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

Yes she did and does. The little ones go to day care which are the factory where everyone partakes of the latest virus. It’s pure speculation that as my GF’s daughter had the human parvovirus, the little one caught it from her mom. From where did the parvovirus originate? A mystery.

Fortunately none of my grandchildren have had anything but colds

I am sad today

You need a group hug

Morning all... feels very Monday so far
Let's get into it, shall we?

It's ummm well it's Monday and it's cold and it's soggy and wtf Ohio weather?!?!

See? Total Monday weather... cold but sunny here a bit NW of you in the Midwest. Computer says 26F, feels like 12F. At least that's above zero??

Nc... i have insomnia..... my brain is busy

I had that last night, too. Very irritating. Makes for a long day today. Looking forward to my lunchtime nap from the moment the alarm went off this morning.

You are sleepy, veeery sleepy...

Love the support and camaraderie at the café

I figured a pink wheelbarrow won't walk away!

I'm amazed what walks away or is treated very cavalierly by some workmen. Handyman ghosted me for the last 10 days. Checking in to see if he has availability this week to finish up. I may have to look for some YouTube videos to see if I can DIY the odds/ends that are left.

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.

Little Petri dishes of death. Sickest I've ever been are the times I've caught something from babies or very small children.

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!

Sorry it was such an ordeal, but glad you sourced and resolved the issue. Water leaks are insidious!

Where my boy, @HumpDayHoratio , been??

Shout out to @HumpDayHoratio - hope you're just busy with IRL stuff and all is well with you and the Mrs. That TKR recovery still coming along okay??

Iran, Iran so far away…

Good tune

I am sad today

Same. Got the news a close family friend passed. Frustrated b/c the news came too late to be able to travel for services. At least 1 family member will be there. Perfect world, all siblings would attend. Focusing on all the good memories helps.

Rider is John Deere
Push is a Toro

Both companies have solid reps. Hopefully an easy fix for both that doesn't break the bank.

Some changes to some tax papers we received means amending a whole bunch of returns. I pay someone to do mine, there is too much shit to keep track of for me to be able to do it correctly.

Mine are getting too complicated to do solo. I smell extension for this year.

Rough cruise

I seem to recall hearing this about The Drake Passage. As in, this is pretty standard???

I would be sick and scared to death

I would be tempted to stand above deck on the bow for funsies - but even with a safetly line, that's just dumb. But I absolutely would be standing in that center spot below at the windows. Amazing!!

Oooo lets not do that

Awww. Yes, dad.

You need a group hug

Excellent idea, B2!!

Oh my thanks for the catch up summary

Ya know what after thinking abut it this would be a great adventure for the 50's thread folks. what ya say?

 

[Noor]

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

I'm glad you can look after each other.

We agree. A bunch of us were fairly ill and in this hospital when they banned us for being “ too complicated and complex” when it happened.

 

[Noor]

Ugh! I need to work on mine. They still haven't released my 2023 refund. I'm a little scared to send in my 2024 taxes before that happens.

Still? Usually you need the previous years taxes to file the current year. Can you get an extension?

Ummm
I would be so scared i would find the tallest Spooner and climb him like a tree and hang on like a koala

 

[Missk_2022]

Is there such a thing as having a solar panel or device that I could run in my garage to keep things charged. Like my battery drill or my trickle charger for my lawn mower. If so how bigger device would I need to make it happen

 

[Wonderer67]

1040-X form?

My wife and I filled out the 1040 XXX form over the weekend.

Jk. (immature and proud of it)

 

[Wat_Tyler]

What is this? Part of the cats' armament?

That’s the head for that funky Packard engine up in Jersey that’s kinda for sale.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Shall I show up like this? I'll bring K+ with me!

Perfect

 

[Wat_Tyler]

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.

NOW $439.99. Spell checker fucked me. Again.


I saw a model 27 in the case of the gun store last Saturday. I’m sure I can do better elsewhere. I was there for some overpriced ammo from my new/old Beretta model 84. Think a miniature version of the model 92/M9.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

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

I think I’m there

 

[Wat_Tyler]

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

So, average….

 

[Wat_Tyler]

You said “full load.”

Twice.

She left out “dumped.

 

[Mittering]

 

[Wat_Tyler]

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.)

I’m okay with shark bite. Do not use them in a wall which you intend to close. I do not consider them to be a permanent repair.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I’m only laughing at this comment because of this conversation that will undoubtedly happen.

“ dont you have like seven or eight other handguns that pretty much do the same thing?” (I think she’s given up counting, which probably is for the best…)

“ yeah but not this particular handgun.”

I found a really good deal on M1A rifles, too.


Just saying….

 

[Greylag]

I figured a pink wheelbarrow won't walk away!

I wouldn't be seen dead pushing a pink wheelbarrow! @Lilianna23

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I am sad today

Shoot me a message

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Did you buy Frankenmotor or not?

Drumming my fingers waiting for them to get back to me with a price. I guess it was dad’s pride and joy. I hope that doesn’t mean that they think it’s worth the price of a beach house.


That engine would look great in my 47 coupe

 

[Greylag]

Who's the warden on duty? Remember to only show your boobs as a last resort!

What... really I am appalled you would even think of such a thing. Surely your silky tongue will get you where you want to be @Lilianna23

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Sounds like you haven't reached critical mass yet. Once you do, they are referred to as "All those guns". Then one more coming in or one going out doesn't matter, it falls below the radar. (Ask me how I know... )

How do you know???
