And another summer bites the dust. What was it?? 6 weeks long. Some stuff didnt get done and some did. Too late now to worry about it. Neighbor came with his mower vacuum and got the pine needles off my lower driveway. I had the upper raked.
And then wind and those hated two oak trees decided to do what the Catalpa did and give me a carpet of leaves. ARGH! I mentioned it to him and he said he noticed. Uh...AND?
I got the end of my dogtrot to the barn fixed. Got the 20x30 hunk of old billboard tarp out of the barn and boarder and I wrestled it up on this end. Then took plastic piece on barn end. Done. NOT. Hello wind so we had to put barn plastic up again. Not I have a baling string over to hold it.
The joys of farms. Peat and Repeat. Tied the mule up in the spot I use, dumped corn on floor and sawed off his curled hoof. Nice part of him being 33. He puts up with it now. Mostly. Only 3 more to go. I said to him you HAD to inherit your fathers hooves..the jackass. No..he was a male donkey. I left a message for the farrier last summer. He never answered. Story of my life..once with the mule and they avoid me like the plague. So I do the best I can. An old woman killing herself on an old mule.
Started the forced air outside wood furnace finally and gave up on fireplace. Now it will run til April. I fill at 11 or midnight. Boarder does at 5 am. I do at 11 am. And 4 pm. And maybe at 8pm. I feel like that old ad..I MADE the donuts!
The last 4 kittens are taming some so maybe can find them homes. The one I am keeping..Pippersqueek is getting smart. Came up from barn and she was in loggia. I said what are you doing on this side of the house. Cats live by wood furnace in winter. I squatted down to do something and she climbed to my shoulder. Sat there all the way into the house. Jumped down and went back to eat the food she had not finished earlier.
I went to put cat chow out..BLASTED %^**(%^#$&& possum! Back in for revolver and gone! I heard meowing. Opened kitchen door, Pipper walked right out, over to step door..I opened and off she went. My aren't you getting big and smart little one.
So carried live trap over by woodshed area and set. I will put an apple in tonight. Cats dont eat. Told boarder check and leave kitten out. Big cats know to stay out. lol.
Went to start truck to put in its carport and of course, rrrr, rrrrr, r r r. Shoot! So put trickle charger on tomorrow. Got plastic up on back of woodshed to block wind. Found out I had used the piece I wanted. So cut new. Got nailed to 1by. Came in for drill...why is it wet and dirty on edge?
DANG NANG tom cats!! Geeze you cant wait!? Put in screws. Found out I did it backwards. Take OUT screws. It is up and pulled up til they bring last wood up.
Not much to do anymore. So back onto the 8 craft projects I have going at the same time. And filling wood..filling wood...fillin......

The other day I took a short trip into town to buy some things....some of those things were not things I would typically buy on a daily or weekly basis....such as clothes and a hunting rifle.

The whole of this story really does not mean much, if a person made a ton of stops. But, I only made a limited amount of stops and the frequency of interesting events is what makes the overall experience, interesting.

I made a total of 5 stops.

2 stops went fine....even though one of the two stops didn't have a whole lot of clothes that I liked...but that is okay, I am somewhat fussy.

But the other 3 stops were interesting....making it from a mathematical stand point, 60% of my stops were unique to what I had expected.

The first of those three was at a sporting goods store. I decided I wanted to buy a new hunting rifle that day. Honestly, I had expected not to find any guns whatsoever...but, I found the opposite. Well, I guess technically my expectations were met because there were no hunting rifles....however, what surprised me is that their gun cabinets were loaded with assault style weapons. I thought to myself, if somebody wanted to prepare for WWIII, here they go. The store was loaded with those. Odd I thought, why is it they are trying to remove those style guns from the public....but yet you could buy a truck load of them if you wanted....and the hunting rifles that are deemed okay, by many, not available.

The next unusual thing that I encountered was at Walmart. I think I had three items, so I went through the self checkout. I am trying to stick my $100 bill into their machine but it would not take it. I tried a couple more times until the store clerk came up and said that it does not accept cash. Huh? Is not cash king?

