TT I'd blast that stump in half a shake......but.....Dynamite is illegal here....I'd thought about mixing some fertilizer and fuel....Don't need the attention that may bring....In the shade and keeping a low profile...

Actually I use the loader and dig and dig....then I dig some more....I dig until she just won't back out loaded one more time...It gets slick!!!!! Then as a proper redneck would I pull up a chair and blow dirt off the roots with the hose...I challenged the neighbor's kid too ride his 4 wheeler down in there today...he passed...chickensheet kids....

Tomorrow Mom is riding with Spike and myself up too the Agri Supply....Round Up and such...

That hormone and antibiotic free chicken is pretty good...As is the pork...The breasts were fairly large....Now there's nothing wrong with large breasts I just usually prefer the smaller ones...Chicken breasts that is...The smaller ones usually taste better too me...There is a distinct flavor difference with the organic meat....

I've been on a diet since 4/1...227 at the start and who knows now...Scales were reading 218 and I thought it happened rather quickly......so......I got too looking for a battery in those scales...Never did find a battery and had the scales torn too pieces...I reassembled them and it was a no go...They got a free ride too the landfill today....Getting off the sugar products does me good...I feel better...not much better cause I always feel pretty good....Gotta get myself some scales soon...

I gotta give the local honey two thumbs up...My sinuses made it through the major pollen storms the last week with nary even noticing....

 

[Bovinia]

I don't use my scales Dee, I just go by how my Levi's fit, and I'm happy to say that I wore a pair today that I haven't been able to stuff myself into for months...and they weren't even tight!

Good news about my car's ac, it's not the compressor. It's the belt and tension-er. Bad news is it's still gonna cost me about $200 to get it fixed. I gotta take it to them Monday morning. I tried a little bartering, but the mechanic wasn't interested...in my Buzz Pro

When I saw one of these beauties sitting in the shop, I knew I wasn't dealing with dime store mechanics.

Very pretty, Fran! Wonder if 5C is enjoying his day today?

Nice Kitchen Fran. I redid this one about 15yrs. ago. I love oak cabinets. My daughter wanted to paint them white and I told her it's sacrilegious to paint oak.

Yes Fran the kitchen is coming along nicely !!

Good Luck Five !!!!!!!!!!!

During my Radiology days one of my jobs was to pin the patient should they become unruly during a colonoscopy...Not fun at all...I much preferred when they were out...My favorite was the Barium Swallow..Kinda cartoonish to watch that....

The stump is putting up one hell of a fight...It won't win....No way!!!!!!!!!!!! Day 4 tomorrow !!!!!!

Organic chicken breasts and some pork chops sizzling away ATM...Should be enough on the grill to make it until the week end...Yeah I'm a cook to......

I won't let them pull a tooth unless I'm out. They ask me once if I wanted to remain awake and I said absolutely not. They tried the barium test on me but my system is too slow. When they tried it the doc said it takes 40 min. for stuff to move out of your stomach. You have been here 5 hrs. and it hasn't budged. They wanted to put a pacemaker on my stomach to empty it sooner but my insurance wouldn't go for it.

Now that gives 5C something to think about as he is being rolled into the room to have it done. A guy like LD having to pin him. Hmmmm.... 5C, you may want to behave yourself in there!

They always have 4 or 5 of them great big nurses that look like they used to work for the gestapo in there with me.
At least they give you more time to drink that prep. It used to be an hr.. I couldn't drink a gallon of beer in an hr.

i need food!!!

 

[908Tracy]

Ah 5c....I feel for ya bud. We will be thinking of ya tomorrow and sending positive vibes your way!

Fran, Your kitchen will be gorgeous!!! I am positively green with envy!

Bov, I LOVE Camaros!!! Every last one of them. I've owned a 76 and an 87. Drooling over the new ones, but hate car payments. Maybe some day!

 

[Bovinia]

Fran, I don't see the mess, I see an awesome new kitchen in progress!

5c, I think I'd want to be out for that procedure too. My Mom used to tell me about the surgery I had when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I don't remember pre op but she said it took 5 nurses to hold me down to put the IV in my little hand...I was kicking and screaming lol.

Haha Tracy, as usual I walked right into the shop instead of the customer door. This big burly gent looked at me and asked if I wanted something, and I pointed to the camaro and said "That!" It was the magic word to get him to laugh, and the conversation was on from there

 

[FranC]

OMG I'd never paint oak 5c. Good luck with the procedure.

Thanks on the kitchen everyone. We still have the other end to do. Not so many cabinets there but there will be a new computer desk.

 

[kgj]

Good luck, 5C.
Nice progress, Fran.

Just curious, Does the M1A1 tank break down with some liquids like poly. tanks???

 

[bizmitchel]

Todays progress. Please excuse the mess

Looks Great Fran!!!!!! I bet your all excited!!!!!!

 

[Bovinia]

Just curious, Does the M1A1 tank break down with some liquids like poly. tanks???

Yes Biz, they can. The M1A1 is polycarb and we have had cracking, etching issues with mainly the hot type cinnamons.

 

[FranC]

Thanks everyone. Yes I am excited to finally have enough counter and cabinet space. The cabinets were secured today so I started putting stuff in them. Still lots to go.There's stuff everywhere. This half of the kitchen actually has a few more cabinets to go and then we'll get to the other side.

Cruising the Hyundai forums I found info and a pic of the AC tensioner bolt on the back of the pulley for my '03 bucket. Think I'll slide under there tomorrow and see if it looks like it can be tightened up. Damned if I'm gonna pay $200 if it doesn't need to be replaced. And at least I'll know what's being replaced if I can't tighten it. Bet your bottom dollar I'll be looking at it afterwards if I have to take it to the shop!

 

[FranC]

Good luck with that Bov!!

 

[Bovinia]

What a shame I didn't know to look for it when they had my car up on the rack when I had the new tires and front end aligned! Would have been a lot easier to look at, I'm betting that the belt is just stretched and needs replacing tho. My luck is not good enough to just be able to tighten a bolt lol

 

[FranC]

You never know........

Check to make sure the bearings aren't bad. Go to Repair Help | AutoZone.com and it will have step by step on doing it and component location.

I brushed the subject of divorce up against MIL today to see what her reaction would be. Interestingly enough, it may not be a loss of a roof over my head. Have to wait until we see what happens on April 30th court date, but if he gets time, I'll start getting my ducks in a row. She is going to let him come back here if/when he gets released tho
