Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

so

Rain to start the day, wet roads to drive on, and a warmer start than the temperature yesterday. Yep, and a wet day is in store. Weather lady said thunderstorms will be rolling in this afternoon. Hey, roll South of us, please.

Yes, it is Monday., and the week-end is now a memory.

Mac, did you see some pretty colored leaves yesterday? How was the boat ride?

Wingapalooza. Glad you have a great showing MonyK. Hehe, the peck of a chicken. Yeah, I bet they can do some damage with their beaks. Hope your coffee was hot and plentiful. Crock pot cooking is definitely for the week-end cooking. Nice the kids helped out this year.

Poohs, hopefully you will be rain free tomorrow. It will be a long day. Older one and I will definitely vote. We can walk to our polling place.

Schumi, I am sure your soup and baked bread were lush. Hope you had a nice Sunday. I bet Kyle is really enjoying his new ride.

With that I need tea. A gray start means more tea. LOL

Hi kids!! Happy Monday!! So much reading to catch up on over the weekend.

I saw Thor on Sunday and loved it! It is the best Thor movie and it almost feels like a reboot of the franchise. Thor is a bit different and well played. I really enjoyed the humor. It wasn't forced. I think one of the funniest sections was the meeting with Dr. Strange. REALLY well done. The surprise cameo got me.. I can't believe I haven't read about that on the internet already. Good kept secret. It took me a few minutes to figure out why the person looked so familiar. I am not a Jeff Goldblum fan, basically, I can't stand him... but he was enjoyable in the movie.

Dayco Products Part #89280 is an automatic belt tensioner:

Like the name says, this part is used to keep the tension on belts in motor assemblies. I wonder if any of the rides at Universal Orlando use this part, because that's where I'll be in 89280 seconds!!!!

Tennessee river had the best color display

Perfect way to spend the day on the boat

MonyK......glad the wingapalooza went well.......sounds like a good result for a good cause!

Janet.......I’m hoping for good things for this version of Orient Express......unsure of Branagh as Poirot at the moment............but, yes the cast looks good........glad you enjoyed the movie.......and hope food is getting better now........

Lynne......did have a nice Sunday thanks....and yep Kyle is still loving this car! I’m usually ok with wine and never get bad the next day.......usually.......but when you have as much as we did......well........all my own fault......

mac........that boat trip sounds just lovely! I love a little boat ride........we have the Norfolk broads close to us......lots of little waterways and narrow boats........we keep saying we’re going to hire one for a week.......you can stop off at hundreds of pubs and restaurants along the way........that’s my kind of boating!!


Caught up on housework and ironing this morning........then went shopping and found the new drapes I’m going to have.......thought that would be more difficult, need to wait four to six weeks for them to be made and delivered...problem we have is our whole back wall in that room is all glass......not a standard size window/French doors.........but sorted.

Got some new pillows and towels too.......I’m lucky DH never minds coming shopping..........although he did ask me after an hour if I was sure I wasn’t a keen shopper.........bless him!!

Turkey meatballs, pasta and sauce with some salad is dinner tonight.........it’s only 4.15 and I’m hungry already......will eat around 6.30 by time son gets home from work tonight........

Hope everyone’s good........

Afternoon everyone .

Been decorating for Christmas. Decided to do a Harry Potter Gryffindor tree this year. Have a couple more trees to do.





Mac glad to hear you and Mr Mac had a good cruise yesterday. The trees are all golden and red and beautiful. Did you all get the wind we were getting yesterday. It was blowing 16 mph out of the south. We took are sailboat up the Tennessee River in the Fall a number of years ago it was breathtaking.

To our Dis Texas family members my thoughts and prayers are with you. Another senseless tragic incident and innocent lives loss once again

Charade67 so glad to hear all was well at your daughters school. We do live in perilous times and it is truely hard to balance the things that are happening in the world and still encourage all our children to be happy and enjoy life and not be fearful.

Happy dances for those who have trips coming up to Universal Chucker's, Lynne, Poohlshome, Schumigirl, Charade67 and Squirlz.

Keisha hope you feel better everyday.

Monykalyn congratulations on the success of your wingapalooza event.

Happy late birthday wishes to your son Lynne

 

[Chuckers]

Cool tree @Robo56 - but it's still WAY too early for me to start thinking of Christmas!

