Often I brush my teeth, then drink orange juice. Has to do with shaking hands from hypoglycemia at that time…
Don’t eat a bag of Oreos on the way to a dental appointment.
Never give a sucker an even break. Do not suffer fools. Clean up after yourself.
Other than that, it has rained all weekend and is now hot and hoomid. My least favorite weather. My friend Judy has been collecting dolls for years (nice dolls, Madame Alexander, although she has 4 M.A. CLOWN dolls shudder), now has over 300, and daughters and grand-daughters are not interested. Yesterday was her first doll show as a vendor. I helped and we had a blast. Looking forward to the next one in Tocktober.
The most useful advice of all times: Send **FCM **chocolate love offerings!
My sweetie has finished sanding all the motorcycle parts that will be painted. He’s taking a break and we’re going to get some lunch. While out, we can run my errands, and when we get back, I should be able to take the laundry down. So that’s the plan.
Never play cards with a man called “Doc”
Never eat at a place called “Mom’s”
Never lay down with someone with more troubles than you.

ruble, what you said about insurance cards made me think of being pulled over a few years ago for a taillight that was out. I was on my way home from the range on a Sunday afternoon when a county officer pulled me over. I handed her my license, insurance card and carry permit, explaining that my registration was in the glove box along with an unloaded .22 (ammo behind the seat. Safety first, you know! 
). She asked me to step out of the truck for a pat down and for permission to get into the glove box for the registration. Granted. She wrote me a fix ticket and sent me on my merry way.

Never commit anything armed for under $10,000.
Which leads to a story about OAOASO’s oldest son.
He, his cousin and two friends got the bright idea to rob a pizza delivery man. So they called from a cell phone and have the pizza delivered to a different address. Then they hike their butts on over there to wait out front for the pizza guy. Unknown to them - or so they all say - one of the guys had a gun. The cousin collects the money then they all run back home, with money and pizzas. The cousin tells them they got $25 so they get $6.25 each. The cousin lied, he really got $125. Honor among thieves and all that happy horse hockey.
Meanwhile, the pizza guy has called the police, who brought out the dogs and tracked the pizza smell back to OAOASO’s house where the culprits were eating the evidence. Each of the dummies got 2+ years in jail for $31.25.
When OAOASO was telling me about it I wasn’t sure if he was more embarrassed about his son committing a crime or his son committing a stupid crime.
So Happy Moonday!
Not that it really is - I am ready to quit.
My computer went out last night, would not connect to the internet. I called the cable company this morning and he went through some steps and said it has to be my computer. I went through series of steps and determined that I need a new network adapter.
Then this afternoon my phone wouldn’t connect to Wi-Fi, so I called the cable company back. Sah-son is having no problem with his computer, but I figured if both my phone and my computer won’t connect it could very well be on their end.
The guy was just getting started and both the phone and the computer connected.
Too weird but it’s working now.
Then as I was taking clothes out of the washer I heard a drip. I looked around and didn’t see anything. Drip, drip, drip! It wasn’t much but water was dripping from where the hose connects to the washer. Sah-son tightened that up for me and so far it’s okay.
I swear everything I touch turns to shit right now.

If a woman has a sweater on it comes down to three reasons – one is to keep warm and the other two are usually obvious.

I’m pulling a Swampy today; posting from the web.
Lunch has been ingested, errands have been run, laundry is in and stowed, poke is pulled and simmering in BBQ sauce. Higgs is happy because she got some of the scraps while I was pulling poke. I’m less than happy because I goofed and got a bone-in butt that was very fatty, so there was a LOT of waste. We’ll get 2 or 3 meals out of it, but they end up being pretty pricey meals. I’ll know next time.
I thought for sure rain was imminent while I was taking the clothes down, but the sun’s out and there’s nothing on weather radar at the moment. Oh well, it’s done. I think I’m free till supper, except for occasionally mixing up the poke. And I think I need a beverage - I’s thurstee!!!
Sari - hang in there! It all got fixed! Opposite of shit. Silver lining on my ankle silliness. I get to sit out several weeks from work on short term disability. So there’s that to look forward to, right?
I think I mentioned on Friday that my review was unusual. It was unusual because my manager told me that she’s quitting and told me that I needed to “Get out” (I always image Eddie Murphy’s haunted house routine when I hear that phrase). Anyway, the company is (and has been) disfunctional as all get out. She can’t takes it no more and she’s out. She advises sane folks do the same.
I imagine she’s right, but am more or less stuck for the next 10 weeks or so. Although who knows, maybe job interviews while on a knee scooter will go better than I imagine they might.
I didn’t sleep much last night. While I’m awake, I know there’s not much I can control about this right now. I’m not even cleared to drive. So I don’t think about the situation. At night, I close my eyes and the worry machine kicks in. I couldn’t turn my brain off.
Ceiling fans go it today. I am very happy!
64 degrees Amurkin right now. Predicted hgh of 83. I’ll take that over 106!
Laundry day if I can get my loyal asisstant AKA son to carry baskets for me. Daughter is at the beach with my sister and family. They’re camping for a few days.
Back to paying bills. the glamour never stops I tells ya.
The pulled poke was quite good, and there’s enough for 2 more meals, so yay for that.
We’ve had a couple of showers, but none of them really lasted. It’s sunny now. And humid. ugh.
**FCD **wants to go to Tractor Supply tonight, so we’re going to take a ride a little later. Nothing more productive tonight.
What do you get when you pay for your John Deere in Russian currency? Why you get a ruble lawn mower! 
There’s going to be a road trip in my future. Chicago to San Francisco in 80 days sounds good, but it will be more like four days as I don’t have unlimited vacation time.
I WANT ONE!!! And it beats any of the crap OC Choppers has turned out. Remember their sucky E-85 bike?
And I’ll never forgive them for the POS they stuck on Darien Lake
Some people should not be allowed tool boxes.
It was slow at work, even I was struggling to stay busy. High of 96 today(but 102 in the parking lot). Hockey in an hour or so.

I saw the Reverend live at an outdoor festival in Durham.
We timed it just right - we got back home about 5 minutes before the sky opened. And 5 minutes after that, it was done raining.
I just reassembled the smoker until the next time. I think we need ice cream. And I need to get off line now.
MWAH!
Howdy Y’all! Home from men’s night over to the church house. Actually been home for a while but I made some meatballs for tomorrow night’s skettis ‘n meatballs dindin. A good time was had by all. In addition to steak (and a couple poke chops brought by others) we had snausage for an appetizer (with a spicy/sweet mustard called "Bone Suckin’ Mustard" which was muy nummy), sallit, green beans, baked N.O.T., and bizkits. Plus we solved the problems of the world, as usual. As soon as we can get folks to pay attention to us we’ll all live in paradise. 
<snerk> BUTT BONE! <snerk>
And on that note, I shall go snoop a couple other places on teh intartoobz and call it a night.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
Time zones are funny. I’m just fixin’ to start thinkin’ about what we’re having for din-din and y’all are going to bed.
Fluff ball is doing her cat imitation next to me. I need to figure out what’s wrong my Flickr account so I can post some more picture. She is pure adorable. While my daughter is gone, she’s hanging out with me.
Think I’ll read another book

Also, 86 days till next season’s training camps.
We’ve seen him a few times; we even have the special healing prayer cloths somewhere. One free gig he did at our county park was great because he found that they had a concert grade Steinway in the back of this outdoor bandshell. He dug it out and went to town doing old blues numbers and other stuff in addition to his own stuff. It was terrific!
Not that you’re counting or anything, right?
