Good afternoon, I had doc appts in next town over today up and out at 8:30 and it was only 39 out. I bout froze. First appt was hearing lady, I have developed tinnitis so went to get it seen about. Said I have very minimal hearing loss, consistent with my age, but she said "I bet you cover your ears a lot". Yes I do, why? She said you have supersonic hearing in the upper ranges. Said nothing they can really do for tinnitis but a hearing aid can help buffer it, but I don't need a hearing aid so she said she'd check on me in a year. My 2nd appt cancelled so I picked up a nice MCM lamp for $15 that I'll either put in pool house or sell for $175 if I change my mind and had lunch with a friend. Came back home to finish up moving plants in, will be 25 tonight, and trying to get warm. Nap sounds good too.

Howdy! Got up before 06:00 AM. Had a delivery in Key Largo. I got to drive across 18 miles of undeveloped land on part of the road known as the 18 mile stretch. That used to be known as suicide alley till about 20 years ago they divided the road with a concrete barrier. They also put up fencing on both sides of the road that takes away from the natural beauty but I think they did that to keep humans out and critters in. Did the morning animal feedings then laid down for a couple of hours for a nap. Of course the phone had to ring but I didn't answer it then resumed napping. Now to wake up again and take on a chore or two. Slow and steady win the race. Waiting for the coffee to kick in.

CLEAR, CALM, AND COLD IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, 30 ON THE FRONT PORCH WHEN I GOT UP, 33 NOW. 30 AT TAHLEQUAH GOING FOR 45.

AUTO ROTTATION DAY, BUMBLEBEE UP. NEED TO RESTOCK DOG FOOD AND BIRDSEED. MUSKOGEE FOR BIRDSEED, MAY HAVE TO GO TO TQ FOR DOG FOOD.

TIME TO FEED THE WONDERDOG :-)

HI---

Good Evening CGs!

Also cool here, today. We have the heat turned on in the house but no snow yet. I'll be driving the Corvette until that time. It did rain a bit today but the car wash will take care of that.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Good evening, gloomy here too and light rain off and on. We sure did need it, but it's cold as all get out also. Will be decent during the day but freezing or mid-upper 20s for the lows all week. We've not done anything, we planned to take a drive to see fall colors on our usual trip to Maplewood Cemetery but got rained out. We junk store shopped yesterday and just laid around today. I saw a lamp I'm going back after tomorrow, having it held, a MCM lamp, for $18 that goes for about $200. Might sell, but expecting I'll keep it for the pool house. That's turning into a 70s groove pad so far soon as I get a puke green shag rug and a couple of chairs recovered I have here. Arron is in the kitchen where any good man should be making us some chili gonna kick my butt outta gear on the couch with chili and a murder mystery here in a bit.

...yeah... I had that idea also on keeping air off and heat off until a certain time.... until I came out to find Doc huddled around the gas oven with the door open and wearing her long winter parka and a stocking cap one morning... I then received the look.... so amazingly the heat was turned on and all was better....

Oh, the winter weather watch we were under, never developed. Not even a drop of rain, flake of snow or drizzle of icy stuff.

Hey guys, up early and off to fix breakfast for the masses after Mass (see what I did there?) Unfortunately the masses didn't show up in droves, I think the cold weather kept them away, only about 2/3 of what we normally see.

Cleaned up and home and out to the shop. Haven't turned heat on out there, but it's not bad for working.

Speaking of not turning the heat on, we haven't in the house yet, either. Rosie makes every effort to not have AC or heat on from September 1 to November 1. We had a high of 38 yesterday and only 35 today, so it is cooling down in the house. Went to bed last night it was 62 in the bedroom. Got up this morning, 61, now 60. With the knowledge of how Rosies' thought process goes, I told her I thought we MIGHT need an extra blanket the next couple of nights. Looking forward to Wednesday.....

got up to face a skiff of snow on the deck.... it was ugly to see.... cold out... and gloomy.... sounds a lot like winter...

Kids left after lunch yesterday.... little one missed her nap and was unconsolable.... so they strapped her in the car seat and she was out like a light the first 10 miles we were told.

I remember having to strap out kids in a 1 in the morning and drive them around until they conked out.... the rhythm of the road.... gotta love it... better get some steaks out Gris....

