Kitchen and bathroom are clean. Making Chipolte BBQ chicken with tequila lime rice and a salad with smoked paprika vinaigrette. Looks like **Moooommmmmm** ’s sister is getting rained on at the Preakness.:eek: ---

Home from the shower, exhausted!! \*\*FCD \*\*had a guy here looking at the bike. Fingers crossed… My niece made out big time! She and her fiance need to rent a big UHaul to get all their stuff out of there! 😃 It was a nice shower. No stupid games, lots of yummy food - too much food. They’re a cute couple - I like my future nephew-in-law. My kiln is down to about 350° or so - I propped the lid slightly open, so it may be cooler than that now. It should be plenty cool tomorrow. That’s all I’ve got. Tahred… ---

\*\*doggio \*\*- did you see the pics of my sis with the guv’ner of Merrylande?? She probably didn’t actually get rained upon - I think she had tickets for some fancy-schmancy inside room. She’s one classy freak. 😃 ---

Maryland Governor’s pretty cool. This being his first political post he’s still interesting. I got along great with his PR guy during the election, and was actually at the headquarters covering the event the night he was elected. Wild night that. Next time I see either one I’m going to ask about changing the 24 hour HOV lanes on Rt 50 to rush hour only. If I can get \*that \*done than my assistance to the greater good will be complete and I can die fulfilled. ---

Howdy Y’all! We’re back from dindin at the good Eyetalian place. It was a very pleasant evenin’. We had stuffed 'shrooms for an appetizer, then we had the house salad and a medium size special pizza. We made happy plates and left full. We sat and talked and in general acted like adults. 😃 I’ve met several of Jawja’s Goobernors over the years. Never anything special to me. All I ever ask of a Goobernor is to not mess up things too much. ---

A friend asked on facebook, “Are children three and younger free at Disneyland?” I replied… “Yes, but they can’t make you take them home with you. Also, while they say the children are “free”, they charge an arm and a leg for de-worming and rabies shots.” I like to be helpful. 😃 ---

What does it mean, ““Hey y’all, watch this!” in other words.”? Meanwhile, back at the ranch, what is the state over New Mexico where the major cause of death is Old Age, Arizona? Perhaps I shall move there. ---

Tennessee’s is accidental discharge of a firearm. I guess that means that we have a bunch of inept gun owners.
