Afternoon all.

I’m back “out west” again. Got home a couple of hours ago, and Mrs TK already put me to work installing a doggy door she bought ::)

The rest of today’s projects consist of laundry and R&R. If I can figure it out, I may also build a work bench over the next couple of days.

 Morning all.

55 and sunny, heading for 72. Looks like the rain is giving us a break for the time being.

Spent most of yesterday building myself a work bench out in the garage. Someone more skilled than I would have probably finished in 2-3 hours, but it took me 7 ::) now if I could just figure out how to post a picture on here from my phone, I would show y’all.

Todays plans include mounting some pegboard in the garage, attaching a bench vice to my work bench, and building a “stop stealing your neighbor’s hay” device at the barn to keep our horse from stealing his neighbor’s hay.

We are at 7200 feet on the eastern slope of Sandia foothills. The Sandia is due west and about 10,000 ft.
We have the Manzano Range to the south and the Sangre De Cristo to the north.

makes for an interesting growing season, but even down in Albuquerque ( ~ 5000 ft ) we have 4 seasons!

Afternoon all. Happy “how do I change the time in the microwave” day.

50 and cloudy today, with rain expected tonight.

Fed and scooped apples at the barn this morning, now getting ready for the weekly pilgrimage to Walmart. After that, have to stop at the Tractor Supply for some equestrian supplies, then laundry. I might also find some time to load some 44spl ammo, since I finally got a few hundred large pistol primers.

Last night I changed the wax ring on the upstairs toilet. Mrs TK noticed it leaking. Come to find out, at some point somebody had installed the old ring upside down and just filled the entire underside of the toilet with silicone caulk to solve the “not sealing right” problem, which had finally worn through: hence the leak. That took almost an hour to get straightened out. Thankfully there doesn’t seem to be any water damage to the subfloor.

I haven't been all that chipper the last few days,  :-\
Between my painful Knee bursitis, back pain and fatigue, and generally out of sorts and over all ickiness.
My git up and go, has got up and went, any plans for much of anything are on hold.
  My sinuses are reacting to the heavy pollen (Oak I think) everything has a dusting of yellowish haze.

I was going to go the Space Coast Bullets, and pick up a Lee #1 Press shell holder  (seem to have misplaced mine) among some other items.
I'll forgo the drive, due to my current frequent flyer miles on the porcelain throne.  ::)

Greetings My Friends

My Dad passed away in the early morning of Mar 15 at 97 years of age.

He fell in middle Feb, spent a week in hospital, almost 2 weeks
in rehab hospital then at our suggestion and his full agreement,
went back to his room for hospice care at his retirement center
( aka TLLCS - "The Landlocked Cruise Ship"). He died comfortabley in his
sleep.

He lived on his own terms and died on his own terms, with no regrets.

Fortunately, under the auspices of the hospice nurses, he was given as much
morphine as he needed for comfort.

He literally told my sister and I NOT to come out to be with him. He knew he
would be addled , in pain, and in a state he did not want to seen in.

Oh look, he made me end my sentence in a preposition!

He is the last "elder" in both my and SWMBO families. My Mom crossed
over ~ 2015, Mrs. Marvels' parents in 2010 & 2012, and her aunts and uncles
between 2005 and 2015.

Fortunately, my Dad saw it coming a couple years ago and diistributed his
“Stuff” that we might care about between my sister and myself on his last roadtrip.

I am now swamped with "all too familiar" paperwork, sorting, trustee
crap & etc. Fortunately my corporate training & experience in patents paperwork,
strict and tort liability paperwork, and various burocratic Govt paperwork nightmares
is serving me well in this regards.

As Always,
Your Humble Servant but somewhat poorly

 He a member of the greatest Generation.
 God Blessed him with long life and he led it well, good and faithful servant, may he Rest in Peace.

Graci John - most appropo

I suppose I ought to donn my personna and offer some “graveside humor” regarding calling
Mein Vater up via myprof marvel xtal ball and chewing him out for not sending the bank Mom’s death cert!
Lol.

But he had literally everything else covered nicely, so if thats all I have to complain about this
Time around is pretty darn easy. And thanks to the interwebs, and free long distance plans , it is easy to get
Professional interstate advice, then the forms, then hurry Up and wait lol.

My lovely spousal unit, SWMBO, had a grand dream last night that Dad wasn’t taking any of my long distance
Xtal ball calls Just now because Him and Mom are making up for lost time apart!


In other news, the epic blizard of March 2024 continues to dump precipitation on the Great Southwest,
From southern Az, thru NM, southern Co, Tejas, the Sooner State (oklahoma for the less educated) and points east.

East Mountans and the plains east of ABQ got another 8-12 in last night and it started up again an Hour ago!

I concur. Mom was the Lore Giver of the family and all its ancestry. Many a day that I wish I could talk to her again about family history.

Well hit 76 here this afternoon and just beautiful. Took the g'kids to the gun range today and had a great time. Nice to see I've finally got the Uberti 66 running again, man it is smooth. Kids liked it too.

52 and sunny.  Rita let the dog out yesterday, first time since Sept.  Back stairs are not the greatest. 

It means I can leave for a while if she don't want to go. 

She also had us run around and find stuff, she's back crocheting again. Much better than just watching TV.

Ordered a plush possum for my granddaughter. Long story for another day but her Grandmother just rolled her eyes (my Ex) at the game feed the other day.  A long story that stays alive and dates back to the summer 0f 1981, a tale worth telling and needs wrote down. ;D  Amazon is handy but don't use them much.  3 bigs roll things of the black yarn she uses came also, plus a spool of 6 lb braided.  Going to do some this year.  Probably at first go to the one city lake and fish of the fishing dock with the other old men and see how it goes. 

Going to use Dad's 5500C, I got it for him Christmas 1977.  He always wanted one but not for $50.   Offered it to brother or the kids, seems I am the only one smart enough to use one. ;D

Went to the club that runs our state SASS championship today for their "Pot luck, swap and sell Cabin fever" shoot, Didn't have any shooting because the day before they got 20 inches of the evil white stuff. This event usually brings in around 55-60 people, I think we may have had 25 and no one was buying much. I sold 1 brass bag for a dollar. But the food was great and I got to hang with friends that I haven't seen since last CAS season.

Slim, I hope you feel better.
There's a virus going around called RSV  https://www.cdc.gov/rsv/index.html  It's prevalent in children and older people over 60. I'm just about over it. My wife has been hacking away for over three weeks now. I understand that you can get a shot for this this.

On another note, I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. Just spent my 8th night hooked up to a CPAP machine.

Pork Chops on the grill  from the Amish Market again. INLATION has hit home! My favorite wine from Aldi's has gone up to $3.95 per bottle ($.79 per glass). Used to be $2.95 per bottle ($.59 per glass).  I might have to go back to work. I really shouldn't complain, wine is $7.00 to $8.00 per glass in our local restaurants.

On another note, the local Amish Market has the best meat, seafood and produce departments we've ever been to.

I spend some time today cutting back a deco Palm that was getting a bit unruly.
I have little Ryobi 18v hand pruning chain saw that made short work of the project.

She Who Must Be Obeyed is traveling to J'ville for an Easter visit with her sister and her kids and
 the grandniece & nephew. Our Daughter and B-friend are also heading up.
It should be a fine time for them all.
I was not invited; truth is I had to stay with our furry friends anyway.

Two dogs, two cats and the horse enjoy their groceries on regular basis, not to mention the landmines the little Shitsu would leave in retaliation.
