WELL, TODAY IS MONDAY and my folks will be home in a couple hours....with our new kittens!!!!!! cant wait!!!! its gonna be cool to have kitties in the house again......which reminds me, i need to bring in the cat litter pans before they get here or we could have a mess...hehe anyway, i was just thuinking last night, and yesterday......its almost september?!?!?!?! where the F**K did the year go?!?!?!?! sheesh!!!!!!!! of course, i think the same thing every year about this time..time just flies by so quickly these days......i cant believe there only 3 months til xmas....lordy!!!!!! even the dollar stores have their fall stuff out since early august......and a few sprinkles of xmas stuff here and there.....i even noticed one of my neighbors had their christmas lights turned on..of course, they never take em down.. but ive bnoticed a few neighbors have their xmas lights turned on all of a sudden..... ive also noticed the weather seems to be changing a tad...gotten a little more humid and a little cooler......just a little mind you...a degree or 2......oh well, time marches on......the last couple days...ive craved donuts....i went yesterday to the circle k, which usually has a good selection of cream filled ones....they were completely out!!! it looked like someone even swept up the crumbs!!! so i went to subway for a breakfast sandwich....there was a line out the door!!!! made me even more mad...i cvame home and settled for a bowl of raisin bran....grumble.....so this morning, i head over to the circle k again, convinced they got frersh donuts in abundance in this moring..i get ther...out again!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!/ you've got to be kidding me?!?!?!? sheesh!!! so this time i head to the dollar store..needed kitten food anyway! so i settled for 2 six packs of mini powdered donuts.....ive mentioned it before, not necessarily in this blog, but i'll mention it again..i hate this freakin town!!! its amazing what stores up here run out of and when...i even had to dig through the donut packs at the dollar store to find ones that werent out of date yet,....most of them expired august 11.....the ones i finally found were good until september 1...there we go with september again...sheesh......thats another thing i hate about stores in this town..you've got to look at expiration dates, most stuff is out of date and they dont care.....the world is drowning in apathy..i swear......anmd to make matters worse, ive had xmas carols and songs stuck in my head.....grumble.....oh well.......i guess its time for me to start being and old scrooge once again......until next time...

hmmm...August....almost......???

Its august 11th today, and i just realized..the year is more than half over already...where did it go?!?!?! weird...as usual, just like previous years, theyear has flown by with little if anything to show for it....as usual....i was at the dollar store last night and they have their fall stuf out already.......and now ive been thinking about christmas!!! arg!!! or as bill the cat says AAAACCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of course, ive been reminiscing about Morgantown wv's past on facebook.....bringing back all kinds ofgreat memories fromthe 4 short years i spent there, 1984-88.....even though i was there for a short time, theres nowhere i'd rather live......i wish i could move back....i guess reminiscing made me think of christmas, and winter etc..sigh......oh well......now i'm depressed thinking ive wasted 11 years of my life in nowheresgaard az......of course..it helps to have money to be able to move elsewhere....double sigh......and they way things are going, this country may very well be in trouble so it may become impossible to relocate in the near future.....triple sigh......ok..now i'm even more depressed.......quadruple sigh......hey! I know!!!!! i'll get rid of everyting i own and walk back to morgantown!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 ive thought aboutit many times before!!! i'll become a professional traveler!!!! heh..who am i kidding, i'm so materialistic its not funny...lol!!! oh well, i'll keep morgantown on my mind, and someday i'll get back there, if only to visit......until next time....

Shall we blog? duh dun dun dun....

