Well, this got me thinking.
Well, actually, not really thinking so much as considering the relevant perspective of the issue as raised by you.
In fact, even the relevant perspective is kind of flawed due to the ramifications which you so eloquently ignored.
Be that as it may, and with the present International Debate on the demise of Amphibians being forefront in my mind, I am happy to report that I have Reached a Conclusive Final Observation pertaining to the Matter at hand, and will be happy to share it with you.
But first I will need to try and remember what it was I was on about in the first place.
Oh well. It surely was going to be Something of Note.
Sorry.
:):))
Okay,
I think I'll just leave this one for 'Snake to deal with. It's already making my head hurt!
:o)
Good idea.
I'm hoping he can clear it up.
For both of us!
:):))
Actually, I am rather anticipating further obfuscation, but I could be wrong. It has happened twice before.
Perhaps at this point, I should take a nap and rest my brain to better understand the imminent response.
Have a great night Pottery!
in the early morning hours,
while others sleep peacefully unawares,
one ponders the meaning of it all.
Discontent is want of self-reliance; it is infirmity of will.
It is impossible for a man to be cheated by anyone but himself.
That which we call sin in others is experiment in us.
There are three wants which can never be satisfied: that of the rich, who wants something more; that of the sick, who wants something different; and that of the traveler, who says, "Anywhere but here."
Great geniuses have the shortest biographies. Their cousins can tell you nothing about them.
What forests of laurel we bring, and the tears of mankind, to those who stood firm against the opinion of their contemporaies.
No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.
A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.
In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.
Aah, how I wish the above words had been my own.
Alas, only the first sentence was mine.
The rest were Amporisms by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
A Wordsmith of the highest order.
They came from The Viking Book of Amphorisms, a personal slection of more than 3,000 amphorisms from more than 400 authors, given to me by my friend Swampy.
There you have it Pottery.
Although I am not sure all things have been made clear.
RTLSNK,
Your words have not fallen on sleeping ears, sadly enough.
I find myself still awake at 0500 for the second time this week.
Happens every time Angie has a week off.
(She didn't go to sleep until 0300)
Think I'll double down on the benadryl and try again.
Until the morrow...
(which is actually right about now)
Rather odd to be sitting on the side of the bed and find your head on the pillow. :)
Put it back where it belonged, made a pot of coffee, took two benadryls, went back to sleep at 0430 hrs.
Pollen count today in Macon is 10 out of 12.
Sat, 10.3, Sun, 11.2, Mon, 11.7.
Went to Walgreens yesterday and bought a box of those blue medical masks.
I don't care how funny they look, they work.:)
BTW, trying to figure out what is in Pottery's mind is like trying to figure out how many kernals there are on a cob of corn, or trying to find a needle in a haystack. He is an islander you understand. No telling what kind of strange potion, or elixer he had consumed to cause his malaise of confusion, contortion, and consternation of the night before.
I had to reach across time and space and the Atlantic Ocean to locate his mind and all I found was some sort of dream about native girl carpenters wearing bikinis working on some sort of flooring project. Took me awhile to get that one out of my head. :)
They did have really exceptional.....tools. :)
As clear as mud....
But quite understandable, given the ghastly hour of the morning. 4:01 am is the Precise Time that the brain wanders into the quagmire of semi-coherence.
Usually, this condition, at this hour, is brought about by the Overuse and Abuse of Alchoholic Beverages.
I wonder what his excuse could possibly be?
hehehehehhhhhh
Outside for a bit. Will check in later.
Been working on Angies car this morning. Still need to change the oil. Really don't want to. Can't seem to change the oil on that car without wearing a pint of it.
Have a headache that doesn't want to go away. Think RTL's pollen is blowing this way.
Other than that...a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Answered on your blog.
So your Spring Break is almost over, actually Angie's Spring Break!
our 2 day get a way weekend went by too fast also!
Just now getting back out on some blogs and trying to catch up! May have to come back here and listen to some of the music you have loaded!
Have a great Weekend!!!
Yep, just the weekend to go and I can start trying to get back to a normal sleep schedule. (whatever that is...don't know that I've ever had a normal one)
I think there might be a few songs there that you will like!
Off for a while!
Spread 25 bags of mushroom compost this morning in the landscape area on the North side of the house. Will do the other 25 bags tomorrow morning.
Then had the grandkids this afternoon. What a hoot they are. Made sure this time they didn't catch me napping in my lazy boy chair so I didn't end up covered with little bits of cloth.:)
Time to go horizontal, see you in the morning.
LOL You just think you are tired now. Wait until Sunday.
Sleep well man.
Shen
mmmm...not good news! Thanks for the link.
Well, all is quiet here now...except for the cat. Angie sleeping peacefully. Haven't watched much tube this week. Might just go veg on the couch and watch a movie for a while.
Oh great, there are two of them now?
And you guys thought I was just making up another bug story!!!
Cmon, admit it, you thought it was a joke.
Well, now I wonder if what we have all over the place is the Kudzu Bug or the Brown Stink Bug.
Oh darn, what if they like each other?
What if the male Brown Stink Bug starts singing his mating call and Female Kudzu Bugs respond and like the little guy?
Well, there go the peanuts, pecans, and peaches in Georgia.
Wait till they get to the Oranges in Florida.
I hope they don't like Apple Fritters. :)
You're gonna give yourself nightmares!
Too late!
Did you read the part where the guy found 3,000 of them in his attic?
