Sitting down, facing forward.
I have a neighbor who feeds his cats outside, leaving food in bowls on the front and side porches. Then he complains about the raccoons that come out of the woods, right behind his house, and eat that food. He's even gone so far as to buy humane traps, trap them, then release them out near Fort Dix. Wonder how long it takes them to cover the five miles or so to get back to his little diner?

Good Morning all, I just got back from taking my middle middle Daughter to the Doctors to get antibiotics for her wisdom teeth which seem to be on their way to be impacted. As with all my Girls she waited until 3am to wake me up to tell me of her pain. I gave her some of my stash of pain killers and took her to the family Dr. first thing this morning. It was a rough trip for Dad as he was at a Birthday party for one of our Dancers until 2am, God my head hurts! Don't know what I missed but later I will read what you good folks have been up too. Awsum, glad to have you back, I think we were all concerned. Raynes, my new friend, I hope all is going your way today. Top of the morning to all of you, I think I need a nap!

I was defining those terms to sperate them from their other meanings, in slang (as if you didn't know LOL)

I don't consider a little physical activity, like doing a little trim work or painting to be manual labor. It's more like an exercise in me mastering the materials and making them do what I want them to do. There is a big advantage to that, paint and trim can't talk back. Now last week I did do some manual labor, on the wrong end of an idiot stick, shovel to most people. But that was by choice for my own purposes. The original owners of our house decided that if they wanted some extra soil for flower beds or whatever it was fine to just dig a hole in the back yard, here and there, rather than order some topsoil. We've been mulching since we moved in and the three year old stuff was just right for fill, about 3 cubic yards of it. That did cause the appearance of water on various areas of my body even with temps in the upper 40s. Can't say I liked it much either.

There you go using that W word. I will check the rules again and if it's not an unacceptable term I will lobby to get it removed. Dammit Man be careful with those kind of activities, you know they can be fatal...

Something I learned early on once we got the house built. I you feed one critter outside you will end up feeding all the critters from a 10 mile radius, I think they go get all their friends and come back.

I just feed the birds mostly. Since I don't do any gardening (yet), I've no need of a compost bin. Living in the woods with no visible neighbors, we have found that there are many creatures that will take advantage of scraps thrown "off'n the bluff". Any food waste that we have is pitched off the deck into the woods at night. That is followed by a loud verbal call "Here GDU's!!" GDU's = Garbage Disposal Units. They know that is their dinner bell.

By the way, the reason that Scrappy was raiding one of my bird feeders in broad daylight is because she's mighty smart. She figured out that I was bringing in the feeders every night to avoid having them emptied by her. So - she started raiding in the daytime instead. We finally had to rig the deck posts with metal plates to deliver an extremely mild shock to anything large enough to touch two plates at one time. That solved the problem.

There you go putting words in my mouth. I said I could do one or the other but not both at the same time. I also said I would try not that I would. So I tried and I failed, hey change doesn't happen overnight so shoot me and it doesn't help when people keep baiting me either. Everyone should know by now I lack impulse control. So don't poke the Biker with a stick and everything will remain calm. :p

Well then, I guess "You" are trying to tell "Us" . . .

It's very easy and Wizard Labs sell the crystals cheap. you just add about 1/2 gram to your 30ml bottle and shake it until the crystals dissolve. If it's not enough add a little more. I think I paid 3 or 4 dollars for a 15 gram bottle and you can't beat the flavor if you like menthol.


AND - Just to add to this - all I will say is 2 things "Menthol" Crystal Liquid 1-2 drops per cartomizer (and dont go overboard or you just might find yourself on the floor - Just sayin' . . . ;) ) and what is starting to be "My" saving grace - "KOLADA" . . . :D

Just have to put up a couple of pics of Lexi. I can't help it. She's adorable (to me).

The first is with my son's gal, Britt. Note that they are about the same size.

The second is self-explanatory. If there were motion, you would see jowls flapping in the breeze. She was in heaven.

I just mixed up a months worth of base, 25ml of my favorite version of RY4 and 10ml of an "experiment" that I like. My wife walked in and saw the syringes, PG, VG, nicotine and flavors spread all over, the desk light on, me concentrating on making sure of my measurements and said "You look like a junky". Threw sunshine all over my efforts.

I love the second picture of the rear view mirror. We have a saying that only Bikers and Dogs understand the wonderful feeling of having the wind in your face. So I shamelessly stole it for my website. :D

Try doing that in a room full of Bikers and you get a totally different response, that's all I'm saying :rules:

My family now calls anything I do relating to vaping " look she's doing her chemistry again"

Talk about distractions, I'd be afraid of ending up with just a tad too much nicotine!

I call it my "Mad Scientist" moments, I just have to get a Tesla coil and a Jacobs ladder going in the background. Oh yeah, a pair of round goggles with yellow or blue lens, too. Then, some pipe organ music and Vincent Price reading Edgar Allen Poe.

Uncle, you got way too much time on your hands. Nice graphics but maybe you could use a Hobby???

IF You Only Knew (like "Rave" does) - I DO Have a GREAT HOBBY . . . :D

Just Can't Tell Ya What It Is - Since "You" Might Stop Posting . . . ;)

Oh BTW: You ever see "My" other post, especially The Welcome Post to Everyone . . . :thumb:

Just sayin' ;)

On a serious note, today the community held a street fair for any group that offers help to our Nations Heroes, our Veterans both past and present. As I have said in the past our Club only does two benefits a year both in support of the Wounded Warrior Project so today makes three for this year. This post may well be in violation of the rules so after some thought I decided it's importance out weighs not only the rules but if I get the boot so be it. With the Holiday Season rapidly approaching we took a vote today to donate our entire slush fund that is generally used for parties and such to the Christmas Fund for the Children of our Warriors who were either KIA, MIA or wounded beyond hope of ever being able to provide for their families again. The check was not near as much that is needed to try to help all the Kids locally to have presents to open on the 25th but we gave every dime we had, $10,475.00. We all also decided to each adopt one family to buy gifts for (just the Kids) and this will come out of each of our pockets. My Girls have even offered their gifts or the money we would spend on them to the cause, you have no Idea how much that meant to me and I may have even had a tear or two run down my cheek but if anyone ever brings it up I will deny it (you know the whole Man Card thing, can't be too careful).

Anyway the point of my post is this: When you are making out your Christmas/Hanukkah/or other gift list I ask/beg/implore you consider contacting your local Wounded Warrior Project as they are everywhere and give a gift to a child that may well have lost their Mother or Father to the defense of our freedom, I can promise you no greater gift can be given.

I have never in my life felt so proud as I did this afternoon standing with the Families and the selfless people that volunteer their time to making the WWP a reality. So I'm done and here's the link and I implore each of you to consider giving a donation no matter how big or small to the Families of the Hero's that have given all in defense of this great nation and our freedom. Home - Wounded Warrior Project Thank you in advance for your consideration of this worthy cause. :thumbs:
