    Got a new bed for one of the bedrooms upstairs, evidently it is too small for my son's liking. So now the wife has decided the guest rooms are all wrong we need to move the mattress down stairs then we need to put bunk beds in up stairs. and buy another bed for the son's room. My suggestion of not inviting so damn many people over fell on deaf ears.

    No apology if you figure out what this means
    SOAMFB!!!!!!!
    Hubby and I are out back cutting up the logs from trees I took down and splitting wood. He says want this stump cut? Sure I step back several feet to wait. He just touches stump and I'm screaming and running for the house. He yells they're still coming as he is just standing there. . They got me twice before I got away. In the mean time they never even buzzed him. Oh no not ground bees big mothers, yellow jackets hubby said he could see their legs dangling down as they chased me. WT holy hell!!!!!! I'm on fire AGAIN and they managed to get me nearly in the same spot at my knee and butt. These are way more swollen but hurt just as bad...

    No ,probably only because he knows the pain I'd be in and am in.
    That said when I smashed my head on my hanging antique kitchen scale just as he was walking through the door after work the other day, he laughed. He actually said, " Sorry I'm going to laugh,hope your OK but that was funny!" Actually so dumb it was funny...not like the thing hasn't hung in the same spot for 23 yrs....Lol

    Old, you seem like a walking disaster?

    Lol.
    Climbed a ladder the other day and was met by a nest full of yellow jackets.
    Made a fast descent but not before 2 nailed me.
    A trip to the hardware store (spray foam) saved the day.
    Top of hand is just now feeling better.

    I have been like this all my life...I laugh a lot because such stupid stuff happens to me all the time. Hell when the surgeon was fixing my pinky after a dog bit part of it off I had him and his nurses laughing. When I was in the ambulance on the way to the hospital when the dog broke my leg and snapped my foot up against my leg I had the entire ambulance crew laughing.a couple of countless dumb accident and incidence that have landed me in the hospital or injured . God had me born on April fools day then made me a walking accident. He had the good grace to give me a sense of humor. He certainly has one.

    This time of year.
    It's been a bittersweet thing for me for many years.
    It's always fun to watch combines knock down wheat fields but then I also know days are getting shorter.
    I hate the heat 9f summer but also like going to bed when it's still somewhat light out and waking up early (5;00)a.m. when it breaking daylight.

    Left the house at 7:15 this morning headed to the airport, got there at 9:20 got a great parking spot. Then I went into the terminal, covid has made people in airports even dumber. What part of everything out of your pockets don't you understand.

    Just spent 20 minutes spraying 5 gallons of weed killer on the nighbors side of the fence between fence and his garage.

    About 30 feet of property line. Had the climbing vine that you normally see and them had this other type of weed/vine that was 7 - 7 1/2 feet tall and had some grape groupong typed seeds to it.

    I mixed 5 gallons up as high concentration as what I had would allow and walked back and forth until it was gone. Beforehand though, I used a flat shovel to push it back over the fence and then force it down keeping it on his property.

    Ah, screw that!!

    If you are faster than the right lane move over, pass and move over again.

    I passed an old gezzer yesterday while towing my camper. Had I taken your advice, I'd still be driving.

    The funny part of the whole thing was that his trunk was unlatched but not fully open. Get to the front of the car, hood was up on the safety latch.

    As long as you don't leave the cruise set to the same speed you were driving in the right lane, move over get past then get the hell out of the way.
