That can't be good Moog. Keep on top of it...

-3.2°C (26°F) here this morning. Not far off the coldest ever recorded temp of -4.5°C (23.9°F) at the nearest official weather station...

Hi there! I ran aground in the river again. It was the quietest and smoothest running aground I had so far. My friend volunteered to climb out to push us free. He weighs maybe 160. I told him I'll go first. The boat floated free with a little push. Again? Good grief :D You need one of these. Design...

I sent my lanyard to Rabz, our Aussie outpost needs to be outfitted properly.

10% sales tax? Man, that is painful, mel. Washington state doesn't have an Income Tax (1 of 7 states that doesn't) but instead has a 6.5% Sales Tax; municipalities then add their bite, 3.75% in Seattle's case. Not applicable to groceries, but pretty much everything else. Two things for certain, dea...

The olives are harvested by a local artisanal olive oil maker. In return we get a percentage of the oil. They get olives, we get some oil and the fruit is not wasted. A win all around I think. That's perfect, absolutely a win win! Do you have to do anything to take care of the trees throughout the ...

Hey Bill,

A whole ute load of phinpower is on its way from downunder.

The olives are harvested by a local artisanal olive oil maker.

In return we get a percentage of the oil. They get olives, we get some oil and the fruit is not wasted. A win all around I think.

Here's a dirty little secret:
We inherited the olive trees. While I use olive oil, I simply dislike eating olives. Plus, once I found out how much faffing around you need to do to make them edible, I discounted that path.

Pretty sure I have never seen, let alone eaten tinned spinach.

If I am truthful, I struggle with the fresh stuff, even though we've grown it for years. It needs much garlic and plenty of chillies before I find it palatable.

mmmmmm Ham Gravy and Olive Oyl mmmmmmmm

I think I need some spinach too!

Both black and green I guess.

Green is a stage of ripening, after which they go black.

Between Brutus and Popeye, there is too much competition for Olive Oil...

This morning's view down to the orchard.

A foggy and drizzly Sunday morning here in the Barossa Valley wine region. Feels like weeks since we saw the sun. I need a few days of dry weather to allow me to get busy with the weed spraying and to burn the prunings. Spent yesterday mowing and slashing weeds and then grubbing out stumps. The weed...

Ok, I'll ask. What is a pop-out? A fly ball is a ball hit into the air (vs. a ground ball , one hit on the ground). A pop fly is a fly ball hit nearly vertically into the air, usually within the infield. If a batter hits a fly ball that is caught by an outfielder he is said to have flied-out and if...

Crazy ending to last night’s Mariners at Oakland ball game. After beating the A’s 8-2 and 9-0 the first two games, last night the M’s bats were dead and the A's had a no-hitter going until there were 2 outs in the 8th inning. Going into the 9th, the A’s were leading 1-0. In the top of the 9th innin...

We are excited about the results of our first venture down to Gulf Shores, and the fuel economy we achieved. Our next test is going about 280 miles round trip to Biloxi, beginning on Tuesday. Our system indicated that we have plenty of room for improvement on economy. Fairly important as fuel on th...

Another 3 run Homer for Yankees.
Final score 6-7...Yankees win

Ummmm. If it was Homer shouldn't it be D'Oh! not "crap"?

Just one week to the shortest day and/or shortest night depending where you are.

Wet, miserable and coldish hereabouts.

Well the post dental work limbo is over.

The pain has arrived.

Did I ever mention I don't like dentists?
