Shit always happens when we leave town.

      We just got back from a week at the lake . It was fun and the warm weather  was a nice break for my feet and hands . Now I wasn't able to stay the whole time as Friday my oldest daughter called from emergency room where they were admitting her for Gall Bladder removal. It was severely infected and clogged so it had to come out. Even at 31 she wanted her daddy to be there when she had it done ;) . Every thing went fine and she went home Monday and went in to work today to do her and her Bosses paper work for end of the month. She did learn why I make fun of those DOC IN A BOX clinics they sent her home with Pepcid for heartburn.

    I planed on going back to the lake Sunday Morning early. At 8 I get a call from Jason who rents our mobile home that a tree has fallen on it.

    I put this roof on 5 years ago  it saved the old mobile home from being crushed . I got 4 busted rafters to fix and some siding to straighten . On the inside it shoved a 1 ft wide 3 ft long spot in the wall and  floor down 3 inches . in the picture I had already cut the tree  and come a longed  it off the M.H.  The tree was 16" across and solid but dead, it fell because the roots had rotted away. I did luck up in NO LEAKS and it has rained 2 times since.

      Finally  make it back to the lake about 3 pm Sunday afternoon. My wife wasn't bored while I was gone her sister got there as I left Friday and her daughter and best friend came up Saturday. so I missed 4 drunk females . 

     We stayed till yesterday then came back to the real world. I have already raised that wall with a screw jack but the floor didn't budge took the awning the rest of the way off the front of the M.H. My neck and gut is killing me now. The rafters are going to have to wait . I have over done it and still have more to get done.

My wife asked me what kinda truck i wanted

   # 1 is my favorite.  Tougher than any built in the last 50 years.

Wal Mart,s New in store pick Up

        In the last few months Wally world has been advertising its new pickup service. Our store has a whole area up front set up for it. They even have a dozen + parking places set aside for order pick up only. The pick up area looks like lockers and a kiosk where you enter your order# . 

     Last week me and the wife went to wally world for a few items.

 the main one was southern biscuit mix formula L .My wife and me love them they were out in fact they didn't even have a shelf tag for it anymore.

           Panic time when we got home I got on line and our store had it listed  Out of stock . Ok I log in on wal mart it showed  it available for Pick up. I ordered 4 at 7 pm Last night. At 8 this morning I get an alert on my phone my order was ready to pick up.

     Around 11 we stopped on the way to another store for stuff. We parked  up front punched our code at the kiosk a locker popped open there was our biscuit mix. In done under 3 minutes but I wanted some deli bread and I checked where the mix should be stocked none anywhere . Once home still shows as Out of stock online at that store.

   

     For stuff that is hit or miss being in stock this is the way to go !! I have never been a shop on line type but I liked this in fact I ordered some # 10 cans from Augason Farms  hash browns and dehydrated veggie soup mix. Before this I had to pay shipping. In store is free and no line. My store has never carried Augason farms  pickup date for my order is Tuesday

Happy Valintine's Day

       My  Wife has had a ruff year taking care of and putting up with me and my illness . I use this for a screen picture this time of year I stole it from Phil's blog many years ago.

     

    I tell my wife in my mind she looks as good as this pic to me. She says she loves my lying ass but I need my eyes checked and to talk to a shrink . I know what she thinks of when she imagines me .

     I guess it could be worst. I still love her !!!!

Government promises aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

      The First Circuit Court affirmed last week without a doubt that government promises aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. In a ruling that a state can change its retirement payout regardless of past promises.
