@FOUND SOUL,

I did turkey for her on thanksgiving.

ham is a lot less work. from a gluten free standpoint anyhoo...

we never run outta food. but all of our food is full of chemicals and crap.

sometimes I wish I didn't have to read the labels...

on a more positive note:

after the third time gram asked me if I wanted some milk for the potatoes, I just said what the hell and used it.

I didn't die.

and the mashed potatoes tasted like they are supposed to...

brrrrrrr.

back into the freezer today...

making ham soup.

and tile shopping online. (not the best way)

getting enough info to go shopping for real next week.

gonna start remodeling the bathroom (and hot water disaster of a heater) towards my rent.

while it is too cold to do much else, I can get a lot done in here.

but it will be a bit of a pain with it as the only venue in house...

he posted a link to the inbetweeners. (a show that left me very puzzled)

that led to peep show.

I'm almost through season 7...

stinky doesn't really get british comedy.

and he is mad that he didn't get any tuna when I made sandwiches for lunch...

@Butrflynet,

mostly...

got a warmth window yesterday to get some vehicles moved around.

and rebuild the fastening system on the tow dolly.

snow again tonight.

got the red chebby truck strapped down.

and double chained for safety.

brrrrrr.

but it ain't getting warmer any time soon.

gonna brave the icy streets (until I get to the highway outside of my little tiny town) we are on the let god clear the local streets program here. and tow the turd over to the salvage.

then I will start cleaning myself a spot to work over there.

it will take three days to clean a spot, and less than two hours to pull the transmission.

then my builder will come over for an afternoon of his choosing...

so,

that didn't work out so well...

made it out the drive quite nicely, but there was no turning the trailer on the ice.

I am now jack-knifed half into the ditch across the street. (empty house)

I have enough chain to reach the dry intersection, and my other pickup (even with weight in the bed) but no second driver.

put a call into chuck's machine.

offered some special brownies and gas money...

@ehBeth,

we are gonna make it into a neighbor test...

he will come help me tomorrow if no one here volunteers.

I hooked 50 feet of chain to the F-150, and strung it out into the road.

if Ford had put a posi in the truck, none of this would matter.

what kinda nascar edition gets a 373 gear but no posi trac???

turns out rolling around in the snow playing with chains was not the best thing for my health yesterday.

but I did get the trucks outta the ditch.

a nice kid that turns out to be the mayor (chuck told me after the fact) stopped and knocked about 9.

took less than 5 minutes.

got the whole mess parked in front of the house now. gonna give it one more melt day so we don't have a repeat performance.

got the bonneville warming up to go get stinky some more wet food. you'd think he was firkin starving...

ok.

this is kinda weird...

the trike that I was supposed to work on (modifying pedals) and had given up on hearing from just called.

outta the blue.

the old man went to hospice today, but his dying wish is to have the trike all done. so they called me to schedule it asap.

basically a $300 gift to me when I need it desperately.

now the weird part...

today is the one year anniversary of smoky's passing.

karma?

@Rockhead,

It certainly does sound like karma.

Glad for you! Very Happy
