Who showed you the photos?

They're on the internet? Didn't you know?

Did mine last weekend. Seems I owe a bit, so it'll with until mid-April before it goes out in the mail.


With a check.


They get nothing early.


Ever!!!

That's the way to do it! I hate to pay, but after my (still unresolved) 2023 taxes, I think I'll start calculating how I can have a minimal amount to pay.

Yesterday, I got a missive from the IRS wanting a copy of my husband's death certificate in order to claim the refund from 2023. This is AFTER I have made monthly phone calls to them since December. They couldn't have asked the first time???

At the rate I'm going, you'll be in on it, damaging your manicure in Out West clayeybits.

Two words, K:

Gardening gloves!

And no one told my dog.

He didn't want to sleep an extra hour?

 

[Lilianna23]

Who discovered that you could take someone's temperature rectally and what is it that they were trying to do at the time?

Shall we show you?

My front porch light is working nicely so's I can look outside and see all the Dark out there.





I don't know why I remember all kinds of shit like that, but I do.

I changed the burned out lightbulb on my front porch yesterday. I had to climb onto a chair to reach it but I got it done! I'm ridiculously proud of myself!

 

[Lilianna23]

You should read some of the dms I get (ignore).... they are something

IKR???

 

[Lilianna23]

I looked last night. Mine has 6528.... I bought either last week nov 23 or 1st week December 23.....

You drive more in a year than I do in 3!

I have patience for a lot of things... just not sourdough bread

I used to have a starter and would make sourdough. It's a weekend kind of project.

Morning..gonna be sunny here

Raining and cold here. 🌧

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning! It is Sunday? I thought it was Sat. and now I see I have to change all the clocks. Time for coffee!

You're supposed to be the timekeeper, S!

 

[Lilianna23]

Very well. Have not had to service the hybrid cells, though have changed the main battery 3-4 times since acquiring it in 2010.

I've had to have my battery changed also. It has to be done at the dealership, battery stores won't touch it. My battery is under the back seat.

Wat was pretty good on one of these once upon a time. It's kind of like riding a bicycle - one never truly forgets. So, one is on the shooping list.


Speaking of shooping lists, Wat made one and forgot to take it to the store with him. No fear, as everything on the list got bought.

That's a good memory! I keep my lists on my phone now. I just need to remember to put things ON the lists!

Relative/friend of Ethyl's?

I should clarify, by "main battery", I mean the one under the hood; the same battery that all cars hold. I've had to change that one a few times, partly due to normal battery life and also for an electric short issue.

The " hybrid battery" is the set of batteries that run the electric system, when we're not on gas/petrol. THAT battery is still original. (edit to add: the hybrid battery is under the mat in the rear storage compartment)

I've been impressed by the Gen 1 Ford Escape hybrid.

Let's celebrate the time change by going to the best breakfast place in town and ordering the most carbo loaded breakfast. We can call it our semi annual cheat day...

I read this a CABO loaded breakfast, thinking, "Yes! I'm down with that!"

 

[Lilianna23]

Positively fucking brilliant!!!


I'm not leaving the house for a few hours, but I have ice cream, so . . . .

Oooh! Ice cream for breakfast!

Leftover fries in the air fryer!

 

[Lilianna23]

Is the moral of the story that some are just too hot to handle?

Yes. And they will burn you!

 

[Lilianna23]

Ok, seriously. I want details about how those heads got put together.

I'm half assed planning a pretty similar type of project. Well, maybe more like 7/8 assed. I have a block already. Need to scrounge heads...but know what I'm looking for.

"7/8 assed!"

 

[Lilianna23]

There is a plan to hunt down a couple more poodles. Maybe a draft poodle. They're yuge.

I love, love, LOVE draft horses! If I could have one, I'd have either a Clydesdale or a Belgian!

Guy jumps in a cab in NYC…starts chatting with the cabby…”How do you find your way to Carnegie Hall?” Cabby- Practice, Practice, Practice!

Yesterday started overcast and windy and kinda cool. By noon though, it was 74, sunny, and perfect weather for fishing! We drove up the road a piece to a place I used to pass over driving to college and would always think, that’s a nice spot. Well…it was! Just perfect! Caught a mess of fish, at one point three with a minute or two! Loaded up the cooler and fried ‘em sitting by the fire last night. It promptly got cloudy again today.

I hope everyone had/is having a great weekend. Enjoy the last of it. We were robbed of an hour of it

Glad you had a successful fishing trip, H!

 

[Lilianna23]

Get a Friesian! Warhorses I’ve been told.

They are gorgeous!

 

[Lilianna23]

Omg I will love them all.... there is a rescue called gentle giants where they rescue drafts and draft crosses.... some of them have been dumped for slaughter after working for the Amish for years and years..... because they aren't taken care of and break down.... you should see their hooves.... people should be shot...... I am no fan of peta but if you are gonna have an animal take care of it

How do they not take care of their horses?!?

 

[Lilianna23]

I know a few people in the Society for Creative Anachronism ( I know, I know not a great source to cite). There are two who ride horses as part of their re-creation and they both use Percherons. Take that as you will.

My mom was an SCAer. She didn't ride horses (that I know of) but was fully into the dressing, tents, and camping. She made her own tent. I was mostly glad she had something she liked to do to occupy her time. However, I was pretty mad at her when I found out she was camping during thunderstorms. She lived in Missouri. 🌪
