no noise

The older I get, the more I think about my ultimate destiny.  It isn't about what I have done - but how I have done it.  The best thing my parents taught me was to acknowledge personal responsibility.  When I moved to NYC at 22 - I thought I had the world on my plate, but was always aware of the fact that all my actions had consequences.  I'm not proud of some of the things I have done, but thankful that I have found my way through it all and feel  blessed to be where I am today.  Where the noise goes away - like when television wasn't a 24 hour onslaught on the senses.

Colossians 3: 1. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3. For ye are dead , and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear , then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6. For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7. In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9. Lie not one to another , seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10. And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

junk...

Had a pleasant burro visit late yesterday afternoon.  They were very well behaved, even when I put out feed for them.

Headed south to the flea market at H2OtoGO this morning.  Bought a set of flatware for 25 bucks.  Was hoping it was sterling but found out otherwise when I got home with the non-booty.  It is all marked 1847 Rogers Bros. I S  Flair.  A quick search online when I got home told me it is just silver plated. ( The Flair pattern is made of silver plate. As such, its value is not great. The pattern was introduced in 1956 by International Silver ("IS") which now owns the Rogers brand. The "1847" refers to the founding date of Rogers Bros.)   The good news is, small groupings and sets are listed on Ebay for much more than I paid - and I have something substantial (in a nice wooden box) to replace the plastic flatware I've been using and throwing away.  Not the mother load I was hoping for but still a pretty good deal.

A large storm rolled through this afternoon but only got a trickle out of it at TFL including 20 seconds of pea sized hail.  At least it rendered a decent sunset.  65,87,55, .08:,B,0

Had to catch up with visitors I had a couple of days ago that brought me a blueberry and raspberry bush.  Forgot to get a picture when they were here.  I hope that Roger, Nina, Rose and Greg will came back again next time they are in the area.  New friends Shera and David were out today from Manhattan, Montana (of all places)  for a couple of hours to shoot a blurb on TFL for

Transplanted 4 more corn starts...the first ones are growing fast.  Topped off the day seasoning my small crucible with borax.  Two tablespoons of powder and heat from a propane torch and it has a glass finish now to keep precious metals from sticking to it.  67,75,39,0,B,0

Got my remaining printed blog posts today...now I don't have to worry about losing the record of 1590 days of my life at TFL.  Gusty all day so spent too much time sitting down at the computer planning the next offering from The Field Lab Mercantile.  Gotta figure out how to keep my boys fed with something that has added exchange value.  79,97,69,0,W,0

corn

Decided to see how far I can really go with that new wifi antenna on my netbook.  Still 2 bars at nearly a mile line of site.  













My corn starts took off pretty quick ( 5 days ) with quite a root.  Moved 4 into a deep tub to see how they will like greenhouse life.  I got these non GMO Purple Goliath seeds from my friend Jim Snyder in Michigan.  82,93,54,0,B,0
