I don't have any friends or family I like that much.
I had my "Spring Outdoor" auction. The irony of hooking up and pulling a boat out for the sale, then putting it back, while scraping the ice off of it to get to the hitch, was not lost on me. I was also soaked to the bone, as you no doubt were too. I think LOuisville got a cold rain, we got this bizarre mix of rain, snow and sleet and I swear even a little hail.Quote:

Super 70s Sports is a great follow on Twitter. Funny and reminds me of a lot of 70s weirdness I'd forgotten.
Here comes Peter Cottontail...

Tough sleeping night in. As in, it ain't happening.
Yep, got up early (around 5:00ish) to start the ham.
Two church services and then back to destroy the feast that has been prepared by Grammy.
Last week spent traveling with son on college visits. He's a junior, but may have a difficult time picking a school for a variety of reasons.
In the meantime, my Dad's second wife (married after Mom passed) has had a tough time, and was in the hospital with a collapsed lung....misdiagnosed initially and treated differently while she suffered along. She was in the hospital until Tuesday.
Dad was taken by ambulance to the Union City hospital later in the week, then taken by helicopter to the Jackson hospital related to a problem he was having. Still in the hospital, but yesterday they figured they isolated the problem, diagnosed it, and fixed it.
Meanwhile one of my cats was limping Saturday and looked worse yesterday, so we took him to the emergency veterinarian clinic (thank you, guys) so they could take care of him. He's an inside-outside cat (our only one of four), and have to keep him inside for the next ten days while his paw heals may be difficult.
Add in all the other "normal" stuff with children (dating phenomenon, Spring Break, job interviews, moving contemplated out of state) and work stuff, and finals coming up for classes in a few weeks, and it's been a busy time.
NAM weather model snow forecast through Saturday 7am EDT:

OK, by gosh, now that's enough.
Good time to get grass seed and straw down, then throw a few inches of snow on top...Quote:

Looks like spring should finally get going later this week.

She is sure taking her sweet time getting here since we have been snowing (not sticking) all day here in VA. Good news is it will be 80 on Saturday.
My daughter’s husband got stationed in VA Beach. They moved their family there from Chicago in December... so far they really like it.Quote:

Was going to start a thread, "what I learned today," and decided this would be a better place to put it. I have an inexpensive Timex Expedition watch that has a "stopwatch" or chronograph feature on it. Has the normal hour and minute dial, and a small 60 second dial, and those three hands are for normal time. It also has two additional dials--one for tenths of a second, one for minutes, and then the large "second hand" rotates around the large dial. So there are six hands total.
Anyway, it was a little frustrating because the tenths of a second hand never reset perfectly to zero. It was always a notch below (actually not tenths, but really 1/20th of a second, as there are half demarcations between the tenths). So I had to "manually" calculate any time I timed anything...not that it mattered, as i just timed silly stuff, but it was a bit irritating.
Then somehow the long second hand wouldn't reset to zero, but to something like seven seconds before 0 (or 60). That was frustrating. I was about to just get rid of it, and I accidentally ran across something on the internet--instructions on how to recalibrate.
Apparently, it's not a big deal. You just pull out the crown to the first position, then stagger-step one of the hands, then stagger-step the other hand using the other push button. Then you pull the crown out to the second position, and stagger-step the third hand as well. Easy-peasy, all now reset to zero.
I feel like I have a new watch. Now rather than listening intently to the priest this weekend, I'll probably be timing his homily. Hey, it's better than using one of my mechanical stopwatches, isn't it?
I was just about to start another thread proclaiming myself as the winner...
Damn watch.

I overslept for the first time since I can remember.
I hate that...
I under slept for the millionth time. Oversleeping sounds wonderful.
Wrong thread, you guys are killing me. I thought I had this puppy wrapped up.

It's all rather existential in a way isn't it?
One of those days....dentist appointment first thing this morning...tells me I need more work done than I thought, and will be more costly. Arrive at work, get on the phone with the government, on hold for 20 minutes (usually an hour, depending on the time of year), get 5 minutes into the conversation--the call drops. Argggh.
One other observation.
Girls' softball is one of the most enjoyable sports to watch in a tournament. I was rooting for my local high school in the state tournament (8 teams make it, it's double elimination), but they got eliminated early. Then I was watching our rival high school go undefeated until they were matched up against a team that had worked its way through the loser's bracket.
The rival high school was set to win without a defeat, when they allowed 3 runs in the top of the last inning, and lost, 8-6, forcing a final, winner-take-all game. They also lost that game, so the winner came from the loser's bracket.
In order to win, they played--and won--five games today. Can you imagine being a parent of one of the kids on that team? Man, that's a marathon for sure, but a ton of fun to watch.
Had to call the state for something yesterday. Took four calls to finally get some help, and that lady was great. First call got on hold finally then after minutes was routed back to main board, then I get someone again and get hold then get cut off. Loads of fun, lol.Quote:

That was mistake # 1.
Mistake # 2 was not wearing a hat. As a follically challenged guy, I need something to cover the top of my head. It was sunny, and I could not locate enough shade in my route.
Mistake number 3 was not wearing my sweat gutr. That thing is gold in keeping sweat out of my eyes and I have two of them. Both of them were left at home. My eyes are stinging like crazy now from all the sweat that poured into them.
3.65 miles in 90° temperature in an hour is too much for me. I won't do that again.
Darrell, I don't know if you know this, but I completely depend on you for your insight, advice and inspiration. Please stop doing things that put you in jeopardy. Those things are for me to do, it's the clear job description of the evil twin. Thanks in advance.
lol. I'm probably being too dramatic. I like hot weather. But yeah, I'm too old to run that risk. Would've been fine with a hat and a sweat gutr. But I may start having to do that in the morning or after the sun goes down. Or a treadmill, but that's about as boring as it gets.
So, who's the 'last man standing'? 😎
Me.Quote:

Eventually I'll win. Some certain people's accounts may have some bad leg shaving accidents.....
Then maybe they should use Nair? 😝Quote:

I’ve never had an issue with allergy/sinus problems and after living over half of my life in the Ohio River Valley, no allergies has proven to truly be a blessing.

My dad just had a reaction that had him hospitalized briefly with some breathing issues. Doctors think a blood pressure medicine he takes may have caused it.
Unfortunately, I take the same medicine. I have a doctor appointment in a few days, so I will have to ask him about this.
... and the beat goes on.

Staying up a little later hoping I will sleep tonight. Head cold is driving me crazy.
Time enough for sleep when you're dead.
