    I guess it matched on Willy squinting, and the day being the 14th of the month. Ok, AI.

    McDonalds – some form of chicken sandwich, great tasting for 5 minutes, then hours of stomach gurgling. Yuck. And yuck.

    A neighbor has a couple of these that really put on an amazing show all summer. I’ve looked them up so many times that I know the breed. Just need to get to the garden center in the Spring!

    What am I doing? Modernizing a dinosaur truck that just clobbered a deer and is rusting out? Yep. And what an adventure. Installing a backup camera is a bit complex. You have to route the camera from the outside of the car, inside, which requires removal of all kinds of parts. In this process, I…

    Just needed a tiny bit of privacy I guess. Or, just sticking her face somewhere strange, as usual.

    I took this because a neighbor has these things growing in their garden, and they are awesome. Super tall, long lasting and apparently bugs aren’t eating them. After some digging, found they are awfully named Spider Flowers. Beyond the name though, nothing strange going on. In fact as I write this, on 9/29 (yeah I…

    It was a strange Summer for gardening. Few things survived, despite generally OK weather. Too many rodents, bugs and basketballs terminated many plants this year. Some new black-eyed susans survived the relentless onslaught – and this bee hit the jackpot.

    I like nature, but tree removal is always something that gives me joy. And I won’t lie, its probably the awesome machinery that is involved, more than anything else. While this was not my own tree removal, that same crane did great things here back in 2018 or so.

    She’s chasing that imaginary sunlight, or really into that little rainbow. Or is stuck. Who knows.. this is a funny dog no matter what.

    For a moment after the Explorer vs deer incident I thought, “I’ll get some darker style headlights for the Explorer, to make it look a little cooler.” I also assumed the body shop would take my aftermarket parts – and now am quite sure they would have laughed at me. Turns out these would not…

    Walks with these two always involves confict, generally on some form of wheeled device. This day was no different. Wonder who is impersonating Clint Eastwood in the scene.
