Hey Suz! Sac is gud. Calm. Cool.

How is the coast?

sweet! i saw the moon tonight… first time in weeks — cooler tonight too – down to 42 out there.

Nice. the humidity here is 88%.

79% here — the skies are totally clear and i saw stars! unfortunately, the radar shows i’m gonna get the first rain of the day in a bit. supposed to be clear tomorrow until early evening — a great day to travel over to jens :)

Aloha, Suz znd LLN pups…!

Evening, all. We’ve got a big moon here tonight.

aloha tut — how’s paradise tonight?

hey openhope — i saw it when token was saving a tree a wee bit ago. forking gorgeous and its so bright outside.

how was your day?

FUTURE SEX – LOVE SHOW. from Justin TImberlake — We are watching an old recording from his Madison Square Garden show. It is really wonderful, this from an old librarian.

epu’d from below…thx

Good Evening All,

Remember, Atlas shrugged, but Yertle burped. Rand gives me a headache.

Just wanted to stop by and happily tell yall that my cardio-feedback experiments have advanced significantly. I posted a diary the other day, and hope you’ll have a look.

hey ce — how’s ohio tonight?

hey astral — how ya doing tonight?

Another glorious day in paradise…!

So ya headed back tomorrow to see some more of the Jujube, eh…? ;-)

u betcha :) taking my camera and plan on getting more pictures. she’s a week old today

evening, Suzzzz — firegods

hey ppd — how was your day?

Very cool. How are her parents doing?

Oh, finally snow free. We had a great dinner last night . Today I had a program about how to help curators research exhibitions. This, I do with glee.

i talked with jen yesterday and they were doing good. i didn’t call today because i wanted to give her some space — besides, i’m going to see for myself how they are doing tomorrow :) jen’s starting to feel the effects of the lack of uninterrupted sleep tho. mike can only do so much since jen’s nursing julianna.

Boy, and here I am bitching about it being too cold, rainy and overcast to plant. Spring snow is the worst! Well, after hail.

Good thanks — my brother & sister in law were visiting us for the day.

yay to no snow! today it finally felt like spring here. zero rain today!!!

My pansies are loving it!

Hi CE — how’s OH tonight?

So your forty days and nights are finally over…? ;-)

I feel so well, finally! Winter was so hard, and a double root canal in lower front teeth didn’t help. I’m done, fixed and not too horribly ugly at almost 59.

i saw the apple trees are starting to bud today. the apricot camellia out back is in full bloom.

Everything is starting to bloom, thank the natural world!

oh, i’m sure the rains will be back. according to the radar, i should get hit with a shower band or two in a wee bit.

Oh, I’ve got something on my mind. Our friend Evan Knappenberger, a young Iraq vet made it into FDL via Emptywheel’s post yesterday! I was so excited. I would link but I’m just an excitable dinosaur, with no skills. :)
I met Evan when he was doing his Towerguard protest.

Oh we had horrible showers here today. Over, and over!

glad to hear you and the weather’s feeling so much better, CE.

excellent — i hope he eventually will use the myfdl diaries and post.

Good evening, Suz. Evening, pups. Congratulations again on becoming a grandma, baby Julianna is a cutie!

I spoke too soon…? ;-)

I hope it’s not from the Pineapple Express…

hey past — thanks :) how ya doing dood?

So Hey!

We’ve been getting pounded all month. I’m so glad I built up the garden beds in fall and covered them with alfalfa mulch. Trying to shape beds now would be impossible.

its supposed to dip south and hit ca more than us — at least that is what the weather dood said…

Suze! Pups!

too much overtime makes me a cranky farmgrrrlll. but i have tomorrow off!

and i’m loving failin’palin’s wisconsin fail. Thousands more people showed up for tractors joining the protest than showed up for palin. I bet the manure spreader that one of the tractors was pulling could get more “likes” than palin!

the koch brothers are gonna have to start paying the kochroaches more … they sure couldn’t get the teabuggers to turn out.

hey ndfg — yay for tomorrow off!!! i heard that in addition to being boo’d, she showed up wearing some sorta silver lame coat. what was she doing — trying to appeal to the tin foil crowd?

