FIL is out of surgery and apparently all went well. \*\*FCD \*\*has said when he has to go back in 3 weeks, he’s going to take his bike and make an Iron Butt of it. They can take his folks’ car to Duke. They’ll spend the night in Raleigh, and after they see the Dr. tomorrow, they’ll head back to Ocala, assuming all is OK. Tues is MIL’s surgery, and with luck, my sweetie will be home by Thursday. \*\*Taters \*_- I can’t imagine telling someone I was coming over and they needed to be ready to feed me! Seems pretty nervy. And then to cancel? \* \_ I also agree with you about FL. Perhaps you should consider a visit to our Nation’s Capitol and the surrounding area?? 😉 All the yard sale stuff is in the garage - I found 3 boxes of stuff in the basement, including 2 ceiling fans. After lunch, I’ll get it all priced, then I’ll take the sign to the road. Then I’ll quit till tomorrow. I’s tahred! In fact, speaking of lunch, I think I’ll heat me up a bowl of soup, because it’s fast and easy. Like my men. 😃 ---

It’s 2014… Why is it still so difficult to get scanning to work? Hoping for a nice weekend so we can start setting up our pre-move yard sale. it’s three weeks away, but there’s a huge pile of stuff that we hope people will want to buy. ---

> [@Spiderman](#): > > **Moommmmm** , Do I sense that the the above two quotes should somehow be related? :eek: 😃 If I thought I could get away with it… 😉 Funny thing about this yard sale - \*\*FCD \*\*just wanted to haul everything to the dump. I think it’s ridiculous to throw away things that are useful just because you don’t want them any longer. Seems to me, a yard sale accomplishes both things, with a bonus of some cash. Whatever doesn’t sell will be donated, or thrown out, depending. But at the very least, we have $243!! 😃 It’s starting to cloud over. I just took the signs out - the larger one with the big arrow is on Rt 5, and the smaller one is on the corner of our lot. I couldn’t find any balloons - I suspect I may have thrown them away. Oh well… And I pulled the hard dinghy from the yard to the driveway, just in case. If nothing else, I’ll take pics tomorrow and make a flyer for local marinas. I need to sort and price the last 3 boxes I brought up from the basement. I really don’t want to do it, but it’s gotta be done and I’m the only one here with opposable thumbs and some market savvy. I also need to bring up a folding chair - if there are quiet moments, I want to be comfy. I should bring a radio, too, so I can listen to Car Talk and WWDTM. Or I can open the window and aim the stereo speakers out there. I notice \*\*BBBobbio \*\*hasn’t popped in today. No doubt, he’s avoiding me. 😉 ---

**Taters** , one of my brothers lived in Eureka CA for several years, and has visited here many times. In fact, he and his partner were just there a few weeks ago. It’s in Humboldt County in the heart of the Redwoods; it looks quite gorgeous and has very nice surroundings and furnishings. Just a thought, if you are interested in northern CA. 🙂 ---

Howdy from da cave! Yes da cave. After dealin’ with problem child up in large and in charge Americus, Jawja, I’d had enough. Da cave is closer to Americus than the orifice so here I am. It TPTB need me they can find me. Twuck’s passenger side mirror has tape around the middle part of the mirror with a folded up paper towel in the middle of the mirror so the tape won’t stick to the mirror. I’m told to leave it like that until mornin’. I’m ridin’ down the road and look at it and think, now this is what ya call “gittin’ yer redneck on!” 😃 I understand wantin’ to make sure the glue is good and dried on, stll, it just screams white trash to me. **Herbs** yay for your cousin! Fantastic news! **MOOOOOOM** yay for FIL! Maybe **BBBobbio** ain’t sayin’ anything cause he’s plannin’ on showin’ up bright and early tomorrow mornin ’ and surprisin’ ya with doughnuts. Oh and yes, Higgs is a keeyoote puppeh. **Taters** I say you go with doin’ sump’n you want this time. I’ve always wanted to go to the redwood forests myself. That place **Herbs** linked to looks kinda jake. ---

Dang, **{{{sari}}}** - so sorry the asshole pushed you over the edge and sorry your mom is blind to the two of them. You’ll be gone soon… Hang on to that. And remember we lurves you, even if you do need meds. 😉 Hang in there, sweetie!! I am as ready as I can be for the sale tomorrow. Everything’s been dusted, priced, and piled more or less according to category. I can take things out tomorrow in a logical order. I’ve also made some signs that say “Unpriced items: Make Offer Please!” I should add “I’m nice, dammit!” But it should be obvious, dammit! 😃 The wind is really picking up. From the looks of the radar, rain may still be a couple of hours out. No matter - I’m ready. If it wasn’t for the stupid rain, I’d put some things out tonight. Oh well. At least I can chill for the rest of the day, in theory. ---
