Ok.....how cool is this?
Kerry and I love it now but I've had it for 40yrs so all my kids began on it before graduating to the faster plastics.
Not rare or valuable....but always the coolest kid on the hill!
I love "cool stuff"
Backstory;
Kerry did not like the ratty old picture I had hanging on the wall when we began dating a dozen years ago. I likely picked it up at the large Mexican flea market we used to have a couple miles from here for 5 bucks. I don't know why she didn't like it(LOL)....it was a fairly large...
Kerry had her second grade class work on a Mother's Day card as a project for this week for her children. Not surprisingly, we have a couple of gems so I wanted to be sure to show you mom's what your little princess and princesses are doing at school and telling the teacher! LOL
Happy Mom's Day...
I have a sunroom that has a Wall mounted 30,000btu nat gas heater .......
In the 17.5 yrs I've lived here, I've never even turned on the gas valve. Not surprisingly when I checked it as we get the home ready for sale....it doesn't work.
Hmmmm
How hard can it be? This is after some...
After learning that Matilda was male, we've been trying to change but for the better part of a year, we end up calling him "her", "he", "him".....LOL
So reintroducing Big Matt, the 4yr old!
I took this Sunday I think....I just love this Stance.....
As we get closer to finishing my home to be ready to list it, the kitchen drain backs up....of course.
Kinda handy that I'm a Plumber by trade so at least I don't need to hire anyone. OK, get 3 sizes of snakes, one of them electric from my shop and Kerry and I head over to the house Friday...
Kerry and I came back over to the Nook lastnight and I saw two large ships with a dozen smaller Sailboats sailing around them but I couldn't tell what the big ships were. It might have been a multi part race, we call them Regattas here. I don't know though, anyone?
They look like Masted ships...
Has anyone ever heard of this?
See that circle around the sugar?
It is this;
I have 3 different sizes of black ants on my decks but they won't even get into frame with the Ponds!
I got the idea after watching an army of ants going into the hummingbird feeders. Since I'm moving all the...
There are so many things that we don't know. Like in the movie, "we don't even know that we don't know"
Did you know that Peter Weller.... the actor that portrayed ROBOCOP has a PHD in Italian Art?
or
Did you know for example that there are pictures, actual pictures of some of the guys that...
It's only 50F and I'm surprised he's eating but he's young so he probably came out early. I won't feed them anymore as I'm getting ready to leave this house but it's still pretty cool to see him come out and over to eat.
base premise;
I am selling my home
Kerry is coming over this morning and we have to go look at plants to re-landscape my gardens. I have the typical never-cared for azaleas lining the front, overgrown rodo's on the side....junk.
We have fun with this stuff b/c we are so different so we...
I bought a Larson full view front storm door to replace my Larson full view front storm door that was 17 years old, at least.
I actually bought this during Covid but it arrived without the hardware kit including the lockset but I knew I could flip my old one over. Lowes let me keep the door for...
OK, we've recently reviewed the "assembling stock footage" and telling a false story around it rant of nature shows.
Todays gripe is less angry.... a question in fact.
I notice that on Roku nature shows, there are roughly 14,000 shows labeled "Season 1, Episode 1'
WHY?
I assume they are all...
This weekend we worked at my house Saturday and our painters even showed up! My house is getting the the point of looking too good to sell, but the guy up the street is "coming soon" at 3 times what I paid for my home! Yeah, this is an easy decision.
Then we came back to the Nook for Sat...
As Kerry and I get my home ready for sale we are faced with a very interesting byproduct of the newer appliance regulations. Kerry's home has a 5yr old set of High Efficiency large front loading fully computerized LG machines. These are very high-end machines with more options and cycles than...
We all have the 1 thing in life that we detest unlike anything else. No, not talking about your ex, I'm talking about the thing that others do that just p*sees you off.
For me it's The presumptive nature of people. ( me included).
Why do we do it? Why do we always think we are right? Do we...
We have been putting in one heck of a week at my house as we ready it for sale...maybe. My grandson has been coming....we cleaned out the "Room that was destined to keep me from ever moving" ...according to all 3 of my kids! LOL We banged it! He got the shed today while I sorted stuff and we got...
Cleaning and packing the back-back room of my home yesterday with my Grandson-20. The room is 34x15 and houses motorcycle part, car parts, and as I'm learning....countless other treasures as we sift through the crush. You would not believe how many NOS parts I have for H1s and H2's. I had...
After you land it quickly goes downhill. Every bit of natural beauty has been bought up and a huge price tag affixed, ungodly traffic, nonexistent dinner reservations and houses packaged into Profit Centers called "communities" while they pay an extra 550 a month for HOA fees so bad people don't...
I got home to the Nook late this morning. I was beat so I made some coffee then took a 2 hr nap.....guess I was really tired.
Last night I slept at the other house..............
I know I'm not alone am I when I state, I HATE making my Bed! Hate it, hate it hate it almost as much as the...
