What's everybody doing today?

[LadyLocust]

@Neb was thinking about the princess retiring . If you haven’t yet watched it, I think (in all my minuscule wisdom) you should get the Princess Bride and make her favorite meal to celebrate. I know a while back you said you hadn’t seen it. I really think you would both enjoy it.

I replaced the broken closet door today, and I think I know someone who wants the old one too.

The Princess Bride is a great movie! Lots of fun, and even guys like it because there are pirates and sword fights and rodents of unusual size.
Fought with the snowblower yesterday and managed to get the drive cleared from the garage to the road; wasn't able to clear down to the shed but maybe tomorrow. For some reason the person delivering my package today parked on the road and walked in with it, even though the drive is cleared and also well marked with reflectors. Seemed strange.
The package was the replacement carb for the blower, I've been watching youtube videos and I think I can figure out how to change it out. I'll also change the oil and check over a few other things and then hope it magically starts running right.
Warmer today, got up to 25 and I ran errands without a jacket.
Made progress cleaning up the utility room in the basement, there's an old workbench down there that I'm going to use as my space to start some seeds. Should be able to sow a few flats tomorrow.

I remember two of our grandsons were spending the night years back. We chose Princess Bride to watch, and they were saying that it didn't sound good, they didn't like princesses, all that stuff. Their eyes were glued. They loved it. We had the book when the kids were younger, too.

Funny, when I lived in Buffalo ny a buddy gave me a snow blower, in november, too cold to work on it. He couldn’t get it to run but knew I could. I figured out the problems and got it to run, sort of…

The carb had problems but to make matters worse someone had broken two of the mounting bolts. It couldn’t be tightened securely. This made for bad gasket/air leaks around the carb. The carb was facing the operator (me). I got it to run but if the wind got to the carb it’d die.

The wind always came across a big open field up my driveway, to my house. So, the rest of the winter I could drive the blower into the wind but couldn’t turn it around. I’d drive it down the driveway then have to walk backwards and pull the blower back to the garage door then drive to the street again. (40ft)

Hey, it was a free snowblower!!!! beat shoveling...

Even funnier… that spring I pulled to the end of my drive and put a “free” sign on it. I intended to tell who ever wanted it how to make it run. At some point that morning I went to the store. When I got back the blower was gone!!! I thought "oh well, they’ll figure it out, or use it as a boat anchor"!!!

Hopefully going back to bed for a little bit! I didn't have to get up to feed the fire ( but I did since I was up), Bear had to go out! He's having a belly issue! So we are in the den on the couch! Back to work today!! Hubby and I both have a busy weekend and week ahead! At least the weather is warming up!

Rough night. My friend who has dementia (just diagnosed) called me at 2:30 am asking for help with her potty chair - in the hospital. I called them and hopefully, someone helped her. I was awake for quite a while after.

This morning, I'm going with the Church ladies to hear a speaker about 25 miles away. That's it for the day. Should be home by 4 pm.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Slept in until 5 this morning. Yesterday's high temp was 28 degs, this morning was only 24. Supposed to snow tonight and for the next few days, maybe a foot or so. I got the snowblower repaired yesterday, temporally. I'll make a couple passes with it later this morning.

Dementia is rough. My sil has a slew of health issues, she had brain surgery last year, is on so many meds she hallucinates. She was in the hospital last week calling the police telling them that the hospital was trying to kill her. She was frantic. Has since been moved to a nursing home, but in isolation because she caught RSV from the hospital. The hospital will kill you, for sure.

I'm going to a once a year pheasant feed at a bar about 35 miles from here where a buddy of mine lives. Maybe go to an indoor to an indoor farmers market here in town too. I'll go to a bar later to hang out with friends. That's about it.
