  1. that's what I call a rumpus room.

     

    35 -40` this AM. Sposed to hit 80`. I'm for that.

      need to go to the store. Need drugs.  Coffee and tobacco.

    y'all missed the perfect chance to jump into Arivaca with both feet. The folks running the store decided to retire and sold it.  Can't understand why. They've been there since '90.  It's the hub of town. I worked there for a few years. Nice being able to walk to work. Like, right next door. I did not care for know every little thing that was going on in town.

    Was exactly opposite when I was at the bowling alley. Was gone from sunrise to sundown. Only way people knew I was there was the massive flowers beds, all along the street and I was on a corner.  and loud music. I was considerate of the Baptist church that met in the old schoolhouse. Even mowed around the place so Pastor Rick's flock wouldn't get lost finding the door.

    Have another cuppa, Bill.... get more chatty

  2. We did Halloween downtown.  It's always a good time. Wife dressed as a witch, I went as is. Sarong, robe ... Guru/wizard/"the guy who invented pot"

      The hayride had 3 trailers loaded with kids. Good turnout

     

    then there was the impromptu party at the bar.  We did not attend that. Things can get wild.  MardiGras wild.

  3. all of the town kids end up "downtown". We have a block party.  I really like it. No trick or treaters at your door, unless they are friends looking for beverage.

     

    I'll make an appearance. No need to dress up. I might carry my "wizard stick".

  4. I'm good with licorice. The red stuff is not licorice to me, though.  I saw an Aussie brand that did have licorice in the red.

     

       how about saladitos? They're an acquired taste. In 50 years, I haven't.  I about tossed the first time I popped on in my mouth. Smarter now.

     

    there are some interesting items that are sold as "seeds" in HI.  Oldtimer could elaborate better than me [I?}.

  5. anyone home?

      well, the lights still work. Guess I'll put a pot of ocffee on.

     

    lit the furnace this AM.  Odd how the woodstove smells the same as a furnace on the first use of the season.  Don't think it got as cold as was predicted. It's fresh out there.  Not sub-freezing

     

    Humidity dropped. Dew point is -2`F. 

     if your chips are stale when you open them... put 'em in a bowl, exposed to some air. They'll crisp up.

    we are getting a few fires. Nothing like CA. What gets me is how they always investigate the cause. Usually starts with natural or human cause. if there has not been any lightning, that leaves human.

  6. feels like winter, for the moment.  Sposed to freeze tomorrow AM. Note I did not say "frost".  Dew point is around 20`. Won't get that cold.

    65` for a high today .... brrrrrr

    dug out my long handles last night. And a pair of socks... Need to gather a little firewood.

    BorderPatrol always talk to me when I'm out. One was acting like I was in for a romantic evening.

    "Nope... not for effect...if I don't, the house will get cold.  Kinda takes the fun out of it".

    You'll save a lot with a new and way more efficient unit.  I went from an old 40 gallon to a 50 or 55 (can't exactly remember) and there was a reduction in electricity use.

     

    actually, the physics work in favor of larger being more efficient. Less surface per volume.
