Good morning, sunny and beautiful here again today, would be nice to be home. I got stuff to do. Got things wrapped up here on the two big last minute jobs yesterday, one printed, one waiting, quotes given, you name it. Went home to do a bunch more stuff while Arron was outside building me a temporary greenhouse. Went to get a bone density test Monday and she called with that result on my way to work. Ostopenia - stage before osteoperosis. I refuse to let shit get me down. My last 35 years has been filled with drama, stress, abuse, one issue after another, just getting past losing family, then a dog then a kidney, still dealing with hip issues - I refuse to let this stick to me. Wasn't how I wanted to start my day. Oh well, at least I'm on the upside of the daisies.
Tommy - no word on your son? I saw the post from yesterday, still praying for all of you.

NO BUFFALO ROAMING AND THE SKY WILL BE CLOUDY ALL DAY---
71, OVERCAST, WET, SEMI-GLOOMY. 77 IS THE PREDICTED HIGH.

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT WILL BE A FLU SHOT.

SUCH AN EXCITING LIFE WE LEAD :-)

ST CRISPIN’S DAY 1415 KING HENRY V BEAT HELL OUT OF THE FRENCH AT AGINCOURT.

Got some help from a Miami news station.


https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade ... -missing-45-year-old-man/

Good afternoon, been MIA as usual over the weekend except this time I didn't do much of anything, just sat around outside and relaxed my mind sort of. Ran my hind ed off Friday running errands here in town, then Sat and Sunday just sat around with Arron. He's usually gone working somewhere but was home this weekend so we just rested outside in the sun. He jumped in the 60* pool then jumped right back out one day tho. Monday I had things to do at home then doc appts that afternoon then he came home and we were both tired so tv an napping then it's Tuesday.
Did get a text from my DARE guy tho and he brought the truck over so I could see it and get my own photos. Then he giggled and opened that one side door. Said it could be a dual-use vehicle lol. Wasn't planned but not sure I could have planned it that well anyhow.
Finished up an ambulance and had to do some corrective work on a trailer side that a "design firm" sent over to me so it could print. Of course they want it yesterday cause they can't plan right, no clue that we have other things going besides their job, several others ahead of them. That's society for you now though, me me me -

Can I be to helping you please?

GOOD LUCK WITH THE WITCH-DOCTORS TEE.

SLEPT IN THIS MORNING. IT'S A WET 67 HERE, GOT JUST ENOUGH RAIN TO LAY THE DUST. MORE TO COME THEY SAY, HIGH OF 77.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA OTHER THAN CHANGING THE MOTHBALLS IN THE STANDBY CARS :-) THIS COULD BE A TWO NAP DAY.

GOT RAIN IN THE FORECAST EVERY DAY THIS WEEK, COOLING OFF SATURDAY. SOUNDS LIKE OUR PRETTY OCTOBER WEATHER IS OVER.

Up and around, upper 50s now, headed to mid 80s they say.

We have doctor appointments this morning to review our bloodwork. Hopefully get some things squared away.

Morning guys...

finally got the internet up and going in the shop.... the customer care folks in India said the worker guys would be here on Saturday and someone had to be here..... so hung around close all day which was not hard since Huskers were on all afternoon and evening..... nobody showed up and India put me on indefinite hold... should switch out to someone else but I know what a nightmare that would be..... and who can understand the CC folks in India?

anyway hopefully we will be up and good for a long time. nice here today 75 and breezy.... got work to do... be cool Guru's...

MAYBE IN FLORIDA, BUT HERE IT'S SLOW TO GET GOING.

64 ON THE FRONT PORCH, NOT QUITE SUNNY, VERY SLIGHT BREEZE.

GUESS I'LL GO AHEAD AND ROTATE CARS, MAYBE IT WON'T RAIN AS MUCH AS FORECAST THIS WEEK.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA.

MY BEST TO YOU, GURUS!

ME TOO.

Health mojo sent for Rosie. Hope she's feels better soon. I wish Covid would go find some cold dark bat cave to go hide in.

U of M and Clemson game had a nail biter ending last night. Watched it on the big screen at Hard Rock Hollywood last night. Something for the fans in SoFlo to cheer about after the coaches threw the last two games by making critical errors. Go Dolphins. I'm watching football a little more this year after I walked away from the kneelers a few years back.

