COLD DARK ROOM

Please don't tell me you use a Smart fone to take your fantastic photos. This one is especially beautiful

Yea but schmart phones do as good as an ipad. The camera is my favorite app on one. I do like to store my photos on a SD card.

I went plant shopping for the complex. As I am doing the landscaping for them.

That's the problem when you have good ideas. Everyone wants it. I always say I'll show you how... to do it yourself ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You should use Trex.

?

Good evening all. I had my regular shift at the rescue today. I was training a new volunteer on his first day which was nice

We had this gorgeous European Common Buzzard in. It’s one of the UK’s mid-size birds or prey, probably the biggest that we see regularly round where I live. The wingspan is similar to that of an Osprey.

They’re very patient birds and will sit for hours on a fence post waiting for a careless rabbit or pheasant to wander past. They’re often seen soaring on thermals as the day gets warmer. They’re usually alone except in breeding season.

What a beauty!

What a beauty!

wow, I thought it was an Owl

 

[Ray--Opo]

Perceived as rude???????? LOL

Yeah you're right. They are just plain rude.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Please don’t take offence Ray, but I prefer to see the wildlife alive rather than dead in the CDR.

I am sorry. I will be more sensitive. The tortoise forum probably isn't a good place for a brag board.

Trex is even more expensive & fake ? the hardest part of this project is removing the old decking planks. 16 ft lengths nailed into framing means cutting and lifting 16-24 old zinc nails. Kills my back!

ogh. I only see Tresx here in gray, and the rest of our deck is redwood type stain. ?

One of the other problems with trex is if you use the darker colors like brown. It gets real hot in the sun. I was using brown on a deck. I was wearing jeans and ended up with blisters on my knees from the heat. I couldn't imagine walking barefoot on it.
I never asked the customer if they had a problem.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Wow. Seems early - still in velvet.

Yes bow season opens Oct 1st. It will be a unusual mount with the velvet still intact.

Hehehe and which little one is still around and that's not a question.?

 

[Chefdenoel10]

I still have bumble bees but haven't seen a honey bee for several years.?

They might have moved to NJ .
I have some living in my window (around the window under the siding)
I wanted to wait for honey...
But I lost that fight.. ??‍♀️

 

[Chefdenoel10]

Busy today. We have a 15 ft by 20 ft wooden deck that we are going to now replace the decking. In Spring, before the grape vines grew, we replaced all the hand rails, steps, etc & stained. Now, it’s the decking. Hardest part is lifting up & removing the current planking. Old zinc nails don’t pull out easily.

Of course, wifey loves it when I use our kitchen island to lay out the cut pieces ....

I've played put put and failed miserably. I hated watching it on Sundays too as a child. Boring...I always thought I hated golf. Until I was watching over an elderly lady that played golf in her younger years. She enjoyed watching the Sunday games on TV so I shared that time with her. To my surprise, I found myself standing and cheering like I was at a football game. How do the fans stay so quiet????

Beer?
