I don't burn during the days. that would be wasteful...

Here's to a not annoying 2012, and to the arrival of cheques.

(rh)

had another spell. this one is very nasty. 40 mph winds outside for comfort.

think Ima wrap up in a blanket and try to sleep it off.

kinda fitting end to a terrible year.

sleep it off

start fresh in 2012 eh

mine's a little bigger than that. but not a lot...

change of plans.

it was getting cold already, with the winds from Canada howling past. hadda get up and light a fire. if I hadn't, aboot 3 am it would be teeth chatteringly frigid in the cabin. and Dink would be whiny. and next to the heater, not me...

gonna try and make myself eat a baked potato. I dint take any meds today, so there are no drastic penalties other than the obvious displeasure, should I have to ralph it...

guess Ima go into the new year fighting like I have for the rest of the ugly sucker*

*you gotta say ugly sucker like Aunt Esther from Sanford and Son...

I'm taking a mulligan...

went out and cut a bunch more stumps into lengths. gonna fire up the splitter now, and make firewood...

smoky made some yucky black-eyed peas. gonna have some later with my potato.

peace.

watch it sucker

I still laugh when I think of what Fred said of Aunt Esther that she was so ugly that her face was used to make gorilla cookies.

I need another mulligan. and a big ol' pile of them peas...

headed in to smoky's where I have running water and a mirror.

I split my forehead open. top to bottom again. not going to help my modeling career any. not bloody enough to be worrisome.

be very careful splitting wood at home, kids. and keep your punkin head outta the way.

one can never have too many butterfly bandages in the first aid kit...

Crikey.
Please be careful, Rocky!
And keep an eye on that wound ....

Here's wishing you a much better year ahead.
You certainly deserve it.

jesus murphy

yeah.

I left bubba in charge of stacking all the split wood whilst I went and played doctor. I come back to find her perched on the pile next to the splitter. and not a single log moved. whatamyIgonnadowither...?

Smoky made me dinner, but I dint know he was gonna do that. I thought we was just gonna split some good luck peas. other than the mac and cheese, I can eat it. Ima get my sour cream for the tater, and my butter. he uses some kinda yucky margarine, and don't believe in sour cream.

took a pain pill. if all goes well, Ima stack wood and mebbe prep the S10 for hinge welding tomorrow. if all don't, then Ima light a fire in the cabin, and wait for tomorrow...

I chopped enough wood to go for a coupla weeks, even though Ima be using the big stove in the shop. I'm further ahead of the weather than I've ever been since deciding to become a pioneer type person...

wood is all stacked. bubba is fed and snuggled up to the stove. I started her a little fire.

not gonna risk infection tonight by grinding and cutting. got everything set to go tomorrow if I feel up to it. guessing Ima have a pretty stout headache. got a snazzy goose egg going on...

can't wait to see what the year throws at me next. there's still some giant axes yet to fall.

I need my Stinky...

GOOD GRIEF! You need to do better at taking care of yourself. For pete's sake...I go to see my folks and you go and do something like that. Ugh. Feel better soon. Stay warm...brrrrrrr

pete who?

anyways, not a stellar day. gotta go finish cutting off the hinge just the same. mr vw give me a big bandage to keep the **** outta my cut. and some fish food to save baby guppies...

got the big stove belching smoke. think Ima patch some wall holes while I wait for it to get warm.

got the shop almost warm. gonna be around 20 tonight. brrr.

Stinky is very noisily eating some dry food. his way of making sure I don't forget the wet food. I'm overdue, but I dint eat tonight, so he has no set time.

it will be much easier to slip out with a can for bubba, however, if I give him his first.

eagle eyes hath a hungry cat...

weirdness...

I feel almost normal for a bit. but it's always late at night when I should be shutting down. came in to fire up the cabin stove. dink is ready to call it a night. he's already crashed on my pillow.

got most of the bottom hinge cut away. gonna clean it all up so I am welding tomorrow. I won't do this job again on a bet...

no fuzzies yet today.

and the hinges are tack welded and ready for a test fitting.

went and fixed the 4x4 for snowplow guy. now I'm driving it in hopes thet he can have the S1o back by tomorrow. as long as my guts leave me alone, that should not be a problem.

still no check. called and begged for another extension on my internet...

kid says he sent the next one already. we'll see if it gets here before the last one does.

Sheesh. Where did that check go?

You are driving a snow plow now?
