Building an Ark in the basement ala Gibbs
Lately we’ve had so much rain that I’ve been thinking it’d be a good idea to build a mini Ark in the basement. I wonder if I could get some tips from NCIS’s Gibbs?
“Hey Gibbs, I think it’s time to build an Ark.”
Gibbs throws me that baleful look he’s so good at giving. “”That’s 300 cubits by 50 cubits. Your basement won’t hold it. And for heaven’s sake don’t ask me what the hell a cubit is.”
“Okay, so I didn’t mean a full sized Ark I meant a mini-Ark. It only needs to hold Dear Hubby, me, and the dogs.”
Gibbs whacks the back of my head. “Next time say what you mean.”
I rub my head and glare back at him. “So where do I buy gopher wood?”
“You don’t.”
“Will you at least help me with the plans?”
“I have other plans. I’ve a murder to solve. Make your own.”
“But, I’m clueless.”
“So am I, but I’ll solve the crime. Will you build your Ark?”
“Hold on, I’m getting a clue.”

Well, you got Gibbs nailed – I could see him saying that! What a hoot! We’ve had some rain, but not too much – just enough to help the garden and make the lawn grow – of course that means Devoted Spouse has to mow more and that doesn’t make him a happy camper, but too bad! Hope things dry out just a tad for ya! Hugs!
My yard is a total swamp but the plants are loving it.
I’m glad you stopped by.
BTW – I checked out a few of the writers on your blogroll and have checked out a couple books and I’ll let you know what I think. Cheers.
I think you’ll enjoy most of them.
LOL, that’s Gibbs spot on. Except you forgot the bit where he swats the back of your head 🙂
Ignore previous comment. Showed the OH your post and on re-reading, discovered my error. I blame the cat. He was chewing my knee at the time….
There you go, blame the cat–I always blame the dogs. 😉
This is a great blog. Very nice mix of things. I am enjoying it thoroughly.
Thank you! Come back often, I try to post every night.
