Good morning gang.

We got another inch of snow last night and the forecast is for another during the day today. The temps should reach the middle 20's today.

One week to go before the big guy gets here.

Word of the Day Tuesday, December 17, 2013

cathexis\ kuh-THEK-sis \, noun;

1. Psychoanalysis. the investment of emotional significance in an activity, object, or idea.

2. Psychoanalysis. the charge of psychic energy so invested.

Origin:

Cathexis ultimately comes from the Proto-Indo-European root segh- meaning "to hold." It entered English in the 1920s.

Morning guys....Drove the hour and aa half to watch my #2 grandson play ball yesterday and got home about 9:30. They lost the game by 1. They had a chance to win it, with 4 seconds left. Coach called a timeout and set up a play in which my GS would take the shot. It bounced off the rim twice but wouldn't go down. He was pretty bummed, but I was proud of him. #1GS plays tonight. Not quite as far to go, only an hour drive, but the game starts much later, probably 8:15, so it will be a long one today. FIL is out of the hospital and doing pretty well. Rosie is heading back this afternoon, Unless something else comes up. We will just meet at the ball game. Last regular day for classes this week. Tomorrow starts finals.

I'll try to check in later. Have a great guru day.

Howdy! Balmy out there today - it was 31, yes that's right, 31 degrees. A windshield washer fluid salesman's dream. Plenty sloppy out there on the road today.

Good luck to your GS, Tom - a shame about last night's game.

Maybe this explains Letty's plant problem:

Have a good day, everybody!

Energy....what I'm lacking right now.....after doing all my Christmas shopping yesterday.....didn't get home till 9 pm.

Tom I remember those Road trip days chasing the kids around to their ball games.....I always enjoyed it win or lose.....more if we won....2 hrs is a long trip....something to do with living out on the edge of the earth probably......

Weather has been outstanding with highs in the fortys...cold for Christmas though....snow is all gone.

Ordered some things for the Grand Sport but can't tell you untill Christmas.....

Got some work to do today then down to see my Ma in Kansas tomorrow.....then I will probably take some time off for the Holidays......Farmers don't want to do much over Christmas and New Years usually anyway....so its a good time to relax a bit....

Have a peaceful day Guru's.......tis the season to be jolly...

Tired? Count me in. I'm drained. Can't remember my last nap. Maybe I should create a new memory today. Just got back from the other house. I cleaned up the yard a little, sprayed some Round Up, did a little caulking and screened the pool. The A/C guy came by and cleaned the coil. Took the unit out and it had a slime experiment going strong. The appraiser also made an appearance. We hired an appraiser so we can find the real market value for the house based on local sales and comparisons. Now, there is really only two things that I could do over there and that would be wash the roof and replace the front door. Not gonna happen. I'm getting back to my routine again starting tomorrow. Clean house and spray Round Up at home, then Thursday I have a delivery. All the cars are calling for a quick once over. I went to the supermarket to pick up some cases of water, N/A beer and a couple other things. Came across some Maguires products at 50% off. Got three interior detailer spray bottles, an All Wheel Cleaner and some Tire Shine. I'm a sucker for 1/2 off or bogos. I have to buy them sometime so might as well buy them cheap(er). None of that stuff is cheap.

Possibility...that plant is in the same room as the cabinet that houses my router, modem, tv and printer, and the laptop sits within six feet of it.
And my cell phone is often on the nightstand...used to have a tv in there but I took it out

Evening guys...back from the ball game. Our boys didn't play all that well and came up short by 1 point. I'm usually not a complainer about officiating, but the officials tonight were the ones who decided the outcome of the game and that just isn't right. Like I said I'm not one who normally complains about these things as I know it's a tough job, but this one was flagrant.

GS had 11 points and probably as many, or more, rebounds. Time for bed. I'll catch you in the morning.

Just a murder/suicide

If it happened in a house, it would be just local news

More of the main stream media's agenda
