My Uncle Dick told me to grab the grease gun and go out and lucubrate his old Chevy.

It rained before dawn, but stopped in an hour-so off to work-we were finishing setting up when here came the rain again-stop, cover everything up, load tools into truck or SUV, drive back to the main road and to home-this economy still sucks, I don’t care what anyone says...

Bill Kristol and all the rest
Of the GOPe keep opining
They think they lucubrate-
But it sounds like whining

Acting as unhinged as Beck
Who is a card-carrying loon
Is not a winning game plan
And won’t be forgotten soon

So let them throw tantrums
And keep ignoring all of us-
Maybe their October surprise
Is to be thrown under the bus...

My wife’s brother got a car seat for us for their little baby. Just in case my wife would need to, in an emergency, pick up the baby from daycare or something.

Installing it in the car yesterday probably got the nosy neighbors talking. LOL

Oh, yeah. I am sure. I have a car seat for Annabelle in my car. The new car seats are practically installed into the car. Lots more work than what my kids had. In fact, the first two survived without them.

Thank you!

It is 87 here and mostly cloudy-cool for this time of the year...

What happened to your knee-did you injure it in the past? Knees seem to be more problematic than even backs after an injury...

Arthritis. This will be the second knee replacement.

Just walked the neighbor dog again. Had trouble getting him to eat...my DH came home and he is feeding him.

Did you see that the swimmers did not damage a bathroom and were indeed held at gunpoint while cops tried to extort money? Wow, did the media ever screw them over.
