Since then....
I've done even more. (Where is this energy coming from? I wish I knew...)
George came home early, so the three of us went out and brought the 'dead' car up here to the house so the guys can get the engine swap shit done.
After we got the car dropped off, George started working on that, Eric had to go milk and feed and I chipped up and removed a huge sheet of ice from offa the driveway and went back out walking again.
While I was out there, I was pokin' around in an old trailer and saw, again, a computer table/desk thing. So, we went and got it and brought it in here. It was only gonna get ruined out there and the table we had the pooter on was more unstable that I am, so...what the hell, ya know?
Then, I made spaghetti anda meataballs for dinner-with garlic breadsticks and NOW I'm gonna make some Peanut Butter Cookies.
The dudes are watching wrestling.
I've got old episodes of 'Friends' on. Think I'm gonna switch to "The Odd Couple" movie...the original with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
Or maybe "Max Dugan Returns"...
Peace.

So far today....
If ya count very early this morning, I have baked a cake, slept for about 6 or 7 hours, got a shower, washed my hair and I'm currently dressed for outdoors.
Yes...I am voluntarily leaving the house, during daylight hours, to wander about outside and no, said house is not on fire.
I just want air....and it's not nose-hair freezing cold right this second.
So, I'm gonna go dry the hair and go see if I can find the car that has the engine we need for the 'Bird.
I'll be back in a bit...
Peace.

Politics 101...
Remember how I keep saying all politicians are the same and they pretty much all suck but I can't ever seem to articulate precisely why?
Well, here are all the explanations anybody would ever need....I hope.

Do what?
I was thinking about something and I've decided that...I don't get it.
And...it's me.
The fact that it's all so fake is what turns me totally off to it, right?
Yet, I spend a good portion of my time avoiding reality by....imitating Cheech & Chong.
So, what da hell is that about?
I'm clueless. Anyone?
Bueller?

I think I oughta just go to bed...
I'm sitting here trying to find info about Tracey Thurman, a woman who was viciously attacked and left a quadriplegic by her husband Charles "Buck" Thurman in Torrington, Ct. back in the '80's. (Yeah, I have the movie starring Nancy McKeon...)
Anyhoot, I'm also watching a tape I made of a VH-1 marathon of "Behind the Music".
John Denver's story is running now....this dude kills my heart.
His song "Ain't it Good to be Back Home Again" rips my heart out with the line "Sometimes, this old farm feels like a long lost friend..." because it IS Wellacrest to me.
"Annie's Song", however, makes me cry from the first note to the last.
I ever get to record me singing, it's gonna be this song, re-titled "Eric's Song"...
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again Between Liar Guys latest bullshit, the fact that I'm sitting here feeling sorta sick (not sure what it is...) and that this song ALWAYS does this me, I think I've had enough of this day. Sucks that John DENVER (not Liar Guy) is dead.
And, to be perfectly honest, most all of his songs hurt my heart at least a little. I realize they're mostly about Colorado and all, but they sound like Idaho to me and they remind me (hard) that Eric isn't where he belongs. He belongs home...in Idaho. Going up a mountain, to see the valley below, with headphones on listening to John. He'd get done looking at the land he loves and turn around, step up onto his horse and ride to the next valley. If God gives any kind of a damn at all, he will be doing this again someday. I hope I get to see it.
If I could have anything I wanted, this would be it. 'Cause no matter how much I may have changed his day-to-day life, no matter how much happier he is now...it won't, it can't, be complete until he's home again.
In Idaho, that beautiful state, with it's mountains, valleys, streams, openness, clean air.....
After what he's been through and survived, it's what he deserves. I want that for him more than I want anything for myself.
Please, God?

Here we go again....
Liar Guy has added the next chapter.
Tonight he came into the tank room (the area out in the milk house where the milk tank is-not anywhere in my house, thank Jesus) and told Eric WITHOUT BEING ASKED that this chick is supposed to call us tomorrow. He had a whole great big story about how she (allegedly) asked him why he keeps bugging her about it (horseballs) and he said that we just want to know. Then he said he gave her our number (again...he allegedly did this LAST week) and that if (when) she doesn't call, let him know (sigh) and he'll give us her number (no, I do not know why he didn't just do THAT tonight, except that-as usual-this is all bullshit).
Some day, reeeeal soon, there's gonna be a post called "The Final Chapter" and, in keeping with the Pusser tradition, it's gonna be about death and an axe handle WILL be involoved.
Stay tuned.

OMFG!!!!

