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.

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.![]()
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.![]()
Hmm....to wonder DD was feeling "puny" today.![]()
Oh I imagine after they get tons of attention that will change!!
Astrid any heavier today?
Hey Sun. More kittens. YaY!
I'm gone now. Later........
I won't weight her until tomorrow. She's eating well - just had first supper. We are a little off schedule so I will give her a little suck before bedtime.
Rave -- gorgeous pics! Please be careful. Before you even said anything I knew that was shale slag, just from looking at the shards. It can break so abruptly and you could be crushed to death. And yes, how cool it is to see fossils you know that you are the first to look at. Coal pits are the prime places to look for swamp fossil and I (we) found a fossil print of a tremendous fern leaf. Everyone wanted it but there was no way to get it off the mountain other than a crane, so there it stayed.
I've never had a white castle burger. I can't think of them without thinking of Saturday Night Fever and the barking scene in the restaurant lol. I suppose they are like Krystal's?
My brother brought a whole bunch of those to my other brothers house. I had a couple and they were so-so. I think they would have better fresh.
