The Hogsty

One thing my taste buds could not except was rhubarb. We are all different. My wife loves rhubarb pie, and thinks there is something wrong with me for not loving it.
Record heat again this whole week. Today is looking at 100+

Boiled spinach with a dash of vinegar. or, being of good German stock, some sauerkraut and sausage.
Southern poke salad and collard greens were something my grandmother made us eat.
In the 90's today and record heat this weekend.

I have tried that dish and found the combination very tasty. Then again, I also like vanilla ice cream with crumbled potato chips.
Hitting into the 90's today. It's not yet 7 AM here and it's already 72.

I am 1/5th Irish. I take pride in it but don't really go for the traditional food dishes. Walmart will take your old DVD's and convert them for you. Temps today are in the 90's. Going to the mall and use their air-conditioning.

I went to the almighty YouTube Wizard. It told me to buy a $30. USB/DVD drive. Then pair it with downloaded VLC Media Player software
to your computer. Other, more complicated ways apparently involve understanding Chinese.

I ordered a small portable CD/DVD player from Amazon. Comes with a built in screen. Good enough to go over what I've been saving from many years ago. Weather is staying in the 80's all this week. They are talking about breaking 100 nest week.

Good morning. As long as the time difference is not more than two hours I'm usually ok with jet lag. The weather here is opposite that what we see on the news. Looking for all sun and a high of 91 today. Found a lot of old DVD's in storage in the garage. Need to find a player to see if there are any ...

Sitting at home doing nothing. The temps will be in the 80's and I will be enjoying how the day plays out.

Big Congratulations on the 300 for your grandson. A life time memory.

Good morning. Winter has to end sometime..right? I fear the summers here will be record heat going forward.
Today is a high of 88, and it's only March.

Morning. Checking the weather and then I'm off to Pocatello. 45 degrees and a steady 50 mph wind that I'm going to be driving straight into. So much for gas mileage.

Tom, we'll do it one of these days, and if Mike can get up from AZ and Fearless Leader from Texas, we'll have a grand time. It's ...

Well, back to temps in the 80's going into the 90's by Monday. We are one of several states listed as having the warmest winter ever recorded.

Very safe travels, wherever the four winds take you .

Going out for biscuits and gravy. Good to get out in the morning to get the body moving.

They do eat the prickly pear leaves. When I trim the overgrowth in my yard I throw the leaves over the fence They are gone within a day or two.
It rained last night, maybe half an inch. All rain is good here. High of only 67 today.

The javelina are at the back gate this morning. Usually a herd of 8 or more. They make the rounds around the neighborhood and hit me up every three days. They have become used to people and can be troublesome at times.
67-78 today.

Arizona doesn't do the Daylight savings thing. Except on the Indian reservations. A lot of the local indians live on the rez but work off it.
Must be confusing at times.
High of 71 and windy today. 90 by next Friday.

Good morning . A fine spring like day of 75 today.

Rooster Cogburn's ostrich farm. Originally they started raising ostriches for the meat. Later they discovered they could make more money charging tourists to feed them. Still going strong.

Everything in a desert will either stick you, sting you or bite you.
The dry heat today is 58-75

As long as we're talking cactus stories, I will tell you about a golfing neighbor of mine. Seems years ago he and a friend were playing a round on our local course. He hit a ball which rolled up close to a big Barrel Cactus. As he backed up to take his shot his backside bumped into the cactus. Now ...

Good morning. My post yesterday didn't seem to show up. Anyway, to re-cap, the cactus do have seasonal flowers and fruit.

Goat eyes look baaaaad! OK, 89 and breezy today. A little yard clean up is called for today. I have a big prickly pear cactus that needs cutting back.

Computer problems yesterday. I bought a new router but my service provider [ Xfinity ] couldn't seem to change over from the one they were renting to me. Claimed my security camera system wouldn't allow it. Took most of the day to get it done. back on line now and looking forward to a 90+ sunny day ...

Good morning. Back from Las Vegas and CA. Had a very good visit with an old friend and the Sphere experienced is something else. Highly recommend seeing it if your in the neighborhood.

Heading to las Vegas tomorrow. A friend has been raving about the Wizard of Oz show at the Sphere. We have a lot of time on our hands
and a little road trip is appealing. Might even drive to Long ...

In the 1990's I had a seafood processing plant operating on a dock on the Puget Sound in Washington State. We had a 150 gallon tank into which we pumped 125 gallons of salt water to heat and boil sea cucumbers. They were then packaged and shipped to Japan. They love eating those things. Anyway, one ...

I am 81 years old. My drivers license needed renewal last December. I went online to find the nearest DMV office. The web site offered me the choice of coming in or renewing online. This I did, and answered questions such as " Do you feel safe driving?" , "Is your vision still good?" I clicked OK ...

Pouring rain this morning, Left over moisture from the California storms. Temps down to the mid 60's. A stay inside day.

I get my hair cut at Fernando's. A crazy Mexican who holds court over his three chair barber shop. He plays sports shows on his big 55" TV and comments on the game. He gives a great straight razor shave and does so while watching the game. It can make you nervous when he starts yelling at the screen ...

Windy today. Temps are 44-72, sun. The winter birds are starting to come back from Mexico. The hummingbirds, finches and sparrows.
I have a woodpecker hammering on my metal roof vent cap to claim his territory.

I'll drink to that ! 75 for a high today and for the rest of the week. I hope this early warm weather isn't a hint of an oven hot spring and summer. Looks like 6 more weeks of winter elsewhere.

Morning. Wind moving but not bugging anyone. Overcast. 47 degrees with a predicted high of 54. Fifty. Four. On the first day of February. Much more of this, and we're going to start getting an influx of snowbirds every winter.

Read over Draft II Part A yesterday. With a little bit of effort, I ...

When I lived in Washington State I had an orchard with apple, cherry and cherry plum trees. The crows loved the cherry plums. The robins and blue jays went for the cherries. That left the apples for me. I had one strange type of apple called a Buckely Giant. A wrinkled, light green baseball size ...
