@Rammy looks like you are going to take a much needed break from everything that is driving you nuts.

I have you to thank for it. When you suggested going somewhere and then @Latestarter saying maybe meeting up with him and @Mike CHS , I thought, why the bleep not? Its not that far to drive, I will get to meet some great BYHers, and get some great bbq. Who could pass that up?

Saw something neat yesterday. I pulled into the parking lot here at work, and there was a bunch of wild turkeys with thier chicks wondering around looking for food in our back yard. I took some video of them. They were pretty close so you could get a good look at them. They probably stayed for about 15 minutes after I pulled in so I got to watch them for a while. Was so cool. I saw them again this morning in the lot next door. So neat to see wildlife.

I love seeing wildlife.

That is a great way to start the day!!

Went to town the other day and saw a momma hen with her 13 young trailing her....they were about half the size of momma....they were crossing the road and one was stranded on one side, so I stopped a good distance back and let it catch up with the group that had made it into some brush.....sure were cute little things.....

Got some pics of the momma turkeys and their babies this morning. I tried uploading the video I took a few days ago but couldnt do it. Today when I came to work I saw them in the back again so took pics this time. Its so neat to see wildlife thriving in the middle if a city. There is a wooded area behind the hospital and across the street so I figure thats where they live. Nice way to start morning.

Ok. Now that Im on a computer and not my phone< its so hard to type on a phone> I can write about other stuff.

So yesterday, I got new gutters put on my house. The ones that were on there originally were rusted through in some spots and bent from numerous ice storms and snow. I got new aluminum gutters with screens over top to prevent leaves getting in. One gutter was clogged from leaves and the water would just pour out over the side. I dont have a ladder tall enough to get to the gutters or would of cleaned them out. Now I dont have to.
My neighbor called me couple days ago and asked me to take his daughters psycho cat as a barn cat because she is leaving for college in a few days. This cat is nuts. Its also an indoor cat and dont think it would like it outside. He even offered me a $100 dollars to take her. I said NO! One, I dont want anymore pets. Two, she wouldnt stay there anyway because he lives just across the big field from me so she would just go back home anyway. Hes also tried to pawn off a dog and a few turkeys on me. I said no each time. Also, why would he want to leave that cat over here knowing I have a jerk neighbor who would either shoot her or poison her? I mean really!
For the past week, I had been searching for, in vain, a lid that went to a favorite mug I like to use. I think, after tearing the house apart, that I accidently thru it away. I tend to leave stuff on the kitchen table and I think, when cleaning it off, I somehow managed to shuck it and didnt realize it. I do remember leaving it on the table saying to myself, that I would know where it was, instead of putting it in the sink with the mug itself. I had alot of dishes piled up and wanted to wash them and was afraid it would fall behind the counter. Well...............idiot me thru it away. I mean I as up at 2am looking for it in the kitchen. I have finally concluded that I lost it and wont ever find it. So I went on Ebay and found a new lid that should fit it. Its not the same color, but if it works, ok by me.
Still thinking about the job offer. Not sure its a good idea, tho, because of the distance, that I will have to start over, and probably wont be doing this much longer so it would be pointless to take the job only to work there a short while. I am looking around, but not in the field Im in. Im sure that something will come along that will make me go hmmmmm and probably change my career path. Im also considering maybe taking classes in something else like office management or something.
Anyway, time to get to work. Lots of doggies to shave.

Love the turkey pictures! That must be a beautiful sight. They are uncommon around here.

We hear them all of the time but rarely see them anymore since the dogs have the run of the place.

I havent seen them around my house ever, I think. I do see deer alot. There is a group that has babies, one has twins, that come to the pasture next to mine and eat the soybeans. They usually go to the woods across the street from my house at some point. One time, I saw on my cameras, one came almost all the way up to my house. It came as close as the side walk. Then something scared it and it ran away. Probably creepy neighbor<g>. Ive seen coyotes, fox, raccoon, possum, hawks at my house. There is an area just before I turn onto the main road here in town, that I see wild turkeys also. Couple of them are toms and its neat to see them displaying thier tail feathers when its mating season. They just strut like its nobody's business.
