In the late afternoon, I played around with my GELI PLATES. For now, let's call it a learning experience.
Put gas in pick up. $30 put a half a tank of gas. Murphy talked about getting the tires rotated. Soon, we need to replace the tires. Like most things in our life. Figuring out the money part of it. Money issues sometimes can be crippling. But we will get through it. Sometimes, I need to pull some money out of my IRA (Individual Retirement Account) to cover my 2025 cost. Like house insurance, car insurance, and property tax. We're choosy about what we pull out of the IRA with fires in California. Insurance is going to increase. (Meduza - 1904 - Location Unknown)
Murphy and I made a dump run. When I was younger, going to the dump was an adventure. I took it forward. I recall riding in a green 1957 GMC pickup with my dad. Going to the dump was a thrill. These days, not as much. (Red Umbrella - 1917 - Location Unknown)
We went to the senior center and had lunch. They serve pork chops. (Strange Garden- 1902/1903 - Place Unknown)
I will be sharing the SECESSION art movement today, which I have never heard of. The artist I'm featuring today is JOZEF MEHOFFER. I haven't recognized his name or work.
Coffee is on.
I remember going to the town dump often with my brother. We would climb all over and scavenge stuff to take home and play with, then bring it back a week later. Back when the dump was open and free.
ReplyDeleteDump runs were an adventure to us too. About 25 years ago, I remember there was a big dump fire at Coffin Butte landfill outside Corvallis. I was at my friends place in Adair, and we took lawn chairs and went and watched, with others, from across the road. That now sounds quite pathetic but hey...
ReplyDeleteRed Umbrella was painted in Józef Mehoffer 1917. Apparently the original work is at National Museum in Krakow.
ReplyDelete...life isn't easy these days.
ReplyDeleteThat art movement is unfamiliar but I like his work.
ReplyDeleteI’m not familiar with dump runs. It’s not something people do around here. The municipal sanitation department will pick up most things, including large, bulky items like furniture. You may need to call for a special pickup for furniture, etc., but they will come if called.
ReplyDeleteI went to a dump a couple of times with an uncle and cousins. Otherwise I don't know if there are dumps that people can use. I like the art.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made a dump run since I lived in West Virginia. It's not something that you can do around here. It was so different back there years ago.
ReplyDeleteGood to learn about gelli plates
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing about going to the dump. It definitely was thought of as an adventure. We never did this, though, so I only got to hear about it.
