Maggie’s What's Your View II

[1J04]

Beautiful....what are you seeing in those flowers?

Are you Audubon or Georgia O'Keefe?

Ha, I was thinking about all that while putting around the yard and just enjoying the incredible view of the simple things we have that are taken, unfortunately, for granted more often than not. When I was into photography I always enjoyed macro for some reason over panoramic. The little intricate things we often miss from afar that require a closer examination to fully appreciate exactly what you're really looking at. In short, just Larry being Larry.

I'm glad you enjoyed them as well my friend. You as well have a beautiful piece of property and I bet if you looked a tad closer with a lens you'd be surprised even more so of the beauty you're surrounded by. Thanks again for expressing your enjoyment, it makes the whole point valid.

Yeah....Im a Georgia O'keefe kind of guy myself......

Glad you’re up and moving around ??

 

[Mike Casselton]

Love the macro stuff Larry.
On our honeymoon a few years ago, Rebecca and I stopped for a picnic lunch. Decided to snap a few pics and noticed these flowers.
In the upper flower you can see an insect. I tried a closer pic but he wasn't having it.

This lizard didn't mind. Alafia river in the background.

Michigan summer flowers.

Beautiful Pics Mike and thanks for sharing the story and photos. Very nice !!! I'm surprised nobody noticed this...........

 

[Mike Casselton]

I'll have a look on a bigger screen. It doesn't show up well on the phone.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Couple more while at Lowe's.

You in a thong? You are one sick puppy. Walking around your yard half nekkid!

Did not know that Hunters Inn had a garden???

Damn, everyone I know that had those had at least one expensive trip to the ER.

Thank you Larry. I appreciate your help with the riff raff.

I was told today they are a major "fly" hazard.

I can expect to see it doing the imitation of Dorothy's house in Wizard of Oz if I dont get anchors.......

Guess it makes sense for me then. I get a good deal on ER visits.......
$300 copay. And waved if admitted. No deductible.
I just have to use my companies docs and hospitals.
Some copay for specialists, but I dont need them, yet....

Banged my hand hard on a propane cylinder yesterday after getting it filled. Keeping an eye for cellulitis or a destroyed shoulder......?. Those things ARE dangerous!

My friend had her knee replaced for $40 out of pocket for the “pre surgery” visit to the specialist.

 

[Lapuapalooza]

I’m surprised you are admitting a propane bottle injury in a place like this...

 

[powdahound76]

More of a couple small scrapes on my hand. I just washed it up with some soap and called it good.

Just messing with Schartz

My ex special forces buddy bought little cash a shirt with his old unit, the night stalkers on it. Cash can home with this book from the library today...

[Mooseknuckles]

Those momma does should be dropping some little ones here soon.

 

[1J04]

Exactly. If they remain close here they have a good chance of Yotes not killing them off. They're chasing each other around the yard right now.?

Doc had no patients yesterday. Doc enjoyed y'alls pictures.
Today, Doc had one terminal patient.

@Waorani
Bob Mount might be disappointed today.

@CMH
Dis snek fit two categories.
a. Copperhead Snek
b. Dead Snek...

He was too close to the work area...

Maybe he thought he could mate with the long hose feeding red. Bad judgment.. Ded...

Not to be a glutton, but I'll have another serving.. ?

 

[Slo cat]

Woke up this morning to this. Spring time in the Rockies, at 8,200', just west of Denver. The tomato stakes will have to wait.

Now I will have to plow.

 

[powdahound76]

I think the “Doctor” likes treating these sneks.......

Cant say I disagree.

Bob got bit by a copperhead, holding one and not paying attention while talking to a group of schoolkids!

Familiarity breeds contempt... Bob was a nice guy, friends with my Dad, but I thought he was a little spacey... I can see him getting bit like that.
I may get bit b4 life ends. Been hit a dozen times or so, but, no teeth got through the layer... and I was being careful....

Looks like Powda is the only one to have done so in recent history........

So..... empty propane bottle...... top open, let air out a month or so...... drill hole, tig weld a plate drilled and tapped for spark plug....
Check for leaks.....

Then.....

A 9v piezo igniter would have been much easier.
Just sayin.

Yeah texted a couple buddy’s to see what the hell happen but no response yet. Could get ugly if they don’t get it out.

IF.... you make it too easy for 1J...... he will seriously hurt himself.... just sayin....

Damn! I reached out to. Waiting for responses.

I'm doing my best.?

 

[Badfinger]

is that a bag house or collector burning at Weyerhaeuser?

 

[1J04]

Planer Mill section. Ladder coming from Grays Harbor to assist.

 

[Mooseknuckles]

Just a saw dust bin on fire, no buildings. Buddy said they are pumping water on it and reverting the chips to another bin. Should be up and running tonight.

 

[Threadcutter308]

I'll bet you $100.00 that an electric motor caught on fire in the collector. I spent 25 years in the motor drive industry and it was very common to see cast iron motors in sawmills with the cooling fins so clogged and caked with sawdust that you couldn't even see them. If they have to, they'll just dump the chips on the ground. They don't want to do that for very long though. Depending on market conditions, sometimes the chips bring in more money than the lumber.

This is a dimensional lumber mill. If it had been a plywood/veneer mill, you'd be looking at nothing more than concrete foundation by now. If the veneer catches on fire in the dryers, poof ! up she goes !

 

[Mooseknuckles]

From what my buddy said, it sounds like a feeder bearing,

 

[Mooseknuckles]

I did buy a new wrench today.
2 1/2 Mac wrench. My tool cart is 42 inch wide by the way ?

 

[1J04]

Wonder why my guy said Planer Mill. His BIL is there. Weird. But ya, should be good to go. Lycly.

Could be in the planner mill side of the mill?
I talked to a couple old timers around here and years back that same saw dust bin exploded. Kinda like a grain silo affect.

 

[Threadcutter308]

From what my buddy said, it sounds like a feeder bearing,

Yep, coulda been that too......tsk, tsk. Poor maintenance if that's what the root cause was. Bearings catching on fire is never a good thing and those types of things don't happen overnight.
