Big Ole Hairy Friday

Yes, it is once again that time of the week that we all look forward to when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is again the dawn of another weekend and a Big Ole Hairy Friday!!!!

Are you looking for a little bit of Cheap Entertainment this evening, and by cheap, I mean free? Well, head on down to the Ruby Ampitheatre this evening and see if you are Tuff Enough. The Fabulous Thunderbirds will be here and both Kiwi and Peanut are both excited, they have been playing their music all day long and dancing up a storm. They like the 80's music meant to sound like 50's music. 

No plans for the weekend as of press time. I know Jeanetta is going to have a birthday party for Jax tomorrow, so that will most likely be on our agenda over the next couple of days. 

You know this summer has just flown by, watch the students start to pile back into Morgantown slowly after this weekend. The upper classmen mainly who live off campus, this is when they start to trickle into town. 

Have yoursleves a great day.

Are you looking for a little bit of Cheap Entertainment this evening, and by cheap, I mean free? Well, head on down to the Ruby Ampitheatre this evening. Everclear will be the featured act for tonight. The sages will be the opening act, should be a good evening of some good music. 

Nothing really on mine or Michelle's agenda this weekend other than what we do most weekends. Grocery shop and, weather permitting, I'll be mowing the grass. We are at the point in our lives where everything seems to be lather, rinse, and repeat. We have become too predictable in our, or at least my, old age. 

Michelle has been going to Hayley's doctor appointments with her, she is really excited that Hayley is starting to develop that bump. I'm not sure who is more excited, Hayley to be a mother or Michelle to be a Grandmother again. 

Have yourselves a great day

Kiwi and Peanut

Yes, it is once again that time of the week that we all look forward to when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is again the dawn of another weekend and a Big Ole Hairy Friday!!!!

Are you looking for a little bit of Cheap Entertainment this evening, and by cheap, I mean free? Well, head on down to the Ruby Ampitheatre this evening. Dark Side of the Moonshine, a Pink Floyd Tribute Band, will be the headliner this evening. Kiwi and Peanut are both Pink Floyd fans, so they are planning on being there and grabbing their normal seats. They like to be back a little so they can let loose and sing and dance the night away. 

No plans on the agenda as far as I know, but like always, that can change at the drop of a hat. OK< enough chit chat, let's get this day started so we can start the weekend.

Are you looking for a little bit of Cheap Entertainment this evening, and by cheap, I mean free? Well, head on down to the Ruby Ampitheatre this evening and see no one. It's July 3rd and many people have it as a Holiday, but I'll be working. I'm sure the city of Morgantown is doing something to celebrate the 4th of July.

Ice is in the shop today; she has some repairs that really need to be made, namely my brakes and my inspection for the two-year period. I need to do Pearl next month on her normal schedule, but I'm goiung to put 4 new tires on it before that. They are fine, but one of them is starting to show threads so I'll just replace them all and stay ahead of the game. 

Have yourselves a very special day, for me it is Hi ho hi ho

Are you looking for a little bit of Cheap Entertainment this evening, and by cheap, I mean free? Well, head on down to the Ruby Ampitheatre this evening. Grammy Award-winning Tonic will be the headliner this evening. Kiwi and Peanut asked for money to Uber down but I threw them some change and told them that they can take the PRT, it's cheaper and less headaches. I told them to have a good time, but not too good of a time as we have to cut grass tomorrow. 

There may be an announcement this coming weekend, more to come as I find out more and as the weekend progresses. It'll be worth waiting for, so just have a little patience. 

Have yourself a great day, make some memories.

Are you looking for a little bit of Cheap Entertainment this evening, and by cheap, I mean free? Well, head on down to the Ruby Ampitheatre this evening. Everclear will be the featured act at the facility. They had several hits in the 90's, including Santa Monica. Head on down if you have nothing to do, the price is right. 

Nothing going on this weekend other than normal stuff. Curt Brown passed away this week and his funeral was yesterday, I couldn't make it but I know Pam, and Terri did. 

Have yourselves a great day, make some memories.

Are you looking for a little bit of Cheap Entertainment this evening, and by cheap, I mean free? Well, head on down to the Ruby Ampitheatre this evening. Leftover Salmon takes the stage at 7:00 this evening. Kiwi and Peanut said they are planning on attending. They said they have a really nice sound, kind of a Grateful Dead thing going on and they like that kind of music, although Kiwi is really a Bee Gees fan. 

