My 8 year old granddaughter competed in her first gymnastic event today(against 9-10 year olds). She got first in tumbling, second in trampoline and 3rd in floor exercise. She was so athletic that she skipped beginning gymnastics.
What did you do today?

First place in tumbling, 2nd place in trampoline, 2nd place for her line, 3rd place overall on the double mini. Great first competition.
Floorist, I know it was 12 years ago, but sorry to hear your son-in-law was murdered. I hope the person they just arrested is in-fact the culprit and that justice will be served.
Congrats to your granddaughter! I've always been in awe of gymnasts. It was one of the few "sports" I liked to watch.

Thanks she is into everything. She also plays soccer and is a cheerleader for elementary football.
Bought a cord of split, seasoned oak yesterday. $130. Guy stacked it for another $10. I have T posts set up so that I can make sure I am getting a full cord. He actually brought more than a cord. His wife is an old customer, did a lot of work in rentals for her.
I purchased a fake chainsaw, cut a cord of fake firewood, and will throw it into my fireplace with the ceramic logs and turn on the gas, then light a match.

Matches are allowed in California?
If you pass a background check

But its not the same as watching a real wood fire eh?
Ask our two cats who like to site on the stairs treads above the wood burner
I agree Jon, but when it was 107 just 3 days ago, it's hard to think of anything else except air conditioned air.
I just spent an hour on hold to chat with someone from India. Maybe now that they will be sending renewal notices to the correct email address, my internet service won't lapse and slow to the same speed as a campfire's smoke.
Lost service a month ago and didn't understand why.............. I guess they were throttling me............ or were they braking me? :shooting:
Oh well, I guess I'll find out when when I get home. I'm on my rocket speed HP notebook at the Carpet One store, stealing their WIFI. They owe me anyway.

..........in all fairness, this went better than the 30 minutes I spent with them yesterday....... and accomplished nothing.
What ISP do you have, Highup?
I took my cat, Ralphina to the vet for her monthly shots (she has feline Leukemia and needs some stuff to reduce swelling and give her a boost). It helps improve her appetite and makes her feel better. While I was there, I made the vet cry when I showed the video I took of my brother's dog Shiro when he was dying. I took it so I could show the vet what happened. I described what he was doing before I started recording and how long it took for him to die. She was really upset by what he went through and said it looked like strychnine poisoning. My brother asked how he could have gotten into it or what could have contained it-- and she said nothing- that someone must have deliberately poisoned him. This isn't the first one we've had poisoned. So, now we need to figure out if someone is targeting our animals specifically, or just trying to poison animals in the area. It could be my nasty neighbors or it could be members of the local hunting group.
Meanwhile, the trees are almost all cleared from my chickenyard (they just need to be dragged out) and my friend started trying to get to the tree that fell on my barn so he could cut it up and prevent it from weighing down the rest of the barn and causing more damage. He removed some of the ruined tin and said that the side of the barn facing the woods has collapsed completely. But if we can get the tin and the boards removed from the messed up part, it might save the intact part from being pulled down.

Carved a jicama into a jack o' lantern for an art class. Made a block print out of it.

Where is the Photo ?
Microsoft of course.
A jicama is a type of yam that has about the same texture and similar appearance to a regular raw potato, but it has a sweeter taste and can be eaten raw, although the skin is not edible. It is often called jicama fruit. The J is pronounced like an H. so it sounds sort of like He cuh muh.
From google: "Pachyrhizus erosus, also known as Jicama or the Mexican yam, is a delicious, sweet-tasting and crunchy food similar to a sweet potato, though without edible skin"
So, he's saying he substituted a Jicama for a pumpkin. If you peel the skin off and cut Jicama in to thin slices, it makes a good snack. Kind of like apple in a way. It's pretty good. Now I have a craving for it but they don't sell it locally.

Look in a Asian, or Spanish grocery store .. It don't have the sugar as a regular potato either , So it is good for Diabetics..
