On the bright side of things the first birds to the feeders are always Cardinals, it's to dark to get pictures of them. 5 pair each staying close to their mate or parent if it's a juvenile.

Cool. Cardinals! First sign of spring that they're around here is cardinals, but that would be late February for me. I guess they're around in the winter in some places but I hear their call and see them use our yard, only later in the year. Just hope to make it to spring and be done with the rough of this project I've been working on for almost two years now. Hope so. I need a cheery cardinal call to cheer me on. go red birds1 

cheers,

Davie

@Willow I'm surprised anybody does license plate theft anymore... unless the person who took it has the same model of vehicle as yours, they'll get stopped as soon as an officer runs their plates and finds they don't match the vehicle.  But if you are worried about it happening again, there are theft-resistant security screws or bolts you can get.  My husband uses bolts with five-sided heads on some things, especially electrical boxes.  Most bolt heads are six-sided, and the socket for a five-sided bolt is special order and really expensive.

Hi, found the screws I was looking for. They are torx head with pin in the center.  They require a special driver to install or remove and the heads angled are such that pliers or vice grips won’t hold hold the head.  
 

@awkward-yet-sweet I may be naive but I don’t figure whoever took the plate thought beyond needing a plate for a stolen vehicle or one from south of the border and no I don’t mean the tourist trap on I95 at the north/South Carolina border by the same name.  I’ve had problems with the construction workers before.

Those torx screws should do the trick.  Yeah, bits for those are available at Lowes or Harbor Freight, but it should at least deter casual thieves.  For whatever reason, most thieves don't seem to be very inventive.

 

Sad you've been having trouble with construction workers.  Unfortunately, it kind of adds to the incorrect stereotype of "illegal immigrant criminals."  Do you know who supervises them?  Surely they have a foreman or a project manager you could talk with?

We have one male cardinal that is over-wintering here.  It is the first time I've seen one in this area.  They are common down in the valley, but I'd never seen one on the mountain before.  So neat to have that splash of colour on a winter day!

Good morning Davie, my favorite Cardinals carry bats. Pitchers and catchers will be reporting for Spring Training soon.

Good morning everyone, 

 

In our home we have a coffee service area, with her coffee grinder, and pot. She drinks decaf. Then I have a pot for stronger coffee. These two pots are separated by a KEURIG* for those times when you don’t want a full pot, or maybe prefer a tea. When I wake up, I start to full pot brewing, and because I’m inpatient, I get my first cup from the KEURIG*. 
 

Hot, black, and strong Folgers Black Silk.

Good Saturday morning 

 

Well at least it’s sunny.  I had to pry my eyes open.  Our dog decided I needed to be awake around 2am and crept up and started nosing me for attention.  I got her to just lay beside me but she wanted more attention.  Maybe she had a doggy nightmare.  she was fine if I was petting her but if I stopped she wanted more.
 

@Mmindy that’s one heck of a coffee bar!  But then I’m guessing you have a good old fashioned Farmhouse.  I sure wouldn’t have room for it.  But it’s really nice!

 

i need to get some tools out of my storage unit and put somethings away.  

 

Well, I suppose I need to get moving.

 

hugs

My cat does this.  She is very persistent.

She will bat my nose.  If I cover up more she won't go away.  She always wins.

@Mmindy I thought the Keurig machine was amazing when I first saw one.  But my family is old-fashioned, and when I was going to get one I was firmly denied the counter space in both our main kitchen and the downstairs kitchenette 😔

 

GF has a couple of huge Russian samovars....one for use inside which is electric, and an outdoor one that uses charcoal. Russian tea is different than how tea is made in the USA.  There's a very concentrated tea called "zavarka" which is then diluted with hot water.  It seems overly complicated to me, but I have gotten used to it.   

 

Breakfast this morning was tea, a plain boiled egg, and a bowl of kasha (buckwheat pepared similar to oatmeal or grits). Simple and not particularly tasty, but at least there's plenty of it.

Well, I think your KEURIG* should have equal space in one of the kitchens.

As for the Zavarka? I would give it a fair chance to develop a taste for it.

 

@Willow we live in a ranch style house in a middle class neighborhood. When we built the house, I wanted the largest one story home, that would fit on the smallest lot. We knew it would be our forever home, and didn't want to climb stairs, or mow a hug yard. Suzie has decorating priorities in the house, and I can do anything I want in the 2 car garage. The only gas engines in the space I affectionately call my shop, are a Harley (year round) Spring and Summer the lawn mower, Winter the snow blower. Other than that it's a small metal fabrication/assembly area, a 36" wood lathe, bench top band saw, and full size drill press. I also have a table saw with out feed table, along side that is a combination swing arm chop saw.

 

I'm set,

@mmindy. You sure do have a nice shop.  I had a Delta 14” bandsaw, table saw, jig saw, wood lathe, drill press all Delta cast iron except the table saw that was Sears. Lots of hand tools power and hand.  Thickness planner.  Woodworking was my hobby.  I made our entire bedroom set out of maple.  I made my daughter a memory chest for our youngest granddaughter after she died of cancer, all cherry plus some hand carving, and many more things over the years.  I get it!  Each has his priorities.  
 

my son now has all those now.

