Or what did you do? :razz:
I had the day off so I took Benji for a long walk and then went to the gyn. Beyond that, not a whole lot.
You?
"gyn" - Is that code for gynecologist or gin mill???? :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
I looked for work, listened to a lot of Yes, and generally made a sloth of myself. . .
Took two visiting grandchildren to breakfast, played Rummicube with them, dropped them off at the mall for awhile and they just left to see their dad.
:biggrin: I meant "gym", but that reminds me...it's time to make my yearly appt. :spooked:
I haven't play Rummicube in years. I need to get that game. We hae a collection of board games for game night.

I played on the 'puter, cleaned out a couple of file cabinet drawers, cooked, ate, played on the 'puter, took a nap, played on the 'puter, cooked, ate, played some more, and that was my exciting day. Tomorrow I'm going to start going through my tax stuff to get it ready to do my taxes.....ugh I hate paperwork.
A former neighbor left for Florida yesterday, and I am going to supervise the movers as they remove their belongings today.
Up early, I'm getting ready to walk Benji and then my daughter and I are headed out for some fun since we're both home today. :yes:
Great day so far. We hit a few antique and vintage shops. We don't buy much, we just like to snoop. :biggrin: We had a nice lunch and now we're doing the mani/pedi thing. I LOVE time with my baby! We might go see "The Little Fockers" after this. ;D
Warm water Aqua-aerobics at the rehab center. It's greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!
Don't really have anything planned for today so just doing what ever strikes my fancy I guess.
Hang out until it is time to start the "horror fest 2010".
We are going to view at least 12 hours of whatever horror films we have in our DVD collection. :icon_twisted:
^ niiiice!
Up early and went to the gym, walked the dog and now I'm having a bite to eat. I believe that I'll clean a bit, catch up on some reading and then go grab some more supplies for tonight's gathering.
I've been shredding papers and cleaning out the file cabinet of unnecessary stuff I just put in there because and getting the tax stuff together so I can get a jump on getting them done. I have not only reached the goal I had set for today I have managed to do a little more. :smile:
Scaring the crap out of myself with my collection of horror films. . . :icon_twisted:
Did it work, PH? ;D
How many of my friends are recovering? ;D
We were up late last night, watched the ball drop, waited for the rednecks to stop shooting so that everyone could leave safely and called it a night. It was fun to hang out. Half the people here, I haven't seen in months.
Today? Lay low until later when I meet a friend for a glass of wine or few :biggrin:
Yeah. . . I was up until 5 this morning. . . :biggrin:
Lots of gunfire around these parts too, but I wasn't one of them. The 10k fine and incarceration was not something I was willing to risk. . . :icon_twisted:
Today - staying in the stall, cooking up some pork chops, rice, and applesauce for dinner, and maybe my friends Mr Cuervo and Guinness will come out and play again! :biggrin:
Just kickin' back and takin' it easy. Might watch a movie or two later.
Nothing.
Same ol same ol. . .
Took down the Christmas decorations, took flowers to the cemetery, actually cooked dinner and soon I need to attend to some actual work on the computer.
Need to do a load or two of laundry but outside of that and the normal cook and clean up thing just what ever the heck I decide I want to do which may be nothing. :biggrin:
I've been having a great day. I had a project to do and was given another "hot" project last week. See vents thread. I was annoyed because it was due yesterday and I didn't have all the details. I finished it today, exceeding expectations b/c even though it was late, they didn't expect it for another week. I also tweaked it a bit and made it mine and my boss really liked my idea. Truth be told, I was avoiding the other project. It's in an area that I find so completly dull that I try not to grab those packages. Weeelll, I finished it today too. I'll turn it in tomorrow morning. I'm kinda excited about it b/c there's an evaluation due with it and I decided to tweak that too and do it in a comparison type format. It fits, but it's unorthdox. I don't know if I can get lucky twice so - also did a regular old boring eval. ;D. Now tomorrow, I can do my real work. :yes:
Shortly, I'm off to the gym to celebrate a great day.
Workout at rehab center.
Root canal, need I say more?
Just received my updated CD's of various Yes recordings that I ordered from Amazon. I am downloading them onto my iTunes account and will sync my iPod after I complete downloading. I got:
- Tales From Topographic Oceans
- Fragile
- Drama
- Going For The One
- Close To The Edge
- 90125
- The Yes Album
Most of them are remastered and contain a few previously unreleased tunes, as well as studio rehersals of previously released tunes. I am anxious to hear them all again, since my old LP's are not in the best shape, and the CD versions I have are prior to remastering. :smile:

Oh I SO agree surrounding Squire. In fact, I had an opportunity a few months back to sit down with a budding bass player in Georgia, and while talking to him about the instrument and its various aficionado's, I brought up Chris Squire and to my stark horror he had never heard of him or the band Yes! :eek:
I told him that if he truly wanted to master his chosen instrument he needed to learn Squire's style and approach to the instrument. (I then sent him several recordings by Yes (Tempus Fugit amongst them) that I burned onto a cd, with the instruction to turn up the bass on his system while listening to them! :biggrin:
The young man was thunderstruck and I am told through the grapevine that they can no longer get him to listen to anything else because he is hell bent to learn some of those songs! :biggrin:
I also strongly admire Howe as a guitarist. I wish I had a small portion of his ability! That guy is amazing to say the least, and the group through its various changes, has always been one of my top 3 all time; simply because each member has always been a virtuoso on their chosen instrument, and vocally as well. IMHO.
I liked Yes before anyone else I knew had even heard of them. I played "Fragile" so loudly on my parents stereo system it shook the house! And I have now bought that set of recordings for an eighth time. (A personal high surrounding repurchases of any artists recordings). Hopefully now that I have them in an electronic version as well, I won't wear out the CD's this time! :icon_twisted:
(And to this very day I sit down with Yes on the stereo and teach myself something new on the guitar every single time). :smile:
And for the record: Fragile was the very first album I bought without first hearing anything by them or any of the recordings on the album first. I had also not heard of Yes before, but bought it on impulse one day. I remember walking home from the store where I had bought it, (a five mile toe ride), and regretting spending the money along the way. . . But once I gave it a listen I was hooked, and deeply. I have never stopped purchasing Yes recordings since, and that experience taught me to open my horizons musically. Something I have also done since. . . :smile: (Or tried to anyway).
I find it amazing sometimes to discover that music I initially find uninteresting on the first pass through, ends up being some of my favorites once my ear acclimates to the style. Maybe its just me though. . .

I thought it looked like Roger Dean's work the instant I saw it the first time! :yes:
I had a good friend (and bass player) near the end of my high school days who was also a very talented artist. I commissioned a work by him, (large on canvass), that encompassed copying (pirating) some of Dean's work; the earth from the fragile album and the "ship", as well as the Wizard (from one of Uriah Heap's albums as I recall). He did an outstanding job of placing them into space and incorporating some of his own stylings within it as well. It was done in acrylic paints and I REALLY wish I still had that!

Oh, there is two kinds of warm water workouts. Warm water therapy which really helped my back. And there is warm warm water aerobic exercise classes. It is low impact exercise. The class leader leads you through all kinds of exercises. I have a lot of older women in the class in fact I'm the only guy.
If you got a sore ankle, bad knee, bad leg, weak foot, sore hip or lower back problems that 4 feet of warm water sure feels good and you can still exercise with the low impact. Each session is a hour long and you get a good workout.

I was just reading about water therapy for running injuries. In a nutshell, I'd still run, but in water. I didn't make the connection. You can bet if I get an injury that I ask for that. :yes:

Dang, guess I was lucky with the 5 I had. I went right back to work and didn't require any pain medication. Heck, to me it was a piece of cake after they got the root out and didn't have to numb it anymore for the rest of the procedure. I had 3 jaw teeth and two upper front teeth done. Not sure I could do that now that I'm older though. :no:

I have had several root canals and only two have bothered me, this one isn't as bad as the other. But this is the third procedure on this tooth (it keeps getting re infected). This time he packed it with an antibiotic and I have to go back, have that taken out and the permanent stuff put in if the infection is gone. If it isn't I will have it pulled as further treatment is unlikely to be successful.
Okay. . . ENOUGH already with the root canal horror show! You are evoking visions of :

I only had that happen with one of the jaw teeth and it isn't the most pleasant thing I'll admit. Still better than having them pulled though as far as being able to keep your natural teeth. That was the first one I had done and I thought they were all gonna be like that but the others were a piece of cake comparatively.
I have no idea what I'm gonna do today but I know whatever it is it's not gonna involve going outside. :biggrin:

Thank the heavens I usually don't have any problems sleeping. But there are times that when I get into this mode, I think of the most stupid things, I can't shut off my brain. Worry about things I can't fix while I'm in bed and things that don't really mean a damn thing when I'm awake, but when I'm this way they are monumental problems. Round and round and round every stupid idea comes up and keeps me awake and I couldn't fix here in bed any way. :dam:
Also I find that the more I worry about not sleeping, the problem gets worse. Hell, I just up, turn on the TV, get a little warm decaf coffee if you like milk, a little warm milk, find the most boring TV show, low volume, get into my recliner, put on my little blankie, get into my recliner, lay back, turn out the light and in less than 5 minutes I am to sleep. :zzz: Good luck. :love:
Good ideas. :yes: I generally get manuals from work and read though them. Sometimes that works. ;D
Today, the Princess and I are hoping in the car and heading to hell, a place the majority of the world calls "the mall". We have some birthday shopping to do. After that, I'm meeting a friend for a movie and after that, I'll drop the Princess off and head out for another birthday party.

