It has been tough these last few days. Picture crawling around in the attic thru blown in insulation with record temps in FL trying to find a leaking water pipe!!!
Happy Monday!

Punkins for the 4H fair are doing well.

I won’t be planting them for another couple weeks, but I also have to get started on some early flowers for our farmstand.

Will you come mow mine when you're done?

I decided not to mow today as it rained hard last night and again today. I think it might be hard to try to mow tall-ish, wet grass.

I'm not certain my neighbor's mower is up to the task. I think I'm going to take myself to Lowe's tomorrow in the truck and buy the Toro mower as it comes with an extra battery.

Sounds like a good deal. And a good idea to wait till the grass dries a little bit.

I have decided that the term "working supervisor" is truly ridiculous. One can do one or the other, but one cannot do both. Nothing effective happens. This is a lateral "promotion" for "supervisors" and when they get rebuffed for supervising by their co-workers, they revert to working and there is no supervision.


I will have to have serious chats again with work weasels to start the week.

Good morning diners and hope your coffee is strong but smooth like your partner . Of course that depends on your personal preference.

Agenda is to celebrate my granddaughter’s birthday, take my grandson to his autism center and make a hearty veggie bean barley soup.

Winter decided to snow on spring this week. Not much fun with that. And freeze tonight means spring flowers will be affected.

On my way.

Rock Island 1911, 10mm, single stack, some hot rod pieces, black/black, was $749, not $439.99. The picture won't link. I blame Lit.

Get it...get it....get it......

 

[Wonderer67]

Where my boy, @HumpDayHoratio , been??

 

[Missk_2022]

So, not tall . . . .

Perfect enough to reach the top shelf most of the time ..... and no one gets q back spasm to give me a xo

 

[Wonderer67]

You're right. If you have a full load, you can't effectively supervise. If you're supervising, you can't manage a full load.

You said “full load.”

Twice.

My riding lawnmower won't start qnd my push mower pull string thingy is broken......

Morning b2.

Sounds like you have another nice full day on tap!

I hope the freeze is not too severe.

 

[Missk_2022]

I agree.

You should stencil it with "this is lils barrow m- fer

 

[Wonderer67]

Also I am a bit sad as my partner has to quarantine until she knows what virus her granddaughter exposed her to. It’s the best for both of us older folks.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully nothing too serious.

Oof. That is not for the faint of heart.

Hope you find the issue. I’m sure I’m not telling you anything you don’t know, but check the fittings and couplings first.

Edit: could the record temperatures be making condensation?

 

[Missk_2022]

It's unconscionable for a hospital to ban any patient.

I'm glad you can look after each other.

And illegal to refuse treatment if they take Medicare or medicaid.... sounds like an emtala violation

 

[Wonderer67]

That sounds yum...except for the kidneys.... Iran i would try it...bur don't tell me they r in there....

Iran, Iran so far away…

 

[Missk_2022]

Your body is just recalibrating!

I am really frustrated

Damn, I wish I was there to help.

Sometimes just gotta fire the middle finger at the universe.

You're right. If you have a full load, you can't effectively supervise. If you're supervising, you can't manage a full load.

When I was working staff, I always hated it when the unit was short staffed and I was the charge nurse. You either overloaded your staff or you took patients. I wouldn't overload staff. Neither job was done effectively. It happened a lot at night because there was no place from which to pull staff.

Yep

The temps were in the 90s. It was a leak at a fitting, 3/4" copper pipe. I got a Sharkbite fitting so I wouldn't have to sweat (must be a pun there) the repairs. Took 3 days because I had to put down some plywood to craw around on after I pushed the insulation out of the way. There were some words I will not mention but it is good now!

Sounds like a shit show.

Glad you got it though. Shark bite is the shit. Totally changed plumbing so it shithead like we can even make some basic repairs.

(Found out the hard way that I should shut the water off in the winter at our farm building.)

That child is a little germ factory... didn't she get her sick a little while ago?

 

[Missk_2022]

I would like to get a 1911.

I decided this year was the year for some iconic handguns. Hence the Colt Python earlier this year.

I was thinking a .45 1911 or an old school revolver.

Get what you want...u deserve it
