Last Notes npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Getting older sucks... npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Several dozen vultures circling over my property... Either they found a really great thermal to climb, or the end of the world is nigh. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog He just did it again... npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog This fuckin' guy... Fur like velcro, and he has to roll in leaves and grass clippings every damn day. He's lucky he's awesome enough to be worth it. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Helmet For My Pillow, by Robert Leckie. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Let's talk about watering wands. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog That's really cool. I've been seeing more reptiles every year since I bought this place (10 years ago). The little green anoles and pink geckos are almost an infestation. Frogs and toads everywhere, too. I think that's one of the most satisfying things about developing this homestead, watching the wildlife increase and diversify. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Yet another neat ectothermic creature hanging out in my composting area. This one is a Texas spiny lizard, and he's copping a little bit of an attitude with that look. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Planted sunn hemp for the first time this summer as a cover crop in some garden beds. I knew it would grow tall, but I didn't expect the flowers to be such a beautiful shade of yellow! The photo doesn't do it justice, in person, in the sunlight, they're almost luminous. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Tiny adorable kittens are the trickiest trap in the book. They're irresistible, and trick you into loving them, allowing them to grow up and do all the a-hole things cats do. But by then, you're in too deep. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog More than a year ago, we built some Johnson-Su bioreactor bins and filled them with wood chips. They've been cooking along quite nicely and breaking down into an awesome soil amendment. I was watering them last night and saw that they're full of wee tiny baby frogs! I counted at least a dozen of the little guys. Nobody told me that this was a possibility, so now I have to postpone harvesting from the bins until the wee tiny baby frogs are all grown up and moved out! npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog What variety are those? npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I had a tooth implant installed today, and the dental assistant told me to try to avoid touching the stitches with my tongue. This is an impossible request. 95% of my brain power all day has been devoted to trying to control my tongue, and it ain't working... npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I set up a couple of large bins in the spring and filled them with leaves to make leaf mold compost. They've been breaking down all summer and are some beautiful compost now, but I found this guy making a home in one of them yesterday. Just a harmless green snake, but when you reach into a pile of leaves and feel slithering scales, your heart stops for just a second... He moved on up into the tree pretty quickly, and I harvested the compost much more carefully from then on. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog https://image.nostr.build/8e7cbdce6273c565c7082ad18fe9f031971b5308befd54b25ca46bf82a47e2a7.jpg npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I've been considering getting one to play with. Is the fan very noisy? npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Yesterday I was working in the front yard, cutting up some limbs that had fallen out of our pecan trees. Two of the neighbor kids ( are 4 and 6) came running over to "help". They enjoyed chopping up the smaller branches with loppers and then I taught them how to use a hand saw. Much fun. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I can't even begin to tally how many hours I of my youth that were spent on BBSes. I started out with a 300 baud modem on my Commodore 64, in 1985. Nothing was more frustrating than being 90% through an XMODEM download of some new game and someone in the house picked up a phone and kicked you off the connection! npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I couldn't agree more. I have had zero trouble with my Starlink in the year I've had it. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog It took me fifty years to suddenly realize that "critter" is just a colloquial version of the word "creature". npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog That's so infuriating! I know the feeling, after watching a tree trimmer guy pour gas into his chainsaw (and spilling plenty all over the ground) right under a 250 year old oak tree. Literally five or six steps away from a concrete driveway. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog 🤔 npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog 295kb on mine. Amethyst 0.88.4 on GrapheneOS. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Does the glass have sharp edges, or is it tumbled or something to smooth it down a bit? npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Okay, sure, he doesn't look terribly smart, but he's really a dog genius. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Have you tried staring at a brightly lit screen just inches from your face that contains limitless information, communication, and entertainment options? npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Pineapples aren't stocks. Technically, they're braces. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog You have days without a blue screen? npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Once you get Linux installed, this site is a good place to look to find suggestions for alternative software to replace the functionality of your Windows programs: npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog This is the way. