer! I used my meat thermometer to be sure it got to the correct temp, too. Oh law... what'll they put together to sell next? Ha ha. It's very unusual that I buy anything like that that is a prepared ready-to-cook collection of ingredients. It was priced right and caught my eye on a day I was kind of too lazy to make a meal from scratch, I guess. Anyway, it was okay - nothing to write home about... sliced pork roast and spinach, and whatever else was in that dish! ... plus the other sides I cooked - roasted some brussels sprouts with it, and now I can't remember what-the-heck-else I had to go with it. I was hungry, It filled me up.  ;D   Reheating and eating it all again tonight - it will make 3 meals in total - so I will eat it again after tonight. Unless I'm so hungry, I finish it off tonight! That's a possibility.  ;) ::)

I walked 35 minutes this morning. I added some distance to the same path I have been walking the last few days, and upped my pace a bit more, so it turned out I walked at about 3 mph today - a tiny bit faster than that, actually. It tired me. LOL. As the song goes, "hips don't lie."  ;D  Okay... but not for the same reason.  ;)

I have been enjoying watching the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials. Love some of the personal stories of the athletes competing, and there have been some exciting races and some new records set, too! Go Team U.S.A. !!  :D

Thanks to all for all the updates and reports on so many of the wonderful nests and other wild animal sites we have been privileged to watch and follow.  :) :-* :-*


Clynn, all the pics are so fun of the kids - they are having a blast, and those are some funny poses, too!  :D

Phyl, good memory lane pic from your trip out to San Fran all those years ago!



Waving to All the Beakers! Good Night. Peace.

YAY  Got home at 5:15.  Looks like the north nest kids were surveying the damages  ;)   Started reading Erick Greenes info and thought OH NO the young one died - Phew - ALL OK

LISA   Beautiful field of daisies  ;D

PHYL   Thanks for the info on you photo from 1992.  Fun time  :)

KAREN    Hope that generator assessment went well.

TIG  Clever to have the tortillas already in a container where all you have to do is stuff them.  Sounds like a good quick meal to me!!

BAZI   Good ingredients - at least the ones you knew  LOL    3 MPH  Don't think I can get there but great job!! 

LANI   Gosh I remember that song well " Here Comes Summer"  ;D

Big Tree Seekers - Possible explanation:  it seems a tree fell, then became a nurse log to a hemlock (centre) and red cedars on either side.  over the years the nurse log disappeared.  leaving this bizarre configuration.

Did you know: June 17-23 is National Pollinator Week!!

Here's to bees, butterflies, moths, bats, beetles, and hummingbirds--they play an important role in the natural world,
and bring joy and beauty into our lives.

Good Mornings! Phyl, my trmod are like yours!  Been that way fir a time!  Humidity is 87% but it seems to go down as the dY progresses!  Clynn, what does Bella carry in her purse?  Lol, so cute! Maybe some mad money!

Odd about  heat!  I grew up without ac or ceiling fans and only remember being hot and sweaty  when trying to sleep!  Some Sundays were the famous Sunday drives with the wing window open as well as others to cool off!   Then there was 18 months in VN without .aC!  Somehow we acclimated!   Never knew what the temps were but that was probably  a good thing!   Cannot do that today  or so it seems! 
Tsk, whole house generator!   By the time I get the kitchen, garage door, ac, cpap machine and medical alert
 going there isn’t much power drain left!  Tv for weather alerts!  Lol.   No gas here so it will run in propane!  Literature says  that is more powerful than natural gas!   Been thinking about this for a year and should not have waited so long!   People say there us Home resale value to it!

KB... the link plays the full hour program from MN Live this a.m., but it is in about 6 segments that play automatically, one after the other. You can skip thru them as you would any video, by putting your cursor over the bar at the bottom and advancing.
One of the segments features my Bro and S.I.L.. it is an interview of the Dixieland Pickup Band, Bro in front of truck giving interview, S.I.L. also interviewed. Then they play a number and Bro sings. At the very end of the hour they show a video of a line of Model A cars that I filmed back in Feb.

Hope that helps

Of course I know how to skip/scroll through a video..btw, it doesn't work that well for me...here's looking at you kstp. Can you identify the exact number (time) to get to to see the interview?....otherwise it's a bit of a s show to me....I have been seeing all the cars on twitter btw..so, I knew it was happening.

Tig, thanks for posting the link.  I just happened to tune in this morning when they were interviewing the Dixieland Pickup Band.  What a fun story about them.  I was wondering if that was your Bro in front of the truck giving the interview.  I also thought I heard your S.I.L. was inducted into the Hall of Fame.  Fun story on how she started and kept with the banjo. I had to go after that interview for a Dr. appointment, so I'll check out the link for the Model A cars video.   :)

Happy Friday, Beakers!  :D


I walked the same path/distance/speed this morning as I did yesterday, but in reverse direction. Wore me out. LOL. I'm going to take a break from it this weekend, or maybe just take a more leisurely walk, because my hips and knees are complaining more than usual the last few days.


Yep, and, Lani, my hips say they are not lying! ... about hurting... LOL.  Shakira's song!  ;)

TSK, glad the weather worked out for the zoo outing - sounds like a nice time. By the way, one of the distance and time walks you posted about the other day put you at a faster-than 3 mph rate!!

Clynn, great pics of the kids in Branson. They are having a fun vacation! Love the family portrait!


Waving to All the Beakers! Have a restful evening, All. Peace.  :)

Phyl, wow on those BIG cats!  Love the black cats and the summer cats, I just love cats! Love that good night pic...peace and quiet...

Puff, 90 here today, very humid! Chance of rain, we have been having rain here and there along with the high temps. Nothing like they are having up in NW Iowa and MN.

kb, please let us know when revealed how in the heck that dog got on the roof! Sophie got on our roof but she's a cat and cats can climb!

Lani, aww, you have a bat family! I think it would be wonderful to live in a wooded areas and track bears too! Maybe in Oregon, or up near Flagstaff! Thanks for the Bear Report, love reading it and seeing the pictures! Lily with 4 cubs, oh my! Trying to imagine the noise when they are all hungry!

tsk, we walk until we can't. That is my motto! I have yet to hear any cicadas, isn't that strange? I have heard them years before here. Maybe ours are waiting until their turn again. Your good morning cats look so sweet!

and, then there's this: Apparently dogs can fly!..

My guess is there is a window/opening on the back side of the house that the dog can some how get out of and up to the roof.

There are many videos/reports of dogs doing this if you google it.

Getting them down safely is the issue...and the safest seems to me is a fireman.

One thing I thought about a couple times while sweeping up dead critters -- It won't happen again for 14 years.  Even if I make 94 I won't even know what all the ruckus is about.   ::)

I find it amazing that not more people are going through this like we are, very few to be exact.  I wondered if others have sent their allotment our way.  Thanks but no thanks.  Swept up hundreds of mostly dead corpses on patio alone yesterday.  Doesn't even include those clinging to blades of grass.  I  was hoping lawn service would come along yesterday and take up the dead and the alive while mowing.  I require picking up the grass cuttings - I wouldn't care one iota if they all got carted away in the process.  Truth be told - there must be billions and billions in my big, big special crimson maple alone.  They're either on the leaves/on the truck/or flying at my head.

A sick side story - I found another one of the 17 year cicada on Thursday while sweeping the driveway.  (For those who aren't cicada educated, there are 14 year cicada, brownish and orange with red eyes, and 17 year cicada, green with black markings and bigger.)  I found one Thursday while waiting for handy man who was to put in a new storm door that day.  I swept around the green one and left him wounded to show him.  Most people here aren't even aware, nor do they care, about the 17 year, and I wanted to show Mark.  Well,  before he arrived, a robin dropped down and ate my pretty cicada.  Glad but not glad.  I'll have to hang on until 97 yrs to see another????

Y'all no doubt had enough of the buggy stories.  I'll earnestly try to never mention them again until 2038.

CLYNN   You can include that rain for Wisconsin as well.  At least my bro in Milw says they are way over what they should be getting for June.  Think we may be done with our cicadas.  Pretty quiet outside now - but so dang hot!!  Just went out to sweep up the porch and I'm sweating.  Went to the Farmer's Market early about 8:15 or so to avoid the heat.  Ughh

KB  We all knew dogs could fly.  Thanks for the reality check on the dog on roof.

It was good, but the museum is so huge it was mind-boggling. I was comfy in the borrowed wheelchair, but Camper was uncomfortable walking and then he felt weak. I made him drink some water. We traveled home in a rain storm and as soon as he left and got into the fresh air he felt better.

Phew

TIG sorry to read that Camper wasn't feeling well enough to finish the tour. But relieved he felt better in the fresh air and you both are
home safely. From the  on site museum info  you linked, on the exhibit,  that would have been a very informative/interesting  exhibition.

CLYNN enjoyed your kitty today; so glad y'all missed out on the cicadas this season; also tks for DNN and Hellgate nests updates, that Finn  :-*

LISA in my life I"ve parented two black cats, "Niki' when I was little and 'Sam'antha later.  Black cats are special.  ;)
That's a great Caturday this AM. LOL Buster.

PUFF No. Our 'allotment' stayed here.  Sounds like  a lot of insect critters  to sweep up. Yuck. That was a hungry robin!

LANI that lady has beaucoup chats. Luv your Caturday about cats.

...

TSK, I read and loved Devil in the White City back when it was first published. Awesome book and story! It was a book of stories within stories!!  I learned sooo much while reading it.  With my architecture background, it really piqued my curiosity about many of the historical portions of that book.  It even led me to do some follow-up reading of some non-fiction writings on the very famous and influential, though not really widely known by many these days, Frederick Law Olmsted! He was so accomplished in so many ways, and

Just a brief summary, and a few blurbs about some of Olmstead's work at, and around, the US Capitol building:
https://www.aoc.gov/explore-capitol-campus/frederick-law-olmsted

He's the reason we have a US Forestry Service, and National Forests!

Brief informative inscription from a plaque about him, at Biltmore Estate, where he established our country's first scientifically managed forest:
https://read-the-plaque.appspot.com/plaque/frederick-law-olmsted-at-biltmore

Here's a good place for more. A quick scroll down the main page of this website will give a good overview of some of his most famous parks and places, with some great photos. There are also many links to delve more deeply for those interested in more there:

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

I have to believe it's a Caturday Saturday, because you all say so!  ;) :D  But this has not felt like Saturday to me. All day! Weird. LOL.

I wasted a bunch of this day trying to troubleshoot a funky development in my Microsoft Edge browser display... It just started happening out of the blue yesterday, and it didn't go away overnight. Grrr. I won't go into it, but it apparently has plagued many, many others, over the last several years! Finding that out makes me a little P.O.d with you-know-what company, because it is surely a known issue to them, but still is a buggy problem for many people, and so that company has apparently decided not to own up to a straightforward fix for it. In a more formal setting, I would say, "That gripes my butt."  8)

Moving right along...  ;D

I haven't had dinner yet, so you know what that means... I've got the hongries!! So I'm going to drain the vodka bottle, and make one last dirty vodka martini... it will probbly only make a half of a martini, but that's okay - I have extra olives.  ;) :D  It will set me right to cook a rather large, yummy crabcake waiting in my fridge, to have with some bodacious veggie slaw I made this weekend by way of totally stumbling into a yummy mix off add-in ingredients to the small bag of shredded organic green and red cabbage and broccoli that was the starter base for my slaw!


Have a good evening, Beakers. Stay cool and above the high water mark. Peace. SED.  :-*

tsk   baz  I too have my copy of Devil in the White City!  Triple the recommendation.

Let me mention first and up front - I seldom, very seldom, read fiction.  He really entertwined his "report" very well.  Factually and artistically true.  Most of it personally part of my growing up in Chicago.  Don't know how many times I was drawn to the Museum of Science and Industry when I lived there.  My two most visited beaches were North Avenue and Rainbow beach.  I also got "degreed" at Chicago Teachers' College, a stone's throw away from the Hyde Park / University of Chicago area of his background locations.  I spent much time reading his story and arranging his background facts to fit my reality from about 50's to the 80's.

Fact over fiction . . .

Wow - Just got a gander of Trout Creek.  It's really full and flowing, runoff pond full, deep dunking for geese to get down for food morsels.

We had a lot of reporting going on in our area last night, too.  I'll check out the late news later today on the late night reported tornado northwest of Chicago, Crystal Lake.  Rolled closed by you tsk ?

I dropped off somewhere last night and missed my weather - but sump pump keeps switching on this morning.  Looks like a pleasant forecast for today, even no more 90 degrees for a couple days!

Phyl, great idea, a teapot for a bird feeder, and if water got in, it would drain!  And run out, but they eat off the ground too! Love the little man bird feeder! Wonderful pictures in Amy's Blog! Good news all around! And there's BOB!

Puff, I have not read Devil in the White City, but I know my sisters and Mom have. I will have to find a copy, AbeBooks usually has everything at great prices! Becky belongs to a very active book club, I know they read that one. They are always talking books! I love crime and mystery, I have every Stephen King and John Grisham book and many others.

Lani, I wish I had thought to take a picture of Sophie when I found her on the roof of the garage! I have been working on all the beads, etc. that Kay had. 56+ containers full. I have put it off for a year and am tired to looking at them stacked up in my eBay room!  What a job! Glad you and Mike were able to make a run to the Valley!

baz, I probably have that Edge glitch that you are having. I am ready for Erin to take a look at my PC and clean it up! It's been getting slow at responding and i am sure my cookies and stuff need to be taken care of! Gripes my butt too! I love it when they 'fix' something that affects something else. That happened often at work, they weren't great on testing! Your dinner sounds good!  I think I remember Olmsted's plaque at Biltmore, that place was so beautiful and unique! I remember the bamboo growing on the side of the road on the way in, no doubt set there by Olmsted!

BL, great story of Diesel and the elk herd! Wild Heart Ranch has a donkey named Bunny that guards all of the fawns when they have them, they are great protectors!

Altho I slept through it we had a big storm roll through last night - 1.5" of rain finally!  Think it was the front coming from Mn. through Wisconsin moving south!

BAZI   Computer issues   :P :P   Thanks for the pieces on Olmstead.  I also found ..White City" fascinating as are all Larsson's books.  If you ever came to Chicago in the summer, the river boat architectural tour is a fascinating overview and a highlight of the city's tourism.  Olmstead was one busy guy - Washington Park - Milw...Very familiar and had no idea...Nice healthy dinner.  I also use those starter bags of cabbage etc.
" Sunrise is the opening music of the night"  beautiful  :)

LANI   Risky doing Costco and Trader Joes on a Sat  LOL

PUFF   I think they were supposed to make a motion picture of ...White City.  Lots of problems but think it might be on a streaming network.  I'd have to check.

PHYL  Beautiful bird feeders

CLYNN  On your next solo trip to see Mom you might see if ...White city" is  in audio book form??  Bet those beads are a sure sell on Ebay.

The graduation party was nice, good food, but so hot. 

Puff - I honestly did not know there was a 14 yr and 17 yr cicada!  Thanks for the info.  I can't remember what year it was, but when they were here, my son's area had them alot worse than we did.  I wonder why they choose one area over the other. Trout Run is running full today.  :D

tig - Hope you had a good day at the museum. Oh, see your other post.  Hope Camper is feeling better today.

Lani - "Cats make me happy, humans make my head hurt"  ;D

karen - I had on some capri's, and a light colored shirt.  I did put my hair up in a clip to try and make it a lil cooler.

tsk - I did drink ALOT of water yesterday. They did have umbrella's and fans, but it was so hot that the fan was blowing hot air.

BL - Diesel, living his best life!

Phyl - I agree, black cats are special.  ;)  Love the bird feeders!

baz - You can never have too many olives!

Lani - Buster is a hoot, and his brother Edgar gets on the roof, too!

clynn - I LOL every time I see one of the DNN kiddos looking at the nest.  I think to myself are they saying, "how could this have happened", or "did I do this"? So, only two hatches for Iris & Finn?

tsk - Wow, you did get alot of rain yesterday.  I will ever so happy to see rain when it ever happens.  ;D

Lisa, yes, just the two at Hellgate. Iris laid 3 eggs, but the first one was not Finn's (it was Louis') and he kicked it out of the nest! I am just so happy, I bet there will be 3 or 4 next year. She laid 4 one year with Louis, I think that is the year they had only one chick survive. Lele.  Love your cute cottage good morning! I think the same thing when one of the North kids comes back to the nest remains and just looks at it! The parents are doing a good job of taking care of them even without a nest! I snapped this pic of a feeding on the limb! The other one was squeeing away in the background!

tsk, good idea on getting the book on audio! I need to get some blue tooth ear buds, then I could listen while I am working around the house. I got a copy for $4 on AbeBooks, we'll see which I get to first!

The Fuller building in 1903. With the building's resemblance to a clothes iron, it was nicknamed "Flatiron building". After it's completion in 1902, it was one of the tallest buildings in New York city. With 20 floors and a height of 285 feet, it's one of the city's oldest surviving skyscrapers and has been designated as a NYC landmark and a national historic landmark.

Morning Lisa, Ezee, Eburg, Weasel, Jilltosa, Kb, Tsk, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Eagles, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, BL, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Phyl, I was very tired last night and clicked Bold button instead of image, fixed it.  ;D ... love the bird feeders!  :-*

Clynn, {{{Dunrovin 1st chick!  :-*}}} ... DN eaglet looks like it's thinking "why did this happen and how to fix it and where do I start ???" ... awww, sweet young one getting fed by Iris. Both chicks look great!  ... what are you going to do with the Beads? Sell on Ebay? That will be a big job, but with Christmas coming, I can see a lot of buyers wanting them... I love Audible detective mysteries, WW11 books, and Westerns. I have over 600+ books on Audible, authors mainly from the UK, Westerns from US and now detective series from a Canadian author.. When you pick an audio book, listen to the sample first to check out the narrator. A bad narrator can ruin the best book! You love cats, Please listen to "The Cat Who" books with George Guidall as narrator. The Cat Who Books are about two Siamese cats Koko and Yum Yum! A good place to start this series would be The Cat Who knew a Cardinal." I have apple airpods now, I love them. I use one at a time, and both if I vacuum. LOL! .... very interesting history of the Fuller Building.

Tsk I agree "Risky shopping in the valley on Saturday"   :-\ ... I keep my eyes down and read a book when Mike drives in the valley.... I always breathe a sigh of relief when I see the "Welcome to Tonto National Forest" sign on Highway N87 (Beeline)! 🙏

Lisa, glad you made it through the BBQ  :-* ..... Buster and Edgar are perfect names for roof loving pups! Can't you hear the neighbors go "Oh look there's Buster and Edgar again!!" LOL!!

Well, I am not sure how much hotter Florida east coast is from Maryland or DC!  I have spent time out doors every day for a bit and found it enjoyable!  Think an ideal place to live is Asheville or the surrounding towns in  NC.  Seem to have fewer emergency times and cooler summer temps  and 4 seasons!  I truly should have gone back there from Springfield!  Lisa, you and Jeff should check it out!
Clynn, I have all of the Cat Who books and will send them to you, if you wast to read them instead of listen!  They are an easy and fast read and  they are  a delightful  read!

Good news on Iris, Finn and the babies!   Albies growing so big and I agree about the Norths!
Have  checked in on the Wisconsin nest several times!  I am surprised the chicks fledged already and think they are still being fed on the nest!  Recent views show one but squeeing is heard off camera
They appear to be bothered by bugs, lots of head shaking!   The problem with this nest is a lot of background noise from heavy sounding equipment, trains, etc! Also the cam is stationery and tgere is no commentary. For me, not. Good  viewing experience!
Stay cool!

Beautiful/perfect outside day; broke the 2 hour limit, more like 4.  Lots of branches broken off trees last night I guess.  It must have really blew hard.  tsk I checked the gauge, almost 2.5 inch mark.  Don't recall your reading exactly but I don't think it was that much up north.  There was a lot of clean up from yesterday.  Oh, and I must have devoted about half an hour watching a black swallowtail checking out my parsley.  I have both flat and curly parsley, it preferred the curly.

BAZI   Did someone buy your childhood home and then knock it down to build a new one?

KAREN   I've been in Ashville and agree it is a beautiful part of the state.

PUFF   I had only 1.5" for which I was grateful!  I collected the daily usual of about 15-20 tiny stemmed end branches from the maple that the cicadas nipped off and laid eggs in remaining branch.   For all practical purposes I think they are pretty much done.  5 of my first 6  monarchs  chrysalis have been released.  The last one maybe due tomorrow or the next day.  Now will wait for more eggs.  Have yet to see monarchs in my garden!!

herds.  He then ended up with the folks in the article.  Not much was said about the role of the dinkey!  Interesting and. Thanks for posting

predicted by NWS earlier today.

TSKpretty AM greeting today;  need a refresher on the butterfly cycle and all.

Lisa that's the prob with a garden party this time of year. Glad the food was delish. We had Pizza Supreme and mushroom/pepperoni pizza

TSK, yes. The first person who bought my childhood home did a beautiful job of updating it and making some more modern renovations, per my sisters, who saw it afterward. She sold it a few years ago to a builder who knocked down the house and all to a bare lot, and then built a rather undistinctive new one on spec, which did sell. I get that. In many instances, it's cheaper to build new from scratch than making extensive renovations and additions to some older homes, especially since the cost of extensively upgrading the "guts" to new plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems essentially means tearing out and rebuilding the walls anyway. This seems to be the trend with some older neighborhoods, particularly when the location makes even just the empty lot a sky high market value.

Lani, the Albie kids are getting so big, and I marvel at how pure white they are able to keep their feathers! Now the black feathers are peaking through! It seems like they are all doing well! 

Phyl, 'I still live with my parents', LOLOL!  I guess we would have to consider the North kids as 'homeless' street kids!  No, they would be pasture kids!  That Flatiron Building fascinates me! I watched a documentary about the building of the Empire State Building in 1930. It was built in just over 400 days, and without a lot of the construction equipment they have today. Yes, Bob will always be there!

karen, I have been to Ashville, mainly Biltmore! It seemed to be a very nice town, very artsy and historic. The weather sounds good! It's also very nice in Corvallis OR where Becky lives, but the cost of living in Oregon is outrageous! I would love 'the cat who...' books! I remember reading a couple of them decades ago...

tsk, yes, we need a little refresher from the 'Monarch Midwife' (you)! And some pics!

Lisa, isn't it funny how we didn't even notice the heat when we were kids! My sister Cathy and I would take our Barbie dolls and stuff out on the concrete patio to play when we lived near Phoenix, rather than stay inside with the cooler air! Don't ever remember complaining about the heat! Now we can't seem to tolerate it very well!  Must be the ageing factor...  :o

Good Morning!   Cute Boston Terrier last night Lani!    Do not see many of them these days!  Piper and I are up early today!   Ot this afternoon!  Washing bathroom rugs today and possiblt not much more!  Water plants  in pots!
78 now with 79% humidity. Yesterday it got to 103!  Higher than my neighbors in Florida!   When I was out with Piper in the afternoon I thought it felt a tad warm but attributed it to the fact that therevwas a lack of wind!   Thinking of Eagles and Kris on their Alaskan adventure!  Lol. Grateful for my 3 year old ac!  Possibility of rain, mid week!
Clynn, like your colored bikes and flowers!   I have seen kitchen towels and prints with that pattern on them and have always been attracted to that look!  Would like one!   Like Lisa’s morning pictures too!   You all do a nice job and I do not take the time to ☺️!

Morning Clynn

KAREN    A month ago when I found the first 6 eggs I went to look because Tim had seen a monarch in the garden.  I have yet to see any.  My friend ( who lives in my town) who raises monarchs and who has written a book, has not seen any either since the first ones in early May.  I look back on my records and notice that July and August were my busiest release months which means I have to have collected eggs by late June through early August.  It takes a month from egg to release.   WOW  you were warm yesterday  103!  You sure are a busy person.  :D

PHYL   LOLOL  "I still live with my parents"  ;D  Love the "fruit basket" and all the creative fruit munchkins  ;)    I would never have guessed about the whales and bats with the loudest noises.  that was interesting - Some of the tiniest creatures  :o :o

KB   LOLOL  " thanks for the rain...."  ;D ;D

CLYNN  My experience with Ashville was a trip with my friend - stayed in a B&B and used that city as our hub.  Took day trips away to all the waterfalls in the area and hiked and explored.  We never got to Biltmore!  It is such a beautiful area.   Agree about the heat.   Our home was not air conditioned. No ceiling fans either.  Cana't imagine how we slept at night.  If we wanted cool we went and played in the basement.  LOL

If I sound confused - I think so.  What is happening at Hatchery Nest Chat?

Because the nest was left by the eagles and because now even the use of it by the Canadian, most posting has been on NN, Beak, Decorah Eagles 2024.  Now another link/chat is being offered by Explorer.  Does this mean that the original signin at Decorah Chat will not be reopened if there is an occupancy in 2025?  We seem to have a plethora of duplicate channels to use?  Are the original/oldies but goodies being replaced?  Are multiple but similar opportunities being opened?

I now will have enough time today to tackle the front yard before the rain comes in.

OK Class a review of egg to release  ;) ;)

Monarchs arrive from Mexico.  Several should be flying around the garden.

  I collect milkweed leaves that have the tiniest white egg on the bottom of usually the top layer of leaves.  I put these in water and wait...maybe up to a week for that egg to become a tiny caterpillar.

  It grows and eats milkweed, molts 5 times ( sheds it's exoskeleton)

 and eventually goes to the top of the cage, hangs in a "j" position, and within a day will form a chrysalis.

  After about a week the green chrysalis turns "black" and you can see the monarch coloring.

 in a day or so, it will hatch and hang there to enlarge and dry itself out.

 After  a few hours it is released.  We like to have it climb on our finger and put it on the porch plants till it is ready to fly away.

Pics are first release this year, two that hatched at the same time and are drying, those two on my porch plant

them?  Do you think the extreme heat and lack of water in Mexico has influenced the migration?

Had to take Jeff for an eye appt at 9:15am, and we would made it back across the bridge before they are to shut it down to let the Dali go under.  They are stopping traffic both ways on bridge.  I'm guessing they don't want to take any chances that it might lose power again.   :-\

Here she comes...it's a beautiful day on the Bay!

Puff - What is happening at Hatchery Nest Chat?  The Decorah chat mods helped out at the Decorah North chat this season, since there was no eagle season.  They did have a few flash chats when the eagles and geese showed up.

📺 SLOTH TV
🦥Sloth Preschool Update:

NEW ARRIVALS
Bonnie, 2F sloth: Bonnie arrived to us alongside Clyde, both newborns brought to MINAE Guapiles office. Bonnie’s story is missing a lot of details and we do not have much to share other than she is as newborn as they come. We have noticed some irregularities on her x-rays so we will be closely monitoring her development but for now her behavior is indicating stable health. This little one has a reserved prognosis at this time.
Clyde, 2F sloth: Clyde arrived to us alongside Bonnie, both newborns brought to MINAE Guapiles office. Clyde was found alone, on the ground for 4 days before neighbors intervened. Good-intending locals tried feeding him cow’s milk before surrending him to MINAE, so he has had some digestive issues but so far has been stable. Still, due to his tiny size he has a reserved prognosis at this time.
TayTay, 2F sloth: Our neighbors in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica, found TayTay after her mother was tragically killed in a domestic dog attack. She had miraculously survived unscathed. She is stable aside from some mild digestive issues we have been treating. Still, she has a reserved prognosis at this time.

Waylon, 3F sloth: Waylon’s condition is steadily improving! He no longer needs daily nebulization treatments and his appetite is increasing. He has even started eating leaves like a big sloth! Despite his progress, Waylon still has a reserved prognosis due to his fragile state.
Wyatt, 2F sloth: Wyatt is doing great! He is healthy and recently hit his goal weight, so he will soon be graduating to Sloth Elementary!
Beanie, 2F sloth: Beanie is growing well and has begun transitioning onto the diet we provide our Sanctuary sloths. She is nearly ready to graduate to Sloth Elementary, but we want her fully transitioned to a captive diet before we move her.
Fiesta, 2F sloth: Despite some irregular bowel movements, Fiesta is doing well! She is stable and enjoys spending time with her Sloth Elementary classmates
Bruno, 2F sloth: Bruno is also officially out of the incubator at night! He is growing well and has been maintaining a healthy apetite. He is stable at this time.
Tulip, 2F sloth: Tulip is happy, healthy, and progressing quickly. At the rate she is growing, she will soon be ready to graduate to Sloth Elementary!
Nevada, 2F sloth: Nevada is sassy as ever and growing quickly. She has been maintaining regular bowel movements once again and eating well.
Pixie, 2F sloth: Pixie is growing fast! She is starting to develop a feisty attitude and we suspect she has been influenced by her big sister Nevada. We are proud of her progress, but she is still spending her nights in an incubator and remains with a reserved prognosis until she gets bigger.

🌳Sloth Elementary / High School Update:

Rose, 2F sloth: Rose is doing well, but has had some nasal secretions. Currently receiving preventative nebulization treatments until that has cleared up. She is otherwise healthy and active.
JJ, 2F sloth: JJ has had some nasal secretions but is otherwise healthy. He is receiving preventative nebulization treatments until this clears up. As one of our most needy juvenile sloths, we are working on getting him more independent from humans.
Mimi, 2F sloth: Mimi is doing great! She is healthy, active, and growing fast.
Moose, 2F sloth: Moose has hit a stagnant period in his weight gain. Due to this, we have delayed his weaning process to get him back on track with extra feedings. Otherwise he is stable and active.
Grover, 2F sloth: Grover’s nebulization treatments have suspended and he is doing much better. He is progressing well in his weaning process and spending days in an outdoor enclosure.
Phoenix, 2F sloth: Phoenix has been fully weaned off smoothie! He is spending longer periods of time in an outdoor enclosure, gaining independence, and maintaining a healthy appetite towards his leaves.
Binx, 2F sloth: Binx was weaned off smoothie! She is spending more time outside, but we are still working on her independence. In the meantime, she is sharing an enclosure with Phoenix until she is confident enough to be alone.

🎓Sloth University Update:

Marina, 3F sloth: Marina is gaining confidence and navigating the branches of her prerelease enclosure with ease. We are confident that this little lady will make a great release candidate in the near future!
Natalia, 3F sloth: Independent Natalia loves her large prerelease enclosure where she has all the fresh leaves she can eat. She will soon be ready for release!
Myrtle, 2F sloth: We have amazing news about Myrtle: her supportive treatments will end on Friday!! That means this growing girl is anemia-free and ready to continue her rehabilitation journey! For the next 1-2 months our amazing Release Site Vet will monitor her closely for any reappearance of anemia symptoms, and if all goes well, she will be next up for rewilding.
Ken, 2F sloth: Ken is doing great in a much larger enclosure! He is spending more time climbing and has been enjoying a varied diet of fresh leaves.
Roo, 2F sloth: Roo is making great progress! He is maintaining a healthy appetite and is more active than ever.

Waylon  :-*

Lisa. I hope Jeff's appt went well... WOW! The Dali is moving with same cargo again. Safe travels for them.  🙏



🥀In Loving Memory:  🙏  😢

Elmo, 2F sloth: We are all absolutely devastated to announce that our beloved Elmo has passed away. We observed nasal secretions and breathing issues late last week and immediately started him on nebulization treatments. Since his arrival, Elmo had lung issues and developed pneumonia several times before, especially as a baby. These repeated infections caused a chronic condition called lung fibrosis, which left his lungs weakened and scarred, and caused him to be more susceptible to infections. Sadly, this particular infection was too much for his already weakened lungs to overcome. He passed in his sleep three days after we began treatments. The quick progression of his illness and his subsequent passing has rocked our care staff; we are grieving along with you at this tragic news.

Sweet Elmo, rip little one, please say hello to Robin and Reggie   😢

KB  EEEK!  Time will tell weatherwise.

KAREN   1.  petunia   2.  If you mean the milkweed leaves?  I clip the leaf close to the stem.  Then I cut a slit on either side of the stem ( and the long way through the stem) so I have enough stem to put in a small plastic Ziplock container filled with water, with a hole cut in the top to keep the leaf alive.  3. Very seldom do I ever see a caterpillar make it to chrysalis on a leaf.  My niece watched one religiously on her milkweed for days.  Then it was gone!  It always makes me wonder how ever do they make it through the whole cycle in the wild.
Was talking to my butterfly friend and asked her the same question and we could only guess.

LISA  A switch to roses this AM  ;)  So where is the Dali going??  Smart move to have the bridge empty!!!  Never mind  I see Karen answered where the Dali was going.

LANI  Thanks for sloth update.  Oh must be so hard with those very new "newborns"  Bonnie and Clyde.  I love all the names  ;D

They had to leave the containers on the Dali so the ship sat low enough in the water to go under "Lisa's" bridge.
The ship would not clear the bridge height wise if it had no cargo on it apparently.   :o

Check the video out at about the 7 min mark, it's got a pretty tight overhead clearance.

According to Marine Traffic.com the Dali's ETA to Norfolk is 9:00 AM tomorrow morning.
I think it may get there sooner than that however.

Well, I went for my bone density today---the lower spine and hips as y'all know. Was there  for hours as  a glitch occurred and had several
retakes. That was an ordeal laying flat with  budging discs L4, 5, and 6 and S1.  Then the 6" titanium plate  between C3-6 didn't help breathing being flat on my back to image my hips.  With that huge block underneath my knees, pretty easy for spine. Any way she said Doc's NP should hear results sometime tomorrow as all the test today  have sailed right thru their readings .
Soooo, think I'm caught up for the day  :-\   



Tsk thank you so much for the  Class Monarch Butterfly 101 and 201 you/Tim are as dedicated to them as we are to our Bluebirds.

Lisa new  Rx  4/ Jeff's eyes, reminds me to set up exam for us; tks for update/photo on 'the bridge'; tks for explanation on Hatchery Nest  Chat and all. Glad to read The Dali is moving with same cargo again. Aerial  views are great

Lanithanks for the  Sloth School update/photos; nice tribute to  little Elmo; tks for the Brown Bear Update (will read later)

Tig tks for photos of your flower garden, they're pretty

Karen I hear ya 'loud and clear' on the flaura and fauna being at risk environmentally; so glad your keeping with  PT/OT

Hello Beakers

The latest news from Iceland is that the lava output has stopped, but there is a large molten lava lake, that is still moving downhill towards the power plant.

The Rapidan Dam - experts have determined that the river flow peak will be tonight - if the dam face itself would collapse, it would only be a rise of 2 feet in river height - so no additional flooding problems if that would happen.  The house that is getting undercut by the river is the home of the family that owns and runs the Dam Cafe - they have evacuated both home and cafe of everything of value.

My other half has most of the Cat Who series - but not the recipe book.  Another mystery author that also has a recipe book that goes with the stories is Diane Mott Davidson.  The lead character was a caterer.  Her last book was a collection of all the recipes contained in her books (2015). - We have tried several of them - very good.

Iowa's 2 largest rivers, Cedar and Des Moines, drainage starts in southern Minn. Both are forecast to have flooding issues all the way to the Mississippi River...  Here is a great website created by the Univ. of Iowa, as an aid for those living along Iowa's rivers.

click on any reporting station and it will show you the drainage area for that stream at that station.

We got 3.25 inches on Thursday - less than a 1/4 inch total since then.

Hello Beakers!  :)

It's late here... so I'm just trying to catch up on everyone's posts since Sunday afternoon, and I haven't gotten all the way through them yet. But I will. I'm just going to get in a quick post now while I can, though I haven't read everyone's posts yet.

TSK, I guess I'm now lost, too. I have a question about putting the leaf in the water... Do you have the leaf somehow standing upright, with only part of it in the water? Do you have it propped up somehow so the egg isn't wet? I'm just thinking that surely the part of the leaf with the egg on it can't be in the water all the time, and the caterpillar can't hatch while it's underwater, either... can it? I'm not understanding, obviously. LOL. But I'm just glad you can help their eggs hatch and then make it through those cycles to hopefully become healthy, releasable Monarch butterflies. They have so many challenges to their population! Thanks for helping them!  :-* :-*

((Lani)), poor sweet Elmo, rest in peace. And poor TRR and their staff and volunteers, who loved him and did so much to try to help him, and are grieving.  Thanks for the good news of the Brooks/Katmai bears starting to return.  :-* :-* Exciting they have a nesting Bald Eagle family to see on cam there now, too!

Clynn, thanks for the nest update shots. (((Iris and Finn and family)))  :-* :-*

Goodnight. There's such terrible and devastating flooding in many places, and scary destructive storms in so many places, plus the awful heat in many places, too. Take care, All. Peace. SED.

Kb, terrible about the dam being breached and the flooding. Prayers for the crew of the Dali and the tug boats. It's an amazing thing to see it moving along.

Oldguy, thanks for the update on the dam and flooding.... thanks for updates on Claire/cats. It looks like a smaller apartment... awesome discovery of the Sage Wall.

BL, Thanks for the video. Amazing aerial view of the Dali as it goes under the bridge and traveling along the bay.

Lisa, I've never seen videos of your bridge. How long takes it take to cross it?

Karen, glad you're able to continue your pt.

The MV Dali has reached the dock in Norfolk, VA at about 6:30 AM EDT and is being tied up now.

They will offload the cargo containers here at the Virginia International Gateway terminal.

When that is done it will be moved a little north to the Norfolk International Terminals for repairs to the bow.

I guess after that it's off to ports unknown and hopefully no more allisions with bridges.   ::)

High 91 today, but some rain starting tonight into tomorrow and a bit of a cool down for a week.  Busy morning, have to get some stuff put out for DAV to pick up and a perm at 10:000!

Lani, thanks for the update on the Brooks bears! A new season to watch them catch the salmon! Lots of little sloths at the TRR, sad about little Elmo. It has to be hard working with animal rescues, so much to overcome... 

baz, hello there!

oldguy, thanks for all the links, will get to them a bit later. Wow, you got a lot of rain! Went over the Des Moines River yesterday, it is totally full to the brim!

Phyl, hope it's all good news from your tests! Love the good night pic!

BL, thanks for the news on the Dali! So cool to see t go under Lisa's bridge! Still can't get over how huge it is!

PHYL  Dexa - no fun for you...Hope it all turns out OK.  When was your last one?   Cute AM fox and squirrel  ;D

OLDGUY   Diane Mott Davidson - am familiar with her as well.  Never got into the cookbooks  ;) ;)   Amazing info on tornado speeds.
You needed the rain.  Glad you got the 3+ inches.  We only had 1/4" from yesterday.  My bro in Milw is getting inundated with rain.
We may get more this AM until noon.  VERY windy here.  Will do many of your links for lunch time today  ;D

BAZI  A milkweed leaf is very big.  Only the stem is in  the water.  If the egg has been laid too close to the bottom of the leaf where the stem goes in the water, I don't use that leaf but cut the leaf area where the egg is and place it on another leaf.. I'll take more pics when I get more eggs

LANI   I thought that was something too to see those two tiny tugs alongside that huge ship.

CLYNN   That's the kind of woods hiking trail I like  :)   Nice photo of that Ponderosa pine.  :o  Enjoy that perm time today  ;D

The third generation of the exotic escapee goose family in Roger Williams Park is doing well. They are cousins, I think. The slightly larger one is about 2 and a half weeks older than its 3 younger relatives. The other adults were nearby – a total of 10. One missing. Hopefully still around.

This is in Providence, Rhode Island...I seem to remember this story way back?..

BL - thanks for the good news on the Dali!...I'm happy to hear they are unloading her too. I sure have wondered what was all in those crates and how the contents are doing/not doing?...LOL

Well, Our heat dome prevented the severe storms from entering the Twin Cities last night. Reed Timmer was in Northern MN...Bemidji area tracking a line which apparently didn't turn into a tornado.
Was fun just watching him from inside his crazy vehicle traveling along county roads with pine forests lining them....for miles!..they did get out to take pics of some stunningly beautiful skies with the sun setting and shelf clouds..twas gorgeous.
The "cap" was supposed to have been breaking down in the cities....apparently not..

tsk - In the video that BL posted in the beginning and around the 14.20 minute mark is my side of the bridge (Eastern Shore).  The part you see with the curve that is the Annapolis side (Western Shore).  Send me some rain!

Phyl - Hope the results are good with your bone density test.

oldguy - Wow, you got alot of rain!  Thanks for the videos.  Love D'yer Mak'er by the Q-Kids!

Lani - It is not very long, 4 miles from side to side.  On a good day, when it might take 10 minutes to cross, cause you know everyone is looking at all the boats, or taking pics!  When it is heavy traffic...ALOT longer!

clynn - Pretty morning pic. Have a good salon day!

Saw the BL's pic of the Chesapeake and thought "wait a sec".  Our closeby similar look would be the Mackinac Bridge.  I looked up the stats:  Chesapeake is about 4 miles long and 186 ft high.  Mac is 5 miles long and 155 ft high.

I think I would favor arriving at a small quaint village over the busy, loud Jersey city.  I haven't been up north for about 10 years though.

KB regarding the cargo on the Dali - In those containers are all the orders placed by shoppers months ago - They're still waiting for their merchandise to show up from FedX or Amazon.   ::)   I can only imagine.  Think there were any perishables??

Found the eggs tsk.  Thanks for the early morning learnin'.  I'm sure you'll keep us informed.

Big wind, big rain, ugly dark sky and surroundings.  Saw a neighbor (?) who dog walks a lot.  Dog was at a fast pace leading the way.  I just knew they were too late.  By the time I saw them, got down the darn stairs, and into the garage to open the door to call her in - they were too far away.  You know they got poured on.  Now they're saying up to 90 - I don't think so. . .  I'll check the gauge later; it's still dripping here.

LANI  TFT is younger and weighs more - What a porker!  ;D         Yes white specks are eggs.  Takes about a week for caterpillar for emerge.  I only know it is there if there is a hole in the leaf.  LOL  If I catch it I will try and take a picture.

Happy Anniversary Lil bro...

Humidity is low today but temps are high. Forecaster had the nerve to say that it would feel 10 degrees cooler today!!! Um. NO.

I spent an hour pruning and another hour picking service berries.
Enough for a hot day. 🔥

Reed Timmer decided to take team Dominator out for a little "ride" on Lake Bemidji! At least he got to enjoy our lakes...on the fast side for me, LOL
Storm chaser Redd Timmer that is

He added: 17 miles around along with the bald eagles and mosquitoes he describes as bird size.

https://x.com/ReedTimmerUSA/status/1805708346005082333

Still waiting for the landscaping job to be finished...excellent job....I'll lay out the 20 bags of mulch starting tomorrow, although the bags are placed already...fixed a step while at it...along with a yard of rock.

Tsk I must apologize for the European Bee-eater as it's interested in the Monarch. So sorry.
But, yes lots of excellent wildlife photographers 'out there'.

OG tks for the updates on the Rapidan Dam.   ;)

Karen tks for info on the containers---Sri Lanka, CDC medical waste   :o

Lisa  I'm gonna sneak a piece of Lilbro's & Janie's wed anniversary  cake.

Tig I just read that service berries are very good to eat and why one should eat them. Tks for the mention.



Good Night Everyone...    sleep well.

Post by: karengramke on June 25, 2024, 07:24:04 PM

I do not think it is all medical waste or even the majority!  That just struck me as interesting!  There are political things going on with this country.  I do not recall or begin to remember what I read but the Dutch were involved!  Not necessarily bad.  I think it may have to do with keeping this port open and in friendly hands!

((TSK)), LOL, I know what milkweed looks like.  ;) :D Everywhere I have lived, there have been many native species of it growing wild. I just didn't understand what you meant about putting the leaf in water, that's all. A picture is worth a thousand words.  ;D Thanks!  I hope you find more eggs this summer! The Monarchs thank you!!  :-*

Phyl, beautiful birds shown on Macaulay Library Best Photos for 2024... I'm amazed the cable nest is sturdy for a family of Spangled Drongo.

Kb, our girls have been on Lake Bemidji when they attended a girls summer camp nearby.

Tig, I've never heard of Service Berries. I learn something new in the Beak every day.... https://backyardforager.com/amelanchier-serviceberry-juneberry/

Oldguy, thanks for the dam update. Here's an update on the home right on the edge  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/losing-home-family-hopes-historic-cafes-survival-rapidan-dam-collapse-rcna158945

karen, thanks for info on the Dali containers and "some were labeled medical waste and CDC. Hopefully, the ones for Sri Lanka gets on it's way there.

Baz, the photo Tsk shared helped me understand the process too.

Tig,sorry to hear part of the home fell.  :(

Good night!

What bird is this?

What color is this bird? Scarlet? Carmine? Ruby-red? Keep guessing...this stunning aerial insectivore brightens up open country in the southwestern U.S. through much of Central and South America. Watch for them on low perches at the edges of wetlands or stream corridors in otherwise dry areas. The genus name, Pyrocephalus, translates to "fire-headed." Can you name this bird?

Phyl, I had no idea about the bird, so I googled it.  ::) ::) It's a very pretty bird, I have never seen one! Love your blue morning flowers!  And the blueberry pancakes! That picture you posted last night, looks like you with the Siamese cat!  Love those heels!  ;D

Lani, hope you and Mike are both well! Erin went on his first business trip, he left Monday afternoon and will be back this evening. It was only up to Minneapolis, but he was excited!  And a bit apprehensive! His manager thinks very highly of him, I think she assured him he would do fine. I had to smile...  Thanks for the Albie news, they are all doing so well!  A picture of Iris, Finn and the kids from late yesterday!

Hellgate - look at those crops!
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GQ_AvcfXgAAXdWV?format=jpg&name=large)

tsk, thanks from me too for the visual aids on the Monarch nursery! I would never have guesses that was an egg! We got a good soaking rain last night, Ed didn't have to water all the plants, he loves it when the rain does it for him!

The flooding in NE Iowa is horrific, I cannot imagine! Same general area of the Rapidan Dam, a lot of flooding going on in that area! The streets of Rock Valley, IA are filled with people's belongings.    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/massive-cleanup-effort-begins-after-historic-flood-in-iowa/ss-BB1oRfk3?ocid=BingNewsSerp&cvid=43edca6915d64a6897d9573a5988690d&ei=8#image=2

I need to get busy, a few things to do before I go pick up Talon and Bella! BBL with my adult beverage in hand!  :(

I stopped to check on Hellgate, Iris is feeding the chicks and she is so good at making sure the little one gets his share! You can actually see their crops growing! A joy to watch! And Finn on the perch, all Daddy-like!

Wow, a mother tiger and 3 of her cubs...India...

Oldguy and Lani - thanks for the additional videos about the Rapidan Dam, loved listening to the Public Works engineer explain things and very sad to lose that historic house...

A fairly dry day today, yah!, as my driveway is being sealed. As I won't leave my vehicle parked in the street I won't have access to it for 24-48 hours..I've prepared for that.

Yes, Ollie man, I will take you on that walk soon...dew points are much lower today.

Then I have 23 bags of mulch to start laying out...

Good Morning!  Did not realize  the family was home from Branson so soon!   Congratulateons to Erin and wishing for a successful trip!  When he is home, I need him to  come to valdosta!  I have been having problems with the ipad which created an issue with aol!  Los t my email and had trouble getting it back as I had to use the ao store!  The ap store would not acknowledge my password!  Changed it and got in and now will not accept the new one or give me an option to create a new one!   Will just forget it for the time Being!
Lisa, Jeff would love it here today!  Currently low 80’s  with a humidity of 90%!   Hopefully  as the sun moves into the nineties the humidity will burn off!   Possible rain Friday and Saturday!
Floods are the worst disasters to clean up!   In most cased there is no insurance coverage which makes it difficult!

Pt and ot will probably stop next week!   They only go so long!  I am doing well with pt!  Hate ot!    Have some kind of aversion to ot!    We wil see!  Hen it stops it will be up to me  to continue!

For some reason my AM post today got 'messed up. And the  larger graphic  at the top didn't appear. So I've correct it and that
should show.

CLynn what a compliment...I'm no Kim Novak though. That's promo shoot for the  1958 film 'Bell, Book and Candle' (one of my fave
movies)
Luv the faerie in your greeting this AM. Congrats to Erin and I'm sure he'll do fine at the meeting in Minnie /safe return home.

Tsk your fruit cup is nice---must pass on the melon though.

The link below the bird picture is the link that provides the
answer and  it's details on the Cornell Lab web site. I get their emails and often open them in my browser--why link is so long I guess.


Karen  :)   hope all the PT/OT pay off for you soon.  My PCP has me set up with Star Physical Therapy for some on site sessions.
Sounds like it's  gonna be a real  body   'tune up'.  :o

Phyl, yummy looking blueberry pancakes.... Very pretty bird.

Clynn, Safe travels and good wishes for Erin on his first business trip.  :) ... we're fine, I'm still working on fire wising. During these warm/humid days I've been working on it slowly. Another week of work left to go, another trip to the town dump with bags of clippings, leaves, etc. We should get our property inspection appointment anytime now. The photos on Hellgate chats have been so heartwarming. Love your pic, yesterday, Iris left the nest to take a dip in the river, while dad Finn proudly watched his family from the perch. Both chicks were napping... I love when the rain waters for me too! LOL Ed!  ;D .... oh, terrible and sad pic of flooding victim's home.. :(..... Have a good day with the munchkins. Say Hi to Kelsey!!!  ;D

Kb, beautiful Tiger family. Good luck with driveway sealing.

Karen, Can you take the ipad to Apple and have them help you? Or an online Apple Tech? I've forgotten what is "ot"?

DN18 makes it way over to the branch and reaches over and Dad begins to offer bites of fish - just like old times! Mr North still loves being a Dad & feeding his eaglets!

Mr North finishes the feeding even giving the prized fish tail to 18 :) WTG Dad!

I also included coverage from June 20th with DN18 claiming a fish on the grass from DNF ♥ DN18 does a huge mantle & carries it proudly in its beak and begins to eat it. A red-winged blackbird sees DN18 in its territory and begins its attack - swooping down and striking DN18 while 18 was eating. This little bird made itself into quite the pest but DN18 was undeterred  and continued to eat the fish. When finished, DN18 joined DN17 on the stump and we have some nice closeups of them. Mom and Dad were together close by in another tree keeping watch on their offspring! Thank you for watching!

TSK... One plant might be plenty? I think they propagate by sending shoots up from the ground. After they flower in the Spring, we lightly cover with netting to keep birds out. After they fruit in late June, we remove the netting and I prune them back to about 5.5 feet... otherwise, they can grow to 20 feet and are unmanageable (can't get to the fruit).
Tips... don't cover tightly, especially during a rainy year, because earwigs love to hide under the leaves. I spread the fruit on a cookie sheet to inspect and then pop it into the freezer overnight and then pkg.

Oh No!....how bout getting about 10 come alongs with 10 pick ups and pull the store up hill?....LOL
Something.

Just dropped 8 bags of mulch with weeding from neighbor's yard through my fence along the way. Took over 2 hours..the rest of the 15 won't be quite as difficult. I might pay for that 2 hours, LOL...Meanwhile, driveway is done and Ollie man will only be able to go potty out back or a day...you'll survive Ollie. We did get that nice walk in this am.

What's with peeps parking in front of my house, sometimes for hours, to visit across the street?.I have a handicapped no parking sign....no respect for laws anymore...they have an entire block of curbline parking.

Somehow, I knew you would say this quickly....that's between my Doctor and myself, my son, and my previous husband. And the city I live in. I paid for it....btw.
Our city allows it if ANYONE is handicapped in the house, and all 3 of us are.
I have had 9 surgeries.
I don't have the money you do apparently and am required to do things.
Most people applaud me besides my handicaps, which you have no idea of...btw.
All 3 of us are handicapped.
Should I not share what I do?...or the Karen's will respond?

BTW you seemed to have missed my point: People here routinely ignore the law and have no fear. Maybe doesn't happen where you live. It does here.

Hellgate kids want for nothing with those two "helicopter" parents  LOLOL  I can't tell you how excited I am when it rains and I don't have to water all the pots..LOL   That photo post flooding says it all.  What a shame.  Have a good munchkin day.

KAREN  Agree - walk away from the problem for a while - Often surprising results upon return to it  ;) ;)

Just have to say:

How proud I am of myself for taking such good care of my beloved property and Chris and my dog, all by myself. Especially today after seeing the results of some help.

BTW, I have gotten little help since Scott died almost 4 years ago except for the first year or so. Typical by my understanding.

I ice/heat, lidoderm patch, and pain cream on my shoulder every single day to deal with it, but nonetheless somehow I have managed to keep this property in pretty good shape.

Thanks all. I'm proud of myself esp. with days of deep depression....nonetheless, keep one foot in front of the other no matter what.

Phyl, I had never heard that there was a white eagle originally in the running, I didn't think there was a white eagle unless it was an albino!  I am sure glad they chose the Bald Eagle! Those North kids, now they have another view of the nest to gaze upon! Thanks for Amy's Blog! All critters are looking good, even the turkey vulture bits! And again, a thought of willi hit me...  I so remember those 45 record adaptors, you either had to have several of those or an attachment for your record player!

baz, one would think that with all the technology they could improve breast cancer screening! I always feel like they know the exact point at which you are about to scream, and then it stops. I wish you peace...beautiful.

karen, you are doing very well with the P/T!  Keep it up! My Mom has not been getting out as much, us girls have chatted about it. When I talked to her yesterday she had been to Fairfield (15 miles away, they have a Walmart there and her doctor is there) to get some groceries and visit Linda at the hospital. And she is one that can spend an hour in a store and not buy anything... When Becky/Jennifer were there earlier this year they got her one of these (below). She tested it out and she was able to get it in and out of the car easily (weighs 11 lbs). She didn't use it at Walmart, the shopping cart is fine, but she used it when she went to the hospital to visit her sister who is in rehab. (Aunt Linda fell and broke her leg...). She needs one of these too!

Lisa, it's a recipe Ed's mother gave me when I asked her 'what can I make with over-ripe bananas besides Banana bread'?  She was a Home Ec teacher before she became a counselor. She was a wonderful cook! Banana Oatmeal Cookies. Ed said he entered them at the State Fair one year and won first Prize. Sorry it's so messy, it has been used for almost 40 years! Let me know if you can't read some of it. Note: I add about 1/2 C more flour, I add floured plumped raisins and I lower the oven temp to 390. Check at 10 minutes. (this may be my oven, so adjust as needed.)

Puffin Nesting Habits

Ama is already almost 2 weeks old! Pufflings will be cared for by their parents in the burrow for around 6 weeks, or 40 days, before taking flight in the dead of the night. This means that Ama’s expected fledge date will be around July 22-23!

In the meantime, we can admire Willie and Millie’s amazing burrow defense skills! During this time, there are a lot of wandering puffins who are exploring potential burrows for upcoming nesting seasons. If you’re the puffin parents already occupying the burrow, defending becomes an even bigger challenge because of your little chick inside.

You can see an intruder puffin poke its head in. After the classic "no-no" head shakes to ward the stranger off, Millie then leaped at the entrance to scare it away! Millie was very on guard today, accidentally attacking Willie as well, who was busy bringing back fish for Ama.

Millie shows off her burrow defense skills! Photo: explore.org

Hi Beakers!  :)

Clynn, I'm sorry about your aunt breaking her leg and being in the hospital! I hope she recovers quickly and completely. I bet you Mom will like having that walker, especially for shopping. Pics of the kids are great - they're having another fun day at Granma's! Those cookies sound divine. When cool, are they soft, chewy, or a bit "crisp?" What happens if you don't add that extra flour that you do? I might have to break down and try making some. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Lisa, let me know if you make those cookies.

Lani, Millie is "on it!" Poor Willie... he says, "Good Lord, woman, it's me! And I brought home dinner for our Ama!" LOL! They are great protecters and providers!!  :-* :-*


A thunderstorm is cranking up pretty good right now, so I'm going to log off and unplug my PC. I'm hoping we get a bunch of rain from it though - we are way below our normal amount of rain for the month, and for the year  - in the very dry category, officially, but on the verge of the drought category - as of a few days ago... might have moved into the drought category in the last couple of days, since there's been no rain. So far, I'm sparing my neighborhood of witnessing my rain dance.  8)

Everyone have a Good Night. Peace. SED.

tsk, it was just a couple of weeks ago that my Aunt Linda fell! She is the youngest of the three and is (was) on the go a lot, she would take Mom or the other sister, Aunt June, to their Dr. appointments! June isn't doing well either, the doctor thinks she has Long Covid, and then her back started bothering her. She was always the working Farmer's Wife. Lots of physical labor. Her husband passed away a year ago in February. She still tries to keep the place up, mowing and all. Linda is also a Farmer's Wife, but Uncle Jack worked for FS and kept the farm going, planting and raising livestock. So, Linda was much better off financially and didn't have to help with the actual farming (they had a farm hand). Her husband, Uncle Jack, died in a tractor accident in 2013. And my Dad passed in 2018, wo they are all widows. I'm sure, more than you wanted to know!  Lillian Vernon! I had forgotten about her catalog! So fun to look through!

baz, the cookies are crisp around the edges until you put them in a container. Then they are softies! If you don't add the extra flour they spread more. Nothing wrong with that, but I don't like them running together.

The Banana Oatmeal Cookies!

Lani, I love seeing a Puffin parent with a mouthful of those little fishies! Millie was really on the defensive! Por Willie! But I am sure he got over it and Ama enjoyer her meal! I didn't know about the head shaking to warn intruders!

Hellgate - 13:37, 6/27   Finnegan has taken the leftovers and Iris is tidying up the nest.....and Younger takes advantage of that for a few more bites    #HellgateOsprey
Just exactly what Lani said, Iris feeds the Elder until he passes out in a food coma, and then takes care of the Younger!

NATIONAL PAUL BUNYAN DAY | June 28


On June 28, we fondly remember the tales of the big blue ox and a mighty lumberjack. It is National Paul Bunyan Day! Described as a giant and a lumberjack of unusual skill, Paul Bunyan is one of the most famous North American folklore heroes.

#NationalPaulBunyanDay
First appearing in print in 1906, in a story published by Northern Michigan journalist James MacGillivray, Bunyan’s character originated in folktales circulated among lumberjacks in the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada. One account states that the tales began during the Papineau Rebellion of 1837. In 1914, William Laughhead reworked the stories for a logging company’s advertising campaign. The campaign breathed new life into the growing legendary character of Paul Bunyan. It was the 1922 edition of Laughead’s tales that inspired many others and soon the character's plaid shirt and far-fetched characteristics spread across all of the United States and Canada.
Many cities in the north-central section of the United States, claim the title as the official home of Paul Bunyan. So much so, they have giant Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox statues that pay tribute to the folklore hero. Towns host a variety of annual events that center around Paul Bunyan.

Paul Bunyan Festivals in the U.S.
Every year the town of Oscoda, MI hosts the Paul Bunyan Days Annual Festival in September.
Paul Bunyan Logging Show is also held in St. Maries, Idaho, in September.
Paul Bunyan Fest takes place in Eagle River, Wisconsin, in June.

Cane Ridge Bluebirds, Cane Ridge, Tennessee June 2024

Thursday, June 27, 2024     about  6:15am

Went downstairs to the kitchen for a cup of that wonderful black hot liquid---coffee.
And, was greeted by Dad Bluebird and two of his chicks perched on the back of Jim's chair looking thru
the glass doors into the house.
(Another great moment not captured by me! If only I'd brought the iPhone with me.---duh!)

They stayed for a while until I walked closer to the glass. Poof! The 'kids' were gone.
Dad remained just for a few seconds and took flight himself.

I am flabbergasted --gobsmacked that our wildlife communicates and interacts with me----reaches out to us.
Jim and I are making every effort  learning  how to 'read'  these birds.
This adventure never gets old and is always full of surprises.

Phyl, you are with your Bluebirds as Lesley is with her Blue Jays... on the same wave!  They love seeing you and Jim, they know how you care for them!  I checked out the Lillian Vernon catalog! There was also Fingerhut, I always thought the name was silly! Paul Bunyon, a name we learned in early childhood...

Lori, love the birthday wishes for jpalm! Hope you and Destini are surviving the storms!

Happy Heavenly Birthday jpalmken!

Lani, I will be checking on my Aunties when Kelsey and I make our annual trip next month. We are leaving on July 13th, returning on the 21st. I know we will spend a day going down to very Southern Illinois, Mom loves driving around down there. Kelsey has agreed to ride the Ferry across the Ohio River to Kentucky! She would not do it last year! She will probably try to back out again!  ;D

Wow!...photographer writes: Somewhere in Southern MN....a whooping crane: One of the rarest birds in North America. Only about 800 remain in the wild. Great catch, Ricky Roman.

Rained most of the night and more to come later on. A bit of a break right now so may be able to grab that walk with you Ollie.

Nonetheless....flooding is everywhere near any river or lake that is....Mississippi now cresting Sunday, not Saturday as earlier predicted...

Paul Bunyan and the Blue Ox were visited by most Minnesota children decades ago. I know we saw him in Brainerd MN.

Legend has it that Minnesota's 10,000 lakes (we all know there are more than that1) were created by Paul Bunyan's footprints filling with water as he explored our state..

Yes, thanks Lisa....we have lots of critters heading for high ground from the river bottoms, including my neighborhood. Deer in our urban lots for example, and coyotes.

Clynn, thanks for the extra cookie tips. I am not very good at baking breads/cookies/cakes/pastries, and the like, so I don't do it very often - almost never. But those banana/oatmeal cookies look and sound like something I would like a lot! Maybe I could manage making them without completely botching it! You and Kelsey will have fun sharing a new adventure for her by taking that ferry river crossing - "floating" from one state to another!  :D

Thanks, ((Lani)).  :-*  Zippo and I wholeheartily agree with you, though we are a bit verklempt in our remembrance of Horst/EagleDuck.  :'(  Zippo sends air beak kiss-kisses to Maxi, and hopes she was able to re-home successfully and healthily.  :-* :-*

((Lori)), thanks for the great remembrance post of Horst with that great picture of his beloved Maxi.  :-* :-*



Zippo has attached a throwback remembrance of sending Horst/EagleDuck/ED birthday wishes 9 years ago, on 6/28/2015.

Pool. A Quiet Place movie. New to us pizza place... where I had a small artichoke, tomato, green olive, spinach, and of course, cheese, pizza. Yum! Brought some home. That 16 oz. Hamm's was a lot to drink! Hmmm. My tummy must be shrinking...

On Patrol Live, a quick sleep, then up at 4 to watch Le Tour... before laundry day.

I guess, maybe once a month, we could try it again... as our favorite place of 50 years closed. It is not inexpensive, however.

I have been making homemade with ready made pizza crust or whole grain pita bread

CLynn  Safe travels for you and Kelsey next month to see  you aunties.  The Ohio R.---after WW2  dad worked on a tug boat ...Larry and Dan were born in KY, etc.  Before moving to California in '53.    Tks for DNN and Hellgate photos.   Oh my word!  Those doggy noses in fence holes---how funny!  From yesterday...passing out in a 'food coma'... ;D
Oh yeah...Fingerhut name...comes from the surname of brothers who founded the company in 1948, William and Manny Fingerhut. The name is a metonymic occupational name for a tailor, and comes from the Middle High German word vingerhuot and the Yiddish word fingerhut, which both mean "thimble" or "finger hat".

Tsk my bluebirds,  as with anything I commit to is a...'way of life'.   :)

I wondered...and found this:

The Rapidan Dam store was demolished. The city worked out a deal to buy the property, giving the family time to remove memorabilia from it, before they demolished it on purpose. Protecting structures etc. downstream if it had been lost to the river.

https://www.fox9.com/weather/dam-store-demolished-from-rapidan-dam-riverbank

Was the "go to store" with lots of memories for many people.

Lani, love that doggie good night pic! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!

Phyl, it's funny how some names came to be, sometimes you wonder! When we were living in Duluth back in the late 60s I remember Cathy and I were looking up words in the phonebook, so see if anyone actually had those names. We found Rabbi Wolfgang Hamburger in the phonebook, we laughed and laughed and still bring it up today! At work I ran across a loan, the man's name was Wendell Stiff, his wife's name was Lovette Stiff.  ::) Love the baby Bluebirds!

oldguy, we have had some good rain here but you have had a lot! Thanks for Matu and Claire's cats and the Clark Family with the cousing, the little guy in the front was getting into it!  Cards tonight? Wishing you luck!!

baz, one thing about those cookies, even if they look bad they taste so good!

Lori, I don't think jpalm minded getting some extra birthday greetings!

Cuddles have the remarkable ability to repair a broken heart.

That’s now a scientific fact.

A new study has revealed fascinating research showing that the power of physical affection can provide significant emotional healing. So, if you’re feeling down or heartbroken, a warm embrace might be just what you need.

The Daily Mail reports, “Researchers from Michigan State University found the ‘love hormone’ oxytocin, released during times of physical intimacy such as cuddling, kissing or sex, can stimulate the growth of new, healthy heart cells.

Initial studies in zebrafish, which have the remarkable ability to regrow damaged heart tissue, found they experience a 20-fold increase in oxytocin following a heart injury which stimulates the growth of specialised cells that migrate to the heart.”

According to their press release: Now, researchers from Michigan State University show that in zebrafish and human cell cultures, oxytocin has yet another, unsuspected, function: it stimulates stem cells derived from the heart’s outer layer (epicardium) to migrate into its middle layer (myocardium) and there develop into cardiomyocytes, muscle cells that generate heart contractions. This discovery could one day be used to promote the regeneration of the human heart after a heart attack. The results are published in Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology.

“Here we show that oxytocin, a neuropeptide also known as the love hormone, is capable of activating heart repair mechanisms in injured hearts in zebrafish and human cell cultures, opening the door to potential new therapies for heart regeneration in humans,” said Dr Aitor Aguirre, an assistant professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering of Michigan State University, and the study’s senior author.

Stem-like cells can replenish cardiomyocytes

Cardiomyocetes typically die off in great numbers after a heart attack. Because they are highly specialized cells, they can’t replenish themselves. But previous studies have shown that a subset of cells in the epicardium can undergo reprogramming to become stem-like cells, called Epicardium-derived Progenitor Cells (EpiPCs), which can regenerate not only cardiomyocytes, but also other types of heart cells.

“Think of the EpiPCs as the stonemasons that repaired cathedrals in Europe in the Middle Ages,” explained Aguirre.

Zebrafish could teach us how to regenerate hearts more efficiently

Enter the zebrafish: famous for their extraordinary capacity for regenerating organs, including the brain, retina, internal organs, bone, and skin. They don’t suffer heart attacks, but its many predators are happy to take a bite out of any organ, including the heart – so zebrafish can regrow their heart when as much as a quarter of it has been lost. This is done partly by proliferation of cardiomyocytes, but also by EpiPCs. But how do the EpiPCs of zebrafish repair the heart so efficiently? And can we find a ‘magic bullet’ in zebrafish that could artificially boost the production of EpiPCs in humans?

Yes, and this ‘magic bullet’ appears to be oxytocin, argue the authors.

To reach this conclusion, the authors found that in zebrafish, within three days after cryoinjury – injury due to freezing – to the heart, the expression of the messenger RNA for oxytocin increases up to 20-fold in the brain. They further showed that this oxytocin then travels to the zebrafish epicardium and binds to the oxytocin receptor, triggering a molecular cascade that stimulates local cells to expand and develop into EpiPCs. These new EpiPCs then migrate to the zebrafish myocardium to develop into cardiomyocytes, blood vessels, and other important heart cells, to replace those which had been lost.”

LISA   Awww  such cute kitties enjoying breakfast in bed.  :)

Off with 4 others to set up an apt for a Congolese refugee family of 4 due to move in tomorrow.  This is through a agency- Exodus World Services -that assists settlement agencies.  Our group provides everything a starter living place should have from dishes to tooth paste.  ( about $800-900 worth)  Another group will provide all the ethnic foods they will need for a week.  The settlement group furnishes it.
Just another thing I got myself into...sigh  It will be 91 degrees!!  Second floor.  We have another Afghan family of 4 to do on Tues.

BAZI   Thanks for the heads up on Wimbledon!!  Guess you will need to see your boyfriend in Paris  ;) ;)

TIG   Picking up a pizza as I was not home to cook and ribs I planned took an extra step Tim wouldn't be able to do.  Ribs on tap for tomorrow  tho  LOL

PHYL   LOL  when you dream about work!!

Previous to this " welcome to the neighborhood" packet, our church did at Advent the "baby packet" for newborns and pregnant Moms of refugees.  The parish came through and we had enough to deliver to 6 refugee families through this same Exodus agency
Well today was not as planned as the workers were no where being finished getting the apt ready.   - Can't go into it all but all we could do was get all the items up 21 steps ( I'm a counter  LOL)  and clean 1 portion of the filthy floor to set all the items on.  No furniture, no water, broken cabinets - a nightmare.  So our stay wasn't as long as it was supposed to be.  Sure hope they will delay that family moving in!!!

Tig, "Larry Lust!" LOL!!

Tsk, I like to create my pizza like you and Tim. .. Wendell Stiff the Undertaker! Good one LOL!! .. Bless you {{{Tsk}}} and your group for aiding Congolese refugee family and others. I just read your update, I hope they can find temp home for the family until the other one is prepared and ready.

Puff, interesting research, something to think about, thank you.   :)

Kb, at Tonto Town Dump we pay by the weight of items. I did 160 lbs worth of work in 12 - 51 gal. bags.  :o I filled a trash bin with debri and have 12 more bags to take to the dump/recycle... It rained this afternoon, so I couldn't go back out and do a couple more hours. Tomorrow.  ;)

Lisa, sweet morning pic...

Baz, thanks for Wimbledon info, sorry about your boyfriend, but what a great doubles team!

SED Karen and Piper, I don't know what a cutie is, but I bet it was delicious!  ;D

karen, I never see you this early!  I was going to say what a cutie was, we have Cuties and Halos here, I couldn't imagine that Piper would like to eat them though! I think they are very similar to tangerines but I think they are actually Mandarin oranges.  I have also seen a Dr. Payne somewhere!

Lani, I will take all the Brussels Sprouts...Yum! We finally ordered one of the Compost It! containers that our city offers, it is a big wheeled bin same size as our trash and recycle bins. Now Ed doesn't have to fight with the big paper bags. Is that what you have for your yard trash? Glad you got some rain, the yard work will still be there.

tsk, oh my, someone should have warned you ladies that the place for the refugees was a mess!  A cleaning crew should have made quick work of it! I imagine the family will be very disappointed. I just cannot imagine having to leave your home forever and go to a far away place. I would not have made a good pioneer either. You Church Ladies sure do some good work!

Phyl, Bob and Harley could be twins! Love that little cat video! We laughed more about Mr. Stiff's wife's name, Lovette Stiff...

baz, another good day of watching tennis today?

KAREN/LANI   Rest assured, refugee families who have entered the US  - and these folks have been here since early May!- are put up in hotels/motels or stay with friends/family until a place is found for them.   Confusing why there was such a rush on this one.

LANI   You have to pay to dump the required firewise cleanup??? WOW  I cannot believe how much you collect and get rid of.  Are all lots as "wooded" as yours?

KAREN  Did not know about hurricane Beryl. Will tune in.  I love Cuties  :)   

CLYNN   Same here.  We have a wheeled recycle bin, trash bin and "yard waste" bin.  So much easier that wrestling with the paper bags.   Yes, We agree that the Exodus agency was somewhat at fault here - don't think it happens often but some miscommunication occurred.  The volunteers  who work for this agency are saints in my mind.  I could never do it.  Helping out once in a while is about all I can do.  There is so much that they do.  https://exodusworldservice.org/    WOW  what a crop is right  :o :o

PHYL  Love that colorful morning angel  :)  Love the 3 funnies  ;D ;D ;D   What an interesting story about gender in cardinals.  Knew nothing about that phenomena.

Lani - Thank you, and a sweet good night pic from you!  You aren't a brussel sprouts fan?  Jeff grills them every day. I do not know how is not sick of them.

tsk - What a good job you all do, but sad that the workers did not have the apartment move in ready for you all to finish setting up. Your morning breakfast looks delish!

Phyl - LOL...when you dream about work!  Love your colorful angel pic this morning.

clynn - Holy crop on the young one!  :D  The Cuties and Halo's are like a tangerine, but I think the Cutie's are a lil more sour tasting then the Halo's. Those croissants...yummy!

I buy cuties or Halos, which ever are in stock!   Phyl, I thought peaches  are fuzzy and nectarines, smooth?  Have Jim check produce.  I am sure they must have them.  Sold in mesh bags.as a rule, or crates.

Karen re-read my post nectarines are 'fuzzless'  peaches  . Or smooth as you would say. Correct is 'fuzzless'. It's a  God made tweak in their DNA that makes them 'fuzzless' and sweeter and more nutritious. I eat them like one does apples.  One nectarine daily
really does keep the doctor away. 
Blueberries are the only other fruit healthier . We get "Halos' mandarins when in season. Same with nectarines

Tsk your breakfast look yummy. Gonna have that as a sandwich this AM

LISA  Tim could eat Brussel sprouts every day!! Found this as I didn't know the difference as we sometimes have both offered in a season.       "Cuties, technically considered mandarins or clementines, are the perfect kid-sized, seedless snack. Halos are too, although they are a little larger and slightly more acidic. Tangerines are a very sweet and very close cousin to clementine, and tangelos are a hybrid of tangerines and pomelos.May 16, 2022 "

LORI  Glad there is enough for all of us on that lemonade strawberry sheet cake. ;D ;D

Such a gorgeous day today.  Finished about an hour + in the gardens.  Phew - needed some deadheading and weeding.
The birds have gone through 2 suet feeders in one day!!!  We are not putting seed in the feeders as I DO NOT want to encourage any deer.  Just took off the cheesecloth covering on my black eyed susans and two tomato plants.  Checked this AM - All OK  flowers still in place.

{{{Tsk}}} I have no doubt the refugee family is in loving care. The Exodus World Service is a wonderful org..... Our HOA changed it's Firewise service dates two years ago. Spring cleanup is 10 days with pickup in mid-March, Fall pick up is 10 days in mid-Sept.. You have to use their trash bags and brush/tree debri is cut to their specified length.You cannot place bags prior to starting date or they will not be picked up.  The trees in our area do not lose their leaves until May. I do what I can in those 10 days for the HOA pickup (which is part of our HOA fees). That's why I decided to order an extra trash bin to help me the rest of the year. Our community is in a national forest and it has restrictions. Everyone has trees and brush. Some pay for landscapers to take care of their lot once a month. It's a $175-250 monthly service we do not want to pay. So I do it while I physically can, If it's too heavy we hire someone. Other homeowners have the HOA take care of their lot. They are willing to pay $2000 for the yearly service.... Yesterday's trip to the town dump/recycle brush area for the 160 lbs of debri they charged us $7.50. If we were able to hire someone to take it for me it would be $100. No one is available to do small jobs, it's hard to find a handyman now. They travel to the valley or Flagstaff to make good money.

Phyl, love your cartoon posts. LOL! .... beautiful morning angel... I remember this wonderful article on the Rare Half-male, Half female Cardinal. Thank you for sharing... YAY another person I know that does not like cabbage. That's me too! I'll have it twice a year maybe?. In a slaw or reuben sandwich... hated the smell of cooked cabbage when I was a kid and it stayed with me.  :-X

Karen, We have Halos here, I'll check for cuties too.... Dr. I. Hurt LOL! ;D

Clynn, pretty Sunday pics.... We ordered an extra wheelie trash bin from our trash service. It's the same as our regular wheelie trash bin, we do not have a recycle service here in Payson. You can take your recycles to a couple of large trash containers set up for recycles here in town. WM or Roadrunner which we use and they do not offer recycle service like they do in the valley. Because we are two hours away from either Flagstaff or the valley. I can put whatever I want in the extra bin, mainly I use it for my landscape debri.... awww good crops on the Elder and Younger  :-*

Lisa, no brussel sprouts for me. Aly loves them. When we lived in Kansas cold pickled brussel sprouts was available in restaurants. Now I loved that! ... good for Jeff, strong tummy. :-X

Lori, love your birthday greeting for Peep, especially the cake! YUM!  :-*

Puff, are you talking about the fires in North Scottsdale, east of Carefree and west of Rio Verde. Terrible fire, we have friends that live in both areas. And it's near homes on Desert Mountain.. ...  :'(

Hello Beakers

Did some research on 'Cuties' and 'Halos'...  The names are trademarks by 2 different companies - both use the same citrus, tangerine and clementine (which are sub-members of the murcott mandarin orange - Citrus reticulata).  The difference between tangerine and clementine is the time of year that they are ripe.  Both companies harvest in Florida and both use the same tangerine/clementine fruit, but are grown in different counties of Florida.  Location can effect taste, just like grapes - because of soil and weather conditions.

There are many veggies that I will not eat - including broccoli, cauliflower but cabbage and spinach I like raw.   Onion, only cooked.... ::)

No cards last night - we had  a large family meal at our favorite Mexican restaurant to celebrate 2 birthdays in the family.

Great day today weather wise - high of 74 and sunny - next rain is not until Tuesday early morning.

The latest info on Beryl   -   https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?start#contents
current track keeps it away from the US

I don't know if anyone on here has kept in touch with Peepspy, to know if she still reads the forum.  But job situation, does not look good for her - Stellantis announced that they are moving engineering and manufacturing out of the US.

Lori - The Strawberry Lemonade Sheet Cake looks cool and refreshing!

karen - Jeff could eat off the grill every day, me - I need a break sometimes.

Phyl - The frozen Brussels are more of a favorite of mine then the fresh.   I like to boil them till they are soft, then drain and add some butter, S & P, and garlic powder to them.

tsk - Why did you cover your  black eyed susan's and two tomato plants?  Was something eating them?

Lani - Pickled Brussel sprouts, interesting!  I loved pickled okra, especially the spicy kind!
Yikes, now I see why you do your own firewising and clean-up!

oldguy - That is interesting about the cuties and halo.  Never thought about the soil affecting the taste.

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

I like every kind of orange, tangerine, mandarin, clementine, etc., I have ever been able to try. Yum! We have those "Cuties" and "Halos" in most of the grocery stores around here, when they're in season.

I wasn't sure about the difference between tangerines vs. Mandarin oranges, so I had to do a quick google/look-up, Wow! I didn't know what I found out about them!

But here's their specific info re. Tangerines, Mandarins, and Clementines, etc. :

https://veritablevegetable.com/tangerines-clementines-mandarins-whats-the-difference/

Interesting!!   :D

It's part of the Veritable Vegetable's blog, at their website, with more good info about categories of fruits and veggies at:
https://veritablevegetable.com/blog/



Clynn, I haven't been watching any tennis yet. Wimbledon starts tomorrow, and I will be watching some matches starting tomorrow. Qualifying rounds are being played this weekend, but I don't watch any of those. Aww... thanks for the great cam shots from Decorah North and Hellgate. They are all looking great!!   :-* :-*

Tig, I don't watch Le Tour anymore. Armstrong, and many others, ruined it for me. Coco Gauff plays her 1st round Wimbledon match tomorrow, on Center Court, estimated time around 11:45 AM, Eastern time. Maybe you can set your DVR to record so you can get some sleep. I think it's on ESPN, but check to be sure.

((Lani)), you are working sooo hard!! I hope you use some of the major money you saved by doing it yourself, and at least treat yourself to a Spa Day!! My town's dump works much the same way as yours. At mine, the price per pound depends on the type of material being dumped.

Lisa, Jeff eats a lot of Brussels sprouts! He's a Grill Master! I eat them often, but not every day. LOL.

(((TSK))), you do good stuff!!  :-* :)

Karen, I would never have guessed that Piper would eat citrus fruit! Is there any food Piper doesn't like?

Lori, that strawberry and lemon concoction looks and sounds divine!

My Rx for (((Puff))) today... HUGS!  :-*  Pass 'em around! :D  I know you do!!  ;) :D



Waving to All the Beakers! Stay cool!!

Tired... Spent an hour on yard werk and another hour harvesting fruit. Great weather... 68 and low humidity!
I guess we have it good here .. we take our yard waste to the county site... for free.

New refuge company last year, maybe two years.  Given two trash containers, one for recycle, one for regular land fill.  And, since I'm ancient, a reduced rate.  Monthly fee for 3 months - $31.50.  I'm also allowed one big size whatever per week, no charge for most.  Haven't been charged for anything yet.  Last week it was my wounded patio storm door.  They do yard waste for free May to November if in a paper waste yard bag.  City crew does a tree waste drive for free 3 times a year, with size/weight restrictions.  (Also emergency collections when we have a severe storm event.)  No complaints at all on my end.  Listening some of y'all rules makes makes me grateful.  Plus, I think I mentioned this before, I get extra service because my guy once noticed me rolling the empty container back up the drive with my friend Stick.  Now the two containers get chauffeured back up to the garage door.  Much appreciated, noticed.  Forgot, new company is LRS.

LANI  What a sweetie greeting us this AM  ;D   Wow, thanks for that thorough explanation.  Can get pretty pricey to get the job done by someone else.  I would probably do the same until I could no longer...You sure are saving a lot!

OLDGUY   Thanks for the extended explanation of today's topic LOL  ;) ;)  Cards anytime - B-day parties once a year!!   Beryl is pretty far south.  Hope it calms down some or those islands are in for some big time trouble.   Thanks for info on Peeps possible loss of a job.
You have a good memory!   Miri is quite the climber  ;D

LISA    Yes 2 years ago the deer ate all the blossoms on our tomato plants.  Last year we moved the location of the plants and were OK  But this year I decided to cover them just to be sure.  They also love black eyed susans before the flower buds appear - They just eat the growing plant to the ground  :P :P  So I covered them - One bunch anyway - and it worked.  They have eaten some hosta as well but that doesn't bother me as I have a lot of it LOL

BAZI   Thanks for your additional info on the topic of the day  ;D ;D  Mandarins are the major category - good to know.  I love the clementine variety of a mandarin.  I think I've said that right  LOL

TIG  I'm reading Erik Larson's new one - "The Demon of Unrest" Fascinating " how did the Civil War actually begin"

PUFF    If you put anything out to the curb - the night before,  the scavengers come around with their truck and grab up metals and other items like that which they can get paid to recycle before the regular garbage/recycle trucks come.. 

Is T40 still out there???

A last word on the topic of the day, though e first harvested , marketed and trademarked  of these fruits were Cuties!  As I was reading, this morning, it appears there might have been a business divorcee and  hence a new company was formed and the name halo coined and patented! The  other point made is that these fruits  are not oranges!  All citrus but that is where it ends!  Lol

Interesting trash stories!

Seds!   Oh, Piper  has never refused any food although there are things she cannot have!  Eats dry kibble with gusto as well!    Lori, thanks for  remembering my  sweet sassy!   Piper is an interesting  girl!   Pets to .destiny!

Lani your canine gent is one dapper  looking fella;  many thanks for the fire map, a valuable piece of resource material; the only way I'll eat cabbage is as Bavarian Sauerkraut on a Reuben or on a
bratwurst in a bun w/ Grey Poupon Dijon mustard smeared on the bun and some munster on top.

OG how nice---family gettogether at a fave Mexican restaurant  ;)

{{{TIG}}} Tom Selleck's memoir-bet that's interesting

Puff just got our bill from Waste Management--$109 3 mos.  and no reduction in rate for Seniors. WM has the entire refuse business

Lisa, I love spicy pickled Okra it's the only way I'll eat it. My late MIL loved cooking okra, but it was slimy.  :-X

Oldguy, that's interesting about the difference between Cutie and Halo.... {{{Maru, Hana and Miri}}} ... thanks for update on Beryl.

Baz, thanks for the link to the various fruit. I see Cara Cara orange on there, and it is absolutely delicious. I wish they would be available more often... love the cool dog... thanks for the Beryl update... Wimbledon is finally here.

Tig, Tom Selleck ;D

Tsk, I just read an excerpt of the book. I think Mike might like it too.

Puff, When we lived in Scottsdale, if we put out our green recycle bin, overnight there were trucks going through the neighborhood ready to go through the bins before pickup.

I have been following the talks on citrus.  Lani My vote too for Cara Cara.  Only eat them when in season.  Two must haves - orange and banana daily.  But I flow with the season.  Right now there are some delicious nectarines on the table.  Not a fan of the tiny oranges.  They are good, but the prices, even on sale, are not attractive. 

A reminder I believe I mentioned a few months back. . .local Jewel produce manager gave me the dope on bananas and plastic.  Whenever I leave the store my bananas for the week +  are cozy wrapped in their plastic produce bags.  Tried a couple "tricks" on keeping them ripe, not brown or soft  or cold. The very best from this daily banana fan - I grab an extra plastic bag and put it in purse just to keep my nanas.  Just don't lay the bag in the sun, take out some of the air, make certain the top of the bunch is definitely enclosed.  Holds in some kind of gas.  I buy up to 10 at a time, especially when on special $.

Notice when they're stocking bins that they are shipped to stores in plastic bag inside the boxes! ?
Another cute discovery is that some stores have little chef hats individually on the top of each bananas   ::).  High priced too - just saying high end groceries.

Puff, I will have to try your banana tip! I usually buy 3 at a time because I cannot stand them too ripe!  I have never seen the little chef hats on the tops! I googled banana hats and OMGosh, it is a big thing!

Phyl, it's July, half of 2024 is gone! We had a beautiful day yesterday, and another one today! Hi 71! Rain tonight and on into tomorrow and tomorrow night. And back to the 80s. We also have WM here!  We pay $32 per month for the trash/recycle bins, and $125 per year for the yard waste bin. So about the same as yours.  Love the Decorah North video! The kids are so cute playing and chasing each other! So sweet, the little bird landing next to one of them and the puzzled look! And the feeding on the nest remains, a joy to watch!

Lani, another cuddly doggie picture! When we had open tubs to put the recycling in they would sort the stuff onto the truck that had bins for glass, cardboard, cans, etc. If there wasn't a place for it on the truck, it was left in the tub. They would also leave boxes that weren't flattened. Now there is a big closed container, who knows what some people put in there!

I'm guessing that I didn't mention the banana hats before, first feedback from beakers.  Looked up goggle to find what else there was that I didn't know.   The crochet/knit patterns are really cute.  I just called them chef hats because that's what I saw at Magianos (local).  My Jewel doesn't do anything.  I just got the word from the produce manager who learned it from working at the market in Chgo.  He did even tell me it was because of escaping gases.  I normally just buy bananas - now I pull off a bigger plastic bar from the roll, put them in the bag, and leave it on the counter.  One thing tsk when I do my selection I always opt for some ready to eat, some greenish, some in between. 

BTW  When this fellow told me his story I thought he was pulling my strings, or just spreading an old wife's tale.  Son-of-a-gun it worked!  Next time I ran in to him again - I raved to him that it really worked; talked so loud that others started paying attention to our talking.  Got some more converts.

Sad story - I had no bananas left today.  Busy outside and then too smelly and tired.  Tomorrow I go to the store!!!!!!

Puff, good tips .... Safeway wraps saran wrap around the tops of a bunch of bananas... We leave it on. Mike has a banana every day. So we get 5 at a time.

Oldguy, I bet Claire's cats miss the enclosed outside patio

Clynn, never seen banana hats, just the tops wrapped with saran wrap.... Dad Finn bringing home the fish... sweet night pic of DN kids.

As predicted, it did rain last night....wish I'd gotten some Grubex down on the lawn. Didn't, but I have multiple chances this week due to more rain coming.

Just going to clean the grill, walk Ollie, and drive Dennis and Vi to an appointment today.

Phyl, fireworks have never excited me, I don't know why...maybe because I have always worried about the animals....  But it is interesting how it all started! It has been raining for a few hours now, supposed to stop for a while and then start again. It was actually chilly here yesterday, only got to 67! The geese families are looking good!

Lani, hopefully the Younger at Hellgate just got poked in the eye and will be fine! The family waking up this morning! They are getting breakfast right now, it's raining and Finn is on the perch guarding!Love this family!

Per serving: 2 tablespoons is 25 gm of carbohydrates...0 fat
If you go back and click on my picture, it should show you amazon's pic with an ability to zoom in on the back side label.

Dennis and Vi are doing fine. Medically, Dennis had a minor surgery to correct a urinary issue and that was long in the making so he feels much better...during the next door house explosion he was still wearing a catheter making the whole scenario even that much worse.

I'm just taking them to an opthalmology appt. Vi has never driven. They are both 87 years old and doing well considering...both very lucid but the parking lot where they are going is always full. They tend to check out an area around an appt in advance and told me because the doc is in a strip mall, they were sure they couldn't find a parking spot when they checked. I'll just drop them off, come home, and wait for a call to pick them up.

Just the basement foundation exists on the lot next door. Surrounded by orange fencing per city code. Not safe on the street side as the fencing has collapsed to 1 foot. Someone comes to mow though regularly and they always have at least 2 vehicles parked in the driveway, usually pick up trucks. I will catch up on any progress if they want to talk about it. If not, I'll find out when I sees it, LOL..
In the winter that basement will fill up with snow and make it dangerous for any adventurous kiddos or loose pets, so I hope they figure something else out.

kb - Anytime I can save on water bill, I am ecstatic!  Yum, on the salted caramel sauce!

karen - I did do the transmission and brake fluid flush, too.  They recommended it last time and I declined, so figured best to get done this time traveling so far alone.

tsk - LOL, on the slimy okra.  Cute morning greeting. 

Phyl - Fried okra is my favorite, so no slime, well...maybe when you are cutting it up to prep for frying. Cute figurines!

Lani - Awww, Little One...maybe they got some fish juice in it.  Hope it gets better.

Of course lots of peeps will pour it over vanilla ice cream. We find it perfect for dipping fruit into..Try it!

CLynn In no way am I in favor of fireworks.     It's been my understanding that most areas are prohibited from displaying---unless in a local, state or federal organized function in a public area.   My concern is for the wildlife and domestic animals; the loud booms sound much like gunshot. And, can be deafening to both animals and humans.
 Even though we live in suburb/rural area  where fireworks are prohibited because of the closeness and vegetation ie retention pond and a strip of 'forest' along the creek below; we have neighbors who buy the stuff and set it off from
June28th until July 6th from dusk to 1am.

I just posted the bit of historical fact that is interesting. A lot for the present can be learned from studying history when the world was much different for the better or  for the  worst.


Tsk  The July 4th images are only for the few days up to American Independence ( from British colonial rule) Day , July 4th ;  Summery greeting this AM

Lisa your AM greeting reminds me of Autumn.

CLynn tks for Hellgate and DNN updates/photos; most interesting the  Canadian grocery store with a roof top garden and hive. And, it's all
organic, local and very fresh !  ;)

Hi Lisa ;D

Phyl, cute 4th of July decorations and the history of celebrating with fireworks! I can understand that feeling of celebration during that historical moment in our country's history. I'm so proud and honored too.....I was 8 years old, and I remember and can still hear the fireworks that rumbled through the island when Hawaii became a state. It was an exciting time for us and yet, there was questions amongst the native Hawaiians about what that really meant. But the feelings of comradery after the war was fresh and strong...  That celebration went on for days.  .... Hellgate Ospreys chicks are adorable, prayers for little Younger's left eye... all is well with our furry boys, and Miss Sadie too.... The geese looks settled in for the long term...  ;D

Clynn, little Younger's left eye has been closed for awhile, and it is today. Everyone is keeping close watch.... what a great rooftop garden, fantastic idea.

Kb, gorgeous morning pic... have a good day, and helping Vi and Dennis. I hope they are both well.

Tsk, I hope Barb/Tom's winter home will be fine, as well as other homes in Beryl's path. I wonder if any of the rain will head towards AZ or New Mexico.

CLYNN  Was just about ready to go out for a walk on this cool cloudy AM but got a phone call. When done 30 min later we are now having some light rain.   We will be on and off through the 4th.   Love that roof garden in Canada.

KB  Thanks - Not too bad 1.5 or so carbs.  His snacks should be less than 1 carb and less than 100 cal.  Now me on the other hand  LOLOL   Maybe Vi and Dennis should get a handicapped parking card from the doc?  Maybe at this late stage - too much work.  Your helping seems to be the best option.

LISA   My daisys are in full bloom!!

LANI   Looks like some cuddles going on in the sloth playground  ;) ;)

Post by: kbshcb on July 02, 2024, 11:47:54 AM

tsk - I've thought the same about Dennis and Vi...not hard to have a doc, they have many, send a form in to the state.

However, at the mall we are going to today, even the handicapped spots will be taken. A better idea would have been to get a 9am appt. My guess is if there was one open they would have?

The mall is the Galleria mall in Edina...very very fancy/upscale..Many fun shops/restaurants and always decorated for all of the Holidays....only 1/2 mile or so away.

WOW Lani Once again you started the juices/remembrances again.  Many times I'm sure you got the feeling that history of our country has taken over a lot of my brain cells.  Just your Hawaiian background and knowledge I'd love to talk to you all the time.  Today you mentioned experience when Hawaii became part of the #1 nation in the world - what a joy that must have been.  I've many times mentioned 49 and 50 states.  I was 15 in 1959 when they were admitted, and all the excitement started me in finding out all or as much as possible about the country I was born into.  Was not able by half a year to vote for JFK but starting spending a whole lot of time with government, politics, running things.  Sadly I didn't get the opportunity and neither did he for a second term.  But I was hooked - my first deep research was on Barbara Jordan.  Musts every day would be the Tribune and Fox News.  Get an overall roundup of both Chicago news sides.  Yep been interested and groomed since 1969 Nixon.  Voted Dem and GOP, but always tried/try to get my facts straight and thorough.  I've been voting ever since 1969.  I will continue to honor those who gave this to me.

But I've found out some of the most interesting things.  I'm now at 23 countries I've visited.  Just love talking to people in the countries.  Thank God they're not as narrow minded as I and they can speak my language.  I shamefully admit to not being fluent in other countries' language.  Never met a destainful comment from others.  They ask for tidbits about my country, our country. 

I found out some unintended facts with my crazy way of thinking.  I.E. I know I've mentioned before I don't do movies.  I just tried to think what the last movie was.  Even on a flight - I read not watch.  One movie I do recall was Titantic.  Loved the music and the fervor conveyed by those trying to get here.  But then it turned me on to research and reading two followup related books.  A study was written up about the design of function of such a big ship.  They were even concerned it would/could possibly float.  Cruising now is done on ships of  6,000 psgrs and 4 times bigger.  Broke a couple important design rules.  Lots of stats, specifics, and diagrams. 

Second reading I did had to do with the crew and captain.  Neither had the knowledge or training needed.  I found the captain to be the least qualified person to run it.  It was a position given to recognize his time given and as a send off because he was retiring.  And, even then, and because of our legal system, great emphasis was stressed to get legal matters and fault finding done here because of our extensive and knowledgeable population. Very interesting read.

Anyway - this got longer than intended.  I'm obviously still involved gaining more knowledge and opinions.  But more than that, with the celebration of our country coming up in a couple days we need to appreciate what was given to us.  Perfect it's not - perfect none of us are - but we have the best damn creation ever  entrusted to a people.  I don't know that I've earned the best.  Can we demand perfect if we're not perfect.  Let's work at keeping it the best.  Let's give thanks and prayers, and work very hard in giving nothing but our best.   

HUGS - AT LEAST 48 FOURTH OF JULY HUGS OF THANKS.

TSK, I'm not sure what you're referencing to get 1.5 grams of carbs for that salted caramel sauce - maybe that's the amount you estimate if you just barely dip one bite of banana in it? LOL. It's tasty stuff for sure, so a one-bite dip would never do for me.  ;) ;D

It has 51 grams of carbs (45 grams of sugar), and 220 calories, in what its nutrition info calls 1 serving, which is 4 TBS. Though I see the label on the back of the bottle lists 1 serving as half that - 2 TBS, with 25 grams of carbs (22 grams of sugar), and 100 calories.

Here is where I enlarged and captured the nutrition and bottle's label info:
https://us.amazon.com/365-Everyday-Value-Organic-Caramel/dp/B074HCSTJG

I attached a screen shot of the nutrition info as listed, and also a screen shot of the nutrition label on the back of the bottle. They're attached below - just click to enlarge them.

Lisa, it feels good to have your car ready for a trip! I got the transmission fluch when I got my oil changed before I went to Mom's in April. I think women are an easy mark for those things. I watch the guy come out to two other women while I was there, showing the results of all they tests they did and what your car needed. Those services are not cheap either!

PUFF  Thanks for your post.  We can never be more grateful for the county we live in despite it's many issues.

BAZI  My error once again. I meant to say about 1 1/2 carb in 2 TBS  ( 15g sugar=1carb)  Thanks for the labeling info.

CLYNN  We just turned out A/C back on as it was 80 in the house.  Nice breeze tho. I sat on the patio a bit after watering the pots.
Hard to tell but younger's eye is still closed?   I have to quit this job - seriously?  LOL

Set up of apt much easier and went well today.  Nice apt and clean - Few things didn't work - like window blinds and 1 drawer was broken but not our problem..Also a broken wooden chair.

Royal Albatross ~ TF Leaves His Nest Paddle Walks To Base Of Hill To Garden! Sleeps Off Nest 7.1.24

Jul 2, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
TF is on the move!! He gets up to do some gardening and slowly paddle walks towards the base of the hill. He does some gardening along the way and then stands up to look down over his nest and at his neighbor TFT 😊Back down a few steps and then back up! TF will eventually walk down and to the right and lay down on a totally new spot and not his nest. TF ends up staying here and sleeping! A big NZ storm comes in overnight and he stays in this spot the following day and only returning to his nest late at night on the following day! What an independent explorer TF is! Thank you for watching!

No kidding!...I could barely move the last 3-4 days but had to do some stuff anyway. This morning I woke up feeling much better, not perfect, but close enough.

Even more importantly, my neighbors left last night for 3 weeks!....PEACE on the holiday and going forward.

Hi Beakers...
been busy this AM making Southern potatoes salad, Deviled eggs stuffed celery ahead of Susan, Sam and Danny's arrival for July4th .
They'll be in town later tonight hold up in a hotel as they brought Susan's aging collie  as opposed to leaving him
at home or in board.
And, be at the house for a BBQ of hot dogs and hamburgers. We'll provide the meats, buns,  condiments, deviled eggs, etc., dessert.
Susan will bring  her homemade cole slaw,  and their beverages.

We've pulled out our fave July4th theme moves among them is 'The Patriot', 'Air Force One', 'Clear and Present Danger' and mom and
dad's selection of John Wayne WW2 movies.  Susan , Sam and Danny haven't seem these so ...

That sums up our day tomorrow.

Jim off at 1pm today. He'll run a couple of errands for me . And, be home ...shower and tall ice tea...feet up in his Lazy Boy ...

From  Facebook:

Black Eagle Project Roodekrans is at Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden South Africa.
  · Johannesburg, South Africa  ·

Once again, Makatsa(female) and Mahlori (male)provided us with a wonderful display of Aerobatics which absolutely "wowed" the Visitors to the Botanical Gardens yesterday. Everyone stood in awe as we witnessed the display above the Waterfall. Fortunately, Naomi had her camera ready and snapped away. As usual the Crows were hassling the Eagles and there were occasions when we thought the Eagles were going to catch one or two Crows to stop their nonsense. We were also fortunate to see the chick, now 39 days old, still a little shy, spending it's time deep on the Nest. Naomi Corinaldi, one of our regular Monitors, took these photos which we have shared with you.

Black Eagles of Roodekrans
Jul 2, 2024 10:17 AM

Quote from: Phyl on July 03, 2024, 01:05:00 AM

Introduction
The Black Eagle is a fairly common resident and one of the most thoroughly researched eagles in Southern Africa. This magnificent species gets its scientific name from the 18th century naturalist Jules Verreaux, hence “Aquila verreauxii”. Black Eagles are found at sea level from the Cape Province to the Drakensberg in Natal, to the Soutpansberg in the Northern Province and far beyond into the rock hills of southern Zimbabwe, Motobos Hills, where Cecil John Rhodes was laid to rest. The Motobos Hills is the home of the densest population of black eagles, this is the area where Val Gargett did her wondrous study of +/- 60 breeding pairs and wrote “The Black Eagle – A Study” well worth a read if you are passionate about raptors, especially black eagles.

Although, Black Eagles pair for life, they will replace their companion. In the Roodekrans scenario the female, Emoyeni replaced her mate 3 times after 2 of them disappeared. Eagle pairs spend approximately 95% of the daytime together, before nest refurbishment; this is a behavioural characteristic of black eagles. They will perch, fly and hunt together, should the female fly to the nest site the male will follow and usually hops onto the surrounding rocks. After eggs are laid and when there is a young chick on the nest paired black eagles spend very little time together. During nest building 77% of their time is spent together but this decreases dramatically to 6% during incubation. As the young eaglet grows the time spent together by black eagle.

Howdy Beakers!

(((Karen)))

Phyl, your gathering for the 4th sounds like a good time with good food. Glad Jim gets off early today and y'all can enjoy some relaxing time.

KB, those American Canada Geese look like they decided to split the difference between Canada Day and Independence Day! Or else they say Every Day is worthy of strutting in their own parade formation!!  ;)

Lani, TF was adventurous! Glad he made it back to the nest though! You should take a getaway to the ocean! Use some of those dollars you saved from doing all that property clean-up and firewise work yourself! It's better than going for a therapy session!! Glad Aly and Dewey will be visiting soon. Let the fun times roll!

Clynn, you and I are only a year apart in age, but your grandmother is only 9 years older than my mother, who would turn 99 yrs old this year if she were living. Did I miss a return-from-Alaska post from E4E? I was trying to remember when she and Kris were due back. Maybe she posted in some other venue.

TSK, glad that apt set-up went much more smoothly. I am getting ready to sit down and watch today's Wimbledon matches, which will be over for the day before long, but I have them recording on DVR. You gave me some "early results."  ;)

BL, carry on and enjoy!

Oldguy, I'm still thinking about Mexican food, after reading your post about your large family birthday dinner at your fav Mexican restaurant. Mmmm!

Lisa, that boat ride brunch will be fun! Fingers crossed for good weather while you're there. Is Jeff planning a big throwdown on the backyard grill for The 4th? I can almost smell it already!

Waving to Tig and Puff and E4E and ALL the Beakers!

LISA  What day is the boat cruise - Used to be Sunday??

PHYL   How great is that to see Sam and Dan.  Who does Susan belong to? plus collie. Great time planned.  Beautiful black eagles in flight.  Peek a boo in the cliff nest :)   Thanks for the backround info on them.  Surprised by the lack of togetherness after incubation.

BAZI  I too was wondering about Eagles  I've forgotten the return date.  Sorry about the spoiler alert - Now you can watch without getting nervous. LOL  Beach is always a good prescription  :D

Come help us celebrate eagles, falcons, and our community with four days of fun! We'll have a hike at Effigy Mounds, bicycling and (river conditions permitting) kayaking in Decorah, appearances by River Valley Raptors and bald eagle ambassador Mr. Decorah, a pizza party, a fancy catered dinner, and a brunch cruise on the Mississippi River. You can meet other eagle fans, hang out with us, and enjoy everything that Decorah has to offer!  Here's a link to register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/after-the-fledge-2024-registration-939529567227

Me too BAZ.... I don't get to watch recorded tennis until later...
That's ok TSK... Just don't do it again. Kidding! Lol.

Yes, E4E and hubby are back safe.

I harvested berries and mowed the front before deciding that was enough for one day. Camper will pick up the groceries and mow the back after supper... Bourbon chicken sausages, classic cheddar pierogi and salad.

Busy day yesterday!  Had a visit from the ot supervisor and  I was discharged from further visits. Do need yo continue the exercises!  Yea!  After she left eft, the help and I set up two new metal bird baths.  One is in the front one replaces a very old one the was falling down,.  The new ones  are on spikes that go into the ground..   the  one in back has a solar activated spray in it that  the 
advertisers  say is liked by hummers!

Lani. It will be wonderful to have a visit from Aly and Dewey!   E joy!
Clynn, love your colorful  morning vase!  Just gorgeous!
Lisa , you will enjoy the boat brunch and sights along the shore !
Phyl, an old dog and  an old cat should get along fine! Sleep the time away!   How is Susan managing the  cole
 slaw?  Big cooler! Is this Dan, your   Brother, Dan?

This am, had a visit  from the pt supervisor!  He agreed to extending my ot for another 4 weeks and said  he thinks my insurance will pay for  visits to a facility.  If i  improve enough I may go tgere!  Current therapist subs at thus current agency but actually works for
my ortho  doctor!  I could go there!
Moved a tree branch  that fell last night, got the mail in and  tried to wash yard junk off my screendoor.  May try again tomorrow.
Have a good evening!   Eagles, soon as you get your  land  legs  let us hear about your cruise! 

tell us about your cruise!

CLynn colorful swirls on the apple; tks for update on Hellgate and DNN---they grow super fast once out of the 'womb'   ;)

Tsk Susan is Jim's younger sister, Sam is her hubby, a tenured prof at LSU, Danny is Jim's baby brother, who's has
a mild stroke and lives on his own w/ assistance. Susan's, dog will stay in the hotel  room. They will bring a small ice chest. I'm the ony one that
doesnt' like cole slaw---I lost the toss.  ;D   Dan is my #2 older brother.  Enjoy the BBQ

Karen too much stress for Maggie---she'll stay up here in my chair sleeping; pets to Piper
So glad you got D/C from PT visits and got the OT visits worked  out

Lani tks for the Royal update and snaps lots of progress; i Aly/Dewey for the 4th, how nice  :)

Lisa a river cruise? We did a few on the Cumberland R. that runs thru Nashville, the old paddle wheel. Wonderful at night standing on the bow .

Baz  I'm relieved that you 'symptoms' warrant a visit to the beach.  ;)

Tulsa all that sounds like some fun, tks for sharing

Tig tks for news on  E4E/Kris  ;)



I lost my walking buddy last week  :(

Those Canadian geese  ;D


Prayers on going for those in  Hurricane  Beryl's path

The United States of America is the greatest human and political experiment on Earth.
Our country is the only prophesied , God ordained  of it's kind in this world.

Today, I am especially reminded,  on September 17, 1787 at the Constitutional Convention, Philadelphia, after Benjamin Franklin delivered his speech- Elizabeth Willing Powel posed this  question to him: "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
Mr. Franklin's response “A republic, if you can keep it.”

God bless our republic.
Let no one ever forget the sacrifice, blood, tears and
determination  it took to bring  life into this wonderful nation we  call 'home'.

Phyl, great morning pics for today's celebration of our nation! I also hope we can keep our Republic... We are at 70 now, high 83 and some rain today. Thanks for the info on the Dans, that had me confused too! BTW, how is your brother Danny?

karen, you are doing great, soon you will be out there mowing the lawn! Four more weeks of P/T will be good, especially if you can go to their place! Do fireworks bother Piper?

OG, funny pony video! Glad you are going to the ATF, I am sure it's a good time even if there are no eagles right there!

baz, my Mom graduated high school at 16 (1951), married that year and I was born 11 months later, Mom was 17! Her Mom was 18 when she was born. I was 39 when we adopted Erin, 41 when we adopted Kelsey. So Ed and I are old enough to be their Grandparents! One of my High School friends has an uncle that is a year younger than her!  Funny, I had the same symptoms, got the same prescription as you. The BEACH! 

Almost forgot, yesterday we went to the Blue Zoo!  https://desmoines.bluezoo.us/video-tour/.

Enjoy your day with family.

Interesting to read Erik Larson's new book Demon of Unrest at this particular time  - I'm past half way.  " What exactly led to the beginning of the Civil War" and all the detail about the gradual succession of the states one by one and all just before Lincoln became president. Pretty scary time.   So much more history than how we learned it in school.

{{{Kb}}} good for you, now, you, Chris and Ollie man can enjoy the day.... beautiful ABE pic and a bit of James Taylor to celebrate the day!

Tig, a great race, Congrats to Sir Cavendish (love the name  ;D) ... yummy supper.

Tsk, Mike's home, but will be leaving for Houston on Monday. He hasn't travelled to the valley since he returned home from Ohio and became ill. So, off he goes again for a couple of days in Texas.

Lisa, yes, it's the winter season for the Albies.... Sounds like great ATF plans for all of you!  ;D

Oldguy, looking forward to your ATF pics.. thanks for videos.. the pony. LOL!

Phyl, what great 4th of July plans you have, lots of delicious goodies, family and surrounded by your Bluebirds.  ;D... Thank you for the Black Eagle update, gorgeous baby! Sometimes I can't believe where they decide to build their nest. EEK!... Just read your 4th of July post, God Bless America!  :-*

Baz, what we save on the firewising will go towards repairs from last year's bees nest in the house siding and deck planks that need replacing. I posted in my Tuesday night post Eagles4 and Kris arrived home safely and had a fun trip. She's probably busy catching up at home after being gone for 11 days. I'd love to be at the beach right now, the salty, moist air of the Pacific sounds like a bit of heaven for my soul.

Tulsa, thank you for the info!  :)

Karen, you are doing great!! Glad you have 4 more weeks of PT. I'm so happy for you, you've worked hard to get to where you're at today! You and Piper have a lovely 4th.  :-*

BL, what a awesome and special morning you and Piper will have today. Enjoy your day.

Clynn, beautiful 4th pics.... love seeing Younger's left eye open! I always check in Hellgate before I go to bed, and saw the text of his eye. This year the cam mods have been keeping close watch on the nest 24/7... it's been great coverage.... great pics of the Munchkins at the Blue Zoo. Love Miss Bella's dress... . What a special zoo/aquarium, I wish we had one nearby....

Lisa, we're having a quiet 4th, Shannon will bring her dog Kona at 6 for dinner and then return to Mesa at midnight. They want to avoid the fireworks in the valley. We're under fire restrictions up here. Sparklers will be allowed. You and Jeff have a lovely day too, enjoy the grilled Brussel sprouts. LOL!  ;D

We are having hot dogs too!...just with onion and on brioche buns....adding Lunds/Byerly's home made potato salad. Everyone loves their potato salad. Same company, different name, but the Byerly's PS is preferred in my house. Different recipe. The one we like is yellower.....don't ask why!
Side of bananas and caramel dip.

Tis the day for burgers, brats, and hot dogs.

The flyover!...old military planes. 4 of them..in my pic I only got 2.....waiting for better pics from community members and to identify the planes. Of course from inside my locked up home I heard them and went running out.

They left in a hurry, but the parade did occur....incoming thunderstorms...

Happy 4th, Beakers!


(https://www.yourtango.com/sites/default/files/2022/4th-of-july-meme-dog_0.png)  :-* :-* :-*



I hope it's been a good day for all!  Zippo and I took it easy at home - watched some tennis, did some nature watching outside with binocs, and enjoyed a couple of yummy treats for late lunch/early supper. Watching the Macy's fireworks and music special on TV right now, and the repeat. LOL. Love seeing the fireworks in NYC - along the Hudson this year, I think it was.

TSK, I meant to say yesterday, I wan't bothered by hearing that Coco Gauff won her match yesterday before I had watched it. LOL! I chose to record it and watch it later, but that definitely doesn't mean other people shouldn't mention it. It didn't spoil anything.  ;) Enjoy the visit and fun with B&T!

Lani, I wonder if Hurricane Beryl's updated track, pushing it to another possible landfall as a hurricane in south Texas, will make for a change in Mike's travel plans. It's always a last minute thing, it seems, to know where landfalls will be, so it's hard to know what airports, or flight schedules, might be affected for a bit. Glad Shannon and he rpup can visit todday, and then Aly and Dewey will be there in a few days, too!

Clynn, yes, it's always interesting the age differences between generations - some shorter years, and some longer. I had a couple friends growing up who also had aunts or uncles their same age or younger, which always seemed funny to me when I was a kid. LOL. All great pics of The Munchkins from your home and the Blue Zoo - fun outing! Love Bella's dress! Was she wiggling a loose tooth in one of those pics? I wasn't sure. Oh, good news for the Younger ospreylet's eye being open now! I'm so happy that Iris gets to have a full nest this year, and a great new mate in Finn!

OG, that's great you're taking off work and heading to ATF this year! Yay!

Lisa, I think the brunch cruise will be nice - and then you'll have time afterward for other things before dark.

Karen, you have been the Energizer Bunny lately - on the go non-stop! You're doing great! Your new birdbaths sound nice. Yum on the sliders for the 4th! I'm betting Piper got a bite or two of one, too.  ;)

Phyl, I hope you all enjoyed your get-together today.

Tig, sounds like a nice day at your house. Enjoy!

KB, good timing on the walk with Lollie. Fun hearing and seeing the vintage aircraft flying overhead!


Good night, All. Peace. SED.

Lani, awww, sweet puppy... Glad you got to spend the evening with Shannon, and soon Aly and Dewey will be here. Mom is looking forward to Kelsey and I coming, she found some old letters and pictures in a metal box she got from Grandma's when she passed away. It will be fun going through the box, she loves going through old papers, etc!

baz, yes, Bella has lost one tooth and now has another one loose! I forgot to mention that, you got it!  Ed watched the fireworks on the Hudson, he said it was fabulous!

karen, I think you are doing great, you don't need to mow! Four More weeks of P/T...maybe. LOLOL! I don't mow, well, once in a great while a little around stuff in the back yard. We got a riding mower a couple of years ago so Ed could do the mowing, sometimes Erin does it when he is here. We had brats, and I made potato salad, baked beans and deviled eggs. Strawberries and ice cream for dessert.

Lisa, I can tell that you are really looking forward to the ATF! I hope you have a ton of fun and good times! It is a special place for sure!

kb - The popular potato salad here in the grocery store is Reser's, and the one that is a lil more yellow than the others is the Amish one.  Great catch of the planes!

tsk - Hope your BBQ was a good one.   :D

karen - You seem like one that if you put your mind to it, that you can get it done.  I bet you will be stable in no time, if you keep at it!  :-*  Your sliders and salad sounded delish.

baz - Sounds like you had a very nice 4th! LOL, "Dogs preparing for the 4th of July"

Lani - Hope you did too...sweet pup!

clynn - I love going to ATF, even if we don't have eagles to see this year, I just enjoy seeing old friends and making new ones.

Chachalaca Youngsters Visit Fruit Feeder For a Meal

A small family of Gray-headed Chachalacas visited the feeders together last weekend. The two fledglings explored the platform while an adult fed them bits of fruit, and then the family flew off into the surrounding forest.

Good morning!  Let me assure you, i am not an energizer bunny!  Wish I could say. That I was!  I have always been a procrastinator  and a bit on the lazy side!    Other than that I am solely responsible for myself , my happiness, home, health and Piper!  Therefore I will do everything I need to do in order for life  to move forward!

Yellow potato salad is usually made with mustard!  My favorite is red potatoes, skin on, a lot of onion, some celery, lite mayo cut with sour cream, s and p!  Hard boiled eggs, optional.   Many folks do not like this but as I have aged I do not car for a vinegary taste, too much!   Like hot peppers tho!  Lol, not in pot. Salad.

Mike should be okay in Houston.  That is as it looks today!  He did experience a mess in  Louisiana  after a hurricane so I think he will be prepared!

Beautiful morning colors today, Clynn !  So happy!   Nice storefront picture Phyl!  Somewhere in .France?

Thanks for the pictures of Hellgate and the Norths! All looking good.

Hi All!!!  Hope all had a good couple days off to string together.  Not over yet.  Nice weather in our area, not so good in the Caribbean.  Wondering how my friends in the islands are doing; lots of acquaintances and contacts in Cayman.  Puerto Rico and Jamaica seem to  have a lot of reports.  They usually get the good coverage because of their size and population.  I have friends on Cayman - not so much attention from there yet.  Cayman is basically 3 small islands that are below sea level in several areas.  I'll give them time and then try reaching the powers that be down there to see how my friends are doing.

But I do know I can contact friends up here tsk.  Do you get and did you see the article in the Trib about the two areas up by you that have resident osprays nested.  One is in/by Busse Woods in Rolling Meadows.  The other is in Barrington at the Baker's Lake Younghusband Pairie.  (I've heard about Barrington, but the pairie is new to me.)  The paper also had another article recently about the developing news of the plovers at the north beaches of the north shore and even into Michigan.  Two good accounts about how their success is growing and they've managed to keep them safe/protected from the crazies.

PHYL  I like saying their name   Chachalaca  ;D

KAREN   Basically the potato salad I made for yesterday - I add some fresh dill too. ;)  I used a Dijon mustard but have used yellow too.

PUFF   Thanks for the tips.  I don't get a paper.  Busse Woods is HUGE.  I remember driving all around there looking for the eagles nest.  Come to find out , it was only visible from I90  LOLOL  which I eventually saw - They rebuilt several times.  I have not heard of that Prairie in Barrington.  I will google it and may be a nice ride when I've got a few hours .  Those plovers make the news .  They are very well protected this year I assume as they lost their eggs last year right?    Just googled the Bakers lake prairie  90 west to 59 north to Dundee and right to entrance.   I may just try that - We'll see how my time goes.

The late night fireworks neighbor gets the early morning leaf blower neighbor!

I mowed and weed whipped the long back wet grass this morning...had to bag it it was so long. With all this rain there are only a few days a week one can get at it..
Success!

Was hearing fireworks well past 1 am last night.....luckily, Ollie man is not disturbed by them, although for some unknown reason he had diarrhea 5 times throughout the night...?????
I'm watching him. He feels fine and appears this morning to be over...might just be one of those things?

No city planned fireworks display happened last night. Cancelled at 4pm yesterday while still raining. They had to make a decision about logistics ( police, closing roads, vendors, etc.) and that's the best info they had at the time....Me:....oh well!....but, that might have inspired all the locals with illegal fireworks to go nuts.??

Taking it easy the rest of the day now...whew..

LISA  That was patriotic Lulu  LOL

TIG  We had a neighbor - who has since moved about 3 years ago - but I had the same thing - Took awhile to clean up the backyard from his mess.  Coincidentally I had my first spam text from the Ill tollway system this AM saying we need to pay so much in missed tolls and if not pay another large penalty .  NOT

TIG  We had a neighbor - who has since moved about 3 years ago - but I had the same thing - Took awhile to clean up the backyard from his mess.  Coincidentally I had my first spam text from the Ill tollway system this AM saying we need to pay so much in missed tolls and if not pay another large penalty .  NOT

robokiller only lets voice mails through that are in my contact list. So, yes one can leave a message and they ask if this is real or not..

I forgot to mention when I signed up we picked over 10 responses robokiller offers more that are so funny. When the spammers answer they get spammed in other words...they haven't called now in several months.

Lani, maybe Mike should postpone his  Sunday trip to Houston!  Been listening to Noaa reports on the weather channel and the announcers are giving warnings of a Monday landfall.  Say hurricane but not the strength!  They get excited when storms reach the .uS so who knows!  I am sure Mike is aware and plotting his next move! He might want to let her settle her skirts before  traveling
Lani, thus afternoon there was mention of Louisiana and I thought Beryl must be stalking your friends! Hope your ribeyes were good tomight!

The neighbors shot the fireworks off in the street in front of the house.  Haven't looked at the mess and not gonna to either.



Tsk now why wouldn't I have had a fun July 4th?  ;D;  LOL     Maggie lounged while the fireworks were blasting didn't phase her one iota. Lulu cute looking out the storm door.  That part of your house is just as I imagined.

Happy Friday Night, Beakers!

I'm glad everyone survived their neighborhood revelers and fireworks. My neighborhood was unusually quiet last night - a welcome change from previous years on the 4th.


Lani, ugh on those killer hot temps in your region. Glad you have your elevation and the pine forest to mitigate it a bit. My town's official high temp today was 95, with a "feels like" heat index temp of 110, no thanks to the dew point and humidity. Air you can wear, as we say.

TSK, aww, I love that pic of pretty Lulu enjoying her great view out your door, maybe watching intently for any leaf or litter to move along your front walk, signaling some small critter to track.  :-* Your entrance hall is very pretty.

Karen, LOL, I sometimes claim that I'm the last of the great procrastinators.  ;)  I want some of your next batch of red bliss potato salad!

Phyl, glad to see the pretty juvie RTH visiting back at its nest balcony railing. A juvie/fledgling Red-Shouldered Hawk has been spending some time in the trees around my townhouse the last few days, and was looking pretty while perched on the fence post near the pond, watching for a meal, no doubt. The regular nesting Mourning Dove pair, Lovey and Dovey, have been scarce as a result!

Clynn, it will be fun to go through those family pics with your mom.

Lisa, you will have a fun time catching up with old friends and new in Decorah at ATF! And a visit with TSK along the way this year, too?


Waving to All the Beakers!  :)


My 4 twin greats and their dad and my sister were on vacay this past week on one of the barrier islands in SC. A good time was had by all.   ;)

Clynn, pretty morning pics..... it will be fun going through your grandmother's box of letters and pictures.  :-* ... Love the Hellgate family pics and DN eaglets, especially when Finn is sitting on the perch and watching over his family.... And the DN siblings are inseparable.  :-*

Phyl, thanks for the update on the young Red Tail Hawks. Thanks for introducing the Gray-headed Chachalacas to us, sweet family. The fruit flies was disturbing, I was itching while watching the video... LOL! ... I want that beautiful houseboat.  :-*

Lisa, I'm looking forward to hearing your ATF stories and seeing your pics.  :-*

Tsk, Mike is not allowed to do long driving trips. Remember a year ago or longer he fell on his drive to Louisiana. He ended up in Urgent Care...  awww Lulu, she's a beauty....  Sweet pic...   ;D ... we get calls about needing to pay back taxes. Which of course isn't true.

{{{Lori and Destini}}} sending hugs and prayers for you and family.  :-*

Karen, The ribeyes were delicious.... my mother's potato salad has t. of yellow mustard, no matter how much potato and mayo. There's no recipe just by memory. We've made her potato salad since I was little. ... Mike just realized the storm will hit Houston the day he arrives.... He has to go, there are others flying into Houston at the same time for a meeting. We'll see if they decide against it by Sunday.

Puff, prayers for your friends and all in harm's way of Beryl.  :(

Kb, I hope {{{Ollie Man}}} is feeling better... I'll check on Robokiller app.... I hate it when they call from different numbers. I can recognize their voices.  ::)

Tig, lots of good tennis today.... We've been getting a lot of spam calls too. I just ignore now.

{{{Baz}}} ugh, your humidity  :-\ ... beautiful sunset pic with your greats!.... huge horseshoe crab with your great nephew! I wonder how old it is... Adorable 4th of July pics with Lil Punkin and her Bro. Gorgeous red hair! ... sweet look of Lil Punkin in top pic.  ;D

Good night, the first night in a forever home for this pup!  :-*

Puff, nice to have the wikdlife inBarrington abd on the north shore.  I wonder if they have been forced to leave their homes elsewhere or if this is a result of an increasing population! .lani, that black lab puppy looks like a large Piper!  She has no lab in her!  You have a lot if energy!  Stay cool!
Puff, I read, yesterday that the banana and plantain crops have been heavily damaged on one if the islands!   Think it might have. Been one of the Caymans.

The fella I met coming home on the plane was actually the overseer of a banana plantation in Guatemala.  Wife was a teacher.  Overall, a very interesting conversation/flight.  Love that aspect of traveling, meeting new ideas and people under unique/different lifestyles.

Lani, Kelsey and I will be leaving a week from today for Mom's! Sad news last night, my Aunt June, who has not been feeling well since last fall has lung, colon and spinal cancer. She has been fighting what the doctor thought was long covid, then in the last month her back started bothering her. She fell Thursday and called her son to take her to the hospital. She is in Hospice now, would you please add her to your prayer list? Her husband, my uncle Kenny, passed away 2 years ago, they were farmers.  I do hope Mike's company postpones the meeting for a bit, but I am sure they will know if it will be safe or not. No company would put their best people at risk! Glad you had a good Fourth with Aly and Charlie! (Did I get that right?). Awww, happy for that sweet pup, he's home!  Is Aly getting the ultra hot weather that Becky is?

baz, great pics of the kids, they are all growing like weeds! Lil' Punkin and Bella will be in First Grade this Fall!

Phyl, we had a gorgeous day yesterday, 74 and a nice breeze! High will be 85 today, rain this evening. Sister Becky in Corvallis, OR is on Day 2 of a 5-Day spree of temps over 100. Today it will be 103. Their normal temp is in the high 60's. low 70's. Ugn!  I am like you, no affection for fireworks! The majority of the robocalls we get are from some Medicare company, wanting me to switch to their advantage plan. They call often, and what irks me is that a lot of them are recordings. You can't yell at them! Love, love, love that house boat!
 
tsk, now that's a new one, you haven't paid your tolls! We don't have any toll roads around here, but I have had the iRS one. Back taxes, a warrant for my arrest that they can make disappear if I send them $1000. I wonder how many people have sent the money.

Lisa, the area all around Decorah is very pretty, love the area around the hatchery. Just thought of something, did Mom and DM2 leave the hatchery area the same year the Maple tree was taken down? The ATF is almost here!

Many things in the "beak news" today.

Hi back to all clynn  LisaG   tsk and all. . .

Started off with that special order by kitty for special sammich.  Cute  LOL

My beast Puff had a thing for ice.  Ton would be "told" to throw a chunk in his water.  Plus he would go crazy, goofy if a stray piece would drop to the floor when we used the auto ice dispenser. 

So sorry Clynn about the news of your aunt.  Three years after the fact?  Prayers for all.

Yep, 70's here today.  Would like to be out in the yard; too much yesterday though.  Taking a break today.

Y'all Re: houseboat post, back in the '80s when Cali rent was  astronomically high.  Dan lived on a houseboat at pier in the harbor.  Dad took
a vaca for two weeks and stayed w/Dan. They had fun---one afternoon he was at the pier watching an episode of 'Rockford Files'
filimg---he started to leave so not to get in the shot when James Garner was chasing 'a suspect'.  A production aide approached him
and asked him to stay as a bystander.  He did and got a token check in the mail for 'extra's  pay'.   I was surprised as Dad wasn't a member of SAG and all.   And yes it aired with Dad in the scene. Purdy cool.

Tried sitting in the sun enjoying my back yard gardens. Made it almost an hour while Ollie sniffed out chipmunks under my deck and got too hot. He went inside, LOL and then so did I!

Phyl - Thanks for the article on, Your cat can recognize your voice.  I get emails from VRBO, and a couple days ago houseboats came up as places to rent for your vacay.  Some even had pool sides on the side of them to slide into the lake.

tsk - I am ready for LONG chat, and pizza!  :D   We are still having a scorcher today, not as bad as yesterday tho.  Enjoy Bakers Lake Prairie

((clynn)) - Totally missed your comment to Lani about your Aunt June.  Prayers being sent her way!

kb - That is too funny!

Puff - Glad to hear you are resting up after your day in the yard. 

Lani - I bet you are excited to see Aly & Dewey, and I bet she won't mind helping out with what you need done. Great pics from Hellgate.

PHYL    How cool was that for Dad to be a part of a Rockford File episode  LOLOL  Right place at the right time  ;D

KB   Hysterical - caregiver and the black dog "in love" with her  LOL    Awww that sweet baby being adopted  :-*

SO  We are back.   GPS took me to the smallish parking lot in the prairie.  What - no lake.  We came back after trying to find another way there.   Noticed what I thought was a light post? but why in the middle of the prairie way out in the distance.  With binocs - an osprey nest  with two osprey sitting on the edge.  It was a platform with a few strands of nest material hanging from it.  Further googling said there was a Baker Lake outlook.  But where?  Got an aerial shot and a map of Barrington and we drove to what turned out to be the outlook to this lovely lake surrounded by trees.  AND it is a Rookery.  A man was parked next to us and he noticed my binocs.  I said I was looking to see if I could see the osprey platform from this side of the lake - no dice.  BUT  DID SEE two eagles perched on the structure on the Rookery island - below, the structure were cormorants and great egrets!!!  I was very excited.  Never knew this place existed.
So by trial and error we not only saw the osprey - eagles were thrown into the mix  LOL
Unable to take pics - too far away.

TIG so sorry to hear of {{{Camper}}}  sending prayers and good wishes he feels much better by evening

Lani  hope you have some girl time w/ Ally. Safe travels for Mike when he leaves

TSK the trip wasn't a total wash IMHO.  Glad you spotted some ospreys and BEs.  So nice Puff let you know about the area.  Maybe next time better distance for snaps


Easy dinner, just browned grounded beef  with diced tomatoes and onions and taco seasoning . Over tortilla chips with shredded cheddar while warm; shredded iceberg lettuce topped w/ avocado ranch dressing, chopped tomatoes, a brew , etc. Jim doing that while I give myself a 'mani'.Then we'll watch the latest verson of 'Dune' that arrived the other day.

Lani, you will have a great time!
I escorted Games  Gardner
thru the wards of the hospital in rvn!  He arrived late and when we got on the first ward, I understood why!  He was the most compassionate man to visit .  He took the time to address them by name and had meaningful conversations with each of them!   Turns out he spent time as a patient  in a Mash hospital in Korea  so he was very aware of  what these men and young boys needed to hear!   He waa a big man and very handsome!   I felt it was a privilege  to  escort him!

Lazy hot day today!  Cute Caturday  pictures. Etc!

Phyl, What a cool story about your dad being on Rockford Files! One of my favorite shows! Yummy dinner! {{{Bob}}}

Kb, love the pup videos. There are many wonderful animal rescue and adoption organizations. I wish I could help save them all.

Lisa, Aly has been scolding me about not saving the firewising for her too. Mike took another load to the town dump today. I did 210 lbs of bags this week.  ;D .. I'm looking forward to having her and Dewey home for a couple of weeks. We'll go antique looking in Pine, do a puzzle, watch old movies and have a great visit! I need help setting my computer up for zoom meetings for this next year. I'm a bit nervous about that.

Tig, {{{Camper}}} what a great dad! YAY Fever!!

Karen, What a cool story and memory of James Gardner. I Did not know that he served and spent time in a Mash unit.

BL, sounds like a fun time for you and Pip.

Oldguy, thanks for the Beryl news. Mike will be on Southwest. He's keeping in contact with Houston employees and will decide tomorrow if he should cancel his trip.

Good night!

Watch on YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIE4Okv5c4k

At our Panama fruit feeder cam, the resident Rufous Motmot pair showed up with their two offspring on a wet day at Canopy Lodge. To spot the youngsters, keep an eye out for their shorter tails and puffier appearances (like the one on the right in this photo). If you look closely you may even spot a one-eyed adult—this bird has been living and raising young successfully since before the cam went live in 2018.

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING

KAREN   I bet your friend will know about this Lake and Prairie. The man I spoke with says he remembers the area before it was a preserve!   So great to hear a celebrity - James Garner was relatable to the veterans . I would have lost my ability to speak. ;D ;D
 I had a movie star picture of him on my wall as a teen  LOL  You had to send away for autographed pics  LOL   Didn't know he was in Korea.

BL  Who wouldn't smile at otters.  I get pics of them on FB all the time.  I need the smiles  ;) ;)

OLDGUY   Beryl  Mike's trip certainly dependent on airport..

LANI  I bet you have a nice long list for you and Aly to do. ;D   She will be a big help for what I presume is originating a Zoom.  I don't know how to do that.  Clever good night pic  :)

PHYL   A bright and cheery good morning back to you.  Had to hear pronunciation of motmot  It is " mot-mot"  LOL  Tropical birds are so colorful.

Phyl, great picture of the Flyway birds and turtles on the logs!  Interesting Motmots, they were sure keeping an eye on something to the upper left! The background sound is relaxing...  68 now, high 82 with some rain. Humidity 85% sticky!

Lani, that firewising is a lot of work, and in the heat! You and your man please take care! Tomorrow Aly and Dewey arrive! Have her look up Teamworks. That's what we use when I need computer help from Erin. He is Mac and I am PC, so that should work for you two. It will be a wonderful 2 weeks, you have some fun things to do! I talked to Mom yesterday, Aunt Junie is doing good, they are taking her to Evansville, IN for some tests tomorrow. Mom said one of the doctors didn't entirely agree on the diagnosis, so they want more tests that aren't available at the small town hospital. Aunt Linda will get to go home from the rehab this coming Friday. Then I got the call that Cathy (sister) is in the hospital, with pancreatitis! They are doing tests and will send her home tomorrow. That's three, so hopefully that's it!

BL, sounds like you and Pip are having a great time, just enjoying Mother Earth!

karen, oh I have always loved James Garner, The Rockford Files is running right now, I watch it often. I remember watching Maverick with my Dad way back in the 60s. Black and white. Nice to know he was a good person, I looked him up on Wiki and he really was a good man!

tig, hope Camper feels better today...

tsk, what an adventure you had! I have heard stories of GPS 'errors'! Once Kay and i were taking a different way to Mom's, the GPS had us on a dirt road when we approached Fairfield. Luckily, I knew my way from there, only 15 miles from Albion! Ed's oldest brother Bob lived in Barrington before he retired from Palumbo and moved to Arizona. Very ritzy area if I remember right. Bob's house was very ritzy! You got to see more than you went for, that is a very good thing!

Lisa, I think a houseboat vacation would be great! Would it be anchored somewhere nice along a river?

For those "listening" in to Tsk and Me and others familiar to the area - we do have some great areas.  Sometimes out of the blue.  I mentioned last year when I did jury duty (outside in DuPage county) and sat to finish my tea in the car when I got hook on watching the falcons that were nesting on the building nooks and crannies.  In talking to a county police on duty inside he put me on to the fields around the facility.  Tried it twice, recommended on weekends.  Lots of new critters to see; it is a fun and interesting watch.  I haven't been there lately.  I'm also intending to go to a get-together on Thursday with Forest Preserve District of Cook County at a local spot, for seniors which does "hikes".  I've been there on my own - but I thought I'd go to a thing on Thursday and share with them about RRP event.  Some of these things take hours and long hikes, which I have to do on my own and at my own pace.  Wishing I was at least 10 years younger, more able.

And then I get back to the 50's - 70's.   Ahhhh memories.  I was spending a lot of "breaks" in Las Vegas, couple times a year.  That was when they had STARS and not revues.  I have a large bags of pics and autographs.  Best was to hang around after late shows when they'd recoup in the lounge after showtime. 
Two fun times:  Sitting on Cleopatra's Ark at Caesars Palace with Harry Belafonte and Dionne Warwick, getting tipsy as the "boat" rocked.  Or how about the time "Mike" , the first husband, and I were placed at a bad table next to/behind a curtain where we couldn't really see the show on stage.  He was really teed off - until the curtain went up and we were sitting on the stage.  That was with Carol Lawrence/Robert Goulet.  Sad thing, one of my favorites ELVIS I was never able to get to see.  :-\   Did I mention that Elvis and I had the same birth day - but not the same year.  He was 9 years older.  Also did I mention that Ton and I got married at the Little Chapel of the Bells (on the strip, next to a shoe store, in a shopping mall).  ;D

Would have been 46 years this August 1.

Fav of this representative "other generation"  Elvis, Frankie Avalon, Fabian, and yes, James Garner. 

Leaving memory lane - thanks for the time.

Puff - As a Western Airlines Flight Attendant between 1972-1978, we as a crew often over-nighted at a Las Vegas Hotel. As well the owner of the airlines owned the hotel/hotels. I tried to find the name but nothing came up. Of course, free great seats too.

Consequently, we saw Elvis, Engelbert Humperdinck, and Tom Jones among other less well known entertainers. Western Airlines had a very interesting history/back story.

https://www.dalrc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Thumbnail-Sketch-Of-Western-Airlines.pdf

We were at the time the Champagne Airline and handed out as much champagne for free as anyone wanted.

Only flew the Western Half of the US plus Honolulu, Mexico City, Anchorage, and Canada.

Those were the days... ;)

For a big chunk of my first three years then called probation?...on call...I often flew a 737 8 hopper between Mpls and Los Angeles. Many of those flights were app. 20 minutes and no beverages were served.
Also later flew the 727, 720B's and lastly the DC10

CLYNN   Enjoyed " Here's to us"   ;) ;)  Boy, when it rains it pours - What was Linda in rehab for - I've forgotten..sigh  Never hurts to have additional, more informative, tests for A. June - glad they are doing that.  (((Cathy)))  Aslo loved Maverick and RF and anything James Garner was in.  Frankly I don't trust GPS so I always find the route on my PC and keep it as a back up.  I sort of knew where I was going but keep wanting to practice with my GPS.  I think Waze is more accurate overall.  Yes Barrington overall is very ritzy!  But in town, the houses are more normal.   Those two North siblings sure do stay together.  Am not sure we have seen that too often.

PUFF   LOL  Loved your Vegas stories  ;D ;D  You and Ton married at a Vegas chapel - Who knew  ;D

clynn - That is exactly how my hair looks when I take that first morning sip!  ;D I am pretty sure that the houseboat is anchored on some lake.  You might have to drive it to the spot where you want to anchor.  I need to read up on it.  Prayers for Aunt June, Aunt Linda and Cathy!  My mom had reoccurring pancreatitis.  I hope Cathy's is not too bad. 

Puff - I ditto what tsk said, loved your Vegas story.

tsk - That is me too...don't trust GPS, so print out my route before I travel.   And, sometimes I still miss the exit!  ;D ;D ;D

Lani - After all of that, I would be needing a nap too!  Cute pups!

Good night, everyone!

Phyl, I was not too clear in my post about JG!  He was in the military of and stationed  in Korea!  He was injured and was a patient in a Mash  hospital!   He was a truly nice person and I think  not at all affected my his good looks!
Robert Mitchum spent two days at the hospital!  Talked a lot about his kids!  He was  a favorite of  all  of us women as his secretary thoughtfully sent him off with a ton of lipsticks!   I met many others and most were very unassuming!  The two exceptions were Nancy
Sinatra and, .Ann Landers! 
Robert Mitchum was in Mobile many years after the  war and I went to the set where he was filming!  I asked to see him and was told he was in make up!  I said, oh, I was sorry as I wished to thank him for his visit to vn!  The man said, wait a minute and I was quickly escorted to his trailer!  I was surprised he seemed to remember me and the hospital!   The pleasant side of war.

Howdy Beakers!

I'm watching The Weather Channel, getting news about Beryl... the next update on its status (strength/motion/track, etc.) will be in about an hour from now - at about 11pm (Eastern), so I'm going to watch that. It will be making landfall in a few hours. I heard earlier today that Harris County Metro (trains and buses) planned to shut down at 10 pm tonight, but I don't know if that's for the whole county or not, and most all Houston flights are cancelled for tonight and tomorrow. Prayers for all in the path of that storm.


Clynn, prayers for your Aunt June and your sister Cathy, and hope you get some encouraging news from them soon. All best for your Aunt Linda heading home from rehab. I hope she is progressing well. (((Hugs to you and all of your family.)))


I forgot about Caturday yesterday! But my sister's Etta didn't! Here she is in all her Caturday 'tude yesterday.   ;D :-*

Good Evening Beakers

Had a little bit of rain today ( .07 in) may have some more overnight.  Temps in the low 80s for the next 3 days - heading back to the 90s for the weekend.  :P

Got 4 games in last night - 2 lopsided games with forfeits after only 2 hands - 1 for each team - then 2 close games that my team won... 8)

oldguy, we had a thunder boomer rush through yesterday evening, don't know how much rain.  I need to get a rain gauge! Good job on the games, the forfeits don't count! What a delicious looking feast for Santi's cats!

tsk, I know how fickle that short term memory is! Aunt Linda fell and broke her leg a couple of weeks ago. She is 85 or so, so no fast heal. My cousin (Linda's youngest daughter) Kindra is a respiratory therapist at the Fairfield hospital where Linda is in rehab, I'm sure Kindra is keeping a close eye on her! This is the Aunt whose husband was killed in a tractor accident in 2013. I have never heard of WAZE, is it an app?

I had not heard of WAZE either - so did some research...  Started in Israel in 2008 - purchased by Google in 2013, was maintained as an independent company until 2022, when it was rolled into Google Geo group.  It has been used by Google to try out new features, before introducing the features into Google Maps.  It gives the user more control over what type of roads to include in route maps.

Howdy Beakers.

Lani, I see some posts from others saying Mike rescheduled his trip, but I didn't see your post saying that. Where did I miss that? I hope all is well, and that Aly and Dewey arrived as planned. Yay!

Oldguy, I made heavy use of my slide rule for a number of years. I learned how to use them in high school, and then was a math and chemistry major. I was trying to remember what year I finally could afford my very own TI calculator... after their prices came down from over a hundred dollars. I'm thinking I bought one probably around 1976 or 1977 maybe? but not sure... maybe later! Of course, eventually you could buy one for as little as ten bucks. My first TI calculator was the popular TI-30, with the red LED display - like the 1st one, top right, pictured here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-30   LOL

BL, I love that commercial with the raccoons - makes me laugh every time! I don't think it is very old... seems like it was running in the last year or two. But then my sense of time has been skewed due to a period with a lack of events for use in marking time passage, which I refer to as, "No Time In The Time of Covid."

Clynn, aww, that's a sweet picture of Harley. I have a feeling that Harley has way more 'tude than Etta.  :D

Good law... I'm supposed to be asleep.

Night, All. Sleep tight. Peace. SED.

Lani, I'm just now seeing your most recent post now that I just hit "post" on my own post. Glad Mike is safe at home, but he must be frustrated not being able to connect with his employees in Texas right now. Safe travels for Aly and Dewey.

Prayers for all in the path of the severe storms and wildfires.

GOOD MORNING

Beryl's rain due in later today.  :)   

PHYL  I believe a couple years ago Hallmark did a movie on an ice hotel.  I forget where they went to film it. Thanks for Amy's blog.  Trempealeau is a beautiful nest.   The piece on heat waves was interesting.  Women doing better than single men on surviving.

LANI   Safe trip for Aly who could be there before noon today  ;D ;D  I bet Dewey knows where he is going   ;) ;)  Love the beagle.  Too warm all curled up in a cozy warm bed  ;)    Mike not connecting with employees - Hope it's just that the power is out...

BAZI  I admire anyone who was a math and chemistry major - my 2 weakest subjects!!!  I remember a classic experiment we had to do in the lab  - I forget the substance but it was weighed at the start and put through 6 or 7 chemical processes and you had to come out with the same weight at the end - NOT  That convinced me that being a medical technologist in a crime lab was not for me  LOLOL   I've also been using Covid as a marker  eg. " No I think that happened before Covid"   ::)

YIKES!  Forget the worries of the temps, rain, etc.  Went down drive for paper a short time ago.  Temp listed at  68.  No rain, not a flicker of a breeze.  The worst was especially the humidity.  Checked back in here and it's listed at  93.  It felt at least like 95.  LOL   :-\   Really going to feel it today.  I don't turn AC on until over 78 - but it's on now!

baz, you were up late! I had a TI-30 too but never really learned how to use it... :D  Yes, Harley does have a 'tude, always has. He is tolerating Sam & Sophie pretty well, but is not happy when they try to engage him in cat play. He gives them a gentle smack, mostly Sophie as she often tries to give him a hug!

Phyl, good blog from Amy, thanks for posting! 65 here, high 85 today.  Smile while you still have teeth! LOLOL! As soon as I finish this post I am going to watch the video about Parks! And read the article on heat waves!  Thank you for all the good information you bring to us@

Lani, relieved to hear that Mike will wait until next week, lots going on in Houston.  Google says it's 1147 miles from Medford to Payson, that's a long drive.  I always dread my little 500 mile drive to Mom's, but I do it 3-4 times a year! It goes faster when I am by myself because I listen to books on CD. Becky and Jennifer visit Mom twice every year, their drive is 2,195 miles from Corvallis OR to Albion. It takes them 3 days. Their cats Lucy and Molly are quite used to it now! That Beagle looks like he just melted out of his bed...

Lisa, Harley is doing pretty good with Sam and Sophie, tolerating them quite well! He is very gentle when he smacks one of them, and sometimes he just wants back downstairs! They all love being on the deck! I usually open the sliding door in the early morning so they can go out. The deck faces East, so they get the warm morning sun. I let them out during the day but I close the door. They come and stand by the door looking in, sometimes pawing the door when they are ready to come back in. Harley is the one that stands there trying to decide if he really wants to come in, it's that cat thing'.

Puff, wow, that's a big jump in temp for a short paper trip!

tsk, cute ice cream cone good morning!  Your post made me remember something from way back! A newspaper article headlined 'Message to sick men - take it like a woman!'.

CLYNN   LOL  Same with our porch. It has a French door to the kitchen and if I sit on the porch to read or the like the doors are closed if the A/C or TV is on.  Lulu will come and paw the door if she sees me sitting out there.  I get up - open the door and she stands there like????    Sometimes I nudge her out as she is taking too long to decide   ::)   Kudos to Harley after all he is the Alpha and resident cat who has allowed these newbies to invade his turf.  He's doing a great job practicing tolerance  ;D   No kidding  " take it like a woman"!!
A greater truth was never told.   Awwww  Sad news indeed at Dunrovin.  I would hate to watch that happen and be so helpless.  Love Iris's look at Finn with his whale..

clynn - Glad to hear that Harley tolerating  S&S.  I have to laugh when you said, He is very gentle when he smacks one of them.  I always thought Bandit would be the one to smack Misty, but she bosses him around and starts things most of the time. So sad about the youngest at Dunrovin  :(  Glad to see the little ones eye is looking better.

baz, well, now you have to tell us! What has been going on today? I am sure we all remember the intro to the Twilight Zone!  And there was also The Outer Limits!  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=intro+to+outer+limits&mid=3DC0866D0F2AE35F01A03DC0866D0F2AE35F01A0&FORM=VIRE

Lisa, I think the female cats always rule, at least in my years of experience! Harley was scared of Honey, and it seems Sam is a bit scared of Sophie. Max always let Emma have her way. It's just nature...  Not that the males were really scared, just more wary...

kb, good for that policeman!

tsk, I love how cats just look at when you want them to do something, like move!

National Geographic Nature - When you eat fruit, don't throw seeds and kernels in the trash. Wash and dry them. Put them in a box and put it in the car. When you're on the road, throw them through the window in places where there are no trees.
Nature itself will take care of them. Or throw it out during a walk or bike ride. This practice has been around for centuries in Asian countries. That is why their fruits are now growing everywhere. I would like to add that I have seen a similar phenomenon in Slovenia. While walking through the forest on the slope of the mountain around the city, I was surprised to find apple trees, apricots, plums and pears growing in the forest.  Just pull and eat as much as you want.

National Geographic Nature - Four legged tree in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
One hundred years ago (1915), John Henning planted 4 linden tree saplings—2 on either side of the walk—leading up to his front door. Mr. Henning, a farmer who had immigrated from Germany as a young man, had moved into town when he retired. With lots of expereince grafting apple trees, he aimed to imitate the archways of lindens he recalled from Berlin. First, the two on the same side of the walk were lashed together and grafted. Then when each pair was tall enough to arch over the walk, he grafted the pairs. Over time, a towering trunk grew from the original four.
The four-legged tree of Cedar Falls has weathered two major setbacks in its long life. Not too many years after Mr. Henning started his project, the front right tree died and a replacement was grafted in. Thus the lesser girth of that trunk.

Good Morning!  Hump Day!  77 degrees with 98% humidity!  Sunny with a possibility of a little rain at 11 am!   High of 90.

Lani,  can just imagine the excitement of Sadie and Dewey!   What fun they will have!  Wish they had longer together!   Enjoy the two weeks!

Terrible fires and flooding in  New
Mexico and very bad fires in the worlds largest wetlands , in Brazil!  Awful devastation both places!  Wildlife  truly suffering death and devastation!
Enough doom!  Piper says, get the day started!   Waiting for  Clynns cheerful morning pictures!

It's awful quiet in the Beak, how about something funny!  ::) ::)

MEANWHILE IN MONTANA: A handful of cows found their way into a newly built home and lived in it for a month before being noticed.
The family was moving from Washington. The Aunt was supposed to be checking on the place, but she didn’t. A rancher had filed a report about missing some cattle and even checked their barn, but not the house. They think a bad storm sent them looking for cover. They also think the storm blew a door in or somehow one of the cows nudged one open"

Late again, but had the dentist today.  I didn't realize I made so many appointments close to leaving for ATF.

tsk - Wow, you got quite a bit of Beryl rain.  Another hot one for us, it's 91° but feels like 103°.  I think the slight breeze is the only thing making it not feel like 103.

clynn - Pretty morning pics full of color. Great pics from Hellgate and DNN.  Have a good day with the munchkins.  :)

kb - Wow, that is a big rack.  Hope you got your mowing done, and are inside and out of the heat. 

karen - You and Piper stay cool. 

Phyl - Pretty morning greetings. 

Lani - Glad to hear that Aly & Dewey arrived safely and Sadie was happy to see Dewey. 

BrokenLug - Glad to hear that even you are staying out of the heat.  Thanks for the tunes...love me some Elton!

Post by: baziunc on July 10, 2024, 05:30:07 PM

Beakers, it's very sudden and very grim news for Etta. I'm going to share this information now, but please don't make recommendations or ask further questions, because there is no additional helpful information really, and it is very distressful. I'm already in a puddle. Many of you have experienced this kind of sadness, I know. I just want to let you know that she went from seemingly perfectly fine, normal, happy, and purring with her mommy, as you saw in her picture from this past weekend, to suddenly very ill when my sister woke up Monday morning and Etta was nowhere to be found. She finally found Etta curled up and in hiding. Severely ill. Like someone just flipped a switch overnight. No eating or drinking, and obviously very fatigued. Monday she had many hundreds of dollars of labs, as well as kidney and bladder ultrasounds done, along with getting special hydration treatment. Those ultrasounds were normal, and all the extensive lab tests results came back the next day, all normal. But she was extremely ill. So today there were more ultrasounds, and also xrays, of other areas, including chest, abdominal, and intestinal areas. Unfortunately, she has an advanced case of GI lymphoma, affecting the lining of her small intestines and stomach, as well as a large intestinal mass. There are different forms of GI and intestinal lymphoma in cats, some of which can be treated as a chronic illness for up to 2 years on average. But hers is the type that typically doesn't show symptoms till very late in the disease progression. And so it is in her case. It's not treatable or survivable at this point, beyond mere days, and even that would require extreme medication and special liquid feeding, as she has just as suddenly quit eating and drinking. She has quickly become very weak and is staying curled up in protected dark spaces. She is in an awful state. Asking the vet, who knows Etta very well, for her thoughts and additional guidance, has led to the loving, but difficult, decision to let Etta go tomorrow. She was given a large dose of prednisone that will help the inflammation for 24 hours, and she came home. Sweet Etta is now curled up and being comforted by my sister at home. Tomorrow is her 15th birthday.

That's all for now. Good night.

Ugg, power out....for the next 3 hours...it's blazing hot.

First thought?..they are laying more internet fiber down the block....can't these people capable of not cutting things?..like gas lines, other cable, electricity....Nope

I'm using my cell phone data plan at the moment....won't for long.

Not to mention our grid...they keep building multi family housing everywhere without concern for how much electricity is needed..pack and stack ya know

Royal Albatross update

Weighing Update: (10.20 am)

Top Flat chick is 168 days old and weighs 8.6 kg. There was no weighing last week and this is nearly a 1 kg decrease in weight from the 25th of June when he was 9.5 kg. His parents came in frequently during the end of June but there has been a bit of a lull in feedings for Top Flat chick during July. A recheck of his weight will occur next Tuesday. There may be potential for supplementary feeding if there have been no significant gains by then.

https://www.doc.govt.nz/nat...

Top Flat Track chick is 160 days old and weighs 10 kg. There was no weighing last week, the weight on the 25th of June was 10.4 kg. Even with a 400g drop in weight Top Flat Track chick is still above the average weight for a male of his age. BOK is a larger female than LGL so we would not expect both chicks to be the same size.

Top Flat chick has moved away from the nest and is spending much time on the right side of the cam view. This is not so far away that his parents cannot find him when they come into feed. Chicks often move away from the nest at this stage. He has moved to the lower right of TFT chick.

Alphanumeric bands are being placed on many chicks early this season as the chicks become more mobile and shift locations. This will ensure that records are kept accurate, and no misidentification can occur. Top Flat chick was banded this morning as E24, and Top Flat Track was banded as E25.

The stainless-steel bands will be placed on the chicks early August.

Royal Albatross ~ TFT Skycalls LGL's Arrival ♫ 😂 LGL Feeds Her Hungry TF ♥ 7.11.24
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6ca0a338437fdf6100de5c907b4809a040425e8131177cbac45b6861fcbbae52.jpg?w=800&h=475

Jul 11, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
Today must be the day for skycalls for the chicks! Both boys were sleeping when they awoke to LGL flying in and landing just below Top Flat. TFT immediately does a skycall greeting and TF begins to whee! LGL walks up to where TF has been hanging out lately. TF begins to beg LGL for his supper - LGL wants to head towards her nest but decides to feed TF in this location.

TF must be quite hungry today -he is incessantly bill tapping Mom to open up & feed him. It is the bill tapping by the chick that actually stimulates the parent to begin the regurgitation process! LGL feeds her chick and then she walks to the right like she was leaving, turns around and comes back - heading to her nest to fix it up. TF has not been on his nest for several days now - he is too busy exploring the track around his nest.

LGL then decides to try and top off one more mouthful for TF before she departs to the right and down the track. It was nice to see LGL today and LGK the other day coming in to feed TF. WYL came in today to feed TFT (he did clack at TF for begging). Thank you for watching!

Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

It's obvious TF chick needs more food, poor boy. He's so hungry. I wouldn't be surprised if the rangers give him his first supplement feeding.

Good morning Beakers!

Kb, awww glad to see the Texas Trooper rescuing the old dog during the storm on the busy road. I hope they were able to find his owners. He looks like an older pup... The Hawk and wooden mallard. LOL!!  ;D ... gorgeous Elk Bull... sorry about the power.  :(

Clynn, such sad news about the loss of one of the Dunrovin chicks  :'( ... My heart soars everytime I watch Iris and her chicks. It's still an amazing sight to see. A new mate and two babies for her, she doesn't have to get her own fish. Chicks have full tummies and Iris's devotion.... And like their mama the chicks watch the train go by.  :-*... Harley is being a good older bro  :-* ... I've thrown out a few fruit seeds myself throughout the years. I still do that with apples... 4-legged tree is very cool... Yesterday's mornings pics were darling... love DN parent with eaglets.... OMG in Montana! The aunt may be on the "no longer on speaking terms" list! I followed up on the story. Looks like it's not going to be an easy fix.  :o  too bad! LOL!! ... great pics of the ever-growing up Munchkins!!! Hi Kelsey!!  ;D ... sweet Iris being a great Mombrella over her chicks.  :-*

Tsk, our cat Milo is especially put out that Dewey is visiting... constantly giving Dewey owl eyes of disgust.... wonderful food at the Cefalu and a new friend too. .. B&J's cookie Dough  :-* ... oh no, wasp hornet nest! Glad someone is able to come and help you with it.  :-\

karen, Sadie is sleeping with Dewey at night, and then she tiptoes into our bedroom around 5am. She thinks if she slips in on her bed I didn't notice she was gone all night. LOL!

Phyl, great RRP news on the Trempealeau and DN eaglets. ;D ... interesting history of heat temps... Yesterday's Flyaway Sunrise pic was gorgeous! ... Higher and Higher was my motto on the school swings. Yep, lots of playing in the sprinklers if we couldn't make it to the beach till the weekend... in Hawaii, if you wear socks with your sandals they call you "shark bait."   8)
Hole Foods... Love the gator's new purse. LOL!! ... darling owl... another great Flyaway pic today!

BL, thanks for Elton John, it's been awhile.

Oldguy, what great news and fun for the QT family to perform at Dollywood!! Bellamy did a great job!!  ;D

{{{Tig, Puff}}}

Lisa, yes, we're having a great time with Aly and Dewey. She's driving me to the valley tomorrow for my haircut and she's going to buy fresh sushi from Sprouts for our lunch! I am so hungry for that. When I'm with Mike we get In and Out Burgers.

TSK never ate 'cookie dough' ice cream--is it tasty? Dad had buried our sprinklers and it's system of connecting hoses in the lawn so all we had to do was turn them on. It was company housing ...Kaiser Steel paid all utilities and repairs. So all we did was turn them on and enjoy.
'Welcome to the world tiny caterpillar'   :-*
 
Lisa nice latte and croissants where's   butter and jam ?

KB do you have 'the juice' back on? Hope so.

Lani  'Hawaii 'shark bait' socks and sandals   ;D ;   tks for the Royal Albie report being chubby is good when youngster learning to fly;  sounds like a real 'girl day' tomorrow...hope you both really have fun. I miss doing that w/my mom.

Just got the juice on now!...we were looking for a hotel room that took dogs when it came back.

90 outside and got up to 80 in the house...

Mainly we were at our wits end as Excel Energy for the last years has been good about updating estimated time for power coming back. Not this time. Last update from 9am this morning was for 3:15 and nothing further till it came back just now.

That makes it hard to decide what to do or know if one should leave the hot house.

So I complained to the Mayor...did get 2 calls back btw, filed a complaint with the PUC in Minnesota and others.

Excel I tried to call for hours...waited for over 30 minutes and then hung up. Rinse and repeat. Last call just an hour before it came back the woman gave me 3:15 and it was already 5!...The woman said she was in Texas which is their headquarters.

Perhaps with the issues in Texas all crews/notifications/ whatever are down there...Geesh. Power is out everywhere...

Me thinks the freezer food may need to be tossed?...what say you...about 9 plus hours..the ice was clumped and melted. The ice packs were warm...I dunno.

Had food delivered for dinner....

It's still 85 outside and the a/c is "cooking"...

PUFF   Yes, monarch about a half day out of egg.  What a beautiful piece on the Rainbow Bridge.  A beautiful poem written from a child's heart.  Glad she was found.

BAZI   Awww Love the pics from Etta's picture album esp the first one in 2nd post  How old was Etta - I may have forgotten

KB   I found this.  A full freezer will hold a safe temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full and the door remains closed). Food may be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or is at 40°F (4°C) or below, however, its quality may suffer.Sep 20, 2023

Thanks, tsk. Yeah I just read the CDC on it. My refrigerator food was in for 9 hours and they say throw after 4...ugg. I just bought and have slightly used condiments...I may try to keep them and just throw the rest in the fridge part..on shelves etc..and in vegie drawers...luckily I did NOT make it to the store for groceries today. I almost went thinking EXCEL would fix even before their estimate....nope not this time

And also today, my brand new ( 3rs old) 2021 outdoor spigot is majorly leaking.

The company that put them  on..2 of them, but only one is leaking won't stand by their product/work.

Geesh, the old one lasted more than 25 years!

Someone suggested these new up to code ones have anti siphon thingy's on them. I am thinking that's the part that is gushing..the top round part...

Flowers now need water with our temps esp. this weekend.....

What's new is awful these days....don't replace anything that ain't broke!

some bounce

After Camper's son cut the grass and his dog chased a rabbit from the yard, we traveled about an hour to an old drive in where classic cars gather on Thursdays. A burger and a malt in the shade.
We keep the Old stand up freezer my parents had in the basement. Talons crossed. It holds gallon milk jugs with ice to use in the fridge upstairs should there be a power outage. It works well.

tsk, Aunt Linda gets to go home today, and she has someone staying with her for a while. Cathy is on meds for the pancreatis, they think it may be from something she is taking for something else. I know she takes something for acid reflux but I don't know what else. She is feeling much better. Don't know more about Aunt June yet.

tsk - I was wondering. But, I did figure out it's called a vacuum breaker...only on new outdoor spigots and upgraded city code...no wonder huh?...

I've called my recently happy plumber guy already this am. Even though I watched a you tube video on how to do it. not too hard. But, I get a little squeamish around doing plumbing work. This guy is too busy today and tomorrow...he's calling his trusted plumber friend about getting to me today as it's going to be well into the 90's tomorrow and if not fixed I'll have to walk out from the inside with a watering can and do the annuals that way. If not, Jack will fix it next week.

I was unhappy the company that fixed my sewer, and also has a plumbing division replace 2 outdoor spigots and 2 indoor toilets in the past, wasn't even willing to come take a look before I figured out what it was.
In other words, to me they weren't even willing to back up their product or labor.

My new guy has already fixed a laundry faucet and a lower bathroom faucet...I know older homes like mine have lots of plumbing needs.

Yes, I know how to turn the water off inside..it's new and just a handle/valve to move not a turning handle.

Yeah, the power is still on!

Hope excel gets it's act together in Houston for them and for the rest of us in the country, asap.

I need to re-stock my fridge this am and take a stool sample to vet as Ollie still has intermittent diarrhea.

When the s doesn't hit the fan, right?

My grandson got married last month so he is no longer living with me. My granddaughter is having a baby in Sept so I will be a great grandma. This spring I bought a new Coachman Nova RB camper van.

3 myths about bald eagles you might have thought were true

With its stark white head, dangerous talons, and a wingspan of more than 6.5 feet, the bald eagle cuts a silhouette few other birds in North America can compete with.
And yet, much of what we think we know about this raptor is, well, just plain wrong.
For instance, the bald eagle is not actually the national bird of the United States.

Even though the species, known scientifically as Haliaeetus leucocephalus, has appeared on the Great Seal of the United States since 1782, no president nor congress has ever officially declared the animal the national bird.
Conversely, the bison was designated the national mammal in 2016, and the oak named national tree in 2004.
Of course, none of this has stopped bald eagles from remaining prominent on American currency, military insignia, and every manner of patriotic merchandise.

The good news for bald eagle fans is that, as of last week, there is a bipartisan effort, led by the National Eagle Center and supported by the Midwest Alliance of Sovereign Tribes, to make the bald eagle’s status official.
This famous raptor’s official status isn’t the only fact many people get wrong about the bald eagle.
(https://i.natgeofe.com/n/28876467-3e34-450f-88d5-2668d6229e6b/NationalGeographic_2432616.jpg?w=1440&h=960)
Screaming eagles
If you’ve ever seen a bald eagle on television or in the movies, there’s a good chance you’ve heard its telltale screech. Except, what you’re hearing is a lie.
“It’s usually a truck commercial or an iconic mountain scene where someone’s clinging to a rock face, and you hear what is supposed to be the sound of a bald eagle,” says Janet Ng, a wildlife biologist for the Canadian Wildlife Service.
“And it sounds really courageous,” she says. “Unfortunately, that’s the call of a red-tailed hawk.”
In reality, the bald eagle’s cry kind of sounds like a giggle, says Ng.

Are bald eagles really bald?
While it may look like bald eagles are lacking in head plumage, don’t worry—they’re actually well-insulated birds.
“They have feathers all the way from their beak to the ends of their legs,” says Ng. “The only bald spots on them are probably their beak and their toes.”
As bald eagles mature, the brown feathers that encircle their heads are replaced with a new batch of stark white feathers. Both male and female bald eagles sport white head feathers as adults.

In fact, the term “bald” here doesn’t actually refer to a lack of plumage, but instead is used in the fashion of the old English term for “white” colorations.
Similarly, you may have heard of horses having “piebald” coloration—which means they are black and white.

Predators unparalleled?
Standing at more than three feet in height and with talons capable of puncturing both skin and scales, there’s no doubt bald eagles are formidable predators.
“They catch a lot of fish,” says Ng, “and they actually catch a lot of ducks, too.”

