Cabin work
Larry and I went to the cabin this weekend and hauled and stacked 2 cords of wood.
Then I raked the yard and got rid of our neighbor's brambles he'd been dumping on our property. Thanks mister!
AND I finally got the heater working. WOO HOO!!
Here's the wood shed when we first started. The pile on the left is the old wood.
This may not look steep, but it's a short, very steep hill Larry had to push all that wood up. I helped by staying out of the way!
Chico and Rowdy were a great help
Just when we got done with one cord, Johnny (the wood guy) delivered the 2nd cord...which meant Larry had time to haul it up the hill instead of leaivng it for me to do on Monday!
Two cords are laid in and ready for winter...come on SNOW!
Brambles I raked up. Sheesh
Oh, here's the gas valve I finally had replaced and appears to have been the culprit all along. MAN! Should have done this last year!

Last of my summer flowers
Larry hates these because I let the bushes get so big and tangly, which I do. But I love their cheery look.
I think they're called black-eyed Susans, but everyone calls them freeway flowers cause they grow wild along the freeways.

Here they are along the sideyard fence.
But they clean up nice, see!

Chico bath
Chico is the snuggliest dog ever. He loves to cuddle up under your chin and sleep under the covers with you. He also likes to roll in shit....hence, he finds himself in the pantry sink quite often for a scrubbing, which he hates.
Walmart is the worst place on earth
My car battery died Friday night as I pulled into my driveway. OK, that's kind of good.
The next morning, I got up early and decided to go to Walmart and get the battery replaced. That was bad.
I NEVER go to Walmart and now I know why.
I got there at 8 a.m. along with ONE other person (who also happened to have his battery die when he got home Friday night, weird) and waited for 2 and a half hours for them to put in a stinkin' battery, which they told me would take 30 minutes tops!
GRRRRR!!!!
I had some time to kill so I wandered around the retail giant and here's what I learned.
They have random Raider stuff just scattered throughout the store for no apparent reason. No other teams, just Raiders (well, one or two LA Dogers things, but that's it). I wondered if it's because Bakersfield is a big Raiders town or is Walmart the big fan?
Don't know.
But here is some Raiders stuff you could find in the blanket and sheets section.
The clothing and placement of things was also interesting.
Here, in Juniors, all tops were made for very small, kind of slutty girls.
Then in the aisle was a massive display of every kind of donut you could want.
And right around the corner from the skinny slut tops and past the donuts, yup, the moo moo section. Because at Walmart, you either fit into the skinny slut stuff, or it's extra large all the way.
Raiders slippers.
It's hard to get the feel for this "outfit" which I found in the slutty section. But the top is very small and open practically to the naval. It is paird, obviously, with the micro denim mini. Slutty lumberjack?
You could pick up Raiders ponchos in the hunting section, of course.
And here's a funny decal on a car parked outside Walmart, which I think explains so much.