Believe it or not...
(And, I'm havin' a hard time (kinda) with it myself....)
It's still going. The pooter is still fine, so far. Matter of fact, this morning, unlike yesterday, it was just like I left it last night. Didn't freeze up, accept any tongue kisses from virus infected emails...we haven't even gotten any more junk mail from that 'message a minute' shit spreader (yet...lol).
I did, however, get a tool or two from Jane to (and I loooove the sound of this)...to THROTTLE the crapflooders. (I have to be careful typing that because my fingers immediately hook-out to accomodate a windpipe, thereby making it hard to type with any accuracy at all...)
But I do like that 'throttling' part I gotta tell ya. Sounds fun, doesn't it?
I need to go get my brain back....I've been distressed sitting here since last night by a calf. I know that doesn't make much sense, but, it is true. The calf hutches, where they keep the calves from about 9 seconds after they're born til they're too damned big for the 'stalls' are right across the driveway from me. Normally, that's no big deal. However...it was last night and first thing this morning.
There's one heifer out there screaming her fuckin' head off since yesterday afternoon. She's being, or actually already HAS been weaned offa milk. She is not happy about this. She is also not in the right place anymore. When they finish the milk cycle, they're supposed to be moved into the big barn with the older calves, not left out there with everybody else getting milk while she stands there watching...wanting...and not getting any. It's fuckin' heartless. Yesterday was her first day of being off milk completely....see, they're given milk twice a day at first, then, like, the last week or so, they get cut back to once a day, then none. When they get down to none, they're moved. Except this one wasn't. Poor lil bitch has been out there since YESTERDAY screaming for milk, not knowing why she was forgotten. I cannot handle that. At all.
Most women, normal women I suppose, have this reaction to crying human babies. Not me, man. Crying human babies only piss me off. Swear to God...I hate that noise. And that's all it is, too...noise...horrendous noise. Baby animals bawlin', though...now that brings out the Mom in me. My Dad has often joked that'd I step on a human baby to save a kitten and he is 100% abso-fuckin'-lutely correct. So, this poor calf...Jesus.
I know weaning is necessary, I know. I took care of over 100 calves a day, top to bottom, every day back at Wellacrest. I KNOW how this shit works. I also know that a calf screaming to this extent is just wrong. I hadda sit here and hear it last night...I even asked Eric if there were any overly-loud voiced calves out there, because if not, one must be out. He said it was just a loud one. So, I tried to block it out. Didn't work. I went to bed before midnight, if that tells ya anything about how bad it was...Then, first thing this morning, I come back out here and what do I hear? This poor baby still screaming for milk.
Well...I got on the radio, spoke about three words to Eric about this and wound up in TEARS. I told him, either someone out there was gonna tend to this poor baby, or I fuckin' would. He finally realized that she was off milk completely and moved her. Thank God. Peace at last and she's where she shoulda been put yesterday. Jesus. Now, she's in a huge pen with a few other recently weaned babies. They can at least explain it to her now...lol. Poor fuckin' baby.
The longer I'm involved with dairy farming, the more I hate how it's done. Farmers can be some stupid, heartless fuckholes, especially when there's a God damned dollar to be made or saved. Anybody who puts money before an animals well-being is a piece of shit. Especially especially when said animals well-being is directly related to yer future profits. But, all these guys are so fuckin' short-sighted and STUPID, they don't seem to be able to grasp the concept of spending a little cash now to make lots more later. And, consequently, dairy farming has gone to hell in a handbag with no hope of recovery. They're too busy injecting cows with all kindsa shit to make 'em get pregnant, make more milk and produce, produce, produce...fuck the animal. Let's just ring every drop of milk and baby we can outta her, using her up in about 5 years, then sell her for slaughter. And, that's argued to be okay because "it's a business". Pfft. Bullshit. Cow 'business' can be done a lot less cruelly than it is now. It's not about anything except money. And, because it is, it's doomed to failure. And, I for one, am no longer interested in adding to it.
I still want to farm, still want to work with the animals...I just want to find a farmer somewhere on this earth who isn't a money grubbin bastard. Maybe find one who actually at least LIKES his animals and would then want to take care of them properly.
That ain't here.
Not even.
In the meantime...heh. PETA is a God damned shame. Great concept, horrific execution of said concept. Do any of those jerkweeds even ever see or touch or feed or take in or take care of a single animal ever? Noooo.
They're too fuckin' busy being retarded and getting in the news to be bothered with ACTUALLY HELPING AN ANIMAL.
That's alright...they're gonna be one level in hell deeper than lying, married assholes in Nevada who hurt good girls.
Even if ya don't know what I mean by that...rest assured it's true.
I almost wouldn't mind be consigned to hell myself just to watch PETA-assholes and farmers (which is redundant) fry.
I wish "Cows With Guns" could actually happen. They could teach the deer...then it'd be all kinds of fun and funny.
Whenever yer ready, *girls, just let me know.
(*My word for 'cows') I have to go bite something, now.
I'll be back.
Grrrrr!

