What did you accomplish today?

[Singlemalt]

I found a nest up in the peach tree. I think it was from the scrub jays we have. Unfortunately I think the Raven's found it and had a meal because it was empty.

You have any doves there? I have a resident nesting pair, working on their third nest this season. The first,including eggs, was in an untrimmed palm tree and ravaged by the scrub jays. They built a second nest underneath the overhang on a window AC; that got ravaged by crows. Now they are building one in a large overgrown rose bush. They are running out of time for this season.

any doves

Both kinds, the native ones and the great big eurasian ringneck ones. They are an invasive species and have no limit on them during hunting season. You'd get a heck of a lot more meat from them at least.

i set Mrs Budman up at the pool.....gave her a cold 6 pack, and some space tomato, told her to relax. Had also her 2 daughters there for a time along with all the grand kids. Later that evening i pulled out the poor mans ribs and the potatos and cooked them them up for her.........she had a good day i would think.....she was a happy girl by the end of the night and the plate was finished....

I had a terrific Mother's Day, of course just standing upright would have been terrific after almost 2 solid weeks of trimming that shit.

My kid came up and took me to K-Bob the AYCE Korean BBQ and the food was excellent as usual. We ate meat until we could not eat anymore. Then we went for dessert to the local Gelato place and they bought frou frou coffee and gelato, both excellent. Then it was off to the local pool hall for hours of pool and a pitcher of beer.

They even bought me a present; fitbit charge 3. So after finally letting go of my wrist watch I'm wearing a wrist watch AGAIN HOORAY! Best of all it will tattle on my walking the dogs or not, my working out or not, my swimming or, well you get the picture and best of all, just how much time I spend only moving my wrists on RIU. I'm beginning to eye my kid with suspicion. There could be a plot afoot.

Put it on an osculating fan in your garden for a few hours per day and you're golden unless it's using gps.

Ahhh I'd kiss you too, you're a sweetie, unless you mean where two curves meet?

PS Off to read if it has gps

Edited to add: It uses the gps in my phone. No way I can get around not having my phone with me. More thinking required, I'm open to suggestions.

I'm sure many RIUnians would like to kiss her where two curves meet

You could turn off location services on your phone while you're using it.

My parents went to visit my brother in Ottawa for the weekend so we got out of going to a busy restaurant this year. My partner is Polish and they celebrate mother's day on the 26th of May regardless of what day of the week it falls on. Kind of a screw job for Polish moms when it lands on a weekday.

Mothers day is a newish invention, I think it started 3 or 4 years after my grandfather was born.

Lost a brother in law this morning. Of course it wasn't the one I would like to see drop off the face of the earth. Mike was a bigot and a homophobe but I get it because of him being raised by his grandparents who were that way. He was straight forward at least and wasn't a self centered liar like the other one. They found cancer a couple months ago, gave him a year max, then he had a stroke. He was a few years older than I am.
