I heard the smoke was really bad in the Detroit area today.

Extremely so. Unhealthy status.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

I hope you got more sleep, B2!

I did. Thanks for asking and head a good day.

Insomnia at 330 again but I was asleep by 8 pm last night. I probably had 6 hours at least.

I feel decent.

Anyway good morning diners. A grandpa taxi for my granddaughter today. Take care and be safe.

Sorry the whole enchilada shit the bed today, Wat.
Crap way to start the week.
I'd be ready to squeeze some nuts, too, in your place.
Side note: Today is Monday, isn't it? Did I lose a day?

Wat will be okay because he already is okay. Besides, it's a golden opportunity to engage in some Very Creative Thinking.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Well
That sounds like a ball of shit. Also sounds like things can only get better.

There may be protein snacks as a result . . . .

Scary

Nope ropes live on land and sea

The landlady was repairing a gate one day last week. It was falling apart and she decided that it didn't need to do gate things any more so she made it into part of the fence. She observed while she was working that a snake was watching her do it. She said it stayed there for several minutes and managed the job.


Who knew?


Then again, this is the same woman who was working on the fence in the back past the pasture in the woods down toward the creek and something feline growled at her. She responded, "how dare you growl at me in my own yard?"


It left silently.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I know. I'm having to do things myself now that I didn't have to before. I'm learning.

The Key is to pay attention, Grasshopper.


And to bring along The Brain . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Did you get there safely? Mom asking!

Of course. I'm kinda big and quite hard to kill, it seems.

 

[nipplecaresser]

I did get back to sleep. Now I’m getting some of OM’s coffee.

Does she know about this? If there is one thing that I wouldn't dream of taking from OM, it's her coffee! You are a braver man than I!

So, I miss a couple of days worth of content... So what exactly did I miss???

Just getting buried in summer stuff, so it's been difficult keeping up. Still slowly working on the old rusty car. One side is done, with four patch panels needed in addition to the big panel. Took out the rusty panel on the other side, and hopefully that's less work.

We've been getting a lot of smoke from the Canadian fires. AQI numbers finally allowed a lawn mowing last night. Now it looks like a mowed hay field!

Planning a quick trip this week. Celebrating being married to the same woman for a quarter century, so we figured we'd do something special. Spending money on vacation, as opposed to spending money at home!

Anyway, hope you all have a good day. I highly doubt I'll be able to catch up on what I missed. It's like 30 pages!

Congratulations

Thanks, @Tweedledude Time for some ginger tea I'm thinking

Said no-one...ever!

Get well soon. I suspect it will help to put the ginger tea straight down the drain.

Everything is perception

Everything . . . .

I think will share

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Up. Got coffee. Head has been running for a couple of hours sorting a away to make chicken salad out of this chickenshit sit-chee-ay-shun. Something will become apparent.


Hell, if anybody could do this shit, whatthefuck would I do???

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I think will share

With you? Probably.


Others might lose a hand.


Arm.


More . . . .

I did that for YOU! I was gonna add "lotsa balls" but thought that might be overdoing it!

Thank you! I feel so understood!

 

[Wonderer67]

I usually pinch a bit of ball dough to taste it.

You said “riding the bow…”

 

[Wonderer67]

I was looking for some Yellowfin Tuna to catch a few days ago and saw a pretty big sea snake. It's the first one of those I've seen in many years.

Sounds nasty….

 

[Wonderer67]

Thanks for watching over me, Dad! Yes, I'll be careful!

You tell him!

 

[Wonderer67]

I found one this weekend. Little Red Belly, about the size of a #2 pencil. I always move them to safe spaces when I find them. Put him under the wooden steps next to some bushes.

Had one a few years ago that loved curling up under the pool pump motor. Moved him to service the pump, and he headed right back. Had to move him a half dozen times before he got the hint. I put him back when I was done.

Fortunately we don't have any dangerous snakes here. If you see one, you can pick it up. I'm always moving them to safety, away from the mower and out of the driveway. They eat shit I don't want around, so we're on the same team.

Absolutely. I just missed a snake yesterday mowing. Glad he got away.

I’m always mowing around ferns, frogs, bees and other good guys.

Few years ago we had a giant rat snake in our pool shed where the filter and motor are.

 

[Wonderer67]

Well I ain’t gonna catch up today.

Off to corporate zombieland. Have fun.

Wats turn to do the dishes!

We were driving the other day in traffic on a back highway and ran over a black racer, one of the longest ones I've seen. I felt horrible about it, but it was unavoidable at our speed and with traffic. Black racers are one of my favorites.