Still, still workin'...
Sorry for the light blogging but....
I get so caught up on the imdb page reading all that cool shit about movies...
That and just workin' this thing like a car with a 'carbon choked carb'...you know? That exuse we use to floor it and do, like...275 mph in a 35 zone?
Yeah....like that.
Now...I'm goin to sleep.
My neck is killin' me....

Peace.

Still workin...
So far, the pooter is cooperating. Like, 'Wow, man'. (lmao)
I have, however, managed to give myself a 'starter headache' already...lol.
Briefly (shaddap!), someone (a GUY) made a snide remark to a rather impassioned comment (or two) that I made somewhere. I went da hell off a bit and challenged him to explain it. THEN, I looked at his blog and changed my mind. He's sad. Pitiable and sad, so now I feel bad for him and all...however, if he's stupid enough to piss on my leg again and ask 'what rain?', I will take him down. Hard.
Lord knows, he's given me more than enough ammo to get the job done without even breaking a sweat.
BUT...I'm gonna be nice for now...see if he wants to 'play'. If so...fine. If he just shuts up and quits defending low-life, lying LOSERS, all will be well.
We shall see.
In the meantime...
I need an aspirin...
But, just one this time....(so far)...lol
Peace.

I better knock, knock, knock on wood...
(My Gawd...did we actually think that was a cool song? Knock on wood? WTF? And...to a 'disco' beat? *shudder*)
But, I guess I really oughta...hang on a sec (raps self on skull with knuckles several times) (ow)...but, it's been about 8 hours since I did the shit I know how to do to 'fix' this thing and....it's still going great. Even sped it up some. Cool.
I think I must be 'channeling' Paul, or something...lol.

Geoff moved...
I was checkin' out his new place, when I saw a name mentioned in his comments that got me all tingley...ooooffa. The name?
Dave Schultz
I'm not sure who they were talkin' about, but this is the one I mean.I loooove this guy.
Him, Rick MacLeish, Bernie Parent, Gary Dornhoefer, Bobby Clarke, Orest Kindrachuk and the rest of 'em were one of the best hockey teams EVER.
Stanley Cup THREE TIMES IN A ROW. Man, when they traded him at the end of the '75-'76 season, it broke my heart. That was probably the stupidest move ever made in professional hockey. This man mowed down the opposition and more than helped the Flyers get those three cups. Then whadda they do? Ship his ass of to frickin' Lala Land. Real nice.
So, now the Flyers are in the same spot, to me, as the rest of the Philly teams.
They suck.
Dave, they done ya wrong and not everybody was happy to see ya go. Matter of fact, I ain't paid 'em one bit of attention since. And, if'n yer ever in the market for a split lip, try callin' the pansies who play hockey in Philly now the Broad St. Bullies in front of me. I'll correct ya quicker on that than I will the difference between 'oldies' and 'classic rock'. And, that takes me about a nano-second. Man, he was gorgeous.

Okay, I give up...
tkr (yes, you, Terry)...where was it that contest is you said you entered me in? I thought first it was Outside the Beltway. Looked there, didn't find it. Then, Parkway Reststop popped into my head. Checked there, too. Nada.
I swear I thought I saved the emails, but then, I am famous for clicking 'delete' when I mean 'reply' and my computer is having an ongoing nervous breakdown, so God only knows where they went.
And, only you knows where the contest went...lol.
Can ya give me a clue? Again?
(Sorry I'm such a ditz...)
(Psst...it's actually ".mu.nu", not ".com"...lol. *hugs*)

You guys...
Are the absolute coolest people....
I've been searching my comments for something (which I cannot find) but, in reading thru 'em all, it hit me again how utterly sweet, supportive, helpful, funny and forgiving you all are.
Thank you all so much.
Oh, and Anton...I get those too. I just don't say so...lmao. (There are some seriously twisted individuals out there, huh?)

Okay, okay...I get the point...
I was just futzin' around in Site Meter and saw where someone found me using the search "Stevie Ray Vaughan trivia questions". (I'm in the top 10 somewhere, I think...) I scrolled down the page a bit more and found this.
Now, my first thought was.."Wow. Okay, I get it. Yeah, things could be a lot worse than an insane computer. Got it."Then, I figured 'what the hell' and decided to just go on and post the link so more people can know about Joe Sas, another victim of 9/11. It seems like he was a really nice man. His 15 year old daughter died the April before he did of a brain tumor. His wife and remaining daughter are some STRONG people. Man. Their faith is impressive. And calming.
So, if ya want, go meet Joe.
To me, it feels like taking 'us' back from the terrorists to let Joe touch my (and your) life, even if he's not here anymore. Maybe it can make the loss a little less, somehow. Maybe it's a way to tell the terrorists that what they did, killing this man and all the others, isn't stopping the victims from reaching out and being heard and known and it's also not stopping us from receiving lessons from them.
I don't know.
I just know I found this guy thru my Site Meter and it's got to be for a reason. Thanks, Joe.

