Had a nice evening with the granddaughter last night. She was in high spirits and her uncle and I chased her giggling through the house. Did some bed jumping and pillow fighting. I think I’m an 8yr old trapped in a 58 yr olds body?

Big games are on today! Go Red, er Commanders. I have been hearing a rumor they’re going to bring back the logo? For those that don’t know, that’s Chief White Calf Two Guns, whose family has been lobbying to get their father back on the uni’s. The name will not come back. So…predictions….Washington vs Bills in a rematch of the ‘91 SB!…I bet everyone a coffee

MZ of an old boat. Used to see this quite a bit around these parts when I was growing up…

Sounds like fun!! Those are THE moments!!

Dunno if you’re gonna get your football wish. At least not for the game. Maybe for the logo!

 

[Wonderer67]

I did...she hasn't posted since 1/19

I THINK she’s traveling for work. Not sure.

Happy Sunday everyone!
Hope there's some R&R in everyone's day today

Don’t forget to check the shear pins!

Speaking of which, I was mucking around, getting stuff ready to go down to her other property yesterday morning, when I saw this little piece of metal on the driveway.

The offending shear pin from last Monday! What are the odds?

Is it... taunting you?

I have to get my shit together with my diet..... not doing great... but today is a new day!!

Happy Sunday to all my friends

Every day is a new opportunity for new choices
You've go this, @Missk_2022

I beat myself up for falling off the wagon. But I just keep reminding myself that it took me 15 years to get in this wagon. This next one won't take as long cuz I know this wagon is going where I want it to.

Go find your wagon.

EDIT: At least I didn't try to rhyme this post.

Feels nice being in the driver's seat? your wagon continues on the path chosen.

Mine fell off the curb. I reckon I should get a move on with it.

Diet changes can be challenging. You may be onto something with the out of town job change idea. Let that be a catalyst for you. Wishing you all the best, Wat!

Happy Sunday! I popped on for a second before the house wakes up. I hope everyone is doing well

{{{Impy}}} So happy for you!!! Lovely to see you pop in for a bit. Don't be a stranger - would love some impromptu peek-a-boos now and then.

I know, because I have always struggled with my weight. I stopped eating processed sugar six or seven years ago. Drop some weight, but more importantly, I had less body pain, felt sharper, and just in general felt healthier.

Weight and Diet can be so challenging!
Sugar - can be used for good or evil
I tolerate fruits better than some vegetables. Natural sugar but too much can still cause issues.
Refined sugar will wreak all sorts of havoc with my system. Tasty but terrible.

Threaten me with a good time!

I've been having fun in RL. Too much fun. Forgive me??!! I really enjoy my new friend. He makes me laugh and smile a lot. Not something I've been doing the past 3 years apparently.

Good for you... the both of you!! Enjoy every moment.
Would love if you popped in periodically with an update. Miss you but happy you're happy!

Sounds like a lovely day!!

I M gonna mess it up

You've got this! I know you'll go slow, take your time, measure multiple times, and then proceed.

I forgot... hope she gets to enjoy herself too.... and eat some Swiss chocolate

If she's checking in, don't forget to do some chocolate shopping to bring back deliciousness with you, @Oldermom935 !!
Hope the trip goes well!

I get compounded meds online overall about 135$ a month for doc nutritionist and meds.... luckily is affordable for me

I've done 2 compounded meds.
The first was unaffordable and discontinued. Still no good option as a replacement.
The other costs about the same a month - but just for the medication alone.
While compounding can be a useful option, insurance doesn't apply so cost can be a barrier to care.
Really glad you have an affordable option that works for you.

Office is put back together.

That was quick! Hope the decon resolves your reactions in this area.

Well it is lined up with wall and I had to.shim a corner because shit is not square and even though I measured 284645739 times I messed it up.....

I think it looks ok... I will get some wood putty and try to hide the stacked shim....

It isnt coming out of there.... that is for sure

See? You did a great job! It looks perfect in that spot. A bit of wood putty and you'll be the only one who knows there's a shim in that spot.