I rant about a lot of things, but I have never ranted about paying income tax. I take all of my legal deductions and pay what I owe. I figure it's the dues I owe for belonging to the best club in the world. America.
One day out at the American Legion sitting at the bar, in walked a guy named Deb, who has passed on. Old Deb had been a big, big shot for General Motors and owned around 400 acres of flat, black Indiana farm land. He started showing me a big thank you letter from the local Cadillac dealer. Thanking him for buying a new Cadillac each year for last 25 years. He almost got tears in his eyes on how good the dealer was to him. I wonder why.
The next thing, he started to bitch about all of the income tax he was paying. Income from his farm, income from his GM stock and other stock and the tax he paid on his GM retirement. Now old Deb was a widower, his wife had a passed years before. He lived in his second home in Florida six months a year so he could buy Florida plates for his Cadillac and all of his kids were successful people spread all over the country. All he had was himself to worry about.
After talking to him for awhile, I told him how to cut his taxes. I told him, you take my income and pay my taxes and I'll take your income and believe me I will be more than happy to pay your taxes. He look up at and smiled and changed the subject.
Some people forget how good they have got it living here in America.
After I walk the dog, take a quick run to the market, and finish up the Jambalya, It'll be off to another birthday party. It's been a busy weekend ;D I'm looking forward to work tomorrow so that I can rest. ;D
Ice chopping. . . again!
Going to go visit my best friend at the hospital.

I avoided the math department like it was contaminated. ;D I took the bare minimum required math courses. If I ever move back to WV, I'd like it to be to Huntington. :yes:
My daughter and I both had enough hair to donate it to "Locks of Love". Although she faired better than I did. :biggrin:
Her hair is still shoulder length. Mine is about an inch above the shoulders...in a edgy looking bob... I had NO idea that I had that much hair, but I'm glad that it'll go to a good use.
I can never stand to let my hair get that long.
Tuesday, going to Hoosier Park Casino for their $5.95 buffet and a little Blackjack.
Today is done; Tomorrow errands and a movie with a friend. Saturday? I'm in the mood for a mini road trip :think: now where will I go? Only the road knows. ;D
What a really cool day! We had no idea what we were going to do, so we took off towards this huge mall in another town. That's what my daughter wanted to do and I figured we could go to this used book store in the same town (what I wanted to do) and go get some lunch at this hibachi place. Well, we did all of that, but when we got there, we were too early for the mall so we decided to walk around a bit. We stumbled upon a clean up. So, we grabbed some gear and helped out. We met some really nice people, mostly college students, but great conversation while we cleaned up that area.
My daughter and I are exhausted. LoL
What an awesome day!

Tomorrow I'm going to start going through my tax stuff to get it ready to do my taxes.....ugh I hate paperwork.
Are you going to take Obama's tax cut he gave you this year. :yes:
Candlles lit, pot of hot coffee standing by, quiet house, but the tv is on and I'm kinda watching and working on some paperwork that I brought home, going through some old picures, organizing my calendar for next week and journal writing.
I'm going out to dinner with family and friends later, but no one knows where we're going. :biggrin: Should be interesting. :biggrin:

My daughter and I went to a Murder Mystery Theater tonight. What fun! Neither of us got the answer right, but it was a total blast. We were matched at a table with total strangers who became fast friends as we struggled through the clues together.

Cool. I have taken my wife to Beef and Boards and had a blast. Saw Camelot. Would like to try the Murder Mystery Theater sometime.
Today it's work on the Suburban, oil change and check rocker arms then off to Ft. Wayne for some bowling and out to dinner with the family.
Reviewing SOP's, procedures, policies, and theory in preparation for Monday. . .
Getting new tires for my van, cleaning house, grocery shopping, and some John Madden with my boy....
I think the princess is finally waking up. Time to go to the gym and then hit the sales.
Have a great day everyone!
Well, after doing some studying I heard the steel horse calling my name. . . Then we went to stimulate the local economy a bit, and when I got back it was no longer calling, but SCREAMING. . .
So, I took her out for a nice stretch of the legs! 8) Windy, but the therapy I have been missing for the last 3 months! :yes: 8)
Yeah, I think I over-stimulated today. I'm tired.
I have some chicken on the grill and rosemary garlic potatoes in the oven. Early dinner and then movie night.

