Thrifting oddities.

.

I’m still getting a kick out of this page so I’m still sharing.

.

.

Now that’s a chair!

And possibly a sandwich.

.

.

How out of touch am I?

I had to look up ‘Pegasus’ as I thought it was some kind of dog harness or rock climbing apparatus.

🥴

.

.

Laughed at this because a friend of mine has the same one… that she also bought at Goodwill.

.

.

And to think of all the time I wasted searching for a couch.

🤣

.

Stop the world.

.

Really, can we stop it … because I think I want to get off.

.

.

AI creeps me out.

Robots? Even more so… and after watching this? I’m going to have nightmares about both.

.

.

For less than the price of most new cars you can have an extremely bendy robot of your very own.

.

.

Just know that if you do buy one, I won’t be accepting your dinner invitation.

Ever.

.

The wet test run.

.

One side of the drainage trench was dug.

.

.

And the perforated pipe was attached to the catch basin and set in place.

.

.

The hose was deployed to simulate rain…

.

.

And water flowed.

.

.

When installation was deemed satisfactory, backfill was added.

.

.

From the lovely little plywood backed dirt piles .

.

.

Hard to believe this took two men almost 8 hours….

.

.

But when my husband is involved there will be some serious chatting along with the working.

😉

.

If the man doesn’t have a project, he’s not happy.

.

Working with our contractor has ended for now but will resume in a week or two. And God forbid my retired husband should enjoy himself and do something fun. No…

.

.

He’s decided to lay perforated drainage pipe.

You know, the one I told him to lay last year when he installed that drainage box.

Ever since we had the driveway redone last year water has been funneling down to our kitchen landing/porch and in heavy rain we step outside to a river.

.

.

The catch basin was a good idea, but the husband poo poo’d the extra effort involved in laying pipe saying it wasn’t necessary.

Guess what?

It was.

.

.

So today…

.

.

Trench work began.

.

.

With some help from his cousin.

.

.

Rock and clay don’t make it easy.

🥴

.

News you can’t use.

.

To be honest, I’d be disappointed if you could.

.

.

Trivial enough for you?

.

.

I hate when that happens.

.

.

I’m at the age when even pink walks won’t help.

.

.

I’m sure her child will be thrilled to read that article when he/she grows up.

.

.

I don’t care for cruises and there’s more than one reason why, but a boat full of naked passengers is at the top of the list.

.

Random nonsense.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten is an interactive television watcher.

.

.

Especially when it’s a Nature documentary on birds of prey.

.

.

Summer is coming.

You’re welcome.

.

.

It’s been a weird, cold and wet spring. We still have temperatures dropping to 40 so while the grass is a stunning vibrant green…

Most of the trees haven’t leafed out yet.

.

.

Not that His Lordship cares, there are still mice to hunt.

.

.

The Orioles are still here and eating jars of grape jelly faster than I can buy them. They’re beautiful and hungry.

.

.

A bluebird, just because.
