Random thoughts from the moose cave.

musta been a missy drive by...

gonna crash early tonight.

and try to be out working before noon. we'll see how that works...

the vert is starting to look special.

got all the fender nuts welded in.

a few more rusty spots, and we're all done welding. (except the damn hood)

still think I can prime this weekend...

dropping down to 40 tonight.

got my little heater set up in case it's brrrrrr when I get outta bed.

Zzzzzzzz.

note to self:

self, if you don't call in your happy pill refill, you ain't gonna be verra happy this weekend...

It was. I drop in to see how you are.

I am fine. Worked middle school PE department yesterday. I walked with the kids for 5 out of 7 periods. I was whooped. Off today - working tomorrow. Blessed with work I am.

I asked the twinks what they wanted me to do when I saw them at school - I knew they would be in my class sometime during the day. One said "Ignore me." The other said you can say "Hi - but please don't call me Sugar, or Baby or Pumpkin." You will be happy to know I refrained. I winked at the one that said "Ignore me" though. I could not help it. Their friends were very sweet though and I got plenty of howdies from them.

Gotta finish cleaning the house. I have so many incomplete projects!

Hugs!

I feel like McDonalds.

but at least my restrooms are clean...

me and stinky are huddled next to the radiator heater.

he's chirping in my ear that the bottom of the kibble bowl has become visible.

I'm gearing up to go make tea...

Phth. McDonalds. HA!

OK.

got a plan...

first, Ima feed the fat cat so he quits his schtick...

then Ima brown a pork roast and get it in the slow cooker.

and then, Ima do some laundry, cuz that makes heat.

my friend E is stuck in the lawyers office all day sorting out a will.

she will come out later to check out the ceramics and eat a good country dinner.

and discuss the problems with the bonneville. it needs a power steering pump before we continue...

Well...I was thinking you would be more like a Zaxby's. They have clean bathrooms too. But they have lots of cool stuff on the walls.

Have fun discussing the Bonneville with E.

I'm pretty sure it's gonna need a motor.

she may want to bail on it...

dunno.

having my chai spice tea with honey.

dink is grazing kibble.

and my socks, T, and hoodie sweatshirt are warming in the dryer.

gonna go confront the howling cold north wind shortly...

got a good smell drifting from the kitchen...

the cooker is now packed with taters and baby carrots.

Ima go borrow a power steering pulley puller/installer tool in town from ol' bob.

and get some broccoli.

I need some green...

and some more brownies.

chocolate...

mmmmmm.

I'm still full.

dinner was very good. we both had a second full plate.

my pork roast was most excellent, and fall apart tender...

and a lovely evening was had by all.

(she forgot her eggs)

gonna go ahead and shut down tonight, and try to get up earlier tomorrow.

lots to get done...

gotta go to town for parts, and buy some steel, and get my prescription filled.

and make something really good for dinner again.

I think that's the key to feeling better...

I think so, too, Rocky.

Night night, happy dreams!

I'm still sorting my head, msO.

and the cats are chasing about and acting the fools.

they get weird when a woman is around. go figure...

think Ima have a cuppa decaf earl grey and ponder my life and the stars and...

I gotta do a course correction soon and need to find my true bearings.

A course correction?
I'm not sure what that means.
You're talking about life & stuff like that?



Maybe you should have them (women) around more often?
Sounds like the visit did good!

Enjoy your tea & your contemplation, Rocky.

my tea is excellent.

and stinky has run bubba off and staked his claim to the bed. he's cleaning hisself now. (that is against the rules after lights out...)

there's nothing more annoying when you're trying to sleep than the sound of a cat licking his privates...

I've spent the last 4 years or so just trying to find a way to survive.

cogitating on the next step...

I've honed my game to work on a national, maybe even international level. now I gotta decide which road I like the best and start hiking...

I'm waiting for a sign.

jesus on my toast or something.

I dunno...

Ah.
Change is in the air.
I know that feeling ... it can be exhilarating & kinda terrifying & unsettling all at the same time!

Ima just roll with it, msO.

I just gotta figger out what I wanna be when I grow up.

time to crash...

Yep ... not a bad way to go.

Night night.

I got a Railroad sticker on my tea at Mickey D's this morning. Is that a sign?

it's probably helpful eh

and knowing what things are unlikely to cause flares
