I can absolutely tell that swampbear is going to be Senior Warden someday. He acts firmly and with authority. If you want to avoid this fate swampie do not EVER mis a meeting.
Happy birthday wet one!
I managed to get off irk a little after four today. 
When I picked Nelson up from daycare, the owner said that he had a ball playing most of the day with a dachshund and a border collie pup. The little stinker seems to make friends wherever he goes.
I have a lot of chores slated for the weekend, including replacing the petunias. The marigolds and zinnas are doing fine, but one of the petunias has already died and the other one isn’t far from it. I’m thinking maybe something in dark red or another flower that’s deep purple.
Re:
My trip up the coast.
I just got home. I did the trip from Orlando, FL to Portland, ME in 2 days. Yesterday was easy as shit. I-95 from Orlando to the NC/VA state line - 10 hour drive only stopping briefly for fuel and food.
Today was hell. Fifteen hour drive. Almost got into an accident on the Palisades Parkway; totally missed the Tappanzee bridge and ended up crossing the Hudson at Peakskill; drove the Bear Mountain expressway behind a tow truck at 20 mph; then through every small town in Connecticut to get me to I-84 which was a parking lot.
Anyhoo … home again, home again, with a new Dodge Dart.
I will expand on the trip later; right now I’m pretty much exhausted.
- Bear Mountain Parkway, not expressway.
That’s why you keep multiple sticks and an assortment of other explosives handy.
I had a couple from this guy
http://www.distefano.com/cfs.htm
and I should have kept them. They were wonderful and I bet they would have appreciated over the years.
Wearing high heels & fishnets, stored in your car’s trunk? 
Up, sheveled, late (because I banged my knee, hard last night & it still hurts); gotta go for a drive so I can pass gas - He.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work.
Roxy had a screaming fit last night - my personal opinion is that they put her down too early for bedtime, but she’s not my kid, so… Then I woke again 3 hours later and couldn’t fall back to sleep, leading to an hour of playing a stupid game on my tablet till I was falling asleep again. I finally woke around 6.
Today’s plan was to mow, but I think I’ll put that off till tomorrow. I need to get some groceries. I’m also thinking about a small chest freezer, but I honestly don’t know where I’d put it. I’ll figure something out.
Meanwhile, it’s laundry day!! YAY!! Happy June 1th!!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis <snerk> 69! <snerk> Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 94 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. No biggie plans for the day other than haircuts and grab some N.O.L. whilst out and about. I foresee quality cee-mint pond time this afternoon. Also need to figure out sump’n to make to take for first Sunday brunch over to the church house tomorrow. I am uninspired as to what to make. Any need to feed at da cave today will be via forage.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, I suppose I should purtify and make presentable to be seen in public. Bother!
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
Morning all. Up about 6:30 in the Ay-em, refereeing a soccer game at 10, so just lazing around until I need to get ready.
My addiction has come back. Last night, with nothing much to do, I clicked on Minesweeper and 3 hours later managed to log off. I really, really get into that game. May have to delete it from the computer lest nothing gets done about the house.
Nut, so the bees are being fiesty, eh? Take care.
LA John, between that skeleton and the blood, be glad there wasn’t a ‘concerned citizen’ near you or the local law would be visiting…
Jack Bats, sounds like quite a trip and one I Plan to avoid if at all possible. Will look forward to your story (in about 24 hours, when you feel better).
tobob, I live in Alabama, which will legalize Marijuana in Spetember—of 2280.
All y’all working today…:D:D:D:D
Take care now.
Groceries have been procured and stowed. First load of laundry on the line, second in the washer. Roxy refuses to go down for her nap. **FCD **is running the wiring in the office. Daughter and SIL are on their way back with 4 bookshelves.
And it’s only 10:30!!!
Howdy all! I made bacon and eggs for breakfast/brunch. Now I feel a nap coming on.
Happy Weekend all.
Finally got the last load of laundry out on the line and brought in the first load - it’s rather warm out there, doncha know…
I made scrambled eggs and sausage patties for breakfast. Mrs. L.A. is in the shower, and I’ll have a shower and a shave when she’s out. Then we’re going to the Woodland Park Zoo, and we’ll take the scenic route home and stop off at a restaurant by a waterfall.
Flooding from the Arkansas River continues in LR and NLR. There is water near a previous place of employment. I do hope it nails them, but misses the house of step daughter (v.2.0).
**flytrap **- I assume you’re on higher ground?
Substantially higher ground.
Happy Saturday!
It’s hot and N.O.S. outside.
I’m sick. Trip to the armpit has been cancelled, my mother heard my voice and told me to come next weekend.
I ordered some Chinese food because I really want some won ton soup. It always makes me feel better.
Ripple is driving me crazy, wouldn’t let me nap, because he wants to go to the park. I think that will not happen today. I feel badly about it but I ache all over. We went yesterday and while it felt good to get outside, I was achy and didn’t feel like all the walking. I’ll be going out after we eat, my son can finish planting the rest of the flowers and I can supervise. That is going to have to be good enough for Ripple.
Antlers is standing his/her ground with Ripple, but still runs away of one of us humans goes outside.
The neighbors have been very quiet, I don’t know if he moved out. I haven’t heard the clink of beer bottles hitting the trash can for a few days, no drunken ramblings, no yelling, no parties. I don’t dislike the guy, but I sure won’t miss the noise. He was always inviting lots of people over, I know they all have to have cell phones, but they would still yell up to him when they got there for him to let them in.
I have previous employers for whom I feel the same way, Flytrap.
Stay safe.
That should read "Step Daughter (v.3.1), being the daughter of the current Mrs. Plant(v.3.0). It is obviously confusing, even to me, but it is nice to be able to say in conversation about the TV program Lost, “Oh yes, all my wives watched that”.
The water isn’t yet into the back yard of SD (v.3.1) yet. That is where Mrs. Plant grew up, and she and I played Trivial Pursuit some thirty years ago.
A picture of the Arkansas Riverfrom the International Space Station. Comparing pictures from April and May. Wow, that is a lot of water.
