Had an early conference call at like 8 am..... holy moly I did not know it was light out at 8 am...... that's crazy getting up so early.... then I thought what the hay I may as well stay up and work in the office.... had to take a nap after lunch to make it through the day...... that and many cups of coffee...... can't do that all the time.....

keep the fires lit Guru's....

AR AR........ you must have had that skin lightning thing done you look almost like an older white guy.....

Not bad here and I am lingering over my second cup of coffee.... the older I get the more difficult it is to fire up and get going......

Have a choice day Guru's....

yeah that is all the Corvette anyone would ever need forever...... someday maybe........I will trade up........ it's making me think crazy thoughts........ I can resist anything except temptation.......

That's called duck dodge and hide Gris..... I always thought I was a master at it but after 35 years of wedded bliss she knows all my tricks..... I need more tricks...

working in the office today...its cold and windy but the sun is out.... kinda like winter.....

keep the hammer down Guru's....

sorry I just hit the button once........ clean up on isle 4 mods.....

Yeah I liked the movie also...... acting was great.....

I am doing all the floors today....... and now am on my mandated break time..... then back at it...... I love the wood floors but they need maintenance to look their best.........

after that a nap and got a big old roast in the crockpot with veggies.... yummmm.......

have a fine day Guru's

Hi, my name is Marcus and I don't know how to post.

Have a wonderful time..... pick me up a new Sig 45 would ya.....then give it to me for Christmas...... you are the best.....

I am home along today with a credit card and unlimited internet.... this could be dangerous if I wasn't know for my steadfastness and good judgement.... hmmm..... I better call CCA....credit card anonymous so they can get me through this....... Amazon is not your friend...... ok....

I do have to clean up the old 94 chevy sampling truck which is a mud ball right now..... get it ready to store away for the winter..... must put Stabil in everything.....

Have a cool day Guru's.....

I'm having a great day.....thanks......

brakes went out on the old 94 Cheby mean green sampling machine...... had to take the back roads into town....it had some brakes but not much....the wrong peddle was going to the metal..... they have not called yet so must be worse than I thought....

have a very pleasant day Guru's.....

Good Morning fellow travelers...... sun is out and I am headed out to work in the fields before it gets to muddy..... ground is froze a bit now so not so muddy....

not much else to report.... more later as it develops...... have a nice day Guru's.....

Is this the phone store Matt.....

Keep those funnys coming Gris.....I post them elsewhere....

Upper 40's here today....was out soil testing until it got to greasy on top.... go out early when it is still froze a bit and come in about noon looks like the next few days....

have a day Guru's...

No kidding...... I like the part about the women did all the work..... uh don't tell my wife I said that.........

sun is out but its cold.... holiday is over and its back to normal...got work to do so better get with it......

Went to see Ford Vrs Ferrari last night and enjoyed it. Well acted and although they took liberalities with the story it made for a good movie. I recommend it....even my wife liked it.....

Have a sparkling day Guru's.....

Yeah.....I remember 2020 was going to be the future with flying cars or teleportation........ not going to happen......maybe by 3020...... 2020 is a milestone for me as I will begin my 7th decade on this rock..... for the time being I am going to just keep doing what I'm doing until I don't want to do it anymore......... lots of things I want to do yet.....

very windy and cold and some snow blowing........ good day to stay inside by the fire watching some football........

stay warm Guru's.....

Sunny here also...... got nothing much to do other than nap and bitch about Husker football....... nothing unusual there.....

Guess I will head out to the shop and clean it up a bit...... I'm kinda the type that leaves the tools lay after I fix something and that is not good............ don't tell Matthew ..... he is like a tool neat freak I'm sure........

Have a happy day Guru's......

tough loss to Iowa in the last seconds....... no bowl game for us this year........ nuts.......

Outside its like 32 degrees with fog and sleet coming down that is supposed to get worse as the day goes by..... instead of stying in by the fire with some flannel pj's on I will suit up to go watch our beloved Huskers do battle with the most hated Iowa Hawkeyes...... game time is 1:30 pm and the temp will be 34 degrees and 90% chance of rain....... lovely...... still the stadium will be full to capacity of 90K rabid fans fueled in part by warming spirits as we long for victory so we can be bowl eligible....... Go Big Red!

