Monday Evening Open Thread: More Work in the Backyard

, , , , , , 0

Papa Smurf and I went out in our backyard this evening and started grabbing a huge mound pinecones and tree branches into separate buckets so we can load the buckets of pinecones in our van and haul them to the dump on the 7th this month and then use the branches including parts of a destroyed dog house as part of the fire pit experiment.

Either way, we didn’t get all the pinecones and branches but we sure got a lot of them so far. We’ll continue looking for more backyard waste and hopefully finish our job either tomorrow or the next day.

Thursday Afternoon Open Thread: Movin’ on up!

, , , , , , 0

San_San and I went to go see our friendly family member this afternoon to help move stuff from their old house and shed to their new house and then clean their old house up afterwards. After we got our job done over there, Papa Smurf and I went to a lumber yard and picked up some 2×4 wood so that he can work on them by drilling a few screws in proper positions, saw a few of them in half, etc.

Then after we went home we had some delicious chicken quesadillas for dinner. It was delicious

Either way, it sure was nice to see our friendly elderly family members once again. 🙂 Open thread!

Sunday Afternoon Open Thread

, , , , , , 0

San_San, Tomala and I went to go see an elderly family member of ours at their house this afternoon, and they were giving us a simple request that needs to be done which is move just about everything to one area around their old house because one of their family members is dying miserably. 🙁 Either way, before we get it started we went to go visit a young female friend of ours at her house and have her help us move stuff around and whatnot.

Took us nearly three hours to get our job done but we’ll wait on moving all the stuff including some from the shed to a new location which is the house that our elderly family member lives either tomorrow or the day after. It sure was nice to help other people move things around. 😀

Wednesday Evening Open Thread: Garden Work Edition

, , , , , 0

I’ve been doing some yard work with Ivan_Fookinov this sunny but breezy evening. My object was to take the bucket full of old dirt from our garden and poor it all on the area next to the entrance of our backyard while Ivan’s shoveling dirt in one bucket at a time.

We even found an enormous weed growing in our garden but unfortunately I do not have a picture of it on my camera. So anyway, it didn’t take very long to get it done but it was an excellent workout. 🙂

Family Road Trip Open Thread

, , , , , , , , , 0

Yesterday my family and I went out on a family road trip to go visit our two friendly elderly cousins who live up in Portland for about 27 years, and we totally lucked out by helping them get us a ‘new’ car that we’re looking for because the first two tries on getting it didn’t go well as planned. Anyway, after we got done chatting over at our cousins’ house we went into a restaurant called The Old Spaghetti Factory for my sister Tomala’s birthday, and we chowed down on some delicious food like toasty cheesy ravioli, spaghetti with meatballs, etc. We also ordered some good cocktail drinks like the White Russian and the Fruit Punch, plus we had some ice cream and spumoni for dessert after we finished our nice family dinner. 🙂

Then the next day we all went to an IHOP restaurant to have some breakfast earlier this morning. We had some delicious pancakes like the original Buttermilk pancake and the Chocolaty Chocolate Chip pancake which is what I ordered, some eggs, hash browns, bacon and sausages. After we got out of the IHOP restaurant and said goodbye to our cousins we drove all the way home so that we can plan on getting rid of our classic Oldsmobile by sending it to a local car dump.

So yeah, it sure was nice seeing our beloved cousins. Can’t wait to go visit them again someday now that we got a brand new transportation. 🙂

Wednesday Late Night Open Thread

There’s nothing new to report tonight other than having a fairly decent day. We had some delicious taco stuff for dinner earlier this evening along with the ‘watermelon’ cake for dessert. Here’s what the cake looks like:

It has red frosting on the top, green frosting along the edges, and it’s sprinkled with chocolate chips to make the cake look like a watermelon. 😛

Once again, the Slackers have managed to live another day. Open thread!

Friday Evening Open Thread: Operation Dinner Assistant

, , , , , , 0

I was assisting San_San in the kitchen on getting ready for dinner. I mashed up the guacamole, stirred up the salsa that San made, and then used the food processor for the first time to shred some cheese with it.

We had some tacos along with some tortilla chips for dinner but unfortunately I do not have a picture of it because I was too busy spending time eating with my family, which is a good family activity to do. 🙂

Belated St. Patty’s Family Dinner Open Thread

, , , , 0

My family and I stopped at an Irish themed restaurant this evening for our belated St. Patrick’s Day celebration. We tried going inside and looking for an open table but the restaurant was crowded with a several dozen people and there was not a single open table for us, so we decided to go eat outdoors instead.

Anyway, we chowed down on delicious Fish n Chips, and ordered some ice-cold boozy drinks while San_San ordered hot tea.

I gotta admit, that was a great (Slacker’s) St. Patty’s Day family dinner for us. Oh, and we also lived for another day too. 🙂

Final Open Thread of the Year

, , , 0

This year has been a really rough one than last year. It went from the notoriously evil orange shit-stain celebrating National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month in January to him blowing up the Wall Street stock market, shutting down the government and continuing the government shutdown until he gets a border wall. However, he will be impeached next year so that he will quit trying to blow up our country and hopefully receive life in prison without parole.

I gotta tell you, this year sucked balls just like the last two years. Now let’s hope next year will be a better year for us.

Short Wednesday Evening Open Thread

, , , 0

We went to go see the belated holiday light show festival this evening, and we got some video footage of some things like the fire-breathing Christmas Lochness Monster, Golfing Santa, gingerbread men playing volleyball and all the others until the rain started falling down. So that’s our cue to leave the light show, but at least we had a good time over there. 🙂

After we got back home from the light show we had delicious cheeseburgers and fries that San_San and Papa Smurf picked up at a restaurant for dinner. Once again, we all lived for another day.

Open Thread, ladies and gentlemen.
