Month: April 2004

The last couple days went by pretty fast I got a lot done at work today at one of the garages I take care of had a Easter party lot of good food it was what they call a pot luck lunch there was everything there and all kinds of desert I certainly ate my fill I was so stuffed but it felt good not to care and just eat away I will pay for it though…

Tomorrow Morning is the Men’s breakfast at the local church I have been going there with my co workers for almost 20 years on Good Friday it is a good gathering and we always have fun we are meeting at 5:15 I am usually up by then but not ready to go so I am going to set my alarm for 4:30 and we don’t get the day off I am going to be totally beat by the end of the day then the weather report looks good so we will be going to the races Friday Night…

Of all the times for this to happen I found another Bike I want to get it is a 1980 Sportster in fact it is my old one the guy who bought it from me has let it sit for Oh maybe the past 5 years in a shed out back of his trailer that is sad as that bike really ran and looked great when I sold it to him now it is rusting and does not run and the front brake calipers are froze up He said he wants $3000.00 for it Now in this area that is a good price for a Harley and the work it needs really is not that serious I can easily get it running again
but the problem is spending $3000.00 right now with my job soon ending *sigh* what to do I am going to have to think on that some more…

It seems the rain has maybe left us for a while but will be back of course on Easter too bad I will be going to Mom’s for the day she always cooks this big huge spread for us plus i will have a chance to visit with dad some

Enjoy Life,
Tim 😉

It is Tuesday much warmer than the weekend and beginning of the week I got home from work a little early today 3:30 to be exact sometimes I get to do that I guess it is about the only advantage to being paid salary instead of hourly…

I went with Mom today for her to make some adjustments to her will and for me to sign the power of attorney papers I also made out my own will I thought I might as well that way I can be sure all my belongings will go to the girls I was surprised the inheritance tax in Pa is only 4.5% I thought it was much more that is still a lot but what are you going to do. After we got done there we went out to lunch I had a hot Sauasage sandwich it was sooo big I brought 1/2 of it home but it was delish so I already eat the leftover so my eating is done for the day…

A friend of mine went on a cruise and brought me back *peeks out the window looking for dark colored 4 door sedan lurking* 2 cartons of cigarettes for 31.50 what a deal that was less that 1/2 price I was pretty happy with that I like when good things happen for a change.

Weight loss is still going good although it has slowed down a bit but I think that is a good way to lose it I weigh 176 now a far cry from 202 but I still have a long way to go my perfect weight according to what I have read is 154 so I still have some work to do….I miss Cheese cake ;-(

Toady started out at 6:00 AM I don’t know why in the heck I was up that early on a Saturday but I was wike awake, I had breakfast and did dishes watched a little bit of news then went shopping all I was going to do was get seed for my front yard but ended up getting all my Easter shopping done I came home had lunch and seeded my yard, did some laundry then decided to do the Easter baskets I make 4, 2 for Sam and Alex (grandchildren) and I still make each of the girls baskets even though they are 30 and 26 I still like to do it Bertha was not much help she kept trying to get the jelly beans, but I got them done and had to hide them from her LOL Just like a little kid…

I bought another movie The Rundown, it was pretty good I watched that earlier then after dark I shut off all the lights and lit my candles and watched Gothika What a spell binding movie I was on the edge of my seat the entire time it was great even if it was not I really like Halley Berry my favorite of hers is Swordfish, and I did laundry off and on during it thank goodness for Pause, Oh and I also bought a new pair of Jeans they were on sale at Kmart so what are you going to do…

Ok it is Midnight so I am going to set my clocks ahead and going to go to bed I have had enough fun for one day

I am not sure why but the races were cancelled they were called before noon and it did not even rain after lunchtime but I guess they have their reasons besides I would have froze it is in the 30s right now so I guess it is just as well. I came home around 5:00 and just took a little speed nap for about 15 minutes I came out to the kitchen and noticed I had a message on my cell it was a text from my daughter she heard races were cancelled and wanted to go out to dinner on the off race season we always fo out and have dinner together every Friday Night anyhow I texted her back and told her OK but too late she already ate I don’t take my personal cell to work with me as I have a company cell phone so no sense carrying 2 so by the time I saw the text message it too late, it was just as well they had a nice healthy lunch for everybody at the garage I was at today I had a nice big piece of Fish, 4 Perogies, toss salad, and apple Pie with vanilla Ice Cream so needless to say I was not hungry anyhow…

On another note I am not sure if I have a problem with Bertha or not she lost weight nicely so I decided to up her food intake to 5 cups a day I always feed her in the evening and the last 2 nights she ate then threw up she may be eating too fast she does not seem to be sick she is her normal self so I am going to try to feed her 2 1/2 cups in the morning and 2 1/2 cups at night and will see if maybe that makes a difference I just gave her the night feeding and she kept it down OK so I hope that is all it is…

I bought “Gothika” AO left me a comment saying it was a good movie so I will watch it maybe tomorrow being (Not meaning to Bitch again) it is going to be like Feburary all weekend highs in the 30s and snow, Sunday is the Blessing of the Bikes Rally up near Erie, I am going to be a skirt and not go 37 degrees and Snow I used to do the polar Bear run on New Years day and that was with my Shovel with no windshield and I survived it but maybe I am getting old but I just can’t take the cold like I used to, I brought my Heritage home last year on April 5th, that will be her first Birthday on Monday,and it was 38 degrees but for some reason I did not notice too much on that ride till I got home then it hit me and I never warmed up the rest of the day but I sure was smiling all
day…

It is 10:30 I suppose I am going to wind down for the evening I have a toasty fire going on I will bring in a little more wood and call it a night…

Enjoy Life,

We seem to have a weather problem here in PA it is right now 36 degrees and it rained all day and on top of that is snowed that is just wrong It is April it should be 60 degrees the rain I can understand but this cold has to go…

I went to the bank after work I had to deposit my mileage check and I got a bonus in the mail a couple days ago, about 6 months ago I got this letter about a law suit against Associated Consumer something about them overcharging for insurance I paid little attention to it and here in the mail I get a check for $56.75 can’t complain I guess that is my cut of the settelment amount so I got my banking done then came home and thanks to Monstergue I had the greatest Omelet I started with 4 eggs (way too big) then added leftover porkchops cut up from the other day I added diced onions and swiss cheese then after I folded it I topped it with Hot Pepper cheese it was so good but I could only eat 1/2 I put the rest away for breakfast, dishes are done and I am going to loaf the rest of the evening in front of the tube…

That’s it for the day I guess there will be more bitching about the weather tomorrow it is suppose to be cold like this all week…

Oh one more thing my truck is trying to breakdown first the door ajar light stays on I suppose that is just a switch inside the door panel but still a pain to change and today it quit making heat the temp guage was OK so that pretty much rules out the thermostat so I think it is the switch in the dash for the heat control It is a 1996 Ford Ranger I bought it brand new off the showroom floor and it has now a little more than 50,000 miles in it I suppose it is due to be giving me greif but so far nothing I can’t deal with…
