AHHH Hawkeyeop’s brother is visiting Boston from Seoul and called this morning to ask if he could stay with us tomorrow and Monday night. I knew he was going to be in town in August, but thought it was toward the end of the month, and he’s given no indication that he was going to stay with us…I thought he was staying with some other of his friends from college!
:: starts trying to run around frantically cleaning ::
Going out of town for a few days! Be back next week sometime!
Good morning my peoples!
I hope today is a better day Pie.
Except for some minor rearranging of stuff and using some garage floor cleaner on a couple of spots in the garage, we’ve finally got it squared away. **Mr. Taters ** has to haul stuff to the dump and return the little trailer we rented to do that too.
Last night we drove out to see our friends clear out in the country. We visited for a couple of hours and then we came back in time to pick our daughter up from work.
Mr. Taters and I were going to take a short little trip the early part of this week, just me and him. But, since my daughter won’t be able to go on our trip to the Olympic Penninsula, we’ve decided that we’ll take a trip that includes her and the son on Tuesday and Wednesday. We plan on driving down the Oregon coast. While I’m kind of bummed that our “alone trip” is not to be, I’m glad that my daughter will at least get some kind of trip or vacation in this year.
Guess I’ll cruise the Dope for a bit now.
Hi all! Busy weekend, followed by a crazy first day at my new job - nice people, none of whom are obviously nutjobs, so I may be okay! 
Only problem was I wore my new shoes, which turned out to be insanely uncomfortable, to the point of hurting! 
I can’t catch up, because the Dope is blocked at work - the filtering software told me that the site was blocked because it contained “MATURE” content - whoever built the software has obviously never read the MMP - the height of immaturity!
Okay, off to forage for din dins! Later 'gators!!!
Back from church and brunch. Setting up to paint.
Wish me productivity!

I am breaking sod with my via spade in 85 degree heat and sun. I am dying out there, but the new flower bed will look nice (if it doesn’t kill me first). I came in because I got dizzy–it’s HOT out there.
Yikes, HYDRATE, Rigs!
Productivity max settings ON, gt!
Feel better,** Pie!**
points and laughs at Haze’s misery
Poor SpaceDawg is very ouchy and whining this morning so first thing tomorrow I’m gonna get her in for x-rays, it’s been two weeks and she’s not getting any better, in fact she’s getting worse. I’m worried about her, she’s not eating well. We had to boil up a chicken with some rice and we’re giving her that with just a bit of kibble, but Himself has to literally hand feed her to get her to take it… This is not good.
Kinda bummed…
Tile is all down, grouted, and the first coat of grout seal is drying. We put the second coat on in about 30 minutes, then the tiling is done. The tiles still look hazy, but I told **FCD ** to leave them alone and I’d clean them tomorrow. The grout need to dry thoroughly.
It’s hot and I’m tired. Once the second coat of grout seal is on, I’m done.
I did run a load of dishes in the dishwasher, and I need to water my houseplants. And earlier, we unclogged one of the outside drains that was supposed to take water away from the house and out among the trees. It was full of dirt and gunk, but FCD flushed it out and I dug the big clog out of the far end. That could explain part of the basement flooding.
And other than that, I ain’t doin’ nuttin’!! OK, maybe I’ll play in clay for a while…
I think I’m sick of working on this apartment.
Mr. Taters is off to the dump and to return the trailer and appliance dolly we rented from U-Haul.
When he returns, he wants to go to Costco. I better hang on to my wallet! We tend to spend way too much if we both go. Additionally, we haven’t been there in months so we’re going to want to check out all the “new” stuff. Finally, our membership expired at the beginning of this month, so we need to renew. Since we have the Executive membership, there goes another $100.00 before we even start shopping.
After we return from Costco I need to finish arranging stuff in the garage and then I can finally park in there again. It’s nice be able to fit both vehicles in there. This will be first time we’ve been able to do that since we bought the house.
The sun is out and it’s beautiful out there. I should make good use of the nice weather and putz around in the yard, but I don’t think I’ll be able to do that today.
Tomorrow, I’m taking my rig to the shop for an oil change and to take care of some little errands. After that, it’s laundry and packing for our trip to the Oregon coast with the kids. Someone will be here looking after the dog while we’re gone.
FCM, I’d be damn sick and tired of working on that apartment too.
Forgot to say earlier…we need a volunteer for tomorrow…
Be careful, rigs. (Although I have to admit to having done that precise task quite a few times in that exact weather. Well at that exact temp, anyway.)
Glad the tiling is done, FCM.
Thanks for the extra shot of productivity, Smarty. It seems to be working. Sorry about SpaceDawg, though. Poor critter. Give him a scritch from me.
Break. I figured I should take a break and get out of the fumes for a few minutes, though. It’s latex and not nearly as smelly as latex used to be, but I have to think that there’s still icky stuff in there somewhere. Maybe I’ll go water a couple of things and pull a few weeds.
Back later with further fascinating updates.

gt I’ll come up with sump’n. Heck, we need mundane and pointless for a MMP. That’s a thing I do real good! It’ll probably be up before midnight EDT USA which will give the night shift sump’n to play with.
Today has been fun. I went to church, Lectored, brunched then came home to people in my pool. So, I changed and joined in the fun. I stayed out til about threeish then showered. Since JoeDawg was still here and it was about his supper time, I insisted that he get fed. He ate. Then JoeDawg, Daddy, Partner and Daddy’s sister left. Shortly after that ol’ y’all know who left. Now, I’m here at da cave alone. I’m also slightly buzzed. I shall settle down shortly though and invent sump’n suitable (or not suitable) for the MMP. Either way there shalt be a MMP.
Ok, I need to pee. What? I said I’m slightly buzzed which means some amount of TMI was bound to happen.
Later Y’all!
ETA: First on page eight and I didn’t even try! Go Me!
I was coming in here to say that there’s no way on Og’s green Earth that MamaTigs can do the MMP – I called her both to check in and specifically to ask her about that. She’s got a hideous cold and is staying in bed today. I wish I could have stayed in bed today, I needed more sleep than I got last night. So anyway it’s a good thing that swampy will take it because as far as an MMP goes right now, I got nothin’. Perhaps once it starts snowing I will.
yawn Sleepy. At work. Need nap. And you’d think since I work inside a hotel I could just grab a room for a couple of hours (to sleep, you perverts)…but no.
Soooooo, I guess this means I do the MMP? We’ll if y’all just insist!
I have no desire to anything productive ever again.
So there you go.
Therein lies the true American dream!
ETA: Da Bear is drinkin’. Thus, be prepared for the next MMP to appear at anytime, with or without warning. Just like we need to be prepared for evil monkeys with dynamite on a stick, be prepared for bears who post MMP’s without warning! :eek:
