Slept with cats. Breakfast. Light gardening, fed ravens and birds. Played on the internet. Read books with cats. Ate lunch while watching TV- old re-runs of Law & Order. Read books. Played on the internet. Light dinner with TV. Read books. Bed. Busy busy busy.
I actually work for the state police. If you try to purchase a firearm or get a license to carry, and there’s an issue with the background check, it comes to my office to have a human look at it and figure it out. Most of the time, it’s hitting on another person with your name and/or date of birth, but sometimes, it is you and we have to decide if you can have what you want based on the information we have. It’s pretty interesting, especially when convicted felons try to get a license to carry.
Up from naptime. Watching Cane hockey. Having a Manhattan, with chicken, rice, asparagus, and mushrooms with a mushroom cream sauce.
To be fair, if I had to listen to him, I’d need a cooler of beer, too.
Not sure.

“Why can’t I have a permit, I only have 14 armed robbery convictions!”
Evening all. I actually did mop and sweep the floors today, so hooray me! for being a slightly less irresponsible homeowner. Then gym time and soccer (only 3 boys were there, it’s Fall Break) and then home to soup-n-sammich so ready for whatever the evening brings. Which is mostly cooler weather, down to 70F now and house is comfortable without the AC running.
Mollie, hope the physical went well (and sounds like it did).
red, happy B-day to your Dad.
Oopsie, Happy Lego-ing. And hopefully deck work is now definite.
Cookie, my niece, who was just a baby girl last week, turns 31 this year…Damn, I’m old…
JtC, hope you keep feeling better. And that your permits continue to have smooth sailing.
Cat Glove, my favorite Kroger employee is Tammy, usually working the self-service registers and helping people (including me) when the system doesn’t cooperate and she manages it with a smile and hasn’t killed anyone (yet). Like you, I give her good reviews when I do the survey (for 50 fuel points).
FCM, enjoy the Purdue visit.
swampy, I get updated monthly on the soccer league budget since I am on the volunteer staff (Safety Director). And I agree, it does remarkably resemble a budget. Hope you didn’t get voted into any committees… And like you, rewarded myself tonight with 1/3 of a pint of Butter Pecan ice cream.
Cookie, don’t know the bug, but it appears to be bombing downtown…
Wet one, glad you got a good ride in.
red, I get my toe looked at tomorrow, still sore, inflamed and what looks like a large blister on the side. Hope the wait for the Drs. look-see is worth something. And have gotten lost more than a few times, not too recently but I can, if somewhere new, invariably choose the wrong direction.
DrD, you need to post on the MMP more, given that you (a) have cats and (b) do sloth real good.
Rockin’, most interesting, thanks for that.
And that’s all for now, need to waste time elsewhere before slumberland beckons.
Having a coupla pierogi, some Triscuits with cheese ‘n’ sweet stuff (mostly marmalade) and a hot cuppa microwaved tea.
Monkey is wandering around being all glow-up.
Fruit flies, drain flies, or gnats?
Fuzzy pumpkin, fuzzy spider (and a slightly passive aggressive sign that does absolutely bupkis)
I’m surprised they bother, given that these are people with a history of violating/ignoring laws anyway.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to heave. It’s 50 degrees Ferret Height(10 Centipedes). Spot is on the floor licking a crack stick.
I like it.
Mornin. Tis a bright, if slightly chilly and late morning. Not sure what today’s plans are, I got part way through evicting an unwanted shrub yesterday, so I need to finish that off. I also have much important slobbing to get through.
I may need to also go back to irk to finish clearing stuff away, but I’m waiting on an email to see if someone else wants some of it before it gets destroyed.
Can’t see the pics, but I had something similar to your description on my old shed a couple of times. I assumed it was a breeding group of dinky flies taking a break, they always cleared off in a few days.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 67 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 81, a little sun this mornin’ then cloudy the rest of the day. We shall procure provisions this mornin’. Shrimpies will be purchased as sup will be shrimpies ‘n grits, roasted spare guts and cheddar bay bizkits due to a gnawin’ and a cravin’ on both our parts. Of course there will be the usual RDOS sloth. I may go to the Evening Prayer service at six p.m. Or not. I am all willy-nilly about that right now.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, I suppose I shall purtify and don attire acceptable for bein’ amongst the great unwashed.
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
Morning, mumpers! It’s currently 11c/52f with a predicted high of 13c/56f and cloudy. Weather app says “I often give zero fucks on days like today. Apparently, fucking Mother Nature also gives zero fucks.”
Moooom glad to hear you arrived (eventually). I hope Otis settles at the kennels, he probably misses you being around. Maybe he’ll make some new friends and decide he doesn’t want to come home afterwards.
red, Cat_Glove and Cookie happy birthday to your parent and siblings!
swampy ice cream sounds like the perfect reward for surviving a zoom call. If I did that, I’d be the size of a house with the number of pointless meetings I have to go to.
