USMB Coffee Shop IV

[Lumpy 1]

 

[Foxfyre]

In the last hour or so we have a good burst of snow move though, the light dusting just over an hour ago suddenly became 2 to 2 1/2 inches. The drive and walkways are clear.... for now, I'll see if we get any more but for now it's coming down very light, almost imperceptibly.

All we had today were gale force winds that pretty well shredded all the color off the trees. No snow and none predicted. But chilly the next couple of days.

 

[Foxfyre]

Lumpy!!!! Good to see you. It has been awhile. The last time you stayed away this long you had heart surgery. Hope this time you were doing something more fun.

 

[Foxfyre]

Good night darlinks. I love you guys.

Sheila’s friend Shirley,

Sherry’s Mom,
Hombre,

Becki and Becki’s hubby,
Sheila and son Andrew,
Noomi’s Auntie Marj and Nana,
Sheila's sore foot post surgery healing,
Complete healing for Mrs. Ringel and the Ringels in difficult transition,
Ollie and Mrs. O for a complete recovery,
Tresha and hubby,
Mr. H and his friend,
strollingbones & hubby,
GW's daughter's friend Sachenda,
All of us and those we care about who are looking for work,
Safe travels for those traveling,
All who are dealing with colds and flu,
And all others we love and hold in concern.

And the light is on awaiting the return of Oddball, Sunshine, Jughead, Sheila, and Becki and all the others who have been MIA lately. We hope everyone is okay.

P.S. Sometimes in the editing of the vigil list or when I have switched computers, somebody gets dropped that is supposed to be on it. This will always be inadvertent and if ya'll would call it to my attention, it would be much appreciated.​

Thanks Lady Foxfyre, we moved up to Oregon a while back to be with our grown children and their families, they have been keeping us busy. We are also looking for a home to buy and we gave away a lot of furniture in the move, looking for new and used stuff to fill the house rental. Hugs to you Darlin..

Morning, folks. Woke up at 0200 and couldn't get back to sleep again... Looks like I get to have all the coffee I want today!

 

[JakeStarkey]

Good morning all. We will have some snow squalls this morning, but not much. Great weekend. Looking forward to seeing more of lumpy1. Have a good day you all.

Anybody seen Mockingjay-1 yet. We will go tomorrow night.

Because I'm a hundred miles away from lake access to really big lakes.

On Saturday afternoon I took a huge pile of rotting timber to the local refuse centre that Jenna's been nagging me over. Before I collapsed the back seats in the car I remembered that my air rifle was in the boot/trunk, but instead of taking it indoors I slid it between the front seats and the collapsed seats in the back. I keep it in the car because I still shoot small game if I've got time after work in the summer months. Anyway, I got rid of the timber and began driving back. On the road out I spotted a load of pheasants dawdling about on the wasteground adjacent to the lane you take to exit the refuse centre. I stopped the car and looked around to make sure no-one was around, which there weren't, reached back for the pellet gun, opened the door and broke it over my knee to load it and took aim. I shot three pheasants in quick succession and took them home to hang in our new shed (the timber was from the one I tore down to make way for the new one, which cost an effing fortune!). We ate one last night and it was delicious. Strangely, I've never really been a big fan of pheasant because they're often quite dry and have a lot of small bones, but the one I shared with Lady Swagger yesterday evening was surprisingly succulant. I honestly don't wish to seem like I'm bragging about being quite well-off, in spite earning every penny, but some men of equal means consider it beneath them to harvest meat anywhere else besides the supermarket, but I don't because my father taught me that a man should be able to hunt and damn anyone who disagrees. I could skin a rabbit with a penknife by the time I was five-years-old.

It's pouring here in New England this morning. It's very warm though, so it's not so bad.

Well, I meant wake up as in not feeling like a zombie all day.

Lol...whats the penalty for road hunting, out of season...was something of a sport when I was young but I don't hunt anymore..

Sun not quite in sight yet above Parleys yet. Blended smudged gun blue resting on the mountains up then into a grey thin clouded sky. Supposed to get snow in a while.

 

[Montrovant]

It's not cold here like it has been, but we did have tornado warnings yesterday afternoon. They kept annoying me while I watched football.
