I know what I’m doing this weekend. Watching Usain Bolt’s last races at the World Track and Field Championships. Here is a link to the schedule Track and Field schedule
tgif Forgot TGIF. I am ready and need weekend.
Howdy from the liberry in Ye Olde Home Towne! ‘Tis 76 Amurrkin out and rainy with a predicted high of 86 and rain for the day. I’m hopin’ tomorrow won’t be so rainy for great niece’s weddin’ not that it matters cause everything is indoors. I went explorin’ the wilds of Heard County, Jawja yestiddy so did not post.
Bumba glad the eye is better.
{{{Midget}}} glad today is bein’ a better day.
doggio sounds like the repair was a lot easier than you thought. Yay for that!
{{{mad wabbit}}} glad you’re OK and hope the ride gets fixed soonest.
OK, off to check on other stuff on teh intartoobz!
Happy Firday Y’all!
**Butters **- I’m glad you told me you emailed to that account - it dumped your message in spam since your work address isn’t in my contact list. I’ve de-spammed you and sent a reply.
We’ve readied the garage for the pellet delivery - just waiting for them to call. I need to strip the bed, empty and refill the dishwasher, and I should run the vacuum cleaner. I decided to put off mowage till tomorrow - it’s supposed to be much cooler.
Meanwhile, I’m scoping out venues for the **BooFae **Fest - the trick will be finding a park with tables and restrooms that’s within reasonable walking distance of the Metro. Right now, I’m leaning toward Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, but their restrooms are being repaired and they’ve set up porta-potties. Not the best, but doable. I’ve got queries to a couple of more local folks for other suggestions. I intend to have a Fest thread posted in a few days. Aug 26, for Mumper planning purposes!
OK, chore time…
MOOOMMMM I will let you know when it gets sent as it may get sent from the admin office lady which will then go to spam. please let me know when you get it as she may not let me know.
mmmooommm Label was sent. Let me know if you don’t get it.
We have achieved pellets! There was a team of 3 guys who unloaded and stacked them in no time at all! Then I brought back the 13 bags left over from last year. 6520# of wood pellets! There’s a pic in FB, if you’re interested.
Lunch was chickie salad and cantaloupe. Rotissed poke loin for supper. Dishes have been done and I’m thinking I may finish making pumpkin wigs so I can get them packed and sent off to Butters.
I’m getting an attack of the lazies…
**Butters **- I have the label! If all goes well, it’ll be sent tomorrow or Monday.
Happy Firday!
It’s been a crappy morning. I woke up at 3:30 and since irk had asked for some people to log in early, I did. Wasn’t worth it. Then I fell asleep at 7:50 and overslept for my 8:30 shift. Then I fell back asleep after that shift.
I have lunch on the stove and after that I have to get busy.
I have to make fake crab salad for the party tomorrow, and I am debating whether to dig up the baby crepe myrtle this afternoon or tomorrow morning to take to her. I may or may not go through my costume jewelry to take what I don’t want anymore so she and my other friend can pick through it for anything they want before I donate it. I am going to go through the fridge and pack up all the yogurt and pudding cups that Sah-son hasn’t eaten and take them to her for her granddaughter. I still need to get directions too.
I have to leave early so the more I get done today the better.
I want to be up by 6 so I can be out the door by 8 to pick up my other friend by 9:30 to be to the party house by 11 so I don’t have to park 2-3 blocks away.
I should probably get up at 5.
My car (tahr) is fixed. The bad new is, like Doggio it cost as much as I have allocated for vacation this year. The good news is that it was free. 
Doggio, warm up your voice as we need to sing to assist Mooommm going thru her email, line-by-line,
“♪ Spam, Spam, Spam, Butters, & Spam ♫”
Mooommmm Yay. Glad you got it. I forgot to tell Sari that was the prettiest Blurf ever this morning.
My boss is getting on my nerves. He has always been quick to respond to texts. Since his “honeymoon” he is ignoring my texts and I do not text about anything except work stuff and as infrequently as possible. I have asked for Tuesday-Firday off next week before my teen leaves for university the following week. It is the only time I can be off to use or lose my time since I will have new hires hopefully. If he does not want me to be off just say no. Don’t just ignore. I will not be ignored. I will boil his rabbit 
:mad:
I just watched a Buzzfeed video. I never noticed that Emma Bunton and Malin Akerman looked so much alike.
