Eh?

Yup, switch tires twice a year. The snows will typically last four yrs so worth it. In the past I've bought extra rims so just had to change wheels, makes it easier.

Yep. Change them on YOUR schedule, no waiting. I now have 4 sets of summer tires on rims in the barn. Both DDs now have cars. Too many for arm powered wrench! Bought an air impact wrench and a decent torque wrench from Advance Auto around XMas. They were having a sale and I had rebate credit from buying winter wiper blades (I bet y'all down south don't know what those are either). The kids "gave" them to me for my birthday last Sat. Somehow it doesn't really work out since I bought them!

I found my passport that was issued when I was 15. @dsqard does not think I look the same. I think I look EXACTLY the same.

I'm sure you do SCG

I'm now waiting for my replacement official birth certificate. Or my deportation orders.

Glad you started early!! Did your "official" BC not have the required seal? I've had a passport since ~1985. Somehow have managed to have need of it often enough every "renewal" period. I'm quite certain I don't look the same now as I did when I got the first one.

I also now have an "enhanced license", only a few states issue them though. Useful for ground or water travel between US and Canada or Mexico. The first destination more likely than the last since the Canadian border is only 20 miles north. DW also got a Passport card when she renewed her passport. It can be used for air travel within the US.

So the truth comes out SGC, you are in reality, a Rusky sent to Maine to spy on Americans Via Backyard Chickens.The KGB is certain we are developing a new chemical weapon using rotten incubator eggs and communicating using a new code. She has been sent here to discover the true meaning behind the words Vent Gleet, Sour Crop and Oviduct prolapse and to secure a sample of the new chemical weapon. Run for the hills everyone!

Seriously, that is just pathetic. Illegal entries can come into the country, get the red carpet treatment, no questions asked but a citizen has to jump through hoops just to get their ID verified for a passport.

I'm going back outside. Got a bunch of strawberry plants moved. Today is a good back day...figures since I have an appointment to see the doc tomorrow...so I'm getting stuff done outside. Next project....rooster pen.

Two that I deshelled died overnight. The other two don't look good

dang!

I wonder if that flock isn't fed right!

I see snow if I go up to the Mountains. My Mom's place is at 4500ft. When the snot starts it is usually warm and gets colder as the storm moves in. The flakes go from big and wet to small dry and stingy.

I really like the big wet snow flakes.

If there is that much snot... just don't leave the house!

We've already been there done that Lol. Revolutionary war. Steganography.
Watching the Netflix series TURИ , Washington's spies. Pretty good series. They use all sorts of ways to pass secret codes. Some of them with hard boiled eggs, had to look up how they did it.

"Using a mixture of alum (a common household spice) and vinegar, the sender writes a message on the shell of a hard-boiled egg. On the outside, the egg looks unaltered; however, when the shell is peeled away, the message is exposed on the egg white. della Porta’s invention vaulted the humble egg from breakfast centerpiece to spycraft superfood."

He was Italian polymath and scientist back in the 1500s, during the Inquisition.
