Perfect. It'll cover everything, head and hair included, and then some.
Trouble is, I won't be able to see out, but that's OK. I'll just fling my acorns without direction. Straight up.
Thanks Lee Anne. Problem solved.
Whew!
I've been so worried.

Does everyone have baskets or buckets ready to catch all the flying acorns this evening?

CJ & Lee Anne: Y'all may be away from your home and your computer tonight but ya never know ... a couple of acorns may accidentally fall down your chimney during the "Great Acorn Fight". Listen for the crunch when you walk through your door! Big Grin

Uh oh Sharon, you better look out now! Now that you have Lee Ann's full body armour --- you see I managed to scrounge up one of those machines that pitches baseballs & lugged it home. I'm going to fill it up with acorns & let 'er rip! That ought to send them flying all the way up there to Canada! Hurray!

Hey Vic!!!!
You got an extra slingshot?? I'm going to be throwing a few for Hetty tonight too.

What with all Ann's acorns flying over my head toward the north, I need a few extra arms. Slingshots would help, though.

UNfair advantage Ginger! FOOOUUUUL! Nah, just kidding Smiling Well, since I got the acorn launcher I guess it's okay for me to use my arm to lift the BBQ baby backs to my mouth before the big game. Big Grin
Oh Sharon...... don't think you're in the clear from me.... I'm gunnin' for you gal.... fixed up a thingy on it so I can tilt it & get just the proper trojectory on it. Heh, heh, heh......

Oh wait. I'm tryin' to remember exactly where Lake City is.
I've been there, but then I've been all over Florida. Seems to me that I'll have to aim south and then tilt a little to the east, yeah, I believe I can do that.
Downhill, of course.
Double sling shot, yeah. I can do that.

Not sure how good I'm going to be throwing west, though. The wind always comes from the west, southwest, I'm afraid they might blow right back in my face.

Don't y'all worry a bit. I don't have many acorns, but I do have a good strong aim.

That's okay Sharon if the ones you hit westward fall short & land in Texas. Those poor starving critters there will be happy to eat them I'm sure. Let's all make some fall on Texas.

I'll be back after dinner, clean up & walking the dog.....

Dave said that on Monday he will run a report of who throws the most & is the winner of the microbadge.




Lin, the wind is going to be from the NW all night last I saw but not strong at all.


Dinner is ready - later......
