How wonderful to be able to watch an eagle couple from your kitchen window!

Good line right there. I'd think coming home with an appetite for supper should make her very happy ;)


My sister sent me these two bumper stickers she knew I'd get a chuckle out of

The late '70's around here they went dormant. Guess it was to hard to put a cat on one of those! :lol:

No eagles here, and never actually seen a bear (just the scat). I hear the foxes bark most every day from across the road. The biggest birds are the great herons that cruise the streams and ponds, and an occasional osprey. A variety of hawks and four types of woodpeckers. I caught a pileated at the feeder the other day, but the pictures through the screen aren't so great. Maybe we can make it out

Ever had one of those Heron's crap on your windshield? It's not pretty. It's like a sack of cement got dropped. SPLAT!!!

No, but I can imagine. They're so big I sense them flying over before the are in my line of sight. They sure have a crank call. Such prehistorical beasts.

Not my pic, but jeez! I never knew they hunted land critters. Must have been a drought. Fur vs scales, it's all good I guess

They are weird looking. And huge. We had a bunch of them around when we lived in the Angeles Forest. I thought they looked cool but they sh*t all over the place. Spackle City.

Have two sunflowers growing in the aloe plant . Didn’t plant them but found some eaten seeds under the table . Evidently a mouse got into the feeder overnight we bring it in because the bears rip them down . So it must have buried some seeds for later. And I’m guessing it was one of the two we got in the traps

this was more for me than my boy. first time in over 20 yrs anybody else has ever drove my truck. my wife moved it once in the driveway and that's it.
he's on his learners license (has to have a licensed driver with him) and been driving the wifes XUV all the time.
figured today i would throw him in the Four Ton Honey just for the halibut.
after a couple shaky turns (takes 862ft to do a u'ey) he got it down pretty pat....he also has to dip into the throttle a little easier too...he was chirping the tires at every stop sign....(for-taste of the future??)
man, did it EVER feel weird sitting in the pass seat....

Soil-nail walls. Some can look pretty good, but it’s not the most natural looking.

I heard a version of that: Just 'cause I'm on a diet don't mean I can't look at the menu.

Stayed home today to smoke some turkey and chicken thighs. Friend dropped by with his new acquisition. A 67 Malibu ragtop wife came home after working with a client and thought I had bought another one. He’s looking for a correct hood thought I might have had one

I almost bought a yellow bug on a Blazer chassis once. I waited too long. I'd like to know the specs on that blue one.
I don't need one but I'd like to bomb around in one occasionally.

I like the SS hood myself. Even if it's not correct, it adds some extra style

That bug would be neat if it came anywhere near fitting onto that Jeep chassis. I didn't take these pictures at work like CG did, but I don't know if this one fits any better (looks like it) but at least they did an exto-skeleton
Attachment 2186179

I'll take this design. Sits on a Suzuki Jimney chassis

I'll take a shot at it if you don't mind. Audi R8. Don't think I've ever seen one, but pics of it looks great. At least some -- maybe all, I dunno -- came with a V10.
