karen - Good luck at doc appt.

kb - Thanks for info and video.

Lani - Thanks for the InciWeb link.

The contractor is coming tomorrow to start on my kitchen floor, and doors.  I had to pack up everything in the standing pantry and on a bookcase shelf thingy I have in the kitchen, plus move the kitchen table and chairs.  I am ready, I think.

TIG  Pretty sad game.  Lost their spark but had a good season.

KAREN   The men had very legitimate reasons  LOL

LANI   WOW  Only 6 yrs old and no parts around.  Did you check your home for an appliance gremlin???   I'll have to scout out a sweatshirt robe.  Sounds perfect.

Gotta run..BBL

[tsk34]

Where is everybody this afternoon LOL

Where is everybody this afternoon LOL

I'm just sadly roosting here in January at mile marker something or other on the PCH.   

I'll spin us up some vinlyl to keep us warm from the Great State of California.

Throwing diapers and water and money at the present LA fire situation is just not my cup of tea for those that really know me.
The credentials, experience and knowledge to actually help the people seriously hurting here.

As invited.

I was a passenger up in a USFS helicopter today.
All the cameras from any source never do justice to the ocular attached to your brain 360° swivel view.
I have sadly seen it before but hoped I would never have to see it again. Holly Shit.
I lost my professionalism for a bit.
Sara the crew member next to me handed me a days long dirty smoky faded reddish bandanna and said have a moment Sir.

We all have.

BL, I hooe you are writing a book!

Karen _ over the ear the thump noise of the rotors of a open door old Bell UH-1 Iroquois. Huey.

Well it's SOUNDS like rotor ear shot ground love rescue to me.   

I always know what type of older flying carcass is flying my carcass. I knew I knew you peeps and this craft.   

I'll kick your tires harder than you do. 

1,000 ft above the terrain doing 140 MPH you can bet.   

Facial expressions say it all even with "helicopter headphones" on.

I gave Sara my now almost cheesecloth dirty smoky blue bandanna from the CA Camp Fire in 2018.

Sara can I keep this one ?

An elbow patch elbow bump nod and just took back off .. 

HERE.

[Lani]

Where is everybody this afternoon LOL

I was doing some spring cleaning in the downstairs closets. 

[Lani]

Lisa, YAY! Exciting changes are coming! I'm sure all will go well with your contractor. 

Tsk, Aly wants me to sage the house and cleanse it of bad energy. 

Kb, A young drum genius, look at those small arms and hands go!!  awesome performance by one so young!

{{{BL}}}

Good night!



Dear Lord, we ask for your continued protection for all in harm's way of the CA fires. Shield every person, every family, every child, animal and wildlife caught in the path of these flames. Guide them to safety and provide shelter for the displaced.

Please help the firefighters, emergency responders, and volunteers who risk their lives daily to combat the flames. Strengthen them with courage and endurance, and surround them with Your divine protection. May their efforts be fruitful, and may they find rest and peace amidst their labor. Amen

Today   47F sunny and  24F tonight 
                               
   





CLynn- here's to Ed's future retirement this April; the Iowa State Capitol all lit up at night w/full moon is rather imposing

Tsk- You found us... glad your shoulder is back to 'normal' ...there's Betty Boop 

Tig- a real 'Brrr' in your temp today;   your Vikings lost    ... cookies...what sort?

Lisa-thanks for the coca this AM; tomorrow is the big day for the floors/doors, it's gonna seem like a 'new' house. 
 I miss everything about the Desert- the coyote howling at night is sort of a lonely sound-

Lani- there's those  cute funny sloths..tks for the report;

KB- amazing child prodigy

BL-tks for the Robert Plant and Alison Krause concert--sadly my speakers aren't working--new one  have gotten detained they tell me.   Cool ride in chopper I bet.



   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, Cheers and RRP / families.

Good Morning Beakers!

      

Phyl, beautiful pics of houses in the snow! Beautiful Red-crowned Cranes in the 365. I would love to fall asleep to the sounds in all of the 365 videos... Thanks for Amy's Blog, the Norths are looking so beautiful and their nest does look cozy!


Lani, I was intrigued with Aly's suggestion to sage your house! So I looked it up and there are actually instructions on how to do it!  I say it wouldn't hurt, but I would have to wait and do it when it's warm enough to open all the windows in the house! https://i.pinimg.com/736x/05/76/e0/0576e0a15687a7f20ad666ada48707f5.jpg   Thanks for the update on the baby sloths, sweet little babies...  Sweet pup with his teddy bear...

BL, if I am understanding right, you were able to view the LA area via helicopter? Man, what feelings that must have evoked...

tsk, I was also doing some spring cleaning yesterday! A drawer here and there, a closet... Just getting the hidden areas done a little at a time. I am really trying to reduce the amount of stuff! Goodwill, get ready! Some stuff I can put out for DAV, which is where Ed and Kelsey go all the time. As long as it's my stuff! And I can tell him not to buy it!! 

Lisa, your new floors are almost here! Will they get it all done today? Would love to see a before and after pic, it makes such a difference! I watch a lot of the decorating shows and love seeing the before/afters!

I found this article that shows several scenes of the destruction in LA, with one house that wasn't touched:  https://apnews.com/article/california-wildfires-last-remaining-untouched-homes-photo-gallery-5adfbac6e9d52ffaed5126b7d7469733?user_email=ee49f33cb7c0743a6a2024111cc7baab9c847fd9093be752a928b36be515a5ed&utm_medium=Morning_Wire&utm_source=Sailthru_AP&utm_campaign=Morning%20Wire_14%20Jan_2025&utm_term=Morning%20Wire%20Subscribers

NEFL - waiting for a pip! Day 37

[tsk34]

LISA   Yay  It is finally beginning     Hope you've take a "before" photo.  Thurs I'm having a cabinet guy come and evaluate my aging cabinets and wearing off of the stain around many of the knobs.  I'd like to replace the fronts.

KB  That little guy will go places on the drums.

BL   What an experience.  WOW  I agree with KAREN   You need to write an " Adventures with BL"

LANI   Heard a fire story yesterday of a gentleman who sprinkled his home with Holy Water blessed by Pope John Paul II before he became a saint.  His house is still standing with others gone around him.

PHYL   Cozy homes in the woods    Thanks for Amy's blog  Some nice video.

CLYNN   So funny with you trying to purge  LOL    Those photos of the unburned homes are miraculous.  They must smell like smoke inside tho.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILLTOSA
