That's a happy looking dog!

She switches between happy and masterful, depending on circumstances. All hope abandon yee who enter our abode as you will be barked to shreds.

Just finished firing up my sprinkler system. Walk time......

I've turned on the outside water, but haven't turned the sprinkler system on and dug out the heads for the season yet. Mainly because we are still getting adequate rain to keep everything verdant.

My dad taught me how to keep about three acres of vegetables weed free with a hoe.

I suppose that's one way to keep you out of mischief, or did it?

It's my way or the highway.
They just have to look at you with those puppy dog eyes and all is lost.

It limited time available for mischief but gave me a lot of time to think about how to condense a lot of mischief into the time available.

It doesn't sound like you grew up to be a James Bond villain, so all is good.

It certainly gave me a strong work ethic, which was helpful, and it taught me that the most daunting task is completed one weed at a time.

Eventually you come to the end of the last row and if you have done a good job, it isn't immediately necessary to start on the first row again.

Are you being told to throw the ball/stick there?

I'm only here for the doggies.

Am I allowed to pet their owners?

A good work ethic will go along way in life, something to feel good about.

My gramps taught me gardening at age 12, one of the best things an adult done for me.

Glad your back on track for recovery, as long as you don't over do it. No I am not going to scold you, but look after yourself.

Yes - well - I would think that cultivation/rural sciences /gardening whatever you may call it - is an essential skill to pass on to the next generation - along with foraging/survival tech and cooking - primarily aimed at their own food security - and getting by with enough nutrition to survive and thrive - in an uncertain future -

- Things have been moving along well with my recovery today - keeping as mobile as is sensible - with around 3 slow miles of walking today - combining a visit to a needy cat (Smudge) - and some very light shopping - then home to rest - cook and eat - my wife took the day off work today -.just to make sure that I was OK - Bless her xxx

Electric starters are for cowards.

Hey! Am I allowed to join?

I 'm old enuf. Honest.

I 'm so old my 2 great grand daughters just got their periods.

(I hope you are really Old Farts who are too mature to make jokes about periods.)

I was 16 when John Kennedy was killed. Mopar had just released a model here called 'Valiant'. It had this revolutionary motor ... a slant 6. 145hp.

I even used to be a Hippie ... !

Good afternoon Farts, young and old.

I can't believe it's May in a couple of days and yet here we are still in Winter rainy season. It started in September and has not let up. I need to move somewhere warmer, but no ticks please or bears or snakes.

Pup has emptied his toy basket into his bed, I think he is trying to tell me something.