Way to soon, sun guy!! We’re in for more free water than we know what to do with.

Very good, thanks. It was a beautiful day today, 65 and sunny. No snow for a week now, mowed the lawn for the first time this year.

Aloha, ndfg…! I’d seen some kind of headline mentioning cheese curds and Caribou Barbie…! ;-)

yay! i was noticing today that the grass is gonna need mowing soon.

does mowing the grass in snow country jinx ya (like washing the car makes it rain)?

Hey now, I’m only working on about a two day reprieve so far, from my 40 days of rain…! ;-)

I didn’t realize you guys were getting hit, too. We’ll all be frog farmers soon!

hi Suz, everyone. People were out mowing lawns today, not me, lawnmower has to go to the shop. Happens every year. I saw grape hyacinths in the front yard, so pretty!

It’s our ‘rainy season’ now and it usually doesn’t disappoint here in Hilo town…!

my fave twitter about her lamé was this:

“Wow, Palin in silver lamé. No, wait…Sorry, I’m wrong. My apologies. It was anti-thought Kevlar.”

sunny

from Da Twitter, sounds like her shrieky harpy voice was curdling all the cheese in wisconsin.

hey margot — how ya doing tonight?

Aloha, Margot…! So that’s one of your signs of Spring, a busted mower…?

Wow, Palin in silver lamé. In all fairness, though, she did reject the notion of being carried onstage in an egg was my fav…

hiya CT

Hi Suze and Pups. I’d trade you some of today’s Left Coast Florida for a bit of cool. Officially temp. was 81, heat index 89. I was determined to clean the garage; didn’t finish but made good progress. Tomorrow will be warmer and Tues. 90. … The little fig tree out back shows promise for a bountiful harvest – July/August. And other fruit trees are looking good too. Gave away loads of grapefruit and oranges this winter.

Suze, I hope Jen is getting as much rest as she can. Pls. post lots of baby pix. She’s a beautiful little baby.

Dunno. We’ve had our two customary April snowstorms already, but the month is only half over. Mother nature could always give us more yet – she’s fickle that way.

*heh* I found the headline… Sarah Palin To Be Pelted With Cheese Curds In Wisconsin Saturday…

I take it that that didn’t necessarily happen then, eh…? ;-)

When I was back in Wis a couple years ago I was amazed at all the motorcycles on the road. I hope they do a motorcade protest. Like Cheney’s roadside trick, Thundering Eagles[?] that showed up everywhere.
But these would be the real deal.

hey pat — yikes! it must get miserable in august. at least with cold ya can put on more clothes.

i’m encouraging her to sleep when the baby does…. i’ll be taking more pics tomorrow and hope to have them up at my blog soon.

do ya get up real early to do that when its hot? my mom lives in az (before that in palm desert) and she’s up before the sun and hits the yardwork at first light.

Aloha, PPD…! I saw the Sharks went down to the Kings earlier today…!

Doing good, Suz, all’s well here. Give that baby’s knees kisses for me:)

Wow, those are some temps. No thank you, I’d melt. Being a Nor’westerner, I’d rather bitch about the rain than curse the heat.

will do. i bet your pup is enjoying the good weather — token was romping in the grass this afternoon and having a fine time — his poor belly was soaked when he came in — short legs yanno.

I think there should be a rule that when you talk about Palin and lamé, it should be pronounced laym.

oh ya she’s going after bunnies, i see her take off after them. Delight to watch. She’s too old and slow to catch a thing.

i try to avoid her name but dayam, the tin foil look is so last decade

At a nursing home I know of, a guy died and his wish was to be escorted to the cemetary with the local motorcycle group and have Time Is On My Side sung. So this nursing home bus goes, led and followed by lots of guys on bikes. I like that.

