YOUR MISSION MR. BOSSENCE SHOULD YOU CHOSE TO ACCEPT IT

DSC_0044

Hit the decks a runnin right from the ‘get-go this morning.  A lot of furniture to move, re-move, & move again when one has 3 rooms on the go.  Most of my efforts today revolved around pulling up all the old carpet in our sunroom.  About 62 million underlay staples had to be removed plus moldings taken off & tack strips around the edges pulled up.  Must have got up & down off that floor about 746 times & my legs are letting me know tonight they are not pleased with me.  Luckily our weather was nice & cool today otherwise this could have ended up being a yukstable hot sweaty job.  In the morning I will probably start hauling the original 34 year old carpet out of Kelly’s bedroom…………

ALAS, ALL THE OLD CARPET IS OUT OF THE SUNROOM…..MISSION COMPLETED & NOTHING BUSTED

Now rather than drag you all through another bunch of mumbo jumbo words again tonight I’ll just leave y’all with a few photos I took of some Tulips Wednesday morning on Porter Hill Line.

GROANER’S CORNER:(( 

An out of country tourist asks a Newfoundlander:  “Why do scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?”  To which the Newfoundlander replies:  “Lord thunderin’ Jesus, you must be stunned as a stone. If they fell forwards, they’d still be in the freakin boat now wouldn’t they!!”

A clerk in the hospital went into the doctor’s lounge and stated that a patient was in the waiting room saying he was invisible.  The doctor looked at the clerk and told her “tell the customer we cannot see him today.

An entertainer came to the hospital to visit and cheer up the patients.  As he was leaving a patient’s room after singing for the poor fella, he remarked, “I sure hope you get better.”  The patient replied, “I hope you do too.”

  2. I especially love the tulip pictures. Do have to lie down on the ground to those shots? Do you carry a rug or something to lay on? I wouldn't like laying with the bugs but I would love to take those shots. LOL

  4. Mighty fine Tulip shots. You sure do a lot of hard work for your age, I'd pay someone to do that, but I am a very lazy guy.

  8. I'm a sucker for Tulips. I love the variety of colors they present. Great photos. As for staples, all we did is pull up the carpet in our Bounder. We could not believe how many staples those "production" people used. Jeesh! Enough already.

  9. That was (is) quite the mission! Love the computer desk island that held out for last :-) So nice when a job like that doesn't have to get done over a weekend.....although having the house in disarray is motivating to get it done. Lovely Tulips!!
