Are YOU a Tootle Puffer??

!0 clicks when it's off gives you a temp reading.

Lol - nice to know! Cool! So is that the temp of the mod or room temperature? - because now it's reading 25C

Plenty of turkeys around here, both the feathered and UN-feathered varieties

mod temp. It heats up as you use it. I haven't tested accuracy and don't know of anyone who has, but it may be a good reference for overheating problems.

Hi everyone. I just read the description of a tootle puffer and realize that's exactly what I am. So hi to all my fellow tootle puffers!

Being a farmer at heart, I can't say I'd want to live there full time (maybe when I'm old and retired), but oh, my, I'd LOVE to visit! That water is calling to me.

Oh we do have farmers here but the fields are each about the size of a handkerchief. Every time they are inherited the land is split and the fields get smaller and smaller. But yes - the sea is amazing.... it calls me too and very often I answer.

Welcome to our tootling madness.

Around here it looks like this!


That's not really fair, there are quite a few rolling hills and trees, especially right around our place, but this is not too far from us. Just one of those desolate, lonely roads that you wouldn't want to run out of gas on. It'd be a looong walk home.

I drove most of the way cross-country and back; South Dakota eastbound was like a 200-mile 7% grade. Felt like I could tie down the steering wheel, pop into neutral and just take a nap until I rolled into Minnesota!

Welcome to our tootling madness.

Thanks! It's so nice to have a place that I belong.

Ahh back to the horse with no name thing... That pic looked kind like the sargrasso sea. That is a boat wake up thru there isn't it?

I'd go out and take a pic of my street but between the Mosquitos and the cicada (which I think are even louder today) I'm stuck inside.

According to radar it is raining right now there.

 

[Boden]

It's doing that lovely alternating between rain and full sun here. Blech!

We have the kind that only come out of the ground every 17 years. Noisy jokers.

They are louder today

I found one that hadn't matured. Made it a stick to climb on.

We have several different kinds. I think this year is the 5 year cycle kind.

I got mine from street view on google maps.

Those are my cat's "buzzy toys". She dearly loves them, because they play back!

Alright, I'm going outside. If I don't come back soon call the blood bank.

Some get over 100 decibels. You can hear the ones here from 50 yds away driving by with your windows rolled up.

Around here it looks like this!

1/2 hour to the West of me.

1 hour to the South of me.

4 hours to the East of me.

We have had much sadness down here too.
