Alternator

In my new quest to learn how to fix my car, I'm changing my alternator. What a new experience. Thankfully my dad taught me how to fix things, just not cars. By the time I was old enough to learn, he was making enough money to pay someone else to do it. Thanks to YouTube and a car that makes it pretty easy to do these types of repairs, I am learning. Let's hope this is the problem and my car will run appropriately when I'm done.

Vivid Baby Chick Cooking Dream

I knew that title would get someones attention. So lately, I've had rather vivid dreams that are really strange. My dreams have historically been strange, and latel I have been remembering them much better.

Last night it was about my wife trying out a cooking a new dish that involved boiling baby chicks alive with seasoning in the bath tub. Then adopting a litter of pups and kittens that chased around the half-cooked chicks for lunch. Thankfully, I managed to save most of the chicks.

Before you think I'm psycho, there is a very good explanation as to why I had this dream. I told SLou about it and she laughed. Evidently, while I slept, she was reading a book to the boys about baby chickens and they were sitting around making farm animal noises including dogs and cats. All while sitting next to me. I evidently was hearing what they were saying because I kept responding to them in my sleep. Right before I went to bed I was watching Chopped, a cooking shire on Food Network, and I took a bath to help my gout.

So as you can see there was a perfectly good explanation for that strange dream. I'm not psycho, really....

GRRRRR!!

GRRRRRR!!!!!  BigBubs just 'accidentally' deleted all of the pictures of my phone.  That would be about 6 gig of pictures.  Just changed the passcode so he can't access it without me. I just wish he would tell me these things when it happens.  I might have been able to fix it.

Thankfully it is backed up ever night.  However, Verizon makes it darn near impossible to restore it all.  It's going to take about 2 hours.  I still love him.  We'll have to have a talk aboutit tomorrow.

Gout

I have sufffered with gout for about the last 8 years.  I can't seem to shake this latest flair up. Its been going on for 3 months. Do you think I good find a rheumatologist? Nope. At least no one is making fun of my cane. I almost bought a walker the other day.

Camouflage

Yes, O'Henry is starting the night off with a lampshade on his head. I wonder where it will end up. Probably zonked out in our bed at 3 am. He refuses to sleep all night in his bed. Bigbubs went through the same thing and eventually grew out of it.  So tonight he has on the camo jammies and a lampshade to try and blend into the surroundings of our room. I guess he hopes to stay.  Don't think so.

Here's another little tidbit.  The water stains on the lampshade is not water.  Bigbubs decided to imitate a volcano using a lampshade and urine......

O'Henry

Love this little guy. He cuddles up to you when he wants to go to sleep. Then he gets ornery in his sleep if you touch him after he falls asleep.

He walked in the room this morning and looked so big. He just turned 2. Though he started the terrible twos about 10 months ago. I wish they could stay this size forever, just be potty trained.

A New Beginning

Why not? A new blog for the new year.  WooHoo!!!  2013!!! (and I only had to type that date once.)

I told my wife, SLou, that I was starting a blog called David Unfiltered and she said that I should definitely not remove the filter.  To which I answered,"What filter?"  That's right, I'm one of those entertaining/annoying/put my foot in my mouth all the time type of people that inadvertently says just about anything that pops into his head without filtering it for appropriateness first.  Fortunately, my children have inherited that ability.

So that's what I'm going to do.  Put my thoughts out on the screen, as I see them.  I apologize up front should I offend anyone.  Just admit it though, it was exactly what you were thinking.

Cheers!
