Nice Van Dyke you're sporting there Doc. I used to wear a black one, now my full beard is a little lighter ;):crackup:
What? Wait a sec… That isn’t a prerequisite around here? I quit shaving 35 years ago. I would freak people out if I took it off now! ?

I shave regularly. Not because they would sack me from my day job and I'd be penniless full time farmer, driving a bang up ford raptor, but because, reasons beyond me, the mustash curls on edges and goes into my mouth, which is extremely annoying.

(edit note: I've been told that Finnish people tend to make very long sentences and breaking the English language "rules" on it. My English teacher, now dead, bless her soul, would have gringed on the use of colons instead of breaking the topic into more manageable chunks of separate sentences. Now I nearly managed to pull full paragraph in one :))

You mean that about 1985 you were finally able to grow something that didn't look like a dirt patch? :angel:

No problem, you used commas as a "vocal stop" if you were speaking what you were reading. That's not a 'formal' rule, but you can bet that 99.8% of native English speakers do that - but not English as a subject teachers :angel: ohhhhnooooo, "You must follow a colon with a semi-colon and commas only follow between a...........

I have a headache now :crazy:

Thanks!

I used to write and speak pretty fine English at some point of time (gave me a laudatur - An academic grade used in Finnish abitur and university theses, the highest possible grade, summa cum laude).

Then I wen't to OZ, mingled with Irish girls and ended up working with Indians. My grammar, tilts head sideways, is very less now (but I do watch Netflix on 1,5x since everyone talks so slooooow).

I have a headache now :crazy:
Sorry.. take a beer for it.

Phil,

Yes the sky is still on fire here! :sun: I don't know what's worse the 108 with humidity we're having here now or the dreary rain you're getting there.?

Was waiting to see you drive up the waterfall. Nice pics!
Lol I would've at least got a Pic inside the covered bridge but the road was blocked.

With all the rain and warm temps, the woods have a ton of varied mushrooms growing. Here's a collage of some.
