You do a BEAUTIFUL job on 'em!
Thanks for posting the pics for us... I 💘 LOVE them!
I wish I could claim those as mine. The pics I’ve posted over the last week was a local club that had a mixture of amateur trees and a few pros that sent display trees. They are just jaw dropping beautiful. Not only in appearance but in knowing what goes into getting the tree to a show quality specimen. I have a couple that have been show worthy at times but then I’ve managed to make them un-show worthy!😂. The beauty is you can just prune and let nature take over. This hobby teaches patience if nothing else.

Left Big Sky Country for TX. California is in the cards today. Do you know the way to San Jose?

Power is back.
Hope it stays
Was ticking down the last hour of that 4-hr fridge food window.
Very lucky I don't have any meds that rely on refrigeration. That would be very scary!
🤞 no more outages... especially during the heat wave!
Night all... will try to catch up tomorrow - once I get everything plugged in again.
Likes2, you need a small Generator. During hurricane season, they’re a must down our way. I’ve had a few over the years but I bit the bullet and bought a Honda eu2200. Not the cheapest on the market but easy to use and QUIET! I’ve run the TeeVee, Xbox, several fans, lights and most importantly the FRIDGE, just off that one 2200. This year if a big blow comes I’m going to get the companion 2200 (you link them) just to have the extra power.

Here’s an Overview of the Honda’s. You can surely get a basic generator cheaper, but Honda’s have a good track record and I can personally attest. My mother has a Husky with a Subaru engine my dad picked up at the Home Depot around 7-8 years ago. It’s pretty big, around 5000-6000w, but it’s fairly quiet for a larger gen. If I remember it came in $500-600? Prices may vary in your location! 😂. Those Honda prices stay consistent FWIW…
 
The inverter types are the quiet ones. Harbor Freight has the Predator line (the finest that China can produce, I'm sure) and they 2Kw model is $600-700. There is a 3.5Kw model for maybe $850. Five thou is maybe $1100. One of our contractors has the 9500 watt model and it's pretty quiet.
 
I am still high from 1 5mg percocet... split in half and took half then other half 30 mins later because pain was still paining.... then my eyes rolled around in my head like marbles and I fell asleep.... that stuff is powerful. I have had surgery and taken tylenol.... that stomach pain I get is no joke
This is one 5 mg...not 15 mg...I would be DEAD
 
Happy Sunday -
Smoke 'em while you got 'em cause Monday's just around the corner :rolleyes: :LOL:
What's everyone up to today?
I drink a grape schwinzer thing Or mix up the WHO formula.
I am drinking a grape thing. Merlot I believe.
Mines non alcoholic. :)
Po-tay-toe, Po-tah-toe
So long as it's not mixing red wine and cola or scotch and milk... that's next-level nasty 😵

My challenge - coming up with a homemade substitute for gatorade with no refined sugar, artificial sweetener, food dyes, or citrus. I've got time before my colonoscopy to come up w/ something. 😂
finally am on the last stage of the shower install..tommorrow is a calking day and then i'm done. told the misses that this is the last renovation i'm doing. i have the skills and the knowlage from 40 yrs in construction..i just dont have the stamina or strength anymore.
The sad thing about aging is we have the knowledge but our bodies are not as willing. I used to do my own electrical but developed essential tremors. I had to give up electrical and other fine motor activities.
:unsure: Does being on the teaching side of apprenticeship get you free labor? I mean - there should be some perks, right? 🧑‍🏫
Another busy day of driving but probably only five hours today. It’s a christening on the other side of the country in England. Because of the border it’s actually almost a direct west east journey and good roads so shouldn’t be a chore.
Glad it's an easy drive - relatively speaking. Safe travels and have a wonderful time!!
Up to go to the bathroom.

Feel a little better but nauseated and woozy from meds... back to sl÷p I ho
Good luck with the meds and pain meds... I hope you and your medical team come up with a solution! 🫂
I have to say… putting a division sign in there gives that post some serious math cred!

➗➗➗
🤣🤣🤣
Does that work? Hmm...
June 22nd
Or any day, really.
Today, I encourage . . . Commando!!!
Never get a wedgie going commando...if you do go commando make sure all the stuff is where it needs to be...zippers have teeth
For decades our family went to an outdoor festival every summer. Often, family friends would join, too. One year it stormed so bad there was standing water several inches deep in places.
I made my way back to "home base" at one of the music stages after the storm cleared. Well, our tablecloth was still on the picnic table, but no people. :LOL:
So, I bided my time and slowly rolled up the cloth "kneeding" it to squeeze out as much water as I could. When I was done, still no one had returned.
I wasn't worried - we all knew how to get back to the hotel. So off I went for my mile walk - with the rolled up table cloth under one arm.
At the hotel, I stopped in at the bar. Now I'm freezing cold because A/C + wet = 🥶 *
Sure enough - Lucy (mom) and Ethel (her BFF) are together at a table. They laugh uproariously when they see I have the table cloth. Apparently, they considered it "collateral damage" of the storm?
That's not all - Ethel is wearing my clothes. (I was rooming with Lucy at the hotel).
They offer to buy me a drink for my troubles. So I sit down and join them.
It's at this point that Ethel then leans over and breaks it to me: "I'm going commando - in your clothes" 🤣🤣🤣

*Hey, @Wonderer67 - you're right... math cred 🤪
It took me a long time to write this note an the last o,e too
Recovering from knee replacement... those first few days on full pain meds? I couldn't send a text to save my soul. I'd keep nodding off - it would take me so many tries to send a simple "all is well" to friends/family.
I just assumed that the pretty blonde you posted recently was his Birthday card. 🤣
😳😂😂😂
I'm swapping shifts today... off at 06:00, on from noon to midnight and the swap will be complete.
Rule of thumb.... Leave your biorhythms at the gangway. 🤣
No wonder the coffee looks like motor oil :oops:
Hope you're getting the powerest of all power naps right now!!
Vacay-a-yay-yay starts Friday.
Begin Countdown: Vacay-a-yay-yay
Have a marvelous time!!

That and reminds you that Mother Nature is in control, not us. :LOL:
You've shown us some outstanding pics of your own efforts as well as some for that process where half the root is white... that was cool!

🫂 Thank you for the recco... and @Wat_Tyler with the follow up... excellent information!
Growing up, that would be called Family Dinner
Of course, we had your crew outnumbered almost 2-1
Of course, I read that as Slut Eye . . . .

Thank you - what a lovely complime...
Hey! Why aren't you sleeping? *taps foot*
You should be dreaming of your Beautiful Goddess before your Turnaround Day starts.
I must confess... the wakeup call with my Lovely Goddess was ASTOUNDING!

My turnaround is done.
I'm back on shift, from noon to midnight now!

...and You're welcome!
I'm dead serious about enjoying your replies! 💖
