I’m really lucky. No monkeys and somehow no squirrels. Squirrels will go through and take 20 tomatoes, take one bite of each, and just drop them on the ground. I think it’s because my property used to be one of the top Akida breeders in the world. They had about 2 dozen dogs here. I think their scent must still remain.

My next door neighbor loses a chicken to Fox every 3-4 months. 5 years and not a one. We’ve had deer and elk jump the fence but the coyotes stay away. We did have a rabid skunk this spring. He died when he drowned in the neighbors goldfish pond.

I use the pigs to clean up the orchard. Makes them taste better too when the time comes.

the place is right off of 108 in twain harte, so from nevada you'd come over the Sonora pass to get to where I will/might be. as suggested previously here some months ago when I finally land a place any of the MPF regulars are more than welcome to visit, even pnutz. although when we were in proximity in the bay area nutz had an open invitation to stop by for a look over of my carb'd car and to go for a ride but he was too scaaaared to take me up on it. things nutz does not understand like carbs on a 911 or social interaction in person, or the internet are out of his comfort zone so he never took me up on it.


regarding the avatar photo: you go to "user CP", to avatar and you can upload a photo as long as it's less than 50x50 pixels. you need to resize any photo to less than that for it to work. regarding my updated shot, that's me in my going out outfit. shaved my beard off so lost that image. love me some long toes boots!

Yup.

I wonder if Sugar realizes that the faster he shifts that 915 without the "pause", the more $$$ it will cost him.

if i recall, there was a video some time ago he put together of how to shift thru the gears. i don't think he ever cracked 3500 RPM's, and he definitely wasn't wearing out his gearbox...

Making the 1-2 shift below 4000 rom speeds up wear on the gearbox.

Berns, 73.4 F is nice, but I fookin' hate humidity (anything above 20% sux ass, and means that my super-duty, homebuilt a/c rigs are running, even if cold outside, to dry that shiit out!). Strange that I live in such a nasty, sticky sweatbox, I know!

Autumn you say? Is that when the highs are in the lower 90s around here?!?!

it's a dry heat up this way and it cools off nicely in the evening to get your sweaty places dried some. that is of course if you ain't all pnutz scarrrred to sleep with windows opened when there are lions, tigers and baaaars about.

do carbs run better in hot, moist humid air than thin dry, hot stuff? maybe I gotta rethink some things???

if all the inspections check out, well/septic and pest I should be in by the second week in sept.

maybe a Halloween party and we all dress like raw? big feather boas, tons of substance, inner cooler neck chains and big ass tails. bigger yir tail the better.
