Oh, the shame, the shame. I didn't back-read, and I have no idea who's here. Although, I can guess that JJ and Terry are lurking as per their M.O. and of course JaG. So! Greetings to you and to The Beach at large!!
I couldn't bring myself to camp at my normal campsite which is right above where I have the TrailCam posted. Wonder why.
Instead, I went to The Cliffs section of my land. Here is a video that I took while sitting behind a drip curtain. It is water seeping through the 125' cliffs to drop over a deep overhang. I could see upstream, downstream, a lively spring in front of me and fish swimming below me.
Just to put this in perspective, this fallen boulder is about 10' high. You can see the scar where it fell from above. I heard this fall many acres away at my house.
This shows the actual height of the cliffs. You can see the sky in the upper right. The bottom is below the blue-gray layer of shale. There is a deep ledge that travels waaay back above the dark area. Then, more cliffs rise above it.
I took a blue gazillion photos including many of fossils (mostly crinoids) from the Paleozoic Period (541 to 252.2 million years ago). Think about that. This was before dinosaurs or mammals walked the earth. It was a time when land plants were just starting to take hold. These are exposed for the first time as the limestone boulders and slabs fall. Which means that I am the only one to have ever seen them. Kinda puts things in perspective when sea animals that more closely resemble plants leave an impression to be seen from that long ago. Very humbling.
I'll try to drop by later this evening.

Morning Sun. Have a happy day
And the rest of us? Are we to have a crappy day?
Afternoon, Beachers. Up early and took a friend for her colonoscopy...hospital 30 minutes away. Everything good so then we had to do some shopping and then lunch. So just now home since 7 this morning.
Hope everyone (incl. Tink) is having a great Monday.
Hi, Jag......
Great pictures!!
And eventually you'll want to go to your site.

Sounds like your friend had a good time. Well at the eating out part.
Aloha Terry, Tweety 
, Sun, Tink, Jade, Raven & Glam! wubs a daisy 
The smooth lines, sheer radiance, polished spokes and engine purring? Yeah.
I thought you'd like that pic. I didn't think you'd find it so quick!!
I won't ask what am I now.
I wasn't lurking.
I was at large. 
Yes, it is humbling to think of the vastness of time and space.
, Sun, Tink, Jade, Raven & Glam! wubs a daisy The only blue avi I can remember is my blue motorcycle.
You can tell the difference between a girl in blue and a bike in blue....right?
The smooth lines, sheer radiance, polished spokes and engine purring? Yeah.
Oh, the good old days!
Heya Beachies!

He used to be shy and sophisticated when I first met him, believe it or not.
I won't ask what am I now. Ah ha. He said no hunk avi but I'm sure it was him. He still ACTS sophisticated.
How you been?

Yes I'm just getting up.
You're getting to be almost as bad as me.
And the rest of us? Are we to have a crappy day?
You tell her, Glam!
Howdy Dave!

Hello, Beachers........
Trying to back read, then realized you would all be retired/in nursing homes before I could finish.
Exactly!!! And I'm giving up too.
Aloha and happy Monday to the Beach guys and dolls!
DD was feeling puny today, so I had to work her gig this morning. Omigosh, it was an office and warehouse ... and you won't believe this, but the client wanted me to do it all in two hours, including washing huge front plate windows of the bldg inside and out.
I had to burst his bubble when I told him only a crew of 4 could get it done in 2 hours. Some ppl think I carry a magic wand stuck in the rungs of my ladder. Yes, I had to even do ladder work to make him happy.
Exactly!!! And I'm giving up too.

Aloha Sea!
I'm glad you didn't make that bargain.
Hi Jag! Whoa...that Rave has some cool pictures.
Aloha Meggers. I see you like the twins.
Of course it's a disease.
Sort of getting back to the pre Buddie schedule.

So how long did it take you?

Hi meggers

It's so hot out that I don't want to do the pool
Aloha Jag! - Meggers! - Jan!
Jan, the time bought was 2 hrs only, so I did a bathroom, the office, all the windows and only the hoizontal steel cabinets in the warehouse in 2 hrs. I was in 10th gear, knew I had only 2 hrs, so I dint stop for a drink - had to hydrate on the way home after getting a slight headache. It all worked out for the good. The guy definitely for sure got his $50 worth. I think he was mainly after having those huge windows and his display cases washed which a window washer would have charged twice that.

He got off cheap.
Hi.
Lunch...BL
Yes ... a regular for their home, but not their office/warehouse. DD is going to resign this office gig and stick to their house only. Yes, we make fantastic money, but 2 hrs during the day blots out the time slot one could do a 4-6 hr job in - doesn't pay when you consider.
Oh, and woe woe, I walked off and left my e-juice at home. Here I was chugging 2x strength java on the way without anything to vape after going dry.
And then on the way back home, I looked down between the car seats and happened to remember ... there was an empty eGo box ... opened it, and there were 5 prefilled cartridges (remember the carts with the polyfill?). Worked out okay on the way back. Probably worked out better not vaping before considering my heart having to deal with the 2x caff with 24mg nic on top of that. So I was a happy little pup on the way back.