IT'S 43 DEGREES AND CLOUDY IN SOAKLAHOMA AND WILL NOT WARM UP MUCH TODAY, THEY SAY. ACTUALLY, IT'S BEEN MORE CLOUDS THAN RAIN AND SLOW ENOUGH TO SOAK IN, ABOUT TWO AND A HALF INCHES SO FAR.

THE BEEF QUARTER IS TUCKED AWAY IN THE FREEZER.
BACK STORY: BOUGHT FROM THE HUSBAND AND WIFE VET TEAM DOGGYDOC DAUGHTER USED TO WORK WITH. THEY SOLD THEIR VETERINARY PRACTICE AND ARE NOW RAISING ANGUS CATTLE. $800 FOR THE QUARTER, THAT OUGHT TO HOLD US FOR A WHILE.

WE USED TO DO THIS WITH THE GRANDSON'S SHOW-CALVES WHEN THEY WERE IN HIGH-SCHOOL.

SUPPOSED TO FREEZE TONIGHT, I'LL HAVE TO GET READY FOR THAT BETWEEN RAIN SHOWERS.

BEST TO YOU, AMIGOS!

MORNING EVERYBODY---

Good Evening CGs!

RR#1 did some driving today. She's still slightly nervous but doing alright. Time heals all wounds.

Hope everyone had a great day!

Wiping out the cookies, fixed the problem for me, Letty.

Cold here today. High in the upper 30s, low tonight in the low 20s...Rosie pulled up the tomato plants, so the end of those for this year.

I worked in the shop on the present for #1/hubby.

Good morning Gris, rain all weekend here, although haven't seen what they said we would, not that I mind. Guessing we need a thread merge I saw this one after I saw the other one this morning

Good morning - was up way early today, got up and then went back to bed a bit. Rains moving in supposed to have started yesterday at 4 but didn't happen, although we did get some showers sometime during the night. Not rained yet here, we need rain but don't want flooded like usual. Busy day yesterday, since we have a cold front moving through I decided to go ahead and get plants in. I try to wait a bit and could have but lows are supposed to hit around 26 for a day or two. All hibiscus and some others in greenhouse Arron made me, plams in the house, bird of paradise and plumerias in pool house, I have just a few small things and that's it. Macho ferns will get a haircut and move to the garage, next weekend, the black coral and black magic elephant ears will be dug up and stored. Not as crowded in here as usual.
Hope you hear from the insurance soon, Matt scary stuff for a new driver. Tee, I click the keep me logged in button too but it will kick me out at the office after a few minutes. Could be up there I'm using an 'incognito' window, whereas home, I'm not? 2 Year olds will definitely keep you on your toes.

ANOTHER DISMAL MORNING, RAINING, 50 ON THE FRONT PORCH, GOING FOR 53 THEY SAY IT'S GOING TO RAIN ALL DAY.

SUPPOSED TO PICK UP OUR QUARTER BEEF TODAY, DON'T KNOW THE TIME. OTHER WISE A TWO NAP DAY FOR SURE.

THE GRAND INQUISITOR IS PISSED. TRUMP KEEPS TALKING BACK.
THE INQUISITION WANTS HIM JAILED AND HELD INCOMUNICADO.
SHADES OF STALIN'S "SHOW TRIALS"---

BUT ON TO IMPORTANT THINGS, LIKE THE INTERNATIONAL BATTLE OF THE POP TARTS. TAYLOR SEEMS TO BE IN THE LEAD BUT BRITTANY IS BETER LOOKING :-)

GOOD MORNING---

Good morning Guru's..... cold and cloudy here today...coming up on a freezing week looks like.... got the sprinkler system drained out so looks like that is over for the year....

Granddaughter is visiting us today.... 2 years old and is wearing me out trying to keep up.... more later...she is trying to brush the dog with her hairbrush.....

atta boy Matt....got Tbee up a running on the forum again...
it is 33 here and windy...not the kind of weather for outdoors activities.... like motorcycling or golf or sunbathing....

Had a good nights sleep after being gone.... got stuff to do so better go do it.... I can think of a few Americans we can send overseas to be pet Americans for Europeans ..... or send them to those friendly Hamas folks that they seem to think are getting a raw deal..... kick ass Israel.... I see we are sending planes in to do some bombing also.... take them out is what I say.... does that kind of talk make me a Hawk?

weekend coming up Guru's..... rock on....

OK something else has changed, I get logged out of this site when I haven't been active for a few minutes...what the heck is going on? Never before I changed my password. And yes, I have the "keep me logged in" box checked.

