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.

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.

Yeah, Home Early On Date Night Again.

SWMBO took me out kind of early today (the teryaki chicken place in Gig Harbor) so we could get back early so she could work on her talk she has to give in Church tomorrow. And get some homework she has to have donethat she hasn’t gotten done yet. Yes, she has a (bad!) habit of waiting until the last minute for some things.

They're Just Teasing Me Now

Otherwise, not a whole lot going on for me. Caravan stuff last Thursday. SSDD Friday. Really kind of a SSDD today; except I do enjoy going out with my Schweetie for our date. Really the highlight of my week.

Holy Crap! Where Did The Time Go?

FemJoy-02-13It’s already Thursday. Thursday! What the Hell have I been doing?

Glad you asked.

Not a whole lot, really. Pretty SSDD around the house what with chores and walking the dog several times a day. It’s just too cold and dreary for me to get outside much.

Did get up at 0315 this morning and get out of the house by 0400 to take the Caravan to Tacoma for it’s annual warranty-for-life check. Got over there about 0530 (STILL didnt manage to avoid traffic!) and just sat around until my appointment at 0945.

Really nice folks there. Helpful. Courtious. The annual check cost me $103 but I had them redo/renew some of the sealant on the roof and fenders so my total came in right at $203. Not bad. Still think it’s kind of a con-job that they sell you a “warranty for life” plan (that doesn’t cover sealant and some othe things) then require you to take the RV in for an annual check (which they charge you for) in order for the warranty for life to remain in effect. It’s almost like, I don’t know, I’m double paying for something.

Did find a little 15-ft Winnebago trailer that I’d trade ours in for if I wouldn’t take such a beating financially. It is just the right size for how we “camp.” (We park it, head out in the truck, come back, sit for awhile, sleep, repeat.) Met a retired Army guy that had just traded in one of those driveable RV’s that he still owed $65k on for a nice 30 ft trailer. He said I should trade in if I wanted to cause “Who ya gonna leave your money to?”

SWMBO’s Son’s truck was in the way when I got home so I couldn’t park the Caravan in it’s spot until he came home. No real biggie. Got ‘er done though. Glad I put the parking space where I did. All I have to do is line up with the driveway and back it in. Easy Peasy.

Dang. Was so tired last night I forgot to post.
