G'mornin.

Wow! Yesterday was one of those days where everything you touch and stuff you don't touch stop working right or don't work out as you thought they would. Left me feeling glad the day was ending. Late in the evening as I walked by the central A/C air handler I heard this gurgling sound. Gurgling sounds are not good. The filter was soaked and water was just starting to drip down into the overflow tray. Pulled the filter and noticed that the water discharge line that goes outside was clogged. It was around 09:30 PM (21:50 hours). Go to the shed and get the wet vac and an extension cord. The vac sucked and sucked and then pah-loo. A deposit of slime and blocked water that had built up cleared. Years of previous experience led me to the solution. Many would have just shut down the unit and called an A/C company. By 10:00 PM I was sitting back in the comfort of my recliner hoping that this would be the grand finale to one of those days when nothing goes right. All day I just kept dealing with stuff and not once did I get pissed. Guess I was just too physically tired to waste good energy on anger. Anger never helps anyway. Not unless I want to break stuff.

EIGHT O'CLOCK AND ALL'S WELL---

CLOUDY AND COOL IN THE NATIONS, "THEY" SAY IT WILL CLEAR OFF.
THE CHEROKEES WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.
DECIDED ON A SIMPLE LID FOR THE DOGHOUSE WITH STICK-ON FOAM STRIPS TO SEAL IT MO' BETTA. SO BACK I GO FOR MORE STUFF. DARLING WIFE TALKING ABOUT PAINTING IT; I'LL BELIEVE THAT WHEN I SEE IT :-)

I HOPE TOMMY HAS A SATURDAY WHEN NOTHING GOES WRONG.

IT COULD HAPPEN---

REALLY IT COULD.

I agree GRIS. When you have a run of good days you come to expect it.

I been on a streak of oh chits here lately also.... I just stop and pray for Satan to just get the hell outa my way in the name of Jesus.....and pretty soon everything is back to normal...... no really, it works.......

cleaned out the shop some and the office.....it finally gets so bad even I can't stand it..... looks real nice right now....... getting ready to store the Corvette away soon..... sad but true..... been averaging 6500 miles a year on it. I do like to drive it..... fits me well...

I do not think I'm going to mow this week for the first time in a long time. Grass did not grow much with the cold nights...... does not hurt my feelings.....

Have a weekend of joy and relaxation Guru's.....

VB....you just have take it a day at a time. Others put you in the situation on the timeline so just do your best with what you have to work with....and that will be good enough.

I remember the prayer

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be



Or was that The Beatles .........

....at one time they said they were more popular than the Lord...... that did not work out well for them I don't think.....

Got a couple of 5 lb chickens on the pellet grill.... my first attempt.... one's spicy and the other is more citrus y...... I put a half of lime and half a lemon in each... someone said that was the thing to do...... I will let you know....

Hey guys.... Right before we left for KC last week, we got a notice that an older couple from our church, had had some sort of water damage in their house. They are late 70s or early 80s and don't have much money, basically living on next to nothing. The projected cost of mold remediation was going to be in the $10-12k range plus fixing it back up. They have 8 kids, 5 of which I had as students and 5 of which are in construction industry. Well, whie we were in KC "Mom" calls Rosie, (she didn't have mmy number) asking if I could come look at the house to see what could be done. So, Monday when we got home, I call her and said I would come over and take a look.

I was expecting a horrible situation, but once there, the remediation company had made huge progress and the damage wasn't as bad as I was anticipating, not good, but not as bad as I was expecting. Anyway 'Mom' tells me I need to call one of the boys and talk to them about what I thought. So I did and through my conversations (with both Mom and son) I cam to the conclusion that 'mom and dad' didn't own the house, but this son which I was told to call and talk to. Any how, most of the kids were going to be home this weekend to start on repairing and they asked me to come over and talk to the others, advise and offer suggestions/help. 3 of the kids in the industry were there as well as their spouses and a couple grands (two of which are also in the industry) were all there ready to kick a$$. But not the one who owns the house, he's a truck driver and got stuck in Chicago and couldn't make it. The decision was made, beings we were torn down as far as we were, that some updating was in order. so a plan was cut and work started. I ended up spending the entire day there, helping. They asked me to be the 'general', beings the ones in the industry live in Denver and can't be around as the rest of the work progresses, I have agreed to do that. And I will be doing the kitchen cabinets and counter tops.

You need to understand, I'm very close to this family. Going back 40 years when I first moved here to start teaching and having these kids in school and having a huge impact on their decisions to go into the building industry, some of them drifting back and me working with/for them on projects and 'mom and dad' who they all go to our church, so the decision to help them was a no-brainer on my part.

Sorry to be long....

Glad you were able to fix the AC yourself Tommy. Gris, good to hear the dog house is nearly complete and painted. Chicken, Marcus? We are doing chicken on our grill tomorrow. Tommy, that does sound familiar....might be the Beatles.
