Mornin, Maaaaaaaaaaa.....

Some solid coffee on, nothing else yet.

 

They have DEALS! You could save .99 on something. Plus there's the excitement of possibly being trampled in an unruly crowd!
I went by one of the local Walmart's here in K'zoo a day or so ago. They're opening a DENTAL CLINIC of all things. Makes me wonder if they'll have an express lane for people with 12 teeth or less.

What else would you need? There's nothing like a good pot of coffee that makes your hair stand up first thing in the morning!

Been up since 0430. Apparently, just READING about the Haribo fiasco in the 'Amazon Review' thread, (https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...w-t315472.html), is enough to send you running to the terlit!


Today is Friday, November 29th, 'Black Friday'.

Today's thought:
The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege.

Good c0ffee this mornin' Mark! Did'ja remember B0b's ph00? He'll be mad if it isn't here when he comes in!

 

Just seen on the new where a 61 year old man stabbed a 55 year old man over a parking spot at wal mart not far From my house. One Drew a gun and got stabbed I would have hated to sen what they would have done inside.

 

Mornin, buddy. I had not yet, but it's on now. I didn't want it to scald, gotta take care of Bobby really good... he's a nice guy!

Some left over pumpkin pie spice for ya, Bob. There is some Bailey's creamer in the fridge, leaded and unleaded...

Butt is looking good, just slow and steady now. I ran out of my maple smoking chips, the first two hours are all you really need them for anyhow. I'm going to throw some hickory on the last few hours, along with mopping it with our own special sauce. (not with the break room mop...)

 

WHERE'S MY PH00???????????????? DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...................................................

Oh well, what can you expect from these gun wielding wild men around here? ............................. I need to get a gun safe - - no kids around here, but still need to do it. Of course, one of them will not be in the safe - - NO SIREE.

Great meal yesterday, house full, warm hugs, lots of updates. Very rewarding - - makes you glad you didn't kill them kids when they were brat teen agers. ............................Seriously, ours were great and still are. So proud of who they are and all are successful and happy - - just the one in the time of stress right now, but with God's help and family and friends support, they are going to make it. Marian leave Sunday morning early to head back out there until Christmas, so poor ole Bobby will be all by himself. ..................

OK, PH00 IS DONE AND I AM TAKING MINE AND GETTING OUT OF HERE. CYA.

Bob

 

Hello and good bye.
Be back later.

Hope everyone is beached with all sorts good thoughts and good food/drink sloshing about within.

Left a couple cases of depends by the pumpkin phoo.

Hanyday

 

Howdy B and S, Morning Guys and Gals,

Cool! Now I can go to the dentist wearing my sweat pants/PJs and my wife can leave in her curlers.

Dang it, you made me hungry again. I can almost smell it from here.

One of the old folks had a 10 year old DS Grand kid visiting. She would calm down and come up to me and just stare and smile, something she doesn't do very often.
Finally she reached out really slowly and yanked my mustache so hard I almost cried. Gave everybody else a good laugh.

Last time I was left alone for very long I went feral.
You forget how to talk in complete sentences, stop shaving and forget to put clothes on when the cops come for a welfare check (after the pizza guy reports you).

Back to the cold, -11° this AM. Hiding out and staying away from the crazy combat shoppers.

 

I have issues...

 

Whats up? Not one of them are up on blocks missing the wheels.

cougar: Its -5f here. Suntan weather.

Well, time to go to town. Giving a ride to the airport I would rather be in bed.

 

I'm out of parking places duh...

 

Howdy all you Happy DTRoininans!
Hope each of you enjoyed a good holiday with your families/friends and are well

Been MIA for several weeks now, getting all the yard work finished up before the cold weather set in.I been a little to busy to get on the puter, and the DTR mobile version wont let me post from my phone..

Left shoulder started aching a tad a about mid-October ( couldnt sleep at night and bringing tears to my eyes when I lifted anything ) so once we got everything done outside, I broke down and went to the Doc.. I seem to have managed to rupture both the bursa 'tween my collar bone and shoulder, as well as the one beneath the lower part of my shoulder blade, and have damaged the cartilage in the joint, leaving "debris" floating around in my shoulder..
Docs solution? " complete rest for at least 2 weeks".....THE BOSS's idea? " I ordered the new flooring for the living room, dining room and kitchen so we might as well do the bedrooms and laundry rooms while we're at it, and don't you think we can get it all done before Thanksgiving? ".......if she weren't cute, there'd be another new hole out back in the pasture....
Well... guess who's idea won?
The new flooring all got installed( by me and my best friend, myself) by last Sunday, Monday and Tuesday new trim through-out the first floor of the house, and 4 rooms painted..Wednesday cleaning up and cooking, and yesterday we had 26 folks here for a great family Thanksgiving dinner.......was wonderful! But I cant lift my arm enough to put a shirt on, so am staying home today..

Sadder note, our Rottweiler Greta has developed a Mast Cell Tumor on her neck, that the docs think probably mastitis-ed from either her bone marrow or liver( based on blood work)... not too much they can do for it, so we're counting the days with her. Hasn't seemed to effect her yet, so until it starts diminishing her quality of life, we are gonna enjoy the time we have left.


hardest part is trying to not to be upset 'cause she senses when I am, she's been one of the best dogs and friends I've ever had. gonna be a hard thing to deal with.

Ok, off to play tug-a-war with a bum shoulder against a 100lb Rottie...
yall enjoy your day, gonna try and enjoy mine..

outtahere..Chris
