    Yesterday I dug out the hedge trimmer and gave the forsythia bush a haircut. Afterwards I was walking around it and noticed a bird's nest near the top. I didn't damage the nest but it was originally inside the bush, now it's exposed on the top. Took the dogs on a last trip out last night and saw the birds sitting on the nest. Don't know if being exposed like that is risky for them but for now they seem to be toughing it out. They were directly in line with a floodlight on the garage so I'm going to keep those lights off until they leave the nest.
    Glad the hedge trimmer missed the nest.

    Thanks, I usually have 8 different mixes in my rotation and also have a hard time tasting them. I think that 50 years of smoking and old age have taken its toll on my taste buds.
    Yeah, same here. I've noticed that the one flavor that's always there is menthol. I have one flavor that's TFA Creme De Menthe and another that's blueberry with CdeM. They are my fallback when the taste buds take some time off.

    Last time I ordered CdeM was a bit odd. Apparently it contains trace amounts of alcohol which brings it under some shipping rule. They can't ship larger bottles. But smaller bottles are fine. Seems it's safe to ship 6 small bottles but not one large bottle.

    I'm not real big on menthol or mint flavors. That being said my next rotation will have
    creme de menthe thick-creme de menthe 2%,milk condensed .8%,vanilla french thick 2.2%,sweet .3%

    chocolate candy cane-cocoa milk 2%,candy cane 1%,choc.custard 2%,dark choc .4%,choc white 1%,marshmallow 1%,rum 1%,whipped crm 1%,swt .5%

    buttermint 3%-van crm extra-1%

    cherry candy cane-cherries 3%,cherry compote .5%,peppermint 2%,marshmallow .25%,(arctic winter .25%)

    Like you mentioned, hoping to wake the taste buds.

    Good morning, hitt.:) Hope the tummy ache is gone now.
    It’s better now. I should have known better than to eat any of the junk food that the ladies brought to Bunco. I got home from Sam’s and they were all like you should try this and that.
    and another looking north...........

    I went to pick up Dunkin’ Donuts for the wife’s bday since it’s kinda tradition. It’s the one time of year we have donuts. The girl working was an idiot and had to get help three times entering my order. I also ran by the floral department at our grocery store and got flowers. They always have nice arrangements and are about half price of the florist I used to use.

    i usually walk quite a distance to get to the secluded spots

    there were a good number of people out and about this morning
    pretty many actually

    some walking, some running, some biking, some just laying on the beach, a few were swimming

    for a bit i sat and watched a younger couple doing Tai Chi, and they were doing some pretty advanced movements. i do Tai Chi but not like the youngsters!

    flavorless works very nicely with the mint snus pouches

    and LOL, i still have about a dozen Jakobsson's mint in my freezer
    i don't use snus all that much, just like it here and there

    walking on sandy beaches is excellent exercise
    it's a really good, yet gentle, workout
    there is resistance from the deep sand and that engages more muscles
    you feel it more
    When I was in the army, we used to run on sand trails through the NM desert. It was good training. When we went to main post for battalion runs then we found running on pavement easy while others couldn’t keep up. The battalion commander was a running fanatic so he liked to do long runs and see how many people he could get to drop out.

    The jakobsson mint has been a favorite for a long time. I was very sad when they discontinued it. I still have a couple rolls in my freezer but will be very sad when it runs out.

    Here’s us on the Georgia side of the lake looking at South Carolina. Wife and I took our granddaughter to town for the pre-fourth celebration. They do that to keep the out-of-towners at bay.

    Fireworks will be lit tonight just around the bend.

    Love all the nice pics. We are having our usual weather...storms. It started raining so hard on my way home that I couldn't see the lanes and if I didn't have GPS, I would have missed my turnoff. I miss the PNW with the gentle rain.
