Thanksgiving is over

now it's time for the serious holiday crisis to begin....

my 3rd annual hunt for an outfit to wear to the office Christmas Party....

hoop skirts never go out of style, right?

please begin the ridicule now....

Santa getting ready for

the holidays

geniuses

a few weeks ago our water in the house was coming out of the faucet sorta dark....not uncommon, it's an old neighborhood with old infrastructure...a truck from the water department had come to check my redneck neighbor's water as it was also coming out dark....

well, I chimed in that we were experiencing the same problem....about that time another truck pulls up and a handful of recently released convicts water department employees get out...

they came to our door with a styrofoam cup and asked for a sample so they could test it....I obliged, filled the cup with orange water and brought it back to them....

I waited for the testing to start

one of them (maybe the supervisor since he had the testing equipment) shined his flashlight in it, they all looked at each other and nodded...."yep, it's dirty...run the taps for a while until it isn't"

thanks. I felt so much better

heh.....my first attempt at our Christmas Card....not well received...

buttttttttt...just because there might not be semi-nude women on our Christmas cards, doesn't mean there won't be Christmas Cards without semi-nude women on them...because I'm a badass that way

there were NO anal probes...I'm sure of that



but there was beer and 38 Special

daydreaming

what I'd buy with a shitload of money

nothing reckless or frivolous I promise....

spend your own pile of money here - it was harder than I expected

Time for another installment

of...

What's Lee Driving This Week? (not the truck in the pic btw, it just looks good)

the little red truck had to go to the shop yesterday, I wasn't in the mood to deal with borrowing the MIL's Honda so I sucked it up and asked Big Daddy if I could use his work truck until LRT was ready to come home...

well, Big Daddy is a bit of a gadget freak and driving one of his vehicles is always a cause for anxiety because you never know what's been wired where or what adjustments he may have made that he never seems to remember to mention before you drive off...this experience was no different...

I noticed some strange sounds after picking it up last night, not engine sounds..or mechanical sounds, but musical sounds....

kinda like a cell phone ring, except I knew it wasn't that since my ringer stays off...

I forgot about until this morning when I got in and took off for work...I turned onto a street and heard the music, I turned again, I heard the music.....IT WAS THE TURN SIGNAL....later I realized he also has the doors wired to play a song when they're open....

when I called him this afternoon to say I was bringing his truck back since mine was fixed, I asked him what he'd done....

this is what he did...for those of you not familiar with JC Whitney car parts catalog, it's like the Sears Wish Book for gear heads....and who doesn't need a turn signal that plays "Love Me Tender" on their big ass, Ford pick-up?...a lot of irritation for a little bit money..the perfect stocking stuffer in fact....

anyway, I also wanted to know if he had the horn wired to play Dixie like he did when we were kids....he said, "What do you think I am, a redneck?"

of course not Big Daddy...

what we really did this weekend

edited to add, that the baby blankets are for cousin's babies that are due soon in GA, J wants to take them their traditional baby blanket gift (from her) when we visit next week at Thanksgiving....my youngest brother and his wife are also expecting another little girl...we're in baby gift mindset

among other things......

backyard fire season

and bourbon season....

I don't dance

but I feel like doing fairy twirls in the back yard....

BIG work shit is done....only semi-significant shit on the horizon and there's plenty of wood chunks for the chimnea....

maybe a drum circle instead?

oh I know, I'll shoot rotten pecans into the neighbors back yard with the trebuchet...there's a party

Cross 'em!!

the project at work that has consumed most of my soul my free time is finally finishing up...hopefully this time tomorrow things will be back to normal and I will be looking at porn researching things to draw and stuff

I don't think that's too much to expect....

There's not a song

Montgomery Gentry has done that I don't love..I'm red...I don't care...they're good...and J and have the best discussions about them.....LOLOLOL...

anyway, I know they're manly men...that's all that matters

"Hell Yeah" is a special favorite...but aren't they all?



no blog life lately....too many real life conflicts...sucks for me, hope to catch up on the important stuff soon....and just in time for the holidays...anyone with a scorecard knows how much I anticipate the holidays....

time for bourbon

edited to add my truly most favorite MG...forget it's Imus...
