 I got four of the apple trees into the ground yesterday, four more to go tomorrow.

Also need to ... 
 @394b5c0e We have used a blood based repellent, keeps the rabbits and porcupines away, deer are not fond of it either.

Hoof rats. 
 @669563d8 @ec56c728 in Canada, there are limits in how much coin you can pay with, section 8.2 of the Currency Act:
- $40 in toonies ($2 coins)
- $25 in loonies ($1 coins)
- $10 in dimes, quarters, or half dollars 
- $5 in nickels
- $0.25 in pennies (even though we don’t make them anymore)

No rule about the coins not being in a “secure” state, like a jar of honey or maple syrup. 
 So Albertsons and Fred Meyer for bought by Safeway?? Friggin frick! Hate Safeway. 
 @eaa154b7 @5c4325ee I loved shopping at Albertsons and Fred Meyer when I worked in the US 
 @f47c4255 I don’t blame him, he had two really bad choices when he was 15/16 years old:

1. Be starved to death by the Soviets
2. Join the Nazis, and fight the Soviets

He lived but ended up on the wrong side of history.

I still fully place the blame on the Privy Council’s office which is the Prime Minister’s responsibility. 
 @669563d8 @4f50b305 What does “Russian Disinformation” have to do with your staff not knowing that the Russians were part of the Allied group of countries fighting against the Nazi’s?

So to “fight in Ukraine against the Russians in WWII” that would make someone an actual Nazi.

Woke idiots. 
 If auto driving cars are so great then why are cruise controls dangerous in slippery weather?
Cla... 
 @4f50b305 @ac377c46 @4206c9f7 modern cruise control in cars know when the tyres slip and turn off, the cruise control of the last century just kept a constant speed based on the speedometer.

I don’t know about big rigs, but I would bet the newer ones are the same, problem there is the trailer, if it “breaks loose”, you’re going for a ride.

People fail to understand that no matter what, all you have is the very bottom of your tyre touching the ground, that’s it. 
 @91f99226 @b91dc268 Reminds me of a guy I used to work with: "My girls asked me, do these pants make my ass look big, I said, it's not the pants honey" 
 Bet on oil
They wouldn't keep building a pipeline through the mountains where I live for over 3.5... 
 @4f50b305 well it is the “Trans” Mountain Pipeline, it identifies as environmentally friendly
