Good morning!!!!

[Buppies]

Beautiful sunshine this morning with no wind. Yesterday was very windy and cool, today no wind and low 70s for high. Finished mowing grass yesterday removed some shrubs with tractors help filled in holes with topsoil reinstalled sign at street. Busy day but am really getting slow at doing things. Hijacking a thread hmm... sounds like a terrorist act or something. More yard work today and slept in to long this morning

Mostly a sunny day forecast with a high of 17C/63F.
Got to hang a couple more heat lamps as I have 40 chicks coming this morning, they are about 3 weeks old.

While the weather is beautiful (70s - 80s) and my garden work is caught up, I think I'll just enjoy the next couple of days and see what I can get into. I bought a couple of cheap Airsoft pistols off the internet along with a gel sticky target. You shoot the target and your pellets stick to it. If two people shoot different colored pellets, they can each easily compete in score since the target is set up like a dart board. The nice thing is the pellets roll off the board into a tray so you can reuse them. The cheap Crosman guns are spring actuated (one cock/one shot) and don't require CO2 or batteries. That's the best part of the whole package.

Speaking of entertainment, I really have a bone to pick with Redbox. About a month ago, we rented The Hobbit on Blu-ray. We got home and all set to watch it (3 hr long, so takes some planning). When I took it out of the sleeve, the face of the blu-ray was scratched like someone took a key to it. Our player would not even recognize the disc. I called Redbox and gave them detailed info about the disc, it's serial number, and exact location of rental. The fellow apologized and gave me a couple of rental codes for free rentals to make up for the inconvenience. He told me he would pass the word to the tech to check the disc if we would return it to the same kiosk. What got me going was that he said I should use a different kiosk if we wanted that movie. They have no way of blocking a rental or code you can put on a defective disc. When you return it, somebody else can just come in a rent it too. That's wacko from a business and service aspect. In a week's time, you could easily have 7-10 people with that same bad disc.

So last night we go out to eat and decide that today would be a good time to watch The Hobbit. We rent it and another movie. As we are driving away, my wife opens The Hobbit and it's that stinkin' same scratched disc we reported a month ago. Gimme a break! So, we went to a CVS drugstore that has a kiosk and rented another copy there. We feel a bit twice snakebit at the moment. Sure, it's only $1.50, but why would a business want to let this kind of thing happen? It just seems counterproductive. I even almost feel guilty about returning the disc and know some other family may have their movie watching plans ruined. I'm gonna write "SCRATCHED" on the disc on a big piece of masking tape so the next person knows it is defective when it comes out of the kiosk. That's the best I can do besides reporting this again to Redbox.:confused2:

We actually had a frost this morning and I had not covered the plants so its off the the garden store for more.

Jim,

We use Netflix and the disks we receive in the mail more often than not have greasy finger prints on them we clean before using, or scratches that make you wonder if the player can read the disc. It's very frustrating to watch half of a movie, then the player gets totally confused.

I guess RedBox isn't alone in this lack of sense.

Streaming is the way to go, but we would have to upgrade and add to some of our internet stuff to do that reliably.

66F, raining. 1.02 inches since midnight, 2.79 inches last 36 hours.

Guess I'm rained out of work. Sure how it clears for the neighbors afternoon party
Have a great day.

Pretty day, cool, around 70 and still windy but less so than yesterday. Worked on the deck, played my grandson and heading there shortly for Carolina BBQ, corn on the cob and potato salad.

Yes I am not here very often, no I don't have the time to tell you exactly why. Got a query for the experts here, I took this woman home from our first real date, escorted her to her house door and waited until she had unlocked the door, gave her a hug, and then asked "Can I see you again....?"

Her reply was, "I hope so...."

Anybody want to translate that? I am used to either yes or no, so her response threw me off. If it means anything, as I was halfway home she texted me thanking me for the second or third time for a wonderful evening and also emailed me....so I take "I hope so" meant yes....:laughing.

I would post a picture of her here, but you guys would slobber all over your screens....:laughing:

BYEEEE !!!!
