...in here??....keyboards busted huh
Hell, I'm here almost as often as you. I've been preoccupied with thinking about Discus. Angels are doing great. Spawns all over the place wfwf
Howdy Liz |^|.....I've been playing with Sassy, and trying to watch both baseball and the Ryders Cup.....oh...got a short nap in there too.. |^|
I kept checking back, and thinking..."wow, we must all like baseball and golf?" nyuk nyuk nyuk...
I started the day wanting to do my taxes. The deadline for a late return is Oct. 15. I took the box of receipts to the sun room table. I separated 2016 receipts from 2015 receipts. That's as far as I got.
I put off all the things that I most hate doing until I get in to crisis mode. I wish I could change, but I doubt I ever will. The feeling of having the weight I impose on my shoulders suddenly lifted just because I got the despised thing done before I got into trouble is glorious. I feel so light I think I could fly. I'm the same way about going to the doctor. I'm not afraid of them but I can't make myself go in for the normal things that women and old people should do. Life would be easier for me if only I were more normal.
Hell, I've been on a whole bunch of time and usually was alone. huh

..."normal" huh what is this word 'normal' w!w =;-) w!w
Extreme laziness today. Took a nap, did some reading. It turned cold so I did have to go outside and split a few chunks of wood.
I think I'll move some fish around, I have one that needs to be isolated and starved and if that won't shrink its stomach down then maybe levamisole will. Or prazi. Or leva... LOL
Are you splitting wood for a nice fire or do you heat that big 'ole house with a wood furnace? I sure hope it's for a nice fire. My husband and I heated our house with wood. When the cutting and splitting got to much for him he put in an electrical central unit. He was old and he could no longer do it. I did it for a few years myself. It always pissed me off that it was so much easier for men than it was for me. I was strong! I finally figured out why. Men are tall. I'm 5'3". They had more leverage and could take better advantage of gravity
We heat this drafty old house with wood alone. This fire is just for heat. I put an electric grid thing into the tile floor in the bathroom, it does a little, not much. You really have to take a big swing at oak... this is fir, it splits pretty easily.
I forgot to get propane, so its a good thing there is a fire. Ran out of propane right in the middle of cooking dinner. You know something? The propane bottle that is hooked up to the kitchen stove only runs out when you are cooking something! Its the damndest thing.
Not a good way to tell you're out of propane. I can't believe you don't keep a spare bottle.
White oak splits nice and clean. Red oak is a bitch to split. All it's fibers are intertwined. We don't have fir down south here. My favorite wood to split it wild cherry. It's almost a sin to burn it, it's such pretty wood, but it spits easily and cleanly. It burns cleanly, too. Very little ash...I maintain that it's easier for men to split oak is because they have more splitting power because being taller gives them advantage.
We do keep a spare bottle... its just empty. Its a good thing my wife has a sense of humor. When she can't find a measuring cup she starts looking around the fish tanks.
Your wife is cool.

I wish I could be that funny talking about my procrastination. I still haven't sat down to do my taxes but I accomplished something else that I've been putting off since Spring.
There is a live wire going to my destroyed Katrina house. A tree fell on it. It actually made the power poll lean over! Potentially a very dangerous situation! I didn't notice it until I checked the gas in my LP gas tank. The tree which didn't fall down because of the wire is right over my LP gas tank. Back in March when the gas man filled it last he left me a note saying that he wanted to move the tank closer to my good house but won't do it and won't fill it again because it's a dangerous situation. I called the electric company and they said I had to drive to plum nearly to their office and sign something before they would take down the power line.
It is now October. The tank will have to be filled soon for the coming cold weather. I finally drove to plum nearly and a lady made a work order for it. I didn't have to sign a damn thing!
