«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 334 of 334Finally got it back. Gave up and left the old screen and brought up another.
Who is there honking? Do we know?
who is there honking? do we know?
Sorry I stuttered.
Well, my naming the green barber pole thingy has really stuck! :)
Had a delay and thought it got lost in space. : )
I hear Hidey. It sounds like she is in the tree or really close anyway.
Another word for the dictionary? We need a cheat sheet and a dictionary.
Heard the honking, too.
Sounds like a starter to me, T-Bird.
Megan has that problem with the Flower Van !
Sharon - it really does remind you of a barber pole - I wonder what the techies call it?
Is it the starter Magpie if it turns over?
I'll ask my son the computer guy. He might say it is a green barber pole, though.
It's hard to tell what the techies call it. Probably something technical. Ha ha
Put another link on the prayer chain..for Dana's Ed please.
Got throught the doctor's app't and review Wednesday, going back for another app't with cardiologist Friday. Oxygen levels still rather low, they are going to ramp up the oxygen. Doctors sound like they know what they are doing, being very careful, and working to find the best treatments.
Dana and Ed are having a Movie Night at home together tonight, and Dana will try to check back in Friday later on. But they are just chillin' tonight at their Roost.
Dana appreciates our concern, and surely appreciates the Prayers....as does Ed....
xoxox
Thanks for the info Margy from Dana.
Headed on a quick run to CVS

Hey T-Bird , Megan has a plan for getting her van to start it involves crawling underneath with a hammer and banging on the starter.
Sounds like fun, huh??
Could be a bunch of other things, but that is probably where the mechanics will start. I have had the problem before, but not with the buggy I have now. It's like having no car at all !!!!!!
I do not know much about cars, but I do not think it is the starter if it turns over. It has to be started to turn over.
Later Mema Jo
Probably shouldn't bang it with a hammer.
Prayers sent to Dana and Ed.
maybe a rubber mallet ??
Maybe Megan will add to what I put on there...
Son-in-law used to do that to jeep starter and voila - away she went.
Got to run and get potting soil to plant some plants I got at Market last week...
BBIALW - - xoxox
Ditto, prayers for Dana and Ed.
In my unprofessional opinion, I think it is some kind of sensor. My Bonneville would go through periods of not starting and it took 3 years to figure out what was wrong with it and I am the one who figured it. Just kept getting on the internet and typing in the symptoms and VOILA, there it was one day. Guess I need to try to do that to the Honda, huh?
Thanks for the info on Dana and Ed, Margy.
I had a car once that had starter problems. I would have to crawl under it and hit it with a hammer. One time it didn't work so I kicked a dent in the fender and it started right up! :)
Later Magpie, I feel like trying anything when I'm sitting there.
Sounds like car abuse to me. : )
Ha Ha, one last TTFN.
Of course, my car would never duplicate it for the mechanics either!
You go Sharon... it could be one of those modules, and I forget what the name of it is. Some call it the Brain Box. Ha Ha, great name! Sometimes my Brain Box needs repair !
TTSN xoxox
Sounds to me like one our eagles is perched on or near the camera again....

Was talking to my daughter, and she said that you might hit a starter with a hammer if there is a flat spot in the starter. Sounds very confusing to me. I would not want to go banging on my car with a hammer, to tell the truth. I might be able to change an air filter, but that is about it.
I have actually installed a radiator in a car before.
Did the rain clean up the smudge a bit? I thought I could see Hidey better even when she was behind it earlier.
I'm impressed. I have never installed a radiator. Maybe my daughter could; she knows a lot about cars. She's the office manager in a body shop.
Sharon, I wha trying to figure out what's in your picture. I see it's two cute little doggies.
Sharon, you can do anything once you set your mind to it can't you?!
T-Bird, you are absolutely right. Where there's a will, there's an "A"! Might have to follow instructions sometimes though! :)
Brother is supposed to come tomorrow to work on some plumbing problems I have. If he doesn't come tomorrow, I am just going to do it myself. I have done plumbing before. The main thing in a house that I won't mess with is electricity. Way out of my league.
My very first car was a 51 Ford with a stick shift, and after about 75K miles, it developed a "no turn over, no start" with a very meaningful clicking sound when you tried to start it.
It was a broken "Bendix spring", which engages or disengages the starter gear to or from the flywheel gear. I forget who we learned that from, but several people knew about the problem in that vintage of Ford.
For quite a while we either couldn't afford to get it fixed or were not inclined to fix it yet....
So, every morning I would put the car in 3rd gear and release the hand brake; then I would get out and walk in front of the car, turn my back, stoop down and grab the bumber. Then I would "rock" the car back and forth until I heard the Bendix gear click into the proper position....
I'd jump back in, push the clutch in, crank it over, and away we went.

