I'm up, but still feel half asleep. I went fishing yesterday and walked up to a Canada goose sitting on a nest with 3 eggs. She made her nest right next to the creek and didn't move until I was about 15 feet away. I didn't see her until I got that close and at that point she hissed and started walking around with flapping wings. I always thought they flew north to nest. Next time I go there I probably see the chicks swimming in the water. Their nests right on the ground look awfully vulnerable to predators though.

Goose eggs are great! They're just a lot bigger than chicken eggs is all.

I'll be getting ready to head for the Smokies sometime tuesday or wednesday.

I've got my air conditioning working again so I'm a Happy Boy! It was getting a leetle warm over here Thursday and Friday (around 90).

I put some cool water in a squeeze bottle and squirted the weasel a couple of times as a precaution against hyperthermia -- they can't take temps much over 85, so I'm told.

I never can get close enough to the marmots to touch em, much less lick them (as if I'd want to).

Morning all!

Treebait your first Mother's day didn't go well? No massages or breakfast in bed? (none here either, don't feel bad =) ). Did get to spend a great day with my family and I got a really beautiful card, that kinda caught me off guard.
Got to have brunch w/ my mom and dinner w/ the mom-in-law. I don't know what we'll do next year when the step-mom-in-law will be living in the area too!

Good Morning, Well, today is the supposed to be the last dry day in the next 5 days to come. What's up with that? A nice long weekend and it's supposed to rain each day. We do need the rain, but too bad it couldn't rain and just leave.

Good morning all, it started raining yesterday early morning and has been socked in ever since. We needed the rain to wash all the pollen out of the air, because a lot of us were getting near strangled from allergies.

Way too dry here in Flagstaff--but beautiful. We have a second story portch that we spend a lot of time on this time of year--nice place to be. Temps in the low 80s today which is pretty warm for us. Nobody has air conditioning here--just fans.

kewl, nice suggestion i am playing it now



Feel like throwing in the towel don't be a fool
They're out to knock you out, put you down
For the count
Watch the left, watch the right, below
The belt
They'll run you round and round it's plain to see
It's never gonna stop they'll run ya till you drop
There ain't no power around can keep a good man down
Chorus 2:
There's still some fight in me
That's how it'll always be
Hold your head up high, look 'em in the eye, never say die
Get up and make it work
You say that love has got you down well that's bull
If love has got you down then love can pick you right back up
There ain't no power around can keep a good man down
Walking down a dead end street
No mercy at your feet
They're holding all the cards, making things so hard, before it goes too far
Get up and make it work
Get up and make it work
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Get up and make it work
Get up and make it work
Get up and make it work
get up and make it work
