Wow, either you're a lot better at deciphering 'Claude-speak' than I am, or you got real lucky! 'Het dud ya feek' almost sounds like something that should be censored.

Evening all.

chaikwa.

 

Yea don't come here and expect to buy cheap fresh fish of any kind...we pay the same for crab legs as they do down there...

 

Yea > Beth Told Me That They Are Actully Cheaper Down Here Because The Ones Up There Are Fresh And Better Quality !
As Far As Fish Goes We Use To Be Able To Buy Fresh Fish Down Here >
Any More Its Just Not Available > Not Sure Where Its Going But Its Not Here !

It got to 37 here today and is supposed to get to lower 40's Tuesday. I hate it!!! It does this every few years (over the last 55 that I know of) so its not GW,,, its just irritating. Give me snow or give me rain but don’t give me slush!!!

 

Early morning all.

Jake's going for another TV appearance today so I got to be up early to do his hair and make up!

Rise and shine boys and girls. If I gotta be up, YOU'RE gonna be up!

Mornin' y'all. Boy, is it ever quiet here today. Is everyone buried under a load of snow?
Been up for a couple of hours and keeping an eye on DTR and it seems like Chaikwa is the only other person to have fallen out of bed.
Nice day here, another brilliant blue, cloudless day, but oh boy, is it cold. Right now it is 41 degrees F and that has forced me to wear a sweater with my shorts and flip flops. Hopefully with the nice sun I feel, it will quickly warm up another 20 or 30 degrees.

 

Mornin' All! or at least stan who seems to be the only one here.

Not even a pot of coffee on the burner...... Very sad.

Well, I'll light a fire and burn a fresh pot of Santa's Special blend. See if anyone gets attracted by the scent.

Up to +2* today. Not quite the 20-30* forcasted but it ain't to bad.

Finished fixing the truck last night. Now maybe it won't lock up the rear end anymore in the cold. RR wheel locked at -25* makes it a PITA to drive. Looks like I need a cable on the driver's side as well but that will wait. As will the posi clutches, rear main, vacuum pump seal, front cover................ you know, all the fun of owning an older beast.

Got to go grocery shopping today and perhaps get a hair cut as well. We're gonna celebrate Christmas tomorrow cause I have to work and my oldest will be at her mother's house. Mama is making a ham for Christmas dinner at Grandpa's place. Got to go keep him in good spirits. This is probably gonna be a rough one for him. First one without Grandma.....

Hopefully I can shake this sinus cold soon. No fun being sick on a holiday. My youngest is also fighting it as well. 5yo little girls are so pitifully cute when they are sick. Wish I could make her feel better.....

Have a good one. I'll swing in later.

 

Howdy.
Just got back from the airport.
Dropped Wifey, daughter, and SIL off on the first leg of their trip to Peru for the next two weeks.
Wifey's gonna visit her folks, daughter is taking her hubby on a sightseeing tour of the country.

"Bachin" it for for awhile...........just me, two dogs, and two cockatiels.
NOW I gotta start eating me OWN cooking..........

 

Hey Stan, sounds like you are in Sarasota. I just checked the lanai and it is 46 out there - - tad nippy. Heading for 74 today and 80 tomorry. More like it. Poor Marc up there freezing his tail off - - too cold. Love it there in the summer though.

I see the maid DID NOT PUT ON THE COFFEE THIS MORNING. So, I am doing it. Ph00, coffee, hot water with a sock in it for Claude (found a really stinky one, you old goat). Left a fresh homemade loaf of banana bread on the counter - - think it is safe - - the dragon was sleeping.

Lazy day today - - finally. Shoulder doctor tomorrow to see what he wants to do. Grrrr - - hate that.

I'm gone,

Bobby

 

Wake up Fiver and pay attention! You may need a cup with an extra shot today.... I ain't the maid either but I brewed a pot just a little bit ago.

No freezing of any tail up here, This is about the right temp for lots of stuff. I may fire up the sled today........

 

Taco meat, refried beans (all in the same pot to lessen the amount of dirty dishes) and a bag of chips. Easy and tasty. The dogs will eat it too. Maybe even the cockatiels.....

 

Better one.
Small bags of Doritos, Hormel chili, shredded lettuce and shredded cheese.
Before opening the chips, chunch them up, open the bag, spoon in the chili, add the lettuce and cheese into the bag...........only thing to wash is a pot for the chili, and a spoon.

 

Heat the chilli in the can on the stove... NO dishes.

 

Your arm's broke?

Why bother? It's just going to grow back you know.

You'll be alone for Christmas?
PARTY AT 'HEADS HOUSE!

You sure ain't. Not good lookin' enough!
