Coming in late on the Hummingbird bird discussion, but here is what I do. I keep the feeder out all year long and change the water weekly. I have had 2 hummers stay all Winter for the past 3 years. Even during the Big Freeze. I changed the Water every 8 hours for 3 days and they made it through.… Read more »
The vinyl polymer is unusual, however, because it is based only in part on hydrocarbon feedstocks: ethylene obtained by processing, or cracking, natural gas or petroleum. The other half of the vinyl polymer is based on the natural element chlorine.

I had a lovely afternoon nap, but now I’m yawning so it’s possible I’ll sack out early again tonight. The last few days, I’ve noticed a large black and white cat has started coming here for what the nighttime crew gets. I need to get a pic of it and post on the neighborhood chat methods, just in case some… Read more »
The new kitchen/office AC is running just fine. The floors have been cleaned, mopped, and waxed. Moving furniture to one side, clean and wax, wait an hour or so, move it to other side, clean and wax, wait, etc. Everything is now back in it’s place, or in some cases in its new place, and the floor is shiny for… Read more »
It’s an odd thing they are running cable TV commercials up here for Church’s Fried Chicken. It brings back old memories. Our mother always loved really good fried chicken and being a mother who worked long hours and raising two boys she was always on the lookout for the best places. Youngbloods’ was a local Houston family run restaurant chain… Read more »
Have been enjoyingTedtam’s posts earlier today reporting that conservatives all over are fighting back the wacko lefties who arrogantly have been congratulating themselves on their success in taking over. Not so fast, turkeys. The successful conservative states that have overcome the lefties’ demonic and fraudulent covid hoax of the last 3 years are marching right along through the mess that… Read more »
Been busy, since I’m running out of room in the tractor shed I decided to make a shelf to store my new Lane Shark brush mower. The shelf is in the west stall right above the Bush Hog. I used 2 X 6’s lengthwise and 4 X 4’s crosswise. The floor/ground isn’t exactly level so I ran one 2 X… Read more »
Let your tax lawyer or at least a CPA handle it. They told me they can’t help me with this one, as it involves my IRA. I’ve been trying to be nice to the lady who owes me the documentation, but she promises me she’ll deliver, then…crickets. Phone calls, emails, certified letters from a lawyer…nothing. So after I was told… Read more »
53 Tedtam If you are actually talking to an employee of the IRS, you are doing it completely wrong. An analysis by their Inspector General a couple of years ago concluded the advice given out by the IRS to taxpayers was completely wrong well over 50% of the time. Whatever you do – don’t ask the IRS. Let your tax… Read more »
Crenshaw had three opponents in the 2022 Republican Primary for District 2. He won with 74.5% of the vote. His three opponents barely gathered 25% between the three of them. District 2 is an absurdly gerrymandered district comprised of a weird collection of Houston suburbs that have little in common with each other in a local sense. See the map… Read more »
I was trying to clear up a problem with the IRS. It’s a weird one, and I got passed around for about an hour and finally found someone that I thought I could help.

We had three feeders on the front porch and Fay was cooking juice almost every day. It was nothing to have 30-50 of the little piggies. I was looking for 20 lb bags of sugar.
My hummer feeder recipe is 4 cups sugar in one gallon of water, and I just keep it in the refrig until I’ve used it up. I put mine up a couple days ago but nothing so far. AC guy is gone, and he helped me move my office desk back into position in the kitchen. I did the half… Read more »
I’ve tried and tried to attract hummers to this place, but the only time we see them is mid to late August passing through.

I have not seen a hummingbird in my yard for several years. Used to be, I’d see them on my hummingbird bush I planted in the backyard soon after we bought the place in 1995.

That pic is from a couple years ago. We have a feeder up but no joy yet. Yanno ever since Harvey our population of hummers here has been slim. I hope that changes this year.

It only makes sense. Trying to ship military hardware to Ukraine through the Bosporus Straits and into the Black Sea would be crazy. The Baltic port of Gdansk in Poland is the only one that seems logical.

When you speak of the waxing of kitchen floors…..man, it’s been a long time since I lived on floors requiring waxing. Very long.

Nope. Mine is a red Craftsman.
Check that:
He uses the Maguires products, not ArmorAll.

Be assured that his mower is the one with ArmorAll on the tires.
And seat.

Shannon –
You takes your joys where you can find them.
Two trips to Brenham and over a hundred dollars later, I have two new 6×15 front tires on my riding mower.
I guess this is the high point of my week.
Texpat 1550hrs:
How the heck could any reasonable person look at that map and say that it was not gerrymandered?
/I am totally disgusted with the corruption of government at all levels. Dancing at the end of a rope is too good for these miscreants

rEpub voters will vote for any rEpub candidate that’s been in the military even if they’re as lousy as j mcCain jr.
that’s because most of the ones that have pretended to be on our side the last 4 decades have been and still are on their side.

These Jeep Wranglers, Rubicons, and Gladiators sure are popular vehicles with the young women around here.
My favorite one has a decal on the back window: Look Pretty Play Dirty.

I never used colored water in my hummer feeders.
McCarthy plans on pulling an O’Keefe:
Speaker McCarthy Vows Full Public Release of Capitol’s January 6 Surveillance Tapes
Whoopie and Joyless may have concurrent strokes.

They prolly died of diabetes from all the sugar water. Or the red food coloring. Or gluten or sumptin.

funny you say that. we tried the plant for hummingboydees and never saw one. We put up feeders and used to see 20 or 30 hanging around. Now maybe 5-8
How does this forced unionization square with freedom of assembly? And Right to Work laws?
Sometimes I think the left is trying to provoke a genuine armed insurrection . . . . . they may be successful.

That was a good pic. I’ve thought about putting out hummer feeders, but I really don’t need one more thing to take care of right now.
I do love the hummers, though.
Dang that is a good lookin hummingbird picture.

It’a all about forcing everyone in America into a union and overturning all Right-to-Work laws in the states.
Then the billions flowing into union accounts can used to fill up Democrat PACs.
