I just went out to clean up the dead bees from the deck and was interrupted in my efforts by robber bees smelling the honey and honeycomb that was left on the deck. If bees have access to ready-made comb and honey, they’ll take that in preference to making their own.
We had a trash bag on the deck with a bunch of pieces of honeycomb and dead bees, waiting until the hive was completely dead (4-5 days) before removing. Well something got into it over the course of the week and took all of the honeycomb out.
Paddy, I can, I think< imagine what that lawsuit must feel like. Wow. I’m glad you had some good news.
I’m more glad I decided some time in my 20s that I wouldn’t do any more work that required a license of some kind. Although… I do have a drivers license and I do use it in my current work.
I actually know some people who know all the ins and outs of driving without one. To be honest, it’s a lot of work. What you have to do if and when you get pulled over is complicated.
Also, it’s a bit dicey driving someone else’s car, or a work “vehicle” because it’s already been registered.
You have to buy your own car from the manufacturer, or there are a couple of other ways to purchase a used car, but that’s an even bigger pain in the ass. The reason is, you actually have to OWN the car. In other words, you must possess the bill of lading to completely own the equipment. Much like you would do if you bought a tractor or even a car or truck that was only used on your own property like a farm or something. Once you register a car, you’ve voluntarily given up certain property rights you have for the equipment in question.
You didn’t even ask me for the time, and I told you how to build a watch anyway……
Hows it going over there with the tropical storm? I hope everyone is okay.

I don’t mind. I like listening to/reading the thoughts of others with IQs above average. My mind is full of what most would consider useless trivia.
I remember my dad telling me about getting a job as a truck driver when he was 14. He lied about his age and driving experience. He got the job on a Friday, then spent the weekend with a friend (and a bunch of black market gas coupons) learning to drive.
Harper often eats Ice cream when nothing else will do. It causes her to lose weight also, It’s weird.
I got a bunch of Walmart brand bone broth. It’s a great price, but I also saw that there is now bone broth concentrate. I didn’t try it yet, but I think I’ll look into it. No use buying all that water if you don’t need to. Much easier to store too, and you can buy and keep a lot more. Gonna research it and see if it really has enough collagen, otherwise, there’s no point.
Tonkotsu broth that I make myself has collagen and gelatin which occur naturally in the right type of bones (you need connective tissue, trotters are best, and neck bones.) But store bought bone broth has only collagen, so you just have to add gelatin to it, which I buy in bulk nowadays. Both collagen and gelatin are good for your skin and nails, but Harper notices more results from the broth that I make myself.
It’s got to simmer for 1.5 to 2.5 days though. I kinda want to get a simple refractometer so I can actually gauge when it’s ready. They’re pretty cheap on amazon also, but you have to make sure you get one in the right range or else it’s useless for broth.
I picked up a refractometer on Amazon for brewing small batches of beer. They’re very handy, but you’re right about getting the right range and scale(s) on them.
Happy Dream On Caturday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven!
Sven -- thanks for the morning music. I’m feeling half-asleep this morning, so I need a little pick me up.

I went to Walmart today, and bought some staples.
