Yeah, I am OK with all of this but it's a pain to haul stuff and get rid of it.

I am starting to eliminate every little thing that I have as a keepsake, my kid shouldn't have to deal with it when I am gone.

 

Ah man, I wish you all the best Andy. Step at a time.

My F-I-L is a minimalist. He doesn’t have any keepsakes, knick knacks, and honestly has only enough clothes for a week. He has tools and some firearms, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he sells them when he has an opportunity. A few years ago I received a couple boxes in the mail and inside was just about every gift that I had ever given him for B-days and Christmas’ over the years.

He has the mind set of ‘I came into the world with nothing, and I will leave the same way’.

We get along just fine, but he’s a goofy bastard when it comes to certain things. I think it stems from when he was 6 years old and his parents divorced and neither one wanted any of the six kids, so they dumped them all in an orphanage.

But what do I know...

 

Yeah, that's the way I want to be. I have a good collection of tools that I will keep, and pass on to the kid but other than that and technology, that would be all. Pants, I guess I could keep a pair.

 

Good morning friends. Monday is upon us.

 

Ahhh, that Monday morning feeling

 

Good morning.

Monday.

Raining here.

 

Good morning TW. Chin up @CVYota ..aka Andy I believe?

My Texas drama update. No cold water in kitchen or my daughter's bathroom. Need three 3/4" couplings and two 3/4" elbows to get everything back in working order. ZERo parts available around here so ordered online. 2 big ole holes in utility room sheetrock and a pile of soaking wet insulation was pulled. Going to let it dry out for about a month before I button everything back up and paint. I'd rather do plumbing than tape/float/paint. Hope y'all have a great day and week ahead.

 

Ha! Yep i don't clean in places folks don't see. Benefits of being a bachelor in my 50s. Believe it or not that football has been missing for quite some time. Just like texas football...aka tsip football for the orange crew down here. BUT, let's talk about my fight'n Texas Aggies and how well they did this year. Ole Jimbo is finally making up for lost time. And yep i'm probably jinxing our season next year. But we're still trying to fit into the SEC powerhouse we all know and love.

 

Monday Morning all,

Have a great day..

Yes maam, will need to deal with some pipes over the next few weeks, but sufficiently bottled up to be functional. Just ain't built for sub-freezing down round these parts.
