Good Morning Beakers!

      

Lani, we have a jump starter too, I didn't realize it could charge a cell phone as well! Ours is an EverStart Maxx, very affordable, well worth the $50 at Walmart!  Another  sweet picture of sleeping pups!  Here's one of a sleeping Sam...


tig, those old war games sell very well in my eBay store! Risk, Stratego, Axis & Allies and several Milton Bradley American Heritage war games from the 60's. I think some people enjoy the camaraderie of something to do with others, no electronics involved...

BL, Kopje, what a good boy!

Phyl, oh those stairs!  For skinny people that use the stairs a lot! On one of the home shows they built a slide down one side, for the kids. I think on the Fixer to Fabulous show. From things you have said before, I get the feeling that Jim's co-workers really like him and watch out for him. A good thing!

tsk, chuckling that Tim found the Haggen Daz you thought you hid! He knows where to search, that's for sure. There is only one place to hide ice cream! Maybe you could re-pack it in something else, maybe wrap it up and write LIVER on the package??  LOLOL!

baz, sounds like you had a good New Years Day, glad you got the second wind! Sounds like you had a good cay! Forgetful Folks Support Group, I forgot when the meeting was, and where!

MOUNT KAILASH - LOCATED IN HIMALAYAS IN TIBET... AWESOME VIEWS...!!!

Sonnet 97: How like a winter hath my absence been

By William Shakespeare
How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
What old December's bareness everywhere!
And yet this time remov'd was summer's time,
The teeming autumn, big with rich increase,
Bearing the wanton burthen of the prime,
Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease:
Yet this abundant issue seem'd to me
But hope of orphans and unfather'd fruit;
For summer and his pleasures wait on thee,
And thou away, the very birds are mute;
Or if they sing, 'tis with so dull a cheer
That leaves look pale, dreading the winter's near.

 Good Morning Beakers ...and TGIF...      
 
                       

Currently: 40F cloudy , High  40F mostly sunny,  with  Low 25F



Lani--I tried to do a 'visual' search on the stairs as you comment Winchester Mystery House sounds plausible. But, nothing comes up. i have toured the Winchester Mystery house in California--there are spooks.

KB--double sinks are great.

CLynn--I luv the way cats sleep; I remember that opening scene of MTM show;  wouldn't want to climb Mt.  Kailash even if I could.

BL, Kopje's a 'good boy' !



   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.

In the 20s for the next 5 days or so.  Will miss the next snow . 

OLDGUY  Lulu is the first fetching cat we've ever had.

PHYL  Don't get the purpose of the stairway.     Loved your AM pics     Those chickadee feathers are so beautiful

BL  You have a better than good dog there. 

CLYNN  Think Mom will get the storm that is missing us.  Am sure you have stocked her frig.   Sam the funny sleeper    Sure do remember that MTM scene.

LANI   Thanks for the info on the battery charger.  New to me.

[Phyl]

Tsk--  my guess --purpose of stairway is so two people can go in opposite directions if needed. 

10 yrs ago we had Mike, a cat who would fetch
a tossed squeaky Tweety Bird  just like a dog  and  bring it back, drop it at your feet and wait for it to be tossed again, and again and again.
Little Maggie would watch in puzzlement .


Lani-- tks for info on battery charger ditto Tsk, new to me as well; doggy cuddle puddle, cute

Very interesting mystery on the MISS -- what is the mystery object floating along through the icy covering on the river?  My guess is an escapee buoy?  Check out GSB cam

[Puff]

My latest report - First, a cam operator came on duty about 20 minutes after hour.  Zoomed out and  gave a different perspective.  I think it was the ice floes moving that made it look like buoy was moving.  Breaks in the ice trail was absolutely straight. When cam went panned out, wide pic made it become clearer.  Buoy or whatever it is must be hooked on something.  Harder to see since panned out, smaller image.

Anyway - excitement overload - no hooked, huge fish pulling it through the water.

Had no idea we had this many eagle's nest in Chicagoland!!!

http://digitaledition.chicagotribune.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=62116d96-4f74-4fc0-b14b-84f622002540

PHYL  It just looks like a regular staircase with alternate stepping as you would on a regular staircase.  A person who could only go one step at a time would be out of luck  LOL  Just the therapist in me...

PUFF   Couldn't find anything unusual at this moment.

