Oh well!

Itsa back to workday today, first full week of 2024. Gulp!

Wasted Fifty

Posted on January 5, 2024 by markd60

Have a programable light switch .that died. I looked at it, 15 years old burnt out spots on the display, no lights no power, seemed dead.

I went out and bought another one. It cost $50.50. I was looking at the new switch and saw a reset button on the front. “Hmmm wonder if my old one has a reset button. Sure enough, it did. I pressed it and vrooooooooom! The switch powered up, I programmed it and it’s been working great!

I couldn’t find the receipt to take the new one back. So now I’m happy to have have a spare $50 light switch.

Happy Friday ! Have a great day and an even better weekend!

R.I.P. Inka

Posted on January 4, 2024 by markd60

I came home yesterday and found Inka, my newest, youngest baby cat dead. Apparently hit by a car. She was still a kitten, a young teenager in cat years. She was feral and just starting to let me pet her. She would have been a great cat. It’s hard to find a cat who’s accepted by the other cats and gets along well enough with the dogs

Inka had a bad rear foot. It was curled and she walked (limped) with the top of her foot on the ground.

All my cats love to lay in the middle of the warm road. I have always feared coming home to find one run over. I wish they’d all just stay inside the fenced yard all the time.

Housecar

I love the vehicle in this picture. Reminds me of the movie/book series Mortal Engines. But not a city on wheels, just a building.

I got this pic from Twitter.

Have a wonderful day!

Day of Firsts

Posted on January 2, 2024 by markd60

First workday of 2024. First post of 2024

Pretty much everything I do today will be the first time this year.

I’m looking forward to 2024. I can’t ever remember looking forward to a new year. Fear of getting older I guess.. This year I’m looking forward to a year of continuing positive growth and increased helpfulness to others.

Have a great year. It’s going to be one!

Last Workday Of 2023

Posted on December 29, 2023 by markd60

today is the last work day of 2023. I have a few things I must get done for next year. Last night I was dreaming I was at work, and I kept asking myself “am I at work or am I just dreaming that I’m at work?” I also dreamed I was freediving and didn’t have enough air to make it to the surface when I open my eyes I wasn’t in the water anymore.

Wishing you, each and every one of you, my favorite of all my mega-trillions of daily readers a Happy, prosperous and healthy New Year!

Sick Day

Posted on December 28, 2023 by markd60

yesterday almost as soon as I got to work, I started coughing and sneezing in my head got all stuffed up. Today I’m taking a sick day because I seem to have a very bad head cold.

I lay down and feel I should be at work, I get up and feel like I should lay down..

Blahhh

Boxing Back To Work

Posted on December 27, 2023 by markd60

after the weekend, after christmas, and after boxing day, it’s time to head back to work. At the beginning of this holiday, it seemed like it was going to be such a long holiday. In hindsight looking back it was so short..

I rebuilt my outdoor workbench, but need more lumber and paint. I painted it with concrete sealer as an undercoat. (I always wanted to do that!) And now I have to paint it pretty.

I’m glad it’s Wednesday, ’cause it sure feels like a Monday. Blah

have a great week!
