stockpile coffee Guru's

NICE TODAY, RAIN TOMORROW, NOTHING ON THE AGENDA.

TRUMP PULLED HIS PUNCH ON KARG; COUNTER PRODUCTIVE.

Y'ALL ENJOY THE DAY---

HI Y'ALL---

Yes, Letty James is the Corvette. As in it is a 2'007' so I named him James, as in James Bond 007....

Beautiful and sunny here, I've been outside gathering rays. Fell asleep in the lounger. Headed to Walmart in a bit, I need some things and supposed to meet a dude there to sell an ipad to. Boxing last two nights was intense, we did conditioning work and I'm worn out, so draggy today. Would've been a good day to work in the yard but that surprise nap kinda messed that up. Plus I was up late last night as I decided at 9pm I was gonna make my ribeye roast. I pulled it out at 12 and omg I've never made something that good in all my life. Stood at the stove and had a few bites then packed it up and got in bed around 1.
Tee, are you referring to a stereo for the Vette or? I would like to get something for the Vette at some point.

...hey hey hey.... never buy a car in Lincoln.... there is not a more wretched hive of auto salesman scum and villainy on the planet..... I don't even know what an Enclave is.... there should be at least a 30 day warranty on it.... those dirty dogs are giving Cornville a bad name..... sunsabiches....

fires flaring up in parts of the State due to high winds... did I ever tell you how dry it is..... How dry is it? as dry as a camel's hoof.... pretty dry ya.....

keep a dry sense of humor Guru's

Just another Friday here. James got his new Stereo yesterday, a Kenwood Excelon 809. Sounds better than the old Pioneer and my iPhone hooks up to it automatically once the head unit boots up. James is happy and so am I. A mere $813.

Worked most of the day helping Grandma Rosie clean and repair GS#1 apartment he is moving out of. Me doing all the touchup of woodwork and mechanical stuff, Rosie vacuuming and using the "Rug Doctor". She'll vacuum a room and have to empty the bin two, sometimes three times because of the dog hair. Then when she goes over it with the 'doctor' the amount of hair is still a lot. But after two days of cleaning I think we are done. He's just got stuff that needs to be removed, donated or thrown out, but the big part of our job is complete.

As we were coming home yesterday, GS#1 calls me and asked if I could swap out an alternator on his GFs Enclave. She just bought it two weeks ago and it quit already. The biggest issue is she bought it in Lincoln Nebraska, so taking it back there to have it fixed, and then they will only cover 10%, and besides that, I don't think it would make it back there on a single battery charge. They just called me, they are bringing it over for me to remove the alt today and the new one will be here in the morning for me to install. Not super easy to do, but after watching youtube vids I'm pretty sure I can do it.

Smoky outside, must have a wildfire somewhere close. Supposed to be breezy and warm today.

HI TEE,

SUNNY AND MILD THIS MORNING, 54 DEGREES, GOING FOR 71.

NOTHING PRESSING, A TRIP TO THE PHARMACY, GROCERY STORE.

KARG ISLAND SHOULD BE DESTROYED. LET THEM STEW IN THEIR OWN CRUDE.

KEEP UP THE FIRE!

Morning guys...

When I had dogs the dust was way worse, plus the icky hair everywhere. I am still finding hair from the last one. Dust accumulates in our house immediately. I will dust then the next day or two later it looks just like I hadn't done anything for 3 weeks. I finally just give up on it. I can't stand it but no clue where it comes from. They say dust is your body shedding cells, but if that's the case I'd vanished long before now.
I'm also starting to clear clutter in our house. Most of the crap is mine, plus I shut down the flea booth a while back so that's some of it too. I've sold a few things here and there, have a gal supposed to meet me tonight to buy Arron's jeans he didn't like and never wore hardly. Have someone coming tomorrow for an old ipad I have that I hardly used, another Tuesday for an office chair I'm getting rid of, I have a ton of stuff. But at the same time, here I sit wishing I could take a look in that container full of stuff in case I might want something outta there lol
Cold here but the sun is out, tomorrow and Saturday are supposed to be nice.

All the defects around the house I blame on the dogs and there are plenty of them.

morning all.... Doc's sister is here so the place had to look perfect... I did the floors and dusted... the person who figures out how to eliminate dust in the house will be a rich man.... or woman.... I always thought we had a lot more dust then other people....

warm here today but windy and the cedar pollen is flying so I am mostly staying indoors but it isn't helping much.... will have to take drugs if it does not rain..... red flag fire warnings out....

don't take bad drugs Guru's......