CT it’s just part of spring prep that I never get to until everyone else already has it done.

Suze,mornings are cooler but humidity is usually higher.

Breeze picks up in the afternoon, today from south and sw, so it was warm and humid all day. Living here would be brutal w/o AC. … Summer is only a few degrees hotter, but more humid, and the bright sunlight affects us like snow blindness.

Openhope, I lived in NY and I know cold. My first winter here was a Joy. I missed seeing a snow shovel in the garage!!! (Not Really.)

still too wet to mow here. i figure when the landlord visits, they will be checking out the mower — tis a rite of spring up here too. seems like it takes a fair share of tinkering to get the mower back into shape after a long winter’s snooze

LOL, I went out for a smoke and glanced at your comment thinking you were still talking about our magic Sarah!
Couldn’t agree more. *g*

Ah, so it goes in for a tune-up then…! Smart thing to do if you’re not mechanically inclined…! ;-)

Very cool. Around here a lot of the “bikers” that show up trailer their bikes and spend their time talking about “their mechanic”. It was nice to see a culture of motorcycle riders, all ages, who could actually work on their own bikes.
I’m such a purist…………

*heh* I forgot what it’s like to have a mower stored for longer than 2-3 weeks at a time…! ;-)

motorcycle

In NY I had an electric mower. No maintenance. Long extension cord, plug it in, practically runs itself. It’s years old and still works. It’s lighter and no gas fumes.

The old gas one had its annual visit to the shop. That was a bother for a little lady like me, and it was costly.

this house sits on 4 acres and about two of it is mow-able — would need one hella long electric cord. i like the electric ones because they are quieter.

wisconsin is a very scenic state … my home area in western wisconsin sees a lot of bikers going thru. Lots of people i work with (in minnesota) have motorcycles and their fave place to ride is wisconsin.

i had bunches of motorcycles going by when i lived in the santa cruz mts. it was a favorite day trip for so many bay area riders. as the weather got warmer, the sound of the motorcycles got louder (esp on the weekends) because they loved riding in groups — the larger the better.

Oh no. These guys are of the variety (I think, I have no personal knowledge at all) who would rather work on their bikes than screw. Definitely old-school.

i don’t want a pickle

That seems really familiar, in a Fritz The Cat toon kind of way.
I would have totally hit on those guys back then. Until they started talking. Damn.

1972 — yeah, i know what cha mean :) that’s the year i graduated high school — and married ex #1 — altho not in that order

huey

My son just bought a 1970 Chevy, cherry condition with 40,000 on a rebuilt engine. I was wailing before he purchased it…”I was in HIGH SCHOOL when this truck came off the line!”.
Apparently, old trucks hold their value.

That’s the year I graduated high school and moved in with connoisseur pot merchant boyfriend #1. :]

pickup

i have fond memories of those days — in spite of the mullets

pickup man

Mullets just went out here. Like last year.

Now, I was enjoying the music and listening to the guitars, then I started reading the lyrics. That’s just weird imagery.
I’m getting too old to understand this vampire love.
Not that I don’t understand that love can be a raw and bloody piece of meat. That’s human.

i’ve seen a few around town myself. *shaking head* have no idea what their appeal is….

No mullets in Mill Valley, Ca.
Those were Shag Haircuts.

marin county must have a law against them or something *laughing*

No shit? Man, the redneck boys hate to give up their long hair now that they’ve claimed it, huh?

happy lucky 100 openhope!!!

I guess…

mullets

time for me to head out folks. g’nite all and thanks for letting me hang out with ya tonight.

g’nite all

mullet = barber
Shag = stylist
It was Mill Valley, 1970′s. Anomaly as culture as long as you have a cognitive theory to explain your weird behavior and morals.

I would rather shoot chickens in the head with a 22 pistol. [okay, that was harsh. I shouldn't disrespect the chickens for a laugh].

Cool. Happy 100 to me!
Probably a good sign to stop frigging babbling…!
