Tiz February, Blue Moon & coffee served hot

[Baltimore Ed]

It's been a humdinger of a day. Started out with me helping two sisters clearing out her recently deceast sister who was a very good friend of my wifes. Next the high scool called, my grandson was caught messing with his phone during class, iss and Monday suspension. After I pick him up and read him the riot act we go back to the apt and move 2 loads back to my house. We've got 3 wks to mty her place. Then I'm eating dinner and a crown comes off. Didn't swallow the darn thing. Finally after dinner I went out to try my old truck thats been on charge for two days, starts right up but I get the dumb thing stuck trying to turn it around and more rain on the way. I'm going back to bed.

Bahamas resort Baha Mar hiring someone to hang out with flamingos

Published February 16, 2018

A new resort in the Bahamas is accepting applications for the role of CFO — Chief Flamingo Officer, that is.

This unusual job at Baha Mar in Nassau entails living on site at the 1,000-acre resort and taking care of the resident flock of flamingos, the country's national bird, which will arrive at the resort this

While resort life sounds nice, the CFO will have their work cut out for them. This person will be tasked with protecting and caring for the flamingos, oversee the Flamingo Mansion — an expansive indoor, outdoor, aquatic and dry habitat where they'll be housed — and design interactive programming for Baha Mar guests.

The CFO must also have a degree in Zoology or related field as well as knowledge and previous experience caring for exotic animals.

The selected candidate will work alongside Baha Mar's Chief Scientist as part of a team dedicated to wildlife and conservation efforts. They'll also educate guests on the resort's commitment to protect, preserve and celebrate the islands' wildlife.


If this sounds like your dream gig, you have until February 28 to apply on the Baha Mar website

Morning All,  got all gussied up yesterday afternoon, and attend the wedding of one of my employees.
I don't recall the last time I wore a tie, in fact I had buy this one !  
It was a younger crowd, in fact I was older than the couples parents    way older  
They are Puerto Rican, and aside from another one of my Crew and his wife, I was the only other Anglo.
The service was in Spanish, which I understand sparingly, though not fluently.
I could at least follow along...

The reception went into the evening , and I had to make good an escape before the caterer served..... on towards 8: ish
as the drive and bed time was approaching ....

This is how a chisel is supposed to work.  Inletting for a paring knife with a short tang. Note the thin curl and the smooth edge behind on the nice but not fancy black walnut. 

Hard to get a picture of the edge, but a 35 year old Craftsman, was a bit rough from hard use, carbrundum stone, medium diamond, then a washita stone, razor stone and then a strop.  Yes it will shave hair.

[Baltimore Ed]

You have the edge there Delmonico. Talented fellow. A pretty day here but windy and a little cool. I was busy too and mowed my yard to mulch up all the junk that had come off my pines and pecan trees. An hour 20 minutes for an acre and a half. Not bad and my Dixon ZR fired right up. I was impressed. Got my 2WD Explorer unstuck too. Maybe I don't need the flamingo job just yet. Still got to go see the dentist tomorrow and get my crown fixed. And a checkup tomorrow too. I hate going to doctors.

[Silver Creek Slim]

I'm home from verk. Ready for a nap.

Slim

[litl rooster]

Rained while i was in bed this afternoon. . Will be headed in at 18:15 for my last day of week. My Thurs/Fri.


Major 2 i imagine there was pretty good food at wedding.

[Major 2]

Can't say , didn't stay ,   

[Delmonico]

Need to get a tank for the Bernzimatic, glad for a gas stove, wife is sewing in the dining room,
I come upstairs with a can and visegrips.  Turn on the big burner and turn off the kitchen light.  Asks what I'm doing and tell her I'm annealing knife pins.  Ok, whatever.

Sometimes she's scared to ask what I'm doing.

[litl rooster]

Glen my wife and I watch Forged in Fire together. If i told her that, she'd would want to help.

[Delmonico]

Everyone asks me if I watch that, nope, to busy to watch TV.
