No joke. I shoveled it into a wheelbarrow, moved it and spread it. It was taller than the side supports of the 6 foot truck bed. Also, I hand carried and spread about 40 gallons of water. I feel very accomplished and super tired. additionally I raked back the wood chips, put cardboard boxes down, covered them with compost and put the chips back on top. This is my method for keeping some weeds at bay in my little meadow I have going.

We just adopted this 11 week old, retriever mix puppy! His name is Scooby. He's been amazing so far. So smart and brave! https://photos.app.goo.gl/hXM2vp5vbfn4SyzFA

Since moving up north, we've been meaning to check out the local bicycle shops around town. We visited 4 places today and 1 yesterday. Bellingham has quite the biker community -- as one would expect with the college. Aside from 4 local ones none of you probably have never heard of, we did swing into Kona's bike store (the only one in America) and I looked at a bike. Basically all bikes for all stores are literally still about 6 months out -- as the Kona Sutra versions won't be available until late September -- providing I get my order in. There was another Frankenstein shop that creates bikes out of others and I may elect to buy a frame (or even use one of their used ones) and transport all my parts onto it. I do have a lot of nice components that I don't want to go to waste. And the other shops have a lot of in between including free pick and delivery for bike tuneups. Sure I could do this all on my own -- but I don't wanna. I'm trying to support the local economy and make some new acquaintances/friends, you know? Plus I'm lazy -- so bugger off. All in all it was a fun day. Got out, got to meet the community, got familiar with the bike outlets, and began putting a plan together to take full advantage of the wonderful biking area I just moved into -- all immediately available right outside my front door.

Definitely an owl in the hood..just spent time on YouTube listening to hoots..either a Barred or Great Horned...I am leaning Barred..but so far I have only heard it from my bed late at night or early morning!

They're not really pets, but I keep them fed

Gracie refused to get off the bed when I was trying to change the sheets...

I’m making beer. The crushed grains are mashing at 156f for 30 minutes (in the cooler). Also enjoying an Oatmeal Stout from the local brewery, Old Bust Head. The 200,000 btu burner heated 3 gallons water to 160f in 19 minutes.

I made stuffed flank steak for 9 people yesterday. It was major yummy!

Woke up , had coffee, went on a hike with one of the kids and my wife. I took pictures of dumb things we passed, she picked wild onions and foraged for other things like dew berries that are not even ripe yet.. I think we will be going back to the trail again in the next few weeks.

I know this doesn't count, but I shoveled a truckload of compost all by myself. Also, I was the watering lady with my buckets and watering can.

Every day is National Pet Day in this house.

And I like the peeps here better anyway.

Never! Aire, other than you, I would be the best loving home ever. No I cannot compete with your ruby encrusted bathroom tiled floors or your original Edward Hopper paintings but I can give an airedale a lot of love. Instead of rubies, I found stained glass can be very pretty and give the illusion Yes I drive a 1991 cabriolet but does that make me a horrible person? Wheels has a 2021 1/2 BMW convertible but does that make him a better candidate than me? I think not. The poor airedale would end up as part of a Boston terror network. Greenville is safe, friendly, and still normal. No Cuomos, no alcohol, and no cutting grass on Sundays. Please I beg, grant me this.

18.5 miles on the roadie. Chilly, but wanted to get out before the wind got crazy!

31 miles

Yes. The salmon has returned to Capistrano.

4/10/21. 62.5 miles today on the club ride

33 miles, warmy springy

Laundry is going..tea is done..overcast and cool

First homemade dough since before my surgery

We are set up for the day. With COVID, crating arrangements are crazy. We opted to crate from then van. Feels odd. Only Lindy gets to run today because the trial is limited to the higher level dogs.

It's been a year already?

I didn’t read the date initially. That was six years ago? How long does it take to install a waffle maker so you can get an Airedale?

He is, and always will be, "Ralph". Actually "Philander Seabury" is an anagram for "Ralph is due nearby".

Like a Toyota Highlander? Cool! Never thought of that! And you can all blame Effing Ray for the new moniker. Once I saw that name it had to be mine. And here on the Internet, we can do that! We don't even need a reason.

I see you even have a badge for wood.

4/10. 27.3 miles 4/11 17.5 miles

4/10/21 3.8 miles walking and jogging. 9225 steps.

I was suspended for just over a year and granted reinstatement last Sunday. It would have been swell had you missed me.

Both have their strong points but we prefer Cook Out.

With the other low lives in the parking lot of the San Souci Piggly Wiggly.

I don't think we, the unwashed masses, are supposed to know if and when it is used.

That's funny! Thanks. ☺️

40 miles, West Yellowstone to Gibbon Falls and back. 41-51 degrees, sunny, 5-35 mph winds

@Wilbur ? @Wilbur ? I saved your original avatar for your return.

Ben came over to borrow my pilot and trailer. He dropped off four female cousins and he took the twin buddies with him to move bikes and mowers. John made a run to Lowe’s and took Junior with him. I’m the only male in the house.

Those ads are not new lows, the real lows were the political ads. They should have banned all of them.
