Not a kangaroo or koala bear in sight for the kids’ Australian friend.
After a couple of days without the rest of the family around, Za basically attached herself to my feet.
Pinning me down to make sure I didn’t try and disappear, too.
My latest package of glass panes. There’s just no escape from Trump news.
Oh my god, heaven on a plastic plate. Alambre al pastor.
Lowe is cleaning up on this birthday.
‘Merican s’mores are the best s’mores.
Time for a new sink.
The sink wouldn’t quite fit because it was hitting this piece of wood. I was standing there with the hacksaw thinking, “This would be so much easier if I could turn the blade sideways.” Then I looked down at the saw and noticed that the saw was in fact designed to be able to do just that. And now I’m left wondering if this has been possible my entire life with every hacksaw I’ve ever used.
Not exactly a major home improvement, but an improvement nonetheless.
I took off for the afternoon just to see what I could find.
All alone I set up the camera to capture this shot as if I am a great explorer forging new paths aboard my trusty 125cc steed.
Beautiful day, fun ride, and lots of vegetation encroaching on the roads.
A minute later I came around the corner to this. Everyone was out of the cars and moving around, luckily, but if I had to guess I’d say that at least one person was staring at a phone and crossed the line to cause that head-on collision (the white car and black SUV hit driver corner to driver corner).
A long unfinished home with a beautiful country view only about 15 minutes out of San Miguel.

Yes Pat, you’re entire life. Actually it’s very handy when cutting metals too.
Your scenery pics look like where we live in the middle of Texas. The tunas on our prickly pears are just a bit more red and our nightshade has been blooming all summer long. We don’t have ram’s horn here but I wish we did, it’s beautiful.
Ali needs to make some prickly pear jelly! So good! Favorite in Arizona.
Great photos as usual. The last one looks like our Australian “wild tobacco” Solanum mauritianum.
Why are your posts 6 weeks late?
Yes, two of my three hacksaws can rotate the blades 90 degrees. I love the small trips you make on the motorcycle.
It appears Za has become worn out trying to pin you down at home. Have mercy! BTW, keyhole saws have the same handy feature (rotation of blade) as hacksaws.
Reciprocal saws let you move the blades around as well.
Why are the posts always dated forever ago?
Either you are the first security that Za has ever known after fending for herself, or she has been abandoned before. She needs some extra treats and belly rubs!
