> [@peedin](#): > > We saw The Rolling Stones in Edinburgh last night. Had no idea how to get home so we followed the other stoners and got back. After stopping at a pub… Very cool! Laundry duty here as well. Tomorrow I fly to CA. Tuesday I have house appts, and fly back. Weds court. ☹ Thursday school’s out for summer. ---

My washer won’t spin the last load. This is not good… I’m going to try unplugging it to reset the computer then try again. I don’t want to have to buy a new machine right now. Dammit. ---

**doggio** , forlorn kitchen utensils? Heathenization is complete, an awesome salad at Amerigos, good company. The rain stopped halfway to Nashville and I got home about half an hour before the clouds opened up. Nelson has the zoomies and is chasing his toys, mostly the mini tennis balls, all over the place. Sunday chores are done and I shall nuke supper shortly. ---

Getting a colonoscopy tomorrow at 6am! :eek: So I’m not eating anything else today. I did have breakfast though, so there’s that. **Wifey** wanted to go out to dinner tonight but I didn’t think I was supposed to so I finally read through the 'leventy-dozen pages of possible side effects and ‘don’t-do’s’ to find the single sentence that told me not to eat anything within 4 hours of starting drinking the noxious liquid. (at 6pm) Now I’m trying to think not-hungry thoughts. I know from experience that I won’t be hungry after I start drinking it, so there’s that. :dubious: Not gonna be watching the Food network tonight. ---

Howdy Y’all! We deheathenated. I ushed. We grabbed burgers and went to [Mark’s Melon Patch](http://marksmelonpatch.com/) and got a yellow seedless watermelon cause _somebody_ got a gnawin’ and a cravin’. Melon is chllin’ in da fridge now and will be cut tomorrow. _Somebody_ has shown amazin’ restraint, bless _somebody’s_ heart. 😃 Nappage has also been achieved. We had a tstorm a little while ago. Also, I drug my and my neighbor’s biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig trash can all the way down to the road for pickup tomorrow. I say that’s enough for one day. ---

Nice slothfull day. I did vacuum, and made [Trisha Yearwood slow cooker poke loin](https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/trisha-yearwood/slow-cooker-pork-loin-3676799) with orzo for dinner.

I decided on a trail run so the tree canopy would keep me a bit drier. Unfortunately, the _biiiiggg_ puddles & high, wet grass means the wet feet more than made up for it…I wrang my socks out. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > My washer won’t spin the last load. This is not good… I’m going to try unplugging it to reset the computer then try again. I don’t want to have to buy a new machine right now. Dammit. If it’s a top loader, open the top, turn it on, put something (a nail, a coin) in to depress the plunger so it thinks the top is down. Manually spin the agitator a bit; it _may_ catch & start on it’s own. Close the lid & let it spin out. This works if the belt is getting a bit loose. > [@dogbutler](#): > > All the odd spoons, single chopsticks, lettuce knives, spreaders, and what looks like a combination olive pitter/larvae squeezer.
