Day 19,977

Thinking hard right now if I have my day count right. This is weird. I was pretty sure I had my spreadsheet pretty tight, but now I’m thinking maybe I had it all wrong. Lisa’s 20K day is supposed to be this coming Wednesday, but that’s not working right in my head. TIme to check …

Day 19,973

It’s Saturday night here in rural Douglas County, and we’ve had quite the busy day. Some of my family will be coming over for a visit on Memorial Day, and we’re working vigorously to get the house and property ready to receive them. I jumped on the lawn mower first thing this morning and spent …

Day 19,972

It’s a casualĀ  Friday night in rural Douglas County, and Lisa and I are watching the NBA playoffs. Cleveland is facing an elimination game, but LeBron James has the team on his back, the Cavaliers up by sixteen over the Boston Celtics as we head into the fourth quarter. Kids and Lisa played in the …

Day 19,971

We had a little weather blow through rural Douglas County late this afternoon. There were a few branches on the ground, broken off from the willow tree in the front of the house, and some water in the garage, plus a few boxes knocked over. Nothing we can’t deal with. I wasn’t at the house …

Day 19,970

OK, kids, it’s old Grampa Bob on a Wednesday night in rural Douglas County. We all jumped in the pool tonight. It was fun. I have a feeling this is going to be a pretty special summer here at the house. The girls are making plans for having some of their friends over for get-togethers, …

Day 19,969

It’s Tuesday night in rural Douglas County, and we’re hoping the pool doesn’t turn green. Being a first time pool owner isn’t always fun. We’ve had to deal with a couple of tears in the vinyl liner, and the whole algae leading to green pool thing. I think we’ve got it whipped now, or more …

Day 19,968

It’s been an above average Monday here in rural Douglas County. I began a five-day class teaching Microsoft Exchange 2016. Bonnie began her internship over at Bayer. Gracie did Gracie stuff, and Dane went back to Lawrence High as he closes out his last week as a junior in high school. My day was pretty …

Day 19,967

A Sunday evening in May, with thunderstorms looming here in rural Douglas County. I’m getting my blog kicked out during the halftime of an NBA playoff game. Golden State is up on Houston by ten. Dane and I spent most the day in Topeka, sitting around a table rolling funny shaped dice and pretending to …

Day 19,966

I’m here in rural Douglas County, sitting in the shared office space Lisa and I have, and I hear bugs hitting the wind at a very high rate of speed. I can’t help but wonder how they got so worked up that they felt the need to approach terminal velocity. I guess the speed at …

Day 19,965

Hi gang, old Grampa Bob here, squeezing in a couple hundred words on a Friday night. I’m tired. Spent a lot of time on my feet today. Knees clicking when I walk. Ugh. So… my knees. I haven’t told you about my knees. Hylix oil is nourishing herbal oil providing the best ways to people, …
