7:54 am

rururocks

no idea molly.. that's a bit too obscure for me

7:55 am

rururocks

PRine?

7:56 am

MollyL

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ru wins a crate of peaches. It was pretty obscure. I felt like godthaab as soon as I posted it. : D

7:56 am

MollyL

Sadly, that song got most popular after John Denver covered it on one of his albums. Bonnie Raitt does it sometimes.

7:56 am

rururocks

I actually went to one of his concerts but he was too drunk to play and they cancelled the show part way through

8:00 am

rururocks

it's too bad.. he's a gifted song writer

8:03 am

MollyL

Well, he's still kicking, so maybe he beat the alcohol problem.

8:04 am

72 Temple Owl

and cancer, too

8:04 am

rururocks

oh wow.. i didn't know that TO

8:07 am

72 Temple Owl

lawn is being aerated and reseeded. i guess the neighbors are awake now. i need to get going to the country fair. itching to fet to the barn sale.

8:11 am

rururocks

I avoided having a lawn it uses up too much water and it would be a fortune to have one

8:12 am

bichon

Never water my lawn, but in CA it's necessary

8:19 am

godthaab

But everyone knows this guy!!!

8:26 am

8:30 am

welki

'morning, babblers

8:32 am

rururocks

morning welks

8:33 am

welki

how goes it, ru? me, i'm sitting by the bay window waiting for the reported big black bear to stroll by. (husband can walk the dog this morning! *LOL*)

8:35 am

rururocks

wow... in the neighborhood? yikes

8:35 am

rururocks

we just have to deal with Jehovah Witnesses here :D

8:36 am

welki

we're at the lake - lots of wildlife on parade. moose, deer, badgers, coyotes...

8:36 am

rururocks

that'd be cool to see moose wandering around

8:36 am

welki

but this bear was walking right behind our place - on the 18th fairway!

8:37 am

rururocks

wow... i didn't know bears golf :D

8:37 am

welki

couple years ago, there was a moose and her calf

8:38 am

rururocks

that would be awesome.. i think moose are really interesting creatures

8:38 am

welki

sure they do, shots are unpredictable, though. lack of thumbs, i guess

8:38 am

rururocks

do you and your hubbie golf a lot?

8:39 am

welki

years ago, we were flyfishing in a lake in southern alberta (not that kind of flyfishing) - we were in belly boats and a moose swam right next to me with her calf. i froze, wouldn't move until they were FAR away

8:39 am

welki

he golfs a lot, i've not golfed since my surgery. maybe next year

8:40 am

rururocks

i have never golfed ... i doubt i have the coordination to do it

8:40 am

welki

i stink at golf, though - once won a prize at a tournament for being 'the most honest golfer'

8:42 am

rururocks

i think if i played golf they'd award me a handicap placard

8:43 am

rururocks

i was very good at tennis however

8:44 am

welki

heh - i take the max handicap at tournaments. it's really a horrible sport. and we were surprised last weekend when we found one of our big windows broken - nice round indentation in it. of course, it's a special order, waiting on the estimate

8:44 am

saanichcat

Ru, you might be really good at golf! Why don't you try it sometime? Obviously coordinated if you can play tennis.

8:44 am

sukee

geez, I have a day off and it's a tiny grid.

8:44 am

welki

<--- agrees with saanich

8:45 am

rururocks

i don't know saanich.. i kind of doubt it..

8:46 am

saanichcat

hmmmm, just wait til you get back up this way....

8:46 am

sukee

I was only good at playing soccer when I was younger. Found out in my 30s I have a muscular problem so my uncoordination at sports like tennis and baseball was not due to me being lazy :)

8:46 am

welki

it's a social game, ru - no one expects you to be a professional golfer

8:47 am

saanichcat

This is Golf Course Land here. Any type, any skills. Or you can go to those places where you drive balls into big nets. I'll be your vaddie!

8:48 am

saanichcat

ah, that would be CADDIE

8:48 am

rururocks

You would laugh your ass off saanich

8:49 am

sukee

You could start with mini golf and work your way up :)

8:49 am

welki

we'd be good golf partners - someone once said about my golfing, "you can't make this shit up"

8:49 am

rururocks

I sucked at mini golf as a kid

8:49 am

saanichcat

We'll do it together. I've never played either.

8:50 am

welki

ohh, a babble golf team

8:50 am

saanichcat

They probably were playing bagpipess at the mini-golf place.

8:51 am

rururocks

The Naoi putting team

8:51 am

rururocks

Lol saanich. That would do it

8:52 am

rururocks

I hate bagpipes even more than abba

8:52 am

sukee

I was born in Scotland, lived there until I was 12. I do not like bagpipes either.

8:53 am

sukee

You don't want to offend the Abba fans do you ru? ;)

8:53 am

saanichcat

Bagpipes bring tears to my eyes. I love them. (except the marching bands, don't much care for that)

8:53 am

rururocks

That would be my idea of hell abba songs played by bagpipes

8:53 am

saanichcat

WHAT Abba fans???

8:53 am

sukee

lol

8:55 am

rururocks

Anyone seen cybernan lately? I hope she is ok

8:56 am

welki

i haven't - she was in a hurricane zone?

8:57 am

saanichcat

just for you ru, and it it truly truly awful

8:57 am

rururocks

No. Not in the BC wine country

8:57 am

saanichcat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ijc6h1\n8poQM

8:57 am

welki

i thought she posted something about being away - must be confusing her with someone else

8:58 am

sukee

Lol, it is a thing.

8:58 am

rururocks

Oh maybe she is just traveling

9:00 am

sukee

I also found this one https://youtu.be/CirN7iBlBdg

9:03 am

saanichcat

hey that's not too bad!! Hell of a way to begin the morning, and first time I have seen pipers dance, looks rather difficult with all those pipes. I guess you say this is for a very specific audience! 2, 215 views..

9:11 am

rururocks

i remember the bagpipe and lute concert that was a comedic album

9:14 am

saanichcat

Was it funny? A whole concert? (with lots of intermissions for refreshments)

9:23 am

rururocks

it was as a kid.. very funny

9:27 am
