    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I found a couple pix from 2014 showing how much the birds love a good water feature. This feature was set up in our front tree island. It eventually rusted through and was trashed. :sneaky: Renovating that tree island has been a major project over the winter and is still ongoing. My wife...

    I learned that they're very particular about their housing requirements. They want the bluebird house mounted 6 to 8 feet above the ground, facing southeast. And they prefer that it look over a field or open ground. They also need water nearby and we keep plenty of water dishes out front. So...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    A pic I took late this morning on a windy, rainy day through a rainy window some 70 feet away, of the male Eastern Bluebird on his favorite limb overlooking "His Domain." He and his lady are nesting in our new box at its new location, planted per bluebird specs. :D

    Been a little cold.

    Took my boat over to my neighbor's house a couple days ago so that he could help me with some wiring under the dash. It was a beautiful Spring evening with blue skies, greening grass and blooms on trees. But, we're having a cold front moving through today and temps will drop down into the 30s...

    I first got hit with allergies on a fine spring morning in 1992 while I was living in Maryland. I woke up and my nose exploded. Went to the doc and got meds. Stayed on them until I moved down here to Florida. Got here in 1998, but didn't have any allergies... for a few years. Then my body...

    This Pileated Woodpecker visited yesterday afternoon. I took the pic while sitting on my couch in the living room, through the window, about 70 feet away. He did a number on the underside of that branch, then went topside and dug in deep. :cool:

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    After 4 months, I'm back. 😁 Got plenty of outdoor work done on the ol' homestead while the weather was cool/cold. It's starting to warm up now, so I switched back to the boat. I'm concentrating on the boat and will continue until it's done and on the water again. Back on Post #284, I was...

    New Stuff on Vehicles likes/dislikes

    I took my '22 Santa Cruz in for an oil change back in October. Ended up trading it in and leasing a '26 Santa Cruz which has a normal automatic transmission instead of the problematic dual clutch transmission in the '22. And last week Hyundai discontinued the Santa Cruz entirely. The '27 will...

    We had flurries at our place last night. The first time my Filipina wife had ever seen them. Got down to 19 degrees this morning. 🥶
