Ha, yes you're right. I didn't even think about it. I was just enjoying the flesh, but I'm no fan of tatts or metal face thingies either.

I don't get (too old) these young hot women who get plastered with ink and face rivets. Do they think it makes them look hotter? Do guys their age think they're hotter because of it?

The fat sweathogs, who cares. But the hotties, defiling their sweet bods?

It was a glorious day here in the Finger Lakes. We had a high of 69°, no clouds, everything's turning green.

Got back from my 2-hour lunch and washed the car. Life can be tough.

I'm planning to release the Corvette and Impala SS from the basement in a week or two.

Still got snow (salt?) on the ground?

The annual Lilac Festival starts this weekend in nearby Rochester.



And starting Monday will be the PGA championships (which I have zero interest in).

But the weather will be great for both events:

We had 2 weeks of rain and the grass is soaked, so I don't want to make trench's taking them out too soon.

Ah ok. We had a lot of rain here too, but my soil is mostly sand and gravel so it never stays mushy very long.

Plus, as of 2020, I have gravel in front of my barn so I can get the car out as soon as the salt is off the road.

Ford 2N?

Not quite, it's a '51 Ferguson, Continental OHV engine, 4-speed, still 6 volt. Apparently a lot of the non-engine parts will interchange with Fords and Ford-Ferguson.

I bought it in 1977, in 2001 it had a sticky valve that went through the piston, and I rebuilt it.

Runs like the proverbial bear, although there is no adjustment left on the clutch. I have my fingers crossed that it will outlive me.

We used to build good stuff in this country.

Yep. It's as simple as a 1950s Briggs & Stratton lawnmower. Very easy to diagnose and fix; no scan tool needed.

I took these pix last weekend. Blooms were prime, they are starting to fall off now.

"Crazy (literally) Lori" lived here in 2006 and planted this tree in my front yard. I cut it down some years ago, and it has grown back into this. Anyone know what it is?

Yep, I have the phone app but can't get it to work. After a couple gin & lime w/tonic before supper, two glasses of brandy, and now wine and something else, maybe that's why it won't work.







BTW, this is Crazy Lori, the best barmaid out there. The last time I was with her was in 2008. I have no clue if she's dead or alive. In '08 we were in my boat at a nearby lake, stopped at a bar and her sister was in there. She had a white dress on, had been in a wedding before she got to the bar.

So we had a few and took her with us, motoring down to the next bar, 5 or so miles away. It was a beautiful summer day and the lake was pretty calm. But on the way back to Bar #1, Lori was shitfaced and tried pouring her sister some red wine.

Of course she spilled it all over the front of her sister's white dress. Sis was a little bit upset. WTF? This was a normal day for Crazy Lori.

A high of only 53° is unusual for mid-May (normal high is mid-70s) but a frost is not.

I bought 'mater and zook plants the other day but did not plant them yet; they are inside for the night. Could be a frost Monday night, so I will wait til after that.

So I've known this 45 year-old woman for three years. Very attractive, hair all the way down to her gorgeous butt and very outspoken, brash, and lively; being around her is like holding a lit firecracker in each hand. But, despite the story, she is not a floozie.

I could tell some amazing stories about her from the past three years but I don't have time for that. She got married (2nd time) last May so I crossed her off my list and did not contact her again. I did not attend her wedding and she was a bit upset; I told her I don't do weddings anymore cuz nobody stays together.

But she hit me up around late summer, we started texting and talking and eventually she told me her marriage was not good.

So things continued to go downhill for them. I next saw her in October when she came into the diner and sat with us where me and my buddies were. The next memorable time I saw her was when she called me on Christmas Eve wondering how to get to my house. WTF? She had a Christmas present for me. W the almighty F? In the past few months she's asked 2-3 times if she can move in with me, although half-kidding.

I will skip everything and fast-forward to two days ago, Thursday afternoon. She calls me and wants to go out for dinner. I have zero will-power resisting attractive women, so we met at a familiar place that we both knew well. I found her in a booth and of course she demanded a hug. Her marriage is totally shot and she's quite sure she's PREGNANT. Holy carp, sounds like a trailer-park movie.

So we had some wine and a nice dinner. If I never post here again you'll know he found out and shot me -- although her and I are "just friends," or so she thinks.
