I’m sorry.
Howdy from da cave! I’m chillin’ for a bit before startin’ on dindin. OYKW said he’d be here around four-thirty. Dindin won’t take long to cook so we might have an early one tonight cause I’s hongry.
Red always happy to fling a gnawin’ and a cravin’. 
{{{Rosie}}} I’m so sorry! It’s just awful when a friend goes like that.
Lucky yay for mom makin’ it to Bangor. Here’s hopin’ her luggage gets to her soonest.
MOOOOOOM pirate bike is tres chic!
The price of chocolate is going up again!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO breathes in OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
There is an old trick we use at history events that could work for him. We take a regular cooler and “build” a box around it. The pieces are basically attached to the cooler and fitted to each other which makes them a little easier. I could see doing something like that on those bags everywhere but the rear where it attaches to the bike and maybe not totally on the bottom where the rests are. But it really screams for some kind of “one off” to balance out all the paint.
Tell him to check out some of the old Bill Tracy dark rides for ideas. I have one of his pirate faces a buddy made a mold from for attaching over his headlight. Looks cool as can.
Hugs Dear-heart.

I’ve hemmed my 2 pair of workout pants. They’re actually leggings (because they were cheaper than yoga pants) and they were ankle length, so I shortened them by 10". They won’t ride up and my ankles will stay cool! Other than that, not doing much. It’s a dreary, drizzly, lazy day. Supper will be random leftovers.
Happy National Tequila Day!!!
I’m off to the Bistro for a beer, then to watch practice. 
Gummi bears soaked in booze And congrats on beaking 100. I did it once.
Awesome bike!
NOOOOOO!
My condolences and sympathy.

Dindin has been ingested. YUM! OYKW is all excitated cause he has leftovers for N.O.L. tomorrow. I wouldn’t take anything fishy to heat up at the break room at irk. The smell does not bother me but I know it bothers others and I’m nice dammit.
‘Tis all cloudy out. I’m hopin’ we get a little rain or tboomer this evenin’. OYKW is spendin’ the night, so yay! He’s goin’ through a little bit of paperirk right now and says he wants him a whirlpool bath in a little while. He likes the jets in the tub.
We’re done with dinner also - and the fridge is emptier of leftovers. No more beef BBQ, no tortellini, half as much sloppy joes left, radishes and cuke salad also ingested. Ice cream later.
Still dreary outside.
{{{rosie}}}
Time to recline. MWAH!!
MOOOOOOM I agree. OYKW are goin’ to lie upon the bed and ummm… recline.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
Ha d a beer, fed my hockey addiction, went and had another beer. Now I’m making lemon pepper salmon with sauteed green beans, tomatoes and garlic.
{{{rosie}}}, I’m sorry about your friend.
A couple of inches of hair is in my stylist’s dustpan and I feelpurty again. 
Blurf.
(((((rosie))))), I’m sorry to hear about your friend too.
Up, caffeinated, off to work. Laundry and hockey after work.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffienated, and brekkied even. ‘Tis 75 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 91 for the day. OYKW had to go do another monitorin’ (starts at six a.m.!) this mornin’ so I made us an early brekkie of bacon, aigs, grits, and toast. This means I will be starvin’ by ten this mornin’.
Ok that’s all I got. I do have some more caffienatin’ to do. Then, alas and alack, at some point purtification for irk must commence. At least 'tis Firday.
Happy Firday Y’all!
A cold front came thru last night, and my sweetie opened the windows when he came to bed. It’s a glorious 60° with low humidity!! This just doesn’t happen in Merrylande in July, so yay for weather oddities! And it’s only supposed to hit 81° - I may not have to close the house at all!
After supper tonight, **FCD **is riding his bike up to my mom’s. He’s showing his bike at a gathering that’s about 20 miles from her place and rather than getting up and leaving here at 6AM, he’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep before heading up the road in the morning. Whether he comes home Sat night or Sun morning depends on how tiring the day is. Dunno what I’ll do while he’s gone - I was thinking of getting more peaches to put in the freezer. We shall see.
Amazingly, Higgs didn’t fuss at all this morning. When I came out a bit before 6:30, she was sitting quietly and patiently in her crate. Yay for being well-rested!
Happy Firday!
Morning all,
Had a big toad soaker last night, went on thundering and such for over an hour. Hoping my 3.5 hours of irk go quickly.
{{{{Rosie}}}} Sorry to hear about your friend and, yes, it does suck when contemporaries die when they shouldn’t.
The cats are getting along much better today. Bethany went to the vet yesterday, and she’s got a cold, poor thing. She’s on antibiotics for the next week for the bacterial crud she’s apparently got, so she’ll be on the mend soon. Otherwise, she’s healthy and happy and the vet fell in love with her.
Anyway, it’s going to be a hell of a day. Job interview at 9, followed by freelancing. Blurf.
