Yep! the tax man thinks so too. Was watching 12 deer out back last evening.
Sitting here with ice on the elbow. Doc lady thinks it is bersitis? It is swelled up and hurts to rest it on anything but these cold gel packs. Told me not to use it for a few days.
Woke me up in the middle of the night hurting. For about the first hour I thought I just slept on it wrong. Then I felt the heat from it and that worried me.

Ummm. load positioning is the responsibility of the driver. One of them wasn't a cute chick was it???
Might have been an excuse if it had... and ultimately I took 100% of the responsibility, one box of tile at a time...Ummm. load positioning is the responsibility of the driver. One of them wasn't a cute chick was it???
I hauled plenty of them over the years. Ain't nothing light about them.Might have been an excuse if it had... and ultimately I took 100% of the responsibility, one box of tile at a time...
Knocked the neighbor lady's barn down with my backhoe this morning. After breaking the Amish guys chain twice we got my big ones out of the box on the machine. I tore out 2 corners and then hooked to it and folded it right down nice and flat. I had offered to help him do it as the old thing was in such bad shape he had to set his ladder on boards to climb up and hook the chains to the end beam. We pulled it down and never touched the attached milk house.

I don't I hate it every body wants to spend my money faster than I can make it just because they see on the news how every body is spending like a drunk democrat.
Got out of the house briefly today to drive the Amish boys over to their old farm for a pallet jack and a wheelbarrow. First I left the house in days. If I feel OK tomorrow we will go get my coal stove and put it in the greenhouse. Then pick up pipe to get it going. They will help me lay it out and I will let them do all the cutting with my tools. I will just supervise and sit on my butt. I need it going before the nasty cold weather gets here.
i cleaned & got a visitor. then went to buy a few drinks, & attended an annual local Christmas lite-nite & went to a dinner we contributed to. i took last-minute food- they only announced food was gonna be offered a few ago. great weather fer a great nite.

I'm attempting to find a good show to go to in Tampa - something like a play, maybe a concert - heck even an opera. I'm not finding anything truly interesting.
Oh, and I'm finally signing up for this forum after being bugged by a couple of your members for almost eight months now.
Nope, didn't say that. NOT me.

Care to tell us who suggested you join here? They obviously didn't tell you about our Introduction Forum where people tell the group about themself before askig for a favor. Miss Manners would not be pleased. Just sayin'...

Nope, no one said a thing. So, in answering the question of the thread, is your answer checking for newbies Mister Congeniality?
I'm really just kidding and answering you only because ignoring you would be just rude, wouldn't it? I'm still, however searching my first post for a 'favor' being asked. I can't find it. Nope.
FWIW, it appears that you are ASKING for a show, play or concert to attend. Either that, or your first post was nothing more than sharing your depression with us over Tampa's lack of entertainment and the arts.Nope, no one said a thing.

You still have not introduced yourself. Are you mimicking Obama? We don't know who he is either. Are you really Obama??? Which members were encouraging your participation on FF?
Oh for crying out loud, did jev get out of his box again? Will somebody please put him back in? And btw, welcome to the forum Patt!
Oh sure, just blow off decorum like the liberals do. How would you react if you opened the front door to your home and a stranger and just barged past you, sat down in your chair and started to place his food order to your wife while changing the channel from Duck Dynasty to to the Oprah channel? When you ask for an introduction, you are met with ramblings without an answer. At least the intruder could say "Hi, my name is JEV, and I'm here to piss you off and show that I forgot all the manners I was taught as a kid."
BTW, you were forewarned about my housebound condition last week while I'm on the mend.
So there. Na, na, na, na, na!

Good God NO, I'm NOT Obama, nor would I ever be. However, I simply answered the question as to 'what I was doing'. You see, I was actually looking for a show to go see and couldn't find one of interest. Ergo, I came here and 'did something else'.
And seriously, did I type seven paragraphs to avoid the question? No, I didn't. Therefore, it's impossible for me to be Obama.
Thank the Heavens above.

Why thank you. I see I might have been right, eh? It's good to have a watch dog when someone new comes around. It'll be fine; he'll settle down when he realizes I'm not a Commie come to infiltrate the masses and report back to headquarters on the homegrown radicals.
I wouldn't want to poke Jev in his hurty parts just to make a point, but really Jev, dear, how was I to know you were 'on the mend' when I simply just arrived? I'd say your logic is a tad skewed on that one. As to the introduction.... This really isn't the local Moose Lodge, hun. You can plainly see my given name.
Watching it snow ......At this rate I am going to half to shovel the roof soon . About 3 feet on the back side now .
that's why i'm drinking. i'm tired of cleaning stairwells & 'at, & I'm taking a few to tend to me. bring on my bubble-bath & junk food, too. dammit.

Finally stopped snowing here so I cleared both driveways (yet again)
Went to Costco and Gordon Food Services with the lovely Mrs_Bob to compare prices for an upcoming awards dinner at the high school. Also picked up some stuff while we were there for the house. Vacuumed up the dog hair that Misha is shedding all over the house. Basically, I've done nothing productive.
Oh, I did by an investment book. Its THE DEMOGRAPHIC CLIFF by Harry S Dent Jr. I've been curious about the concept and this guy is both criticized and complimented so I figure its worth a read. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1591847273/ref=pe_385040_30332200_pe_309540_26725410_item
But on the bright side, I'm roasting a duck now and hope to have a tasty orange infused duck in about another hour. And then I plan to watch the season opener of THE WALKING DEAD at 8pm Central time!
Probably have a warmed glass of "Jim Beam Honey" mixed with Apple Juice after that and go to bed!
Such an exciting day.

Since my mixer croaked (junk KitchenAide Pro600), I made a couple 68% hydration baguettes to go with dinner.
Jumped the work van that sits in the yard and hasn't been driven in two weeks, and drove it around the block to get the battery up. My guess is that the extreme cold was more than it could hold up to. It's a new battery, but I guess everything has its limitations.
Cleared the 3" of snow from the driveway while the van idled, and dressed the neighbor's driveway edges that the plow guy missed. I think some of these plow guys need a lesson on how to properly clear a driveway. missing 18" on each side is unacceptable, IMO.

Bought a new printer, Epson WP-4530. Got it hooked up and then tried to use the computer. One little problem, the curser would not move. So over to Best Buy and had them check the mouse. It was not lighting up here at home. It worked fine over there. So I come back home and try again. Won't work. I haul out my laptop and spent the last 2 hours trying to get it to work. It did not see my cable and kept asking for a dial up phone line. Got 2 lines in the house. Nothing worked. I'm a stuborn German by heritage. Finally got the darn thing connected and working. Good thing. Tom heard a big pile up on his radio and wants the computer to work so he can use it to find stations. Me? I'm making another drink. 
Worked out in the garage all day. First I cleaned out the missus' van and got it ready to trade in this week. Once I was done that, I brought the Durango to the carwash to have a bath, then into the heated garage to clean it out also. I found a couple spots where the paint was starting to lift and a little rust was starting on the rear hatch so I headed out to pick up some supplies to repair the damage before it gets any worse. I sanded the problem areas down to bare metal and removed the surface rust that was starting to form. Next came a few coats of primer followed by about 5 coats of color match paint. It turned out alright and good for another year. The mechanical is all new on the durango. It's paid for. So I don't mind spending a little time and money keeping it in good shape. I figure that's the trade off in lieu of an expensive monthly payment. A little mechanical work and pay a little more for fuel. Sure, it would be nice to be driving around in a brand new $50,000 vehicle but its also nice having no payment.
