Sounds like fun. Too far east for me. Try to schedule some events a lite bit closer to the hundredth meridian next year.

Gave up on the one in NP, they don't want to seem to talk to us, gonna go feed the troops in Oct instead. Looks like I'll feed the Damned Yankees and Un-repented Rebs both. ;D

Mornin' Y'all.
Coffee has been gulped, and I'm mostly awake now. Not quite ready for August, though. Means school will be starting. :-\.

Did some mowing today myself,lR. We got the eastern entrance done, the small well field lot, and the areas around the barn. No hornets today, thank goodness. The spot on my temple is still a little swelled yet. At least it's not sore to the touch ::)
Football Hall of Fame stuff this weekend, gonna stay as far away fron it as I can, luckily it's my weekend on duty so that'll help keep me away from it. Gettin' to be like Arcey, is it September yet? ::) :P
-
Hey, I like Hornets, everyone should own at least one of them, fairly quiet, good to around 175-200 yards and it just sips powder at 10-12 grains a pop. ;D

Nice looking firearm Del.
I hope them other kind of hornets leave you alone Buck.
Rain is starting to move in, it is supposed to be here for the weekend then they are calling for another possible hurricane to move offshore of here around Tuesday.
-
LIT...they say it will be non-event for us in Florida :-\ that's the one's I don't trust !
Nice Rifle Del.... 222 Hornet ? I've never shot it , how does to compare to .223 in felt recoil ...NADA ?
-
Buck i was attacked and stung on the back of my head a couple weeks ago. While feeding a old barn cat, that was orphaned by it's late keeper. They sed offenders domicle was located and destroyed enemy loses were high no wonded were recovered. It had been 2 weeks and nothing has returned. The spray remains handy in its place with my personal protection in jeep.
Tippy guards the old house and barn and my stockpile of bamboo. The dogs check on her daily.
-
Wunner what kinda exaggerated predictions ole Don '60 mph' Slater'll come up with for Bertha.............
Ole Pungo days I hadda Handi Rifle in .223 Remington I used as a plinker. The thing was a hoot. N'er did get around to workin' up a cast load for it. Cheap(er) jacketed stuff weren't expensive 'n made for a lot of fun. She'd shoot an inch at a hundred yards almost by herself. Bet the Hornet's a blast.
-
Yeah, the miscreants are either dead or gone now. Four big cans of wasp/hornet spray did'em in. The nest was more like a ranch home than an apartment building, inside the gutter wasn't real noticable. We'll give it a few more days, then scoop it outa there. It'll block up the gutter otherwise. Boss mowed the sewer plant yard this morning and wasn't bothered. One of the down sides to living in the country, I guess ::)
Boy, Slim's slipping. Thje July thread hasn't been locked yet. ::) :o
We keep cans of spray in the truck as well,lR. Have to use them when repairing lamp posts and signs usually ::)
-
Hornet is a blast, 45 gr at 2650 fps is what the factory stuff does. I load a full case (12 gr) AA 1680 for 2500 fps and it gives a lot lower pressure than standard which uses 2400, 110 or similar powders. The action is a iron Low=Wall with a rechambered Springfield 22 barrel dovetail on the barrel, pre War 1" Weavers and an Early K-12 from El Paso.
Gonna try Litl Gun next time when I can find it, better velocity and very low pressure, need to see if anyone has an 45 gr 0.223's, I need them because like a lot of early Hornets it was made with a rimfire barrel.
Need to find the time and get back to cast, net info says Litl gun with give me enough velocity to make my 52 gr cast spin fast enough, also have the 1-16 twist, factory ones use 1-14 or 1-12. It will do almost 1 moa, not quite but good enough for anything with in 200 yards.
-
Never boring Buck...
Got my stockpile started need to get some chicken wire now.

Some of these are 40' long to start with.

Buck watch the propane tank lids too
-
Roo, that bamboo pile reminds me....
When visiting in my wife's hometown in Philippines, of course they use bamboo for just about everything there. Among opther things, they sometimes use seasoned pieces for firewood, since they mostly cook over wood fires. So they had this pile of long pieces, I thought I'd be helpful and chop some wood. So I draw back with the Bolo and take a whack.
That stuff's about like chopping a spring! Good thing I had a good grip on the bolo, or it would have bounced out of my hand.
Locals probably thought it funny.
So that was this Missouri boy's first experience with bamboo. After that I learned how to better chop it, as in be sure to hit by the joints, not in the middle! Or just go find a saw.....
-
I'm using a machette to limb it and a hand saw to cut it. You are right about it springing. They do use it for everthing. Inckuding making charcoal to cook with over there. I had been thru Clark there a couple 4 times.
-
Only propane tanks around here are the ones on gas grills,lR. Do have a diesel tank down at the sewer plant that we store fuel for the Kubota and the back up generator. This is mostly an all electric park, except for the newest section where you have the option for natural gas and city water ::)
-
Good e-v-e-n-ing! Happy August to you all.
We're still chuggin', hunkered down to endure the hot as much as possible; had some days in the nineties, but mostly 103 to 115 (in places around the valley), and anywhere from "poppin" dry, to 50%+ humidity. Fortunately, there is usually at least a breeze, if not a true wind; some thunder bumpin' and scattered showers in our part of the region, others are getting some pretty heavy rain.
I have not had much of a problem with wasps here in Las Vegas, just a few odd nests under the eaves once or twice over at the other place. We had them in spades up in the mountains, though, along with ground hornets or yellowjackets, or sometimes called "meat bees". I used spray can carburetor cleaner or electronics cleaner on them most of the time because it was usually cheaper than wasp and hornet spray, and just as deadly, if not more so.
Nice little rifle, Del; that .22 Hornet is a pleasant little round to play with. Major2, the .22 Hornet is a milder round than the .223/5.56mm. I have a .222 Remington, and a .223 Remington; they are almost identical, the .223 Rem case being just slightly larger than the .222; but they use the same bullets, depending on load, of course. The dangerous thing about having both is that it is possible to slip a .222 into a .223 chamber and possibly have the firing pin hit the primer; that might cause a catastrophic discharge. But going the other way, a .223 will not chamber in the .222. Funny thing is that the .222 sounds different than the .223; a 52 grain bullet at 3,600fps has a flat, sort of booming "whap" sound, whereas the .223 with the same bullet at about 3,400 has more of a crack to the sound - same barrel length.
We got invaded last night by three mini Schnauzers, along with an overnight gang of seven. Our younger son, Bella's Daddy, is a long haul truck driver and was in town for a few days and staying here at the house; our older son and his family are taking their annual vacation, this year to Puerto Rico, and brought their three dogs to stay with us for a bit more than a week, and they got here about 1830 last evening; they flew out of Las Vegas this morning. Bella's Dad left for L.A. about 1400, and Bella went home with her Mom at 1820; now it's just us old folks and the critters -- their three, plus our one and the Cat. Pretty quiet now, unless someone comes to the door; then all holy hockey sticks breaks loose.
I think I am going to go see what kind of leftovers I can scrounge something up with.
Later.

Been busy today. Worked from 7-9:30 AM remotely into verk. Left at 10:45 AM to pick up the oldest two from camp. Got home 'bout 1/2 hour ago. Saw some people I haven't seen in 30 years. I lived there for 4.5 years, 8th grade thru 1st semester of senior year. Then, was a counselor during the summers of 86-89.

Thanks Harry , I shot many 223 & NATO ...never even handled 222 :-\
Therapy went well, figured I'd be sore as hell this morning...but no drugs and I'm doing OK ???
They ran me through about 5 stretching movements to loosen the shoulder and had me do this crank thingy like bike to exercise & warm up the shoulder....
Gotta go 3 more times, but motion has improved greatly :D
Funny though the Right was by far the worst, now the left is a tad sorer this morning :-\
Great stand of 'boo Roo :)
I did our hardwood floors in the house from " boo " excellent product, very stable & tough , and looks great.
-
Coffee is up.... Headed down near Auburn today, picking up a Kennel and bringing it home. To be used for these girls when i can't be here. They are stArting to magnatize when i am here. Still to much mischief when i leave them. They are still puppies and discovering things.
May get some rain during the day. It has been a couple weeks we could use it.
Major2. I installed a lam floor in house in Virginia. Back hurt a month afterwards. But it looked good.
YA'll have a safe day.
-
Thanks for the coffee,lR ;)
65,partly cloudy. Wife's at the parade, I'm on duty. Gotta go out and do rounds in a bit, been up since before 5 since I had to move the truck for her to leave. Made myself some eggs, haven't had any for a while, shouldn't bother the A1c much. Good thing as I was a bad boy yesterday and ate some stuff that wasn't friendly to the sugar problem( too much white bread buns), but it tasted soooo good ::) :o
Watching the radar as we have rain in the forecast for later ::)
-
Mornin', y'all.
Rain? We gots rain. Last OFSDAR opportunity – rain. CAS thing taday – rain. Gots ammo, gots guns, ain't gots no shoot. Least ways Bertha's predicted track is farther out ta sea last report.
Knife block for the white-bladed Kyocera things is bamboo.
-
Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. I have a pot ready to put on when Roo's pot is empty. I'll put some water on to boil as well. The girls are still napping.
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
'Tis 61 and sunny. High of 82.
Slim
-
Major, the 222 is the older, slightly shorter version of the 223, this is based on the old 22 WCF black powder round and is much smaller.
-
.22 hornet kind of looks like a shrunken 32-20.
-
Short, LR and Mag in the rimfires, next step up in 22 is the Hornet or was.

That new wonder 5.56 pistil sub-machine gun round has about the same ballistics of a Hornet.
Taurus makes or made some revolvers in the round, would like to see Ruger make a Blackhawk in it, I would buy one.
-
Morning y'all.
Well, I did a bit of digging yesterday. Helping my pops dig a ditch for an internet wire conduit. We had a trencher, but there was so much rock (about 45% of it being serpentine asbestos :o), that we made it ten feet before we broke one of the pins on the machine. ::) Moved to rock bar and shovel, made it about another foot before we ran out of light. There was a rock that wouldn't have fit inside our 35qt ice chest.... that one hurt when I found it with the shovel.
Once we were all done, I got to have my first experience driving a car with a real transmission(a mid 80's Power Ram). I only killed it four times, and that was only in the first 20 feet. After that, I figured it out pretty well. Made it all the way across the driveway (about 150 feet), then backed it up/ pulled forward again/ backed up again to the spot where we needed to load the trencher. Never ground the gears, so, there may be hope. ;D

-
Rocking motion,TK, co-ordinating the feet, feeling the clutch start to engage. Just takes some practice is all. Not grinding gears is a good thing, cheaper,too ::) :D ;)

Wuz gonna go ta the Grandy Farm Village 'n The Cotton Gin down Carolina since there weren't no shoot. Traffic goin' that way was kinda bad. Got ta the turn for the ole Blackwater Security place 'n turnt around. Hit Southland 'n there was literally no place ta park. Got 'cross 168 ta Border Station so we went there.
The place was full. Stumbled 'round didn't see nothin' special 'cept they had the soft drinks we don't have in duh beach out ta sell individually. Last trip they was inna box of ten. Had the Cheerwine stuff. Big Red. Got me a couple grape Nehis 'n a couple A&W Root Beers.
Rain let up 'nuff ta hit the small produce stand in the parkin' lot. Got some tomatoes, squash, peaches 'n cantaloupes.

Don't know who belongs ta this Buick:
(http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w332/ArceySASS13901/oldbuick080214_zpscf668d71.jpg)
The right front tire's up. Just has a buncha grass clippin's washed up against it.
-
Nice, Arcey ;)
It proceeded to rain most of the afternoon here. No pool= easy day here. Cleaned some floors while I had the time ::)
-
Had 5 or 6 drops south of B'ham on the way back with the Kennel. Will set it up in morning.
Movie and some chips and salsa now beer
Sweet looking ride Arcey
-
It looks like a Buick. I have put on a fresh pot and some Hot water for the early risers, Enjoy!
-
Thank you nice cool morning here- Hummers are already hardcat it. The dogs are enjoying it. I have a spot on the lower section i can see from the porch. I leave some rolled corn and a mineral block. Loks like the corn is gone. Need to see what tracks have been left around it. Doesn't get to hot i have a little gardening i may do.
First thing biskits and bakkin ....
-
Mornin', y'all.
Low eighties in store 'n rain on 'n off. They're sayin' sumthin' 'bout a flood warnin'. Mebbe I'll get 'nother BMW.
Need ta feed the jays 'fore the next rain. They're prolly hangin' 'round now waitin' for the fly-thru ta open. Hope ta see the hawk.
Gracie's left duh beach 'n spent a week at a waterfoul refuge 'cross the river from Jamestown. Left there for Charles City County where there's two wildlife refuges ta choose from, a bunch of eagles to learn huntin' from 'n plenty osprey ta steal from. She'll have enough ta eat at either. Suspect she'll meander up ta the Potomac 'n visit the kids in KG 'fore she comes back ta the lower right hand corner. Camellia did 'n Azalea did 'fore him.
Gotta get movin' myownself.
-
Had rain showers first thing this morning. Stopped now, sun's trying to come out. 69 ::)
-
No rain around here for us, but we have cooler temps. We had breakfast on the patio and it was pleasant. I went back inside after my hip started hurting, sitting in the lawn chair. Lunch and supper are question marks.