But hunting its own meals is often a bald eagle’s backup plan.
“Their favorite way to get food is actually just to scavenge,” says Ng.
Sometimes they’re just looking for dead fish washed up on shore, and others make do with scraps from wolves, grizzlies, or hunters.
And if that doesn’t work, bald eagles aren’t above a bit of what scientists call kleptoparasitism—or stealing other predators’ kills. Osprey, which are themselves excellent fishers, often lose their catches to hungry bald eagles, says Ng. 
Of course, none of this should stop you from celebrating bald eagles as the objectively glorious creatures they’ve evolved to be.
But the next time you see one of these birds soar through a scene at the movies, now you can be the one to lean over to a friend and say, “Well, actually…”

CLYNN   Thanks for the update on Aunt Linda and Cathy.  You will know more about Aunt June when you get there.  Prayers continue.
Doc is weaning me off omeprazole ( acid reflux) which I have been on at least a year as it contributes to my osteoporosis.  I was so comfortable on that drug - Now I guess it is one cup of coffee and decaf if I want more.  Think  I will be told to use Tums as needed. - Will check with him when done with the current prescription.   Never an easy solution..

LISA  You have such pretty coffee cup scenes  :)   Hoorah for your rain.  It is such a relief.

KB  You are doing a great job learning how to do things for yourself or at least figuring out how someone else should be doing them so as not to get cheated.  Kudos!

BISCHUE  Wow  Good to see you .  Congrats " Great grandma to be"  Keep us posted.  I think you will really miss your grandson but you were lucky to have him all that time.  Will he live near to you??    Your Nova Coachman is a beaut!!  You owe it to yourself to upgrade to improved safety and luxury - Congrats  ;D

PHYL   The only thing new to me was the fact that the eagle is NOT officially the national bird of the USA  :o :o

So just finished a 30 min exercise video and had a skimpy breakfast as the girls are meeting at 12:30 at Culvers  LOL  Two b-days to celebrate and I want a shake and a butter burger  LOLOL

tsk - Thank you  :)  It's been a light rain so far, so can't imagine we will have 1 to 2 inches, unless more is coming this afternoon/evening. I take omeprazole for acid reflux too, but not everyday.  Doc didn't want me to take it everyday, cause it can cause kidney issues, and since I already had those kidney stones, he said to take as needed.

Phyl - Thank you, and thanks for the "3 myths about bald eagles you might have thought were true".

Well back to normal with food, cooling, and dx for Ollie man so far. See something but don't know what, so sending out to a specialized lab...taking antibiotics over the weekend to get him by. But sometimes that is all that's needed for diarrhea.

Hello Beakers

Got to 86 here today - mid 90s for the next 3 days and then potential rain on Tue and better temps...  long term forecast is cool temps and no rain for ATF  :D  highs of 80 - if the forecast holds, it should be a great weekend...  Lisa, be sure to bring your "Bug Soother" - it seems to be in short supply here in Iowa this summer.

blschue - looks like a nice rig - enjoy

Glad to hear that the author of the Rainbow Bridge poem has been identified.

I missed this earlier in the week - Joe Bonsall of the Oak Ridge Boys passed away on Tuesday (76) - died from ALS - had retired from the tour at the beginning of the year...

Phyl - Bug Soother was invented by a person that lives about 40 miles south of me.  It is a non DET repellent that works very well.  The inventor sold the product to the EcoLips company about 3 years ago, so is now sold everywhere.  The inventer started her research in 2003 for a safe product for her grandchild - started to market it in 2008.

Sorry I'm too tired to post replies and remarks to each on all the good stuff - info, activities, pics of animals - wild, domesticated, and in the cute small human form.  ;)

clynn, I lost track of when you and Kelsey were going, but I see you head out tomorrow. Smooth travels, and fingers crossed Kelsey decides to go for the ferry crossing adventure! Prayers and good wishes for all the family.

Thank you, Beakers, for your kind words, support, and prayers.

Early morning found N17 and N18 buddy-ing up on tree by the stream.  As we've all noticed, they really have a bonding after their rough beginning.  It's good for them and beakers that they're getting a large  parental supporting from M and D.  Watching them makes for a comforting start of Caturday.

Keep cool all!

Lani, I know you are enjoying your time with Aly! Have loads of fun!

tsk, sounds like a good time with the girls! I am getting together with my girlfriends Tuesday, we will probably go to The Smokin' Pig in Grayville and talk for a few hours! Girls can talk...and talk!

Phyl, from Wildheart Ranch!  One of four bluebirds in the aviary getting ready to fly free!
We supplement all our released birds with feeding stations so they can hang around and eat properly until they are mature and independent. Our feeding station pans vary in menu and placement as we keep species separated to avoid conflict as well as adjust to each species nutritional needs.

Hopefully Clynnand Kelsey are rolling down tge road tiward The Land of Lincoln, .carl .sandburg and other famous fokks!  Someone mentioned Carol Lawrence tge other day and her real last name was Laria!   Her brother was a year ahead of me in high school and she was a year or two older.  Think she may have graduated with Gene  Cerna.  Anyway, Have a good trip and I hope you find your Mother in good shape!   Waiting. For a new diagnosis on Aunt June!  The first one seems hard. To believe!

Picture if the three kitties, orange and white look like triplets!  Cute pictures of Lulu, Sam, Sophie and Harley!  The Siamese are comfortable and feel safe or they would not sleep in their backs like that!  Good job!

Grubex can cause problems with dogs and other animals if ingested, inhaled or on skin!  Canned pumpkin, a tablespoon, mixed with food can alleviate digestive issues s a temporary measure.   Not pie pumpkin.

Temperatures continue to be in the mid nineties!  No or very little rain and now in a near drought!  Sprinkler system will have to go back on today!  Water is expensive here ,But then so is new  landscaping!  Almost no annuals for sale here now as it is too hard to keep them alive at the growers or nurseries .  My petunias  bit the dust this week  and they hve been replaced with  white  vinca.   Very bright! Pt went wellyesterday!  Did 20;sit to  stand without using my arms or hands!
Have some outdoor chores!  Stay cool!

Lisa - My intuition told me to "hurry up"...started at 7:15am and finished just before a storm..
I had to laugh again...
Thanks....just now went out between rain drops to weed whip and now a storm coming inbound.

Too hot for anything else today....it's the high dewpoints....more storms tonight.


Which is good for me. I spoke with a different plumber who said this with my pic:

It's a cheap Made in China vacuum breaker.....the whole thing needs to be replaced as you won't find a part at a home depot etc. for it.....omg.

He said Blaylock who had a great reputation for decades....their sewer guys, older guys, are good...their new plumbers not so much and they probably found a cheap faucet and stuck it on...for 600 bucks.

Still waiting for Jack to get out to me to take a look see to find out if true or not...

This does happen with many well known large companies....as he said: Who knows who runs the place anymore?

I'm devastated but learned and wish to share with as many as I can. Older "reputable" companies can be no longer....

Still best to go with one man or smaller shops....esp. in today's world.
That's my lesson and I'm sticking with it. ;)

Whenever I help someone get to Ireland it is always my must recommendation.  Not only are they good at what they do - you just feel the joy in their completion!

But there's also a compulsion of the ranch/dog/sheep owner to show other daily chores.  Caution!  Beware of any offers of Irish soda bread.  BLAH! Take a small piece if you must.  We're used to American Irish soda bread.

Unexpected but welcome rain today.

Unwelcomed doorbell ring and knock, which luckily I could not answer before he left. Lucky for him....he didn't get a piece of my wrath. He left a doorknob hanger which would lead  someone to think there was a problem with the city water and call the number. I checked out the info on the company by searching the web, that was in miniscule font. Many communities have recommended folks call 911 as this company is scamming folks into buying a water softener by preying on them. I called our nonemergency number to report.

Good evening, Beakers.

RIP Dr. Ruth (Westheimer), who died peacefully yesterday at her NYC home, at the age of 96.

I'm attaching a picture taken by my nephew, of part of his 8-mile hike today on Grandfather Mountain, NC. He's the father of my 4 twin "greats." They weren't on the hike with him today though, LOL. I just thought it was a pretty and peaceful place in Nature at that part of the hike. It's always nice to go for a walk in the woods. (Click the attached pic to enlarge it and turn it right-side up.)

Good night, Beakers. Peace. More Peace. SED.

All Things Bears
We have been as busy as a bear shoving salmon after salmon in thier mouths, and we are so here for it. The reigning Queen Grazer herself made an appearance with brand new spring cubs while everyone is posturing at the falls for the best fishing spot. The salmon have finally
started to arrive, and we are all glued to the cams asking ourselves the same question, "Will Otis return?"
While we ponder the biggest question of the year, we had some fantastic live chats this week. We caught lots of action on our Play by Play of Brooks falls this week, and learned about the real heros of Katmai, the salmon. 

Have you been a winner of Fan Cam Friday before? We want to see your prizes! Send us a picture of your past wins for a chance to be featured on our shows. Email us at [email protected] with your Fan Cam prizes. We can't wait to see everyone's collections!
Click through the individual snapshots to visit each gallery, and if you are the photographer, make sure to email us at [email protected] with your shipping address to claim your Fan Cam Friday prize! Be sure to send us a link to your winning snapshot.

And next week we have so many more! The Beluga boat is live again, and we are so excited to swim alongside these amazing white whales. Check out the tour schedule here.  And we can't forget about the incredible (and adorable) seabirds of Seal Island. Join us July 16th at 4pm PT as we chat with Gloria Jin of the Seabird Institute about their nesting habits.

We also have a brand new show this Monday, July 15th at 9AM, Drawn to Explore. Join artist Sara Wolman and Mike Fitz as they host an artist naturalist tutorial all about bears. Join in and draw, or sit back and relax and hone your nature observation skills.

What a friggin nightmare.

No estimate yet....power now off for 10 1/2 hours....stil 135,000 customers without power in the Twin Cities. No excel trucks around.

Had to go up to a Caribou which had power and plug my laptop in to charge it. After 1 1/5 hours and only 89 percent charged I gave up.

We don't know how long our phone bank will keep charging our phones.

Just wish they could say today, tomorrow or gues at one of the two so we knew what to do.

It's very hot and humid today.

My cubed ice in freezer is now melting down on the food.....

Second long time in 3 days for my neighborhood.

Let me apologize before hand.  I soon will not be able to speak because I'm near biting my tongue off.  ALA Phyl, I'm taking space to voice my thoughts and feelings.  I do know the rules.  Sorry.

There is an elephant in the room, in the world, in my heart. 

Twenty-three countries I've been to, not through (drive-thru and connections not eligible).  I seldom if ever read fiction.  I daily read the Tribune and watch Fox News, both sides.  I've voted both parties for 60 years (21 years old was the minimum).  Of course I followed things even at that early age.  I feel I have some background, points of view, and opinions.  They've even been all so pertinent in the last two or three decades.  Ergo, I will use our country's 1st amendment  ---

We have the most successful, beautiful, freedoms, admirable country of any countries I've ever seen, visited, or read about.  However - some novice, neophyte, know-it-all 20 year old wants to influence my choice in November.  I am overcome with joy and thanks that my selection this year is an option.

And, I'm not free here to express my thoughts?  I don't think so, sorry.  Long live our United States of America.

(That's all I'll say here - Want to talk?  PM me to make it more agreeable with the powers that be).

LISA   Good timing this year so you can be home for your anniversary  ;D

KB   That is a shame with your power being out so longx2.  And you probably didn't have enough time to freeze some water in big bottles.  Actually the only way to save the food is to have a very large cooler - which we got - and a source for dry ice - which we found.  Then we got a generator!!

My thought kg Is that they might have what saved us when electricity had a major local generator blow out/blew up POOF.  Com Ed ended up reimbursing over $ 700, no proof of claims except that there were two fridges, one upstairs, one downstairs.  Out for a group of us, thousands? , for 3 and 4 days.  Remember the trouble, think it was over 10 years ago.

No didn't expect another power outage at 1:30 am...funny I don't see any large trees down on any near to me power lines. Maybe blocks away? or more likely, we are on a high density grid that the downed lines could be almost anywhere.

Interestingly, cake eater Edina is re-powered and most of Bloomington. The poorest town of the 3, me, Not at all.

Their twitter account now said many in the cities? could not have power restored till Monday or tuesday, eeks

I didn't replace the last large cooler I had and found out the hard way no longer worked (refrigerator debacle)

I have a portable generator as you know. Requires me pulling it out of shop, not too hard, filling with gas, starting her up, and then running extension cords through an open kitchen window (second floor) to fridge/and a fan or two.

It's good in spring, fall, and even winter...this hottest time of the year, not so much. Though if I had trees down in my yard, ie. like our tornado, I'd do it anyway.

Problem is these days Excel is apparently not staffed enough to provide even close estimation of power restored to customers...

They say they have 1200 lineman out for the state...that was for originally over 200,000 without power.

Don't know how they decide where to do first actually, but we are down to over 134,000 last I looked. But as I said my neighborhood not so much.

They don't carry dry ice where I spent over an hour and a half just charging my laptop today...so hot I drove one block to pick up Davannis sands for dinner today.

Of course Chris wants a hotel room....if not done by mid day tomorrow I may surrender. However, my inclination is to think Ollie man might not be so quiet...??????

Howdy Beakers!  :)

Lisa, have smooth travels and fun adventures on your trip to the ATF at Decorah! Hi to TSK!!  :D

TSK, I loved your recent close-up of Lulu!! She's so pretty!  :-*  My nephew who was hiking this weekend near Grandfather Mountain has a lot of hiking and camping experience, but I'm not sure which nephew you are refering to. This nephew is the father of the 4 twins, and recently traveled to Norway for a vacation and watching the Northern Lights there. His sister is the red-headed mother of red-headed Baby Bro and my LGN. LOL. She and her husband have hiked all around this country, and in many other countries on several continents, including their trip last year to Banff, you may recall. Glad you got the rain. My area is way too thirsty and the rain keeps going around me, for the most part. Hi to Lisa!!  :D

Clynn, hope you and Kelsey had a good trip out and are safely at your destination and enjoying visiting lots of family. Prayers and good wishes for comfort and healing for your aunts, sister, and Mom. Hugs!

Lani, LOL on the High and Mighty Tilda! Too cute!!  :D  I hope you and Aly are having fun - when she isn't busy crossing things off your Honey Do List... LOL! I know the pups are having a blast together, too. Milo will get over the snit... eventually.  ;D  Maybe Norman is giving it all the "Ho hum" approach - kicked back and enjoying the show.  ;) :D

Phyl, those cartoons are funny!

Karen, LOL, do NOT give Jeff any ideas! LOL!! Great on your PT progress and results!! 20 sit-to-stand, no hands, is awesome!

Oldguy, did I miss your card game result for this weekend? Hope it was a night for good hands.


Waving to All the Beakers! Have a Good Night. Peace. SED.

Kb, sorry about your power. Mike had to cancel the Houston tip for the 2nd time. Hotels and his employees/families continue to be without power.

Tsk, It finally rained here today! A mini hailstorm with it too. Enjoy your visit with Lisa.

Lisa, I hope you had a lovely anniversary... Safe travels  :-*

Karen, Pepe  ;D

Baz, We're having a great visit with Aly and Dewey... the Honey Do list was cut in half this weekend. We went antique shopping yesterday, just looking.... and we helped one of my friends with her Mac desktop. She got into a tech problem, Aly has a Mac too. So we spent a few minutes clearing up the situation...  ;D ... Fun pic of the twin greats enjoying the beach. I wish I was there enjoying the waves too.

Another 1.5" of rain during the night.  A big thunder boomer woke me !  That's almost 6" in a week. :o :o

BAZI   Yes I was referring to the Norway hiking nephew.  Lots of fun for the kids in the ocean!

LANI   Good to hear your forested area got some rain.  I suspect we may see some flooding of the river in the suburb west of me.  So nice to have young people around to tend to us "oldies" and our computer issues.  Fun time antiquing  ;D   LOVE that good night photo  :)   Quite a tragedy for Houston.  Hope for a quicker solution to the power loss situation.

No power yet and storms incoming in a few and more later this afternoon.

Not sure if the lineman will be out at all today?

Have a knife stabbing in my back with certain motions but somehow I made it up to Caribou for a cafe latte. 2 of them. Can't believe I'm spending 13 dollars for coffee these days.

tsk - a close by pet friendly hotel is 349 before food and taxes!...thought about it anyway cause we are so miserable, the house/hmm, disposal I can't run, fridge?..is starting to smell with all the heat. Around 80 inside last night but somehow I managed to get some sleep and Chris still is....in the hottest part of the house.

Lots of "noise" out there about how Edina, our neighboring fancy suburb got most of their electricity back first before us...sure as shootin they did.

My report of outage somehow went poof on Excel site so re reported it.

I'm losing battery charge on this laptop and my phone is almost gone too.

Checklist: need phone banks and computer banks in the house at all times. Battery powered fans would be nice too.

Like I said yesterday. firing up that generator and running cords through an open window to run fridge and maybe one fan didn't seem to be worth it yesterday...maybe today? although all fridge food will need to be tossed, once again in 4 days....and freezer may be next?

I read they can wire some kind of "outlet" from a portable generator so as not to leave windows open for cords. Need to investigate.

Lani, reading about Houston I thought Mike would have to cancel again!   They have been in high heat and humidity for weeks, it seems!  Feel sorry for tge power workers who are out in the heat making all the repairs! When living in Alabama I accidentally learned that if you lived within a hospital power grid your power would be restored asap,   Quite close to one here but not in the grid!

Weighing Update: 11.08 am.

Weighing is early this week due to staffing allocations.

Top Flat chick is 174 days old and weighs 8.8 kg. He was later fed by a parent at 11.45 am. Putting his weight up into the acceptable range and not requiring supplementary feeding or a further recheck later in the week.   Last week Top Flat chick was a low weight of 8.6 kg but was feed by parents soon after.

TFT chick on left... LGL is feeding TF chick, look how his feathers are changing every day.  :-*

Good Morning Beakers

We missed out on the rain last evening - it evaporated about 20 miles before getting here and then redeveloped 25 miles after here.  Did get about 1/4 inch in the morning.  Now forecast is for a storm to hit here at 4:15 - will have see... ::)
I see that Minneapolis is projecting that everyone will have power back by 10pm.

Post by: kbshcb on July 15, 2024, 01:52:43 PM

Hallelujah....power back at 1pm!
36 hours plus without...was told 10am..came on for 2 minutes and off.

So, Chris and I dragged our butts up to Lunds once again and started charging, 2 laptops, 2 phones, a phone bank, and ordered and delivered a new powerstation so charged that as well.
A powerstation in the future will let us charge phones, laptops etc....spendy but can't keep going out and sitting for hours for basic now necessary to exist technology.

Can't fathom throwing out all my food today. Will do tomorrow...relaxing after plugging everything in, setting bed to flat, was up in the air last night, LOL, etc.

No I have a 24 yr old car and do have a cigarette lighter adapter. However, cigarette lighter hasn't worked in decades. Still Nellie only has 65,000 miles on her after buying her at 2 yrs old with 27,000.....
Looks like new..but won't do things like spend money on re-habbing cig lighters. LOL

Will catch up around the house when rested..can take days...

Yes, I didn't grow up with AC either however, technology didn't exist then and necessary to exist.

tsk - it's accesible already. It's just that you have to hook up long extension cords through open windows to hook up to appliances....like I said, fine in spring, fall, and maybe winter...in the heat of summer, not so much. I also said I read an electrician state one can get additional outlets adapted?...I haven't explored.

At this point if power outages become a regular thing I'd consider a whole house generator. I bought my portable after a 2002 tornado and 3 days without power. Recently maintained it. Fine for emergencies but these days Excel doesn't give you reliable estimation of power returned. That makes it impossible to know what to do..whether or not to open windows exposing heat/bugs to keep a fridge on or not?

LISA put the wings on her car!!!   Could be 3 PM nest time altho once you get in the city it just might slow down a bit.

KB  I had never heard of a power station before so I googled it.    With a whole house generator you can select all the items you want on the new circuit breaker.  We left our basement off and garage off and laundry room off.  Can always be added.  We used Generac.  Not cheap by any means but adds to the resale value of home.

Yep, not my priority with so many things to fix in this house that are my priority. At the end of the day this house will be left to Chris and if that's his priority, I don't blame him, so be it.
I just wish Excel would be transparent and show us all the grid.

I hear it's a 100 years old with many decades of tweaking it...I'd like to know how my house is connected to Minneapolis for example. That way I could plan if I heard of something there.

Course their shareholders don't want that!

It has gotten ugly outside - temp is 94 and dew point is 84 - feels like 117 - heavy T-storms to begin at 4:30 and last until 8:45  - NW Iowa is starting to pop up with cells -
The big storms will not get started for another 60-90 min.  Expected to get to Chicago land about 8pm  75+ winds are possible.

KB - how big of a Power station did you get?  I have seen some that will power most of a house for $5000 to $7500 - cheap ones ($200-300) that will run a refrig and some lights.
The longest outage in 29 years, that I have had was this spring, it lasted about 1 hour.  A squirrel shorted out something at the sub-station 1/2 mile away.  Most of the power is underground in this part of town, so not effected by falling trees.

I just typed a looong post... and accidentally hit the wrong button while going to look up the spelling of a word. It all went POOF! I can't re-do it... I'm just not up to it. We all hav eknown that kind of "ugh."

It's 111 degrees "feels like" heat index here right now... no thanks to a dew point of 78, and high humidity. Ugh... I'm staying inside.

Prayers for all in the Houston/other TX areas, and elsewhere, who have been without power for almost 2 weeks and/or have even hotter deadly temps and "feels like" readings day in and day out, day after day after day.

BEWARE all in a large portion of the midwest for extremely potentially dangerous weather - starting now in some places and moving east - and will affect the greater Chicago area tonight, and overnight... Damaging hurricane-force winds of 75+ mph, possible derecho, tornadoes, large hail, heavy rains and flooding. Those in the forecast areas for this weather need to seriously stay alert and have a way for warnings and alerts to wake you overnight, and be ready to take action to move to a safer room in your home on short notice, if needed.

Take care, all.

good questions oldguy....a cheap one relatively speaking. An Anker https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FF46FQ9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

We have apparently very old under capacity grids here...I've lost power in the last 3 days a total of 36 plus 10 hours therefore. throwning out 400 dollars of food. Many other times as well.

Will allow us in the future however to charge our laptops, phone bank, and phones..to keep in touch with weather radar, excel updates, and general news important to survive.

Still need to purchase battery powered fans.

Luckily, her DIL finally came and took them out to lunch. I waved at them when I came home.
She said:" I think it's the 1800's...

I'm starving. Haven't eaten nor slept much.

I'll be busy tomorrow.

Always good to catch up in person.  Amazes me how Lisa can drive for 12 hours and still have energy  LOL


OLDGUY, we will see those storms after 9 PM along with hail and tornado warnings  :o :o    Hope it wasn't too bad for you.  Lisa and I were watching the radar as it went over you.

Where's my spoon?  ;D ;) Lisa, you're in a hotel tonight? Glad you're safely there. I thought you were spending the night at TSK's and then heading out tomorrow morning. I hope you have good fun, good weather, and lots of views of the eagles!  :)

Morning all and safe travels to Decorah today Lisa - cute pic of the two of you and so kind of tsk

Heading out with Ollie and then a busy day for me...picking up the pieces...dumped a whole lot of food, condiments and eggs etc. in one garbage bag so far..so heavy and more to go. A little at a time with follow up at grocery store today.....ugg. loss of 400 bucks of food just this last week. Two separate power outages.

I forgot to mention Michigan sent 75 of their lineman to us early yesterday morning in 23 trucks. Arrived yesterday and work started for them at 6 am....Thanks Michigan!

The added man power sped up things immensely except the tree cutters ran behind so at times the lineman were waiting.

Still some without power in my city...
Later.

It has gotten ugly outside - temp is 94 and dew point is 84 - feels like 117 - heavy T-storms to begin at 4:30 and last until 8:45  - NW Iowa is starting to pop up with cells -
The big storms will not get started for another 60-90 min.  Expected to get to Chicago land about 8pm  75+ winds are possible.

KB - how big of a Power station did you get?  I have seen some that will power most of a house for $5000 to $7500 - cheap ones ($200-300) that will run a refrig and some lights.
The longest outage in 29 years, that I have had was this spring, it lasted about 1 hour.  A squirrel shorted out something at the sub-station 1/2 mile away.  Most of the power is underground in this part of town, so not effected by falling trees.

Yikes oldguy that certainly is an ugly temperature.
I know you get "corn sweat" in your neck of the plains but that's ridiculously hot !

Believe it or not a 94° F temp coupled with the 84° F dew point actually = 122° F feels like temp if my handy dandy heat index calculator is correct.

It's technically possible to add another 14° to the 122° if one was in direct sunlight with no air movement, which would feel like 136°.   :o   ::)  That would be 2° above the all time record of 134° (ambient/thermometer) air temp set in Death Valley
in 1913. Now doesn't that just cool you right the heck off.   ;)

Another 1.25" from this storm.  NWS will be evaluating today how many actual tornados hit the ground.  Lots of trees down about a mile or two from my back yard.  Only small branches on my big maple.  Pretty scary tho for a while there.  Whether O'Hare actually had a tornado - as they thought -will be determined today.  Now that it is light  - further weather reports will be revealing.

BAZI   What a darling photo of ranger " Lil Bro"   ;)   I think Lisa feels she's disturbing us too much  NOT  ;) ;) ;)  She got on the road by 6:30 - Should be in Decorah by noon unless she puts the wings back out on her car.  ;D

Lots of excitement by you and me last night, tsk. 

Damage in Norridge, they said they were watching 9 tornadoes and will evaluate today if any/how many touched down.  Obviously there was shut down at O'Hare.

At my back door, Joliet SW of Darien, resulted in inbound I55 being closed still today.  Power lines on interstate.  Will County suffered, they aren't even speculating on when power will be restored.  Bad stuff missed me in DuPage County.  Now they're saying parts of I55 closed in both directions.

Trees and power lines caused mucho problems that are lingering into this morning.  Originally had 300,000 people without electric, even at Loop, Grant Park, and Lake Shore Drive.  Also trying to decide on straight line derecho vs. tornado.

Lots of cleanup on my estate.   :-\  Busy already getting things in order for ATF - now more.

Sloth TV update - Sweet Paul  :-*

We are thrilled to share that Paul's recovery journey is progressing wonderfully, showcasing his incredible resilience and strong desire to return to the wild where he belongs. His spirit and determination have been truly inspiring to everyone involved in his care.

Paul’s charred and torn skin is still being treated with a combination of antibiotics, regular antiseptic cleanings, and tilapia skin grafts. This innovative treatment not only facilitates blood flow to the wound site but also significantly reduces the risk of bacterial infection, promoting faster and more effective healing

His shoulder is healing well, and we are committed to taking him for daily exercises to help him regain his strength and mobility. These exercises are crucial in ensuring that Paul can eventually thrive in his natural habitat again.

Your generous donations are vital in providing Paul with the care and resources he needs. With your continued support, we can help Paul recover fully and return to the wild, where he truly belongs. Thank you for being a vital part of Paul's journey to recovery and freedom!

🐽 Meet TayTay! This little popstar arrived to us from Sarapiquí, Costa Rica after her mother was found dead. Tragically, the pair had been attacked by neighborhood dogs.
😢 Miraculously TayTay had escaped to a nearby tree and was unharmed, but this vulnerable newborn was only days old and had just survived the most traumatic ordeal of her life. We were unsure if she would survive.
💖 That was a few weeks ago and we are happy to report that TayTay is thriving under the care of our skilled Vets and Nursery Staff! She is still small, so we are closely monitoring her progress daily.

I'm done for the day, since 4am.

Feeling almost caught up but inside house cleaning.

2 loads of laundry, picked up sticks everywhere, groceries, my plumber was here and fixed my outside spigot. I'm hitting my forehead how simple it was...and of course a box of wine. House is cool. Ollie walked and noticed a few fences still down etc...

I read this morning someone was on an airplane last night at Chicago O'hare airport and they were stuck on the runway and rode out the storm. All their cell phones dinged tornado in the area and the tower people left the tower so there was nothing they could do...I guess the plane rocked and rolled!
Scary.

Perhaps the lineman from Michigan that saved us can now head to Chicago!

I can't remember if we will hear from Lisa when she gets there. I think not as she last year posted stuff later on or when home? ...enjoy y'all.

PHYL  Thanks for Amy's blog - Lots of squeeing over that pelt.  Great screen shot at the Trempealeau nest.  White tailed eagle story - interesting.  Wonder how often that will happen in the wild.

LANI   Tilapia skin grafts  :o :o :o  I'll never look at tilapia the same way again.   Aww cute Tay Tay a survivor.

KB   Heard that O'Hare story at Bible study this afternoon.  Can you imagine!!!  LISA sent a text at 12:22.  She was sitting in the tree shade at the hatchery watching the geese the next tree over.  LOL  She sent a pic of the geese  ::)

Hello Beakers

Popping in to say hi  :D

Puff, oldguy.....don't forget the Bug Soother...the gnats are BAD!  Cannot tell you how many I have swallowed, or went up my nose or in my eyes this afternoon.  Had to come back this evening and take a shower, cause I had the Bug soother caked on. 

tsk - Nothing much else to see at the hatchery, but the geese.  One BE flew over, couldn't tell who, and the osprey was was trying to fish the pond again.  I went Whippy Dip and got me a small twist.  Yummy!

kb - I read that story about the plane on tarmac.  I know they had to be scared, cause I was scared in the hotel room. 

Lani - Awww, thanks for the TRR update!  Hope you had a good day in Pine.

Karen - Yes, your old home town was rockin' and rollin'!

Phyl - Thank you!  Thanks for the RRP post.

BL - It has been a VERY nice day in DE, except for the bugs!

baz - Thanks for the kind words!  Aww, look at not so little Baby Bro!

Rain totals I'm sure varied from burb to burb.

I long ago realized that local forecasting in such a big Chicago territory is not easy.  I've had a gauge and a routine for years (?) now.  It's nice that I compare your readings tsk with mine.  I haven't seen any stat any where for Monday.  As of last night I still have signs though - grass water logged, puddled water on sidewalks, driveway, street??  Beats me.  I agree with everyone, 4 " surprising and unusual.   

Another strange and unique event - coming in afterward of yard cleanup, I went looking for my paper.  Usually tossed about 5 am.  No paper; maybe it blew or floated away.  Nothing!  No paper?.  And then when I got in I checked out a huge collection of mail on puter.  Son-of-a gun.  Post from Tribune cleared it all up.  I will be given 2 editions today, Tues and Wed.  People, electric, and transportation kinda messed things up.

Never have I not had my paper! that I remember.  Long ago, long time subscriber of the SunTimes, about 10? years ago they stopped publishing.  Had to switch to the Trib.  Both papers though were always waiting outside when I left about  6 am for the city.  But I had to follow my drill.  Snow, rain, temp, holidays, always had my paper.  It might be late, but it was always here.  (Good thing was it did start me following the other side of issues because of their editorial bias/slant.  But knowing both sides of any issue made me wiser.)

BTW Regarding all the prodding of the ice cream pics, believe it or not, made me schedule my very first visit to Whippy.  Really!  Passed it many times alone in the last 12 years with the meetings/discussions held at Luther college.  Seriously, we never stopped, never went back.  Lisa is already one up on me for '24.  Night temps are getting low, I'll have to make it for lunch.   ::)  ::)  ::)  ::)  ::)

Good Morning Beakers

Puff - I checked all of the Weather Underground sites near you and all of them were under 1 inch.  All sites are about 1 - 1.5 miles from the airport in all directions.  In contrast, we had about a 1 inch variation on that storm in a 3 mile circle.  So, it is possible that you got hit with a very wet cell. ;)

We have several days of under 80 temps - love it...

I spent last evening dealing with a non working freezer.  On line info, showed my model has a known issue of thermostat failure.  So found a similar unit available in stock across town, so went and bought a replacement.  Plugged it in and no work - determined I had a broken GFCI outlet that feeds power to the freezer outlet.  The outlet had broken apart.  Plastic pieces fell out when I removed the cover.  Another trip to a store for a new outlet, replacement resulted in the old freezer working fine.  So now I have to return the new one.  ::)  Fortunately the only thing that had thawed was the bread - all of my frozen water bottles and meat were still frozen. :)

Also my old van has an engine issue - running rough, so need to get that looked at.

Tsk & Puff - Here are the preliminary storm survey results from the NWS Chicago Office (as of 11 PM CDT 07/16/24).
11 confirmed tornadoes as of last night from the 07/15 derecho. 

It sounds like the whole page will be updated in the upcoming days.
Additional tornado survey results may be added later today. 

Click the Tornado Tab for more details.
https://www.weather.gov/lot/2024_07_15_Derecho

I plotted what the NWS has so far surveyed on this map. Click around on it for details.
Puff check the 1st 3 EF1's on the left side list.
It looks like that EF1's path 'hopped, skipped and jumped' right over Darien.   :o

And I must say again this is a mighty sweet looking forecast for all of the ATF attendees.
I'd imagine this forecast is not typical for Decorah land at this time of year .. what say ye OG and Puff ?

Does anyone know what the Paddle route on the UIR is this year?  ie Put in/Take out.
I was going to check the flow gauges. 

Temps not cracking the 80's through the weekend.    :) :) :)

Not many river monitors on the Upper Iowa - the closest to Decorah is at Freeport.  Current level is 9.1 water depth and stable.  Freeport is about 1 mile downstream from the WalMart...  Stations upstream run from 4 to 5 ft from Kendallville to Decorah.  This is about mid range on depth - much of this area has a flood level of 10-12 ft.  Should make for an enjoyable float as long as there are not any trees laying over across the channel.

The temps are going to be about 5-8 degrees below average.

Thank you OG.

I had to drill down on the ATF float on the UIR for this year as it's more to the NE of DE than in years past.

"The book Paddling in Iowa by Nate Hoogeveen recommends a minimum of 5.0 feet at Kendallville and 2.25-3.25 feet at Decorah for enjoyable trips".

https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/DEHI4 _ UIR @ Decorah at 2.76 ft as of last look.

It will be a beautiful float on that stretch of the UIR for sure come Friday weather wise if the water level holds above 2.5 ft. 

Enjoy this magical stretch of the UIR for those that partake.  :D

Hi Beakers!

Safe travels to Puff, Oldguy, and All heading to/from ATF/Decorah over the next few days! The weather sounds divine!

Personally, based on Lisa's gnat report, I would include in my pocket a lightweight procedure mask (they're the blue ones, usually) to put on at times while outside in the very buggy areas, since they aren't really a tight fit, and it won't be hot, and they could go a long way toward keeping gnats out of the nose and mouth. Ugh on the gnats. I would keep sunglasses on to help keep them out of my eyes, at least a bit maybe.

I want to go to Whippy Dip!  :D  But I've been making the rounds at the doctor offices recently instead.  ::)  Mostly just lots of screenings - catching up on a lot of stuff I have put off too long. So far, all is negative, including some more lab results I got today. Yay. Still have some outstanding screening and diagnostic type tests scheduled/to be scheduled. Fingers crossed.

Clynn, I made an Ebay purchase today, as a guest buyer. I didn't create an account since it's not a place I shop often. I think I have only ever made 1 other Ebay purchase, and that was eons and eons ago. I'm hoping the seller will turn out to be as trustworthy and reliable as you are! I hope your trip is going well. I'm thinking of your mom, aunts, sisters, and well, you and your whole family! Hugs.

Lisa, I bet that was scary in the hotel during the severe storms! - a derecho and tornadic weather? That wasn't on your itinerary!! Thank goodness you were safe!

Lani, I love that video of the butterflies emerging from those cocoons! Love the pics from Brooks Falls. Grazer sure is easy to spot and identify!  ;D  I'm holding out hope for Otis to make it back again this year. We''ll see... seems like I remember he was a late arrival last year, due to slow going and rests along the way. I know he is really old, and who knows how many more spring return trips to the falls he will make. It just won't be the same without him.  :-*

Lori, I think I can smell those sweet, ripe peaches from here!

Phyl, I have always loved those colorful little Gouldian Finches.  :-*


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

Good Night. Peace. Out.

Good Evening Beakers....

Another buggy day in DE, but a nice cool one with lots of sun. 

Baz - LOL, you are funny.  One of my friends suggested I get this to wear at ATF.  I hope the rest of your screenings and test are negative. 
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a7/7c/e2/a77ce20b441b5a59cafe2b1a7de67da6.jpg)

Phyl - The finches are so pretty!  Hope all was ok with your bone density test.

Puff - You will need a light jacket.  I had a light hoodie on most of the morning.   

Lani - Thanks for the pics from Brooks Falls.

oldguy - Do you know how I can find out the size of my fridge?

tsk - I am going to be heading to N4 (Mom &DM2's) nest tomorrow. Was waiting on Glogdog to arrive, as she wanted to go too. 

Puff & oldguy, safe travels!

Good night, everyone!

Lisa - most fridges have a label on the inside of the freezer door that gives details on model, size and safety help.  If no label, there is a easy way to calculate the cu. ft.

Grab a tape measure and measure the width, depth and height of the inside of your refrigerator in inches. Multiply the numbers together (W x D x H) and divide the total by 1728 to get the cubic feet - do this for each  - freezer and refrigerator - and add together.  This is easier than moving your fridge out to read the info on the serial number plate on the back of the fridge.

Gnats!  Of course you cannot go to the whippy dip  for an ice cream either!   Bone density!  Ahhh, i stopped the tests  years ago when I did not like the available drugs for  treatment!   I should however have someone empty the top shelves in the kitchen as I can no longer reach the items I put there!  A problem  shared by several of my geriatric  friends!

Sorry Phyl!  No harm meant,  if it was on the bone density it was just what I did and nothing you should do!  To explain my decision on bone density testing, Inwas advised by two dentists, in two different states, not to take the first medication.  They both  explained that the bone growth that developed from the first medication was fake bone and that it did not have a blood supply, etc in it!  Because of this  they were unable to cure an infection in the bone in the mouth.   They strongly advised me not to take it!  I discussed this with my pcp and  said i did not see any sense in the test if I wasn’t going to treat a bone loss condition!  He agreed !   Too late to change the  plan now! Ear well and exercise , try nor to fall.   I have not checked the meds lately
 Did not catch the comparison but you are right! We are luckier in many ways!  Some nor so much!  Have a good day!

TSK I've been thinking of a way to modify my diet to  fill in the 'gaps' on calcium. I don't eat dairy cheese I eat soy based cheese
slices and shreds. As you know soy doesn't provide calcium so I've been going a long time with only that from milk , multi vite.

Puff arrived safely to DE this afternoon.  I had come back early to the room, and she was still out talking with the other ladies. 

oldguy - Thanks, I need to give that a try, and see if I can figure it out. I have the manuals for the fridge, but do not see any size, and also have tried to search on internet using the model/serial number and nothing comes up.

Lani - Hellgate kiddos are getting big!  Is Aly still there?  Hope you are enjoying your time.

tsk - I was up by pavilion this morning, and here comes a lil boy with my stylish hat on!  ;D He said, it works great! 

((Phyl)) - So sorry to hear that bone density test didn't go well. 

kb - Hope you have not had anymore electric outages.

karen - I have not see HM or HD up close and personal, but have seen a BE fly over the bluffs and N2B area twice since I have been here.  I am assuming it was one of them in the territory.  You and Piper doing ok?

Hi Beakers!
I wish we had more rain today, our AC stopped working this morning. :P
We've been very lucky this past ten years in this home. It was a hot, humid and long day
and right now our home is a comfortable 87 degrees. Windows open and hopefully
it'll cool down soon. It took us awhile, but someone will come tomorrow morning. Talons crossed
it's repairable.

Phyl, sorry about your bone density test... I had one of the clothes pin bag for 30+ years when we lived in Kansas... thanks for info about the Full Buck Moon. It's a clear starry and moonlit night here. Beautiful sunset.

Tsk, Rip Bob Newhart, a nice man, great shows. Thanks for ellie video.

Lisa, Aly will be here till next Friday... Cute hat..... Say Hi to Puff!  ;D

Baz, yay, no cavities! LOL! sweet pics, beautiful area.

Kb, sorry about the links, I did see the story of the baby elephant rescue and the poor mama they had to sedate. Glad there was a happy ending.... sweet mama and baby Koala.

Good night!

PHYL  Like your TGIF peeps.

KAREN   Today and tomorrow our town has its " Taste of..." going on so Tim and I went and got our lunch.  Tolerable weather and not raining nor crowed at this time.  Walked about 2 blocks to get there.

BL    :D :D :D  I see LISA Thanks for the shots.

LANI   They got the perfect music to go with the dancing bird  LOL

Hi Beakers!  :)

Lani, LOL on the dancing cockatoo in the video of the url you included in your post!! "I like to move it, move it!"  ;D ;D Cute!! Ugh on your A/C going out!! I hope it's something simple. Sometimes the tube where the condensation at the air handler is supposed to drain down a pipe to the outside of your house gets stopped up and just needs to be cleared of any gunk in it, and then the A/C can be reset and run again. I don't know if you have that kind of system, but I hope it's something easy and inexpensive like that - checking the drip pan to see if it's full can help because they usually have an automatic shut-off if it gets too full to avoid an overflow... most of that kind are in the attic, I think. If the drip pan fets full, it's usually because its drain line got clogged. Anyway... good luck and hope it's back in working order soon!!

TSK, yes, RIP Bob Newhart. I loved him, and his TV shows! Oops, you had a typo - he was 94 years old! Nice long life for him - and was able to stay active and engaged throughout. I guess the last I saw him on TV was maybe in his part on The Big Bang. Yum on the Tasting outing! Yeah, my Littlest Greatniece and her Baby Bro and Fam are a long way from home in those pics. Your picture of the ice cream cone made me think about the Whippy Dip... also a long way from home.  ;D

BL, thanks for the ATF cam shots. I see Lisa in the 2nd pic. Did Tig go this year? I'm thinking not.

Lisa, thanks for letting us know Puff arrived safely. LOL on the kid wearing your fashion statement hat!

Oldguy, definitely get the hat!!  :D

Phyl, turkey dinner last night sounds good! I had some broiled shrimp on mixed fresh salad greens with a diced roma tomato and light mayo concoction, steamed fresh yellow squash, and reheated leftover okra - extra slimy for Lani!  tee hee...  ;) ;) ;) Tonight I'm having baked chicken breast with some more of those fresh mixed salad greens, leftover steamed squash, and I'm baking a sweet potato, too.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: tsk34 on July 19, 2024, 06:22:42 PM

BAZI  Yes you are right.  My proofreading went right over that one!!!  Bob Newhart lived a wonderfully long life. Followed him from his stand-up days.   How are you liking your new frig??  I laughed out loud at that last photo of Baby Bro - His outfit is enjoying the days activities as well.  His red hair is something else.

KAREN   They block off streets in town and venders set up there.  You buy tickets and food items cost a certain amt of tickets.
At one stand I had spring rolls and Tim had goyza - like a dumpling/potsticker.   Then we split "loaded fries"  LOL  Imagine a loaded baked potato only substitute fries. Topped with melted cheese bacon onions and sour cream.  What's not to like.  ;D  The owner was very chatty and turns out he runs the kitchen at the local junior college for 14 years now..  Makes his own fries, caters, will make anything.  Got his card - Could come in handy LOL  He's also a retired cop!

Baz Pip & I are loving the pics of the "greats" rocking the P.C.T.  Huge smiles.

My knees and I thru-hiked the PCT from S to N in the snow uphill both ways back in 1985.   ;)

It was an adventure I'll never ever forget.
It was so different from the A.T.

Exactly what healthy well rounded kids and there grups should strive to do in this environment.
Being enrobed in just mother nature outside of 4 walls for any period of time changes ones perspective.   

Tell them I really wanted a pair of those cool Velcro hiking boots way back then but my fellow backpackers of the era would have ..

And don't think for a second I didn't see the firm outdoor grasp of the Cheetos bag there in the wind.   

Yeah they are so old we ate them on that very trail back then too.

From near Mt Shasta, CA we assaulted a trail magic left cached big bag of Cheetos.

And we know who you are & we thank you really. Saved our bacon that stormy night.   :-*

It really freaks me out as I know exactly where there is.  :)

Lani luv the dancing cockatoo, Twitter post w/ tune LOL; soooo the A/C's fixed or did I miss 'something' ?

Baz tonight is Chinese take out; awww Lil G. N. and  Baby Bro looks like he's really enjoying that sand; hope that red hair never fades.

Tsk that baked potato ---mouth watering

Good Evening Beakers

Oldguy arrived safely to ATF this afternoon, and guess what....he had on my fashion hat! 

oldguy - I wish I had read this post early this morning, I would have told you to pick me up a hat.   ;D

Lani - So sorry about the AC.  I hope you can get it repaired soon.  Will say hi to Puff for you.  Have fun with Aly.  :)

tsk - You food sounded delish!

karen - You need to get a fashion hat for sitting outside.  :D

BrokenLug -  Thanks for posting the pic.

Phyl - Your nails sound like they are lovely.  Pretty good night pic. 

baz - Great pics of Punkin and Baby Bro...looks like they are having a great time.  LOL, extra slimy!

Night, everyone!

Lisa, you might have to get Oldguy to ship you one of those hats to have for the next ATF! Thanks for letting us know he got to ATF safe and sound.

Karen, get Oldguy to ship you one of those hats, too!

TSK, yeah, Baby Bro's clothes are clean in the 1st pic in that series, then later, his clothes tell the tale of the day's adventures. LOL. It sounds like you and Tim had some yummy food, and you made a catering connection, too!

Phyl, I was already drooling just thinking about the Spring Rolls that TSK got at her town's "Taste" fun. Then you went and got Chinese takeout. YUM!

BrokenLug, true that! Our whole famdamily is the be out-of-doors type. I'm happy our family's youngest generation is following suit. Sorry you didn't get to rock the velcro hikers back then.  ;)  Yeah, I noticed Baby Bro keeping his Cheetos close.  ;D  My Littlest Greatniece turned 6 years old this past Spring, and she has always loved being outside - ever since getting to go for her very 1st trip outside, ever - when she was 3 months old, after only ever being inside in a hospital (born premature at 2 lbs 10 oz). Her 1st trip outside was only to a rooftop garden of the hospital, but it was outside - a bellweather day! She got to go home from the hospital 2 weeks later, and she's been loving being outside ever since. Yay!!  :-*

Hi Beakers!

Tsk, I'm such an early riser Aly will join us on our walk if she's up. This is her vacation I want her to sleep in when she can, but Sadie gets so excited to go for our walks, that she'll run down to Aly who is sound asleep and jump on her! She wants Aly and Dewey to come join the pack! ... "Tastes of" Sounds like a fun time and delicious one too! Enjoy!

Brokenlug, great pics of our Decorah buddies! I think I see Lisa!  ;D ... our AC needs a new program control, it wasn't going to be available until Monday. But, our AC guy said, he was driving to the valley in the morning and would pick one up, along with a few other equipment that just arrived in Phoenix. So, we should have AC by late tomorrow. A nice storm came through our area mid-afternoon, though it brought a lot of humidity, it cooled the temps down a bit. Whew!  ;D ... You and Pip have fun! ''

Baz, your dinner sounds delicious, even the extra slimy okra!   ;D ... I didn't know our AC had a program computer and that is what needs replacing. $1700 including labor.  :-\
your greats are having a blast! Fun pics, neat view, lots of streams to enjoy and love s'mores! What fun lil Bro is having and it's all over his clothes! Bless him! Oh to be young again!  :-* ... love your good night post. So true!  :-*

Karen, AC will be repaired by late afternoon! Today the temps was in the 90's, but a nice storm came through, including humidity, but it cooled the house down with a nice breeze coming through open doors and windows. It's 83 in the house and 74 outside. Not too bad.  ;D

Phyl, I'll try your bird link tomorrow. It's been a humid day, I fell asleep at my desk tonight, and just woke up. It's much cooler in the house, I can finish my post.

Karen "heart attack on a bun!" LOL!

Lisa, I hope we can see Oldguy in the fashion hat!  ;D .. I hope you're having a blast!  ;D

Good night!

It's after 11pm and they're still fishing at Brooks Fall!  8)

speaking of nature!...short article and just close the pop ups.  But, they also include gardening......

https://scitechdaily.com/critical-public-health-threat-deadly-fungus-discovered-in-commercial-soil-compost-and-flower-bulbs/

Recommend wearing an N95 mask with purchased soil and bulbs for immune compromised folks and other conditions...well...poop.

Morning all..heading out with Ollie soon the temps and humidity increasing fast.


and Oh poop: I noticed my severe alcoholic neighbor's huge ash tree (never treated) has a huge limb broken or rather bent and hanging precariously over my beloved roses, fence, cable wire etc..he may not even know. But will need to be taken off before our next wind storm or I won't feel safe gardening up on my terrace and concerned about Ollie as well as he can get up there even with my attempts to prevent him.

Will have to call the city forester Monday and ask for his help....I haven't spoken with him in over a decade and he therefore leaves me alone. Any break in that on my part would open up the peeping, harrassing, and other bad behaviors....argg.

Iris and Finn's kids are growing, flapping their wings, learning how to be independent without their parents. Even vocalizing for food or their parents!  ;D
7/20 While Iris was out selecting nesting material, Elder practiced with his wings. Soon the nest will host both chicks getting a lot of wing practice and Iris will view from the perch.

Tsk your yard looks very lush!  Cute baby squirrel!  I was almost over run with them but the population has decreased since my new neighbors cut down  most of their trees!   Hope your luncheon and gab fest was a success!

Phyl, enjoy the evening!  We had rain but very little!    Lots of thunder one day this past week but,, not a drop to drink as they say!

Howdy Beakers!

Lisa, have you posted any ATF pics yet anywhere that is not private member viewing only, by chance? On Forum or otherwise? I don't have access to any private parts of FB. TSK must've seen a pic of OG in the "fashion hat."  ;)

TSK, you didn't say where you saw the pic of OG in his new hat. Did I miss it somewhere here? What a sweet little baby squirrel. Don't guess he can actually get to the nectar, so wonder why he's going there more than one time, if he has. Wishful, maybe.  :D His Mommy must've told him to climb up to anything hanging in the yard, in hopes of finding something yummy to eat. Nectar isn't going to siphon out of that feeder into his mouth on its own. You need to give him a straw. LOL. Great picture!! You had the whole gang there vsiting today! Fun! Have you watched any of the British Open? I only caught a few minutes of it today.

Phyl, there you go talking about Chinese food again. LOL. Making me want some so bad! How did you know Lani's A/C was fixed already? Last I saw, she said the repairman was coming at noon. Did I miss a later report from her? I sure do hope it's working by now!

Lani, what an expensive A/C repair!! Wow! I don't know about that - my A/C definitely is too old to have that kind of equipment. It's holding up so far, but any day could be it's last, so I don't like to talk about it - don't want to jinx it. I hope you and Aly and Mike and S&D and M&N are stretched out lolling in the icy air now!!

Sorry for those who have difficult neighbor situations. I am so lucky in that department... knock on wood. Have had some doozies in the past though, and it could change on a dime. Fingers crossed!

Have a Good Night, Beakers.

I haven't eaten since breakfast. I've been busy all day doing things I didn't know I was going to need to do. Now I am sooo hungry, and it's late in my time zone!  ::)  Going  to head to the kitchen now and see what I can scare up on short notice.

Good Morning Beakers!   Have no idea why Piper and I are up at this dark hour!  Wow!   Had a little less than 5 hours of sleep!   Temp is 78 and humidity is 95%!  Rain expected at 4 pm!  We will see how much lands on this patch of earth! 
Safe travels to Clynn and Kelsey Today!
OldGuy, as .Baz said you were definitely  rocking that fashion hat!   Hope it did the job!
Lani, fantastic on the ac fix!  Some big kitty in your good night post!   Do not know how you and Sadie get up so early to walk!
Going for a second cup!

Awe, green bee eaters!....

Happy Sunday all.

Can't hardly move >:( still climbing up my thighs from a sitting position...for some dang reason mowing aggravated it....best to rest for a few ;)

thunderstorms possible in the next few. Crossing my fingers my neighbor's huge limb stays up in the sky till I get a chance to inform city and insurance company before I'm held liable for any possible damage.

Hope everyone had a pleasant evening and a good night's rest.

It rained all evening and all night  Woke up to every circuit breaker having popped. So trudged down stairs to reset at the box
in garage.     For which we are most, most, most  thankful .



Oh my Lisa !  So that’s what that hat looks like.  OG looks ever so stylish / dapper for a day out bald eagle sighting. Tks for snap.

OG that ‘s  a really nice beard and stach. Looks like Jim’s too.

Lani magnificent lion, that Twitter account charges for subscribing—good thing ‘following’ is  ‘NOC”

CLynn/KelseyDrive safely you two. Hope everyone's fine.

Karen I was thinking of cutting down those Ribbon Elms that our squirrels adopted for a home. Now I'm sure I will.

Tig so glad that you're feeling better


KB hope you feel better.    For shame (Asian)  Green Bee eaters !  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_green_bee-eater (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_green_bee-eater)

BAZI   Had to go back and see what I said.  LOL  Because Lisa had mentioned OG was wearing the hat, it seemed there were lots of inquires about it. So I said - " Now look what you have done -meaning you're going to need to post a pic"  LOL    Hope to see some of the final round of the Open today.   Cute pic of big sis giving hugs  :D

LISA   Great pic.  I bet he was the most comfortable guy there!!!   Amy is doing well.  Her hair grew in curly and she looks great in short hair!! ( she is Tim's son's wife who had the ovarian cancer last year)

OLDGUY   You look very similar to my second cousin.  ;D

LANI   Magnificent lion  :o     Lulu is the only recent cat we've had who likes the tube treats. 

KB  Beautiful green on those bee eaters.

TIG   Great Corgi story  Thanks

PHYL   Funny wood owls  :D     Plus lots of additional wooden funnies  :)

This kitty looks just like my Maggie. And that  facial expression---- Especially when she's just woke from napping.


All my  recent cats  love the 'tube' treats.
But that's not why I posted the photo of Street Cat Bob.

Royal Albatross ~ LGK Returns To Feed & Preen TF 💕 7.21.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6B-a-UUO7I

Jul 21, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
It was another day of double feedings for TF with LGL coming in early in the morning and now LGK arriving later in the afternoon. Also today TFT had both BOK and WYL in to feed him so both chicks got fed by both parents!! Lucky chicks! 💕💞💕

LGK comes in from the right and TF runs to him wheeing with excitement! LGK feeds his hungry chick and then he stops to allopreen the top of his head. TF grew quiet while Dad was grooming him. Then LGK starts to leave, walking close to his nest and then to the center edge of the track. A black-backed gull lands next to TF - gulls follow parents feeding their chick because there might be some spillage of food on the grass for them to eat. LGK flies off over the sea and TF goes back to his spot on the right to garden. Thank you for watching!

ATF peeps on the bow of the La Crosse Queen Paddlewheel boat near Lock and Dam #7 on the Mississippi River.

WI/MN border about 47.2 mile NE of the Hatchery as the BE flies.

Heading upstream at river mile 702.5 right by the lock just before they U-Turned back downstream to the Queen's dock.
I don't think they were able to "lock thru" #7 this trip due to barges in the lock.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/zcw3BE9EN26w7vEY7

It looked like mighty sweet weather for the Captain’s Sunday Brunch cruise.   :)

Images taken from the Great Spirit Bluffs Cliff Cam on 07/21/24. Cliff cam to boat about 4,000 feet or 3/4 of a mile.

I have know Idea who is who, but I think LisaG is just to the left of the port side bow anchor in the 1st image ?   ;D

Do they have Mimosas on the Captain’s Sunday Brunch cruise .. inquiring Saturday late night types want to know ?  LOL  ;)

Hello Beakers

Got back home about 11:30 today - got caught up on my videos and now getting some photos ready to post.

The had with netting worked well on Friday - no see ums were abundant under the trees and in the tent.  https://www.google.com/search?q=no+seeums&rlz=1C1YTUH_enUS937US937&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
On Sat. we had a little breeze and it was not needed as much during the day.  For the meal at the tent - had to eat with it on... ::) so left it in the car - bugs were not bad thou.  The hat I have had for years to keep my ears and nose from sun burn when out side for activities like this, the netting was only $12 from a sporting goods store...  https://bens30.com/products/bens-invisinet-head-net

Dave brought his Gyrfalcon - https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Gyrfalcon/overview#

Kay brought Mr. Decorah as usual, but also a Barn Owl - https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Barn_Owl/overview

Brett and John talked about the Golden Eagle project.

List of eagles captured and transmittered for 2024 - all were found within about 40 miles of each other.

Map of their movements up to last week.  Green line is travel path and red lines in their hunting movements.  Some days they traveled up to 100 miles.  The surprise to them was that one went to the Yukon and another to the Hudson Straight - all previous releases went to the north shore of Nunavut.  There has not been any research on they eating habits in the far north, as it is almost impossible to get there.  But it is thought that they do not eat fish.

I will post more as I get them edited...

Low and slow at the hacienda this weekend we've been as Pip has some sort of hip injury that our Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Joe is evaluating.

Our Doctor. Joe the Joint has been on retainer since he & I went through grade & high School together.

We have laughed together several times as he and his wife are quite the trekkers in their own right.

We have occasionally crossed paths on our blue marble outings.   

We took 2 very different paths in life yet in the end we'll end up at the very same trail junction.

Pip and I keep bringing him ugly joint imagery and he keeps telling us to cut down on the downhill slope angle and that we're ruining his great work.

And then we smoke cigars dipped in fine brandy and just lament that joints were made to used.

She wanted to go to the Catskill cabin and ride the quads this weekend.
I won't be walking was the justification.

I'm no doctor but I have just enough wilderness medicine experience to make me dangerous.
I can tell well enough from the grimacing when it's time to take a break.

Pic of some of the ATF attendees by the retention pond at the hatchery this AM from the "Pavilion Cam".

About 9:45 AM CDT. 

Everybirdy wave and say EAGLES.    ;)   :D

Bummer - I had made it there on the 18th.  Didn't even know anything about the taking of the pics,
and I'm not sure why all were concerned about me getting there.  I've made the drive about 10 times now.  All was fine.  Both me and hot rod ready for another trip.  Let's see more of you next year? Super weather this year.  BTW this is sent from home PC which means I made it back home, too.  Nice time was had by all.

The boat trip was awesome😊

I hope everyone having aches and pains rests up and feels better soon.

Good Night, All. Peace.

OLDGUY   Thanks for the pics.  So very interesting about the golden eagle study!   I think John made a smart move in getting involved with that project.

Good morning, beakers,

I’m on my drive home.

Phyl - I was right in the front on the left-hand side, black shirt, tan pants to the left of the long ramp that goes straight out the front of the boat.

Kb- I didn’t notice the water being that high, because the houses that sit along the river, it didn’t look high along their property.  .

Baz - The brunch was delicious. They had scrambled eggs, sausage, mini donuts, ham, turkey, garlic mashed potatoes, and some kind of seasoned baby carrots.

I was nearly finished with my post and Harley put his paw on the keyboard and POOF, it was gone! Kelsey and I got home last evening, Erin and Family came by to see us, pick up their chocolate milk and show us their new puppy! Had a good time at Mom's but glad to be home. She somehow misunderstood Erin when he was there in March. She thinks he told her that she had more internet speed than she needed so she had it lowered. He never said that. Never would he say too much speed. So the internet was really bad, had to keep running downstairs and resetting the router every 5 minutes so I gave up.  Aunt June doesn't look good to me but they said she looks much better than she did earlier. She has 3 more radiation treatments then hopefully she will start feeling better. She was so weak and thin...I hated seeing her like that.

Lani, I have tried to look through all the pages I missed, thanks for all the good updates! Beautiful Royal Albys, the litle sloths, Millie and Ama and our Hellgate family1  Hope you and Aly are having a wonderful time together!

Phyl, love those good morning figures! I'll open the 365 after I get this post done! Hope you read above why I am late this morning!

Lisa, thanks for the pic of oldguy! Looks like all are having a good time at the ATF! Great pics on FB! Have a safe trip home!

BL, I can sympathize with Pip on the hip pain! Y'all take care and thanks for the pics of the boat trip!!

Puff, glad you had a good drive to and from the ATF!

baz, glad to hear that you and your new fridge are on good terms! Thanks for the pics of the kids, always enjoy those. Especially Lil' Punkin and Lil' Bro!

oldguy, looks like you had a good time at ATF, great pic Lisa took of you! Love the hat!

Lisa, sounds like you had a great time at the ATF! Always good to get together with friends! Thanks for oldguy's pic!

tsk, glad to hear that Tim's DIL is doing good! Kelsey chickened out on riding the ferry, so we took a trip in the other direction, up to Casey and around there. Kelsey wanted to see the purple house there.

I hope your A. June is doing better daily. The new puppy , 'Rosie' is so cute. Easy to tell Bella loves her a lot.   I think Tig pet sits a little dog named 'Rosie'.
Oh that squirrel !
Tks for enlarge ment of 'the purple house'  it's just the right shade.  Also tks for updates on Hellgate and DNN's Mr & Mrs. North ---do wonder if the kids have moved out.

Lori the Blondies look yummy. And, those lounging critters, LOL;  Hope all's well on your end.

Lisa tks for checking in and for your placement in the paddle wheel photo. I'll take another look.  Drive safely.  :)

Fiery-throated hummingbird


No. #3 of the Most Colorful Birds On Earth

The fiery-throated hummingbird (Panterpe insignis) is a species of hummingbird found in the forested highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama. Its 4-inch-long (10 cm) body is covered in iridescent feathers, which fade from dark orange at the base of the throat to yellow and bluish green on the belly and back, and to a shimmering royal blue on the breast and crown. Although males are slightly larger than females, both sexes look alike and sport a long, slender, black bill with a pink base that they use to feed on the nectar of small flowers, shrubs and trees.

Lani - Jeff and the kitties were happy to see me.   :D

oldguy - Glad that you made it home safely.  Ugh, and this is why I hate my pic taken, squinty eyes, and making faces!   ;D

Phyl - Glad you found me.  :D  Pretty Fiery-throated hummingbird.

((tig))- Sorry about your afib experience. 

clynn - Welcome back home!  Aww, what a cute pup!  Bella sure looks like she loves it.

karen -  ;D ;D

tsk - It was a long drive yesterday.  I made great time zipping thru Chicago, but there was a major accident on the Ohio turnpike that shut 80 down.  Three lanes of traffic merging into one lane, that had to detour on an exit to go around the accident.  It made my trip 2 hours longer than expected.

OLDGUY  "Synth" plus other words I had not heard of before.  Lunch time video!  Two cats in the bathtub  LOL    Awww  Poor Santi.  Loved the music he played  ;D   That 's the problem with so many cats.  Who's the culprit?    There's our beautiful LISA!

tsk, is that your breakfast? LOLOL! I did get my Prairie Farms vanilla ice cream at Mom's, it's so darn good! Even the light is wonderful! Do you get PF where you live? I bought some of their rainbow sherbet, it was also so good! Wish we had it here!

Phyl, oh those crows!  How cute! We are at 66 right now, heading for 86 today and into the 90s by Sunday. Mom also has AFib, she takes Eliquis. Becky says a lot of people have AFib and don't know it. I guess it's not something they routinely check for. Hope Jim is doing well, and, of course you and Maggie too!

Lisa, I think your picture is lovely! I don't like mine taken either, I am a squinter also! I ran into a lot of roadwork it seemed like. The huge Iowa City/Coralville mixmaster project is finally done, that was a 5 year or more project! (OG, correct me if I am wrong...) Big project going on in Champaign/Urbana, my cousin gave me a way to avoid it this time. It's always good to be back home again!

Lani, I asked Erin the same question, what does Rome (the big Boxer) think of 2 pound Rosie? He thinks Rome doesn't know what she is! He is curious! Their 2 cats are bigger than she is! I also am so happy when I open the Hellgate cam, to see the kids doing so well and Iris being such a good Mom! Thank you Finn, for stopping by and meeting Iris!  Are you having a good time with Aly? If I remember right, Mike is out of town?

oldguy, Maru & Miri are box cats, Hana not so much! Will watch the other videos later, thanks!

karen, we had a short heavy rain yesterday afternoon, Ed was across town, no rain at all! The Mississippi and Illinois rivers were both full to the brim! We had a good rain Friday at Mom's. Erin said Rosie isn't yapping yet and that Bella gave her a Squishmallow to play with.

Found my old hair cutting lady last week!  Went to the salon as they have not answered the phone,  📞.  No receptionist!    Have an appointment today at 1!   Washing my hair in the shower as I do not want to put my head back in the shampoo bowl and tempt vertigo! They had be on their computer from over 2 years ago!   Lol!
Lisa, I am happy your only involvement in the Ohio wreck was the delay!
Have never driven that route!  Went from Chicago to Asheville  and from there to DC.  Trips back to chicago were by air!   Good picture!  Thanks OG

TSK Ice cream for breakfast? Well I never. LOL  :)

CLynn Hellgate kids are growing up fast.  And, cows grazing in DNN field. Tkds for updates.

Karen I can understand not having the 'full' wash and cut. Although, bending my head back or forward never bothered me with my
BPPV ---it's always the rapid getting up out of a chair and spinning around in different directions.  Hope you have a
nice salon visit.

tsk, PF is Prairie Farms, I didn't type it out because I was lazy... They had 2 dogs, the youngest one died last year (cancer) and the one they have is getting older. I think they wanted to switch to a smaller dog. They still have the 2 cats. Otherwise it makes no sense to me either...  ::)

Lisa, I went to bed at 10 :00 at Mom's! I used to go at midnight but have switched to 11:00.  Kelsey normally goes to bed at 9:00, but she won't go to bed without me when we are at Mom's. and I refused to go at 9:00 and held out until 10:00! Yes, at Hellgate there are 7 days difference in when the eggs were laid (Lani, correct me if I am wrong!)  Seems like there should have been one in between Elder and Younger, wonder what happened there!

Phyl, good 365! 

This is how tiny a hummingbird's nest is! ❤

This is the vault at the end of the world where all the existing seeds on the planet are kept. It is located in the Svalbard archipelago, Norway, about 1,300 kilometers from the North Pole. Opened in 2008, this underground warehouse is designed to preserve 4.5 million seeds of crop plants from around the world, acting as insurance against the loss of genetic biodiversity caused by natural disasters, conflict and climate change. So, in case the world is ever destroyed and you are the only survivor, you know where to go.

Hummer eggs look like  the 'Tic Tac' breath mints . But, in a mossy cup. So cute and fragile

Phyl, cute owl and crow decor.... sweet baby Barn Swallow, hanging tight on the reed.

Clynn, Mike is in Houston and travels to New Orleans tonight, he'll be home on Thursday.... It's been wonderful to have Aly home. This week she's working from our home, taking care of her clients on zoom, and I've been getting more things done. Today I spray painted the wrought iron patio furniture.... awww Bella gave Rosie one of her Squishmallows. Rome and Miss Rosie, hopefully, they'll be best buds. I'm sure Rome misses the other pup.... And Rosie will be a great small dog pet for Bella too.  ;D .. I wonder when Dr. Green will band Hellgate chicks. They banded Louis/Starr's chicks... interesting vault in Norway... sweet hummer eggs, so tiny.

Karen, I hope your salon visit went well.

Oldguy, Miri has become just as good in getting on the swing as Maru.

Lani, Mike will be home Thursday, glad he will get a little more time with Aly! I know you are loving having her there, and Sadie loves the time with her best friend Dewey! Hope you are all having the best time! Wow, a lot of bears at Brooks Falls! I need to watch the cam for a while, fun seeing a catch!  I have a few items outside that I need to spray paint, I love how it makes things look new!

baz, hope you got a good nights sleep!

oldguy, thanks for the info on Prairie Farms chocolate milk! Never thought of looking for it at Kum & Go (still can't say Kum & Go with a straight face...)! Costco carries the white milk only. I wish all of their products were here in Iowa. Our Hy-Vee has been carrying their cream cheese. They also have wonderful ice cream and a lot of other dairy items! Anderson-Erickson doesn't do ice cream, I wonder why? Love Maru & Miri on the swing!

Phyl, thanks for the Cornell All About Birds article, I will read it after the Munchkins are gone this afternoon!

A bit over  3/4" from yesterday's downpour.

LANI   So Mike finally got to go to Houston.  Power restored.  Home tomorrow.  I have two 4' iron sunflowers that every two years I need to re spray paint - red, yellow green.  Quite a taping job  LOL

PUFF  I think you will get today's rain which will stay south of me.

CLYNN  Proper gloves when handling sharks definitely a good procedure!   :o Hope employee will be OK.   Years ago Tim and I took a drive to Starved Rock during the winter and that's where I watched eagles on the river.  Had to climb an ice covered stairway to to it tho.( Tim sat in the car)   LOL   Really need to go back and do some of the hikes.  It's a bit over an hour away.

We've been getting a good drenching the past few days. More today as well---no need to hand water that's for sure.
  Think we need a rain gauge. LOL

Jim and I have our annual eye exam this afternoon. Jim taking off early to pick me up .
He got his car back from the body shop yesterday afternoon.  and it looks lovely. And, all  'Spic N' Span' inside --looks like new!

OH! Just realized I never mentioned .  A long story ---to make it short...While at work last month a gal had hit his car in the parking lot, right at his shift change. She really creamed his passenger corner-headlight too.
So, when he walked out---he found her putting a note on his windshield w/ insurer and contact info. Etc.

Hey, thanks Lisa I do believe that's the only solo shot ever posted in forum.  Hair does look white - I always thought it was more of a grey/ash. (Didn't even give it a blow style that morning.)  Would have been a more interesting capture to have more of the hotrod.    8)

Happy Day, Beakers!

I got 7 whole hours of sleep last night. Ahhh... Like Zzzzzz's from Heaven.

Lani, thanks for the pics of the busy bears at Brooks Falls, and the Black Bear Study pics, too. I love seeing them all, and the news of cubs, too. I hope there's some promising news of Otis soon. Glad Aly can work from your home this week and enjoy a nice long visit. Hope Mike's business trip is going well, and he will be home soon!

Clynn, thanks for all the nature and nest pics. The osprey kids are doing great! Love the pics of Rosie, the new puppy, and Bella is putting lots of loving hugs on her!  :)  Rome is checking wee little Rosie out, and deciphering "what the heck is that?!?" LOL.

Phyl, I face-planted into my pillow last night - no injuries. LOL! I'm glad Jim's repaired car looks all new again. Thanks for the GSB cam shots. I'm not sure if that is supposed to be U-90, or U-09, since I see both references. But glad to see Newman has company. Newman is looking very handsome - great to see him still there.  :-*

Karen, maybe I missed it - did you get your haircut yet? That's great that you found your previous stylist!

TSK, sounds like you've been getting some good rain for your gardens. What's the status of your Monarch eggs and caterpillars? Have they all emerged from their cocoons yet and been able to be released? Are you tagging them before release this year?

Lisa, thanks for sharing your photos of people, places, and critters from around Decorah, and of many of the ATF attendees. Your photo of Puff before she left is a great shot, exactly the way you captured it! Thanks for sharing!  :)


Waving to All! Have a great day!

karen - Thanks  :)  It has been really humid here today, as it has sprinkled on and off all day, so far.

Puff - I got the back-end of the hot rod in there, kinda.  ;D  I wouldn't say your hair is gray, its a pretty shade of white gray hair.

two days of a full hour in the pool has helped loosen my back/hips. Yay.
I spent 3 hours releasing the netting from service berries and then pruning my neighbor's overhanging bush and our raspberries.

Then, it was bill paying time. Long story short... Excel goofed and sent two separate bills for electric and gas. It all got figured out. Phew.

KB   Awwww  cute

BAZI  So important a good night's sleep is to functioning the next day. Glad you got a good one.  I only tagged one year - Had only about 6 or 7 as I remember so didn't think it was worth the cost but fun to do and easy.   This year is terrible.  I have released only 6 monarchs ( I have 1 in chrysalis to make 7) and I go looking for eggs every other day.  Gets old when you don't find any.  I see a few monarchs crazily flitting around but do not land on leaves - males?     The Mexico migrating monarchs should be hatching in late August or early to mid sept.  I'm running out of time.   Think I found an egg today - very tiny.  We shall see.

TIG   There is a gal in our shawl group who is up every AM 5:30 and goes swimming.  She loves it!!  Comes home and walks her dog for an hour.  She has all kinds of new energy.  Muscles and joints all feel so much better

Puff hopefully that record of tornadoes in a single day (07/15/24) for the Chicago CWA stands for a long time. 

Any rated tornado even unknown can really make for a bad day if your abode falls in it's direct path.     

A Cat 4 Hurricane nearly wiped me off the face off the map.
A FL Keys home "carpet" 18' up on very solid piers.  24' above MSL.
A fully charged electric chainsaw very ready to cut from the attic roof a hatch to the beam of the house.
Cables in place way beforehand we 'click' into. 

A ND tornado lifted my semi straight up in the air 10' and spun it around 180° and plopped it right back down on the black things.

Several Micro-bursts that would put the above to shame.

Lightning that kicked my ticker in CO at elevation.   

Habboob's that wood choke a Camel.

Pyroclastic flows I own.

Outside of 4 walls is owned by her and sometimes we go outside to check her out.

She can be so astonishing we cant help ourselves but look.

Lani, love your good night pic! So sweet! Mike will be home today! When does Aly head back to Medford?  Thank you for the Bear Study, Jewel 15 years old! And we were with her when she had her first cubs, Fern & Herbie in 2012! Lots of salmon fishing at Brooks Falls!

Phyl, good day with the Munchkins! Four more Wednesdays until school starts! Talon in 4th grade, Bella in 1st! Rosie stayed home with Mom!

tsk, hope you had a good dinner for Barb's birthday! You haven't seen the usual amount of Monarchs, I haven't seen the usual amount of Cardinals here. Whatever it is it can't be good.

baz, glad to hear you were able to catch up on your sleep! Love the saying in your picture 'A grateful person is rich in contentment. An ungrateful person suffers in the poverty of endless discontentment.' So true!  And a beautiful landscape as well! When I picked the Munchkins up yesterday morning Rosie was outside with them. She was all wet on the tummy and paws from hopping around in the wet grass! So darn cute!

Puff, I think the picture of you is great!  Loved seeing pics of oldguy, Lisa and you!

LANI   How cute is that - Puppy " put to bed"  ;D ;D.   Enjoy your last day(s) with Aly.  Such a nice break for you both.

CLYNN   I think Snoopy was the best cartoon ever written.  God bless Charles Schultz.  Your house gets transformed at munchkin time.  Were S&S hiding?
Cardinal pair we have and just love it when they sing.     Talk about humbling.  That road among the redwoods is beautiful.

What I'm thinking about this morning is . . .  If y'all would come to AFT your could meet all of us eagle fans in person.  OG, Lisa, Amy, John, Sandy, Glog, Linda, all the group is really a fun up-close-and-personal fun group.  (Sorry I'm short some names - these would be the ones I saw the day I left.)  I'm guessing about 60 still there on Sunday morning.  Quite a few had opted for the Sunday buffet on the boat on the Mississippi at that time.  Only ones who were missing were the nesters (eaglets).  They left out early for training to be eagles this year.   

I think more of the bench sitters should put ATF on their to-do calendar for 2025 - July 17.  Be there or be square!  Ooops, I think I just dated myself.

Morning all...

Recovery for me is so slow I am having Andrew come mow my steep back hill, he said yeah...

Was watching a clip of mid air re-fueling of airplanes this am....so asked google when did that start?

Was shocked to read first was in 1923....I don't recall watching any historical movies of them showing that.
Even in WW2 apparently.

Curiosity got the best of me I guess.

Top Flat Track chick is 174 days old and weighs 10.5 kg at 10.57 am. His last weight 2 weeks ago, was 10 kg. WYL and BOK continue to feed their chick regularly.

Around 4:30pm TF relocated to the left of TFT. Then went walkabout a few hours after that and is now halfway down the hill.

Anan Wildlife Observatory Lower Falls and Caves
Tongass National Forest, Wrangell, Alaska

Live cam
https://explore.org/livecams/tongass-national-forest/anan-black-bear-camera-2

Anan Wildlife Observatory in the Tongass National Forest hosts one of the largest pink salmon runs in Southeast Alaska. Anan is a world class bear viewing site with the distinction of being one of the few places in the world where both black and brown bears fish in close proximity. It was established on the lands of the traditional summer fish camps of the Stikine Tlingit and was unique because the large number of salmon made it possible to have several clans sharing one fish camp. The Forest Service has maintained a trail there as part of the Anan Creek Public Service Recreation Site, which included two wildlife observation shelters, starting as early as 1942. The abundance of salmon attracts large concentrations of black bears,bald eagles, harbor seals, and a number of brown bears. All this activity makes for exciting viewing.

The Bears of Anan

LANI    the royals are looking more adult all the time.   Enjoy your family meal together.  They don't happen too much any more  ;) ;)

Shall get me by this time of year another 7-10 days..

Lani  tks for the Royal Albie update--Top Flat looks 'healthy' and lovely in white--enjoyed reading about them. Bears too.
Glad everyone will be together tomorrow even if for a day. Safe travels to all.   Oh yeah---what's for chow?  ;D
Peeked in on the Bear Cam at Anan there's a c ub/adult at the rocky base just standing there letting the watery foam
swirl 'Neath they bellies  and muddy bottom soak their paws.

Tsk the Arboretum is something  I'd do  ;), tks for size perspective. You look like you've been out for a bit ?  Really enjoyed the sculptures.

Lisa when in high school I did watch 'Soul Train' on Saturdays. Remember how the show opened ?   Classic Intro Soul Train 70's
https://youtu.be/NB8PPhQglwo (https://youtu.be/NB8PPhQglwo) I loved the high pitched whistle-like sound the singer did when singing 'soul'.   ;D




Larry/Dan were big on American Bandstand or as fans called the show, 'Bandstand'. That's where you learned the songs and the dance steps . So when I got older I watched it all the time.  Every now and then my girlfriend and I go stag to a dance.

CLynn I pronounce 'chamois'  the way the French do--- as it's etymology is  borrowed from Middle French chamois, from Late Latin camox, from Gaulish camox (5th c.)    Thaks for Hellgate snap that nest/chicks  look  great.  ;)

   With its rosy-red plumage and whistling song, the male of this species is one of North America's most striking songbirds. The southern species breeds as far west as California, as far north as Iowa, east to New Jersey, and winters as far south as Bolivia. Known for eating bees and wasps, this omnivore also feasts on fruits like blackberries, pokeweed, citrus, and bananas.  This  brilliant   Summer Tanager is a real wasp gobbler.  ;)

Lani - Aww, sleepy pup.  Hope you enjoyed your time with Aly while she was there.

clynn - Aww, Talon is growing up and maybe getting to that stage of not being excited for school.  I was always excited for the start of school....new supplies!  I still look thru the supplies when they first put them out.  Great job, Bella on the sign!

Puff - Morning/Afternoon  :)

Hi Lisa! Been here but I’m just now getting around to posting!    How is Snow White?

Yesterday I did some things , ordered in from Sam’s and took Piper for her rabies shot and am going to look for a new pediatrician for her!  This one will not give a 3 year vaccine!  He is kind of  a smart alec!   Watered plants in the backyard !
TodayI did laundry, pt, washed two large front windows and the door windows and ordered more groceries!    I did use the hose and windex  so I was not out with buckets, rags, etc!   Looks better but not perfect!   
Love the blues in Clynns
am post and the pictures of the kids!  Bella is really growing up!
Lani, I know you will miss Aly and Dewey!  So will Sadie!   Safe travels to them!   Happy Mike is home! 
Tsk, Good pictures of Morten's Arboretum  and thanks for all tge morning goodies!
Phyl ,  good Jims car has been repaired!

Remembering  our dear Bob Anderson  today .

"Bob Anderson passed away on July 27, 2015. While numerous tributes were written to celebrate and honor him, we wanted to publish the one we submitted to the North American Falconers Association to remember and share his legacy...
Bob was a great friend to people and birds of prey, an enthusiastic climber, a wonderful fly fisherman (he spent many hours fishing with his friend Johnny Clarine), a beer connoisseur, an avid reader, a thoughtful and thorough researcher, a great writer, a huge crossword puzzle fan, an exceptional cook, and someone who lived life to the fullest. All of us who knew Bob have at least one “Bob” story – honestly, most of us have a lot of them! We will think of our friend every time we see a falcon flying from a Mississippi cliff or hear falconers or fisherman sharing their stories. Bob, you are missed by people around the world. Thank you for your dedication, passion, and inspiration."

Good news... I saw a hummingbird at our honeysuckle while I was moving the sprinkler just now.

Good Caturday morning!  Thanks Tsk and Phyl for reminding Bob Anderson!  There is no doubt he was quite a man, do they say, for all seasons!

On a  different note, I was fortunate to tune into the end of the closing ceremony of the olympics and saw .celine Dion singing at the base of the lighted Eiffel tower!  What a beautiful setting  and absolutely stunning performance!   She looked and sounded amazing!  I cannot get it out of my mind and wish I could see it again!

Clynn, I wonder if  Louis has done a quick flyover to see how happy Iris is, without him?   What a success story!

Ugg, tig...so sorry. I'm sorry my neighbors are back home too....gone for 3 weeks which gave me the opportunity to experience what a normal neighborhood experience is again.

Out watering in this heat!...dew point of 70 and temps climbing to 90 plus...I was going to but had a few errands to run and we are not allowed to sprinkle after 11am.
Tomorrow am on my agenda...even though it might rain tomorrow night, it's amazing how fast things can dry out.

I'm back from some time out-of-town. My niece, her husband, and their kids (my Littlest Greatniece and Baby Bro), and my niece's closest childhood friend and her 2 little ones, and my sister, were all vacationing on a barrier island about 95 miles northeast of me. So I ran up the coastline to visit for a couple of days. We all had a ball.  :D

We got in a great beach day - a fun time was had by all in the surf and the sand!

The man had a mud business for oil companies.  I never understood this but Mike probably does.   Understood the origin of the dogs names!  Lol.

I sure remember Bob reporting to us from the  camera operating  room!  Thanks Lani!

Old Guy, thanks so much!  I will share this and enjoy it!  NBC would not let me access this earlier but your  link was perfect!

Baz, do you have a neighbor check on Zippo with fresh food and water?

Phyl, the vet I have used for Piper has only been one I have used for a year!  This is not the one I refer to as my vet!   This man and I do not jive well and I am going to look for one I can communicate with!

kb - Are you feeling better?

Puff - Afternoon/Evening  :)

oldguy - I knew you could find it!

baz - Sounds like you had a really fun time.  Glad that Zippo held down the fort for you!  :D

Lani - Thanks for the pic of Bob from the shed.  I went inside this past ATF...alot more computer systems in there now.  :)

Phyl - Sleep well.

Lisa - I am but the pain is still there. It's in an odd place not clearly identifiable to me. T/L junction that wraps around the side and front a bit too. Sitting/laying and getting up are still painful.

I'd say I'm about 65 percent improved.

I'm glad to not have to do any yard work/garden etc. for still at least a week and by then I hope to be 100 percent.
Thanks.

Walking Ollie, setting up sprinklers, driving and grocery shopping are okay for me now. More than that, I'll wait for a week.

Puffling Ama fledges! (Audubon Puffin Cam, 7/24/24).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l15-1E1NYs0&t=4s

FLEDGING!!!! JULY 24, 2024! 🎉

At approximately 2:50 a.m. this Wednesday morning, Ama took her big flight, fledging at 42 days old! This momentous occasion is joyous, but also saddening. Though we will not see this feisty busybody of a puffling in the burrow anymore, we can take comfort in the fact that Willie and Millie did a fantastic job raising her. 💕

Photo of pre-fledge Ama taken by one of the Seal Island researchers yesterday. Cute hairdo!  :-*

Lani, Ama has fledged! Yay!  All those young Puffins watching, perfect! I wonder if that was the take-off spot? Remembering Bob, another picture from Decorah 2011, E1, E2 & E3, the eaglets that started it all!:
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7c/4c/14/7c4c14c1d6a515eb6d69c484a6f9e3f8.jpg)

Phyl, great video of Billy Joel and the kids! And there's Bob, always here for Caturday! I never knew about the cat blood pressure cuff, it's a super miniature of the human kind!  Great pic of the deer and the sunrise over the retention pond! And the English tudor style buildings, love it!

tsk, ah, the mimeograph machine!  For a couple of years I made the Sunday bulletin for the morning church service on the mimeograph! I loved it, and I got to pick out the hymns to be sung! Oh, I hated making a mistake, not so easy to correct...but the smell was good!

This is one of those times where if I told you what happened you wouldn't believe me. One of those "pictures or it isn't true moments" Well I have the proof and here is the story. Yesterday, my wife Jennifer got on her floatie and was out in the lake. Slowly but surely she ended up about 2/3 the way across the lake. I got out my measurement app on my phone and figured she was 1200 feet away from me about. That's not the story though. When she was out there, the loons spotted her and slowly made their way to check her out. You can see the progression in the pictures. In the second shot, the loon has a fish and I thought what's it going to do feed her? The first one kept diving and swimming under her. Then it almost looked like it was sitting in her lap. The other loon came on over to check her out as well. Once that happened, both loons continued to the north. Just amazing to see from my perspective. Jen said that they got less than 10 feet away from her. I heard of swimming with dolphins but loons? And some might question if she jumped off from a boat. Nope that didn't happen cause I don't own one.

Multiple pictures taken by him that shows his story.

I'd say this is Heaven!

Good Afternoon Beakers!
Hi Eagles4, Lisa, Ezee, Eburg, Weasel, Jilltosa, Kb, Tsk, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, BL, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Lisa, Phyl, Tsk, Clynn, Karen, It was wonderful to have Aly and Dewey here, she helped me with my honey-do list too.... Aly and Dewey drove home and arrived late yesterday.

Phyl, our Thursday family dinner was interrupted by a thunderstorm, lost electricity during the planning of the meal. And then I switched to grilling everything. And then 2 hours later the electricity turned back on right before Shannon arrived at 6pm. Thankful it turned back on, it was warm and humid in the house without the AC... I watched Soul Train too... beautiful Griffon Vultures on Nature videos.... thanks for RRP blogs... Beautiful Summer Tanager.... Fun Caturday cartoons!  ;D ... wonderful Bob Anderson post... you always post very interesting articles and pics with coming events... such as Double' meteor shower and Last Chance Lake.

Kb, Tig sorry about your neighbors. Take care  :-*

Baz, awww, so glad you were able to spend some fun time with family... good for the soul.  :-*

Oldguy, Thanks for links to songs.

Karen, I'm going to try to get our vet to give Sadie a 3-yr rabie shot this next week too. I don't like smart aleck doctors or vets either. Find a good one. I've switched a couple of times. Yes, I will miss Aly.... I didn't watch the opening to the Olympics, but I did watch Celine Dion's rendition of Hymne a l'amour on youtube. She is beautiful and sang one of the most lovely songs, Hymne a l'amour. One of the most famous French songs made well-known by Edith Piaf. I love her voice.... Celine emotes such strong heartfelt feelings in this song, gave me goosepumps. This closing to the opening ceremony reminds me of KD Lang when she sang Hallelujah in the closing portion of the opening of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Canada https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqGU8ESzHw0. She touched my heart.

Hymne a l'amour - Edith Piaf - 1950
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPjRR7LoE5o

Tsk, I've been very busy this last week. I'm tired today. Last night the smoke alarms went off at 2am. The ten year lithium batteries in a couple of alarms went off, and they are only 2 years old. Of course it would be the alarms that are located at the highest part of our living room ceilings, which is 16' high.  :( ... It wasn't beeping, it was full on alarm every five minutes... Sadie and cats were upset. We had to get the fire department to come and help us disconnect the alarms when the breaker box couldn't shut it off.  :( ... I tried to find out if that was David Foster on the piano for Celine. Besides Gymnastics, Synchronized pairs diving and swimming are my favorites...

Clynn, yes, we did have a good dinner with the girls before Aly left.... I remember Where the Action is! Love the Raiders!  ;D .. Love Bella's sign for your hall cat... I can't believe it's time for the kids to go back to school. They're returning here too....Love the Caturday cat fork wall art! Love your Sunday morning green captions  ;D... Yes, our fabulous Decorah 2011 Eaglets  :-* They were the beginning of a whole new world for me for us!!!  :-*  Our Hellgate Family is doing so well and what beauties our chicks have grown into.... Sum-eh & Antali are the names I selected for the Hellgate Chicks... I'm not calling the Younger "ragged pants."  ???

Here are the options:

Sum-eh (elder chick) - The name of a remarkable Salish woman and an extremely important person in her tribe (see photo below). She served as the tribe’s midwife, as well as a disciplinarian of sorts, and lived to be 112 years old.
Antali (younger chick) - A Salish name that can be roughly translated as Andrew or Andrea
Enwi (elder chick) - The name of Louis Ninepipes, another important Salish elder.
InLeakps (younger chick) - The Salish name for Wilbur Vaughn, a friend of the Salish people. It roughly translates to “ragged pants.”


It's only 3:39pm here and to prevent me from falling asleep, I've been listening to music while I've been writing this.
I'll be back tonight... so I'll close with this last song that's got me up and going... ;D

Thanks Lani!  I do remember Edith P. Singing but it was not in 1950!  I was in 6th grade!  Do recall the Hallelujah  finale!   Glad Aly and Dewey are home safe!
Tired today!  After watering all the pots in the back yesterday we got .95”” of rain!   Watered the two pots on the covered front porch today and decided the windows look pretty good!

Not a fan of the names for the osprey kids!  Understand the reasoning and I voted but …..
Seds to all!

TF is now off to the right of his natal nest coming close to SSTrig territory. He stands up and shows off his magnificent wings and wing span right at the cam! Enjoy some great closeups of TF flapping and preening.

LGL is seen in flying in & has a beautiful arrival landing close to TF. He walks over wheeing to Mom so happy to see a parent come in. LGL gives TF a quick feeding and then she starts to walk to the left. TF followed her wheeing and she stops and tops him off and then departs over the sea. It was a very short visit from Mom today. LGL will however come back later in the afternoon to give TF another feeding! 💕 Thank you for watching!

Howdy Beakers.

Tig, I saw my boyfriend win his first doubles match with Carlitos, and his 1st singles match... next up for him  in singles will be Novak. Ugh. Saw Coco won her 1st doubles match with Pegula, and her 1st singles match, too, after she served as a flag bearer for the USA in the opening ceremony, along with LeBron. Saw him play in the men's 1st basketball win, also, and saw Andy Murray win his 1st doubles match. Yay for him - his 1st loss there will be his last pro match. Sad to see him having to leave the sport - all the injuries.. And glad Rafa can play in the Olympics one last time, too. The changing of the guard at the top.

Lani, ugh on the way-up-high smoke alarms! ugh on 10-year lithium batteries failing after 2 years, too! Maybe because of all the recent power outages making the smoke alarms run on battery power? Glad you could finish making dinner on the grill after the power outage, and enjoy it after Shannon got there, with A/C working again. I have been a huge James Taylor fan since the get go - would see him walking around town in Chapel Hill back in his early days when he was there a lot - his family moved there when he was a toddler... my old stomping ground - well one of them, LOL. I am a huge fan of Carly Simon, too... love their "Mockingbird" duet. I cried when they split.

Karen, no, Zippo doesn't need anyone to bring her fresh food and water when I am gone for 1 night. I leave her extra food and water dishes as spares, just in case she goes nuts and dumps one. LOL. She didn't.

Good night, All. Peace.

National Days:
https://nationaltoday.com/international-tiger-day/ (https://nationaltoday.com/international-tiger-day/)

The International Tiger Day is celebrated on July 29 every year to raise awareness and support for tiger conservation issues






(https://www.extinctanimals.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Extinct-Tigers.jpg)


WHY WE LOVE INTERNATIONAL TIGER DAY
It celebrates our diverse ecosystem
International Tiger Day aims to strike a delicate balance between humans and tigers. Since we are all dependent on each other in more ways than one, the day makes us realize that a healthy tiger population also means a well-balanced ecosystem.

It protects an endangered animal
Tigers are now an endangered species and we must all do our bit to protect these magnificent beasts. While conservation efforts are carried out all year long, International Tiger Day reminds us to get involved in the cause.

It celebrates the bond between tigers and humans
Despite the fact that humans are largely responsible for the dwindling tiger population, it is also true that there are a bunch of passionate wildlife enthusiasts who are trying their best to make the planet more habitable for the tigers — International Tiger Day also celebrates this unique bond.

Phyl, good morning to you! 69 here, headed for 90 today. Very interesting article on Last Chance Lake, thanks! First underwater 365 that I have seen! Prayers for the tigers, and other endangered animals.

baz, so glad you got to see your boyfriend perform again! If I remember right you were worried about him last year...  I totally agree, pets that don't need to be taken out to do their business can easily be left alone for a couple of days with extra food and water. Have done it many times! These days I am glad I have good neighbors across the street, we share keeping an eye on each others pets when one is gone.

Lani, TF is a beauty! I am guessing it won't be long until the chicks are all gone again... I do not like the names chosen for the Hellgate chicks, too hard to pronounce! I had to laugh at your comment about ragged pants! I voted for the same ones you did!  Oh my on your smoke alarms! That would drive anyone crazy.  Ed said while I was gone an alarm was going off somewhere in the middle of the night. He said it was loud and after half an hour he called the non-emergency police line about it. They had received calls already and had someone on the way. It was silenced. Never found out what it was, but not a car alarm. They shut off after so many minutes.  Glad to hear Aly and Dewey made it home safely!  Thanks for the Carly & James!

tsk, I need some get up and go music this morning! Maybe In the Summertime!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMbzP5-VNAo

Well... We were stuck in a deluge while returning from our church annual meeting last night. Wow.
Then, I had a snack (since it was fruit and sweets at church).. some meatballs... and unfortunately... and what I rarely consume... the bottom of the bag of Ruffles potato chips. I awoke at 2 a.m. and noticed a swollen top lip on one side! I can feel a couple abrasions with my tongue. When I tried a cool pack this morning it got worse and moved. I called and the nurse agreed to stop and just try ibuprofen. Sheesh.
On top of that... the neighbor started in at 5:30 a.m. Someone called the police and she left for a while but when she returned he started again. Two mental health personnel?? arrived and returned later. Police returned and it took 9 officers to subdue him. He was then taken by ambulance. I hope a solution is found. I'm afraid for her safety when he gets out.
Back to resting...

I'm 99% sure it was the chips. I drank lots of water, had yogurt and honey, and lukewarm coffee for breakfast, eggs n cheese for lunch, bass n mashed potatoes for supper. No salt. Really missed it on some of those foods. Anyway... the lip is quite a bit better tonight.
Yes, same guy. I think it took the social workers to finally sign off on taking him. I forgot to mention he was naked for a few minutes at one point. I think the only folks who saw were the wife,  a guy walking by with his dogs, the plumber working at the house on the other side... and me (peeking out through our blinds). He did use his hand to cover himself though. !!!

You can have black coffee before ablood test.  It does not affect any test results!  Am sure cream and sugar and such wouls skew something! Have asked techs in many labs and a,ways get tge same answer! Glad I like my coffee “straight”!

Lisa, my doctor always wants blood work for my annual checkup, and the lab opens at 7:00 so I make sure I get there a little before 7:00. There are always a few people there already. Then I go home and have my coffee!

Lani, good luck to Myrtle! Cute picture of the four little sloths bunched up together on the branch!

oldguy, I asked Ed if it rained last night, he said a storm went through with lots of lightening/thunder. Didn't wake me up at all!

Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah is a breathtaking natural wonder known for its unique geological formations called hoodoos. These tall, thin spires of rock, created by erosion, form a stunning amphitheater of red, orange, and white hues. Visitors can explore the park's scenic viewpoints, hiking trails, and stargazing opportunities, all while marveling at the dramatic landscapes. Sunrise and sunset offer particularly spectacular views, highlighting the park's vibrant colors and intricate rock structures. Bryce Canyon's otherworldly beauty makes it a must-see destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers.

each hand. Doc said there was no cartilage and it was just bone on bone for my hands and knees.
The  specialists are at Elite Sports Medicine in Nashville. Dr. Amanda Martin (knees) is currently at the Paris
Olympics w/ the soccer team ,so there'll be a wait . But Dr. Dovan is in office (hands)

Thanks for the posts---will read them later tonight.
Take care...

Good Night Everyone... sleep well.

Phyl, so be easy on those knees until the knee doc gets back! Love those doors!  73 here, high 93. Another big storm went through early this morning, woke me up around 3:00. The wind gusts were up to 60 mph and some pine branches were brushing against the north side of the house where our bedroom is. TWC says more possible strong storms tonight, if so that will be 3 nights in a row! Cute street grates! Beautiful scenery and sounds in the 365!

BL, totally agree to the rotting in jail.

Lani, love the pink toe beans in your good night pic! You have a good day today!

Founding Father Francis Lightfoot Lee lived at Menokin, a Georgian style home built for him by his wife’s father, between 1769 until his death in 1797. Francis Lightfoot Lee signed the American Declaration of Independence.
Per Wiki, Menokin changed hands several times and “went into serious decline around 1935 when it lay, for the most part, vacant and crumbling before coming into possession of The Menokin Foundation in 1995.”
Though Menokin is now a ruin and has partially collapsed, the Menokin Foundation has developed a plan to restore the house using glass panels (essentially windows) to fill missing portions of the building instead of trying to restore the house to its original condition. This will allow the display of the framing, masonry, and interior for visitor observation when completed by 2026. Recommended on a grand scale.  4037 Menokin Rd, Warsaw, VA 22572

TIG   WOW  Poor guy obviously has some big problems.  Let's hope he finally gets some help. :(   
WHAAT???    Just read on further.  What is the heck is going on ?????  I don't believe it.  I would call in a heartbeat.

KAREN  I do believe you are right on that coffee but I just wanted to be sure.  I put my big girl panties on and survived  LOL

CLYNN   LOL  Gladys   ;) ;)    Bryce Canyon was my favorite when in high school our family did a 2 week camping trip out west.  So different than other canyons.  Now it makes me think that pic could be faked too.   Terrible how we never know these things these days.  I'd like to believe some photographer was in the right place at the right time.  We have a Chicago photographer - Barry Butler who posts on FB.   His shots of Chicago are stunning so I know it can be done.

PHYL   Good luck with those shots.   What stunning doors.  Sign me up!    Prairie flowers are the best.

BL   So that is where you are!!  Never heard of Ishi before.  Are you near the fires?

Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)

The Royal Cam Name the Chick competition has begun!

It is an honour and a privilege to be able to name one of such a special taonga (treasure) species such as the toroa. We have been given permissions to name one of the Royalcam chicks and that is the Top Flat chick, parents LGK and LGL.

2) Do an action for the environment that can help protect albatross.
3) Then take a photo of your action.

Super simple! Get in quick, head over to our website to find out more details and how to enter (Entries are only valid through our website)

T's and C's apply: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/royal-cam/namethechick/name-the-chick-entry-form/terms-and-conditions/

Enter here: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/royal-cam/namethechick/

The judging criteria is as follows:

*Relevance to the theme of what happens on land impacts our oceans, the chick, colony or species.

BL, terrible, I agree with you. Right now the biggest wild fire concern is called the Sand Stone fire northeast of Fountain Hills and crossing N&S Highway 87 (Beeline) They considering closing both lanes to Payson. This area was part of the Bush Highway fires two summers ago. Over 23,000 acres is now burning and 0% containment.  :(

Phyl, love the owl doors and the beautiful wild flowers in today's nature video. I love seeing the light snow covering on the mountains too.... I pray the shots will help.

Clynn, Finn's been busy with a couple of fish deliveries this morning. Very interesting story of Founding Father Francis Lightfoot Lee and his home. I hope they are able to find the funds to restore.

I'm a happy camper in the following sense: My neighbor whose ash tree broke in a storm and hung over my property making my internet/tv cable and all my roses and fence susceptible had  team out today to take it down.

Mind you I paid years back 650 bucks to trim HIS tree as it was encroaching on my roof.

Had city forester out who said it would be my responsibility if it fell on my property. This is disputed in law if the home owner knows before such event occurs. So, he went and told him and he took care of it before it became a big issue for me.

Only fair since I paid before and it's his tree...thanks city forester.

Of course it landed on top of my cable wire at first, I stepped out and yelled at them, and they did remove it. Whew.

I'll have lots of sticks to pick up but that doesn't compare to the potential disaster that could have been.

Puff, good observation!  Keep an eye on it, we may have a new family claim the beautiful nest this fall!

Lani, the TF Royal Alby chick will be named! Did you have some time to rest yesterday? You have had a busy couple of weeks! Those fires always worry me, I pray they get them under control soon. Such devastation and I am sad for the animals affected.

tsk, I love the Merlin app, I take it out on the deck! Always hear the Cardinal and the wren for sure, and others at times. I see sparrows but they rarely register on Merlin. Seems like the Grackles and Blackbirds didn't stay long this year.

The Driftless Area refers to the hilly landscape topography of southwestern Wisconsin. This area was left untouched by the last glacier that covered most of Wisconsin, resulting in its hillier and more rugged features. It is without the "drift" left by glaciers so it is "driftless."
About 15,000 years ago, and several times during preceding ice ages, glaciers flowed out of Canada as far south as the Ohio and Missouri Rivers. During the most recent one, the glaciers were diverted to the east or west by the highlands of north-central Wisconsin, leaving the Driftless Area untouched. In most of the Midwest, the ice sheets smoothed the landscape flat by eroding away the crags and filling in the valleys. The Driftless Area escaped this fate. Its ancient, rugged hills, and steep valleys pre-date most of the rest of the state's landscape.
What towns and cities are at the heart of the Driftless Area here in Wisconsin? Viroqua, Prairie du Chien, Gay Mills, Hillsboro, Readstown, Coon Valley, Soldiers Grove, LaFarge, Viola, Ferryville, Ontario, Westby, Stoddard Genoa and lots more.

Hi CLynn Ooops! It wasn't that 'Doc Martin' I was talking about. However, we've been that 'Doc Martin' fans from the very
first episode aired in 2004 on PBS. We have the entire series on  DVD.

I remember Gladys Kravitz...LOL
Thanks for update on Hellgate nest. The family looks beauitful

 Gosh!   'The Driftless' area has been around for a long, long time om SW Wisconsin. Awesome photo.

Flamingo time I see. Did you know it's because of all the shrimp they eat that flamingos get their famous 'pink' color.
Have fun w/the Munchkins today.

Puff you got a good eye. Could be a new family. I---Echo, CLynn I see.

We haven't seen any Starlings this year--usually they flood our area and eat all the bird seed and suet.  Can't say we've missed them though.
I think we got CLynn's blackbirds---they've all but swarmed us this year.

Coolest Northern MN lynx video!

From Voyageurs Wolf Project:

We captured some really neat footage of lynx this past year on our cameras but this is definitely the coolest. In fact, might be the best video of a lynx we have ever captured, not least because the lynx decided sit right in front of the camera...

Thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for their continued support of the project, which allows us to capture, document, and share neat footage of the wildlife in northern Minnesota!

Still too hot to do anything outside....will be here with high dew points (now 71) and smoke through our weekend.
Looking forward to next week with cooler and less dewy temps...will have lots of catch-up to do.

Hi again all. . .

tsk  I took a ride through the Driftless area during ATF this year, looking for the roller coaster road.   ::)  I didn't know the driftless area was going to be right under my nose.  Also the Effigy Mounds.  I'm planning next year to go out a day earlier so I have time to ride the scenic road and stop at the museum.  Next year I'll do more of tour/ride, too.

clynn  I could have /should have been more specific -  When the adult perches, it seems to be on the cliff side of the hatchery pond.  Then it takes off over the corn field to toward the Womeldorf house in the back and has a very tall, top, barren branch to sit on there.  Thanks for the in-depth travelog of both pairs Amy.  I wondered if I was imagining a bird on the Y branch.  They're keeping claim to their territory, too.  Yay!  Talons crossed.

I remember Gladys Kravitz, too.  Lots of older  ::)  viewers on channel.

Beautious Lynk   Wow

Phyl - Hmmm, I thought it only deactivated you, not the people on your list, too.  We deactivated Mama's, but I still see her name show up under my friends list, and when I click on her name it says, when she reactivates her account you will still be friends.  Love the lil figurines. 

kb - Ditto what tsk said, on beetle  :D

Lani - Love that good night pic.

Puff - That area is in the bluffs E of the pond, RRP calls that bluff perch, and most likely it was HM or HD.  It looked like HM to me this morning. 

clynn - I sure do remember Gladys Kravitz  ;D ;D  Cool pic of the Driftless area!

Good Afternoon!   Just came in from the back porch while Piper was enjoying the yard!  Dew point 78 degrees and temp in the low nineties but didnot feel too bad!  There is a heat advisory tho!

Tsk, my college roommate, at Beloit retired to Mineral Point and lives on Mineral Point!  She mentions Dodgevile.   She and her ex owned a historic  hotel in Galena.  They were  in the process of renovations when they divorced!  I really like that town  in NW  Il.  I love your morning coffee pictures!   Lol!   The IV was priceless!

Clynn,  hope you are having a great day with tge kids!  3 more to go! The  octopus was clever!
Interesting about F. lee , a  founding father!  Robert E Lee is a descendant  and was born in Stratford  Hall  a later residence of F. lee! (After the resident you posted and before RELee).  I have read a lot about the later and there is a lot of conflicted info about him!


Lani, so tragic about the fires in Az!  There are some on Oregon, Calif and am not sure of tge status of those in NM!  So sad to lose wildlife and the beautiful plants in these lovely areas!

I've enjoyed reading up on everyone's posts. Thanks to all!  :)

It has been a busy couple of days around here. I've enjoyed watching lots of Olympics, thanks to DVR - especially gymnastics and swimming. I still need to catch up on today's contests, so that's where I'm headed now.

I had a fun visit with some family and friends who were vacationing up the coastline a bit. The kids all had fun playing together - my LGN and her Baby Bro and family enjoyed having some of their family friends vacationing with them. A good time was had by all.   :D :-* :-*

Bazi  tks for the family snaps of the visit---LGN/ Lil Bro so cute--glad her hair is growing in curly, looks like she gets the curls from her mom--will she grow it out long of keep it short? either  way will be cute .   LIL bro and all look like they're having such fun in the surf

KB awesome lynx snap ---awesome big cat!

Been praying for those wild fire animal victims and the forest itself will be protected from further death ,
 destruction and the culprit is captured-punished.





Good Night Everyone... sleep well.

KAREN   When my Dad retired they had a second home built on 40 acres of "farm land" in Dodgeville.   They owned it for 25 yrs and sold to the neighbor - a child when they built it - who always said to them he'd buy it  LOL  They used it only in the summer but it was company galore during those times and a lot of work for them both too.  Mom loved to have people around - It had a valley on it we'd hike down to  - a beaver also enjoyed building a dam.   They also built a lot of hiking trails around the property and Dad built benches to rest on.

BAZI   It's hard to catch up.  I had a very busy day today so didn't catch any Olympics.  Hope I will get caught up in Prime time.
Those are really great pics.  LGN has a lot of hair now  ;D ;D

PHYL   Beautiful tiny cottage. ;)

Tim came home from errands and his garage door would not open with remote - He checked it out and the piece that pulls the chain completely broke - Not bad for 16 years of use.  Crossing my fingers for mine!  Lucky this company we've used several times before were able to send somebody out late this afternoon.  I sent him on his way with a steak sandwich with steaks I had grilled along with some dill pickle bratwurst - Will give us a couple meals.  Very interesting man from Turkey originally - He said he stays a young 55 yrs old cuz " I have a wife 20 years younger than I am"  LOLOL

Our 25 year old  Carrier central AC outdoor condenser failed spectacularly.

Drats and doable drats and just on the cusp of our IV heat wave.
 
We're talking about very scary noises very quickly _ Huge pop _ Breakers clipped appropriately.

Look out window _ huge blue plume of 'smoke' wafting away from the unit .. Not Good ..

In skivvies outside with fire extinguisher _ No fire _ just a lot of condenser venting.

I also have enough HVAC heat danger knowledge to know just put the back up window unit in.

It just died too.

Plan number 3.

be here tomorrow.   LOL.

In the interim .

2 humans and a dog in their own hammocks _ I guess the flying squirrel was it.

Lani, sweet good night pic! Hoping and praying that the fire stays away from Payson...

tsk, glad you were able to get the garage door fixed that quickly! 16 years is a good life. Ours was here when we bought this house in 1996, we had it repaired once and it's still going. We don't use it much though, never had a car in the garage. eBay storage that I am working on clearing out!  Did you ask the repair man if he knew of Walter Santi? All 3 cats here love to sit at the front door to the deck, it's about 6 ft from the Birdola, so lots of viewing of the birds, squirrels and chipmunks! It looks like they are watching a movie!

There are few birds in the world stranger and more enchanting than the birds-of-paradise. This spectacular family of birds includes 15 genera and approximately 42 species, and many are startlingly unique with unusual feather adaptations. Fluffy plumes, stiff wires, and plastic-like ornaments are just some of the display feathers of the birds-of-paradise. But why have they evolved this way, and how far has their specialization gone? Hear ornithologist Ed Scholes talk about feathers and the birds-of-paradise while watching the beautiful photography of Tim Laman in this film.

From the brightly colored, spiral-tailed Wilson's Bird-of-Paradise to the shapeshifting, iridescent-throated Vogelkop Lophorina, birds-of-paradise are fantastic examples of bird evolution, speciation, and adaptation. How do all those fancy feathers and dance moves help birds-of-paradise find their mates? How did these birds evolve to be so spectacular, and how have the choices of female birds played a role? Learn the answers to these questions and more with the Birds-of-Paradise Project.

GOOD MORNING

The year is flying by....

LANI    LOL  That's exactly how Lulu sits on me.  Cute night meme

BL   You are obviously back from your trip but now stuck without A/C  - sounded scary- Yikes!  Hope you can get new A/C soon.

PUFF  Keep us posted.  Would sooner see eagles than geese  LOL

CLYNN  The cheery yellows have it today!  Boy S&S are really big now!  They sure do have a good cat TV station  ;D   Ouch - Luckily no surgery for Talon.  Had to look up "buckle fx".  Pretty much a kid thing.  :o   Wonder where that creative Bella got the idea for an office  LOL    Calendar shot of the Tetons. :)

PHYL   Birds of Paradise are the best!

Good Morning!  August!  Usually the weather gets hotter!  Bl, get that cooler replaced! Had a new hvac (heat pump) installed while I was in The home!  The  old one was beginning to show  some age  and  was using freon so I said  I did not wish to find out what life was like in South Georgia without ac!  Good luck BL!
Tsk, good job on the garage door!

Clynn, so Bella plans to work in an office!   Think big and be an attorney!    Poor Talon!    Love theSun Flowers!   Is Ed growing 🍅  this year?
Hyl, will readCornel later!  Dew point is 75 and humidity is 98%!   Need I say more?   Lisa, this is Jeffs kind of weather!

tsk - Aww, Lulu and the chipmunk activity.  That sounded like a very nice piece of property your parents had in Dodgeville.  Oh no, on the garage door for Tim.  That is amazing you could get someone out so quickly. 

karen - The heat and humidity is back for a few days here.  I am ready for Fall.  Jeff's kind of weather!  ;D

baz - Great pics from the beach of the Lil greats!

tig - Sounded like a very relaxing day for you yesterday.  What did you cook for dinner?

BL - We just replaced our condenser on our 21 yrs old system.  I am hoping it hangs on for a lil while longer. 

Puff - I don't want to jinx it, but I love seeing HM & HD in the mornings.  I hope this is a good sign!

clynn - Great pics of cats, munchkins, Hellgate, and the beautiful pic of the Grand Teton National Park.  Another one to add to my list  :D

Robert Fuller - "Filming a sloth mother and baby has long been on my bucket list and when I was invited to travel to Tranquilo Bay in Panama, I leapt at the chance. I started to investigate what I would need to do to film them. Sloths are notoriously slow and spend much time sleeping or resting, so allowing a plenty of time to achieve shots of behaviour and movement would be important."  https://viewpoints.dji.com/blog/uncovering-the-secret-behaviour-of-animals-and-birds-without-disruption

Good morning Beakers!
Hi Eagles4, Lisa, Ezee, Eburg, Weasel, Jilltosa, Kb, Tsk, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, BL, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Hi Clynn, no time to rest either Tuesday or yesterday... I had left early for what I thought would be a short day to help a friend and learn about a grief counseling group here in Payson and Pine. You know how time goes by when you're listening and quietly sharing with other women... by the time I returned home I stuffed myself with a comforting toasted peanut butter/honey sandwich and a hot tea... then started on my chores and then it was too late to post until night. And I was mentally tired, at my age that's easier and quicker to accomplish. LOL!.. the Sand Stone fire NE of Fountain Hills is 27% contained and over 27,000 acres burned. They opened both 87 Hwy lanes... beautiful Hellgate family... interesting about "Driftless Area"... great pic of the 3 furry family members. S&S have grown!  :-*.. sending Talon my prayers for quick healing... awww Miss Bella looking forward to future job possibilities.  :-*.. I remember when I made indoor tents for my little brother and sister in an unused dining room, especially on cold rainy days.

Phyl, cute little mini decor people... thanks for RRP blog updates.. love the home in your good night pic. In another time, I'd love to live in it... cute green lizard among the wild rosemary or lavender (maybe) ... wonderful video on Bird of Paradise.

Puff, I enjoy your Decorah cam comments.

Karen, sorry about the cpap... Mike just bought a new one too.

Kb, gorgeous Lynx I enjoy these wildlife cams on the ground, there are great captures on them.

{{{Lisa and her mama }}} I still have my late MILs email address on my list. I don't want to delete it.... I'm ready for Indian Summer, we're going into my favorite time of year. I'm going to get my silk sunflowers and other early fall stuff out today.  ;D

Baz, love Lil Punkin's curly hair  :-* ... great pics of great n/n with friends, beautiful good night pic.

Tsk, wonderful memories of your parents 2nd home in Dodgeville... good quick service for your garage door. I bet he loved your generosity of a delicious sandwich.  ;D

Tig, yesterday was a good day for you.  ;D

BL, sorry about the AC, I hope it can be repaired asap! Till then I think the cool northern hills are calling you, Pip and the pup.

Phyl, "Hashtag?"  ???

Lisa... I had some leftover 80/20 chuck from making tacos... Combined it with some apple mango sauce, and real bacon bits and made "hamburgers" with some shredded mozzarella without buns. A side of Cheetos for Camper.
Since he went to breakfast and a movie with a friend... and I'm doing laundry... tonight will be chunky minestrone with andoiue sausage.

LISA   I'm ready for fall as well.

LANI   Mr Fuller - a very determined and excited, well equipped wildlife photographer.  So you're interested in becoming a grief counselor or just that particular group? You are a good friend.  As you know chores wait.  ;) ;)

At the time I posted the above the news of their possible release just broke this AM on FNC. In a effort keeping w/ Forum rules I kept my joy vague. I really thought everyone had seen this 'hash tag'  that's been in my posts for the past several years.  :)

#IStandWith Evan  - I kept this on my Twitter posts and in the Beakroom signature to show support for Evan Gershkovich and  Paul Whelan,  Alsu Kurmasheva, and many others who were unjustly imprisoned by the Russian government on grounds of espionage.

I'm sure by now y'all have heard this wonderful news.

Lani, what a beautiful picture of TF at sunset! Great picture of Mom and Baby sloth by Robert Fuller, so sweet! Peanut butter with honey on toast, with a good cup of tea! A wonderful and cozy treat. I love all of it! I think you are probably already a great grief counselor... you have the heart and the words for it...  Yes, I can't believe how big Sam and Sophie are now, they will be nine months old Sunday! They are my 'little' stinkers!

Phyl, I hate getting behind on email... Yes, wonderful news of the hostage releases, it was on MSNBC all day and still this morning. Some happy families for sure! Cute good night pic!  Oh, that cuckoo chick, definitely outgrowing the nest! Love the old lady and the cat celebrating Friday! And the little hippie chick!

tsk, did you get the rain? We have been getting rain when it wasn't even in the forecast until the last minute (probably when the drops started coming down. We have had no brown grass so far this summer, and it looks like the temps are cooling down starting Tuesday! 94 high on Monday, 77 for Tuesday!

Lisa, oh how we all wish HD/HM would decide to use N1 for the coming season! I just don't understand why no one wants to use the two prime locations near the hatchery! Does anyone have an idea? Too much activity near the nests?

GOOD MORNING

PUFF  Just checked the gauge - 1/2"  I'm grateful

LANI   Nice closing last night with TF chick at sunset

PHYL   Crazy memes this morning  ;D  Well I would agree about the cuckoo chick   ;D ;D

CLYNN   I'm getting shades of orange this AM.  My first apt away from home had an orange sleeper sofa  LOL   Yes 1/2" of rain and one clap of thunder.   My bet is too much activity at the hatchery area - people and traffic..  Hellgate  :)  Love the barge on the River.

Well Tim has gone through 3 injections now and that doc has now referred him to an orthopedic surgeon!  We see him on Monday at 4 PM  sigh.  Was amazed we got in so quick!

Phyl - Thanks for explanation on #  :D 

Lani - Pretty sunset pic from Royal cam.

clynn - I wish the eagles were talking to tell us why they don't want to use the nest, but my guess is too much human activity around the hatchery, and maybe noise from Willard's home which is now a AirBnB.

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)


Karen, get the galoshes out for you and Piper, and remember not to park in the low spots.  ;)  Zippo and I have checked out the 2:00 PM, EDT, afternoon update for PTC Four, and we are ready for rain, rain, rain.

The rainfall portion of that 2:00 PM EDT update, from https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT4+shtml/021732.shtml  said:

"RAINFALL: Potential Tropical Cyclone Four is expected to produce
rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches, with maximum rainfall totals up to
12 inches, across portions of Florida and near the Southeast U.S.
coast this weekend through Wednesday morning. This rainfall could
result in areas of flash and urban flooding, with isolated river

The next complete update will be at 5:00 PM EDT.


Have a good evening, Beakers. Peace.

Luckily I went to the mailbox 30mins before.  ;D

Oh that 'Pigpen'  .

Lani, so peaceful, just looking at the Hellgate kids sleeping and iris on the perch...and I bet Finn is somewhere close by watching all of them... Thanks for the Royal Alby update, you are so good to keep us in the know! Read from the newspaper yesterday that Des Moines got 9.5" of rain in July. The most for July since the great floods of 1993.

oldguy, thanks for the videos! Yes, cool down coming, Tuesday high 77!  Cat vomit alarm, so true. And always on the carpet or rug.

Phyl, great pic of the Hellgate kids, the size difference is gradually disappearing, they both look wonderful!  Thanks for the links, looks like we won't be able to see any of the aurora borealis from here. The Cowbirds! A lot of them!

Lisa, I didn't know about the Willard Home either! That would be the place to stay! Well, it would have been better when the nests close by had eagles nesting in them, but that's probably the reason they don't nest there anymore.

baz, hope you don't float away!

Lani - Love that morning pic, really blends in! 

kb - Hope the eagle was ok. 

tsk - I cannot imagine having all the cats that Claire has either.  I hope she has a team that helps her with the litter box cleaning. By the time you get them all done, you have to start all over.  ;D  Glad to hear the good news about Joe!

Phyl - Love your photographer cats.  Thanks for the 365.  Your email situation sounds like my yahoo.com mail when I let it sit for a few hours.   ;D

clynn - The inside of Willard's home is very nice.  Some of the Mods have stayed there the past two ATF's, but yes it would be a great place to rent.  It only has one full bath, and a potty & sink upstairs.  The upper floor bedrooms do not have doors on them either, and its kinda like an open floor plan up there. There is a gorgeous screened in porch on the back.   You have to talk with your inside voice when you are outside, cause you might just get caught on cam saying something!  ;D ;D

Lani - Awww, Iris and the kids! 

oldguy - Wow, that is some decent rain fall.  Aww,The Clark's.

some bounce,

I finished trimming the raspberries and a couple errant sprouts from the grape this morning; and pulled some weeds from in between the barberries on the back Blvd.
Stepson is mowing the lawn now. His dog, Oso, did a nice sweep of the garden and behind the day lilies... no rabbit scent found. Yay!

Hugs all around...

Back to the TV... feet up!
I broke my "eating plan" last night. We tried the new restaurant that took over for our favorite pizza place. There were a few "rough edges" but in all a good experience. The Mexican food was good and I had a margarita that had Grand Marnier, etc. And it came with a huge lime popsicle! YUMMY.   The chips are for "show" in the pic... I don't eat them.

HAPPY CATURDAY!

TSK, prayers continue for Tim's cousin, Joe. What a grueling treatment regimen he has gone through! I'm so glad to hear he is doing well, and can enjoy a family visit nearby, too. What a great idea for that open house. Hugs all around, to go with continued prayers for Joe's healing and comfort. Have you watched any of the Olympics golf? I've only caught a little bit of it, on the Golf channel. It may be showing/streaming other places, I'm not sure. Final round is tomorrow, I believe.

Karen, I'm sure you're preparing accordingly. Looks like wind coming your way, so I know you'll get your yard items stowed away as needed. And depending on the track that booger decides to take, maybe most of its flooding rains will stay mostly to the east of you - fingers crossed! Hope you don't lose power, or not for long, if you do. You and Piper take care, charge up all your electronics, turn on your weather alerts with the volume up, and stay safe and dry.

Zippo and I are all ready for what-the-heck-ever comes our way from TD Four/soon-to-be TS Debby. LOL. Of course, every update has a new wrinkle or wobble, but some people some places are going to get a buttload of flooding rain, wherever that system decides to slo-o-o-w down, and/or stall and sit, or loop-de-loop for a spell - and rain and rain and rain on whichever places it hovers. There will be no flooding issues for my homestead from that, but a medical procedure I have scheduled for Thursday may need to get re-scheduled... I will decide on Monday whether to call to do that rescheduling, as a just-in-case sort of thing - will not want to drive on flooded streets or through flooded parking lots in 65 mph wind, if that looks like it might be what I get here in that future timeframe. If the forecast on Monday makes it look like a possibiility for that on Thursday here, even though that's really too far out for an accurate forecast for that, I will re-schedule my appt, no matter. Minor inconvenience, only. I hope the people in FL, GA, and SC who will be getting serious flooding impacts will be safe. Prayers for all in the storm's path.


A new forecast package for TD Four/future Debby will come out at 5:00 PM Eastern time.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :)


Don't you hate it when a song gets stuck in your head?  ;)

Good Caturday Afternoon!  good news for Joe, Tsk!  Have a good visit!   Is Tim’s visit with the ortho surgeon
Monday to set a date for surgery, discuss  other options, recovery time?   I wish I could under go another surgery and feel that good again!  Not good, actually, just pain free!
We are forecasted to get 4 to 12 inches  of rain from  ts Debby!  Baz will get some and Lisa appears to be in the clear!  Storm coming in Monday!  As long as the trees stay rooted in the wet, sandy soil  we will be okay!
Anyone interested in seeing the olympics in person get your  hotel room reservations now for  the show in LA!   Here in 4 years!   I will not be going but I will try to wave at you on TV!  Lol!


See Baz just posted a Debby update.  Baz, the ts is supposed to move up the west coast of Florida and continue north thru Georgia turning east at Tifton, a little north of me!  There should not be any east coast problems except for rain asof the 11 am report!

Lovely colorful posts all week!  Think it was yesterdat Clynn outdid herself!

Baz - You be safe too.  I was looking at that cone….. 😂 I don’t think we will get anything, but these local weather people keep saying 7 inches of rain.  I am not so sure about that.  We were supposed to have storms to this evening, but of course it split and went above and below me.

On Sundays
Allow time to become
              a sluggish river
    flowing lazily
            down the verdant hill
      caressing the grassy banks
                and shores covered with columbines
    watching the dance of marsh marigolds
          swamp buttercups and calico asters swaying
  absorbing sunlight
      through its watery cells
              the warmth of earth and sky
                    resting gently
                          on the sleepy riverbed...

     





Good Morning Everyone!   Happy Sunday...

Lisa, that's the way it was here too, rain would be heading for us on the radar, then poof!  Maybe the surprise rain is heading your way...  One day I saw nothing but a tiny green dot on the radar, and it was a 17% chance. It was pouring as i was looking at the radar.

Montana Osprey Cams Facebook
Hi everyone,
The chicks will fledge soon, and I have been reflecting on what a miraculous season this has been at the Hellgate nest. We were not sure that Iris would return this spring, and so her arrival is always cause for joy.  But she did not have a mate, and it looked like it was going to shape up into another disappointing season of laying eggs to feed the ravens. But then Finnegan showed up, and he has proved to be an astounding mate, father, fisherman, and protector of the nest.  Bringing in 8-9 fish in a day should win him an Olympic gold medal!
And look how far Sum-eh and Antali have come in just over a month and half!  From small, helpless chicks, they have gone through the ugly duckling stage and grown rapidly into large, vigorous and healthy chicks. Sum-eh has been strengthening her wing muscles and coordination for a while now, and Antali is kicking it into gear too.  Sum-eh is a dominant and strong chick, but Antali has figured out how to thrive while being the younger sibling. 
We have seen Iris excel at what she has done for several decades - be a strong and determined mother.  She has shivered through cold rain storms, survived a surprise attack by a Great-horned Owl, and shaded her chicks through weeks of brutally hot temperatures. This is all especially impressive given that she is perhaps one of the oldest Ospreys in the world!
Well done Hellgate family - thanks for giving us such unexpected show this summer.  We are lucky to have front-row seats!
Sincerely, Erick Greene and the Montana Osprey Team

Sum-eh Wheeeee  :-*

Royal Albatross - Weighing and supplementary feeding Update (9.55am)

Top Flat chick is 190 days old and weighs 8.0 kg  :(  prior to supplementary feeding.  He was weighed at 9kg on the 23rd of July and has only has 3 feeds since then. LGL was in twice on Sunday 28th July and LGK arrived on Monday 29th July. We have fed him 1kg in fish and 600ml of fluids.

https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/royal-cam/track-the-chicks-weight/

Top Flat Track chick is 186 days old today and has remained at such a consistently high weight that we are no longer weighing him weekly.
He is being fed by his parents more regularly than Top Flat chick is.

Video - Royal Albatross ~ DOC Rangers Give Royalcam Chick TF His First Supplementary Feeding! 💕 8.4.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWdSETzBaoU&t=1s

Aug 3, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
This morning Ranger Sharyn & helper went to weigh TF and seeing his below average weight, decided to give him his supplementary feeding and fluids. TF weighed 8.0kg (17.63 lbs) which is down from 9.0kg at his last weigh-in taken July 23rd. During this time, he only received three feedings (two from LGL on July 28th and one from LGK on July 29th).

The rangers gave TF 1kg (2.2 lbs) of fish and 600ml of fluids for hydration today. TFT chick was not weighed last Tuesday and has remained at such a consistently high weight that they are no longer weighing him weekly.

I am sure that TF feels a lot better with this big meal in his tummy! ♥ Enjoy some beautiful sunset footage of him from  the other day! Many thanks to Ranger Sharyn and entire team for all their excellent work taking care of the albatross chicks to make sure they are all healthy and at a good weight! Thank you for watching!

TF chick with a full tummy will sleep well tonight  :-*

It looks like the main threat from Debby is going to be major inland rainfall and flooding.   :o

Quote from: NHC

1. Heavy rainfall will likely result in considerable flooding
impacts from the Florida Big Bend region through southeast GA and
the Coastal Plain of the Carolinas through Friday. Potentially
historic heavy rainfall across southeast Georgia and South Carolina
through Friday morning may result in areas of catastrophic
flooding. Significant river flooding is also expected.

   
Karen after landfall in FL the current track forecast (11 am EDT) looks to take Debby pretty close to Valdosta GA as a TS.   ::)

Glad to hear on brother's better news, tsk.  Hope Tim gets the best of news.  Prayers/Hugs. 

Picture of "spotted tree" had me searching for a while, too.  Great capture whoever it was, right time/right place/right equipment. 

BTW tsk no raindrops for 3 days.  Sprinkler sys paying off its $$$.  (Moreso than the radar and weather people odds.

Really happy after following Iris for years.  He found himself great mate and a great mother.  I didn't know she was up that pole for long; how long was she with the last bozo?

Great pics of the front of your house clynn.  I believe that caladium is an annual here?  If you get tired and want a change, I'll take that eagle stone piece off your hands!

I decided on a break - overdid yesterday in temp and work.  Good Olympic coverage today, though.  Long conference/meeting tomorrow, 10 am start, 6 hours, Tahiti and Australia.  Construction getting to and fro from Rosemont will add an extra hour each way on I294.  (Sheraton O'Hare on Mannheim  Tsk only one who knows or cares.  LOL)

PHYL   On Sundays - I can just picture it.  ;)  Tried to find the artist on those whimsical paintings - cute.  Cave 365 - quiet and serene = perfect hiding place for that cute little frog.  Agree with LANI   The paintings would make great puzzles.

CLYNN   Caladiums would work - they can get tall = look at the tag when planting.  Your walkway garden is beautiful.

LANI   Love Dr Greene's blind - Looks like an owl   :o  Nice piece by Dr Greene.   Sure is a good thing these Albie chicks are being monitored.  TF losing 1 kg of weight - Doesn't take much.  I think it could be the food line on the sloth tree  LOL     Oh, wonder what happened to the little monkey?

PUFF   I believe they did the Olympic surfing in Tahiti  ;D   If you have a break - Call me and I'll run over and say HI  ;D

International Clouded Leopard Day observed on 4th August annually to bring awareness for this VULNERABLE category species.
Do you know Clouded Leopards are not even a species of leopard. And, purr  rather like a house cat.

Nope not at all really.   ;)

Them there 2 gals know how to prepare and deal accordingly with the "Tropics" in their neck of the woods.   :-*

 ~ It looks like the WPC has backed off of the rainfall totals from Debby a LITTLE BIT.  ~

Still .. if Debby the downer puts down 10 to 20 +  inches of rain on the coastal plains it will not be good especially as a stalled Tropical Storm offshore trying to push the rivers back inland. !

Quote from: WPC

RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Debby is expected to produce rainfall totals of 6 to 12 inches, with maximum amounts of 18 inches, across portions of northern Florida and southeastern North Carolina through Friday morning. This rainfall will likely result in areas of considerable flash and urban flooding, with significant river flooding expected.

Across portions of southeast Georgia and South Carolina, 10 to 20 inches of rainfall, with local amounts to 30 inches, are expected through Friday morning.
This potentially historic rainfall will likely result in areas of catastrophic flooding.

Hide from the wind run away from the water .. coastal and inland rivers.

Of all the Tropical system I've encountered freshwater inland flooding has one of the worst impacts by far that I've ever seen.

The 2 attached images below are from the remnants of Tropical Storm Irene, Hudson Valley, NY on 08/28/2011.
The Ramapo River and this RxR (Port Jervis Line) right next to it are 40 miles north of the nearest Atlantic Ocean point.
Some old timers that I know that have worked/plied/traveled that line for 60+ years said they never saw the Ramapo River come anywhere near the tracks before.   
   
This Debby gal is a definite turn around don't drown type of situation.
Debby might stall and do a loop D loop even.
I would stay home and off the roads if I was anywhere in that 8 to 12 inch Orange area on this map:

Howdy Beakers.

All good here. Zippo and I will not have any issues with Debby. I will re-schedule my Thursday medical procedure so I can avoid flooded/closed roads, if the rain amounts forecasted come to pass for my area - and who knows if they will... the weather service has no idea yet where this system will go, or when, after Tuesday. It's going to be a Stay Tuned sort of story.

Meanwhile, we do know Karen is going to endure a real mess of a big storm all day on Monday/Monday night, and any of its aftermath in her area afterward. Ugh.

(((Karen))), hang in there! Fingers crossed your trees stay upright. I hope your expected power loss will not last too long. Don't plan on going to any doctor appts, or anywhere else on Tuesday!! Cancel that plan! Most places won't even have power, many employees will not be able to leave home for any number of reasons, and parking lots, some buildings, and many roads will be flooded. I hope you cancel plans to leave your home for any reason on Tuesday! You and Piper hang out and stay safe at home. Hugs. Stay safe. I am thinking of you!

Clynn, your front beds and gardens are so pretty! I love all the different plants! We had caladiums in our yard when I was growing up - so many varieties... they did well in the shady area around one of the bird baths under a very large apple tree in our backyard.

Lani, I loved seeing what Dr. Greene wrote about Iris and her family this year. I had forgotten that Iris is quite the possibly-near-record-breaking senior Osprey. Makes her happy and successful nesting season this year all the more special.  :-* :-*  I can't wait to see Dr. Greene's pictures! Loved seeing all the pics of the sweet animals in TRR's care- lucky for them to get that specialized care. Love seeing the pics and hearing about the TF and TFT chicks and their care.

TSK, aww, Lulu is such a pretty kitty - she's going to have fun with that yarn! I wonder if she took it to a hiding place where she keeps her stash?  ;)

Lisa, I hear ya about that "split" in the approaching rain. I have exactly the same situation here. We have similar geographical oddities.  ;)

Phyl, Clouded Leopards are such beauties. Their severe population decline is a worry.

BL, glad your loaner temporary cooling solution is keeping you, Pip, and Kopje in belly rub nirvana cool.

OG, I checked out your MrCool website. Very interesting!!

baz, hope you are safe and sound this morning. And dry.

karen, the radar looks like a mess for you, hope you and Piper are battened down and that your trees hold. I bet you are without power. Kay's sister Debbie lives in O'Brien FLA, near the FL/GA border. I am sure Debbie is getting pummeled by Debby. Take care, I know you know what to do! I just worry that you southern folks have no basements to retreat to ....

Lani, love that slightly different view of the Hellgate nest! I think Dr. Greene is as thrilled as everyone else is for Iris and Fill and the kids! I bet there will be wonderful pictures coming!

Monday’s Maze
Monday’s mist confuses my mind,
The darkness falls, the city’s grind,
I search for meaning in the haze,
Night’s silence taunts me with its daze.
Can I find my way, or lose myself too?
Through the city’s maze, who can I pursue?
Caffeine’s rush tries to boost my stride,
But doubts creep, and morning’s light hides.
Can I find my footing, or slip away?
In Monday’s maze, a brand new day.










Good Morning Everyone.   Happy Monday, Y'all...!

Hi everyone!
Woo hoo - a huge day!  Sum-eh made her first flight today from the nest to the perch. . 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1dkFhHS67I

Once she got that out of the way, she has made several longer forays, flying for extended periods and then returning to the nest.  It is an east wind this morning, so she is taking off into the east wind (to the right), and then also flying into the wind to land (so she lands coming in from the left).
Sum-eh will spend more time flying around, usually pretty close to the nest.  She will return, especially when Finnegan comes in with a fish!
As a pilot, I vividly remember the excitement of my first solo flight, and it is exciting that Sum-eh has "earned her wings."  This is a huge milestone for the Hellgate family. 
Here is a video of Sum-eh's first flight to the perch.

Good Morning!  Still have power!  Wind picking up!  The sound of pine cones hitting the house is unnerving!   Rain starting to flood the yard and a need for lights in the house!  Weather channel mentioning Valdosta !  Piper refused to go out! Going to charge my floor cleaner!   Wish I could send some rain to the fire ares!

Karen, yay! Hope you still have power now, too! Weather Channel has a meteorologist reporting live from Valdosta and interviewing someone from the town, who says most everything in Valdosta is closed. Maybe you can watch those live reports from Valdosta on your TV. You and Piper stay high and dry. Fingers crossed your trees stay standing and you don’t lose power!

Lani, yay for Sum-eh’s exciting fledge and successful flights to and from the nest!  :-* Great pics and report! Thanks for sharing that wonderful news. Iris and Finn must have big grins - especially Iris!!  :) :-* All good at my place. Debby won’t have much big effect here till maybe Thursday/Friday. Maybe. LOL, she’s going to keep everyone guessing for a while.

Lisa and BL, you’re back in the cone. Again. For now. Heavy rain may come your way. Stay tuned for updates. Who knows, really, at this point, zackly when.  ::)

Clynn, all good here!

TSK, fingers crossed for your family’s Florida properties to make it through okay. Nerve wracking!

Lator, Gators.  :)

Hi everyone!
Woo hoo - a huge day!  Sum-eh made her first flight today from the nest to the perch. . 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1dkFhHS67I

Once she got that out of the way, she has made several longer forays, flying for extended periods and then returning to the nest.  It is an east wind this morning, so she is taking off into the east wind (to the right), and then also flying into the wind to land (so she lands coming in from the left).
Sum-eh will spend more time flying around, usually pretty close to the nest.  She will return, especially when Finnegan comes in with a fish!
As a pilot, I vividly remember the excitement of my first solo flight, and it is exciting that Sum-eh has "earned her wings."  This is a huge milestone for the Hellgate family.

Lilac-breasted roller
©johan63 via Getty Images

The lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) gets its name from its acrobatic courtship display, which involves males repeatedly rising and plunging down with their wings tucked in to perform rolls while simultaneously shouting raucous calls. Lilac-breasted rollers grow 14.5 inches (37 cm) tall, with both males and females sporting a lilac throat and breast, a turquoise belly, a green head, a reddish-orange face and royal-blue tail tips.

The species lives in grasslands and wooded areas across eastern and southern Africa, from Ethiopia and Angola to northern South Africa. The birds sit on dead trees to survey their surroundings for prey, including grasshoppers, beetles, lizards, frogs and crabs. They are known to pick off animals that are fleeing from bush fires and to invade the nests of other birds, including kingfishers and woodpeckers.

Phyl - Thanks for the 365.  Oh my, AC on 83 at night, I would be sweating.  I get hot at night, and I keep mine on 76 all day.  Beautiful lilac-breasted roller

Lani, love that Hellgate video, and such a beautiful landing! I know we are all so happy beyond words!

karen just called me to say she is out of power, no word on when it will get fixed. Rain not so bad right now, should be all done by late tonight.Piper is barking at sticks and pine cones hitting the house, just small ones she said. No trees down. So that's good, I know she was worried about that. She has a Generac on order, but of course they are on back order!

Lisa, I leave my a/c on 74 night and day. The cats don't even want to go out on the deck today, it's 93 right now.  73 for the high tomorrow! YES!

Phyl, beautiful Lilac-breasted roller! Looks like she has blush on!

baz, glad to hear you are unscathed by Debby!

Surgeon reports a cyst on a vertebrae that is pressing on his nerve.  At last a diagnosis - Now all the steps to get ready for the procedure which would take place in a surgery center if it weren't for his 5 stents so now it will be a hospital...A repeat MRI on Sat will start things off and then we see him again.

Good evening!     Power went out right after I posted  this morning and away went the phone, internet, lights and ac that I keep at 72, 24/7!
Light’s   came on about 6:30 , after I finished a big homemade chef salad!   Pioer was sure someone was in the garage and I finally let her in  to check things out!  Since it will be in the nineties all week, I am glad
to have power!
Not sure if the Generac is back ordered or if the
 installer is over booked but I plan on calling them this week!

I was told  we had between  10 to 15  inches of rain  according to one city report but I have also read  close to 5 to 6 inches!   I believe these numbers!  Yard is about a mess from the wind!  I have a feeling there is a mess in the roof!  Expect the yard folks Friday so will have them check it out and clean up!   
Very tired so checking out!   My eyes  were strained all day , in the dark!  Do not do well in low light!   Stay safe up the coast and  tell Debby .downer to behave! 

Enjoy flying Sum-eh!  Stay safe.
Seds

Tsk really good news for Tim!    Debby was mire annoying than scary!  But yes, better to have someone around during bad weather!

Karen, that’s great news your power is on again, and you haven’t had any serious damage to your property! I hope you and Piper sleep well. Hugs! The noise a storm like that makes can be really scary, and I know it’s stressful going through the uncertainty of what might happen, and the waiting for the worst of the effects of a big storm to finally pass by can seem to take forever. It can really wear a person out!

Tig, you didn’t say what caused your power to go out, if you know, but I hope it isn’t out for long. At least you have a good excuse to stay relaxed and inclined.  ;) Oh, I see you updated your post that your power is back on. Yay!

Clynn, I want to drive on that road in Iowa! I’m thinking that might be the same famous road that has been in so many movie scenes. Iconic!


Thanks to all the Beakers sending me good vibes and wishes for dealing with whatever Storm Debby brings my way.  :-* The reason I haven’t been affected by Debby is because it hasn’t gotten to me yet! But it is getting close, and my area will be affected, but I live where the anticipated flooding will not get into my home, thankfully. Depending on just how much rain I get, I could be stuck in my dry home for a day or so due to being cutoff by flooded roads around me. I’ve definitely had that situation before from tropical storms. Luckily, my area is not expected to bear the significant and disastrous effects that many places have, or still will. I feel so awful for those enduring disastrous effects from Debby. Prayers for all in its path. Hopefully, I won’t take a direct hit from any of the many tropical-related tornadoes it’s feeder bands will produce. That is my concern with tropical storm systems. Those types of tornadoes tend to be small, not strong - typically EF0 or EF1 - and short-lived. Nevertheless, if one strikes, it still does damage, and people get killed by them, often by trees toppled by them onto homes or cars that people are in. Also, they tend to be very quick spin-ups, and often don’t get warned with much advance notice at all, and sometimes with no notice till after they have hit. They scare me, but my “safe room” is set up and ready for Zip and I to dash to if needed.

Have a good night, All. Peace. SED.

Wow!  Piper and I are up for some strange reason!  Have some calls to makebut it is way too early!  I am not sure we are having garbage pickup at dark thirty today and did not put it out.  Thought it was still a little stormy and could not get an answer on wm website!  They were closed yesterday!  May have to call for a missed pickup!  Help may not come today as she had no power or water yesterday and the school starting was delayed a day.   Bot .savannah and charleston  look like they will be in serious trouble.  Florida is having major issues!  There is  another disturbance lurking out there!  Baz. We had at least 16  hours of tornado watches!  Stay safe!  Clynn, much of the  coastal area has a water level that is too igh for a basement and other places arts just do not have them!    Hmmm, may go back to sleep!   Piper is snoring!

Lani, thanks for the Best of 1965 songs, boy did that bring back memories! It was the best music! I subscribed to the channel! Plenty of Rolling Stones, Beatles, Dave Clark Five etc! There were only a couple that I didn't remember. Help me Rhonda, that was the song we played for Kelsey when she was having one of her fits. It always calmed her down, I have no idea why. We had it queued up on the CD player. Thankfully she outgrew those episodes. Oh, if only some of that rain in the southeast could be channeled to the fires in the southwest... We are loving watching our Hellgate family thrive...so wonderful after the long wait we had! Love the second pic, Iris (or Finn) watching over the kids...

karen, glad to hear your power came back on, that was pretty fast! Ooh, the tornado watches, we are used to those here in the Midwest! I know why you don't have basements down there, I just wish you did! Do you think Piper will go out today? Keep your eye out for those tornadoes...

baz, all is well so far, still praying that you will be safe. Same as for karen, keep your eye out for those tornadoes! A trip to the safe room is never wasted!

tsk, hoping that this surgery is the answer to Tim's issues! That music video, what memories! I always remember the companion to Eve of Destruction - The Dawn of Correction!   https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=youtube+dawn+of+correction+song&&mid=55E67F7BDCCC8F0E10D055E67F7BDCCC8F0E10D0&&FORM=VRDGAR

clynn - Love the pic of the bridge in France, would love to drive that! 

Phyl - I am hoping after Debby passes that we have a nice cool down.  Today is another warm one with  91% humidity. Pretty sunflower eyes on the bird. 

tsk - So glad to hear that Tim got some answers of why he is in so much pain.  Good luck with the MRI, and going forward.  I know you will keep up posted!

karen - That is alot of rain, but glad that you made out ok. 

tig - Glad you got your power back. 

baz - Gonna say it again, you and Zippo be safe.   :)

Pioer and I did go back to bed and slept some!  She was snoring and tgen dreaming, a tiny whimper and a few soft barks with a few movements of her feet!  She is so sweet!   She did eventually go out during a few slight lulls in Debby!
Wind is still  creating some swaying trees!  Back yard a real mess!  Help not coming!  Cancelled a dermatology appointment, rescheduled for mmid September!
Lol Lisa!  I will not even drive over your bridge  let alone that bridge in France.
Putt , my first car was a Plymouth Belvedere, 1960.   I had been working 5 years when Lanis 1965 music list was published!

Hello everyone,
For the next couple of days you will notice lots of trucks and trailers in the parking lot behind the Hellgate nest.  We just found out that the movie series Yellowstone is filming in town, and they have rented the parking lots at Missoula College.
I met with a manager on site and showed him Iris and the Hellgate nest. The parking lot is going to be pretty full, but Iris is certainly used to having lots of people around. 
Best, Erick Greene and the Montana Osprey Team

Well, it seems I missed the storm last night - We got 3/4" of rain.  Much less humid today with lots of wind!  No sun.

CLYNN  Black and white/silver/ gray AM memes today  ;D    Cute owl - love the talons :)  No thank you on the Millau Viaduct bridge in France.  I'm more the Golden Bride type  LOL

PHYL  The bluebird of Happiness was over my head at the Bath and Body Works this AM.  They would not accept cash for my purchases -" our computer is down" ..Walked out.  One of my biggest pet peeves. :P :P   Cute little beaver  :)   That landmark "goo" would be revolutionary!  I suspect not in our life time.  They've also come up with a possible new Alzheimers drug - not on the market it..

LISA  Wonder how you learn to do those decorations in the coffee?  Only you could drive that bridge!!!  ;D ;D

LANI   WOW  I finally caught Yellowstone when it went to network as I don't stream stuff.  Not a redeemable character in that whole series  LOLOL  But was addicted to it.  So glad Dr Greene talked with the site mgr.  Hope those kids can fledge in safety. :-*

PUFF   How was your meeting?  Didn't hear from you.  ;) ;)

Saw that wonderful bridge in vietnam yesterday I think on a twitter post of the most beautiful bridges in the world. Over 20 if I remember, but thought the hand one was the best and it was number one of many.

This time I do...many in town don't....just very busy trying to catch up with weeding and other things postponed with all our rain/storms.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

All good at my house. I haven't had to use my "safe room" yet, though it is ready if needed. I am under a tornado watch till 5pm today - I'm sure it will get expended. I haven't had any tornadoes yet near me, but there have been 4 tornadoes so far this morning in a neighboring county - they were about 20-25 miles from me. They generally get created along with the tropical rain bands. Some of Debby's outer heavy rain bands have gotten to me now. I have had some periods of torrential rain, but not the tornadoes at my town yet. My town is now forecast to get 12-18 inches of rain, through Saturday. The local National Weather Service office is forecasting 12 inches of rain locally, with areas of higher amounts, depending on the location of those bands of heavy rain, which create a training effect for some places. Zippo and I are just hanging out, eating "storm snacks"  ::)  LOL, and watching the weather out the window. Ho hum.

Karen, I'm glad you and Piper got back to sleep for some extra zzzzs after an early morning wake-up. LOL, cute on Piper's demonstrative dreaming.  :D :-* :-*  I'm glad you haven't lost power a second time. That happens so often with tropical weather systems - when they are "coming," and then again when they are "going,"  and also sometimes when the power companies are in the process of working on equipment while hooking connections back up, too.  I have seen on the Weather Channel this afternoon about Valdosta's gusty winds still - greater than 50 mph today at times - with you getting the backside of Debby's winds now. You will be able to wave buh-bye soon to Debby!!  ;)  Fingers crossed you don't lose power again before those winds are gone for good from your area.  :)


Waving to (((All the Beakers)))! Take care, All!  :)

New doctor said I should have had knee replacement 2 years ago. It is a tough decision... but I guess I need to dig in and get stronger. He said my weight could come down, but not necessary.
I'm planning to have the surgery a year from now. Sigh.
Camper was with me at the appointment. We decided to stop at a favorite burger place on the way home. Comfort food was good.
Back to the pool in the morning.

{{{Tig}}}  I hear ya on the knee replacement.  My ortho doc/surgeon is still in Paris w/ the soccer team. Think I'll call her
office and see if I can get in when she returns. Hopefully, not much of a wait.
I agree on 'Yellowstone' assessment---too soapy.

{{{Bazi}}} something tells me you/Zippo gonna be fine  ;)

Tsk never been in a 'Bath/Body Works' .R they same as 'Bed, Bath and Beyond'; glad you missed the rain and all; Oh I hope 'the goo' will not
be too far off for me and others.

Karen glad you wnet back to bed/got some Z's; hopefully no more electrical outages

Lani  Iris, Finn and kid-Os ...Dr. Green would know best I'm sure.

KB  guard your back ---you know?

Well, I think I'm caught up for the night. Time to get chow on the table.  Spaghetti w/homemade meatballs in a Italian & veggie meat sauce

BAZI  so you are just waiting it out.  Did you start a puzzle?  ;) ;)

We've seen these slow moving tropical remnants linger before and they just suck .

Sit and spin - the wrong way - lather rinse repeat - RAIN.

If it's going to cross your X on the map you always want it to come and go as quickly as possible like a Band Aid ripped off.

Baziunc you and Zippo keeping your Crackers dry by the Fear make us smile.

The Debby rain bands look tolerable there.

Well, tsk  I did make it home.  Meeting ended at 3 - a little late - got home amost 5:30 - a lot late.  You'd understand my delayed ride.  Got on 294 at I190 with ORD arrivers.  Construction traffic started by I90 mergers, that followed by accident.  Long story - led to six lanes down to 2 lanes until I88.  Didn't even stop for a chopped salad I thought I deserved.  :-[  Munched on some sliced cheese and choc chip cookies and milk for dinner.  Flopped into bed to watch day's Olympic replays.  Plus the extra stops I wanted to fit in yesterday afternoon went no where.   Rain - what rain?  Got caught up on things I had on that "to do" list.  Didn't even check the gauge. 

Lots of worries and anticipation for all the "stuff" being done for beakers/ to beakers.  I know it's just the unknown - but we do have lots of all our experiences posted here to say the worry is worse than needed.  We've catalog lasix, knees, backs, medication available along with their effectiveness, rehabs, treatments etc, etc, etc.  We should dwell on the many prayers, comforting words and thoughts, hugs,  and our God to get us back into a comfort zone. 

For all my dear, lovely friends here - let's keep sharing the optimistic.

My new doctor will have a colleague contact me because he does guided shots. The doctor explained my right knee is too bad for a custom knee though.

NZ?  Really?  That's a good one.  I was near there on Monday.  Well, for 6 hours, almost.  The conference tsk was asking about was a 6 hour seminar on Australia and Tahiti, mostly Australia.
We had 16 Aussies honchos speak their messages to us.  Almost understood all the words they said.   ;D  Love accents.  Tahiti was a repeat, I've done 10 days there.  In case anyone is listening - 1 or 2 days should be planned for Pepeete on Tahiti Island.  For the ambiance and culture of the islands, about 4 or 5 days each on Bora Bora and Mo'orea.

All new to me was the info on Tatiaroa and the Marquases Islands.  Whole new set to learn about, visit?  In my bucket.  Wish I knew your plans sooner.

Phyl, Can't get no caffeination! Love it! Peace! Wednesday's Wisdom, very thought provoking...  Depresso!!!

tsk, our old music is the best! Songs we could sing to and be happy! Or sad, in some cases. The first 45 I bought in Jr. High. Last Kiss. J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers

Lani, never watched Yellowstone, the previews looked too soapy. Don't want my image of Yellowstone marred!  ;D  My first car was a 1962 Ford Falcon with a Viet Nam sticker on the trunk top. Dad got it for my 18th birthday, column shift, which I had never driven! He told me later that he paid $275 for it! I drove it to death...  I recognize several of the 1960 songs! Mom and Dad probably played them!  Looks like a huge crowd at Hellgate, I am surprised Dr. Green went along with it. Maybe he didn't! It looks like the ospreys are handling it okay though!

BL, New Zealand?  Wow, what will you do there? Are you going to horrible locations? Wonder if you will be anywhere close to the Royal Albys. May you fly out soon!

Puff, sounds like you had a miserable ride home from your meeting!

karen, glad to hear that your weather has calmed down, now Piper can go out and do his business?

Phyl, I love Bath & Body Works! I have probably 25 of their 'Fine Fragrance' body sprays, they are my light scented everyday scents. Great lotions and bath items. Bed Bath and Beyond was bought by Wayfair and closed all their brick & Mortar stores. They are online only now.  Love your little Good Night girl!

baz, glad to hear that you fared well by Debby!

Hellgate invasion is really concerning. . . Do we know how long they're suppose to be there?

My ride from hell - It's not that commonplace, one reason I posted it was it was "unique", called living in the big city.  It doesn't happen every day.  Thanks God!  (That's another advantage of NOT living in the big city.  Been there, done that.)

Thanks for the wild find clynn.  Dozens of trips to Nevada - Never saw that beautiful landscape.

Clynn, lol, one reason I fared well by Debby is because Debby hasn’t gotten to me yet!! It is currently 50 miles southeast of Charleston, SC, over the ocean! It is just hanging out over the water south of NC. It is only moving at 4 mph! Category Slow! It won’t get to me till some time tomorrow. Lol. Zippo and I are just hanging out watching stuff drip.

Here is the National Hurricane Center’s info about it, as of 8 AM, EDT, this morning. See the Discussion section for when it will go where, and below that is the expected impacts over the next couple of days:

Debby’s current cone graphic, as of 8AM, EDT. It shows the expected 2nd landfall in ne SC overnight tonight, then moving inland through SC to NC, west of me, and on north from there. So its center isn’t expected now to come all that close to me, but its rains still will, and some wind, but not too much of that. The rain is the thing.

Prince to be, waiting for a kiss!

Morning all.

Phyl - yes thanks. I did feel a familiar "twinge" in my back while weeding/tying up climbing roses etc., so stopped...just working a little slower than break neck speed....I have all the time in the world anyway!...LOL

Lani - I don't like the looks of all those vehicles either...the ospreys seem to be okay, but who knows really?

Seems like the TS could have been much worse for Beakers anyway than is or will be..good news.

BL - how fun to head for New Zealand...I had a fellow student from there in Chiropractic school in my class. I assume she headed back home when done, but I never followed up for sure. Her accent stood out in Southern California at the time.

Good Morning Beakers
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e8/56/dc/e856dccb13c68a88139ee83b84e7da95.jpg)

I had an early vet appointment for Bandit.  My big guy is not feeling well.  He got an IV of fluids, something for nausea, and an antibiotics shots just in case. 
Have to keep an eye on him today to see if he eats, drinks and goes to the potty.

baz - LOL, eating your storm snacks! Oh, I see I am getting further out of the cone from your latest post!

tig - Knee replacement...big decision. 

Phyl - Your dinner sounded delish last night. Thanks for the 365.

tsk - Love Bath & Body Works hand soap, good deals on them at Christmas time. So many good scents too.

Puff - Glad you made it home after a long day. 

BL - Hope you are able to get to NZ.  I have some friends in Chriustchurch, too!

Lani - Thanks for the Hellgate pics.  I hope someone catches Kevin on cam  ;D ;D

clynn - Wow, that pic from Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada!  Is it munchkin day?  When do they start school?

kb - Glad you are taking it slow with your yard work.

Howdy Beakers.  :)

All good at my place. Four or 5 tropical tornadoes so far today have forced my NOAA Weather Radio to blare loudly - all of them were either north or west of me, so far, so Zip and I didn't need to dash to our Safe Room for them. But the skies have just turned dark here, and the wind is starting to get breezy. Our biggest rains will be tonight and tomorrow, and out biggest winds, expected only to be around 50-60 mph near me, will be tomorrow and tomorrow night. The heavier rain bands are what's heading my way soon, even though the center of Debby will stay west of me after it comes back on shore overnight tonight in SC. Those heavier rain bands are what may bring more tornadoes in my direction. The "safe room" is ready if needed. Zippo slept there last night, and will again tonight, just to be on the safe side. We're still expecting 10+ inches of flooding rains to drop here, starting later today, and through Friday... mostly tonight and especially tomorrow.

Lisa, LOL, Kevin is out of "Yellowstone." He's not coming back for the upcoming Season 6. So don't think Iris and Finn will get his autograph at Hellgate.  ;)  I stopped watching it in Season 2 - got tired of the "soap" storyline that was fairly recipe-predictable, with way too much raw sex/skin scenes and hardcore violence. I have quit watching that kind of violent stuff because it isn't good for my psyche.  You're still going to get a lot of rain when whatever's left of Debby blows past you this weekend. At least that's what the word is right now. Who knows for real. LOL.  (((Bandit)))  I hope Bandit is feeling much better soon!  :-*

BL, hope your departure for NZ happens as planned, or with minumum delay... lots of rain up NY/NJ way, so hope your flight happens. Happy trails to you!

Tig, at least you have time to make a decision on potential surgery. Every situation is different, for sure. I made the decision not to do it - they will have to pry my natural leg bones from my cold dead hands.  ;) 8)

TSK, I'm glad Tim has a promising surgical solution in the works, and prayers for his quick healing and recovery afterward. How have your family members' FL homes fared this week? Some flooding still going on, and some inland rivers still collecting rains. I hope their homes stay dry!

Karen, I hope your help can come by tomorrow, if not today, if things at their home have stabilized - power outage, and such. I hope your roof and yard will all check out A-OK after your yard-helper gets to look things over. It sounds like Piper is back in his regular routine again. So glad you didn't have a long power outage or severe property damage!

Phyl, LOL on "can't get no caffeination!!" ;D   I got my caffeination today!!  Late breakfast here, at lunch time! I was dragging, so I had a larger than usual pot of coffee and toasted mini "everything" bagels with cream cheese and thin-sliced smoked salmon. Divine.  :D

Clynn, is tomorrow your last summer Wednesday with the Munchkins?

Lani, I don't like all that filming hubbub right under Iris and Finn and their kids' beaks!! I'm glad Dr. Greene was able to get up in the blind for his close-up photography before all that mayhem broke loose in the parking lot! I'm looking forward to his photos. I hope the filming there won't last much longer - seems like a lot of disturbance so close to the nest, and especially at fledge time!! Talons crossed all will be OK with the Hellgate Ospreys!!  :-*

Gorgeous day today so took a "day trip" to Kenosha - 1 hour north across the border into Wis.  Ate at the infamous Franks diner.

Old railroad car been there forever.   https://www.franksdinerkenosha.com/  Then to the history museum to see AMC cars that have been in movies.  :)  Kenosha - being a waterfront town was big for all kinds of business as Wisconsin was a growing state.
Then took a walk out to the lighthouse and back - I hang on to Tim - he almost fell once but he did fall in the house when we got home  sigh...All OK

PHYL  AM singing pup   ;D   " Depresso"  Good one.

CLYNN  I remember having the Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie..45 among several other of those on that list.  Sure do remember Last Kiss  LOL   I miss our Bed Bath and Beyond.  Thanks for reminding me who bought them.  Stunning Valley of Fire WOW

LISA  Oh no  Sorry to hear about Bandit.  Did they do any tests?  I remember several cats ago Kaboodle the trouble maker ate a rubber band - which we did not know - then of course did not feel well.  As I remember after the Xray they saw it and felt it would just pass.  We had to be so careful of rubberbands after that.  How did Bandit do on the fluids?

BAZI  I presume my SIL's area in Naples is OK or she would have said something. Don't forget your Brolly  LOL

KB  Tuna casserole was comfort food when we were growing up.  :)

Baz - Oops, I thought he was still on this season.  I don’t watch the show, so guess I should have looked before I made that comment.   ::)

Tsk - Bandit had bloodwork in Sept 2023, and it was perfect, so the vet said, let’s wait and see how he is till tomorrow.  I had given him a couple slices of Filet Mignon on Monday for lunch, and she said that could have messed up his stomach. Frank’s diner looks good. 

Lani - Thanks for the update from Hellgate.   

Night, everyone

LANI   Thanks for the update on Hellgate.  Glad Dr Greene is keeping an eye on things.  Won't be too long and the kids will be gone.
Wonder where kids park when school starts???  I read further and they won't be there but a few days.  Good  All that work for a few days. Hmmm.

LISA   Lulu has no interest in people food - not even Costco chicken  LOL  Lucy used to devour it!   Hope Bandit is better today.

KAREN   I thought about that - You would have been 30 minutes from Franks.  I think when we first met you , you were making those trips to northern Il.?

PHYL   Good title " hide and seek"  :)   You're reminding me this AM about my procrastination re: washing the kitchen floor  :o

tsk, Harley is not interested in any people food either, neither was Honey. Sam and Sophie like chicken sometimes... Like you, I will be glad when the Yellowstone people have moved on...

Phyl, love Snoopy doing the charwoman chores! We will have a wonderful high of 74 today! The Iowa State Fair is going to have beautiful weather for most of the time, the parade is this afternoon. Ed always goes with the Veterans group in the parade. Erin and Sydney are taking the kids to watch the parade, it's a big deal here!  The View Master! I have sold several of those on eBay! The whole family used to watch Candid Camera! So many tv shows that were good family entertainment!

Lani, would love to be on that beach watching the beautiful sunset with TF! Your Hellgate pictures, wow, I never realized how much would be involved in shooting a scene! It looks like a small city! The second picture looks like Iris and the kids are discussing the crowd!

karen, hope you and Piper got some rest last night! When I go to Mom's she makes tuna noodle casserole, meat loaf and ham & beans for me! Love those meals from childhood, but Ed does not! He says they had them too much! He doesn't care for casseroles at all. There were 7 kids in his family so they had casseroles often.  :o

tsk, sounds like you and Tim had a good visit to WI yesterday! I would have a hard time choosing from the menu at Frank's Diner, maybe I would try a garbage plate. But bet I couldn't eat it all!

Lisa, hope Bandit's blood work is okay and it was just the treat! Imagine being allergic to filet mignon!

baz, I do keep getting it wrong about your Debby effects, I think because I am not sure exactly where you live! Anyway, hope it's minor! The Munchkins start school on 8/23 so I will have 2 more Wednesdays with them. We will have them tomorrow evening so Erin and Sydney can go to the Iowa State Fair with some of their friends.

Lisa, yes it was Munchkin's Day. Would have been nice to go to the park but it is still not done! Notice the lunch technology, not Kelsey though! She is concentrating on lunch! Bella got her microwave s'mores, it was good but messy! Talon always wants vanilla ice cream, 'the kind you scoop out of a container'. I think he is hooked on Tillamook Vanilla Bean...my favorite!

Lani - Another beautiful Royal pic.   

Phyl - Thank you, Maggie.  Love the throwbacks!

tsk - The vet yesterday was a relief vet, and I really liked her.  She was very thorough.  I thought she was gonna scold me for the people food, but she understood that some cats are just picky.  Bandit greeting us at 4:30am, went to the potty, drank some water and ate a bit of food.  He is still laying around, but at least he is eating, drinking and using the potty today. He seems to be back to normal.

The distance between the tower and nest is just under a mile..the MPLS airport is to the right of the lake.

