Looks like Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church has completely called off covid. The main church was packed. It looked like the overflow in the day school’s auditorium was similarly packed. I can’t imagine what Midnight mass is gonna be like later. The vigil is usually very full, but the Midnight is usually so packed that you’ve got to get there… Read more »

I was able to fill the patio water tub, because the faucet out back was working well today. I haven’t been around to check the faucet on the east side, but it’s right outside my bathroom where running water and flushing are NORMAL. I also haven’t checked the faucet on the west side — the only one I put a… Read more »
Just read a story about a woman whose fully loaded grocery cart got away from her and slammed into a parked car. Grocery Cart woman (GCW) tried to blame it on someone else, screaming it wasn’t her (GCW’s) fault. Parked Car Man (PCM) got out of his car to confront GCW, and saw right through her accusations. Of course, the… Read more »
Walk around the house and everything looks OK. Water meter dial is not spinning, and no evidence of water leaks. Looking at the electricity meter I may have an electricity leak though the way it’s spinning. I put a little hot water into the water trough outside. It appears to be frozen solid and it’s too heavy for me to… Read more »
When ditching a small plane onto a soft surface such as a plowed or muddy field or such, it is recommended that you land “gear up.” This pilot was unclear on the concept, since he has a fixed gear airplane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLIIvUAA02s As you can see, when he came to rest his gear was pointed up.
Finally checking in. My sleep schedule is shot all to heck these days. The weather is real pretty today, and after Bonanza I may just sit on my back porch bench to pray my rosary. I’m walking without the walker today. I realized yesterday how much I was doing without it already, so I formalized my reality and transferred all… Read more »
Up to 35 out here now, with very bright sunshine. Think I’ll take a walk around the house nd check everything out. I figure that if the little spinner at the meter is not moving that I’m OK and don’t have a water leak.

It’s 32 now at Chez Harp, and above freezing all day until 8 pm. Sunday morning is more cold-and-miserable, but will be in the 40s by 2 pm for 80-Y.O.s Christmas meal.
#23 SD: My neighbor alerted me to the problem and brought over a box of fittings, unfortunately none would work. The guys that came over have not yet been back with an invoice so that we could pay them. I did give the guy who did the work a little bottle of Honeyshine.

There is a special Christmas Day Post by Wagonburner.
Go there to comment on Christmas Day.
Found this over yonder:
Washington Post’s MENSA chapter asked its members to choose one word from Webster’s; replace one letter, and then provide a new definition to it. These are the top winners.
Here’s hoping the the blessings of this season falls mightily upon this crowd!

Yes, I was picking up a pound of their superb Pecan Smoked Sliced Brisket. Some tamales. Gonna try their (frozen) jalapeño hush puppies.
You’ve already got the purse, so that’s a start.

Did ya get the sausage from Belleville Meat Market?
Just tried a sample of Poffenberger’s Double-Black-Pepper Smoked Sausage. Wow. Had to buy some.
Up to 35 out here now, with very bright sunshine. Think I’ll take a walk around the house nd check everything out. I figure that if the little spinner at the meter is not moving that I’m OK and don’t have a water leak.
