What did you accomplish today?

[2rollingstoned]

I can't stand those who just think book smarts means smart. You need both.

Honestly, I have a little bit of college and can run circles around this civil engineer I married.

I grew up without much, and was a single parent, so I had to learn to repair things on my own if at all possible.

I have a ton of common sense, grew up with farmers that were some of the smartest people I've ever known in my life. They had 8th grade educations and were quick witted and worked with their hands. Growing, building, repairing.

I honestly had to get out of the car in the rain, wearing a dress and waded thru water over to an air machine to air up a tire on my car. He sat in the car all tidy and dry. It's like I am the man of the house and I can never get used to this after 6 years of marriage and 10 years together. He goes to work every day and is a fabulous provider but that's where it ends.

For the first few years together I bet I heard he was a civil engineer a dozen times a week. Like starting off a sentence like "Since I'm a civil engineer" - and then try to mansplain shit to me like I'm a dumbass.

He's great at math and I'm not. That's about all he seems to know more about than I do. I've figured out how to fix and repair so many things since we married and bought this house 6 years ago!


Might as well smoke a joint and get on with my day!

The stone floors and counters are de luxe but the weight penalty would sit all wrong with me.

I was trying to post one that looked like his kitchen with the dark hardwood but the pic was too blurry.

I got cut shitloads of checks yesterday from the insurance. I haven’t been this rich in a long time But i’m homeless? Wtf!

Insurance cant find me a place to rent. I cant either. Mainly due to my dogs, but add in that so many other people are needing housing too. We’re talking people having to rent down in Sacramento, about an hour and twenty away from burnt down P-town Those assholes in Sactown still wont open up their rentals to me because my three dogs even though insurance would take care of them bigtime. Fuckers.

Haven’t completely worked out the details with the adjuster, but looks like its gonna be trailer time here soon. Most likely the longest 5th wheel trailer I can find. Might be cool for a while.
Buying a new piece of land where I’ll put that trailer on and live while building new house. In fact i’m leaving to go meet with the realtor soon and most likely putting in a full offer.

You are welcome to park your RV on my farm in Grass Valley until you find a place. Plenty of free water, I have a porta potty service every 2 weeks they can pump out your toilet or u can use the porta potty on site. 19 acres and your dogs will have the run of the place. Please consider it buddy....

@Aeroknow you might be trimming for 6 months straight if you take him up on it. Let us know if you need an emergency extraction.

@Aeroknow I am so sorry to read about the fires and your homeless situation. Have you considered buying some land and building you a home from some shipping containers? There are some pretty cool ones at less cost and you could own instead of having to rent and have a place for your sweet doggies!

This is just an example there 1000's of designs but its more affordable than most house prices today.

Can I just say I HATE single handle faucets! Stupid moen and their cartridge crap goes bad too often. Ready to change the kitchen sink back to two handles + a sprayer. The lever has been going bad again for a few weeks and now won't even turn on. I don't have a dishwasher so this is a huge pain in my ass trying to get the dishes done.

My hubs is highly educated but is lazy and has to pay to get anything and everything fixed. He literally can't seem to fix anything so its usually up to me. If I can't fix it I have to hire somebody to get it done. I've been looking at videos and think I can actually change all that out. I want to change the bathroom sink faucets because they are some kind of brass crap that is ugly and tries to turn green a lot.

Probably just gonna go pick out new ones and have a pro install them. I already take care of this whole house and yard cause hubs is too busy sleeping in the chair after work and all weekend snoring with his mouth open. Sometimes I try to throw pistachios in his wide open mouth but always miss so far

From your background experience I am confident that you can install a new faucet.

Most of today's designs do not require specialty tools to install and the water supply line hoses
can be bought to length so installation is very low hassle.

DIY can save big $$$ over calling in a plumber.

It's important to ware the proper work clothes while under a sink.
Professionals have an image to uphold ya know.

Very nice crack.
painting today

Just painted right over this pencil sketch ,posted below, and I like the painting better. So it worked out pretty well.

 

[2rollingstoned]

@lokie if my ass looked like that I would just stay naked. Now I'm old fat and broke down! hah

Watching hubs snore in his recliner while I listen to music and get stoned. Oh wait this is every night LOL.....

I've accomplished a lot today....

Christmas decoration on the mailbox, awesome wreaths I made on the doors, blue candles in the windows.

Sprouting some blue cheese, cheese candy & sour diesel.

Cleaned out more of the basement and put up shelving to organize stuff.

Ordered a new coffee maker on Black Friday - they delivered it today just in the box it came in. No outer box or packaging to cover it up. Postman packed the damned mailbox full of two bagged packages with clothes I ordered for the hubs. Then notice they also put a box on the porch. Why not put all the packages on the porch? Mailbox so damned crammed tight I had to wiggle it all out then get the mail stuffed in the back.

Tis the season ho ho ho

Happy birthday bro

 

[whitebb2727]

Yeah I meant fought..... my ability to spell is way off, having a very strong southern accent doesn't help when sounding out words either..... but to be honest I'm just mostly illiterate.

My middle brother was killed in a car wreck, after a long day of drinking and partying . It was on a sketchy backroad at a very high rate of speed. It completely changed the compose of the entire family, long story.
My oldest brother drank himself to death, after several near death ordeals he locked himself in his trailer and drank liquor till it was over. In a weird twist of events my step dad found them both.
Mom was never the same after my middle brother passed and in '11 when she passed she had been ready for to go for a long time.
I'm the only one left, no aunt's, uncle's , only me, no one to share memories with..... really sucks at times like this ..... holidays and all.

You are welcome to come eat Christmas dinner with my family if you are in the area.

It's strange. Blood can be distant and people not related can become family.

You have friends here.

I actually have a couple people here, mainly one, that know more about my personal life than people in my real life.

And I know that my riu family is a special group, I really love you all.

Any time.

Got some beautiful mountians trails, caves and fishing spots to roam around.

Enjoy the grandkids my friend. That in itself is something special. I didn't have grandparents except one grandma that I didn't grow up around or see much. I was fortunate enough to get to be around her the last few years of her life.

I'm lucky enough to have quit a bit of my family around but I've lost a number of friends I considered brothers and sisters.

Much love here as well.

Spent Wednesday with a dude from my platoon who came to visit. Caught up over a bottle of Templeton Rye. I’m not much for Rye because they’re usually more spicy and burn-y, but it’s fairly smooth.
