Coffee anyone ?

@SageHill : I was reading an article from CBS news about Tulare and how the extinct lake has returned. And flooding - oh my gosh! And how warm its going to be in the Sierra's this weekend. Ouch ouch ouch.

Yeah things are kind of “messy” putting it nicely. The temps up there this weekend are supposed to be high 40s to mid/high 60s so not too bad could be worse.
Of course if gruesome and previous crimes had worked on things besides trains to nowhere we’d be in a lot better shape (though that’s water under the bridge - pun intended).
CA is or used to be a huge ag state, now ag is “forgotten”. There are huge billboards along the freeways reminding people ag needs water, people need ag for food.
Sad very sad. (Oops caught myself climbing on that old soapbox).

It's a federal case, which may or may not make a difference? But we will get reimbursed for the parking, 30 days after the trial ends. Plus will get whatever the federal rate for mileage is AND $50/DAY ( you guys are getting ripped off!). Which will cover everything back.... but not before vacation.
Heard all the evidence today. Closing arguments tomorrow, then deliberation.

Been still & quiet TOO LONG today! Time to go put in some sweat & get a little dirt therapy. Its 86° out there today!

Started mulching up the winter's leaves in the Piney Woods garden.
I got a dirt tan!

You are preaching to the (1973 to 2017) choir sitting in this office chair, @SageHill. Gruesome, two timer Brown, and Davis set the stage for that beautiful state's downfall.

We’re still the golden state unfortunately we have thick layers of political tarnish.

Coffee is ready. I’ve got to get out of here early. My car is making a weird noise at 60 MPH. Gotta be at Hyundai dealership when they open. If it’s not an easy fix, I’ll have to take the truck. Tomorrow is the Texas group of Katahdin sheep seminar, @Margali and I are going. We are sharing a room tonight and seminar tomorrow morning at 8:00. I really don’t want to dump diesel in the truck for a 350 mile round trip. The car is so much cheaper to operate. I ran over a squirrel. A stupid freaking squirrel! I’ve looked under the car, popped the hood, no furry squirrel remains to be seen. Did a tiny squirrel damage my car? Gheesh!!! I hit a deer last month with the truck, score 1 dead deer, truck not even a hair off the deer. Truck laughs at dead deer and barrels on down the road. This is a bunch of BS. I’m making all kinds of cuss words noise here. Hopefully they can squeeze me in, it’s an easy fix and I’ll be off to Gatesville this afternoon. If not, it’s a run to the bank, get $$$ for the truck. Phooey.

 

[Margali]

@Baymule Oh no! If they can't fix it right away, see about a loaner tiny car. I gotta think that would be cheeper than diesel?

 

[Mini Horses]

Ooooh...hope it's a quick fix! Diesel $$

I worked yesterday. 44' of laundry & softeners to move around. Wooeee the smells! Another store today and tomorrow...same deal. Sneezes! But, spotty, scattered rain today and tomorrow. So the fence projects off until sun and....?

The goats are loving the grass and browse -- I'm loving the clean up help amazing what they eat. Time for chores. The ones on milking duty are waiting for relief.

I had amazing skillet dinner of eggplant, pasta, sauce & goat cheese last night. Only pasta was a purchase, rest homegrown/homemade from garden and milk, frozen, canned... and easy.

 

[Margali]

Caffeinated and at work for a half day. Then quick run to feed store Snicker's hay and home to pack my bag. Then FUN

Even a small rental car might be cheaper than diesel for the truck for a trip that far. Often there is no mileage charge.

learned that there is such a thing as a blinking red light in the middle of the street where you are supposed to just tap the break and drive on... ? NO IDEA what that was for... maybe to break up traffic a little for cross streets ahead????

Most everywhere I know a blinking red light is a STOP! sign. Maybe everyone is just doing "rolling stops" and the cops don't care?

meet the judge, law teams and defendant.

MEET THE DEFENDANT????? What the heck?