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog This afternoon, I was out in front of the house working on transplanting seedlings. Two young men who work for a roofing company approached to ask about inspecting my roof for damage from recent hailstorms. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I use my dehydrator as an incubation chamber. Holds temperature really well, and can be dialed in fairly precisely. And a two gallon container will fit inside, so I can make a lot of yogurt at once. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I know all cats like cardboard boxes, but this little idiot has an unhealthy compulsive obsession. Literally any paper product left unsecured for 30 seconds is commandeered. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog My first thoughts are either a food grade drying oil like walnut oil, or homemade milk paint, both using finely powered charcoal as the pigment. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog https://www.bobwellsnursery.com npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog My inner Alex Jones is wondering if this isn't a setup to take Biden out next. He's traveling to Texas next week, wouldn't it be a great way for the powers-that-be to get him out of the way by killing him in a "red" state? And since someone took a shot at Trump today, they can have a pro-Trump patsy all ready to go, claiming "retaliation". npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog What a piece of crap. It doesn't even connect to the internet or have Bluetooth like all the latest Wal-Mart disposable appliances! 😉 npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I remember seeing Matt Frewer on some show maybe in the early 90s and thinking that he looked and sounded a LOT like Max Headroom. Then it clicked, and my childlike innocence died that day. Dude was just a foam rubber costume and editing tricks. I've never been able to trust anyone since. 😉 npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Loofah vines coming on strong this year. If you've got space for them to climb somewhere, they're a fun crop to grow every few years. They last a pretty long time in use, so a couple vines will provide a few years' worth of sponges, which store indefinitely once dried. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Same here. It's a great exercise to learn the ins and outs of the mechanics of the gun. Then I document it with photos showing the serial number for insurance purposes. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I don't know if it would do anything to stimulate root growth, but since honey has antibacterial and antifungal properties, it probably does help to keep the cutting from rotting before it can sprout roots. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog All I do is poke the cuttings into potting mix in 4-inch square pots, water completely, then put the whole tray of pots into a big clear plastic tub and place the lid on loosely. Put it in the shade where it can't get any direct sunlight (it's basically a mini greenhouse, so it'll get really hot inside if the sun hits it). Check it for moisture levels frequently to make sure it doesn't dry out, and they will probably be rooted in a month or so. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Very cool. What hardware are you using? npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Did you get a sourdough starter from someone or start your own? npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog The episode where he discovers "Baba O'Reilly" is just so dang good. It's rare to see a character who is good and innocent not just presented as such, and not just as the butt of a bunch of mean-spirited jokes. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I should note, this recipe requires 5% vinegar (white or apple cider) if you're going to put them up. Some vinegar out there is now 4%, thanks to "shrinkflation". If you use that weaker stuff, you can still put them up in the fridge, but they won't be shelf stable and safe to store at room temperature. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Pickled peppers are one of the easiest things to can, and they are such a great addition to the pantry. These are Mariachi peppers, one of my favorites. Good mild heat, great flavor, and very productive plants. Highly recommended. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I'll bet Kamala Harris is walking around the White House dropping copies of the 25th Amendment like she's throwing candy in a parade. Nobody's taking the bait... npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog The trick with onions is getting them in the ground as early as you can in your season, and choosing the right day-length varieties for your location. Onions start to bulb when the number of hours of daylight reaches a certain point (the actual number is determined by the genetics of the variety), so getting them in the ground and growing as far as possible before the days get that long is key to getting nice big onions. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog My guess is it's residue from the anti-abrasion coating they spray on glass bottles and jars when they're manufactured to keep them from getting scratched in handling. I don't know if Ball uses that process, but lots of glass container manufacturers do. It should wash off with soap and water, and it's a good reminder to always wash new jars well before using them. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I always make sure to revoke network permission for keyboard apps, but having one that doesn't even try to spy on you in the first place is a much better solution. I'll check it out! npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Looks like a water beetle larvae to me. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Still adorable so far. 