something to wear while chasing a poultry guest (sorry it's before i'm really awake but yes this is how my brain sort of works in the morning :) )...

yes, they keep changing today's weather forecast but i'm likely to go out and mow anyways even if it is raining a little because the rest of the week forecast is even more rain and right now the ditch is mostly empty of water for the first time in several weeks and i'd like to get it mowed...

before mowing i had to do the usual oil change and since i wasn't sure how much oil i would need and the oil i had on hand was enough i had to run into town to get some more. so i got to meet the new hardware store (well it's the old hardware store now being run by other people) people and was...

i just took a few minuteses to read up on it. wow... never had heard of it before (no big surprise as i don't go out of my way any more to find yet more things to do on-line or on the computer :) ). looks like fun. i've played some of the Star Trek and other space trading games in much more...

got the back, side and some of the front mowed, but i'm not in that great of shape so i quit at the halfway point (which isn't really halfway as it is likely more like 2/3rds of the way) and called it enough for the day. will finish up tomorrow... i had to take a break part way through what i...

it is morel season here and i found four small ones while walking back towards the house. with all the rain we've had this is not a surprise. i'll leave the small ones alone so they can keep spreading more spores around but if a nice bigger one pops up i'll bring it in and rinse it off (saving...

we got this new weed wacker because Mom wanted to use it. will she use it? no. i can go one charge with it at a time which is about an hour. if i am moving i can do most of what needs to get done in that hour. do i want to do it? no. does it get done? so far twice a year for trimming...

it just seems so wrong to me to have to wait for the frost to burn off before having to go out and mow... just wrong...

i'll be having to do some mowing this weekend.

moodles of noodles and tomato chunks and cheesy potatoes (sometimes together). been pretty basic eats here and i'm quite ok with all of it. i think this weekend it is sloppy joes.

if she's willing to try them sometime to see what they're like give 'em a try. :)

yes, that's the best approach, Mom has learned and we get along great, once in a while i have to remind her that everything she's telling me in the morning is likely not being heard or remembered. yes i can take it up a notch and be useful in an emergency but it's just not what i want to do in...

the assumption there which may be wrong is that i'm probably not quite people until some time after i'm awake. messing with me at that time is just not a great idea. i may have read that book some time in the past.

has she ever tried adzuki beans? i think they are similar in texture and flavor to lentils. i have yet to find many beans of many kinds that i don't like. :)

i grow as many bean plants as i can get planted and keep alive, not only for dry bean production but also for fresh and shelly beans. i also usually grow some peas. we cook a lot for other people so when i make beans i'm usually making 4-6 gallons of beans at a time. i can't usually grow...

you may still be surprised eventually... :) if not that's ok, but once in a while check back and see if anything does sprout and grow.

sadly that forum was closed down for various reasons. there were a lot of great people writing there and i miss a lot of them. however you can reach it via the wayback machine...

the goat may just be smarter in that he knows there's better things to eat someplace and sometime elses...

i've had chili (from the freezer) the past few days for breakfast so the evening meals have been light and just snacks of different kinds. tonight i'll probably just have tomato chunks and noodles with some butter.

me either (other than looking at them with the plumber who came by to do some work). it rained last night enough that i didn't want to go out and play in the mud/dirt.
