Sunny, Hot, Busy Day. Yay!

Posted on by

Digger showed up about 0830 (or so) and I’ve been on it all day. Got a lot done!

Driveway (did both upper & lower), New garden area behind the house, and the place dug out where SWMBO wants to put a rock/brick wall. Also made my new “road” so I can pull the Caravan around the house easily. (Which was why I had to move my garden in the first place.) Took most of the day to get just this done. (Also filled a couple of sink holes and worked on our main road some to get some of the bumps and holes out of it. Neighbors should be a bit happier for it.)

The new BTech Mini UV-2501+220 came in (along with most of the rest of the “stuff” I ordered a couple of days ago). UPS got lazy and didn’t even try to deliver it (I would have seen the truck! I was doing the driveway) so I had to make a run to the Post Office to pick it up. Got it out of the box but not hooked up yet. Yet.

That GREAT Chiliburger I had at Sisters Restaurant last Saturday

Anywho, it’s almost 1800 and I’m pretty much done with the digger. Did all I’d planned and a couple of “extra” things I hadn’t. Was it worth the $300 to rent this thing for a day? Probably. And it didn’t come out of our pocket/budget. (Thank’s to the Renters!) None of what I did ended up “perfect,” but, pretty near. Now to rent a cement mixer and buy some cement and get my new planter beds started. And SWMBO’s wall, of course. (And I got a new butt-ton of rocks to pick up.)

Think I’ll go play with my new Raspberry PI 3 for awhile before going to bed.

Not A Very Lazy Sunday!

Which still started early for me. As usual. I’m just a day person.  Nice day out too. So nice I finally got off my fat, old, ass and moved some more of those cinder blocks from the old garden area to the new garden area. Sort of. Nearby anyway.

But it was a get naked, stay naked day. So I mostly did. SWMBO brought home a friend from church to give her some fabric;  luckily she arrived first and had me put some shorts on. Her friend brought her husband along; he seemed a nice guy. I didn’t see much of her (SWMBO’s friend) cause she was half buried in fabric containers SWMBO hauled out of her closet in her room.

Really haven’t been doing much else around here but enjoying the weather. Moving things around trying to get ready for the digger I hired for tomorrow.

Yesterday was our usual “date day” and we went to “Sisters Restaurant” in Shelton. I had one of the best chili burgers I’ve had in quite awhile. And the fries were top-notch excellent! (Shoestring fries fried just right. Crispy!) SWMBO had some kind of spinach things; which she said she enjoyed. Anywho, we’ll be going back to Sisters Restaurant again.

We also stopped by Walmart there in Shelton and got some “stuff.” Somehow, I have no idea how, we walked out with a bunch of “stuff” yet spent less than $100.

I Used To Fly SAR In This Helocopter Way Back When

By the time we got home it was time to just chill so I didn’t even try to post. Made up for that today though! Boring as it is.

I don’t know why I’m so sore. I moved only 20 of those cinder blocks.

I get to run the MCARC 2-meter Sunday Evening Chat Net tonight. Cool! Nope. Everyone reported that I was really scratchy so K7TIT ran it. Bummer! (It was almost a CF (Old Navy Term) getting anyone that was able to run the net.)

Holy Crap! I Haven’t Posted In 4 Days!

Posted on by

M*A*S*HWhat kind of lazy POS am I? Not posting. Why, I might as well be a member of Congress (or other Government Agency).

Plain truth is: I’ve been reading. Mostly “The Destroyer” series of books; but reading none-the-less. And I’m boring.

Last Tuesday I made a non-productive trip to Shelton. Managed to not pick up either the coax I went for, not did I manage to stop by my friends house to look at his radio. DID stop and grab an excellent burger at “Bob’s Burgers” in Allyn on the way home. Ate over looking the Sound and just chillin’. That burger was good!

Wednesday I woke up with a headache so was pretty much useless all damned day. As usual, it started to go away about half an hour before bedtime. Then, just about the time I drifted off to sleep SWMBO bounds out of bed on her way to the bathroom. Which woke me up and it was awhile before I got back to sleep.

Thursday? That was just yesterday. Not a thing comes to mind.

Today I made the Bank run for the Club. Made a Bank run for myself. Then drove out by the Airport and contracted for a digger to be delivered early Monday morning. (This next Monday. Not the last Monday. Nevermind.) Been working on the Club Insurance for awhile. Checking with a Company in Oregon to see how much they’d charge us per year.

s6aAnd that’s pretty much it. Been working on the MCARC Forums while watching rescue crew’s in Japan do their thing. I remember when I was young enough to do that. Enjoyed the Hell out of it.

Oh, my Uncle called me this morning to double check that we’re planning to go to the Family Reunion this year. Yep. As it stands now, that is.

I get to pick SWMBO up in about half an hour. Think I’ll take the Dog with me. Wait freaks him out though. He’s just not sure how to handle that.

Not Another Manic Monday!

Not much of an anything day. After my usual chores I just could not get started on anything. Took the Dog for a walk and it was too cold for me. Needed to climb on the roof (even though SWMBO really doesn’t like me doing that with no one else home) and continue pressure washing; but just couldn’t make myself.

Matter of fact, other than finally giving the Dog a flea bath (which he absolutely hates and I even let his head above water so he can breathe every once in awhile!), about all I’ve done today is “play” in X-Plane, World Editor trying to “fix” the couple of airports I’m working on, the new Club Forums trying to get things to working right (and people to join), and eat. (And even eating was a no brainer: left over Mexican from our Date dinner last Saturday.) In other words: I’ve been on my Old, Fat, Ass all damned day.

#Desiree

I don’t feel particularly depressed, or sad, or happy, or anything really. Pretty normal feelings-wise today. Just can’t get motivated to get anything “extra” done. I even skipped my usual treadmill walk. Pathetic. I know!

Anywho, I’m gonna go lay down and read. Might as well improve my mind. Tumblr, here I come!
