The last day of 2018 is proving to be a slightly wet one,

which is always good for 'ol California. And

it's been a heck of a year, hasn't it?

A Jimi Hendrix poster I earned selling magazine 

subscriptions when I was in the seventh grade.

I wasn't too experienced then, but I started

becoming experienced shortly thereafter.

Just a (real) short. Cooking up a few taters.

The payoff.

My son made sure that it snowed every night at

El Rancho De La Tex during November and December.

 

Well, I had another tooth pulled today. This one hurt quite a bit

afterwards, but it is a good kind of hurt as it is resolving an issue

that has given me a lot of pain for the last nine days.

Look at all that gauze. I think I was suppose to bleed a lot.

I go back in five days to have the stitches removed.

Christmas tree in my dentist's office.

Santa, stop here.

On the way home from work last night one of

my teeth felt kind of funny. Today it was pulled.

That was WAY out of the blue.

The Christmas tree in my dentist's office.

 

"Citizen! There is nowhere to run. Please immediately

return to the store with the stolen merchandise. An

officer will be waiting for you. Failure to comply

will result in physical intervention.

I repeat: Citizen!..."

Damn.

It's Mission Impossible Day here at The Ranch!

I had seen "Mission Impossible: Fallout" at the

theater and KNEW I was going to buy the Blu-ray

when it was released.... and I did. This is the sixth

Mission in the series and it does not let down.

The booklet is small enough to fit in the Blu-ray case

and is ten pages (including the cover and back). It

has photos of some of the stunts and descriptive

quotes about them. One of them says that Tom Cruise

learned to fly a helicopter just for this movie. I didn't

know that this little booklet came with the movie so it

was a pleasant little surprise.

I watched the movie again and it was great fun the

second time around. I rate this movie nine out of

ten Broken Ankles.

 I went to the movies on this rainy day. All of my Regal

Crown Club points are set to expire next month. I need

to go to a few movies so they are not wasted.

The "Possession of Hannah Grace". Bad choice. Bad bad choice.

I think they were banking on yet another girl who could contort her

body while they added some bone cracking noises to make this movie

scary. It did not work. Went nowhere. I've seen worse. But.... If you

want to see this movie, wait until it shows up in the $3.74 bin at

Walmart. Because it will. I rate this movie 4.5 out of 10 Xanax.

A little rain.

While out and about, driving through some

much needed rain, I spotted a rainbow.

Pretty happy today. While doing regulars at Walmart I was

happy to find out that there were quite a few left-overs from

Black Friday. Most of these movies I wanted to see in the

theaters, but because of time or money I was unable to.

All of them I wanted to buy but because money has been a

little scarce this year I was waiting awhile. I really wanted

the Blu-ray versions of these movies, but hey, for the price?

DVDs will work. If I want the Blu-rays down the line, then

maybe. All of the *DVDs were $3.96 with the exception of

"Annihilation" which was $5.96. I can't wait to watch these.

File this under: "More Than You Wanted to Know".

*"Home Alone" is the Blu-ray and DVD edition.

 

A hawk out looking for lunch.

I cannot ever get a very good picture of them.

Pirate!

Bathroom pals.

In about 1991 or 1992 we had a huge beautiful tropical fish

tank. It was really something wonderful to just sit and watch.

Anyway, this skeleton hand sat in the bottom of it... just

looking really cool. Besides the skeleton hand, my

favorite things in the tank were the little crabs.

The hand is dated 1989.

I inherited this guy who is missing his hand.

He is Pinhead from the Puppet Master movies.

I think whoever created this guy

has done some weird drugs.
