830am and 80F with 80%RH
Probably should have had more water to drink yesterday. Didn’t seem like that much effort, but I was sweaty so I needed to drink. Hands are stiff like paddles, back is sore, and I’m feeling every muscle. Getting old sucks, and this situation is not sustainable. I need to get back to stretching and exercising.
As soon as the kids are fed, I need to unload the truck, head over to my secondary location, do some stuff there, while wife does some last minute cleanup at the rental. Oh, and I need to replace the porch light over there.
Then I can do all the things here!
It’s a good life if you don’t weaken……

sore, stiff, and old
There is no way that you are as stiff and sore as me today. I feel like someone went after me with a baseball bat. The wife says that I look like that too.
@Greg Norton: Back on Thursday you wrote about your interviewee:
“I’m curious as to why they guy isn’t teaching at the place he got his PhD and is currently doing postdoc, a well-known agricultural and mechancial institution here in the state.”
Here’s a possible answer:
Why I am Not a Professor OR The Decline and Fall of the British University
OK, in the order from discomfort to curable state to impending doom: Nick, Lynn, OFD.
My deep concern and best wishes to all! We all have missed OFD greatly for the recent past, and I don’t think that his situation is resolvable. But that is ENOUGH!
Was she whistling innocently and hiding something behind her back?
Agreed.
Listen up, everyone: No more dying!
The PhD may have decided that he doesn’t want the academic life – spend years chasing a tenure track position at cr4p wages, then hustle up research money, try to get published enough (and not too much), kiss the right behinds, and maybe then get tenure. If not, try again elsewhere.
That’s one reason.
That’s one reason.
Definitely.

Dude, in case you were wondering, you married up. Congrats !
Btw, I put LED light bulbs all on the outside of my home and office buildings. I’ve got half of them with the switch taped on and just leave them on 24×7.
Home.
Porch light turned out to be a loose connection, so no new fixture. Hooray.
Back motion lights wouldn’t come on, and I chased that for an hour before remembering that I had previously disconnected something in the kitchen ceiling when I was getting weird breaker trips, and strange voltage readings. Yup, it was the security light. Pulled the fixture on that one.
Spent 5 seconds weed whacking the overgrown seams in the driveway before running out of string. I didn’t listen to the little voice tell me to bring extra. ALWAYS listen to the little voice.
Removed the rat skeleton from the attic. No skull. HUGE industrial sized snap trap got him. Much nicer removing the skeleton than the nasty dead thing of several months ago.
Wife blew, raked, and bagged leaves. I threw them out. $3 of mulch makes a HUGE difference in looks.
Pulled climbing vines off the garage, poisoned the land with Thompsons Water Seal. That stuff will kill the dirt for 5 years.
In other news, one of our other rec assn members was able to recover the video off the damaged security dvr hard drive. GOOD clear pix of the perpetrators, and the girl’s distinctive facial tattoo.
The system I’m still in the middle of commissioning caught the neighbor’s house being robbed. Good video of the perp, and his vehicle. This was the neighbor who snorted when he learned that my client was putting in security cams. Said “we don’t need them, this is a nice neighborhood.” No word on what he said after seeing the video….
Now to shower and eat.
I’m heartened by Mr Lynn’s progress. Hang in there buddy, we need you…

At least two “poor choices” leading up to that sentence–and with any luck, those poor choices will lead to a jail sentence. 🙂
My little voice usually tells me to just kill everyone. People tell me I should not listen to that voice or even tell them what it’s saying, but that’s just their blatant insecurity talking — they’re worried that they don’t measure up and will be included in “everyone” — so I can just ignore what they say.
You sound like Joe Ledger, Mr. SteveF.
The only Joe I know is Joe Mama.
I had to look up Joe Ledger. I heard an interview with Maberry, the author, but didn’t remember the series name.
On another topic, MrAtoz, I may have a job for you. Because I refuse to fly commercial, I’ve gotten the bosses to agree to flying by Apache if they need me to go farther than a convenient drive away. I just need to obtain an Apache and we’ll be all set.
The wife says that I look like that too.
Was she whistling innocently and hiding something behind her back?
Oh, she has permission to do me with a pillow anytime she feels that it is time for me to move on. However, I asked her today if I should have waited on my surgery until later since I’ve been such a big pain to everyone. She replied that I should have done it three years ago. She has been watching me visibly slow down each year for the last three years. She now has high expectations when I heal up on the amount of work that she can get out of me. High expectations.

Not me, I’ve got a very specific list. But the voices never have suggested any creative methods; how many times can I hear “Split the bitches’ heads open with an axe!”? I will concede that the one name from years back, associated with the FL Dept. of Revenue, is going to go up against the wall.
“‘It’s a race’: Cruz allies will spend plenty to put brakes on Beto, keep Texas Senate seat red”

I think that Cruz will win but, I am seeing Beto signs everywhere in this blue county.

You bring the Apache, I’ll bring the Hellfires.

Our trip through San Antonio several weeks ago saw Beto (Cheeto) signs. Most were on abandoned buildings, fences, poles, etc., though. I don’t think I saw one Cruz sign. I hope he isn’t pulling a Cankles.
lol! Have you seen the picture of Fartinacan on stage with BJ Klinton at Franklin’s funeral? The MSM ProgLibTurd and networks cropped Farto out. And BJ looking at Ariana Grande’s ass. Also, Cankles had to be helped up the stairs to get seated. Yeah, like she’s gonna run again. She’ll probably croak in a couple of years. Think her pyre will be as glorious Chicken Hawk McCain’s?

BETO had signs out early. Cruz is late to the sign party.
Cruz’s manager has repeatedly cited the stats about sign effectiveness, but BETO has California money to burn.

The widespread speculation is that Robert Francis “BETO” O’Rourke is attempting to use signs to establish a meme that he is partially hispanic.
Once again, even if the strategy doesn’t result in a win, the California money people get to learn where the meme was effective via data mining.

Nothing BJ Clinton has done in the last 27 years surprises me, not since he got away with the line “That Mario Cuomo scares me … he’s a mafioso.”
The Cankles body double puts on a show. He’ll be hale and healthy for many years to come.
Cruz’ campaign strategy doesn’t include yard signs. I see lots of Beto signs here in my purplish-red area.
Does Cruz have a campaign strategy other than being in Texas and conservative ?
One wonders what they have done with all of the Hillary lizards ? Probably burned them in secret ceremoninies at the high moon.
Yup, that’s another lizard that will be looking for a new skin suit soon, Merciful Crom willing.
