Wet Day But Got Some Things Done

Posted on by

Just to let all y’all know: When the Zombie Apocalypse comes to the Seattle-Tacoma area, some of us are probably going to blow up the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to keep them on that side of the water. We figure that them having to go through Olympia will slow them down by months; stopping to eat the dipshits in our State Capital, you know.

It quit raining for awhile, so I made a run to take some stuff to the “Faith In Action” store in town. Filled the truck with gas on the way back. Well, not the whole truck; just the tank.

Other than that just not much more than the “usual” going on. Kind of stalled on my room until I get paint. I don’t want to block a bunch of stuff off until I can paint then get it all cleaned up. Still need to buy some 2X4’s to make a frame to hold my new counter tops. That I still need to buy also.

But this is old news.

Dang. Got busy installing Linux Mint 17.1 both Cinnamon & Mate versions to a couple of virtual machines and completely forgot about what time it was. I like playing with VMware Player. Let’s me do all kinds of things.

Anywho, SWMBO is home and has eaten and is in her room watching “something.” It’s about bed time for this old guy.

Very Wet Friday! Yard River Is Back!

Posted on by

Yep. Pretty much a SSDD around here. Rained all day. Been watching the temperature slowly drop: 0530-52 degrees-Raining Hard. 1300-44 degrees-Raining. 1700-38 degrees-Raining. Right now it needs to drop another 4 or 5 degrees before it can snow. We’ll see. Or maybe we won’t; it’s dark out now.

I Want One!

SWMBO’s Son finally bought himself a truck. 1999 F-150. It’s parked at his girlfriend’s in Sammamish and he and SWMBO are going to get it when he picks her up at the Ferry Landing. That’ll mean they should be home about 2200 or so. Cool. Now I won’t have to give up my truck on Saturday’s. And Sunday’s.

Just not much going on around here. Catching up on shows I’ve downloaded. Being lazy really.

Oh, yeah. SWMBO liked her Birthday present yesterday. A gift card to Jo Anne’s Fabric store. She’s already planning to go Saturday when she can double the amount on the card through their 50% off sale. Cool! When you marry a Quilter, you always know what you can get them for their birthday.

And that’s it. SWMBO is home safe and it’s past my bedtime.

Another Sprinkly Breezy Day

Posted on by

Where I did my “usual” routine with the addition of running into Port Orchard for SWMBO’s Birthday present. I kinda sorta took the lazy man’s way out; but a way out I know she’ll like. No problems there. Stopped and took some pictures on the way.

My first Social Security check came in right on time. Cool! Transferred funds back into “our” account paying back the bucks I borrowed to make a down on my new truck. Stopped by the Credit Union to check on a couple of things. Stopped by the Auto Parts store to look at Truck Tool Boxes but they didn’t have any. Came on home and have been farting around since.

Not much else going on. Straightening up around the house to get ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Still don’t know just who will be coming over but everyone is pretty much welcome. I know SWMBO’s Son will be taking the “dark meat” left over on the turkey to his girlfriend’s cause she likes the dark meat. Weird.

And that is really about it. Supposed to be breezy and wet for this Thanksgiving. Y’all be safe and have a great day tomorrow!

It Ain’t Breezy. It’s Danged Windy!

My new antenna is really bouncing up and down out there. Wet out too. But, this is WaRshington so what do you expect?

Just not much going on around here. If anything I was a bit lazier today than usual. Got my regular chores done but not much else. Oh, swept and swabbed the dining room and kitchen. Made some chili for dinner. Finished off some laundry. Made a mail run to the Post Office in town.

Been listening to the radio but haven’t heard much on the local repeaters. Lots of traffic stuff towards 1600. Seems WaRshingtonians still haven’t learned to drive in the rain. Go figure! And wait until it snows!

Wow. Someone going Eastbound on I-90 hit a bear. That would suck!

Almost called an ambulance or just drove in to the hospital earlier. My lips were “tingling” and had a “heavy” feeling in my chest. Wasn’t short of breath, dizzy,  diaphoretic, or anything like that; just what I mentioned. Just getting old, I guess. Still, wouldn’t mind celebrating my 150th birthday, in person, someday. And I don’t really care what physical condition I’m in to get there as long as I can wipe my own ass when I need to!

MCARC 10-meter Tuesday Chat Net coming up. AE7GC (Bill) called me and asked me to take it tonight as he has to go to the hospital to visit his better half. No prob! I may have to go pick SWMBO up but should be back in time. If not I’m sure some one will pick it up. (W7FBI – Lee did.)

And I did pick SWMBO up this evening.  Nice riding with her at anytime. Even in the rain. In the dark. (Especially in the dark.)
