Nah,
We’re still getting to know each other

Well said.

 

[RivennHewn]

Not really my intentions, but “Flaming Torso” is kinda where this thing is leading me.

Interesting artwork.

A little midnight burn (close enough for an old fart).

Cleaning up the scraps and waste, and having an enjoyable time doing it.

Looks like you could use a few fellow GJ'ers up there to help you enjoy that fire, Riv.

Damn, missed out on a road trip.

 

[Ton ton]

I agree.

Y’all are welcome anytime!

 

[PugetDude]

Y’all are welcome anytime!

Ya got room for my RV, Riv?

 

[Toolfool]

Y’all are welcome anytime!

I haven't been back since we moved ( mostly covid time). Will need to visit a few friends eventually. One of my buddies on Whidbey was taken suddenly by cancer last year.

Hell, I even have hookups!

Sorry to hear.

Having a little chainsaw fun

 

[RivennHewn]

Found a place to park the chainsaw “thing”.

Done with it for now, might cut on it more sometime.

 

[PugetDude]

Well done, Riv!

I christen it "Calypso Calling"

"The sun is going down on me
As she surrenders to the sea
So steal the night and fly with me
I'm calling, I'm calling"

...with apologies to Geri Halliwell

 

[RickP]

It looks good there.

I could definitely handle waking up to your water view every morning. I'll bet you're pretty glad you moved out of the city.

 

[RTM]

You just need to position it so it can “catch” the sun or moon some time, that sorta looks like a thumb and finger

 

[RivennHewn]

Hadn’t heard that one before

It’s hard

Some days I love the channel view, some days I love the inland view.

Beautiful picture, Rivennhewn.

Careful what you wish for, John.

You know you’re going to have that song stuck in your head all day now.

 

[Toolfool]

Nope. Old enough now that NOTHING sticks in this head all day.

 

[RivennHewn]

Tulips in full bloom now, and tulip traffic in full Force.

 

[RivennHewn]

Careful what you wish for, John.

You know you’re going to have that song stuck in your head all day now.

Just No.

 

[RivennHewn]

Beautiful day with a low tide. I thought I’d sample some oysters.

Picked up a couple natives too.

Can you please explain what's going on here? I got the oyster harvesting thing, but what's with the wire? Are those man-made for oysters?

 

[RivennHewn]

We have heavy plastic mesh bags that hold the oysters. They are zip tied to chains that are anchored to the beach.

We get some pretty strong currents.

Sorry, but I’m not **** retentive enough to clip my zip ties. Actually, leaving them long makes them easier to find in the mud and seaweed.

 

[bulletpruf]

Ok, but do you have to populate (seed?) the plastic mesh bags or do the oyster larvae just find these bags and attach themselves? How often do you harvest?

 

[RivennHewn]

Yes, we buy seed oysters. They take 18-24 months, depending on how big you like them.

This is our first try at this. We started with 400 seedlings. They should be fully ready mid summer.

Too nice this afternoon to not get the skiff out.

Went hunting for logs, but found other gold.

Then the neighbor caught me with his drone.

 

[budget76]

you found the chain/rings/axe? nice day of hunting if so

I can picture you and Bronson tooling around in that little tugboat…

 

[Ton ton]

I like the bridge in the one picture.

Thanks Ton ton!

Made for a fun afternoon

No work !?

 

[RivennHewn]

Still waiting on the channel to cough up some logs

Where's my 12-pack ?

 

[PugetDude]

Missing, just like the logs.
Same suspect.
