When I go over today I’ll flip the whole box. I think I’m going to just replace that suspect receptacle and see if that works. I should have done that to start with but I had just bought a new outlet tester and was itching to use that!

Starting a repot of a juniper that was meant to be a bonsai but it ended up in a pot and became a yard ornament for 15-20 yrs. Going to start the process of making it a true bonsai today…if I can find the right pot. I’ll post some pics of the process if I can remember to bring the phone.

Have a great Saturday folks! LCMZ

You're going to ... (checks notes) ... flip the box?

The whole box? And nothing but the box?

 

[Lilianna23]

I’ll stick one in.

The box???

 

[Lilianna23]

Cleaned up gravel out of part of the yard. Maybe about 1/3 of the area that needs work this spring. Four full tractor buckets, about two cubic yards of freeking gravel. I cannot move. After collecting, shoveling and dumping it, I sat in the cab of the tractor staring at the ground trying to figure out how I was going to get out there. I almost decided to spend the night in there...

You need a nice bath or a hot tub! Then a massage!

 

[Lilianna23]

Thank you but as our future they deserve our time

So right!

 

[Lilianna23]

Too many syllables

Looks like a veto from G!

Bit of a love-hate relationship with Spring
Not yet but getting there
Let's see about a catch-up... in two parts

I said no fucking way. They are shit onions. That’s all they are as shit although they smell good when you cut them.

Maybe that's their purpose?
Lawn Care Aromatherapy??

Bitwarden

Not to be confused with Litwarden

No dishwashing liquid?!?

Protective Custody or Cruel and Unusual Punishment?

Have a thumpingly thrilling Thursday.

So that's what happened?!? jk

No one was injured in the bowling alley.

We had a wonderful lunch and walk of their 40 acres. There are so many wildflowers out, i cannot recall them all. More are emerging. We plan to go out again next week. Now I need to remember to take photos.

Thanks for the update...
Would love to see pics from the back 40

I will be home tonight to see if Mrs. Wonderer.

Pro-Tip! Schedule your Derm appt at 1240. In and out in 10 mins! Everybody was at lunch and the doc was walking in just as she was coming back from lunch. They asked what time I wanted next year and I said. Exact same time. Clean bill of health. Y’all got me for another year!

Maybe the term cold as balls comes from this

Always comes back to those Brass Monkeys
Origins of Cold as Balls and Cold as a Witch’s Teet

Go to Savannah for the gorgeous parks, history, architecture and then get tickets for a Bananas game. You won't regret it.

Thanks for the recco. I concur - minors are a good time!

Wife just told me I should write pamphlets for a travel agency.

With the right client... I say go for it. You never know.

It’s been a busy week so not time for the bar sorry. More about that in another post. In the meantime let me introduce Will who joined the family today. You will hear a lot more about him as time goes by.

Welcome, Will

Made an earlier bus cuz I was fuck all. Had bad news on a project I’m working on. I was responsible for 7 sub projects that make up a larger workstream that makes up an even larger project.

Got the eighth subproject dumped on me. Also the largest and most impactful one. I can’t do it by myself and will def need help. I was tapped out as it was.

Just venting. It’s just work.

Feel better soon hun. No bright lights and lots of caffeine...

Try some THC tincture if you have access to some
It’s a wonder drug for those

Sending soothing transatlantic vibes

I'm so sorry you don't feel well. Black out shades. Cool, dark, quiet room. Hugs, girl.

Wasn’t a migraine, but a super bad headache Monday night. Also thought it was weather related.

Thanks, everyone for the kind thoughts/words and advice! Feeling better.
@Wonderer67 hope your head is better, too

G’night all.
Watched The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming!
Great classic comedy. Might be an interesting remake.

So much fun!

Apparently, you Murricans are celebrating National No Pants Day today. Have a great day y'all.

I work from home. Everyday is No Pants Day (provided it's also a No Camera Day).

Sounds like an ideal spot for a Lit meet-up!

Oooh - good suggestion!

 

[likes2watchU]

Catch-up part 2

I'm sorry, W! It's so difficult when you going flat out and you get more dumped on your head.

It seems the more competent one is, the more work one gets.

Should be a compensation increase to go with it IMO.
Also, you are a finite commodity. Would be nice if management didn't abuse their office resources.

I do have one precancerous spot on my head that didn’t seem to go away with the medicine that was prescribed

How rude! Sounds like a forcible eviction may be needed??

I get checked every year, I think. I usually get a couple of squirts of liquid nitrogen to freeze off something here or there. No sugery yet.

No surgery is good news!! That liquid nitrogen is a game changer for stuff like that.

Don't think of it as clothing. Think of it more like wrapping on a present...

I like the way you think...

Yeah, but you have to pick a name that's easy to call.

Could you imagine him running around the hills calling "Bartholomew".

Works as a sing-song type of call. But when mad or urgent sitch... (first 5 secs)

Good Friday everyone. It’s 6:26 and it’s already started.

Tell me you're a crap boss w/o telling me...

