home.

tard...

got half a ton or so of scrap iron in the trailer. and a coupla more chunks Ima need help getting loaded.

and I stumbled onto the type 3 parts I been looking for. got a guy with a benjamin in his pocket ready to come see me...

too windy to plant, but tomorrow I am ready to put the carrots and onions in. garlic as well.

time to go make that chicken fried rice i was sposed to eat last night...

another good night's sleep...

almost done with my tea. (talked to the manager at the market, and instead of having me sorting through the discount bin and taking all the earl grey, he just sold me a case of it. $6...)

gonna go water my garden, and hook up to the scrap trailer. slip over and make some run money, and stop to put on my new tires. they been waiting there patiently for almost a month for me to get time to mount and balance them. (my machine won't work till the electrician gets done)

then gonna stop and make me a salad at the grocery joint, and go lunch at the vw house.

I gotta bid an exhaust job at 4.

planting of onions and carrots to commence if I still feel ok when I return.

(gotta stop at wally's and buy some more cat food. this time I am counting sacks...)



be safe kids...

ok.

sacrificed the salad bar for a jumpstart at reclaiming some more land.

leftover fried rice instead.

regrouped, refreshed, recharged (not shaking from the mower any more)

ready to go sell iron.

and bid a catalytic converter swap on a repeating jetta consumer...


toodles.

things are shaping up a little bit now...

dropped the converter off of the jetta. broke 2 of 4 studs off the manifold.

hafta torch 'em tomorrow, and replace all 4.

this is why we charge good money to play underneath the exhaust system.

got wrongparted, but recovered, and wound up $20 to the good.

sold a coupla distributors, and actually landed home with cash in pocket, and gas in hot rod...

and my care package came in from the windy city today. lotsa food I can eat. I';m nibbling on ginger snaps now. ain't had a cookie in 25 days. was in serious withdrawal...ack...(and some new music)

and all of my freshly planted crops are getting rained on.

gotta say that almost everything in my life is turning the corner. almost.

anyways, got everything lined out for tomorrow's tasks, and might even have time to load up a bunch of bamboo to transplant next to the cabin for my water garden.

off to shower, I'm kinda manky...

hello?

cat food?

did the cat food make it home?

I keep checking in ... no mention of cat food.

Are there still catz?

we did manage to make it in the house with 3 cans of kitty vittles.

the little assholes are overjoyed...

(bubba was nesting in the philodendron...again)

OMG, sea salt and vinegar gluten free chips.

I've died and gone to Chicago...

Wow.

I just stepped out for a walk after the rain, and the stars

are

in

firkin

credible...

and a big fat raccoon was sitting on my mitsubishi gt out back...

there's nothing quite like the smell after a spring rainstorm in Kansas.

g'night a2k.

meat and clothing all in one

Good night, Rocky.

g'nite msO.

I already got a coonskin cap, dad.

had it since I was a kid. keep it at grams. she's mighty fond of it, too...

I'm pretty sure I can't eat coon, anyway.

I can't eat more than I can any more.

I dont.

mebbe I'll send you one, since I'm not taking visitors any more.

do you mind a few tire tracks?

(or is it tyre tracks there...?)

tYre tracks are no problem but the Quarentine regulations here would be.
I'd get arrested so do not send.
The thoughts a nice one though thanks.

they make synthetic ones now, would you like one of them...?

it is 35 degrees, and blustery spitting snow.

but, I don't care about that.

I am planting a wild honeysuckle tree...

and some japanese roses, and several rosy sharons...

it is spring in the cellblock of my mind.



but I'm wearing my wintery clothes, just the same...

ok.

we're caught up with the bills, as long as I don't answer the wrong phone call...

today's project is to manufacture a fuel sending unit for a 66 Chrysler.

I have a donor out of a 73 Duster, and a torch...

my canajun carrots made their debut during this morning's watering session.

and the rooster from down the road reinforced my decision to just keep hens in the chicken pen...

toodles.

windy as hell here...

gotta go adjust a carburetor, he wants to drive the hot rod tomorrow.

and I need to find one more tire for my truck.

there might be a road trip in my future...

play nice kids.

we are digging a pond.

I have several extra shovels, just in case anyone is bored and wants some excitement on a lazy sunday afternoon...

once all the hard work is done, Ima have a water garden better than it ever was.

and SHADE...

hamburgboy trained me well as a garden shoveller back in the day

double-digging in clay

jumping up and down on the spade top, it was quite a job

you got clay?

no clay. (gram has clay, and we dig verra little over there)

but...

the tree roots really like my sandy soil.

gonna hafta dig another day. prolly be a weekend project now.

gotta focus on making some funds for the roof fixing project.

and a trip to the incredibly overpriced health food store for yuppie people.

you say gluten free here, and you get a blank stare...
