@Gary A. what’s your secret for getting your iPhone photos to post? Mine all error out due to file size. I’ve given up on sharing them as not worth the effort of Flickr and also sometimes not something I want on my Flickr feed...

Morning all. Looks to be another hot, muggy, keep myself in the A/C so I can breathe kind of day. My DW broached the subject of how it might be time to start thinking about downsizing again, as the struggle to keep up the property during the summer is becoming more and more difficult. Normally I would have shrugged her off, but this time it's made me question it as well.

No youngsters wanting to earn a couple bucks to help you out Smoke? I bought my first car helping a neighbor over a couple years with yardwork and farm chores.

Oh good Lord! They just got rid of one annoying " star " on tv ( Roseanne ) and now they are talking about bringing back another ( Fran Drescher )

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

Question for anyone with an ornamental pond: Is there a way to rid one of leeches and not harm tadpoles/frogs or cattails and water irises?

When we were kids, dad would put some chicken in a burlap sack. Tied it off with a piece of rope and tossed it in. Pulled it out a couple days later and it was full.

Didn't want to suggest that so I googled it. Same thing only using a coffee can with holes punched in it. Check it out.

I may have to do something like that when the Missus isn't looking

Can you guys start your own thread for that topic please? You can call it TMI or **** no one wants to know.

Pun intended

Great idea. It could be called "For Men Only - The Adolescent Boy Thread."

That way, I can safely catch up on this thread without feeling like I wasted moments of my life I can't get back.

Nice shots, Gary. How's Maggie's eye?

Some things I can, but I wouldn't trust them on tractor and steep slopes

Gary crops them. It is odd that the original file sizes differ greatly. It is about a 50:50 shot for Gary if the image/file will upload directly with no modifications. After that, Gary starts trimming the sucker. If the files won't load after a crop or two, Gary will walk away, spit on the ground and curse TPF and a few generations of offsprings.

Miss Maggie's eye seems to be about 100% recovered. Doc Wilson said it should be fully healed in less than a week. She is back to being a handful of energy and love. More people know Maggie than Mary Lou and Gary. She played with a dog, Beau/Bo, in the park about ten days ago. The other day Beau/Bo and human drove up from Huntington Beach (about 30 minutes away), for the dogs to play again.

Thank you for asking. In a nutshell, while she is still receiving medication (eyedrops), Maggie is no longer in pain and back to her ol', PITA, wonderful self.

Downsizing as in maintaining less acreage or downsizing as in moving?

No need to be ugly, but your idea of a men only or ladies only thread is a good idea. A place where each could speak feely without comment by the other side.

Le Petomane is still Gary's hero.

Probably both. Maybe to a climate more friendly to the Asthma.
