Not Finished Yet

The Fuzz did make it home again.

His Brother, while not in good shape, is more or less stable for now.

While in his brother's neighborhood, The Fuzz did get out for a short break on his bike.

Here's what he found.

Back home, they're growing a lot of corn, wheat and soybeans these days.  But it used to be cotton.

Here there seems to still be a bit of this growing.

The Fuzz wonders how much longer.

Tripping at Kerr Lake

The Fuzz has been at His Brother's lately trying to help out a bit.

Yesterday His Brother's Wife suggested an outing up to Kerr Lake, where they used to do a bit of camping.

This Special Handicap Equipped Van was obtained for the trip.

It was loaded with features to make life easier for someone who has trouble getting around.

There is a ramp of course.

The Fuzz's Brother could drive his wheelchair right up inside.

The passenger seat has been removed to make room for the wheelchair,

and there are tie downs to secure it when driving.

All this can be operated by easily reached buttons.

(except the tie downs of course)

Here's a look inside.

And here they are, on their way to a fun day at the lake.

Mystery Pix Revealed!

Voila!

The Fuzz admits, this was a hard one.

But after all, it was a Mystery Pix.

Anyway-

It is a curious pattern found on the surface of this old bus that resides at the Old Place.

As for exactly what it is,

or how it got there,

The Fuzz doesn't really know.

Fungus?

Snail Trails?

That is the Real Mystery here.

Mystery Pix?

Still no more guesses on the Latest Mystery Pix.
Come on people.
Well, The Fuzz says the Mystery will be revealed at the Stroke of 12.

It Can Be Done

The Fuzz thinks this is interesting.

If they could do it, couldn't the rest of us?

"Germany gets 50 percent of its electricity from solar for the first time"

"...now for the first time ever, that country has succeeded at generating over 50 percent of a day's electricity from solar. On Monday June 9th, which was a national holiday in Germany, solar power production peaked at 23.1 GW, which equaled 50.6 percent of total electricity demand."

"Germany’s successful solar strategy has been to encourage individuals to install them on rooftops rather than building huge solar farms. 90 percent of solar panels in Germany are located on individuals’ roofs."

From The Week

Of course it won't be easy, but the potential is here.

Or will we keep wasting of energy fighting over it?

Mystery Pix Revived

The Fuzz realized that it has been a long time since we had any mystery here at Kinda Fuzzy.

So, without further ado, we present a-

Brand New Mystery Pix!

Enjoy

And good luck.

Tiring

This summer The Fuzz has already been putting a few miles on His Trusty (?) Old  Bike.  And miles = Tire wear.

So once again it was time to Re-Tire!

The hard part for Our Over the Hill Fuzz is getting the thing up onto the center stand.  So he took advantage of the crowd gathered for The Not So Young Anymore Daughter's Graduation, and got a couple of the Young Bucks to help out.
The Tire had already been delivered from Good Ol' J C Whitney and was waiting in the shop.
So with nothing else going on that morning, he took the wheel over to a Local Motorcycle Shop and got it mounted.

Then it was back to the woods to put it all back together.  He took advantage of the time to make a few adjustments and check the rear end oil.  (This fine machine has a driveshaft)

Then it was off for a test drive.

Early Morning Fog

The Fuzz and His Sweetie have been tending to a friend's Horses and Kitty whilst she was on a trip.

One morning there was still a bit of haze over the fields.

The Fuzz couldn't resist a couple of pix.

But of course they don't do it justice.

It was a nice morning.

New Era

It's a New Era here in the woods.  The Not So Young Daughter has finally graduated from the High School.

Here's a couple of pix from the Graduation Ceremony.

The pix aren't all that great due to the limitations of The Fuzz's camera and his seat in the nosebleed section.

Maybe you can pick her out in these pix.

The Fuzz can't.

There was quite a crowd at the Graduation.

For a moment it looked like everyone wouldn't make it in.

But things worked out in the end, although it was hard to find everyone in the crowd afterward.

Then it was back to the woods for a Banana Split Party.

There were even T-shirts for all!

The Not So Young Anymore Daughter is the last of the 8 young'uns to make this leap into the real world.

The Fuzz says,

Good job

And may God be with you.

Stoned

Been a while, hasn't it?
But The Fuzz is back.
He has been spending some time with his sick brother lately.  But he has been home as well.  We might as well admit that he has been slack.
Just before one of those trips, he and His Sweetie had a pile of rocks delivered.

They wanted to add a bit more of a walkway from the trailer to the parking area.  Besides being a bit wet at times, there was a constant danger of stepping on little surprises, left by one of the dogs, or perhaps even a kitty.
Well Our Fuzz finally got around to laying the stone out.

They are simply laid on the ground.  He dug out under a few of them for stability, and rough leveling.  Then the sides were lined with some 1x2" boards from the Home Improvement Store.  Several wheelbarrow loads of sand were brought up from the creek and poured over the stone.  The Fuzz used a hose and broom to work this in around the stones.  It is hoped that this will also add a bit of stability.

And here's a look.

If nothing else, it will make it easier to see the poo.
