Some more Spain

In my absence I am guessingvthat @Missk_2022 and @Lilianna23 might just have been missing my boys so here they are first you as we start training again. Lots of licks and waggy tails for K and Lilli

I know i cant out moon the Queen of Mooning but I was pretty pleased with the atmosphere in these two @Lilianna23

What do you think?

One was taken from the hotel balcony during a meeting and the other the bottom of my driveway while waiting for a lift. Both on Monday night.

There is a bit of that going on, damn it.


The sun is out and it's warming a bit, which is nice. Likely it's False Spring.

I'm going for it. The hoses are going back out to be hung today. Wash may car this weekend. Have a good pressure garden hose to spray the green starting to grow in my heated birdbath. Going to start investigating the cost of panels and how to get them home so I can repair my under deck roof and keep my stuff dry and the AC compressor out of the sun and weather.
I know it is spring enough. My feet aren't cold and the heat is not running. Sadly that means it is a bit warmer than I prefer to sleep. Too cool outside for the AC. To cool to turn the ceiling fan on because it will wake you up feeling frozen only a few hours in....
This "in between" weather is nice, but mostly on the outside.

I have two filthy vehicles which need to get bathed. I have been known to take them to the wash place, but seeing as I have the time these days and I do a more gooderer job anyway, why spend the money?

Myles Garrett got his ninth speeding ticket since 2017. His insurance costs must be equal to my mortgage. Do you work in insurance? Tell me what he must be paying.

We are SO CLOSE to the weekend (and time for sleep-ins or naps) that I can almost taste it!!!
How's everyone holding up today?

Our cat, beasty (aka chappie) was so happy to see us. He slept on the bed all night, which he never does. He hung out all day.

Chappie!

Then I took a nap. Man it was amazing.

But, of course, it was!!

We need to send you bourbon.

BÖurbon Bällz is the cure for what ails ya.

We can make this happen ya know

I still want to go to Antarctica but not for 5 months!

Yeah - those 5 month "cruises" are work trips with zero luxuries in the package. You gotta be hard core and super sciency for that!

I used to tell nursing moms they could have a small glass of wine or a beer (ONE!) before their evening nursing. It won't hurt baby and mellows both.

Like a PBR 40?

That’s just one.

Nice try... moms and nurses get to select the size of the glass... so just like a bottle one your PBR would get a pour as well... valiant effort though

When I woke up again, I had a sore throat and a cough. I suspected I might get something when I was on the plane home Sunday evening. Some guy was coughing, sounded just like whooping cough. No mask, of course. Thankfully, I'm UTD on my vaccines, so unlikely to get pertussis. I'm just annoyed. No fever and I'm drinking gallons of fluids.

Oh, no!! Spoonie down... we have another spoonie down!

You know well the prescription: drink lots of fluids and rest when you can. Doctors and nurses are the worse patients. So don’t rush the recovery.

You heard the man, @Lilianna23 ... best take good care of yourself!!

On a brighter note, I did figure out lighting for my hearts. I like the look. It's just a puck light with the top of a black sock as a collar.

They're gorgeous!!! I love it Both hearts really look like they're lit from within

Furnace guy comes today

Woke up at midnight per old dog needs to go out. It was raining. It has stopped but now fog. More rain this afternoon when I pickup my grandson.

We had so much fog at 8am yesterday that I noped out on taking the Interstate to the hospital... we took back roads.
Spoke w/ 2 RNs at the hospital... one on the road an hour before us and the other 3 hours before us... both said the fog was even worse for them and they did the same.
Make good decisions... drive safely!!

I thought the right word was neatalated??

Yeah - that, too

Im a morning person, so all fresh as a daisy!

Just work shit. Then some more work shit, and then a little more. It’s just work.

Takes a lot of fertilizer to be fresh as a daisy

And the lighting for the hearts is gorgeous. A beautiful tribute.

Hoping you are furnace gets fixed and fast (and that it’s nothing major)!

