I don’t know if that’s a good problem to have or not!

Possibly good if they are local and handy with house repairs!

 

[Lilianna23]

I love this show!

You said you have cream on the walls…

I did that for you! Wanted to see if you would catch it!

Here’s the quick 4WD roundown.

4WD Low - for your thick sand / snow where you wont be going more than 5-15 mph. (See what the OEM suggests)
4WD High - for your packed sand / snow where you can drive faster but still need some X-tra traction.
4WD AUTO - This setting (if you have it) is like AWD…can be used at speed but it’s still suggested that there be some contamination on the road…wet, packed snow, rocky road, etc…

Weeeeell, we finally got the boat out and hit the ramp at extreme low tide. Now I know this area from when I used to clam there as a kid for summer jobs. I know the route but had forgotten a couple of little tidbits…like how to embark off the ramp and approach the ramp at low tide. This particular ramp has a zigzag pattern you have to take…I’ve only been launching Kayaks over the last twenty years so had forgotten the ins and outs…

Anyhow we get out and after some cussing and dragging a loaded boat across the pluffmud sinking to my knees, we finally get out and basically had the place to ourselves. Some pro’s in skiffs zoomed by for the back bays, but we trundled to the second bay and at around hour three…just as the Solunar Tables predicted we got into the fish! Started out catching some pin fish, then got three speckled trout, and a HUGE doormat flounder! I’m guessing in the ten lb range! He sadly had to go back because we have a moratorium on flounder now…only four or five days to keep them in September…

Had a great end to an otherwise run of the mill weekend. I hope y’all had a good one also! I was too tired to cook the fish last night so just filleted them and cleaned up the mud mess. Looking forward to that tonight.

Thanks for the 4WD tutorial! I do have Auto 4WD on my mid-sized SUV.

Sounds like a fun, productive day fishing!

You need a cabana boy, k.

All of us girls need one for the "boy jobs!"

 

[Lilianna23]

Stunning photographs, Lil!! Wow!!!

Thank you, sir!

 

[Lilianna23]

You are always thinking about sex... you have a hot wife.....

Yeah I had a few of these things written down

They are replacing same size so no zoning permit required

They are licensed and bonded should I ask for proof?

Ugh... I wish that i had you or wat to handle this shit...or boat or hdh or b2 or pretty much anyone but me....hahaha

I am done with stupid meetings for the day.

Can you check online? WA has a contractors page on its Licensing and Industries (L&I) site. You can check the contractor to see if s/he is licensed and insured. Also the size of their bond.

 

[Lilianna23]

This is a good start. Wonderer has some other good advice downstream.

Here are a couple of outside the box things to consider. Do you have a lot of pine trees? Doesn’t even need to be in your yard. They shed needles and pollen cones which become lodged in between the cracks of your deck and then hold moisture. They can travel an amazing distance…Ask me how I know. After two replacements over 15yrs we threw in the towel and put in flagstone last summer…you may remember me whining about delays on that…

You’re probably going to need to water seal it at some point. The Thompson’s water seal works good but it only lasts a season or two before you have to reapply. I used the Aussie something or other, but F’ed up and used the Koa colored…waaaaay too dark and it was a south facing deck with no real shade in the afternoon…it got so damn hot…plants threw in the towel and you couldn’t walk on it.

I love the look of a nice deck. They can be little maintenance hogs…especially when long in the tooth.

PS…not my deck but I really like the look of this!

This is a gorgeous deck!

Unfortunately, I could not access the article.

But I am against ghosting in general. To just disappear is too easy in a virtual world. And easy is not always the right way to do things…

If I’m gonna break things off with someone, they’re gonna know why and they were going to hear it from me.

Same. Ghosting is cowardly.

 

[Lilianna23]

I’m cutting out of work early. Last night I fell asleep on the couch at about 10 o’clock. Woke up at 10:30 and went to bed. Except I didn’t fall asleep.

In fact, I didn’t start sleeping till 3:45 AM. I tried everything in my arsenal: nighttime CBD, box breathing, stretching, going to the bathroom, guided meditations, nice mellow music, even a little bit of THC.

Nothing worked, but I’m gonna try to cop an hour to sleep and try to stay up as late as possible tonight.

I hope you get good sleep tonight!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good evening and this sir quality is crappy from ozone and wildfire smoke .

It’s was better this morning so we had brunch out on the patio under the big shade tree. It was very nice. The first time in about 3 months.

I'm glad you were able to have brunch outside. So sorry the wildfire smoke is affecting you.

 

[Lilianna23]

Hmmm

Noncommital...

 

[Lilianna23]

I am having serious problems logging in up here on the N. Coast so this is a quick update.

