You go there.... Enjoy yourself.... Everyone needs their "Me" time every once in a while. I'm sure it's long over due based on your busy schedule lately.

OMG!!! i love it!!! the girl was so funny, i had her braid it so i could donate it , then she started to whack it off, and had to stop 3 times LOL her hand got cramped up and she had to flex it a bit HAHAHAHAH that is how freaking thick my hair WAS!!! i had her thin it out while she was cutting it , it barly passes my chin in front and the back is MAYBE an inch long

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE im so happy!!! so i came home and dyed it BLONDE!!! well strawberry blonde but in this light it just looks blonde lol!

so i had a great day to make up for a rotten week , and i feel so much better with the new me!!! DNW just pet my hair and said im as soft as thedog.......is that a complement??!! LMAO

LMAO Wade, ya he said something along that line LOL....."YAY new wife for the night!!!" i hit him....ill get a pic tomorrow after i put somemakeup on, wuddnt wanna crack ur monitors LOL!
 
Big day. Got rid of the goats. Just decided I have enough to keep me busy and gave them to a friend who was jealous. Turns out I'm not really a livestock kind of guy anyway.

Mulched the blueberries, and treated the soil with ammonium sulfate. It was the only soil amendment I could find locally, and still had to buy a 50# bag. It'll last a while as I had to use less than 1 cup to treat the small area. Also mulched the strawberries and raspberries with straw/ hay(?). Not sure which. Some of the goat hay was moldy from being damp, so couldn't be fed to them. There are 5 flower beds yet to go. Mulching is slow work, but it's totally worth it.

Dithered over planting cherry trees while mowing. Did nothing, and am regretting it. Will likely do the same thing every day until the trees are sold to someone else.

This is the topper: Chopped an '82 Ford truck box apart with an old axe and carried the pieces up a steep but short hill to the road, then loaded it onto a truck for scrap.

Let the ducks out to roam today. And then had to catch 'em to put them in the coop for the night. They're fast. I'm tired. They nearly won.

All in all it was a very productive day.
 
Went to Kmart to check out grills, came home with no grill. Convinced my better half that she should go for a ride on the bike with me. Short 7 mile ride with her (she actually said she enjoyed it this time). Came home went for a 23 mile ride with my son on back roads for the most part. Came home from that, my wife and daughter were just about asleep, now I'm sitting her on the patio watching the stars and posting here while enjoying a glass of chiante.

Life is grand.


Please everyone say a prayer for all of our service men and women who cannot be home with their families and loved ones due to serving abroad.

God Bless our troops...
 
WOW, you are the man. If I did that I would be waking up to someone yelling CLEAR with two paddles on my chest! :sh Although I am going to get my bike out next week and start biking again. I keep saying I'm going to get the kayaks out also but talk is easy.

I have a canoe that I didn't even get out last year. I was bummed. This year I'll get my 3 y/o out in it. Maybe head to Moraine or somewhere.

I just started riding last june. I have almost 2500 miles that I put on the bike. My son and I were suppose to go to SC to see my other son who is deployed this summer. Oh well change of plans. My wife is talking about getting her permit now. Cool is all I can say.

By Bike I meant Motorcycle. I did 27 mikes on a pedal bike once and I didn't move for the next 3 days...

:):):):) now I feel much better! It's been three years since my kayaks have been wet. I used to go all the time on Lake Erie and the Allegheny river. Then I discovered other things...recliner, food, wine, etc..

I bought my canoe 4 yrs ago from a neighbor for $50.00. She used it 2x before me. Neightbor and I across me were doing Chartiers Creek every year at least 2x until last year when he took another job. The creek isn't the cleanest thing but up near Canonsburg there is alot of nice areas.
 
More kitten feeding for me today. I'm going try to get out to get a camera to take pics of these little critters. They are so darn cute.
 
Makes me feel like I either need to meow a little louder, or at least comb my hair before the camera comes out! LOL

MUD, practice your swimming skills, they may be easier to catch that way!

Nikki must have smacked him pretty good if she has to put make up on his wounds!
LOL all the way around.

Holy Cow, I'm seeing a boat ride! We have a canoe but last year was the first time we didn't take it out. Too many other things kept coming up. Where on the Allegheny did you go Dan? We usually canoe between Tidiuote and Tionesta. Really beautiful area to canoe, water has some deep spots but for the most part shallow enough to stand in. Doug you would enjoy the area. If you canoe in the late afternoon there is usally an Eagle flying above you.
 
I've got a mixed bag going today. The blackberries are just starting to get ripe around here, so I want to get ahead of the game and try to pick some roadside berries. Even if I only get 5 lbs, that's a start at what I'm hoping for this year.
5 gallons wasn't nearly enough blackberry wine, even though I will admit I have 5 or 6 bottles still left over!
I've also started tearing out the drywall in our upstairs shower.
With everything going on, I just don't know if I'll be able to work in a nap sometime in the afternoon.
 
I'm filtering my Mezza Luna & cranberry/raspberry mixed with other juices today and might run my skeeter pee through also since I have it set up .My pee didn't clear properly but i don't care since lemonade looks like that anyways ,my fault I didn't wait the week before adding Super Kleer OH well .

Plus my new SP needs to go in the carboy today and my othere wine needs stablized & degassed .Busy day so I will bottle to tomorrow .

That would be cool. I have firends that have a camp up near Kinzua. They do used to do a canoe trip every year. Not sure why I never went, think i was always busy with other stuff. I like getting out in the canoe. We're going to get the 3 y/o a life jacket this year.
 
Went down to Kavic Winery today. Their wine is amazing. Dr. Kavic use to be my neighbor, I offered help in the fall when they bottle and he told me he would give me a call. I also have a source for bottles now. He said he would save them for me.
 
I'm still on kitten duty and loving it. My babies all have their eyes open now and are developing little personalities. One is really fussy about the temperature of the feed ( the male of course) and the girls are beginning to wave tiny paws at each other.
