Happy smile day! Let's focus on the positive on this bright, crisp October Friday. What makes you smile today? For me, I am smiling at my garage sale. I enjoy talking to random people. I love them handing me cash for plants I proplifted from home depot over the last 4 years. If you're having a shit week and a shit day, here's someone to put a smile on your face Spoiler Happy Friday, folks!
Oh yeah. That would make you happy, you horror movie loving freak. I've seen splash images of that movie but started to watch the trailer posted. I gave up after a minute, covered in goosebumps. I've been going for spooky shows for October. I've been watching a lot of xfiles and ashe vs evil dead. I don't think I can do this Smile movie.
That pic definitely put a smile on my face, but the end of the work day and a three day weekend does even more.
FINE. Just totally ignore the Canadian Thanksgiving. Be that way. ANYWAY... Had a long week... tonight is a nice, relaxing night... weather is starting to cool off. This weekend will probably be the "winterize the yard" weekend. Also had a great gift show up today... one of my oldest and best friends surprised me with a hand made fly rod... and it's a beautiful thing. I'm kind of hoping to get out in the woods in Northern Ontario in the Airstream in a couple of weeks... spend a couple of weeks working remote from a cold lake with the leaves changing colour, cold weather, fishing, day working via Starlink, more fishing, and just chilling in the Tin Can. SOOO looking forward to that. The season is coming to an end soon, so it's the last chance.
There is a family/flock of ducks that have nested in my neighbour's pool for years, mostly because he hardly used it so it was just a pond. He sold the house, and this is the first year that the pool has really been used... and the ducks just don't know how to handle it. They've got a family (of ducks) that are walking around in my other neighbour's back yard, wondering why they can't go and hang in their normal pond. It's bizarre.
We've had ducks land in our pool for a few years. Usually it was just admire them for a little bit and then chase them off. But last season, we were away more than we were at home and they took a liking to our back yard. Ended up with duck shit everywhere and a nest with 6-7 eggs in it. Now, as soon as they land, we're out there scaring them off.
We’ve got a flock of a dozen or so turkeys that are sleeping in the neighbor’s trees. So every evening they come from the field across the road, like a fucking platoon in ‘Nam, then dick around the edge of our yard until sundown.
They really do shit everywhere. Every minute they squirt some liquid poo. It sounds like a squeeze bottle of ketchup.
I’m sure he does. I’ve never really dealt with him aside from a polite midwest wave here and there. Last night my wife and I were watching TV, and hear the sound of sliding on gravel and a crash. So our house is on the corner of the subdivision road, and all the mailboxes are on a big wooden sign/platform. That was destroyed, and his truck was halfway in our yard. My wife said “he’s driving off,” but I could see from another window that it was the neighbor and he just pulled into his driveway and shut his car off. Went outside for a few minutes, inspected the damage, could see his dashboard lights were still on. So I called the cops, told them what was up. They said it would be a while before they could get out, but the county sheriff was here in two minutes. Got to watch him try and avoid a sobriety test while repeating “but I was in my driveway” before they came over to talk to me. Turns out he had been called in by somebody else for swerving from a little town twenty minutes away, so they were already looking for him.
You did the right thing. Nobody should feel like a rat in that situation, it legitimately saves lives. There is no excuse justifying it. Call a cab/Uber, you cheap fuck.