Got up this morning and had family morning cleaning horse stalls. (fun,fun)
While cleaning stalls saw two Bald Eagles in the woods behind the house. Really cool. 8)
That is really cool. Something about eagles is awe inspiring. As for the stables that brought back visions of my personal experience as a kid-slave growing up. ;D

That's funny! For the next session I have to bring a scene from a movie to read. The rest of the class has to be able to identify the movie by our portrayal of that part. I just found my scene. :icon_twisted: ;D
I had the best run of my life this evening. I really pushed it and it felt great.
Now, I'm studying (or putting it off ;D ) for a class tomorrow night and thinking about dinner.
Tomorrow: go to Dr. office to have him refill prescriptions for hubby and me and then to physical therapy.

Friday going for another warm water swim.
Tomorrow is a day off, but I have a lot of stuff to do. I've got to go to the auto parts store and get some stuff for a tune up. I'm getting 31.7 MPG now, but I'd like to slide another few miles in with these prices. I have to go find something to wear to an awards ceremony next week. The gym. A morning hike with Benji and get started on my spring cleaning. Somewhere in there I need to drop the Princess off at school and pick her up again. Oh! And I've got to go to the greenhouse and buy some flowers for the yard.
Any suggestions? They'll get a lot of sun and need to be harty b/c I tend to be horticidal. ;D
High Tea in Indy with some friends.
After work I'm meeting friends for happy hours. :clap: :food4:

Work this morning and then road trip to Wisconsin this afternoon.
Lunch with my best friend, then pick the puppy up from the groomers and a class at the library on e readers.
Right now? Hanging at the mall with daughter and friend.

Work my a......pple off of course. ;D
I'm going to leave here, have a Corona and go for a swim when I get home.
Lazy day for me today. My daughter and I got up early and helped with an MS Walkathon. We manned the rest stations with water and gatorade for the walkers runners. Benji was with us and ran with me. I only did 3K today though so that I could help her. Now we're planning to have some lunch and just chill the rest of the day.
Change that - shopping after lunch for a baby gift. My friend just went into labor!
Clean the house and play on FB. :biggrin:

He didn't know how to remove his playtoy from his belly and he had to pee straight up, he went to emergency. He said they got quite a kick out of it they brought in all of the staff all laughed and so did we. :biggrin:

I love these things. Every year we learn new and different ways to recycle and reuse things. One lady had a clothing and accessory line made out of wrappers...candy, chips, etc. Now I can't see myself wanting to wear any of that, but my daughter thought it was cute. She bought a bracelet for .50 and they taught her how to weave her own. There was a section which focused on alternative energy and fuel and the pros and cons of each. My daughter was a little bored with that, but I thought it was really interesting. Our favorite part was the food section. There were some meat options, but they focus on vegan eating. We always seek out the foods prepared with tofu. I really enjoy it, but I'm afraid to cook it. I had a vegetable like soup with tofu in it. Very tasty. We enjoyed the agricultural section too. The focus was organic gardening. We brought home tomato, radish and cucumber plants as well as a sapling to plant. All free.
Oh and something interesting that we learned at the customs booth...it's illegal to own an eagle's feather unless you are a card carrying native American. I believe there may be another exception too, but it's not me. We have an eagle nest in out back yard and I've been checking to see if any feathers have dropped. I guess I'll stop. ;D
Anyway, we had a great time. :yes:
We have at least 28 eagles at our lab site. Feathers are an extremely common sight here. We do not collect them, so they usually end up as some kind of insulating or padding in other creatures' homes.
For certain of our research programs, we have permission to use them for various purposes, but usually we turn them over to the wildlife rehabilitation center. They have a very interesting raptor program, a part of which is open to the public.
The Parks service had a falcon on display. He had swooped to get something running across the road and was clipped by a car and damaged his wing. Thankfully the people who hit him did the right thing and called for help. He can't ever be released into the wild now b/c he has become too dependent on being fed and doesn't seem to care for hunting anymore. I've never been a bird watcher. I honestly haven't cared for birds since I was flogged by a chicken. ;D But looking at him today, I realized why I like raptors. It's the intelligence reflected in their eyes. A lady standing by me said that he had a cold look in his eyes. I disagree. He was sizing us up individually and if we knew what he was thinking was probably pretty close. Chickens? Just look stupid. ;D

I know what you mean. Didn't pay enough and they stuck it in my butt. From that time on we just pay a CPA, which is deductable and we also pay quartly. Got back almost $1,000 that's going into trip plan. A little of it is going to the State of Indiana. They always want more than we pay in. :rant:
Yeah, I wrote my annual surplus contribution checks to both the state and feds again this year, and I did it last month.
I can't procrastinate over it because once I do my in laws taxes it just sits there staring me in the face. . . :eek:

Isn't it against the Federal law to have in your possession eagle feathers? I think I heard that even American Indians have trouble getting eagle feathers for their bonnets.

Fortunately mom has both medicare and pays for a supplement which covers everything for her. She has lost a lot of her center vision in both eyes even though it was caught early but she can still see TV if she sets close enough and read with the help of a thing a friend gave her that shows it on the TV screen. I forget what it's called but she has to run a thing across the print to send it to the TV. Mom will turn 90 this year.

Several years ago one of my customers had the same thing your mom has. She had a reader hooked up to a television screen which made so she could read. She said of all the things that could go wrong it had to be her eyes and one thing she loved to do was read. She lived until she was 94 and all she took was a blood pressure pill, which she started taking a 90. She said it really pissed her off that her doctor put her of a blood pressure pill. :biggrin:

She told me that when she was first married she had two miscarriages and one girl. She said she had been very sickly. She said that in her twenties she had a hysterectomy. She said from that moment on she was healthy and only used aspirin.
We do know that the human race is living longer and in better health than in the good old days. I know that because of good medical care and drugs I would be as healthy as I am now.

Guess I'll run and get some topsoil and seed to patch in the dead spots from last years drought. . . Maybe by the time I get back things will dry enough for me to ride the tractor for awhile. . . :smile:
And maybe the Hogcycle?
Made dinner, visited with the company, cleaned up the kitchen, took an evening nap after everyone left, and played on FB for a while. :biggrin:
Right now, I'm just trying to get my eyes to open. We'll see how the day goes after that. :biggrin:

After 20+ years in the military, my dad used to get up at Oh-dark-ridiculous out of habit. He would have said that. :yes:
Funny thing is, I gave him a hard time about it for years. I find that I no longer sleep in on days off. I'm turning into my dad. :spooked:

Yep, we all turn in to one parent or the other. I am my dad, especially in :wink: :biggrin: medical things and the other day I said to my wife, "I married your mother". Which she didn't take too kindly. :wink: :biggrin:
I worked for years getting up at 5:15 AM. With some of the hours I worked, I would disappear into the bowels of the plant where I worked and never see the sun. In the winter I would go in, in the dark and come out in the dark. Now my hearts don't start beating until 8:00 AM. :grin2:
today, i'm enjoying the last day of sleeping in. kids go back to school tomorrow. and i'm cleaning. i'd rather be walking a few miles, but it's rainy and chilly out.
What's the matter, you afraid of getting a little wet and getting sticky from being so sweet. :razz: :wink: :smile:
hahaha... if only that were true!
After work, watch my daughter play softball then go home and workout.
Tomorrow, driving up to Marion to meet my sister in law for lunch. Time to catch up on each other's families.
Some warm water exercising, swimming and a good old soak. :smitten:
Get the golf cart ready to take up to the trailer at the lake. Damn when are we going to get some good weather. :rant:

Doctors, routine crays, pick up puppy from the groomers, try to reorganize my sewing room so I can actually sew in it.
Changed out a burnt out brake light, then discovered my DRL's were out. Changed those bulbs out and they are still dark. . . :rant: Oh well, they are just daylight running lights. GM is notorious for those circuits going south. . . :rolleyes: Then I changed out my headlights while I was at it, high and low beams. (Yeah, I put those danged bright bulbs in :icon_twisted: )
Then I cleaned out the interior, did the windows, and would have washed it too but it is going to rain so. . . Went and fueled up and picked up a gallon of marine 2 cycle oil to add to the tank (1/2 quart per tankful.)
Then I put together a fan and stand. . . did some shopping, took the pup outside and played with him for about an hour and half, fed the zoo, and am about to fix myself dinner! :bliss:
Going to buy some more things for the garden. Potting soil, plants and who know what else. You know you just can't buy what on the list. :wink:

If you ever want to trade off that Chevy. I can get you a Ford family plan that will save you around 13% off a new Ford built car or truck. I think you would look real good in of of these Ford F150 four door pickup.
Just the right power and the right size for taking some friends with you. My brother in law has a black F-150 4 door with plenty of chrome trim and chrome rims. It is beautiful and plenty big. Talk a bout a beautiful interior. WOW!
If I ever trade trucks I going to get one, since I and not pulling a 32 foot RV trailer anymore, I don't need the F250 Super Duty with V-10 engine I got now. A new F-150 will be plenty big powerful enough to pull my fish and ski Sea Ray bass boat. :biggrin: :fish:

What I want to know is, what do you need a diesel engine for. Or for that fact such a big truck for. I have read many articles on gasoline VS diesel engines. Every article have said that the extra $5,000 to $6,000 for a diesel will not pay for itself. Unless you are a full time camper traveling the country or a person who uses the truck for business and get a tax deduction and I got a deduction on my diesel truck.
I had a diesel and liked it, no trouble. The same thing with all of my gas engines. But the Ford 2012 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 Turbocharged diesel engine is one of the best, most powerful, most tested, best mileage of all of the Ford Diesel Engines.
Talking to some of the campers at my trailer park in Florida, they were not too happy with their Dodge diesel trucks. Engines and transmissions. I never drove one. But to me they are the worse sounding diesel of them all. Sounds like rocks in a beer can being shaken. :biggrin:

In 2003 I owned a Bayliner and a mid-range travel trailer; among other toys. I admit to oversizing my tow vehicle intentionally with the purchase, but longevity of service/fuel efficiency were also high value items on the decision list. I used it to commute daily to Indy.
Admittedly, I do not "need" the power at this point in time; however it is hard to validate the purchase of a replacement vehicle when the current one is paid for. . . minus some catastrophic event. Besides, it's nice to have a lot of times; especially when home improvement projects crop up or a buddy needs his toys/travel trailer hauled from their remote locations and home. Better to have and not need than to need and not have. . .
All of that being the case, long term plans do include the purchase of a new vehicle. But those plans do not include giving up my diesel truck. I stated when I bought it that it was "the last pickup truck I will buy in my life", and I intend to hold myself to that statement if at all possible. A man needs a truck, and I don't ever see that changing. . . :smile:
Yes, Cummins are noisy power plants to say the least. And all things considered Cummins enjoys a pretty high record of performance and professional driver satisfaction; a situation CAT once enjoyed in the US marketplace. In fact if you pay attention, the lions share of the 3/4 ton diesel powered PU owners that choose to run the through the bed "stacked" exhaust systems that mimic Semi Tractors, are Cummins powered vehicles. That way the exhaust noise levels drown out the engine noise! :biggrin:
Those Powerstrokes have a history of leaking like a 1958 HD Panhead,(Or AMF era HD), and it was a fairly consistent issue through model year 2007; the last time I personally did any research on them. At that time the stats were negative enough to steer me clear of them, but I acknowledge that it is possible that Ford has implemented engineered solutions for those issues by now. In fact, probably very likely. (A former colleague owned a 2006 and it was a constant problem for him as well. His parking spot at work needed no sign; it was marked with a huge oil stain).
I can support the stated issues with brakes and transmissions on the Dodge gasoline powered trucks up to the same time period (2007), as well as via personal experience with them. (I owned a Dodge gas fueled pickup before my 2500 HD, and in fact traded it in on the one I own now). Both were a nagging issue for me in owning the Dodge, and played a key role in my desire to unload it.
Grab a salad from Panera and head home to watch NCIS.
Awesome day! I was asked to be an instructor next week. I tossed my name in the hat a while ago and just assumed that someone else was picked, so I'm excited to find out that I was. After work, I went for a run, then took my daughter to her game. A bunch of family showed up, she was excited and it was a lot of fun. We went for ice cream on the way home.
Great day!

Been there, done that, and don't want anymore.
But Anne after looking at your new home place. Got one question. CUTTING ANY GRASS? :wink: :biggrin:
No, I don't cut grass, that is man"s work. ;D Actually the tooth is doing good so far. It is the one I had the root canal on in January. I am glad to be done with it. Ben fighting to keep it for three years.
We took flowers to the cemetery and now I am going to start dinner, chicken and noodles. Maybe we will go to Fraziers for ice cream later.