Morning guys... a COLD front moved through last night. North winds blowing like crazy when it did. Highs in the 50s today and low 30s the three days after...with the chance of some moisture...notice I say MOISTURE, might be rain, sleet or snow.

Slept in this morning. Will work in the shop on a Christmas present for #1.

Good Morning CGs!

At parent teacher conferences this morning for RR#2. Had conferences for RR#1 last night. All is well of course. They are both good students.

Haven't heard back from the insurance company yet. Guess I'll have to call them again today. Their definition of 24 hours is different than mine, apparently.

Cool and rainy here. I need to get the sprinklers winterized today. Shouldn't be too much trouble.

Hope everyone has a great day!

ANOTHER GLOOMY, OVERCAST MORNING IN THE NATIONS, 69 AT TAHLEQUAH, HIGH OF 72, BUT NOT FOR LONG. COLD FRONT WITH RAIN COMING IN, 51 AT OKC NOW 63 HERE LATER.

IF I CAN DODGE THE RAIN I'LL GO OVER TO TQ AND CHECK FOR DINOSAUR BONES.

THE TRANSATLANTIC PHONE CALL WORKED WELL, THE GRANDDAUGHTER WAS AN EXCELLENT TRANSLATOR. WE HAVE MAINTAINED CONTACT WITH THESE FOLKS SINCE WE CAME HOME IN 1976. WE RENTED A HOUSE IN A SMALL VILLAGE, KEPT AN ACCOUNT AT THE LOCAL FOLKSBANK, AND WERE SORT OF THE "PET AMERICANS".

THE ONLY GERMANS I EVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH WORKED FOR THE US ARMY. HAD TO BRIBE THEM TO DO THEIR JOB, WHICH GAVE ME A REAL CASE OF THE ASS!

ALWAYS FORWARD, AMIGOS!

HI EVERYBODY---

Hey guys, Been out of the loop for a few days.

Decided to go to a 'Password Manager" and after I changed the one here I no longer could login. New PW didn't work, old one would work. Matt has saved the day (thanks to Marcus) by resetting it.

Been busy in the shop.

Thanks Marcus, I sent him an email.

Holy moly Mathew .... that poor kid... beat the light....someone driving the ambulance should be looking for work....geez....

Been in Denver the last couple of days at meetings... took out cold weather gear because its..... Colorado right? 70's and clear as a bell.... I did not hate that....

Say TeeBee let me know he was changing his password for the Guru and now it won't let him log on..... Maybe Matt or Tommy can help him out....

only 30 degrees here tomorrow..... should be loading up the truck and heading south.....

Good Afternoon CGs!

Dreary here. Had a rough day yesterday. Took RR#1 out for some driving lessons. She's nervous as is and needed to do some highway driving and merging. Got off the freeway and when stopped at the bottom of the ramp got rear ended by a private ambulance trying to beat the light. Great. Probably 3k in damage but no injuries. He swerved at the last minute so it sort of glanced off the back corner. Still not fun. She was pretty traumatized but better that I was with her. I am waiting for their insurance company to calle back.

Hope everyone has a great day!

good afternoon, sun is out and it's like summer again still. All while I have to be cooped up in an office. Of course this weekend when I'm off it'll be nearly freezing and raining. Just my luck. And I need to start getting plants in, this 3 day cold front messes up my schedule. I normally aim for Nov. 1 weekend and try to hold off till mid November.
Slow day up here today, so my 'extra pay' day tomorrow is off the books. He don't like to pay me to just sit here and I have crap to do anyway. The money would be nice but it can happen next week I suppose. got that neon yellow car going home today, an electric Polaris SXS going home today, two 5500-series trucks about to start, a Jeep going home, a Durango to start and an ambulance to start. Install will have their hands full, I'm all caught up.

Shopping and pre sister/bil visit house cleaning on the agenda. I have all these little burns and cuts from the dermatologist so I have to use care around cleaning chemicals. Feeling a little today. Then again, that's pretty much everyday. Well wishes to all .....

ANOTHER GLOOMY, OVERCAST MORNING: 67 ON THE FRONT PORCH, INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN LAST NIGHT, 78 FOR THE HIGH THIS AFTERNOON.

