OSUT#247 Independence Day and Summer Picnics

[ancjr]

I know someone who paid 80 for a brand new Ford 150 with all the bells and whistles. i am so old, that was the price for a really nice house

House I paid 84.5 for in 2015 is worth 200 now.

Trying to get Miss Daisy to gain about 20lb. Hard to do with someone that only wants to eat about 600 calories a day....

I have got that 20 I would be happy to give away

I have got that 20 I would be happy to give away

Got that covered and then some, and can save on shipping besides.

House I paid 84.5 for in 2015 is worth 200 now.

And it's also obvious that the $8.45 worth of gas in 2015 costs $20 now.

Susan's phone wasn't charging, so she had me go to Batteries Plus for a new one. The kid working there took a look at it and found a super tiny (almost invisible to my eyes) piece of copper wire in the charging port. He got that out and it started charging with no problem. One of her cords was pretty janky so I think it probably broke off of it. I got her a new charging cord. Lots cheaper than a new battery.

Looks like I'm on my own for lunch. Susan took both granddaughters to the youngest's karate lesson.

I've only been to battery plus one time. Guy was hiding in the corner, wearing a mask and gloves.

"What you want!?!"
"This calculator needs a battery"
[Cautiously looks at calculator with gloved hand, presses butons] "Not battery problem! Calculator problem! Sorry!"

I'm pretty sure I heard the sound of lysol being sprayed as I went out the door.

This guy was really helpful. Basically talked me out of getting a battery. He didn't even try to sell the cord. That was my idea.

Back from the grocery.
with this drizzle looks like my garden will continue growing weeds a bit longer. I was hoping to get a couple hours in today. It’s getting to be embarrassing out there.

And Waylon is bitching now that he knows I am home

Had to help take a hood off of the '85 to use on the '84...the '85 isn't going to be fixed to near perfection...or so I'm told, and it had the best hood of three we have to pick from.

I've ordered from batteries plus online. Not sure if we have a store around here other than maybe South Bend or Merrillville...45 minutes either way.

Kids are now coming sooner. Mommy got called in to work a couple hours earlier. One girl called off the other day because she was too drunk to go to work...at 8 a.m. Daughter said she couldn't switch shifts with her because she had plans in the evening for the baby contest. I guess that was not an excused absence.

tried Protein shakes/smoothies? They're pretty easy to make at home too

Up from my nap and it's gotten sunny. Heating up too.

Home from errands. Did not get any ribs. They only had baby backs and I wanted St. Louis .

I prefer the spare ribs also, but I'm really not that picky. I just love ribs

Home from taking my Mother grocery shopping. Every day the Lord gives me to do that is a blessing. Feels like it's going to nap outside. Spotted dog is giving me the look it's nap time.
