There's a new house goin in next door

Came home from work on Wednesday night and noticed right off that something was different about the vacant lot next door. Well, I'll be danged - it aint vacant no more. Not sure how long it will be before they move it, but in the words of Princess, they sure do have a ..."nice hole in the yard that can only be filled by you"!

I found a "Stroke Victim" photo

I was just sitting here screwin around before the auction and thought I'd clean up some of my computer files. Well, I found a recent photo of the Missus after a dentist visit and dang, don't it make me laugh!! Makes me miss her all the more.

Well, it's about time to head to the auction barn and bidem to the moon.

A really good amateur Quartet

Here's a video of some good ole barbershop quartet music I rather enjoy.



I think I'm beginning to get the hang of this ole bloggin stuff.

Had a great time with the in-laws last night and we pretty much giggled the night away. We headed to the airport about 2 hours early this morning (no surprise here) and we had no trouble getting through the process. I surely did enjoy the visit and now I have a near new Cadillac to play with for the weekend. Woo-hoo!

But I'm still missing the Missus.

Ba-Conrad has arrived!!

Day 3 of missing the Missus - For those who have already heard, then this is old news, but my dear Mrs Dr. and Hubby brought another love bug into the world. Haven't yet seen pictures of the little nipper but the Missus says he's just a speck and looks like his sister Princess. Gads, another irresistible grandkid for me and the Missus to spoil!.

Anyway, I've had a full day of gub-ment and some time to work on the household to-do list, but now I'm spent so it's time to crack open a cold one, pop up some corn, and see who gets voted off American Idol.

The in-laws are coming tomorrow night so I might miss a post. But I'll be thinking of you.

A day at the dentist

Just another day at the office but an early departure for a dentist appointment to get a filling. It wasn't all that bad but I laughed when I looked in the mirror. It reminded me of the Missus and our "stroke victim" photo when Trixie and company came to town for a visit.

I have a picture of the garage "work in progress" but I can't seem to get this dang technology figured out.

Maybe tomorrow.

Molten Cheese what?!? races?

Tis the first in a series of posts as I while away the days until I am reunited with My Sweet Baboo.

The conversation last night with Miss Judy was full of fun and way outa there concepts. Something about cheese slices on the grill that turn into flying objects that somehow turns into a race. Are you kiddin me?! Oh for pete sakes (as if Pete had anything to do with this?) But the conversation turned into coming up with names for new rock and roll or Indy bands. You know, Swirling Molten Cheese Gas, Busted Bran Muffins - go ahead, reply with a food related band name if you want. I know you got one in ya and it might be a giggle.

I'm kind of partial to Fake Ficus. I know it's not food but it just has a naughty and nice ring to it, don't you think? You know, like "Oh Fetch!"

Well, I need to get out into the garage and start the clean out, but here's to the Misses and them lucky grandkids who have the best darn Grandma in the whole wide world.

Dialin it back - just a bit

To all who are wondering just what the heck happened to me, well - I had a revelation that perhaps I should dial it back. Going to auctions twice a week and all the family stuff going on (not to mention my day job that tends to take it's toll) were clearly starting to wear me out. Something had to give and the auction gig was the obvious choice. I still don't have 2 cars in the garage but the piles of stuff aren't growing. And I still enjoy the Saturday auction, just not all day - but I'll be home more on Thursday nights.

And I actually had some time to do something else - which was having the boys (and girls) over for a little Xbox Halo-pizza party this last Friday night. What A Hoot! I gave the "Bdiddy" a run for his money and I truly enjoyed hearing how "that danged old Don-o-Death got me again". I certainly hope we can do this again and maybe even get a third TV-console-team set up. it's all good!

Well, it's time to get started with the "post-auction assessment" and make a load so you all take care and I'll be back later.
