the 250 pound nurse dressed in skin tight neon Lycra on the Connondale

You paint a picture that truly needs no film. Seriously!

 

[day_trippr]

In other news: Squall line comes, power goes. And stays gone.

Sigh...

 

[day_trippr]

Power still out but we persevere through kerosene lamps, a freakishly potent battery pack, and the tender mercies of VZW, to bring you this news from "Meffa"...

1:56am in Wilbraham was like being 6 feet behind a fleet of C5As at Westover throttled up for takeoff. 3/4 of the town was out of power at one point.

I had to get up to check on the important things.

Like my fermentation chamber.

 

[day_trippr]

We were out from 11 last nite to 6 this morning. Lucky it was such a warm night...

Might ward off the fing Hausfrau texting as she drives down Bay Road and didn't see the 250 pound nurse dressed in skin tight neon Lycra on the Connondale that she just biffed into the woods.

Good idea'

Switch Hausfrau to just about any pickup truck, nurse to retired IT Physicist, lose the lycra (I'll to the colorful loose fitting Spotted Cow bike jersey), and change the Cannondale to a Trek, and there I am.

Still biffed into the woods.

And now to pivot to all things entomological. I just thwapped 3 of these in the warming sunny window and suspect the latest batch of fireplace wood…

(No, no, I’m not about to eat them, the fork was simply handy)

Add balrog to the growing list of threats to pollinators.

Wait - what are those, and wth are they doing out and about this early in the year?

This, then, would be the point.

 

[Dland]

Can I thwack other creatures that show up around here earlier in the year than they are supposed to? I would love to do that,, hehe,, oh yes I would.

Anyway 'rog, entomocidal is not entomological. By the way, your fork is dirty, not all of us are here on tiny screens, and have a good weekend, I know you did not intend to be evil.

 

[day_trippr]

lmao!

Something died or shat in the wood pile I suppose.

Tappin' season

Dakota! How they hangin', lad?

Saggin low buddy!

 

[homebeerbrewer]

That's what bras are for.

 

[day_trippr]

A whole new meaning to "cross dresser" I reckon...

 

[balrog]

Everyone out there still above water with all the rain?

<lookin at you @Hoppy2bmerry >

 

[day_trippr]

The outflow pipe from our pond is running at a good clip and there are some deep puddles around.
We must have had a crapton of rain overnight...

Thanks for thinking about me. I’m in the land of Elvis right now, and when hubby and I travel, we leave our vehicles in the driveway which should save them from the rain. I checked the accumulation on line last night seemed like a quarter to third inch was all. This morning 3.5 is the report. I don’t go home to a show. I do know the house itself will be fine. On the plus side I haven’t seen Facebook blowing up with disaster pics and there were no costal flood warnings.

I think I found an early photo of Mr Trippr:

 

[day_trippr]

Lol! But, for accuracy, it needs to portray a much much younger me, as I got my first electric shock at the age of 6

Nowadays I serve to keep surgeon skills sharp. I'm literally in Recovery at MGH right now after revision surgery to the knee they cut last May. Fun!

Cheers!

Well that sucks, here's to a speedy recovery.

 

[day_trippr]

6 to 8 weeks and I should be "normal"

Your knee should be ready by then, right?

 

[day_trippr]

Probably. Though if it was all still bloody 'n' nasty I might have a leg up on the competition

Today I did yard work. There are some folks who revel in that. They take great pride in the results of their efforts, and get rejuvenated souls from tending the soil and fluffing the mulch. They achieve zen like heightened consciousness, and a feeling of oneness with Nature.

My herniated discs, arthritic knees and I are not those folks. I do not like to pick up sticks. It is not how I get my kicks. My back post pickup requires a fix. No, I do not like to pick up sticks.

Today’s Seuss-ish zen moment is brought to you by @Miraculix classic English ale.

It’s what’s for lunch.

 

[day_trippr]

Yeah, I am with you. Lumbar fusion does impact bending to pick stuff up, gots to use my old knees even more. And with one of them bound for surgery with recovery likely through the end of April I had to get to my annual brush burn last week, so lots of branch picking and raking and lifting piles to get to the burning. Got 'er done though!

Cheers!
