Last Notes npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut when I was in Maine I contributed many bumblebee records to inaturalist. I know that they pull records from iNaturalist for the bumblebee Atlas. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut @npub1san…jgxu npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut pretty generic formulaic writing and books. Most of her best writing was 30+ years ago. She was foundational in early urban fantasy. I’ve not read much of her stuff in the last 20 years…. Just a bit here and again. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Paean (almost) to the typewriter. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut many, but not all of these type devices are there to help people with disabilities. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I saw a brief mention that Bangor warming shelter is having staffing issues. That is hearsay at the moment, so don’t take it for gospel truth. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut God is this true npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I made this map back as a teenager. I believe it was. Anyway, I can’t remember the name. But I do know that several of my friends used the friggin hell out of this map. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut In Maine, Google Maps can get you seriously stuck. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut This year, I finally remembered to post it! This came around the bird site back in 2021. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut who is doing doctor who audio drama aside from Big Finish? npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut big finish? First time hearing one? npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I told a 30 year-old coworker, who was talking about weird Al, that I used to listen to him in high school. (I am 56.) npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut how often do you collect from woodpecker holes? I think it’s mainly flickers that will drill a line of holes in a tree to let the sap run down. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut for around 17 years. I was the proud owner of Harley Macaw. A blue and gold with the personality of a Scarlet. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Yeah, I just scanned down through the first four or five. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut if you live where there are earthworms, just toss the coffee grounds out on the ground. The earthworms will pull them into the soil. And they will decay in place. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Did you also show him the XKCD cartoon on GPS coordinate precision? npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut yes they do. And you cheated! <grins> npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Bangor Public library in Bangor Maine has a library of things. I’ll try to get over there and see what is in it. I know it includes an an electronics kit, but I cannot remember what else npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut What are some good seed catalogs? Also I’m interested in some heirloom beans. I would especially like to get seeds for the Christmas lima beans from Rancho Gordo. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Oooh! An interesting looking episode!! npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I’ll be mostly offline for at least November, and probably December. I’ll also be in a new place, and getting a new job. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I've a (real world) friend who is interested in Mastodon. I've known her about 40 years. She is a bit hippyish, likes english translations of old french literature, has been very poor her whole life... npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut “Why is Bob the barbarian carrying a frying pan?” npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I like it. It would be way too big for my needs unless I moved my entire extended family in, but I like it. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I hope so too! Back in the late 70's, my brother and I would entertain ourselves outside under the big pole light, by throwing little rocks up. The bats would catch them, figure out they weren't food, and drop them. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut speak for yourself… the amount folks expect you to “wing it“ in day to day life stresses me the fuck out…. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut #bumblebee #nature #insect #pollinator npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut These devices work by reporting through the nearest android - or iphone for airtag - devices. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Those are innate to Mastodon.... I've seen a call for that before, I think. You can turn off boosts for a specific user, and only see their original posts, if that's a help. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut what do you mean “timeline”? npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut that looks like a McKays npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Many animals aren't as susceptible to the peppers as humans. Parrots aren't bothered by them at all. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut heh. Yep, we went on a wood's walk today in mid Maine. Sooo many fledglings. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Saved over to investigate when I have more energy. That sounds right up my alley though. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Probably my last mention on this topic.... Children of Men is supposed to be a book, and if its even half as good as the movie, you are in for a treat! npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut An old one, which I don't remember that well is "Lucifer's Hammer". (1977) A comet strikes earth. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Has anyone mentioned the short series the last policeman? npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I read it in early high school, which would’ve been 40 years ago and it made an impression that stuck with me. Every read it once as an adult and I didn’t find it quite as compelling, but it was still pretty darn good. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Having attempted to transcribe some old census records (years ago).... it's not the cursive. It's the scrawls. Much of the handwriting is atrocious. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut True, but he doesn’t care. He’s done many unconstitutional things in the last two weeks. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut why do you use a URL shortener? They don’t do much on mastodon. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Any good meditation apps that are very low price? I can't afford Headspace at the moment (which I used and loved once upon a time). I need to calm my brain, and get my concentration back. I also can't do it on my own.... yet. That will come back. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut The reason red/yellow bell peppers cost more than green bell peppers is the bright ones are ripe. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Thank YOU npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut "Who knows? Times change. Would you call this age a good one for unicorns?" npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut "From The Library of Jurgen Leitner" npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut In addition to trying container gardening this year, I'm going to incorporate dandelions into my diet. Yep, "weeds". npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Eggs are (really) strong, but I don't think they are truly dominant. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I enjoy the heck out of Wingspan. I've played it about 8 times - mostly as a duo with my wife. It's a good game with a decent variety of strategies. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Any good links for container gardening in New England? I live close to a lake, and there are waaaaaayyyyyy too many squirrels, mice, and chipmunks to make outdoor gardening feasible. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Most birds have hollow bones, not all birds. Many (but not all) diving birds (auks and loons as examples) do not have hollow bones. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut If earthworms are native to where you are, collect (hot brew) coffee grounds. Get them from Starbucks, gas stations, whatever, and just put them straight on the ground. Earthworms will pull them into the soil. It will take a *lot* of them, in a smaller area, but it will improve water handling of the soil. And overall fertility. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Oh, thats pretty. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Yes, this is truth. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Have you found other fly fishermen on here? Is there a society of them of which I am unaware? (Since I don't fly fish, that's highly likely) npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I had a EGO mower for a couple of years. It worked, but those batteries are way too short lived (total life span, not till it runs of charge). I have a Milwaukee weed eater. much better. If I had 1200 bucks for a push mower, I would have the mower. But I don't, so I don't. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut One thing to watch for - I ran into this in North Georgia - are rodents. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut A closer look at two of the blue ribbon pepper type. 1 from a "Frances Leblanc" and the other grown by prisoners at the Maine State Prison. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Blue Ribbon peppers at the Community Grounds Country Fair today in Unity Maine. I'll be posting a number of pictures over the next few days, as I get alt text written up. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I never though I would be eating a bell pepper like some folks eat apples. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I've seen these a fair bit in the Great Smoky Mountains national park. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Oh, I like this post! npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut The Sparrow by Mary Doria russell and the second half of the book (allegedly) Children of God... npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Roadside Jupiter in Rural Maine. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I've a friend who has thru hiked the Appalachian trail 3 times now - he is going to do the Pacific Crest at some point. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I grew okra in Georgia - it does love its long hot summers. It’s great fried, but my favorite is the young tender pods lightly baked whole… npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Pretty sure I posted this last year. #redDwarf #meme npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut As some one who worked with it a lot.... npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut As someone who used one of these (though more primitive) for 2 years as an early teen... good luck. Buy for performance, sharpen often, and mow even more often. It'll build muscle. And aggravation. So, so much aggravation. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Someone measuring something as 17 and 3/4s, and not 18 inches cost us 10,000 dollars (roughly, bit more actually), so I feel ya. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Even if you stay on top of maintenance - which most folks don't (How often do you have someone out to tune up the AC?) Crawl under the house? (if you have a crawl space), pop a ladder up to look at the roof? npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut They need to eat their own dog food? Have a ring where it deploys to their engineers machines? npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut I need to prowl your feed at some point to scope the drama, it looks like! Keep the thick skin please! npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Don't compost it. The active ingredient is stable for a long time (over a year). So you'll have poison ivy active compost, unless you believe in *very* well aged compost. npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Poison ivy is a different beast. I've cleared lots of it myself (and some not small amount of kudzu). npub13pchvf84qj9wjle7u7ensnc0h8k94xxf5552uj7gvpuh57tnzjlsqjdeeh Da_Gut Keep it up! English Ivy first crawls, then walks, then gallops, Yours is in the galloping stage. When you get enough beaten back, it will get easier and easier.
