The Old Folks Home

[Pozees]

Day before yesterday, my 2001 Toyota RAV4's transmission crapped out as I was attempting to leave The Pub. No reverse. I was going to go just up the road for a weekly Scrabble game fest at the home of HHandbasket and Farmer_Lew. The Pub is in a cell phone "black hole" so I had to go back inside to call them. FL came to get me; then took me home later. Th next morning they came to get me, go back to my car, the push it back out of the parking spot so I could put it in drive and limp it home.

Today, John the Contractor picked me up early to take me in to Placerville to look for a suitable used car I could afford. Nothing. We ate breakfast at Mel's, looking through the Mountain Democrat and the Sacrmento Bee classified ads.

I am now driving a Quest, purchased in Sacramento.

It will be a while before I can afford to put anything other than a simple gate across the driveway at the new property. Heck, I may just continue to use to chain for a good long while....

Ugh, bummer. The chain and reflectors work just fine, honestly there's a certain charm to its simplicity - it's very country. We see them all over the place here - and usually no reflectors

OK, I need this story. Did you swallow the stinkbug to swallow the fly? You calling Wisher an old lady?

And if anyone has slugs, get ducks. No more slugs. We used to have slugs here the size of horses. The giant yellow kind. You could ride them. Three very happy free range ducks later and... I rarely see a slug.
Did it look like this at your house before the ducks?

It looked similar, DiDi. I used to go out every night with gloves on and collect slugs. I'd get a pail of them then dump some salt on them. I realize that was cruel, but we had a serious infestation here.

Then I read on BYC that I didn't have a slug problem, I had a duck deficiency, and now...

Minimal slugs. Happy ducks.



Edited to add I've got my apple pancakes in the oven now, you guys can keep your seaweed breakfast.
