    I had to flip over, yeah, looks like WCW when it was on TBS Saturday's at 4:05pm.

    Went to commercial break and had to be weird for them to stop everything and stand around through the commercial break and count down to coming back.

    Being able to hear the announcers calling your match lol

    Wrestlemania over 2 days is going to be a joke

    Teenagers in VA videoing themselves coughing on produce in grocery stores and post it up online, so disgusting and pathetic. Not a lot of confidence in the younger generation with the social media influencer lifestyle.

    Saw same report- I told my wife if I actually see anyone doing that they will be pummeled severely. That's not an empty promise. Worth me getting C19 than 30 others

    First date I went on with my wife was 6 pack starring kenny. I have not dated my wife that whole time but that was the first date we went on.

    After 25 years in the food service industry my hand washing skills are amazing.. but their were not many people out at all this morning and O'Reilly's was just me and the clerk. If I am stuck around the house then I have three cars that all need to have filters and oil changed, so.

    Had to go grocery shopping at Kroger for my dad this morning, his list had hand sanitizer and TP. I just laughed, I brought him some from my house.

    Shopping at Kroger was interesting I went in with a mask and gloves. No TP, no soap, no can goods or frozen veggies. Plenty of meat and other items.

    We shop at whole foods that are fully stocked each time I have been there. I did go to the dirt bike store to get Yama Lube. Want the dirt bikes ready just in case we have a mad max situation.

    I told my 7o-year-old dad to have his pistol by his chair, he's alone and not too nimble.

    Water heater decided to start leaking out the top by the relief valve tube of all things. Just what I wanted to find on a Saturday night. Looks like a trip to Lowes in the morning which is a 160 mile round trip and an install in the afternoon. Really can't complain too much other then wrecking my lazy planned Sunday. The old one made it 19 years without touching it. Oh wait the wife is going to want to help me !! It will be a hundred questions.

    1. Is it going to fit through the trap door leading down to the basement ? I don't know, that is why I have a chain saw to make the hole bigger if it don't fit through.

    2. Did you turn the power off ? No it is much more exciting to unhook up live wires and have them dangle over my head while I work.

    3. That is not how my dad would have done that. Do you want me to call him and ask ? While you dad is a great guy, I didn't need him when we first got married and I still don't need him after 31 years. When I need him for something... I will call him !!

    4. Do you want me to google it ?? For the love of God.... NO !!!!!

    4. a. I googled it. Do you want to see what they said ?? NO !!!
    4. b. I found a video on YouTube. Do you want to see it ?? NO !!!

    5. Why do you get crabby when you work on stuff in the house ??

    So had a friend call yesterday he was trying to drop a tree and hung it up. His neighbor helped and they struggled for a couple hours then he called me. I had not run my chainsaw since last fall when I was done heating with wood. I went over and got the tree to the ground and dropped a few other trees that he wanted down. I felt good like I just got done with my favorite work out, then I woke up this morning and it feels like somebody dumped sand in my hip joints , so pissed about being old.

    I dropped a decent sized Hackberry the other day and whittled it down pretty quick. Separated out the firewood to keep and loaded up a trailer with the rest to go dump out at the farm. This is the first morning my back wasn't sore. My problem is not accepting I'm getting older and cant just run through it like I used to.

    I did teach my friend about falling wedges, and how to use them when bucking trees under tension. I also taught him that you do not need to preload the saw before you cut, drives me nuts when people feather the throttle of a chain saw.

    Good rant TJF!
    Before I retired the department I worked out of was called Installation. That's right I installed things for a living yet my wife seems to know more about it than I do!

    Another thing...... I consider myself a good driver. I've driven a lot of things..... speed boats, drag cars, motorcycles, tractors, snow plows, skid steers, snowmobiles, atvs' and more. We were taking a ride around the property yesterday in our side by side with the dogs in tow. I started up the trail in the woods that goes up to the top of our ridge for the first time this year. It is fairly steep, a 200 foot elevation change. She asks, "Are we going to make it?"

    I responded with..." I hope so but if not it was nice knowing you."

    I thought it was fun.