CLYNN  In our house I call a casserole - a stir fry where I clean out the frig  LOLOL  I take a Costco chicken and cut up the breasts into 2 cup portions and freeze in a zip lock.  Toss them into the stir fry in automatic 2 C portions. ;D  The garbage plate ( half for me is 3 eggs) is delicious.  I ate half of it  and one slice of their 1" thick homemade bread.  Tim finished it all off last night for dinner.  LOL
Too bad the park isn't done yet.  Soon will be winter  ;D :o ::)   Boy, Isn't that Loess view something. I can see the hiking trail.

LISA  Indeed a beautiful morning table.  Sounds like Bandit is OK  One more day will cinch it. Speaking of vets, on our local chatter FB page it seems the vets we like have left our clinic - a current trend people are seeing - as our clinic has now been bought out by Heartland...Don't know the full story but is making lots of folks angry.

KB   WOW  that is amazing.  I had no idea all those countries could fit into Africa.  Thanks for the orientation to  your city etc.  Nice photo.

Royal Albatross update

Top Flat chick is 196 days old and weighs 8.3 kg. The last recorded weight was 8 kg after which he was supplementary fed 1.6 kg fluids and fish. He may be supplementary fed again tomorrow.

By this stage, peak weight of a toroa chick has been reached and they start losing weigh prior to fledging.

https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/royal-cam/track-the-chicks-weight/

Top Flat Track chick is 188 days old and weighs 8.8 kg. The last recorded weight was 10.5 kg.
We are unable to keep both chicks on cam at the same time now as they are further apart. We pan over to Top Flat Track chick when we can.

Stainless steel banding of the colony’s chicks will occur on Friday 9th 2024

What To Expect On The Royal Albatross Cam: July–August | Banding And Preparing To Fledge.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzKjZ2iiUks&t=30s

A normal part of preparing to fledge is regurgitation of a bolus of hard indigestible parts of food in the developing chick’s stomach.
Increasing, we are finding plastic in these boluses, but they should be made up of squid beaks and bones. Below photo.

Tsk luv the 'Lady bug';  no intention to remind you of your 'chores'. But every bit a statement of me "doing mine' today as always.
In the old days diners always had good food---glad you found one like that.

Clynn cute 'she shed'; we watched  Candid Camera until the last. So much fun; tks for snaps of the Munchkins from yesterday.
Let's see you have two more 'Wednesdays' before school resumes?  :-\

Karen / Bazi hope you gals and pets are doing well.   LOL your comment about Monsieur Pepe.

Lisa glad to read Bandit  behaving more his old self.

Hi Kb gor it.  Awesome about Africa---saw the same several years back. Tks
Cool drone view of your area---tks for the local of your house and The Towers water tower.
Most of all---many thanks (Tsk too) for the low down on the private equities buy out of vet clinics. Was not
aware until just now .

Lani tks for the Royal Albie update---that barf-up contents doesn't look good. Even humans are finding 'micro plastics' in the blood
stream I read in one Nat'l  Geo  mag  article several issues back. Scary. TF looks great. tks for the osprey snaps--they are impressive family---nest.

Whispers of the Sun     

Softly falls the morning dew
On sunflower petals, tales anew
Of secrets whispered by the sun
As petals lift to greet the dawn begun
In languages of green and gold
The sun imparts its wisdom old
To those who listen, heart and soul
As sunflowers stand, their stories whole

Could it be that he's hooked on the icecream because someone else  ::) was already hooked herself?  Grandma influence.

Dang, I had a post almost done, thought I had hit post. Came back and hit the refresh and realized I did not hit POST! 

Puff, love the scenery at Deckhand Dave's! I would love to sit there and eat and look at the mountains all day! Yes, the Munchkins are both very flexibel! I think we were too, back in the very old days! I will admit, I did get Talon hooked on the Tillamook Vanilla Bean, my favorite!

Phyl, love that Teddy Bear sunflower! I googled it and can get seeds, Ed can plant some with Bella in the spring! It says they only get 3-5' tall, perfect for her! Whispers of the Sun, are you the author? Beautiful words!

Lani, I can't wait to see more of Dr. Greene's pictures of Iris, Finn and the kids! Beautiful shots you posted today! The Albies will soon be ready to take off? They are so beautiful, so snowy white with that splash of black! Thank you for the updates! And they all get banded tomorrow! Hope they have a video! Here is a squid beak:

kb, great pic of I-35 to Minneapolis, I have been on that road several times! I love aerial views!

tsk,my Mom used to stick leftover vegetables from dinner in the freezer, and when she had enough she would make soup. Cathy and I called it 'poopy soup', I don't know why except that it rhymed! We liked it!

Lisa, good that Bandit is back to himself, almost! Sometimes they just don't feel good! No more filet mignon for that boy! Sam loves pompoms, he chases them all over the house, he likes to get them under the rugs. Here is a pic, I heard Kelsey laughing and she was laughing at this:

Hi Beakers!

All good at my house - still have rain and wind off and on - as the remaining bands of Debby go by. That will last here till Friday night or Saturday morning, apparently - trailing bands will lag after Debby has skedaddled her way on up north and into Canada. Debby leaving her calling card. LOL. I never lost power. Yay. Zippo will be glad when Debby is a done deal - she's tired of spending the night in the Safe Room.  :D  :)

Clynn, I live in the coastal southeastern corner of NC. Great pics of The Munchkins and Kelsey!  :) :-*  Glad you have another couple Wednesdays before they start back to school! Wow on the Iowa State Fair already! Fun! Seems so early to me - my state fair isn't until the last half of October.

TSK, sounds like a fun day trip for you and Tim. I think I saw it was National Lighthouse day - yesterday, or recently? Free admission to a lot of lighthouses in these parts for that, per a news blurb I caught in passing on TV.  Oh, I'm sorry Tim took that fall. Glad to hear he's okay.

Lisa, I have no idea if Yellowstone is on hiatus right now, or if there is a current season of Yellowstone airing these days, and if so, if Costner is in it. LOL. I also don't know what season the current filming at Hellgate is for. I had just seen some mention in passing on TV that the upcoming new Season 6 won't include Costner. I'm glad ((Bandit)) is feeling okay today! Yay!  :-*  To help out, you can send me your leftover filet mignon in the future!  ;) :D :D

Phyl, are you the author of the recent poetry you have been posting? Or maybe I missed you saying who is? I guess I don't understand what you're telling me about you knew about that info I mentioned about Yellowstone and you had posted about it in the Hellgate thread. I imagine many people know about that. I don't keep up with the news about that show myself, but I was just mentioning to Lisa why I didn't think Kevin Costner would be at the filming location near Hellgate. No matter though. Those Teddy Bear Sunflowers do look cuddly!  :D

Lani, that's great news that the Hellgate Ospreys are not bothered by the filming activity.  :-*  I love Dr. Greene's photos!  :) Thanks for the Royal Albies report!  :-*

Karen, yum! Is your tuna casserole on tonight's menu?  I would like some, please, if it is - I haven't had any in I don't know how long, and I don't have anything planned for dinner yet!  ;) :D




I'm off to the kitchen to investigate my options for dinner since I have a feeling I'm not getting any tuna casserole from Karen tonight.  ;) :D

Phyl, I enjoyed going back to see the nature videos of the Purple Heron.... fan of Candid Camera... I had a view master.... stunning sapphire... I love sunflowers, sweet poem.

Tsk, The faculty and students of Missoula College use the parking lot near Hellgate nest. They keep a safe distance from the fenced area around the nest...  Sounds like a nice day in Kenosha.... great menu from Frank's Diner, and they serve spam too! LOL! Love the item menu names. Cake & Tuck sounds good to me.  ;D ... sending prayers for Tim. ... I was surprised TFT had lost weight, he was a big boy, especially since he's 13 days younger than TF.

Clynn, love this morning's posts, especially the shed.... How was the parade? I bet the munchkins enjoyed watching Ed...Too bad the park wasn't available for the kids this summer...  fun pics of the munchkins in red. Tillamook Vanilla Bean is Mike's favorite too... "poopy soup" ;D... Sam blends so well with your beautiful kitchen rugs. LOL! Norman loves playing with the kitchen rug edges....

kb beautiful drone pic of your city... I read about a private equity buying veterinarian clinics nation wide, Aly sent me an article about it yesterday. One particular group JAB Holding is from Germany, they've also bought Krispy Kreme, Panera, etc....  Two of Payson's vet clinics are now owned by a corporation from the valley. Trainees have now replaced longtime vets....

Lani, I was wrong, the Veterans Parade is Monday! The Munchkins will be here this evening, I will ask them about the Fair Parade that was yesterday! So Norman is a 'rugger' too! I love the way they each have their own personality! Sophie is the 'inspector', any bag that comes into the house has to be inspected by her! When you pet Sam, he has to munch on the dry cat food immediately after, and if you pet Sophie, she has to give you a licking bath. They are so funny, she with her springs and him with the pompoms!  Beautiful sunset in CO!

tig, all will be okay... Seems we are all hit with things as we age... and we just have to go with the flow.

BL, I assume you made it and are having a great time already!

oldguy, love the Cat Olympics video! Thanks for all the entertainment!

baz, I have totally lost track of Debby too, and when it was coming your way! LOLOL! You are home and safe, all that matters!

Yikes, I am two pages behind since yesterday morning.   :o
We are under a tornado warning till 2pm, cause of Debby.  Heavy rain is to the West of us, but seen on the local news that downtown Annapolis has already started flooding. 

karen - I hope Pepe is not either. 

kb - Pretty drone view of your area.  Thanks for the answer to my question to tsk about Heartland.

tsk - Is Heartland like a franchise? Bandit seems better, but really not eating alot, small meals thru the day.

Lani - Great pics, and updates from Hellgate, and the Royal Cam.  Oh no, Milo needing his teeth pulled and a new heating element is costly!

Phyl - Thanks  :)  Nice poem, and pretty sunflowers.

((clynn)) - I am so very sorry to hear about your Aunt June.  Hugs and prayers to everyone! Glad to hear your Aunt Linda is doing better.  I love your rugs!  Cute pic of Sam messing them up.   ;D  Poopy soup...LOL  Love the wee path under the trees in Scotland.

baz - Making a note...send leftover Filet Mignon to you!  :D

tig - ((Camper))  hope his new medication works for his thyroid problem. 

oldguy - LOL, you said it...Debby is the storm that keeps on giving!

BL - Hope you are having a nice trip.  :)

Howdy Beakers!

One question... Why would anyone have any leftover filet mignon??  ???  Just wondering... LOL!!   ;) ;) :D


Tig, (((Camper))). Several of my family members have taken meds for hypothyroidism, and haven't had any issues. They do get labs for that on a regular schedule though because sometimes the dosage needs to be adjusted. I hope Camper will feel better with his treatment.

BL, you've gone back to the future! LOL. Have a great trip! Next time maybe you can take the DeLorean Time Machine!  ;) ;D

Lisa, those tropical tornadoes are scary and a mess. Debby is a major Downer! It's so sad to see all the homes and businesses getting flooding damage - it take so long, and costs so much, to fix it all afterward. I just hate it for them! I hope your home doesn't get water in it! So many towns in so many states getting flooding from Debby!! I'm getting one last-gasp dangling rain band from her now - 2-3 inches of Debby downpours forecasted for me today - it just started about 20 minutes ago. Torrential downpours.  ::) :P After today, I am finally done with Debby's effects here! Hope you don't have a lot of trouble from it after today either! My niece/husband/LGN/Baby Bro all had to go downstairs a little before 8am this morning for safety because of a tornado that came over their town... one of many tornadoes in your area today, as you know. Stay safe!

OG, Debby has been a stinker every dang place she's gone!!  :P :P :P

Clynn, the parades will be fun to go to! Wow, wouldn't that be great to walk that wee path through those giant trees in Scotland!

Lani, awww, ((Milo)) has to have teeth extracted. Ugh on dryer repair. Don't know about the newfangled dryers these days. It sounds like an expensive repair. I guess any time anyone has to come to our homes to do any kind of repair, it's expensive.  I replaced one of the two heating elements in my dryer, way back when. The element was cheap, and my labor was cheaper.  8) I'm still using it!

TSK, another fun lunch outing with "the girls!" Enjoy!

Karen, hope your yard drains quickly especially for Piper to go out!  After Debby's last after-effects rain finally leaves here today, like you, I will be getting more thunderstorms too, unrelated to Debby, for the next 4 days. That time of year, I guess. Fingers crossed that soon-to-be-Ernesto can read the "Not Welcome!" signs, and turns north after he visits the Bahamas and then stays out to sea from there!


Take care, All.  :)

Wow !isa!  That is a lot of water!   I am guessing they do not have flood insurance and that they are going to-lose a lot  of  food!   Maybe  stoves, refrigerators , washers etc!  Hop they can survive and reopen!    The first disaster I worked was in Ms and the whole town of Hattiesburg smelled like Pine Sol!   Good luck to all these businesses!
Newspaper  today reported that  Debby moved east just before  moving over my county, hence our  lower rain totals!  What was good for us was unfortunately bad for someone else.

Not sure that the equity buy outs are bad and believe it may have to do with the terms of the contract!   Doctors here have been bought out by the hospital for several years,  my  ent practice  sold to a private equity  firm.   Several vets have sold to private  equity firms.   I have not noticed any difference  in services!
Hope everyone has had a nice day and is enjoying the evening!

Tsk, Dryer is 3 years old... heating element was the problem. But, the repairman suggested I get the dryer vent line that goes outside checked and cleaned. I'll do that first thing Monday.

Lisa, Milo's dental surgery will cost as much as the AC repair job we had last month. $$$$  :( ... terrible flooding in your area. I hope your feral kitties are snug in Jeff's B&B. Be safe and take care.  :-*

Phyl, love your morning pics... the handpainted pieces remind me of something I would find in a Swedish shop... Strawberry kitty  :-*... thanks for info on the Perseid meteor shower

Tsk, Enjoy your luncheon with the girls. I wish I was going on the river boat cruise too!  ;D

Life’s Symphony

In harmony we lived, in rhythm we danced,
Our footsteps echoing, a wondrous prance.

With every breath, a new note we’d play,
A melody of love, that would never stray.

Though life’s score is unwritten, we’ve played our part,
A symphony of memories, forever in our heart.

---Unknown

Dear CLynn and family,

So sorry to hear of the loss of your Aunt June.
You are in our prayers---candle lit on our prayer alter.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING

LANI   Heading to Sturgis  LOL   So maybe just getting the vent line checked will solve the problem???  Nice repairman to suggest that.

LISA    Holy smokes - That is some significant flooding. :o :o   

TIG  Your yard is lovely - Very welcoming and  cozy is how I would describe it.  :D   I also have a friend who lives in upper Mich. and she has been on thyroid meds for eons.  No problems and she's 90  ;) ;)

BAZI  Love the idea of a DeLorean time machine for BL  LOLOL   WOW  Close call for your niece.  Nope all ended up OK for them.

CLYNN

tsk, thank you, and thank you all for the comforting words...  We have been remembering the good times!

Phyl, thank you for the sweet words... they mean a lot...

Lani, thank you as well, Cathy and I will both be there Wednesday, Becky and Jennifer are already there. I'm glad we can all be there for Mom.

Lani, washers and dryer used to last years...not so much these days. We moved to Iowa in 1996 with a GE washer and dryer that my Dad got for us when we were first married in 1984. It was a used set even then! The dryer finally gave out around 2010 and we got a new set. That washer gave out around 2017 and we got another new set. That one is still going. Fingers crossed! And now we have a home warranty policy.

Lisa, I saw on TWC that Queenstown had some flooding in low areas. Hope you are not in the low area!

tig, beautiful yard! I love looking at the front of my house and my flowers!

baz, did you get a lot of rain yesterday?  I think everyone is ready for Debby to get out of town!

Aunt June's granddaughter posted this picture of Kenny & June on FB:

((clynn)) - So very sorry for the loss of your Aunt June.  May she rest in peace.  My street is higher up, but as you drive down my street towards the creek, it is lower there.  So, Main St was flooded from the Queenstown Creek.  I hope the people who live on Main did not get any water in their homes again. 

karen - I would imagine the restaurants and business do have some type of flood insurance, as they are in the flood zone area on the zoning map.  Both the restaurants and business have been thru this with hurricane Isabel and Sandy.  My home is just outside the flood area, so I don't need flood insurance. 

Lani - I can believe it on Milo's surgery! All the outside critters are accounted for per cam footage.  ;D

tsk - Yes, lots of water, and people don't listen to not drive thru it.  I had seen so many Facebook posts from our Queen Anne's County First Alert page, with calls for police to help with stranded drivers.

kb - Pretty yard!

Phyl, tig, Puff and all - Morning  :)

some bounce

Camper had fun at https://www.irishfair.com/ last night. I dropped him off/picked up. We have other plans tonight... all a nice distraction and pick me up for both of us, before he begins his new meds, prolly tomorrow. I have had a series of bizarre one day episodes... swollen lip (chips), swollen tongue (avocado salsa or tiny amount hot honey??), swollen tip of 1 finger (???)! WTHeck?!? Hanging in there.
Rosie may come for a few days B4 we go on vacay. Talons crossed. I get knee injections next week and the pool closes for cleaning so I'll need to use recumbent bike and leg press, etc.

BTW... in the pic of partial part of garden, you may see some dead shrubs that will be removed in the Fall and we are working to kill the bent grass on that side of the lawn (hence the brown look).

KB... pretty lime lights! I have a few Bobos (3 feet tall) and the large one is a Vanilla Strawberry (8 foot tall)

HAGD all

tig - I was going to ask you what kind of shrubs that are  looking dead?

We are being massively hit by lilac blight....too much rain?...I thought my whole row might escape as it's all over the neighborhood. But, no I just found some early branches with the on it.

So, was wondering if those are your shrubs? also affecting crab apple trees.

PHYL   Western theme for you this AM  ;D   Lunch with the girls always fun.  Two of us had the soup and salad lunch.  Others had more formal dishes

TIG    Irish Fair - Enter the best legs in a kilt contest!!  I bet that is what Camper was going to do  LOLOL   Those periodic swellings - odd .  And you've had all those foods before, right?   You leave around the 26th?

World Lion Day was founded to raise awareness about the predicament of lions and support their protection, and it has since become an important forum for campaigning and education on the conservation of these wonderful beasts.

Yet, have you ever stopped to wonder how every throaty roar that escapes the king of the jungle is also a plea? A plea for help, a plea for survival. This fact gains new importance on August 10 – World Lion Day, a date that draws attention to the ever-shrinking world of these royal beasts.

It was founded in 2013 by Derek and Beverly Joubert with the intention of raising awareness about the challenges lions face in the wild. Prior to this, the Jouberts also partnered with National Geographic to create the Big Cat Initiative.

Some interesting facts:
They spend up to 21 hours each day resting and sleeping. They have few sweat glands, so they wisely tend to conserve their energy by resting during the day and become more active at night when it is cooler. Lions have terrific night vision. They are 6 times more sensitive to light than humans.

Lions in the Bible are often associated with strength, courage, and royalty. They symbolize God's protection and, in some cases, represent the Lion of Judah, a title for Jesus Christ, signifying His royal authority and triumph over sin.

Lions are only truly afraid of African elephants, rhino, and hippo when either of these species are on the offensive. They are cautious of large herds of buffalo, and large clans of spotted hyena, as well as Nile crocodile in deep water.

Tig - That Irish fair looks like fun, and like something I would like to go to.  My grandmother use to get swollen lips on and off when eating seafood.  They said, it was the iodine in the seafood.  I wonder if there is something in whatever you are eating that is making you do the same. 

Lani - Pretty Mama and baby. 

Karen - I thought we would get a cool down after Debby, nope, still hot here too.  Aww, Piper brining in the pine needles. 😂

Tsk - We had no idea that the house was so close to the flood zone area when we bought it.  I am just glad that we are a lil higher up on the street. 

Good night, everyone 😴

We ere up very late last night, watch some late night FNC and  as Jim had Friday off and we got some errands---mostly for me---watch batteries and Rx for glasses filled.
I hope the new Rx fits my old frames  which were adjusted to sit lower on my face in hopes the new transitional lenses will work . I just couldn't stomach this plastic 'molded' black frames any longer. The eye doc picked them out for me  I expressed my dislike and was told frames had to accommodate the Rx.  Anyway---they are too long in ear piece and too wide for face. They made adk=jjustments but didn't last---had already paid for with new lenses.  So went to Lenscrafters w/ a paper script instead.  LC had made my old pair of black  wire frame w/ nose pads and shorter ear piece, etc. Not going back to Dr.Borman ---will see doc next to LC like I did two years ago. Still long story---but why get further in to it all.


Lani dearly love the lioness and her cub for World Lion Day.  :-*  ;)

Tig/ KB and all I'll leave all the gardening to you ladies. A food allergy perhaps.
Congrats to Camper. BTW, Tig never noticed the dead shrubs---too busy enjoying the beauty of the living. Hope you get a visit from 'Rosie'

Tsk soup/salad  yum--- were they 'big' salads as in a meal?  and soup de jour?

Lisa will Debby ever leave?

Thanks for the Caturdays everyone.   tks for info on the Irish Fair. ;)

PHYL   365  :)    Newman would win every time.  Wish I had gotten my new glasses at Lens Crafters 2 years ago.  These I got in the new doc office and I don't care for them. They have never fit right and believe me I have been in a lot of times. At Olive Garden the salad comes in huge bowls and is served family style as are their famous buttered thick bread sticks.  The soup is served in an individual bowl - you have a choice of 4 kinds - and you may get as much as you want.  Usually 1 bowl is enough for me with the salad and breadsticks.

LISA   You made a good choice - always get the highest house on the block.  ;) ;)

So we have the Air and Water Show in town this weekend - Huge deal on the Lakefront.  FB already filled with pics of the Blue Angels
So that may have accounted for the unusual O'Hare traffic taking a slightly different landing pattern over my back yard today.

Sorry clynn to hear about the loss of your aunt June.  Makes their reunion and those two pictures even more precious - the three sisters and her and her husband Kenny.  Hugs then and in the future will come with even more sweet thoughts and blessings.

The longest non stop flight I've ever done _ JFK NYC to Auckland NZ.

The 4th longest non stop flight available I'm told ?  Puff ?

Got good and drunk the night before with Pip .. "so I should sleep like a baby" .. we shall sea.  ;)   :-*

My boots on the Auckland ground come Monday morning @ around 8 am Monday 08/12/24.
 
My sleeping on a plane is legendary ... zzz ... 
Hey kid get the f off our plane in McMurdo Station Antarctica.   ;)
A to B committed.
Kick the tires an light the fires.
My broken lug shoes. You take off and land safely it's all a good day.  8)

Catch the flight to Christchurch on Wednesday. 
Yada Yada some Outdoor Equipment Business.

Then the old mates from Antarctica and the National Science Foundation come in with rucksacks tuned to my travel light Philosophy and the trekking really begins.   8) 
I've never been disappointed at this time of year here.  :D

Lisa, glad all is well after the storm, including the outside critters.  ;D ... I'm glad you don't need flood insurance. Our insurance company has raised our fees this year because of living in a fire zone.

Sunday’s Gentle Hush
The world awakens slowly, free from morning’s din
The sun rises high, a gentle kin
The birds sing sweet melodies, a lullaby to sleep
As Sunday’s calm descends, and all the world does keep

The pace of life, a steady beat
A day to recharge, to slow down heat
To breathe in deeply, and let worries cease
To let the beauty of the day, bring us to our knees

Phyl, great 365, such a peaceful place for those merganser ducks! The Mayfly looks like a giant mosquito! Love the garden picture, I would love to have flowers everywhere! And an old mill nearby would be nice! 58 here, 79 for the high today! Nice! Thanks for the article on Bob, love the name of the film director: Roger Spottiswoode. So British sounding! It's a shame about James Bowen after Bob died, I hope he has been able to get his life back together... Mortgages, from my 36 years working with them: The seller has to disclose if there has been flooding in the home, but that's just a statement on the disclosure. In other words, they can lie. The lender knows exactly where the designated flood zones are and will require proper insurance in place before loaning money.

BL, sorry your sunrise sucks... WOW, that is a long flight, hope the heats are comfy!

Lani, glad to hear you are drying again! I hate insurance companies. Ours cancelled us after the hail damage 2 years ago. Our only claim in nearly 20 years. We have a lot of insurance company headquarters here, they have very elegant buildings! FEMA designates flood zones and lenders pay close attention to those reports, to make sure borrowers have proper insurance. Stata Fire Marshalls designate the fire zones. Then there are the hurricane and tornado zones. I don't know where one could live and escape the high premiums... I will be heading for Albion Tuesday morning, Cathy will arrive Thursday. Visitation Thursday, funeral Friday. I will head home Sunday.

tsk, is that a fancy mosquito? (I see Phyl has the answer!) Becky and Jennifer have been at Mom's for over a week, they drove down when June's daughter Susan (our cousin) told Becky that June was in the hospital. Becky and Susan have been close for years, they are avid book readers. Susan lives in Tennessee. I think I remember going to an Air Show in Chicago in the past! Lots of air shows in my lifetime, being an Air Force brat, they were over our heads every day! Lunch at Olive Garden is one of the best!  I miss going out for lunch at work, that was one of our 'go to' places!

Lisa, glad to hear that the B&B critters are all okay! Bandit back to normal?

The importance of a single tree, in Africa 🌳

Phyl - Sorry about your glasses.  Debby was in and out of here on the day she came.  Bandit is doing better, still on eating some small meals thru the day of wet canned food.  Pretty morning flowers, so colorful.

tsk - I thought your new glasses looked nice on you.  So many different planes flying over!

karen - I complained about the heat, and today is much better feeling.  Humidity at 58% but high will still be in the 80s.

BrokenLug - Glad you made it safely, and enjoy your trip!  Thanks for the tunes  :D

Lani - Oh no, on the homeowner rates going up.  Mine keeps increasing each year too, and this year it went up $200. 

clynn - Bandit is doing better, like I mentioned to Phyl, just eating smaller meals thru the day of wet food.  He is even staying away from his rotisserie chicken, maybe he knows his tummy isn't 100%. You be safe on your drive back to Albion!  Love that pic of Turnip Rock.

Another heat advisory and will probably continue for a long time!   Allergies also kicking up!   Oh, happy day!

The plane that carries horses for equestrian events at the Olympics is called the Air Horse One. That’s right. AIR HORSE ONE.

Morning all:

Lani - My homeowners and car insurance went up 432 a year, this year. Everyone's has or will shortly here. Before 2020 a carjacking was Almost unheard of. Now it happens several times a day, every day. Could have something to do with it here?....LOL

Safe travels: Pip and BL...can't wait to hear back on your trekking..

Mowed the back etc this am on this lovely day....Note to self: Yes yews, hydrangeas, trees needed some pruning, but my finger did NOT!...liquid bandage on it after cleaned...not to the bone, but a good prune of index.

Phyl, a lovely peaceful nature video today.

Tsk, they recommend once a year. We'll have Sunshine Cleaning take care of it this time... and buy a cleaning set and do it myself next year.  ;D

Clynn, Love your colorful morning pics!  ;D ... homeowners here are complaining about the cost of their homeowner's insurance as their premiums have skyrocketed due to the fires in CA, Canada, NM and AZ... most have increased $5000+ , ours increased $2000, Mike's working to get that down...

Royal Albatross
Top Flat chick is 199 days old and was banded with a Stainless-Steel band which has a GLS tag cable tied to it.

Top Flat Track chick is 191 days old and was also banded with a Stainless-Steel band and a GLS tag.

All this seasons’ chicks are now fully banded, 10 males and 10 of the females have GLS tags (see below for more information).

We are unable to keep both chicks on cam at the same time now as they are further apart. We pan over to Top Flat Track chick when we can.

I mage DOC. Darvic bands, males receive black bands and females are banded with the yellow bands for quick identification of the sex of each toroa. Most chicks have already received their alphanumeric darvic bands to avoid misidentification during the weighing rounds as they became more mobile during July. This season’s cohort have received E bands.

The plastic bands have been upgraded to high quality darvic bands that do not need glued down onto themselves.

Image DOC. Geo Location Sensor (GLS) tag to be cable tied onto a stainless-steel band.

As during Manaaki’s season* chicks are receiving GLS tags so that we can collect the location data for up to 3 years of toroa flights in research that has never been carried out in this species before.

I will be reading on to find out what your post further about that. Meanwhile, peace to you and your family, with prayers for comfort during this time.

(((Clynn))) I'm thinking of you and your family. I imagine you are busily preparing for your long drive on Tuesday and the family gathering for your Aunt June's funeral. Will you be traveling alone? I love that wonderful picture of your Aunt June and her husband! I know it will be a special time of everyone sharing wonderful memories together.

BL, sorry for your sunrise issue. Wishing you smooth lo-o-o-o-o-ng travels, and safe trails! That Gordon Lightfoot song is one of my all-time favs.

Lisa, glad your property is above the high water mark! Good to hear Bandit is feeling some better. I hope he is 100% soon!

Lani, ugh on the big expenses! They seem to come in bunches! When is Milo's oral surgery?

TSK, I love Olive Garden's salad and breadsticks! Sometimes I will get their soup, and when I do, I usually get the pasta e fagioli. Ugh on the altered airport approach over your home! I hope peace and quiet are restored to your neighborhood soon!

Karen, I saw about your heat advisories. Ugh. We are in the triple-digits heat index these days, too... humidity and dewpoints are sky high. I almost choked when I walked out the door this morning. I know it has been even worse at your place. Ugh... you and Piper stay in the cool!

KB, Air Horse One!  ;D  Poor person with muck duty after landing in Paris!  8)  I loved watching some of the equestrian competition at the Olympics! It's all incredible, but dressage always blows me away.

Tsk, yes, thankfully, everyone was safe and sound at my niece's home in Virginia after the tornado went nearby. They celebrated Baby Bro's 3rd birthday this weekend!  :D :-*

I too love at soup as well as minestrone, a close relative.  A friend of mine married a great guy of italian descent.  His parents owned an operated a restaurant in Delaware that was said to be very well attended with great food.  Anyway Mary had some of her mils  recipes one of which wS meat balls and sauce!   While atMarys one time she made the sauce and ravioli!  After we all ate we sat around talking and suddenly Mary was getting cans of vegetables out of the cupboard , opening them and dumping them into the sauce!  I said, what are you doing?   Making soup!  Exactly how they did it in the restaurant!   
Who knew!  We had some tge next day and it was delicious! 😋

Hope everyone had a pleasant evening and a good night's rest.

Tsk  nice warm sunrise greeting yesterday

CLynn cool Hippy Bus today; that looks like it might be a Acacia erioloba (Fabaceae)tree
 :o Turnip Rock, Michigan,

Lisa so glad to know Bandit is doing better.  ;)   Blah! Humidity.

Puff  Yes. It does look like the production crew at Hellgate is gone.       And,  would be no doubt on the apple munchies for passengers of 'Air Horse One'.
 
KB   I do know how you're feeling with deep laceration that goes to the bone.  Years ago Samantha had an elliptic seizure and my hand
got in the way.  :'( Split my middle finger  the entire length( long story)---those tiny incisors are razor sharp.  Enjoyed reading about the Olympic horses flying to the games ' Air horse One'. Awwww that's a wonderful Tweet about the abused horse--love can heal all  wounds.

Lani it's outrageous how P & C coverages doubles  regularly upon renewal. Many thanks for the Darvic band info.  and (GLS) tag  snaps
Albie Report--everyone looks good. ;)

Tsk/ Karen  after reading the posts on  pasta e  fagioli I got curious as I don't recall eating pasta fagiole. So I looked it up. There are lots of versions out there. But, there' s this:

Moonlight Monday

The stars shine bright, a canopy above
As Monday dawns, and another week’s love
Begins anew, with possibilities abound
A fresh start waits, like a gift unbound

The city’s awake, with sirens’ hum
The world’s in motion, as the day’s begun
The smell of coffee wafts, a morning treat
As we embark on journeys, to meet what’s new and great

I have a long list of things to do today so I can head for Mom's in the morning! First on the list, good morning to the Beakers! I cherish all of you and thank you for the friendship through the years!

tsk, cute pink happy bird! I haven't made soup for quite a while, but I used frozen veggies if I didn't have fresh available. And I rarely had fresh!

Phyl, love those pencil legged kids with the rosy cheeks!  62 here, 73 for the high today. Another beautiful day!

Lani, love, love the pic of Iris sleeping and watching over Antali. Wonder where Sum-eh is sleeping...

baz, love the pics of Lil' Bro, can't believe he is 3! such a beautiful boy, and I see Big Sister in the last one! Both look so good and happy! Glad everyone is safe and sound and happy!

kb, great pic of Air Horse One! I think I would be scared to let my beloved horse get in a plane and fly...

Lisa, is Pepe really still seen on the trail cam? 'Stinking up the yard', I had to laugh at that one! Wonder if he is friends with the AirB&B cats!

Cathedral Valley in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah.
Previously, the area was covered by the sea, then as a result of tectonic movements, the deposited sediment rose up.  Over millions of years, erosion has worn away the area.  Only the hard, cemented sandstone "pillars" remain.

Kelsey and the kitties before your departure! 

Phyl, there is a difference in creation and maintenance.  The latter is not going well!   I will say no more except it is sad to read about dead birds and animals found with balloons and plastic in them!   Enough said!

Bl, hope you are having a great time on the other side of the world!

Good morning Beakers!
Hi Eagles4, Lisa, Ezee, Eburg, Weasel, Jilltosa, Kb, Tsk, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, BL, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Phyl, adorable summer kids! Goodness, Beautiful closeup of the dragonfly.

Puff, Tsk, Phyl I thought I posted this last week, sorry if I didn't update... The Yellowstone crew was there for only two days, and were gone by 2:30am the morning of the 8th. There was no harm or stress to the Hellgate ospreys as they continued feeding and sleeping on the nest. And spent time watching the action too.... Dr. Eric Greene was on the premises the whole time and was quite satisfied with the situation.

{{Puff}}}

Karen, it's pass the usual time that regular Brown Bears, Holly, Divot and Otis make their way to Fall Brooks. Summer is nearing an end. Hopefully they are enjoying other fishing spots.

Clynn, pretty morning captions... Sum-eh spends all her time on Iris's dead tree. Sum-eh has a good view of the nest and can see when Finn or Iris bring fish to Antali. So far she has won the fish away from Antali. Dr. Greene has posted Sum-eh is a female and reacts more like Iris, and Antali (male) is like his dad, who is quiet and easy going... Finn sits on a tree not too far from Sum-eh... and now Iris is spending more time across the river from the nest during the day. But, she will be there in a flash when Antali squees or if an intruder flies near the nest. Iris is always with Antali as the sun is setting and will spend the night on the perch. Both parents are stretching out the time for bringing fish to the nest, this will force Antali to continue to try his wings, Also, this forces Sum-eh to learn to fish for food too. Iris usually goes on her migration 2nd week of September, so her chicks need to learn how to survive for their migration too. It will be interesting to see how Finn reacts these last days before migration. Stanley and Louis stayed after Iris and made sure the chicks had left. I remember the last time we saw Stanley the youngest chick was following dad over the stadium lights and into the sunset. It was such a beautiful special moment, Eagle-duck had posted those special memories. It makes me teary thinking of both Stanley and Eagle-Duck. Lovely times  :-*

Tsk cute pink birdy this AM; it won't be long and we'll all be celebrating the arrival of Autumn. It's been so hot and esp humid in
the evenings that I haven't been walking. With Autumn the evenings will be cooler. ;)

CLynn pretty flora and fauna today; awesome Cathedral Valley in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. Easy to imagine those torrential
rivers carving out those amazing rock sculptures eons ago.

Lani Yes you did post all that about the film crew in Hellgate and the nest was undisturbed. I read that and digested it too. Seems lately I either can't express my self accurately or something. Anyway Tks for Hellgate nest photo update.




Before I leave...I thought y'all might enjoy the following.

Don’t worry about a trek to Iceland. You can see the northern lights in the upper Midwest, too.

Observe the variety of fishing techniques among the bears, on the creek bank or wading out into the water where the salmon are in the highest concentrations. You can even see them in the cave waiting for fish to swim by. Watch as they jockey for position at their favorite spots. Bears begin arriving at Anan in June, but peak activity starts in July, lasting through August. Bears have also been seen earlier in the spring and as late as October. Bald eagles, ravens, otters, and crows can also be seen sharing the feast. There have been a few wolf sightings over the years as well.

"horses are smart enough to plan and strategize new study says"

LOL, don't bother reading this....floors me they think they need a study for this.

W. C. Fields said: "Horse sense is the thing a horse has to keep it from betting on people"

Secretariat ran his own races: Trainer told Jockey Ron to let Secretariat decide what to do. Ron did and the rest is history.

On a horse thingy lately I am. I love them. Scott unfortunately as a young boy had to care for many of them in their stables..hauling hay and water, though a great rider, ended up not liking them. For him, too much work at a young age.

(https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Mountain_Goat_USFWS.jpg)

However, not a horse. A mountain goat....a huge one!

Walked Ollie with Chris..watered grass and gardens...then spent way too long indulging in Chris' current investigation: Scott left 5 watches....he's researching them all!...2 still work...but Chris will take them all with my help to be fixed/cleaned/ and links shortened..kinda fun...but, Chris is the epitome of a researcher.

I too love at soup as well as minestrone, a close relative.  A friend of mine married a great guy of italian descent.  His parents owned an operated a restaurant in Delaware that was said to be very well attended with great food.  Anyway Mary had some of her mils  recipes one of which wS meat balls and sauce!   While atMarys one time she made the sauce and ravioli!  After we all ate we sat around talking and suddenly Mary was getting cans of vegetables out of the cupboard , opening them and dumping them into the sauce!  I said, what are you doing?   Making soup!  Exactly how they did it in the restaurant!   
Who knew!  We had some tge next day and it was delicious! 😋

Karen, It looked like strawberry cake under Baby Bro's cake frosting. But I also got a 25-second video of his 3rd birthday cake and ice cream, which I would post if I could. It was hilarious - of Baby Bro sitting by his cake and reaching over to the carton of chocolate ice cream, which he used a large spoon to reach into and get a mouthful of. LOLOL! Oh, lucky you to get a yummy home-cooked Italian meal from the restaurant owner's family recipes, and the "inside scoop" on how they made their soup! LOL.

Lani, I'm sad that Otis and Holly haven't made it back to Brooks Falls this summer. I pray they have found comfort.  :-* :-* I bet Finn will stay for a while after Iris leaves and looks after the little ones a bit longer. Talons crossed that the kids become skilled fishers and that Iris and Finn have a safe migration and meet each other at the nest next season.  :-* :-*

Clynn, safe travels tomorrow. I know you are busy preparing. Hugs.

It was salon day, and I was in much need of a color and trim.   :D

kb - That is a big mountain goat.  Glad you and Chris got out for a walk with Ollie.

Phyl - Thanks, Bandit seems to be getting better.  Pretty pic of the lights.  Thanks for the 365. 

karen - What kind of action are you and Piper getting into?

clynn - If only the trail cam had "smell-o-vision", but this nose on my face can sure tell Pepe' has been stinkin' up the yard. Peeeuuuuu!  Pretty morning pics. 

baz - Happy "3rd" Birthday to Baby Bro!!

tsk - Yes, so far so good for Bandit.  :)

CLYNN  Cathedral Valley - Amazing

PHYL   365 - great photography.  Would never have known what that was if video had not been identified - alien  LOL

LANI  Thanks for the Hellgate update.   Loved the X vids - " sleepy time"  ;D  Anan Wildlife Observatory - New one.  wonder who got paid to allow the lot to be used - school?

KB  W.C. Fields  LOL   Happy to see Chris is out for a walk with you.  I think both of you are researchers!!

KAREN   So the yard got cleaned up today.  Do they bag it or toss in a truck?

BAZI   You gave me a good chuckle this afternoon with Bro and his chocolate ice cream  ;D ;D

Auckland NZ - 12:28 PM Tuesday 08/13/24 and heading out for some lunch soon.
Weather is Sunny and 62° F with light south wind 6-10 mph. BL kind of hiking weather.   :)

Everything is going swimmingly and I'm having a great time.
Pips holding down the fort with Kopje and the critters.   :-*

Well that certainly was a long flight (17.5 hrs).
I'm still trying to adjust to the local Time/Date a little bit.

Gate departed from JFK at 10:14 PM EDT Saturday 08/10/24 ...
Arrived gate in Auckland at 07:46 AM NZST Monday 08/12/24.

Max altitude was 41,500 Ft just before arriving over NZ.
Max speed was 615 MPH somewhere over west Texas.

Heading on a "puddle jumper" to the south island - Christchurch NZ tomorrow in the afternoon 08/14.
From there the real trekking fun begins.  ;D

Hope all is well with all you Beakers.  8)
Will try to check back in from somewhere spectacular .. communication devices a willing.   ;)

{{{CLynn}}} St. Christopher be with you and family tomorrow. Will be thinking of everyone there.

BL will read your post more in depth tomorrow. But, glad you're arrived safely. And, having a good time; long flight indeed. Jim said air speed is always measured in  'knots' as in boating. So my guess when you were over Texas you were flying, about 534.2 knots per hour. Pretty fast.
1 knot = roughly 1.15 statute mph


Sleep tight,  Everyone!   Don't let the bed bug bite!   LOL  ;D

I know there are some Beakers that have Gephyrophobia. 

I now have a hint from my Christchurch comrades on Thursdays potential tramping route via just one picture attached below.

Come on now. I do need to know what to bring generally ..

Ice ax, crampons, 500 ft rope, Oxygen, hand grenades, a rocket launcher with a spot of tea .. or what ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvgN5gCuLac

The  Monty Python  have been very tight lipped on the general itinerary. 

I was told just today .. there is a pack sitting right here and it's been expertly packed and tailored for you by someone that knows you very well specifically for this outing .. weather conditions permitting. 

You all know I like to expertly pack my own parachute however.  Check.  There is only one other

I believe this foot swing bridge is about 120 miles NE of Queenstown NZ.

Lisa, beautiful flowers this morning to start your salon day! Enjoy!  ;D

Tuesday’s calm lies wrapped in mist,
The world awakens from its dreamy twist,
Morning sunbeams warm my skin,
The misty veil begins to spin.

Serenity wraps me in its fold,
As the morning breeze whispers secrets untold,
The trees sway gently in the breeze,
Nature’s peaceful dance brings me to my knees.

Tuesday’s tranquility, so serene,
In stillness, I find what’s truly mine.

Antali holds the fish and we can see how much he ate himself. A great job deserves a celebratory slice. And then he swallowed the end of the fish! 👏🎉

Royal Albatross - Weigh day update (from 10.10am)

Top Flat chick is 203 days old and weighs 8.8 kg. It has been a busy week for Top Flat chick with a supplementary feed on the 8th of August, banding and a Geolocation Sensor attached on the 9th of August, another weight check on the 10th of August and several feeds from LGK and LGL. During this time his weight had increased from 8.3 kg to 8.9 kg the 10th of August.

Top Flat Track chick is 195 days old and weighs 9 kg. Last week Top Flat Track chick was 8.8 kg, but this was the first lower weight for him and not yet a concern. Both WYL and BOK are still feeding their chick.

Here's more nest history
8/13 Hellgate Osprey cam As we anticipate Antali's fledge, here are some stats from Iris's previous chicks:
The age of her chicks at fledge is between 53-62 days.
All her chicks fledged between 06:07-10:05 am.
Sum-eh tied L'el'e on earliest calender date of a fledge, August 5.

While mom closely watches, Antali keeps testing her wings!

Lani, thanks for the pics and news from Hellgate. Yay - and bottoms up for Antali!! Iris is a great mom, and I'm sure Finn is looking out nearby for Sum-eh. Both are great parents, and have done a bang-up job raising their kids this year!!  :-* :-* Thanks for the pics and news of the Royal Albie chicks... I'm thinking we won't be seeing them on camera much longer. Look at all that fish/squid/food they use for the supplemental feedings!  :-* :-*

(((Safe travels for Clynn!))

BL, wow - you have another wonderful trek in incredible surroundings on your horizon!

Karen, that was a busy day! Glad your yard crew got things picked up.

Lisa, ahhh. cut and color at the salon - almost as good as getting a massage!

TSK, oh pooh! Hate you had to re-do a post. A bother!!

Tig, you mentioned an upcoming vacay, but I must've missed where you and camper are headed for that. Is it soon?

Have a good day, Beakers!  :)

All's good around here. It's a quiet week. The humidity and temps are lower today - yay - maybe I will get my behind out for a walk, depending on if it might rain - the clouds are flirting with that idea, and aren't committing either way on dropping raindrops. So we'll see. But I haven't walked in a long time now, mostly due to the extreme heat/humidity combo making it too uncomfortable for me.

Take care, All.  :)

Thanks for the news from Helgate Lani!   Good on the fledges  and interesting pictures of this e self feedings!  Iris did a great  job, as did  Finn!   He was so much nicer than  Louis!

Baz hope you got your walk in!

Tsk, Pilots can fly for 8 hours and then off for 16 so I guess they had at least 2 to 3 crews on the flight!

Bl, hope your trekking around is fun with some amazing scenery!   You can test new equipment for them!   Thank for the funny  video on stuff!  Shared  that one with folks!

Clynn is probably at her mother’s now, sipping tea?

Big Hawk in my fence this afternoon!   In contrast there was a tiny hummer or 2 at The feeder  sipping nectar!
Time to get something out of the freezer!

Tig, your trip sounds like fun and a great opportunity for Camper to take some wonderful pictures!   Hope your knee injections work!

 Karen - You’re welcome. 

Tig - Sounds like it is going to be a nice vacay.  Hope all went well with your cortisone knee injections today. 

Baz - lol, yes almost as good as a massage! 

Phyl - Thanks for photo gallery of the “Cosmopolitan” birds.

Tsk - We have been cooler in the AM, but by noon it’s hot.

TIG   Exciting trip!!!  Your knees will be raring to go!!

KAREN   (Thanks Lisa)   When my folks built a retirement home in Dodgeville Wi - which I've mentioned before, I think on 2 occasions we had a bat come in.   All we did was open windows and it found its way out.  Dad had wood piles which we kids and grandkids stacked in the fall on a 3 day weekend when kids were out of  school.  Cut the tree down ran the logs through the splitter and stacked them - which was my job cuz I could guarantee they would not fall  LOLOL  Anyway on one occasion, I was retrieving some dried wood to bring into the house and I uncovered a sleeping bat.  They are so cool.    Thanks for the pilot info.   Didn't know how they worked that.
Speaking about the hawk  I forgot to post several days ago I heard a screeching outside - up and down the houses in the
neighborhood.  I raced to get my Merlin ID going - and you know the sound always stops when I do this - but this time I got to record it and now I know what  red tailed hawk sounds like and confirms our guess when that fella sits on our back fence periodically

Tig ahhh Yellowstone Nat'l Parl, been a while since I've been there. Good idea w/ the cortisone injects. Good luck w/ injects and your vacation---sounds like some fun.  Your knees/legs will be ready to go.  ;)

Karen love the cute/sweet little bat narrative from Janet. Tks for sharing (Lisa).

The injections went very well. And no pain, so far. No headache. Just a slight elevated heart rate. I slept from 8 to 10. Camper took me to a favorite Mexican restaurant where I managed to eat some bland foods.

Some frozen yogurt with dark cherries hit the spot when I awoke.

LANI   I saw 1 monarch yesterday as well on my flowers.  It was a terrible year for raising monarchs as my butterfly friend in town also agreed  We both raised 6!!  No females around.

Just saw this on FB   ;D ;D

After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, documnt their repairs on the form, then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are actual maintenance complaints submittd by UPS pilots ("P") and solutions recorded ("S") by maintenance engineers:
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget poundng on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

Hellgate Antali has Fledged!

Second Osprey Chick "Antali" Fledges from Hellgate Nest! | August 14, 2024
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEx1jnor6Z8

After 59 days in the nest post-hatch, the younger Osprey chick named Antali fledged this morning with a confident jump and a slight flutter as they headed upriver. Congratulations to the
@HellgateOsprey

(((Clynn and Family)))

Yay for Antali's fledge! I hope s/he listens to Iris and safely returns to the nest soon before getting too adventurous. One exploring, short flight at a time at first, I hope, to gain flying and landing skills.  ;)  :-*
Thanks, Lani.  :-* Sweet pics of those little sloths at TRR. I hope they all improve in health and strength soon.  :-*

Lisa, thanks for posting the bat pic/post for Karen.  :)

Karen, thanks for sharing that FB pic of the sweet little bat,  :-*  and the associated excellent article busting the myth of the prevalence of rabies in bats - it says the research study shows that rabies is only found in one-half of 1% of bats, and bats are not asymptomatic carriers. Good read and info! Also great tips on what to do if a bat flies into your home! I didn't know they wouldn't be able to fly away if they landed on the floor! Learned some new info about bats! I've always wanted to hold one and feel their soft fur.  :)

Tig, glad the knee injections went well. Yum on the frozen yogurt. What a great vacay you and camper have coming up! Will that be a car trip, or a flight with local car rental?

Phyl, I forgot to mention yesterday when you posted the "Cosmopolitan birds" article, with that pic of the pretty Barn Swallow. We have a large population of Barn Swallows around where I live. It's fun watching them fly and swoop over the pond next to my house, especially before sunset, as they catch loads of insects while in flight. And it's so amazing they don't crash into each other when doing that, of course! - which is fun to watch, because they have some crazy, veering near misses!!  ;D  This past Thursday (or Friday?), when I was getting blinding rain from Tropical Storm Debby, I walked out front under my front porch cover, a little before dark, to watch the blowing hard rain, and a pretty Barn Swallow swooped right in under my covered front porch with me!! A bird trying to fly in that! Oh my, poor thing, it must've gotten caught by the sudden start of that wild rain while trying to get a bite to eat before heading home to roost for the night.  :-* It startled me at first, and I thought he would fly back out, but he didn't. Instead, he flew back and forth, a few laps the length of the front porch, under cover, while I stood stock still, not wanting to startle or frighten him. At one point, I thought he was going to land on me! But he finally landed on the brick front porch wall under cover, grasping to the brick edge as they do, near the top of the front door, and stayed there. So I slowly and quietly slipped back inside my front door, and hoped he would be able to stay under cover and rest and be safe from the storm. I couldn't see him from inside, but he was gone in the morning, of course. So pretty.  :-* I hope he stayed safe and got a little respite from the big, gusty winds and hard sideways rain, with very limited visibility.  :-* :-*

TSK, it was a rough year for the Monarchs, but you helped them!  :) Thank you!  :-* I hope their numbers rebound this next year!

Hi everyone,
Well, well, well!  It is with mixed emotions that we saw Antali fledge successfully this morning!  We suspected he would probably fledge today - he was getting "big air" yesterday, and had been practising flying hard for the last week.  He flew up the river a bit, then perched right below the nest.
It is a bit hard to look at an empty Hellgate Osprey nest, but what an amazing season it has been for Iris and her family!
Best, Erick Greene and the Montana Osprey Team

BAZI  Actually the bat we had in the Dodgeville home was on the carpeted 3 season room crawling around.( We were fascinated)  We opened the door and it found its way out flying.. Hmmm  CROW rehab on Sanibel Is.  Had a couple tropical birds thrown off course that they were caring for - kind of beat up.  Can't remember the species now  Dang.  :P   Glad your porch was a safe haven for that barn swallow. Cute story. :)

That was one heck of a Aurora Australis from a Mountain hut.

Here's a good read; very thought provoking.  It covered all the learning/teaching stages of my life and ends up with enhancing my current related job adventures.  Comes from a weekly industry publication.  It is long but starts the wheels in head rolling.  I'm sure there will be a lot of thoughts and ideas among my friends/travel advisers  and but also my RRP friends.  Kinda long but take it to the finish.  Very interesting I think.  And, I won't be silly any more and mention about getting around with my friend "Stick".

Just saw this on FB   ;D ;D

After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, documnt their repairs on the form, then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are actual maintenance complaints submittd by UPS pilots ("P") and solutions recorded ("S") by maintenance engineers:
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget poundng on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

Currently: 74F partly  sunny , High  97F sunny,  with  Low 74F
Hope everyone had a pleasant evening and a good night's rest.

Lani tks for all the updates on the critter

Bazi  i loved you story aout your swallows.  About 5 yrs back we had some here. It was nesting season this pair had no place
to build a nest. So Mama Swallow took (rente) the Bluebirds nesting boxe #1 and built her nest and incunmabted and hatched her
chicks. There were just two hatched and fledged. But that species is pure ballet in the sky with how they swoop and dive chatching
various insects mid flight.  I'm so glad you had a flock to enjoy.

CLynn thinking of you and your family today--hoping the day is filled with love and the fondest of memories

Tsk  enjoyed your AM greetings today

  Prayers for:  The family of Corey Comperatore..Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people.   'Little Gray' and 'Little One' ...All abandoned, abused , lost cats ... stray, unloved, homeless stray and feral cats;
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . As always, Beakers/families.

Thursday’s Threads

In tapestry of time and space,
The cosmic threads unite and weave,
A vast design, an endless grace,
Of stellar systems that believe.

As masters to their craft are bound,
These woven threads of destiny,
A kaleidoscope of colors spun,
Entwine the known and mystery.

 Can You Pick the Closest Relatives on the Tree of Avian Evolution?

Not everything is quite as it seems when it comes to evolution. Try this quiz and see if you can pick out who is related to whom in the bird world.

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/quiz-phylogeny-evolution-choose-closest-relative/?utm_campaign=Lab%20eNews%202024&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--X4X_BvB-X98uSKFAte7Idn2_YLbMUTjoGbOD73z5MIxhAB7ctF0c6-IXEh0Jfyw_Ll1P5w6xYRTQ8UeRajcpMNoYTVn6u153q8JvTRvlkUb4q2wc&_hsmi=319551650&utm_content=319551650&utm_source=hs_email (https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/quiz-phylogeny-evolution-choose-closest-relative/?utm_campaign=Lab%20eNews%202024&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--X4X_BvB-X98uSKFAte7Idn2_YLbMUTjoGbOD73z5MIxhAB7ctF0c6-IXEh0Jfyw_Ll1P5w6xYRTQ8UeRajcpMNoYTVn6u153q8JvTRvlkUb4q2wc&_hsmi=319551650&utm_content=319551650&utm_source=hs_email)


From the Summer 2024 issue of Living Bird magazine.
Evolution works in somewhat mysterious ways. Two birds at the same backyard feeder that look alike could be separated by millions of years of evolutionary history. Meanwhile, two birds that are each other’s closest evolutionary cousins could live on opposite sides of the world.

That mixing and matching of birds with different speciation histories is borne of two seemingly opposing forces of evolution. On the one hand, divergent evolution is pushing closely related species away from each other; natural selection (the race to enhance survival, such as being better at exploiting food resources or evading predators) pushes birds to gain an advantage by looking different or moving someplace different.


On the other hand, convergent evolution can push distantly related species to resemble each other. Again natural selection is a driving force. Bird species that eat flying insects tend to have similar aerodynamic body shapes (even if they aren’t close relatives), kind of like how different kinds of aquatic animals, such as fish and whales, similarly evolved elongated bodies and fins for swimming underwater.

This push and pull of divergent and convergent evolution can make for some surprises when birders dig into the phylogeny (that is, the evolutionary relationships) of some of their favorite birds. Try your hand at guessing which species might be most closely related in the following groupings of birds from your backyard and around the world. Physical resemblances or proximity to one another may be a helpful clue … but then again, maybe not.

BAZ   Phyl  My introduction to full time bird nerd. . . Moving into this home in 1971 I got me fully involved with two new past times - gardening and birds. 

Moved in in April so it was too late for food garden, but started landscaping plans.  Lost a few plants in the discovery phase.  My dad, talented and patient loving me, made a fence for the following year (dang critter problem).  One of a kind Asian/oriental red and black picket with gold additions. 

He also put up a purple martin bird house in the corner of the food garden's designated spot.  Spent so many hours on the patio waiting and hoping, and then fascinated and watching.  I still smile to this day when I think of the house keeping routine.  Just like our eagles they do not have poop in the house.  Most it was their little butts sticking out the hole and then parent picking it up and dropping it away from the abode.  Over the years quite a bit of "fertilizer" ended up in the garden.  Quite a bit of fertilizer but not so many mosquitoes.  They are also like our eagles. . .Many days of teaching little ones the art of soaring.  I wonder how good they would handled the cicadae this year?

Alas, because of buildup and trees they left; took down the house on the pole.   :'(  Also, because fence was made of wood, last year I had to say goodbye to the remnants of the fence.  Really miss Dad thinking about it now.   :'(

Don't think I ever mentioned - but I'll repeat anyway.  I have other things Dad made.  When my brothers/Sisters-in-law started having family, he made one a rocking horse and the other a rocking elephant (she loved elephants).  Small Italian lady, my SIL had he ellie in a special nook in the house where she could relax, rest, and put all on notice to leave her alone.   Gave it to son/DIL when her first grandchild was born.  I hope it still is alive.  My sister got a 4 ft (?) clothes hanging giraffe stand.

Not doing kids - he cut things way down to size and made me a mini rocking horse.   :'(   I know you know how much I cherish it.

clynn   Lots of special hugs today.

((BL)), what wonderful experiences you are having near the bottom of the world! Thanks for sharing.  :)

TSK, glad the bat that was on your floor was able to fly out successfully. Maybe the person posting in Karen's FB link about tips for when a bat might fly into your home was only meaning small or baby bats would have a problem flying out if on the floor. I don't know, of course, just guessing.

Karen, hope you won't be exposed. You and Piper take care.

Lisa, yummy croissant - makes me want one.  :)

Phyl, all kinds of swallows are fun to watch. We have several different types around here. Fun you got to watch a pair nesting.  :)

Lani, thanks for the great cam shots and news from Hellgate and Anan Lower Falls and Caves.  :) :-*


Keeping it short today. I've had a nuisance headache every day for a couple of weeks now, and it's starting to get old.  ::) :P

{{{Baz}}} I wonder if dealing with the weather changes , humidity etc., might be causing your headaches. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/migraine-headache/expert-answers/migraine-headache/faq-20058505

Karen, Yes, the GLS will gather the data for the next three years and be read when they return to find a mate. Most of these chicks will travel the seas and head to the southwest coast of Chile and South America, and spend most of the next two years there.... I followed Tiaki two years ago on their Interactive Map they also use a tracker device. She fledged and spent time around New Zealand then other small islands on her way to the southwest coast of Chile.  ;D   https://docnewzealand.shinyapps.io/albatrosstracker/

Finally Friday---by FeelMyFeelings May 2013

It’s Finally Friday,
The last day of the week,
The only one that really counts,
Watching the clock all week,
5 days of sitting and watching,
5 days of waking up at the worst hours of night,
Trying your hardest to finish,
5 long long days,
But it’s finally Friday.

It’s finally Friday,
Now we can just chill,
Just hang, Sleep!
We get to sleep, 2 days of nothing but,
Sleep!

You know you need it,
You got so tired from waiting,
Just time to sleep,
No need to wake up early,
Or stay up late, if you want,
Just sleep.

Monday it was the worst,
Tuesday, not the best,
Wednesday, just another day to remind you,
You still have days left,
Thursday, just a day thrown in for torture,
But Guess What,
It’s Finally Friday!

LANI   Didn't realize salmon was such a vibrant pink. :o  Nice photos from Brooks Falls

PHYL   Since we stopped feeding the birds via the feeders we keep suet cakes out during the summer as well for our resident downy and surprising all the smaller birds enjoy as well.

So an interesting thing has happened since the cicada invasion.  I've been wondering about the bites/welts I've been getting.  Didn't think too much about it until my local FB page posted yesterday the reason why so many people are "hiring exterminators", going to the doctor etc.  Well it was just published that an aftermath of such an extreme invasion of cicadas is also and extreme invasion of microscopic mites that feed on the cicada eggs!!  The bites are extremely itchy and last for about 5-6 days.  You don't feel the bites and doesn't matter if skin is exposed or not.  Just outside walking, the mites can be blown on you in the air  LOLOLOL  I currently have 4 active "bites" and about 4 already gone...Now we all have an answer.   This AM I also see more dead maple branches on the ground from our "regular yearly cicadas".

Tsk  pretty strawberries this AM.
Well!  That explains it---how last Sunday early AM while sitting enjoying the morning ---I got what I thought was a mosquito bite on my lower left leg. It's till there after 5 days.  It was a 'honker' and had a really hard core and cherry red.
The 'Cortaid 10' solved the itch problem. Swelling is making real progress.

Lisa not sure about dinner tonight---last night was Tex Mex. Fish on Friday?

baz - Sorry to hear about your headaches.  I hope they go away soon. ((hugs))

Phyl - Thanks for the link last evening.  Cute figurines this morning.  Thanks for 365.  I am not sure what we are doing for dinner either yet.  I would love to have some Chinese takeout, but I'm sure Jeff wants to grill.

karen - I hope your shot is working too, and she was not exposed before she came to your house last.

Lani - Pretty pics from Brooks Falls.   

tsk - That is interesting about the mites, and I wonder if that is the 4 bites I have on each of my legs.  We did not have a huge cicada invasion like you all did, but I am seeing some cicada shells around the yard and on my concrete patio. I have used some antibacterial cream on them for a few days, and the itch has gone away.

Terrible thing - msg completely disappeared.    :o

I just had to add my name to the list of funny skin problems.  Like I don't have enough.

Thing is my skin is ugly and has been for a long time.  Eczema problem diagnosed in teen years.  Anyway, it is currently red spots, brown spots, white, bumpy/lumpy, and oh so itchy.  Tried my meds, nada.  Like tsk said, too, itchy like heck.  I'm going to look into cicada writeups, and see what dermatologist says. 

How'd you do with the storm last night tsk?  Lots of heavy noise from rain and thunder, and sprinkle in hail.  I never heard hail.  I'll be leaving in a while for our monthly block luncheon; I'll check gauge then.

Did y'all see the posting in NN?  They opened up to let us in on the latest.  Rebuilt almost to finish.  Pics included.

Great news on Antali.  Such a good male - even stayed around after the fact.  How did she luck out in finding such a great guy.   :-*

I checked the gauge before leaving today -  Gauge showed just short of four inches.  I'm sure that's high because it had rained Wednesday night/Thursday early morning and I just never emptied it.  That must really have been a goodly amount though.

Lani, oh, this is great news! I have been quietly waiting, hopefully, for positive updates on Antali. So glad to hear Finn is "on it!" :-* Thanks so much for sharing the good news! Oh, I'm just wondering since it isn't labeled... do you know if that picture from Dr. Greene is supposed to be of Antali? I'm guessing it must be. Finn is very distinctively marked, so I'm sure Dr. Greene would feel good about IDing Finn and Antali after seeing a nearby Osprey with Finn's markings with a fledgling and feeding it.  :)  We had heard before Antali fledged that Finn had been seen staying near Sum-eh.. So now I wonder if Sum-eh is still being seen nearby, too. It seems like Finn would try to lure Antali back closer to the nest, but maybe Antali is getting some excellent Osprey-river-fishing lessons from Finn where they are! It's great to hear all seems to be going well where they are. Yay!!  :) Also, thanks for the article you linked about weather and headaches. I don't know if that might be related to mine - I have a history of headaches. I still have it, but it's better today. I'm surprised because I ended up going down the rabbit hole playing Werdle last night  ::) and didn't get much sleep - that's an addictive game!! LOLOL. Bad on me. But... while I was playing it last night, in the wee, very wee hours of the morning, I suddenly noticed I didn't have a headache! LOL. That didn't last, but it is improved today, so that's good. Maybe I will play some more Werdle... LOL... maybe I better not - I need sleep!  ;D ;D

Hi Puff  :)

Tsk, ewww, interesting about the mites and cicadas. They're almost like little noseeums.. I'm starting to itch just thinking about them. I use "After Bite" it gives me instant relief.

Phyl, cute figurines ... sweet Western Meadowlark.

Baz, The photo is of Antali taken by Dr Greene on an Cottonwood branch. Glad your headaches are better. Werdle looks like fun, but I would get a headache after awhile.

Here's an updated post on Antali.

Hi everyone,
We were a bit worried about Antali since we had not seen him since he fledged two days ago.  But we have watched Finnegan head up the Clark Fork River quite a bit, so this morning we headed up that way.
We found Antali looking hale and hearty about 1/2 mile up the river!  He was sitting on a cottonwood branch that extends over the river, and he was doing what an osprey is supposed to do - peer down in the water looking for fish!  He looks in great condition, and Finnegan has been feeding him away from the nest.  We suspect that Finnegan and Antali have their own "man cave" up the river where they can get away from the rather loud women!!  Ha!
All is well with the Hellgate Osprey family!
Erick Greene and the Montana Osprey Team

Good night!

Yesterday was our monthly breakfast/lunch get together, Phyl.

Our annual block party, BBQ style, different home/yard from year to year, when the men are included, comes in September, Sep 14 this year.  That is scheduled by alternating among the "group" from year to year. 

Interesting. . .one of the ladies brought up the issue of the mite bites.  Eyes opened wide from the group because some knew nothing about the bite/cicada connections.  Instead of comparing their kids' newest events the topic (that even had others in the restaurant listening) it was comparisons of each of our bites, displaying the evidence.

(((Clynn and Family)))

Lani, thanks for the additional updates on Antali being attended to up-river by Finn, and now finding his way back to the nest. Yay!  Antali wanted to come home to see Mama Iris to tell her about his exciting adventures on the river with Dad Finn, and to get some good "home-nest cooking" from Iris.  :D :D :-* :-*  Now I'm waiting on some more recent news of sightings of Sum-eh, who had a successful fledge and returned to the nest and nearby perches, but I haven't seen news of Sum-eh in the last few days. I hope Sum-eh is still around and doing well, too.  :-* :-*  LOL on your funny Caturday video.  ;D ;D

TSK, glad you didn't get severe weather. I had seen there was a chance for that in your area. My sister plays Wordle with a group, too. I actually play the WordPlay game - same rules as Wordle, but with unlimited games anytime for free.

Puff, nice to get out for a bite with your neighbors and regale each other with your bug bites.  ;D

Lisa, what is Jeff putting on the grill today?

Karen, any news from your help about if she tested positive for covid? I hope you are still symptom-free. Will a different person come help you this week till your regular help returns?

OG, are you having Cards Night tonight?





I have the Cincinnati Open Tennis Tourney on in the background - quarterfinals today.

The US Open Tennis Tourney starts Monday, in New York! It will broadcast on different days and times on ABC, and ESPN's networks, including ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN Deportes, and a number of other viewing/streaming options, such as Peacock. My boyfriend has withdrawn, but he plans to play at the Laver Cup, and I'm guessing that may be when and where he officially announces his retirement from professional tennis.  :-* :-*

The official US Open Tennis Tournament website is: https://www.usopen.org/index.html

Lisa sweet Momcat and kitten; Jim was up with the chickens doing weeding and tidy up the garage---esp since it's attached.
I asked what he wanted for Sat dinner ---Mexican take out. ' So be it"I said . Made some of my famous salsa yesterday it's been 'curing'
since then. Lots of chocolate for after . No clue for the entertainment.

Lani another sweet Momcat and kitten; tks for the updates on Antali  w/ snaps too.

OG  'Lady Luck' be w/ you at cards tonight.

Bazi  'Hi-de-hi. Ho-de-ho.'  ;)  Here's to your teams winning.

KB really enjoyed the deer and crop this AM; Dinner sounds good---this ol gal has to have a meat dish, though.  ::)


The osteo surgeon pronounced Dx was a slipped thumb  joint on both hands. This make my hand look 'square' instead of rounded.
 Surgery may still be option.

This is what I have to wear both hands  for the next 2 mos.

I have to have meat/fish protein every day and maybe more than most to feel normal energy and not have an increased appetite.

LANI    LOL  The cat getting the nose bops seemed very non-plussed by the whole thing  LOL

BAZI   Thanks for the tip on WordPlay.  Always looking for ways to keep my brain sharp!  Thanks for the tips on the US Tennis Open

KB   Deer do love corn!  Bucolic photo  :o

Baz, Sum-eh has been to the nest morning, noon and evening for fish since she fledged. She lands and chirps Iris and Finn's ears off for fish. She's seen several times a day. Today she was mad at Finn when he brought a stick to the nest instead of fish and she bit his leg.  ;D

Antali stands tall when Sum-eh arrives on nest to see her sibling home  :-*

Tsk, word games are fun!

No word from help on covid!   I do not have symptoms. But since I have never had it I am not sure what to expect!  No fever or coughing and sneezes are allergy!   Think I am safe. They will send someone  onday to take me to my cardiology appointment!   Otherwise I will be on my own!   Home Alone!  Lol
Wonderful Helgate news.

Hope the Norths like their new home!

PHYL   Interesting links I could open.  Glad I won't be around in 1,000,000 years for cat evolution. :o  Figured it had to be some kind of genetic occurrence for stripes to happen on our tabbies.

Barb and Tom back from Birmingham where the Baptism occurred for the newest grandchild now 3 months.  Also the surprise 50th Anniversary dinner for Barb and Tom.  Not really til October 12th but since they were down for the Baptism already, that side of the family decided to celebrate.

Left Mom's yesterday morning, Cathy caught a 3:30 plane back to Rockwall and Becky and Jennifer are heading back to Oregon this morning. Good to be home, had a good time except for the sad part. Got to visit with cousins I haven't seen in a while! Lots to do today. Lab at 7:00 (for appointment tomorrow), dentist at 11:00 and eye doctor at 2:00. Doctor appt tomorrow at 8:00 and hair appt at 4:30. Have to call Ford this morning, my engine light came on yesterday about 175 miles from home saying I need service, my car was running fine. Pulled into a rest area, shut the engine off and waited a few minutes. When I started up the light didn't come on for an hour so did that again, it came on after an hour. Crazy, but have to get it checked out today!

Lani, so sweet to see Antali sleeping on the nest with Iris watching over him.

BL, sounds like you're chillin'!

Phyl, will read your articles on cats after labs! Want to enjoy with a cup of coffee I can't have until after the lab work!

Got to go for now, will be back a bit later!

Monday’s Symphony

The dawn chorus heralds the light,
A new day born in morning’s embrace,
A symphony of life’s delight,
In every creature’s humble place.
The grinding gears of time’s machine,
Unfolds creation’s rhythmic dance,
A melody of chance and scheme,
A cosmic ballet’s vast expanse.

Tsk sweet little bunny this AM;  What a treasure that handmade dollhouse would be.

I rarely have difficulties falling asleep. But, gosh! I did last night---picking up my new specs later this PM.  They were all I
thought about in bed. It's because I used my old frames knowing that the new Rx might not 'properly' fit   the lenses  even though
I had the fit adjusted first.   ::)    ::)

Posted 2 days ago on Montana Osprey Cam
Hi everyone,
This breeding season has been exciting with lots of challenges for Iris and Finnegan.  Attached is a summary of what we have been lucky enough to witness this breeding season.  Here are some of the big challenges that Iris and her family overcame:
1.  In the middle of the night on 21 May, Iris was brutally attacked by a Great-horned Owl while she was asleep. But she gave as good as she got, and it seemed like that dissuaded the owl from ever returning to the Hellgate nest. Iris taught it not to mess around with her.
2. We had several weeks of punishing record-hot temperatures (with the hottest day recorded on Earth during the modern record-keeping period). Throughout this time Iris shaded her babies, and would dip down to the river to soak her feathers so she could be a swamp cooler.
3.  On the evening of 24 July, Missoua had an extremely severe storm rip through with hurricane-force winds.  Thousands of trees were knocked down in the area, and many osprey chicks in the area were blown out of their nests and died.  But in spite of winds that were probably over 100 mph at their nest, Sum-eh and Antali held on tight and survived the storm.
Iris has proved yet again, after so many years, that she is a survivor! In the face of many challenges and set-backs, she has persevered and produced many healthy Osprey chicks!
Best, Erick Greene and the Montana Osprey Team

A blue moon—which doesn't necessarily mean the Moon will look blue.

Tuesday’s Turbulent Tide
The winds of change blow strong and free
As Tuesday’s waves crash, wild and carelessly
The path ahead unclear, a mystery to unfold
A test of wills, as we face the unknown to hold

The words of wisdom guide, a North Star’s light
As we navigate through life’s turbulent night
The world’s a canvas, with stories yet untold
As Tuesday’s passions, our hearts and souls do mold

Another busy day! Dr. appointment 8:00, dentist 11:00 (I had it wrong yesterday!) and hair trim at 4:30. Lots of items to get listed on eBay!

Phyl, love the sounds and critters on the marsh walk this morning! And love your pretty hearts. 59 here, high 79 today. And a wonderful poem for the day!

oldguy, saving your links for after my 8:00 appt! I spoke with Kay's sister last week, she is still waiting on Iowa to close Kay's estate. It was a year ago in April. A bit slow, I think!

Lani, beautiful moon picture! Love the Hellgate report from Dr. Green, we have had a wonderful season with Iris, Finn and the kids!

Got to go get my shower, will be back later!

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

Clynn, glad you had a good trip, except for the sad parts, and enjoyed getting to visit with so many of your family, especially ones you haven't seen in so long. I hope you get some good news about your car's check engine light! Wow, lots of appts! You are busy, busy!

Lani, Gorgeous Hyacinth Macaws!! They are the longest/largest parrot species. They need even more extra-special care/diet/etc.. That's exactly the same way that Zippo snuggles up against me for her nightly head rubs before her bedtime.  ;D :-*  Thanks for updating me on Sum-eh being at the nest regularly. I wasn't doing a good job of looking into all of what was going on at Hellgate. I was mostly just looking at your pictures. LOL. Oh, love that long report from Dr. Greene on the nesting season events-to-date at Hellgate this year. LOLOL on the fish report from 8/19!!! Antali might be showing Sum-eh who's who soon, after all those fish in a row!!  ;)  Sooo glad Iris and Finn have made such a successful nesting season together this year. Talons crossed they will get to do it all over again next year!!  :-* :-*

OG, a split on the card games. You've been a busy person! I hope the estate gets closed soon. You have worked so long and hard on getting that done.

Lori, why are Destini's paws sandy? Are you vacationing at the beach? I hope you are getting along okay. Take care. Hugs.

Tig, cute pic of your sweet pup visit.

TSK, I've never been to a Shake Shack - would like to! Don't have any locations near me though.

Gotta run for now...
Take care, All,  :)

Ok. WTHeck?!?? In the past month I've had: a swollen lip abraided by a potato chip, a swollen tongue from a spicy food, a swollen fingertip from tightening my cane (?), and today... Stung by a yellow jacket on my big toe as we were sitting on the patio watching Rosie protect the yard from passersby. Camper retrieved an ice cube and applied it for a minute. That took the pain away. Sigh.

I've not seen some of these folks for some years and very many for many more fire.

Sitting in front of that fireplace.

A pilot out of NYS.

Casual conversation .. I 1st landed you in Antartica at McMurdo in 1985.

Baz, thanks for sharing a bit more about the beautiful Hyacinth Macaws!....  Sum-eh was doing all the mantling of taking of fish from Iris, Antali had been timid about it until these last two days... He mastered carrying fish in his talons today. His landings on and off the nest have been super the last two days. He's getting stronger and soon he will be fishing like Iris/Finn and Sum-eh. He's staying home and sleeping on Iris's perch at night... it has been a fantastic summer for Iris!  ;D ... I hope you and Zippo are enjoying better weather.

BL, glad you had a fantastic and memorable trip. Safe travels to your DeLorean, Pip and big K...

Wednesday’s Whimsy

Amid life’s chaos, Wednesday’s wing,
Gives rise to whimsy, dreams take wing,
The world’s a canvas, free to create,
A tapestry woven with purpose and fate.

Chaos disappears, leaving room for play,
A kaleidoscope of moments, void of gray,
Bringing joy, rebelling against life’s mold,
Life’s whimsy, young and unafraid.

Wednesday’s whimsy, giving voice to dreams

Phyl, very interesting 365, love the sounds! Lovely fruits!

Lani, I am so happy for the wonderful season we have had with Iris, Finn and the kids! So perfect in every way! My heart is so happy for all of them and for us! WOW on Finn and the massive amount of fish he brought to the nest yesterday!  He has sure been a Godsend! Gorgeous good night picture from Katmai!

BL, sounds like your trip has been a fantastic experience! Hoping we will be hearing more! And hoping now for a safe trip home for you...

karen, my A1C was 5.3, have lost 17 pounds and no cavities! Loose crown fixed and always feel good after a salon trip! A busy but good day!

tig, WTHeck! is right!

baz, yes, it's good to see old friends and relatives! Sad that it takes a funeral, but that is part of what funerals are for... to help us remember our families.

tsk, sounds like a nice outdoor mall! We drove over to Indiana Wednesday, to eat at Schnitzelbank, famous for its, yes, German menu! It was great! Stopped at Huntingburg on the way, a cute little town with a wonderful main street. Jennifer and I bought tie dye at a shop called Gypsy Girls.

oldguy, enjoyed all the links, especially the bobcat cubs playing!

BrokenLug - Glad to hear you had a great time on your trip.

karen - Thank you  :)

Lani - Beautiful view from Katmai!

Phyl - Love the fruit basket.  Thanks for the 365.

some bounce
Yes, the Paleo is good, but, I must drink lots more water before, during, after? I had one of those episodes again last night... felt pressure in upper G.I. and back. Luckily it subsided within the hour after I took a Rolaid and a Coke. Hmmm...

Pedicure and a haircut later today...

Just woke up!!  9.5 hours of sleep.  Yikes

TIG  Oh no - Hope it doesn't swell too much.  At least Rosie had a good time  ::)   Is winter here yet?  LOL

OLDGUY   Love those cupcakes for Ginger  ;D ;D  What a wonderful time you had.  Was the pilot someone you had run into on the hike?  How long was that trek?  Get ready to gain that day on the way back  ;) ;)

LANI   So happy we had that osprey nest to track this year.  Hopeful for next  :)

Good Morning Beakers! 
Hot!   Cool temps are a long way away!   Maybe nicer in October.
Great report Clynn!  Good for you!
Tig, I hope you are feeling better!
I’m on a new medical plan!  Cardiologist agreed to cancel one of my two diuretics!   Yea!   The lasix  was making me crazy!   Actually, he changed the instruction to as needed.  I have to weigh every morning and if my weight goes up 3 to 4 pounds, I have to take one!  Down one pound this am!  With my 64 ounces of water a day I feel pretty good!   He did tell me my coffee counts against  rhe water total  so  more good news!
Got a call from the help yesterday and she did not get covid.  Told her I would see her next Tuesday!

Phyl Love the yummy fruit basket and late summer nature videos.  ;D

Clynn, a beautiful pink morning! After your busy start to the week and last week's events, it'll be a great tonic to have the munchkins with you today!  :-*  great report for you including "look mom no cavities!"  ;D ... yes, it's been a very successful and heartwarming week at Hellgate. Everyone was worried when Antali was away from the nest for two days. But, once he made it back home, it's been a joy to watch him enjoy his freedom too. You can also see more activity on the 2nd Cam which shows Iris's dead tree across the river. At least 3 ospreys  spend time on the tree. I'm sure they are learning and watching Iris and Finn catch fish.. beautiful photo of the desert hoodoos at G Serena Canyon. At a distance it looks like pearls streaming down the hill and then close up it looks like melons!  ;D.  have a fun day with the munchkins.  :-*

Lisa, I hope all goes well for Jeff  ;D

{{{Tig}}} I hope Rosie is still with you.... beautiful size fishes in the tank! Maybe another fish trip is in the near future. LOL!  ;D

Tsk, I can't remember the last time I've had 9 hours of sleep... good for you!  :-*

8/20 Royal Albatross Weigh day update

On average, the growth spurt phase is over, and the chicks will lose weight prior to fledging.

Top Flat chick is 210 days old and weighs 10.6 kg. Last week he weighed 8.8kg but only 7kg on Sunday when he was then supplementary fed, later LGK and LGL cam back to feed him. He is now above average weight for his age after several weeks of being on the light side.

Top Flat Track chick is 202 days old and weighs 9.6 kg. Last week he weighed 9 kg and has had several feeds since then. This is a below average weight but not of concern.

TIG   Up close and personal with the fish of Minnesota!! :D

LANI   Awww, Iris and Antali.   Interesting weight graph.  Basically it all averages out with lots of side tracks LOL   Those rangers are really bundled.

Just back from the Botanic Gardens - gorgeous day for it and not crowded.  This time our 1 hour walk was all over the vegetable and fruit tree section of this property as well as the boardwalk over the water and the lilies. Got some good ideas for next year. Lunch of course followed.   ;D ;)

Congrats on the A1C. ;)

Lisa hoping all goes well for Jeff at eye doc.

Tsk luv the sleepy bbear "just woke up'.  We've been having lots cooler temps---ratyhr Fall like. I've been forgetting to change the
weather forecast on my AM posts.  >:(

Karen  Oh yeah. Coffee w/ it's caffeine is a great diuretic. I make 'high octaine' , as Jim calls it, coffee. Always save him two cups for
afterwork to keep him awake during 'primetime' hours. LOL

KB very pretty boundary waters of MN photo. Tks; very lucky pooch.

Tig been a while since I've gone to a state fair---always fun; how cool a spa day.

tsk - That's a good night's sleep!  Sounds like a fun day at the Botanic Gardens.

karen - I hope your new medical plan makes you feel better.

kb - Beautiful pic this morning. Awww, so glad they rescued the pup!

Lani - Thanks for the Royal updates, and the pics from Hellgate. 

Phyl & Lani - Thanks...Jeff was prescribed another eye drop for his Pigment Dispersion Syndrome.  This is the 3rd eye drop prescribed.  The doc said, try this one for 8-10 weeks to see if the pressure in eyes come down, if not, laser surgery is his next option. 

Have a good night, everyone :)

Phyl, interest article about bananas. I'll send it to Mike, he eats one every morning.... stunning good night pic.

Tsk, sounds like a nice day at the Botanical Garden... Did you take an pics?

This researcher found the water was 20 degrees warmer than it should be.

tsk - Thanks  :-* The doctor found the eye issue doing a pressure check at regular eye appt.  The specialist in the office sees him for this now.  I want to say a normal pressure is like mid-teens, and Jeff's is in the 20's.  He has been on two different drops for the past two years, so now this is a combination drop to see if it helps.

karen, Lani & Phyl - Thanks   :-*

karen - Good luck with the echo...I hope you can get off some more meds.

kb - LOL, I had the same thought till flight!

Lani - Great pic from Hellgate

tsk, same as you, hot starting Saturday, through Wednesday. Then back to nice again and rain on Thursday!  Nice botanical pics!

Phyl, beautiful Herons in the 365, love watching big birds take a bath, they look so fluffy after! Great folk art good morning pic! The boy's class ring, we used to wrap angora yarn around the stone somehow, there was a shop where you could order a yard of any colors of angora you wanted, I think it was 10 cents for a yard! The metal doll house and the typing class, standard issue!

Lisa, I hope Jeff's eye issues get taken care of quickly and soundly! I will say a prayer for that!

LISA   We have to be there by 7 AM  He has to stay overnight because NO ONE TOLD US  he had to be off Jardiance for 3 days.  This particular anesthesiologist wants that to happen.  Tim will only have been off the drug 2 days.  He's never been a patient at this hospital so they know nothing about him so the phone calls were many today.  Had to help him with a few due to not hearing well. 
Hope this all goes smoothly.  Secretly tho I'm glad they will keep him because after any surgical procedure his blood sugar goes sky high requiring insulin so he will be in there and maybe get a few doses before coming home the next AM.  He is not a happy camper however but I'm trying to get him to make the best of it and not see all the negative..

OLDGUY  Beautiful greeting for Lani and Mike

CLYNN   Oh I can so appreciate your comment about waiting a day to cool down. So frustrating  HUGS   Big Sur bridge - these kinds of things make me wonder how it got made in the first place!

No rain but a  cool afternoon of 80 degrees.  Wind out of the ne and lower humidity!   Too bad only one more day of this before the heat returns!

The sun descends to fire-kissed sea,
A revel held by starry skins,

In swirling skirts and revelry,
The children of the Universe,
Unite in freedom’s subtle key.

Surgery was delayed for 1 hour 15 min - guess doc's first one took longer than expected.   Actual surgery took 1 hour 20 min but was in recovery an hour before they let me come and see him.  Nurse said he did great and all is well.  They were waiting for a room for him at which time I will go back.  Think I will call recovery now to see what is up.

Very Interesting!  Never heard of or saw a Jacaranda.  I didn't see any mention - is there a likewise nice scent?

Hello Beakers.  :)

I'm awake when I should be asleep, so I'm doing a quick catch-up on all things Beak Room.


Karen, I've been having about the same weather as you - and have enjoyed getting some fresh air into the house with open windows. Ahhh. Heat and humidity will return here, and increase bit by bit starting tomorrow. We will be back in triple digit heat index land again in a couple days. The 3 or 4-day break from that has been really nice! So glad to hear your help didn't test positive for Covid the other day, and I hope that means you didn't get exposed from her before that, and hope she stays negative. I hope you got a visit here and there from a neighbor maybe while the help was not available to you this past week. It sure was great weather for porch sitting and visiting!

(((TSK))), so glad to hear Tim's surgery went well and he is doing okay. Ugh on the surgery delay and then long wait for a room... makes for such a long day - I know you are exhausted, and Tim will be glad to get home tomorrow! Prayers for a quick recovery/rehab of hand for him, and a great result.

Lani, yum on your prime rib celebratory dinner! And another nice dinner with Shannon tonight! Awww, love that pic from Hellgate - Antali is sacked out!  :-*

(((Clynn))), boo hiss on the Ford Service Dept! I remember your last go-round about the hatchback issue, too. They are not redeeming themselves so far!  Love Talon and Bella's 1st day of school pics!!  :-* I hope they like their teachers and class this year.  :) My LGN's 1st day of 1st Grade was this past Monday. I got a couple of pics, but I haven't heard much except that the 1st day rated "two thumbs up."  ;)

Lisa, I hope Jeff gets some improvement with the new eye meds. I need to google that condition - I'm not familiar with it.

BL, you got an extra-fun pickup for your ride home from JFK!  :D  Looong day of commercial air travel for you. Welcome home!


My regular walking fell to the wayside the last 6 weeks or so. I just couldn't hang with the non-stop excessive heat and humidity, especially combined much of that time with a non-stop headache. The walking temps have been nice here the last few days, so Wednesday I went for my 1st neighborhood walk in a while. I had only walked maybe 10 minutes when I ran into someone I needed to catch up with, and that went longer than expected, so I headed right back home afterward.  ???  LOL... so not much of a walk that day. It was really nice out on Thursday, but I walked only 20 minutes. I'm out of practice!  ::) But I got out again this Friday morning, and enjoyed a nice 30-minute walk, so that was good.


Good night. Peace. SED.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE

LANI  That good night shot of Antali made me think he's glad to be sleeping in his own bed last night  LOL

BAZI   Same here.  it was so nice to have 3 or so days with windows open and no humidity.  Now we are also back to 90's plus and A/C running.   Easing back into your walking regimen is the way to go.  Punkin' is a cute poser as well  ;D ;D  Loved the 2 thumbs up.
What a cool pillow structure for Lil bro.  Never have seen anything like that before.

baz, hope you are sleeping well now...  Great picture of Lil' Punkin, she looks very happy! The little ones love school, I remember being so excited back then! Those are some big soft blocks Lil' Bro is playing in, makes a nice tent! We have had a nice week weather-wise, today starts 5 days of HOT. We haven't had any days of 100 or more yet, but Monday says 101.  :o  Ed talked to another Ford dealership in Des Moines, (actually the dealership I bought the car from) and they are going to look at it. He said they were very nice, I even got a text from them asking if they could text me updates. Meanwhile, there are no warning lights coming on and it is running fine. It just seems like it was a fluke. Vehicle is a 2017 with 41,000 miles. Too few miles to need a new turbo-booster... Only driven by a little old lady!

Lani, how was your dinner with Shannon? Hope she is doing well! Did she ever get another dog? Sweet picture of Antali fast asleep in the nest... I saw your wedding picture on FB, hope you don't mind that I post it...

Lani - That good night pic of Antali reminds me of one of my highway osprey in nest.  When passing by, I have only been seeing a young one in nest.  I look around for a parent and don't see one around.

baz - Love the pics of the lil greats!  We had never heard of that eye condition either.  I will tell you this tho, Jeff has the longest lashes now, as that is one of the side effects from one of the drops.  I am jealous  ;D

KB - I hear ya. Camper's son will be cutting grass for us today. It was hot enough when I went out this morning... sprayed and pulled weeds, removed the broken pieces of little picket fence the neighbor's visitors broke last week and rearranged some of the good pieces to just be on the ends, perpendicular to the street (to deter the dog walkers/dogs). Then I took a bucket to the yard waste site. Home in time to shower, do dishes and feet up to watch the Vikes!

After the game i'll venture upstairs to clean and start packing. Laundry day tomorrow.

CLYNN   Glad the original dealership will stand by the product.  Maybe I messed the fact that when you got the car there the light wouldn't go on???     The horrors of dealing with a discharge on a Saturday are drink worthy - but it is too early.  Home by 1:15.
Love Lani's wedding photo  ;D   Furry Friends Rescue - Hysterical and so glad they posted that LOLOL

LISA   Tim has a very low pain tolerance!  The wound is about 2" and deep which is why the doc told him it would take maybe two weeks to heal.  It's going to be a long 2 weeks.    LOL  Jeff's long lashes.  Mine are long too but with my eye lid drops you can't even see them anymore.

PHYL   quiet day 365  :)   spy - pigeon or cat... ::)

KB   Felt bad for the queen of the night flower.  :(   Very interesting about the "stand alone" wolf/dog esp when seeing the 3 together.
Just heard that about the Feb rescue.

OLDGUY   Cave piece was fascinating.

As of an hour ago, the astronauts will not be coming home until February!  Stay tuned!   Maybe Santa Clause can make an unexpected stop and bring them back for Christmas!  Boring has had way too many issues!

Thanks for the videos, old Guy!  Interesting caves!

Tsk,  Tim  is home!   Lol, a long two weeks! The Cute first day if school pictures.  Bella is a Sassy Miss!   Lol,  Erin will have some trouble with her!
Phyl. No walking Piper!  I just let her out in the fenced in backyard and I sit on the patio.    I look out fr the red  tailed hawk that likes to sit on the fence.

Lani, great wedding picture!  Darling couple!  Did I miss reading that Shannons pup went to the rainbow bridge!  I hope not!

Happy Caturday, Beakers!


I went for a 32-minute walk this morning. Breaking in new walking shoes this week, too - not really liking them so much yet, and hope they will loosen/soften up some with more use. I have NPR radio on in the room, and just also heard the news that the 2 "stranded" U.S. astronauuts at the ISS will hop a ride back home on a future SpaceX flight, and that the pesky Boeing Starliner module they went to the ISS in will return without them. I also heard about another round of free Covid tests for free mailing to households will be available starting near the end of September. Each household can order 4 free mailed at-home Covid tests then. Those new tests will test for newer variants of Covid and will be good through the end of the year. That will be helpful for people wanting to test for newer variants before and after group outings/get-togethers this Fall and through the year-end holidays. There's also some other good info in this article, and a bit of info about the new MRNA Covid vaccines just approved this week that will be coming this Fall, too, that are for the newer variants.

Most all the major news outlets have covered this recent news. Here's the one from NPR that I just heard about on the radio. Just scroll past the embedded ads for the whole article, which is pretty short:

https://www.npr.org/2024/08/24/nx-s1-5088623/free-covid-tests-by-mail


Phyl, just FYI, it's Lisa's Jeff with that eye condition, not me.  ;)  LOL, your Hipster Cat looks like someone I know!!   ;D ;D

Lisa, I also would be jealous of the long lashes side effect Jeff's getting from one of his eye meds!! Though I wouldn't want to wish an eye problem on anyone! ((Jeff))

Clynn, glad Ed could follow-up with the other car dealership on your car's sporadic Check Engine Light coming on. Of course it wouldn't do it when you took it to the dealer... ain't that the way it so often goes.  ::) I hope the other more customer-friendly and responsive dealer location will find some answers for you.

TSK, I'm glad Tim's home! Hugs for the "Big Baby."  ;D ;) ;)  Just kidding... I hope (((Tim))) mends quickly and excellently!!  :)  P.S. I don't think you need to be reminded that it's 5 o'clock somewhere!!  ;) ;D 8)

Lani, I love that wedding picture of you and Mike! I think it's been posted here before, a long time ago, but it's fun to see it again!  :) You wore such a pretty wedding dress, and I think you said maybe it was one of your aunts, or maybe your grandmother? who made it for you? My memory is very foggy about that, so please remind me. (((You and Mike))) are a "beautiful couple!"  :) :-*

Karen, sitting on the porch while Piper checks out all things of interest in the yard sounds good to me!  :D I hope your help will do another test the morning before she comes back to your house Tuesday, as a just-in-case. I believe the guidelines are that if someone is exposed, and tests negative, if they have symptoms then they should test a 2nd time 48 hrs after that 1st test. And they recommend three tests for people who have been exposed who don't have symptoms, also 48 hours apart.

Tig, sorry about your fence. Is Rosie still visiting?

KB, it's interesting about wolf/dog mixes. I guess it isn't all that rare. Seems like I've read that intentional breeding of wolf/dog mixes is illegal in most, if not all, states.

OG, glad to hear positive news about the Iceland fissures.  Hope you win at cards tonight!  :D

Puff, I've never known about those pretty flowering trees either till now. A new one for me!  :)


Take care, All. Peace.  :)

Hi Karen you're correct on CoVid being covered by Medicare

BL enjoyed the Willie Nelson from last night

KB tks for the animal links. Esp enjoyed the white lion. Tks.

OG tks for keeping us up to date on Iceland




This is what was in the  Medicare.gov email sent to subscribing Medicare recipients   on or about 8/15/24
I've Hi-lighted the CoVid info:
"...
People with Medicare Part D (drug coverage) pay nothing out of pocket for even more vaccines, making it easier to stay up to date with your immunizations.
What's Covered?
Medicare Part D covers these vaccines and more at no cost to you:
•   Shingles
•   Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) (Tdap)   •   RSV
•   Hepatitis A
•   Hepatitis B, if you're at low risk for the virus

Remember, Medicare also covers flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, and pneumococcal shots. Talk with your doctor about which vaccines can help you stay healthy!."

Embracing the Sunlight

Sunflowers alight, like a flame,
In daybreak’s warmth, kissed by the sun’s name.
Their strength emerges, with morning’s hymn,
An anthem of surrender, a dance of whim.

Petals open wide, faces to the heavens high,
Absorbing radiant beams, one can only sigh.
An offering to the skies, to the blue so grand,
A yellow prayer, an orchestra, “I’ll understand.”

Phyl - Pretty colorful flowers this morning. 

Lani - The two main side effects of the prescription drops were long lashes, and the color of the eyes could lighten.  Jeff got the long lashes.  I will have to notice if the highway parents are in the trees along the highway.  I get sad seeing the kiddo in nest by itself.

kb - Beautiful white lion!

BL - Thanks for the tunes, and have fun on your next adventure.

baz - Thanks for the info on free Covid test in mail coming soon.  No, I do not wish his eye condition on anyone.  :)

Phyl, yes, you were up early this morning! With pretty sunflowers! And another lovely poem for the day... Yesterday TWC said 101 for today, but now it says 95 for the high. Hot through Thursday, then nice again!  I kind of got the impression that the two astronauts were okay with staying at the International Space Station until February, but maybe it's not so. I wondered what was there to do there and found this article:  https://www.nasa.gov/international-space-station/

Lani, that is a very cute couple that got married on that day 54 years ago! And they are still a cute couple! Harley was a little neater with the paper towels, at least this one time, and the tissues, then there was Honey and her boxes:

Lisa, I'll have one of those yummy looking breakfast rolls! I have never heard of long lashes being a side effect of a med!  How strange - I would be jealous too! LOLOL!

tsk, sounds like Tim will be fine in just a short time, just needs to get back into his rhythm...

baz, I will have to wait and see what the other Ford dealer says about my car. The powertrain warranty is 6 yrs/60,000 miles.  My vehicle is 7 yrs/41,000 miles, so they might cover it. But the lights have not come back on since i got home, and the engine light was off Tuesday morning. Supposedly no one can turn that off but a service person. So I am wondering if it is a fluke! Driving fine, like always. It's just the TRUST thing, dare I drive to Mom's again?

Hi Puff, Kb,

Clynn, love morning pics..... Honey and the box! LOL!! Your cautious intuitions about the car are very valid to me. I admire the trips you make to Ohio on your own, you're awesome. So, continue to trust your gut feelings about the car.  :-* ... love the building art.

Royal Albatross ~ LGK Returns to Feed TF! 🐥 TFT Does A Skycall 🐥 ♫ 8.24.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHqOHCLnhGg

Aug 24, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
TF is a lucky chick! After getting a feeding earlier in the morning from LGL, now he sees Dad LGK arrive home! TF runs to meet Dad wheeing & begging for his squid special! LGK feeds his chick with some good mouthfuls ♥ When LGK is finished he heads to the left and walks just past TFT. He stops and quite unexpectedly - TFT does a skycall for him at 07:38 . That was sweet to see and hear! LGK then departs over the sea - TF is on his nest and TFT does some wing exercises.

The video does have some lags and skips in it - I tried to take out as many as I could. Thank you for watching!

Tig -  Our friends went to the west coast for 2 weeks last month, with stops in Disneyland, Vegas, Yellowstone and Badlands.  They had some detours along the way, but not enough to change any reservations.  One of the overnights was at Old Faithful Lodge.  Have a great trip and keep up to date on the wild fire locations and air quality along the way.

8/24/ Finn delivers fish to Antali - Posted on Hellgate cam

https://x.com/i/status/1827381822151385464

Handsome Antali, look at his intense brown eyes and light color chest feathers. His chest feathers are the lightest in the family.

Antali, gorgeous intense boy  :-*

Beautiful Iris with her speckled green eyes
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GVxFaoMWAAAT55o?format=jpg&name=900x900)

Here you see Finn's gorgeous green eyes... Finn flew in with a second fish. To start Antali defended the fish he had, even made a threat move on Finn.  Then saw the new fish and took it.  Note Finn lifts his foot away before A can take it- in protective defense maybe? ... all these actions are to build Antali's offensive and defensive instincts for surviving on his own.  ;D

Sum-eh front note the brown eyes. Her eyes are just a tad lighter and she has lots dark feather chest necklace like Iris...  Antali back :-*

These pics and question posted by Shep in the Hellgate Osprey thread.
I found the videos of the moment that was captured by Heather Lewis and posted by Dr. Eric Greene.
Antali was defending the nest against another young osprey, possibly one of Louis's.

Dr. Greene posted this yesterday morning
Heather Lewis caught this moment when another juvenile osprey tried to land on the nest. Dr. Greene previously reported seeing Louis and 2 of his chicks in the area. Could this be one of his chicks? We don't know, but interesting. #HellgateOsprey

What I wonder about is running out of food...I would not like to drive that distance without knowing more either about the engine light  :o :o  So your headlights don't go on??  That should be a clue and maybe what is causing the engine light issue.  Beautiful building art.  :o

TIG  Cool link! Esp about how far away to stay from elk/ bears etc. Hope that one road closure won't be an issue for you.

LANI   Great stills from the Royals  ;D   Beautiful shot of Antali.  What a pair of gorgeous birds.  Yikes, that was some very dramatic video at the nest.

They have stayed at OF Lodge several times over the years - the last trip out there was at the time of the floods - they got a coupon for a future stay because of the lodge closure at that time and used that this year.  Reservations for the lodge need to be made 1 year in advance.  Their 2 sons (early 40s and single) did all of the trip planning and driving.  They worked on the plans details for at least 3 months.

Lani Your doughnuts  'jpg'  remind me of----As a family we made raised or yeast doughnuts. Mom would fold and punch down the dough over the course of 3 days each night leave it to 'rest' in a larger Tupperware mixing bowl covered w/ waxed paper. In the Am she'd find it sprawled all over the kitchen counter. Friday night she and Dad would cut out the doughnuts and their holes place them on 3 larger cookie sheets,cover and allow to raise. Then on a Saturday after lunch she'd uncover and Dad would deep fry in a Dutch Oven until 'perfectly golden' and drain.
When cooled us kids would glaze---Larry and  Dan the doughnuts and little me would do the 'holes'. That night Mom would set out
a dozen for us. A dozen was given to our two close neighbors.
 The receipt was closely guarded. ;)   And, yes I have it. Jim and I've made them for us on occasion. Mom's doughnuts would rival  today's Krispy Kreme !! Thanks for the memories.  :-*

KAREN   He did much better today.   Walked in the house 3 times for 20-25 minutes, worked on some stuff at his desk ( our kitchen table) and ate 3 heart healthy meals I prepared.  He was trapped  LOL   Took several naps as well. 

LISA   I could only laugh out loud as Jeff was wondering if one eye would be lighter than the other.  I thought of the huskie that Barb and Tom had for many years with 1 blue eye and one brown   ;D  He can be grateful that won't happen.  Patient is doing much better than yesterday - Biggest problem is up and down from his recliner even tho he has a power lift which he is trying not to use.  Trying his hardest to take less Norco and doing pretty good with that.  Just puts him right to sleep.

PHYL  Some very good links to read.  Great donut memories!   Now that needs to go in the history books about traveling the entire  route 66 x2.  That was the only way back in the 60s that we got out to the Grand Canyon for a 3 week family camping trip.

I like to say "been there, done that"  but not this time OG.
 
I know that Lani can say she's seen rain in Hawaii- I've been to the islands at least 12 times, and never once had an umbrella.  I've seen Rainbow Falls a couple times - last time took me forever to hike that path (no doubt won't be doing that again).  But such a change; looked more like Muddy Water Falls, not a rainbow to be seen.  Don't think you could hear yourself think with the roar of the rush.  Wonder who the person was who taped that ride in the rain.

I didn't hear anything as bad on the other islands.  By the lack of reports it only skimmed Hawaii Island.  Maybe they'll be putting some moisture numbers out later.

Parents and I were in Hawaii March of 1972. We were on a tour of 4 islands. A storm came through the night before we were to leave. The airport was flooded. The tour company left us flat. A group of various stranded tourists designated a couple of people to go to the airport to get tickets for the group. Eventually about 2 dozen of us flew out on a 747.

Puff - that channel is Apau Hawaii Tours - it is a 1 man (Scott) and a pickup, tour operator on the Big Island. He does personal tours of up to 5 people.  He lives in Leilani Estates (the housing development that had half of the homes destroyed by lava in 2018)  He was one of about 5 locals that did a real good job of covering the eruption.  He bought a lava lot in 2019 that was on the side of fissure 8, so he could bring his tours into the community to show them the destruction up close.  He has covered all of the eruptions of Kilauea since then.  He lives with Charles, who does the channel "Doing Hawaii", which is bot run 24/7, to give current status of Kilauea and Mauna Loa Volcanoes.

Phyl, thanks for nature video and Cornell Lab news on birds and their need for water... what a wonderful and special memory of your mom's special donuts, and your family working together to make them and share with friends.

Lisa, I was hungry for donuts this morning and your aunt's donuts would hit the spot! YUM!

Puff, I was reading an article the other day about R66 celebration coming. https://www.route66-centennial.com/

Tsk, glad Tim felt a bit better today...continued prayers.

Oldguy, thanks for videos... lave update... and the rain from Hone doesn't look bad in the city, but the falls and down below, there must be tremendous flooding! Goodness, that is raging! Thanks for info on Scott and Apau Hawaii Tours...

The dawn chorus heralds the light,
A new day born in morning’s embrace,
A symphony of life’s delight,
In every creature’s humble place.

The grinding gears of time’s machine,
Unfolds creation’s rhythmic dance,
A melody of chance and scheme,
A cosmic ballet’s vast expanse.

Phyl, interesting 365, wonder why they never focused on the bison! Much the same temps here today, 1 degree higher now and 1 degree higher for the high! Another pretty poem for Monday!  Love the morning words from the 59th Street Bridge Song! I always called it a happy song!  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=Harpers+Bizarre+59th+Street+Song+youtube&&mid=2BD8F8EDAC44F5A24CF32BD8F8EDAC44F5A24CF3&&FORM=VRDGAR

Lani, your good night picture of Iris, I think she is smiling and happy because she finally found a good man and successfully raised two wonderful chicks...

oldguy, wow on the video of Rainbow falls! Thanks for the volcano updates!

tsk, glad to hear that Tim is doing well, just takes more time these days. About my vehicle, I had just filled up with gas in Walcott IA, about 150 miles from home when the warning light came on. I didn't notice then if the engine light was on or not. Called Ed, he called Erin, they told me to pull into the next rest stop, turn the engine off, wait a few minutes and back on. No warning light, so off I went. The warning light came back on in an hour, so I did the same. Car running fine, the light came back on another hour but was close to WDM so I kept going. I finally noticed the little engine light on. Car still fine! Called Ford and got appt for 8:00 Thursday. The engine light was not on. They told me it would be 2-3 hours. At noon I called for update, said they were still looking at it and would get back to me soon. I called again at 1:00 and the 3rd guy told me he would call me back in 5 minutes. No call. So I called back again, UPDATE! Needs a new Turbo Booster, $3600+. Ed took me out to get my car. He made an appointment at the Ford dealer where I bought the car, we shall see what happens. Powertrain warranty is 5 yrs/60,000, but although car is 7 years old, mileage is 41,000 so it might be covered, if that is really the problem. The car should not be running normally if that is the problem!  So there is the story, sorry it's so long!

A woodpecker preparing for winter starts by finding a dead tree and meticulously making holes to store acorns. Each hole is carefully crafted; if it's too large, other birds can easily steal the acorns, and if it's too small, the acorns can break and spoil. By the end of summer, the woodpecker's precise work is complete. The ripened acorns are placed in the holes, with a single large tree trunk capable of holding around 50,000 acorns, ensuring the bird has enough food for a satisfying winter

Yes,tig with a dew point still at 75 and high temps all my windows were fogged up this am as well.

thanks, oldguy, for the additional weather info from your video.

These conditions do make it seem possible for ominous weather this evening. I got a bad feeling about it.

I will spend my morning preparing as the temps with high dew point will only climb this afternoon.

Like you tig, bring umbrella down and tied down....but, also i will move many annuals in pots to protected cover, and garden art as well...

Plan on grilling my steak for dinner early before noon....just re-heat it later.

I have all my devices covered with battery back up units now since our last power outage. But didn't get better flash- lights yet....darn. It's almost September and thought I could wait till next year. But, Minneapolis and my suburb in particular have had way too many power outages this year to think the way I have!

Later...

yep... when I got out there I realized my hanging pots in the garden should come down. Would have done that for vacay anyway... so all set to go.
I encountered what I thought was a large dead bug on the sidewalk. Gave it a nudge with my cane. It reacted. So I flipped it over. It gave a loud buzzed "thank you" as it flew away.   ;)

Love that capture of Iris on night duty protecting the nest while she's there.  What she needs to do perhaps is stack her claim on Finnegan!

After finally making my stand at the west end of 66 last year (2023) I did complete the "need".   But still have one point of the authentic to solve - that's on the east beginning. Truth be told they haven't really ever had a true start. 

100 Years means it semi-started officially in 1926.  I believe it was called IL Rte 7.  The Trail was west of what became Chicago, many Indian tribes were set along the path.  One original name was the Pontiac Trail - because the Pontiac Indians said so.  Somehow the east start was placed close to a big  ::)  lake, a good place for practical issues, at Michigan Blvd and Jackson Blvd.  Then to give tourists more room and shoppers more stores, it was moved back toward the beach at Lake Shore Drive and Jackson Blvd.  Current tiny sign is now back at Michigan Blvd and the Art Museum.  So many changes????  Politics, convenience, BIG fire, commercial powers that be, etc., etc, etc.

Truth be told there are 2 "Ends" posted in Santa Monica, too.

My Dad moved to Chgo to find work - then we (Mom, Rodney, Edward, me, Rita =6) joined him in 1953.  Most of the relatives stayed out west.  Mom had 12 brothers/sisters.  They transplanted Washington State to Arizona and Kansas/Nebraska to California.  We spent a lot of time and gas money traveling back and forth to see our extended huge family.  That was on the original Route 66, much later officially I80, 1964.

Wow it looks like my ingrown lerning / teaching mood just took over.   :-*  Class closed.

Clynn, beautiful Monday pics... woodpeckers have been busy here planting the acorns in the trees at the dog park.... Read your comments to Tsk about your car. I hope it gets resolved soon....  I was surprised no one commented on Louis's chicks trying to land on Hellgate's nest which was defended by Antali... Louis and his chicks have been seen around the nest and near Iris.

Tig, lots of fun trips to plan for 2026.  ;D

Kb, have a good day  :)

Puff, I always enjoy your special classes  ;D I hear you about Iris and her mates! LOL! I wish they would migrate together.

An Osprey male and female main instinct is to protect their nest. Because it is located near their only food source, fish.
Ospreys nest in a wide variety of habitat types. Good nesting sites are emerging dead or live trees or other structures with easy access located near rivers, lakes, bays, reservoirs, lagoons, swamps, and marshes. Some ospreys have nested within 10 miles of a body of water.

Areas near water have become prime real estate reducing the number of available nesting sites. Ospreys now nest on channel markers, communication towers, and utility poles. Many people provide nesting platforms, which birds readily take.

Nesting Ospreys defend only the immediate area around their nest rather than a larger territory. They will chase away other Ospreys that encroach on their nesting areas.

They leave the nest separate from their mates in early to mid-September.
And won't see each other again till early to mid-April. I pray Iris and Finn will return safely next spring.

Have seen several nature shows identifying that woodpecker behavior  ;D  Amazing

LISA   Spoke with my nephew's wife who is a pharmacist as I wanted to know the safe way to reduce the norco.  She came up with a great plan and we shall see how it works.  He's feeling much better today.

KB  Hopefully with all this preparation - nothing will actually happen  - Hopefully. :-\

PUFF  Always enjoy your classroom lessons!!  ;D ;D

LANI  I did see that video yesterday with Antali's instincts kicking in.  Louis's kids definitely inherited his genes!  I remember the PBS special recently on osprey saying that - to add to your notes-  they don't return because of their partner - they return for the nest!!

Off to run Tim's errands  LOLOL

When we got Tim home around 1 PM yesterday I'd say he slept 75% of that time in his recliner.  ( slept not a wink the night he had to stay there.)  So much discomfort and didn't even feel like eating til about 8 PM .  Went to bed about 9.  Heard him in the kitchen at 6:30 - "How did you sleep" - LIKE A ROCK"  Phew!!!  So now we're in Day 2  and each day should be getting better

...

((TSK)), that's good news that ((Tim)) slept so well after he got home! I know that goes a long way to helping him feel a bit better. I hope he has less discomfort today, too, and will get better and better each day till a full recovery. Hugs all around.  :-*

Hi Beakers!

I'm catching up on 2 days of posts here, and replying as I go along, I still have a bit to read to get caught up.

FYI for those interested... the 1st round of the US Open Tennis Championship started today - it's airing live now on ESPN, as of noon Eastern time, today, and both ESPN and ESPN2 will air live coverage in primetime tonight starting at 7pm Eastern. Other ESPN family of outlets will cover, too, and I'm sure streaming places, too, which I don't have. I am watching on cable TV. Last week was the qualifying rounds - important because 32 players came from that to start in the 1st round of the tournament play as of today.

Coco Gauff is playing now on ESPN. She's seeded #3, and just won her 1st set 6-2 vs Grecheva (France).
Djokovic plays his 1st round match later today - I think tonight, maybe 7pm Eastern? , but I'm not sure, so check the schedule of play online to be certain if you plan to watch that. My memory will not suffice. ;) ;D

Royal Albatross ~ LGK Returns to Feed TF! 🐥 TFT Does A Skycall 🐥 ♫ 8.24.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHqOHCLnhGg

Aug 24, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
TF is a lucky chick! After getting a feeding earlier in the morning from LGL, now he sees Dad LGK arrive home! TF runs to meet Dad wheeing & begging for his squid special! LGK feeds his chick with some good mouthfuls ♥ When LGK is finished he heads to the left and walks just past TFT. He stops and quite unexpectedly - TFT does a skycall for him at 07:38 . That was sweet to see and hear! LGK then departs over the sea - TF is on his nest and TFT does some wing exercises.

The video does have some lags and skips in it - I tried to take out as many as I could. Thank you for watching!

Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

8/24/ Finn delivers fish to Antali - Posted on Hellgate cam

https://x.com/i/status/1827381822151385464

Handsome Antali, look at his intense brown eyes and light color chest feathers. His chest feathers are the lightest in the family.

Antali, gorgeous intense boy  :-*

Beautiful Iris with her speckled green eyes
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GVxFaoMWAAAT55o?format=jpg&name=900x900)

Here you see Finn's gorgeous green eyes... Finn flew in with a second fish. To start Antali defended the fish he had, even made a threat move on Finn.  Then saw the new fish and took it.  Note Finn lifts his foot away before A can take it- in protective defense maybe? ... all these actions are to build Antali's offensive and defensive instincts for surviving on his own.  ;D

Sum-eh front note the brown eyes. Her eyes are just a tad lighter and she has lots dark feather chest necklace like Iris...  Antali back :-*

Lani, thanks!  :)  Great report, and I love these pics! It looks like Antali is taking after his dad, Finn, with those light chest feathers! I haven't said this here before, but I have the belief that Iris laid her 2nd egg very soon after copulating with Finn (which hatched to be Sum-eh),and after Finn got rid of her 1st egg this year, which Finn knew couldn't be from him, and I believe that Sum-eh is actually hatched from an egg fertilized by Louis, not Finn, though Finn doesn't know it, and there's no proof. (As we know, Osprey have the ability to store sperm for many days before it may fertilize an egg.) And I think that's why the longer-than-usual number of days between that egg being laid, and Iris's 3rd egg being laid this year, which hatched to be Antali, of course. What a great Osprey year it has been at the Hellgate nest this year!  :-* :-* :-*

...

A woodpecker preparing for winter starts by finding a dead tree and meticulously making holes to store acorns. Each hole is carefully crafted; if it's too large, other birds can easily steal the acorns, and if it's too small, the acorns can break and spoil. By the end of summer, the woodpecker's precise work is complete. The ripened acorns are placed in the holes, with a single large tree trunk capable of holding around 50,000 acorns, ensuring the bird has enough food for a satisfying winter

Clynn, WOW!! I would go nuts if I got to see that Woodpecker's tree full of acorns in person!!  :D :D :o  That's a real Wowie-Zowie!!   I just about went nuts on one of my neighborhood walks this past Spring when I came upon a tree that had 1, yes, just 1!! LOL, acorn stuffed into a space on the tree trunk.  ;D ;D  Oh, thanks for sharing the whole car story... that must've been a bit anxiety-producing to experience that on your trip!! Glad it didn't cause a problem for you completing that road trip, but I can certainly understand being a bit nervous about trusting it on the road again till you get a better feel for whatever is causing that to happen. I hope the other Ford place that's going to look at it can give you a better analysis - one you can trust! And I hope whatever work might be needed will be covered under warranty. Fingers crossed!!

Yay! Hopefully, no birdie got hurt in that fray.  I took note of your post about that, but didn't mention it earlier. Iris and Finn have done a great job or raising Sum-eh and Antali! Yes! I too am already hoping they will both return to each other at Hellgate next year!! Talons crossed for all to make a safe and healthy migration "loop."  :-* :-*

I need to find a stronger word than yukky!.. ::)
The only thing one can do is sit in the couch.

Luckily, though many lost power, downed trees etc. this time I lucked out!...I was totally prepared for device back ups and downstairs as our sirens went off....but nada other than wind/rain and still have power.

guess that's the trick: be totally prepared and nothing happens....not prepared and then you lose power.
Kind of like don't put that shovel away too early as then it always snows.

I have one gfci outlet inside my garage that won't reset..will need to call an electrician me thinks. won't stay pushed in and it powers my outdoor camera....boo. checked my fuse box downstairs and nothing looks tripped. Meanwhile I'll have to run an extension cord to a different working outlet.

KB - I had to replace my GFCI outlets a couple of weeks ago - it would not reset when you pushed the button - when I took the front cover off, multiple small pieces of plastic fell out.  The plastic case had shattered from age - 30 years old - I have 2 in my house, so I replaced the other as well - it had several cracks and would have failed soon.  Check your house to see how many you have and have the electrician replace them all at once.  They have a spring inside of them that acts as the trigger force to trip the outlet off - this is a constant pressure on the plastic case.

In order to get truly lost entails not being anywhere, I haven't been able to re-create that.

Lani, sweet good night kitties... Love the updates on the Royal Albies, they will soon take flight, on to their new adventure! Those sweet little sloths , how many on that branch? Looks like at least 5, all huddled together!

tig, DANG!  Hope the outage doesn't last too long!

BL, hope you never get lost! Do you have a lot of intoxicated people running into your power poles?

Puff, I was curious as to what replaced Route 66 and found this little bit. We drove 66 every summer when I was a kid, when we were stationed in NM and AZ, to visit Grandpa and Grandma:

Route 66 was replaced by five Interstates: I-55 southbound from Chicago, I-44 across Missouri and Oklahoma, I-40 in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, I-15 and finally I-10 into Los Angeles. Today, in 2024, several states recognize the historical significance of the road, and have it marked with "66" in the state highway number.

tsk, so good to hear that Tim is feeling much better, hope he is even better today! I can't even think of Ed getting off the oxycontin and oxycodone, he has been on it for over 10 years because of his back. Hope Tim doesn't have any issues!

TIG  Kind of a beautiful sunset, tho.   My friend in the UP which was also scheduled to have some rough weather said it was a really rough scary night.  Lots of debris on her lawn this AM  Just read about the power loss.  Hope it won't be for too long.

CLYNN  That was very interesting about the interstates that replace the original Rte 66.     Tim has to get off of Norco - and he will. It keeps his blood sugar over 200 and this has been since April!!!  It was 280 when he left the hospital Friday ( they did not give him insulin before he left.) But now on regular diabetic meds it was 197 the other day.  Hope it is still better this AM

Tuesday’s Tranquility

Tuesday’s calm lies wrapped in mist,
The world awakens from its dreamy twist,
Morning sunbeams warm my skin,
The misty veil begins to spin.

Serenity wraps me in its fold,
As the morning breeze whispers secrets untold,
The trees sway gently in the breeze,
Nature’s peaceful dance brings me to my knees.

Tuesday’s tranquility, so serene,
In stillness, I find what’s truly mine.

Xcel made almost $2-billion in profit last year, but power service in Minnesota feels less and less reliable.

Maybe Xcel could be spending some of their 10-figure profits on upgrading their equipment so people aren’t without electricity for days every time there’s a storm.

Royal Albatross update from Ranger Sharyn Broni

Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)
Name the chick, what happens on land affects the sea. Thanks for all the great name submissions, it has been super to see all the conservation action happening out there.
https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/royal-cam/namethechick/

We are selecting 10 names from the submissions for you to vote on. Watch this space.

TF chick :-*   Weigh day update: there is no weighing for Top Flat and Top Flat Track chicks this week.

Both chicks are doing very well, and the ranger time will go into the lighter weight chicks elsewhere in the colony.
Top Flat chick is 217 days old today. Last week he weighed 10.6kg which was a big jump up from recent low weights and some supplementary feeding. He has been fed frequently over the last week. Average weight is 10.9 kg and lowest acceptable weight is just under 9kg.
(https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9a4f87fb5981746412e75a3d3d4c27da271570b56313f23ecdd7512d3584274e.jpg?w=800&h=475)


Top Flat Track chick is 209 days and last week he weighed 9.6 kg. Although this was a bit of a drop from the good steady weights that he had been maintaining he is still within the acceptable weight range. Average weight for a male this age is 11.1 kg with the lowest acceptable weight being just over 9 kg. He has been fed at least 5 times over the last week.

Note that we are not always able to keep the cam on Top Flat Track chick as he is often too far from Top Flat chick for the cam to be able to include both on screen. We will pan over to Top Flat Track chick at least daily and try to keep both chicks on cam when we can.

TFT chick on left - TF chick on right (standing) very handsome boys! Soon they will be leaving for their great adventure across the seas  :-*

And, if everything isn't chaotic enough:

USI fiber is at this very moment drilling right under my arbor line tree roots...I went out and spoke with the nice guy. Not is decision of course.
They are 3 feet 7 inches below them. I literally felt the ground move while standing out there.

I told him if they die they will be paying to replace mature ones.

Only because city of Richfield decided it was a good idea to replace all gas lines from the street to our boulevards.

If they had left them in the street and replaced. Both At and T and now USI could have drilled closer to the curb. He said they have to go so far into our yards to avoid the gas lines....well, that's a good idea but still.

I need a drink and it's only 11:19

Lani, thanks!  :)  Great report, and I love these pics! It looks like Antali is taking after his dad, Finn, with those light chest feathers! I haven't said this here before, but I have the belief that Iris laid her 2nd egg very soon after copulating with Finn (which hatched to be Sum-eh),and after Finn got rid of her 1st egg this year, which Finn knew couldn't be from him, and I believe that Sum-eh is actually hatched from an egg fertilized by Louis, not Finn, though Finn doesn't know it, and there's no proof. (As we know, Osprey have the ability to store sperm for many days before it may fertilize an egg.) And I think that's why the longer-than-usual number of days between that egg being laid, and Iris's 3rd egg being laid this year, which hatched to be Antali, of course. What a great Osprey year it has been at the Hellgate nest this year!  :-* :-* :-*

Baz, Regarding Sum-eh I've had the same thoughts. The 2nd egg was two days after the first one that Finn kicked out. I felt it was Louis's too... there is 5 days between 2nd and 3rd (Antali)

8/27 Sum-eh is 76 days old and Antali is 71 days old.
Sum-eh fledged on Aug. 5th and has been flying for 22 days.
Antali fledged on Aug. 14th and has been flying for 13 days.

PHYL   Actually Lulu stayed away from Tim for two days - hospital smell??  cane/walker?  She's back to normal now with him  LOL  Tuesday's Tranquility  :)    Thanks for posting Amy's blog - Now I have a much better understanding of how that "basket" was made. I"m not sure that is how they built the one at N2?   Also thanks for the additional Nat'l Parks  Had always thought Indiana Dunes was a State park..    365  Now we see the bison

tsk - he's been up and running with PT for the summer....his therapist after next week's PT is going to Peru for vaca.....she hasn't scheduled him for any more after yet.

So, not sure, but next week might be it....her schedule is now truncated so he's only been going once a week or every 2 weeks. I'm grateful for that but I'm concerned she's on her way out....she's the only hip specialist we would go to or are referred to at this clinic.

Lisa - me too. My house would not be saleable at the normal price without them. I bought this house with them as they provide cover from viewing the parking lot across the street. I wouldn't have bought my house without them. They sure have taken a beating the last few years.

The supervisor knocked on my door after I spoke nicely to the worker bee. It started out bad. He stated they had the right of way bla bla bla. That set me off. By the end we were on good terms. Spoke personally about what a bad decision the city made to put gas lines in our boulevards making all the internet fiber companies drill way into peoples yards...He agreed and we were very friendly by the end. I suggested to him he not start out his conversation with me that he was here to discuss my complaint. It absolutely was not and the worker bee agreed. Covering their ashes I guess. Not a good way to start but ended well.

At the end of the day, if they die, I know they won't do a darn thing. And, i will be on the hook.

Crossing my fingers.

All so we can all have the latest and greatest ya know!

The Towers don't show up anymore cause of the humans on their perch.

I was a might bit confused and turned around for 10 days but I ain't never been really lost.

In order to get truly lost entails not being anywhere, I haven't been able to re-create that.

If your somewhere then you just don't know where you are at the present time.

Solid if you trust me.

With that Anker power brick U now got.

Past 15 years both Brands never played badly or let us puzzle down.  ;)

Our power goes out like people that keep hitting the free ranging telephone poles

BL, LOLOLOL on free-range telephone poles!!  I confess... Once, about 42 years ago, one of them suddenly jumped out from the grassy edge by the road, right in front of my right front wheel, and I managed to swerve just in the nick of time, so that I avoided a head-on collision, but did suffer a glancing blow that left only a slight abrasion on the otherwise unhurt telephone pole, and my car was the recipient of long, thin shards of splintered wood that shoved right in through the hinged-but-closed front edge of the passenger front door panel, and a few short ones lodged into my right front tire, which made for a weirdly uneven bumpy roll. I was able to pull over and mostly dislodge them enough to continue on to my morning commute to my appointed desk at work that morning!! That only happened once! As a result, I am now as alert and wary of free-range telephone poles as I am of deer in the roadside treeline at dusk and dawn.  And... I grew up riding in the back seat along my father's regular weekend and vacation road trips - long day trips, overnights, or extended getaways... He liked to take the road less traveled (and I imprinted on him, LOL). My mother famously would be overheard in the front passenger seat saying, "Bill, stop and ask for directions." After about the 3rd time she would say that, my father's reply, always, was, "I'm not lost. I just don't know where I am."  ;D ;D ;D  I loved my trips with my father, and not knowing where we were while we weren't lost. God, I miss that man.  :-*

Yup, the fair partially opened at 9.
I picked up the remaining pieces of my picket fence so it won't get damaged when they remove the huge branch. I picked up the small branches from various trees around the yard. The other neighbor across the street agreed to rake debris from our driveway. Nice of him.
Yes, the latest update for us is noon Thursday. We won't be here. !
My brother doesn't have any room for our food. SIL's mom fell and broke her femur near where it broke 6 months ago. So she is on her way out of town to be with her. And my brother is taking personal items from the small bldg. where they perform each Fall as the property owners are having some big festival and need to use the space. Good news is he needs to store the stuff in our garage so he can help us do the manual unlock. Maybe we take him to dinner if someplace is open.?

Sigh. Sorry KB...

Got to 99 today and broke the previous record of 97.  Storm heading in.  We need the rain.

Was that 99 an ORD reading or your local temp.  My town had 100 listed around 1PM.  Chgo previous official record was 97.  Haven't been on any news yet to see what they're quoting and where.

I went out at 8A to get water to birds and plants.  Also feed for birds.  It was absolutely horrid when I finished up at 10A.  I haven't even gone back out to get today's mail.  My weather site is quoting 85 for tomorrow.  I need to get that, too.  Have some "kids" doing some weeding for me.  They were saying they could come today.  That was before the temp soared.  Also rescheduled landscaping work til tomorrow; delayed from last week for trimming trees, bushes, and cutting lawn.  Again, for both I told them to come early and I wouldn't mind.  I suggested Thursday but neither group could make it.

Well - let's see what we have in store for tonight.  The warnings keep being posted.

2. 50" of rain in my back yard in a pretty tough thunderstorm last night. Cooler but very humid.  Lots of litter to clean up in the yard.

Phyl, sounds like we are all in for a hot day today! Only 90 for us, 93 tomorrow, cooldown starts Friday, 81 !  Hope you had a wonderful birthday! Love your pictures this morning, those would make great puzzles! I have a lot of puzzles on Jigsaw Planet.

Lani, thanks for the wonderful video of M15 and F23 both landing in the nest! With 4 months (?) to go until eggs, it's good to see them spending some time at home!!Love the laughing good night dog! Wonder what he is laughing at! I also think Sum-eh is most likely Louis's, but Finn sure did a wonderful job of adopting him!

oldguy, don't know if we got any rain during the night, I'll have to ask Ed, he always knows! Thanks for the Simon & Garfunkel videos, they have always been among my favorites... We never heard much about their families back when, they always seemed like two single guys!  Sounds like their kids inherited their musical traits! Stunning lava waterfallls in Iceland!  Wow!

baz, love hearing about your Dad and his love of wandering the country! My Dad was like that and sometimes I feel it too! I have taken off in a direction I have never been just to see what's there. Mom loves to go on drives too, we have been all over Southern Illinois! Many Sunday afternoons of my childhood 'going for a drive'.

tsk, hope Tim is even better today! I don't think it matters to Claire how much she spends on her cats!  ::) I found this on the web:

Claire Luvcat, known for her popular YouTube channel featuring her cats, has an estimated net worth of around $5.6 million. Her annual income is estimated to be approximately $1.6 million.

Pictures of the flowers in my front garden!

kb - I would say so that the fair wasn't ok, but I give them a "10" on the belly flop!  ;D

baz - Love the story from last night, sweet memories and glad you were not hurt by the telephone pole.  Cute lil bird with it's party hat on for Phyl. 

tig - Glad you were able to open the garage.  Hope all goes well before you leave.

tsk - Oh wow, you did get some rain.   I hope we get some after the few hot days we have had.  They say today it is supposed be in the 100's.

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.

Lani - Thanks for the SWFL update. Good to see M15 & F23!

Phyl - Love your colorful artwork this morning.

clynn - Love your pretty flowers, and also your pretty morning pics.

I saw that this morning, too, that was 99 at ORD officially.   I get my Wunderground actually for Darien.
 They have a local setup about 1 1/2 miles away at a firestation.  Ours  yesterday ws 100, unofficially.

But how about that action last night.  I can honestly say I've never in all my years been through an entire hour of that electric (?) storm.  More or less normal on rain, but the light show was fantastic.  It wasn't even loud (thunder) or bolts of lightning.  Just an all over stage show.  What was strange was that I saw nothing to the north or east skies.  Opened the drapes to watch from the comfort of bed - fell asleep.  Had to be an hour or so +plus.   

Yard duty should be better today.  First group coming at 8 (?)   I'll check the gauge when I go out.  I'll check back in later.

Thanks, BL...that's really cool....I didn't see it as I was in the basement "hiding"...

CLYNN   WOW WOW  I guess Claire can do just about anything she wants!!!  Thanks for that info.  Beautiful front garden.  Love the walkway.  :)  Tim had his staples out today.  :)  Will take himself on a couple errands this afternoon.

PUFF  I think ORD and my backyard were at the north edge of the storm as I noticed on the news crawl that the cities involved were all south of me/ORD.   Tim's bedroom  windows face E -W -and north - He said the "light show" was amazing.  I was sound asleep  LOL

KB  That bat video was amazing!  Nice to know the person handling the baby knew what they were doing.

PUFF  After listening to the weather tonight almost all of Chicagoland was involved in that storm.  9,000 still without power.  ORD wind gust 59 mph but was not the greatest.  Up to 80 mph in some areas.

LANI   There have been an awful lot of bears just in the years we've been watching. So many return within viewing. Couldn't agree more about the fall and things slowing down some.    LOLOL on the secret handshake.  Perfect caption.  :D

Hello Beakers

I was going to update my post last night after the rain, but my internet went down... :P  It was back by morning... :D  We got .56 in of rain.  The temps got down to 70 by morning, but the dew point was 68 - it made it to 89 by 3pm and dew point of 74 - so still very sticky.  Still much better than the last 2 days.  Got my lawn mowed this evening after the sun got behind the trees.
Forecast is back to 90 and storms for tomorrow after 3pm.

Interesting read last night on the children of Simon & Garfunkel - 4 for Simon (Harper, Adrian, Lulu and Gabriel) and 2 for Garfunkel (James/Art Jr. (born 1990) and Beau Daniel 2005) - all 6 are involved in music careers.  Art Jr made it big singing his dad's music in Germany.

This is from 5 years ago - from the comments - "They aren't trying to outplay each other. They're trying to see whose brain catches on fire first."

We had a wonderful time together today at the State Fair.
But the latest estimate for power says tomorrow at 3 p.m. I will toss some food in the morning before we leave. Bro will check the thermostat and garage door function once power is restored. When we return I'll toss more food as necessary. Sigh.

Currently: 72F sunny , High  100F sunny,  with  Low 72F

Hope everyone had a pleasant evening and a good night's rest.

My appt with Dr. Martin,  whose an MD, DO and her staff went extreme well. New x-rays were taken and Amy, doc's PA went over them thoroughly.
She explained no surgery was needed at this time. Which thrilled me to no end.   ;D  I say---Leave my knees alone. LOL
But, injections resumed   ;D  while Doc got  insurance approval on the Hyaluronic Acid keen gel .  So, I'' be getting this
As for the cortisone,  well she said steroids were simulants and I'd be up for a longtime to night and to keep busy.   So, here I am. LOL

secured with one of those long narrow flat metal barrettes .
My mother made all my clothes while I was growing up.  Then I took over. She usually used 'Simplicty' or 'Butterick'.
Only on rare occasion did she  or I use 'McCall's .
LOL---now I have bangs and shoulder length silver streaked hair.







Thursday’s Thunder
The storm begins, with rumblings loud
As Thursday’s tempest, our hearts and souls avow
The world’s a vessel, tossed by turbulent seas
As we ride the waves, of life’s unpredictable breeze

The lightning flashes, a moment’s glare
As Thursday’s power, our souls and hearts do share
The storm subsides, with a gentle rain
As Thursday’s lessons, our hearts and minds do sustain

Phyl, you're up early too, or did you ever go to sleep? A nap will be in order later today... Sounds like your Dr. is taking good care of you, sounds like she is very thorough and really cares. Very interesting 365, peaceful sounds. Was that a herd of wild boars?  :o  Love your vintage sewing patterns! Empire waists, puffy sleeves! I can definitely picture you in that dress! I bet I have sewn a million miles in my lifetime! My Mom also made all of our clothes when Cathy and I were youngsters. The school I attended in AZ had Home Economics starting in 7th grade, that's when I took over making my own dresses! We all wore dresses back then, no slacks allowed for girls! Then I took Home Ec all four years of HS. Do you remember the tent dress from the mid 1960s? One could whip up one of those in an hour! When we got the kids I was really into Daisy Kingdon patterns for Kelsey, the picture is one of the years I made them coordinating Christmas outfits.

Lani, has Mike had to travel lately? I hope he is doing well, looking forward to retirement I bet... Hugs to the Furkids! Thanks for the beautiful pictures of the bears at Anan Wildlife, the cubs and the handshake is so sweet! And Lily and her 4 CUBS! I bet it was very noisy in the den when all four were hungry!

tsk, staples out, that is good and almost back to normal for Tim! I need to make an appointment for some minor foot surgery, just dreading it so keep putting it off... We got nothing from that storm that hit you, but we are supposed to get some rain tonight. And that will start the cool down. 92 today, 81 high tomorrow with showers in the morning. I am ready for Fall (but not for winter!!).

oldguy, thanks for the info on Simon and Garfunkel's children!

I grew up in Minnesota · Lopez Barcelona - Snowy Split Rock Lighthouse seen from a plane
Capturing this image was an incredible experience. I was in a single engine Cessna flying up and down the North Shore to experience its incredible sights from a unique vantage point. To get this specific photo, I had the window of the plane open while we were going 100+ mph as I fired off a volley of images as we circled the historic lighthouse. Split Rock Lighthouse. Two Harbors, MN

Clynn  I'm sure there are not too many of us on line this a.m. who have ever even heard of Two Harbors. 

I've mentioned before I'm sure, I once was married in Two Harbors.  December 29, 1965.  He was stationed nearby in AFB.  Drove into Canada for a scenic afternoon.  Car accident, 1 week in hospital before I was released to fly.  VW wagon was totaled on bunch of wild dogs.  I'll not go back in to that.  Beautiful area to ride through, though.

clynn - Love the pic of Erin & Kelsey, so cute!  My mama use to sew our clothes too.  Cool view of the Snowy Split Rock Lighthouse.  When I first looked at the pic before reading the info, it reminded me of a lighthouse that my mama had at her house.  I took a few of them back home with me in May when she passed, and my brother kept a few.  My mom and Dad both collected lighthouses.

Ha ha on me!....hired an electrician and once he got here and we moved the christmas tree out of the way, the reset button was already fine!....
Had him put in a new one just for shiz and giggles...

It is old....the others were/are fine too....also had him check the voltage on my electric box...Chris found a "possible" recall on it and Siemes said they'd pay to have it inspected and put a sticker on it. He's not an inspector but checked it and it's fine so who knows. When I bought the house it was supposedly inspected and it's not been a fire hazard for now 36 years...only need a sticker now if I wanted to sell the house.

Silly me.

Getting ready for storms and mowing the back....later and have a great day

On the Hellgate Osprey Cam, Iris and Finnegan continue to supplement their fledglings with food as they hone their flight and fishing skills. Over the past few weeks, the nest site has proven to be a popular drop zone for these supplementary fish deliveries, and the fledglings know it!

In this clip, Sum-eh outcompetes the younger Antali for the rights to an incoming fish, but the hand-off goes awry. Minutes later, the siblings scramble in a flurry of feathers to claim a second fish delivery, and Sum-eh comes away with the prize.

Lisa, Love your mom's Lighthouse. I love collections such as yours, that one is timeless and could be set out on a shelf year round. Especially since you live in Maryland. In another three weeks or so, I'll set up my Fall/Halloween set.

Tsk, I hope Tim is doing well.  :)

{{{Puff}}} terrible start to your honeymoon.  :(

Kb, glad all has been checked out and well.  :)

Clynn, one of my favorite photos of Kelsey and Erin you have shared with us.... no, Mike has not had to travel, he will be doing that in September. And he's not retiring this next year as planned, there have been changes... so..... pretty pic of the Llighthouse, Two Harbors, MN., through your dad's years in the service, you've lived in many interesting places.

{{Phyl}}} good news for you with the dr. Prayers for continued healing and comfort with her suggestions for your care.... thanks for nature video, beautiful late summer night critters (looks like wild boars or javalenas to me)... I sewed a few Simplicity patterns for school. I had my favorite Clynn's 7584 would have been most common for school in the late 60's in Hawaii, going towards the sleeveless dresses.


8/27 Beginning on 8/5, the day Sum-eh fledged, Finnegan has brought in 76 fish/partial fish.
Iris has brought in 30 fish/partial fish.
Hardworking Mom and Dad!

LISA   Interesting lighthouse collection.  Find it fascinating how people choose what they will collect and how it has special meaning  ;D
Tim got staples out yesterday.  Innocently he says to doc - " I don't know how you knew how to fix this".  Doc replies - "I went to spine school"  LOLOL    He's 100% with his leg pain and 85% better with his incision healing.

KB  Isn't that always the way!!  Like CLynn's car!   Good that you got a new one tho.  Beautiful lake photo - sunset/rise?

LANI   LOLOL  That video was so funny.  You'd think they hadn't eaten in a week.  I suspect soon, Iris and Finn will not be as ready to bring food and force the kids to get their own dinner   ;D ;D  Great screen clips  Wingspan  :o   I'm still cleaning the cat litter but Tim assures me by Saturday he'll be back to his job!   ::) ::)   Oh no,  sorry to hear Mike can't retire as planned.

tig, hope you get to have a Dilly Bar at the DQ!

Lisa, that is a beautiful lighthouse that was your Mom's! Someday I will take a picture of my curio cabinet with my Siamese cat collection display! And the 3 curio cabinets with my English teacups and other delicate items. Then there is my Longaberger Basket collection that is all over the place. Oh Lordy, I need to pare everything down.... And Ed is worse than me...  ::) Way worse, and his collections are just jumbled everywhere, in the basement Mole Hole.

Puff, I don't recall Silver Bay, I tried to Google it and couldn't find anything. Did you maybe mean North Bay? That was a NORAD facility for North America in Canada. Then there is the NORAD Combat Operations Center at the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, Colorado.

I was a might bit confused and turned around for 10 days but I ain't never been really lost.

In order to get truly lost entails not being anywhere, I haven't been able to re-create that.

If your somewhere then you just don't know where you are at the present time.

Kb Fenix Camping Lanterns.
Solid if you trust me.

With that Anker power brick U now got.

Past 15 years both Brands never played badly or let us puzzle down.  ;)

Our power goes out like people that keep hitting the free ranging telephone poles

BL, LOLOLOL on free-range telephone poles!!  I confess... Once, about 42 years ago, one of them suddenly jumped out from the grassy edge by the road, right in front of my right front wheel, and I managed to swerve just in the nick of time, so that I avoided a head-on collision, but did suffer a glancing blow that left only a slight abrasion on the otherwise unhurt telephone pole, and my car was the recipient of long, thin shards of splintered wood that shoved right in through the hinged-but-closed front edge of the passenger front door panel, and a few short ones lodged into my right front tire, which made for a weirdly uneven bumpy roll. I was able to pull over and mostly dislodge them enough to continue on to my morning commute to my appointed desk at work that morning!! That only happened once! As a result, I am now as alert and wary of free-range telephone poles as I am of deer in the roadside treeline at dusk and dawn.  And... I grew up riding in the back seat along my father's regular weekend and vacation road trips - long day trips, overnights, or extended getaways... He liked to take the road less traveled (and I imprinted on him, LOL). My mother famously would be overheard in the front passenger seat saying, "Bill, stop and ask for directions." After about the 3rd time she would say that, my father's reply, always, was, "I'm not lost. I just don't know where I am."  ;D ;D ;D  I loved my trips with my father, and not knowing where we were while we weren't lost. God, I miss that man.  :-*

You know Baz my conveyance has never struck any fixed object (true) the mobile objects have always struck my conveyance.

Allstate  101.

Boulders, trees, hillsides, rocks, fire .. some wildlife thrashing around in the Cab with me left some scars too .. just opened the cab door and let her out.   

I've never filed ever.

Stuff just happens while you are traveling if it doesn't than you ain't doing it right.   ;)

CLynn Yes I wore a 'Tent' dress. So did Mom. Dad liked it better on Mom; cute outfits for Kelsey and Erin. All those frills for a cute
little girl and handsome vest for a  little gentleman.
No I didn't make it to bed until 5:30am. No alarm and used those sleep masks that covered one's eyes from the light. Then 'Bingo"! 8:30 am and
I woke. JIm had left very early as they called him and offered extra hours. Awesome snap of  Snowy Split Rock Lighthouse and wingspan on Antali!

Tsk cute bear this AM; Definitely will keep you abreast of the progress of the gel injections. Guessing your  Tim is still improving.
Well in the 1980's all one needed to do was produce a receipt for the purchase of the spolied food. Most folks rescued the meat and stowed in
a ice chest and the appliance was replaced in a day or so it that was even necessary.  I guarantee it's not done like that these days. ;)
LOL Tim's  conversation w/his surgeon.  ;D

Lisa latte was nice.  :)   nice lighthouse display;

Tig safe travels to you both;  relieved your bro is checking on the house and all. The first Dairy Queen-- :o.  Never had a 'Dilly Bar'.  :(

Lani  tks for the Osprey Hellgate update & snaps. You are dedicated nest watcher.
I just wish the Sauces and Two Harbors nest would snap out to their decline.
I very often wonder about Sauces' Dina who was banded and fledged May 2023. She was a big girl and rivaled her mama.

BL  Just got this info from one of the Aus/NZ reps last month. Chad Croft Mgr. Tangalooma Island Resort.  Kinda like getting attached to our eaglets.  Graciously mom and baby have accepted the visitors of their waters.  He said he hadn't processed something he would share when he did.  Graciously he did this.  Swimmers on the beach are thrilled and being very protective of the pair.

Yep, TSK, that is why I placed oldest in quotes.  ;D  This is the one a couple of miles from us: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/food/minnesota/oldest-operating-iconic-restaurant-state
And, no, Mr. "I was raised on Dilly Bars" decided to have a Blizzard. I detest Dillys. I had a marshmallow/hot fudge sundae.

Here are a few pics Camper and I took of the storm damage/results on Tuesday:
  The umbrella was fine but the green bench was thrown across to the fence
  The city tree across the street from our driveway lost a large branch
     another view... and another branch a few doors down blocked us in most of the day
  The famous welcome mural

Tsk, Glad to hear Tim is doing well, bless him... back to litter duty on Saturday, Lulu will be pleased. And you! LOL! ... I had to look up Dilly Bar never had one or heard of it, even though I've been to DQ, it's like an Eskimo ice cream bar.


Clynn, Dr. Greene has been closely watching the Iris/Finn and kids down by the river every day. He's like us, we're so happy for Iris, he wants to take in every moment. I bet he wishes he would have banded her chicks this year. But, he has a good ID on each. I can tell them apart too.... Love "Unstoppable You (FB) - Heavens to Mergatroyd!" Many great expressions   ;D

BL, thanks for Yusuf/Cat Stevens  :)

Phyl, I pray for a good season for Sauces and Two Harbors too. What a beautiful and devoted pair of eagles to their nests, like Big Bear. I wish the snow would ease up for that beautiful pair too.... Tent dresses were easy/quick to sew and comfy for school. Especially when wearing bikini so it's easy to go to the beach after school.  ;D

Lani, love hearing that Dr. Greene is as 'over the moon' for Iris and Finn as we are, especially after the years of anguish and sadness that we have had! Looks like Antali has a nice, full crop! The fish have been so plentiful I am surprised and so proud of Iris and Finn!

Phyl, very interesting about women and pants! I graduated in 1970 and it was still the rule, no pants for girls. The requirement was deleted starting the 70/71 school year. When I started working at the bank in 1983 women could not wear pants to work, and hose were required. Then they finally allowed pantsuits for women a couple of years later! And a female would never wear pants to church! The 365, I was watching that one ant walking about, then finally the turtle's head rose! 69 here now, high 81 today. It rained a lot during the night and has cooled us down!

tsk, there just are not enough Dairy Queens and Baskin Robbins around! I worked at the Dairy Del in Albion when I was a senior in HS, it was like a DQ, every little town had a Dairy Queen-like store!

American Eagle Foundation - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tecumseh, our 44-year-old golden eagle. The difficult decision was made to humanely euthanize him after his quality of life declined.
 
Tecumseh hatched at the Topeka Zoo in Kansas and was shortly thereafter transferred to the Akron Zoo in Ohio. In 1995, Tecumseh’s life took a transformative turn when he was sent to American Eagle Foundation. Here, Tecumseh quickly became a star of the Wings of America Birds of Prey Show at Dollywood Theme Park, captivating audiences with his majestic presence and teaching millions about the importance of conservation.

Tecumseh’s legacy is one of inspiration. Like the great Shawnee leader for whom he was named, Tecumseh was a symbol of courage and strength, embodying the indomitable spirit of both golden eagles and the historic Chief and orator. Tecumseh routinely reminded us that conservation is a unifying goal.
American Eagle Foundation will forever remember Tecumseh’s incredible journey and profound impact. His legacy lives on in the hearts of our staff and our community, all of whom were inspired by his work as an educational ambassador.

Yes, damage from Tuesday storm. Not sure yet if we sustained more damage yesterday. We lost 2 large branches from  our evergreens... 1 in back, 1 in front. Plus a half dozen small ones. Something I have not seen before... I found several sprout stems scattered in the yard from my grandparent's roses. The directions items scattered... there was a lot of swirling in the wind.

'Pond turtle or alien?' I thought so too.

CLynn  'Right on" w/ colored hands/arms. 
It was about 1972 when we got to wear slacks in the winter as the wind blew so and it was like icy pricks to the bare legs.
My mothers way around all that was 'Tights"  or colored panty hose. I was unique.  ;)
The huge deal was shorts about May-June and later if one was in summer school. The desert gets hot and hotter and the shorts were
hard fought...just 3" above the knee. When we wore dresses had to have panty hose on our legs. However, that later changed too.  ;D ;D

Lani, here we are, September already, time flies by so quickly! The weather will start cooling down this month... I love Autumn but not so much what follows. We will wait for Spring and another year will be rushing by. Hope all is well in your home!

BL, good music! You sure do get around!

tsk, I also have the National Parks Pass but have not used it yet!

Lisa, my Siamese cats Max and Emma (before Harley and Honey) did not tear up things like furniture and blinds. But Harley is something else!  And I think he is teaching Sam and Sophie how to get into mischief!

Phyl, great cat funnies! How is Ms. Maggie doing these days?

Phyl, Puff, Harley, doing his Bob impression!

oldguy, thanks for the heads up on Ginger Cat Appreciation Day!

Here are some more interesting facts about ginger cats:
80% of all ginger cats are males!
They are often seen as very affectionate, clingy, and loving
Ginger cats have “freckles” around their noses and muzzles
All ginger cats are tabbies!

A few more pics of Harley... to celebrate today!

The Beautiful Changes

By Richard Wilbur
One wading a Fall meadow finds on all sides   
The Queen Anne’s Lace lying like lilies
On water; it glides
So from the walker, it turns
Dry grass to a lake, as the slightest shade of you   
Valleys my mind in fabulous blue Lucernes.

The beautiful changes as a forest is changed   
By a chameleon’s tuning his skin to it;   
As a mantis, arranged
On a green leaf, grows
Into it, makes the leaf leafier, and proves   
Any greenness is deeper than anyone knows.

Your hands hold roses always in a way that says   
They are not only yours; the beautiful changes   
In such kind ways,   
Wishing ever to sunder
Things and things’ selves for a second finding, to lose   
For a moment all that it touches back to wonder.

Phyl, great morning pictures! I love fall! Beautiful poem for today! Chipmunks! We have a couple of resident families here, along with the squirrels! Both are well at home with the bird feeders! That and the birds are my 'Cat TV'!

tsk, what a sweet video from jaspurr! I was hoping mama duck would go after the one that went over, she was just waiting to see if he was safe. Amazing how quickly they all got together after the jump! I wonder how someone would be there at the right place and the right time to catch that on video! Amazing!

Aug 31, 2024  #royalcam #albatross #TAIAROA
TFT wanders towards TF early in the morning! The winds are favorable and the chicks are both practicing their wing exercises. TF goes to the right and out of view - TFT then will take some hops and get both paddles off the ground! Whew!! TFT will hop over TF's nest in his practice session before heading back over to his nest area.

TF will hear and see LGL arrive so he heads over to her wheeing excitingly. For the next several minutes, TF and LGL are out of cam view but we hear TF's begging wheeing and know that he is getting fed. Then LGL walks in front of the cam. She stops and sniff at TF's nest picking up his scent. TF follows her wheeing. After a few minutes, TF returns to his nest. ♥ Thank you for watching!

To portage somewhere in the north, muskie fishing!   I was about 2 and stayed with my grandmother somewhere up there where there was a lot of sand!   Later to Northern Wisconsin.   I wanted to become a nurse and work at the hospital in Phelps!  It was in a wooden house.   My mom did not think that was a good plan as she did not think I would like many aspects of nursing and also did not think I would like the winter!   Mothers are smart!

PHYL   " the BER months"  Pretty true.   Loved 365 today.  Then again I love chipmunks   ;) ;)

Dr. hall was over yesterday for a visit,  she and husband were just back from Michigan.  His daughter is a clinician at UM  so they were in Ann Arbor and then drove over to Lake Michigan and  up to Traverse City!   She enjoyed it but thought it might be a tad chilly in the winter!    They are going to Yellowstone in a month!

CLynn  Yeah---hear ya on the---squirrels and chipmunks. I must share a good portion of my Social Security with those
critters in shelled unsalted peanuts.

I remember reading that about Red Tabbies and Torties. Genetics is awesome.

Tsk We don't like movie theaters much due to the lack of manners exhibited by some patrons.
So I think we'll wait for a day Jim's off in early afternoon and go to a matinee to view 'Reagan'. Nice video from Jaspurr. Tks for sharing
Agree Chipmunks are so cute.

Hi Lisa too bad we don't have a fireplace. LOL But I do have a screen saver on the TV from Xfinity that I use during the
'Ber' months. It 's complete with the snap of buring wood and collapse of logs and sparks.  ;D

Lani tks for the Hellgate Finn/Iris and Royal  Albie updates. Great snaps too.

Hi Karen  Nice childhood memories.  Been to Yellowstone as a child on a family road vaca.  Just awesome.

The Origins of the Five‑Day Work Week in America
A 40-hour, five-day work week is now standard for full-time jobs in America, but that wasn't true until the 1930s.

Lani, beautiful pics of Antali, young ospreys are so pretty! Soon he will take off, sigh, but we will feel good about the wonderful season at Hellgate! The royal Albies are also getting prepared to take off! Sweet good night kitty, love how cats flick their ear...

Phyl, wonderful tribute to Bob, he sure got around! Even with Royalty! Lovely Good Morning picture!  59 here, high 76 today. Glad you are in touch with Jim's youngest and glad they are all doing well! 365 - wow, that Cecropia Moth is very furry and very exotic! I would never have guessed it was a moth!

tig, hope you and camper are having a good time, I bet camper is taking lots of pics!

I am going to try Zinnias and Black Eyed Susans next year! Aren't they lovely?

KAREN  How nice of DR Hall to stop for a visit.  :)  Was Piper happy?  ;) ;)

PHYL    Theaters since Covid are not like before.  We always go to a matinee.  This theater is a huge Historical landmark theater in my town that seats 1,000. ( used to have live productions - Charles Laughton, Vincent Price)  Tim's uncle used to be the manager for 25 years.  Lots of memorabilia.  Anyway - there weren't a dozen people in the theater!!  Almost like a private showing in your own home.    Cute AM pic  365 cecropia moth.  Beautiful creature close up.  Most often don't get a chance to see how amazing those tinier creatures are.

KB  Starliner - Sounds like a heartbeat to me.

CLYNN   Those giant zinnias  are great.  Had them 3 years ago around my birdbath.  Think I am going to do it again next year.  They last so long and not a lot of dead heading like required with geranium.

Well. I fixed the 'url' to  the History.com article on 'why' and 'how' we got the 5 day work week.  ;)

Jimmy works today--- ::) It's just my 'little old lady' kitty and me this AM LOL

Hi CLynn   what a festive pie for today  ;) . Nice 'Labor Day's  for today;  I like your Zinnias and Black Eyed Susans . I remember  Mom had Zinnias in the back.  Your flower gardens are always so nice.Tig's and Tsk's, too.  For shame on me I just don't 'garden' .  >:( 

Tsk that's good to know about the movie theaters nowadays . We've been out of touch with the theaters long before CoVid took hold.
Very nice Labor Day greetings.  I fear it might take me a bit to 'get with the program'  this  season. LOL  And,
then I'll hang on long past festivities .  :(

For the Chipmunk in My Yard
By Robert Gibb

I think he knows I’m alive, having come down
The three steps of the back porch
And given me a good once over. All afternoon
He’s been moving back and forth,
Gathering odd bits of walnut shells and twigs,
While all about him the great fields tumble
To the blades of the thresher. He’s lucky
To be where he is, wild with all that happens.
He’s lucky he’s not one of the shadows
Living in the blond heart of the wheat.
This autumn when trees bolt, dark with the fires
Of starlight, he’ll curl among their roots,
Wanting nothing but the slow burn of matter
On which he fastens like a small, brown flame.

Lani - Thanks for the Hellgate pic yesterday, and for the Royal updates. 

tig - Glad that you all were able to listen to your church service while driving along. 

karen - Sounds like a nice visit from Dr. Hall to catch up. 

Phyl - No fireplace at my house either, although I do have a chimney & mantle as the house once had wood stove.  When I moved here, I told Jeff to get rid of it, as Bradley was young and I could see him trying to open it and roast marshmallows in it, or worse...burning the house down! Pretty morning pic.  Thanks for the 365, pretty moth.

kb - Keep us posted if you find out why they are hearing strange noises from the Starliner.  :)

clynn - The Zinnias and Black Eyed Susan's are lovely!

Yes, Piper was more than thrilled to see her best friend, Dr. Hall!   She bent her body into shoes I would not think possible!  Wagged her tail and tgey played on the floor!
  After. While she came over to me like can ignore you?    I said, go play!   So funny.
Zinnias are the best!  May look for a place to plant them next year!   Years ago a friend and I would go to the farmers market in Alexandria, Va early.Saturday morning for fresh veggies and  zinnias!  They last so long!

A  l o n g  day, but beautiful. I drove the Beartooth Highway and Camper wore himself out getting out and back in the car to take pics.
We found our cabin for the next 3 nights and now we are enjoying a burger and malt at a local 50s place.

So far, we have seen hundreds of bison, some elk, 3 deer, a couple of hawks that tried to hit us, and a chipmunk 🐿️ .

End of Summer

By Stanley Kunitz
An agitation of the air,
A perturbation of the light
Admonished me the unloved year
Would turn on its hinge that night.
 
I stood in the disenchanted field
Amid the stubble and the stones,
Amazed, while a small worm lisped to me
The song of my marrow-bones.
 
Blue poured into summer blue,
A hawk broke from his cloudless tower,
The roof of the silo blazed, and I knew
That part of my life was over.
 
Already the iron door of the north
Clangs open: birds, leaves, snows
Order their populations forth,
And a cruel wind blows.

Here you go: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=good%20morning%20starshine&mid=3BD426050557D1113B0A3BD426050557D1113B0A&ajaxhist=0   55 here, high 80 today, nice! Cute Stone-Curlew, I looked it up, says about the size of a crow! Another lovely poem...

Lani, pretty sunset picture, I would love to have a view like that! Last year I bought Ed a raised bed kit, I think I'll get him to set it up in the spring and fill it with flowers! I do have a good space in the back yard that gets sun ever since we had the dead ash tree cut down!

tig, sounds like you and camper are seeing a lot of cool stuff! Hope he doesn't wear his camera out!  ;D

tsk, wow, you are moving up! 8 to 24!  I have iPhone 13, they are on 15 now. Also things I will never use. Sometimes a bit too complicated. There are even a couple of things on my car that I don't know what they are for! Just read your morning text, oh I know those tribulations of the passwords. I have a spreadsheet. And I know that is not wise but...I hate deleting cookies on my pc because I have to sign into everything again...  I have had to Google many things, like how to turn the darn flashlight off when I somehow accidently turn it on! How did we live without Google?

BL, did y'all kill the keg?

karen, glad to hear Piper got to visit with Dr. Hall!

Lisa, we have a fireplace, we used it once or twice when we first bought the house in 1996!  Haven't used it since then. It's like the grill, I don't know how to turn it on/off!  ;D ;D Any new pictures of Sydney?

Explore Arizona - 3000 feet below the south rim of Grand Canyon lies Havasupai gardens, formally Indian Gardens. It was originally named Ha'a Gyoh and was utilized for thousands of years by native Americans. A lush oasis of shade and spring fed water in the vast exposed canyon. In 1928 the last member of the Havasupai tribe, Captain Burro was forced to leave. Thereafter it was known as Indian gardens. In 2022 the national parks as requested by the Havasupai tribe, agreed to change the name to Havasupai gardens. Bright angel trail takes you right through this oasis in the canyon.

What a nice day here today, 61° at the moment with a high of 76°.  I turned off the AC, and opened up a few windows to let some fresh air in.

kb - Aww, the dancing babies.  Wow, the Viking is a big boat!  For some reason, I thought they were a lil smaller. 

tig - Sounds like you all are having a good time on your adventure.

Lani - Pretty good night pic.

Phyl - Pretty sunflowers this morning, and nice poem.

clynn - LOL, like the grill.  Pretty Explore Arizona pics.  No new pics.

Puff, karen, and all - Morning  :D

Royal Albatross - Weigh day update 8/2/2024

Top Flat chick is 224 days old and weighs 9.7 kg. Two weeks ago, he weighed 10.6 kg which was a big jump up from recent low weights and some supplementary feeding. He has been fed frequently over the last couple of weeks. Average weight is 9.7 kg for this age and lowest acceptable weight is 8.7 kg. Weight loss prior to fledging is normal.

https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/royal-cam/track-the-chicks-weight/

Top Flat Track chick is 216 days old and weighs 9.1 kg. Two weeks he weighed 9.6 kg. Although this was a bit of a drop from the good steady weights that he had been maintaining he is still within the acceptable weight range. Average weight for a male this age is just under 10 kg with the lowest acceptable weight being just over 9 kg. He has been fed regularly over the last two weeks.

Note that we are not always able to keep the cam on Top Flat Track chick as he is often too far from Top Flat chick for the cam to be able to include both on screen. We will pan over to Top Flat Track chick at least daily and try to keep both chicks on cam when we can.

Now that it is September, the older, more developed chicks and those that have had a lot of time in the air, or just encounter the ideal conditions at the right time are ready to fledge.

Royal Albatross ~ Royalcam Chick TF Has A Meet & Greet With a New Neighboring Chick! 💕💞 💕 9.3.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6mxoVR921o&t=5s

Sep 3, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
One of the neighboring albie chicks comes into view and paddles towards TF for the first time! He sees this neighbor chick and being true to form, he clacks and defends his nest and territory. The visitor clacks back for a short time but then they both reach an impasse and stand off. TF will walk away towards the left and the visitor will follow him. TF will clack at this neighbor and pull up some of the grass marking his territory. The visitor was very calm and simply curious with meeting TF.  After a few minutes, the visitor will proceed down the hill to its nest.

I am not sure which chick this it, but ranger Sharyn might weigh in on which nest it is from. Immediately below the hill we have Quarry Track and Upper Quarry Track and to the right South Plateau. Since LGK fed TF at South Plateau I am assuming that there is no nest and chick there this season. Manaaki was there last season! Thank you for watching!

CLynn As you know-- Oliver's 'Good Morning Starshine" was released in 1969. I was in the 8th grade . As an avid American Bandstand viewer  it becamea favorite  of mine. And all that year I sang this song getting ready for school walking to and from school, doing chores etc. Remember that 'La' that was held for a 'whole note' (4 beats)  at song's beginning. ..Left me breathless. LOL   Tks for the video link. Song's in my head, again. ;D
Awesome  Explore Arizona snaps. Luv all the 'green' ...gonna be scarce soon enough.

Lani tks for the Royal Albie update and snaps. TF and TFT a pair that's doing well. Regardless of TFT's slight drop in  weight .

KB  enjoyed  the dancing babies video.  Tks.  ;)

Lisa, Karen, Puff,  'the fellas' and all :)

I've been keeping eyes on Newman.  Usual routine is to show up around 6 to 7, closer to 7-730 now that the sun comes up later.  He perches about hour and half then takes off.  I noticed that he comes to nest and leaves from the lower right side of the screen.  Do we know of any hangout  that he has in that direction?  Only once, about a week ago, his partner U/09 (?) came to share the view.  I haven't seen her since.  Even Newman's didn't come around on Sunday.  So I thought to myself - ooops he's taking a migration break.  But then he came yesterday and today.  Yesterday he was here about 6:45, left at 7:15, but then returned about 9:30.  Had something to do, didn't see when he left for the afternoon.  Also, this morning he first went inside the nestbox to check out things out then down to his perch.  When I got back a short while ago of course he was gone.

clynn  Love the tree house - or is that a house tree.  Someone with time and imagination set that up so sweetly.

Morning back to Lori and Lisa and tsk, too.

Be back later.

Howdy (((Beakers)))  :)

I was out of town over the Labor Day weekend and didn't get home till late yesterday. I've missed several days of posts, so I will be replying to "old" posts as I go through them from oldest to most recent, donchaknow...  ;)  It might take me a day or 2 to catch up... Had a nice visit with my lifelong closest friend (from childhood, throughout!) in the greater Atlanta area. Got to catch up with her whole family, including her granddaughter, who graduated from college this past spring and is moving to Australia in a week. So glad I could see her before she leaves!  :)

So... bear with me as I catch up on everyone's news, please.  :)

Busy day here today  sigh.

PHYL  I an Android phone person   ;D- My Merlin recordings did not transfer over from the old phone.  When I go to see him at the store to turn in my phone I'll see what he can do . Loved the nonsense lyrics in Starshine  ;D ;D    Great screen shot of falcon nest box.

