I wonder(er) if I should plant an apricot tree . . . .

No.

No, you should not. At least not near any tracked vehicles.

 

[Wonderer67]

She would still have to use banked time (PTO, vacation, holiday) to get pa

Yeah, I forgot that fmla is not paid time off.

I love taking pictures also. But now, I just use my phone. It's a better camera than anything I've ever had. My husband was very into photography during his younger years; he amassed a good collection of equipment. I will never use it. A friend suggested I see if the local high school would want it for art classes.

And what is old is new again. Some people like the old school 35mm slr camwras. You’d probably have no problem selling it.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

My condolences, B2! The prep is the worst part!

The only consultation is that it’s better than colon cancer.

 

[Wonderer67]

No doubt!!! Wat will be riding herd on the confusion of weasels today.

So let me get this straight.

You’re gonna be riding the weasels hard today.

But you’re working by yourself?

So you will be hard on yourself??

Heh heh…

I like both of those songs. But I also prefer a short song that gets right to the point.

Mississippi Queen, Paranoid, Communication Breakdown, just to name three which kick ass in well under 3 minutes.

Try a local college as well. I gave away all my film 35 mm cameras a long time ago. I now use a simple digital.

I suppose that I might end up with a track loader at some point. I'm still on rubber tires for the time being and the foreseeable future.

Basically, yes. And liking it better.

I totally wanna get a skid steer after renting one for a week.

And a small dump truck.

I’d really be in the firewood business.

I could use a dump truck, too, and an equipment trailer. Bo could go out and drum up some work if that were the case. Case . . . get it???

I just gotta be able to aFORD it.

Yeah, there's always that part.


In other news, this weasel herding plan is gettin' 'er done.


I shoulda thought of this earlier.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good morning Wat and Wonderer. And a very early morning to OM.

What a difference a week makes. We were roasting and now it’s 48F this morning ! My last grandkids taxi run. I hope my son joins me.

Take care today.

Morning everyone...View attachment 2560515

Hey how did your get a picturre of me?

 

[subdudeme13]

Altho I have VA benefits, my hurdle is to get to 65 and Medicare. L

Medicare has had my back. I have the traditional program and warn those that are considering getting an advantage program to be very careful. My sister had a bad experience with an Advantage program and it almost bankrupted her.

What has you thinking you should?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Off to herd weasels.


Wonder(er) if'n any of them will require beatings today . . . .

 

[SecretAdmirer584]

Wow, you guys and girls didn't lie when you said this is a fast moving group, but I enjoy it.
I'm just checking in quickly to try and catch up with what is happening. Today is a crazy busy day at work.

Bought a pair of those Bluetooth earbud things from Klipsch last year. One stopped working so sent my info and they replaced them! Win! They forgot to put the FedEx return label in my package so now I’m in the email chain again. I told them just give me an address and I’ll pick up the charge for the return. They were very good to deal with and their customer service was very prompt.

If’n yer in the market for ear buds…they’re a good way to go.

The weekend came and went, didn’t get much done other than spending time with family…which if you think about it, is worth its weight in gold. I cleaned out thousands…you read that right…THOUSANDS, of duplicate photos yesterday from about an 11 or 12 year time frame of iPhone and DSLR pix. One 500+ burst was from a road trip from Red Rocks to El Paso where my then 6 yr old took screen shots of dinosaurs from some game we put on my iPad for him! .

I’ve always considered myself an amateur photographer but the type that pulls the camera out, takes some artistic shots, doesn’t like the “art” my eye saw but didn’t translate, and will put it away to gather dust for years. Pull it out, repeat. Well, I’m in a photo mood as of late (mainly due to our trip to VA last month), and decided to go whole hog again. First order of business was to clean out old photos of junk and duplicates…so they can be replaced with more bad photos and junk!

After I get these professional photos of MZ I’ve collected out of my system, I think I’ll post some of my own shots……maybe…

Here is one of the Pro shots I adore and it will never get the delete button. Dancing Monday MZ——

I LOVE B&W!!!
Unfortunately, I lost 16k photos when I crashed my phone.... a large number of them, sunrise/ sunset pictures offshore.

And what is old is new again. Some people like the old school 35mm slr camwras. You’d probably have no problem selling it.

Best camera I ever owned was an old, Vietnam era and Canon camera.... no batteries (other than for the flash).... that thing took the best pictures in the world and was fukkin bulletproof!

FYI... I've got a hangover you could frame.... I spent the most PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL day you can imagine with my daughter and grandchildren yesterday, then, for the icing on the cake, I got to sit up and "cuss and discuss" everything about life with my Lovely Wife Goddess until 02:00 this morning..... the depth She has and shares with me is nothing short of incredible!
I've been through 9 kinds of hell to get where I'm at, but I'd do it ALL AGAIN, if I knew that She'd be waiting for me at the end of it!

Exactly! I would not be who I am if I hadn’t done every dumb thing that I did to get here. Correspondingly, the only way I’d go back to be younger is if I could take all this head full of information with me.


Weasels are herded….
