Top Sites Tuesday

I have so much going on in my head I don’t know where to begin…LOL

Life has been so crazy around here to say the least. I do love the new apartment we have built that Trina mentioned in her post this week.

It was a lot of work though, there was nothing at all and I had to start from scratch including water, plumbing and septic. And of course a few windmills and solar panels to help with the electric.

My first thought this week is I could not imagine a move across the state or across the country. It was hard enough to downsize and move about thousand feet across the farm! How people just pick up and move is beyond my comprehension. I do like it though it is nice, I didn’t think I could get used to a metal roof but the rain drops just put me into the deepest sleep ever 🙂

And for those who are wondering… Yes I did move my easy chair and yes I do have a window to look out across the farm!

My second thought is I wish I knew why I am such a worry-wart. I am sure you have all heard about my sister, AngelBaby, she has broken her back and will be out for a bit. I know she will be fine but I can’t help but worry.

The same goes for my kids they are all grown and I even have a grandchild (to young to say that!) but yet I still worry each day if they are ok. Wondering where they are and if they are doing what is right and is the little one doing just fine… Should I call etc… Does this all come as a part of being a parent? I didn’t read about this part in the handbook! Why is it that their problems are my problems even though my other sister (who has all the college degrees in psychology) tells me “that’s not in your bag so let it go” yeah right.

I seem to be the best at worrying so if you have trouble in this area just let me know I can help out… LOL

It doesn’t stop with the kids it goes on to each and every aspect of the day, I need to get my construction bids finished, what about the construction jobs, did the ads go into the paper, the websites, my websites, did I get to all 1400 emails, my personal life am I a good friend and a good partner? I gave up on worrying about the money it was going to make me insane so I let Trina handle all that. All I need to know is are we ok? That’s it, don’t tell me anymore, I’m good.

Sometimes I wonder do others worry as much as I do? Or do they just shrug it off and don’t care?

Well, it won’t be long and it will be winter time again and it will be a smaller amount of things to worry about and time to take a vacation from all but what I like to do most and that is working on BlogDumps. It might not be the biggest site but who cares I get lost into it and don’t remember to worry about all the other things going on. Plus I might just be somewhere else in the world who knows what life will bring 🙂

Have a great Tuesday!

Two Thoughts

If you think coming up with Two thoughts is easy you should try it…LOL
It’s funny how when you are not put on the spot how easy it can be to write!

Here it is Tuesday and it is time for two thoughts…

I am on the farm and today I am after the Japanese Beetle. They seem to be eating everything around here. The fields are a buzz with these beetles hovering just above them. It’s a wild site to see so many at one time.

I think the cropduster has pushed them from the other fields our way because he has been spraying all around us!

Have you ever noticed that Japanese Beetles do not fly well? As I walk across the yard here they fly into the side of the house with a big BOOM or into a window. They don’t splat ether, they are so tough, I was hit by one diving through the air and could not believe how hard it hit me! It’s mostly the grapes, roses, hibiscus and fruit trees they love, but so do we! So I have no choice but to spray them.

I have been working a bunch here on the farm this last week I dug and put in the three hundred foot line to get water to the pole building out back then we dug the hole for the septic system. I have always wanted water and sewer in the building and it all worked out this last week to be able to put one in. Some of you might think it is silly but if you ever had to go to the bathroom like NOW three hundred feet is a long run…LOL
The building is big enough too, it is 3200 sq ft. so plenty of room for a nice bathroom. It sure was a lot of digging though. We had huge piles of dirt, so much I could spread it around and level out some bumpy spots. I see why they charge so much to have this done it was a lot of work to complete the job.

So I am putting on my shoes and off to spray the attackers 🙂 have a great Tuesday!

Thinking On Tuesday

Sometimes it would be nice to only think on Tuesday’s and only have Two Thoughts but that is not the case. We have been home about a week now and it feels like a month. Time goes by so fast when we’re working and dealing with people constantly.