good lord jim
my car has 250 some thousand miles
I don't think you need to bang your starter with a hammer, Sharon, since your starter turns over.
Sometimes if the problem is burned contacts in your solenoid, banging that gently with a hammer or a crescent wrench will unstick the solenoid. That will work for a while, but you should replace the solenoid as soon as possible, since the burnt contacts will not get better, but they will get worse.

I once had a Volvo with a manual choke. Because I drove it every day, I knew just how much to pull out that choke and just when to adjust it based on how the car was acting. My husband never figured it out. He tried kicking the car, but that never worked. I loved that car. He never appreciated it.
Jim, I would be a little worried about getting in front of a car in gear with the brake off.
How long has it been since you had a tune up??
Your mechanic should be able to hook your car up to the diagnostic computer and get it back starting and running without too much trouble. At the very least, he'll be able to tell you the cause.
I used to work on them quite a bit before all this electronic stuff and when they had carburetors, but it's a whole different ball game now. Unless you've got the right equipment and some training, it's better to find a good professional and stick with him.
My current car is a Dodge, and my dealer has been excellent and more reasonably priced than many in the old days, so I'm still taking it there.

about a year ago i had new plugs put in
Well my fine friends don't let the bed bugs bite...especially you Eagled-Eye. : ) Later
spidey is taking over
Im going to say good night, too. See you all tomorrow.
I see Spidey's web.
Stronghunter, I had the Ford "in gear" and it was in safe situation, which would take too long to explain here.
We finally took it to a local shop, and the mechanic pulled the starter, replaced the Bendix spring, reinstalled the starter and charged us $20...about. The car started like new until the day we traded it ... at least another 25K.
But that was in the mid 50's, and $20 was worth at least 200 in today's money. That's probably why we delayed getting it fixed so long.

Jim
I think I just diagnosed T-Bird's car. Main relay. Sometimes the soldering points come loose and need to be re-soldered!
ocean looks fine....really tired , saying good night:)
I had a couple of English sport cars, with manual chokes just like that Volvo.
I remember my 66 TR4-A (Triumph). You had to finesse the thing, pushing it in gradually to keep the engine running right. Then you had to know when it was warmed up enough to run without choke and push it "all the way in."
If you didn't do it right, it would buck and cough and probably die when you started from a stop.
A fine art, but if you got it right, it would run like a jeweled watch.

Jim
I remember a Nash Rambler that we had when I was in high school....wouldn't start sometimes....vapor lock...did something with a grapefruit half and the carburetor butterfly valve to get it started....does that sound like something you've heard about before, Jim? LOL!
Ended up taking a panda nap while Jeopardy was on...argh! Ccaught up on it now...thank goodness for DVR!
Still working.....finishing up dusting in basement. Then I'm headed for tub! Getting real close to almost being finished!
I see we're talking about cars instead of birds. Ah, yes, Jim. We did all kinds of weird things to start our cars, BACK IN TO OLDEN DAYS. Remember pushing the car and slipping the clutch to get it started? Oh Lord, have mercy...those were the days! :)
New notes and Weblog at BWO.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Hey, pushing the car and popping the clutch still works!!
Had a car where you had to keep open the carburator with a screwdriver to start it...would that be the choke??
Thunder and lightening here...
Pouring now!
My Karla use to use a hair dryer to get her car to start. She blew the hot air on something to dry it out. WHATEVER WORKS;)
Lynn, Wanda...
I do remember vapor lock, Lynn, but that cure is a new one on me. ]:~D] Buicks used to get that for years, until they figured out their fuel line ran too close to the exhaust manifold, which vaporized the fuel. Once they rerouted that line, the problem disappeared.
Yes, Wanda, we all had standard transmissions and lived on a hill, so if we had a weak battery or left the lights on (not easy with no street lights out in the country) or the regulator points stuck and drained the battery, we would get it rolling downhill, put it in second gear, and when we got up some speed, let the clutch out....fired up like a champ.

