What were they thinking?

Not gonna lie, I hate that these exist.



That is all for now.

Duh!

This is our Christmas throw up tree, we throw a bunch of lights and other stuff up in it and call it a day. It's fun and looks like Marde gras. I put the lights in the tree onto a timer that should have turned on at dusk and then turned off in 8 hours, but instead at dusk the lights came on and then started to flash every 5 seconds. First I thought I overloaded the circuit. Nope. Did I have a flasher bulb on one of the strands of lights. Nope. Must be a bad timer unit, so off to lowes for a new one. Ended up buying the same multi-plug with turn on at dusk photo sensor. Got it all changed out during the day. Came home tonight and what do I see? A flashing tree! I go to the plug unit under the tree to change it to "on" and figure I'll just turn it off in the morning. As I kneeled down at the base of the tree with our plethora of lights shining brightly above me, it hit me. I was so stupid! There are so many bright white lights on the bottom of the tree that the photo sensor thinks it is daylight and shutting off, then it thinks the night has returned and turns itself back on. Every five seconds off then on then off then on..... Back to lowes for a plain clock based timer tomorrow.

Christmas up

Today was the first day of my week long stay-cation and we spent it getting the house decorated for the season.
We finished decorating the tree.


Ahhhhhh beautiful.


Including some ornaments personalized to my taste.





Also hit the outside a bit.


A tree of wonder as in I wonder why they put all that stuff in that tree.


A row of candy canes to light the front walk to entice kiddys in to the witches lair.


Went ahead and threw a wreath and some garland on the pod so it didn't feel unwanted.
Then there's this poor fellow.


We don't know when his hat broke but it seems like it was meant to be. He is perpetually looking down at his poor broken hat, but maybe someday it will be fixed. But then what would he look down at.

Holiday knowledgoid

Happy thanksgiving. On this day we celebrate Herbert Von Thanksgiving, the man who I bred the first all white meat turkey in 1823. Sure the bird didn't have any legs or wings and just laid in a special designed turkey cradle, but boy what a great tasting breast.

Way back machine

Helped the in-laws move some furniture around today so the could have their floors redone. Afterwards my wife and her mom were going through some craft stuff and found a lets just say out of date knitting magazine. Okay the actual projects may still be used but these pictures made me laugh.



My hair is the same shape as my sweater


Is this a bad arse look or a mad arse look?


Best friends

Death by puppy

One of gizmos favorite things in life is a new squeaky toy. His joy is not to play with it for days to come, merely squeaking away, but to remove the squeaking device from said toy as quickly as possible. Case in point is the new one I gave him tonight which lasted all of 10 minutes until it met its maker.

Around the shop

At the end of the work day it got kinda slow, so I walked around to see what we were selling these days. As time has gone by I look for more of the details in items than I use to. These are a few of the details I saw in the pharmacy tonight.

A day at the skins game

My pops and I got to spend yesterday watching the redskins get wooped by the panthers. The pregame started with an order of ribs



The great hope of the two franchises rest on the last two heisman trophy winners











Halftime begins with the cheerleaders


And ends with a bowl of chili on a chilly day





In the end the home team was well on the road to a loss so much of the crowd left before the final whistle