Three years after I had a root canal and a cap. I tooth started to hurt and move around. I thought the cap had came lose. No such luck. Mr. Murphy of Murphy's law moved in. The tooth had cracked in two under the cap.
It took three dentist to find and fix. My dentist had to send me to a specialized dentist who ground off the top of the find the crack. Then a dental surgeon who took it out in five pieces plus dust. He told me it was one of his toughest tooth removal, I told him is was the worst dental procedure that I ever had. :toothless: :biggrin:

Got my 'puter cleaned out inside and out, done some runnin', ate lunch, ordered Direct TV, (gettin' rid of Dish Network), and opened up the enclosed area where my PC sits so it will get more air. My 'puter desk had a nice little compartment for the tower to set in but it was a little more enclosed than was good for the tower so we fixed that. :yes: While I was doing all that stuff I untangled all the cords again and put ties on the ones that were too long and made that a little neater. I had done that already but somehow, I think it's in the middle of the night when no one's looking, they got all tangled up again. :spooked:
Spent some time trying to come up with a witty reply to the "goat head" remark. :biggrin:

Apparently the fact that I can't pull up the information he's requesting because the names on the list that HE provided are mostly misspelled. Out of 20 names, so far 9 are misspelled. The icing was the name not on the list. I should have had ALL of the information waiting, he's very busy and very important and doesn't have time to wait. The fact that HE is the sole reason the process has been lengthened is escaping him.

Tomorrow is knocking a few things out at work and then heading to the beach-side for the weekend.

Getting the walls of the new nursery, (at the old stall), ready for paint. . .
Discovered a BETTER way to "sand" the mud when drywalling too. Sponge it! No dust!
Tell me about your problems, I own a house built in 1880 and have lived in it for 48 years paid off in 12 years. It is a continuing piece of work. Know all of the trick of working on a old house.
But with the highest house payment of $89 and this years with a Property tax payment of $400 on it this year. I think it has been worth it, many times over. :yes: :smile: Yes, I have made some good decisions in the past years. I almost built new. :knife: :biggrin:

Very cool! I'm debating on whether or not to go to my 25th reunion. I've pretty much kept in touch w/everyone I cared to, so I'm not sure. It might be nice to go back home. It's been a good while.

Let me tell you one thing, GO! My wife went to her 50TH class reunion. She has age beautifully and has taken care of herself and with my being her personal slave :bow: of letting her lead she looks good. :kiss:
Well, she went. Had her hair perfect, makeup just right, the proper gold jewelry, a pretty frilly dress. high heels and hose and took off to see the classmates. :eye:
She killed the old men of her class. :drool2: She brought home a picture of her class, which was a small one from a small school. The other women that were there had on slacks, sweaters and big white tennis shoes. :doh: She stood out like a beautiful rose among a bunch of thorns. Go, Go, and kill the old farts. :biggrin:
:biggrin:
:music1: Go'n swimming :music1: Rubadub relaxing in the pool :music1:
Night off, relaxing and getting ready for a busy weekend.
Soooo no one has been doing anything? :spooked: ;D
Went to the dentist, again, now I am waiting on hubby to take me out to dinner at the Bob.
Picked my first fresh tomato out of my garden, going out right now and pick the second one. Nothing like a fresh Indiana grown tomato. :drool1:
You are SOOOO right Troll. I'm reaping the benefits of my coworkers who've had a tremendous tomato crop this year. They keep bringing in all of the extras which is bags and bags full. After I got my fill of tomato sandwiches and turkey B.Ts (I think iceburg lettuce is tasteless and useless) and grilled cheese w/tomatoes I turned some into sauce and some into diced seasoned tomatoes which was frozen for use later when they aren't fresh.
What did I do today, gym, work blah blah blah

Going to watch my last grandchild get on the bus for his first day of school.
Work. . .train. . .work. . .train. . .
Just got out of the hospital after a 23 hour stay. Elbow swelled up and found out it was a Staph infection. Not really good.
Now all of the antibiotics they put in me wasn't too bad, but the damn bed about killed me. It was a Middle Ages torture rack. :gha: :groan:
I think Henery was running the hospital floor I was on. :wink: :smile: Just kidding Henry. :wink:
Did you complain about the bed. My cousin was in the hospital last spring and she did so they brought her up an older one with one of the thicker mattresses. She said it was much better.
I'm glad that you take care of things and don't let them get out of hand. Had it been me I woulda died waiting for the swelling to go down. :no:
I hope you're feeling better, Troll.

