Good morning Thanks phyl I tried several years ago with rat issues outside!! It took 6 months and for me to get the animal control and  councalman involved before they did anything so just trying to deal wth it myself at first The first night the trap went off but nothing caughtI found it drinking the water out of coppers bowl so now I have to keep it emprty at night poor copper. I threw a roe of paper towels and a raw hide bone hit but it survived.   It is cute but it needs stay outside!!!!!!

Hi  :)

We're still at cabin. Hubby is asleep and I'm spending time at laptop now that internet is running smoothly.

LB, No way to a mouse issue. I remember a couple years ago the long time you battled rats around your place and complex and you got animal control and councilman involved. Good for you! Mouse drinking water out of Coppers water bowl is a no no for sure. I hope this issue gets resolved for you soon.

Phyl, Yes hubby and I have had fun. It's just the two of us and tomorrow is 5th day. It's been very relaxing and we've both accomplished a lot. Him outside with shed and me inside. I have finally unpacked all boxes .. arranged things and put things where I want them .. have some boxes with misc items to go into wall storage areas. I think next time here I'll actually not have work to do!!

Why do you ask I'm having fun for your sake? Is everything okay at your end?

jicaji, Your cheesecake sounds delicious. I didn't know you could freeze it either.  Yum!!

Okay about septic. We were told a while back a sand mound would not work because our soil at cabin is nothing but clay and rocks.
Contractor said it's the worse soil he's ever seen and he's been in business for many years. Geesh! So much for planting things.
Plenty of trees and lots of ferns growing everywhere otherwise.
We had an EgoFlo system put in. The hole was huge and the tank you could drive a car in.
Long story short we now have had water for 2 days and I've enjoyed hot water with Dawn washing things and actually washing face and brushing teeth inside not outside. And hot shower. Lol Life is good at the cabin.

We've had some nasty storms here on the mountain. A tree on our property down a ways near the road fell over and across road that goes by a way down the hill. Someone chain sawed it to remove from road that connects towns around here. Then last evening while sitting on front porch hearing approaching storm the lightening, thunder and high winds kicked in and we heard a tree across the road snap and fall. Those storms were no joke. All's good now though.

This afternoon while we were sitting quietly on front porch a buck came walking along .. stopped to browse on tree leaves. He saw us but slowly continued to walk past while keeping an eye on us sitting there. Was cool to see.

We're planning to leave tomorrow earlier than usual because once home I have lots of laundry to do and catching up at home.

Sorry this is long.
Wishing you SED

Good Morning ...Happy Sunday !


Our  Current temp is  69 F  feels like 70F.  Today...a high of  93F  partly sunny, humid at 98% and  high pollen count.
 Our nighttime low 69F  with clear skies   
 
     

Paulie-no big deal. We've been hard hit with this 'new economy' and short of $$$ to do 'thing's is all.  All the best with the septic tank and all.

Good morning   sounds like the perfect week/weekend Pauli  I am in the office next week but I took off thursday and friday  with no doctor appointments!!!! We only had rain yhester late afternoon the storms missed us even though we were in a warning.  I am going to put in a service ticket about the mice for thursday wehn I am home.  I want to see what they will be doing plus copper   I have 2 mice traps out in closets but no luck now. I hink I need to put them under the couches un refrigerator thats where I seehim go to when hiding The traps I have should be easy to use put they arent staying oen and a few broke when I tried to set them and they should be reusuable so I am afraid to move the ones in closet to pu under couches  I do have poison I want to put out in closet but not sure it's safe without he nit station but I really dont think those stations work plus what if they go to coppers water bowl when I am at work  UPDATE; I walked copper today and took hi mfor the longest walk in over a year, the one I used to doalmost 3000 step ooo I feel good but my knees do not agree

Hi LB, Yes a very pleasant week and weekend.

Okay to you're in office today thru Wednesday. How's it going with the new work you were trained in? Has your using the new different screens gotten easier?
Enjoy having off Thursday and Friday with no Dr appointments!!

Good the storms missed you.
I agree with you to not using poison in case mice go near Copper's water. What a pain in the butt you're having with them.
I bet your neighbor(s) have them.

Wow awesome about the longest walk in a while you and Copper took. Good that you felt good afterwards except your knee but that's probably to be expected with the knees. The great thing is you took that long walk! Nice!!

I'm dragging. Cleaned and vaccuumed before leaving cabin .. then 2 to 2 1/2 hour ride home .. when we got here late afternoon I immediately got to doing sheets and towels from cabin .. our laundry. Then watered all potted plants and other things out front, out back and on deck. Umm yep I'm tired today. lol

LB how's the new work going?  Good idea to skip pesticides for Copper's sake. Hope the LL will get the mice prob eliminated soon. Nice  having a short work week

Paulie a lot to do upon your return. But, you made it.

LB, Sounds like you scared the heck out of that mouse! LOL  You stuffing fitted sheet into pillowcase sure takes the folding frustration away!! I bet your PT place will miss you too. Sounds like nice efficient people and place.

Quote #1  I've done that lots of times!! lol

Hi jicaji and Phyl

Awesome cooler temps continue here with sunshine.

The Ring cam at cabin had lots of motion alerts last evening and night. A buck again that had walked pretty close to front porch when my husband I were sitting last weekend. The racoon family with the cutest bunch of little ones scurrying around front and back. And a fox that sniffs around. Haven't seen the black bear for a while. Good!

The front porch Hummingbird feeders were like Grand Central Station last weekend. Was cool watching multiple at feeders and hanging baskets. Only saw that on Utube videos before.

Wishing all a pleasant day. Take care.

Howdy!

I always sloppily fold fitted sheets and extra effort the flat and pillow cases.  ???

Congrats on PT reprieve LB.  That mouse will know next time before 'messing' with you.

Paulie Ring Cam good idea on yuour 'getaway' when not there. Great news on the hummer feeder. Lots of traffic is good.

Of course he showed up again I got him with brrom but I am afrid to go to hard not sure why he needs to go one way or another  He scuried under the refrigerator r wa sin the stove, well e hides underneath those 2 places so that where the traps need to go  along under couches. so how do I know if captured wif under stove or refrigerator?   Im not moving them I am not sure i can.

I graduated PT!!! I rang the bell they took pictures of me ringing bell plus a group shot. But the 2 guys tht worked with me the most werent there One was off the other not sure where he went, OH well. I go back 9/6 to start knees

I am off Thursday and friday  I think I am going to go see my father. I hink tomorrow Its suppose to be yuchy Friday. So far no mice tonight I havent checked the traps yet though  will in  the am. I am no expecting anything and if here is I don want to deal with it so late.  UPDATE: Mouse showed up.  Not sure where he came from but he was by the bck kack door,  Copper was right there and did nthing or did ot see him LOL   The mouse went under h ecouch
