Time Passes When You’re …

Having fun!

You know; I’m just not sure what, if anything, I did last Thursday. Probably just more of the same. Just after posting last Wednesday, the News and Wx sites I read all predicted SNOW through Friday morning. And it did. North and East of Seattle got slammed with some places getting around 6 inches. Didn’t see a flake here. I even seem to remember the sun coming out for awhile. Wasn’t warm or anything; just the sun came out.

Friday was our usual Date Night and SWMBO took me and our son to Taco Bell in Port Orchard. Then we spent too much money Walgreen’s getting me some socks and t-shirts. Then spent way too much money at Safeway on the way home. Our freezer is packed!

Didn’t do too much today. SWMBO was off at the Genealogy Library and I just kind of lounged around the house and got a couple things done outside (still COLD out there) and played with Vue7 a lot while watching “The Universe.”

Got a guy coming over tomorrow to look at the Digger. Says he’s definitely interested in buying her. I really hate to sell it, but, we really need the money. If we got a couple of bills paid off (we don’t really owe that much out) we at least wouldn’t have to worry about them. If we could sell off SWMBO’s car (or economically get a cheaper one) neither of us would have to work! Thank you Navy Retirement!

And that’s it. Think I’ll go lay down and read.

Pretty Normal Wednesday. Again…

Which means just not much going on (SSDD). Weather has been stormier than usual; hard rain at times and lots of wind. You should see my “long wire” antenna (389 feet of steel cable hung tree to tree) swinging up and down in the wind! I am surprised it hasn’t broken yet. My other antenna’s seem to be holding up well also, so, I should be able to join the Wednesday MCARC 2-meter Chat Net at 1930.

Been listening to/scanning the different repeaters & Police/Sheriff frequencies today and have heard only a couple of “trees down across the road” messages/calls. I didn’t think it was THAT windy out…

Oh, that steak SWMBO made last night was damned excellent! I was going to make “chied fricken” for dinner tonight but we was out of fry juice. So I rubbed “steak rub” all over it and baked it. Tasted good but was a bit dry. Had 3 cheese rice and salad with it. Now to make a trip to Safeway for some oil…

One thing I’d be interested in comments about (minus Spam, of course) is: Do I add too many pictures? Do the pictures I do add interest y’all? Are my personal comments too much or too little? Totally uninteresting?

And any other suggestions you may have.

Ooooooo, That’s Nice!

Woke this morning just before the alarm clock would have gone off feeling pretty good. Nice! Much better than waking up with a headache. Smile

According to the News folks a storm is headed our way for Wednesday. Lots of wind and rain. I’ll make sure things are battened down but I really don’t expect much. To say our Weather people are “alarmist” would not be an exaggeration.

My sincere condolences to the US Marines and the families of those killed and injured in Hawthorn today. As a “Doc” is was my job, and pleasure, to try to keep y’all alive and my heart still hurts when you die. I’ve never seen a more dedicated group of people in my life. HooRah!

Had a dream just before waking up that I saw my brother, George, that I haven’t seen nor heard from in over 20 years. Sometimes I wish my brothers and I got along better. Or I’m just getting old and sentimental.

Oh, boy. It is really starting to rain out there! SWMBO and I just got back from making a run to the Naval Hospital in Bremerton to get my refill on my meds, VIA our friends near Shelton where SWMBO forgot her phone yesterday, then to the Silverdale Mall to buy/replace the battery & Charger for my Volcano e-cig. Long trip! And the Wx got steadily worse.

But, we’s home now and SWMBO is making some kind of steak, mashed & Veggies for dinner. I’ll let y’all know how that went…

I *HATE* Waking Up With A Headache!

Posted on by

It just ruins the rest of the damned day! Needless to say I didn’t get a whole lot done today…

I *DID* get a chance to sit out in the Sun for awhile. It was so warm (directly in the sun and when the wind didn’t hit one) that I actually fell asleep in the lounge chair thingie. Didn’t help with the headache but still was nice. First of many sun-lit naps to come!

Took my Schweetie for ice cream at DQ this evening. Just because…

I don't really like Golf. Like Shorts!

Think I’ll go see if sticking my head way down in the toilet and flushing 3 times will get rid of this damned headache…
