- won't Michael try coconut after a 16 year hiatus? He swears he hates it, but tastes change. Just take a bite of something, dang it! He said I smelled good after using coconut body butter..I just had to point out it was coconut. HA!
-did I wait till it's 85 degrees with 86% humidity to start tearing off the front porch?
The thermometer registered 115 on the porch (full sun/portal to Hell).
-did Michael get my lawn swing (squee!) and then spend 2 hours in the rain, shirtless, putting it together? I said it could wait, it was fine, etc. This made sense, somehow, in his ManBrain.

| Now you understand why we need to level the swing! |
-are Voodoo and Irie the only dogs that will get their butts out of bed in the morning with me? Strider and Henry are still in bed...9:36 am! Half the day is gone! ;)
-did I find a Dobson Fly in my dishwater? I almost had heart failure.
They are giant and terrifying. The females can draw blood. They spray you with foul-smelling goo.

I'm out the door to get to work...
The junk guys are finally coming tomorrow. Need to get the porch finished so we can start rebuilding.
Doing a tiny porch..it's just too damned HOT out there unless it's dark and/or winter to enjoy sitting!
Today on the work list:
Gather stuff for junk guys in one easy-to-load spot
Tear off the rest of the porch
Figure out what lumber is needed for new micro-porch
Weed garden
Seed the back yard where brush was cleared
Clear brush from the edge of field
you're about the 3rd blogger i've seen that is raising cain about being un-abel (ha ha, get it?!) to load photos...
ReplyDeleteSorry about your blogger troubles. I hope they resolve it soon. Good luck with your porch project too...stay hydrated!
ReplyDeleteI can't load pics right now either. Blogger has been very frustrating for a couple months now!
ReplyDeleteYou would think dishwashers would be water tight, so how would a big ole bug like that get in there. I had never heard of them but when I followed your link I found they are the result of a mature hellgrammite. We used to fish with those when I was a kid. Scary sticking your hand into that bucket to get one out though!
ReplyDeleteSame problem with pictures for me too!
ReplyDeleteIt also wont let me post comments (even on my own blog) unless I'm using Google Chrome as a browser (not microsoft internet explorer).
Yup, no picture posting here, either.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried to upload any pics today. Hmpf. Wish Blogger would get it together.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the deal is with Blogger. I have been having multitudes of trouble with them for a month.
ReplyDeletei've had so many problems with blogger too...so frustrating, but for the past 3 posts...it's cleared up...i hope your troubles go away quickly...
ReplyDeleteanyway, sounds like you've got lots of other stuff to keep your mind off blogger...
Thanks for stopping by. Rural WV appears to be an interesting place-- what with stinkhorn mushrooms that NEED to be handled with exam gloves, giant flies and June weather that would make Satan look for AC.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that weeding and building. Your weather is too hot to use your porch and ours is almost always too cold.
Blogger works okay with Goggle Chrome. No problems---so far.
ReplyDeleteI can load photos but have experienced other glitches with Blogger.
ReplyDeleteDang...I would have liked to have seen that big bad fly!
I'm on Firefox. Madi and Mom just told me to clear my cookies. That worked, so you might want to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteGee honey bunch, I don't know. I haven't created a post this afternoon. Sorry!..:)JP
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day, Sam~! :)
ReplyDeletehave a great mid week! Don't work too hard in that heat! Yikes I am glad you did not post a photo of that fly thing!
ReplyDeleteKAT
Laughing at the swing comment. Husband here decided to mow my walking path... While in the throws of an allergy attack. Men.
ReplyDeleteYa gotta love 'em.
Dorks.

Save yourself for building the porch in shade if possible. Oh, yeah, you don't need to be out in that heat of the day. I love your lists! I do this too because I can't concentrate, or finish. Sounds like a compulsion, but we women know how to get the job done. Sorry guys. Some of us are tough stock, what more can I say?
ReplyDeleteno problem with pics but other frustrations with Blogger...oh well,,this too shall pass. Looking forward to reading your past and future posts.
ReplyDeleteNo comment on the blogger troubles. I don't want to jinx myself.
ReplyDeleteI really think Michael, Strider and Henry should come live here.
DANG that's one huge fly!!! :O
ReplyDeleteAnd that's an incredibly cute pic of Voo and Irie - they need a hug and treats from me. ;)

blogger gave me that photo uploading headache on wednesday.....arrghhh
ReplyDeleteand oh crap that bug is gross !
what is wrong with you posting the shot of the dogs small, and the insect large?! our needs on this end are simple. cuteness, big. grossness, little.
ReplyDelete;o)
ewwwwww...for the big a$$ fly and
ReplyDeleteewwwww...for the pain in the a$$ Blogger has been for the past month
That flying bug looks to me like he has a Mohawk?
ReplyDeleteI like both your dogs. They are very nice.
Nice blog, that is one awful looking fly! Your pups are cuties.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly are a busy girl. B