HI TOMMY---

COLD HERE, 38 BUT SUNNY, 62 FOR THE HIGH.

PT AFTER NOON, PHARMACY PICK-UP. NEED TO TRY TO START PREPING THE BUMBLEBEE FOR TURNOVER TO #2 GRANDDAUGHTER.

ALWAYS FORWARD, AMIGOS!

I do housework as well since Sue is on the job. Dusting here is also carzy. Lots of dust in the area. So the floors and kitchen, batrooms and most things are cleaned but dusting is a pass most of the time. It protects the dustee from UV rays doesn't it. We are getting back into a "Throw it out mode". If it's old and useless get rid of it. Too much clutter. I dread the day my FIL dies. He has 3 rental warehouse units that have to be gone through. Most of it junk but he pays the monthly fees rather than deal with it. We didn't go the rental route. We bought sheds and a container for strorage. And there is a lot stored. Plenty of useless $#!+ in there.

Oh! We went to the casino yesterday after Sue's doctors appointment. (Her lung nodules are not cancerous.) They have a spin the wheel for freeplay with winners evey half hour. They called my name. I spun the wheel for freeplay up to $1500. I spun the wheel and turned my back to it saying I didn't want to see it. Hit the $1500. The free play has to be used the same day. So I played and played cashing out when I won something good and converted the freeplay into $1200 take home money. I'll take it. Sue won $200 at the tables so that was nice too. Remember .... I tell you about our winnings, not our losses. That's what gamblers do. Gamble on gurus.

Hello

Marcus I can agree to your arrangements, however dusting is the primary problem at my house lol. I live surrounded by fields. No critters and I quit worrying with windows long ago. Seriously, I do need to rope in a galpal I got and have her come do one good complete dusting over a weekend and reset me. I've found an event I want to go to Saturday that's 5 hours from me, so if I get to go, dusting won't happen this weekend either.

Hey guys, been busy this week. No snow, but quite a difference from the beautiful 78 and no wind yesterday to blustery cold north winds and 45 today. Supposed to be back into the 70s tomorrow.

Working on plans/bids for a project, finishing a couple other small jobs, trying to help #1 GS move out of his apartment/get rid of a bunch of stuff he doesn't need anymore. AND took GGD back to her mother Monday... so been a busy week.

Taking James over a little later to the 'city' so they can start on installing the new stereo head unit in the morning. I could take it over in the morning, but don't want to get out of bed tht early... and I have a few small things to repair t GSs apartment so will do those things today as well. My housecleaner (Rosie), won't compete for the job Marc, she'll be busy cleaning GS apartment for a few more days... Shampooing the rug today and probably tomorrow. All in the name of hoping to get deposit back... won't happen.

I will need an hour off for lunch and 2 mandated 15 min breaks throughout the day..... I have my own vac and other supplies..... I don't do dog or cat waste...... or windows.... and I hate dusting but will do it for a nominal fee.... billing will include tips..... UltraClean Housekeeping LLC

If you hire out for housework I'll send my address.
Cloudy here, rain off and on, due for some big storms but none so far, hope not. The shop here is full and nowhere to pull the truck in.

..woke up to snow on the ground this morning...still have the top down on the 5.... in the shop of course.... spring in Cornville... I think every newer car made has to have a recall these days... it's automatic... when did they forget how to make cars...

Doc's sister coming to visit.... the house is shining like a diamond... I'm pretty good at housework.... I should hire out.....

do housework Guru's

LIGHT OVERCAST, WINDY, 56-->62. MAY RAIN.

NEGATIVE REPORT FROM THE NATIONS.

ALLONS---AFTER NAP :-)

HI EVERYBODY---

I love old magazines, I have a handful of hotrod ones, Vette, and am now the owner of a shitton of 1968-80s Playboys. Someone got the good ones of course but I did find a few goodies. I did get the Donald Trump one and Bo Derek. Some of those go for good money, but I like to just have them. Am in search of Pam Anderson, Farrah and a few others.

I have a ton of old magazines also... Hot Rods, Corvette mags.... I finally take off the covers where my address and name is usually and take them to the Sheriff's dept for the convicts to read... they won't take them if they are stapled because the guests try to swallow those and kill themselves.... hey hey... it's the real sick world out there ya know....

Dumped a ton of magazines today that I kept in case somebody wanted them LOL. They're outa here. Found one of the two files I was looking for. The search continues.

GLOOMY MORNING HERE, OVERCAST, 70-->80.