Was going to make cfs but i think a Sonic's banana split might get it done.
Got the kennel up and started a fall garden. Going do some mowing later this week with a friend. Seem to be doing more of that this year than previous 6 or so. My COPD slows me down and my soft delicate hands will not touch a weed eater short of throwing in the dumpster.
Humidity and dust mostly slow me. Yet i plug along from daylight to dark. Not sure what my next client contract will require i may have to learn to mow in the dark.
. Now that i have lived here all of the summer and have worked over night shifts. I now know why the lawn care equipment companys install headlights on mowers. Yes they mow in commerical location till past midnight here.
-
The fat lady went ta 'her' off site 'n fetched a couple rotisserie yard birds – cheap. They're on sale on Sundays. Lugged back a bag of smallish 'taters too 'n baked up four of 'em.
All I did was rip the extremities off'n one bird, unwrap a 'tater from the oven 'n assemble a small salad for sumthin' green.
Right tasty. My tummy's all full. Beddy-Bye time soon.
-
We had fried okra, green beans, corn on the cob,and black eyed peas for supper tonight. Moose sliced some tomatoes and cantaloupe to go with them. I ate too much. I went to bed early and now I am awake. The morning Cawffee is ready to set on the fire and the water kettle is ready as well.
-
Up as well, had check the plumbing, Guess, I'll go back and try another run at drowsy...
Dinner was left-over spaghetti ,was a bit heavy but good.
Thanks for the set up coffee, Jim .... I did the same at this end :)
-
I'll put'em on,thanks for the set ups,gentlemen ;)
61 and foggy this morning. My Boss was ill over the weekend, probably dealing with what the wife and I had. We'll see how today pans out. Have a bunch of tests to run on the sewer plant, after that, may be on my own today if he's still not up to snuff ::)
-
Thanks for coffee -
Nice cool start to the day should be in 90's later.
Gotta go to big city later this morning. Take another drug exam..... Employer only requires a swab new client requires different.
Got a bunch mowing this week. This costal grass grows without rain.
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee,
The septic system was finished on Saturday. The checkbook is much lighter now. ::)
'Tis 55, overcast and humid. "Mostly cloudy. A chance of thunderstorms in the morning...then thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. Patchy fog in the morning. Highs in the upper 70s. Light and variable wind. Chance of rain 60 percent."
Slim
-
Mornin'.
Low ta mid eighties 'n less of a chance of rain than yestitty so the guessers up Wakefield say.
Learnt sumthin' 'bout the weather yestitty what was real important. Come from a youngster who be attendin' an institute of higher learnin'. To wit; rains a lot on the south east coastal areas in the summer. He offered up convincin' evidence by citin' the threat of rain it Pocono, PA yestitty durin' the race.
Was gonna back 'im up by pointin' out the weather in Akron the PGA was dealin' with but he had things well in hand so I didn't bother.
Ennyways...............
Gonna find sumthin' productive ta do.
-
Pretty swollen looking rain wise, got a misting this morning on the way in...Not sure what the guessers are say'n'
Storm should be off the coast....
1/2 day today cause of another session with sadistic torture folks ( Physical Therapy ).... not to bad though and I think its working
-
Good morning Folks! It will be another hot day in the Metroplex. I cannot look forward to fall around here because it will still be hot until late November-early December. I will need Cawffee this morning.
-
WOW! Gots ta do me some research 'fore the holidays. Wanna find some stuff with a kick like this:
The Associated Press
© August 4, 2014
TOTOWA, N.J.
A fire official says a mechanical failure apparently caused two explosions at a food laboratory in northern New Jersey, leaving two workers with cuts and bruises.
Totowa Fire Marshal Allen Del Vecchio tells The Star-Ledger (http://bit.ly/1mcP22T ) he felt the blast from Pharmachem Laboratories in Totowa at his house a mile away.
Pharmachem produces ingredients that flavor foods. Workers say they had just started on a new recipe for eggnog when the blast occurred.
Del Vecchio says the first explosion apparently came from a furnace-like device that was heating a vat containing eggnog flavoring ingredients. A subsequent blast apparently involved a pocket of hot air or gas that had built up inside the vat. The entire rear of the building was blown out.
Del Vecchio said several people could have been killed in the blast, had it not been a weekend when only a skeleton crew was present.
"People could have been killed — normal operation, you'd have had five, ten people working in there — that's how violent the explosion was," Del Vecchio said. "The damage was in the millions."
Initial reports of the explosion described the blast as coming from the vat, leaving open the question of whether somehow it could have been caused by the eggnog flavor ingredients, which were not disclosed.
-
I ain't seen a blast like that since Trinity let #7 boil dry
-
Mornin' y'all.
Well, I'm the man of the house yesterday, today and tomorrow. Pops is gone to a work meeting down south.
I'm gonna be takin' care of my best friend's "farm" while he's away at the county fair. With his couple of fair animals gone, that'll leave me with:
-9 turkey Toms
-2 rabbit bucks
-maybe a chicken?
-1 border collie/lab
-1 Aussie shep/ German shep/ Border collie.
I'm hoping the last one doesn't eat me... :o I've known the one dog, the border collie/lab (named Sky) since he was 12 weeks old, so, I'm not worried about that ole' boy.
The other dog, I've known since she was 6 weeks. The difference is, Sky is almost seven years old. April is only five months. She's big... :-\
Other news includes the possibility of a '46 Jeep. Maybe, maybe not... ::)
Our weather here is cloudy, but no rain forecast right now. Rain would be greatly appreciated.

News is saying James Brady has passed away
-
Thanks,lR. Haven't looked at the news today, just got in off the mowers ::)
-
I survived the weekend & didn't get any any trouble (except with the Wife). Had fun & saw friends I had t sen in years.
Now I'm back to work. At least what passes for "work" for a school teacher. Casting the high school musical today. Wish me luck.

Hear tell there's still #7 day-bree still fallin' ta Earth......................
Back ta school. What a beautiful sentence.

Calm down Arcey, it will be here soon.
Hoping my yard dries out enough to mow between today and tomorrow.
-
;D.

Del- looking at a online seed cat. Found some interesting corn. Think i will order some of this for spring planting. They also have a golden batam if you like that one.
http://www.rareseeds.com/strawberry-popcorn/
-
Dad used to grow that popcorn, pretty decorations but lousy popcorn in my opinion. Golden Bantam can be just bought at Earl's place, cheap with the rest of the seeds or expensive in the rack that says hair-loom seeds.
-
I had a late breakfast today, so no lunch. Supper is still a big question mark for tonight. Too hot to cook.
-
Two shoot's rained out, ain't got 'nuff .22s 'n school's out. Someone on 'nother board wrote 'e couldn't match the grammer 'n speelin' in my posts – that hurt. Ain't easy bein' po white trash.
Tossed a bunch of rescued yard bird from yesterevenin' 'n uncut cream of chicken soup in glass 'n nuked it. Cup of rice on the cook top. Dumped it in the soup 'n stirred it up. I'd had some lemon I'd squirted it in there but I didn't have any so I didn't. Nuked the contents of a can of black eyed peas. Werked right nice.
The sandman's after me.

Oh yes. Whenever's Ah 'member that day, Ah do it wif mah hat in haind. Nummer seben always give tha purest medcin :-[.
Nummer foar... now, that were a differnt story. Glad she's gone.
-
I have been deboning them left over rotissery birds- it makes a good chicken salad on a hot day. I render the fat skin and bones in to a chicken stock to give the dogs. It has helped with their weight gain. Mixed with a little rice and their food.
The chicken salad is all in what you want to put into it. I would not be afraid to serve mine to any tv judge..
-
Oh yes. Whenever's Ah 'member that day, Ah do it wif mah hat in haind. Nummer seben always give tha purest medcin :-[.
Nummer foar... now, that were a differnt story. Glad she's gone.
I remember those little golden drops of pure heaven raining on the mountainside. Shortly after the explosian. Ain't been any thing worth touching my lips since then.

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. I can never get enough to go in one of those little cups, otherwise I can pee all day in the commode.

Storms off the coast, we are feeling NADA , partly cloudy but bright, a tad cooler maybe :-\
....and I'm taking a PTO day today... just because.... & Planning on Catfish for lunch.
Thanks for the coffee....

Your right Slim they don't
Major2 catfish sounds good right now. I am having leftover CFS - that i made last evening. But catfish sounds mo betta'. Maybe this weekend.
I may make some fish taco's too

Heh, heh, heh.......
Took the fat lady ta Sam's fer sumthin' else she wanted but didn't buy last time. Got ta thinkin' 'bout the hawk scream files o'er a couple Nathan's dogs.
Got home 'n pulled up the page. Recorded 'em on my cell thingy set ta dictate mode. The hi-tech one I paid near $17.00 for.
Tossed a nut, bird got it. 'Nother bird got the second. Here come the furry l'il not so secret squirrel. Hit play. He stopped, stood on 'is hind legs 'n looked 'round. Back down on all fours snoopin' 'round for a nut. Hit it again, same scenaro, freeze, look 'n creep 'round summore. Third time, reckon 'e figgered 'e was pushin' 'is luck 'n took off.
Named the files 'Squirrel Repellant' 1 thru 4. Hope they don't get used to it. Real hawk might get 'em. Don't know how I'd live with myownself it one did.

Hawks gotta eat, too, Arcey ;D
Got the new blower installed today,plus, serviced the others down at the sewer plant. Did some trimming as well. Raining here now,67 it says. Keys to the kingdom day tomorrow ::)

I love watching the birds of pray in action.
I also have to admit I like seeing any and all predator in action.
This especially includes house cats that hunt "bushy tailed tree rats". They seem to get more than the birds of pray. (go get them Kitty Kitty!)
My best,
Blair

Hawks gotta eat, too, Arcey
Hehehehehe....... sure do.
So do I. Salads with fresh butchered vegetables 'n two day old chicken. Don't know how old the cheese was.....
Ennyways....
This here be Camellia:

An American Bald Eagle.

A bird of prey.
Watched the egg laid. Werried myownself sick it'd freeze. Saw 'im hatch. Then 'is brothers. Three bird clutch, all male.
CCB thought he was a she 'n named 'im Camellia. Then they got 'im out the nest for bandin' 'n transmitterin'. Opps... Too late, they'd already plastered Camellia all o'er the 'net. He was banded NC 'n that was that. These days they wait 'til they know i.e., Grace (Gracie), banded MR 'n female.
Watched 'im learn ta eat on his own. Watched the three of 'em fight o'er food. Then watched 'em fight just for the hell of it. When they were little they'd burn the energy up 'n give out like ya flipped a switch. Face plant, beak first inta the nest. They slept a lot.
Watched 'im fledge. Scared the hell out the fat lady cuz I was yellin', 'JUMP, CAMMY! JUMP!' 'n he did.
'N one day he ner his brothers were left in the nest ta watch. Flew the coop.
Occasionally, someone'll grab a pic of a passin' eagle 'n notice the antenna. They'll check on the transmitter coordinates with the CCB 'n find out that's him. This'n was took out near the jail, out where Tom lives, by a Ms. Beverly Nettleton. Thankee, ma'am.
Almost all growed up 'n white on both ends. Adult feathers growin' in kinda ragged but they'll smooth out. Gonna be a fine catch for a young lady bird in the near future.
-
I think I have seen that one while out driving. Great pictures, we also have a lot of hawks out here and I enjoy watching them.
The weather cooperated and I got the mowing done.
-
Hey y'all. I'll put on some makings for coffee and other hot liquids.
Well, went to the city today, for shopping and dentist stuff. Hot, muggy, and crowded. Didn't even get all the stuff we needed, but we were not about to go into Costco... :o
Have gotten control of "the farm." I'm also in control of a large amount of puppy slobber... :-\ The turkeys are rather rude birds, with nothing against pecking the first convenient human body part available.
Among other things, the low-beams in the headlights on our SUV are not working. I had to drive across town in the dark with the fog lights as low beams, and high beams as usual. Didn't see any law enforcement, so, I'm good right now.
I do have to head back to the Farm at 3am, to let the puppy out for a "pit stop."

Morning! slept'd in here a bit this morning. I don't normally sleep more than 5 hours. On any given day. I do occassionaly (quite often) nod out for 15 to 20 thru the day. Got mowing done off site- headed back to pile some downed pecan branches and rake the fodder up. If i don't finish today there is still 48 more left this summer. Still need to fire JD up here and spin a few circles. Tend to my small dirt patch of produce.
Just things to do besides play with these dogs, ehich can be time consuming at times. I was given a kennel over the weekend and that gives me and the trailer a break. When i have to go to work.
I am currently waiting on a different clearence requirement(pee test was part pf it) to start at another client site, should be done on friday. So i have had most of this week off. I am taking temp spots to fill.
Major2's catfish has my brain mushy i guess i need to take a drive to the "Top of The River" in Albertsville. This is at lake Guntersville in case any of you are Rand McNallying. Bout a hour away.
TK domestic turkeys of any feather color- especially the males are a PIA . Thos is why the indians showed us how to eat them.
Anyhoos thanks for the coffee

I slept in this morning as well, My right hip hurt most of the night. None of the over the counter pain medications seemed to work. It feels like a 2 pot morning. I will prep one for later, as well as iced tea and hot tea.
-
Mornin Y'all, just got back from the sawbones.Had some more "Pain management"(2nd time for these) shots in my back.If this doesn't help the next thing is a laser ablation to zap the nerve.The fun never ends.
-
Morning y'all... I'm not quite awake from my escapade in headlightless 3am drive... But, we did find the problem with the lights. Single relay, but we flipped that with another, so we have headlights, but no engine fan. :-\ that means we have exactly 0 fully functioning vehicles. Kinda makes like a Hoover with a leak. ::)
--TK
-
Great pic's Arcey now that i can see them...
Done for a day or two at the mowing.
-
Those aerial photos and some of the dates coincide with trips made to the offsite pantry and to St Brides Feed and Seed, so that eagle had to be what we saw.
-
Keep lookin', cuz. He stuck 'round the area for a spell last visit. Ain't thinkin' he'll go ta Argo tho.
Think, by the reported plotted courses, I've seen 'im several times but I can't be sure. Carolanne Farms was a haunt. Spent nights at Trashmore 'n the golf course. The man-made lake off Greenwich Road.
Right sure I had 'im at Pungo some time ago. Rains over filled Back Bay 'n the fish swam inta the fields. Water drained back 'n left 'em land locked. Saw three juveniles. Fits the time frame. Don't know if he was either one but that's where he was for several days, enjoyin' the buffet.
Never gotten close enough ta see the bands or the transmitter's antenna.
Interested ta see how far north Gracie goes.
-
I don't count on seeing any of them this far south. I am sure i follow the Tenneessee River and all those ccc dammed up puddles i'd find a cousin r two.
-
The Cawfee and Hot water are ready for drinking this morning. Enjoy! The weather folks are predicting 100 for today. These are the dog days of summer around here, September will only be hotter.
-
Suspect so, Roo.
Mornin', y'all.
Mid eighties 'n a suspiciously absent chance of the afternoon rains. Had all the summer I want, Tex.
Thinkin' on pokin' holes in paper followed up with hard thought on what I'm gonna eat this evenin'.
For some reason, rollin' up a few 'taters in foil 'n stickin' 'em in the l'il red one seems like the proper thing ta do. Maybe the rest'll come to me in an vision.
One thing more:
Report: Va. Beach one of most conservative cities
The Virginian-Pilot
© August 7, 2014
Virginia Beach joins Oklahoma City, Okla., and Mesa, Ariz., as some of the most conservative cities in the country, according to two researchers.
The report by two professors from UCLA and MIT looked at average public policy preferences of residents in the 51 cities with populations of more than 250,000, according to the Arizona Republic. They then examined whether the preferences were reflected in city operations and tax policies.
Mesa was judged by the professors to be the most conservative city in the nation, followed by Oklahoma City and Virginia Beach. San Francisco was the most liberal city, followed by Washington, D.C., and Seattle, Wash.
I had no idea the rest of the country was in such sad shape.
-
Me neither! Arcey, You haven't lived until you have spent a summer up here. It will be hot around here past Labor Day, maybe Halloween. Our winter is from January-March, and back to hot again in April.
-
Makes you wonder how many cities they polled.
Thanks for the coffee..
Gonna pay a few bills and stock the pantry some today down to last of corn cobs. Things are ruff here but it is fixing to really stink. ;)
Got a shift to work tonight 13 hours.
Headed to mid 90's today now 74 82% humidity.....
Hummingbird feeders are all active already this morning will have to top them off later.

