YOU'VE BEEN READING CORNWELL AGAIN, HAVEN'T YOU, SHIELD WALLS AND SWINE ARRAY :-)

OH, THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT ON MY OKLAHOMA HOME---A BIT TOO BRIGHT IN FACT. IT'S 87/61% AT 0944 HRS GOING FOR 102 ACCORDING TO THE WEATHER WIZARDS.

THE BUG SLAYER IS DUE THIS MORNING WITH ALL THE LOCAL NEWS FOR DARLING WIFE AND DEATH FOR THE BUGS. SPEAKING OF WHICH, I HAD TO EXECUTE A LARCENOUS SQUIRREL YESTERDAY. .38 SHOT SHELLS ARE QUITE EFFECTIVE AT ACROSS THE PORCH RANGES.
THERE IS, HOWEVER, SOME SLIGHT COLATERAL DAMAGE TO THE BIRD FEEDER.

COULD GO OVER TO MUSKOGEE AND RESTOCK BIRD SEED IF THE SPIRIT MOVES ME.

ALLONS, AMIGOS---

Squirrels do what squirrels do.

Cut the grass at home and at the nursery. Good for another week. Another reason I like a Florida winter is you can back off and cut every two weeks. Eveything grows slower if at all during winter opening up opportunities on how to spend your time. There is definitely a price to pay for living in the tropics. Might have to rethink my landscape. Reversion to a native landscape sounds inviting.

Yes I have.... his Last Kingdom series....book and the TV shows.... I enjoyed them.... always interesting how much Christianity played in the early history of England, both good and bad.

I also am letting nature reclaim more of the acreage each year. I used to mow and mow but now letting the pasture areas go back to native grasses..... looks nice.... less work...

I'd like to own a few pastures and plant a ton of wildflowers out there in them and set me a little one room cabin underneath a tree for me a little hideout.
It was unbearably hot yesterday bout 100 and humidity bout the same, today much cooler and tried to rain earlier, storm clouds but no real rain. we need it. And I need that bird feeder. i also need a new pellet gun so my squirrel problem will diminish while my freezer stock increases.
Got the Rover cleaned up yesterday, all packed up today ready to roll in the middle of the night. Annnndddd of course it can't be that simple. Some problem, alarm started going off for no reason earlier. Tried to lock it and it barked at me, wouldn't lock, then when it did , alarm went off again, drove me nuts and I'm sure the neighbors weren't happy. Googled it and found that I'm on in about 87 million folks having that same problem. All over what looks to be a $18 part, a hood sensor latch. The thing thinks someone is trying to open the hood. Read where it can be bypassed by pulling out the two wires on lower left and twisting those together. I can order a part and looks like something I can do myself. Arron will be home soon with his scanner and he'll look it over. I really hate to unpack all that shit if I don't have to
