Sometimes when I go to 7-11 by myself to get cigs, I will pick up a big bite dog and an almond joy and house them down before I get home. My OF confession of the night.
Hi GW, it's been awhile since we have shared a hello. Hope all is well in the PNW, not long ago it looked like a major storm was brewing, wind whipping things around rain hitting the window which it usually does not do.
Ten minutes later it was over with sunshine. It has stayed single digit all day, kind of a cool day.
We like bacon on pizza and I need to bake up a kg of thick cut bacon. The Mrs has been asking for pizza, I can be slow getting around to doing things. I'm moving slower all the time.
Have you got your tomato plants going?
Hello Old Man! It's a gorgeous partially cloudy day here in the PNW and a chuckle a minute here in Rip City.
I made pizzas from scratch when I was in college, but now we typically get Pappa Murphy pizzas, usually sausage and pepperoni, to which we add onions and tomatoes.
Still a little iffy for tomatoes, but I'm inclined to gamble. If I had bottom heating in my raised bed, I would now for sure.
Time for hot dogs, time to get high.
See you later OF...that is the plan.

Grew up calling all gas stations 7-11.
Haven't seen any here in the south except Florida. I miss them, we just have racetrac and QT which are always busy and with cops.

My OF 'confession' is I wouldn't be chowin' down on a pump puppy and catchin' the gut gremlins" ever!
Now that almond joy is mighty tasty, but lately I've grown fond of a 'Josh N Johns' concoction that tases exactly like almond joy ice cream...
It's one of my weaknesses

Big catfish reels cleaned and tuned just one more that needs to be restrung. Let my brother use it and he bird nested beyond saving and I had just restrung it. Needless to say, he isn't going to use another one of my bait caster poles, Ever... If he wants to use one of my poles, I have an big old zebco 808 he can use.
Lower 90's on sunday should get the big blues in the shallows.

Evening. Well, technically it is morning. 12am rise and shine. Boo prolly eating some SNACKS right about now . Scrubbed my grandmas porch today. She’s going down hill. And my mom and uncle just don’t have patience with her. It kinda pisses me off. Poor lady is losing her mind forgetting everything. Confusion. And they get mad and snap at her when she’s causing problems. You can see the confusion and lack of confidence in her eyes and it hurts me to see that. She was always a firecracker, she wasn’t the “nice” grandma in my childhood. She didn’t put up with no chit and she was a very strong woman. Always making things with wood. Projects. She made all kinds of stuff. She made a lot of my clothes when I was a small child.
Now she can’t work the thermostat on the wall. Same one she had for twenty years.
My uncle lives next door to her. And he acts like it’s such a hassle to help his mom. I came real close to telling him to buck the fuck up and take care of his momma with a smile.
I can’t tolerate selfish behavior It just rubs me the wrong way.

Maiden flight on this new wing tomorrow. This one had led lights inside the foam to make it glow. Can fly it at dusk, or night.
They are pretty cool. Less than $200 bucks in the whole thing. It can hit a wall at 80 mph and not break. Foam, fiberglass rods. Laminate film and fiber reinforced tape. Some packing tape for color.
This will be the third wing from this company. With a forth waiting to be built. The next one should run between 35-145 mph. 🫠
This one was built lightweight, and should run between 15-70 mph. I built a 27 inch wing once that clocked 140 mph and it was absolutely retarded. You’d get it way out to a tiny speck. Turn around and get straight and level and wack the throttle for three seconds and let out and it would blast by so fast you’d hardly see it. Take half the u turn to slow it down. Then wack the throttle for another pass. Couldn’t stay full throttle. Pulled almost 90 amps. Would burn out the speed controller if I wasn’t careful. Eventually crashed it one too many times. Was like 3,000 horsepower in a 94 Corolla.

Regarding ashes...
A guy whose wife played Canasta ! with Witchie-Poo died. He had asked his wife to scatter his ashes in the Swamp (this is South Floriduh where ten miles inland an you can be over alligators).
His widow asked Herself if I would be willing to fly over the swamp so his ashes could be
Herself told me, "Yes."
So there the three of us are in a Piper Warrior (looks like a poor man's imitation Hellcat) at about 800 feet and we get over the swamp. The lady hands me this sorta Quaker Oats-lookin' plastic container from the back seat.
Now folks, the ONLY opening on that kind of puddle jumper is a tweeny window about 6" square on the left of the pilot.
So I push the container opening out the hole...
...and the entire plane interior becomes fogged with gritty Ghost of Husband Past !
GAAAAAAHHH! We looked like a fargin comedy. I dunno who started it -- I suspect my Witch, because this is right up her funny place. (Hey, you folks -- stop thinkin' naughty like that!) Anyway: A giggle turned into three-way laughter, with bits of Charlie or whatever his name was on the tips of our tongue**
**That one was mine as we flew in hysterics:
"What was your husband's name again? I have it on the tip of my tongue. See?"
Landing was easy, even with the dust. I landed short so that we could taxi about a quarter mile with the one door (right side) held ajar against the prop wash which cleaned Charlie? out quite well.
