Turn the page it is Friday.............

Morning, peeps. Back to reality today. Think I can make it to the weekend

Good late morning!

We are heading 55 miles to my best friends beach condo this weekend while he is out of town. Another good friend has a condo in a complex 200yds away and we plan to hang out with them this weekend. Fifth floor, direct ocean view.

Unfortunately, we are getting all the rain over the weekend that soaked Texas over the last week.

Nevertheless, a rainy day at the beach is better than none at all!

Running erands and prepping for an overnight trip out west.
Tomorrow moring will be up at 4:00 a.m. and on the road no later than 4:30.
Early to the lounge today, early out, and an early bedtime.

Another day of breaking rocks in the hot sun.
Musta done something really bad in a past life…

Happy Friday

He's right ya know...

Evening folks. Hope everyone's Friday was good, welcome to the weekend.

…and the law won.

13 hours at work today.

This work thing has turned into a full time job.

Everybody is. He was a notorious micromanager, but still a great person to work for

A woman in town set up a mini pantry on her property this past week. Built a small shed and stocked it with non perishable foods, diapers, personal care products, and so on. Free to anyone that wants them and it's monitored with her security cameras. It's open 7 days a week from like 7 AM to 7 PM. Much of it is out of her own pocket and donations from others. Free stuff for folks that might need them. Sort of an honor system thing.

Town hall is giving her flack and wants to shut her down even though she has the proper permits. WTF? She's not preparing food so those regulations are not needed. She's not stocking perishables like fresh produce, milk, meat stuff. It's just a a small "Pantry" as she calls it but City Hall want's her to stop.

In town there is a church that grows a community garden in the summer. Fresh veggies and stuff for folks to take, again on the honor system. I try to support these types of things. Is her small Pantry much different than that?

Did I mention that she ran for mayor last year as an independent but lost to the sitting democrat mayor (they were the only two on the ballot). If you have an R to your name in MA you will most likely loose. Trying not to make this a political post but why would the town try to shut down a small free food panty supported by her out of pocket money and residents' donations? Personal vendetta from the existing mayor against someone who tried to unseat him on the last election? Is this much different than the community garden that the local church runs? Is this much different than a kid's lemonade stand?

Freak

Hey, maybe he identifies as a fish.
You can do that now…

Agreed.
All political bs aside, TW is a good hearted dude, and I miss him…

I dunno... they swim pretty fast...

Happy Saturday fellas

Morning gents

Kind of a gray day today. Weather people say on and off showers. Gonna be a lazy day and do some stuff around the house and want to do some stuff on the deck. I have and indoor cat that I inherited from a neighbor. He's maybe 2 or 3 yrs old and has been and indoor cat his whole (short) life so we've slowly been introducing him to the outdoors. As with any domesticated animal, he likes to take a nap in the Sun, fresh air and claim some more territory. He likes outdoors but I don't want him wandering around the neighborhood outside with the possibility of getting squashed by a passing car.

He can lounge around on the deck but the deck slats are are open enough for him to slip through in attempts to chase birds and stuff (hunting instinct). Probably put a some lattice around the slats or a temporarily show fence thingy so he hang out on the deck but can't escape.

Also want to get the auto water irrigation thingy going for the container plants that we have on the deck.

Thawed out a bunch of chicken breasts but need to decide what to make with them. I predict a nap in the future as I contemplate what kind of chicken recipe to cook.

Walked the dog, did 30 minutes on the treadmill for 2.6 miles (ain't setting no speed records, fuh sho!) and then did some trap bar deadlifts.

Now I need to wash my stinky self and get some nourishment.

Warm out there... 82 going to 90 today, but the humidity is 77%. Ooof.

If my dishwasher broke I'd take her to a doctor if I couldn't find a DIY fix.

Good morning, Gentlemen and Corey.

Good Saturday Morning, almost noon, to All!It's an overcast 75° on the way to 77° today.

We left the house yesterday morning, drove four house down to Whidden Gunworks in Nashville, GA, to get a rifle lot tested. Rimfire rifles tend to be picky about ammunition and even which lot they shoot the best.

We intended to go to a rifle match in Dublin, GA today and stay the last night in Dublin, however the match was canceled due to bad weather so we made the four hour drive home last night. It was a long day, but getting to have the rifle tested while bolted to a 500 pound machine rest was worth the trip. I was also able to purchase a fair amount of the ammunition the rifle preferred.

Lawn mowed. Fixed the boy's go kart. Fed/watered chickens.

Wife n boy want to go to parents house to swim, so heading down there next.

Both my wife and I detested washing dishes, the first appliance we bought was a portable dishwasher that connected to the kitchen sink.

Dishwashing was a chore I often did as a kid. Probably most detested from cleaning up the kitchen at my Father's house. It was necessary if we wanted to eat anything and avoid food poisoning. My Pop lived on alcohol, nuts, a little yogurt and a couple of daily packs of PallMall red death cigarets. Kitchen sanitation was not on his list of things he cared about. On the positive side, I do have really high standards for kitchen cleaning.

Dishwashers need a couple of things to do a great job, Most of all HOT water and second dirty dishes, things like grease supposedly help the dishwasher detergent work better. We have had several brands over the years, the most silent was and Electrolux but the current Bosh, while not quite as silent, does a fantastic cleaning job.
