Ummm... who's Chuck? (I be Rich). Working my buns off, as usual.Hey there Chuck. Hangin' in there. How are you doin'?

Waking up?....you working night shifts?.....Duh, sorry about that Rich. LOL, I'm still waking up, kinda groggy.
That explanation sounds really good....Nah. Ate supper and laid down on the sofa and poof out went the lights. Just woke up a bit ago.
You have more than likely hit the nail right on the head.Well, I'm 69 and eat dinner about 4 PM, then work some more, then stay up (on average) until midnight. I suspect it isn't your age so much as it is how much is on your plate (double entendre).
You have a LOT on your mind, I can see why it's hard to sleep.....brain going 100mph and your body is going 50mph.I have that problem too but knod after dinner just cant sleep
oh wow...i can smell it from here. Nothing like fresh cut grass and flowers...!@inspects We were talking about the smell of this place yesterday. Figured I'd share a couple pics, taken from inside the garden today.
This is a few of the wild plums (there's probably a hundred on this property, but only a few in the garden)

And this is the lilac hedge that borders the west and north sides of the garden (and a hundred more on other parts of the property)

Yup, it really does smell like flowers right at the moment...
See you later CraigThink I'm gonna go back and lay down. See you all later.
Thanks. Another net friend stopped by here a few years back, and once clear of the highway gate, she told Lannie that this place was like the Secret Garden (I assume, from the movie by that name and she meant the whole place, not just the garden area), but I have named it "The Garden of Eatin'."Nice job with the garden too....!
Hahaaha.....Thanks.

Well, I grew up in a small town in Orygun (population 400) and most of my friends lived on farms (400... my friends called me a "city" kid ). I learned a lot from them (and their fathers) and most summers I worked picking berries and later (when I got bigger), bucking hay. So you could say I was "exposed" to farming, but was never a farmer myself. I was way too into high tech and science and math and all that stuff.
Lannie, however, was a real city girl (grew up in Porkland, OR), and even though she had mostly office-type jobs (worked for moving companies and was an office manager at a couple places), farming has always been a dream of hers, so she studied it a lot.
I had driven out here to buy this place and took lots of pictures and we discussed whether this place would meet our "desires," then decided to go for it. Then we moved to the middle of nowhere (welcome to Beautiful Downtown Maurine, South Dakota, a ghost town, population 2 - us). We already had horses (we brought three with us) and dogs and cats. We talked with neighboring ranchers after we got settled in, then Lannie found a guy who was experimenting with cross-breed cows (dairy and beef, you get milk and the cow can survive the cold better), so we bought Bandit, who was recently impregnated. Thus began the learning cycle, and we made a lot of mistakes, but Lannie was wise enough to join KFC (Keeping a Family Cow forum) and picked everyone's brains until she became a cow expert. Because Lannie is also an egg fanatic, we bought chickens, who made more chickens.
The farming expertise is primarily Lannie's area. I am just the hired hand. I lift heavy objects and shoot things that don't belong here. I can build and repair fences and outbuildings, do electrical wiring as needed, mow the weeds, till the garden, help her with whatever she needs, but this is her baby and I just provide the support.
Yeah, store-bought eggs don't stand a chance against our fresh ones.fresh organic eggs are important

So, now that some geologists are predicting part of the big island might fall into the ocean, are you sure you want to move?
FBS is like that.Happens to me a lot. Can't seem to stay up much after a full belly. Then wake up and am up off and on all night. Must have something to do with getting older. Sleeping habits are changing.
It is a genetic thing that women use to help control us?Men seem to be particularly susceptible to FBS. Wonder why that is?
ETA: Mornin' y'all...
Never was into watching sports but still suffer from FBS.I was thinking more along the lines of learned behavior - happens from over-exposure to football games...
