Lots to catch up here since 5am on Sunday. Y’all are a chatty bunch.

From the prior thread:

**Hippy** that is a great bracelet now and a sweet story from way back when. Had a similar bracelet myself back in the day though never had a girl who would want it. Sigh. A wasted youth if ever there was one.

I now have a simple gold bracelet about like this one:

> The men's 3mm Arbor Cuff is a thicker, more hearty version of our original cuff. Made in gold vermeil, the 3mm Arbor Cuff features our signature flex technology that's perfect for everyday wear. Inspired by the Cubist Movement of the 20th century,...

The difference is mine was cheaper, came from a tourist shop I found on a layover in Cancun, and has a slogan engraved on it in plain block capitals that are filled with black enamel to stand out:

> DO EPIC SHIT

On a subsequent stay at the same hotel I found a matching one for Her Ladyship

> ENJOY THE RIDE

  

**Jane** , of course there was nothing interesting in the shed. If there had been, it would have been an evil portal to Hell filled with demons, you’d have been sucked in, and we’d never have heard from you again. 😉 Glad to here that Tweedledumber is fast approaching his his last shift.  
  
  
**Sari** , hope you can get that leg working right again. Puppies underfoot and a gimpy adult human → crippled human and injured puppy. Not a good combo. Two puppies would be serious cuteness overload, but also serious everything else overload. Best of luck reaching the right decision; whichever one that is. 🙂  
  
  
**FCM** that is a fine looking boat on top of the water. Which is _so_ much better than when the water’s on top of them.

As a former boater myself I enjoy watching several channels of YouTube dedicated to boating fails. Near here we have some notoriously dangerous inlets/outlets where hijinks ensue at every turn of the tide. Some of which vids are bad boaters boating badly (usually drunk, clueless, or both). But many are yard crane accidents, yard cribbing failures, etc. Whole lotta ways for stuff to go impressively expensively wrong. Best not to watch those if you can avoid it. There’s something inherently funny about a biggish boat laying on its side in a parking lot.

As long as it’s not yours.  
  
  
**Flyboy** , congrats on SWMBO returning safely & eagerly. And to fine dining too. Shame the stain doesn’t dry faster. Soon enough it’ll be done and she’ll be overjoyed.  
  
  
Good luck to the several school-folks as the academic year winds down to a crazy close.

> **Pilot** , hope you made your connection (or weren’t seriously delayed–if you’re going to the place I think you are, that is going to be a long walk). Everything I have heard about Costa Rica makes it a place I want to visit sometime.

Costa Rica is awesome. Can recommend. Better for a hiker or outdoorsperson than somebody seeking an inclusive beach resort or city fine dining & museums.

I _really_ should learn to never tempt fate by saying things like I did. About which more below.

Well, that’s all for finishing last week’s MMP. On to this week’s …