The house is quite now as the hoards descended on us and ate everything in sight then left when the bird was picked clean to the bones...... the girls were up early with excited mad chatter as they headed into the maze they call Black Friday...... no weather was bad enough to stop them...... We men think they are crazy and they think we are crazy to go and sit out and watch a ball game in all this....... they are probably right.....

Have a warm flannel day Guru's......

Glad to not be traveling today.....it's snowing out but everyone is here and the turkey is browning and I peeled 10 lbs of spuds for the mashed potatoes....... always thankful for the crew here at Guru..... praying you have a great day today and everyday...... I find like Gris that staying out of the way is sound advice......

Quote:


Excellent idea.....and the nearest HD is 50 miles away so that should buy me more time..... the only thing is the gutter is hanging right down in the dinning room window were we will all be looking at it while eating Thanksgiving dinner...... and I have been told that will not be happening........

Yeah....I get that but then it becomes part of your "collection" which over the years will include a car from all the Generations of Corvettes........ am I right? I'm sure I am.......

Atta boy Bob..... good job! I am still stunned that John is going to part with his 85....... it has left me confused and somewhat sad..... how can this be? I keep asking myself...... Why? Why? is the other thing I find myself thinking...... then it hit me....... they need room to put that C8 in and the C4 got the ax........ no that I can understand....

Nice BB gun Gris but won't hold a candle to my 1938 Daisy Red Ryder.... 350 ft/sec....... classic.......

Half the front rain gutter has fallen down and the other half is still up.....so my wife expects me to go fix it before it rains for 2 days..... I'm like...... Really?....... nuts.......

Have a day of merriment Guru's....

snowing sideways outside right now...... that is not a good thing...

spent all day sampling yesterday trying to get ahead of this storm coming..... got a lot done and now am taking a day to recover from it...... I can work right along with the best of them but the recovery is a bitch.....

I think its a good 2 nap day as the blizzard rages..... the wood bin is full for the fireplace and there is plenty of coffee and good eats..... I even have the snowblower primed and ready......

keep the fires lit Guru's......

Wow....nice trip.... I'm thinking its getting late in the year for a long trip but you guys went and did it.... Nice! thinking you did not have on summer tires on the Louis...

The Big Red finally won a football game over hapless Maryland.... there is joy and dancing in the camps......

Will be nice here today also..... Seattle Girl made it home for Thanksgiving with news of a new promotion at work..... atta girl!

today I need to rest up and get ready for week..... did the floors yesterday and now my back is sore....... floors look great though....

Have a smooth day Guru's

Did a nice avoidance sleep in...... trying to hide from all the chores my beloved has for me to do....... but alas I cannot hide forever so better get to it.......

safe travels Gris...... hope you enjoy your thanksgiving everyone.... we will have everyone home and that is a good thing....

and what is up wid dis Tesla pickup????

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpRD0gxUkB0

On the East side of Chicago someone stole all the tires off the police vehicles parked in the parking lot. Station detectives are said to be working the case tirelessly.

Kinda cold out......no rain or snow though.... I have been tasked with getting the house ready for the Holidays..... I am not motivated at all..... I need to start wid De floors and then move on to other stuff.... all the kids coming home for Thanksgiving.... and the wife is up to her pretty neck in teaching and her classes.... actually I have 2 kids in college right now...... Uboy who is just finishing up his degree and Uwoman working on her Doctorate.....

The key to staying in the game is stretching and some resistance training..... like lifting weights.... and walking and being active.... don't ever sit down and lose 20 pounds ....... see nothing to it.....

Better get with it...... have an illuminating day Guru's.....

Same here wid the weather..... looks like an office day for me....

I have always found I can give myself the best gifts on my B-day.....

The little 250 Honda Scrambler is coming together....got some new pieces for it as the restoration moves forward..... parts are available on ebay but sometimes the hard to find pieces are pricy ......

Onward and upward Guru's......

Well hopefully Gris, they had the deer field dressed in the ditch by the time the cops got there and with their help hung up in a tree until they could come back to get it....

