K got a nail in his tire a few weeks ago but he carries a full size spare. Well we got a nail in the spare yesterday on our way to Walmart. So we had to put the donut on the car just to get home and we live in a small town that isn't open on Sundays. Well he took the tires to the corner tire shop and they were on it like white on rice.

We did get some more Mountain House food for our BOBs.

...like white on rice....

Gasp! That is totally....unpolitical correct...I love it!

I almost posted what I really wanted to say...!

 

[Amish Heart]

Haven't you heard, "That's very white of you?" Ha Ha
Husband says that to me and I crack up

 

[Grimm]

Finally got the 6 banned Dr. Seuss books downloaded as PDF files. I recommend you buy them if you see them or download them now.

I have been de-stashing my craft supplies and fabric. I want to have everything set when we decide to get out of Kommiefornia.

 

[Bacpacker]

More work. More CRAZY. Went out and planted some stuff when I got home. Opened all my new seed and sorted a little.

 

[Neb]

Another day of construction building walls.

This is the main bathroom. Yes the service is going to be moved.

The master bathroom has three walls.

Behind the ladders one wall of the great room.

A peek out back shows deer just outside the fence of the paddock of the horse farm out back.

Tomorrow should be more wall building for us.

Strawberry has been to the Vet.
I'm $25 poor.
But nails are no longer trying to grow into her foot.
How many Maint. men does it take to decide I need a new stove?
Today, I had 3 peons and 1 head Maint. man thinking I would be getting a new stove.
They have to clear it with the boss lady.
Seems the control panel no longer works.
They were talking among themselves and decided that stove was about 25 years old.
If not older.
That company has been out of business since the 70's.
Strawberry is sleeping on my lap, she's worn out.
We've walked over two miles today.
I splurged today and got a half price ice tea from Sonic.

Stayed up all night, slept all day, ate breakfast at 4:00 pm.

Lets you enter the model number of appliances lawn mowers furnaces stoves etc...

At it will list all of the most common parts and they ship fast. If they don't have the part they will tell you where to look. The only time they ever failed me was a broken knob for an old air conditioner but did offer a workable similar knob.

I have a set of spares for my furnace so I can fix it fast instead of waiting for a repair guy to come out look and then order a part.

Q
Does keeping a set of spares for my furnace qualify as "extreme prepping"?

Thank you for the information.
But..... they decided I needed a new stove.
When it took 45 minutes for the oven to heat to 145*.
The oven was set at 350*.
We couldn't find the model number on the stove.
It took 30 minutes for each of the burners to get warm.
Mind you not hot, just warm.

I neglected to report the efforts of @Firepolice271 yesterday.

The overflow of our pond had clogged and the water was running over the hill and spilling out on the street. He had to clear a clog due to a stone blocking the discharge pipe that feeds into culvert that feeds the storm drains.

That pond is fed from the 2 springs he and I developed a couple years ago. Their production varies over the the year from a trickle to 5000 gallons a day or more. 5000 gallons a day is the the highest I ever measured. That is approximately 1 swimming pool full of water a day.

Dumping a swimming pool every day when temps are still dropping below freezing on the road is not nice.

He did good.

[phideaux]

It's off to the big town again today.
Wife is doing much better, this is her follow-up with surgeon .
They have to ask you face to face how your doing. Can't ask that over phone, don't make money if they did that.
They'll tell her come back in 6 months.

Then it's to JC Penney to buy baby stuff for 2 baby showers.

Then drop off paperwork at Rheumatologist.

Then lunch, who knows where.

Hope y'all have a wonderful day ,
Y'all come back now, ya hear....

Jim

 

[Amish Heart]

Sounds like a good day to me, Phideaux. Glad she's better!
The kids have a school late start today because they do that on the first of the month, so they are just getting around now. Will take little granddaughter to school, the twins take the bus. They enjoyed the sleeping in a bit, they played band for the basketball game at the High School last night and it went a bit late, but the boy's team won, so now there's the championships. The guys are already out working on the deck and the ramp coming off the add on (hooray!). With the adjoining door put in yesterday, the add on to the house, husband was able to take a walk through, and that was really good. Our son and a girlfriend we haven't met are coming in on the 1:30 am train from Albuquerque. So today is a cleaning day, and making some brownies for him since they're his favorites. Planning some things to do for the few days they're here. Of course, the cousins want to meet her, so I hope she doesn't freak out.

 

[phideaux]

Doctor visit is done.
Come back in 3 months.
Glad your doing better...$245.

Stopped at hobby lobby .
She buys tons of skanks for quilting.

Now guess what.

Haven't been to JC Penney yet.

Sounds like a good day for you and your wife, Jim!

Ben

I bookmarked that website! Thanks!

Already walked and then walked dogs.
Couple of calls to make.
Go through and try on more clothes--got halfway through yesterday.
Move some of the food in one freezer to the smaller chest freezer today.
That's about it!

 

[The Lazy L]

Made the bed.
Reloaded ammo this morning.
Wrote a short story for a different forum.
Wife fixed lunch.
Still thinking out taking the RV out of winter storage. This involves airing the tires, Disconnecting the chassis battery maintainer (and it's extension cord), unplug the RV from shore power and moving the RV forward fifty feet so I have access again to the my shop's overhead door. Maybe next week when it forecasted to be warmer.

 

[phideaux]

FINALLY...
Lunch

Best Cod I've ever had anywhere.
Culver's

Unplanned visit to the cardiologist. The kids heart rate kept dropping below 40. They are changing one of her meds and putting her on a holter monitor for a few days.

 

[Neb]

More wall building for us today.

The right hand wall of the great room is done.

The master bedroom is framed up.

The master bath.

Standing in the closest of the master bedroom looking toward the master bath.

Tomorrow we have to move the piles of supplies to the master bedroom so we install the other walls for the 2nd bedroom and laundry/pantry.

Just went out an hour ago to close coop. Something killed a hen. Mad. No head.

Owls do that.
