We had a romantic Valentine's Day, shoveling the rest of the roof. That was a miserable job this year.

And to anyone who's worried about us falling off the roof, there's a pretty small drop, and lots of snow below. Wife just slid off the roof when we were done. It was like a 3' drop.

Then putting everything away, I slipped on the concrete garage floor and landed flat on my back. Forgot how much that hurts! Although all the snow gear on cushioned it pretty well.

Needless to say, we were tired enough not to bother checking in here for the evening beverage.

So.... Good morning to you all!

Glad you came out relatively unscathed.... HVD a little late

Where was tdk?

On her box in the front hall, meeting me at the door.


She did again when I got back with groceries. Remind me to go earlier if I do this Saturday shit again.


She's on the computer table now, flicking her lovely plumage.

Right. I get groceries like the Israelis get hostages rescued from Entebbe. No fooling around. Unfortunately, I was at Walmart, where the customers are extra-st000pid, or at least are at this particular store. The one Out West is so much better. Today was post-VD chocolate 50% off sale day, and the amount of pink shit going through the lines was amazing. There will be some sugar comas and expanded waistlines in the coming week. Of course, half that shit wasn't ringing up right, so the front end manager was losing her mind, the poor dear. She almost bulldozed Wat - she bounced off - and was so apologetic. Wat kinda liked the contact, actually.

I almost beat some woman's ass for her and her smart ass daughter yelling at my mom..... my mom said " excuse me please" I had stopped to smell a candle but I scooted right in there and said in a scary er nurse voice " do we have a problem here" and when they saw me they started...I cut them off and told them that they needed to head on down the aisle or there was gonna be one...... they heeding my advice.... i can be a little scary and NO ONE is gonna be mean to my 80 year old mom or any 80 yr old in my presence.....

I don't think I told this one. I was with a former g/f getting gas in Massachusetts. She was driving. I think I had to pee and got out while she was getting into line. She ducked up to a pump that some guy thought he was in line for. By the time I got back out, he was giving her a raft of shit. Give her credit, she stood her ground all the while pumping gas. I walked up behind him and snarled in his ear. He almost shit himself and vamoosed pronto.


The only people who get to pick on Mom are my brother and me.

Selling firewood left and right today. Had till fill up all five bins at our stand and also had to deliver a cord to one customer and another 1/2 cord to another. By the time we were done it was just starting to snow.

Once inside I had to draft a lease for the tenant at our farm who is storing stuff there. Now just enjoying hockey and college basketball with a beer.

Good, busy day.

Exactly.... my mom can be a handful...but she is my handful

Right.


I'd let you snarl at her, but I trust that she'd need it if'n you did.

Happy Saturday!!
I've been busy doing stuff around the house
time to check in and catch up... but first

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

The good news is we only got 2 inches of snow but some sleet. The storm warning was downgraded to a watch. They are forecasting about 3 inches. I can handle that.

I hope others are ducking this crazy weather.

Our dose of st000pid weather shows up middle of next week.


Just rain right now.


Come to think of it, I'm over that, too.

Someone will have to stand as godfather for the new baby.
You would be fabulous.

I've been running that Godfather schtick with my nephew/godson for most of his life and then giving my brother some shit for not making his kids watch one of the top 3 movies ever. At Mom's 90th b-day bash out (which my kids set up and I sprang for), he came over and was dutifully respectful, called me Godfather, and invited me over for coffee.
He was 25 at the time, so it was about time.

I still remember like it was yesterday...
Random Saturday morning and my uncle shows up
Uncle: Here, you gotta read this book!!!
Mom: Okay, I'll read it next.
Uncle: No... now! I'll watch the kids. You - go. read. now.
My uncle watched us the whole day while my mom sat in the living room and read the book he handed her.
Hours later, when she was done, they sat in the dinette and talked about it for at least 2 hours over coffee and cigarettes.
The book? Mario Puzo's The Godfather

Look at these absolute beauties!!!

When we were kids we called the Writing Spiders…
The legend was if they wrote your name, you were a goner!

so... the complete opposite of Charlotte's Web??

Or this recipe, which lives in our family archives.
https://www.sandwichtribunal.com/2024/04/kalakukko-finnish-fish-pie/

I'm thinking the archive is a good place for it.
JK - I miss having an extensive diet. Even if I never liked fish other than 2 or 3 select varieties of sashimi

Then putting everything away, I slipped on the concrete garage floor and landed flat on my back. Forgot how much that hurts! Although all the snow gear on cushioned it pretty well.

Glad you were still all geared up to help avoid a big ouchie!!

Sleep is a wonderful thing....

Truer words!!

Of course, half that shit wasn't ringing up right, so the front end manager was losing her mind, the poor dear. She almost bulldozed Wat - she bounced off - and was so apologetic. Wat kinda liked the contact, actually.

Shopping as a contact sport?

i can be a little scary and NO ONE is gonna be mean to my 80 year old mom or any 80 yr old in my presence.....

Queen!!

Cutie pie!! Look at those ears!!!

I hope others are ducking this crazy weather.

We got just enough to make the roads messy

 

[Missk_2022]

Right.


I'd let you snarl at her, but I trust that she'd need it if'n you did.

I just say " mom" in a tome...but I dont chastise her... she is an introvert and it would crush her..... I know how to change her mind without crushing her....

Knowing that she is 86 and unlikely to change helps

Mine doesn't respond until the volume goes up.


She's always surprised when she thinks that I'll growl but don't.


I usually snarl at the clueless shit.

Wow - I could go a lot
Of places with this…

In Finnish, the word kalakukko would translate directly as “fish cock”–cock being a word used to describe a male bird of breeding age, usually a chicken, and not whatever dirty thing you were just thinking. Google and other online translators render the word “kalakukko” into English as “fish cock.” However as Atlas Obscura points out, in Karelian, a Finnic language spoken mostly in the Russian Republic of Karelia (as opposed to Finnish Karelia), “kukko” means pie or pastry.

The Finn’s beat the Sweden’s today in hockey. It was a good game!
