Pitchers and catchers report today!
Feels like spring today. If you stretch picture you can see the Point in Dana Point. Years ago I had a guy hire me to keep his boat detailed for their charters. One of the bigger boats in the harbor at the time. We used it and then they had a 24 hour charter in Newport Beach where my buddy the captain had to skipper. After dropping off clients the owner let my friend sleep and he took control, set his navigation coordinates and ...fell asleep. The boat hit the Point and was beached. News crews everywhere. One of the dumbest things I've seen around here.

I shoveled that because my snowblower kept dying, I got out on the first flight south.
Finally got internet back.
Though half of Salem is still without power (we got ours back in 24 hrs),
but my powerline is still laying on the driveway.
Truck in the shop for repairs
So worked my chainsaw to death
cutting up debris,
only problem now is that i do not have a truck
to haul it away.
A few photos of the piles of smaller debris.
I consider myself lucky after this ice storm,
it seems Texas has been hit harder by same jet stream system.

Very true. Here is a pic of my street:
Screenshot_20210217-184140~2 (resized).pngIts nice enough here for us to go off cruising on 3 different models of 1998 Harley Davidson bicycles which I converted into electric bikes. They made 1000 bicycles of each model. I added 1000 watt motors, battery in a saddlebag, and a few other things . Top model comes with factory saddlebags. Could go probably 90 miles utilizing both saddlebags with batteries. They top out a little over 30 mph, but I like cruising everywhere about 20. Super fun exercise. Always women everywhere around here exercising. The amber whiskey colored bike was blue like the other, but a Harley guy painted this color at his shop to match his motorcycle. I built a total of 8 of these 3 different styles. 3 were NIB. Others were bought from people who didn't ride them. The top model was priced at 2500 in 1998. Which is why there are some still NIB out there. These bikes get a crazy amount of attention in a town literally full of ebikes.
Quoted from Daditude:Very true. Here is a pic of my street:
I also noticed it had turned to Hoth around here!
No At-At around my place though.

Don’t let the swamp people see him
Quoted from pinwiztom:I am beginning to think you are just bragging and rubbing it in, about your great weather in Dana Point.
I'm from San Clemente.
No joking though. I hope everyone is ok in Tx and wherever the extreme weather is.

Quoted from Jaybird815:86 degrees in the Glades today, what was the temp there ?
Stuck at 75.

I hear ya. Spring is on its way. If you stretch picture you see a lot of surfers in the water and some stand up paddling.

Was looking into a sports license a couple months back. Can't get my GA due to bypasses.
You can get some really nice little two seaters for the price of a luxury car.

Decided i'd rather squander the necessary brain cells on alcohol and drugs.
My flight instructor has been thru bypass surgery. I have been thinking about selling my race boat to cover the cost of a light plane.

Are there benefits to feeding them a dead mouse vs a live mouse?
Less struggle or risk of the snake getting scratched or bitten?

Besides the unneedful cruelty, it's a risk to the snake of injury.
There's a local bloke here who has a backyard part time business and supplies the whole area. Each bag of mice or rats is $11 from him or $25 if you buy them from the pet shop. 
The bags just have less in them the bigger the animals get, the medium rats that my larger snake went up to has three rats, the small rat in the picture is 4 to a bag.
They eat once a week.
He got there in the end.
You have to stretch picture to see a fan man in the sky. Look kinda like a skydiver. There were 4 of these guys cruising the coast from the air. This is the bike and pedestrian lanes from Dana Point to San Clemente along coast hwy.
I have been to one heavyweight boxing championship. Holyfield vs Bowe. We saw this guy flying in the air circling the ring. Then all of a sudden as the fight was raging he decided to fly into the ring. Fan Man they called him. Judge gave him something like 30 days. To be served a day at a time whenever a outdoor fight was being held. He announced he was going fly into the next Super Bowl. They were playing in a dome that year.

Very cool.
I don’t know why, but for some reason I was under the false impression that snakes would only eat live food.
I learned something new
We've been singing that for 10 minutes now. Wife is pissed and can't get it out of my head. Easy to learn, hard to master

I remember i once spent a couple days experimenting with ways to say 'chicken'.
Missus was ready to kill me and the grandkids wouldn't get in the car with me.
Chick....EnPunkin
Instead of cussin sayin the MF word, just say: You Chicken Plucker!
Say it enough times for a day or two and you can also drive the family crazy with that one too.
