All you coffee hounds out there will love this. I'm just now having my first cup (11:15am) because I woke up to immediate drama and the police calling and parked at the end of my driveway. The SOB property mgmt co. next door is clearing out their parking lot with a front loader and dumping it over the fence on to my property and surrounding neighbors' yards. This is illegal, dangerous and constitutes a fine. And I can't even get out of my house to walk to the end of the driveway. Talk about that helpless feeling!
They took my mother for $2000 removing a beautiful, healthy Royal Palm from her back yard. They convinced her it was diseased and needed to be removed. Then they illegally dumped it next to a gas station around the block. Unfortunately, her neighbor arrived when most of it was gone and could do nothing but give them hell. The Royal Palm is Florida's signature tree and you need permission to cut them down. My mother was subject to a fine but they cut her slack under the conditions. The police got involved as well as Florida's tree preservation dept. Because they talked my mother into writing a check out to cash, the police could not trace it back to the damn culprit.

I still get hot under the collar thinking about it. My nephew(a grown man) and I both cried over the loss of that tree that we used to sit under and share drinks and conversation.


Wow..those are both highly fucked-up scenarios. :(

Hope ya stay safe and can get out ok...
WTF do they think they're doing anyways?? Not like they can't be seen doing it. o_O

Made a salad. :)

Pre-mixed


During Munching:


Ingredients: Iceberg lettuce, summer sausage, sharp cheddar, cucumber, green olives and very thinly sliced Orange Hab bits.
Dressed with bacon ranch, garlic pepper, a pinch of chopped Cilantro and a drizzle of EVOO just because. (it absorbs the hab heat and spreads it around. It's also good for ya)

;-)~ =)

Nobody cares anymore. Boston spent 20 yrs and moola money cleaning up it's harbor. We now have whale sightings and harbor seals coming in but they're debating whether they should dump the snow in the harbor. There's just no room. The snow is toxic with chemicals, of course. We have a big dumping ground outside the city and two giant snow melters that NY lent us and surrounding states jumping in to help, plus 500 National Guard. Too bad we're not closer to the midwest because I know we would be getting some damn good experienced help.

Enough of all that. Hi CaFF, good to hear from you:)!!!

Gorgeous! No hating here. I don't trust myself with nice wood mods, but I am thinking about one of the resins that REO is making soon. :)
Between lemon oil and resin...your Woodvil will last forever.

I drop stuff, put something on a table and my very large dog bumps into it and dominoes everything...that's why LD got the woodvil. It was just sitting in a safe place, unused. The resin ones that he's making are CNCd just like the woodies, from blocks of resin. Cool colors, not as pricey (probably) and not as dent-able.

At least there's not much snow out there. Wondering if it's even worth making the rounds.

Where you at?

Eastern WA.
It should be about 20 degrees colder and with half a foot of snow. IDK, it's weird.

Weather looks good by you @CaFF.

Yup, I can't complain. :)

Tiki is a bit confused about it.

I opened the window blinds for her to get on the ledge, sit and look-see.
She usually loves it but isn't sure what to think...looks warm but is chilly by the window.

Way to heavy to be an ADV if I'm honest.

Totally unacceptable! Not only are those majestic and a symbol our sandpile state. they're SACRED in some religions.
That would make me dig out my wristrocket slingshot and marbles for sure. And $2000! SOB rip offs too.

Fucked up indeed. But as far as being seen goes, a guy I know always says, "If you act like you know what you're doing people will treat you accordingly."

Yuppers.

Reminds me of this quote:


It's pretty true in many kinds of behavior, I've found. Act like you belong, and people will think you do. ;)
