Well that was cool, we all postponed our last break to 3pm to see it. It was neat seeing the ring. The birds all got quiet and the frogs started going off, then when it started getting lighter again the opposite happened.
My brother in law started a GoFundMe if anyone cares to give hime a helping hand.

LOL This Roger Duke guy is weird. Who cares about the price of used cats?
I do
, I have a previously owned cat.
Speaking of cats, the little runt beat up the vet assistant last week at her annual checkup
. I was like she's just 6.5 lbs, I carry her around in one arm lol. I guess she's learned a lot during our wrestling matches .

Spike, did you ever find out if you are going to be in totality for the eclipse on Monday? How about you Skipper? I'm wondering if Spike is north of it and Skipper is south of it.
Where I work it looks like we will be on the edge of totality, I already said I'm working in my building as my boss already said we could take a few minutes to go outside and view it, in fact he gave everyone eclipse glasses this week.
""This surprises me considering the price of used cars.""
I was shocked too, someone is going to buy it and fix it and sell it as a rebuilt title, only the side airbags went off and only the passenger doors and B pillar is damaged. Windshield, A and C pillars, rear quarter panel and front fender are fine. Let's just say I'm glad I'm not a customer of that company that has a certain late show host, rapper and former governor as shills. Luckily both my wife and i's cars have GAP insurance through our insurance company.

Brother in laws car was ransacked up in Michigan in the yard that it was towed to after the accident. His insurance had it towed to their lot here in Ohio and he went to get some personal items Monday and everything in the interior is gone except registration and the manual. Luckily they didn't grab mother in laws scooter out of the trunk. They even took the gas door
probably even stole the gas out of the car. I think insurance will get his car fixed as the damage is just the doors and b pillar.
Well he heard back from his insurance, they totaled it out, their reasoning is any car 5 years or older with $3,000 or more damage gets automatically totaled. Unfortunately for him he didn't get the GAP insurance so now he's out of a car and still owes $5k on it because he bought it for more than it was worth instead of shopping around for a better deal.

What a week. Temp's in my wife's building were a bunch of no shows no calls so guess who got volunteered to go back there the whole week, to top it off my boss told clients we could get orders out ASAP, that didn't go so well since I was working in the other building. My coworkers managed to get one order done and shipped.
Wednesday my brother in law decided to take his mom on a day trip up to Ann Arbor and ended up getting T-boned by a red light running college kid. But of course he left the dashcam at home and no witnesses stuck around to tell the police so his word against theirs. Anyways had to drive all the way up there to pick them up at the hospital and take them home back here in Ohio. Didn't get home that night till 10:30 and went to bed without dinner.
Have a good Easter everyone.

Hey Spike, You aren't in the path of totality for the April 8 eclipse are you? (Bo Duke's 64th bithhday).
I think I'm on the line of totality. Don't really matter anyways as I'll be working that day. Would be nice if it's my building as my boss said he'd give us a few minutes to experience it, but if I'm stuck in the wife's building I wouldn't have the time to see it.

I watched the bristol race and I guess I'm in the minority thinking it was a lousy race. Tires barely lasted 40-45 laps and it seems only JGR teams could manage it leaving everyone else a few seconds behind trying to conserve tires. Goodyear and NASCAR even gave all the teams an extra set of tires. You know maybe it's time NASCAR allowed a full day of practice again to suss out stuff like this so they know ahead of time what might become an issue.

Not sure what changed or if he got permission but the maintenance guy at least put his big American flag back up, seen it when I came home and gave it a salute and a Oh Hell Yeah
. I haven't seen the 2 kitty's that come to my patio for food the past few days though.
Wife is healing good. Driving around now. Still has another month to go before getting Dr permission to return to work. However I'm bringing work home that's easy enough for her to do so she has something to do during the days.
Can't wait for spring to feel like spring though, it is cold out today. Will probably lose some of my perennials that popped up early to the hard frost the next few nights.

I took the trash out yesterday and seen the maintenance guy took everything down, his bird feeders, yard decorations, shepherd hooks, heck even his patio table umbrella. His was the nicest looking flower bed space with all the little light house and other lake inspired decorations along with his feeders.
Our next door neighbor told us today she found a place and is moving next weekend
. I don't blame her as this is BS. I'm sure she won't be the only one breaking their lease and moving out.
-
So I ended up keeping one of the feeders and 2 of the shepherd hooks at home. We'll see what happens next week if they want to push the issue. I think instead of punishing everyone they should just let that one whiney baby
out of her lease so she can go cry somewhere else. If I ever run into her on the property I'm going to give her a peice of my mind.
Another thing in the note is "only minimal decorations allowed. No multi colored lights allowed only single colored solar lights," so basically no more putting Christmas lights up
. Come Christmas time this is going to be a depressing looking complex, there's at least one person in every building that puts up lights and other Christmas decorations outside.

It took 2 days but I got the flower bed and patio cleaned up and took down my bird feeders. Moron lawn crew blew a lot of leaves and debris into the patio, filled 2 garbage bags. I also ran into the veteran, actually a lady, I thought it was a guy that lived in that apartment. Chatted with her a few minutes about the new rules. She said she's going to keep feeding the cats, birds and keep the flag up in the window
and if they push back she's going to bring up the maintenance issues she's been trying to get fixed the past few months.

Disregard the GoFundMe link. He found a buy her pay here dealer that rolled the $5k into a loan for another car. He just jumped from one deep pool to one where his head is barely above water but whatever. I offered advice and he didn't care to listen. He called last night boasting that it has more options than our cars, So it also has 4x the miles ours do. Heck add the miles of both the wife's and my car's and they still wouldn't come close to his new car. I wish him good luck with it though and hopefully he can keep his head above water on it.
