I’m off to my airport again. I will update later

I’m grounded till I get the starboard aileron repaired. Better safe than sorry. It was perfect yesterday but my inspection showed today that I might have hit something. Oh well. (Should I buy a back up aircraft?) I’m kidding. I don’t think any of you, would want me to be reckless. I’m talking with my mechanic right now

Taz’s funeral is going to be a small one here.... but update later

That should have been recorded.

Actually, I did a rather poor job recording it. I need more hands sometimes. Maybe I can look at it again and see if I even captured the events I described.

So glad you are waiting to fix it before going up.

Tragedy Strikes the Gardens at Fluffy Butt Acres

For years I have been cultivating Black Eyed Susans in one of our flower boxes around the backyard. You can see them here in this photo of Sansa.

I have them so they come back every year in significant numbers spread around the box on their own. This year they are just now starting to show the bugs of flowers. I love them and get excited when they start to bloom.

This morning before work, Mrs BY Bob and Phyllis decided to weed that box. I say the two of them because I know Mrs BY Bob got caught up in supplying bugs for Phyllis to eat.

Now there are weeds in ithe box, no doubt about it, as I have not yet gotten to that box this year. However, Mrs BY Bob targeted my Black Eyed Susan's as weeds. She pulled them all out.

Every last one.

All of them.

None were left.

Now there may be some hope. Mrs BY Bob is not a great weeder. She does not knock the dirt off the roots and she does not clean up after herself. So my Susans were in the pile on the patio with the other weeds.

Desperate to try and save something, I sorted them out, dug a hole, planted what I had, watered them, and even put a cage around them to give them support and hopefully give Mrs BY Bob pause before she pulls them out again.
Here they were at 9:00 am after I replanted them. The Susans are in the circle. That is lavender in the picture below them. The rest of the green is weeds.

Oh no! I really hope they pull through that ordeal.

I’m sitting here with Rocks-Ann in the house. I was playing (the Roxanne version by the band “police”) I don’t think that she appreciated it that much. She’s by far a not a prosti...,.,, ah never mind. My Rocks-Ann is a perfect angel!
