"..Jeff Jarvis

I'll say this every day from here. Joe Biden is a #BrilliantPresident. Of course, I don't agree with his every decision (impossible). But he is a proven, experienced leader who has done a phenomenal job bringing the country back from the brink of fascism. His work is not done.."

Another way to look at that is, Dark Brandon gave republicans everything they wanted in a border bill knowing they would never be able to vote for it.  4D chess.

The air smells like horse manure today. Guess I gotta wait for petrichor...

What a day!

I agree. Sunny, not warm but only a chill.  Broke out the death and dismemberment machine and cut the top of a tree that had fallen and was standing up, caught in another tree. Managed not to stick the chainsaw and also get out of the way when it can down. Probably should have had my hard hat on but not sure it would have helped. 

Prepped new ax handles, got the varnish sanded off the handles so they will take oil, cleaned and sharpened the heads and got one head on. Apparently steel wedges for mounting ax heads are not a hot item.  Out of 3 stores only one store had 1 set.  Not long ago there would be a bucket of the things on the counter of every hardware store, grab a handful and give them $2. Not anymore.

Started coating the new ax handle with linseed oil, once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year, and oiled up the handles on my other implements of yard destruction.

That was all I got done today, hope to get back down on the river bank tomorrow and start cleaning up the brand new mess the river brought me. Looking to be at least 2 more big black trash bags full. Be lucky if it is not 3.

Power trips can be costly.

Trouble is, it seldom if ever costs the perp. Taxpayers get the bill.

Good gravy, I guess everyone gets sued.