CLYNN   someone is very creative with miniatures.  :o   Well the ultimate happened as I'm still setting up my phone today - I accidentally locked my screen which I never do.   So had to Youtube to see how to delete it   ::) ::)   Great canyon pics.  One of my friends without much walking experience did the hike down and stayed the night and hiked up the next day.  She made it!!

BAZI   Such a treasured time to spend with an old friend and family.  The older we all get we value so much those times together.

LISA   Spent so much time today signing back in to many of my apps and finding the passwords for them  :P  So time consuming.  It's been beautiful here the past couple days with low humidity and down in the 50's at night from low 70s day time.  Are you still hearing from Peeps?  Peeps if you are perching - please jump in!!!  Thanks for the gorilla naming post.  ;D

TIG   No guardrails - I cringed  :o :o :o :-\ ???

LANI   Looks like TF and neighboring chick had a darn good conversation  ;) :D

Tsk my Samsung is an android too. My provider is  AT & T.   ::)  I hope you can get some help w/ your device.  When  I replaced my Motorola X with the Samsung the AT&T fellas w ere useless. Lani had told me about the Geek Squad. So I got a contract with them. The folks there are a
Godsend.  Any way, the guy came to the house and did as I asked---to transfer my photos and such over to my desktop. He put them in a desktop folder for me. Good thing too, as the battery in Mr. Moto is failing big time and won't function. The originals are locked in 'cyberspace'  . LOL

Bazi  :)

Tig Your comment on your day's drive reminded me--- we had a mountain road  in Cali called 'The Palms to Pines Hwy'. If memory serves---It runs from Palm Spgs. up to Idylwild. The  road was windy and no guard rails. Just a single road with just enough room for two vehicles to pass.  One knew not to drive a VW on that during a the 60 mph winds common to the desert/high desert.  :o
Do take care and glad you tow are having fun vaca.

Went to the podiatrist for a nail trim and when I got home got a call saying the generator company would be coming today to place the  propane tank!
Have to call in the am for a   gas delivery.    Thursday is the generator install.   Will be without power for 4-5 hours that day.    I think this is my insurance  against Hurricane s.
Geek squad is great.
Good to hear from Peep even if second hand! daring
 Baby girl!   Thanks Lisa!

Phyl, lovely sunflower pic to start the day! Cute new bird I've never heard of "Stone-Curlew" .. {{{Newman}}} devoted to his nest and territory.  :-* .. glad Geek Squad helped. We use them through Best Buy in Scottsdale.... yes, thank goodness for Youtube.

Tsk, I hope you're able to get your recordings back on your new phone... I wish apps didn't need passwords. I have to write it down if I can't save it on google. LOL! It is fun to have a new toy to play with. But, I don't use half the apps on my iphone. Just use the basics.... It was a cute video of TF and nearby chick.  :-*

Clynn, love this morning pics... Great idea to plant zinnias and Black-eyed Susans in Ed's raised bed kit..... stunning AZ pics. We've never been there. OOPS, just found your email in my spam box.  :-*

Lisa awww, love the mama gorilla with new baby. I hope all goes well for the new zoo family member.  :-* ... Peeps sent me the video too. It's always good to hear from Peeps and Jaspurr.

Puff, thanks for observation of Newman. He's very devoted to his nest box and territory. I pray he finds a permanent mate next year.

{{{Baz}}} Never worry, take all the time you need and enjoy. Sounds like you had a lovely weekend visit, TLC time with special.  friends is always good for the soul.

Tig, No guardrails, YIKES! I bet you got great pics though. Sleep well tonight.

Karen, glad to see your new generator will be installed this week!  ;D

Phyl, great good morning pic! Cool 365, very handsome black woodpecker, have never heard of a black one! He has a nice home in that tree! 56 here, high 84 today. It's been so nice these last several days...  Thanks for Shep's views of Newman! My Dad told me one time long ago when we lived in NM, Grandma had come out on the train when Becky was born, and she rode back with us to Illinois. Dad said she had both hands on the locked door handle when they were going through the mountain passes. Eyes closed.

Lani, thanks for the Albie updates, they will be gone soon...we will miss them! Love watching them grow up! And there's Antali, so sweet! And a reminder, never give up hope! There are so many absolutely gorgeous and interesting places in these United States!  I love posting them!

tig, wow! The weather is quite different out that way. One year Ed and I drove to Portland, the middle of June. Camped one night in Yellowstone, thick frost on everything in the morning! I bet camper sees a picture everywhere!

tsk, sounds like you are having a great time exploring your new phone!  ;D  Years ago when Ed and I were visiting Becky & Jennifer we decided to go see Mt. St Helen. This was just a few years after the volcano erupted. It was spooky, cold. raining (it was the middle of summer) and we found ourselves on a narrow, winding road in the mountain. No guard rails there either. We saw a sign that said to watch out for logging trucks. Oh my! Scared me to death that we were going to meet one of those trucks! But we didn't. Scariest ride I have ever been on!

baz, good to see you again! Hope you had a good time! It takes time to catch up! Hope to see you today!

It's barely large enough to seat three people, but for nearly 50 years, the BLUE MOUND WAYSIDE CHAPEL along U.S. 75, north of Luverne, MN, has provided a sanctuary for thousands of weary travelers to rest and reflect.

Alright - time for some mountain reminiscences of a mountain girl. . .

Went to Yellowstone once with Tony and two other couples.  Only one who took the donkey ride down into the canyon?  MOI  They waved goodbye to me from the rim.  Didn't do the overnight all the way at the bottom - they said they wouldn't wait that long for me.  I did get back in time for dinner.

Driving into CO with another newbie, friend, on I80 she told me to wake her when you could see the mountains.  Coming out of Nebraska I gave her a wake up nudge.  Long routine, maybe 15-20 minutes later trying to point them out.  Finally occurred to me that what she thought were clouds were actually the snow caps.   :o  Big change from the flats of NE.  She later apologized for being so "uninformed".
She was also the one, when my uncle took us out of Boulder for a trail ride in his big Buick up Flagstaff Road.  Three of us in the front seat with her leaning/pushing against me so the car wouldn't tip over, down the of the road.  It really wasn't meant for 2 CARS across.  She and her husband up until then used to brag about the Smokies.  She found out what the big Rockies' range was - said I must have thought she was dumb.  She found out!!!

Two incidents introducing Ton to the mountains. . .Taking a free offer from my brother Ed to ride back to CO in his 40-foot Winnebago.  As I recall it was through Winter Park area.  He was scared and mad at Ed for being so crazy a driver.  He sat at the lounge area at the back of the Big Bus, staring at the floor the whole time, cussing out Ed. 
Also:  the time I drove up and over the Berthoud Pass at the Continental Divide.  Not a tree (even a weed?) grows there.  He didn't even get out of the car for a potty break.  It was years later he was talking to his daughter that he told her the reason. 
His daughter, a skier used to Michigan, was telling/confessing how she froze on a downhill attempt=had to be rescued and brought down.  How embarrassing.

Professional travel advisor caution. . . If you ever go and rent a car you're offered "hail" insurance.  It's not a con most of the year.  We get downpours - they get hail storms.  You will pay if you get caught with a big bill just like that.  Spring/summer/fall   If you drive a bit through the state it is not unusual to see polka-dotted cars.

Last story - maybe not.  Took a ride with first husband during a spring break from teaching.  He had never been - learned him a bunch.   ::)  Spring break in Chgo is in April.  Again, taking a ride through the passages we got behind a bigggg plow "opening the road" before us.  Had to bide our time following until there was a turnoff in the road for the plow.  He also liked to go horseback riding in the woods around Chgo.  He found out how it works in the mountains.  You park the car, they give a few caveats, give you the horse, they tell you to be back before the sun starts setting.  Yep - totally on our own.  Sure, they have your car just in case your a rustler or for collateral.   

My grandfather worked on/helped build the Leadville Railroad.  He was only 15, he said.  I haven't made it there, yet.

OK - that's all - for now!  I love my mountains.  They do belong to me, ya know!

One other note:  for tsk I noticed a while back that your sparkle posts have not been sparkling.  Maybe you could fix your GlitterGraphics.com back to sparkle?  I like sparkles.

Mountain roads with out guardrail are scary and the places with signs warning to watch for falling rock, even worse!  Never knew if I should watch the road or the mountain side!
Clynn, sweet rest stop.

There was a new update on Pacific Coast Highway on Sunday.  It is still blocked - not by falling rock but by falling road.  Road fell into the Pacific, long drop.  Sad site.  They're now working on a plan to restore or redesign.

9/3 sunset
Iris leaves stadium lights after eating fish. These past years Iris always spends the last few days before she migrates on the stadium lights.
It is in that direction that she will leave the area when she is ready to migrate to the south. My heart is sad, but I so happy she's has mate and successful season here in Hellgate.  :-*
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GWlvUgUXMAEuxgz?format=jpg&name=large)

Yesterday, 9/3 Finnegan brings Antali a fresh whole fish. Antali takes it and then flies at 10:44 to enjoy his meal at an undisclosed location.
Iris hasn't been to the nest or feeding Antali as often as Finn. Finn will make sure Antali is fed and fishing lessons will continue. Until both leave for migration.  :-*
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GWkO2b2WUAASFP2?format=jpg&name=large)

9/4 Good Morning, #CHOWS! This capture is from 8/4, the day before Sum-eh fledged.  Sum-eh hasn't been seen since 8/30, she has migrated or is being fed elsewhere. The last time she was seen on the nest, she was wet. So, she may have been fishing for herself. Good girl!!!  :-*

{{{Phyl}}} I have fallen asleep so many times next to my keyboard too, that's why my night posts are late. When Aly lived here she would wake me, now, the cats, Sadie and I cat nap through the last two hours of the evening. LOL! I should go to bed early, but I enjoy checking out youtube, reading a book, or enjoying the last quiet hours of the day with my last cup of hot tea... Black Woodpeckers always remind me of the Catholic Cardinals, we have them here too, the male Acorn Woodpeckers.

Clynn, beautiful muted colors of Fall... love it!.. Iris has been seen on the stadium lights, you know how she loves sitting on them in late August till she migrates, which will be soon. Sum-eh hasn't been seen on the nest since 8/30. Chatters think she's migrated or is being fed elsewhere. The last time she was on the nest her body was wet. Chatters assumed she had been fishing. But, since she has been begging for fish on the nest since 8/30 she may have left the area. So, Antali has been getting fed by dad Finn often, Iris has come to the nest but not as frequent.... darling chapel.

Hi Lisa, karen,    :-*

{{{Puff}}} always enjoy your stories... I hope you get to see the Leadville Railroad. I checked their schedule, I bet it's beautiful ride in the fall.

{{{Tig and Camper}}} brrrr is right! 32 degrees... I can hardly wait for cooler temps here. It's been a lovely low 60's in the morning. Safe traveling and fun day!!  ;D

Love the chatter of the aspen leaves Lani.  And I'm thinking I could safely bet that I have the only Aspen tree in the county.  Bought it in CO and gave it a ride back in the rear seat of a Firebird (bugs and all).  That was in about 1973????.  Still with me in the back yard.  OH, also have a beautiful 30-40 foot blg CO blue spruce keeping the crimson company in the front of the house. 

Sounds like I never left my homeland.  My will specifies that part of my ashes will be scattered there.   ;D

Well today I have no ability to send or receive texts.  sigh.  Verizon is working on it since noon - Still no word.

CLYNN  Orange Wednesday  ;D  thought I might start on some fall decorations today - Haven't gotten to that yet with this stupid phone situation.  My Vancouver friend had many of her family ( from Illinois) out to visit her recently.  Attempted a trip up to Mt St Helen's - Road closed - washout I believe - and not yet repaired.  I went up with her shortly after the eruption - think it was '81?   A sight I will never see again.  The wayside chapels reminded me of a self tour of all of them up in Door county we took years ago.  Amazing!! So many and they go mostly unnoticed.

PUFF   I applaud your efforts on the donkey ride - Bet you had very sore muscles on the inside of your legs and your butt.  LOL
First time I road a horse ( in college) I couldn't go up stairs for 2 days with out considerable pain.   Loved all of your great stories  ;D ;D ;D   I'll be on the watch for more sparkles... ;) ;)    My first home with Tim we had a quaking aspen in the back yard  ;) ;)

CLynn an orange 'mood' this  AM;  Yeah some of those old roads were a 'fright'; enjoyed reading about BLUE MOUND WAYSIDE CHAPEL, thanks.
 
Puff enjoyed reading about your childhood memories; been a donkey rides as 3yr old cinched up in the saddle riding between the guide's mule and my mom's mule along the Grand Canyon rim. I clearly recall the saddle horn right under my chin. I was actually safer like that.

Karen it won't be too long andwe'll catch up or down on those temps LOL  Tks for those memories

Lani many tks for the updates on Hellgate and te snaps; kid-o's looking great.

Most don't know there are donkey rides at both north and south rims.  Easier to get a ride up north.  Their big selling point - They never lost a donkey!

Also, for those driving the USA, especially if you have no Park experience -- There are a lot of new conditions.  They're trying to preserve the atmosphere and beauty.  This can be said of the Everglades, Hawaii Pearl Harbor, Grand Cannon, Yellowstone, Denali, and parks in any direction.  Check before you plan or travel, or talk to a travel advisor.   ;)

P

PS to tsk If it makes you feel any better - I bought a fancy-dancy new phone last spring.  Used it maybe 10 times.  Worked with Samsung, Verizon, friends and neighbors.  For ATF this year, since I'm riding alone, I bought myself a usable/dependable Jitterbug.  But all the talk here makes me want to try Geek Squad.  I've used them for computer once - didn't work out too well.  I'm just a dummy with a brain block.  Had to quit and let the $$$$$$$$ phone sit on the side.

Would you believe ---- The sox won tonight (Baltimore) 8-1.  They got lucky - maybe I can get lucky.

My family camped for 2 weeks every other year, doing 5 to 6 states each time, touching foot in all 48. I toured Alaska land and cruise in 1980 and my parents took me on a 4 island trip to Hawaii when I was a freshman in college for my birthday after I recovered from cracking my back in a horseback accident.

tig, hope you and camper are having a wonderful time! The Lodge reminds me of the Timberline Lodge on Mt hood in Oregon. Very rustic and cozy! We were family campers when I was a kid also! Wonderful childhood memories!

Lani, that is truly an awesome photo of Monument Valley! Sunset and lightening and the beautiful scenery in the background! Wow! Mom and Dad also took a donkey ride down the Grand Canyon several years ago, they have certificates and pictures in the 'Desert' room, the three season room we call the CaChing (that is the sound of the cash register that kept going as they had the room built...).  I agree, Chunk is fattening up! Wonderful pics of Antali! He will be gone soon, along with Finn...this year we have some wonderful memories! So thankful.

Puff, my Mom also has the fancy phone sitting on the bookcase. I tried and tried to help her with it but to no avail. She kept getting stuck and hitting buttons by mistake. We were going to get her a Jitterbug but the cell reception where she lives is not wonderful. She is happy with her land line so we let it be... Enjoyed your stories! Ed, the crazy driver, my Ed is a crazy driver! I sometimes have to close my eyes.

tsk, oh my, you are having a time with your phone. I don't know how I would manage without Erin! Often I somehow turn the flashlight on and can't figure out how to shut it off. The little flashlight symbol is not there so it's some kind of right corner swipe. I look like I am having a fit trying to get it right! The Mt. St Helen eruption was 1980, we were there in 1983 I think, so it had healed some but was still spooky. Especially looking at Spirit Lake and all the logs still in it.

Phyl, wow, you rode down the Canyon on your own mule at 3 years old? I wonder if they still do that...

karen, high 81 here today, but heating up starting Monday, into the high 880s for several days.

Puff... We only had lunch at the cafeteria at the lodge. We stayed in West Yellowstone...
My family camped for 2 weeks every other year, doing 5 to 6 states each time, touching foot in all 48. I toured Alaska land and cruise in 1980 and my parents took me on a 4 island trip to Hawaii when I was a freshman in college for my birthday after I recovered from cracking my back in a horseback accident.

Ok... Back to sleep 💤💤💤

tig Memories.....  I stayed in West Yellowstone 1988 year of the big forest fire.  Ton and I did a winter snow machine rental for 5 days.  Cute little town then.  Lot more construction made town bigger, different.  Beautiful views/sights with the whitest of snow punctuated by black tree trunks.  Remember too the white swans in the blue waters.  They didn't seem cold.  February 14 - loved the trip.

Lani unbelievable, fantastic, non describable valley capture.  WOW

I live between a different nest and the river. At this time of year, I often see the adults and juvenile osprey circling and calling all together. I like to think of it as a sky dance - their last days all together before life sends them off on their own. ❤️

9/5 Dr. Greene has been watching for Sum-eh.
Yesterday, he saw four ospreys circling over the Hellgate nest in a tight circle. He saw Iris and Finnegan and two juveniles,
one was Antali, and the other likely to be Sum-eh. Maybe he witnessed their Sky Dance once last time! #HellgateOsprey

LISA  Took only less than an hour on the phone with Verizon( as it was a network problem not a phone problem per se.) and a tech who knew exactly what to do.  I'm good to go.  Turned out there was a glitch in the software that needed updating - He also had me update all my apps  Stayed on the phone with me til all done and everything worked.  Now tomorrow I will go to the Verizon store ( be first in line) and turn in my old phone and ask if there is any way to transfer all my bird recordings  ??? :-\

PHYL   Oh for those simpler times  LOL  thanks for the Dinah commercial

LANI   Thanks for the Fat Bear update  How do they guess the weight again?    Awww  Maybe the last sighting for Dr Greene

BAZI   Think I will have that game on tonight and get some crocheting done.  Maybe a kitty sitting on your head would make the headache go away  ;) ;)

KAREN   Did you need a new circuit breaker box as well?  Did you do "whole house" or leave some rooms out.  Is it a Generac?

Super busy day today - I'm bushed  Night all

Lani, glad to hear your Chiefs won!  I checked on Hellgate but got the spinning circle so couldn't tell if Antoli was there. Love the last family pic you posted, and love the post of Dr. Greene seeing the whole family flying around in the sky! I pray they all have safe travels! Thanks for the bears updates, WOW! Oh I remember that James Darren song, Dad must have had that record because I knew every word! I found this video, I bet you know every song like I did!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mOOUWek8v0

tsk, glad to hear you and your new phone are all okay, isn't it wonderful then you get a helpful person when you call customer service? A rare thing...

baz, I can't imagine a 3 week long headache, is it a migraine? Sorry it returned, hope it's gone this morning!  Yes, like tsk said, maybe you need a cat on your head!

LANI  Went to bed at half time  Yay Chiefs   ;D   I too keep my eyes off the road when Tim drives as well or I'm likely to comment  ::) ::)  Never do that with my SIL Barb tho  or my friend Julie.  ;D  Gosh, you caused me to swoon this AM with Good Bye Cruel World Memories.... ;) ;) ;)

BAZI   I see where Pegula rallied  ;D     Thanks for those links.  I tried the steps in that first link   Not finding what it says I should find.  Will bring this up to the tech tho this AM  Thanks

(((PHYL, JIM)))  365  glad they repeat sections of that great wolf series.

CLYNN  Blues Friday  Pretty sky   Those 10 forgotten bands was so interesting.  I think anyone who had to compete with the Beatles had a hard time of it.  Reminds me of the golfers who were around at the time of Tiger Woods or in any sport where there were clear leaders.  Good memories for us tho who knew everyone of those songs.  Good era of simple "sunshiny" songs.   ;)    Oregon Trail - Never knew parts have been preserved.  Strong generation back then.

First, clynn I'll second the helpful comment.  There are very few customer service connections that even have a human on the other end, much less a helpful, and concerned!

tsk  Oh, I did try Verizon = no people to connect to.  Went back to purchase store, they said a "less of a crowd, please come back.  Humph!  Waited over an hour and then he took my phone "to the back" and did come back with a couple ideas and showed me it was working.  It would really help if he showed you what worked or what to try. 

As an example - trouble with puter - got hooked up with a rep at Smart Help at HP.  He helped with the problem AND fixed a couple other issues he spoke of that needed update/correction/addition.  So helpful.

My original prob was the entire machine just plain froze!!!!  There's a trick of the trade (?) where you hold down the delete key for 1 sec count, and when same screen reappears, hold the delete for 6/7 secs.  Wham mo!  Just like that after hours of angst.

Did anyone ever hear about this?

Now for my real reason I'm here to post. . .   Action this am at Great Spirit Bluff. 

Checking mail I heard background noise, had to jump over.  Started about 6:20-25.  Seemed like a discussion I should watch.  I'm saying U90 first and Newman came to talk things over.  She left, he hopped into the box, she came back.  yadda yadda yadda  He finally got her to leave, switch to sunrise, switch back to box, he was still on patrol.

Now I have to leave for Tahiti????  Back later.

Lisa, the kids are doing well in school, I don't get much of an answer when I ask them how school is going, just 'good'! Have you had a visit with Sydney lately? It's different when it's your son instead of your daughter. I know Erin's spend much more time with Sydney's family than ours. Much more. Girls rule.

Puff, here's a fix I got from Erin! If you ever get one of those blaring pages that says your pc is infected and you can't do anything because there is no way to get out of it, do this: Control Alt Delete and go to task manager. This shows everything running on your PC. Highlight your browser (Edge, Chrome, whatever) and hit End Task. Thia will close the browser and get rid of that page.

Have to share - I hope I'm OK to share.  Quoted from our weekly city events mailing. . .

  Mayor's Message
“Family is the most important thing in the world”

- Princess Diana



This coming Sunday, September 8, is Grandparents Day, a day when families will come together and acknowledge the love and appreciation they have for their grandparents. As a grandparent there is a joy in witnessing a new generation of our family, and being a grandparent provides a sense of fulfillment, as we see our grandchildren carry on the traditions of our family.



 Over the years we care for our grandchildren as if they were our own children; yes, we spoil them, but that is an outgrowth of our love for their presence in our lives. We have changed their diapers, wiped away their tears, attended their sporting events, celebrated their academic successes, and quite honestly, made ourselves available to them whenever they needed us. Why? Because as Princess Diana states, “family is the most important thing,” and our grandchildren will always be a part of us, and hopefully they will always have beautiful memories of our presence in their lives. Happy Grandparents Day!

We all love our memories!  Miss my family!

clynn - I have not seen Sydney since April.  Some here know and others don't but Kelly does not like me, and is keeping her away from me.  I am trying to keep a positive attitude, but it sometimes gets to me. I hope one day that Bradley realizes that both of them have hurt me more than they know.  I am far from being perfect, but I have apologized to Kelly for whatever I did, and all I got was a scolding back from her.   :-\

Camper has a renewed relationship with his oldest son. Glad for that, mostly. He just texted he will be happy to stop by our yard this weekend to make it look like someone is home. And he will bring his puppy to clear our yard of any unwelcomed visitors.

Royal Albatross 9/6 - beautiful sunrise and TF chick  :-*

Royalcam Chick TF Expels A Bolus In Anticipation Of Fledging! Ranger Picks It Up To Examine 😲 9.6.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUAU4ZysRv0

Prior to fledging a chick will regurgitate a bolus which is composed of hard indigestible material. It is mostly squid beaks but sometimes there are other  hard materials such as plastics found too. The toroa chicks regurgitate the bolus prior to fledging to lose some weight. TF is seen casting out a bolus this morning. DOC ranger Jim is there to walk over and search the grass for the bolus and to pick up the contents for examination. TF will watch Jim do his work and then when he is finished, TF will spread out his wings showing them off!

TF is getting ready to fledge at any time now. The chicks lose weight prior to fledging in order to get better lift for take off. On a breezy day, we tend to see the first chicks take flight. TF is almost ready to go! ♥ Thank you for watching!

PUFF   We have an excellent Verizon store about 15 min away in Niles.  Have never been disappointed with the tech. help.  Overheard the tech telling a customer  " If you ever need tech help call 611 and ask for tech help"  I wrote it down  ;) ;)   Yes they have lots of tricks of the trade.  Learned 2 easy ones today I wish I had  known about over the past 6 years  LOLOL  Have not heard of yours however.   " Family"  so different today.

LISA  Idyllic AM pic today  :)  So after 1 hour and 30 min - not all with me however - my recordings are on my new phone  HOWEVER  they did not transfer to the App!!!  They are in downloads which I still can't find  ::)  And I didn't have the heart to tell her that only the sound is there - not the ID of the bird, which you would only get if it was in the app.  Oh well, I will start over.  You're always in my prayers (((HUGS FOR LISA)))

LANI   How cute is that Dewey  ;D   Fascinating how a bird's life is genetically programmed.  How would they know to do all those things if not programmed.   We will watch golf and if we recognize today's players we'll continue  LOL  Busy at my end as well with the start of a "new" year.  To look at Antali one would not know he is a juvenile"

TIG   LOL  Cody  ;D ;D ;D    I forgot what was next - only home for a day?

CLYNN  The worst pic of my entire life - LOLOL  I think of you every time I use my watermelon knife - not only for watermelon but for bread!!  So know that you are thought of a LOT.  ;D   I have Erin's advise already taped to the side of my computer desk  ;D

BAZI    I"m so glad you did mention that diagnosis cuz I don't remember it from past discussions.  I got scared as that was just what Tim's cousin had - headaches that wouldn't stop. - But of course his was a tumor.  I'm so happy to hear you have been diagnosed altho those periods must be just terrible for you.

tsk - about your bird calls;
First recommendation is to install an app called Samsung DeX - this app will allow you to use a USB cable to your computer and then display the phone screen onto the computer monitor.  It also includes a file transfer app for your phone.
Using the "My Files" app, you can locate your old recordings - according to google, your Merlin files are stored in the folder Music/Merlin.  The tech may have put them into the folder internal storage/Music/Samsung - drag and drop to the correct folder if that occurred.

The other possibility to check first is permissions under "Settings > apps > Merlin > Permissions and verify that Merlin has permission for Microphone.

TSK, good luck with the birdsongs and ID. Sounds like you’re close to finding success with that. Fingers crossed! Frustrating for sure. By the way, I do not have that pseudotumor cerebri condition anymore. It went away in Jan. 2014 and never came back. The headaches I have now are not related to that in any way. So I removed that long story. Confusing, I guess. ((Tim’s cousin)) has the real thing. I pray for comfort and helpful treatment for him.

((Lisa)), thanks. My headache is gone. Yay. The headaches I have now aren’t related to that severe condition I used to have. Thankfully, that severe  condition I had a long time ago went away in Jan. 2014, and it has never come back.

((Lani)), yes, retirement from that taxing position sounds like the way to go. Dewey is so sweet!  :-*

Clynn, you are so lucky that Erin can fix the tech glitches!

Karen, I hope the final connections and setup of your generator all goes smoothly. Almost done!

Tig, BL, happy trails!  :) I last flew in a seaplane in 1983, from Key West to Fort Jefferson/Dry Tortugas. Fun!

My ride in a seaplane was when I was about 4 (?) and sat in my Mom's lap. The pilot was our next door neighbor's dad. As we landed I peed mightily... as the story goes. Poor Mom.
The sad ending years later was the dad and a son died when the plane's pontoon hit a utility line, flipped and crashed while returning from a fishing trip in Canada... they had packed the pontoons full of illegal fish. So sad.
Anyway... Safe travels BL

BL, thanks for the Buffet tune! Sounds like you are having a great time, I think!

Lani, ah, sweet Antali still staying close to home... Soon he and Finn will leave, and same with the Albies... and we will be waiting for Spring to see them again. Do you think Iris has left? I checked their FB page, but no firm answer yet. Here is a sweet pic that Kitty Carlyle took at 2:45 this morning. Antali is a beauty! Love the Fisherdog clip!

Thanks about Jim--he sounds like a train wreck.

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING

OLDGUY   Just caught the Starliner landing on the news.

BAZI   You've flown a seaplane  :o :o   I forget,  but you have a pilot's license right?  Thanks for explanation on headaches..Did not hear about Sergio Mendes   :(  And to think he performed just 10 months ago.  Leave it up to the researchers - Doritos.  Who knows where that will lead??

PHYL   Hugs to (((Jim))).  Glad you acted quickly on those symptoms.  He's in the right place.  Loved the cat quotes and photo along with it.  ;D ;D  According to that chart Lulu will be 3 ( 28) in Oct.  Still a kid  ;) ;)   A beautiful new wolf piece from Jim Brandenburg

CLYNN     Great nighttime screen clip of Antali  :o   LOL "One in a Melon"  ;D  I'll have to try that on Tim when he's cutting up one.  ;)
Boy, you'd need to plan a 3month+ stay in Australia to go the distance.  It sure would be worth it.  :o

TIG   That's quite a seaplane pontoon story  :o :(

(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/59/b9/c5/59b9c51d20ef158d117c8f2cf35d8a0d.jpg)

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.  Still love listening to the Q-Kids.  Thanks for the info on Starliner.

tsk - Oh bummer, that you will have to start all over with the recordings.

BL - Sounds like you are off on another adventure.

Lani - Awww, Antali, he may never want to leave home.  ;D 

baz - Glad to hear the headache is gone.  RIP Sergio Mendes

Phyl - Sorry to hear about Jim.  Hope he feels better soon.

clynn - Funny story about trail cam visitors....the other morning, I was out there putting some food for the kitty visitors and when I bent down, one of Pepe's kids pops out from under the cat house.  I screamed...I am sure the whole Town of Queenstown heard me at 6AM!  The skunk just stood there and looked at me.  I was praying...please don't spray!

Puff, tig, kb, karen and all - Morning  :D

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: Puff on September 07, 2024, 08:18:34 AM

Some really cute kitties this morning!  Loved the cakebox pillow.  Good idea - but it didn't work.

clynn  Loved the 1AU highway pic - Never did it but heard about it.  That road along the coast might be better to walk.  Driving it and watching the scenery would be dangerous (aka stupid).  Beautiful pic.

Just for clarification as mentioned this week - I went to Europe Wednesday for an AMA cruise, had dinner on Thursday in Italy, got to visit the islands and atolls of Tahiti yesterday.  What a life!  What a job!

I have done these, just checking them out virtually this week.   I have also done each of them in real life.  Lots of new things being done, new places, new attractions, lots of lovely.  Truth be told, I spent only between 3 and 5 hours at each locale getting the latest on what's been happening.  Lots of news and new deals going on in the greater Pacific arena.  How about 10 days, Tahiti, 2 islands, air/taxes included, $2,999.  That's when I learned about pearl souvenirs instead of tee shirts.  LOLOLOL

It's a good visit with the destination reps, they know and show and tell.  Anyone have any questions?  Contact me.  I know a good resource person.   ::)

TSK, LOL, it seems you read extra meaning into my post.  ???  I said I flew in a seaplane. I did not pilot a seaplane.  ;D I didn’t have my pilot’s license till 3 years after that seaplane ride.  ;)

Lisa, glad you didn’t get a sample of Baby Le Pew’s scent!

Tig? A couple of those? Those what? I must’ve missed your reference? Continued happy trails.

Phyl, hope Jim’s better fast! Glad a good use was found for that particular food dye, and not on food. Great discovery for biology, medical science!

Karen, I hope all is good there.

Puff, I picked up that your recent Tahiti trip was virtual when you first mentioned it.  ;)

Kb, pretty picture.

Lani and Clynn, thanks for Antali pics. What a beauty! Looks like a clone of his father, Finn, and I hope he will inherit the same great bonding, nesting, and ospreylet rearing abilities that his dad has!  :-* :-*

OG, hope you have killer cards tonight!

BL, safe return travels!

Oh, P.S. I took a recent virtual trip, too! While visiting my Atlanta friend, we went to the Pyramids in Egypt, and floated on the Nile in a royal barge/boat! It was a program we walked through with a virtual guide while wearing virtual reality headsets. It was about a 45-minute tour in the Illuminarium. Very fun, and realistic!

Beyond the Red River

By Thomas McGrath
The birds have flown their summer skies to the south,
And the flower-money is drying in the banks of bent grass
Which the bumble bee has abandoned. We wait for a winter lion,
Body of ice-crystals and sombrero of dead leaves.

A month ago, from the salt engines of the sea,
A machinery of early storms rolled toward the holiday houses
Where summer still dozed in the pool-side chairs, sipping
An aging whiskey of distances and departures.

Now the long freight of autumn goes smoking out of the land.
My possibles are all packed up, but still I do not leave.
I am happy enough here, where Dakota drifts wild in the universe,
Where the prairie is starting to shake in the surf of the winter dark.

Kelsey has been so excited for her birthday today, we have been hearing about it all month (and last month...)!  She is 31 today, as she has told everyone! We are going to The Machine Shed for her birthday dinner, Erin's will join us! They will try to give her a birthday dessert but she won't want it! Then we will come back home for birthday cake (none for her) and presents.

Phyl, glad to hear that Jim is looking better! Love the poem Beyond the Red River, and thanks for Amy's Blog Good as always! Today is our last day in the 70s, warm up starts tomorrow and lasts several days. The morning picture is great, it is going to be a puzzle later today!

Lani, oh, love the black and white kitties! Wow, that will be some virtual trip, you have everything planned well! My driving might be a bit loopy though, but who cares! Thanks for the news that Iris is still at home and both are feeding Antali! He may decide to stay as long as possible! Beautiful picture of Iris coming in for a landing, fish in tow, and Antali impatiently waiting!

oldguy, good news for Iceland, at least for a while...

tsk, how clever of you to find good things for your coat drive at garage sales, plus you get to look around! You never know what you might find!

Lisa, bet the little Pepes are cute though!

TF continues to take advantage of the breezy conditions to practice his hovering skills at sunset. ♥ And TFT (left) will walk over close to TF's nest and the boys have a long visit with some chick chat! When TF decides that he had enough socializing, he clacks at TFT who then turns around and heads to the left back to his nest :) Thank you for watching!

Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

TFT renovating the edge of TF's natal nest (I think). No objections from TF.

Busy day tomorrow with two visits from the generatir folks and a visit from the plumber for my shower issues.  Not draining fast enough and not running alk the water thru the hand held shower head but sending it down between the wall  and out on the floor in the potty room adjacent to it!  The two issues are not connected but both happened at once and both are, I think, simple fixes!   Placed a small grocery order for delivery to orrow to be deliveredlate!   Have to have grapes!  Mmmmm
Phyl, how is Jim doing?
Baz, are you busy with sports today?   Hope no headache!
Time to attend to trash and other minor stuff!  Phyl I think your first picture this morning looks like Holland and a canal!

Too early in the year to say  BURRRRRR?

Yesterday morning 42,  today 53.  Guess that's better, but I just turned on the heat just to get the chilly out of the house.  It's suppose to be better this afternoon, 80's.  When out yesterday about 10 am to take care of birds and outside "stuff".  Came back in and had a hot chocolate.  Last stop coming in showed 63.  But, it was sunny.   :-\

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes for Kelsey! She asked me several times yesterday if she could look at her Birthdays on the computer! She smiled at every one! We met Erin's at The Machine Shed, she told everyone it was her birthday, and even asked our server if they were going to sing Happy Birthday to her! They don't do that any more, but she got to pick one of their BIG cookies (which she will never eat!)!  Would much prefer an order of fries! We all came back to the house and had cake/ice cream (except for her!). Then she opened her presents. A pair of purple Skechers slip Ons was her favorite! Thanks again all, she had a good day!

karen, so after today your Generac will be all ready to go? And it kicks right in when your power goes out? Is there a certain amount of time it goes on after a power outage? Just wondering about when the power flicks off for a few seconds. Or minutes.

Puff, 54 here right now. Haven't had the ceiling fan on for a few days, but will today.! A warm week coming!

Lani, sweet Antali looks lonely sitting on the perch...but I am sure Iris and Finn are close by...  Love the 'Priestly' dog, those are so cute! And thanks for the Alby updates!  You and Sadie will be out walking soon! The window here is open, I can hear a lone cicada outside...

Lori, what a lovely tie dye cupcake!  Good to see you, hope you are all well! give some pets to Destini!

tsk, no, Kelsey doesn't eat several things, sweets is one of them! She does put brown sugar on her oatmeal every morning (on the weekend she gets Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls) and she has sugar in her cup of tea. She doesn't eat raw vegetables or fruit or soup either!It has something to do with the texture I think.

Lisa, can Jeff get a picture of the little LePews?

Earth Geographic - The formation of ‘ice flowers’ is a beautiful natural phenomenon in the Great Lakes region of North America!!  When the temperature drops under freezing temperatures, the non-frozen water under the ice layer is pushed upward, creating small cracks. Then, as very little water flows through these cracks and almost immediately freezes, very thin ice layers of irregular shapes are formed. As they accumulate, they create fantastic geometric shapes. Mother Nature’s art is amazing! ❄️❄️

Phyl - Hope all is OK with him, and his Covid test is negative.

clynn - Your morning birdy, so cute!  I will ask Jeff to send me some pics of the young Pepe's when the takes the card out of the trail cam.  Glad to hear that Kelsey had a good birthday.

Karen, what’s BSL? LOL. Yay for an easy plumbing fix! I watched men’s US Open final tennis match yesterday. No football since Thursday night’s season-opening win by the Chiefs. Yay!  :D

I never got to the Beak Room yesterday. I missed Kelsey’s birthday!!

Happy birthday, Kelsey! I missed it, but I will help you keep on celebrating your birthday today!! 🎉

Clynn, love your morning birdie cutie. Sounds like a fun birthday celebration!

Lani, you have the Katmai trip all planned! I will have to fly right seat since I’m not current on my pilot’s license.  ;) I hope Mike doesn’t have to deal with Hurr Francine, currently forecast to track for a Wednesday landfall along the LA coast, center track line right now looks like might land somewhere between Lake Charles and NOLA, then north inland toward St. Louis way or thereabouts.

Phyl, hope Jim is better and doesn’t have covid! I’m kind of surprised they didn’t test him for it when he first got sick. Hope the test is negative.

A few people mentioned it, I feel good and don’t have a headache today. Yay! Thanks!  :-*

Waving to All the Beakers! Have a great day!  :)

Later, Beakers!  :)


P.S. I just updated my post with the images... LOL, had to get on my PC to make it right.  ;)

Karen, thanks... I guess I missed the reference earlier to that town. :)

Inspired by Lani's post!

Good afternoon Beakers..

I have been and will have a busy week. It's that time of year to make final repairs before winter and attend to those unexpected ones!
Had my inlet water valve fixed on my washing machine this morning...yah!
Have other garage repairs to make today with help

Then, the big one on Thursday: Have someone coming to help throw/organize etc. my whole garage!
Wow...intention is to be able to place SUV, mower, and snowblower in there with all the other stuff and NOT move one machine or the other down each year.

Can't do it myself. Need some high places with junk pulled and thrown and all the junk Scott and us kept for that "one day"...ya know.

Hope all will be well and stay well...here's thinking of you Phyl

Thanks for posting Lisa!  I was going to say that I thought BSL was a very charming town with artists and such!  I always felt it shared more with NOLA than Mississippi but  then the coast is a little different!  I really, really miss being able to jump in the car and drive along the coast, stopping here and there!  And then there is someone on the Beak who was a resident of that lovely town!  She can speak  for herself!  Lol

Phyl, Kelsey had a great birthday, she is still talking about it today! She thinks it's really funny that Grandma forgot to mail her birthday card! Mom called me yesterday morning, realizing the card sat there for a couple of weeks and for some reason she was thinking it was next week! I told her Kelsey wouldn't mind, the presents from her were there!  I told Mom it was okay, after all, she is almost 90! So how is Jim doing this afternoon? I hope better... The 365, love that moose man calling his harem...LOLOL!

karen, glad Lisa explained BSL, I had no idea! So are you all done with the Generac? Just watch, you won't have a power outage for years now that you are so prepared! It will be a good selling point for the house some day!

baz, Kelsey got purple Skechers for her birthday, she loved the purple greeting! It doesn't matter if you don't have a current pilot's license, you are the only one with ANY experience! I'm driving and I can't see very good from my left eye!

Lani, love the Monarch video, mesmerizing...

Lisa, the flowers in your morning picture look like Rose of Sharon Hibiscus, but I have never had that color, they are beautiful! I had bushes out front of the fence years ago, they were white. We moved them to the back yard and they turned pink, but those you posted are kind of coral colored. Looking forward to seeing some pics of the 'little stinkers'!

tsk, Kelsey does eat applesauce every day! But that is it for fruit. Nothing raw. The next time I go shopping with Mom I am going to have her try the Skecher Slip Ins. She likes her shoes to fit snugly so has never tried them, but I have heard that they stay on good and snug.

Black Eagle Project Roodekrans - 9/1 - Juve 24
Day 98, and Juve 24 is still keeping us in suspense. BEPR Monitors have been in the Gardens daily from last Friday - day 90, waitng for her to fly, while Makatsa and Mahlori bring in prey and keep the nest clean with fresh Green Sprays. Makatsa and Mahlori flying over the Waterfall egging her on to join them. We'll post a notification on this page as soon as she fledges.
(https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/458197577_919787880183386_7957006963249959462_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&_nc_ohc=4hasCyHcnXIQ7kNvgHWvo9g&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&oh=00_AYCkTHa_ARUGuunhG2B_-vMkRKBn-qJXQ30wfuMqTKBWjA&oe=66E53B62)

Finally, the Juvenile of 2024 (Juve 24) has Fledged. Mohammed and I were in the Gardens early this morning with another photographer - John Leroy. We found the Juvenile on the rock ledge to the right of the nest. Makatsa and Mahlori were perched in the trees on the East ridge.
Juve 24 was up to her tricks again, flapping her wings and jumping up and down. Then, without warning at exactlu 08.11, she jumped off the rock and glided into the Gorge. Both parents came in circling where she landed.

LISA   Very first time I've heard of that city - Kind of confusing - thanks

CLYNN  Kelsey will love getting a b-day card from Grandma after the fact  ;D  Sketchers slip ins amazingly are easy to get on and off yet grip well at the heel.  They have more styles now since I got mine about a year ago. Shoshone Falls  :o

OLDGUY  Just heard about JEJ on the news tonight.  He will be long remembered for his great voices.  Love that song - Don't Bring Me Down.  Good to hear Lesley again.

KAREN  Continuing on from OLDGUY's comment - We get a yearly Sept inspection from Generac.  They call us and remind us.  Do you get that?

TIG  I've been to Wall Drug  LOL   Like Clynn said - Almost like the Burma Shave signs  LOL   Are you on your way back?

Pip, Kopje and I, plus all the Gear, oh' lord the gear, are back home safe and sound.

I pack really light when I travel .. Pip & Kopje a little more not so much.  :-\ 

We're still drinking coffee at 6 pm EDT & Mr. Kopje wants to go for a hike.  ::)

I'm .. the best way I could describe it .. in need of some RR from my RR.   ;D

I nicely feel like a Silva Compass sitting on top of LilBro's car battery with my time zones so askew the only thing I know is this EDT here is stellar.    8)   

Got back to our abode very late last night after quite the logistical travel itinerary.
It all went very swimmingly actually. We love it when the best laid plans actually work out like best laid plans.   
The BWCA is not a real easy place to get in and out of and that's why I love it so much.
It keeps the riffraff like me out.   

Two people a highly trained/well traveled dog ALL THE GEAR IN and OUT of the places, planes and vehicles.
Arms and shoulders like canoe paddling noodles.

May the white horses trot off the inlets and lift to show all the shore wildlife.

It would be easier to list the ones we didn't see.   :) :)

Lisa, thanks. I know what Bay St. Louis is. I have been to, and around that whole Gulfport/Biloxi area, and had, and still have, family in that region. I just wasn't hip to the abbreviation, "BSL," and I apparently missed any earlier reference to Bay St. Louis that would/ve clued me in when Karen mentiond it by the abbreviation, BSL.  ;)  I guess I missed out on whoever mentioned Bay St. Louis recently, and don't know why it came up. OK, reading on, I'm thinking now that BSL is where you grew up... sorry I didn't remember that, if that is correct. I was thinking you grew up in Louisiana and Alabama. Oh well, my memory is not good on the particulars of everyone's early childhood days. Sorry I'm forgetful about that.

Clynn, it tickles me that Kelsey thinks it's funny that grandma forgot to mail her birthday card. Did you remind her that she is still older than you now?  :D  I forgot to mention your ice flowers this morning. I have seen about ice circles and other oddities from ice on large and windy lakes, but those ice flower formations are new to me. Weirdly wonderful!  :D   Your mention of me flying a seaplane through treacherous terrain, and you driving with limited sight, made me chuckle and is starting to give me visions of "a 3-hour tour,"   ;)  ending up with all of us stranded for years somewhere in the unknown outback. LOL! Can you just imagine...  :D :D :D  We will need to tweak the lyrics just a tad.  ;) :D :D

KB, I don't know about that plant the Monarchs are on. It's really pretty. Your garage project sounds epic - you're going to love the result!!

Lani, your Pontificating Pup reminded me of the sweet dachshund that used to live next door to me. I called her "The Velveteen Puppy." She was sooo soft! and Sweet! I miss her.  :-*

Lisa, I hope to-be-Hurricane Francine doesn't send severe weather problems to your brother's home or your other family and friends in that area. Fingers crossed, and prayers, that they all stay safe and don't suffer any serious damage.

Tig, I'll have to google Wall Drug. Continued Happy Trails to you and Camper!

OG, oh wow! Thanks! Lesley the Bird Nerd posted some more Blue Jay recording! I'm surprised, after what she had said about needing to stop doing that. Fun to watch.  :)

Phyl, did you ask the doctor if Jim had covid? I hope he's better and better fast!

TSK, great discovery of the coats and boots on your weekend yard sale tour!

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

Good night, All. Peace. SED.

For the last several mornings when I sit down at the computer, there is one lone cricket outside the open window, chirping away. It sounds like he is in the same spot every morning, chirp, chirp, chirp...

Lani, cute little hopping sheep! You find the cutest pictures!

baz, oh, Gilligan's Island, a staple tv show of our childhood! It always amazed me all the things they came up with from what they had with them on their 3-hour tour! Simple comedy, I kind of miss that... Shows like Leave it to Beaver, The Andy Griffith Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show and on and on... I am glad there are tv stations that run those old shows! I enjoy the old Perry Mason shows, even Kelsey now knows Perry!  I think Lesley missed her Blue Jays, what a great video!

Phyl, Lovely morning pictures!  Cute poem! I have it in my profile at the Iowa Clinic that they can share information with Ed, and he has vice versa. See if you can do that, have Jim give them permission to get information. Frustrating not to know what is going on...

BL, good to hear you and Pip and Kopje made it home safely!

Good Morning! Cool morning with a breeze from  BL but humidity from some place else!  Temps going to mid z80’s.
Phyl, hope you find out what Jim has.   You need appropriate  Care too!

Love the old shows.  Have not seen Gilligans Island in ages!
Glad to see Blue Jays!  Those and Cardinals have disappeared  from my yard.  My backyard neighbor used to feed but he sold the house to his daughter and she does not!  Ido hummers but not the others!  May have to start!  There is a lot to eat around sonI am hoping it is not an environmental issue or worse!

Wiskersnwings  posted a short video this am, from sfl?  She showed bothM and f23 working on the nest!   Will not be long!
Think about Jpalm often and his home on the lovely Keys!  What a fun place to relax and view nature!
Nice Pinks, clynn.   cheerful!
Lisa, have not looked today but yesterday Mobile was not in the cone, or at least not near the center.  Have not even seen it is now a Hurricane!  Looking forward to seeing pictures of baby Pepes!

Royal Albatross
Top Flat Track chick is 223 days old today. Last week he weighed 9.1 kg which, although below average, was still in the healthy weight range. Both parents have been in to feed him since the last weigh day.

Fledging
Fledging has started a few from further down the hill have left now. All the chicks are practising hovering and holding their wings out in the wind. Their weights drop prior to fledging and mobility increases.

Parents and chicks can recognize each other from at least 50m apart so it is not necessarily an issue if the chicks are not at their nests when the parents come in for those last few feeds. Once the chicks do fledge, a parent may wait near a nest for a while until they decide their chick is not showing up. The parents then head to the waters off South America to feed up for the next 12 months before arriving back to breed again.

Howdy Beakers!  :)

Lani, great video of those sweet special ability pups getting to have a fun romp on the sand by the ocean!  :-* :-*

Lisa, thanks for reminding me - I thought I remembered the NOLA part of your childhood.  :)  Yep, soon-to-be-Hurricane Francine needs to be on your brother's radar, Big Time!! This morning's update said the dry air in the southern Gulf/Bay of Campeche worked into Trop Storm Francine yesterday and essentially split it in half, making it smaller, but still an organized 65-mph Trop Storm this morning. That's why it hadn't become a hurricane overnight and as of this morning, but it still will be a hurricane later today. NOTE: It's updated landfalling forecast track has moved east!! Right now, it's looking like it may make landfall close to/around Morgan City, LA, (BIG storm surge in places, with some areas ordered to evacuate!), then move northeast over NOLA and on over Biloxi, and on toward Mobile, AL. Since that forecast track has moved a bit East, landfall is forecast to be a slightly less strong hurricane of 90 mph, instead of 100mph.  That helps a little, but it also means it will stay over water slightly longer and make landfall slightly later on Wednesday than previously forecast. Of course, that track location, intensity, and timing can all change! I hope your brother stays tuned, and stays safe with no damage!! Fingers crossed!!

((Phyl)), I hope you get a covid test now, too. I hope you won't wait to see how you feel later. No matter Jim's test results. Hope you get a negative result, and you and Jim, both, feel better fast!

Tig, good eats!  ;D

Fingers crossed that solar storms/flares won't disrupt his comm... LOL... Hey, the story writers have to have something to work with here.  8) ;) ;D  :D :D

TSK, thanks for the reminder. I loved JPALM! And his wonderful stories from Key West, and the gorgeous pics of flowers, and life on the island, that he took and shared. I miss doing puzzles with him, too! He PM'd me on occasion, and we shared some travel and family Navy stories with each other that way. Missing him, yes, but also fondly remembering our special JPALM today with such good memories!!  :-*


The Wildlife Commission's biologist/alligator expert and I had a fabulous lengthy conversation by The Pond this morning. He was out to verify/document reported unprovoked aggressive/dangerous behavior of a newly-arrived gator in our pond (NOT SWAMPY!), reported by a neighbor after it chased his pre-school-aged son last weekend. This is not our regular Swampy gator. Swampy hasn't been seen in the last couple of weeks, but this brand new younger/smaller gator showed up in our pond about a couple weeks ago after Swampy moved out (but could come back). This new smaller/younger alligator has bad manners - it has developed decidedly non-normal alligator behavior around people, which is the result of negative human interaction in its past (being fed, etc., which produces very different results in gators than it does in the black bears!), most likely habituating it in that regard wherever it was living prior to it taking up its new residence in our pond just recently. I learned so much from this alligator specialist biologist, which was welcome information, and I now know how to look to discover if an alligator I see in the wild has been noted/documented by the Wildlife Commission before, and how many times. Interesting stuff! We talked a loooong time! I would love to ride along in his truck every day!!  Bottom line, this new smaller alligator is getting ready to have a bad day, and will likely be re-located (safely, without harm) to the Green Swamp - that's the Green Swamp in NC (not the one in Florida), a ways away. The pond will not stay "alligator-less" after that - another gator will move in, but hopefully not one with bad/dangerous behavior toward humans, and Swampy possibly could return, otherwise, a different alligator will move in. I have observed such over the 18-and-a-half years I have lived beside this pond, and the alligator biologist confirmed that would indeed happen.

Well, that's weird.

While I was at the hairdresser so I didn't see/hear myself lots of peeps posted vids of 5 F35 fighter jets flying low over Richfield...the airport is just to our east but it's a commercial/international airport, not a military base.

Of course, nobody knows why....lots of speculation though!

Here's a pic of many from the city:
There were 5 different fighter jets. Drills?

Thanks Oldguy. Yes I frequently see transport planes over my house, not fighter jets. Yes, thought about the air national guard. It was just so weird. In 25 years haven't heard of so many fighter jets flying out of MSP

"Insider sources" from community members state training exercises, not refueling....hmm.

Even more progressive is the genius MacGyver, who never carries a gun and always thwarts the enemy with vast scientific knowledge - sometimes with little more than a paper clip and the duct tape in his pocket.)

Lani, sweet Antali... One by one the Royal Albies take off to soar the ocean. It's already started, we will miss them. Cute look on TF's face, like 'what are you looking at?'.

Phyl, losing a post, we have all been there, done that. You're right, oh well. Haunting good night pic!

tsk, I agree, oldguy is the MacGyver of the Beak. I think BL is the Adventurer, entertaining us with his travels! Both are the Weather Man! Thanks for reminding us of jpalm, the puzzle man with the sound system...

baz, wow on the alligator story, I hope Swampy comes back after they relocate the young whippersnapper!

Lisa, we have been having wonderful weather these past couple of weeks too! Supposed to have a couple of much warmer days today and tomorrow, then back down to the good temps!

Someone got a cool video of them all taking off out of MSP airport..it's on fb and it only can be shared to a clipboard. I don't have windows....I have a Mac operating system.

Lol TSK. Except for some TVs and other various birds, and the hawks that sent us on our way and welcomed us back, we were not fortunate to see an eagle. Glad your friend did. We did, however, see at least 5 herd of bison and were close but carefully driving by a few single animals. Yesterday, in Custer State Park Camper got pretty close to a mom and calf that were behind a fence. She lay down for a while but sure kept an eye on him. Camper knew when it was time to retreat. They looked hot and bothered by flies... didn't need us hanging around.
We are about 15 minutes from home. Thanx for all the thoughts and prayers all. Except for that one hail storm, it has been a perfect trip.

Francine has made it on shore this evening - a tornado warning has just been issued for the area just south of Bay St. Louis - aiming for Gulfside.

update 10pm - it is now a tropical storm - rainfall amounts in the area from the gulf shore up to New Orleans  ranged from 5 to 9.5 inches.  Rain has almost stopped for the area south of Lake Ponchartrain is coming to an end for the evening.

So apparently OG and I need to start brushing up on our bush skills and start carrying more duct tape and paper clips.    ;)

Both of which have saved my bacon more than once.

I always keep a dowel wrapped of what we call 100 mph tape in my pack. 

The paper clip a 9 Volt battery steel wool and dryer lint PooF.

I've stood on the original Brooks Falls observation platform twice and watched the grizzly bear gorging on salmon.

It's pure cheeks hurt for sure.

I'd sorta trust an expired pilots license rusty no seaplane experience Bazi to land us on Lake Nakek and taxi us all in.  :-*

BAZI  Sounds like OG and BL will be like our "McGivers".  LOL ( MacGyver is a top agent for the Phoenix Foundation, a progressive agency devoted to righting the wrongs of the world. Even more progressive is the genius MacGyver, who never carries a gun and always thwarts the enemy with vast scientific knowledge - sometimes with little more than a paper clip and the duct tape in his pocket.)
   Fascinating discussion about the mis- mannered alligator.  I know when one usually sees a raccoon in daytime to be leery .  Could that alligator be ill as well as how it was habituated?

KAREN/LISA   Females always seem to rule the roost  LOLOL

TSK, LOL on the MacGyver reference!!  :D :D  I thought about him when I mentioned the paper clips/ink pen thing. LOL. The mis-behaving gator's apparent health will be checked when he's re-located. That is something that alligator specialist biologist does review. He also locates gators that people have reported as having something wrong with them, like fishing lures attached to them, etc., so they can be helped, where possible. He had a very interesting related story he told me about one such gator... who did get the fishing lure removed.

BL, I agree!! If only we knew who that stupid human is... likely not someone living near me, though, since that young gator just arrived at this pond in the last 2 weeks and was already displaying that behavior then... so he likely was fed by someone at a previous location. My neighbor and I scolded another neighbor once, many years ago now, when we caught her throwing food to the then-gator in our pond (about 15 years ago). She was throwing chicken to him to lure him. We caught her doing it a 2nd time after we had already scolded her for that, and we had to basically read her the riot act to get her to stop. She did. She hasn't lived here for a long time now.  In all fairness to her, she "wasn't right." But we had to impress upon her the importance of her not doing that anymore, and I think it really did get through to her since she didn't do it anymore after that.

I got the recently approved new Covid Vaccine this morning. Yay! Stumbled upon it by accident while making a quick foray to Walmart. LOL. Worked out great - their pharmacy wasn't crowded - only 1 person waiting on an Rx (wow!). So it took only about 15 minutes from when I asked if they had it, to walking away with a bandaid on the injection site. Easy peasy. Tonight, I only have slight soreness in the muscle at the injection site - otherwise, wouldn't know I had gotten it. I'm glad I got that checked off my list, because I was wanting to get one a few weeks before I have an outpatient procedure that's scheduled for about a month from now. My neighbor contracted Covid last month while she was a patient in the hospital! I will at least have some immunity for the newer covid variants circulating now, so that should help me fend off any such cooties the doctor, nurse anaesthetist, and assistants might breathe down all over me while I'm knocked out.  ;D


Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Phyl, what a great picture of Newman you posted yesterday! Jim is better ...  and you will be better soon! Wonderful news on the help for your knees!

tsk, I am late this morning!  I think I would like to get a subscription to the National Parks magazine! Sounds like it would be well worthwhile!

Lani, nice breeze in your goodnight picture. Love that picture you posted of the Twin Towers, made from pictures of all of those who died that day. It is so unique, I hope every family got one of those prints.  Had to turn the A/C on yesterday, just for a day or two. Temps going back down Friday! Love the open windows! I love having the windows open.

baz, good for you! I have to run to Sam's today, I will get the new Covid and Flu shots! Glad to hear that there is someone who takes care of the alligators, after all, they are God's creatures too...  :)

kb, my Dad was a fighter jet mechanic. Mom had a picture of the ones he worked on in Viet Nam etched on his headstone. The sound in that video was a sound I grew up with until I was 17. It took me back to Luke AFB ...The 56th Fighter Wing, headquartered at Luke Air Force Base, Phoenix, Ariz., is the largest fighter wing in the U.S. Air Force. The picture on Dad's headstone is the F-4 Phantom II.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

(https://media1.tenor.com/m/fqyViVb7aecAAAAC/good-morning-morning.gif)


I only got a Covid vax yesterday... not the Flu shot. I'm waiting a few more weeks to get my seasonal flu shot - I like to get it early October, so hopefully it lasts till the end of flu season. Covid is not considered seasonal anymore - it's a year-round thing now, and most all states currently have either High, or Very High, rates of infection... primarily from the newer variants in circulation. Three people in my circle have had Covid infections in the last 2 months. Ugh. So I decided not to wait to get a Covid vax.

BL, scary awful and sad memory.

KB, ((Ollie))

Lani, I hope Mike isn't having to dodge Francine's effects.

Phyl, great news on your knee injections, and glad Jim is much better, home, and starting to get back to his normal activities.

Tig, yep, sometimes you have to rest up from vacation time! LOL.

Clynn, that's such a nice headstone with the Phantom jet on it for your dad. Hugs. That Bon Jovi link said "404 Not found" for me. I'll look it up elsewhere. I'm waiting till early October to get my flu shot, but wanted to get the new Covid shot now. But it's nice that it's A-OK to get them at the same time for people who want to. I did that one year - worked fine for me... just got them in separate arms. I'm loving the recent "open windows" weather, too!!

TSK, it sounds like your friends had a great visit to Yellowstone.

OG, I'm sure glad Francine wasn't any larger or stronger than it was. It has been bad for a lot of areas that got awful flooding/ storm surge, and heavy rainfall flash flooding on top of all that - roofs blown off, and some communities have pretty much 100% loss of electricity. I really feel for the people suffering from all that.

Lisa, you're probably posting at this same time.  ;)   Update: Hmm... Lisa,you're not here yet today... I hope everything is okay there - stay away from the "Little Stinkers."  ;)



Take care, All, and enjoy the day!   :) :-*

Home again, home again, jiggidy jig!

Ollie had x rays: I saw them. Vet isn't an orthopedic or radiologist. No masses in abdomen, spine, or back lower limbs.

Suspect sprained hips esp. the right one. Possible inflammation in last lumbar before sacrum.

TX: bed rest for 2 weeks....ouch. no walks, no running in back yard and rimadyl for a week. will follow up if pain doesn't disappear.

Need to start investigating ramps/stairs...I bought one a few years back that didn't work out.

He's 9 yr. 4 months old..but, he's a long bodied dog for some reason...may be bilateral hip dysplasia, from birth. I didn't see it myself. My son has bilateral hip dysplasia but I'm not a vet.

Puff- I've been seeing Northern Light pics for weeks here from Minnesota.

Phyl - gad Jim is better....whew.

Catching up here and have Trevor coming tomorrow for the Big Dig in the garage.

Ollie may be more difficult the next few weeks as he loves his walks and no walkie Ollie for a long time.

CLYNN  Another clever dream catcher.   We donate to them so get the magazine because of that.  It's really the only "big" National organization we contribute to. Would hate to see anything happen to our Park System.  What a place for that SF Bay nest  LOL  Good article - video did not play for me.

TIG  Taking days to unpack and catch up makes you forget you were even gone - Except for Camper's, pics of course  ;D

LISA   Good to hear the family down south is OK   LOL  Big Mama and the Little stinkers - sounds like the name of a band... ::) ::)

KB   Hard to give a protector , energetic companion like Ollie - a time out for some time.  :(

LANI  It's one thing to see those huge bears on film - imagine in person!!

BAZI   thanks for the follow-upon Bon Jovi  Good deed.

Helped set up another refugee apt today in the City for a Syrian family of 4 - Exhausted!

GOOD MORNING ALL

LANI    Boy, Mike's plant sure has had a lot of direct hits with flooding and no power.  :(  So tough on employees who can't work but have to deal with all the damage to their homes.

tsk, I forgot it was the 13th!

Lani, sorry to hear about Mike's plant in Reserve, will he have to go there when they are able to start getting things back in order? Sad when one has to say 'worse than last time...'. Sweet Antali, he doesn't want to leave! The Chonkster, wow, he is HUGE!!! The bear in the 2nd video, big belly! 909 is huge too, love the big butt waddling away... The juvies are beautiful!

tsk, you are such a good person...was the apartment for the refugee family not as bad as the last one?

Phyl, hope Jim doesn't over do it! And how are you feeling, is the cold gone? When is your first knee appointment?

Lisa, beautiful Fall barrel!  Thanks for the pics of the LaPews! Are there just 2 little ones? This season R&R were just using the whirly Crane site to perch, but who knows, maybe they will rebuild there next year! I hope so, I love the view from there! Not fond of nests on lights, too much chance it will get removed by people.

baz, I did go ahead and get both shots yesterday, one in each arm! I got them at Sam's and got $5 shopping credit for each one!

tig, welcome home!

kb, prayers for Ollie...

This popped up in FB, I remember memorizing this poem in High School,,,and I still remember it!

Lani, yes I just want to cry for the people and their homes and places of work after I saw what happened this week in LaPlace and Reserve, LA, and other places, from Hurricane Francine. Just an awful calamity for those communities! So many of the people there were just really getting back on their feet and in repaired/rebuilt homes and businesses after the devastating Hurricane Ida ruined it all just 3 years ago... it takes many years to come back from that kind of damage, and some people never do. I think many people who have never been in areas that have had to deal with that kind of flooding and damage don't really know how long it takes to get back to normal - it always takes years, and some people never get back to their pre-storm flooding and damage normal life. I'm glad Mike's plant is back running again, and those employees can work and earn income while trying to make their homes livable again, hopefully.  :(  Prayers for all affected by the storms and damages.

Two hurricanes caused devastation in same areas, 3 years apart...

Hurricane Ida, 3 years ago:

Voila!...Trevor helped for an hour and a half and we got plenty done...his truck/trailer were full.
Most importantly, I can now fit both mower and snowblower in my garage at the same time along with my SUV....never again will I move either one of them down that steep hill to Scott's shop....nope.

and Only 100 bucks....!!!!!!! I told him next time I'll have him come take a look at my attic, which is full, oh boy!.

Only one time did he try to get us to play with his ball...nope nope and nope...no running said the Doctor I said. I take him out back only on his leash now or he'd take off after squirrels and chipmunks. That adrenaline gets going even if it hurts him ya know.

CLYNN  I love that heart board!!!  Even tho. it is at the end of the day  - my 13th went really well for all that I had going on including a pickup at O'Hare   LOL   It was the first apt we did that was awful - Not finished yet  - mold etc.  The second one was the biggest with the most room for storage.  This third one was the most furthest east and 1 1/2 blocks from the Lake!!!  2nd floor - building needed maintenance, apt small, two bedroom but 20 yr old dtr and 15 yr old son would have to share a room????  They'll work something out  LOL   No doors were hung anywhere - even bathroom - no hardware in sight.  Very little to no storage in kitchen.  By our standards, it would be rough but am reminded they may have come from hovels...Don't know  ??? :-\  I believe the rent is picked up for 6 months as by that time they are expected to have jobs.   What an interesting poem to memorize.  I've never heard of it  LOL

PHYL   Driftwood and the kingfisher 365  :)   Aww cute kitty hugging black one.  Do you have any pics of your Mom's ancestors?

LISA  Tim picked up Ozempic today - Need I say more.  He leaves Sunday for 3 days in Door county with his brother.

LANI   Loved the "plotting" cat gif  LOL  Cute pics of Dad and TF  ;D   Good news about Mike's plant.  I wasn't home most of the day - Work breakfast meeting lasted 3 hours 15 min!  Just finished writing summary of meeting and doing a pick up at O'Hare.

KAREN   I"ve had a round of back discomfort this week as well - Did some weeding early in the week and that did it  :P  Amazingly my go to drug Aleve did not do it for me so just stuck to Tylenol which doesn't do much either  sigh.  It's getting better on it's own.
Tomorrow will be a better day after some rest.

Tig that was thoughtful of management

Tsk Nope no photos. 2,500 yrs ago---the whole lot eventually migrated into Europe interbred . All I know. The Native American was just in the 20th century .
I wonder what your immigrants left to come here. Istn't there someone handy that can fix those temporary apts up a bit ? At least some
privacy for the females, family or not.  Youknow ?  I'd think the daughter could sleep with her mother ???  IMHO

KB  you are so fortunate/blessed to have the help you have. But, you know that  ;)

Good Morning Beakers! It's CATURDAY again!

tsk, the spy sure fits in well! Have a great day wherever you are going! Hope your back is back to normal! As for the apartment, it may be a palace to someone escaping a horrible situation, or a hovel, like you said. I bet some of the stories are heartbreaking... So Tim is on Ozempic now? That is what I am on for now. It is rather pricey!

Lani, great picture of the bears, love watching them on explore.org! They are getting really fat! Good to hear that Mike's plant is okay. Hope the employees are getting the help they need. Soon we will be missing the Royal Albies, and then Antali...

Phyl, cute goodnight pic! Old, old pictures are hard to come by. I have pictures of great grandparents, but I don't have any farther back than that... My cousin Doug, who has done a lot in Ancestry.com has found some older pictures. They seem to be few and far between. And it seems they weren't allowed to smile... Grandparents, Mom in front, Aunt June behind her and Aunt Linda is the baby. Uncle Jack not born yet. Around 1938 or 39.

Bl has had time to rest up so hopefully he will have some great music 🎵 for us tonight!

Clynn, my back is a little better but still very sore and the pain pills I took Thursday made me nauseous.   Still a little that way! .

Tsk, that apt sounds like it does not meet code.   Needs doors. Some refugees leave very nice homes to escape things.  You are doing great things.

Has anyone been in touch with E4E? I have been thinking of her and Kris, and hope they are doing well! I know she was posting less often due to time available, etc., which I understand, of course. I have been wondering if they have been affected by any of the CA fires, earthquakes, other weather, etc., and I hope they are safe and just enjoying their time together in retirement!  :)  Her last post was in June, the 17th, or thereabouts, the day before they were to leave on their AK cruise! I hope they had a wonderful trip! I was hoping she might stop by to say so sometime, or just pass along a hello. If anyone is in touch with her, please let her know I asked about her and Kris, and pass along my howdy-dos.  :)

Saw my first woolly bear caterpillar in my driveway while mowing today. According to above article, because it was more rust color than black, it should be a milder winter?!!!!!

Don't think that's what La Nina has in mind, but lets hope the caterpillar knows best..

Happy Day, camper and tig...I know you are enjoying it.

We went to BJ's Wholesale club this morning, the grocery store, stopped at the liquor store on the way back.  There was a waterman that had a lil trailer at the back of the liquor store steaming crabs, so we put in an order for 2 dozen of steamed crabs for our late lunch/early dinner.  Best steamed crabs EVER!

tsk - I hope he does well with the Ozempic, and that he has a fun time with Tom in DC.  I am in the same boat with you and karen, back issues. Getting better, but still feel the ache. 

Lani - Thanks for the Brooks Falls pic. Love your morning kitties, so pretty!

clynn - Love the pic of Sophie in her weird sleeping position! The Sydney kiddos are getting big.

Phyl - Hope you feel better soon!
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/90/b2/05/90b2055f2000be92d5e849716d8f54fd.jpg)

karen - I am like you, pain pills make me nauseous. LOL, taste testing Lori's desserts. 

Lori - Yes, please to the milkshake for me!  ;D

baz - I agree, Mom D is the Queen of Decorah!

kb - I have seen lots of caterpillars crossing the roads here lately.  I don't know if it is cause they are starting to harvest the cornfields, or what.  These are dark colored ones, almost black looking.  I hope that does not mean a cold winter here.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, tig & Camper!!!

Tig Thanks...glad to know  E4E & hubby are safe and doing well.

Karen so glad your back's improved---wish it were better for you.

CLynn lovely photo of your Grand Ps and your mom and your aunts as children. They are very  attractive couple!  ;)
Good Caturdays & S and S, too. Tks for Sydney Sea Eagles up date.

{{{Lori}}}  OMG ! That is one decadent chocolate cake and malts. I have to have some. Good thing Jim's napping or he'd eat it all ! LOL
Thank you for remembering all of us on our 'special days'.
Hope your family is doing well as you and Destiny too of course.

Lisa  Thanks fot the  chicken noodle soup . I haven't stocked chicken noodle this past year.  Will soon be the season for it.
 I best take heed.  We got a new  BJs Wholesale Market here too. Never been. Isn't it a 'membership'?
Luv your Caturdays

KB  thanks for the article on the 'Wooly Bear' Caterpillar .  I found it most interesting.

Lani, love the cats you posted...that little cat-smacking video is so cute! Sophie is always trying to wrap her arms around Harley. He doesn't quite know what to do...so he usually runs off, although he has hissed a couple of times!

Phyl, glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. Lisa's chicken noodle soup should help! Love the good morning cats in the top hats!

CLYNN  He didn't get the Ozempic from the pharmacy until late yesterday afternoon.  He wants to start it once he and Tom get back from Door county on Wed.  He omits the Januvia once he starts it.  Your grandparents looked very young in that pic and somewhat modern!   That Sophie - Sam is like " What the heck?"   Never thought you could replant a Xmas tree once in the house - they usually get so dry.

(((PHYL)))  Probably Jim's cold??  Lots of old fashion kitties today.  Cool antler sounds 365

LORI came through with a gorgeous anniversary cake for Tig and Camper  ;D   Would love that milkshake for my dinner tonight.  ;)

Clynn - I wish I could have shared my steamed crabs with you.  They were so good.  We got 2 dozen, and have 10 leftover.  Jeff is going to pick them, and make crab cakes with them. Love the renting Christmas tree idea from the entrepreneurs. 

Tsk - Yes, good timing on the steamed crabs.

I've just returned home from a reunion of sorts of my Jr. High School at a local bar/restaurant.
We have it every year.
It was a special school in the Bloomington MN district which was overcrowded (Boomer years) without enough schools.
For me it was heavenly. We had modular scheduling, meaning you got to choose which classes to take ane when. It was like college. I thrived. My twin brother not so much. For me going to high school after that was a step backwards. Meaning it was School scheduled, not student driven.

Twas fun and met a few peeps that were genuinely interesting humans...Some I anticipated to come didn't.
Chris drove me and then picked me up so I left just after dark on a Saturday night.

Anyway, Phyl, thanks for asking. Ollie is doing well on anti-inflammatories and no running/walking. In other words, a sedentary life. I'm counting down the days: 11 more to go!

I'm happy to see him comfortable as far as I can tell...but, it does take a titch more work to keep him calm etc.

Will catch up now on posts.

Have a good evening. I think it's way too hot for this time of year for us...and into the next week. Hoping for fall temps soon.

Lani, I just saw this on FB, posted 8 hours ago:
Dr. Greene - Hi everyone,
We surveyed the river today, and we saw Iris, Finnegan and Antali all fishing.  I also saw a big female chick just down the river - I am pretty sure it was Sum-eh, but she flew off before I could confirm it.  So three, and probably all four of the Hellgate Osprey family are still around.
The fishing technique that they are all using conserves a lot of energy!  They perch on trees right above the river and spend a lot of time peering down into the water.  When they see a fish they can drop right down out of the tree, or else go hover over it until they get it right where they want it.  This method of fishing is very efficient and saves a lot of energy compared to hovering over the water. 
I watched Antali go perch in a tree close to Iris - they were both looking down into the water fishing side-by-side!  Like mother, like son!
Best, Erick Greene and the Montana Osprey Team

tsk, I haven't had any side effects from the Ozempic that I have noticed.  I found a good video that shows how to administer, reading the pages of instructions wasn't helpful to me! See what you think, it was very helpful for me. I refer to it every month because I forget the first step that you do only the first time you start a new pen.  ::)    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tweJ59dIbmY

LANI    Antali is seriously thinking about never leaving  LOL

CLYNN  Thanks for Dr Greene's update.  He sure loves that nest and keeps a close eye on it.   Chicken soup - perfect choice.

Art Wu caught this osprey fishing in my city lake....the lake is in the pic I posted recently across the highway from the Tower's nest..

I'm needing to get busy here mowing the back etc. but there's been something going on across the street from me for now one hour and a half...3 cops, 2 firetrucks, an ambulance and a supervisor. Saw no one wrapped into the ambulance. Now gone but 3 cops...then 2 unmarked vans.

Suspicious now of some kind of domestic> ????usually cops don't show up for plain ol medicals.

Also, Chris is still sleeping...woke up in the middle of the night, couldn't get back to sleep, so now I'm letting him catch up.

So hot today and our neighborhood Party down the big street one block over. Music and lots of people will be floating around from 1-5...Not going this year....been there/done that too many times.

tsk - Maybe? the nicest folks I spoke with live over an hour away....so who knows. Some flew into town from out of state too. But next year is my high school reunion so many of the same folks will be there as last night.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

The Weather Channel has had one of their on-air meteorologists reporting live from one of my area's beaches (Wrightsville Beach) today. LOL... No matter what develops with the low pressure weather system sitting (and sitting) on my coastline, and whether it comes ashore here tomorrow or waits till Tuesday (models disagree still), it's going to be the same result... whether it becomes a named tropical or sub-tropical system or a tropical depression, or not, it will be rain, rain, rain, and plenty of gusty winds. We have been having both of those off and on all day today already - coastal areas primarily today, and then it will move inland after it comes ashore... whenever it decides to make that move. Zippo and I are all good,  :) and only a few preparations have been needed for this low-end system at my place - primarily moving in lightweight things that can blow around. So all good, and fingers crossed it doesn't make for any dangerous flooding for people, and that people take heed and stay out of the ocean , High risk of rip currents are happening now, and will throughout, and lifeguards are no longer on duty at the beaches here. People need to use their good sense and not be tempted to go out into the water. Fingers crosssed all stay safe.  :)


Hugs to All the Beakers today! I hope everyone feeling poorly will feel better and better, and that everyone will enjoy this day! Take care, All. :-*

I very rarely sit at home and watch football on a beautiful Sunday, but I'm still R&Ring from my R&R.   ;)

The cable company now has a new outage map like our power company has, which I didn't even know about until today.
It doesn't discern what is out - phone,cable,internet - it just shows a lot of OUT in the Tri-State area.
The die hard football fans around here are probably going ballistic.   LOL 

The weather is perfect here so it's not that and the outage on the map is so widespread it's not a bonehead that hit a local telephone pole .. our home phone and internet are working just fine and certain channels above a certain # are working .. very weird.   :-\

Lisa, I am jealous of the eating you and Jeff had and will enjoy with the crab cakes!    Went to a rustic place on a river in Maryland a few times and by picking crabs learned why they are so pricey!   What a job!   This place had picnic style tables they covered with newspaper or other paper and then dumped crabs on top.  Gave you hammers, picks, and crackers to  dig out the succulent meat!   So good.   Your choice of adult beverages, soda, coleslaw, corn  or what ever, if you wanted!    Have you had the marinated claws in Mobike?  Totally different thing.
Back is not better.  Will have to get shots if tgere is no improvement!
Tsk, wheredo Tom and Tim stay?  Sounds like they are cooking!  Safe travels and a fun trip.

SKOL Vikings!....up 10 to 0 against the 49ers.....Jefferson just ran a 97 yard touch down :)

With both the Jets and Giants playing 1 o'clock games we have a massive area wide Cable TV only outage here (Optimum -or- today Optimin).    ::) ::)   ???    >:( >:(

I very rarely sit at home and watch football on a beautiful Sunday, but I'm still R&Ring from my R&R.   ;)

The cable company now has a new outage map like our power company has, which I didn't even know about until today.
It doesn't discern what is out - phone,cable,internet - it just shows a lot of OUT in the Tri-State area.
The die hard football fans around here are probably going ballistic.   LOL 

The weather is perfect here so it's not that and the outage on the map is so widespread it's not a bonehead that hit a local telephone pole .. our home phone and internet are working just fine and certain channels above a certain # are working .. very weird.   :-\

In case you don't know some other way: Giants lost 18 to 21, and Jets won 24 to 17

Vikings beat the 49ers 23 to 17

We have an outage map here from comast our internet provider too....

Hope things improve soon for ya...

Lani, yes I just want to cry for the people and their homes and places of work after I saw what happened this week in LaPlace and Reserve, LA, and other places, from Hurricane Francine. Just an awful calamity for those communities! So many of the people there were just really getting back on their feet and in repaired/rebuilt homes and businesses after the devastating Hurricane Ida ruined it all just 3 years ago... it takes many years to come back from that kind of damage, and some people never do. I think many people who have never been in areas that have had to deal with that kind of flooding and damage don't really know how long it takes to get back to normal - it always takes years, and some people never get back to their pre-storm flooding and damage normal life. I'm glad Mike's plant is back running again, and those employees can work and earn income while trying to make their homes livable again, hopefully.  :(  Prayers for all affected by the storms and damages.

Two hurricanes caused devastation in same areas, 3 years apart...

Hurricane Ida, 3 years ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Ida#:~:text=and%20New%20York.-,Louisiana,LaPlace%2C%20Lockport%20and%20Grand%20Isle.

Hurricane Francine, this week:
https://www.npr.org/2024/09/12/g-s1-22243/storm-francine-louisiana-mississippi

https://www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane/hurricane-francine-disrupted-oil-industry-and-roared-ashore-in-louisiana-with-high-winds-flooding/1691417

I agree completely with your quote above Baziunc.
These tropical systems if they affect ones area directly or indirectly can really upend peoples lives for years.
It is a very long hard road to 'full' recovery sometimes.

BUT and a big but here - loss of property and possessions can be dealt with eventually.

Lives lost not so much.

My point is a tropical weather event is usually forecast pretty well in advance as apposed to a 'rapid spin up weather event'.

Meaning you can usually take some precautions beforehand to mitigate really bad outcomes from topical systems.

A) Educate yourself on tropical storms and the NHC products.
B) The correct Insurance for your location and situation.
   I know it's expensive but you're you know what with out it from the get go if one of these systems creeps into your wheelhouse. 
C) Know the vulnerability/s at your location to direct and indirect impacts from a tropical system inland or at the coast.

Simple things like common sense go a long way towards saving lives.

It ain't like the good old days of weather via ham radio.

My list of common sense survival shit is way to long to post here hence I'm still posting here.

Bloody beautiful this 9/15 evening at sunset here really. Truly.
Temp 68° F   
Perfect dew point.

No bugs but there is a riot of chirpy chippy Eastern Flying Squirrels bouncing off the Oak and Tulip trees.

Baz I know not so much for you and Zippo. 
It's just going to be a piss aunt as my NC guru would say.
   
# ONE have an up to date 'bug out bag' with all the really important stuff ready to go always no matter where you live in our great country the United States of America.   

Evacuate when told to by so by your local authorities. If you have not
Hide from the wind.
Run away from the water.
Turn around don't drown.  Yada Yada Yada  ..  unheeded by way to many dead people.

So so many lives lost drowning - storm surge - playing in the RED FLAG surf - inland flooding - turn around don't DROWN.

Way way to many so so sad
     
Pip and I have both been through our fair share of "Tropical Stuff" in the CONUS over the years and that is why we.
Always keep an eye on the tropics especially at this time of year here in the NE.
We certainly don't focus on the track line or the cone even.
I don't pay much attention to a storms Hurricane Category or "Storm Type" either as I've seen wicked weather and it's devastating affects happen well away from all of them.

Hurricane Ida 2021 a now retired name.

A Cat 4 at landfall 30 lives lost in Louisiana.

A something unnamed weather event "remnant" lost 32 lives here in New Jersey.

I have never ever seen rain fall like that before and I have seen me some sideways buckets of.

BL, thanks for sharing your information, your wise thoughts and map. Interesting seeing where Mike's plant is located between the storms.

Baz, Thanks for the links and understanding of what it is like for LaPlace and surrounding parish. Some residents have not yet recovered from Hurricane Ida. But, they continue to live and survive, Mike says they are good hearted and hard working people....   what a football game today! Though, a win is a win for KC Chiefs! But Whew!!! .. oh no, another storm.  :( {{{You and Zippo}}} take care.  :-*

Tig, I haven't heard the words "Gitche Gumee" since I was a little kid listening to a Bugs Bunny cartoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRlLYEkJZM0

Good night Beakers!

9/15 Today Sum-eh is 95 days old and Antali is 90. It is the first day we haven't seen a fish delivered since 4/29 when Finnegan brought the first fish to Iris. ❤️
Antali was last seen on the nest at 11:07am looking for possible scraps of fish, and Iris did her quick visit early this morning.  :-*
All is quiet on the nest there is no Antali keeping watch and no osprey flying in the beautiful sunset skies tonight! [/size]

Lani, so I wonder if Iris and Antali have headed south for good, I just checked the nest and no one is home. I think if Antali were still here he would be on the perch... My heart goes out to those who have to get their lives back together after a disaster. Seems like so many disasters lately... We need all the water deluging the south to be sent to the fires in the west... If only it could work that way.

baz, thanks for the additional bird migration info!

tsk, sounds like you are all set to relax this week!

tig, I remember another little poem I memorized back in school for some reason. It's not the long poem 'The Song of Hiawatha' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, but a small portion of it, re-worded a bit.

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.

Moab, Utah - Journey along the scenic byways of Moab, Utah, where the Colorado River carves its path alongside towering red rock cliffs. This captivating landscape offers a stunning contrast between the vivid turquoise waters and the deep, iron-rich hues of the canyon walls.

Phyl - indeed I am always grateful when it's over, including when I walk some of it myself.

Thankfully, I had the A/C on almost constantly yesterday which muted the sounds.

Lots of traffic on my street therefore, and bands playing music up and down the 7 blocks.

During 2020 it was cancelled due to Covid. It's taken a full 4 years to fully recover like this year.
More bands and food vendors I hear this year and people!

Sugar gliders: I remember when a patient of mine told me his daughter wanted to buy one as a pet. I'm not even sure if that's legal. We have flying squirrels here and people frequently post pics of them.
They aren't the same as sugar gliders though.

another hot one today. Will be watering today, grr. Rains head in at the end of the week which is good news as it's been hot and dry now for weeks.

Yesterday, close to 90 with high dew points. Similar most of this week. Our average temps this time of year are low 70's for highs and mid 50's for lows...We have a ways to go before average temps come in.

Paulie  I made myself a note - but I think I still forgot to answer your questions to me re the cataract surgery.

Yes, there was a followup treatment with the prep meds - but it also had to go with the new times for the second eye.  I was told to start back in a week to prepare for that one.  And then to finish off after the second eye with any remaining prescription.

Is there already a date scheduled for the second?

karen - I missed the game, but Jeff did tell me about it.

clynn - Another beautiful pic to add to my list....Moab, Utah  Love all your morning pics and colors!

I hope I am caught up, but I feel like I have forgot something.

I found the Utah drive verrrry interesting too, Lisa.  Had to make a copy to share with one of the street people, uh block people Friday.  One lady has a partner, a pro movie filmer (cinematographer?), does the filming, but also loves the sites of the world.  Ya know that got me/us started comparing notes.  I had just checked the Beak and saw the Moab - had to make a copy so they can see my latest must go see/drive.  Thanks for posting the Moab paulie.  I'll share the pic copy with them.

My fav memories of Utah - Dad was born in Salt Lake City.  I also remember, maybe I was about 12, when we took one of our frequent rides back west.  We drove up to see the Lake.  At that time there was still something to see.  Mostly evaporated away now.  Anyway we took play time in the water - when we got out and dried our legs were white, paper white.  Felt real funny too as I recall.   :o

Nice too was to meet Erica's friend.  His heritage is Asian Indian, and Chinese.  He's seen some great parts of the world.

Two mysteries, how did that salted water lake get there?  Another puzzler - they have found seashells in the desert in Arizona.

All good at my house... glug glug... lots and lots and lots of rain, and wind... higher gusts were at 60 mph officially in town, and higher at the beaches... over 9 inhes of rain in 6 hrs earlier today, and counting, just to my west. And 13-plus inches of rain in the last 12 hours, and counting, immediately to my south (by about 4 or 5 miles or less), and probably more than half that amount has fallen so far at my house, though I don't have a specific measurement yet. It's still raining, and the weather radio just blared another flood warning for my area, and said to expect another 3 inches of rain. I'm sure some nearby places will get more, where the bands have been the heaviest and training over the same places for hours upon hours. Clynn, yes, I wish it could be falling on all those awful wildfires! . Lots of roads closed due to water on them, including a main US Hwy between here and Myrtle Beach, in both directions, due to water on it. Main road in a nearby beach town has 3 feet of water on it, from raining, not storm surge. Flash flooding all around. Water in structures and cars in many places. My power has not gone out, so far. Yay. My home and car is above the high water mark. Yay. A number of tornado reports - none came closer to me than about 3 miles, so far, fingers crossed. Not sure if any caused any significant damage, and no reports of such so far, so hopeful no one's property or lives were affected by those tropical tornadoes. I am safe and dry.

Prayers for all in the path of the severe storms. Prayers for all in the path of the horrible fires out west.

Take care, Beakers. Hugs all around.  :-*

This is Eve. I follow Niall Harbison's twiiter account daily. He saves tons of wild dogs in Thailand.
This is just one of them that brought tears to my eyes...She was burnt but 9 months later she is healed and in Wales climbing mountains. Also raising money for Niall to build a hospital. There are many abused wild dogs in Thailand.

He is just incredible. I've followed him and his pups for a long time.

Enjoy if you want to smile!

BAZI  And we are so dry here the lawns are turning brown!!!  That is one heck of a lot of rain.  Thank you for the update that you are OK  Zippo didn't have to get his life jacket one  Phew! ;) ;)

LISA  I am usually getting a small reaction to any shot I get.  So far 8 hours have gone by and my deltoid isn't even sore.  Timed it so, that if I have any reaction it will be during the night as I have to be up and out by 8:15 tomorrow  LOLOL

Lani tks for Hellgate update. Always enjoy them.


I was so excited about this last night---didn't sleep much...
Well...made it to my appointment with Elite Sports Meds in Green Hills, TN. for  'Euflexxa SOSY 20 mg/2ml per knee commencing w/ my right
as it's the  worst.  One round  behind me  and two to go. LOL
 Doc said Most folks  feeling improve ment takes a few days---sometimes not until the 2nd injection.  I will say I've felt some 'loosening up' of the knee
joints. Doc also said some  have improvement lasting a year . I'll just be thrilled if after this series I get 6mos lasting relief. But, I'll take longer---of course. Probably,  the middle of NeXT week I'll go back to walking. It's been a 5 year hiatus for me.
OMG!  The world could be much more dangerous---I''ll be pack'n come pepper spray  at least.
I'm just so excited about being able to get back in my old routine and getting  these extra 15 lbs off me.

Lotsa learnin' from the Beak today thanks to Phyl and OG.  Smell something burning.  LOL

I seem to recall the 1960's for The House on the Rock OG.  What I didn't recall was the small, dark and dank feeling.  A lot of changes now from what I remember.  It was nothing this big or innovating back then. 

I also didn't remember at all the closed, tight, scary feeling of my claustrophobia reaction!  Seriously, how did I do that - couldn't even finish watching your link.  Ugly wow  :-X

Sauces Bald Eagles - Channel Islands
Sept. 11, 2024 8:4 4 AM
Camera time: Sept. 11, 2024 6:44 PDT

Looks like  Audacity
(https://files.explore.org/sn/2024/9/11/20240911T134418_3194259.ts.jpg)



The Sauces Canyon nest, located at the top of a 40-foot Monterey cypress tree, has been active since 2008. Jak (male) and Audacity (female) have been breeding here together since 2014. See the entire nesting history at: https://www.iws.org/sauces-nest-history .

Again, another sad heartbreaking season for this wonderful pair of bald eagles. This nest captured my heart . I pray that one day it will return  it's former prosperity.


2024 NEST EVENTS:

First Clutch
2/2: First egg laid around 15:10.
2/16: Camera back online and still one egg. Expected hatch 3/10-3/22.
We don't know if this is the original egg or not....or how many eggs may have been laid, so it could be later.

3/16: Egg broken. 💔 No apparent cause.

Second Clutch

4/11: First egg around 18:20:40. This is the first time a Channel Islands’ eagle is known to have laid a second clutch after incubating a first clutch for more than 2-3 weeks.

4/12: Egg broken by 10:25. 💔

4/15: Second egg laid around 15:03. Broken immediately. 💔

4/18: Third egg laid and broken immediately around 16:02. 💔

4/21: Forth egg laid at 18:06. Broken by 19:09. 💔

4/26: Fifth egg laid and broken immediately at 17:09. 💔

Oh I need some emotional support today ;)..It's been a week tomorrow without walking Ollie man nor letting him run in the back yard...run is not really the correct word. More like sprint round and round chasing chipmunks and squirrels sometimes off the top of the yard...

He's seemingly fine now after almost a week of rimadyl...suppose to wait a WHOLE another week!...today is too hot. Tomorrow as well....but, after that me feels me wanting to "save" the poor guy who has been real cheeky being a couch potato, but I know he's bored out of his mind.

We don't let him play inside with ball either as it gets the "zoomies" started.

Poor guy....oh I'm so tempted to at least start short walks back up when it cools down in a few days.

What say you all? He has a total of 14 days of rimadyl, hence the bed rest for that long. Done on the 25th.

Do docs really know? esp when they only surmised what was wrong with him.

There are only about 700 Whooping Cranes in existence in the entire world.  They are one of the rarest birds in all of North America. There must be something extra-special about Minnesota that this Whooping Crane I photographed two days ago, on September 15th, is the very same one I first saw here and had the honor of photographing in June when a farmer friend who knows my passion for birds told me he had an almost 5 foot tall white bird in one of his fields.  The International Crane Foundation knows her whereabouts because of the cellular transmitter on her legs.  She was born last year in Wisconsin, spent the winter in Indiana, made a brief visit to a Chicago suburbs, went back to Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin, then followed the curve of the Wisconsin River into NE Iowa, and then into Minnesota where I've now had the astronomically almost impossible odds of witnessing her two times now over the span of 3 months.  Her assigned number by the ICF is 16-23, and they named her "Animal."  I affectionately call her, "Her Majesty."  Every time I have seen her, she has been in the company of Sandhill Cranes.  Here they are flying together over a partially harvested Minnesota cornfield for silage.  What a gift that Her Majesty has called Minnesota her home for the entire summer.— in Minnesota.

Top Flat chick is 238 days old and weighs 10.4 kg. Average fledging age is 240 days. There was no weight for Top Flat chick last week. He was 9.7 kg the previous weigh day. The average weight for a 238-day old male toroa is 9.2 kg. He may have been fed out of view a couple of times in the last week.

Top Flat Track chick is 230 days old and weighs 9.5 kg. There was no weight for Top Flat Track chick last week. A bolus of squid beaks and one small fragment of hard plastic was found over the weekend where Top Flat Track chick had spent much time. At his last weigh 2 weeks ago, he was 9.1 kg. The average weight for a 230-day old male toroa is 9.5 kg. BOK fed her chick after weighing today.

Royal Albatross ~ CHICK FIGHT AT TOP FLAT! TFT Defends His Territory After BOK Arrives Home! 9.16.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaNO6ZecUtI

Sep 15, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
Early in the morning, we see TFT at his nest and another neighbor chick over to the left . TF announces his presence by running & flapping into view! TF heads over to TFT who is sleeping and looks around. TFT wakes up & clacks at TF for disturbing him. TF doesn't feel much like socializing so he turns around & heads back to his nest.

An hour later, BOK arrives close to TF and he comes over to her. She gives him a quick little clack warning, then heads over to TFT to begin a feeding. The other neighbor chick sees BOK and he runs to her to try and get a feeding but TFT snaps at him and defends his territory and feeding with BOK. Chick fight at Top Flat! TFT is boss and he sends the message to the other chick to scram and it does go beneath the hill.

TFT gets a feeding from BOK and TF comes over and is a gentleman as he watches the feeding from a respectable distance. When BOK is finished, she heads over to the neighbor chick who is at the far left and begins to preen its head. TFT is frustrated for BOK ending the feeding and to see all these other chicks around so he starts in with TF & clacks at him. TF turns and goes back to his nest. Then TFT goes over to BOK and the other chick and he has another chick fight with it - sending the neighbor away from his territory. TFT is the boss! Thank you for watching!

PHYL  Squirrel tickling mouse nose  ;D   I remember mystery island from the first go around - so eerie  365
Seems we've been saying this from the beginning - Something in the environment is causing the eggs to break - something the eagles are eating.???  Hopefully some investigation is ongoing?  Looking back at the history - only a few have hatched and fledged for years now.

LISA   Boys heading back a day early - Seems Tim was so sick last night - suspicious food poisoning.  We shall see.  I have not spoken with him.

KB  I vote for a short walk on a short leash- maybe two times on cooler days.   Thanks for post Bryce's piece - How exciting for him.

A long scroll of some photos from today’s flooding and storm damage around my region. You should be able to close the pop-up covering it and view without a subscription. I could.

Yikes on the flooding in your area Baz.
All those washed out roads are going to create some travel headaches for folks in that area.

I don't know your exact location there, but with this tool you can get a pretty good idea of how much rain fell in your neighborhood.

It's radar estimated rainfall in inches from the past 72 hrs.
Scroll the page down and check the box next to Product Readout > then hover cursor on map at your location to get your rainfall amount.

I saw a readout of over 22 inches (light blue on legend) in an area that I believe is just SW of you !!   :o
I think you got about 8 - 9" by you.

Tig glad you both are home 'safe & sound'

Karen those are cute sheds I like the first one too

Lisa thanks recovery will take some time. But seems like a brand new world has opened up for me.  I  could just cry for joy.

Phyl, glad about your injections! That story was from a Wilmington newspaper, but not most of those pictures. Those photos are from 3 different counties - most all  of them are NOT in Wilmington. But a Wilmington newspaper did the coverage that included those pics. Most of those pics are from several towns in two counties near the county that Wilmington is in.

CLYNN   Rain maybe Monday   Only .04" all month so far

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EAGLES

((TSK)), nope! Most of that damage is immediately to my south and west. And some of it is immediately to my east. The area north of me had almost zero damage!  P.S. I live in North Carolina.  ;)  I hope your soreness is better fast!! Hugs.

Phyl, there was some bad flooding in Wilmington, but most of those pictures are not in Wilmington at all. Almost all of those photos were from other towns in 2 different counties near the county that Wilmington is in. Maybe you thought they were in Wilmington because it was a Wilmington newspaper that posted them?

Thanks, BL. I use a tool that gives me that data for my location. My neighborhood got about 9 inches of rain, or a little more - maybe 10 inches - best I can tell right now. The rain amounts were so specific to the exact banding location, and so just a few blocks made a big difference in rain amounts in some places under the larger training bands.

(((TSK and Tim))) I just read about Tim being so sick! I hope it doesn't last very long. Hugs to you both!  :-*

Lani, great story from the Albie chicks, neighbor chick, and BOK!!  :D I just love seeing and reading about those big babies!! :-* :-*

Lisa, I hope you don't get too much rain and wind, but I know it's coming your way very soon, if it isn't there already. I haven't had much time to check the current weather map. You and Jeff stay high and dry!

Waving to All the Beakers!! :)


I attached a picture off the TV during an area's mid-day news today that shows some of the area rainfall totals. You can see how different it is between nearby towns - it all depends on whether the town was right under one of the heavy, mostly stationary, rain bands that trained rain over the same places for hours and hours.

I also attached a picture showing some of the beach erosion at one of the area's beaches - only a few miles from me... that particular beach town had very little flooding in town, but the oceanfront beach erosion from the pounding high surf was awful.  :(

This is Eve. I follow Niall Harbison's twiiter account daily. He saves tons of wild dogs in Thailand.
This is just one of them that brought tears to my eyes...She was burnt but 9 months later she is healed and in Wales climbing mountains. Also raising money for Niall to build a hospital. There are many abused wild dogs in Thailand.

He is just incredible. I've followed him and his pups for a long time.

Enjoy if you want to smile!

awww Little Eve, bless her and her new family. I am a faithful follower of Niall too. What a special man, his staff, Thailand vet, and families that helps him feed over 800 street dogs a day.

Lisa thanks for posting that link for Karen. What a terrible storm. :(

{{{Karen}}} I hope you feel better... How frightening for the children when water started to come into the schools... the homes, vehicles, businesses...  I'm thinking of all the stray animals, birds too.  :(

{{{Baz and Zippo}}} I hope the weather is drier today.. the photos you shared was horrendous. The roads will not be a quick fix. I'm glad you and Zippo are okay...

Clynn, yes, the younger bears are taking advantage and catching up on their food intake at night.... They say Iris may still be there with Finn. There was a photo of her on the dead tree today.... I'm so proud of the younger Antali.  :-* ..... stunning view of the Smoky Mountains.

Tsk I hope your shoulder feels better :-* Oh, Tsk, I just read your post about Tim. I'm so sorry he's had to be hospitalized. Sending prayers for you both.

Lori, beautiful birthday post for Eagles! I hope you and Destini are well.  :-*

Kb, stunning pics of the northern lights... beautiful photo of the Whooping Cranes... I'd go on short slow walks, but you and vet would know best.

Thanks BL

Good Morning...

Currently: 67F partly  cloudy , High  85F mostly cloudy,  with  Low 67F

Hope everyone had a pleasant evening and a good night's rest.
This afternoon my PT starts for my knees and right leg.   ;D


Re;Sauces nest Channel Islands CA-- this is my favorite nest to watch and several years back that nest area was exposed to DDT. It had been 'cleaned out' . However there is some residue.
 Despite best efforts in relocating the nest, Jak and Audacity insist on nesting in the old  location. Hence, the thin shells and nonviable eggs.
Whatever to do...



{{{Tsk}}} So sorry to read bout Tim's illness  and hospitalization. Pls keep us posted.  prayers

KB Enjoyed the Whooping Crane article/pboto;I know this is late response to your query about Ollie and his walks and I’m a cat person--maybe follow the vet's guidance with  what you alone know of  Ollie  and what makes him happy.

Lani next Monday , 23rd is my second injection for both knees. I'll have another 48 hrs. light activity so the gel can 'settle' in the joint.
Same for the last injection of Euflexxa  on 30th of this month.    " The joy of movement."  ;) 
   

Hi Eagles I hope you had a wonderful celebration

{{{Karen}}}  hoping the day finds your back improved; flooding is such a concern schools and  wildlife esp. as few think of them

Phyl, beautiful 365, what a light show! Good luck with your PT today!  I have read that there are many DDT chemical dump sites off the southern CA coast, I wonder if Sauces is close to one, so close that the fish are tainted.

Lani, awww, Iris doesn't want to leave just yet, she has had such a wonderful season with her new love and her babies! It has been 10 years since she has been so happy! Love the sleeping whippets!

tsk, oh no, Tim in the hospital! This came on suddenly? Glad they made it home safely, prayers for Tim for sure... Sounds like you took one look at him when he got home and whisked him off to the ER! Nothing worse than being sick and not at home.

baz, oh my, the water in your area! I just cannot imagine!! I am glad you didn't get the worst as so many did. Sure wish we could send all that water out west to put out the fires. I am so glad you and Zippo are safe! All those pictures, what an awful mess for all the people living through it...The picture of the beach erosion is awful, I just can't imagine!

karen and baz - Yesterday was gloomy and humid, no rain. It started with a light rain around 4am, and has been raining since then.

kb - I would say a very short walk, with no pulling or straining to make his situation worse.

Lani - Thanks for the Royal update...chick fight  ;D

tsk - Did Tim start his Ozempic before he left to go with Tom?  Just curious, as a few years ago my doc put me on Victoza a weekly shot and it make me so sick that I could not eat, felt nauseated all day, and even had muscle aches from it.  I was having a reaction to it.  Stopped it and felt better after a week.  Not sure if Ozempic has any kind of side effects like that or not, as I am not familiar with it, other than hearing about the weight loss. --- Oh no, reading your other post about Tim hospitalized.  Prayers coming for him! 

oldguy - Thanks for all the videos.  :)

E4E - Good to see you!  Hope you had a very Happy Birthday!

Lani - You're welcome.   :)  Love that good night pic.

Phyl -  Love your morning pic.  Thanks for the 365

Interesting services this morning.  Got a notice last week telling us they'd be doing updating on system.  Gave us a heads up for today.  Sure enough; both cable and internet was out of use.  Went off at 7, back on about 10.  We simply had to power off and restart when they phoned a message back that things were  finished.  I wonder how massive of an area.  Notice came addressed to my address. 

Seemed well planned and it worked.  Had service since 1970's.  Never had this before.  Let's see what new goodies we have?

A long scroll of some photos from today’s flooding and storm damage around my region. You should be able to close the pop-up covering it and view without a subscription. I could.

https://www.starnewsonline.com/picture-gallery/news/local/2024/09/16/tropical-conditions-in-wilmington-nc-bring-heavy-rain-and-wind/75246322007/

oh Baz, just terrible. How is your neighborhood, especially the wetlands near you.

Lani, my neghborhood stayed above the flooding, and no significant damage that I'm aware of, other than some branches down - leaf and limb litter only. I'm very thankful. The natural wetland behind me looks unscathed, other than high water, and the retention pond did its job, overtopping only briefly in a couple of low spots that didn't cause any flooding. I still want to walk to a couple of other neighborhood wetland spots to see how they look - I've been waiting on the water to recede a bit before doing that - wildlife is somewhat disturbed, and I'm not wanting to tangle with any of it while it's in a bad mood.  ;) :D  I'll probably walk over and check out those spots over the weekend.

Music Players: A Brief History
Doug W Benson© Doug W Benson


There once was a disk called a record
Played on vinyl with a stylus connector
Known for hisses and pops
And scratches on top
Cryptic messages when they're played backward?

Next came the track with an eight
Only Boomers seem to relate
'Twas the first in a car
Played on loop; how bizarre
"Oh you liked that song? You'll have to wait!"

More popular, a tape called cassette
With a Walkman and skates you were set
You could finally rewind
But you'd oft lose your mind
'Cause the ribbons in knots they would get

Then came the disk that's compact
Just press "back" or "repeat" or "next" track
You would organize for hours
Thanks to cases and towers
Be careful! Don't scratch, smudge or crack!

MP3 was what followed next
"Pod," "Shuffle," "Mini"- all hexed
Though mobile and thin
Born too close to their kin
So their lifespan was set to be vexed

Then an Apple took its place on the throne
And from that point we'd never be alone
With a tooth that is blue
Meaning wireless too
Who'd of thought we'd have music on our phone?

So, truthfully, will it be that long,
Before our ears have the power of song?
With a light infrared
From the chip in our head?
Guess we'll see what A.I. brings along!

If you're only lonely.

He crushed his ribs hitting the steering wheel..I bounced around inside the vehicle...and then became a Chiropractor as that's the only tx that helped me.

Traveling behind us was Don Henley and a friend of mine. We had stopped at a famous person's house on the beach first before we headed out to Sunset Blvd.

Yes, he was THE song writer in the 70's....I was in my early 20's...

Scott and I went to see him in the 2000's here at the Cedar Riverside Cultural Center and he met with us back stage.
He had left CA and said he now drove a Volvo...was fun to hear he had left the chaos of CA and "the life"

yes, RIP

PHYL  YAY  good to hear about the PT starting along with those knee injections!  Jim won't be able to keep up with you   ;) ;)

LISA  We were to start the Ozempic tomorrow but seeing as this situation has developed it may be a lucky thing as Ozempic is really contra-indicated with or can cause gall baldder issues.

KB  Have seen that dog yoga before - amazing  And isn't that just like a cat LOLOL

PUFF  Tim and his brother Tom were in Door County for what should have been a 3 night stay  :(

BAZI  Yes the hospital is about 5 minutes away.

Do not care to report the daily dribs and drabs of what he is going through but the food poisoning could have been a red herring leading to the discovery of and very infected gall bladder.  Tests, tests, - tomorrow hope to speak to the doc about the game plan.  More later.  Finally he got to have water tonight before I left and "clear" meal.

Thank you as always for your kind thoughts and prayers.  He hates being in the hospital - don't we all.

We were driving home on N87 and could see smoky skies about 80 miles from home. We drove into Payson and saw the below! This was unexpected. We did not realize the West Fire north of Payson and 4 miles from Pine was nearing our town. Today, Tonto National Forest rangers are doing backfires on our side. I pray it works.

Here you see the West Fire to the North of Payson and the Preacher Fire to the east of Payson. Both started by lightning in August. Our area has been bothered by the smoke coming from the Preacher Fire.

Lani, the Hellgate nest looks so lonely...but what a wonderful season we have had! And how we are looking forward to another one! Sounds like you and Mike had a good day in the Valley. But the close fires! I hate seeing it so close to you! May the wind keep it away from Payson. I hope they can get it contained quickly! Beautiful picture of the smokey skies in Payson!

tsk, seems Tim just can't get a break! I hope they can take care of the issue quickly so he can get home. Yes, possible gall bladder side effects go with the Ozempic, I asked my Dr. about that and she said she has seen one case in the 8 years she has prescribed meds with this particular ingredient. Good that the hospital is so close! You need to go to the Dairy Queen this afternoon, between visits to the hospital!

Phyl, beautiful good night pic! How is your knee, is it both of them?  Cute poem about the music players, we remember them all!

karen - We did not get any flooding. It was a nice light rain most of the day.  It stopped just in time for Jeff to grill.  ;D

kb - RIP J D Souther.  Very cool pics of the pelicans in flight.

tsk - Thank goodness Tim did not start the Ozempic yet.  I hope you all get some answers today after his tests.  Thinking of you both, and wishing Tim a speedy recovery!   ((HUGS))

Lani - Oh no, the fires so close to you!  I hope it does not come any closer.  Be safe!  Sounds like you had a great day in the valley.   :D

clynn - LOL, how funny, the deer returned with friends for treats!  :D

Phyl - Hope all goes well at PT.  Pretty morning pics.  Thanks for the 365.

Well, I guess I'm not driving Nellie until fixed!...my 2000 Jeep grand cherokee with only 65,000 miles on it.

Yesterday while idling at a stop light close to home she just turned off. Put in park and started her and voila.

Today, after driving her to a bank nearby and on my way home, she shut off while making a turn onto my home road at an intersection, uncontrolled. But again put her in park, started once again and made it home.

I will not drive her again. Will take her across the street in the am and have them diagnose her condition.
If I make it ;) ;)
They are busy but promised to fit her in to at least diagnose.

Between they and my own research: A number of problems: fuel line?, or sensor? or spark plug?

Let's pray I make it safely a block away and it's simple....

(((TSK))), I'm sending prayers your way for you and (((Tim))). I hope you get news today of a plan to cure Tim's condition, and that he will be able to start on the road to healing and recovery soon! Hugs to both of you. I hope you can get some rest... and a Blizzard.  ;)  One of my sisters had to get her painful and sudden gall bladder infection cleared up, and then it was removed. All went well and she was soon good as new. I know you're still waiting on a dx and plan for Tim, but I hope it is something that can be "fixed" soon! Meanwhile, I hope he can get some pain relief soon... just awful to have to endure that.  Take care. Hugs, and wishes for comfort and rest for you both.  :-*

Waving to All the Beakers!


Clynn, what a great story and photo of the deer and the peanut bar!  ;D :-* :-*

Lisa, oh, so glad y'all didn't get serious rain or weather!

KB, glad you made it back home okay. I hope you get news of a simple and inexpensive fix! When one of my cars did that, years ago, it turned out to be some trash in the fuel line, and it was an easy fix. I don't remember the details of that now - from 40 years ago - but seems like draining the gas tank and fuel line and putting in a new fuel filter did the trick. Fingers crossed!!

BL and KB, RIP JD.  :(

Love the portrait of him in this article, which also has an excellent bio:

and:

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/jd-souther-best-songs-eagles-linda-ronstadt-1235105243/

Phyl, are you getting injections in both knees at the same time? Yay for it helping so much!

((Karen)), I'm hoping your back is some better. Do you think you will try another injection? Hugs, I hope you can get more comfortable soon.

Tig, thank you for reminding me that Door County is in Wisconsin. I always think of it as being in Michigan's U.P. for some reason.  ::)


I hope all the Midwest Beakers, and All, stay safe if you get any severe storms later today or tonight.


Peace. SED.

karen - The gentle rain did give the ground a good soaking.  How is your back feeling?

Lani - Oh no, sorry about your post, and Mike's zoom meeting.  Aww, the pics of the yearling.

kb - I hope your vehicle is a easy and inexpensive fix.  I have been waiting for more than half a year for a Honda recall to be done on my car.  I am at the mercy of Honda, unless I want to pay for it and then be reimbursed.  No, thank you, I will wait!

Thanks Baz,  :-* we think the interruptions are caused by the activity going on with the West fire. It's been better since mid-afternoon.
I hope you've had sunny days, I bet the humidity is high too.

Clynn, Love the deer story, sweet face! LOL!!! Our internet gave us trouble today, lost connection several times. This happened three years ago when Pine had another fire go near their area. Payson connects with the fiber optic cable that runs from the valley up through Strawberry/Pine etc. Our Town Council is working to get a contract to connect to the east instead. I can't stop watching Hellgate, an osprey was on Iris's Dead Tree most of the day. So someone from the family is still here. Finn, Antali and Sum-eh have not returned to the nest.

Phyl, love your morning photos, especially the magnificent Stags from the ground.... That particular fire is 39% contained. No worries so far. Talons crossed! .... gorgeous bug on nature video...

Karen Yes, the backfires seem to be working. Our HOA does a yearly Fire Alert program in the spring with Tonto National Forest. So we have a prep bag, and know which roads we are to use when we evacuate... .. sorry your 96% humidity is awful, UGH! :(.     Here's a SWFL video from Lady Hawk for you!

Well, I got my car back yesterday! She's all fixed, and I have a lot of errands to run today! Erin and Ed had taken it to a friend of Erin's that had worked in Ford's Service department for years, he was going to charge me $2500 vs. the $3600 both Ford dealerships wanted to replace the turbo booster. We got the same diagnostic result from both. Well, it turned out the turbo thing was separating...but it was because a nut for a bolt was missing. John replaced it. The total bill - $230.05. I am going to write a letter to Ford, and to the dealerships requesting my diagnostic fee of $179 be refunded. I now have a mechanic I trust!

Lani, I am so relieved to hear that the fires are under control and that the city is thinking ahead! Thanks for the video of SWFL, but how in the world did one of them get that HUGE log into the nest???  Maybe if fell into the nest from above? They don't seem to be bothered by it...yet.  Do they think Iris is still around?  Here is a great article that was posted on their FB page:   https://www.kpax.com/news/missoula-county/the-remarkable-summer-of-iris-the-osprey-comes-to-a-close-in-missoula?fbclid=IwY2xjawFaOuJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHRrw7WImdExr5yznZhHLrcQrk7tyFsGhv6TCZU2AWvKjPWeVj7pSwZWDjg_aem_I4virZUNeY9N8a-PrUumkw

tig, great pictures from Camper! Love all the beautiful things to look at!

baz, we had a little bit of rain yesterday and last night, I did hear a lot of thunder but it was mostly bark and no bite!

tsk, prayers for Tim and for a quick procedure so he will feel good again! I am guessing that they will probably remove the gall bladder. Kay had gall bladder issues  years ago, not sure if it was infected but they removed it out-patient and she slept several hours on my couch after the surgery. Two weeks recovery time, no work. Hopefully it will be even better for Tim...

Did you know that?  · The Interstate 80 (I-80) is one of the longest and busiest highways in the United States, stretching approximately 2,900 miles (4,667 km) and connecting San Francisco, California, with Teaneck, New Jersey. It crosses 11 states and spans diverse landscapes, from the Sierra Nevada mountains to the Midwest plains, passing through cities like Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Omaha, Chicago, and Cleveland. It follows part of the Oregon Trail and the Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental road. It is vital for freight transportation, though winter closures can occur due to heavy snowfall. The I-80 links the western and northeastern U.S., facilitating transit through various climates and regions. I-80 is just a couple of blocks from my house. You could wave at me when you go by!

GOOD MORNING

LANI  speaking of Trader Joes - Have you found that cookie box mix - a cookie that has everything in it  :D  I forget the title - It was on the end cap of a row the other day - I make them a bit smaller so I get about 22 or so.  That way I can give Tim 1/day  LOL  You sure accomplish a lot on a very efficient trip.  WOW  super scary about the fire.  Keep us posted.  Like the map.  I'm a visual person   ;) ;)

CLYNN   LOLOL the deer in the Colorado shop - then brings family   ;D ;D ;D ;D    God bless Erin's friend!!  Gosh darn - Who can you trust!!!  Get that letter out pronto!!  My brother the geographer loves telling us about all the hwys.  He has a photographic memory.

PHYL  Stunning fall photos this AM.  You're getting PT  5 days a week??  :o  How did the first session go?

KB   Sure hope that is a simple fix on the Jeep.  We got the dribbles from the big storm that missed you.  Lasted about 3 minutes at 6 AM  We so need rain.

TIG  Good job - Glad your photos transfer worked.  Many of those are familiar from our family camping trip eons ago. ( Rushmore and Devil's Tower for two)    Loved the porch sunset - WOW and the gravestone of the 7th cavalry horse cemetery.  Bison are so huge close up.  :o

LISA  What is the recall on your Honda?  Do they call you to come in for the fix?

OK  for All the gall bladder fans out there:    The gall bladder is too infected now to remove.  A catheter was placed in it yesterday to drain "the infection"  Material cultured to make sure all bacteria is covered by the 2 antibiotics he is being given.  Questionable how long he will have this - for sure a month - maybe 6 weeks before it will be removed and that has to coordinate with being off his blood thinners a prescribed number of days.  Normally surgery is an out-patient event - but like the back surgery he just had, they kept him overnight.   Time will tell.   He became horribly confused late afternoon yesterday - scary.  Likely a combination of the morphine for right shoulder pain - a consequence of the gall bladder as it refers it's pain the to that shoulder ( learn something every day) and the versed and fentanyl he was given during the procedure - not quite out of his system.  Tim has a very low tolerance for pain - Anyway,  they were going to put a 2 bed alarms on for night time.  We shall see this AM how it all turned out  Again your prayers are what allows me to sleep and get through each day.  :-* :-* :-* :-*   Today I need to have him out of bed and in a chair and make sure some PT gets ordered.  He won't go home til white blood cell count in down in normal ranges and diabetes is controlled.

The Pallas cat...Far North of Central Asia is where this cat is from.

Awe tsk...yes, right shoulder pain which I have is a co-symptom of gall bladder disease. Believe me, I've found myself wondering myself...just wondering but still.

Hoping his white blood cells return to normal quickly. But, at the end of the day, a better dx than could have been considering how you described his look early on...I'm happy for that.

Baz - thanks for the links to JD Souther. I particularly love the Rolling Stone piece with 10 videos/songs embedded. Good stuff.

I'm attempting to drive the Jeep up to the shop after 9am when traffic would be slower just in case it stalls on me. Will walk home and then hopefully have it still in me to take Ollie man for a short walk...his first

Clynn... Great you found someone to find the correct fix for your vehicle!
Yes, I usually post my pics from my Chromebook file, no problem. I was getting a message that the forum platform was having an error. Kind of like my cable box, I just waited for "things" to be right.  :o
Hopefully, Camper will have some of his pics to me soon.
Similarly... lately, when I want our Google Home assistant to turn on a light or something, I need to speak in a low to voice! Camper is bemused. I speak normally and she says something is wrong. Lol.

got my first walk in with Ollie man...he's fine. The dogs are out in their yards in full force today as temps are less humid and a titch cooler.

Also got my Jeep up to the mechanic without it stalling while turning into it on a busy road!...whew.

There she will sit until they have time to explore what's wrong with a call hopefully to me later today.
they are really busy and I saw every stall had a vehicle already inside it.

Yes, get it fixed as soon as you can.

Royal Albatross update - Ranger Sharyn Broni posts 15 hours ago, Top Flat Track chick has fledged. :-*
In the below video from Lady Hawk you can see the last sighting of TFT chick before he fledges.

Royal Albatross ~ LGL Comes Back To Feed TF! Drops A Big Piece Of Food On The Ground! 😲 9.19.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzsjGbJ1LXM&t=12s

Sep 19, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
Mom LGL flies in and lands in a bit of a flop close to TF. He is very excited to have a parent come in and immediately runs to her wheeing for his breakfast. LGL begins to feed TF and she regurgitates a large piece of food - TF is unable to swallow it and it falls to the ground. TF didn't try to pick it up he just kept begging from LGL.

LGL sees the food on the ground and she grabs it with her bill and swallows it in one huge gulp! TF continues his begging LGL for several minutes and LGL continues to try and feed him. I am not sure if she was able to regurgitate that piece of food back up for him. I am sure LGL needs the nourishment too. ♥ When LGL is finished, she walks down the hill and TF whees at her because he can still see her.  Thank you for watching!

TF chick keeps trying those wings, he spent the night further away from the cam. It'll be soon  :-*

Clynn, Glad you found someone to fix your car correctly!!  Love the article on Iris, Finn and family! She did inspire hope around the world. Never give up #BeAnIris!  :-*... I always miss and think about Iris during her migration. I know she has left, I feel it, the nest feels empty. Yesterday, the only osprey seen on the 2nd Hellgate cam Iris's dead tree might have been Finn. Because Dr. Greene was on the ground at the same time looking for the family, and sighted Finn only. The male osprey always the last to leave.  :-*  ... Beau was on the NEFL nest the day before too. Never heard of A1, sounds like the sauce. He must be the one with the injured talon that showed up last year for a short time. This nest has lost my heart when the last of the Hamlet eagles disappeared.

Tig, thank you for the correction. It's a beautiful capture of a stunning sky showcasing a calm and peaceful moment.

Hi Tsk, No, I didn't look for cookies for humans, just for the pets. LOL! Scottsdale's Trader Joe is always packed with people. Rude, snotty people! And they're always in a hurry!!  Lord, give me patience with my cart in tow!  :-X And you have no idea how much worse it is in the parking lot!! God grant me grace!  :-\ ... Scottsdale's Costco is worse! Yes, a day in the valley is not for the faint of heart! ... oh Tsk, I just want to hug you, I wish we could fast forward this difficult time for Tim.  :-* .. sending you both prayers... and gentle hugs for Lulu. We're always here for you.  :-*

Kb, good luck with the jeep. Take care.  :)

Phyl, beautiful morning pics. They would make great puzzles... I love the black wolf videos! Beautiful creature.

 ~ Dad WYL Comes Back 4 Times Looking & Waiting For His Chick But TFT Has Fledged 9.20.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivtmVsbvVHA

Sep 20, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
This is coverage from Sept 19th & 20th with WYL making 4 stops at the nest in search for his chick TFT so he could feed him. TFT was not here and had fledged! But TF was nearby and went to WYL in hopes he could get a feeding,

Notice how different WYL reacted to TF in this video versus all the other times that TF approached him.  Here you can clearly see that WYL is feeling some bewilderment as to where his chick is. He landed and looked around, then flew off and searched the headland for TFT then returned. He left again and then came back and he sat down and waited for TFT to come back to his nest. WYL is a first time Dad - these feelings are all new to him. So to not see his chick must have left WYL feeling confused.

TF's presence did not help as WYL clacks at TF and was not welcoming to him. While TF was growing up, if you remember, it was WYL who would sit next to him and visit, he never clacked at him, he was a gentle albie uncle to him. It was BOK who was  not so nice and would bite and chase TF away.

Today, WYL returned and had a long stay on the nest. He sniffs the grass for TFT's scent...taking all this information in so that his instincts will be able to tell him that his job is over and he can fly away and not return here for a couple of years. We have such beautiful zooming of Dad WYL ♥ TF was here just like he was yesterday- our TF is never one to miss a meal or a potential meal ♥ WYL clacks at TF and TF clacks back...the dynamic is changing.

I think WYL needed this time to process the fact that his chick was not here and will not be coming back. I do believe in their own way, they know that their job has been fulfilled as parents and they can now take the time to rest and replenish themselves since it has been a long process of raising a chick,  BOK has not been back yet so she does not know TFT had fledged. She may come back a few times as well before she takes off for South America.

Kudos to BOK and WYL on the great job they have done in raising TFT to be a strong & healthy chick! The albatross family is simply amazing, Thank you for watching!

good news on Nellie!....

Tim my favorite mechanic, older guy, worked on her for decades drove her twice and couldn't get her to stall.
Investigated her all day and at the end of the day surmised the following:

Battery....said it was 4 years old?...i'll have to check that, but low mileage...they go by years not mileage. Has a life span of 5-7 years. So, they charged it.
Bottom line when I drive so little over time when sitting at low RPM's it doesn't communicate with the engine well.

And yes, only sitting at a light or at low speeds did it stall for me.

Checked everything else. But, I told them to keep her and winterize her on Monday before I pick her up.
Check tires, brakes, all fluids and whatever else they do for winter and I'll pick her up.

Bottom line: when you don't drive much Nellie has a temper tantrum!

Not a big cash layout expected either.

I don't intend to drive just to drive so it's a learning process for me and hopefully others.

(((Hugs to All in the Beak Room.)))


(((TSK))), oh, it had to be so very scary for you, and for (((Tim))), to be so confused in that painkiller/meds haze from hell. Prayers they can start to get dialed back bit by bit sooner rather than later. Prayers for that infection to clear faster than expected so the surgery can be done sooner. Prayers for comfort and some calm for Tim so he can rest better, too. Prayers for you for your own health and wellness, too, as you deal with all the doctor/hospital "stuff" - I know so well how that so often goes from much time spent looking after, and advocating for, my own seriously ill hospitalized immediate family. You must be exhausted. Prayers for a restful night.


Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

GOOD MORNING

Up since 4 so thought I would get this update out there.

KB  Seeing the Pallas cat reminds me - Has anyone caught the new series on PBS about the Big Cats?  First 2 episodes were this week back to back.  5 or 6 professional photographers following a tribe of lions, a cheetah and a leopard over a period of I think 6 months.  Such a struggle.  Fascinating program.  Good to see you got your Nellie to the "doctor" and is in the waiting room  LOL
Ollie says " Mom I love you"   :-*     I had no idea that water was involved in AI  :o   So much new stuff - I can't keep up!!   Good to have a mechanic that knows your car.  Good advice tho about a car that is not driven much.

PHYL  Colorful AM pics series yesterday  :)

LISA   Gosh - and you've been driving such long distances with that recall issue.  I'm kind of surprised you can't just take it in to the dealer and say fix it.  Is it a waiting for "parts" issue?

CLYNN  Beautiful shot from NEFL yesterday  :o

LANI   Awww TFT - safe travels  ;)   Interesting about LGL's attempted feeding of TF    Awww WYL looking for his kid who forgot to say good bye  :'( :'(    I voted  ;D ;D

OLDGUY    Kilauea having another hiccup I see.  ??? :-\

Mind racing with all the information given yesterday.  Non stop from 8:30 to 5!   4 of the 5 discipline docs made appearances as well as PT - excellent , and the most impressive " nurse diabetes navigator" educator ever! ( ordered by the endocrinologist who we should have been directed to eons ago!!!)  She spent 2 -1 hour sessions with us instructing about diabetes and the use of insulin which will now change our lifestyle in addition to the issues involved with the gall bladder - Yikes.   Really doubt he will be discharged this weekend as you well know not much happens on weekends.  So much as yet to be done and coordinated between disciplines.
So up early watching videos on insulin pen injections to supplement what the nurse made Tim do in front of her with a practice pen.
Once in the new routine it will get easier.   Confusion still hovers but is improving and early yesterday the white blood cells trickled into the normal range.  Phew!  Lots to learn yet and maybe some can be done this weekend.  Thanks as always for your thought and prayers that keep me going.

oldguy, looks like things are calm but simmering in Hawaii...

Lani, so interesting to read about the Royal Albies and the fledging of the chicks one by one. Good luck TFT chick!  I also voted for Kiwa! Thanks for sharing the last sightings of Antali, we will miss all of our Hellgate family! Such a wonderful season they gave us! Beautiful sunset at Katmai...

Phyl, beautiful picture of the moon atop the rocka at Bryce Canyon!

baz, love the goodnight words!

Lisa, I drove my car all over the place yesterday, all is good! That sounds like a serious recall, hope you can get it fixed quickly. Recalls are a pain in the patuttie.

tsk, hoping Tim is feeling better this morning... Hugs for both of you.

Sam and Sophie are very intently watching a squirrel or chipmunk!  And Sam reading the Beakroom chat!

KB... Indeed! Like, yesterday, I made reservations for a hotel for next year, through my rewards with the hotel chain customer service. The website only showed a regular 2 bed rm. I had questions that were not really answered... partially due to a language issue. So I then called the hotel directly. The manager was surprised the requested rm. option was not offered. She switched us to a King accessible on the first floor and made notes to not switch us to a different rm. We had a great conversation. In the other words, it often pays to double check!

(((TSK and Tim))) Yay, for lots of good help from the specialists, and a great improvement re. the WBC count! Hope that means the gallbladder can get taken care of sooner than anticipated! A lot of info and changes for you and Tim, but I hope that means Tim will start feeling better soon, and also feel better long term with all he's learning from the navigator. Hope Tim can be home soon, and start getting some of Lulu's loving healing kitty purrs, too. Keeping you both in my prayers. P.S. I saw that Big Cats PBS program on my TV channel guide. It looks excellent, but I haven't watched. I've kind of gotten where I have a hard time watching animals having a hard time.

Waving to All the Beakers! Happy Caturday!


I'm off to pick up some things at the store to take to my friends (retired married couple) in a neighboring county who lost much of what they own in the flooding rain last week. They lived right next door to me for several years. I just adore them, and have missed them being my great good neighbors. They are in the process of packing everything into storage till they have a place to use it, and the rest of what's in the house is going into a pod getting delivered to them Monday. It will stay there till their house is repaired and livable again. Everything has to removed from the home for that to happen. They are waiting for the Red Cross to get back to them, hopefully, with a lead on an apt or somewhere they can move to very soon, even if just temporarily till a longer term rental is found, while their home gets repaired, which will take a long time. Many people in the area need the same. All the walls in their house will be ripped out back to the studs from 4 feet high down to the floors, which will all be removed as well. I will take a ferry to get to them because I can't get there by road due to so many roads and bridges and highways washed out or closed or impassable. I hope I can get on the ferry - it will be in big demand by residents cut off by road, and by delivery trucks that will need to use it to get supplies into the community otherwise cut off from the usual road routes. It's going to be a long slog getting things fixed. The impact was over a large area/many homes and people and businesses. Their county's schools continue to be closed - damages, and also buses not able to run many of the routes due to impassable/closed roads and highways. The kids in that county already missed a whole week of school since the storm last Monday, and will start remote learning this Monday. Ugh for the kids and their families.  My next door neighbor's good buddy (older retired gentleman), and his dog, who lived in our county in one of the beach areas that got flooded so badly from their 20+ inches of rain received in 12 hours in that particular area, had to be rescued. The unexpected sudden rise of waters was 3 feet deep at his home. He couldn't even open his door. All the slowly rising water suddenly rose almost from out of nowhere and flooded his home through walls and from under the floors - not just under doors and such (this same story was told by many people in many places). He got help from 911. They had to break the door down to rescue him and his dog. He lost everything he owns. He is also waiting for the Red Cross to help locate alternate housing. The Red Cross is inundated with these kinds of needs by so many people, and there is probably a great lack of available places to put people. I imagine some hotel rooms may be brought in to play for this, as has been done in the past. Four of my area counties were declared disasters, so that helps with getting services. World Kitchen was here in a flash. They are a miraculous operation. Many people are offering volunteer labor, food, supplies, etc. Bless all their hearts.

Prayers for all who were in the path of the flooding rains and all in the path of severe weather.

Royal Albatross ~ TF & TFT's Last Visit Before TFT Fledges! 💕 9.19.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ar4qJ7zgQc

Sep 20, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
This is the last cam view footage we have of TFT before he went down the hill and later fledged. TF is on his nest and TFT comes into view from the left practicing his hops & running with wings outstretched. TF clacks at TFT when he got too close lol One last clack for good measure! 💕😊

TFT takes a short rest and the chicks look at one another before TFT gets up and continues his running and hops down the track. TFT pauses a few times, taking in Top Flat and imprinting it so he can return here in about 5-8 years. Then TFT goes down the hill and we no longer see him.

TFT was a delight to watch from his hatch to his fledge. He was such a sweet chick, was well fed by BOK and WYL and had a great neighbor in TF to hang out with. Godspeed TFT - have a safe journey & may you always have a belly full of squid!! 💕😊 The video is dedicated to my good friend Silvana Souza who is one of our albatross's biggest fans and especially proud of first time parents BOK & WYL and their chick TFT! Thank you for watching!

Glad all the cars are working well, oh, except Lisa, pending receipt of the  recall . I have always been told that the way a car is driven, not age or  miles is important for optimum performance.
My driving is short, stop and go trips and I am anxious for Mickey to arrive oi
For a Christmas and  get the car on the highway
For a while!   Even while sitting, unused, there are things that will deteriorate!
 Tsk,  looks like a silver lining maybe emerging for Tim and you.   Have they decided what they will ultimately do with the gall bladder?
Do take care of yourself and Lulu.

Phyl, the houses you have been posting look European to me.  Would love a matched print of all framed on a wall,  so colorful and cheerful!

We left early this morning to do our Walmart shopping, and decided to get our Flu shots while there.

Phyl - Loved your good night pic last night.   Aww, all your kitties, great pics of them. Thanks for the 365.

Lani - Beautiful pic from Katmai!  I had worried about my car the whole time going to Decorah and back, and also driving down for my Mom.  But, thanked God each time I made it.  :)  Thanks for the Royal update. 

oldguy - Thanks for the latest from Hawaii.

tsk - Sounds like you all have got some good information yesterday.  I hope Tim is getting better, and can come home soon.  Yes, the recall is a parts issue with Honda.  When the first notice arrived it said, you would receive another when the parts would be distributed to the dealerships.  I have an oil change & tire rotation next Tuesday.  I did ask about the recall, like I do every time I get the oil & tires done, and this time the adviser said they were not working on V6's yet, to hang in there.  It should be soon!

clynn - Love the pics of S & S!  Did Sam find the Beakroom interesting?  ;D  Glad to hear that your car is all fixed and no issues.

kb - Wow, those clouds!

baz - So sorry to hear about your friends.  It is so nice of you to pick up some things for them at the store.   :-*

karen - You want me to come down and take your car for a spin  ;D

Puff -  The recall is on a fuel pump module that may have have an improperly molded impeller, per the form.  It also states, that an inoperable fuel pump could prevent engine from starting, cause vehicle to lose drive power or stall while driving, causing the risk of crash or injury.

You and KB don't need the extra aggravation and worry.

Wish there was more we could do for tsk KB, Phly.  At least our supply of hugs/prayers still going out. 

Had to check out the noise on another channel - It is raining at the Mississippi.  Mother nature needs to share that around to the dry areas.  Like IL.  Suppose to be here tomorrow for us.

Back to reading and watching football.  Too hot for outside.

Not much good news floating around the Beak this weekend. I'm sorry all this difficulty.
I'm not doing my best---fell asleep driving this PM. Jim in passenger seat.
All is well though.

 Yes. On the new series on PBS about the Big Cats.   Awesome.
The professional photographers following a tribe of lions, a cheetah and a leopard over a period of a couple of months.
Again, prayer candles lit {{{Tsk & Tim}}}.

I'm gonna call it a day. Take a wee nap. Then get our pizzas made,  Romain/spinach salad e/ creamy Caesar dressing, brew each. No dessert.


 Here's an early Good Night Everyone... SEDs

Sitting on a rocking chair porch toking on a mighty fine cigar dipped in some mighty fine brandy here in the Catskills.

Gandalf type smoke rings a rising.

A mature red tail fox just walked up to us like what the heck are U humans doing here.   ;)

We'll be out of your tail realm after the embers are cold.

Phyl, hope you got a good night's rest and are feeling better this morning! The first day of Autumn, my favorite season! Thank you for breakfast this morning, I love cranberry orange bread... Good 365, love seeing the birds in France!  How are you this morning?

Lani, and how are you and Mike doing? Is Mike getting to work from home for a while?

oldguy, lots of good cat videos, thanks! The Sprite Cranberry one reminds me of our kittens and Harley, who is also fat and tries to eat their food! Wonder where Larry is?  I didn't realize he was that old!

karen, Piper is a smart girl, she keeps you on your toes!

baz, you are so good to help your friends when they need so much help! I cannot imagine how devastating it would be to lose almost everything. Thank goodness there are still good people in this world. I hope they get the help they need to get their lives back... These disasters are happening too often these days.

Lisa, that sounds like kind of a serious recall! I hope you get an answer when you talk to the dealership again!

Wouldn't this be great?  Australians have found a solution to making road markings more visible at night. They want to paint them in 'photoluminescent paint', similar to that on the hands of some watches

First day of fall - YAY

CLYNN  Beautiful opening to Caturday yesterday  ;D  LOL  I voted for Kiwa too  ;D    Those two cats are a stitch - Good shot of them looking out the window and of course Sam has learned to read already  ;) ;)  We are supposed to get light rain today  Hmmm    Banyon tree  WOW

PHYL   Love those shots of Maggie  :)  Oh Oh with the balloon  LOL  You fell asleep driving???  :o :o  You've had a lot of good days!! What happened?  Walnut tree 365  Good one

KB    PIC line - Hear you!   Dad had a g-tube for a year - Pepsi was our cleaning method  LOL

TIG    I go the old fashion way - actually talking to a person - every chance I get!!

OLDGUY    Your links will give me reading material for the hospital today  LOL  Will say tho Sprite Cranberry was so cute  Lulu has that puzzle to find her treats at night - She is an expert  LOL

BAZI  As a matter of fact - Original removal of the gall bladder was to be 6 weeks from now BUT  I do believe I hear now it could be 3-4 weeks - YAY  I can keep you posted on the tribes and single cats if too sad. - I don't like that either.   Thank you so much for that flooding report.  You are so kind to try and venture out to get to your friends  How sad for them and for all so affected by this flooding.  So much time yet to get all repaired as well.  Be safe in your own journey to get there.

LANI    The leopard you will see in the Big Cats is learning to capture it's prey by tree jumping!  The Holy Spirit has really been in play for this whole ordeal with Tim.  If Tim hadn't had the vomiting incident he never would have been hospitalized - the gall bladder may have gotten worse - he would never had been hooked up with the endocrinologist for his diabetes( he had been refusing to go at his PCP direction)  - and if we had not been delayed yesterday in seeing the endocrinologist before we left yesterday we would not have know about the sudden atrial fib!!!  Everything for a reason.    Yay  how cute they describe TFT's final look at his home  Fly high little one.

KAREN   So Mickey is coming for a visit??  Will be good to see her.   Gall bladder removal could  be as early as 3 weeks from now.
That was a stray kitty that followed you in the house?  Oh  I get it Lisa said Piper got out - that makes more sense  That stinker!!

LISA   Well we will pray your car can wait for its turn  ::) ::)

Well we almost made it home yesterday!!!  Dressed and waiting for endocrinologist to answer all my question and to have IVs removed, D/C instructions etc  Nurse runs in and says " Are you all right?"  you're in atrila fib - WHAT??  I feel fine.  He's had it twice before and was hospitalized  last year  sigh.  So moved to a different floor and a step down unit.  Proper drugs administered and noted this AM HR is coming down but a ways to go.  Maybe today??  Have already cancelled a few things for this week..

Sorry to hear of Tim's setback tsk.  I have a small monitor always in the area.  Hope that now gets calmed down.

Hugs and prayers.

BrokenLug - Oh, Cape Cod...another place to add to my bucket list.  Have always wanted to go there.

oldguy - Thanks for the videos. Love the story on the cat finding its way back home to California, awww.

Lani - Thanks for the pic of #89.

clynn - Love your morning cuppa!  What worried me most about the recall was the distance driving, and something happening.  When I told the dealership how far I was driving, they didn't seem concerned.   :-\

tsk - Yep, car is going to wait its turn.  :)  Oh no, I am sorry to hear that Tim had a lil setback.  I hope everything gets sorted out, so he can get back home, and get back to normal.  ((HUGS))

Royal Albatross ~ TF Prepares For Fledging with Hovers, Jumps & Running Flapping Down Track 9.21.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TJDEHkdgfM

Sep 21, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
TF's fledging is imminent now as he feels the calling to the wind and sea! TF practices his wing flapping taking it running down the track several times. He will also do a jump hover as he passes his nest - with the EXACT same route that TFT took the other day before his fledge! TF spent the night just below the hill last night. Will TF fledge today? Stay tuned! Thank you for watching!

Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk

Posted 11 hours ago, You can see the top of TF's head poking out of the tall grass in the middle of the pic - he's staring out at the big world and dreaming of adventures!

Royal Albatross ~ TOP FLAT CHICK TF FLEDGES! Congratulations & Safe Travels! 🎉 💕 🎉 9.23.24

Sep 22, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
Today was the big day for TF! He was seen off to the right down the track in the early morning flapping his wings in the breeze. Our cam op was able to zoom in on him in his favorite spot just below the hill. TF continued to flap his wings and headed down slope just out of view - all except for a few glimpses of his wings flapping that let us know he was still there.

Then TF was out of view and the cam op panned around and back to the area that TF was last seen in and within seconds we see a chick fledge. I do believe this was TF ♥ He was only seen for a couple of seconds and he then went down and out of view.  Timestamp 05:44 real time & 06:05 slomo. I included this is in regular time and with zoom and slomo to see it better.  Ranger Sharyn confirmed TF did fledge this morning, so this may have been the last view of him from the cam.

This occurred at 07:24:58 on Monday Sept 23rd 2024.

Congratulations to TF on fledging & safe travels! Mum LGL came in at noon so she just missed seeing her chick for the last time. A bittersweet moment for LGL who is staying for hours at the nest waiting for TF to return ♥ 

I am so proud of LGK & LGL for successfully raising their chick to fledge!  TF is 244 days old today! Bon Voyage TF - may you always be safe and have a fully tummy of squid! I hope you find TFT out there and share your fledging tales! I am going to miss TF very much Godspeed sweetheart!

And a big shout out to the Cornell team and to the entire DOC staff & rangers for all the work they have done this season! We were blessed to have been able to watch these amazing albatross and share in a small part of their lives! Thank you for watching!

Mom LGL has been waiting and looking for TF on their nest for more than 4 hours. She's not left the area. Searching for her boy.  :-*

Howdy Beakers.  :)

I took food, beverage, and supplies to my friends today, who are working hard getting their house packed up and stuff taken to the curb. They are exhausted. They aren't in a flood zone, but thank goodness they have flood insurance, along with their regular home insurance. Even so, all their insurance, and any help they may get from the disaster declaration, won't pay for all of the loss and repair. I went by way of ferry, and the drive down the part of the beach I took to the ferry showed almost every property had tall piles of stuff at the curb - furniture, drywall, insulation, appliances, and so forth. The same was true in the neighborhood where my friends live... who are not in a flood zone, but flooded anyway. I helped them relocate some household things to other locations, and helped carry some large bulky items to the curb, and some things to a shed, and helped with some other lighter tasks around the house, like laundry. I got to spend some time loving on their dog, who was a rescue, They adopted him after they moved away from me, so I hadn't seen him before. He is a senior dog who has been treated and cured now of some serious issues (heartworms being just one of those), and who also has a permanent significant health issue, and he is just the sweetest black lab ever. He is now part of their wonderful loving and caring home and getting the comfort, care, and love he never had before. Finally, in his old age. Even their vet said that he is a very lucky dog. When I met him, he acted like I was a good friend.  :) :-*  And that was even before I gave him a new toy (his all got flooded with yucky really nasty water, including sewer overflow stuff-ick), and some yummy healthy treats, which he loved.  ;D  He is comfortable, and seems like a good ol' lovable tailwagger, so I'm so glad he will be able to live out his remaining days with them. I left a little earlier to come home than I wanted to because I didn't want to risk taking the last ferry, in case it was too full for me to get on. So I came back on the 4 pm ferry. I hadn't been on that ferry in about 20 years. It was a beautiful day for that 35-minute crossing each way... lots of sea birds to watch, too!

Clynn, yes! - the storms are getting stronger and coming more often, making the weather disasters worse and more often. My friends' home, and neighborhood, isn't even in a flood zone. Those Aussies had a good idea for making those road lines more visible at night! My Goddaughter's daughter just moved to Perth this month, so I've noticed that Australia topics seem to keep popping up here and there... you know how that seems to work. LOL.

(((TSK))), I saw 4 Monarchs!! while I was crossing on the ferry back home today! They were all flying east, in the direction of that ferry ride.  ??? Maybe they were just taking advantage of the draft, but I told them if they were going to migrate to S.A., they needed to make a hard right!  ;) :D Oh gosh, I'm glad y'all were still at the hospital when Tim's a-fib was detected, so he got immediate treatment for that, thankfully! Even though it meant a delay getting discharged... I hope he's home very soon, and feeling better each and every day. Wishing you both rest, healing, and comfort.

Lani, thanks for the reports on the bears, sloths, and Albies!  :-* :-*  Oh, that's great that Mike is getting to work from home these recent weeks. Fingers crossed your internet is up more reliably, too. What is the status now of that fire that was getting closer to your area - I think maybe you said it was the West fire? Well, I probably don't remember the name of it, but I remember you reporting on it, and the picture and map you posted. I hope it is more contained, and that it can get tamped down soon! I was able to catch the last of the Chief's game tonight. Whew! Very close call ending!

Lisa, I wonder if there's a different dealer location not too far from you that might be able to handle that recall repair sooner. I know you'll be glad when it's taken care of.

Karen, oh LOL, Piper wanted to go walk with you - without letting you know... LOL... that little wascally wascal!  ;) :D  I'm glad she went right back to the house with you. So, Mickey is going to come visit over Christmas? Yay!

Phyl, nodding off while driving? Scary! Glad all was ok. Pizza sounds so good.

Tig, sounds like a nice day for a fun baseball game... and a BE! I didn't catch any golf today, but I did get to see some of today's (Day 3/Final day) Laver Cup action. The doubles match was insane... excellent!

BL, nice place to relax!

OG, I missed it if you said... but I hope the cards were good to you again this week, after you slayed last week!  :D

KB, glad Lollie is doing so well again, and your car repair was an easy fix!

Puff, glad you got some rain - sounds like it's really needed there!


Good night, ((Beakers)). Peace.

Phyl, love your morning pictures, looks like rain coming your way!  It was actually chilly here yesterday after the Saturday night rain!  52 right now, high 71 today. Hope you have a good visit with your knee doctor!

Lani, TF has fledged!!!  Yahoo!  I think it is so sweet that the parents come back to the nest and wait several times, just to make sure their chick has fledged before they take off. It is kind of sad to us, but it is their way of life! Sweet little sloth for Costa Rica, and thanks for all the updates!

baz, I am so glad you are able to help your friends, and even to ride the ferry after 20 years!  What river does the ferry cross? They must be very special friends! I hope they are able to cope with the disaster they are in. You can bet the area they live in will be marked as a flood zone now, it's happening all over the southeast.  Insurance rates will go sky high.  Delicious Autumn! It would be fun to follow Autumn all around the world!

Lisa, I have never had the service department at a dealership act like they care. Well, I do like the Quick Lane at the Ford dealership, they are really nice and helpful. That's where I get my oil changed. They just do minor things. I have three incidents in my letter I am penning to Ford. All 'don't really care' and 'you are a female so don't question'. And slap on as many charges as possible. Better stop before I blow a gasket!!  Have Jeff call them, with his stern voice.

tsk, oh no, something else with Tim. My sister Becky, who was a cardiac rehab specialist said many people have a-fib and don't even know it. After Mom's back surgery she called Becky, turned out she had 'foot drop' and while the hospital was looking at that they discovered she had a-fib. Will he have to take the a-fib meds? Mom takes Eliquis, they have had to adjust it a few times. Praying for both of you...

GOOD MORNING

PUFF  We had a light rain almost all day yesterday - A true blessing.

LANI  Definitely the perfect symbol of Costa Rica - those cute little sloths  :D   Boy, they sure care for a lot of sloths at TRR  Truly amazing tho to see that they don't lose too many.  They are prone to a lot of medical issues as I read through.   Adios to TF  Safe flight!

BAZI   " I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns" - So true!   What an experience to see first hand all the destruction from the flooding.  You are a good soul! And even your friend the lab was not forgotten  :-*    Yes, those monarchs certainly had to make that hard right.  LOLOL

PHYL   Not too much dancing now after your second set of injections today  ;) ;)

CLYNN  Love that solo acorn on the log  :)    This is Tim's 3rd documentation of Afib - the first two were last year when he was hospitalized for them.  This one he did not feel and yes you are right - about 85% of folks don't know they have it.   Tim has been on Eliquis and Plavix for a long time...Both have been stopped during this time and only recently ( Saturday) resumed.  Makes me wonder if that might have contributed to this event.  Whenever he has to have any invasive procedure the Plavix is stopped for 5 days and Eliquis for 3 days.  Good that they found it in Mom.  Puts a lot of wear and tear on the heart muscle.  Did her foot drop resolve?

Fairly quiet day yesterday.  Tim's regular cardiiologist who has treated him forever was off last week and should return today.  Early yesterday the "sub" who has NO bedside manner came in the room, waved his arms at the IV and said " the meds aren't working we're going to shock your heart tomorrow so don't eat anything after midnight"  WHATT???   Tim said I want to see my own cardiologist.   Previously he has been converted with amioderone,( which they have not used)  but cardioversion is also a common method so we shall see today. Tim is a worrier so was upset all day.  Did get in 2 long walks and was up sitting most of the day.

tsk, oh my! I would also wait for my regular cardiologist too! My Mom went for a regular appointment in early April and her regular doctor was out of town. The substitute doctor decided she needed an endoscopy. Something about a valve in her heart?? I took her to that appointment when I was there in April. Well, it was a horrible experience for her! She wasn't having any problems so we do not know why the sub doctor thought there was. And she is not one to question a doctor. Turned out there were no problems at all. Your question about the foot drop, she now has neuropathy in her feet. I think because they became so concerned about the a-fib that they let the foot drop thing go on too long... just my thoughts.

84 bucks....beats a fuel line/pump issue for sure!

Try to take care of yourself tsk....although from my perspective that's not really possible until your spouse is well...Try anyway!

Lani - I hate to admit it but I was sad to see LGL waiting for TF to return..I know I know...the dedication to chicks is why I love birds.

Again, tks  for all the updates.

Another recent commonality.  I see a new cardiologist Oct 10.  My guy retired after being my guy for 20 years.  Good guy, good doctor - actually was head of cardio department at Good Samaritan.  He said he chose only the best for me.   :-*  I'll really miss  him - THE BEST!!!

Firing operations continuing east of Pine and north of the Control Road and to hwy 87 (Beeline)."

Phyl, lovely morning pics.... I pray all goes well with 2nd injection. Also, prayers for Jim... thanks for nature video.

Clynn, beautiful morning pics... also, pics from Utah and Yosemite Park is awesome.... Have you ever watched The Trek Planner on youtube?  Here's a video.

Royal Albatross

Ranger Sharyn Broni has already explained, albatrosses have an extremely good sense of smell. They can detect their food within a radius of 50 km.
I think the parents know that their offspring have fledged. They can no longer smell them. But they can smell the places where they were before.
Perhaps it has something to do with the "genetic program" that is now causing them to fly away and allowing hormone production to return to normal.
I wish all the departing albatrosses the best. Because the first returnees of the Toroa season have already been spotted.

Mom LGL waited more than 9 hours in TF chick's last nesting area. She did not leave until after sunset.   😢 :-*

New info from NHC on a developing TS in the southern Caribbean - this morning's forecast models have it with a potential Cat 4 at landfall - Biloxi to Tampa for cone with the center on the Big Bend area.  Heading thru Georgia, S. Car. and heading for the mountains in N. Car.  Hurricane status within 72 hours.  Landfall for Friday.  Keep in mind that 72 hours is a long time for forecasting hurricane cones - lots can change to move that cone, but this is the current path on this morning's forecast.

Karen and Baz - you know the routine  ;)  -  keep this on your radar...

OG, thanks. I just signed in to the Beak so I could post this info for Karen!  :) I have been watching this developing system (currently PTC 9, soon to be a named tropical storm/then hurricane) for 3 days now. It's path can change, so I will keep alert for my area, but right now I don't think it will get to southeast NC, though some of its rains might spread in that direction (no!), but hopefully not. I watch the tropics development very closely, daily, during hurricane season, and beyond, as we have had named systems in December, and January, after the official Nov. 30 end of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. Prayers for All in the path of that storm!

Karen, I know you keep up-to-date on the weather for your area!! I hope you have seen today's updates and forecast, re. the currently-named PTC 9. It's tropical force winds should arrive in your area by Thursday, if not late Wednesday night, based on the current forecast. Of course the track and speed and intensity can all change, and will, as you already know. But get your preparations done today and Tuesday! It's track currently is wide, due to uncertainty in the model forecasting right now, and spans the width from Panama City Beach, east to Tampa! But the models show heavy likelihood of the center of the track (for what that's worth! ) currently showing that system heading towards the Appalachicola/Tallahassee direction, slightly NNE track in that regard, from coming ashore, possibly in that Big Bend area, so that means YOU are right in line, IF it follows that track. Center looking to possibly come ashore Thursday night/Friday as a Cat 2 or Cat 3, but as I said, the tropical force winds will precede that by a lot, expected arriving in the panhandle/south GA area Wednesday night/Thursday, pending forecast updates and changes. It is going to be a large system! It is now expected to undergo rapid intensification!! It is going to produce FLOODING INLAND RAINS! You know what my area just experienced in that regard. Park your car where it hopefully will stay above any of that, if you get those heavy rains, and get all your pick-ups and deliveries for your meds, food and beverage (that you can open and eat without electricity to open or heat/cook), and Piper's needs, and what-all, completed by Tuesday night if at all possible. Then stay alert for severe weather watches and warnings, and keep your notifications on with the volume up high, when it gets closer to time. I know you know what to do. Check your battery supply, too, and put your flashlight/lantern where you know where it is on immediate short notice. So, bottled water would be a good thing, too. Also, you can place a lantern or flashlight behind a plastic jug of water, and it will provide a large area with a soft ambient glow of light, making a much larger area lit well enough to see, rather than just where the beam from the flashlight is pointing. I've used that tip, and it works great!! Fingers crossed!!


Waving to all the Beakers. Hugs to all. Take care.  :-*

Good Afternoon Beakers

Lani - WTG, TF on your fledge!  Thanks for the update.   :)  Awww, the Royal Mom's waiting for their chicks.  :-*

baz - Very nice of you to help your friends in need.   :-*

Phyl - Good luck with your injection today.  Hope all went well.

clynn - Pretty morning pics today.  I do like my Honda dealership, and the one guy that I use as my adviser.  He is always nice as pie, knows what my car needs, and he loves eagles!  I just don't like when he is not there and they give me someone else, who wants to do 50 other things to my card that probably don't need it.

tsk - I would want to wait for my own doc too, especially if you had one who had no bedside manners.  I hope to hear that Tim was able to see him today.  Thinking of you both!!

kb - Glad to hear that your auto is all fixed up.   

Puff - Hope all goes well with your new doc, and that you like him or her as much as your old one.

oldguy - Thanks for the update on the TS.

baz and all - Thanks to all who suggested that I call other dealerships.  I did call a few other dealerships today to find out if I could get my recall fixed sooner.  I got the same answer at every place I called. This recall was for 2.6 million Honda or Acura vehicles that are the year 2017-2020.  I have to wait till I get my notice saying that the part is now available for my vehicle. 

Good night, everyone  :)

Thanks Baz.  I am not worried about a loss of power as I have my whole house generator installed and ready to go!   Damage from the numerous pine trees surrounding my house is another thing! They look straight and are not moving much in recent winds but so nothing to do oiw but hope and pray they stay in the ground and also hope  the fence stays put!   Do not think I will flood and car will be in tge garage.  Tornados?   That is a whole other thing!
Dr. Hall was here Sunday and said, How are you?  I said, falling apart!  She said, I have duct tape in the car!   Lolol!  She and family are spending the week in  Yellowstone!

Feel sorry for the albie parents!   Hope and all have safe journeys and , another season starts! I’m
Also praying M and F are not harmed  or homeless from this storm!

Pip's brother has one of those whole house generators by Generac.

A industrial version of mounted high and tight from the flood zone he's in.

His runs directly off the underground natural gas lines we have here. 

Super Storm Sandy.

We spent a week there one night.

Total Zoo  ::)

At day 5 of he had 25 new to him "neighbors" a just a charging.

He said by day 10 he had over 67.

The power came back on day 11 and then it snowed 4" here.

Weather I tend to veer away from as my bones have gotten older.

GOOD MORNING

CLYNN   Feel bad for that experience for your Mom.  I think endoscopy for bowel and esophageal issues.  How they got to Tim's heart through his throat yesterday I do not know but that is how they "shocked" it. Must have gone down through his trachea.

KB  What a beautiful trail cam catch of Mama cat and kid.  Simple solution for ole Nellie.  Yay  Awwww  Buster and a loving Mom  :)  God blesses Niall. :-*

PHYL   Hornet was cool 365.  How are the knees today?

PUFF  So hard to switch docs.  This one Tim has had for years now and didn't know if he would like him as he liked the first one so much.  It all works out somehow.

LANI    Increasing containment of the fire is good news.  Lots of firefighters risking their lives - Prayers for them.  That Trek Planner piece was fascinating.  Drones are wonderful inventions  ;D    Awww  Lonesome empty nesters  :'(

OLDGUY   SE USA  Living on the edge again.  :-\ ???

BAZI   KAREN got her generator in the nick of time PHEW  Thanks for that weather warning

KAREN   Nice to see DR Hall.  Lots of people visiting Yellowstone this year.  Funny about the duct tape  LOLOL  Tim needs that.

BL    What an experience for Pip's brother.  I believe it tho..Then the snow  LOLOL

When Tim's cardiologist walked in his room yesterday AM I thought Tim would cry he was so glad to see him.  He explained thoroughly and with great finesse how a cardioversion works - like with anything electrical - 'you unplug it and then plug it in again".  I thought that was a great analogy.  Tim was so anxious - like he is with most hospital things - his doc said  " Well, Tim, since you are such a baby I will do the procedure myself" LOLOLOL  He really know Tim and we all had a laugh

Home by 5 PM.  Picking up scrips on the way home.  Took an hour to get his pill boxes redone to accommodate changes.  Meanwhile now almost 7 PM I had dinner made so here goes our first insulin injection  Open the package - Pens but NO NEEDLES?   WHATTTT"
Called Walgreens - We never received a prescription for needles? HUH?  Well knowing nothing about how all that works and thinking how can one work without the other..someone goofed at our expense - So bought a box and will will try again this AM  I will call endocrinologist when office opens.  We should also see the Home Health nurse this AM as well.   He was up at 4 AM now complaining that the incision site continues to hurt and couldn't sleep.  Now he is in his recliner sleeping ( also slept 2 hours after dinner last night.)  SIGH   Baby steps  LOL

tsk, I'm not sure I got the right name of the procedure Mom had, but I know it had something to do with her heart, maybe a valve. So they did shock Tim's heart?  Wow! Just read your medical update for Tim, of course things can't go smoothly. I hope today is better for him! Do they use the injection pens now for insulin, or still a regular needle you have to fill? The pens are so easy to use! The first month I somehow misplaced the last needle tip and panicked. Called the doctor's office and the pharmacy to see if they had any. I had to order a box of 100 on Amazon. Then I found the last needle...

BL, oh my, Pip's brother had a lot of friends during that horrible Sandy storm! Maybe karen will get to meet new friends when word gets out that she has power in a sea of nothing...  Good music!

Lani, what a great picture of #903 Gully! It looks like he is posing for the camera! LGL stayed at TF's nest for 9 hours, she hopefully got a good rest before heading out for her long ocean cruise!  Maybe she will see TF over the ocean... Awww, love the baby picture of TF! Thank you so much for the Trek Planner video, it was so good! I subscribed! Those ruins are so interesting, so amazing. How in the world did they manage to build them into the side of a cliff! Thank you, thank you!

Lisa, I wish I had a front porch I could decorate like your picture! I always have this Fall dilemma, when to get a Mum plant. I hate to get rid of the summer plants on my little porch when they are still so pretty, and by the time of the first freeze there aren't a lot of Mums left!  Maybe I will just have to go to the greenhouse this time. I have tried planting them after they bloom but they never seem to last more than one more season. It just gets too cold here in the dead of winter.  ::)

This massive rift is located in New Mexico, USA, and features the iconic Rio Grande (Rio Bravo). Carving its way through the basalt flows of the Taos Plateau volcanic field, this area forms a breathtaking gorge. The Rio Grande, the fourth-largest river in North America, stretches from southern Colorado, winding through New Mexico, Texas, and eventually reaching its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico. Over millennia, the river’s relentless flow has shaped this dramatic landscape, highlighting the powerful forces of nature at work. The gorge is a striking example of how geology and water have sculpted the American Southwest.

 Hi! My visit with Dr. Martin or Coach Martin went very well. She's an easy person to talk to and I used the opportunity to ask her about some of
the exercises I had been assigned due to the building discs at L4 -L 6 Of course it stands to reason that if doing 'something' hurts---don't do it.
But never hurts to get the 'okay to skip' .  However I got a green light to do a prone plank standing up. And the resistance band for the upper legs . I have permission to skip with a choice of a more advance level as it's doesn't stress the lower back. So I chose the advance exercise. I also mentioned that the gel after 2-3 days gravitated to the lower knee cavity leaving the gel at the bottom instead at the top of the knee Doc use a in a thicker  Euflexxa gel  . And my time in the actual therapy away from home was cut down.

Lani thank you  :-*   Pretty heart shaped leaf this AM. Good Luck w/ zoom meeting

Lisa always good idea to do a basic maintenance on the autos. Thanks

{{{Tsk and Tim}}} How could I have missed your news on Tim being home from hospt?  ::)  Congrats!
 I believe, Lulu's purrs will help in healing.

Bazi I'm sure those in the storm areas appreciated you links and weather info. You really stay current  ;)

BL    awesome experience for Pip's brother; enjoyed the tunes tks


KB Ollieman is a handsome old gent.  :-*

Karen - sounds like you're storm ready with your generator.  Didn't know what a loblolly is--so looked it up. Simply put a type of conifer (evergreen) . Hopefully they be 'okay'

CLynn pretty Autumn porch



We had some heavy rain this morning.  Haven't even begun with Fall porch decoration---been too warm. Trees not turned nor is the air 'crisp'.
Ahhh. But, give it time.  ;)

CLYNN  Nice fall opening to your post today   Tim says he doesn't even feel the needle when he injects - All pre filled pens that for us will last about a week.  The needle is so tiny you can hardly see it.

PHYL   Like the fall posts of yours this AM as well.  Sounds like you are finding just the right routine that suits your needs.   365 should have been longer today  :-\  We had a great rain today - Almost 1/2"

KB   I have not heard about her return either!!!   Wait!  She is not one of the stranded astronauts as I read OLDGUY's link

LANI   Had to cancel going to Bible study today as nurse was coming for initial visit at that time.  Miss the disruption in routine as much as the next guy.  Do have a Thurs AM meeting I hope to get to tho.  Hope the Zoom went well.

PUFF  Did you get the heavy rain today?  Tornado warnings down south.

OLDGUY  Quite a cat wall  :)  Thanks for the mums tip

When I wasn't "doing" today I was "dozing"  LOL  Tim up at 4 AM  Too painful to turn side to side.  Went to his recliner and got a good couple hours in.  Think he will start there tonight.  Got to paying bills today - took a shower after creating a way to protect the dressing on his belly  LOL   He did well with his injections.  Nurse came.  I called the diabetes doc and mentioned about the missing needles..they will order  sigh.  Mailed letters and ran to Trader Joes.  Good day.

Been busy with yard work, etc.
And... scrubbing the rug where Camper's shoes tracked rotten pear parts. As we returned home Sunday and were walking up the sidewalk, the neighbor's pear tree tallest branch cracked and then fell into our yard. We lifted it over the fence. But we had to stand in our flower bed and that is where his new shoes with deep treads picked up rotting pear parts from previously dropped fruit. Yuck.
Busy, busy

Thanks Baz.  I am not worried about a loss of power as I have my whole house generator installed and ready to go!   Damage from the numerous pine trees surrounding my house is another thing! They look straight and are not moving much in recent winds but so nothing to do oiw but hope and pray they stay in the ground and also hope  the fence stays put!   Do not think I will flood and car will be in tge garage.  Tornados?   That is a whole other thing!
Dr. Hall was here Sunday and said, How are you?  I said, falling apart!  She said, I have duct tape in the car!   Lolol!  She and family are spending the week in  Yellowstone!

Feel sorry for the albie parents!   Hope and all have safe journeys and , another season starts! I’m
Also praying M and F are not harmed  or homeless from this storm!
Tsk, is Tim still in tbe hospital?  See his own cardiologist?   Hugs.

Seds

(((Karen))), I hope you don't have an allergy to the duct tape!!  ;)  I remembered your generator after I posted! You are going to give it a good workout! So glad you have that in place and ready to go now! Stay tuned in, and make it so your alerts DO wake you up!! I will be thinking of you and Piper, and hope your pines stay upright. Take care.  :-*

Music gets played and then it

BL, I got to see them in a very small space venue not too long after they got started - seems like it must've been around the later middle 1980s or so... in a small outdoor setting - with maybe 150 people? Plant your behind on the steps style seating, if I recall... certain refreshments flowed, and related fog, too, prolly. LOL. Gosh, you're sending me down one of those long ago lanes...

