Hon...in the bed under the covers watching TV on a cold rainy afternoon and I'm downstairs watching football........Who's the knuckle head here....?????...I already know!!..Don't bother....

Another dreary start to the day....Clouds, rain,wet chilly, barely 50.....went out to get the paper in the driveway.......it was wrapped up in a tied up plastic bag but still so water logged it felt like it weighed more than me..........that's saying something folks!!!!!!!!!!!.........I'm sure it'll dry out by next July................Good thing I saved the Sunday crossword from yesterday..at least that's dry...I know, complaining gets you nowhere fast...........maybe I'll borrow Hon's hair dryer later after the paper stops dripping on the floor.................

We had snow two nights back. Booooh

 

[302BOB]

TMS.......Snow is a four letter word I don't touch with a ..........anything anymore.........It looks so nice falling, but shoveling it is something I can't do anymore......Kids, now-a-days are too lazy to offer to shovel your place................I made my spending money back in the day mowing lawns in the summer and shoveling snow in the winter.........There were no video games back then.........

Dragoon..I know you like the changing seasons in WI as much as me in Ct...............winter is not why I stay here as I get older............no argument from Hon, either...........I'll never forget the blizzard of February 1978....I went to work that morning because nothing was going on at 5AM.........back then , you didn't have all the warnings and other things you have now.The snow started after 9:30 and by 11 it was coming down bad...... That's when I left work and went to my Parent's house to put chains on my rear tires to get home.The heaviest snow I ever seen was falling!!!!!!!!!....Me and Dad got the chains on and I left a little after 12 to make it home.......a usual 15 minute ride..................Driving conditions got much worse as I drove on.....the windshield wipers couldn't keep up with the heavy snow.........I felt brave with the chains on, but I was getting scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!............I finally got off the exit on the highway.........after 2 hrs!!!!!!!!!....only to be in a line of cars waiting to go up a hilly street I needed to travel on.....................chains on your car don't matter if nobody else has them on theirs!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........I finally made it home an hour later, just barely!!!!!!!!!.......and the state was closed down soon after that........Man, I wouldn't wish that ordeal on my worse enemy...........but then again............just so you know......my car that saved me that day was a 1965 Plymouth Fury 3 .....318CU.....Thank God for that car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........over 18" of snow fell with that storm.............. drifts 4-5 ft.. https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/connecticut/blizzard-of-1978-ct/

Still shivering from memories of that 78 blizzard!!!!!!!!..........hindsight ( which is 20/20).....I would have NEVER left the house that day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............I enjoyed having the Boys over yesterday!!! They enjoyed grumpy grandpa as much as I enjoyed them!!!!!!!!!!...........a day I will cherish!!!!!!!!!!!!............Animals are A LOT smarter than us dumb humans give them credit for...........even my squirrels (Skippys) in the back yard.........I even have a red cardinal who answers my call.........for a peanut...............

TGIF for all you folks that ain't retired yet.....that's a blessing I've been enjoying for 8 plus yrs..........." A Permanent paid vacation"......a blessing many will never see either by death or simply not being able to afford leaving their job...........OH Boy I enjoy every moment I have of being retired......it's a gift from God that I cherish EVERY day.....The Boss is just a bonus that I get to enjoy along the way....................Lord Jesus rides with me ................He lets me drive.......................

Tree guys taking down a dead tree across the street...........between the chain saws and wood chipper............no nap for this old geezer today..........now the leaf blower!!!!!!!!!!

Quiet Saturday Morning........not as chilly as the last few mornings....almost 40, compared to 27 a few days ago...Sunshine now, but "they" say clouds will be moving in later...Good Boss day, but I think I'll lay low today...........watch some TV or let it watch me...............................still enjoying Hon's sausage and peppers...........UM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Son by for a surprise visit with the Boys!!!!!!!!! He took the Boss to the gym........good exercise for both, I'm sure.........sixty yrs ago I'd still be up to my armpits with Halloween candy me and my brothers collected.......those were the days........now just a distant memory........maybe I'll get a Hershey bar the next time I go to the grocery store...........I remember Nestle chocolate bars....Full size way back when..........I guess they're just a memory too....................
