Hmmmmmm... Sounds suspicious.
How about I just bring some along from the local swimming hole. Minus the dog hair of course.
Edit; I see I have tops. Two things come out of this river, the best water, and the best salmon. I'll light the barbie.

Wouldn't worry about the dog hair, Brent. It will wash downstream anyway. Am concerned about the water temperature, though. There will likely be Americans on the BC roster who won't take kindly to mountain waters - unless they're in their beer.

Already packed.

I grew up at that swimming hole, it is just downstream from this lake where we would also swim and better yet play hockey till midnight when it froze over.
It's not that cold in the summer, however, a couple of my friends fell through the ice while playing hockey, it was a long walk home through the forest for them.

Mighty big of you, Mike. Not being a beer guy, I'll bring the Vernor's. We can watch what happens to the first-timers when they get an unexpected noseful of the fizz-off just above the rim of the glass!
Good afternoon, everyone. Black coffee for me, Chloe.
Didn't get much sleep last night, and we spent the morning cleaning up.
We had two rounds of storms come through last night, both with very heavy doses of hail. Lots of golf ball size (and larger) hail. (Several years ago we had baseball and softball sized hail. Glad we didn't have any of that.) By the time it was over at 2:00 a.m., there was so much hail it looked like a snow storm had hit.
Trees, windows, cars, house sidings, all damaged in the neighborhood. The insurance adjuster will be coming out to climb on the roof.
The worst? I walked by some fields this morning . The corn and soybean fields are completely flattened. Everyone will try to replant, but it is probably too late in the season to get much of a harvest in the fall. The insurance companies are going to be making some huge payouts.
Time for a nap. There will still be some time later today to continue layout work on a tunnel.
Those of you interested in muscle cars, this was pretty neat:

Hope everyone has a good day.

That is terrible John.
I hope your place is OK. I have never seen what hail does to crops. We very rarely get hail down here, and if we do, it is never bigger than jelly beans.

just dropping in to say hello.

Aches and pains are taking hold. Got to shake them off.
Try and call in later.
Stay Safe Everyone.

While my oldest is gone on her trip, my youngest wants to repaint her room. Yesterday evening was spent moving a bunch of stuff out of her room to her sister's room. Tonight will be spent touching up nail holes and such. Paint Friday or Saturday. I'll do all the cutting in, but I'm thinking she can do the rolling. Her first time painting. Could be interesting. She had some LED strip lights up around the top of the walls in her room. Multi color things that you can change the color, set to rotate, etc. Anybody successfully repurpose these for MRR use? I don't need color changing, but have to figure out if I can get a warm white color out of them without using the controller.
Storms last night supposed to bring the temps down for today. So far so good.
Later guys.

Good morning, everyone. Bacon, eggs, and black coffee, please, Flo.
As soon as I eat, I will head back outside for more clean-up work. I will have to make several trips to the dump with branches and debris. We were very fortunate -- many people had a lot more damage than we did from the storms.
It's interesting -- within hours of the storm, roofing company trucks appeared from everywhere. Last time this happened, I got two flat tires in a two week period. Our town is again warning us not to hire unknown roofing companies. There must be some fly-by-night companies at work.
Water Level RouteWhile my oldest is gone on her trip, my youngest wants to repaint her room.
The last time I repainted a daughter's room, it was my youngest. She wanted the walls purple, except one that had to be "green screen green". I was completely opposed, but my wife was on her side.
It actually looked pretty good when done, and the photography she did of herself in front of the "green screen" was simply amazing. We ended up spending a lot of time together working on photography.

That is an amazing truth. It is like they sprout from the ground.

Newfoundland snowplows by Jon R. Roma, on Flickr
On Thursday, May 26, 1988, I awoke at sea. The afternoon before, we'd boarded a VIA Rail RDC car in Truro, Nova Scotia for the port town of North Sydney on Nova Scotia's northern coast. At North Sydney, I walked the short distance from the train station to the dock, and boarded the Marine Atlantic ferry M. V. Caribou for the seven-hour overnight passage by sea through the Cabot Straits from North Sydney to Port-aux-Basques, Newfoundland.
This was the sight that greeted us after we stowed our bags at the motel, grabbed a bite to eat, and went out to explore. We're dockside at Corner Brook, and we see three snow plows representing TerraTransport and predecessor CN. Yes, that's a wooden car coupled to the plows.
Never far from the water:

CN narrow gauge (42-inch) mixed train #207 rounds the curve at Seal Cove, Newfoundland, on July 27, 1984. Trains 207 and 208 ran between St. John's and Argentia. Seal Cove was located on the main line about 20 rail miles west of St. John's on Conception Bay. The entire CN operation on Newfoundland was abandoned in the late 1980s.

Good evening everyone.
I have been busy all day putting the finishing touches on the 2022 edition of the Forum Users Yearbook. I should have it posted within the hour.
Hoping for some good sleep tonight... finally... maybe.
Sleep well but don't forget about the pet Mallard.

Thank you, TF
I just came across a sad story about a guy over Chisago County way living in his car with 47 CATS!
He had already given fourteen of them away. It would be so nice if the folks could get the help they need. We do what we can...
Great to know you and Judy, too. I'll bet we could sit for hours and enjoy a good chat over some favorite beverages. Good Company
Thanks again, Ed
Sleepless tonight. Just a carpenter that's up way too late on a Thursday
Thanks Ed
You are a good man in my book and would love to chat over a cold one on a hot day
I took some junk out to the dumpster. The guy out by my trailer was shuffling boxes and packing them into his car. Hope those weren't any of my boxes
Good Morning and Happy Friday diners! Zoe, can I get the two of everything breakfast with a large grape juice please? Thank you!
We have a new temporary semi-member of our household, starting two days ago. My daughter and wife found a baby blue jay that had fallen out of it's nest and try as they might, the parents couldn't get it back up where it belonged. Leaving it on the lawn would have meant certain death to the night prowlers that come around, so my daughter put it in a small box and brought it in. She feeds it crushed berries in the morning and evening and it sleeps in the box in our kitchen. During the day, the box gets placed outside on a shelf on the fence, not far from it's original nest. Its Blue Jay parents tend to it during the day bringing it various things to eat as birds do. Pretty neat dynamic going on to take care of this cute little thing!
Good morning
I remember that baby bird thing. Probably would have been easier left out on the lawn as a Lion's little midnight blue snack one night then prolonging the inevitable.
The girls seemed to bring one of those things home as an every other spring thing back then. Try how they made, I don't ever remember one of those things ever surviving.
I must admit I felt worse seeing one of those things being tried to be nursed back to health then that one time the Martin Nest was knocked down because it had to be.
There was just no peace in the backyard and it would have been easier if I had a Cat that knew how to climb eves back then
