My deepest apologies to the forum for failing my job yesterday. Join me now for a belated celebration of National Buggs Bunny Day.
For an old friend who is no longer here

Just got back from the wilds of Vassar where I picked up some auction goodies. The Old Hen wanted to hit a couple of antique stores to get some stuff for yet another wifey type project. The first one had some grandfather clocks to die for with a price to match (10K), but they had one I fell in love with for $600. If I only could figure out a place to put it.....
Headed home only to find the main drag east & west blocked by a firetruck, police car, and a meat wagon. Didn't see what the fuss over and was glad for that fact. The 20MPH winds made driving the van lots o' fun. Note: If you plan on quitting your job and going into the storm chaser profession, don't buy a Ford Transit Connect unless you want to be the main character in your tornado video.

Forgot to add that the little BBQ wagon that we'd been waiting for to open was there. They do a pulled pork sandwich proud.
He loves it. I bought a dry herb vape pen. I like it you get higher faster. Plus it is very smooth

Snuck out and edged the driveway and sidewalk for the first time this year. Man, that sucker's long! With my bought used Craftsman gas walk behind edger, I didn't even work up a sweat 'til I got out the push broom. For a hundred bucks, that edger sure makes my life easier. Started on the first pull, too.
Yep, one of the most obese countries in the world!
42.4% of the population.... pretty sad imo.

Broke down and turned the CA off and the boiler back on. House was 66 degrees yesterday but the Old Hen said it was fine. Got up this morning and it was 65. The weatherman said it was supposed to get colder. I waited 'til she headed for town and turned it on. I put it on 69 which was enough to take the chill off.
Life in Michigan.

It struggled its way up to 67 outside. Shirt sleeve weather for me. You'd probably be wearing a sweater.
Only in Jan. It is funny how 67 feels different in May than it does in Jan and it is the same temps? I guess I am psycho, when it cones to weather. I remember in Dec and Jan grilling and it was like 67 I had jacket and a sweater. I go outside in the am now it’s 60 and Im not freezing either. Weird but true.

Got 2.5 hours into the back field so far. Wussed out and came in for a water break. It's amazing to see how much a fat boy leaks when it's 78 degrees and full sun out. Took my shirt off after an hour. Might not have been the best plan. Old Hen says my back looks like a boiled lobster.
