Glad y’all are home safe. Now there is work to do.![]()
That is one of the reasons I sold my cabin. I was only up there a couple times a month. One of the coldest parts of the state. I always worried about the furnace going out and the results when I finally got back up there.thank you for the Kind words!..
work , how did you know?..
back in January there was a cold spell here -40-60 below zero and
we have a busted waterline…
bad part is it flooded the bathroom and I will have to replace the floor
here’s the kicker:
in plenty of time like 2 weeks notice , we put in a change of address before we left
it never went through
consequently we didn’t get our electric bill in time , $32 dollars, and we ended up being 5 days late
fukin elect company turned off our electricity
freezer full of beef and food , gone
same with fridgerator/freezer
blood all over the pantry floors , linoleum will need replaced , maybe floor if blood saturated it..
so I have been running around all morning , got electric back on , got freezer out of house , cleaned out fridge
now I am getting ready to assault the broken water lines , under the house in a 3 foot crawl space…
dive! dive! dive!….
What a mess was always afraid of that happening here since I wasn't round all the time.thank you for the Kind words!..

Gorgeous bird!It'll get to 55 here today and blue skys, more of the lake is opening up also.
Get that rain and storms thru here she'll be rocking and a rolling.
Tag and I out walking round the property and I spys this winged predator which I'm quite confident he's the one who left the rabbit fur pile out by the strawberry patch.
Got within 6' of it, it seemed to be more interested in Tag a little too much going on and off he went. View attachment 19175709 View attachment 19175710
Oh No. what a thing to come home to. Sorry about all that. Does it smell rotten in your place? I lost electricity to my freezer connection once and it smelled like a dead body for sure. gave away the freezer and its bloody contents. It had not leaked in my house yet.thank you for the Kind words!..

I thought that after a certain age they left you alone. I am sure (almost) you will be able to be excused because of your age and your limitations.....I have doctors appointment booked daily for the next several years.Well shit! I just got a jury summons.....................
I asked to be excused due to my age, enlarged prostates requiring frequent urination, and arthritis making it painful for me to sit in on position very long. Vee vil zee................
When I worked at the historic site people would bring there dogs and we had a place in the shade with water where the dogs were allowed to stay. One day this smallish dog was being led to the dog hangout spot when a robin landed on the ground in front of us. The small dog went into a state of panic. The owner of the dog told me...they had saved their dog from an owl. When the owl tried to fly away with the dog it couldn't get off the ground easily and the people were able to save their dog.It'll get to 55 here today and blue skys, more of the lake is opening up also.

I have had dogs before. and not nearly long as most folks here.I dashed my own dreams but after spending all day with him yesterday I see the intense love for me and due to him being a consumate bad ass...I just can't bring another dog into my life with Ivan...he's 100% devoted to me and is never far from my sight...Dutch was a very different dog, total warrior but mellow enough to spend 3 days in the hospital when I had surgery...If I did that with Ivan all hell would break loose if someone entered my room...he's obedient and loving toward me but he's daddies boy and would react harshly if he even thought I was being threatened or being intimidated...he's not viscious but he guards me and his turf...he would either love the pup or destroy it if he felt threatened...keep in mind he's not just a German
shepherd, he's a DDR German shepherd...no comparison to be made...he's a machine when he is working yet a loving little boy with daddy...I am crushed knowing such a great dog can be mine but I am being responsible and not inviting bloodshed...I really was thinking with emotion and not common sense...![]()
Washington is calling you!thank you for the Kind words!..

"Do y’all have any cool rocks there"Nice to have you hang out with us kief. We are all ready for spring here tooHopefully you will post some pics of Finland. Do y’all have any cool rocks there? Do you have a garden started?
Think of how we would feel if there was a predator out there big enough to carry us off without warning...............When I worked at the historic site people would bring there dogs and we had a place in the shade with water where the dogs were allowed to stay. One day this smallish dog was being led to the dog hangout spot when a robin landed on the ground in front of us. The small dog went into a state of panic. The owner of the dog told me...they had saved their dog from an owl. When the owl tried to fly away with the dog it couldn't get off the ground easily and the people were able to save their dog.
Ever since, the dog sees any bird and it freaks out if it gets too close.
