The orioles are back eating my grape jelly. A bit dark in my porch this morning. Very cloudy.

This is a female northern oriole.

I bought a new fishing reel. It came with 20lb line. I stripped it off and cut it into sections for the orioles to make nests with. They love it and other birds use it too.

Morning all it can stop raining any time now cause the 34 needs to go for a cruise, and I need to do some dirt fishing and work on the HDL, Russia is sending us pictures from the ISS.

Most of moisture in this rain event has been late in the day, and overnight.
They were forecasting 2" overnight.
We got over a 1/2" the night before.
But nothing is drying up in the fields.
Delayed planting

Crazy cloudburst yesterday, my street was like a river. Now it's like a creek bed. Can't figure out where all these rocks came from.

Thanks.

Hopefully it's OK to post this link -- that has easy screen references to set it up. If the link doesn't work, search "Garys XP Deus 2 Tekkna program".

I entered the real estate world today. As in all things there are.... some dumb asses in the field. Selling my Dad's place, double wide mobile in a nice 55 and older park. They Mom and Dad sold their old mill house on 1 1/2 acres years ago. It had a view of the Port and mouth of the river. It was an old little house , tiny bathroom (1) old windows, 1 wall heater and a fireplace. Poorly insulated and on a hill with a tough road and driveway. When we moved to Brookings-Harbor in 1969 they paid 16,000 dollars for it. Sold it for 400 thousand! I suggested move in to a mobile home park, no yard maintenance, modern home, great heat, nice sized rooms. For years around here people would buy a new manufactured home....mobile home is what the older ones are called..and put it on property. I would have my friends company install/set the home and then I would build decks, garage's, shops etc.

Nice! In today's dollars, that 16K would be $139,421.91 -- too bad they don't take that into account for capital gains taxes.

The house sale was there first so that helped with the taxes, and a lot of it was cash....so...

So, if anyone asks, you must have miscounted.

As I look at my guitars and ask.... Can you help me out?
DAMN!!!
