OzarkLad decided that with the rising temperatures, he would buy a new Air Conditioner. So off to SAM'S he went. He brought it home and...let me interject here...if there were one more stooge, we'd have been a complete set. Starting with carrying it into the house. Going up the steps I lost my grip, and caught it with my thigh. There is a bruise welling as we speak.
Upon taking out the old AC, he banged his knuckle and drew blood. Putting in the new brackets he broke a bolt. Using the ottoman (which has wheels) to transport it, it kept wanting to fall off. The cord was dragging, so I picked it up to sling it over the top and missed, hitting myself in the shin with the plug. Now I have a blue knot there. We got it to the window and lifted it to slide it in place, nearly falling over the ottoman. Okay! It's in! Let's take a break!
He looked at the manual to see what the settings were for first time turn onage. Five minutes later we were more than ready for some coolness. He went to plug it in and...the prongs don't match the outlet!
Yep, all we needed was one more stooge...
Gandalf is working to get a new life soon. Er...rather *not* working. He's taken a year off to find himself, starting with a move to another state next week. Sometime this summer he'll be going to Scotland, his ancestral home land. Visiting castles and such, he hopes to tour it by motorcycle. (Ooh! Ooh! Take me!)
Frank and George pooled together and threw a party. They hired a band and bought kegs of beer. They estimated about 150 people showed up for their shindig. (Damn, I had to be out of the state.)
Tenille is getting married on the 25th. She is going through all the usual tribulations associated with weddings. You know...brides maids dresses fitting, the florist may have to substitute, can't find the right color nail polish...
Opus/Oppie tells us the best time to enjoy a cigarette is at the end of a five mile jog. (Hmmm, is that what they are calling it these days?)
Nikki is a money wizard. I think the darn stuff just multiplies in her wallet. She is down to working only 20 hours a week, and can still afford to buy a condo on the lake. She can't wait to move into it, and getting out of that circa WWI apartment.
Little Joe went to Vietnam for a month, leaving his business in the hands of idiots.
Rick went to Thailand for a few weeks.
SOME DAILY HOROSCOPIC PERSONOLOGY-----
The day of the year, what that day signifies, the lucky number for that day, and the meditation for that day.
And now I am getting out of this room and seek a place where there is a breeze.
