It's Wet and Wild in the MMP: old

JtC you’ll be pleased to hear that it was very successful for us,

I’m thrilled for you, this is a bad year for fund raisers because money is so tight everywhere.

@LSLGuy

It’s OK, you’ll always be The (retired) Floozy Queen at least to me.

Awwwww! You are too kind

@NinthAcolyte

I’m feeling cautiously optimistic about the interview/job.

I’m sure you will do great! Here’s hoping you will be talking about moving soon! (Will this cause issues with your girlfriend? Sometimes distance doesn’t make the heart grow fonder.)

@NinthAcolyte

Except that I do love a Christmas service and rather miss the pageantry and gentle solemnity.

I enjoy the pomp and pageantry as well. There is a priest who does the Latin mass on certain days and I try to get to one every so often.

If I do bring the plumbers in I’ll ask what the cost would be to dig up and replace the whole line,

Can the line be bypassed along side your home? You don’t get hard freezes so would only need to bury it 6 inches or so. Of course that would be pricey as well, but might also be better than what is happening now.

@Wheelz

JtC, I may not have much spare time if it’s a one-week job

I doubt that you will have time considering what your schedule tends to be when you are working, I was thinking that if you were here for two weeks we could do some tourist stuff on the weekend.

I have driven to Los Vegas and back within the last year, it is an easy drive with plenty of places to stop and stretch. Sky Harbor is horrible at the best of times and is even worse over the holidays. I would suggest you drive just so you arrive relaxed and ready to work after a good nights sleep.

Weatherpersons are breathlessly predicting an “El Nino” year, but I’ve yet to see any of it.

We got 2 tenths of an inch on the first. I’m doubting the weatherguessers as well.

@purplehorseshoe

The only problem is the idiots who scarf an entire 50 mg (or two!! ) on their very first attempt, when they have little or zero tolerance.

I know that they were idiots who probably ignored everyone telling them to take it easy, but it still must have been scary and I’m sure they never tried edibles again. I don’t what that to happen to people, I want them to enjoy it.

I’ve actually OD’d myself on edibles a couple of times, but I knew what was going on and just went to sleep which is a super waste of money and good weed.

I guess I’m just too much of a pothead for all of that new fangled stuff, I’ve only ever heard of micro-dosing since you told me about it.

We went to the dispensary today. In New River, after they got the outlet mall, they got a honky-tonk bar, a truck stop and a dispensary. We have two dollar stores. Grumbles.

Hubs thought he would give weed another shot so bought an electronic pipe. I tried and liked the pipe, so he ordered one for me as well. That is very sweet, but we both know that I’ll go back to my familiar lil’ one hitters before the battery dies the first time.

We stopped at the diner in Black Canyon for a breakfast and when we got home I grabbed my packages and went to the post office. Ugh. I know better than to go on a Monday, everyone who lives in that town has to use a PO box, so there was a line of people with yellow “package” notices in their hands. The post office is closed on weekends so folks can’t pick up their packages but they can get their yellow slips in their PO boxes with the warning about picking up promptly because they only hold package three days.

Today is bright and sunny so hubs fired up the smoker and then broke the kitchen shears prepping the turkey. He got my long handled loppers, doused them in vodka and finished de-backboning the bird with them. (There is a very good reason I smoke so much weed.)
