Mowin my yard is still aways out around here we had rain most of the day . Things are starting to green up though , Cotton wood tree is starting to drop its sappy buds

[Ricky Spanish]

Eventually the cut grass mulch turns brown and makes it where I water less.
Sharing stuff like this really burns up the haters. They find the flaws. So many flaws in an imperfect world.

Poor fellas have no lives at all.

[Ricky Spanish]

WTF?
Bootlip is lurking...uh oh.
They don't know it yet but Bootlip and Pork Chop are extremely similar in appearance.
Could be brothers.

Poor fellas have no lives at all.

Say's the guy that stares at his phone all day typing for attention.

The new code:
If you use the word "log" in a thread title it won't need a pussy mod to watch over it.
No log threads about wooden tree logs please.
This one little rule might help.

It goes at about the #10 spot behind "keep your hands out of the pickle jar".
Fucking pussies need protection from contrary opinions.

[BOOTLIP]

Have you lost your fucking mind??

[Ricky Spanish]

You're twinkies but I can't decide which is uglier.
I never had a mind to lose.
Post something funny or brag about your new addition...something.
Show us one of them gigantic bass fishes that are caught routinely at the legendary lake you fish at.
Cmon...get krunk up in here.

Somehow I think I'd bet on bootlip in a shooting contest between you two. I dont get impressed by guns and shooting but you pulled it off.
Put the money on BOOTLIP.

Every other Friday she gets a big dose of chemo then is sent home with a little purse pump thing that continues to pump the poison in until Sunday and it gets returned.
It's $12,000 per pop times three.
So for six weeks it's chemo.
First session no serious problems.
Well there were problems but not what you share online.
As simply as possible the chemo clogs you up for about a week. So the patient won't eat or does then regrets it.
By the next Friday things get back to normal kind of.
We were in denial it's not that bad this time.
Last time was two different chemo at a time.
And then all her hair fell out again the other day.
This aint no fun at all and I really appreciate all the love and support you guys have offered up.
Thanks for nothing.

[Deltaman]

Know it can't be easy, and she has my sympathy and prayers Mike, and you as well. Try to be strong for her, and focus on getting through this and look to the future in a positive way. Hopefully, a few months from now she will start to reap the benefit of it all. Offering up a prayer now for the both of you, hang in there!

[Ricky Spanish]

Holy crap this picture pops up in some weird places.

Damn lying assed meteorologist can't even get "tomorrow" right.
They say rain and it don't.
They say sunny and it rains.
Worthless scientific waste.
Just look outside and decide.

[Ricky Spanish]

This don't look good.
Two goons with blueprints in the field I train millet in.

Sigh...I guess we use the bee yard instead.

[Ricky Spanish]

The template:
It's in here but I don't know where.
It's green.
Has the wff logo.
My picture...
Caption says "shit aunt Betty says" or something like that.
Find it and post it and I'll give whoever does it first an ass tuned croaker.

[Ricky Spanish]

It's an exciting time in the bee yard.
Have hives in process of making new queens.
It is kind of silly but it is exciting when you find you've been successful. It takes weeks so a bit of anxiety is involved too.
Bugs being buggy.

[Ricky Spanish]

They changed the Arkansas duck season to a week later to save the trees from being flooded so much.
Sound thinking but very quickly the money people in Stuttgart got political and demanded things be returned to normal where the duck festival coincides with the opening week of the season. First split.
Like we couldn't see that coming.
The season starts the Saturday before Thanksgiving as usual this year. Can't wait

[Ricky Spanish]

Sixty two bucks n change for a gallon of paint?
Ok.
The girl asked for my name so I asked for hers.
She wanted to see if my name was in her pooter.
I smiled and said it (her #) might be in my phone..
She said she hopes not...we all laughed...

Struck out. Got paint...no number or name.
The business world is harsh.

speaking of waste, you keep mouthing

[Ricky Spanish]

Wasn't easy getting one to stay long enough for a picture.
Lying assed duck hunters require proof of any bird sightings, kills, or state records otherwise it's just another lie posted online.

I told yuh!
I saw a bird an I'm not lyin

[OGblackcloud]

Couple of days with sun and no rain , what a difference I may be mowin sooner than I thought

I waited to mow and it destroyed my 15 year old mower.
She decided to splurge on self propelled no more pushing. Pick your battles. I surrendered on this one.
The only way to get a Honda mower engine was to buy a Honda mower. I wanted the Honda engine. They're good
That is about over I saw videos warning that when the old bird retired big changes would happen.
He retired and we are there. If you like the Honda mower engine shop now.

[Ricky Spanish]

This one...
I got lazy and left a stack of stuff from dead hives out hoping to catch a swarm and it worked but I didn't have time to mess with it.
A swarm in July ain't worth a fly they say...
This spring I looked and I'll be damn they're alive and have supplies.
So I restacked a little, added more boxes and the top four are all honey filled already almost to the top.
It's fixing to be a hell of a good year for honey.
Clover might be on the menu

If I get a nice prolonged period of weather with temps topping at around 85 for a couple weeks would be most excellent.

[Ricky Spanish]

The nectar is coming in so fast that I've had a couple swarms.
One was a weak hive. Good riddance .
The other is making a fine honey crop anyway.
It happens. When a big honey maker swarms for about 3 weeks it makes even more honey because the remaining bees have no nest to maintain and all they have to do is MAKE HONEY so a swarm isn't a deal ender.
It means new queen's for the yard.
I split up the hive after a swarm..
Make multiples.
That's how it works in the bee world

[Ricky Spanish]

The bright side of a swarm.
A hive that I need to check weekly can be safely ignored for a month. The same goes for any splits.
Life goes on.

[Ricky Spanish]

Tonight I went and mowed. I've got empty hives all over the yard and one suddenly has bees in it.
I think one of the swarms moved in.
Sweet.

[OGblackcloud]

Rain all day again . Sun is just now starting to peek out from the clouds and Canadian fire smoke

[Ricky Spanish]

Yesterday I got all the mowing done.
Lost phone and assumed the worst we were searching the yard for bits of phone.
Was racking my memory...
I bent down to hook trailer to mower...check there. Nope.
Finally I remembered oh yeah I got chased by a bee and took off running maybe that's where...yup.
You guys almost had a 3 or 4 day time off from my ramblings. Ha! I found the phone. suffer!

[Ricky Spanish]

The honey flow is epic and the Clover isn't even started yet. I've had hives with 5 supers run out of room and swarm. Other beekeepers are having the same issues.
It came in so fast. It smells good.
I've given up on swarm control let them.

They make even more honey afterwards.
I'm putting wheels on the extractor pallet.

16844972704178851663364916222535.jpg

Yesterday I put SIXTHS on.
Six supers is 15 gallons. Wow
Hey someone that's good at maff. What's $70 × 15?

[Ricky Spanish]

This is a "bee escape". Sitting next to a Zero centurion elite double-knot spy case.
The bee escape is a one-way out device used to clear supers of bees. The yellow part goes down.
At night bees naturally go downward into the nest to keep it warm. The escape keeps them down so you can pull the honey. It will not be long. I'm loaded with nectar that's ripening. Takes time.

16844979257325947466569679043989.jpg

Ill put the escapes on in the afternoon then return the next morning for the honey.
Slick.

[Ricky Spanish]

Hahahaha...funny and I feel sorry for Stan and all you other lgbtq Ford drivers.
