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!
Good morning from Paradise. Lary, thanks for coffee. Thought that I would risk sticking my nose in here for few seconds and hope that it does not get frozen or darted off. You guys are positively dangerous, messed up, skewed and a whole lot more adjectives, but fun. Tried to buy some replacement metal pointed darts a few years ago, but apparently they are now outlawed. Can however buy individual parts to repair the broken ones.
Looks like spring may have sprung down here. Absolutely gorgeous weather lately and the bushes, plants and trees agree because I see new leaves on everything. Ants are out in force eating everything new and it is a daily war between me and the ants.
Trying to rearrange my daily life because I am just too busy every day. If I am supposed to be retired, howcum I have no time to sit down and read a book or do something for myself? Came to the decision that it is necessary to force a few changes, so this week am making big changes and starting March 2 will be doing things differently. Have heard that retired folk are supposed to take time and be able to smell the roses, but so far all I smell is definitely NOT roses. Definitely not in the breakroom anyway. Maybe it's Lary's and Scotty's Leggs that I am smelling here?
Off to make more changes and wash my very dirty truck.

Gee whiz - - looks like a bunch of people had a day like mine. I finally just sat down to relax. Tired. Got a lot done after our class session this morning. Sure can feel stupid when you sit under an expert on some subject.
Hope everyone's day went well. Later,
Bob

We had some of Scotty's wind today. Lovely, quite hot day (31C) , but sure was breezy.
A couple of weeks ago took my truck in to what has been a good shop for years and had them install my new steering box. Ever since then there has been a slight 'clunk' and a small bit of looseness in the steering. Today I finally took the time to get underneath the truck and check things out. Discovered that the mechanic had forgotten to tighten the bolt on the steering column u-joint after re installation. Not nice. Tightened that bolt and now things seem to be OK. Need to take a long ride tomorrow, so will check it out.
Leaving home early tomorrow and will be gone all day, so this will be my morning post as I will not have time in the morning.

It's another day, gang. Time to rise and shine and get something done. Where are you all? What doing? Talk to us.
Put on the coffee and ph00 and hot water for tea. Left some goodies on the counter. I am out of here - - booked solid until 8:30pm. Not a fun day.

welcome to the warm n toasty place to tell what you are doing! we welcome the warmer zones chiming in .....yes, stop being so dang busy and just tell us sunshine and plants exist....
property up North is actually -23 below, wind chill is -40. here, -10F.
had to call the IRS over a glitch in a tax program, finally got through after two days, darts would have been used yesterday. very nice lady helped so much I smiled. had to use government sense by calling the least appropriate topic to reduce wait time to this decade.....

Cold snow and stuck snow plows. Still trying to get wife's car out of the school parking lot after shovling snow drifts and my truck out for two hours school board decided to plow the lot and got hung up.
They would be I'm real trouble if I hadn't cleared the first 60 feet.
Have a good one

Heidi - - noted on the TV this morn and commented to wifey "poor Heidi - - up there in the frozen north waste land. I am so glad I told mommy to get out of here when I was 3 weeks old - - it was December in Niagara Falls. The falls are amazing this year. Yep - -so are my orchids blooming in the lanai and I can wear my bathing suit to go enjoy them. LOL Yes, Heidi, there are flowers blooming somewhere on earth (like Florida and Bali).

Just arrived home a short while ago, tired and dirty. If the last few days were spring in this part of the world, today was for sure a summers day. Spent most of the day outside in the hot sun. Boy, did I cook!
Home alone all week as my wife is away until Tuesday morning. She left on Sunday night.
L8tr. Maybe. After a relax time.

Wow, I feel so free tonight. I have the whole morning off tomorrow to finish what I started five days ago. I have the shower in the master BR in cleanup/spruceup mode and unusable. We have had to use the pool bath. I think I could get it done before my noon appointment. Thursday and Friday are shot with company coming in on Saturday. Mercy, gotta retune that GPS confuser so no one can find me from ground level either. .............
Getting out of here and go harass the blonde. Morry.
