Saturday Yet Again !!

Hi Ya Silverhorners, friends, family and total strangers who found your way here by accident. Welcome to The View From Silverhorn Mountain. It's a Saturday morning here at the Lodge. Kind of cool outside this morning, but the weather folks are suggesting (only suggesting now, they no longer try to predict, they are wrong too often) that the next couple of days will be warmer.

The newly founded Ebay business folks are out burning up $100 worth of gas driving around yard sales. It's ok, they will sell the stuff they buy on EBay and probably make $50. Pretty soon the garage will be full of toys and collectables and junk, and eventually I will move most of it out to the garden shed and jam it in there. Then I will quietly but systematically place one or two 'collectibles' in a green bag and put it to the curb for the other type of collection. You can only have so many cabbage patch dolls and beanie babies around before it becomes a bit creepy.

I have a full weekend planned, gonna do a little work around the Lodge, dig out some more of the dandilions and cut the grass. Then it's under the Lodge 4X4 to either change the oil, or have a sleep, it all depends on how I'm feeling when I get there. It is quite restful under there, out of the sun and the rain and the Mrs thinks I am working hard.

Rumor has it that another Lodge is opening just down the mountain. We will be looking down our noses at them, not on purpose but because they are building pretty far down the mountain. Too cheap to buy one of the lots with a view. Unfortunately for them, our septic field drains just above their well which is somewhat unfortunate. However, they will have some nice green lush grass growing around the well. I am sure their guests will enjoy it......If the owner is any indication of the type of clientele they will attract, a smelly septic field won't matter to them. I'm thinking of presenting them with a couple of old garden gnomes as a lodge warming present.

Well, it is Satturday after all, and I have a lot of things to do, places to go, people to see, dogs to walk, cars to drive, girls to watch, wood to chop, grass to cut, weeds to attack......I gotta go!! I will catch you later.

Thanks for visiting Silverhorn Mountain Lodge. We appreciate your concerns, and your opinion matters, but the writer of this blog is already under medical supervison so don't worry, we already know he is crazy!!