OG, thanks! Great article!!

KB, that's a great portrait of Lollie!!  His name is misspelled on his collar tag.  ;) ;D ;D ;D

Phyl, I'm glad the gel injections and exercise therapy, etc. is going great. P.S. I'm not at all in any kind of harm's way from the Helene storm. But you are definitely in the lane for its inland impacts, so y'all stay tuned in for that. Fingers crossed it will not bring flooding rains your way! Take care.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: baziunc on September 25, 2024, 01:09:11 AM

Lani, thanks. I'm glad to hear there is progress made on the West fire. Scary close. Beautiful photos from Katmai!!!

TSK, glad you're finding some time to get some sleep in somewhere. Glad Tim is home and doing better! I'm lost as to the belly incision?  I only recall he had an infection that is delaying gallbladder surgery, and he had the cardioversion by way of trachea endoscopy. So I'm sorry I  must've missed a surgery? I hope he's more comfortable soon, and that your regular routine is restored soon. too. ((Hugs to you both.))  :-*

Lisa, I second Lani's suggestion about your Christmas card list and your dealership guy.  :D

Hurricane Helene is not coming near me. Yay! I will get a little wind and some rain from it, but no big impacts where I am, thankfully. Karen's town is in harm's way - so much so that The Weather Channel has one of their on-air meterologists now stationed in her town for live TV reporting as the significant winds come through that area, and rain... Karen's town may experience 65-90 mph winds, depending on the strength of Helene at landfall, and because of how quickly it will move to her location Thursday night after landfall in the FL panhandle's Big Bend area. Prayers for all in its path - 10-15-ft storm surge expected in some coastal locations in the area of FL's Big Bend area... not survivable in a 1st floor house, and maybe not in a 2nd floor. Prayers that people who should, will "RUN FROM THE WATER!" and "HIDE FROM THE WIND!"

This is the current 2:00 AM Eastern time forecast track for Helene. It gets updated several times a day. It's currently forecast to make landfall in FL Thursday as a high-end 120-mph Cat 3 Major hurricane, and move through the panhandle into southern GA, then through the southern Appalachian mountains of GA/SC/NC with incredible flooding rain totals forecast, as it then tracks northwest through central TN, and on into parts of many mid-west states. The current forecast track is at the link below. Remember the significant impacts, including deadly flooding rains, will affect broad swaths of areas way outside the track cone, which is only an indication of where the center of the storm is expected to travel. This is a large storm, and it's getting larger as it gets stronger, too. Prayers for all in its path.

Beakers, some incredible good news found me today. I have been in a bit of a health and medical whirlwind since the beginning of July, with many tests and different sorts of imaging at several locations and such... chasing after a hard-to-pinpoint "mass," and a sideline surprise discovery of another sort that came to light while imaging to find out more about the mass. That sideline discovery was not of any special worry, but would require surgery to remove it as a precaution, and to biopsy, though that was expected to be of no special concern, should be benign. The real concern was "the mass" that was having a hard time getting better defined. Okay, this sounds strange, I know, but I'm sparing you the details. And all for the best anyway, because, guess what!?! - after all that, the good news that found me today is this... The worrisome "mass" doesn't exist after all!! It's a long story!! AND, neither does the non-worrisome sideline thing!! !! !! My surgery for that was scheduled for about 10 days from now, and the hospital had called me early today to go through the pre-surgery instructions and all, like they do. Well I picked up the report mid-day today of the results of the most recent imaging I got home from at 8:00 PM last night, and immediately fired up my computer to read it - that report was on a disk with the images. When I read it, I was overjoyed!!! But I waited on my specialist's call, who had ordered the imaging, so I could get her professional official take on the report. She called me late today, and we talked for a looong time. Bottom line... There is no mass! And, there is no "sideline problem!" And, there is no surgery needed... it is canceled! It is all normal!! !! Nothing is wrong!! And, there is no follow-up procedure or appointment or check-up of any sort whatsoever required! Over! Done! The End! !! !! !!  :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

baz, that's crazy!!! Yay for no surgery!!! Very perplexing, do they have any explanation of why there was a mass and then there was nothing? Yes, life is weird and complex yet very simple!  Glad to hear that you are ot in harm's way with the storms coming!

Lani, Katmai is so beautiful I bet one could take a thousand pictures and still want more in Alaska. Our country is beautiful everywhere! Oh, and thanks for the Irish Homestead link!

karen, sounds like you are ready for whatever! So if your power goes out does the Generac automatically come on?

tsk, I was thinking that insulin users probably have the pen by now. So much easier, and Tim is right, you can't even feel the teeny tiny needle. Sorry you had to miss your meeting, but I'm sure that didn't stop you from praying! You definitely need to know what Tim is supposed to do so you can remind him! I think a lot of people sleep in recliners! Sleep is sleep...

oldguy, enjoyed the Penny video, wow, Penny's Mom is very creative! Thanks for the info on the mums!

The Beautiful Changes

By Richard Wilbur
One wading a Fall meadow finds on all sides   
The Queen Anne’s Lace lying like lilies
On water; it glides
So from the walker, it turns
Dry grass to a lake, as the slightest shade of you   
Valleys my mind in fabulous blue Lucernes.

The beautiful changes as a forest is changed   
By a chameleon’s tuning his skin to it;   
As a mantis, arranged
On a green leaf, grows
Into it, makes the leaf leafier, and proves   
Any greenness is deeper than anyone knows.

Your hands hold roses always in a way that says   
They are not only yours; the beautiful changes   
In such kind ways,   
Wishing ever to sunder
Things and things’ selves for a second finding, to lose   
For a moment all that it touches back to wonder.

Karen I hope  you and Piper will be well.


{{{Tsk & Tim}}} thks for the update. Glad to read the injector pen situation is solved. Should Tim find his incision is 'itchy'. He  might gently
use his  palm to gently run the area. When my spleen was removed for the ITP and incision became 'itchy' one of the  RNs told me that.

Bazi Congrats!  Just so happy for you.  That is the most wonderful news.    :-* :-* :-* :-*

Lani those landscapes from  Katmai last night. I think the very bottom one would make a bang up puzzle.
So glad your  West fire situation has improved. Poor wildlife.


CLynn In the 'pink' today.   Tks for Lesley's (theBirdNerd) photo of Bluejay. So she's back? Thought she quite tkaing photos. Anyway.
 Your snap of the deep seabed would make a good puzzle too.

OG  tks for info on mums. Enjoyed the 'Penny' video

{{{Baz}}} Yep "Life is Weird and Complex, yet very simple at the same time." it's all about perception! So True!!  ... I'm very happy for you. I can read the joy and relieve in your post!  :-* ... take care  :)

Clynn, beautiful morning pics... I enjoy watching the Irish Homestead family. Each video you see the family settle into the area and watch the restoration of a 200 year old barn into a home. But what I love is watching the pets they gather. LOL! Started with a Border Collie who started shepherding a neighbor's donkey Toby and keeping track of family members, then they adopt Toby... chicken/rooster join family.. Collie is shepherding donkey, chickens everywhere...then up pops a black cat, then ginger cat and more cats (they started fostering cats)... collie is shepherding the whole herd now through the barn they are restoring and around the property and trying to keep track of the adults all at the same time! Then another dog joins the family, now there's three dogs and Toby has a girlfriend. LOL! All in a year's time! Poor Collie I wonder when he has time to eat and sleep.  ;D.  ... awesome pic of the Mariana Trench. That would be a wonder to dive and explore.

Phyl, your morning pics would make great puzzles... glad your knee is staying limber, good luck with pt.... gorgeous stag and harem... thanks for migration info.

Hi Tig, Lisa, Kb, Karen, Puff   :)

Good Afternoon Beakers
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/81/25/31/812531ebdd3a48b15cc7b86e4569b601.jpg)

oldguy - Thanks for the info about the mums.   :D

tsk - I hope you caught up with your rest/sleep.  I hope Tim can get comfortable so he can rest,  and not be in pain while turning.  Glad to hear he did good with his injections!

tig - Sorry about the neighbors tree in your yard, and Camper tracking in rotten pear parts.

karen - I just looked at the radar on TWC and you are not in the cone now, but that could change.

Lani - WOW, the pics from Katmai!  Thanks for the Sloth TV pics, so sweet!

baz - LOL, I took the suggestion and got his address yesterday :) Glad for your good news!

clynn - Love all your pink pics this morning, and wow, that underwater pic.

Phyl - Good luck at PT.

The worst of the wind and flooding rains will be to the right of, and north of, the center of Helene. It does NOT matter if Karen's town is in the cone anymore or not!! Her town is still expecting the worst of the impacts for that area!! !! !! including potential hurricane force wind gusts, and big flooding rains!!! And the cone can move left, or right, at any time! Karen's town is still under a Hurricane Warning! It is NOT a hurricane watch - it is a Hurricane Warning.  That means hurricane conditions ARE expected in that area within a 36-hour period or sooner!!  (((Karen))) Stay safe. Hugs!!

This is a very, very large system - it will bring hurricane and tropical force winds and life-threatening rains well outside the cone!!! The cone is ONLY where the center of the storm is expected to track. People need to understand this. People who haven't learned it and were outside the cone and were affected awfully by life-threatening wind and flood and storm surge have lost their lives, property, and more in the past. Lessons hard-learned!!

Prayers for all in the path of the storm! Not just in the cone!!!


Off to pick up more medical reports. Good ones! ;) ;D

Sorry... people need to understand better about what the cone means and doesn't mean. My trigger got tripped.  8)  Not sorry. And not personal.  :-*

Well, I see Clynn is in the pink this morning!   Think  Clynn’s Mom. Mickey and maybe  Clynn will get a little sprinkle from Helene.  Phyl, you too!   At this stage I can tell you that if I could see better and was in better shape , Piper and
 I would have been in the car and been far, far away from here!
Just went out to get the hummingbird feeder in and I was dive bombed by one, buzzing my head!  Guess it will stay a little longer!   I feel sorry for migrating birds with the storms and all  the other animals!  They are somewhere as it is very quiet outside.
Mickey was awaKen  very early this am by a call r
om Dr. Hall who was getting ready for a hike  some place in Yellowstone.  She said she did not want to waKe me up but asked Mickey to tell me her husband waS on his way home.  Gave Mickey his phone number and said he was going home to take care pf the animals and check on me!  So nice.   He is an Ent. MD.
 Loblolly Pines, while conifers are  better described as very tall telephone poles   With many branches at tgw top that are covered in long needles and medium sized cones!   They are very messy trees, constantly dropping  something, shallow rooted and I have at least 11 on my property.   Southern bald eagles are known to nest in them as well as squirrels and other birds!   They provide good, high shade and  the wind thru the pines is soothing.   May have to say goodby to them!

Baz, good news for you!   Thanks for the weather report!  West side if tge cone better than .east side.   Have not looked lately but think I am East!

Have stayed home thru a cat 3 in Mobile.  This sounds worse some how!
Hugs for Tim ans Tsk!   (((Lisa)))

Hi Everyone,  Missing my regular posts  LOL 

TIG  Been there done that with junk in treaded shoes  :P :P ::) ::)  Can just imagine.

LANI  Awesome photos from Katmai  8)

BAZI  WE have some Helene alarm bells going off for Illinois as well  We shall see..  In order to get rid of the gall bladder infection prior to surgery they had to insert a catheter drain into the gall bladder and it drains into a bag hanging from his belly which is emptied by me periodically and measured .  Further details are unnecessary  LOLOL  I think I'm heading for a nursing degree... ;D ;D
AMEN AND GREAT NEWS FOR YOU.  One of those weight of the world off your shoulders moments

CLYNN  Beautiful pink Wednesday  :)   Our generator kicks in seconds after the power goes out..  Likely similar for KAREN

PHYL   Sweet AM pics  :)  Thanks for the tip on the palm rub.  No such reaction as yet.

LANI   Can see how you would look forwad to watching the Homestead family - What a group  LOL

Days see some progress even if minimal.   Still waiting for Tim to be able to do his injection without my supervision.  He should be golden in another day or two  ;) ;)   Doing some walking without his walker  YAY   I finally got outside and worked 45 only cutting down perennials and cleaning the 3 birdbaths.  One more section of the garden to go that has most of the milkweed and perennials
 Baby steps

Have a good night!

(((TSK and Tim))), yep, that's what I was talking about when mentioning Helene is heading for several mid-west states. Maybe you will get some helpful drenching rains for the parched ground there! And hopefully no damaging effects. I forgot about the drain! I guess when I heard "incision," I was thinking something bigger than what I envision was done for the catheter. But I'm not on my way to a nursing degree like you are, LOL, so what do I know!  ;)  I hope Tim has less pain soon! You worked a long time in the yard!

(((Karen))) (((Piper))), I hope you have your "safe room" set up and ready, and you and Piper get to it right away when the loud audible NOAA weather alerts tell you to take shelter. Hope you won't need to!! That's so nice that Dr. Hall's husband will check on you. Do not be tempted to go outside during the high winds! For any reason. Piper will have to make do indoors during those high winds - even if it means closing her up in the bathroom or some place similar for a while, followed by a clean-up on a hard floor, like a bathroom floor, if necessary. Safety trumps discomfort or not being happy every time. The good news is that Helene is going to go through very quickly, so at least it isn't going to stall or linger! I will be praying for you and Piper, and all in the path of the storm.  :-*

Clynn, your post was Pretty in Pink this morning!  :) Yes, my doctor and I believe we know what the phantom mass, and also the phantom other "sideline" things were, and we are in agreement about that. It always makes me feel better when my thoughts line up with my doctor's. LOL. But since they no longer appear, since they don't exist, we don't have proof. Just our good senses and brains.  ;D


The 5:00 PM Eastern time update for Hurricane Helene from the National Hurricane Center was just released. It's going from bad to worse, unfortunately. Hurricane Helene is now forecast to have even higher winds at landfall. It is now forecast to be a Category 4 Major Hurricane at, or just before, landfall with sustained winds of 130 MPH, with higher gusts. Storm surge in much of FL's Big Bend area is also now forecast to be up to 12-18, possibly 20, feet above dry ground at high tide, with crashing waves on top of that. Storm surge forecasts are for the most likely worst case. It would be expected to be somewhat less, but still awful and deadly, if the storm made landfall at low tide vs. high tide. Many other areas of the coastline have life-threatening storm surge forecasts, as well.

Current 5 PM Eastern time update for Hurricane Helene:

Baz - great news for you...sounds like the mystery was solved.

Been really busy today mowing/bagging I'd say 1/3 of my ash tree leaves....leaves are now hanging on with our warmer temps....looking back at pictures, she's usually down by the end of September.

Hmm, found this out:

Cameron Crowe is writing/directing a biopic of Joni Mitchell...Meryl Streep will play the older Joni. Completing this fall.

Just read tge National weather service update for Valdosta!  Wow!  Totally different forecast.  Wind but gust possibly 45 mph.  Most winds lower speeds.  Rains not horrific.   Had to check the date and time several times!
Think this has moved more than a tad to the west!   Prayers might be answered!   Truly afraid to believe this!

Well, I will have to contact my computer technician this evening. I have this constant pop-up stating my McAfee anti-virus has expired and there are 5 viruses detected, I do not have McAfee, I have Norton 360. The pop-up just keeps popping up, and makes a noise every time it does. It is very annoying! I have tried closing Edge but that didn't work. There is a way to go into Edge settings but I will let Erin do that!

Lani, what cute pictures of the baby sloths hanging in a bunch! I am looking forward to the Irish Homestead family videos! Beautiful sunset at Katmai...

karen, I hope that forecast you got is right! That would be a prayer answered...

baz, love your good night picture/words!

tsk, sounds like things are progressing at your house, slowly but surely. I had to watch the Ozempic video a few times before I felt I didn't need it. Now I am a pro with the injection. What a marvelous invention the injection pen is! I need to do some chores outside now that the hot days seem to be gone!

To Autumn

By John Keats
Toggle annotations
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
   Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
   With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
   And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
      To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
   With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
      For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
   Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
   Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
   Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
      Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
   Steady thy laden head across a brook;
   Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
      Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.

Where are the songs of spring? Ay, Where are they?
   Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
   And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
   Among the river sallows, borne aloft
      Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
   Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
   The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
 And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

Hope everyone had a pleasant evening and a good night's rest.

  Did I get a 'workout' in PT yesterday.  Got home yesterday late afternoon and was all done-in.  Did spend sometime on their exercise bike. It was fun. And, then I realized that I miss mine. Think I will look for another one.  There's no place that doesn't hurt or is tender.
 Took home a modified exercise sheet.  And, will re-incorporate exercises I had long strayed from in daily routine. This coming Monday is my last
Euflexxa injection. Then I'll probably finish out the PT on Mondays and Wednesdays.   We had more rain, yesterday and last night. Hopefully the weeds will pull up more easily now.

GOOD MORNING

BAZI   Listened to our weather here in Chicagoland and they are predicting just some increased windy weather - no rain.  We are too far north I think.  Southern Il might be more affected.  Boy, that is going to be some hurricane. Prayers.

KB   I've always liked Meryl Streep  She's 75 now.

KAREN  Temporarily good news for you!!!  Let's hope it holds.  I have a friend in Bradenton,  She just got new hurricane shutters and new door.  She's just praying she doesn't lose power.

CLYNN  Love that fall front porch  ;D    For that kind of thing I have two notes  " Press alt, ctrl, del, all at once"  the other is  " in  the Menu choose " task manager"  Highlight Chrome and hit end task"  Don't know if you use Chrome or not.   Love that "tree house".  Wonder what kind of "company" visits  LOL

I'm still here, too, Phyl. . .Did I miss something?  Mostly just watching-trying to get things done.  Don't know what happens sometimes with ambition.  So much to get to, get through.

The stars from the Northern Royal Albatross Cam have fledged! Watch the nestling from the Top Flat nest depart out to sea on September 23. The young albatross will spend the next several years navigating the Pacific Ocean before returning to New Zealand to find a mate.

Hi there Puff and Karen  so happy you ladies are still 'with us' !  ;) Don't think so. I was just missing you and concerned.

Hi Arcadia!

Puff a person can have whatever they want to eat for dinner. Every now and then we have breakfast for dinner. Does one good
to 'shake things up' in their life. IMHO

Good news for Karen - 12:25am EDT sensor readings on the northern eye wall are down to 83 mph with eye wall just north of I-10.  Inner wall storms are just arriving at Valdosta.
 Cams in Valdosta however are showing lots of power lines/transformers flare-ups.  So Karen maybe on standby power by now.

update
1 am update by NHC is 110 winds and 945 mb  - next update on the projected cone is not until 5 am - current position is to the east of active cone.  The worst of wind and rain is now past Valdosta.  With current track, the center should be to the east side of Atlanta, while cone shows a direct hit.
At 1:10am reports that there are 30 active flood warnings related to this storm - many of them along the east side of the Smokies in GA, SC and NC  Much of the area will be receiving significant rainfall in the next 4-6 hours.
SC has been having several tornadoes this evening/morning.

1:30 am EDT update on the weather models have been released, showing Helena maintaining a NNE path with the storm center heading for Vidalia SC and then to Ashville NC
This will add up-to 8 inches of additional rain to the flooded areas.

Thanks Old Guy!  Power stayed on quite a while and then off and on and finally off!  Still having wind gusts and heavy rain and something hitting the  house.  Will take until morning to find out what!  Mickey was on the phone with me watching the storm as my tv went off and I pad not tracking!   Still have a lot of noise on the house.  Too much for pine cones!  Banging!   Oh well

Lori, love seeing you this morning with your beautiful words. Same prayers here...I am waiting to call karen, I know she and Piper are not early risers and she probably missed out on some sleep last night. Praying all is well! Kay's sister lives about 70 miles south of karen, wanting to check on her too.

oldguy, thanks for the updates!

karen, hoping all is well! And that all of the loblolly pines are still standing!

Lani, I never thought about Sarasota being affected by Helene...but it was! I know CROW was preparing the animals for the storm, hope all is well there and with Mike's brother. Love the pictures of the bears and love the way the yearling is laying, he looks like a soft cuddly baby! Gorgeous Katmai sunset!

tsk, Erin got rid of the annoying pop-up for me! I am going to have to ask him to write down how he did it or walk me through it when they are here Sunday. We were on the phone and he was doing it with Teamworks, his fingers were all over the screen so I couldn't tell exactly what he did...  Oh, and I totally agree on breakfast for dinner! Pancakes, French toast, omelets etc. !!  Great video of #602 catching a fish!

Waving to (((All the Beakers))). Hugs to you All!  :-*


(((TSK and Tim))) How are you all doing today? I have also been thinking of Tom and his wife - their Florida home! I pray they are safe, and their FL home has survived without serious damage. Let us know.

((Phyl)) feel better. Hope you don't get damage from the current form of Helene affecting your area, and beyond.

((Clynn)), thank you for reaching Karen and letting us know how she came through. Hugs. Glad Erin got your computer taken care of, too.

(((Lani))), prayers for Mike's family in Florida!! Sarasota was hit hard!

(((Karen))), I'm sooo glad you and Piper are okay, and your home sitll has a roof and walls and windows, and your generator is humming away for your electricity. Thank the Lord! I hope your vet/ her husband/ animals/ and property are all ok too. I have watched the news thro the night and today, the aftermath, of Valdosta - much of Valdosta is crushed/damaged. So glad you are safe, and your home is intact! I know that cable TV services/internet/wifi/fiber optics/satellite TV can all go out even when your electricity is working. I think some people do not think of that. Of course you can lose TV even while your electricity is on... Otherwise, you would need an antenna connected to receive free OTA broadcast, and I don't think I've heard you mention that before, but it's something you can look into for the future at some point, that would keep you connected via local TV channels even when cable/satellite/other TV transmission routes are out.

There are very reliable reports of many meso vortices that directly hit Valdosta last night during the hurricane - they had winds of 100-130mph in different spots around town in Valdost! This is something that often comes with the hurricane's eye wall - and Karen's town went through the northern eye wall, then the quiet eye, followed by going through the south eye wall!!! Extremely damaging, and the town's buildings and trees are showing it today. Bulldozers were used this morning in Valdosta to help clear some roads of debris - bricks, roofs, signs, trees, walls of buildings, and so on!

Karen, I am sooo glad you and Piper made it through!! I'm sorry about your fence and trees - a mess I understand - and will probably be a long time to get right again - resources, including labor, will be scarce due to the widereaching effects over at least 5 southeastern states, so far. Hugs!!!

The Weather Channel is doing extensive on-air live reporting from Valdosta, GA, in addition to many other towns that were hard hit.


Thanks to all who inquired about my family and me. I am fine. Squall lines and the outer bands of Helene reached me because of the jog to the right/East that Helene took just as it went by Tallahassee, on its way to Valdosta and beyond last night. Zippo spent the night in our safe room, and is still there, and will be till later today. We are unscathed! She is not happy... spoiled baby.. I have had a couple love and hugs sessions with her today, so that helps. LOL. She'll get over it. Treats help.  Many tornadoes have passed by all around - none have hit me. Tornado threat here till 6pm today. But we are both safe, and no damage at my home, or nearby that I know of at this point. Lots of small branches, leaves, and "salad" on the ground. The gators and large pond turtles don't mind. No complaints from my part of the world!

No, all my mtns family are not dry, though they are high. The water in my Mtns Sis's home poured in from the roof down their bedroom wall and over the head of their very large bed which they are not capable of moving. Their generator went out 2 months ago and the repair part has been on back order since then. Very bad timing. Loads of trees down all around her - everywhere! - none on their house, thank God. Their grown son and his wife also live in the mtns an hour-and-a-half, or so  drive away from them through the mountains of eastern TN and western NC. That son and wife live in the northwestern NC mtns, and my sis is in the northeastern TN mtns, - they live not too far from the state line between them. Her son, wife, and their current, temporary home that they are living in while they build another home for retiring to, are ok. However, he has been working hard today at one of their rental properties in the NC mtns not far from West Jefferson, NC, to get furniture up higher in hopes of mitigating loss in that house - the nearby river is rising and there was water only in the basement of that house so far, last I heard this morning, but the river was still rising. So I odn't know the current status, and won't bother him by asking anytime soon. I imagine he may be trying to get to his mother's house (my Mtns Sis) to take them a small generator to use temporarily to run lights, refrigerator, TV, but he may not be abe to get there due to basically all roads blocked are gone. I have been wondering if he is not even able to leave the town where he has been working on that rental property, due to impassable roads.

All the rivers in the western NC/eastern TN are flooding - it is catastrophic in the southern Appalachian mtns of GA, SC, NC, TN, VA, so far. Everywhere!! One reservoir was reported this morning as overtopping. Lake Lure's dam is threatening to fail, so people are being evacuated below that dam. But roads are almost all closed - bridges out/ roads washed away - thousands of trees on roads. I hope those threatened can get to higher safe ground. It is truly catastrophic, life-threatening situations in the southern Appalachian mtns.

Prayers. More prayers, for all affected in so many states.

The NC Dept of Transportation has put out a statement to consider every road in western NC to be closed.

Beakers, I'm taking a break from posting - there's too much going on, and the status at one minute is not the same as the status at the next.

Take care. Hugs and prayers for all.

(Sorry for any and all typos - I'm not going to proofread at this time.)

Among other pieces of this domino effects rolling disaster, one of the hospitals in the mtns (unicoi, I think) is damaged by flooding, as well as their ambulances, and people are on the roof of that hospital. Catastrophic is the word, in many towns, cities, and states. Prayers for all.

The tornado threat here is past - it has shifted north of me now. Zippo has been sprung from her unhappiness in the "safe room" now, and has forgiven me, and says she loves me again.  ;) :D

Here is an image of the preliminary Best Track of Helene.
It looks like the eye went just west of Valdosta as a Cat 2 Hurricane, putting Karen on the "dirty side" of the eye wall.  :(  :o  ::)

Here's a link to the radar image of Helene making landfall.
https://bmcnoldy.earth.miami.edu/tropics/radar/

Karen I sure hope you an Piper are still making out OK.   :-*
Do you have any damage directly to your house ?
If no you definitely dodged a bullet.

Good timing on the whole house Generac, at least you have power and that's a biggie because that area could take awhile to get power fully restored.  :( 

The NHC did a great job of forecasting Helene's projected path as the storm progressed very rapidly.

The CROW campus is flooded but appears to have only sustained minor damages from the storm. Our hospital did not take on any water inside the building. All staff, students, ambassadors, and patients are safe.
Concern for everyone’s safety is number one priority and we wait patiently to be able to return to the island to assess the full extent of Helene’s impact.
Our phone lines are currently down. Please bring any sick or injured wildlife to BluePearl Pet Hospital in Fort Myers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Northern Floridians and all affected by the storm. 💚

Oh my, the flooding from Helene in s horrific!      I am so sorry  for your family and all the folks in that beautiful mountain area!   The weather has been lovely i. The past!  Hugs to your sister and etta!   Rest up from alk the storm reporting you have done!

Int Internet and phone are back in service, but no electricity as yet it will take longer for that I am afraid. backyard fence remains broken and it’s difficult to custom Piper. Do you going potty on a leash? I hope they fix the fence soon not my fence you know just across my backyard. I would put a fence up myself if they didn’t mind but it would certainly require them to remove those, on next-door neighbor have a tree removal service remove a pine tree from her yard as it dropped a few branches which is unacceptable to them and she had them clean off my driveway not completely clean, but the big branches of everything are gone and I thought that was quite nice of her. I didn’t realize she had done that until I went out with piper tonight , I still have a tremendous number of broken branches of all sizes, pinecones and trash all in my yard front and back of the interesting thing is the southside is apparently quite clean but the east side and apparently branches of trees blew east neighbor down the street lost a pine tree that landed on his roof and it would’ve been an eastern wind that took it out. Enough of this disaster and thanks for your prayers piper and I are very tired and probably turning in soon so I will say good night and thanks for the pictures of the Holland flowers reduce the crow and all.

Updated 30 minutes ago (can scroll 22 photos at top of article - with updated info below pics:
https://apnews.com/live/hurricane-helene-tracker-maps-updates

Last update I saw, at least 43 dead across 4 states... much sadness.

My info about Hurricane passing over Valdosta were based on live TV reporting as it did so, by a WX Channel meteorologist who was on the ground there at the time. Sorry if I didn't get it right? Best I could do based on watching it around about midnight on TV. He said it was not completely dead calm, but only a slight breeze, but thought he was in the eye at that time, as did those in the studio watching the radar at the same time... but they were all basing it on the radar appearance and the on-the-ground meteorologists experience. They didn't have all the "after it happened tracking" available while it was on-going of course. It must've been very close to the edge of the eye wall by the eye... I guess. I'm just a regular person with no expertise. Couldn't help posting about what I saw and heard on TV as it happened in Valdosta. I'm just glad Karen and Piper are okay.  Hugs, Karen. I know it' was a rough night there, and I hope you and Piper got some rest today and are okay, and your home, too.

My Mtns sister is cut off. No roads in or out of her town are passable yet. But they are safe.

Karen, I just now saw your post as I was trying to post. Thanks. Good news overall there for you. Sleep well.

Post by: baziunc on September 27, 2024, 09:01:19 PM

Karen, thank you for thinking about my family. Etta wasn't my Mtns Sis's cat. Etta was my other sister's cat, who is the grandmother to my LGN and Baby Bro. Sadly, Etta passed this summer from a devastating illness that arose suddenly and was not treatable. I don't expect you to remember me posting about that - don't worry. We miss Etta every day.  :-*  But my Mtns Sis does have 3 cats. They live in northeastern TN, about a 30-minute drive west of Boone, NC. Most everything all around there is in catastrophic Emergency Flood status. Her home is above the flood level, but all the roads are impassable in and out of her community, either due to flooding, road damage, or trees fallen on roads, or debris. Myother sister, who was Etta's "mom," lives in the north central area of NC, not far from Chapel Hill and Durham, NC.

Western NC and Eastern Tenn. is having record flooding.  Radar indicated rainfall over the past 48 hours for this area, shows amounts of 5 to 24 inches of rain.  This is the mountain area, so run off is fast and does lots of damage.  Below is the inter-active NC-DOT road map, showing the closed roads.

https://drivenc.gov/

Much of this area is also with out power - no one can get in or out to give status updates.  Not sure on cell phone status.

KB, I hope your friend is okay. I don't have any specifics on Brevard at this time, but that whole area is mostly impassable, and many areas have no phone service of any kind, except satellite. Major, land transmission feeder lines are down in many parts of the mountains, though I don't know specifics for Brevard. Brevard is a gorgeous area, and the town is very special - a true gem of a place. It is the county seat of Transylvania County, NC, just south of Asheville, NC, in gorgeous mountains at the entrance to Pisgah National Forest. That's in the southwestern mtns of NC, just south of Asheville, not too far from the SC line. Here's some news, with an update as of 10pm, Eastern, tonight:
https://www.transylvaniatimes.com/news/update-flood-warning-in-effect-until-8-15-p-m-thousands-still-without-power-roads/article_b8d304ba-7cce-11ef-bec1-5f6ad2ea014f.html
If you scroll down that page, you may get more specifics. Fingers crossed for your friend and their home to be okay, though possibly cut off due to impassable roads all through the mountains.

Asheville, NC had no cell service earlier today. I don't know if they may have some now. Some cell phone companies take COWS (Cellphone communications On Wheels) to areas to help during major needs, but roads are mostly closed or impassable in the mountains of NC/TN, also in many areas of the mountains of SC, GA, VA, too., so they may not be able to help for a while. And many communications towers are down in many areas.

The Cats Will Know

By Cesare Pavese
Translated By Geoffrey Brock
Rain will fall again
on your smooth pavement,
a light rain like
a breath or a step.
The breeze and the dawn
will flourish again
when you return,
as if beneath your step.
Between flowers and sills
the cats will know.

There will be other days,
there will be other voices.
You will smile alone.

The cats will know.
You will hear words
old and spent and useless
like costumes left over
from yesterday’s parties.

You too will make gestures.
You’ll answer with words—
face of springtime,
you too will make gestures.

The cats will know,
face of springtime;
and the light rain
and the hyacinth dawn
that wrench the heart of him
who hopes no more for you—
they are the sad smile
you smile by yourself.

There will be other days,
other voices and renewals.
Face of springtime,
we will suffer at daybreak.

Currently: 61F cloudy , High  66F light rain  with  Low 61F

  :'( Such sad news from Florida, Georgia and North Carolina---especially the lives lost. Again the first thing on my mind when I wake in the morning ---millions of folks without fresh water, electricity, possessions, loved ones and homes!    🙏 s     

Relieved to read that {{{Karen/Piper and Bazi/Zippo}}}are well and safe.  :-*
Sad to read about destruction at  CROW, to echo--hadn't been long since they rebuilt from the last tropical cyclone   🙏 s


Bazi and Tsk Thank you for asking about us---Nashville has some flooding as we were under a NWS flood alert. We got about 4.19" rain fall in our Old Hickory Hills  area  alone.   Remember?  On days like we've had, it's the barometric pressure that make arthritis worse.
The rains have stopped . What a blessing!
Still I always think of the stray, unwanted and unloved  cats esp who have no safe place to go.  :'(   🙏 s


Tig yes. Prayers for Capt. Johnny

Hi CLynn awww Silver Tabbies this AM. Makes me think of 'Tiger'  he was with me in my teen years; cheery kitty quilt

Thanks for supplemental' Helene'  news OG and Bazi

Tsk glad  to read Barb and Tom are "ok", and your friend in Bradenton, too.

Lani  awesome BE last night


  Prayers for: The Fallen of Abbey Gate, Vietnam, Korean Conflict, WWI and II; Police and First Responders.  Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people.   'Little Gray' and 'Little One' ...All abandoned, abused , lost cats ... stray, unloved, homeless stray and feral cats; The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere .

GOOD CATURDAY MORNING

BAZI  So many hugs to your mountain family cut off now.  Let's hope it is not for too long.  Wow I didn't realize Etta had passed but sounds like I forgot.

LANI  Yes I remember how CROW had to rebuild - Happy to see when they rebuilt it was "flood proof"

CLYNN  Cute Caturday kitties :)   It is so hard to look at all the flooding damage.  So long before so many people can resume their lives.
Biltmore - Let's hope they took some sort of precautions.  Valdosta damage - Boy oh boy.  Saw that cat quilt on FB yesterday. Love it  LOL

LORI   Thanks for posting LB's pics of darling Penny - Happy B-day #5 - and that gorgeous Tika

Wow  a? Idid not remember  Ettas passing either!  RIP baby!
I am sure the Biltmore Estate is still high and dry!  The village, built as housing and shops for  the workers who built the home is on low land and has flooded before!  Hope it can be dried out and cleaned up and restored!

Met my neighbors from across the street and he is going to get a couple of two by fours this afternoon and try to make a temporary repair on the part of the fence in back so I can let Piper out to do her wondering around and do her business she does not do well on a leash, and I do not do well walking so between her me and the debris that’s all over the place. It’s not an easy job to walk her around, they moved a 10 foot long blah blah lay branch with associated little lambs and Pines stuff away from the Buy away from my office window, and I feel very fortunate for last or anything. The man across the street is originally from Florida, and he is amazed at the amount of debris that has fallen here. He has never seen anything like it having lived on in around interstate 10 for about 30 years I have never seen this much either except once driving through Highway 90 just east of Pensacola a year after hurricane Ivan and saying debris still piled up on the highway , I feel very fortunate that my house is still standing and I do not think he has any damage. I will try to replace that fence in the back once I can speak with the people that on the existing fence, but the existing fences are about 20 years old and do for a rebuild still deciding on the removal of the live lollies of which Sarah 13 or so very expensive propositions saw the reports on Crowl and HeLth. That cleanup is pretty quick. I’m glad to hear the animals and their staff are good. Happy birthday to little Penny she has quite a nice  dog visitor going to get off and see what I can accomplish here but I don’t think it’s gonna be much a lot to do however, but the body is not willing was nice to meet the people across the street. They seem very nice. Be back later.

Post by: BrokenLug on September 28, 2024, 12:11:28 PM

KarenG a few nosey Generac questions as our neighbor is looking into one.
Does your house have a natural gas line running to it?
If it does, why did they hook the generator up to a propane tank?

Ie: Pips brother has an underground natural gas line running to his house from the street for his furnace/Stove & 'they ?' ran an underground line right to his Generac in the backyard.

How long will your generator run on (your size) 1 tank of propane ??

~ When looking at these power outage maps remember the numbers provided by the power companies are Customers Tracked & Customers Out.  ~
A "Customer" is ONE electric meter .. meaning 1 to many people can live at one meter.
US avg is 2.6 people per household. I'm not sure which households have 6/10 tenths of a person. LOL.  ;)
So the true actual number of people without power is much higher.

https://poweroutage.us/area/state/georgia

Image below is Karen's county in GA. Lowndes.
So that's 32,259 electric meters serviced by Georgia Power Company.
31,738 of which have no power or 98.4 percent of the county. As of 09.28.24 9 AM EDT.

So if you use an average of lets say 2-3 people per meter that's a lot of humans in the dark, no AC .. etc .. etc  that's a total bummer for extended power outage periods.

2nd image is the latest 3 day rainfall totals from Helene.
Two 1/2 FEET of rain in Busic, NC.    :o

Lori - Destini looks beautiful with her fresh new hair-do and nails done.  Hope she forgives you soon.  :D  Thanks for the Penny pics!  Tika is one pretty pup.

BL - Thanks for the Disturbance 2 info. 

Phyl - Love the 365 of the rosemary. 

tig - Sorry to hear about Capt. Johnny's loss. 

clynn - I would love that cat quilt!

karen - I am glad to hear that you met your neighbors across the street, and that they are willing to help build you a lil area for Piper to go out.  Sounds like you have some really nice neighbors who are willing to help you.

KAREN   God bless your wonderful "new to you" neighbor.  How did he notice you needed help?  I wondered how you hold your balance with Piper on leash.  :o

BL  I know you did not ask me but our Generac runs off the natural gas line to the house.

LISA  In tragedies like these I also agree that communities come together to help out   Thank goodness  :)

Post by: karengramke on September 28, 2024, 02:26:12 PM

Bl, think my propane tank is 250 gallons.  They fill at 80%% to allow for expansion in the heat. I am told that this will ooerate my house for 2 to 4 days.   
We do not have natural gas in this subdivision.  I wish we did as I would prefe that continuous supply.   Also, great for cooking!

AlL in all, this is the most  yard waste I have ever had in the 30 years of living a little north or south of I 10. all in all, I am pretty grateful for my situation as there are many people in far worse condition than I find myself. I am extremely frustrated with my physical inability to get out and pick up the yard waste and move it, but that’s life when you’re older than dirt, I am hopeful that the fence repair will be done today so piper can get out and sniff her usual stomping grounds. The man across the street said he would do that .even though I didn’t think doctors made house calls Dr. halls  husband was coming here to fix the fence!   Now the man across  the street is doing that!

The new neighbor just moved in where Jackie lived!

Lori, awww, Destini is miffed... but she will get over it like she always does! I was watching Sophie and Sam earlier, she was on the highest part of the kitty condo, he was on the next one down, and they were slap-pattying each other. My phone was in the other room so I couldn't take a pic or record it. I am sure they will do it again though, it was so funny!

karen, glad you have a nice neighbor!  Piper will appreciate it I am sure. If none of your loblolly pines came down in that wind they must be healthy!

Lisa, love the cat picture!

Lani, love your kitty pictures, they are all beautiful!

Phyl, good poem and sweet cat pictures.

Harley, Sam and Sophie, all wanting in! They love going out on the deck until they decide they want in!

Happy Caturday, Beakers!

Aww... everybody's kitty pics today are sooo cute!!  :D :-* :-*

The news update this afternoon was that the death toll due to Helene had risen to 53, and counting. Three of those deaths are in Valdosta, GA - a baby and 2 others. Devastating. It's just devastating for all involved. Tennessee has set up a missing persons phone line for people unaccounted for. The hopes are that it is just that they have no way to contact their families, or vice versa, to let them know they are okay, or where they are. Many people are still in their homes, cut off in every way from the rest of the world. There is no cell phone service or other communications, as well as no internet/wifi/electricity/land phone lines across many, many, many towns and communities. Most roads are impassable. Many of those will be without for many weeks to come, they have been advised.

Two of my family's mountain households are greatly impacted by the flooding in the TN and NC mountains. Thank goodness they, and all their furry family memebers, are safe, which is very good news. My Mtns Sis and her older husband, who is recovering from a serious back injury suffered in a recent fall, live in TN, and they are still cut off from the world due to impassable roads and bridges. They do not have any internet, wifi, TV, or electricity, and have been advised they may not for weeks. The infrastructure is heavily destroyed. Even their electric coop there has no working phones. My Mtns Sis does have cell phone service, thankfully. Her son and his wife, who live in the NC mountains, can't get to my Mtns Sis to help her and her husband - the roads are impassable all over! He and his wife had stored their previous home's contents in the basement of one of their rental properties a couple of months ago while they are living temporarily in another home while their new permanent home is being built - all in the NC mountains. They tried to raise their stored household things in that rental home's basement, in hopes it would be safe from flood waters coming into the basement, but the water came in too high and it got flooded anyway.


Here is a short video about the little Tennessee mountain town (and county) where my Mtns Sis lives:

Lori, thanks so much for sharing LilBro's "Penny Pics." She is such a cute doll baby!!  :) :-*  Awww, Destini is mad at her Mom!! What an expression!! LOL. She loves her Mommy, so I know she won't stay mad long.  :)  What a gorgeous Sable Shepherd, Tika, you've been dog-sitting! She is just the sweetest looking, and so pretty! Smarts overflowing, for sure!!  :)

Phyl, glad y'all are hanging in there - a lot of rain with that system! Dem bones, dem bones! Hope you feel better soon.

Clynn, that's a priceless photo of the kitties at the door... 'M-O-M! Let. Us. In!!"  ;) ;D :-* :-*

(((Karen))), I am thinking of you every day!! I'm so glad you and Piper are safe! Your town got hurt bad! I saw more live reporting from Valdosta this morning on the Weather Channel - so much damage... and the Valdosta State University was hit so hard, too! The students were packing up their things in the dorms to move out, and looking for places to live while things are closed up there - some are heading back home to their families. Thank goodness for your good neighbors, and your good friend, the vet and her husband, who check on you, too. Stay careful - don't do anything to clean up your yard! Just stay safe! Hugs. More hugs.

Waving to All the (((Beakers!))) I'm heading to watch the 2nd half of my alma mater's football game now. We're beating DOOK!! at DOOK!! So far... fingers crossed.  ;D

Good night, (((Beakers))). Prayers for all affected by the storms. And wishing for comfort, healing, and Peace, for All. Hugs.  :-*

karen, so glad to hear that Piper can go back out in the yard, I am sure there are lots of new things to explore!  Are your new neighbors a family with kids?  I bet they will be watching out for you from now on. Did Dr. Hall's husband get all of the animals taken care of?

baz, I looked up Mountain City, it's a pretty little town. Just a tad larger than Albion where my Mom lives. Sam paws on the glass door when he wants in. The sliding door is open when it's nice outside so they can come and go as they please so when it's shut they have to let me know when they want in!  Boo Dook!

Wormsloe Plantation, Savannah Georgia - The entrance to the plantation is lined with over 400 live oak trees.

Here’s how your cat experiences the world
Cats use the same five senses as humans, but they view the world differently. Understanding them could make us better cat parents.

Bl, think my propane tank is 250 gallons.  They fill at 80%% to allow for expansion in the heat. I am told that this will ooerate my house for 2 to 4 days.   
We do not have natural gas in this subdivision.  I wish we did as I would prefe that continuous supply.   Also, great for cooking!

AlL in all, this is the most  yard waste I have ever had in the 30 years of living a little north or south of I 10. all in all, I am pretty grateful for my situation as there are many people in far worse condition than I find myself. I am extremely frustrated with my physical inability to get out and pick up the yard waste and move it, but that’s life when you’re older than dirt, I am hopeful that the fence repair will be done today so piper can get out and sniff her usual stomping grounds. The man across the street said he would do that .even though I didn’t think doctors made house calls Dr. halls  husband was coming here to fix the fence!   Now the man across  the street is doing that!

The new neighbor just moved in where Jackie lived!

We're loving it.
A community coming together.   :)

From Reed Timmer the storm chaser:

"All roads in and out of Asheville, NC are still closed! It sounds like Asheville is still only accessible by air unless you head up from I26, and even then you will encounter closures before the city. This is an absolute mega disaster for western NC on the order of Hurricane Katrina"

A commenter under this post states that Brevard (where my friends live) had 45 inches of rain in 48 hours.

They need starlink for communication, helicopters, and the National Guard with water drops and more...etc.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: BrokenLug on September 28, 2024, 06:43:09 PM

I'll proffer my tonight thought and let it hang out like humidity here.

KarenG I would think long and hard about removing the live storm tested healthy Loblolly Pines from your property.

Inspection/pruning/maintenance if necessary are appropriate in about 6 months by a trusted reputable professional tree service.
Let the panic tree removal, price gouging and tree jobs supply/demand equalize. 

All of the 'stuff' on the ground now is free from my tree canopy.
My latitude and longitude roots just don't move but yet I sure do sway and my hair is now combed.
I feel like a real lob stuff cleansed as the conifers blow. 
It's all good for the good of the tree even rooted stronger now.   

You could consider it as the most thorough free professional Mother Nature a pruning there is.

If they stood tall after Helene then there's a better than good chance they're "Solid" trees.

PROS
• Mother Nature just pruned & cleaned up your canopy way better than I could on my best chainsaw climbing day.

CONS of removing your trees if they survived Helene.
• The cost of full tree removal. 
• Loss of curb appeal and aesthetics to your property.
• Shade from the south GA heat = big bucks in increased utility costs.
• Healthy storm tested trees around your home actually offer protection to your house from future high wind events.
• Critter habitat.

Think about your trees like Garp and an airplane crash. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTqz4duPdYQ

If the trees on your property withstood Helene what are the chances that another 1 of her strength are going to hit your house in your ownership of. 

As a Certified and Licensed Arborist with over 25 years of experience I've seen way to many knee jerk reactions of homeowners denuding their entire property of perfectly healthy trees after major wind/weather events.

Once I cut them down for you they ain't getting replanted/replaced and offering their former tree benefits in your lifetime. 

As a responsible human being and losing $$$$ cutting down perfectly healthy major storm survived trees we would advise the homeowner to reconsider and walk away.

Advising them that no doubt someone would come along and gladly take their money and perfectly good irreplaceable trees.   

Dead/dangerous/diseased trees in very haphazard locations was our gig and forte.
   
   I always said picked clean like a dandelion and it's gone clean to the stump.
   
   We've managed to take out 1 window, 1 gutter and a 40 year old aluminum Sears shed in 30 years.
   
   NJ Cool cash compensated.

A 120' crane and operator that could pick a porcupines quill from a hounds nose and still leave it's tail a wagging.

I'm sitting next to him at this fire.    ;D

baz DOOKS stands for Duke?  NC did get out of town in time?

kb Something to think about - 45" of rain?  I am now down to 5"1"  that's 61".  Gives me a water mark just about the neck.   Those affected need every one who heard about  Helene to offer their share plus extra of the prayers. 

tsk I keep forgetting to check in my total - nothing!  A big change from a week ago when I had 2"; you mentioned you had nothing.  Last week you had nothing, today was my turn.  We seem to be on opposite ends of the scale.  But we both had those hard winds though.

Oh, don't think  Destini will stay perturbed for long.  ;)

Karen sounds like your new neighbors are going to be kind and thoughtful . So nice they're going to help by fixing the fence for Piper   I have a neighbor across the street who got a Generac and that's the first thing she told me about them was the separate gas line leading
into the house, etc. They love theirs.   Your area is in a bad way ...sending 🙏 s .  :-*

CLynn I've always heard---'One cat is funny; two are a comedy, three are a riot."  ;D       Tks for some info on Mountain City.
Lining the main entrance to the larger plantations with trees  i.e oak. Andrew Jackson's Hermitage, in Hermitage Tn which isn't that far from us is
lined with giant Tulip Poplars  other wise knows as Tulip Grove.  etc.

Lisa I was just thinking your Caturday kitty  was a homage to Misty.  :-*

good advice, BL

I hate losing trees or any vegetation for that matter.

Like you said, it's never the same...My house got so much hotter when my front yard ash totally tipped over, root ball and all in our microburst...20 years later my Maple replacement finally reaches over my roof line and gives me shade....I cried for 3 days. Due west facing.

Also lost a half of my willow in back. Saved her for years but a second storm took her as well....

The entire mountain area between NC and TN got hit hard.  There are 4 rivers that flow into TN - French Broad, Pigeon, Nolichucky and Watauga.  All of them went out of their banks and cause a lot of flooding.  The first 3 all flow into the Douglas Lake, east of Knoxville.
French Broad starts to the SW of Rosman NC and flows thru Brevard, first major city of flooding was Ashville NC, it enters TN near Paint Rock NC
Pigeon starts near Hungry Creek NC -  I-40 follows it down the mountains into TN - major dam breach was reported at Waterville Lake Dam in NC which caused evacs for Newport TN, but this was confirmed by authorities that the dam was not damaged
Nolichucky starts from 2 rivers combining near Relief NC - first major flooding issue was at Erwin TN
The Watauga starts downhill from Mountain City - several creeks flow thru the city before flowing into Watauga Lake - all in TN, but the creeks start in the upper area of mountains in Northern NC.

This is the town that had to evac staff and visitors from the town's hospital - pull up google maps to follow from the southern end of Erwin at the hospital.

Lani, sweet good night kitty with her night cap ...

oldguy, thanks for the video! Great Simon's Cat, haven't seen him for a good while!  Love seeing the bear cubs at Brooks River, they look so cuddly!  ::)

Phyl, yes, 3 cats are a riot, especially two youngsters and the old man. They both try to cuddle up to Harley and he tolerates it for a bit. Then he runs off, like 'I'm outta here!'  How is Ms Maggie doing, I think of her as Dame Maggie! Thanks for the article on cat's senses, very interesting!

BL, funny, I said basically the same thing to karen, if those tall lanky pines survived Helene they must be very healthy! Don't cut down a healthy tree!

tsk, when I talked to Mom last she said they had some rain, but not a lot. It wasn't raining then, and the radar showed solid rain over her area!! They were supposed to get more later, I haven't talked to her since then. Will talk to her today.

Good morning clynn  (one of the other early risers). 

Horrid pic of US 74.  No words.  Prayers for any and all affected.  :'(

Would you believe - finally have a pic showing the teacup for starting the day vs. coffee.   :-*

Being the beak token tea drinking rep I thought I'd celebrate the day by making some coffee.  Very rarely do I ever drink coffee. . .unless it's KONA coffee, especially Kona when in Hawaii.  So in deference to my tea choice, I made a pot of Kona for National Coffee Day.  Ah, but then I do it all the way.  Made a full pot of my supply of 100% pure Kona.  You have to indulge in the real thing to know why I say that.  Not only is the taste great but there's not that ugly after taste that you have to hide by eating or drinking something or brushing your teeth  again.  Now halfway through my first mug of Kona.  Maybe it'll be 3 today (to celebrate the holiday) and then there's an extra cup left to warm up tomorrow. 

Warmed up coffee not such a good idea but it's too expensive to toss.  When I have a client who I help with their trip they usually ask what they can bring back for me.  I usually say a fresh island pineapple would be good.  But when they return they've learned the difference in cost of pineapples and Kona.  But you like Kona, don't you?  Not even easy to find it in my area.  Cost for a pound is - well, you could buy a lot of tea bags!!  Mostly sold in smaller 7-8 oz bags.   Not too many buy it, at least not any of my friends that I know.  Blended versions/blends are definitely not as costly (but the taste  :o  is lacking). 

I will use it when I have guests.  And I use it on special days like today.  And, I use it because I deserve it.   ::)

Anyone have a loooooong straw - I'll share.

P

So - long story short - today I'm having Kona.

karen - So happy to hear that your fence is fixed for Piper.  I bet she is happy, too.

clynn - The picture you posted from Savannah, GA, it reminds me of another tree line street in Savannah....Abercorn Street. That street ran in front of the dorms that Bradley stayed in during his Junior & Senior year at Savannah College of Art & Design.  There was also some beautiful homes on each side of the street.  Yikes, the before/after pic of I-40.

Oh so happy for the early service K.  Now you can enjoy a hot dinner - with coffee.

Someone's done their job expeditiously!!  Giving them a pat on the back and a raise?  What a load of work to get to.

Puff, Karen could already have a hot dinner.  ;) :D She has a brand spanking new and working whole house generator now! Yay! But now she can cook a hot dinner without using propane to run the generator! Yay!

Waving to All the ((Beakers))!  :)

Lori, thanks for sharing Penny Pics from LilBro! I love Penny's new shirt - the Peneloraptor!! Love it!!  :D :-*

Lisa, I didn't know that Bradley went to the Savannah College of Art & Design! That's a Big Wow!! Good for him!

Lani, I'm so glad Mike's brother and his wife are okay. I have seen many videos of the awful damage and flooding in Sarasota, FL.

Clynn, three cats make for a comedy troupe!! LOL. S&S&H need to start an act and take it on the road!!  ;) ;D  My Mtns Sis and her husband live on the top of the mountain ridge above the town of Mtn City, TN, and they rarely go into town where they live for anything - not much there, really. They typically do all their grocery shopping, hair doing, medical appts, and any other shopping by driving either east to Boone, NC (currrently flooded out), or west to Elizabethton, TN (currently flooded out), or drive to Johnson City, TN. They drive to Johnson City, TN at least once a week. That's where they were able to get to today, and get a hotel room! Yay!!


There are some plans starting to be put in place for some areas cut off from transportation and communication - Starlink satellite comms are going to be used to help some of the states, and there are plans for food and supplies air drops in some places, too. The Army Corps of Engineers is working now to find ways to speed up getting more roads passable, even with temporary fixes here and there, to allow supplies to be brought in to the cut-off communities.

Last death count I saw this morning was 61. It will grow, sadly. Tennessee is not giving a total yet - say the total of deaths in that state due to Helene is currently unknown, with many unaccounted for. Prayers for All.

Thanks to all for your wishes for my family members in the mtns of TN and NC who were affected by the storm. Even though my Mtns Sis's son and his wife lost the contents of their home that they had temporarily stored in a different home while a new home is being built, they are safe. But the basement, not where they are temporarily living, but where their home's contents were being stored, completely filled with flood water. It's a total loss.

For someone else who asked... yes, of course my Mtns Sis and her husband prepared with non-perishable food and bottled water!! Doh! LOL. They go through periods of extreme weather, storms, and power loss from the usual extreme weather conditions they experience now and then, since they live in a rural area on the very top of a mountain ridge. That's why they have a whole-house generator. But it has been temporarily not working because of a needed part that is on back order. Awful timing! But it's near impossible to prepare for loss of all communication, aside from a satellite phone, and loss of water utilities/cell towers/ washed out roads and bridges, etc. The infrastructure is gone, and won't be back for months to come in many cases, for so many people in many places. The scale of destruction across such a giant area is incredible - FL, GA, SC, NC, TN, VA, WVA!!!

Great news this afternoon from my Mtns Sis! She and her husband were able to finally get a barely driveable path out of town to a highway that got them to a much larger, way less affected city - Johnson City, TN. She said it was very very dicey in many spots! They got a hotel room! Woot!! Now they can shower, get hot fresh food, have refrigeration, have access to services they need. And sleep! She said she needs sleep more than anything! Yay! Though she said the cell phone and internet connections are still touch and go, even there - so many cell phone/communications towers are completely destroyed.


In other news...
The KC Chiefs play in an hour!! I have to make a run for supplies!  ;D  Go Chiefs!  :D

I have most of Kristofferson’s Albums and a book of his music and lyrics.  Needless to say I am a big fan.  So many of his songs hit home with me  and I still listen to him regularly.  His music is his timeless legacy.

Emy, I have some of his songs in my head but no collection like yours!   Quite an interesting man!

Baz, I think I have written, on the Beak  that  one of the places that I called home was Ashville.   During my two anda half years there I drove up and, down the mountain roads visiting hospitals, blood donor groups and community organizations.  It breaks my heart to see the pictures of the destruction in this beautiful part of the world. I am familiar with mountain city as well as Johnson City, and I am glad to read that your sister and her husband are in a hotel in Johnson City until I am sure the water recedes and makes it safe enough for them to return home, Johnson City has a lot to offer to people in the way of shopping hotels and medical care. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the area but remember a it well.I hope that the new 🆕 Biltmore village can be restored and I am going to be interested in seeing how they repair interstate 40. Well, I don’t want to introduce politics into the Beak , but we as a country  and the world have to do something to save  our beautiful  land from total destruction .the climate changes are unbelievable .  We my house was spared this time and BLI will not be cutting down trees that are not Ready for the telephone pole industry !having  served on a number of  disaster relief agencies staffs, I have seen my share of disreputable
People and I am aware that I must wait at least six months to contact A

tree company in order to have them assess the 14  loblollys in their on my property. I certainly will only cut those that are diseased. Reminded me. If this is what I need to. My front yard is clear of everything, except for a massive pile of pine branches that are at the curb waiting to return to be picked up. The sides are clear of everything, but the backyard is a mess. There are branches everywhere, but I have the
time to get  this cleaned up. Anyway thanks for letting me vent and be safe.  I hope I can see some better news on the beautiful Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains prayers for all in harms way from all the water
Seds



staff across the country. I also am aware that I cannot call anybody for pricing until the storm has passed and I will only be calling a trusted local tree service people to come and give me an idea of what is dangerous and what is not , interestingly enough, I do have three Live Oak trees on the side of my house that had no damage whatsoever to them. I do love those trees and love the avenue of them in in Savannah. I also have some eastern red maples also , some other oaks, and a number of other little trees that are what I consider gentle on my property so, even if I take some of the pines down, I will not be  without trees and I do have to plant some something to replace part of the Pine , that is missing , too much sun coming in in the morning. Well that’s all for the day

I remembered seeing this last year on TV when Kris was at this concert for Willie Nelson's 90th birthday at The Hollywood Bowl. Kris went on-stage and sang with Rosanne Cash! and he looked so happy. I remember seeing and hearing him then made me happy, because I knew of his illness and I was touched to see him smiling and enjoying that. I don't know for sure if that was his last time on stage, but it could have been.

Baz, happy to read you received good news from your mtn sister and hubby. I hope they have a good night's rest and recuperate from what's going on. It's hard to watch the news. I'm so sorry for the loss of life that keeps increasing. Just so heartbreaking  :'( .... yes, the Chiefs won. I held my breath the last minute. LOL. :)

Tsk, Lisa, I thought Pastor Doberman was a very dignified looking gentleman.  8)

{{{Emy, Karen}}} I had no idea Kris K was that old... He and Willi seem ageless..... Loved his voice, songs, I remember songs with Rita Coolidge..Besides Sunday Morning this is one of my favorites https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCgnbRWVvU8

Oldguy, thanks for the article. He didn't seem 88 years old. I'm shaking my head and wondering where the time went. .... his voice and music will be Timeless, like so many from his generation.

Puff, I can't believe Willi is 91.

Karen, I had to look up Loblolly Pine. A new one for me. You and tree experts will know what is best to do.  Take care  :-*

SED Phyl, beautiful day in France.... I hope your knee is doing well.

Good night and prayers for our Beak, Cheers and Forum family and friends. So much sadness and worry, prayers for loss of life, communities, animals, wildlife,

((Karen)), yay for all the clean-up already done around your home! That was quick! The backyard can wait! Yes, you are familiar with all those mountain roads around much of the NC and TN mountains, too. I have been down so many of them (in the VA mtns, too) - big ones, and the little dirt ones, too, more times than I can count, throughout my life. It is hard to see the destruction there. And so many are experiencing great loss and sadness from Helene across so many states. You have seen this kind of destruction and heartbreak up close and personal many times with your work with the Red Cross. Yes, most of my Mtns Sis and her husband's medical care is in Johnson City, TN.

I saw tonight the death toll has risen to over 90 people from Hurr. Helene, with 36 of those deaths in NC, where there are also still over 300 people unaccounted for just in NC, with other states facing big numbers of unaccounted for people, as well. Many towns, and the Red Cross, in some areas of NC and TN mtns have set up special contact numbers and online forms for people to give info about people they are trying to locate or find the status of, and those organizations will take that info and try to locate those people and send status info back to those looking for them. One of the TV news stations here has a scroll running at the bottom of their broadcast screen giving out this info for the various counties. For one county, they are even scrolling the list of the names of streets where officials have completed door-to-door surveys and declared all people on those particular streets accounted for.



Good night, ((Beakers)). Prayers for Peace, Comfort, and Hope for All suffering.

Nice postings for KK this morning.  A lot of choices and he lived several life styles/roles.  I bet it was a lot of fun for him!!!!

Got me thinking of "running into him" at a pool at one of the big hotels in Vegas.  No mob following him, actually showed up all alone in a bathing suit, a towel, and shades.  Completely had two grown up ladies gawking!!!!  Me and my SIL.  Somewhere there's a pic I took.   Lost in the masses I'm sure, otherwise I'd share it.  Ahhhhh memories.

baz, you are so right, there is much more to come from Helene's path across all those states. It is so sad to see the destruction, and to know that many of those with homes destroyed have no insurance because the cost of insurance skyrocketed in the last couple of years. And, thank you so much for the Kris Kristofferson and Roseann Cash video, it brought tears to my eyes. He was a great singer/songwriter. The great ones are leaving us one by one...

Lani, it was good seeing KK sing last year in baz's post and your video, when he was a lot younger.  His music was loved by all, it wasn't just country, he was just as popular in the soft rock world.  https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/celebrity/dolly-parton-mourns-great-loss-of-friend-kris-kristofferson-i-will-always-love-you/ar-AA1rqMNB?ocid=BingNewsSerp

Love Pastor Doberman!  And YAY, the Chiefs won!

oldguy, great article on Kris Kristofferson, wow, I didn't know he had 8 children!  I searched for what he died from...Lyme's disease is what I found, undiagnosed for way too long.  That is so sad...

Emy, thanks for the good video of kris Kristofferson!

Puff, a great memory, I bet you will be looking for that picture... would love to see it!

Lisa, Bradley and Erin would be good friends if they met! Erin is a gamer deluxe, he was #3 in FIFO Soccer on XBox Live in his younger years, and a beta tester for Apple iPhone for a good while, and quite a gamer!  I think they are close to the same age, Erin is 33.

Hi EMY  Thanks for the link - He had such a distinctive voice.

OLDGUY   Thanks for that bio on Kris K.  I remember the marriage to Rita Coolidge.  Didn't know about his Army career.

PUFF  I remember on the road to Hana tour in Maui - his house was pointed out - but you couldn't see it  LOL  Kudos to you actually seeing Kris!!

BAZI   Got teary with that duet.  :'(  In the  links I've read, no cause of death was given.  Memory loss since the '70s.   Like the quote from Hellen Keller. 

CLYNN   Wow  Lyme's disease - Didn't know.

Good Morning!  A hot, humid . Sunny day!    Hard for folks trying to clean up, repair. Etc!   City water is evidently running on generator power and there might be an issue as to how long that will last!  I am on county water and  have not heard of a problem with it!   That is why they tell folks to fill their bath tubs with water before a storm!  At least you can flush!  Lol
Going out withPiper! Bbl and you all have a good day!   Oh, Baz, while in the .Virginia mountains, did you ever get to Big Stone Gap?

Royal Albatross
Kiwa (TF) has been gliding over the Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa | Pacific Ocean for 4 days now so it is appropriate that he has been given this name.
Although Kiwa did not stick around to receive a GPS tag 7 of his cohorts have, one of which has also fledged since tag day.

The Marine Team are looking into public viewing of the tag locations. Unlike Tiaki’s season this will not be on the Albatross Tracker app. We will let you know where this information can be viewed in due course.

In the meantime, the fledged chick has already sent a location... ;D

Good day, Beakers.

Helene's death toll, as of earlier this morning, was 115. And counting. Over 600 now reported unaccounted for just in Buncombe County, NC (where Asheville is), with hopes that is only due to being cut off from communications and unable to be reached due to missing and impassable roads and bridges. Some of the search and rescue missions have transitioned to search and recovery. Many other communities across 10 states are reeling still from Helene's devastation, impact, missing and dead. Prayers for them all.

Some recent info from Buncombe County, NC:

"Buncombe County
Asheville / County

Supplies were being airlifted to the region around the isolated city of Asheville. Buncombe County Manager Avril Pinder pledged that she would have food and water in the city by Monday. "We hear you. We need food and we need water," Pinder said on a Sunday call with reporters.3 hours ago"

A sample story of one man's trek to try to locate his parents in a remote area near Little Switzerland, NC. I have hiked and stayed in, and visited that area a number of times, having also camped in a nearby wilderness area just above Spruce Pine and Little Switzerland, NC. It is a special place up a small windng mtn road:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/30/us/helene-north-carolina-asheville-communites/index.html - (This is quite a story of one person's perseverence against the odds!)

That man was successful in his ability to get through that rugged and broken terrain to his parents' home near Little Switzerland, NC. His story is an excellent example of why there are so many people still unaccounted for!

Here's an excellent report, updated today, for the weather and climate geeks among us, with some photos that may not have been seen before, for the non-geeks and anyone interested:
https://climate.ncsu.edu/blog/2024/09/rapid-reaction-historic-flooding-follows-helene-in-western-nc/



Among a number of other state and local disaster recovery relief and distribution of needed supplies, is this info about federal assistance updated today in the Asheville Citizen Times newspaper:

"In total, 10 federal search and rescue teams are on the ground in the region and another nine teams are on the way, for a total of 900 active personnel, FEMA said.

In total, the following is being brought to the region:

25 trailer-loads of meals.
60 trailer-loads of waters.
A C-17 cargo plane full of food, water and other commodities has arrived.
According to the news release, 200 federal ambulances have been provided to the state. The agency has also provided 40 Starlink satellites to help with responder communications and additional satellites are being shipped to assist with communications infrastructure restoration. One Starlink will be deployed per county Emergency Operations Center. An additional 18 helicopters are on standby to help deliver additional commodities to affected areas.

Further generators are on the way with 30 en route to the staging base in Mecklenburg County.

Families and people trying to get in touch with loved ones are encouraged to call 2-1-1 or visit UnitedWayNC.org to fill out a request form to add them to search and rescue efforts."



Also, links to local info related to the flooding in western NC: (KB, maybe you can get more info about Brevard, NC, at the link on this page, if you scroll down to info from Transylvania County, where your friend, and Brevard, are located.)

Some good news from my Mtns Sis! I received a text this morning from my Mtns Sis! She said she slept last night from 6:00 PM till 5:00 AM, without waking even once! Yay! She was exhausted, needless to say. She and her husband will stay another night in their Johnson City, TN hotel, and return to their home in Mountain City, TN tomorrow. Today they are scouting for additioal food and water and fuel supplies to take back home with them to add to what they have remaining at their house.

More good news today from my Mtns Sis! ... Their whole-house generator is going to be repaired Wednesday - the day after tomorrow! Fingers crossed for that to happen!! And fingers crossed they still have a good amount of propane in their tank at home to power the generator after it is repaired, because who knows how long it might be before additional propane fuel could be delivered!!


My Mtns Sis's son and his wife are safe, have lost the stored contents of their house in flooding in a tiny crossroads of a town near West Jefferson, NC, and are working very hard to clean up from flooding at that location and others. Their daughter is a freshman this year at VA Tech, in Blacksburg, VA, in the mountains of Virginia, which was affected by Helene's flooding also. She is safe, but that whole town, most of its county, and the VA Tech campus in Blacksburg, VA is on a boil water notice. They have no safe tap water, but I received a text that she is safe and okay.

Waving to All the Beakers!

KAREN  Hot and humid is certainly not conducive to clean up of that kind!

LISA   " Leaves are falling..." :D  A Star is Born was one of my favorites as well  ;) ;)

BAZI  Good news for sure.  Sis is brave to return to her home but I would want to make sure the generator is running first!!!  At least they have the time and places to buy and haul back enough food and water..

Had a girls lunch today.  Nice break.

I'm sure I have mentioned before, but I really don't do movies.  Have seen a few in my time, and one of them was A Star is Born.  Thoroughly enjoyed it; movie and music were so good.  I do have a couple KK discs - and I have several of  Barbra's music.  Not really in the same style of her ideas but she sure can entertain/sing.  I think I have at least 3 of her things just for Christmas.  Get in the car, turn up the volume, and SING!!!!   Never saw her show in person.

 Hi Beakers...I'm bbbbbback ! LOL

Here's the skinny on the afternoon:

I had a Maggie barf in front of our Lazy-Boys. Cleaned that up w/  Bissell's Little Green

Got ready for apt w/ Amy , Doc's NP. 

I got side tracked and made Jim/I late---30 mins. :o  But that turned out 'Okay'
Amy jabbed me  in each knee for the 3rd and final time w/ hyaluronic acid gel. Said
this typically lasts for 3-6 mos. But more like 3mos.
Knees feel wonderful---waiting to see if this gravitates to lower knee as opposed to staying at the top where the problem is. But, joint should
be all full up.  Anyway, I'll be happy with 3 mos.

 We decided to stop by McDonald's for our dinner. Can never leave w/o  2 large choco shakes
Think I'll spike my Pepsi with some Barcardi Gold  ;)  Fix Jim a  tall Bloody Mary w/ olives. He such a sweetheart this afternoon. :-*
'
'Mag-Pie' was snoozing in my chair so I  gently woke her ,as she's got grade 3 heart murmur.

Really  missed my exercise bike. So ordered this one this morning.


Well there you have it. LOL

They need to call up the 82nd airborne and parachute them saws and men int asap...or Marines from Camp Lejeune.

Still no word on my friends in Brevard

From Renee Robinson on Twitter:

    I need people to understand something with the news coverage regarding effects of hurricane Helene. There is a lot more to the NC Mountains than Asheville.

    Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Vilas, Sugar Grove, Elk Park, West Jefferson, Black Mountain, Swannanoa, Sylva, Cullowhee, Brevard, Bryson City, Hendersonville, Cherokee, Waynesville, Burnsville, Candler, Canton, Spruce Pine, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Linville, Marshall, Maggie Valley, Newland, Grandfather, Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Old Fort, Morganton, Marion are just a few of the cities and towns that have been flooded and/or destroyed. The counties of Yancey, Mitchell, Avery, Ashe, Watauga, Transylvania, Burke, Caldwell, Alleghany, Madison, Buncombe[3], McDowell, Rutherford, Polk, Henderson, Wilkes, Haywood, Jackson, Macon, Clay, Cherokee, and Swain are devastated and in need of the same help, some even more.

    Other counties that fall under various definitions of Western North Carolina include: Alexander County, Catawba County, Cleveland County, Surry County and Yadkin County. When these counties are added, they form a total regional area of roughly 11,750 square miles (30,400 km2). This makes the region roughly the size of Massachusetts. Western North Carolina holds 11% of our state’s population.

    There are millions of people up there with no electricity, no communication, no water, and no way to get out or let rescue teams even know where they are. I am not taking anything away from Asheville and the utter destruction there or any other areas in NC that have damage. The level of destruction is unimaginable. But it’s not one or two cities or towns that are in need of help.

Lani, I am sure Mike enjoyed your company on the trip to Fountain Hills, and then you both get the peaceful feeling of Payson coming into view after your trek to the city! I have been searching for the article about the Lyme's disease, can't find it now, of course, but it said that undiagnosed for a long period of time will show symptoms of Alzheimers.

Phyl, glad to hear you got your third knee injection, I do hope you get 6 months relief! And then do you do it again? Pepsi and rum, my fave! And dinner at McDonalds! You and Jim are living large! Glad to hear that you ordered your exercise bike, you have been wanting one for a while. That should also help your knees! right?

Devil's Tower, Wyoming

PHYL  Very positive day with a nice McDonald's shake as a reward  ;D ;D    Beautiful prayer last night.

BL  You have been everywhere!  WOW  You are part of the  clean-up team.  Are you with a group or volunteering on your own?  I read on that you helped your friend.  Kudos to you and your team and be safe.  Keep us posted.

I was one of the thousands who did not have Verizon phone service yesterday - For me 9:30 to 5:00   Luckily the call I had been waiting for from the dietician went to Tim's phone so this AM I will call her again.

Morning Beakers!    Yesterday was a  blessing. My new neighbors teenage son moved all the big branches out of the backyard.. there is a lot of little stuff left, but that will move eventually. What a nice surprise, and I am grateful for these new friends.. as of now I am relatively unscathed from the effects of Helene.  So much tragedy and damage all over my heart aches for all involved.
A very happy 100th birthday to President Jimmy Carter. God rest his soul and thanks for all he has done for people in the past.

Morning Eagles4, Lisa, Ezee, Eburg, Weasel, Jilltosa, Kb, Tsk, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eaglesrock, Emyrauld, Lilbro, Blschue, Lori, Clynn, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, BL, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, Nrstooge, Omasawyer, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Lisa, I hope your appt goes well. Safe travels.  :)

Clynn, I can see why Devil's Tower got its name! Geez, I didn't know it was that deep. Spooky!  :o

Tsk, we have Verizon too. We were out from 10am to 2:30... Lots of customers waiting in line at Payson Verizon.

Phyl, I'm so happy for you. Prayers for continued pain-free days for your knees. I can feel the joy in your morning posts!  Last night's peaceful image reflected my hope for the future. Like everyone I've been very upset about the loss of life and destruction in TN, NC, GA & FLA.

Also, yesterday, a very popular mother bear #402 was killed by an adult male bear #469 at Brooks Falls.  :'( :'( It was Live, they shut down that cam on the river. It was devastating for all, I had just watched a bit prior to the tragic event and took a couple of pics. I didn't see it live, I then checked on the albatross. When I returned to the Brooks Falls cam, it was shut down. I deleted my pics that I took that morning. I didn't write about it last night. I'm just able to process it today... she was one of the favorite female bears. She loved to eat on top the lip of the falls and trained her cubs every year from that position on the falls. They will keep her on the Fat Bear list. She had emancipated her yearling Hedgie this summer. Hopefully, he will be able to survive and take care of himself. Thankfully, he wasn't there to see the kill or he would have been taken down too. This was a devastating event for Brooks Falls rangers, families and followers. Loss of #402, Missing Holly, Otis and Divot, it's hard to process and added to my broken heart about the tragic events this past week.  :'( :'( :'(  It's been a few years since this type of kill had happened.

Lori, Love your welcoming October posts. It's fills my tummy and heart with joy!  ;D

Karen, very expensive tree removal price. Happy 100th birthday President Carter.

Kb, I can't read the story, but I'm assuming no one was injured in the end.

Post by: kbshcb on October 01, 2024, 12:27:02 PM

Lani - yes, sorry you can't read the article. It's written well how a young teen was saved after his car malfunctioned with the accelerator not letting up, unable to slow no matter what, etc. Was riveting.
All were safe...trooper and teen. Truly a miracle as the car drove through intersections, rail road crossing etc.

I hope not all Honda Pilots need a recall. Remember when one of the Toyota models did this?

I'm so sorry about the female bear....would be difficult to process for me too.

I know males will sometimes kill cubs and why, but I'm not familiar with them killing females or why?
Not sure if you or the rangers know why either but if you learn it please let us know.

Just pulled one large tier of perennials to get ready for fall.....Only 4 or more to go!...

Thanks for the 365.  Pretty October pics. 

Lori - Love the October pics and goodies!  Hope you are doing good.   :-*

Lani - Thank you! My visit with the endocrinologist went good.  She said, I am the only patient she has seen that has been at a constant 7.3 for an entire year with their A1C.  I am pretty happy about that too, as I have cheated some.  (((#402)))  :'(

Hello Beakers!


The Helene death toll continues to rise. I will spare you the rising numbers. You can look it up if you want to know. The number missing is now an unknown - just say hundreds. Prayers for all.



BL, thank you! I have smelled that smell.



Beakers, good news for my TENNESSEE  Mtns Sis - she  and her husband are heading back home today! - their power is back on!! No clean water yet, but progress! Her NC mtns grown son (my nephew!), and his wife, who lost their stored contents of their home in the flooding not far from where they live, are coming to help my Mtns Sis and her husband today - to help with things, like clearing out and hauling away the contents of their 2 refrigerators and freezers.  I'm waiting to hear from my Mtns Sis that she and her husband have made it home safely. The roads are still treacherous and covered with debris that punctures tires and such, as well.

Bless that nephew of mine and his wife.  :-*  I'm biased, I know.  ;)  They currently live in a remote area of the northwestern NC mountains, but the house they are living in was safe from floodwater, thankfully, as well as the house next door to it - they built both of them in a remote forested area - a few miles from West Jefferson, NC. They are letting a couple live in the home next to them who have lost power to their home. That nephew and his wife are professional restorers, builders, etc... they have been working hard in another tiny west NC mountain town, also not far from West Jefferson, NC, where another of their properties is that they had stored the contents of their home in and lost it all to flooding. They are handling that very well, and are staying non-stop busy helping elsewhere where there is great need. Anyway... that little town is one of the many that was basically destroyed by Helene's flooding. He and his wife are helping clear out and rebuild/restore an 86-year old woman's home that was completely flooded. She lives in a home that is a neighboring property to the property my nephew owns there (where their stored house contents flooded). He and his wife, and some associates of his, are donating much equipment and supplies, and all their labor, of course, and more, to the effort of saving that home for that 86-year old woman. He started a GoFundMe page for saving her home to help mitigate the extensive costs, since they won't be able to get all needed supplies donated, even though some of it is being donated by others to help, thankfully. Of course I won't post the GoFundMe listing here, but I am going to copy the description of what that woman has gone through, below - it is just 1 of the many incredible stories from that region - there are hundreds of them!!

Here is a portion of it: (I'm blotting out her name here. Think of an 86-year old woman, living alone, doing this.)

"M***** S*****, 86, a long-time resident of Lansing, NC, and the town's historian, is in need. Her home, once a gas station owned by her father, was severely damaged in the Helene flooding that has affected much of western NC. At 1 pm on Friday, she was forced out of her home as a mudslide to her right and floodwater to her left gave her no choice. She watched from a hilltop as her town was devastated, walked back down through a foot of mud, and spent 2 nights in that flooded home until roads permitted her to get out and stay with family outside the area.   
  ..."
 

Understandably, I am so happy my nephew and his wife are undertaking this project to help someone who lives near a property they own in one of the tiny NC mountain towns hit so hard by mudslides and flooding. I can just visualize this woman, in all that mud and rain and floodwater, climbing up the mountainous hill and looking down as the town totally floods, and then somehow getting back down in all that mud, and staying in her home the next 2 nights till she could get out to safety with family members elsewhere.




((Karen)), that's wonderful of your nice neighbors to get that work done in your yard! Detours are in all the states now that got hit so hard by Helene. Of course many people still don't have any open roads anywhere to get out.

((Lani)), I'm so sad about that news from Brooks Falls! My heart goes out to all who follow and love the Katmai/Brooks Falls story there. Heartbreaking news.

Lisa, I saw the green on the weather radar near you, and had wondered if you were getting much rain from that. Congrats on your continuing good lab reports!

Phyl, nice treats after your appt.

Clynn, it would be pretty cool if Erin and Bradley got to know each other! They def would have a lot in common!

TSK, ugh on your phone outage yesterday. I heard about that VZW nationwide outage yesterday. Thankfully, I didn't have issues from that here. Glad you're working again and got the call from your doc by way of your hubby.

KB, happy Fall gardening!

Lori, that's a lot of pumpkins! LOL. Has Destini forgiven you yet for her Fall shave?



Waving to All the Beakers. Take care, (((All))).  :-*

LANI   I immediately went to the Verizon store and there was a big sign on the door announcing the outage - Turned around and  came home.  LOL   Oh how tragic and event at Brooks Falls.  Why would a male do that?  I know sometimes in several species, the cubs will be taken ( big cats I'm thinking of when the tribe gets a new male leader.)

LISA   Honda Pilot - The years have to be different!!   Nice job with your A1C ;D ;D

Good for you Lisa!

The new neighbors did supply me with his business card with her name and phone number on the back!   Nice.  In addition to moving very large limbs on the front lawn to tge growing mound of branches at the curb they repaired tge fence across my back yard!  The owners  of the   fences did  not even say thanks as they worked!  Oh well.  The fence has to be replaced!   His son came over yesterday and moved the large branches  to the front yard pile!  All good until  the yard folks can get here.   The young man is a  hs sophomore’s , very bright and on the autism spectrum!   He volunteered that info!   I paid him and I have a gift certificate for the adults to Longhorn to thank them and welcome them to the neighborhood .  The nexr door folks showed up today to cleanup, a little!

Drove around some today and there is a lot of tree damage. Trees are laying on roofs around the area, including in my neighborhood, and an RV is smashed completely, and the front end of it. I hope some of the house and can be fixed without too much more damage to the structures anyway, fortunately for us, we cannot compete with what   HELELE dead in the mountains. Hope everyone has a good night and will see you all in the morning.. SEDS

Lisa, Good appt and report from your dr.  ;D

Baz, Yes, I remember your posts about Etta.... Did your sister adopt another cat?

Tig,  For tree/brush removal, it's still a ridiculous price. Especially, when you're on a tight budget. I know we are. It's why I do a lot of the work. I know you do as well.

Baz, what a wonderful story about the 86 yr old woman... you have an awesome family. I know you're very proud.

Karen, you have wonderful neighbors. It's very sweet of you to give them a gift certificate for their kindness to help.  :-*

Kb, Tsk, Phyl, Karen, Lisa, The rangers think the adult male bear #469 may have done this before, because he was the aggressor and wanted to fight/eat his prey. He has not been seen today.....  The female #402 has been known for years there to be non-aggressive, she always brought her cubs/yearlings to the falls... She tried to runaway. Rangers do not interfere unless it was caused by a human. So, there it is. I'm skipping Fat Bear week this year, thankfully, he's not on the list.... no more discussion about it. sorry...

Good night!

Good night Gully, stay safe tonight.  :-*

tsk, your munching chipmunks remind me, my chipmunks have been busy storing for winter and entertaining the cats!

Phyl, cool 365! Your good morning breakfast looks delish! Jim has a very persistent cold, hope the new meds help. And how are your knees doing this morning?

Lani, so sad to hear about the bears ... there is enough sadness in this world. The animals we know and love watching give us peace, until something like that happens. It's hard to go back without remembering. I just checked the cam, there are over 20 bears at the falls fishing, I have never seen that many all at once!

karen, sounds like you have wonderful neighbors across the street! And high school kids always need to earn some money! They will be wathing out for you for sure!  Good people actually enjoy helping others!  Vicky, neighbor across the street, came over yesterday asking Ed if he could help them with a light fixture. They had changed a light bulb and couldn't get the cover back on and were about to scream. He got the stool and went over right away! He is one of those who enjoy helping others...

BL, sorry for the AI picture, I almost always try to check but missed on that one. I should have known, it was too perfect... This is the part of AI that is worrisome. How is it going with the cleanup?

baz, I think the Helene damage is so immense that it will be around for several years. I feel so bad for those who have lost everything. I am so glad to hear that there are people helping the 86 year old woman rebuild. Disaster does tend to bring out the good in people, and politics are never mentioned. Peace.

Lisa, good doctor report! And it's okay to cheat a little... My A1C was 6.4 before I started the Ozempic, it was 5.3 when I went in August. And that wasn't the reason for the prescription, it is because it reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events. And I have lost 18 pounds, so some good side effects.

Weird Spirits - The house in the image is likely the House of Seven Gables in Salem, Massachusetts.
This iconic Victorian mansion was built in 1668 and is famous for being the inspiration for Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel of the same name. The novel, published in 1851, tells a gothic tale of a family cursed by a mysterious inheritance. While the house in the novel is fictional, the real House of Seven Gables is a tangible piece of American history. It has been preserved and is now a museum open to the public. Visitors can tour the house, learn about its history, and experience the atmosphere that inspired Hawthorne's haunting story.
Key points about the House of Seven Gables:
 * Age: Over 350 years old
 * Architectural style:  First Period Colonial
 * Historical significance: Inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel
 * Current use: Museum

Good afternoon!

Phyl, have you and Jim undergone allergy testing I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that is what is causing many of your issues worth a try thanks for posts this morning and afternoon.     .tsk, 😷
Lani, sloths!🤩
Clynn, love tge house if the 7 gables!, what a fun place for kids to run and play in and a terrible place to have to clean up and downstairs all day long!

Old guy thanks so much for the video of the helicopter pilot flying over the massive devastation in North Carolina. It breaks my heart to see it. I hope they will be able to restore some of the charm that existed in the mountains and entice people to live in the area, I also hope some of the animals who were in harms way have found refuge

I spoke with Dr. Hall this afternoon while she was driving a mobile surgical unit to a town south of here where it lives, she had borrowed it to spay and neuter 100 cats who found a colony to live in  behind a trailer camp behind her boarding and training facility. She was able to spay 20 before returning the unit, but she will continue after things settle down at her house, she has large trees that fell on the deck of her swimming pool and a livestock fence that surrounds the property which is temporarily
repaired enough to keep her animals safe and in side, the property . some of her dogs are at her boarding facility and others in her home  she has no power, except that which is provided by a portable generator. There is no word on when the power in that part of town will be restored. She says it is what it is. I believe she has a wonderful attitude about what cannot be done right now. all in all, I must repeat that I am lucky with my current situation

Happy WinesDay Wednesday, Beakers!  :)

I will try not to whine today, but I can't guarantee I won't wine a bit later.  ;) ;) ;D

Someone asked... My Lil Sister, grandparent to my young great-nephews and great-nieces (not my Mtns Sis), has been gone from home this summer more than she has been home, so she hasn't adopted another cat since her sweet Etta's death in July.

Both of her children's families, (includes her 6 grandchildren), are going to be visiting her for a long weekend this weekend, so it's going to be a barrel of fun there! Wish I could join them!  :) :-*

My 18-and-a-half-years-old privacy fence around my back patio was replaced this past weekend with a brand spanking new one. Zippo was amazingly calm watching it all from her glass patio door perch.  ;) :D :-*

I was out running errands mid-day today, and found myself in the neighborhood of the county health department. I ran in and got my Fluzone High-Dose Flu Vaccine, for seniors. Yay! It had been over 10 years (and 2 days, LOL) since my last TDAP (tetanus, diptheria, pertussis - which is whooping cough), making me eligible to get it covered by my insurance. So I got that at the same time in the other arm. I got the new Covid vaccine 3 weeks ago at Walmart.  All 3 shots were covered in full by Medicare, so no out-of-pocket cost to me. Yay! So, I'm all "shot up."   ??? ;) ;D  Bring on the rusty nails!  :o Just kidding!!  ;D  But I'm protected, just in case! I think about that after disasters - a real concern for those not protected who are at risk of the type of injuries that can put them at risk of tetanus, if not inoculated in advance, or immediately after that kind of injury. I try to stay ahead of that by getting it on a 10-year schedule, as recommended.

I had a crab roll for a very late lunch, so I'm not really hungry for dinner... maybe something light later. Thank goodness it's WinesDay Wednesday!  ;) ;D


Off to take care of things around home...


Take care, (((Beakers)))!!  :-*

Tig - does it accept charge?  If not, try it again, after it has rested a day.  The battery pack contains several battery cells - these cells have to be equal voltage when you go to charge it - if they are not, the charger will not charge the battery.  Letting it rest a day, allows the cells to balance out.  Some times it will happen if you go staight from the mower to the charger and the battery is too hot.

Walmart sells this battery online with free shipping.

Baz - last summer, I asked my doctor about getting a tetanus booster as it had been 12 years since my last one.  He told me that Medicare would only cover it if I was being treated for an injury that could lead to tetanus.  The protocol for the shot has been changed and it is no longer suggested for every 10 years.  Is there a difference between the tetanus booster and the TDAP shot?

KB  Great news on your friends.  Tim's son's wife AMY ( the one with ovarian cancer last year)  - her Mom lives near the Gulf and I forget the town in Florida.  She just finished the repair and some rebuild of her home from the last hurricane and this one is now demolished - all new stuff gone cabinetry, flooring appliances etc all at the curb.  She's safe and living with another dtr in Florida. She's also just recovered from a few small strokes...sigh

OLDGUY   Interesting piece on the Yellowstone activity.  More volatile area than I was aware of.

BAZI  Very productive errand day for you.  Am not aware of the 10 yr tetanus, pertussis, diptheria shot.... ???  Enjoy your adult beverage.. ;) ;)

OG  I did a full day tour at a coffee setup on Kauai about 8 (?) years ago.  They were new to the trade, but not their bushes - now more like trees.  Their claim to fame and bragging is that it takes better because all their beans come from the same ground/soil.  Kona uses bean from varied plantations, makes it hard to get a pure blend of the different bouquets.  I hear Kauai has been the winner at a good numbers of events lately.  Kauai, because of their winning record gets to charge a tiny bit more.  What's a dollar or two at that level.  Never say die - Starbucks does have shops selling their own Kona even in Hawaii.  Makes no sense to me.  I wonder if they have to prove it.

BL where are you?

Watauga County, North Carolina.
There was a line we crossed over along our track to here.
Buckle UP Buttercup time kids it's about to get really real.

I had my oldish paper DeLORME state atlas & gazetteers in my lap.
All of your electronic taken for granted navigational and communication devices are now rendered to paper weights.
Just like 9/11.
Welcome to a real disaster.   
I could not of made it from my front door to Brian's front door without this paper.   
Talk about reaching around your ass to scratch your other elbow to find a passable road.
That might have been the most extreme navigational and logistical trip I've ever done in CONUS.
 
KG I'm currently at my friend Brian's property SW of Boone NC.
His cabins mountain top flat backyard has become an impromptu campground.

Brian already had a um a lil 'boiling water system' in place set up by the now raging coffee colored crick.
A slight modification was made to potable water.

It is keeping the encampment well hydrated with safe drinking water.   
We also mowed something down from the back 40 that seems to have buoyed the crew and campgrounds spirits.
Moral is the key.   

Absolutely no utilities, water or communications other than this Starlink device - very good comm technology BTW.

This Starlink device was donated by and paid for by another friend of mine Captain Kirk another lover of NC. 
Kirk who is a mountain of a man in stature and heart is on a walkabout with Patty his wife .. somewhere ..

Here's the code take the Starlink. 

Another safety 1st chainsaw, chipper, rope climbing gravity guru of mine.

Don't ever go fishing off of the Outer Banks with him he'll darn near kill you hauling fish into Patty.     

Kirk you and Patty relieved so much worry for so many loved ones from around here it's truly amazing.
I'll share my tears of joy later with U 2. 

Brian and neighbors said a gallon of crick water is headed your way.
I don't know how it's getting there from here. 

We're still chainsawing away at as many trees as we can. Gasoline is getting to be hard to scrounge up however.
We're focusing on local roads and the mountain driveways - mini roads that they have here.

It's absolutely the worst natural disaster mess I've every seen and I've unfortunately seen too many being SAR certified.
Crazy damage like I've never ever seen everywhere you look.

Just yesterday I helped extricate a poor lost soul from a mini-van .. hence the moonshine tonight.

I'm tired my friend . 
I know.
I'm going to take another pull off of this mason jar and and hit the hay.

As we perused the community below we smiled so hard without saying a thing.

What a sight.
Tuckered little tough guy sawyers heading for their dome tents.   

Anyone coming anywhere near me operating anything power equipment wise tomorrow at sunrise better take their last pull too.   

It rolls off your back like rain water off a ducks back until the adrenaline wears off and you settle back into your homes secure 4 walls and a roof.
Than It all hits you.

Nature of the beast as we all know as Nature.

Oldguy, very interesting info about Kona coffee and the new law. Lots of blended flavors out there. True Kona coffee is very expensive.

Baz, A very busy day for you, take care... thanks for answering question about sister possible adopting a new furry family member.

Puff, I bet Kona farms/sellers have to prove their product is compliant with the law.

Phyl, love the Fall pictures! 51 here, high of 82 today, much like your day! Hope you and Jim are feeling better today! All of my furkids are doing well, as always, a little prayer for Dame Maggie!  I kept waiting for something to pop up in the 365!  Serenity...

Lani, speaking of Hawaii, how is your sister doing? The best coffee I ever had in my life, Kona. My first husband and I won a trip to Hawaii, around 1977, coffee in the Sheraton restaurant. Heavenly!  Thanks for the TRR updates, awww, there is little Chira!1 Beautiful sunset on the Smoky Mountains...

BL, wow, you are stretching to the limit, I bet you slept well!  I looked up Watauga County and thought the others might like this information as to where you are:

Watauga County is extremely mountainous, and all of the county's terrain is located within the Appalachian Mountains range. The highest point in the county is Calloway Peak, the highest peak of Grandfather Mountain (shared with the adjacent counties of Avery and Caldwell), which rises to 5,964 feet (1,818 meters) above sea level.  Isolated by mountainous terrain from the remainder of North Carolina to the east, Watauga County was described in the 19th and early 20th centuries as one of the Lost Provinces of North Carolina.

As with most of North Carolina's High Country, the climate of Watauga County is that of a humid continental climate, characterized by considerably cooler and more extreme weather than in other parts of the state. Dramatic and unexpected changes in the weather are not uncommon in the county, particularly for precipitation. This is partly due to the elevation of the county, and partly due to orographic lifting, which causes precipitation to fall more readily in Watauga County than in lowland areas to the south and east

baz, you had a busy day, and a well deserved whine, I mean wine! We sisters are making our plans now to meet up in Albion for Mom's 90th birthday on 11/1! I think my sisters and your sisters are somewhat alike, we get together when we can!

karen, Doctor Hall is a good person, I salute her for continuing to help in these trying times. Hope all of her critters are well.

BEFORE & AFTER: Here's how Interstate 26 looks on Tuesday in Unicoi County, Tennessee, near the North Carolina border.

I am very late today.  Went to the orthopedic to get my fingers checked out.  My ring and pinky finger on my dominant hand has been killing me since my fall in the kitchen back in August.  He thinks I may have a pinched nerve somewhere as the xrays did not show anything broken.  He also has me on a prescription of prednisone for 7 days to try and get some relief, and calm things down.   

tsk - Love the morning pic.  Did you get all of your birdbaths cleaned and put away?

clynn - Agree with what tsk said, your morning Fall pics do get you in the spirit. Wow, the Before & After pic  :o

Quote from: oldguy on October 02, 2024, 04:52:17 PM

Baz - last summer, I asked my doctor about getting a tetanus booster as it had been 12 years since my last one.  He told me that Medicare would only cover it if I was being treated for an injury that could lead to tetanus.  The protocol for the shot has been changed and it is no longer suggested for every 10 years.  Is there a difference between the tetanus booster and the TDAP shot?

OG, that's interesting. I don't know the answer to your question, but TDAP for adults is covered by medicare if it has been the recommended amount of time since the last one. The one I got (TDAP by Boostrix) yesterday was covered. I found this:
"The CDC recommends adults get a Tdap booster every 10 years with either Adacel or Boostrix. If needed, you can receive an additional dose of Adacel 8 years or more after the first dose. For Boostrix, you should wait at least 9 years for another dose.Feb 24, 2023"

And:
https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/tdap-shots#:~:text=Medicare%20prescription%20drug%20coverage%20(Part,)%2C%20shingles%2C%20and%20more.
"Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D) covers all vaccines that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends, including the vaccines for Tdap, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), shingles, and more."


So it seems that it is paid for in the combination shot TDAP, for tetanus, diptheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). I don't know why it isn't covered as a standalone booster, except in case of exposure via injury, or disease, as you mentioned. I do not know the difference between the tetanus standalone booster vs the tetanus in combo with the other 2 vaccines in the TDAP shot.

Hi ((Beakers)).

TSK, prayers for Tim's daughter-in-law, and her mother. Just awful. The good friend I recently visited in Atlanta is good friends with her next door neighbor, who's daughter and elementary-aged children live in the NC mtns. They're home is now uninhabitable. They may move to Atlanta to live with her parents for who knows how long, and put the kids in school there since the schools in the NC mtns are all mostly closed for the foreseeable future.

BL, thank you!!  :-*  I've taken quite a few slugs of some quite smooth and tasty NC mtns moonshine over the years! ;) It tastes better when pulled quietly from a back pocket and passed around a very small back room group of lifelong mtns locals, some of whom made it, especially good in combination with a mighty fine old time fiddler in the same room. Will kick your a$$. I may have traveled on most roads in Watauga County over the years, including a secret one my sister and i know of that actually connects Boone to Blowing Rock - one skinny hidden muddy dirt path through the woods, and I have traversed it a number of times. Wonder if it exists now, or if it got turned into a bonafide road, either dirt or paved. Take care, I know you will. Take care anyway.

((Karen)), hope it's not anything more than vertigo - as bad as that can be! Hope you get it fixed at your appt.

Phyl, hope Jim and you are feeling better today.

Speaking of Watauga County in the NC mountains. Appalachian State University, part of the NC's state University system, is in Boone, NC, in Watauga County, and it is now closed after significant damage - Boone was horribly damaged, as well as nearby Blowing Rock (my all-time favorite mtn town), and so many other mtn towns I adore and have connections to - Chimney Rock, Black Mountain, and many more. Anyway, App State is now closed due to the damage, they said today, at least until Oct. 15th, or later.

Helene is now the 4th deadliest hurricane in the U.S. since the early 1960s. The numbers are increasing more rapidly as access is gained to more areas. I cry.



The other day, I mentioned my Mtns Sis's son (my nephew, donchaknow) and his wife are helping storm victims, and also have taken on a particular project for an 86-year-old woman storm victim in Lansing, NC, in the NC mountains, that was damaged so badly by mudslides and river flooding. (That Emergency GoFundMe page has received such nice contributions so far - fingers crossed for that woman!) Lansing, NC is a tiny crossroads of a little mountain town not too far from West Jefferson, NC. This morning, my nephew's wife chatted with NC Governor, Roy Cooper, while he was visiting in Lansing, NC. I just want to give all of them a great big hug and kiss!!

BL, Karen told me you're helping in Watauga County. My son, Paul, lives in Boone, Watauga County! It's awesome what you're doing to help people there. Thank you!

Paul's a professor at App State. He lives out of town on side of one of the mountains. A tree fell on his house hitting two different level roofs then landed on rear deck  and right beside window where he was sitting inside of house. Yeah. He was very lucky. Just missed hitting window and him.

He and his wife hike and camp a lot. One of their favorites was Chimney Rock. God bless that town and it's residents and those who lost their lives..

Paul has trained with a survival SF group in Tennessee. His father is former SF.

Soooo it sounds like you had a good night 'sipping' and a very good night's sleep. You deserved it!!

My husband makes "shine" ... his great grandfather's recipe. Oh my!! And also dandelion wine. Whew! Sip that.

I told my family how you and Pip left the Elk antlers for nature to consume  for me last season. They said, "Very cool."

If you're still in Watauga be careful. And thank you again for what you're doing. Take care.

PAULIE    Thanks for filling us in on your son.  God has other plans for him.  Praise the Lord.  Can he still live in the house?  Is SF "special forces?"  "Hooch" story is funny.  In a similar vein, my folks eons ago, had access to a chokecherry tree and used to make  wine.  A sip would knock you out.  LOLOL

Lani, I am sure that's right about the coffee. The more commercialized things get the less quality. Make it cheaper, more profit. Quality be damned. My Grandpa made dandelion wine once but I never tasted it. I don't think he and Grandma drank wine, he just liked making it...  Sweet gif of the parrot couple ...

Phyl, love the lighted fall trees! There are so many sad videos of the Helene devastation out there...The video just posted is the same one oldguy posted Wednesday, I kept waiting to see them pick up the family with the baby but they didn't show it. I wonder how many others are out there in remote areas that are still waiting... Beautiful birch or aspen trees in the 365, Fall is so beautiful! So sorry to hear that you are feeling worse, hope you can get some rest and wake up feeling better. Crazy temps here, 77 today, 93 tomorrow and 77 Sunday.  :o

Paulie, thank goodness your family members are safe... such wicked destruction, there aren't enough words.

baz, 'slugs' of moonshine! You sound like you are part hillbilly! I am trying to picture it! Great memories of traipsing through the woods on your secret road with your sister! My sister Cathy and I had a shortcut path through the woods when we lived in Duluth in the late 60s. When we visited in 2009 the area was still woods but we couldn't find the path.  Kudos to your nephew and wife for helping others, it's amazing how people come together in a crisis with no political interference. Wish it could be that way all the time...

karen, sorry you are having the dizzy spells again, glad you have an appointment.  There are several OTC drugs out there that claim to help with vertigo, ask the doctor if there is something that would help.

Lisa, I hope the meds help the pinched nerve. I have had that before and it is very painful. I went to the chiropractor, and it helped a lot. I still have a tinge of numbness in my thumb at times but no pain.

tsk, you asked how we won the trip to Hawaii (we also won the trip to Lake Tahoe the next year). We sold Miracle Maid waterless cookware. A couple would invite friends for a full dinner and desert, then we would make appointments to call on them and sell the cookware. We used every piece of the basic cookware set, including what is seen in the picture, plus cooked cabbage, apples and a cake made in the chicken fryer skillet with icing made from the liquid from the cabbage and apples. It was a fun job, but eventually petered out...

tsk, Phyl, Lani, clynn - Thanks  :-*  I have taken the first two doses of prednisone.  I am able to move the fingers a lil better, but I still feel them hurting.  The Orthopedist said, there is a nerve in your arm that runs from your elbow to those two fingers, and when I fell I might have landed on my elbow, since I fell on my right side.  He said, it would take up to 6 months to heal.   :o

tsk - Good luck with your flu shot this morning.  :)  How nice of Amy's friend to set up a Go Fund Me for her Mom.

paulie - Glad to hear that your son and wife are safe.

Phyl - Love the lighted trees from early morning. Thanks for 365.  Hope you feel better soon, and can get some rest!

For me, it's like he left us yesterday.....precisely at 4am on a Sunday morning, 2020.

Miss you terribly dear :-*

For me this is the busiest time of year readying for winter...just started as it's been so dry and warm. The hottest Sept on record and the driest Sept on record.
Watering today, mulched leaves in the back yesterday.
Much more to do before ground freezes...years like this can make it a Mad Dash! But, who knows what the weather will be like in the next 6 weeks.

((( KB )))

Camper will be busy all weekend... taking pictures for his daughter's church/school anniversary.
So... I have some tasks planned. Pool was cool. I got heated when I tried to pick up my prescriptions however. I recall my doctor having difficulty a couple of weeks ago trying to find my prescription on her computer. Luckily, after a lot of hubbub, my pharmacist discovered my doctor ordered caplets or tablets instead of capsules. The insurance company refused to pay... apparently those are way more expensive. It all got worked out and I called my doctor's office to let them know, so it hopefully won't happen again.

Off to the yard waste site, as soon as I finish breakfast.

BL, Karen told me you're helping in Watauga County. My son, Paul, lives in Boone, Watauga County! It's awesome what you're doing to help people there. Thank you!

Paul's a professor at App State. He lives out of town on side of one of the mountains. A tree fell on his house hitting two different level roofs then landed on rear deck  and right beside window where he was sitting inside of house. Yeah. He was very lucky. Just missed hitting window and him.

He and his wife hike and camp a lot. One of their favorites was Chimney Rock. God bless that town and it's residents and those who lost their lives..

Paul has trained with a survival SF group in Tennessee. His father is former SF.

Soooo it sounds like you had a good night 'sipping' and a very good night's sleep. You deserved it!!

My husband makes "shine" ... his great grandfather's recipe. Oh my!! And also dandelion wine. Whew! Sip that.

I told my family how you and Pip left the Elk antlers for nature to consume  for me last season. They said, "Very cool."

If you're still in Watauga be careful. And thank you again for what you're doing. Take care.

Paulie, I'm so sorry for the awful damage your son and his wife have had! Thank goodness they are physically safe, at least. Prayers for them, and all suffering from the effects of Helen's wrath.

TGIF, Beakers.

Some updated numbers related to Hurr. Helene, as of this morning...

At least 201+ deaths across 6 states.
At least 96 of those deaths were in NC.
Of those 96 deaths in NC, at least 78 of them were in Buncombe County (which includes Asheville, NC).
Buncombe County, NC is still reporting at least 200+ people missing or unaccounted for, in that one county alone.
People are missing and unaccounted for in a number of places - not just Buncombe Co., NC.
All these numbers are rising.
There have been at least 79 landslides, and it is supposed to rain today in the mountains of NC/TN, with possible heavy rains in the Boone/nw NC mountains area.

The damage from Helene is apocalyptic. The geography in very many places is permanently changed and will not ever be restored. A number of the small mountain communities may never ever recover. Many places will not take years to recover, they will take decades. Most all of the places that suffered significant damage from Helene, from FL and northwestward, will definitely take years to recover. There are  some people in my area who are still waiting on funds for repairs to their homes from Hurricane Florence - yep, that was in 2018!! Six years ago. Count 'em.  Nothing will be "fixed" in days or weeks, to say the least. I cry.

Prayers for All who are suffering.


Very good extensive coverage, updated in the last half hour today:

oldguy, wow, no wonder it takes so long to get to those remote places in NC, that road is more like a wide path. No gravel, and so many trees. What a job clearing!
Those bear cubs are so cute and mischievous! Maru has taught Hana and Miri to love wearing boxes and melting into containers!

Lani, wow on that view of Brooks Falls! The trees are turning and the snowy mountain in the background, what a picture...

Lisa, I almost passed over that post about the Cedar Waxwings, I thought they were dead and didn't want to read it! Glad I did though! I have heard of squirrels getting drunk from eating fermented fruit! https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=squirrel+drunk+on+fermented+apples&mid=EBE0CB9518E61A2C6247EBE0CB9518E61A2C6247&FORM=VIRE

tsk, hope the vaccine effects are all gone this morning! Is all of your outside work done?  TWC is still calling for 93 today, 73 for tomorrow. Crazy!

Main entrance to Biltmore in Asheville sits in Biltmore Village.  You can see the waterline.

OLDGUY    That is one mighty long road to get off one's property.  That is living in the woods alright!   So cute Ruby and crew, esp Patrick's narration   ;D ;D

CLYNN   WOW   That water line was crazy at Biltmore  :o :o :o   Would love to get to Glacier one day.

Got lucky this a.m about 7 CDT - so did SW nest.  Checked nest just in time to see F23 and M15 started their mating trial.  Hoping they have good luck this season.

Very interesting chat about FAT BEAR WEEK.  Thanks tsk. Also found out the totals are not done yet.

Oldguy, thanks for posting an update from Pat Conley. I'm glad to see his home was high enough and made it through the storm. The last video of Ruby and her cubs was posted 12 days ago, and they were heading uphill. I pray they continued their trek high up in the mountains... thanks for links.

Clynn, love Caturday pics... beautiful drive to Sun Tunnel in Glacier National Park, Montana... oh my, that waterline at the Biltmore  :(

Tsk, Thanks for bear video link.

LANI   Cute AM gif  ;D  Thanks for the links on our favorite winter nests  ;) ;)

This AM made applesauce after a trip to the Farmer's Market.  Smells good in here.  Then a batch of Trader Joe's " Everything but the kitchen sink cookies".  I make them a little smaller than described so Tim can have one after dinner and not feel bad.  Then made up 6 servings of grits for Tim if he wants them for breakfast.  That finished up the box and from now will be easier - portion wise to use the individual packages.

Now for lunch and a rest.

Gorgeous day here.

I hear ya on the watering...so dry. I'm not watering my mature deciduous trees, but am watering my 16 arborvitae....one row today of 9. I have the hose down on the ground with a slow water between each one with the timer set at 15 minutes...this will take me awhile. I'll do the other row tomorrow.
Resting now with this task after spending a few hours before watering annuals, some perennials, and windex spraying the outside of my windows.

Much still to do, but each day getting stuff done feels accomplished.

tsk I'd say we're having the same exact weather down south by me today - unusual.  Beautiful, warm, breeze, puffy clouds.

BTW just got back in - and just passed some of my hanging begonias.  I can't bring myself to pull out the bulbs.  They are blooming and have big lovely leaves.  Looking too good to touch them.  Not the same for everything.  Ate my last cucumber for lunch.  Decorative grasses at the front walkway have turned to yellow/gold/orange with fluffy white tassles being blown in the breeze.  Nice day all around.

Puff, when you get a freeze warning, bring the begonias in the garage and fix them. Why rush things. It is still early!

The watermark on the entrance gate to the Biltmore estate is shocking but glad it is down the hill a way from the house!   The house does not seem to have flooded!   I worked with a  doctor, in Asheville, who was a good friend of the Vanderbilt boys. Who  restored the house.  They had parties and wedding receptions there.   What fun then and how very, very sad now!

tsk - Hope you are feeling better from the flu shot.  Ooops, reading along, I see you have been busy.  I bet the house does smell delish with the applesauce in the making.  I love grits, especially with extra butter and a lil salt on them. I Googled the cookie recipe, sounds yummy!

Lani - LOL, yes it sure did!  Beautiful pic from Brook Falls last night. Thanks for the SWFL videos.

oldguy - Thanks for the videos, especially the Q-Kids one.

clynn - I can see why you passed over the waxwings story and didn't want to read it.  I did the same, till I read your version!  ;D  Wow the waterline on the Biltmore entrance.

tig - Your ramen bowl sounds yummy!

Puff - Waving at ya!

karen - There you are...waving at you too!

Jeff and I went to Walmart early this morning, did a lil shopping, then came home unpacked and headed across the bridge to Outback for late lunch/early dinner.

Well we've done about all the damage to the damage we can do here in the form of chainsaw size wood chips to this NC mountain community without getting in the way of the "Pros from Dover" now coming into the region.

We have a clear path of egress back to the Garden State and we will be taking it back to NJ tomorrow in the late AM or early PM.
I fear a severe bonfire hootenanny is about break out here abouts on this mountain replete with all the Blue Mountain hospitality they are renowned for.
The weather is as sweet as it gets here at this time of year with the stunning Fall colors the area is known for.

74° clear dry low dew and calm winds now _ Low of 51° tonight here.

Instrument pickers poring into Brian's backyard impromptu 'campground' in pickup trucks from all the 4 cardinal points with lots of burnable wood, libations and spareable food, oh' Betty I just saw a fully cooked rotisserie pig go by ..         

We've pretty much exhausted the available chainsaw gasoline on this Mtn anyway.
The gas that is still available here is now better served running power generators and vehicles at this point.

We, Brian & I, also agreed that we're probably using consumables better served to the locals as we do not have the supply chain that the Calvary that has now arrived has. 

Us Yankee sawyers have preliminarily cleared things up enough to get peeps in/out of this very very tiny area.
The four C's of face to crying face of joy and being re-connected _ Connect, Communicate, Commune, Commiserate.   

The big guns are here now & it's time to let them take the helm.
This is going to be a very long road ahead for this region and it may never look the same, but the gumption and spirit of here is remarkable.

These folks in the face of severe life changing disruption are an inspiration to me personally.   :)

I'm going to go personally inspect the structural integrity of this mason jar, that pork and just listen to the sweet age old sounds of the region bounce off of the surrounding mountains.

...

Bazi we're bouncing down that very path from Boone to Bowling Rocks.

A couple of chainsawing pike toting sawyers n the bead saw saw fit.

Lani  You seem to have caught another copulation - mine was earlier, it seemed more  time, more successful.  But you're so right on M bringing back a branch and actually seeing him grab it on the fly.  Good camera work - when he left the nest the camera followed way off to the picking area and grab it without even stopping.  Again camera followed it until it got back and dropped it on the nest.  Good work whoever - real good work.   

Karen I take my begonia bulbs out of soil and bag them in chips that I keep kinda moist until spring.  Plant them in their pots in April and start giving them days in the sun when able.

Your so right about thee watermark on the brick entrance arch.  Very telling, very telling.

Anybody get up early and to get to see the dawning on the Mississippi?  Beautiful colors this morning, some layered clouds added to the picture.

HUGS to all

LISA  This was my best reaction to both Covid and flu shot this year.  Must be the formulas  LOL  Went to bed feely a bit icky but slept through.  No shoulder discomfort - The needles are real tiny now.  You don't even feel them.  Just buy the cookie box at Trader Joes and add an egg and 1 stick of unsalted butter.   We haven't been to an Outback in ages.  Our one in town just moved about 7 min away.

Lani  Been saving begonia bulbs for years - especially as prices have risen.  Just pull them out of the dirt and put them in a bag of wood chips the way they sell them.  Sprinkle water maybe twice during their sleep.  They don't have to endure our winter freeze temps, mostly come back when I put them back in soil.  Of course winter freeze is not the same tween IL and AZ.   What helps is the garage is heated (helps house too since the garage is attached)  ???

Well, yesterday made it to mid 80's by me yesterday.  Today suppose to be lower, in the 70's.  Will have to take care of the feeders/water - make them happy.

Lani, cute pumpkin cats! Temp got to 93 here yesterday, high today is a sunny 73. I have never been able to save any plants for next Spring. The Impatiens drop with the first freeze. I am trying to get more and more perennials , my Hosta bed is looking good. There is one variety that turns ugly much quicker than the rest so I am going to mark those and move them to the back yard in the spring.

Phyl, sorry you are having some rough days, hope you start feeling better today...

Puff, that sounds like a great way to save your bulbs, I bet part of the success is that your garage is heated. Mom keeps her potted plants (ferns, Christmas cactus etc) in the 3- season room during the winter, a small electric radiator-type heating unit, just to keep the temps around 40 in the room.

BL, what a wonderful job you have done for your friends. We are all proud of you! The devastation is so widespread and utterly destructive, it is hard to look at and I wonder how some will ever get their lives back in order...

Lisa, sounds like you had a good day yesterday! Outback is where Ed and I always go on our Anniversary. the last couple of times we have ordered the Bloomin' Onion, the larger filet mignon dinner, with french fries (for Ed), and salad (for me). It's perfect to split the dinner! We used to get too full on that dang delicious Bloomin' Onion to finish the rest of the meal.

tsk, love homemade applesauce, my Aunt Junie had a Yellow June apple tree that made the best applesauce! https://peacefulheritage.com/shop/apple/yellowtrans/#:~:text=The%20large%20yellow-green%20fruit%20ripens%20extremely%20early%20in

BrokenLug - Thank you for helping out NC!  Have a safe trip home.

Puff - I did catch that sunrise at the Flyway yesterday morning, very beautiful.

tsk - Glad to hear that you are feeling better since the flu and Covid shots.  I usually get a sore arm from the flu shot, but I didn't this time.  I actually didn't even feel the needle go in, so like you said, smaller needles?

Phyl - I hope you are feeling better after a day of rest. Oops, I see you are still feeling a lil rotten.  Hope you get some meds from the lil clinic.

Lani - It was a nice day for me and Jeff, and not having to cook was even the best part!  :D

clynn - Jeff usually gets steak and I get Alice Springs Chicken, but yesterday we both got the same exact thing...Alice Springs Chicken with steamed broccoli, but Jeff added a side of grilled shrimp to his.  The blooming onion...yummy!

kb, tig, karen and all - Morning  :)
 
In case anyone missed the announcement....Decorah and DNN go back live  Friday, October 11, at 10AM CDT.

Happy day, Beakers!

BL, thanks, and safe journey home!

Clynn, thanks for the post about the awful, and very hurtful, spreading of untrue rumors, and intentional misinformation about many aspects of the impact of Helene! People are suffering terribly, and don’t deserve that hateful spread of misinformation to be piled on top of everything else they are dealing with. Beware any trolls I encounter doing that.

Karen, your Saints play tomorrow night at the Kansas City Chiefs. It will be on both ESPN and ESPN2, with one of those two channels having Eli and Peyton Manning calling. So make your pick of who you want to listen to.  :D I know who you’re pulling for! LOL. I hope Hurr. Milton’s cone stays south of you. Keep your eyes on that.


Lani, TSK, Lisa, Karen, and others with family, friends, and interests in the U. S. Gulf region, and especially FL region, FYI, Tropical Storm Milton, in the Gulf of Mexico, is expected to become a hurricane today. The current forecast has it landfalling on Fla’s west coast as a major hurricane on Wednesday, and still being a hurricane even after it crosses Fla and into the Atlantic. As of the 11AM Eastern time update, most all of Fla’s peninsula is in the cone. Poor Fla!


Be well, Beakers.  :-*

CLYNN  I work off a list of apple varieties they say are good for various things - eating, pies, sauce etc.  AT our Farmers market I found Courtland and McIntosh and one other on the list I don't remember.  I actually combine two recipes I've liked.  Now I do that one every fall.  There are a million apple varieties -June apple I have never heard of like most of them.  ::) ::)  Thanks for the biltmore update.  Too bad about the animals they lost.
I cannot even imagine that amount of water.  When My friend from Vancouver and I stayed in Henderson, we went to that artist's galleries and studios - Got most of my "souvenirs" from there.  All that hard work.  :'( :'(

PHYL   Glad you will be seen at the Clinic.

LORI   Oh those beautiful Fall Krispy Kremes

BAZI   We all know a lot of family and friends in Florida  :o :-\ :'(

Lol, Sister Katseyes!  That is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. Thanks, LANi!  A terrible flooding in North Carolina and the ridiculous rumors being spread have really gotten me down. There is so much suffering. That’s the rumor mill should be washed away with the mud.. I have been trying all day to find a way to contact a former coworker, friend of mine, who lives in Asheville by herself, and having an able to reach her. Not surprising with the distruction and lack of communications there.. I was able to find an email address and sent her a message and tomorrow will try to contact the church. She belongs to and see what they can tell me if anything I think from Google Earth that her apartment building is OK I am just hoping she is as well, after all, she’s an old lady like me
Now we get  to
worry about friends and family and wildlife in Florida.  Crowl is evacuating patients staff and ambassadors tomorrow and referring everyone to a veterinarian practice in Fort Myers. I certainly hope they did not have too much damage from the storm. Enough is enough. Also hope everyone will say prayers tonight him and his lady F 23. they have a mating longer than we might think and have been seen at it prior to reporting I don’t think they’re ready for eggs at this point however, and I hope the nest stays in there ragtag nest tree. Hopefully the tree will not fall down and wind or water. .
Lori, it is good to see you back posting and thanks for the kk’s.  Bill was sure a hero to some of those gorgeous mountains or at least what was a range of beautiful mountains.. I certainly hope trees will regrow and flourish again.
Clynn, thanks for your post on the Biltmore estate, and on the rumor mill.

Phyl, I still think you and Jim should get allergy testing and see if you could mitigate some of the respiratory issues. Sure worked for me years ago. S sleep well and heal..
Lani ,safe travels to Mike. 
Tsk, the only way I like apples are cooked!  That, of course they are delicious,

Hopefully BL is home and will be sleeping in his own bed tonight

tsk, you beat me this morning! I got a little extra sleep! I looked at the clock and it was 4:43 and I thought I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep so I was surprised when I looked at the clock again and it was after 6:00! Prayers for our Florida nests and for all the exhausted people waiting for another hurricane to hit...

karen, I hope you are able to hear from your friend in Ashville. NC needs constant prayers for the dire circumstances they are living in. People are working together to get through the devastation. It is heartwarming to see neighbors helping each other and volunteers giving their time.

Lani, love Sister Katseyes, she is a beauty and such an intent look in her eyes! Where is Mike heading tomorrow? I must have missed it!  Love seeing the osprey eating a fish at SWFL, I don't think we have ever seen one there! Makes me think about our Hellgate family and send a prayer for their safe return in the Spring.   

Lori, love the pics and goodies you posted yesterday! Hope you and Destini are doing well!

Phyl, did you make it to the Clinic yesterday?

Lisa, thanks for the heads up on the Decorah cams!

baz, I wish Milton would do a U-turn today...

Even got tsk posting early.  Good morning!  A little nippy today - showing 43 right now. 

I've also already checked the Mississippi, too.  Loverly sunrise again - yesterday same way.

SWFL is on the dirty side of the storm, I think!  Usually the east side but think that is the bottom side in this one!   Prayers for all!

Beginning Tuesday, October 8th, please bring all patients to BluePearl Pet Hospital in Fort Myers for care by our team.
The Visitor Education Center will be closed Monday, October 7th and will remain closed until it is safe to reopen following the storm.
Thank you and please take precautions and stay safe throughout the storm. 💚

Good Morning!   Hurricane Milton is now a cat 4 as it slams into the Yucatán Peninsula and over the hot waters of the Gulf on its way to Florida!   I have several friends in the area along with the nests!   Looks like NEFL  will get rain but is likely out of the cone. SWFL is on the dirty side of the storm, I think!  Usually the east side but think that is the bottom side in this one!   Prayers for all!

Phyl, never thought of Maggie re allergies!  Mold, dust. Pollen, grass, tres, etc.  bbl

((Karen)), I hope you get word about your Asheville friend soon, and that she is safe somewhere.


Hurricane Milton is now a Cat 5 storm. It is expected to make landfall as either a Cat 3 or Cat 4. It will be both a major destructive wind and destructive water event, both storm surge and fresh water flooding, on coasts, and with coastal and inland rivers, and areal freshwater flooding, from heavy rains in a large swath, as currently forecasted. It will still be a strong hurricane even after it crosses the peninsula of Florida and pops back out into the Atlantic Ocean.

Mandatory and voluntary evacuation annnouncements for parts of Florida have already begun. People living there need to know their elevation and evacuation zone. I pray they will follow the recommendations of their local, county, and state officials - no matter how long they have lived in their homes that may have not flooded before. This storm is a whole new breed of beast, aiming at much of Florida, and there will be higher storm surges in many places than experienced before, in addition to flooding rains. This is true for much of the Florida peninsula, including many inland locations, including Orlando.

Last I looked this morning, Mandatory Evacuations were ordered already for Tampa and its whole Hillsborough County, for Zones A and B.

The Tampa Airport will close tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 9 AM.  More evacuations and closings will be announced for many places as the track of Hurr. Milton becomes better defined, and brings it closer to land.

I hope everyone in its path takes it very seriously and does not take the "it's never flooded here before" approach. Some people who have said that in the past lost their lives, and others who have said that in the past and survived, by a thread, have said "Never again!"


Take care, Beakers. Be well.  :-*

Prayers for all affected by the storms and other natural disasters and threats.

Lani - Saw a post a bit ago from CROW, they looked to be prepping for the storm, and getting things together.

baz - Thanks for the Milton update.  Man, that is one powerful Cat 5, the last I saw winds at 175mph!

tsk - I had to laugh at your comment about Tim up at 5 with the kitchen lights on.  Jeff thinks if he is awake, that I should be awake too.  He will start talking to the cats, or looking out the bedroom window, and start talking till I get aggravated and get up.  ;D

Nothing I have read about Milton looks good!   Thanks Baz!  No word on my friend!    Ow I cannot find the name of the church she has br
Een active  in!
I needed BL today!  A guy drove up as I was waiting to talk to my yard guy and was pointing out a large branch that was hanging from one of the loblollys!   He was from Pensacola and I Do not like to do business with folks from outnof town! Anyway I agreed to 100 dollars and he climbed and got the branch down!  It was very large.  The yard guy supervised! There is more that needs to be done!   Trucks are now picking up yard debris from the yards.
Tomorrow I have  an appointment with the ent folks…vertigo!   Got my oropane tank filled up today!  Was at 50%  and now back to 80%.
Prayers continue for all in WNC , TN and other flooded  out areas!  Now to add, Florida!

KAREN  Maybe google all the churches near where she lives and maybe the name will recognize the name?  I would be so leery of someone coming up and offering to do a job esp with the elderly.  But you had other people there to supervise so that was good.
Now you have some idea how much propane you use in  - was it two days??  Glad to hear you topped off the tank so to speak.
Hope they can do the procedure that helps you tomorrow.

All of this volunteer hardcore team of chainsaw ripping professional gentlemen returned safely back to NJ very late last night from NC.

I'm going to give them all to a man a huge shout out of heartfelt admiration.

I'd easily walk in & out of a true disaster zone with any of them covering my SIX again.

Tim P. _ Tyrone P. _ Mike J. _ John T. _ .

A very special place in your own souls now exists.   :-*
   
Raise your hand if you want to go _ with the huge big time admonishment _ you're going to see things you can't unsee. 

We all made it home safely from NC back to NJ with all the digits and limbs we left with to the delight of our fair maidens.

I caught a flat tire on I78 near Harrisburg, PA around 9 PM.
A minor travel setback.

I actually can't believe that was the only flat tire we had the entire time there and back out of 4 fully loaded 4x4 pickups.

Trust me we brought plenty of easily accessible spares in anticipation of the tread conditions.

Pip.  :)     Holly shit you look like holly shit rapped in a death taco of shit.     :-* :-* :-* 

I think Pip let me fall asleep last night with my boots on 4 the very 1st time.
Mud from places that I didn't know could gather mud  :o

Well rested after last nights heavy duty slumber.

Hey you cleaned up good.

Sloppy kisses from all the critters on sight on arrival.

A huge hug from my rock the Pippy holding down the fort.

She knows just as well as I do.
She has been on these type of 'missions' before too.

~ Now I see Hurricane Milton bearing down very harshly on the west coast of FL ~

Sadly Milton is going to spank Florida very harshly !

Lani, oh, I didn't know (or remember) that picture was Sadie's birthplace! Mike has a busy week, returning Friday, right? I always say prayers for him when he is traveling...  Lemon Oreos, love them! Lovely sunset at Brooks Fall!  Thanks for the CROW news, we always worry about them when the hurricanes are coming... Thanks for the Fat Bear pics, Grazer is a beauty, love her coloring, and her sweet little one!

BL, glad to know you are back home safe and sound and already headed out for another adventure!  I salute you and the guys, Tim, Tyrone, Mike, John you worked with to help your friend. A great tale of brotherhood and just plain, down-to-earth good people!! How sweet of Pip to let you sleep with your boots on...  You and Pip and Kopje enjoy your trip to the great Fall colors!

karen, any news from your friend in Ashville yet?

tig, very interesting drink! Sounds good, what do they call it? Or did you make it up?  ;D

tsk, Ed would never be up before me, unless he was up most of the night! His sleep schedule is all messed up ever since he started the pain management. But he was never an early riser, he always went to work at 9:00 nor later. while I was going at 6:00.

Lisa, LOLOL that Jeff thinks you should be up when he is! That would never work around here!  And then there is Kelsey, up at 6:30, to be at 9:00. We have caught her roaming around at night occasionally. She will go down and check her phone or use the restroom, so we don't really know how much she sleeps!

baz, you are our favorite storm monitor! Here is a picture of the traffic leaving Tampa yesterday. It will probably be worse today...

buenos dias

A Mexican restaurant took over our favorite pizza place (around since the 1970s) just down the hill from us. They have several versions of this margarita. I add the pop (and lots of ice) so it isn't as strong. The ice helps keep the popsicle cold longer too. And I use the skinny popsicles. At the restaurant they use the large full size ones!  https://cancunmexicangrillcantina.com/

Karen, are you trying to call your Asheville friend on a landline, or a cell phone number?

I found this info online, posted 2 days ago - don't know how correct or up-to-date it is:

To Connect with a Loved One

Residents trying to connect with family members may call NC 211 (or 1-888-892-1162 if calling from out-of-state) to report missing loved ones or request a welfare check.
People in the impacted areas can indicate that they are safe by reporting themselves safe through Red Cross Reunification by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Please only use 911 for life-threatening emergencies so the lines remain open for critical situations.
If you are still trying to locate a friend or family member, please complete this form to notify local officials of their missing status.
Link to that form:
https://fundraise.givesmart.com/form/eejX0g?vid=185w3g
The form was created by Buncombe County but information is being shared amongst all counties.
Regardless of which county your loved one was last known to be in, you can still submit the form.
Buncombe County will share the information with the appropriate officials to initiate search and rescue efforts.
United Way is also fielding missing person/welfare check requests.
Text PERSON to 40403 to add a loved one to search and rescue efforts or fill out this form.
(That is the same form as the link just above.)

BL - Glad you are home, safe and sound.

Lani - I will have to look in Safeway for the chicken.  Beautiful pic from Brooks Fall last evening, and from GSB today!

clynn - And, Jeff does not even try to whisper either when I am trying to sleep.   ::)
Wowza....The Apostle Islands Sea Caves, Wisconsin!

As someone just said - we all seem to be connected to someone SE of the country that is being challenged right now.  Prayers are definitely needed and are being given.

Lisa New cam is definitely doing an awesome job.

Thanks for the info Baz.  The phone I had for Sylvia was a landline and wasnot in working order. Nsent an email which went to a current accoynt but of course she will not get ituntil communication networks are restored!  Thought about calling Red Cross.  We both worked there!  Tried to find her church and I cannot find a listing for it!  Called two others and left a message.
I cannot imagine the effort’s to clean this mess up!  The topography  makes it almost impossible!   I was assigned to a flood in Virginia and  Kentucky and  it was nothing this bad but it took much longer to visit clients because of the roads!    Florida, hang onto your hats!   Swfl looked quiet and damp an hour ago!
Ent folks had damage to theit building an lost a number of trees.   I do bave vertigo again! it is to this time to hurricane and the low pressure. She said it’ll be interesting to see if there is anything happening with this storm. In other words if it gets back or comes back or gets worse . I believe this is true, as my symptoms began as the pressure dropped.
LANY prayers for Mike on his travels and task. I hope Tim will sleep a little later in the morning lol going to close this app and look at Milton some more.

Tsk, Mike talked to his younger bro in Sarasota three hours ago. They rented a B&B 10 miles inland and plan to leave to go there in the morning.

Lisa, new camera at GSB is a wonderful addition.

Phyl, lovely prayer for the Helene and Milton.... YAY your exercise bike arrived! Glad to hear Jim is up and about too.... The cam mod took a lot of wonderful pics of Newman and sunrise with the new cam. He is a handsome boy  :-*.... glad the meds are helping... Take care.  ;D

{{{Karen}}} I'm sorry you're having vertigo again. I guess nothing can be done until the weather changes? I pray you hear from your friend soon.  :-*

Message posted on SWFL cam
M and F were at the nest late morning. M observed from the U branch. F brought a fish to the nest, ate it and chased after a bird that caught a fish at the pond. F perched for a long time in the nest tree. Both flew NE after 7:00p. Stay safe M and F.

Lani, glad to hear that Mike's brother found a safe place to stay. I heard the news telling people that they didn't have to leave the state, just find a place out of the direct path. I always wondered how many run out of gas on the clogged roads getting out of the state. Ed and I were in Amelia Island FL in 1999 (I was there on a business trip) when Hurricane Floyd was coming in. The resort was evacuated and we left in the rented car out of the state. We couldn't return the car, the airport in Jacksonville was closed. Took forever , we were almost to Atlanta, no rooms available anywhere. Lucky for us, Ed has a sister just south of Atlanta and we stayed the night at her place. It is a scary feeling, fleeing a hurricane... Prayers for Mike's brother and family...  OMG, that view from space!  Grazer won!!! That is who I voted for, just because she is a pretty color and love her with her cub! And a girl needs to win once in a while!  Gorgeous pics of Newman!

karen, now that is something, Helene caused your vertigo!

Phyl, hope you wake up feeling better this morning! You are right, you were a mess! I say that as in the past because today will be better! Yay, your bike is here, now you can keep those knees limber!

Lisa, I am chuckling, that Jeff pays no heed that you are sleeping. Ed is the same. Do you give him the LOOK when he wakes you up? Ed gets the look buthe's nused to it!  Love the new cam at GSB, WOW! A better picture always reminds me of the early days of the Decorah cam in 2011. It was stationary, and had poop shoot on it, right in the middle, for the last half of the viewing season! They have come a long way with the cams!

Paulie, continued prayers for your son and family...

baz, I agree with tsk, you are a fountain of information on what to do after a hurricane hits!

Historical Homes of America  ·  Boldt Castle is a major landmark and tourist attraction built in 1900-1904 in the Thousand Islands region of the U.S. state of New York.

KAREN  Interesting to note that your vertigo may be related to atmospheric pressure  Googled this  "Lower daily atmospheric pressure was associated with higher levels of vertigo, tinnitus and aural fullness, and higher odds of an individual reporting an attack."
There is a lot to read on this topic and this could definitely be the cause.  :o :o

LANI  Congrats to Grazer!  My friend in Bradenton is in zone E and that zone was directed to stay in place and not use roads or hotels .  Hmmm  ABCD  were told to evacuate...   All the Florida "angels" are going to be very busy over the next few days. Prayers.  Hope Mike's bro will be OK

Royal Albatross update
"Kia ora koutou" from Ranger Shari Broni!

Just a quick note to say that there are still 2 or 3 chicks left to fledge (this could change at any time given the current wind conditions).

Typically, all chicks will have fledged by the 15th of October and unless parents are missing, they will still come in to feed their chicks.

Although the Royal Albatross Centre is closed due to slips on Harington Point Road rangers have been allowed access to continue the toroa work.

The large amount of rain was not of concern to the toroa as all are fully waterproof and ready for their life on the ocean.

Glad Mike's bro/family don't have to retreat further inland today. :)


Clynn-  An orange theme to match the Flyway this AM and those dream catchers.  So happy the cams have improved. And, not like those of early days in 2011 when I first came to Beakroom.  Poop shoots---they were  everywhere! LOL  You/Ed that close to H. Floyd   :o

I saw this on Twitter X this AM.
 Scary and yet interesting where this could go from hurricane season to  hurricane season. I think.


Just heard report that 'Milton' could make landfall in FLA as early as 9PM ET tonight. Then south to
Naples. When we visited Jim's sis in Ft. Meyers we had rooms in a lovely hotel in Naples.
Such a beautiful and  upscale area . Sure hate to see it and any part of Florida destroyed. In fact anywhere in
any part of the planet destroyed by a disaster natural or man made.

Thanks lani.  I have been watching the swfl cam off and on all day and just looked at it a little while ago.  Still on and still wet.  Wind still blowing and the tree is still standing!    I am hoping the water in the nest does not  make the nest so heavy that it breaks the branchs!

A high school friend of mine lives on Siesta Key, where Milton landed.  I hope she was in Pensacola with her son when this occurred.    Prayers for all!

Happy Birthday Destini!  Enjoy all your goodies!

Unfortunately tornados are a bad part of Hurricanes!

Phyl, hugs fir Jim!  Sirry for his continued disconfirt! Does he have nebulizer treatments?

Lani, hope Mikes brother and family made out well!  Allother famiky members and friends as well!    Piper said, time for bed!  Seds!

Lani, sweet good night picture. All are waiting for daylight to see what the damage from Milton looks like. Sun coming up over Jacksonville right now...  Thanks for the Albie news, just few more to leave, it's been a good season!

karen, the SWFL cams are off, either the power was lost or they turned the cams off. Prayers for all the wildlife...

Phyl, peaceful sunset on the Flyway... Prayers for Jim, we need him to get better!  You too, how are you doing? 

The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) is the fastest bird in the world, and not only that, it's also the fastest animal of all. His daily flight goes around 100mph, but when it comes to hunting he is able to sting at more than 300mph. His entire anatomy is perfectly adapted for the extreme speeds he can achieve. Therefore it is not new that part of its aerodynamics has been adopted in the aerospace stealth sector.

Thanks .clynn!   The area around swfl looks normal this am!   Far less damage than my yard after Helene which turns out to have been a stronger storm!   One of last night’s tornadoes ripped thru a retirement trailer community !   Some how they are magnents for tornados!  Scary.   Waiting for wiskernwings to give a report.  Hope she is okay!
Morning Tsk and Phyl.

Good Morning Everyone!

Currently: 54F sunny , High  80F mostly,  with  Low 50F

Hope everyone had a pleasant evening and some SEDs.  Praying for  SWFL and  Ft. Myers nests  and  those in the path of Hurrican Milton.



I have been reading the GSB thread---catch up mostly. Read a nice bit of info on U90 the  female Perigrine who's been visiting Newman. She's  named 'Elaine' and hails  from South Bend, Indiana

Also---  Like everyone here---I've just check the cams there at Pritchett Farms and Cam #3 and Pond are up----so is nest although a bit worse for wear. I thought there was suppose to be an eaglet? Probably just me thinking.
Yes---hoping Wiskernwings well and safe. And, eager for her report.


Tsk  daylight brings out some harsh realities. Esp. in storms.  I've not checked FNC about Hurricane Milton. Every time the TV in the bed
room is turned on the breaker for the M. BR goes 'off' but only half way in it's position in breaker box. Still have to go to garages and 'filp it'. LOL
As I've not been awake long just not willing to trod downstairs and out int garage in my bed clothes. Gosh! Do I feel rotten---turned alarm off at 5:45AM and went back to sleep. Any way, here I am.  ;D

{{{Karen}}}  CLynn      Jim's better. The issue was a teeny-tiny particle in his lungs. His Doc' s  NP gave him a weeks' supply of Trilolgy, Mucenx and antibiotics.  All that bothers him now is the nasal drippiness and resulting cough. 
Me on the other hand just got antibiotics ...sinuses draining--the wrong way. LOL      We're  sort of a matched pair that's for sure--- ;D

Yes. I heard about that retirement community getting hit by tornado ---so sad ---folks lost their parents, grand parents and aunt / uncles when
that happened.


Prayers for:  Victims of Hurricanes Milton and  Helene . And, those who rescue them; SWFL and  Ft. Myers nests  and  those in the path of Tropical Storm  Milton ;The Fallen of Abbey Gate, Vietnam, Korean Conflict, WWI and II; Police and First Responders.  Our friend and ally the Nation of Israel and peace for her people.   'Little Gray' and 'Little One' ...All abandoned, abused , lost cats ... stray, unloved, homeless stray and feral cats;
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . As always, Beakers, Cheerios and RRP and families.🙏 s

Well, I best get the day started.

I hope all who have friends or family in FL have heard from them, and that they made out OK.  We have been watching Facebook for the friends and family that we know in FL, and all have posted they are OK, just some are without electric, as I would have expected. 

clynn - The Sydney kids are looking good!  Thanks for the info on the SWFL cam. 

karen - Hope your friend evacuated to her son's too.  Sad to hear about the tornado hitting the retirement community.

tsk - Cute Happy Fall greeting.  Has Barb heard how her condo made out?

Good morning everyone. Thank you for all your thoughtful comments and prayers. I am fine, my home is good and our eagles are good. (Cams remain offline but F23 was seen nestled in the nest overnight by our faithful cam-ops) Love you all!!

CROW update
Treating wildlife through the hurricane. Here is a look into our temporary setup at our off-island evacuation locations. Our staff continues to care for our patients through the storm, including this Brown Pelican that was admitted to BluePearl Pet Hospital today. BluePearl is currently serving as our only dropoff location through the storm.
Our thoughts are with all our fellow Floridians impacted by Hurricane Milton. Wishing shelter and safety to all affected.

Phyl,a teeny tiny particle in his lung! A girl I worked, her dad (79) was in the hospital and in an x-ray they saw something in one of his lungs. Turned out it was a peanut he had choked on when he was 6! The 365 of the cranes reminded me of Iceline's pics of the Sandhills in Crex Meadows:

some bounce

FWIW... some local officials advised folks to not return home yet... because of debris, downed power lines and in some instances broken glass from balconies all over the street.

Back to yard werk...

We might go find the northern lights tonight...

Phyl - When I heard that U/09's name was Elaine I had to laugh, cause the first thing I thought of was Newman & Elaine from Seinfeld.   ;D ;D

paulie - Thank you  :)

tsk - Glad to hear all is well in Naples!  I hope B&T have a safe trip down on the 25th. 

Lani - Glad to hear that Mike's brother is OK, and so is his home.  Thanks for the SWFL and CROW update.  :)

clynn - Glad to hear that NEFL is good too!  LOL, the backyard chickens!  I know my nephews wife would do the same for her chickens. She loves those chickens.

tig - Hope you get to see the lights  :)

Hi Beakers!  :)

Glad to hear most all of the Beakers' FL family and friends are accounted for and safe.

I'm good. Seems like many of my neighbors are sick - 2 with covid, another waiting for covid test results. Another neighbor has shingles, and I've been helping her place the lidocaine patches on her back and side. She has many significant health issues, and so this is piled on top of the others she is dealing with. Another great neighbor, who rents the unit across the parking lot from me, found out the owner of her unit is going to need it back for a family member to use, so that neighbor is scurrying around looking for a place to move to that she can afford on her own... a difficult task. I hate it for her, and hate to see her go. She loves living where she is currently renting and is very sad to have to move. My Lil Sis (not my Mtns Sis) has a raging sore throat, as of yesterday morning, and feels bad. I'm waiting to hear from her today to see if she went to get tested for strep/flu. She tested negative at home for covid, and will repeat that test in the recommended 48-hr time period.

Good grief!

I'm heading out to the grocery store.

Take care, (((All))).

Prayers for All in the path of the storms and other natural disasters, and in need of Comfort, Healing, and Peace.  :-*

PHYL  Forgot to mention -  Loved your fall berries this AM

LANI   Golly, it looks like Crow employees are treating "visitors" in their hotel rooms?  LOL  Maybe I have that wrong.  That is dedication!!!  I think Gov De Santis said it tactfully that notwithstanding the deaths and destruction - it could have been a lot worse.
Mike's bro can return to a home still standing and hope no flooding inside.

CLYNN   Thanks   What!!  " a peanut in his lung for 73 years!!!"  Wonder if that was written up in some medical journal  :o   Thanks for the NEFL update.  Oh my gosh - Even the backyard chickens have it pretty good LOLOL   Kind of sad but look at those roses still telling a story.  :-* :-*

LISA   You are so right!!  Newman and Elaine  LOLOL

BAZI    All this sickness and sadness in your post.  When it rains.  Hope Lil Sis finds out soon for early treatment.  Then your neighbors - Shingles is bad enough but then to have the nerve be one that is not easily accessible for treatment.   :(  So nice that you can help her.  Not fun to have good neighbors move. Hope she was aware that being booted out was a possibility when she signed the agreement.  She better have enough time to find a place.   I see your boyfriend has announced his retirement after the next tourney .  :'( :'(   But you knew that I think.

The plan.  Tim will have his gall bladder surgery at noon on Monday 21st and can't be soon enough for him!   Sleeps in the recliner as the catheter insertion site remains painful with change of position.   Once he recovers from that, he will switch from insulin to Ozempic which was the plan before all this happened.  He was put on insulin in the hospital and was sent home with it.  For 2 1/2 weeks we have tried to make this work but is not something Tim can manage easily.  It is hard to regulate and seeing that we have never met this endocrinologist ( must have been on call when Tim was hospitalized) I will cancel the visit to his office for 10/31.

My friend on Siesta Key  evacuated to Miami and spoke to a neighbor who said the house is fine!  She plans to fly to Pensacola before returning home!
Friends in .bonita .springs are good.

Put a request in for my friend in Asheville.  They respond on 72 hours.  I hope and pray she is okay.

Word on several  news casts is that Helene was the  worse of the two storms
.
After a trip thru town today I can see a lot of damage here. Mainly from wind.
The city of trees is no more or at least   Much less so.  Trees falling on houses and vehicles….s sea of tarps!   I still cannot think of this e lovely  mountains ! Oh, clynn, those lovely Roses, coated in mud trying to give folks a glimmer of hope!   Well, beakers, tomorrow is a new day with new adventures waiting for all of us!    Seds

Uncharacteristically, we were suppose to have views of the northern light 8-3 (some said 10-2).  Sadly, NADA!   :'(

I'm waiting for local news/weather to find out if there were any local reports to mention.

Good news is I'll always have the real deal of a few shots from Alaska.  Those always are a fond/fun memory.  My best pic is a super display behind me at the top of a ski area north of Fairbanks.  Someone phoned a wakeup when there was action (3 a.m.) for a snow tractor ride to the top of a hill.  Enterprising young fellow had a studio on wheels to offer to take pics.  $$$ that time, but the real thing. I do have some of my own that I took a couple of times.  More fun to follow/watch the lights than getting the pics - but I'll remember both.  I wish I was better with this dang machine - I'd love to share.

How about you tsk - Did you have anything up north by you?  I'm thinking you were recouping from the day with Tim.  We did get lucky with a clear sky, but . . . .

HI Lisa and Puff I'm up earlier than usual because Maggie woke me  out of a sound sleep howling at top of her lungs. So thinking she's starving as honestly, I didn't leave her much food when I went to bed last night. So got up trodded down stairs and set food  and such out.
Came back  up and she was asleep on our bed. Go figure!

Well, I am late this morning! Had to watch oldguy's video, then got sidetracked...  ::) ::)

tsk, I sure do hope Tim gets to feeling better after his surgery, he has been through a lot lately, and you too! Goodness!! You guys deserve a break!  I have had no issues from the Ozempic, I hope the same for Tim.  I worried about Charlie's feet too, don't think I could have headed out there barefooted! So much destruction...

Phyl, oh Maggie, that was such a cat move!   ;D It's like when mine want in from the deck, I open the door and they stand there looking at me... Good 365, I love it when it's raining leaves. There is a street just down the block that is lined on both sides with huge ash trees, the leaves are starting to fall and soon the whole street will be full of yellow leaves. I love that street in every season, it's like a tunnel in the summer! Hope you and Jim are feeling better each day! Love the pics, I see more puzzles!

Lisa, yay, the cams go back on today! Will that be N1, DNN and GSB? How are Bandit and Misty doing?

Puff, yes, memories of the auroras you have seen have to be far better than anything we can see down here!

Lani, Mike is home now, right? Now he can get a good rest...  Beautiful good night picture...

oldguy, that was a great video of the guys walking Siesta Key. So much damage...

baz, sorry to hear that so many of your neighbors are having difficulties, hope you continue to keep yourself safe!

BL, have a wonderful and safe trip! I bet the scenery will be beautiful!

Bounce
I ended up staying home. The group never found much... wrong places, wrong timing. Darn.
Pool, yard werk, supper with Bro.
Forgot to mention... police were called by a neighbor up the street about a guy with a gun. Police couldn't do anything because he came out of the house without the gun. Weird.
Had a talk with the lady next door too. She has been working on the house and yard lately. She said the husband has mental problems and living in a sober house. Hope he stays away.

CLYNN   Very dramatic pics of Tn "House on the Rock"  Just so hard to believe all that water..

TIG  You just never know the stories behind those we meet!

LANI   LOL  Great AM greeting today.  I love to watch dancing  ;D  esp that little one - Must be in the genes  ;) ;)    You are such a good neighbor.  We know how much that takes out of you .

Off to lunch with the girls - Saying Aloha to one of our friends who is meeting a friend in Kauai who has a time share there.  It is a friend she has not seen in years  LOLOL

tsk - Enjoy your girls lunch.

Lani - Aww, that lil cutie patootie dancing.  Safe travels from Mike.  Nice of you to help your neighbor!

Phyl - Pretty morning greetings.  Aww, Maggie was starved.  I was counting down the minutes too!  It was good to see an eagle upstream on cam when they went live. 

tig - Enjoy your day, and supper with bro. 

clynn - Love the Mason jar decoration.  DNN & DE went live, and I believe GSB has been live, except for nest box view? Wow, the creek! Misty and Bandit are doing good.  Hope your kitties are doing good, too!

TGIF!

All good with me - just a bit on the "blue" side feeling, related to all the disaster news.

My neighbor with shingles caught it extra early - infancy stage - and got anti-viral meds, nerve pain meds, lidocaine patches, and steroids... she's responding well, and felt good enough to go to lunch with a friend today! She's hurting as the rash develops, but has to be doing better since she went out for lunch. She also has family and friends nearby.

I haven't heard from the neighbor who was waiting on results from his doc re. covid... figured he hasn't gotten them back - maybe by tomorrow, so I'll checkin on him then. He has attentive family nearby.

My Lil Sis's sore throat is almost gone! She is feeling waaay better - turns out it is a cold, so no strep, flu, or covid for her. She is going to a play with a friend tomorrow! So I'd say she's doing just fine!

My neighbor who is moving definitely knew she could be booted any time - her lease had gone to a month-to-month. Doesn't make her less sad to have to give up a place she likes so much. Have seen her mother dropping off packing supplies, so I guess things are moving along for her. I will ask her over the weekend about any plans she made for wherever, or if, she's found a new apartment.

Zippo is good! I'm hungry! Dinner is almost ready! I'm saying so long for now. That's my story.  ;)

G'night Beakers. Peace. Out.

Lani   The dancing toddler for TGIF, so cute.  I don't think She ever misses a beat.   I bet you're all done in from  helping your neighbor Firewising . That sounds like an extensive project.  And, most kind and helpful of you to lend a hand.  Both you and Mike will soundly tonight.  Maybe a 'Door Dash' sort of take out?

'Tsk how was  lunch  w/ the girls today?

CLynn that TN river house and the rise in water level . :o   Mason jar centerpiece is very creative and Fall-ish. tks for sharing Crater Lake National Park in Oregon--never made it there.

Puff  :)

Lisa how was DNN and DE today ?  I always enjoyed seeing the eagles in the stream kind of  hopping about and pick out some fish for chow.

{{{Bazi}}} glad to hear family and friends are feeling better and recovering from what ails them.  {{{Your neighbor}}} hope she finds
another home before her last day. I know the disaster news is heartbreaking and sad. It gets to me sometimes.  I just keep believing , somehow life heals itself.  You and Zippo 'sleep tight'.

BAZI   So happy to hear your neighbor caught the shingles early.  That has to be to her advantage.  Thanks for the update on everyone mentioned yesterday.  Maybe the neighbor that has to move wont' be too far away. ??? :-\

PHYL  Culvers it was today for a quickie get together - they never make you leave there.  I declined getting an ice cream dessert as yesterday  after my car was serviced, I went across the side street and got Culver's version of a mini blizzard  which I handily ate on the way home and tossed cup in outdoor garbage can.  ;D ;D    It'll be 40 years next Sept that I have been a part of this group.  My SIL and two others started the group when they were all in a "baby and Mom's" group through the park district.  It used to be 8 but one gal
 - the youngest left several yrs ago.

I was finally able to get my flu and covid shots!  Went to Publix and got a prizer and  the old persons flu.  Walgreens has been impossible for 2 weeks!    Too long a story but a nutty pharmacist!

Really some loverly "LIGHTS". Thanks for all the great postings.  Just didn't work for me again this time.  I'll keep trying though.  There have been a lot of local shows/papers/etc displayings so I know they were possible.  One post here was about 4 miles NW of me.  Fresh air at 3 a.m. didn't hurt me - just didn't work.  I even took a pair of glasses hoping; they were no use.  Walked around for different chances - nada, nothing, zilch.   :(  Oh, well.

I liked the display of luggage for cat verandas/beds.  And we know they love crawling into them while we're packing.  I'll have to file that away in the old brain. . .

Again - Love that new camera and views of GSB.  Great work and equipment - oh, and let me thank the nature gods for providing such a show.

Phyl, sweet little Pine Marten in the 365, love the sounds!  Great cat close ups and the 'lesson'! And the lion with the black eye! Wow! How are you feeling today? Hoping both you and Jim are better! 58 here, high 80 today. The high for tomorrow says 63. and at night 38. Looks like Tuesday nights low of 32 will be the end of my beautiful flowers! Impatiens are gone with the first freeze, maybe even before. Sun and Mon nights low is 37.

Puff, I love those luggage cat beds too! My cats love climbing and finding unique places to sleep! I wish I had a huge house so I could do all of the good ideas I have found! Like catios! My deck is now kind of a catio since we had it roofed and screened in, they spend a lot of time out there!

Help after Helene - Hurricane Helene ravaged parts of the southern US and it could take a while before some areas start getting back to normal. But in such a dark time, there are always light-bearers. Dolly Parton, along with her companies Dollywood Parks & Resorts, The Dollywood Foundation, Dolly Parton’s Stampede and Pirates Voyage, will partner with Walmart to provide significant donations to flood relief across the Appalachian region. In North Carolina, a group of private helicopter pilots has run hundreds of rescue missions to save people who were trapped by the storm. A North Carolina man opened his lodge to stranded residents north of Asheville, and when the headquarters of MANNA Food Bank in Asheville was destroyed, its staff rallied to find new ways to help the community.

No one mentioned cat and the suitcase problem?

My namesake Puff the cat would see  the open case on the bed and know what it meant.  At the start he would just sit glaring at me from the dresser while I filled it.  However . . . . . there was the time he had to make sure  I got the message.  He went into the suitcase, fluffed and kneaded, then peed!  Casually walked away.  I got the message.  ( I also had to pack option 2 for the wardrobe.  He even just knew the sound of the wheels and click.  I'd then put the suitcase on the bed and closed the door.  But they know when something is up - Don't they.

I really like the look and concept of the catio.

A roommate of mine in El Paso git a Siamese cat we named William,  I say we, but he was her car! This Tiny kitty  decided to sleep with me and he peed in the bed every night !  His owner stripped and washed the wet bed bedding every day! The   Day came  for me to get transferred to Colorado Springs.   As aforementioned , Iput my suit case on the bed  and  William peed  in it!   I did not know this until I got to my new room!   He is also the cat I have mentioned who went out after dinner and came back at midnight and rang the door bell!   Sweet boy and smart!  Lol

Good night beakers!  Seds

PUFF   Oh my gosh - Your namesake was certainly making a statement in your suitcase :o :o

PHYL  It is certainly chili making time.  I did a sausage and potato soup in the crickpot this past week.  Will be getting all my soup recipes handy  ;) ;)   Glad Jim feels like himself after that stretch of "ickyness".  That Pinterest kitty is really enjoying the "catwalk"  LOL

No one mentioned cat and the suitcase problem?

My namesake Puff the cat would see  the open case on the bed and know what it meant.  At the start he would just sit glaring at me from the dresser while I filled it.  However . . . . . there was the time he had to make sure  I got the message.  He went into the suitcase, fluffed and kneaded, then peed!  Casually walked away.  I got the message.  ( I also had to pack option 2 for the wardrobe.  He even just knew the sound of the wheels and click.  I'd then put the suitcase on the bed and closed the door.  But they know when something is up - Don't they.

I really like the look and concept of the catio.

Puff, oh no! LOL!  ;D

Lani, I would love to do some of the unique things I have seen pictures of, like these:  https://catsky.io/blog/indoor-cat-activity-center-design/   I need a dedicated room, like Walter Santi has! I agree, that is one of the best pictures of Annie

He alerted to the sky and lo and behold a bald eagle was circling in the thermals right over my back yard.

Good toy to occupy the kitties.  Maggie so up in years (23  or  90+  human yrs.) nothing interests her----she's givin' up getting 'high' (catnip) too.

Lisa  Bandit want's to go on a trip w/you and nap on the way.  Gosh! We haven't passed out candy in 20yrs. The HOA frowns on /discourages   it and so do most of the residents.   Like  Tsk , when we had passed out goodies for Halloween treaters--- leftovers I just made a festive  'goodie bag' for our mail lady.

Lani  bulldog this AM reminds me of an old gent who play chess ---those specks  completed the 'look'  ;)

KB  Ollieman is our resident eagle spotter.  Good Ollie!

Tig the bags of gold sounds yummy---which meat do you serve it with? For some reason 'meat loaf' with tomato sauce pour over it and baked comes to mind.

Lulu looks for a leaf of catnip.  I don't do it every time.  Today she got one tho and eats the whole thing  LOL  Lucy never did eat the whole thing.  She also got a tiny yarn ball I made from my leftover beige I was using.  Doesn't take long before it has become unwound and leads from the front door back to the kitchen  LOL  Don't worry Maggie - I won't have much interest at 90 either... :(

We especially watch mindfully these type of tropical systems at this time of year here.

 ~ Everything about Lake Lila was magical ~

The hue of the trees and sky on that Lake never gets old to me when you catch her just right.

All the critters on the wing, hoof and aquatic doing their appropriate Fall things.

Pip and I saw our "Lila Pair" of river otters doing up their best frolicking with their pups.   :)

We smiled so hard.
 
Then the seasons whim came in.

We're mobile. 

We always have 3 plans ahead in the advent of a fluid weather change.

We bailed on the snain, graupel, hail, rain leaving what a good idea.  8)

Re-located to Lake Champlain, a hearth, 4 solid log walls and a roof.

It's still full fall on Adirondack grueling here.   ;D

Comfort and solid communication we might just have to stick it out here for the week.

tsk, I will be taking out my plants after Tuesday night's freeze, then I can put my Fall porch decor out!  When I sprinkle dried catnip on the floor for the cats they usually eat it!  We need some rain here too, looks like one small chance in the next two weeks. I am going to have Ed give all the hostas a good drink this week!

Phyl, what a cute little Pug in the big chair! I remember trick or treating used to be such fun when we were kids, but it's not the same anymore. Too many weirdos out there, not safe like it used to be. Ed and Kelsey used to dress up and he would take her to a few neighbors. She liked it, but she would give the candy back to them. She doesn't eat candy! We won't even be home this year, Kelsey and I will be at Mom's. Wow, Maggie is a true Dame Maggie!

Zinnia Growers · Monte Loomis  · a day ago  · I plant 4 to 6 thousand zinnia seeds every year for my eyes and for Monarch butterflies . *edit… picture is not photoshopped as some suggested. I breed and raise monarch butterflies. New butterflies are placed on the flowers in the evening, when the sun warms them up in the morning they fly and feed on the flowers and leave if they please. picture was taken with my iPad.

Crisp October days see hawks and falcons pass overhead on their long migration journeys, while well-hidden owls peer out from tree cavities. Reward yourself by getting outside and catching these beauties in a moment of serenity.

WATCH: How Screech-Owls Perform Their Magical Disappearing Act
October is a wonderful time to listen for the whinnies and wails of screech-owls, and a great time to catch them roosting during the day at the edges of tree cavities. But you'll need sharp eyes! See how screech-owls pull off their masterful camouflage in this short film.

WATCH: A Breezy Spin Through the Most Common Raptors of North America
From red-tails to broad-wings, kestrels to Cooper’s Hawks, take a lightning-speed tour through the common raptors you might see during autumn raptor migration. Led by our expert teacher Dr. Kevin McGowan, this highlight is a part of our popular webinar “Riveted by Raptors.”

Back home from eye doctors, and still a lil dilated.  Eye doc said, I could go with the same script I am using now for this year, but also gave me a new one, just in case I wanted one to fine tune the close-up part of my progressives.  I am going to try and stick it out with these glasses till next year!

She sold her home yesterday, just before she was putting out the sign! They paid full price and in cash!
She may be moving before Thanksgiving, since she sold her home so quickly.

We've been busy helping her these past few week. We'll miss her... she's excited and we're excited for her!

Well... at least they caught the crack in the heat exchanger before carbon monoxide got us. A new furnace will be installed next week. Our Dyson heaters will have to suffice for the next couple of cooler days.

At least the pool was not cold today. I left our house of 62 degrees and drove thru 37 degree weather... I'm sipping hot tea now. But I haven't put socks on yet! ( Good stubborn German stock. LOL )

(oops I see you didn't have it done very year) How old was it?  Tim has a new Dyson heater for our "peninsula" bedroom .  Even tho a basement underneath it is always about 5 degrees cooler than the main house no matter how the pipes are configured.  Those Dysons really heat well and fast.

Phyl, beautiful 365, love the Griffen vultures soaring in the mountain fog...  Thanks for Amy's Blog, so glad to hear that our North couple art starting on the rebuilt nest. It does look kind of strange on that right side, like it's just hanging there! But I am sure there is sturdy support underneath!  Love the vintage ghoulish packaging on the treats! 40 here now, high 57 today. The first freeze tonight at 32, Thursday back into the 70s for a week or more.

Lani, glad to hear that Shannon has a new opportunity, I'm sorry that she will be moving away... Maybe you and Mike could move between your two girls, somewhere in northern California?!!  Love that good night pumpkin gif! The bears are getting ready to find their dens, their coats are so pretty!

baz, thank you for sharing your pictures of your little Sis at her 70th birthday party! They all look fabulous, I feel like I know all of them! Love the Spooky Squad, with the twin sets and Lil Punkin' and Baby Bro'!

Lisa, have you ever tried the Transitions lenses, the ones that darken when you are out in the sun?

tsk, many times I have heard a bird outside and ran out there with the Merlin on. I never realized that Blue Jays had so many different sounds! They can be very noisy! I found this article on Monarchs, thought you might enjoy it.  https://monarchbutterflylifecycle.com/blogs/raise/safely-release-monarch-butterflies#:~:text=Releasing%20butterflies%20isn%E2%80%99t%20difficult,%20but

I broke down and turned on the heat this morning.  ;D  I never turn it on before November!

Lani - Yep, that is Misty in the window.  :D  She is sitting in one of the three condos we have in the living room up against those windows. 

Phyl - Thanks, and thanks for 365 & blog post.

clynn - I have never tried the transition lens.  This purchase was my first prescription pair of sunglasses.  I may try to transitions next year with new glasses.   Good pic from NEFL.  Love all the colorful cans.

Well... at least they caught the crack in the heat exchanger before carbon monoxide got us. A new furnace will be installed next week. Our Dyson heaters will have to suffice for the next couple of cooler days.

(( Lani/Mike ))

At least the pool was not cold today. I left our house of 62 degrees and drove thru 37 degree weather... I'm sipping hot tea now. But I haven't put socks on yet! ( Good stubborn German stock. LOL )

Tig, glad you're getting a new furnace. Your carbon monoxide alarms didn't go off??  ???

Phyl, cute Halloween pics! Thanks for RRP north nest update. I hope the owls stay away during egg season... pretty nature video with the Griffen vultures soaring the skies... {{{402}}} :-*

Clynn, love the plants in the colorful pots... we'll miss Shannon, but no plans to move, especially California. If anything we would head closer to the midwest but not anytime in the near future. The thought of packing and preparing to sell another home makes my head explode. LOL! not happening.... so happy that Beau returned to Gaby and the nest.

Tsk, Shannon is taking her time. Her goal is to have a new job by the New Year. She has a Az Real Estate license, and will work to get one in Nevada. She also has worked for a CPA in the past and for Mike. And has her casino connections in Vegas too...  She's spent the last 6 months looking and preparing for her move.

Karen, good luck at the dr. "your new social life"  ;D

Lisa, love the coffee mug  8) .... bringing out our small space heaters this morning. Mornings will be heading down to low 40's by Friday, but warms up to 60/70 day temps.

Lani, I had to go back and look at Lisa's picture, and yes, I see Misty! I didn't catch that, you sure have an eagle eye! Sam and Sophie love to sit in the front window and watch the birds that land in the Burning Bush. Love the cute picture of the bats & mouse hanging with the socks on the clothesline! Snow at Brooks Falls! Little Clara looks so sweet!

Phyl, sweet tribute to 402...  I would love to stay in that little cabin in the woods, it looks so cozy!

Lisa, what a unique coffee cup in your morning greeting! I have had Transition lenses for years, I think you will like them!

tsk, Ed got the last of our tomatoes, but not the green ones. He said there weren't very many and they were small. Almost all of our tomatoes were on the small side this year, but better than last year. They are sure tasty though! It is 32 here right now, but my flowers on the porch look fine. Maybe they are frozen and will thaw out later!  :o We haven't had any rain for a few weeks, Ed is going to give everything a good drink this week. Cozy fireplace this morning!

baz, I love October too, the days are cool but not COLD and the trees are beautiful. Will worry about the leaves later!! I bet the mountains are beautiful

That dog with the pumpkin mask, how cute! I would love to swing on that swing and just soak up Autumn!