Morning guys.... Missed yesterday. Rosie was feeling stopped up and coughing, so she took a Covid test...POSIIVE...surprise, surprise. That meant I was kept a bit busier with the GGD. Washed the pickup in prep for todays trip north to return GGD to her momma. Grandma (#2) watched GGD for a while late afternoon, so I could go to church. While I was gone she gave GGD a Covid test (she was fussy, runny nose and coughing a little) she is positive as well.

The night went pretty well, she was up for while, but really doesn't seem to be all that sick. (fingers crossed emoji).

Gris, the style is, kind of, Mission, kind of, Shaker. Simple clean lines. I like those simple lines.

Also dog sitting neighbors two dogs while they travel north to Nebraska and east to Wichita to see their kids over the weekend. GGD loves the dogs when we go down there. She wants to play with them. I think she is missing her pup.

Well, need to start getting things together for our two hour trip north.....

Morning Gris.... ya our good weather is coming to an end here... where the hell did October go? I just said that about September.... Amazing work on the boxes and tables Teeb...I love that wood....

Big wins for the Husker football and Volleyball teams yesterday so the coffee shops will be buzzing all week and everyone is happy.... if they win that means we all must be winners... right?

flip someone off today Guru's........ wait it's Sunday... belay that....wait until Monday...

SEMI-SUNNY, CALM, 60 DEGREES GOING FOR 80. THAT'S A TEMPERATURE RANGE I COULD LIVE WITH ALL YEAR!

THE ARKIES ARE GONE BUT NOT THE BRISKET. BACK STORY: WHILE DEFROSTING THE FREEZER DW DISCOVERED A LARGE BRISKET THAT HAD BEEN LURKING IN THE BOTTOM FOR YEARS, PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WAS TOO BIG TO SERVE. THE PREHISTORIC CUT COOKED UP VERY NICELY AND TASTES GOOD. EVEN THE BOYS COULDN'T EAT IT ALL.

GOT THE DOGHOUSE WINTERIZED. THE ARKIES ARE URBAN CHILDREN. #6 GRANDSON, WHO IS BIG ENOUGH TO HUNT BEAR WITH A WILLOW SWITCH, WAS TOTALLY PERPLEXED AS TO HOW TO HANDLE A BALE OF STRAW :-O

THEY ARE FORECASTING RAIN ALL NEXT WEEK; MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S WORTH IT TO SWITCH CARS TOMORROW.

KEEP ON KEEPING ON, GURUS.

HI, Y'ALL---

did some chainsaw work this morning and other chores.... now watching the Huskers working away at trying not to get upset..... big Volleyball game tonight with #1 Wisconsin against #2 Huskers.... Wisconsin owns us as they have won the last 10 meetings.... everyone knows we are a Volleyball school....

perfect fall day here..... enjoy Guru's

LOL. I've been a little short with people lately especially when they seem confused about resolving what I consider to be simple problems. Like the ya mons say. There are no problems, only solutions.

Not a big fan of living under pressure. So here is my alternative.

SUNNY, CALM, AND 54 HERE, MAY CLOUD UP LATER, THEY SAY, HIGH TO BE 84.

ARKIES DUE IN ABOUT 1100, GRANDMA IS COOKING A BIG BRISKET. I DOUBT THE BOYS WILL LEAVE MUCH IN THE WAY OF LEFTOVERS :-)

I'LL DRAGOON THEM INTO WINTERIZING THE DOGHOUSE, MAYBE CHANGE TOPS ON HARVEY.

TEE, WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT FURNITURE STYLE?

DOG IS FED, WITH ANY LUCK I WILL BE TOO.

ENJOY YOUR DAY, AMIGOS!

GOOD MORNING---

Het guys, did finish the tables today, completely finished. Made the trip over to the 'city' to let GS (his day off) to have several hours 'play time' with GGD. Rosie and I did our weekly shopping.

The chests I built, will be finished by client.





These are the auction tables I finished today.

..internet out in the shop so making do from the house... it was 85 here today so I decided to take a 3 day weekend and do some riding.... beautiful fall foliage so was a nice time out.... looks like some winter coming in next week... just in time for me heading for Denver for meetings..... I will have the big Duramax so not worried about it.....

got painting to do outside tomorrow.... looking forward to that .... not....

live large Guru's....

