ID Needed

Update : I have come to believe that this is a Painted Blunting, Thanks to my Readers.

Pictures : I can’t figure this one out, looking for an ID. Forgive the quality of the pictures, conditions was not very good for these shots.

It definitely has a eye ring, and a strong beak like a seed eater.

Looks like a little green or yellow on the back?

Have a great day.

Hot Weather

Temperatures : The temperatures have been getting a little high lately, hovering in the upper 90s. I am staying plenty cool, it is just not so nice to be outside. That’s covers all that is on my mind today, no brain power being used today!

More appointments tomorrow … Old things need repairs. 🤔

Folks, do have a fine day.

New Rig!

Pictures : That’s right I have gotten a new rig! Well … okay it is kind of small (maybe 18 inches long) and the trailer is a bit rough cut(I don’t really have tools for Arts and crafts), but hey, it’s new, 😊.
I seen the little truck in Walmart’s crafts section and brought it home and, put it on the side of my building, and my next thought was hey that truck needs a trailer to go with it. So, I rough cut out a trailer, not as well done as a truck, but it works.

Folks, have a fun day.

Tech

Sunday morning coming down. It is a nice day here, warm but nice I think. I went out this morning and washed the truck off at the car wash and then later on talked with a friend of my on the phone for a good spell.

She is having lots of aggravation with her phone service on Verizon, as many of us do from time to time. She is also like a lot of us older folks who don’t really understand all the silly tech and the way of doing things nowadays. The thing is, she is a very smart lady, far smarter then I, but it is just these silly computers and how everything is done online now-a-days. I am lucky, in that, I kind of like figuring things out on computers (most of the times) but most older folks just want it to do what it should do without a lot of tech input from them. That works sometimes but other times you have just got to do all the silly stuff they want. Kind of like me and WordPress … I don’t really want to learn anything new about using it now. I just want it to work! However it is not always that way. I had to figure out a new way to add all my links back in the WordPress Blog, a while back after doing something silly that took them out. I do understand her frustration.

Folks, enjoy your Sunday.

Closer Look

Pictures : I cropped this one, a little bit tighter, then modified the background a bit to get all the little limbs out. Also took a little feather off it’s beak(likely from it’s last meal).

Folks, do have a fine day.

Oh, Beans

Pictures : Mesquite beans, that is. There is a lot of mesquite in this area, makes things really sticky for small tires on bicycles, wheel-barrels, four-wheedlers and such.

Have a fine day.

Appointments

Doctors, I had 3 appointments today in Silver City, about 60 miles away. So by the time I got my appointments done and got back the day was gone. Two of the appointments were pretty routine blood-work and my primary cure doctor. I’ll let you know about the other one when I get to the solution of it. Today I pushed for appointments for the bone Docs to have my knees look at also, so that will be more appointments. I kind of miss my walking. Other things are going to take priority over the knees, but I am hoping to get them out of the way as soon as possible. 🤞
With doctors sometimes, it is more relaxing not to know however, I also understand it is best to know! The fun of aging.

That was my day, and all the people I had to deal with in my day were all very nice, so I’ll call it a good day.

I hope everyone else had a great day.
