    Going through my massive CD collection (over 400 CDs, I think?) to whittle down the ones I don't really listen to. That involves actively listening to, rating and cataloguing them all in order by artist name.

    Why did I wait until we're getting ready to move to do this??

    I hate to see you get rid of any.
    I believe soon we won’t be able to buy CDs.
    They’ve already stopped putting CD players in some cars. 😳
    But I hold on to the physical stuff.
    I hoard books. 🙄

    I only want to keep the ones I love and appreciate. The others I will trade with people or sell to a site that takes gently used media.

    I also hoard books, but I usually will read them once and send them on their way. My problem is that I hoard more books than I can read efficiently. :grimace:

    I will usually seek out hardcover versions of my favorite books (like my autographed copy of Jurassic Park).

    Fishing. Then, if I can pull myself away from the pond, when it’s not too early to be running the chainsaw helping clean up downed trees and a roof.

    Relaxing after helping a neighbor.

    Bad storm came through. Blew part of her roof off. Took the new -used truck down there when I was called to let me know to help.

    We had to drag the roof out of the road.

    Oops, that’s probably bragging about doing a good deed or some *kitten* like that.

    Sorry if so.

    Yay!!
    Ya know Tman, there are not nearly enough helpful people in this world today. Too many are only out for themselves. Never feel badly about sharing how you've helped other; I find it inspiring and wonderful.

    Hope life is good. <3

    Sigh, just dawned on me that I can’t do anything for the neighbors until insurance swings by their place.

    Ol’ girl confirmed, I can’t start until Wednesday. The temps will be back up into the mid to upper 80’s. 😕

    Oh well, a small price to pay for a cord or two of free firewood.

    So, back to fishing out is then. 😀

    I was going on there and noodling until I found out about these guys. Lol.

    These have to be close to the upper sizes they get round here.

    p6299owtll1n.jpeg

    So, funny story. I was hogging around the pond. Cleaning up cattails and brush. And I came across a red winged black bird nest. Had 5 eggs on it. I was checking on it then the hatched. All good. A couple days later there was one and it looked fully feathered. I thought it was the mamma. I got too close and it tried to take off and landed in the pond and started trying to fly out but couldn’t. Went straight for the other bank across the middle of the pond. I went FBR. I think I was chatting or on the phone with someone and I was like got to go! I jumped in and rescued it. Turned out it was the bully of the 5. The only one with feathers.

    Later I was liked, hmmm, that wasn’t smart considering I ain’t got the water cleared and I know there are snappers in here. Later ol’ girl reminded me I shouldn’t have done that.

    So, i rescued a bird from certain death.

    You mean snapping turtles? I've seen them on TV, you're a brave man. Not sure that birds siblings will be thanking you 😆

    That’s insane. We don’t have alligator snapping turtles here. Only common ones. They only get up to 30 pounds usually I think.

    Brag all you want, a good deed is a good deed ❤ I've only seen 1 person around here saying something negative about that and that person is irrelevant and the only thing that person does is lurk and disagree. 😊 don't let people like that get to you. Nice to see you back!
