AAHHHhhhhhh how nice it is to sleep in and to wake up naturaly without all the inconsiderate nincompoops defiling the early morning with their cacophony of discordant noise.
Am enjoying a nice quiet cup of java.
Another boring day down here in Paradise; clear skies, nice breeze, temps going to 79 degrees. We need rain.

Morning boys & girls, a little rain for us here in the northeast today.
Temps will be around 60, snow is gonna melt.
It's mud season, not spring.
Have a fabulous day.
Rich

I guess I have to learn Spanish to understand what Mexstan is saying

Here are the translations I found:

Nincompoop:
A silly, foolish, or stupid person.

Cacphony:
1) Jarring, discordant sound; dissonance: heard a cacophony of horns during the traffic jam.
2) The use of harsh or discordant sounds in literary composition, as for poetic effect.

Discordant:
1) Not being in accord; conflicting.
2) Disagreeable in sound; harsh or dissonant.


Put the dictionary down Mexstan

Silly squids, they just keep talking Navy stuff.
They should be keelhauled or hung from the yard-arm.

Things are looking up.
Just received word that the Office move that popped up on the radar Wednesday afternoon as an 'emergency' move scheduled for today, has been postponed until next week.

Geeze, I wish these folks would get a clue................

See there ?? I knew that if I turned a blind eye to the clock and "forgot" to sound revielle, y'all were sure to abuse it. Dang, I hate being right all the time.
I ran MY 5.5 miles in the mud this morning with "the boys" ... where were YOU Stan and Fiver ?? Never mind coming up with another excuse ... one glance at your too clean flip-flops and hammock string marks on the side of your faces tells us all we need to know .
There's agonna be consequences and repercussions !!!

Mrs. Pistol misread the clock this morning and called to bid me a very cheerful Good Morning ... at 0430 . That was after she talked to me until 0030 last night to tell me good night. I really need all of the beauty sleep I can get y'know . Can't wait until she gets out here so I can get some sleep !! (uh ... nevermind ).

Hope you all have lots of productive plans for the weekend and PLEASE ... BE SAFE !!! You only have one set of eyes and fingers don't grow back !!

Gooooood Mornin DTRrrrrrr!

Sun's up, everyone up! time to rise & shine.

Oh boy! I get to attend a 4 & a 1 year old grand daughters B-day. Took them swimming last night. Kinda fun to watch the little pollywogs learn to swim after I threw them in. They did pretty good! Neither one drown!

Good mornzzzzzzzzzzzz. Mods, can you please do something, like program certain members into the banned mode until after about 8 a.m. on the west coast? Is it fair that one or three members here disturb the rest of us that are trying to sleep?
I did send a bunch of my Mexican friends up north to settle this issue in a "friendly" way but they got caught in the Arizona desert by some of you minutemen. Will have to try something else.
Looks like it is going to be another fantastic, boring day down here in Paradise. Just checked the weather for the next 5 days and for a change we are going to have a few passing clouds. Low temp for the next 5 days is 46 and the high is 91. Most days the high is 89-88. We need rain.
Now that certain nincompoops have got me up will go for another coffee and then water the garden where the sprinklers don't do such a good job.
