We all have very interesting habits and strange actions… I happened to capture a few a couple days ago…
The neighborhood Kites decided to do a spread… they didn’t dust like chickens would they just landed out, and spread out… ? not sure why?
Next up… as I was waiting for Sherrie at noon, caught these girls moving empty hangers from the stadium store to the union…? I guess she felt like holding that box and riding? although it might have been safer to walk?
I guess you have to make fun when you can?
Yesterday I had to make a trip to OKC… I had missed my appointment for my Colorectal Surgeons review of my recent butt-recto scope… you know when they stick a tube where the light don’t shine and take a close exam of your very cleaned out whistle tube… The appt was for 9:30 but since I missed my original on Tuesday (just plan forgot and never got the reminder call)…I was on a sort of when it opens up deal… but still got in by 10 and waited for awhile… and he came in with paperwork in hand… no one asked me to shuck and bend? all he wanted was to make sure things were ok… go over the results and take my $50 copay… I felt shorted in the deal… but that was ok… He has seen my butt enough over the past few years… I am now on the 2 year plan… but need some another 90 day recheck to be sure and I am sure that time he will want to examine is work… or my works how ever it turns out…
When I got out of there I headed to the outlet mall… I needed some new walking shoes as my “old geezer” white reeboks were wearing out and I had long ago wore out the black ones and tried another brand that just isn’t the same… Anyway they had some on hand and had a deal… Buy one and a get the next half off, but me being the deal kind of guy asked about getting my AARP discount and sure enough I got another 20% off the total… so I grabbed both pairs of white and black… I did try on several grays, and multi colors and all that but the walkers that fit me best only come in black and white… OLD GEEZER stuff…
I then headed back to Sam’s to pick up what we needed form there and sure glad I had filled up early on the way in… gas went up a nickel 4 hours time… I collected what was on my list and figured, why not have lunch here… so I had a Nathans hotdog, drink and frozen yogurt for $2.91… again… being cheap it felt good…
Getting home I got all my stuff out and did a few chores around, chased the other duck off a couple of times and noticed that the damn rabbits are now eating up some of our flowers in the front?… I had some repellant for that so sprayed some out… and hope it keeps them off the plants for a day or two… It was just one of those days…
Today was just another day… had my bran cereal, let the dogs out to chase the duck… several times as it wouldn’t give up on coming back (stupid duck)… Then I went to town in search of special parts for the plane I am working on… The information I had said that 4 3/32 rods would fit in a 3/16 aluminum tube… nope… not the ones I found… so I was in search of a 1/4 tube or 1/16 rods or? I found some small TIG welding rod that worked and then headed back in for lunch. the welding shop was way out east of town… I had exhausted all the other places… Lowes, Lock supply, Hobby Lobby, etc.… even hit some auto parts shops but not finding what I needed till the welding shop and even then it was a compromise of sorts…
For lunch we went to Taco Bueno… they had a BOGO for the $5 plates… like I said, being cheap I like great deals… After lunch I got home and it was threatening to rain again… but first… send the dogs out and chase off the duck… several times… and I worked on the air plane some more… I hate working with epoxy glue but that is about the only way to make this type of plane… I did get it done… and got the missiles made from the rods and tube I had… and glued on… so maybe GS#1 will be ok with a not so perfect first attempt at this style airplane…
During the day I had also put some chicken and veggies into a marinade for dinner… they were pretty good and might even work later as fajita chicken??? we have left over…
the big peppers are split Jalapeno and yes we had some mushrooms in there too… they were pretty good…
While I was cooking I noticed some color way off the the left in a big tree… grabbed the camera and caught these guys… working for ??? bugs I guess…
At first I thought this was a Cardinal but nope, something else…
And that was the day… well, I finished the plane after supper and tinkered with it a bit to get the pieces up… some radio stuff and some internet stuff and the in and shower and bed… exciting stuff..
