Good Morning All!
48F @ 70% - time for the '32 Heat' stuff. Maybe 84F later. Next week however....
Taxes: We are at $1600 for 1700ft, on shy 3 acres with two additional outbuildings. The creek on the West portion of the property bumps the would be original 1300 to 1600... Geesh, no fish in it either; go figure.
Almost time for putting the roof on the Chicken/Goat barn. Had to make a trip to HD in Ponderay for stuff we did not get enough of. Ya, nother $1000 but that did include 5 Gallons of stain. Hope to have the shell sealed up by Monday. That way, I do not have to pay for help as we can do the interior stuff. Maria keeps grinning more and more! I think we still are under $7000 for a 12'x24' building. Smaller pre-built stuff ( 8' x 16' usually ) is going for $9000 to $11,000, un-finished interior; no insulation or wall coverings AND that does not include delivery. Don't remember ifn I told you or not, found experienced 14' metal roofing. Got 28 sheets of the stuff for $500. Deal! Ya, know it is more than needed right now: Garage in the works next year me thinks.
Meat: It has been nasty around here. Saw Strip Steak for $13, Rib for $17 the other day in our monopoly grocery store. And those cuts were Choice. Select is a tad lower, but crappy ( to me ). If you remember, I usually do Cash-n-Carry ( now Chef's Store ) for meat. Ya, that ended when we went the the not so local butcher store ( Spokane ) and asked about bagged ribeye. They call it 'bagged', which is a whole ribeye. Got it for $8.65 and it is real close to Prime. You should see the marble in it. Yup, cut 1" steaks and got 18 out of it with some chunk left over - darn the luck. We went to that butcher for their fresh liver and I asked about rib price. When they showed me the cut and told me the price, totally forgot getting the liver; it was an 'almost p'd my pants' syndrome moment! Did remember the liver by the time we hit Sandpoint on the way home...
Married: Geesh, we are at 25 years which does not seem like a long time compared to some of you!

Our meat has also escalated enormously, plus our bird food corn/wheat is only marginal. So I do not see that as much of a factor. I do not think the farmers are benefiting

@Texas Hobo Happy Anniversary to you and the Conductress. I'm a day late and a dollar short, but that is how I do.
@TLOC Happy Anniversary to you and Terry!

Property taxes... I'd rather not talk about it. Baltimore City’s property tax rate is one of the highest among major U.S. cities, dramatically higher than most of its peers.
My posts have been few and far between. I'm struggling with fatigue and low blood pressure. But I have read many of the posts. I wish you all the best!
Now back to baseball.

We went with in-wall tanks and wall mounted. Easier to clean and more room.

I read an article that said one of the culprits is that the herd size is at a real low. Hasn’t been this low in like forever.
There were some other things but that’s the main point I got from the article.

Good morning all,
64 and cloudy. Rain forecast for later today thru Saturday.
"finished " drivers side body work including primer on the 88 Suburban. I do all my body work outside so we will need a mild, dry stretch to finish the passenger side.
The hands a bit sore and knees a bit creaky, nothing else to complain about.
Currently at periodontist waiting for wife, in the exam room. At 70, she had to get a retainer for front lower teeth, those were installed a month ago, not sure what this visit is for, possibly to put us in the poor house.
Terry: great to hear the closing happened!
Beef: farmers here enjoying record prices for beef. Pork is the opposite, as well as corn and soybeans.
Eating at taste of India today

The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.
Dear Dogs and Cats:
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required.
The proper order for kissing is: kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.
Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:
(1) They live here. You don't.
(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.
(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people..
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.
Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
(1) eat less,
(2) don't ask for money all the time,
(3) are easier to train,
(4) normally come when called,
(5) never ask to drive the car,
(6) don't smoke or drink,
(7) don't want to wear your clothes,
(8) don't have to buy the latest fashions,
(9) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and
(10) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children...

Yeah but from what I read yesterday it’s not translating into increased profits. Their costs have gone up and supply is constrained by low herd size.

And do not get me started on high humidity.
Snacking can help but I need to be wary because when I was young I could go to those all you can eat for a set price, and often waiters were staggered to see a 5ft4in woman eat as much as I do. I was always active dancing,badminton,horse riding, so burnt it off easily.
Nowadays I rely on gardening and cleaning and dancing in front of the tv, and yes I have videos and oh no I do not plan to give you anything to snigger at. Dancing near me can be dangerous, I once blacked someone’s eye! oh yes there was the unfortunate kick as someone turned and moved towards me, I did help him to the edge of the dance floor before skulking off, he had tears in his eyes, and yes you are correct in thinking where I accidentally kicked him. Winces.
When you say rib do you mean ribeye? We pay an average 32 to 35 £ that is plus 1.5 conversion to dollars so 49 dollars a kilo or 2.2ib
i get low blood pressure sometimes barely a hundred over not quite 60. for me it is not drinking enough, plus I was persuaded by the NHS to avoid salt, and often forget to add it to food, and rarely eat food with it already added. so I often have to think eat some salt and drink some water! Bending over can leave me dizzy at times.Property taxes... I'd rather not talk about it. Baltimore City’s property tax rate is one of the highest among major U.S. cities, dramatically higher than most of its peers.

Unashamably copied from another forum, but it made me laugh..50 Grayish Shades .... !!
Back and forth . . . . back and forth . . .
In and out . . . . in and out . . . .
A little to the left . . . . a little to the right . . . .
She could feel the sweat on her forehead . . . .
Between her breasts . . . . and, trickling down the small of her back . . . .
She was getting near to the end . . . . !!
He was in ecstasy . . . . with a huge smile on his face as his wife moved . . . .
Forwards then backwards . . . Forwards then backwards . . . . Again . . . . and, again . . . . !!
Her heart was pounding now . . . .Her face was flushed . . . .
She moaned . . . . softly at first, then began to groan louder . . . .
Finally . . . . totally exhausted . . . . she let out a piercing scream . . . .She shouted . . . . :
"OK, OK, you smug devil, I can't parallel park . . . . You f***ing do it!!"
