Thanks for asking, Jake.Hope you are doing well, GW, in the north as one of the frozen chosen. Must be some mud and some snowfall by now. How cold has it been?
I remember all those little lizards in Florida. I thought they were cute little critters. I'm glad you're not trying to kill the little fart. Catch him and put him back outside. They help control bugs like spiders and cock roaches, which are thick down there.Lowe's was all decorated for Christmas and playing Christmas music when I walked in on my way home.I had to stop in to get some glue traps to catch a poor little lizard...as I was coming out of my bathroom this morning, I saw him run under my bed.
I wish that my son could have found and caught him to set free, but I'm not sharing my bed with a lizard.
Oh, and I will carve a jack-o-lantern, but I refuse to clean out the innards...that stuff gives me the willies.
And I think it's just WAAAAAAY too early for Christmas anything. It's getting pathetic, a sickening commercialization of it driven by greed.
Ha! That is awesome!I used to hear stories about the dumpsters behind the BOQ....look before you toss in your garbage or it might come flying back at you.........monkeys.In the Philippines we would have geckos in the house, running up the walls or on the ceiling. We had no problem with them as they ate bugs........ For us it was normal.Lowe's was all decorated for Christmas and playing Christmas music when I walked in on my way home.

My mother (a navy brat) lived in the Philippines for years. I heard stories about having to keep windows rolled up on some stretches cause the snakes dropped out of the trees. Then there was the blowfish she stepped on. She claims she loved it but her happy stories gave me nightmares.
Yeah, I was surprised when we visited Roswell not long ago. I expected a seedy little desert "military" town, not at all what I was expecting. As for the positions they're filling are located in Roswell, Albuquerque and Santa Fe.The wife got a phone call yesterday from the state of New Mexico about a job in her field, multiple openings throughout the state. They called back today to set up a personal interview....... currently they're doing the interviews in Roswell......... Why not Albuquerque or Santa Fe.......? Oh well, road trip.......
Well you could do a lot worse than Roswell though the weather there isn't as nice as you have in Colorado. Mild winters - and sometimes really hot summers, but a swamp cooler will keep you nice and cool because there's plenty of sun. Roswell was the first place I lived in New Mexico but I was too young to remember more than one or two scenes of what I think are memories of that time. It is big enough to have good size grocery stores and a shopping center and a Walmart and all of that. You would be in truck farming country with lots of good fresh produce and also pecan country. Not really small town. You're only a short drive from the beautiful Sacramento Mountains, a lot of historic old western towns, and Ruidoso. But I take it you could be placed almost anywhere. A least most of the really small town where you might go are close to bigger ones.

And now the fog has burned off, birds are singing, geese and ducks flying over - another beautiful day.

Yes!Some of our handy work...
The farmer put up the crocked boards and lights, we just ran the conduit to plug in each light, and to the end for the fans...
I think we need a little more SHIT in the lift to trip over...
My buddy the ole master electrician I work with...
Were there images posted with this? I see nothing.
It's probably that ad blocker you have. You should get rid of that thing.
Stat, it's not you personally she was referring to. Over the last couple of years there's been a lot of "bad news" from quite a few people in the CS and some people (naturally) want to commiserate more than others and more often than others, some people get tired of it after a while. Nothing more, nothing less.HaHa. Nothing to do with respect, I'm just tired of being sad everytime I come here anymore. I've heard about Gracie's dogs like 10 times now, it's just enough.Everyone has expressed their sympathies about the doggie, can we move on now and not have to listen to Gracie go on and on about her pets that died too? It used to be kind of fun stopping by in the mornings. I, for one am so sorry about all the dogs and cats who died.
Please?
Oh, I dunno. Maybe just treating each other with respect in the CS could be a good idea.
No problem tho, I'll just leave if that's what you guys want this place to be.
Oh, I think that most of the time, the bulk of topics in the CS are pretty upbeat. And usually, there's a pretty good deal of humor here as well. And I don't see anyone asking or telling someone else to leave the CS.
But I have seen other USMB members go through some pretty bad things in the "real world" and mention them in the CS and as far as I can tell, most, if not absolutely everyone in the CS has been unbelievably supportive, time and time again. I think that's what makes the CS a special place and I would hope that we all want to keep it that way.
I am sorry if my travails of the last days brought you down personally. That was most definitely not my intent. Grief is one of the most powerful emotions out there and it has undoubtedly overwhelmed me in the last days.
To those who have shown so much empathy and concern over the last days, thank you all very much for the effort you have put in to communicate those thoughts here in the CS. Believe it or not, it is helpful,

No snow yet, a bit of slush Monday. It's been warm for this time of year, dropping to just around freezing at night and getting to the 40s during the day. The ground is frozen, but only on the surface. It will be amazing if this is the second year running we have no snow for Halloween.
How are things in your neck of the woods?
How was that anti religious? The point of it was to show how silly it is for people who don't believe in God yet get offended by the idea of God to call those who do believe irrational.The Coffee Shop is not the place to be tossing anti-religious darts, blackhawk. Take it someplace else. It's not welcomed here.

Checked my two trail cams this morning and these are the critters I found on it. Couple of nice bucks and a pair of coyotes.
I think Santa is gonna bring us one of those this year.
Along with deer, raccoons, foxes, armadillos, possums and that squirrel academy pictured earlier, we have a bobcat who comes to visit. We get glimpses of him but I'd really like to see what goes on at night in our side yards. Our front yard is lake and the back yard is lake but we have a lot of traffic in the side yards.
Big Black Dog Any suggestions as to what we want to get? Anyone?
I had a friend online that wondered what went on at night in her property too...so she bought some night goggles. She was amazed at what she saw just sitting on her porch.View attachment 33144 View attachment 33145 View attachment 33146

One well placed blast from a shotgun will take care of that.View attachment 33144 View attachment 33145 View attachment 33146

Speaking of armadillos, I have one nasty little creature that likes to visit often, and goes straight for my newly planted plants, and uproots them....I'd like to whop him on the head....
Looks like my SIL will be assigned to Ft Lewis, WA. My daughter told me that if there is any place she hates more than Ft Bragg, it's Ft Lewis. But, like a good wife, she's started looking at the real estate listings. Personally, I like WA far better than NC. The climate is cooler and more comfortable. Between Boeing and SeaTac airport, I should find a decent job. There are also community colleges in the area that offer aviation maintenance programs I could teach. It also means I have to drive half as far when I leave AK. I am not looking forward to dragging my home so far.
I've dug into my old movies and am enjoying "Taming of the Shrew". Dang it, why can't they make movies like this any more? There is something to be said for acting vs. special computer-generated effects. Another great favorite of mine is "A Lion in Winter". Damned, that was well played.

I know....but we're not allowed to shoot guns in our sub-division.....I could kill him with my bear hands, he makes me so mad sometimes....
I'm so jealous of some of you who live in the south. You guys have it goood.Eighty degrees? I wish. Temps are slowly dropping off around here. It's been in the 50s for the most part lately, and going to get colder this week. I'm sick and tired of winter, and I'm certainly not looking forward to it this year either. I'm thinking about southern part of Texas. Warm weather, no state income tax!! Woo-hoo!
That would be AWESOME!
Also, something that might be of concern to everyone who has National Grid is that they are raising prices by 37% this winter here in Massachusetts. Watch out for price increases this year from NG! I'm certainly going to have look at other alternatives for heating.
There are supposedly other utility companies (or maybe just one other). However, you NEVER hear of these companies, and I wonder how reliable they are.
