And a good early evening to all. Finally did make it to the gym today, pushed weights and got the bike up to 9.81 miles in 45 minutes (I’ve been taking a paperback with me to read while pedaling, this is one of those bikes where you sit back and pedal (sort of like this: [https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy\_US/images/products/6405/6405080\_sd.jpg](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6405/6405080_sd.jpg)) so one can read with one hand while the legs do all the work). Still haven’t started laundry, but tomorrow is supposed to be rainy so I’ll start early and have the whole day to do it. Swimmin’ is on the schedule for tomorrow along with shoppin’-n-sammich as usual, so need to work things around. I finished reviewing and editing my will, now i need to find a lawyer to make it sound nice and legal. I did a will back in 2015, but on my own and got a couple of guys from work to witness it, so probably better to have the lawyers make sure I didn’t forget anything. No rush, since I plan to live forever (or die trying). Still 73F out but rain is due Monday, Wednesday and Friday and by Saturday the high temperature is supposed to be 40F. So guess I need to enjoy this weather while I can… **shady** , sounds like the cat still has a spirit; hope she’s one of the 30% **FCM** , never been a boat person, but it sure sounds like a lot of work; hope yo get to enjoy all the time and money you’re putting into it. OK, need to forage for some additional sustenance, albeit that steak at dinner was pretty filling (as was the loaf of brown bread). The reminds me, I need to defrost some bread for sammiches this week. Take care all and catch you on the next MMP. ---

I just got banana bread out of the oven. Mmmm. I’ve been making stuff to use all those black walnuts I cracked. So far there’s the bread, two kinds of cakes, and the candy. ---

Howdy Y’all! We deheathenated, got Litanied (is too a word, I just made it up!), had a nice First Sunday brunch, and achieved nappage. After eatin’ at the church house neither of us has wanted anything else to eat today, not even a nosh. So unlike us! Oh and the biiiiiiiiiiiig trash can has been hauled all the way down to the road for pickup tomorrow. All is well in swampland. **shoe** I call it majik intartoobz pizza, but you do you. It’s your pizza so it’s what you say it is. **taters** that sounds like quite a clean out. The church ladies are havin’ a yahd sale in April, the Sattidy after Easter to be exact, and as soon as the OK is given, I shall shrive da cave of a bunch of my hoarded treasures for a charitable cause. **doggio** foodstuff, Gordie stuff, and likker. Sounds about right to me! **sari** the two dawgs in the video look like they are sayin’ “yo mama!” to each other. Sorry your mom didn’t get sprung today. Good on the niece for bringin’ her some edible food. Happy Doperversary! **Oopsie** I know what you mean. When da cave is clean, all the laundry is done and put away, and everything is all neat and tidy, I just want to sit in one spot and not move so as not to mess stuff up. Then, I get hungry and/or need to go to the bathroom, so I return to my slovenly ways. Fortunately we are both slovenly so that is not a problem. Yay on the new smaller clothes buyin’! **Nameless** congrats to GG on his first Polar Plunge! ---

At the end of the week, and the night before the next MMP… Did everyone get whirled peas? ---

I had peas on Friday, but they were stationery. 😕 ---

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > **Unknown** , would love to see the sprinkler in action sometime…when it’s warmer. And hope GG dries out soon. I’m not going to ever actually sprinkle one of the neighbor’s cats but I do seriously annoy them with it. When I hit the go button on my app a very loud relay trips in the gizmo and then it makes a whirring noise while turning the water on which gurgles through the hose until the sprinkler finally comes on. One of them leaves the area as soon as he hears the relay click and the other one looks annoyed until the water starts gurgling at which time he leaves. The gormless one dried out well. The poor guy didn’t get the fuss, he was having fun fer crying out loud! Hubs was too distressed to take pics of wet GG, but trust me, the cat is mostly hair. Even his tail is slender. I’ll bet he weighs 30 lbs wet, but of course I didn’t get to find out because of the above mentioned distressed husband. It took three bath sheets to get him damp dry and he fussed the whole time. I’m _FINE_, I’ve _GOT IT_, put me down and let me deal with it _MYSELF_!!! > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > I stayed fairly neutral, but damn if he didn’t elicit a twinge of real sympathy. He would probably be happier if he finds another job where he’s valued. Not having back-up has gotta suck. > [@Misnomer](#): > > Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that shopping is any kind of hardship for me! Like **FCM,** my suggestion of thrift stores wasn’t out of worry about your financial situation. I really don’t like to pay full price for something I’m going to only use for a short time so I try to be cheap. We had refried beans for dinner. I’m lazy so I whirled them with the immersion blender. Seeing as how they are legumes, they should count. ---
