Wonder Kitten has been in my face all weekend. She only was pissy for a couple minutes after I put the flea shit on her. She's right here right now.


She needs to learn how to fetch coffee . . . .

She'll need opposable thumbs for that!

 

[Lilianna23]

I make good casseroles, cornbread, follow-the-mix stuff, and damned fine CC cookies. I can follow a recipe.

Sounds like you have it handled!

 

[Lilianna23]

Up. Coffee. TDK. Looks like no rain today - but clouds - so They may be wrong. I reckon that I need to go and check on what's ailing the roof. That's a FML if ever there were one.

I hope you got it fixed. Or at least patched so you don't come home to a flooded house!

1. I am at that point also, to set in my ways and don’t need or want someone telling me how to live.
2. Sometimes it’s best to tell the truth. Life is too short to waste it on false hopes.

I try

I needed to nip it in the bud! I was honest nut I hope also kind.

OM is away again. B2 has coffee duty… and YOU KNOW WHO has to wash the dishes.

His initials are WAT TYLER.

He's just gonna throw them out the window!

Walleye is excellent! Nice and mild and tender.

We went shopping yesterday afternoon and almost got some salmon or tuna steaks, but I think we’re gonna hold off till next weekend.

I cleaned out the freezers yesterday. Found some freezer burned copper river salmon. I'll cook it for the girl.

 

[Lilianna23]

What? No dish washer?

Yep! Wat!

 

[subdudeme13]

Like pic-a-nic baskets??

Yep!

 

[subdudeme13]

Qatar

She is back from there.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

And, it will stay that way!

Whatever . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

What about all that filial duty thing?

Kittens!!!

I do have a disposal but very little goes down it. The last was lemon rinds. They're good for the pipes, I've heard.

Nothing doing through a disposal and down the pipes is "good for the pipes" besides water. Have it removed and start to compost.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Thank you, Wat!

You're welcome.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Up. Mostly packed. Partly loaded. Time to move . . . .

today was whacky. Not in a good way.

Visited a friend of mine who’s in the hospital. That was sad enough. He is ravaged by MS.

But when we got back home and ready to work at the farm, we got word that a friend of our died.

He died doing what he loved.

He was an ace mechanic and machinist. He could do anything, build anything, get any motor started, figure out a way to do just about anything mechanical. He was 80 years old and didn’t let anything get in his way.

He took one of my neighbors kids under his wing and taught him how to fly. (He was also a pilot)

He was old school AND new school. He was gruff and also friendly. A mentor to many people. He didn’t suffer fools and he also had a heart as big as a house. He programmed his entire house, loved old technology and new technology. He was a doer and did his best thinking on his feet.

He designed and was building a solar kiln for drying wood. This weekend, i was literally gonna get some cherry slabbed at the local sawmill and then bring it to him to get kiln dried.

He was a helluva guy. And I will miss the hell out of him.

Then someone “bought” $30 of pumpkins and left $5. It happens sometimes and 3/4 of the time someone will leave an iou or come back and put the extra money in the box a few days later. Fingers are crossed. It’s not a lot of bread but it ain’t nothing either.

I guess it pales in comparison to losing a loved one.

My one buddy am a barely move and is my age. My other buddy died at 80 and was as sory as a cat.

Life is weird sometimes.

I am very sorry for your loss.

We did the same… I found some old stewing meat. It’s been in there for at least a year.

Bought it back when beef was cheap!

Made a nice Asian style beef stir fry last night.

Lemon rinds are good at keeping skunks away.

Have to agree.

Compost is good!

Safe travels!! Safe work week.

Good morning denizens of the greasy spoon.

Woke up to disturbing news where a mass shooting at a church just north of me. Very little is known about the motive.

On a better note, I had brunch with a group of other WIDs and welcomed 2 new members. We know how difficult it is to meet strangers but we try to make them feel welcome and inclusive. It makes me feel productive and helpful.