 

yes my wife gets indoor decorating.  Our coffee maker is Keurig but it’s a combination machine.  Make a cup, make a pot.  It shares counter space with a hot water pot.

Things going good for me.Went to court on Thursday,I have full guardianship of the 14 year old girl I took in.Judge was impressed  with everything.It was good for us and my family told her welcome to the family.I had to testify in court on Tueday,the man that sexually assaulted me was charged with one count of sexual assault and a hate crime last week.I was brave testifying.He faces 35 years,his attorney tried plea deal again and the prosecutor said no.I am glad the prosecutor is being good to me.He is facing 35 years now due to a couple more on his long arrest record,Rape and domestic violence conviction he did to an ex wife of his.

@Mmindy Well, the discussion about the Keurig was a long time ago.  It wasn't THAT important, so I let it go since I'm rather spoiled in other ways.  I'm used to the Russian tea, since I lived with my GF before we joined our husband's family.  Not my favorite, but its ok.  When I moved in with GF years ago, I knew I was going to be eating a lot of Russian food for the rest of my life.... not to mention dealing with her dominant nature.  

 

@heatherd You have definitely had a lot going on simultaneously.  I don't think I could handle two major legal issues at once.  I can only imagine the stress.  Hopefully everything will turn out well.

Good morning campers, oops I mean coffee klach 

 

Cold today, rain, heavy rain, tonight and tomorrow morning.  Speaking of which, I got the Ford back up and running. One problem at a time.  Next I need to fix the fuel vent hose.  It is not connected so the computer thinks the filler cap is missing.  It isn’t easy to get to or I would have fixed it a long time ago. I’m hoping the fixing that will also clear two related codes having to do with the vapor canister.  Talk about something hard to get to.  It sat so long the battery was too weak to start it.  It has a relatively new Duracell and a new alternator so once I jumped it it charged quickly.  It also needs an oil change.  The computer is demanding 3 months or 3000 but I’ve been using synthetic so I tend to ignore that.  Guess I’ll just go back to regular oil. And let the computer have its way.  Biggest problem is the stupid roof.  The glass leaks and water gets into the car.  Now it’s in the drivers side B piller.  Pulled out the drivers seatbelt and it was wet. I’ll probably just tape it temporarily.  My wife likes to be able to open the roof but I hate them because they always seem to fail.

 

oh well Gorilla tape I’m a coming to get you.

 

@KymmieL what kind of stuff do you sell for this?

 

Coffee is done time to move on.  Have a safe and happy Sunday.

Good evening 

 

well, Eagles won in a blow out.  Bengals just tied it up.  I not really caring who wins. At this point I won’t have a favorite team in the superbowl either. 
 

@Mmindy a number of the tools I have/had were hand me downs. Delta stationary tools were my fathers.  A lot of the hand tools were my grandfather’s.  Now one thing I had for a lot of years was a John Barnes metal lathe that had been my grandfather’s.  He bought it new.  It was an 1885 vintage.  I was to make it unusable when I was done with it.  I turned it into a display piece and gave that to a machinist who was starting his own business.  The head bearing was worn out.  The feed screw was worn out.  And the hand tools are a three generation mix.  (Grandfather was born in 1866.  Father in 1893.

 

nice patio.  But I don’t miss the snow.

@Willow It sounds like you have a large shop and a lot of tools.  The antique ones must be really interesting!  We have two shops here...my GF's and my husband's.  IDK why GF insists on having her own, but she's got a huge lathe in there.  She makes cannon barrels from massive round bar stock....one of her many odd hobbies.  I like to watch her work, because there's something mesmerizing about watching the metal shavings come off it.  But I can't stay.  She scolds me and chases me out. 🙄

I could solve that problem.

 

Can't even check the roads as the web site is down. I think it got overloaded.  Just about everywhere you look is a semi. Had a huge 44 Semi pileup about 50 miles west of us. Must have been some idiot what stopped with the road closures Sat AM just hauled a$$ when the road opened. And caused it. 1 fatality.

 

Been snowing all day. about 6-8" so far. Our middle son and his older 2 came this weekend. They are staying until tomorrow morning. Its been great having him around.

 

@heatherd It is fantastic what you are doing for your new family member.  She is so lucky to have someone like you to care enough to do this for her.  You have my utmost respect, my dear.

 

Willow, I would recommend the gorilla tape. For temp repairs.  What year is your Explorer? With the center info and Sunroof I will guess it is an Eddie or a Limited? Does your sunroof close, even and tight?  Ours/our youngest's is down in Ft Collins getting the transmission fixed.

 

Hugs

As a Chiefs fan since they moved to Kansas City from Dallas in 1962 and an Andy Reid fan, I've gotta say that this was the Superbowl matchup that I wanted to see. It's going to be loud here though since I live less than a mile from the stadium. I may go visit my daughter in Sierra Vista to escape the noise; and maybe rub it in a bit to my son in law who is from Cincinnati...

 

willow, I get what you mean about generational tools. I have my grandfather's block plane and a bunch of my father's including a very old, but still working Craftsman drill that dates from the 1950s. There's something special about them. They will all go to my oldest daughter who will in turn pass them on to my grandson. I don't know about you, but when I use them, I can almost feel my father and grandfather standing there beside me as I build with th4m.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."    
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.
