Leaving for town in a bit to see or tax man, pick up our taxes and find out how much we owe this year. Breakfast at the Wagon Wheel Cafe. This Bull Nose for our adventure to, in, and back from town.

Ed it’s nice to know that my bride and I aren’t the only ones who have a tax man. For the first thirty years of our marriage my wife did our taxes and lordy I learned quickly to stay out of her way for the two weeks leading up to the deadline . Now it takes her an hour or two to get the paperwork together and send it off to our tax guy.

Another beautiful day here in the City by the Bay! Looks like it’s going to be a warm week ahead with lots of sunshine . With a nod to Micarta Monday these two beauties. Have a great week folks!

Cool homemade knife, Jeff. The wood could be American Hornbeam, often called ironwood, muscle wood or blue beech. Tough wood like Hophornbeam.
Your knife, blade and handle, has some nice character my friend.

Appreciate it, Greg. If I don't disremember, my 45 yr old pocket sized tree identyfier book lead me to those names.
I was enamoured with the ergonomics of the Russel Canadian Belt Knife handle, so drew a slightly exaggerated copy

Forest fire season has started here...very early for us.View attachment 2828630

Last week, we had a daylong light rain. I was puzzed over having to keep squirting washer fluid to get the mud off the windshield. And every drop of rainwater on our cars left behind light brown dirt.

I concluded that the rain had picked up windborn topsoil from the fields that are fall plowed and left bare.

We found out that it was not soil, it was ash from fires in New Mexico careied to us on the jet stream.

Never put 2+2 together as you did Jeff. My windshield had a strange film on it too. We are about 15 miles away. This forest is 1.1 million acres of pine forest.

Yeah Dan. I've always been the one to do the taxes but three years ago I said the heck with it and found a tax guy to do it for me. This'll be the first time in seven or eight years that we've got to pay. I've got copies of all my federal and state income taxes going back to 1965 when I filed my taxes for the first time.

I hope and pray that your current fires are contained soon, and that your fire season is mild (and ours is too!).

Thanks Tyson and may everyone be spared from tragedy.

I had read that the dirty rain was caused by the drought and dust storms in the southwest. Maybe a combination of dust and ash

'Dirty rain' fell across St. Louis Friday morning. Here's why

The meteorological phenomenon has extreme drought in the southwest to blame.

I received a huge surprise this morning. My former apprentice and best friend handed me a birthday gift this morning, which was somewhat of a surprise. What was inside absolutely floored me:

Wow ! congrats buddy what a great gift and also a bit of a rare bird as well

The squash looks a lot like a Jahrradale.
Supposed to be tasty, but Mrs. Fleschwund claimed mine for decorating.

Very close, it’s a Queensland blue. Another heirloom Aussie, probably the most popular here. Very sweet flesh, great for roasting or soups.
