Evening everyone.
Got home late, had a dr's appt after work today that took forever. Got a check up and to talk to the dr about a pain i've been having in my right side. They set me up with a chest x-ray, kidney ultrasound, and some blood work. Gotta go for the tests next week after work. Not really looking forward to it since I hate going to the dr or hospital.
I got a new item in the mail today. I ordered a Lee Classic Loader from Cabelas the other night. It's the most basic way of reloading spent rounds. This is my first time relaoding my own ammo, I figured i'll start off simple and then get a nice relaoding press when I start shooting more often and get the hang of reloading my own rounds.
Relaxing now.

I've always wondered why it's termed 'TAKING' a leak. We aren't taking anything from anywhere or anybody. We're GIVING something. Granted, it isn't anything that anyone would want. Well, except maybe for Cincy. While 'take a leak' is in print only from 1918 onward, the term 'leak' meaning 'to urinate' goes back to at least Shakespeare. "We leake in your Chimney." Henry VI, 1596.
A more appropriate term might be 'LEAVING' a leak. Or to the more earthy people, 'leaving a calling card'. Or perhaps 'I'm going to make my bladder gladder'. A few others to consider; 'syphon the python', 'point percy at the porcelain' and 'trace terrance on the terra cotta'. A little limited in applicability, but variations on this are sometimes seen above the urinals (and sometimes heard) where guys are working on airplanes: "Aircraft with short pitot tubes and/or low manifold pressure, please taxi up close and don't sump on the floor. Not all pilots operating here are seaplane rated."
I'd love to continue this discussion, but I've got to go 'spend a penny'. I feel drained by this entire conversation.

Cool.......I think.
weird day yesterday, scuba place from the city called us (rescue divers) to locate an item in a pond. (but my dive team pager did not go off?) It was in a small city to our South, nice guy who- lost his dentures in the pond. after I got all my jokes out of the way, hubby went in and found them in about 15 minutes, total silt out. we could not make this up. guy was great, some stuff going on in his life that is all good in the next few days.. we got some bucks for the effort and gave him change (wink). no need to get rich for having fun.
he was truly a good guy and very much appreciated this. so no concert but the good samaritan stuff continues..
busy day, everything happened at once but I kept my cool. all good!
hubby says THANKS to all who provided some insight on the grader concept application for the super lawn. LOL
off to do a tractor tune up for a neighbor...

No jets when I was there.
I was busy pondering peas.
I am not allowed to get their magazine.
Just a quick fly by to see how the nuts were doing.

Not too good. I got one hung up in the ace wrap for my knee tonight right before church.
Evenin, my friends. You know who you are.
Went to church, had a great time, but one of the Assoc pastors wives grandmother died tonight, she got the call toward the end of the sermon. We're pretty close to them, so we feel sad for them. We're all ok, tho, that's one of the awesome things about being a Christian, you don't have to be scared of death.
Gonna browse a little more, and hit the rack.
