They could be doing anything from surveying to research. Later they were on the other side of the highway just circling right above a small Grove of trees in very tight little circles. But when I had seen them earlier they were just flying almost on the ground between a Grove of trees and going up when they came to a obstacle. I can't imagine if they were surveyed why they would need to tightly circle one small Grove of trees right down on top of them. Just weird. Link to post Share on other sites
schlumpy Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Could they have been spraying pesticide or weed killer? Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesky00 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I went to the gas station yesterday and no one was wearing a mask. Not even the cashiers. And also none of those glass/plastic barriers? Geez. It’s a busy gas station where all kinds of ppl go and actually buy items like food, fountain drinks. What are they thinking. I’m never gonna go in there again. I was the only one wearing a mask. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

preraph Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I'm soaking my feet foot bath with water and vinegar. I wish I could do it more often but it's a struggle for me to empty the water out. Link to post Share on other sites

I’m never gonna go in there again. I was the only one wearing a mask. I've noticed this about gas stations around here as well. I went inside to grab a drink, and no one had a mask on. That's not the first time it's happened either. However, the majority of people have been wearing them in the grocery store I go to. I went to Whole Foods last week, and they were passing them out at the door. Link to post Share on other sites

Could be a training exercise. Or a UFO looking to abduct the wildlife 😛 1 Link to post Share on other sites

preraph Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I've mentioned that I have this family of blue jays that recently they taught the babies to drink in the water I've got out there on the ground in a shallow pan. So earlier I was watching TV and I just heard the loudest screeching. I'm used to hearing the Blue Jays cuz sometimes they yell at the squirrels but this was really loud enough that I got up and tried to investigate butter all went quiet. Then I happened to look outside in the water bowl was completely empty so I bet anything that's what that blue jay was carrying on about. When I was filling it up I heard one talking.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The BLM (Bureau of Land management) use helicopters to keep track of animal herds like horses and whether the land is being grazed illegally. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 They wouldn't need to fly down at the ground for that, though. I think it might have been spraying something but you couldn't see it at all. It did kind of look like that type of helicopter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

preraph Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Nah, it wasn't even in Texas. It was way out in the country. There wasn't any crops. It was fenced but just looked like wild land. There was some sort of refinery not far from there. Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Lemming Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Earlier this morning, I painted "primer" on the repaired portions of the kitchen ceiling. I had to cut a few holes in the ceiling to run the wiring for the new canless LED lights I installed. Oddly the primer matches the ceiling color almost perfectly. I was going to have some ceiling color made up, but I really can't see where the primer stops and old color starts, so I'll leave it be. So today, I won!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

schlumpy Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 June is half over. People in my neighborhood couldn't wait to test their newly purchased fireworks. I've been getting a show every night. I'm starting to plan for a lost summer. I just don't see myself doing any traveling and the restrictions that are going to be in place are not encouraging me. I'll go several times to the Zoo and learn the names of all the animals. A bit discouraging because each summer is becoming more precious to me. Drove over to Lowes today. Pretty busy for midday. Most people were wearing masks. Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 The whole covid-19 and being home too much finally got to me about last week. I just had to do something fun and it's very limited what you can do. So I ended up shopping online and buying some stuff from Dillard's which is really too expensive but I bought it on sale. I bought three blouses that I justified it because I had never bought anything there and didn't know that it would fit and kind of figured it would be too little and so I would have to send it back anyway but I would have the fun of shopping. And it all fit! And not only that but I ordered one more thing that I got today. So I spent some money. I have one place I usually buy my clothes and they're about half the cost of Dillard's even on Dillard's sale. Of course there's nowhere to wear them. Sigh Link to post Share on other sites
amaysngrace Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I broke up with the guy I was seeing and went for a motorcycle ride with this other dude the next day. This was the past five days. Guy I broke up with showed up at my house at 3 am this morning. I don’t know why I was awake but my daughter and I were talking and I told her I thought he was outside and sure enough his business card was on my car window this morning. Ugh, very very glad that ended. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It’s hard to explain really because he’s still texting night and day telling me how wonderful I am and how much he loves me but I didn’t really feel those vibes while in his presence. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

amaysngrace Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Yea he tells me all kinds of nice things. It’s not really that soon, it’s been three months. Today I took the dogs to the vet in my daughter’s car cause it’s lower and easier for my old boy to get in and out of so my car was here. When I got back there was a starbucks at the door. I really wish he’d leave me alone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
