Snails - Response on Threads Part 8

[AttyPops]

RIP all of them that have passed.

So I figured out what the deal was. No post. Picked up her order (NOT at the front service desk like she said, but at the pickup desk in the back, after waiting in line up front for 10 minutes in crowded store) and then found that she had the cheap concrete mix and not the quick-set stuff I want for a post so I had to go back to the service desk (they can't credit orders at the pickup desk) and wait again, and then credit her card for the wrong-cement, and then go find the right cement.

So what she got was a plastic post-cover, base, and box, plus mix. But it needs a 4x4 post to put the plastic post-cover over top of. Fortunately I already have one sitting under my deck taking up space, so I'll just give her that.

And no #'s for the box. But I didn't want to walk across the store again to search for #'s so she can go find them, paint them on, or mail-order them. I don't care.

Going to go install it soon. Will need to cut the post after I figure out the height. But the rest should be easy peasy.

So I'm about to head out the door, and she calls and delays until tomorrow.
Oy.
She DID say "if you really want to install it today/now.....we can". But she wouldn't have called if she didn't want to cancel.

no good deed goes unpunished - it's a fact

Oy.

Hopefully it isn't colder tomorrow!

 

[tiburonfirst]

finally starting the cooking process - installation finished.

 

[notsoogood]

I'm behind the times here...what are we cooking?

 

[tiburonfirst]

mashed potatoes, red cabbage and some leftover turkey from the boy

 

[notsoogood]

You lost me at the red cabbage!!!

Good evening snails

I had ribs from Smokin’ N Style , yum! Bbq beans and slaw.

 

[notsoogood]

We have a ton of ham left over. Pretty sure it'll be ham slices and baked potatoes here. He's not one for eatin' out. I will say, since he retired 2 years ago, he does all of the cookin'! And he's a pretty darn good cook. But I do miss the meals I would have out when he was working swing shift and I could get a good chicken fried steak or tips and eggs and even some good almond chicken!

 

[tiburonfirst]

well, i finally ate - now on to the critters, way late

 

[notsoogood]

Just how many critters you got? Didn't you have a donkey? We had to have our last rottie put down in February. I really miss having a dog. He says it's best to wait until spring to get another one but I disagree. It would be a house dog anyway. I soooo want a puppy!

 

[tiburonfirst]

still a zoo here, norie
2 parrots, 1 donkey, 5 cats, fish in and out, and now down to 1 rescue pup.

 

[tiburonfirst]

i'll give the parrots a few more minutes to finish their snack - everybody else is caught up

Well, be getting one

goodnight and sweet dreams to all!

Sweet dreams, tib

G'nite Tibby...woulda been here sooner but was reading up on the Donner Pass debacle. Terrible but interesting reading. Of course, my memory is such I'll forget much of it by tomorrow.

 

[daleron]

Good night Tibs, know that feeling

 

[daleron]

Good night lovely and handsome Snails, time to read
