Thanks Barrett, I've just been messing around changing band-sets, and sorting out some fibre-optic sights, which I don't intend to use!
My AC helped out
That sounds fun my friend, I suspect someone would call the cops if I got seen with a BB gun
Good for Eleanor
When I was looking for backstop ideas on Google image search, one of the photos linked to a U.K. article titled, “Garden Airgunning — Is It Legal?”
LOL!
I cook with sherry, but I don't even like the good stuff
The same guy that gave me the port or sherry or whatever it was once gave me a bottle of Hungarian Tokaji. That was some cloyingly sweet stuff!
I think he sang that when I saw him in Leeds Barrett
I’d imagine so, Jack. He’s had two solo albums since splitting from Old Crow Medicine Show, so he doesn’t have a huge catalogue of songs. On the other hand, I also wouldn’t be surprised if he plays some old folk stuff that he hasn’t recorded when he does a live show. Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to see him play live on his own. I had tickets to see him in Phoenix, but I bought them before we moved to MN, and the show was a month after we moved.
Thanks pal, I imagine that the sculptor didn't have a rosy future based on that example of their work
Apparently, it dates back to the early 19th century, and there was originally a copper cup mounted on a chain above the 'dog's head
That was sculpted?
I just assumed it was a natural formation that was named after something that it vaguely resembled.
Thanks for the compliment Barrett! I enjoyed the version of Midnight Special from your link. It’s great to see you and your Hartshead here my friend!
Glad you enjoyed it, Ron!
13, 12, 9, and 6 (7 on the 30th). They all love it and it is great. We started with little books when the oldest were young—Arnold Loebel, Bill Peet, C.S. Lewis, as well as some simple series like The Magic Tree House. We have also enjoyed the Redwall series, the Chronicles of Prydain series, all of the N. D. Wilson books, and my favorite—Tolkien. A surprise was Andrew Peterson’s Wingfeather Saga, which was really good.
My wife reads to my daughter (4) while I’m reading to the boys and my youngest son usually goes with her and then comes in with us. I’m looking forward to when my daughter is old enough to join in the bigger books, as she LOVES to be read to. She loves Beatrix Potter and pretty much any animal book.
That’s great, Joshua. I just recently started reading bits of longer books to Eleanor (4 years old) before bed every night. Our first was
The Hobbit, which we finished last week.
We left on the 18th to go camping for two weeks. A real mix of weather, cool and cloudy, then ~89" and humid, and finally a couple of nice days, all in the first week. Then the forecast looked ugly for week two, so we came home last Sunday. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was nothing but cold weather and ice storm! A lot of trees and limbs came down, and a lot of folks lost power, and still quite a few still out. We had a 5kw generator ready to go, but we didn't need it, so we took it to a young couple we know who have two young ones, they are still using it.
So we've been doing lots of cleanup, probably will be helping out some that are elderly or who don't have a chainsaw.
Henry ready to go!
Campsite set up.
The little trailer our son made, it's maiden voyage.
Little walks we took...
Big'un hanging around...
Refreshments, then a fire.
Have a great Sunday!
Great photos, Dennis! Sounds like a good time!
It's a confusing situation here
Leeds is currently subject to what they're calling "Tier 2" restrictions", but was due to go into "Tier 3" on Monday. That's now been cancelled, and we'll remain in Tier 2 until Thursday, when we'll go into a "national lockdown", though that varies significantly from the previous "national lockdown", and there are different restrictions in England to Scotland and Wales, for example. I doubt one person in 20 understands what they are and aren't supposed to do
Thanks my friend, I'll try
…
Turns out we're going into a "national lockdown" on Thursday now instead Dennis
Hard to know what's going on from day to day
It certainly hasn't been an easy year has it?!
Who’s on first?
Morning Guardians. It's Monday.
Trying to spool myself up with a brew.
Hope everyone's well.
Yeah, I was expecting a mug you needed an engine jack to pick up, so was quite surprised when I got it home, opened the box, and it almost floated off.
They do cake deals like that on Leigh market. I should drag myself over there before it all goes to pants.
I like that mug, David!
It looks a bit similar to this mug I ordered from Laphroaig a few years back, which was also thinner/lighter than I’d usually prefer.
I love Henderson's, but as a company, I think they're idiots!
Historically, weighted sticks were very traditional for hunting squirrels here. You can still shoot them with a catapult if you have the permission of the landowner I think. When I was a kid, the park-keeper would pay you ten bob a tail!
I just read there's discussion about reintroducing the bounty in Wales, but paying £1
It’s too bad they can’t regrow their tails like a lizard, you could have a replenishing income source (assuming you could catch ‘em alive, of course).
I had to look that up to Jer, very interesting
I think the squirrel info might have been in a book by Jack Cox (who definitely deserves a wikipedia entry!). I'll see what I can turn up
Hey, if you get some extra time on your hands with the lockdown, you could always write one!
It’s been a while since I had any kind of donut. I don’t usually go for the filled ones, but right now it sounds pretty good!
The horror!
If that was back home in Arkansas, the schools would all be closed, cars would be abandoned in ditches and there wouldn’t be a single loaf of bread, gallon of milk or carton of eggs left on the store shelves (pandemic or no).

. I thought they'd go nicely with your Hartshead and keep it company. Enjoy and rest easy.
