The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I bought the ace hardware decent ones.... looked just like the filtrete at half the cost.... I am ashamed to say I never thought of changing the filter during the summer..... I told you it is a boy job.... I feel sort of stupid though.... I know better....

I know how to hange i just messed up.... ugh.
Don't beat yourself up, girl! I don't even know where the filters go! 🙄😖 I should probably ask the contractor guy the next time he's here.
 
That is some fancy incense you have there ..... 90$ was a blessing. He is someone my parents use. He has customers that are older who have been told that they have to buy new ACs and this that and the other and he is like nope I'm not going to make these 80 year old ladies buy new air conditioners when I can get them limped along with r 22 that I have stockpiled and take care of them because they won't be living in their homes long enough to explain away the spend. He doesn't try to screw people over or make them buy things that they don't need. He is a blessing
He sounds like a great guy!
 
The dreaded hedge haircut recommenced today. My wife and I always argue over how to do this and I’m a stubborn guy so I refused to take her advice. And I was cantankerous about the whole project anyway.

This hedge trimmer is not terribly heavy but it’s completely unbalanced. It’s one of my least favorite jobs.

The hedge is like 15 feet wide and I use a large hedge trimmer to get as much as I can for the ground. Then we back the pickup and I put an extension (heh heh I said I use an extension) on the trimmer to get another 3 ft on it and give the middle a haircut. But my wife and I argued over the best way to do this.

But she had a best idea: take a piece of plywood and use it as a step on top of the hedge to get even further in (heh heh). It worked like a charm. I was basically using the plywood like a small surfboard.


Listen to your wife, W!!! She knows what she's talking about!
 
A little gentle humour to start the week

Last Sunday morning I got up at 6am to go fishing.

I got out of bed very quietly, got dressed into my fishing clothes and made my sandwiches.

I went into my garage, hooked up the boat trailer up and started driving out in the heavy rain. I turned the radio on to hear that the wind and rain would be relentless all day, so I thought, bugger this I am going back home to bed.

I drove home and snuck back into bed cuddling up to my wife's back; now with a different hope for the morning, and whispered, "The weather out there is just awful."

My lovely wife of 10 years replied, "yeah, can you believe my idiot husband is out fishing in this?"

And that's how the fight started....

--------------------------------------------------
My wife sat down beside me on the couch as I was channel surfing with the remote.

She then proceded to say, "Oh, what is that on the TV?"

I replied, "Dust."

And that's how the fight started...

--------------------------------------------------
My lovely wife kept dropping hints about what to get her for her upcoming birthday.

She told me, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 100 in about 4 seconds."

I went out and bought her a bathroom scale.

And that's how the fight started......
 
Look at the MERV number, and get something similar. If you know the size and MERV number, you can order on line and get a case of them pretty cheap. (A lot cheaper than local hardware stores)
Higher MERV rating = filters smaller dust. Too high and it plugs up too soon, to coarse and it doesn't filter well. I think I'm running merv 11 or merv 13, depending on which furnace. Just use the number your furnace guy selected for you.
MERV number????? 🤯🤯🤯

One (or some) of you guys needs to start a school for single ladies of a certain age who need to do boy jobs around the house! 🙄😖

You get good, restful sleep tonight, Likes! We're here when you need us! You'll do just fine tomorrow. 🫂💞🥰
 
I believe it's just before B2's wakeup call. I've caught up and need to scamper off to bed. After I brush my teeth (crosses task off the list) and take a shower (crosses another task off the list).

For those of you looking at Monday morning workday, my condolences. For those of you who, like me, are retired, "It’s Monday??" 🤣🤣
