> In case any of you are considering a new TV, avoid VIZIO like the plague. We’ve got one in the bedroom, and it’s a piece of crap! As soon as I have a few $$ to waste, I’m replacing it with a decent unit. Besides taking forever to turn on or to program itself, it doesn’t seem to like at least 3 of the channels pumped out by our cable company - naturally 3 that I’d like to watch while trying to fall asleep. So there ya go - beware of Vizio!

[shrug] My Vizio and I have been getting along fine for four or five years now. YMMV, apparently. 🙂

Not much planned today, just deheathenating and some defilthification of the mini-cavern.

The kitty was purry and cuddly as soon as he got out of his carrier (he made a lot of noise during the trip home in the car though.)

Howdy Y’all! Today I have accomplished deheathenization, a \<snerk\> Quickie! \<snerk\> N.O.L., and nappage. Oh and I took a beastloaf outta da freezer. In a little while I shall bake it as it will become the main attraction of tomorrow night’s dindin.

I’m melting…

Brunch in the park went well. Some of the local homeless joined us and even volunteered to take some of our leftovers. Win-win!

**Big Kitty** , the temperature drop is one of the reasons that I like to head to the hills in the summer. Your 62○ is about 32○ cooler than the temp here at the bottom of the plateau.

I’m glad you had fun, **rosie**. 🙂

As for the Vizio TVs , we used to handle the warranties on them, and, IIRC, there didn’t seem to be proportionately more claims than other brands that we handled.

Time to snap the beans for tonight’s supper.

It’s 92 now at Stately Agony Aunt Manor. The windows were down in Polly Subaru so when I came off the Parkway I got hit in the face with the Mountain Mugginess waiting in the valley. I may have uttered an UnChristian Word when that happened.

The story I’ve been working on the last few weeks hit a major brick wall in the third act, so I went back to the end of the second chapter and started rewriting it. Meanwhile I’ve also uploaded the first chapter to an Unnamed Site and in the last hour somebody liked it. 🙂

I’m going to have a cup of coffee and then the worm bin must be cleaned out. I was going to see Mad Max tonight, but I’ll see how I feel about that later.

I had chicken strips and egg noodles for supper. After eating in restaurants for the past little while, a home-cooked supper was nice.

I et a hyuuuuuuuuuge N.O.L. so no dindin was consumed. OYKW didn’t eat anything for dindin either. Who knew a \<snerk\> Quickie! \<snerk\> could fill one up like that! 😃

I shall now go join OYKW upon the bed to watch teevee etc until sleepy time.

Nitey Nite Y’all!
