We’ve just had another round of storms move through. Hopefully it’ll be a bit nicer out tonight. I think we’re going to go out for a walk in a bit. Hugs all. GT ---

So that microwave truck that I waited 14 weeks to get fixed the last time I had trouble? Yeah, the dish fell off the truck. I have no idea where. Fuck. It looks like we have a spare, but with the storm everyone is too tired to fix things. Today is day 7 of work this week. When I clock out it will close to 80 hours. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > WOOHOO!!! I sold some stuff!!! 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 🆒 > > On the way to check the boat, we stopped at the little shop that’s selling my pottery - they just opened yesterday and they’ve sold several pieces already! I looked at the other pottery they were selling and I now know what my niche is - more artsy and whimsical rather than “nice dishware” - so face mugs and monsters and fun stuff. I am inspired!! But I can’t get back to my studio till the stairwell is painted, since the platform is blocking the stairs. I could go outside and enter the basement that way, but it’s too hot… _\_ > > But I’m selling stuff. YAY!!! And I think I may gather up my so-so stuff and make a bargain box like $3 per piece or something - gonna email the owners and see what they think. I love the Canes dog jar and the Fairychat Monster.😃 It stormed at “just friend”:)'s house, but not my apartment. It’s down to 88 now. ---

Well, I hate to tell a TV news guy to listen to the radio news, but on the traffic report I bet you’ll hear, " On route \_\_\_ we have a large satellite dish in the center lane." :rolleyes: ---

After a let’s just say _trying_ weekend in Texas with **mr ems** family including several ungrateful manipulative kids we made it home and grilled chickie boobs and made salads. Now relaxing watching DVR things to catch up. Hope you all had a good weekend see ya next week! ---

When I clock out it will close to 80 hours. I suggest suggesting that maybe the dish just flew off during the storm… ---

It’s a small microwave dish 24" x 18" in size. Not an insurance issue for sure. And I saw it on the truck when I left the station at 1p, it was missing at 2p when I stopped to p. I think it came off on the beltway around Connecticut Ave. ---

Still up, not very sleepy yet. Off to ponder the internet or something… See everyone in the next MMP. Hugs. GT ---

[QUOTE=2gigch1] It’s a small microwave dish 24" x 18" in size. Not an insurance issue for sure. [/QUOTE] At least not until someone calls the station saying “this thing with your name on it smashed though my windshield” :eek: Let’s just hope you parked in a bad neighborhood and someone stole it, thinking they could use it to get free HBO.
