So my favorite Irish pub had a soft opening today, so I went and had a couple of pints.šŸ™‚ The Guiness rep was buying pints, so I ended up spending more on parking than on beer.:dubious: **Moooommmmm!** , Iā€™ll ride shotgun in the Boxter. **Butters** , I felt the same way. ---

I guess I drank more beer than necessary while watching the game last night. I am taking off tomorrow to use up some comp time I earned last weekend so Yay for three day weekend. I really, \*really \* wanted to take tomorrow off to go see an even more impressive [World Championship](https://www.punkinchunkin.com/), but between being up till twoish this morning (watching the game, the trophy presentations & some of the post game stuff), Sat being a long day (18-20 hrs & 200+ miles in the car), & Sun only being 150ish miles I thought a nice, quiet day a irk might be better. ā˜¹ **SHOTGUN!!!** > [@dogbutler](#): > > **Moooommmmm!** , Iā€™ll ride shotgun in the Boxter.

TGIF! I came in to find a pile of stuff on my desk, so Iā€™ve got work this morning, which is good. \*\*FCD \*\*plans to spend the day detailing his new toy, making me even gladder that Iā€™m in the office. šŸ˜ƒ Iā€™m hoping this weekend we can get the mulcher/vac serviced so I can start on the leaves. Theyā€™re starting to come down at a serious rate and if they get too deep, theyā€™re a major pain to manage. Weather promises to be nice - I just need to drag my sweetie away from the car and into the shed to deal with the mulcher. No small task thereā€¦ Time to dig into my \*In \*basket. Happy Firday! ---

Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up and caffeinatinā€™. _YAWN_ ā€˜Tis 64 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 84 and clear for the day. Temps are supposed to drop over the next few days. We shall see. Iā€™m still dealinā€™ with the crud so not much planned for the day. Grilled chikin sallit is on the menu for this eveninā€™. Easy enough to prepare and tasty. Other than that to day will include serious sloth. OK, I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, who knows. I may go back to bed. Or not. Itā€™s a willy-nilly day! Happy Firday Yā€™all! ---

**Nuts** in response to your quail posts, did you know they are quite tasty? Quail are plentiful here to the point there is an entire season to hunt quail. Fried quail, rice ā€˜n gravy and bizkits make for some fine eatinā€™! I havenā€™t had a good olā€™ quail supper in a long time. Now Iā€™m hungry for fried quail. What? They are tasty little things! ---

Quail is indeed good eating. There is a place near Greensboro Jawja that we buy quail by the case sometimes. Blurf. I am having a slothful day today. I need to iron some shirts so that may or may not happen. TGIF ---

No small task thereā€¦ Silly **Mooommm** ; you do realize heā€™s detailing it today so as to be able to drive it this weekend. Were quickly running out of topless season this year & the mulcher/vac isnā€™t a new toy. I donā€™t normally drink a lot but just finished what is always my biggest drinking week of the year. Just a couple every night of the World Series adds up. Between going to bed at a normal hour & detoxing the liver last night I feel good today. Of course that wont last; I need to _meet_ someone at 4:30 aay em tomorrow. :eek: ---

Happy Firday! Itā€™s N.O.S. and chilly outside. Poor kitty is having tummy troubles and while he is using the litter box, he has bad aim and there was a mess all around the little box. What a delightful mess to wake up to! Iā€™m going to cut down a box to make a tray under the litter box. Other than that SSDD. ---

Iā€™m on vacation next week. Co-worker was feeling super sick, so I told her Iā€™d stay to close today, and she could leave early, which was very nice of me. I even went to lunch an hour early so she could get out of here as soon as possible without having to stay to cover while I was gone. And now Iā€™m sitting here with two and a half hours to go and nothing to do. I regret everything. ---
