Official Squatch Watchers

That is what hubs told him to do.
Shoot, our trucks are old and have a gazillion miles on them!

Hubs hung up the phone and said "I'll be ****** if I am signing a loan so he can have a nicer truck than I drive."

I do not buy new vehicles. I look for two years old or so.

Currently we have a 2011 Ford Escape and a 2005 honda civic. I plan on replacing the civic in a year from now. We have gotten a lot out of that car!

We have never bought a new vehicle in 22 years lol! The truck is a 98 and the toyota is 2008. New ones aren't worth what they ask for them, then tie on taxes and insurance nooo thank you! The old clunkers do exactly the same thing anyway get from A to B. Don't care what they look like, not out to impress anyone.

So I’m skipping 19 posts to say hi and check in.
Started my rounds at 4:40 am and made friends with all the receiving guys at my local big box stores then headed back out of town to “my” TSC.
STARTED A CLUB, a few hours later when my new buddies Steve and Ted showed up! And we watched the sunrise together.
We named us the “pine shavings gang”, as they liked my idea of “pulling up a bale.
By the time the store opened we had sixteen members and I was president and spokesperson, and also secretary and added a new name to the list as each new member pulled up their own bale.
Didn’t get a generator, but had a nice morning of new found friendship.
The truck carrying the generators was still 689 miles away so at 11am the manager agreed to call everyone in the list when the truck got to Newbern (2 hrs away). Everyone agreed with handshakes.

Off I went to go home, pick up gas cans and get in line at a gas station and followed a tractor trailer down I-40.

When he got off my exit and turned into homedepot I just HAD to follow him.

I lurked as he stopped to talk to the receiving guy I’d chatted with earlier.
I yelled out my window and he gave me the thumbs up so I parked and ran in.

I got a generator and as soon as I paid I called the tractor store and told them they could take my name off the list and free it up for someone else.

If nothing else, those other people on my list are guaranteed one when they come in sometime tonight.

Here’s me and the founding members.
Such nice fellas.

Filling in coop holes, trying to figure out what I need to stock up on. Looks like rain will be the biggest deal here, but rain makes trees fall and trees cut power so doing what I can. Really hoping it just peters out to be honest. @staceyj Thank heavens you got a generator! One less worry!

Been missing you , Smuv. We lived with my Mom for about a year. After that i couldn't take it any more.
Did you have your surgery?

The surgery is on the back burner.... probably forever.

There's a BILLION things on right now that I'm overwhelmed with.

Mom.... well, legally she isn't my mom so now we have to do an adult adoption. I don't think she understands that with this adoption, *I* can have legal power over her. We've been spending the last 3 weeks talking her in to living here... and talking about building on to the house.

I think my spirit broke a little while ago when I received a copy of her will.... and I was listed as *a dear friend*. This is the woman I knew from birth as my mom.... but she couldn't adopt me cause she was gay.... and now that she can... well, why bother right?!?!


At the end of this, man....... I really REALLY love you all so very much..... just, right now, I am being a selfish asshole....

I've still not been on social media. If you'd like to follow up with me or talk to me, PLEASE feel free to text or call me

Hey sweet friend,

I am SO glad to see you back!!!!!!

XOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXO

I know the feeling of overwhelm. You post when you can...sometimes it's all I can do too! But knowing there's a hand out there to hold makes it a little easier, ya know?

and to you. Always.

Real quick, because I am trying to stick (more or less!) to Henny's schedule idea (yesterday it worked great, today I am definitely slacking. But it works. When I have a timer--and a schedule--it enables me to quantify how much time I am wasting on the internet, getting distracted, doing nothing, feeling bad about it, etc. Thank you so much, Henny!!

And now, for the Great EggsPeriment, Day 4:

Quick summary: I set 11 Lafayette eggs on Day 1 and 7 on Day 2, that were saved in the fridge Put em in the bator. Yesterday I candled the first of the Day 3 ones and saw nothing.

Today I candled all of them and I have *one definite* spider, so far!!

I did notice the beginning of--shall we say--a stinky aroma from the bator. I sniffed out the bad one and cracked it outside. It was nasty!

So now there are 17 eggs in the bator. I still have a bunch of possible Cemani eggs in the fridge, but they will be VERY old. But I am still keeping them. Just in case. And this is a fun experiment!