[camperstig]

I've seen those steps on tiny house TV show? It is for one person to walk up naturally, as if using a stair step machine.
Was posting at the same time TSK. You described it better.
Anyway... TGIF

Good Morning Beakers....TGIF!!!


kb - Glad to hear that you got your disposal and faucet fixed.  Aww, much love for the BBC crew!

baz - Wow, 37 yrs old....hope Zippo enjoys her sweet potato.     Everything sounds good that you made and are going to make food wise.  Love homemade veggie soup!

tsk - Wow, sounds like alot to do for a missing puzzle piece.  Very cool about all the eagle nests in your area.

oldguy - Thanks for the video.  Oh wow, that is craxy about the 4 top seeds losing.

Phyl - That is crazy looking the two lane stairs    Thanks for the 365, and the sonnet. 

karen - How is your help's dad? 

Lani - Oh, that looks like a nice charger.  I googled it.    I need to get one for when I go to Decorah.

clynn - ROFL, at your comment to tsk about writing liver on the package. Love the pic of MTM throwing up her hat.  Awww, Sam...so sweet!

BrokenLug - I am waiting for you to tell me if the Maryland weather people are correct for the Eastern Shore.  Are we really getting 3 to 5 inches on Monday?

Puff - The buoy was cool looking, and sure could break thru the ice.

tig - Sounds likes fun board games that Camper plays.

TGIF 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, Paulie, jicaji, LB, and All!

Lisa, the charger was $82 at Autozone in Payson. It was the only place open on New Years Day, we needed one asap..... Home Depot, Walmart had a couple, it was a bit more expensive. You can get them between $40 and up online too, but make sure it's will work for your car make. Living in Payson, we had to get my car started. Towing cost $180 one way. At least one place, Firestone was able to get the battery replaced same day service. The other three car service repair shops were backed up to two to three weeks. We stopped paying for AAA last year, we had used their service for 30+ years. When they didn't answer Mike's call for help three times last year. He was stuck an hour from home on H188 at 6:30pm. Mike called a tow company in Sunflower that charged him $180 to tow him home. They called the next day to see if he needed help, drove to our home and towed the car to a service repair shop and charged $80. AAA never called back. AAA did the same thing to Aly when her car battery died outside of Las Vegas and she was on the way home to Oregon. Mike wrote a letter to AAA and Better Business Bureau. He has written to BBB about the washers and dryers we seem to be going through these last 13 years. LOL! Okay, looks like I've written a letter to you. 

Clynn, sweet pic of Sam... Beautiful gathering of Tibetan monks, stunning view.... Love that pic of MTM! .. a wrapped ice cream container with Liver written on the outside would stop me from touching it too....   looks like a heavy storm is coming your mom's way. Take care.

Tsk, thanks for the eagle article. I agree with you about wonky stairs. It would be like climbing a hill or mountain, R foot then Left, R, L, and so on. Great for the leg muscles. 

Phyl, "love the Shenanigan Squirrel" LOL! .. I believe the Winchester mansion is haunted, never seen it in person, but I believe it! ... the wonky house with the funny stairs, seems to have slanted floors. door ways, even wall paper is off. It plays tricks with your eyes. LOL! Even the other stairs look wonky. "Fun House."  ... love the cabin on a snowy mountain top... sweet Chickadee.

Puff, thanks for keeping us updated.

[LisaG1967]

Lani -  a letter.  Wow, I don't even know what to say, but I'm sorry that has happened with AAA!

from karen - https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02fUef7ZvLbiDwvHZkQSLcQHdmmfuTHMPkZrT6XVULy98CB5G13P3URVgnVrwpDX4dl&id=100044914332440

HAPPY DAY, BEAKERS! 

YAY for CROW!!! Thanks, Karen, and Lisa!! 

Thanks for All the Beakers' wishes for Zippo to have a happy birthday!    She is! 

Yes, she is 37 years old now. She hatched in 1988, and wears a closed leg band with that info, though I don't know her hatch date. She was 12 years old when she came to me in Jan., 2000 - 25 years ago today... 12 years + 25 years = 37 years.    Not new math.    She had 2 different owners over her first 12 years of life. She came to live with me 25 years ago, on Jan. 3rd, 2000. That's why we usually celebrate her birdday - today! Yay! 

She's had lots of bird treats today. But her birthday sweet potato is coming out of the oven now! She's going to love it!! 

My re-heated veggie soup and cornbread is ready for me, too, so Zip and I are heading to an early supper now. 


Good night Beakers. Peace. SED.


P.S. My oldest twin "greats" turned 10 years old the week before Christmas. They went with their Dad, and my Lil Sis, for a snow skiing getaway yesterday, and they had their 1st Ski School lesson this morning! Pic below of them with their Dad... click to enlarge, natch.