😊 npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog This is my new favorite band (for now). If you like Southern style rock, like Drive-By Truckers or Lynyrd Skynyrd, you owe it to yourself to get Whiskey Myers into your life. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog This crape myrtle tree has been putting on a heck of a show this year. All of the crape myrtles around here have been impressive this spring, but this one drops those delicate white flower petals like snow into our backyard. Beautiful! npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I've never seen the movie, but the book is great. Another excellent one with similar themes is "Alas, Babylon", though that one is not quite so dark. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Wrangler's "Riggs" line of cargo pants are my go-to. I used to wear the Duluth firehose pants, but I grew to hate the pockets on those. The Riggs pants hold up to abuse nearly as well, and I find them more comfortable and better designed. The front of the legs is actually two layers of fabric, so if you wear through the outer layer of the knees, they're still usable, albeit no longer suitable for formal affairs, coronations, royal weddings, and such. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I gotta be honest, that actually looks like a lot of fun. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog This guy's videos should give you a quick primer on each step of the process. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I haven't seen canning done with a sous vide circulator before. How long do you process those for, and at what temperature? npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog It's definitely a repair that takes some time and skill. If you're going to attempt it, I recommend getting a piece of drywall and practice a little. It doesn't take that long to pick up the technique, but if you practice on something you can throw away, you'll have better results once you move to the real wall. The main difference between a great drywall guy and an amateur is the amateur takes five times longer and does a lot more sanding. 😉 npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog https://image.nostr.build/4ea568bad3f2e48244f81d7a5eb78ac6755d5da64444452f0c78bba4ca0caf53.jpg npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog One other thing, those joints are jacked up due to movement of the walls. The popped nails and sheared joints mean the walls have moved relative to each other. This might be normal long-term house settling or seasonal movement of, for example, heavy clay soil under the house, or it might be a more serious foundation or structural issue. If it's the latter, your repair will probably crack again as the movement continues to occur. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog You'll need to remove any loose tape and drywall compound, then re-tape the corners. That involves laying in a thin bed of drywall compound, laying the paper tape into it, and using a taping knife (like a big spatula) to smooth the tape into the compound and squeeze the excess compound out from under the tape. It will look like hammered shit at this point, don't panic. You let that dry, then apply a thin layer of compound over top, smoothing and feathering it out to blend into the wall. Let that dry, then sand it down smooth and apply another coat, feathering it out further this time. The goal is a seamless transition, so you may need several thin coats, sanding in between, to get it to look good. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I've tried several times you get started with Strike, but they wouldn't accept my bank account or any debit card I tried, so I was never able to get any fiat in to get sats out. Sounds like all I'm missing out on is the potential for headaches and bad customer service. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Great idea! I've got access to some vines that are loaded, I think I'll do the same thing... npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog My vote is for bottom left. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog This is an interesting old-school (19th century) book with lots of info on how they finished wood back in the day. A couple of caveats: some ingredients may be uncommon and hard to locate today (or go by different names now), and some of this may not meet modern ideas about safety. But it's an interesting book about techniques that have gone by the wayside in favor of polyurethane sprayed on particleboard... npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Normally butter, but for that recipe, being an Italian herb bread, I would try olive oil. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Yes, it's solid state. Samsung is regarded as one of the best solid-state drive makers. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Samsung T7 Shield. They cost about $100 for 1 terabyte. Nice pocketable size, with IP65 dust/water resistance. Very good transfer rates, and a durable rubberized case. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Whoever wrote that article is interpreting the situation all wrong. Bytedance isn't in denial, they're playing chicken, and they're betting that Biden will blink first. And they're probably right. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Heh, I totally get it. I can just picture two people standing there, slightly confused about the next step. "We used to have a guy for this, didn't we?" npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Do you have a recipe for the giardiniera, or do you just wing it? npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog The easiest message in the universe to communicate is telling a dog you've dropped something edible on the floor. You tap your toe near the item, and the dog eats it. This is universal; no dog, regardless of its intelligence level, fails to understand this. Even people who have never been around a dog will do this instinctively. It's *the* core element of the 60,000 year old cooperative agreement between humans and dogs. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Well, then, the birds around my place must be extremely happy. They usually get more than half the crop before I can! npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Give 'em 12 words on a piece of paper with no explanation. If they can figure it out, they deserve the sats. If they can't, sell them hints. 😉 npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog https://githubstats0.firebaseapp.com/ npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog GrapheneOS does have wifi calling, but whether it works or not depends on the mobile carrier. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Kind of a strange request, but okay: npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog You might investigate using vital wheat gluten to enhance your dough. It's gluten extracted from wheat and milled into a fine powder. A little goes a long way, like a tablespoon per loaf of bread, and it can really pump up the protein content to help make an airy, chewy loaf of bread. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I just harvested my first fig yesterday! It was the only one on the whole tree to ripen this early, so I don't know what's up with that. All the others are still quite green. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I've got a dog, but despite being a world-class jumper (relative to his short legs), he's not fast enough to catch them. Chasing them is one of the great joys in his life, though. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog The rabbits around here this year are out of control. There are tons of them, and they seem to have no fear whatsoever. Look at this cocky asshole, just lounging around like he's a lion on the savanna. Hey, dum-dum, you're a *prey* animal. Start acting like it! At least get out of the way so I don't have to step over you. We used to have an agreement where rabbits at least pretended to be afraid of people, but apparently they are no longer honoring that deal. Frankly, it's a little disconcerting to be stared down by a widdle bitty bunny wabbit like he's a gang leader in a prison yard... They're up to something, and I don't like it. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog https://image.nostr.build/2aec1ddab40bbf5de68ae721a5b9040ed831e5b657663fdf98cbf9fb6698a225.jpg npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I can smell this photo, and it's making me hungry. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Honestly, I'm kinda surprised it was only a 2:1 ratio. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog That's pretty slick if you have the right situation for it! npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog When your body is trying to heal from trauma or disease, isn't one of the most important things that you get plenty of protein so your body can build and repair tissues? I would expect this kind of food during recovery would result in poorer outcomes for patients. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I've been pretty disappointed by the lack of Nostr content focused on moving liquids from one container to another, so let's talk about "jiggle siphons". The name says it all, a jiggle siphon (aka safety siphon) is a magnificently simple invention that lets you get a siphon started by just jiggling it up and down a few times in the container you're trying to extract liquid from. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Me, too! A couple of years ago I left the front door open while I went out to tend the chickens and came back to a much bigger one hanging out on the umbrella stand in the entryway. Few things will get your heart pumping like an unexpected indoor snake... 😆 npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Yeah, the snake was under the bed, and the cat was *very* interested in killing it. The house was built in 1930, so there are probably lots of places a little guy like that could squeeze in. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I find the same goes for the majority of junk that comes across the Mastodon gateways. If I want to be on the "fediverse" and get drowned in nonsense, butthurt, and censorship, I can set up a Mastodon account very easily. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog Nice! Totally out of idle curiosity and nothing else, where are you going to bury them? To save you the time of typing out a long description of the location, just send the GPS coordinates. 😉 npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I was awakened this morning by a commotion in the bedroom. Turns out it was this: npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I've got three of those, and they've been great. The oldest one I have has been in service for about five years. Don't expect to find parts or be able to rebuild it once it wears out, but they start reliably, run quiet, and are lightweight. They're not going to run an air conditioner, but they'll run some lights or small appliances or keep a fridge cold during an outage. I don't do much camping, but it seems like one of these would be perfect for that. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog What the heck is the deal with cats and cardboard boxes? You can't leave a box unattended in this house lest you return to find it stuffed full of cat. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog 😁 No kids here, and the petals really are attached to the flower. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog OK, I've never seen this before. Some kind of weird mutation or something caused this flower to grow petals in the wrong place. npub1wsxc86a5lhe4zxkddhfjjrff7em900uez4h9lcr6vl3uh3ehtwlqca6gk5 Squeaky Frog I always chuckle when I see "plant based" soy or almond milk.
