Same here and I agree with everything you said Doc, the weather this spring really stinks! Al

We are only a couple weeks from June, and the next week looks like some kind of rain everyday with highs in the 50's. I've got standing water in 4 spots on the lawn where I cannot take my zero-turn mower without getting stuck. Of course the grass loves it and is getting close to a foot high. The lawn looks like crap. And usually we have the garden in by now, but right now it is a mud-pit. With rain every day and night it is never going to dry out. And with temps staying below 60 degrees, the soil temp is not going to allow anything to germinate anyway. I have experienced this once before and almost all of the seed rotted because of the cold and rain. There I feel better now having got that all off my chest.....Ha-ha-ha-ha. Anybody else finding this weather to be challenging?

Bees have settled in. Carrying pollen into their new home, this morning.

With some affordable 1280 resolution thermal scopes becoming available I decided to liquidate some optics and purchase one if the price was right. Got a NocPix Ace S60R a few weeks ago and mounted it on the Barra .177 PCP rifle to get acquainted with it hunting mus around the abode. Holy freaking awesome Batman. SJC

Looking for advice on lanyard beads for knives. I’m building out a few paracord lanyards for both fixed blades and folders, and I want beads that add function—not just flash. I’ve seen all kinds: titanium, brass, wood, micarta… even skull-shaped ones. Do any of these actually help with grip or retrieval, or is it mostly about looks? I’m not opposed to spending a little more if it’s high quality, but I don’t want to overpay for hype. Any recommendations on materials that hold up well to outdoor use or EDC abuse? Thanks

I think that is not the right deer. These two are correct.

That is pretty cool. Never seen one.

They should move on in a couple days .

I think I found it.

It back in the day of flip phones. I have one but dont know where it is and isn't a great picture.

In my shirt sleeves. Settled on a tree limb. Now in a new hive body on new beeswax. Nice gentle Italian swarm.
