Afternoon all:
Too much time on your hands Sue!


Made a early "elderly hour" run to the local Walmart this morning, got the last tub of clumping kitty litter, the last bag of 30# dry cat food, a 6 pack of paper towels, 30 cans of canned cat food, and a 6 pack of TP. I got everything I went there for.
No hording, just bought what I normally buy, that stuff should last me from 1-6 months before I need to replenish.

Hope it doesn't come to this:
The kids asked their mom what they were having for dinner, her reply was "scraps" !
They all started crying, her reply was "well that was a stupid name for the dog anyway"!

 

Ok, figured that one out too.
Duane

 

Not really.... came across it when going through my computer... trying to work, but not really....

 

When I was still working, around some holidays our Manager would send out some stuff like that or related like crossword puzzles.
Duane

 

9? probably got that one wrong.

 

3 wrong out of 11 Sue. Some were pretty easy, but 3 of the stumped me. Riddles are good fun to keep the mind active. thanks for posting.

 

Good questions... got most correct, missed a few. Guess I'm about average. Not bad, pushing 75... never figured I'd live this long. Live out in the boonies. Good place to be right now. Don't feel comfortable going anywhere right now anyway, too many idiots who just don't think. SOP

Painted wife's bathroom yesterday (been promising for a year). I'll call it a birthday present (27th) along with an IPad she's been wanting.
Trying to do outside work in the winter sucks, and since it got cold early this year, didn't get everything done. Winter has been minimal snow here in SW OH at least. I push-broomed the driveway twice, cleaned gutters for the last time.

Working on my chain saw, oil leak, can't fix it, just don't see well enough anymore. Lucky I have an Amish Stihl shop nearby. They fixed it in one day, new oil pump line, checked it over, even sharpened the chain. I have 3 100'+ trees that finally grew tall enough to partially block my sattelite dish. I need firewood for next winter, so...
No virus in our county yet, so far so good. Stay well!

 

Good morning, all!! Thanks for the distraction, Sue!!! Lynn and I both enjoyed figuring out the answers. We are seeing an increasing number of cases here in our county. We are minimizing our time away from the house - making only trips that are absolutely necessary.

Stay safe!!

 

I have not said much being in the epicenter and state with first USA case. Even the Toyota dealer had someone catch the virus. I am going there today for my 5K service.

Don't know anyone directly near who has it. Work friend mom. Shooting forum guy in Texas. That sort of thing.

WA State is under stay at home rules. Wife works at hospital, I work at a critical industry plant we make small rocket engines most for satellites. Fascinating that must now have papers to travel.....like the good old days......well I mean never before. "Essential Employment Verification"

We have a spare bedroom full of TP so we are good to go......just kidding but I do have like 20 cans of SPAM. ALL different flavors.

 

Good Morning Folks. Up and out early today. Collected trash and recycles and put out(glad they are picking up as some of the trash would get ripe), took the burlap off the shrubs from winter and off to the supermarket for milk and sugar. Traffic was light but the traffic in the supermarket was heavy. From 7 AM to 8AM is supposed to be senior time only but there were plenty of younger folks shopping. Just ate breakfast and now it's more coffee time. Stay safe folks.
