To pronounce it, although it should be Shay-ye, the locals just say Canyon de Shay. It's an ancient pre-Navajo cliff-dwelling canyon in far NE Arizona. I loved climbing around in there.

Nitey nite, Don.

Hey youse guyz... I'm the oldest of all the old pharts and all youse are crashin' before me.:D Must be the new Lidocaine patches the doc sent me to help that lousy hydrocodone work. Oh well. I guess there's a couple pussies that need snuggles, so I'll go curl up with them.

Take it easy, sleep well, and we'll catch ya on the flip side.

OMG. Rich. It was a bad joke. ;) You didn't get it. (I'll tell you later...)
OK, that's M-bare-assing. :) Wifey gets the dirty joke and I miss it entirely. I have an excuse... uh, what was it? Oh yeah, I haven't hung out with any guys who tell jokes like that for... um, 20-25 years? I only know what a RCH measurement means because Wifey is a real redhead who used to be a drag racer and hung out with a bunch of foul-mouthed monkey wrenchers. Bad when the gurl knows more four-letter words than the ... uh, what to call me?... does the word "dweeb" mean anything to you? :rolleyes: Oh well. Anyway, now that she turned the light on for me, I get it. Good catch/reply, Don. :D

No disrespect meant to your bride of course. Redheads are beautiful and usually keep you on your toes. I'm sure she is a wonderful lady.

None taken, and she thought it was really funny.
Redheads are beautiful
Yeah, though nowadays she doesn't seem to hold that opinion of herself, but I still do. When we met (a long time ago in a galaxy far far away), she had really really bright red hair and today I say she's a rusthead, but she just comes back with "rust never sleeps." She's always on her toes and I'm usually sagging.
she is a wonderful lady.
No doubt about it, in my mind anyway. I didn't marry her because she was a hot sex object; I married her because she is my very best friend on this whole planet. One day we might both be pushing walkers around the house, but we will still sit and have good intelligent conversations.

Yeah it comes and goes really. I mostly use a swamp cooler and it's fine. Have to shut it off at night. When it gets humid we have to use the air conditioner and that just drinks the electricity.
When I first moved here in the late 70's all I had was a swamp, man was that pitiful....damn near killed me.

Sold that shaq before I bought another with both swamp and A/C.

Damn Rich, Lannie, looks like planting time...
I'm sure it is, but I likely will be spending this coming week cutting wood and screwing it onto the chicken run and coop, which the cows have been trying to destroy all winter. The more they break, the closer they get to the chickens' food - oats. Now that the mud has hardened, I can use the ladder without sinking my old ass (or tipping and falling- you know the drill). Also, sometime this summer, I need to get out the big ladder and scrape and repaint the whole damn house (hail damage). Somewhere in there, I hope to do gardening, and mowing, and pruning, and.......

Sounds like fun.....NOT.

That's life on the homestead. I'm thinking a single wide (w/alum siding) in Prescott.......:)

Yeah I hear that too. Usually breezy here, but nothing near 10-60 mph constantly like you endure.
Sometime this summer, I also need to fix the flagpole and get that back up. Wish I could afford a steel pole because the damn wind keeps breaking this tubular aluminum, which they claim is good to 100 mph (bullshit!).
