Congrats on your new bike That Guy, bet you can't wait to break it in! Looks really nice, should be extra cool in battleship gray! :cool:

Unfortunately, I'm hellonwheels so hopefully won't break my face. Once, when I lived along the cliffs, was "surfing" my bike no-handed when the wheels suddenly went out from under me and I crashed. A guy sitting on his porch cackled "Hahahahah Wipeout" in perfect time. Hilarious.
 

Spent the morning figuring out how to upload pictures as you can probably tell from my last few posts, but now I'm off to take my Mother for an x-ray. Tonight is hay night so will be heading for the barn later. Will catch up on everyone's day later this evening!
 
Monday, monday . . . off to work, later. Universal question: Why oh why did my idiot boss ever get promoted??? Rumor has it the area she supervised before got rid of her...
 

Nothing on the agenda today, nothing on the agenda yesterday...still feeling very weak. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Grab yourself a good book and sit and relax woman! You had some serious medical things happening so give yourself time to recover.
 
Tuesday already. Had to take Leo to the vet this morning. He had been licking and chewing one of his feet and it started to swell so off we go. Took a muzzle and two of us to hold him down while the doggy doc had a look. No cuts but lots of redness and swelling. A shot in the bum and came home with antibiotics, ointment and allergy meds. Appears he might have seasonal allergies and the scratch on his foot just got really itchy and he made it worse.

I was going to touch up some paint on the outside of the house, but it is raining, so I may just have to grab my book and read the afternoon away.

Poor Leo, I've heard some good things about Dinovite for dogs with allergies and other health issues. Take advantage of the rain, you've been working hard lately, you deserve some restful 'me' time. :)

Another hot day today, took our walk with the dog, packing water for all of us. Hubby decided to tighten a belt on the Jeep, and change some sparkplugs. As usual, another problem popped up, and he had to replace a deteriorating water valve. I was his helper, dofer and gofer, and brought the fan outside to keep him cool. Glad he fixed it in our driveway, and not on a street or highway in another neighborhood.
 
Good advice for Leo Seebreeze, thank you!

I've been looking for a temporary home should the house sell fast (ya never know!) and found one this morning. Not huge but 33' and doesn't need much done to it and cheap so I bought it. Should be here by the weekend so I'll have a new project! Cleaning and painting and possibly some nicer flooring but I don't feel panicked now. I'll put it in the back yard and if the house doesn't sell, put a tarp on it for the winter. It's going to be a tight fit for me and the dogs and I haven't figured out how the cats will cope yet, but at least I feel like I'm making some progress.:)
 
I guess you never know what kind of neighbors you'll get. I lucked out with mine, wonderful people but now they are wondering who will move into my house.

Decided to paint my son's room yesterday as he is coming home for his vacation next week. Primed yesterday and put the first coat of paint on this morning. Hoping to finish it tonight. Front and back lawns need mowing today too and I need to get groceries as Monday is a holiday here and who knows what will be open. Spent yesterday washing down the camper (tow behind) and that needs some more TLC too. Tomorrow will be moving beds around as my new one should be here on Tuesday. Busy, busy day!!!
 
TWH....Sorry about the bees. They are getting scarce, and it's too bad when a colony disappears. I read this story last night and thought of you mowing. You may want to keep a couple of cans of flying insect killer in that fanny pack. The incident in the story happened only a few miles from where I lived in Texas. Pantego is a little area in Arlington. Not trying scare you, but they say these bees are on the move and I remember a few short years ago they were predicted to spread to Texas. They have been there a while now, and it sounds like they are breeding fast.

Thousands of bees attack Texas couple, kill horses

Oh, so glad I don't have the neighbor dilemma anymore. The last one with the 7 Great Pyrenees dogs in a back yard, the size of a postage stamp, with their incessant barking nearly made a criminal out of me.

I vowed when we moved it would be far enough out never to be bothered by neighbors again! That was my top priority in buying a house. After several years of this going on, and fighting with the owners about it, I would have lived in a hole in a log just to get away from it.
Wishing you luck with your new neighbors!

Yesterday was the first day I felt like I came back to the land of the living...so I mucked out the house, before I got a visit from the health department...just kidding. Actually hubby has done a good job of keeping them at bay while I was under the weather....I hate house work, much rather be outside grubbing in the dirt. After 5 loads of laundry, 3 of which went outside to dry, vacuuming and mopping floors and uncovering everything from a layer of dust, I made spaghetti for dinner.

It wasn't too bad...that broom up my butt, sweeping the floor as I went helped!

One of the Mexican fellows showed up late morning yesterday and mowed the hill and around the perimeter of the back where I can't get the rider. I promised them a campfire cookout of Fajitas and sangria this evening...so have to get busy and finish what I didn't get done in the house yesterday and get ready for the fiesta. La Cucaracha!!

^^^Now it's Sunday:D

There is only one rental home on this road and it sits 12 feet from our property line. The kids moved out yesterday and I really hate to see them leave. They were great kids and didn't bother anyone. The best folks of at least six different renters that have come and gone - there have been some doozies over there. So here we are again, left to wonder what sort of nut cases the real estate agent will put in there next. Once the lease is up on that worthless house, people can't get out of there fast enough, unless they're engaged in criminal activities, then they get booted and the agent has to apologize to those of us, close by:help1:

It's good to know you had great kids living in the rental. I'm always encouraged by terrific young people. Too bad they left and understand your concern about who will be moving in next.
 
Wow....some of you ladies have been working really hard with the horses...some days I wonder if I could care for animals anymore; other days, wish I had more to do. :confused:

Bee; glad you had a good time, and weather cooperated for you all. Sure sounds like fun!!

Weather finally cooled here; happy about that, but disappointed in the garden...hardly anything producing out there, and don't know why. Maybe no honeybees is part of it???

Oh, and those killer bees - I remember hearing in the 70's, how they were in Texas, and moving North....wonder if that was the same kind as those in the article; as we didn't hear much about it the following years, as I recall.
 
Funny how these things happen . . .

Heard a Nirvana song on Friday and started thinking about Kurt's death. Then, today, just happened to turn on the toob and out of all the wasteland watched a documentary on the controversy surrounding his suicide/murder...

Yes it is:sunshine: lollol Does all that bubbling enthusiasm mean you have to work away from home today?:gettowork:

We could trade jobs for the day -- I am a good B.S'r - got hired onto a couple jobs without knowing anything about them. For as caustic as I can be, I am very good on the business phones, so you wouldn't have to worry about getting fired over my smart mouth tomorrow:3stooges:

My tractor is full of diesel, it's hydrostatic drive, all you have to do is miss the trees while you're mowing:chores:

My job is technical, working on all the equipment that makes this stuff happen . . . I'll trade for mowing with your tractor any day!
