Howdy Y’all! In from quality time at the cee-mint pond. Turned out to be a nice and not as humid afternoon. I’m all showered, others are in process, and general chillage ensues until time to grill the chikin for dindin. OYKW shall be grillmaster and all the other stuff (except for cheesey bread) is done.
Well, OK then, I’ll just talk to myself! 
An early dindin of grilled chikin ‘n shrimp sallit, cheesey bread and watermelon has been ingested. Everyone has gone and the dishwasher is washin’ away. ‘Twas a nice afternoon. As I always say, I love company comin’ and goin’.
The brisket was amazing!!! Plus there’s enough for 4 more meals (to be frozen) as well as another meal for tomorrow or Moanday. YUM!!!
Just got back from Portlandia. Drove by Bumba-land and waved.
We went up to look at a rescue dog for my son. The dog we went to visit (a whopping 12 pounds) kept attacking my 100lb dog, who looked embarrassed for the little guy and kept staring at us like, “Why are you doing this to me?” Little dog did not work out. We did come home with a different little dog. I am not so sure about this, but I don’t know why. He’s a snuggle-pup and he seems to like my son. He’s a Chi-huu-huu (I will post pics soon, I promise). I’m not usually luke warm on animals. I’ll have to keep thinking about this. It took all day.
Sitting here trying to cool off. Happy Sattidy all.
Productive day. The OW got her hair done and dyed, we did the grass (yard ---- in case you were wondering) and did the second bleaching on my desk, and made pizza. Now its time for horror movies and shows and then bed.
Worked came home. Took a nap. Making spicy teriyaki chicken for dinner. Drinking a Narragansett Autocrat.
You love each pet diffrently, but it’s still love.
Yay for running, and for Bubba coming home!
Why the doubts, Sunny?
I find that dog funny rather than ugly.
I met some nice cute doggies today. A pug, a shih tzu, a beagle, and a pitbull.
I played in two concerts today.
105 calls today, over 10.5 irk hours. The incoming flow of calls was fairly light, really, with time for social interaction with nearby co-irkers.
I am very tired. Nomming Jollibee fried chicken and pineapple juice.
Yay for the race and Bubba’s prognosis sticky!
That mastiff looks like a cuddler. 
baker, I figure that whoever your next dog is, you’ll give each other a lot of love and affection.
Even with baby block, I got a little pink at Pride this morning. The party this evening was a lot of fun. I got to meet a few folks from other parts of the guest of honor’s life. Tomorrow will be hanging out at home mostly. I’ll fix up some mojo pork in the crock for supper along with some black beans, guac and rice.
Sis called last evening. Nelson should be in Tennessee sometime mid July. Yay! Time to start shopping for puppy chow and treats.
I tried - I really tried to get extra snoozage this morning, but to no avail. So Higgs has been thru her morning routine, the sticky parts of the smoker are soaking in hot, soapy water, and the house is open because it’s gloriously cool this morning. A little later, I’ll break out the mower and attack the ditch, then get cleaned up for my friend’s visit.
I really should sort the mess on this desk, too. it’s pretty disorganized and probably much of it can be tossed. But not the pizza coupon - NEVER the pizza coupon!
Happy Sunday!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 74 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 87 and rain/tstorms/apocalypse this afternoon. We shall see. Didn’t happen yestiddy so probably won’t happen today. The big plan is to deheathenate and do sump’n for N.O.L. I’d be fine with sammiches at da cave personally. Other than that I foresee an afternoon/evenin’ of chillage.
MOOOOOOM glad the brisket turned out well. Nuttin’ like a good smoked brisket.
Sunny yay for new chee-hoo-ah-hoo-ah! We anxiously await pics. If Beamer has already bonded with him, then, well, he’s yours.
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy is demandin’ sustenance. Then, purtification for deheathenization must be accomplished.
Happy Sunday Y’all!
I passed out watching MST3KTR last night, peeled myself off the couch to go to bed and sleep some more, woke up at 3 a.m. when BFDC decided to wander around upstairs yelling at nothing, and got up for real when my alarm went off at 6. I think I’ve finally caught up on my sleep.
**swampy **- do you use a rub on brisket? I went with salt and pepper since this was my first attempt, but I will be doing another some day, and I’m not averse to trying something else.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off today. I need to change the litter in Alex Catt’s box. Then vacuum.
Drinking coffee. Thinking about music arrangements.
Happy Sunday!
It’s a beautiful, N.O.S., cool morning. Like FCM, I have my windows open.
I’m eating some breakfast (Michelina’s Lean Gourmet Creamy Rigatoni with Broccoli and Chicken), and when I’m done it’s back to cleaning out the fridge - a job that has been long overdue.
I like to do it on Sunday since Moonday is trash day and the last few weeks I got busy doing other stuff.
I need to go back to the grocery store today to pick up something they forgot to put in the bag. I don’t know if it is worth it though.
Congrats on the race Sticky and I’m glad Bubba is coming home.
You’re lucky Red that your puppy is on the way soon.
Mine hasn’t even been born yet. There’s a litter due this week but no guarantee I’ll get one, depends on the size of the litter. I’m number five on the list. There’s another litter due in a few weeks. It may be just as well if I have to wait, both parents of this litter are the same color as Mackie was and I really don’t want a look-a-like.
Time to get back it work on the fridge.
Alas, sari, I closed the windows - it’s starting to warm up and someone in this house doesn’t like it warm… 
BUT - we’ve mowed - him on John D, me pushing the Toro, he took the trash and recycling, I cleaned the smoker, loaded the dishwasher, and vacuumed. I’m showered and dressed, and my friend (surprise, surprise) is late. Had I gone with my gut, we could have had breakfast out. Dammit.
I’s hongree, but she may want lunch when she gets here, so we’ll wait and see. Meanwhile, whew - lots of work this morning!!
sunny, congrats on Beamer’s new chi buddy.
The mojo poke is in the crock. In a few minutes, I shall purtify and head to Tar-jay to pick up prescriptions and a new alarm clock. The alarm switch on my twenty year old one is becoming tempramental. Iffen I could read my phone without putting on my glasses in the middle of the night, I would forgo the whole bedside clock thing altogether. Off to the shower.
It’s 12:10. She’s still not here. Had I left her house when she was supposed to get here, I’d be here by now. She messaged me from about 90 minutes away more than 2 hours ago. I don’t know whether to be worried or pissed. But I am hungry.
And Higgs went on walkabout. **FCD **forgot to close the side gate when he parked the truck. He let Higgs out, and next thing we knew, she was at the garage door, barking to be let in. At least she knows her way back home. Idiot dog…