Cheese and Rice Krispies...
Jeez, man...the previous post looked like I had Acidman type it for me before I fixed it.
Apparently, typing, or trying to, while in the grip of 'stupid computer induced insanity' ain't such a hot idea...
Rob's just pissed.
Gotcha.

I think this thing has picked up a virus...
That would explain a lot.
When I first got here a little while ago, it was being screwier than usual. Mind you, when I left it last might, it was fine....s-l-o-w, but fine, otherwise. I go to bed (my mistake), come back out and ...here we go...
I get the 'normal' or 'safe' shit again and make it go 'normal'.
Then it wants to give me a page about some kinda Windows shit it can't find. Something about wini-some shit, I think.
Then it goes to the black page that says 'push any key to start', so I did. It takes about a minute, but the desk top appears. Then this little 'search' thing shows up saying it can't find 'msdos.exe' and I say "Fuck off" and close it and it all works anyway....siiiigh.
SO! I run Adaware, get rid of the shit. Update Adaware, run it again and get rid of the shit...except for this 'virus' it says it found and can't clean and I should delete it, so I did. Then, I hadda reboot AGAIN and re-run Adaware. It found 4 more things, so I dumped them and ran it yet again. Came up clean the last time, but I am CERTAIN if I shut down, it's gonna take me thru all those black pages fulla gibberish again...so, I'm hoping to not hafta do that. This is another one a those times when I hate this shit, by the way. The virus it says it found is called win95/Coke22231, whatever the fuck that means. It's alleged to be (or have been-WHATEVER!!!) in C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\1654605451.
Now. What the hell does that mean? It said I could delete it, which I did and replace the file, which I have no idea what the fuck that means. Why the hell would I want to replace an infected file after I just went thru HELL getting rid of it? That's just stupid.
Then again...so are viruses and the scum who start them. And, this machine for doing whatever it did to get infected. I mean...I wasn't even on here, ya know? I was ASLEEP!!! It wasn't my doing, but....guess who gets to go bald (and drive Paul to pound his head on a desk) fixing it?
Here's a hint: It ain't any of the animals in this house or the animal who made up the fuckin' virus shit, 'kay? And, it ain't Eric or George. Or, for that matter, anybody else on the entire goddamned planet except ME.
I wouldn't mind so much, fixing stuff I fucked up, but this is getting beyond ridiculous. I'm totally convinced that if I were to unplug this thing, throw it outside, never to so much as look at it again, it would still do shit to mind-fuck me. I don't know how, but I know it would.
Honestly. Anyhoot...(giggle)...I'm dealing with this the best I can, but I have one (million) question(s)....Why does it hafta put me thru all this new bullshit AND tell me it's searching for msdos.exe, which that sounds like it won't work without it, but then it does work anyway? If it has to be such a pain in the balls about all this crap, but it'll work without it, or whatever, why doesn't it then just shut the fuck up and work without all the new and improved bullshit? Why put me thru it, if it doesn't matter anyhow...you stupid, plastic spawn of Satan? Siiiiggghhhh. Stock tip for ya's...buy aspirin company stock. It's gonna do nothing but go up as long as this thing persists in it's pyschotic behavior. And...I am no longer going to be responsible for any actions I take born of frustration, up to and including beating the snot outta Jon.
Okay?
Good. I'm gonna go smoke something.
(Hope the bits of plastic don't choke me too much...)
Arrgh!
(Instead of 'Peace'...ya know?)

Just checkin....
This mothafuckin' stupid assbitin' computer....I swear. I'm working on a post...an important one...it's my attempt to exorcise the demon responsible for the latest mind-fuck I'm being put through. I saved it to draft, half through, to check a date, went back, finished it, changed it from draft to publish, clicked save and watched while it went to hell. Thanks a load.
So, this is just to see if this shits gonna publish or give me that lame-assed 'Cannot find page' maggot-infested bullSHIT again or what.
Son-of-a-Goddamned-bitch....
You'd fuckin' BETTER do yer job.

Ctrlpan.dll and other miscellaneous shit...
Yeah, it's about that time again....AND I have a new toy for ya's. It's a free online virus scan that cleans 'em out. The ones that can't be cleaned out, it lets you delete. It's pretty easy and it didn't take too long. And, this being the first thing I've done since I ran this, I have to say this machine is responding very well now. (And, I was still wantin' to throw it less than an hour ago for being slow.)
Virus scan
CWShredder Adaware gets rid of tracking cookies and spy shit. You do all three of these things in addition to your regular maintenance and you shouldn't have many problems at all...with anything....ever. Unnerstaaaand? Yes, I am so tired I'm goofy. Why?
What's yer excuse?
