Garage? What garage. Ours is currently a catch-all that resembles a hoarder's jungle. It gets an annual sorting so the convertible has a winter home. Soon as nice weather hits it again becomes a catch-all.
What are you doing today?

Today we will clean the waterfall area of overgrowth. Will be on the lookout for a very large garter snake that has been seen in that area. Linda has commanded that he be exterminated. I am always sad when having to do this and have tried time and again to explain they are harmless critters that are part of pond life. She just shakes her head and says not in this pond. There are two, (at least) additional garters that are hanging about the stream bed. She has yet to see them so for now they can go about their business. I admit, I do not like snakes either. So long as they do not bother me, they are safe. However, Linda is an exterminate on sight person. She is extremely fearful of them.
The waterfall sprucing, as well as some weeding and trimming around the bog and stream will mean we are finally caught up on "gardening". The yard went to heck while we built the pond house, expanded the bog, and built the stream bed. Still have some gravel work to do but the area is essentially finished with the exception of the outdoor kitchen, (next year's main project). Beginning this weekend, we will be laying back and enjoying the fruits of our work for a while.

I had to sell my daughter her supra back to get my garage back so I could bring the lawnmower thru from the back. It is organized hoarding, built a shelf sort of last week, used a piece of plywood and blocks and 2x6's that needed out of the floor, to get the wood up. My dog went crazy when he couldn't get to the spot where he smelled a critter. Had to organize. Put some legs under the arm by the refrigerator (that needs fixed) and today there is a freshly shellacked singer sitting on the ledge... this pic is last week.

My solution to water snakes is a minnow trap hung along the edge of the pond, they get in they can't find their way out. Then relocate or exterminate as you choose. I usually relocate to the drainage creek that doesn't border my yard. They eat my frogs, which I don't like but they also eat rodents some...

The Hittites I can handle, but those Danes are making an absolute nuisance of themselves.
But their danish is quite good.
If you’re in the market for ancient metal, I would make sure not to buy anything from Ea Nasir…Thinking about getting a few of these Damascus steel arrowheads to hunt with. Not sure how practical they'd be, and they're really too expensive to justify. But wow, they sure would look pretty on the tips of my hand-made, primitive arrows...

That was a fun read, thanks. Who knew they had Trip Advisor in ancient Ur?
Argh! I messed up and the ammonia was up to 4 ppm. Did a partial water change to get it back to 2-3. I would really like to get these new fish this weekend. But I won't compromise their health by putting them in an uncycled tank.

Sitting here watching the deluge, listening to the thunder, and smelling the ozone from a violent storm currently unleashing its fury. My sister-in-law is named Debby just like this storm. Hard to tell them apart.

Mrs. Badger and the Badgerling are off on a girlie trip to Casper, shopping for clothing and a new cat, I understand. Yes, I trust them a lot.
I am taking the opportunity to get a lot done: Some major renovations on my 55g (see journal), a good run in the desert, lunch from a taco truck, a nap, some research on a business I'm thinking about starting, and now to clean up the house and get my hunting gear organized and blades sharpened for next week's antelope opening day.
I'm hoping to kill an antelope with a long bow this year. That would be quite a coup. And it would be awfully nice to begin the school year and elk hunting season with some meat already in the freezer.

I've been doing some errands (I just hate the supermarkets when the customers are overcrowding the store but unfortunately the errands won't come to the house by themselves..), cleaning the window and window sills, moved my chilli pepper plants outdoors, cutting all the older seed pods of the lemon basel plant and let them dry more.
And now it's time to relax and hang out on the couch...

Brought my electric trike to my apartment to do some fiddling and my bird from Hades took it over (first image). He right away came out of his cage and perched on the handlebar and claimed it as his.
So I guess that I now have a 'biker bird' which means he needs a radical jacket. Mayhaps the second image could work...