Jim
Oh, for the good old days and the good old cars.
Yep, Jim...that kept us out of the repair shop for a long time. We wanted to save our money for gas. Maybe even a hot dog and a rootbeer:)
....And good old gas prices. 25¢ in the 50's!!
The cheapest I remember gas when I was a kid was 29 cents a gallon...and that was at the el cheapo gas station
Wlllll, I'm back from a lovely (if wet) trip to the "Panhandle" of WVa. Thanks to those that emailed me the phone numbers! I didn't get them in time but talked the guard into letting me onto the campus for a while (kinda scary since 2001 what ya gotta go thru to get onto a Fed. property! He wanted 2 forms of picture ID, which I feared would sink my boat, but I found an old faculty I.D.in the back seat and that did the trick. I also whined a lot about showingthe birds to my students for the last 4 years, etc. Actually, what really got me in was that my boyfriend is an ironworker on a huge project in Martinsburg (you can see the cranes for miles)and the guard was a former ironworker...I think their bonding over their manly deeds was the real clincher!!)
Anywho...a surprise for me was the campus...really lovely and well-tended, much like a college campus. I had always pictured a more rustic look, like a farm (probably from viewing the outbuidings below over the years) but it is really very nice. I was fortunate to see Hidey ligering for a bit before he took off for a cooler location and (I think) Belle bring in lunch (I was there Monday morning from about 10:00 until 11...I went early as they were calling for SERIOUS storms that afternoon.) It was incredibly hot by late morning, so I think Hidey headed for the river.It really is a thrill to actually see that huge Sycamore looming ahead of you.
Afterwards we headed into Shepardstown to look around. I was so impressed! It is a gorgeously restored colonial college town with one of the prettiest old courthouses I've ever seen!I talked with a lady in the visitor's center who retired there from Annapolis...she said it's much cheaper to live there than Annapolis. I know it is really a gem...very artsy with galleries galore. The architecture is just fabulous! If you go, stay at the Bavarian Inn...beautiful grounds and we had a delicious lunch there.
We also rounded out the trip with Harper's Ferry (somehow I was dissapointed...after hearing of it for 50 years I guess I expected more, but the town doesn't exist really anymore, just a tourist park. Charles Town was not exciting..nice, but "normal" as no racing was held this week.I was impressed with Martinsburg...smallish city with, again, great architecture. Because of the railroad, most of these areas were very prosperous during the Victorian periods, so the homes reflect it and the former railroad wealth was evident everywhere. I understand that Martinsburg was also once an important milling town.
I tried to get around as much as possible on Monday as I knew bad weather was coming, and come it did. I worried so for the eagles Monday nite as we had a ferociously bad thunderstorm with bolts zinging around (simply LOVELY camping weather!)It rained again Tuesday afternoon...heavy rain but thankfully no lightening. I think this is just a rainy period! NOT a great time to be camping...my hair looked like Janis Joplin!
Anyhoo, I do hope many of you get to visit them someday...maybe the open house this fall!! I know I'll try to get up for it again so I can see more of the inner workings.I loved it!
HEY tell Thelma, my van does the same thing as her car- may be a dead spot in her starter, I have to tap on the starter and cellenoid to get it to start sometimes. Might just need a new starter.
Nice review of our area, Susan, although I love Harpers Ferry, it's so beautiful there along the river. Martinsburg, not so much, and of course, I spend a lot of tiime in Shepherdstown, cause it's only about 5 minutes from my house.
Hi all! Oh my gosh your car stories are hilarious!!!!
Susan, glad you had such a good time!
SHARON....My hubby and our little pal Bill went on an Owl Prowl last Saturday night and we came home with so many ticks I couldn't believe it, even though we applied Parfum d' bug spray beforehand. I had 5 deer ticks on my foot UNDER MY SOCKS. EEEWWWWWW
Oh, Susan, so glad you were able to get on campus! Shepherdstown is lovely, and I like Harpers Ferry too. Used to visit it a lot when I lived in Brunswick...across the river and down the road about 10 minutes into MD.
The Owl Prowl was GREAT! The DNR ranger did a fantastic presentation and we met a Great Horned, Screech, Bar and Barred Owl. All injured and not able to be released. Then we went looking and heard then saw a Barred Owl, and heard 2 baby owls!!
Susan, so glad you had such a good trip to our little corner of the world (and state). The NCTC campus IS magnificent...our tax dollars at work in a really good way! That storm Monday was rough....thankfully it wasn't one that lingered---sometimes a storm will bounce back and forth between the mountains east of CharlesTown and west of Martinsburg for hours! Agree...not the best camping weather!
Susan, I am so glad to hear that your trip to the sycamore tree was a success. It really does give you a different perspective on things when you actually see it for yourself!
Where did you camp, Susan?
Well, ladies, I lived in Del Mar, which was/is a resort town, and so the gas prices would go up and down according to the number of tourists passing through... as high as 33¢/gal for regular in winter, and as low as 27¢ in summer at the Chevron. [Del Mar was on Highway 101 before freeways in the area, and all major traffic north and south moved on 101. We had 9 gas stations at the peak.]
Later, they built a Hancock station which was self service and had a pump with perhaps 6 different grades and prices, most of them below 25¢.
I don't know about back East, but stations in So Cal used to have "gas wars' where one would drop it's prices to say 20¢, and then another would follow suit and so forth. You might wind up driving 15-20 miles to fill up at 17¢.
Then they would have to raise the price again to pay the bills; until somebody would start the war over again.......

