A crap, Bah Hum bug & all things related.

didn't even go outside today. Not even to feed the birds. Barley ate anything & still not hungry. Just don't feel like eating.

Just way too hot in the house, even at night & early AM. Even with the box running it will not go below 79.

It seems like something is after me to make my life miserable or keep me irritated.

Ordered window AC Thurs or Friday, WW said they would send E mail when shipped. No e mail so guess it still sitting there.
3/4 extra days of way to hot in house. Guess I will live, just not comfortably.

If back not hurting, rib takes over or itching goes nuts. Or have to pee & can't same for poop. Something strange when I take a leak, my feet start to burn for some unknown reason.

Was going to drink a beer, nope don't want 1.

OH well life will go on. I just hate turning into a whinny baby. Don't even want to type & post.

Got through 1 more listing on E-Bay, but it fought me to a stand still on the next 1. May try later, had more than enough frustration. Took a 12 minute PH call to add some pictures to another listing. Need to get some packing tape & another thing or 2, so these things can be mailed. That is if they sell, sure do need the $$$.

TV as usual sucks, watched some really old western movies. Pretty hokkie, at least something different. Good guy wears a white hat, rides a palomino horse, & wears 2 guns high on his hips. Of course there is a good looking lady hie always rides away from. & The fair damsel is saved by him & wants to get married. No one hast to aim their pistol to shoot some one. Most of the time only the bad guys get killed.

Ken I meant that I will mail the book the cheap rate. That will maybe next Thursday.

2 Things that need to get done is power steering hose & truck AC. Think I could put hose on my self, but just do not feel like it. Lazy I guess.

Hope to get window AC in without help. Did it last time with the one the mouse killed.

Two things about grandads house in Fry, was a wood box that was filled from outside. In another place was a box like thing that covered with feed sacks that you poured water over to keep things cool.

How does 1 cook in the hot summer on a wood stove. Mom & grand mom did it most of their life. At the WJ'S mom made bread & cooked it on a wood stove. It was always good. Uncle Dale & would sit down & eat the whole first loaf.

More later. _ All replays appreciated.

Mr. Jim I hope that AC gets there soon. I know it has got to be HOT. And I have no idea how anyone could stand to cook with a wood stove in a hot climate. I hate to even fire up a grill!

Jim,

A couple of weeks ago I was having really bad cramps/muscle spasms in my lower calves/feet at night. Bad to the point of almost screaming ...

The Woman is always after me about how I don't drink enough water ... it appears she was right: my daily fluid intake was usually 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning and then 2-3 cans of Coke in the afternoon/evening.

Figured there was enough water in that that I should be good.

Mentioned it to the nurse the last time I was in to see the doc ... and she came unglued.

MINIMUM 8 GLASSES OF WATER PER DAY !

So I did and knocked off the Coke and the leg cramps/spasms went away. Was like magic ...

My muscle cramps are almost always related to not hydrating enough. Coffee and beer don't count.

Yup ... not sure but I think it might be hard on the kidneys as well.

Jim what significance is crash325?

I noticed one of your model planes (fledgling) was listed under jewelry/pendants. Might get more looks under the proper category.

Thanks guys for your advice & E-Bay problem.

Know that I need to drink more water. will try to do that.

Every time E-Bay improves things they get worse. Know this from many years ago. At 1 time they had a very simple listing form. It has been improved (???) a lot since then. Never sure what is going to happen now. Could not change to the proper category so I had to cancel listing. Will try it and the other 1 tomorrow.

This winter instead of worrying about the heat, it will be the cold. Just no way to win.:laughing:

Crash, I washed my Harley in the driveway. The driveway was fairly steep. After washing it I barley touched it and it fell over. Made the mistake of telling a friend. New nick name "Crash Johnson" shortened to CJ. 325 Was the size in CC's of my last race bike. A Bull Taco. In my my mind crash also refers to some unplanned get offs when racing. That happened more often than I would have liked. Actually did not crash very many planes after I got back into the hobby after several years of laying off.


When first learning RC Lee's hobby shop would open just for me on Sunday after noon, even gave me credit if I was broke.:D

Now 2.12 AM time to go out & have a beer & maybe cook something.
Only 88 out there.

More later
Jim

Jim. My house was built in 1910 (its been updated) but still has the original wood cook stove, for the summer months it has a side 2 burner unit that uses kerosene to run it. So there was no need to fire up the main wood box to cook something in the summer time.

Went out this AM, over 80 at 6 AM.
Took a potato to make some slices.
Went in barn to get a couple of beers. Found a box of engines that many will sell for over $50. Went back to deck full of visions & optimism. Way to hot to stay. Came in a still feeling good. 1 hour sleep in 48 just does not lead to much of a good feeling. All I want to do is sleep. No sleep & Poop Cycle is is in full swing. Giving me the fits. Misery does not love company.

Typing sucks - have to quit,
Jim
