Riding past the morgue.

The words of this post do ring true unto me, for we too stand at the beginning of the end of the great labor upon our house.

And it came to pass, that a hidden treasure was made manifest unto us. For amidst the dust and remnants of days long past, there did lie a small and humble token—a figure of Dumbo, the famed elephant. Though worn and weathered by the passage of time, it did speak as a relic of former joys, a whisper of the life that once dwelt within these walls, and a promise of the gladness yet to come. Lo, it seemed as though even the house itself would not let us labor without hope.

View attachment 225112

And now, on the morrow, we set forth on a journey of respite, a fortnight of rest to restore our strength. When we return, it shall be to the work of reclaiming our home, to move once more into that which we have labored to restore, and to fill its halls with the life and laughter it was made to hold.

Dumbo deserves a place of honor on the mantle, methinks.

Woe to him whom this world charms from duty! Woe to him who seeks to pour oil upon the waters when God has brewed them into a gale! Woe to him who seeks to please rather than to appall! Woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness! Woe to him who, in this world, courts not dishonor! Woe to him who would not be true, even though to be false were salvation! Yea, woe to him who as the great Pilot Paul has it, while preaching to others is himself a castaway!

Seller came back with a lowered price. I then countered with 27000 less than their new offer so not too far away. Lets see what happens tomorrow. I am not afraid to walk away.

Got about 4" of snow yesterday. Watched some football, made chili baked potatoes and corn bread. Shoveled after dinner. Cold today. Shoveled the sidewalk and driveway for my 93 year old neighbor. Kids helped brush off his car, a task they seemed to enjoy. They then proceeded to brush my car off without being asked. Gonna hop on the trainer for a bit, gotta start getting my tubby self back in shape.

I bust out the electric blower and blew the snow off the stoop and walkway--benefit of it being so cold is light powder eh. One of my nice neighbors had shoveled the sidewalk proper already.

I swear people just nod and say "okay okay" sometimes.

We had a meeting at work last week, going over some open issues and I brought up something from last year.

Last week;
me: "We need to issue a PO to finish the work on xxxx"
them: "okay okay send me the quote and I'll enter it"

Today;
me: spends time looking for the quote from November and sends it over
them: "We already issued that PO and they finished this work last year" and sends work order showing completion.

rofl why didn't they just say the work was completed, so I'm not wasting time looking for an old ass quote?

me: I'm suspicious of this work being done, so I check the system and its still working how it was, before this work was supposedly done.

So they apparently brought the contractor in, who did some work, but didn't finish the job. Even though you say they did. So what, you paid them for work they didn't do AND didn't verify their work? FFS


Sorry, end rant. Resume the regularly scheduled program.

You guys think too small. Perfect opportunity to fab up a rolling meth lab. That way you have a steady stream of income. And Walmart won’t kick you out of their parking lot.

I though “okay okay” is what all the flannel wrapped say in Canadia land?

Meh. I do that at work sometimes, because IDGAF. That’s a newish attitude for me, but I am adapting to our company culture…

Germ tube Monday is already wreaking havoc as a delayed outbound flight in Washington (DCA, don't call it Reagan) means we likely miss our connection in DIA -- fuck Donald Trump with a dumbo dildo.

Kiddo re-met my friends, visited some museums, got better at pinball and most importantly saw a Terps hoops victory yesterday so green light to repeat this trip next year.

Fear the turtle, or at least wash your hands after handling re: salmonella ;)

This is US Dollars. I might be the communist kingping of the monkey but I would never leave it to the Americans to convert currencies to Dollars or ask them to watch a movie with subtitles.

Mexico is so easy, basically 1/2. (One dollar, 20 pesos is the simple street conversion, .48) Those tacos cost 40 pesos, (total for 3) I gave them 50, told them the rest was a propina, they high fived.
wow.
The place the hotel rocommended for Chilaquilles was like $18.00 for a small bowl, I passed and walked literally 1/2 a block away for these.
