Selfish I know, but had the house valued for a possible sale. Its gone up £125k in 10 years...
Nothing like the taste of a real (not grocery store) tomato
I keep getting calls from people willing to pay a similar increase on my house. This is my home, my grandchildren call it home. While tempting, I won’t sell. Some things are more important than money. It ain’t fancy, but it’s mine.Selfish I know, but had the house valued for a possible sale. Its gone up £125k in 10 years...
I asked a guy at work what proof there is for aliens. He said he perticularly was interested in the extraterrestrials from Sirius a, b and c. When I asked what proof he had, he told me not to be so close minded and basically think more about aliens.
That made me happy in a frustrated way.

I know what you mean. SWMBO is mad kean to move into a bungalow with a smaller garden etc. The current plot by UK standards is huge and is pretty steep to get up the drive to as well. I did say I'd leave in a box but lately with work and having just the 15yrs old daughter and already being late 50's I think Mrs McB is right.......dont tell her I said that either.
As for happy today. Just listening to the birds singing in the garden.
It’s my son‘s 16th Birthday today. We had a nice morning hanging out, open a few gifts, family time. He’s off to hang with friends for the day but wanted to have dinner and evening in tonight with his mom sister and I. Boy becoming man, self discovery, finding your way, and trying to have fun and be social with some obvious challenges and uncertainty. He’s a kind and gentle soul, and I truly enjoy him so much. It made me happy to see how happy he was with the day ahead full of promise.
Roasting some fresh garlic. I think I used Romanian Red today.
Had lunch with my daughter in-law at a road side cafe.
Seeing and hearing a Union Pacific container train zip through town at a healthy clip, powered by EMD locomotives. A rarity now. Most UP trains through here are dogging it these days, and have cheap, frugal and ugly GE locomotives in charge. GE units are homely and have no soul, whereas EMD units look and sound totally badass.
Well, yesterday. Watching my partner and his son fell Douglas fir. It was hot and they were getting it done! Small, but commercial timber, going down fast. Something about watching some real work competently done, knowing I was too old and slow, so completely off the hook. 
Every year we have an appreciation week at work, but due to slow down in business it was cancelled this year. All my guys are here on Tuesday, so I bought pizza for all of us. They were happy, which made me happy.
My oldest granddaughter came home a month ago. Her father has kept her from us for six years, due to his issues with her mother. Today she turned 18, and I can admit without fear that she is here- no one can make her leave. She is a great kid, and graduated with honors from an accelerated high school. She has scholarships, but is taking a year off to reconnect with her brother and sister (different father). We all had a great day today just goofing off. Any day with my grandchildren is a great day
Last night it was a nice drive home for 45 minutes after a 15 hour day, to my woman with dinner waiting. Then a hot shower and a cold beer. Back at work 10hours after clock out. Could be alot worse.

Today, my podiatrist gave the green light to begin walking, sans a boot & crutches, on my injured (5th metatarsal fracture) foot ... the last time the left hoof bore any weight was back in late May.
Being told my oil change would take 1 hour. Come back and your car will be ready. I did, it was. Me happy.
A puppy we inherited from a friend who died unexpectedly has turned out to be quite a charming fellow.
My parents getting here to stay a few nights with us.
I got the ok for a bike ride tomorrow! Me and my Yamaha 1300 Star are going out to Pennsylvania Dutch country!