I'm here, was off 2 days, pewter is still at SIL's shop, should call and give him a hard time, but I bet paying customers come first. He's doing real well, has a store front now.
-
His own shop, nice. Congrat the man for me, Del.
Can take the 'sperimental' tag off the AutoComp, 115 gn. jacketed, 9mm load. They go right where they're aimed out the G26. Let one slip out the twenty – kinda bad. Knew it when I let it loose. Two more what didn't quite cut red. The load out shoots me, I'm happy.
10/22 is still high/right at 11 yards. Ain't worried 'bout the high part. The right part irks me. Hafta smack the front sight o'er a bit more 'n try it again next week.
Gots me some horseradish sauce from the off site on the way back. Hadda a vision. There's fish in my future. It's all M2, Roo 'n Tom's fault.
-
I think there's some fish in my future too.
Been takin care of some overdue maintenance before I go back to school. Saw the eye doc yesterday morning, got new lenses on the way. Saw the oncologist at 13:30, had some blood drawn & said "see ya in three months." Had a cyst removed at 19:00, looked like a chunk of gristle about the size of my thumb. This morning was the dentist. Three new fillings & an appointment for two more next Tuesday.
At least I won't have to take any sick leave the first week or so ::)
Skipped breakfast & lunch is on hold till my new fillings have a chance to harden up. Still leaning toward some fish.
-
Picked up some medium shrimps thinking of trying shrimp and grits thingy. Got a steak for the grill thing this weekend and fixing for the fish tacos. Fresh stock of paper products. This store didn't have iam's, still need to make a wal mart or tractor supply. Enough running for today. A/c rest of the day.
-
Got 76 sunny with a nice breeze here, Whut Arcey calls a bonus day.
Arcey, on the 10-22, check the barrel tension screws that hold the barrel on, if one or both of them loosens it can cause the problem you're having.
-
I'll start a pot.
59, partly cloudy. Looking at 80's for today. Have a light post to move today, maybe put the one in at the new home site. Clean the pool today as well.
Trumpet stuff is getting busy, concert Wednesday night, practice for wife's alumni band last night. ::)

Mornin'.
'Nother yestitty. Supposed ta break off a l'il cooler tomorrow. Kinda wish I had a pool ta jump in from time ta time.
Fish was nice. Horseradish'll open the sinuses. When ya ain't had the genuine article inna while 'n ya get used ta the diluted stuff at Arby's, the first shot's kind of a shock. Baked 'tater 'n small salad rounded things out. Gonna need 'nother vision for the evenin'. Gotta go back ta Sam's - again. Nathan's'll take care of lunch.

Thanks for the Cawfee this morning. Another triple digit day in store. I sorta slept in this morning. Breakfast on hold for awhile this morning.

Got a bit of a day today. Be headed to the town of Mt. Shasta today, picking up some batteries for an internet repeater site. After we get back to Redding, we'll be going to go look at a pickup. '89 Mazda B2200. It's a diesel, with a 5-speed. According to the seller, it gets about 40mpg. I can live with that type of mileage! 8)

Hey y'all.
Well, that truck sold right out from under my feet. I was planning on calling when we got to Redding. Made one last check before we left Weaverville. It was sold... >:(

Better luck next time, TK. I paid $350., for my first car, A 56 Chevy Bel-air 2door Ht. I wish that I still had it. It would be worth a lot more than $350.

Tri-5's bring serious $$$ & a 56 2 door Bel-air may be the most desirable along with the Nomad.
My Dad had the 55 Olds version he bought it new , white on blue w/ the rocket V8.
Last minute, rush project of an Atlanta based client, it's a permanent showroom overhaul.... Mostly scenic with some stage lighting
I have to complete it and have it trucked to Hot-Lanta by next Thursday...
That spells Ching ching to the Client, and OT for my crew, so I'm headed to salt factory this morning, had planned to ding steel some.
Catfish din-din was superb , glad I inspired :) ... and I did buffalo shrimp salad last night.
No clue for today , but prolly buy lunch for the crew.
Hotter than HE double toothpicks, with standard thunder-boomers by prevening SOP ....that's about it from Liberal H'orlando.

Coffee and Sweettea is up.
Rain last evening humidity is enough to give you a headache. Made the shrimp and grits... It was pretty good will keep that in rotation eith quick and easy things to have. Not sure about today.

A good Saturday morning to you all, thanks for the cuppajoe; I always need one when I get up really early like this, only got about three hours on the pillow during the night. Something in my clockworks is jinked up.
It's been summer as usual, here, but this past week has been milder than some, with highs right around 100 +/- a few. The humidity is running up and down like a yoyo, with a bit of occasional rain and some rather severe flash flooding here and there.
You mentioned that '56 Chevy hardtop, TLD; today's prices on them run from about one to two thousand for a rusted out hulk, to as high as six figures for a numbers correct, "as it came from the factory" restoration; on average, though, a nicely restored/mildly upgraded car will fetch from around $20K to as high as maybe $60k, depending on the level and style of work done to it. The '56 is arguably the most sought after, and my favorite, but I sure don't have the sort of disposable income that having one requires.
Our oldest and his family are flying in from Puerto Rico this evening, and heading back home to SoCal in the morning, so our mundane existence will go back to a mild roar; we have had their three mini Schnauzer type critters for the past eight days, and with them added to our one, and the cat and Bella, it's been sort'a "manic" around here. And when Bella goes back to school in a few weeks, things should resume their relatively humdrum day-to-day routine.
Well, I think I am going to try to get a head start on stuff today.
Later.

Kid, might be a good thing, get a gas burner, oil burners are great for heavy work, but in a Mazda that's an oxy-moron. What you save in mileage will kill you in fuel costs, plus starters, alternators, oil changes plus having to replace two batteries when needed.

a wise fellow speakith the truth here !
a 25 year old NIP Oil burner will need injectors and perhaps a fuel pump more than likely , and for you pay for those... :o
you could buy a way newer vehicle..cash !

Out garage saling earlier today. Found 6 small bread loaf pans for a buck for the lot. Coulple dvd's each a buck. Tstorms back on now... Garden needed some so it is a all good.
-
Okay, I'm funeraled out today. :-\
But, the big news is...
I actually got a truck! ;D My aunt is giving me her '98 Ford Ranger. That means I can put a few bucks into a new rifle. I'm gonna try a H&R Pardner .308, or something of that nature. The truck arrives on Monday.
--TK
-
Them H&R's are good rifles, caliber choice is as good as any. Have had 2 of them myself, 22 Hornet and 45-70. wouldn't mind having one in that 300 Blackout aka 300 Wh
isper, think it would be a fun cast bullet plinker.
-
Get the horse to tell you where he is getting out and it will save you a lot of work Slim.
Working with the horses today and went to check out a barn my daughter wants to move her Mare to since it is about $100 a month cheaper than the one she is at. It is a bit rustic but all the horses are well kept so it looks like a good deal.
-
.308 is a good choice.
-
As well as 30-06, 280, 7X57, 7-08, 270, 6.5X55 and even 30-30. Any will do for anything that walks in the US although the 20-30 may be a bit light for big Gristle bears although a Trans Am would be cheaper that a hunt for one of those.
-
Well, the reason I chose .308 is that I need a rifle that has "cheap" lead free ammo, for the California lead ban taking effect January 1, 2015. I already have a 30-30. I love my ole' 94, but lead-free ammo is about $50 per 20... 308 is cheaper. That, and after I leave the house I intend to go to Montana or Texas. Longer shots than I can comfortably make with a 30WCF. 7-08 wouldn't be bad, either.
Y'all keep cool and un-lightninged. ;)

Mornin, y'all.
Guessers say 'bout eighty 'n clear. Bonus day for the second Saturday CAS thing yestitty. Low eighties 'n cloud cover. The humidity wasn't hard ta deal under those conditions.
Got home 'n found she'd picked up some pretty nice hunks of cow whilst I was away. Broiled the things. Ate too much. Ain't in much of a desire ta think about this evenin' as of yet.
Been awhile since I was showin' the 'Bird in AACA events. The 'money' mid-fifties Chevrolets were the '57s at the time. What I wanted when I was a kid in the mid-sixties cuz they were THE car ta have. Couldn't find one I could afford, second choice was a '55. Got one them.
-
I wish that I still had that 56. I bought a 55 2 door post with engine problems, I found a rebuilt 235 six to put back in it. It had a 3 speed and overdrive. I made enough money on it to buy a 57 210 4 door, and sold it to finance my next trade. My Dad taught me a lot about auto mechanics, he would help me when I got in over my head.
-
I always liked the 55 body style best.

Put in a pretty good OT day on the Atlanta Rush job....not quite were I wanted to be built wise, but maybe It was more wishful thinking than reality in what I could make a dent in construction wise ....
But it was close :-\
Bought the guys lunch , fried yard-bird, slaw & 'tator salad from Publix w/ Pepsi , Sprite or tea ( I wanted the Tea )
all in all a nice treat. There were leftovers so I brought a bit home for dinner last night.
All that chicken, (tryptophan) made me sleepy so, I was in deep rem slumber by twilight:30 :-\ before dark anyway .
Relaxing today, maybe watch the Glen road race , and soak in the pool , still have some of that chicken too :-X
sending well wishes :) Hope the Boy is on the mend, Slim

Feel better soon, sick kid of Slim's.
I certainly didn't object to the '55. Took the original motor outta mine 'n rebuilt it. Old man didn't like it – no oil filter. Found a 283 inna '59. Rebuilt that one 'n stuck it in. That, I didn't pay for.
Hadda doctor in the club. Had several '57s in various configurations, all frame offs. Two door hard top, Nomad, a convertible 'n others. He, or whoever maintained 'em, would stick a short length of hose on the radiator draincock. Keep 'em from dribblin' on the pan under the radiator when they drained 'em. I'd get picky 'n gig 'im for it when I judged a show. 'Bout all ya could find ta deduct points for. Didn't come off the line that way.
If I were a youngster taday, I'd wanna Trans Am. Wouldn't mess with the motor. Putta bird decal on the hood ta increase the performance.

I would not mind a TA, the SD 455 model(71 or 72) or a 69 or 70 Z-28. My wife better hope that I do not win the PCH contest, I will purchase numerous classic cars.

Got no use for a trans am or a camaro or a corvette. I'm a truck guy. Got my eye on about a '56 model Chevy 1 1/2 ton. Got a grain box & hoist, straight six with a 5 speed & a 2 speed rear end.

Drove many with a 2 speed rear end all makes including Mack and IH both w10 tire models and many ton n half to duce n half. Some with shifter on the floor some the magic red knob.

That's kinda like me, I have a '53 Chevy one ton out back, haven't done anything to it in years, though, except move it home from the old family farm to keep the scrap thieves off of it. They got the radiator and grill before I moved it, though..... >:(
Also have a 1600 IHC with 304, 4&2, grain bed that we used to use on the farm, haven't done anything with it either for years, and a Studebaker 1 1/2 ton, with grain bed.....but problems getting the title transferred.

Afternoon y'all. I'll offer up some tea and a bowl of sugar for the group.
Well, I'm a little sore right now. I was out taking care of "the farm" this morning, throwing some scratch out for the turkeys out of a glass cup, when April the puppy comes barreling around the corner towards me. I didn't think anything of it, because she usually goes around, or stops, but this time, she hit the back of my knee, folding it under me like a wet rag. Well, I couldn't drop the cup on the rocky ground, so I threw my left arm out to wrap around a fence post. I caught it, and spun around a ways, coming to an abrupt stop... right on the gate latch. The latch hit my 5th and 7th ribs, and I'm fairly certain they're bruised nicely. Right now, 6 hours later, it's still a scabbed, red mess. Can't lift my left arm much higher than head height. :-\ I'm too young to be having debilitating shoulder issues! >:( ::)

TK, old tin cans are best for feeding the critters, nothing to break that way. Coffee cans were the best, but of course they are all plastic now, but still work fine. Better than using the fine china... ;D

That ain't quite true, Roo. We'd never give away one of those things. We give our clean shooters a higher quality Lexus. We don't have one at the moment because I've been unable to find a new one runnin' with the keys in parked in front of a 7-11 within walkin' distance of the house. Red Cavanaugh got the last one while someone we all know 'n love on this board missed it three straight matches with a total of four lousy misses.
First time in my vehicle ownin' life I've gone this long without a pick up. If I live long enough to wear out the station wagon I'll prolly get another station wagon. Been threatenin' to put a hitch on it 'n buy a utility trailer ever since I bought it. But, hell. What I'd pay for what I want will buy a lot of deliveries of large, heavy items 'n someone else has to do the liftin'. 'N I ain't gotta store the trailer when I ain't usin' it.

tell me about IT ! 8-9 or weeks since I hurt them and rehab, and mine ain't right yet ! ::)
I was all PU from the 70's -90's last one was an 04 ....got into the Cushy Lincoln LS & then a CTS since then
now one of those cross overs ...I miss my PU's but not the imposing yokels , that'd call to get me to haul stuff for them.
-
Arcey, That makes a lot of sense. At this stage of my life, I would pay younger and stronger to do those types of chores. The Cawffee beans are in the grinder and the water is in the reservoir.
-
Mornin', y'all.
Low eighties 'n a chance of rain in the afternoon.
'N if they drop it they bought it, Tex. We get 'nother one. They install the new one 'n haul the old one 'n the crate the new one come in away. I drink coffee 'n watch.
Gotta scare up sumthin' for did-din. Was gonna do chicken breasts o'er 'taters but I forgot ta take the things out the freezer yesterevenin'.
-
I still miss a truck- there is times like right now when i'd like to pick up. 2by's for targets. I can stick them thru the rear window and juggle them, it is not impossible but plywood is harder to haul. (I am a redneck and can get creative with a vehicle.). I would still wait for free delivery and am willing to pay additional on heavy items.
To those who think oh call Rooster he has a truck. Sorry! My truck and self have plans during your up coming needs. I moved to my last 3 moves without help other than the kid i paid to help me load in Dec. Paybacks are hell.
Thanks for the coffee.
-
Sheet of plywood or 2Xs tie to the luggage thingy on top. Extension ladder goes up there too. 6' step ladder'll go in the back with the window down. Just gotta remember not ta try ta put the thing in the house with stuff on top. Ya can't see the step ladder from the driver's seat if ya stick it up there 'less ya open the hole in the roof. The shade ain't been opened in weeks cuz if ya leave it in a parkin' lot in the sun this time of year for anytime at all it's an oven when ya get in it. Last time I had sumthin' on top I left the opener on the freezer so I couldn't open the door without gettin' out.
Dropped the back seat 'n lugged the bails of pine straw she wanted.
Thinkin' on a modification to the four wheel gun cart. Couple clevis pins 'n the uprights come off. Stick it in the back without droppin' the right half of the back seat.
-
It feels like a 2 pot morning. I had some tots with my Cawffee this morning.I slept in this morning. My right hip has been keeping me awake at night. The Alleve does not help.
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
Sackett is feeling better. He sleep on the coach most of the day.
Sorry ta hear of yer injury TK. Hope ya mend quickly.
On vacation this week, county fair week.
'Tis 68 and overcast. "Cloudy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms in the morning...then showers likely and a slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 70s. Light and variable wind becoming southwest 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 70 percent."

