Share your day October 2013

Well done D and R, great news, so how long is this 'short trip' you're planning? I have a pantry to eat through before I move, drop in to help with the 'clearance' if you're passing.

Phil, worry not! I have been like that my entire life. 'Absent minded' was writ large on a school report when I was about 8 ! No one will notice when I get demented. I was born the Queen of Chaos. My C drive badly needs defragging or something. I can remember the name of a murder victim I read about 30 years ago but have to be reminded 3 times that the local shop keeper is 'Jimbo' not 'Jonno'. And I am one of the few of my era who has never smoked pot. No accounting for it is there?
 
My October is going well. I got a good report from my lung doctor yesterday. I haven't had an infection or an exacerbation in a whole year. Not bad, not bad at all.

Ah, but I can remember - at least, I think I can - my younger days when my mind was a steel trap.

Now it's a rubber dingus.

ding·us
ˈdiNGgəs

nouninformal

noun: dingus; plural noun: dinguses; noun: dinges; plural noun: dingeses

  • 1.
    used to refer to something whose name the speaker cannot remember, is unsure of, or is humorously or euphemistically omitting.
    "here's a doohickey—and there's the dingus"








See, this is a measure of how much I trust you folks - I've never told anyone that I have a rubber dingus! :nonchalance:

It's like there's this younger version of myself standing next to me and sadly shaking his head every time I lose it. I want to smack him, but with his youth he's just too darned fast. :(

Darn! I was hoping it was the pot ...

I don't want to grow up
I just want to stay in school
I don't want to be an aging fart
Who sits amidst his drool

I don't want to grow up
I just want to stay real hyper
I don't want to spend my last few years
In some adult-sized diaper

I don't want want to grow up
I just want to live on candy
If I never grow up
Then I think that would be dandy!

:rolleyes:

Toowoomba, Stanthorpe and maybe a few other places before it gets too hot ......

You can pack up the spare food and post it up. I'll send you the address. ;)
 
Today I took my brother to Blanchard Springs Cavern, then he treated me to lunch at a nice little restaurant on the river on the way back that has awesome food. We had a great day. It was just the two of us as Mr. O wanted to stay home and relax.

The drive was awesome, as the leaves are now in their glorious fall colors of bright red, orange and yellow. Dummy me, I forgot the camera, but am going to try to get out a bit tomorrow and take some pictures.

I have included a picture of the cavern, but in no way does it do it any justice. It is a breathtaking natural wonder phenomena. This is the second time I've been on the tour and have learned something different about the fascinating history each time. Below is a link, if you are ever up this way, it's a must see. It's located in the Ozark National Forest, and they have camping, fishing and wonderful hiking and biking trails around it.

Today i finished what i started yesterday, these days everything is done in instalments, i have had some seeds propagating and they were large enough to transplant, then i planted some purple majesty seeds i hope they do ok as it is a very pretty plantthen i had to move some pots around and water them, yesterday i potted a Lily Pilly in a a large pot and put it out the front of my decking. Now i am resting my back and wrecked body. Grrr
 
I reckon my days are good. I did have to go into the Walmart store this morning and pickup a jug of antifreeze and I expect I will need to change out the battery before winter arrives. Other than that I'm good to go.
 
Ozarkgal, sounds like a wonderful time with your brother! :love_heart: Jill, that is a very pretty plant, isn't it nice to work in the garden...good for the mind and spirit, even if it wrecks the body, lol. Drifter, whereabouts are you living now, it's nearing winter by us in Colorado, and hubby will be switching out the battery in my Jeep also, to prepare for winter.

I spent the morning bagging up some fall leaves that were thick on the sidewalk and walkway, so the little trick-or-treaters tomorrow will have a safe path for travel. Then hubby brought home 4 nice size Rainbow Trout that he caught at the park, he initially just went for a nature walk and came back home for his fishing pole when he spotted numerous trout in the river stream. So, then I was cleaning fish by surprise, lol...but we had a fresh fish dinner, and they were so big, we have two left for tomorrow. Just did a bit of shopping after that, and called it a day.
 
.....been baking cookies for the little 'trick or treaters' tonight.

lol, Pappy, I can relate....once my friend and I arrive at the airport 2 hours early for our 10 oclock flight...got to the counter and the flight was 10 pm, not am.....:redface-new:
 
TWHRider - batton down the hatches and stay safe!!!

Jackie22 - I doubt the Mom's around here would let their kids eat any cookies they got for trick or treating. Too many allergies and bad stories about sickos putting stuff in them.

My son and his girlfriend arrive tonight for 6 days - YAY!!!!! He hasn't been home since August so I'm looking forward to catching up. Washing bedding is on my agenda today and some grocery shopping, then off to the airport to pick him up around 3 pm. He has put "dibs" on carving the pumpkin this afternoon. My world is always good when my children are close at hand.

Weather is nippy but sun is shining today. Rain in the forecast for the next few days, but I'm hoping it will clear enough for everyone to get in a ride while they are here.
 
Rain, rain today. Using it as an excuse to be lazy, although there is plenty to do inside. I am going to a livestock auction this evening....I have been practicing saying, _"I will not buy an animal...I will not buy an animal"....I sure hope there are no Arabian or Appaloosa horses there!

TWH..I hope the coming storm does not cause you or your boys any problems this evening.

TICA..Have a nice time with your son and girlfriend.
 
YES!!! Get a mule!!! OMG, I can't wait to see what you bought. Don't forget to let us know and post pictures too!
 
Today I cut down,cut up and hauled to the burn pile a large pine tree that died some time ago. The borers are killing quite a lot of trees in this area. My ribs are still sore but I had to get out and do something.

Wind is blowing pretty hard this afternoon.

Trick or treat!:woohoo1:

My wife always knew when I was serious about going to the auction - I'd be checking the oil in the Chevy G20 van and coiling up the ropes and tarps.

That's why I just HAD to buy that pinball machine! :D

:lofl::lofl::lofl::lofl:

Ahhh yeah! The old "I'm absolutely NOT buying anything at the auction" comment.:rofl:

The last time I said "I am just going for the tack". I came home with a horse. I didn't have my checkbook, I didn't have my horse trailer but I managed to buy that horse and some "nice" person hauled him home for me, all in less than an hour.

Good luck with that thought. Don't take any vehicle to the auction with handles that someone can loop the rope of a horse (or mule) to. You may not see any Arabs or Apps but I know you wouldn't refuse a mule if it was tied to your SUV:bananalama:

Horse people are just a special group, I've found, and the person who took your horse home proves the point...nice is an understatement.

Trick or Treat is getting postponed in a lot of areas tonight. We are on alert for the storms rolling in --- that are supposed to hit us right at Trick or Treat time. They say we could possibly see wind gusts up to 70 MPH and the air is right for a possible tornado. Oh happy happy day:dejection:
