Now you've done it, MF.

If I DIY (Do It Yourself) shouldn't I say I DIM (Do It Myself)?

No. I'm more of a DIFM (Do It For Me)

Husband is going to Vegas in a couple of weeks for the National bowling tournament. This morning he says to me, wouldn't it be nice if the garage was all cleaned up and looking nice when I get back? I responded with, who are you paying to do it while you're gone? Yeah I got a million of 'em.

Fun facts about Bluebirds
- Pretty to look at
- Pretty to listen to


- If you leave a car in the driveway, you will also find that Bluebirds poop approximately 437 times their body weight every 24 hours.

This winter, multiple flights of migratory Robins overwintered in the bamboo groves that surround my house, 700 to 1,000 birds, I'm guessing.

Talk about guano, when it was above freezing I could smell it at dusk. They went out in groups to forage at dawn and came back to my groves to crash every evening. They were here for around three months, kinda gross, poop wise, but otherwise fascinating and amusing.

Those birds also had a social agenda, lots of flitting around and chirping at dusk, maybe pairing off for the next nesting season, saying Hi to former nest mates, who knows?.

[shrug] Sounds sub-optimal.

But, face it, the trend is for migratory species to be...less migratory.
So, prepare to bow to your avian crapmasters.

Chirp!

 

[Dland]

Nah, they were all gone by sometime in March. There have always been a couple of nesting pairs here, and there are no more than that this year. The local ornithologist told me the ones that overwintered here looked like northern Robins, likely nesting in Canada. Same species, but slightly larger & more robust build.

Is kind of a song bird sanctuary around here though, with the bamboo, pond, intermittent trees. The fact I keep the Icterids from dominating the place helps too.

Pizza place playing music: soft pop hits from the 70s 80s & 90s

Me: ug. Can they play worse music?

Air rifle (Benjamin Marauder), idealy just discourage them from nesting here, which works for a lot of them, they are not stupid birds. Might seem a bit extreme, but one year the place became a Grackle rookery, the mess and noise of fledglings, which kind of sound like the creatures on Mars Attacks was grating. The die was cast when they ganged up and started pulling all other species of birds in yard from their nests.

 

[day_trippr]

Ugh. Grackles are the worst. They tend to have stupid large flocks and make more noise than any species I'm familiar with, plus they have no redeeming visual quality. Fortunately we're only on their migration path - from somewhere else to somewhere else

Some of the lagers I made this winter....effin sublime. Got to remember it is a work night.

hmmm, i was just at work yesterday complaining my belt is in between notches and my pants were slipping off.. but i couldn't tighten the belt because it would be a bit too tight...the problems us skinny people have to deal with!

huh? i'd be sure to at least drink 7-8, that way when i get up i actually felt good and WANTED to go to work..i hate going to sleep sober!


(my random drunken thought to sum this up! HAHA, i must be the most envied, i mean hated person here! )

 

[GrogNerd]

i hate going to sleep sober!

me also, except with what they just made legal in the Commonwealth last year

damn, if you're talking ganj i can only handle a joint every 3-4 years, the green turd monster doesn't agree with me...

 

[GrogNerd]

ifn you ever get anywhere near Dulles Airport, we can hoist pints & puffs

we have 35 breweries here in LoCo (+ >40 wineries, 3 distilleries, 3 cideries, 3 meaderies, but no absintheries or sakagura. yet)

& we have to go do DC to get "gifts"

LOL, the last time i smoked i joint i think was 2010...the last day i went with out a drink was back in 2013.. i doubt i'd be willing to sport the price of the 'gift' though, living in mendocino, i was surrounded by 'farmers'... (and the poor saps footing the bill, living on the streets)

 

[GrogNerd]

sometimes I forget which states it's legal in.

for now, recreational possession in Virginia is legal, but not sale or purchase. so, we have local dispensaries, but only for medical purposes

what are they charging?

 

[GrogNerd]

3-tier system at the one we go to

Elite(Connoisseur), Elevated & Enthusiast(Entry)

for 1/8... $75, $55 & $40, respectively

 

[bracconiere]

for 1/8... $75, $55 & $40, respectively

i hate drug dealers..........so for the entry level even some 'man of the people, great guy for selling drugs'...would make 15,000+ for growing one plant huh? in my head that's total b/s... i once bought a cheapo LED grow light and manged to get 1/8 for $4 in electricity...

 

[GrogNerd]

I can barely keep this effin thing alive

 

[bracconiere]

yeah well my homegrow was loose and airy....and honestly i gave it away, because i was just experimenting to see how much i'd get for how much money...

maybe you need one of these for that thing?

automatic watering bulb....maybe they make an adapter for that water bottle?

 

[GrogNerd]

tried the auto watering bulb. to be effective, the spout has to be very narrow

too narrow to fill at the sink. waste more water trying to fill the ****** than they're worth

but no worries... in 2 weeks we'll be gone for a 10 day vacation* & it will definitely be dead by the time we get back

*4 days in beautiful, downtown Columbia, MD for the M3 Rock festival & another 6 days in N'awlins

 

[bracconiere]

there you go.... we'll save that poor plants life! just hook it up to a 2 liter....in fact i'm going to order them now for myself, see how it works.....

but here's what i ordered, i didn't want to order more from amazon just to meet their minimum $25 order policy....

if they work, i might have to get more house plants! at least if they work at all, i'll know when to water? i've drown plants, i've not watered them for weeks....


at least will be a visual indicator....

 

[GrogNerd]

that looks interesting, I will look into it

don't need 24, though. that's the only plant we have

I hate it. I didn't ask for it, didn't want it, wife got it for some reason from her bestie & I got stuck with keeping it alive.

i only have three...but they need the juice, and i'm like al bundy, and it would be nice if they just pulled into self service!

Why can you pick your friends and pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose?

 

[bracconiere]

i guess i griff in the bathroom, screaming let the indians kill her! or better yet....

 

[bracconiere]

Why can you pick your friends and pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose?

i guess because you didn't learn to become a ear nose and throat doctor?

 

[GrogNerd]

the word we're looking for here is "otolaryngologist"

Knock it off with the "I had a pour" and "I did a pull" and "I poured a dram" and all the other pretentious garbage.
Just...too...much.
Don't be sheep, people.

who's going to be the first to try this in a batch?

 

[balrog]

People have already used Oreos and cupcakes.

Whatever makes you think nobody has ever used this?

"Without experimentation there is no innovation", me, just now.

 

[GrogNerd]

only been available for 6 months, someone may have tried it

Like razzberry syrup in a Berliner, just add a small squirt to any beer. I may get some of this to keep on the club bar at the So Cal Homebrew fest this weekend.
