I will be a racing bachelor today. VWife will have her ass planted in front of the boob toob watching first the Indy 500, then the Coca Cola 600. There’s also a Grand Prix in some furrin land that had live coverage starting at 0700, but she’s not watching that.
What will I do with my day’s freedom? Nothing exciting. Plant the Garden of Weedin, fire up the smoker and do lotsa stuff, and mebbe mow the yahd. Yeah, I know how to live on the edge.
Argh. I’m sore this morning from digging holes to plant trees and swinging a mattock to remove a couple that had taken root where they weren’t wanted. I still have a buddleia and two caryopteris to plant, but those should be easy-peasy compared to the trees.
Today’s project will be cleaning up the patio, I think.
Up and caffeinated. It’s cleaning day.
The Coca-Cola 600 makes me very glad I don’t live in NASCAR country anymore.
It is 55 American degrees out this morning, which, if the calendar is not lying to me, is May 26. My tomato plants are glaring at me balefully through the window.
Today sounds like a good day to stay in and clean the Stately Manor. I may get some crocheting done.
Went to a space-themed wind orchestra concert last night. It was out of this world!
Today I’ll probably hole up inside and try to write some music for my bass clarient.

Yeah, it does tangle up the traffic. It’s bad enough on the expected routes like the freeway exits going to the Speedway, but what’s worse is when people think to themselves: The traffic on Bruton Smith will be brutal. Hmmm, this road looks like it goes from 77 to that area…
Next thing I know, it’s bumper to bumper traffic going past my house and I have to decide if I really need dinner, or if a trip to the grocery store can wait until midnight.

Happy Sunday!
It’s a beautiful 63 degrees, sunny and light breeze.
The kitties have been fed, the bonsai have been watered. Later Sah-son and I will hit the corner store for a few things.
I feel ick, I felt even worse ick when I had to bend over to clean up after one of the kitties. All I can say is my belly hurts and all I want to do is sleep.
I saw the damn mouse again last night.
HFH got back last night.
I need to irk but I sure don’t feel like it.
I’m sure Mrs. Mouse and the kiddies are happy.
Sorry you are feeling ill.
I scared there are kiddies and I know I should start pulling out the furniture to look behind it.
ty I have no idea what is wrong.
We are having a Linger Longer after church today. This means a huge potluck yay
I saw what you did there!
I am :o to admit I was inspired by one of our mumpers…Swampy :eek:
Brisket, wild King salmon, turkey andouille snausages & other things are smoking away as I type this.
I decided to delay the Smokefest until tomorrow so’s I could concentrate on the Garden of Weedin. My menu will be a turkey boob, corned beef brisket, a pork butt <snerk>, and a whole lotta sausage.
I scored 3 horseradish plants at a local greenhouse. w00t! I haven’t grown any horsey since living in Indiannoplace, and roots I bought last year never sprouted. If these shrivel on me, then it’s time to give up on it altogether.
Time to go play in the dirt…
You only need to go outside here for that stuff. The damned cicadas sound like the flying saucer sound effects from one of those awful 1950s UFO movies with the bug-eyed monsters.
They* are* the bug-eyed monsters.
Nap time.
Takin’ a break from cave spiffin’. After deheathenization and N.O.L. I ran some errands whilst in town. So I decided that this would be an afternoon of nonsloth, thus cave defilthyfication. Go Me!
ETA: I inspire the smokin’ of meat. Sniff Makes me so proud! Sniff
Quiet up in heah today! Cave is all spiffed. Bear is all tahrd.
We shall either swipe the General’s dindin or dine at that paragon of gourmet delight known as Three Squares Diner. TBD at this point.
Nice nap. Now I am munching on healthy crunchy things with unhealthy yummy dip
eta - Smokey is enjoying the unhealthy yummy dip, too.
Did-din is served; hurry up ifn you want some!
There’s about 4lb of brisket & only 3 of us eating & Imma only gonna have a lil bit (but that’s because I et snausage & salmon already & my tummy is quite sassified). I pulled a snausage off the smoker & put it on a plate on the smoker shelf to cut a piece off for tastin’. It was sooo bad that I decided to et the whole thing…right there…from the smoker shelf…so no one else had to ‘suffer’ eating it. :dubious:
Brisket is quite nummy but it’s spicy & will give you a kick in the kishka! Where I come from this is a good thing.
