Kielbasa and Sauerkraut For Dinner.

Over the last couple of days I’ve heard several (over 5) reports of downed wires burning around the various counties. Ok, you’d expect some of that during the “worst” snow storm we’ve had here in some time. But, just a few mintues ago, I heard a report of a fire in a pellet stove. Yep, IN a pellet stove.

Now, I don’t want to sound stupid, but, isn’t that where the fire is supposed to be when you use a pellet stove? Inside?

Not a whole hell of a lot going on around here. Take the Dog for walks when I can. Still icy out there but the snow is finally melting a bit. I don’t remember it snowing much yesterday. (But my memory is shot anyway.) Mail run. Chores.

Did take my laser-disc player out of the basement and hook it up to the tv in the big room. Still have a butt-ton of laser-discs and wanted to see if the player still works. Does. Maybe I ought to put it all up on Craig’s List and see if it’ll sell. Fifty (or so. I’d have to count) laser discs and player for $1000 cash? I even have that version of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” where the artists drew Jessica Rabbit sans underwear.

Anywho, SWMBO is home and enjoying dinner. (It was yummy!) Think I’ll get ready to go lay down and read a bit.

A Snowy Sunday At Home

That’s the best kind. Started snowing around 1000 this morning and has been snowing off and on most of the day; so far. Supposed to get 3” or more between 1800 tonight and 1800 tomorrow. We’lll see.

It'll all change to rain. Just watch.

The usual Sunday around here. Regular chores and laundry while SWMBO is off to church. Running the dog around since we probably aren’t going to get out for a walk. Snow you know. Cold, Wet, Snow.

Although, after SWMBO got home we went out and checked her taters. They be soft and mushy like they froze. At least once. Dog had a great time though. No leash and he got to haul balls around the yard. He did good. Came everytime we called. He’s fast too! Way fast.

It’s 1600 and the snow is really starting to come down. Things are getting covered over. Cool!

Well, the MCARC Sunday Evening 2-meter Chat Net went well; cause I was Net Control tonight. Even had a fellow from Brown’s Point join us. (Kinda scratchy but mostly understandable.)

And that’s it. Think I’ll go start up the heating pad and get ready to go lay down. About 1.5 inches of snow has built up out there with more on the way. (They say.) SWMBO may have to leave early in the morning.

Gonna Rename The Dog To Buttfloss

Cause he’s kind of useless but fun to play with.

BWBlond007Not a whole lot going on lately. As usual. Today is my normal Saturday routing so far; waiting for SWMBO to get home from the Genealogy Library so she can take me out to dinner. Probably going to Arby’s in Silverdale so we can check out a store called “FYE” (I think). May stop by COSTCO but I’m not sure. Whatever. Long as I get to spend time with SWMBO I’m happy.

Had some snow night before last but it didn’t last long. Been raining the past two days. Really cold rain; but not quite cold enough to snow or ice over. So the Dog and I haven’t been taking as many walks. Which sucks.

 

Thinking of killing my Netflix account. I get a movie, watch it, and wind up buying it anyway. Kind of wasting the money for Netflix. Had “Heroes” shipped to me and got reminded that I really liked it, so I bought the complete series on Amazon (blu ray). Ripping it now to put up on the NAS. Don’t let me win the Lotto!

Watching Tenori-On video’s on YouTube. Would like to get one but can’t justify the $800+ for one. Could get a new 857d or Drone for that. Guess I’ll keep playing with LMMS. Been thinking of taking guitar lessons too.

#Desiree

So, My Lovely-Young-Bride of 30+ years did take me to Arby’s. Then to this FYE place; where I spent $100 on Blu Ray’s and she spent $30 for a mix of music she likes. I got 8 Godzilla flicks for $2.50/ea. Wouldn’t have spent as much as I did but they had the 8-movie Harry Potter collection for $30 cheaper than I’ve been able to find it on Amazon. So I got it.

Walked the Mall and she got some financial book she’s been suggesting I read. Made our usual Safeway stop (when we don’t stop at Walmart) and we be home. Dog did well while we were gone. Didn’t pee/poop anywhere in the house. DID pile all my shoes and our light coats (that were hanging on the backs of chairs) in the big room. Ah well.

Longmire Season 05

Ladder03bFrustrated as Hell cause I can’t find Longmire Season 05 anywhere but at Netflix streaming. Damn. I have a DVD subscription (which I’m thinking of cancelling anyway) and really don’t want to pay for a streaming account. Really like Longmire, but …

Not a whole hell of a lot going on around here. Me and the Dog going for walks. Cold out there. Hasn’t been raining much but everything’s still soaked out in the back 40. Finally getting him (the Dog) to wrestle me a bit. That’s good. He’s still pooping on the “blue grass” in the big room if I don’t get him outside in time. Someone trained him that he can’t go outside and poop unless he’s being watched. Haven’t been able to break him of that belief yet. But I will outstubborn him on this.

AArt06Took the Dog for a couple of walks. Sun was out but it is COLD out there. Brrr. NWS says it’s 39 degrees with wind chill at 31 degrees. Too cool for me! Calling for freezing rain Thursday night into Friday morning. I may just turn the electric pad on and stay in bed. (Be nicer if SWMBO could stay there with me!)

Playing with World Editor (WED) trying to make KPWT (Bremerton) act a bit more realistically. Would love to see some other traffic there besides me and the static planes I put in. Also want to learn how to make AI planes and building that look like the buildings that are really there. And a bunch of other stuff. It’s all complicated to me.

Oops, they called off the threat of icy rain over the next day or so. Good! Do need a bit of rain though. Need to do some trash burning.

The MCARC Wednesday 2-meter Chat Net went well. Eight checkins this week!

I’m gonna go find a Longmire Season 5 torrent. Then go to bed.
