This and that and Chat

[El Dee]

I'm over run with deer...Lately the Foxes have been more than abundant...It's a regular sanctuary....We only hear of pigs nearby....They're supposedly heading our way....Click...click....

TT a few years back it took me 6 hours cutting my yard on a IH Cub Cadet with an 18 Kohler....I got the good deal on the years last remaining Snapper Pro zero turn...25 Kawasaki and cuts the whole place in 2 hours...Been on a dandelion removal spree as of late...Trimmed a few limbs too...Picked up a little 21hp Kubota with a front loader too help keep things tidy as well...The 4X4 really helps not getting stuck...They all run really well as I have waved my mechanical Majik wand over them all...The Cub is an '84 and a true testament too American quality...Still cuts like new...I've threatened too throwdown a paint job on it but that hasn't become a priority as of yet...Too much surviving life gets in the way.........

I was pondering the alcohol and jail thingy myself...I was lucky too share a connection with my recently departed Uncle NA...He just didn't cotten too having many friends at all...Still we were always close...I saw what alcohol can do and it ain't pretty....NA could have been so much more had he been able to conquer that demon...Myself....I've danced with that devil also...I never really quit...I just don't do it anymore...It just happened over time...I'm lucky....Most won't return after getting far down that road....

I made it down that road for a few yrs. LD and whatever I do I do it 100%. I just got tired of having to drink Coffee Royals just to get up and then it was game on. After a couple yrs. of that I just didn't do it any more. I'm lucky to have a beer in the summer now.

Dee, I think a lot of us have danced with that devil, I know I did. Like you, I just don't do it anymore. It wasn't a rehab and hard struggle type deal for me, I just watched too many of my friends and family crash and burn, recognized that I was headed in the same direction and chose not to go there. As for the current life events and marriage...I'm not a quitter, but I know I can no longer support someone when it becomes unhealthy for me. It's been a very long time since I opened my eyes to what's best for me, instead of worrying about everyone else.

Hi guys! Hope everyone is having a good night.

 

[Bovinia]

Dancin' with the Devil... kid stuff. I slept with the Devil, for a looooong time.




Thank God, and with his help, I get to sleep with Mrs Wharf and it's a hell of a lot more fun

 

[5cardstud]

I'll tell ya Wharf if I lived 10 lifetimes I couldn't pay the Lord back for all he's done for me.

I vote for a Roomba mower!!! Just turn it on and let it run wild in the yard!!!

Tracy, 5 or 6 goats would do the trick, too.

DD and I were at the Sonic one day and there was one of those Roombas across the street just going to town.

Me, too, 5C. I figure every day I can get out of bed is a gift...there are people in this world who can't do that. I've never had all I wanted, but I have always had all I need and for that I am thankful.

 

[FranC]

Good morning folks

 

[Modrod.]

Howdy all. I've been a bit sidetracked these days but doing fine.

 

[FranC]

Good morning mod. Glad you're doing well. I'm sure you're enjoying the weather!!

 

[bizmitchel]

Good morning everyone......and off to work I go. Hope everyone has a great day; hopefully by the end of the week I should have a bunch of DIY E juice "stuff" on order on friday........STOKED!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Modrod.]

Yea, the weather has been great this week. Low to mid 80's with high 60's at night. Perfect weather.

 

[FranC]

That would be nice. I'm so sick of the cold. Unfortunately I don't like super hot weather either.

 

[Modrod.]

Another couple of months before the hotter days arrive. You get used to it tho. It's not nearly as oppressive as a hot east coast day. The lack of humidity helps. After 80 it all feels the same.

 

[FranC]

Yup and over 85 is awful to me.

 

[bizmitchel]

The weather hasn't been the worst here, only had about 5 snows all winter, which has suprised me last couple of years. Last year we installed fences all the way through the winter months without a hiccup......Been cold here though..........but I can dig the cold, it's the white styrafoam that appears everywhere that bums me out.....

 

[lilac7779]

Mornin', Miss Fran, Mod and Biz.
