They have the best prices on produce, both everyday and sale prices. :-bd They also put out 1-2 carts of blem produce in grab bags. The bags are clear so you can see most of the ...

Went out onto the patio this morning to find that the rat had gnawed through two corners of the tub's lid but only through the overlap, not directly into the tub like the other corner which is now covered by a weighted bucket.

Enjoy!
Wish him a safe return flight and tell him he is missed here (at least by me).

Rats! A rat has apparently taken up residence in the shrubs near my back patio. ~X( My daughter's small dogs chase it, especially at night when it is active, barking their heads off but not a deterrence to the rat. Result of that is having to chase them back in the house so the neighbors aren't pis...

Did the incident ho yo their record as such? Not really sure. NTSB 830 says fractures of fingers, toes, nose not an accident. Also not sure if there is anything in FAR Part 141 which covers flight schools. Only other issue besides the injury and healing time was missing her original CFII checkride ...
