"He is richest who is content with the least for being content is the wealth of nature." - Socrates


When a guy is bare-chested he's shirtless. When a woman is bare-chested she's topless.
Am I the only one who thinks there are at least two things wrong here?
If she's not wearing pants is she bottomless?

When I bought Sally Rick gave me some extra parts he had, including new upholstery for the passenger bucket seat that was ripped in a couple of places. Yesterday I finished getting that installed. Ford clearly didn't think this was a DIY project; they made it a real challenge. But I'm sure not going to pay someone to do what I can struggle through.
The waves you see aren't as bad as the overhead lighting makes them appear, and they'll diminish as the vinyl relaxes.

Marta brought Sundae back last evening. The girl had this silly little grin that said, "A good time was had by all." Marta said Sundae ignored her food Sunday evening and was hanging around the buck's pen. So she "gave them some time alone" as they say. We'll do a urine test the middle of Feb. to confirm pregnancy and if it's positive we'll expect kids 151 days after 12/24.

My major project - as in 4-5 hours each day - is getting the manuscript ready for my proofreaders/editors. I'm in the process of reviewing changes suggested by my content readers and that's proving difficult. In some cases they agree that a given paragraph or section is good or needs a rewrite. However, in more than one case what one finds problematic another heartily endorses. Now what?
I promised I'd have my final version to the two proofreaders/editors by January 1. That's just days away. Yikes!

OK, so I hate cats. That's been well-established.
"I like cats, I just can't eat a whole one."
But I also hate mice and rats getting into the grain and going so far as to chew through the plastic bins it's stored in.
So we now have two barn cats. Just kittens now but I'm hoping they'll grow into legitimate killers. We got them free (you thought I'd pay money for a CAT???) and are currently terrified of their new surroundings. Only one will even show her face. The goats are interested in them but one "HISSSSS" and they backed right off.
I put down food and water; after that they're on their own. I'm assuming they'll settle in and venture from under the water bucket stand, at least to get the cat food that's right next to it.

OK, back to work.
