You should just skip to using only the insane solutions all the time. That could be entertaining, and if it always works, maybe you find out you have a super-power or something. :biggrin:

I hadn't thought of it that way... That could definitely be entertaining.

it's too bad i didn't have the exploder, i could have taken one out and had dinner.

it's become a way to get fresh air any time i see the flock walk through the parking lot. i usually go outside and chase them like a child because they run funny. i had one "cornered" behind a car once. it kept peeking around the bumper to see if i was still there. so funny.

It might be that centralcoaster33 is inquiring if any of the turkeys have old Mitsubishis (Talons) because, well, they're both turkeys. That would certainly... "eclipse"... the theory that he meant the size of their claws... ;)

took a ride down to the local flea market not too long ago to do some browsing and hopefully stumble upon some decent deals on stuff i never thought i needed. we found some hanging flowers that we liked, but we don't have a watering can. i don't want a crappy new plastic job, so i ditched the woman and made one last ditch effort to find something cool at the market.

purchased for a whopping $3. complete with lots of stains and a leaking bottom.

lots of cleaning, some caulking, taping, gf's artwork, and some paint and clear coat later
Image

but, it doesn't have a spout. i do have a funnel, but it needs the shower head rain action. wait a tic

behold

i've become so domesticated :squint:

super glue, clean it up on the bench grinder, then some adhesive caulk to further strengthen it the bond and seal up any small holes that may have developed. this whole little project seriously went on for a week. at the clip of a few minutes a day, then wait overnight for something to dry.

i've had that hub cap for almost a decade. saw a volvo turn a corner, while the hub cap went straight. so i went and retrieved it for garage wall art. there's still one small leak, but i got tired of messing with it and just wanted to use it. all in all, it works pretty well. been trying out my green thumb this year, so far so good.

the current list of actual plants growing:
million bells
fuschia
marigolds
thyme

recently planted seeds:
cherry tomatoes
green beans
green bell peppers
rosemary
basil

Fresh garden rosemary is the tits with some garden-grown red potatoes in the morning. You'd should expand your list to include some for that piece of awesome right there. :)