Megan, before you replace the starter, find out if yours is a brand, on which you can replace the solenoid only. If you can do that, it is a much, much cheaper part.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
You can see ZZ eating her bamboo like a little trooper now ... San Diego.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Well, we've replaced just about every part at least once on this old van, Jim. including both starter ( many times)and solenoid, and if I had some extra money, I'd buy a new used one and be done with it, it's tired and I'm tired of it.
Costumee lady,
It's not a "real" campsite in the normal sense..it's just out of town on Rt 7 E...right past "Taboo" ;=);Indian name starts with a "N..." right where the construction starts on the road and it narrows to two lanes....sorry, brain fart tonite about the name.Look to the left and you'll see about 80 RV's in the field. It's really just a field that someone started renting at a cheap rate for the out-of-town construction workers. It only has electric, but they're only there at night and bring their RV's. You can get a spot (in the grass!) for around $400 a month and you pay extra for your own electricity. Not my fav, but Rick says he doesn't need the bells and whistles.A tree sure would be nice! I'd spend a lot more time up there with him if it had a pool and access to the internet! But the thought of sitting there alone and without the internet ;=( is a tad gruesome. I will go up regularly to keep his morale up. He's never worked out of town much...really hates it, but with this economy there's not much work going on down here.
It really is a lovely area tho...very much like dow nhere where I live (Amherst, VA).
Sounds like you had a great trip, Susan. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much...could motivate the rest of us to do it someday.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Nankeeta, Susan!
Good Evening & probably Good Night to most!
Put a few Grecian pics of birds & flowers, etc. on blog. Had one more set of Acropolis, but it contains a video & Blogger is SLOW on them, so I'll have to post later.
Re: gas & cars---when I bought my one and only car for me on 2ist B'day, gas was about .33 a gal. & I could go a week on $1! Had a little British sports car.
In early '70s, we had a Chrysler 300 that I had to put screwdriver in choke to get it started before the ace mechanic here adjusted the carburator!
Well, I'm gonna adjust for bed--I wish I took another week off after vacation!!
Susan, that would be Nakita Campground...very popular with fishermen. I live about 6 miles from there.
If you had the money...or credit...Megan, this is a perfect time to get a good deal on a new van. Especially from Detroit.
They're almost paying the customer to take them in some cases.. Out here, anyway.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
I guess you have to take the jobs where you can find them, for sure. My DIL stepfather finally found a job...lives out of town for 4 nights a week, but the pay is good. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do!
Actually, it's been a semi-permanent campsite for at least 38 yrs. It was there when I moved here in '71. Mostly weekend places along the creek, which I guess was really special to some city folk! Not this one!!
Susan, is your boyfriend working on the road construction or over at the cement plant construction or the Air Guard constr.??? All inthe same general area, with cranes!
Susan, Hello! Sure enjoyed hearing about your trip--was so sorry I missed the June meeting at NCTC. Oh well, there's always Oct!
Well, I got neither $ or credit, and hubby has no job, so a new van is only a dream... but I figure since we all own a part of GM, maybe I'll go get my comapny van, it must be just waiting for me on a lot somewhere.
Hilarious car repair stories. I know that screwdriver trick! used to have use it on a Studebaker, which also had one broken windshield wiper: the drivers side!
Last time I was looking for a vehicle I wanted stick shift and wind-up windows, everyone thought I was crazy...wish I had stuck to my guns and gotten that.
So good to see people having a good time on here tonight.
Hope all is well in all the Eagle Corners of the World.
Better Say "Good Night" before it is too late. !
Not that I'm going to bed yet, but I know some people are getting ready to !
xoxo
Little bunch JD's in the neighborhood just set off an alarm up the street at a business. Same ones probalby that stole my Shepherd's Hook and laid the wind chimes that were on it, on my welcome mat like a cat leaves a mouse for someone. If they wanted something of value, they could have stolen my Megan Flowers but SURE GLAD THEY DIDN'T !! I think they probably got interrupted. I was at work when all this happened.
Never had a single problem here in the four years I have been here :(
And, the moved one decorative brick and put it in the grass....what's up with that? ?
Goofy...
Man oh Man, Loretta, those photographs are Great ! Love the birds..and your daughter is a beauty!
Well, it's 11 pm, do you know where your children are?? unfortunately nmany parents just don't care. Hope the delinquents get caught and taught a lesson. Watching the radar, looks like it may be raining again here soon.
Hey Margy, you can still get a stickshift...I got one....all electric windows...they are easier than trying to reach across the seat or in the back to roll up the windows!
That's it for me...flood watch out..surprise, surprise...
Have a good night, everyone.
Hugs to all ♥
Oh you're right, Loretta's pics are great. Love the bird wall. Headed to bed, nite all.
Margy, maybe they were going to throw it through your window! Glad they didn't.
If my flowers disappear, I will be HOT!!
Yeah, thought about that Wanda...though they might have had the sense to realize that would have been kinda noisy! I know where my little .410 is....☺
Good Night floralgirl -
