I had to look up brown sauce too. I’m generally don’t put sauce on things, but I’d be interested in trying that stuff, you know, for research.
Spiders I’m generally okay with, but they don’t seem to like me, for some reason. I’ve been bitten by spiders many times. I was even bitten by a black widow once. Left a bump on my leg the size of a goose egg for a couple of months. Consequently, I will relocate, or exterminate them, as the notion takes me. Sorry.
I’m generally not afraid of anything that won’t kill me. On the other hand, I don’t much care for things that would kill me. People who love lions and tigers and such confuse me for instance. Those things will kill you.
So the fan in the dumping loft wasn’t working. It ended up just being the breaker, but that was a sucky 45 minutes. Having a meatloaf sandwich for lunch.
That’s all that is required. Love the Buddy pics on FB.
Hope they don’t change their mind about the moving. that’s kinda scary.
I tried to see what a 1917 Colt Government Model (‘1911’) sold for on Gunbroker. Mine is the same year and condition, and I want to thin out my firearms collection. Last I looked, the one on auction was at $1,800 (started at a penny) with six hours to go. It turns out that Gunbroker doesn’t have a ‘completed auctions’ search – at least, not one I can find – and apparently closed auctions are removed from your watch list, so I guess now I’ll never know what the final price was.
Dead piggies…
Dead piggies…
Dead piggies are so good.
A cow-orker brought in some chicharrones for me this morning. It’s all I can do to not eat them out of the zip-top bag. But she said I should warm then in the toaster oven. Nice and meaty.
Got me a cheezburglur and fries from the { gasp } local Mickey D, because 1a.) I had a gnawin’ and cravin’ and 2b.) gotta keep those local businesses and their “OMG WE BE HIRING PLZ WORK HERE!!1!” signs going.
/s
I was gonna get a chocolate shake to go with, but I saw they had watermelon/strawberry slushies. My two favorite flavors! Combined!
OMG y’all it’s like slurping on a really cold Jolly Rancher. Make of that what you will. (My take is “FFFFFF where have you been all my overheated life, I lurves you.”)
Got so happy I woke Monkey up, who has now demanded to be let outside. Onto the concrete driveway. That’s been baking in the sun for hours.
The black cat wanna go onto hot lava.
… ope, nope, now he wanna sit in the open doorway, staring out at the world. While the A/C runs.
Just read something about black tea being good for you.
I used to drink sun tea all the time. I used to drink hot tea until I gave up sugar and milk. When I moved up from L.A. I brought a couple of one-gallon, glass, apple juice jugs with me. They’ve mostly been outside, and were covered with green. Some water got past the caps, so they were green inside too. But hey, 18 years outside in the Pacific Northwet will do that. A month or so ago, I cleaned one of them inside and out. I filled it up with water and bleach. It just has to be emptied and rinsed, and I can make some sun tea.
Except for one thing: There’s a little rust on the inside of the cap. (I put cling wrap over the top of the jug before I put the cap on.) It wouldn’t affect the tea if I used it as-is. I mean, the tea doesn’t come into contact with it. But not doing something about it seems ‘incomplete’.
I was thinking about cutting a disc out of a milk jug and putting it in the cap. Or something.
Anyway, I’d drink a lot more tea if I had it ready in the fridge.
Taco Bell had watermelon slushies when I was working and I thought they were pretty good stuff, except…they put a handful of hard black candy “seeds” in the slush and the black comes off so when you suck one up with your straw and crunch on it then go “Oh shit!” and spit it out, it looks like a broken tooth. I always asked them to leave them out.
Housekeeper was here and didn’t faint at the thought of the bidet attachment and gave hubs the perfect opening by asking why I didn’t want one on the toilet by my stitching room. Of course he was going to install one there for me, see, here it is! (My eyes hurt, LOL!)
Hubs is very good at many things, plumbing has never been one of them. Hubs also has no strength in his hands, so uses gripping tools for almost everything. I suggested that I be the one to install the thingy on his toilet because I had done it already and knew how it worked. I could see that he was considering it but didn’t want to risk losing his man card so proceeded to strip out the first plastic nut he was screwing onto metal.
He’s on his way to the hardware store. I’ve broken out the top shelf weed and am moving out onto the back porch when he gets back.
Which is the only reason I haven’t gone out into the shed and found another plastic nut so I could finish the job while he’s gone. My eyes are already sore.
That would be so awesome. It’s not impossible
Do not despair, I know for certain that some do. Not many, but some. We used to visit with a couple who were in full on nursing care. When I was looking for a place for FIL, I was amazed by the differences between the facilities.
I’ve been pretty successful finding replacement lids online. These will fit restaurant sized pickle jars which are the size I use for sun tea.
Even though it doesn’t touch the tea (except initially), I’ve been reluctant to use ‘paint’. I think we have some porcelain ‘paint’ for going over enamel. Might try that. I just don’t want it chipping off and getting into the tea.
I suggest just buying a growler filled with a favorite brew. More value that way. Supporting local businesses is such a good thing. Maybe they even have a lower carb beverage worth trying
Wifey went up to The Dalles to visit a bone cracker, leaving me to my own devices.
I decided to mow the back 40 (feet). Unfortunately I had forgotten to charge up the mower battery last time, but I thought it would last long enough.
I was wrong.
So I went and got the battery out of the weed whacker. It’s only a 2AH battery instead of a 4AH, but I knew it would work. It did, and it even lasted long enough to weed whack around the edges.
I briefly considered mowing the front yahd, but didn’t want to push my luck. "Sides, it’s 94f out there.
So now the 2 batteries are sitting on their respective chargers and I’m sitting in the living room next to the A/C, eating a fried Spam sammich and a Cherry Coke. (Gibbs is helping.)
Is there any way your friend would consider a dog sharing arrangement nellie? I used to have a neighbor with a large GSD when I lived in the hood. I walked for exercise, but, given the area, it was sometimes a bit scary. David and I made a deal that I would walk a mile or two a day with Roxie and it benefitted all of us.
Irked, came home, walked Nelson and et. Such excitement!
Howdy Y’all! Laundry got laundered and sloth got accomplished along with nappage, day drinkin’, and the requisite overall general uselessness. Sup got heated up and et. The dishes got washed, so along with laundry (washed, dried, and put away) that counts as a highly productive day for us. Does too!
yanker you might want to throw in some Matlock and some of those Law and Order episodes so you can pass the state bar. As for learnin’ medicine, I suggest Grey’s Anatomy, You’ll be a highly qualified surgeon after watchin’ the entire series. You’re already gettin’ some good fundamentals of medicine with your Goad The Relatives game. That sounds highly entertainin’ btw.
MOOOOOM jugglin’ origami while doin’ yoga sounds like a great past time!
Taters I agree. I’m glad the spiders eat all my leftover bugs. Re-heated bugs are ick.
Dan[sup]2[/sup] welcome!
wordy glad you and the wordlets had a good evenin’ together and that mom’s appointment went well.
shades that’s a jugglin’ act I would love to see.
Nellie you suggestion for fun to yanker is just so evil! Yet another reason why I love you!
Butters it’s always fine to lurk. Count me in amongst the love the Buddy pics folks.
I’m generally don’t put sauce on things, but I’d be interested in trying that stuff, you know, for research.
