Havic Home

Tit for tat I say. So to keep pace w/ my fave blog, Alien To Me, thought I'd post some pics of the ol homestead.



The life's blood of
the Havic Empire.





Our fireplace.
Yes... we
have fires
down here.












The Duke.







Our new tank...
all 5 gallons of it.









Halloween sneak peak.

Very cool! Never cared for Koontz..but I like S. King. I see your GB book. :) (If I know you, you were pretty conscious of what was in that picture.) Not a girlscout cookie box in sight.

Love that fireplace.

That's funny you took your fishtank..I was thinkin of doin that next, too. Think I'll vacuum it first.

Aren't you worried your gnomes'll get scared? Poor things.

Fun pics..glad you posted em.

Little say want to say somethin before she goes to bed: "Hi, you are lucky it gets cold there. How big is your fireplace? We want to come over and play in the snow."

I'm thinkin she hasn't quite gotten a grip on the distance to Mich thing.

RecknHavic said...

Well, I did place a pc a blue tape over my last name on a plack on wall. Windexed the table. OK...picked up all the wrappers too; but THAT's it.

The reason we got the new tank was because the old one was...well..unvacumable.

Had to take the hangin gnome down, too many spider webs...you'll see.

We're the "goin way overboard" people everyone has in their neighborhood.

Seriously..it's not that extensive.

Linda said...

For S:
Our fireplace is not as big as yours, but we do use it a lot. Ya'll are welcome here anytime. Tell your dad to book a flight...he needs to go ice fishing.

(You're welcome for that.)

Linda said...

I see the blue tape now, tho there's no way it could have been read..too small. I'm tryin hard to see more book titles, but it's tough. I saw Narnia, something for dummies, Man vs. Wild, and...what's this? Uh..I think there's a can of Spam on your bookshelf. Is that what they mean by "shelf life"?

RecknHavic said...

YES, that's what they mean by shelf life..lol! That's the Python spam from the theater show.

Narnia..ck
Man v Wild..ck
Ok, I'll admit it, it's Grillin for Dummies, BUT, it was a gift (which says alot for my cookin).

I put all the Playboys up.

RecknHavic said...

Yeah, thanks alot. Let's see, plane fare to Detroit...then car rental...hmmm

Any hotels there?

Ha ha, we got a bigger fy-your-place...that we...uh...seldom use.

Linda said...

Yeah, that sounds more expensive than say, plane fair to Harlingen, rental car, and the Sheraton. Anyway, by the time you decide to actually take the trip, maybe you'll feel more comfortable and will let us get you from the airport and we'll take you up north.

Grilling for Dummies! Hilarious..I'm surprised you fessed to that.

Yeah, I kinda figured that was "the" Spam. Otherwise y'all are just freaky. Displaying your favorite food along side your favorite books is so 80's.

RecknHavic said...

"Yeah, that sounds more expensive than say, plane fair to Harlingen, rental car, and the Sheraton."

Touche'.

"..will let us get you from the airport and we'll take you up north."

Geez, that sounds ominous.
I don't wanna go up north! PLEASE!! I'll talk. Johnny No-Thumbs took the jewels, I swear it! It was him and Little Louie!

Linda said...

Ha! You're a dork. Johnny No-Thumbs took the jewels...
very funny.

Linda said...

I added 2 gagdet pics...

RecknHavic said...

Havin a serious problem w/ the graveyard. Wind's reckin havoc out there.

"This whole redistribution of wealth thing could be more difficult than I originally imagined."

Linda said...

That's funny..I was gonna ask you what your tombstones were made of, cuz it seems like the wind would blow the foam ones pretty good.

Linda said...

Whoa..winds 15-25..better tie those babies down.

RecknHavic said...

Thet're foam. Gonna try to rig some kinda dowels to em. And it IS windy here today.

Lights and cobwebs this evenin and we're done.

Linda said...

I'm expecting my friend here anytime. Maybe I should put her to work and we should decorate the front while havin warm cider and Capt Morgans!

K, that started out as joke, but it's not a half bad idea...

RecknHavic said...

Let the competition begin!

Linda said...

We didn't decorate..you can stop shakin in your shoes.

RecknHavic said...

Oh well. I'm done, cept S has to do spider webs manana.

Looks pretty good, tho didnt wanna go overboard. That's for Christmas time!

Linda said...

Did you get the tombstones secured? Am I allowed to ask how, or is that cheating?

RecknHavic said...

Yes you can ask and yes that's cheatin ;)

Used wooden stakes. Dual purpose really; secure the head stones and encase a vampires.

Linda said...

Keep em in case Stan comes creepin around. :) Note to self...wooden stakes..

RecknHavic said...

Speakin a food..

Just made a pie for desert manana nite. Didn't attempt to make the crust tho; not a good baker here. maybe I should get Baking For Dummies.

Linda said...

No one in their right mind would expect you to make the crust.
'Speakin of food'..ha!

RecknHavic said...

I've tried (got my step moms recipe) w/out much success.

Been finally tranferin my few recipes from various notes a paper to compute this last hour. Makin me hungry.

Hey wow...I can delete my own post! Who knew! Just clicked on that little trash can..I didn't say anything of substance, so I tried it. (be quiet...I know where you're going w/ this).

Have a good nite..

Linda said...

Ok, I really need this election season to be over. I'm startin to feel like I'm under the big top, and there's a faint smell of desperation in the air. It's about (at least) a month too long.

Did you hear McCain said "my friends" 22 times during the debate? Who's advising him and why aren't they telling him he's startin to sound foolish? That got old during the primaries.

Linda said...

What kinda pie did you make? Any good?

RecknHavic said...

I heard a clip today where McCain said, "My fellow prisoners.." as opposed to Americans. Not makin this up.

Cream cheese pie. And as Svet might say, it was delicious.

Linda said...

Oh jeez..even he's gettin tired of it all.

Golly, that sounds really good right now.

RecknHavic said...

Yes it is a good pie Clark.

Only you and Clark Kent use the word golly.

Linda said...

Guess I'm in good company then.

One of my friends picks on me for that,too.

RecknHavic said...

I understand. Wife and kids giggle at me whenever I'm flustered and say "dadgumit!"

I used to say much worse things.

Linda said...

I still say much worse things...that's the beauty of my language...it runs the gamut.

RecknHavic said...

"Gamut"..good word.

Cussin is somethin I've really had to work at not doin. First of all a gentleman shouldn't cuss in front of a women )which was taught to me early). It's around other guys where it's tougher. But God says we shouldn't, not that we shouldn't mosta the time, but that we shouldn't period. If it weren't for His influence I know I'd still cuss like a sailer.

Linda said...

Well of course you have a different take on it than me. (We're now havin a discussion on swearing, but ok.) For me, it has its place. 94% of the time, I'm a mom..so there's no place. But when thet 6% creeps in, and I'm with people who can laugh at it, I still find it fun. Maybe it takes me back.

Linda said...

I think your wild weather photo of the day is of Bryce Canyon.
