Good morning!!!!

[LouNY]

I've had snake and gator, interesting taste kind of chicken like but not. I could eat it but am not that interested in it.
The best part was thinking that this one sure not going to be biting at me.

It was a mix of clear skies and clouds with 31ºF as this morning's low temperature at sunrise. The clouds moved out/burned off early and it has been clear skies and sun all morning. The current temperature is a pleasant 53ºF and I expect a sunny afternoon with a high temperature ~60ºF.

I have taken pictures of 43 different species of birds that frequent the area in the past 2 years, but I'll share these two of the SandHill Cranes. Sandhill Cranes were never seen in this area until 5 years ago and on 4.05 I captured these birds just off the road with my iPhone. So much for all my fancy photo gear.

67°F and .13 inches rain. Looks to be a gorgeous day ahead.

The big reorg will continue. Finding and moving items in the old tractor shed, the garage, and the shop. Most will move into new part, but somethings will be consolidated appropriate and the trash dealt with. In the past I’ve not been good at this and often things just land where there was an open spot. I need to do better.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I had it out in AZ, and it tasted a bit like chicken, but didn't like it.
To me Alligator, rattlesnake and crocodile tasted similar and I won't need to try them again.

I’ve only had alligator, and like Ken don’t need to try it again

We had a folk of Egrets visit our pond. Beautiful birds. Wish I could have gotten a picture of them

Drew-
It’s a long shot, but is there any possibility that the plug wires are switched? I’d be surprised if they would reach the wrong cylinder, but it’s worth asking…

I tried Rattle snake when living in AZ and gator in Florida. Not bad but not doing it again

The fox came by last night coming back from neighbor. After raiding the chicken coop it checks for the resupply. Sitting on the balcony it did not notice us and I was reaching for the iPhone to take a picture when Cody woke up and barked and it was gone

 

[riptides]

80 outside right now, heading to just a tad below 90.

Welcomed wife back from trip last night, seeing her off in a few again. Medical issues with family members. I'll be intermittently visiting here for the next month or so. I have the fort to hold down and full time jobs that need attention.

Hope all are safe, healthy or on the mends. Take care of yourselves.

Fox runs by the church building almost every morning. It made several trips today.

 

[sodamo]

Really very nice, Phil

beautiful purple flowers Ken

Kilroy, any woman that you are married to (or otherwise) that suggests you and her go shopping for a mini-ex is a keeper in my book.

Bill, I bet most of us were nodding away, yup

Ditto

I’ve had gator a few times in FL, but never snake. Thought the gator was pretty good and would have again.

 

[sodamo]

We have cattle egrets, don’t know if different from regular egrets.
Tend to show up when I’m mowing. Sometimes I think I’ll run over one, but they move just before. Tractor doesn’t bother them in the least.had a wild thought, wondering how they might grill up, but they are so skinny it wouldn’t be worth the effort.

no, they are too short. Engine is low hours too
I tried the old plugs and still ran badly. I guess I broke a wire pulling it off, as carefully as I could

Check for spark by connecting plug and holding it against engine and crank

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Sore from tire wrestling yesterday.
Had to pick up meds from pharmacy, noticed price went up. When I asked, they said because my insurance doesn’t play well with them anymore, they suggested going elsewhere for better price.
Mission bbq for lunch.
Costco run, few things almost $200, but did pick up a box of their gutter guards to try at $75.
Did not get gas although getting low, Costco gas just as high as other stations anymore, sometimes more.
84°, feet up rest of day.

Drew-quick test to see if one of the cylinders is just not firing.
Pull one lead, see how it runs.
Connect and pull the other lead and see how it runs.

 

[Buppies]

Hot day today really being careful about sunburn. Another doctors appointment tomorrow diabetic doc. ready to get yelled at

Be safe riptides

Came back from stress test and results were fine. One advantage of being older is they don't crank up the treadmill as high to reach target blood pressure.
Next appointment in 6 months. I try to stay on top of this.
