Bad Day at Block Rock - errrr - Make it Bad Year.

Ronny Criminal #1 now owes me $50,101.00 US. That will sure come in handy when he pays up. Suppose to make .50 cents an hour while in prison & I'm suppose to get .20 cents of that.. 9 Years in prison so far & another case to go. As with most all legal papers things are sort of confusing. He also owes the courts another $500, give or take a little. Wonder if they get theirs first??
:laughing:

The court will get their money first.....That being said, if R.C. # 1 works for 10 hours/day/360 days a year it will take him 68 years to pay you what he owes you not including interest. Lots of luck collecting it.

I'm sure when he gets out & starts selling drugs again, he will be paying me my 40% along with the 18% interest. :laughing:

try magnesium pills if the bananas don't do it. My doc put me on 400 mg's a day (I am the extreme case, I don't retain any). I am told the magox 400 has no other ingredients). It will stop the leg cramps that occur at night. Don't take it late in the day, it keeps me awake.

I believe Raisins have more potassium in them then bananas do. Might do some research to make sure. But everyone thinks of bananas having lots of potassium in them when in fact they are fairly low in the scale. It's just something everyone has around.

Well Christmas came & went & I didn't know it until about an hour ago. 1 AM 26 Dec. So a late happy Christmas to all. Maybe I will know when merry New Years comes along. Was cold, windy & trying to rain yesterday, barely went out fed the dogs & birds & that's about it.

Day before was frustrating & irritating. 2 Maybe 3 hours to do a simple thing & accomplished NOTHING. Old propane tanks needed the new system or they can not be filled. To make a long story short, I tried everything I could think of including heating with a torch. American made 18" heavy duty crescent wrench & a 4 or 5 pound hammer & the old valve is still in the tank. Visited friends & they gave me another tank ( I'm talking what they call 40 pounder's. ) Have 2 of the regular small tanks & they can be exchanged. & Just to round out the propane problems, went to cook yesterday & the big tank is empty.

OH well life goes on & no one promised me a bowl of cherries.

Merry Holidays.
Jim

Good Morning Jim.
So Santa missed you altogether. Maybe didn't want to get messed up with the old rifle on the pole. or dogs chased the deer off.

There is and adapter to get your propane to the new government approved type threads.

There has been several fires this year here because people failed to tighten the new fittings.

Was at a cattle sale South of Tulsa Okla. and one of the barkers there was having leg problems and at a restaurant that evening sitting around with group of sales personnel. the waitress over heard his comments of the pain. Suggested vinegar because her husband had started and leg pains was gone.
He said would try and for her to bring a glass of vinegar. drank it with his steak and we went to our rooms at the motel.
Next day at the sale again and he was having problems and was in distress. So much so the auctioneer stopped and asked if he was all right. The man replied that yesterday he had leg pains and took a recommended dose of medications but now has leg pains and his stomach is churning like a modern day washing machine.
So never learned if this is a good suggestion. But again back home was telling my wife of this and she said she uses a daily dill pickle to keep her leg cramps down.
So after 56years of marrage learned something new about her.

Jim maybe next year will be better . For myself it has to be .

Spent more than made on doctors for wife's eye surgery's.

in a business transaction lost enough to retire and enjoy traveling. Thanks to the Government Chapter 7 it is considered good honest theft. and cannot touch or contact the person and everyone made money except the one providing the funds.

We had a good gathering of children grand children all were fed to over full and received enough goods to fill there cars . so over all it has been a good year. just next year looking forward to better times.

Is it close enough to say Happy New Year.

Crash try a ratchet strap round the tank so you can hold onto the handle. Just don't crush the tank. Then a strap wrench the older style with the fabric strap not rubber around the valve with the longest ratchet you have. That's how we use to change them at work. If we couldn't get it loose we would just go to a place where they just swap out tanks and get the right valve. (Walmart). Works for the little 20's.

Hi,
Ken I read about your misfortune in another thread. Sorry to hear about it.

Farmer,
Thanks for the suggestion, a good one. Don't have a strap wrench, but do have some huge chain type 4 footer & 5 footer pipe wrenches. Think, now that you have suggested it, will try them & my 18" crescent with a cheater pipe on it. Nothing to loose, tank is old & will not last long any way. Newer than that was given to me, first will see if the Indian store outside man will fill it. & Exchange 2 20 pounders while there..

Friend from MI says he has some 40's but don't know if they are modern or not. Will check them out on my way to get the little guys exchanged. Got to get a 5 footer filled as well, they don't need the new "Safety" valve. Will let you know how it turns out.

Project #2 so to speak is to put a wind break on the back deck. Then it will be more useful. Want to put up clear plastic, but have some thin plywood for now. Don't want block much of the view, like to watch the quail, other birds, Inca Doves & cotton tails.

Right now just waiting for the warm, then do a few things outside.

Jim

Another subject is Little Boy chewing things up. Have some fire wood on back deck & he kept taking it to chew on. Gave it a dose of hot sauce & it appears to be working. Don't think he really means to be destructive, more curious & maybe frustrated. No matter what I'm doing he wants to be part of it. Sticks his nose in when I light the little bar-b-q, chopping kindling & sawing wood. His side teeth have not dulled down yet, might be part of it.

Lots of wind (30+ ) mph yesterday, with thunder not far away. Few drops of rain, then a little more last night.

Vinegar, or lemon juice helps dissolve the uric acid build up in joints. I drink lemon juice daily - helps, but nothing does it all. I don't take anything else for my arthritis. Use a cane. Sleep is the best thing.
