Some things are meant to run dry. Like AK-47's, just kick the rust off 'em and use 'em!


Yep. Kinda like my Kubota "wheel barrel", it gets used for everything!

Everything!!!


Plus I had fun shoving shit around yesterday.


Got a text from a buddy asking, "You've been out digging up shit all day?"


It was only a few hours, not "all day" . . . .

 

[Missk_2022]

It had accumulated enough crud from cutting damp shit to lock itself up. I got that out and one blade is frozen in a dumb position. I'ma unfreezerize it hammeraciously.


Maybe a bit of lube for mercy's sake.


Did use the new old 'hoe to flip it over. How did I get along and get anything done before it arrived????

The old hoe is worth her weight in gold.... she is a great hoe

Let's name her

I knew that I like old hoes, but I had no idea how many uses a good old hoe has . . . .

S/he kinda got called Bo yesterday. I worked for a guy - okay, a raging asshole - whose toddler called them Bo. Best he could do with "backhoe," I suppose.


I guess it's still open, really.

Curious what you think of Sean (puffy) Combs verdict

Curious what you think of Sean (puffy) Combs verdict

You know, I think it's pretty funny years ago. Everybody was fighting for women's rights, started with the vote. Then equal pay. Now it's like men can join women's sports. And yes, they are men. You can take as many chemicals as you want. You're still a man, it's like certain. Individuals consider women less then transgender homosexuals.
Nothing against them, but there's a month of gay pride. Yep, we only have one Memorial Day. One fourth of july for people that fought and gave up their lives for our country, and still fight for our country.

I agree 100 percent live and let live but don't make me have to believe in your delonice or you automatically try to cancel me

I'm VERY proficient with restraints. Just sayin!

This is just getting better and better.

Once a drummer always a drummer. Did you have a favorite drummer? Mine was Ringo for awhile. Later I admired Buddy Rich among others.

I used to teach drums and learned percussion in band.

I like the Beatles quote: “Ringo’s not been the best drummer in the Beatles.”

I like Keith Moon a lot. He was a bit of a nut.

Like Meg White from the White Stipes. She did a lot with so little.

Clem Burke from Blondie (he just passed)

David Robinson from the Cars.

Bun E Carlos from Cheap Trick

Morning Spoon. Spent all day at the hospital with my mom. She had a successful procedure and will be home by noon today! One down, one to go. Thanks so much for all the love and support! I means more than you’ll ever know.

Off to work today. No time to catch up. Have a great day and I’ll leave you with a river morning Z…always time for that!

Glad the procedure went well!

Safe travels!

Morning all...
This may take me a while but I'll give it a go...
UPDATE: yeah - I started this 12 hours ago
How you doin'?

Hey, hey, hey!

Guessing I'm a "sad coffee person" since I drink decaf?

Lillianna and I want to know if we can paint it pink... and sparkle something...seat cover maybe

Methinks some bedazzling might be necessary!

I hope to be home in time for proper fireworks and people dressed up like flags.

Here is a question what was your first concert and can it date you. I saw AC/DC with Bon Scott on the if you want blood tour

I had about a decade of fabulous Irish/Celtic groups performing at Irish Fest Milwaukee before I ever went to a concert, concert. High expectations were set.
Makem and Clancy
Barley Bree
Schooner Fare
Tannahill Weavers
Cahal Dunne
The Chieftains

Sort of like Playboy encouraged my reading. Those articles.......

All reading counts... all (just not the pictures)

I went today. One store had cherries on sale; another had blueberries on sale. Had to get both!

Win Column!!*
*spoiler alert

Mine, too! I got loads of marriage proposals after recovering open hearts all night!

Huh - I got mine from 1) a ripping belch, 2) mimicking the Scottish brogue from my year studying abroad*
*IF it was any good then - it's rustier than an old barn nail now

Indeed! Thank God there was no internet or cell phones during that time of my life!

I don't know how the kids do it. I think my lucky every day!

I'm VERY proficient with restraints. Just sayin!

I've had some practice but am open to an apprenticeship

Add: shit-fer-brains!

