Bowl Games

Didn't do much today as we are enjoying the bowl games on tv. Here's my husband "watching" the Oregon Ducks game.

Shhhh!

Vanbushome

A few weeks ago we took a little drive to the coast and saw this decidedly unique bus in the parking lot at the Winchester Bay docks. Somebody took a VW van and stuck it on top of an old school bus and turned it into a motor home.

Notice the smoke stack by the driver's side of the van.

Is it a vanbushome or maybe even The Magic Bus?

No Nukes Allowed!

I guess that means I can't bring my dirty bomb with me to Eugene...

I Want To See This

While we drive around the different areas of the county we occasionally come across properties for sale that have the flyer boxes out front. I like to stop and get one to see how much property there is and what the prices are.

Here's a flyer I picked up that was in front of a nice little farmhouse. The house was a little close to the road and after looking at the flyer I realized the road split the property. Then I saw the price. Just a little out of our price range! (Click on the picture to enlarge.)

Even though it's not in our price range I'm seriously thinking of making an appointment just to see this:

Sounds intriguing!

Ya Think?

My husband and I decided to have a healthy little snack to go along with our respective vinos. Edamames are good for you and quite tasty. We like to warm them up and give them a little sprinkle with kosher salt.

Check out this cautionary note.
Product may become hot after heating. Really?

Three Possibilities

No, not three property possibilities, but three possible scenarios for the following silly picture.

1. I really didn't think it was that cold but we came back from driving around and looking at properties to find these two with "nose warmers" on.
2. They are William Wegman model wannabes.
3. They want to be part of the Winston Wildlife Safari.

What do you think?

Put On A Happy Face

Do you ever have one of those dreams where you are running back and forth and just can't seem to get anything done? That's how I'm feeling lately in real life.

I know things are actually getting done but it just doesn't feel like it. The desk that I wanted to put in storage three weeks ago is still in the middle of the living room. And now it has a companion--my daughter's king size bed!

We took her bed out of the room and I got a daybed to put in its place. Wow, does the room look so much bigger now! I still have to paint the two kids' bedrooms but slowly but surely I'm making progress.

I managed to thoroughy clean the master bathroom walls, so I didn't have to repaint them. Hopefully the kitchen and front bathroom walls will clean up just as easily (it took just a bit of elbow grease--and lots of TSP).

The last three days I've been practically doing nothing but laundry, load after load! I finally got it all done yesterday.

Yesterday a glass guy came to give us an estimate on replacing the badly scratched sliding patio door and fix a bathroom window gasket. Today another glass guy is coming to see if we can get a better deal. For the price of the first one we could actually replace the slider with a whole new unit! Ha!

Meanwhile my husband has been doing lots of heavy duty outdoor work, like trimming the trees and that sort of thing. He's going to borrow a pressure washer this weekend.

Hopefully we'll be making a run to the storage facility this weekend.

I think I'll take a breather tonight with a little drinkie poo, after I do my running around today (got to get new bedding for my son's bed and the new daybed). I celebrated the 4th with a buttery nipple coctail, one of my favorites. I had to get the camera when I put the glass on the table and saw this!

(Buttery Nipple Coctail: equal parts Irish Cream and butterscotch schnapps. I usually prefer mine over ice, but other recipes say to float the cream over the schnapps.)

Good Eye Contact A Must!

How To Deal With Bad Dogs

If your dog is behaving badly and won't listen then tell him you will play football with him. Only you will be using this football. Maybe that will make him mind his manners!

Happy April Fools' Day!

Interesting Issue

This was a story in today's paper I just had to share with you! Click on the article to enlarge and see if you can find the interesting "civic" thing this reader enjoys.

In case you didn't see it the first time, here it is underlined.
He sounds like a lot of men I know... ;-)

None For Me, Thank You

We almost ordered take-in the other day, and had a hard time deciding exactly where to order from and what to get.

We changed our minds after checking out this menu from a local Thai restaurant. (Click on the picture to enlarge.)

For the beef balls and fish balls, do they mean of the rocky mountain oyster type? Must be difficult to get off the fish... (80, 83, 85)

What exactly is "hand-pilled chicken breast"? Is it Prozac or Vicodin? Does the DEA know about this? (81)

When they say "sick flavored soup" are they targeting the 18-28 year old demographic? (82)

And what kind of balls: ping pong, baseball? (84)

We ended up eating leftovers.

Brown Material Road

I'm sure I don't want to know just what the "brown material" is!

Spell Check

I don't know how the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) makes their signs. There were more than one of these posted in the area (on the way to East Lake), but this was the only one with a "problem".

I'll allow that the "L's" were worn away, probably by weather.
Somebody please get this sign painter a spell check!

WHAT'S On The Menu?

This has not been a great week for me, which is one reason I haven't posted much. But it cheered me up to see this. It appears one of the painted windows at this restaurant was broken and replaced, but they neglected to repaint the message.
