Happy Birthday TSK

[Puff]

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??

I hope all follow up with the story after the freighter story.  You'll smile like I did, Good-feeling story.

Yes.

National Corn on the Cob Day – June 11, 2024
U.S.

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/

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.

EAGLES  Just think, this time next week you'll be " North to Alaska"

Good Morning Beakers!



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!

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.
