Congrats LTD
I cut and trimmed my yard today. I started cutting at 7:15 am and finished cutting at 10:45 am. I parked the mower and grabbed the string trimmer. I did stop for lunch from 11:15 to 11:45 then I went back to finish the trimming. I use my string trimmer to edge and I edged the patio, front and back walks, and the concrete apron that joins the garage. I finished the trimming and edging at 1:00 pm. My son had cut part of my yard that joins my yard so I only had to cut 4 acres today.Oh and this is my 6,000th post on GTA.
Good morning GTA! Happy Sunday! I woke at 0345, then 0430, and got up at 0500 CT. The grandsons slept over last night. I already got my air gunning in before it got hot yesterday and before they got here, but I wanted to show them how to shoot an air gun. So, this morning my wife is singing at Ch**ch and she’s leaving for Ch**ch early. Our oldest daughter is picking me and the kids up for Ch**ch around 0900. If all goes well, after Ch**ch, we’ll all come home and have lunch. After that, my little shooting partner and I will try to teach Mac (9) and Kai (4) how to safely shoot an airgun. They’re a little bit wild, more than my wife & I are used to. But if I can do this in a safe & orderly fashion, this might do them some good.
They think I’m a superhero, so I have some kind of super natural powers over them other people, including their parents, don’t have.
Not so much what I did to day as what I DIDN’T do. I drove four boat tours and as always I had a great time. I think the tourist had fun too. I was hanging out in the waterfront visitor’s center when the MIB came in. Total squares, black suites with swat trainers. Everything but ear buds and lapel mikes. First cat tells me he’s with the “First Ladies security detail” and badges me. SS. These guys all watched way too much Jack Webb back in the day. Total drama queens. Like I’m supposed to be impressed that he runs errands for the governor’s wife.So I piled on the grease. “Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full” says I. I assured Charlie In Action that we were very experienced in dealing with VIP’s and we would roll out the red carpet for Mrs.———————— and the kids. We synchronized our watches and shook hands solemnly.About twenty minutes later my relief, Captain A———n, walked in. “Tag! You’re it!” I cheered. “My allergy to brass has returned.” I explained. I have an aversion to authority in general and officious people in particular. I flattered A———n that he was the better interpreter and far more charming than I. “Besides, I break out in a rash around stuffed shirts”. I told him it was a great opportunity to advance his career and score some brownie points.Just before 4 O’clock the MIB came in looking like they wished they had a real job to do instead of just toting the diaper bag for the First Mom.Man. . . . That diaper bag was secure!Once they were all on the boat I diddy maued the (expletive deleted) out of there!“I don’t have no truck with rich folks business. That’s how the po buckra stays outta trouble!”
Went to the So Cal AAA and got my new tags for my 1969 GMC ($160 this year). Ate an Avocado Bacon Cheese Burger! Went to the DMV to get some needed paperwork (quick stop the receptionist had the forms). Made a trip to a local Auto Salvage Yard, to try to sell the 98 Jimmy and Ford 250 that were abandoned here (still waiting for the offer). Went to the County Vital Records building. Went to our house in town and spent some time with my wife. The reason both of those vehicles will be scrapped is the back fees and registration money the DMV wants is TOO much to make it worth it for anyone.
