Keystone State Thread

Morning PA!

Much as I hated to I needed to stop by the Lowe's yesterday for a couple supplies. I know we're not supposed to really go out, but a couple items were needed along with a couple un-needed while I was there (still forgot water filters, dammit!). Was a little strange as how dead it was, but I recon that's a good thing. The one I go to is in Maryland and is under the same order, so makes sense. The Sheetz near there was $1.86 so it was kind of odd to fill the truck up for $24, used to be near $35-$40 (never let it get below 1/4 tank).

Did get to mow both yards yesterday as well. Sharpened the blade and off I went. Kinda nice this year having an air impact to wizz the nut off there as apposed to normally having a contraption to hold the blade. Still hate mowing, about the only thing I hate about Spring/Summer. Both yards need weed and feed today and will probably wash a couple of the vehicles.

 

I put Just put this in the NJ thread, then remembered that I reside in PA now

Did a little recycling last night.

This just wasn’t high enough for gravity to do its thing well.

 

Morning Pennsylvania

 

A nice new Shop so clean and empty .

I remember those days time flies

 

Yo everyone.

 

Ah yes, raptors, or the reason it's not economical for me to get chickens.

 

Now Wolf is saying wear a mask when you leave home.

It looks like the carpenters are covering us for a quarter- any other Union Carpenters on here?

 

Morning everyone. I am like @Delta09 , gotta make a Lowe's run this am. Happy Saturday all!

 

Whelp, time to spray for ticks.

Makes me wish I could get chickens..

 

First of the month, food cards refreshed from the government.

Now what are the odds you would have a signed copy of the book of the guy in the video!

Coleman fuel works as well, it also works for getting pesky stickers off of things without attacking finishes.

 

Found two on my dog already. Luckily before they dug in so I could just pick them off with my fingers

 

I figured you'd see it lol, given the history of seeing it this many times in a week, I'm hoping to get more photos of it, that isn't through my windshield. I was scrambling in the middle of the street on my way to the firehouse, so I got a few and tried to get out of the truck, that's when it took off again.

 

Hope you didn't have to venture into the Chambersburg one, I avoid that one like the plague. Even though it's further I love the one over in Longmeadow in Hagerstown. There's the one by the mall right near my work in H-town, but it's an old one.

 

Update: Saw it again today, couldn't stop was headed to the firehouse for an apartment fire, but I'm positive now it's a Coopers. It's staying right around the same cluster of trees so I think I have a good idea where to sit and wait for better photos

 

About 13 years ago this guy flew into my garage window while chasing doves. He eventually came to and flew away.

That is really cool. I once held a hummingbird in my hand until it got its wits back. There's a picture of that around somewhere. But I don't know if it compares.

 

Probably nesting nearby, or found a feeder to feed at.

 

Garden time.
