morning all
thanks for the brew, Mick, quite the treasure trove.... I know it must be pretty intriguing to find history and take a fleeting step back into time. I know it is for me surveying and finding old corners, old roads, etc., but you get to bring them home!

went up to our cabin yesterday for a bit of clean up. Hadn't been all year so it was in dire need. Worked till dark, came home and the mrs told me cow's had been in the yard, checked fences and seemed to be in cow turning order so walked up in the woods and found cow ca ca along the road leading to my neighbors so I suspect it is his, either that or I have some potential circus cows.

off and running. be well good friends
Sam

Sounds like a great weekend Mick. Hi Sam!

Back in work today and employing my 3ps thinking about stress and realising its only a thought and wont kill me

Have a great day all

Morning Mick...thanks for the kickstart. Glad the soaking was worth it. Didn't you just have the washing machine looked at, or was that the dryer? Glad you're getting the end of the dentist trips. Speaking of trips, your Holi should be coming up soon.

Morning Sam...cow turning order. LOL I like that. You reminded me of times I would wake up at the ranch, open the curtains, and almost scream when a heard of horses would be looking back at me.

Energy didn't last long but did get household chores caught up. That always makes it nice to wake up to. Think I have the Ex thing sorted, waiting for a lawyer call this morning, but have decided to be positive about it.

Shout out to everyone else, gotta get a brew in me, back later.....:smile:PPQP

Xpost - Starty...realising stress is only a thought is huge, took me a long time to get there! Congrats on your 45th. When you get a chance could you explain your 3p's thinking? I'm interested in what that is and it made me think of the "Tool Box". Haven't been there in ages, may have to check it out again soon.

Mae everybody Mick nice finds

hope everyone has a nice Monday

Well, Sam and Mick very productive and rewarding Sundays for you both. Celtic coins and stuff, I would be so excited. Not too sure what I'd do if a cow appeared in my yard.

The day on the couch made me feel like a slug without achievement. However, I had misplaced my wallet so was into search mode. It was in a plastic shopping bag for crying out loud. I have a bad habit of using my ATM card and tucking it into a pocket, falls out in the car, etc.

I don't know if I mentioned it but I've been without a car for 10 months since my accident and my husband (still married but legally separated) has moved to Michigan, so he gave me a deal on his Lexus SUV. It has a seat and lower back heater which I love for my back issues. I need to have bushings (?) replaced and I hope it keeps me safe for the 2200 mile to TX.

PPQ, good for you on catching up with the housework, I'm a little behind on that.

Hi Pauly, and everyone to come.

BTW Mick, my dog is a chihuahua pug - a chug. I bought her a lovely little bed 2 wks ago and she won't even lie on it. Stubborn little madam.

**porqoui** · October 17, 2016, 03:05 PM

Pauly...good to see you post. Hope you had a good Monday.
SK...any idea when you're going to make the big trek? You make sure that car is safe.

Haven't heard from the lawyer yet but still staying positive.

Hiya PP. Thank you

NS is the one to explain it better. My 3 ps understanding is very humble really. But how I apply it is simply to accept that it is my thoughts that are making me feel uncomfortable. Be it stress, sadness, craving or whatever and allow them to leave without giving them too much more thought time. So I would do that by distraction mainly. Move, change environment, walk, sing, watch something on TV, read, meditate, anything to change my headspace. It takes practise and repetition. But it is comforting to realise we can let these thoughts drift away. Hope that helps a bit

Thanks Starty....helps a lot. Always interested the tools people use to help them stay sober.

Finally talked to the lawyer, about an hour ago, and was hoping for a better outcome. At least I was able to explain things and she's going to check a few things out and call me back on Thursday. So now I have my positive attitude for another 3 days and that's something. Tacos for supper tonight, Pauly want to join me?

**paulywogg** · October 17, 2016, 07:05 PM

I'm always up for tacos PPQP

Good evening Abbers!

Looks like we are stepping back into summer weather this week, weird. It hit 81 today & getting hotter the next few days. Just doesn't feel right, you know what I mean?

Mick, very cools amps you found there, nice

I hope your washer lives & appreciates the new pump. Did the Pain free dentist trip go as planned?
I'm afraid my daughter can't help me out in my shop right now although she has in the past. It would take her half a day just to get down the steps then back up again, ha ha!

Sam, runaway/wandering cows must be an interesting sight!! Better you than me

My computer wants to restart for an update - I'll be back!

**Lavande** · October 17, 2016, 08:55 PM

Tired of waiting for my laptop so I grabbed the iPad, ha ha!

I think I'm just tired so I will wish everyone a peaceful night!

Lav

**porqoui** · October 17, 2016, 09:06 PM

Hope you have a peaceful night too Lav...

**Determinator** · October 17, 2016, 09:30 PM

Hidy Ho ABeroooskis!!

Mick, what a mighty haul, that's fascinating.

Starty, right on, can't let the stress demon work us over.

frustrating day at work fighting with a batch of ill-fitting parts but I'm home and relaxing with homemade meal so all is right in the world.

Meeting with doc tomorrow to go over blood results etc.