Both dogs to Vet this morning average weight 40 pounds. Raina is a few lighter. She is a smaller frame. Both healthy and now officially known by the tax revenurers in the Heart of Dixie state. Law n Order every time!
Slim glad Sackett is feeling better.
-
Yer a fine, carin' man, Roo. Hey! both of 'em for me.
Fergot ta tell Nash fetched a box turtle 'n wanted the SiL ta play catch. SiL put the turtle where Nash couldn't get to 'im 'n tossed a ball.
My good deed for the day was goin' ta the dreaded Farm Fresh, I might have mentioned I despise that store, on a mission for the grands for special jelly beans Ali can't get local 'n don't wanna order.
Flavors include 'Stinky Socks, Rotten Egg, Barf, Booger, Baby Wipes, Lawn Clippin's, Toothpaste, Canned Dog Food, Moldy Cheese 'n Skunk Spray.' Yum..........

Keep hydrated while you are working outside, Slim. Them favors of jelly beans would only appeal to kids. No rain and no triple digit temps today.
-
Mornin' y'all.
I'm a bit high strung today. My new pickup will be arriving today. ;D It's just a waiting game. The particular cousin who will be delivering, doesn't get up before 11am. 10:37 local time right now... ::)
--TK

Arcey,
;)
I think I would tell them, "you don't want to Order then... you ain't going to get them".
But, that's just me.
My best,
Blair
-
I'm here, home thing still the shop, but figure pay customers get first service. ;D Wife has been cleaning up her workshop for something to do instead. ::)
Went to buffet last night, spinach looked good, made a big salad, remember why I don't do much salad. ::) Made it home safe though.

:)don't knock those flavors till you try them. I love the popcorn flavored ones

I'll stick with the traditional favors of the jelly beans. Moose has school In-Service today, Victoria is napping in the back.

Rainin' here. Been doing that since just shy of 10 this morning. Made for a short day. Got a chance to clean the disc and defrag this thing. Took quite a while, but it got done ::)
Del, SIL ate canned kraut for lunch yesterday, reported she got cleaned out......totally ::) :o ;D

Nice smile.........................
Can't fault the woman, Blair. Shippin'. Takes after 'er Daddy, cheap. She has three kids. Take after her, sarcastic back-talkers. Heh, heh, heh....... I love 'em!
The translation:
Stinky Socks = Tutti-Fruitti. Skunk Spray = Licorice. Rotten Egg = Buttered Popcorn. Baby Wipes – Coconut. Moldy Cheese = Caramel Corn. Booger – Juicy Pear. Canned Dog Food = Chocolate Puddin'. Barf = Peach. Toothpaste = Berry Blue. Lawn Clippin's = Lime.
Just printed on the box with the alternative 'flavorful' names is all.
-
Those were all featured on one of the TV shows like How it is made or the like.
-
Forgot to tell you. brother had some fun with a kid at a parts house the other day.
He needed a ballast resistor, kid asked what it was for. 1948 Ferguson TE-20 tractor with the original Lucas distributor, Bosch coil and a Delco-Remy 12 volt alternator. The kid had to find the stores old guy to find one since he didn't have a clue what one was.

I'll start a pot. ;)
Rained and thundered a bunch last night. Currently cloudy and 69 here. My rain gauge is full, teach me not to empty it every once in a while ::)
-
Mornin', y'all.
Weather's same as yestitty. 41 days 'til fall.
Chicken breasts all defrosted. Be in the l'il red one in awhile. Did pasta 'n a small salad yestitty evenin'. A reasonable amount for a change. Could walk without difficulty when it was gone.
Wanna do some gun stuff for the WP OFSDAR thing comin' up. Primary 'n back up Smiths are clean. All the ammo's loaded. Was all done for the last gatherin' what rained out. Ain't got no gun stuff ta do 'n it's too early ta stuff it in the station wagon. Guess I could polish the Fobus 'n the crocs..............
-
Thanks for the Cawffee. I just finished mowing the yards before it got too hot outside. I drank plenty of cold water afterward. No clue for lunch. moose has more school stuff today.
-
Afternoon y'all.
.65" of rain overnight. Over 3" below normal for the summer.
Looks like the sand point is plugged. Water pressure is next to nothing. Jet pump runs forever before shutting off. :(
'Tis 68, sunny and low humidity. High of 74.
Slim

Thanks for the coffee-
Had about that missing 3" of rain here yesterday afternoon.
Started at new client site this morning. 04:30 wake up call even early for me...

Back when I was werkin' evenin's, 2000-0400, used ta hate ta wake up it 0430 ta go home.......

4:30 AM is about SOP for me, Gotta drain the 'ol kickstand, u know !
Sometimes I can dose back off , if'n I'm not head'n to work the job... :-\
Had a steak burrito bowl from Chipotle .. pretty good too....
TK... seems it always takes longer , to get something (in this case your Truck) while you are waiting with anticipation...
Next thing you know you'll have had it for months :D
-
5:30 to 6 if i am off even if i work till 22:00.
I read tonight the beautiful Lauren Bacall has passed away.
Going to head out in a few and watch for meterors
-
Evenin' Y'all.
Well, the truck is still a no-show. The cousin who's supposed to have dropped it off yesterday had a "good" reason not to... He was too hung over. >:(
He didn't deliver today, either. Wonder what his excuse is this time... ::)
--TK

Hollywood is reeling , we lost Robin Williams then Lauren Bacall yesterday :( they were legends , history say's they go in 3's :-\
Well coffees on maybe a bacon & egg biscuit. I expect a long day today.

Maybe it'll be Alec Baldwin or Ed Asner taday.
A glorious mornin' ta y'all.
Was wunnerful yestitty, complete with nice sun-showers. One could see the humidity. Hadda beautiful pond at the end of the A/C condensate drain – with fish 'n a heron wadin' in it.
Ahhhhh........ The wonders of nature. 40 days 'til fall.
Usually up by 0500 or I'm late. Hold over from Fraud/Forgery/Admin. Sgt. days in the Detective Bureau. In the office by 0645.
0400 on shoot mornin's. Everythin's loaded up the night before 'cept the cooler Coffee, scan the paper, eat somethin', shower 'n put on some clothes. Hate bein' rushed when I'm half asleep. Leave 0645-0700.
-
Morning off to Doctor been 6 months since last visit. I have lost some weight. I occassionally eat salads. I quit smoking drink water and coffee. I hope they don't tell me to give water up next. Of course i would kill for a biscuit this morning. But the vampires like theirs plain.
Ya'll have a safe day
-
LR, I feel your pain! The morning Cawffee is up and the Hot water as well. I'll make some Iced tea for lunch. My wake up time varies, most of the time, about 0500.
-
Mornin. Off to school for the first in service day. Kids come on Friday. Could use a few more months of summer :P
-
Moose has already had 2 days of In-Service this week. This will be her 42nd year in Education, all in the same District and In the same City that she graduated from.
-
Going to be honest here, about ready to call the AP and mention I am one of at least two who never found Robin Williams funny and that is before he took his anti-gun stance out loud.
-
I always thought that he was a little "strange". He did entertain the Troops for the USO. Fame and Fortune does have a price. Some folks can handle it and some can't.
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
Got a part that I thought was the issue, but I think I need a new pump instead. Should have got it while I was there. ::) Might not be able to get back to it 'til Monday night.
Busy here without the water issue. Check in day at the fair. Leaving about 1 PM.
'Tis 75 and cloudy. High of 80.
Slim
-
Good luck at the Fair this year, Slim. We have a reprieve from the triple digits for a day or two, but it is still hot. No lunch, had a late breakfast. No clue for supper tonight.
-
Just come in from the hospital visitin' cousin Tom. He's doin' good. Lookin', actin' 'n talkin' like what's normal for Tom. Waitin' on discharge now. Got ta feelin' bad it home 'n decided he'd best go t'other day. He kin tell ya the details when he gets back.
We got a nurse what come in for vitals all werried an eagle's gonna get 'er in the parkin' lot. Got one hangin' 'corss the street lately 'n as the eagle flys, it ain't a mile from HK's golf course. Big ole osprey nest onna a power tower right outside 'is window. Pointed that out to 'er too.
Been so long since I've paid any attention to TV stuff, movies, actors 'n such, if someone woulda stopped me on the street last week 'n asked if Williams were alive or dead then I wouldn't have known.
Tolt Tom of the Hollyweird thing. 'Bout M2's concerns of it comin' in threes. He nominated Jane Fonda.
-
Jane would be good, could come up with others if need be. ;)
-
Good day, y'all.
Today was a two cup morning (I usually only have one, if at all). I have gotten about 5 hours total sleep the past three days, being upset about the truck thing. I keep telling myself to let it go, but, I'm kind of stubborn.. ::) That all being said, it still hasn't shown up today, and it's quarter to noon, local time.
Tomorrow I go down to the city for Junior Orientation. Today is officially my last day of summer. Hmph.
Weather-wise, we have temps in the 90s, with lows in the 40s. Sunny right now, with some cumulus boom-boom building at all four corners of the compass.
--TK
-
Off Jane ...several times over, far as I'm concerned...
what I'd do on her grave won't pass for flowers....
Nor, Rosanne, or what's that fat Bioch's name ? Rosy ?...for that matter Woody Allen could turn belly up as well...
-
I'd settle for Jane but like M2 we could add a fee more.
-
I'd have a hard time coming up with any other names to add to the "to go" list, since I rarely ever watch TV or a movie anymore.
Look on the Brightside, TK, you wouldn't want that cousin to be driving your new-old truck over until he's good and sober, now, would you? Be a shame to bend it up before you get a hold of it.
First day of pre-school for my girl tomorrow, she's 5 now, but her birthday was 12 days too late to get into kindergarden this year. Gonna always be the "old kid" in her class now.

Power's back! Forgot to say, last post was on generator power, was off when I got home from work. Dragged it out, and it started on the second pull.

Sunny 'n mid ta high eighties. Wish ya better for the fair, Slim.
The watchin' TV thing. Do watch Chopped. Ya know when ya watch too much of it. Just finished a tournament of teens. After seein' all four rounds, tolt the fat lady t'would come down ta two specific kids in the final. Twix the two it'd be a difficult pick. Those two went at it for the title 'n $65,000.00 in prizes. Ain't puttin' a spoiler out case somebody sees a re-run. Will say if ya wanna freak out a a land locked city girl, stick an octopus in 'er basket.

59 and almost sun here. Been more like mid to late Sept. here. Guessers are calling for low 70's today with maybe 40's over night tonight.
With our fair coming up, been kinda busy band-wise. Practice for both bands two nights in a row. ::)

Yessir, Yessir, Yessir, Three Bags Full!

Mornin all, thanks for the coffee.
Just enjoying a wonderful day in the country after 3 days in the hospital.
Started feeling strange Sunday evening and took my BP, it was 206/115. Had the wife unit take me to the hospital ER, neighbor had to help get me in the car, I couldn't walk a straight line. After a CT scan, MRI, MRA, Echo with bubble and a nuclear stress test it was determined that I had a stroke on both the left and right hemispheres of my cerebellum. Doesn't seem to be any permanent side affects, but then I was strange to begin with.
I follow up with the primary care in a week and will get a call from my Cardiologist for follow up with them. I expect I will hear from a Neurologist as well in the near future, and I have two new meds to add to my collection. It would be nice if they would make them all different colors and sizes so I could convince myself they were skittles or M&Ms.
PT guy takes me for a walk on day 1 and tells me to walk when I feel up to it. Comes back on day 2 and finds me making laps in the hallways because there really isn't anything on TV and doesn't return. Speech therapist comes in and I looked at her and said, "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a great and new nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the principal that all men, except Democrats, are created equal" she didn't return.
At least my nurses had a sense of humor.
-
LIT, I hope that you do not have any lasting effects from your stroke. We wanna keep you around a lot longer.
-
Tolt me ta walk in Depaul. So I did. Went outside ta burn one 'n couldn't get back in. 'N when I did
get back in the nurse was pissed cuz she didn't know I'd left.
Ennyways..........................
One friggin' miss 'n a stinkin' procedural.................................. RATS! Gonna mess up my string of top 5's.
Had some .38s, thought was CAS mouse fart stuff. No knock downs first stage. Gonna use 'em up. Filled the loaders. First stage. First point. First shot of the day.
'Awright. Range is clear, load it up.'
Did. Holstered. Hands up.
'Shooter ready?
'Yep.'
Beeeeeeeeep. BANG! DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weren't CAS stuff. T'was 125 gn. stuff I'd 'warmed up' cuz I got sick of the knockdowns not fallin'. Damn near knocked over the static targets. They're all gone now.
Weather was really nice when we set up. Stayed decent thru four stages 'fore it got warm. Good shoot. Fun buncha folks ta waste a mornin' with.
-
Dang Lit..today seems the day for it,,,I just read what Chuck Burrows is going through, and now yourself.
I keep the knee bent , whilst I speak the Man up stairs... God Bless and keep improving, anybody that dislikes Democrats is all right and no wrong.
-
+1, Major 2!
-
LIT hope doc's can regulate your Blood Pressure for you get you back on track. I certinly wish you a speedy recovery.
Not to wish badluck on him, i didn't realize Chuck Burrows was still among is.
We have had a couple really mild days this week, morning highs in tne upper 50s normal would be 80 at sunrise. Humidity around 60% I can live with it.
Vampire after bragging how good she was took 3 tries to get blood yesterday. So i screamed 3 times. ThT ought teach her!
Slim all the Slimettes good luck with fair projects.

