Sounded like it might be fun until she brought up Jack's name. That spoiled it all.

I have nothing to add on this current trend... Tomorrow is my extraction day.

Good evening everyone. Nice and warm here today 105 so i have been in the shade since two this afternoon. The girls are all bearding on ten of twelve hives even they can't cool off on a day like this. Tomorrow forecast to be 108.

Perry · « **Reply #324 on:** August 16, 2015, 08:29:34 pm »

105?
108?
That just ain't right! Don't know how you folks deal with it.

Perry,I'll keep the 105 and 108 degree, if you keep that up to the house eve's white crap up there. Jack

Yikes, 108 is too hot for me...
I am currently on vacation, we Drove to Maine... and as we are headed up here toward Blue Hill Maine, I start seeing a LOT of signs, and I have to say, I think PERRY is holding out on us... he does have bee hives, but I also see, Perrys Furniture, Perrys Lobster Shack, Perrys dine in or drive through, Perrys Fresh Pack Blueberry stand, Perry's Seafood.... there were a couple more as well... I pulled over so My wife could get my picture by the Perry's Furniture sign, but I got yelled at and had to keep going.....

Why am i not surprised that Perry's name is around where all the food places are.

Well, I am well fed, no sense arguing about that.

Still around 195 lbs though. Winter usually sees me up around 205-210, but all the hard work I do come spring sees me shed the weight.
As for furniture, you wouldn't feel safe or comfortable in anything I built, I'm surprised the bees put up with it.

good evening everyone~

it's fall and fall colors have been showing up here in the north..........it's that time of year we have been and are readying our bees for the big W..........

my bees are in great shape (no feeding) except for one hive, out of 4 nucs this was the slow one, but the queen is a good queen. around mid october i will add shims and place some patties in just for extra insurance through early W months, and keep checking thereafter. they should be good. can't budge these hives, a good flow for us this year. no mites, pests, or disease, and the bees really aggressively go after invaders.......carpenter bees, yellow jackets, moths, etc..

am ambling long after hip surgery, lot of challenges, and slower recovery than i would like, but the good thing is my weight scale is finally telling the truth.......

what is everyone else up to?

LazyBkpr · « **Reply #330 on:** October 05, 2015, 09:36:53 am »

You have a weight scale that tells the truth? I'd like to know the make and model number, since i have never found one that was even CLOSE to accurate!!!!

I finally BROKE the 190 barrier and am at 189.6 and still working at losing weight.
Today i start cutting wood for the winter, so that will help a LOT, been in the field the last couple weeks, crops are coming in swiftly! Bees are doing quite well, but I had three hives this year decide to abscond and leave behind the queen and just a handful of bees.. Quite odd since they were all splits this year and most had newer comb.
On a different note.. My wife has accepted a job in Maine, and will be leaving in a couple weeks, so i will only have you guys to whine and complain to as winter sets in.. She has plans to be gone for at least 5 years, the additional money will be sent back to pay of the principle on the house, so with luck, the bee thing will go well, the grapes will grow well, and i will have an income enough so she can retire when that time is up and return home. Wish us luck!

dang scott you make me laugh! i thought us girlies were more conscious about the fat cells than you guys were......

i read your post and i think i must have read it over a number of times.............wife has accepted a job in maine? to be gone 5 years?

wow.........i wish you and your wife well scott, and wish all the best for both of you and future plans!

and ps, whine and complain all you desire, we will be here to 'listen', read and enjoy your posts!

Perry · « **Reply #332 on:** October 06, 2015, 06:55:12 am »

I've been watching my weight lately too. In order to make it easier I've gained weight so that it is out there and easier to watch!

194 lbs. and holding.

lazy shooter · « **Reply #333 on:** October 06, 2015, 07:58:27 am »

Six foot two inches tall and 230 pounds of fat man. I am a large frame guy, and my cardiologist would like for me to weigh 220 pounds or less. Less would be better. I topped out at 265 pounds about 10 years ago, since then I have dwindled back to the current weight. I have reached the slow metabolism age and I can't work as much as in years past, so it is just a mathematical thing where the calorie intake has to be lessened. Dang that's hard for me to do.

Perry and Scott seem to be in pretty good physical shape. The emphasis being on the word physical.

Scott, how ofter will you and your bride get to visit? Retirement is a word that I don't know. I call it the "R" word. I would have retired years ago, but I enjoy my work so much that I miss it when not on a job for a bit. My work does not require much from a physical point of view.

My family is well versed on working away from home. From 1993 until 2012 I spent about one-half of my time away from home. Since then it has been about 100 days a year. In some ways it puts a strain on one's marriage, but my bride was independent enough to take care of her and our home when I was away, and like you we needed the money to pay off the ranch and have the ability to retire.

Scott I do wish you well, and Perry I just want you to keep on being Perry.

Lazy

Hey perry, was that weight with one leg on the scale or both?

Scott, i wish you well, but 5 years without someone to boss around? that would be hard for a King.

Scot, isn't there any work closer than Maine? Five years is a long time.

Now he has a reason to take his hives with him when he goes to visit the missus. Blueberry pollination.

LazyBkpr · « **Reply #337 on:** October 07, 2015, 05:57:29 am »

Yep, she will be coming home for the holidays, vacations etc, and I will be going out there each spring with bees, and probably mid summer sometime when the bees are settled in from spring fever for my own vacation.
It isnt going to be easy, but when that time is up I look forward to having her full time.

riverbee · « **Reply #338 on:** October 23, 2015, 05:22:15 pm »

a late good afternoon all!

i just had to say this, i went out to the mister's garage this morning (the freezer is in there) to get something out for dinner, and low and behold what did i find laying on the garage floor?

.............THE DANG SNOW ROOF RAKE...............

seriously, i wanted to call him up and ask him what he planned on raking with it or had he heard a different weather forecast than i did for the next couple weeks..............

He is just trying to get you psyched up for winter.
