the image is of an old jalopy backfiring its way down the road with a part here and then a part there simply falling off.

hopefully the rust has been stopped.

one headlight is a little dim and flickering,

timing gear is out of sync right now.

misfiring.

Beach walk

misty, almost had the entire beach to ourselves.

had to make a fire this am.

just got the parts to rebuild the grill.

friends who have been through this tell me that the backfire problems may begin a little later.

did some cane work at the store.

when i can find some kids in carts we all have fun.

they are fascinated by the spinning and balancing work

i should have been a  clown.

well, perhaps i am

i like kids, zip - ten, almost without exception .

after that, well, they're teenagers.

teenagers hate themselves, and who am i to disagree?

some of them grow out of it

but most of them don't.

may get the clubs and cane in later.

we make a number of wicked good dishes, but it's difficult to cook for two.

one eggplant, for example, turned into eggplant parmigiana, is three meals for us.

the vacuum packer helps.

eggplant parmigiana,by the bye, is good stuff.

it's a a challenge to use fresh mozzarella in time.

just have to eat it with slices of tomatoes and sweet basil leaves, i guess.

life is hard.

trapped three chipmunks today.

caught a groundhog a few days ago in one of the small traps.

he broke it of course, but it held on until the release a few miles away.

got the trap to work again today.

the animal was black. groundhogs are not supposed to be black.

we think he lived under the porch. we saw him many times.

he was kind  of an old friend, but i'm glad he's gone.

[Smoke]

The mighty hunter!

My neighbor shoots em but he has a bigger garden than I do.

Not much time for working out, got stuck at work waiting for deliveries… ya tell ‘em 2:00 was after 5 till he got there.

[fish]

if they're in the house, i'll kill them.

and i set traps in the car to kill them there, too.

but i don't like it.

they're just trying to make a living, and doing the best they can.

our good God has put them on the tail end of the food chain.

there is a lot i do not understand.

took the last two days off from formal exercise, following my last sharp stick in my eye.

just got the results of the 7 day heart monitor back.

could be worse.

could be better.

anyroad, get some exercise.

walking is good.

you, Smoke get lots of steps at work, but i'd l ike to hear about your steps along a trail without business stress.

out there in the wild.

peaceful.

[Smoke]

Got me a respiratory issue… self inflicted.
So not feeling the best.

Glad things aren’t horrible, always could be better.
But your upright and breathing so it’s a good day.

I’ll get out and about one of these days, rain here the next 3 days.

had to dig up portions of the drain-septic system connection to see if roots are making the drains slow.

yup.

then had to saw off portions of the roots.

now hope the root blockage in the system pipe will decay by itself instead of having to call in the pro-cavalry.

good exercise, though.

[fish]

beach walks are dictated by tide times.

cane work usual on these walks.

good for now.

had to finish the septic tank job.

we get root invasion at the entry to the tank,

I dig it out, cut off all the outside roots,

as i fill the soil in, treat the dirt with copper sulfate.

it is amazing how time passes.

i did this 5 years ago, and thought i would do it every spring to keep it from happening again.

until the kitchen drain ran slow, i didn't think about it.

then i thought it was 2 years and might be 3.

5 years.

[Smoke]

Time flys!

Yea, I have a grey water pit that I need to dig up about every 5 years or so too…. I know I’m past 5 on it.

Freakin messy job too!

I’ve been faithfully taking my “Golden Milk” the last couple months. My shoulder has been feeling Fantastic! I shouldn’t jinx myself.

Tumeric, Cinnamon, Ginger, Rose Hips, Black Pepper, Powdered Heavy Cream, Chlorella

Heavy Tlbs in 2 cups of hot water every morning during the week!
Awesome stuff!
