Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

And mighty tasty.

Thought that I was the only one who knew that leghorn cockerels make great fryers.

Look like I missed some more words of wisdom .good afternoon pad riders [email protected] Happy belated birthday. Just a waiting on this and that .Today it's the refrigerator repair man. They never give a different time .Between 11 and 3 pm .I bet he don't show up till after 3 .Trying to get clear pool water. .You know as I watch the world events unfold . I am reminded of the Salem witch trials .And then I wonder when the book burnings will start.And then when will brain washing start to erase all traces of the civil war and slavery. And how is it right that black people are allowed thier statues of thier civil rights leaders. But we of the south aren't allowed to honor our freedom frighters.It was only by a massive influx of imagrants that our rebellion was put down.Less than 10% of americans owned slaves but we are all being blamed for it. And BY GOD IF WE CAN'T SULUTE OUR WAR HEROES THEN THERE SHOULD NOT BE A STATUE OF A SINGLE CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER. !!!!!!! THAT IS JUST UNAMERICAN.History teaches us of our forefathers mistakes .To destroy history destories knoldege.So the next time someone gets hurt or robbed,or needs help. I guess they can call a protester.JMO So did I say to much?

I agree.... especially about erasing history.

So STUPID!!!!!

Our heroes are heroes NOT because they were perfect, but because they did at least one thing that was good.

It is good for us to learn from our past!!!!

Making money is always good!

No stuck in a ditch stories to tell us?

Nope. And even kept all the shiny parts up (tho they got very dirty/muddy at times). I love how some up here get a bit "creative" about what defines a road. Went down an "unnamed road" yesterday that turned out to be a 10 mile long ATV trail thru the woods with the "house" I was looking for turning out to be a hunting shack. (of course). No way to turn around, gps or cell service (surprise). Let's just say a bit of praying involved until I reached the other end and came out on an actual gravel road.

Oh... polling question...

Of all of you folks....

1. Of all of the under 30 men folk that you see, what percentage have long hair

2. Is the long hair a) super groomed hipster, b) messy whatever hippy, c) viking something d) some odd something else I don't know about.

nope. No long hair up here. Only a few ponytails on some over the hill leftovers with their own happy weed crops growing back in the woods.

Morning Sour. And Good morning Pond Prevaricators....

Busy day today. so will be in and out.

So sorry I missed your birthday! Hope you accept my belated wishes. So glad to hear your relocation is moving along.

Leghorns are the most graceful/beautiful birds every created.

But I love my oh so ungraceful waddling Aussies!!!

My baby sis loves her.. . But that is one breed that I have never lusted after.

Oh! A breed lust list!!!

Everyone chime in!

Census work done and I survived with no major issues and only a few minor "war stories". Could have worked another couple days but where they wanted me to go next would definitely require a lot of driving to get there and a 4 wheel drive when I got there. We no longer own a 4x4 and the stress on the poor DH worrying about me just wasn't worth it. I was offered the opportunity to work the next phase, NRFU, beginning in August thru October, but I promised the DH this phase would be my last. I honestly don't mind actually. I really enjoy the work but in the north it really is a lot more physical (and risky) than folks many would realize and I'm just not as young and "fiesty" as I was the first time I did this and I was a little higher up the ranks in 2000 and 2010.
Now I can actually get busy on all the things that need to get done before that white stuff starts appearing again. We've had a new waterheater stored in the garage since my first census paycheck last March so that's first thing on the to-do list for tomorrow then AL knows all the other "between the snows" list things that have to get done outside.
