Yes they are trying to make Nutria "table fare" as I understand it in places like Louisiana. We have the same problem with fur breeders bringing them to the NW and turning them loose in Oregon etc. They have become a real nuisance and I wonder if they aren't competing with the beavers for space. I haven't read that they do…

Guess I was AWOL Sunday. Yeah Steve also riding a bike make sure the seat is the right height and adjusted nicely fore and aft. With that and E-assist it should be decently easy on the knees. I have seen some local individuals riding kid sized bikes with their knees pumping up and down near their chins. Uhhh not good. I…

We hit 85 almost 86deg in PDX yesterday Hottest day this year so far I think. cooler today for sure. Boy I wouldn't mess with a 300 lb bear no matter what. My brother wrestled a bear one time in a publicity stunt. I don't think that bear weighed much and was short. I think you won a car if you could pin it. uhhhh no way!…

2.5 inches of rain would be a big big problem for PDX area w lots of local flooding. Already looks like clearing and some sunbreaks in PDX. Think the early showers may miss us. Early dry bike ride. Gosh Bill sorry about your hip.

I was surprised about the new pope too although I felt there could be a new pope with South American connections and a more inclusive view. Now my sister's family in "Chi-town" can talk of having both a US President and a Pope. Hmmm maybe I could meet him?? Gosh Mike I am sooooo sorry about your piano teacher breaking…

Good grief spending all that time on scales seems like a glorious waste of time and energy. I like your innovative song though Mike. Was indisposed yesterday to put it politely. What a mess to start the day. doing fine later on. Yup I remember one of our good friends who like many of us was busy as heck in retirement said…

From 45 degrees up to about 82-84deg today (above 80 anyway). Not at all humid though. Sending good Ts and Ps for Sam's DW pre-op and then the trek to the rheumatologist. I have traveled with DW to Mongolia on a dinosaur dig with the museum group, visited the outback of "Never-Never Land" in Australia, whisked her off to…

Yeah no mow May isn't going to work for me either. Glad Connie is doing better with the yest free bread. So sorry about Heather and her pain and Joanne's upcoming visits too. Loos like typical Oregon Coast. cheers
-
Oh I am with you Mike. I really really try not to mow grass when wet as much as possible. In the PacNW that can be a challenge and the hired "MOW AND BLOW" commercial lawn and garden guys mow by schedule but can cause a mess. I also mulch 100% of the time these days. Mulching can easily make up for at least one or two…
-
Wow guess I have been AWOL a couple of days. My DW wouldn't go near anything called "PURGATORY" or " CHASM" certainly nmot anything with both names in it. So sorry about the woman who fell. Just mild spring weather here right now and dry. Lawn is growing like a weed even though I haven't fertilized it in over 15 years. It…

Wow that's amazing Stee you got your RealID cards so quickly. Glad ya survived…
-
Yup 33.7deg next door and about 34deg at my house too. Like Dave will warm into the mid 60s later today. Glad Dave is off fishing. Good luck Steve and Connie getting "Real ID" cards. Our older driver's licenses had all the same features but not the official logo so I plan on getting one. A bit of overkill here for sure.…

DD had a coupon for a honeybaked ham so we had that with homemade scalloped potatoes that were to die for albeit chocked full of calories. Had some homemade pastries too. Too much for sure. Good to see DD and DSIL for sure. I gave my daughter a grafted Orange Paruche cherry tomato and a Wall-O-Water to teepee over the top…
