Having a hard time adjusting back to Central DST. It's 11:00 am in Iceland. I'll probably go lay down again in a few minutes. But that Paxlovid leaves a funny metalic taste in my mouth. I'll have some breakfast, take some more pills, and go lay down again. Here's a couple pictures for you.

Get well soon, Marshall.
Evan, Wimberley is a good place. I used to go to a Boy Scout camp near there.
Good morning, folks. Today I need to dismantle and remove an exhibit of my photographs. This afternoon we may go to the art museum or the library just to get out of the house. Enjoy your day.

Good morning. Claire and I will be setting up a home gym today. We've both been increasing our exercising routines. We've purchased a dumbell set, some kettlebells, a workout bench, a treadmill and floor mat. We've also got one of Claire's massage tables for stretching exercises. The battle against aging continues......
Have a great day folks.

Good morning, all.
Today is actually the 13th, not the 12th, but Marshall is excused for the error considering his travels.
I know there are a few fans on the forum, so I'll mention that Dan Fogelberg would have been 73 years old today. So be who you must, that's a part of the plan.

Morning!
I saw six big John Deere combines working a golden quarter of wheat yesterday. Each one of the six six times as large as the Massey 510 I spent most of my time in. That's 36 combines rolling down the timeline.

Each one of those John Deeres had a 30' straight header. In one pass, they took out 180' feet of standing wheat leaving grain in the hopper and chopped straw in their wake. That's 60 yards, or, in a there and back, a pass as wide as a football field plus both endzones and a mascot or two.
I would have taken a picture but I left my phone back home on the wall.

I love following people like you down the road in the fall, Paul. Last year I got to go 25 mph for 20 miles as there was nowhere to pass with both lanes pretty much taken up. I do remember a day when you could pass combines and stuff. They were smaller, and it took people longer to harvest their fields.
It's a nice day out there. I'm off to do a bit of work, then to practice with the Cedar River Whalers this afternoon, I've been joining them for Boomtown, a town celebration in Vinton, for several years now.

ePaul, I think it is time to ease up on the caffeine.

My lunch at a German-style bier garden in Wimberley, April 2008. I am unable to eat like this anymore.
Wimberley is a cute town, indeed. We saw some working cowboys there, too.

Beautiful sunny morning.
A week beset with first-world problems. This morning we dropped off Dawn's Traverse at the body shop - minor damage, major headache. I will be without a vehicle during weekdays for the next two or three weeks. Dawn will be driving my crappy old van for her client visits. Over the weekend the garage door opener died - a repair guy is coming today. Yesterday the microwave oven died, replacement will involve a paid installer who can figure out how to remove the dead one and connect the new one to an exhaust port.
Hanging around home today. Might cut the grass when the guy who borrowed the lawnmower brings it back.

Good morning.
58F-83F sunny.
We bought mulch for the front garden beds yesterday but won't be spreading it until it cools down a bit out there. My old Clark shoes are so worn they have no arch support anymore so I got a new pair. This should help my aching back. They are also quite "walkable" so I won't have to take walking shoes on vacation.

Hill Country Guitars moved the shop to Austin some years ago and then I think they went exclusively online and then retired. Barely a trace of them on the Web. The last video they posted was six years ago: www.youtube.com/@hillcountryguitars/videos

The last video they posted was six years ago: www.youtube.com/@hillcountryguitars/videosI was trying today to remember the name of the shop we visited and Google led me to the more recent one, but I think you are right, it was Hill Country we stopped at. And SALT LICK BBQ, omg ...

That was a great gathering. Even the little show put on by the Hitler youth across from our breakfast place.
