I Got To Drive My Schweetie To …

Posted on by

The Ferry this morning since her son is down in Portland for the week getting “trained.” It was fun. Early as hell; but fun.

Solitaire-Not Very Good At This

Made a run to the Bank and got to put gas in the new truck for the very first time. Had 1/8th tank left and put 22 gallons @ $2.49/gal. Once gas prices go back up this is going to be an expensive truck to fill. It’s guestimating that I’ll be able to go 462 miles on this tank; we’ll see.

Other than that just not much going on. Spent most of the day just doing stuff around the house. Scanning SWMBO’s Genealogy Helpers she found in her room and brought out to me. (Oh, Joy.)
Raining out so we didn’t get outside. Dog’s bummed. I’m bummed. So we played “I’m Gonna Kick Dog Butt” awhile before he got bored (and I got tired) and went our separate ways. Rode 5 miles on the bike thingie.

Could Be Wet The Next Couple Of Days! Flood Watch.

Made myself fried fish, fries, and peas for dinner. A bit later I had a half-cup of pudding. (Hope it wasn’t too late to eat chocolate.) Stuffed.

Still have to waddle my fat assed self to the truck and go pick SWMBO up. In the rain. In the dark.

SSDD Saturday

Posted on by

Really. SWMBO took the truck to the Genealogy Library so I was stuck at home where I did all my usual Saturday stuff plus laundry. She brought pizza home for dinner and we went to Safeway afterwards. (Dang! Forgot to get gas.)

SSDD. Sorry it’s not more exciting than that. I don’t even have any musings to pass on tonight. Been using Calibre to download and read “News” and other stuff, if that helps. Waiting for Doctor Who to be made available.

I suppose I could talk about that. I live 3 miles outside town. Cable stops about half a mile from here (down by the school). No plans to get cable out here ever. So we have DSL (and not very fast DSL) for Internet. Thanks to digital tv, I can clearly get 1 channel (13) worth watching and 3 “religious” stations. Thank you Digital TV. So we (may or may not) download the shows we like after they’ve “aired.” No, I don’t feel bad about (maybe or maybe not) downloading shows that have aired; It’s kinda sorta like videotaping shows and watching them later. And I never download movies. Never. (Nor music. Why download music when you can tune into an Internet Radio Station for free?)

But I suppose there’s some high muckity-muck MPAA Nazi out there searching for me.

Foggy. Overcast. Cool. Ugh!

But I might as well get used to it. Getting a lot cooler & wetter over the next week. Suxs. Maybe I should use my new Social Security (when it starts) to go somewhere warmer & drier. Hmmm. It’s a thought. NOAA claims we’re going to have a drier than usual winter around here this year. Sure.

Still, Snow Is Better Than Just Rain.

Not much going on. The Usual. Mail Run. Trying to stay off my ass even if that means being busy doing “stuff.” But, “stuff” is really about all I have to do. Sometimes being “retired” is a total pain in the ass. Other times I enjoy the hell out of it.

I Don't Know What Joke She Was Told, But I Like The Way She Laughs!

Finally checked in to the Noon Time Net on 7268.5 USB. Guy I checked in with is in Sammamish, WA so it wasn’t that far to reach. Nice though. I really need to get off my ass and work the radio a lot more. Don’t like sitting a lot though.

Did get off my ass and finish painting the deck. Let it rain!!!

And that’s it. Spent way too much time watching “Apocalypse: World War One.” Really good documentary but about 5 hours long. No, didn’t “binge watch” it. I’d started it yesterday.

Windy and cold out. Feels like it could rain when the temp drops tonight. We’ll see. I get to get up and go help a friend move to Arizona tomorrow. Hate to see him go.

It’s Zero-Dark-Thirty Sept 11th

Posted on by

And I’m up, as usual. News is on but it doesn’t seem anything has happened, yet. Am I the only one that expects another attack on 9/11? They showed part of the “Remembering 9/11” Ceremony. Someone was (badly) singing the National Anthem, everyone in uniform was saluting the flag going by, Obama and his wife were walking.

Meanwhile, we have a “Red Flag Warning” (Fire Danger) from the NWS with gusty east winds (25-40 mph) coming at us today. Meaning Y’all Be Careful! If a fire got started it’ll run before the wind. Better make sure everything’s tied down. Supposed to get warmer over the next few days here (low 80’s), but the Central Plains are expecting a (really) cold front to move through.

Tried Honey in my coffee today instead of sugar. Yeah, I know the heat kills the honey, but I’m looking to sweeten my coffee without using sugar. Can’t stand that fake sugar shit; leaves a tingly sensation in the back of my throat.

MMmmm. Spam Spread & Crackers for a lunch snack! Life is good. Making meatloaf later so life will be better. (I make a pretty good meatloaf.)

Nice and Sunny and fairly warm (70 degrees right now) so I’ve been outside as much as possible. Folded the tent trailer up for Winter. Swapped the coax on my 6btv antenna for some thicker/better coax. Watered the garden and picked today’s haul (maters & 1 green pepper). Inside I’ve been scanning Genealogical Helpers and my usual chores.

So, instead of meatloaf for dinner I’m experimenting. Made beef stuffed cabbage rolls instead. One pan is made exactly by the recipe book. The other has Mexican style maters spread over the top because I couldn’t find another can of condensed tomato soup. AND I have to make instant mashed potato’s cause we’re out of real potato’s. Since the meat mix is wrapped in cabbage I don’t figure I need another veggie. Hope they both turn out. (Did. Good. Tasty.)

And that’s about it. Some folks followed SWMBO home to give us a guesstimate on finishing the taping & pasting. $200. I can live with that. They’ll start Saturday. Cool!