Nope, I am not going up there. :)
The airconditioning guy who checks the heater in the fall and the air conditioners in the spring goes up there. I'll have him tell me.:)
Everytime the air guy goes up there he tracks a bunch of the pink stuff back down on his shoes and I have to use the 2 gallon portable vac to get the stuff up before I start to break out.:)
Somethings I really just don't need to know!
'Nite 'Snake. I'm going to bed now.
The Sun is up, the Parrots are squawking in the trees, and my Lady has gone to the market to buy some fish.
So it's only me and a cup of HongWing coffee, and a dog.
Come to think of it, don't bother to get up.
I can deal with this myself!
:):))
I was gonna say: Sounds pretty good to me!
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Happy St Patti's Day to you all!!!!
(that's my way I like to say that greeting..
I know it is all about me! LOL)
St Patricks Day Graphics
Nothin' wrong with that Patti!
Thank you!
Happy Patti's day to you as well!
Pollen is 10.8 here, including some varieties that I have issues with. Tell me again why I live in a forest on the edge of a lake? Tell me again why I got out of bed this morning...oh, wait a minute...I remember. The evil kitty was howling to be fed.
I think I'm gonna order one of those air conditioned respirator helmets. No, I can't wear a gas mask. It would freak the fishermen out too bad...besides, those things are hot!
:o)
So...dumped some Seafoam in the crank case, poured the rest in the throttle body, (because I was still thinking it was either carbon, a stuck lifter, or bad gas), until it killed the motor.
Let is sit 15 minutes, fired it up and ran it until the smoke cleared.
Took it out on the main road and was still bucking like a bronco. So, put it in second and stood on the gas until it started running right. Drove a few miles down the road to the place we used to drag race. Long, straight, flat, no place for anyone to pull out in front of you, and you can see 2 miles with almost never another car. Road was vacant so I nailed it a couple more times then ran at a fair clip, around the block and home. Running good now.
Sometimes when you have a car that bucks like a bronco, you just gotta jab the spurs in until it gets tired of acting up.
Raise yer glass and sing along!
Cool!
Thanks WP!
You've been missed!
Hope you have a really great weekend!
A Note to the Unwise, the Unwary, the Unexpected.
When nailing a floor down to joists, remember this.....
Each board has to be placed, marked, cut to length. Say 3 squats.
Each board has to be placed and locked with 2 clamps. Say 3 squats.
Each board has to be nailed down to each joist. Say 5 squats.
Thats about 11 squats per board MINIMUM.
I have placed and nailed 58 boards so far today.
Thats about 638 squats. MINIMUM...
Of course, the above does not include carrying each board to the saw which is at 2 steps down, and back again.
Now I have enough floor down to move the saw up on to the floor, I will eliminate the carrying and bringing back.
But still, squats are for Young People, man!
Having a cold beer before I return to the thing, because I fear that tomorrow I won't be able to walk......
Life is filled with unpleasant realities!
I figure I spent half my working life on my knees and the other half on a ladder. Get some delux kneepads and put the saw on the floor near the work - ahh! Come to think - there ain't an easy way to do much of anything unless you just write the cheques and even that is not easy.
Been there...done that...know what you mean.
But hey, Pottery, Lady Pott will appreciate how firm and toned your posterior is! Just tell her not to grab at it for 3 days!
LOL
True enough!
But I'm working on an Invention that will allow you to drive nails anywhere, from a standing position.
How about a long tube, filled with nails, driven pneumatically, like a nail-gun with an extension?
Yeah, that would work, right?
Lordy! I'm gonna be rich !!!
heheheheheh
Yeah, then you can hire the work done...but your butt will be flabby! (can't win for losing)
HAHAHAH !!
Yes indeed. I just hope she does not want me to fetch anything from upstairs.
Did I mention that we are off to Grenada for 5 days on Monday?
Strolling on the beach, lounging on deck chairs in the shade and paddling about in the warm brine will do wonders for EVERYTHING !
Bring it ON !
I don't get to see my butt too much.
I can live with flabby....
Nah. Actually, vanity is too strong an incentive..
I'd go with the bikini clad young women.
But just think how great your work is going to be once it is all completed!!!!
hello Rob, just looking around and decided to stop in again!
Okay, I officially cease and desist feeling sorry for you!
Drop by anytime sweetie!
Always appreciated.
Well Indeed Yes.
That is obviously the First Preference.
But I fear that in the time it would take to explain the Situation to Lady Pott (who is usually very reasonable..) I could have completed the job.
Life is hard, man.
It's not that I WANT to go you understand....
I just feel it is my civic responsibility to Support the local Brewery and the Distillery as well.
Oh, and the Chefs, the Barmaidens, the BeachBunnies, you know, those Vital People that keep us Sane and Focussed.
Thanks Gamma!
I will send Hood some photos soon to show how it's going.
But I won't send him any from Grenada, I don't want him Drooling on his keyboard or anything .
heheheheh
A mentor once told me: "Live hard, play hard, love hard, and die hard. You can't outrun death forever, but you can sure make the (insert preferred profanity here) work for it!
Agreed. Good to know that you are doing what you can to stimulate the economy!
On that note, I am going to take a nap before heading to my parent's house for the traditional St. Paddy's day feast.
You all are of course welcome to stay and hang out.
Take good care!
Oh...that just ain't right!
LOL
I sent you 3 photos of the Floor Works.
You will note the Incredible Quality of the workmanship, craftsmanship, squatsmanship....
:):))
