Chit Chat in VOLTVILLE Thread #2 :)

[SandySu]

I spent the morning sitting in the car repair place while my car's exhaust system was fixed. I'm poorer, but the car is all ready to go.

It seems I'm into grossing out you people, but here's an interesting article I read while waiting. The Excrement Experiment - The New Yorker

The tutoring was canceled because the boy is sick. I'll be heading off to Philly, so they are going to have a bit of vacation.

I'm going down there so they can totally redo my bathroom. Bill will stay here, and they can work on it all day while he's at work. Meanwhile, my brother is going to update my computer. He said he's going to wipe it, first putting everything on my external hard drive, and then reinstall the stuff. One thing that scares me is that I seem to have lost my ISP's security code. You know the one they give you when you sign up so you can get online? I'm not sure if I need it or if they can assign me a new one, but if I don't show up here, it'll be from complications with my computer, so be ready for my possible absence. I'll leave Friday morning and may be gone about a week. If everything works, I'll have computer access at my brother's, but there will probably be some downtime while he works on the computer. You probably think I'm silly, but this whole thing is scary! It's like getting a new computer. And a new bathroom. I've been cleaning out the bathroom cabinets and a closet in my office that provides access to the plumbing for the tub. What a pain! But Bill will be more inconvenienced than I will be, that's for sure.

I was busy all day, trip to Costco, putting that stuff away, miscellaneous cleaning chores, fooling with a Fogger V6 (got it working!), filling tanks and taking care of Bo. I bought a drill press and a cross slide vice but haven't found the time to take the vice apart, clean and "fine tune" it and actually mount the drill press. I'll be making some mods on the style of a VTR out of brass and want the drill press to act as a drill press and a sort of crude mini mill.

I hope you enjoy your trip to Philly, SandySu.

A computer guru will probably know exactly what to do about your ISP thingey.

Hopefully having anew bathroom will make your efforts worth it.

Raven - Love your projects. Bluebirds - how colorful!

Awsum - Shopping takes a lot of energy.

I cleaned a house. When I got home, I decided to use the hedge trimmer and rake up a bunch of garden duff created by the hedge trimmer. I hope I can burn tomorrow. Otherwise, my raking is going to be for naught since the wind will blow my piles into duff all over the yard.

Sandy, just call your ISP and ask them for the code before you leave. It's probably on your hard drive but encrypted.

That is what I plan to do tomorrow. Also, I want to visit Penny one more time before I leave. And some laundry and then packing.

 

[SandySu]

Good night, all. Here's another photo from yesterday's travels.

 

[Wuzznt Me]

Good morning Residents. There's a new Tractor Supply opening up not far from here. Guess I'm going to go blow the budget lol. I love that place.

 

[SandySu]

Good morning, Wuzz. What do you plan to buy at TS? I go there for fly spray and salt blocks, but I think that's all I've ever bought there. Oh, yes, I got a farrier tool there, too. They are generally cheaper than Ithaca Agway or the local tack shop.

Propylene Glycol in a gallon jug. I understand they also now sell vegetable glycerin. And syringes. And of course, their western-style clothing section.

Good morning, 0mg. Is that your shopping list or Wuzz's?

Zero's list could well be mine lol. I'm not getting any pg but looking for a CarHart vest and a set of sockets. Takes about 2-3 hours of looking around before checkout though. Got to make sure you don't miss something on sale. I bought our greenhouse and all my fencing supplies from them as well as a heater and wagon for the greenhouse. Nearest one used to be 25 miles but this one is less than 3. Mower parts, hardware etc. Between them and Lowe's our overpriced Ace hardware might as well close up.

 

[awsum140]

TS is about a mile from me and I always seem to find a reason to stop in there. We had an Ace hardware about five miles down the road as well, but they closed and that was very sad to me. Yes, they were more expensive, but they had things that Lowes, Home Despot and TS just don't carry. Lowes of more expensive then the Despot, but their quality is significantly higher, especially the lumber.

 

[Renolizzie]

Good morning, Voltpeeps.

I got my PG at TS. Love it.

Rusty has to go to the vet for blood work this morning.

When we get home I want to burn some yard duff.

Should be warm here today in the mid sixties after an overnight low of 29 degrees.

I printed out some CAASA flyers about ecigs to take with me this afternoon to the legislative meeting.

 

[awsum140]

Lizzie, when you talk to them instead of imagining them in their underwear imagine all of us here in Voltville standing beside and behind you. Well, the legislators in their underwear might be funny anyway, LOL.

 

[JerryRM]

Good morning, Voltpeeps. It's snowing again !!!!!

 

[SandySu]

Good morning, Voltpeeps. It's snowing again !!!!!

Good morning, Jerry. It's snowing again here, too. We're only supposed to get 2 or 3 inches, so that's not too bad.

 

[awsum140]

We've had a couple of flurries even though it's 40 outside, colder air aloft isn't a good sign. It's supposed to get really cold tonight, below 10, and stay cold through Monday with snow on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Is it Spring yet?

That's not silly. I felt the same way when I had to transfer all of my stuff to my new computer awhile back.

Good night, all. Here's another photo from yesterday's travels.

I literally gasped!!

Nothing finer than a local TS. Just sayin'.

Yup. I get my PG there too. Didn't know they carry VG as well. I'll have to check. Love their western stuff and tooooools!! Lotsa tools!

Good morning, Voltpeeps. It's snowing again !!!!!

Not again! I'm sorry, Jerry.

My mission is life today was to capture the bluebirds that are munching away on rose hips outside my window. The sun was out which really brought out that fabulous blue. The photo quality is ... rough, but that's because I was shooting through a screen. Still - I'm so excited I could squeak!!







There are three in this one!



My favorite

I'm so glad you caught the bluebirds Rave, I sure miss seeing them. They don't stick around for the good stuff up here, lol.

Hi gang.