What a perfect moniker for you! ☺
have to say, makes me real glad I live within the City limits...fast fire, police and ambulance....
Night Paula.... now that I have replaced just about everything on this vehicle, I guess I have to hold on to it for awhile, but next car will be stick shift! You are very right about the windows...and I have been lucky, no problems with them at all.
I can't stay on here..really storming here and the darn modem keeps dumping me..or rather, the phone lines.
Nakeeta..that's it! Rick's a Superintendent for a company that's working on the new cement plant..about 50 men from his company are up there. He's 12 days on, 2 off...really horrible but wonderful paychecks, what with over time, etc. Apparently they are really behind so many hours to come.I guess we're lucky he just started as many from his company have been up there since last August! So now you can see how I'll be running up I81 a lot this year! Thank goodness teachers get off the summer so they can chase up and down the highway, right?
I just called him about the Flood Watch til 4am...not good...that field is so saturated, there's no room for more, and they say you could get as much as an inch! It looks on radar like it'll go farther south..Charles Town looks to get a lot.
Sure hope the birds can stand all this beating! At least you're not getting the hailstones like we're getting down here...yesterday they knocked most of the leaves off the trees! I can home to a green driveway...totally covered the gravel...
Gonna go check thte nest!
Susan, I got the spelling wrong on the campground...I didn't think that was right: NAHKEETA...pretty name, I wonder what it means?
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Before I lay me down to sleep...I need to go back and see where Jo is. I haven't been on here today and I may be missing something. Hope she is OK.
I think Jo's okay - she made a run out to CVS a few hours ago...and I had an email from her also, Wanda.
Susan: The Library has computers - you can go hang out in a cool environment, you can reserve for an hour at a time. Maybe ?
Costume Lady...that's it! Have no idea what it means..I'll ask at the "office" some day! So your'e down Rt 9E? Why the dual-lane all the way ot Charles Town? That many people running to the slots? ;=)
I'm interested in your costuming...no too many of us sewers left, ya know? Do you do theater or re-enactments?
nite!
my laptop has wireless, so maybe MacDonald's? Ours has wireless...I tried at the campground, but all the wireless in that area are password-protected.
Next trip I'll check out the library...gotta be a way!
I think McDonalds's has Wi-Fi, Susan. $2.95 for an hour I think...We have a number of commuters who go to Loudoun County and beyond, Rt 9E is one way to go.
It's a busy busy little county.
Hi, Everyone,
I'm finally back-- have been napping for most of the day, off & on. Just thought I'd take a quick peek at the nest and see how everybody is doing. Read backwards a bit on the blog, and am getting quite a kick out of the car stories! I remember when my parents bought my grandparents' '50 Ford-- it was pea soup green, and in fantastic condition. I put 8 coats of Blue Coral wax on it for my Dad to earn a bit of extra cash. Boy, did that baby shine! Wish I still had it.
I see that Spidey has been busy again tonight. Is that Hidey at about 4:00? Can't quite tell. I've had a bit of trouble with the new cam arrangement. Right now I don't seem to have any sound, although I did before I refreshed the picture. The barber pole thing is pretty common, too. However, it's better than not having any picture! Guess I should just be patient, and maybe they'll get it fixed eventually. Well, I think I'm going to go and read for a while, and see if I can get more caught up on sleep. Gotta go check out the house in the high desert tomorrow, so better be really alert. (Sure hope there's no fog!)Jim, you probably heard about the big pileup on the I-15. Beats me why people go so fast when they can't see where they're going at all! Well, prayers for healing where needed, for needs being met, for a good night's rest for all, and for Deb and family, the peace that only the Lord can give. G'night, all. :o]
Yep, I was real close---h instead of n--Nahkeeta. Susan, in addition to the commuter traffic--which is bumper-to-bumper from Mtbg. almost to Leesburg, VA where dual lane highway starts from about 5-7am and back inthe evening--there is heavy local traffic from Mtbg. to the VA Center and the Coast Guard Center and the IRS just a little ways east of the campground!
Goodnight all. Prayers for all in need.
Megan, I can't tell you how many times I've been in that exact situation with the jobs and money... kinda glad to be getting old enough to do other things.
Hang in there, do some praying, and things will get better.
It sure is a good time to get a new Detroit vehicle though, and they need the business for sure.
I'm thinking of scraping up some cash, if I can, and replacing my 86 Jeep Cherokee, which is still basically alright, but it needs "stuff" ... tires, new window tint (delaminates after 15-16 years), new paint, new thermostat, new A/C (if I could afford it). It has a 5-speed manual and roll-up windows.
My Dodge SRT-4 was only built with a HD 5-speed trans, luckily. Dealers around here, thinking they make more money on automatics, only order vehicles with autos. I really hate that on vehicles that are for utility or economy purposes, but you might have to go out of the area to buy one with a stick.
Jeep Patriot, and a few other models, have a CV (constant velocity) auto, which works on a different principle than most autos, and which gets the same gas mileage as their 5-speed. I tried one with the "auto stick" feature when I was having my Dodge serviced, and I liked it at least as well as a standard automatic....
I'm getting kind of tired too, better cut this short (hahaha).