No big plans for the weekend as of yet. Things change at the drop of a hat, so you know how that goes. Grass is probably going to me calling my name, so there is always that. 

Have yourselves a great day.

Another week down and completed, so what is on the agenda for this weekend? There is a benefit for Nick's family tomorrow from 1:00 - 5:00 at the Halleck-Tribune Firehall. Terri's boss is putting this together for her, he has done so much for her between her diagnosis a couple of years ago to just being there for her all the time, can't say I have met him and his wife, but they are truly nice people. 

Other than that, Michelle will do our Sam's run this evening and the regular Saturday Shopping tomorrow morning before we head up to the Firehall. 

Hey I almost forgot, if you are not doing anything tonight, head on down to the Ruby Ampitheatre for the first act in the Summer Concert Series with Almost Queen hitting the stage this evening. The show starts at 7:00 and is free for anyone who wants to go. Should be some good music. 

Have yourselves a great day

I'm still working 10's, Kiwi and Peanut sent me a postcard and said hello from the rails to trails, they don't know specifically where they are at, something about the Appalachian Trail. 

No big plans for the weekend, other than going to a fundraiser for my Sister Terri NEXT weekend on Saturday from 12:00 to 5:00. It's going to be at the Triune Halleck Volunteer Fire Department. Floyd Cowger will be playing the benefit and that is all she knows at this time. 

This weekend? Maybe try to cut some grass and entertain the animals. Have yourselves a great day.

It is again the dawn of another weekend and a Big Ole Hairy Friday and the start of a three day weekend!!!!!!

I don't know what I am going to do with myself, three whole days off and I've been working 10 hour days (for overtime) since Nick had his wreck. Hopefully it will be filled with Happy times and memories, the students are gone so that is one factor of the Happy Times. 

I'm hoping to maybe fire the grill up this weekend, no plans but it is a three day weekend so it's a good time for the first cookout of the year. 

Michelle is off today and may be running to Rogers Ohio with Jim and Chris, she has a mammogram this morning and then they are talking about running up there after that. I'll be working. 

Have yourselves a great day and the start of a great weekend.

Life can finally slow down a little bit after today, the past week and a half have been kind of hectic and to be honest with you I'm glad we are on the back side of that block of time. 

We had a great time last night, Layla Graduated from the MedEd Program and Michelle and I attended. This is the one where she spoke at and was most important to her. It has been an honor watching this young woman grow up to say the vey least. She was Michelle's Flower Girl for our wedding. 

No plans for the weekend yet, just coming back to reality. 

Have yoursleves a great day

Another week down, and I think my pets are trying really hard to try and tell me something. 

So what is on the agenda for the day and weekend? It's just a lather, rinse, repeat weekend to be honest with you. I guess the older you get, the less you think about running around and doing fun and exciting things, and try to concentrate on some of the most important things in life. Naps. I, at that point, where I enjoy waking up and knowing it was sjust a nap and I don't have to get ready to go into the office. 

Have yourselves a great day

I think Kiwi and Peanut have broken into our old wedding stuff and have decided the celebrate the start of the weekend Jimmy Buffett style. They are really in a festive mood and they have Jimmy streaming on the Alexa app. I think they like this time of the year as well, very festive of them. 

So no plans on the agenda as of yet, but you never know what may come our way or what we will end up doing. 

I'm still a couple of months from starting my Friday blogs with the free concert series, helping me fill up content for people to read. 

Have yourself a great day.

Yes, it is once again that time of the week that we all look forward to when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is again the dawn of another weekend and a Big Ole Hairy Good Friday!!!

Kiwi and Peanut are celebrating Good Friday, Michelle is off and I think I may be off as well with me working the longer shifts this past week. I think they are just sucking up for some of Michelle's Deviled Eggs to be honest with you. 

Plans for the weekend? I think the kids are coming down on Sunday to visit, Michelle invited Hayley, Tyler and Luke to come down for dinner. Other than that no big plans for the weekend. I think Michelle may actually do all of her shopping today since she will be off, but you never know. 

