Good Morning!!
It's going to be another beautiful soccer day! We are tied for 1st and will most likely move on to the next round next weekend! I'm so proud of my daughter and their team. They beat two of the top teams of San Diego. Sorry for bragging.

My coffee is tasting so good right now! Hope everyone enjoys their day! I think it's going to be around 80 again today!

Hi all!

 

[AZtortMom]

Hi all!

Hi there

 

[tortdad]

It's supposed to be sunny and hit 70 today so I'm going to force Hal out of his house again. Yesterday I decided the 850 square foot pen I had for him was too small so I opened up my entire back yard to him..... Minus the space set aside for reds and boxies.

I forced him out yesterday and he eat for a long while. I'm hoping he eats a bunch more today.

I sure wish we here in the Central Valley of Calif. could get some of that sunshine. It's another foggy day here. The clouds settle down in between the two mountain ranges and just sits there. Doesn't matter to my tortoises though. They still come out and graze to their heart's content.

It's been weeks of cold fog and rain so I'll take this any day.

It's hard to believe that just a 5 hour drive south of me I could be in warm, sunny 80F degrees. It's hard for me to get motivated to finish up Dudley's shed when it's so wet and cold out there. There's not much left to do, but the hardest part is getting up out of my chair!

I know the filling Yvonne . I have been working on Sally and Harry' s much larger enclosure but the cold and rain is killing me .

 

[Yvonne G]

aw...'when harry met sally'

I suppose you get used to it if you HAVE to go out and work in it. But see? I don't really HAVE to. So I can't force myself.

My daughter brought me over three big boxes of lettuce and spinach from the school. Thank goodness for Mazuri, because this is getting to be a weekly thing with her. I don't usually feed spinach or lettuce, so giving them all this every Friday doesn't sit right with me. But I can't see wasting it either. So I put down a big bed of spinach and lettuce (it's those packages that contain the shredded iceburg plus purple stuff and grated carrots), then I put a bunch of moistened Mazuri on top of the whole thing.

Ok, Mike...it's time for both of us to get busy. Oh, I know...I know...it being sunday and all, but that's no excuse. let's go!

I am having a hard time getting motivated today too. It was supposed to be 60° today but they were wrong.The forecast says it will burn off but there is no sun or even light sky anywhere in sight :-(

 

[Yvonne G]

Most of the jobs I have around here I have to do by myself. So I try to make it easy on myself.

I'm a wood hoarder. I take in any unwanted wood, whether scrap lumber or old trees and bushes. In order to fit this stuff inside my wood stove, I have to cut it. So to make my wood cutting job easier I made myself a sawbuck:



You can see that I notched the 4x4's to fit the legs into them. This one was made about 15 years ago, and it getting pretty loose and the wood is rotting. It was time for a new one:



I didn't take too many pains with this one. Made it a bit taller and just screwed together 2x4's. It works.

I still have to put my foot up there on the log I'm cutting to hold it still, but it makes the job a whole lot easier.

Basic question here, “Are nose hairs like grey hairs? For every one you pull, ten more grow in its place?" If so, I'll be able to shave my mustache soon!

ewwww

 

[Yvonne G]

I don't know, because pulling nose hairs makes me sneeze, so I don't do it.

 

[tortdad]

Health wise she's a wreck
Cancer
Copd
Congestive heart failure

Had a heart attack a few months back and 3 stints put in and has been battling bronchitis for 3-1/2 weeks. (That's where I caught it from)

I moved her here 2 years ago so I could look after her.