I remember my late aunt having a box of dipping chocolate sent from Germany. Yes the memories are amazing...drooling just thinking about it

Love those childhood memories!

Got the grocery shopping done before the rain hit this morning. Everyone is napping and it's quiet in the house. The sky is overcast and I'm laying in the recliner reading another story...in peace. Coffee sounds good right now.

Peaceful house, a good read, and good coffee? Sounds like someone's living the dream!!

Got it.... they look yum....

When I made pecan rolls for hristmas I wish I would have taken a pic of them before I baked them.... I was so proud of the tight swirl I got....

It's all in the swirl. No matter the recipe, it seems a tight swirl is a challenge but bakes all the difference.

It was a nice family get together, and we had a Zoom call with my relatives from Kansas, Arizona and California.

It was fun, silly at times, and overall a nice time. Unfortunately, my daughter could not make it due to a prior coaching commitment. (the original date was last week, but snowed out…. She was upset…)

So glad it was a good time and you were able to include participants from both near and far.

for your daughter. It's so hard when events beyond your control prevent you from participating in Very Important Events such as this. While we understand "this is the way it is", it doesn't make it any easier.

No you’re not. Don’t expect perfection. You will do fine.

No one will ever know!! You did great!

Not just a boy job. Also a girl job!

Obviously…

many thanks. I felt bad for her. She was upset all week about it.

Wow. It's 7:30, and I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Had to fix a mailbox post earlier. Snowplows are hard on mailboxes. Had to break out the welder for that repair.

Office is back together, ready for tomorrow morning. Most sarcastic yay ever...

Neighbor stopped over with a part of his snowblower. Needed to help him get a bolt loose. Fortunately a little 'blue wrench' was all that was needed.

Then a birthday party.

It's been a busy day!
Good night everyone.

 

[Missk_2022]

I THINK she’s traveling for work. Not sure.

She is in Switzerland

Everyone finally woke up after their afternoon siesta around 1730. Nice long peaceful afternoon. I got a lot of reading done and another surprise tear jerker finished. I'm starting to see pattern.

Aunt Marilyn wanted dough burgers tonight. I'm not much on them myself but they were good. Didn't put a lot into tonight's meal as I got started late and everyone was starving.

Made a plate and took it to Mrs. Mitt as she was ill. Thinks she may have picked up the flu bug when she went to the doc on Friday. My oldest went with her and she just reported feeling yucky too. Soooo, me and the evil genius that is my red headed gamer girl are sequestered away from them making avatars on Roblox. She always finds a way to make it a competition. Tonight its whoever makes the best anthropomorphic dragon character wins. Wins bragging rights I guess. I never win as the judge is always her older sister. Fun tho.

Hope the missus and child either don’t get it, or if they do, that it’s an easy one.

Night lilianna...hugs

I hope you got good sleep! Did you have a good day?

 

[Lilianna23]

I think k @likes2watchU and I could get the over 50s and assorted general board recipe list going! L2… I’ll DM you early this week.

That's a great idea! We can add the gravies and breads, Wat's meatloaf. I was thinking of @Missk_2022's cabbage today. IDK if I bookmarked the post or not. Having a recipe thread would be ideal!

 

[Lilianna23]

We get wild raspberries here. They’re actually considered an invasive here. But yeah - in July, I’m picking at them.

The Himalayan blackberries are invasive here.

 

[Lilianna23]

Yes. TDK was a resigned traveller.


We were near the house and the pink-haired horn-rimmed-glasses woman who pulled up on our right saw That Damned Kitten standing in my lap staring out my window. She was making "such a cute Kitteh" faces, so I pulled TDK and switched sides for her. The woman loved it and loved it more when kitten pulled out of my hands and went to the passenger window to look at the woman until the light changed.


And "they" say that they're just dumb animals.

Awwww! You're such a good guy, Wat!

 

[Lilianna23]

I am the sleep watcher and congratulations on your sleep routine! Last night I found my way back to 7 hours of sleep well!

I'm so glad you got good sleep! I managed over 9 HOURS!!!
