EDIT Hurricane force winds are now in effect for most of California. 94% of the state's 40 million population is affected. Santa Barbara is under evacuation advisory. On my street alone, major amounts of palm-fronds are all over the neighborhood. None from my tree landed on my roof's solar panel array thanks to
winds in excess 50mph...fom the east??! :o not from the customary westerly Pacific direction. The major storm impact is expected around 6PM PST.

Want some Sardines? :)

What Are You Doing In Real Life

Sitting in front of the computer dropping off! :yawn::zzz:

Just caught Moira studying me as I tuck into a couple of rolls filled with salad

"What?" I said

"Oh, it's just nice to see you eating something healthy for a change"

great schnozz-Barbara Streisand shot!:arrgh!:

It's the camera: the nearest object often gets magnified - just Moira's bad luck it was her nose that time :haha:

I finally got my claim endorsed and settled after that idiot creamed my car with his transporter lorry. But no more will we see our dear old Vauxhall (nor any other most probably) parked at our favourite seaside spot along Huttoft Bank

I just grew a beard - not a long scruffy one to get caught in the periscope but a nice short one. Moira likes it - she keeps stroking it - so I told her to make the most of it, it's the nearest she'll ever get to owning a dog

...there's nothing like having a well-stroked 'dog day afternoon" in your dotage. :arrgh!: I had to shave mine off though so the damn c-pap mask would fit tightly :wah: so no pet therapy for me! :O:

Posted on my Facebook page today:

"I was just reminiscing with Moira about my school days. When elevated from the 5th year to the 6th, it went to some peoples' heads as they began addressing teachers by their Christian names and sitting in armchairs swilling coffee outside the common room in the sun. This annoyed me and a friend of mine (who is present here among us) so much that he booted a football into the back of the head of one of these offenders, just as he raised his cup to his stupid lips. It was a long shot and gauged perfectly; we laughed so.

This same friend was also once caught by the Deputy Head (Mr "Ray-gun" Ray) inscribing the legend "Williams is a wanker" into the library wall one lunchtime. He got the slipper, detention and a couple of hundred lines for that.

Happy days!"

Saw that posted as way back as 2006.

...had a fairly great yesterday!:arrgh!:We had to go see our tax accountant, thinking that cashing in an IRA from my Federal days 22 years ago to pay for the daughter's nuptuals and simplify my portfolio to my single mutual funds account, was going to to run me $5K as I had not withheld anything for Federal taxes. The IRA itself was complete fluke-freeby as the fraudulent contractor, using the $3.00 per hr. health-benefit to pay insurance; but not putting anything leftover into the employees' IRAs, had utterly forgotten to transfer me onto a new midcontract employee health plan changeover and had to then put the entire fund entirely into an IRA account, leaving me with a healthy $7K at contract's end in 1999. My wife's employment insurance had covered my own health concerns. Some 200 other guards also suddenly got the leftover small-change into their 'new' IRAs! I let the IRA gain over 2 decades until 2023 when I simplified things and cashed out. My taxman ran the numbers including $12K Federal deduction on our new solar system , and I only had to pay $800.00 for the IRA cashout!:yeah: Throw in the monthly mutual funds summary: my account gained $6K!? I figure that puts me up $10K on the day :hmmm: just sitting on my dead ass blogging...:O: JEEZE! I might even fill the gas tanks (CA gas is $5 a gallon!) on my '86 Camry and '05 Corolla...such mind-boggling extravagance!??:k_confused:

^ Great, we're having the bathroom totally revamped on our return from Mexico next month so I now know where I can source a cheap loan :yeah:
