First truck 1975??? days of old


YUP, my first truck purchase back in the day,,, I started out with a small car, loved it but realized if i was going to have horses there had to be a truck in my life. I'll have to find a picture of that first car, red white blue, old Vega,,, For those in the know, RD,,,,, this was Forest Hill stables way back in the day.

Scanner know how plus a couple really old pictures

So, Its been a learning curve with a wireless scanner/copier/printer/fax machine that was given or was that loaned to me a couple months ago. I had it working fairly well hooked directly to the old PC at home, but the PC went belly up , so back to the learning curve of scanning old pictures.  Even though its wireless apparently in order to save pictures to a flash drive, it still has to be hooked somehow to the internet. I did purchase a really cheap laptop, probably a big mistake. and FINALLY i managed to save a couple scans through it to the flash drive that's plugged into the printer. I must try another way. REALLLY though, i think the old pc just needs a power supply, so maybe i will eventually take the old one out and hunt down one similar and install it, I know way off topic for the following pictures. Bear with me.

A real oldie,,, 1980 or 81???? WHO knew,,, a Toyota duallly and my First Shetland Sheepdog, One of the smartest dogs i ever owned, but they SHEDDDDDDDDDDDDD... i didn't have the dually long, It wasn't the smartest purchase i ever made since I had to have a way to haul horses, and I just didn't think it was going to do it. I really wish i had paid more attention to pictures back in the day, even with the cheappy things i had.

RESCUE ALERT,,, not for the faint of heart, did freak me out though.

gahhhhhhhhhhhhh, I hope i never have to do this again, if it had been venomous i would have called my turtle rescuers to come deal. I guess their rescuing of turtles has rubbed off on me, and dead or alive, this thing had to be removed.

YUP< RAT SNAKE!!!! and a decent sized one at that. I got home from work, trying to beat the rain, and what was hanging in the chicken pen? hung up in the netting that keeps out the hawks and keeps the chickens in... YES i have rats, or HAD RATS????

I thought he was dead, but i poked him with a stick and i saw a wiggle. SO, i over came myself, and with a pair of scissors, but him from the netting and with a hoe, directed him back to the woods, LETS hope he learned his lesson. Luke says he would have come to the rescue if I had called, but that means waiting possibly up to an hour. If it had been venomous,,, I WOULD HAVE WAITED.

Please forgive the dumpy looking coop/pen.. Yes it needs work, and I've been meaning to go to Harbor Freight and get a mesh Tarp, rather than using the netting and throwing tree trimmings on top. The birds love it, maybe that's what the snake was after. People tell me they eat chickens, but so far i have not lost a chicken to a snake. I DO HAVE RATS... and a very muddy chicken pen.

DO you see him???? i think it was over 5 feet, I'm 5'2 and it was over my head a little, and tail almost on the ground.

Garden/June 2017 post

Ok, I had to do a June post and because I am way behind on weeding my tomatoes and they aren't very visible due to way much rain, I decided to leave it at this. (My mind has been growing a lot of weeds lately) allergies more than likely...


And my favorite type of Birthday cake(DQ Icecream cake) for a special special person.
