I'll try to do better.....

After finishing the bathroom I had a few cases of the white subway tile left over so I decided to do the back splash in the kitchen. That looked so good that the rest of the kitchen looked even worse so I have been working on it since in anticipation of my parents visit later this summer. All that is left is some grouting and some trim work. So you can see why I haven't been posting as often, I'll try and do better now that the kitchen is almost done.

New Blog Added....

I have added Male Undies to my blog list. While I wouldn't mind seeing larger range in age it is a high quality site.

If your a fan of younger men in briefs and speedos I'm sure you will have lots of pleasure viewing this site.

Fact of Life.....

The older you get the lower the floor gets......

If you don't get it, it means your to young....

See My New Blog...

Don't Worry... Somewhere Under My Rainbow will continue. I have however decided to move the "I Just Wanna" posts to a new blog created just for them. I have almost 1500 pics (non nude) for use in the new blog.

As this blog is intended to be a non nude photo blog there will be no editorials or other postings, however, on occasion there may be a choice comment here and there.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.....

The Good...

4-1-10 Went to Marion's Carpets and bought 1032 sq ft of new carpet.

The Bad...

On my way home from Marion's I stopped at Home Depot to get more Kilz to seal the floors again before the carpet goes down. I was in the store for about 15 minutes when I heard "will the owner of a silver chevy license number 123-ABC please return to your vehicle"...

The Ugly...

When I get out to my truck I found that my front bumper and cowl had been hit...

The Good...

The guy that hit my truck was the one that had me paged. After getting his info he left and I went back to finish my shopping. Leif's Auto shop was only two blocks away so I went there, in less than an hour they had helped me file a claim and get me into a rental and on the road.

More good...

Because the carpet for the master bedroom needs to be ordered and the rest is in stock so the installer will come out twice.

More bad...

The installer will pick up one 900+ sq ft roll of carpet and doesn't have any where to take that big of a roll to cit into more manageable pieces so I needed to clean the garage...

More good...

The garage is cleaned up enough that I now can fit my truck in the garage'

More ugly...

My computer is having a major bitch fest, at this point I have discovered that as long as I don't touch the key board I can do what ever I want. As a result I am using my laptop to do this posting.

Needless to say that postings will be few and far between for a while....

Sorry guys

I'm Back.....

Spent the last 5 days in NE for my Mom's surprise birthday party. It was a total success, she and absolutely no idea. As much as I enjoyed spending time with Mom it is good to be back home.

I have some errands to run this morning so I will try to get some posting done later today.

It's been a long day......

Well it is after 8:30 so tonight's posting will be a short one again. Was at work at 6 this morning and and had to train 3 new people, then went to the tax guy and got my returns signed and sent in. I will be just enough to pay off everything except the truck and the house with enough left over to re roof the house. Then went to the Dr. What a relief, was afraid that it could be cancer based on the research I did, but the Doc said that it was most likely a dietary issue so I will be adding more fiber to my diet. Get home at about 6 to find that the tree is finally down (see next post). So I'm gonna have a light dinner, shower and go to bed.

Good Night Y'all.....

Sorry......

it has been so long since I have done any posting. Between working over time and working on the house it just seems like I'm always up to something.


Tonight's postings are a bit small because I need to finish getting the info ready for my meeting with my new tax guy right after work tomorrow.

At work they have decided to make a new position as the Team Lead over my department, currently the chain of command is the Plant Manager, Production Team Lead, Cell Lead, then me. I have applied for the position and if I get it I will be directly under the Plant Manager, and it will probably mean putting in even more overtime for the next few weeks so postings here may be done less often. Wish me Luck!!!!

Spring Has Sprung.....

The Crocus are popping up every where in the neighborhood, except for my yard....

It's A Girl.....

She has been given the name Kennadi, she is a 10 month old ACD( Australian Cattle Dog ). I will be fostering her through PAN ( Pet Adoption Network) until we can find a permanent home for her. When I picked her up at the Humane Society on Jan 23rd she was curled up in the corner of her kennel and shaking. With in a day or so it would have been hard for anyone to tell she was the same dog, she is now playful, energetic and very loving. In the 10 days that she has been with me she has showed absolutely no signs of aggression.

She tries so hard to get the cat to play but the cranky old puss just won't......

Sorry......

Monday when I got home from work I was planning on doing some posts but my Internet was down and by the time it cam back on I was ready for bed. My cell lead at work has been out all week because his wife is in the hospital so I have been putting in some longer days so that I can do all of my work plus his ( we are not expecting him to come back until a week from this coming Monday at the earliest).

Howard In Conn.....

Thanks for all the feed back. Yes, the doors are just plane old hollow core slab luan, not including the paint I did the door and frame for less than $25, sure is cheaper than $100+ for new doors and I am not stuck with a limited selection, I've got a couple interesting ideas for the inside of the Master bedroom as well as the guest room door. I agree with your assessment of the "tile rug" for out side the front door.

PS. I'll take all the feed back I can get. It's nice to know that there is someone else out there that thinks the way I do(ok, that may not necessarily be a good thing..... lol)

If you really like the doors check out the "He Spoils Me So...." post just below this one.

I would like to know......

In the last few minutes someone voted on their orientation. They indicated that they are straight and single. Cool..... but I am curious as to how you found my blog and is this your first visit, if not what keeps you coming back? Do you have any suggestions?

I Was Going to Post Tonight But.....

Thanks

The Big CT.....

The other day I went to the Doc because my index and middle fingers would go totally numb and the rest of my hand would hurt like hell in the middle of the night and the tip of my middle finger is always numb..... you guessed it.... carpel tunnel. So now I have to wear a brace on my right wrist to limit movement at all times unless it could get wet, the plan is that this will get to the point that I will only have to wear the brace at night. Since I started the night issues seem to have disappeared but the tip of the middle finger is still numb 24/7.

Not A Word.....

It's been over a week now since Belle went to her new home and I haven't heard a word, so I am guessing that all is well.

Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow.....

Miss Belle left on Saturday to live with her new family, the house just doesn't seem the same without her. Not planning on fostering again for a while while I work on the house unless an urgent situation arises.

The Move.....

Well, last Thursday we got the furniture moved into the Living, Dining and Family rooms from the garage. Finally starting to feel like home. Walls are all painted, drapes are hung, now just need to put up the pictures and such, will hold off on the floors coverings until I get the furnace working properly even though we haven't needed it yet.

The Move.....

One more day to steam clean the carpets and mop the hardwood floors at the old house and the move is done.
