No Really. Stay Away!
Any questions? Need directions to get away?
But soberly. 864 events in the last week? It has been quiet for a long time. And for the record I drew those arcs. they don't really exist. I hope.
Well he says the blogs are my thing and he doesn't want to horn in. He tried to run a blog,.but it was too much work. (I told.him so.) Now he is digging out the m dirt for our future magnificent front Pathway.
Has Mr Dawg done the hedge? By the way the roofer gave a quote that was a couple thousand less than I expected. Hope the other stuff is reasonable too.
Yuge future consideration. You need a new roof. They say the roof will cost $10,000. The job will be $30,000. Why? $20k to remove the solar array. $10k for roof. $10k to reinstall the array. Wait. Why when the solar system only cost $20k to start? Because of breakage and liability.
I have a pole saw with a saw blade and cutter as well. Back is out of commission and won't be using it, besides the skid steer is more fun and fast. You should see how fast and fun it is to pop out small stray trees.
You see them on construction sites. Smaller the a bulldozer generally with with 4 wheels, some do have track drive. Very universal with attachments for almost anything. Hell of a toy to operate, scary fun when you push past the center of gravity and almost roll it. :)
Nice but no. I make most of my stuff to match my needs. A single grapple would be nice when I place the boulders. Funny the pic has a new Mustang and I have an old 940 which I push past the rating limits.
We just had Taco Bell. I cannot remember the last time. Near $5 per person. A burrito that might have had a few shreds of processed cheese product on the table as it was prepared and smaller than a dollar bill.
Expensive, small portions, I see the writing on the wall. YUM! Brands is a short.
Makes me think hard about all freestanding fast food.
Had one of the earliest Case skid steers at our Colorado ranch in the 80's. [Dad worked for Case at the time.] With the rims turned inside it was exactly 3' wide. Great for cleaning out stalls & runs (and yes, goofing around).
It is dark and gloomy out. The little bit of rain we got yesterday made the grass somewhat green and we may get more. Hub Is digging for pathway. I will go plant a few more Marigolds. And maybe a rose. I wish slate would back to what it was doing before.
This blog is a dozen years old. Believe it or not I already scanned that article and will be posting on it. Needless to say I've seen the exurban nation coming for a long time and have endured a lot of crap for being visionary. If Trump starts weaning the cities off operating subsidies expect the process to accelerate.
More Marigolds! The tortoise dug one up , which is on the "front porch" of the burrow. I replanted it. Too much temptation for a turtle. Gonna lant the lavender rose now, before it starts to rain. 80% chance. The are restoring the parthenon. I hang no objection to resetting the drums and blocks that are lying aron as rubble, but they are filling in too. The tv show way chock full of mistakes, trying to make mysteries out of well known stuff. There were several interesting things about how they made it earthquake proof. I think I object because they will result in a building which never did exist. Previous restorations made some things worse. We are prideful. The old Greeks were smarter than us.
Just waiting for a solid down day to buy some GE I think. Used the pole saw to double my view. Plants making up for years of drought stagnation. Machete time for the anise plants.
The disappointing burrito was a metaphor for the retail low end food sector. I can heat a good pizza for $6 that beats the $12 pick up. A half pound hamburger in pita bread with veggies and no salt and no sugar is $2 and half the calories and twice the meat and twice the flavor. The fast food joints are going to get squeezed by rents and minimum wage increases and taxes. Don't even get me started on oversaturation meeting the perfect storm of changing consumer tastes.
I'M already in an exurb. Plenty of houses on acreage. Swamp a few blogs away. A lady with horses. At the end of a dead end is NASA Land. Actually, I'd like to live near Cocoa Village, where there's lots of action.
New post. the NAR actually got something right. First I agree with Kruggles. now I agree with the National Association of Realtors®. Check the skies for giant meteor.

I have no idea what this is.
Events are earthquakes.
Last seven days. The bigger the square the higher the magnitude. Yellow = last week,, blue = last day, red = last hour.
Hub sez why arcs instead of straight lines?
Tell Hubs, Great circle, Mercator or tell him the truth that I made it up.
So you pulled.a Trump on us?
Such for lunch. Good.
Well, I admitted my deception and I have yet to be proven correct so I have little in common with Trump.
Duck.
Hub sez, well said!
Maybe hub could get an account... You guys could spend more QT together
Yeah. He can sneak in the clearances with old friends at orbital separation that owe him a favor and I can whip up a laugh vehilce.
I typed launch vehilce but left laugh vehilce untouched for the humor value.

