Back To SSDD Wednesday

Even had some rain (and getting kind of breezy) out there. So I didn’t get as much done as I have the past couple of days; juat the usual chores is almost about all.

Did make a trip to the Post Office early and stopped on the way back for a Safeway Breakfast Burrito.

That’s what my existence has been reduced to.

SWMBO got home from work, stopped long enough to pee and give me a kiss (NOT at the same time) and is off to the church to tie a quilt. I’m kind of waiting for the MCARC 2-meter Wednesday Evening Chat Net which may, or may not, happen at 1930.

Well, it weren’t really a net; but several folks checked in to just shoot the breeze. More than if we had had a net; which is why the Net control suspended the Wednesday Net in the first place. Ah well.

Anywho, that’s really about all for today. Don’t know why I bore y’all to tears posting.

Monday, Monday. So Good To Me. # 3072

#LubaThat’s approximately 3072 Monday’s I’ve had the pleasure to endure. I ain’t gonna lie to you; I, personally, hope to see at least 3072 more. Not that I will; but it’d be nice. But, if I’m really lucky, and I take care of myself, and I don’t piss SWMBO off too much, I’ll see at least 2000 more. Hopefully.

Got my shower out of the way. Wound up walking a mile on the treadmill. Breakfast (Honey-Nut Cheerios with chopped up Walnuts, a half-handfull of pistacio’s, and Blue Berries). About to go check mail.

Ain’t that exciting!?!?!

So, I went and got 500+ pounds of black gravel ($7!) and filled most of the GIANT potholes at the head of our “road.” Weather is kind of nice out there. Especially once one gets warmed up shoveling gravel! But it was good. Nice workout. Think I’ll do the same thing if it’s this nice tomorrow. (Too tired right now. Wonder why?)

Of course, the bed of my truck is muddy and still has a lot of rocks in the back that I’ll have to clean out before going to pick SWMBO up. (And, yes, it is a truck and I’m not afraid to use the bed of the truck for what a truck is supposed to be used for. If that gets it messy, scratched, or even dinged, that’s what happens to a truck.)

Got “Earth VS The Flying Saucers” from Netflix today. It has the normal and colorized versions of the movie. I have mixed feelings about colorizing those old movies. I’ll watch it, and may even like it, but that hasn’t been the case to date.

Damn these nice days anyway! Was so nice out there that I got out and moved the Caravan to a sunnier spot. And to practice hooking it up again since I have to take it to the dealer on the 18th for it’s annual check. Or Else! Also to get it out of the way in case I decide to rent a digger and get some things done around here.

Played with WED a bit more. Can’t understand why I have a bunch of custom scenery when  you load them and there is nothing but the runways/taxiways, etc? No buildings. No other planes. No plants or houses or anything. So why have those custom scenery’s?

And, after a stop at Safeway and McDonalds, we be home. I’m going to lay down and read a bit.

Flight To A Prehistoric Planet: Earth 2016

Woke up this morning thinking I needed to go to the Goodwill Store in East Bremerton for some reason. So, after a stop at the Vape Shop and LOWES, I drove over there and walked around awhile. Nothing grabbed my attention nor did I find anything I couldn’t live without.

BUT, I did see an OPEN Radio Shack! No shit. On the way to check it out I stopped in a junk store called “Jen’s Attic” and perused their selection. They must think everything they have is an antique since everything is priced that way. WAY too expensive! But I did see a couple of 16 mm projectors; which I haven’t seen since my old audio/visual days in High School. Cool. Doubt you could find a film to show though (even if they worked).

Stopped in the embroiderer place and was impressed enough to order myself a ball cap (blue) with my call sign on it. Also ordered a Navy Blue T-shirt for SWMBO with SWMBO on it. Both should be ready next week.

The Radio Shack was an actual Radio Shack. Everything I looked at seemed rather spendy to me; but it was all there. As long as you aren’t looking for real electronic stuff, that is. Seems the only way they’ve stayed open is selling phones. Whatever! Bremerton has an open Radio Shack.

Drive home was a pain since it was raining and Friday traffic was already starting to build up. But made it safe. I’m just wondering if I was supposed to find something at Goodwill, the Embroiderer, or the open Radio Shack? So much for my hunches.

And we be home from picking SWMBO up. It’s a bit too late to watch “Minions” tonight so we’ve planned it for tomorrow evening as the later part of our date. Cool!

Soon My Reign Will End!

MCARC Meeting this morning went okay. We spent way too much time talking about the new repeater. Which we still don’t have and no one has any idea when we will have it. And it’s not going to be a new item; “They” found a used one that they like for sale in some other State somewhere. I’ll tell you: I have real problems with the 3 guys that are responsible for getting us a new repeater are the 3 guys that don’t feel we need one. So you know it ain’t gonna get done too quickly.

But, as someone reminded me today, elections for new officers are in March so I won’t have to worry about this much longer. I really am looking to get some of the new young guys/gals to take over various offices. Maybe some new, younger, minds can get some things done cause the old farts just ain’t gonna do it.

SWMBO took me to KFC for dinner this afternoon. Then we stopped at Wal Marts to get her a new backpack. I picked up a couple of movies on blue ray. Made our usual stop at Safeway on the way home; and here we are.

Antanna Did Finally Break

She has a quilt she has to finish by tomorrow so she’s off in her room sewing. I’m ripping the discs so I can convert the movies to .mp4 format for the movie drive. And doing this. Ain’t y’all lucky!?
