You’re running late, Tugig. The channel 7 guys were in the park for the 5AM news!

Back from Yosemite! Generally a good time, although the trip was marred by a multiple fatality accident in front of us on the way home. 3 hour trip took 7 hours. As I told my mom, could have been worse. We could have been in the car that got hit head on.
Kid 2 off to school. Kid 1 is staying up in Yosemite for the week with her class for camp.
Yesterday it was 91 here in the afternoon. Today the expected high is 68, with rain moving in for the next week at least. Yay! More help against the drought.
Hugs and hellos to all. I’ll try to catch up on everything later today.
Riddle me this, Batman - why would one serve a chef’s salad with a side of macaroni salad and a pickle spear? Weird!
But it’s a free lunch, so whatever…
Appraiser called to say she was on her way, should have taken her no more than 10 minutes from where she was. It’s been over a half hour so I called to check on her. I have a feeling she used her GPS and is on her way to Funkytown.
Yep, she was. She just got here.
Back to the salt mine. It’s a slow day, so I’m irking on a project that isn’t due until month end. And surfing the net.
Boss gave me some massive drawings to finish this afternoon. Not a lot of work, but a LOT of thumb twiddling, as I’m doing now, waiting for the dumb things to process. Good times. 
Mom the first call crew was in at 3am. I was 3rd wave, helping through midday. I’m now back in my car a few blocks away ‘supervising’ aka hanging out in case the shit hits the fan.
They got a couple innings in but now it’s raining like hell and the crowds are fleeing.
One of the cats peed the carpet under my side-of-the-couch table. I’m going to blame Little Bitch Tabitha because I’ve seen Fluffy Sam using the litterbox properly. Also she and LBT have been having a dominance battle up here all day long.
You could always sic Endora on them. 
Appraiser did her thing. The I took a nap, took Sah-son to take his test. Dominoes for dinner, and it’s not good. I don’t know if it’s me or them but sometimes Dominoes tastes so good and other times like to day it doesn’t taste good at all.
We might go cat adopting tomorrow - not sure.
Right now all I want to do is sleep, but I have to irk.
Sadly, Endorra’s been dead for years. 
Not sure if I mentioned that the neighbor’s annoying son was back. I think I did. I actually ended up calling the police a week or so ago and asking for a welfare check on his wife and mother, because the shouting and banging was so loud. That night a bunch of cars showed up (family I assume). They parked so that he couldn’t get his vehicle out and drive away. Much shouting ensued and he ended up leaving in an ambulance. It was a nice quiet week. He’s back and the screaming has started again. I guess when it gets ridiculous, I’ll call it in again.
I know there can be an element of choice in whether a person is willing to accept treatment and work with their counselor, medication protocol, etc, but sometimes the state of the mental health care system in this country makes me really sad. This guy is likely to really hurt someone at some point.
Sari. Have fun cat shopping! New fur babies are always fun.
I think. Never mind.
I am aggravated with the world. Trip to the grocery store ,Winn Dick Me, put me in a foul mood.
Thank God tomorrow is Firday as my irk is laughable. New set of standards so now I get to enact them like I have time for that. :head desk: I did make an appointment with new ortho doc re knees. Just have to make two trips to old ortho to get a copy of my records. Once to sign a release and again to pick them up. Bullshit if you ask me. Just print the shit while I wait. But no, gotta wait 24-48 hours. No asking “what can we do to retain you as a patient”? No asking why I need the records. No customer service at all.
Still have not started on the budget. Need some rest. Or a loaded gun.
Happy National Beer Day! Why, Yes, I did celebrate. 
In fact it was my “stripper night” at run club/tap room. 
You know how when you get a dollar or two in change & you just put it in your pocket instead of your wallet, & then that night when you get undressed those few bills just end up on the night stand? Eventually one gets enough $1s that it’s real money; enough for tacos & a beer! I pulled out this wad of $1s to pay & someone asked me where I got all of the $1s; I said from working last night. 
For the bad news, I need to go to the car dealer & buy some of those one-time use plastic “screws” that hold the wheel well in place. I need new ones because my headlight is out. Stoopit design. :mad: In a normal car, you open up the hood & do it in < one minute. :mad:
Any bets on how much more (percent-wise) a bulb is at the dealer than @ Manny, Moe, & Jacks?
Just make sure you wear gloves when you change the bulb, spidey, or you’ll be buying another.
{{{Butters}}}
I could always hop in the truck and pick you up and we could go all Thelma and Louise on the world
I am so tired, glad it’s almost bed time.
Spidey - once I needed a tail light assembly. I think it was $300 from the dealer, $200 from the auto store, and $100 from the auto recycling place - probably would have been $20 from the junkyard if I had known for sure they had one and I didn’t mind wading through acres of mud.
Well, the last home game of the season sucked.:mad:
Spidey, I celebrated National Beer Day at the tailgate today.
{{{{Butters}}}} : offers tequila :
Sari, hope a cat adopts you tomorrow.
You acknowledge the Greatest. Day. of the Year. in one sentence & then go & offer someone cactus juice in the next sentence. 
For shame, doggio, for shame! ::shakes head::
Just watched the news and the salt trucks are ready for this weekend.
Wait. WHAT???
:smack:
