Still breathing and taking nourishment
« on: July 25, 2013, 04:15:08 am »
Hey Y'all old Gabby here
just in case any are wondering I'm still kicking and making a nuisance of myself.
This year has been a real mess weather wise first it wouldn't warm up and dry out and now it's running tripple diget temps. so even though I've got the saw set up I don't feel much like cooking what little brains I have left. For those of you who don't know me my shop is a open sided carport that I share with my wife's Jeep and My Dodge P/U so in the winter I'm freezing them off and if it's hot like now they are cooking.
Health wise I'm doing pretty well and after not being able to eat my wife's excellent cooking I'm now eating everything in the house and my figure shows it. If it rains it pours.
Well enough of my belly aching I'm still hoping to get some cutting done this year but no guarantees.

Glad you are still ok Gabby, even if it's too hot to go out to scroll. lets hope the weather cools just enough for you to get out scrolling.

Good to hear from you Gabby, so glad you are feeling better.  Shame you don't have a little shed to scroll in.  Would be easy to heat/AC.

Do you have room for a shed to be built, you could insulate it, then heat and cool it to scroll in.

You would hate to hear me describe my 24 by 24 shop with outlets all along the walls on 2 sides with fluorescent lighting, and no damn power to run it with, when we moved here it was cheaper to use a generator to power it with and I have a nice big 6KW one rusting down there due to the $4 per gallon gas prices. And now we don't have the 5 or 6 K to run power to it. So there it sits holding the junk we don't want to throw away and the tools I can't use. I even have a nice Jett lathe collecting dust and cobwebs, it is enough to make a grown man cry, being retired on SS and just hanging in there won't allow me to spend the wife's hard earned money to do anything about it and my get up and go is nearly gone. Don't get me started this getting old sucks big time. Golden years my A$$.
Sorry I didn't mean to turn into a cry baby, I just got on a roll.
Aw $h17!

Hey Gabby, it's about time you stuck your head above the parapet. We are going to have to get some serious horse rustling done to get some cash flow going. $4 for a gallon of gas, I'm paying the equivalent of $7.89 for a gallon of diesel, all be it a slightly bigger gallon it's still b***dy expensive. Good to see you're getting back in the "saddle", so to speak. Keep it up my friend.

Good to hear from you Gabby!  I had wondered where you went.  I missed the bantering between you and GB!  ;D  Seemed you two were having so much fun and it was always good for a laugh.
