    yes I I found the the icon gadget and and also the the microphone where where in. Like your version the best :) still candlepowering 

    I feel for you, that's a long time without power and too stormy to even go surfing 

    I guess painting by candlelight not easy either 

    have you at least got gas?

    Possums love ours but they leave the macadamias on the tree thankfully!

    the cockroaches have scared the possums off down here for now and after the rains the mozzies are carrying away the cockroaches.... 

    circle of life 

    the barby is safe however

    Macademia nuts are expensive here in Texas, around $1 per ounce, I wish we had a tree.  We do have a backyard set up to attract birds, including sunflower seed feeders.  The squirrels laugh daily at the idea of "squirrel proof" feeders.  But we do live trap rats, nearly fifty in the last several months, all delivered to a city nature park several miles away.  They can't find their way back, can they?

    rats have no sense of direction :)

    Macadamia's nuts are slightly expsnsice here.

    I found the reason on Reddit quote 

    My macadamia nuts are quite possibly from somewhere

    First time I ever noticed a spider in my nuts, most likely an isolated incident. I doubt the spiders survive the nut roasting oven.

     

    Oh you didn't see this here for squirrels . I think its wholly sick and am only posting it for educational poiposes. Not safe for work,

     

    excerpts from the comments section

     

    Did this once in my life. Goal was to launch squirrels and chipmunks into a field (cushy tall grass) behind the neighbor's yard. Tested several times and worked perfectly. However, very first actual squirrel sailed over the fence into neighbor's yard, right past neighbor cutting his grass, scaring the hell out of him. I laid low. He later complained about how aggressive the squirrels were getting, jumping from trees when he was right there. I said nothing
    Can you guy's please make a launcher big enough for my mother in law a.k.a Satan
     
     
     
    Damn. The squirrel space program is moving forwards quite nicely. At this rate they'll be the first rodents on Mars.

     

     

     

    good luck @Stezza with the cockroaches, we don't have any here because the ferrets that live in my socks drawer ate them

    Are you getting snow in East Texas, @SteveK?

    Lots of snow overnight and into this morning.  Maybe 4" and it all stuck in deep layers.  Apparently our suburb about 30 miles ESE of Houston (toward Galveston Bay) got more than most areas.  It's been a decade or more since we last had snow, so a lot of the neighborhood kids were having a ball, good snowball snow.  The sun came out after lunch so its all melting now, but still around 20F tonight, about 20F below normal.  Got the pipes wrapped, the potted plants in the garage, and a bottle of bourbon opened..