This year, I dropped my last child off at the doors of high school. I'm torn between being excited for her because she's heading into young adulthood and sadness that my baby is gone. However, I always come back to being SOOOO thrilled that we escaped middle school unscathed. ;D

Sandy I don't think you would have let this go by. From the back of my hand to the shoulder, about 1/3 bigger, hot with fever and it took about one day to do it. I spent to much time playing phone tag with the doctors trying to get someone to look at my arm.
You can bet one thing, If I can't see a doctor when I need one, I'M GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. Staph is a very deadly disease. :yes: If you have a joint swell up and there is no open wound, it is most likely Staph. My brother-in-law almost died when his knee swelled up and he waited to long. He spent 10 days in the critical ward and the doctor told him that he had a 50/50 chance to die, if the Staph got into his blood stream.
Just don't be hard headed go get help. Thanks for your care. :smile:

Yeah, when he got on the bus, looked out at us, waved, and mouthed the word "bye" at us. We were all wiping our eyes.
Doggone dust!!

Going in for the second of seven chemical fixes. I was just thinking. What if we had clinics all over the country like the one I am going to. Where these druggies could go in and get all and I do mean all of the drugs pumped into their veins. We could stop the billion dollar war against illegal drugs and in a short time take care of all of the druggies. :sneaky: :biggrin:
Nuttin' :biggrin:
i think i will call a few of those indian owned motels and start yelling "the cowboys are comin, the cowboys are comin", then sit outside and watch the fun.
They'll probably wonder where they're playing this weekend.

My wife was asked by her son where she would like to go out and eat for her birthday. Well, her tongue got in front of her eye tooth and said, "I like to go to the Texas Outhouse" which she quickly corrected to Texas Roadhouse. :yes: :biggrin:
Had to check in today so I don't get bumped from The Unknown Zone. ;)
Isn't it awfu when that happens and you can't see what you are saying? :) Dinner was great, ate too much, as usual when we go there. Hubby is 67 today. Don't know how we got so old. :biggrin:

Just wait until you are 74. After you retire the time will seem to double up in speed. I can't believe that I have been retired 14 years. :gha: :wink: :smile:

Happy birthday to the mister!
Thanks, Sandy.
I think i am gonna try to make a rainbow. I already have the water....
Going to the infectious disease doctor to check the Staph infection I got. :gha:
Remember Staph is very dangerous disease. If you get any large swelling any where on your body, wound, sore or not. If you can't get a doctor right away. Go to the Emergency immediately. It means life or death or being paralyzed. :yes: :yes: :waaa:
The people at the hospital said that Staph is making a real come back. Be careful. :smile:
rainbow project hit a snag. anyone got any sunshine? or a pot? i really did find a leprechaun tho. he was riding a bicycle down the street, had on a green hat with a feather. tried to catch him. he was quick. next time.
ok i got the leprechaun in the bag, so to speak. anyone have a hammer i can whack him with? hes wigglin so much i can hardly drag him.
One entire week's worth of laundry.

I had a tom cat named Porky or Pork and for the eight years it was a battle to wash him. After that I just think he gave up and just stood there and took his bath. :smile:
I think I've already done most of what I had to do today....from here on out, it's free time..... :D

right now i am watching the browns play high school football.
i got a new puppy she is a schnoodle. my old boy died last year. Og was a fantastic dog. I hope she is as good as he was. He was a german shepherd. She is the size of his kibble. Any ideas about aggression? she likes to bite and not nicely.

Going to the dentist, again. Then, maybe a nap this afternoon.
Nothing. I am doing nothing today, might finish it tomorrow

Sweet daughter had 4 baby teeth pulled today. She's not so sweet right now. ;D
I'm a little ticked because our dentist of the last 4 years never mentioned or seemed concerned that she still had baby teeth. We switched because I hate dentists so I tend to hop from dentist to dentist. I found one that I actually like and decided to move her over also.
She also mentioned that my daughter's tonsils are WAY too large to be healthy, so I'm ticked at the pediatrician too. :D
I am gonna watch a movie. too bad theres not an automatic pause when you fall alseep

Don't fall for the "tonsil's are way too large to be healthy" routine. . . They said that about me 40 years ago, and I still got them! :yes:
Now, sore throats are painful and if they get frequent it might be time to get them out. Otherwise, I'd let them "hang"! :biggrin:
Way back in olden times, everyone had their tonsils out by the time they were 6 or 7. When my kids were little they wouldn't take anyone's tonsils out until they were so bad it was scary. I will say the younger (within reason) the patient the faster they recover from having their tonsils out.
when i was a kid my mom took me to get mine taken out, i freaked out, started hysterically begging to go home. and she told them, nope, she is too scared, we are taking her home. not even popsicles tempted me. so we went home, i kept them. for about a week, til my uncle promised me a new Hardy Boys book and a quarter.
lol, i cringe now at my cheapness. should have been two books....
