Hello, three!

Good morning, friends.

singdaw · « **Reply #62 on:** April 05, 2022, 06:21:16 AM »

Yes, you are all gentle and fine folks, as well.

singdaw · « **Reply #63 on:** April 05, 2022, 06:21:34 AM »

I'm a-pointin' at YOU!

singdaw · « **Reply #64 on:** April 05, 2022, 06:21:49 AM »

Even though that's not considered polite.

singdaw · « **Reply #65 on:** April 05, 2022, 06:22:01 AM »

By some.

singdaw · « **Reply #66 on:** April 05, 2022, 06:22:25 AM »

DR TCB, glad that you are powered again.

Glad to read that the good reviews for bk's show are continuing.

Today is election day in Johnston SC.

The election is for Mayor of Johnston.

There are four candidates, one of whom is a neighbor and friend.

I voted for him.

That was the only item on the ballot.

My painter, Jeff, is here right now. We went over his plan of attack, and I have given him access codes to the garage where he will store his tools.

Today's storm "may" have been modified down to thunderstorms rather than hail, flooding and tornadic mayhem.

It's hard to tell sometimes.

I get calls every day from unidentified folks. Sometimes, it's a valid call from a doctor's office or the VA.

Other times...MOST of the time...it's a recorded line waiting for me to say hello three or four times before the recording starts.

I have taken to saying hello one time, pausing for a reply and then hanging up when a reply doesn't come forth.

It is VERY annoying.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #72 on:** April 05, 2022, 06:43:50 AM »

Sometimes, someone IS on the other side of the receiver.

I say "Hello!" And the reply is "Barbara?"

My mother's name was Barbara.

I generally ask, "Do I SOUND like Barbara?" That usually flusters the caller and he hangs up.

If they ask to speak with Barbara, I am more civil and explain that she has passed away and that I would appreciate them removing my number from their call list.

Generally, I am met with polite compliance. Occasionally, the caller will say, "Well, you'll do!"

No...I WON'T do...sorry, but a string of expletives generally issue from my mouth before I slam down the receiver.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #73 on:** April 05, 2022, 06:44:21 AM »

Otherwise, I am having a decent day.

Last night's 6 o'clock news was all about the Masters golf tournament.

It hasn't yet started (that will be Thursday), but golfers began arriving last week and spend their days practicing on the course in anticipation of the beginning of the tournament.

The news treated us to people showing off the goodies they have purchased in the Masters store.

It was all about Masters...all agog about Masters...and left me aghast at what I am going to have to endure for the next week and a half.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #75 on:** April 05, 2022, 06:49:39 AM »

The news anchors spent quite a bit of time discussing the excitement about Tiger Woods out on the greens practicing.

He will decide whether to play or not on Thursday, just before the tournament begins. The consensus is that Tiger, alone, will MAKE the Masters a more exciting event.

That's a lot to put on his shoulders, I think.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #76 on:** April 05, 2022, 06:50:12 AM »

Okay. That's all I have to say about that.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #77 on:** April 05, 2022, 06:58:49 AM »

The sky is darkening a bit now. The storm is definitely moving in. It should be at its strongest/worst around 3 p.m.

We just had the Valero Open here. Yawn. Good for the economy. Good time to read.

I cannot think of another thing to ramble on and on about.

Oh, well.

John G. · « **Reply #80 on:** April 05, 2022, 07:04:19 AM »

Somehow the rambling song of the rambling rambleweed doesn’t have the same lilt to it as tumbling tumbleweed.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #81 on:** April 05, 2022, 07:23:27 AM »

It looks like the tornado threat is well south of Johnston, so I am breathing a sigh of relief over that. Hail, strong winds and rain are still on the menu today and tomorrow.

Nice review - too bad the show isn't WOKE enough for the reviewer!

The painter, Jeff, has done a fair amount of work on the garage doors and that side of the house (trim-wise). He has scraped, and he will power wash. I expect he will do that to all areas of the house before he starts painting.

Sometimes, you just have to be a lonesome polecat.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #86 on:** April 05, 2022, 08:19:13 AM »

JRand71 -- I don't recall you ever saying how much you got for that teak automobile.

Will you share that bit of info with us?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #87 on:** April 05, 2022, 08:19:26 AM »

I am feeling a bit peckish.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #88 on:** April 05, 2022, 08:19:33 AM »

Painting the trim vibes for DR RON PULLIAM.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #89 on:** April 05, 2022, 08:19:51 AM »

When Jeff leaves, I will go to the postal office and then hunt for some food.