been awhile since ive blogged, as usual for me......sigh......oh well..lets see, since last blog......i tried to adopt a couple of beagles, one was 3 and one was 6..father and daughter.....they didnt work out unfortunately, the female kept attacking my golden, and drew blood a couple times......and the other one peed everywhere he could reach, so they went back...i'm still looking......i DID find an irish wolfhound rescue in arizona!!!! we shall see....but first, i need to find a couple siamese kittens to butter mom up with......i'm no closer to my 42 inch tv and new receiver than i was last blog.....although, i got notice from a class action i'm involved in the company being sued made an offer and i accepted...should put me right in the neighborhood whenever i get a check......hopefully soon......i finally got my laptop and external 2 terabyte hd set up...the hd has been in its box for about 3 months now..heh...tonight i plan to be up to all hours backing up my system and copying stuff tothe hd..clear off my cluttered hd, and of course, the battery in my laptop seems to have died...grumble....and dell only want 160 bucks for a new one...double grumble.....and i dont know if i mentioned in my last blog, but i lost my old dog, sombra, about 3 weeks ago..she had to be euthanized..she was over 100 in human years, so it was time.......i miss her dearly.....my other, younger dog is now the center of attention.  i may have paid more attention to sombra due to all her ailments in the last few years, so i have alot of making up to do......my poor garden got beat to shit in a massive hailstorm we had a week or so ago..thankfully, the only thing i lost was a green pepper plant.....the only green pepper plant in the garden, but oh well.......i should be harvesting in a few weeks...hopefully......our fourth of july weekend was a bust due to prolonged hot and extremely dry conditions,  the county refused to give the chamber of commerce a fireworks permit, and as a result, they had to send the fireworks back to the factory, not only are they out the 20 grand they spent on the fireworks, but have to pay a restocking fee of some sort to the plae they got them from....and they have to refund all monies taken in for the weekend, possible vendors, VIP parking area etc.....its rumoured the chamber might dissolve......bummer......not that they did a whole lot for the town in the first place, but still.......the parade was abysmal, a fraction of the spectators as previous years, and from what i heard, a fraction of the vendors as previous years....the parade suffers because they wont allow water along the parade route.  in previous years the fire dept would hose people down as they made their way down the route, and people had squirt guns and water balloons.  oh well, i took a bunch of pictures anyway, they are on my flickr page...

if anyone is interested...it was axtremely hot that day and i got sunburned for my efforts..hehe......on the other hand, the no fireworks made it quiet in town for a change, its usually a madhouse here with all the tourists, also, the forests were completely closed..which further halped keep people away...then a rumour went around that the fireworks would be held on labor day, which is untrue i hear....unfortunately, even though fireworks are legal in az now, they were not permitted for the 4th weekend because of the dryness. of course, many of my neighbors ignored the ban......i guess i'll have to wait until there is snow on the ground to use mine..heh......this morning, i went,with a couple members of the local radio club, to forest lakes, a town about 30 mins from here, to do some signal testing, we had very favorable results, were thinking of maybe putting a radio room at the forest lakes fire dept....we proved today that we can get a signal out on several bands...mainly 2 meter......and again, i got sunburned for my trouble..hehe such is life.......lets see..what else? oh! i turned in a resume to radio shack here in town, but never heard back from them......they were thinking of closing it, maybe they did......who knows......ive been getting back in to lucid dreaming lately, or at least trying...ive started writing down my dreams again, and trying to meditate as i go to sleep in order to remember dreams and hopefulyl become lucid.....pretty good results so far.....gives me something to do whiole i'm sleeping =) and ive decided to go back to wet shaving, i'm tired of my electric razor, it just doesnt seem to do as good a job anymore, even with new heads....so i ordered a safety razor and a shaving brush from amazon. I'm going old school baby!!!! hehehehehe thats about all i can think of.....until next time....

TGIM!...just kidding...

It is Monday once again, I'm off today...thankfully...we had a stove repairman out this morning to fix our gas stove..only to find out my Mother cleaned the stove so well she clogged all the gas jets..sheesh....that was 80 bucks well wasted...I dont have too much planned today...finish laundry..perhaps walk down to get the mail..depending on how my knee and hip are feeling...not too mention my foot and ankle...all on the right side of course.....and i thought i was too young for these kind of problems..sheesh....Ive gotten to the age where life stops giving, and starts taking away......Its getting harder to walk any kind of distances, my shoulder my prevent me from playing golf anymore...hopefully next week i'll go to the range and find out....cant hardly throw a ball to the dog anymore...I cant afford a doctor so i have to make due with excederin etc......sigh.....like the song says...life sucks, then you die!!! and boy dont i know it!!! I was kind of hoping to travel someday..if i dont somehow get rich and do it soon, i wont be able to...double sigh.......oh well......not getting anything done bitching and whining about it....not a damn thing i can do about it......venting feels good sometimes......about the only thing i can look forward to is a new bigger tv, 42 incher!, and a new receiver and some point in the very near future...i hope......i guess i should be happy with the small things that i can actually do and receive..i guess......I may not even be able to ride my bike anymore either, come to think about it......i'll find that out very soon as well......triple sigh......until next time.....whers my cane?....
