What's everybody doing today?

[Pearl]

Going to a regular job, and cleaning their master bedroom carpet and the upholstery on their two chairs in there! I really should clean the carpet in our den when I get home, but I have an older carpet cleaner I use for houses with pets, so I'll just skip that today, lol!!

 

[Pearl]

Now I want bacon.

No clue what's up today...lots I have to do, like animal chores and husband's stuff. Still need to spend more time in food storage organization. And have a lot, a lot of potato flakes to repackage. We'll see what I end up doing.

You'll be cooking bacon!

 

[Mountain trapper]

Yeah but @Mountain trapper would be snowed in for months possibly. Remember, he's almost out of bacon!!

It's getting close. I may have to dip in to my stash of Spam.

That should hold off any withdrawals!!

 

[snappy1]

Good morning! I'll walk first.
Pick up my friend and go to Aldi and Tractor Supply.
Do ebay books for month and ready paperwork for tax lady.
Make shrimp and broccoli stir fry.

 

[Amish Heart]

Well, yeah, otherwise I wouldn't get bacon. Ha.
Plenty in the freezer.

 

[Magus]

Cleaning my shotguns and pairing them off in the proper kits.
Working on my dollar store stir fry recipe.
petting tomcats while it rains.
Playing Fallout 4.

I would agree but if I don't get the road open within the next few days, and we get another 3 or 4 feet of snow like they're predicting, then we're stuck until May. We have plenty of food and fuel on hand so thats not a problem. We have a doctors appointment on Wednesday that we should probably go to.

Well.... maybe you can find a few moments of peace and tranquility while lying on your back in the snow to catch your breath and avoid a heart-attack.

I'm going to try the snowblower first. It's pretty comfortable with the heated cab. If I can make it to the country road then I need to come back and get the tractor to dig through the berm that's left from the county plow.
I do so much digging around here in snow, ice, and frozen ground that I'm beginning to think I'm immune from heart attacks.

Getting real equipment today for hobby. Sand blasting cabinet is here and will be brought to me this morning. Have many pieces to work then start reassembly. Primer and put aside until paint scheme decided. After talking with my "train guys", they say repower the old stuff. The old motors may run fine but don't agree with the new DCC systems. No problem, more brass!

My Irishman has decided.
With no protest from me for a change.
That he needs his own vehicle.
That way if he wants to go for a drive across town?
He can just hop in his vehicle and go.
While he has been deciding things.
He has decided he needs his own place too.
That way my apartment won't be too small all the time.
He can only stay at my place for so many days a month due to the lease.
Normally when he's in town, he just crashes at some else's house.
But everybody is getting a little tired of that.
I think everybody thinks it's time for him to put down roots somewhere.
It's been 10 years of nomad life for these guys.
Kinda like Spikedriver's life.
Their company is opening an office in Kansas City, Missouri.
All 6 of these men have applied for the job.
This way the other men, women and their families will have more time together.
We shall see how it goes.
We find out next week if the 6 men got the job and will be home every night.
It will be an adjustment for everyone involved.

All 6 men got the job in Kansas City Mo.
My Irishman is buying a house in my area.
Somewhere between Kansas City Mo and me.
Oh boy.
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas.
I have a funny looking brace type thing on my right shoulder.
I fell a few days ago, been in the hospital.
I tripped over the Irishman's work boots in the middle of the night.

Maybe someone could airdrop 10-20 lbs of bacon for him?

 

[sonya123]

so got an appointment at the vets late, hope we get back before dark, but he needs to go. He is now not eating either.
I don't know how we will get him in a crate in the back of the truck. He's huge and if he doesn't want to move it will be hard. And son is at work, so no help there.

 

[Mountain trapper]

After breakfast I'm going out and start snow blowing the road again. We got another 6 inches of snow this morning, and it's still snowing. The thing that's making it hard to clear our road, besides being 3 miles long and steep, is that we had a foot of very heavy wet snow last week and now it's frozen solid. Oh well, winter will be over in a few months.

I have been wondering where you have been, haven't seen you post in a while!! So sorry you got injured, hope it's better now!
( I just did something stupid too, ripped of some of my toe nail taking off socks, how in the world I did that I have no idea)
Hope you had nice holidays too

 

[Pearl]

Yes, great to see you @MoBookworm1957 ! Sorry about your injury!! Get well fast!!

 

[Amish Heart]

Ouch, Mo. Hope you get better soon!

Friday morning coffee in the community room here at the ...Wrinkle Ranch...
No new news or gossip.. Snow coming this afternoon predicted anywhere from 3 to 15"...
I don't care..

I'm off today, did grocery shopping and a couple loads of laundry. I ended up doing a couple hours of paperwork for the office to keep deadlines at bay. Plan to gas up that car and do a little yardwork this afternoon.

I did put in all the updated numbers in my personal planning spreadsheet and was pleased to see that I can walk away from the job anytime I want from this point forward, everything is well covered. Being prepared is very liberating in uncertain times.

Congratulations. You have been working hard at that for a while.

I may be over a case of the flu. So I have done nothing. I will check the greenhouse but do nothing otherwise. We have a freezer delivery tomorrow that I have to supervise.

Another waiting room. Again. Oral surgeon having the last five teeth in Dad’s head removed. They are too decayed going into radiation. If they needed removal in the first year or so after radiation, he’d have problems with healing. Poor fella just can’t catch a break. As he says, live long enough get a shot at everything.

This waiting room is freezing and, ironically, showing video of tropical resorts in the Maldives on the tv.

It’s warm today, almost 40*. Tomorrow afternoon and Sunday we’re expecting snow. Then again on Tuesday through Thursday. Brother was originally supposed to come down for this dental visit but they’re getting snow and ice and yesterday he would’ve been driving through a storm on the outer edges of the Adirondacks.