I think my life has become so repetitive that there really isn't any excitement anymore to be honest. We go to work, do things around the house and lather rinse and repeat. I'm like clockswork. 

Have yourselves a great day.

I hope that everyone has had a good week. I've finished up all my training sessions on the Outage Management System (I'm teaching), and it has gone very well, even if I do have to say so myself. I've had a number of VPs and the President sit in on the training, and they loved it. 

No big plans for the weekend just yet, but I know there will be some grocery shopping involved and who knows what else. Kiwi and Peanut keep us occupied with their shenanigans. 

Have yourself a great day.

Kiwi and Peanut said they are going to spend the whole day watching the NCAA Basketball Tournament. They love watching it and cheering for the underdogs. Needless to say they will both be preoccupied all weekend watching College Basketball. 

It's the end of another week at work, and I have now trained 3 of the 4 groups on the new Outage Management System that we are implementing at work. I started last week and did two more this week, now I'm looking at the home stretch early next week. Don't worry, I have plenty of other things to be doing as well, I'm getting pretty good at this multi-tasking...lol

Have yourselves a great day

Big Ole Hairy Friday the 13th

Yes, it is once again that time of the week that we all look forward to when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is again the dawn of another weekend and a Big Ole Hairy Friday!!!

I think Peanut and Kiwi are taking this whole Friday the 13th thing just a little too far, but hey if that is what makes them happy and floats their boats then so be it. They do keep things lively and entertaining around here to say the least. 

No big plans for the day, well I guess that really isn't true as we have to have the exhaust repaired or replaced today on Pearl. It broke off at the between the mufflers (had dual mufflers) and the manifold. We're going to take it to Hartsells this morning and have it repaired. It's broken in half, so something tells me this may not be a cheap repair. Brian did do the exhaust last time, so it may still be under warranty so that could save us some money. 

Have yourselves a great day

Well it is with some sadness that I have to announce that today is my last official day with Parsons. HR has decided to eliminate the Casual Employment situation and that affects me and my situation. I really haven't had any billable hours since June, hence why I am at Hope Gas, but this ends a three-year stint of employer either as a contractor or as a Parsons employee. I really like my boss and he was sad to call and tell me last week, but we ended up doing more BSing than work talk. I have a bunch of equipment to send back, a workstation, dual monitors and a laptop that all need to go back. If any work comes up, Marlan would rehire me through a third party (like when I worked for them through Lancesoft). It's basically just changing my situation again. 

So what is on my agenda for the week? Same as every other week. nothing planned, Michelle will do Sams Club shopping tonight and we are planning on another boring evening at home. 

Have yourselves a great day

Kiwi and Peanut have indicated that they are both tired of winter and are ready to start planning for Spring by doing a little Spring Cleaning of the garage. Organizing Dad's tools, straightening up a little etc is what they said they are planning on doing. Personally, I think they have some kind of ulterior motive, like storing materials for this waterfall they are planning on making happen. I have to give them credit, they are in fact, big dreamers. 

Michelle is going to run and do our weekly shopping and that's all we have planned for the moment. 

Do you believe that it is almost March? This year has just flown by, I'm not complaining as I hate the Winter months, but we are getting closer to my favoite time of the year which is spring. I should keep an eye out for the daffodils to start sprouting and blessing us with their beautiful color and aroma. 

Have yourselves a great day

Kiwi and Peanut are bound and determined to build that waterfall, so much so that they had a backhoe delivered (from Temu) and are fully intending to build a waterfall in the back yard. Kiwi wants to divert the stream water into and out of the waterfall, but he doesn't get the concept that there is about a 20'-25' (I haven't checked it) elevation change going uphill to get to the waterfall, but he said that is Peanut's department she is the engineer. I asked her and her response was simply "Meow". They are bound and determined, that is for sure. 

As of press time I don't have an "Official" Start date for Michelle at Swanson Industries, she accepted her offer letter last week and has her paperwork submitted and even did her drug screen, so ducks (not the quackers) are all in a row, her start date may even be Monday. 

Other than that, no big plans for the weekend. It is that time of the year when we are all just waiting for the next season to get here, Football is over with, Baseball is getting started and I'm just waiting for the flowers to bloom. 

Have yourself a great day.