Off loaded 144 gallons of chlorinator( shock) today. That'll hold us for a few months. this afternoon we planted a new light post for a resident. Moved the spot over so the resident can put in some extra drive/parking area.
Had hamburgs and corn on the cob, and a large salad tonight ::)
-
Had burgers & corn on the cob here too. Neighbor flagged me down & said take some of this corn, it's getting late in the season. Only relieved him of a dozen ears, ain't spending the time & energy to preserve a bunch.
Off to musical practice. Be home between 9 & 10, kids start school tomorrow.
-
"home grown" meal here tonight, deer and fried taters. We all survived the first day of school here, well, actually PRE school.
-
So that's the first first day of school. The only thing more exciting than that is the last last day of school for your last child. We've been celebrating that one from a year & a half now. ;D
-
Well, Stu, I'll have to wait about 16 more years for the Last Last........
Up a bit late.
Soooo many tomatoes, can't can them fast enough...
aha! 11:15.... Processing time's over, time to go to bed...
-
Evening y'all.
Well, I'm officially oriented for junior year. zip-a-dee-do-dah. :-\ I'm thinking this year's class is going to be a whole lot more odd than last. ::)
Still no truck, in case y'all were wondering.
--TK
-
I'm thinkin' you're gonna have to go get that truck.
-
These are the good times TK :) they may seem humdrum... but you'll remember... especially your senior year all your life.
There will be adventures and many many memories, but your senior year. that's a milestone.
I am just a coupla years shy of 50 since my senior year :o and I remember :D ....yeah good times.
here s hope'n' the truck is more dependable, than that hungover cuz ;)
Taken some PTO , I have 144 hours to use before December (that's 3.5 weeks)
I figure to burn 16 today & Monday, and 40 or so when I go out the Texas for the NCOWS SW Regional.
That would still leave 11 days, to find something to do.
Grabbed me some potato balls for dinner , a Cuban culinary delight to go with my Broiled Tilapia Parmesan.
It's kinda like a stuffed meat, mashed potato ball, they make a Beef taco like stuffing and the drop them in a fryer...
Terrible for ya I suppose , but so tasty :-\
-
Why is it that all the stuff that tastes so good is bad for you? ::)
I'll start a pot and some water.
52, high clouds. Gotta sweep the pool, back wash the filters, and mow some today. Keys to the kingdom this weekend ::)
-
I have a pot of Cawffee brewed and Hot water. I have got less than 2 years for my 50th HS and my 45th College. I can't attend both, I am leaning toward the College reunion.

52°? Wow, that's nice. 67° o'er this way 'n expectin' mid-eighties.
Got left o'er stuff in the ice box got ta be sumthin' done with.

Hey Y'all.
The truck finally came! ;D Excitement runs high. ::)
I also got 52 cents in dimes and pennies out of the deal.

-
It's not RedBull that give you wings...it's has to be your first wheels, lets see it :)
-
Yeah. Pictures or it didn't happen Kid. ;D
Have fun in that truck, but be careful. It's scary how fast a wreck can happen. Remember you're sharing the road with a whole bunch of idiots.
-
Here you go, fella's. This is out, learning to drive the sucker. It has a TOUCHY clutch...
I will admit to grinding the gears once, and killing it twice... Guilty as charged. ::)
It is a 1994, 4x4, with a 4.0L V6. That thing got's some oomph!
-
My wife had that same truck, same year in Teal we bought new , sold it with 123,000 miles on clock in 99.
I bought my Daughter a White 03 extended cab with the 3.0 , auto just before her senior year ( was a dealer demo )
sold that one to a neighbor down the road 3 years ago.
It had 130,000 then and it's still a daily driver for the guy. My sister had 220,000 on her 92 Explorer 4.0 , those V6 Ford motors have some legs.
Point is, keep it under you, and drive like own and care for it, rather than like you stole it and it will serve you very well.
-
It's not RedBull that give you wings...it's has to be your first wheels, lets see it :)
Agreed
This day 45 years (1970) ago a left handed guiitar picker took the stage in the middle of a pasture in new york. Woke the masses to the Star Spangled Banner.
-
The morning Cawffee and the Hot water are ready to drink. Enjoy! I am glad has arrived, not bad for a freebie. The Ranger is a dependable truck. I never owned one, but I had a V6 Mustang that gave me good service. Keep the oil changed and it will take care of you.
-
Due to another thread here...I'm out in a short for some Banger's & Eggs
There is an English owned pub in town that does it up Ship-shape and Bristol fashion :)
Then on to the gun shop to see what other mayhem I might do to my wallet. :-\
Yep you guessed it ! batch'n' it here , "she that must be obeyed" it visiting away this weekend :D
I'll leave the Coffee in the pot on warm... TTFN

Lookin' for a decent Model 15 Smith of ya run 'cross one, M2.
Mornin'.
Rained o'ernight. Should give us a badly needed humidity recharge.
Ennyboy wantin' ta come ta duh beach it's safe. Bacteria level in the water's safe now. Swimmin's been prohibited all week but by Friday it was ok. Just in time for the weekend tourist invasion. It's a miracle.
In the various articles published 'bout it, we learned from the pilot (lower case intended) birds crap in the water. All this time I thought they only crapped on clean vehicles.
Don't werry, cuz. Buncha misses Thursday past. At least three P'ed. Thinkin' two others same stage I did. Flatboat had sumore ta give out if folks wanted 'em. Plenty left for the the next WP meetin'. Gotta fresh shipment of both for the get tagether it radar trap otherwise known as Waverly. N'er seen either club run low.
-
Bangers and eggs don't for get the crumpets.
-
Woke up to rain here, forecast says 60% t-storms all day. 20% t-storms tomorrow. Hope the 80% that is not t-storms is over Windy Ridge for the shoot tomorrow.
Arcey, glad to know the water's safe for tourists there. We have the same problems here at Lake of the Ozarks sometimes, say it's too many geese. Couple of summers ago, seems like there was a state park beach closed about every other weekend.
-
Bangers and eggs don't for get the crumpets.
I didn't, had it with butter'n' preserves , I'm stuffed :) no lunch is needed ....
Arcey, they have a M1937 ( S&W Model 1917 for the Brazilian Military & so stamped ) in 45 ACP....
Problem is it's been show piece re-blued ( looks like a S&W factory job ) and has N frame grips...
Not to mention it's consigned way over priced...
For the right price I'd consider it, then restore it with M1917 grips , and shoot it with moons ...but the owner wants twice what I'd pay for it... I made an offer, some weeks ago...and NADA. Perhaps he'll come around... :-\
Mean while, I have my #3 & my Hand-ejector, my New Departure , and my little M36
-
I just put another pot of Cawffee on and some iced tea for later. No plans for breakfast as of yet. We went out to eat last night at our favorite Tex-Mex place. They had .55 cent margaritas and 7 oz Caronas for a Dollar. We had our fill last night, so I went back to bed after I put the Cawffee on.
-
Mornin. Slept in till 08:00 today, still adjusting to the back-to-school schedule & the late night practices.
Never owned a ranger myself, but know of a few that gave good service for a long time. Much better choice than a trans am IMO.
Had some Tex Mex at home last night. Did some burritos smothered in green chili & some tamales. Even had some rice & beans on the side. Believe I could get in trouble on .55 margaritas.
No definate plans for the day other than loadin some shotshells. Dove season's coming up & we've got a better crop of em than I've seen in years. Three different species of em in my yard at the same time yesterday morning.
-
Ain't questionin' the levels, PE, questionin' the timin' of the all-clear. Livin' inna city what wants a choo-choo. Gonna cost a ton. They double trash collection fees over two years then brag they ain't raised taxes.
Shoot Ks better'n Ns when I'm inna rush, M2. Lookin' ta find one ta put inta good shape for racin' rather'n a nice keeper. Want 'nother ta put inta rotation. 2 1/2” 66's turn next.
-
I'll keep an eye out then, they pop-up , sometimes X cop revolvers are seen....
-
Mornin' y'all.
I'll put on another pot, for those who are so inclined.
Agenda for today is to go back out later, and master that stupid clutch... ::) Maybe add some .45's and a squash into the mix.. :D
I'm looking at a Winchester 21 at the local pawn shop. It's a 12ga, and seems to be in good shape, excepting the stock needs refinishing. $160. What y'all think?

Rode Pungo. Nothin' goin' on at the Military Aviation Museum. Had a good crowd tho. Nice ta see that.
Hit the produce stands for some stuff. Found this ole gal it Cullipher Farms:

(http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w332/ArceySASS13901/56chevfb2_zps6f67fac6.jpg)
Body's fairly straight. Left door 'n fender ain't that bad. If someone can get to it 'fore the rust eats through it'll make a nice one. Interior's all there 'n looks original.
-
Arcey, it looks like that is what they use to haul the produce to the stand.
Had the farrier this morning, just relaxing this afternoon.
-
That looks like a 3/4 ton to me, prolly a 55 or 56. J and G Sales had some bull barrel Model 64s with bobbed hammers for sale last week(trade-ins from a security outfit)
-
I'd say if the hammers were bobbed after the trade in... The lawyers wouldn't like the hammers removed.
All the companies 4 i have worked for you were lucky to get 6 rounds. They left the hammers intact.
I see this also the day in 77 elvis got tired of being a celebrity.
-
My wife and I were eating lunch in a Burger King in Grand Prairie when we heard the News.
-
I remember that Day and where I was, though I didn't remember it was Aug. 16th. :-\
I was driving up I-95 to my shop off Hallandale Beach Blvd. and heard the newsflash....
Dang he'd be 79....
Even more :o John Wayne 107 !

--TK
I think you should hav brought it home. Are sure it's a 21? Those are usually pretty pricey.
-
Afternoon y'all
Getting ready to chow down on something or other. Not sure what yet, but I'm ready. ::)
After chow, going to do some more practicing with the truck.
Stu, that tag said a 21. I'm wondering what might be wrong internally, though. It was in the "as is" rack, and the stock isn't too terrible. :-\ I'll be back Monday to check.
--TK
-
Ya think, cuz? Sure would explain the farm use placard........................
Old man hadda '57 he rebuilt 'n sold. Grill's different. I'd guess it's a '56. Whatever it is I wouldn't be usin' it up luggin' produce. But that's just me.
Gotta 64. T'was my NIB issued service revolver. Bought it from the vendor what took 'em in trade when we transitioned to self-shuckers. Shot it in the OFSDAR thing Thursday. Hammer's stock, guts ain't. Ground the serrated face off the trigger 'n polished it. Hogue rubber. Been lookin' for an old four inch pencil barrel 10 or a 15.
-
Brinks Armored used to issue 64's that were double action only, they had bobbed hammers on them,The reasoning was that there was no way to cock the hammer so a lawyer couldn't say that the gun went off accidentally because it was cocked in case of a shooting.I had a 4 inch model 19 that I sent to S&W to covert it to DA only,wish I never sold it.
-
That's a nice looking Chevy. At one time, I've owned/driven all the main body styles from just post WWII up to mid 90s, except that last half of the fifties. Had a 50(GMC), 53,54,64,65,67,2-76,79, and 91. Still got several of them, one of the 76 ones is my farm truck, a few of the others might run again, if I ever get time(and $$$) to do it.
-
The Cawffee is making and the Hot water is heating. They oughta be ready to drink about 0500. It sounds like PE has an old truck graveyard.
-
Thanks for the coffee,TLD ;)
Think maybe that's an oxide field he's got there. ::)
69, cloudy. Radar looks like we're gonna get wet at some point here in a bit. Oh, well, I've got my rain poncho in the truck just in case ::) :P
-
Mornin', y'all.
Supposed ta nudge 90°, mebbe a t-storm later. But it's gettin' better. Days are noticeably shorter. Dark out when I woke up 'n I slept past 0500. 36 days 'til fall.
Bobbed one hammer o'er the years. Way back when. Some the better, more experienced dudes had 'em. Know it's been in the 14 in the PPC days. 14 has a semi-target in it now. Think I had it in sumthin' else. Like Maj, prolly in one I wish I hadn't sold. Still got the hammer inna box of parts. Saw it not long ago when I was lookin' for sumthin' else.
The old truck's hubcaps are all there – no dents in 'em. Don't see that too often with a vehicle pushin' 60 years old. Heck, the l'il gal cross the street has a fairly new Nissan Frontier. Gotta flat weeks ago 'n runnin' the spare. Wheels mismatched on the left side.
-
Seen a model 10 like mine in local gun shop not too long ago. Lady friend has her fathers service Model 10 also and his Beretta he was issued.
Majer i had to escort guys from Brinks a few years ago while they serviced Atm's on cAmpus. One had a revolver Taraus i believe, the other a Springfield Xd. Told me they had to supply their own vest and firearm. Couple of the guys i worked with said the same things. Company now issues G22's or S&W revolver depending on site. We have the G22's only one magazine
Nice cool morning watching the dogs and the hummingbirds play. Going to do some gardening in a little bit. Going to make some phrench toast and bacon first.
-
It sounds like PE has an old truck graveyard.
That pretty much sums it up. Used to be an old truck and old mail delivery car graveyard, but the scrap prices got too high, so most of the cars went away.
Looks like a decent day for cowboy shooting, t-storm chances are fairly low, but might get kind of humid by afternoon.
-
It rained about an hour last night, and started again about 0700. We sure need all we can get. It has cooled things down outside. I am enjoying my first cup of Cawffee and I feel fabulous!
-
Morning y'all.
Well today my sister is 14... this could be getting interesting for a couple of brothers in this household. ;)
I've decided to be a bit adventurous today, as well. I'm gonna try to take the truck across town. Only three stop signs, but...
PE, we've got one of those '76s. It's pretty much impossible to kill it. We let it sit for four years, untouched (except by certain family members who wanted to "borrow" certain components, such as batteries, alternators, freeze plugs, etc.) Then threw some fresh gasoline and some Mystery oil in, cranked the motor and drove home. I did a lot of growing up with that truck involved.
We also have five vehicles in a three car driveway. Looks rather "used car lot" -ish. ::)
Arcey, my '62 Stude has all 4 caps. ::) Only pre-1994 vehicle that does. :P
--TK
-
Hubcaps of the applicable style are important in AACA shows.
The 64, still filthy from Thursday's playtime. The inset shows the smooth trigger.

Best I can come up with is I've had it 37 years. The image is in full color, pards.
Havin' a delicious, nutritious lunch of tuna in water, no fat crackers 'n fake beer.
-
Shame on you for eating Healthy!
-
Doesn't seem right, Arcey talking about food that doesn't involve crock pots or chili dawgs!
-
Yep! It is still too hot around here for the Crock Pot receives.
-
Doesn't seem right, Arcey talking about food that doesn't involve crock pots or chili dawgs!
Or the use of ceramic knifes...........(I need to get me one of them) Mr. Clarence are you feeling okay?
Ate fish taco's night fore- splurged this past night had the pineapple topped burger and sweet fries at Red Robin. Could had made a meal of the fries.
Got some mowing and gardening done yesterday. Suppose to get hot this week will see how much i get done.
It will be early in the morning when i do...
The dogs have enjoyed the cooler air- when gets hot they lay in front of the fans and rest. Or play in there pool
-
The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for drinking this morning. We got some good rain on Sat. And Sun.
-
Mornin', y'all.
More of a chance of t-storms this afternoon. Other'n that it's the same as yestitty.
Am ashamed. Penance was a hunka beef with 'taters 'n mushrooms for dinner. Necessary cuttin' by Kyocera. All done in the l'il red one.
Prolly salad this evenin'.
-
I'm back, will read the news later, but I left the state of Kansas intact and helped thoroughly courpt the intern from Homestead national Monument. He may get actually hired there in a month or two and he said if that happens he will volunteer to come make butter again next year. ;D
-
I fixed some toast for breakfast this morning and Victoria and I had hotdogs for lunch.
-
BLT's for lunch, watching the storms roll in. Horses put up for the evening.
-
Hey y'all.
Today was the first day of school... I'm already quite ready to be done. :-[
'Side's that, t'ain't nothin' worth mentioning...

