Largely packed. Partly loaded. Vehicle swapped out - the truck does road trippin' this week. Wat needs new office goodies. Plus, the truck rides better even if it does drink more petrol.


Time to dance the dance of the Sleep Weasels.

Night hun.

Ugh... supply chain and shortages. So over it.

Doesn't he play for them?

I manage Supply Chain Shortages. I also wrote their songs.

Apple and peanut butter? Hmmmmmm
New one for me. I don't get around much.

It’s a good combination!

 

[Wonderer67]

I eat an apple a day, sometimes two. i need to gain some weight so may add peanut butter to eating the apple. Dip it?

Or cut it up first and the schmear some PB on it!

 

[Wonderer67]

I buy 2 different kinds of natural PB
One is fairly stiff - I use for my apples
The other is drippy - I use when making Protein PB Balls*

* @Wonderer67

I don’t know even where to start with this post, or sub dudes.

You said drippy, stiff AND protein balls (and a preemptive heh heh for protein balls for @Lilianna23 too!)

 

[Wonderer67]

I wear reading glasses and I have fifteen pair lol... i feel like i'm at an AA Meeting

Me too. I buy three packs at a time in flat black from Home Depot.

 

[Wonderer67]

LMAO!
I LOVE your analogy!

You said “anal.”

Haha. I made a lot of logs today.

I split a cord of wood!

But did not stack it. Too goddam hot and humid. That is cooler weather work.

 

[Wonderer67]

I remember, years ago during a hurricane, a semi-submersible broke loose, hit the Rowan jackup rig that we were servicing and put it on the bottom.
...the bigass semi, ended up on the beach!

You said “jackup rig”.

Honest question - what is that??? Do I wanna know??

 

[Wonderer67]

Only time for a few page catch-up today.

Blackberries still going. Put 4 quarts in the freezer today. Also managed to get paint on the new sheet metal on rusty car. Waiting for some sealant to arrive, and can finally start putting that back together. I really want that out of the garage.

Next up, the field needs mowing, which will start tomorrow evening sometime.

Hopefully have some time tomorrow to do a more proper scan of the chatter.

Sounds like you’ve been busy!

We didn’t get nearly as many wild raspberries, but we pulled a few gallons out of the plants on the trails on our farm.

 

[Wonderer67]

My granddaughter is still under the weather. My grandson dropped a heavy can on his feet. I am not sure I am taking them tomorrow to their daycare.

Relief from heat and humidity is one the way!

A good day with my friends too.

Have a good evening.

Sounds like a good day - cept the grands not feeling well and getting hurt.

Hope they’re both on the mend soon!

 

[Wonderer67]

You know, I went out drinking with my friends last night. I really have to talk to them about that. How drunk they get. They dropped me 4 times carrying me home. That's just unacceptable...

Totally inconsiderate!!

 

[Missk_2022]

For those keeping score... we are 30 min past the time he threw out. No text, no call. In fact, my phone says his may be offline

Off to make some coffee & a nibble. Maybe and peanut butter

I feel your pain

 

[Missk_2022]

I use an apple corer so I can just dip slices like chips. Not sure how drippy the peanut butter is but I think it is fairly stiff.

Wonderer?

Wonderer?!?!

 

[Missk_2022]

Huh - woulda thought it safer on the rig given their size... then again if they go down

*giggleSNORTwheeze* OMG - too much!!
Mine are built-in to my eyeglass lenses. Of course now I'm on the cusp of needing a power bump. So I'm constantly taking my glasses off to see something up close. Which is wild since I'm legally blind without my glasses.

rookie then?

Go down... WONDERER!!!!!!!

 

[Wonderer67]

Wonderer?

Wonderer?!?!

I’m a head of ya, girl!

 

[Missk_2022]

I’m a head of ya, girl!

I think you are...... In many things.....!

You said head

Touché!!

Hurricanes are amazing things. So are tornadoes.

We had a windstorm Out West on 3 March 2023 that hit up around 60MPH. It did fuck up some shit. And that was just a very windy afternoon.

The storm we had the other night had winds up to almost 80mph. Glad I slept through most of that one. The wind from most storms comes from the direction my bedroom window faces. I know it won't shatter - but sometimes it rattles so loudly I wonder.

Hopefully have some time tomorrow to do a more proper scan of the chatter.

That's a lot of busy on your end... no worries about keeping up. Thanks for checking in though - we'd worry otherwise.

Relief from heat and humidity is one the way!

Woot - Win Column!!
Good thing the littles are so resilient. Hope they're both on the mend soon.

This has been so much fun today - thanks to everyone who played along

Haha. I made a lot of logs today.

You said "logs" - that's gotta be a euphemism, right?

Honest question - what is that??? Do I wanna know??

It's @Boat1 ... so I'll say prolly proceed with caution

I feel your pain

Yes, we are in a Club I'd rather just quit

So, 10:30am in his world translates to 1:30 in mine.
He got a fair bit done. Still have a few things to finish up tomorrow - not sure when he'll be back, but I'll be working so not really "trapped at home" like today.
We ended the night with him sending me on a snipe hunt for a 4" outer diameter toilet flange (aka escutcheon plate) for a 3/4" pipe.

 

[Wonderer67]

So today was a busy day. I had a text thread going with my old army buddies that was hilarious. They jointly decided that to revoke my army driver T bar award. That is awarded for safety, no accidents, 8000 miles incident free for tracked vehicles.

I’m seriously most proud of that award than just about any other award.

Ironically I was driving the skidsteer and checking my phone every 15-20 mins.

I finished up and cleaned up the vehicle.

Then insanely decided to split a bunch of rounds that have been out for a few weeks. It was hot and f-in humid.

Finished up around 4, jumped in the pool and just chilled… went shopping, grabbed a slice of pizza for dinner…

Now just chillin and watching the Mets. Back to work tomrrow.

Really great that you reconnected with these guys!!
I can totally see them revoking and you objecting... can understand why you'd be proud of the T-bar...

uh-oh... new nickname? T-bar

I’m glad he showed up!

same... now if the last few things would just get finished

A brief description and a pic of the Gorilla VI...
Note the "sawtooth" legs. One damn sure wants to keep their boat OFF of those!
