Almost every morning we have a gang of turkeys cruise in from the backyard to the front yard taking their time eating things on the ground along the way and shitting at the same time.
I’ve learned to look for a turkey’s black glue like silicon shit wherever I walk. If you step on a mound and walk the backyard your shoe will be caked with leaves forming a camouflage boot.
These guys don’t care where they go and will block roadways, paths, driveways etc.
Why did the turkey cross the road?
If you never seen a turkey do a fly by and one comes from behind you, let’s just say it will startle the crap out of you. They are super big and can’t turn in mid-air very well. They need amount of space to make a landing.
I don’t have a whole lot of experience with fighting off weeds. All the places I’ve lived at before it was fairly simple to maintain the weeds growing in the small patch of land I lived on. d
Now that we live out in the country the weed maintenance is no freakin’ joke! I bought a weed trimmer, the most potent concentrate of Round Up available. Between the two of these weed killers I should be able to control most of the growth. We’ll see.

One thing for sure, I’ll need to get a larger capacity backpack style tank for the round up mixture. The two gallon handheld is not enough.
I decided to use the latest license plate score on my end table. The states that I didn’t have will go on the wall the older duplicate states got screwed on the side of the end table.
The table itself may be a bit tall but I still dig it.
Even though at this very moment it’s raining you can tell spring is coming soon. The hills around the homestead are all green now. Flowers are blooming like the ones here on our porch flower bed.
Went to friend 50th birthday party. Plenty of Filipino food and sweets. I guess I’m marking this as a cheat day as I went almost 500 over my daily calorie allowance. That sucks, tomorrow we start it off again.
I saw a cool ass rainbow on my way home from work today. First time I have ever seen one at both ends touching down. In this case on top of the water from my point of view.
I drove up a lookout point to get this photo. I’ve been there many times before.
Either these guys are hawks or some really big ass birds. They’ve been coming around the back lately. They’re hanging out on our “whale” rock.
I’m not sure if they are the “chicken hawks” I’ve heard of around here. They are big, we are keeping an eye on our small dogs whenever they come around.
