Hey, Val.  I'm doing well. I cancelled my physio for the next two weeks. My son is throwing all the hay over the fence, so I'm just feeding the grain, and I'm only walking to the beginning of my woods for now. It's all good, and I'm feeling pretty calm. I just made myself a grilled cheese and Caesar salad.  

Mum said she's glad to hear you're doing okay. Me, I'd ask if you're taking it easy but a couple of the others have already asked and I don't want to tire you out so I'll just say kick back and put your feet up. Oh! Wait, better not do that you might overbalance and tip over backwards and you've caused enough excitement.

Aloha Val I still cant get over the nut bag who killed our Mail box but on the good side the post office is fixing it 

Hey, Albert.   

I think a mailbox like this might take exception to being hit with a bat/car.

I don't think so...it does exist...

Tales abound explaining how a red bicycle came to be lodged in a Vashon tree a dozen feet up. Some say it ended up there by chance, while others contend in was intentional cleverness. One former Islander, Berkeley Breathed, even wrote a children’s book about the mystery.

But one longtime Island family had laid a solid claim to the bicycle in a tree just north of Sound Food. Two generations concur that the bicycle belonged to Don Puz, who in 1954 left his bicycle in the woods, forgot about it and never went back looking for it.

Don received the bicycle as a donation after the family home burnt down, he said.

The bicycle wasn’t his favorite — it had hard, solid rubber tires “and skinny little handlebars like a tricycle,” he said. “I was too big a kid to ride it.”

As his mother Helen Puz tells the story, Don and his friends were playing in the woods together, and Don was the only child who had ridden his bicycle there. When the boys left, Don left his bike behind, walking home with the other boys.

“Apparently, he wasn’t too excited about that bike,” she said.

After the bike was discovered, making headlines, both mother and son paid it a visit.

“We went down there in the woods, and there was this bike in the tree, and I said, ‘That’s my bike,’” Don recalled. “I recognized it immediately. When I saw that bike, I recognized it, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen another one like it.”

Although Don Puz identified the bicycle in the picture as his and verified that he had abandoned it in the area shown many years earlier, he said nothing about having left it chained to a tree. And given the location of the bike within the tree and the manner in which trees actually grow, it’s quite unlikely the bicycle ended up in its current position through the tree’s naturally enveloping it and growing around it, as many viewers assume — almost certainly one or more persons had a hand in moving the bike after Don abandoned it back in 1954.

As well, the bicycle exhibits a somewhat varied appearance in photographs taken at different times because over the years parts of it (e.g., handlebars, tires) have been stolen and later replaced with similar parts.

Want to hear a good one someone hit and destroyed our mail kiosk and ran off and left there car. I called the police 

 

Our mailbox is a manatee!! It is a cement model of a manatee with it's fins holding the mailbox. One of our neighbor has a mailbox that is a lighthouse, another has a pelican and another has a model of a local landmark.

I hope you didn't do anything to annoy them. Peeved fairies can be spiteful creatures. All your best speedo pics could end up in Albert's inbox.

So the rain has ended but it's chilly (50/10°) overcast and blustery. We are under a high wind advisory until late this evening for potential wind gusts exceeding 50 mph.

It's in the 40s here, rainy, dark, dreary, windy.  Same as yesterday.  Tomorrow is supposed to be better, I think.

Good day gang

It's a beautiful warm and sunny day here.

The internet guy is here this afternoon hurray! Though we almost had to reschedule the appointment as the optical fiber main box is in one of the neighbor's cave and passes through another's  and one of the neighbor wasn't home to open up their cave but they came home last minute pheww! Tonight I'll have TV and internet and phone service! Yeah I know I'm a bit overexcited about this but guys imagine over a month with just phone data to hold you over! 

Through all this Looping is trying to hide in himself  at least he's too scared to try to run away.

I hope you're all enjoying your day and taking it easy (yes, I'm looking at you Gary )

Yay!! Happy for you, Tink.   And yes, another lazy day for me. My kids brought all my hanging pots in while I was away, so I might clean some of them up.
