The garage couldn’t get my car to do anything interesting, so I have it back- they didn’t charge me for the messing around trying to get it to overheat, which is nice them. I wonder what caused it… 😕 ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > Do you have nicknames for your pets/SOs/Exes/ cow-irkers? I have sometimes called my boss Jethro Q. Walrustitty but thats more silly than loony. Three cookies to the mumper who gets it before googling. 😃 A lot of funerals all of a sudden for some reason - from church and some friends as well. A lot of people who have been ill for ages just giving up all of a sudden. I feel really bad for the one Pastor; just cut from his insurance and now gone. Will be curious if theres a connection. The older I get -------- the more it seems this is what the Holidays are about. ---

> [@Capt\_Kirk](#): > > Chicken Fried Bacon. I know I’ve posted this before but ---------- somewhere in or near Tiffin Ohio (I was there for some stuff at the Ritz Theater) I stumbled into this sports bar type place, possibly attached to a hotel, that encased some of their sandwiches/hoagies/subs in bacon. How the Hades they did it without the whole thing getting soggy I may never know. I had a Philly and the one guy with us got a meatball and we traded halves -------- fantastic!!! If anyone knows people who live around there, try to find me the name - I really need to go back. ---

And we’re home! I don’t know how people commute to DC every day - we got caught in some of the traffic and it was awful!! Fortunately, we were going to Columbia and we took a slightly roundabout route via Annapolis and I97. We barely got there on time. It was a decent and fairly quick meeting, there’s a chance we’ll get called to see if we want to play again next year, and it wrapped up earlier than they’d originally planned. We made a brief detour to the fish place in Glen Burnie, then had lunch at KFC - hugely meh! Since we’ve been home, I’ve made a few finishing touches on one towel and \*\*FCD \*\*is fixing one of his stencils. I need to make a shopping list for tomorrow. I’ll be leaving work a bit early to get a proper CAC, then I plan to swing by WalMart for my turkey day supplies so I can avoid stores next week. It’s bright and sunny and windy and quite chilly - what a change from having the house open yesterday. C’mon spring!!! ---

Howdy from da cave. Dindin will be grilled ham 'n cheese sammiches and oven fries just cause that’s all the energy I can muster to make anything tonight. It’ll be good though.

However, I don’t want to make it so I shall remain in want I reckon. ---

Dindin has been consumed. I sit here yawin’ my haid off as I post. I feel like I could go to bed and sleep for twelve hours, but I won’t. I’d be up at midnight wide awake. **Drae** hope you got all the stuff and roomie is feelin’ better. ---

**Midget** ’s sugar cookie recipe: 1. Combine ingredients according to the recipe. 2. Add a bit more flour. Sample the dough to see if you’ve added enough flour. 3. Add a bit more flour. Taste dough again. If you’re not sure, taste some more dough. 4. Roll out dough. Cut out cookies. Tear off a dough scrap to eat, and re-roll the other scraps. Repeat. 5. Once finished cutting out cookies, eat leftover dough. ---

Last load of laundry is in the dryer, thanks to Sah-son I am done. Until he brings it upstairs and I have to put it all away. I had a nice nap. He ate his pizza (yes the whole thing by himself) but I have half a gyro left. That can be my later dinner. I have a bowl of DintyMoore Beef Stew out there too. We eat good here at Sah-house. ---