-
The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for drinking this morning. Enjoy! My hip was hurting and I could not sleep, so I put the Cawffee on.
-
Thank you kindly, I'm stirring around too.... about the same reason, both shoulders are aching, knee is stiff and that's after a few days of PTO ::)
Back to the salt mines, looking like busy will be the bi-word as several big shows on the horizon with 2 of them in Loss VVages. (sic)
-
Mebbe y'all should look inta the dietary supplement Anatabloc. Cures ever'thing.
Mornin', y'all.
See yesterday's weather report, taday's 'bout the same
Butchered some fresh produce for yestitty evenin's meal. More scraps went in the freezer bag for vegetable broth to use in soups when the time comes. It's gettin' closer by the day 'n I'm gettin' ready for a big, steamin' mug or three, full to the brim.
-
Thunder storms the past few hours.. Had some before the days changed last evening also. The dogs don't seem to mind. I am sitting out on the covered part of the deck. Sipping my mornin cup debating if i want to call back into my boss- whom has left 2 messages for me to call.
Still have to take my BP med and vitamins.
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
The fair is over fer another year. The kids did very well. All of them got a grand champion in something.
Still without water. Dad will be working on it today.
4.5" of rain yesterday and over night. :o
'Tis 61 and overcast. "Humid. Mostly cloudy. Isolated showers in the morning... Then scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon. Patchy dense fog reducing visibilities to less than 1/4 mile at times in the morning. Highs in the upper 70s. West wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent."
Slim
-
Congrats to the Kids, Slim. I hope the water situation gets fixed soon. I gotta mow yards today, the grass has really grew since last week. I gotta get out there before the humidity gets any higher.
-
4.5" is a heap big bunch of rain.
Congrats to all the Slimettes and Slimsters
-
Mornin' y'all.
Bad news... I'll be making city trips 5 days a week. :o These college classes that I'm taking (math 102 and Spanish 1), said Mondays and Wednesdays. Went to first class yesterday, and the teacher to one says, "By the way, you all know this is a four-day-a-week class, right?" and the other teacher says, "y'all be ready to have your first quiz on Friday. I know the Syllabus only says Monday and Wednesday, but there are Fridays, too."
That sort of thing should be illegal. >:(
Weather is cooling off around here. last night dipped into the low 40s, high 30s. I quite prefer that, to lows in the 80s. :)
--TK
-
Enjoy this part of your life TK, the work you put in now will pay off later in life. School is also a lot easier than the working world. Get a good education to get a good job and a good retirement.
Muggy, misty kind of day around here, hoping Arcey's Fall will get here sooner than later.
-
TK, You need to spend a summer in Texas to appreciate those low 80s, it cools down to the 80s at night. I got the yards mowed this morning before it got too hot. I am watching a replay of the Skins/Browns game. Go Skins!
-
..............hoping Arcey's Fall will get here sooner than later.
Arcey's hopin' too. Want soup.
Give the offspring a 'Well Done!' from me, Slim.
-
Ditto what Arcey said Slim.
-
My hip is hurting and I got up to take some Advil PM. I am hoping that they will kick in and I can go back to sleep.
-
Mornin', y'all.
Mid eighties 'n sticky. 'Nother day in paradise.
Gonna find sumthin' ta do what don't make much noise. Don't wanna wake Tex up.
-
Gonna make him mad shortly.... Gotta see if i can get the tiller running before it gets warm... Gotta a nice little Bama breeze going right now... Amplified by a fan on the deck... Coffee -feed dogs - refill Hummingbird feeders. Still have a few hanging in here. Then till some want to plant some greens and stuff i only see being used on cooking shows.
Was watching the redemtion chopped last night before i left for work, the ole' cowboy Kent Rollin's i understand got chopped in the final round again. His pocket knife cutting skills are amazing.
I didn't care for the first loser. But the 3 were neck to neck to me.
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks, pards.
We gonna have to have a new well at $6K+. :(
'Tis 58 and sunny with fog in places. High of 80.
Slim
-
The Cawffee is good this morning. Slim, I wish that well did not cost so much. A lot of humidity around here.
-
Hey Tex, maybe you could condense that humidity, and truck it up to Slim. ::)
Mornin' Y'all.
City trips "make like a Hoover with a leak." I dislike them.
Highs supposed to be up in the 90s, sunny, with scattered clouds. Shade will be a precious commodity at the college. :-\

He beat hisownself. Shame, the, uhhhhhhhh...................... female that won it ain't the cook he is. Her (his?) desert almost inedible. Better ta be bloody lucky than good.
Mebbe the win helped her get her girlfriend back.
-
Yep Slim..that's about what one cost me .. + $500.00
Old casing was cracked and it was a 2 " well so it couldn't be lined ....
Claimed they had to cap the old one ( fill with Bentonite & cap with concrete ) @ $500 charge.... I asked why ?
they said Florida Law , " TO KEEP SOMEONE OR SOMETHING FROM FALLING IN " ???
what ??? , who in the hell's gonna fall down a 2" frick'n' well ! .... I said "I'd cap it" to save $500... nope , Law would not let me ...has to be a licensed installer ....
Florida statute for a well digger's licence to steal ::)
-
Sounds like and abuse of the code to me Maj2. You would think that there would be an exemption below a certain size unless frogs are a protected species down there.
Slim, that's tough too bad there isn't a less costly solution.

They have had a few like that on there. Including one who had a gender recognition issue... But Latino women everywhere are proud of his/ her achievement...seems Food Net. Fully endorce the gay agenda. Just cook i don't give a rats peetute about who they sleep with.

SLim, Good luck on finding something cheaper.

The Cawffee and Hot water are ready to drink. It was another night of pain and no sleep. The humidity has really been high since the rain.

" up with the chickens " my own-self.... thanks for the joe... sorry you're hurt'n' Jim...
Doc prescribed some 2 a day Naproxen 500 MG tab for my shoulders some weeks ago.... its essentially 3 times the strength of Aleve OTC.
I've weened myself to just one in the morning, by the afternoon the shoulders have warmed up enough I get by... but stiffen overnight and ache ....

You know the worst thing about getting old is getting Old!

Mornin' fellow infirmary visitors.
Eigh............... Never mind. 32 days 'til fall.
Dermatologist later on. Ain't far from here. That's the best part. Office is right behind a pizza shop. Breeze from the right way makes it even more difficult ta go inta the doc's place. Natural reaction draws one ta the food rather'n the rubbin' alcohol.
Gotta pretty hunk of fish visitin' for evenin' eats. A small tossed salad will prolly join us. Ain't seen an RSVP from a starch yet.
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
'Tis 60 and overcast. "Humid. Periods of thunderstorms. Patchy fog in the morning. Some thunderstorms may produce heavy rainfall. Highs in the upper 70s. Light and variable wind becoming southeast 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 90 percent."

Enjoy the rain, Slim. I wish that we could get some more. The Cawffee is good this morning, some breakfast later. Moose is off to school and Victoria are in where it is cool.

They do have some amazing clean the refridgerator out dishes.
True dat. Ain't seen eye of newt tho.
Ahhh.... The fragrance of xylocaine in the mornin'.
''This'n 'n that'n's nothin' to werry over. We can take the one o'er here off if ya want but it ain't hurtin' nothin' where it is.''
''Now this'n on the nose ain't up ta no good. It's gotta come off there 'n go to the lab. She's gonna stick ya while I go get a knife. Right sure I got one somewhere.''
Oh well. Least ways I feel a l'il vindicated. Weren't in there as a total hypochondriac.
-
Hope they didn't use tha knife they was spreading Peanut Butter with Cuz.
Maj2 hope the Naproxen continues to help.
TLD can't the doctor give you something to help deaden the pain or at least help you sleep?
Slim good luck with the lower cost solution.
Off to the doctor in a couple of hours, my first follow up since the stroke. He'll probably tell me not to eat all the stuff I plan to consume for lunch tomorrow with Arcey, I guess I'll have to half listen to him or I could claim the stroke made me forget his instructions.
-
Roger that ! Arcey..My Doc is right over a NY Deli , the physical therapy gym is permeated with Pastrami , and other wonderful odors.
Thanks LIT, it takes the edge off, tried to go cold turkey this morning, managed to so far....
It not so much the Old Age, Jim....however it is annoying... what is stiff in the morning ain't what used to be STIFF in the Morning !

Rain here, spent most the day yesterday cleaning gear.

See how that works to your advantage...

Since we're sharin'. . .
I'm in the waitin room at the horsepistol in North Platte. Got to have my PET scanned. Bloodwork last week said the ass cancer might be back :-\. Won't get results till next week. I'll let ya'll know when I do.
Dell, I was in class when you called yesterday. You musta been back to work when I tried. Get yer puter back yet?

Think it was the dull butter knife used ta scrape grout in the bathroom, cuz.
That's just plain mean, M2. My appointment was early 'nuff the pizza hole weren't open. Helped a l'il.

I have been taking Advil clear capsules(2) every 4-6 hours. I just hate to go to Dr's office.

Good luck Stu... Like Arcey sed...
Been at work since like 0 dark thirty- i'd kill for a couple of dogs with brown mustard
-
Hot doga are always good, especially with grilled onions. I had some chicken tenders/catfish filets with cole slaw, green beans, and fried okra for supper tonight.
-
I did a Dawg the other day for lunch.... yellow Mustard ( they didn't have brown ) chopped onions & green relish
, dang now I want one again !
I guess if I hold the thought , I'll have one today @ lunch ;D maybe some kraut too :-\
-
It is Arcey's fault if any of our doctors complain about what we eat.
Coffee then back indoors calling for a hundred degrees today

Excellent.
Even hadda cop in there protectin' me 'n Tom........
-
Those dogs look better than what i had in the school lunch room. They served a cheap imitation of McDonald's McRib sandwich. Yup, was as nasty as it sounds. :P Was glad to have the green beans (not at all snappy) & salad bar.
-
Must sell doughnuts there too. ;)
Mornin' Y'all.
Class was cancelled today, due to the teacher being on a 28 hour car trip. Can't say I envy her, but I'm rather glad she's not here. ::)
I am also having a new issue with the truck. Was gonna go across town with it yesterday, got in, started it up, then when I moved my foot from brake to gas, and put it in gear, it up and died. Never let the clutch up, either. It just sputtered and died. Tried again. Same result. Third time, I got it in gear, started back out of the driveway, and it died again. Then I couldn't get it to start. Had to put 'er in neutral and push the ten feet back to where it's parked. It has a quarter tank of gas, fluids are all good. Almost everything under the hood has been replaced within the last six months. Dag-nabbed modern contraption. >:(

My sugar would go ballistic with that lunch,Arcey :o Looked good, though ;)
Been busy the last few. Shortly I'll be the owner of a circa '72 Olds Custom Crafted,model P-12-L trumpet. A Pro grade horn with a large bore, .462, and a silver finish. Kinda a collectors item, but not as valuable as some of their earlier models. Olds closed their doors in 1979 after being bought up by several different holding companies that didn't know squat about the instrument business and ran'em into the ground.
77 and humid here, sun's out. We put in a light post and exterior drain line for the new home in the new section of the park today after doing the regular rounds. That drain is for the water heater,new regs say it has to have a drain line that is out side the homes skirting. Kinda dumb, the home's underneath is going to have water draining under the skirting anyway, so what's the difference? Our goobermint at work again ::) :-\

Hope the pic didn't hurt nuttin', Buck.
My last school cafeteria lunch was memorable.
The senior year at dear Mathew Fontaine Maury High School, city of Norfolk, 1969. ♫ Long will we cherish, long will we honor, our alma mater we'll be true ♫
Fish sandwiches. T'was two fish sticks onna hamburger bun...........................

;D I remember the pizza they used to pass off on us... ::)
a slice of white bread with yellow processed american cheese slice and a 1/2 dollar sized plop of some salsa looking tomato crap
that was PIZZA ::)
YUCK !
-
Victoria and I had some Sonic corn dogs for lunch. Arcey, The dogs looked good and the fries. I noticed the squirt bottle of Texas Pete's.
-
I guess i need to go to wally world and get some dogs...and gluten filled pockets to homd them in.
Buck the Olds sounds fast.
-
I'm hoping,lR ;D
Arcey, I have weeks where just looking at some of that food runs me up. This week has been one of them, unfortunately.Even with the outside work I've been doing. Have dropped over 6 pounds since March though. Almost into 36's for pants. Did have to get a new every day belt, ran out of holes ::) ;D
-
Buck, I used to be that way, Doc finally straightened out my meds now my A1C runs between 5.4 and 5.8 so he doesn't complain anymore.
Doc told me I was lucky the stroke occurred in the cerebellum where there is excess capacity and a lot of redundancy. He did tell me that I also had a small heart attack while I was in the hospital.
Stu, what Arcey said, hope it all turns out to be false readings.
Arcey and I had a fine repast today and solved some of Hampton Roads greater problems. Hope to get together next month and ride the choo choo to nowhere.

At 1700hours

Three thermometer signs in town, 100, 99 and :o 107! The 99 and 107 are right across the street from each other, and the one on the west side of the road is ALWAYS 7-8 degrees hotter. Think one of them needs fixing, hope it's the hotter one. Supposed to be another 100 tomorrow, but at least I won't be out delivering mail in my BLACK blazer in it! Instead, I'll be out on the Harley, riding into the blast furnace.....
-
We had Pizza Hut Pizza for supper tonight. Victoria likes the crusts.Moose had to get her eyes checked and get fitted for new contacts.
-
Tried a new place for dinner this evening, not impressed. Mainly a sandwich place. Wife was in town when I got off work, so groceries and then dinner was in order, however.....The town where I work has for options 1. Various fast food joints. 2. Two Mexican places. 3. three pizza places. 4 a couple of places that are only open breakfast and lunch.
So if you're not in the mood for Pizza, Mexican, or burgers, then it's down the road to the next town you go.

The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for drinking. enjoy!

68 and somewhat foggy here ::)
Had off and on tropical type rain showers in the evening yesterday. Looking at the 80's for today, sun is out ::)
-
Saw 98% yesterday, then a heavy TS with strong winds, some small branches down and raise the pool level about 2" .
Guesser say the same today Chance of rain 40%.
But they claim on Monday a high of 87% :-\
never got the hotdog I was thinking about the other day, but I'll get one today.....
-
Warm and sticky out, about the same as at Arcey's. Got all of the outdoor chores done need to make a store run later and go by and check on the sister in law and her husband, his Dad is in the hospital nd the prognosis isn't good.
Daughter and her husband just signed a lease for a house out this way so the grandkids can go to a better school system. We will have the grandkids with us the first two weeks full time and then before and after school. Liz can use the extra help with the horses but the younger one can tweak a nerve or two. I'll just be glad to see them in a better school system.