CLEAR, CALM, 50 DEGREES THIS MORNING. 81 THE PREDICTED HIGH THIS AFTERNOON.

WILL MAKE A RUN TO TAHLEQUAH TO CHECK FOR DINOSAUR BONES. THEY HAVE BEEN OUT OF STOCK FOR A WHILE AND I AM DOWN TO MY LAST ONE. TROUBLE WILL BE HEART BROKEN IF WE RUN OUT.

OTHER WISE NOTHING ON THE AGENDA---THE DOG IS CALLING AND I MUST GO :-)

Goomornin.

Drizzly and grey outside. Not too motivated right now so I'll have to dig deep to find my get up and go before it got up and went. I always have things to do. It's always just a matter of doing them. 5 more days before I can resume heavier lifting and more strenuos activity. Playing by the rules here. Though rain may change my course of action to undercover activities.

GOOD MORNING TO YOU---

Hey guys, beautiful day here. Headed to the shop about 8:30 and finished up the two chests. Then worked on the auction tables until quitting for supper. Should finish up construction of those tomorrow and start the finishing process.

...Pat Paulsen.... didn't I vote for him for president one time? that's funny.... no kidding see what happens when you open up the borders.....

A CO-WORKER ONCE TOLD ME: "IT WAS GREAT. ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS HUNT, FISH, GAMBLE. AND STEAL HORSES. THE WOMEN DID ALL THE WORK. THEN YOU WHITE PEOPLE CAME AND FU*KED EVERYTHING UP."

Good morning, cold early then we're due to hit 80 next few days. Would love to be off to enjoy it while it lasts. Need to start thinking about getting plants inside and debugged and junk. I hate that part. Good looking kiddo Tee, precious.
Tommy, still praying for you, I can't imagine how all that must feel.
Got a last minute situation on a trailer, and they claim they sent art and their designer didn't cause he said he had a low resolution problem. I run into that a lot from "college grad" designers. They want to put photos on the side of a 30ft trailer but work off a 12" layout and I can't make it look good blowing it up. That stuff is basic. They want the trailer by 10/30 and I won't even be back here till 10/23 to work on it. No way I can get print ready if I am the one having to do all that photoshop work, I have other things besides them to work on also with deadlines. People drive me nuts.

Buenos dias, mein herr und herren.

Warming slightly. Mid 80's during the afternoon. Mornings and evenings are nice in the low to mid 70's. Trying my best to do a few things while avoiding heavy lifting. I'm sore in the surgical area by the end of the day but I figure I have to move if I'm gonna get better. Sonny-boy is weighing on my mind which doesn't help matters. No news as of yet of his whereabouts. Just gonna keep moving forward one day at a time.

Morning guys... Been up with the little cutie since 5am. Sure was cute at that time....

THE SUN'S COMING UP, IT'S CALM AND 46 OUTSIDE. HIGH WILL BE 75, THEY SAY.

GOING BACK TO MUSKOGEE TO PICK UP BABY DAUGHTER'S BD GIFT, THE EAR THINGIES HAVE COME IN. BOUGHT A QUARTER BEEF, BUT DW HAS TO DEFROST THE FREEZER FIRST :-O

TEE, THAT GGD SURE IS A CUTIE!

GUT MORGAN, AMIGOS---

Hey guys, beautiful day here again. Worked in the shop all morning. Working on my donation project for the pheasants group auction and a clients' two blanket chests. This afternoon my stainless steel eye hooks came in so we went down to the storage shed and to install the curtains on the new awning. Still thinking I need to close up the West end (open end) with a curtain.

GGD has been a perfect angel. She absolutely LOVES being with grandpa and cries when I leave without her, that's why I'm posting so late...we had to put her in bed before I could get on the computer.

I'll call 911 when needed. Call me whatever you want. LOL

Yep discipline is the missing main ingredient in today's world along with church IMHO. Folks are no longer taught respect of others or others' property/possessions. And, if you call the cops when you need to, society labels you a Karen or a Kyle or cop caller, etc and it's a negative toward you. Totally ass backwards. I have had to start over too many times for me to live comfortably in my old age, but I'm determined to have my peace one way or another, and I have a piece in ever room in my house if I need to use it to make sure I get my peace.

