You forgot the bar, beer on tap, and maybe a couple of pretty bar maids......

 

Except my wife lost her job a month into my retirement

We can call it something like 'nowhere'

"Where are you going?"

"Nowhere'

 

I hate you

 

So, Mikes garage??

Good evening, gang. I'm starting to make lists of things that I needs to get done and also so that I can feel somewhat 'normal' while I look for work. I need to keep the black dog at bay, so waking up early and getting some "ish" done will help. This afternoon I started working on the roof for the newest bin in the woodshed. ( does it make me a redneck since I've made an addition to a woodshed?). Yesterday was an oil change on the T4R and trying to chase down an oil leak somewhere around the filter. That engine has always been dry, absolute minimal oil residue anywhere around the engine/ skid plate. I noticed oil dripped off of the skid a month ago and when I dropped it to do the change, everything was soaked. I did notice that I had put on a -G1 filter, which is for the 2.7 Taco. Maybe the O-ring is a smaller diameter and it wasn't sealing as well. I cleaned everything with Easy-off and put it back together. I will drive it tomorrow and have a look when I get home.

I was on hold with pennsyly-tuck unemployment for 3 hrs yesterday ( literally, not fluffy the details for extra 'wow' factor) and when I got someone on the phone, they said 10 words and hung up. I called back and waited another 2 hrs before someone picked up again. This person was so helpful and nice to deal with, I would have hugged her if it were possible. It will take WEEKS before they decide if I qualify for benefits.

What else... I had to plug in the portable electric oil radiator heater last night in my chambers, the air was a tad "crisp". I'm seeing a forecasted couple of night s down into the upper 30's. NO NO NO NO, I'm not ready for that!!!!!

 

They've been fine. So far, they've been well outside cone of destruction. Praying that it stays that way!

 

My pants are not on fire.

In fact I am not wearing pants.

Are they on fire in the other room?

Maybe

Yes it does.



Speaking of rednecks, where is @dewayne ?

 

evening gang

 

Hey Miss Susan.

Looks like you are not in the path of this one.

We know 2 people in the Tampa area that have skedaddled out of there

 

Maggie Smith in her early career

 

Hi Andy. Nope not in the path of this one, thank goodness. I'd have skedaddled if I was in the path of Milton. It's gonna be ugly down there

 

Snoop has a young kid, i will give him a pass
Gregg dropped out a long time ago, wish he would come back. I miss the news from under the volcano.
Rj, well I guess I understand he is busy but he was a great person to have around

 

So. I wake up at just after midnight. Barely 3 hours of sleep. No problem. Let's see what's on TV.
WHAT? TV is blank. Spectrum is "doing maintenan̈ce" and nothing until 8am.
Joy... back to bed

 

Good morning and good thoughts for the people who are affected by this latest hurricane.

I knew that it was going to be bad if the Waffle House was closed.

Because it’s Walmart, they put stuff in the air as well. They are secretly trying to sell you more stuff that you don’t need, especially in the snack section.
