What Did You do Today?

[pstlpkr]

I think every man should have a "War Department" like mine.

I am very fortunate indeed.

Slipped and fell pretty hard in a restaurant , bruised knee and arm and twisted ankle in a space boot . I will have to go see my Ortho on Monday . And charcoal or real wood is you BBQ , if you do it with gas then it is just broiling ,Lawrence you are a lucky man . My wife loves me but I doubt I could get a lawnmower and BBQ in the same day . Tell us your secret .

Warm weather finally. My wife needs a gift for a bridal shower soon. I checked my stash of rough turned bowls and did the final turning on three bowls. Two are salable, one I ruined and I still need to produce a bowl worthy of a bridal gift. My turning might not produce much income, but it stops outflow.

My day started out with me catching up on a little office work, but then after a stop at OfficeMax I was able to find my way to our local B&M for a 3 hour visit and a couple bowls while watching a little March Madness on TV... Not a bad day at all!

Played with the lathe making up parts for a spinning wheel. I am revising one of my designs to be more efficient .

Hey Igloo, I'm seriously good looking (now that I have a big handlebar mustache).

Of course I'm humble as well. :D
The old mower was dying :clap: , and my old and faithful BBQ lasted for 17 years. :crying:

I asked for the mower. She wants a mown lawn and BBQ. (In that order.)
And it's charcoal and Hickory chips for me... we don't care for mesquite. It doesn't taste right with my sauce.
Mowed the lawn today, and painted a chest of drawers... hopefully BBQ tomorrow.

Last night the wife joined me on the back deck for the first time, as she wanted to see me smoking a pipe(first time she's ever watched me do that), and wanted to even sniff the pipe, and even hung around to check out the aroma of the Penzance with no remarks at all...that Zoloft is wonderful stuff.
This morning had a spirited game of Matress Mambo, went out to breakfast, then for the first time hung out at my B&M becuase the normal owner wasn't there and the older gentleman is a cool guy. Some of the regulars came in and even introduced themselves to me..felt good in there for the first time.
Worked on my 4 loudspeakers most of the day, then went to the grocery for grapefruit, grapes, apples, Almonds, Luzianne unsweetened tea. Then went over by the house I wanted to buy only to find out that someone else just bought it. :evil:....so much for that BS friggin Law Of Attraction shit.
Wife and I then went out to supper.....salmon steak with steamed vegetables, and green beans...yummy. I'm tired now.

Met a girl a few hours ago. Worked on school stuff as well earlier in the day. Now I'm going to bed.

 

[chero]

yoru, where did the girl go?

 

[chero]

spent the day getting the camper ready and stocked up for two weeks camping.

 

[igloo]

Chero I want to go camping .I wont take up much room and will bring my own food . And we can get matching hats . lol . Still hobbling around with my space boot and pain killers .The wife is making me Sunday breakfast and more coffee . It is gonna be a good day .

 

[pstlpkr]

Igloo, I'm glad you are doing what the Dr. ordered... Take you pain pills, drink coffee (so you'll awake to enjoy the meds), smoke your pipe, and order the wife around.... does sound like a good day.
Today is the day of the grill.... Like any great toy... "some assembly required".
From Boys Life Magazine ca. 1967 And remembered with perfect clarity, these words...
You tear at paper,

You rip at foil,

Until you're at wits end,

Then you see those nasty spiteful words,

Open other end

 

[chero]

some assembly required, that always got to me.

 

[chero]

igloo, we can make room

 

[greggors]

packed up my pipes and the wife

Bubba, she's a contortionist?

yoru, where did the girl go?

I think he already answered that with this

Now I'm going to bed.

Myself just escaped from work. Tired, possibly sleep now.

Brunch at Park Shore Grille - Cheese Grits w/Shrimp and Andouille Sausage

Just finished brunch ...

If you look at the reflection in the window behind us you can somewhat see our view across the street - a park with Banyan trees, and sailboats on the water.

 

[hobie1dog]

Thanks for the pics Kevin...the weather up here in NC was crap today compared to yesterday, so I did zero today.

 

[unclearthur]

Worked on spinning wheels and watched the fog.

 

[hauntedmyst]

Went to church then came home and spent a couple of hours working taking off the accessories I am keeping on a bike I am selling. I am not a big tools guy but I love having a bike shop in my basement and maintaining our bikes. Then I went out to dinner with a friend and spent a few hours with him working on his resume. Then I worked with the beast on some extended stays will I threw his favorite distractions around the yard. I've never had a dog before that was simply brilliant the way he is and its amazing to watch how fast he learns anything I want to teach him.

Had a fun day having the better half and the kid wait on me . Drank lots of coffee so I could enjoy the meds thanks Lawrence for your input . Got the kid to pull weeds and her boyfriend to mow the lawn . I need to go to the bathroom and get rid of some of this coffee , but keep putting it off because it will hurt like he double hocky sticks . I also spent time today watching my ankle throb , swell and change colors . Good thing my pipes are close by .
