I knew it would grow tall, but I didn&#39;t expect the flowers to be such a beautiful shade of yellow!

The popped nails and sheared joints mean the walls have moved relative to each other. This might be normal long-term house settling or seasonal movement of, for example, heavy clay soil under the house, or it might be a more serious foundation or structural issue. If it&#39;s the latter, your repair will probably crack again as the movement continues to occur. 2024-06-30T03:41:57Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqeplqkf9afnzf23gn7v67585254g4fyhnpwwgnkk9rpp2x9cwhhgzyp6qmqltkn7lx5g6e4kax2gd98m8v4alny2kuhlq0fn78j78xadmu3uzn4m In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp5qgk3cg4g8um7am60hx4gdzd2lp3sfwr7jl7pkqns2qkx6preyg22gshw'>nevent1q…gshw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>My vote is for bottom left. 2024-06-27T04:36:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswxrfnt3nsmph9ypcsuxunye6w0perl3y9epqqqzkn4knc042rpwczyp6qmqltkn7lx5g6e4kax2gd98m8v4alny2kuhlq0fn78j78xadmuxr0cks In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg47d3kw9lkqzlp72wp56cdsxktfula8g0h0a8djwsuun4rsvqk6gkznmln'>nevent1q…nmln</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve got a dog, but despite being a world-class jumper (relative to his short legs), he&#39;s not fast enough to catch them.

There are tons of them, and they seem to have no fear whatsoever. Look at this cocky asshole, just lounging around like he&#39;s a lion on the savanna. Hey, dum-dum, you&#39;re a *prey* animal. Start acting like it! At least get out of the way so I don&#39;t have to step over you. We used to have an agreement where rabbits at least pretended to be afraid of people, but apparently they are no longer honoring that deal. Frankly, it&#39;s a little disconcerting to be stared down by a widdle bitty bunny wabbit like he&#39;s a gang leader in a prison yard... They&#39;re up to something, and I don&#39;t like it.<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/daabc85e3635ab8676224d70ccfe0e8de62cd7a9cbc189c4056fc1cb6f3dcad1.jpg"> <br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/42e7ed008d979fd62af675a8ae34772cedd943dfe717629b13515cebf8050adf.jpg"> <br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/76b5277e2c9d255608c71c72415acdf63c3d451b5262689bfb1b717e4fa7bc9d.jpg"> <br/><br/>#animals #farm #homestead #garden #rabbits #nature #overconfidentrodents 2024-06-19T08:02:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsylh09zdt2q9fyy4cxq47tw0725e3hwwg7xxqmpvxclqj55gy8t7qzyp6qmqltkn7lx5g6e4kax2gd98m8v4alny2kuhlq0fn78j78xadmu35gudy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0kfexkg58gjdpwm0k0ngmenrc2j6nn6pgx7ach2lkvgw3fah7qqgj459ek'>nevent1q…59ek</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve got three of those, and they&#39;ve been great. The oldest one I have has been in service for about five years. Don&#39;t expect to find parts or be able to rebuild it once it wears out, but they start reliably, run quiet, and are lightweight. They&#39;re not going to run an air conditioner, but they&#39;ll run some lights or small appliances or keep a fridge cold during an outage. I don&#39;t do much camping, but it seems like one of these would be perfect for that.<br/><br/>For $170, I figure if it saves a freezer full of food during an outage once in its life, it&#39;s more than paid for itself.<br/><br/>It&#39;s very simple to install a cheap hour meter on one of these, too, so you can keep track of maintenance easily. 2024-06-14T23:56:50Z
