~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[dill]

Ginger, I do know you are all here for me. I appreciate it! We're all here for each other.

Sounds like a good plan, Cowboy. But do you actually have a place to store the doors until better weather? Seems like that would take a fair amount of space. We don't heat our garage but there have been occasions where we put out a space heater. I am dreading winter, but I guess that's not going to get me anywhere! LOL It's coming whether I like it or not. Thanks for your kind words about timing. I hope I am getting closer.

Rava, I can relate to every word you said. Thank you. It really helps to have accountability and your little community in Florida is one that seems to ooze permissiveness. I imagine there are others in your community who would appreciate a few more guardrails in place. I know you're struggling but stay strong. You are building up your southern sober muscles! As Jude reminded: ODAAT

Jude, I am going to have to develop some new tools and revisit some of the old ones. I have been digging through some old books and meditation CDs. Perhaps I'll blow off the dust on those and see if they help. Thanks for your kind words.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Good morning cafe! It's raw and windy outside with a mix of rain and snow. Yuck! Not much happening around here so it's a short post.

Hope that everyone has a wonderful booze free day!

24 more please...

Good morning Cafe. Dill, I am proud of you for getting back and going thru your books and other tools. You can do it!! Cowboy, Makes perfect sense to wait for better weather! Hi to Jude and Mul and Ginger. This morning I am trying something completely new. I signed up for a bungee fitness class. Starts in 2 hours so I better start getting ready. I hope I am not too old for this class! LOL. 24 more please and thank you.

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

We're having the exact same weather Jude. Our temp is right around the freezing mark so I don't think it will make for icy roads.

You're never too old to try something new Rava!

The other side of the garage has room to store the new doors dill since my truck is too big to fit in. Once I get the new doors put in I'll work on getting heat put in. You can be sure the next truck I buy will be a bit smaller so that it can fit in lol.

Waves to Ginger!

[Ginger999]

Nothing much going on! Waves to all. I'll take another!

[dill]

Late check in for me. I overslept this morning so had to hit the ground running to get to the volunteer job on time. All was well there though.

Rava, bungee fitness sounds quite interesting. Let us know how you get on with it!

Waves to Ginger, Jude, Cowboy and Mul!

It's a sunny Fall afternoon so I think I'll get out for a bit.

24 more for all of us here please and thank you.

[Jude58]

Rava, A bungee fitness class sounds like it would be a blast! Did you like it?

I have another doctor's appointment early this morning, seems like there have been a lot of them lately. I can remember when I only had one doctor but now you have to go to a different specialist for each body part.

Cowboy, Mr. J has a 1999 Ford F-350 and it is a beast! There's no way that it would fit in the garage! I hate driving it because it's like steering a tank through heavy traffic. Yikes! I'll stick with my Forester any day!

Waves to dill, Ginger and Mul!

24 more please...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Cowboy and Jude, I hear you about the large trucks. There is a neighborhood near us and all the trucks are parked along the street because they dont fit into their cookie cutter garages. Our son brought home a brand new truck and when it didnt fit into his garage he took it back and got a smaller one. Lesson learned I guess. The bungee class was fun and I am a bit sore this morning. It was fun and I bought a pack of a few classes so I plan on going back a few times but it is really too expensive to make a habit of it. I will stick with the gym mostly. Nothing planned for today so I will hang around the house. No booze in here so no screaming thoughts to annoy me. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. 24 more please and thank you.

We keep our truck out in a barn building. It's too big for the garage. But we have two cars anyway and it's a two-car garage. We really don't take the truck on the road much. It's a gas guzzler, of course so mostly it is just a working truck here on the farm. Cowboy, do you have any serious thoughts about getting a new truck?

Jude, I have to make an appointment with a Urologist because I've apparently developed some kidney stones. Last week I had to do an ultrasound and that's when they found the little buggers. So now I have 3 doctors. I hope I don't collect any more!

Rava, the bungee class sounds like fun! Good idea keeping the house booze free. I can't have it in the house either or it will be constantly calling me.

Have you settled back in, Ginger?

24 more for all of us please and thank you.

Mr J's truck is a classic Jude! He must keep it in pretty good shape for it still to be running. You don't see many older vehicles on the road today, they just don't build them like they used to.

My truck would just fit in the garage Rava if I took the canopy off. The canopy won't fit under the overhead door and even if I took the canopy off, the truck is so long that you wouldn't be able to walk in front or behind it once I got it in the garage.

I'll probably buy one more new truck dill once I quit farming. But I might just get by with this one as it's still in excellent shape. I just wish it would fit in the garage and not have to park it in the driveway all the time.

I don't remember if you guys got a Ranger or Maverick Ginger, how do you like it?

I had a good day yesterday, my first date with the snow shovel lol and then the spring for Bubba's door arrived from Amazon so I got it installed and the door working again. Now I'm wondering if I should have ordered the new doors or just waited till spring but I guess I'd have to order them sooner or later so this will keep me from putting it off any longer lol.

[Ginger999]

ABC, we bought the Maverick. If I had it to do over, I'd have gone with the Ranger. Mr G loves the Maverick and since it's his primary vehicle, I guess I'll let him keep it. Lol We averaged 38 miles to the gallon coming down, which was nice and made him even more convinced it was a great choice. I'll keep my Jeep Wrangler

My son has a 1999 F350 too, Jude. It's a diesel and he loves that beast. He says he'll never sell it because it's the only vehicle he owns he can tear apart and put back together to fix.

Rava, I need to look up bungee exercise. I'm picturing all sorts of strange things in my head.

Dill, glad you had a good volunteer day. I'm off to exercise and then not sure what's happening. I do know there will be no alcohol involved!

I'll take another!
