Random Q; (and totally meaningless if the dude isn't on the site)

Did one of you RIU members just move to Northwestern Ontario bush life?

It seems there's another grower that moved into the community and our neighbor wants us to meet.

Your weed is nice and I like it alot.

The desert is having wind through tomorrow night, as the Department of de Fence (which took wind damage, requiring a repair that I did with available scrap wood) demonstrated. The other thing that sometimes goes along with it is lee-wave altostratus. The first three pics show a fine display from left to right, along azimuths SW, WNW and NNE. Extreme left of cloud featured in pic 2 shows some iridescent color.

Northeast cloud near sunset. Wave clouds like this are stationary. If you are patient andor really stoned you can watch the leading edge form and the trailing edge evaporate. Cool visual textures occur.

Some days but not today you get amazing underlit patterns in bright orange. Not much color today, and tomorrow should be windier.

But...pictures of the fence repair?

I did once, not intentionally. It was awful. I’m lucky though that it didn’t impulse-stucco everything else in the freezer.

OMG beer slushies were my gateway drug

There's a character in one of Steinbecks books...I believe Cannery Row...named 'Doc'. Dude was always curious about a beer milkshake, and ordered one under the ruse of some absurd medical condition one day.


I've been curious about them ever since i read it.

You have the skills to do the research!

I am thoroughly enjoying my new glass from @Metasynth I haven't decided if I like the enail or the quartz banger better yet. It was amazingly clean, all this mess is from me. One of my friends stop by today and they said it looked like I was doing crack.

I might have better bigger repair pics in a day or two, 50mph gusts are predicted.
And I need to get some deck screws, preferably with some weird-shaped driver hole like 5-pointed Torx. I intend to make the repairs ugly.

The square drive screws are hip.

Beat me by that much!

I got those. But they’d be an easy dismantle. This fence is an easy decade past its reasonable life, and the posts and crossmembers are spongy with age. So I will help maintain the fence, but am looking for elegant modes of passive aggression to assist the owner(s) in sharing my conclusion. I mean, the gate latch was held on with drywall screws. I sank some two-inch #12s in there; that oughtta hold.

I'll be here all week.

I was ready to rebuild a gate, but just got the boy to help prop it up and sink the hinge screws into some meaty wood.

I miss meaty wood.

I did the same thing with a shed door this past fall. Quick and easy!

That's me.

That's hard to swallow.
