Let the Waiting Begin!

I was at my 'other job' today.
D didn't talk to his brother about me working there full time.
So left him my list of demands  negotiable items.
D; "Is this all?!"
I really don't have a lot, and I want to be fair, they're my spending money, the OFH pays the bills.
They pay me more, so don't see a problem.
It'll be less stressful too.
You NEVER have a day off from the OFH!
If I'm in a store I'm thinking 'oh my peeps would like that."
Craft store, 'I wonder if my peeps could do that?'
There's no end!

No wonder when I go to my moms I sleep like a log!
I don't have to think about anything!

The O/S status on FB earlier this morning was 'Bored at the Amsterdam airport.'
The kid's on his way home!
Ok, to his base, but the same country his mother's in!

I was outside earlier, and someone was shooting.
I called them a bunch of names, and came in, and after another shot, called Shadow to come in!
I told Ray, "It's like someone took a shot right beside me, it wasn't an echo, and you're not sure which direction it came from!"

I've got supper for tomorrow in the slow cooker, and scrapbooked 2 pages.
Ray's going to work, so I'm cooking it all night, instead of tomorrow when no one's around!

V's called 16 times this weekend.
She's excited about us going to see Tracy Lawrence this weekend!
I also sent her to Costco for popcorn, it's about time to start making poppycock for Christmas!
And peanut brittle, and fudge, and pepper cheese tarts, etc!
Do you make anything special?
I'll have to make marshmallows too if the O/S coming home....that's his favorite candy!
They can't be frozen though!

Better go, going to play at long term care tomorrow with my peeps, and to HC on Wednesday!

Ta ta for now!

Green Acres is the Place For Me!

Yesterday was a little uneventful around here! WHAT you say!
I put the Halloween stuff away, the little that was out, and finished my cards for CCAYR, cleaned some, and started rounding up the snowmen that live at my house until about March!
I'm that ODD!
I change the coffee cups in the cupboard, the snowman glasses & plates come out, change the pictures on the walls, pillows, ....I know, it's sickening!
Oh well, gives people something to talk about!

And today.....I've done the laundry, burnt a bunch of dead brush from the north side of the house, cleaned the oven (ok, it cleaned itself, but I gotta scrub it out), made puffed wheat squares, and was gonna make muffins, until I had to clean the oven.
We also did this...........

See the yellow thing in the water ahead of the boat!?

That's the float to keep the water lines off the bottom of the dugout.

Can you say mud boys & girls!?

See the hoses up to the right of the boat?!

Water lines, shouldn't be there.

Will freeze asap!

Can you also see the ice Ray's had to chisel out of the way!?

This is an August job, not November!

I was the puller out of the boat!

Anyhoo, It's no wonder I'm the brains of the operation!

Ray was going to tie a rock to the hoses.

Why?! WTH!?

I have absolutely no idea!

I said; " We have a float to keep them off the bottom of the dugout, the problem must be somewhere else, cause tying a rock on the hoses, and having a float to keep them up just isn't working for me!"

The float is also tied to a stake on the north shore.

I went over there, and Ray chipped the ice away and I pulled on the rope.

Lo and Behold, it lowered the hoses!

So I tightened it up about 4 feet, and the hoses dropped.

Then Ray let the rope go on the float, and the hoses went to the bottom of the dugout!

Me; "You better go back out there and tie that rope up higher in the float! It's laying flat which means the hoses aren't being held up! I'm gonna get real cranky if I have muddy water tomorrow!"

Ray; "I'll be real cranky if the hoses plug up with mud a month from now!"

Hopefully we've taken care of that!

It also started snowing while we were out there...oh joy!

I'm now going to my room , got a few ideas for scrapbook pages, after I scrub the oven....still have muffins to make!

Did you remember to change your clocks back 1 hour?!

Ta ta for now!
