Walking through the laundry room, I heard something scratching inside the furnace. Bindu heard it too. We went to investigate. I determined the sound was coming from behind our 50-year-old gas furnace’s removable panel. I put my hand on the handle, and Bindu stationed herself at my feet to catch whatever might fall out and […]
I’m uploading pics of my new tattoo in the background, but since I’m on dial-up out here in the sticks, it’ll take forEVer. And yes that is my ass crack, thank you. (If you’ve never had a tattoo: the reason it looks like this is that it’s new, which means it’s still a little swollen, […]
When I went out to leave for work this morning, the Jeep wouldn’t start. I had to walk up and down the hill between the house and the barn several times. First to find the charger. (In the barn. Not in the garage or honey house.) Then I had to find an extension cord. (Not […]
Brett rented a tractor this weekend and fixed the driveway. Turns out the culvert itself was totally fine; it was just that Nature had decided not to use it and instead had made a new path under the driveway… a much lower path, which is why the pond’s been so low for the past two […]
It rained yesterday and much of the night. Our driveway – a culvert between a pond and a runoff – collapsed. Now there’s a hole smack dab in the center that’s about three feet wide and twelve feet deep. Do you have any idea how much it will cost to FIX THIS?!?!? Arrrrgh!
Sunday morning, we got up at four AM. I know, I know! You’re right! That IS gross! We did it so we could drive to Nebraska, meet a total stranger, and pick up a flathead motor and tranny that Brett bought off of eBay. Four. In. The. Morning. By the time the sun was up […]
Apparently nothing’s happening, because I haven’t blogged in days. Other than the new old-fashioned deep freeze that Brett and Jimbo unloaded into the driveway, life is normal. I’m LimeWiring for Prince and Erykah Badu in the background. With a big freezer, maybe I could become that Organized Woman who makes several lasagnas and freezes a […]
First of all, today’s Chicken’s birthday. For some reason, this means that Brett and I went out to the Dew Drop last night and Drank. Our. Dinner. (Several times over, to judge by the way I feel today.) We didn’t get home ’til nearly ten – on a work night! I drank so much I […]
Yesterday afternoon, while I was helping Mr. Brett set the three remaining columns on the porch, I found out that he was havin’ a hankerin’ for Mt. Hamill chicken. We left for town around 4:30 and met up with the 1-Stop Rental crew for a bit. Jason was in the middle of balancing the till, […]
In a fit of foresight and organization, I went outside this afternoon to disinter the Jeep from its icy cocoon. I haven’t driven it since the ice storm(s) and snow, so it was basically frozen to the ground and entombed in ice with a blanket of snow. I had to kick the handle several times […]
