Good evening all. Ate steak at Texas Roadhouse, with a fairly generous tip (over 25%) the bill came to $35, which seems to be the average these days. Then organized and filed the 2024 paperwork so I now have a place to put the 2025 paperwork. Then spent much time at the gym, and came home to sammiches and Pepsi Zero, with some carrots to nosh on. So body and belly are happy. Ignoring the last tackleball game as the first two (actually all 4 NFL games this weekend) were less than compelling viewing, IMHO.
FCM, have to try the Gala Apples again, been alternating between them, the Red Delicious, and the Cosmic Crisp apples. And hope FCD doesn’t get stubborn on the ‘top of the line’ stuff, maybe there is a compromise ‘not the cheapest but still better’ metal?
Taters, hope the package makes it soon. I seldom have any USPS problems, but between the weather and the Xmas season, I guess this time would be when things are most likely to go FUBAR.
Sorry, not into Sado-Machocism… 
I must needs fear that when I see the term ‘pasty’ or ‘pasties’, I don’t often think about food…pasties is also the term for nipple coverings some strippers wear due to local laws, IIRC)
Sticky Buns, hope the training is at least interesting to make up for the drive. And the Akron area is my old stomping grounds, haven’t been up there for years now, need to visit it sometime soon.
swampy, a nice tribute to an honorable man.
Cookie, lovely picture of Sadie, she looks quite comfortable in your place these days.
And that’s all for the late night final. Catch up with y’all on the next MMP.