Hey, you guys! I just discovered something purely by accident-- I went to refresh the cam picture, and accidentally hit the button to the left of the 'refresh' button. It says 'Compatibility View', and explains: "websites designed for older browsers will often look better, and problems such as out-of-place menus, images or text will be corrected." In any case, I have sound again! Others who have been having problems might want to see if it helps. Well, g'night all.
Good Night You Night Owls. I am putting up some pictures and cooking fresh green beans.
Like your words of inspiration, Jim and Andrea... nice way to end the evening. Sleep Sweetly.
xox God Bless Us, Every One
Hmmm. Magpie, are you using Explorer?? I don't see that on FireFox.
I learned that when my 15 minutes are up, it's faster and surer to work if I click "Back" on the browzer and then just click on that link again. Works with sound and the whole 9 yards every time.

Hedgie and Magpie,
I was amazed at the amount of traffic on Rt9E! Coming back up from Charles Town solved the mystery...I saw the VA facility..didn't know about the IRS.I figured some drove down to NorVa to work. After my separation the first guy I dated was an old high school flame that now lives near Purcellville. It always amazed me how many people he knew from the Martinsburg/Charles Town area! His office manager of his company lived in Middletown!I tend to forget how far people will travel into a huge metro area to work (even tho I have family in Fredericksburg that commute into DC...a terrible traffic situation every morning and nite!) That being said, the traffic is non-stop (could hear it in the camper!) and amazing in numbers!
PS I liked a restaurant near there...The Hanger...great crab-stuffed flounder! Yum!

