Fall 2018 is upon us!

Basement Shop

Can't believe it's fall already...the summer seems to have flown by.  It's been cool and rainy the past few days, today is warm and rainy 72F right now.  Kept busy doing outdoor projects, now working on indoor projects...painting the basement floor, sealing the basement walls.  I painted the the stairway a bright white and fixed and painted the stairs Battleship gray.  Got an even bigger project this winter and that is take down all the kitchen cupboards put on new hardware (handles, hinges) and then repaint them.  Also have to paint the cupboard facings.  I've been and will be a busy boy.  👍  Edison turned 2 on Labor Day, he's growing out of the puppy stages of tearing everything up and taking various items out in the yard.  I spent a good part of the summer filling in Edison holes in the yard.(Under his supervisionn of course).  It's now also time to start to "winterize" 😖 YUK!  Don't even want to think about winter...

Year round workshop

Moved from Garage to Basement

 Edison don't mind winter on bit, he loves running and jumping in the snow. 

Hopefully over the next year we'll brake him of his two remaining bad habits.  Barking and Jumping up when people or we come in the house.

Edison is my 4 legged helper, or at least he thinks he is.  More times than not he adds to the work at hand.  During painting he get's bared from the basement.

Love these socks, more expensive but worth every cent.  Very comfortable, and they stay put all day long.

Well that's about it for this time.  Enjoy the fall colors.  "May you be a half hour in heaven, before the devil knows your dead"

Until next time...

November 9,2016

Well here it is the 9th of November, since I last wrote of  the loss of Einstein...we also had to put Boomer down.  Both our babies gone in less then 5 weeks.  Very sad indeed.

We now have a new Golden puppy, his name is Edison such a quite little shit.  Kinda forgot how much energy puppies have....eeek! 

Oh yeah I almost forgot, we have a new President (Donald J Trump) put that in your pipe and smoke it democrats!!!   For the first time since 1928 we have a Republican majority in House, Senate, Governors and the presidency.  Well let's see if anything good gets done or just the same old bullshit the always spews from Washington.  Tune will only tell the tale?

Well any how's just wanted to do a quick update and now it's time for me to get back to blowing shit up on Armored Warfare!

Have a good day today and better day tomorrow...

This has been a very long and sad week.  Just can't stop thinking about Einstein!  He was the baby and has had it rough from early on...chewing through extension cord and getting sapped he has had lung problems and we always had a fan on him.  If it got to hot/humid we would turn on the AC more so for him than us.  Every dog we've had, it's hard to watch them go, but Einstein seems to have been the worst one to loose.  Well there will be another Golden, I would have no other dog in the future, they are just such loving dogs!

Today is a very sad day...we had to have Einstein put to sleep!  About 2 weeks ago he went out in the yard and his back legs gave out, we took him to the vet and they gave him Steroids and anti-inflammatory.  But they did not work and he could not walk.  He laid in his own urine and licking his entire back half was raw.  Well we could not stand seeing him in so much discomfort so we had him put to sleep.

 

Einstein 1/1/2008 - 9/26/2016 R.I.P. my buddy, my friend.

Thank you for all the love and happiness you brought to us over the past 9 years.

 

Happy 4th of July!

Sunday July 3, 2016:

Once again it is sometime between posts, day away from the 4th of July.  Sadly the usual 4th will no longer be the same as the past 15.  Friend and Family member Rhonda Klick passed away from her battle with breast cancer on June 10th 2016, she was 52 years old so may you RIP Rhonda.  In the past year I've had 3 people that have succumbed to their battle with cancer- Very sad! :( 

Summer has arrived, sort of.  Paying for the mild winter with a mild summer it has not been overly warm and down right cool at nights thus far.  We've made a few outdoor decor changes this year that look quite nice.  Next one will be a new fire pit as the current one is about to be put to rust. ;)  Hope everyone is having a nice summer?

Treatments at home are still going well, had a few bad days here and there, which is pretty much to be expected.  Working on the odd project here and there and playing Armored Warfare on MY.COM.  Fun and addictive game.  It certainly helps pass away the hours.

 Have a safe and happy summer everyone, Bye for now!

No April Fool's here!

Sunday April 3, 2016

Not very April like here right now...it made it to a balmy 38 degrees.  Most of the 3" of snow we got on Friday has once again gone away.  Man-o-man I'm sick of winter!  I want spring, and I want it now...damn it!  The forecast for the next week is not much better highs in the mid 30's to low 40's.  Well not much one can do about it, but wait.

I'm making a name change to the Blog from Dave's Place to the 'The Nest' as pretty much what I have here is my little nest.  I have most of what I need and spend many hours each and every day up here on the 2nd floor.

Just been doing my treatments and playing Armored Warfare, occasionally a few tasks from time to time.  Generally the biggest decision to make is "what the hell to have for supper?"  Well I'm boring myself, so I won't continue to put you to sleep...unless you have insomnia then by all means I did mean to put you to sleep.

So I shall leave you with a couple pictures from the game:

they should at least find you handy"


Thanks for stopping by, and you all come back ya hear!
 

Gaming-Armored Warfare!

Armored
Warfare
Screenshots!



Welcome back!  I don't know how many of you out there play on-line games?  I've really just started recently with some Facebook games.  The next was World of Warships, which for me sucked as I could never get it to load and play without it constantly flickering making it virtually impossible to play the game, so I deleted it!  Next and now playing Armored Warfare from  my.com, now this has been a fun game so far with a few exceptions.  Great graphics and I have not a one issue with the game loading or playing it.  There a two different modes of play PVP & PVE the first is player vs. player in a 15 member match, the latter is 5 player vs. AI tanks.  The couple draw backs is the game is currently in the beta version so they are working on improvements all the time and if you are serious about playing, then it is good to get involved in the community and forums. When I started there was not very much information on how to play the game.  But it is improving everyday with videos of how to plan and play different vehicles.  Every new vehicle is a bit different and it does take some time to get used to driving and what it will and will not do.  Getting to know the maps and the different battlefields which varies from towns to desserts to mountains.  It is a very fun game to play, especially if you like FPS and war games.  Now the other drawback and I'm sure this is true with any game that you play on line.  There are players that are well...ASSHOLES!!!  Cry baby whiners that want to blame 'their' mistakes on anyone/everyone else.   With this game there is a chat feature to communicate with the other players during game play.  I know this from first hand experience, you just need to ignore these whiny, pissy babies and have fun playing!  There are plenty of good nice players out there willing to give you 'constructive criticism'  and helpful tips and tricks to playing the game.  Ignore the ASSHOLES and have fun playing the game.  There are many different tanks, scouts, artillery and armored fighting vehicles.

Game Screenshot!

I did also play Soldiers Inc. for some time but after a while it got very boring.  Guess you just have to be into the MMO style, which I am not.  Loose interest way to fast.

So that's about it for this edition, I've given my view point on gaming and I do recommend playing Armored Warfare.

Everyone have a wonderful day and I'll see you next time!
