Good morning chilly hilly...I was disappointed to wake up to cloudy skies, yet again! Of course waking up is a good thing, but I did have my heart set on some sun, son! The weather app on my smartalecky phone last night SAID it would be sunny all day. Not only that, last time the dogs went out last night, there were stars and a full "worm" moon just a grinnin at me....my heart was singing "and the skies are not cloudy all day...".
Dont rightly know why the full moon is called a "worm" moon this month, maybe the worms come out and dance or something. If I thought for one moment that they had anything to do with it being cloudy today, well, I just wont like them anymore...not that I ever really liked them in the first place, just saying!
I still remember that big ol woim I dissected in biology, either at Black, Or Waltrip, or at Sam, cant remember, but I didnt like dissecting anything cept maybe a cheesburger and fries and vanilla malt, and a couple O twinkies and hosstess cupcakes. It took the longest time to get the formaldehyde smell out of my nose and brain, like about 30 years.
Well, maybe good ol sol will come a calling today sometime. Probably around the time it sets! But, any sun is better than no sun eh son! It was a chilly 46 again this mornin! Hey Kay, didnt I tell you not to put away that eclectric blanket and fuzzy pink slippers and winter bathrobe? I knew old man winter was going to wheeze our direction again, still might again before Easter.
I keep asking Diane whether Easter is early this year or late, as it does have a bearing on the weather. And like always, I forget what she says. So I'll ask her yet again! She knows all the days of the Christian calendar.
Easter is on the 16th of April this year, and I think that is late, maybe! Spring, howsomever, is supposedly on the 20th of March! I have moved spring up to the 18th, day of the party, with special dispensation from the head monk and mother superior, up here at the our lady of Chappell Hill monastery, brother Jack and sister Dixie Belle respectively. SO, spring will be sprung on the morn of March 18th starting at 4 AM, because that's the time brother Grumpy, me, arises!
Dang, coffee got cold, yet again...hold on, I'll be back...(that was my best Terminator accent. good huh?)
My father-in-lawr was a pharmacist, and he always said that he drank coffee cold and cold drinks warm due to the nature of his bidness. I dont like hot drinks cold or cold drinks hot, no no no! That's one of the reasons I dont drink but one or two beers a year. I guzzle whatever I'm drinking, because I'm thirsty, not because of any properties the drink may have. If it's beer, I go to sleep soon after I finish my first bottle, and maybe half into the next one.
Once asked "what kind of beer do you drink", best reply, "COLD". I like a beer when it is first pulled out of the ice and water of an Igloo cooler, pop the top, and drink it all down. Cant stand warm beer, or beer above freezing. So, if you see me drinking a beer on Saturday, look for me to fall asleep soon after.
That's what us old me do best, fall asleep in the chair watching TV, or reading the paper, if you can get one, or a book! That's one thing I am so glad of, is not really liking TV, or at least what's on it. Not a whole lot on it of much substance like "Pupppy poopin in the house" ? "Want better erections"? "Get that Brazilian butt excersize"....
For one, Our pups dont poop in the house, and never have, and as for the 2nd one, well, you gets what you can, and as far as a brazilian butt, I'm not sure what that means! If said butt came with a mop and a broom and did windows, then it's a brazilian butt for me for sure. Who watches that stuff? No me!
I have watched the cooking shows, you know, Pioneer woman, Trisha Yearwood Brooks, Beat Bobby Flay, Gaida...with all the great cooking Gaida does, how does she stay so thin?
I havent really learned anything from the cooking shows, except I that I dont know how to cook! I have learned a few names of things, which of course I cant remember what they are now...oh, marscapone, that's one of the names! But I thought they were talking about Al Capones sister. Lots of names that they never explained exactly what it was they were making! One of the other things I've gotten from the cooking shows, THEY MAKE ME HUNGRY...!!!
I do like to watch the KIDS baking shows. Those are fun. Some of these kids are just 8 years old, and can already whip up a 7 course dinner you could serve in a 5 star restaurant. The host would ask them how long they've been cooking, and their reply, "since I was a kid"....Well, that's how long I've been EATING. Or, one of the hosts asked how old each child was, and one of them said "8 and three quarters"....I remember as a kid we would always say "8 and a half" , so we would appear to be more grownup.....I guess I'm 71 and 3 quarters, but really would rather be between 4 to 10 years old...ah the golden years!
I know I've said I dont like TV, or watch it that much, but when you get here on Saturday, we have 6 TVs, and one of them the size of the one at the Dome. 6 TVs? Yup. Well, once I've updated, or upgraded, it's so hard for me to get rid of anything that still is useful, even if it does just sit on a shelf, "I could use it if I wanted to"....
I'm just ramblin arent I? Well, you ever know me to do anything other than ramble? I think not! Been up since 4, fed the pride and the pack. Pack's been out doing their bidness, prides been in the litterboxs stinkin up the joint, now all's quiet and everyone has gone back to bed, cept me, ol Grumpy! So in lieu of carrying on a conversation with anyone here, all yall are elected, so pay attention, there will be a test !
Ok, time sign off, seems the pride and pack are up, and even her ladyship Diane is stirring around. I'm already on my 2nd pot of coffee...
keep the sun at your six and ride boldly ride...