Saturday... long 12 hour run on the UK hottest day with no air con. Lots of stops for us and the boys. 100 Mile's out flagged by another driver.. burst tyre on the trailer. Nobody doing trailer tyres so last hundred miles of wilderness with 3 wheels on my wagon praying the chetokees didn't catch me. Well still here so guess they didn't.

Sunday recovery

Today sourcing tyres... be in Wednesday as replacing all four. Can't get the nuts off and no impact driver to help so guess it's another 50 miles on 3 wheels but at least no load. Got a short walk and saw the river is full of salmon but it's closed to fishing due to high water temperature.

What is next I ask myself but on the plus side the place is peaceful, the views and sunsets spectacular and the boys all okay.

Catch you when I can perhaps with a few photos.

Take care good people of the bar and don't do anything I wouldnt which is pretty much everything that doesnt involve strong drink or caffeine

Sounds like a bit of . I hope you get your tire situation fixed!

We NEED pictures!

 

[Lilianna23]

I think it looks ok

This looks great! You're amazing!

 

[Lilianna23]

Catching up...

You heard her, @Qky... she wants your dense fudgy end and she wants it right now

Wait - are you saying there was an actual chance there wouldn't be a generator?

Yassss! Some of the "white noise" tracks I play at night are rainfall or thunderstorm

I'm with you there... and I know some fires are healthy for the ecosystem... but my lungs sure don't know the difference

Because that's the fun part... after that, it's just paint, paint, paint

My mom did, too. She always tried to tap with her fingernails. She didn't understand touchscreens need you to use your finger pad not your nails. It was widely known that whoever sat next to her doubled as Tech Support.

Lasik - here are the top limits of correction
nearsightedness -12 diopters
farsightedness +6 diopters
astigmatism 6 diopters

I'll have to check with my insurance on the cataracts procedure, but even with a doctor's recco or Rx it may not fly. I'm correctable to 20/20 with glasses... and my cataracts are clear as a bell (of course)

I know - feels like reading his posts are an exercise plan in themselves.

Beautiful - thank you for sharing!!

Recharged on two levels - sounds wonderful, B2!
Keep us posted on what you find out with the doctor.

Is that why guys eat ice cream before bed? To sleep better? Is that really a thing?

That and an energy bar sounds like the study plan of a lot of people I know.

Thanks - it is awful. It's also hot as heck over here today. Close to 90F.

I can check with member services but doubtful as it all comes down to .

convoluted game of ratbaggery if you ask me

sadly, when the gray rainy burns off it will be a scorcher with smoke haze
I'll take gray and rainy over that any day

I can see why... decks are nice but not cheap

Oh, yuck! Hope you have all points of ingress securely closed off now.

Is it physically required for your structure? Or would tear-down and patio be more economical?
A co-worker just completed a new deck. She said it was fraught with supply issues, and almost triple-digit inflation on materials... plus so much rain at that time it delayed work for days and days.

And in the closest format to F2F as you can manage. Long-distance relationship? Video call or phone call. Breaking it off over text or email is almost as as IMO

Well that sucks balls - hope you can turn it around, W

glad you were able to take advantage while the air was breathable.

sorry about the WiFi but not unexpected tbh
enjoy the rest of your trip - on the tyres

Personal note: I feel "ghosting" is not the correct term when removing yourself from abuse or an unsafe situation/relationship. In those situations, I prefer a different descriptor such as:
Escape
Fleeing
Going No Contact

"be gentle with yourself" - I believe that's what @Wonderer67 and others call giving yourself grace


JK - but I am ditching to read my book tonight

Have fun everyone

If you can be corrected to 20/20 and your lenses are clear, it's unlikely your insurer will approve surgery.

OMG! Please take care of yourself! ️

 

[Lilianna23]

Apparently I am popular with the 20 ye Olds tonight. Haha

And, why wouldn't you be?

 

[Lilianna23]

I don’t know if that’s a good problem to have or not!

Stamina!

 

[Lilianna23]

Couple of perfect globes there, Lili

I love showing off my moons!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Apparently I am popular with the 20 ye Olds tonight. Haha

That's because they "think" that you're 20 or 22 . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Uh no.... I looked at his profile... it is a little creepy...

My recent PM buddy seems to have fallen by the wayside.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I thought of something outrageously funny and forgot it before I could post it here.


And it hasn't come back.


Must be time for cuppa #2 . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

There was a bug in my powdered creamer crap.


It landed in cuppa #2.


It was dead.


I fished (bugged) it out and washed it down the drain and have noticed no discernible difference in flavor(u)r . . . .

 

[Wonderer67]

I hope you get good sleep tonight!

Went to bed at 11 and up at 530, so pretty good!

All of us girls need one for the "boy jobs!"

I think I got a little bit of poison ivy over the weekend and I think it might be in my eyes cause it’s a little bit blurry and my eyes are a little bit mucky…

But I read that as:

All of us girls need one for the "blow jobs!"

My heart rate started to increase a little bit…
