It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

You were a bit further north than I was on my last trip. Nice country up there, but then there are very few areas that are not nice in ZA. On my last trip, this time I did not go any further north than northern Zululand, (where I grew up) just shy of the Swaziland border by about 5 miles.

Good morning. GOOD MORNING
What an echo! Where is everybody? Dragon in the corner wagged it's tail and went back to sleep.

Woke up early, so got up. Made some fresh coffee and ph00.

Gone.

Still too dark outside to do any work, so strolled back in here for another cup of coffee and also in the forlorn hope that someone had brought in some scrumptious goodies.
Nope. Nada. Sigh.
BTW, the coffee has a slight orange flavour today. The coffee pot was particularly grungy, so decided to clean it up a bit. Nothing would make a mark on that stuff inside, so tried some ketone. That worked and then washed that out with some orange hand cleaner.

Lary, try taping a curtain rod up your spine to help your back.

I find Methyl Ethyl Ketone makes a wonderful glaze for the cinnamon buns help your self straight out of the oven

Stan I like your idea on where to put the curtain rod better than Scotty's idea......His suggestion would have involved sitting on the rod but of course would have been a tape less option

Thats why he got the heavy duty rod...no as much bending and the price of tape nowadays made it a no brainer to go with the HD model...probably saved at least 88 cents. Plus he gets his sinuses cleared with the other end.

YEEEKKKSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

MERCY ME. Been busy all day and just checked the stock market. Oh my goodness - - anyone want a nice home in Florida? How about a great RV? Garage sale Saturday - - - everything is for sale. ha ha

Man it looks terrible. Been another lousy week. Can someone remind me why we invest in stocks. Think I will check out buying a little shack up by Bark. Need somewhere to hide.

The video wasn't that scary. Now if I see my ex wife coming toward me with a car again that would be scary

hello super men! Thanks Topper! spine/pole nudge....
miss talking with ya Stan, work less. ofcMarc- get back to work
middle of steroids now, so time to keep moving for better health/joint stuff.

thought of hand splitting kindling, best use of pile of yellow pine, spruce, beech, cherry, birch scrap. actually doing it was giggly fun! ( I doubted I was able) I use a youth axe and focus on technique to save my wrists. nice attainment feeling, yippiki yay. winked at hubby - less windy, sunshine and 54 degrees. yup, motorcycle ride North this time. ride to family owned restaurant, awesome food( dilled salmon sandwich, hot bean, cheese, ham soup, sweet potato fries/honey baked and hot tea. hubby had food/ice cream) surprisingly green still despite reports of mid peak. enh. media.

great freedom ride. sending good fall food and warm wishes to you all!
even busy scotts...
