We were towing our travel trailer to Las Vegas where we planned on staying for a few days so we could make a mad dash to Montclair for a visit to the Lazy Daze factory. We pulled into a RV park, saw your LD and Iit was like a "sign from above" that a Lazy Daze was in our future. So were we the first to tour that big red machine?Steve K Indeed you were, Steve. I think we chatted for a couple of hours that night. And we've continued that conversation for 18 years.Chris
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #977 – May 08, 2020, 12:56:39 am Maybe we should split this off to "Down memory Lane" thread. . .I remember the bumper sticker "ICH HAB TIGER IM TANK" when I was taking German in HS.Along with the Green Stamps we got a Standard Oil map of the US with little pictures of places to see. Meteor Cave and Castillo de San Marcos fired a 7 yo's desire to see them. Finally did a little before we got the LD.Joel

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #981 – May 09, 2020, 03:42:42 pm DW and I planted lots of Milkweed last year and this Spring the Monarch Butterflies arrived and laid eggs. About 13 caterpillars hatched and grew-up from the eggs, feasting on the Milkweed. About eight of those caterpillars pupated and four new Monarch butterflies hatched from the pupae. All of this during the time of the Stay at Home. Further evidence that life carries on around us... 12 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #990 – May 11, 2020, 01:15:22 pm Quote from: Sawyer - May 10, 2020, 08:02:56 pmAnd all together Congratulations on such success & thx for the memories! My very carnivorous farmer father would only tolerate two meals without meat: Sunday night popcorn & milk (having had a big after-church Sunday dinner allowed for a lighter evening repast while watching Efrem Zimbalist Jr. in The FBI,Ed Sullivan, etc.--the only time we were allowed to have a "meal" in front of the TV), & morels (dredged in egg & flour only...no cracker crumbs). I also remember the sinkful of ants as Mother soaked them in saltwater to prep for the immediate feast...no holding them over for dinner the next night.20-20 hindsight...wish I'd had the sense to have him teach me how to hunt mushrooms. Knowing they prefer timber areas that are also frequented by various reptiles whose acquaintance I'm loathe to make has deterred my self-education. Lynne 2 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #992 – May 11, 2020, 01:55:12 pm Quote from: StevenJill - May 03, 2020, 02:57:28 pmPapers goods are hit or miss here too. We had a good supply already, but after a month of this I did pick up a pack of TP and a roll of paper towels. Maybe I could buy tons of TP when this is over and use it to insulate a shed? Then I would have plenty if something happens. When my dad died someone brought a stash of paper products to Mother's house. While casseroles/cakes/meat & cheese trays are lovely & appreciated, not having to dash out for those non-perishables was helpful beyond expectation, so that has become my go-to condolence item; therefore, whenever paper goods were on sale I'd add to the stash on hand, which means I've rolled past those empty shelves in our little burg's main grocery. We have had 2 +COVID cases in the county/no deaths, & funeral notices of other deaths on the local radio station seem fewer. 'Twill be another interesting piece of history for the future to digest. No funerals = no condolence items, so my stash is likely good 'til fall.Lynne 5 Likes

Looks as if you have a nice collection. Retirement savings or are you just going to eat them???We just eat them. Freeze some dry some and we have morels all year. Then later in summer the huckleberry crop comes in and we freeze some of those but mostly my wife makes jam with them. Last year the turkeys got to the hucks before we did so in the spirit of fairness I put a few of them in the freezer. It all evens out. Oh and don't get me started on the yearly battle with bears over our fruit trees. We all watch the fruit ripen and it's a battle of wills as to who will pick the fruit first. Neither bears or humans like green fruit and at some point we are saying should we pick today or wait one more night and risk those stupid bears eating everything. Conversely I imagine the bears having the same conversation. Should we eat everything tonight or wait one more day and risk those stupid humans picking everything. 3 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #994 – May 11, 2020, 06:03:32 pm Last year we took a short Lazy Daze trip and when we returned, the raccoons had stripped EVERY SINGLE ear of sweet corn off all of the stalks. They leave the cob attached to the stalk, the husk is pulled back, and the kernels are all eaten.Last week I cleaned up all of the downed and over ripe citrus and piled them all up out behind our back fence. Inside a week the crows and coyotes ate every single piece. I'm glad we don't have bears.Harold 4 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #995 – May 11, 2020, 06:33:52 pm I have a nice Fuji apple tree down in my garden that makes fruit every year. The squirrels harvest well before I want to, so I've given up on it. I let them have whatever comes. We have plenty of raccoons around, but they haven't ever bothered my sweet corn. I grow cantaloupes every year (vertically), so have a complicated contraption I build every year for them to grow on and rest until they're ready. Last year, I lost several to the raccoons, even though (I thought) I had bird netting over the entire thing. I can smell the melons when they're ready, even when I can't see them sometimes. So can the raccoons. They're clever little devils!! Bill 5 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #997 – May 11, 2020, 07:37:27 pm We really don’t have many coons here and in fact I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one. Fine with me though, in our last place they got into everything and raided the garden nightly
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #998 – May 11, 2020, 10:00:59 pm Steering critters away from fruits and vegetables seems difficult to do. On a large scale enterprise it would almost seem impossible. On a smaller scale, like backyard gardens, I wonder if something a bit more aggressive would be in order. In this episode of “Living Off Grid”, they take garden protection to the next level by installing electrified deterrents. Is this an unacceptable means to protect the corn and fruit bearing trees? https://youtu.be/3zG7zyYVH3YWhat do I know? My biggest worry now is weeding the lawn and keeping mice at bay. Now where did that darned cat get off to?Just wondering...is this a better mouse trap?Kent 2 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #999 – May 12, 2020, 12:39:08 am Kent,A few years ago, I connected my galvanized trash can to an electric fence transformer and put the can up on plastic feet. It did a respectable job of deterring raccoons and coyotes, but on several ocassion s zapped both Cyndy and me, usually at night and in bare feet.I finally unhooked it to prevent the neighbors kids from hearing my loud expletives late at night.Harold 3 Likes
