I definitely vote YES!

We can do a paddle steamer or an actual sailing schooner from the 1800s...

Sorry I am saying wrong boat terms

I think the name of the ship is Lettie G Howard

Good morning early risers and insomniacs. I do hope you got some sleep.

Nothing much to say this morning. No granddaughter today as she ran a fever yesterday. So I’m going to bake a coffee cake this morning with red and black raspberries.

I wish I was at dka so I could get a bucket of those blackberries

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

All the best HDH. Safe travels and hopefully smooth sailing for mom.

That’s a lot.

But she sounds like a tough lady!

Thanks buddy! She’s not tough on the outside but forged steel on the inside. Hard life growing up (alcoholic abusive father) and many adversities along the way. She’s holding up way better than I ever thought for as many setbacks in a such a short amount of time as she’s had.

Hope everyone is getting prepped for the weekend. Looks like a hard week in the salt mines for me. Leaving some good grape MZ——

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Top of the morning to everyone! I hope all are well. Today is Friday? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to get my hurricane kit in order and do a few things to prepare for the season.
It is going to be another hot one today, no reason to expect anything else in the Tampa area.
ENJOY THE DAY!
That is an order!

Hopefully that thing spins on out to sea. I needed to do the same but was on hospital duty, so the boys are going to have to step up. I should be home before it decides what to do with itself!

Like meteor light show??

Aurora.

Yeah... I have an email needing a response...
Hope I have enough coffee to get to eleventy-hundred
I've had to start over 3 times already

 

[Boat1]

Another euphemism?

Nah,
Just face value

There is nothing better than a wise person who wants to pass along their wisdom!

Yes sir... and you are one!

She's GORGEOUS!!!

Like meteor light show??

When I was in Alaska, I stopped counting at well over 100 meteors in less than an hour!
I'll NEVER forget that night.
I looked online and there wasn't even any mention of a meteor shower happening.

Morning all...
Was trying for a proper catch up but no time...

@Wonderer67 @Boat1
Proper parenting prepares children to be open and receptive to good mentoring
both are invaluable IMHO
and when the two connect?

@Wat_Tyler - hope the weird is gone or transmorgafied into the good kind of weird for today Safe travels when you head back

@Oldermom935 - hope you had a good 10 miles!!

@B2fromA2looking4U - hope your granddaughter feels better... do you use a base recipe for your coffee cakes and just change out the fruit (and increasing flour a touch for fruits with more water content)? would love a copy of yours

@Missk_2022 - the Lettie G looks like a lot of fun!! Enjoy
Oh - there's a line for the blackberries, but I'll tell folks I was holding your spot up here by me...

I will be in Cooper Landing tomorrow evening and am hoping for a light show before bed or on Saturday morning before fishing

Northern Lights

I see you guys spell it differently to us!

my bad - I didn't think to Spell Check it
sorry

@Greylag - eye of the beholder and all...

@subdudeme13 - I have an emergency kit I prepare every year, too. Except mine goes in the car... for winter driving

@Tweedledude - fancy coffee and donuts always look and smell so good. But I'm not a fan of any of them. Give me a cup of black coffee and a plain bran muffin any day over all that other stuff. My siblings think I'm nuts... I tell them they just got extra Sweet Tooth from me just like they always got all my Halloween candy when we were kids.

She’s holding up way better than I ever thought for as many setbacks in a such a short amount of time as she’s had.

Some appointments are like that... go in for something routine and come out with 2+ new dx
Can be exhausting... for the care-givers, too.
Hope you can carve out some self-care time there in the mines.

Similar feels when I was a young child visiting in Maine one summer. The stars!! Being a City Girl, I never realized just how many are obscured by the light pollution from the city. I was allowed to stay out later than usual that night - just to gaze up at all those stars.

@dkak001 - yeah, it's a quickie for me today, too.
That's it from me for a while... busy, busy
Enjoy your Friday everyone

I wish I was at dka so I could get a bucket of those blackberries

I need to get them out of our hedges I have some of last years and they will go into whisky

 

[Greylag]

Busy day today with community stuff , gardening and helping put a new sign up on the RV site. I need to get the boys out yet and do a little training but it’s hot again today. I don’t like pushing them this weather but the season is not far off.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Sounds yummy!

My GF said so. I agree.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

My daughter has so many. I get as many as I want. I might freeze some too.

 

[Missk_2022]

Apparently they have sail school on her.... for 14 and up

 

[Missk_2022]

Her she is out on the lake

 

[Missk_2022]

Cute little bird

 

[Greylag]

New neighbours have moved in. Lovely girls with great teats but the offspring are a little rowdy. Guess they will settle in

No desktop for the next hour is driving me nuts.
Mad props to all of you using phones & tablets for Lit

Once a tanker, always a tanker.

I got the skidsteer all hung up on a giant log today. Prolly 20” in diameter. It lurched to the right… the left track was in the air spinning and the skidsteer was at abt a 25° angle. A little dangerous…

Fuck! I’m in the middle of the woods by myself. Shoulda taken a picture.

Army training kicked in. Stuff logs under the left track so it can get gription. I had my chain saw with me. Cut some logs to put under the left track. (I also used the front end loader to push myself up and back.

And it worked!

Who said being a tanker had no transferable skills to civilian life?

Got a lot of trail cut today. Had a stubborn spot with a lot of down logs.. maybe only got 30-40 Ft done in two hours, but then I broke out into a more open area.

I should have that trail done tomorrow.

 

[Rj_1954]

My day consists of watching TV because it's nearly 100°F outside.
Ya know these TV commercials about feminine deodorants are a bit much...
in my early years smoking was taboo on TV. Now you see how and where to apply the deodorants...

Why?

And I just found out my tablet also has phone capability (it's a galaxy tablet A8)

I'm not a fan of those either
Nor the drug ads that rattle off all the potential side effects

I'm strapped into a therapy device. So no access to desktop until I'm free.

Phone screen is tiny & holding it for too long makes my wrists hurt & hands go numb.

So I tried my tablet. Bigger screen. Will stand by itself better.
It's SO slow! And while it let's me copy an image, it won't paste it. Ugh

First world problems, right?
