* 6,070 days ago Michelle and I had our first date together. 10,000 BC, I was telling Peanut howlusy of a movie it was this weekend. 

* 5,281 days ago I proposed to Michelle in the backyard at 4:00 in the morning. I've been the luckiest guy since that fateful day. 

* It was 5,319 days ago in front of our closest friends and family, for the most part, Michelle and I became husband and wife at the Marilla Center, it was a great day with friends and family. 

* I have now lived 2,456 days longer than my Dad did and I'm still going strong, slowing down but still going.

Monday

Kiwi trying to figure out what went wrong

I hope everyone's Monday is awesome and you do what you need to do to make this a better rock to live on. It's what we all strive and work for. Go make it happen. 

I think Peanut has absolutely created a monster by defeating Kiwi this weekend. He's studying the board like he never has before, replaying the game in his mind and strategizing talking about how he is going to seek his revenge and beat the cat Grand Master Peanut. I told him may play her in Monopoly, something where he can change the rules as the game goes on. 

It is election day eve, tomorrow is the one day that we have every four years when we vote for President, Senators, and Congressmen both on the Federal and State level. We vote for all the local elections and about anything and everything else. If you have not voted yet, please make plans to do your civic duty today, it is your one voice that you have. If you have already voted like Michelle and I, tomorrow night will be when we are all peeled to the TV to see who will be our next President. 

Meanwhile, I rarely get into TV shows, but I have found one that I really like in Tulsa King. If you have Paramount Plus, it's pretty addictive. I watched all of the first season a few weekends ago and have now caught up in everything in the second season. New shows are released every Sunday. 

Have yourselves a great day. 

Sunday

Here I sit in a semi-quiet household, yesterday Kiwi thought he was going to get the better of his sister Peanut in a Chess Game, little did he know that Peanut is a Grand Cat Master and wiped the board with my green little friend. Peanut proved to be the better chess player. The wager she suckered him in on was additional Cat Treats vs Additional Bird Treats. Peanut is celebrating with her favorite treats, Temptations Catnip Fever. 

Yesterday Michelle went over to the Craftsfair at Westwood. Would you believe that all my Halloween Decorations are now stored in Totes and my house including a Christmas Tree is all ready for Christmas 2024. It has been the first time we've really put up a tree other than that little 3' one we have used over the last few years. She has broken out the snow globes, the Michelle's Cookie Factory from OurTowne, bubble lights a decorated tree, stockings, Yoda Claus and a number of other decorations. We went and got some more candle making supplies and potpourri and we are ready to go...lol. 

So what is on today's agenda? Typical Sunday chores and stuff we do every Sunday. Mountaineers were off yesterday and the Steelers are off today, at least I got to watch the MoHawk Bowl friday night and enjoyed some football by at least one level favorite team. 

Have yourselves a great day. Peanut is still walking around strutting that she won the Chess game. 

Saturday Morning Ramblings

Kiwi and Peanut

Here I sit in a quiet household, Kiwi and Peanut are up or should I say have been up all night playing Chess. Kiwi has been spending a lot of time on the chess.com website trying to trick Peanut into thinking he is a Novice, but Peanut is just playing Kiwi for a sucker as she is a Grandmaster and is trying to lure him into making some kind of stupid wager. 

Michelle has mentioned that she would like to go to the Westwood Craft Show today over at Westwood Middle School. I think she is looking for ideas to either decorate for Thanksgiving or Christmas now that we are in November and past Thanksgiving. The scary Halloween Tree will be losing it's ghosts and black cat decorations this week and will soon be replaced with something more festive to the season. 

Of course if Michelle wants to find some Christmas Decorations, all Michelle would have to do is wait a week (Warning unpaid plog coming up) and go to the P&P Auctions "Our Best Christmas Auction EVER!!!" next weekend at Woodland United Methodist Church on the Mileground. That is next Saturday and it starts at 4:00 with the doors opening at 2:00. They are starting a couple of hours earlier than they usually do because they have so much stuff this year. Tell them you read George's Journal and get a stupid look from my lovely wife...lol

What is up for my day? No Mountaineers and no Steelers this weekend, that doesn't mean that I'm not going to be watching some football. 

Michelle and I did run up to the crematory yesterday and picked up Maybelline's ashes for Hayley. That is the second pet that we have had cremated in the past few weeks. First it was Sophie, but Sophie died here at home. They had to put May down on Tuesday, she just had no quality of life and was suffering. 

Have yourselves a great day, make it a good one and I'll update you on who won the chess game tomorrow. 

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 High School Football?  We definitely have it happening this week. I think Clay Battelle is off this week after the big win last week. What about the Cross Town AAAA rivals? Morgantown and University, the Hawks vs the Mohigans? 4-4 University travels all the way across town to Pony Lewis Field to take on the 6-3 Morgantown Mohigans in the 2024 MoHawk Bowl. This one is for the bragging rights and has always been a very good game. I'm taking my Alma Mater Morgantown High to bring home a victory this evening. Go Mohigans and good luck to both teams this evening. 

No big plans for the weekend, we will roll the clocks back on Sunday Morning, so this is the weekend that you get an extra hour of sleep as Daylight Savings time ends and it starts to get dark earlier. 

Have yourselves a great day. 

Photo Flashback Thursday

Once a week I like to take a little bit of time out, time to look at some of the 30,000+ photos that I have stored on my computer. Little lost moments in time that I either captured with a lens, scanned or just stole from someplace on the internet. I like to find just one and post it up and recall or relive the picture to the best of my ability. Sometimes this is a pretty easy task and sometimes it's not that easy, one thing it has always been a lot of fun.

Since it is Halloweem I just had to go and use a picture from a Halloween Past. This one is from 2015, Ralph and Amy had hosted the evenings festivities and Ralphie hooked up a trailer with some hay bales to his 4 wheeler and drove the kids all around up where they lice to take them trick or treating. 

Michelle rode along with them, she is in the yellow sweat shirt just having a great time.

Speaking of great times, have yourselves a great day.
