YES, someone, here on INGO, is FIXING a pirate ship .....

I am sure it will have to be "tested" sometime .....

yeah, **** that boat.....




got it fixed but it beat the crap out of me. bruised shoulder, multiple holes in my fingers from the cable, knees are hurting but I didn't hit my head. 6:30am to 4:15 to do it, no lunch. I am beat.

Pence is here for the weekend. Not at the school but in Culver. State police helos buzzing the area, dive teams on standby, the works. I was hoping he was going on the pirate ship ride tomorrow.

Need food, be back late if I don't fall asleep.

Pence is here for the weekend. Not at the school but in Culver. State police helos buzzing the area, dive teams on standby, the works. I was hoping he was going on the pirate ship ride tomorrow.

He flew over my house today. I saw the two planes flying together and my first thought was that smaller plane is escorting that jet...then I heard he was flying in and knew it was him. I should have waved. At least I had the grass mowed before he went over so the yard looked good.

Not very busy in here tonight.

Finally sitting down....but need to get up and shower before I crochet. Blanket I am doing is mostly white and I am dirty from working all day.

I got the yard mowed. Push mower would NOT run so had to do it all with the rider. I was surprised I managed to get around all of the flower beds/trees with the bigger mower, but I made it work! Hubby says the carb was plugged so he now believes I did not break the mower. I've been using that $5 mower for at least 15 years so I guess it's about time he finally has to do something besides add gas and oil and change the spark plug. He says we should order an air filter. That's probably gonna cost more than we paid for the mower.

House is vacuumed and mostly dusted. Bathrooms are all clean. Rugs washed. Cat blankets washed and some put away since Lilly is now the only cat that comes in and that's just at night.

Have to finish putting together the tangy cherry jello dish for tomorrow. Corn relish is made and marinating. Turkey is thawed and ready to go on the rotisserie in the morning.

I'm done...and I smashed my ****ing finger between a log and a slab of rock...probably gonna lose the nail.

Ouch. Hope it stays attached.

It is turning some pretty shades of purple so I'm not sure if it will.

The yard looks good...flowers blooming all over. We had homegrown cucumbers and tomatoes with supper....that was NICE!

So it was worth it?

Cheese burgers off the grill.
I got some Salt Water Taffy in the mail yesterday from a good friend down in Daytona beach. This stuff is the real deal.
Yes, I had a few pieces. Keep the dang cookies I gots me some Taffy.....

Cucumbers and Maters already..........

It was. They bought me a cordless dremel too, but they don't know it yet. It came in real handy too.

 

[chezuki]

Should only look better from here...

 

[mom45]

I think so. Nothing beats fresh tomatoes!

I bought plants this year instead of starting the cucumbers from seed and had them in Mother's day weekend. I have some baby zucchini coming on as well. The tomatoes are off of my patio plants. I picked three yesterday and noticed I have another about ready. I'll have to pick it tomorrow I think. I sure miss my tomatoes when I can't just go out and pick them!

 

[mom45]

Hmmm....will that toilet flush where it is? That could be problematic!

State police helo was buzzing the lake and dumbass me (or smartass) waved at them.......with a drill in my hand. At least I had the "safety" on and my finger off the trigger.

I so suck at getting our garden prepped and ready. Always late.
