Heard something the other day that helps me to forgive people that have really hurt me badly
"Dont expect other people to be you"
It was pretty profound.....

My version is to lower expectations of others and you will not be disappointed.

Ysah ...that too

I found it was easy to say but difficult to do.

Heard something similar.

Golden rule: treat people like you want to be treated.

Platinum role: treat people the way they want to be treated.

(This takes knowledge of what motivates a person, their likes and dislikes, etc.)

And of course there’s the corollary, wonderers rule:
Fuck everyone except for my friends and family.

I guess it depends if you wanna play nice in the sandbox that day. I typically find it easier and better to play nice in the sandbox…

But there are times…

Good morning people? Every one safe in North Fl?

That is the burn

 

[Missk_2022]

[Tweedledude]

How are our Fla residents holding out? Stay safe y’all! Looks like we get the remnants by 9pm tonight. Got my gen fired up yesterday and all is well here. Got my moms fired up also. The only problem?

My dad had an electrician put in a generator feed to the breaker box for a back feed cord (suicide cord as it’s known) and left me instructions of how to hook it up.

Not actually having done it myself, I go to the source of all knowledge…U-Tooooob. If find out that my dad and his electrician buddy….well, they may have “skipped” a safety feature ( lock out kit) and I’m not exactly feeling the luv of using this thing especially with my 81 yr old mother alone and me heading back to work. So looking for an electrician to bless it or maybe redo it with a safer hookup…possibly even a new main breaker box as this one is well over 50 yrs old.

Anyone got a # for a good electrician? .

So, here is some stormy Morning Z!

I agree. If, save for those in this Bar, you treat everyone as if they are an arse until they disprove the theory you are never disappointed. The arses live up to expectation and the others pleasantly surprise you

Well it’s rained all day so I am sitting at the desk tying flies for the weekend. I have two days at our Country Fair supporting the River Trust by tying and teaching. It will be a long weekend! We set everything up Friday and I am hoping there is room for us to work comfortably

 

[BlackSatinKnight]

Good morning everyone. What’s going on? I’m gone for a week and I’ve got almost 40 pages to read so I can catch up? How am I supposed to get any work done today?

Better get to reading

I have to find the antique flies... they are in a tiny tin somewhere in my house......

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Storm clouds gathering now. Looks more like rain. Not as bad as FL, GA,SC,NC.

 

[BlackSatinKnight]

We could use the rain here. Multiple wild fires burning, we’ve been in the 90’s to 100’s for the last week. The drought monitor shows parts of the state in severe drought. No relief in sight until Thursday, although we are supposed to get t-storms this afternoon. Hopefully the lightning doesn’t spark any more fires.

The antique fly tyer might be I interested.

Good morning, everyone.
Cloudy and raining here so far

I was handling a work issue

Is that what they're calling it these days
jk - I'll have plenty of my own in the coming weeks. Massive software update in T -11 days

I actually do a lot of this. I have a crippling arthritis which is why I'm on infusions. If I'm in one position too long or move around too much, I wake up. If I can get 5 hours, it's like 8 for everyone else. I am working on it though. I don't give up easily

I hope that 5 hour sustains you. But also hope if they help that you get plenty of opportunities to nap.

There are replays of it bouncing around.... like people have put it on slow mo for effect

That poor, young man. Imagine having that follow you around into your twilight years?!?
Long after all the attention from the ladies has tempered.

We were coming home on Saturday night and it was cattle throw-down night. The neighbor had 5 cows get out. THey're Angus cattle, so it takes some paying attention to see them. So there's that but of excitement. It makes Life Away From Town entertaining

You're having all sorts of fun these days, Wat

So I'm making replacements, and they are going to be Weapons Grade.

OOOh, have you shopped for the door pull hardware yet? Missiles? Rifles? Canons? Inquiring minds would like to know more

I did feel kinda sorry for the two large calves that seemed to be genuinely scared.


Is it still rustling if you find them out in the road???

I'm going to need to work on this more

Good idea to get this reviewed/updated

I agree. If, save for those in this Bar, you treat everyone as if they are an arse until they disprove the theory you are never disappointed. The arses live up to expectation and the others pleasantly surprise you

This sounds like a solid approach. POV & managing expectations.

Looks at the time... *scampers off for mid-day nap*

Back in a bit...

Good luck. Safety is first and foremost, and always paramount.

Maybe have ur mom over rather than a last minute repair?? (Just a suggestion, don’t kill me!!)

Love this!! We have a county 4H fair coming up where they have all kinds of cool competitions - veggies, flowers, farm stock, tractors, tractor pulls, exhibitions (like what you describe) and rides for the kids… and of course… fireworks.
