Feeling fair to partly cloudy. Almost took a finger off at the first knuckle last week, trying to get all the yard work done before we left for a three day vacation in Alpine Helen, GA. LOL Electric hedge clippers do not discriminate about what they cut through. Spent all weekend in a 1 BR log cabin with king bed in the loft, a hot tub, and a trout stream running under the deck. I bought my own fly fishing rig and tackle and learned how to use it just for this trip. I feel like an overstuffed bratwurst, 'cuz boy howdy, did we ever avail ourselves of the cuisine. Hofbrauhaus, Old Bavaria Inn, Hofer's, you name it, we had it. Met a nice older German frau who was very interested in my family heritage, given that our origins are around Stuttgart and Ulm. The wife and I went to a local mine and did some gem grubbin' through some raw ore - here's a link to a pic of the results, if it'll let you pull it up:
