Sounds like a solid plan.
On banjo lessons… a friend of mine, who is a pretty accomplished guitar player, said that Steve Martin (the actor and comedian) is actually a really great banjo player. I was quite surprised!

It looks like ash trees are going the way of the American chestnut.
There is some kind of injection you can give them but it’s a crap shoot.
It’s a major safety issue here in the northeast and the upper Midwest. In big wind, storms, a lot of the dead ash trees blow over onto powerlines.
Seventy-odd years ago, Dutch Elm disease wiped those out. I think there are still a few out there, but nothing like they used to be.

Hmmmm. I may have gotten our bar rolls mixed up with a Monty Python script.
Lemme check….
Which sounds exactly like something you would do.
Me, too, for that matter….

The whole meal were requests for daughters friends birthday. S'mores dip is always a big hit .... The puppy is an adorable terror that chews anything in his path right now but we're working on it
The car trailer will require some wiring repair before I use it again. It seems that some member of the universal puppy has chewed the harness that plugs into the truck.
The landlady blamed Daisy.
I think that is cruel.
I blamed Beau….

Ok so I did go ahead and finally stop coffee and changed out of the robe so I'm a little closer to being fully human

I got the grocery shopping done this morning and got some cash from the ATM. That damn kitten pulled down a curtain, so I stole a rod from upstairs where it wasn’t being used and replace the Ben one down here with it. Cooking some more food. Gathering some stuff by the front door to take with me when I leave this afternoon. Surprise of surprises, I put the rest of the clean clothes away. That’s always a nice touch.

Rumple Mintz…ah the teenage memories…not only for the Drink either! Pretty sure my cousin had this one dangling from the wall…
Whole tribe is over. Kids did manage to get an AirB&B for a few weeks. Good deal also! Bonus! I’m going to insist momma hang out here. She’s getting forgetful and I feel better with us watching her. Not much in the way of privacy today so leave you with the Spring Time MZ…I think this worked! It’s getting to 70 in a few days…maybe the harshest part of winter is over for us. Although I’ll not buy any plants till after St Paddy’s…

There are specific details I'm not keen on sharing publicly. Nothing horrible, but...

His son works with him and he has a crew. My wife has already read him the riot act about how he needs to let the young pups handle this one and he can just run the show. In fact she insisted and he promised!Love the MZ today, H! I'm so sorry to hear about your contractor!I hope he doesn't have any complications from his MVC. A crash bad enough to put him in the hospital can result in soft tissue injuries which can take some time to manifest. Just be prepared if he needs to put you off for a bit more.
. He has done work for us before and honestly is one of the hardest working people I know…except for our own Wonderer and Wat of course! it’s all starting to line up a bit…I don’t think weather will be a problem as they’ll be in the crawl space, so hopefully it is going to warm up and we’ll get this knocked out.

When I was a kid there was a local family that had a Sunday morning worship show. Dad was the preacher and he and mom sang. The rest of the five kids shook down into several instruments. The youngest played the banjo. I told my mom I wanted to learn how to play the banjo. I got the above response!

It used to be part of his comedic routine before he moved on to movies and bigger and better things. He hasn’t hung the banjo on the wall though…
He frequently performs with the Steep Canyon Rangers (which I’ve seen live several times, although sans Steve)…

Let us hope so then.

Ash trees down all over.
My neighbor’s yard is nothing but dead ash trees…
The trail was blocked
We unblocked it.

Snow is melting which is great until the dogs paws are muddy every single time they come in from the yard.... Toweling off dogs feet 73 times a day is not exactly how I prefer to spend Sunday

And an old oak came down. Damn shame… they are my favorite trees.
But we’ll put it to good use.
