12 years ago today the wife and I bought our house.

Not much left in here that's original other than the framing. Theres two doors, the kitchen, and one light bulb socket in a closet. And the well.

Other than finishing the back yard with a covered patio, redoing bathroom flooring and replacing the HVAC system and water heater... still all original.

At the point where I either start remodeling (which I do not want to do... at all) or pulling up stakes and finding another new construction pad in another state.

Wife says, "I want a 1 story with 4 BR's". I'm on board with that. Now to find something we'll both like... in an area not California.

Edit: Forgot I upgraded the kitchen counters from tile/porcelain to granite/stainless.

Pork butt is on the smoker. Instead of making my normal rub I’m using something out of Texas called “Sucklebusters”. It’s big and loud.

Rain is supposed to arrive at 8pm. They say biggest storm of 2022 for us. We will prolly get 1/4 inch of rain.

I enjoy remodeling. Kinda. Used to do it for work but it don't pay.

Brother in law said he wanted to finish his basement. I got super excited for a big project I don't have to pay for. But then he told me he's hiring the whole thing out. $100k.... i could do it for 30.

Time is money and obviously your BIL has much more money than time.

Unless he hires a bad contractor, he’ll probably would get the basement done faster than if he hired you. Still, $70K is a lotta money. I woulda hired you and then put on my puka-puka shorts and t-shirt and help with the work.

Found water in the basement which sucks. Investigation found the clean out cover for one of the two main drains rusted and fell out. So flushing goes right into the basement. Sunday just got chitty

The bright side is it's the line that only goes to the half bath off the kitchen, so not used as often and rarely #2. SOBclean's going to take this one

Howdy dowdy all. Was in contact with Jeep customer service, 2022 Jeep Compass is only averaging 12mpg local driving versus the 22mpg should be getting. Appoint next month with dealer for diagnosis .Only 750 miles on.#-o

Told them I was averaging 17mpg with my 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander local driving. 🤔

Not sure what you mean by local driving.........mostly 35 mph and under?

I have a brand new work pickup,Ford F-150 with less than 2000 miles,that states 17 in town 23 on the highway.First off I am no fan of Ford and had no input into the purchase of this vehicle.I'm only getting 12 mpg so we did take it back to Ford to have diagnostics run ,no problems found.Was told in town means a mix of speeds between 25 and 55 and that since my vehicle rarely exceeds 35 mph in town 12-13 mpg is what we should expect.I say bullpuckey but my former work truck,a Chevy 1/2 ton whatever single cab,only got 8 mpg so I guess the bean counters see this as a win win.

I told the bastids to buy Toyota!!!


Good luck Ram

Debris removed. Northern end of the basement disinfected. House smells like a Clorox factory. Internal disinfection commencing shortly. Think I'll start with beer and see how far up the line I get

Pleasant good evening to you fine fellas.

Acclimating to culinary choices in the desert.
Anxiously awaiting the burritos I brought back,
and the sauces that go with them…
