WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Matt]

@Giles Why are you doing this with pruning shears?

[goosehd]

@endo Extremely envious and outstanding picture!!!!  @Matt I would love to see the nest, if you get a chance.  I have never seen one in person (but have through the Internet).

@Giles Looks good…are you for hire??

@Matt:

@Giles Why are you doing this with pruning shears?

Because that's all I've got.  And anyway, a hedge trimmer or chainsaw makes the hedge look like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre…......I did have to resort to a saw for the branches over 1/2 inch.....

I'll do anything for the right compensation

Here’s the one in our front yard from last year…

I walked out just now and she hummed off.  Left these behind../

[Matt]

We saw them once or twice in Baltimore.  Saw one oriole in 40 years.  Never saw a Raven.  In ABQ I see humming birds and Ravens every day.

And this sexy bitch…

@Matt Thank you!  Those are fantastic.

@Giles My neighbour trims his bushes with a electric hedge trimmer and they always look like shite…He gets mad because mine look better (I use Felco hand pruner’s also).  In the past I suggested he try doing them by hand and it was not well received…c'est la vie 

[Matt]

Giles:  I have two boats, a closet full of the finest clothes, $750,000 worth of fishing tackle (give or take) and sunglasses that cost about as much as a trip to the actual sun.

Paula:  Giles can you trim the hedges?

G:  Hold on, let me get some dull scissors.

I think of it as penance…..

@IH-GARY:

@mclaincausey one thing I wonder every time I see a Red Rocks photo - how does the seating work? Is it just a case of stand where you want or does the ticket allocate you a row or zone?

A Billy, Tyler or Sturgill gig at RR will be forever bucket list material for me!

Just numbered seats like anything else, but the seats are really wide (best described as risers) so that you can dance. At some shows a bunch of nerds will sit down and ask or demand that everyone else do too (Tyler Childers had that—a lot of his fans here domestically are not the best).

I’ve never seen it as crowded as it was this run. Managed to get great seats each night through luck and work.

We were nice and close dead center last time we saw Sturgill here.
