Was sitting on my back patio with the days first caffeine and a book (oddly enough, “The Origin of Species”) when I saw a small white feather wafting towards the ground from the 60 foot mesquite tree. I thought it was an odd tree for the doves to nest in, so I got up for a closer look. Turns out a hawk was roosting about 25-30 feet up, chowing on a dove. I played Marlin Perkins and got my wife to watch. Our presence threw him off his game and he dropped the carcass to the ground. Being a bold (and hungry) raptor, he followed it, stood guard, then gathered the fruits of his labors and decamped north, to quieter environs.

View from my deck in Colorado. The Air Force just finished their practice runs for tomorrow’s AFA graduations. Fighters, bombers and the odd Army chopper. The “sounds of freedom” on a sunny day.

Some fried trout at Bullwinkle’s in Yellowstone West. Most tasty. Scenic too.

Seems to have sold after a discount to $850. Good deal.

Most clever.

A trouble free transaction. Jordan was most responsive through the process, and the item is as described:10/10. JBCODD

According to Don Martin, it is a “left-handed veblefetzer”.

@jorjen you have a message.

Spent the summer remodeling our retirement house in Colorado. New paint, floors, molding, all plumbing fixtures and shut off valves, new windows, and a full demo and re-do of the kitchen. (The last two were contracted out) Before the countertops were installed in the kitchen, I put Billy Bones in a “Dead Space”. Playing the long game here. My wife put a note in the rib cage with our kids telephone numbers, so that whoever next remodels (after we’re gone…) can let the kids in on the joke.

Looks Shweeeeet. GLWS

Well, @oldtimer congrats to yer boys, the Rangers on their first championship. The Snakes had chances, but the Rangers outplayed them. I’ve got a cousin in Dallas who is a big supporter of the team, and I’ll bet he is pleased as well. I’m happy cause the local team is worth watching again. (And I got to go to a WORLD SERIES game two of my sons, one of whom bought the tickets)

Boys got pounded. Texas opened a can in the second and third inning. Mostly coasted til the eighth and ninth. Then things got exciting. Pasteboard airplanes filled the air! Prolly didn’t make network, but some made fair territory. All during pitching changes, or between innings. If ya noticed any odd cheers, it was because of one hitting the screen. Close, but no cigars. Somewhat more civil than snowballs in Buffalo or Philly, or batteries in NYC. These planes elicited the loudest cheers til the eighth inning. And it was the World Series. Like new K-horns to a fan. If they win, new Jubes.

Those Tungs don’t work cheap…
