it’s time for stuff to stop breaking now

Aug 19, 2024

The other day, I complained about my lawnmower and how everything is breaking down now that I’m practicing retirement. As if all the stuff I mentioned in the previous post (link up there*points*), wasn’t enough, the lawnmower still needs yet another part and my main monitor has some kind of glitch that makes the bottom, right 1/4, darker than it should be. A replacement monitor this size is over $1500. OUCH!

At least — so far — I can still afford to eat. 🙂

I encouraged Perry to move the Blackstone from the garage to the deck by the kitchen door. It was a fabulous idea! At least I thought so until it rained before the food was finished.

I’m failing hard right now. And I’m on that stupid “fat chicks” diet that doesn’t help my mood. Walking a minimum of 6 miles every day is supposed to give me energy and help me sleep well at night. That’s a myth, you guys.

But there is something important happening today…

It’s Dharma’s birthday! 🥳

Big brown is 9 years-old today. With Dharma’s age calculated to dog years, we’re about the same age now. Neither of us have a great back, hips, or legs in our advanced age — but we both keep going the best we can.

Now you know: In 2013 Jeff Bezoz launched a 3 month expedition to recover a F1 engine used on the Apollo 11 Saturn V rocket from a depth of 14,000 feet off the floor of the Atlantic ocean. The engine currently resides in the National Air and Space Museum and is the only recovered flown F1 engine.
