okay back from taking the kid to SS office getting some nonsense they sent also went to the kitchen store looking at a new stand mixer.. I have a 30's vintage sunbeam mixmaster I have used ever since I was a kid it is bogging down starting to do any bread or cakes Was looking at kitchen aid 350.00 minimum the smaller ones are under powered..

Good buy, Penny.

I discovered something weird today. I have mouse traps set around the outside of the coop and today I discovered that I had caught a field sparrow. I've never had that happen before but the silly thing was definitely going after the bait. That in itself is weird because for bait I usually use thin wire and secure a dog kibble to the lever and then smear peanut butter on the kibble. The peanut butter was dried up and non existent but the bird was after the kibble.

I felt kinda sorta sad that it killed a sparrow but I would have felt worse if it had been a song bird.

we had a trap set up to catch a weasel this summer. We were using a chicken head as bait.

We captured a ROBIN!!!

It was a live trap.. so I released it. It flew off, so no worse for wear.

We occasionally experience a phenomenon know as Seneca Guns. Nobody is quite sure what it is; the military bases insist that they aren't flying supersonic or blowing things up. Evidently, there is some record of this occurring even before there were planes that could exceed the speed of sound. Sometimes you can feel as well as hear the boom, but seismographs don't usually record anything significant. Usually it sounds like the source of the sound is over the ocean, but not always.

Ufos!

I have been shopping all day, about 8 hours. Spent a lot of time looking around in Lowes and Home Depot. And TSC , Harbour Freight, Hobby Lobby and Walmart. I did find a couple gifts for hubby, he is really hard to buy for.
On the way home i saw a black cat and 2 possums. First possum i have seen, and 2 in one night separately. The things you see when you don't have your gun!

Thanks! Hubby buys everything on line but i like to look around. Got some spring bulbs, 75% off. A trellis and a push broom for the workshop cheap. Had a good time. Would have been better if i had a buddy to shop with.
