Haven't been farther than the kitchen for a hair cut for almost 20 years. She has been telling me I need a hair cut for a couple weeks and I just keep putting it off. For years she cut mine and I cut hers. She has been going to a soo lon since we moved to the big city.

Buppies and all others with the creeping crud, prayers sent. Ed

If I go more than a week, it's just too uncomfortable; maybe I could get accustomed to it, but I doubt it.

Think my FIL got a haircut about every week.he went to barber, i think to get out of the house. he could do it himself with a number 2, he keeps it buzzed.

These days, I have to get out the trimmers for the hair in my ears, eyebrows, and nose a couple times a month, and I can go two months before the stuff on my head needs attention...

I have an attachment for my Norelco razor with which I do my eyebrows myself, and I do the nose myself, but my wife does my ears. Of course, now-a-days, I can do my own haircut because we just cut it all off that the shears will take off; just don't shave it then like some do. But even doing it once a week, when I walk outside, I can tell it's much cooler right after a haircut than it will feel a week later. I don't think I could stand the heat of having long hair, as some people prefer.

No white clay around here only red clay. Here is a large zoomed pic. Do you think someone painted the shell white?

Don- That is a really nice picture of that turtle. Thanks for sharing it. My turtle pictures are poor quality, but are taken from a tippy kayak with an old digital point and shoot camera. I thought that it was a slider, but was not sure so I did some research. I think the turtle is a "red eared slider" also called a "terrapin" and the "elegant slider" and they are good eating. One of the few things that I have yet to eat.

I agree with Riptides as to the sun bleaching.

Bird is correct- they are commonly sold as pets.

I have not seen any turkeys here since Fall.

4 Toms just showed up at the bird feeders. The beards were between 4" and one was ~10" maybe longer.

Last year we had a steady flock of 43 hens and jakes and a separate flock of 8 toms until "Spring" :wink:

The most we ever counted at one time were 91 (hens/jakes) who trooped up our driveway in single file. Wifey did the counting; I become "counting challenged" around 22 or 23. :embarrassed:

Not far off at crack of dawn sounds gobble gobble will fill the air.

^^^^^^^^^^

One reason I keep the lower field mowed is to watch the turkeys do their territorial/dominance/breeding displays.

As usual learned something new about turtles. Most common turtle around my place are Snappers. You do not want to be grabbing one with your hands.

Thanks Ed feel ok for a little bit then terrible for an hour. Freezing then hot. Relatively cold today only made it to 40 cloudy and windy

$18.00 haircut for me every four weeks do not think a white pony tail would look good at all. Years and years ago brown but started turning when I was 17 but at least I still have all of it. Haven't gotten to the weed eater stage of removing hair growing in my ears yet

What a day, not what I had planned, but....I called the local rv place about selling my Jayco travel trailer and he said fine, but the Raleigh show was in two weeks and I need it in here immediately and blah blah. So...for the last five hours I have totally unloaded an rv and cleaned the inside. Thankfully the outside was clean enough. They charge 650 bucks to make ready and clean the rv, they are getting a bargain with mine, it's clean already, so I didn't feel guilty at all not washing it. Maybe I can negotiate that charge down a little... Ron knows how much work this is/was. All that stuff crammed in the compartments. And worse, I forgot a coke in the fridge, it froze and exploded and leaked onto the kitchen floor. My bad and what a sticky mess and pain to clean up. Had to take all the fridge shelves out and wash them, but no loss other than my energy. Which is currently hovering around zero.

My local barber has been 15 bucks for awhile. I give him a 20 and he keeps the change. Others don't tip at all, or give him one dollar.
Tipping is almost mandatory up North, here not so much.

at this rate I'm not going to make it until 8pm. Too much OT.
