Anyone in #Halifax Nova Scotia area, have a kid in school Band (or planning)? I'm trying to find a home for 2 Trumpets. There were places that discounted repairs for schools?
Some dings & a stuck mouthpiece in 1, a spare mouthpiece for other. I usually play "Auld Lang Syne" at midnight, once/year. I'm over it

@Lstn2urmama We have been warm too, and I have been sleeping earlier and waking up early. It's got to be near midnight for me to take a pill, after 3am, It would mess me up until noon.

I *need* nothing, but some things you never seem to have too many of: I have two sets (4) of Jack stands. I use them all the time, I flip my winter rims, not trusting the floor jack to hold a moving load. I got 2 more jack stands for $10 *you saved $56.99 today*. Bonus! Offset the $6:81/USgal of gas

Somewhere, over the rainbow πΆ
Just in for lunch.
I did this before 11 am:
Went for Gas (not so cheap)
Got Lumber (& other hardware)
Bottled Water/Snacks for today's BBQ party
Bags of Black Earth (Topsoil)
Snagged yard sale finds.
& more beer π
All home & put away.
Sssh! Others are sleeping π
I'm going out to burn now.
I rarely complain about the heat. It was hot yesterday, and again today. But last night, there was no wind. The open windows did nothing.
One cat slept on the window ledge, against the screen. The other stretched on the cool floor.
So, I let them hug a cold one π
@Lstn2urmama My wife doesn't like any snakes, but two funny stories..
My son found the largest garter snake I've ever seen and wanted to keep it. My wife is afraid of snakes, but in an aquarium, safe behind screen, he was to keep it. Yadayada, *ROCKY* gave birth to 29 live ones, and then they escaped. That was a day for the record books. I got a call at work, the snakes were out.
Then, the next story, me driving the ATV with my wife on the back, but I see a snake, trying to swallow a frog. Very cool, I took some pictures and was going to leave,. and my wife said, no, you have to free the frog? No I am not? Mother nature. Snake is hungry, it's 50-50, one leg is still out.. and as much fear as she had, she used a stick to pry that snake off the frog and let it escape.
It's taken me a lifetime to actually hold one of each type of snake.
Here's some great photos to show you our *harmless* snakes.
(I don't like Facebook or links back to it, but I saw one that I want to share.

"This is the Northern Redbelly
(Storeria occipitomaculata occipitomaculata)
Adults reach about 1 foot in length. They don't bite, as their mouths & teeth are far to small too use defensively. Their main defence is displaying their red belly as a warning to predators that they may be toxic... but it's mostly a ruse, though some of their digesting prey may be toxic to a small animal that tries to eat it. They're shy, mostly nocturnal, very fast and quick to wriggle free when handled, but absolutely adorable. You'll most often find them in decomposing logs or other places slugs might shelter. In winter, they're particularly fond of denning in cracked foundations so they'll occasionally turn up in basements."
