It Did Rain

My gauge has about an inch in it today.  It hit just before 10 pm,  right after my movie ended.  Saying that cause my power went off.  I waited for about 20 mins, and best I could remember, turned off the lights and went on to bed.  Since I run a fan I even turned it on, and that's what woke me up whenever the power came back on.  Have no idea what time it was, just was awake enough to know it was on, and then I was back asleep.

 I haven't gotten that other vcr yet, maybe today.  If not, i'll call tomorrow.  Don't know her last name now, not the same as before.  (like mine,,lol)

Gosh, just have no interest in doing this today, so yall tc, and

In the Process of

Getting that vcr thingy sent back by ups,,the woman happened to mention she still had an old one in a closet, never used it.  WELLL,,, after 18.00 return postage, I asked her if she wanted to sell it, and yep she would, so I paid her 20.00.  She's gonna bring it by later.   lol I know what yall are thinking, but,,I've known her forever, so I had no problem with that.  I asked her if she had the book, but she didn't remember, so with or without it, maybe I can figure out how it works.  NOW, I have one to get rid of..

Read about the worm beds earlier.  My youngest son took a can of worms into Mom's house one time, and she said,,,Get those right back out of here!,,So,,on the way out he detoured into my bro Bs room (he was still in hi school) and dumped the whole can into Bs underwear drawer.  There was a lot of yelling the next morning when B reached into that drawer in the dark, and,,,touched all that slimy squirming stuff....hahahahaha.   Everything in that drawer was in great need of washing, and the worms were clean by then....

The house we lived in had a chicken pen behind the garage, and I fed them out a window in it.  There was a big piece of plywood there in the pen too.  Between the feed and the water under that plywood, we had huge worms.  Dad brought a little coffee can down one day, to dig some fishing worms, so here we went...  He raised that plywood up, did one dig, and picked and picked worms to put in the can.  Had to sit down and rest to do another.  Did another one,,same thing, and by the time he had picked all those worms off that spaden fork, he had 1/2 a can of worms,,,  Don't think he caught ONE fish with any of those worms...lolololol.  We did a lot of fishing but I guess those fish just never liked us. 

He took this same son down to the river one time, fishing.  Caught a gar, threw it back behind him, but my son just took one look at those teeth and wouldn't get back in that river.  (He had seen Jaws,,,lololol)

Mom and I took our little ones out to a stocked tank one time, and Dad made the comment,,i'll clean all yall catch.  Our 2 10 year olds (J and N) were fishing too, but my youngest, about 5, was standing with his pole in, and braced with his feet, so those fish couldn't pull him in.  We had to quit, so we could pay for them, and true to his word, Dad did the cleaning...hahahahah  Lost my wedding band on that trip, went back several times, and never found it.  I think a fish ate it.  It was falling off and must have done that somewhere.  Even with a metal detector, didn't find it.

The horse that was sooo enjoying running free, is still at the neighbors.   It's owner must live far away, did find out it jerked loose from a trailer, and took off.  Has the halter but not the reins.

Ok, had some left over chili, out of my freezer, and now it's nap time, so yall tc, and

New VCR/DVD Combo

Going back.  Messed with it for hours yesterday, thot I had it after bro B came over and re-hooked it up right, but,,NOOO,  didn't record a thing!  So,,this morning, I'm back on it, and OMG,,read a little line in the book,,saying :  this unit won't record without an external tuner!!  My fault, didn't know tunerless,,,meant no tuner in the unit,,,just thot it didn't need one. 

Yep, it's boxed up waiting on return instructions, old one hooked back up so I can record an hour tonite.  So, back on a new one now.  Woe is me,,,sob sob,,,

I know yall are laughing,,,lololol.  Our radio shack is closed for some reason, or I would go see if they had any.  It was yesterday, too.

I've worked up an huge appetite now.  All that overuse of brain power.

My new neighbor,,Paul, has the place to the East looking so good.  He's mowed and plans on putting in a garden.  I told him good,,,bring in some rabbits..  He also cut the dead tree on down, what was left.

