Good morning, OF. Pond? Where's the pond? Anyone up for a swim?

 

[cheepteach]

coffee yes--swim? NO

No swimming right now, was only 42 this morn, maybe later supposed to hit 70.

Tournament was fun. 25 boys on each team. 9 pitchers and 16 'position' players. Each pitcher pitched one inning, and other players played a minimum of 4 innings. We talked with the couple seated next to us, and amazingly they were the parents of the boy who will be our grandson's college roommate next year. It is truly a small world - that's why I always behave.

Don't get the dog food looking poison they just take and stash. Might kill them eventually but you'll find the stuff all over the place hidden.

I think I would half agree with that I'm still going to use Ramik but in MUCH smaller quantities. I never put any out other than in the lower part of the barn where the chickens are and where the rats dig into the coop. That was last summer.

This spring I found a few pieces up in the drive bay. Today I was moving stuff out of the dump cart which hasn't been moved since last summer. One of the things in there was one of those "umbrella" drying racks. There were a dozen pieces of Ramik up inside the pipe!

Thus, rather than continuing to put it out until it stops disappearing I will put out just a few once and see if the rat activity is still happening some days later. I had ASSUMED they were eating it all and coming back for more.

and amazingly they were the parents of the boy who will be our grandson's college roommate next year.

That is quite an amazing thing!!!!

Did you ask if they were vaccinated before you talked to their unmasked selves?

Sour I'm sure your good behavior was merely a happy accident

Speaking of a small world...

DH was nice to customers when he dealt with them (not his main job). One of them who remembered him always being nice and helpful is now his boss at another job, 15 years later.

What goes around, comes around.

I'm listening to a..crying pup. Have him in a kennel. Off and on all day. Have played with him, taken him out to go potty I can't remember how many times, I think he thinks his name is ..
Potty.... He's smart! I take him out and bring him in as soon as he's done..so he knows already that's why he's out there. Pretty handsome little dude.
