You have your own speedway! And a $5000 purse!

Today, there's none of those pesky "safety inspections" to worry about!

Chappy sez hello.

Hey, Chappy! Cool chair!

 

[Lilianna23]

Fresh out myself. Anyone have a coupon?

I gave all mine to Miss K!

 

[Lilianna23]

That gave me a laugh, 80/20 is also a line of aluminum extrusions and materials to build industrial equipment. We used it a lot to build converyor lines and materiial handling equipment.

In that case, probably the good type of 80/20!

Good morning diners! Did I catch Lili?

Sad news this morning as my heart goes out to passengers and family affected by the crash over the Potomac.

I have taxi duty this morning and looking forward to seeing grandchildren. No major weather so it should be an easy drive.

Dear Lilli, I had 7 hours of sleep! And you? Yours truly, the sleep watcher

I am beyond sad about the crash. From everything I've read and seen, it seems like it was preventable. With the cuts at the Federal level, it seems flying may become more unsafe.

Sleep - I got 8 hrs yesterday!

I'm glad you're getting at least 7.

 

[Lilianna23]

Habitat for humanity takes paint.

Great idea! Thanks!

 

[Lilianna23]

Sounds delish.

Very!

 

[Lilianna23]

A challenge or a threat???

Both?

 

[Lilianna23]

I saw that they were talking about like 4-6 inches of RAIN!

I could potentially be feet of snow in the high elevations

We're getting the rain right now. Mountains are getting dumped on. It also means avalanche threat. Generally WSP will close the freeway and highways through the passes for avalanche control after a big storm like this. It creates quite a mess for east/west travelers.

 

[Lilianna23]

I think it depends on the type of snow, how wet it is or dry it is. Temperatures, etc..

At least the rule of thumb that I grew up with was about an inch of rain = 10-12” of snow.

This is why no one and gives a shit if you get a 1/4” or. 1/2” of rain. But then wveryone complains when they say 2-4” and you get 6-8”

But then again snow on the East Coast is probably of the wetter variety than you get

(Heh heh)

Can I have the 10-12 inches, please?

Oh, wait. You're talking about snow, aren't you?

 

[Lilianna23]

No it didn't shatter.... made it all.the way down the steps without breaking. Hit a corner when it hit the wood floor and spider crack.... mercies for sure

Amazing!

 

[Lilianna23]

There are also certain states that sherwin Williams will take it....
Those states have paint laws of some sort

I'll check with Habitat first, then SW. Thanks!

 

[Lilianna23]

So glad you’re OK! Saved yourself and the mirror can be replaced. As others have eluded, horrible news. Prayers go out to all affected. Hug everyone a little tighter today.

MissK…just in care…this is for you. Stevie W did the great original, but Stevie Ray did it justice!

Great video, H! I'm just wondering if @Wat_Tyler knows Fred starred in it? Seems she was channeling Ethyl, maybe?

Someone has to stick up for the patient.

Ms. Patient calls me in tears because her short term disability only was approved for 30 days instead of the 90days her federally protected leave approved. Her landlord threatens to evict. I call the insurance. Upon examination the agent and I discovered that everything that I sent a month ago was received except for page 1 which had the date of expected return to work. The examiner failed to notice page one was missing and merely based their decision off of a random date that did not answer the question of when to return to work. The agent had a giggle and it's going funny just a little clerical error. I replied sir this is recorded line so I'm glad that this is going to record what I have to say to you I'm sure that the clerical error is funny so you're laughing and the landlord is laughing and the only one who's not laughing is the woman about to lose her home. I'm going to resend this and you are going tell me you've received the information. I need to know this is getting fixed today. There was silence followed by a yes sir. I'll call the claimant now.

Oh! You're a bad-ass! I love it! Thanks for sticking up for the patient!

 

[Lilianna23]

95% of people who do 5% of the work will butt in line to take 100% of the credit.

Yep. And act like it was all their work.

 

[Lilianna23]

It’s not like me but what a crap day that was. I guess I should have expected it the moment I saw the weather forecast. Of course the taxi driver who cut me up on the way to the Estate didn’t help! Why did his late day Licensed Taxi Driver…. Should read Licensed Dickhead!

Then the bloody weather yes the forecast was spot on….well nearly. It said it would rain and it did …a little, then a lot, then it pissed it down, then it really pissed it down. Then it turned to ice, then a blizzard, then it pissed it down again…five drives two layers of goretex and still wet to the knickers

I was wetter than an otters pocket and colder than an huskies balls…and miserable by the end of the day … but hey it was home time….except the van wouldn’t start….battery screwed! Typical French engineering you can’t get at it to attach jump leads…..what moron designs theses things?

Bump, started it with the help of a Keeper who towed me to the top of the hill!…great on my way to a warm house and hot meal.

Not a bloody chance the house was in darkness the power off for the last 12hours! That’s okay get the old gas barbecue out of the shed….dig out the old mice nest and connnect to the gas bottle…..except the pissing thing was empty.

Okay chip shop will do for a hot meal get there put my order through and the sodding power engineers walk in laughing and joking really….why aren’t you guys sorting out my sodding power outage? They didn’t stay to answer. Chipshop owner thought it was something he said….i didn’t say actually it was me; I wanted my supper.

Great fish and chips by the gas lantern…..pick up my knife and fork and the power comes on……really?

Aaah that feels better!

I'm so sorry for laughing, G! What in the hell did you do to piss off the gods of chaos???

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Friday!!!

They're on back order... along with the Highway Enforcer
View attachment 2481357

Can I put in an order for both, please?

 

[Lilianna23]

Como estas mi amigos

Hey, girl! How are you?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Sorry so late, but here's the pic I said I'd send View attachment 2481717

Thank you. I have never seen such.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

It's been clear and cold here for weeks. Clouds rolled in today, it warmed up a bit, and it’s now raining hard. 🌧

Looks like we have rain most of the day here. It'll wash off the remaining grime of Snow Dreck.

 

[Lilianna23]

I am hanging in there... had to run errands after work. Forgot one thing - so errands tomorrow, too.
Was hangry by the time I got home. Thought I would save time and eat a (rare for me) frozen dinner. OMG - those truly should be outlawed!! #FoodCrime
Got my protein fix though - dessert is a delicious, fresh pear. (SO much better!!!)

You??

Ugh! I rarely eat those now.

I made a pot roast the other night for dinner. I've been craving beef lately; I probably am in need of B vitamins and iron. I made it in my Instant Pot and used beer. While rootling around in the storage room fridge to see what type of beer my summer visitors left, I found Kilt Lifter Scottish Pale Ale. It made a damn fine pot roast. The leftovers have been repurposed into stew, which I will probably be eating for the next month.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Great idea! Thanks!

Spare the idiots who buy Habitat paint. They get half-used/unopened/wrong color stuff. The people who buy it thinking that they're getting a deal - aren't. Wat has been the victim of boss's decisions on this. As a homeowner and lifer builder, I'd never touch the shit.


Paint is truly one commodity where you get what you pay for. Buy the best you can afford.


Most landfills seem to take paint, or ask the paint store when you're buying fresh usable new paint.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Great video, H! I'm just wondering if @Wat_Tyler knows Fred starred in it? Seems she was channeling Ethyl, maybe?

No, Fred is different. So is Ethyl. They don;t announce themselves. You just start bleeding.

Cold michelada in my cup, warm dog in my lap and I am at one with my recliner.

Warm dog in the lap is the best part!