On my way out of town, we decided to bypass the Chinese restaurant and get some fast food. The place was Hardees. They have great chicken sandwiches there. Well, I should say.....they used to. I ordered my hand breaded chicken sandwich and I found it very difficult to find the chicken within it. I am not exaggerating here....the chicken in the bun was about 1/3rd the size of the bun. It is a good thing that bread is filling....otherwise I would have went hungry after eating.

So there you have it....my 21st century trip into town.

happy weekend all

So, after years of searching for dating sites catering to older men, somehow I'm on lists now to receive emails for benefits for Seniors.

Yo! The yoUniverse got jokes. I mean, dayum if only I could take advantage of these deals they are emailing me. Dis shit ain't right, ha ha ha h. However, I can't help but laugh

Went to my paddling waters last Sunday and on the road there everything was fine for the first 60 km. Then the brakes stopped to answer to my attempts to engage them. Experienced fear of good for the third time in my life, but made it to the destination, stomach full of butterflies. Made it back home after paddling as well.

Saw no seal.

But have surprised a swain family – two adults and two chickens, now in their swainy teens – coming with the elements from behind an island. Was observing them since the late of July, when I saw them for the first time, the chickens newly hutched then. A very distinguished family, as one of the chickens was white from the beginning, while the usual dress is grey. Took a few pictures.

The car is left for repairs, I’m stranded at home… Ah well, it’s too windy anyway.

My eye was very sore and swollen this morning when I woke up. It all started yesterday when I called at McDonalds for a bite to eat and a cup of coffee. I ordered a bacon and egg McMuffin, despite my gut feeling to have nothing to do with anything bearing such a stupid name. When my order was brought to the counter, it arrived along with someone else’s order, and the girl shouted out, “bacon and egg muffin”, immediately followed by, “sausage and egg muffin”. I picked up my order and left the restaurant, but on the way to my car I took the muffin out of the bag and looked inside, as I always do before I eat anything from McDonald’s. It was a sausage and egg muffin, and I quickly realised that I must have picked up the wrong bag. I looked around and saw that the woman whose order had arrived with mine was also walking to her car, so I ran towards her shouting, “excuse me”. She stopped and turned towards me, and when I got to where she was standing, I asked to see her muffin, and that was when I sustained the injury to my eye.

I have heard tell of a railway tunnel that few men have set eyes upon since it was abandoned many years ago. Many have sought it, and many out of that many have never returned. And few of the few who have returned claim to have found it. And it is for this reason I am able to say that few men have set eyes on that tunnel. We cannot know, of course, how many of the many who sought to find the tunnel and never returned did find the tunnel, but it is thought to be very few. I mean to find that tunnel and be one of the few of the few who have found it and returned. Although those few won’t be quite so few once I become one of them.

The Tunnel is said to lie 15 miles or so northwest of here, as the crow flies, but I will be cycling. I ride next Friday morning, weather permitting. Friday is my earliest window of opportunity, as I do my weekly shopping on Thursday and will have to wait until then before I am able to provision my journey. I always take a packed lunch when I go out and I don’t want to have to make an extra trip to the shops, so it has to be after Thursday. That’s why Friday is my earliest Window of opportunity.

I anticipate many trials on my quest, and quite a few challenges, so I expect to be out all morning and possibly into the afternoon. That’s why it is important I take a packed lunch, and why I must wait until after Thursday before I go. I will be logging in here early on Friday morning, as I know many of my supporters, or a good few of them, will want to see me off.

I've always preferred to navigate life alone. But it's only recently I've really acknowledged and embraced my loner ways. Add this new found appreciation for who I am to my interest in story telling, I've decided to try document my life twice a month on YouTube - the film industry won't be knocking down my door any time soon it fair to say.

Welcome to my simple life.

Season's greetings, everybody.

It's that time of year again when turmoil and malice reigns throughout the land. Have fun everyone, and don't forget to leave a bucket of water by your bedroom window for when those little brats come a-trickin'-n'-a-treatin'.
