Hope everyone is getting their Monday off with a bang…as hard as that is. My Monday’s are Wednesday, due to my work schedule so I’m off balance with the crowd.

Some good football games yesterday. It was windy and threading rain all day, so it was a good excuse.

Boats on the water MZ——

Getting ready to head out to sea? Maybe go see boat?
 
Makes for gorgeous pics, that’s for sure?

You are training your dogs now… but when does hunting season start in Scotland?

Here, now season (deer) started last weekend. Shotgun season and muzzleloader (deer) is in December. Small game season is in late October I think.
Starts 01 September for most birds, 01 October pheasant

I sir am part of the Knee-Deep Navy! If it’s deeper than 5’…

Not to change the subject…as I could talk small boats all day long, but has anyone ever oiled a grandfather clock?

I went to the Oracle of all Knowledge (UToob) and saw how the pros do it…but, really? A Pin tip of oil? You have to put more than that in…

Tip: Ctrl+F then search for oil

ETA: They all appear to suggest the same thing: less is more with oil... and be sure to remove as much of the old oil as possible before adding the new.

I'm caught up? Oh... yeah. Because I found a major WTAF at work and wanted to give my Team Lead a chance to hear it first before I email the project team. :rolleyes: That pause gave me a chance to read up on what you all have today...
My daughter has joined us for a few days so I have the pleasure of play cuddles and story time with my grandson. Magical precious moments
Enjoy every minute! They grow up so dang fast. One moment you're holding them for the first time and the next thing you know they're 21 and towering over you. :ROFLMAO:
Your body does acclimate to the high temperatures but you try to do everything outside in the morning and stay inside in the afternoons.
Maybe your body... mine has acclimated to 72-74F anything warmer and I get a double bird salute :rolleyes:
Pull down your drawers for VENTILATION! No?
Advantage... KILT!
One of my friends from the cancer support group days is struggling with the sale of house and her teenage son. I am a good listener.
Yeah, selling teenagers is tricky business.
All joking aside, glad they have you as a solid friend and good listener. 🫂
I have been retired for 10 years. But I fill in for our favorite lady who works and posts coffee memes for those still working.

wouldn't that be a fun field trip?
A good week of quiet would be nice. Any suggestions?
no suggestions, just full agreement
Good morning everyone. Just came in to drop off the bagels. Enjoy :)
Thanks... ltns... hope all is well 🥯 😋
Good morning all. Back to the grind again today. Weekends too short!
got that right!!
Agreed. Oh wait I'm retired where's this anxiety coming from lol
may be a bit extreme... but here's what I say to axniety and stress...
1 pm check in.....

All the parents have had their naps and are either watching the young and the restless or sitting outside on the porch....

I need to do as much work as possible to be done at 3 ish then to dialysis

Then home til wednesday night
Good grief - that's awesome, but that's a lot while you're still recovering yourself. Can you grab a nap at dialysis?? 🫂

Before I go, looks like there may be a new member among us today? Here's the standard Welcome Packet...

We run this thread a little differently.

Read the first post...goes over the "rules" so to speak.

I will summarize:
1. No religion
2. No politics
3. No drama
4. No hitting on the women-- dm the person if interested.... if they don't respond.... there is your answer.
5. For God's sake, read a profile before you dm the wrong person.
6. If your first post is heavy on the innuendo ..... you need to slow your roll

This thread is like the bar cheers or the corner coffee shop. We are FRIENDS here and not like other threads...we are fiercely protective of the vibe and each other. If this sounds like a place you would like, stick around.... if not there are eleventy billion other threads that will suit your needs.

To get an idea of the vibe I would scroll through the last 10 pages or so and you will see.

Thanks

Yes, really. Too much can increases friction, and will capture dust.

Actually, I think not. It's a clock, not an anvil engine.
