Hey, I logged back in, in time to get caught up on the day’s stories here in Hamous Ville. I spent most of the day dozing in bed, just had no energy at all. In the past, if I spent the day in bed, I’d have all the cats come in to check on me. But with the new cardboard… Read more »
Hubby’s gonna put a slide out or flip up shelf, or maybe just a drawer on which I can put a board to make a flat space under Elsa for me. That way, when I need to pull out the shelves, I will have a place on which I can rest the shelf assembly while I reach behind and unhook… Read more »
I’m hoping I can get Elsa going again in a day or so. We did a lot of looking at measurements, door clearance, draining tube options, etc. Handyman will be doing drywall tomorrow. She’ll have a screened ventilation door so she can blow all of her hot air into the garage, and Hubby’s gonna put the pump outside that wall… Read more »
Thanks – no rush at all…. I’m up to my ears in roasted pork loin, with taters and carrots at the moment 😉 (and I have my spare trays in the freezer but I’ll be hanged if I can remember what’s in them, aside from hashbrown patties… Prolly more of the pork loin)
I’ll have to go find the book I got it from. I am so not motivated to get up right now, but I’ll try to remember tomorrow. I really need to do Latin before I nod off.
Mmmmm chicken curry… (is it deja vu all over again or have we had this conversation before????) My 2nd mother-in-law made some wonderful chicken curry… Can you share your recipe????
I’m trying out a numbering system, but not nearly as complicated as his. #1=raw meats, #2=cooked meats, etc. When I start getting multiple tubs that are going to be stacked, it’ll be tub 1A, 1B, etc. I’m trying to keep all of my similar meats, soups, etc., together. All of the shelves and tubs’ll be labeled. Because Hubby would never… Read more »
Tedtam – I’m just totally awed by his having FD’ed enough to have the filing system he has, so that he knows what he has, where it is, and when it was done… I have a notebook that has the times and weights but I never thought to start putting WHAT – guess I need to go back and write… Read more »
#51 Texpat thanks for that update. NRA’s Eddie Eagle is the best elementary and preschool class on firearm safety and won awards in the past but now it’s bee banned in a lot of schools because of, well you know,….The NRA!!!
Any notation of the NRA spends the nut jobs screaming and running away in fear.
Special Counsel Jack Smith just issued the first criminal indictment of alleged disinformation in my view. If you take a red pen to all of the material presumptively protected by the First Amendment, you can reduce much of the indictment to haiku…
Busy day for me I was finally clearing up the storm damage from the Bear Creek Trail and when I headed to the house, I’d not seen the wife all day and as I was heading up the Whispering Pines trail I met her coming head-on from the house. The trail goes between planted pines and is only wide enough… Read more »
Gave up on going anyplace farther than the garage today, too darned hot and dangerously so. More of the same heat tomorrow, except we’re planning on lunch out at a local place to be decided on. Thoughts of which is worse to contend with: too hot or too cold weather. Well one can reduce garments to the minimum and stay… Read more »
I thought I heard thunder and got all excited. I went to the backyard to take a gander at the sky. Nope, no clouds that were thunder worthy, so I guess it was a plane from the airport.
But I did see Junior taking his nighttime stroll in the backyard, so that made me happy.
Besides re-runs of Amos and Andy, my first sitcoms had to have been The Danny Thomas Show, Blondie, I Love Lucy, Dennis the Menace, Donna Reed (woof), Burns and Allen, Father Knows Best, Topper, Hazel
Speaking of old TV shows, I wonder what kids today would make of these shows. Cassette tapes, pay phones everywhere, and when they finally introduced car phones, they were of the brick variety…
I’m almost through the TV series “Scarecrow and Mrs. King”. I am really enjoying it. I’ve always liked Boxleitner and Kate Jackson, and the show is light enough that I don’t feel my evening is darkened by a heavy show. Hubby has never seen it, as his childhood was deprived of much of the usual TV fodder that most kids… Read more »
Verlander is old enough and been around long enough to understand the pitfalls of the NYC fan base/media, taxes and all the rest. It’s all about bragging rights.
For the historical record, this story is showing up frequently. It has been revealed that the Biden administration is refusing to provide funds for hunting and archery courses offered at elementary and secondary schools across the nation. The federal government claimed it was simply abiding by the recently passed Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which amended the Elementary and Secondary Education Act… Read more »
