I read that Friday March 13 2020 was the first time the virus really broke free in the United States.

I got it on February 9th 2020.

By now you should have known those "vaccinations" for Covid are a JOKE !! you have had all that RNA crud put into your system and it has done what for you? NOTHING ! It sure DIDN'T stop you from getting covid.
How many times have you gotten Smallpox or the Measles after being vaccinated?

BINGO!!!

The whole IT department got sick in February of 2020 after a guy came back from
China. About the 15th for me. Nothing tasted right for 6 months. Had a cough that
Hung on forever. The shots were a bad joke. My son and his whole army unit had
Four shots, and they all came down sick after coming home from Iraq.
I still refuse the shots.

Another funny AI video, probably done by the same makers of the cat and dog firecracker blowing up after the poodle takes the pan off.

This looks so real, and it cracked my wife and me up. The Tuxedo cat looks just like our Oreo.

The orange cat looks like the one in the previous one.

Or if it's Carly Simon's either, for that matter.

...Looks Like a Lady

A storm ripped some old house wrap on the right side a couple of weeks ago or less. So I pulled all the button cap nails out and threw the old wrap away. I put some flashing down near the ground up front where there was none before. How I didn't know that is crazy. I had to rest.

I then pulled up the side decking to rake the leaves ( a yearly maintenance thing ) and decided to give this side a major refreshing with the ground and decking supports. It was windy yesterday, so I painted some outdoor stuff. Cut a small/short kick plate on the left bottom corner by the trash can. I've been wanting to do that for ages. Then today, I wanted to paint some kick plates in front of the porch that I replaced last year. I primed it this afternoon. I thought there was no rain expected for a few days...oh well. It's supposed to rain at 6 am tomorrow.

I had the lower part covered with extra rain shielding, but I took it off to put the cleaned decking supports back down. Then I was going to put new house wrap on, using the support line as a guide for the bottom of the wrap.
I did nail the flashing some more yesterday, so I'm kind of ok and not too worried. It is what it is...

My wife likes to help with the yearly cleaning of the leaves over there. Then she leaves, and I put the 4x4' sections back in place. I also pick them all up myself to begin the project. It sure makes my job easier!

Here are some pics of these blood-moving projects.

The rain was supposed to dissipate after all. According to the 4 am forecast.

But looking at the forecast around 8 am, the threat reappeared, and I felt I had 5 minutes to put the panels back up. My wife said she would give me a hand. It was lightly drizzleing the whole time we were out there. Not bad at all.

We took the flag down and rubberbanded the wind chimes, too. all in about 10 minutes or so.


Usually, when high winds are forecasted, we take the flag down and band up the chimes.

I even took a couple of new pics afterward.







These were weathered pretty badly.


Now to relax.

This struck me as a remarkable juxtaposition of two very different but very collectible automobiles.

These 2 Doves sat pretty motionless, just turning their heads, enjoying the day in our birdbath for quite a while, a couple of days ago.

First time I've seen that. I thought they were mating, but that's not how they mate. I'm sure they're a couple, though.

Lifelong Bonds
Doves are known for forming strong, monogamous bonds, often mating for life.
Once a pair has successfully mated, they will work together to build a nest and raise their young, sharing responsibilities throughout the breeding season. We've had Doves here for 25 years or more. They scrounge the ground around the feeders, AND all over our yard.







I saw the Bluebird couple calmly sitting at the birdbath drinking together for a minute or three the other day, too.

We try hard to keep the water very clean for them, and the water level is topped off morning and afternoon, too.
That birdbath is 20+ years old. Maybe 30. It's been a good one. One wire has rusted through in the basin years ago. I've been looking for a new top, but it's not a must-have since this one still holds water very well.

Give the birds water, seeds, and suet, and they will come and have babies.

Up North, as Mr. Hardy knows, fruits are a bird magnet. Orioles love Oranges.