This is what happens when a nation lacks discipline. Runaway renegades supporing God know what. Morals .... do they teach those anymore? I'm not saying that I'm an angel but when you stepped out of line you used to get a Look..... I'm an old hippie that did time in the military and spent his years scrimping and saving so I could live my elder years in peace and harmony. There is no peace and there is no harmony. Except of course in my yard and around my house where I am the Imperial Ruler, defender of all that is right, and will back it up by whatever means are necessary. All hail.

..these are the times that try men and women's souls... everyone is pretty much off their game right now...with the eastern world...it is explodin....tempers flaring, bullets loaden..... that reminds me of a song... and Bidenomics pissing everyone off... along with 10 million illegals that have stormed our wide open gates.... WTF.... you reap what you sow.... how many terrorists have we in our midst now...

Haahaha.... no Teeb we love travelling and hanging out wid you guys.... in fact we need to get something going for next season..... been awhile....

ok...it's not all gloom and doom right Guru's.... thank the Lord we got guns and know how to use them....

Good morning, cold out but warm later. Supposed to have a gal come up here to buy a rug off me, of course I left it at home. Messaged Arron to bring it on his way back from lunch. Reminds me I need to tell him to wad it up and put it in the cab considering the grease in the bed of the truck. I got all my people taken care of yesterday and even got that ambulance proofed early, so am in a waiting pattern. Just soon stay that way today, not much sleep so not on top of my game. My client on that tho is an enjoyable dude, he's a transplanted Brit. Just like talking to one of the dudes on that show Top Gear. I could listen to him all day long.
Yeah, traveling with others requires sacrifices, sharing and give/take. I don't know what it is about losing a kidney but I STILL don't have all my energy back and that was a ton of driving so I was tired. And, when I'm at the beach, on rainy days I do like to go eat, or shop, but then I like to come to the room, open the doors and just sit there and nap or read. I don't like to run around every day and I'm sure not getting off my hind end and outa my beach chair at 3:30 to go eat and miss half my day in the sun. I also like to try different foods and I understand one place's fried oysters might not taste like another place but I'm sure not gonna make a scene at a restaurant and tell them my food is shitty and refuse to tip a waitress. I called out on that one, it's not her fault the kitchen messed up or that her taste buds dont' like their seasonings, etc. We usually have a good trip, not sure what was up her butt on this go around.

HI TOMMY---

NOT SO COLD HERE THIS MORNING, 54 OUT FRONT, SUN COMING UP CLEAR, A LITTLE BREEZE. GOING TO HIT 78 THEY SAY.

GOT BD GIFT FOR BABY DAUGHTER, ANTIQUE BIRTHSTONE RING + NEW MADE EAR THINGIES. ALSO MADE A GOOD BUY ON A UNIQUE, EXTRAVAGANT RING FOR #1 GRANDDAUGHTER'S CHRISTMAS. BEEN WORKING ON THE PRICE FOR A WHILE.

TODAY'S TASK: GET BALE OF STRAW TO RE-WINTERIZE THE DOG HOUSE. THE ARKIES ARE COMING THIS WEEKEND SO I'LL HAVE SONE HELP.

AND IN THE LAND OF POLITICAL POLICE AND KANGAROO COURTS:
JUDGE CALLS TRUMP COMMENTS “A GRAVE THREAT TO COURT PROCEEDINGS” ---ENGLISH TRANSLATION: HE MIGHT DERAIL OUR RAILROAD.

KEEP UP THE FIRE, AMIGOS!

When I just wrote the date I was like ... WHAT??? Where the hell did THIS month go. It's almost All Hallow's Eve. I want to do some chores but battle to do them. I'm trying to stay as low profile as possible for another week as the doc said I can resume activities 4 weeks after surgery. Yep. Next Wed. will be 4 weeks. Time flies when you're having fun. Hell, time flies when you're not having fun. Tempus fugit. Have to work on my bucket list because right now my bucket is empty.

G'morn.

Hey guys,

.... wait a minute Marc, we've travelled together.......

Chilly start here, but warmed right up. We have GGD for the week. GD-in-law getting moved, so we are watching her until Sunday. She didn't sleep too well last night, so, neither did we.

Made a trip to the 'city' to give GS some of the things GD-in-law took with her... microwave, extra pillows, a vacuum and an old Lazy Boy. He's doing pretty well, or at least is putting on a pretty good show.

I did get a little work in at the shop after we got back.

Happy Birthday Andy..... what a great present...