Rounded the dogs back up and done whAt gardening going to do... Something ate my bean plants.

Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
... Something ate my bean plants.
Rodents! >:(
The Nu Well works too well. Pumped up sand in the hand pump last night. :(
Going to the company summer outing at a park in the city, Wautoma, at 11 AM.
'Tis 70 and fog. Humidity 96%. "Humid. Mostly cloudy. Isolated showers in the morning... Then isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon. Areas of fog in the morning. Highs in the middle 80s. Light and variable wind becoming east 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon."

I have trouble with the squirrels hitting them when the first spout and getting the spouted seed part.

The squirrels around my house just eat automotive electrical wiring.

Tex- revenge is sweet.....skwirl with gravy is tasty.... Ask Ms. Kay for a recipe...
There are 4 or 5 cats and 4 dogs on the property. Why there is any slwirls or wabbits in the neighborhood is beyond me. Even the raccoon quit coming to steal cat food out of dishes. Come frost wabbits will become a food source.
-
Those squirrels have cost me a bunch of money the last few years. They broke my A/C twice, chewed up the wiring on the Cadillac twice, and chewed up the wiring on my Chevy truck. Needless to say , I hate them. The two times that they messed up my A/C, they got electrocuted.
-
So far, the squirrels here just raid the bird feeders. Along with the deer ::)
-
They raid the Deer? :o :o :o :o

Since we have had cats, squirrels have not been a problem.
Played kick ball at the company outing and pulled a hamstring running the bases. :(

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o :-\

Now I have an excuse to sit on the couch and watch TV. BTW, Adam 12 is on ME-TV.

There are lot of brown rabbits and gray squirrels here on the ranch , the cats keep the squirrels at bay...
I think the juvenile eagle that I saw this morning, will put a dent in my rabbit population.

Mornin'.
Guessers say under eighty with a bit of a breeze.
Recorded hawk calls ain't foolin' the tree rats no more. Bird feeder what snaps shut when they get on it still frustratin' 'em tho.
HK 'n BF been more active 'round the GC. Might ride by on the way to the Farmers Market. Too early for 'em to be werkin' on the nest or a new one. Take a look ennyways.

You probably need some fresh produce anyways...
Mornin' another one here. Might warm here yesterday. Hovered around 100. Back to work at 1400

Went out this morning to put the horses out and do morning chores. Good breeze, little to no humidity and cooler temps almost feels like FALL.

Not my fault that kid went to lunch yesterday and never came back, despite the rumors. ::) Our p###in' match over his stupidity was a month ago. ;)

Mornin' Y'all.
I been busy over the weekend... sort of.
Yesterday, I got up at around 8, came out and ate my Froot Loops, then flicked on Emergency. John looks like my pops when he was 25, just he had a mustache. ::)
Still no idea what's wrong with the truck. I tried to get it to run yesterday, so I could take it to work, but it would only crank. :-\ Though the truck has been named... (Disclaimer: This name was chosen by a third-party female, and in no way reflects the thoughts or opinions of the author.)
it has been dubbed "Cute Truck." :o
the reasoning behind this is, it's the smallest truck that we have, and externally smaller than her father's truck. (we have the '77 Chevy, and '62 Stude. they have an '86(?) Toyota, with really large tires.) Internally, her dad is putting along with a little 4-cylinder Japanese something-or-other, and I'm runnin' with a 4.0L V6. ::) Still, it's shorter than the other.

-
With all my hype, I still didn't get my Chicago Dog yesterday....I was all set primed from Arcey and Jim's posting's
and hot dog craving ... but
A friend called and asked me to lunch, we wound up at Outback , I got the steak tacos' lunch special & shared a blooming onion.
So today, BY gosh I was going to Sonics...and I got my Dog & later, something I haven't had in years, a chocolate shake
The dog was .. ok lowercase intended, Willies over in Kississmee is way better, and worth the 15 mile extra trip !
....but the shake from DQ was heaven :)
Now , a nap is calling me out....
-
74 and humid here. Been up for a while working on laundry and e-mail accounts. AC's goona get kicked in in a while here, a few more degrees inside here and it'll be kicked in ::)
TK, sounds like that truck is gonna be a problem child. Is it getting spark at the plugs? Not sure if they still have a separate control module from the CPU or not ::) :-\
-
Chances are the fire breathing 4.0 (240 c.i.) V6 is European. The same motor as in the same year Mazda pickup. They run in the 150 – 160 HP range when well maintained.
The 2.4 (144 c.i.) inline 4 in her daddy's Tacoma puts out about 100. My '99's 4 was 140. My '01 S-Runner's 3.4 liter (207 c.i.) V-6, 190. It putted around fairly well.
'Course, when their's are runnin' 'n yours ain't, any power at all looks right good.
-
Some fords have a fuel pump cutoff switch that turns off the fuel pump in case of accident. It can be tripped by hitting a hard bump as well. Might want to check thew owners manual to see where it's located and check to see if it's been tripped.
-
I had one of those 4.0 liter V6 in my Mustang. Everything was Metric, so I had Togo to Sears and buy a set of metric wrenches and sockets.

65, broken clouds here. I see lots of time on the mowers today ::)

It's 72 already at 6AM. Don't need a weather guesser to know it's gonna be a hot one today.

Mornin',
Right 'bout like yestitty 'n yestitty was right 'bout nice for an August day in these anxious times of global warmin' climate change climate disruption.
Got some goodies from Alice yestitty. Added bonus ta the trip, CPO selectees was doin' a car wash for their community service stuff. They was right up the street at a strip shoppin' place. Got the station wagon fairly clean.
The rimfire thing announcement is out. Gonna be happenin' it the West Point range on Sept. 3rd if ennyone's interested in a l'il competition. Sounds like a hoot.
The truck should be a great learnin' experience. I'd recommend purchasin' a quality code reader. The instrument will pay for itself as other parts of the 4.0 V6 power plant under the hood fail.
-
Big isolated shower here last evening. Helped cool it down some and raise The humidity some.
Need to wash and sanitize my Jeep. BTW 4eyed i did get a recall notice. For the latest round of recalls.
O'Reilly's NAPA the other will read your codes for free- if you drive it ro them.....got one needs reset every 6 months or so.
Today is my Friday... Weekend starts 2200
-
I hear there is a active shooter situation at Ft. Lee on going.
-
Mornin, thought the cool days might have been over this morning, but the breeze finally kicked in. Chores done, random errands for the rest of the day. Things are not looking well for the father of my BIL, he is in the hospital and has A-Fib, COPD, asbestosis and congestive heart failure. The doctors have given him 2 months to 1 year to live.
-
News reports that the active shooter event has been resolved.
-
We are going to miss the triple digits today. Too hot for the rest of the Cawffee, switching to Lemonade. I had some toast for breakfast. Victoria is napping in the back.
-
The shooter at Ft. Lee is reportedly female. The disembodied voices on the radio say the “soldier” shot herself.
Reckon she may have been havin' a bad hair day what with the new, natural style regulations.
-
Did she shoot others?
Just read she was in custody- some dumb @$$ at ap news stated she was disgruntle. Duh!
-
Ain't heard of other casualties as of yet.
-
I'm here, getting ready for the work yard sale/ tent sale this weekend. ::)
-
Must not be a bloody story. Disembodied voices in the kitchen didn't mention it in the bottom-of-the-hour nor the 1300 hours breaks. Don't think scared stupid because a crazy woman has a gun in your office space qualifies as news. Used ta happen in IA frequently, never any reporters around.
AP reports no one else injured. My sincere thanks to God for that.
Rumor has it as she pointed the weapon at herself she was heard to say, 'Don't laugh, you're next.”

Made sketti , last night , had the leftovers for my lunch here at work..put in for a PTO day Friday

Happy Birth day Camille.

Victoria and I had potted meat, cheese, and crackers for lunch. Supper is in question at this time. We had take-out grilled chicken salads for supper last night.
-
small salad , New York strip & sweet potato oven fries, and some garlic knots was supper ....
Pretty good day, shoulder not hurting to bad, :-\
-
The steak sounds good. I need to get a new propane bottle for my grill this weekend.
-
Grilled some Pork chops and boiled some small potatoes with a glass of Apple juice, was real tasty,

When it rains it pours.... :-\
Yesterday, at approximately 3:30pm, some dude with the wrong size trailer pin was driving up Oregon mountain on highway 299, when suddenly the trailer falls off. The sparks from this started a fire that grew to 2 acres in under ten minutes. By 7pm it was up to 200. by 9pm, 650 acres. at 8:30, we were under mandatory evacuation. It's 98% contained right now, with three bucket choppers on stand by, along with DC-9 and DC-10 super-tankers.
On the bright side, I got the truck working...
I've been reading, and I've found that the two things that can make it do this to this truck are the distributor and the fuel pump thingy. So I was out there with a voltmeter looking for a short or something in the system, but I didn't find anything. In frustration, I kicked the cab real real hard. Later, my dad came out to move the truck so we could get the SUV out. It roared to life, and we drove it yesterday and today without a problem. The ole' boot fixed it again. ::)
Today, I was sent to the city alone for the first time. Nerve-racking... On the way back, I took a back road. It was quite a bit rougher than I remembered from last year. Longer too. But, it was fun. ;)

The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for the early risers this morning. I took 2 Advil gel caps for my hip while I was up making Cawffee. I'm letting them kick in before I go back to bed.

Temps creepin' back up. Been a pretty couple days tho. Ain't as much left as there has been.
Just a hunch, M2, ain't thinkin' blonde. Natural ennyways.

Fella at the counter next ta me was gettin' 'im a Rock Island '11 pattern pistol. $559.99 'On Sale' tag tied to it. Didn't think them things was that much.

I gave $300. for my Rock Island. I love that red 65 GTO. I am a Pontiac guy. I want a red 66 ragtop with white interior and the tri-power setup.

Classic GTO!
I love the cars style of that time period, with power "muscle" or not!

I had a 66 Gran Prix, an 86 Gran Prix, and a 91 Gran Prix.

+ 1 on the 65..note the rectangle grill inserts....
My Dad had the 64 389 Automatic but it was sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet....

Muscles finest
The Rock islands got popular and tge prices have soared some. I only paid a bit more for my speingfield.
-
I paid $425 for my RIA.
City was...the city, I guess. It was hot, humid and kind of boring. Plus, on the way back, I was stuck behind a Subaru that, on the strait places (and passing lanes, consequently) was going 65, and on the corners 30. This was for 38 miles. Blood pressure was a little high for that 45 minutes. ::)
--TK
-
The 66 Gran Prix was another one that I still had. I love those old Pontiacs. I have an old friend that has a 67 Bonneville rag top with white interior and the alloy wheels. It is mostly original. His brother found it and bought and brought it back to the Panhandle. My friend had a red 67 Catalina ragtop that got totaled by a combine during wheat harvest. He kept the Catalina as a parts car.

Mornin', y'all.
Heck with the weather, it's a great day! Ring the bell, school's in session! Toilet seats are up 'til 1500 hours! No game shows, soap operas, recorded prime time dramas, celebrity contests ner reality shows runnin' incessantly throughout the lower levels of the house.
N'er was much on GM stuff. Had a few but no Pontiacs. Like our beloved past president 'n great democrat, Jimmy Caw-tah once said, 'I lusted after 'em in my heart,' but I was Ford oriented. Wanted a GT 350........................

1967 that was my Senior year ....
my short list for a car was . a Mustang 302 ( think Bullitt ) , The Goat , an AMX 390 ( the 2 seater) , in that order
I never got any of them :'( course my dream car was the AC Cobra 427 ..needless to say ...NOPE !
I did club race various British sport cars ( MG, Healey's & Triumphs Spit's & TR6 , and a few Jap jobs too ( Datsun 2000 & Z & Mazda ).... but Muscle Cars of the era eluded my ownership :(
-
I had my share of Fords too. I had a white 63 1/2 Falcon Sprint and a 64 Galaxie Fastback. I only owned 1 Mustang(Mach 1) with 4 speed.
-
I see an old Goat like that now and then, I have an instinct to line up on the rear bumper and push. Love the scene in Apollo 13 where the Vette is dead at the light. ;D
-
Had a girlfriend in high school who drove a '69 Goat with a duel gate shifter. It was a rag-top & more fun than she was. I had a '69 Chevelle, was at it's fastest with a Pontiac 429 out of an old Bonneville. Traded it for a '70 Chevy shortbox pick-up & haven't had much use for a car since.
http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_details.php?detail=147
This auction is coming up in a couple weeks. Been driving past Bullock's twice a day for years. Finally stopped last week when they had a '63 Impala SS convertable sitting out front. Nobody was home so all I could do was look & wish, then I saw the sale bill. I'll be there to watch it sell.
Got the PET scan results back :-\ Got three spots in my liver, one next to my tailbone where it all started, & one in my left lung. Not surprised, but a little disappointed. Was getting used to living without the poison. Won't see the oncologist till Monday after the auction, so don't know yet what the treatment schedule will be.

I owned a 67 Mustang with a 302, And a 70 &1/2 Z-28 with the LT-1 350 , couldn't keep a transmission in the Mustang and the Z-28 burned up.That was it for muscle cars until I got the Magnum R/T this year.

Stu you will whip it's ass brother.
Funny them old cars. Plenty of restoration and custom shops ip and down Rt11 here. I went and fed the spiders in my PO box. Guy pulled in next to me- whT look to be a old mersedes coupe.

Mornin'.
Gonna be toasty out. L'il chance of rain. The guns'll make noise in it.
The 5.0 convertible I went middle age crazy 'n bought was my last. The l'il black one wasn't all that far from it performance wise. If I'd have sprung for the supercharger it'd been faster but all that was another time.
Have gotten the pang for something reasonable 'n sporty with a top that drops now 'n again. Kinda every time I see a Spyder with a for sale sign on it. I dig out an old insurance bill on the Mustang 'n get out the mood. That's akin ta takin' a cold shower when ya see sumthin' else ya want but yer better off doin' without.

Lol i have had more cold showers.
Anothet cool start to the day. The magic button on my phone says 93 for high.
M2 ned kelly wasn't mick jager in that also? It never looked like one i'd like, but i have watch other bad cinema.

There's good cinema?
There's good shooters. I, apparently, ain't one of 'em. Stages weren't hard but no one shot clean. The ole boy what wrote it got a procedural. Don't remember the last time I had five misses on six stages. If either of 'em hadda been hits I'd finished a position higher. Missed that by 2.27 seconds. That's a bite. Heck of a lot of fun tho. Fine folks ta spend the mornin' with.
East bound on 460 one of 'em hit the brakes right quick 'n pulled onta the shoulder with the international parkin' permits flashin'. Whoaed up the station wagon. Turnt it 'round in the BBQ hole's parkin' lot. He's still sittin' there. Got back to 'im 'n whilst I was waitin' for a break in the traffic he drove off. Don't know what all that was about. The car ain't the sort given ta breakin' down.
All the Remington primers went off. One I hadda hit twice, coulda well been my missed position. Be glad when they're gone. Less than 3,000 left.
Had cloud cover some of the time 'n a l'il breeze now 'n then. Warm, but a good day ta get August behind us. September could be good or bad. Then again, it could rain out. On ta the rim fire thing next week. If it don't rain.
Did left over ravioli 'n a small salad. Ready ta crap out now. Been a long day.

