For the bored......

     Who said Saturday nights weren't exciting?
I did have one awakening this evening.  I was
making spaghetti for dinner and I noticed that
the end of the box had a tab for reclosing it .
I had never noticed this before and I thought
it was pretty strange.  I mean really, who
would fix half a box of pasta?  Later, after
dinner I was cleaning up and I remarked, why
did I make so much?  To which my wife said
"did you make the entire box" ?    Duh ! 
I guess there is a reason for that little tab after all.

     I guess I have time to give my weather report
tonight too.  Today was about as good as it gets
given it's the end of January.  Sunny and fifty
degrees outside and except for a little wind (hate wind)
it was very pleasant.  HOWEVER .. Since I can't
seem to remember what day it is nor the date, I
decided not to go to out and play because tomorrow
is meeting day at the club and I will be spending the
day out there anyway.  So I kept myself busy with
small craft jobs around the house and such.  The
only problem is  meeting day is the first Sunday of
the month.  Tomorrow is the last Sunday of the month.
oops...  I'm going out tomorrow anyway.  I'll have my
own meeting

    I really hate to end this blog on a down note  but I
had a truly terrible week last week.  Not an entire week
but a couple days anyway.  No one serious thing but
a combination of things.  Who hasn't had small everyday
problems just sort of pile up on them and seem to suffocate
them.  On any given day I can deal with most problems
fairly handily.  But every now and then I get squished.
Flat tire on truck, deep snow, dead battery in tractor, both
battery chargers croak. Back locks up while I'm on the
garage floor putting plow on, glasses break and all the
while feeling like crap because my self doctoring methods
aren't working as well as expected.  All of the sudden one
wonders if it is really worth it?  Live to be ninety.. don't
threaten me like that !   Some days you almost want to
just give up.  But You don't.  I guess the mystery of what
tomorrow may bring is what keeps me struggling along.
Grab them boot straps and give 'em a tug.  Tomorrows
another day !
