Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[Insanity]

That was a LOT louder than necessary....

[bReTt]

Did some reading, coffee and conversation.  New tires scheduled to be installed this afternoon.  Bible study this evening.

Sean wants to turn a bowl on the lathe.  We'll look for a bowl blank and watch a video or two to show him what is supposed to take place.  We may even start turning if we can find a blank that he likes.

Good morning GTA! Happy Tuesday! The rough part of this week starts today. I got up just before 0430. I need to get Ayrabella off to school this morning, then go wash my van. I’ll head to Tulsa around 0930. My buddy’s funeral is at 1300 hrs. Not sure how long I’ll be there, but I hope to make it home for dinner with my girls.

Looks like it will be in the 60s today.   I'll be outside doing some fall pruning.   It's a task I still enjoy.   I'll probably end up in the attic doing more treasure sorting and maybe bring some of it to the dump.

Mornin ya’ll.  I was wrong about the interesting part.

HELP!  I’m stuck in a room with ten of the most boring people in the world!  The instructor means well and she’s trying hard but this class is about chanting the company line and marching in lock step like a good little drone.  Corporate brainwashing.  I keep falling asleep.

I plan to escape as soon as I can this evening and ditch these losers.  They’re going to sit around the fire and probably sing Koombya.  My buddy Swede lives right down the road.  He’s a local character and former smuggler so it should be an interesting evening.

I’ll post if anything cool happens.

Cap, as the British say:  Keep a stiff upper lip!

Good morning GTA! It’s Hump-Day, Happy Wednesday! I got up at 0430 and had my 2 cups o’Joe. I just didn’t have enough in me to get moving and get to my 0600 meeting. I’m going to get going though. I need a shower and get dressed to get to my 0715 chiropractor appointment and then a 0830 quarterly doctor’s appointment. Hopefully, he’ll keep me off the cholesterol medication. Then we need to get our stuff together to hit the highway for my Mom’s in Hot Springs.

Morning...
Up at 5:00 am. Seems like Rambo has figured out the DST thing. He began the 'I'm hungry and I gotta pee' dance at 4:45.
A fellow GTA member is coming up from Florida to shoot with us this morning. He's been here before when we lived at the other place and this is the first time he'll be to this place. We had a great time last time and expect more of the same today.
I'm bout to hit the showers and head out to put some final touches on the range and shooting bench.
Hope y'all have a great day.

I'm off this week.  Sonja and I spent the weekend in the OBX- MiL celebrating 75th birthday and her friend offered use of a beach home for a week.  MiL let the friend stay in their place up in Davis WV during the summer.  Beach was nice- found a dead puffer-fish, saved a starfish, and dogs got to walk on sand and get their toes wet in the ocean.  Surf was small so I didn't paddle out; instead we walked a lot, had a few beers, went to the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo, and cooked a lot of food.  Good thing we walked a lot~!

Added bonus- our 3 elderly dogs all were troopers- up and down 3 flights of steps multiple (10-15 trips daily) and all three seem to be walking better after using muscles that likely atrophied some.  The high point of beach walks was a big sturgeon that washed up.  The beach fisherman already scavenged the corpse for bait, so the smell was pretty heavy.  But the dogs loved it!

Wednesday chores.
Cut the grass and trim the bushes.
Last time for the bushes until spring..

Oatmeal for breakfast every morning. No eggs or bacon or sausage. Once in awhile is okay but oatmeal will bring your cholesterol down.

Mornin y’all.  Well I spent last night drinking with a couple of ex-cons and ex-smugglers but not yet ex-alcoholics.

After sufficient drinks I did hit the half pipe on Swede’s old Dog Town board.  I did okay at first but after the inevitable fall I left the skate boarding to the Swede and sporty Dave.

I’m back at work with a hangover and my left wrist wrapped in an ace bandage today but I’ll be back at the Swede’s tonight.

I’m sitting in the class room again today and the corporate zombies are trying to eat my brains.

Sounds like a great day!

Sonja's been talking some nonsense about having enough room in our eventual shop to squeeze a mini-halfpipe.  I told her I'm not sure my body is up to vert ramp standards anyway, so she took that as "let's build a mini ramp!"   

Sam- alcohol and skateboarding do mix to a certain point; BEFORE drink #4 it is time to step off and not get back on... 2 drinks is nearly the perfect amount of relaxed and liquid courage to pull off almost anything you try.  Three is pushing the boundary unless talking a lighter beer.  Ask how I know

Two things I never could touch when I was growing up. One is a skate board and the other was a basketball. I would blow out an ankle every time I tried either.

Well, I busted my brick laying cherry today. When I did mix up the 80lbs of mortar I thought I screwed up and used to much water but after a few minutes of mixing it started to firm up to what it suppose to look like. I only had 2 cap blocks to redo because the previous owner didn't use enough to hold.

[Insanity]

Woke up early and layed in bed. After I got around I went to the VFW to gather then off to the cemetery. Rendered honors for a brother, he's at peace now.

Got the results from my MRI with notes between c5 and 7.

Kinda a crummy day hope y'all's was better.

Racquetball would get me bad now. In college I saw a lot of guys get racked with a fast ball so I quit while I was ahead once that class ended.

[avator]

Racquetball, roller skates, ice skates, dirt bikes.. no problem. Just something about basketball and skateboards...

[Blowpipe Sam]

I’m not a trick skateboarder.  In my teens and twenties I used a board for transportation because you could carry it on the city bus with you.  I still like to keep my skills up to date.  I had to tighten the trucks on Swede’s board down to the point where they had almost no action before I could ride it though.

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

I never got into skateboarding, I spent ALL my spare time on motorcycles. Well some of the time flying off, LOL!
