THE CZickness XLIX....Tackling 2023 with CZ style...

Oh sorry to hear that.

I take a simple vitamin d pill and it really helps attitude and energy in the winter. Not trying to oversimplify your problems, of course.

No, i understand. I really should get better with taking vitamins especially as I’m aging. I do have a happy lamp i use in the morning when I have time. Big big help

Morning all...

I'm having problems sleeping too. I know why. My aunt died, and the funeral is this morning.
After getting her covid booster she stopped producing blood. She fought for life for a little over a year, but finally succumbed.
Very gentle, and loving mother, grandmother, and aunt.

Sorry to hear this. My condolences to you and your family.

DadSmith, I am sorry to hear if your loss. Our condolences and prayers for comfort your way.

First gun purchase of 2023 coming tomorrow. My birthday is coming up, and I knew my wife would want me to buy myself something nice. Hope she agrees when I show her what she bought.

GM all. Nice to be the one to drop the turkeys off to school, been a hot minute. I'm usually long gone and greasy before they even get up.

Pickle Lady and I have the day off to make preparations for tomorrow's service. Taking Aunt Margaret to breakfast shortly. There will be bacon involved.

In the midst of all the sadness…

Here’s the current work project. Something very familiar to me… 1970 Pontiac GTO. Original paint, original family, all the paperwork and documentation from new. Super super cool. Some maintenance stuff is all that’s on the list. Replacing some 53 year old rubber parts. A few parts that have decided to not work anymore…





I actually pulled the original build sheet off the car, nobody has set eyes on this since the 3rd week of March 1970 when the car was built. It was on top of the fuel tank, which had to be dropped due to a failed sending unit.. One of the many places you may get lucky enough to find the build sheet. In darn near perfect shape. The dust wiped right off and everything become perfectly visible… 70,000 original miles on this beauty that’s only had necessary maintenance done.

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

I would rather have a colonoscopy done, using a treble hook, than talk politics.

Agreed.

 

[WebSnyper]

I only discuss politics in person with some trusted friends. On the internet there is too much that gets lost with body language, tone of voice, etc.

Too many people let politics get the better of them. Discussion should be rigorous, but respectful.

Sad thing was, I was just in the General Firearms section. I'm up for a good debate when people are rational and want to discuss something. When someone is just constantly on their soapbox, I should just walk away.

This just sucks in so many ways, MM!!!!! hopefully the lights are back on. Let me know what the furnace is doing, or not doing.

Thanks ! The electricity returned at 11PM, and with it ....the furnace.
My generator has been able to run the furnace in the past, but not last night. (?)

 

[MindfulMan]

MM that just plain sucks! Hopefully its all straightened out or will be forthwith.

I'm tired, but all is well today !

My soapbox and I are sad to hear this...

Thoughts and condolences to you and your family.

Same here, DadSmith.

So generator problems?

So generator problems?

I don't think so....the generator was running (4) other circuits without problem.
Plumbing leak persists, and now I need to reschedule that appointment. The fun never stops in a 68 year old home !
