The Original O'l Farts Club.

[Gypsy Nirvana]

I've been there a few times too, probably due to my chic lifestyle and the odd cancer, but at 58 still I don't qualify as old fart, so I just came to say best luck to Gypsy, and a speedy recovery. And the same goes for all others who are through critical medical conditions.
I will dedicate you all a nice asturian poem:

If viagra doesn't work
cos you have misread the label
get a piercing in the willy
and a magnet in the navel.

Oh nice poem - very Keats or Wordsworth - once upon a time - I was a fully trained and qualified cosmetic body piercer - and would get paid to stab people with cannulars - then put jewellery into the holes I made - strange sorta job - but cured me of my fear of needles -

Ahh - I'll ask her later if she's a Loridana or not - got 2x2 hours sleep so far - now 10 hours before my operation - I wonder if I can get back to sleep now -
So it's 'Nill By Mouth' - which means absolutely - no eating or drinking anything - for the time left before surgery - can't even drink water !

if you got any of that curry left over i will gladly have your portion!
/just for your health

take care my man and get well soon!
/prayers

Every cat I've owned found me somehow. One of them would climb on top of trash can, hook claws in screen and bang the door until fed him. I had him 20 years. My Taco.

Our cats have always picked us too and weren't subtle about it. Two literally climbed me to ride on my shoulder and the current one literally loaded herself in my car to make sure she didn't get left behind.

Today is Dutch’s 12th birthday. I am enjoying him and his old age… he has thoroughly mellowed out in his old age, and he is now seeking more affection than in the past… he gets as much as he can handle

Sending bun scratches for the lad!

puppers!

Finally took a much needed brake today. I went to get bent and bit. (On the bit part, I really need to buy a set of grabbers. Thumbs a sore and shredded.)

Went to the honey hole and caught a couple of crappy for bait. Then to the flood control lake for the big blues. Flatheads are in there too, just non caught today....next time... Wasn't there for to long (thank the fishing gods. the knats were insane..patoowee) The first blue was caught.

Thumb after said first blue. OWEEE

About 20 minutes later number 2

The 5 gal bucket is for size ref.. They're between 15 to 20 lbs. No pick of other thumb. Couldn't take a pic with the left hand. Trust me it was even more shredded and still hurts. By this time I've had it with the freaking buffalo knats and packed up.

We have a big low coming in tomorrow night. That should get the BIGGER blues (40lbs +) to come into the shallows. So I can put a hook in their faces. At least that's the theory.

Now that I finally got new batteries for the camera. It's time to fill this hard drive with a gazillion pics. Last comp died and took most of my pics with it. (some know I had allot) I do have a few thumb drives SOMWHERE....lol

Expect pot shots and TREES.

Hard drive is what went south. Trust me I took it to a couple places. All I got was, Sorry nothing we can do. I still have it. I could say I have pics of a former prez grabbing a kitty and the powers that be could retrieve them......BAWAHAHA

Yeah - that'll do - at least I have you guys on this thread to bounce off - that's a definite bonus in my current position

I was gonna post up a really nice relaxing video of rural life, a family simply making a lamb stew for 20 minutes. Captivating, hypnotic and beautiful.

Then i remembered you may be a bit hungry

It's so remote the silence is really cool with the white noise of the snow

Our place is really quiet usually as well it took some getting used to but now I cherish the silence.

Nearly half past six in the morning - looks like we might have some blue sky today -

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

Was just thinking - (which can be dangerous) - Africanaa said that he'd sent me a kilo of biltong to this hospital address - a few weeks back - so I'll try and find out if it's arrived -