This is about an old historic building in Albion, it caught fire when I was at Mom's in April, I drove over to see it and report back to Mom. They have almost  finished the renovations and repairs! There is also a little bakery on the property where they bake all their goodies. I remember going to the eye doctor there when I was in High School.

The frost made the grass too wet to mow before we go to get our Covid boosters. Guess I will cut the grape plant back instead after breakfast. Coming from 60 degree home, the pool felt warm to me today... while others thought it cool.

Clynn, that building in Albion is a beauty!  Wonderful workmanship!   Happy to read it is being restored!   How did your imoatients do?  Sometimes, if they are wet enough and the temps are not low for more than an hour, things will survive.
I just planted a few red wave petunias.  They should go thru our winter and be cheery.  Mixed a lemom ball with a few.
Dr. hall came by yesterday on her way to a pupoy training class!

There was a dog tied to a fence , as hurricane Milton. Approached.  Found by police.  He was standing in belly deep water.   This on the news.    Just read it was in Tallahassee, on i 75.  The owner has  been identified and has been charged with criminal animal abuse.  Dog is  now naMed .

CLYNN   Love that acorn wreath.  Blue Ridge Hwy is a beautiful drive.  NR is an amazing knitter. Great progress on the burned Coyler house.  Wonder if there was any attempt to give it "historical home " status.  We have several of those in our town.  That would be a great puzzle.  I can't even look at it!!  LOLOL

PHYL   Love the fall pictures this time of year.  Dog with pumpkin head  ;D ;D ;D  Moon was gorgeous last night in and out of the clouds.  Perfect view from my TV chair  LOL  WOW 

KAREN  Happy to hear about the prosecution of the cruel dog owner.  Happy ending.

Resume my PT for knee tthis afternoon  , from the head/chest cold I've had. Haven't done muc in those exercises at home
since I've been sick with all that junk. Still feeling a bit rotten. But, I've missed 3wks or 6 visits which really throws me behind and
only extends the therapy time.  >:(


CLynn  so sad about the Colyer Coffee House - Albion. What a lovely old brick bldg. in it's day. Hopefully, it can be rebuilt
and folks can enjoy coffee in that quaint shop again.  A very challenging puzzle and would be fun for someone. Attractive acorn wreath, too.

Tig shame about the crack; good luck with the yard work--don't over do

Karen  so very sad about that poor dog being tied up in Tallahassee  when Milton was on approach.  Thank goodness the police intervened
rescued and treated and in shelter.  Sounds like your winter garden will be very pretty. 70F is still a nice temp. Hurrah for Piper and a nice run about the yard. Stretch those legs  ;)

Tsk  so glad you were able to vreiwe the 'Hunter's Moon' last night. I would have loved to have seen it down my way.

Lani   Katmai Naknek pretty  sunrise   and #273's  early morning fishing, hopefully a good catch. Tks for snaps. Glad Sadie gets a pet

Hello Beakers

We got down to 31 this morning - day 4 of running the furnace - got low to mid 70s for the next 5 days, so will probably turn it off again.... ;)

All of the youtube creators that I watch from Florida have reported in that they stayed home and survived with minimal damage other than no power for 1 to 4 days.  The exception is the Clark family - they were on the road during the 2 hurricanes and just returned home to Tampa last night.  Read the description on their videos for the story.

Clynn, sadly, according to reports supplied to The Weather Channel based on recent on-the-ground and aerial geological surveys, very many places along, and around, the Blue Ridge Pkwy had an estimated 80% tree loss. I think a lot of people still haven't taken in the full scope of the widespread disaster in the mtns of NC/TN/GA/SC/VA/WVA. It's so massive it's almost not believable, which is why so many people describe it as looking like a movie set, or CG film work, even after they have seen it in person.  :(😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Phyl, love the 365, the views of the French countryside and mountains, and the sounds of the migrating cranes...  40 here, high 70 today. How are things in Cane Ridge?
Great pic of the Sauces nest, praying for a good year for them, they are a beautiful couple!  Love your good night picture, and I can also drive a stick!

Lani, awww, sweet Sadie, all pooped out after her spa day! Hope you and Mike are doing well! Is all your firewising done? I am going to check out the coffee house when we go to Mom's in a couple weeks. Hope it's open, it's the only place you can get a latte in Albion!  I like a latte now and then!

blschue, love the pic of your new Great Grandson!

baz, the damage in the mountains hit by Helene must be indescribable. I read that they have opened almost 200 of the 469 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway, none in North Carolina or Virginia have opened. This must be a terrible blow to all those who depend on the Autumn visitors for their livelihood. Prayers for all affected by Helene...

oldguy, thanks for all the entertainment! Going through it now!

tsk, never heard of a 'paint night', looking forward to hearing about it!  I am sure it was a good time!

karen, I have been to the River Arts District in Ashville, it's very sad to lose all of that... Here are more pictures:  https://www.citizen-times.com/picture-gallery/news/local/2024/09/29/river-arts-district-asheville-flooding/75442009007/

tig, let's hope all is covered now and you can just relax!

Anytime is good time to visit McGregor, Iowa. Fall colors in McGregor, Iowa taken on Saturday Oct 12,2024.

LISA  About 15 people there.  My first time doing this and so out of the box for me but was fun.  Met some new people which is always good.  Fun part is seeing how others observe and interpret the "painting" presented.  Tim said "Did you paint that?"  LOLOL  think they will do another one in January.  :)

TIG  Lots to catch up on from your vacation and anniversary weekend  LOL  I plan on reading Peggy's new book as well.  On order.  She's hysterical and even more so live. ;D

OLDGUY  Read the Clark FB entry last night - What a time to be "on the road"   :o  Interesting trip Claire had to Indonesia.  AWWW  Sad about Zoom who sure lived longer than expected.  :(

BAZI  Boy that is some tree loss along parts of the BRH  :o   Will take years and years to restore.

BISCHUE   So glad to see you!!  What a cute little Henry!!!  Hope she doesn't live too far away so that you can see this cutie pie more often.. :)

CLYNN   There are places - we have one in town - where groups can go - like a ladies night - sip wine have cheese and sit at a table with a small "canvas"  maybe 8x10 and "copy" or "interpret" a picture on a big screen and smaller version at your table with acrylics that are squeezed onto your palate ( paper plate  LOL), You're given brushes and proceed.  This one was at our mission church but it can be a business for some.   Those pictures are so hard to look at.

Short break in the routine - went to see close friend in AZ for one day.  1965 we graduated CTC at same time.  Me, business ed, she, special ed.  CTC = Chicago Teacher College.  Fed program under Manpower Program, function of Chicago Public Schools.  Teachers teaching new teachers, to teach in public schools.  What a concept!  It was working tooooo well, therefore they ended the program.

Anyway they moved to AZ (Sun City) west in 1980's.  We kept in touch always good friends.  About a month ago I thought this is wrong.  Called Maribeth up to ask if she was free for lunch on the 15th, this month.  What the heck - I had the mileage.   ???  She said what?  Yep, flew out on Monday, had lunch on Tuesday, flew home yesterday.  WHAT A GREAT TIME!   WHAT A GOOD IDEA!  We shouldn't have waited this long.  She said she'd never call me crazy again.

Thanks for the article of the Arts District in Asheville.   I have been reading articles on the flood and have to say this flood is more than the normal out of the banks river flood we often have read about. i do not know how to explain it but the entire region has been affected and those in the mountains as well as those on the river bottom are all dealing with major issues.     The water system for Buncomb County has not operated until now.  It is still however a work of progress getting  it operational.  You all have heard the saying, water ,water everywhere and nit a drop to drink?   That us a out right!   Schools remain closed.  Roads from I 40, I 26 to small mountain paths remain washed out or blocked with debris.  Communications are just now coming back in places, drug stores that are open, including a few Publix are cash only!  The hospital in Asheville has had water trucked in , in water tank trucks as well as water in bottles!   It must be similar to living in a bombed out war zone, but…the bombing has stopped.    I guess that simply stated this is not a localized issue but a total regional  issue!   One has to wonder about the wild life as well.
Enough of my ranting!  I was assigned to work Katrina but this is worse!
Bischue, a darling portrait of your great grandson!  Enjoy him!
NR , would love to see a picture of  the finished project!
Going to vote this afternoon!
Lol Puff.  I used  ff miles to go to LA once to see a Chicago hairdresser who I thought did a fantastic job!  He had relocated there from Chicago.  Took red eye there and back!   Great use
Of miles.

LANI   Now that is a different cute Henry than we saw yesterday in Bischue's post  LOL   I don't believe it!!!  the 4th machine.  You're still using the same brand?  What went wrong this time?       No one can say you don't get your exercises in each day!!  I'm sure I would need help with what you do yourself to fire-wise.  Take care.

tsk Amy Peterson is her name. Our only olympic metal winner until recent times in Minnesota.

Peterson competed in five Olympic Games beginning in 1988 at Calgary when short track speed skating was a demonstration sport. She won a silver medal in the 3000 meter relay at Albertville in 1992 and two bronze medals at Lillehammer in 1994. Amy competed in 1998 at Nagano without earning any medals.

Missed opportunity for  early  voting - now wait for 'Election Day' in November


Lani  Goodness me.  Fire-wise---4, 50-gal bags of leaves, twigs debris  & branches. Lots of work ...  I can just imagine how neat it all looks too. My vertigo would stop me before I started--back yard  is a steep hill right down to the retention pond.

Maytag use to be a standard in automatic washing machines. I do hope this one holds up to it's rep. 
I have a  matching set of "LG" been with me 20 yrs and not a 'prob'.  Got them after my Maytags of 10 yrs  'pooped out". I think "LG" is Korean which I don't have issue with as S. Korea is a  US ally .

tsk - last I heard she settled down, married, family etc. in New York.


Her mother, Joan Sandvig, was a speed skater competing at national level. Her uncle Gene Sandvig competed in speed skating at the 1956 Winter Olympics. The daughter of Gene, Susan Sandvig was also a speed skater who competed at international level.[17]

I remember lots of gatherings with her iconic uncler, Gene my Dad's favorite cousin. My dad also was a great skater.

Phyl, thanks for today's nature video, beautiful France.... Thanks for RRP update, best wishes to Mr/Mrs T.... we did order an LG three weeks ago, but, everytime it was supposed to be delivered they admitted it hadn't left the warehouse yet!!! Well, after the 3rd time, that was it for us!!! I needed a washer, we went to Home Depot on Monday and was able to get a washer delivered today.

Clynn, beautiful fall pics and especially those of McGregor, Iowa

Tsk, everyone should do something so out of the box! Sounds like a fun evening! In this home, we started with a Samsung, Maytag 2016, Whirlpool 2019, GE 2021 and back to Maytag. As it was the only one other than an LG that had the right measurements to fit in our utility room.

Kb, awesome photo of the Steller's Eagle.  ;D. ... interesting about your cousin

Puff, glad you had a fun visit with your friend  ;D

Lani, When Ed and I got married in 1984 my Dad got us a used GE washer and dryer, they were trade-ins from the GE appliance store h worked at. They were even different colors! The washer had been my Grandmother's for I don't know how long! We were still using them when we moved to Iowa in 1996. I think it was around 2005 when the dryer finally wore out and we got A Whirlpool Duet set. That washer died around 2012 and we got an LG set which is still going. Knock on wood! They just don't make them to last like they used to, but you have had some lemons for sure!

tsk, your paint event sounds like fun! When I was working, my manager set up a team building event for all of her managers and analysts. We each made our own calzone, they cooked them and we ate them. Kind of lame, I thought. Painting sounds like much more fun!

tig, how was your donut side dish for dinner? LOLOL!!

That reminded me... Erin stopped by yesterday with two Nothing Bundt Cakes and a card for our anniversary! They have an out-of-town wedding this weekend, Sydney's sister Samantha. Skylar got married last year, so there is only one left. Sayde is a sophomore in college. Anyway, carrot cake and white chocolate raspberry mini bundt cakes! Yum! Next Friday they will come over and have pizza with Kelsey while Ed and I go out for dinner at Outback for our 40th Anniversary!

KB    Interesting speed skating history in your family..

LANI   Amazing that all those different brands were lemons.  5th washer has to be a charm!!!   My SIL Barb needed a new frig years ago but in order to do that, cabinets above had to be made smaller so new fridge would fit height-wise.  Older homes had smaller frigs back then.

CLYNN   Great treat from Erin for your anniversary.  ;D  Never have seen those.  All the sisters in Sidney's family have "S" names  ;) ;)    That's a beauty of a hike.  Winter weather - pretty much what our meteorologist described yesterday  Nov,Dec - more rainy but Jan Feb should bring snow.  In the past 6 years we have only been above average snowfall 1 time.  I remember only the one January storm last year.  Grass stayed visible most of the winter.

Clynn, I want the chocolate raspberry cake!  Love chocolate with that or Cherry!    Might have to make a Black Forest cake!   Very nice surprise for you and Ed, Clynn., college roommate if mine named

judy, married Jim and their 3 children had J names and his brother was a j!  Interesting Family traditions,  Chilly here in the mornings at 46 degrees.   Think I read that La Nina brings us a warm winter.   Would like to see the Gulf have a chance to cool down!
Happy tgif!    Pretty walking path this am.  The entrance to the tunnels!

I felt a bit better, so the side was my cheater deviled eggs... slice, then mush eggs with a fork in a bowl, add mayo and your favorite mustard. Yum. Donut for dessert.

Tig glad to hear you're doing better.

CLynn La Nina means for Tennessee---'wetter' just more cold rain.  However, that's better than snow.

Puff  I've not been able to catch  SWFL chat myself.  Your observations are likely correct . Because you're very observant-I'd trust
you. I'll try to be more attentive. Jim and I have been fighting B. pneumonia and still suffering despite a round of antibiotics and being mindful
w/masks and sleeping at 30% w/pillows and all. If I'm not better by Moday I'll call my PCP and go from there. Jim too.

Lani, thanks for the videos of SWFL, all looks well and good! They will be working on the nest with full force now! Oh yes, those little Bundtlette cakes are too yummy for words! I have managed not to touch it yet, and it will be me savoring one bite here and there...I will try to make it last all weekend!  Love the dog with the shades!  Cool! And the spooky good night pic!

Phyl, I wish that you and Jim would get over this lousy spell!  It has to be wearing both of you down. I say a little prayer for the two of you every night...

Lisa, it is the dangerous Christmas goodies time coming soon... I think we are supposed to be getting a lot of snow this winter. Hope that is wrong...

Puff, I couldn't find any mention of F23's eye. It looked weird in one picture on their FB page, but looked normal in many others. I think it was just a lighting or temporary issue.

tsk, my Mom started out trying to give us names with the same initials, CLL. I am Connie Lynn, then Cathy Lee. But she gave up and we have Becky Jo! Her best friend was tryint to do DLT, She had Dixie Lynn, Douglas Lee, David Loren, but she gave up after that and had Brian James. I am glad we were all girls, Mom had some really dorky boy names picked out. Becky was going to be Dirk.  :o  Sometimes we call her that...  ;D

tsk, thank you for the Anniversary card!

Oh. Do I  love 'Deviled Eggs'.    I use the 'classic'  deviled egg recipe.
They remind me of the  Saturday BBQs we had as a family and that cedar picnic table in the backyard just off the patio. Dad bought that on one of our supply  visits to Indio.  It came in a large box  hauled in the trunk of the 1960 Oldsmobile. He bolted it together ... lots of  culinary memories.

Lani - Loved your pup from yesterday.  Thanks for the SWFL videos.  Your deviled eggs you make sound yummy.  I love them with chopped green olives mixed in. 

Puff - I have a photographer friend that visits SWFL everyday to take pics.  I will ask her if she has noticed anything about F23's eye. 

Phyl - I had thought you and Jim were getting better.  Sorry to hear you are both still not feeling good.  Hope you both start to feel better soon!

karen - I forgot to post your snowfall pic of North Carolina here!

It's me again - Getting back into things. . .

I didn't mean to cause angst in comment of F23.  Went through a lot of postings for Oct 14-16 just to get caught back up.  I stayed on SWFL cam for a while when finished, drinking my tea.  Who ever was manning cam on Thursday must have been noticing things - no one ever commented but cam person would stop and focus in on that left side - held the shot for a while.  That's why I asked the question no one was saying anything.  Wasn't both eyes, so it wasn't a matter of taking a nap.  When opened it looked/looks OK to me too.  Unusual too was operator would zoom in and would stay.  No one was chatting either.  After 12 years (?) my interest was just piqued. 

Loved the simple but beautiful of Nature 365 leaf. . . . A leaf is a leaf is a leaf - UNTIL IT'S AUTUMN.

About 2 years ago we got a "Nothing Bundt Cake".  Very creative, tasty moist too.  $$$$$, too.  I like to give as thank you to people.  Serves about two people, very rich cakes.

Back outside for feeding of the birds, clean out plugged fountain, check plants for frost damage Tuesday, fill other water features.  Going into 70's for few days? 

Ohhhh - and that reminds me.  While I was in Phoenix earlier this week they broke a forever (1895) heat record, just in case Lani didn't mention it.  Ready?  For 21 straight days, 21 straight days, did I mention a record 21 straight days. . .21 straight days of over 120 degrees.  Wednesday only 101.  But it's a dry heat. :P

Lani, thanks for the Anniversary card! We are going for a drive in a bit,  to look at some fall leaves and grab some lunch somewhere! That will be our Anniversary Lunch!

Phyl, I totally understand those cat things! It wasn't rice, but years ago my cat thought puzzle pieces in the box was a new kind of litter...  Beautiful 365!  Thank you for the anniversary card! I feel bad for you and Jim, you couldn't have that RSV that is going around, could you?  https://www.rsvandme.com/?cc=ps_DHYUSHUVRB1479332&mcm=330002&gclid=9336e44a556f15b414eb8359998b20f3&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=9336e44a556f15b414eb8359998b20f3  I hope not!

tig, thanks for the anniversary wishes!

Puff, I can't imagine all those days of temps in Phoenix over 120 degrees! I can't remember what the temps were like when we lived there in the 60s, I just know that as kids we were fine with it, and we lived outside all summer long. Must be the dry heat, which is nothing a kid knows or cares about! There were 3 pools on the base and we frequented them all (all were free)!

Lisa, thanks for the Anniversary card! Fruitcake cookies, love them as long as the candied fruit is only cherries and pineapple - no citrus peels!  Love your cite black cat! Would Bandit let you dress hum up?  LOLOL!

For more than two years, a wild elk had a car tire stuck around his neck. This weekend Colorado wildlife officers finally shot it with a tranquilizer gun, sawed off its antlers and removed the tire, which held 10 lbs of forest debris, that had been around its neck for roughly half its life 🥺😟

CLYNN   So funny - Becky was going to be Dirk  LOLOL   Ahhh.  I did that PCH from the inside lane - thank you very much!
Love that 1970 Cost of living.  My first job with the VA,  I made 6,900 and after 6 months 7,200.  I was rich!!  I remember gasoline being closer to 0.25?  and stamps -.03 cents?   Cool bike. ;D   Elk story kind of sad.  I would have found a way to power through the tire rather than cute the antlers off. :'(

PHYL   Loved the cat pics  :)   Good 365 - reds  :o

LISA   Cute little black kitty  ;D   You have a friend who lives near SWFL nest - How cool is that!

PUFF  That is some record for Phoenix  Yikes. Hope the electric grid held for that long of a period

LANI   We had the 45rpm of Catch a Falling Star that played on our phonograph. ;) ;) ;)   Now there is a cat named Bandit!! or Zorro or Ranger  LOL

tig, tsk, I thought the same thing, why didn't they just cut the tire off. I guess it's a man thing...?

tsk, when I was going to college (1970/73, gas was 23.9 AND you got a free item with a fill-up (usually $3 worth)! I had a set of B.C. glasses/pitcher from Marathon, silverware from Shell and china from Standard. Mom & Dad bought their house for $16,500 with an 8% loan. I made 70 cents an hour at the Dairy Del, then I went to work at the bank. $118.56 deposited in my account on the 1st and the 15th each month, for working 5 and a half days a week. Then I went to work at the factory for way more than the bank! That is when I thought I was rich!

Cat loves to get it's head wet before drinking!

Well, halleljuah...my roof over my front steps is done!.....it's gorgeous, a true craftsman imho. Thicker lumber better color of roofing tin, brown to melt snow, and gutter being placed now as I speak.
Which will hopefully keep from puddling straight off the roof, including snow melt.
Couldn't have asked for a better person to do it. My son's best friend recommended him.

Andrew, my go to guy for landscaping and all other things said last year he thought he could do it. But Andrew is not a carpenter. After watching this 2 plus day process I'm glad I went with a genuine...May have cost me more but will out live me me thinks!

KB  Sorry to be presumptuous in thinking it was a male.  Amy did very well by herself.  As all of them do - dedicated a big chunk of her life to the sport - What does she do now?

KAREN   After I had typed that about early voting, I heard other states had earlier voting. 

Karen, I voted early here yesterday. Early in-person voting started in NC this past Thursday.

TSK, in-person early voting rules and dates are different in every state. Well, I guess you already figured that out. LOL.  ;)

Phyl, if you want to, you can still do in-person early voting in your state, which says, "Early voting for the November 5 election is from Wednesday, October 16, through Thursday, October 31." It also says those dates and times may vary by location. Here's the official link for your state, for dates/times/at various location:

I think the Feds should set the voting  rules and times  for all Federal positions.  Ie, pres.  vp. Senate, house.  States can decide what to do with local stuff including tacking it on to the federal elections or not.   Hmho and not worth discussing.   I agree about the tire being  cut off!  Not sure what the effect of cutting antlers off would be.   He must have some strong neck muscles  and a much lighter load!  Good luck.

My first thought about the elk with the tire was... Hmmm, I thought elk shed their antlers... So why didn't the tire fall off when he put his head down on the first day after he shed his antlers? I guess the distance, and angle, from the back of its neck, over the top of the head and antler nubs, was just too great for it to slip off.

Anyway, I'm glad it's off now - poor guy - and now free of that. Here's a good explanation of why they had to cut off the antlers, instead of cutting through the tire... (you have to scroll past embedded ads to read the whole, good, explanatory article, from 2021)

Pretty anniversary cards for Clynn and Ed!

Clynn, love your morning Caturday pics ... "Dirk" LOL! ... Love the Vacation Bike! ... geez, $.59 for dz eggs, bread $.25 in 1970! I wish I could remember that!  :P ... what a sad story about the bull elk. Looks like the antlers was getting ready to shed... Poor guy, so glad the rangers removed the tire.  :-* ... people would be happier listening to 50's music too.

Phyl, OMG! "Don't leave your rice uncovered." LOL!!! ... I love deviled eggs too, so does the girls. It's always on the summer menu.... stunning fall colors of the Superior National Forest. .. what does HP Butter Beer taste like? I had to look up the recipe. LOL!  Who knew there was a real butter beer recipe!  ;D  https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/butterbeer/
Lisa, Fruitcake cookies, YUM!

Tig, love the names of the grandchildren.

Puff, nope I didn't mention the AZ temps! It's been terrible temps for the valley... dry heat! UGH! Heat is heat!  :-\ We went to the valley this morning. Did the Costco and Trader Joe run.... It was much cooler and we had a bit of rain going through Fountain Hills. YAY! ... I thought Lady Hawk's SWFL videos would give you a good idea of what's going on.... they both look well. I'm so glad Milton didn't destroy the nest and that area.

Tsk, Love "Catch a Falling Star" song. I've been humming it all day... I remember babysitting for .50 per hour.

Oldguy Yummy anniversary treat for Clynn and Ed.

Kb, glad you're pleased with the outcome.  ;D

BL, glad you've found a little bit of heaven.  :)

Lori, love your anniversary pics for Clynn and Ed.  ;D

Baz, we voted this week... I saw you posted the elk story too.  ;D

Hi Karen  ;D

I found an article about the Bull Elk.
After several attempts, wildlife officers remove tire that was around an elk’s neck for over two years
“It was not easy for sure. We had to move it just right to get it off because we weren’t able to cut the steel in the bead of the tire,” Murdoch said in the news release. “We would have preferred to cut the tire and leave the antlers for his rutting activity, but the situation was dynamic and we had to just get the tire off in any way possible.”

Lani, did you know that there is a secret recipe list that Starbucks has? I was behind someone in line last year and they ordered a butter beer latte. The gal pulled her phone out and looked it up, then she made it. I asked and she said oh yes, they can make many drinks that aren't on their menu!  https://www.glamour.com/story/best-drinks-from-the-starbucks-secret-menu   I remember babysitting for .25 an hour and was worried when Cathy and I decided we needed to raise our price to .50!! We were living in AZ at Luke Air Force base housing and babysitters were in great demand! And that was when I was 10/11 years old! Great good night pic!

Lori, thanks for the Anniversary wishes and the fun hippie cake!  Love it! You are so creative, love the way you personalize for all of us! Hope you and your family are all okay, and especially Destini!

baz, thank you for the anniversary card! We went for a drive to look at the scenery, and stopped at a roadside BBQ stand to have a sandwich.  Most of the trees haven't changed yet, still a lot of green so we will probably go again later!

BL, voting done!

tsk, I remember when a billboard went up near Albion in the mid 60s, the first Ford Mustang. Less than $2400!

tsk - Chris is still asleep in the living room recliner so I'll have to post "after" pics of my front porch roof later on.

I perused hundreds of "before" pics and could only find a few.

The basic differences: Instead of 1 by lumber...he used 2 by...Also braced supports and added a gutter with nice cladding on the sides which I'll paint today.

The tin is now dark brown, the idea being it will melt snow faster than the former beige one and the added gutter is for melt and rain so as not to form an ice patch off the lowest step.

KB  Those are great pics of the before - Much larger than I imagined.  WOW  You can tell how much sturdier the new porch cover is.  Love the handrails as well.  Nice upgrade.  :)  In the last pic what is that small rectangular board in front of the handrail?

LISA  Cozy setting in your AM pic  :)

OH LANI   Don't do this to me ROTFL   ;D ;D ;D

My neighbor's trees I see looking out the kitchen window  ;D

Took 1 hour 15 min to take down the tomatoes.  75 large unripened ones in brown bags on the porch  and 3# of unripened cherry tomatoes.

tsk - it's hiding the retractable leash holder/handle thingy. We hook/clip the line to the house (a metal thingy) and then I don't need to step out much to hook him up. And then I can hook him up while still almost in the house for his safety. The retractable leash line only allows him to go out midway in the driveway and midway down the grass in front...

I don't use a retractable leash to walk him or any other purpose. It works great for this situation however.
I'm highly opposed to retractables in any other situation.

K
B, I  hope you are the out with Ollie while  he is tied out in the front.  Seems dangerous to me  if other animals try to attack him or if someone would  try to steal him!  Jmho.
Very depressing to me, not to be able to learn any thing about my friend in Asheville. So many phones remain out of service.  Have a source to try Monday!   Also would like to be able to help,  have to accept that those days are long gone!
Enjoy a Sunday

Of course!..and, what a sick country we live in to make that correct statement about our current state of affairs.

Never had to worry about that even 10 years ago in this neighborhood. Now I do.

After dark, I go out with him front or back. During the day if not out with him I have my surveillance camera on visible to me at all times and am feet from the front door. Of course he would bark if anyone came near our property let alone him.

Thanks for your concern

Karen I was so hoping you'd hear from your friend in  Ashville, NC by now.   My prayer candle burns constantly for you, your friend and all on my List of Concerns.

KB new porch looks nice.  Nice cover for the leash holder.  ;)   Glad you have a cam to view Ollieman when he's out of doors.

Tsk  the tomatoes in the steel mixing bowl will  look nice fanned out on plate after  covering in corn meal and pan fried to a crispiness. I love
'em garnished with ketchup and  that classic Spicy Remoulade dipping sauce .



 Good Night Everyone... SEDs

Piper had another small seizure this evening!  I sure hate that!
Phones are not  all working in the mountains  so it is hard to get info! remember the picture if the guy on the pole, way up in the sky!   Not an easy job but  a beautiful sight if you do not see the damage!

shep, WOW! that is something to see! So glad to hear that the eagles are okay. I hope they can find a new tree to rebuild their nest! Nothing said about the hawk, he was really close to the strike...

Lani, love your Sisters of the Canine Order!

karen, prayers for Piper... at least she recovers quickly and goes on with her doggy life. It has seemed to me that doctors aren't as concerned as we are about seizures. Kelsey had a seizure that lasted less than a minute when she was a baby, scared me to death. I called 911. When we went home they said if she has one that lasts more than five minutes to call 911. I couldn't imagine waiting that long...

Phyl, more cool puzzle pics in your good morning post! Beautiful 365, the first snow is always beautiful... High 82 today, then 79, 64, 76, 63 and so on for several days...

tsk, your neighbor's trees are beautiful! The neighbors across the street used to have a beautiful ash tree, they had it cut down because if had compromised their water line to the house. I miss it!

Good afternoon!  As a friend of mine( long deceased) used to say, God is Good!  I just got off the phone with my friend in Asheville!    She is fine. Was without power for 10 days  and without waTer as well!   She lives in an Apartment complex  with a swimming pool  so residents dipped water  out to flush toilets.   Someone brought her a meal every day from someone who was grilling or churches or others in the area.   Her power is now on and so is the water.  They are under a boil order. However and she said she has to remember not   To put her toothbrush under the tap!   She went ti church yesterday and they told her I was looking for her and gave her my number!   She has not been too many places  in town but did say Biltmore is a  real mess.  I am so relieved!

Tim had his gall bladder surgery at noon today.  Is stayingovernight tho I can easily see it becoming 2.  Gall bladder out laproscopically.  Amen to that   However it stuck to the liver with all the inflammation going on so has a temporary drain to clear any leaking bile from the liver.  He's in as much pain as he was for the first drain of the infected gall bladder.  It is very hard to watch.  Had to come home - Tomorrow is another day.

Good afternoon!  As a friend of mine( long deceased) used to say, God is Good!  I just got off the phone with my friend in Asheville!    She is fine. Was without power for 10 days  and without waTer as well!   She lives in an Apartment complex  with a swimming pool  so residents dipped water  out to flush toilets.   Someone brought her a meal every day from someone who was grilling or churches or others in the area.   Her power is now on and so is the water.  They are under a boil order. However and she said she has to remember not   To put her toothbrush under the tap!   She went ti church yesterday and they told her I was looking for her and gave her my number!   She has not been too many places  in town but did say Biltmore is a  real mess.  I am so relieved!

Karen, OMG! Thank goodness! That is great news, and I bet you are so relieved!! I have been thinking about your friend every day. I’m so glad she is okay, all things considered, and that you were finally able to catch up with her. I bet she was very happy to connect with you, too! I’m sorry Piper had another seizure, but glad she is doing well. I remember from her being assessed before for that that she didn’t need any special treatment or meds. Glad it was brief and that she’s back to her usual fun ways. Hugs to you and Piper.  :-*

TSK, mmm, will you make fried green tomatoes? I love them. My mom used to pickle thin slices of green tomatoes, and candied some, too. I wasn’t a fan of either of those, but always ate them when she put them out, LOL. They were made with great effort and love, so how could I pass on them? Reminds me always of the Andy Griffith episode about Aunt Bea’s pickles, and Andy pretending to like them. That episode cracks me up, no matter how many times I see it.  :D

Clynn, I love all the pics of Sydney and Erin and The Munchkins! The kids look so happy, and are having so much fun. Pretty wedding reception venue! I love the theme, the dresses, the decorations, and those pretty flowers! I guess Sydney was her Maid of Honor. Fun sightseeing locales and pics, too!

Lani, what a trial with the washer and dryer problems! Fingers crossed the new ones last forever! I had been following the record breaking run of triple digit temps there, and was hoping your elevation was protecting you from that. And I also was hoping you were getting some of the rain at your house that I had recently seen talked about for that area!

KB, good pics. I know you’re going to enjoy your new front porch cover, and not having that icy step this year, too! It looks nice.

Lisa, good news that you don’t need to shell out for new glasses right now! Yay!

Phyl, I hope you and Jim are better and better, and soon will be well. And can get your shots before too long, too. I know you need to wait till you’re well, but hopefully that won’t be long. And doctors say it’s never too late to get the ones you mentioned.

BL, sounds divine!

Tig, I have just started coming out from a spell of not feeling well, and I missed my boyfriend playing. I need to follow up on that. I already miss him.


I’m glad that the Colorado eagle pair survived the lightning strike to their nest tree.  :-* They were lucky! Birds usually are electrocuted if they are on a tree branch of a tree when it’s struck by lightning, so I’ve read. Sadly, it sounds like the Red-tailed Hawk did not survive. I have read a number of articles about lightning strikes to trees killing birds. It isn’t a rare thing. I’m not positive right at the moment, but I think one of those articles was even posted a long time ago by RRP after a storm in Decorah. But I wouldn’t swear to that memory. LOL.


Waving to all the Beakers! Sleep well. SED.

LANI  Love the pooch posing with the pumpkins  LOL

KAREN   hooray!  Your friend is safe and folks were watching out for her.  Love the quip about the tooth brush and tap water That would be me.!

Tim had his gall bladder surgery at noon today.  Is stayingovernight tho I can easily see it becoming 2.  Gall bladder out laproscopically.  Amen to that   However it stuck to the liver with all the inflammation going on so has a temporary drain to clear any leaking bile from the liver.  He's in as much pain as he was for the first drain of the infected gall bladder.  It is very hard to watch.  Had to come home - Tomorrow is another day.

TSK, oh gosh, I just now saw this. I’m glad Tim’s gallbladder is out finally, but I hate he’s dealing with the complication and the pain. Prayers for speedy healing and recovery, and comfort for you both. Hugs.  :-*

Phyl, love your little stick kids! And the pumpkin buggy with the bug pulling it! So cute! Hope you and Jim are feeling better! Purrs to Ms Maggie...

Lani, cute pumpkin decor! Some people go all out at Halloween! My old boss at WF always had a Halloween party and every inch of his house was decorated! He must have had a room that was just for storing his decorations!

BL, wow, clear across the US! You have MANY miles on you!

baz, sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling so hot! Today will be good I hope!  Yes, Sydney was Samantha's Maid of Honor, they are very close!

tsk, poor Tim, he just can't get a break! Hope in a few days he will be glad it's done. I think you asked about Talon's curls, I think he maybe got over that phase! The wedding was at  the Valley View Event Center in Moulton, IA. Down in southeastern Iowa near Lake Rathbun. Looks like a nice place to have a wedding. Do you, by chance, watch Restoring Galveston? It's on Magnolia, a young couple who rescues old houses. Well, they took an old Millwork warehouse and turned it into a beautiful wedding venue on their show last evening. When they got it done they were remarried there! Love that show! Here is a pic of Valley View in Iowa:

TIG    Camper always camera ready for those gorgeous shots  :)

KB  Stunning shot of your autumn leaves.    Like LANI would say " It would make a good puzzle"  LOL

BL  So California is the next destination?  I see reading on - Mt Shasta area.  Is this the guys or does Pip go on this one?

BAZI   I have tried fried green tomatoes several times but Tim does not care for them and I won't bother for myself.  To miss your boyfriend playing tennis - you really must have been ailing.   :(   Good to hear you are on the mend.

PHYL   Another cool series this AM  :)

CLYNN  Liked the saying " autumn embraces change even as she is falling to pieces"  Interesting image. :)  For some, Halloween is bigger decorating than Xmas.   I"m not sure I get Magnolia channel - Is that a streaming one?  We have places like that here as well and have been to a reception in a "converted barn" .  People can get very creative.

tsk, Magnolia is on cable and satellite and probably streaming as well. It used to be the DIY network, then Chip and Joanna bought it and changed it to Magnolia. We have Dish and we have it, but Mom has Direct TV and it's not on there!

Look what went on in Southern Illinois, south of Carbondale this past weekend:

kb - Pretty pic of the Fall leaves.  Glad to hear you got your porch all painted.

BrokenLug - Thanks for the tunes.

baz - Yes, I am happy about that too.  Is your family doing ok that was affected by the storm?

Lani - How is your new washing machine making out?  I thought of you the other day.  I got a email from Lowe's asking if I wanted to extend the warranty protection on mine.  I did it for another three years.

Phyl - Love the lil Halloween figurines.  Thanks for the 365.

clynn - Love all those houses with the Halloween decorations. Can you imagine putting all that up?!?!  Beautiful pic from Valley View. Oh my, a Vulture Festival!

Clynn, beautiful autumn and fun Halloween pics! You can see the sisterly closeness between Sydney and sisters. Lovely and special family pic.... I like Restoring Galveston too... beautiful view of Iowa... Willi would love the Vulture Festival  ;D

Phyl, it's raining leaves in today's nature video.... I've done that too with my nightly posts. I'm so tired at the end of the day, by time time I take care of the dinner dishes and turn off the lights in the kitchen, Mike's settled in bed, cats and Sadie are quiet, and I'm almost asleep. But this is my quiet time. I want to sit, enjoy a nice cup of tea and catching up with emails, reading what's on the internet, watching my fun shows, etc... then I lay my head down for a few moments and bam I'm out. LOL! I wake up an hour later and there's my beak post...   :-[  ... darling Halloween decor.... great RRP article! Thanks  ;D

Phyl, you're allowed to jut fall asleep now and then! Especially when you aren't 100% feeling good!  Thanks for Amy's Blog. Wonder if this is the first year for interns, I don't remember if I have heard them mention them before!

Lisa, love your morning latte, wonder if it's pumpkin spice! I am amazed at how many pumpkin spice things appear at the grocery store this time of year. Pumpkin spice everything!

tsk, Tim must still be in the hospital, he probably didn't feel very good today...tomorrow should be better.

This is a Facebook reel, it is fascinating...what a smart dog!
https://www.facebook.com/reel/1223489495511832

Dogs Life 
A fishing trip took a dramatic turn when two fishermen, Bob Gist, and Brad Carlisle, stumbled upon 38 hunting dogs struggling in Grenada Lake, Mississippi. Gist, 61, from Arkansas, and Carlisle, from Tennessee, were out on the water with local fishing guide Jordan Chrestman for what they thought would be a relaxing day.
The dogs, part of a hunting group, had jumped into the lake chasing a critter but got disoriented and couldn't make it back to shore. As soon as the fishermen saw what was happening, they sprang into action, making several trips to and from the shore. After about an hour, they managed to rescue all 38 dogs.

Pruned some of my perennials today....finish painting tomorrow when it gets above 50...going forward there will be other days above 50 if it doesn't.

Missed the early bird surgeons this AM so don't know what the game plan is.  Wasn't til late AM that they finally found a drug combination - Valium and a powerful muscle relaxant- that eased his pain.  He even ate some of his liquid lunch.  However he did sleep most of the day.   PT came and got him out of bed in a chair and walked him 40 ' with a walker. Then he sat for 30 min. before nurse and I got him back to bed.  That did him in!  Imagine just after 24 hours.   He could very well be there tomorrow night as well if things don't pick up a bit.  Sigh.

Lani, so did you get caught u on your laundry?  Our washer/dryer is in the basement, and one has to pass through the 'Mole Hole' to get to it, so Ed does the laundry. He doesn't want to hear me yakking about how he needs to clean the place up!  ::) ::) Kelsey helps him, she likes having chores to do! I usually clean (and toss) when he goes to Springfield in the summer, but he hasn't gone for the last two years so it's a REAL mess!  :o :o

tsk, oh my, Tim is having a hard time ... prayers for a much better day today.

Living off the Land - October 20 at 6:21 PM  · Gleaning in Idaho is a beloved fall activity. Here's how it works: After a potato field has been harvested, there are often plenty of potatoes left behind. These could be reds, russets, or other varieties that were initially dug up but deemed surplus by the processors. Instead of letting them go to waste, farmers often return these excess potatoes to the field.
Don't hesitate to fill your boxes and buckets with these! Farmers typically don’t mind if people collect these leftovers; it’s better than having them rot in the field. This practice not only helps reduce waste but also provides an opportunity for locals to gather fresh potatoes for free.

Well, let me explain . . . Been kinda quiet on my end.  Most know about my great Monday "trip for lunch" in AZ on last Tuesday.  We had such a great 1 1/2 days.  Should have done  this a lot earlier.  Anyway flew back in Wednesday night.  Recommend we all not wait so long to have the fun.

After getting things together back at the homestead - I started not feeling so good.  No long story, let's just say not so much fun.  Made that dreaded 911 for a ride to Good Sam.  Final diagnosis pneumonia.  Indescribable head ache, dizzy, nauseous, freezy chills.  Almost got discharged Monday day until I got this horrid bloody nose.  Got home Monday night about 11.  Now trying to get things straightened out and cleaned up here.  Yesterday watered outside and fed my feathered friends.  Lots of mail.

I'd like to say I'm not going to do that again - HOWEVER  I did have something similar in 2003.  Actually that was more serious - then I had pneumonia along with a viral flu (in 2019 given the diagnostic name Co-vid).  Result of that month + ordeal resulted in Anosmia.  Have had to settle for virtually no taste/no smell since then.

Now doing well enough to be doing something - anything.  Just this daxx headache.  I think it was  in the news about all the cases a month ago.  At least I'm home.   I'll be fine with a few more days.

Puff - Oh my, I hope you are the mend now.  You take care, and I hope you have someone checking on you. 

Phyl - Thanks for the 365, and can't wait to see your Halloween project.

clynn - How cool that the farmers let you pick the potatoes instead of letting them rot.  Yes, it was Pumpkin Spice, at least that is what Pinterest said.  ;D  We love the Little Debbie's Pumpkin Delight snack cakes.  They are just enough, and hit the spot.

tig - Glad to hear you got your furnace installed.

karen - Morning  :D

Lani - Thanks for the Royal pics yesterday.  It looked like they were all happy to see each other.

Hmm, I'm taking a minute or two break from painting the lumber on the underside of my new roof.

I can hit the link and open. I always check before I post. It must be because I belong?, I don't know if that's the right word? to that group. It's the "That's so Minnesota" fb page...Maybe it can only be shared between followers

It's so neat and the first thing I thought of was our DNR eagles...being St. Paul and Mississippi.

Anyway, now I know why my contractor/builder of my roof said to paint the lumber supports to match the tin color on the underside. It's so if I "miss" and hit the roof you can't see it!....duh.
I painted the views from the outside dark brown to match the top of the roof color and my house.

Poor Scotty, he built a similar roof over our deck to enclose the screened porch and all the lumber is dark brown. Must have had a rag with him the whole time!..cause there is no dark brown on the underside of that roof.

Still hard and my brush is getting quite tacky so off to finish now.

sorry for the link problem.

Tsk, 😱

Karen, thanks. I'm feeling way better, and have walked the last 2 days and today. I didn't "catch" anything, but have been dealing with a spate of severe headaches/migraines, in combo with a bit of the blues. The headaches have been keeping me from walking, and a lot of other stuff - walking jiggles the hurting head too much, and the nausea with the headache pain has been the pits.  Sometimes it was just "sit and stare" time. I have a history of severe headaches and migraines, but they have really reared their head of late. But I'm doing lots better! Yay!  :)  Is the other friend you talked to someone who also lives in the area of the mtns that got hit so hard by the storms?

((TSK and Tim)), I'm still catching up on posts, so I may not be up to date, but saw your post that they finally found a med combo that eased Tim's pain some. Thankfully!  Hope that helps move the recovery and healing along, too. Hugs to you both! So what will you do with all those green tomatoes and the cherry tomatoes, too?

Lani, Love the Albie pics! Gotta love that sky calling!! I hope they have a good season again!  :-* :-*  I saw most of that Chiefs game - including the last half of the last quarter. Yay!  ;D  Oh, for sure, Willi would need to go to the Vulture Festival!! And take pictures to post for all of us to see!!  ;D ;D  I miss Willi.  :-*

Clynn, it's easy to see why that venue is named that. Is that the building they were in? Gotta love the Vulture Festival! There's gotta be a story there.  ;D

Tig, glad your new furnace install is all done!

((Phyl and Jim)), Feel better and better.

KB, Osprey aircraft regularly fly by where I live - usually in pairs, sometimes in groups of 3... usually up the river near me, at fairly low altitudes, so I lose them in the treetops when I go out to watch them, until they come back into view when they get to the next clearing in the trees.. They are loud. Wham-wham-wham-wham!  Once they flew slam-bam-directly over my rooftop and were way lower than they should have been - my house shook like mad, not to mention the noise assault on my ears! Nothing broke, but it pissed me off. LOL. I called a Control Tower liaison to complain. They weren't supposed to do that. The person I spoke with took my info, and confirmed their flight path and altitude - yep, a no-no. He called me back later to say they were doing "training," and would make a point for the "newbies" to get word.  ??? ::) Well, anyway, it must've made a point, because that hasn't happened again. Though they still fly their usual nearby patterns, which are loud enough as it is. I'm not a fan of those Osprey aircraft - they have a bad and fatal history.

Lisa, have you and Jeff been hanging out at the grill in your yard? The weather has been so great! What's cooking on the grill these days?

((Puff)), oh my! You've been through the wringer!! Glad you're home, and hope you're feeling better and better!

baz - Sorry you have been getting headache/migraines again, they stink for sure.  Do you take any meds for them?  I take something for my migraines called Maxalt.  If I catch it at the start before it gets too bad, the Maxalt works quickly to get rid of it. Jeff has been grilling, just about every day. He likes to does just about any meat.....steaks, chicken, lamb and pork chops.  He also grills the brussel sprouts, green beans, asparagus and sweet potato that he cuts in chunks.  I tell him he is a grillin' fool  ;D

This is the Astoria-Megler Bridge, an impressive structure that connects the state of Oregon with Washington, crossing the majestic Columbia River. With a length of 6,545 meters (4 miles) it is the longest continuous bridge in North America, allowing vehicles to pass over the wide and deep riverbed. Its main elevated span offers spectacular views of the water and surrounding areas, while its robust features enable it to withstand strong winds and the region's variable weather. It's a true marvel of engineering that has facilitated transit between the two states since 1966.Credits: Flash Curiosidades                                                New York City

CLYNN  WOW  Free potatoes. Good idea   I'll have to ask my Washington friend if she's ever been on that bridge.  :o

PHYL  A Halloween project - Can't wait to see  ;D   Loved those Halloween jokes  LOL  Will read those to Tim tomorrow.

PUFF  Oh no  What a rough time you have had.  But so happy to hear you are home and on the mend.  Interesting symptoms for pneumonia!

KB  Wasn't able to access page tonight.  :(

BAZI  Interesting story about the Osprey choppers.  I would never have thought to complain about them. Didn't know you could. Great that you did.   LOL  Light bulb change - into what?  good one.

LANI   LOL  I don't think Tim even knows how to turn on the washer!!   Quite a bit of difference between 3 and 2 fingered sloths when you see them together.  I'll finish that vid at the hospital tomorrow  LOL

KAREN   Beautiful surviving Whitewater Falls

We are over the hump after a dicey AM with another episode of atrial fib and shortness of breath.  CT scan ordered and all seems OK - no embolis to lungs.  As the day progresses and no longer Valium making him looney and sleeping all day he was doing better.

Phyl - no kidding on the painting over head...I took it real slow as I tend to get vertigo doing so. It took me about an hour and a half whereas a pro might have whipped it out in a half hour me thinks. But looks good and I ended up taking a long nap.

Baz - yes, I thought they grounded the Ospreys?...because of their history. Made me wonder why they were flying so low if they are that prone to mishaps and which branch was flying it.
Furthermore, according to flight tracker it was headed to St. Paul from WI but I'm west of St. Paul and neighbors heard it all the way over in a West Bloomington Park I walk in...
St. Paul has an airport separate from MSP. so they had to turn around and fly back east. Hmm.

tsk - boy you remind me what a b-tch being in a hospital in bad shape is like...sounds good however that Tim is doing better today. Take care.

Pip is not riding the saddle for this Cali trip unfortunately.

Her hip is still not quite right for the downhill angles of the proposed Shasta hiking tracks.   

I'm going to go see some family long overdo on the flanks of MT Shasta just outside of Redding, CA.

My Uncle George, my Grandmothers Brother who walked with me 30+ years ago on these trails will hold my hand.

Staying at this slice of still heavenly active ranch back in time.

I actually own 1 acre of lava hereabouts.

Never been to it but I have the CA official deed.

When I stand in the cab of Uncle George's fire tower that he climbed up to for decades for the USFS .

I always happy cry knowing why. 

~ I read back through the posts. ~

My Fathers Mother and Father had 5 kids. 2 boys and 3 girls. All had the initials J.L.S.
Jack, James, Judy, Jean and Janice.
Why.

Back in the hey day of the NJ boardwalks Grandpa had a thing for raffle tickets and always signed them J.L.S.

All 5 wildly roaming children where dutifully instructed to claim anything called out J.L.S. by the barkers.

Hence the very 1st Television in Ho-Ho-Kus NJ.

6" diagonal flickering Black and White screen in a hefty beautifully hand crafted sturdy wood cabinet full of RCA tubes hard hand procured by my Brother Beak.

It still works.

It’s a short article, but it looks long because of the numerous embedded ads and blank space. Just keep scrolling… Reading past the embedded ads for the whole article will give some updated info related to the staggering amount of damage in western NC from Hurricane Helene, and its incredible costs. The numbers are mind-boggling:

https://www.npr.org/2024/10/24/g-s1-29660/north-carolina-hurricane-helene-damage

A brief excerpt from that article says:
“The storm and its aftermath caused 1,400 landslides and damaged over 160 water and sewer systems, at least 6,000 miles (9,650 kilometers) of roads, more than 1,000 bridges and culverts and an estimated 126,000 homes, the budget office said. Some 220,000 households are expected to apply for federal assistance.”

TIG    Hallucinations can be kind of funny esp when you know they will go away once tons of meds clear the brain and surroundings are familiar.  When Tim had his double knee replacements back in 2008 he was so angry because of the barking dogs in the hallway keeping him awake  LOL    Knowing the size of pine needles, I can't imagine piling them.  That's a lot of needles.

BL   So great you can see bro and family and do some familiar hiking.  Uncle George holding your hand - nice memory.  Pip smart to sit this one out.  Loved the TV story and the fire hose...

Phyl, another gorgeous 365 with a beautiful little bird!  And beautiful Fall pictures! It's hard to choose, right?

baz, those embedded ads are getting worse!  You are right, the damage in western NC is staggering and so much more complicated than Katrina. 6000 miles of roads, that is twice the distance from coast to coast in the US!! And then the number of homes destroyed. And that is just NC! I just cannot imagine what all those people are going through...

Lani, I had those bad headaches in the 70 also, that is strange...something in the air? :o  Does Mike do the grill at your house?  I purposely do not know how to turn the grill on.  ;D  And Mike doesn't know how to turn the washer on! But it all works out!

BL, have a great time! Sorry Pip's hip is bothering her, hope it gets better!

tig, we have two pines in the side yard, one year we raked 23 bags of pine needles and pine cones. Some of that was surely from the previous years! Love the smell of the pines, and it's so shady.

tsk, so glad to hear that Tim is on the mend! Now when do you think he will be able to come home? I bet LuLu misses him!  I was kind of worried when I didn't see a morning post from you yesterday... but all is well.  And there you are this morning!

Clynn... We took over my family home in 2007. The first time I raked under the 3 grouped trees was in 2021. I was afraid it would pose a threat of fire ( it was a time of high anxiety due to the lawlessness ). It probably had not been cleaned up in decades, if ever. It was several feet deep and took dozens of bags.

Old Guy, I have seen a lot of sand clean up and redistribution while living in Alabama.  Some was to rebuild the west end of Dauphin Island which washes away each time a storm comes in from that direction.     Geologists  usually  believe the barrier islands should not be built on  as their natural purpose is ti protect the land they front from destruction.   I had friends in Al. Who bought a condo  on the Beach .  After a hurricane.David drove down to check it out!  S president of the condo board he thought he would begin the restoration of the pool area!   After a few hours of shoveling sand back on the beach he realized he could not shovel out the pool and decking, etc and professionals were called in! So much for beach front living! 
Not to pick on our southern beaches, I had an apartment in El Paso,Tx  where sand would blow through two walls into the kitchen!  No windows in the area.

Pretty Fall pictures ladies.

Needles from the loblollys equal mulch.  Usually decompose in a year.

PHYL  Loved the AM pumpkin scenes.

CLYNN   LOVED the "hardest word"  LOLOLOL  What a great street - Can't beat the midwest!   I'd eat at Canyonlands in a nanno second.

OLDGUY   I never knew anything like sand processing existed.  Amazing.   Bet you are busy getting Xmas up??  Lots of good links I can check out on hospital duty tomorrow LOL

KAREN   Couldn't agree with you more about not living on barrier islands.  Sister Kittens - At least all were saved.

LANI   My local group starts our monthly meetings as Zooms in Nov/Dec when half the group leaves the area for warmer climes  LOL
I laughed so hard at that last dog costume.  What a riot!  All were good but like you say - last one the winner. ;D ;D

Doing better - Walked 3 times in the hallways pretty good distances.  Sat up all AM in chair.  Lots of other details but hopefully home on Sat.  It is likely to be with a cardiac monitor and the drain.  His brother Tom came and was so relieved to see him better that he did not cancel his trip to Florida for tomorrow.  That is a good thing

CLynn easy to agree on those embedded ads; enjoyed the Marietta Bereithere Shop; nice ash lined street in your neighborhood; Carlbad
Caverns, NM has similar in theirs. Carlsbad Lunch Room https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipPj9QQFlx1BB-xIh9UeIrDRA_kUIEMbXHZh0qq5=s680-w680-h510 (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipPj9QQFlx1BB-xIh9UeIrDRA_kUIEMbXHZh0qq5=s680-w680-h510) Nice end to a day below ground and finish around dusk for the bats  in mass departure or the cavern.

Tig  how nice you're able to keep your family's home. IMHO

{{{Tsk/ Tim}}} so glad to hear Tim's recovering well...looking forward to your report later...just read it. Sounds good & so glad to read
he's taking longer walks in the halls and sitting up for longer periods of time; Tom confident in his recovery to return to FLA.

OG busy time for y'all at the Depot; disheartening about the beaches will take some time to recover, as with all else.  :'(   Thanks for Links and always good performances by  QKids; some good tunes from B. Boys and The Surfaris

Lisa/Karen many thanks for update on SisterKitten.org. I'm glad the 15 survived and  are gonna be TNR. Look for that notched ear folks. Either single or double. No interaction needed as kitties are part of a monitored/cared for  feral colony.

Lani all the best with you 'zoom" meetings today...hope they turned out well for you.  Dog costumes, ROTFL

KB nice snap of Magpie in East Bethel, MN.  thanks





 Good Night
 Everyone... SEDs 
Especially . praying for Sauces nest.   And, those  victims of natural and man-made disasters

Lani, oh those cute and clever dog costumes! Love the X video of the spider dog, so funny! I watched it 3 times!  Meetings! Ed has a zoom meeting every week with the whole group. He always comes upstairs, I don't think he wants anyone to see the Mole Hole!! Most of the time his calls are conference calls, so he can be on the computer doing other things if it's too boring...

Phyl, I can barely remember seeing Carlsbad Caverns, I think it was about a hundred years ago. Of course, that cool restaurant wasn't there. I remember stopping at Four Corners. The metal piece on the ground was there, but the only other thing was a trailer where a Native family lived and sold souvenirs. Now look at it!

oldguy, fascinating video on the sand operation in Florida. WOW, seems like a never-ending process! Thanks for all the videos, still going through them! I went to Menards yesterday, lots of Christmas on the floor, the Halloween section is shrinking fast!

tsk, glad to hear Tim is on the mend! Does he get to come home Saturday still, or maybe today?

karen, thanks for the news on Sister Kitten, a good outcome. I can't think of how many weren't so lucky...

Sydney Sea Eagles - SE33 fledged yesterday!

KB  Cool catch on that magpie  :)

TIG   I had missed your comment earlier on the 2021 cleanup of the pine needles. So foreign to me .  I forget, are these white pines with the long needles?

LANI  I had not seen those oldies before .  Great way to start the morning.  Spider in the elevator set up  LOLOL  Boy, I had to laugh at your " Ya-da, Ya-da"    When this group has a Zoom, my friend who runs the Social Concerns ministry with me - we text each other with eye rolls often  LOL

KAREN   Woke last night around midnight to a wonderful thunderstorm.  More needed rain.

CLYNN   I'm pretty sure it won't be today that Tim comes home.  Too much left to do.   Four corners - cool

some bounce

TSK... they are about an inch and a quarter? One white pine. The other 2 may be spruce??

I was reaching into a doubled bag of groceries yesterday and scratched my arm on the point of the inward-facing folded edge on one side. Old skin is a hazard. Sigh. As soon as I stopped the bleeding I quickly got the stuff into the fridge/freezer and then sat with an ice pack for a half hour before I returned to put the rest away in the cupboards. Luckily, it was quick, because I always set the "cold items" on the counter next to the fridge... so I only open the door once.

Read this:
https://www.nature365.tv/contributors/jim-brandenburg

Phyl 

I was being facetious = should have done  :P

I knew about the man/the artist (Brandenburg) back in the 1970's.
South Shore High School, Chicago Public Schools, Instructor of Photo class, Mr. Mancini, was a great hire for a new idea school program.  Students and school won many showings and awards.  Only high school in Chicago, only in the state, one of few in the USA.  Easy to come out on top.  He also taught me, gave me pointers, suggestions, critique.

Brand new construction, some advanced programming and teaching techniques.  When I started there (late 1970's) we first had Royal manuals only.  Ended of we were the first in Chgo to have IBM Selectrics.  (I laugh/smile when I think about them now.)

Mancini also contributed to the only TV studio in the CPS system.  Students filmed, ran equipment and broadcasts daily to the new building when it opened.  TV studios became very popular in several US school systems, even elementary.

Another aside - When I first started at SSHS we were in a 1940 built building.  Across the street was where the new construction was done.  Opened, I'd say, 1978.  i found out recently that part of the school was torn down and rebuilt, THE NEW BUILDING?  Typical Chgo handling of most things.  Their biggest mistake was to let the purposed principal play architect and construction god.  School blueprint, design, and programs were way above the guy put in charge.   

P

I always check out the Brandenburg posting.  Lucky and talented to have such a fine portfolio.  Even lucky to end up with two rare/beautiful birds at the same time.

Karen, I guess it would be a while before that house could be put on the market. So sad, but at least they still have a house, though who knows what the inside condition is, and if it's so unstable that it's been condemned. I just feel so sad for so many.  The time changes back to Standard Time a week from this coming Sunday!! Actually, it changes overnight a week from this coming Saturday night, donchaknow.  ;) :D  It will be time to "Fall Back," so I will set my time back an hour before I go to bed a week from this Saturday night. Then when you and Piper get up in the mornings, it will be light! And the sun will set an hour earlier, of course.  Let the time change haters begin their griping. LOL.  ;D ;D ;)

Clynn, yay for the Sydney Sea Eaglet fledge! It seems too soon! It always does.  :)  I hope it goes well, because there's been some dicey fledge history there for sure. Talons crossed for success, and all stay healthy and safe!  :-*

KB, nice catch of the Black-Billed Magpie where many might not expect to see one!

((TSK)), so glad to hear Tim is making great progress! And Tom felt relieved and heading to FL as planned, too. Hope to hear that Tim keeps making good progress with healing and recovery, and wishing for comfort, too. Will a home health nurse visit at the house to take care of the pump, dressings, and other needs? Or will it be you hanging up your "The Nurse is IN" sign?

TIG   Freaky cuts like that. :o  Tim is on a lot of blood thinners so we have blood all over the place with his thin, old skin.  I can feel for you.

PHYL  Loved those black and green woodpeckers. :) Lots of cool haunting places on that list.  Didn't know that about the Queen Mary tho.   WOW a newspaper forecast of a pocket flip phone  1963.  WOW

PUFF  Interesting about your experience at SS high school.  Revolutionary to say the least.

Today's highlights of hospital living!!!    The drain came out this afternoon - YAY  Tim was euphoric.   He ( we) will be staying til Monday as they will do another cardioversion as meds are not bringing HR down.  Down the road will be an ablation and got the scoop on that today from the electrophysiologist.

We're a long way away from the Great Lakes of Gordon Lightfoot and very human remote around here _ 

Doesn't mean we can't here some great music up here.

Spin up that vinyl our dear USFS Ranger host and let the critters for miles groove on it as our and your dear Uncle George did. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqYwoRXFnKM

Beak and I got the Mule Deer hunting great vibes and chills from the music wafting from above.   

Beak steady handed bow took an 8 point mule deer thunk clean dead dropped.  :o

I know of all my hunting skills from Beak and all his from our Uncle George.

Steaks already on the tower base BBQ.

Apparently holding the onions.   ::) 

Venison steaks from the outdoor grocery store.

Now I here tell some Phil Grateful Dead is in order. RIP.

One of the G.D. vinyl was in the Cab.

Lani, I don't fondly remember the endless hours of conference calls at work! Ah the thin skin...I remember when 'thin-skinned' meant that a person was too sensitive for any criticism! I guess our skin gets too sensitive for minor bumps!   Love the Nightmare skeleton!

BL, sounds like you are having a good time! Thanks for the tunes!

baz, I remember when Jerry Garcia died in 1996, now Phil Lesh.  https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/news/garcia-family-pays-tribute-to-phil-lesh-say-hi-to-jerry/ar-AA1sWXV1?ocid=BingNewsSerp

tsk, that is good news, that Tim is better! Not so great that he has to have another procedure, but hopefully it will be an easy one and he will feel even better!

Phyl, love those doggie shames, and what a unique woodpecker in the 365! Beautiful! I love haunted and abandoned housed!  The show 'The Ugliest House in the USA' had a contest for the' Scariest House', it was amazing how many people live Halloween year-round!

Lisa, any Pepe sightings lately? Somehow I didn't think Jeff was an apron wearing kind of guy!

This is so funny, bad little babies!

Clynn, sweet Caturday pics.... I had to find bandaids for Mike that doesn't pull the skin when taken off, or else it's another area that starts bleeding... oh dear God, I'm so thankful our adventurous Aly didn't do half of what those bad little babies did. I can understand the toddler in the high chair, but the rest... geez!  :o ... beautiful Iowa pic... sometime we would drive through Utah again... I think I've seen half of the cat horror movies.

Phyl, what a peaceful and serene sunset at the Flyway...  Love the New Yorker cover, I think those are the kids in the FB video I posted! Scary bad! And there is sweet Bob. MC pot pies are wonderful, Ed really likes them! I do to but the calories and fat grams make it a very special treat!

tsk, I don't usually watch that type of show, The Ugliest Houses, but Retta is so funny! I watch it just to watch her and see some very ugly houses.  ::)  There are many people in this country that live in ways we could not even imagine. Like Hoarders...  I haven't seen that view of the Upper Iowa River, it would be worth the drive to see it with the trees in color, I think I will put that on our list for next Fall! Tim gets to come home today? That overnight stay ended up being a week! Constant prayers for all good outcomes!

Lisa, that looks like Bandit in your morning picture!

Sydney Sea Eagles - News from the nest: Se34 Fledge October 27: 34 slept on front rail of nest overnight – were the parents nearby? Early morning swoopers were about and swooping 34 as it moved a little about the nest branches. 34 moved up higher, then back to the nest again. A currawong came close and clipped 34. The eaglet flew off then strongly -  flying out and up. So SE34 fledged today around 10am at 81 days from hatching. Then out of sight. Ground crew reported adults down on the river and SE33 possibly out of sight in the mangroves.

{{{Baz}}} sorry  :-*

Clynn, another beautiful area to visit in Utah... that is a stunning tower. I would love to see that in person. The currawongs are such a bother to the Sea Eagle and their eaglets. I pray both eaglets are safe and parents able to feed them. I know the rangers will keep an eye on them.

Puff, I agree about the architect. Just an amazing mind, talent, and the building contractor too.

Lisa, Aly is busy and fine. She just started out on her own two weeks ago. She has 17 clients. She would like to find a small office space, but apartment rent just went up. So, she'll have zoom meetings with her clients or meet them at the parks or trail walks areas... she's very excited about this new adventure. Seems like both girls decided to make big changes in their lives.  :)

Tsk, Shannon just completed and passed the home inspection. She just has a couple of things she will need to do. Moving out date is November 12th. We have no idea where she plans to move on that day.

Karen, beautiful pic of SWFL  :-*

TIG   Hope the Dodges lives up to expectations.  Sure looks like a beauty in the ads.  Stairs??

LANI   Spooky good night post  :)

So just got into bed last night  - had the window cracked open and thought I heard an owl.  Should I go and get my phone off the charger - turn it on and try to record it?  As you know the minute I do that, it stops.  Well last night I got lucky and the owl I was hearing was a great horned owl!  Who knew.  We seldom hear owls around here tho they are around.  Playback was not good however.  It's a pretty indistinct vocalization so did not record well.

Tomorrow we may break a record high for Oct 29!

tsk, did the owl register on the Merlin? I tried using it while I was watching one of the eagle nests and it didn't register that it was an eagle calling. I wondered if it didn't register raptors! I turned it on the Dunrovin osprey nest and it identified several of the birds nesting below the big nest but havent tried it on an osprey on the cam. Hope Tim gets to come home today!  We are supposed to hit 77 today and 80 tomorrow! Then down to 51 on Wednesday...

Lani, love the good night pic and the cute Pontiff doggie yesterday! Is Mike home for the week? Glad to hear Aly is doing well!  The younger generations seem perfectly fine with Zoom meetings, she will do well with that!

tig, did you make it to Duluth in time to see the big ship pull in?  Those cabins look wonderful, right on the water! Any snow on the ground yet?

Phyl, lovely fall pictures last morning! I would love to walk that path... Are you and Jim back on the normal yet?

Lisa, you always find the best pics of cups of coffee!

You had me checking the month of October, 1963,  tsk.

That was a memorable HOT month.  I remember it as the year my brother Rodney and SIL Judie were married.  October 26, 1963 - Old St. Michaels Church in Old Town Chicago.  Their record temp that year on the 26th was 84.  Actually the record highest for October was 94 on the 6th.  Was that a record maybe outside Chicago.  When did record quotes switch to O'Hare instead of Midway/Loop?

But there were a few dates set for October that year.  Wasn't suppose to be.  Our dresses were long sleeved green satin and we carried white fuzzy muffs (to keep our hands warm, LOL).

But it did cool down fast and cold for their honeymoon - they went on a camping trip with the native Canadian Indians north of the border.  Remote and cold.  Judie never forgot to throw that fact in yearly.   :-[  She was not a happy bride/camper/newly wed.  (My brother was a fishing fool until the end of his years.  Had a two flat in old town - his boat had the only spot his garage.  Would go out many mornings about 3 to get some catch before going to work.  It was tight quarters being in Old Town alleyways.  But the fishing had top spot.  On North Avenue and Wells, about 1/2 mile from lake/QuestionMark Pier.)

Memory break. . .

CLYNN   The recording was not very good at all of the owl.  I checked it out on line and it was nothing like that on Merlin app.  Hey, thanks for the tip on the Hallmark Movie.  I'll be on the watch.  Lately I have them all recorded and not time to watch them .

PUFF   What an interesting honeymoon your brother had.  A true fisherman!  Don't know when O'Hare took over the record keeping.

LISA  Hard to believe that is Thursday!  I do have a Costco bag handy.  ;) ;)   How did the big squeeze go today?  LOL

TIG  Glad you like the place being it was a shot in the dark.

LANI   I hope there are places out there where they have costume contests for pets.  I'd love to go to one.  Love those beautiful dogs.

KAREN  M15  what a guy!!

BAZI   LOLOL  So enjoyed " leg shaving season over"  LOL

Cardioversion went well.  Home at 4:45 exhausted and I can hardly think straight but we had to get his pill box set up for the rest of the week,  He still has hospital brain so I need to help him with this.  Made him do his insulin and even tho he said he wasn't hungry , ate 2 rotisserie chicken legs, some small potatoes, beets, cottage cheese and garden cherry tomatoes and watermelon for dessert. Now the hard part starts - rebuilding energy levels each day.
Thank you all so much for your usual outpouring of good wishes and prayers. I so appreciate them.  HUGS

baz - Leg shaving season over...  ;D ;D

Pip and I LOL

Beak and I had an absolute Fall blast riot here in N California and S Oregon.

Prior homestead obligations call 2 us both.

Sometimes on ones travels the Aspen Trees put on their finery with their finest weather blowing through them too.

We took a mammal from the land to enhance the host ranch reefer.

Traversing of the land gave back to us so much more, I'm talking seriously sweet.

The forest critters, raptors on the wing and ranch animals blessed us with their smile of the season to come.

I don't want to go my Brother Beak said, me neither my Brother.

Flying back NYC way.

oldguy, going to watch the bridge videos and others after my post! I peeked at the first one, looks very interesting!

Lani, glad to hear that Mike is home all week!  Love the Professor dogs from yesterday! Wonderful that Aly can have her sessions in the park, I think it would be relaxing for her and her patient... Spooky good night pic!

BL, listening to the tune right now! Sounds like you had the best time! Safe trip home, Pip and Kopje will be glad to see you! How long until your next adventure?

tsk, sounds like you have a good plan for getting Tim back to normal. You will be busy! Praying all goes well and he is his old self before you know it...

Phyl, I think you are a Harry Potter groupie! Love the Halloween rendition of the old woman who lived in a shoe! And the spooky cars in your morning post! You have been finding a lot of great Halloween pictures!

baz, leg shaving season...Kelsey loves it! I just change to once a week. I can't stand the 'stickers'! When Erin was very young he asked me one time why I had stickers on my legs!  Love the dog with the oak leaf on his nose!

Lisa, I do not understand, with all the technology we have today, why can't they come up with a better way to detect breast cancer other than the big squeeze.  ::) ::)

The official White House Christmas Tree was selected this morning from Newland, NC.  The Cartner Christmas Tree Farm has been growing Fraser fir Christmas trees since 1959. The tree will be displayed in the Blue Room of the White House.

Phyl - Ooo, the potpie top is my favorite part.  I smash in down, and mix it in with everything below.  Cute Halloween boot!

tsk - So glad to hear that Tim is home.  I bet Ms. Lulu was happy to see him.  His meal sounded wonderful last night, and I am sure much better than hospital food.  Big squeeze went good.   :D

BrokenLug - Sounds like you enjoyed your trip....Safe travels  :)

Lani - Oh, a park setting is nice for a meeting.

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)



I walked 31 minutes this morning. I've been getting back into the walking routine over the last couple of weeks, a little at a time, after being away from the routine for a bit. My knee has a lot to say about it.  ::)

Clynn, LOL for Kelsey, and on your once a week after the season is over - b'cause of stickers!!   I say just wait it out, till you get to the "blowing in the wind" stage!  ;D ;D ;D 8)

BL, you and Beak had a great time! Safe travels home for you both, till you meet again - hopefully in the near future. Pip and Kopje will be running to the door to greet you!

Lani, sounds good for Mike, Aly, and Shannon!  :) Can't imagine Shannon not knowing where she will be living in less than 2 weeks from now!!  ??? Well, at least it's good camping season!  ;) ;D

Phyl, I dunno how you managed to be done with leg shaving season decades ago. Must be a secret there.  ;)  Took the top crust off!?!?!?!  What's wrong with you?!?!?!?  ;D ;D ;) ;D ;D

Lisa, glad all went well with "the big squeeze."  8) There IS something better than "the flattening" ... it's all about Big Insurance!  :P :P :P They could just go with CT scans or 3D imaging. It's an option. BOO!

Tig, smooth travels home.

TSK, glad the CV went well, and you're BOTH home! Nice meal for someone who wasn't hungry!  ;) Good food, at home, with Lulu, too, is the trick.  :-* :-* :-*  I hope you both can catch up on your sleep, relax and let a little stress go, and start back on the road to recovery and getting back in the groove again. Just in time for Thanksgiving. ((TSK and Tim))


Later, Gators!  :D

Getting ready to leave for Mom's this morning! We will be back home Tuesday evening. We are supposed to get rain starting this afternoon and into the night. Much needed! The city has changed Beggar's Night to tomorrow night instead of tonight because of the rain.

Lani, your good night pic! Love it!

Phyl, the black pumpkin is spectacular! Did I miss Jim's birthday?  If so, I hope it was a great one!

tsk, ah, a good night's sleep can do wonders! Glad Tim is feeling better!

baz, glad you were able to start walking again! I do my legs once a week in the winter, cannot stand those stickers!  My Mom has never had to shave her legs! I must get the  hair from my Dad. He had dark brown hair, and so did I (before the gray) and both sisters and Mom had light colored hair.

Lani - The Munsters was one of my favorite after school shows.  Thank you  :-*

baz - Thanks for that info on the something better than flattening.  I would guess they need to find something on the regular mammogram in order for them to do a 3D or CT scan?

tsk - Glad to hear that Tim is feeling like a new man.  :)

Phyl - Love the pumpkin last night. 

karen - You're welcome, and I think I missed a call from you yesterday.  At least that is what my phone says.  :D

clynn - Have a safe trip to your Mom's!

After a great morning yesterday Tim slept the entire afternoon and didn't eat dinner.  Then he took a big fall trying to pick up Lulu's treat mouse from the floor.  His tender abdomen hit the glass coffee table on the way down.  Luckily, I think he's OK today.

Clynn, smooth travels, and enjoy birthday doings with your Mom and Family!

TSK, ugh, I hate ((Tim)) had that fall. Hope he's doing better today!

Tig, glad you had a good trip.

Phyl, spooky birds!

Lisa, oops, I'm pretty sure mammography is 3D these days... But CT scans or MRIs can be done, too, but usually aren't covered by most insurance unless, as you mentioned, something is found on the mammogram. But, also, these days, breast densitiy is now required to be stated on mammogram results, and if the grade, or level, of density is at or above a certain point, most insurance will cover a follow-up CT scan. Your doctor can refer you for that in that case. I know I can get a CT scan even if my mammogram is normal because of the breast density level.


Waving to Karen, Lani, OG, BL, Puff, KB, Lori, and All the Beakers!  :D

Our forecast high temp for here in northern NJ for 10/31/24 Halloween is 80° F  .. normal/average high is 60° F.

Has snowed on us ghosts, ghouls and goblins here on occasion more than once.  :)

In 2011 was a notable snow event for around here.

https://x.com/NWSNewYorkNY/status/1851268640387236229

Last picture. An average year around here taken on 10/31/2006 at our old place.
Bob the Cat with his notched ear was not wanting to have anything to do with indoor living.
Trust me Pip and I tried many times. We took him inside ONCE one wicked winter eve and he went absolutely nuclear on our 2 indoor cats and the house.

A well insulated outdoor Igloo was provided and we would often see Bob copacetic exit the winter abode early in the AM with his buddy Mr opossum.

We can only assume a symbiotic warmth.

The IHOP down the busy road down by the highway was his bacon, pancake and butter go to.

This little guy neighborhood roamer of 9 lives lived to be 21 years of age with more scars than I have.

Only old age took him.

He's buried with honor right next to all of all the other cats that have owned us.  :)

But I digress ..

10/29 to 10/31 2011 - Heavy wet snow on still leafed trees causes uprooting problems especially after 3 of he wettest months on record.   ::)

Good Evening/Morning Beakers

We have had rain most of the day - the morning was intermittent - the afternoon had some longer periods of rain, but not much heavy rain and this evening was mostly lighter rain with periods of bursts - An area 30 miles to the west got 4 inches - most of Iowa City metro got 1 to 2 inches.  Much needed and not a lot of run off - some of the small creeks rose less than a foot.

I see that LA won it in the 8th to win the series...

TIG   Congrats to soon to be great grandpa Camper  ;D ;D ;D   Never ending projects with a home.  We signed a contract to have our cracked front step replaced as well as concrete pads for garbage cans - some patio repair etc.  This was Aug 7th..I called on Friday - Did you forget us?  Got back to me later - It passed his desk that our job had been finished and would get to the bottom of why that happened.   Couldn't apologize enough.  Think it will be done later next week.  He has a very good reputation in our town .

BL  That rain fizzled out over my backyard but did we get the wind all night!!   Love the colorful fall leaves in the snow.  Sweet Bob  Thanks for caring for him in his outdoor lifestyle.  Lived long for an outdoor cat.  :o

LORI   Great post this AM  :D

TSK, LOL! Great pic! But oh no about your front porch decoration!! I guess he says the "trick" is on you!  ;) :D :-*  Do I see what looks like him using it to stash his acorns now?!? Little Stinker!  8)

Lisa, when I got my last mammogram this past summer, the tech told me all mammograms now are 3D, and have been for a while. That's all I know about that. Glad you're back to a regular screening now.  :)

Tig, congrats to Camper for getting ready to become a Great Grandfather!!  That will make you a Great Grandmother, too!

Lani, I didn't get to watch the Chiefs' game last weekend because my local CBS affiliate showed the Carolina Panthers game instead. I don't follow the Panthers anymore - they lost me years ago. Though I did get to take advantage of a Tuesday deli sub and beverage for $2 special at my Harris Teeter thanks to a Panthers special they run for when they make 2 or more sacks in a game.  ;) ;D But I saw the Chiefs won their game, and are now the only undefeated NFL team so far this season. Looking forward to their Monday Night game, which I will be able to watch! Go Chiefs!  :D

BL, love your pictures - those flaming red trees and shrubs are gorgeous in the last pic with Bob the Outdoor (No Joke!) Cat!  :-* :-*  Good story about Bob.  :-* Earlier than average snows like that are so memorable!

OG, glad you got the much-needed rain! Glad no severe weather damage for you. I saw the winds were really whipping around in lots of places, and there was tornado damage - I can't remember now - not in Iowa, that I know of though.

Clynn, I hope you and Kelsey avoided the gusty high winds and the stormy weather and arrived at your Mom's A-OK.

KB, send a snow report. I saw that a lot of the snow in your general area was turning to rain before hitting the ground earlier, though accumulation was still expected in many places, especially on the north side of Minneapolis. Your new porch design came just in time!

Karen, your World Series wish came true! I was kinda sorta hoping to see the Yankees win last night, mostly because no team had ever forced a Game 6 after losing the 1st 3 games of the World Series. And only a handful had forced a Game 5. I fell asleep after the Yankees took back the lead in the 6th, and woke to see the remainder of the game during the bottom of the 7th. What a game!  ;) :D Freddie Freeman had an incredible Series, and definitely deserved to be named the World Series MVP! Congrats to the LA Dodgers, your erstwhile Brooklyn Dodgers!  ;) :D  A good game summary:

A whole lot of wet snow here. Much melted on contact but my glider in back looks to have accumulated at least 3 inches...it's that kinds of snow that's like heavy frosting on a cake to shovel/broom off the decks.

Yes, just north of me was colder and had 3-5 inches...

Worse, there were 169 vehicle crashes before 2pm with 159 involving injuries. Many in the ditch.
Every year I try to stay off the roads during the first or second snow of the year as for some gosh reason people forget how to drive in it...every gosh dang year.

I've been involved with a health emergency for Chris for 2 weeks. 2 emergency room visits just this week.
Don't want to share his private medical info but it's been very stressful.  I haven't slept much in fact was woken at 1:30am today and took him to the hospital at 4:30 am.....he's not dying but the CT exam today revealed what's happening...Cross your fingers all.....thanks.

Heading for a much needed nap. House is black for very few trick or treaters on my block. I was the last one to continue for years....I give up now.

KB... back to rain on this side of town. We lucked out, this time. I was concerned about your household. My intuition was correct. So sorry to hear about Chris. Hugs and prayers.

I really don't consider myself a mom, grandma, etc. since I don't have children, nor any maternal instincts. But, I " fake it till I make it", as it were.

Conclave was very good!

LANI   Love the pet Halloween costumes  ;D

KB   Certainly prayers for Chris.  What a stressful situation for you both.

LORI   Love your Halloween posts ;D  You find many cute ones.

((KB and Chris))

Tig, looks like a nice relaxing spot at the cabin, with a great view!  Good pics!

((TSK and Tim)). You got'r'done! I'm surprised you didn't use a drive-up/curb voting option. Glad Tim could sit inside at least.

Clynn, glad you got to talk to Jerry. I'm sure he was glad to hear from you. Love the pics of The Munchkins with their Jack-O-Lanterns, and in their cute Halloween outfits!!  :) :-* :-*

Lori, love your remembrance post for Willi/Annie. I remember when she first posted that pic of Oreo, the calf! Cute Halloween pics, treats, and gifs!

OG, I can't look... I have so many memories of many visits to Chimney Rock, so it's really hard to see the devastation. But I'm glad so many people are helping with the recovery work - bit by bit. Yum on the chocolate ice cream birthday dessert for Clynn's Mom! I better help with some of that before it melts!  ;) ;D

Lani, I knew about Mahomes and the WNBA team bid, and about Deandre, but I didn't know about the other new player. Lots of player acquisitions recently across many teams... it always seems strange to me in the middle of the season. Tell those javelinas to am-scray!  ;) ;D

Lisa, pretty November greetings! You had a lot of trick-or-treaters!

Phyl, colorful November leaves!

Puff, you had more trick-or-treaters than I did!  ;)

Karen, I hope you and Piper enjoyed some Halloween treats!  :D


Waving to All the Beakers!  :D


The Twins scooped goo to turn pumpkins into Jack-O-Lanters, and went with their Dad in Halloween costumes out trick-or-treating. :D

baz  Got rid of one more piece - gave it to the guy who mows the lawn.  Then I even tried on - vanilla iced-covered Reese's thing.  Thought I'd give it a try since I don't do chocolate.  Never mind, don't ask.  Anyone want one stop on by, got 3 left?  I try to buy things that are popular, but then I get stuck with left overs that I don't like.  I bought myself some Kraft caramels - had to - they were displayed right next to Reese's.   :P

CLYNN  Glad you are there with Mom.  Kids are good pumpkin carvers.  How nice to keep in touch with Jerry.  He will always miss her  Wonder how the kids did Trick or Treating  :D

LISA   Today not a good day and maybe we will just be up and down for awhile.

OLDGUY   That chocolate dessert is right up my alley  LOL

LANI  That gif is spectacular!!   One grateful pup  ;D

BAZI   I went the AM to see if there indeed were acorns at the bottom of the porch step pumpkin - NO PUMPKIN  Not even a seed left  LOLOL   That's always the best part of the kids coming to the door - How cute they all look - We had lots of little ones.  Parents at the sidewalk saying " Did you say "Thank you?"   ;D

Tsk, do you mean that today is not a good day forTim?    Wish he would heal fast as I seem to remember
 another procedure in the future! Takes  awhile to heal as one ages.

Tig, nice pictures and pretty cabin with a killer view!   Like the composition of the first picture of the  second group as well.

(((Willie and Jerry))).
Lori, great goodies!

Old Guy, I helped Baz With the ice cream!  Hate to see something so oretty melt! I 40 is open!  The remaining two lanes are temporary two lanes.  Traffic moving very slow!  I am sure it is backed up as the traffic from the undamaged section-merges into this narrow lane.  Large trucks have to take the detour!   This fix is needed ot an easy one,  the road was not built in a year, but 5, and I will say no more!

KAREN   I'm here.  Just late today.  Yesterday was not a good day for Tim.  I'm working on a different plan today to get him moving and still let him sleep.  We see the surgeon on Monday.

PHYL   Cozy fireplace  :)    Pretty grouse.  Have flushed up 1 or 2 in my hiking experience.  That brave little kitty - " Hey look Mom. See what I did?"  LOL  Clever idea.

We took a drive down to Lake City and shopped some items at the apple orchard store. On the way we saw one of the DNR BEs on a branch near the nest, and another BE on a roadside tree a few miles down. A hawk took ownership of a used to be deer, and we saw 2 more BEs at the top of small trees at the head of the lake.

I've been trying to post some pics today with no luck. Maybe later.

Was that the sweetest Hudson valley FALL color I've ever seen ?

Might just be in the top 10 and I've seen a few.

Kopje's trail tail was a wagging and so was Pip's and I's as we hiked up.

Ripping tree colors .. glassed Raptors from a view on high we know.

We honestly lost count, we just let the glass hang down low and watched the raptor afternoon play out.

Kopje ?

What was like like that stuff .. M and D what's up with those flying around black dots ?

Hiking down & out at dusk because we know how and can do so safely back to the mobile.

Historic Places of the World

The Colosseum,   Rome, Italy

The Colosseum is an elliptical amphitheater in Rome, Italy that was built as a gift to the people of Rome:
Construction began in 72 AD under Emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under his successor, Titus.

The Colosseum is 620 by 513 feet (189 by 156 meters) and stands four stories tall at its highest point. It was the largest and most complex amphitheater of the ancient world.
And  could hold up to 50,000 spectators. Who attended gladiatorial combat, dramas, public executions, wild animal hunts, and mock naval battles.
It had a sanded arena floor, trapdoors in the floor that served as elevator caps, and underground lifting systems for introducing wild animals into the arena.
Two-thirds of the Colosseum has been destroyed due to vandalism, earthquakes, and fires. Today, it's a popular tourist attraction, with over four million visitors annually.

Royal Albatross update from Ranger Sharyn Broni :)

Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)

Now that we are into November egg laying has begun. There is typically 3 to 4 weeks of egg laying with most laid during the middle part of November.

https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/royal-cam/what-to-expect/#Nov-Dec

Nests are new and fresh and a lot of nest building and nest maintenance by the pair occurs at this stage. As pairs become busy with the task of incubation and foraging in turns, there will be less activity around the headland for a short time until non-breeder numbers build up. Non-breeders, including those who are returning to Pukekura for the first time in several years after fledging, will continue to arrive through to the end of the summer.

It is a busy time for rangers as well. The incubator room is running again, we prepare for the candling of each egg when they are 10 days old and irrigation for individual nests will be put in place once egg laying has finished.

https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/royal-cam/rangers-work-for-royal-albatross/

A new location for the Royalcam will be selected once egg laying is completed.

In the meantime, the juveniles are heading across the Pacific Ocean. Although they do not travel together, the parents of the fledged juveniles have also headed across the ocean. The breeders at Pukekura now are new breeders, those that failed early in 2024 and those that fledged chicks during 2023.

Today's GPS tag update of juvenile toroa from Pukekura tagged 25th of September and 5th of October 2024.
The five males and five females fledged from 240 to 264 days.
The distance across Te Moana-nui-a-kiwa | Pacific Ocean, is over 9000 km. The last two juveniles are yet to leave New Zealand waters.

It was salon day today.   :D

karen - I see the Saints head coach got fired!

baz - Keep us posted on the storm.  I may be taking a trip down to my brothers next week, but will know more tomorrow for sure. 

Lani - I did not know that about the the Eagle not being the official national bird.  Sweet sleeping pups.  Thanks for the Royal info!

Phyl - Love all your morning pics.  Thanks for the 365. 

tsk - Good luck with the surgeon follow up today for Tim.

good afternoon and thanks for all of your well wishes.

Tomorrow Chris is having GI surgery at Abbott Hospital in downtown Minneapolis. A very very dangerous area. Though the hospital is top notch. First time the surgeon could fit him in an operating room. Plus, my Jeep is stalling again. Can't risk that happening on the way down there so I told him he has to Uber the drive there and back. We have a hospital this surgeon attends at as well that's down the street from the house, but he's too busy.

In the meanwhile he's been waiting for almost 3 weeks for appropriate care.....I'm just disgusted.

Prayers please for a good outcome and a safe uber drive tomorrow near noon.

Oh, and it's election day as well.....good grief.

Course we've already voted but Thanks Minnesota for never fixing our crime problem since GF...sarcasm.
It's only gotten worse.

Lani, Go Chiefs! I'm hoping for Monday Night Football to distract me from all the other yucky news in the world - at least for a few hours... and then I will go to bed!  The weather may be iffy for the game... I hope there won't be a big delay, and they have a great game and win!  :D

Karen, oops, the Saints fired their coach after yesterday's game!  :o  It seems it didn't do to lose to the last place team (Carolina Panthers, who lost me as a fan years ago). I guess the good news is that it can only go up from here... for both teams!  ::)

Lisa, stay tuned for Tropical Depression 18's development and potential impacts. The models are all over the place right now. But it looks like maybe it will become a hurricane in the next few days (Rafael), and then maybe be way less strong than that by the time it gets to wherever it ends up going. Always subject to change, and could deliver a big chunk of rain somewhere along its eastern side, so keep up with its developments and forecasted impacts (not just the track, you know) at the National Hurricane Center's website.

Clynn, safe travels home tomorrow! I hope you don't have to dodge any bad weather. Awful storms, and damaging ones, in so many parts of the country the last few days! Prayers for all in the path of the severe storms.

Tig, enjoy your BOGO coffee.  ;D

KB, I hope all goes well for Chris, and that he will be feeling much better soon.


Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

TIG  Pretty good offer from Caribou!

LISA   Maybe " on the road again"  ;) ;)??   Is he still taking care of getting Mom's stuff organized?

KB   Certainly prayers for Chris tomorrow.   Sounds like a day surgery so let's hope that happens.  Is he nervous?  Some of the best hospitals are in rougher neighborhoods.   I see you answered my wonderings - about Uber...I've overheard people being told that. 

BAZI   Darn tootin' Carl is going to catch the red dot!   ;D

Surgeon follow-up went well but we had to hit the walk in clinic on the way home for a skin tear ( Tim has skin so thin - on blood thinners - that it tears when you look at it) that wouldn't stop bleeding despite the mound of various bandaids we piled on top.
They got it under control but now need to see the wound clinic at our hospital

Oh, Tsk!  Hope the wound clinic will be helpful!    I am sure 😊” the old apply pressure
Directly to the wound and  keep the  affected area  above the  heart”  does not work for thin skin and blood thinners.

 PHYL. I enjoyed your coffee, drinking little folks this morning . really quite nice ,coffee and pumpkins housing scenes, Everyone posted : were attractive. BAZ They I think the storm  will be named Rafael tomorrow sometime before it starts hitting various places in the Caribbean, including Cuba before moving to the south and middle Florida Keys .from there they are not making any firm statements as to what the storm will do. The gulf is cooler than it was so it may end up a big rain and wind event. You are right the weather has been terrible across the country.
LANI your report on the royal albatross is quite interesting. Thank you.
Drove up to the drugstore this afternoon with piper in the passenger seat acting as the copilot. She did an excellent job and got a stare without any incidents I’m back home. She did such a good job. She got a treat at the drive up window. I gave her pets from Maggie.
I hope everyone has a pleasant evening. Tomorrow is our last day without rain Wednesday Thursday and Friday will give us a pretty good soaking. This is the first rained here since HELENE.
SEEDS.

Not always clear on when to say goodnight and when to say good morning to you Lani.  12:44 a.m. on your post - and 5:50 a.m. on my post.  Yours from last night, mine from this morning.  Scheech!

I'll wait a while to go out to vote.  Lines are long from those voting before going into work.  Next rush is for those who leave during lunch hour; then the rest of the day is free, don't have to go back.  Last rush is for those who get to leave work early, maybe 3, on their way home from work. 

A lot depends on the rain.  Started Sunday, due to end in the morning, tomorrow morning.  Outside yard is getting further and further behind. 

Phooey on all this - let me just sip my tea and relax.  Later all!

I'm off soon to take a neighbor for her cataract eye procedure.

LGN was in Boston yesterday for appointments with her docs at Childrens Hospital there yesterday and today, but weird, unexpected lab came back by surprise yesterday while she was there for a procedure and other things. Docs thought immediately that it was certainly an error and repeated it. Same weird result came back.  :P  So she was admitted to ICU, while docs are scratching their heads. She's feeling perfectly normal, but getting treatment to try to get things back to normal, and there is progress. My Lil Sis drove up to their VA home near DC last night to be with Baby Bro there, while "Dad" flew up to Boston late last night to be with "Mom" and LGN. My Lil Sis said today that LGN has been acting totally fine the whole time, and is just happy as a doodle bug that she's getting unlimited ipad and TV time in her ICU room!!  :o No updates yet beyond that. Fingers crossed. :-*

Good afternoon the sloths are adorable And thanks for posting the picture LANi!
CLYNN good decision about not driving through the rain have fun today and have fun  in Albion. Safe travels tomorrow.
Lisa, the chocolate chip cookies looked marvelous this morning and of course the coffee is always good. I hope your niece is able to get settled fingers and toes crossed . the hurricane appears to be coming into the coast as only a storm with lots of rain and stretching from Alabama to the edge of Texas  a big sucker and they haven’t said yet how much rain is to be expected you may want to delay a few days
Baz, sorry to hear about LGNN. Hope her doctors will get everything fixed and back to normal soon. I’m sure she is well accustomed to hospital stays and gets along well when she is impatient.. keep us informed. Little brother appears not to like noodles, but sure does like the broth he has something else with his gorgeous red hair..
Piper was picked up this morning, a little after eight, and rode with her veterinarian fire of the limousine to her business, where she was given a light sedative and had her pedicure the limousine, then returned her home after nine what service she rode with the help and I had to the drugstore This afternoon and received another treat desk. I didn’t answer your question the other day but yes, I still have HeLth coming three days a week that’s all for now and hugs to everybody.

Some real concerns in chat today -

We have a unanimous poll Clynn  Take all the time you feel necessary.  Weather guy gets to make the rules for your return.  Delay = Good call.

Extra hugs and concerns for your LGN and all of you in the family.  Keep in touch for sure.  A whole lot of prayers being said. 

Even the animals (DOGS  CATS) know the value of shared hugs.  Good way to end the shared issues of all here.

some bounce

The polling place was busy but we did not need to wait in line too long... my knees survived.

Our Amazon order was not delivered to our back door. After checking the doors and gates around the house I went back to the Chromebook and located the picture of delivery. The 2 boxes were left out on the driveway... 50 feet from the house, by the vehicle entry door, which I cannot see from the house. Luckily, I kept checking the computer so I knew when the delivery happened, and luckily, it was not pouring rain at the time. So... I went out to the garage and got our 2 wheeler (which was easier than normal to access because Camper was away with our car) and loaded the heavy boxes and got them into the house. It took some time, but was able to speak to a customer service rep at Amazon and lodged my complaint. Talons crossed for better service in the future.

Hugz all...

Yup... Deliver to back door  is part of our address for Amazon, and there is a separate page to add delivery directions.
Yes,   was worried the boxes would not be there. I always try to be home and watch the computer like a Hawk. But then... Amazon thinks it cute to deliver a box a day early, like we found when returning from a movie yesterday. Luckily it was on our back porch, which is tough to see from the street.

Good news KB!

Hapoy Annuversary! 
Up early to let Piper okut before the rain starts!   First rain since Helene!   Not realbright out now and dark early in the evening!   Even though the sun is not out much, my roses are blooming and so are the early blooming camellia variety  sasansqua!  Pink petals on the bushes and a pink carpet on the ground under each blooming area pretty and fun. I have to go out one of these days and check the three oranges on my little bush. They were getting quite large, but still very dark green the last time I checked on them I may have three oranges, one for each of us at Christmas paper loves oranges. I have to do some business before the day gets away and again, good morning to all

Instead of rain, the sun is out!  I will have to check on ypthe latest gorecast. ,wevdo need a little moisture! Rain just started and we are scheduled to get anywhere from 2 to 10 inches of rain depending on where we are located and as it is only supposed to rain for another 55 minutes I don’t think I will have anything like 10 inches but it is a nice soaking rain for which I am grateful . Piper said she just went out so that was good and  I went with her and check the Satsuma orange tree. There are four oranges on it that are beginning to turn an orange color so hopefully they will be ripe and taste good when my friends come at Christmas .

He's better tsk. Course after general anesthesia and a ventilator his throat is sore....his area of surgery is sore and bleeding but not much. He's supposed to walk around 10-15 minutes for a total of 30 minutes a day starting today and he is.
Most importantly, the thing that brought us so much anxiety, grief, and suffering for 2 1/2 weeks prior is gone.

Now , just healing. thanks for asking.

Nellie needs a new battery. Turns out it is 4 years old not newer like originally thought according to them. Me thinks they didn't really look it up as my Jeep has 2 or more computer files for her under both Scott and My name so they merged them today. An older computer system of course at a station. Battery was just in the okay range when I brought her in but had been charged just less than 2 months ago. When I leave her sit for sometimes a few days or more at a time she needs a trickle charger which I have btw.

We went back and forth between buying a more expensive type battery for classic cars that sit and a regular one that did last 4 years plus trickle charging and that's what we decided on. Will pick her up in the am

Happy Birthdays and Anniversaries all....good times had by all I assume.

Tsk  these are small shrubs and I like potted ones on the pourch and deck to dress the areas up a bit.  On front porch
I have a hip height wircker planter that holds 3  mediium size plastic pots w/ saucers. The small 1.5'  starter shrubs are potted there.
I keep them trimmed to stunt growth.

Lani  sometimes Maggie eats banana slices; enjoyed the parrots (?)

Puff & KB thanks for the wedding anniversary wishes---it was a quiet one. Which is nice sometimes

Karen so glad you'll have Mickey for the holidays.  ;)

KB
tks for report on Chris.  I really was gonna inquire.    Glad he's up and walking & not overdoing either. And...the 'thing' causing
the grief is gone.  ;)
Glad Nellie saw the Jeep doctor and battery issue has attention.

Puff  I was pulling some weeds this AM and cloudy gray skies formed so I quit and got c leaned up. Will do more  when the skies
clear later.

Thank you all for Tim's b-day wishes today.  He sat with me at the PC as he hadn't yet seen the ecard one of my brothers sent so he also looked at the Beak cards.  All the goodies gave me an idea and when grocery shopping today I found individual cake ( frozen) slices  - 2 to a package that are cheating a bit on his diet but it is his b-day and we need something special. 
He's really doing much better today  On and off with the cane, much less pain complaints, getting involved with his life again. Only short day time naps.   We may even do an outing to Ace tomorrow and get some more suet!  LOL

I'm dutifully wanting to get my snowshoe dance on _ on one of these 'early' South Rockies snowstorms in NM.

Alas we're glued to the NE for life reasons. 

Lisa I think you're Green Light for Mobile, AL travel.

Clynn, I hope you’re safely home and relaxing with an adult beverage tonight.

Lani, surprise snowflakes for the morning gang! Fun!  :D

KB, glad Chris is feeling better!

Karen, Piper got the royal treatment!  :D Yay for your satsumas coming along with great timing for your holiday company coming!

BL, lots of good snow around. Hope you can get away to enjoy some before long.

Lisa, it’s sounding like any potential Rafael effects for the Gulf coast look like they will be long gone by next week. Unless it sends an offshoot plume of rain that way. Tho I don’t know what part of the week you’re looking at for that. Your niece will be happy to have your help. Hope all went well at Jeff’s appt.

Tig, glad the pkg collection was successful.

Puff, sounds like lots of rain. Hope the doc visit goes well and you get a good report.

Lori, I will help with all those yummy treats!  :) :D

OG, I might have to sneak a taste of that cake, too!  ;D

Phyl, what kind of shrubs do you like to use in that planter?

TSK, hope you and Tim don’t go too wild at the Ace outing! Just kidding.  ;) Glad to hear Tim is starting to get back in the groove again.


Thanks, All, for your good wishes for my LGN and Fam.  :-* As of early this morning, her labs came out of the critical range, so they planned to move her from her ICU bed to a bed on a regular floor. Last I heard, she was waiting for one to open up, so I’m guessing she got into one sometime today. Her docs still don’t know the cause of the critical imbalance she had though, but they have put together a plan, and if all goes well, she’s hoping to get discharged on Saturday. So if that happens, I don’t know if she and her parents will fly home then, or the day after. I guess that is all a wait-and-see. Fingers crossed. My Lil Sis will stay with Baby Bro back at the ranch till whenever.

I didn’t take my neighbor for cataract surgery yesterday, after all. She called to say she had the wrong day! !  ??? Anyway, instead, I took her today for her pre-cataract surgery visit at the eye doc’s office! Not sure what to think about that. LOL.

Good Night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Karen, Reading your post about your orange tree reminds me of the Orange and Lemon trees we had in Scottsdale. The smell of orange and lemon blossoms this time of year was lovely to smell. When we lived in Scottsdale, in January we would to go one of our neighbors uncle's home in Arcadia and pick boxes from his oranges, grapefruits and lemon grove. The smell was delicious! I'm so glad your having guests for the holidays. It'll be strange to have only Aly with us for Christmas this year. Shannon will be leaving Tuesday for Nevada.

{{{Kb}}} very happy for you that Chris is better....continued prayers.  :)

Phyl, One of my walking buddies has a beautiful siamese kitten. 8 months old, and Wasabi loves to eat broccoli, celery, she's a veggie girl! She'll jump on the kitchen counter grab a veggie and off she goes. Have a lovely anniversary day.

Tsk, I'm so glad to hear Tim is feeling a bit better.... I hope he has a happy day and enjoys his birthday cake. Everyone needs a treat on their special day. Bless you both.

BL, Northern New Mexico is beautiful in the winter. When Mike was doing work in NM in the 80's, we spent a lot of time driving back and forth through the northern part of NM. Beautiful country.

Tig, very cool for Camper  ;D

Baz, continued prayers for Lil Punkin and parents.  Hopefully the doctors will find the answers to their question and she's able to go home with a peace of mind. It's nice of you to help your neighbor.... take care

Good night!

That was an interesting 15-20 minutes at NN field.  Watched a young coyote searching, stocking, catch, eat its morning creature.  Looked to be a field mouse = very interesting and determined catch.  Guess the goods off the deer were now gone.  Good work and patience for the camera person.  Thanks!

It's good to be home! Had a good time with Mom and sisters, we invited family over on Saturday for cake and ice cream, so I got to visit with some I don't see very often. Uneventful trip home, so that was good! Still a lot of pretty trees down in Southern Illinois! Got the Prairie Farms chocolate milk and pork burgers from the locker. Wonderful filet mignon at the Haub Steak House in Haubstadt IN for Mom's birthday! She thanks all of you for the birthday wishes!

Lani, I remember when we were stationed at Luke AFB in Glendale AZ, there was an orange orchard in one direction, and a stockyard on the other. The aroma depended on which way the wind blew...the orange blossom smell was wonderful! Beautiful country in NM, I remember that we could see the Siera Blanca mountains from our house in Alamogordo, seems like there was always snow on the top!  Love your good night pooch!

baz, prayers have gone out for Lil' Punkin, hope it is something easily taken care of Glad to hear that she is her usual cheerful, happy self!  Prayers for all the family...

BL, don't know if I am one to revel or dread the cataract surgery on my one and only good eye... Are you heading out on another adventure before winter really sets in?

kb, good to hear that Chris is doing well...

Phyl, hope you and Jim had a wonderful anniversary celebration!

BAZI   Thanks for the b-day greetings for Tim. We did very much enjoy our slice of frozen Enteman's layered chocolate cake with an extra swirl of Hershey's chocolate and some Redi-whip  LOLOL   Nice that you can be on standby for your neighbor.    Wow and the docs are still puzzled at Punkin's wacky test results. :o :o  Maybe the extra days in the hospital will reveal more.

LANI   So happy to hear Aly will come down for Xmas.  Hope it is for a good chunk of time to make that long drive worthwhile.  Did Shannon find a place yet?    LOLOL  Wasabi   LOL

ClYNN  You are home!  Beautiful autumn pics this AM     Hope someone took a photo of Mom with her girls!!!  Sounds like the perfect 90th for Mom.  No thank you on Ophir pass  How do cars pass??

Good afternoon bakers the rain finally came last night and we ended up with 6.3 inches on the ground .pipe or went out during part of a heavy storm to potty and came in to get dried off with a towel .this morning ,although it wasn’t raining, there’s still a lot of puddles all over the yard and she came back in from her morning walkabout with her pedicure all wet She said it was all right though and she manage .  CLynn it’s good to see you back home safely ..
I am sure your mother had a lovely time with her girls celebrating 90 years of glorious life. Dinner sounds like it was wonderful.
.22 inches of rain expected today. Evidently schools are closed in Valdosta and many roads flooded out including homes and some folks were evacuated by boat. Much of this is not too far from where I live but I really never felt I was in any danger here probably not too smart an idea, but went to bed and went sound asleep  to the sound of thunder and lightning outside . One of the streets I travel a lot evidently looks like a tornado went through this road was also damaged or at least had a lot of tree damage during a lien. Our temperatures are still running 10° above normal.

I am late.  I had three MRI's back to back this morning, and it was a long time to be in the tunnel. 

I see I have lots to catch up on. 

karen - That is great that Piper loves fruit.  Bandit likes the smell of strawberries, but he nor Misty has never ate fruit. So glad you are having company for Christmas!
from karen - https://wwals.net/2024/11/07/twelve-inches-of-rain-on-valdosta-causes-flooding-and-bridge-and-school-closures/

Lori - The cake for Phyl & Jim looked delicious!  Hope you are Destini are doing good.  :)

Phyl - Oh my goodness...snow already??  Jeff's pressure is down in his eyes, due to the combination drops they gave him six weeks ago, so doctor said, lets go back to six month appointments.  Thanks for the 365's.

Lani - Thank you for wishes for Jeff, and thanks for the kind words.  Love the TRR pics.  Oh wow, Shannon is leaving so soon. 

kb - Good to hear that Chris is doing ok, and is not in any more pain.

tsk - Glad to hear that Tim had a good day, and was able to sit with you and do some thing.  Everyone deserves a cheat day.  Hope he enjoyed his cake.  :)

BrokenLug - Thank you!!

tig - Very cool on your new plates, and incorporating the word Camper!

baz - Still waiting on a move-in date for nice, was hoping she would get it today, or at least by tomorrow!  I want to be out of here Saturday or Sunday.  Sunday is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Run/Walk, so traffic will be a mess with one span closed for the event.  Hope lil Punkin and family get to go home by Saturday. 

Puff - I watched that action this morning at DNN before I left. Good find by the cam op. 

clynn - Welcome home.  Sounds like a great time for your Mom's 90th!  What are pork burgers? 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, nrstooge!

Karen, I'm glad your home/property, and YOU and PIPER are A-OK today! I have been watching the bad flooding news today on the Weather Channel about all that in and around Valdosta, and I-75, and nearby other areas - some highways and roads had closures due to flooding - saw about some flooding rescues, and water getting into some homes, too. Hope there were no injuries related to the possible tornado damage you mentioned! Lots of dicey, sevee weather in many parts of the country recently. You and Piper stay safe!  :) :-*

Hey Beakers:

Got a brand new battery in Nellie. She immediately seems to work better. Mechanic drove around town to test her and said: Man she drives nice and is like new but for the newer computer shit.
We went over how to use my trickle charger in the garage. Once a week morning till noon for example. Will do.
He said the old battery "looked like new" however it was 4 years old.

Whew...anyway, still picking up the pieces around the house, Ollie, etc. after 3 weeks of nonsense.

Today feels like the most "normal" day in a long time. Heading out to grill chicken, broccoli and scalloped potatoes are ready.

Have a great day all!

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS!  :D

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6e/c8/bd/6ec8bda4e254962b986c8777f6398907.jpg)


My LGN was still in the ICU as of this morning because a bed in a regular room never became available for her yesterday! I hope she can get moved to a regular room sometime today! Good news is that her labs are all now in the normal range! Yay!! Fingers crossed they stay that way! If so, she's looking to be discharged from the hospital in Boston on Saturday! Meanwhile, the Child Life staff there has been coming by with Legos, games, art supplies, and such for her. So nice they do that. And she has been able to walk the halls some, too. She got to go visit the hospital's Gift Shop yesterday!  :D  Her parents moved yesterday from the nearby hotel to a Family Housing place for patients' families that's about a 15-minute walk to the hospital and is provided at only $30 a night - a great help! Mom and Dad take turns being with my LGN, while the other gets work done, or goes to the hotel room to shower, sleep, etc. Mom has been spending the night in the room each night with LGN, per LGN's request. LGN is acting perfectly fine and loving getting all the ipad game time and extra one-on-one attention from M&D.
 M&D are very happy the labs are back in the normal range, but they are worn down!  :-* :-*  The docs still have no clue what caused things to go wacky to begin with. Though Mom and the main doc suspect a med that had been started a couple months ago, which hasn't produced the hopeful results (unfortunately - that's a different struggle), could be the culprit, and she is now starting to be weaned off that (which will take a couple months). But the endocrinologist says, "No way" that is the cause, and if it turned out to be the case, it would be the first time it had ever caused such a side effect as that wacky imbalance that showed up by surprise in the labs. So... the medical team is just moving ahead with the plan they've put in place now, and hoping the situation doesn't come back. So, it's still a head-scratcher.

Thanks to All the Beakers for your good wishes and prayers for my LGN and Family!  :-* :-*


Lisa, wow - 3 MRIs back-to-back! I've had 2 back to back, just in Septeber, and that took a long time - you had 3!! I hope whatever it's for, they find helpful info and a good solution for you! Yay for Jeff's eye meds bringing good results! I hope that continues, and things stay promising for that!  :)  By the way... KEEP UP WITH THE PATH AND FORECAST FOR HURR RAFAEL! Models are NOT in agreement, and it seems the American (GFS) model wants to take it north to the LA Gulf coast this weekend! But the Euro model, keeps it moving west toward Mexico. Either way, it will not still be a hurricane or tropical storm, but it could make for a buttload of rain or other associated weather... you know, it's all about the IMPACTS. So... just saying... keep your eye on that, and hopefully a more certain path will come into agreement soon! The Weather Channel gave a very good analysis about all this. The National Hurricane Center is using primarily the European model forecast for its current forecast, but have clearly stated that there is wide uncertainty.

Clynn, sounds like a wonderful birthday trip to your Mom's!

TSK, I hope Tim is better and better today, and each day!

Lori, yum on that white chocolate raspberry cake you made for NR's birthday today! Must be something in the water today... LOL... because for breakfast today, I had a slice of NY cheesecake and added a bunch of fresh raspberries and pieces of Hershey's chocolate!! Sooo good! Breakfast!  ;D 8)

Puff, good catch on the coyote's successful hunt in the field near the North nest via cam!

KB, glad Nellie has a new battery and is running great! Yummy meal plan for the grill!

Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

So glad everyone has enjoyed  the 2024 Thanksgiving commercial from Publix.

Lani tks for Sloth Cam updates at TRR. The critters look well and happy.

Lori another delicious creation for  NR's birthday . Thank you.

Hi Lisa  pretty Autumn bouquet; sounds like some good news for Jeff  ;)  Gosh-a-mighty 3 MRIs in succession---I hope Doc find and can treat whatever they're searching;   I would guess 'pork burgers' are similar to hamburgers. But...
this will get yyou started.

Karen relieved  your home/property, You and Piper  are well.

KB so glad Nellie's good to go. I hope you can keep her w/ you and running for a long time

Bazi thanks for the update on LGN.   Sounds like her parents have a plan and the Docs may be close to figuring this all out. Let's hope so.
As Lani and CLynn once told me, "Beaker prayers are powerful!'

Lani, I think Ed has already finished one half gallon of the chocolate milk! I usually get 8 half gallons (I have a little cooler that they fit in perfetly). This time I had room in the other cooler so I got 3 for Erin too. Love the sleeping ginger kitty... Thanks for the baby sloth pics!

tsk, Mom is slowing down but still doing good! We did a little road trip on Monday, she loves road trips! It was so funny, we didn't want to take 2 cars, so Becky and Kelsey rode in the back of the SUV. It was.so funny, Kelsey had a great time with Aunt Becky! You won't believe it but we ALL forgot to get a picture of all of us with Mom! I agree, Tim needs a treat once in a while! I had treats at Mom's, will not check the scale for a few days...  ;D

Phyl, love the pics in your good morning yesterday, very clever! Thanks for the Publix video, it is wonderful!  They do this every year, right? That has to create a lot of good will, it is so sincere and thoughtful! Loved the little snake pop out in the 365!

Lori, love that cake for nr! YUMMY!

Lisa, beautiful flowers, and wow on the 3 MRIs! Hope they found what they were looking for! I get the pork burgers at Country Home Processing in Albion. They are just hamburgers made with pork instead of beef, and they are seasoned so they don't taste like plain ol' sausage. They used to be a big feature on Pork Day USA, along with pork chops. But Pork Day USA bit the dust a few year ago...

baz, glad to hear Lil' Punkin is good and will be home soon! What a scare for the family!

nr, sorry I missed your birthday!

baz - You're welcome.  I try to post for karen's links when I can.  :)  Glad to hear the Punkin's labs are back in normal range.  Hope she and family get to go home soon. 

kb - Yay, a brand new battery for Nellie.  Glad to hear she is good to go.  How is Chris feeling?  Your dinner sounded delish!

Phyl - Thanks for the pork burger recipe. 

tsk - Yes, 2.5 hours in the tunnel was alot.  The first MRI was the hand, and the hardest to do for me, as I had to lay on my tummy with arm stretched forward and go in head first.  I think I told you that I slipped in my kitchen back in August and my two fingers on dominant hand have been hurting.  I did x-rays, and a nerve conduction test, and those showed no broken bones or carpal tunnel returning.  But, MRI did show that I have partial tear of the ulnar aspect of the A1 pulley of the fifth metacarpal head with overlying soft tissue edema. Those two fingers keep locking up when I bent them, but not all the time. The other two MRI's were of C-spine and lower back, herniated and bulging discs were found. 

karen - Wow, that is alot of rain!

Lani - Thank you  :-*  Sweet sleeping kitty. 

clynn - I would like to visit Country Home Processing!  Looks like my kinda place.  GReat pic of your Mom, Aunt Becky and Kelsey.  Where did you all stop to eat on that day?  I see the lil order thing on the side of the car. 

Puff, tig and all - Morning  :)

 I'm sorry to read of the results of the MRIs. At which disc/s  is the herniation? Mine are at C-3 thru C-6  and L4-5 and S-1. The only discs I'd let Docs mess with are my cervical spine which an ACDF was performed on C-3 thru C-6 (with a titanium plate screwed into those discs). I'm praying you don't have that ahead of you.
Nothing has been done to the lumbar and sacrum discs , because I wouldn't allow that.

Good morning a cloudy day, but so far no rain Phyl my street did not flood and I am able to get out and get what I need by car so all is good here. Many places in town did not share that well but we will dry out. I think next week we will have temperatures dropping into the 70s and maybe even some days in the 60s which will be a relief from the heat we’ve had since who knows win, then I’m very very hot year running about 10° or more above normal have not checked the hurricane to see which model it’s following or if it’s made up its own mind as to where it’s going.
Thanks for everybody’s posts and thanks to Lisa for posting for me as I am somewhat computer challenged.
Great pictures of your mother and family CLYNN. Love Kelsey and Becky is in the back of the SUV and your mother looks great. Good for her.
Lisa, I never could stand three MRIs in a row as I can’t stand one the jackhammer sound in my ears but the discomfort of the bed of that MRI machine are almost too much. They do however show what’s wrong and I hope you’re able to get some relief from your aches and pains..  four arthritis Tylenol a day, almost does it for me, but not quite.
Lenny, thanks for the sloths and hope all is well at your house
Task. Give him a hug.
Oh guy that was one of the funniest cartoons I’ve ever seen. Thank you. Off to do a few errands errands in the house.

Do we know anything about the BE that's showing up on Hatchery cam.  Is it a newbie or HM of HF?
Was perched along side of the road yesterday, too.

Approximately 2 year old Juvie bald eagle taken at Pearl Park in South Minneapolis. Great grab of pic.

Lisa - take care of that hand....the rest can wait imho...

Good afternoon all....got a lot done today with perhaps the last warm day of the season?..still much more to do but felt great. Chris is having a recurrence of symptoms, but surgeon said not to worry till Monday at the earliest. After all he had general anesthesia. Chris even walked with me and Ollie today.
Oh and Ollie got his last bath outside till spring...He is good except for the drying part. Now resting on a towel on the couch with me after I dried him as much as he allowed.

TGIF BEAKERS!!  :D

My LGN is still in the ICU. Her labs went in the wrong direction overnight last night. Ugh. She has to have normal labs for 48 hours to get discharged... so not before Sunday at the earliest now. I don't know if they have gone back to normal during the day today - haven't gotten an update since mid-morning. Her Mom (and 1 doc) are suspicious of a particular med that she started on a couple months ago as being the problem, but the endocrinologist is saying ix-nay on that idea. However, Mom (my niece) did some heavy duty research last night and found 3 - count 'em, 3! - published research results/articles saying that that particular same med that LGN started on a couple months back has been found to produce extreme potassium readings. That is one of a couple of main lab tests that was in the crazy way low out-of-whack reading when they first discovered a problem and sent her from the clinic at the hospital to the ER to get admitted this past Monday. It was so out of whack that the doctors initially said it had to be an error. But a re-test showed it was not an error. Extreme readings!! Mom (my niece) sent those 3 articles to her docs. I can't wait to hear the feedback! She lets nothing go without serious consideration, so I'm sure she will get some feedback. And I'm guessing the one doc who was suspicious of that med, the same as she was, will definitely have something to say about it. Might be news for the endocrinologist!  ;D 8)  We'll see. It would be great if they can pinpoint the cause, and take the correct path forward to prevent it from happening in the future. Meanwhile... labs going up and down, and LGN still in ICU.

Thanks to ((All)) for sending your good wishes and prayers.  :-* :-*


Clynn, great pic of your Mom and her gorgeous birthday flowers!!  She looks great!! - much younger than her years!! That's why I like that expression, "Age is just a number!"  :D :D  Love the pic of Kelsey and your sister, Becky! It's easy to see they are having a blast!!  ;D :-* :-* Gorgeous result of the photo of the moon through a whole cycle of its phases, from the same place and time!! Very cool. Helix!

kb - Great pic of the young eagle. 

Puff - The eagles on the hatchery cam are HM & HD  ;)

tsk - Doc is going to call me Monday, and go over more things.  I have been taking 800mg Ibuprofen for the whole body, but I do feel like the hand might heal on its own.  I just don't like when they pop/get stuck when bending.   I am sure they are going to want to send me to PT.

LORI   That apple puff pastry is to die for!! ;D  I can taste it with a small scoop of vanilla and a dollop of whip cream  LOL

KB     Kudos to Chris for going the distance today.  Tim always feels the greatest when I make him walk for 10 min in the house.

CLYNN   Thanks  Tomorrow we will order some take out from a nice restaurant.  I need a night not cooking.  Tim agrees. ;D

BAZI   Your niece is one tenacious young lady leaving no stone unturned.  Good for her but you kind of wish the docs would be doing that too??  Sure hope this will be the solution with the longer term effects of this relatively "new" med.  I find this so interesting - I know you will update as necessary.   Thanks for the greeting  :)

LISA    Thank you.

TIG   Thanks   Boy you are home long enough just to get the laundry done for the next adventure  LOL  Cove Point - looks like a beautiful place.

KAREN   Thanks Karen.    Actually I drove us around today and we knocked off a few tasks that normally Tim would have done on his own.  Tomorrow I'm making him come with me to a holiday event at one of our nurseries so he can get some walking in.

OLDGUY   Cupcakes too beautiful to eat - thanks

Tsk, I'm sorry I wasn't able to send you anniversary greetings this morning. I hope you both had a lovely day.
I had an 8am Zoom meeting that wasn't planned. Then we left for the valley by 11am to get some equipment in Mesa Mike needed to send off to Houston and then
quick stop to see Shannon for a few minutes. She's so busy, last day of work is tomorrow. We were back home by 4:30.
Long day....

A big surprise this week, the CEO of Mike's company is in the process of selling the company to a big corp in Washington state. It'll be done by mid-December.
Thankfully, Mike can stay on and continue his responsibilities. It's been a shocker of a week as far as Mike's job and Shannon moving.
Too much going on for this old girl.  :P. I just want to sit with a cup of warm tea and enjoy life. LOL!

Clynn, beautiful autumn morning pics... especially your mom, Becky and Kelsey! They look very happy, especially Kelsey!  ;D ... Gorgeous birthday flowers for your mom.
stunning national park pics.... cool moon pics. Love Mr D's menu! Peppermint shake! YUM!!

Oldguy funny cartoon for Lisa. LOL!

Tig, on the road again?! Safe travels.  :)

{{{Lisa}}} I just read your MRI results, I'm so sorry.... I just read your post to Karen.. they gave you ear plugs, socks and warm blanket. You were in there a long time. Did you order lunch? LOL! but seriously, I'm so sorry, you must be very uncomfortable. Sending you gentle hugs and prayers.  :-*

Phyl, Perfect autumn puzzle pictures in your morning posts!..  beautiful snowy day and red cardinal in today's nature video.

Lori, delicious anniversary treats for Tsk and Tim!  ;D

Hi Puff

Kb, beautiful juvie.. happy to hear Chris was able to get out with you and Ollie. Continue prayers for his healing... {{{Ollie}}}

Baz, I'm sorry to hear Lil punkin has had a set back, continued prayers and may she be able to leave Tuesday.

Karen, Awesome pic of SWFL's precious 1st egg of the season and adoring parents..and fish for mom and the pantry. Hugs all around  :-*

Good night! :-*

Lani, you had a busy day yesterday! Glad you got to see Shannon again before she leaves, and great to hear that Mike's job is safe! I bet you had more than one cup of tea! How are the Furkids doing? I am not a big fan of peppermint, but I love peppermint ice cream and therefore peppermint shakes! Mrs. Meyers has 2 seasonal scents that I love, Snowdrop and Peppermint! I get the hand soap, dish soap, cleaning spray and whatever else comes with it.  https://www.mrsmeyers.com/scent/snowdrop/

karen, love the picture of the brand new SWFL egg! I looked at the egg-laying history for the nest, eggs are usually laid later in November, Yes, a couple of weeks early this year!

tsk, slowly getting back to normal...keep him walking, sounds like you have found the key! Everyone needs to eat out now and then! We ate at Cracker Barrell last evening with Erin's, for Ed's birthday. So I got some Grandma time with my Bella girl! She is getting quite artsy!

Lisa, hoping good comes of all those MRIs! P/T is always good!

baz, good for your niece! She certainly knows how to fight for what is right, sorry Lil' Punkin has to go through this now...

Lori, oh my, those goodies for tsk & Tim! Hope you and Destini are doing well!

Phyl, great 365, I love watching the squirrels play! In our yard they go up the Maple tree, across the big shed roof, down to the lilac bush and over to the Birdola feeding station! In about 10 seconds! love the morning cat pics! There are so many beautiful fall pictures out there, and even better with cats! Very interesting, the biscuits on the clay!  Still laughing at the cat with the cigar...  :o

David Attenborough Fans - At first, when I saw this creature, I thought it was merely a toy resembling a walking snake skeleton. However, as it slowly inched closer, I realized that it was, in fact, a highly dangerous venomous snake that should never be approached   https://hasanjasim.online/unveiling-the-enigmatic-gaboon-viper-natures-master-of-camouflage-and-lethal-precision/?bclid=IwY2xjawGcVxRleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHZPGPNe9EXaj2LSRKbWuQcFLiJo4OZpB2CfXWiJKThRRDutuG9xpoQCp0A_aem_UDD25Hx0RgFgtcpm_5A

CLYNN   Panties with the day of the week on them  LOLOL   I've never seen nor heard of that snake.  It did look like a toy to me as well  WOW  Had to look up where you find it.   Rainforests and savannas of sub Saharan Africa

By the way I do believe your anniversary is the 40th!!!

LOL, I needed lunch after I got out the MRI!

clynn - Thank you.  Is the Mrs. Meyers something you have to order online?  I don't think I have ever seen that in my store.  Pretty pics this morning.

I haven't heard any updates yet today on my LGN.  :-*

Clynn, I bet dinner out with Erin's was tasty and fun! Glad you got a Bella Fix.   :D

Lani, what a big surprise about the changes with Mike's employer! Glad his job is safe, and I hope it's a seamless transition. You have had a wild week! I might've put something in that tea.  ;) 8)  P.S. College basketball season has been nowhere on my radar yet this season! So I totally missed the KU v. UNC basketball game! Sounds like that was a good thing for me, considering how it went!  ::) :P Next time!  ;D

Lisa, glad you got some good info from your MRI, and hope there's some helpful solutions so you can find more comfort. Are you heading out LA/AL way today? Safe travels!

Lori, yummy cappuccino treats! I hope I can get a small cuppa.  ;)

Phyl, how are your knees feeling now after all your gel injections? My neighbor told me this week she is probably getting ready to start her series of gel knee injections soon. She has a whole host of serious health issues, so I hope she will get at least some comfort from those.

Tig, I recorded the WTA Finals final match today - so I'm getting ready to go watch and see who won. I hope Gauff had a winning match! Have fun at the cabin! Ruh roh, I think I just saw the result - if that's what your post just now refers to.

TSK, maybe you and Tim can get a short fresh-air walk in this weekend, if the weather agrees. Yay for takeout! You need a break!!  :)


Waving to All the Beakers!!

Enjoy some Green Tomato Cake!!  :D
Recipe and info:
https://brooklynfarmgirl.com/green-tomato-cake/ - where this says, "Green tomato cake with cream cheese frosting uses 4 cups of unripe green tomatoes baked into it. Despite its unconventional use of tomatoes, it tastes like a moist coffee cake! It’s a perfect treat for anyone who wants to use up their garden green tomatoes!"

The craftsmanship of the woods bends boggles my mind.

BAZI   Now that green tomato cake sounds interesting  ;D   Sweet pics of the kids.  Nice in the hospital Punkin can wear her own clothes.  That is one well loved tree  ;D    That is such a cool bed construct for the girls!!!

Waiting for the 8 PM lab results.


TSK, I thought about you when I looked at the green tomato dessert recipes.  ;) Let me know if you try that cake. It sounds like a good coffee cake style sweet treat, and you can use up some green tomatoes in the process!  ;) Yep, Dad put that Girls room together at his house. A good job, I say!  :D He just recently switched out the kids’ rooms and repainted and redecorated them. My twin greatnephew was moved to the smaller bedroom, but has it all to himself. It’s painted and styled to his druthers, and he’s liking it lots. Nothing like having 2 sets of everything for all the 4 kids, since Mom is remarried and lives in a large home that accommodates the 4 twins, and her husband’s 3 children, too. So, is today Clynn and Ed’s anniversary? Or are you saying it’s their 2nd 40th?  ;) :D

Lisa, it sounds like your trip is delayed. I hope your niece gets a move-in date soon. Will that be in AL, or LA?

BL, LOL, PIP!  ;D

Puff, are you sticking your tongue out back at my Caturday Cat?



I just got word that the 8 pm labs were mixed for my LGN. All was normal except potassium, and that was not normal, but also not critical, and she hasn’t had extra potassium for 24 hrs, so Mom is considering that a small win but not a home run. I don’t know what that means re. a discharge date, other than it’s a wait-and-see.

Good nite. Peace.

Two good morning - good week - stories to start the day.

First, if you didn't open the post from Lisa on the previous page do so  - you have to be amused and uplifted by the ladies visiting N. C.  The enthusiasm and good vibes from the locals shows the spirit of its residents.  God bless them.

And, second, just heard that the rain we had last night and finishing up this morning here (IL) is moving east.  After 40+ days it should be showing up soon for the east coast.  Hooray! for y'all.   ;D

Ed asked me to thank all of you for the birthday wishes! And I thank you all as well!

Lani, sounds like everything will stay pretty much the same for Mike in the coming year. That is a good thing! I am sure the company more than appreciates his staying through the transition! I love it when it's raining leaves, our back yard has a yellow leaf carpet from the Maple trees! I'll get a pic later...

oldguy, I am sure you are busy, the weather has finally turned colder and the Christmas commercials are on tv now!  I got my $96 Menards rebate Wednesday, I am sure there is something I need to go buy!  Thanks for the links, I will get to them this morning!

baz, thanks for the update on Lil' Punkin, hopefully things are heading for better! Prayers, for sure!  Love the twins and 1/2 and their very unique bed! That would be so much fun! It looks like the twins split up, one up and one down. Am I seeing right? Very clever setup by dad!

tsk, we all have 'brain farts'! I have seen Mrs. Meyers in Walmart and Target, but only in limited scents/ Target usually has some of the Holiday scents. Their website has all of them and in most every product. The two bundles I purchased included a room freshener spray and a candle. 

Lisa, thanks for the article on Ashville from Karen!

Phyl, great cat shames! Especially the one about buying cat food they decided not to like! Have had that happen more than once.  I hope Maggie got her dinner last night! They can tell when you're late with their food!

In France, there’s a road called Passage du Gois that seems to have a mind of its own. Twice a day, it disappears under 13 feet of water, only to reappear a few hours later. If you want to cross it, you have to be quick, or the sea will rise and swallow it up again! It’s like something out of a fairy tale, but it’s real, and people still use it—if they dare!

Old City of Jerusalem

Surrounded by ancient walls, the Old City is home to holy sites such as the Western Wall, Dome of the Rock Islamic shrine, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which dates to the 4th century. Shops and markets selling prayer shawls, rosaries, and ceramics fill busy alleys, while food stalls serve falafel, pita, and fresh-squeezed juice. In a medieval citadel, the Tower of David museum chronicles the city’s history.

clynn - I just realized that I said, Happy Anniversary, but not Happy Birthday to Ed.  Thanks for the info on Mrs. Meyers.  I will look in Target, and see if they have it here. Very cool about the Passage du Gois. Ooo, those pies in your morning pic look good. 
Happy Belated Birthday to Ed!!
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d7/14/bc/d714bc993c8739b579871799dfc81103.jpg)

Phyl - I had to laugh out loud at the cat pic from last night about "all the Pate my cat won't eat $30".  Picky Bandit does that to us sometimes.  I'm glad we have lots of friends with cats who take it off our hands. Love those cupcakes. 

BL - LOL, Pip said, shut up!

tsk - I sure will.  I need all the prayers I can get.  I was thinking of flying, but you know me...love to DRIVE!

baz -  Hoping all of Punkin's labs are heading in the right direction.  The niece is still living in Mobile, and new apartment will be there, too.  I am crossing everything that they contact her on Monday to give her a move-in date.  Jeff is off this week, and he will be able to stay home with kitties. 

oldguy - Not a bad night for cards.  Thanks for the videos. 

Lani - Well, rats...I thought that might have meant less traveling for him.

Puff, tig, kb, karen and all  - Morning  :)

clynn, beautiful fall pics... I'm so ready for pumpkin pie.... interesting about the road in France... awesome fallen tree in Oregon. Aly and Dewey spend early morning hours walking through Oregon forests.

Tsk, I hope you and Tim have a good day.  :)

Phyl, Love the Pumpkin dessert tree. YUM! ...brrr, needed a sweater after watching today's nature video... pretty pic of Old City of Jerusalem

My LGN's 4 AM labs all came back normal!! Yay!! Fingers crossed!  :) :-*

Thanks to you, All, for your good wishes and prayers for her and family.  :-* :-*

I walked 29 minutes this morning. Beautiful and sunny. Clouds are moving in now. We may get some showers overnight, and thunderstorms in the morning. We need rain badly, as does so much of the country - one of the worst droughts on record for the U.S.

All the wildfires are just awful - west coast and the northeast.

Prayers for all in the path of the severe weather and fires.



TSK, I haven't heard anything about reaction to the research articles emailed to docs. I'd love to know!  ;D

Clynn, yes, you are seeing right. The older twin girl used to share a bedroom with her twin brother, but they are getting too old now to do that anymore, hence the change-up in the bedrooms and sleeping arrangements. I'm guessing the older twin wanted to be up top, so that made for the younger twins to split up top and bottom. I wonder if they trade off from time to time. Your pies look like they could be in the same room as the giant stone fireplace that BL posted a few days back. I hope you and Ed get to do something special for your Anniversary. Congrats, again! Your 40th! Again!! LOLOL. (per TSK)  ;) ;) ;D ;D

Lani, I won't get to watch the Chiefs play today. It must be a regional broadcast on TV because my local CBS affiliate is showing the Washington game now - same time as the Chiefs' game. But I see I will get to watch the Chiefs in their game next weekend! Have a good day helping Shannon! LOL on the pontificating bulldog!!  :D

Lisa, oh, Mobile. I couldn't remember where you had said she lives. She's your brother's daughter? Is she moving from his house to her apartment? Will he help her with the move? Fingers crossed she gets a move-in date tomorrow!! Well, I guess if you end up not traveling this week, then you and Jeff will have time to do a lot of other fun things while he takes some time off. Maybe y'all could enjoy a nice Fall sightseeing day trip if the weather agrees.  :)

Phyl, love that cupcake tower in the Autumn colors!

Puff, yes, I opened the FB article Karen sent for Lisa to post. Biltmore House is something to see, especially when it's decorated for Christmas! The scale never comes through in the pictures. I have been there quite a few times, but only once when it was all set up for Christmas. I'm sure everyone in that region is happy to see some tourists starting to visit again. Prayers for all suffering from the effects of flooding from Hurricane Helene, and the other severe storms.

KB, enjoy the game. What do I smell cooking in your crockpot today?  :D

Oldguy, I say 1 out of 2 ain't bad!!  ;D Though Meat Loaf sang, "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad."  :D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5hWWe-ts2s (I still love this, after all these years! 1977 "Bat Out of Hell" album!!)  :-* :-*

 P.S. That was written by Jim Steinman, an incredible talent!! who lived an exceptional life, with so many credits from many famous and well-known works!!  I didn't know about half of it till I read this about him - Wow!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Steinman

Post by: kbshcb on November 10, 2024, 12:44:32 PM

Baz - LOL. I'm cheating today. Yes, it's cool enough for a crock-pot meal. But, I went to Whole Foods yesterday and bought lots of pre made food from their hot deli. In this location, they make great food and it gives me quite a few days of no cooking, just re-heating and adding a few seasons etc.

Tonight is their lemon fish, some cold pasta, I forgot which one but they are all good, mixed vegies, and a banana with of course their salted caramel sauce.

a needed break from cooking so much with all the fall/winter clean up/preparation, still not finished, and health issues lasting for a solid 3 weeks....oh, and there is lil Ollie man!

Finally, now after having less than a month ago augered the upstairs toilet professionally, it's not working well again. Will call tomorrow, assuming Veterans Day is not a day of repose for them ;) ;)

Glad to hear your LGN's labs were normal again...

We have a dinner reservation back at the lodge later
Two separate years, we climbed Day Hill for pics. Quite an adventure trekking down in the dark. Those days are past.

Ed's birthday Saturday, Marine Corp's Birthday Sunday and Veteran's Day today!

Puff, thank you! I am planning to re-do the collages sometime before Memorial Day so that we can read all the names and have the pictures a little bigger. We shall see if I can get it done. Technology is not my strong skill!1 ;D

Lani, intense looking owl! Shannon starting her new adventure! Becky and Jennifer spent the night in Idaho, they will be back home in Corvallis this evening. Peace to you and Mike!  Love the Pontiff dog, he looks stern!

Baz, so happy to hear that Lil' Punkin's results are good, hoping she and the family get to go home soon! Love the pictures, she looks like she can be sassy, like Bella! Lil' Bro is a doll, that hair! He will have girls chasing him when he's older!  Glad to hear you got your walk in! I am thinking of getting one of those portable walking pads so I can walk through the winter when it's too cold outside.

tsk, how is Tim doing? Getting back to normal I hope! I meant to snap a picture of our back yard yesterday but forgot! The yellow 'carpet' is very pretty, and still more to come!

Happy Veterans Day!  Clynn, a great tribute to those who served!   An unsung but supportive group are the families at home, particularly the WW11 who lived with intense rationing!  That total involvement has not been seen since. 

Temperature is currently  73 degrees with 90% humidity.  The high today will be in the 80’s.  THE SWAMP!
Hope all have a good day!

Thanks Lisa! 

Good luck Baz to LGN!  Praying the labs continue in the right direction!
Waves to all Beakers and .seds!

Karen, thanks! :)  I got word this morning that LGN is due to be discharged early tomorrow!! She and her parents are booked to fly home at noon tomorrow from BOS Logan. WOOT!!  :-* :-*  (And fingers crossed it doesn't change!) Thanks for your news post from FB, via Lisa - Thanks, Lisa!  :) I think those people need to be heavily fined. And I think those signs should include info about fines (or charges) being assessed for violators - like they do for construction zone reduced speed signs. There needs to be a serious enforcement action to make people stop doing stupid shit that endangers them, other people, and responders.

((Lisa)), thanks for posting Karen's NC FB news link.  :) Thanks for your good wishes for my LGN, too.  :-* She's supposed to be discharged early Tuesday morning!! Yay!!  :D  Some family relationships sure get complicated, don't they?!? My family deals with some of that, too!! Don't you wish that by the time we were all adults that we all would do better with that kind of thing? It sure would make life less stressful!! Your (step) niece is very lucky to have your concern, love, and big-time help!! I hope she shows you some sincere appreciation, and also agrees to work harder on her "adulting" skills you mentioned once before.  ;) :D :-*  Hugs to you!!  :-*


HAPPY VETERANS DAY, BEAKERS!  :)

I'm still in the process of reading all the posts since yesterday afternoon, but wanted to stop by real quick to say...

Yay! My LGN is supposed to be discharged from the hospital early tomorrow morning! She and her family are scheduled for a noon flight home from Boston tomorrow! Fingers crossed!  :D

(((Clynn))), thank you for posting the tribute to Beak and Cheers Forum members and their relatives who served in the armed forces!!  :-* :-*  Let me know what you decide about a walking pad. I don't know anything about them, other than seeing people using them at work in the past, on TV and in videos, for example. I just now googled them, and boy! there sure are many models and options and price points!!  :o  I'd be hard-pressed to get one I couldn't try out first. I did find this review of one particular model, from almost a year ago (Jan. 2024), and found it helpful in terms of generally what to look out for, tips, and pros and cons, as well as a review of one particular model from last January. It was a "Today Show" review, and I have no idea if all the related ads at this link for that review are also from a year ago... just FYI, and sharing, in case you're interested in what this person's experience was:
https://www.today.com/health/diet-fitness/walking-pad-review-rcna134124 (This is from last January 2024, FYI!)

Tig, thanks. Smooth travels, and have another fun day!

Phyl, Navy cats!  :D

Lani, smooth travels to and from the valley! I'm guessing you're helping Shannon again today.  :)


Thanks to All the Beakers for your kind wishes of support, finger-crossing, and prayers for my LGN and Family!! Hugs and  :-* :-* to you all!  :D

Waving to All the Beakers! Have a good day!!  :)

AMEN to what baz said about people in NC and their actions aka shit.  I had thoughts and even talked to them as I read your post.  Can I add my thoughts?  It really is so wrong for them to go around the signs.  What it does achieve is a waste of time, lives, and $$$$  just to save and rescue the fools from themselves.     Thanks.

       EGG2  laid ArT SWFL today!  Boy, she is fast.  They usually have 2 eaglets  but but am thinking there may be more!

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: BrokenLug on November 11, 2024, 03:06:43 PM

Point of origin VS not arriving at all ever again anywhere.

Morons that drive around ROAD CLOSED signs is irrelevant.

Emergency Services Personnel put the signs up for a very good reason !!!

When you go around those signs you don't just put you and your family's life at risk BUT ALSO the 1st responders lives that have to go and try to save your stupid ass.   ::) ::)

When we were down in Watauga County, NC right after Helene went through we saw plenty of people drive around the road closed signs.   >:( :( :o
MOST Only to return 5/10/15 minutes later the way they went in _ why _ because there was no road, no bridge, land slides, standing/ raging flowing water that may or may not have a road under it, tangled fallen trees that you would have needed a helicopter to get around ..... etc .....   ::)

Barb and Tom who are in Florida for November reported going out to eat breakfast this morning.  Of course Tom always wears his Vietnam cap.   A man at the next table came up to them and said he noticed Toms cap and said he too was ia Vietnam vet - stateside assignment a few years later than Tom's years of service.   When B&T left - Their bill had been paid and were also given a $20 gift certificate to the restaurant!!

PHYL  Cute Navy cat  ;D

KAREN   At times like you have today in the SWAMP  just remember Chicago crisp sunny mid 50's - low, low humidity  LOLOL

LANI   Hugs to you and Shannon.  :-*

BAZI   Great news for Punkin'  But my big "what if" is what to do if it happens again???  Wonder what they changed to make it all good???   Pray it is the right "change" whatever they did. :-*   Walking pad - hand holders for me are a must.  I will google more of them when done with this post.  I did and many have rails.  My MIL had one eons ago and it seemed more difficult to generate your own power to make the steps than to have you "forced" to step on a treadmill.  What ever works!  Outside hiking is the best  LOLOL

TIG  Any more adventures before the end of the year???

Tsk don’t think I haven’t thought about the Cris days in Chicago Sundays. I even take the snow would be a wonderful fit problem being where to go and how I could maneuver around and get doctors that I need so I said sit here in the swamp. Lol lol OL.
Talked with a gal I used to work with who lives far north Chicago the other day who has a sister in Eagle River, Wisconsin and while I was talking in the first eagle river even sounded like a place to move. I’m sure they have one doctor in town someplace.
Good for the people in the restaurant visited by a time and their actions. It’s a little late for a thank you but it’s great that that happened. They probably were nice at the time the war ended. Anyway,
BL you are correct grade observations and I cannot imagine you would chance driving down or falling down the side of a mountain in your car hit by a rock slides or even the idiots. That drive through the railroad crossings with the gates are down takes all kinds

Lenny with a sad day for you, helping Shannon pack up to move away and how exciting for her to start a new journey in her life. Hugs to you both.


As I agree with Tesk about LGN and her medical condition, praying all goes well, and nothing happens to force an unscheduled return to Boston. I’m thinking LGN will grow up to be some form of medical person working in a hospital as she seems to get along  there very well and has a good understanding of what all this is about, she will be a welcome  addition
to the Medical world


Whie everyone was posting I made a sub note on my post earlier post saying egg number two has been laid at six WFLF f23 is very fast and I’m wondering when she’s going to stop laying eggs and 15 is going to be a busy fisherman,

I got an update on LGN a little while ago. She has come down with cold, cough, and fever. There's a good possibility she won't come home tomorrow. If her fever hits 100.4, she stays. That's always been a required hospitalization threshhold for her (due to the chance of infection leading to sepsis because of her CVC). It's 100 now (as of an hour ago). Fingers crossed.


((Karen)), thanks for your work in countries of combat, and other areas experiencing disaster or extreme need.  :-* So nice of your neighborhood walker to help with getting the trash on the street, even though you didn't have on a VN or WWII hat.  ;) :)  Thanks for the updated news, and YAYAY for 2nd egg laid at SWFL nest! (((F23 & The Mighty M)))  :)  Talons crossed for a successful nesting season for them!  :-* :-*

BL, I agree with what you said. But I needed to clear up a misrepresentation of my words. Looks like that has been taken care of.

Puff, thanks for the update.

TSK, so nice for Barb and Tom!! Re. LGN's lab improvements... changes to mitigate the effects of a suspected cause have led to the improved labs. I haven't put all the detail in my posts. I'm glad it's helping. And, regarding the question about if it happens again - the answer is, she would require being hospitalized again for more treatment. The issue was found by accident while screening for other things while she was at her specialty clinic for a regular appointment. It was just a stroke of good luck that she was already at the Number 1 Childrens Hosptial in the country when the problem was discovered, and so she got immediate excellent care, especially since that hospital has the premier specialty clinic and team of docs who treat her rare disorder. Family were all glad for that! I don't like thinking about if she had had to be treated for that issue at a different hospital closer to home. That didn't happen, thankfully, and I'm not thinking further about it... and hoping it won't happen. Not saying more about that right now. Thank you, and all, for your kind and caring thoughts and prayers sent for her and her family. HUGS!  :-* :-*

Lisa, I guess your niece finally got her move-in date. I must have missed that. Yay! Smooth travels!! :)

Tig, welcome home.

Phyl, get to the chow. LOL.  ;) :D What's "H/H" ??

Baz, it's amazing how quickly Lil ones can catch a cold...I'm sorry she may not be able go home tomorrow. Prayers she feels better in the morning.

Tsk, glad to hear Tim is feeling better... awesome act of kindness towards Tom and Barb.

Lisa, thanks for posting Karen's fb post... I can't believe there wasn't a few more serious injuries.. stupid people. When I'm not so tired I'll share what happened on one of Mike's asphalt/milling jobs in the 80s.

Clynn, Love your fall posts... I hope Becky and Jennifer arrived home safely... who is going to stay with your mom for Thanksgiving... sweet Sears and Roebuck home.

Phyl, thanks for Veterans Day facts and history of cats.... Hugs, sleep well tonight.  and take care.

Lani   baz  Thanks for the pic.  Watched it the better part of the time from 2-6.  Then I got a call from a client that needed some recap on their trip for Thanksgiving time.  Dang, missed the unveiling.  Let me go there now. 

Mornin' all.  Have a good one.  Enjoy.

baz, dang, the dreaded hospital cold. I hope Lil' Punkin's temp went down from 100 so she can go home! Thanks for the article on the walking pad, I hesitate to go strictly by the online reviews, can't be sure they are real.

Phyl, great article on cats in the Navy

Lisa, you are on your way to Alabama by now, hope you are keeping your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel while being careful! Safe travels!

Sad news from Sydney Sea Eagle Cam...  November 12: We are sad to report that our younger juvenile SE34 has been euthanased. She received loving care after being found far from home, (see the attached photo) but after further veterinary assessment her future was not deemed possible. Severe eye  problems and lack of vision in one eye meant she was virtually blind and would probably be in pain. Life is hard for newly fledged raptors.  Unfortunately the other juvenile has also been found injured and is in care for further assessment. We are waiting for further information on SE33’s condition and future  now and shall keep our followers informed. Life is difficult for juvenile Sea-eagles, particularly in the city. But we shall keep watching and monitoring their progress in the future.

https://achilleagway.com/catalog/product/117325/bayer-advanced-2-in-1-insect-control-plus-fertilizer-spikes

Ugg so frustrated. For 4 years I used the above product before bringing inside the house my tropical plants I put outside in the summer. No fungus gnats in the house for 4 years. Now, my state has banned it...imho an over reach. Since the chemical banned  supposedly may impair pollinators. Well, I don't harvest pollinators inside my house and put the sticks in the pots inside only.

Now we have a gnat of some kind infiltrating the house as the product above could not be delivered.

Have been studying the difference between drain flies, fruit flies, and fungus gnats. These are hard. Don't think they are drain flies or fruit flies..my kitchen is clean and my drains have been cleaned.

anyway, they don't bother me that much but my son hates insects..typical fruit flies and such will disappear within a month. But, this has been going on too long. I brought my plants inside I believe in September.

My search will continue for any of the 3 above and have ordered mosquitoe bits from amazon for my plants as an alternative and have also e mailed Bayer for their own recommendation given their product can't be delivered here.

Kia ora koutou (hello everyone) from Ranger Sharyn Broni

Royalcam Season 10

Season 10 of Royalcam will be a big milestone for us. We are keeping likely pairs under wrap and will share the activities of past Royalcam pairs once the cam is at its new location. This will happen once egg laying has finished to ensure no nesting toroa are disturbed at this very sensitive time. We also want to include all options in our final decision of the new location.

Egg laying continues throughout November and both parents take turns to incubate the egg while the other forages off the coast of Aotearoa/New Zealand.

A toroa parent prepares to settle on their new egg.

You can see three nests in this pic, two occupied and with egg.

Lani, I think the gremlins have been switching things around in tsk's birthday/anniversary list! And we, like sheep follow along! LOLOL! Oh well, better to get more good wishes than to get none! Mom will spend Thanksgiving with her sister, my Aunt Linda, and her family. She used to switch between Linda and June, but now that Aunt June is gone she will be at Linda's. We don't feel we can do both Thanksgiving and Christmas, we need to be with Erin's family for one holiday and Mom would rather have us for Christmas! And now I see we have 2 Alby eggs!

Puff, you would love to see Ed's collection of jewelry! I have never been such a jewelry person - a simple gold chain necklace with a cat on it, small gold stud earrings and a gold wedding band on one hand and a gold garnet ring on the other. His sister Peggy loved looking through his jewelry!

Phyl, beautiful Larch trees in the 365, and such cute, tiny pinecones! Beautiful scenery! Becky and Jennifer made it home last night, all is well. Molly and Lucy very glad to be back home! Great shot at the Flyway!

Lori, great Birthday for Mike, you captured everything!

Escalante River, Coyote Gulch, Scorpion Flats, Utah The Escalante River is a tributary of the Colorado River. It is formed by the confluence of Upper Valley and Birch Creeks near the town of Escalante in south-central Utah, and from there flows southeast for approximately 90 mi (140 km) before joining Lake Powell.
The river was first mapped and named by Almon Thompson, a member of the 1872 Colorado River expedition led by John Wesley Powell.[1] It was named after Silvestre Vélez de Escalante, a Franciscan missionary and the first known European explorer of the region. Much of the Escalante River's course is through sinuous sandstone gorges. The river and the rugged canyons which drain into it form a key section of Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument.

I don't have the room in my garage for plants and vehicle. Will never leave vehicle outside garage as that would surely invite a break in where I live.

Happy Day, Beakers!

Clynn, that's sad news about the Sydney Sea Eagle juvies. Tough history at that nest.  :( :-*  Glad Becky and Jennifer and their fuzzies are home safe and sound.

TSK, what in the world about The Owl Pole!?!?!?  I wonder who made that big mistake, and why - and when it will go back up?!?!? Fingers crossed!!  P.S. I will visit you at the home, and send reports back to Tim and Lulu.  ;D ;D ;)

Lani, you might have to start a savings account for next year's Cozies!!  ;) ;) :D  Their pricing will make them that much more of a special treat, for sure!  Hope Mike has a happy game night for his birthday!  :)  Aww, eggs already at the Alby nests!!  :-* :-*  Guess we will have to stay in suspense on the Couples Cam Reveal later on.  ;) :D

Lisa, I hope your trip is going smoothly!


I'm behind schedule today! I went out this morning for a quick - quick! - hello to my neighbor who was walking her chihuahua, Penny Sue (LOL! Penny Sue is a real hoot!), and that turned into a 45 minute BIG deal, including chasing down her Maine Coon cat, Lily, who escaped, because my neighbor did not close the door behind her when she took Penny Sue out for her morning constitutional! Oh, did I mention that Lily can't be touched or picked up... unless you have heavy bandages on standby - and the wounds will come from her giant claws, and her canines!!  :o :o ::) A gorgeous cat - should be tattooed with the message, "Do Not Touch!! Do Not Even Look Like Your Hand Might Touch!!"  :o Scooting, begging, cajoling, tempting with treats, etc. were all met with failure as Lily just squatted where she wanted and glared with her swishing tail. I finally did the "Herding Cats" thing with my neighbor's Swiffer!! !! !! There sure was a great meme opportunity there for anyone with a camera phone nearby! Geez.  ::)  Penny Sue escaped through the open door while I was being watched herding cats, so I had to stop and go chase her down and return her to her home... and close the dang door, y'all!  :o This neighbor (as of 1 year ago) seems not to have a very firm handle on managing much of her day-to-day activities. Yes, she has an adult son (married with kids) living in town. I don't see him as often as I think he needs to be seen there helping. Hush my mouth. My opinion not requested.  ::)  8) Oh, and her cataract procedure is tomorrow morning. I will be taking her for that at 5:30 AM!!! And back again that afternoon for her 1:00 PM follow-up appointment!!


Waving to All the Beakers! So my morning got rearranged, and I'm late to get out for some errands, so I'm off for that now... and then maybe a walk. Sunny skies!  :)

baz, I am chuckling at the picture in my head of you chasing a huge cat with a swiffer!  LOLOL!  I have the same issue with the Vicky across the street, there is no such thing as a short conversation.  ;D Great to hear that Lil' Punkin is on her way home!

tig, oh my, that sandwich looks delish! And the gorgeous view of Lake Superior!  Looks like a well attended event according to camper's drone pic!

tsk, yes, that is Molly and Lucy in the cat carrier in the car. That is the only time they cuddle together!  No, you cannot go to the home!  We all do the same thing, I promise!  Jeanne will make you laugh!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWCRZjUGVO4   Not the Owl Pole!

Clynn - clarification.  ;D  Not Camper's drone. It was a professional's drone providing pics to the MNHS Youtube site I was watching on my cell phone. I took a screen shot of the live broadcast. Camper was taking pics at the overlook, I was safe and warm in the car a few feet away. LOL.

BAZI   Best news of the day today.  So glad to hear they will be home today.  Make sure that "dang door" is closed tomorrow when you Uber your neighbor to cataract surgery.  Can't imagine that you got Lily into the confines. What a description of her!!  Swiffer needs to pick up on another use for their product   ;D ;D

TIG   Great shots - HUGE sandwich and very yummy looking.  Love that porch scene.  Quite a lot of folks attending per drone.  Glad Mickey's found a way to stay open via the generosity of patrons.

CLYNN   They don't get any funnier than Jeanne Robertson  ;D ;D

Can't tell you how much I enjoyed that Jeanne Robertson clip, clynn  She always keeps you laughing and smiling.  What a funny performer/person.  It has to have been funny at schoolclass.

I remembered the rafting saga.  Don't recall the bat story at all.  She made a lot of ladies pee their pants I'm sure.   Good way to end the day.  Thanks!

Good Evening Beakers

I made it to the outskirts of Atlanta around 4:30pm.  The drive was not too bad, just a lil traffic on 1-285 around Atlanta.  I am heading out hopefully by 5:30am tomorrow, as Ashley can sign her lease at 1pm tomorrow. 

tsk - Thank you for the safe ride.  :-* I have a lil guardian angel metal in my car, and I like to think it is watching over me as I travel.  :)

Phyl - Thank you  :-*  So sad to hear about the Sydney eaglets!

karen - Thank you  :-*  Aww, what a nice neighbor.  Yes, he did his good deed!

tig - Glad to see you and Camper are home safe. Wow, the sandwich!

Lani - Congrats to SWFL on egg #2!  Is Shannon all moved out of her place now?  Thanks for the Royal update!

baz - We had an idea that the move-in date for niece would be 11/15, the leasing agent was just waiting on one more thing from Ashley, which she got today.  If she was not approved I was going to head back home tomorrow, but looks like I am heading the rest of the way now.   :D So happy to hear that Punkin and family on headed home. 

kb - We get lil gnats in our house this time of the year when the leaves fall of the tree and lay on the front lawn.  They look like fruit/drain flies, but they aren't.  They will drive you insane, till they go away! At least that is what they do me  ;D  I put out a mixture of apple cider vinegar with a drop of dish soap, cover the bowl with plastic and poke holes with a fork.  They are very attracted to it. 

clynn - Your jewelry sounds lovely.

Puff, oldguy, Lori - Good to see ya!

Off to bed, so I can get up early for the next leg of the trip.   :)

Clynn, beautiful autumn pics this morning.... glad to hear Beck, Jennifer, Molly and Lucy arrived home.... oh that is so sad about the Sea Eaglets.  :'( .. we've found small chunks of quartz in our area, that one is gorgeous! Awesome photo of the Escalante River in Utah. Amazing creation.... I've got tears in my eyes after watching Jeanne! LOLOLOL!! 

Phyl, thanks for nature video... love the Jayhawk cake for Mike!  ;D ... great Flyaway pic...

Kb, we get those little gnats here too... they are especially attracted to Sadie's water fountain.. Lisa has a great idea, I use the mosquito bits, vinegar spray, etc.

Lori, Love, Love, Love Mike's birthday greeting! He says thank you!  ;D

Puff, Cozy Inn is in Salina, KS, Mike's hometown... yes, he's 55+ LOL!

{{{Tsk}}} LOL! sending hugs ... gremlins have been hanging around my laptop lately too.... Last night I saw a video of Iris's pole being cut down.

Tig, beautiful drone pics... yummy sandwich!

{{{Baz}}} there was a lot going on in those 45 minutes with your neighbor. I want to laugh but I don't dare... thank God for swiffers... and be sure the door is closed when you pick up your neighbor.

Lisa, Glad all is well on the road.... Shannon's home closed today... she's staying with a girlfriend tonight, who is going to drive the packed U-Haul to Vegas. Shannon and her dog will follow in her car. She filled a movers pod and that's on the road to Vegas tomorrow too. Sleep well.

BL, two great legends.

Oldguy, Pentatonix are just so good.... I think Queen would be proud... amazing voices... beautiful version of stairway to heaven by gagaku.

Lani, so Mike went to bed last night a happy man! Birthday, Cozy Dogs, and his team won! I am shocked by the cutting down of Iris's pole! Hopefully it was cut down because it was in danger of falling and they will replace it... Prayers for Shannon and her friend for a safe trip! Her adventure has begun!

oldguy, thanks for the Pentatonix, they are amazing! And The Stairway to Heaven!  Maru's meat buns!

Lisa, Day2 of your trip, safe travels for you again today!  Kay had a constant battle with pantry moths, from old dry stuff in her pantry, like flour and rice etc.  I wonder if your organic, non-chemical concoction would have worked on them!

Sydney Sea Eagles - News from the Nest: November 13: a new visitor to the nest this morning when a Pacific Black Duck turned up and looked around for a while. Was this Daisy from last year? Around the same time one eagle was seen down on the river on the island. One eagle was at Goat Island early and seen later in the afternoon. One was seen on the river late  with a small fish as well. And to repeat the good news that SE33 has no fractures, is in reasonable condition, is a bit thin but has eaten. Given a few days to rest and recover condition, his way forward will be discussed.

Having a  nice  cloudy, breezy day with temps in the 70s!   Pretty humid this am but the breeze is nice!

Lani I am happy to learn that Shannon has a friend with her   On this  leg of  her  move.   Very exciting time for Shannon . From what I hear, Las Vegas is the place for some younger people to move to as it is growing quite a bit and has a lot of opportunities for our jobs and living. Good luck to her.  Sounds like Mike’s birthday was great and wish you many more with or without cozy burgers.
Good pictures this morning from CLYNN and others.
I have a tree man or at least a man a tree man’s list to remove three blah blah leaves from the front yard and he said all of them in the back are healthy and disease-free and do not need to be removed. That’s good as the price is outrageous for the removal, do not know when this will happen, but sooner is better than later as the top of one of the trees is getting a little bit risky
Hope everyone is enjoying the day and that baZ you’re a little greatness is doing well at home . How long is your sister staying with them? Probably getting ready to go home.
Bakers enjoy the rest of your day and have yummy food for dinner.

PHYL   Love how Amy cleverly writes those blog narratives  LOL

LANI   Didn't realize TRR had a sloth adoption program.

Looking for a new Xmas tree this year - "for old people"  LOL  Our current one 7.5' - we've had  maybe 6 or 7 years is in 4 pieces and getting to be too much lugging up the basement stairs.  Also not prelit.   So we found a 6.5' tree prelit with colored lights and on a preseason sale!  Checked out another place on the way home and decided to go back tomorrow and buy it.  - Only in 3 pieces and each section can be tested ahead of putting it together.  Each light can be replaced individually if out and store will fix a section if ever to be found faulty.

Hellgate Osprey Cam update

Hi everyone,
Some of you have noticed that the "owl pole" where Finnegan and Iris liked to eat some of their fish disappeared yesterday!!  This was a shock and surprise to us - we had no idea this was coming. 
The crossbars on those power poles have indeed been important in the lives of Iris, her mates and chicks.  She nested on the crossbars for at least 10 years.  This was dangerous, since those were high-voltage powerlines.  She is lucky that she was not electrocuted.
Since this was a dangerous nesting spot, in November 2007 NorthWestern Energy, along with generous help from Kate Davis (of Raptors of the Rockies) and Karen Wagner and her family, put up the current nest pole and platform.  Iris has been nesting in this much safer place since then. 
But the Ospreys really liked to have their fish picnics on the higher, right-hand pole.  We have a second camera on the side of Missoula College that was specifically dedicated to filming this feeding perch.
So what happened?  The good news is that NorthWestern Energy has embarked on a project to remove some above-ground transmission lines and bury them.  This gets rid of some unsightly tangles of powerlines, but also makes the environment safer for raptors and other birds by removing dangerous electrical lines.
I have been talking with folks at NorthWestern Energy, and they are excited to install another tall pole (minus the power lines!) in the same spot.  We will be meeting at the site on Thursday, 14 November 2024 to discuss the pole and where to put it.  So the good news is that we should have a nice new feeding perch for next season.
Best, Erick Greene and the Montana Osprey Team

On a snowy November day in 2007, a crew from NorthWestern Energy attach the nesting platform to the top of a pole. You can see the large lag bolts that stick up through the platform. The ospreys weave their nest sticks around these. These help stabilize the nest, and keep the nest from blowing off in 100 mph winds like we had last summer!! Photo: Kate Davis

Happy Day, Beakers!

I was up at 4:45 AM this morning, and got my neighbor to her cataract procedure by 6 AM. I am not a morning person. LOL. No 4-legged escapees from her place with the coming and going. She treated me to breakfast out on our way home, which was nice of her. I was going to take her back this afternoon for her follow-up appt, but her son picked up her granddaughter from daycare and then took my neighbor to her afternoon eye doc appt, so that was good she could also get in a visit with her granddaughter. I talked to her a few minutes ago, and she said she got a great report at her follow-up appt, and she noticed she could already see lots better in that eye. She will get the other eye done in December.

My LGN and her parents all got home from Boston safely yesterday. LGN didn't have any fever when they left the hospital, and felt fine, but had an awful cough. She stayed home from school today, but will return to school tomorrow. My Lil Sis said she probably will drive home Saturday... maybe. She's staying at least till then because her daughter (LGN's mom) has a birthday Friday, and she and her husband are going for a Spa Day together for her birthday on Friday. She's turning 39. !! !! LOL. I'm not sure how that happens. Wasn't she just a lanky-legged teen yesterday?  ;)  :-* :-*

Lani, that's great news about Hellgate pole planning! But what a way to make the whole Hellgate Osprey Cam World, and Dr. Greene, go into shock and GASP! by doing that without a heads-up!  Shannon closed on her house! Does that mean she sold her house, or did she close on a new house? Congrats, and good wishes to her in her new chapter Vegas way! Glad Mike had a great birthday - dinner and game! Oh, it's fine for you to laugh at all that went down yesterday morning across The Asphalt Way! Really!! I was!! It was like being in the midst of a 3-ring circus. All I needed to complete the picture was to be sitting atop a unicycle, with a pole and a stack of teacups balanced on my upturned chin, while spinning rings around both of my outstretched arms.  ;D :o ;D

Clynn, oh that sounds like a possible better-than-expected outcome for one of the Sydney Sea Eaglets. Talons crossed!!  :-*

Lisa, hope you had a good travel day! Looked like some severe weather, or at least a buttload of rain, is possible in that whole south LA/south AL area today. I hope maybe you beat the front! Or at least most of it! Congrats on your niece getting her final approval and getting the lease signed! Careful with your back! And hand! Supervision duties only for you!! LOL. Take care, and have a safe trip and fun time catching up with family and friends.


I gotta run! Later Beakers! Waving to All Y'all!!  ;) :D

Puff, Cozy burgers are the size of a White Castle, and yes, Mike had 4. They arrive frozen for us....Mike's family has lived in Kansas since the civil war....  Here is a link to the history of the Cozy Inn burger. http://www.kansastravel.org/cozyinn.htm

Clynn, Shannon and her dog arrived safely in Vegas. They were in their new leased home by mid-afternoon. They emptied the U-Haul and the pod will arrive Friday... I'm so glad SE33is going to be okay, just a few more days of good food and rest... Thank you for the reminder  :-*

Tsk, Shannon and her dog arrived to Vegas by mid-afternoon.... Mike gave Shannon several of his miles for a plane ticket back to AZ for her friend.... we bought a pre-lit 7 foot tree, that comes in 3 sections that I can put together myself. You'll love it!

Karen, glad your trees in the back are healthy... Thanks for your comments about Shannon  :-*

Phyl, peaceful nature video, again, I would like to go clamming.... thank you for RRP update.

Baz, so glad there wasn't a 4-legged escapee this morning for you... happy to hear all went well for your neighbor... Spa Day for your niece and with her hubby is just what she needs.  ;D.. prayers for your LGN.... Shannon closed on her old home on Tuesday. She's leasing new home in Vegas...

Good night!

Thanks for the total Scoop on Cozy Burgers Lani.  Small enterprise that turned big, then went back/stayed back to small.  Tiny grill is the game changer?  Same slogan as White Castle ???  Can that be OK?

Makes me want to take a ride to KA.  BUT - Reminded me an IL/CO drive in my brothers yellow Buick - I have never ever again ever been in the beetle invasion they have.  Not even sure what kind of bug it was - but they coated everything.  The gas/potty stop was so disgustingly crunchy and slimy  Uggggggggh memory to this day.  Windshield impossible - and that was before auto window washing.   Used an ice scraper at many road stops.  Plus - it was summer hot Kansas dry, hot but we couldn't open the windows.

Obviously trip made a lasting memory.

Lani, the Cozy Inn burger saga is much like the Cozy Dog Drive In in Springfield, IL!   https://drloihjournal.blogspot.com/2017/03/cozy-dog-drive-in-2935-south-6th-street.html    Glad to hear that Shannon and Kona (did I remember that right?) arrived safely!  A brand new start for her!  Mike had a good birthday, with cozy burgers, a win for the Jay Hawks...and his lovely wife with him!  Thanks for the news on the owl pole, I had a feeling that once the city found out how important the pole is to the ospreys that they would quickly get a replacement put in! Yay! Thanks for the history on Iris' nest in Hellgate Canyon!  Very interesting, that nest on the power line looks scary, glad its gone! Love all the pictures!

Puff, sometimes memories just pop into our heads...

baz, I am sure your Lil Sis doesn't mind a few more days with the family, I bet she has had a good time with Lil' Bro! Hope Lil' Punkin gets over that cough quickly! Where oh where does the time go? It's nearly 2025 and it seems like last week that we were all worried about the year 2000!

tsk, I traded our big hard-to-put-together tree for a slim tree in 3 pieces 3 or 4 years ago, I can put it together easily! Pre-lit and a program of color-changing that is beautiful! It cost a little more but well worth it!  How is Tim doing? I was also picturing baz on the unicycle!

Lisa, hoping you are having a great time!

Phyl, waiting for you this morning, we usually are posting around the same time!  It used to be tsk and I at the same time but I think she sleeps a little later these days!

Half of all U.S. states, 25 to be exact, carry Native American names. Today we will be taking a look at the 25 states and the meanings of their names. They will be listed in alphabetical order.
1. Alabama: Named after the Alabama, or Alibamu tribe, a Muskogean-speaking tribe. Sources are split between the meanings 'clearers of the thicket' or 'herb gatherers'.
2. Alaska: Named after the Aleut word "alaxsxaq", which means "the mainland"
3. Arizona: Named after the O'odham word "alĭ ṣonak", meaning "small spring"
4. Connecticut: Named after the Mohican word "quonehtacut", meaning "place of long tidal river"
5. Hawaii: Is an original word in the Hawaiian language meaning "homeland"
6. Illinois: Named after the Illinois word "illiniwek", meaning "men"
7. Iowa: Named after the Ioway tribe, whose name means "gray snow"
8. Kansas: Named after the Kansa tribe, whose name means "south wind people"
9. Kentucky: Origins are unclear, it may have been named after the Iroquoian word "Kentake", meaning "on the meadow"
10. Massachusetts: Named after the Algonquin word "Massadchu-es-et," meaning "great-hill-small-place,”
11. Michigan: From the Chippewa word "Michigama", meaning "large lake"
12. Minnesota: Named after the Dakota Indian word “Minisota” meaning “white water.”
13. Mississippi: Named after the river which was named by the Choctaw, meaning “Great water” or “Father of Waters.”
14. Missouri: Named after the Missouri tribe whose name means "those who have dugout canoes"

PUFF   That was SOME memory you had  - ride to KA.  I cringe with your description!

I feel like I need about 10 cups of coffee this morning.  I think all the driving, and running around so far has caught up with me.  I had a headache this morning and there is lots to do today.  The movers are coming before noon to move niece's stuff.

clynn - Pretty morning pics.  I am having a nice time, just lots to do here for niece. 

Puff - Morning  :)

Lani - Glad to hear that Shannon and pup arrived safely in Vegas.  How nice of Mike to give his airline miles to her friend back to AZ.  Thanks for the Hellgate update. 

baz - How nice of you to get up early and take your neighbor, and very nice of her to treat you to breakfast.  The drive was good from GA to AL, no rain.  Later last evening around 5pm, it started to sprinkle, but no major rain.

tsk - Thank you.  That sounds like a great find on the Christmas tree, especially the store fixing a section if ever found faulty. 

karen - I did find it humid yesterday morning on my drive, but it turned out breezy in the afternoon.  I had a shrimp po-boy for lunch.  It was delicious.   :D

Here's two more state names to add to the list:

 The name of the sixteenth state, Tennessee  has roots steeped in Cherokee history.  And " The name of the state of Tennessee comes from the Cherokee word Tanasi, which may mean "where the waters meet" or "gathering place". The Cherokee capital of Tanasi was located in what is now Vonore, Tennessee. The city was destroyed by the Tellico Dam in 1989, and a monument was erected to commemorate its former existence.

And my birth and childhood state, California.  The name "California" derives from a 16th Century romance novel.
How did the name of this mythical island become the name of the 31st state of the union? Spanish explorers during the 1500s were familiar with the story and applied the name to what is now called Baja, or lower California.

I grew up simply knowing the word 'Californa'  was Spanish for 'land of the oven's heat'.    Of which it is so aptly named.

Beakers: Pest control guy came and went.

they are phorid flies...In 20 minutes I can let Ollie out of his kennel.

He said they've never had so many calls for this gnat like critter...an urban problem.

He also said: You don't even want to know what comes home with you from your grocery store/market.
I'm happy to have obliged and not further interrogated him about this!

Of course we tried everything organic first everything...the only slight improvement came from an ultraviolet lit sticky tape contraption off of amazon....but he treated any likely sources around the inside of my house.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this year's indoor pest problem here.

I searched and searched but couldn't find the rest of that list.  However, I found the full list and you are absolutely right about Tennessee and California and there are 9 others!  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_place_names_of_Native_American_origin_in_the_United_States

Good Morning Lani!

Another beautiful 365, love the sounds of the ocean and the birds...  Love your morning pictures, there are so many beautiful Autumn pictures out there!  And what pretty cakes! I would hate to cut into either of them!

tsk, 98% is good! So when are you going to put the new tree up? Always the weekend after Thanksgiving for us but I may do it a few days before this year so it can be up when the kids are here at Thanksgiving. I stored it in the garage after last year, instead of downstairs in the basement so it will be easier to get out!

71 with 73% humidity levels today!  Lisa, humidity seems to drop as the day goes on!   Take it easy and keep saying, Supervise!

Beautiful fall wreath!   Sparkling and colorful fruit!    Glad Tim is about  100%!   He will get there!   He has great help !   Love the sound of your tree!    I donated my large, prelit tree to a charity sale years  ago as it was too heavy  for me to move in and out!   I have two small trees, one 2 -3 feet tall that I put. Out on the front  porch . Was pre lit with white lights which stopped working and fuses did not fix the problem . Last year I replaced them with colored lights and I love this old fashioned look!   I have a lot of Christmas  glass fruit ornaments  that I put out in bowls.
Really too hot to  think about it!
Baz, a very good Samaritan!
LANi , I am happy to hear that Shannon is settled if even just temporarily. She can get to know the town better and find out where she really wants to settle. In the meantime she and the puppy have a home does she have friends in Vegas who can help her learn about the different areas of town or will she wait to settle in until she finds permanent employment and then try to move closer to the job Nice of Mike to gift the FF miles . I have given many of my miles to Mickey when she has come here I really don’t have any use for them at this time.
Wonderful news about  Helgate and the  owl pole!   Interesting pictures  of old nests.   
Doing all my bedding today and waiting for the help to arrive!    My house suddenly seems dirty and Piper cannot tell me why!
Phyl,  lovers heat or heart?

Interesting about state names!  I believe Chicago is from a will d onion that grew in the area.

Until some sort of appreciable precipitation falls.

This is one place that is very close to and very special to my heart.

Google screen just told me at signin that today is "remember the kayak" day.  Another fun memory. . .

I mentioned before about our instructional "fam" trips as training/knowledge for travel advisors (familiarization).  Had to travel through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island (PEI), St. John.

The itinerary included "kayaking on the Atlantic".  Say what??  That's what it said, that's what we did.  Thanks be to God the water was calm and kayak was steady - I was neither.  Brought back to "commune" fresh crabs that were cooked on a veranda in a huge tub.  Buttery juice smelling up the entire area and running down our arms.  Tales of the land told by resident free-spirits.

I always remember a couple things:  Kayak tipping me out into the cool waters, scratching a memento into my ankle; the Bay of Fundy; fam group met to watch the procession etc. in England of the services for Princess Diana.  Observing that with British subjects was quite emotional and enlightening.

tsk That fam would take up an entire chapter in the book you always mention.   ::)

Puff, you and your memories remind me of my Mom... She is trying to write a journal of our family's life while she can still remember. And she has a memory like an elephant, still! All of us girls were born in NM, we lived in Germany and England, Arizona, Minnesota and Dad spent a year in Viet Nam while we all stayed in Illinois.  Lots of trips from the Southwest to Illinois in the summers. We settled in Illinois after he retired.  Get busy with that book!

Lani, awww, that sweet puppy fell asleep reading his book...

BL, prayers for Jennings Creek and other places that are special you and Pip and Kopje. Prayers for the firefighters, hope they can get the job done quickly.

baz, you must have dropped your swiffer in that pic!  I have chased a cat with a swiffer, but the cat kind of liked it!

Lisa, hope things are going well, I know you are eating well!

Not really Tsk - Attended the ceremony virtually on a telly in the dance parlor of a B&B castle in Canada.  Yes a B&B Castle.  Darn memory, I wish I could remember the name of the castle.

What I remember of the castle . . .Road zigzagged up a hill, turrets, beautiful grounds, and a room that was at the end of a maze of a journey thru halls, up stairs, and around the bend, into a suite of a room; needed a guide.  Humungass four-poster bed, draped in white sheer - impossibly high for me to get into.  And this was when I was still 5'3".  Steps were brought in for me.  Slept like a princess that night.

And, not that the US doesn't have B&B's like the rest of the world, but it's an art form up in Canada.  There is an unwritten/mandatory contest between them.  Both the environs and the food service.  Roomy and so well put together.  I'd like to say I've seen better, but the area is not to be less than the best.  And, the Canadians know it and are proud of their offerings.  Of note to me, because I make and gift mine, is the display and use of afghans.

P


Got a whole lot of inside knowledge, names, and information.  It's my job - and my joy.

Puff - Went to a Kiwanis chili supper fundraiser this week.  Sat a table with a retired couple and their son and DIL.  They had just returned from a long voyage.  It was on a Viking line ship that started at Duluth, continued to the Panama canal, then down to Chile, back up the coast to California where they got off at San Diego.  The ship continued to the arctic circle.  They said that the ship held about 300 passengers and that 9 couples did the entire trip.  It was a nature educational theme trip with many shore stops to experience/see the different nature present.

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: Puff on November 15, 2024, 09:28:06 AM

They're called expedition cruises.  Usually extended, and therefore weeks = $$.  Just as a sample Viking does the top to bottom of Mississippi river, 2 weeks, $6,000.  Can either do northern half or southern half for 1/2 the cost, one week.  Just added to my bucket is their 28-day Alaska (Anchorage - North to Barrow) Makes port in 24 ports; on shore stops are points of action and interest.  I can dream can't I?

The two companies who started the recent boom ideas of extended expeditions are Atlas and Viking; traveling to the Arctic and the Antarctic in newly built designated explorer craft (I think of floating labs).
Great reports from psgrs!  Then there's also the Natl Geographic and HX ships.  Started years back.  Needed the spur of competition to up their product and ships.   

Now there's more competition for expeditions in Asia, So. America, the Pacific, and Europe.

Lani, oh those darn owls at SWFL! I wish they could do something to entice them to move somewhere else! How nice for Shannon that she has friends in Las Vegas! Hope she can get her Real Estate license quickly Awww, big change for Kona...  Sweet puppy!

baz, hope you got a good rest last night!

oldguy, I didn't know there were cruises that covered all that ground! I would love even a short one on the Columbia river!

tsk, I don't know if I could stay on a ship for a 4 month trip!  Wow! Your tree is probably very pretty with just the lights on. I have even had thoughts of just leaving mine with lights, but for the last couple of years I have decorated with red apples and bows only, and I love the look of it!

Phyl, Angkor Wat is amazing, would love to see the inside! Video from FB for you:  https://www.facebook.com/reel/1247385759739740

Raptor Resource Project - Did you see? The North Nest looks so cozy that I want to take a nap just looking at it! Eagles use the materials on hand - on wing? - for nest construction, but I'm glad this Nest Depot is well stocked with corn husks!

News from the Nest November 16: early morning eagles were seen at Goat Island. Then no reports until at 3:40 one arrived at Mangrove Island, Shortly after it caught a small fish, then back to the island to eat. At 5pm, just one still seen there. SE33 is resting and recovering – gaining strength.

‘A Cat‘.

By Edward Thomas

She had a name among the children;
But no one loved though someone owned
Her, locked her out of doors at bedtime
And had her kittens duly drowned.

In Spring, nevertheless, this cat
Ate blackbirds, thrushes, nightingales,
And birds of bright voice and plume and flight,
As well as scraps from neighbours’ pails …

I want this job!

Phyl - Indeed. I have had enough "Whews" this month...

My maple is maybe 50 percent down...hopefully soon enough for one last mow and rake off the grass before putting away for the winter and swapping the placement of mower/snowblower inside garage.

Most of my shrubs still have not dropped all or most of their leaves yet..no big deal as they don't drop on the grass.

This smokebush of mine in the back yard is unusually colorful as she gets ready to drop this year.
Picture doesn't do her color justice.

We have spent the last two days pruning... service berries, iris, lavender, hydrangea (blooms too big to survive snowfall). Today will be the mowing. And a good drink of water for the trees tomorrow.

We picked up our Christmas cards yesterday and then visited: https://wellsroadside.com/
A fun place. It was nearby.

CLYNN   Love the upside down kitty  ;D    Tim had the tree lights on last night and really liked it but I have so many ornaments I love and I will need to purge them again this year even more than usual as I have 1 foot less to decorate.  :o   I hate to part with my ornaments.   Barb did something simple like that with her tree - bows etc.  She only has it up a couple weeks before leaving again for Florida.       SWFL  Would you look at all those corn husks  LOL

PHYL  That Savannah cat is gorgeous.

KB   You take 1/2 day and I'll take the other half on that Job  :) ;) ;D

LANI   Like the lion gif  ;D

TIG   Cute place to have lunch  ;D

Had a new 2 step front porch installed yesterday.  The first step has had a horizontal crack in it for a couple years.  So in redoing it we had them deepen the first step and is now safer for us old people to go up and down.  Of course in the process they damaged a cute gold mop cypress shrub . Dang - think half of it is gone.  >:(   Going out now to survey the damage.  Had I know that might happen I would have taken precautions.  Dang!

tsk - I think they owe you a new gold mop cypress shrub....whether you took care or not, I think they should have known..

Oh, I dunno about sharing that job with you...I'll think about it ;) ;)

I was planning on picking up some maple leaves off my garden once again today, but it's so windy I'll wait now till another day..she might be down by tonight!

It's a pain to use a rake/blower to move the large leaves into piles to then rake up best I can without mulch and throw into a large round leaf holder..
But, I enjoy her so much I can't complain.

Well, it's been a busy, long, hard week for all of us outdoor doers.  The final outside just left.  Fellow came to open, drain the water and air, and open the sprinkling system.  This week I also had gutters cleaned, grass cut, outside windows washed, niece's husband and son helped yard clearing of plants, hose, table/chairs covered, moved "stuff" to patio to cover over with tarp, brought in begonias to garage to be saved for next year, set up heated water bowl for birds (have to drain and cover fountain yet).  And. . . until leaves are all down or mostly down, there are two more trips scheduled to clean up the yard of leaves.

Next week a new set of projects - I mentioned?  I have hired some help. . .Instead of taking down it's putting up.  Tuesday it's take down the fall and Thanksgiving "stuff" and take out/put up the Christmas "stuff".  Help for outside displays and lights and inside tree and lights.  I'll handle all my precious "stuff" myself too, tsk. 

I smiled a big grin for your tale too, tsk.  Maybe Wednesday or Thursday night I woke up thinking of my special, precious ornaments.  (I know I mentioned too that Tony knew keep your hands off - I'll do my ornaments thank you.)  Many tears and big smiles go with each and every one.  My niece Michelle does stop by to hang the big wreaths, the sparkly white snow flake against the black velvet drapes, and take down the valuable "stuff" from the high shelves.  Inside "stuff" starts Tuesday.       And just for added interest I have 3 work related meetings this week, too.   :-\

I almost forgot - Upside down kitty was so cute!  Thanks all for your Caturday "fix".

I would love to see Angkor Wat. I remember my good friend, who I visit in Atlanta on occasion, got to see it on a trip, and also part of the massive life-sized Terracotta Army in China - soldiers, horses, and chariots - over 8,000 of them, and no 2 are alike. Not all of them were available to the public/tourists, I think I remember, due to needing to protect them from environmental exposure, and also because a lot of it is still being excavated. She and her sister have taken several of the National Geographic trips. Lucky them! $$$$ !! My niece and her husband got to visit Angkor Wat on one of their trips before my LGN and Baby Bro were born.

China's Terracotta Army is a UNESCO World Heritage Site:

(Be sure to see the video at the top - above the title of the article!)



Clynn, thanks for that great cam shot of the North Nest with all the corn husks! Glad to see the Sydney Sea Eagle parents are around and okay, and that SE33 is recovering, fingers crossed.  :-*

Lisa, I hope all is coming along well in Mobile!

TSK, oh no, your shrub got sacrificed in your front porch re-do! Yep, they should reimburse you for a replacement!

Lani, I just gave out last night, like you did the night before! I slept a good 6 hours, so I'm re-energized a bit today. I am heading out for a walk soon. Sunny blue skies here today! Sounds like Shannon's move has been going well. Glad she found a place to lease and Kona is happily sacked out after the trip.  :) :-*  I have my DVR set to record the Chiefs game tomorrow, just in case, but I'm planning on watching it live, or at least most of it. I have my snacks in store for it! LOL. Wish I had some of Mike's Cozy Burgers though!  :D

Karen, do you and Piper have any Thanksgiving plans yet? Zippo and I will be home. I've decided to do a pork roast instead of turkey, and will put lots of onions in the pan with it. I'll make some form of sweet potatoes - one of Zip's favs! So she will get some plain cooked sweet potato. But I have to have dressing and gravy, so I will make some of that. And an Apple Caramel pie, which is tempting me in the freezer! LOL, but I'm saving it for T'Day!  ;)

KB, that Maple is gorgeous! Good year for your Smoke Bush.

BL, sounds like you and Pip helped out the fire crews - and Kopje was ready and willing! I hope those fires in the Northeast will get a good dousing of rain before long. So many of them. I saw about that one fire that has been burning underground since this past June.

Oldguy - that was some trip those people took!

Phyl, did you get your front-porch shrubs in the planter yet? What kind of shrub do you usually like to put in that? Do you light or decorate them for Christmas?

Puff, whoa! That's a lot! You are organized, and it's going to look great!

Tig, that's a lot of yard work! Davis Cup Final 8 2024 play in Malaga, Spain starts Tuesday, on the Tennis Channel. I will try to watch Rafa play - my boyfriend will retire afterward... boo hoo...

PUFF   Glad to hear you've hired some help.  Keeping up your home when the two of you were there was hard enough.  You have a busy - fun - week coming up.  I like not having Thanksgiving this year as I can do just a little bit each day to get Xmas up and not get exhausted.   I did buy a turkey breast and will have Tim's Uncle Jim over to join us on turkey day.

BAZI   Wow your niece got to see Angkor Wat.  Very cool.    I've never seen pictures of the life like clay figures.  Now that I could walk on the new porch I got a better look at my gold floppy cyprus as I got closer.  Ground branches were smashed down but not broken so I got out a couple of my plant supports and staked the downed limbs straight.  We shall see if it makes it this winter.

No tree up yet. I pretty much  follow Roman Catholic traditions, feast days and all that.  All my decorations   are family heirlooms or vintage European. I usually have Americana on the front porch. But, no tell'n what I'll do on the porch this year. 
 I always keep evergreen shrubs  may be a Japanese Holly 2'  in the wicker planter. And, keep them dwarfed

Got inspired by a submitted snap on Pinterest the other day.. this afternoon...I pulled up the bath carpet in master bath  and pulled up carpet tape then used 'Goo Be Gone on the residue . Cleaned base boards, mopped  and rinsed the floor with diluted bleach to brighten it up a bit. then I hand dried it to speed up the process. Now all's left is replacing some tired old doors and drawers  Don't know how I'll fly that part by Jim. I'll figure it out---always do.

Good Morning Beakers!

Phyl, you were a busy beaver yesterday! Hope you are getting a good rest now! Love the picture of the Norths in Amy's Blog and wow, a lot of calendars to choose from for next year! Very clever leaf and pinecone birds! Love the kitten asleep on the food dish!  And that toilet paper at shame! Harley's favorite! Did you get a chance to watch the bluebird FB video?

Lisa, yay, you are home and safe! Those long road trips can wear you out for sure. Always so good to be back home...

Lani, glad the Jayhawks won again last night, Mike is happy!  I think Mike with his Cozy Burgers is the good luck charm! We will have the kids here for a late Thanksgiving, they have the main meal with Sydney's family. Last year I took as many shortcuts as I could, like Bob Evans mashed potatoes, candied yams in a can, with some marshmallows added, Heinz gravy. May do that again, at least on the mashed potatoes!

tsk, that sounds wonderful, to decorate the tree a little each day... I think I am going to have Erin bring the tree in from the garage when he is here today, then I can do as you are doing!  A little every day!

baz, that terracotta army is incredible! Glad to hear you got your walk in. I am trying to decide between 2 walking pads, and hoping for a Black Friday special!

PHYL    Family Xmas picture  LOL  Big bathroom project.  Lots of hands and knees work.  :o   So is there tile under the carpet?   Aww  sweet kitty pooped out in food dish.  Clever bird leaves and pine cones.

LANI   That is a BIG first.  How will you do the meal?  I just bought a small turkey breast.  Maybe Tim can find some turkey legs for me to roast.  He loves them.

LISA    WOW  A whirlwind trip.  How do you feel about the move?  Think she can handle it?

CLYNN  Pretty leaf rainbow  :)  When I used to have a big crowd  I would get the mashed potatoes done early and then you put them in the crockpot on low and put waxed paper on top.  No fuss at the end.  But like you, I am cheating with the mashed potatoes this year.  ::)  Actually it's my house decorations I do gradually.  The tree I can do in a couple hours.  I usually have a Hallmark movie on while that is being done  LOL

clynn  Fond memories of Oak Creek Canyon and Slide Rock State Park.  Always recommend 89A in that area for the drive.  Beautiful surprise hideaway.

Just for the record - When the family was over 20 I did big holidays.  Nowadays it's a rock cornish hen, sage dressing, and pumpkin pie.

Traveling around like I do/did I'll always opine that there's nothing better anywhere, for so many reasons.  I'm so Thankful.

Phyl - Thank you.  It is good to be home.  Bandit and Misty were both glad to see me.   :)
Love the pine cone animals. Thanks for RRP post. 

clynn - That is the truth...I don't think it hit me how tired I was, till I was walking around Walmart this morning.  Love the colorful leaves.

tsk - The new place is really nice, and a two-bedroom, which shocked both of us.  That second bedroom did give her a chance to get rid of her storage, where she was putting excess clothes and stuff.  By not having the storage to pay for, that will give her a few extra dollars each month.  I hope she can handle it.  :-\  How are you and Tim?   

Puff - That sounds like a wonderful meal.  I think I have only ever ate a Cornish hen once in my life.

Lani - Hope Shannon is all settled in Vegas.  How are you and Mike?   

karen - I thought about you when I was sitting in that Atlantia traffic heading there and back, thinking...darn I should have taken I-10 and stopped over at karen's for the night.   ;D ;D

kb, tig - Morning/Afternoon  :)

PUFF  Maybe once a year I cook Cornish hens for Tim and I.

LANI    The masked pontiff..  ;D

LISA   All good here.  Tim's had an itchy abdomen since the removal of gall bladder - Let it pass - just healing.   That was weeks ago and now itching all over - esp upper body.  Notes out to the docs..sigh.   You will sleep like a rock tonight!!!  Her new place sounds really nice.   Maybe a purge of a few things to come.

Tig, and women playing in the Billie Jean King Cup - already begun, and has overlapping dates, and playing at same Malaga, Spain venue, as the Davis Cup Final 8 2024 Tournament that starts Tuesday! I missed Fritz at the ATP Final - I messed up on the time! They finished 2 hours ago, I see!! I don't know if you've seen it, so I won't divulge the result. I just turned on the TV to watch the Chiefs game. Missed the ATP Finals final!!  ::)

LOLOLOLOL, Lani!!  That canine Pontiff is looking a tad haughty, if you ask me. Oh! No one asked me!  ;D ;D ;D ;) Cute pooch!  :-* What a hoot!  :D  I have paused the Chiefs game till I wrap up here - I mis-timed my stop by The Beak. LOL. I don't want to miss a play... so I'm headed to watch the game now. Go Chiefs!  (Now where's my Cozy Burger?)  ;) ;)

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

(https://media.tenor.com/7TPxcEZzgYYAAAAi/cute-happy.gif)


Lisa, glad you're back - that was a whirlwind trip! Y'all did so much! Can't belee you were up posting at 5 this morning after a busy trip and long leg drive home yesterday and not getting back till after sunset! No wonder you were tired while shopping today! Hope you can take a big break soon!!  :)

Clynn, go for the tasty and helpful shortcuts for T'Day meal! My sisters and I divvied up and started taking some of the side dishes for T'Day Dinner at Mom's house after we were grown and the little kids weren't quite as little. Time to give "Mom" a break!!

Puff, your T'Day meal will be yummy!   ;D ;)

Karen, clear out your guest room - Lisa's coming on her way to Mobile next trip!  ;) ;D ;)

TSK, glad it turned out your pretty bush didn't get completely crushed! Fingers crossed the temporary props you used on the beat-down lower branches will help, and it will look good as new again before long! Looks like you may have some snow coming this week! Get something to melt the snow and ice on your new front steps! Ugh on ((Tim's)) itching! That's a terrible nuisance! Hope they can figure what's causing it and put that awful symptom in the rear view mirror, pronto!! My niece has had the opportunity to travel widely through volunteer work, and through work work, LOL, and for vacay travel, too, so she has been to a lot of places in the U.S., Canada, Central and South America, and Europe, Asia, and Africa. She's a seasoned international traveler for her age.

Phyl, you pulled an all-nighter after ripping out the carpet and hand-scrubbing the carpet tape goo off, and your bathroom floor on your knees yesterday?!? Hope you got a good long snooze in after sunrise!  :D




I gotta go catch up on the Chiefs game!! Yikes!

Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Did I see the Chief's lost today?  Yikes!

BL, sounds like you will be on the road again soon!

baz, wow on your niece! She can check a lot of boxes on the 'where have you been' list! It's wonderful that she had the guts to do all that, especially starting so young!

tsk, hope Tim's itching goes away soon, itching is terrible! Have you ever had an itch on your foot while you were driving?  EEK!

TSK, LOL, I just went back and shortened that part of my post. It was too much. Oh law...  :D  Yep, she got the travel bug pretty early on, but she's 39 now, so she's had more years to do some of that. Like you, I love hearing other people's adventures and seeing their pictures. Oh, she and her husband met while in college. Yes! You saw the Chiefs lost! Rats! And, pooh.

BL, I love that song. Steve Winwood sure used to turn around on my table a lot. Enjoy your travels, and safe return. Yes, Puff sure has traveled much, to say the least!! LOL.

Lani, oh my, that Chiefs game! Ugh. I have a feeling there's a good chance they'll be playing the Bills again this season.

Clynn! LOL, I just hit post and saw you had posted while I was typing. Yeah, I guess my niece is driven. LOL, I went back and shortened my post from last night... it went on too long!  ;) :D  Your yellow leaves this morning are pretty. Oh, the fun of playing in the leaf pile!  :D



Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

Our city and community is promoting Ginko trees...The Male Ginko does not produce berries and that's what they are planting.

For the Chipmunk in My Yard

By Robert Gibb
I think he knows I’m alive, having come down
The three steps of the back porch
And given me a good once over. All afternoon
He’s been moving back and forth,
Gathering odd bits of walnut shells and twigs,
While all about him the great fields tumble
To the blades of the thresher. He’s lucky
To be where he is, wild with all that happens.
He’s lucky he’s not one of the shadows
Living in the blond heart of the wheat.
This autumn when trees bolt, dark with the fires
Of starlight, he’ll curl among their roots,
Wanting nothing but the slow burn of matter
On which he fastens like a small, brown flame.

TSK, I just noticed, it looks like that cute pup in the leaves - a Corgi, I think? - only has one ear... or is the other just camouflaged?

Clynn, I just noticed in your Peanuts leaf pile picture that Linus's blanket is hanging in the tree! LOL!

I don't think I'm awake yet. LOL, I'm heading for some...

Thank you all for remembering Jeff's big day today.  He is the big 60!!  I will show him all of your birthday greetings when he gets home.

baz - I do feel like it was a whirlwind trip.  I hope Punkin and family are all back home now, and she is doing better.

BL - Thanks for the tunes  :)

Lani - Sweet sleeping kitty last night. 

clynn - Love all of your leaf pics this morning, so beautiful.  LOL, Ed's Mole Hole.  I hope you have a sign like that down there for him!

Puff - Taking note on the Ginko tree. 

kb -  ;D ;D ;D  that is too funny!

tsk - Love your pretty colorful greeting this morning. 

Phyl - Pretty morning greetings, and thanks for the 365.

I am off to Sam's to see what kind of goodies they have that I can get Jeff for his birthday.  Catch up later.  :)

Caveat about clynn's leaves -- Don't ever plant a Ginko tree.  Leaves are an interesting fans (?) But the mature tree's berries are horrid.   :o

P

Our city and community is promoting Ginko trees...The Male Ginko does not produce berries and that's what they are planting.

Duh!...morning all

I knew about the male/female problem when I planted mine.  Nursery said I had the male - wrong!!  I dug it out, threw it away. 

Not sure if you're familiar with Oak Park kb, west of Chgo, but if you drive down "streets lined with ginko" you see breaks in the lines.  Not only do the berrries smell and get stepped on they also fall/drop on the streets where the traffic can crunch them and splash/stick on the car that drive through them. 

There's also a big planting of them in Lincoln Park areas.  I first learned about them maybe at 13 - science teacher had us put together a collection of trees/leaves.  Mrs. Spurlock - made an impression, I guess.

OMG! What just happened?!?!?  ??? I just hit some key that did the weirdest thing, and the worst of it is ALL my browser windows went POOF! and shut down! I work in Incognito Mode, so they weren't recoverable. Ugh. So I lost the long post I was in the middle of! Grrr.  :P

So, I'm not going to re-create my post. But, I will post this link to a GREAT page of Q&A about Ginkgo trees from the Univ. of Va. There's some incredible and WOW! "I didn't know that!" info in it. Some of it is quite amazing!! I particularly thought so about the history of the Ginkgo Tree! Who knew?!? LOL, I didn't!  ;D

I finished clearing the day lilies ... it took 2.5 hours. I did some other outdoor tasks. While resting, I saw a vole traveling in tunnels between various portions of the back yard. Little *&^^8#@6!!
Camper helped with bagging and then took them to the yard waste site. He texted a pic of the long line of cars waiting to get in! I'm back inside with hot chocolate. This acclimation stuff is for the birds! The only good thing is it keeps the riff raff out. Well, most of it.  8)

BAZI    Cool cake for Jeff  ;D    Didn't notice the one eared pup!!   Gosh, if you only knew what key you hit that did that !!  Wow
thought this was particularly interesting from that gingko article

"Butyric acid is a viscous, colorless substance that occurs naturally in butter, human sweat, vomit… and ginkgo fruit! Commercially, butyric acid is sometimes used as an odiferous additive in fishing bait and stink bombs. Some scientists suspect that Eau de ginkgo may have attracted ancient seed dispersers, encouraging dinosaurs or early mammals to eat ginkgo fruit and “distribute” the seeds far from the parent trees."

PHYL   Cute poem  ;D   Froggy AM on the flyway  ;) ;)   365  yes a real treat  :o :o

LISA   WOW  the big 60 .  Bet he doesn't feel a day over 59!

Lori, raccoons, a skunk and wonderful cupcakes for Jeff!  You never forget!  Bless you! Hope you are doing well...

baz, I have hit some key somewhere before and have had to call Erin to get my pc back!  And I never know what I did! Sometimes my pinkie hits the Ctrl key instead of the Shift key and weird things happen! My Mom has a little Ginko tree, it is in the middle of her front yard but there are so many other trees around it that it has grown very slowly and is very dainty!

tsk, there was a house in Laurel, MS that Hometown was re-doing that had a huge Ginko in the front yard, Erin Napier had someone who dipped some of the leaves in liquid copper and made a wall hanging. It was beautiful, the leaves are very unique!

Lani, sweet dog watching the leaves fall... Hope you were able to get a lot done for your fundraiser!

Lisa, so did you find something for Jeff at Sam's? Hope you two are having a fun day!

Phyl. great Northern Lights in the 365, and a very foggy morning on the Flyway!

I just had to take some pictures of my oak tree, it has never been this pretty! Usually it takes it forever to change colors and the leaves fall all winter, but this year it is a beautiful color all over! Leaves everywhere and still 20 million more to go!

CLYNN  That oak is gorgeous.  I think it is because it has been so warm that leaves are more colorful and not falling.  My maple has a lot of leaves yet to fall.  That oak has one heck of a lot of leaves.  Nice photos.

OLDGUY  A good cry is sometimes a good thing.  Made me cherish all the meows I loved and who loved me.  The Jeanne Robertson was a good follow up, cure, comeback. 

However, now I'm going to be rushing for preparations at 8a.m.   I have someone coming to work at the house and haven't even had something to eat (meds to be taken 1 hour later) -- And now I sit here at t he keyboard. 

BYE!!!

Tig, thanks for that heads-up. I knew they would be doing a special tribute for him since he's retiring when the current Davis Cup Finals are done, but I didn't know the dates. Hope you get some good rest.

Clynn, good family pics from "Talon Time" and he looks extra happy! LOL, don't tell Bella!  ;) :D

TSK, yes, Mariska is Jayne's daughter, and she was in the car with her mom and 2 other siblings when they were in that horrible crash that killed her mom. So sad!!

Lani, I hope your volunteer project fundraiser doesn't get you worn down. Hope you and Mike have a good day!



My knee has been acting up recently ::) It does from time to time... so I was having to walk slower, and for shorter walks recently, most days. But I put a wrap on it today for extra support, and got in a nice 32 minute walk. Pretty day!  :)

In accordance with the 64 day sunset in Barrow, AK.  LOL

It looks like the 1st Snow might be popping up for some beakers come this weekend.

I think some of the total inches are a bit overblown by the GFS model, but somebody's going to be shoveling out somewhere.   ;)

We're planning on heading to our cabin/camp in the Catskills (near Sundown, NY) this Thursday AM.
I see a solid foot + of the white stuff is forecast for up there.

What if we get trapped up there until Turkey Day .. well gosh darn that might just be a dreadful turn of events.   :P

Pip, Kopje and I Just smirked at each other .. packing plan B has now been enacted.  :D   

We'll see how this weather event actually plays out.
Our neighbor got our snowmobiles fired up for us this afternoon just in case.    ;D
Thank you Tom you're the man.   :-*
He also said a real Tom the turkey is awaiting us in his freezer .. it was harvested off of your land after all.    8)

Lori. You must have an accomplice in Maryland. What a great picture of Pepe. I hope Jeff got a kick out of it after having been chased a little by him while trying to feed Jeff here you are now 60 years old plus one day I’ll bet it doesn’t feel any different than it did at 29.
Great cakes and other goodies for you and one delicious dinner. Oh what a feast maybe you can duplicate some of that on your grill is it still out working or has it been put away for the winter?.
Baz. got very involved in reading about the ginkgo tree and was about to plant one when I read that it does not grow in zone nine which is probably now a zone b getting very close to a zone 10 days I think we’re here anyway, thanks for the links and put on your walking.
LANi how is the fundraiser going and when are you having that a lot of work I’m sure.
Ph YL thanks for all the information you post every day I got caught up in reading about Anckor n

To a and probably going to fall one of these days . Notification required per Georgia lol I called my tax person today to see if disaster expenses could be filed on 2025 taxes and some of the expenses will not be incurred until that year when I mentioned having three blah blah, always cut down. He laughed and said he spent $25,000 clearing his lot of these trees he said is very weird because you have 100 feet in the air of lumber
And that’s all you see of those trees unless you’re in the car driving he’s right he’s also right ,the shade is nice and any rate I am taking three down to start. The other  11 will have to behave!

BL, TWC is showing snow flurries for us next Wednesday, but no measurable amount! Maybe you will have some snow fun in the Catskills! When we lived in Duluth we loved the snow, every spare minute snowmobiling! Of course, that was in my teen years...

baz, I am sure Talon loved his alone time with Mom & Dad! He is a very calm little guy, and usually just lets Bella go on and on. She is the loose screw, that is for sure. I can think of many friends that had a boy, and then a girl. The boys were all quiet and calm for the most part, and the girls...quite the opposite! Your boyfriend is retiring!  :o :o

One of my old High School friends, Wanda, moved back to the Albion area last year. She had gotten married and lived in Arizona. They divorced after several years, with one son. She then packed up and moved to Tennessee to be close to her son and his family, grandkids. Then a couple of years ago he got transferred to the DC area. She was lonely, so just sold her beautiful place in TN and moved back home. She had some pictures of her place on FB.

Missions for today accomplished tsk Next free time will be Thursday.  All day professional hours tomorrow. 

For all caught up on the Barrow "day" statistics, started by BL I believe.  Y' all know I've been there a few times (?) but that made me think back - I don't think I've ever had it snow when I was there.  I've been there in February/March, been up to Barrow in May.  No snow snowing but frozen snow (aka) by the feet.  Unique people only should try to live there.  I remember sitting and talking to a native Alaskan 95+ women, told us about their routine.  She lived in a rural area -  most of Alaska is rural - but said during the dark months a few always make walks to keep their minds in working status.  No snowflakes, but I do have some super aurora lights pictures.  Another cool pic is Tony barefooted walking into the Arctic Ocean as the ice was breaking up in the "spring".

clynn  Great pictures of your friends homestead in TN. 

Lori's story about thje trees I found interesting.  I was going to add that I hope you're still talking about the trees 10 years from now.  But that wouild be at 70.  I'm also hoping I'll be here to hear your report (I'll be 90 eeegads).

By the way it's no longer Barrow.  I believe about 20 years ago it is official - in native language now Utqeagvik.  Try and pronounce that - I'm still iffy on that, especially the pronunciation.

Happy Bird Day Jeff....above is for you!

Kb, We watched that in 1978! what great memories of the Blue's Brothers! SNL was the best back in the days! Love Dan Akroyd  ;D

Phyl, Love the pine cone birds.... Thanks for RRP blog update... Beautiful fall pics you posted yesterday.... beautiful Lunar eclipse in yesterday's nature video.... beautiful fall pics this morning.... Thanks for reminding us about Giving Tuesday.... good day at the dentist!  ;D.. funny cartoons  ;D

Lisa, I hope you're well rested now. You did a wonderful thing helping your niece settle into her new apartment. It sounds like a nice place, and having an extra bedroom to use as storage is a perfect idea. Our girls use their extra bedroom as a storage room too... We're fine, busy, but good... Mike is leaving for Houston in the early morning hours and will return Thursday... Love the great birthday posts for Jeff. I hope he had a great day.... I looked up a Chantily cake with fruit, gorgeous and looks very tasty. YUM!

Tsk, I hope Tim has found relief from the itching... Mike bought a 10 lb turkey for Thanksgiving. I'll make what I usually make, except leave off the girls favorites this year and no desserts. Did you find any turkey legs for Tim?

Puff, What a lovely Thanksgiving dinner...  I haven't baked a cornish hen since we lived in Kansas. YUM!... love your memories of places and travels.  :)

Baz, Even though the Chiefs lost, we thought it was a great game! .... I agree, I bet they will play the Bills again too... beautiful fall pics you posted yesterday. I didn't know about Ginko trees either.... Thanks for posting the story of Jayne Mansfield and daughter Mariska, very sad.... glad you were able to get a walk in, take care.

Kb, I had look up a Ginko tree. They're very pretty.

Tig, Since you have street lights,  3 years is a long time before city repairs them. Geez! We don't have street lights in our area.... Jayne Mansfield played the piano beautifully... good luck to DNR new eagle family.

Clynn, pretty little restaurant in Sedona... When we lived in Scottsdale, we tried a couple of times to get in, but it's always busy..... Love yesterday's beautiful fall leaves posts...  never had an itch on my foot while driving. LOL!  ;D ... your oak tree is gorgeous! Beautiful colors... Beautiful fall pics this morning.... I hope Bella had fun at her first overnighter... lovely pic of Erin, Sydney and Talon! Big Smiles from the young man!  ;D ... I can't imagine no sun for Barrow, Alaska. 64 days, maybe I could go a week.  :-\  ... love the original SNL crew! The Coneheads!  ;D ... beautiful pics of your friends home and area.

Oldguy, what a wonderful story about Dudley.... Walter Santi's mama and kittens bath time.... neat DIY cat shelter.... that glass slide and bridge is amazing... Thanks for all the videos.

BL, enjoy your time in the Catskills... safe travels and trip!  :) ... Jewel, Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski a nice ending to the day.

Karen, I finished my part of getting ready for our December 5th fundraiser. Prep work..... So I'll start bringing up Christmas things.

Lani, you have had a busy few days, I hope you get to rest a bit now. I bet it feel good to have that big job done!  Will you have the house all Christmassy when Mike gets home tomorrow, or at least a good part of it? How are Sadie and the cat boys doing? And what are the girl's Thanksgiving favorites? No desert?  :o

WYOMING’S DIZZYING SMITH MANSION is rumored to be built over a mine shaft or by the hands of a madman or as a perverse joke, but the truth is that it is simply the work of a man who could not stop building.
Located in the picturesque Wapiti Valley, the former home of builder and engineer Lee Smith rises out of the landscape in a seemingly random collection.

What an incredible "catch" of a photo.

The question about solar powered eagle nest cams was asked on their fb page...I never heard an answer that satisfied but I gave up scrolling after awhile?

But, I recently bought a solar powered "net" Christmas light for my yew and after one day without sun it stopped working. Yesterday it rained all day. Reviews said oh it can stay lit through clouds etc.

It comes with a USB charger and I did that all last night, but now I have to re hook it up in the snow!

I'm disappointed but will give it another try. It was solar or battery powered choice for me as otherwise it takes a long extension cord across my garage door to reach an outlet. Now I wish I'd picked battery powered.

Perhaps it's NOT true that solar powered stuff works well in Minnesota with lots of cloudy days in the winter?

I am not done with getting ready for winter. Hitting my forehead as I believed the 10 day weather forecast. Snowing lightly here till around noon.

I have hopefully one day, Sunday, to finish mowing up massive leaves on my front yard and running out the gas out of mower and swapping positions with snowblower....Hopefully.

Just found this from Lori Noelle at the DNR nest: when asked about solar powered cameras. She's in charge.

"Solar isn’t reliable in Minnesota in the winter. Can you imagine brand new chicks and the camera goes down for hours?! Just isn’t feasible"

Woot Woot Ollie man!

He was unrelenting in the staring mom down for at least an hour. Even lightly barking at me. Unfortunately, he doesn't speak English. As Chris was on the phone with his Doc and complaining I tried everything to figure out what he wanted: Food, opening of all 3 doors....nope nothing absolutely nothing would stop him from trying to get my attention.

Now I did hear that distant light infrequent chirping sound from a low battery of a smoke alarm.
Finally found it in the garage.

One of those sealed kiddie ones with a 10 year battery life. Had to google how to discharge the battery as you can't open the dang thing. Also as it's a lithium battery have to dispose at a special hazardous waste site.

Now Ollie is peacefully resting on my bed....Way to go. Now I know when he wants my attention he won't stop until I figure it out!

So sorry Ollie man..

Indeed on Ollie man...he's always been extremely alert..if you remember even as a puppy he alerted us to when the toaster or coffee pot weren't pushed back completely on the counter...
I eventually got a little disturbed by his non stop attempt to get my attention and was very unusual..I won't do that again.

tsk - Love that morning pic!  Not a big to do for Jeff and I this year either on Thanksgiving Day.    My grocery store Acme, if you spend $300 you can get either a free 4-7lb turkey breast or a 10-22lb turkey.  We got a 12lb one.  You can make lots of things with leftover turkey.   :D  I don't even know if I am putting up the tree this year.  I may put up my ceramic white one.

Howdy Beakers!

Thanks for asking about my knee - it's about the same... not an unusual situation though. It's often "under the weather" since I injured it pretty badly back in 1986. Surgery was discouraged at the time (before arthroscopic procedures were available for that type of injury), but I did get surgery for it 5 years later after arthroscopic surgery options came along. It didn't fix my knee by any means, but it sure helped stabilize it significantly, which was good, because before that surgery, I could suddenly, and without any warning whatsoever, find myself plopped unceremoniously on the ground, wherever I just so happened to be the moment - could be walking down the hall in a business setting, or crossing a 4 lane street on the way into work and hoping not to get hit by a car - that was scary! - during rush hour in the morning, which did happen, and no drivers seemed to be slowing down before I scrambled, crying in pain, to the side of the road... ugh... bleeding, with torn clothes, but grateful to be alive, while the lush sitting on the steps of the big downtown post office was laughing at me as he sipped his beverage from a plain brown paper bag.  So I am grateful not to have to deal with that instability anymore! Going for a short wrapped-knee walk right after I post.  ;) :D


Lisa, the 1st year I declared I wouldn't put up a Christmas tree, my sister and her son sneaked over with a small cut Christmas tree and insisted on putting it up and decorating it. LOL. That fluffy light birthday cake wouldn't have lasted long at my house. Yum! Oh, in my post that went poof a couple of days ago, I answered your question... yes, and thank for asking, my niece and LGN and fam got home from Boston last Wednesday, and my LGN went back to school last Friday. She's doing great!

TSK, good news that Tim's itching is subsiding! Yay for finding the turkey leg, and dressing, too. Sounds yum.

Clynn, what a gorgeous setting for your friend, Wanda, where she lived in the TN mountains. I looked it up, and it is a 28-mile drive from my Mtns Sis's home. I'm sure I've seen that location from afar, too, since I hiked a portion of the AT (Appalachian Trail) all around that Roan Mtn (6,285-ft elevation, about 12 miles from Wanda's) area, and camped near where I enjoyed standing atop a grassy bald with a 360-degree unobstructed view into 3 states - NC, TN, VA - and that would have encompassed looking toward Wanda's pretty area. A beautiful area! You will be able to visit her when you visit your mom - right? - now that she has moved back close to Albion. Maybe you said  you did catch up with her again on your most recent trip?

KB, Ollie rivals Lassie. LOL. Remember when Timmy couldn't come home because he had fallen somewhere, and Lassie ran home and barked at Paul and Ruth and led them to Timmy? Glad you found what Lollie was signaling you about!

Tig, last night I watched the on-court celebration of Rafa's tennis career that was held immediately after he lost at the Davis Cup Final 8 2024... his last professional match. Boo hoo. Glad it could be on his home turf, and so many of his family and friends and others could be there. Most of it was in Spanish, but some was in English. Watching his sister being emotional in the stands about made me cry. I'm sure he will pop up here and there in the pro tennis world - maybe he will coach eventually - but it won't be the same not seeing him play at the French, and the other majors, anymore. I set the DVR to record the Tennis Channel's "Legends" special about him that will air on the 30th. Glad the pool was nice and warm!

Phyl, it seems knees are almost always troublesome after injury. Glad you found at least some helpful relief with your recent gel injections.

Karen, I have discovered that real estate tax listings are public info - usually through the county's government tax site online. That's how I find who owns particular addresses when I have needed to. That ginkgo tree piece I found had incredible info in it!! I noticed its growing zones, too, when I read it. There was so much in that piece... such as, handling the fruit causes a poison-ivy type rash for many people. Yikes! I wouldn't touch it. LOL.

Lani, your Thanksgiving plans sound relaxing and yummy! Glad your part of that fundraiser project is a done deal. Hope it will be sucessful. Smooth travels for Mike!  :)

Puff, if I stood next to the Arctic Ocean, like Ton, I would have to splash my feet in it - just so I could say I was in it. But I wouldn't have lingered. LOL.

BL, looks like some weather forecasters are not placing any bets on accumulation numbers... said it's a tricky forecast in so many places,  due to warm ground, location, etc. LOL, think they've been burned in the past. But you and Pip and Kopje will surely be in the right place if there's a good snowfall around there! Yes, it would be just awful if you all got stuck and had to stay through Thanksgiving!  ;)  ;D  Enjoy!  :D


Later, Gators!  :)

Lisa, did you spend the $300 or just buy the turkey? Sometimes the mood just isn't there. I sometimes would like to pass on the decorating because we are never here for Christmas, but I go ahead and do it for Kelsey and the kids...  I have a turkey breast, around 5 lb I think, and I have a small ham. Got my Stove Top Stuffing, love that stuff! And it doesn't get any easier!! I did go ahead and buy sweet potatoes, will do homemade this year. They were on sale for $.38 a lb. That is cheap, and Kelsey and I love a baked sweet potato with butter and brown sugar!

Phyl, 'the magic bone'! Cute ice cream corn cornucopia with M&Ms, I may try that for the kids! Great pictures of the Norths, thanks for sharing!

  Good evening, bakers clynn, and baz  I love the pictures of the Tennessee mountains and have driven the three states Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia in that area many times , absolutely spectacular and something about the foliage makes the  area seem soft and enveloping. I hope that any damage that has been done to the areas as soon replaced with new growth, so the bare spots are filled in quickly . I have read that a lot of topsoil has washed away so we’ll have to see what will be growing without it.
I’m  enjoying the discussions of SNL and of course love them as they
started at second city in Chicago in 1959 in the 1600 block North Wells. What a great time it was to be a young adult and have that as your playground..
yes, there is sure a lot of information on the tax records and I did get information on both of my neighbors through property records which are available online. I have talked with both of them at this point and do not believe anything will be done until after the first of the year, as I believe, they both are very short of money date house, which is not directly behind me, but his fence is part of my backyard. Fencing is owned by the widow of an Air Force person, and is not one who talks her son lives there with his wife and two children, and seems to be in charge of the property , I believe what he told me although he stopped talking before he got it all out. Yes that he collected $16,000 for the fence following the first hurricane he obviously spent the money on something besides fencing he is not able to get more  money for the same fence.  The other house is owned by a young woman who grew up in the house and bought it from her father. She not only has fencing but trees to deal with and I don’t believe either were in her plans she’s employed by a bank, so maybe they’ll be kind and give her a small loan  to buy her out  of this mess She said the insurance company is giving her a runnaround about the fencing.   Now, I wait and see.  :-*

I have  two  turkey thighs in the freezer and will buy and a small  pan   of dressing at publixs,  I will look around for other sides and if nothing looks good get a sweet potato.h

Fresh 10 pounder for .christmas.

KB  WOW  that is amazing.  I've never known a "10 yr" battery to last 10 years.  How is Chris doing by the way?  Photo by Mariah looks like a painting.

LISA  I looked up Berry Chantilly cake - It is original to Whole Foods!!!  Their's is the original recipe.  SO...I've been looking for a dessert for my girls party on the 9th!  I ordered one and will pick it up on the 8th - Can't wait to try it.  ;D   We have had our new tree up with the lights on since we bought it and Tim said  " I like it this way "  LOL  But I love ornaments so I will put on a few of my favorites  (like all of them)  NOT

PHYL  " Wish bone"  LOLOL   With the Country Music awards tonight - are you located anywhere near that location?

BAZI   Wow  we now have some backround on that "under the weather" knee situation.  I'm also glad you don't have to deal with that instability again either.  YIKES  That fall in the street was a nightmare.  The interesting thing about sports is having to retire at 38 from play!!!  So many sports are like that.

CLYNN   Thanks for those emotional pics of Nadal.  Still such a young man.   LOLOL on the turkey legs cartoon - will show Tim  ;D

Hello Beakers

My relaxing day off from work went down the drain at lunch time..  My Microwave of 1990 manufacture, refused to work for my lunch.  90% of what we eat at home gets heated by the microwave.  Checked it out and determined that a part of the control board got too hot.  All of the safety switches were working fine.  So spent another hour on line to research for a replacement.  Then went to the local Best Buy (only local brick and mortor to carry what I wanted) to buy a replacement.  Got something to eat on the way home, since I missed lunch and then set it up and did online registration - so 7 hours later....

Tsk  I live in Nashville near the Metro area.  More accurately 'Cane Ridge' where one of the  Civil War battles was fought---known as the "Battle of Cane Ridge'. I'm just a few miles from the battle site.

Baz I heard the news about Rafael Nadal retirement on FNC's 'American's Newsroom" this AM.  It looks like he might be taking hard.       What  knee relief !?  LOL      Those injections are tightly regulated and cost $750 each even w/ Medicare there's a ded for me.
I was told they usually last up to 6mos. And, not to come in at 6mos because I was told that's longest the benefits last either. If I'm  not in utter
anguish --- .

I guess Thanksgiving will be another deal, but not much goes in there occasionally I cook something on top of the stove like pasta.. you had quite a day and I hope you’re relaxing now has any snow started there I hear it came down in Peoria, not expected to stick. good night bakers SEDS

Thank you for posting about Athena the GHO.... The Smith mansion was an interesting video I watched on youtube this summer. He built the home for his family.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYfWgRXxUq8
Tim and his turkey leg.  ;D

{{{Lisa}}} glad you're rested  :)

Phyl, great fall puzzle pics... Cool eagle pic and great DNN pics too. I like this view of the nest.

Tsk, I love Blue Bloods too....

Kb, Ollie has sensitive ears and so does Sadie. They can hear those irritating chirps.... How long did the 10 year battery last?

Baz, sorry to see Nadal retire. I can't believe he's 38, he seems younger.... Take care

Oldguy thanks for links... Looks like Walter, Santi and all the cats will be moving soon.

Lani, I knew you were busy, I can tell by your posts!  Mike back home tonight and most of your little shores done, now you can enjoy decorating for Christmas! Thanks for the video of the Smith Mansion, I wondered what it looked like inside! Very primitive, but what great views from the top floors!

karen, it tried hard to give us a little snow yesterday, but it was just a very light sleet-like moment or two. Very windy, which made it cold! I finally put my Impatiens to bed, they are hard enough to get out of the dirt as it is but impossible when the dirt is frozen! I admire them though, they were still blooming on 11/20!

Phyl, I am a Stove Top Stuffing fan too! This year I am mixing sage and turkey flavors!

oldguy, thanks for the videos, Santi's house looks like it has a long way to go before they can move in, but the critters will love it!  You are a trooper, I would have just bought a new microwave...We brought one like yours (from the early 90's) with us when we moved here in 96. It has been replaced twice. Unless you can repair it yourself you just about have to buy new! You are a great handyman!

I have my semi-annual appointment with the Retinal Specialist this morning so need to get ready! BBL!

The Zammit family from Sydney, Australia, gained fame for their refusal to sell their five-acre property, even though they received offers of up to $50 million. Their land became a prime target for developers as new residential neighborhoods were built around it, with roads curving around the property to avoid it.
Despite the substantial offers and growing pressure from developers, the Zammits remained steadfast in their decision to keep the land, prioritizing their connection to it over the financial gain that selling would bring.
The family's story is a rare example of people holding on to their land against overwhelming commercial interests.
Over the years, their home became a symbol of resilience, as they defied the allure of massive offers.
This situation caught the attention of the public, with many admiring their refusal to part with a piece of land that held sentimental and personal value, even when surrounded by major changes in the area.

📺 SLOTH TV
We know it’s been disappointing not to see the sloths on camera as often these past few days. Unfortunately, the recent cold and windy weather has been less than ideal for our slow-metabolism friends, potentially compromising their health if they stay outside for extended periods. All of the sloths at Toucan Rescue Ranch are orphaned individuals who are undergoing rehabilitation for eventual release, and their well-being and health are always our top priority. We appreciate your understanding as we put their care first!

🦥Sloth Preschool Update:

NEW ARRIVAL Lula: Lula arrived at TRR after being found next to her mother, who unfortunately passed away. She was fed cow's milk by her well intentioned rescuers and has been having some digestive issues as a result, which is a perfect reminder of why sloths and cow's milk do not get along! Has a reserved prognosis.

Beshayer 2F Sloth: Beshayer appetite has been improving and she’s been growing steadily, finding comfort and fun with her besties Zayed and Denahi. Has a reserved prognosis.

Zayed, 2F Sloth: Zayed is progressing really well. He’s growing steadily and maintaining a healthy appetite. He has devoloped a taste for adventure and can frequently be found climbing to the top of his climbing structure. He has a reserved prognosis at this time.

Denahi, 2F Sloth: Denahi has completed his treatment for anemia and, although he might seem a bit pale, his blood work shows great progress! His consumption patterns have also improved along with his curiousity for the world around him! Has a reserved prognosis.

Klara, 2F Sloth: Klara has been gaining weight quickly and remains very active during the night. She has earned herself quite the reputation as a fluffy piranha (we still love her though) and we are happy to share that she soon will graduate to Sloth Elementary!

Heidi, 2F Sloth: Heidi is currently undergoing treatment for anemia and a respiratory condition, so we are closely monitoring her progress. This little sloth-shaped cloud remains very active and maintains a good appetite. She has a reserved prognosis at this time.

Cello, 2F Sloth: Cello is showing steady growth and remains very active and feisty. However, he has encountered new obstacles in his recovery journey, including a fight with an abscess in his eye. If you would like to give this tiny one a hand, be sure to check out his campaign on Cuddly! Every dollar is one step closer to getting him back in the trees! https://cuddly.com/donate/4942441/cello

Pablo, 2F Sloth: Pablo continues to make great progress and his giant belly bald spot is all that is left after his full recovery from umbilical dermatitis. He maintains a healthy appetite and consistent weight gain!

Opal, 2F Sloth: Opal is growing stronger every day. She is steadily improving her agility and movement and she’s getting ready to graduate to Sloth Elementary!

Bonnie, 2F Sloth: Despite her ligament injury, Bonnie has begun using her hand more and more each day showing an impressive strength! She’s been eating well and remaining active, showing great determination in her recovery.

Clyde, 2F Sloth: Clyde has shown consistent growth, excellent appetite, and an adventurous personality. If you see a sloth moving around the structure, moving from top to bottom and all over the place, look closely as it's most likely Clyde!

TayTay, 2F Sloth: Tay Tay has been gaining weight consistently and maintains a healthy appetite. She has begun spending more time outside in the trees as she is now getting ready to graduate to Sloth Elementary!

Waylon, 3F Sloth: Waylon keeps eating on his own and gaining weight! He has a tremendous appetite and he demolishes every leaf presented to him!

Pixie, 2F Sloth: Pixie has been eating well and steadily gaining weight, showing remarkable growth despite being the smallest sloth we've ever received! We have been encouraging her to climb more as she’s getting ready to graduate to Sloth Elementary!

🌳Sloth Elementary / High School Update:
GRADUATE:
Preztel, 2F Sloth: Pretzel has officially graduated to Sloth Elementary! He has been passing all his sloth courses with flying colors! He has been adapting well to this transition improving a lot, and continuing to eat and grow really well!

Beanie, 2F Sloth: Beanie has also graduated! She has greatly improved her mobility and is now eating all her vegetables without a fight (or tricks!). She is growing well and we are actively working on encouraging her independence.

Blake, 2F Sloth: Blake is being weaned off of smoothie! She has been adapting well and is becoming more independent each day!

Nevada, 2F Sloth: Nevada is currently in the process of being weaned off of smoothies, and she’s making excellent progress so far! She is gaining weight consistently and growing a lot!

Bruno, 2F Sloth: Bruno has also been growing very well and he’s being weaned off of smoothie. He is making his caretaker proud, as he is making remarkable progress in becoming more independent.

Fiesta, 2F Sloth: Fiesta is eating (and enjoying) more vegetables. She is adapting well and steadily becoming more independent.

Wyatt, 2F Sloth: Wyatt has been making remarkable progress. We are closely monitoring his consumption at the moment, but he remains healthy and active!

Tulip, 2F Sloth: Tulip continues to grow steadily and is being weaned off of smoothie. She recently recovered from some digestive issues and is now back to full health with even more strength and determination!

Rose, 2F Sloth: Rose is becoming more independent each day and is in the process of being weaned off of smoothie. She adjusting well to spending time in the trees!

Moose, 2F Sloth: Moose is also being weaned off of smoothie. We are monitoring his weight as it has been fluctuating a bit, but he is healthy and progressing well!

Grover, 2F Sloth: Grover has been spending more time outside! We are carefully monitoring his food intake as it has been fluctuating, but he remains healthy and we are very proud of his progress.

Binx, 2F Sloth: Binx remains active and is gradually becoming more independent as she spends more time in the trees and in an outdoor enclosure!

🎓Sloth University Update:

JJ, 2F Sloth: JJ keeps gaining weight and is adjusting well to this new stage so far! We have been working on developing his independence!

Mimi, 2F Sloth: Mimi is currently adapting well to her transition to our Release Site and continues to gain weight steadily. She has been developing more of her natural behaviors and is becoming more cautious towards humans!

Phoenix, 2F Sloth: Phoenix is making incredible progress so far. He keeps steadily gaining weight and independence!

Roo, 2F Sloth: Roo keeps growing steadily, and is getting closer to being back in the trees! We are really happy and proud of his progress

🕊️In Memory Of:🙏
Miztli, 2F Sloth, and Buki, 3F Sloth: These two remarkable orphans arrived at TRR after surviving tragic circumstances, but unfortunately passed away from their injuries a few weeks after arriving at our clinic. Although you might not have met them officially (but you may have seen them on the porch), we decided to include them in the update as a testimony to their resilience and as a reminder that wildlife rehabilitation can have its ups and downs.

Ken, 2F Sloth: We are absolutely heartbroken to announce that Ken has unfortunately passed away. He encountered several health issues on his path to recovery but ultimately passed away due to a parasite. We will miss him greatly but we are sure that he is cheering on his fellow sloths on their path to being released.

Today is the first day that we have actually put on long sleeves!  It is a chilly 39° with the wind chill this morning. 

Puff - I see snow this morning in Decorah.   :)

baz - Happy to hear that Punkin is back home, in school and back to her regular schedule.  I did go out yesterday, and look at a small tree 4.5 foot to put up, but I want Jeff to look at it.  I do love sitting in the living room looking at the lights.

clynn - Yep, I spent the $300 on groceries to get the free turkey.  It was not hard to do with the price of groceries.  You had from Oct. 1 thru Nov. 27 to spend that to get a free one.  Sounds like you are all set for Thanksgiving.  LOL, the pic for Tim and turkey legs!  Good luck at your appointment this morning.

karen - I hope you can get your fence problem fixed quickly.  I know it will be a pain.   Are you going to roast/bake the turkey thighs?

tsk - Yes, I forgot to mention that about the Berry Chantilly cake!  I hope you all like it.  I have bought it a few times from Whole Foods years ago, till Sam's started making the bar cake. 

oldguy - I have a 1990's microwave too, and I hate to part with it!  I am hoping it continues to work...let me know on wood.  Glad you found a part for yours, but sorry it took all day. 

Phyl - Jeff likes ham for Christmas too, with either potato salad or scalloped potatoes.

Lani - Thank you....I hope you are rested too.   Thanks for the TRR update!

A short video of the ice rink of our roads yesterday.

"DEADLY+WINTRY WEDNESDAY: Our mid-week was book-ended by accumulating snowfall in many areas of Minnesota, with hundreds of traffic crashes snarling roadways. The conditions led to widespread travel disruptions and worsening conditions through the day, with MnDOT crews working overtime, deploying plows and trucks to help keep roadways clear.

By around 9 p.m. Wednesday, there had been more than 570 crashes reported statewide, with over 45 involving injuries and 500 resulting in property damage. Spinouts and jack-knifed semis added to the mayhem, with over 60 vehicles spinning out and nearly 25 semis blocking roadways. Tragically, two of the crashes resulted in fatalities.

Slick conditions are expected to continue in some areas through Thursday, making cautious driving essential. For updates on these "

I watched/felt my front step turn to glaze ice over time yesterday...apparently shocking many drivers as well. As temps slightly shifted and wind picked up most surfaces at my house were glazed over.

We shall see as temps rise a titch today how much melting occurs...still have that list of things to do outside.

Lani - the battery lasted one month short of 10 years. Purchased in 2015...

tsk - Chris is better thank you. Just not entirely "normal" yet.

Good Morning Beakers!



The Zammit family from Sydney, Australia, gained fame for their refusal to sell their five-acre property, even though they received offers of up to $50 million. Their land became a prime target for developers as new residential neighborhoods were built around it, with roads curving around the property to avoid it.
Despite the substantial offers and growing pressure from developers, the Zammits remained steadfast in their decision to keep the land, prioritizing their connection to it over the financial gain that selling would bring.
The family's story is a rare example of people holding on to their land against overwhelming commercial interests.
Over the years, their home became a symbol of resilience, as they defied the allure of massive offers.
This situation caught the attention of the public, with many admiring their refusal to part with a piece of land that held sentimental and personal value, even when surrounded by major changes in the area.[/size]
(https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/467756455_122126053874472256_6340992896000413332_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=aa7b47&_nc_ohc=2_pKiCNM5sYQ7kNvgFS5pRl&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&_nc_gid=AAyVBSOixfBG7mHtQ7qT2do&oh=00_AYDs4MuQtsttcu6OXyR6wEulV1AVIDE-y_j6c0ts2C5_eQ&oe=67450971)

We're looking at two totally different mindsets.  They, the Zammets, appreciate what they have and have their souls in the right place.  Wish I was able to give each and every family member a BIGGGGG hug.  What love for their heritage and family.

Then, if you look closer, look at what surrounds them.  Different goals, different desires, IMHO the also- rans.  There isn't enough space to sneeze without spreading your germs or even the smell of  what you had for dinner.  Block after block, box after box    OMG.

Looking beyond the immediate center at the other housing surrounding the edges/outside the boxes  there does appear to be another choice?  So very glad we have so many other options and means to better our choices.  Glad I had choices, happy I made my way to my estate.   ;)

Hi Lisa - Hi Phyl  Chilly morning to all.

Beautiful downtown Darien starts at 25 this morning kb.  Did a big no-no and didn't put refuse at the curb last night.  Wee bit nippy this morning.  Did one smart thing - dug out and put on my down cold weather coat with gloves.  Luckily the only flakes that survived were on the grass and roofs. 

Joy of joys is that I haven't fought rush hour mornings into the city since 1994.  No rush and no backups on my block.    ;D   NOPE don't miss I55.  Sipping hot tea as I start my at-home work.    ;D

LANI  Thanks for the inside look at the Smith house.  Pretty indestructible!  Very comprehensive report on TRR  I love their names  ;D

CLYNN   I've never used Stove top stuffing.  Hmmm   Whole Foods they will have fresh dressing made.  Maybe will get some Stove top just in case.  Good visit with the retinologist  I hope.   Eminent Domain must not exist in Australia....Gorgeous home.

This one was different though. Temps hovered right around the freezing mark, so though it snowed on and off lightly all day and into the night. It was WET and froze instantly. So ice ice baby. Not snow.

Clynn, I've never used stove top stuffing. I found a quick stuffing recipe in my Pillsbury Family Cookbook I bought 52 years ago. I bought it from a young school age student going door to door selling magazine subscriptions. I bought that too.... I can make that recipe in my sleep. As time as gone by I've added spinach, shredded cheese or italian sausage and I use it for the base of oyster dressing.... Interesting story of the Zammit Family..... I pray your appt goes well...

Lisa, The Chantilly cake looks creamy and moist, I'll have to keep an eye out for one.... Aly likes ham, I'll make her a honey baked one for Christmas. She'll be here  ;D

Kb, so glad Chris is feeling better.  :-*. The roads! YIKES!! .. take care and be safe.

Phyl, Blue Bloods is a wonderful family/NYC story with a great cast... I don't watch the 3 networks either. But, you can watch on other channels ROKU, etc... great morning fall pics.

tsk  Update on Mother N's handiwork - Everything is now covered and white here, too.  Streets, walks, drives, roofs.  It figures!  I just finished Great Britian web trip now have to go out for other appointment.  Work is it should stop 1P - 3P.   It might be warm enough to warm streets/walks and melt.
  Previous mentioned rush hour will be horrid none the less.

kb  Snow on the  panels - oooops.  I did something similar. I did cover my water fountain (still has to be drained so it won't crack).  However, I never plugged in the heated water bowl on the patio.  Water froze and the snow now covers the ice.  When I return later I'll slush through snow to plug it in.

by whoops I meant not feasible to run a solar paneled outdoor Christmas light net set here in MN..I won't buy it again and will replace with a battery powered one soon. Nope, you won't find me daily deep in snow grabbing the solar panel, if I can find it, and bringing it inside to charge.

Great to hear Aly will be back for Xmas.  She's putting a lot of mileage on her car.  ;) ;)   I noticed that about Waylon.

Set up my jigsaw table last evening and sorted 1,000 pieces in 90 minutes.  I know I said I was not doing 1,000 pieces any more but CLYNN provided the link to the stained glass cat puzzle that really grabbed me - don't do that again CLYNN - so that is what I'm starting with.  :o :o 8)

Kb - this year we a selling a light set that uses a timer and battery bank - box says that it will last 33 days of 6 hrs run time/day on a single charge.  But the details say that 33 days is if the temps are above 40 degrees and it is not designed to be used lower than -14 degrees.  It also says to replace it at 18 months if used in cold weather - 24 months in warm.  It does not tell you what the makeup of the battery is - ie lithium, alkaline, etc.  It has to be charged with a USB-C cable and takes 6 hours to recharge. I will not be recommending this item to anyone in Iowa or north. 

There is not way that a new circuit board is going to be available for a 30 year old microwave...
This what I got - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-2-0-cu-ft-countertop-microwave-with-sensor-cooking-and-smart-inverter-stainless-steel/6577451.p?skuId=6577451

What I am going to miss the most about my old microwave is that it did not have a turntable - it used a "stirrer" to evenly distribute the microwaves.

We got a tracking snow around 1am last night - streets/sidewalks were clear by this morning - it got up to 42 this afternoon, so no sign of it now.

Tsk tres apropos graphic this AM, my mom bought a bag of Pepperidge Farm dried bread crumbs seasoned them and added  fresh chopped
celery and onions and butter. I'm the one that 'doctors' the premade stuff up.   Tsk and all with snowfall...keep warm and don't go far from home, etc. But you  all are seasoned winter folk so don't need to mention. Just makes me feel better---I guess.

Hi Puff I gotta laugh at your '...wee bit nippy.' comment this AM.  Jim says ' A wee bit .-----.' he got that from Nat'l Lampoon's
"Christmas Vacation".  ::) ::)

Karen you have 'cheeky' Christmas lights with a mind of their own. ;D  What is Santa giving Piper for   Christmas?

Lani thanks for the 'Sloth Report' today.  Glad Ally will be w/ you both at Christmastime.  ;)    You always sounds like a fantastic cook and in good company w/ CLynn, Tsk and KB.  ;)   Like Tsk, I noticed the 3 toes on Waylon.

KB all the best with the battery o/D lights;  :o video of vehicle crashes on interstate; Glad Chris is doing better


OG many thanks for info on microwave ovens. Luv my turntable---stirrer huh? That's cool.  How funny Catman Chris' Marmalade and caged
Christmas tree. I always fret with snowmelt that may leave w thin film of water thatr's not evaporated then freezes and there one goes.!

Tsk  would luv to see that stained glass kitty puzzle when you've completed. You know,
that might make a cool Christmas card to send out. IMHO

Our snow luckily melted by the time I left at noon for my 1 o'clock dental appointment. It was a bit stressful though due to emergency vehicles racing through traffic on both coming and going and a tailgater/speeder.

Glad to hear that Aly and Dewey will be home for Christmas!  I hope next year after Shannon is all settled that you will have both of your girls home for Christmas! Thanks for the TRR news, wow, they have a lot of residents!  I am wondering how Sam and Sophie will do with the Christmas tree, we got them after Christmas last year so I have no idea!  ::) ::) We attached the tree stand to a heavy piece of wood after Harley and Honey tipped the tree over a few years ago so hopefully that can't happen again!

tsk, so you are working on that puzzle! And you know if I see another one that reminds me of you I will post it.  ::)  That one just popped up on FB, I wasn't searching puzzles!  There is probably a gorgeous butterfly puzzle out there somewhere...  ;D

Phyl, the Stove Top Stuffing, I use chicken broth instead of water. That's my trick! Good report at the Retinol Center yesterday, all is well and I don't have to go back unless I feel a change in the eye. Dr. Bracha is so nice, he said to call him if I have any concerns at all.

Lisa, oh yes, very easy to spend $300 on groceries in two months!  I thought you meant in one trip, which I have never done!  That's a good deal then!

OLDGUY    LOL  Catman Chris.  I think our first counter microwave did not have a turntable now that you mention it. Am so used to them now.

LISA   O'Hare reported 2.7" - the lowest for the area.  Some areas had 4"  But all gone as I opened the curtains this AM  ;)   Sure was a messy day and glad my grocery has underground parking for days like this  LOL

PHYL   LOL  "frilly" turkey pantaloons   ;D   Cute pilgrims this AM  ;D  Another good thing about puzzling during evening TV is that I stay awake and don't snack  LOLOL   Snow all gone this AM  ;)

TIG  WOW  You go a long way for your dental visits.

LANI   You're way ahead of me with "basting broth for turkey"   ;) ;)  You are a very good cook.  The older I get, the less time I devote to the fussier meals.  Despite the fact that Lulu helped decorate the tree she really just leaves it alone.    Lucy used to lay under it all the time.

CLYNN   Our tree stand is also fastened to a large piece of wood. So happy to hear your eye is stable. PHEW   To me when you live in a city like Sedona it's like living in Hawaii.  ON tour I asked the tour guide how do you live with all the beauty all around you.  Ans: You get used to it...

Good Morning Beakers

Phyl -  ;D Frilly turkey legs! Christmas Vacation is a favorite in this house, too.  Thanks for the 365.

tig - Glad to hear you made it to dental appt safely and back.

Lani - Love your good night kitty. 

clynn - I spend roughly $195 a week or more on groceries. It was easy to get the $300 in a month.  Jeff is always saying....it just the two of us, and cats...why do we spend so much!  ;D ;D
Ditto what tsk said about your eye! 

tsk - Wow, you all did get alot of snow.  Whole Foods in Annapolis is the only store around here that has underground parking.  It sure is nice to have with the rain and snow.

I am off to the doctors...catch up later.

I visited the eye doctor early today... will have a couple skin tag/keratosis removed at the eye in a couple of weeks.

Wow... we spend about $120 every two weeks on groceries, and we eat out an average of 1.5 times a week.
I love my Mom's sage dressing recipe... Jimmy Dean's sage sausage, onion, celery, sage crouton, etc. LOL... it is called dressing here, just like it is called Duck, Duck Grey duck.  ;D

Hugz all

Good morning bakers it was 47° this morning and I don’t have the heat on yet guess that will have to be turned on however I believe next week we will have a day at 81° no snow they’ll be L and I wonder if you have had much in the Catskills I heard there was a storm hitting the north east.
Lani. I also love the kitty in the jammies and eyeglasses curled up in bed last night so sweet.
I am now waiting for the plumber to come and give me an estimate on replacing both of my parties. They are short and I want taller ones. my old neighbor Jackie had that done before they moved and she used one of the box stores but had difficulty getting their plumber to show up as scheduled so I don’t care to fool with it speaking of schedules they help us not here yesterday and is not here again today And I guess that’s a good thing as both she and her son have tested positive for strep throat. Supposedly they are contagious for 24 hours and I don’t need that the agency is sending me someone today to help with a few things I need completed that I can’t get done that’s all the news that’s fit to print and I hope you are all having a great time love the discussion and dressing/stuffing. I use a version of my mothers as well. Which calls for pork sausage. I use the spicy kind as I like the cake that you get from it I will not be making it for Thanksgiving as I’m using the public as it’s easier just heat and eat.

Phyl, cute pilgrim decor.... nice nature video and flyaway pic... prayers for Sauces pair ...

Tsk, oh my, you got a lot of snow. Glad it melted..... I enjoy cooking a full turkey dinner for Mike. It's his favorite meal at Thanksgiving and Christmas, that's all he wants, no gifts, just turkey, jelly cranberry, mash potatoes and gravy...  ;D ... Milo and Norman like to lay under the Christmas tree or hid around the gifts, they leave it alone for the most part. I hope Tim is doing well.

Lisa, oh my, we spend $300+ on our once a month Costco trip....Batteries, Tide, cleaning products, paper towel, tp, kleenix, bottle water, dog/cat, cleaning products, beef/chicken/fish, etc.... bam it's over $300!.... Jeff, Mike says the same thing. Then he may add new pair of jeans, sweatshirt, odds and ends he can't resist. LOl! ... prayers for your doctor visit.

Whew, at only 36 above I finally after about 7 plus tries got the front yard mower to start. I needed to empty it of gas and picked up some leaves doing so. Swapped the snowblower for mower in garage after filling mower with seafoam, a gas stabilizer to protect the carburetor. Glad that is done/completed.
Just a few more outdoor items before winter to do. Temps not looking warm next week!

Lisa - As a 2 person family we spend about the same as you. Separately we order all household goods from amazon so it's just food in comparison with you. I stopped buying short ribs and pork butt for carnitas etc. can't afford it anymore.

BL I wonder if you have had much in the Catskills? I heard there was a storm hitting the north east.

Oh yeah KG we got socked pretty good last night / this AM.

I measured 12 inches of snow on the nose at 9 AM this morning on the back deck of the cabin.
We're at about 2,400 ft elevation here so that enhances the amount considerably.
 
Here's a screen capture taken from a NYS Mesonet webcam (automated weather station) not too far from our location at 8:20 AM 11.22.24.
Heavy wet snow glued to everything making for a winter wonderland in every direction.   :)

Time for an after lunch frolic with Kopje ..

Yes enough snow to run the machines around on this AM.

We ran the sleds around the quad trails packing down the early season snow connecting the trails with fat heavy 80's SkiDoo's.   

~PM Edit~
And getting even better as it's been snowing huge parachute flakes here all day and since that snow/sundog/rainbow sunset.   ;D

Temp holding at 29 ° F.

We got a safe bonfire cranked up here as everything as far as the eye can see looks like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Unthinkable as little as 96 hrs ago due to fire danger.

TIG   I'm more like you with groceries.  We do take out generally 1x/week to give me a break  LOL  Tonight is the night - Chinese!

KAREN   Sounds like you are getting the ADA toilets?   We have them.  You get so used to the height that you have to be careful using  the bathroom in places other than your own house  LOL   No you do not need strep throat. :o   My Mom's recipe had giblets and pork sausage.

Hello Beakers
A cool (39 for high) and cloudy day here.  Forecast has no precipt for the 10 forecast, but a warmer day on Sun and then continued cooling to a high of low 20s for Dec. 1

The new Microwave seems to take less time to heat food up - the old one I was using the high end of time range, but this one seems to work best at the low end of time range.

karen - Thank goodness the help did not come with the strep throat.  Cute peanuts cartoon.

Lani - LOL, Jeff is the same as Mike, adds something else to the cart.

kb - I do my household goods at Walmart, and every now and then will pick up something at the grocery, but not often. 

BL - Wowza on that snow!

tsk - Yes, groceries are high here, and I even do the digital coupons for Acme/Safeway!  This appointment today was to go over one of the MRI's I had.  I went to the hand doctor.  He says, I have something similar to trigger finger, but its in the wrong finger.  My pinky keeps locking up after that fall I had in August.  I got a shot of cortisone on the palm side of my hand right under the pinky finger.  He said, give it two weeks, and if it keeps locking up to come back for another shot.

oldguy - Glad to hear the microwave is working out.

LISA   Tim would rebel if I ever put fruit in dressing  LOLOL   I was going to say back when you had the last doc visit that it sounds more like a trigger finger - Tim has had 4 different fingers treated for that.  Every time - his blood sugar zooms up for several days from the steroid - that 's the down side.  You'll have to let us know.

47 for the high today, 57 for tomorrow and not windy! Last days to get outside stuff done before COLD snap! 37 high for Monday...

Phyl, love your pink cats this morning!  Really snowing hard in the 365, the juncos don't seem to mind too much!

Lani, what a cute good night picture! I think Mike likes what many like for Thanksgiving, meat and potatoes!  But we love adding the extras too! I have had to add mac and cheese for the kids.

karen, great whale rescue story! Hope you are feeling better today!

oldguy, love the squirrel video, they are so fun to watch! You seem to like the new Microwave, great advancements in decades! The new one probably won't last near as long as the old one did!! Great Home Free song...

BL, the snow looks lovely, is that the Michelin Man in the upper right corner?  LOLOL!

tsk, my Dad called it the 'no squat pot' when they got one of the higher ones!  We have Chick-fil-a on Mondays (Ed gets a free sandwich for being a vet) and Subway on Wednesdays. Pizza on Fridays. This is Kelsey's schedule and we don't vary much.

Lisa, I don't think many men actually know how high grocery prices are! Ed loves rainbow sherbet, it was always 3.99, and the pandemic came and it went to 4.99. I went to get him some yesterday and it was 5.99. I just happened to get a survey request from the store, so I just went into a tirade about the increase. I also thanked them for their nice, clean store and helpful employees.  :o

This is what 11am looks like in “the land where the sun never rises” 🤢
In the heart of the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard lies Longyearbyen, the northernmost Arctic city in the world, located at 78 degrees latitude. With a population of just over 2,000, Longyearbyen works in as many ways as any other city. It has a supermarket, bars, church, cinema, school and even a municipal swimming pool.
What makes Longyearbyen unique is its extreme location and the phenomenon known as the polar night, during which the sun does not rise above the horizon for weeks or even months, creating a mysterious and mesmerizing atmosphere.

I was surprised to hear prolonged bird songs this morning on my video camera. I don't know why...it's cold out I guess, so researched which one:

"Of the close to 240 species of birds that nest in Minnesota, only about 20 don't migrate. Some include several grouse and owl species; four of our common woodpeckers (downy, hairy, red-bellied and pileated); the white-breasted nuthatch; black-capped chickadee; northern cardinal; house sparrow; and ring-necked pheasant."

It's either a cardinal, chickadee or sparrow...can't tell.

Our four legged friends as they say "don't deserve us"....sorry couldn't find cat vids but this will surely put a smile on your face!

First reply now - It has to be about the doggy/kid video.  Fantastic - I'll definitely be sharing that around.  So sweet, so natural.  We do love our pets.  There's a certain bond of affection that's lovingly true.  Kids learn the meaning and feeling bright and early in their lifetime.

Thanks so much kb

What also struck me was how much that second baby with the black spotted pup looked like Chrisotpher when he was a baby. A real doppelganger: Sorry for the glare on my picture of a picture.

Another interesting topic - the potty  ???  tsk, clynn, and me short on material. . .

If you're either short (me) or tall people, also called "comfort height", there is an adjustment with the old fashion standard one.  Now if I come up to the older height I feel like I'm falling on the floor before I hit seat surface.  Tall people, especially male, had to have good aim from way up high is what Ton used to say.   For me it's kinda like the opposite - I have to go back to going down down down again, and it's holding out my hand as a guard between falling off or touching back into dribble to stop myself.

What an early morning topic.   ;)  But one more point - I had my upstairs potty replaced before Ton's downstairs.  I just learned to never use the downstairs.  Ton went back and forth until he got the zorts for his to be replaced.

New topic. . . . .

Under the inspirational CATegory... I have been viewing our state high school football championship games yesterday and today. I have been in tears watching how well raised these young men are. On almost every play one can notice opposing players helping others up from the ground, helping adjust opposing player's gear and/or giving an "atta boy" encouraging pat on the helmet or shoulder. There is hope...

Heading out in a few to rake the maple 🍁 leaves that finally finished falling.

Puff, Is NN the Decorah Nest? I just checked and see one of the Norths, all looks well.

Phyl, it must be Pink day!  ;D ... Junkos have arrived here for the winter (365), along with the Robins.

Clynn, sweet Caturday pics... I think the extras or sides at Thanksgiving is the best part of the meal too. YUM!... My walking buddies and I were talking about that this morning. I came home hungry. LOL! .. Mike's great at keeping track of grocery prices. He watches for online bargains for Safeway and Basha's. He knows the best time to buy certain products during the week. LOL!

Kb, cute dog video... Sweet pic of you and Chris.... I hope he's doing well.

Lisa, I'm glad you're okay today after your high blood sugar count last night.

Karen, Sweet Caturday pic... great pic of the crow and its reflection on the shore.

Tig,  that is inspiring  :)

CLYNN   Super cute AM kitties  :D   I like your/Kelsey's food schedule!!  3 days off cooking  ;D ;D   " No squat pot"  Love it  ;D ;D
Very responsible note to the store - good news and bad news  LOLOL   That is a awesome aerial view of that town.  Would love to meet someone from there.  No mention of a doctor or pharmacy  LOL

KB   That video was so precious!!!   Love your long hair as a young Mom  :)

LISA  Love the cozy AM kitty  :)

PUFF   LOLOL

TIG   Certainly a better example for all than angry parents yelling at the ref!!

KAREN    Interesting Nat Geo photo award winner.  So simple.

LANI   Kudos to Mike.  Tim falls in the column of has no idea what prices are.   I come home and show him how I saved $32 and he goes "REALLY"???   ( Digital coupons, store brands weekly sales)

Local nursery had their holiday opening today - cookies coffee, music - and sales!!!  They have a gorgeous gift dept- I say about 35-40 trees in it- each one themed decorated.  It's breathtaking.  Also many other holiday items for sale.

Lani - Love your morning kitty.  Thank you.  I had a feeling it would be high with the shot, but not that high. 

karen - Love the Nat Geo photo award pic, and your kitty in the pic has the most gorgeous eyes.

tig - Hope you didn't have too many leaves to rake.  We are waiting for the leaves on tree across the street to fall before we start to rake.  His always blows over to our yard, after we have raked up about 20 bags of leaves.

Lisa - I feel your pain!...I have 3 trees that aren't mine that always drop in my yard. Has to do with the way the wind typically blows when they are dropping. I have 3 of my own trees in addition.

My norway maple has dropped all but a 1/10th?....I compared pics to last year. This year in Minnesota was atypically late dropping for Maples.

Hi Puff  ;)

KB nice  happy snap of you and Chris and 'Elmo'.

Karen whose that handsome kitty in the snap?   Some snap of crow starring into it's own reflection at shore.

Tig often called 'team work' and always called 'common courtesy'.  ;)  ; hopefully you'll make quick work of them

Phyl, the Kitty in my am post was featured on line by the HumaneCNY of the inmates that were adopted this week!   Struck my eye as he/she has the look of someone who stuck their paw into the electrical outlet with all that hair sticking out, full body hair and sleek legs.  In addition very uniquely colored eyes!   Very happy it has  found a forever home!

Good night!  No strep here but an  out of sorts blood pressure!

Phyl - My first joint on pinky that was locking up, is still doing it at night, but not as much since the injection.  What I did notice tho, is that my whole right hand does not look as swollen as it usually does.  My neurologist noticed that too, and I told him, my hand has been like that since I had carpal tunnel surgery years ago. 

tsk - I like Homestead Gardens, but they are pricey.

karen - Glad to hear the kitty was adopted, and hope that blood pressure is coming down today.   :-*

Lani - Love that sleepy kitty pics last night.  The whole thing looks so cozy. Have you heard from Shannon since her move?  How is she doing?

Lani, you find the sweetest looking cats and dogs...  We went to Talon's birthday party last evening (his birthday is not until the 26th) and they were watching the CO vs KS game, another good win for Mike! Then they were watching the crazy ending to a BYU vs AZ game! The pool at Stoney Creek Lodge is indoor and outdoor, the kids had a blast!

karen, hope the blood pressure is down! So glad the kitty has a forever home now!

tsk, we have Earl May Garden Center that decorates beautifully for Christmas, love going there! I haven't been yet, maybe this week! Wow, you saved $32! I remember back in the late 60's, Aunt Linda was a 'couponer'! She belonged to a group that traded in coupons and oh my, the money they saved! We used to help her sort/cut coupons, it was quite a complicated deal! Coupons are digital now, for the most part...

Phyl, loved the Pink Panther, Peter Sellers was so funny!  Inspector Jacques Clouseau! So many fond memories we all have, I enjoy revisiting them here in the Beak!

Puff, I am only 5'1 (I used to be 5'2") and there is one item i always get at the store, and it is on the top shelf in some kind of rack. I always have to wait for someone tall to come by so I can ask athem for help!

Lisa, hoping your blood sugar went back down! Do you use one of those monitors that you stick on your arm?

This is a very, very niche tourist attraction. It is indeed a very magical and shocking place. It is like an alien shape suddenly standing on a vast land. This is in Kansas!

Historic Places of the World     

Machu Picchu
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/Machu_Picchu%2C_Peru.jpg/1200px-Machu_Picchu%2C_Peru.jpg)

Machu Picchu is an Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains in Peru, above the Urubamba River valley. Built in the 15th century and later abandoned, it’s renowned for its sophisticated dry-stone walls that fuse huge blocks without the use of mortar, intriguing buildings that play on astronomical alignments and panoramic views. Its exact former use remains a mystery.

Just for the record clynn - was 5'3" most of my life - latest at dr. appt was 5'0".
Happened again this week - needed whole allspice (most have ground) but it was on the uppermost shelf.  Waited around for some tall person to stroll down the aisle.  First candidate who tried was my height.  waited in vain for someone else.  Finished the rest of my list and then went back to finish the look.  Not too long for someone of height to come by, Yeah. 

And, although I don't often speak kindly about  "Stick"  I do use him to help now and then.  His extra inches and the bend of the grip do help pull things down my way.  Caveats:  Don't use for chips or bakery, and don't pull down anything 1/2 pound or more "clunk".

CLYNN   What a cool pool .  Open to the public or did you have to get a room there?   What you mentioned to PUFF is my problem as well.  It happens almost every other time I shop!!   I'm now 5'2" down from 5'3 1/2"  No wonder I have belly flabs.   Called Monument Rock and is chalk formations.  Who knew?

PHYL  You were very Thanksgiving today  ;D   She pretty much stays away.  I have it set up in my nest room upstairs and she really only goes there at 9:30 at night when she wants her bedtime treats  LOL    Many people I know have been to Machu Picchu.

KB   I know...Soon another loss coming up for the Bears.  I'll try and watch  LOL   Awww  Hope that pup finds it way home.  We have a lot of those lost/found pet postings on my "virtual chatter" FB page as well.  Many are resolved that way.   I read on to a happy ending for the pup.  ;D   See you at the game

PUFF   LOL  Where are the tall people when you need them.  I wait as well LOLOL

LANI   I sure needed that hysterical pontifical laugh this AM!!!    Came home from ACE to find Tim in the bathroom trying to stop the bleeding from his right forearm after he fell in the garage tripping over his wheel bumper stop.  He was carrying his leaf blower in front of him and didn't see it.   Well since we were at emergent care for the last one on his left arm about 3 weeks ago, we know how to treat it.  I just ran to Walgreens and got more supplies.  Sigh.

SKOL

I'm down to 5' 6" from 5' 8" . Grr. But, since 2020 I have ordered groceries for pick-up. It works well. And now... Instead of sending a text, one just points their cell phone camera at the sign. A link appears to a website where you fill in your name and parking space number. The groceries are brought out to the car minutes later. I have my mom n dad's old foldable shopping cart, by which I managed to transfer 5 bags in one trip this morning from the garage to the house.

I was 6'3" now down to 6'1".
One of my girlfriends from years ago was 5' 2" so I know what that bent neck store shelf "look" looks like.  :)

Going down an aisle .. and usually before being asked .. say "what can I grab for you dear" ?

Now I also dated a gal that was 6' 2" and when someone would ask her .. she would reply "sure no problem, now can you grab me that so-and-so from down there"  LOL.

Lisa those 'Thanksgiving' figurines I made 3o yrs ago in a ceramics class.  I was required to trim the greenware and initial/date before firing.
Once cooled I had to sand each piece smooth as glass. Then prime and hand paint by hand, two coats each---I think the group was fired before the final glazing. I had made loads of things and gave them away--the set posted and two pumpkins and tab le clock and Easter are about all that
remains

BrokenLug - You are tall!  Can I borrow you at the store for shelf reaching?  ;D

tsk - Oh no, poor Tim!  Did you get the bleeding to stop?

Phyl - Very cool that you kept those ceramic pieces.  I wish I had kept some pieces that I had made in a ceramic class when I was a youngster.  I know one was a ceramic Christmas tree.  Those classes sure were fun.

TSK... I missed your post earlier. Tell Tim from me... Slow down please. I turned the bathroom light off last night and ran into my cane with my bare foot. I was carrying a dish in my other hand, so my cane instinctively shot out to balance me and hit the bathroom door with a bang. I was ok except for some sore toes. Camper was concerned.

Always something...

TIG   You have a system that works for groceries.  :)    You are so right! Ouch for your tootsies.  Tim said when he finally settled down.  "That was such a stupid thing I did"   He has fallen before holding something against his stomach so he can't see his path.  Lesson not learned.

BL   You feel our pain LOL

KB   One of the better games the Bears have played this year...

PHYL   I didn't realize you had made those figurines. Very time consuming but was a fun hobby for you at that time.

LISA   Hope it stopped.  Had leaked onto a pillow he had in his lap so that is now soaking.  We will not touch it until later tomorrow.  He's bandaged ( telpha, gauge pressure square, self adhering wrap and an Ace wrap from elbow to wrist). He sees his cardiologist on the 18th and blood thinners will be discussed

My stepmother took ceramics and .i have several of her pieces!  One of  them looks exactly like   a Hummel.   She also painted!  And played classical violin,   Talented lady.
I was 5’5” and now 5’ or 5’1”.  Have to measure.   BL, I dated a fellow who was 6’4”!  Nice to be tall!

Lani, sounds like Shannon is going to be able to settle in soon! When will Aly and Dewey be home? I know you are so looking forward to seeing them...  Great to see the Pontiff Pooch yesterday!  It was a very nice day here, it got to 61! I got my outside chores done, Erin will be coming Wednesday to take care of the leaves in the back yard, so all is well. I got all the bird feeders cleaned and filled as well!  Sweet pile of sleeping pooches!

tsk, my dad was prone to falling, Mom tried not to leave him alone because he couldn't be trusted to stay put.  She had to run uptown to the grocery store one day and made him promise to just sit and watch tv. She got home 15 minutes later and he was on the floor in the garage. He had decided to sweep the garage while she was gone! It's good that Tim says he shouldn't have done that! Maybe he just needs to get used to being more careful...

tig, I think we all just need to be more careful! Glad you are okay!

Phyl, you did a beautiful job on the Thanksgiving pieces! I took a lot of ceramics classes back in the 70s! One year I made a lot of Christmas gifts, our home was broken into while we were at work on the night shift and the thieves took all of the presents under the tree. I always wondered what they thought when they saw what they got! I cried over all the work and thought I had put into each piece, and it was too late to do more. I made Mom a caroling scene the year before, she still puts it out every Christmas! It looked a lot like this one:

Lisa, sounds like we have a lot of ceramics experience in the Beak! I made so many things, still have several pieces! I was also in charge of pouring and firing for a good while! I loved that job!

KAREN    Tim wants to go to the wound clinic at the hospital but I have a feeling unless someone cancels we won't get in.  They only do upper body wounds two days of the week and one is tomorrow.  I suspect we will see if we can get in to the emergent care clinic in town.  He was 6'1" when I married him.  Now I think 5'11"  but he still has all the high shelves in the house  LOL

LANI  Didn't realize Shannon's movers hadn't arrived yet.  Today will be a fun day for her.  Aww  A dog puddle cuddle last night.  :)

CLYNN   Back in 2020 between July and the end of the year ( this is when we sold our place in Door County) Tim fell 13 times!   We had an appt to see a neurologist but it would be 6 months out...I think he got scared and really realized he needed to be careful and pay attention. Sometimes he doesn't make good judgements... He went a whole year without falling after that and now it's about 1 or 2 times a year.  It is astounding  - knock on wood - that he has never broken anything.  This is one of the reasons I don't go away now.  I don't feel like I can leave him alone safely.  He doesn't know that tho.  ;)    My Dad started falling a lot - often backwards - a sign of Parkinson's so I took him to a neurologist and that is what they diagnosed him with - altho later it turned out to be a variant. This began the end of things .
WOW  How crushing to have all those homemade gifts under the tree stolen.  I had a friend that happened to when they were at a funeral/wake.  Their house was robbed of all Xmas gifts.  That's how I learned that you always have someone stay at your house during those times.  Our last home was robbed in broad daylight.  I came home and scared them off but they got away with jewelry and all handmade pieces made by my Dad, and my charm bracelet I'd been filling for years.  Our bedroom was trashed.
My grandma had the same caroling scene!!!    What an amazing view of Windsor Castle - Had no idea it took that much space.

Sorry for the long post  ??? :o

Wow, Clynn, never thought Windsor was quite that big!   The thought of maintaining it, heating, cooling, repairing, landscaping, cleaning, etc is  mind boggling!  Makes the cost of running our little domains a pittance!  But, as tge saying goes, my home is my castle!

Tsk,  hopefully Tim can slow down and remain upright!  Falling is dangerous to ones health!  Lol.  Why does he want to go to the wound clinic?   Sounded like you fixed it up pretty good!   Tell him to stay out of medical places!   Sick folks go there!

PHYL    Love your AM prints.  You find lovely fall things to post.  Sent 365 to my Green Bay bro who coexists with turkeys in his wooded property.  ;D

KB    " Yikes, a mouse!"

KAREN    So true about my home being my castle!   Despite wearing a glove on the bleeder on his knuckle, he woke up at 3 AM with a wet glove, blood on the newly washed white bedspread, on the sheets and comforter.    We had to go to the ER.   Wound clinic had no appts available.  2 hr 20 min in the ER - Xray of arm - nothing broken - we knew that.  Put a dressing on that was leaking by the time we got home - Have done two soakings of bloody clothes today and two loads of wash.  Called wound clinic - Earliest date DEC
17th - NOT.. I said put us on the "someone cancelled list".  Sure enough a couple hours later we get a 10 AM appt for tomorrow - God is Good.    Curious,  I went and measured our toilet - Floor to the seat you sit on is 18.5"

LISA   Through all this today with Tim that's what I focused on - all the good things that have happened that we can be thankful for!

Tall Toilets...  lots of choices/variations that many are not knowledgeable on, that leads to buyers not getting what they thought they bought.
Keep in mind that the measurement is to the top of bowl rim, not to the top of seat rim.  Most seats are about 1 to 1.5 inch - some plastic ones are less than that.

Standard toilet from floor to rim is 14.5 to 15 inches.

ADA approved include...
Elongated toilets - comfort height at 16.5 inches
Tall elongated toilets ranging from 17" to 19" depending on brand and model.

Toilets seat risers can be added to any toilet that will add 3-6 inches in height of existing toilet.

Tsk, You had a robbery too! How sad to have lost family treasures.  :(. .....{{{Tim}}} I'm so sorry, I hope he can get help from the Wound clinic, sending prayers ...  I don't like to leave Mike either. He fell yesterday, helping me. He forgets he can't turn very well with his lower back problem. Top body wants to go one way, hips and legs don't agree.

Phyl, another puzzle making photos... beautiful wild turkeys in the crabapple trees.

Karen, Shannon's lease is for a year... you're having perfect weather for Thanksgiving... Piper's smart.  ;D

Lisa, Love your morning post, I'm thankful for all of you.  :-*

Oldguy, thanks for info, we added a 4" tp riser for Mike after hip replacement surgery.

I have a 7:30 Dr. appointment this morning, just the Medicare 6-month checkup.

Lani, I am so happy for you and Mike that Aly will be home for Christmas! And I know Sadie and Dewey will be so excited to see each other! Prayers for Mike, we don't need him to be falling. Like my Dad, they feel like they need to help. I think it's harder for men to accept that they can't do some of the things they used to do...  Love the sweet good night kitty! And the Pilgrim Yorkies!

BL, your peace and quiet with the night sounds and the shite snow...heavenly!

tsk, I am so glad to hear you have an appointment for Tim this morning! Wow, what did they expect you to do for 3 weeks? He might have run out of blood by then!!!  What an ordeal both of you have gone through!

Phyl, loved your morning pics, more puzzles! And those huge turkeys in the crabapple tree! How are you and Jim and Maggie doing? Your ceramics are beautiful!

Lisa, yes, thankfully we usually have more to be thankful for than not!

Sue Bruhling - Above and Beyond the Live Cam...
I do have a update on the Decorah Hatchery Eagles for you! Our 'Boots on the Ground" Larry Bellrichard and Cindy Bellrichard.
Last Friday which would have been November 15, 2024, they saw HM/Missy perched on a branch on N1! Great News!
Tells us they are still in the area and gives us a little Hope that maybe they will come back to N1! Or at least letting us know that they are still in the N1 & N2B area!!
Now we just wait and see what happens as time goes on. Do they stay over at N5 behind the Bluffs or come back and nest on N1 or N2B.... Only the Eagles know! 😉
Have a great day everyone! Remember don't let anyone take your Happy away! 🙂

TIG    What movie did you see?  Correct.  I hope I outlive Tim... ::)

BL    BRRR.  With only the sounds of the night...

LANI    (((Mike)))

CLYNN   Awesome dream catcher.    Didn't know you could get a 6 month Medicare checkup - Mine is yearly...So agree with you about maybe being more difficult for men to give up duties.  Another reason why I got a smaller tree.  No step stool involved.  ;)
Sure would be great to have HM and HD  be visible on camera again.  We've never seen that happen before and we've seen lots of firsts!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY # 10 for TALON

The outdoors is great!  Snow does seem to cushion  human noise!

We saw Gladiator 2... which, even tho' violent, was a better story than expected. And it was a treat to hear some of the music from the original movie that was written by Hanz Zimmer (our favorite composer).
We will see Wicked today.
I am viewing both movies because hubby wants to. I'm not a fan of violent fare, and not usually a fan of sequels and prequels. And I'm never a fan of horror pics... unless it is an old favorite with Bela, Boris...  :o

Tnx for the RRP updates

We had a slight scare last night before finding more info. (Actually, I'm the one that worries, Camper is much better at trusting God). There was an announcement (way late in the Medicare open enrollment window) that some provider systems would not be honoring certain Medicare Advantage plans next year! After doing the research, I found that the closest situation for us would be Mayo Clinic not accepting HealthPartners. Hopefully we will never need to go there.

Waiting for the plumbers to arrive sometime between now and 2 o’clock with two new parties and seats. They are bringing a 19 inch Kohler model and high seats. I hope no one falls off of these as it’s pretty far off the ground that should work for me thank heavens, their office was agreeable to taking these out and replacing them. Enough Patty talk now and time to thank everyone for their processing information and to think above where the pretty pictures this morning Nancy Lynn also just turkey is a cutie

Thank you all for the COOL birthday cakes and wishes for Talon! I will show them to him when he is here tomorrow!

Dr. visit fine, I am still alive! She was very pleased with my A1C (5.2) and that I have lost 20 pounds. BP still a wee bit higher than she would like but not enough to up the meds. So I am happy!

Puff, one of my favorites of Jeanne Robinson. She passed away in 2021, so her videos are treasures!  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=jeanne+robinson+dont+send+a+man+to+the+grocery+store&mid=E413F27471F2FE37B69CE413F27471F2FE37B69C&FORM=VIRE

Lisa, love the morning picture!

tsk, hope Tim was helped this morning at the wound center!  I verified with my doctor, they are able to see patients between yearly physicals, just to make sure your meds are working right and all that. My next yearly will be in February.

Phyl, more good puzzle pictures! Thanks for Amy's Blog, a lot like Sue's FB post!  I hope they stay at N1 next season!

Iowa Road Trip - Ledges State Park is just a few miles south of Boone, Iowa. Although the park features several overlooks, the most popular one is along Lost Lake Trail, which provides a view several hundred feet above the Des Moines River.

Western Mining History - This 1898 photo depicts Chilkoot Pass on the trail to the Klondike goldfields. The Klondike Gold Rush began in late 1896. Thousands of hopeful miners, known as "stampeders", were making their way to the Klondike via the Chilkoot trail from Dyea, Alaska. Canadian officials required that any person entering the region carry a full ton of supplies with them to ensure their survival in the harsh arctic climate. One of the men that made this trek recorded his experiences in a book, saying that it took forty trips to the top of this pass to haul all of his supplies.

LISA   All good at wound center.  However Tim fell again this afternoon ( I had told him to wait until I got back from Bible study) when he just had to leaf blow the rest of the leaves into the garden.  Fell backwards.  sigh.  On some ibuprofen and Tylenol.

OLDGUY   Cute greeting for Talon!

KAREN    "big jobs that got bigger instead of short jobs that got taller"  LOLOL

CLYNN  A+ on your doc report!!!   Beautiful overlook on Des Moines River .  Have you been there?  Western Mining history.  Now that would be an interesting book to read.  A whole other world.

.clynn - I recall seeing a closeup/enlargement of that Chilkoot Pass trek.  Think it was on a wall of a saloon/bar.  What caught my eye was a closeup of one of the ladies in the line dressed in high-laced ladies boots and wearing a skirt. 
As you said, it wasn't a one time trek up.  Back and forth, back and forth, up and down.

Interesting reading was "A Story of a Young Teacher in Alaska".   They taught her survival and she taught classes including hygiene and people skills.  I was still teaching myself at the time.  Men would go into fields to prospect and be gone sometimes 2 years.  He'd show up for a while then begone while she delivered another child (or not) and survived on her own.  Many ladies and churches from USA would do what they could to educate and preach and teach social skills. .  .  . and trek around in heeled shoes and long skirts/dresses.  Anyone interested and can't find a copy - I'll lend it/share it if you give me your address.  I wish I could recall where I saw that big blowup pic.

Lani, I love Dreamcatchers, there are so many different ways to make them, endless themes! Wouldn't it be fun to have N1 on the cam again! The eagles sure do show us that life changes and we go on... Mike has fresh bruises? Did he fall? Prayers for him, no more bruises!

Puff, one of my dear friends from Springfield was a Special Ed teacher in a small village in Alaska for a few years, she said it was an experience she could never have imagined. My department used our 'party money' at Christmas and sent gifts to the kids.

Phyl, the Green Bean Casserole! It's a classic! I am going to make Cranberry Fluff this year! Time to add something new. and the Munchkins might like it!

tsk, oh no, Tim is reminding me of my Dad again! You feel like you need to be there, can't trust him to sit and not get into trouble!

Western Mining History - Marble, Colorado is the location of one of the world's largest and highest quality marble deposits. The marble for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was quarried from the Yule quarry at Marble. The largest block took a team of 75 men an entire year and three attempts to finally get the piece they needed.

Sonnet 73: That time of year thou mayst in me behold

By William Shakespeare

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

Good morning 😃.   Foggy day at about 63 now, going to the 70’s.  Running about 6 degrees above normal now!   80 tomorrow! 
Phyl, Very funny cartoons. Hope you are ready for tomorrow’s big dinner.
Clynn, Iowa is a very pretty state and I always enjoyed my trips through but never spent any time there except in my car. Thanks for continuing to post for the pictures. I will be interested to hear if the kids will eat the cranberry fluff I am imagining that has whipped cream or Cool Whip in it, which might be enticing to them I think they always will go for a big bowl of mac & cheese.  Read an article about Thanksgiving sides, and the favorites by state and that was one that showed up on the list. I don’t remember now where it was but I think it might’ve been pretty much in the south.
Phyl, thanks for your cartoons. They were pretty funny and I have a green bean casserole from Publix in the refrigerator defrosting as we speak. Yesterday was  a bonnamzaday for me as a neighbor who works at the food bank brought home boxes full of food they had to get rid of because of an overload of produce and things that they were unable to give away.  Not enough customers for the abundance in the larder.   Cj
Hopped nuts, grapes, corn, strawberries all good!
Lani and tsk, hope you can keep your guys yoright and safe!   Not an easy job for any one!   I accept my limitations although ut does not always make me happy! 
Lisa,  any plans?   Good your blood sugar is down!  Think the ravens beat the chargers Monday!  Interesting as the coached of both teams are brothers!

Shall get ready for the day.   Plumber at 10 and cleaning gak at noon or a little after!


Clynn, see tge fluff recioe. Mlooks like the ine I used tomake w pinePple instead of cranberries.  Was my mothers recioe and a veey refreshing dish!

LISA   LOLOL   Tying Tim up - Now that is a good idea!!!

PHYL  Very funny cartoons last night.  ;D  Love that dog sleeping wherever  LOL   " What a day at your house"?    Cute AM characters  :)

PUFF  Thanks for the lead on that book - sounds fascinating.  Bet the library could come up with it.

LANI     LOLOL  YOu've got everyone measuring their toilets "  We are quite a group are we not!  ::) ::)   You had a good idea as well with the added touch of putting Lulu in his lap!!

CLYNN  Wow a "special ed" teacher in Alaska.  What a great thing to do for those kids.   A marble mine.  Never thought about where marble came from... ???   Cranberry fluff will be a hit for sure.  Let us know.   Just printed off cranberry fluff!!  Think I will use it for my dessert tomorrow!!

KAREN   How nice that the neighbor thought of you with lots of fresh food from the food bank.  Not wasted!!

So the AM started at 6:30 by hearing one of our "new" CO/smoke detector chirping  :o :o :o  All were changed in the home 2 years ago!!  Found it to be the basement one.  Called the company at 7.  Told me to just take the battery out and they would get there when they could.  Turns out the battery case is locked.   All things Youtube, I found a way to unlock it.  Opened the case and didn't even have to remove this never before seen lithium battery and the chirping stopped.

Before this however, I found a cat puke on the new carpeting in two areas..Got that cleaned first.  Finally by 8 AM I got my coffee and to my computer.

Fortunately the laughs I have found on here this AM have improved my day immensely!!

some bounce

Under the category... What's next?!??
My Chromebook began its final day of not being able to take a charge yesterday. We did some quick research on Best Buy black Friday sales and selected a new model. When we got to the store they tried to charge us a huge amount. The manager confirmed it was a different model. Long story short and decisions about warranty and Geek squad later... the item we wanted will be shipped to our house on Saturday. Meanwhile... we turned the Chromebook on and had enough charge left to ensure sync was enabled and we copied my downloads to a thumb drive. Phew.

Lani... when we got home last night Camper needed to deliver some pictures to a client. So we ate a quick dinner. Then... he replaced the batteries in the smoke alarm in the basement!!!
We also got a letter from Driver and Vehicle services that we had neglected to sign one form when we ordered our new license plates. We will go to the Deputy registrar this afternoon. Hopefully they will get it right this time!

TSK... Get some bubble wrap!  ::)
OldGuy .. lolol

Heads up:

Interesting that local industrial sites can cause this in our neck of the woods:


This morning, a hyper-local snowfall in the Shakopee area and northern Scott County resulted in slick conditions on County Road 101 and US-169.— in Shakopee, MN.
This likely came from the industrial facilities in the area, which seeded the clouds and caused the localized enhanced snowfall!
Additional information on the "cloud seeding" part mentioned above. By definition, cloud seeding is the modification of weather to increase the cloud's ability to produce rain or snow, which is precisely what caused this localized event.
ALL precipitation begins with condensation nuclei. These tiny particles in the atmosphere allow water vapor to condense, forming water and ice particles, which then fall as rain or snow, depending on the atmosphere's temperature profile.
Industrial facilities, for example, emit an abundance of tiny particles [pollutants] that can help enhance precipitation [cloud seed]. This morning's very low cloud deck and the cold temperature profile were the perfect recipe for this enhanced moisture in the clouds to fall as snow in this very localized area.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve, Beakers!  ;D

O law... I have a week of posts to catch up on! I'll get there... eventually! LOL.

I took Zippo to the vet last Friday - she was having respiratory issues. I'm giving her liquid antibiotics via syringe (no needle, natch) twice a day for 14 days.  :o Six days down as of tonight, and 8 to go. I hope my fingers survive  ::) ::) Holding a struggling-to-get-away parrot, who has a sharp beak and toenails, with one hand, while using the other hand to hold a loaded syringe with the plunger ready to go while trying to use the same hand to pry open her beak and get the syringe all the way past her tongue directly to the back at the throat and then plunge the yucky tasting medicine in before she manages to shake her head away to get it out of her mouth has been the kind of comedy that no one should want to be part of. Hiding it in her food was a total fail. The stuff tastes nasty, and she says her mama didn't raise no fool parrot!! Nuff said!

I'm not sure how much it has helped, but she's no worse and maybe a tad better. The good news is she isn't acting like a sick bird - she's eating normally, playing regularly with her "stuff," standing tall, not acting or appearing weak at all, and is physically and vocally interactive as she usually is. I couldn't get in to see her regular vet, who is very knowledgeable and experienced with birds, and very few vets here even see birds, and even fewer are as knowledgeable or experienced as I would like. But one of the vets they said I could try, who practices in a nearby beach town and treats birds and reptiles in addition to the usual cats and dogs and such, agreed to see Zippo and me the day after I called her office last Thursday. So we went to her small practice on Friday for that appointment, of course, and I was glad to get Zippo seen there. My regular vet couldn't see Zip till maybe, just maybe, right after Thanksgiving, as a possible fit-in, which would be way way too long to wait for a bird, and then that vet would be gone for 5 weeks!! The only other vet around here that my vet's office told me treats birds was also not able to see Zip till after Thanksgiving.

So, I've been spending extra time observing Zippo for tiny hints and signs of illness, injury, or other issues - you all know birds are famous for hiding illness or injury, as a survival behavior, to avoid appearing weak, which makes them more vulnerable to attack or being preyed upon. By the time they are so sick they can no longer hide their problem, it is sometimes way down the line too far to get them well again. So I'm glad that so far, she is no worse, maybe a bit better, and we will see how things go. Meanwhile, Zippo is loving the extra attention and treats. So fingers crossed that she will recover by the time the course of antibiotics is done.  :)

Zippo and I will spend Thanksgiving Day at my place. I decided to do a pork roast. I'm going to make succotash, and I'm cooking sweet potatoes tonight to prep for tomorrow. Zippo loves sweet potatoes, so I will keep some cooked sweet potato separate for her from the ones I will make for me. I'm going to make mashed sweet potatoes tomorrow, with all the yummy add-ins of butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and half and half... maybe I'll top them off with some marshmallow, but not sure yet. Even though I'm doing a pork roast with lots of onions in the roasting pan, I have to have dressing and turkey gravy! LOL! So I'm going to do a bit like some other Beakers, and make Stovetop Turkey Dressing, add some extras to it, and make turkey gravy for that. LOL. I can't wait - I love all that stuff, and rarely eat any of it except at holidays. Mmm...  :D

Otherwise, I have been busier than usual, and some days I have not even turned on my PC or checked email. I have been getting in good walks most days, too. So I have a lot to catch up on with everyone in The Beak!  I hope all are doing well!  :)

Meanwhile...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!  :) :-*

CLYNN    I guess if it weren't true I would take that 70s Weight Watchers recipes as a joke! Who would eat that stuff?

BAZI   Hard enough to give a cat a pill/syringe.  Can't imagine - altho you gave a very vivid description of doing it - giving syringe to a wriggly parrot!  Hope it continues to work for sweet Zippo. :-*   Wish our pets didn't get sick when our vets were inaccessible.

The smell of these hearth, fireplace and wood stoves oh my

I already sucked down a turkey leg just for medicinal purposes.

It was perfectly seasoned succulent and fried to perfection in the vat °.

We were summarily berated by the yams.

And then they ate the turkey legs too .. omg.

Good night!
This is my new little great niece Bailey. She's my sister's newest preemie grandbaby girl 3lbs. born yesterday at 1am in the morning. This is my sister's daughter 2nd little girl born early due to Pre-eclampsia. You remember two years ago her first daughter was also born prematurely because of high-blood pressure and other difficulties. Anyway, isn't she beautiful. She's just perfect, and will be in the hospital for 3 weeks or more. Bailey's mama is feeling fine and resting.  :-*

Erin & Family are coming for their 2nd Thanksgiving Dinner at 5:30, so I have all day to get everything ready! I will make the French Coconut and Pecan pies this morning, and the Cranberry Fluff! The rest can wait until around 3:00!

Lani, Congrats to your sister on her new little one, she looks so sweet and perfect! I feel bad for Mike, especially when he was trying to help you like he always has. I am learning that it is not easy getting older and having limitations on what you can do. I will not drive at night or in the rain because it's hard enough without eye problems, and the arthritis in my hands and arms makes me be very careful about what I do! When I get groceries, I ask them not to make the bags heavy! But I can still play Pretty Pretty Princess with Bella! She wrote her Christmas list for me:

BL, where are you at for Thanksgiving? It sounds wonderful, wherever it is! Is there a man who doesn't love a turkey leg?

tsk, those were actual recipe cards from WW!!!  Gawd, they were awful, and what she writes about each one is hilarious!  How is Tim doing? It is scary to have to be so careful about what one does...

baz, oh my goodness! I so agree with tsk, it's hard enough to try to give a pill to a cat, I cannot imagine a big bird!  You are a good Mama for Zippo!  Even if she hates you for a few minutes! I hope the meds get her back to normal soon!  At least you got your walks in!

Lisa, I knew those were Vienna Sausages, an every day food from my childhood! I didn't care for them but my sister Cathy loved them! I would sneak mine under the table to her... 

oldguy, hope you have a wonderful feast today, it sounds like it will be!

CLYNN  Made a half recipe of the cranberry fluff and we had it for dessert. It was a hit!!  Liked the tip about not adding the pecans til serving.   Tim asked for a second helping - I said no and hid the rest in the back of the frig.   ::) ::)

SSRL   Good to see you.  Now you can do jumping jacks with that new new knee.  LOL  OOPS I mean gardening  ;) ;)

What is the difference between hot dogs and Vienna sausages?

Vienna sausage - Wikipedia
Wieners sold in Europe have a taste and texture very much like North American hot dogs, but are usually longer and somewhat thinner, with a very light, edible casing. European Vienna sausages served hot in a long bun with condiments are often called "hot dogs", referring to the long sandwich as a whole.

3 items containing the same ingredients, but with different casings and different cooking methods are...
American hot dogs
American bologna
North Europe Vienna sausages

Deserts - apple pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, lemon meringue pie, ice cream, whipped cream, gluten free bread with blue berries.

Needless to say, I am stuffed and tired after preparing and cleaning dishes - heading to bed early tonight, need to be a work at 7am for Black Friday Sale...

Phyl, more perfect puzzle pictures! Beautiful snowfall in the Bigwoods 365, busy squirrel and lady cardinal! So did Jim get his fill of turkey? Does he like the leftovers? I cooked a 3 lb Butterball turkey breast and a 3 lb Hormel ham so some good sandwich leftovers! Sent half of the leftovers home with Erin, except for the Cranberry Fluff! I cleaned up the kitchen this morning, I was too tired last night to do it! Ed washed most of the dishes that wouldn't fit in the dishwasher, that was a first! That's why I am late this morning! Marie Callender makes wonderful pies!

Lani, yes, it was lovely having the kids here but boy, I was worn out! Talon and Bella were wound up, they must have had plenty of sugar earlier! Erin and Sydney are dropping them off sometime today so they can shop, so we'll get another dose of Munchkins! My sister Cathy could sit and eat a whole can of cold Vienna Sausages out of the can too! I think they are like Spam, they have different flavors now! Smoked, BBQ, Chicken... Did you and Mike have a nice Thanksgiving? I'm sure you missed having Shannon there...  Wow Bailey must be very healthy if she only has to be in the NICU for three weeks! She will be home for Christmas!

oldguy, what a feast you had! Wonderful variety of good eats, what are Party Potatoes? I have had to add Mac and Cheese to my menu for the Munchkins. My pies were French Coconut and Pecan, no one requested pumpkin! I remember years ago when Ed's sister Peggy and I got up at the crack of dawn to go to Springfield Menard's Black Friday sale, we were in the crowd waiting for the doors to open. OMG, it was pure bedlam, in the checkout line (which snaked all around the store) for well over an hour. Picking up good buys along the way... Hope the day goes fast for you!

tsk, funny about the turkey legs, I bet Tim was looking forward to a leftover! Men and their turkey legs! Glad you liked the cranberry dish, I loved it! My mother makes a cranberry dish, but I would call it a relish. She grinds up fresh cranberries, and I am sure there is some orange peel in there! It is cooked on the stove, I do not know what else is in it... I always eat some although not my favorite! I remember she used to make what Cathy and I called 'carrots held together with jello'. Grated carrots mixed in with lime jello. Jello was pretty popular back then! I wasn't caught up, we didn't eat until 5:30 so it was just a lull when I posted earlier!

karen, love the sidewalk funny! Hope you and Piper had a good day!

Lisa, hope you and Jeff had a good Thanksgiving! Miss Bella likes all kinds of jewelry, I think she has a few good pieces but mostly the little girl stuff you find on the rack at Kohls or Walmart... I am going to get her a good pair of earrings. The nails is what surprised me, she wants fake nails! I have seen them at Walmart for little girls, I bet they don't stay on long. Like the little girl nail polish, it doesn't last long.

baz, hope you and Zippo had a good Thanksgiving too!

Erin's Family Thanksgiving picture!                                      Samantha, Sydney, Skyler, Sayde and Bella!

You betcha!...getting up to 17 today..

Nope no walk today Ollie man, even with a coat on ya. In my 50's and 60's Scott and I would hike in the woods with our double fur coated German Shepherd to 11 above. That was our cut off. Today, in my 70's and a one fur coated pup, Ollie, I won't walk below low to mid 20's! :D

So, tig, what are you doing inside today?...I'm probably just going to read a good book.

Royal Albatross Cam
Ranger Sharyn Broni Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)

Season 10 of Royalcam

Nest site:Signal Station Trig

Pair: RLK (Red, Lime, black) 12-year-old male and GLG (Green, Lime Green) 14-year-old female.

This pair started breeding in 2019/20, but their egg failed that season. They successfully raised two female chicks during 2021 and 2023 respectively. Their nests during these seasons were not far from the Royalcam nests of Tiaki and Manaaki and the chicks were seen on cam later in the season.

See this page for previous Meet the Royal family information: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/royal-cam/meet-the-royal-family/

GLG laid her egg on 11th of November 2024, it has been candled and is fertile. RLK and GLG will take turns to incubate the egg for 2.5 months.

Productive tig!...btw when did we all start calling stuffing, dressing? I couldn't find it at Lunds pre made cause I was looking online forever for stuffing.....grr....Dressing is for salads is it not? All the pre made food I bought there this year was great. Instead of turkey bought their kentucky legend petite ham. Best ham I've ever bought. uh hum, their stuffing was great too! :D

KB... research says it is interchangeable... stuffing vs dressing. There are regional preferences. Also... perhaps a religious preference ( stuffing doesn't sound "nice"). My 100% German Mom always called it dressing... she got the recipe from a German lady next door. And she called it that even though she used to stuff the bird with a small amount (wrapped in cheesecloth).  :D

Google says this:
If you're a Northerner heading to your Southern in-laws, you should make an effort to call it dressing, and if you're a Southerner heading up North for Thanksgiving, don't be surprised if everyone looks at you like you might as well be from Mars for not calling it stuffing.

My Norwegian ancestors always called it stuffing....LOL...they indeed are Northerners.

Good Afternoon Beakers

I am late today, but I have been out shopping those sales.   :D

tsk - LOL, you hiding the cranberry fluff on Tim! Hope you had a good day.  I agree with your statement, we do learn alot of things here in the Beak.  :D

oldguy - Wow, on your Thanksgiving meal, everything sounded delicious.  Thanks for the info on Vienna and hotdogs.  :)

tig - Mmm, that brownie dessert sounded good. 

Lani - The Marie Callendar's was good.  I was surprised, and it cut very nicely too.  Hope you and Mike had a nice day.  Yay, and new season of Royals coming up!

Phyl - Love all your morning pics!  Hope you enjoyed your pie, too! Thanks for the 365.

clynn - Great pics of Erin & family, and Sydney and her sisters.  I love their names.  Oh, I bet Bella will love her jewelry you will get her for Christmas, and the nails  ;D

kb - Brrr, did you ever warm up some?  My family in the South calls it dressing.  My family here in Maryland calls it stuffing.   :)

karen, Puff, and all - Afternoon  :)

No snow on the ground though. But, that isn't all that unusual to have a brown Christmas here.

CLYNN  Speaking of puzzles - the 16 cats is a humdinger!   I have an excellent recipe for cranberry relish that I made for years when I was serving the masses  LOL  - SIL Barb and Uncle Jim are the only ones that like fresh cranberries and Barb isn't here for Thanksgiving anymore so I don't go to the trouble.   I think Erin and Sidney have always resembled each other in smiles.  Nice pics - just don't get the "shredded" jeans look  LOLOL

LANI   So we are watching a different Albatross couple this season :)   Hope it wasn't too lonely for your Turkey day  :-\

KB   Stuffing is when it is cooked inside the turkey   Dressing is when it is just baked.  That's how I understood it.  I see tho, lots of regional preferences.

PHYL   The jaguar corridor initiative sure makes sense.

LISA   I'm proud of you - you mingled with the masses!!!  LOL  Did you find some good deals??

Made my turkey soup today and set up the Advent projects in the church gathering space.  Tomorrow start with Advent décor in church.  Also got gift baskets sent out to nieces/nephews.  I'm beat!

Good evening Beakers!  47 now and we are on a freeze watch!  The temps below 32 degrees will not last long and I can take my orchid  plant back out to the porch.
Piper and I had a reheated version of yesterday s dinner.  Love dressing!  Nothing to stuff!


Lisa, thanks for posting the  Eastern version of the grand.canyon!

Tsk, do you make turkey soup out of the Brest?  What  is your recipe?   You were a busy bee today,  did Tim behave while you were gone?

Clynn, like Tsk, the jeans  are  not a good look!   Lolol!   Cannot even go to goodwill!  Lolol.  Otherwise, wonderful keepsake pictures!   Bella and talon have really grown up!   I hope there will be collections
for both of them cataloguing their lives!   If the only record is on line I wonder if the technology to view it will exist  20 years from now!

Phyl, your dinner sounds delicious as does every bodies.  Did Jim enjoy it?    On of my favorite meals as well!   Fun and pretty morning pictures!

Lani, thanks for the Royal report!
Old Guy, I bet you are exhausted!  I went to Home Depot
Depot . Garden Center for Paper White bulbs today and .i could not even get a chuckle from the cash!er    I did not even ask for help.  Got my bulbs , checked out and left.   Stopped in Michaels  for help with a door decoration and found out they stopped doing that.  Probably during Covid!   Have to call a local florist!
No local deals here!

Kb, Tig, interesting "stuffing or dressing " discussion....  while watching the Chief/Raiders's game the sports gal asked that question of the players.. it was half/half. In Kansas I learned to what is stuffed into the turkey is "stuffing" and what's baked outside of the turkey in a casserole dish is called "dressing" like "Oyster dressing" ... but to each's own. At this stage of my life I'm not changing. LOL! ... stay warm  ;D

Lisa, your brave to go out today! Glad you were able to get a few good deals....  Mike had to meet his soon to be new boss in Gila Bend today. He said the freeways were busy... thanks for posting Karen's FB post. But, in reading the comments below the pic, they said it was fake.  ???

Good Evening Beakers

It was a hectic day at work today - but not packed like 5 years ago.  Never more than 5 people in a checkout line, so not a long wait to get thru and out the door.  Our Black Friday Sale runs from Friday thru Monday - but a lot of items were sold out by noon - the store opened at 6am.

From my stepson who is a prep cook in a restaurant.
In Iowa, health dept. does not allow food (stuffing or giblets) to be cooked inside of a turkey at restaurants.  So it will be always be labeled as dressing on the menus, so as to not lead a customer to think it was cooked inside of the bird.  In order for stuffing to get to 165 degrees inside of the cavity, the outside of the bird would be over cooked, according to him, as chicken/turkey meat can legally be served at 145.

Spam is a mixture of pork shoulder and ham hock meat. - the big difference is that the meat is cooked after the can is sealed.  This results in the meat shrinking in the can and having juices/fat around the meat chunk.  This is the same method that is used in Canned Ham, with the same results.

This music group is 2 brothers that grew up in Ecuador (Pueblo Imbaya Native Community) - they have lived in New Mexico for about 10 years now.  They have posted many songs on You Tube - check out their site if you like their music...

KAREN    I did not have a turkey carcass this year so I had bought turkey wings which I had baked and then threw in my big pot with lots of boxed broth.  I do not have a recipe.  I throw in leftover gravy, dressing if I have it, carrots onions, celery seasonings and noodles or barley and of course turkey whatever I have.

LANI   How did the meeting go with Mike's new boss?   Hope it wasn't a hard transition at this stage. :-\   Gosh I 'm dismayed at the fact that you can't believe anything you see anymore.  Peaceful goodnight moonlit photo  :)

OLDGUY    Spam, the meat is cooked after the can is sealed???  Wonder how they do that?   Like the sound of Inka Gold   Boy, those hedgehogs could be a full time job !  Awww  Jax got a good home.   If my math is right that ship is over 3 football fields long!!!  :o

Phyl, great morning cat pics! Especially the cat with the umbrella! 13 here right now, high today 28. Brrr! TWC says it will be 48 on Wednesday, but cold until then and after! I will have one more day to get the last bit of leaves from the crooks and crannies that Erin didn't get on Wednesday. The city extended leaf pickup for one more week. I imagine they got a lot of calls because many trees are late shedding their leaves this year!

Lori, good morning! How are you doing these days? Hope Mike's meeting went well!  Stovetop Stuffing breaks the rules! What if they had called it Stovetop Dressing? Most probably would have wondered... Never heard of Hot Dish before living in Duluth. Wonder what they call the Jello salads?  ;D

tig, you started it... ::)

oldguy, that's good news about the store, maybe I will venture out next year since it's not as much of a mad house as it used to be! Love the Hedgehog Express! And the adopted cat story, so glad he found a home. WOW on that ship! Holy mackerel! I have been on the bridge when a ship went through but never one like that. They used to let people stay on the part of the bridge for 25 cents, when it went up, you could look down on the ships!, for 25 cents.

Lani, a quiet and peaceful Thanksgiving at your house...not so here.  Bella can liven up the atmosphere anywhere! I had the Munchkins for a few hours yesterday while Mom & Dad shopped Black Friday deals. We did some art work, twice! And she played with her baby dolls!  Talon did the usual, playing games on his phone and walking around with a cane...  Pooped out again, Ed ordered a pizza!

tsk, we used to call that 'crap soup' when Mom just threw anything left over into the soup!  If it ever comes up for a vote, I would vote that anything AI be markes as such! It does create beautiful pictures but now we can't believe everything is real... Like you, I do not understand what is so hot about the torn up jeans (not to mention the draft up your legs in the winter!), but it has been going on for years now!

BL, good tunes!

karen, Sydney also has some jeans with holes, although not as bad as those in the girl's picture! I offered to buy her a pair of jeans if she couldn't afford them, she just laughed. We both know she paid more for those than she would have for a nice pair!!

Temp is 33° here this morning, with a real feel of 24°.  Brrrr!

tig - LOL, I have never heard of "hot dish" till I came to Beak room. 

karen - You're welcome.   :)

BL - Thanks for the tunes.

Lani - Oh wow, I didn't read the comments below on the pic!  Hope all went OK with Mike's new boss.

oldguy - Sorry it was a hectic day, but glad it was not too busy for you. 

Phyl - Love your cats in hats this morning.

clynn - Great Caturday pics!  From the pics of the munchkins, it does look like they wore you out!  ;D  Love the 1954/2024 pic. 

Puff - Sure sounds like a nippy day for you!

Oldguy, I did not know about that info on spam or canned ham, very interesting.... I'm not a spam fan myself, we ate a lot of it growing up. My mom cooked it with pineapple.  Mike still loves to eat spam micro cooked till crisp... To this day I can't stand pineapple cold/hot or as a drink .... Loved the Hedgehog story. I wonder if he'll move the hedgehogs with him when their new home is built. They will be so spoiled. LOL! ... awesome ship video!

Hi Lori beautiful cake for Blschue ;D

Tsk, Mike enjoyed meeting his young new boss to be. When the final agreement is signed, I'll share the Washington state company's name, with info about it. Mike said he wished he was 20 years younger and able to be part of the new company's future. Lots of changes will occur, but the future of Mike's current company will continue and current employees with it. I pray it will be a good blending and not too many bumps in the road...

Phyl, My sister, her daughter and family are hoping Bailey will be allowed to be home for Christmas. But, there will be limitations on how many family members can be seen with her. Right now only Bailey's parents are allowed to be near her. It may be a couple of weeks before other family members are allowed. My sister and BIL haven't been allowed to see her.... funny cat video, love the cat's map....

Clynn, love your Caturday pics! Great pics of the munchkins! Miss Bella looks very grownup.... awww that poor cat doesn't want his hoarding stash taken away... what a great pic of mom and her boys.... I have a pair of jeans with holes, and shredded hems that I wear when I do firewising. I feel very instyle when working outside. LOL!!!

Hi Puff, Tig, Kb,

Baz, How bout' them Chiefs!  8)

Lisa, Mike like his new 30's something boss very much!  ;D When we've been invited to someone's home, I'll ask if I can bring something. They'll say bring a hot dish for the appetizer table or potluck. So, I'll bring a savory appetizer, hot artichoke or spinach dips, hot cheese dips, sausage balls, etc, anything like that. I guess it could be a midwestern thing, but' I've been asked the same thing here.

Happy Birthday Blschue!

GoodAfternoon!  Chilly day and will have   to bring some plants in tonight!  Will cover a hanging basket with a garbage  bag and hope for the best!  Too heavy tor me to get off the hanger.
Sorry for having Lisa post what turns out to be a fake picture .I did not research this and after spending 2 1/2 years driving up and down the roads in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina,
 I never questioned the validity of the picture.  even if it is fake,  The area is very beautiful.  Thanks Leilani for pointing this out.
Old guy the Ecuadorian brothers produced some beautiful music. The sound is great. I don’t know where you find some of these videos but thanks a lot.
Tsk, your turkey soup sounds wonderful and a great dish for cold weather. Sorry Tim doesn’t have another turkey leg to munch  on today. I still have some turkey left but don’t care whether I eat it or give it to Piper. I will unfortunately probably finish the dressing and the green bean casserole ,

I probably should throw it out..

Clynn,  think the torn jeans are going out of
 style.  Maybe a patch or, Jean shorts?  Lol

Hi, phyl.

Happy Birthday, Bischue!  Enjoy your day. I hope all is well with you and yours.

CLYNN   Cats with hats this AM  ;D      Jello salads  LOL   Bella is quite the artist.  Love her outfit with the red accent belt?  :D   I agree, that is one fad - torn jeans - that has held on for a long time.   How cool is that for Mom to he held up by her twin sons 70 years later  ;D    Love the look on the cats face with the stash.  ;D ;D

PUFF   And a nippy day it was.  :)

OLDGUY   Cool card for Bischue!

LANI  Awww  cute AM photo  :D   Thanks for info on Mike's company eventual merger.  All people in Mike's company can stay on  ;D
LOL  My working outside jeans have holes too but I didn't pay for them  LOLOL

KAREN   Never fear.  Tim found some turkey legs at Whole Foods today!!  I said I'll show you where the cooking bag is and the directions and it is all yours!!!

LISA  Burgers on the Forman tonight with tater tots and leftover green beans.  We finished off the turkey soup at lunch.  Barb should be landing soon from Birmingham - where she and Tom spent Thanksgiving with their son and 4 grandgirls. ( Tom flew back to Naples and will return in about a week.  This was supposed to be when Tim would go down to be with him.  :( :( )     -I put some turkey soup in her fridge for her dinner tonight.  Another friend is picking her up as I'm almost swearing off night driving esp in the O'Hare area.

OLDGUY   Very interesting piece on Waffle House    Awww  Martha the boxer and the squirrels.  Cute story   Winnie and Marlee another great story  :'(

{{{SED Karen}}} It is a beautiful photo, I'm sorry those who left comments thought it was fake... I always take the time to read comments on videos and Facebook, you never know what you miss... we still have turkey, mash potatoes, gravy, I finished the green beans/stuffing.  ;D. Sadie is allergic to turkey and chicken, so I share bits with Norman and Milo.

Lisa, I'm ready for something different too, I'm baking halibut for Mike and salmon for me tomorrow night.. I'll steam talapia for Sadie and cats as a treat.

Oldguy, what great dog stories, Martha/Squirrels and Marlee/Winnie.... thanks for Simon video, my cats make their own rules.

Tsk, so Barb will be home for the holidays? Poor Tim, maybe next year he'll be able to visit his brother in Naples again. I didn't pay for the holes in my jeans either.  ;D

SED Phyl, love the cat chart, reminds me of our vet's wall... love your good night pic.

Good night!

Lani, I agree, it is very hard to tell these days if an image is AI or real. One thing I try to do is 'search the web for image', sometimes it will say there if it is AI. We finished off out Thanksgiving leftovers yesterday, I am thinking of something different for tonight! I think I have some Schwan's salmon in the freezer! We all like that! Sweet sleeping dogs picture...

Phyl, love the good night picture! And the cat chart! I think it would be wonderful if we could talk with our pets. Check out this FB reel:
https://www.facebook.com/reel/906328641592345

tsk, aww, sorry Tim has to skip the Florida trip with his brother this year, and there goes your little vacation! He found some turkey legs! Bella's outfit is one she got for Christmas last year, it was a little big and now it fits perfectly! It's Christmasy below the belt.  There is a store in Fairfield (by Mom's) that has a kid's clothing store, Sassy Southern Girls Boutique that Sydney loves to shop! That's where she got the outfit.

The strange case of the Cook pine trees, that tilt by 8.55° towards the equator, whatever the zone they live on Earth.

Haooy Birthday Lil Bro!  Stopin simetime!

Phyl, The picture of the two cats I posted yesterday was only the bottom part of a cartoon I can no longer find the whole cartoon. I don’t know where it went. It was a picture of a couple lying in a bed sleeping, and the two cats were at the foot of the bed. The cats were talking and one side to the other. Isn’t it sweet how they curl up at the foot of our bed every night.

To be clear, I was not googling for pictures of North Carolina when I found the fake version of the Lynnville Borge appeared in a list of posts from people in the area and hence I didn’t feel I needed to research the validity of it. However, I accept that it was a fake and again the area is beautiful whether that one is fake or not. Thanks for understanding.

Will finish off The green bean casserole and cornbread dressing this afternoon actually around noon. There is a little turkey left and Piper and I will eat that as well. Any leftover dressing will go down the garbage disposal and we will be on to normal food again I do love the holiday fare  however, and could eat it all the time except I don’t think it’s a healthy diet , tasty though.

 

Lani cute puppy puddle last night. Hope you enjoy your feast of fish. I will probably start that Monday as I have a lot of salmon in the freezer some shrimp as well but it really isn’t they very good..

Today is another day for football and I was happy to see some of the college winners yesterday I think I enjoy the outcome and the atmosphere of football games better than the actual game. L O L
How to get the day started and take care of some plants that I brought in the house last night and also have one outside with the bag over the top .temperatures in the upper 40s nearing 50 now so I don’t think they’re going to freeze now. Have a good day.

Note, thr impatients made it!  Want to keep them until the new year and then start some wave petunias!   The hummers live thrm!

Lani, not a problem!
 
Oh, I think the party  potatoes  are like cheesey potato s with a different name!

Clynn, Love your morning pics....  I bought Schwan's items for 35+ years, Schwan's stopped truck delivery in AZ last December 2023 https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/09/24/yelloh-schwans-closing-food-delivery/75361514007/ . Now, you have to shop online, which I won't do.... Schwan’s Co, a food distributor with deep roots in Minnesota known for its gold home-delivery trucks, has been sold to South Korea’s largest food manufacturer. In 2018 Seoul-based CJ CheilJedang will pay $1.8 billion for an 80 percent stake in Schwan’s and gain control of its businesses that serve restaurants, grocery stores and other retailers.... interesting about the Cook pine trees.... Cat is probably speaking Spanish LOL!

Tsk, Enjoy your visit with Barb.  :)

Phyl, we watched Reagan last weekend on Apple, very good... thanks for nature video...

Hi Lori, delicious cake for Lilbro  ;D

{{{Karen}}} I do understand, no worries, I'm embarrassed I mentioned it.  :-*

tig and tsk- whew is right!...I almost gave up and wanted to stop watching. I have no idea why the recent iteration of the Vikings (last 4-5 games or so?) need to put us through the wringer in order to win the game. Early on in the season I thought they were so much better and have no idea what the heck has happened even though we win.

I do notice out of all the conferences we are still behind the lions at 10-2 and yet none of the others are as close. A tough conference this year NFC North is.

But we have the talent and need to play a lot better in order to succeed at the end. Rumor is our new quarterback might threaten to leave already next season.

Kb, it was a tough weekend for football, whether college or pro, tempers were hot!

Oldguy, you always introduce wonderful new voices to the Beak... The Libera Boys Choir was wonderful, such angelic voices. Enjoyed Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence... and Girl named Tom was fantastic, very interesting name... Trans-Siberian I need to watch.

LANI    Yes, Tom will be back next Monday.  Now is when Tim was supposed to be down there with him.  Tom will be coming back on his original ticket.    They didn't mention a lot of damage from the hurricanes.  The infamous Naples pier has been closed from a couple hurricanes ago  :( :(        Aww an ear blanket  :-*

BISCHUE   How wonderful to be able to hook up with other women's RV groups.  Maybe give it a try?

CLYNN  BUMMER.  What a way to start a week!  I can barely read the Beak from my phone much less post from it.

LISA  Like the AM coffee and cookies.  Made a batch of cranberry, pistachio cookies yesterday..  Have several things I want to make for neighbors goodie bags and to take home on the 12th when I see my brothers and SILs  Is Misty a good girl at the vet?

tsk - Your cranberry, pistachio cookies sound delicious.  Misty is a good girl at the vet.  I was telling Jeff on the way home, she only meowed a few times in the car, and did not bite or scratch the vet.  She is nothing like Bandit when I take him to the vet.  He wants out of the carrier as soon as I get in the car to head there and back.  He likes to ride on the console.  Like your morning greeting. 

karen - Glad to hear that all went well at the cardiologist, and you had a good BP!  Misty needs to go on a lil diet.  She gained 3lbs since last December.   ::)  Fatty Patty for sure!

KAREN    Good news.  Good to have the cuff recalibrated occasionally.

LISA   When we used to take Lucy to Door county her carrier would be in the front seat.  Once we were on the road, we let her roam the car ( had litter set up on back seat floor).  She loved to sit on the console as well.  But then if she wanted to sleep she went in her carrier - we'd leave the top door open.

I purchased tickets in June to these sold out shows we attended tonight. At a neighboring 102 yr. old restored theater. Annual performance or the movie White Christmas. Preceded by a 20 minute piano and vocalist presentation of songs relating to Rosemary Clooney. And that was preceded by a half hour organ concert on the Wurlitzer that rose from the orchestra pit.

Hello Beakers

We got an unexpected snow fall this morning - about 1/2 in. - not much melting today, but should be gone in the next day or two as temps get above freezing.
At least we are not getting buried like Ohio, Penn., and NY the past 3 days from the lake effect snow - much of the area has gotten 50 to 65 inches in 3 days.

Lani -  ;D diet after the holiday for Misty.  The vet suggested putting her on indoor dry cat food, as that has less calories than regular dry cat food. 

oldguy - I had wondered if you got snow, since Decorah had a nice falling yesterday.

tig -  The theater is beautifully restored. 

tsk - Awww, Lucy the traveler.  I bet Misty would be ok for a car ride for a couple hours, but Bandit, I doubt it.  He use to love to ride around Town with Jeff, then all of a sudden he didn't want anything to do with it anymore.

clynn, Puff, karen, kb, Phyl, and all - Morning  :)

TIG   What a wonderful evening you had!.     We have something very similar in my town built in 1928 also with the rising Wurlitzer.    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickwick_Theatre  It has a new owner now and talk is of bringing back live shows.  Tim's Uncle Bob used to manage the theater for years back in the days.  Has his picture taken with the celebrities who performed there.

OLDGUY   Would make me think twice about an orange cat  LOL      Claire and her award winning cats  ;) ;)   Bellamy and her puppet was cute.  She's learning more complicated pieces on the keyboard.

LISA  Beautiful Xmas morning photo.   Interesting what your vet said.   When we got LUCY from the shelter she was over weight.  Vet said give her only dry kibble as a treat.  She would lose weight on a wet food diet!!!!   And she did over time lose about 5#s   How vets can be so different.

tsk - My vet wants Misty to eat wet food, cause it is better for them as they get water from the wet food, and less calories then dry food.  Misty is not really a wet food eater.  She will eat some, but not alot.  Forgot to say too, but if she won't eat the wet, he said to do the indoor dry food.

Good morning bakers love all your morning pictures
Fill your temperatures are higher than we have down here and we do not look like we’re going to have any real nice weather until next Monday when we’re back in the 70s as a high for the day in the meantime I’ve got a couple more nights of having to keep my impatience covered to try to save them since the weather is going to warm up so much. I hate like the devil forward to freeze but who knows there’s always more seeds to plant.
All I found out from the cardiology visit was that I was the same as the last time I visited and they made an appointment for me in February so I guess I am expected to stay on this side of the side until then that is good news
Plan to do a few errands today wants to help arrives and will be back later. Oh and tsk I’ll have a couple of those cookies and I love restored movie theaters .I guess I really am a fan of all restored buildings anywhere or of any kind.
When my mother took me to the movies as a child, there were frequently live performances before the show one time, Michael Jackson was performing as a little kid. It was really a treat, and I hate that it stopped
Lisa and  Tsk, Good stories about the kitties in the car. I would be afraid they’d get stuck under the seat and run out when the doors were open. Good on you both for having fun with them at home and away.. I had a friend who had two orange cats and one was kind of a biter and I learned  to watch her all the time , the other was the  most beautiful cuddly sweetest thing I ever saw so I guess it’s like anything there’s differences in the individuals

I finally got our accounts balanced and bills paid, (on the new Chromebook) for now. Phew.
I'm off to pick up an Amazon order at Cub and make my annual purchase of spirits mixers for Tom and Jerrys. Other than that I'm resting my hip today, which is somewhat better. I postponed my annual good house cleaning for a few days.

The internet is back! The Mediacom guy fiddled and checked everything, then it started working. He couldn't find anything wrong except that maybe it was the modem starting to fail. It's several years old, so we ordered a new one to have on hand. Luckily it was Cyber Monday, got it for half off! We got around 2-3" of snow Sunday night, NOT in the forecast! 33 today, 41 tomorrow so it will be gone!

Lani, great Royal Alby updates! GLG's nest looks more like a nest than the ones we have seen in the past! Love their courtship behavior!

Phyl, oh so many live cam moments to choose from! I didn't see that there was a limit that one could vote for! I am still watching them!  Thanks for Amy's Blog and love  the Christmasy pics!

Lisa, my kitties eat both wet and dry. All three of them are so picky, they will like something, I order 12/24 cans and then they turn their nose up. Harley is on the chubby side, he could stand to lose a little! They all love treats, they are the first cats I have had that like treats!

tsk, Harley, the orange cat, will nip at us occasionally. Sometimes it's 'pet me only 3 times' and if you try to do more you will get nipped. He doesn't really bite, just puts his teeth on you!

This shadow on the Superstition Mountains, Apache Junction, AZ, the cougar, only appears twice a year for approximately a week just as the sun is setting.  It was amazing to watch...I'm filled with gratitude having been there to witness.  Second picture:  Highway going into Oatman AZ

PHYL  Cute decorations from nature.  There is something I love about a red cup with white dots  ;D ;D  Thanks for Amy's blog.  I"ll get back to the Explore link.  Looks like fun.

LANI   Thanks for the Royals update.  I remember the names from past nests.

TIG   Sounds like you have plenty to do without housecleaning  :-*

LISA  Thanks for Karen's post.  Lulu lives for her treats ( Temptations)  LOLOL  She even likes those push up ones that Lucy never liked.
She literally tells time and starts pestering Tim at about 7:45 when he fills her treat mouse and she rolls it around on the floor till the treats come out.  Then at exactly 9PM she comes upstairs to my nest and lets me know she is ready for her night time treats which is either the push up treat or I put 5 treats in a puzzle and she has to sniff them out .  She has to wait tho until I go to bed LOLOL

Karen, gorgeous mountains, love the tint of blue and pink at sunset, it's like the AZ valley during sunset too ....

Tsk, Cool theater!  Samuel Pickwick is one of my favorite Charles Dicken's characters. I could watch The Pickwick Papers over and over.  ;D ... cute treat time story with Lulu

Phyl, cute Christmas morning pics... thanks for Amy's blog... The explore cam moments includes the Katmai Bears  :-* .. beautiful good night pic.

Tig, I love art deco too... if you watch Hercule Poirot you see a lot of art deco designs in the series.... you do a lot, so take care.

YAY Clynn, your back.... it's irritating when they can't find what's wrong....  well at least you were able to get a bargain on another modem... beautiful Christmas scenes.... we've seen the cougar's shadow returning home from the valley.. it's an awesome sight... never been to Oat Man, AZ.

We're going to the valley early in the morning.
I'll see you late tomorrow night. Have a lovely Weds and take care.

Lani, I think I am going to try the dry cat food you are using, I am currently feeding them Iams Healthy Adult and 1 small can each of Fancy Feast daily, along with treats. I think too many treats...  ::) ::)  I don't remember seeing the cougar on Superstition Mountain, but Mom does! You and Mike have a good day in the Valley!

Phyl, I think all of our cats are spoiled! It's hard not to spoil them, especially when they act like they are starving! I still call Sam and Sophie 'the kittens' even though they are a year old now!  Pretty good night pic!  Interesting 365!

tsk, it sounds like you have Lulu trained! I have never tried those treat puzzles! Is she back to sitting on Tim? I know what you mean about red cups, I also love the look of them. I have some deep red Wells Fargo mugs, they are just the right size, I love them!  (the cougar is real...)  ;D

Lisa, I don't know that I have seen those Sheba treats, I will look for them, I am sure Amazon must have them!

karen, beautiful Black Mountain range, I love mountains! Glad to hear that your heart is still working!

CLynn saw  the cougar shadow on the Superstition Mountains, AZ, many, many years ago before moving to The South, awesome; glad you
found what was the issue and could replace  a modem. Of course all our cats are spoiled... ;)

CLYNN   It takes Lulu about 3 days! to eat a small can of Fancy Feast.  Two servings a day - Early AM and usually noon.  WOW a year has gone by fast for your "kittens"  :)  the way I look at it - I try to go for enrichment for her treats - She has to earn them.  LOL  Time to find some new ones on line.  She's pretty good at the TP/paper towel/ cardboards with holes. ;) ;)

PHYL  Those are some old decorations this AM   That was a great banding report.  Lots involved!

How about something like this? I got this from sis for Ollie man. He loves it. About 10 bucks plus small treats that come out by rolling the ball and make it through holes inside the toy..and then outside the toy.

Probably make something similar for cats? or even this one for cats, it's not that big about the size of a small/medium size ball.

I can't remember if cats like to roll things or not..but if a treat is the incentive, perhaps?

(https://internationalcheetahday.com/wp-content/uploads/CheetahRun3.jpg)

The cheetah is the world’s fastest land animal. They can run 70 mph (or 110 kph), which is as fast as cars drive on the highway. The cheetah can reach its top speed in just 3 seconds!

The cheetah’s fur is covered in solid black spots, and so is their skin! The black fur actually grows out of the black spots on their skin . 


(https://internationalcheetahday.com/wp-content/uploads/141029_082207_FF2Q5996.jpg)

The cheetah has a long, muscular tail that has a flat shape. The tail almost functions like a rudder on a boat because they use it to help control their steering and keep their balance when running very fast.  There are fewer than 7,500 cheetahs left in the wild, making the cheetah Africa’s most endangered big cat.

 

(https://internationalcheetahday.com/wp-content/uploads/haircut.png)
Not just a funny haircut
Cheetah cubs have long tall hair that runs from their neck all the way down to the base of their tail, which is called the mantle. The mantle makes a cheetah cub look like a honey badger and makes them blend into tall grass, which helps keep them safe from threats like lions and hyenas.

KB   Pretty cool treat dispenser   ;)   
cats will bat, swipe, toss and chase a toy or small rodent and non poisonous insect.  Hence the reference to 'playing' with their 'prey'.  And, gobble up their kibble and canned 'wet' food as of it's the last they'll ever get. Even more quickly if they are truly hungry. Unlike dogs...cats swallow their food whole that's why canned food is in small  easy to swallow chunks. Their jaws aren't built for chewing.  However they can crunch if taught how to do this. I have taught all my cats to crunch kibble (If I serve that) and treats.

Tsk     Every kitty is different and so is it's  metabolism, to be sure.  ;)     
  Maggie( 22 human yrs)  eats 1.5 cans of Hills SD Kidney care daily. Their...  cans are about the size of Fancy Feast. I don't control portions and allow  eating  freely throughout the day and night.

I let the day get away from me, and just got around to getting into the Beak.  Boy, the wind is wicked sounding on DE, and it looks like we are going to be getting some of that here late tonight and tomorrow. 

From karen - https://fb.watch/wgm1-kbUq-/?

tsk- Love your cute morning greeting!  I have not bought the Temptation treats, but I have bought their lil containers of wet food to see if Misty would eat it.  If course, all she did was lick the gravy.  The niece seems to be making out OK in her new apartment, she tells me.  She said, she did meet some of her neighbors, so I hope she likes it there.  She better!   ;D

Phyl - Thanks for the 365.  Pretty good night pic last evening. Love those Christmas figurines.  Thanks for the banding report.  I love to see the work RRP does.

Lani - I did buy a bag this morning of the Rachel Ray Indoor Complete. Bandit ran to the kitchen, as he loves a fresh bag of food opened.  I said, this is not for you!  I did let him eat some, then Misty tried it and she seemed ok with it, but we will see.  She came back later and sniffed it and was like....do I want this?  ;D

clynn - I get the Sheba treats off of Amazon, you get a better deal then on Chewy at times. Love the acorn wreath!

kb - That is a cool enrichment toy!

Piper rolls my walker for treats!  I also have a gadget that has an emery board  like Substance on the top you put treats inside and  they get them out by scratching the emery board surface, and tip them. There are several on the Internet.
Dr. h uses purina for her large menagerie!  Says it is an  old trusted company.  I am using .science diet light.  Have used some if the special ty brands but quit buying them.

Wow: we've had wind gusts over 50mph all day.
Just now had a white out of snow.

Can't believe maybe? the AI generated weather apps anymore or whatever reason.

Had planned on walking Ollie this am...but the projected above 32 degree temps happened overnight. Not during the morning. Snowed lightly off and on with above winds all morning. So, light snow turned immediately into frozen ice on all my decks out back. Two exits are now not safe. Trying to keep the front safe for Ollie and no I didn't walk him as intended.

We've had below average temps by "a mile" now for an extended period of time...not that typical.

And, when I get excited over expected weather app predictions of warmer weather, well: let down as these temps either don't happen or do over night or sometimes for ONE HOUR!

Luckily, Ollie at 9 1/2 has become a compliant couch potato, except for our indoor play with him.  :D :D

Clynn, Love your morning pics.... the dry food helps the cats with hairballs. My cats are always licking their fur.... Beautiful Aspen Mountain and town. We skied there a couple of times.

Tsk, yes the cougar shadow is real... the first time I saw it, we were driving by Superstitious Mountains after a visit with Shannon near Apache Junction. This was her first condo before she bought her home in Mesa. The sun was setting to the west of the mountain, I looked up as we were driving by and told Mike the shadow looked like a cat. He mentioned it's the Cougar's shadow. I wonder if the cougar points to the spot of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine  ;D That's another AZ tourist attraction there.... I've never heard of a treat puzzle for cats. I wonder if my boys would like that... I saw the Hellgate news too. I wonder if Iris will know it's a new pole, no fish scent  ;D .

Phyl, darling Christmas decorations... your English Lit classes sounds like fun... English lit was one of my favorite courses. I think that's where I became interested in anything from England... Love Pickwick Papers, that would be fun to be part of.... David Suchet is my favorite Pirot. I've watched the series over and over again.... thanks for Cheetah info, love the cub.

Kb, cute treat ball for pups.... awww Wisdom is back  :-*

Lisa, thanks for Karen's video on Crow, but I got distracted again by the rescue of the horse in the video below.  :-\ YIKES!! ... Do you think Misty would eat it if that's the only dry available. Bandit will be a happy boy.  ;D

Karen, Piper rolls your walker for treats  ;D .. beautiful snow pic.

Wow, I overslept this morning! The wind here has been terrible, my flag was horizontal and more all day! We put trash receptacles out yesterday, I see some laying in the street!
Wind gusts up to 40 mph.

Lani, I remember going to Superstition Mountain several times when we lived at Luke. I bought a Lost Dutchman's gold mine bracelet in the souvenir shop! I may try a treat puzzle on my cats, I have seen them before but mostly for dogs. I googled and omg, there are tons of them, from simple to complicated!

karen, how cute that Piper rolls your walker for a treat! Thanks for the CROW news!

tsk, Sam and Sophie each have their favorite toy, Sam loves pompoms, and Sophie loves the plastic springs, they carry them everywhere! We regularly have to fish them out from under the furniture. At night they will bring them to me so I can toss them off the bed and they can chase them, they love to chase things!

Phyl, very cozy good night picture!

Lisa, I used to get all my cat food on Chewey, but I now get it on Amazon, like you said, it's cheaper! Harley was on a prescription Science Diet food, canned and dry. It got to where he just wouldn't eat the canned, I ended up throwing most of it in the trash. The price was getting outrageous, so I stopped. He gets Purina for Urinary Tract Health and has been fine and it's been 3 years!

baz, hope you and Zippo are just busy!

HYPERION - World's Tallest Known Living Tree, Rising Above the Rest The largest patch of old-growth redwood forest, located in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California - Hyperion is a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) that was measured at 115.92 m (380.3 ft), which ranks it as the world's tallest known living tree.
Hyperion was discovered on August 25, 2006, by naturalists Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor. It was found in a remote area of Redwood National Park that was part of the original 1968 park boundaries.— with Wow Scenery.
It is estimated to be 600 to 800 years old and contain 530 m3 (18,600 cu ft) of wood.
The exact location of Hyperion is nominally secret. However, In July 2022, the Redwood Park superintendent closed the entire area around the tree, citing “devastation of the habitat surrounding Hyperion" caused by visitors, and now anyone who gets too close could face up to six months in jail and a $5,000 fine. (Wikipedia)
Researchers have said that woodpecker activity at the top may have prevented the tree from growing taller. Photo credit: Michael Nichols, National Geographic

Lani - I will have to go back and look at the horse video.  I missed it.  I am not sure about her eating it if it was the only food down there.  She is a whiner, so I am sure I would be listening to her whine, and then I would give in.  ;D

tsk - Yes, thankful for places like CROW.  That is a cool enrichment toy!

Puff - I hope you were inside, nice and toasty looking at that view.

Phyl - The Christmas ornament funny!  ;D  Wow, windy for you too!  Thanks for the RRP  blog.

karen - Pretty pic!

kb - We are having those gusty winds today.  Congrats to Wisdom!! 

baz - Stop in and let us know how you and Zippo are doing!

clynn - Love your morning pics.  I know we have wasted alot of money on cat food just trying different ones to see what these cats like.  Oh, you are gusty winds too, today!

Clynn, pretty morning pics....  The Hyperion tree so old, ancient almost, can you imagine all the historical events that occured around it... When I walk these hills, I think about what life must have been like. It's like that old olive tree in Italy that you posted a few months ago. Can't you just envision Jesus walking past it...  :)

Tsk, I think I will get my boys a treat puzzle for Christmas. Thanks for the suggestion.

Phyl, Fun videos and info on RRP blog...also, congratulations to RRP for the $6,481 online donations they received Giving Tuesday! .... A few tourists have become lost or needed to be helicoptered out looking for the lost mine. And why is it they are never prepared with having water or good hiking boots and wear.  ???

Lisa, if you go back to look at the horse rescue video you may have to fast forward it. I did, it was difficult. I'm so glad to see the poor horse standing at the end. And the reactions of the cattle dogs were heartbreaking too, they were so concerned... I'm going to go to the Rocky M facebook to see if they post an update.

Hi Kb, Tig, Karen, Puff, Baz, Oldguy  :)

Howdy Beakers!  :)

Well, it's been a week and a day since I was last posting here, and that was after a week since my post before that, so I have at least 2 weeks of posts still to catch up on! I will... sometime... I hope. LOL.

Yes, it's been very busy around here, and I have not even signed on to my computer or checked my email every day, but when I have, it has been mostly only to do must-do business/bills/banking types of things. So I've missed out being here for the most part.

