Plan to paint the remaining window frame in here this afternoon. Once that's done, the lounge is finally finished. One room left, it's a pity I left the worst to last. I am over this reno thing, over it.  I will say going from dreadful dark paneling to a lighter color makes an amazing difference. It's just the work to get it there I detest; two coats of primer and one of paint. Would be lovely to have the Sims paint tool

 

Herself is over it for sure. It's not a huge room, and I've no where to put stuff, so I have been just pulling things away from the wall, painting behind them, and putting them back. Cartons everywhere, utter upheaval, and she has a well established and entirely earned mistrust of those.

At least the last room in at the other end of the house, and we aren't actually trying to live in the middle of the mess.

 

I am appropriating Himself's desk, and my sewing table will actually be used as one for the first time since I've been here. Which is to say it will become a flat surface I will load junk onto.

 

I  ought to mow this evening, but given the heat warning I don't think I will. It was still 97 at midnight last night, and I am not that nuts.

 

The new neighbors have really stiffened my resolve in regard to moving on. 7 children, although the number seems to vary, three adults who seem to be there most of the time. Several yappy little dogs who go on and on for hours. Saturday night seems to be the worst, they light a fire on the drive, and hoot and holler until the small hours. Had a verbal dispute with the farmer over the road, told him off for bush hogging too near their house. "Get off our property"! I am assuming, they don't seem to speak a lot of English. Turns out they were unaware of the property borders, and thought they owned more than they actually bought. The farmer owns everything right up to 15 feet from their front door. Which he pointed out to them in no uncertain terms. Told them he isn't putting up with any more nonsense at that address, that the surveyors will show them the the pins first thing Monday and he will have the fencers out there middle of the week. They don't have an easement as such, and the lane they use to get to the house is actually not theirs either.  Things might get interesting.

 

 

Oh do not cut the grass make friends with that farmer and let him do it. 

 

I'm still waiting to do the front living room. AKA our game room. It may be awhile 

 

Make sure you report back when the -----hits the fan.

Do you have to have had a beer before you dare post in here

No but you may need one to get through Tbone's posts

Oh and my friends brought me their old pool pumps. I have one connected already so that is good. The others if I want sand or salt I can get the stuff to make the switch over. SO happy to have great friends.

More than one, or just something stronger and tastier.

Many of you know I am a dentist.  Some of you know my daughter is a pediatric dentist.  

I was discussing with her the other day my love (NOT) for treating children in my office.

 

Today she sent me this text:

"My sedation patient this morning was a terrible violent mean 5 year old.  Spit on me, told me he would kick me in the face and that he hated me and and I was dumb.  YOU really hate working on kids?!?!🤣"

 

 

 

 

I did not know you are a dentist!  I am one of the weirdos who greatly enjoys dental cleanings.  Going today at 1500 in fact.

Probably like the "National Weather Service".   Those idiots set the thermostat to 118 outside today.

My son lives in Portland. 

He's had enough of the weather and all the other "stuff" going on there.

He just took a job in Florida and is coming back home.

I was born in Seattle.   We natives get a little down if we have too many consecutive sunny days.

While I was not born in FL, I have lived here for 35 years.  

We get a little down if we get more than a few consecutive hours of rain.

You don’t mind the humidity?

[Adventine 3,201]

It's 95 degrees Fahrenheit in Memphis right now. I was going to add some moisture to my backyard compost pile... but the water that came out of the hose and into the bucket was actually steaming.

 

It's interesting, in a horrible kind of way.

Not really.  Just makes you sweat a little.

 

I'm flying to upstate NY this weekend (funeral) and from past experiences I know when I get back off the plane in FL I'll enjoy that warm humid air hug.

 

Endless summer.

Ha, we don't get them enough here in FL, land of the mosquito being our state's bird.

 

When I was a kid and we would all be outside playing, as soon as someone heard the truck coming they would yell "BUG TRUCK!" Everyone would run for cover until the truck and spray were gone.