THE FLU SHOTS YESTERDAY TOOK MOST OF THE MORNING AT THE PHARMACY. THIS WHOLE COUNTRY IS DROWNING IN BUREAUCRACY :-(

DW GOT AN E-MAIL FROM OUR GERMANY LANDLORD'S DAUGHTER. THEY ARE PLANNING A PHONE CALL WITH A GRANDDAUGHTER AS TRANSLATOR. THAT SHOULD BE AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION :-)

SOME KIND OF FUSS GOING ON BETWEEN MY WRENCHMEISTER AND HIS PAINTER/PARDNER. THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL.

ALLONS, Y'ALL!

GOOD MORNING---

Oops. Forgot to mention my exciting morning appointment at the dermatologist. Multiple freezes and 4 biopsies. We'll see what the future holds. Probably a couple of Mohs surgeries. Whoo-hoo! Glad I went though. Skin cancer can be a killer.

Sonny-boy is still in the wind. It's hard to know what to think when someone just up and disappears. Though he has a wide network of people willing to help him, he shuns asking for much. And if he did it was usually it was from Sue and I. I've helped him througout his life when I could but his thought processes are nothing like mine. Some apples don't fall far from the tree but with Daryl, he is in another orchard. What is a parent to do? "You can lead them to water but can't make them drink." I stay strong because I am strong. Like Letty, life gave me a bounty of many experiences. Not all of them pleasant. Oh well. ...... We now resume our regular program. Pick a screen.

Good Morning CGs!

I've been missing for a little bit. Busy with life, I guess. No good excuse.

Letty, sorry about the diagnosis. Hopefully something that can be mitigated.

Tommy, hope you get some good news soon.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning, sunny and beautiful here again today, would be nice to be home. I got stuff to do. Got things wrapped up here on the two big last minute jobs yesterday, one printed, one waiting, quotes given, you name it. Went home to do a bunch more stuff while Arron was outside building me a temporary greenhouse. Went to get a bone density test Monday and she called with that result on my way to work. Ostopenia - stage before osteoperosis. I refuse to let shit get me down. My last 35 years has been filled with drama, stress, abuse, one issue after another, just getting past losing family, then a dog then a kidney, still dealing with hip issues - I refuse to let this stick to me. Wasn't how I wanted to start my day. Oh well, at least I'm on the upside of the daisies.
Tommy - no word on your son? I saw the post from yesterday, still praying for all of you.

NO BUFFALO ROAMING AND THE SKY WILL BE CLOUDY ALL DAY---
71, OVERCAST, WET, SEMI-GLOOMY. 77 IS THE PREDICTED HIGH.

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT WILL BE A FLU SHOT.

SUCH AN EXCITING LIFE WE LEAD :-)

ST CRISPIN’S DAY 1415 KING HENRY V BEAT HELL OUT OF THE FRENCH AT AGINCOURT.

Got some help from a Miami news station.


https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade ... -missing-45-year-old-man/

Good afternoon, been MIA as usual over the weekend except this time I didn't do much of anything, just sat around outside and relaxed my mind sort of. Ran my hind ed off Friday running errands here in town, then Sat and Sunday just sat around with Arron. He's usually gone working somewhere but was home this weekend so we just rested outside in the sun. He jumped in the 60* pool then jumped right back out one day tho. Monday I had things to do at home then doc appts that afternoon then he came home and we were both tired so tv an napping then it's Tuesday.
Did get a text from my DARE guy tho and he brought the truck over so I could see it and get my own photos. Then he giggled and opened that one side door. Said it could be a dual-use vehicle lol. Wasn't planned but not sure I could have planned it that well anyhow.
Finished up an ambulance and had to do some corrective work on a trailer side that a "design firm" sent over to me so it could print. Of course they want it yesterday cause they can't plan right, no clue that we have other things going besides their job, several others ahead of them. That's society for you now though, me me me -

Can I be to helping you please?

GOOD LUCK WITH THE WITCH-DOCTORS TEE.

SLEPT IN THIS MORNING. IT'S A WET 67 HERE, GOT JUST ENOUGH RAIN TO LAY THE DUST. MORE TO COME THEY SAY, HIGH OF 77.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA OTHER THAN CHANGING THE MOTHBALLS IN THE STANDBY CARS :-) THIS COULD BE A TWO NAP DAY.

GOT RAIN IN THE FORECAST EVERY DAY THIS WEEK, COOLING OFF SATURDAY. SOUNDS LIKE OUR PRETTY OCTOBER WEATHER IS OVER.

Up and around, upper 50s now, headed to mid 80s they say.

We have doctor appointments this morning to review our bloodwork. Hopefully get some things squared away.
