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.

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.

Of course you do

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!)

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.

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.

I’m glad he showed up!

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

 

[Boat1]

You said “jackup rig”.

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

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!

 

[likes2watchU]

@Wat_Tyler is right - this supervising weasels is tiring work!
IDK how you do it day in and day out, Wat

Sweet dreams everyone
Don't know about you, but I'm tuckered out!

 

[Lilianna23]

Once I'm up I'm up... lol. Night hun.

I'm that way, too.

 

[Tweedledude]

Yes indeed time to call it a day and sleep. Night all

 

[Wonderer67]

Night all!!

Wow - the mets win two in a row!

 

[Boat1]

Yes indeed time to call it a day and sleep. Night all

Good night and here's to deep, peaceful sleep for you and all of our fine Spooners!

 

[Lilianna23]

Happy Sunday.


I was thinking of this as I went along trying to sleep here and there last night. I have a mixed bag with Bo. Whereas I'm all about beating rented mules (not really, but it makes a good story, and I will be kinda rough on rented equipment), Bo is going to have to get treated more like a Barbie or more accurately, a Tonka, because Wat is the one paying the repair bills.

Oooh! I bet Bo would love it if K+ and I painted her PINK! With glitter! ️ Then she would really feel at home in her Barbie fun house! ️️

 

[Lilianna23]

Oh, and I snuck a smartassed crack about Lili past Lili without reply.


That doesn't happen often.


But I do have a PM, so there still might be trouble afoot.


Maybe aankle and aknee, too

You WHAT?!?!??? Now, how far back do I have to go to find it???

 

[Rj_1954]

I'll be back on Monday

 

[Lilianna23]

I getting tired of the heat and humidity of this summer too. Bring on Autumn!

It's been humid here lately, too. It rained intermittently on Friday during the day then let loose that night. This weekend it's been hot, humid, sticky, and threatening to rain. Autumn here brings big rains (it's our monsoon season) but at least it's cooler!

 

[Lilianna23]

Sounds like a good reason for a new barn to me!

Painted Barbie PINK for Bo!

 

[Lilianna23]

Yawn....I am ready to be home

But you had a great time! ️

 

[Lilianna23]

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

Did he ever contact you?

 

[Lilianna23]

Laundry is done.


However, it isn't putting itself away.

Damnit!

 

[Lilianna23]

I will always be an engineer. I will retire my license when I decide to stop using it for professional work.

Likewise. I'll always be a nurse. It's just an integral part of who I am.

 

[Lilianna23]

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

Apple and PB is DELICIOUS!

 

[Lilianna23]

It is Sunday! No?

That was yesterday's, S. Keep up!

 

[Lilianna23]

It's a delightful combination IMHO
Then again, I seriously dislike celery so...

I love PB on celery, too.
