    Peak:...Got the garden fences creosoted this morning just before the rain started .. it didn't last long so the creosote has dried fine. re-potted my hyacinths into a new shiny Pot... they've grown so big
    Went out and bought a new pressure washer , then had a roast beef dinner at the pub restaurant before coming home.. no cooking for me today..yeah!!

    Pit:...having to do the creosoting, what a boring mind-numbing job that is..but it only gets done every 5 years!!

    Peak (yesterday): Go to our boat, clean it up on the outside and start it up. Thank God that we put on 50 sun lotion or we surely would've been sun burned.

    Pit (yesterday/today): While working on the boat, the heat and high humidity was horrible. We were exhausted when we got home. Darn heat/humidity. Will be SO glad when we move from here.
    Other "Pit": Today, Sunday, couldn't take the boat out due to how tired we were from yesterday. At 10AM, with the humidity, the outside temp felt like 98 degrees already.

    Not sure if the weather will cooperate, but the tide will be good the weekend after next, to take our boat out.

    It always strikes me as strange why people try and convince a non drinker to become a drinker.

    Don't feel "strange" when I was only kidding/joking around.

    I have tasted very few alcoholic beverages that I like the taste of. I have had some red wines that are okay but, even then, fruit juices are better. Since I hate the feeling of being drunk, drinking has never been one of my vices. I used to enjoy going to parties in high school, but I would nurse one beer all night and often dump it out when no one was looking.

    When I was in the Navy, I done my share of beer drinking at a Ships Party or Beer Bust. During the 21 years I was single/divorced, I backed off on beer drinking a whole lot, from those Navy days/parties. I was a real "bottle sucker" during those years. I go out on a Friday or Saturday night, buy a bottle of beer and it would take me a long time to finish it. Never had beer where I lived. Would only have a bottle on the weekends when I go out.

    Then I met my wife, who loves a bottle of beer with a burger at home or at a sports bar with something to eat. And, of course, we always have a couple of beers and water in a cooler when we take our boat out. We also like a good Bloody Mary and with Mexican food, a margarita. On our last vacation, I had a beer and she had a tonic and gin on the flight. When we go on vacation, using our Durango, we take our large cooler stocked with Bud Light, water and sandwiches. May also take a small bottle (airline size) of 1800 Tequila or Fireball Whiskey for a couple of shots at the motel.

    Pit: spent 3 hours on the phone with AT&T.

    I cancelled my TV service

    Made an appt for a tech to come out and check why my interenet keeps going out periodically.

    Keeping my internet service with them for now and my phone...I'll cancel my phone next month.

    Cancelled my ADT security system but I still have 30 days service so keeping my phone until I don't need it for ADT.

    Disconnected receiver and cables from one TV ...bedroom will be more difficult because it's hard to get at.
    will take tomorrow to UPS so I don't get charged for them.

    So far I'll save about $150 a month....but I never watched TV and I get to keep the ADT sign and that all I need.

    I'll look into some motion sensors etc on Amazon.

    Next month I'll disconnect my phone...another $26

    Not all that much savings but it was money out the window.

    And I'm fed up with AT&T..

    I have Netflix Hulu, prime and can easily subscribe to other things.

    Sometimes I buy a season on Amazon to stream.

    It's a combination of a lot of things but mainly AT&T.

    I just spent time talking online with someone again...my tv is still working. So at least online I took screenshots that it's suspended but guess it takes awhile.

    I hate having to start my day with crap like this already.

    Can't stand them!!!!!!