So here it is Top Sites Tuesday, the first though as I went through my blog this morning was I need to put a Captcha on the comments. It’s really not hard to pick out the spam because they use names like “DghjfWfhhf” Why they use names like this I don’t know… I have to admit they have gotten better with the comments it’s almost hard to tell if they are spam or not! I read that in Europe it is a crime for cyber attacks and the creation of bots – they even went on to give the time in jail for such a thing. I guess they are annoyed as much as we are by this. I know spam is illegal here in the US but I don’t think it applies to spam comments on the web, I will have to Google it and find out… Hmmmm

How do you know when a person knows nothing about computers? Person says… “I hate spam” Second person says “Me too, the taste is awful!” Oh, come have a laugh Monday is over…

Thought number two, it is so nice out! Last week was super hot we even had a fire in the back fields here, the cut barley just burst into flames. This week is much better – sunny but cool. So my thought for the day: what great working weather! I am off doing a home and garden type trim job in a house down toward the beach. It is very satisfying to me doing this type of work. I have the rest of the week there and then I am finished.

Have a great Tuesday

Two Thoughts #95

#95 That’s a lot of blog posts, I am glad we do this each week ’cause I get to take the time to blog some. I spent the morning cleaning out all the spam again… OMG will it ever stop!

We came back from vacation not only because we thought it was time but it was supposed to be warming up 🙂 … NOT the weather was a tease it was really nice and then it went back to cold. I woke up the other morning and thought I had been transported to Alaska there was three inches or more of snow on the ground everywhere!

I guess it wasn’t to bad because it was on the weekend so I didn’t have to go out if I didn’t want to – I watched movies instead… I thought that was the best choice.

So I have been taking out all the things I have stored over winter in my building here on the farm and I am wondering where I got all this stuff from. I thought before I left I had downsized but evidently not enough. If you ever want to see stuff, I have a 3200 sq ft building of stuff. I spent the afternoon cleaning out the wood shop area so I could get some work done… What a mess! I don’t remember leaving it this way but I was in a hurry to get out of here. Today I am working on the garage part so I am going to have to take everything out and then put back what I want to keep in some sort of an orderly fashion. Not only is this a chore it has to be… 38°F Feels Like: 33 so the weather channel says. NICE! Maybe I should just start taking the antibiotics now and beat getting the cold… LOL I knew I should have stayed another month in the South Pacific! Oh well, I am here so I will deal with it but I didn’t get to acclimate as they say so it is super cold to me.

All the kids have moved out, well except for one he is on his way as soon as they finish his house which will be soon. I have given away everything – horses(sad to see my horse go) all the hay, one of the wolves and another is getting ready to go to her new home, the parrot is going to his new home on Saturday so it will be just Woofy, my timber wolf – I, can’t give away my wolf too! I never really thought of selling the farm and I didn’t feel as though I should, it’s our family farm but with the kids gone and the farm dog passed away it just seems barren around here, no more kids and cousins around – it’s too quiet… I thought I would never say that! I guess it’s time to make a change and do something different something that occupies my time and some fun other then mending fences and growing hay and mowing large amounts of grass. The Realtor comes this week to do the home tour and I already put the farm on the market. So I guess we will see what the next chapter will bring when the place sells.

I wonder if I could get a custom easy chair for a sailboat!?

Have a great Tuesday,
Wolfbernz

My Favorite Dream

Share On FaceBook

After all the vacation time I have had the last few months, I have had plenty of time to think and dream about my future. I guess my favorite dream all rolls into one, but if it is a dream I guess it can be whatever you want it to be, no matter how you roll it up 🙂

Dreams are what make us as a person. Without them we would not have the drive to do the things we do in life. Dreams cause us to wake up sometimes and say I really need to get it together for one reason or another.

When we are young it is the dream of becoming something in the future that drives people to be that doctor that finds the cure, or the teacher that leaves the everlasting impression so one becomes a great person later in life. Dreams are cool, they teach us we are not bound by the word “impossible”. In or out of a dream we can do or be whatever we wish – it’s just the dream that gets it started!

