in years.

Not much to say, maybe next time.

Oh, boy what a happy new year.

Happy New Year!!!

I think this one is going to be great.  Still can't find Dave
wanted a tune up, but oh well, the replaced Vacuum lines
have helped a lot, but i think it would all come together
nicely with a real tuneup

I'll keep it short, don't have a lot on my mind right now.

Where is Dave?

I have been running around getting parts and fluid for the brake
job, but the mechanic is nowhere to be found.

I hope we can get this resolved before thursday.

Toying with the idea of getting Pesto a playmate, the only thing
that is holding me back is the extra cleaning and the extra food.
Immediately doubling my food purchases and kitty litter
purchases does not sound good.

The problem is, i think Pesto is depressed, she sleeps in the
same spot most of the day, only gets up to go to the bathroom
and eat.  I had a laser pointer which i used to get her to chase
around.  I actually got her to play 'Fetch' on a few occasions.
'Fetch' was cool, i would throw a wadded up paper bag and she
would chase it and bring it back and drop it in my shoe,  I
would pick it up and repeat the exercise.  It was hillarious.

So, everybody think good thoughts!  Let's get this Brake work
done.  I am dreaming of a firm brake pedal.  Thanks Dave!

Thanksgiving bonanza

Ah, yes, the post turkey glow is upon me.  Had dark meat turkey with
cornbread stuffing, and cranberry sauce that's it, except for desert.
For desert 2 brownies and a slice of apple pie.

There was an excellent prayer, prayed by the leader of the church I
think.

The quantity of food was outrageous.  There may have been over
100 people present.  The cook insisted that we take 2 boxes of food
each when we left. I got a wing and a bunch of dark meat, didn't get
any stuffing or any mashed potatoes to take home.  That's right all
i ate was turkey stuffing and cranberry sauce, and of course the desert.
For some reason my gut told me to stay away from the gravy.  I don't
know it was probably fine, but the cornbread stuffing was delightful
all by its self.  I think i ate pretty rationally today.

Getting along twards Winter

Ah, hey,

Cam is going to work surveying in west australia.  Scott is busy with his
telecommunications in Texas.  Jocelyn is getting ready to move to
Oklahoma.  Gloria is having a Thanksgiving Dinner at her place.  I don't
know what my Dad is doing for thanksgiving.

Vicki and i will probably eat early on Thursday, i just hope that the
turkey has been cooked all the way through.  I'll try for my favorite a
wing and a few slices of dark meat.  I usually give everything a pretty
good dousing with gravy.  I have a lot of canned peas, was thinking i
could make green peas with pearl onions, and maybe bacon.

Wasn't able to get the car worked on this month, have to shoot for
next month.

Pesto still has a tumor on her right arm/paw/hand, it looks like an extra
toe, but it's not.  I hope it is really benign cuz having it excised would
prove costly.

anyway there's a quick November post.

Farm Town on Facebook

I'm getting a little bored with Farm Town on Facebook.  It seems all
one does there is make money and buy stuff.  I guess i should be
working on making it all look attractive and symetrical, but that just
doesn't tickle my fancy.

Now that i have several million in Farm Cash, I can buy just about
anything i want.  The only exception being the green money stuff.
I don't know how one aquires green money, it just magically
appears and there's never enough of it.  Green money is mostly
derived of people actually paying real cash into the game.

That seems just a little silly, so without putting your own money
into the game you can get about 1/2 of everything, everything you
can buy with your farm cash, has an equal that you can buy with
green cash.

I have planted tea, coffee, cocoa, pineapple, rice, rosemary,
oranges, cows, chickens, olives, lemons, and it's the same old
ordeal you plant, harvest, store, plow, go fishing.  Build new
shops, cut down trees, and the only reward is buying stuff.
Yes, you can compare with other people, but they all invest more
time and have more elaborate farm setups than you do.

I think i get more out of RSS than playing Farm Town on
Facebook, at least i learn something when i RSS. /rant