Cloudy here but still warm. That is fixing to end as the rain cometh along with the low 40 temps......

Can not believe we are burning through November as fast as we are....... Keep the hammer down Guru's...

get the hook for the bad duck jokes......

I was fortunate to spend a couple of summers in Florida back in the 60's...... before Disney, before the Moon trips out of Canaveral. I remember a TV show called Surf Side 6 which was a detective show with Troy Donahue who based out of a Houseboat on Miami beach....... I remember staying at the Fontainbleau Hotel back in 64 when it was the hot spot on the beach....we also could visit the Surf Side 6 houseboat they used to film the series....... I can remember going to Silver Springs and Weeki Watchee springs and of course Daytona beach when they still drove on the beach....... lots of memories of the old Florida...before the dark times......

I hope to live long enough to spend some winters there over on the Gulf coast..... experience some Salt Life..... I will leave a small footprint...I promise......

Ok time to get to work now....... don't be lollygagging

I also slept in.... Uwoman is attending a class as she pursues her higher level of education..... so that leaves me alone at home..... with a credit card and a computer...... hmmm..... I better be careful.....

Sun is out and looks like it will be around 50 or so..... I am going to split some wood that I gathered from out tree line..... ask me tomorrow how I feel.......

Have the finest of days Guru's.....

Huskers got upset ........ again....... we are 4 wins and I lost track of the losses......... I have lost all hope...... not really...... we can still get to a bowl game with 2 more wins......and we have only 2 more games..... nuts....

Headed to the big chair now.....

Haha....made me laugh...... did copy it to another site.... I agree the lower back is not designed well....... did not they know we would be lifting heavier stuff then we should lift? and doing that for years and years....... I have found a new bone cruncher that knows his stuff so he keeps me going..... along wid ibuprofens and hot baths......

I have found that stretching helps and keeping limber is important to my aches and pains....

Yeah I been wanting to see the Big Boy train as it has been by here several times but I have not been where I can see it....... I hear its worth the trip to see it.....

Have a jocular day Guru's....

Apparently this comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70yrs experience. It has an indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me . This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint and it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 =98%

And K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 =96%

But, A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 =100%

And, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T = 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 =103%

Look how far ass kissing will take you. A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G = 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.

Now you know why some people are where they are!

Weather is as good as it gets in November so I better make the best of it. It will only get colder right?

Got nothing new to report...... have a swell day Guru's..

We are starting a warming trend here...be in the 40's today and heading for the 50's by the weekend.... I cannot complain about dat....

took my mechanic out for for lunch at the Mexican food place yesterday. He does an excellent job on my vehicles and I'm finding I am having him do more and more these days the older I get. We had a great chat about the old days.....

With the cold snap over its back to work soil testing..... have a bodacious day Guru's......

a balmy 3 degrees here but the sun is out.... and I like that better also.... Just working along on stuff.....supposed to be in the 60's again the latter part of the week..... and I'm all for that....

Not much else going on.... global cooling and global warming.... climate change.... all politics at this point, old mother earth will do what she will do and we are just along for the ride. I do know that there is money in climate change for research and development for green stuff..... so do all you want to bring on the green but don't mess with my fossil fuels...... I love dem fossil fuels....

Have a day of no remorse my bruthas......

Ya...the other shoe dropped here also..... after being 72 on Saturday and 40's yesterday it was like 15 degrees this morning and snowing.... oh yeah and did I mention the wind is blowing also..... geez....

We don't believe in snow tires out here..... In 4 wheel drive we trust....

Sorry about the shrinking gun shows Gris..... everyone must be bought up..... I know it's like a war wagon around our place..... got guns everywhere..... I still see a couple I would like to have though.... my problem is its getting hard to find places to shoot them......

Have a super fine day Guru's.......

ha....funny....I will have to tell that to people.....

Headed into church this morning.....not as warm as yesterday when it got up to 72 degrees...... but the sun is out and we can take in the 56...

Then back to cleaning up the tree line and harvesting wood for the fireplace this winter..... kinda turned into a real job...... nuts....

Have a blessed day Guru's.....