Well, the big truck crapped out yesterday. Was doing my park check and when I went to turn into the last street to get home, it gave a big lurch and then just crawled up the hill. No big jump in revs, just didn't want to go normal. Let it set for about half an hour, then the Boss came up and we took it for a spin. Seemed to work right, but had a light on in the dash. Boss decided to get it up to the Chevy dealership for a check. Got the word today, tranny module is bad. Gotta order the part and then drop the tranny to get it in......$1500 in repairs. The beast works great most of the time, but this is the second electrical contol failure this summer. I'll be doing my rounds in the car all weekend, might be ready by Tuesday. Not a big fan of GM's electronics at the moment ::) :-\

Rained from about 20:00 till after midnight. Weather man on the national news said the storm was over Del's house by breakfast time. Had 1.80" in the gauge this morning, puddles & a muddy drive to town. Also had idiot lights on in the dash most of the drive. Same lights were on over a year ago had in the shop three times 'fore they found the mouse chewed wires. I hate mice.
Gotta love these school teacher hours. Been on the road by 06:30 all week & not home till almost 22:00 every night till this one. Trying to come up with a plan for the holiday weekend. Only thing set in stone is the killin' of some tasty little birds on Monday.

Buenos Tardes, y'all. I'll stir up the coals and reheat some coffee for the night watch.
Last City trip until Saturday. I've got a four day weekend comin' here, and I intend to enjoy every minute of it. ::)
Weather has been in the 90's for highs, and mid 50s for lows, and sunny. Supposed to stay that way for another few weeks.
Nothing of interest is really happening here. Ate out at Carl's Jr. today... and regretted it. Fast food does not like my digestive system...and I ate a lot of it today. ::)
Saw a really nice IROC-Z at the college today. Canary yellow, with two racing stripes. Woulda pounced for it if I had the $2700 he was asking. ::)

Teenie Bopper heart throbs, the both of them, is why , Batman (Ledger) course I don't think The Patriot hurt him either
( then though it was maybe the Gibson draw that Ledger road in on )
or Lord of the Rings (Bloom) fans might be the reason others follow them.... course Ledger doped himself to death.
With exception of perhaps Wahlberg , I'm not impressed in rockers or rapper transition to acting.

Time for another pot and some hot water? I'll start on it. ;)
55 and sun here, looking for the 80's today. Keys to the kingdom later this afternoon, but minus the beast of a truck.

Bloom also in the Pirate triliogies- ledger doping himself made his movie sales sore. Poor Heath- believe me i loved Robin's comedy but he pissed me off no more money from me. Heath wasn't that good of actor. Not sure Bloom ever has.

I've seen The Patriot a few times, but never saw Batman all the way through . I had to check IMDB to see which title Ledger was in ( Dark Knight )
I did enjoy the Lord trilogy, not for Bloom, but for the fantasy & scenery, no fan of Elijah Wood either....
I didn't buy it for the likes of those two...more for the fantasy of Ned Kelly ....only $9 :-\
Too few westerns eastern ? then I suppose being done anymore....
-
M2 is right, "Lord of the Rings" made Orlando Bloom's career and others such as it is. I haven't really seen any of his work since but it doesn't seem to be stellar.
Arcey, do you have black socks to go with that outfit so you can blend in with the tourists at Duh Beach?
Those fast sporty looking cars are nice and fun when you are young but they are all Police magnets.
-
Police magnets ;D.
I heard the talking heads say The sons of guns (refrain from saying star) Will Hayden was arrested again. Lets say if he is guilty i hope they string him up by his gonads.
-
What'd that jack@ss get arrested for? I wouldn't think it would take much to lose a class 3 manufacture's license.

Guess the boy didn't read my cold showers thing. If he did he didn't take it seriously 'nuff.........................
Must be GTO week round here. Went to an off site I don't usually grace with my presence but it was convenient to where I was doin' errands. A '68 come rumblin' along the parcel pick up. The reddish orange GM paint of the period. Rubber bumper they made TV commercials for. Wheels and tires were proper. Had Virginia antique tags on it but she wasn't all as she were. The idle gave an aftermarket cam away.
On that note, the advanced engineerin' of today can turn out some serious horse power o'er the push rod things of yesterday. But, they're never gonna match the sound generated by the old stuff. Absolutely beautiful to an old man.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get the hi-tech $17.00 cell phone out the fanny pack in time to grab an image.

alleged rape of a minor, second time ! 1st. the Mother accused him , he was out on bail , then the 12 year old said he did it.
Guilty or not.... he's Toast ! show is canceled

One the nice things about bein' an almost 63 year old dirty ole man. 50 year olds are hot lookin' babes ta me. Younger'n that 'n they look like my daughters......... 'n grand daughters for that matter...............................
-
I feel the same way as Arcey on the women.
-
Moose is bringing some grilled chicken salads home for supper tonight. Too hot to cook. The weather folks said that we had a 50 percent chance of rain today, they lied.
-

Can't think of many body jobs worse than hangin' one of them rubber GTO bumpers/grills. Who ever designed it ought to have been drawn and quartered.

Yep I have to agree!
Hope they hang the dirtbag, celebrity or not.

Not much of a celebrity. I haven't watched tha show since the first season. Would kinda like to see what the build, but not enough to listen to that pompous ass spout of at the lip.

I had the same opinion the first year about him
the last time i watched looks as if his licsence was in jepordy.
-
The grilled chicken salads were good. The rain did not come as reported, maybe tomorrow. I can't go to sleep. It seems that I can only sleep during the day.
-
Hey y'all.
I'll stir up the coals again.
Had steak and beans for dinner, and about to chow on some root beer float.
Be going to the city tomorrow for the ever-favorite car shopping. Mother wants a truck, pops wants an SUV. I want a diesel truck, and the other two don't care, so long as there's enough room on long rides. :-\ Problem is, all of us are rather stubborn. t'will be interesting.
On that note, here's a joke I came up with real late the other night.
"Why do car salesmen always have good luck with the ladies?"
"Because they have the best pick-up lines in town!" ::)
I'll see my self to bed now.

Salad Bar & a BBQ Brisket sandwich at lunch, pretty much did my day yesterday...
We got the rain you missed out on , got about 3-4 hours of a good steady soaking.
-
Water and coffee's on ;)
66, spotty clouds. Looking at upper 80's for today.
Concert at the fair later today. Figures, we're gonna roast. :o
Dealership surprised us and managed to get the beast fixed by yesterday afternoon. Part must've come in sooner than they thought ::)
-
Short night- back at it this am.
Rain is probable today.
-
Mornin', y'all.
'Bout like yestitty out. Guessers say a l'il warmer. 23 days 'til fall.
Always wondered why they stuck that nose on 'em, Del. GM didn't treat the front ends of the other high end, mid-size offerings of the time like that. Sales gimmick/experiment I suppose
Take out from the Roadhouse yesterevenin'. Had their version of pulled pork BBQ. Good, but Frankie's is more to my likin'. Smoked From Above is more ta my likin' than Frankie's. Kinda figgers. The Roadhouse is in the 'hood. The ride's all residential roads, no lights. Frankie's is a couple miles 'n two stop lights away. SFA is 'bout five miles out with ten gazillion friggin' stop lights twix here 'n there.
'Course mine is more ta my likin' than either of 'em but I didn't have the pork or the time. 'N I didn't have any sauce from the shop I like. Where's the shop? Across the parkin' lot from SFA......
Doin' fish this evenin'.

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. We need to give TK a rim shot for that terrible joke. Las Vegas is not in his future for now. It is still dark outside, but still hot.
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
Gonna put in the new sand point today.
'Tis 67 and overcast. Rained overnight. "Humid. Cloudy. Showers and isolated thunderstorms in the morning...then scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the middle 70s. West wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 80 percent."

Friend called me yesterday .... I was take'n' a nap....
So he asked me "... Do you urinate red coke ? :o
Me: ??? WHAT ? Do I urinate red coke ?
What he said was , "when you grill , do you marinate ribs in coke ? " ::)
OH ! much laughter .... amazing what you THINK you hear !
No.... but I've Crock potted ribs in coke ..... so we straighten that out ;D
Thanks for the coffee...Buck
Guessers say , 93° & 50% chance of rain .

You need to get your friend a dictionary, M2.

Happy International Bacon Day!
Made a plateful this morning just to celebrate.
Gotta go help the daughter move her horse to a new barn, at least it will save her around $100 a month.
They will be moving out this way soon, renting a house about 5 miles south of us, a little further and they would be in NC.
-
Thanks for the heads up. Didn't realize it was a holiday. Going to the kitchen to celebrate.
-
Holiday dually noted
-
A day without Bacon, is a day without sunshine!
-
I am pretty sure that was orange juice. But never liked it anyways. I do love some Bacon though... :)
-
A day without Tabasco is a day without sunshine!
-
A day without Tabasco is a day without a tummy ache! :P

Just got home. Tried a new Mexican place in Ogallala for lunch. The Wife loved it. I thought it screamed out for some tabasco. The food all tasted ok, a really good tamale, but I like my Mexican food to bite me back a little.
Celebrated the holiday with a pound of bacon & some pancakes & eggs sunny side up.
Updated my license to kill. Small game & birds at least. Still need to get a HIP number & I'll be ready for them little migratory morsels.
Got some goose hunting in my future if I'm still up to it when the season opens. An old friend has built a new blind in a good spot. It's got room for the two of us, a kitchen and a bed to take turns napping while the other watches for birds. Had the same setup at a blind we hunted in years ago, but he sold the place & the blind went with it.

LIT,
I like a hot or spicy sauces.
Tabasco is not one of them. It is ok on occasion, but not what I prefer.
My best,
Blair

Texas Pete® sauces are all about FLAVOR, not BURN!
Made in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA.
-
I like them both . Also Jalisco's green hot sauce.
-
One of my favorites is a cheap one called "the original" Louisiana hot sauce. Tastes like its made from the same peppers as Tabasco, but not nearly as much burn. Can get a lot of flavor without any pain.
Was just spinnin the TV dial & see that the team from Del's local college is giving some boys from Florida some football lessons. Was 31-7 in the second quarter. Don't really care myself & I'm sure Del ain't watching, but figure there's some sports fans here that might want to know.
-
Well, I guess I unknowingly celebrated the holiday this morning, and will continue the celebration a bit later with some green beans("snaps" for Arcey) cooked with bacon and taters.
-
I like Original Louisiana hot sauce & Texas Pete...both are mild and usually what you'll find on restaurant tables,
Texas Pete registers 747 Heat Units on the Scoville scale
Tabasco lists 2,500 - 5,000 Heat Units
Tabasco is great in New England Clam Chowder.
-
Depends on where you are I guess. Around these parts Tabasco is as common as ketchup on restaurant tables. Never seen Texas Pete's & only remember original Louisiana at one place. Liked it there & it became my new favorite at home.
-
Thankee, PE.
Fat lady won't have tuna in oil. In water I don't care for it. Dump in some Texas Pete, mix it up a l'il 'n there's some flavor in it.
Fish was right nice. Had hers with brown rice 'n sweet 'tater fries. I used horseradish sauce on it, did grits 'n a salad. Shouldn't need the race ta lull me ta sleep.
-
The Nationwide race has started and Chase Elliott has led all the laps, Harvick has moved into second.
-
Oh goodness what a day.
We left for the city at about 8 this morning, got there about 11. Stopped at the first car lot, got out and was a met by a salesman not all together unlike Odo from Star Trek DS9. ::) Looked around, and finally found one worth looking at. It's an '05 Subaru Outback. 2.5 flat 4 with a turbo and 5-speed. It kind of zips around over the hills. ::)

Home thing is fixed, busy day at work. They hired a kid this week that worked for us last fall, winter and spring then went home for the summer. He worked with me a few times and now he's all mine, good kid, fair with hats, at least he wears them, name is Eddy.
-
Try not to run him off, you mean old man!
-
I was either up too late or up too early. I definetly ate too much yesterday.
-
Try not to run him off, you mean old man!
Won't this one, he ain't the type to whine and run, Eddy is Special, even have a nickname for him along that line.
-
Morning y'all.
Coffee is hot.
Got a hole dug. The sand point and and 21' of 2" pipe are in the ground. Water is in the pipe. Need to punch a hole in the basement rock wall to connect the well pipe to the pump.

Ride out 'n look for vegetables ta butcher inna while.

I put on the Cawffee and Hot water this morning. Moose is watering plants in the back yard. Victoria is lying at my feet. life is good.
-
You can get water reliably with only 21' up there? Can't do that here, unless you drill into an underground stream, and I wouldn't trust them around here anymore. My well is an old one, has 180 feet of pipe. I think they tend to go at least double that now.
-
The well on my place sucked air during a long drought several years ago. Had to go to 495 feet. Was glad to be renting from someone with a fatter wallet than mine.
Hey Del, do you call him "Sped" for short?
-
The Cawffee is especially good this morning.
-
Mornin, morning chores all done before it got too hot and humid. Need to do some testing I think my wireless router has gone bad, also need to call the cable company Internet keeps slowing to a crawl and then shuts down.
-
The skies are over cast today small percent chance of rain till tuesday. Garden watering is not needed today from the rain yesterday. Need to build a rabbit trap to protect the garden.

Reminds me, I rented a place years ago that had a shallow well, I think 20-30 feet. It sucked air all the time, had to have a special valve on the pressure tank to regulate the amount of air that stayed in the tank. Didn't use the modern "bladder" type pressure tank.
-
We have a well in the back yard. You can't drink the water, but you can water the yards with it.

The top of the pipe is 6' below ground level and the sand point is 3' long. So it is 30' down. But, the water is less than 10' from the top of the pipe. We are in the low lands. But there is a hill to the east of the property that is taller that our two story house. We live about 100 yards north of the Silver Creek, which is spring feed, so there are springs flowing underground all over here. Some people call Waushara County Wash-a-sand County.

Hey y'all.
Only 360 PE? A friend of ours had to drill a well... 800 feet down. :o They still only got around 2.5 gpm. This year it dried up completely. Fortunately, they sold it last year to a person "for agricultural development." 5 southern exposure acres "all for their personal use." ::)
I am enjoying this turbo car. We took it out on a nice little road (Trinity Dam Boulevard, for those who may know) today. It took those hills and corners quite well. Took it on a dirt road a ways, too. Not quite our old car, (or my truck), but it did okay.
Tomorrow I hope to go fishing out on Lewiston lake tomorrow. The fish were jumping great tonight.
