Title: did ya miss me???
Post by: AllosaursRus on October 07, 2012, 02:57:29 PM
Had to give up the ranchin' business and buy a little place on a little warm water lake. "Toots" has developed breast cancer and my back is not gettin' any better. Took me 4 months for them to get my DSL hooked up! They actually showed up on a Sunday to keep me from goin' postal!!!

Sooooooooooooooooooo........... I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!

We're all doing fine here, sir.

I've been gravely concerned for you, though; it doesn't seem as if you've been going through anything good.

Hang in there, and holler if you need a shoulder.

<<goes back a long long long ways with Allosaurus.  A very long ways.

I've been tellin' "Toots" for weeks I needed to check in, but my internet has been kept from me since April! I moved into the new place the first of May and tried to get people off their ass to get me hooked up. Well, they kept tellin' me, even though they had DSL, they didn't have enough "ports" in my substation to accommodate my connection.

Well, after doin' everythin' except goin' down there with my ACP or my MAG, they finally decided to get it done!

I was tired of Horses, cows, donkeys and mules anyway. With "Toots" on my mind, I couldn't get my heart into it anyway.

I can pretty much throw my line in the water off my back deck in order to decrease the bass population, so I'm happy as a 3 peckered billy goat in a yard full 'o nannies anyway!

edited to add

Retirement will be great if I can get the apple of my eye healthy! Don't know what I will do without "Toots"!!!!

I'm sure our female members will understand this a lot more than us male chauvinists, but I guarantee ya "Toots" appreciates it!

I'll vouch for her on this.

The garden . . . we had an effin' groundhog in there.  Several times.  Cost me a buttload of squash and zukes.  The damned deer were topping the tomato plants again, and that pissed me off.  I did get some potatoes, and some brussel sprouts.

Next year . . . well, we'll be a couple of seasons in the townhouse that we're closing on in almost two weeks.

There's a cure for deer who get in MY garden. But if ya can't shoot the pests, get some gun oil and sprinkle around the perimeter. Deer seem to associate the smell with gettin' SHOT! Can't imagine why.

As for the ground hog, I got a windmill that sends vibrations into the ground and seems to work.

The problem is, around here, the chance of them getting killed by a car is infinitesimally high, compared to getting shot.  I'm in the burbs, and this is Noo Yawk! ::) :whatever:

try the gun oil. It seems to be in their instinctual genes. DNA and all that jazz.

Doesn't seem to bother them. Trees seem to keep them outa harm. After all, unless yer shootin' a 12 gauge, it's a little hard to pick the little critters off without sendin' a bullet down town! Even a .22 can reach out and touch someone 2 miles away with the right trajectory.

That is why God invented the CO2 pellet pistol with laser sight. (but I couldn't get four feet off the back porch with one around here before I was cuffed and stuffed).  These people are f_in nuts.

A had one of the deacons tell me, "If we hear any loud noises out there, we don't know a thing."  I somehow doubt that the pastor would share those sentiments.

Naw, there's a few up here. It's tough to keep fish in 'em. Have to be deep enough they don't freeze solid in winter, doncha know! Heh, heh!

Actually, it's only about 15 miles from the ranch. This will be my first winter in 15 years I don't have to go out in 60 below wind chill weather in order to feed the glue factory!
