Lannie said she can't even find the beans. I hope that is because all the squished weeds (mostly mallow) are laid over them.
Prolly eating mushrooms and tripping out on the lightning show.Lannie said she can't even find the beans. I hope that is because all the squished weeds (mostly mallow) are laid over them.
The only thing that truly pisses me off about this is that there was absolutely no severe weather in the forecast. We might be backward bumpkins in South Dakota, but Jeezus fucfking H. Christ on a hobby horse, we do have Doppler RADAR. Where were the god damn weather fucks? Screwing under the desk all night?
Hard to believe. Well, if you want a parcel of land in another country, let me know.Lannie said she can't even find the beans. I hope that is because all the squished weeds (mostly mallow) are laid over them.

Live like a king...!
Thunder storms and down pours all day here today. Again!Lannie said she can't even find the beans. I hope that is because all the squished weeds (mostly mallow) are laid over them.

I can take that....when it's upwards of 110, that's just ridiculous.
Yes, I do, but I doubt they'd let us bring all of Lannie's critters. And, while I know the good old USofA would continue to pay my SS checks if I moved there, they do not have a VA hospital, which, sadly, I use all too often lately.
Oddly enough, I doubt they even had a light show in Rapid City (where the weather idiots hang out). At bedtime, I do a final walk-around, both inside and outside. I could see lightning about 40 miles north of us, but the weather was moving west-to-east, so that stuff wouldn't have come over us. The sky was clear overhead (lots of stars) and there were no visible clouds west or even south (where RC is in relation to us). So this stuff had to have come from eastern Wyoming and would have been clearly visible on the RADAR, but no warning was put out. Today, of course, they are forecasting severe thunderstorms for Spearfish, Sturgis and Rapid City for tomorrow night, but nothing for up here. We shall see. I think I'll batten down the hatches just in case.
Nite, Dale
That seems to be the case here too. With the exception of 8-10 "cities," no one gives a rat's ass about what happens in this whole state. Hey, it's just a bunch of cows, or sheep, or corn... and who cares that 100,000 cows were killed by an early blizzard (6 years ago) that the weather guessers gave absolutely no warning for. Oh, they had to know it was coming...
Hope the weather guessers were wrong, regarding those strong storms AGAIN tonight....!Well, as of this morning, we have a "severe thunderstorm" advisory for here, too. For tonight, I mean. So yeah, guess we'll batten down the hatches. AGAIN.
The GOOD news is that I've been able to lay eyes on all the kittens now. Yesterday morning, I only saw two of the five mobile kittens. There are still the six little ones tucked into their nest in the boxes in the garage, but the five older ones have been roaming the property with their parents, and lately had been spending a lot of time out by the big brush pile. The grass is tall around there, and there are a lot of big burdocks back there with nice shady leaves, and they were all out in that general area the night before last when the storm pounded us. I'm sure they all made a mad dash for the garage when the hail started, but with hail as big as those kittens' heads, well... I was worried. But they either found cover out there, or they dodged the hail well enough to make it to the garage, so all is well in Kittenland this morning.
There are small branch ends and leaves absolutely EVERYWHERE outside that the hail knocked off the trees and shrubs. Luckily, we have our screens up on the windows, or we might have had some broken windows. It just bounced off the screens. The tops of most of my taller veggies got destroyed, and some of them are laid over, but I only saw a few definite fatalities. It looks bad, but I think most everything will recover after a week or so. All that tall mallow (Rich often calls it mullein, but he means mallow) and the bindweed fell over everything, however, so even the plants that I'd cleared around appear to be buried in "noodles." There was a bunch of tall stuff, including flixweed, growing around the bean bed, so it's completely disappeared under a pile of noodles... It's going to be a mess to clean up. I left it all alone yesterday to see if some of it would stand back up, but I'm sure not all of it will, it's so tangled up, so there's some work ahead of us, that's for sure.
It was pretty nice all day (overcast stratus this morning, burning off by noon, isolated cumulus by afternoon...). Did lots of feed moving, then some preventive maintenance on the mower, then mowed some lawn. I just came in from outside and there is ONE HUGE thunderbumper just NW of us, the anvil (cap cloud) covering 3/4 of the whole sky and distant lightning visible. It should not be coming at us, but I will keep an eye on it periodically.
How's the ole body today?.....hopefully feels better than yesterday, after the bent over weeding gig.
Actually, yesterday was the monthly shopping. The weeding was the day before that. I am still very tired from both, but that never stops me. I remember, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, a thing called a vacation. I wonder what that's like...
After you relocate to EC permanently, do you plan on continuing this inspecting business (at least periodically, given you are not selling your other businesses - yet)? Seems like a good income source...
Business will go on as usual, I have folks working for me...it's just been so damn busy lately, I hate leaving money on the table telling people I can't be there. So here I am.....
I can certainly understand that.Business will go on as usual, I have folks working for me...it's just been so damn busy lately, I hate leaving money on the table telling people I can't be there. So here I am.....
Just the kind of place I do my damnedest to stay away from. I don't mind going to town once a month for shopping, but I refuse to live in the midst of such craziness. Even the shopping trips rattle my brain all day, but I recover after a few days. If I had to live there, I'd go totally insane. (did it - Porkland, Orygun - never again - and have driven through Boston, NYC, Philly, Trenton, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Knoxville, Louisville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Des Moines, Houston, San Antonio, Phoenix, Albuquerque, LA, San Francisco, Denver, Seattle, Cheyenne, Helena, Honolulu, etc., etc., ad nauseum -- but never stayed more than one day)
I can handle it, as long as the money keeps flowing.....otherwise I'd be outta here in a NY minute.
I might be able to force myself to work in the city (with hours such as you describe), but I'd have to live even farther out than the suburbs (suburbia sucks as much as downtown - obnoxious neighbors and all). Even at the age I am now, I think I could still enjoy an office job, as long as it was mentally challenging. I hate boring work.
My work is somewhat challenging. I have to note immediate repairs costs, and 1-5 year projected repair costs in every report. Every building is different, with different components and systems, never a dull moment in this business.
As long as it don't require trigonometry or advanced calculus. Right?
yes, I am algebraically inclined....
Those are the funnest maths...
I did good at advanced algebra, but that's about it. Had a bad trigonometry teacher, and needed to pass that for calculus.
Hey, Crom. Nice to see ya here at night.
I love jobs that require lots of math. I just love math.
What the hell are you doing out of bed...!!!
I used to chat with a guy with Asperger's. He was like a rain man of football.
