Being a true curmudgeon at heart I always have a tale of whoa, complaint or aggravation beckoning at my doorstep. Today is no different. After a good days work lodging a full press ant assault and washing the truck fleet I meandered into the abode thinking I might have only a couple of pond related tasks to engage then call it a day. What was I thinking? Standing up a fallen mangrove tree that had fallen off it's perch proved to be daunting. The tree had grown considerably since I last moved it. The branches were soaked. Attempting to right the tree proved to be an impossible task weighing heavily on my already aching back. Sue trimmed the tree and I threw the branches out of the pond. We got the tree to a manageable state where we righted it, secured it and now there was a considerable mess of debris from the pot and leaves from the cutting spread across the pond. Cleaned up as much of the mess as possible. This job I thought would take but a few minutes turned into an hour and a half. Still, there was another job in the pond that needed attention. The mermaid fountain had a couple of plugged outlets. A half hour of flushing and cleaning the lines brought her back to maiden form. Finally we could wrap up and call it a day. Sue asked me 'Why do you have to get so Grumpy?" I told her it might have something to do with working so late on a Sunday. She quipped "Well we got a lot of things done." Well, that we did. Stay turned for part II

Part II
Well, we called it a day and after a refreshing shower we retired to the family room for a left over lasagna dinner. (No complaint there. Left over lasagna tastes better than fresh) Watched an episode and a half of Bloodline on NETFLIX and found our way to the pillows. In the middle of the night I had this strange dream about pissing blood. Not just a little blood but a gusher of blood streaming forth. A short while later I got a middle of the night urge to purge. I went to the toilet and thought, did I piss blood last time I pissed? Soon I found relief in that there was no red the swirling about the bowl. Whew! That woulda sucked. I returned to my pillow and locked down another few hours of zzzzzzz's. The dogs came in marching there usual parade trying to get me up at 07:00 AM but I implored them to let me sleep for just a little while longer. After I ignored their further attempts they settled down an I was able to score an extra hour of needed rest. I got up, made my coffee and went out to the back patio when I noticed an odd silence from the mermaid and water jets along with the whining of a pump motor. The pump filter was full of debris and no water was getting through. Luckily the pump survived. As I was cleaning the filter basket, still sleepy eyed, I dropped the hose on the ground. SSshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The nozzle had made a perfect landing into the full open position sending a jet stream up my gym shorts pant leg soaking one whole side. Now a little more awake than I was just a few short seconds ago I continued on with cleaning the drains and restarting the pump. A new day. Lets see what other surprises I might have in store.

Morning guys...slept in a bit this morning myself. It is reasonably cool out now, 70, and predicted high of upper 80s, but I'm sure we have the humidity too, so will feel much warmer.

That hose up the pant leg is humorous Tommy. About like my foray in washing the pickup yesterday, I dropped the hose and it opened up fully on me, drenching me pretty good. Didn't complain as it was hot. Just a shocker when not expecting it.

Getting some updates now from Marcus. Will post them in the other thread.

RAINED OFF & ON SINCE O400, A LITTLE OVER AN INCH SO FAR.

BIG BROWN DOE AND TWINS ARE GRAZING IN THE FRONT YARD. IT'S SO HUMID THE WINDOWS ARE FOGGED UP, BUT NOT QUITE 80 DEGREES SO IT'S NOT BAD ON THE FRONT PORCH.

MARCUS IT'S ALWAYS A SHOCK WHEN A GROWN PERSON SAYS"I CAN'T DRIVE". TO US HICKS IN FLY OVER COUNTRY IT BORDERS ON PERVERSION. BACK AT THE END OF THE NEW STONE AGE, WHEN I WAS IN AOB AT FT KNOX, I HAD A DATE WITH A LOUISVILLE GIRL ONE SATURDAY. WE WERE LOOKING FOR A MOVIE TO GO TO, FOUND ONE WE LIKED, AND I STOPPED IN FRONT, JUMPED OUT, AND TOLD HER TO GO AROUND THE BLOCK WHILE I FOUND OUT WHAT TIME IT STARTED. WHEN I HAD FOUND OUT FROM THE TICKET TAKER I TURNED AROUND AND MY CAR WAS STILL SITTING THERE BLOCKING TRAFFIC. "WHY DIDN'T YOU GO AROUND THE BLOCK?" "I CAN'T DRIVE."

NEVER DATED HER AGAIN :-)
