It's Thirtyfour Thursday!

Good morning :D
 
Morning all y’all, we already got a showing scheduled for this afternoon. Holy smokes that was fast. Jodi is pushing back her departure once again so I have no hope of ever trying to figure out what she is thinking. I am good with that!


A woman has a right to change her mind... :D

And they do all the time... :BangHead:
 
Dang, we have a 50 year old Kitchen Aid we can't kill. Sooner or later we will have to replace it. The racks are deteriorating and they don't make replacements. (rubber covered wire) Microwave we have had 2 Amana's in 40 years.


I went through 3 over the stove microwaves after moving here from Detroit... The third broken one is still there....

I took out the old Kenmore counter top from Detroit that's over 20 years old after the third over the counter one broke and it's still kickin'....
 
Wife and I went to the State Fair yesterday. 15,000 steps and a lot of hills. Thank God for good shoes and Tylenol. :rofl:


You wanna do steps??? Try coming here to Swallow Cliff and do these... 126 steps from bottom to top...

Only 2 miles from me right now...

People come here to climb the steps for exercise daily... It's a natural outdoor stairmaster....

They used to have toboggan slides there since the 1920's, but when they got old and needed rebuilding they scrapped them because a few people did some stupid stuff on them and got hurt and sued the forest preserve, so they knocked them down and built the second set of stairs on the right...

A month later after Gunner died, I still find myself talking to him, or looking for him....:realcrazy::realcrazy:


I still call out for my dalmatian that I put down three years ago...

I know he's gone, but I miss him and ask, "where's my dal" when I come in just to feel like he's still here....

I know how that goes I talk to my wife at times and she's been gone for almost 20 years.
Think I might need my head examined. lol

I’d die. I can barely lift my legs to get into truck. Vacation was rough, lots of downhil/uphill walking. It got tougher as days went on.
