Not So Pro 3

[3browns]

Morning, 33 to 40 with scattered rain showers, snowing on the mountains around us I bet

Supposed to be getting our storage shed delivered on Monday at 10:00 and the fence crew is supposed to start on Wednesday

I am feeling anxious because of the weather but if we can get these two projects buttoned up it is the last major hurdle to getting the new house set up and finished

The hot tub will have to wait until next summer

I told him she could stay at the cabin if she needed. Just take a buddy heater and a grill tank and battery for lights.

Smart

Howdy Folks! Pruned some pine trees today. Luckily the localized thunderstorms missed us. Got pretty windy for a while though. It’s always fun getting out of trees on a windy day…feels like the ground is moving under you.

 

[AlfA01]

Wow, can’t like that

My condolences on your loss

Thanks. He was a really good dog. We rescued him from an abusive owner. The jerk didn’t like that he wasn’t aggressive.

So here's one for our resident fućked up wedding attendee @JoeDirt . Co-worker says his grandkids are coming over today so that his daughter can attend a wedding in Detroit with reception immediately following at a ski resort up near my cabin, about an hour south of @huskihl . It's a solid three hour drive. Probably a blast in the wedding party limo, but a great big GFY to everyone else. The parents paying for the nonsense must be beaming with pride.

What ever happened to damn fire hall wedding? Why can't anyone just do a simple wedding anymore?

Your chickadee pics always make me think I need to take the time to try that...

I came back after the fire and I couldn’t find the normal flock I could get to land, sad after I realized that. This was the first one that flew to me and landed since, must have been on of the ones hanging around before the fire, I believe they moved their general area because their thickets got scorched

How do you do this?

How do you do this?

Some people whisper to birds, others to goats.

How do you do this?

Judging by the picture, you must cut several trees down, and then the Chickadees will become friends with you.

re: Weddings.
There's a whole series of these shorts on youtube, from Cracked Magazine. (remember them?)
Cynically funny and a nice, quick, pace to these.
I've probably spent too much time watching and shaking my head yes, to a number of them.

"honest ads"(?) series. Usually runs about 5~6 mins per video/topic.

Morena E Hoas.
Scorched 3 different sorts of weeds last night (not including that type diks).
Today change some ute filters and wash a years grime off it.

Keep safe ay. Oh, and hug your buddy heater if he's a thing. I laugh, but I don't judge.

Just a random~ish side note on the wild birds.
Back when I still had a cat to look after, the local birds discovered the large water bowl I kept outside for her.
Dumped and refreshed every morning.
But It would be bird-arse nasty by lunchtime most days.
Cat was a serious mouser/rodent control so we wanted to keep her healthy.

Anyways, It finally dawned on me to try useing an old trashcan lid as birdbath.
I put the birdbath out towards a rearward woody side of back yard.
Didn't add but few moments to the morning water change, But stopped the bird mess in water bowl, once the birds found the bath dish.
The other cool thing was getting to see some Bluebirds and a few others that I hadn't realized were still around then.

Blue jays are full of attitude lol

 

[JugHead27]

How do you do this?

The first one took quite a while but once one trusted me the rest did They even make a certain sound and when I hear that sound I know I can turn around and see one looking at me trying to get my attention lol

 

[legdelimber]

Funny/interesting about the bluejay pump call.
Somehow the ones here make more of a "purttle-geet" racket when they do it.
Interesting how birds tend to develop localized calls.
The ones here always seemed to use that call for locating others and staging a raid on fruit trees.
Typically would be groups of five jays, two across the street in tall trees and the rest of them in back yard. All of them taking rotation on pecking the fruit.
You couldn't even sneak out the front without that loud alarm call from one of the sentries.
No fruit trees anymore, but still see it done for acorns in the oaks.

I know that sound. They really complain when the feeder is empty.
