Looky what I found today

this is what I found in a back yard at work. My job takes me to many yards in the area, to fertilize and treat (customers). This particular yard was a biggy, 48.5 k square ft (acre= 43.5k sqft) So I am driving my

turf buggie
and laying on the ground is this deer antler. Well of course I pick it up. I have found many things in the journey of my job, snakes, praying mantis, unique rocks; well this is the first time I ever found a deer antler.

So it seems pointless to tell you, this was the first day of treating lawns. And yes I did get rained on. Now so bad, just a drizzle as I finished my last scheduled treatment. By the time I was heading back to the shop it was coming down in shovels and pitch forks (about 2x cats and dogs)

drizzle= well you know this one, takes a while to get you wet
raining pebbles and small rocks= a bit more than than drizzle, when it is actually called rain
raining hamster and gerbils= little more than a pebbles and small rocks but can be dealt with
raining cats and dogs= we all know this one, heavy rain gets you soaked
raining shovels and pitchforks= you are ready to gather up your toys and go home, soaked to the bone after just a few moments

of course we do leave out the partial increments here, possums and raccoons, deer and antelope, horses and zebras, etc but the absolute worse is shovels and pitchforks

So we call this "shovels and pitchforks". Its not traveling weather unless your name is Noah and you have been laboring the past few months creating an ark. I did however find myself away from home and wanting to get back to my 'ship'. So I drove quite a few miles through the pouring rain, just as I think "this is not really 'traveling' weather I see a runner. Now, you want to talk about dedication; this is the kind of rain that gets you soaked just going out to get in the vehicle., so you just say "I don't think so" and what ever errands where on your mind can wait.
     Rain and Saturday, not such a great combo, as I am not big on sports or TV there just isn't much to do.





Well of course I'm listening to music, its how I pass the time, listen to tunes and search different things on the computer. 

Well as it turns out I do have some plans tonight ... more later
    

Friday 10.23

And just as predicted, the rain is falling, I'm off work, can't get much done with this kind of rain. Not quite shovels and pitchforks but its coming down at a good pace. Thing with the rain days is everyone else has to work, so I sit here being quite bored. So what to do? Blog, lol, well I sit here and type out my thoughts, listen to some of the music I downloaded a few weeks ago. Walter Trout, some real classy electric blues.
Well time is going, I do have a few 'thing' to do, clean up, change the bedding, and some of the other things that usually get put off till the weekend. I'll check back in in a few. Still wondering who it is from Milford that is visiting my blog (hint)

Now didn't we just go through this last night? These evening thunderstorms are pretty cool though. Last night the radar was alive with color, mostly red. Constant light show most of the night. Wind was howling and rain. I do mean the shovels and pitchforks sort of rain. Looking like we might be in to a blast again tonight, more on the cats and dogs kind of rainfall. Well would talk but gotta go tie down the sails and weather this one out too.