Done! Thank you

OK. I'm exhausted now!

Right? Just the read-through alone

ASTM was our go to for standard procedures ! A fantastic job RJ and be proud of your time there.

Is Cürmudgeôn playing the bestival??
RJ on sax and me playing drums. Who else is in.

You play drums too? I can play other percussion instruments!

For the band, we need a lead guitarist who can play Santana, a bass, keyboards, and vocals. I think our lovely pink gals, MissK and Lilli, can be the chorus line. Just my thoughts after reading yesterday posts.

Today I “play” drums is almost like saying I’m also a pilot because I can drive a vehicle.

But yeah… I’ve been known to venture behind a drum kit from time to time.

Once a drummer always a drummer.

Auditions Now Open - See the boys in the band at the back of the café for details

Don't be impressed..I googled it

Never underestimate the power of a good Google or YouTube search... knowledge is power!!

I used to hate cherries now i love them ...really live the ranier ones

I've not tried those yet, but just bought more Bing Cherries yesterday, so had them for breakfast :cherries

No witnesses

OMG - yes... such a good thing!!

I had to buy a new batt'reh for the little one. Fuckin' $170!!! But then it started, so there's that.

I had to do the same a while back for my car, which has been really good about maintenance all these years. So, small price to pay overall IMO.

The oldest goat is a skeerdy cat, so he runs from the tractors. I hate to say it, but I kinda like to give him the opportunity sometimes.

And L2

Awww - thanks for including me

Absolutely and expect harmony!

Harmony is beautiful... but tougher than it looks
I better start brushing up

Yes it is.
This thing is rated to be able to dig 14'.
Think of all the "neat things" one could bury at that depth.

Making a list
Checking it twice

I left the fone in mah truck.
Go figure.

Did you have a favorite drummer? Mine was Ringo for awhile. Later I admired Buddy Rich among others.

I'm blown away every time I watch one of his videos...

Wow - I was impressed in the 80s with Rick Allen of Def Leppard.

Win win.

Or as @likes2watchU will say.

“Put that one in the win column!”

You betcha!!

I made the most delicious dinner last night....

1 lb hamburger
The tops of 2 candy onions chopped up.
Some spinach

Sautéed it all til hamburger was done and veggies were cooked to my liking....

Deglazed pan with 1/2 a box of beef stock

Added salt pepper, granulated onion and garlic and some dried parsley

Let it cook a bit..

Then I melted in 7 squares of laughing cow garlic and herb cheese ( 8 in a pack but I ate one a week ago with pretzels)

It was sooooooo good

Mmmmmm. Sounds yummy!

 

[Wonderer67]

Like thus guy?

I'm blown away every time I watch one of his videos...

um, nope!

Nothing like that dude! He’s got talent.

I’m more like a really bad Ringo.

 

[Wonderer67]

Where is your favorite beach?

I like Gunnison Beach in Sandy hook. It’s a local nude beach.

Naming Contest - Now Open
In the meantime, whilst we deliberate... anyone want to sing harmony?

"Baby Got Backhoe"
Parody of "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot

[Intro]
I like big backhoes and I cannot lie
You other builders can't deny
That when a rig rolls up with that arm so strong
And a bucket scoopin' on—I'm gone!

[Verse 1]
I get sprung when I see that swing,
Steel treads, boom arms doin’ their thing
Lifting loads, diggin' deep in the dirt
I’m watchin’ that cab and I’m feelin’ alert!

Oh, baby—I wanna operate ya
And smooth-grade with ya
Those hydraulics got me tweakin’
Front loader dreams while I’m sleepin’

[Chorus]
Ooh, full throttle!
That diesel engine’s my role model
Use it, move it, break that ground—
Even Bob the Builder would be proud!

[Bridge]
So fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your site got the scoopin' stuff? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to rev it! Rev it!
Rev that big ol' backhoe!

[Hook]
I like big backhoes and I cannot lie!
Smooth on tracks, they terrify!
When a digger creeps in with a long boom stick
And a counterweight thick—
You get whipped!