Butters, not the rabbit!!
Mooooommm, that’s a lot of pellets.
Sari, safe travels. Sounds like you need to make a list (I’ve got a little list…) so you get everything done.
swampy, just getting in the car and driving is one of the great unappreciated gifts that people ignore (including me). Hope the wedding is a rainy one.
Mowed the lawn this morning and then journeyed out to pay bills and buy a couple things at Wally’s place. Two water sprinklers, a new ($11.98) watch and a 500 count box of q-tips. Hey, it’s MY LIFE and I’ll buy what I damn well please!
Hoping for rain so I don’t have to water the yard, but suspect I’ll be testing my new sprinklers in a few hours.
Evenin’ all.
I has hunny. Probably about 15lb of it. Wrestled some off the bees today, and a very nice fellow beekeeper let me use all his gear, and showed me how to use it, to get it all out of the combs and into a bucket. Didn’t get stung, despite a lot of very,very grumpy bees who were not at all amused by this honey thief taking all their stuff (I left enough to see 'em through the winter).
There any good Mumper honey recipes?
Other’n that, I am being a little grumpy today though; over the last month or so loads of my friends cheerfully volunteered themselves to help me move. I’m only currently living in one room, so professional movers would be overkill, but there are a few things that I can’t really carry upstairs by myself. I’ve helped several other people move recently; a lot of us are in similar boats, rental accommodation wise. I’ve got the date when I’m getting the keys, yay, so I get in touch with the people who offered help and ask what days they’d be free, so’s I can pick a day to rent a van.
Turns out, most of the people who cheerfully offered help are actually not going to be in the country for the whole second half of the month, which is precisely when I said I would most likely be moving, and precisely when I do, in fact, have to move. :rolleyes:
Well…Mead!
That’s already on the list, if I have enough spare, I just need to get round to bottling some of the blackberry wine that’s taking up the demijohns first.
Probably not a 6 gallon batch like that recipe suggests though, I like my liver more than that.
Coworker has been here and gone - he’s willing to take on the critters, so yay!
Poke is rotissin’, corn muffins are baked, and peas-n-carrots are simmering. Supper will be YUM!!
And I think I’ve reached my punkin’ wig count, so they should be dispatched tomorrow. HUZZAH!!
MetalMouse - I hate driving, hate hate HATE! it.
Before I got my nice work from home job I was a pet sitter and delivered newspapers and ran recovery.
It was not unusual for me to put 150+ miles a day on my car.
Never again.
I still get occasional calls to pet sit but I don’t. I still get calls asking me to come back to deliver papers and that is a NO!
I have my list, I’m skipping the jewelry and the books I was going to take for my other friend.
I’m trying to get rid of stuff around here but that can wait.
But she will not be ignored! (Hide the stew pot.)
Took Pepper on a long walk this morning before it got too hot. She was so tired when we got back that she fell asleep next to her water bowl. Good puppy! Of course, now she’s on a mini rampage. In the afternoons they never last long though.
It was 107 here yesterday. Humidity is usually pretty high, so it was miserable. I haven’t dared to look at the temp today. The forecast is close to 100 for the next week or so, then back down to something closer to late Summer norms.
I have a bigger than usual headache today, so I’m keeping things low key. I think the high pressure area may be hurting my haid.
Kiddo wants to watch “The Incredible Journey”, so we’ll be adjourning to do that.
Howdy Y’all I achieved nappage. I went to the nursin’ home to visit my uncle but he was asleep. I’ll attempt to go back Sunday. Sis and I went to the Good Ol’ Country [del] Hog Trough[/del] Buffet. ‘Twas sooooooooooo good and we’s stuffded! We also bought comestibles to make a big southern Sunday dinner. Fried chikin, green beans, corn, okra, cornbread dressin’, and ‘nanner puddin’ shall comprise the menu
Now that’s just mean!
