I hope it is a good end and not my rear end that is set to happen… Today I decommissioned my work computer and phone and sent them back to “the company”. Monday should be my last day of full (or partial) employment. I have been looking forward to cutting those ties but it is with fear that they are now going away… hope I have things setup well enough to enjoy things now with out having to work. Only time will tell.
On other notes, it has been awhile since I last posted and things have happened… it was a week ago that daughter and grandsons came up to visit… at the request of Grandson #1 we went to Jimmy’s Egg for lunch one day and with my lunch I got a salad… had two packages of crackers with it and one …. was a little short?
Not bad , just 1.5 crackers in that pack… not sure it is Premium to get short?
I have been filling the bird feeder at some points and so far it is not all sparrows that are getting the wild seed… this guy came to visit and had a lot of friends..
Last week I got the motorhome back to OKC for some repair. Seems that if you don’t run the generator a lot it will clog up the cooling system and foul the temp sensor. When that happens it won’t run for longer than 5 minutes. So Tuesday I hooked up the “new jeep” and towed it down to the city… worked great, all the wiring and things done were fine and we are now ready to hit the road… again… Oh and got the generator fixed as well… but took another big chunk of money for that… not a simple $100 fix… ouch. I will have to make sure I run it at least an hour or so every month or more to keep it circulated and maybe set it up for a flush? in a couple of years. It did feel good to be out on the road , even if it was to the repair shop. We just need to get some weekends out and enjoy things now.
Last weekend we made the National Wrestling Tournament in OKC… it was fun but not so sure I would make big trip, to like NYC , to see it? We went Friday night and when we left our team was ahead… although we knew it would not last as we didn’t have any point possibilities in the consolations…
We did have 4 in the finals and won 2 of those with National Champions… We started the night (Saturday night) with a really big time win and had the crowd going…
We just didn’t have enough horses in the total race to stay in first place and ended up in 3rd… not bad, but with our history anything less than #1 is just not as exciting.
I have done a little yard work but every time I get ready to start it gets cold or wet again… and found that I have flowers coming out…
I now need to get the tall grass trimmed back as it will start coming out as well… next warm, dry day I have that on my list…
I did get another repair done on the motorhome early this week before the cold came back… had a leaky drain faucet near the tanks that I swapped out.
It didn’t take as long as I had figured it would… it didn’t leak until I turned on the faucet as the broken connection was on the outlet piece so I had not been in a hurry to fix it but now it is fixed and no more leaks… until the next time it freezes with a little water on the outlet side?
Last Sunday I also got busy with the grill and did a mess of ribs and a pork roast for pulled pork. it all turned out , “fall-off-the-bone” and was pretty tasty. I did a different taste than my DIL had been doing so this time it was a bit sweeter? It is something to play with to get the taste right…
The roast was pretty good and most of it I put in a freezer bag (after pulling it off the bone) so we can use it in Green Chili later… One thing I am seeing here… in order to test more recipes and find ones we like… I am going to have to give more food away? no way we can keep up eating all this…
Of course I have been hitting the radio quite often… still have a lot of states to catch on multiple bands but slowly I am filling in the holes on that goal… I am also enjoying the time spent. I do need to get back on a couple of projects that are waiting… I have the parts but need to build up a couple of control boards for the power switches I started last year… still… Hope to get on that next month and get both those done. Also have an airplane to repair. I need to find the right coke cans to make it look like the rest of the plane when I replace a broken piece… Seems there is always plenty to do…
