Happy St. Patrick's Day

 Top o' the mornin' to you, ladds and lasses!  Here's one of my all-time favorite jokes, that just happens to be an Irish joke.

Paddy O'Bryan was not home at his usual hour, and his wife Kathleen was fuming, as the clock ticked later and later. Finally, about 3:00 AM she heard a noise at the front door, and as she stood at the top of the stairs, there was her husband, drunk as a skunk, trying to navigate the stairs.

"Do you realize what time it is?" she said.

He answered, "Don't get excited, I'm late because I bought something for the house."

Immediately her attitude changed, and as she ran down the stairs to help him, she said, "What did you buy for the house, dear?"

His answered, "A round of drinks!"

Under The Weather Again

I am under the weather, literally and figuratively.  I made a full recovery from my stomach bug, and now have a head cold.  And we are expecting bad storms with high winds tonight.  I don't feel bad - just dealing with head congestion.  

Stay tuned. 

Back In Action

  I was under the weather yesterday - I caught a stomach bug and had a rough Tuesday night, and didn't get much sleep. So I stayed home yesterday and rested. I ate some chicken soup broth last night and feel much better and rested today.  I even felt good enough this morning to get back to painting bottle caps.

Update From The Compound

 I am very happy t report that the big freezer is still working fine.  That is a load off my mind. 

Update From The Compound

 I was relieved to find that when I adjusted the temperature on the freezer that all is back to normal on it.  I know  - I usually say "normal" is just a setting on the washing machine.  But everything was still frozen.  As I said yesterday, lesson learned. 

A Not So Amusing Morning

 I did a stupid and careless thing on Friday - I put something in the upright freezer in the garage and didn't pay attention, and when I went out this morning to get something out of the freezer, the door hadn't closed all the way.  The foods that were on the shelves on the door were all thawed out, but the rest of the foods in the freezer seemed to still be frozen. 

Lesson learned. 

An Amusing Morning

 I went to my weekly trip to Kroger this morning, and I sure was glad I took along my raincoat.  As I was leaving the store, it was pouring down.  I am almost ashamed to say I sat in the parking lot for ten minutes before I left to watch people running in and out of the store in the pouring rain.  It sure was entertaining.
