When I see them like this, it just warms my heart:

Yorkie that is a precious shot! Awwwwww

[Kathy in Alaska]

My first reaction...aweeee, but seeing all those pointy things....hmmmmm. LOL!

Piper wonders why she can’t pick them up - they’re wild! Her Daddy’s cousin raises rabbits, and they’re generally okay to pet and pick up...

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! I guessed that might be the problem. How close can she get? Are they cute?

AWWWW!!!!! I love it! My parents are taking care of my brother’s dog while he is overseas, and he wakes them up at night when a pack comes by. (Herd?) They go out there and throw the little families carrot sticks (even though I lecture them not to feed them). Their yard has a fence though so they can view them in the wash but the javelinas can’t jump over or lunge at them or anything.

That one bottom tooth bothers me a bit ;-)

"That one bottom tooth bothers me a bit"

Just 'a bit'?
One came up to my porch a couple years ago
And it took all the where-with-all that I had,
To get my little dog into the house
AND GRAB THE WATER GUN FULL OF AMONIA!
(By the way - I took that pic with my cell phone
Standing on a chair - at a restaurant, near here.)

BQ, I used to buy ‘chicken scratch’ and throw a cup out my back door every nigh at exactally 6 pm. Within a week - they showed up - at 6 pm, the boar and all his ‘ladies’.

Then, they would finish, and be looking for more, so I would throw another cup out the crack of my door.

Well, one night, the boar decided I wasn’t throwing out MORE quick enough, and he came right up to my door, and started battering it.

Right then, I decided - “Chicken scratch is for chickens. No more feeding these guys - because, if the boar would have broke in my porch door, and got into the house - I don’t know WHAT I would have done!”

(Besides, I have found out since, that it is illegal to feed them.)

How is your lake fixed for water?

Our lake is close to full now. Aquapalooza is this weekend, so there will be a lot of boats out there.

[Arrowhead1952]

looks like we hit 112 today & it feels like it too!:)

We never hit 90 under the rain cooled clouds yesterday. And yes, they did get teh AC working. Ants were in the contacts - again.

[GodBlessUSA]

TGIF Beachn!!

” AND GRAB THE WATER GUN FULL OF AMONIA! “

What a great idea!

[Borax Queen]

Is it illegal too? I figured.... Well, I’d better lecture my parents some more :0))

I’m glad I’ve never been on a hiking trail and been charged by them. Poor things can’t see very well so it’s not their fault, but that would be scary. I’m usually looking for an “out” anyway, you know, in case of rattlers or something (no, not bullets because I’m not hiking in the drug cartel areas these days), but it’s not always possible to jump off or scale a cliff to get away.

Ol’ blue eyes is gorgeous! And one more young one knows how to change his guitar strings. Good for you, Teach.

[left that other site]

I see You!

Good Morning, Kathy! Changing Guitar Strings is no easy Matter.
First of all, One has to purchase the correct strings for the Instrument. Then One has to remove the OLD strings properly, one at a time, so as not to put undue stress on the neck. When the strings are off, then you can clean all the crud off the fretboard.
Then you have to seat the strings, one at a time, wind them in the right direction, make sure they don't stretch or slip, make sure the neck doesn't warp in the process, tune it up, check the intonation, and if it's not right, do it over.
Only THEN can you trim off the excess.
And WOE UNTO YOU if you don't have the correct tools for the JOB! LOL!


ML/LTOS

BTW. The Correct tool only cost $1.99.
