    Res ventured down into the mysterious “basement” room today. He had some issues getting back up and needed help. Then he came down a second time and tried to avoid the steps (by jumping down them), I caught him before he made it to far and made him walk the rest of the way.

    Res: But Dad, Angel Ranger used to do it!

    Me: No, Ranger did not jump down them, Ranger jumped up them, and Ranger had skill!

    Res: I have skill too…..

    Me: How about you prove you can walk them first?

    Res: Walking them is over-rated. Jumping is more fun.

    Me: NO!!!! You do not pay your own vet bills.

    And another shocking moment for Jesse Pannell, he just opened a jar of rice so that Res could have chicken and rice for dinner tonight. The jar blew the top off, like a bottle of champaign, clear into the dining room next to the kitchen. Jar has not been opened since it was moved from Florida.

    I think he needs to wear safety glasses and a hard hat prior to opening any more containers.

    OK all…. It is official, after a lot of seller agent trying to re-write contract issues, we are finally in possession of our new house.

    Get this, the seller wanted to hold off on transferring property until his granddaughter could come and say “goodbye to the house”. I almost lost my $h&t.

    But, it’s ours now and tomorrow after I get internet installed I will be able to start the setup on everything I need to do.

    Step 1: Replace this damn thermostat that barely works!!!!
    Step 2: All locks and garage door access codes.
    Step 3: Change the irrigation controller to one we can actually program.
    Step 4: Meet with electrician tomorrow.
    Step 5: Get someone willing to crawl into the attic to re-attach a vent pipe (I am too old for that, and I am feeling the affects of altitude right now).
    Step 6: Figure out where to put all the plants that I moved out here so they get watered.

    I have no idea what steps 7-10 are. But I am sure it will come to me.

    Who knew that in order to get rain I just had to paint the patio and the front porch?

  • I-4 Insanity, The Florida Edition

    I-4 in Florida is insane. Had to go to Tampa today for a dr visit, my once a year with a specialist. The appointment is usually less than 10 minutes.

    2.5 hours out.
    1.0 hour at office because dr is running late.
    2.5 hours back home.

    Dr office is less than 70 miles away from house…..

    Me: Oh, GPS tell me which is better I-4 or backroads?
    GPS: I-4 is all green
    [get’s on I-4]
    GPS: STOP!!! I meant red and orange not green
    Me: you miserable @#$@#@ piece of crap. You knew it was all red to start with
    GPS: I do not understand your question …. repeat…..
