Whose the thief, who's the thief!

Swiper no swiping! Swiper no swiping! Swiper no…. aww man!
I scared him away, but it looks like he was pressing the net against the grapes and having a go at them.

Busted. Any questions about the biggest vineyard thief? I'm hoping my would be thief has given up. He was checking the electric fence about once a week.

I was thinking about an electric fence. I have one for my bees and after this made sure the bottom wire was a little closer to the ground.

Do you have raccoon defenses deployed? Did you make him pay?

They sure are cute though.

This is the first year for raccoon. I’ve had squirrel and birds before so I used netting and Mylar ribbons. This year was a bust. With grape berry moths, hungry squirrels and birds, no rain for months then three days of rain (lots of split berries) I really had nothing left to speak of. I’m going to have to mark that down in the book as this year’s experience.

Defense for birds: years past I put out 4 owl decoys as the color got really going.... Didn't work.

Last year I waited until they were hitting near 12-15 brix and put out 3 decoys.... NO bird damage.

The real difference: I changed how I placed the decoys. Previous years I put them on end and middle posts. The birds stayed out a few days.
Last year I placed them on the fence tucked into tree branches and it must have looked more natural. Never even saw a bird in the area. Particularly robins and quail, biggest offenders.

Most over used medical tool.
Interest in finding new treatments has been renewed!
Are we witnessing the end of an era for Viagra and Pfizer? Since the famous “little blue pill” exploded on to the market in 1998, becoming the fastest selling drug in history, the American pharmaceutical giant has made vast sums marketing it to erectile dysfunction sufferers all over the world. Within three months of its launch, Viagra had already earned Pfizer $400m, and over the past two decades, it has consistently generated annual sales to the tune of $1.8bn. lol

I was a contractor for Glaxo-Welcome in the late 90's. Any drug that produced less than $1 billion USD revenue in the first year was considered "unsuccessful". By that 20+ yo standard, $1.8 billion USD is considered "ok, pretty good".

All good, thanks Jim.

Strong winds all night and today, still..!! Lost power a few times with the strong winds, transformers popping all night causing power interruptions but thank God we have a powerful generator here in the building, no issues except short few seconds interruptions.

I shot this last night after scouting and planning the shot for a couple of months. It's only 15 minutes and 2000 feet above our house just above Jerome. 10 different shots of the truck, light painting sections then blending together. Then 5 more shots of the milky way stacked and blended with the trucks. Could it be that I found the tow truck inspiration for Mater from the cars movie?

Look close. Something is out of the ordinary.......

This is why I shop early.
If I'm lucky I beat the other SOB's who are just like me.

Not sure you can capture the big clouds moving in, strong winds refreshing the weather a bit, welcomed winds I may say.

That front was moving in rapidly and very dark clouds along with it.

Starlink?

 

[ibglowin]

Good morning LA!

 

[ibglowin]

Great Summer for Dahlia's.

 

[Kraffty]

Starlink?

That's what I was thinking. It's amazing how many plane and satellite and meteorite trails I have to clone out of my night sky images.

 

[geek]

Starlink?

Starlink recently has satellites that now cover the caribbean including the DR and it is amazing how now remote locations "deep in the bush" have access to so many things they didn't have access to before.

That's why I keep saying Elon Musk is a genious.