You do know I have a pole and don’t mind sharing it
Exercise only I know where you’re minds go

*thinks of all the different ways I could injure myself trying that*

There will be lots of posts and vids. He wasn’t bestest at 3.00 am this morning but hey ho… lol

Are any of us at our best when the 3am Club convenes?

I think it’s in the fetish and sexuality forum. Maybe the bdsm forum?

You're so good at giving directions

@nipplecaresser great new avatar!

View attachment 2535428 Thanks for the shout-out, W. I would have missed it otherwise. Clearly not fully tracking yet.
Very fitting, @nipplecaresser

Long day. Mom still isn't home from the hospital and I had anxiety about going back to work today. It seemed she would only eat if I fed it to her so I ... Blah.

So sorry, M... hard being mom's favorite

either I fiddled with something and it “fixed” it or there’s definitely a short. So I told her, don’t touch anything till we get the electrician over.

sound advice... also, you said, "I fiddled with something"

I like the name rory but two rs may not be good fir a retriever dog who is working

Could work shortened to "Ro-Ro" but the ensuing serenades might be a bit demoralizing

Whew, first week in the field is over. Too many pages to try and catch up. Very down and up week. I think I'm getting the hang of it though. Now for bed and a relaxing Saturday. Night, all.

Congrats on your first week!! Sweet Dreams

Those are some FAST balls! ️️

I have taken oat milk (how does one milk an oat?), polenta, tofu, quinoa, sunflower, flax and poppy seeds...and put them all in the trash, where they belong. Sausage, eggs and bacon are available, along with hash browns, tomatoes and mushrooms. Oh, and fresh coffee too!

Hey! Those were mine! *taps foot*
I have actually been experimenting with Chia Seed Pudding. I need to find the right fruit or topper - a bit boring otherwise.
1/2 cup Oat Milk + 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
Mix, refrigerate, mix again at 10 min and 1 hour then let chill overnight.

I'm glad you're feeling better, Likes, but don't push it! Come back to us when you feel ready. You know that too much screen time can trigger or exacerbate headaches.

Yes - that's a tell for me. When looking at a white computer screen hurts, it's time to turn off all devices and go to bed!

Long days and I have to put my daughters off at night. I come home cook dinner and go to bed. They understand tho...I hope.

Knowing you, they know how much you love them and that these long days/nights are how your actions show your love for your mom. Not easy to lead by example

Send me anything you want to trash, except the tofu. I'll use most of it in my bread.

I'll take the tofu, too.

I finished mowing, cleaning the mower, and watering plants just before the rain started. Then came in, fed the dog, took a shower, fed myself, and tackled another project I wanted to do today.

I need a nap just from reading this... and what a lovely photo!

Hope everyone enjoys there Saturday! Whether it's snowing, raining,windy,or beautiful it's still another day when you get out of bed and your feet hit the floor before your face does!

Is that the way it's supposed to work?!?

We named this guy, booty mcbootface. You can see why we named him that.

He was the best kitty. (Rip) we rescued him and he had feline lukemia. He didn’t make it that long.

Any relation to John Bigbooté? iykyk

This friend is a decent lady but she is always last minute and never plans.

You know my mom???

But I am not an electrician and pretty much don’t know what the fuck I am talking about!

I am definitely not an electrician and for sure don't know WTF any of you are talking about

I’ll post some pics of the process if I can remember to bring the phone.

Yes, please and thank you

So go with MORE GFI’s? One for each room maybe.

Has anyone tried switching it off and then on again?

Cleaned up gravel out of part of the yard. Maybe about 1/3 of the area that needs work this spring.

only 1/3???

You need a nice bath or a hot tub! Then a massage!

Yes - and then hire a bunch of kids to pick up all the rest. Pay them in candy.

You're going to ... (checks notes) ... flip the box?
The whole box? And nothing but the box?

Good night, sweet girl!

 

[likes2watchU]

Early night tonight.
Didn't accomplish much, but did get caught up w/o a set back.
Sweet Dreams all

It may surprise you to learn that I, too, am not an electrician and very much do not know what the fuck I am talking about!

In general or just when it comes to electrical matters?

Another successful day in the books! I took my girl to Costco. I just had a few things on the list, but ... Costco! I did see a cool wooden gazebo there. I'm wondering if it would be a worthy addition to my deck. I do have a canvas sail cover that I could put up but I can't do it by myself. I could leave the gazebo up year round.

I'm taking my newlywed friends to the airport at 0200. They're headed to Mexico for their honeymoon. The one night when I could fall into bed early! Oh, well. I can sleep when I get home.

It's coolish and rainy tonight. It will be great sleeping weather! 🌧

Have a good Sunday!

️

 

[nipplecaresser]

Come on over!

 

[nipplecaresser]

Good morning coffee comrades. Have a super Sunday (or a super special Sinday)

In general or just when it comes to electrical matters?

Only when it comes to anything practical, electrics, plumbing, construction, engine maintenance, putting a shelf up! Anything else, I'm a fucking genius!!
