Good morning, folks, and welcome to any newbies!

Sao - I dreamt last night that you came to the states for work and came to visit me. You looked like the picture you posted the other day, only a little older and with a bit shorter hair. You were really skinny, and you needed to eat approximately every hour. I introduced you to my family and we were all very charmed. Cool dream!

welcome all to the weekenders...
make sure you have a plan to get through the weekend safely, and always have an 'escape' plan if you find yourself in uncomfortable situations...

and remember, you must always post here and ask for permission BEFORE you pick up a drink...
Hearing, "I slipped" or however you wish to phrase it and you didn't post to discuss it first... just don't please...

putting on my muddy pants in the garage and getting outside before the sun bakes... UV warning today, for us 'Irish' folks, that is bad news - hat and sunscreen... haha, I remember the raft trip last Saturday, I put so much sunscreen on I think I would have floated...

I'd be happy to send you my spider, Lunar.

His name is Bartholomew, Barty McBartalson for short.

72 degrees already this morning, and only 4:40am here in Seattle(petals)

But....its Friday!!!!

Be well, sober people!!!

and Melina can send you some jujubes

after I thanked myself for covering the 'hole' with a tarp I decided to have breakfast and coffee... strawberry and banana in my oats...

I turned on the water and checked everything, letting it 'soak' for an hour before I fill in the hole just to be sure... and then we come to one of the mysteries of life... I look at the hole I dug, I look at the pile of dirt AND the wheelbarrow filled with dirt and see twice as much dirt as hole... how does that happen - don't explain it Trach...
here's my repair done last night holding the flashlight by myself because my helper was back to watching a movie on internet...

speaking of spiders... when I grabbed my one kayak from the shore, there was a huge spider... I tried to grab him but he scampered further into the hull, later when I was loading onto trailer, I tried to grab him but he scampered into the hull... he's still in the boat in the garage...
PL, this is a view of where the hose spigot went, up top just to left of 'steps' in middle of tier by 'tree' trunk... I used 80' of a 100' roll of piping to get there...

Brain's Tip Of The Day...

When you pre-drill screw holes to attach a piece of wood to cement, and it doesn't have to look pretty, and you can't get a marker through the holes, hold board to cement wall as your template, and use a can of spray paint to mark them... it works great, it leaves a tiny circle that sez,"drill here"
