Post anything you want, anything.




Will be working on a dog house I've finished, cleaning the garage for my truck to fit back in.

Nice 4-day weekend for me. Had to use a day off as I've maxed my PTO. Was refreshing to not work on a Friday.

No contractors in the house this weekend- three days of quiet. Except for my daughter, son-in-law, and two grand-dogs.

Well, I’d only eaten half of it, so me. I ate the rest after I took the photo.

My car is at the dealer for a while and rented this Chevy Colorado. Although it appears nice, it rides like a fkn tank. Not sure if it was designed this way for rental purposes or not.

If you are considering one, pass on it or better go on a decent test ride

No big deal. Retired so just another weekend/week. Doing ribeye steaks and shish kabob veggies Monday. Wild Salmon on Sunday.

Staying in town due to forest fire smoke up in Nevada City. Gas prices went up $1 per gallon in the last 20 days. $5.35 for E-10 87 drizzle. Thanks, Democrats. Thanks for letting us know fossil fuels are evil. And that if we use them, we are, too.

I think I may be single for three days, so:

1) sleep in until 6:00ish
2) get up and walk dogs for morning pees
3) feed dogs first breakfast
4) walk dogs for poop
5) playtime in backyard with dogs
6) go grocery shopping
7) dogs get second breakfast
8) detail cars
9) walk dogs for midday pee
10) feed doggies mini-lunch
11) eat lunch while watching a crappy CFB game
12) take an well-earned hour nap
13) thaw out some beef for dinner
14) more playtime with doggies
15) start making dinner, probably some green to start
16) feed doggies dinner, give them some chicken and rice atop kibble
17) finish dinner with the hope the dogs do not go into mooch mode
18) take Dolly for poop walk, Ringo needs to wait as too many other on the streets
19) head to garage for workout
20) chat with the neighbor, he drinks Buds and I lift weights while solving all the world's issues
21) head back in to find a good war, mafia or cartel documentary
22) walk Ringo now that the street is clear
23) put both dogs in backyard for final pee
24) hit the hay for another quality five hours

***notice no hygiene or shower, I have a helluva record going on here

I'm not a gay chick, so the odds of me getting one of those is extremely low.
