Don't tell but I miss babies, grandkids arent the same. We used to talk about adopting some little foriegn kid after Maddie graduates high school but I guess thats not practical now. I do like to read all your posts about your little kids.

My mom, three of my nieces, and two of my nephews are arriving tomorrow for a 5 day visit.

How exciting! I hope you have a great visit.

Pictures!

Finally were cutting hay! It's still early here by the calendar but what the hell its dry and blowing , wish we started last tuesday.

A super nice guy sent us a couple of old slides of our old Brussard being serviced in Reykjavik Iceland on her way to Canada after her long stint with Norway. He was thrilled we have kept her wearing her military paintjob. Still I havent found the right name for her

I just finished my tour to Vienna with my choir, so of course I have to place here that I absolutely love performing and touring.

I love having a semi-functioning computer again.

My bike is en route from AZ!


(Yes, yes, probably cheaper to get one off Craig's List or Freecycle but I know this one and my dad was willing to foot the shipping costs of something like $45.)

I guess she loves me she bought me a custom crash helmet with visors n all and with all the comm atuff n cords for my comm and radio stuff. So if Iever have a misshap my head will survive. Oh yea I got rasberry pie this week twice!

That sounds like the real highlight

My summer frisbee team finished 3rd out of 16 teams =)

Yee Haw! Sounds fun.

And we won the tournament! (and by "won", I really mean "steam rolled" - we were playing games to 15 points, and none of our opponents scored above 10, averaging about 7). I don't think I've won anything sports related since little league.

Go you!

Hey there is a new you tube vid up of one of our boxcars done recently. Ya can just look up C-119 and or "Flying boxcars" to find it. We were just firing up the ladies and testing out their fancy new rebuilt carbs. One of the finest sounds there is to me, I swear sometimes my eyes get wet when one "Bursts into life" I love every vibration and seeing all the guages come on and alarms going off like she is waking in a bad mood and is quite terse with me over her inactivity and as she smoothes out and firing on all 18 cylinders and as she warms up to me (at 140f cyl head temp) and I can open up her cowl flaps so to let her say "hello" Uh" why is it all the engines in my life are female in every way?

Harvest is done, the garden has been well frosted and the geese are flying, Fall is here! On my way north for a while

The city bike-share program, Divvy? It's kind of amazing.

Uber and Lift, too.

Modern rifle deer season opens here this weekend and I couldnt be more happy! I wish all a safe n happy n successful season or I'll just say a "happy" fall to everyone! See how tactful I am not to offend anyone.

Love the way sleepy Riv spreads herself out on me and cuddles. Love the way Nom can make her laugh. Love that Nom already thinks of them as a team.

Also love all the gin and other booze we got given recently.

Two more Pweb babies coming into the world next year.

(But neither from either zero or myself.)

I just adore this cold clear clean weather! As long as I'm bundled up all snug in a favored hunting spot.

Since last winter with the polar vortex I have been anxiously awaiting proper winter weather. Finally, the biting cold! I can put on my hat and my sweater and drink hot tea and stock up on Irish cream.

And now they're saying 4-6 inches tomorrow, maybe! SO EXCITED.

I got my driver's license back today, after three years without it.

Relatedly, zero bought us a car. It's a black 2015 Honda Fit and it's pretty spiffy. And super convenient. Her name is Merith, after an ancient Egyptian physician.

Yippee!



Thing that I love: I got like 8 Lego sets for Christmas. Being a grown-up rocks.

Having Pweb back. Don't tell zero, but there were some happy tears that I was not expecting after all this time and after how quiet things have been.

Yeah, can we all not be quiet around here anymore? That'd be great.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*screams*

*backs slowly out of the room*

Things that I love:

When clients return. I don't love that they have problems that need help, but I love I'm who they return to.

Cream cheese.

Some of the cheap target shirts for little boys. Atty has an orange one and a blue and lime green one that make me smile.

My new blowdryer. My hair looks about a gazillion times better.

I love having my grandsons around during harvest and all cuz thats the way it's suppose to be but it's a big change for me!

aww, how old are they? :)

Luke is six and Matt is 12, Matt just passed his hunter safety course recently. He wants to go to "huntin camp" this fall with the guys in the men in the worst way. Matt can drive "off road" pretty good, after dinner last night we bolted some custom wood blocks to the pedals of an old wheat truck. He might get a little harvest time in the field this year, it always was such a big deal to me at that age. And no Julie is not so happy with me for letting him drive at all.

I just finished a book. That I wanted to read. For fun.

I like life peaceful and drama free, I love to do what I like , I enjoy getting my own way, I like to win all the time, I love it when I'm not second guessed, I love it when my actions and obsessions are never questioned. And I love all of you that I really don't know well and wish ya'll were back here chatting again.
