We absolutely did it. We also shot "hoppergrass" heads (plantain) at each other.

Our mature Transparent apple tree under attack by Japanese Beatles. Transparent apples are used here solely for homemade applesauce. I've treated twice now in 2 weeks with a fruit tree insecticide (even closer together than the label recommends) but fear I've lost the fight. My view today...with me waving my white flag faster than the French.
Propane Boy: Not near enough meat on that hook for me, and I do have a RBF look about me. Been that way for a long time. I think it started the day that fucking firecracker went off in my hand.
Nichols: Sevin is the way. Bastards were destroying our canas until I nuked them Saturday. Back to blooming now.
BB: Damn! I thought a hook in the finger was bad, but I feel better now. Oh, and you are not a nose model, are you? Is the dog still alive, or can we talk about that?
I'm doing this just to keep the hapless from fucking it up completely in MS Paint.

Third cast this morning. 2 pound bass....
Mistakes made. Lessons learned.
Mistakes:
1. Not leaving enough slack in the line while trying to the fish off.
2. Not having my pliers.
3. Going fishing when I should have been snoozing on the couch.
After I got the fish off and released back to the pond I snipped the line and retreated to the house.
Used the side cutters and snipped the hook so I could pull it the rest the way through.
I thought my wife was gonna faint as she watched me do that, but it really wasn't that bad.

Yep, that's my ugly schnoz, sporting a new perforation from a canine tooth. It could've been a LOT worse: I felt the dog go stoopid a millisecond before it happened so I got most of my face out the way. I've been warned about sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, add a dog's mouth to that list of places.
And 1J04, nice try on the natural bait, but from recent pictures it appears the Virginian is hitting on artificial these days.
Did you bite him back?
Yeah, there's got to be more to this story...
Thanks for the unwarranted benefit of the doubt. Yes, I was a K9 handler, trainer, and kennel master, amongst a number of other dumb professions. Up until a few weeks or so ago I was training service dogs for disabled vets. This was a rescue dog that a friend of a friend of a friend had just adopted. The dog is less than 2yrs old and on its 3rd owner. That should've been a clue in itself.
I took a lot of the dog's craziness as being owner-induced and gave it too much credit. I never make that mistake with humans, but have a soft side for dogs. In this case it cost me a little pride and a bit of blood. The hole inside my nostril where the lower canine tooth got me is a much bigger nuisance, but there's a limit to the pics I'd subject y'all to.
Veer, it's tough to see in the pic, but is that a Cane Corso devouring the elk?
my finely tuned sense of "oh shit", developed over decades of doing dumb shit.
Only an MWD handler would recognize the "stealth" version, but yes, she is. No ears, no tail, the idiot we got her from didn't even have a "D" game, let alone a "B" one. We paid the price, though, as she's an epileptic. Mommy will have us eking out an existence in a KOA before she gives up on her, that's for sure.
Dry creek fire up here in Washington near Mt. Adams was less than 3 miles from the farm. Started out in a clear cut in about a 2 acre area and grew to 80 acres the first day then up to 500 acres the next day. It jumped the line and went across the road and they shut down the highway for a few days. Luckily for me the wind was blowing north toward Mt. Adams/Trout lake other wise I would have been in serious trouble. 3 helicopters and several planes have been dropping on the fire fire for 3 days.
We are still on a level one evacuation level so I had to pull out my stuff into my trailer just in case, what a pain. Looks like they finally have a handle on it, I hope.
Got a little concerned when the cattle started to hang out next to house in the middle of the day, they are wild as hell and don't like people and especially don't like my dog.
The wind in the gorge is great for kite boarding and shooting in but sucks for any fires.
It's something I haven't tried yet. My concern is that its primary function of keeping the house cool might be compromised in an extended drought.
I am going to add a coupling to the overflow and then cut it off at a level about 3 inches higher than it was originally. That should give me a considerable amount more water at full pool, but that won't likely happen until this Fall sometimes, unless there is a hurricane.
I'm mulling the irrigation options. I'd want something installed and put on a timer. Not into dragging hoses and sprinklers around.
i love a lush, green lawn as much as the next guy, but, a mid july lack of rain slows the nonstop mowing which i'm ok with. Enjoy the pond and let the grass crunch under your feet. It's not dead, just dormant. The cool fall rains will green it right back up.
I got back out there this morning and finished the cleanup. There was about 50 yards of banks that I didn't do yesterday.
Once I finished running the weedeater I did a little fishing.
As I was making around the pond I came to a spot where there was a LOT of buzzing noise. A careful investigation showed that I had somehow managed to weedeat over a nest of yellow jackets and somehow managed to get through there without a single sting.
Counting my blessings on this one. I'll check them out near sunset and see if I can find there they're going in, then deliver a care package.
Where are we at? Looks like a King Air 90? Don't recall them having a nacelle tank, but I've never flown one.

Mt Rainier, and you're correct, e90. It shares a cowling with other models so what you see is just used as an inspection cap for the 90