Say it louder - The Universe is listening!! We'd like fast, cheap, and easy - just like the tagline for the pizza place where I went to college

I will add that it hydrates you! It’s made of water, the stuff of life!

Coffee is motherfucking delicious and the Elixer of Life - but it is also a diruetic and must be consumed in limited quantities at times for reasons

I also decided last night before sleep that i am doing too much
I need to cut down i am.running ragged

Anatolyan turkmanstani cat dog

Also, cruise ship cuisine is a serious diet buster if ever there were one.

Well, unless you get a Norovirus outbreak
Cruise ships seem especially fragile in that regard

Insh'Allah that it's something st000pid, simple, and very inexpensive to repair.

May Allah make it easy

I came to the same conclusion yesterday about the schedule that I axed last week.

Which is not an excuse to tooken up ass-sitting.

But reduction.

And addition of I Wants and a deletion of I Have Tos.

Tell me you're living the dream without telling me...

I have time to do those things now myself, which is as it should be.

I keep thinking I'll have all the time needed to get "my stuff" done once I retire. But there's not a whole lot I'd prefer to defer for that amount of time

It’s going to be a juggling contest of harvesting battery. There are already complaints. They should just bring back the V10…if you’ve ever heard the scream of a V10 at full song…goosebumps.

Sounds like a recipe for some EV improvement breakthroughs

Just in case you’ve never heard a Banshee before!

'Tis not an entirely unfamiliar creature IYKYK

Some more Spain

You went Cliff Diving, too!!
Beautiful pics!

might just have been missing my boys so here they are first you as we start training again.

What's this "might have been" business? It's a certainty
Look at them... fine pack they make

I know i cant out moon the Queen of Mooning but I was pretty pleased with the atmosphere in these two

No one can out moom the Queen of Mooning (QoM - you did that on purpose, didn't you? )
But - fine snaps nonetheless... very lovely!!

Unless you're using some nasty chemicals that will go down the drain or into the water table I don't see any reason

Changed out the old POS kitchen sink faucet. Bitch was leaking into the base cabinet. Had to pull out some Serious Tools (okay, one Serious Tool) to get the old bastard to come aloose. The new POS went in pretty much piece of pie/easy as cake. I did dislocate the center stile between the doors, but that's an easy enough fix.

Best part? No leaks.

When I am going to apply polish then wax I take them to the place. Then wash it myself. I also like the under carriage spray. I don't have a car bidet after all this salt.

I'm in a rut. Stay up late/finish the bottle of wine sleep till 11. Sometimes 10 if she calls and wakes me up. I am hoping this warm weather will shake me of it. Probably need to have a few wineless nights too. Make sure I can still sleep like a rock.

Takes a lot of fertilizer to be fresh as a daisy

I'm trying to use less fertilizer to the point of none. I don't live near a lake but I hate seeing the weeds growing in the water when I do make the trip down.

No, but I probably should. I do have a pressure washer Out West, but the truck is Back East, so there's that.

I need to do some of this in the kitchen. Not the faucet, but before complete inspiration remove the garberator and clear out the 4 feet of pipe level before it disappears into the wall. I saw in it when I had the sink and counters done a few years ago. But I was working at the time and they assembled instead of waiting for me to blow it out. Pure procrastination as while I am a fair rigger a plate on the end of stick that I can flap open once I get it fed down the pipe so I can pull it out and all the sludge with it. I am not sure how magical I can make such a tool. Disposer connects to a trap to a 2" PVC the goes a ways and turns into the wall. Assuming when it gets to the downward motion it gets to the full size drain. Sounds like 4 or 5" if I go down stairs and listen. Or look at the clean out outside. I really would like to scrape out what I could. Then follow that with and old fashioned bladder and blast it clear. Maybe even some industrial strength drainO stuff for good measure.
I swear while I was working I fixed or replaced everything but the fridge that would match the appliances, the roof and washer and dryer. How is it I can find so many things that need some work or TLC? Garage door opener I didn't replace is every bit of the 30 years old the house is. Mentioning that I may get a bonus hit.
