June Coffee Pot 11 years old

[Hudson#685]

Good Morning! 68 degrees, sunny and a bit windy.

Yesterday my son and I went to a Train Show in Hamburg, Pa.  A decent show that we go to a few times a year. No big purchases this time but we did make a trip to Cabella's which is nearby for some fishing supplies. Today it is clean the fish/turtle tanks and filters, donate blood and then the next to last night of school.

SJ: Thanks for breweing this Pot.

Chief: Glad the Hosta Show went well. Congrats to your wife. You just played a "small part".

Doug M: Power Washing and Cutting Grass the sign that summer is here.

Joe: I hope the kids are easy on you guys!

Don / Chief: We can tell you guys are friends!

Enjoy the Day!

Mornin' Fellas

Been a rough couple of weeks for me. First The Shingles, then a car accident (rear ended), then issues with insurance companies, then had to go to Pittsburgh on Saturday to take a look at the house prior to putting it up for rent again.

The Shingles are almost gone, just some redness that needs to go away.

The car goes into the shop tonight for a new rear end. I need to call my Dr to see what to do for either PT or if I should visit a chiropractor for my neck and back. Dentist appointment tomorrow. Orthodonist appointment next week to have the retainer checked.

Then I really hope the current renters are out on 6/21. It is going to a take a lot of work to get the house fixed up to rent again. These people have been in the house for 8 years and the three of them all smoked in the house, and apparently they have all their friends over for smoking parties. Now some of you may remember back in 2004 I remodeled the kitchen and bathroom in that house (prior to the divorce), well the bathroom walls were white, they are now brown. ALL of the ceilings and walls are brown, the trim work is brown, there is paint peeling from the humidity being too high, etc, etc, etc. You would think someone would have called and told me what was going on, but NO!!!!!

I estimate it will take at least 3 days to scrub down all the walls and ceilings, then I have a bunch of spackling work to do to fill in holes, cracks, and smooth out the peeled paint. I'll then have to paint the ceilings and walls, then replace all the carpeting. NOT HAPPY. I saw where Lowes was having a whole house installation special... that of course ends tomorrow. So I may have to stop there tonight and see what could possibly be done about getting someone out there to measure and all that... sigh

Morning all.  Sunny and cool.  Just ran small tiller in garden.  Now to get ready to play Mayor for the rest of the day and night.

Shake and Bake did not know what time it was.  He was inebriated.  Plain DRUNK.  My turkey started gobbling and I finally got up.  A text message from Don asking, "Are you up?"  I answered, "I am now".  The cell rings.  Its Don but he doesn't know how to answer.  I call back and hear poor Kaye helping him answer his cell.  Don wants to have a family meeting [at that time of the night!!!!! ].  Finally got back to bed.  Then Mirra [cat] wanted up.  No rest for the weary.  I'm sure Kaye had to "pour" him in the bed.  I guess he is due one.  Getting that contraption off of his leg and Chris graduating.

Hope all have a great week.

Good Morning from Blueberryhill..........

Good Morning,  Joe........

It is a cloudy 70 degrees. Going up to a humid 82 today with rain due this afternoon.

Today is a busy day. I have an early errand to run and the usual chores to do. Wife is grocery shopping. After all is put away, lunch and a nap.

Cheerios for breakfast on the dining car.

Y'all have a great Monday

Konbanwa and Ohayo Chuck,

Wow, I'm sorry folks.  Since I'm in the future I should have got the new Pot going yesterday, but I guess I was so busy I didn't even realize it was the first.  Thanks SJ.  I had an easy three-mile run this morning, but I need to now start my runs earlier as it has really warmed up.  The baseball team has its final practice tonight and it will be a kids versus parents scrimmage.  I hope none of us parents get hurt.

Chuck - I have not videotaped any of the games.  As the coach my hands aren't free to do it; however, I will ask the wife to take some footage at the last games this weekend.

Doug M. - How old is the youngest?  Our 10 y/o has cut the grass a few times, but he needs work to. 

Sayonara,

Joe

Whew !,

I was concerned about the fact there was not a June Pot, and no word about/from the Chief, and especially since there was a major Garden Party, Saturday Night..  (I assume that means there was a lot of women folk around, and who knows what could have happened?  (Over whelmed by attention maybe, natural desires on the part of said visitors, who knows....  Or even the Southern Gentlemen being protective and defensive protecting his wifes illustrious reputation.) concerning over his wifes honor.  (Never can tell about those Garden Party's, you know.)  But, was relieved when the Chief called me about 12;15  AM, (my time) and I found out everything was OK.,  And it was a great success.  GREAT JOB PAM !!

So that being said, all is well and hope everyone has a great evening and a great day.

Good evening all,

Another all shot to h----.  Sato started on the pole and was running 11th toward the end of the race when Marco tagged him and dropped him to 18th.   Down to 16th in the standings.   Edged and trimmed yard before church this AM.  Washed 2 vehicles before race, was going to do 3rd after that but rain moved in.  Except for grandson's win yesterday, could have tossed this weekend in the trash.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Aloha! Summer has arrived this weekend - I spent yesterday celebrating the arrival of hot weather by powerwashing and water-proofing our backyard deck. And supervising the youngest in his lawn-mowermanship apprentice. He's got a lot to learn until his work is up to my standards . Rewarded ourselves with a few super-hero movies and ice cream last night. And took him to the beach after church today. A nice weekend!

Thanks Sir J.  Busy.  Finally made a Sunday School.  Yesterday was the big hosta garden show here for Wifey.  70 folks from all over the SE USA attended.   We were exhausted when it was finally over.  Big success for Wifey.  Today we were putting up more bird houses [I was digging post holes and mounting bird houses, Wifey supervising].  After that and some cherry pie and ice cream, a nap.

Hope all are OK.

Later.

Where's the chief, nobody started June.

RT is probably at the flea market.
