Thank you, Mark,Great story!
like I said it's a true story. . . That night/morning I was purely running on adrenaline, and laser focused on keeping the station PUMPING!

Me three.I dislike Christmas. It was different when I was raising a family....but when you are a single adult it can be painfully lonely. I do stuff for myself on Christmas. Some years I put up a tree...this year it was free from my logger friend, I bought myself a gift and I will probably take the tree down as I have decided to move furniture and change my living room around...I don't know about you but when a friend gives me a gift on Christmas, because I can't reciprocate, it makes me uncomfortable. I really would rather they don't. I'm not bored and generally not depressed, I would just rather it didn't happen...
here's my last Dale Earnhardt Christmas tree...View attachment 337858
Good morning/afternoon all,
It was a bright morning but now the clouds have moved in again and there's some rain on the way for the weekend.
Tree is up but my trusty lights aren't working so there must be a bulb out which is affecting the circuit, so need to find that - which is a nuisance.
I was intending to drop off some gifts this morning but my nephew turned up and wanted me to a lateral flow test for him, and then my sister arrived, so I haven't made it out of the door yet. Never mind there's a couple of days yet.
I hope you are all having a pleasant Wednesday.
TTFN
Better listen and be extra careful. I know it’s frustrating but you’ll reap the rewards with the all healed super hip later ?Happy Wednesday all. A mild sunny morning. My new hip is feeling good, still need to use a walker to get about (and be safe). Dr said I need to take it easy for 3 months - all bets off if I accidentally fall doing something goofy. Luckily, I can get out to feed the birds, and go down into the basement and work on my lathe. ?
AMEN! And you can keep plugging in String after string without overloading!LED's are the way to go! Lil pricey, but they stay kool, last forever and if one DOES go out the rest stay lit.View attachment 337896

Yes, cuddle with it and spend a lotta time socializing with it. I apparently did not spend enough time with my Ethyl and Cletus, as they are NOT really into socializing with me, except for food.Good morning! The mystery egg has hatched and it appears to be a goose. We are naming it Treasure.. I will upload some pics once it becomes cute and fluffy.. it’s still all yucky right now and wobbly ?. I won’t put this one in the outdoor brooder because it’s all alone..it’s going in a big box with heat lamp right here in the house.. I’m forseeing a very spoiled and socialized bird in my future!

I donʻt even put up a tree. My husband says "Itʻs just another day" and my son wonʻt help me decorate, he says itʻs pointless because they get taken down later. Christmas presents - if wrapped are on the dining room table. Some of them are just in an Amazon box thrust at me. At least Maggie gets to put up a Dale Earnhardt tree.I dislike Christmas.

I'm in the process of Canning 12 - 1/2 Pints of Pineapple Guava Jam. 2021's Harvest
OMG! I LOVE ??it!This was the present to myself. Not as classy as suede knee boots!
I made 24 - 1/2 pints of Plum Jam in July. I had 12+ pound's of Plums off of my Tree.Very nice. We made two loaves of Persimmon Bread today. Used up a few of our very ripest fruit. Still leaves us with a ton….might have to clean them & freeze.
