I bought this small rake, because it’s small and can get up under the bushes and along the walls better. It was cheap, about $8.

I noticed in the store that the sticker said the rake has poly steel tines. Looked plastic to me. Maybe poly steel means plastic coated metal..

When I got home, I noticed that the sticker said it had 22 tines. I don’t get 22  tines when I count them.
Must be the wrong sticker on the  rake! I don’t care, this rake was exactly what I was looking for. Funny though, wonder if anybody else noticed.

It was a good weekend. We went and saw the movie “Interstellar” on Friday. It was really good. A full three hours long. Saturday was a beach  day and Sunday was a football day.

Have a good week!

Here it is, another Monday.

To me, it was a slow weekend. I pulled some weeds in a shrubbery in the yard. I got about 4/5ths of the way done.

We went to karaoke on Saturday. I didn’t sing. I think it’s stupid.

Yesterday we went and collected some driftwood. After that we went to a sports restaurant and watched the Washington Redskins get pummeled by Tampa. I knew the Skins would stoop down and let Tampa beat them. Like watching a Great Dane get screwed by a toy poodle.

I think I know where my attitude is this morning.

Have a great week! It’ll only get better from here! The Pit of a Monday Morning.

I got nuthin to post about today.

Drawing a blank
Have a good day!

This should be pretty cool
HERE is a link to a probe that’s going to try and land on a comet today, in about 5 hours.

Wednesday morning. pretty clear. lookin good! I have a busy day planned at work today.

Last night it was pretty windy, I was dreaming I was flying in a bouncy plane in bad weather, until the Wife closed the door. Then I dreamed of a little girl who wanted to find this guy with a code box. We found the guy, and I was trying to write down the code, but I couldn’t write it. It was a weird  dream, in that this girl was about 1 year old and one foot tall, could barely  walk and was asking to find someone and something she should know nothing about. The code was 10 symbols, two rows of five, in an old wood box about 2 x 3 inches.

I’m just glad I slept.

This morning it rained from one  big ‘ol cloud, but now it seems pretty nice. All my weather apps say  rain so it’s going to be a car day.

Yesterday I  gathered all my photos from my  cameras, phone, tablet, memory sticks and put them where I keep them on my hard drive. I can’t help but feel like I’m locking them away, never to be seen again when I do that. I wish there was a different solution.

Have a good day!

It’s the same thing every week.
Monday. Work.

It was a good weekend. Saturday the Wife and I went to the Veterans Ball. Last time we went to the Veterans Ball, I wore my old Navy uniform, still fit after about 28 years. This time it was a bit tight. So I wore a suit.

Sunday we went snorkeling.

Above are a couple photos, triggerfish and jellyfish.

And that’s it for today. Gotta feed the dogs and cats and take the garbage out.

Have a wonderful week!

I set a new worlds record for jumping rope this morning. 46 jumps. My old record was 42, twice.
In celebration of this amazing feat, I am taking tomorrow and the next day off from work. Since I was already up, I decided to go ahead and go to work today. This is what I think I look like, jumping rope:

So cool!
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!

The problem is, I don’t know what I want to do.

I don’t recall ever having a job I  enjoyed, one that I wanted to go to work.

When I was a kid, with the exception of “scuba diver”, I never knew “what I  wanted to be when I grew up”, and I still don’t.

I picked Electronics Technician when I joined the Navy because of a Heathkit stereo my Dad and I put together when I was a kid. It was mostly my Dad putting it together. Electronics  Technician seemed vaguely familiar because of that.

And that’s what I’ve been doing since 1979. Never really enjoying it, but making OK money till now.

So what do I want to do?

It doesn’t matter, I still can do whatever I want.  All I can think of that I like is swimming and diving and going to the beach. I could be a diving instructor, but the salary there would more than halve again what I’m making now.

There’s a place here called “Smoothie King”. I think it’s a great place, I think I’d like owning a franchise like that. I’ve looked at franchises, but can’t really find anything I like and could afford.

I just don’t know what I want to do.

Got any ideas?

After seven years of trying, it looks like we may get our first bananas!
One of our plants is getting a flower!

Keep your fingers crossed!

Got home yesterday, Fed the cats, went inside, hollered for dogs to come down.
Sheba came down, Ditto was missing.
I let Sheba out, went upstairs, looking for Ditto. I found him sprawled out on the floor in a puddle of his own pee, one leg in every direction. He couldn’t get up. His hips had given out on him. I helped him up, holding his sides while he walked around bit, getting the circulation going. The wife came home and gave him half an aspirin. I gave him half a Advil. Two hours later, he seemed relatively OK, I helped him downstairs, he spent some time in the yard. He came upstairs and  pooped on the floor. All normal.

Last night at 1 AM he started yelping. He was sprawled out in the living room, but not spread eagle, he looked comfortable. Wife gave him aspirin, I gave him a half an Advil again.

Woke up this morning, it was good to find him in his bed, I gave him another half an Advil. He’s out in the yard now.

I am taking him to the vet today,. When I got home yesterday, he seemed like he was stuck in that position for a long time. I don’t know what the vet’s going to say.

I’m worried about him.
