It's a box cutting day. Other than groceries, I do most all of my shopping online, so I accumulate a lot of boxes. Periodically, I grab a contractor bag, park myself outside, and cut up boxes for a while. I chose this Ashton bent brandy because it has a nice, big bowl to puff on while I'm working.

I used to do that. THen our County run recycle center closed down. So, off to the land fill they went. Smaller ones I burn in the wood stove.

If you are ever in Vegas and driving, give a few seconds when your light turns green. I have never see so many red light runners in one place, and a good part of the reason is exceeding the posted speed limits, they cannot stop in time.
The formula one races on the strip are about a week away, but the locals live it year round.

I've gotten into the habit of doing that everywhere especially at speedway and Kolb I'm tucson to many idiots think yellow means press 9n the gas and gun it.

I’m enjoying the quiet day as my wife left early this morning to run the local election and won’t be home until very late.

Beautiful day here in NE Texas. I can't believe the colors of the trees in my yard. It's like a kaleidoscope of greens, reds and oranges. Time for the afternoon nap.

We've been posting record high temps this week -- mid 80s. Cool front about to move through, though. Rain all day tomorrow, then highs in the mid 50s.

Ugh. Can’t put it off any longer. Must trudge off to town for some needed supplies. 30 days since last supply run so not too bad. I need to arrange an airlift.

How true. Pshaw! Back on the home place from the Cowboy Capitol of the World— as claimed by seventy-‘leven other towns. (Actually it has a pretty good claim, being the closest railhead for the first Texas herds. Anyway 4700 residents swear it’s true.) Not too bad today as the camping season along the lake is pretty much over. Splurged so that I may not have to return ‘til next year. The necessaries, plus a case of medicinal whiskey, should help me hold out.

As predicted, it’s a soggy day here in the MidSouth, with the temperature dropping steadily all day.

Ah poppies from the Golden Triangle. Savoring Woopsy! Fudge stripe cookies with Ninja Chihuahua along with a cup of black coffee as my day gets closer to the end and the bed calls to me.

The photo is from a field in France where something happened long ago. Poppies are in remembrance of the fallen in WWI. Worn on the lapel on 11/11.

Egad! My AH 100-4 had a Laycock OD. What a trip to get it up to speed and then shift into high, in reverse. Needless to say no sawing of the wheel.

I've got 2. One is just for spare parts, though.

Looks like I'll be laying off the pipe for a while. Noticed while brushing my teeth this morning that my tongue is badly discolored. Only possible causes I can think of are the pipe or the rooibos tea I've been drinking. Gonna lay off both for a while and see what happens.

At the original Bridge on the River Kwai during Veterans Day/Remembrance Day/Armistice Day. The ground that I’m standing on was one of the POW camps built along the Railway of Death. LEST WE FORGET.

Thank you for sharing that,Ted. A pretty brutal experience for the troops to endure.

Looking at PayPal transaction history… Two charges for $30 to two different people, both cancelled. And another one sent that went through as a gift.
I asked the wife…she wanted to have a custom sticker made for me by some guy advertising on Facebook. After he contacted her back, he told her to send $30 to another guy because he was doing the shipping, and she told me what a flake he was, and all the difficulties.
I asked if the third individual she was told to send it as a gift, she said yes….🙄
If you send money as a gift, PayPal clearly warns you not to do so if you are buying goods or services, once you click “send” it’s a one way trip.
Goodbye $30.00 I am just glad that it was for only $30.00.
