What's everybody doing today?

[backlash]

Yesterday I asked my wife if we have any plans for this week. She said no. I am happy about that.
I tweaked my knee on Saturday so I see a lot of sitting in my chair doing nothing.
I do need to make a few phone calls but other than that I am free to do anything I want, within reason.

I made chili Friday. It was just OK. I really need a good recipe.
My problem is I still can't taste much after my 2nd or 3rd time having Covid last year.

The other half was just mentioning "so....what are YOU going to do today?"

Is the line in my house. If I don't have an answer SHE tells me.

Best comment on my chores' instructions from S.W.M.B.O.!

I don't think I've ever been bored. Would never admit to it anyway.

It is very smokey outside, the fire north of us I suppose. It is now 10000 acres wow, that's a new one for Virginia. But we are supposed to get an inch of rain tonight and tomorrow. Bad timing, I have stuff to do. Animals will be in all day , so we will have a big mess to clean Wednesday when I need to bake things for Thanksgiving.
Making cheese ( Quark) today for my cake. Baking the cake tomorrow, finishing it Wednesday, has to sit in fridge overnight

Got guest bedroom ready
Made Chinese lo mein for lunch. It creates a lot of dishes

I was very bored sometimes when I had an engineering job, sat at my desk many days waiting for time to go home...
not boring here , ever

Came to work today but am not 100% - probably not quite 70%
Glad it's a short week.

Was wondering about you earlier! Hope you get feeling better soon!! You just need to take some time off and finish crocheting my pink toilet seat cover, that will definitely make you feel better!!

It's possible that I could be talked in to sharing my world famous chilli recipe with you. It's guaranteed that you'll be able to taste it.

Maybe you just need to eat more hot peppers....

When I agreed to let my wife marry me, I told her that she would never have a boring day again. After 30 years of being with me she's asked if we could start having some boring days now. I just say "not a chance".

Just a few days ago I was discing some fields. Now we have snow.

I prefer days that are free of adrenaline but not today.

I switched over the feed for the furnace to the other service entrance which was only mildly exhilarating. But after switching I monitored the furnace operation. It was repeatedly cycling! That is when the adrenaline kicked in. Funky furnace and cold weather is not nice.

Spent the afternoon figuring out what was up. Initially it looked like a bad flame sensor. Ordered a flame sensor. Then it started working right. Reported to the wife and then I noticed it cycling again. Then acted like the pressure switch that ensures the induction blower was working was acting up. Reseated the connectors on the control logic board. Then the error code started indicating the limit switch was bad. Ordered one.

So...

The plan is to use space heaters until things are fixed. If the spare parts don't dix it, I will swallow my pride and call in a furnace repair person. If they say the control logic is bad I will give 5hem a spare I have in stock. If that doesn't fix it I will entertain getting it replaced.

I have an adventure ahead of me.

So far, the failures on mine are the pressure switch and flame detector.the pressure switch was a long night wacking it , flame dtector was easy cleaning.

So, mama wanted to go here, there and everywhere today. One stop was to Dollar Tree. I absolutely hate that place!
She was going aisle to aisle, picking up crap we don't need, can't store, and will fall apart before we get home. I mentioned how much I hate that place, which was heard by two little ladies, and boy, did I catch hell!
Oh well, it's kind of comfy by myself in the dawg house!

I don’t like it either. I do get cards there but that’s about all.

 

[Amish Heart]

I get pink salt there, my cousins love it. I used to be able to get organic sugar there, not anymore, but it was a good deal while it lasted. I get bottles of prune juice there for husband. He loves it. And Butter Snap pretzels. And lysol toilet cleaner.

 

[LadyLocust]

Came home a little early. Was hoping not to have to talk much today but everyone and their dog decided to call
Only two more days.
Looking forward to turkey day.

I would love that.
My chili has never been as good as the chili my Grandpa or Dad made.
Anxiously awaiting a PM.

 

[Amish Heart]

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, too! House is cleaned (for now), menu written out. Tomorrow after morning chores, we'll go to little granddaughter's school for the Thanksgiving program and luncheon. Company from New Mexico comes in early evening and will be staying till ??

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Finally got husband home and settled. He was ready to eat and have coffee. Long day already. Tomorrow will be another. But glad he got it done.

I'm glad I did it too.

I ALMOST CALLED!!

 

[Magus]

I woke up and realized I was someplace other than where I left my date and went off to find her.
Why does every chick I fall for have their family hate me? I'm not black, I'm not Chinese, I'm not rich enough, educated enough, wrong religion, not Hispanic. everybody's family got to fault me for something or just plain die horribly under mysterious circumstances if their family actually likes me.

Been cleaning out the kitchen cabinets.
Have two flats of caned goods being dropped off tomorrow.
These can goods are being dropped off at the local library.
Canned goods are paying library book fines this year.
Estelle had a library fine- 10 cents a day.
Estelle is a proud 6 year old,
She has her own library card now.
She loves to read.
Neb, she loves Science, Math and Animals.
I'm still knitting blankets for Christmas.
Good thing the grandchildren are getting fish aquariums, few basic decorations, books about fish or turtles.
They will also get gift cards for fish or turtles from Pet Smart or PetCo,
Those will be shipped in the next week or so.
Been baking for the holidays: Baked Rice Pudding, Sour dough Bread, Sour dough Bagels, Sour Dough Pizza Dough,
Bread sticks,Deer meat Meatloaves,
Will get my Turkey breast out tomorrow.

Good for her... my folks got a set of encyclopedias when i was about 10. Read the entire set. a curous mind should be encouraged. You go girl!

Glad to see you're posting too!

Whoo hoo, 2:39am! Going back to bed for a bit! Somebody had to go outside, in the big ol' north wind!

 

[dademoss]

Been up since 3, everything ached. Cat Care shift today. after that who knows. It's raining, so the dog won't pee.. Maybe walmart to look at weirdos in PJ's.

 

[sonya123]

It's pouring outside, and looks like will rain all day. So animals stay in, and tomorrow everything will be a big mess
Dogs need to go out for a little while , if they are soaking wet I will dry them off with a towel

Got the playpen I ordered for granddaughter, straight from China....it came in a gazzillion pieces. I know what husband's project will be today

I will probably get my turkey ready to bake ( take the stuff out the inside that goes to the dogs , wash it , sesason it and find a pan for it)
I put cajun seasoning on it