Thanks to all who sent well wishes and asked about Zippo.  :-* :-* She is improving, though she still has respiratory symptoms. She's still eating well, and still being her mostly usual self when it comes to being vocally and physically interactive with me and with her "stuff" that she likes to play and mess with. So that's good. Today is her last day, Day 14, of her 14-day antibiotic prescription. So yesterday I called her vet office to give an update on her symptoms and partial improvement, and asked if I should continue giving her the meds beyond the 14-days prescribed already, and if so, how long? I had already re-filled it last Friday for other reasons. The vet said today to continue her meds for another 14 days, and let her know if things change. Then we will re-assess. She also said that I should continue the meds for 1 week after Zippo's symptoms resolve, if they resolve before completing this 2nd round of 14-day round of antibiotics.

ALERT*************  Just now!! Tsunami warning issued for much of northern California and much of Oregon - just now! 7.0 earthquake registed at 10:44 am Pacific Time off the California coast between, and west of, Eureka and Garberville, CA.

Lani, when I was in high school there was a theater in Albion with a free matinee every Saturday. Some of us girls went to see The Birds. That was the scariest movie, I remember covering my head and getting my feet off the floor! What a sweet Christmasy dog! I understand the feelings when you see something like that tree that has seen so much in its time on earth. Even when I see a great wooded area I wonder if there are places there where no one has ever stepped before...

Phyl, hope Dan is okay. I agree, the 365 immediately brought that movie to my mind, it was 1966 or 67 that I saw it but I still remember it vividly! Cozy fire...

tsk, you brought back memories!  I have always wondered how birds that fly in swarms like that manage to keep from running into each other... and they do it so gracefully...

baz, you have been busy! Glad to hear Zippo is getting better!

Lisa, have you got all your Christmas decorations up? I have most of them done but have decided to just have the lights on the tree! It's a very beautiful light show and we are going to have to take the tree down before we go to Mom's, so no ornaments this year! Sam and Sophie have made attempts and are very curious about it.

National Geographic · Whale bones, Norway - Rafters make chilling discovery in crystal-clear water. The photo depicts a group of travelers who came across a startlingly-large spinal column just beneath the surface of the Arctic Ocean. The carcass belonged to a fin whale. The photographer claims that polar bears had been feeding on the vast remains for well over a year.

Montana Osprey Cams - Woo hoo – we have a replacement “dining room table” for the Hellgate ospreys!  NorthWestern Energy has been working on a very exciting project to remove power lines that ran along the Clark Fork River.  While this project will help reduce wildfire risk, the “owl pole” that was one of the favorite perches for Finnegan and Iris was removed as part of this work. But on Tuesday, 3 December 2024, a hardy NorthWestern Energy crew turned up with a new 50-foot pole.  They dug a hole just about exactly where the “owl pole” used to be and put in the replacement pole.  So next breeding season the Ospreys will have a feeding perch right where the old one was! Cheers, Erick Greene and the Montana Osprey Project Team

Lani - Love that good night pic last evening.

clynn - Another pretty wreath this morning!  I am not putting up a tree this year.  I put up my two lil ceramic trees, just to have some lights.  We are getting new doors and storm doors on our house, and a new kitchen floor.  I will need to move alot of stuff from my kitchen to the living room while they do the work, so Jeff said he didn't want to put up a tree and have all that other stuff in the living room too.  I like your idea of all lights and no ornaments.  Thanks for the Hellgate info on pole replacement.

kb - Pretty Snowy.  We had one visit MD a while back, when it was a lil more snowy here...LOL  It perched on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on one of the gantry's...talk about slow traffic that day!

karen - The Moonlight butterfly begonia is beautiful!

tsk - Work should start sometime this month.  My doors and storm doors had to be a special order, as the doors in my home are not standard size, so they have to cut the doors to fit.  This house was build in 1972, and are not up to today's standards.  My FIL put down my laminate flooring about 10 years ago, and he just laid it on top of the other vinyl floor that was originally there.  The contractor said, he will determine if the vinyl floor and anything else needs to be repaired after he tears up the laminate.

Woot woot!...this pup was found after being lost since tuesday.....ugg, in cold weather for now 4 days.
The community fb page helped along with the foster parents looking more than 12 hours a day. Construction workers found her here in the pic almost 20 blocks away from her home.  76th st  and 35W though she lives by me.

Apparently the foster's kids accidentally opened a door. Nonetheless, the community came to the rescue.

LISA   Are you changing to tile or wood or just keeping it laminate?  They make them to look like wood now - my neighbor has them.

KB   What a great story with a happy ending.   :-*

Lulu got her new treat toy today - Little bit harder than her usual ones but she'll get it  LOL  Actually she loves playing with my Yasso bar stick right now and certainly got involved this afternoon with the ribbon I was using to tie goody bags together today for the neighbors.  She's never bored  LOLOL

Lisa, you and Jeff have some big projects, when will you put in the new kitchen floor? I just read your answer to Tsk. How exciting!

Hmm, I wonder if BL/Pip see snowies often in the NE....I hadn't known that.

We get lots of them here in MN during years when lemmings and voles are particularly in short supply in Canada.

oldguy, ooh, lots to look at!  Thanks for the entertainment, will check it all out a bit later!

Lani, your good night dog sure looks like a cuddler! AI can produce beautiful pictures, but like I said before, I think somewhere it should be labeled as AI! Love the naughty/nice dog, he looks like a nerd...  ;D ;D

nr, good to see you!

tsk, it always amazes me that even with all the toys we provide out cats, they find the simplest things to play with! Like your Yasso stick and my Healthy Choice fudge bar stick!  Springs and pompoms! And a basket full of other toys! Ed has long strips of leather that they love to drag around. !Got my automatic litter box yesterday but am waiting until after Christmas to set it up!

Lisa, wow, you are doing big changes! I see on many of the home shows they are using Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring, is that what you are getting? When Kay had her floors done that was what they used, throughout the whole house. It was very nice! I want to have both of our baths changed in the coming year. A shower stall in ours and a new tub enclosure/shower door in the other bathroom. We shall see...

Phyl, love the Christmas Cardinals! And Santa's sleigh! Those prank gift boxes, how funny!

National Geographic · Photographer Tony Austin recently captured an extraordinary moment during a 3-hour nature walk. As a murder of crows landed nearby, one of the crows caught his attention with its unusual behavior. Curious, Tony started taking photos—and what he documented was fascinating!
The crow was “anting,” a unique behavior where birds land on anthills, letting ants crawl through their feathers. The ants release formic acid, which acts as a natural insecticide, fungicide, and bactericide—helping the birds rid themselves of harmful pathogens. Nature’s self-care routine at its finest!

Pearl Harbor Firsthand Accounts: Video
On December 7, 1941, a surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor shocked America. These are the stories of veterans who were at the naval base that morning.


Why Did Japan Attack Pearl Harbor?

On that infamous December day in 1941, Japan also attacked Guam, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaya.

tsk - We are keeping the floors laminate.  The one that looks like wood.  He told me to get a waterproof one.  I picked out one at Home Depot, and I know I should have not done this after I picked it out, I went browsing someplace else and found another one I like.  Im having a hard time deciding now.   Enjoy your day out.  :D

nrstooge - Good to see you.  Oh, would love to see a pic of your holiday tea set. 

Lani - I am a lil OCD when it comes to things out of place, so my kitchen being out of place will drive me nuts!

oldguy - Thanks for all the videos.  Need to watch a few more.   :D

clynn - The bathroom remodel is next on our list.  Jeff wants just a shower, but I said no a tub/shower combo.  If we sell this house in the next couple years, someone might see just a shower as a non-selling point.  We only have one bathroom. 

Phyl - Yes, lots of improvements, and thanks for the 365!

Remembering today Jane CR  heavenly birthday

PHYL   Thanks for the Pearl Harbor history review.    12 days of Catmess  LOL   Like the shirt idea instead of a cone - if the cat can tolerate it  LOLOL

LISA   Is there a way you can do some internet research on the brand of Laminate?  Love the ones that look like wood. - In two previous homes Pergo was the newest thing in laminate and we used that to update the kitchen in our first home.  Loved it as it was so easy to clean and not the upkeep of wood floors.   
When we built this home the builder said if you don't have a tub in the master it's a no sell to the next buyer.  So we have a useless tub and a walk-in shower we both use.  ::) ::)    As you know  the upstairs has the tub shower combo.

Very interesting kb!  Has to have a purpose between the cats or an understanding/message of  sharing rules. 

Clynn  NG  I also found interesting the crow/ant relationship.  That is a great sample of a symbiotic  relationship. 

Always like when someone posts Pearl Harbor anything.  If you're ever on Oahu and within 100 miles of the monument IT IS A DEFINITE MUST.  They really have a fine presentation/organization of the whole event.  Not only do they give all the facts and details, you will walk away totally understanding and feeling the emotions and horror so many went through. 

A special connection would be my father's involvement.  Being a welder/boilermaker, he was hired and moved to California.  He worked on converting battleship's into aircraft carriers.  He only had 2 or 3 pics of the dock/ship (censored for military).  My second brother, year older than me, was born in SFO.

I have 3 days in a row that get shared with my Dad.  December 6 was his birthday (1918), December 7 the Pearl Harbor association (1941), passed away December 8 (1983), he was only 65.  Even now missed so much. :'(   He was my Christmas coach.  We didn't have anything back in the day, but he loved Christmas and always overdid it.  Wish I could give him a hug.

I'm been feeling nervous since this morning, bad vibes from SWFL.  Mom in nest keeps calling for her partner.  They seem to be panning the area looking for anything.  One short posting about a intruder last evening.  No one posting at all today, just a short signoff last night.  Anyone have news from another source?

Phyl, I got the Meowant litter box. Not that I believe all the rankings out there, but this one had very good reviews. I was all set to cough up big bucks for the Litter Robot, but this one actually rated better... and I can use any good clumping litter. With the Litter Robot they recommend you buy their litter, and it's pricey! Also, this one has a larger opening, so big Harley will fit!   https://meowant.com/products/meowant-self-cleaning-cat-litter-box-mw-sc02   Love the cat in the plaid flannel shirt!  And the 12 days of Catmess!

Lisa, cute cat Christmas tree!  I watch several of the decorating/remodeling shows and the biggest hurdle the people have is picking out things. There are just so many choices and you end up going in circles!  Don't you wish you could just have Erin & Ben or Dave & Jenny do it for you?

tsk, we are going to leave on the 22nd and back on the 29th, a stop in Springfield on the way back! It will be my 5th trip for 2024! Our upstairs bathrooms are next to each other so I think the tub/shower in Kelsey's bathroom will be sufficient. I only have room for one or the other, so for ours it will be just a walk-in shower. If I had room I would have both!

Fabulous Lovers Of Weird Everything
"Many have passed away, and those who are still here are called "the elderly.""
We were born in the 40s-50s-60s.
We grew up in the 50's-60's-70's
We studied in the 60s-70s-80s.
We were together in the 70s-80s-90s.
We got married or not and discovered the world in the 70s-80s-90s.
Adventuring into the 80s - 90s
We're settling in to the 2000s.
We became wiser in 2010s.
And we’re going strong into 2020 and beyond.
Turns out we went through EIGHT different decades...
TWO different centuries...
TWO different millennials...
We've gone from phone with operator for long distance calls, pay booths, video calls worldwide.
We’ve gone from slides to YouTube, vinyls to online music, handwritten letters to emails and Whats App.
Live games on the radio, black and white TV, color TV, then HD 3D TV.
We went to the video store and now watching Netflix.
We've known the first computers, punch cards, disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts all through our childhood, then trousers, ep pants or mini-skirts, Oxfords, Clarks, Palestinian scarves, jumpsuits, and blue jeans.
We avoided childhood paralysis, meningitis, poliomyelitis, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We've done roller skating, roller skating, tricycle, bicycle, moped, gasoline or diesel and now we drive hybrids or electric.
We played with the little ones
horses and checkers, ostrich and marbles, 1000 threshold and monopoly, now there's candy crush on our smartphones
And we read... much
And our schoolmates religion was not a subject...
We used to drink tap water and lemonade in glass bottles, and the vegetables on our plate were always fresh, today we get meals delivered
Yes, we have been through a lot but what a beautiful life we have had!
They might describe us as “ex-annuals”; people who were born in this 50s world, who had an analog childhood and digital adulthood.
We should add the Biological Revolution that we have witnessed. In 1960, biology was very descriptive. We have witnessed the event of Molecular Biology: the molecules of Life have been discovered: DNA, RNA etc. When you see everything that has come from it: gene therapy, gene fingerprints, and others the progress is considerable.
We kind of have "seen it all"!
Our generation has literally lived and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
This is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE".
A big congratulations to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE.. "

FYI regarding SWFL  No problem at their nest.  I'm not a regular and don't know their viewing habits.  Since they hadn't been on since Friday a.m. - and nothing until noon today and because their last post yesterday talked about an intruder, I kinda jumped the gun.  Their moderators aren't on as frequent a sked as Decorah.  And, but, they also don't open unless one of their mods takes to the cam/air.

However there is talk and excitement for possible good things might happen next week.

PUFF    How interesting to have those Dec 6,7,8 have meaningful memories of Dad for you.

CLYNN   I always wondered if a cat would change from one little system it was used to  to another.  You'll let us know.  Boy, they aren't cheap  :o :o    You've put a lot of miles on your car this year!!   I've seen that piece on the "elderly" before.  When you lay it all down on paper we have seen an incredible amount of change.

Thanks to All for  the Pearl  harbor posts,
I had all of my Carpets cleaned today.  They look very nice, but are still wet morning will give a better feel for life.
Lori, good post today and I hope all is well with you. Thanks for remembering CR Jane.
Going to get ready to turn in early will be back in the morning. Oh puff all is well at Southwest Florida as of early this evening.  The owls are a real hazard, however as I live in a tree on the pasture and desperately want finessed, the Eagles occupy and build and built.   The big problem there also is that F 23 flew into cam two and moved it and it is no longer possible to reposition it. We’ll have to wait till next year for views from that vantage point.

Oldguy, great videos, thanks.

Clynn, very interesting about the crow "anting." .. I have the Litter Robot, I use Fresh step clumping litter from Costco. It works great.

Tsk, glad to hear Tim is doing well, one day at a time.... I hope you had a good time at the church fair. I bet it was fantastic.... I've had litter robot for a year, took awhile, Milo uses it and I keep a litter box for Norman. He hasn't taken to it.... It was a slow process for the cats to get use to it being in the bathroom near their old litter box. Then getting use to the noises it makes when moving the litter. As I said, Milo uses it, Norman doesn't... I love the cat in the window bucket too! I'd love to get one for the cats.

Karen, thanks for explaining the situation with SWFL cam... I need to get my carpets cleaned too... The carpets should be dry by morning. Piper will enjoy the feel of clean carpets.  ;D

Phyl, thank you for the Pearl Harbor history... love the 12 days of Catmas! ... great Caturday pics.

Kb, fun snowy owl pic

Lisa, shower/tub combo sounds like a good idea... good luck deciding on the floor  ;D

Thanks Lani for the update and activities at SWFL.  It has been an iffy situation, but our pair seems to be handling it on their end.  Next week should be something eventful to watch.

Although it wasn't a common descriptive "back in the day"   ;D   I probably could have been dubbed the village nerd.  Always has my nose in some type of reading material.  Did the usual little girl/teenie bopper/rock and roll "stuff" - But started in the 60's really getting into newspaper, books, TV specials, sports action, history, cereal boxes.  Whatever!  Naturally, being a Certified Island Specialist with Hawaii I've got a bit (a large bit) of knowledge, training, and background on Hawaii.  (I will always defer to you, Lani, however.)  Hence, my strong suggestion of seeing Pearl Harbor. 

Pearl Harbor is just so moving an experience.  But, another not much mentioned visit to suggest, right around the bend in the road is the battleship USS Missouri.  Used in many regions over its years, its final use was in the 1990's during the Kuwait, Saudi, Iraq war in the middle east.  Had to make several big changes for the ammunitions used and energy upgrades available in the 1990's.  Alterations to handle new tech and developements, for energy, weapons, etc.  After upgrades and use in that scene and its last battle in late 90's it was permanently retired.  One of the most awesome effects is to stand under the "cannons" on the main deck.  Humungous!!!!!  Can't even imagine the power felt and heard when they were in action.  A nice touch is - while there were still survivors - was the use of retired personnel from all branches of the US military to act as docent/tour leaders of the ship.  (personal remembrances were moving)  They still use all branches for tour leaders on board.

Because of stairs (aka ladders) and tight quarters it has ADA warnings today.  But - since you're in the neighborhood - try to do both Pearl Harbor and the Missouri if you can.  Their new reservation systems are limiting and tricky, but I can help.

Forgot to mention - memorial setup throughout is stressed; and on deck there is a marking of the exact spot (with artifacts) of the signing of the decree ending WWII by Japan.

Lani, I am wondering how the cats will take to the new litter box, I think Sam and Sophie will be fine but ol' man Harley probably wont! We are going to wait until we are back home from Mom's before we set it up. I've wondered about those window buckets too!  I have seen pictures of those being used in the car too, for traveling. Jane was a beautiful little girl...  Great cat videos from X, love the cats in the Christmas trees, all so true. I have had to pile presents under ours so S&S won't get under it! And they still try to get in there! Naughty kitties!  Love the way the cat is sitting in the window bucket! The intense massage and those tails! The chase around the big spool, so cute!

Phyl, it is amazing to see what a wonderful job was done on Notre Dame, it looks as beautiful as ever! What an honor for those who worked on the restoration and the skills they used from long ago. Amazing Grace, a perfect song for the day, and beautifully performed!!

Puff, today holds a lot of memories of your Dad...remember all the good times, that is what they leave us... Thanks for the SWFL update.

tig, the same for you today...

Lori, love your post, so good to see you popping in, I hope one day you will be back with us and let us know how you are doing...

karen, clean carpets!  You have a head start on spring cleaning!

tsk, I will definitely let you know the outcome of the new litter box! My niece in Dallas has had the Litter Robot for a couple of years now, she loves it! She loves that the app on her phone tells her when the container needs to be emptied, she has called Cathy more than once, asking her if she would run over and empty it. That is when she and Joe are out of town and one of the boys is in charge of it. And forgets!

Amana Woolen Mill in Amana, Iowa
It's the last remaining textile mill operating in Iowa. During operating hours, there is a entrance that is open to the public where they can observe the textile work.  You can also walk next door to Warped & Woven to shop for products that were made at the woolen mill.

KAREN    Thanks for last night's update on SWFL  Dang on the camera shift - Someone didn't tighten a screw  LOL

LANI  Thanks for SWFL update as well.  Thanks for mentioning the sound the Litter Robot makes.  Lulu is very sensitive to sound and wondered if that would be an issue.  Seems to me that if a kitten was raised on it, that would be all it knew,  Thanks for post JaneCR's pics.    :)

PUFF  Thanks so much for the history of the Missouri.  Did a 4 Island tour back in the late 70s as a graduation gift for my younger brother.   Of course the Missouri was still in action then.  Yes the Memorial is very impressive and isn't the cemetery right there as well?

CLYNN   Who will take care of the kitties when you are gone??  I don't remember that ship sinking story.  Then again I don't remember a lot  LOLOL    Cha ching-cha ching

tsk, I didn't remember that ship sinking either, that is why I wanted to verify it! You can't trust anything on FB these days! You would have thought that was big news when it happened!  Vicky and Joni across the street will take care of the cats while we are gone. They have cats and those rescued Chihuahuas, so they are pet people! Erin will also stop by. We are considering boarding Harley, he doesn't like Sam & Sophie that much yet, although it is getting better!  We shall see!

Lisa can't wait to see your finished products..other than the anxiety while work is being done, at least for me, it's also so rewarding and fun.

Luckily I got a few dog walks in the last few days as temps Finally warmed up...to cool down a few days next week, but the overall trend going forward is warmer...for the whole country I might add.

Good Afternoon!  Lol, Lani!
Clynn, I remember it well as the song goes!    Just two years ago and a massive insurance claim! What  a loss.
Carpet leaning has not been done for over 2 years and may have visitor for more Christmas.looks good!
Have to move plants back outside.   Doing some laundry and putting lights on a tree.
Except for the incident with cam 2, swfl is about the same as usual.  Eggs were laid a week or two early as there were  often a chance for .Christmas or New Years Babies.
Lisa, nice floor.    I built a  retirement home in Alabama and put a large walk in shower in the master bath.  Combo outfit in the second bedroom!  Sold it in. Few days , wird of mouth.    Guess it depends on the location,

OMG! How bout them CHIEFS!!! AFC WEST CHAMPIONS!!!   8)

Puff, you have lots of wonderful memories and historical knowledge of your travels...  you should write a travel book.  ;D

Clynn, I read your comment about the Litter Robot app. I removed it from my iphone. I didn't like it, it was too controlling of my phone... and I use another non clumping litter. Norman doesn't like to be confined, it frightens him, he has the most pitiful cry if he gets locked in somewhere...  I love seeing tiktok videos of people traveling with their pets. One trucker had a great three tier shelf rack lined with blankets for his three cats. And a mesh for their safety... So cute.... what a great story of the cargo ship Felicity Ace. I don't remember the story...  Can you imagine the cost of that cargo?!

Tsk, both cats are use to the sounds the litter robot box makes when it's turning the litter. They can ignore the sound if their busy at their cat dishes. They use to run out of the room like their tails were on fire...

Phyl, love the Peregrine falcon on today's nature video...

Lisa, floor color is perfect! It blends well with any design style....

Karen, I almost forgot you're having guest for Christmas.  ;D ... love Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree.  :-*

Lani, I hope the cats will take to the new litterbox, you just never know! They all have their little quirks! Hooray for the Chiefs!  How happy is Mike?? Yahoo! Love the marshmallow!

BL, wonderful Sunday Morning Coming Down...

karen, feels good to have the carpets clean! You are ready for your Christmas company!  Is your Christmas tree up?

Lisa, your flooring choice is just what I would pick, not too light, not to dark, just warm and toasty! I love watching the home shows! If I am busy, I watch the first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes, I love seeing the differences!

Phyl, love the views of the French Alps and then there's a beautiful falcon! Perfect!

tsk, is Tim back to normal now? It's funny how 'normal' changes over time...

Iowa Road Trip - The Grant Wood Window - It's a stained glass window located in the Veterans Memorial Building in Cedar Rapids, Iowa that was created by artist Grant Wood.   The window is 20 by 24 feet and contains 57 window panels and over 9,000 pieces of glass.  A robed female figure is the centerpiece and is said to represent the "Republic".  At the base are six soldiers representing the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican War, Civil War, Spanish-American War, and World War I.

PHYL   We do littler the old fashion way - scoop it clean daily - Tim's job!

LANI  I see we had another gruff looking pontiff yesterday.  Probably needing to fund raise for more dog food distribution!  ;D   No question about those Chiefs!!! 

LISA    Beautiful choice - would have been mine as well.  :)

Unique female, the males look like they have a mask over their eyes!  We had wonderful temps over the weekend, up to 60 yesterday, supposed to get to 54 today. Then cold, then back up again. Glad to hear that Dan is doing well!

tsk, yes, the neighbors across the street are great, we help each other. When Kelsey makes lasagna or spaghetti. I often take some over to them. They love it! I try to earn the Christmas cat feeding they provide...  Have a good time at your lunch with the girls!

Royal Albatross update

The 2024–25 season features male RLK (named for his colored leg bands: Red, Lime, blacK) and female GLG (Green, Lime, Green) nesting at the Signal Station Trig nest site. This is the pair's first season on the Northern Royal Albatross Cam. The fertile egg was laid on November 11, 2024.

Known by their colour bands and identified as male or female by their size (the average male is larger than the average female). They share the incubation of the egg which takes on average 79 days, around 2.5 months. Occasionally, we should get a glimpse of the egg as the parent stands briefly.

Changeover times can be around 2 weeks; adult albatross are perfectly adapted to going without food for this time. It was a quick turn around for GLG for her last foraging stint and she was only away for 5 days.

The Royalcam pair will receive GPS tags.

Geo Positioning Tags are very light weight and are cable tied to the strong back feathers between the wings. They will fall off after around a year when these feathers are moulted. We will receive the data via satellite so do not need to retrieve the device to see the information that it has gathered of the bird’s whereabouts.

Northern Royal Albatross Cam Launches 2024–25 Season With New Royal Family! – Dec. 3, 2024
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czn8h3q_vYc&list=PLXJZ8Lf9KIx6iS2ncZFMv_-8H5svLN97H&index=2

Mom GLG is back on the nest she will be the first of the pair to be tagged, likely later in the week on Friday. The egg will be placed in the incubator during the process and returned once she is settled on a dummy egg on the nest. We hope to gain foraging location insights from the data.

The NEFL Hamlet - Gabrielle and Beau

Welcome NE 30!! First egg for the season for Gabby & Beau!!!

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GeUAbiEXgAEx07M?format=jpg&name=small)

Dec 9, 2024
AEF NEFL~Beau arrived on Wallenda this am, Gabby  got up off egg and went up to balcony out of sight on cam 4 - but you can hear her vocals. Beau went to nest and saw the egg for the first time. He studied it and aerated around the egg.  After a few mins he settled down incubating. He appeared to take good care and was very gentle with the egg.  This is so exciting to see!

Clynn, stunning stain glass window... love the cheetah pic... you have wonderful neighbors, I know they feel the same about you, Kelsey and Ed.  :-* .. our night temps are dropping this next week from 30's into 20's and no moisture in sight. It's been a couple of weeks since any moisture. It's dry, so many of us are taking our water hoses or water buckets and watering a few pines or trees that need water... supposedly it'll be a dry winter in Arizona.

Tsk, have a lovely girls party! Prayers for your friend.... Tim's new normal is good... I clean Norman's box daily too.

Phyl, love your Christmas decor... glad all is well with Dan! ... love how peaceful it was on the bird feeder until the Grosbeaks arrive.  ;D ... beautiful nature video.

For us we hired a handyman and it took him 2 days to fit it...yeah, it's a process to fit new doors in old framing.
But i am still thrilled with it. The windows in the old door were leaking....now nada, so warmer, much warmer.
We also got a new storm door just before so the front looks great and functions well.

So important!

Eventually I'll need to replace my basement (walk out rambler) door. Not the door as it's steel but the windows are leaking so I cover windows with 3 m window seal in the winter which is getting old for me to do.

My concern is I can't find a similar door with as much window. As i sleep downstairs and see outside as it is.
I don't want to lose my view!

OMG! How bout them CHIEFS!!! AFC WEST CHAMPIONS!!!   8)

YAYAYAYAY!!!!!  :D Lani, can you believe their single score win streak?!?  Watching that last-second field goal go all wonky had me holding my breath and seemed to take forever to see if it would go over the crossbar and between the posts!! But, WOOT! - it did!!  ;D ;D  (That kicker has an interesting story, that I didn't know before, too.)

Howdy Beakers!  :)

I was last here last Thursday, I think... and I have just finished reading all the posts since then till now. But I still haven't had a chance to read the 3 weeks of posts I missed!

Zippo is doing much better!!  :) :-*  I noticed she seemed to take a big turn for the better late Saturday afternoon! Then yesterday (Sunday), she still seemed greatly improved, and both of those nights, she ate much more before going to bed for the night than she had been eating while she was sicker. She had a huge crop the last 2 nights when I covered her! LOL. I loved seeing that!! And yesterday I noticed her wheezing was greatly improved - and sometimes not audible at all when I listened with my ear next to her beak and breast. That was great!! I have been cautiously optimistic since then. Her great improvement and heartier eating has continued into today - YAY! - and I could barely hear any unusual breathing sounds this morning after giving her her morning medicine. So it seems she is on her way to being well... toenails crossed!!  ;) :D :-*

Thanks to All the Beakers who have asked about her and sent wishes and prayers for her recovery!!  :-* :-*

I think things around here should get back closer to my normal pretty soon, and then I can get back to reading and posting here more regularly again.

Take care, All!!  :)

Congrats! To NEFL Hamlet - Gabrielle and Beau. Welcome NE 30!!


LOL Clynn cute greeting this AM;  spectacular IThe Grant Wood Window , tks  And, another great American Gothic painting by Mr.  Wood.
Boy Oh boy! That leopard blends perfectly with that tree trunl. "Nature" thinks of everything.

Tsk pretty Christmas wreath this  AM;  LOL thats' about the way it is here but regarding the household 'trash/garbage' ...Oh I'll bag it from the waste baskets then carry it to the back door to garage and drop it by the kitchen receptacle. That's it ...he takes it to the "dumpster" & empties the kitchen ties it all up and come Tuesday he wheels it out to the curb and brings it into garage. 
And 'the girls party' bet that was fun.

Lisa how'd it all go this AM?   Nice greeting today.

Lani tks for the  Royals update and photos. Wow! their cams are up, already. Cool. Too little time...hard to resist.

Karen - Awww the Snoopy Snowman, cute. So glad Mickey and Kathryn will be  w/you over Christmas

Bounce
Yay Zippo, NEFL and hugz all.
I saw 2 bald eagles today!

We took a road trip to Lake City to pick up a few more Christmas gifts with some coupons we had and then to Edina, MN to the Cheesecake factory with some gift cards we had. It was our first visit to C F. Good news... the food is yummy. Bad news... the restroom was terrible IMHO. The women's handicap stall was out of order, the rest of the stalls had no assist bars and the toilets were practically on the floor. I felt I was in an elementary school! The top of the bowl came to my mid calf! I survived that but then the automatic faucet flowed with cold water. Grr.

Anyway... I look forward to trying the slices I brought home. Camper is not a fan... He thinks " cake " ought to look like cake.  ::)

Congrats to the Chiefs. I watched some of the game... until the fans started that "Indian" chant.  :(

Anyway... Enough opinionating...

tsk, a bite of cheesecake sounds so good...  ;D ;D

Lani, thanks for the good news on NEFL, we will soon have the Florida nests to watch! Speaking of carrot cake, Becky's partner Jennifer is a baker deluxe. She makes a totally from scratch carrot cake, (including grating the carrots) and it is wonderful! She made the wedding cake for her niece last year, Becky said she tried at least 15 different recipes before she found the one she wanted. I love to be at Mom's when Becky and Jennifer are there... Sweet dog and parrot!

karen, those hounds sure had a good time! I am so happy that Micky and Kathryn will be your guests at Christmas!

baz, relieved to hear Zippo continues to improve! She's a tough gal! She always makes me think of Eagleduck's Max, I wonder how she is doing... hopefully living a good life with a person like you...

tsk, your Girl's Gathering was a hit, how sweet of you to send a picture of all of you to the friend in the hospital! Hooray for the Berry Chantilly cake, I may have to go find one! We have a Whole Foods close by, always busy!

NEW ARRIVAL
Lula: Lula arrived at TRR after being found next to her mother, who unfortunately passed away.

Clyde, 2F Sloth: Clyde has shown consistent growth, excellent appetite, and an adventurous personality. If you see a sloth moving around the structure, moving from top to bottom and all over the place, look closely as it's most likely Clyde!

TayTay, 2F Sloth: Tay Tay has been gaining weight consistently and maintains a healthy appetite. She has begun spending more time outside in the trees as she is now getting ready to graduate to Sloth Elementary!

Waylon, 3F Sloth: Waylon keeps eating on his own and gaining weight! He has a tremendous appetite and he demolishes every leaf presented to him!

🕊️In Memory Of:  😢
Miztli, 2F Sloth, and Buki, 3F Sloth: These two remarkable orphans arrived at TRR after surviving tragic circumstances, but unfortunately passed away from their injuries a few weeks after arriving at our clinic. Although you might not have met them officially (but you may have seen them on the porch), we decided to include them in the update as a testimony to their resilience and as a reminder that wildlife rehabilitation can have its ups and downs.

Ken, 2F Sloth: We are absolutely heartbroken to announce that Ken has unfortunately passed away. He encountered several health issues on his path to recovery but ultimately passed away due to a parasite. We will miss him greatly but we are sure that he is cheering on his fellow sloths on their path to being released.

A friendly reminder: We are a critical care facility - Even though you do not see this on camera, the animals are under 24/7 vet care.

Lani tks for the Sloth Report, lots going on with those  pre-school critters.

Karen luv those 'Peanuts' kids---always! Tks  ; Also appreciate the backstory on the 'boarding and training facility'; Wow! 80F for you  today.  :)

Lisa luv that cuppa Christmas Cheer---you use Bailey's Irish Creme? Right?  ;D ;).  Good news from the ENT; good luck w/the  insulated (?)metal doors.

TSk towers attached or adjacent to a mosque   are called  minarets  . And are  designed to  call tthe faithful to prayer, issued from mosques five times a day, can be heard loud and clear throughout a town or city.

Tig glad the tootsies are happy. What color did you have then painted or are they naked? LOL
Sorry about the eyeball pain---were the tags frozen with liq O2?

Dinner: traditional meatloaf (ground beef and pork) in a beef gravy , baby red mashed potaotes. Meatloaf slices each topped with Fr. fried onions and real blu cheese melted 'just so'  . Mixed veggies in butter sauce & garden salad. No dessert. But lots of vino. ;)





   Good Night Beakers... SEDs

Lani, I'm with you on the Chantilly cake, maybe for after Christmas tea with Nancy (nr). She invited me for tea on Saturday, sounds like she has some good treats planned!  We had a dusting of snow along with wind yesterday, TWC was calling for snow Thursday night and some on Friday. Now it's freezing rain Friay night turning to rain, 39 and rain on Saturday. 20-30 mph winds today. Iowa. What a sloth report, they must be very busy there!  Makes me sad that something happened to so many sloth moms.

karen, thanks for the updates on SWFL, it won't be long now!

BL, sounds like you are in heaven, with all of the things you love!

Phyl, your dinner sounds good (except for the bleu cheese...)!  Love the kitty in the tree, I am expecting to see that any time! Of course, I would go find my phone and take a picture before I got the kitty down!  Thanks for Amy's Blog, always interesting!

Puff, I agree, the smell of the Sequoia National Park would be heavenly....  I even love walking under my two pine trees, just for the smell!

Lisa, you are finding such cute Christmasy morning greetings!

Thanks tsk and Lisa!..for remembering.

It would be 23 years today....and a little more than 24 since we met...
I think of our restaurants we enjoyed throughout the years...was a ritual for us every anniversary to try a new one. All were great btw and hold special memories.

Just came inside from shoveling/sweeping the snow off the driveway. Not a lot but the sun is out and will dry it if swept/shoveled. Before the temps continue to drop and the wind gets even stronger.

Have an upstairs toilet decision to make. Previously had the toilet itself snaked and with continuing issues expert recommended snaking further down the line. With our toilet and a camera needed would require removing the toilet. At the time we decided to wait and see.
It's back. We also decided then if the toilet needed to come off to clear we might as well get a new one to replace it with that's higher etc.
Seems daunting to do/decide today as it's brutally cold and they need a separate plumber to do the toilet swap.

Off to plunge....lovely, LOL Our pipes tend to collect rust on the inside and needs removall

Not how I wanted to spend the day!

Sorry KB

I thought something (what?) was amiss in the room earlier. An intermittent electronic buzz. My new Chromebook? The cable box? The surge protector? My hubby's old tablet? I finally narrowed it down to hubby's cell phone that had been left in the room last night and had been turned to buzz the night before while at a movie and was buzzing a lot because his work buddies were trying to reach him concerning their retiree/work luncheon today. Sheesh.

Plan in place:

It's the main drain inside the house from the toilet to the exterior drain...need to remove the toilet in order to put a camera down it to find it..speculation where it is at this point. From previous experts, draining just the toilet before but had them back out in November. This old toilet you can't put a camera down from the toilet, hence removing it. and then putting it back on.
The clog is NOT outside to the street. It's inside.

Luckily I've had multiple camera inspections of my outside drain and never found any tree roots.

Ordering a new toto drake toilet to replace. Unfortunately, can't have it delivered by tomorrow when the clearing of the drain will happen.

I found a different plumber who will put the new one on cheaper than the drain company who also has a plumbing division. He will put it on as soon as delivered

Whew.
We knew this was a possibility in November. But, we took a wait and see approach. That's over today! after 10 plunging attempts.

Today started with snow (1/2 in) and cold - lower 20s - sun came out for a few hours and melted most of the streets/sidewalks.  Temps started to drop around 3pm and will bottom out near 6 by morning.  Back up above freezing for the weekend with rain.

Found a late night post from Amy this morning in my regular mail about the onslaught of eagles.  Great post Amy.


How do eagles stay warm in cold weather?
Each species experiences the world differently and eagles have capacities that are far different from ours. How do Bald Eagles survive an Iowa winter without adaptive clothing and central heat? A cold January morning coated our eagles in frost and left watchers wondering how Bald Eagles survive an Iowa winter. In general, wintering animals – including humans – need to retain body heat, stay dry, and take in enough calories to support winter’s increased energy demands. We humans put on

There was a link to connect with that wasn't transferred.

  December 11, 2024: It’s an Eagle-Palooza!
Welcome to the Eagle-Palooza! But where did all those eagles come from? Our camera operators reported three eagles this morning: HM, HD, and an unknown adult. All three were seen perched together in a tree to the north of the hatchery – a little unusual, but nothing we haven’t seen before…at least until about 1:50PM this afternoon, when 35 or so of their best friends showed up! David Kester went down to the hatchery to check things out. He reported

What Is A Group Of Eagles Called?
Like many other birds, groups of eagles can have different names based on the behavior they’re exhibiting. For example, a group of eagles in flight is called a “soar,” and a large group of eagles, no matter what behavior they’re exhibiting, is called a “convocation.” Lastly, a group of eagles in a nest is called an aerie.

Lani, oh those sleeping puppies are so sweet... It's 7 right now, high today 15 with light snow this morning. Brrrr!

oldguy, thanks for the links, will watch them a bit later this morning!

Phyl, Mom made each of us an album with pictures and keepsakes from birth through high school graduation. I am going to find some more old nostalgic pictures of Christmas's past!

Well well well.

Drain guys left. It's not my drain but rather an air lock in the vent from the toilet.
We walked out to the deck to look at the roof vent

Has at least 2 inches of ice covering it.
Just a perfect combination of fierce winds and very low temps since yesterday combined with hot air and voila. He's seen it 40 times out of 5,000 calls in the last 5 years. So not every cold spell will produce this.
No roofer will get on top of current roof with ice/frost, severe temps, and heat it off, but natural temps and sunshine will. Just charged a trip charge.

So no drain cleaning In fact this tech suggested to wait till it melts (above 32 this week end I assume weather predictors) and then if toilet works that's definitive of the diagnosis.
It's just a slow flusher as it can no longer just use gravity as there is air locked in the pipes. Does flush slowly just because a lot of water is pushing it.

Will purchase a new toilet once this clears....the older toilets sometimes just don't function properly as well.
To whomever asked, yes we will purchase a taller one.
A toto drake is the kind of toilet we will buy and have installed.

SWFL Eagles ~ Wind Gust Lifts & Spins F23 Around! M & F23 Keeping Eggs Warm & Dry From Rain 12.11.24 - video by Lady Hawk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoLMnWWy2aE

Dec 11, 2024  #southwestfloridaeaglecam #baldeagles
Cam 1 is back online mid morning finding M15 incubating the eggs. However, there is no panning or zooming today from cam 1 & the other cams are offline. They are being worked on & hopefully will back up tomorrow!

F23 returns to the nest for an incubation switch. While on the nest, F23 starts to wrangle a big clump of moss and tries to spread it and move it around while incubating - quite the challenge - the wind was not helping either!

F23 starts to zip (preen) her tail feathers and then bam! A wind gust lifts her up and spins her around the nest! Better keep your tail feathers down F23!! M15 arrives with a thin stick and he steps on F23 and puts the stick on her back. She gets it off her and gets up and heads to the attic for a break while M15 takes over incubation duties.

The weather starts to turn rainy and the wind increases as M15 is on the eggs keeping them warm & dry. F23 comes back to the nest and takes over - you can see how dry the nest cup is when M15 gets up! F23 then takes over keeping the eggs warm and dry in the rain. ♥

A little while later, F23 gets up and goes to the attic vocal - calling for M15. She drops back down to the nest and back up still vocal. She returns to the nest and we hear M15 is in the upper branches vocal. F23 leaves and M15 comes to the nest to incubate the eggs. M15 stays on egg duty until F23 returns near dusk and takes over the night shift.

We are now officially on Hatch Watch! The eggs typically hatch between 34-39 days of incubation and today Dec 11th,  egg #1 is 33 days & Egg #2 is at 30 days. This means that on Friday Dec. 13th, egg #1 will be at 35 days so we will be looking for that external pip! Egg-citing days ahead! 🎉

The Northern Royal Albatross Cam is back for a new season from New Zealand’s South Island! Rangers from the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) have moved the camera to its official site for the 2024-25 season within the albatross breeding colony at Pukekura/Taiaroa Head.

This cam season features a fresh set of faces and a new nest site! Twelve-year-old male RLK (named for his colored leg bands: Red, Lime, and blacK) is nesting with his 14-year-old mate GLG (bands: Green, Lime, Green) at the Signal Station Trig site. The birds have been switching off incubation duties over their fertile egg since it was laid on November 11.

Join us for another marathon breeding season with one of the world’s largest ocean wanderers live from the Southern Hemisphere’s only mainland albatross breeding colony.

Happy Thursday, Beakers!  :)

I love the Eagle-Palooza pics!! At both places!  :D

Zippo continues to show improvement with her respiratory symptoms. We're on Day 7 of her 2nd 14-day round of antibiotics. No gurgling. Labored breathing is almost never and not very labored when it's apparent. Wheezing is much less, and often not at all. She is not holding her beak slightly open like she had been, except only slightly, and not often. She's eating great! She has been needing a beak and nail trim, but I haven't wanted to stress her out by doing that while she has been sick. But since she is so much improved, I did a quick beak trim and emery board smoothing this morning, though I really wanted to trim it more than I did. So at least it's better, and her toenails could use a trim, but can wait, so didn't do that since that's stressful for her... the beak trim isn't so stressful. She actually likes it when I smooth the edge of her trimmed beak with the emery board!  :D :-*

Clynn, talons crossed your freezing rain/ice event won't be too bad, or last very long - saw about that on the Wx Channel this morning, also. I hope you won't need to go out in it at all! Looks like Decorah is inside the area targeted for that freezing rain, too. I hope the eagles will hunker down with lots of corn husks and stay safe! Love your sisters throwback Christmas pic!

Waving to All the Beakers!  :D

Sounds like a great day tsk!  Nice to be home safe without any horrible weather storms
Lani, thanks a lot for the report on SWFL. Hope tomorrow brings better news for them and less wind and rain. We had some rain and a few wind gusts here but it’s gone now and I think we are we getting a little warm up after I think I froze my Poinsettia I am going to give it a few days. Of sun and rest and hope for the best do not wish to purchase another for the outside. I sure didn’t think it was be that cold last night, and the temperatures were not expected to be at 32 or below but something happened maybe too much wind.
I am not sure Mickey and  Kathryn will be here for Christmas as they have had difficulty at their house
scheduling work in several areas. Mickey will not say for sure that they can’t come but I am going under the assumption that they will not be here at least not now .I bought a new TV for the living room today for I Have talked about replacing for several years. I will move the living room TV into one of the guest bedrooms as it is OK to watch for a short. Period. The Small one I have in  there Would that work when the DIRECTV folks connected it they claimed that if a set sits too long, they go sometimes just break sort of like car repair personnel who tell you that short trips at low speeds. It’s not good for car engines. Could be who knows.
I have a couple little trees, one outside and one in decorated with the multicolored Christmas lights, and I love it after years of having all white lights. This looks just magical well at any rate it’s pretty
 Sounds like good news for zippo.
Thanks all for the pretty morning pictures and stories? M Sleep well and SIDS

Lani, I didn't think of that, but I would love to believe that some of the Decorah kids pass through Decorah in their travels - I wish we knew! Still cold, 10 right now! Thanks for the updates on SWFL, it won't be long til we see a bobblehead!

Phyl, love the New Yorker cover! Reading about Friday the 13th after I finish this post, I didn't realize it was FRIDAY the 13TH today!  ::)

karen, oh I hope Micky and Kathryn get their house problem resolved so they can still come visit you for Christmas! I know you have been so looking forward to it...

tsk, a good time in Milwaukee, you always have a good time when you go there! I bet you are your nieces/nephews favorite Aunt!

Phyl, glad you were able to trim Maggie's claws, I wish I could do the same for mine. But no, they act like I am going to kill them if I even try. I have to let the vet do it, I wish I knew their secret!

baz, good that Zippo continues to improve, sounds like she is just a hair away from normal, you are a good Mom! No problem if it's icy tomorrow, nr and I will get together during the week if necessary! It will be in the 40s Monday, Tuesday and Thursday!

Lisa, have you been baking goodies?

Happy Friday.

still only 3 above heading up to 15 above.....nope on that walk Ollie man.

I stepped out on my upper deck to check on my bathroom vent....looks like the ice has dropped from 2 inches to 1 inch?...we've had some morning/easterly sun yesterday and today.

Unfortunately tomorrow though getting up to 31 got a weather alert for treacherous travel tomorrow due to ice tonight and tomorrow.

Sunday and Monday above freezing I'm hoping...to melt that ice on my vent.

Guess I'll grill steak today at around 12 above and do soup tomorrow....no stepping on deck with ice tomorrow.

More ice coming tonight so will report next week as well.

kb I've had roof vent pipes freeze up at several cabins over the years.
Same result: very slow draining of everything and a gurgling toilet especially.

Now that Chris is reporting the upstairs (?) toilet is working properly.
1) Try running really hot water in that bathrooms sink to finish off melting the ice plug. 1/2 hour maybe.

BE AWARE. Don't just "set it and forget it".
Keep an eye on that sink to make sure it doesn't overflow !

If you have safe access to the attic ..
2) You can go up into the attic with a hair dryer/extension cord.
With the hair dryer on low heat the copper pipe (conducts heat very well) from inside the attic just below it's exit through the roof.

3) Open the hatch / attic access door for maybe an hour.
All the hot air from upstairs will rise up into the attic and might be enough heat to "finish her off".
Of course your heating bill will take a temporary hit with the temps your having.  ::)   :( 
 

Spring time attic project:
Insulate the portion of copper vent pipe inside the attic from attic floor up to it's exit through the roof.
We haven't ever had it happen again after we did that.    :)   8)

As usual very helpful info BL - yes it's the upstairs toilet. I can run the hot water in the sink.

The attic access is problematic for me though. It's from a ladder in the garage, crossing wood holding "junk above the garage. The access door is easy enough if one can get to it through all the furniture and junk.!

I have told Trevor my junk guy who removed junk from my garage I will need him next spring to do the same in my garage ceiling pile which has the access to my attic.

Scott and I blew in enormous amounts of insulation in the attic a few years after we got married. Helped immensely with ice dams of course and heating in house. I haven't been up there nor has Scott to visualize the vent pipes though, nor to see how much has settled. Also those baffles?.

I keep procrastinating on all this as my roof is now 25 years old and I keep thinking I'll get around to all that when I replace the roof. However after multiple inspections it's in good shape.

I'm sure you are correct though and will save your info.

So far, so good on the toilet....crossing my fingers as we have lots of winter left.

15 minutes into 30 of hot water in sink.

To my eye at the moment, vent looks clear but I can't see inside it.

Also looked clear late last night but visualized 1 inch of ice this morning.

For good measure before ice comes tonight I'll keep running it..

Thanks again. No over flowing of sink in bathroom whatsoever.

kb at this point if all in that bathroom is draining normal and as before I would say you're good to go with that pesky ice plug.

My go to plumber guy 100% agreed with your go to plumber guy as in it really takes unusual weather and household conditions for it to happen.

I'd say save the hot water $ and go take a nice Calgon.

    ~   An occasional old time plumbers dirty trick from way back in the day    ~

If a costumer would not pay their bill on a big job after a long period of time.

The plumber would sneak up on the non-paying costumers roof and gently tap cork plugs into the vent stacks.

Costumer ?? now what the heck nothings draining !

We can't call "Bob" the plumber we owe him lots of money, we'll just call "Joe" the plumber ..

Joe scratches his head for the whole day racking up even more $$$ until he breaks out the ladder and goes up on the roof.   

Joe to costumer ?

Did you perhaps forget to pay your last plumber ?

Joe hands the costumer the cork plugs and his bill.

Joe hands the costumer the cork plugs and his bill.

LOL....luckily I pay my bills and I have plumbers that don't over charge!.....

Brrrrrounce

BL... Lolol.
We used to have the problem. For many years we would set up the (painted to match the room) hinged pieces of wood that would direct the heat from the bathroom register toward the toilet. Then, a decade ago, my brother built a covered, insulated tunnel inside our walk-in attic from behind the register along behind the bathroom wall to the toilet area where the vent pipe rises. We haven't had a problem since. Knock on wood.

kb - The soup sounds delicious.  When I took Jeff out for his birthday dinner, the waitress brought us a lil sample of butternut squash & crab soup.  It was tasty and different, and had a hint of nutmeg in it.  As cold as your temps are, I don't think Jeff would have grilled either. 

Good night, everyone  :)

Awesome short eared owl  in MN By Ben Stoterau
Some really 'Brrr!' days for everyone this week.
Fantastic news from  SWFL via   wiskernwings!  And,  estimated hatch in  33 hours! Great news...appreciated the snaps

Two handsome 'fellas' in a convertible this afternoon .
Chili sounds great...No. 1 Chinese for us tonight. I'd love some green tomatoes thick cut and rolled in corn meal, pan fried colden and topped
with ketchup.  ;)
Back is better...for now as long as I don't sleep flat or sit too long.
Salmon gently baked and basted with real butter and olive oil w/ a Caesar salad.
Time to let the faucets slowly drip at night. Some good info posted  this afternoon.





 Good Night Beakers... SEDs

tsk, you beat me this morning! I managed to sleep a little later than usual! I didn't think of giving the cats gabapentin and then trying to trim their claws! And I should have because the vet gave me some to give to Harley so they could trim his!

Lani, oh, NE31 at NEFL! Thanks for the pic, they are beautiful!  And we almost have a hatch at SWFL! Just checked, no hatch yet but chat says you can hear chirps! I forgot that it was Friday the 13th, nothing bad happened except that we got freezing rain during the night! High today 35 so it won't be around too long. Hey, it's Iowa, winter weather expected this time of year!

BL, I think I would want to know just what those flying objects were up to! And it's just in NJ, is there some big secret government project going on around there?  :o :o

Phyl, absolutely gorgeous scenery in the Pyrenees, and then the fat little Bullfinch!  Thank you! Your dinner sounds so good! We will be having chili tomorrow evening, the kids will be over for our Christmas, I can't wait to see Talon and Bella open their presents! Another good 365, the Oystercatchers! I was waiting for one to get an oyster! Then one did and he had to run with it! Bad hair day for those morning cats!

In the linked video, we are invited to discover the captivating Snowy Owl. This magnificent creature is truly an ice and snow spirit, reigning supreme in the Arctic. With its beautiful plumage and piercing eyes, it is a sight to behold. The video, filled with #Healing moments, showcases the owl in all its glory, making every frame a testament to the love and admiration it inspires. Its presence is not only a display of nature's wonder but also brings a sense of peace and charm, as if its #Healing Smiles can warm even the coldest of Arctic landscapes. Prepare to be mesmerized by this Arctic royalty as you click the link and embark on a visual journey into the world of the Snowy Owl.

just gorgeous. And shows their size next to a human.
At the Raptor Center I saw lots of them in for rehab...and yes, they are larger in person than they look on film

Reports that in parts of MN 4-5 have been found hit by vehicles in the last month. Ugg.....slow down peeps!

Good Caturday Morning Beakers

Nasty weather here this morning...  Freezing rain started about 1am this morning with a temp of 24 - now up to 30 and still getting freezing rain.  Temp is forecast to get above freezing between noon and 1pm.  DOT map is showing a lot of Eastern Iowa with 100% ice on roads, but cameras on I-80 shows light traffic moving normally.  Temp forecast to get up to 37 this afternoon with rain, so most of the ice should get melted.  I have no need to go anywhere until my weekly card game at 5pm. ;)

I missed all 13th warnings - Had my bad day on the 12th, beat the 13th rush.

All I did was take a stroll out to the mailbox - an early morning 911 and a bonus to trip to Good Sam.  Bundled up good, was just strolling, early quiet, no rush.  Did everything right except stay on my two feet.

Let's just get it out -- two bones fractured in my left wrist.  I know it was my fault totally.  Was not rushing, just let my mind roam and plan else I had to do that morning.  Vital rule/caveat people over 60?  No multi-tasking.  One thing at a time. I even had good shoes, no ice, sun coming up.  Brain turned off. Upps, big no-no.  Biggest problem (my alibi) is it was the fault of my Crocs and my slate entryway.  No, not wearing my flip-flops.  In winter I swish over to Crocs Brooklyn slip-ons.  Hate the looks of their flips, even though I probably have 3 dozens.  In case the situation ever happens to you. . . All Crocs don't slip, very safe, found that out as a good reason to buy so many (even tho they're ugly).  Second, when cold hits slate flooring it will form either dampness or outright frost.  And I repeat, my mind wandered.

In 4 weeks  they'll check out what stage I'm in.  Might be 6-8 weeks.  Present situation:  Christmas cancelled on my end.  About half through decorations, niece's husband was just here on Tuesday to get things down or out; cards and stuff laying all over dinette ready to write; list made for all the food, fish, cookie stuff --- just think of all the $$$$ saved.  Thought I'd able to handle things - but then again, I could drive, I could get into the car, I could just flash the CC and have things delivered - BUT -  I wouldn't be able to close the car door to even leave the garage(left side, big, heavy door).  Ergo special dispensation granted!!! 



I LOVE CHRISTMAS AND ALL THE TRIMMINGS.  This will be the second time in my home (1971) that I have to cancel.   :'(  :'(  :'(   .........

KB   Good news on the toilet.  ;D

PUFF   Do we have to start telling you to wear your bubble wrap coat!!!  That must have been awful.  Were you able to get up or just wait for 911 to get you up?   Hugs to you and hope you are not in too much pain.  You are right hand dominant?

LISA   Yes, I practically live there this time of year  LOLOL.  Our Advent giving project will be over tomorrow and we have to pack about 7- 50 gal bins with all things a new refugee mama would need.  Lots of helpers signed up so will go faster than our first time last year with this particular project.

CLYNN  Thanks for that great news E 24

OLDGUY   Smart move!  We were suppose to get rain that never seemed to materialize this afternoon.

Off to another Xmas concert tonight.  Wish it wasn't so cold.  Brrr.

Puff, maybe it is time for your niece and maybe some others to learn-the secrets of your Christmas feast!   It is a wonderful time to start this! Have the groceries delivered , the recipes out and let the fun begin!  Maybe too much for all your dishes so pick a few and encourage others to pick one of their special ones have sit back and enjoy the season and family and friends.   Think about it! Asssw, wiskernwings to the rescue.  Baby and. daddy pjoto below.

Brrrrrounce
PUFF.. !! Dang it. Both times I fell in 2017 it was my mind wandering, well, Planning. You know me. Take it easy... Hugs

I regularly step out the door to get the mail while barefoot. It is enough to wake a person up. Lol.

Camper helped me move a rod full of my clothing from the closet so I could drag 4 of the buckets of Christmas decorations from the back of my closet yesterday. He then brought the buckets (and several bags and the tree stand) downstairs for me. I made a new grouping of stuffed animals on the pump organ, with a string of lights. I checked the tree lights and Tig and Pooh today. All set for our tree pickup appt. on Wednesday.

We didn't know for whom to root today... our Dads were in the Army but Camper's 4 grandkids are in the Navy.

Tig, soundslike you had a winner either way, today.

Clynn, missed your post about e 24!   F23 is sleeping now!  Big day fir her and mNy, many more to come!
Phyl, I thought you mentioned back surgery once.  Had titanium rods, etcput in. neck maybe?  Was sure it was spinal.

Tsk, your GreenBay brother is sure to see  snowy Owls   They spend about 6 months on the shores of Green Bay!  A shame  there was
are  only 100,000 of them in the world.    Except for the wing span, they ar e small at 4-5 pounds!

Happy Caturday night, Beakers!   :)

Zippo is doing good. She had no respiratory symptoms yesterday, so I started the 7 days of meds the vet said to give her when the symptoms were gone. This is Day 2 of 7 for that, and hoping there won't be a relapse when that is done... very sharp parrotnails crossed!

I haven't walked in over a week, maybe close to 2 weeks now, thanks to a cranky knee. But it was a pretty day today - got up to 64 - so I put a compression wrap on my knee, and hauled out the cane, and went for a short spin in the neighborhood. I didn't walk as far as I had planned, which wasn't very far, but I was out much longer than I planned anyway because several neighbors were walking their lovable pups, all of which I had to stop and love on... thank goodness I remembered to take my bag of doggy treats from the fridge... all doggies were happy tailwaggers!  ;) ;D

Pip Pip Hooray at NEFL, and Welcome E24 at SWFL!!  :) :-* :-*


Oldguy, good move on canceling the card game tonight. Maybe you all could share some good cheer by zoom instead?

Clynn, I bet early Christmas is lots of fun at your house tonight!

BL, if they get too close to their air, tell yo' Mama-Llamas to spit and kick those drones in their rotors and kiss 'em goodbye!!  ;D

Lisa, mmm, you got to taste both the butternut squash soup and crab soup! I love both of those. I'm making my favorite crab bisque for Christmas this year. The last time I made it for Christmas, I had whole Maine lobster to go with it - many years ago. I decided this year to have filet mignon with it. And a bourbon pecan pie for dessert.  8)

Karen, I'm hoping Mickey will get down to your place for Christmas after all, but if not, hopefully she will make it there for an early Spring visit.

Lani, glad your day was better than the one before. What happened? I'm hoping the Chiefs will pull off another win tomorrow! They sure have been making me nervous recently, though!

TSK, it sounds like your Milwaukee family get-together was a fun time! How is Tim feeling these days?

Phyl, glad your back is some better!

KB, Snowy Owls are gorgeous animals!

Tig, have fun decorating!

(((Puff))) I'm so sorry for your fall and broken wrist! Call on your nice neighbors to help you out over the holidays this year! They will be happy to do so!

Waving to All the Beakers!   :)

baz, good to see you, glad you were able to get a walk in! And hooray for Zippo! You are a good bird Mom, I am sure Zippo agrees! Sweet of you to take doggy treats along, you want to see those wagging tails! I finished up, making caramels and pizzelles yesterday, so all holiday goodies are done!  Love the pictures of Lil' Punkin and Lil' Bro, they are such cuties!

Lani, I can't wait to see the Munchkins open their presents! We always have chili and Cheddar Bay biscuits, and there are plenty of goodies!

tsk, how was the concert? You are surely in the Christmas mood now! FB - I don't know who Deanne is, but it was me at nr's yesterday! I noticed that you saw the pictures !

oldguy, good choice, not to venture out last night! It was okay when I went to nr's at 2:00, just wet and rainy. I saw that you got it a lot worse than we did!

Lisa, will you be getting together with Bradley and family for Christmas? I hope so....

Tea at NR's yesterday!

Well, the card game is off for tonight - temps did not rise as forecasted - only 33 and rain - forecast was for 37 by now.  Too many old folks to try and walk uphill on ice. ;)

((Puff))

Thanks og - Found out Thursday old folk can have trouble walking out the door to the garage.

Appreciate your concern too clynn  It was my LEFT wrist - I'm glad I got at least that bit of advantage.  Now maybe someone could tell me how to get into the car and shut the door among other things.  You never know until it becomes a necessity.  One thing I know is a big issue -- getting out of the bra within the next three weeks or so.  I did think through the idea of ordering maybe 3 new front open style.  That is my next plan of attack for yet another issue.

Let me relax over a nice relaxing cup of tea.  (opps another kink - how to squeeze out a soggy teabag without making a mess.   :-\

CLYNN   That looks like an Advent dream catcher... ;) ;)   I knew that was you at NR;s as you mentioned going to tea there yesterday.  What a presentation.  Looked very professional to me.  Concert a lot of fun - Had an audience participation in " 12 Days of Christmas" which was really funny.  ;D

How's your situation oldguy ?

Nope, Ollie man, if we can't even walk out to the street across the driveway we ain't going!

Was able to push most off the decks so can grill today.

clynn - Thanks for the pic of the newest SWFL kiddo!  And, to answer your question in latest post, no we won't be seeing them for Christmas.  Things are still the same.  :-\
Very nice holiday tea at nr's!

oldguy - Probably best to cancel card game with the weather.

tsk - How nice that you had lots of helpers this year for your project.  Hope you enjoyed the Christmas concert. Love your morning greeting.

karen - Those are great ideas for Puff.  I wish I had watched and learned from my grandmother when I was growing up.  There are some recipes of hers that I would love to make.  I have tried replicating them, but it just doesn't taste the same.

tig - Sounds like you are all ready for your tree.

Lani - Awww, love the faces on the pups last night!  I can't remember if you said, is Aly coming for Christmas?

baz - I am not telling Jeff what you are having for Christmas dinner, he may want to do the same  ;D  Love the pics of the kiddos with Santa. 

Phyl - Love those puzzles.  I might have to get Jeff the Polar Express one.  He loves that movie.

I'm stunned:

about 1/2 hour ago sitting in my living room saw a guy come from my south on my side of the road with a Michael Myers Halloween full face mask on. Kept looking behind him...a poor woman carrying coffee was just walking down the street on the other side and she just took off running up the street. He crossed the street as well and walked up the sidewalk, a short one.

I have no idea what to make of it. But surely he's up to "no good"....We composed ourselves after checking our surveillance video, Chris went out to look up the street. So now will watch for any posts nearby of anything amiss...we've clipped/saved our video.

This city is now weird.

KB   Got me to the" So that's Minnesota" page.  Vikings play Bears tomorrow night.  Packers play tonight.  Very strange observation of guy with mask

LISA    Home by 3:30 after sorting all the baby goodies and getting into bins.   We had some help from some youth group boys ( 4) and 3 members of our ministry besides my co-leader and me plus an interested parishioner.   Of course, some people took a card off the tree and didn't bring back the gift on it so I had to make a run to target for several things to complete 6 bins.  Last year we filled 7.  Our Angel Gift card program did not do well this year either... :-\ :-\ Hmmmm.   By the way  Tim as of yesterday now on .5 Ozempic and insulin reduced to 5 units twice a day.  Now we see how he does on that combo.   Could be another week - if he does good - then he can eliminate the insulin.

KAREN   Now we start the next baby book at SWFL   ;D

LANI    LOLOLOL  the Pope's official "top dog" at the Vatican!    ;D

tsk - That was very nice of you to run out to Target to complete the things for the bins.  Sad, that the Angel tree didn't do well this year. 
Wow, good job Tim!!  I am jealous of him if he gets off his insulin! Will he have to take oral meds only at that point?  Is the Ozempic a shot too or an oral med?

kb - Oh yikes, that is very creepy.  Sure hope nothing happened to the lady.

karen - Aww, SWFL kiddos looking cute!

Hello Beakers

The weather forecasters are not doing well with this storm...  Was forecasted to get into the upper 30s today - instead it hoovered just above 32 all day - ice did loosen up so I could scrape it off the concrete this afternoon.  It has been foggy since last evening - forecast to get to the mid 40s tomorrow - we will see...

Some Christmas music...

tsk - it was a video of an eagle standing on ice with open water nearby. I assume the Mississippi.

The eagle is watching the water for a long time and then out of nowhere behind it another eagle grabs a fish out of the water with the original one looking dumbfounded.

He then played it back in slow mo.

Cute. Sorry you couldn't open it.

Wow, I slept late this morning! I was worn out last night. The Munchkins and Kelsey were so much fun opening their presents! I will post pictures later, I have to get them on Pinterest.

Phyl, pics coming! Love the elves! Gotta go get Kelsey up, BBL to read the rest of your post!

BL, is there snow on the ground in Vermont? Wonder how many miles you have hiked in your lifetime...

Lani, awww, Aly won't be able to get home for Christmas? At least you can Facetime or Zoom or whatever it is they do now. On Mom's birthday we were able to video talk with Janet and George in England! It was great seeing them! You will get a lot done while Mike is gone, I wish Ed would get called for a business trip so I could clean in the Mole Hole! Love the little Bulldog in his Christmas jammies!

tsk, you are truly an Angel, all of the work you do for the Church and people! Glad to hear Tim is doing well with the Ozempic! He will lose some weight on it as well. I have been using it since March, I have lost 23 pounds! My A1C was 5.3, although it was only 6.7 before. I am taking it mostly to lower the risk of stroke/heart attack.

Lisa, maybe ask your Doctor about Ozempic? You never know, it might enable you to get off the insulin...

Good Morning Beakers 🎄

It is salon day, but wanted to pop in and say morning!
Typing this from my phone so sorry for any mistakes! 


Clynn - S and S are just beautiful!  There are certain kinds of insulin pens that make my Fibromyalgia flare up, cause they cause joint pain. I will have to ask her if ozempic is that kind of insulin pen. I want to say, if I remember correctly they are called DPP4 inhibitors.
Can’t wait to see your pics of the munchkins and Kelsey from last night.

Phyl - Cute elf figurines

Tsk - I would be counting down the days too! 

Lani - Aww, I bet Aly was looking forward to coming home too for the holidays.

Very witty me thinks!

Got a courageous walk in with Ollie earlier with yaktrax on. Had fog/mist/frozen precip over night.
Was 35 above when I left but still:
some concrete and tar was slippery. My driveway moocho slippery and my decks.
So walked on the grass down the hill, people's boulevards, walked slowly and made it!
Could not tell with wet surfaces and dark clouds...which was ice and which wasn't.

Sun is out intermittently now so should be drying.

Stay safe all!

It is now being transferred to the Wildlife Rehab Center in Roseville MN

Howdy Beakers!  :)

I'm late, but here.  ;) It got to 72 degrees here today - and I went for a 25 minute walk in the neighborhood - not very far since I was walking slower than usual, and paying attention.  I didn't wrap my knee today (probably should have, but it worked out ok), and didn't need a cane, but I did take a regular strength ibuprofen before setting out - good decision.  Nice day! And glad to be able to get out for a walk! Will be even more unusually warm here the next 2 days before some rain and a cool down, and then much colder Christmas week. We need the rain badly - in moderate drought, and hoping it won't get to the severe drought level, though some places not too far from me are already in the severe drought range. Ugh, as is so much of the country.

Zippo continues to do well - only 3 more day of meds, twice a day. She doesn't fight it so much anymore, like she did at first, but I know she will be glad to be through with it soon!  :) :-*

Lani, thanks for the Bear Center update. Lucky  :-*  Aww, sweet close-up pic of that squirrel.  :-*  Yay Chiefs!!  :D

TSK, that's great news about Tim doing so well, and hopefully will get to ditch the insulin injections soon! Fingers crossed! You did a lot of work getting those bins filled at church. I'm glad you had a little bit more help. That's awful that some people took tags for giving, but didn't bring the promised items. I would be tempted to let them know that an extra shopping trip had to be made to purchase the items that those people didn't deliver on.

KB, fun throwback pics of Lollie, and a nice remembrance pic of Scott. Glad that pheasant was safely rescued.

Puff, glad you have 2 of your nearest and dearest around that you can call upon for some help here and there while you mend.  :)

Lisa, I love the pic of the kitties that Jeff posted!  :D :-*

Phyl, did you get thunderstorms today? It looked like there was a line of storms on radar crossing that area today. I hope it was helpful rain, and not anything severe.

BL, enjoy making tracks in Vermont! I saw a lot of white stuff there on the weather news.

Tig, was that a pic of your mug of "Yummy" after your pool time?  Mmm... tasty!

Oldguy, ugh on the work of clearing that ice - glad you could get it done though. Thanks for the tunes!  :)

Karen, what a sweet pic of newly mostly dried fluffball, E24.  :-* Your team won - yay!

Clynn, I love those "before" and "now" pics of Sam and Soph!  :-* :-*  Lucky and the chipmunk!  :-* :-*  It sounds like a great time was had by all at your house last night! I bet it made for a good day for everyone to sleep in - especially you!  :D  I was going to post this for me today, but you deserve it more!  ;) ;D

Yay!!  Here's one article about it - but there are many more, and there are some links in this one to some related good info, for instance from the National Eagle Center, related to the effort:

SKOL Vikings!   27 to 12 with 2 minutes to go so...I'm giving up for the night.

Baz - great pic of cousins and yes nice they get together.

1/2 of mine were 2,000 miles away and grateful we did get together....as we now are old it's near impossible to do that anymore.

Kb, Love nostalgia, enjoyed listening to Andy Williams... had the Traditional Christmas channel on today.  :)

Tsk, This change of events for Aly that she was informed of last week. Let me review, In the States, there are typically two levels of licensure for mental health professionals: associate/apprentice or provisional licensure, and full licensure. Aly will be 4 months shy of a fully licensed therapist in June, when Oregon's new medicare requirements goes into effect. Because Oregon's Non-Profit Therapy Groups are complaining not enough Associate/Apprentice mental health workers will work for them. Oregon has made a change, in that all associate/apprentice or provisional licensure will no longer be allowed to accept medicare patients. They have to give up their medicare patients and work for a non-profit mental health center (like Payson's Community Bridges) So, In June Aly has to give up her patients, her new office and find a job with a non-profit which will not provide her with the needed funds to continue to live in her apartment. She has to work to find new options for the new year. It's a confusing situation, she's very unhappy about this turn of events with Oregon. How does she keep the years of hours she has accumulated, find a non profit to accept her for only 4 months or find something longer with a non-profit. Will she have to return home because she won't be making enough to afford to rent an apartment. She's very upset about having to give up her clients. Again, it's very confusing. I barely understand half of what is happening. But, it's a change she has to prepare for and she doesn't want to leave her in-person only clients for the holidays now.

Phyl, adorable Christmas elves.... what a precarious place to start combating.

Clynn, oh my Sam & Sophie have grown, beautiful color..... Love Black Bear Lucky and chipmunk.

Lisa, yes, Aly was excited... I had to get their gifts in the mail.  :( .... the FB pics look like Bandit and Missy. They looking for a home?

Kb, funny two identical cats story  ;D ... ugh, that masked guy again.  :(

Tig, nice morning with Camper, topped of with a yummy!

Baz, great pic of the greats!  ;D Congratulations for the American Bald Eagle!

Congrats Viking!

Good night!

Lani, that is a very complicated situation that Aly is in and how unfair that she has to give up what she has worked so hard to build. Are the laws in AZ better than the new ones in OR? Thanks for the Bear report! Sweet kitty sleeping in the stocking...

baz, it's about time the Bald Eagle is OFFICIALLY the US Bird! I thought it already was!  Great pic of the cousins at the pool, they are all growing so fast, that is going to be a tall buy! Glad to hear you are walking more, after Christmas I have to get back to picking what indoor walking pad I want to get! I bet Zippo will be so glad to be done with the meds! Do you get her a special treat for Christmas? My cats are getting the automatic litter box (more for me than for them...   ;D). And some new toys and treats!  I love the jingle saying, I am going to remember that one!

tsk, I wonder how the Ozempic works for those who don't need to lose weight, it seems like most people with diabetes tend to be at least a bit overweight. At least on the commercials on tv!

Lisa, wow, those kitties look like Bandit and Misty for sure! I checked for you, Ozempic is not a DPP4 inhibitor, it is a semaglutide.

Pictures from Sunday night!

KB   At least this pheasant is safe. ::)   Baby and kitten vid  Sweet  ;D

KAREN   Yup.  finished my Hallmark movie and started a Fr Brown  LOLOL  Right, Packers have always been a "go to team"

BAZI   There are a lot of things I would like to say in setting up a project but know it won't make any difference.  Yesterday when all was said and done, someone brought in a baby bathtub, baby nail clippers, and a 3 pack of onsies.  Of course the stop date for bringing items in was Sunday at 11 AM   ::) ::) ::)  It will always be that way.  I just lower my expectations...  You are right about the first cousins getting to know each other living so far apart.  I was never close to my first cousins.   Thanks for the announcement on a symbol we unoffically have adopted for eons  LOLOL

LANI   What a terrible unanticipated disaster for Aly!!   To give up her clients would be the hardest thing and am sure they , the clients, won't like it either.  Will say prayers that somehow some good will come out of it all.  :-* :-*

CLYNN  Love that simple wood tree.  Would be easy to make if you were in a wooded area that provided those straight pieces. Kelsey is so cute  LOLOL  What was the second present she was so excited about?   Looks like Christmas at my childhood home - Presents everywhere!!

Lisa  the FB pics look like Bandit and Misty. Hope the pair find a good forever home.


Kb   cute identical cats story  ...  that masked guy again. IMHO  the man has some issues. Find out where he lives, get a photo of him in those
masks and call the police.

Baz   Tks for snaps of the 'greats'...Yes. We got some heavy rain. I had a manicure appt yesterday  afternoon and since I only had a hooded jacket my leggings got soaked. Got home and the humidity made a slow dry of my nails and  changing  from wet clothes to day sweats was  a real challenge .

baz - Wow, you had some nice warm temps.  Glad to hear that you got a walk in, and hope your knee is feeling much better.  Good news about Zippo!  Great pic of the lil Greats!

kb - OMG, the babies and kitties, adorable!

Lani - Yikes, that does sound all so confusing for Aly.  I am sure her patients will hate to give her up too!  Yes, those two senior kitties are looking for a home.  They are at the Chesapeake Cats and Dog Rescue, which Jeff follows on FB.  The post said, their owner is now in assisted living and could not take them.   :(

clynn - Thanks for checking out to see if Ozempic was a DPP4, good to know it isn't.  Looks like everyone LOVED their Christmas presents!

karen, YAY, welcome to the world E25!  Thanks for the news! Thanks for the RRP Memory Lane, still going through the videos! The Synchronized Looking is so cute!

tsk, every time Erin comes over she wants a hoodie like his! He wore a red one on one day, and a light brown one another day. She wanted both! And then he got her a black one, and also black for himself and Sydney! As you remember, Kelsey and Kay used to have matching hoodies on the weekends, she has now transferred that to Erin. And now it doesn't matter if they have words on them, these are all plain, and inexpensive from Kohls!  I noticed when I was home for Aunt June's service that most of my cousins are pretty close with each other, they live within 100 miles of each other. The exception is my Uncle and his kids, who live much farther away. Funny, he was in the Air Force too! I guess there is something to that, we aren't as tied to the hometown as those that are close by.

Dec 17, 2024
GLG has been incubating her egg for the past 9 days. RLK arrived back to the colony today with skycall greetings for his mate GLG.💕 He sits down next to her and they both give each other sweet interactions and preening affection. They are a lovely young couple! RLK is patient and waits for GLG to get up off the egg and he immediately switches places with her and begins his incubation duties for the next several days.

I got in another nice walk today - and it was a sunny afternoon of 74 degrees! Just beautiful!!

I walked again without a knee wrap or a cane, after taking 1 standard dose of ibuprofen, for 30 minutes... a little farther than I walked yesterday. My knee is a bit wobbly, but it hung in there! Yay!

Zippo was ready to "Let's Go, Mom!!" when she got up this morning. LOL! I'm so glad she's feeling so much better! Only 2 more days of meds after today. We both say YAY! to that!!  ;D

Hmmm, it seems like I had something more pertinent to post here right now, but I'll be doggone if I can remember what it was.  ??? ::) ;)  It will probably come to me when I wake up around 3 AM to make a bathroom run.  8) ;D

Till then...

Waving to All the Beakers!!  :D

CLYNN   Wow that is the ultimate puzzle board.  I just use a large piece of cardboard and it swivels on my card table.  LOL  I have two sets of 6 sorting boxes each and they sit on the sofa behind me - easy access.  But I must say 1 hour 30 min is my limit.  I'm about half way through the cat puzzle you got me to buy  LOLOL  A toughy  Started it the Thursday before Thanksgiving and have missed only 3 days of working on it.

KB    VERY cute babies.   It's a mess here in Chi town.  So many high hopes for them this year. :P

BAZI   Good vid of frustration!! ;D

OK   for all you Windows users who have gotten the notice that  10 will no longer be supported next year...Do we need to get new computers? or see if currect computer will support 11?   OLDGUY Do you have advice on this??

tsk, I hate it when they change things like that, I never know what to do. Erin!!! Help your Mom!!  Windows 11 came out in Oct 2021. I think I got in on the first Windows 11 with my PC because that is about when I got it. I wish I had gone to Apple. My Dad's laptop is Windows Vista (released Jan 2007), Mom can still use it for email and all, it's just not tech supported any more.

Lani, I think that Lab looks VERY guilty! Kelsey is still excited over her new hoodies! Mom always gives me $$ to get something for Kelsey, I got her a hoodie with a Siamese Cat on it, I think she will love it!

Phyl, I remember Cathy and I pouring through the JC Penney's Christmas Catalog and marking everything we wanted! Same with the Sears Christmas catalog! Found this article: https://www.irememberjfk.com/when-big-catalogs-came-in-the-mail/

First a reminder - Doing all this one handed!  4 weeks minimum.  Hope to have it done by lunchtime.   ???

Sports in IL - Forget about it.  No team or reason to watch.  Sox, Bulls, Hawks going nowhere.  What they have to do is concentrate less on new/improved facilities - start building teams to be worth any outlays.  Fools. 

Having trouble since November with buzz on phone service.  Fourth appt yesterday.   Various glitches, mostly buzz.  Again tech said it's mice digging to eat on wires.  They seem to favor main junction boxes.  (Time to treat metal and/or wire with mouse repellant killer?)  Yesterday rep said unannounced plans are advancing to switch all landlines over to wireless, computerized services.  Warned it's only years away. 

Then there's the W/11 issue - with a reminder.  Last year I gave my computer, W10 updated, its Saturday night bath.  My computer tech said - nope, you need a new machine and get a new 11.  Truth be told - Old dog / New Tricks is my bane since then.  New in Sept/Oct 2023.  Most irritating issue is scanning.  With my travel work scanning took over emailing info back and forth.  I even had a quick connect with my Print/Scan option on HP Multi printer.  Took seconds.  Had 3 "aid" instructors.  My go-to answer currently is a trip to local UPS $2 a file outlet.  Any pro out there - I'll pay transportation cost for an on-site tutor.  I mean it, free air ticket included.  Too much to go into here.  Never say die.  I do recognize the need for increased safety nowadays.  I do have $$$ client sums to deal with, worry about - but really!

Just venting - House bound - Pain

Breakfast & meds - Over and out

The water dept. tech. was very nice yesterday. He was able to run a new wire where the old one from years ago was. And he mounted the new register sideways to be less obtrusive on our newer siding.

We go to pick up our tree today. I'll be decorating it tomorrow while watching the snow fall.  8)

I just checked with my computer guy who used to live here ( now married and lives in Tn.)   He said just wait til early next year - He has heard that some computers may be able to support Win 11 afterall.

BL is there snow on the ground in Vermont?

Wonder how many miles you have hiked in your lifetime ..

Trail Condition.
At the time of our hike up Mount Mansfield in VT there was about a foot of hard packed 'trail'.
In the pines to either side of the tread 2 feet of heavy wet down in the bows.

Clynn in 2020 I did some back of the envelope math on that in a spread sheet.
My criteria was hiking boot miles with a back pack on.

After I got done with all of the long distance backpacking trips and approaches to climbs and day-hikes miles.

Impossible to calculate really.

Hiking boot miles with a back pack on walked around the Equator once absolutely.

Probably coming up on twice by now.

TSK... for ever... there was a box on the house with a register and a wire leading down through the window well to the water meter. About 10 years ago the removed the outside register and used a register inside, at the meter. Now they say that system wasn't accurate nor sustainable so they are going back to the old system. Of course we will all pay for it on our bills.

Hello Beakers

TSK - this video talks about the options on installing Win 11 on a non-supported computer
 Microsoft Now Allowing Windows 11 on Unsupported Hardware   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfUjB7k59kE

The major stumbling block for Win 11 is a requirement for a chip called TPM 2.0 - this is a hardware security feature - it prevents online hacks into a computer.  Computer experts have been installing Win 11 on to non compliant computers for about 2 years.  The major issue is online security - Win 11 will be relying on TPM for the security where older Windows relied on software solutions.  After Oct. 2025 any Win 11 without  TPM 2.0 will be vulnerable to hacks, is what I read between the lines in Microsoft's new instructions.
There has also been much discussion about what CPU is in the computer - Microsoft is not including many CPUs that the manufacturer states supports TPM 2.0 - this issue has never been clarified by Microsoft as to why they are listed as non-supported.

I will be making my change to Win 11 in the summer - and determine then if I upgrade my motherboard or not.  My board has TPM 2.0 but it is not turned on.

KB - thought of you on this video...

Nothing as fabulous as this...wonder how they did that?...computer some how.

Reminds me my sis just had a company put permanent lights on her house that move with music. She has about 100 different choices for all holidays too. During the rest of the year very visible lighting for her house. She learned about it from her son.
She sent me a video of her first night and will continue to do so as they change it up. Very professional.
I tried to copy it here but couldn't as it's a video. I'll have to take a picture of it off my puter and share tomorrow maybe.

Howdy Beakers!  :)

I ran errands today, and tried to finish getting everything I needed before Christmas so I wouldn't have to fight the crowds during the last few days before then. I thought that I would beat the crowds - talking about grocery shopping kind of thing, not gift shopping - specialty meal and snack items and regular grocery items - hoping to only need to make any last minute run for fresh items that I need to get very close to using, like fresh veggies, and very little of that is on my list for between now and Christmas Day. Boy was I wrong about beating the crowd! Cars were lined up waiting to get into parking spaces at Trader Joe's... ugh... I kept going when I saw that, and decided to come back after doing my other errands. The traffic was busy!! - just early afternoon - and I had to sit through 3 light cycles before getting through one intersection on my way to pay a bill that I always only pay in person now (it's a story).  Oh well, there was no hurry, really, so I listened to Jonathan Winters' reading of Dickens' A Christmas Carol on NPR on the radio while I was in the car. It was a nice "throwback" to listen and pass the time more enjoyably than counting how many traffic light cycles I was sitting through.  :)

For those who enjoy the story, here it is... It might make for good seasonal accompaniment during hot chocolate sipping, lighted tree gazing, jigsaw puzzle working, or just sitting and relaxing with eyes closed:

(Part of the NPR's Holiday Favorites special series... It's 58 minutes long, and the first 6 minutes is an interesting intro.)

Lani, it's so heartwarming to see tiny little eaglets again! And so the world turns...Kelsey adores her brother, I think because he teases her a lot. He is very, very good with her and makes her laugh a lot! I am wishing and praying for some snow for you!  Sweet good night doggie...

Phyl, love your good night kitty! I can't imagine trying to put a sweater on any of my cats!

baz, yes, it's crowded everywhere! Lots of people must take the whole week off before Christmas! I went to Sam's and it was packed at 10:00 in the morning. Gas was $2.36, and no lines there! Had to pick up prescriptions at the grocery store, it was also crowded! Thanks for A Christmas Carol, I will be watching it this afternoon!

oldguy, the Wyoming MN fire department video - Great!  Love the Walter Santi, always do!

BL, you have been about everywhere I am sure, and there would be no way to know how many miles, but we know - A LOT of miles on boots with a broken lug... Can you tell us what your Top Ten adventures were?

Lisa, you find such pretty Christmassy mugs!

tsk, never had to wear school uniforms. Ed did, he went to Catholic Schools, in High School, the boys went to Griffin, the girls went to Sacred Heart. (they were de-segrated in the 90s). But I think it must be different for boys, fashion wise! I wonder if they still have uniforms?

SWFL - Sharon Dunne - Beautiful First DUAL FEEDING By M15 & F23 For E's! 💕 Short But Sweet! 💕  VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHhBT9N4bAs
We have our first dual feeding of the season! ♥ M15 is on the nest and he gets up and begins to feed fish to E24 (on the left) and then to E25 (right). A few minutes later, F23 lands on the veranda tip and she is vocalizing. She drops to the nest and takes the red meat that M15 brought in today and begins to offer it to E25 while M15 offers fish to E24! Our first dual feeding! It didn't last very long as F23 took M15's fish away and then feed both E's from it. M15 went to the attic to perch.
F23 did a great job offering bites to both E's! We do have a tiny bit of sibling rivalry when E25 gives a tiny peck to E24 who did not like that and retaliated with a bonk. E25 gets right back up for the feeding. Two strong hatchlings! I hope we see more dual feedings from M15 & F23! Footage includes cam 1 and the 360! Enjoy the video!

BL  Ever hike to Wabasha?  Nice territory/museum.  Smart eagle fan = we all can now brag on the National Bird.  He did the right thing.

Can't do cast tsk  - ugly psycho case of claustrophobia.  Do have an elbow-to-wrist splint - with OK to open up if I need to escape/take it off.  At least 4 weeks, probably 8.  Lord help me.  Calling later this morning to see if it's OK to come in for a quick checkup.  Woke up this morning to find that the splint was totally off layin next to me.  I did that unconciously while asleep.  ::)  Call them after breakfast and postings.

Paulie - Had hires to do some work about Thanksgiving time; temps were good.  One did outside, another to put tree together and put lights on tree.  Niece's husband came last Wednesday to take things down off shelves and out of nooks and crannies.  Got ingredients for cookies, cards half completed, and plans for trip to Supreme Market for Italian fish salad.  Next day, Thursday morning, I took a trip of another kind.  By late afternoon I just knew Christmas could not / would not happen this year. 

I do have that gifted /Hallmark scene down.  Michelle or neighbor can maybe clean off an area and plug it in.  I also have my Madonna and Child statue in her designated table of honor.  After a week, neighbor Rosemarie (prof beautician) give me a wash and dry yesterday.  It's been over a week.

Also agree with all the back-n-forth about your knees paulie.  I know there's 3 pros in chat, and maybe even more, who I believe can answer and share on so many of those issues.

Fox news just did report from MSP  kb.  4" and more anticipated.  Careful!

LB I claimed your #2 pic this morning.  OK to share?

Hugs to you all

some bounce

45 minutes of shoveling was enough for me, for now. We got about 4.5 inches here, with another inch forecast for tonight. The snow is very light and fluffy so I managed to do the sidewalk and a path down the driveway for the mail person. My back was not happy with the new movements. Resting and rehydrating now. I'll sweep the front porch later.
I finished in time so Camper could walk out easily since he has a doctor appointment. He will get gas for the snow pup later to finish the driveway. My bro wanted to come help but he and S.I.L. have an illness.

Haven't seen a city plow yet....of course now the streets will be compacted and icy. Need to head out in the am. Sent a message to city supervisor and nada. Haven't seen a plow yet all season for that matter.
BTW our state blew through 18 billion in surplus somehow....and now in debt....I know how but won't say.

Chris however helped me this am. Shocker and we will both pay for it mightily. Got both decks in back done and then he started on the driveway and I helped him finish. Hoping this isn't a one time thing, although I had Trevor lined up to snow blow the drive which I cancelled.

Will have that big mound to do once the plows do come through if they do. Nada on walking or driving through the day for sure.

Not sure what we got. At least 5 plus inches...a few more to come, but I'm out of gas.

Ollie man destroyed his fish wiggling tail toy already. Lots of heavy shaking. ..oh well.

I posted a different post this am but comcast has been doing "routine maintenance" off and on all day since 8am. Couldn't have picked a better day sarc/.....when weather is important...

Title: Re: Beak Room 2024
Post by: oldguy on December 19, 2024, 08:11:50 PM

TSK

If the system is telling you that you have TPM 2.0, that means that it is also turned on.
Microsoft has an app, that needs to download and then run to verify if your computer meets the requirements for WIN 11

Go to 'settings' - 'Windows Update' - on right side column click on 'Check hardware requirements'

This brings up a web page that lists all of the minimums - scroll down to bottom and in the blue banner, click on 'Download PC Health Check App' - save file to location of your choice and then run file.  It will tell you if your computer meets requirements or if not, what requirements are not meet.  You may need to click on a highlighted word for Show All to view the list of items that meet the requirements.

If you meet all requirements, you can upgrade at any time - caution - backup all data files that reside on the C drive - other drives should not be effected.
You have up to 30 days to revert back to Win 10 if you have a problem with peripherals, such as printers/scanners/add on boards.  This allows you to update any devices that do not work properly, before reloading Win 11 or replace computer.

Tsk, The Scottsdale's Trader Joe's parking set up is small as well, and store is packed wall to wall. Especially at the holidays.

Lisa, love the red mittens and mug full of yummy goodness.

SED Phyl, thanks for RRP blog.... the Flyaway does look cold and dreary... A nice deep nest for the Decorah North family.  :-*

Kb, glad Chris is feeling well and able to help you with the snow. I was going to post earlier this morning after I posted Oma's b'day post. But then, cable line was interrupted again.
It happened twice last week, 6 hours of no wifi, cable and landline. It wasn't maintenance. It was only 4 hours today.

Baz, I noticed a while ago Oma isn't listed, either is Lilbro and I haven't heard from Neva. She hasn't returned emails since March. Funny weatherman, perfect warning! LOL!

Lisa, I didn't know Oma passed.  :'( We'll remember her on her birthday.

Tsk, Christmas wrapped cat. My boys would put up with that.

Hi Lori, beautiful birthday post for Oma :-*

Oldguy, Thanks for all you do. Your instructions to Tsk are helpful.  :)

Hi Karen, Tig

Good night!

Lani, our Trader Joe's has a small parking area as well! And you can hardly move inside, especially now!  There are certain stores that are packed during the Christmas season, Home Goods is another one. I love looking around in there but it's a mess! Is your internet still with Suddenlink? Wonder what the main problem is? And how is Mike doing?  Sweet good night kitty...

Phyl, thanks for Amy's Blog, good reading, the Norths are a sweet couple! Wonderful about the Bald eagle officially being named the National Bird!  I, like most, thought it already was!

oldguy, you are a Jack of All Trades! You know a lot about a lot of things!

Lori, very pretty female Cardinal! I think the females are beautiful and seeing a pair together is a treat!

Lisa, I wonder what the cost would be to replace your bridge... Off subject but I found an article that listed all the billionaires in the world as of 12/18. There were 2,773 total with Elon Musk at the top with 464 billion and Sam Bankman-Fried at the bottom with .08 billion (and in prison for 25 years because of it). I hoped there was a total of $$$ at the end but no.

tsk, yes, the cat wrapping video is a must every year! I just cannot imagine any of the cats I have had just sitting there like that one!!

LANI   Did you get everything checked off your list while Mike was away?  ;) ;)  Hope his trip went well.  Now for a holiday rest. :)

CLYNN   On the radio the other day I heard the list of the richest females in the world - Never heard of any of the ones they mentioned.

Julia Koch (and family) Net worth: $64.3 billion. Source of wealth: Koch Industries. ...

tsk, here is the Bloomberg list I was looking at, it tells what country they are from and what their income is from. If you add all the Walton's net worth together I think they would be right up there or maybe even higher than Elon Musk! You can sort this list a few ways, including women!   https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/#75b8bd953d78

Puff, glad to hear the youngest eaglet is giving it back!

Phyl, great pic of the Trempealeau Eagles nest, I love the sound of a train in the distance. When I am in bed at Mom's, I hear a train blowing its whistle in the wee hours of the morning. When Erin was in soccer when he was 6, the soccer field was right next to tracks, and when a train went by all the little kids would freeze on the field to watch the train go by. It was so cute! Two more pictures that are perfect for puzzles! Thanks! And that food tray looks delicious!

In 1954, the Brooks family of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, made headlines for a heartwarming and unusual reason. After thirteen daughters, the family welcomed their only son, Leslie Benjamin, into the world, bringing a mix of joy and surprise. The birth of a boy after so many daughters was a rare occurrence, capturing the curiosity and affection of their community. Newspapers across the country reported this story, not only because of the family’s unusual dynamic but also due to the endearing reactions of Leslie's thirteen sisters, each one eagerly embracing her new baby brother.

During the 1950s, large families were relatively common in the United States, yet thirteen girls in one household was remarkable. The Brooks family became emblematic of post-war America, where traditional family structures and values were celebrated, and the importance of family life was emphasized in media and popular culture. The family’s photograph, depicting Leslie surrounded by his adoring sisters, became a symbol of sibling bonds and familial love.
For Leslie, growing up with thirteen sisters likely meant a unique childhood filled with care and guidance. This distinctive sibling group probably shaped his life, teaching him resilience, cooperation, and a deep appreciation for family support. For his sisters, Leslie represented the cherished and long-awaited addition to their family, each one sharing a role in nurturing him.

Even today, this image from 1954 reminds us of the timeless themes of family, connection, and the joyful surprises life can bring. The Brooks family’s story continues to captivate history enthusiasts, symbolizing the warmth and values of an era gone by.

Clynn, Love the hanging Christmas snowglobes.... Mike has been in Louisiana all week and returning late today. He's going to stop at Costco's on the way home. It'll be crazy shopping the Friday before Christmas... Suddenlink was bought out by Optimum three years ago. We still have one fiber optic cable run by one company... we need another option when the line is cut.... I wonder how the Brooks Family are doing today. Can you imagine how many grandchildren and great grandchildren that's on that family tree.  :)

{{{Puff}}} glad to hear SWFL little guy is keeping older sib alert! Good for the young one, I wonder if it's a Little Gal!  ;D

Tsk, I'll be done today.... how is your Christmas list doing, almost done? :)

Phyl, Yummy breakfast tray!  ;D ... I didn't realize the Trempealeau Eagle's was near a train track. Reminds me of Iris and her view of the trains traveling by.

CLYNN  Interesting Bloomberg listing.  Some losing funds..  13 girls - Yikes

LANI   LOLOL   Just tried to find an update on the Brooks family - no luck.  Wish they had named the little boy something else. :-\  Still have on the docket: 
Tim's son et al, B&T and Uncle Jim for lunch tomorrow.   Barb has dinner for us on the 25th,   Barb hosts a brunch the 28th for Tim/Tom's sisters and cousins and families,  30th I bring lunch to nieces home and catch up on their lives ( the one with the Broadway bound dtr). Then I'm done  LOL  If Tim is off insulin before his bro leaves for the winter to Florida we'd like to take them out for their 50th which have not done yet.

Phyl - Love the pic of Mr N giving the nest his seal of approval.   The breakfast board looks yummy!  Very colorful greetings this morning.

oldguy - Ditto what Lani said, thank you for all you do. 

Lani - When baz mentioned she didn't see Oma listed, it rang a bell in my head.   ;D ;D your pup with the Redi-Whip!

clynn - From one of the recent studies and hearings this is what was said about the cost..... According to recent reports, replacing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge would likely cost between $7.3 billion and $8.4 billion depending on the design and number of lanes included in the new bridge structure; this estimate comes from Maryland transportation authorities considering a potential replacement project.

tsk - I had to look up the 1st and 3rd name on your list of female billionaires, the others I knew.  Cute Christmas greeting this morning.

The nest is in a pine tree about 300 feet from the RxR tracks that are just above the Mississippi River on the Wisconsin Side.

Tsk, The next few days will be filled with family dinners and church activities too.  You'll be thankful for a quiet January. Then you'll start spring cleaning!  ;D

BL, thanks, it's a nice location for the Trempealeau Eagles. I hope they stay away from the power lines.

Phyl, I looked through your info you posted about the Brooks Family. Why is it a sad story?

Hi Lisa, that is a lot of $$$$ for the bridge.

Lani, There is very little on the web about the Brooks Family. I found this little snip: The family, who lives in a remodeled school house, had prepared a pink layette for the baby's arrival. "Now that I have a boy, I hope it will be the end," said Mr. Brooks, a $50-a-week truck driver. And this article that doesn't really say much:  https://allchronology.com/2024/02/06/a-chorus-of-sisters-unpacking-the-brooks-family-photo-1954/ And the obituary of the father:  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/15971767/lloyd_milton-brooks  Love the kitty sleeping by the fireplace...

karen, so how was that orange? When Ed's sister lived in Scottsdale (or was it Mesa) she had an orange tree, it was blooming when I visited her. Heavenly!

old guy, I am on my 3rd PC since I got my first one in 2005, fits well into the average replacement time! Thanks for all the goodies, I will enjoy them after I get this post done! How busy have you been at work?

BL, I remember in the mid 70s, Blue Sunday in Missouri, when no liquor or certain other items could be sold on Sundays. There was crime scene like tape around the items you could not purchase. When I was very young I can remember going from Illinois over to Indiana to the Sears & Roebuck store, Grandpa took us every Saturday because there was no sales tax there!  I bet that sunset view was gorgeous!

Phyl, when my Aunt Linda got married in the later 50s they rented rooms in a house right next to railroad tracks. We loved it when a train went by, it shook the whole house!  Beautiful picture of the Trempealeau nest, with the snow!

Lisa, wow on the cost of a new bridge! They better start a savings account! Wonder if it's because the bridge is starting to deteriorate or because of the huge amount of traffic?

SWFL - Wskrsnwings - Two precious E’s!! ♥️🐣🐣♥️

Lani - Yes, lots of money for the bridge, and I can bet an increase in our tolls to cross it!

karen - You are lucky to have your lil orange tree in the backyard. Merry Pre Christmas!

oldguy - I think we are having your weather today.  It's cold and windy.  Thanks for the videos.  I am working my way thru them.  :D

kb - Hope you are less sore today.

BL - I don't have my own personal nest like the landowners in Trempealeau, but I do get  BE's flying over from Eastern Neck Wildlife Refuge while I am at the kitchen sink.  And, I do have a nice big sturdy pine in my backyard, that I wish a BE would settle in.

Phyl - Thanks for enjoying the oranges.  :D  You have got good use out of your 14 yr old Dell! 

tsk - I think when RRP did yearly maintenance at Tremp, they said the nest was in someone's yard.

clynn - One span of the bridge is 70 yrs old, and the other span is 50 yrs old.  The State did have a large surplus when the last Gov. left office, not sure now tho.  The bridge needs constant maintenance, and after the Key Bridge collapse, the same thing almost happened to the Bay Bridge by a ship that lost power.  So, all these studies that have done for the past 20 years were kicked into high gear then.

KB   How are the neighbors reacting to your sister's decorations?

OLDGUY    Guess if you have the room and several cats, that interactive "Christmas tree" is the answer  LOL   Yes, I've been noticing that about Bellamy.   :)

LANI   You remembered.  LOL  Yes I love January.  The hustle and bustle is over and I tackle those once a year jobs that are time consuming.  Takes me longer to do everything now but who cares..    Hope Mike got home safely yesterday and can now relax for a while.

LISA   Tim's cardiologist will not take him off his blood thinners.  He did mention however a new technique being used called "Watchman".  If he had this procedure done he would need no blood thinners.  We have an appt mid January with a cardiologist who's specialty is this type of procedure to talk about it.  Do not think Tim will go for it however.   This week now will start - just Ozempic and no insulin!  We shall see how it goes.  His 3x/day blood sugars have risen some over this past week just on 5 units of insulin so I'm a little worried.  We shall see.

CLYNN   Blues and silvers this AM  :D    Well at least you found Milton's obit.  It's a fascinating story.   This will be my 3rd PC as well.

https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-developed-a-questionnaire-to-identify-if-your-cat-is-a-psychopath

A relatively short article which is good, and the questionnaire embedded in the article itself. Cat owners?

tsk - her neighbors love it and often stop by and comment...I told her she needs to send me a new one every morning!..so far she has.

Yah, winter solstice for us means the days will start getting longer!...seconds and minutes added going forward. For me if I remember correctly it takes at least a month to notice it.

A warm up sorta starts today from low temps...snow will start to melt next week...will still have white at the end of that warm up though...

I'm feeling better this am. Still need to sweep the last 2 inches off lower deck today. After already removing 5.

I find those "removing snow" muscles sort of get strong about the time at the end of winter. Only to start over with a new group of muscles come spring time gardening/mowing...

tsk - Is that sweet Lulu in your morning pic?  I just read about the Watchman.  I hope Tim will think about it.  I have noticed an increase in blood sugar over the holidays.  It's all the Christmas cookies!  My endocrinologist says, she expects it to be a lil higher during the Christmas holidays. Hope all is good for Tim!

kb - I love the pretty Christmas lights on railing against the snow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BGGOLDEN!

I think we kept gifts to one another a secret and it's all wrapped up.  So tomorrow I'll put the paper, ribbons, bows and what not way. 
I sent gift cards to our families last week in their Christmas cards. Everyone lives near a Publix... ;)

some bounce

Hi all. Checking in late. We attended the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert this afternoon. My bro gave us a ride in our car... drop off/pick up. The drop off was easy, right at the front gate. Then, I spotted a wheel chair escort and he gave me a ride to our seats. He then offered to make sure someone met us after the concert. That gentleman picked me up and my bro texted which exit he was parked near. The escort knew exactly where and even transported me outside where my bro pulled right up! It was all so smooth... except for poor Camper having to walk at a quick pace for some distance.
The concert was great, as usual.
SED and looking forward to a good game tomorrow.
Love the posts today...
Happy Bday BGolden!

 Wow! 19F.  Thought our 25F this AM was cold.  Stay warm. Brrrr.

CLynn--once again...safe travels for  you, Ed and Kelsey on your way to your Mom's for Christmas.  :-*

Yes... it seemed to be a slight abbreviation of the "Lost Christmas" but that first part did last 1.5 hours. And the second half was an hour long. No intermission. That is fine while sitting through a movie in comfy chairs but... folding chairs, ugh. The good part is I had selected seats in the first row of the back section on the floor. We had plenty of leg room.  :)

Puff... another day of healing

Ollie man is being a naughty boy. Currently leaning up against me on the couch after playing the game of: "Nope I ain't putting on my coat even though I'm dying to walk today"...
So, I sat down and said okay we'll stay home then.

I'm dressed sans coat and hat and ready to go....He's been happy to put it on all this season till today ;D

We shall see how long this takes....I don't like a disobedient dog myself....he's usually obedient.
To him it's just a game, not really that he dislikes his coat.

Tapping my fingers now before I'm sure he'll change his mind ;) ;)

I'm sure LATER after we get this done.

How did they get all these dogs to sit still with Christmas head gear on?

Success!...our pace was slower with all kinds of street snow/ice/sand/salt and piles too high on boulevards for Ollie to climb.

Graupel greeted us on our almost home blocks!

I had a nice long post and it went away, so I will just say--Thank you all for the Birthday wishes and the goodies and all your wonderful postings all year.  I learn a lot from each of you and have some of the same issues to deal with--a Kitty, health problems, computer issues, and yard and household work.  I had a great Birthday--Son & Grandson came and brought a delicious cranberry coffee cake that my Daughter-in-law made, then we went to lunch at Texas Roadhouse. The salad and shrimp were delicious, and it was great to spend some time with them. Thanks again to all of you Beakers and Have A Wonderful Holiday. Bev

Pretty tree Tig and  wonderful evening last night!
Good news on the bridge but what is the insurance responsible for?   If you drive into something with your car, you pay!   Oh, well.
I’m just off the phone with the  girl  i met when I was 3 and a half!   We grew up across the street from each other.  Same age. Oh my..  also heard from a gal who lived a few houses down, she is 8 years younger!   Lynn and her husband stopped here on their way  on a vacation,  maybe 8 years ago.   She is my friend , same age!
Both older than dirt!  Lol!
Tsk, a weather warning fir Chicago flashed up on my computer a while ago., hope it did not cause a problem for you and Tim.   Did nit say what the issue was.

Lani, love your pops fron the religious order.  One is cuter than the ither.  Hope you are. Enjoying tge weekend.  How is Shannon doing?

Who does not like Snoopy?

Happy Birthday, BEGolden!  Hope ypu have an awesome  year !
Happy Caturday
Clynn, you kelsey and Ed have a safe trip!  Merry Christmas to your Mom!

Lisa, think I read the cost of the Key Bridge is  being met by insurance money!,  could be some need for additional funds, I guess!

Baz, Sadly the Valdosta team did not win today!
They were picked to win as in 4 previous years but an opposing player got 🤠  5 touch downs and that was that!   This was the coaches  last game! New kitty for your sister?
Offto dream land for Piper  and me after a
  quick trip outside!   Seds

Karen, I'm sorry Valdosta State didn't win - especially since it was their coach's last game! Missy the Kitty, watching the snow, belongs to my older Mtns Sis (who lives in a cabin in the TN mtns), not my younger Lil Sis (who lives in NC), who had Etta. My Mtns Sis has Missy and 2 other cats - none of them are "new." My Lil Sis hasn't had any cats since Etta's death this past summer. She has been traveling almost constantly, so I'm sure that has played into her not getting another kitty at this time.

Howdy Beakers!  :)

I'm too pooped to pop, and hungry, too! So I'm off to the kitchen and then to catch up on the evening news.

The Kennedy Center Honors are on CBS tonight (8:30 my Eastern time), for those interested, and streaming via other venues. I always enjoy the tributes to the 5 various artists honored each year. The honorees this year are: The Grateful Dead, Bonnie Raitt, Francis Ford Coppola, The Apollo Theatre Foundation, and Arturo Sandoval.

Well, I certainly lost track of when Clynn and Fam would be traveling to her Mom's. They went today?

Smooth travels, Clynn!  :)

Lani, LOL on your pup!!  ;D I read that the Pope wants the clergy to loosen up, so I think that poodle should help lead the way!  ;) :-*

Good Night, (((All))). Stay safe and warm. Peace. SED.

Tig--very colorful Christmas tree this year. Ditto Tsk, long concert  w/o an intermission.  Glad you still enjoyed it.

BGolden- hate when a long well planned post goes 'Poof' either  by one's own  or the PC 'gremlins'.
So happy you had a great celebration with your family and friends.

KB- "now...Ollie man !?'

Lisa--really liked the cookies and cocoa. You make the best kind !  ;D

Baz--LOL ' official  Christmas candy ' of our youth.. Yep, high fructose corn syrup, red, yellow, blue dyes.  In the desert southwest it stayed fairly separate with help of the air conditioner.  Haven't had that in ages...
All the best to The Kennedy Center Honorees to night.

Well...I think I'm up to date.  :-\

BGG, sorry about your long post. I've lost a few too  :(  Sounds like you had a lovely birthday with your son and grandson. And yummy Cranberry coffee cake!

Karen, sounds like you had a fun visit with friends....  I adore Snoopy, we have several 40 year old Charlie Brown ornaments & gang on our tree. Shannon is fine, thanks for asking.

As the new season of the Captiva Island Eagle Cam begins, we welcome back our favorite Bald Eagles, Connie (F) and Clive (M), who have bravely returned to their nest after facing the challenges of the recent Hurricane Helene. This live stream offers a window into their nesting activities, including egg-laying, hatching, and the growth of eaglets. The resilience of these majestic birds is a testament to their strength, especially after Hurricane Ian destroyed the nest and camera equipment. Join us to witness the incredible journey of Bald Eagles on Captiva Island, Florida, and support wildlife conservation efforts through this engaging live experience.

Hope this Monday afternoon finds all of you BEAKERS doing well.

We're almost done with our annual New England SUV sleigh ride delivering presents to all of our nice and naughty friends and family.   ;)

We didn't make it to ME or RI this year due to weather & time constraints.  :( 
Rest assured the PIPBL mobile will visit again.

We'll easily be in southern CT by sundown tonight 12/23/24 for our last stop at Pip's best friends house, another cranking fireplace, sucks to be us.   ;D

Miss Wieners thank you so much for hosting us once again.
Our llamas from her llama mamas .  ;D 
3 llamas own her & 3 llamas now own us.

Easy drive in the AM from CT back to our NJ home for X-Mas Eve.  8)

I love hanging my hat over and setting my boots under our own bed after such a gift of a walkabout.
Makes us sleep like baby's Pip and I.

~ Pip, Kopje and I crashed at my SIL's house in Berlin, VT last night. ~

She's got a cranking wood stove thank goodness as the actual temperature this AM was -14° F on the Taylor mercury thermometer.

That's a wee bit chilly even for here at this time of year.

Stay toasty my friends .. see you back at the hacienda.

Phyl - Thanks for enjoying my cuppa's.  Awww, look at Maggie, she looks like she is thinking....are all these for me?!?!

tsk - I bet the Church looks beautiful all decorated.  Did you have helpers?

karen - Sorry I didn't get to posting your link today.  I have been out all day, with Jeff and then dealership.

kb - Thanks for the tunes.

Puff - I think you are right about that transmitter on that eagle.  I remember RRP's being a lil bit more bulky looking.

Lori - Good to see you! 

BL - Sounds like you had a nice trip.

PHYL    Love Snoopy  ;D   Maggie looks so good.  365  Cool salmon spawning.  What a beautiful duet David and Big  :'( :'(
So interesting after 155 years Campbell drops "soup".  Sure glad they didn't change the color  :o :o :o    So much less of it on our shelves these days.  When we were kids we had a lot of "Bean and Bacon" as Mom liked that one  LOL

OLDGUY   Thanks for info on Kilauea.  Roaring its might head again.   

LANI   those 3 pups are hysterical  LOL

BAZI    LOLOL  "I'm here to delete your cookies".  Love the look on the dogs face  :)

LORI   Thanks for the info about Captiva being up and running again.  You hit the spot with all the seasonal cartoons  ;D

BL   So Pips friend is the source of your llamas - Cool.  Enjoy that fire like you always do.  ;) ;)  Lots of nice visiting with friends and family. ;)

KB   WOW  3 bobcats - right place right time.  :o

LISA   Love the Christmas mug  :D   Routine dealer shop visit??

We had a lot of helpers. Amen to that.  Pretty much 2 1/2 hours to be mostly done and can finish with final touches tomorrow AM when the Advent candle comes down after mass. 

I must report I was pleased with my efforts yesterday when for the second day I was without sound from my car radio.
Settled in and watch several youtube videos  - those didn't work.  Then came upon one that said " disconnect battery for 30 min" as a last resort.
Well I wasn't strong enough to loosen the bolts so waited til Tim came home.  It worked!!!  No trip to the dealer necessary - However should it happen again - it will be a trip to the dealer  LOL

Lisa- another nice  cuppa cocoa and just look at that latte handiwork !  Jeff may need to build some new kitty B&B's. Dealership...hope 'the putt-putt' is doing well.

Baz- LOL ' ...here from Tech Support to delete  your cookies'. Too funny.

OG--Meant to thank you for news on Kilauea
Lani--how'd the v isit to eye doc go today? Your poochies this AM  ;D

Tsk-- ditto Lisa, Did you get help today? Hope so. No doubt the sanctuary is looking lovely and spiritual.

KB-enjoyed the tunes today;  awesome 3 BOBs just moseying along their trail. Just love the snapshots of them.  We  have bobcats too, usually a Mom Bobcat and her kittens in the
over grown overflow ditch in the spring can hear her muffled growl keeping them hidden and in tow.

Puff- tks  on the transmitter comparison. I saw the difference  right off...

Lori-- so nice to see  you here. So enjoy  your digital handiwork. LOL the Pixies in the crock pot taking a marshmallow 'bubble  bath' .
Tks for Captiva   update...hatching in progress... Pip party too.   Hope all are well.

BL--by the reading...sounds like you both enjoyed your travels. Be safe.

CLynn--let us know y'all arrived safely

Tsk--glad your decorating went well;  less Campbell's on the shelves--Yes.  I  sometimes use certain of their soups as a sauce/gravy.

Hello Beakers

The live stream in Hawaii ended at 8 hours, but Charles at Doing Hawaii runs live 24/7    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyo4lrOIVF0
But it appears that this eruption may already be over - no visible hot lava as of now...

A busy week ahead - having a soup supper X-mass eve and full meal X-mass day on top of working Tue and Thur.  Making chili for tomorrow - got it started this afternoon.  Then slow cooking a ham that I need to start just before the soup supper.

I think the transmitter looks like the cell phone style that was used by the Davenport group - they were tracked the first year traveling within 60 miles of each side of the Mississippi River south to lower Illinois.

Another segment of Music 101

It may take more than a day for some of busy Beakers to watch it all, but I found it very good entertainment... ;)

I went down the proverbial rabbit hole last night.  Several years ago I had watch some videos of a family in Canada with 6 young kids performing a Christmas special.  It was Celtic music with all of the kids playing violins and dancing.  The parents were Natalie McMaster and Donnell Leahy.
This is a sample clip from 7 years ago...
"A Celtic Family Christmas" with the MacMaster Leahy Family   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR4aqHmSemg

Now, 7 years later the kids are 6 to 19 - 7 kids in total with 6 performing fully in the shows.  The 6th was born with Downs, but still does as best she can...
Natalie McMaster Donnell leahy family Christmas   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0FlUHceHgk

This is where I dove head first in to the hole...
Both parents are from top level Celtic music families...
Donnell from the rural Irish community of Lakefield Ont. raised in music and farming.  8 out of 11 siblings compose the music group Leahy - award winning around the world in Celtic music.
Natalie McMaster grew up in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia and the rich Celtic heritage found on that Island.

Both groups brought the children along on tour as they arrived, so was exposed to the stage and music from day 1.  The Leahy Band has expanded it's musical influence over the years.  Their main attraction is still the Celtic sound, but it has morphed.  They include many aspects of classical, jazz, rock, country and religious music into their music.  Most of their music is original and every member has been credited with more than 1 song.  A year ago, Leahy Band released a 7 video series on how they function as a family group.  See their channel for these videos...   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA4vDB3vxQbEq3Y_pKDNiFg

This is the Leahy Band Christmas 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUsn_E5gAQM

As with Natalie and Donnell's children getting older - the Leahy Band as a whole have children getting older - best as I could determine the Leahy Band has 18 children performing on stage for Christmas.  But the Natilie/Donnell children now have their own group...

Phyl, cute pics of Maggie, she is a beautiful cat... thanks for nature video.... silly thing to remove the word Soup from Campbell's label, just because they're adding sauces and pasta. I've been using their cream soups as sauces for years.

Baz, it would be great if it was our Diva, but I thought her backpack wasn't as flat. This one looked like an iPhone.

Lori, awww Congrats Captiva family, great pics and video.... Fun Christmas posts!

BL, Merry Christmas to you, Pip and Kopje!

{{{Lisa and Jeff}}} you're both St. Francis's angels.... eye appt went went well, just getting changes in my left eye.. cataracts.  ::)

tsk - Glad to hear that you had alot of helpers with the Church decorations.  Good job on the getting radio to work again!  I had tires rotated and oil changed, but of course they said I needed a fuel induction cleaning, but had that in May 2023, so told them I will wait till next oil change to get that done.  They say you need one every every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, and its only been 25,000 miles since the last one.

Phyl - Thanks for the 365, and the Origins of 6 Classic Christmas Songs.  We bought an additional kitty B&B not too long ago.  It is a two cat one, so we have two out back now, plus the shed.  Here is a pic of one of them in the single cat house.

Tsk-- do a search " The Origins of 6 Classic Christmas Songs' and" How a poem transformed Christmas into the festive holiday it is today' .. I can understand the Nat Geo link not working as it takes a subscription to Nat'l Geo magazine or digital magazine. That's why I posted the History.com linke which should work.  History.com is the web site for the History cable channel.

Lisa--I've seen those 'houses' for outdoor kitties. Even considered getting one as  a few months a go I had a stray that hung around a few days and
moved on...  Some of those even have a built in heater and flap doors.

Lori--many thanks for Captiva Eagle Cam and snap of the Little one this morning...  Welcome to the world!  The kitty mischief collage...Life's
just better with cats.  ;D

kb - Hope you got your walk in with Ollie.

tsk - TNR  is the (trap, neuter, release) program. 

Puff - LOL, aww bunnies and squirrels are cute too!

tig - You fruit salad sounds yummy. 

Lani - Love your Santa 

Phyl - The cathouses are insulated, and also have a flap door, but we tacked them up.  They would not go in them with the flap hanging down.

Lisa--I don't know of a cat around that likes 'flaps'.  The outdoor house I was going to buy for the strays was insulated...only way
I could have afforded one,  period.

Happy Day, Beakers!  :)

Dreary out, thanks to a coastal low hanging over my coastline... drippy, with off-and-on steady rain, and off-and-on low visibility - supposed to get to 48 degrees today... not sure it made it - has mostly been in the low-to-mid 40s though and a north wind. Brrr on cold rain. But we really need the rain here, badly, so I will be thankful for getting some. I have a headache today that feels like an ice cream freeze headache. I didn't have any ice cream, or even anything cold to eat or drink. I hope it goes away soon - what a bother.  ::) :P  Tomorrow I expect a sunny day with a high in the low 50s, so that will be nice for the kids and their new outdoor toys. And nice for Zippo and me, too!  ;D

Zippo and I enjoyed an omelet this morning, late, and I had extra coffee with half-and-half - mmm! A treat! I needed the half-n-half for the crab bisque I'm making. I was going to make it Christmas Day, to have with my steak, but considering the "soup weather" I'm getting today, I've decided I'm going to make it today. Tomorrow I'll have the filet mignon and asparagus... and more crab bisque - which will probably be better then... seems like so many soups and stews and such are better the next day anyway.

Lori, I saw a kitty in one of your posts who is going to be getting lumps of coal in his stocking! LOL! Yay for the new little arrival in the nest at Captiva!!  :-* :-*  Good video snip - he got the helmet off his head, so now he only needs to get his little wiggle-butt out of the bottom half of his shell. LOL!

BL, you and Pip sure made the rounds, and now you are back to home and hearth!

TSK, glad you got lots of help decorating the church - I know it all looks beautiful! Do you mean you disconnected your main car battery from it's terminals for 30 minutes to fix your car radio problem? Or were you talking about some other battery in your car? Glad it worked!

Lani, I will not get to watch the Chiefs game live tomorrow since I don't have Netflix, but I can watch it replay tomorrow night on the NFL cable TV channel ( I think at either 8:00 or 8:30 PM, my Eastern time). Go Chiefs!  :D

Lisa, you and Jeff have done so much to help the neighborhood strays - can you organize them into a band? The Stray Cats?  8) tee hee... sorry... getting silly here... That's a great picture of that nice and warm home for that kitty.  :-*  Glad you didn't let the car dealer milk you for the extra service - the nerve of them, and right before Christmas!  :P

KB, enjoy your "doings" today, and your rest tomorrow!

Oldguy, I have some familiarity with Leahy's Celtic music, but not all the other related info. Thanks. Mmm, lots of yummy food coming out of your kitchen!!

Tig, I love cherries in fruit salad! Yum!

Karen, I hope you and Piper are toasty warm inside. Did you pick the rest of your Satsumas? I saw it might get to freezing in your neck of the woods - was that last night maybe? I hope it didn't get quite that cold there and that your plants made it through!

Puff, I didn't notice that detail about the size of the backpack on that Eagle. Oh well, I will still pretend that it might be The Diva. I wish!!  :-*

Phyl, did Maggie decide to open any of those presents under your pretty Christmas tree early?  ;) :D

Clynn, I hope you didn't have to travel through much bad weather, and the drive to your Mom's went smoothly. Have a fun visit!  :)


Waving to All the Beakers!! Enjoy your day!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All!  Peace. SED.  :)

The Davenport Alcoa nest was using transmitters during the same time as Decorah - but they used the version that used cell phone communication instead of satellites.  This worked out for them, because all of their eagles stayed south of Lake Superior and many did not go north of the nest - south only.  So cell phone service was sufficient for data.

Merry Christmas to us :D :D

My garbage disposal is leaking from the bottom...done all the usual: tighten with allen wrench etc.. It's just old with probably old seals. And, of course as typical around this house: things always happen on weekends and holidays.

I can use the bathroom sink: connected and the right sink of kitchen if not too much water....

Hopefully my plumber, Jack, will be back at work on Thursday...I doubt it somehow...if he can come this week I'll also have him add a new faucet same sink.

Blaah....I'm dealing with it okay it's just been an hour or so trouble shooting and wiping up leaking water under sink from when I was washing dishes/using disposal.

Merry Christmas all ::) ::) :P :P :) :)

oldguy - Recipe for the ham in slow cooker, please?
[

Not much of a recipe - I use Amana Bone-In half Ham and cook in a small roaster-oven at 200 degrees for 12-15 hours - 1 cup of water in bottom and cook covered, making sure that the water does not boil.  It is done when you can pull the bone out.  I cut it with an electric carving knife about 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick slabs.
I have tried using rubs/sauces/ etc and the natural favor is better than any thing that I have added.  Nutrition info states that it has 880mg of sodium for a 3 oz serving - which is about average for the several brands that are available here.  This is a cooked ham product and needs to be refrigerated as opposed to the dry cured hams popular in the SE US.

Our local Hy-Vee grocery carries this brand for the holidays  - this season it was selling at 3.99/lb.

Here is the Amana Smokehouse web site...

Christmas Morning

Edwin Waugh

Come all you weary wanderers beneath the wintry sky.
This day forget your worldly cares and lay your sorrows by.
Awake and sing! The church bells ring! For this is Christmas morning.

We’ll tie the fresh green holly wreath, and make the yule log glow.
And gather gaily underneath the winking mistletoe.
All blithe and bright, by glad fire-light for this is Christmas morning.

To all poor souls we spread the feast with kindly heart and free
One Father loves us, and at least, today we’ll brothers be
Away with pride, this holy tide for it is Christmas morning.

So now God bless us one and all, with hearts and hearthstones warm
And may He prosper great and small and keep us out of harm
And teach us still to show good will this merry Christmas morning.








 
 Good Morning  and Merry Christmas Beakers !

AEF NEFL EAGLES ⭐GABBY RETURNED LATE LAST NIGHT WITH INJURY ⭐PRAYERS FOR HER AND BEAU!https://youtu.be/hzXK9E5ueDs?feature=shared
Statement from AEF (American Eagle Foundation) : Good morning. At this time, we would like to address what we believe is the situation at the NEFL nest. There have been sightings over the last few days, of 1 or 2 other eagles close to the nest territory. We believe that there is indeed a possibility that Gabrielle has been engaging with at least one of them, maybe a female. We cannot confirm what exactly is happening but now, after seeing a possible injury/blood near Gabrielle’s right eye & frontal area above the cere, this could be from a territorial confrontation with this rogue eagle.
Please know that if any further information comes forward, we will be posting it. We understand everyone’s concern. You are not alone. Thank you. From the NEFL Team.

A friend of ours from Colorado sent us a pic of his Bluey playing in snow.
This dogs name is Doofus.   :)   ;D

Kopje and Doofus have not yet had the pleasure of frolicking together, but we're working on fixing that this year.

LOL, what a name!...hope in the future they have an opportunity to meet, oh and of course take pics if they do meet.

BTW we seriously looked at getting one when we were ready after our Walter passed. After doing much research we rightfully decided not to based on their energy needs...
Ollie man has been enough! ;) ;)

kb Yes Australian Cattle Dogs are definitely NOT "low energy" poochies.
Kopje is 5 years old now so that has taken some of the 'edge' off of him _ but not by much.  ;)

They don't like to just hang out around the house unless of course there is something cooking in the house like today.  LOL

Kopje is almost always outside in a large fenced in area (with shelter) in all sorts of not fit for man or beast type weather conditions hanging out with his other critter buddies doing up tiring critter stuff .. well tiring for them  ;) .. not him.   ::)

We can usually get him to come inside the house at dusk for his dinner _ unless the llamas are uneasy for some reason _ his bestie critter buds _ then he will absolutely refuse to come in until Pip or I recon the entire area and assure him all is well.  :)   

3 times now since he has had us there was a slight anomaly with the fencing that we easily rectified _ Kopje look it's all good now _ thoroughly inspected by he _ okay inside for chow time now. GOOD BOY. GOOD BOY. 
 
~Side~
Did you and you and Chris have a white X-Mas there ?

_ According to the NWS officially defined as 1" of snow or more on the ground at 7 am on 12/25 _

NYC Central park just made it this am with 1" on the ground, last time was 2019 - 15 years ago.

We've got about 2-3" of snow on the ground here in North NJ so I guess we "qualified".   8)

Now wait .. Karen after taking a double take of Piper's attire in her gorgeous X-Mas photo.   8) 

I assumed Piper was a McDonald's eating male dog.  My bad, I'm so not up on these type of things.
I'll get caught up on the 21st century eventually.  LOL. 

Quote from: Google

Interestingly, the name Piper is unisex, making it a versatile choice for both male and female pets.
It's a name that conveys grace and agility, often embodying the light-hearted spirit that many pet owners seek for their companions.

Miss Piper you rock it you GA girl.   :-*

BL - love your story of Kopje and your critters....yes, we do not imho have the land for a cattle dog..
What were we thinking?....LOL

We do have snow on my ground anyway and more than 1 inch. We got 6-7 inches a few days ago that has to some degree collapsed and melted somewhat.
I still have pretty huge piles of snow at the end of my driveway: driveway shoveled snow etc.

We have rain in the forecast Thursday night into all day Friday...will be interesting to see how my gutters do with that and my piles...we shall see as they say.

I can't complain though as we have had somewhat of a snow drought so far to date. But, much colder temps than average as well.

Luckily my now 9 1/2 year old Ollie can be a comfortable couch potato on days that are too cold to go outside. I'm guessing this happened for him around 8-9 yrs old. He always had very high energy till then.

Remembering my big dog Walter who lived to be 16 1/2, he too was high energy until about 10 or so, esp after both back knees needed ACL repair.

To me that's always a mature and nice marker in age (9-10), but also signals that the end could be anytime. :(

Happy boxing day I hope there aren’t too many returns but then you never know I’m all confused about the days as I said, Tuesday was Saturday and Wednesday with Sunday and so today should be Monday but it’s Thursday. Oh well I at least don’t have to go to work, so the confusion won’t last too long for me to devastated
It sounds like everyone had a great Christmas and that everyone is ready to celebrate the new year when it rolls around next week
Piper stress is back in the closet and she’s wearing a Christmas collar, red and green points with bells on the end. She is not too happy about wearing anything but tolerate things pretty well.
Dr. Hall visited last night and went home with two of the three oranges she got off of my tree. She ate one at the house and said it tasted like candy and ignore the fact that piper was drooling and pointing at one as she ate it but she didn’t give her a single section poor Piper. She did get some cookies and other treats from Dr. Hall so she is not being too abused.
Lani I agree there are dogs around the world suffering from Abuse and neglect Piper is a shelter dog in my previous dogs. At least five of them were rescues. I try to donate to shelters with Bonnie and old towels and things that I know they need.
And the temperatures today are about 61,62° and will be in the 70s for the next 4 to 5 days at which time I cool down will start and be low for about a week and then climb back up again it’s like a seesaw up and down up and down. not complaining however, as we have only had one and will maybe have another one or two days where the temperature dipped to 32° I still have one bloom on an inpatient plant that is actually looking very sad, but has survived the lower temperatures so far one day I will get out and take the basket down and dump them, and then be ready to start over again in the spring .I have some paperwhite narcissus blooming in the  kitchen And a pot  of Them on the porch. 
I have not checked today, but I do hope that Gabby is improving.
Nice  day yesterday, Lisa!   
Good sloth report Lani.
Have a nice afternoon.

Clynn, I hope it's a fun time there at your Mom's! Smooth travels home - whenever that is.  :)

Karen, love the pic of Piper all dressed up!  Thanks, my headache isn't that bad, thankfully, but still hanging on in the background - not too much of a bother. No, not visiting/not visited. I kept thinking it was Sunday yesterday, too! ;) You and Piper had a nice visit from Dr. Hall! Even though Piper didn't score any of her satsuma!!  ;) :D :D :-*

KB, cute pic of Chris with patient Ollie, who must be thinking, "Bacon, bacon, BACON!".   ;D

Tig, family visit - you survived.  ;)

Lisa, mmm on the spiral ham - I haven't had one since Christmas 1996, while spending Christmas in a cabin near a ski resort, with my sisters and their kids - 28 years ago! LOL, but I can still taste it in my mind.  :D

Oldguy, yum on ham with the bone falling out!

BL, yum on your feast with the kissers in the straw - hope the "kissing llamas" were with!  :D :-*

Puff, I had forgotten about the cellphone trackers.

Lori, thanks for the update, and Merry Christmas to you and Destini and your family, too!  :)

Lani, I love seeing the Sloth TV, pics, and news. Waylon!  :-* I saw you posted about Sloth TV being part of Explore now! I watched the Chiefs' game at 8:30 last night, my time, on my cable tv's NFLNetwork channel. Yay! Go Chiefs!! I avoided all sports news during the day so I could watch it without already knowing the outcome. I also got to watche the Baltimore/Houston game replay on that same channel last night, after the Chiefs' game, including the whoop-de-doo halftime show by Beyonce! It rivaled any Super Bowl halftime show - a major production, and not a short one! That game was also only "Live" on Netflix during Christmas Day afternoon. Needless to say, I was up very late, even though I didn't stay up to watch the end of that game! LOL.

TSK, you went to the grocery store this morning? Lordy, I hope I don't need to go to the grocery store for a while... food is almost spilling out of my kitchen! LOL. Oh, yeah, and my scales have a sad story to tell me right now because of it! Yikes!  :o ::) Glad you and Tim could enjoy Christmas dinner with Barb and Tom!  :)

Phyl, I was just joking about Maggie opening the presents.  ;) Great pics of her under the tree!  :-* I miss getting "The New Yorker." I framed several of their wonderful covers over the years.

SSRL, good to see you - Happy Christmas!  :)

Paulie, hi! Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Holidays back at you!!  :)



I'm o-f-t to get some of that yummy food spilling out of my kitchen...  8)

Wild Side column: Remembering Bob Anderson and Tim Mason, who were among leaders in the outdoors

Orlan Love - correspondent

The late Bob Anderson, executive director of the Raptor Resource Project, operates a remote video camera positioned over an eagle nest near the Decorah Fish Hatchery in 2011. (Jim Slosiarek/The Gazette)
I have been blessed to know many great conservationists and to call some of them my friends.

My favorites include the late Bob Anderson, the godfather of the Decorah eagles and the guy who put peregrine falcons back on their ancestral homes on the Mississippi bluffs; and the late Tim Mason, the environmental activist who made the National Park Service live up to its mission to protect the sacred Native American grounds at Effigy Mounds.

Both Bob, who died in 2015 at age 64, and Tim, who died in 2018 at age 67, were underdogs who sacrificed to achieve environmental triumphs with never a thought of their own aggrandizement.

Anderson, the founder and director of the Raptor Resource Project, helped save peregrine falcons from extinction, led the successful effort to reintroduce them to their historic eyries on the bluffs of the Mississippi River and then educated and warmed the hearts of multitudes with an internet nest camera that documented the lives of a bald eagle family.

The Decorah eagles were a metaphor for their godfather. As they persevered through egg-chilling blizzards, infestations of pathogenic black flies and tree-felling, nest destroying wind storms, Anderson overcame financial hardship and skeptics who doubted his innovative techniques could succeed.

In the wake of the pesticide DDT's devastating effect on raptors, Anderson quit a good-paying job to move to Decorah in 1996 to devote his life to the well-being of falcons and other raptors. He exhausted his life savings to fund his falcon recovery efforts.

When live falcons were extremely rare, Anderson used artificial insemination to breed captive females at his acreage near Decorah. His chicks, released at nest boxes attached to bridges and power plant smokestacks, had by 2018 produced more than 1,500 progeny — a decisive factor in the birds' removal from the endangered species list.

But those birds would not nest on the Mississippi River bluffs until Anderson devised a technique in which the chicks were released from simulated rock boxes atop a bluff at Effigy Mounds National Monument, imprinting in the chicks’ brains the concept of cliffs as nesting sites.

Friends and associates of the man responsible for the wildly popular Decorah eagles webcam said Anderson likely will be remembered more for his leading role in the peregrine falcon recovery and his successful effort against long odds to restore peregrine falcons to the bluffs of the Mississippi.

Anderson himself considered his role in restoring falcons to the Mississippi River cliffs his greatest accomplishment.

Tim Mason of McGregor stands near a creek Dec. 22 that was recently littered by a farmer leasing the Department of Natural Resources' land. Mason noticed the land was being mistreated and the farmer was in violation of several regulations on the three-year lease. This prompted Mason to take action. The DNR is now taking a closer look at lessees who may be mistreating the land they are renting. (Nikole Hanna/The Gazette)
The late Tim Mason of McGregor stands near a creek in 2011 where a farmer leasing the Department of Natural Resources land was in violation of several regulations. (The Gazette)
Mason of McGregor, a big, tough river rat with a spiritual affinity for the bluffs and backwaters of the Mississippi, bucked big government and big money in his mission to preserve the region’s natural grandeur.

He made his bones in the early 1980s with his effort to save Bloody Run Creek from the ravages of rerouting U.S. Highway 18 around Marquette and McGregor. Though the project eventually went through, it did so with concessions to limit damage to the creek, its valley, wetlands and endangered species.

River and bluff lovers also appreciate Mason for his successful effort to halt the costly and contentious River Bluff Resorts project, a $138 million planned complex west of McGregor in the valley of Sny Magill trout stream.

Mason’s masterpiece — the righting of an egregious wrong at Effigy Mounds — grew out of his lengthy earlier service as a seasonal worker at the national monument, where he learned its features, internalized its mission and cemented his reverence for the land and the mound builders.

Mason said he could not believe his eyes when he began to notice trails, boardwalks and buildings encroaching upon the mounds. Through Freedom of Information Act document requests, he found the facility had spent more than $3 million over a decade to build more than 78 illegal structures.

Mason sought the assistance of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, an advocacy group representing government workers, and together they pressured the Parks Service to acknowledge its mistakes and adopt corrective measures.

My most emotional moment as a reporter occurred at Mason’s funeral when six uniformed National Park Service employees filed into St. Mary Catholic Church in McGregor to pay their respects to the man who exposed the agency's desecration of Native American graves it was commissioned to protect.

In hindsight, I wish I’d started a slow clap like you see in the movies when colleagues recognize the hero’s deeds. I’m sure everyone in the church would have soon been clapping, too.

Lol, Tsk, you beat me=to thanking  Lori For the article on Bob Anderson, he was such a special person as was the other gentleman featured at the end.  In your fridge stuffed French toast sounds interesting and if you have time I’d like to see the recipe I could not eat the venison but I hope you enjoy
Lisa, my favorite leftovers are also Thanksgiving unless it is prime rib dinner for Christmas. I know a few folks who have that but I would not cook one for one person and was unable to get the steaks. I wanted this year anyway enjoy your ham and I’m glad that your father-in-law and his grandson were able to visit with you yesterday.
Baz, you left me hanging with your football discussion and a lack of information about the Baltimore ravens game. I will have to look that up as soon as I get off of here I think it’s terrible. That’s football teams but games on Netflix, which is so expensive during the Christmas holidays I’m sure the teams made extra money but I don’t think it is nice for kids and parents. Who have   already spent money getting ready to celebrate you have to pay extra or wait until later in the night to watch the games on TV anyway that’s just my opinion Humble, as it is!  Tsk, I believe Clynn  And family are traveling to Springfield tomorrow to visit with Ed’s family and they will then leave Springfield and head home Sunday.

Oldguy, enjoyed your Christmas links, especially Emilie and Dad. She's growing up into a beautiful young talented lady. Love her drawing. ... loved Santi, Indy and Chewy enjoying their giant cat tree... You had a busy day after Christmas. Thanks for links.

Lisa, We had a nice quiet Christmas. I made Mike's favorite turkey dinner with the trimmings. Lots of leftovers for days. Thank you for posting Miss Piper's pic.  :-*

Kb, Love the DNR Christmas card.

Lori, praying all is well for the Hamlet nest. Gabrielle is on the nest right now. I guess there are lots of questions about another female eagle in the area. I feel like we're going back to when Juliet was frightened away from her eggs too.. Thank you for posting the wonderful tribute to Bob Anderson.

BL, Doofus is a beautiful dog. Love the name.  ;D ... Thanks for sharing your story of Kopje, he's active like you and Pip. Always on the go... I haven't heard Up on Cripple Creek in years. Takes me back.... I listened to Boths Sides now of Joni in 1969 and today.... youth, hope, dreams vs reality.... she understands now the illusions, fairy dreams, she's lived Both Sides now... we all have.

{{{Clynn, Ed, Kelsey}}} beautiful Christmas posts. I know you're having a great time with your mom.

Karen, All these years I thought the American Eagle was our national bird. Well, God Bless it''s Finally Official!!  :-* .... awww Piper is in her Christmas collar. I try to do what I can here in AZ for pups and cats. Dr Hall is a wonderful friend too.... We're having a dry season here, it's cold tonight, but I do wish we could get some moisture. It's been well over a month. I have paperwhites bulbs getting ready to bloom too... I agree about NFL streaming the Christmas games on Netflix, we don't have it and it's the same with KU Basketball having their games on ESPN+ we don't have that either... Thanks for letting us know about Clynn's return home.... love Snoopy  :-*

Tig Glad you were able to get your Rosie TLC time for Christmas.

Hi Paulie, ssrl, good to see you both.  :)

Phyl, Beautiful Tawny Owl.

Tsk, I hope you and Tim had a lovely Christmas with family. And Tim is doing well... yummy stuffed french toast, venison stir fry with squash casserole. All sounds delicious!

Lisa, I love the Dogs 4 Rescue, along with many others. If I won the Lottery, I think I would try to save as many dogs, cats, elephants, critters, as I could.  :-\ ... so glad Jeff's dad & grandkid came to have dinner with you and Jeff.  ;D

{{{Baz}}} Sorry your headache is still hanging around..... Did you notice Beyonce's 12 year old daughter Blue Ivy joined her. She looks taller than her mom. Here's a fun video for you! How bout those CHIEFS!!!  ;D https://x.com/i/status/1872040712902266938     Feel better tomorrow.

Good night!

TGIF!  Foggy and going to  70 this afternoon.
 Been the weekend all week!  Lol.
Phyl I do not know about Eds Mom.  I said his family.  Maybe sister.
Lani, i love turkey, etc  for  Christmas too!   Too much food tho.  My other favorite is Prime Rib roast.Also like squash cassarole.
Think my dish washer is broken and it is fairly new!  Hate these new appliances!   The older ones worked much better!
Have a good day!

Lori - Thanks again for the piece on Bob & Tim. It was a good read. 

tsk - Mmm, the meals you are making sound delish!  Pretty morning greeting.

Phyl - Yes, that cocoa was over the top  ;D  Thanks for the 365. 

karen - I have a rib roast in the freezer, that we bought on sale.  The last time I cooked one, I did it in the crock pot.  It came out OK, but this time I want to do it in the oven.  Amen to the Snoopy!  Oh no, sorry about your dishwasher!

oldguy - I went to grocery store day after Christmas....out was the Christmas candy, and in was Valentine's candy.  They wasted no time.  ;D

Lani - I would do the same as you, if I won the Lotto!  Love the good night pic.

Puff, tig, kb and all - Morning  :)

I baked a small ham for Christmas Day, green bean casserole and potatoes au gratin, salad.
Razzelberry pie...   ;D  Redi Whipp to top.
Would be wonderful winning Tenn Lottery...what I wouldn't do for humanity and wildlife and pets   ;)


Karen--tks I mis-read  about Clynn/Ed visiting his family,that's for sure. I hope they have a nice time.
And, sure hope you get your dishwasher issues worked out.  Gosh I hated dishwashing by hand---those yucky pans. 
As a teenager that was my assigned task  the evening's  dinner dishes . Plus a few other chores on weekends.

Lisa--that's really fancy donut with a  cuppa latte  to match.   Rib roast sounds yummy.  Not surprised about   switching out  on holiday candy..
I had just been thinking wouldn't be long before the next celebration (Valentine's Day)..then Easter, May Day, etc..

Ranger Sharyn Broni - Kia ora koutou (hello everyone)

The Royalcam nest. To have both parents fitted with Geo tags is wonderful. Now, they will be able to track parents. Hopefully, this will help solve the positioning of lost adult mates during their seasons.

After (mom GLG) arrived back at Signal Station Trig nest for her turn at incubating the egg on the 26th of December it was decided to GPS tag her while she is fresh on the nest. Geo Positioning Tags are very light weight and are cable tied to the strong back feathers between the wings. They will fall off after around a year when these feathers are moulted. We will receive the data via satellite so do not need to retrieve the device to see the information that it has gathered of the bird’s whereabouts. We hope to gain foraging location insights from the data.  The egg was placed in the incubator prior to tagging and returned once she was settled on a dummy egg on the nest. Dummy eggs are kept warm in the incubator until use, so it is near the bird’s body temperature when placed in the nest. Toroa are very accepting of eggs that are fake or not their own making dummy eggs great tools for conservation management.

In the meantime, (dad) RLK/KA85 is around 500km from Pukekura, and nearing Rēkohu/Chatham Islands.

Great posts ALL...

I'm sorting, cleaning, prepping... for Bro n S.I.L. tonight. Snacks, Tom and Jerrys, cookies.

HAGD

p.s. we've never had a garbage disposal nor a dishwasher. Always a container for food scraps by the sink. And I now line anything that goes in the oven with non-stick foil. For the saute pans I soak them in water and/or use Dawn Power wash dish soap spray.

PHYL   Thanks for all the season's highlights.

KAREN   OH NO  What is the symptom of it not working?  Did you check "troubleshooting" area of manual?

LISA   Beautiful cuppa and "wreath donut"  :D   No kidding on the Valentines candy  :o

LANI   Thanks for the albie update.  They have quite a system going. Attach tracking and egg switch all at the same time.

TIG  I grew up that way as well.  Dad got so tired of fixing the garbage disposal that he took it out.  We hardly ever use ours here.  There is so much you cannot put down it's not worth it to keep track.

Rain all day here, yet my sis in Rogers nada...this stripe from Iowa that doesn't quit.

We threw out the small dishwasher that came with the house as it kept burning the racks. No problem here doing dishes by hand.

My disposal lasted almost 20 years....don't mind replacing it here for about 100 bucks esp if it lasts another 20 years..

Nothing newsy happening at hatchery area, NN, SWFL, Trem, so mostly just open as screen saver at the hatchery.  Not positive if it's HD or HM, but it is persistent.  He, I think, has been by the cliff trees since 8 this morning.  Is he a he, or her.  What's the decision - a  regular or a shopper? 

All day, truth be told, slow day.  Did I nap off and just miss something?

Tsk, dishes came out dirty and pods laying on the bottom of washer.  Did some on line  Troubleshooting and decided the problem is with the filter.  I never knew there were filters in the dishwasher or that they had to be checked and washed every month.  I think I know where the filter is located, but I was unable to move it in order to take  it out and the help wasn’t able to do anything either ! she wash the dishes I dried some.

when the towel got wet I put the rest of the plates in the dishwasher and  will let them sit there until they’re dry , washing is not going to be a problem as I will have
 no big dinners between now and Tuesday when the repair person is supposed to show up at  noon!  Who knew there was a filter in there!   I obviously did nit read the instructions.   The dryer vent is s rewedup as well?  Bubba who is to fix that has not said when he is coming,  there is water in the pipe and there are tree routs in there!  Vent is under the house and is bot straight!
Phyl. Nice dinner!
Lani, good Royal     Albie report!   Thanks for posting!

Lani - Thanks for the Royal update.

Tig - No dishwasher or garbage disposal here either.  There are days I wish I had a dishwasher. 😂

Tsk - The wreath donuts looked too pretty to eat. 

Kb - You got good use out of that disposal. 

Puff - I have been watching the Hatchery most of the day.  I am pretty sure that was HM we have been seeing on cams. 

Karen - Hope Bubba come out soon, and the dishwasher repair guy too.

I've been washing dishes since I was 5 years old like the Maytag man.

I've eaten some exquisite vittles in my day.

4 things one experiences universally on our planet is oxygen music food and water.

The gravity is a given if not a total bummer.

I couldn't speak the language but I as sure as guest could wash a pot and dance and groove on the indigenous music.

Pip and I have this kitchen sink 60/40 2 tub from the 50's.   

It's 8 feet of bull nose cast iron and vintage porcelain perfectly laid flat as the day it was cast.

That's 2 ft of just so sloped porcelain drain board laying to the left and right north to south looking out of the east facing kitchen sink window.

      8)  I just want to really hug and heap some serious love on the folks that made this sink   8)

EDIT #1

Our very dear master plumber friend Mr. Mike found this sink in 2019 in CT.

It has 6 holes he said. Fill them all with some cool Kohler shit we said at he time. Crank it down & bring it back home on the trailer.

He used them all with supremely finely crafted plumbing parts from below in 2023.
 
Both of U and I will and the next guy will be gone before it ever leaks he said boldly. 

I looked under the 'hood' and just admired the craftsmanship of the melding of modern fixtures to this kitchen sink.

EDIT #2   

12 people Mr Mike and his wife included just feasted off the dinner table ware.

2 peeps 15 - 20  minutes dish clean by hand your grandmother would eat off.

The Tom and Jerrys were made with Grand Marnier tonight. Extra yummy they were.

Good conversation and company. Bro and I reminiscing about regifting the same bottle of Old Spice to Dad for about 6 yrs. Wrap, give, return to the shelf in closet. Repeat. Lol. He never had occasion to use it. He could not understand why Mom, Bro and I were doubled in laughter every Christmas.

I use mine maybe once a month, it's old and I say a prayer when I turn it on.... I don't know if mine has a filter  ??? .... Yes, I agree, today's appliances do not last long! I hope Bubba comes to help soon.

Lisa, your morning Christmas roll looks like a krispy kreme! YUM!!

KAREN   That is so funny!!!  Now the filtered water.  Do you have the kind that is attached to your faucet?  We just use the Brita variety.  Mom hung clothes on the line til she died!  Yes two items under 1 clothes pin. Put the whites in the sun so they get bleached!

TIG  What a great story about the Old Spice   ;D ;D ;D ;D  Sounds like a fun time with that yummy adult beverage.  ;) ;)

BL   That is some sink!

LANI     Actually turkey in itself is the easiest meal to prepare and certainly the most economical as you can get so many meals from it.

Good Morning and Happy Caturday!
Tsk, I agree with you about turkey dinners being easy and economical!    I used to cook one in the summer without all the sides.  Great with potatoe salad, sandwiches, etc!   Just read about Paulis dinner of roast pork and sauerkraut and I am going to get a can of Bavarian sauerkraut and dig an oversized pork chop out of the freezer for New Years Day!  Thanks Pauli , if you are browsing in tge beak!
Ohyl, I like Marie Callandar pies.  Think Mrs. smiths are better but she doesn’t have the Razzleberry, I do not think!    There was a pie company in Michigan, many years ago that made the best pies, ever!  Better than home made or at least as  good.  The pies were very full of fruit, which I think were local as the pies were almost available in seasonal.   One of the best of these large pies was Rhubarb!  Absolutely to die for.   Cannot remember the name  of  company but they were the best!
Tsk, I use Brita  filters on a pitcher , not on the sink but it is not working!  Lol.  Will keep working in it but in the mean time I have tge bottled kind for my 64 ounces a day!
I had forgotten about the whites in the sun for the bleaching, but you are correct
Almost 70 now. Going to 77!    A day fot bermudas and a tee!  Humidity ishig and tge fig as nit burnedoff as yet!   Z4 or 5 days of the z70’s and tgen some highs in the 50’s then, upagain!
Have a good day!

After around 24 hours of rain, now gone, no snow in my back yard....only thing left is my piles at the end of my driveway. I just tried breaking them up to melt better and give me more room into the driveway, and not much luck. Too icy.

Dense fog this early morning is giving away to cloudy only so heading out sans coat for Ollie as it's stil high 30's. No cleats either....Should be enjoyable other than no sun around here for a very long long time.

Happy Saturday all.

karen - Oh no, not the filtered water pitcher too!

BrokenLug - That is some kitchen sink.

tig - LOL, on the re-gifting. 

Lani - That donut was making me hungry.  Walmart did not have any fancy wreath decorated ones, but I did get some choco frosted colored spinkled ones.   :D

Phyl - I have never had the Razzelberry one, will have to try that as Jeff likes different berries.

KB    Awesome black leopard.  One patient photographer is Mr Burrard-Lucas :o

LANI   Maru and Hana are a real kick  ;D

LISA   What a sweet kitty  ;D ;D

Just back from B&T's hosting the family on Tim's side - sisters/cousin. Pot luck and mimosas and cookies.  Kim his cousin who is handy at everything!! -  smelled gas when she was helping put things away in the basement when everyone left.  She thought it was the water heater.  Neither Barb or I could smell it.  Sure enough Nicor came out and 3 leaks around the water heater - two fixed and valve to fireplace shut off to be dealt with when they return from Florida.  YIKES - a close one.

Post by: baziunc on December 28, 2024, 05:13:00 PM

TSK, YIKES! That's scary!! So glad she smelled it and it got checked and fixed! So, did they not have a CO detector? Or it wasn't working? My gosh, that is too scary!!

Lani, I want some of Mike's turkey!!

Phyl, I think some brands of pies are better than the others, but I don't remember thinking of any of them as too sweet, just that some of them have more filling than fruit - and the ones with more whole fruit in them are my fav, and maybe they are less sweet.

Karen, I used to use a Brita filter pitcher - for years. I gave up on them finally - too glitchy and the filters don't last long enough. Is yours the pitcher, or the dispenser? What is it doing that you say it isn't working? Is the water not filtering through at all, or too slowly, or what?
Try this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkdMnpsyUs0

Waving to All the Beakers!  :)

I took an ibuprofen, and my cane, and walked for 47 minutes today, though I need to subtract 5 minutes from that because I stopped for 5 minutes to talk to a neighbor and her dog on the sidewalk. Nice day!! It was an unusually warm 72 degrees and humid - not sure what the high actually got to - that might have been the high, not sure. Like Karen, I will have 70-ish temps for the next 3 more days, with rain and possible severe storms tomorrow - from the same system that spawned tornadoes in TX, and moved/will move through MS, LA, and FL and GA tonight and in the morning - though I'm sure Karen's temps will be warmer than mine.

Everyone in the path of the severe storms, please stay safe and alert, especially overnight tonight, with a way to wake you in case of tornado. Prayers for those in the path of the storms.

Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Lani-- ' The Thinker'   ;D

Lisa-- MC's Razzleberry, tart and sweet.  I've made turkey burgers, but seasoned differently  ...I'm sure someone's made a turkey meatloaf...

KB-- tks... starry night black leopard still have the 'rosettes' of the yellow (regular) leopard...just have to look closer   :o   LOL    or use a telephoto lens

Karen-- we use PUR on the water faucet for Maggie...the side by side has a water filter built in to it's water dispenser

Baz--premedicate is a good idea; those temps of yours and Karen's Springtime...we have another 5 mos . give/take   before we get there .  :)  Although  this 'ol desert gal will take the heavy rains and T storms over snow.  Marie Callendar fruit pies are whole fruit. LOL.

Baz, not quite!  Just a pitcher with a black top/insert filter section! Holds what  I am supposed to drink in a day!  I have had it about a year and the filter just gave out!   Supposedly you. Fill the pitcher after the  new filter is inserted and empty it.  You do this 🤡🤡3 timesto get it going! 😹 did not work.  A green light is supposed to app the ear if allis good!  No green light. 😮‍💨so. Filter in the water pitcher, hooefully, nothing more than the filyer in tthe dishwasher and the  iggie, the vent for the dryer!

The heat will ot lastlong.  Seems to be 5 days up and 5 days down!   I cannot believe two oftge impatients in my hangin basket are still blooming amongst a mushy mess!  Believe me,  this is not something fir House and Gardens Magazine!  I just cannot throw these brave souls away!

Tsk, YIKES! Thank you Kim! All is safe and well now, when they leave again for Florida. For safety, We should probably have ours checked too.

Lisa, I have a triple berry recipe that you could make with ready made pie crust if you like. It's so easy with blueberry, blackberry and raspberries.

{{{Baz and Zippo}}} so glad the weather was nice so that you were able to get out for a bit.... I hope the storms stay away or it isn't severe, take care.

Phyl, thanks for Decorah North Memory lane blog.... cute socks from Miss Maggie!  ;D

Kb, stunning Appaloosa, perfect name for this beauty... Take care

Karen, I'd keep the impatient basket too, just remove the mushy ones. I hope the weather doesn't turn serious for you too.

Good night!

My gosh, that is too scary!!

Just a heads up to all Beakers: A standard carbon monoxide detector does NOT detect natural gas !

Unless you have a dedicated natural gas detector in your home about the only way you become aware of a natural gas leak is by your nose via the added to natural gas by law rotten egg smell.

Heavy rain and a tornado watch this morning with a high of 72 forecasted.  Cooler weather would  prevent some tornados!   Our watch ends at about three this afternoon. Lisa, last night I watch the weather forecast and a storm coming. It look like out of the golfer Louisiana area north and west. They were tornadoes all over Mississippi, or at least forecast for such and some for Washington county Alabama, but both Mobile and Baldwin counties were out of the area that was good.  There were also a lot of straight line winds in the area as well interesting videos from an ABC channel
Tsk, I meant to mention the gas scare last night and forgot, but thank heavens for Kim and her sense of smell. That is a scary thing about gas, even though I think it is the greatest thing in the world for cooking and fireplaces thank heavens they got that fixed for the time being.
Phyl, your kitty slippers socks from Maggie are delightful and look like they will keep your tootsies  warm all winter how nice of her to find them for you. She must’ve been busy online while you were sleeping or she got Jim to do her shopping.

Baz, ism sure there is a video some place on the pitcher but I have tried all the suggestions so far and none of them work!   -will turn this over to the help!  To be honest, I am tired of filters and computer  operated appliances!  Be happy to just have knobs to turn!

smelled gas when she was helping put things away in the basement when everyone left. 
She thought it was the water heater.  Neither Barb or I could smell it.  Sure enough Nicor came out and 3 leaks around the water heater - two fixed and valve to fireplace shut off to be dealt with when they return from Florida.  YIKES - a close one.

TSK, YIKES! That's scary!! So glad she smelled it and it got checked and fixed!

So, did they not have a CO detector? Or it wasn't working?

My gosh, that is too scary!!

Just a heads up to all Beakers: A standard carbon monoxide detector does NOT detect natural gas !

Unless you have a dedicated natural gas detector in your home about the only way you become aware of a natural gas leak is by your nose via the added to natural gas by law rotten egg smell.
 

BL, thanks for that reminder to the Beakers.  :) I know that, however, I did not read TSK's post closely enough to see that it was natural gas, and not CO (carbon monoxide), that was the problem. I just immediately latched on to the "gas leak" idea and my brain immediately stopped working.  ::) ::)  I am very sensitive to the issue of carbon monoxide-related deaths due to people not having working CO detectors placed where, if, needed. Though that was clearly not related to the issue TSK posted about! Even so, just reading that Kim "smelled it" should've alerted my brain to that fact, since CO is odorless. Thank goodness for the added "rotten egg" smell added to natural gas to help natural gas leaks get detected. And thank goodness Kim smelled it!!

Phyl, I was only adding my own fruit pie experience and taste likes... and was not suggesting anything whatsoever about Marie Calendar's pies or how sweet they might be. I don't think I've ever eaten a Marie Calendar pie. Thanks for letting me know that brand uses whole fruit. LOL! My very warm temps I mentioned having during my walk yesterday is not at all normal this time of year here. My normal high temps this time of year would be in the 50s. This is a very temporary above average temp here for a few days, as much of the country has also experienced recently.



Okey dokey, Beakers. That about does it for me for now.

Oh law... LOL!

Take care, Beakers.  :-* Stay safe and warm, or not hot, whatever the case may be for anyone who may read this.  8)


Good night, Beakers. Peace. SED.

Early assessment by Juan Brown of the South Korean air crash:
https://youtu.be/BzmptA6s-1g (https://youtu.be/BzmptA6s-1g)

Interestingly, a bird strike in the right engine is "suspected", but unknown is why they came in without landing gear down, flaps down, and spoilers....geesh.

The bird strike would NOT have affected the hydraulics of the above.

We arrived back home last night, Vicky and Erin took good care of the cats, they are fine and back to normal! Good weather, no snow. Mom and Aunt Linda and cousins are doing well. Ed's family in Springfield are well, except for his sister Gina, she is having some issues. Ed has 6 gallons of Prairie Farms chocolate milk...

BL, that sounds a bit scary!

baz, we are having above average temps too! I like Marie Calender's individual chicken pot pies, but had to banish them. 610 calories 36 grams of fat!  :o :o Love the saying about the mosquito!

tsk, "right shoulder puzzle-itis", now that's a new one!  The puzzle is beautiful! Missing one piece! Take a pic and send it to them, maybe they would send you that piece!

Lisa, love that Jeff provides a Hotel for Wayward Cats...

Phyl, Mom loves the Razzleberry pie, seems like there is always one in her freezer!  Along with Prairie Farms vanilla ice cream...wonderful!

CLYNN   Wonderful news that it was a safe and healthy Christmas overall.  Kitties glad to see you??  6 gallons of milk should last a week or so  LOLOL   I'll give that a try on sending them notice of a missing piece.  Have nothing to lose.  I've torn the room apart figuring I dropped it unnoticed.  I'm sure we will hear lots about the planets and what sky to look in on the 25th.

KAREN    Is the commercial name "bio freeze" ?  We have about every lotion and cream they sell - Even some CBD ointment.  Of course it is all topical so not to expect much long term.  :(         ;D ;DCute Lucy!

Off to bring lunch/presents to my niece et al.  This is the one with the "Broadway bound dtr"  Haven't seen them since summer!!!  Very busy family.

Lani, those little sloths in the video were really moving fast! Sweet sleeping puppy...

tsk, sandwiches, chips and fruit, a good lunch! And all are well, I presume! Hope Barb and Tom had a nice anniversary, now you have one day left this year to relax?

Lisa, love your morning coffee! I am going to see how long the 6 gallons of chocolate milk lasts, it will really be only 5. He gives at least one gallon to Erin. Is the KittyKat Motel all booked up?

oldguy, love the missing dog story, and thanks for all the links! Volcanoes never die...

Phyl, love the picture of the Norths, they are both so beautiful and the nest looks good! So what was going Nutz at your house yesterday? I created a puzzle of your picture of houses yesterday, it was a good one!

History Daily ·  In 1932, a daring feat was captured on film: two intrepid workers perched precariously atop the 61st floor of the Chrysler Building, tending to its iconic eagle ornament. Suspended high above the bustling streets of New York City, they undertook the perilous task of maintaining this symbol of the Art Deco era. The majestic eagle, with its wings outstretched, was more than just a decorative element. It was a testament to the building's grandeur and the city's ambition. Its placement at the pinnacle of the skyscraper made it a breathtaking sight for all who looked up. Yet, its lofty position also presented unique challenges for its caretakers.

Started the day by learning two new things - Minn fans don't like SF as much as they "dislike" Det.

Been there done that - Been in NY many times, even inside Chrysler Bldg, but never knew there were multiple eagles on varied points.  Interesting pic of 1930's NYC groundscape.  You could actually see the grounds/roads of Manhattan.

That big puppy   ???  really was smart.  Knew his way around town and had he eye on that funny little switch on the door panel.  A real smartie. 

Mornin' all.  Another ugly day today/tonight.  Gray, rainy, windy, dropping about 20 degrees tomorow.  Cold settles in next week, highs in the teens?

Enjoy the day's celebrations - Happy, happy, happy new year.

Currently: 54F cloudy , High  54F mostly,  with  Low 38F

In a few hours we will be 'kissing' 2024 'GoodBye". And welcoming 2025  with all his promises.

Yesterday went a foul and nothing turned out right.  But in the end I made it to an afternoon appointment. And, after dinner  all seems
right.
Oh and like you, Lani, I agree,  the cam shots of Mr & Mrs North did accentuate their feathers . And those mischievous sloth critters I do like them
better when they're kidding around with each other.

OG I'll check out the links in a bit. And, Lisa, I  like those warm cozies for mugs. And, Tsk, wishing  'B & T" a happy anniversary.

Hi Puff.

CLynn--yesterday AM greeting would make an excellent puzzle


   Prayers for:  Victims of natural  and Man-made disasters plus those who rescue them. The Fallen / Our Allies in Defense of our country. And   #47.   Police and First Responders.   'Little Gray' and 'Little One' and  all abandoned, abused , lost cats , stray, unloved, homeless  and feral cats.
The Bluebirds of Cane Ridge, Tennessee,  Sauces bald eagle cam nest, Hummingbirds, Bumble Bees  and Honey bees everywhere . As always, Beakers, Cheerios and RRP / families.

Puff... Bears, Lions, Packers all in our division... so are all natural rivals, but especially the Pack. But if we win over the Lions next Sunday, we get a bye week and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

A few tasks completed, including writing bdays, etc. on next year's wall calendar that hangs in the computer room, so Camper can easily see... if he remembers to look. Lol

Tsk and Tim.  Happy New Years Eve to you 2 also.

We aren't going anywhere near the ball drop on this type of drookit evening.
Hanging in the "manger" with some fuzzy creatures and some pickers.
 
Some acoustic and harmonica hay bail thumping has begone.

Ty said U gotta check this out.

Stepped outside the barn beams with the safe glow inside.

Into 40° F sideways rain with the hillsides rumbling of thunder and flashing lightning with my very dear friend wit our kit on.

You could already tell all of the critters for a mile around inside and outside where ready to groove. Mother Nature set the beat.

We smoked ourselves a J and took a pull of JD off of a Tyrone's hip flask.

We both pondered having grown up around here for more than a few decades.

When is the last time you heard thunder like that on New Years Eve ?

~ About a month ago bro is all he said as we rejoined the beams the pickers and the now dancing fuzzy creatures.  :)

We haven't smiled that hard in a long time rock n roll it into 2025.  8)

Tsk--'more puzzles...'  LOL I aim to please.

{{{Puff}}}

Lisa--y'all may have to add some extra accommodations to the Kitty B & B

Lani--nice hot tea this AM

Karen/ Piper--good news on the two filter issues;  Luv the Peanuts
Tks for SWFL ...Oh little ones. It certainly is a big world out in the blue skies.  :-*



Jim's snoozing in his Lazy Boy downstairs. He's not staying  up for ball drop or anything. He's been up since 4am for work and said it was
a really busy day and all. So my old fella is really tuckered out. I won't wake him for awhile and the he'll turn in.  I'll be up for a while as usual.

Clynn, pretty morning pics.... Thanks for the History Daily. 61st floors back in 1932, brave men.

{{{Puff}}} :-*

Phyl, I hope you had a better day... beautiful morning posts would make great puzzles.... Thanks for RRP blog, Eagle with one foot. I pray it is still thriving. Reminds me of Berry Mom eagle and Lucy at Eagles4kids cam. Both females had one damaged talon. I loved watching them.  :'(

Tsk, please send rain our way.  ;D .. LOL Tim took care of his doggie bag when you weren't looking.  ;D Happy New Year!

Hi Lisa  :-*

Tig, I was taking care of our 2025 calendar too. Mike never looks.  ;D

BL, thanks for the weather update. I wish we were getting some of that moisture.. geez it's been weeks and no clouds in sight... Sounds like you and Pip are enjoying the last few moments of 2024 and starting new memories into 2025.

Phyl, Mike has been sleeping since 8pm... long work day too, and my car battery died. Car is in the garage and we'll have to get someone here on Thursday... sigh... we just fixed Mike's car two weeks ago for a few $$$$.00..

{{{Karen and Piper}}} It has been a good year, good to have you back with us...  Happy New Year to Piper! And to SWFL babies :-*.
