How very perceptive my dear. You thought all those rolled umbrellas were just to keep the rain off. My friend tells me.......well perhaps I shouldn't say.

Now you have to spill, G!

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

I hope your sleep is better tonight, B2!

I wish it were. Woke up but need more sleep. How about you?

 

[Lilianna23]

I 3rd it.


How am I going to stay awake late enough this evening before I go to bed so that I don't wake up at 2AM?????

I hope you're sleeping now, Wat!

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

The phone needs charging so maybe it’s a message for me to roll over and sleep

 

[Lilianna23]

[Lilianna23]

Honestly, if I go out without a hat, my head suffers. I wear a boonie hat to cut the grass, and I think it helps a lot, too.


In other news, I finally got the clip release latch pin out of that damned rifle. The area inside the latch was full of oily/greasy funky crap. Toothbrush and Hoppe #9 to clear that, and bit of carb cleaner on the pin holes. Had my glasses on and still managed to get a bit in my eye. I also got the gas system off of the front end of the barrel. It's cleaner now, too. I may have to make a wee trough just longer than the length of a barrelled action to put these things in (I guess I'll buy another one of these cheapies and rebuild it) and let it soak. I probably should soak this in EvapoRust, too. I don't know - we'll see. Anyway, I put another coat on the front handguard because it just doesn't have the lustre of the other two pieces, so a touch more finish might do the trick. All the wee pieces are in the bowl with more Hoppe's to keep soaking - along with the bolt. I was toying with not disassembling that, but as bad as those other places were and as much shit as was in them, and with the empty bit in the bolt and the fact that Important Stuff lives there. Like the firing pin. Yeah, clear-n-clean.


I am learning a lot.

Wat! You DO know what safety glasses are... right???

I used to wonder when 8 would see people working in fields, doing roadwork or landscaping why every body surface was covered..... I know why and it is funny how a long sleeve shirt or a towel that blocks the sun cools you off

My grandfather would tell me the old farmers would wear long sleeves with long undershirts . The idea being they’d sweat and and that would keep you cool, along with keeping the sun off you. That same grandfather couldn’t get off the farm fast enough and moved to the beach!. He was also known to be quoted: “ Air conditioning is the greatest invention ever!”

Happy Fathers Day! Your mornings installment…

 

[Lilianna23]

How's everyone's <insert day part here> going?
Loving the cool weather today myself, but know a heat wave is just around the corner. Whoo, boy!

FOUND IT!!! Took some digging, but I did find it.
For anyone else who still needs it: @Lilianna23 Bread Recipe post

Love the pic - such good puppers!!!

Puppies and Kitties! Puppies and Kitties! Puppies and Kitties! (because incantations must be uttered thrice)

Really, Wat? I think we all know where that bug is now.

Get. the. camera. OUT. of. my. bedroom. Please!


Be good to yourself! Burnout is no joke and no fun!


Sunscreen is a must for me. I do hate feeling like I've been slimed though!

Hope the visit went well!

MissK knows where to find the bug!!

Better get a large pumpkin - sounds like these will be popular!

I was raised on them, too. So much fun!

Goodness - it was a bit infomercial, wasn't it?

The quiet ones and the overly polite.

Hoping that won't be me next month. I'm buying new sunscreen now and digging out all my sun hats. Southwest US in mid-July. With my glow-in-the-dark skin.

I'm the same skin, L2WU! One reason the PNW is perfect for me!

Hello Everyone

Hi, NB!

 

[Lilianna23]

*walks in to survey the Cafe*
Hello all.

My friend @Oldermom935 already checked my ID and I'm only three days away, so she let me in.

We're easy here!
But if the cops show up, we'll show you where to hide!

 

[Lilianna23]

Howdy!!!

I'm on Team Duck!

 

[Lilianna23]

Welcome @Azuldrgon
Happy (Early) Birthday!! and also:

@Wat_Tyler Not familiar with The Army of Ducks
Love this idea
My city is one of many that have started utilizing goats for landscape management of public areas to great success.

I'm calling it a night early. Today wiped me out. All is well, just tuckered out.
Sweet dreams all...

I hope you slept tonight, L2WU!

 

[Lilianna23]

Looks like the Henckels are a good compromise between quality and breaking the bank.


You're in charge, ma'am. I'm off to bed. I think that my plan to sleep tonight may actually take shape. Off to read.

You ought to know better than leaving me in charge, Wat!

I'll look into Henckels.

 

[Lilianna23]

I did. And now I need to get some sleep.

I hope you got some sleep, B2. As you can see, I'm still wending my way through this thread!

 

[Lilianna23]

I am sweet til I have to unleash the er nurse locked inside. I keep her chained up til I need her...she is a bitch and can slice a person to ribbons with a look and 3 words and leave you crying in the corner...... wink and offers a freshly baked cookie

I try to sedate mine with chocolate!

 

[Lilianna23]

They r brand new i touched the edge not cutting and my skin split open....to be honest probably My poor knife skills that caused the problem

And you don't even know you got cut! I sliced my palm on a new knife about a month ago. That thing was sharp as a scalpel! I can't even see the scar now!

 

[Lilianna23]

Thank you for the welcome and clarification. I’ve followed this thread for a while and I appreciate the camaraderie here.

Welcome! This is a fun thread!

 

[Lilianna23]

Sleep like a baby, girl!

 

[Lilianna23]

[LeBaronSamedi]

"scratching the back of my head as I enter, still in my bathrobe" Who's making all this noise on a Sunday morning? Oh, coffee!

 

[Lilianna23]

Same here. People sleeping in the same room as me don't need any repellant.

You're the magnet, huh?

 

[Lilianna23]

I don't plan to find out the hard way.

You ARE a smart boy!

 

[LeBaronSamedi]

You ARE a smart boy!

Thank you! "courtseys*
