Hey guys , sorry to interrupt fifty’s food channel , although seeing all that food look’s inviting and makes me real hungry, I thought I’d share our weather forecast, Rain , sunshine Rain Sunshine, currently 67 degrees with a chance of more rain and sunshine, fyi even though I like good politics not so much in way of bad politics like we all experienced the last 4 years , I’d rather see a donkey show in Mexico , than sit through another four , back to FTE rules in politics, I don’t think we’re supposed to talk about the **** show , carry on my fte freinds

Snow? In August? Oh wait, you did say Christmas time.
Okay in order to keep the FTE admins happy, I will request no more political talk on this all-topic thread.

Apologies. All my fault. I started it with Kid Rock at The Elephant Show. Then followed it with Megan Thee Stallion at The Donkey Rally. It all went downhill after Lil' Jon, when the Hulkamaniac suggested body slamming Mr. Emhoff's wife.


I'm just a boy from Chinatown gawking at a 3 ring circus. Not my circus. Not my monkeys. I only know some of the clowns.

4 scores and 7 years ago...... Okay, maybe 1 score and a few months ago...... I had the privilege of working with a music label. I had stage wardrobe. A set of extremely cheap, loud clothes . Any time I was with the bands, I dressed to blend in. Everything came from the label's wardrobe department.


This suitcase has been in my garage for decades. In the event that Prince comes back from the dead, calls me, and says that he needs to borrow a velvet suit and a shiny blouse. Maybe television will resurrect the Nash Bridges show, and they need me to play Dominguez. Or Morris Day breaks his hip, and The Time needs a Chinese guy to be the stunt dancer.



I don't like to be wasteful. I should donate the stuff to Vice, in case someone needs to go undercover as a pimp.


I did wear the shoes today. These dancing shoes were actually modified to have high traction soles in case I needed to jump into action. I like boots instead of shoes. Any boot that came with leather soles, I modify with high traction soles. Even my cowboy boots have high traction soles instead of leather. The Girl's house of worship had an event. Which is why I cooked a bunch of meat. Beef stew to feed the volunteers. She was not pleased. A 4 letter word was uttered - by The Minister.

Love it! The people across the street run a donkey rescue. I crack up every time I hear them yelling for their dinner. It reminds me of this scene from Star Wars:

There's never enough beef stew. Right now, I am thinking that I should have saved some for myself. Oh well. I guess I will need to make more the next time. 8 lbs of meat just didn't go as far as I thought it would.

Goooood morning FTE , well we are officially out of level 3 fire , still can’t have campfire or take a stroll through the forest on a dirt bike but with what rain we did get the hills are thanking Mother Nature and are slightly turning green again , our rivers never stop running they get low and slow but that means easier fishing, we had a nice size bear come through looking for it’s honey pot , it’s a good thing we didn’t have a honey pot or anything thing else that bears like to nibble on , the deer stayed silent prolly a smart move , hope all is well and enjoy the last day of your weekend, unless your retired then every day is your weekend

The cycle of nature continues. Fire. Ash. Carbon. Rain. The soil is replenished. I wish I could slash and burn. Just did some tree trimming in the yard. I do a little bit at a time. I don't want to make it a career. I do just enough to feel hot and tired. Then eat some of the fruit from the trees. My own version of replenishment. The cycle of nature. Then I pee on the soil. My uncle thinks that I should get rid of everything growing, pave the little yard, and be done with it. We have extremely small yards in San Francisco. Not enough space to do anything outside of ornamental growing. Not even big enough for cannabis production. I have just enough growth to stare at immature fruit, then hopefully harvest every 2 weeks during the season. A small harvest. As in it's all eaten that day. Today, I got 2 figs, and a half dozen loquat. Plum and apricot are gone. 1 peach waiting to develop. A bunch of pepino which are months away from harvest. A couple of pumpkin vines only sending male flowers. And green onion which is good every 3 weeks.
