Duck Pond Redneckery

I tested my theory with a picture of the greenhouse without its panels on, taken from almost the same angle, and I used the motion blur in photoshop.

Axis of blur is zero degrees (horizontal) and the distance of the blur is 260 pixels.

Here's a GIF alternating between original pic and the blurred one. It makes the greenhouse and the apple tree disappear but somewhat preserves the grass, field, sky, etc behind it.

I think I just figured out how to make an invisibility cloak like in Harry Potter. I gotta get me some more of those panels.

you realize that uncle birch is spinning on the floor, thinking he is drunk, right..???

Duck is in for a correction to the effect that the axis of evil, be it visible, blurred, or invisible, is 360°.

Ya know what sucks about being over 40?

Nobody is impressed that I can still lift these big logs up over my head and toss them up onto the burn pile.

It ain't "Damn you're tough as shit" like when I was in my 20's.

Now it's "DON'T DO THAT, YOU'RE GONNA HURT YOURSELF"


"YOU'RE GONNA BE SORE TOMORROW"

"YOU'RE GONNA THROW YOUR BACK OUT"

 

[Duck]

I've still got all this shit to drag to the pile.



... tomorrow.

Waitress at Dennys had to give up her dog. So now he's mine.

9 month old heeler. Has all his shots and everything.

Hyper as hell.

He didn't know how to go up stairs, which is odd because the waitress lives in a 2 story house. I think she kept him in the garage.

She had to get rid of him because she's downsizing to an apartment but I think it's also because she has a 2 year old. This dog is WAY too hyper to be around a kid that small.

I think Sarah wants to name him "NO" because that's all she's saying to him.

 

[Uncle Birchy]

I was "Bored" and made my own "Homemade" Air Horn cable puller outta a folded up shopping bag and electrical tape..

Now @Duck the "few" jobs in past where I hadda Peterbilt or Kenworth got a nice braided leather cord pull your train horn..

Welp inside a FreightShaker or International ya just get this zip tie cable crap and afew weeks ago up I-65 coming outta Indianapolis some SUV cut off infront like gonna exit ..

Then changed it's mind about that exit and "swerved" right back infront of my Slow Ass "Shaker Crapcadia"..

Almost cut my fingers pulling the horn cord so bored off my @$$ at next delivery stop came up with this..

Lots of love and patience. Heelers are great dogs and smart as a whip, too!

I can almost sort of get his hyper ass calmed down by summoning a deep, authoritative, but calm voice and saying "CALLLLLM DOWWWNNNN" over & over.

He'll calmly lick my face or hands, then go pounce on Sarah, who has no "boss voice".

I told her to hold two fingers out straight, and swat the top of his nose and say "NO" whenever he's being too much of a pain in the ass.

Doesn't seem to work though because he interpreters any & all aggressive activity as playfulness.

I took two empty paper towel rolls and put them end to end and wrapped them in gorilla tape and I was playing tug of war with the dog last night.

 

[Duck]

I have to get a cardboard box big enough to trap the cat in, so I can experiment with the size of hole the cat can escape through without ripping the cardboard.

Rodents can squeeze through any opening they can fit their heads through. But I don't know about cats. I'll probably measure the cat's head, or just start with a 4 inch circle and go from there.

When I determine the smallest size hole the cat can get through, I'm going to make a cage or something to put her food & water in, so the cat can get into it but the dog can't.

As long as you don't make it look like a garage door pull strap.. You don't need 30 FBI agents swarming around your truck

Welp I didn't have any actual "rope" on hand..

But almost any given time I "Always" got Piles of Shopping Bags & plenty of "Tape"

"Theoretically" in my "Spare Time" could be a "Synthetic Rope" Manufacturing Company as I "Waste Away" at these grocery wharehouses & Truckstops..

No material "investment" either ...

All I'd have to Doo is "Braid these shopping bags for "tensile " strength and just wrapped abuncha crap- load Tape around that too..

The empty shopping bags also be 100% "Re-Used" Material..

But I still gotta buy Rolls of "Clearance" Bin tape and I'm not quite "sure" the "Environmental" Impact or "ESG" Score all that tape

That just ain't "Right" Dude..

Ya could've just three the kitty cat out told em 2 "Beat It"..

WTF man

 

[Duck]

I tried getting the dog to run along beside me on the 4 wheeler but he kept trying to climb onto it while it's moving. I was afraid I'd run over his paws so I hitched up the trailer and grabbed a milk crate for Sarah to sit on. Dog loves riding in the trailer.



He was afraid to walk across this old bridge though.



Any Amazon or PTL driver would try it. But the dog was like "hell no"

When I go in my back door there's about a 6x8 room. Another door into the house is immediately on the right and the steps down into the basement are just after it.

For some reason the dog is terrified of that little room. It's hard to get him through there when we take him outside to fertilize the grass.
