  1. Been married 47 years. I think she used to.
  2. That's why I have barn cats. I also have 7 kittens (less than 3 weeks old) on the front porch. I don't want the snek to reduce the mouser numbers. There is a bird nest under the eaves that the snake was after. The wife would be pissed if anything happened to her birds. Some type of swallow that eats bugs so it is allowed to build there.
  3. A couple of nights ago Pulled him off of the post and put him in the pasture about 50 yards from the house. Next morning Took him down to the lake, you can see part of it at the top of this pic, about 400 yards away. He returned this morning so I put him in a bucket and took him to the golf course. I figured he could eat vermin around the cart sheds. Let him go And the SOB made a beeline for my golfcart and crawled behind the airbox. I pulled him out and put him in one of our maintenance sheds. Before you criticize my deck, and it does look sorry, we are rebuilding and painting it. You can see the top of my radial arm saw in the 2nd pic.
  4. Great read. I'm surprised I hadn't read that before. Makes me rethink my aloofness for everything Springsteen.
  5. Who was Charlie Faust? I have lived here for 40 years and never heard of this cat. It says he pitched for the NY Giants in 1911. At least we aren't stuck with Terry Nichols.
  6. We have had about 20" of rain so far in May. My brome is 4' tall, higher if it could stand upright. I would like to get it baled soon but it is too wet to get in the field and there is still rain in the forecast for the next week. We usually get 12-14 bales off of the 8 acres in front of my house but I won't be surprised if it makes 20 this year. IF it will quit raining long enough to put it up. I'm glad this isn't how I make a living, not sure if I could take the strain.
  7. This is my favorite FNM tune. Love the bass line.
  8. I am a huge Mike Patton fan. Hope you don't mind if I drop a couple of his side projects in here.
  9. I guess that there is some overlap on our musical Venn Diagram, Swayze. I wasn't too sure earlier.
  10. Never been a Royal. Must be a porn addict
  11. More Brandi
  12. How is everybody doing? Now that Spring is finally here and I'm able to work in the garden and help at the golf course I have noticed that my mood is quite a bit brighter. Feels good to get my hands dirty and break a sweat. I hope all of you are in a good place. I'm not sure if it's good or bad that this thread left the front page.
  13. Kerosene put me to thinking of Camper Van Beethoven and "Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart". "Tania" and "Eye of Fatima" are great songs.
  14. Not a popular pick, even by the band, but Atom Heart Mother is a favorite of mine.
  15. Echoes Dogs One of These Days Interstellar Overdrive
  16. I'm not sure why Spotify never recommended Mocean Worker before today but I'm hooked.
  17. A lot of folks didn't burn last year because it was so dry and windy. Everybody I have talked to is going to do it this year, now that things are wet. I'll take some pictures in a couple of weeks when the bluestem is coming back. It looks like a pool table for as far as you can see. Most of our ponds are full this spring so I expect this to be a very good grazing season.
  18. We started burning Friday evening. This was just an 80. I expect that some of the bigger pastures in the neighborhood will go up this week.
  19. Billy Cobham is (was?) a badass. "Safe From Harm" by Massive Attack heavily samples this tune.
  20. Posrep for thread title
  21. i celebrate the brief glimpse of Lima Time we had in KC.
  22. ^^^^ This. I have the Central Electric unit from HF. Had it for over 15 years and it still works fine the few times each year that I use it.
  23. Greens and fairways are starting to show a little green growth.
