Random Facts About You # 53

It rained last night and this morning.

Now there's blazing sun but we're supposed to get something like 3" of rain yet today.

My son, his wife, and all 4 granddaughters made it to Panama City Beach, Florida. They will spend the week there for softball tournaments and beach time in between games. With the older granddaughter and the triplets on separate teams it'll be tricky but if they get eliminated from the games early on, that gives them more beach time.

 

Are you going to Fla on your vaca, Aeri?

Happy 4th everybody!

I'm fixing to make my very own 4th firecrackers.

 

yes actually I am heading down to the American side of the island to watch the 4th of july spectacular fireworks

they look pretty crappy from my side but what the hey

 

Our daughter is going to see fireworks with a friend of hers so we're not going. Fine with me. It's kind of more of a pain in the ass than it's worth in my town anyway.

Going to be watching tonight's GD show online (on tv but with the laptop hooked up) in a little while. Anyone else watching tonight? If you have Sirius, you can listen to the show for free on the GD channel.

 

It'll be here at the Hotel Twilight Zone California for me tonight...

I have my firecrackers going though, I promise. lol

This is a real different 4th than others have been.

2 friends of mind died exactly one week apart this past week...one Monday before last and the other one was killed by his father the preacher this past Monday...I'd probably go over there and celebrate if it weren't for all that. anyway...hopefully not tmi.

just saying being here with the cats and Mama (in the TZ) is ok too.

 

Whoa! That's crazy! Sorry to hear that.

 

damn lynn...i'm sorry to hear that ....take it easy, ok?.....no firecrackin and driving....

 

Yes Lynn; I'll be going to PCB also.

Hopefully my daughter and her girlfriend can keep the arguing to a minimum. They got in a squabble tonight about my daughter wanting to hang out with her friends and the girlfriend not wanting to hang out with them. The killer is that we all just found out the friends are staying pretty much right across the street from us on vacation. I knew the girls would squabble with the amount of alcohol that will be ingested during vacation week, but I did not know it would start a week before we leave.

 

i stepped in a small hole a few years back and strtched my achilles tendon...it seemed to heal up ok but now it suddenly seems like it decided to shrink in length

its really anoying especially in the mornings

 

I know the feeling Bbad. The back of my leg feels like it shrinks anytime I'm not up moving. The joint doesn't cause me to limp as badly as that whole muscle thing, until I get them stretched back out.

 

Plumbing question -

My whole house shakes when the clothes washer is filling. WTF?

 

One of the lines need to be strapped down... too long a span without supports. It's called "hammering"... Seriously, that's a technical term.

 

So you think a support under the house has come undone?

 

Yeah... or wasn't there to begin with.

 

Well, I've been here 30 years and it just started doing it a few days ago.

 

And you've had massive rains... Could be someone just stuck a board under a pipe and figured it's beer time... 30+ years later it's "hammer time"

 

Hmmm...Interesting. Thanks Tyrson.
