1/2hr till quittin' time.
Wonder if Mama will have dinner ready when I get there......

 

Another drive by posting. Sure hope you get finished soon. Didn't get much done today except going across town to pick up fuel for the special rate of $2.99. After 117 gallons I felt like I wasn't having fun any longer. Sad to think that the transfer tank will be empty again first thing in the morning tomorrow.

 

G'night DTR! the evening coffee tea sweet tea ph00 and hot coco are all up.

 

Thanks Matt, I'm up for the coco tonight.

 

I guess I will start picking on Madhat since he is never here.

Lets put things in his coffee mug. Oh look a cricket.

well better hit the rack. Tops PT comes early.

 

Finally a nice, quiet night. I suppose you can have the buffer back for the weekend. I left a football helmet with it, so I better not catch anybody riding it without the helmet.

 

Cider and donuts are out, dig in.

 

Man, when they get that big I call them bait.

Thanks Red, I haven't had warm cider in a long while. Cool here, in the forty's this morning. Really don't know if we're going to receive the little pieces of ....... I mean, the adorable little children that inhabit the houses around us. Not really a friendly lot. Maybe hooking a line to the air horn on the Mack might make me feel better. Always good to see them scatter, keeps the blood flowing.

 

Hey Don - - what is this stuff? Cider??? It is cold down here - - I need some hot ph00. It is down in the 50's. I did dig the donut though - - cholesterol didn't like it, but I did.

So, coffee is on and ph00 is on. Gotta warm up. Mercy.

I dreamed about Heidi with a Mohawk - - horrors. Why did you go and do that - - in my mind, then start dreaming it. See Heidi, the forum has dreams about you, girl.

OK, off and see how the day goes - - I am tired of these colds and dripping noses - - had enough of it. Have a gudurn, gang.

Mornin' All!

Toasty -5*F today. Finnished my first cup of and need another.

Went out to dinner with the neighbors last night. (not the crazy mailbox hating lady ) Had a good time then wandered over to the local Wally world and ran into just about every convicted felon who wasn't in jail. Somdays I wish I didn't know all of them.

Mama had bad dreams last night about aliens and body scans. Weird. She wasn't too happy with my comments about "Men in Black" ,"Signs" and the Little Green Men from Nome. (google it) Beware you just never know what's out there......or in here.....

 

Morning all.
Hey Marc stay warm Here is a HOT CUP O JOE.
Looks stormy here on the coast.

 

Yeah FIVERBOB, copy on that dream thing from DTRposts...had one about the janitor getting a promotion.......scaaaaarrrrryyyyy! LOL never know what Don (REDLEG) will post! eeww!

going to branson Monday, and having my hair cut and styled too LOL only skinny blonde women can get ridiculous styles......for me, long hair is extreme!

son doing the bulk of moving today (took a day off from work) and organizing. nice to know that he has a high work ethic as he tripled up the production amount yesterday to cover for his time off today. can finally straighten his arm out, but no strength yet. long road to full recovery.
scar is healing nicely for Frankenstein look.

ton of phone calls this AM; split two cords of wood and saw splitter end needed some stronger welds. I-beam face is impressed from pressure of splitter and logs. painted all steel surfaces from scrapes and new tree roof on tractor. going out to help hubby heat , bang and weld it back into compliance!
need CHAIKWA's heavy touch to beef it up, I guess. LOL!

tired of politics, had fun up at the wood lot off the road. tractor with splitter drives up and back as we are pretty much by ourselves, no cops in a 50 mile radius but lots of thieves. had a yuppie stop and TELL us that tractors are not allowed on the road, we need a permit. after we stopped laughing, I asked if this was his first time in a rural area. Being a good yuppie he felt he need not answer. I gave him the number of the county sheriff and
waved bye bye to him, fired up the tractor for more splitting. sign nailed to telephone pole above us states "we ARE the neighborhood watch! we do not dial 9-1-1". yup, he drove back to explain his confusion, not an apology. I stood there with log in hand (boiler cuts are 34 inches long by 8-10 inch) and said those lovely two NY words- "you done?"

just can't get away from irritating people, so I am headed out to the shop.
beautiful day too! should hop on the bike for some errands. stress relief!

Heidi having no patience or tact today

 

Parent Teacher conference for the oldest one today. All is Good she 's smart and get's bored REAL quick in class. Teacher put her and another smart one with an Autistic classmate to help him along. Apparently it's working well. Nice to here good things from a teacher.

 

yes, great for your daughter! question is the 'put a classmate to help one needing specific learning goals'. not the kids job, unless you pay her the 30 grand for a special ed aide. not fair to the daughter actually....

yeah, can you tell I do special ed Court decision cases? fairness will be the cause of my death (stroke)...

could not get the steel channels to budge. welded up the top and repaired the seam split. when it finally bends backwards or splits, I'll replace it with the (THANKS CHAIWKA) solid two and a half inch piece by 10 inch wide by 20 inches long. not something to pick up with the motorcycle.

just got a call from an Eagle scout (Boy scout top rank) for some guidance. He was over 100 miles away but had heard from his friend's older brother about me and my passion for believing in the success of our country's young men and their goals in life. I will bend over backwards for a kid trying to help himself. not a easy feat as I am fat, old and lazy.....

 

It's not her job and might not be fair but it keeeps her focused and keeps her from trying to scocialize with others who don't catch on as fast. All in all not a bad deal for her for now.... Amazing she's smart and I'm just a smart (3 letter word for donkey)

Busy day inside today. Just got my intake unit cleaned out after araingments and ready for the incoming bunch tonight. Halloween, Friday, and payday.... gonna be fun tonight here..... 2 hours to quittin' time. Here's a fresh pot .
