what did you do today? (2008-2015) (closed)

[Notmuchlonger]

Good day. Stretched out after getting smacked by that car. Still sore. DW and I looked at some cars online. Grunted and went for a ride. Enjoy the sun and looked at cars. Funny how a decent car wreck can wake you up to appreciate the simple things again

10 months to go before I get to have these kinds of days.

Pretty simple day. Got up, made some coffee, fed the mutt. Enjoyed my coffee while surfing the net and then headed to the golf course. Finished my round of golf around 2:00pm(won my bets.. heh heh) and headed to the dollar store to pick up a few things in case Gustav decides to come up my way. Everything I wanted already picked over so I head home chapped. Oh well, got plenty of beer so have all I need to hunker down. Make it home, have lunch and take a nap. Around 5:00pm I go pick up my mutt from my Mother's house, visit for awhile then take the mutt for a walk. Come home, surf the net and then have dinner. Watch a little TV, surf the net some more, take a shower and here I am. Plan to watch a little tv and then hit the sack.

A very basic day with no frills, but never did you see the word "work" describe any moment of my day. Life is good.

I think this will be what I'll be doing at least for the first few months of retirement - coffee, golf, take care of the pet, dollar store, internet, TV, take care of the pet, sleep.

ha, I ran the 30/40 brass through a 7mm die and then a 6.5 die to reduce the necks. Then it was Unique, toilet paper, corn meal and more toilet paper. I touched off 50 in the garage to fire form, and the cops never showed up. I needed ear muffs, so the neighbors must have heard, but they are used to crazy stuff going on around here.

Sorry it took so long to answer, I went walkabout for a few days. P.O. Ackley cooked this one up, but it has not been used much since the days when single shot actions were popular. I had to have the reamer made.

I find I learn a lot doing projects like this, and I enjoy learning.

Thanks! Sounds really interesting and fun.

Saturday:

Went to brother's wedding with (ex) boyfriend who ended up being ok with hanging out with the family and taking pictures. He shared he felt overwhelmed and scared, but still wanted to be together. Went out for dinner after the wedding, watched part of Casino and fell asleep at his house.

Sunday:

Woke up, had coffee and a long conversation with bf (?), showered, made love, and went out for pancakes.
Went shopping for black jackets for new job, looked for a sofa for his place, came home to feed the cat.
Learned to just go with the flow

Last night watched my alma mater in action vs LA Tech. Well uhh.......no need to go to any games this year.

Posted on freecycle and had 20 replies.

Please tell me you live in the country and your nearest neighbor is miles away from your residence... Also please tell me you have a properly setup firing range registered with the EPA for handling the hazardous waste from lead dust and lead solids....

Woke up at 8, took a shower, let the cat in, turned on the computer, had a cup of tea while I read email (with the cat on my lap), went to the grocery store (forgot it was a holiday).

They have a new computer system at the grocery store.

BTW, it's my birthday.

So far you are the only one who apparently "got some."

Hope it works out, going with the flow.

Sept 1 -

Got up.

Made breakfast, cruised the web, read the paper.

Got camera together with shopping bag, walked downtown to the farmer's market. Bought fresh peaches, cantaloupe, onions, had a pastry, read a few magazines at Chapters and came home for lunch.

Now cruising the web more, watching the birds on the bird feeder.

Wishing I had a Golden Retriever.

Life is good.

Happy birthday!

How many candles?

 

[haha]

Yes, Happy Birthday, Kahn!

Ha

 

[Moemg]

Happy Birthday Kahn !

....... went to the grocery store (forgot it was a holiday).

Yeah, I dreaded the thought of going today since it's a holiday and I figured there'd be a hoard of [-]morons[/-] humans pushing & shoving their way through the aisles. But I had to go pick up a few 'extras' for preparing dinner. But to my amazement, the parking lot was nearly empty and there were very few people in the store! That was a major relief since I prefer to go when the employees far out number customers

BTW, it's my birthday.

Happy Birthday,Khan!!!

Happy birthday, Khan!

We were just hanging around yesterday, got a call from an old w*rk buddy. He and the family were at the beach for a day trip, but wanted to come by, see the new place, say hi. We cooked out on the grill, let them crash with us for the night so they wouldn't have to drive home tired. Had a really nice time.

 

[cute fuzzy bunny]

Happy b-day Khan! Here's your red velvet bacon cake...

How many candles?

I've officially been an adult for 40 years.

 

[Life_is_Good]

Got up at 6:00am and began removing bee hives from the undersides of my roof. You need to kill these suckers while they sleep.

After that, I watched some golf on TV until DW reminded me that I was planning to mow the lawn today. So... mow, edge & blow.

Soon I'll be BBQing some steaks and veggies and settling down to watch my beloved Dodgers on TV.

Let's see... tomorrow... maybe I'll play some golf.

Ahhh.... (retired) life is good!

Time to party!

 

[Goonie]

Crawled outta bed about 8:30am, got cleaned up, and headed out to the coffee shop for breakfast & coffee. Then on to the grocery store to pick up a few items needed to prepare dinner. Went back home, read, surfed, and watched a little bit of TV (not much).

This afternoon after getting all rested up from the hectic morning, I fired up the charcoal grill and fixed dinner, plus a bunch of other stuff to toss in the freezer for future lunches & dinners. Grilled three 3/4" thick slabs of bologna, seasoned with garlic and Lawry's Black Pepper Salt, also tossed on three jumbo, all-beef hotdogs. Grilled up three mild Italian sausages, and four jalapeño & onion Italian sausages. Then wrapped and sealed in foil, I did some onions & green peppers smothered in butter with garlic and some Lawry's Black Pepper Salt. Also grilled up a sweet yellow onion whacked in half and smothered in butter with some garlic and then wrapped & sealed in foil.

We polished off 1 mild Italian and 2 jalapeño & onion sausages, and the grilled sweet yellow onions. We also had homemade German potato salad and some sliced cucumbers in a light white sauce of some sort (Mom's secret recipe). All the extra grilled sausages and bologna, along with the green peppers & onions, are in the freezer for future quick microwavable meals.

Now I'm just sitting around digesting, and thinking about having some butter pecan ice cream a little later.
