I need a nap. Mama says I'm getting fat, so we now have to walk 5 miles a day. I think tomorrow I will walk to Marie Calendar's and purchase a big ol' pie to go! That will teach her....
Do you realize that at that rate you could be in Kentucky..in March of 2019.. and be skinny.

Well, then your wife would fatten me up and I'd have to walk all the way back to Kaliforstan to loose THAT weight.

I keep forgetting to go to sleep. Then I wake up 6 hours later and I hate that part.
how I envy that. One of the issues with my traumatic brain injury is that parts of my brain literally never shut off. That means I must have an additional couple hour nap every day to function. Naps suckI only sleep from 10 pm to 7 am...
that's it...
No naps either.

that's terrible. So you are not really up late because you are about 2 hours later than me. I'm here because I thought somebody had to keep an eye on things.
thanks for the sympathy, but it’s how life goes. I’m just here for a few minutes tonight

So I went and spent $90 refilling my tool bag today at Harbor Freight. A small investment in making myself as useful as possible on the job. I may get myself a birthday present at Cabelas tomorrow if I can find a decent set of Lee .308 cal reloading dies. Pretty sure I have everything else I need as far as primers and powder.
Hey all,the taxidermist texted me last night and said my big buck is finally mounted,just takes a couple weeks of drying before it'll be done,won't be long now 
I understand that too.
The first of my cotton table cloths came in the mail today. Before my grandpa passed my aunt moved in here to care for him. She must have found a five and dime with a going out of business sale and bought every vinyl/plastic table cloth they had.
I found a dozen still in the original packaging when I moved here many years later. I didn’t like any of them and came to despise the crackling plastic sound every time I sat down to eat. My practical side wouldn’t let me throw them away so I used them. The last one ripped after new year’s. I ordered 5 new cotton table cloths last week.
When I teach a plant class I put a small table under a shade tree in the yard and I use a vinyl table cloth for that. If it gets stained by a plant or the wind blows it across the yard it doesn’t matter. I’ve been using that one in the kitchen temporarily.

Apparently I am late tonight. Slept well all
@gumpy and welcome back think everyone missed you including us .
Having late lunch and eating granola before we get back into doing some more around the house before the Sabbath tomorrow.
@Peanut I make my tablecloths around here amongst lots of other things including curtains and yes vinyl tablecloths drive me spare too but would use them for potting plants and so on or for known messy eaters for dinners.

I know absolutely nothing about table linens. What I ordered off the internet is probably garbage but at least they are all made from cloth. When I got disabled (20 years ago) I moved back to the family farm to my grandpa’s old house. It was partially furnished. My medical bills were already growing so before I moved I sold everything I knew I wasn’t going to need like my hand made kitchen table. It was made from poplar, beautiful, so I never needed a table cloth, just place mats.
I wish I hadn’t sold that table…
10:30 PM ... going to turn into a pumpkin soon (or is that a bumpkin) ... in any event sleep well all. Lord willing will “see” you tomorrow