I'm hearing calls all the time, about skunks around.  People seem to think they're rabid, just because they're out in the day.  They can barely see, so they appear to be acting strange.  And, it's their mating season too, so I guess they are acting unusual.  We raised one when I was young, and my Dad loved it,,,especially when he would answer the door with the skunk right behind him.  He was always one for practical jokes.

Well, that's it, again,,,not much, so yall tc, and

And,, the small beaver at the park.  I had never seen one but J had.  He had seen a group of babies right up at the bank below where he was sitting.

I haven’t been doing anything, and these pics are from a few days ago.

My new vcr came in yesterday, and doesn’t hook up like the old one.  J said it was now, but, haven’t been able to program it yet.  He’s napping in there, so I’ll wait til later.  Don’t need it tonite.

That’s all folks,, yall tc, and

Thx, New Members

Always happy to see new members.  I, too, have expanded the blogs I follow.   Feel free to comment,,,,lololol.

I just finished off a club sandwich, the leftover half from yesterday.  Way too big for one meal,,has some kind of seasoned fries that are the best I've ever eaten, that come with it.

Today on the Ustream site, Petespond, that I love, there were lions!  Male, female, and 2 cubs.  I had it on there, while I went thru all these catalogs I've gotten lately,,so I could eliminate them.  They sure pile up.  I especially like Collections,etc and Lakeside Collection.  Now, Dr Lenards and those kind, I kinda skim thru.

Nap time,,so yall tc, and

A New Day

And still nothing to blog about.  I did take J for a check up yesterday, and he was told to walk walk walk,,,Nothing else has helped.  Physical therapy and that machine seemed to do more damage than anything so he's walking.  Was told that was what it would take to get those nerves working around the scar tissure there in his lower back.  His next apt is in 6 weeks and we think he will be xrayed to see how it looks.   That will be 5 1/2 months.

I got up from a chair yesterday, here at home, and couldn't stand on my left leg!  Had a pinched nerve all the way down, and had to hold on to things to limp along.  I accused J of catching it from him,,lololol.  I took an aleve and after I had sat and watched tv for about 2 hours, it finally let up.  Wow.  It's there, and i'm being careful.  I think the squats I had been doing had to have caused this.  I'll give it a few days,  and hopefully, I can do those again.

That horse that was here a week or so ago, is still up at the end of the block in the neighbors pen.  J talked to the animal control man and he told him it had jerked loose from a trailer that weekend out at the rodeo arena, but we don't know where the people were from.  Assuming a long way, cause of it still being here,,,OR,,,maybe they thot it was a good way to get rid of it..lololol.  It's a beautiful paint.  Young looking, full of piss and vinegar.

While in F'burg, I made a quick stop at Walmart cause I  needed a new blind on one of my front windows.  I measured the blind, got one, and,,,,,it was an inch too short!!!!  I remeasured when I got home, and it still said 30" on the old one, and,,,the box said that, but the blind was 29".  Know what that means?  Means I fixed the old one.  And will take it back some day.

We brought back Church's Chicken, and I ate both pieces I was so hungry by then.  In my dinner.  He had one too.  The trip was on me,,my birthday gift for him,,coming up. 

Ok,,I know this is boring so yall tc, and

HooooHummmmm

Just nothing to write about,,, well, maybe one thing.  One of my son's cats was bitten a few days ago by a rattlesnake.  On his front foot, and it's still bad, despite the antibiotics.  He said there's a mobile home close by and he stays under it a lot so thinks that's where the snake was.  THEN he told me he had crawled all around under it looking for one of his cats once before. 

I've read or heard that coons over in the next county have been having distemper too.  Need to check and see if Jude is vaccinated for that.

I tried to play one of my recorded tapes couple of nites ago, and NOOO GOOO.  It rolled, it snowed,,it clicked, it clacked,,sooo,, yesterday, I ordered a new vcr/dvd combo.  And YES, I did clean it,  several times.  No help.  It will be here next week.  I looked and looked trying to find what I needed and wanted, and finally,,,i did.  It's a Toshiba and will do what I want.   It was 88.00, no tax or shipping.  And will serve my purposes long enough, (rest of my life).

N just called and asked if I had heard anybody reporting a fire out her way, and no, not.  She said there was a lot of smoke about 3 miles on past her, and I told her to call in.  I still haven't heard a word.

Yall tc, and