PS I liked a restaurant near there...The Hanger...great crab-stuffed flounder! Yum!
Oooops Jim- that was Andrea aka Ms. Bookworm about the buttons things. But yes, I am using Explorer. But I haven't tried those tricks yet.
Yumm, beans were good and pics are up on Wildflowers and Feathers links.
Just a few...
Oh yeah, Hedgie filled in the blanks on the rest of the traffic story! Enjoy your stay in Berkeley County, Susan.
Thinking of Deb and her family, and taking a couple of handfuls of prayers to bed soon....
All right now, two chicks being fed at Finney Land Nest, they were hatched on June 5 and June 6 -
Finney just updated their little note on there today, could not see about that second chick until now ☺ ☺
It's kinda hard to see two, but I can now...
Correction! Those chicks hatched on June 9 and June 10 !
there was a third egg in there, not sure about that one now...
Got my last set of pics w/one video on Blog---the Acropolis---taa dah! If I put more pics of Greece on, I will try to do Picasa albums. Haven't even dwnlded all of them yet. I'm enjoying it,tho--refreshes my mind that there were more good things than bad going on.
Some of the minor negs are no washcloths, no loungechairs to decompress your legs & one of the worst (no paper allowed in potties)!
Night & prayers for all & We Love the USA!
Just threw together a microwave dinner, which turned out pretty good.
About 4" length of Kielbasa, a extra big ration of brown rice, and a few spoonfuls of Boston baked beans... pretty tasty.

Bravo! Really nice photographs of your vacation!
Jim Bravo! Sounds like a very tasty creation.
I guess I am keeping California hours, time to convert back to Eastern Standard time and hit the sack.
Good Night,
Peace, Love and Prayers
Andrea... I can absolutely relate to you and your trip to Riverside !!
It sounds exactly like something that might have happened to me...
Your heart was in the right place, and you tried to "get it done." That's what matters.
I hope it went better for Deb and she makes it back home in good order.

5:25AM and Hidey is now back in the nest! Welcome home Big Boy!
Could we love this precious baby any more?
Oh, Hidey you've grown so much and watching it has been the thrill of my life that always brings a big smile.
5:37AM AND, Hidey's flying high again. Just took off after bouncing and hopping around the nest. Probably hoping that breakfast would be brought in. :)
Good morning to whomever might be viewing this early morning. I seeI missed Hidey again.
Bye for now. Must go to work.
Yeah - Hidey's back. Wonder what s/he does between meals?
Good Morning! Got in just in time to see the glorious Hidey up close and personal at the camera, see some bouncing and poof...gone again to explore his big new world!
