I’s been a bizzy bear today! First thing I helped JDD Bro get some papers ready so he can withdraw money from his IRA bein’ as he’s old enough and all and got those mailed. Then I was at the church house makin’ sure the biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig ass smoker is in good workin’ order for the big smokin’ of the Boston <snerk> butts <snerk> on Sattidy. Then I got JDD Bro sprung from the horsepistol and home, showered and into bed plus goin’ to get 'scripts for pain meds filled. Also, I made stuffded bell peppers for dindin which were teh nummy if’n I do say so myself.
Sattidy I shall be at the church house smokin’ Boston <snerk> butts <snerk> for a fundraiser. The funds are bein’ raised to help with the expenses of a group that is goin’ to the Dominican Republic in October to assist with buildin’ a church/school and to do some stuff in Haiti also. I ain’t goin’ cause, well, that ain’t my thing but <snerk> butt smokin’ <snerk> is my thang. There will be several helpin’ but I am chief <snerk> butt smoker <snerk> mainly cause I’m the only one who’ll be there who know how to handle the biiiiiiiiiiiiig ass smoker and make it do right. That is until I show others how to handle it. I feel it is my duty to pass my mad <snerk> butt smokin’ <snerk> skilz on to others.
Y’all know the old sayin’… “Smoke a man’s butt and he’ll have a smoked butt for a day. Teach a man to smoke butt and he’ll have a smoked butt whenever he wants one.”
Yeah, you’re right. I’m going to have to give up on gardening and home improvements.
Seriously, I think it’s going to get filled with horse manure from the southerly neighbor’s pile, with more spread over the whole area. Then, when farmer Mac comes to plow down the cotton field, I’ll slip his farmhand a few bucks to make a pass over the entire area. If a 10 ton John Deere 4WD tractor pulling a 4 ton disc doesn’t cave in any other hidden cavities, then nothing will…
Oh, and I just finished mowing Fred’s yahd. He owes me BIG BUCKS!
Ya know, iffen my wife ever throws me outta the house, (as she’s threatened to do a number of times) Ima move down to Jawja, where I’ve got a whole passel of relatives around Atlanta, and Ima go visit Swampy at dinnertime at least once a month.
Who is this Micky dumazz you’all are talking about?
Am here. Went to pick up my cement leaves (yeah, I know, I owe you a retort, Sticky :D). Came back, had dinner, and have been surfing for a while. Am about to pull out the knitting and crawl into bed.
Well I made it to Houston…but I somehow managed to lose my drivers license between passing though Tulsa security and arriving at the rental car counter at IAH.
I am now stuck until mr ems can get my passport to me on Thursday. As a ‘non-USA’ person on a visa I would have extreme difficulties trying to fly without ID back to CA. I am going to call Tulsa airpor in the morning in the hope someone handed it in. Unlikely but worth a shot. ShitShitShitShitShit
I am ridiculously anal about this stuff so I have no idea how it happened. Fuck. (Sorry for the cursing)
Then I have to apply for a replacement and as a ‘non-USA’ person on a visa my license has to be verified by immigration before they will issue another one. Crap.Poo.Arse.Bugger.Snot.
It is incredibly difficult to do anything without ID here…checking into the hotel was a challenge thankgod I stay here all the time and the manager on duty knows me.
But Doggio, we’ve known you are off for ages! Oh - you meant like in “not working today”. Never mind.
I was that kind of off today (and the other kind all the time) so I went fishing. The fish had a look of fear in their eyes that I saw. Not because they hit anything I threw at them but mostly because the water was really really clear and clean.
Arrrgghh! Everybody posting here about their itchies seems to have caused my hives to get worse. I’m having tons of breakthrough hives today, all around my waist, one thigh, both ankles, both arms and my neck. I upped my antihistamine to two pills (my doc said it was okay).
We had an Osprey come in tonight, that’s a “fish hawk” to some folks. It’s been a while since I handled a raptor that big but I managed it without getting talons stuck in my arm or my nose bit off but he sure looked like he wanted to bite my nose off. Unfortunately, it looks like he will be crippled but there are places that will take a crippled raptor for educational or breeding purposes.
I was going to have it for dinner last night but I was DOA, so it’s rescheduled for tonight.
We’ve got to run a demo for the customers this week. Yesterday we had the first dress rehearsal, which went like shit: not a surprise, since The Three Monkeyteers have created different structures than what we had in the other server. The rest of us would try to use the General Ledger Account or the Purchasing Group that we’d been given and it would not exist (I’d already found out what my new codes were and had warned the others, but they hadn’t believed me; I hate Cassandra Syndrome). We left after 7:30 instead of the theoretical 5:00. This afternoon we have another one, with two guys who are also consultants, from the team that supervises our team (and then there’s another team of consultants that we supervise); right now most of our guys are busy polishing data (mine is already all smooth and shiny). It will probably last even longer. Oh, and because there were blackouts this past night, starting at 4:30am, and that wakes up the alarms, I feel like I’ve been run over by a pickup, or perhaps a Camaro with painted-on vanity plates (because he can’t be bothered pay for actual, legal vanity plates) driven by a guy with a porn 'stache.
And there is a Power Point.
And it has…
a different transition for each slide! NOOOOOOOOOO!
My face is swollen! Actually, my left jaw muscle is swollen. I have a feeling this is related to the tooth the dentist said needed some kind of fancy filling, an inlay? - a couple of months ago. Yes, I am a dumbass, but I didn’t want to spend the money. I’m gonna go to the doctor first, since that won’t cost me any money out of pocket. I’ll get squeezed in this afternoon, I’m sure. Then probably go to the dentist tomorrow. Crap.
{{{ems}}} - I’m sorry you lost your ID! that’s gotta bite the big one.
Nava - good luck with the presentation. Working with others sucks sometimes, IMO.
Wiley - what do you do? Obviously not just a regular vet’s office!
We are getting a cool front this weekend! Woo-hoo! A low of 72° in the morning, with lower humidity. I see some weeding in my future, and maybe I’ll plant some fall flowers.
Gotta get my drawing out. Happy Hump Day, Mumpers!
Emergency, but we take in wildlife, give first aid and hold them for local rehabbers.
Still itchy this morning. I really don’t want to go to the heavy duty drugs, one could damage my liver and the other could damage my eyes. Some choice, itchy, blind or no liver. I’m going to try making a cream suggested on the urticaria website.
I found this amusing. You know about those awareness ribbons for different diseases or causes? Well, Chronic Urticaria has one too, it’s white with red spots all over it.