Waazzzup kids? Busy day yesterday.... and its supposed to be in the upper 60's today..... and only 25 on Monday...
geez....

Went to the Doc and had some blood work done.... it all came back good. My cholesterol was at 130 which is an all time low for me......Doc asked what I was doing different and I told the only thing I know is that I have been buying older more pricey whiskey...... he said to keep it up.... so it's Doctors orders now....

Have a day Guru's

I do not know either but the gas company says they have data to show NG is a better deal..... I do know that you can get into price fluctuations on both. I do like being somewhat independent with the propane.... comes down to the numbers I guess..... more later

I do know that if we ever sold the place the propane would be not as attractive to buyers as NG...... folks now days just want it to be there and not to worry about how much Propane is in the tank or if to contract some or not. Or like has happened to us the route driver forgot us and we ran out last winter.... that is always a treat to get everything back up and going.....

I got some great tires for ya Tee.... if you don't mind them sticking out of the fenders a bit..... cheap too.....

We used to have a place here on the acreage where we could shoot our weapons but that all ended with the housing development being built around us. Now I don't know where we would go to shoot other than a shooting range in Lincoln..... I do enjoy shooting our hand guns.... I have a new AR-15 Saint 5.56 and have never even put a round through it........ no that's just not right.... gotta find a place I can shoot the long guns...... Kinda like Tommy never driving his cars.....

I am reading The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by Alex Epstein.... just getting into it.... I am getting ammunition for when all the kids come home for the holidays talking their talk.......

Thinking of switching our heating source from Propane to natural gas now that the supply runs right along our west border for all the new houses around us....... we will see.....

It was 13 degrees here this morning..... and will be 68 on Saturday.... that's what life is like in Cornville.........

Have a finest day Guru's.....

No napping here...got to get the work done.... sun is out and there is a breeze.... need to mow up the leaves because the fall weed and feed lawn app is going on today.....and I want it to hit the grass....

I better get to it..... have a dandy Guru's....

You can't fix stupid....... so I see that Elizabeth Warren has a new 52 trillion dollar plan for health care for all....... all the federal taxes paid last year amounted to 3.3 trillion dollars..... and she say's she won't raise middle class taxes to fund it....... hmmm...... does not the only money the Government have come out of our pockets or are they doing car washes and bake sales on the side to raise money? I forgot..there is the money they are borrowing and the money they print with nothing behind it....... can't forget those......

Sorry Liz.....it ain't gonna fly.....

On a happier note my Trumpsters economy is rolling along with the Dow hitting a new high yesterday..... atta boy Mr. Pres........

time to go to work boys and girls...... have to save them pennies and save them dimes....... might want to get a new C8 in a couple of years....... work work work......save save save........

10-4 on the Jane Fonda Memorial....I see she is back in the news getting arrested at protests....

Nice weather out....I need to get some outside work done today..... catch you on the flip flop.....

Whoa there Tee..... I never heard that the insurance companies won't insure because of maybe it's asbestos siding..... are all the insurance companies doing that? It's not like its a school or a church where folks gather....... weird...... that's a lot of work..... if my back wasn't sore I would come down and help you......

It may mess with my clock but the dogs are on daylight time..... they are getting me up at 0 dark 30 and around here its all about the dogs.......

Don....from yesterday's chat..... We dropped Direct TV after 20 some years with them...even all the way back to when they were PrimeStar and had the bigger dish in the back yard. We went with the Roku set up on all our TV's..... mainly because we can get them cheap at Wal-Mart. I did get the 4K set up for the new Samsung big screen.

I like it way better then the Sat TV and its like half the cost and we get anything we want to watch even the local channels..... We have Netflix and Prime and CBS all Access.....all without any ads.... We also have Hulu live and now I see for a few bucks more I can get Hulu live without any ads also..... I hate ads..... Haystack TV for the local news and weather..... but get most of that off my iPhone these days. My problem is there is too many good things to watch all the time....so I have to make sure I'm not Binge watching all the time......

as long as you have good internet its the only way to go.........

Not much going on today other that finishing the stuff I started yesterday.......

Huskers lost again....but that is not news.....

Keep the shiny side up Guru's.....
