Sunny 84 degrees and a nice breeze life is good.

Packing is so much fun......... NOT!!

We are living in our 20th home since we married. That's a lot of packing and moving. We got more skilled at it over the years, but I can truthfully say that at no time has it gotten one bit easier.

What's worse is I'm packing stuff we rarely use or haven't used since we got down here....... So why am I packing it.........? Oh yeah, the wife.......

I think there are probably one or two boxes out in the garage that we packed when we moved out of our very first rented home and that have never been opened since.

I think you can safely say that were those two boxes to disappear, you would never notice, then...

Probably, but you never know when there is a priceless irreplaceable photo or something in them. So we don't dare throw anything away without looking first. Wouldn't you like to be able to look through those boxes you left with your mom?

Can't tell because of the angle but looks like at least a 10 pt?

The worst part is 2/3ds of our stuff is in storage and a quarter of what we have here is still in boxes. Granted we never "filled" this 1100 sqft house as we really had no intention of staying anyway, but dayam!!
The wife keeps saying we need a bigger place so she can go through all of her stored stuff to see what she has and get rid of some of it...... I've heard that song and dance before.......

You realize that if you acquiesce to her demands, then she will buy more stuff.... and you will still have boxes, right?

Cuz men are hunters, women are gatherers.

You're so right. When we were moving to New Hampshire from Alabama, my husband had a pile on the edge of the sidewalk of stuff that he was throwing away.....I was going out there and bringing stuff back.

'Tis the season...

Good morning coffee shoppers, and happy Monday to all of you. I made a promise to myself a long time ago that when I hit a round 10thousander posting, I would post in the CS. I did it at 10,000 posts and I am now doing it right now, at 20,000.

Friday was a national holiday in Germany. The 3rd of October is "Tag der Deutschen Einheit" (The day of German Unity) which we would call "Reunification Day", commemorating the rejoining of the former BRD (West Germany) and the former DDR (East Germany) into a unified BRD. In this case, it meant an extended weekend and in the province of North-Rhein Westfalia, Fall break has also begun for schoolchildren. Germany, per national law, does a staggered schedule of Fall, Spring and Summer breaks for schoolchildren (and UNI students) so that no two Bundesländer (provinces) that share a border with each other will have vacation in the same week, just alleviating traffic jams on the German Highways. The Union for the German national train system is planning strategic strikes, but decided at the last minute to not strike during any of the Fall breaks.

Enjoy your Monday coffee.

Anyone who thanks this posting gets 20,000 reputation points from me, really!!!!

Hey Monday! I want my poster friends back. Where did you hide them?

 

[JakeStarkey]

beautiful day here in the city and will be sunny all the way into the weekend, 70 to 75, 50 at nights

Good morning, everyone. In celebration of the first Sunday after Yom Kippur I am making a big old cappucino for myself today. Yum.

Okay....I remember you saying you were giving up coffee.....I've been drinking in excess just to make up for your lack and now you say you're going to have a cappucino?

I enjoy the black brew once or twice a week.

I guess you're getting your caffeine all at one time for the whole week?

I cook up a pretty large espresso with some cinnamon and a pinch of ginger.

I'm practically on a drip. Minimum 2 cups before work and 4 to 6 more at the bar.

Well, it was a good run. I played Texas Hold em at a private game last night. I split the pot in the first tournament and failed miserably in the 2nd. Thus endeth my streak of 13 straight tournaments finishing in the money. I can't complain. I profited a bit over $500 in 15 days.

78 here at 10:35 sunny with another day of the bluest skies you've ever seen. It was down to 52 at 6 AM, but I was still snuggled up with Momma and the dogs.

I guess it's Monday again. That means set up the bar at 1PM for opening at 2, poker at 6 til 11 or 12, clean up that for another hour and head home at about 1:15. In the words of the profit Toby Keith, Mm mm mm, I Love This Bar.

Good morning all. It is Monday, but that's okay. Hombre is off to the doctor for a routine post-surgery checkup. And I have good intentions of getting several small tasks done today depending on Procrastinator Presidential duties and all. Hoping for a good day for everybody.

Monday, Monday... Nice day outside. Mrs. BBD has gone to the drug store in Oregon to get a prescription filled and to pick me up some fresh D batteries so I can put my other trail cam out. Kind of a slow day here with not much going on. Foxy was right. The deer in the picture I posted was a 10 pointer. On other pictures of him it is more evident. He's a nice one. There are quite a few really nice bucks lurking around the farm here and I hope they are still around come shot gun season next month. Maybe my buddy, the Vet, will get one of them during bow season. I hope so. I'd like to see them up close. Don't have much to say today so I will just wish everybody a good day and hope it turns out to be a good week for everybody. Guess I shall go pour myself another cup of coffee!

Sounds good.

Thanks for mentioning batteries, BBD, as I need to put those on the list for my next grocery shopping trip. I have to store up on batteries for flashlights, CD player and etc., for the upcoming weather and possible power loss. Need B's and C's and some double A's. I like to be prepared.
