Morning Auntie
Cold miserable rainy day here with a high of 49*F.
Yeah! I actually got 7hrs of sleep......solid sleep. Only problem is I don't know why! I didn't do anything different really. I fixed a cup of canna coffee, but only drank a third of it before rolling over. Guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I was a little one when my GrandMa used that phrase when she was speaking to me about her old lady friend. GrandMa sent me to this friend with a tray of food. She had just got back from the hospital and it was difficult for her to cook. Evidently her friend was a little critical of GrandMa's plate of food.:doh::rofl: It was frigging delicious!
The phrase didn't make sense to me at all! LOL! She explained that when buying a horse, one of the areas you look at is the condition of the horse's teeth. She said people shouldn't be critical of gifts. That made sense to my little 6yr old head. I told her, "I guess that's like Jimmy griping about the tail of the kite I gave him."
Life was so much more simple then!:hump: And "Old Lady" relationships can be quite amusing!:eyebrows::rofl::rofl:
Unrelated but also somewhat related, #3 was telling us about some stuff going on in her friend group at school last night and hubby looked at me and asked "is this when it starts? Second grade? I thought it would be all magic and rainbows and unicorns for at least a few more years, but girl drama starts at 7?!"

I feel for you! I hear the same stupidity from my Son.
 
Good morfnoevight all you humpday stoners!

Oh...Instant heat......almost 19C......just about warm enough to take the onesie off for a pee..... :crying: ...gawd...I Hate winter.....:biggrin:
The blazing hot summers are the most uncomfortable here. You can only take off so much clothing before passerbys start scratching their eyes out :yoinks:


I'm gonna make a cathouse for the outside cats. They MAY use it, but Ill bet they will hole up under the house.:shrug:

We had to banish two of our male cats from inside when they started spraying the furniture. They were both fixed but I think the competition between them started the behavior. I built an outdoor condo with separate rooms for each cat with an entrance on opposite sides. I put a pet bed heater in it and they lived out theirs days quite happy with the arrangement.
 
Sad day today. I was expecting to have to face this Sat or Sunday. :eek1:
A dear companion of mine for 17 yrs left me forever today. A faithful friend that I used to travel all over the country with. We went to many racetracks all over the nation.
We had a blast together over the years! Lots of very good memories I'll have to look back on when things get rough.

Yeah, I teared up this morning with the phone call. Today was the day. We hadn't been together much in the last 5 years, although my friend was not far away. I kinda feel bad about that, but they had let me down. I could have solved it with a good bit of cash, but that just wasn't to be. Things happened and plans changed. I guess that's part of life.

I've known this was coming for a bit of time. I guess it was for the best that it is happening now, instead of it dragging out for a long time. No one would have really like that.

Yep! Sad day for sure. I'll be ok. I'll always have the memories! Just thinking about the long drives to all the different tracks and how quickly we seemed to get to the track and how long and slow the ride seemed to be going back home...........no matter if we won or not. I considered it was a win for both and they did benefit when I won.

I'm sorry about posting this! It's just a little rough losing a companion of that many years. I just hope they will be in a better place and no longer neglected.








































I told the guy everything that was broke with her and that was just one item. The EGR cooler developed a weeping leak. I might have got the EGT temps a little high too often over the years, but it's a crappy design on the Ford version of the International 6.0 diesel engine! It's an involved repair, but not super bad............just too difficult for me by myself. So she sat. At least I sold it to someone that will use her to support his family as a work truck and that makes me very happy.:joy:

Good Bye Big Red! You were the best truck I've ever owned! Even better that my first truck............78 F-150 Lariat I ordered with a 460. That was a fast truck after I 'played' with it as my Mom used to put it.

I'm sorry if you were misled to believe something really bad happened. It was .not my intention to screw with anyone here......................fingers crossed behind my back.:cools:
