Good to see you get stuff done. I have a gravel parking area and am gonna get it tarred as the gravel gets everywhere and is a pain. I decided to swallow the pain to the wallet to get rid of gravel.

I sort of am thinking that too.....

Yes, gravel is a pain. Our snow is melting and I can see the massive piles of gravel that have left the driveway with the snow blower last winter. There's going to be a lot of cleanup this spring...

Good morning

Mornin Hoosier!

Met a bunch of moms at the volleyball tournament (one of the benefits of volleyball!) from Indiana. NW IN.

My mom was from a tiny town in west Indiana called Tangier.

Small world, huh? Indiana has strangely become kind of a volleyball hotbed at least in the Midwest

I grew up in a small town in Indiana ....though I've been in Ohio quite a while now! My sister coaches club in Indiana. Theyjj were in Tennessee this weekend

 

[Missk_2022]

I did not wake up more happy....

Oh well at least I woke up

I am over it already, I just told my boss that I am counting down to retirement and that I didn't really find any joy working....

She is a good boss.... gives me encouragement.... I qm not in the mood to be encouraged

I hate the weeds through the gravel

Better living through chemistry. I spray the weeds.

I also hand pluck them in some places.

It gets away from me ....I need someone to bring their tractor and box qnd rough it up.... or pay someone to do it...... that always seems to be what I have to do.... pay pay pay

You could always buy your own tractor. But my guess is it would be cheaper in the long term to just pay someone once in a while. If you're in a small town, finding that local guy who just bought a new tractor willing to work for some cash and a pan of brownies would be ideal...

Having the need for a tractor, I have one, and the costs are NOT zero. The advantage is being able to do the jobs myself, when I want/need to. However, I still pay for bigger equipment and an operator when I need access to them. So paying isn't the end of the world.

Yeah.... I know... I have to pay to get things done when and how I want it done.... I am just whining

If it looks like a Monday
And feels like a Monday


Quick catch up...

@Missk_2022
You'd love where I live..pristine quiet all day long...except after a rain. I have a pond nearby and the fu*king frogs hooting & tooting drive me crazy(er) till dawn. Along with the night owls, crickets, and bigger critters in the brushes.

It's unanimous - sleepover at Rj's house
Wish I had been there last night. Could have used some frog songs.

Busy and productive day today

Once again, Wonderer getting done in one day what would take me *checks my energy levels* well, a heckuva lot longer

One of my other dear friends is trying to work with me on this concept. I'm much better at giving than taking.

For those hardwired to be a Giver, learning how to receive can be challenging.

I can't sleep..... f ing great

Sorry, Missk... I was in the same boat last night. Mind racing far too late before it let me drift off.

Yes, please! Wat can drive while K+ and I sit on the back waving like beauty queens!

Ps… did you wear your pink gloves and pink glasses for safety reasons during assembly and cotter pin bending?

Thanks OM… yes my latest offering on my YouTube site

They are making such wonderful progress

I had a middling day. Woke up with a sore throat this morning. Sneezing and snotty, too. Probably allergies but decided to have an easy-ish day today.

Good call on an easy day. Feel better soon!

It's a beautiful, sunny Spring day here. Late up today, having been up till 2:00 watching Rory McIlroy achieve golfing immortality.

Do they do the same for golf as for American Football at least? Edit out all the time outs and chatter and commercials? I remember watching American Football at 2am local Scotland time thinking, "See? It doesn't take 3 whole hours for just one game!"

Had electrical panel issues yesterday which got sorted out.

I find it absolutely shocking than an older house would have such issues. Nice that you have the know-how to resolve it in-house, Wat

TGIM I can go to the store and there will probably be no lines at the check out!

Yes, okay... for you it's a Marvelous Monday
Enjoy all the perks. Maybe pick up a few items for the rest of us while you're out?

I was thinking pot does not take 30 minutes but then it came to me. Oh! BROWNIES!

Yeah - had that joy w/ 2 friends in Amsterdam 30+ years ago. When the cake at the café didn't hit immediately, they called the waiter over to order more. I just got finished explaining how biology and digestion work when the waiter told them they recommended waiting about a half hour between orders to give it time to work. I felt so validated! Still had to babysit them for the next few hours

Around midnight there must have been some storms as my old dog woke me up. He was shivering badly so I had to stay up with him awhile before going back to sleep.

I'm amazed how well you function with your sleep interrupted so often. Of course, I would do the same for a family member. Hope you get a nap, if needed.

Yeah, I will never forget my first time. “Nothing is happening. Let me eat some more!”

And then it hit…

And then I was down for the count…

Déjà vu anyone?

Good morning all! Is the third week of in a row of craziness at work for me.

I’ll be going to our valley Forge office on Tuesday and then into Philly again on Wednesday.

And pretty much while the wall meetings all the rest of the time.

Look at that! A choke!!!

A what now?
So many things to Google, so little free time

I know of someone (friend of a friend) who ate half a pan of them. They were warned not to, but did it anyway. Apparently the result was sleeping for a long time, and waking up with a "I'm never going to do that again attitude!".

I'm like 20 pages behind this morning. Tax stuff is driving me batty, along with prepping equipment for summer. Finding more broken or nearly broken things than I wan to. Which means lots of fixing stuff this weekend (OK, more ordering parts, but tearing half way into stuff to find what's broke to order the damn parts!). So the garage is full of things spread out in pieces.

Looking foreword to a Monday and starting work this morning so I can "Relax some". LOL!

So that said. Good morning everyone. Hope you have a great day, for a Monday!

Even my Déjà vu has Déjà vu now
Don't get me started on taxes.
Ah yes, relaxing at work... wait. People do that?

Small world, huh? Indiana has strangely become kind of a volleyball hotbed at least in the Midwest

Ear worm alert! Ear Worm!!!

I am over it already, I just told my boss that I am counting down to retirement

Whine away! Better to get it out here than have it burst through unexpectedly in the office IMO.

Lunch break? We all know what that means...

Well, more like 3 snaps... or maybe

 

[Greylag]

Yeah... I have found that the only thing a complaint would get me is pissed off vengeful neighbors and I have enough to worry about

Greetings @HawkerPenn
Not sure if you've frequented the café thread before or if this is your first visit, so here's the standard welcome we set out for newcomers:

We run this thread a little differently.

Read the first post...goes over the "rules" so to speak.

In summary:
1. No religion
2. No politics
3. No drama
4. No hitting on the women-- dm the person if interested.... if they don't respond.... there is your answer.
5. For God sake read a profile before you dm the wrong person.
6. If your first post is heavy on the innuendo ..... you need to slow your roll

This thread is like the bar cheers or the corner coffee shop. We are FRIENDS here and not like other threads...we are fiercely protective of the vibe and each other. If this sounds like a place you would like, stick around.... if not there are eleventy billion other threads that will suit your needs.

To get an idea of the vibe I would scroll through the last 10 pages or so and you will see.

Thanks

Hope the thread is to your liking and you stick around.

L2: Yes, yes. That's right... everyone is so pretty...

*gently takes your hand and guides you to the couch*

L2: and so friendly, too.
Here, this is a "refill"

*hands OM a glass of water*

L2: And take this with it... it's a magic pill so your head won't hurt

OM: My head doesn't hurt... at all

*pats hand*

L2: See? Magic - it's already working. Down the hatch, now.

I think spring is on it's way. A few bare spots are starting to show in the yard. Although it's windy AF right now, and weather service is calling for 3"-9" of snow! Now we start the wet miserable sloppy time of the year!

Split the difference here?
47F (wind chill of 30F - that's above zero ) and wind
some rain overnight and Thursday
