Morning gang. Travel day today as I head north to Big D for some reason. It says it’s 42 degrees out there this morning which is pretty cool, but not cool enough to get my in to long pants just yet. I appreciate the OC this morning reminding us that the jihadists are merely a few steps away at all times, and are just as likely to slit your throat as to look at you. And the back stabbing eReps, starting with House Minority Leader Scalise, are always lurking in the tall weeds planning their pot shots at the President as well – most recently voting with Pelosi and the Squat against Trump’s decision to bring some troops home in what is a hopeless situation which has no American interests at stake. Every time the Reps get themselves into a position to take the House back they figure out a way to make sure to thumb their noses at the voters, and this is just one more example. OK you all have a great day, and I’m hoping I don’t have nightmares while driving and thinking about these savages.

Maybe the Good Lord is shining his light down on the down trodden people of Baltimore and offering them an opportunity for a better life. I’m having trouble shedding a tear, but I’ll wash my face here in a few minutes and let it drip dry. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3786790/posts

Second!
50 degrees here this morning.

David Day found this gem in its original Brewster Green with Apple Green wheels and immediately saved it. Pretty nice looking original and unrestored 71 year old GMC.

Oil & Gas are the new coal. Booga booga! In actuality this is quite concerning to me since I work in this industry. According to the article, the idiots on the left coast are doing the same thing as NY and not allowing any more connections for natural gas because it is not green enough a.k.a. not renewable.

Good morning Hamsters. Woo-hoo, 56 here and wonderful. So nice to be cold again and need long sleeves and a sweater to go out to the barn to feed the mares and trudge down the driveway to fetch the Chron.
I don’t recall seeing very much if any info on Elijah Cummings’ health situation in the news media recently. Condolences to his family.

Well, I hear the President is going to be in Dallas for a rally today, and in order for me to get where I’m going, I’m going to have to drive right past the American Airlines venue where the event is to be held. I’m wondering what sort of clusterfark that is going to set up as I try to get to the Tollway and head north. Assuming he is landing at Love Field (I’ve seen AF1 sitting there several times over the years), he would be southbound when I am northbound, so that will probably mess things up too. Oh well, I’ll just head out here in a few minutes and hope for the best.
As to Elijah’s family, I’m sure they will not miss him too much so long as the long arm of the law does not dig up their potato patch and discover the $15 billion or so that he and his wife pilfered away from funds designated to help their poor, starving constituents over the years. What a rotten person. I’m sure that when I’m gone there will be a lot of people who will not shed a tear, but it won’t be because I literally took the food out of their babies’ mouths and the roofs from over their heads just to satisfy my own greed.
-
I was in bed this morning when I heard the radio announcement about Cummings’ death. I shouted out “YES! YES!”
No husband was involved.
I know I shouldn’t be so relieved over any person’s death, but that is one man for whom I have nothing but disgust. I feel sorry for his family, for I’m sure they are mourning the loss of someone they love, and God bless ’em and comfort them during this time. I hope the voters of that district make a better choice this next time ’round.

Tomorrow morning we have court for the eviction appeal for the shrieking tenants. Hubby and I had a phone conference with our lawyer yesterday, and he thinks we have a slam dunk case even if the tenants show up. I was able to get him the video files of the neighbor across the street. Holy crap, I’d forgotten just how ugly that woman sounded.
After we’re through with court, we’ll be heading off to Lufkin to see my cousin with the liver failure issue. I want to visit her primarily because visiting them brings me joy, but I also want to lay eyes on her and talk to the family about her situation to see what I can do to help out, if it comes to them needing my help.
Closing down the plumbing company will help me with that. My schedule will be much more flexible.
I’m praying that her condition stabilizes. Sugar is evil. Evil, evil, evil.

Y’all remember this Dude? Back in then LST days. Musta’ been one of them glamor shots.

Yeah, I remember he falsely and publicly accused me of some pretty ugly crap. I really don’t like to hold grudges but that’s one I haven’t been able to let go of. I wouldn’t pee on him if he was on fire.

He’s nothing but a kinder, gentler Al Zolli. They smile in your face…

Ol’ Al.What a putz.

#16 – wonder if he survived that hotshot biz he was runnin…………..?

But I’m not bitter

Morning, chickadees! It is still morning, I think. Woke up cold, declined to get out from under the covers. Eventually the mournful wailing of hungry pudcats caused me to get up. After his own breakfast, one of the 12-y.o. boys waits for me to finish my bowl of cottage cheese and fruit, cuz he likes to lick it clean. Then one of the 2 Gypsy Boys keeps an eye on me, because if I leave the table for any reason, he wants to see if I left my bowl of oat flakes unattended.

Goombah Zolli ran for a Texas House seat in 2016. I think he got a couple hundred votes in the primary.

I have a neighbor one street over who actually went to high school with Southern Tragedy. Like Sarge, Beau C. is very fond of puns. Here’s his Thursday morning groaner from Over Yonder:
“Someone broke into my house and stole all my lamps. I know I should be upset, but I’m delighted.”

Just got a call from a utility locator:
Him: “I’m at your address and you want us to mark the area?”
Me: “Yes, I do.”
Him: “Well, I talked to the people the last time I was here and they said the meter was already in.” (Obviously not wanting to do his job)
Me: “Hubby talked to the customer yesterday. This is an irrigation meter, so maybe they wanted another meter.”
Him: “You sure?”
Me: “I have a work order and authorization to do the work, so yes.”
Him: “Well, okay then. We’ll get it done for you.”SMH
It’s not his job to question his work orders. Nor to question mine.

#22 – MsTT – I soooooooooooooooooooooooo smell whatcha steppin in there!
Quote request from customer (we are still trying to figure out HOW she finds Her car keys much less drives the car to work!):
customer: “please give me a round trip-live unload-rtrn rate for 40′ HC container – from the port to Denver CO.”
me: “Please advise which port?”
(could be ANY freakin port in North America for goodness sakes!)
customer: “You know…….. the port!”
LORD – please give me the strength to NOT type what I’m thinking!!!!
-
me: “Please advise which port?”
(could be ANY freakin port in North America for goodness sakes!)
customer: “You know…….. the port!”
The port in which freaking city because there is more than one port in this country.
As long as the company pays the freight on time, sometimes ya just have to put up with idjits.

#24 – Sometimes even the correct city is not enough!
Over a dozen different terminals in Long Beach, Houston, Newark and others…………..

Poor nervous Nancy. Trump’s plan worked. Turkey has agreed to a ceasefire.

I feel sorry for the Dems. /not
Perhaps we should send a care package of crow and duck tape. I’m sure their heads are ‘splodin’ from all the losing.
-
A reasonable person would conclude that after 8 times or so of getting your head handed to you, that a full frontal assault is not such a good idea. As such, the Ds have demonstrated that they are not reasonable.
-
Nap time. Later, you Couch Critters.
-
#30 – Beat cha to that nap today. Just got up from mine. But I was up early this morning. Dallas is hopping down around where the Dallas North Tollway hits 35E. That’s where the Pres will be tonight, and it was already a beaoch to get through. Radio says they were lining up last night for a place in line. Otherwise the trip was uneventful. More later as it develops.

“Elijah Cummings was the heart and soul of our caucus, a dignified leader with a voice that could move mountains. He was our moral and ethical North Star,” Schiff tweeted Thursday.
Well, THAT certainly explains a lot. Like how their moral compass got so broken.

I still don’t know who it is.

Me either.

Lots of folks participated in LST and I can’t say I recognize that guy. I also do not recall any particular dust ups involving Hamous. Of course at the height of LST, I was working between 80 – 100 hours per week between my job and running two businesses.
Hamous, don’t dwell on old crap. It doesn’t do the soul or the body any good. It took me darn near 20 years to fully forgive some folks from my college days. It took them apologizing before I fully let it all go. I still haven’t received apologies from a couple of them, but I don’t give them a single thought anymore… ever.
-
Is it Waldo?
-
#14 Hamous, I didn’t know that, he always seemed to be a inside the beltway, kinda’ Republican, or maybe a RINO, either that or he was real naïve. He often didn’t believe the obvious, even as he was looking at it.
Oh and if you look up “Loser” in the dictionary, you’ll see a picture of Al Zolli.
What a pathetic loser. -
Well, enough of that nonsense. I had a really good day. I got the Mean Orange Machine out and disced the Kudzu patch and a small section of the P-Nut field behind the old farm house. Both were sand fields and it is a pleasure discing these right after a rain. The soil turns over easy and there is no dust. I made the mistake of tackling the garden but the Farm House that is half sandy clay and it was waay too wet, but I knew better. I got all four tires gummed up and had a heck of a time getting them washed off. Shannon will be glad to know that the tractor is all cleaned up and resting in the barn.
-
Well, enough of that nonsense.
No.
Keep the nonsense coming.
I like it.
We can talk about pot pie recipes later.:)
-
I got back in about 4:30, showered, took the bedclothes off the line, made the bed and headed off to Love’s to get Tractor fuel, (diesel). Topped off the tank and now I’ll feed the animals, stab the cat and fix me some supper.
Yup, Life is Good. -
Hamous, don’t dwell on old crap. It doesn’t do the soul or the body any good.
I can honestly say l don’t think about it unless someone brings him up. I guarantee I won’t lose any sleep over it tonight.

I think tucker carlson interviewing Dennis Rodman is the breaking of the 3rd or 4th seal.

I was going to the shop to talk to Hubby about our now-postponed court date tomorrow, and just around the corner was a young girl, crying and waving at me. Wandering around near her was a dog, part pit. I backed up and rolled down my window and asked her what was wrong.
“My dog! I can’t catch my dog! She got away when I tried to feed her!”
Okay, I like my animals, but dogs and I have a sketchy history. I tend to set ’em off. This happened with the last pit I encountered in the offices of a customer. I turned around, there it was, I froze, and the dog started growling and bristling at me. I quickly went around the far side of a desk and waited for an escort. The office folks were surprised at the dog’s response. After that, I had to be escorted in and out every time I went there. But I digress…
I decided to help her out. Since the dog wasn’t returning to her, I thought I was going to have to chase the mutt myself. I didn’t get out of my car in case I had to close the door quickly, depending upon the canine’s reaction, but I opened the door and leaned over, calling the dog.
Surprise, surprise! She crawled into my car and sat on the floorboard in front of me. The girl was waiting on the other side of the car. I emptied out the passenger seat and patted it, and the dog made her way excitedly into the passenger seat, tail thumping like crazy and looking eagerly out of the window. I followed the girl to her house right around the corner.
“Do you have a leash?” I asked through the half-open passenger window. She ran to get it and handed it through to me. After clipping the leash onto the collar, the girl’s aunt pulled up. I explained what happened and the aunt was telling the girl to be more careful. I waited a moment or two and it seemed that I was totally forgotten, so I left.
A thank you would have been nice, but it was a good feeling to help the little girl out. It cracked me up that the dog just made herself at home in my car.

Pit bulls hate this woman and she invited one into her car.

Squawk must have gotten Dennis the interview.

There are few things with a more offensive odor than a rotten potato.

Manager Hinch told the umpires that if those pig-breeding fans in New York keep throwing objects at our outfielders he will remove our team from the field.

RE: potato
One year we forgot about the Easter egg hidden in a basket of laundry – some rags and stuff that had no real home.
They became home to a nest of ants and an odd smell….
