Moining all. Coffee and ph00 are on. Dragon is docile this morning. Must be the heat.

Crazy weather. Been raining since 3:30, and it's 77° at sunrise.

Mexstan

Hey - thanks for the coffee. Who is bringing the food?

Good morning from Paradise. We have had some lovely weather this last week even tho it has been a tad unusually warm. Even had a bit more rain than normal too, but as that normally occurs early evening and late at night, it has not bothered me.

Here is something for your morning amusement;

Puns for Educated Minds ...

1.The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.

2.I thought I saw an eye-doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.

3.She was only a whisky-maker, but he loved her still.

4.A rubber-band pistol was confiscated from an algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption.

5.No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.

6.A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.

7.A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.

8.Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.

9.A hole has been found in the nudist-camp wall..
The police are looking into it.

10.Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

11.Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

12.Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway.
One hat said to the other: 'You stay here; I'll go on a head.'

13.I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.

14.A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab centre said:
'Keep off the Grass.'

15.The midget fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large.

16.The soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran.

17.A backward poet writes inverse.

18.In a democracy it's your vote that counts.
In feudalism it's your count that votes.

19.When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion.

20.If you jumped off the bridge in Paris, you'd be in Seine.

21.A vulture carrying two dead raccoons boards an airplane.
The stewardess looks at him and says,
'I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.'

22.Two fish swim into a concrete wall.
One turns to the other and says, 'Dam!'

23.Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

24.Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my electron.'
The other says, 'Are you sure?'
The first replies, 'Yes, I'm positive.'

25.Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root-canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

26.There was the person who sent ten puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh.
No pun in ten did.

Still cool out so washed the car. Stopped by for breakfast and I find empty plates and the dragon shaking with what sounds like laughter???

Oh well, since I had to cook, fresh fruit, hotcakes, boysenberry and chokecherry syrup, and chocolate milk in the fridge.

50 and windy here.

Some one is holding too many clocks.

This place appears to be getting deader and deader.

Anybody know anything about this and what it could mean for the future of the Dodge trucks;

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles boss Sergio Marchionne said on Sunday a tie-up with General Motors was a "high priority" for the company and a merger between the two carmakers was also the best strategic option for its U.S. rival.

Scotty

I heard that the RAM name was in place for the trucks instead of Dodge in order to sell or merge just the RAM line of vehicles/trucks.

Time's are changing Stanada, this isn't the place it once was because of those changes.

It's not a site I visit as often because of my own personal schedule and changes on top of the site's direction.

Decided i needed to fix the fire bed on the grill. I still use charcoal, preferring it. The old sheetmetal bed is rotting out. I had a full sheet of expanded metal nailed to the wall of the shed. Of course, had to move most everything to get to it. Dang, it's galvanized...So, didn't get the metal fixed, but the shop is sure neater and clean!

Anybody know why i kept about 30 coffee cans? Me neither! Off to recycling they go!

Been trying to clean up the orchard. We have a big crop of non-sprayed apples. I haven't seen a worm yet. Secret is between DW, me, and the deer we keep the windfall cleaned up. Grass got away from us this rainy summer, and none of us can find them. Trees are drooping with apples so I have to go at it with a push mower. Gets sorta sloppy when I find a batch of rotten apples with it.

One day at church about this time of year, one of my young children was asked when school starts. She replied, "The day after mama has the baby."

That was her understanding of "The day after Labor Day."

This place is like a Ghost town. I can't remember the last time I posted. I also can't believe that the site has been up for 14 years.... I hope you all are well.

Mexstan

Good morning from Paradise. It's going to be another gorgeous day day here.

Anybody recognise the stranger that signed in? Jack, welcome back to the ghost town.

Hot chili flavoured coffee and pumpkin ph00 is ready. Just wanted to be different, so invented the flavour. If you don't like it, too bad, make your own.

Got to be on the road soon because Monday's are my full days at the orphanage. As usual, there is too much to do. If anybody wants a "working" (unpaid) vacation, come on down, because we can use everybody, even if it just for a few days.

Adios for now.

With some recent changes, I can't let my phone browser accept cookies while I come here or it locks up the browser.
The reviews on the app aren't so hot, either.
And I don't fire up the computer so much anymore.

Local Brewery/pizza shop came up with Pumpkin Rumchata, it's pretty good, tastes like pumpkin instead of nutmeg, which seems to be what most places think pumpkin tastes like.

The amigo has had a misfire for a few weeks. Went to town to see about using a compression tester, bought one at O'Reilly's, and the thing ran perfect on the way home. Isuzu guys think stuck injector, too much fuel for fire, dumped in a couple cans of seafoam and a little 2-stroke oil for lube, and it's doing pretty good now. Even with a pretty heavy headwind riding over to Imperial yesterday my fuel mileage came up from the last time I checked it.

Still thinking of going up to Gering for the fall show at the Farm and Ranch Museum. Even though that Sunday is supposed to be (a couple weeks out) 62 and raining there. Thought about going to Cheyenne instead. Got to looking, mainly for elevation change, about 3,000 feet above North Platte, where I'd pick up the interstate, but there's also 60,000 people there. Didn't think Cheyenne looked that big, even on the map.
With the big hill just east of Laramie, I thought it would be at a lower elevation than Cheyenne. Nope. 50 miles between them, the first 40 miles climb high enough that Laramie is still about 1200 feet higher.
If it wasn't so hot Saturday (and I had known for sure I wasn't working today) I probably would have taken off this weekend instead of waiting til the show weekend.

Not sure if I want to go to North Platte and get chinabuffet for lunch and go to the railyard or museum, or go to Kearney for lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings and come home. Don't feel like sitting at home all day again.

Another cold and drizzly morning up North. Winter is coming. Our house in East central went back on the market this weekend. Already had a number of views and a couple saves. With the economy sliding and the state twisting the knife, we may be moving out again.

NE-I was supposed to be in Casper this week and next, kinda wish I was after reading your post. Work got in the way and I had to cancel. Mom is truly ticked off since her new porch is going to have to wait. I haven't been up that way in about 8 years. I was looking forward to it.

No rain foretasted until "maybe" mid week. Grass is brown and seedy, temps staying 90's. Guess it can wait.
