it's my favorite home now. It's like being on a permanent vacation.
Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

Morning! Coffee time again? Lol. Yeah, black and strong, think I'll drink the whole dang pot! Just like every morning.
Good times. Youngest son came over yesterday afternoon, gave me a 'hand' fighting the fight on my bucket seats. Lotta hard pulling, then slipped right on...and looks great, so far! Makes for cheers, and another whiskey hit.
And two of my grandkids (his), spent the night...great seeing them.

Finally got some cooler weather here but it's still hitting 90 in the afternoon. At least the humidity is a good deal lower and overnight temps are in the high 60's. That cools the shop down pretty nicely and it will stay cool for out there for several hours.
And gotta say one more thing about smoking and hopefully, I won't anymore. I notice many say "well, such and such lived to be well into their 70's or even their 80's and more so they still lived a long life." Well, it's not so much that they made it to their later years but it's more about the quality of life in those later years. An 'elderly' (I'm getting there....well, 66 might already be there) friend passed away recently at 82. Not bad for being a heavy drinker in her early years but smoked heavily all her life starting as a teen. In her last 10+ years she dragged an oxygen bottle everywhere she went and relied on breathing machine treatments for quite a few years too. She got to where she didn't want to leave the house because she feared running out of oxygen but when she was at home, she feared the electricity would go off during one of her breathing treatments. For some reason, that happened in her neighborhood quite often and she would go into panic mode. Also whenever the news started talking about a storm coming in, it was panic mode PLUS. I'm just glad I never got hooked....

Just picked up my morning coffee from my 'girlfriend' at the local BP Station, and she remembers exactly how I like it. Dropped my sister and niece off at the airport on the way to work today - niece is competing down south in a National Ice-skating champs. She's already North Island champ for her age, so hoping for big things.

Yard-bird made me chuckle over my first coffee for the morning. Thanks Bud.
We have a name for KFC over here - Dirty Bird. In fact that became my nickname with a bunch of builders I worked with a few years ago....because every time they had chicken for lunch I would laugh, and also my wicked (some say vulgar) sense of humour.

Yep we started calling them that, because at our place as a kid,Yard-bird made me chuckle over my first coffee for the morning. Thanks Bud.

they'd always be in the yard, roaming around & pecking seeds
or eating bugs out of the yard, it just kind of stuck...
Hence, the nick name 'Yard Bird' for chickens...
I do love me some good fried chicken...
Our KFC is Col. Kluck {with a K}
we also had an outlet called
General Chicken, we called Gen. Cluck {with a C},
some really stupid/lame stuff, I know...
Popeye's Chicken was just 'ghetto bird', back then,
I won't go into the reasoning here...
They are far better now a Louisiana Cajun Cuisine now,
not catering to the East 14th & 98th st. East Oakland
types anymore, they use to be...

Oh, by the way, my wife nixed the name Marie Antoinette for the little chick that got smacked in head, she named it Angel because it survived.
