Crap! I Be Getting Old. Old. Damn!

Revenge of the CheerleadersDecided I’d better get off my fat, old, ass today and get that pile of boxes of 3×3” tiles to Habitat For Humanity like I’ve been meaning to. So I did. Damn! Humping 10 60lb boxes, and two construction-site table saws, out to my truck damn near gave me a heart attack! My heart was beating like there was gonna be no tomorrow. Had to stop and catch my breath and let it (my heart) slow down some. Damn!

Told the guy at Habitat that he’d have to unload all that stuff. Which he did. Mostly. I hate getting Old.

Doesn’t help that, through my own stupidity and lack of attention (meaning I forgot) that I’m out of my heart med and my lisinopril and have to get the Doc to renew my Rx before I can pick some more up. Damn. Double Damn. I’ll get through it if I just take it easy. My old Doc has transferred too. Don’t know the new one.

Mini01cNot a whole hell of a lot going on around here other than that mentioned above. Usual chores. Too cold to get out much (and we haven’t even hit Winter yet). Grounds still too wet. I just don’t feel like getting out in the cold & wet. I will if I have to though.

Been trying to plan how I’m going to get that tower I bought up and running. Could cost a pretty penny just in cement to make the thing bottom-heavy. And rebar. Getting it up will be easy compared to all that.

Well, the guy came over and we signed all the papers to re-fi our house. Only took an hour and 80 million signatures! But it’s done. Payments will be lower. Which is good. Leaves me more for more toys!

Mid-Week Mania! Buy Now!

BGGTH4bNot only am I bored, I’m boring. Other than going to the bank to check which account I got the new chip card for, and dropping Netflix off at the Post Office, I have done absolutely nothing today. Oh, the usual chores. Moved some stuff down to the basement. Moved things around in the freezer. Straightened up my office some. But mostly it’s been a lazy day.

Sorta cold out; for me. Snow in the passes; finally. No rain today for us. Did have to run the heater up a bit. I’m old.

MCARC 2-meter Wednesday Evening Chat Net went well.They had some problem hearing me tonight and it’s probably because I moved my antenna. But maybe not cause they didn’t have any problems hearing me last Sunday. Hmmm …

At Least It Didn’t Rain ALL Day!

Anybody else think that the crab would only be orange if it was already cooked?

Not a whole lot going on around here. Today it’s been just finishing up the laundry and straightening up the house. Anyone who tells you that being retired is all fun and games should be deported! A lot of retirement is boring. I’ve been doing it for 7-8 years and I’m ready to go back to work.

SWMBO took me to Red Lobster for dinner last Saturday. Then we walked the Mall. She stopped at the smelly stuff store and I waited in the main hall. Saw a girl that reminded me of The Penguin (from batman) and right behind her was a guy that anyone would have mistaken for Icabod Crane. Sorry, folks, but they was funny looking.

Yesterday I didn’t get hardly anything done but most of the laundry. An SSDD Sunday, in other words. SWMBO’s Home Teachers came by so we spent an hour visiting with them. Ate dinner, had the MCARC 2-meter Sunday Chat Net (which went well), and stayed up late watching the latest Star Trek movie. She seemed to enjoy it.

And that’s pretty much it. Oh, played with that Universe Sandbox program I got some months back. Spent several hours making solar systems then seeing how much damage I could create by shooting random planets through them. Was fun!

Another Regular Every-Day Friday.

Had SteamWriter recording some ChillTrax from the Internet, AND had a movie on YouTube running with the sound off (Journey To The Edge Of The Universe, I think) and got busy doing things around the house. The Next time I looked a the screen ChillTrax was still playing (or I’d have checked on it) but the movie had ended and Fashion something was on YouTube. Which was okay with me; I like girls showing their underwear. But, what was weird was, nomatter what played on ChillTrax, the models were in step with the music. Cool!

Not a whole lot happening around here. Straightening up the inside of the house. Making another stew (just cause I like my stew and had the makings). Made a trip to Safeway for some things. No mail today cause it’s Veteran’s Day. (Doesn’t feel like a Holiday to me. I’m doing pretty much what I always do).

SWMBO got home late last night cause she went to her class. We sat in my room, watched a couple of trailers (Doctor Strange & Logan look like they’ll be good!), and just sat talking about Dogs and stuff until almost midnight. Was nice. She’s still my most favorite person I ever met.

Anywho, got busy trying to add the network printer (on the NAS) to print from my computer. Ugh! Still can’t connect to the damn thing! Starting to piss me off!
