[montanabill]

Finished reading "One second after at 3:30 this morning.....Wow I had forgotten how that book hits home.
Store more food and move away from population centers....
If you haven't read it by all means do..

The Princess came down with something so she has been in bed all day. I made her some chicken soup. I called Sunday night dinner because I don't want to expose the granddaughters. When I spoke to the DIL it turns out she was in the hospital with her mother. Her mother had another stroke type event. Both grandmothers sick at the same time is rough for the granddaughters.

Pray for the grandmothers would be appreciated.

Thank you

Ben

Prayers for the grandmothers and the whole family!!

Quark and Mt Trapper, how sweet you guys are. And Ben, too, the grandmas do need to get better.
Filled a cart at Ollies and Aldis, little granddaughter's mom visited and her friends came by and dropped off a gently used drum set for the garage girl band. The old man that had the son that owned it rode along, and he was very sweet...I gave him a couple dz eggs for his time and trouble and he told me a story about his dad growing 1000 tomato plants, they sold tomatoes to buy school clothes and shoes for the kids. Just heard that daughter that finished rehab is a mess again, her sis found her a mess. Prayers for the both of them please.

Went to see the Lady Game cocks with my daughter, 83-66.
First we got Waffle House.
Afterwards we got ice cream Moose tracks, Cookie dough & Butter pecan.
Then Chinese for dinner.

 

[Quark]

Well PPK/s cleaned, read how to use my Lee Loader (will try using the loader tomorrow for the .223 Remington) now run the rig, then more coffee and reading the paper and book.

Finished cleaning the house! SO I have a question for our professional here Pearl: do you move the furniture to clean underneath? Just curious. I did today but was thinking that's too much work LOL but lots of dust and dog hair under it

Did most of the laundry , took Otto for a hike, collected starter wood on the way

Axel one of our livestock dogs is limping. I am not sure why, does not look like an injury. So another trip to the vet if it doesn't go away in a few days.

I move furniture on my jobs. If the client has no animals, I don't move it every time. Large furniture, no, unless they ask, most will pay more for that! At home...I need to move furniture because of the critter hair, but it doesn't get done much! I'm sick of cleaning by the time I get to my house!

I would think it would be more fun cleaning someone elses house

It is, and they give me money!

 

[Amish Heart]

Someone a few miles away is shooting, and our pup is going nuts. Realizing he would be a terrible dog to take hunting.

A few months ago I drained the radiator on the Dale Earnhardt Monte Carlo, flushed it with the hose, filled it with hose water and added in a bottle of CLR to help clean out whatever needed to be cleaned. I ran it several times to heat everything up and get the coolant flowing. Today I drove it again to heat it up and used the hose hooked to the hot water to flush out everything again. Flushed it quite a while in several different directions, radiator cap, thermostat housing, and the hose from the thermostat housing. Plenty of clean (but hard) tap water through the system. After letting it cool a bit I drained out as much as I could then, with the hose still off the thermostat housing I used air to blow out as much water as I could. Using about 2.5 gallons of distilled water I topped it off again and drove it a bit to warm it up and let it circulate. I will let that sit a while and next time I get to it I will drain that out and top it off with new antifreeze.
That's about all I got in me today. I need to wash a few dishes then sit myself in the recliner for the rest of the day.

um no way LOL, I don't like cleaning mine, I think I would really really not want to clean someone else's

 

[Amish Heart]

Well cleaning is not fun anyway. Maybe it'd be more interesting cleaning someone elses house, but absolutely not a hoarder house. I mean a normal house that needs normal cleaning. Boy, I've seen those youtubes where people come in and clean a horder's house, shoveling all the gunk out. I'd just burn the place down.
Well, geesh, our neighbor just burnt a house down. That was something. But it was an empty house.

 

[Mountain trapper]

It's still snowing here, but now the wind has come up and we're having a blizzard.

 

[Quark]

Well I just ran the rig and it's snowing although not to much and cold Looks like winter has come to my neck of the woods. Looks like long handles with shorts and heavy insulated wool socks with my cross trainers.

I have had cars I needed to flush the heater core to get the junk out, not classic collectable cars but mainly because they would plug up from junk and not put out heat..

Occasionally I do enjoy some horizontal snow...

Yup had to have that done on my Honda. Had Honda do it as I'm to old for that crap and it's tough work anyway. Honda had to replace a purge value I think it was and did both the flush and replacement for that same cost.

 

[LadyLocust]

WOW, I basically slept until 4 am!! Up a few times of course, but I wasn't wide awake at 2!! Off today, we are splitting the last big pile of firewood, will cut more soon! Got a list a mile long so I'll stay busy!!