 

[Lynne G]

Robo, your trees are always so fun to see.

Sigh, cannot quite get into Christmas yet.

eek, tomorrow is 45 days, and mouse full payment due. Thankfully, the dark side is paid for, just have to pick up tickets for the kids from my ITT office a few days before we leave.

Like seeing your countdown Chuckers.

Yeah, Robo, sadness for Texas. Unspeakable sorrow. Hugs to all those effected by this horrific act.

Loving this warmer day, even if rainy and gray. Tree I have outside my window is a lovely dark orange. I love the fall colors. Glad to hear Mac, you and the Mr. enjoyed your scenery and boat trip.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. I've been feeling kind of blah for the past few days. Hope I'm not coming down with something.
I was just entering receipts and balancing my checkbook when I realized that I accidentally transferred $500 into my daughter's account instead of the savings account. Glad I saw that before she did.

Hubby is out watching Thor tonight. I'm not quite as into the superhero movies as he is. There are some I watch, but this one doesn't interest me.

I love the Harry Potter tree. I'm not sure how much we will decorate this Christmas since we will be gone a week in December. We bought a bunch of Christmas stuff on clearance last year, but will probably keep the decorating to a minimum this year.
I had a horrible dream last week that Hallmark had decided to stop selling Christmas stuff. (I go to the Hallmark store every year the day after Christmas to buy ornaments at half price.) In my dream they were only selling off their stock that was leftover from previous years. Santa came into the store looking for Christmas lights and they didn't have any. Thankfully my husband woke me up before the nightmare could get any worse.

 

[Lynne G]

Odd dream Charade. And hope your blah feeling is gone today. Hope you are not coming down with a cold or something else.

Have been on my older one. Pollen is still thick in the air, and he's not medicating as routinely as he should. Little one asked why his eye was red. Yeah, that the allergies. Only effects one eye for some reason. That, and clogs his lungs and puffs up his face. Yeah, we have Darth Vader in the house.

It's Tuesday, and much cooler. 40, and not going much higher. And, was a red sunrise. Ah, they are right. Red skies in the morning, is a sailor's warning. Rain is coming from the West and will give us wet, from lunchtime through the rest of the day. Heavier jacket and rain coat ready.

So, grab an umbrella, tell something in this SANS thread, and enjoy wine and a taco.

Have a great day homies. Tea for me. Yep, it's ready. Later.

 

[Chuckers]

Good morning Peeps!!

Track 61

Under the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City sits an "abandoned" train station called Track 61.

Unlike other “abandoned” train stations in the New York City area, the infamous Track 61 is supposedly still in use as a secret escape train for presidents visiting the city.
In 61 days, I'll be escaping Massachusetts for an awesome vacation at Universal!!

Kinda cool, huh?

 

[macraven]

Good Tuesday morning to the homies

 

[kohlby]

Happy Tuesday!

Looks like I have a lot to catch up on. It seems to already be the holiday season here. I just wanted to say hi since it's been a while since I checked in. Life gets in the way but all is going well.

 

[Metro West]

Well...HHN is over and now the long wait starts until September. I wonder if they will have the Garage Sale again this year for passholders and employees...loved it two years ago. Many great bargains to be had.

 

[Lynne G]

Metro, I thought I saw they were having the sale on my Facebook feed that shows stuff from the AP USO Facebook group. I'll try to scroll down from where I saw the info.

It was a lot of fun two years ago which was the first sale open to passholders. Of course the resellers came in and bought stuff in bulk so no one else could buy anything...really ticked me off. I hope they keep those people out.

 

[Lynne G]

Metro - from my Facebook page run by a USO TM - he said November 13 from 9 to 12 is the exclusive USAP time. It's in the TM parking lot. TMs get first bid on the 12th. Maybe you have a friend that can bring you to the TM one to cut down on the reseller hogs.

Unfortunately I have a meeting Monday morning so I won't be able to go that day. I'll have to wait until after work which would still be OK the first day but the items really thin out pretty fast.

I hope you find stuff you want, even though can't go first thing in the morning. Eh, if it's any help, I'm not a local, and never have visited around that time to take part in.

It's now reruns of reruns of Law and Order on tv for me tonight


Nice day in the 70's here for me

But the rain will come soon and temps will drop on the weekend

Boo Hoo .....
