Glad you enjoyed the music. i like the Metallica arrangement, too. In our building on main, the upstairs neighbor and i have a noise agreement, when i turn it up, he bangs on the old stream pipe that runs openly down the inside building wall and i adjust down until he slightly taps. That usually happens late, late night, as otherwise, he's said before, that he "would complain more, but you play good music."

Good to see you and have a splendid day and weekend!

Enjoyed the music selection. Especially the Metallica arrangement. I listened to it a few times and must have turned it too loud as my neighbor came out of her duplex and slammed her door! The unwritten rule in the neighborhood is no noise before 9 a.m. Central time! Oh well everyone should be up enjoying this glorious morning. I wish I would have taken a picture of the moon at sunrise to share. Just a bright yellow sliver in a bath of orange and red. May everyone have a great day.

Bobcats grow large up high, here, very large. Seen a few over the years, beautiful creatures.

Happy you are home and getting around and enjoying teas. Went fishing, yesterday, floating down the New River, leaves were falling. i feel winter is coming early to the high country this year.

Take good care and have a great day and weekend!

for the second day in a row. I think I am stuck @ home today, there was a Bobcat off into the woods on my driveway. The white kind. I am due to have all of my culverts dug out and reset with more gravel brought in. Very bad gully-wash this summer. I have primary power running down the center of the drive, plowed in with two phone lines. I will know if something Bad happens.

I saw my first turned leaf fall earlier. Autumn makes me regretful, especially this year after multiple health disasters. It was a summer of little heat here. And less up here in the hills.

I never imagined that I would become a fruit tea connoisseur. Trying out a black currant tea today, many honey overtones. I never use sweeteners. Blood orange tea is miraculous and hibiscus-red. Only one so far tastes like hay to me. I can blend that with something else. Who knew an ex-scientist would contine with experiments? That deserves a bland response.

Maybe the Bobcat can help plant a swamp oak that is still in its packing box but did leaf out. I am assisting trees moving north. Fast migration. That is how I attempt to alleviate CO2 buildup, plant more carbon-accumulating organisms. For inside, I got an olive tree. Now I want a fig tree for company as well. The olive needs up-potting. Pot and plant are together, paper-product "soil" is outside. Not sure if the fig comes with the wasp. I would like to be the elderly lady with weird fruits inside. Paw-paws made it through the second summer out. Still babies. Years before fruition. But bigger than the weeds. Except for some species of goldenrod.

Still not in sync with my house. But less than a week home. Steps made every day towards sync. I take my time.

@Arrow

nice story.

Good to see you, as always, enjoy the waves and sun

Lazy day at the beach today. Doin nuthin.
Update on that boobie from last week: Seems the crew here found him injured on the beach.
It had a fishing hook stuck in it's beak and a rats nest of fishing line in it's stomach. All removed he hung around for the day before feeling well enough to move on.

Nice 'multi-media' essay tthis morning smiley.
have a great day all.
