I love carrots

I am cooking carrots, onion, sweet potato, potatoes, rice, kidney beans in vegetable stock right now. They will be my dinner and probably breakfast and maybe lunch tomorrow - God willing.

The family not raised whatsoever no rules eating at the dinner table for the first time since years. Don't start eating wait and don't walk away from the table. Time for cigs sigh.

When I was a child my family had regular times for meals and we all sat together and ate our meals (except for lunch, that was usually at school, work, or home depending on one's age).

Yes me too but then my dad had the bunch in control. My brother cleaned up here. They normally eat behind the computer. He said he could see what they ate the last weeks, pizza here, potatoes there.

I saw one or two episodes of that comedy

They're not used to it. With theor dad they can also just walk away when tbey're finished. Don't know if it's smart to all of a sudden implement rules. It annoys me that they don't just listen. I never had anything to say and just did what I was told. It was always horrible, eating.

and my ex called me and said I had to raise the kids and he had to shut up. Yes ex the obedient ex wife said. Sometimes I envy my brother who simply always staid single.

Just stripped and cleaned another clock movement. This is one from a few years back that sat languishing in a drawer, an ebay purchase that never quite got as far as being finished. I fished it out and it was pretty gross, so I gave it a quick wipe and saw that at least some oil would come off the brass plates. The plates took 25 minutes in the ultrasonic cleaner and now mostly shine. The parts that were a dull dark gray are now nice and shiny brass and steel. Tomorrow's job is to get the springs out of the barrels, clean it all up and reassemble it.

This one is going to be a bigger project than the previous one. The previous one was a complete clock that just needed to be stripped, cleaned, reassembled and lubricated. This one doesn't have a case, a pendulum (I need to work out how long to make it, then make it), or hands. So it could keep me out of trouble for a while to come. I don't know what I'm going to do with it once it's complete, I may keep it as a memento but I may also look to sell it. My wife gets annoyed at having too many chiming and striking clocks in the house. Maybe when the basement is finished as my man cave it will live down there, along with many many others.

waking up

 

[Lamb]

I'm getting ready to go out for day 4 of working on the landscape in front of our house. Today I'm going to be grading the dirt so that rain will drain away from the house once we put the plastic down and then the mulch. I have to be careful of where the wiring is that leads out to the septic pump though! Don't want to chop something I shouldn't!

 

[psalms 91]

Dont envy you that is a lot of work

No, but I probably should even if only as a source of cheap learning material.