PT AFTER NOON, BIG DAUGHTER COMING BACK, CAR TAG TO GET, I'D BETTER TAKE A PROPHYLACTIC NAP TO GET READY :-)

OFF AND ON, Y'ALL!

not top down weather for me, although it was supposed to be. Not today either. Rained during the night and is off and on, did yesterday. Weather man lied. I was in my own office yesterday all afternoon purging. I've not cleaned or did anything in there for at least two years. Oneta passed, sold her house after, then dog died, then we've had surgeries, I had cancer, you name it. Depression creeps up on you. I've just avoided that room all this time, but - I had a "squirrel" moment yesterday and was in there after something, next thing I know I'm deep cleaning and purging. Found 9 pairs of Arrons jeans I had planned to mend, they were really more than I wanted to mess with so found a lady to pick them up or crafting, that was a pile gone. I threw out two bags of crap including some old computer cables I will never need, old phone boxes, an old ipad case I have no idea what it fits, etc. Half the contents of one lower cabinet went in the trash too. Felt nice. I need to do the entire house, garage, shop and attic. It will be slow but it will eventually happen. I want to pare down to minimums but still keep some stuff I love.

yesterday top down weather but not today... with wind chill feels like 39... I enjoyed the topless ride though.... summer late night with the top down and a million stars.... the rumble of the small block making the background music... can't wait....

hop to it Guru's

Can't believe how the years are just flying by. I looked under the hood of my Suburban and saw the the battery was dated 11/22 Seems like I just put that battery in the last year or two. No matter. I still can only live one day at a time. Housework yesterday. I have to try and find closing papers for the nursery properties. The potential buyer wants to know if we have surveys. Unfortunately for me I save too much peperwork so I have to go through the mountain to find the mole hill. I'll find it. Maybe throw out some outdated stuff along the way. Then I'll play out in the yard. Couple of days worth out there for sure. Lots going on in the world but I'm doing my best to tune it out. Behind my fences there is peace and prosperity. Keep the guns loaded gurus.

Top o'the moanin to ya.

took my first drive in the 5 with the top down.... low 80's here today.... got a little air in my hair.... I was smiling ..... topless living Guru's

Good afternoon Gris, was nice here yesterday, was supposed to be today but it's gloomy, rained once already and now I hear thunder. Looks like my plans for today are shot. Not much this weekend, had doc appt Friday and ran an errand or two and came home. Slept in late Saturday and we just loafed around here. Yesterday was gloomy then the sun came out and it was beautiful, so we grabbed some late lunch takeout and headed to the local small lake to just sit in the sun and watch the geese. I planned to do some stuff outside today and then just sit in the sun but I'm in the house, and not in the mood to start anything at this point.

GOOD MORNING---

SUNNY, 64, 80 LATER. NICE!

BACK TO THE AUDIOLOGIST THIS AFTERNOON. BIG DAUGHTER GOING WITH ME.

7,7,lucky 7. I've been up tp my neck in household chores. Washed the dogs, went grocery shopping and right now cooking some chicken for dog and cat food. (people food too). Also doing laundry. Our pets are fortunate to have us and they pay us back with love, affection and an occasional turd on the carpet. May God's love be with you. If not you're S.O.L..

SPRING TIME IN OKLAHOMA: TREES, BUSHES, AND TORNADOS ARE IN BLOOM---

Sorry for not being here the past few days. Busy, busy, busy.
Sue has a spot at the annual Homestead Seafood Festival near the stage. We set her up today. W O R K is a 4 letter word. Last week I helped her south of Key Largo for the Garden Society show there. Looking forward to the sale of the nursey so I can retire retire even more. One interested party right now. They made an offer and we accepted but it's not a deal till the papers get signed.

..so I left here this morning and it was 62 degrees and humid.... I headed west 45 miles and half way there I hit a cold front and by the time I got where I was going it was 37 degrees...... yeah I did not have a coat.....

cloudy and warm here too, light rain off and on. No hail or any of the storms that we were told we'd get though so that's good. Hope pt is helping Gris. I hate going to those but they know best.
About to get the Mack truck out, it goes home tomorrow, more stuff coming in. Long as it keeps coming, we all can work, right?

Hope you are seeing some progress on the PT Gris.. or at least seeing some nice looking PT helpers....

cloudy and warm here also... no rain.... no snow in the mountains for runoff for irrigation next season... setting up to be a hardship to many farmers depending on that snow melt.

still waiting on my Mufflers.... they say by the 13th of this month....
