Not a good night for Washington sports fans, but at least the Nationals finally beat the Orioles. So there’s that. Not sure if I have enough to keep me busy today but I’ll let everyone know so I’ve got work Moanday morning when I come in. It was overcast on the drive in, and rain is on the way. There may be enough of a break tomorrow morning that I can mow the ditch - we shall see. Mostly, methinks the weekend will be spent on indoor chores. Happy Thursday! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 64 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 91 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. The big excitatement of the day is the installation of my new terlet at some point this mornin’. I also plan to accomplish mowage of da cave yahd but won’t get started on that until after terlet is installed. I figure I best be near the phone because I’m supposed to get a call when terlet and the installers are on the way. Maybe I’ll be amongst the first and they’ll show up around nine. **Bumba** y’all have a safe trip. **Butters** I saw the ’ as well. Maybe your puter has an ’ quota so it inserts random 's to meet the quota. OK, I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. I should also purtify so as to be presentable for the terlet installers. Happy Thursday Y’all! ---

I, too, went to bed with Ben last night. Or rather half a Ben. The tree pollen is kickin’ up here. Looks like a turn the A/C on kind of day. Samantha is all soft and silky. She had a good sulk all day yesterday and now she’s being sweet again. ---

**Butters,** from your question last night, yes, I do this soccer stuff for free, it’s parts of the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), which is run (at the local level) by volunteers. I don’t want anything to do with the “select” teams, don’t need the hassle or pressure they put on the kids and the ‘little league’ mentality of some of the parents. AYSO is a lot calmer. Garbage is outside, including the Direct TV antenna that used to be on my roof. They replaced it with a ground-anchored unit and left the dish with me and it was in my garage for a couple months. Finally got around to calling them about it and they said just toss it out…guess without the wiring it wasn’t worth it for them to recycle, but still a bit strange to me. **Bumba,** safe travels. ---

My mom dropped a Corelle plate back when it was new stuff. It shattered into a gazillion pieces that lay of the floor and vibrated for the longest time! Really weird. And it was a room temp. One pile of crap done. Starting on a short stack of crap. 😃 Is my attitude showing? ---
