reflecting on life in general.....all i come up with is this..."fucked if you don't and more fucked if you do"

Got a week alone to think....and so far i realize i hate the fucking dog!!!!!
 
Dug holes for a couple of trees,and flooded them ,took the three labs to the vet , ordered new cutting bits for my phd auger,ordered a new muffler for my 372xp because a machinist trashed the original . Not a bad day ,all things considered . Life is good!

yea she got a week away....and shit do i miss her....reflecting on stuff hurts...i hurt as i know she is my purpose for being here...no words can express how much i love her.
 
Been doing laundry and puttering around the house.
Hoping Subway have their power back on today.
I really fancy a veggie foot long sub from there.
 
went to get a few new uniforms, re-typed my resume, copied scads of stuff, then got on it & read, sent, emphasized on & re-read emails. called & contacted like a notebook-full of restaurants. got some positives.

although i was told i'd met not the specifications for 1 job. maybe i'm over-qualified for 'em. that food is stuff i learned in the 1st few months, if i'd not already made it myself.....-oh, my. it's like stuffed cabbage & fried chix or grilling items, :yum:if u can't make those....... wow. can't win 'em all~)

now i'm 'goin to blake's. after i get glammed an 'at. no, i just cancelled. i'm so sleepy. kept waking all nite & was on my feet browsing the regatta for hours yesterday. jus' gonna get to the bar maybe.
 
Been mowing weed tops in the yard and sweating. Dang heat and humidity is just going to get worse till Sunday so I want to get it done. May take the solar covers off the pool and get in a little while.
 
One of the bar stools in the pool broke loose so I used some waterproof marine epoxy to reaffix it into its spot. Have a concrete block holding it down now.

Before that I did some weeding and spraying some stone areas with Roundup to kill the roots.

Then I was floating in the pool while smoking a Tabak Especial cigar . . . only about an inch into the cigar when a damn bug bit me and caused me to jerk, which launched the cigar into the pool. Very sad ending to such a nice cigar.
 
General outdoor cleaning. Big party this coming Saturday. Damn hot to be doing it this time of day so I'm taking a break.
 
The packaging plant is running today, one shift. My folks actually wanted to work today. Twisted my arm.

Customer needs the product and my employees wanted to be inside where it is cool. So they said. i think it ws more of a ,,,, "no yard work today honey, gotta work at the plant."

Okay folks. I appreciate the thought but,. But I wanted to sleep late.

The pleasures of running one's own busines????:glare:
 
interviews. waiting. 1 this morning w/ a diff. guy than i was s'possed to meet with. so now i'll know further in the morning. dammit. another interview later on.
later requested i be accomodated @ a restaurant. the girl was dumb as a brick. said i'll make it an issue they wouldn't like 2 contend with. they met my expectations, tho were very obviously ticked when i mentioned 'contacting corporate'.
strolled all over a section of the city i miss. took pix.

best pc. of my day-- i hopped a bus this morning & saw a very elderly, very decorated veteran. i saluted him, & chose the seat across the aisle from him. after a few, he looked over @ my hee-haw shirt & smiled, saying he owns all the episodes. we got into a great conversation. it just made my day. Bless him.
 
Had a good time with the family for the 4th even though the weather was atrocious.
We had it at my BILS house (the little new one he's since moved in after Julie passed).
We spent most of the time on the patio/driveway area and garage.
He's only got window air conditioners in the living room and his bedroom, so going inside brought some relief.

He and my nephew made dogs and burgers on the grill.
I made Joe's FABULOUS potato salad.
Joe, that bowl was scraped clean!
It was a huge hit, definitely a keeper :D
Baked beans, potato chips.. niece got a red, white and blue decorated cake from the store, other niece made vanilla wafer banana pudding.

Our city fireworks did go on tonight.
None of us went to the school parking lot to watch them, as we could see them from this end of town, then it started to rain at about 10:10, and there were some pretty nasty storms to the east of us.
Looks like those storms are heading toward Columbus and Pittsburgh right now.
 
Taking cats to the spay/neuter clinic first thing this morning. Seems the one I never caught ended up down at the old neighbor lady's place. Wife caught it yesterday and he and and one of ours with a leg injured are going to see the Cornell vet lady first thing in the morning. And I will get a good breakfast without having to cook.:whistling:
 
Opened up a bunch of windows and enjoying not running the a/c for a change. Got a tree to plant after I move one to make room. Might take the RTV around and grab some more berries before the bear and other critters get them all.
 
interview, maybe. i gotta call in. i'm sending a hippie teddy bear i won to raynin soon, so i gotta get that boxed. i need a nap.
 
I quit till the sun goes down or it clouds up. Closed the windows and fired up the a/c. Damned humidity sucks!
 
Also fixed a fan that was running poorly. So much gunk and dust inside the motor housing, I figre it was overheating everytime we run it. Now it's blowing just as good as the one I bought yesterday. Coulda saved myself 18 bucks :doh: :yum:

Pretty easy Sunday. Did a bunch of watering , received a load of oak poles from the log company (8-9 cords ) . He cut me a pretty decent deal on a full load of Locust ,so that'll be here next week .

They won't be ready till Halloween. You might end up finishing them inside.

Well,I'm years ahead now anyway :wink: the Locust has been down for about a year, so it should really test my chain sharpening :yum: To tell the truth, I'd rather C/S/S in november and december than in July and August .
