Beautiful woodpecker!

Can't disagree with you on that. They are the largest woodpecker in North America, about the size of a crow I'd say. They are the ones that sometimes sound like a jackhammer/impact drill when pecking.

Our neighbour had one who liked hammering on his metal chimney cap. Better than an alarm clock.

Well, I agreed they were a beautiful bird, maybe they are not very bright either.

Why is the pot on fire?

I use that pan like a little habachi. There is an air hole in the bottom and a charcoal grate in it. The twigs burn down to hot coals in less time than starting charcoal.

Years ago my dad was working nights during pea harvest for Green Giant and a woodpecker decided to hammer on something metal on his roof and right above his bedroom. After two days of the hammering, the 12 gauge got set by the front door and on the third day when the hammering woke dad up he got out of bed got the gun walked out of the house and from the front yard blasted the bird.

This was happening while all dad had on was his whitey tightes--- He did live 2 miles outside of town but I guess more than one rig drove by while he was outside

The first thing I thought of is Charlie is making charcoal, but there is no cover............

When I was younger they were a relatively rare sight sort of like the Bald Eagle. Now they are more common sight [Again like the Bald Eagle.] but non the less enjoyable!

I know this is supposed to be a wordless picture but I couldn't help myself.

Apparently this car was released to the U.S. public 112 years ago today.



If the wording below the picture is too hard to read, here's what it says:

'T'-riffic Launch: Folks with a sense of adventure and $850 were in for a treat on Oct. 1, 1908.

That's when the Ford Model T was introduced to the public-the first car that was affordable for the ordinary citizen in the U.S.. The "Tin Lizzie" sat two, and by the time it was discontinued in 1927, nearly 15,000,000 had been sold.

It was good value for money, as this Aug. 4, 1944, photo attests. That's Mrs. Mildred C. Reniff of of Ashfield waving good-bye as she starts up her vintage 1914 Model T. Ford. Mrs. Reniff was taking the advice of federal agencies to make cars last as long as possible and had it gotten it in tip-top shape. An extra touch of Yankee ingenuity: A tank on the running board mixes carbide and water to form gas for headlights.
