Yet Another Trip Around the Sun

 I guess I could have celebrated my 73rd trip around the sun on the 19th of April…, but I couldn’t think of much to celebrate.  Julie passed away on New Year’s Eve and that has put a damper on any celebratory emotions that creep up on me.

But life goes on here on The Ranch and I am feeling every one of those 73 years in the muscles that don’t get much work these days.  Yeah…, after a really wet spring…, a week of sunny dry weather getting The Garden prepped and planted has reminded me that I still have some muscles.

I am thinking the two rows of potatoes will be enough.

This row was dry enough to plant the whole row.

This end of row 2 was still pretty wet..., another day or two should be enough.

And I will be posting pictures on this blog…, because Facebook has suspended me for violating  their “community standards”.  They won’t tell me exactly what constituted the suspension…, and insist that I do a “video selfie” and allow them access to my computer before they will communicate with me.  I emailed them and interacted with their AI Bot via a “chat” telling them I did not have a smart phone and could not do that…, all to no avail thus far.  And even if I could do it…, I have reservations about supplying them with even more personal information to include facial recognition data.  Oh sure…, they promise that they wouldn’t use in improperly or share with other entities…, yeah right…, tell me another one Zuckerbugger !!!

Well...., man does not live on potatoes alone..., this Hamburger Casserole turned out good.

A small fridge can be a problem..., if you don't use a flat plate for a lid so you can stack them :)

Anyway…., I hope no one thinks that I have just unfriended them since I disappeared from FB.  Hopefully some friends and family can spread the word that I am still alive and well and can be reached via email at “scottr@olypen.com".

And Charley Horse wants everyone to know that he is pissed about the FB suspension too.

Which reminds me..., it is Friday Nite..., and time for your Friday Nite Music Video..., with special thanks to Dave Watson for turning me on to Jesse Welles and this song....,

Oh yeah…, and let’s all hold on tight for our remaining rides around the sun…,  :)