The hedge is on hold in deference to the neighbor who died last week.
Errrr, vehicle.
My condolences. Was he a friend?
Did I say I planted more marigolds?
Trumpigolds are becoming awesomely unbelievably terrifically popular.
We heard thunder, but the sun came out. Tats. I watered the back as a rain dance too.
What's shaken? Another day at the Chemo lounge done.
No, worst nightmare neighbor imaginable not that I wished him ill.
Been goin' wild with the new pole saw. Opening yuge vistas. Can't wait to take it to the hedge.
I'm going to do a pole saw for my skid steer later this summer, Really go high with no latter.

Using a pole saw to turn a bull into a skid steer sounds a bit harsh.
Pole saw is a chain saw. :)
Pole saw is a chain saw with an eight foot handle. Leverage bay-bee.
But the Salesman said solar pays for it's self. Just change the roof shingles around the outside of the solar panels.
I have a pole saw with a saw blade and cutter as well. Back is out of commission and won't be using it, besides the skid steer is more fun and fast. You should see how fast and fun it is to pop out small stray trees.
Mrs Dawg is too smart to let me have a skid steer.
What is a skid steer?
It rained, a little bit.
Oh, it's a bulldozer.
You want your own bulldozer, hunh?
Where's Mike.
You see them on construction sites. Smaller the a bulldozer generally with with 4 wheels, some do have track drive. Very universal with attachments for almost anything. Hell of a toy to operate, scary fun when you push past the center of gravity and almost roll it. :)

Yikes!!! Pole saws and ladders nearly did me in
Admit Lobbist. You want that attachment!

Don't worry you will get a more consistent, better product when they get rid of employees.
Did you ask for a senior discount? Ducks and runs. :)
I hope you aren't right about the runs part.
This was a travesty of so called food or value or taste.
1965 the ice cream truck shows up.
2025 the self driving ice cream dispenser vehicle shows up.
I didn't even ask for Liz's special decamillionaire cheapskate discount.

Channeling Andy Rooney:
Have you ever noticed that the restaurants which offer senior discounts are not the ones where you would prefer to eat?
Eat at Tcao Bell. Only with a gun to my head...McDonald's has decent coffee and edible egg mcmuffins.
Good Morning.😀 wakies wakies East coast.

KP is on the HCN reddit blog.

Good Morning!
Getting back to normal 71F sunny!
Poorfolio sucks but Funds are doing great!
They. Have.
Googled it and there is a Calculated risk posTed with that title. And some others.
I am tempted to buy Home Depot. Always always busy. Not just mutual funds.
Saving here recovering the cash accounts from the wedding. :)
Just waiting for a solid down day to buy some GE I think. Used the pole saw to double my view. Plants making up for years of drought stagnation. Machete time for the anise plants.
You don't like the taste of sawdust in your burrito?
Even more of an ass now...
Mornin' y'all
Burrito? Don't ask what's in the sausage.
The disappointing burrito was a metaphor for the retail low end food sector. I can heat a good pizza for $6 that beats the $12 pick up.

Hey Cinco. Somebody was asking about KP on reddit. Recall his handle. Eynul something?
Vending Machines!

Self driving vending machines. Get a txt msg that the fresh bagel robot is in your neighborhood and cinnamon raisin is on sale today.
The taco boxes in the grocery store are ok. You add you own meat and lettuce and onions. Or beans.
I wish they would make whole wheat cinnamon raison.
Like I said, a bigger ass than ever...
Greasy fried taco shells from a box? :(
I don't find them greasy.
Warning to folks, do not click on I hate Donald Trump it's a virus.
Robert, is there a Topper's Pizza in your hood? If so, try the Carnitas Chiplote pizza - it's outstanding.

Glad to see that people are finally starting to figure this out.
I'M already in an exurb. Plenty of houses on acreage. Swamp a few blogs away. A lady with horses. At the end of a dead end is NASA Land. Actually, I'd like to live near Cocoa Village, where there's lots of action.
Hah blocks!!!
Dil is not in exurb but she's working from home for herformer employer in St Pete, Floridah.
Nebraska is great move on over. ;)
Too cold.
