It was hard enough finding people to work around here before Covid-19. Most would rather live off government assistance or they can't pass a drug test. Now people are getting double +/- on unemployment than what they would from working, and you have the current situation. So the problem isn't the wearing of a mask, it's getting people to walk further than the mailbox to get a check.

This morning's haul. Life is good.

Austin works/walks for his money 😉
 
WOW just WOW. Where is this? They are a week away from $5.00 a gallon if not more.

Found it from Facebook. Amazed it wasn't fact-checked by now but it has not been...

(I cut down a lot of ads due to how I have my account setup. Some still get through but I have ads cut down a lot.)(My guess would be somewhere in California.) Regular here is $2.65 or so at the cheap stations.

Had a friend who paid 2.99 for unleaded around here last week. Has come down to about 2.79 since.

These prices are getting out of control. By the way, BBUK is this you with this mama rattler. This one was in a pasture in Chiefland, FL and the cattle got a little spooked. So it had to be dealt with

Whoa.....No but, I'd have had pause to get close to that one BUT S&W or Luger would have introduced themselves properly along with a later introduction of Paul Bunyon's Ole blue AX....

Edit: looked closer. I wonder what happened to the rattle? I guess it took the same trip as the head...

Oh and again, a little spooked? Ghost buster ghouls wish they had that much fear associated with them as that varmint.... That was a Cobra's Cobra...

Paul Bunyan had a blue OX.

I paid $2.67 for about 25 gallons of premium last week. 93 octanes. Pump for mid-grade was overheating and dude said hit the button on the left. Gave it to me at the same price as 87 octane.

Good deal that I've got at that old station several times in the past as well. I go there for all my gas now. They have everything thing from fuel oil to 110 octane race gas. I get no ethanol for my lawn mower there.

After I finished typing that last paragraph the washing machine chime sounded. I went to put it in the dryer and the dryer was full. Literally. Full.

I've tried to explain to her that these things are machines and that machines are stupid. They will work themselves to failure for you if you let them. Told her it was up to us humans to protect the machines.

Towels, wash rags, dish towels, pot holders and various other stuff is all it was, but the dryer was FULL. That means that the washing machine had been filled with way more than I would ever put in it. I thought the load I had just done was big. I didn't even fill up half the dryer.

Guess I'd be happier if I just tend to the grass mowing and leave the laundry to her. We'll just get a new washer and dryer every couple of years.

Are you tired of reading yet? No? Ok then I'll tell you that I went to the golf course this morning to grab a cup of coffee after I had ran a couple of errands I had forgot about. People there were so persuasive that I ended up playing 18. Shot a 76 in a cold wind.
 
Weather is still unusually cool around here for May. Will have mid to upper 50's for a high tomorrow. 40's at night. Supposed to play 2 softball games in the league tomorrow but, rain in forecast so...

No Facebook, Twitter, or motor car, not a single luxury.
Like Robinson Caruso as primitive as can be

Only social media I have is here.

You lucky dogs.
 
When I shut mine down I had like 18. I have a niece and she had over 2,000, I ask her do you know all these people, she said no, just told her she better stop adding people. This is what gets me, people will go on vacation and start adding pictures of where there are and when they are coming back home. Had a friend who's house was broken into while they were gone, I told her not to post pictures while they were gone, but did anyway. She kept saying that she just had her friends on FB, but I kept telling her or asking her, but who are they friends with that sees her page!!!!! Found out it was someone who saw it from a friend, of a friend of a friend!!!!!
I had an annual ritual of paring my friends list down to only people I had spoken to the last year.....I belong to pigeon organizations all over.....I get friend request and just OK them.........then purge them anually.....I never opened my page to everyone.....it was handy when my daughter lived in England......when they started to censor people......because.......I don't take censorship lightly.........I don't need FB tracking my every movement.......I sure as hell don't need them putting me in time out when what I stated was true to the word......I will no longer participate in the Facebook experiment on liberal control.........
 
One of my pigeon buddies has a Chinese Restaurant in Radcliff......he has worked seven days a week for at least a year.......he can't find anyone to work.....I told him today that ole awf can wash dishes and bus tables........
Pidgeon buddy? Chinese restaurant? hmmm...

In Chattanooga, around on the back side, there was a road along the river that had a place with a sign that advertised a Vet and a bbq on the same sign. I suppose the road and river are still there.

Years ago when I lived in the Atlanta area there was a Chinese restaurant that we went to a few times. Very good. One of the better Chinese joints I had been to. They got shut down by the county health dept.....found they were serving up cat on the buffet line as chicken.

Yeah, you find scum is many places. I knew many that owned restaurants in Radcliff at one time. Probably still know a few.

I am trying to find someone to replace an A elbow and possibly both A elbows on my front gutter at the top. (A four inch gutter) The one elbow has a slightly bent area in it and it looks like someone drove a spike through the middle of that bent area. It clogs and I need the clog cleared and the elbow(s) replaced. The catch is, it is three stories and I do not do that any longer.

I had a couple quotes for over $300.00 and just stood mesmerized while on the phone. The elbows are no more than six to ten bucks each tops (Checked Home depot $4.62 each.). A couple pop-rivets or screws, unclog the downspout and it is completed. I know less than an hours work tops. I keep looking to find a siding person around to where I can offer them $200.00 plus parts but I haven't found them yet out working. I know time is valuable but DARN, that is a chunk for the amount of work. Just irks me.

I would have chopped him with that too! 😅 😅🪓🪓🪓😂🤣 rotflcgu
 
I was telling this over in the detecting thread, I went down to the tire shop today and the guy that owns it, metal detects too, I ask him if he has been any, then ask me if he had told me about the place over in Ohio Co. that he got permission to hunt, I said no. Then he proceeds to tell me it use to be the old fair grounds there, showed me some pics and video. He has found over 300 silver coins!!!!! He said that this is one of those once in a lifetime places you get to hunt! I guess he don't like me as much as I thought he did!!LOL!!!! I told someone the other day, people who metal detect are worse than deer hunters or fishermen, they just don't give up their secrete places!!!!

Don't get pigeon holed into selling your birds to him or else you might have pigeon under glass one night. ;)
 
The Far Side was funny today, but you would have to see it to get it, But there was two young deer in the woods, one on one side of a path between some woods, so one has his head stuck thru a plaque and the one on the other side says, Ok Andy don't move, her comes MOM!!!!
Loved old Far Side back during the 80s and 90s. Read often in Stars and Stripes.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and cloudy. Rain chances increasing around 2 pm. Today's high expected reaching 79°F.

Some Latino guy pulled up in our driveway at 1:30 am this morning and started banging on the door. Wife was up. Dog came unglued. I never heard a thing. According to wife, he spoke Spanish, wanted in and pointed at North Lamar. We've got two locked doors for good reasons. He backed out of driveway and left.

Found out yesterday we're heading back to the office by September 1. We might transfer to previous location, where I worked 2010 - 2018. I can live with that.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Well, I have to get out today anyway. Hostess cupcakes here I come.
 
Good morning D League

Woke up to a nice morning, 68° and clear skies. Our high is expected to reach 82° and we have a 15% chance of rain. We could use a little rain down here. More than a little.

I trust all have a great day.

Is that a Momma and a Papa?

A relative of one of these?



;)

Oh, I hope this day brings you what you need and desire in Christ. God Bless you all...
