Got thrashed at marbles by the 9 year old tiger!! I taught her too well, me thinks.



Get you some 'steelies'...they are steel ball bearings! You use them for your shooter.

Dtr. made the decision and puppy is on her way back to the breeder where she came from. It's not right by the animal to expect her to live her life caged / crated all day long and then most of the night too. This is a Weim Puppy and full of energy. Hopefully somebody else can train / retrain her and make a good home for her....she IS a sweet Pup when asleep. What did happen to me today? ... I switched vehicles so the Pup could go away! Also helped my former boss move an 18wheeler from repair garage back to headquarters.

Did laundry and found twenty two cents. Can you buy anything for twenty two cents? If I find about a quarter every time I do laundry, in about ten weeks I will be able to buy a pack of cigarettes. Things are to damn expensive. I went to a dollar store last week and bought a pack of four ink pens. They charged me two dollars. It was marked two dollars, but I thought it was a dollar store. I asked them if I could just buy two of the four pens for a dollar. They called me a senile old shithead, told me I was a troublemaker, and threw me out. Shouldn't the store be called a two-dollar store. I don't understand.

You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.

Dr. appointment first thing this morning and I was 10 minutes late. Came home and made a minor repair on tractor mower deck and then "just lazy" due to lack of energy and gumption to do more.

Today my video card stopped functioning properly. I have a very powerful PC and it can be temperamental. I took it apart and discovered that inside it was filthy and dusty. I took it all apart and cleaned it. Put it back together with no parts left over. Turned it on and the video card was back and it is working fine. So one more thing I need to do periodically. At least I know how to break and fix my PC. Now on to smaller and less important things like e-mail.
I just keep hopping from place to place.
I never stay too long.
I just keep moving singing a song.
So you better stop me if you want to chat.
Or you will never know where I am at.

I am so disheartened by this. You have put a BIG threat on the brotherhood of males that do NOT read instructions, etc. I'm SO SHOCKED and dismayed!!

Started to "Sanitize" the yard today...that (for me at least) means mowing in the same direction and blowing clippings, leaves etc. towards the edge of the job. Takes nearly twice as long...was on tractor for nearly 4 hours. I've got another hour's work to do as "regular mowing" out behind the shop and barn.

I was walking home from shopping and stopped to adjust my music and reply to an IM. Next minute, one of my old workmates, Boyd, sneaks up behind me and we walk for a bit, talking about crap. Then, I meet two more of my ex workmates, Raymo (who is also the drummer in a band called Psyko Dalek, look 'em up they are pretty damned good) and Fauldsy. Again, we walked and talked, and I noticed the first thing I said to all of them, was that I'd been writing a lot lately. I then noticed that once I got home. It does seem to be the first thing I mention when I meet someone. How odd.

Neighbor/cousin gone for a week or so...I just decided to mow his yard. Its every bit as much yard as my own and "takes awhile" to mow. While doing that, stopped a couple times to visit with other neighbors...I was out of the house for over 4 hours ... "doing something". Today has been VERY pleasant to be outside.

OUCH...just realized now (as I'm writing this) that I still haven't finished my own yard from yesterday. Oh well..since I'm retired, I'll do it another day.
