Going to a wedding today then the reception this evening. I checked my closet for a dress shirt, and found that I was swimming in everything on the rack. Since losing 50# last year, this was one clothing item I had not checked and replaced. Off to the store to buy a new shirt.

Nice wings in the making there, Larry.

It's been one of those days where you just feel like staying inside.
The weather has been windy, cool and damp, but that's to be expected this time of year.

I did however, go next door to visit my friend Brenda. She has a 20 y/o daughter with the mind of a 10 y/o - FASD and the kid just loves me.
I sat on the floor for a while and played tic tac toe with her on her plastic play set, then Brenda and I played a long game of Scrabble and talked.

I made a dinner of mac and cheese with cubed ham and french fried onions, with spinach.

Two more days off, then it's back to work for me.

Cold and windy here today. I can feel it in my bones. I'm hoping this isn't a sign of things to come. I can't sit for long. I can't stand for long. When I'm out and about and walking I can't walk for long and it hurts to stand still.

Being on so many meds sucks. They all have their side effects and interactions with other meds. I was on a blood thinner before along with a stomach pill. The combination of the two caused half my hair to fall out. A change in blood thinner and stopping the stomach pill reduced the hair falling out but increased pain. Just can't win. Ugh

Modified Rotax 912 UL, 105 hp.

I am guessing that is air and water cooled combined,is this a common engine in light aircraft?? i never would have guessed 105hp would have had enough grunt,i am guessing the gearing is what gives it it's punch.

Good luck. At that age they figure they have everything figured out and know everything and are beyond advice.

The chat went well...i got called a moron several times, sulk face kicked in and she went walk-about-creek....better than expected:yum::yum::yum:

Why did i have kids....use a condom:hammer::hammer::hammer:

Depends on if I get called in to work.
This is technically a day off which falls in with my long weekend off, however, technically I am on call.

How much do you think it would cost to pay someone to make dinner for everyone for at least 5 days week? They can have the weekends off... we will just eat out on those nights. ugh... making dinner on my own.. is just sooo much fun. :(

Installed a tonneau cover on my truck. That took about 5 minutes. Now I don't have to shovel the snow out of it this winter every time I want to put stuff in the box. :clap:

Looking after my sick Granddaughter, she was up all night with a fever and tummy cramps so she needs a little loving,popped on a beef stew to simmer so that's dinner sorted,have to do a out of town run in a few hours as my Daughter is having dental work done at the specialist we have entrusted.

Now for some online shopping, with my son moving house i want to give them a head start on materials as the house even though is in pretty good order it does need some upgrades, looking for deals on wood flooring,carpets and french doors to fit a 8ft opening, not much.:yum::yum::yum:

I'll be sitting at home recouping from yesterday. A friend from camp and I went out to bring out the truck camper and finish covering things up/winterizing the camper etc. I'm paying for yesterday now since it's raining outside and I'm sitting here in pain unable to barely move. Ugh!

Real easy to overdo things. That rain is heading here for tomorrow so I'm going to get a little yard work done today in preparation for winter. That will be here before we know it. Fall is almost over, the foliage is past peak.

Today was grand.
Nice cool weather spent shopping with my best friend Tonda.
We then had dinner at a little place in Ottawa, Ohio - Henry's.
They have the best fried chicken I have ever had.

Driving back home, there was a beautiful bright sun through the clouds.
It brought back a memory for me, the week before my Father passed away.

There too was a nice sun on the horizon that evening.
We'd just had a family cook out, but that was in July.
I remember sitting on the picnic table with him alone, and I said so Daddy, what do we do now?
He said to me, "Baby, we're just going to sit here in the sun."

I love when such simplistic things in life bring it all back for me.

Just finished cleaning my pellet stove. Messy job, but with -2 this morning and -4 the morning before yesterday means it will soon be needed.

We've been having about the same temps in the morning here except we call in 27-30F :yum:

6 1/2 ton of pellets in the wood room so I too am ready to go. After the last fire I clean and oil the inside of the stove so the first fire is always smokey as all hell for about 20 minutes or so. :whistling:

What do you oil inside the stove? last year was my first year for my pellet stove so I'm new to pellets. I still have my wood furnace, but I love the pellet stove. Also, I find the cost of the pellets are about the same cost as having to buy wood. I'm too busy in the winter to cut my own wood these past few years.

I use a light machine oil in a spray can to just put a coating on the inside of the stove after a good cleaning and vacuum. Probably can get away without doing it, but I hate rust.

I've been burning pellets since 2008 and love it. I also burn cord wood on the coldest of days to help the pellet stove keep up but generally the pellet stove is all that is needed.

I buy the same brand of pellets each year. LG Pellets from Quebec. They are awesome, burn hot as hell with very little ash. Great pellets. Sounds like I may be firing up the Harman Stove later this week as high temps are only forecast in the 40's.

Winter is right around the corner my friend.

On our way to Thanksgiving dinner we stopped in at the advanced polling station designated for us and voted. Got that out of the way so we can say we had an influence in the future of our country.