Yesterday was very busy but I made sure I logged out bang on time. I needed to leave the house with plenty of time to get to the gym going the longer route to avoid roadworks. That was pretty successful and I survived both of the classes I wanted to do. Came home and heated up leftover chicken curry for dinner, watched tellybox stuff and was in bed at a reasonable time.
Today’s commute to irk was soggy as Mother Nature has decided we need drizzly rain. I have done stuff, fixed stuff, and avoided attending a long and tedious meeting because I don’t actually have to be there. If I don’t have to, I am not going to! No pub tonight as my friends are away so it’ll be a relaxing evening on the sofa as 'im indoors is making dinner so I have nothing to do after my usual evening chores. Right now, it’s time to get some more tea.
And a good morning all, bladder behaved and let me sleep through the night, so feeling pretty refreshed. Will finish off my Cereal today I think so I can wash out and refill the containers, so that small kitchen job will be done. 60F heading to 85F and no rain in sight, but watching a storm in the Gulf that may head my way over the weekend. Have the foot Doctor’s appointment this morning to look at my toe, but otherwise should be a quiet day.
Shoe, don’t like spiders but love the sign…
Nut, happy de-shrubbing.
boo fae, relaxing while someone else does the cooking…times I wish I wasn’t single… 
Starting with 43 Ferrets heading to low 80s. We’ll head north after FCD wakes and we shower and dress. I just spent some time helping AuntB with her phone. She can now make video calls via Messenger so she’s all excited. But I wasn’t able to do my morning computer time. Oh well…
Purdue and lunch are our big plans. Beyond than, we shall see.
Happy Wednesday!
Good morning to all who are here. Good morning to all who are elsewhere. It’s October 8, 2026, a Wednesday. I’m halfway through my first cup of coffee. The local NPR station is doing its fall fund drive. “Give us your tires, your poor old cars rusting to debris, your jars of pennies, and we’ll tell you the truth.”
We are sustaining members of WVPE, but that doesn’t let me escape the begging drive.
Fortunately, I have the app for Ball State Public Media on my phone, and WBST is not doing a pledge drive today. Indiana has a quirky little part of its tax code that gives you a tax credit for money given to universities. So, although we no longer live in the broadcast zone of WBST, we still send them money.
Wasn’t Maynard G. Krebs of the Dobie Gillis show played by Bob Denver, who later played Gilligan of Gilligan’s Island? I would not be surprised to be wrong about that.
My wife’s new jjob as treasurer of our HOA brought news that the dues are about to rise significantly. Our neighborhood groundskeeper, Sodfathers, uses mostly gasoline and fertilizer. These commodities’ prices have been jacked up by Mr. Trump’s war on Iran, because lots of oil and fertilizer pass, or can’t pass, through the Strait of Hormuz.
Thanks, all. Yay for reeling better, novel, trimmed dogs, aliveness, arrival, similar. Boo for sick, tired, illiterate pizza customers.
Well, I’m now the front runner for the democratic nomination for President of the United States. My platform will stress the economy and the elimination of extremist directed politics. I plan to … … … wait a minute, is this the, “Lie About Yourself”, thread?! … … Oh, dear, I apologize! 
Good morning.
I woke to 45F, fog, and drizzle. It’s now 53F, damp, and foggy. The forecast is a copy/paste of yesterday’s weather; morning fog, and afternoon sun. Our high will reach 69F.
FCM, I hope you and FCD enjoy your lunch and trip to Purdue.
Red, sending hugs and hoping the second toe stuff clears up fast.
I don’t have any plans for today. My husband wanted to go to Tanaka for lunch today, but I told him I didn’t feel like going anywhere. He plans to drive to Jersey Mike’s to pick up some subs to serve as both lunch and dinner today. He also needs to pick up some doggy ice cream.
I’m working on my second cup of coffee, but I think I’ll need a third. I need to finish cleaning the kitchen, sweep the floor, and probably do a little dusting.
So, pretty much a cut/paste of yesterday.
Take care of yourselves, please.
Good morning!
AskKnott, yes, Bob Denver was MGK.
Doc appointment for Inna today. Dipshit rally tonight. Cabinet guy is coming by to make some minor changes/repairs.
Happy Wednesday!
Up, caffeinating, breakfasted and fixing to do KP. If my Jungle order arrives early enough, I’ll head to the grocery store for provisions. I do want to wait for the package, though. When it was delivered last week some @$$hole stole it from my stoop (the pic was MY stoop, so I do know it arrived).
Y’all have a great day!
Good Morning. I’m on my third cuppa. Mrs Magill actually had time to finish her first cup before the coffee maker beeped, so I knew it was safe to refill mine. Of course, with the good sleep I’ve been getting, I’m almost feeling over caffeinated.
I have counselling late this afternoon. This will be a make-up session, since we were at the RV show for my last regular session. After this one, I’ll have matriculated to monthly sessions from bi-weekly.
Are you sure? It looks nearly as big as the building under it.
