Saturday Morning Ramblings

Here I sit in a quiet household, just me and Peanut talking about if we overpaid Oliver who has yet to produce his first termination. Peanut thinks I should take Oliver's Popcorn and convert it to cat treats for good cats like herself. 

Well today is Michelle's Grandmother Ruth's, or better known on this blog as Gigi, 100th birthday and they are planning a big party today. She didn't quite make it to the century mark as she passed earlier this year, but there will still be a celebration today in East Liverpool. Michelle will be going up and come home later this evening. 

My day will be consumed with cutting grass and other fun activities that I could get into. If I were working locally next week I would have gone with her, however, I'm traveling to Tridelphia and working all next week. I'll stay back and take care of all the animals and get a few chores done around the house. 

Have yourselves a great day, make it the best day you can. 

Monday

All good things must come to an end, now it is time to take our collective noses and stick them back onto the grindstone for another fun-filled week of doing what it is we do for a living. Hopefully, Oliver can eat less popcorn and get to doing what he is being paid to do and clear this town of traffic. 

Michelle is feeling a little better after running a fever on Saturday. You can't be too safe and we ended up missing three events all centered around young children, but better safe than sorry. We're both vaccinated, but that doesn't mean we couldn't be carriers. I feel fine, but we used a bit of caution just to be on the safe side.

I'll be working locally or semi-locally this week, however next Monday I'll be working around Cabellas up near Wheeling. That is where my brother Gary lives, but he's still in Florida for the time being doing some remodeling work. Something tells me that both Coleman's Fish Market and DiCarlos Pizza next week. YUUUM

Have yourselves a great week this week, my week should be a little less busy as I had both cars inspected last week and that's done. 

Hi ho hi ho

Saturday Morning Rambligs

Here I sit in a quiet household, Oliver the Ostrich and I are reviewing how many students he terminated with extreme prejudice here in town, would you believe he wants more popcorn and says he is still seeking out a strategic first victim. I think he is playing me for free popcorn. 

Well my day off is over with and I will be heading out to work today. It's going to be a busy day for me to say the least, a couple of birthdays and the Johnny Koon Lantern release is tonight, so this will be another very busy day. I'm used to it this week of long days. 

I'll be working this week in Morgantown and Marion County, however next week I'll start my travels and will be working the Northern Panhandle once again. Our numbers have all pretty much went to an escalated status, I would attribute that to the students but it's just the trend throughout all of West Virginia. Stay safe and protect yourselves.

Have a great day. 

Hi ho hi ho

Oliver's Wednesday

Tuesday's Tidbits

 * Oliver the Ostrich is still working on eliminating the students, he said to go and do a tidbits and that he likes Cheddar Popcorn. If Oliver says do a tidbits, you do a tidbits. 

* It has been 21,081 days since I was born, that is 21 years using my new and improved 991 day Calender. I prefer my calendar as it is the best calendar and it is variable. 

* It has been 6,312 days since I graduated from WVU with a Degree in Geography. I also have a minor in Communications and a Minor in History. I do love my mapping and Geography. Unfortunately for us locals, the next group are starting their journeys. 

* 4,899 days ago Michelle and I had our first date together, Pizza Hut and some stupid movie that I can't remember much about. That Pizza Hut is now gone. 

* 4,128 days ago I proposed to Michelle, 4:00 in the morning in the back yard. It was no surprise, she knew it was coming. 

* It was 3,657 days ago in front of our closest friends and family, Michelle and I became husband and wife at the Marilla Center, then we feasted like Kings and Queens. It was a memorable day. 

* I have now lived 1,290 days longer than my Dad did and I'm still going strong. I wish this was one bullet point that I didn't have to do.

* There are only 215 days until the start of Spring 2022. My favorite season of the year rolls around again. 

* There are 176 days until Michelle and I head to Pittsburgh to see Reba in concert. The Concert was supposed to be this August (actually it was supposed to be in March of last year) and they have moved it until the middle of February next year. So basically I bought tickets for a concert in 2022 in 2019. 

* 167 more days until Phil steps to center stage again for Groundhogs Day, he has ended his winter vacation and can once again be seen in the back yard eating the Corn Michelle puts out.

* Michelle and I are both off on Friday, meaning we will both be working this weekend. 

* I have to get one car inspected this morning and the other tomorrow morning. 

* I'm working in Morgantown and Marion County this week. Next week may see me traveling. 

* Kim is getting ready to add another dog to her family. They will be picking her third one up this week.

Monday

All good things must come to an end, and that does in fact include my fun-filled day off or weekends as many of you refer to them. Now it is time to take our collective noses and stick them back onto the grindstone for another fun-filled week of doing what it is that we do for a living. 

This week will see both Michelle and I work on Saturday. It's her weekend to work and I usually work Saturdays when I am not traveling for work. I'm in Morgantown this week but may travel the following week. 

I have to get both of our cars inspected this week. I'm scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday Morning first thing to have both Pearl and Ice inspected. I usually use Hartsell's, Brian is a long-time friend and I trust his opinion. Hopefully, we shouldn't run into too much trouble getting them inspected this year. 

Do you know where you were 44 years ago today at about 3:00 in the afternoon? I do, I was in the backyard playing wiffleball (where Brittany now works) when Grandma Hall came out and told me the news that Elvis had passed away. He will have been dead two years longer than he lived, life was definitely too short in his case. 

I wonder if there will be a Fall Fest this year, there wasn't one last year and I have not heard anything about one this year. Oliver must be doing his job, the popcorn I put out is all gone and Michelle and Kiwi are playing innocent. 

Have yourselves a great day

Hi ho hi ho

Sunday

Here I on a quiet Sunday morning, I'm up contemplating with Kiwi how we can use the killer ostrich to scare all of the college students who have just returned back to Morgantown and made traffic horrible. Kiwi says he has a cousin Oliver the Ostrich who has a bit of a vicious side and he works for popcorn of all things. If you see this Ostrich running around Morgantown, run as he is a killer. 

It's a day off for Michelle and me, we need an alibi for when Oscar goes on his rampage. A little early morning trip to Krogers to do the weekly shopping, come home and do a few weekly chores, and we are calling it a day. We've earned it and Sunday afternoon is the only time we have together where we are not tied up doing something else.

Did anyone drive around town yesterday, the students are definitely back and a bunch of the town newbies don't know how to navigate the roads like the locals just yet. Give them time, they'll get the hang of it. 

My niece Amy had an honor this past weekend, some of the pics she took of her trip to Amish County were put on display by the Ohio Amish Country Group on Facebook. I've always said she is one hell of a photographer. Congratulations Amy. 

Have yourselves a great day.
