Love them! A big thanx! A pair of downies raised a clutch of eggs in a weedy old crab apple tree of ours a few years ago. The tree has become firewood, smoking wood and a really nice walking stick since then.

I've got one that's died and I need to cut it down
I'm gonna miss it because the only time I ever got to see cedar wax wings was when they would show up and strip the dried fruit from the tree.

Winter is upon us this morning. Cattle facing the south are happy to see the feed truck. Cattle facing the north.....not so much.

I know that many of you have conflicting feelings about the Russians, but the video is cool.

[Quick Steel]

Eustace, I admire much about Russian culture. Would the performers in the video be Cossacks?

Hardly. In the best case, their heirs or fans of a Cossack idealized image.
Contrary to prevailing among the majority belief that the Cossacks are ethnicity, in fact, to be Cossack is a kind of profession and for a very long period of time from XIV to XVIII century and beyond. In Cossacks unite different people, irrespective of origin, and to a time and regardless of religion, guided by a common cause and a similar lifestyle.
The term Cossack comes from Mongolian and means "robber".

Thanks very much for the information. I had thought they were an ethnic group.

Yesterday was the weekly get together for lunch with my buddies day and one of them came in packing this. He said it was an impromptu eBay buy. You have to understand, his wife just died a couple of months ago so he has no regulator. I haven't seen one of 'em for years so I asked him, "whatcha gonna do with that?". He said, "measure my feet". So I asked him what he was gonna do with it once he had measured his feet. He said, "measure your feet".

My first job, after my enlisted days, in the Air Force, was selling shoes at JC Penny’s...I don’t ever want to use one of those again!

I never see those in the department store shoe departments anymore.

And you hardly ever see any shoe sales clerks either. All the shoes are out on the sales floor. Try 'em on. Get a pair that fits, take it to the front register like in a grocery store. In my neck of the woods there are very few dedicated shoe stores.

We have a couple of fully staffed Red Wing boots stores here, but I cannot afford to shop there.

How are you enjoying your new shop?

Received today from Olde Cutler. I found the clean simplicity of lines of this Pintail very appealing.
