Personal stuff
Posting may be a little light today, as New Wife returns home first thing tomorrow morning, and I have a little errrrr cleaning up to do chez Du Toit before that happens:
…if you know what I mean.
Hey, at least there aren’t any dead hippies, unlike last time.
Day 12 since New Wife went back to Seffrica to spoil New Granddaughter:
…which is all very well; I, on the other hand, feel like this:
I really don’t do well by myself.
Also, I’ve had to deal with some (not serious) medical issues requiring a couple trips to the doc, and some minor repair work to the Tiguan, which means I’ve been driving Sputum for the past while.
Strangely enough, getting out of the above isn’t too bad; getting in, however, requires a gallon of grease and at least two crowbars to wrangle my fat ass into place.
From Longtime Reader MurphyAZ:
“I have this uneasy feeling that you might be sliding into a fire (flood?) sale. I hope that is not the case, and that all is well in Kim’s Land.”
Bless you, old son, for your concern; but let me assure you that this is absolutely not the case.
The plain fact of the matter is that as with many Olde Pharttes, I am getting tid of stuff that I don’t, can’t or don’t want to use anymore: the bass guitar gear was a “can’t”, the 16ga shotgun was a “don’t” — or, given that I plan on getting a 20ga to start doing sporting clays soon, “won’t want to use anymore” — and if the sale of said items can get me a “free” CZ G2 Bobtail:
…then so much the better.
Just to hammer the point home: we have emerged from the past four months of flood disaster and theft of two guns with our finances more or less intact, thanks in no small part to the unbelievable generosity of my Loyal Readers, blessings be upon you all.
I even managed to acquire a replacement S&W Model 65 along the way. (Range report to follow shortly.)
So once again, thank you (and anyone else who may have felt the same way) for your concern, but I’m fine.
Damn, damn and damn. I was at our apartment and everything looks fine for a move back later today… except that the wifi isn’t working yet, ergo no Internet ergo no posts for a while.
I have a couple up for tomorrow (I’m writing this from the hotel), but that’s it. Unless I can get the thing up and running by tomorrow, there may be nothing posted over the weekend.
Bear with me, folks; this is like resettling in a new city, FFS.
Changed one of my medications on the doctor’s recommendation, and it’s got me feeling a little tired and light-headed — as he warned it might. But I should be better tomorrow, so normal service will resume then.
In the meantime, here are a couple of random pics, just to keep the thing going:
And one of my favorite — read “stirring” — pics of all:
Hubba hubba.
Off to see the doctor for my semi-annual physical. It will follow the usual course, I expect. First, the verbal examination:
…followed by the tests:
And then the advice:
See y’all later.
