Dang darlin, this is posed to be your week off, whatchya goin to work for?

I'm stashing like a squirrel for the winter right now while I can still get a little over time. The base I went to is only 34 miles from home, and it was only for an 8 hour shift. I didn't work too hard. :)

I am lovin' these vape sales, maybe too much....;) Scored an iTaste MVP 3.0 Pro 60w express kit for $44.99 at vapordna with a $10 off $35 code I found at RetailMeNot. Threw in a few unicorn bottles to hit the $50 free shipping deal. Oh, and it's that pretty baby blue color I've been wanting too. My favorite drip tip craftswoman is having a 35% off sale this weekend and she just happened to have an acrylic blank that will make a most beautiful tip for the MVP. If anyone's interested in the tip sale here's a link to her site: Home - Angel's Heavenly Designs Sale code is laborday35. Lovely person to deal with, I've been very happy with her work.

Sorry for gushing on, I hit my two year vapeversary next week and I'm celebratin' early...

Oh yes! Gush away! 2 years is a great milestone! Good for you! You deserve something special to celebrate! I just hit 4 years on 9/1 and Mike's is in November. We've celebrated so much we have quite a collection of devices, tanks, tips and holders. Sure beats a collection of ashtrays!

Ken.....a bachelor's work is never done izzit?? At least ya aint raisin a youngin or two by yourself on top of it.
...
heh. A good bachelor is the equal of a woman. We treat illness the same way and don't make excuses. If it don't get done - there is only one person responsible and if it DOES get done... there is only one person responsible.
And anyone who is not a single parent has it 1000 times easier than the single parent.

...

Ken, don't ya think you should break that up into smaller bites? Good luck! Have a great (and productive) day!
really? When weekends are the only times I have time to do anything? who could you possibly suggest that I get to do it?
:lol:

@oldbroad pm sent!

Watching funeral of Harris County Deputy Goforth. All Houston channells broadcasting the whole thing live since about 10:30 this morning. It's almost 1 now, & they've just loaded him in to the hearse for the private procession to the cemetary. There are thousands of LEO's from all over the country there, as well as thousands of civilians. The roads for miles are lined with people. I did fine until they played Taps with the echo. My uncle is there somewhere representing the Association of Retired Texas Rangers. This show of support is amazing. This is how it should be. Ferguson & Baltimore should be shamed. And Westboro never made it to town from what I hear.

It's wonderful to see all that support, but so very sad that they're there to do it.

Hey Y'all. I ripped and ran all day long.............chopped off all my hair.............got a chiropractic adjustment............went to work for 8 hours.......I'm bone whipped. Good Night all!!

Gee tomorrow I just have to completely weed 4 flower beds - trim the overbearing flowers from 3 of them, power wash the pool filter so I can finish the latest cleanup of the green water find the parts to make a fabric shade for a 4.5' long window that the sun blinds me from and clean the kitchen... saving the dining room and living room for Sunday.

I am truly blessed, that would be a weeks worth of activity for me. Just reading about all that makes me want to take a nap!

Pictures at 9 am


a bit weedy here, but for once, I managed to get the colors the way I actually see them in real life.


Garden090515A.jpg



and you can see that the bush in the back of the hedge is getting a bit leggy. as well as the weeds in front


Garden090515B.jpg



and actually, this is NOT a bush. It's bluebells


Garden090515C.jpg



I do not garden between 11:30am and 3 pm.


so after 2 hours, I managed to trim the bougainvillea, but here is the more drastic transformation


Only one planting bed done... Don't think I'm gonna get everything done today I wanted to.

Mostly, I ignored the 3 species of bees buzzing about, and none stung me, but they LOVE the cinnamon buttercups!!

Tell me about the tons of sales. I do NOT use the email addy I signed up here with. So seems like ECF is giving out (or selling) our email. :(
I never get unsolicited vape emails. I only get emails from vendors i've purchsed from & then only if i've checked off that I want them when I signed up for an account. They all have an unsubscribe option at the bottom.

You looked at Angels Heavenly Designs? As far as I know the most expensive one she sells is about $33 or so, and that's all tricked out in two tone with a crystal added. She has lots of choices in the $15 range, which is my comfort zone, just $9.75 with the sale.
She does. Just depends on what options you pick. Not knocking the price as they appear to be hand made to order and that is surely what she would have to charge to make a decent profit, just saying it's more than I would ever pay for a drip tip, YMMV of course.

What not to do in FL after 11:30 am
(or: What could it hurt… right?)

Kept looking at those before pictures… and hey – It’s just a SMALL corner. And it’s in the shade too…
And while I’m at it, those bluebells are just too dense against those trees… they MUST be trimmed back.
Gotta clean up after oneself – right?

That is when the dizziness hit, and my hat started to drip sweat. Sat in the chair on the porch for 10 min – drinking cranberry juice… finished cleaning up… now gonna cool all the way down and go take a shower.

This corner is done!!

I can weed this late this afternoon / early evening if it’s cool enough – otherwise it can wait until tomorrow.

Garden090515Cp.jpg


And If I hadn’t done the weeding, I would have missed this great little find… another bulb starting to sprout!

Garden090515Bnew.jpg


And yes, I did pull that little clump of grass… It was mocking me!!

I wonder if you're the type of person who when they get spam they may read or delete depending on who it is from.
Or you send them a stern reply detailing your annoyance and disinterest at them :sneaky:
Sending a reply or even acknowledging them only cause more to magically appear in your inbox. Actually it's not magic as most spam these days is sent by bots and any sort of reply just tells them that have a valid email address. The unsubscribe feature in the microscopic fine print at the bottom is supposed to work by law but, as they say, good luck with that.

Not to be argumentative but if you check your spam inbox I'll bet it's full. Mine is. Most mail services these days have great spam filters. They go into the spam mailbox and they say check there if you didn't get an expected email because although good the filters aren't anywhere near perfect.

Ahh that FL pink stucco. Don't really miss it.
It's yellow here at the Olde Townhouse. The whole development is the same color and the neighborhood board WILL NOT approve anything else. Even the front doors all, look the same. When they built the place 40 years ago they sheathed the outside of the front doors with T-111 siding and will not even consider anything else. I would really like to replace the front door with something nicer but, why bother if I just have to cover it with that junk. I'll post a pic in a few to show you what I'm talking about.
