Hey Olives, you might wanna starts on eastern-westgern time, ugh-ugh-ugh-ugh-ugh-ugh...

nice how things happen... I up in the back fitting rocks and sculpting the dirt when my neighbor comes into the yard... they are digging today and everything in the front of the transformer is going to be 'destroyed'. So I dug up a dozen flowers I planted and an old phlox... was just watering the phlox in a wheel barrow when they pulled up... and I was watering the potted flowers I notice a spider on my shoulder. Tried to blow it off, hmm, strong spider... oh my... it was a big tick. Maybe got it from the hemlock types tree in front rooting around... I hate ticks.
Having lunch with my new favorite drink of the month. Iced tea with San Pelligrino Limonata about 3 or 4 to 1...

glad to see some new faces and newer returnees... and older returnees...

so if you are struggling to get through the weekend and are fighting the urge to have an alcohol drink, have one of these instead...

Nearly home time. Trouble concentrating all day.

Mrs B emailed me a picture of Junior after he devoured a bowl of spinach. That cheered me up no end!!!

Welcome any newcomers. Greetings to all of my regular backward baseball cap wearing homie's and homettes!!!

Thanks for the flower's LB!

RedBerry and joandmelandhan, as LBrain always says ... you have to come and ask for permission before you can drink. Remember that we are here to help.

I shall definitely start on Standard Time as I do not believe in Daylight Savings Time.




hint: it will most likely be around 4am where I live.

I'm back. I ate too much candy and can't move at the moment. And it wasn't that much candy but apparently it doesn't like me.

Mesa, the sign people are hopefully shamefaced at that gaffe. Especially touting the benefits of public education. Spell check is not the whole answer.

I've already had one person ask if I will be drinking a special Wisconsin beer while I'm in Wisconsin for my reunion. Oh, yay. I said I was going to focus on dairy instead.

Ruby, just tell them you gave it up for lent.

I forgot the missus worked today. So I had to prepare a quick lunch for her.
When I returned to duty I thought I would take a pic of what I'm working on. I should have done before and after picks, but I do have some that are close. The mess I had to dig out of here etc... still lots to do...

for you new folks, this has been waiting to get done for years... finally getting around to it...

Brain i was debating on the Lent thing. Funny that you mentioned it. "And I just never went back." You are a machine. I want some of your energy. Mine seems to have fizzled away.

I keep thinking today is friday. At least I'm off tomorrow. Yay!!!

here's another view... okay, so you see that black plastic pipe with white stripe? I put that underground when I worked on the garden wall 10 or so years ago. It has been coiled and tied to one of the trees all that time. The 6X6 sticking out of the ground was a piece of 'scrap' that has been laying around the yard. Gonna fabricate an upper watering station there. It was originally for the possible waterfall feature that's still in my head - but not my budget.
Anyway, if I was still drinking, this wouldn't be happening. Back to it...................
