Say it isn't so!!!!!!
We will never know really tho…
I know ......I have to look at myself.....eek
We were out for breakfast yesterday at the Cadilliac Cafe, using a gift card from our next-door neighbor in appreciation for our ongoing support. Grayfox takes care of their cat when they are traveling and I lend a hand on home projects.thanks Brother!……at our age , we need all the encouragement we can get!….
are you all going out for breakfast this morning?…no rounding up of tennis balls in the park?….any overnight shootings in the hood?….
our little town is so boring compared to a big city like Portlandia where there is some action 24/7
i will say this though , we have quite an investigation going on in town…it is bad enough that the state fbi are in town investigating
in a nutshell , the fbi is investigating a murder case
seems the sheriffs mother-in-law may have murdered her boyfriend , two shots to the head
he was a prominent rancher and big landowner out here
here is where it all gets sketchy….rumors are flying that the son shot the dad and the girlfriend is covering for him….then the other rumor is that the girlfriend shot him and the son is covering for his mom….
and of course just about everyone involved , especially the rancher and his girlfriend , they are all big alcoholics , whiskey
the case is so sketchy that two of the deputies have resigned in protest as to how the sheriff has been conducting the investigation which probably has to do with his mothern law….
or something like that
so yeah , we seen the two black fbi suburbans rolling around town and there is a shadow of gloom around the little town this morning….
Nice neighbors, both intelligent, but she was in health care and his proclivities lie with municipal project management vis a vis mechanical insight, which is mostly where my support has come in, usually after he has already made a run at it and has encountered complications.
Uplifting that they appreciate it enough to buy us breakfast!
I've eschewed our long morning walks, that included the tennis courts, in deference to my lower badk issues, so no thrilling tennis ball caches scored recently, and Portland has had around 16 homicides by gunfire thus far this year, but I don't see any new ones so far today. Mostly gang violence.
Hee, hee, hee, sounds like the suspense deepens on your local homicide with the FBI becoming involved. I wait with bait on my breath to hear the details as they unravel as well as the final denouement.

Old fart, remember!
Check this out, a mushroom side explosion on a C99 backcross. So weird. Believe I'm at about 7 weeks 12/12. Has that old timey C99 bubble gum aroma some of you veteran old pHarts should remember!
This has been the most fukked up garden I've ever done, partly my fault - neglectful watering inducing premature leaf drop, fungus gnat explosion, spider mites. One of my main priorities is getting this damn vineyard pruned. Also greenhouse tropical trees are exploding in blooms. Pollinators are having a ball, mostly flies, bees and butterflies. Smells SOOOO fine. Ever smelled a mango blooms? Suwwwwwwweeet!
I did a pollen chuck with two afghani goyls. One was a female 1990 Master Kush X Afghani 90, the other was a Read Seeds "afghaan mix". Male was a 1990 Master Kush X Afghani 90, Real Seeds (via Kwik Seeds).
Harvested about 100 Meyer lemons on one tree. Figure I have another 100 to go. Me and friends zest, juice....freezing juice in ice cube trays. Leaves have dropped with a new flush and is blooming.
Make it a great day,
UB
stay tuned Brother , stay tuned
we are down to the sheriff and two deputies right now so the bank is a sitting duck..
damn boo…… sounds like a condition of …………..yikes…..
just slap me upside the head Ben , maybe twice , that will help jar the reset button on my fecking fading memory!…
some beautiful photos Amigo!
some c99 about 4 years ago….
I reported it to the local authorities....
don’t the authorities all live in England and they all probably went home early to start the long weekend….
OMG.....this is tragic.

Enjoy wood working/refinishing. Been building speakers since the 60's. Recent projects - refinished a big pecan desk for a friend and trimmed out my kitchen and dining room window sills in red oak to match the red oak cabinets, hutch, dining room suite, etc. Waterlox Original Sealer is my go to. It's a tung oil varnish, really pops the grain. Best I've used in 45 years. No sanding needed between coats. I knock down the raised nubs after the first coat with 220 grit though. No need for water app to raise the grain.
Ripped, sanded, did a round over on 1X8. Matching the radius on the window sill was fun! Didn't have to use caulk cause there wasn't any gaps. Damn proud of that.
Cures for weeks, gloss backs off to about 55%.
