Good morning pirates and piratess! I am sorry for bugging out last night. I got a call from my daughter, “Grandpa’s Okay, but….”

He is okay, but I had to go see for myself. He got into a lot of mischief yesterday. He took his electric chainsaw and cut down a Japanese maple while holding onto a branch for balance. He fell on his butt and said it took him forever to get back up. He just couldn’t wait for mr WD to get there and do it. Yes I scolded him. Also got a lashing for not having his cell phone on him. Then, he decided not to wait for me to take care of the cactus my mom planted, geez, When I was a kid! So the report was that he had needles all over his hands and some how in his mouth. Mr WD said I better go check him out. The big question was how did he get them in his mouth. Now listen, I had told him to leave the cacti alone. But, if he just couldn’t resist, don’t use your hands. Even gloves won’t keep those needles out. It is a vile plant! I told him to use tongs and then throw them away. Well, he didn’t listen. He picked one up and a whole runner came with it. He had needles all over in both hands and couldn’t touch anything. So his brilliant brain told him to pick the needles out with your teeth. OM FNG G! My daughter got a big needle out of his dentures and his tongue was hurting but neither of us could see a needle. She got what she could out of his hands. Mr WD googled and YouTube how to get them out. He had the big win last night. I will pass the trick to you all. Should you or anyone you know get in a similar predicament, put a layer of Elmers glue on the area. Dry and peel off the glue.

Anyway, the farmer is coming over and I have to pick up rocks today.
Sooooo.....is that what I'd have to go thru to get some attention out of myne? :dontknow:
 

Yeah the scorpions are little devils lol. Was moving the sheet metal and felt something poking my palm was thinking the metal had a rough spot not little bugger was busy stinging away. Luckily I never use gloves with all the outside work I do so my hands are calloused and it couldn't sting me
Pass on the scorpions...
Thought the other critter was a salamander till I squinted.
A skink?
 

Ya know those commercials for life insurance? They say, don't stick your loved ones with your final expenses!!!

I always say......Maybe *that* will get their attention. :dontknow:
 

Awesome.
No skinks here.
We have a few varieties of the here in the central valley. I don't know what this one is called but we also have some with bright blue tails called well blue tailed skinks lol. I haven't seen any of them this year though

We've the orange striped and black salamanders.

Mudpuppies (waterdogs) we have too. Amazing creatures.
I've only handled a couple briefly out of concern for thier breathing and potentially delicate "gills". but they are powerful for thier size.

We have a few different salamanders and mudpuppies in California. Most more in the southern areas of the state where it rains a lot more. Here in the valley though we do have one species but it's endangered and I hardly see then anymore. They are black with yellows spots

Not too happy had to cancel my mental health appointments and waited for like a month and a half. But currently with the having to temporarily live out in the hills at my uncles till my family buys a home I'm too far away. Going to be crushed a bit because I so wanted help with what I'm going through and this sleep issue severe stresses me out and make it incredibly hard to sleep. Ugh guess I'm going to go work outside to distract myself as I'm not a happy camper at the moment.
 

Got so bored yesterday I polished up my little gold find. Why idk I guess I like shiney.
