Hope you have a good day!

 

Electric got shut off for not paying the Bill again??

 

They killed Bill.. made a couple of movies about it even

 

Happy bday @Hunterdc1

 

Considering where you work that is funny... Hope someone comes along to brighten your day soon.

 

I have no ax to grind with Bill -- but he and his family are killing me.

 

Happy birthday @Hunterdc1 thanks for sharing about the rocket.

 

I have been working (very slowly) cleaning out the family homestead where my mom lived 55 years, I find cards my grandmother sent me like that as a child.

It is more difficult than you would think to sort through someones things after all the years.

 

I can't imagine what it's like.

Side note, my great aunt kept my birth announcement from 1975 and sent it to me when Cole was born 10 years ago. I thought that was cool she held onto it all those years. It's hard to believe my kids have a great, great aunt too.

Another side note I was a fat baby, looked like a sumo wrestler in the picture

I need to find it and post the photo.

 

My alleged Bother has this down!

Dumpster clean house He cherry picks what he wants Then contacts me after it was done.

So much really interesting things were tossed.

Lots of Books lots of Pictures from the early days.

No wonder I can`t stand him.

 

Someone must have found the light switch.
Making chips now. Got some super hits of the 70's going now; me and you and a dog named Boo

 

Now we got Billy Don't Be a Hero

Mellow for me.
Might have to step up a notch after coffee and breakfast break

 

Happy Birthday @Hunterdc1 !

Thanks for my present

 

There are things in the house that haven't moved or boxes that haven't been opened in 40+ years -- amazing amounts of paperwork and records. My mom grew up during the Depression and was of the "pay cash and get a receipt" mindset.

It obviously isn't tiring physically but a couple of hours can really wash you out emotionally. It also goes so slowly, 2-3 hours work going through old papers and the like doesn't look like much progress.

As a family we are (were, they are all gone) a pretty stoic bunch and never sat around gabbing about days gone by. This is kind of like reading a mystery novel uncovering clues about the past. The gist of the story is the past was pretty damn tough...

 

My MIL saves everything, has some stuff that was her parents. One thing is an old Coleman cooler like this one, she keeps it in the original box




My parents had one growing up, it got used so much it went to trash.

 

Dentist appointment this morning.

I get to go back next week because I have a tiny little cavity.

 

Hopefully you're not still talking about your pants being unzipped!

 

No, those are in the garbage now.

Walking out to the kitchen to throw them away last night, the phrase "upon further inspection, I lost a tooth" was met with concerned looks from my wife and kid. Until they saw I was looking at the zipper.

 

Jesus I graduated high school before that.
Your still wet behind the ears.LOL

 

I love going to the dentist!
He even gave me one of his pickin tools, I use it to open snuff cans