My Favorite dream is that I could live like we did on vacation except for one thing I have to have internet.

I would love to become a sailboat cruiser and just sail around to all the beautiful places and take care of BlogDumps and hang out with my best friend, Trina. I know, but if I am going to dream it might as well be big right? I wouldn’t need money or TV, just a phone to call home, a computer to keep BlogDumps going, and a sailing ship to ride around in…

Yes this is it 🙂 Port to port meeting new people and experiencing new things all the time. To throw an anchor on time so it would slow down so I could take more in and have more time to spend doing such a fun thing.

Oooops I woke up and I have to go to work… That was really nice for the few moments I was there as I wrote this dream, we can always dream so maybe I can go there tonight as I fall asleep and sail away to tomorrow.

Have a great Tuesday
Wolf

One Easy Button Please!

The Holiday’s sure seem to creep up fast… I noticed a lot of places start putting things out earlier and earlier each year. It’s not that I mind it just seems to start the hustle and bustle and the crowds. Did you ever notice that people seem to start scurrying around driving faster. Maybe it has to do with the time change it gets darker earlier so maybe there is too much to get done to make it home before dark.

Well the Holiday’s are here!

Choices of what to do today?
I know this is more than one thought but it comes from a rambling mind trying to figure out what to do next.
Have you ever felt that you had so much to do you just did nothing…LOL???

1. Off to the shop finish clean up from last job go to the dump… YUCK!
2. Work on customers table (refinishing) she has had for over fifty years I guess I could finish that it’s almost
done.
3.It’s cold outside I could clean house do dishes and do laundry… Boring
4.Sit in easy chair and work on web and new site Blowing Green (Snuck that one in) hehehe
5.Finish getting the last things I need done before I can go to L.A.
6.Take care of the wolves and go play with woofy
7. Fix the first horse stall door, it’s blowing out of control in the wind (needs repair)
8. Go to town and check PO Box see if packages finally arrived.
9. I give up… Sit in the easy chair and order an easy button online 🙂

Have a great Tuesday,
Wolf

Haunted Tuesday!

I guess this was part of one of the scariest times of my life:

I was dismasted in my sailboat 60 miles offshore of Point Sur (Big Sur as they say) in Northern California. I drifted for about eight days with homemade sails in 19 foot seas trying to get back to shore… One night I was finally about 3 to 4 miles off the coast of port San Luis and I had no electric no radio nothing left but some water and canned and dried food. As I floated along I could hear voices at first I thought I was nuts and had been out in the water toooo long but then I saw running lights and they were coming close to me I thought OMG there are people right there!

The day before I had used all my flares and I used all my smoke in the shipping lanes once to get help from a ship and twice to keep them from running me over and once as they went by and didn’t stop I shot at them…LOL I know, I can laugh now!

So anyway the boat kept getting closer and I kept yelling to them “hey over here!” and they couldn’t hear me they were having fun and carrying on so I whistled. One of them said, “Did you hear that?” and they all said “No.” They got real quiet and I did it again and then said, “I am over here! I need help!” One of the girls on the boat frantically said, “OMG! I heard that!” and one of the guys said, “It’s just the water.”

So I tried again, then they all got super scared because they could not see me it was pitch black out there. The one girl screamed, “Lets get out of here!” and I yelled, “Don’t leave! I need help!” and one of the girls screamed. They left very fast going the other way from where they came from. I guess I scared the be-Jesus out of them. I was disappointed at the time and I did make it of course but as I look back now I laugh and think I bet they tell the story to people and everyone says they don’t believe it… Sure, voices huh?

So I think this Halloween I will go as a pumpkin or a Sumo wrestler, I haven’t decided yet I think Sumo wrestler would be cool it blows up to a life size costume with a full wedgie… LOL

Have a great Haunted Tuesday!
