I grew up dancing in my late teens taught dance at a Fred Astaire studio in
Seattle .... good morning everyone

yes..... that it is

My spouse can't understand why I think that area is so purty. I guess it is just what you are used to and where your heart is.

It is very pretty! There are a lot of nice places that are not Cold Alaskan places...

My sister sends out cookies at Christmas( not just to me). She puts them in a metal tin with lots of bubble wrap & wax paper on top, then puts that in a regular box with tons of pop corn.
Spends a fortune to pack & send, and then has only about 6 cookies inside. Good cookies BUT, just 6. For what she spends on shp. and packing stuff, it's ridiculous. She also complains how much it cost her. I always tell not to do it. Just give cookies out locally and skip the pkg.& postage. she really does like to complain

Cookies should always be sent in the dozens! And there should be a coupon for ice cream too....Silly relatives....

Wait... What? Don't forget I live under a rock. What am I missing?



You are SO funny!!!






That's super cute & the background is wicked-cool!

The US is supposed to move all of us to:

tarting January 22, all driver's licenses in California will sport a new look.

Most importantly for travelers, you will now be given the option when renewing to get a standard ID or one that is REAL ID compliant- which means that they can be used at airport security for the foreseeable future.

We have until October of 2020 to be compliant or we will not be able to use our State ID or Drivers license at airports

Alaska refuses to switch to the funky drivers liscenses... lots of reasons against: too much info on them... more expensive to make... sign of the devil... too much big brother interference ....

Whatever...

But that means that if you want to get on an airplane... you will need a passport.

So I dunno. I am against the fancy drivers license. ... but now I need a passport. So..... at least I don't have to always carry the passport with me... so maybe that is a win???

Too late to say good morning so I'll just say good afternoon everybody and I hope everyone is having a good start to the week.

Back pain is back to a tolerable level so I'm off and running. Should be getting the results to my RA testing the middle of the week. I hope they are negative but on the other hand I'd like to know what is causing the loss of function and nodules on my knuckles.

I had pulled three roosters from the bantam coop and put them in the bachelor pen, This morning they had let me know that they didn't appreciate the new neighbors and had beat up the three newcomers. I had to pull them and put them back in the main coop. One had an eye swelled shut....2nd bird with a black eye so to speak...the other two had lost a lot of feathers and just looked pathetic. Told DH that instead of using the new coop for the large roosters I'd better think about using it for the barnyard bantams because those boys are running on 100% testosterone right now and not being as warm and cuddly with one another as they were over the winter months. The 4 that are in charge are in one piece but the junior birds are just at it constantly.

I assured them I would give the loosers a proper funeral

Good news! My pumpkin and squash seeds are germinating and breaking soil.

More good news. DH built an arduino power regulator for my second brooder light. I'm going to post some pictures of it and detail it's construction costs were less than three dollars and took a minimal of construction.

But first, I'm off to town to buy feed, wood and pick up RXs.

and that is my worry. .. that the PO will refuse to ship chicks... and that will be it. no more shipped chicks.

That would put the hatcheries out of business for sure.

Does seem silly. Pack a LOT of cookies tight in the tin. If a couple of edges get broken, who cares? You aren't likely to shove the whole thing in your mouth so it will get broken before you eat it anyway.

Or maybe it gives her a reason to grouse, which I gather she likes to do.
