It was in the Devil’s Garden Picnic grounds. Nobody got hurt but once the dad offered food to one, then 5-6 more Ravens showed. They were little kids and man they were screaming. We saw ravens in every park that trip. We joked the one from the Grand Canyon was following us. That was in the...

Correction: the raven in my profile is from the Grand Canyon. The one I posted here yesterday is from the same trip, but that one was at Arches. We were at picnic ground and a family at a nearby table decided it was a good idea to feed the raven. Their kids are probably still in therapy 10 years...

Facebook memories from 2016. The day I posted the picture I use here on the forum of the Raven taken at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The other pic is not our 560 Ultra. This is at Bryce NP & it was the day we arrived there. These folks weren’t there all day & they came just before...

Got class done, had crops country practice first thing this morning. Tomorrow, we head up to Mooresville, NC to see our daughter this weekend.

Nice here today too. 70s and not humid. Can’t get outside to take advantage of it. Having to take a class and have my work turned in by Friday. 2 essays to go and I’m done. Last one I’ll ever take because I’m retiring after next year and my certificate will be good for 5 years.

We put a lot of thought into ours - I’m Warren & she’s Mary Ellen.

At one point we were getting a Buc-ees at one of the exits of of I-85 in the S.C. county l live in. Exit 21, but it eventually fell apart because they couldn’t get the funds to upgrade the exit on/off ramps plus the overpass. Lake Hartwell is only half mile south of the exit and they’ll need to...

Extra paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates, backpacks. Not a lot of any of it since it’s not real accessible. Spare set of wheel bearings just in case we have a problem.

It is. It’s like living in a Southern Gothic novel.

Been to Falls Creek before. Mary Ellen’s parents lived in Crossville for 20 years so we were up there several times a year. We were at Cumberland Mountain State Park more since it was closer to them. The spillway there is an artificial waterfall. That part of Tennessee is beautiful.

Back around ‘82 or ‘83, Anderson County where I live was deemed the Murder Capital of the US. Textile mills were closing left and right, unemployment was around 15% in the area. Upstate SC still has a pretty high crime rate. This one involved an argument of money, drugs & an argument about the...

We had a murder a little over a block from the house this week. How are things in your neck of the woods?

It was so cool here this morning we needed a jacket for our walk this morning. Never had a jacket on in S.C. in June unless it was raining. I know million degree days aren’t far away, but this was nice.

Not sure what tripped our outlet. Never done that before and it’s been there for 8-9 years.

Got our new battery installed this morning. Got the old one out & the replacement in without mashing any fingers. Got this one from Batterysharks. Worked with Cary/Craig to make sure we got what we need. First time I’ve had a battery shipped to the house. For some reason the gfi outlet had...
