Good Morning All (OF's):

Wishing each and every one of you, a pleasant morning, wonderful day, and outstanding evening.
I am currently pretty tied up with projects and work, so wanted to start with a daily check in hello.
Today's Monday: "Can't Trust That Day". And the work week begins. One day closer to a weekend!

See you all tomorrow (again)! (y):)

My doctor advised me to go back to killing people. Not in such words of course, he just said that I must diminish the amount of stress in my life.

Oh. There is one problem you will notice if you manage to become ancient: Memory becomes evanescent. Flighty. Undependabobble.

For instance, I just remembered a one-liner I wanted to share with @SubGirl, but forgot it weeks ago and just re-remembered it now:

Subbie: How to you drown a sumbarine fulla blondes? Knock on the door. 😶‍🌫️
What you are calling stress, the root cause is attachment. By that I mean you invest too much energy into expectations from your imagination. These imagined expectations are not how things are. For example, fear or anxiety is always for the future. If you keep your mind in the present, there is no anxiety to happen. I had to make the change myself. I can tell you the answer is not in a medicine, or anything outside of yourself. Let go. Retire from all that bullshit. You no longer give a fuck.

I seriously salute you unka Walt!

I would be no where near the grower I am today without the true ole head grandpa grower knowledge!

For whatever reason DHF answered to my questions and put up with my dumbass years ago! I think I might make his ole ass laugh once in a while?

Either way without the GRANDPAS or pioneers as I like to say You, DHF, or Gypsy.our lil hobby would have been taken from us and grown in an industrial scale a LONG time ago!

I hope that i am a TIO like yourself UNKA! I all but refuse to share what I think I know for fear of teaching someone incorrectly! However I will always salute the pioneer, game changer, older grandmasters 💯

Peace

As the standalone flat-out guaranteed oldest geezer here, I must pass on my hard-learned knowledge:

1. Never confuse the Vicks Vap-o-Rub with the Vaseline jars.

2. Don't walk into a restaurant with a gorilla suit on.

3. Don't run down the street singing, "Singing In The Rain" during a hurricane.

4. Thanksgiving is a day of giving thanks. Unless you are a turkey.

That about sums up everything from 13 months before WWII to today...
DAMN Unca this sums up life, age , and wisdom very well!!!!!!!!

"Either way without the GRANDPAS or pioneers as I like to say You, DHF, or Gypsy..."

WHOA!! Bless yore pea-pickin' heart, but I have TWO unique crowns here:

1. I am the oldest sumbitch here
2. I have failed for a half-century at growing a single plant, and I have just barely learned some of the terms used by alla these scientists. <-- TINS

I'm just an old sojer, retired engineer, author. I dunno squat.

More rain, starting at 42F and predicted to reach 51F.

Off to the gym, morning dog walk, and then we will be dropping the Ford EV off at the dealership in Gresham to find out why it will no longer take a full charge.

Courtesy Ford in Portland never answered the messages that I left trying to get a service appointment, so I stopped calling them and reported them to the Ford Corporate customer relations department.

Y'all keep trying to blame the weed for your mental problems.
Hold up cuz you don’t know me for shit. I know when I smoke some weed and my heart won’t slow down there’s an issue. Some people with Afib can’t smoke weed. Sit your ass down son and maybe learn a little bit before you open that ignorant mouth of yours.

Morning gang. It’s that time of year. Time for me to swap the lightbulb in the basement bathroom out for a heat lamp. I hate cold, and this basement is not heated.
I have the kids today, was going to cut firewood but won’t be able to now. Might be able to cut the grass when the baby goes to sleep. Should be the last cutting of the year. All we have are weeds growing.
I leave my fields uncut till spring. Try to leave some food source for the rodents and birds out there. My neighbor cuts his five acre field like it’s his yard 😂

That's hilarious. I've seen/done crazy shit even my sainted enabler and most excellent Pacific Rim Tour Guide hasn't. The weird side of it is that my greatest infraction (eg: caught at) was a speeding ticket.

I got on CNN filmed hand-feeding sharks off Ft. Lauderdale.

They say a Cessna 152 cannot be looped because the wings would come off. <-- They didn't.

I have been filmed killing a rattlesnake with a Swiss Army Knife and my bare hand as bait.

Shit like that.

My worst encounter, To Date, was running a flashing railroad track sign. Twenty cars were backed up while they switched engines on a train, and forgot, or were to lazy, to come back and flip the track signal to shut it off. Multiple cars started driving around the lowered gate, and guess what, I decided to leap! Wrong. Just then the gendarmes pulled around the corner on the other side of the tracks where I was heading, and he got me dead to rights. Go figure, eh. Some guys have all the luck! I have been relatively fortunate in health though. Besides my fake knee (2X same) I take no pills, get no shots,and no other surgeries. Once again, To Date. With fingers on both hands and toes crossed lol!:p

good morning all you Cool Cats

42 and lite rain here

this pneumonia is a different kind of illness for me , I’ve had colds before , allergies , and the flu

this wheezing and rattling of the chest accompanied by lots of coughing trying to expel the phlegm wears me out , dizziness , no strength , and a runny nose

but damn , this coffee and fudge sure tastes good

because of the pneumonia , my consumption of cannabis has been limited the last 30 days , so much so that I am now remembering some of my dreams

weird dreams too

we will be going to Harbor Freight store soon as they open , 8am , to buy a generator that goes on sale as part of the Black Friday bullshit , will save about $400 bucks on a 3200 watt dual fuel generator

I asked the salesperson why would I buy their generator instead of a Honda generator and he said because the Honda generator would be about $3-4 thousand dollars more

that was a good answer and I told him we will be back Monday morning

moar coffee!