With some exceptions, I think most players not born in the area are plenty glad to leave NYC. The local sports media, and the public for that matter, are absolutely brutal to their local players. If you hit 50 homers last year but only 41 this year, you’re a loser and a bum. Fire him, trade him…
I can’t quote details but they got him much cheaper than if they’d given him his payday before the season. Mets eating most of his salary, plus, somehow, it’s easier on the Astros’ luxury tax (or whatever they call it) numbers.
I took another swipe at the bees. There were more buzzing around afterward than I expected, so I figger it’ll take more than a few more hose trips to take ’em down. I did that after I finished my treadmill time. Walking outside after that was quite an event. Five in the evening and it still felt like an oven… Read more »
#35 Shannon You wouldn’t have lasted a month down there. The mosquitos would have sucked you dry. That’s reason #1. Reason #2 is the bionic spiders that inhabit that area. I remember way back when I was merely dating Hubby, I was going to do MIL a favor and clean her 24 patio doors. There was a jungle of spider… Read more »
I heard him briefly interviewed yesterday and the host said there was trade in the works. Verlander played innocent, but I think he knew because he sounded too happy.
Thanx for the head’s up GJT – now that we look (the sports-cast hasn’t come on the news yet) it seems they traded 3 prospects (never heard the names before, anyway)…
Only staining, not sure when that will happen. We love it! I put two 54” ceiling fans up, they put out a lot of air and actually make it bearable in the evenings.
Lots of vagueness about the paddle boarding chef who was allegedly writing a tell all book about the Kenyan family. And then there were some recent photos released of the Kenyan playing golf with bandaged fingers and a black eye will bill jelly roll II barr be called in to rule the death a suicide? it’s amazing how many people… Read more »
Ha! Ain’t that the truth. Through it all, though things took a different route than we intended, it ended up beautiful and I am very confident in its base structure. All that’s left is staining the deck boards, eventually we will end up agreeing on which flavor. Started it one year ago this month lol.
Hannah Nightingale at Post Millenial broke this story.. A female staff member of Barack Obama has been revealed to be the second person with chef Tafari Campbell when he drowned while paddle boarding in Edgartown’s Great Pond near the former president’s Martha Vineyard estate last month. The woman, who had been with Campbell on a separate board, desperately tried to… Read more »
An old friend of mine, late of this world, told me the story of getting his first job as an asst. ranch manager straight out of Texas A&M back in the 1950s. It was a huge, old historic cattle ranch down on the coast. The 3rd or 4th generation heirs all lived in River Oaks and the family estate had… Read more »
The cases described in my #28 won’t have the broader public impact of overturning Roe v Wade and the Affirmative Action ruling, but the effect will be just as tremendous throughout the political left, the federal bureaucracy, the NGO industry, the related legal posse, the huge ecological money-sucking network and all their affiliated hangers-on, lackeys and sycophants. There will be… Read more »
Texpat: re picking battles I thought we were heading towards a divorce level disagreement years ago. Hubby wanted to retire to our property on the river, and I vehemently opposed it. I figgered why start a war now? We could always have it out when the time came. We rented and maintained that property for years, and one day Hubby… Read more »
After a few weeks of arguing and demanding the gutters on our new front porch just got redone to our satisfaction.

I won’t predict the end of government overreach, but the correct decision on the Chevron precedent and closing down the administrative judges/courts takes away the biggest, most powerful weapons they have.

School Reports is one of my FDing Youtube channels. Part of the fun of watching him is his “dad shirts”.
I’ll leave y’all with this nice 1965 Pontiac Bonneville. Man they did know how to make automobiles in the 60’s. 😉

It’s set at 74 at bedtime. Whether it runs all night or not.
(But it doesn’t.)
I have my thermostat set on 78°. It is cycling, but not as often as usual.
At 103°, it is 25 degrees hotter outside.

I heard him briefly interviewed yesterday and the host said there was trade in the works. Verlander played innocent, but I think he knew because he sounded too happy.
That’s what I took from it anyway.
Thanx for the head’s up GJT – now that we look (the sports-cast hasn’t come on the news yet) it seems they traded 3 prospects (never heard the names before, anyway)…
Astros traded to get Verlander back! I had no idea.
Only staining, not sure when that will happen. We love it! I put two 54” ceiling fans up, they put out a lot of air and actually make it bearable in the evenings.
No, wait….
