I've checked over everything here at the house and its all fine and really didn't see any problems at all until I walked next door to the Sewage Treatment Plant. Man, there is sh.. laying around everywhere! It was like Christmas!! I found all kinds of things on the concrete pads around the edges of the pond that I can use. I don't see how people can flush away perfectly good stuff like they do. I wonder if its little kids who flush all that stuff away? Anyhow, its going to give me enough junk to have a Yard Sale and get a few more bucks together and all I have to do is wash it off with the hose a little bit first!

Its going to be close to 70 degrees today and maybe I'll surprise my wife and take her on a little picnic on that little hill overlooking the Sewage Treatment Plant. Its such a nice view of the water from there and we enjoy going up and just sitting and looking. Of course, I keep a sharp eye on the water in case anything floats up that I can use.

After we get back from that I can go out and take a nice nap on my plaid couch in the front yard that I have there in the weeds by the bass boat. I'll tell you, this retired life is alright.

And for you workaholics, just three more days until Monday! It will be here before you know it!!

Good morning everyone. Thought that I would stop in while I am able to and wish everyone a good day. We have ice coming down in sheets right now and not sure how long I will have cable/power. Luckily we do have a generator and a fireplace though :)

Have a good day and I will try and make it back later.

Good morning all!!!

I missed some good stuff last night!

First off, I'm glad that quake didn't harm ya TT. Woulda skeered the bejesus outta me for sure!!!

Wharf, I laughed so hard at your duck hunting story!!!! See? Those blasted birds traumatize innocent children I'm telling ya!

Ok one last bit of chickenism then I'll stop....Honest to God I wanted to tell you all about that awful stench that still permeates my nostrils, when my Uncle and Aunt boiled those chickens, feathers and all, but I thought my story was getting too long! Truly putrid stuff!!!

Now I must go for awhile, but hope to check back in later.

Hang onto your things TT, I guess there are usually after shocks or something associated with quakes. Lay your BP's on their sides if not in holders!!!

It was a little icy in TN this morning. I'd rather have snow.

For beautiful guitar, I still go to Watermelon in Easter Hay by Zappa. I caught his 1980 tour at RPI back in the day (almost remember it :) )

That is really nice. I never heard of this song. Oh, my the 70's must have been a blur. I know I was into some bubble gum music. Gasp I was born in 63.

Wow, great back reading..chickens, geese, emmisions testing...And somehow they all wove together neatly! LOL
Also - here in Snohomish County, where we have to get our cars tested, they fail you if your "check engine" light is on.
Even if you have a note from your mechanic...sigh. (My Jeep just throws that light on every so often for kicks...)
I hope you're all having a great week!
xoxo TeTa
I was reading that if your gas cap isn't tight enough it could set off your light. What does that or a fan not working have a tinkers damn to do with emissions? It is just another way to con money out of us.

Hub, a guitar player himself, says Clapton is the greatest guitarist, ever.


Very hard to argue with Lilac. One of my all time favs, I've seen him three times. A couple of years ago we went to the Clapton, Stevie Windwood reunion. T'was A W E S O M E !!!!!



Earthquakes = God's amusement ride !!!! :)

Oh you kids!!!

The best music was from the 1940's!!!

Sentimental Journey - Les Brown with Doris Day
It's Been a Long, Long Time - Harry James with Kitty Kallen
Rum and Coca-Cola - Andrews Sisters
On The Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe - Johnny Mercer
Till The End Of Time - Perry Como

And my all time favorite, "I'm Looking Over a 4 Leaf Clover."

Now kids. THAT was music!!!
